Quick Wear: The female supporting role saves the luck of the male supporting role and loses himself

Chapter 57: The Brutality of the Regent King Seduces the Fair-skinned Young Eunuch 3

After Tangyuan introduced the special abilities of the tiger talisman, Lin Yi felt that this energy body must have a mind, otherwise how could the special abilities it bestowed on Qiyunzi every time seem tailor-made? Lin Yi was envious of the practical abilities.

"Tangyuan, when can I use this energy body?" Lin Yi was a little tempted.

"Master, your luck cannot withstand the energy body, it will not choose you." Tangyuan's words of criticism shattered Lin Yi's budding greed.

"Forget it, let's talk about Huo Chen's revenge story first!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Tangyuan immediately became interested.

"Master, Huo Chen, with his outstanding abilities, was soon promoted to the position of the deputy general who had betrayed his father. In a battle, he tricked the deputy general into falling from his horse, and the deputy general was trampled beyond recognition by the running horse. His death was so tragic! How could the old emperor feel at ease when his spy in the Huo family army was gone? He wanted to support a new spy, and Huo Chen, who was alone and showed his passion and loyalty to the royal family, caught the old emperor's attention!"

"It's impossible for the old and suspicious emperor to trust Huo Chen so quickly, right?" Lin Yi asked firmly.

"Of course, but Huo Chen is also a ruthless person. After he returned to the Huo Family Army, he did not think about winning over the senior officers of the Huo Family Army, but cultivated his own confidants from scratch. With the blessing of the special ability of the tiger talisman, he quickly gathered a group of diehards. The old emperor wanted to use him to control the Huo Family Army, so he obeyed the old emperor's wishes and eliminated the diehards of the Huo Family Army. Step by step, he supported his confidants, and he did it perfectly."

Lin Yi's hair stood on end when she heard this. This person was more than just a ruthless person! It was estimated that Huo Chen only had hatred in his heart. As long as he could get revenge, he would not care what means he used or how many people died!

"Master, the old emperor thought he had cultivated a sharp sword, but he didn't expect that this sword would point directly at him. After a great war, Huo Chen was named General Zhenyuan for his outstanding military exploits and officially took over the Huo family army. At that time, Huo Chen was only 22 years old, which caused an uproar in the court!"

Tangyuan was so excited, maybe he wanted to be Huo Chen and fight on the battlefield!

Lin Yi also admired Huo Chen very much and urged: "What happened next?"

"Master, Huo Chen is terribly scheming. He spent six years managing the Huo family army like an iron plate, and he has not been suspected by the old emperor. After the war, there was basically no fighting on the border, so Huo Chen asked for an imperial decree to return to Kyoto and let the old emperor appoint new generals and military supervisors to control the Huo family army. However, no matter who came, they would be sidelined, and the old emperor could only receive the news he wanted. Huo Chen's attitude of not being greedy for military power made the old emperor greatly appreciate it. After Huo Chen entered the capital, he was directly appointed as the deputy commander of the imperial army. After Huo Chen returned to Kyoto, he did not contact any court officials. Although he was the deputy commander, he had no foundation and actually had no real power, but he still did his own thing and only obeyed the old emperor's orders."

Lin Yi suddenly understood Huo Chen's intention. He wanted to make himself a lone minister and become the sharpest knife in the old emperor's hand. However, the blade of this sharp knife could be pointed outward or inward.

"Master, your guess is absolutely correct. After the old emperor used Huo Chen to solve several thorny problems in the court, he let Huo Chen take over the Secret Service. The old emperor was also wary of the aristocratic family, and Huo Chen wanted to take revenge. The old emperor used Huo Chen's sword very skillfully, but what he didn't know was that while Huo Chen helped him weaken the aristocratic family, his power had already infiltrated all departments of the court. When the old emperor realized that the court and the army were all controlled by Huo Chen, it was too late. He could only appease Huo Chen and enthrone him as regent. The old emperor had no choice but to curse in the palace every day!"

"How come Huo Chen has so many talented people entering the court?" Hearing this, Lin Yi was puzzled and asked.

"Master, what Grandpa Huo left to Huo Chen was not only a tiger talisman, but also the corpses and staff trained by the Huo family for many years. Huo Chen followed his master to learn skills, but he did not cut off contact with the outside world. The corpses and staff of the Huo family cannot be said to be scattered throughout the mansions of various ministers in the court, but most of them are still there. Huo Chen also has a senior brother who is proficient in business. The financial resources for planning revenge in recent years rely on this senior brother. If you want to deal with the aristocratic families, you must have forces with different interests from the aristocratic families to enter the court. This is what the old emperor has been doing. Huo Chen has used ten years to train a group of scholars from poor families. If the old emperor wants to suppress the aristocratic families, he has to promote scholars from poor families. Huo Chen's identity as the chief envoy of the Secret Service Department provides him with better convenience. When he clipped the wings of the aristocratic families, he had already made the old emperor and the aristocratic families completely incompatible, and also made his own wings continue to grow."

It's amazing! Huo Chen's strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf is brilliant! He used the old emperor's suspicion to weaken the aristocratic family and strengthen himself, but also made the old emperor lose the support of the aristocratic family. Without military power and the support of the aristocratic family, what is the difference between the old emperor and a paper tiger.

"Tangyuan, the aristocratic families were involved in Huo Chen's coup, right? Since ancient times, the imperial power has been changing, but the aristocratic families are unchangeable. If there is a disobedient emperor, the aristocratic families must have wanted to replace the throne for a long time, right?" Lin Yi asked knowingly.

"Yes, Master. The young emperor's in-laws are from the aristocratic Zheng family. By the way, before the young emperor's biological mother, Concubine Zheng, entered the palace, she and Huo Chen were recognized as the golden couple in Kyoto. At that time, both families had plans to discuss marriage, but later something happened to the Huo family, and Concubine Zheng was sent to the palace. At that time, the noble ladies of the three aristocratic families, Cui, Lu, and Xie, were also sent to the palace. Cui was directly named a noble concubine, and the noble ladies of the other three families were later gradually promoted to the four concubines."

"So, the Cui family contributed the most to the Huo family's affairs, and the Zheng family was also involved? This old emperor is really shameless! Not only did he eliminate the Huo family, but he also got the fourth daughter's beautiful wife!"

When Lin Yi finished the first half of the sentence, Tangyuan was still praising his master for his wisdom in his heart, but when he heard the second half, he knew that his master's thoughts had gone astray again.

"Master, the old emperor has passed away. He is not the focus of our attention!" Tangyuan reminded.

"I know. I'm just telling you! Does this mean Huo Chen and Concubine Zheng are having an affair?" Lin Yi's gossipy flame was burning again.

"No!" Tang Yuan said firmly, and immediately added: "The Zheng family is the weakest of the four great families. Huo Chen is trying to win over the Zheng family in order to divide the four great families!"

Lin Yi didn't hear the gossip she wanted to hear, and said "Oh" with regret, and then asked: "What are Huo Chen's weaknesses or hobbies?"
