The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times
Chapter 2: Palace Coup and Ascension
After agreeing to throw Jing into the cold palace, the group left again.
From being high and mighty, supported by palace maids and eunuchs, Concubine Jing became Concubine Jing who had to rely on herself to survive in the cold palace.
There will be no one to serve you here, at most they will deliver three meals a day to you.
With such a huge gap, I went crazy not long after coming here.
It's not easy for a normal person to survive here, let alone a madman.
After going crazy for a few days, he died quietly in this cold palace.
Except for the people guarding the cold palace, no one knew that the most favored concubine in the six palaces at that time died here in such a hasty manner.
Yun Zhi didn't feel sad at all about his mother's death, and even thought it was a good thing.
At least here, she can finally have three meals a day.
The palace maids in the cold palace simply ignored the unfavored Ninth Princess.
These people at the bottom of society have always been the best at changing with the times.
Besides, there is no benefit in working in the cold palace, so it is even more impossible for him to be nice to her.
The only thing that could be deducted was Yunzhi’s three meals a day, so what was sent to Yunzhi was some porridge and steamed buns.
From then on, five-year-old Yunzhi washed her own clothes, combed her own hair, and did everything by herself.
The dilapidated and huge cold palace became her residence.
In a blink of an eye, she was ten years old.
At night, Yun Zhi wandered alone outside the cold palace.
While walking on the road, she suddenly heard a strange sound.
Following the sound, Yun Zhi hid in a corner of a rockery and peeked in.
Looking at the man and woman in the distance, they turned out to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks.
During these years in the cold palace, Yun Zhi grew tenaciously like a weed.
She absorbed all the knowledge, whether good or bad, into her mind.
After the palace maid left and the guards were about to leave, Yun Zhi suddenly spoke.
"What a courage."
"Who?"
The sudden sound in the silent environment startled the guard, who walked over in the direction of the sound.
What he saw was the Ninth Princess who was obviously malnourished.
If he wasn't a patrol guard here, he might not have recognized the invisible Ninth Princess.
"This subordinate pays homage to the Ninth Princess."
Yun Zhi looked at the tall guard in front of him and said, "You should know that all the women in the palace belong to the emperor. What you are doing is a capital crime."
Hearing this, the guard turned pale with fright. The Ninth Princess saw the whole process.
He has always been cautious, and this is the boldest thing he has ever done. He had already planned to marry Chuntao when she left the palace at the age of 25.
With a thud, he knelt before Yun Zhi and said, "Please, Princess Nine, spare my life."
"It's not impossible to spare his life."
Yun Zhi looked at the person kneeling on the ground and told him the plan he had thought of in his mind after seeing the scene just now.
"From now on, you will teach me martial arts, and I will let you go and pretend that I didn't see anything today."
From that day on, Yun Zhi began to learn martial arts from him.
When he was thirteen years old, he learned from the guard that there was a dog hole behind the cold palace, and he went out of the palace from there several times.
As for what she did, only she knew.
In the forty-sixth year of Yong'an, Yunzhi was twenty years old.
Yun Zhi, who inherited the perfect genes of both of them, became more and more beautiful.
At night, Yun Zhi stroked the sword in his hand and looked towards the palace gate, as if waiting for something.
It is worth mentioning that something has been happening in the previous dynasty over the past seven years.
The emperor has not appointed a crown prince for a long time, and several princes are secretly rebelling.
Now the second prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince have left the stage forever. After all, how can you fight with the dead?
The third and seventh princes were demoted to commoners.
Among the adult princes, only the eldest prince and the fourth prince are left. It remains to be seen who will win in the end.
But in the court, the eldest prince had the loudest voice of support.
Three years ago, a general named Liu emerged. He was brave and resourceful and made many outstanding achievements. He just returned to the court some time ago.
In recent years, several talented newcomers have appeared in the court.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, sounds of running away and screams.
Flames shot up into the sky from the direction of the palace gate, illuminating nearly half of the palace.
Even in the distant cold palace, one could faintly hear the sounds of shouting and killing.
Palace coup!
This is someone rebelling.
Hearing the noise, Yun Zhi stood up, gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and pushed open the door of the cold palace.
Looking forward, he walked steadily towards the brightest fire, against the panicked crowd.
After killing the traitorous Fourth Prince, Yun Zhi, holding the bloody sword, walked step by step towards his father who fell to the ground and gasped for breath.
With every step, the blood on the sword dripped from the tip of the sword onto the bluestone slab, and the bloodstains continued all the way to the emperor.
Seeing that the crisis was over, the emperor who was sitting on the ground slowly stood up. Because his legs were weak, he tried several times before he succeeded in standing up.
During this time, no one came to help.
Although he is only in his sixties, he looks like an old man in his eighties who is about to die due to excessive indulgence.
After standing firm, she looked past Yun Zhi and at the burly man behind her.
"General Liu, you have done a great service in rescuing me and capturing this rebellious son. I will certainly reward you handsomely."
General Liu seemed not to have heard the emperor's words. He stood behind Yun Zhi with his army, standing still.
The emperor was not angry at the disregard for him. He glanced at the fourth son with a human head, then looked away in fear.
He almost died. He touched his chest which was still beating fast.
Looking at the familiar-looking person in front of him, he hesitated and said, "You..."
"Father."
When I heard Yun Zhi call me that and saw this familiar face, something flashed through my mind.
"It's Xiaojiu."
He remembered the ninth daughter who lived in the cold palace.
Yun Zhi looked at the frail, elderly man in front of him and chuckled softly, "Thank you, Father, for remembering me. But... I wonder if you remember my name."
As for Yun Zhi's name, how could he possibly remember it? He only vaguely remembered the name he asked his mother to give it to him.
A flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Why? This daughter came to question him, the emperor?
"Haha, my father is old and has forgotten. Let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaojiu has made great contributions this time. If there is anything you want, just tell me. My father will grant it."
"Oh? All correct."
Hearing this, Yun Zhi laughed, picked up the bloody sword and placed it on his neck.
"Then I, your Majesty, will take this kingdom and your life." "That's not too much."
Feeling the sword on my neck, my heart seemed to stop for a moment.
"Rebellious girl! What are you doing? Are you trying to follow your fourth brother's lead in rebellion? Put down your sword!"
"General Liu, why don't you capture her for me?"
Yun Zhi pressed down the sword on his neck, and instantly a trace of blood gushed out, mixing with the dried blood.
"It's noisy."
When his eyes met Yun Zhi's, he suddenly became quiet and looked at General Liu who was turning a blind eye.
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
They are together.
"Someone, protect..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and raised his hand to cover the gushing blood.
"boom"
There was a sound of someone falling to the ground, and fear still lingered in his eyes that were not closed.
Yun Zhi threw away the sword in his hand.
"General Liu."
General Liu, who had been silent, knelt on one knee on the ground.
"The end will be here."
"Go and invite all the civil and military officials."
"As ordered."
All the civil and military officials who entered the palace were trembling with fear, as they knew that a coup had taken place in the palace.
Now, the results are out.
There are only two possible outcomes: if the emperor wins, life goes on as usual; if the fourth prince wins, they pay a visit to the new emperor.
But what was unexpected was the third result.
When he arrived at the palace, he saw a strange woman sitting on the dragon throne.
An old imperial censor rushed out and said, "How dare you! This is where you, a woman, should sit. Why don't you get down?"
Yun Zhi lifted her hair and said, "Kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the guards on both sides walked out and slashed his throat with a sword.
Looking at the splattering blood, the ministers standing in the hall understood what was going on.
For a moment, there was a panic.
What they didn't notice was that there was a small group of people standing quietly in the line, looking at the woman on the platform with burning eyes.
"How can a woman like you become an emperor? This is against the rules of our ancestors. Now..."
Before the Grand Tutor could finish his words, Yun Zhi interrupted him, "Who says women can't be emperors? The rules will naturally be determined by the winner."
She glanced at the guard beside her, and a guard stepped forward and stabbed him in the abdomen with a sword.
Next, all the ministers who stood up fell in a pool of blood before they could even say a few words.
"Is there anyone who objects?"
Looking at the dozen or so corpses in front of them, with blood even flowing to their feet, no one dared to stand up and object.
You look at me and I look at you.
At this time, several people came forward, lifted up their official robes and knelt down towards Yun Zhi.
"Greetings to our Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Faced with this sudden change, the other ministers looked at Yun Zhi in horror.
When was this plan set up? General Liu, who holds the military power, is her man, and so are the ministers kneeling in front of her.
In the fight between the princes, only the eldest prince is left.
The person behind the scenes came out from the darkness and sat in the high position.
The situation was hopeless, and in order to save their lives, the remaining ministers knelt down.
"Long live my emperor."
From then on, Yun Zhi ascended the throne as emperor, and she was also the only female emperor in history.
The torture she endured at the hands of her mother and the life in the cold palace in her early years caused her to suffer from stomachaches and bone pain in winter starting in the fifth year of her reign.
In the seventh year, he began to cough up blood and died in bed.
After a tiring life, she can finally take a good rest.
……
This only female emperor, who also did not have a posthumous title, received mixed reviews from later generations. She killed her father and brother, and after ascending the throne, she killed all the princes.
As for the princesses, they were all imprisoned in one place.
However, what is intriguing to future generations is that she had a group of highly capable ministers who were obedient to her and would follow her orders as long as they were given.
How is this done?
It is thanks to this group of ministers that the policies that may not benefit the present but will benefit future generations can be smoothly implemented.
It brought suffering to the people of that time, but it also brought blessings to future generations.
