different devil life

"Well, all right, let Concubine Shen come over."

Soon, Feng Chengcheng and her maid hurried over.

Her face was flushed, and she obviously heard that Wang Zhong wanted to see her, and she walked quickly.

"Common Feng Chengcheng, I have met the emperor." Feng Chengcheng said respectfully.

"Feng Chengcheng, the empress said that you are diligent in running the house, dedicated to your work, well-managed, and have contributed to sharing my worries. After the empress's suggestion, you are authorized to resume the concubine position. Concubine Shen, do you agree?"

Finally restored to the concubine position, how could Feng Chengcheng disagree, and immediately knelt down in surprise: "The concubine thanked the emperor, and thanked the empress for her compliments."

"But don't be too happy too early. If I find out that you are the same as before, playing tricks and being jealous, I can assure you that I will permanently put you in the cold palace." Wang Zhong said coldly.

"The concubine doesn't dare anymore, the concubine will definitely listen to the emperor and the queen, and share the emperor's worries wholeheartedly."

"Well, let's go."

The news of Concubine Shen's reinstatement spread in the harem, which surprised many people.

But some smart people can see that Concubine Shen, who didn't listen to the emperor very much before, is very obedient now, and she doesn't even go to the queen mother's place.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current harem is headed by the empress, followed by Concubine Shen.

With the support of these two people, the emperor has completely controlled the harem, and the queen mother is no different from being thrown into the cold palace now.

In the past few days, several high-ranking officials have been dealt with one after another, and the officialdom has been shaken!

The point is that the few ministers who dealt with it ended badly.

Not to mention that I was beheaded, the whole family was ransacked.

The upper, middle and lower generations were all thrown into prison, the males were demoted to slavery, and the female relatives were all prostituted.

It is said that the emperor copied Lu Pingying's two brothels, which are now renamed Shuiyuedongtian.

All the female relatives will be assigned to Shuiyue Cave for the guests to have fun.

The most important thing is that if there is no money to take, all the money earned will be sent to the national treasury.

Every minister is in danger, afraid that the next day he will become the next.

........................

into the night.

The secret room of the Lu family.

In the small Lu family's secret room, dozens of ministers gathered around at this moment.

Here is the Minister of Military Aircraft, holding three thousand soldiers.

There are also ministers of the Ministry of Officials, who are in charge of personnel affairs and are inextricably linked with the military.

In short, the ministers who can be here basically have some private soldiers in their hands.

"My lords, you must have seen what happened to Lord Lu Pingying's family. The men were slaves and the women were prostitutes. Lu Pingying was even worse. Even though she bit her tongue and killed herself in prison, the body was still pulled out, skinned and filled with dung, and hung in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall."

"If these things happen to you, what will happen?"

Everyone's face was ugly. Recently, Wang Zhong's series of coquettish operations made them all breathless.

"Lu Xiang, what do you mean?"

Chapter 631 A Mountain Is Higher Than A Mountain

"Lu Xiang, what do you mean?"

The one who spoke was also a minister who had thousands of private soldiers in his hands.

Lu Zhongbo said in a deep voice: "We have been in court for many years, and we were at peace with the emperor, but he didn't expect him to use us as fish on the chopping board. If this continues, sooner or later we will be like those adults whose homes were ransacked. What a shame it is for a wife and daughter to be sent to a brothel? So I am going to... seize the throne!"

"Lu Xiang, you mean...rebellion!"

Someone looked terrified.

Usually everyone is just corrupt, no matter how stupid the emperor is, they never thought about it that way.

After all, everyone has no soldiers, only a few thousand people, and a real rebellion cannot make a big wave.

"It's not a rebellion." Lu Zhongbo shook his head slightly: "The queen mother is my own sister, how could I rebel?"

"What Lu Xiang meant..."

"Didn't the late emperor have another heir, Luo Long?"

Hearing the name Luo Long, several ministers looked strange.

It's very simple, this Luo Long was born to the first emperor after drinking with a court lady, with the status of Luo Long's mother, this Luo Long is naturally not qualified to be an emperor.

Besides, this Luo Long is not a good guy. After the death of the first emperor, he was conferred the title of prince, which is just a idle job.

But because of the high status of this idle job and the lack of money, Luo Long turned into a complete dandy. It is said that he has a special hobby and likes young men.

This is no secret anymore, it is known among some ministers.

So when Lu Zhongbo said that he wanted to support Luo Long, these people felt it was strange.

But at this moment, this group of literati did not object.

It's very simple, compared to Wang Zhong, they certainly think that if Luo Long can become the emperor, their life will be easier, right?

At least, you don't have to worry about being beheaded and your wife and daughter being sent to a brothel.

"Wait, do you have any comments?"

Lu Zhongbo looked at the crowd and said.

"The current emperor is cruel and cruel to Zhongliang, and I support Lu Xiang."

"Yes, I also support..."

"I... support it too."

What these people say is high-sounding, but isn't it just for the convenience of filling their own pockets?

Lu Zhongbo said: "Okay, since that's the case, everyone prepare your private soldiers tomorrow and wait at Qingwu Gate at night, follow me into the palace, and kill... Luo Zhao in the name of rescuing the Empress Dowager!"

They have a total of [-] private soldiers, and Wang Zhong's Imperial Forest Army is only [-]. As long as they enter the palace, it is difficult for the Imperial Forest Army to resist them.

What's more, he also has an insider inside.

During this period, although Wang Zhong pulled out many eyeliners in the palace, he did not let them act rashly for a few eyeliners, and was going to use them when they were of great use.

Finally, he waited.

Tomorrow night, one of the eyeliners will open the Qingwu Gate all night and let them into the palace.

After the discussion between these people, when three of the ministers went out, their eyes changed, and then they quietly walked towards the palace with their servants.

………………

"Your Majesty, are you comfortable?"

In Luan's harem, Zhao Luan was waiting for Wang Zhong to take a bath.

There were a few petals floating in the bucket, Zhao Luan was wearing obscene clothes and was massaging Wang Zhong behind him.

Comfortable, so comfortable.

Wang Zhong closed his eyes, and said lightly: "It's quite comfortable, but queen, you've been working hard recently, don't press it, go to rest early."

"It's not hard work for a concubine, it's hard work for the emperor to take care of everything."

Zhao Luan spoke softly, which made people feel sore in his ears.

Just as they were planning to rest early with Zhao Luan, at this time, a eunuch at the door said: "Your Majesty, the people from Dongchang brought Mr. Xu over and said they have something important to report."

"I know, let them wait in the side room."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is not a member of the Lu Party. Why did you come to see the Emperor in the middle of the night?" Zhao Luan wondered.

"It seems that my uncle is going to deal with me."

Master Xu came over, Wang Zhong naturally knew what he meant when he came.

Lu Zhongbo actually didn't know that if he could put an eyeliner beside Wang Zhong, wouldn't Wang Zhong be able to?

At present, Lu Zhongbo is his biggest enemy. If he hadn't planted an eyeliner in his house, then he wouldn't have been around for so many years.

A while ago, Wang Zhong gave Xie Jin a mission to set up an eyeliner at Lu Zhongbo's house.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongbo was still very vigilant, and his servants never replaced casually, which caused Xie Jin a lot of trouble.

But it doesn't matter, after arresting a servant from Lu Zhongbo's house who went out to buy vegetables, Xie Jin succeeded in instigating against him through coercion and lure, and became his eyeliner.

Now as long as Lu Zhongbo's family makes a big move, this person will find a way to report it.

The method of reporting is also very simple. During this period, there are several vegetable sellers at the back door of Lu's house, just hand over the information to them.

Just doing this is not enough for Wang Zhong.

Another way for him is to have a showdown with those ministers.

Wang Zhong found several powerful officials around Lu Zhongbo, and asked them to have a secret meeting at the inn one by one in the middle of the night.

As before, Wang Zhong first threw out the evidence of their crime, and then announced that they ransacked the house.

These ministers were so frightened that their butts pissed on the spot, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Then came the point.

Wang Zhong suggested that they could be spared, but the premise was to inform them one by one of the news about Lu Zhongbo's treatment of him.

If you don't tell, then wait for the autumn queen to settle the score.

In order not to let them have any chances, Wang Zhong also told them that he has several insiders, if he dares not to report the inside information, he will wait for the autumn to settle the score.

In this way, the last trace of their luck was completely wiped out.

So after Lu Zhongbo announced that he was going to deal with Wang Zhong, three ministers rushed to the palace overnight, and the first one to arrive was Master Xu.

Wang Zhong put on casual clothes and went to the side room.

"My humble minister Xu Daming, kowtowing to the emperor, disturbing the emperor's rest so late, my humble minister deserves death, please punish me."

This Xu Daming is also considered a smart person, and now he dare not show any evil intentions to Wang Zhong, because Wang Zhong promised him that as long as he gave him the news of Lu Zhongbo's rebellion, he would exempt him from punishment.

In such a situation, Xu Daming had no choice at all, because if he didn't do this, Wang Zhong could deal with him in advance.

"Stop talking about this kind of nonsense, let's talk, see me so late, is there any important news?" Wang Zhong asked.

"There is a lot of news. It is the important news that Lu Zhongbo, a treacherous official, rebelled."

Afterwards, Xu Daming hurriedly shared the news.

Wang Zhong sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's exactly as I expected. Lü Ping is so far behind that he actually wants to abolish me and establish another monarch."

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhongbo is a traitor, and there are three thousand private soldiers in the humble minister's house, who are willing to help the Emperor."

"Really?"

"Weichen, I will definitely go all out."

"Okay, when the time comes, your three thousand private soldiers will be in the opponent's team, listen to my orders and fight back."

"Yes!"

"However, you must not try to play tricks, otherwise, you will really be like that guy Lu Pingying, peeling and filling the dung!"

Hearing this word, Xu Daming was so frightened that he lowered his head: "Even if I die, I must complete the task assigned by the emperor."

"Okay, let's go, it's time for me to see the other ministers."

This is intentionally said to Xu Daming, just to let him know that I'm fine without you, and I have other insiders.

In this way, it can be regarded as letting him know his own strength.

This is called bluffing.

After Xu Daming left, two more ministers came soon, and they said the same thing as Xu Daming, all about Lu Zhongbo's rebellion.

At night on the second day, Lu Zhongbo, who had already prepared, led his troops to Qingwu Gate in person.

Not long after, the Qingwu Gate opened slowly, and a fat woman walked out quietly.
