Eunuch's professionalism

Shao Huachi stared blankly at the closed palace door. The man who used to control everything about him and Concubine Li, the father he had looked up to and longed for since childhood, finally ended his absurd and lamentable life.

And he found that he was not as sad as he thought.

After being abandoned and humiliated again and again, all the feelings are running out, and they have been consumed too much, so I don't have any thoughts.

Everything he can have is earned by himself, whether it is a future or a lover.

Shao Huachi clenched his fists, and then slowly opened them up. Together with the other princes, he bowed respectfully to the palace gate, and there were sobs all around.

Seeing Emperor Jin Cheng die, Mei Jue walked out of the room slowly, and the eunuch at the side also knelt down and cried after confirming the emperor's death: Long live my emperor, long live the king.

Uncovering the truth at the end was Mei Jue's plan from the very beginning, and it started planning several years ago.

Relying on this identity, she provided many conveniences for the Fu Party and the Seven Kings Party, and gradually got closer and closer to the lifeblood of the emperor.

What is the most shocking thing is to give people an established and accepted fact, but before he is about to leave this world, it completely subverts what he thinks in his heart.

Even Emperor Jin Cheng, who had been up and down in the court all his life, would not be able to bear such a gap, and his already terminally ill body was like a candle that would go out at any time.

Perhaps for Emperor Cheng of Jin, Mei Jue was the last pure land in his heart, the person he devoted countless affections to.And it was she who spread out everything she had done from getting his attention at the last moment, and completely destroyed a beautiful world built by Emperor Jin Cheng. This was the heaviest spiritual blow to Emperor Jin Cheng.

Even without Mei Jue's last poisonous powder, Jin Chengdi would not be able to breathe a few more times under the multiple blows.

As a person in the harem, from the perspective of the status of women in this period, Mei Jue is not qualified to resist, and even these should be suffered by her. Others may not understand her obsession, but Fu Chen, as a modern person, is Understand that some people are not destined to be assimilated by the environment.

He didn't trust Mu Junning that much, but for Mei Jue, he was almost sure of her character and trusted her even more.

After it was confirmed that the emperor had passed away, there was wailing inside and outside the capital.

The sound of the death knell could be heard throughout the capital, echoing in everyone's ears.

The only concubine Mei who was by the emperor's side at the end, or now it should be said that Concubine Mei Xian quietly returned to her residence and shunned everyone. The servants all thought that Concubine Mei was too sad, but Mei Jue was full The calmness of the face.

Looking at the poisoned wine in her hand, she laughed.

"It's over... everything..."

This is what she had prepared for herself a long time ago, even with ready-made reasons, she was too sad and left with the emperor.

Whether she succeeds or not today, she never thought about living again.

Just as she was about to gulp it down, the door was pushed open suddenly, and the Twelve Guards who had stayed in the palace under the jurisdiction of Shao Huachi appeared in time, and a dart hit the glass of poisoned wine, and the glass fell out of Mei Jue's hand. It fell and hit the ground, spilling the venom all over the place.

Shao Huachi walked in expressionlessly, looking at Mei Jue who couldn't react, "What are you doing, dying for love?"

"King Rui, shouldn't you be in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time?" All the princes and ministers should not leave easily, but should discuss the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

"He asked me to watch the situation of the mother and concubine after the emperor's death. It seems that he is right. Do you want to seek death?"

This him, of course, refers to Fu Chen.

"...I have fulfilled my original promise, and I decide my life and death." Seeing the situation so far, Mei Jue also told the truth, her obsession to support herself for a long time has been completed. This idea came up naturally, and Fu Chen also noticed it when Ah Yi sent people to assassinate him before.

"What if you have flesh and blood in your stomach?"

"What are you talking about...me!" Mei Jue looked at her unresponsive stomach in disbelief.

"You can seek an imperial physician to confirm."

Mei Jue recovered from the surprise, and slowly calmed down. She was a little confused about this son in name, "What do you want?"

"I hope you and this child can live well. One day when I have Shao Huachi, there will be a day of glory for you and the child."

"Why, what good does this do for Your Highness?" What Mei Jue wanted to say was, what does this have to do with you, King Rui.

If she goes with the emperor, it should be the situation that everyone wants to see, and it is the beginning of a new harem balance.

If Fu Chen had such kind thoughts, she would believe it. People like Fu Chen look cruel, but in fact they have many weaknesses, sympathize with the weak, and often do things that are thankless to outsiders.

But His Highness is just the opposite. Although His Highness Seventh is her son in name, but in all fairness, she feels that he has deep plans and is not easy to get along with.Whether he is in the folk or in the palace, he has a very good reputation and reputation. Either the name of the virtuous king is better than the virtuous king, or she has heard of it in the palace.King Rui seems to be impartial and selfless, but in fact he is the epitome of the court infighting, a typical man in a struggle for power, who will do anything for his own benefit.No matter how he behaves, everything he does probably has a number of purposes.

Shao Huachi didn't want to say more, he and Mei Jue had a good relationship, so stopping him at this time was regarded as a mother-child relationship, "Mother and concubine, why worry too much, hurt your health. I hope mother and concubine can rest well, and my son has important things to do. Take your leave first."

There are benefits, of course, otherwise why would he send someone to watch over Mei Jue at this critical moment, and then personally come over to persuade her.

One is that Concubine Mei's child does not pose any threat to him, the other is that Fu Chen wakes up and does not want to hear the news of Mei Jue's death, and the third is to build a net for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, no matter whether this net is useful or not.

Fourth, and most importantly: fetters.

Fu Chen is a person who is difficult to be restrained, and he is not willing to be restrained.Even if he promises to be with him now, anyone can detect that this is his coercion and lure plus Fu Chen's grateful dedication. Shao Huachi doesn't even care about the truth, so he doesn't mind doing something that Fu Chen cares about even more. , constantly strengthening the invisible involvement in this aspect, the more concerned, the harder it is for Fu Chen to leave.

The broken tooth is still connected, if Fu Chen wants to leave, he has to consider how many people in the capital are inextricably related to him.

Shao Huachi walked out of Yongmei Hall, and saw Mu Junning standing not far away.She had already seen that Mei Jue's state was not right, so she followed her.

Shao Huachi didn't seem to see her, and he didn't even stop.

Both he and Mu Junning were each other's heart disease, but they had to get in touch with each other occasionally because of the party disputes inside and outside the palace and the imperial court. Although Shao Huachi hated her deeply, he just ignored her now.

After listening to the whole process, Mu Junning half leaned against the big tree with her thin body, coughed twice, her pale face was full of sarcasm, "You really did everything you could to tie him up."

Shao Huachi continued to walk forward.

"You are so selfish, sooner or later... there will be retribution! If he knows, he will definitely leave you, a despicable and shameless person!"

The word "Leave" hit Shao Huachi's strings thoroughly, and his cold eyes fixed on Mu Junning, "Heh, who is not selfish? Don't talk about how noble you are, but you used to put it on for yourself and your daughter. He sold it to me. Go ahead and tell him, and if he believes you, you still believe me."

"You are...shameless!" Mu Junning said angrily and incoherently. She already regretted what happened back then, and she was still ridiculed by Shao Huachi.Since the last time she went to Prince Rui's mansion, she had already noticed that Fu Chen had completely joined the Prince Rui's party. Seeing this relationship, she couldn't shake it, so she could only ruthlessly say: "Using power for personal gain, using public power to win love!"

"Imperial Concubine, your posture is really ugly." Shao Huachi smiled softly without showing any weakness, "But I happen to like to appreciate the face of losers."

Hearing the curses behind him, Shao Huachi slowly looked at the birds flying in the sky.

I will try my best to keep you.

On the night of the emperor's death, just as Fu Chen expected, this was the moment that many forces were waiting for.

While the ministers were discussing whether to send troops to meet the returning new emperor and preside over the overall situation, Xu Qing, Shao Huachi and others received the battle report from the front.

Prince Rui, Shao Huayang, was currently gathering his forces, summoning the rebel army, and launched a siege to the capital from both sides, pointing his sword at the Emperor's Seat.

This is a good time. At this time, people in the capital are scattered. It is also at this time that King An has not succeeded to the throne. Everything seems to be going on in a logical manner, and everything seems to be possible to turn over at any time.

It seems that at this time, as long as the troops are assembled and successfully attacked the city, everything will be a foregone conclusion.

Hearing that the army was about to approach the city, the ministers who were arguing endlessly about whether to pick up the new emperor stopped their voices, and looked at Xu Qing with an extremely solemn face, the scene was once extremely tense.

Xu Qing looked at the civil and military ministers, took out the tiger talisman on his body, and ended such meaningless debate in a strong way. What is more important now is how to use troops to resist the rebel army after the emperor's death. The number of rebel troops this time Still unknown.

Xu Qing was Minister Gu Ming, and was appointed by the late Emperor himself. Naturally, the weight of his words was not comparable to that of Shao Huachi, a prince who had just been dismissed from his position. From this moment on, they entered a new stage.

And like Yu Wang Shao Ziyu, at this time, he looked around and left quietly while the surroundings were not paying attention.

No one will pay attention to such a prince who is gradually being driven out of the core of power.

Shao Huachi glanced at the direction in which King Yu left, and whispered a few words towards the guards behind him.

His ninth younger brother always used his intelligence in the wrong place. For example, at this time, does he want to take advantage of the chaos to rob or become king?

Shao Huachi only sent someone to watch, he had more important deployments to be made with several generals.

They had discussed on the city wall that the last attack was just a test, and now it was considered serious.

Xu Qing, Feng Lin and other generals were discussing the route of Shao Huayang's uprising army. Several generals expressed their opinions. They knew that the orders given here would determine the future unification of Jin, so the debate was extremely fierce.

After listening to it, Shao Huachi made a shocking proposal.

Xu Qing looked at Shao Huachi, who wanted to put all his eggs in one basket, and said, "You mean to keep most of the soldiers in the city, and only send [-]% to guard the city gate?"

As the general of the Acropolis, Feng Lin was the first to raise objections, even with reprimands in his words, and other generals also condemned.Since Shao Huachi has been on the battlefield and has a record of defeating the enemy, he is naturally not the kind of prince who doesn't understand anything and only messes up the country, so he was not kicked out of this discussion, but they all criticized him. He had the idea that "this kid is too ridiculous" because it was too risky.

In fact, Shao Huachi thought of what Fu Chen said before Fu Chen went to bed: Don't touch Shao Anlin, save the capital first.

At that time, Fu Chen deliberately emphasized the word "guarantee". At that time, Shao Huachi sensed another meaning in Fu Chen's words. He was suspecting that there was fraud in this siege, so where is the specific fraud?

If you think about it carefully, everyone doesn't know that Shao Anlin has a problem. In the eyes of others, he is the new emperor who has been entrusted with important tasks, but Shao Huachi knows the truth. The third child is a puppet of the Ji Kingdom. Jin Chengdi's imperial edict, and I believe that the third child has long known that he is the heir to the Datong. Why does the second child need to "rebel" and make it so loud? How much intention is there in it?

Shao Huachi had a series of guesses in his mind, but guesses were just guesses.

At this time, even if he said that the third child had a problem, he would get the same result as he had told his father before, thinking that he was framing the future new emperor with ulterior motives.

He must convince this group of stubborn generals from other entry points.

Now he has made a bold idea, leaving only [-]% outside the city and keeping most of the troops inside the capital. This is indeed crazy in the eyes of most people. If there is no skin, how can Mao be attached?

But Shao Huachi was more sober than anyone else. Even if the outer city was breached, as long as the inner city, that is, the palace they were in, was not breached, they would have the capital to negotiate and fight back.

Moreover, he wanted to know, if he didn't play the cards according to the rules, would the opponent's strategy go on smoothly.

Because according to the opponent's original strategy, there will be more than [-] enemies in the capital.

Now that the [-] is gone, the other party doesn't know about it. This is actually a loophole.

Can the capital that blocked these internal responses take advantage of this loophole?

"Yes, I hope to keep most of the soldiers in the city." Shao Huachi paused. He had to try to persuade at least half of the generals in a short time. Among them, Xu Qing did not agree with Shao Huachi's approach, but in the end the two It's in the same camp now, and he knows that King Rui is definitely not a person who will act on his own will.

Jin's generals are usually not very good-natured. Hearing Shao Huachi's outrageous words, he would not accept it, and some even wanted to blurt out nasty words.

With Xu Qing's gesture, the scene was barely suppressed.

At this time, his role is revealed. Fu Chen has been so dedicated to win over this veteran, and there is also a deep intention. Although Xu Qing has retired behind the scenes for many years, he still has prestige and connections. With the addition of a right, it can be said that at least so far, the prestige of a prince in Shao Huachi is far less than that of a general with real power in the generals.

After Xu Qing controlled the scene, he asked Shao Huachi, "Please give us a convincing reason."

He can't be too biased in the big scene, but it will give King Rui a chance to show himself. First, the situation is indeed urgent, and second, there is a need to defend the city. Third, he is paving the way for King Rui.

Most of the military generals present did not participate in any princely party, and most of them were pure ministers. If Shao Huachi could perform one or two things, the benefits to the future would be immeasurable.

Shao Huachi naturally understood Xu Qing's three intentions, and he accepted it.

"May I ask you all, how many troops are currently stationed in the capital?"

"The Imperial Forest Army, the generals defending the city and the guard soldiers, totaling [-]." E Hongfeng, who was the commander of the Imperial Ling Army, replied. Although he didn't know what Shao Huachi's intentions were, he still answered truthfully.

This kind of defensive force has actually surpassed the previous dynasties.

"More than 8." Shao Huachi nodded and continued, "Then everyone should remember that not long ago, we found about [-] enemies, and we estimated that there were [-] enemies in total, that is, Nearly [-] people are still in the city. This matter will be mentioned later, when this group of people spent many years infiltrating the capital, everyone should remember their confessions."

In this matter, after Shao Huachi withstood the first attack, he asked Xu Qing to invite these big figures from Beijing and China to come, hoping to unite as one.

Fortunately, most of the generals here are left by the former Emperor Taizu, or the descendants of those loyal ministers, and they still have some thoughts of loyalty and patriotism. Otherwise, Shao Huachi is not even willing to waste this tongue, so it is better to directly kill the superior, he He doesn't care about bearing a bad reputation, but he doesn't care, Fu Chen cares.

Everyone nodded. They all knew about this serious problem and admired it in their hearts.

It can be said that Shao Huachi saved the fall of the capital and exposed the enemy's conspiracy for many years.

"Now the other party doesn't know that we have captured this group of people. It should be said that they have not had time to get the news. Since they don't know, then we can use this group of people to counterattack."

This is the purpose of Shao Huachi. He directly and secretly executed a small number of stubborn royalists of the Halberd Kingdom. They were all deeply afraid, but Shao Huachi gave them a chance to make up for their mistakes and temporarily placed them outside the city.

Shao Huachi naturally didn't care whether this group of people really changed their choices or they pretended to agree, as long as he controlled most of the 8 people, he would sometimes catch the enemy by surprise.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a little thought, everyone could understand what Shao Huachi meant.

Shao Huachi wanted the group of "enemies" to attack the rebel army assembled by Shao Huayang, that is, the enemies who officially besieged the city.

And this group of enemies is still numerous, and now a group of people who were originally enemies are being used by them against the Jin State, and even because they were originally the ones who came to cooperate with the outside world, they are mainly young and middle-aged labor force, not much worse than the guards in the capital, let When they come to attack, no matter how clever the enemy is, they can't think of it.

"I believe you all understand that even if all the 8 troops in our garrison are sent out, they are not as large as the [-] to [-] people. In this case, why not use [-]% of our troops to strengthen the inner city and [-]% to defend against the enemy outside. For the rest, let the people who don't know whether they are enemies or friends go forward to resist."

As a veteran, Xu Qing quickly understood this trick, and exchanged glances with Feng Lin.

This trick is wonderful. Originally, Shao Huachi resettled the tens of thousands of people outside the city, but Xu Qing was still a little worried. The population was too large, and food, riots, people's hearts, and conspiracy accompanied it, and there was always the danger of betrayal. Not reassuring.

It turned out that Shao Huachi was waiting for this moment.

The plan is to not only settle this group of people smoothly, but also use waste to let them deal with their original "allies", which not only reduces the risk of being attacked, but also minimizes other losses. No one can guarantee what peace of mind you have after surrendering.

This is killing many birds with one stone, and it can also be said to be a countermeasure, letting them go dog to dog.

And even if this group of people turned their backs, the worst result would be that they would not be able to defend the outer city, and the heavy soldiers would still guard the inner city, instead, it would be a scene of looseness on the outside and strictness on the inside.

Next, you can confuse the enemy and mistakenly think that the capital has no troops.

Feng Lin glanced at his old friend: This His Highness is really incredible!

This calculation simply blocked all the way out for the opponent.

Xu Qing also had lingering fears. This Highness was born to be an emperor.

Even if the imperial edict came down, with Shao Huachi like him, it's still unknown if Shao Anlin would be able to secure the throne.

"Okay! Let's do as His Highness says!" The other generals agreed one after another, and everyone was happy that they didn't have to sacrifice their own soldiers.

And if it is successful, this is a typical case of winning more with less. This kind of strategy is enough to be recorded in the annals of history!

And they are equivalent to witnesses of history.

"Then I will thank you all. For these people, we can promise huge profits." Of course, Shao Huachi did not think that the group of people whom he temporarily bribed were really credible, so he added a reward just in case.

For example, how many heads are killed by the rebels can be exempted from hard labor, and even become Jin people without being registered as lowly. Those who kill more will be rewarded with gold and silver and high officials.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, let alone a group of people who are driven by survival.

This gathering also established Shao Huachi's position in the hearts of all the generals.

Wu Rentuya stuffed a brown pill into Fu Chen's mouth, grabbed Fu Chen's sleeping head with one hand, supported his neck with the other, and let the pill enter Fu Chen's body with a clever effort.

The rest of the Fu Party focused their attention on Fu Chen.

Three days have passed, and if the medicine is not given now, Fu Chen may really die.

And the other group of people were still observing the sky in the courtyard to see if there would be any changes in Ziwei's natal chart if Fu Chen woke up.

In fact, the people in the house were not sure whether the suspended animation would work, especially Wu Rentuya who prepared the medicine. Whether Fu Chen woke up was related to the lives of their whole family.

And Fu Chen, who was expected by everyone to return, had a movement half an hour after swallowing the medicine.

His eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
