I made millions after becoming a tyrant's concubine

Cheng Liang was invited into the palace by Huo Zheng to discuss matters related to the border defense in the north, so by the time Cheng Liang left the palace, it was already time for the palace gate to be locked.

Qian Yanzhi changed into the servant's clothes, and in his hand was the pastry that Huo Zheng had bestowed on the Zhen Guo Mansion, and followed Cheng Liang out of the palace to the Zhen Guo Mansion.

Because of Huo Zheng's order, Zhen Guogong's whole family respected Qian Yanzhi very much. In order to protect his safety, he was even placed in the guest room in the courtyard where Cheng Liang lived.

It's close to Cheng Liang's bedroom, so we can discuss things together occasionally.

Qian Yanzhi, who made some changes, changed into the clothes of the servant of the Duke's Mansion, and went out with Cheng Liang early in the morning.

The noisy market, street juggling performances, and even live storytelling in ordinary tea sheds. After wandering around the city, Qian Yanzhi followed Cheng Liang to the teahouse. I'm talking about "The Story of Yingying".

It was about Liu Yingying met a rich man at the Buddhist Temple, and made a clever plan to return home.

Cheng Liang and the others were in the private seat on the second floor, and Qian Yanzhi was also fascinated by listening to what his husband said vigorously on stage. He even compared it with his own "Explore the West Chamber", especially the section about turning around the door, without him It is well written, and it seems that someone brought private goods and maliciously slandered Liu Yingying in the book. If someone brought it to the Queen Mother, then this would undoubtedly be a slander to the Queen Mother.

Qian Yanzhi asked: "I really don't understand why His Majesty helps King Cheng to deal with himself."

Cheng Liang looked back at Qian Yanzhi and said, "Only if you hold this knife in your hand, can you clearly know when and how they will strike, so that you can strike back at the critical moment."

Cheng Liang thought for a while and asked again: "I remember His Majesty said, you are doing something for him, how is it going?"

Qian Yanzhi said: "Well, it's almost there. I'm going to check and accept the results in a while, see what needs to be modified, and make sure nothing will go wrong."

Cheng Liang was very puzzled: "You actually pretended to be someone else for such a thing?"

Qian Yanzhi looked at him: "Then I don't have any tools to do it, only he can do it, but he doesn't know who I did it for, don't worry, I will silence it when it's over."

Cheng Liang stared at Qian Yanzhi and said the sentence calmly. He always felt that he was very similar to someone. As for the resemblance, he couldn't tell. It seemed to be the expression of the last sentence just now. It is no different from Huo Zheng.

It seems to be saying something unusual.

Qian Yanzhi looked sideways at Cheng Liang: "What are you looking at me for?"

Cheng Liang quickly looked away: "It's nothing, it's just that there was a mosquito on your face just now."

Qian Yanzhi touched his face as if nothing had happened, then ate sunflower seeds while listening to the book.

After listening to the book, Cheng Liang took the money and Yanzhi out of the tea house, and sat at the tea stand by the roadside for a while.

Qian Yanzhi had been nibbling melon seeds all morning, and now he was thirsty, so the temperature of the tea at the roadside tea stand was just right, so he drank three bowls first, regardless of the taste.

As soon as he put down the bowl, he heard several men at the next table suddenly talking about "The Legend of Yingying". Qian Yanzhi and Cheng Ming glanced at each other, and hurriedly moved over:

"The elder brothers are talking about the biography of Yingying?"

The few people looked at him, and the thin man looked at him: "Of course, the world said that this is the most poisonous woman's heart. I thought it was just talking."

At this time, someone stopped him: "It's just a story in a storybook, how can it be taken seriously, my aunt is very caring to me."

"It's true for the mothers-in-law and aunts of our ordinary people, but it's not necessarily the case for the women in this wealthy family." The thin man smiled mysteriously.

Qian Yanzhi hurriedly asked: "Brother looks like he has a lot of inside information?"

The thin man smiled more and more complacently, and after beckoning to several people, he gathered together and said in a low voice: "I heard that Liu Yingying in Yingying's biography is the empress dowager, she was the queen mother back then. In this way, I will meet the late emperor again and bring the child back to the palace."

"Oh? Is there anything else like this?"

"This is almost 20 years ago, how do you know so clearly."

"That's right, maybe you lied to us."

Qian Yanzhi also booed: "No, you must be talking nonsense."

Hearing their disbelief, the skinny man became anxious at the time, and said anxiously: "What I said is true. Although I was young at the time, there are not many young people in my family. My hometown is the villagers near Yunqingguan , My family members often see that the former Yang Xinhou often goes in and out of Yunqing Temple."

Qian Yanzhi was listening on the side, and sure enough, he heard something.

According to what the skinny man said, when his family saw that Li Chang often went in and out of Yunqing Temple, they concluded that he had an affair with the Queen Mother.

Even Li Chang's rebellion five or six years ago, in their mouths, turned into Huo Zheng taking action against Li Chang and the queen mother in order to keep his throne and family background.

After hearing this, Qian Yanzhi's face was full of sadness, and he really wanted to defend himself, but when he thought of Huo Zheng's arrangement, Qian Yanzhi could only endure it, and then approached them with a smiling face and said:

"I have some inside information here, do you want to listen to it?"

As soon as Qian Yanzhi said this, the group of people gathered around again.

Qian Yanzhi pointed to the luxurious carriage parked by the side of the road, and then proudly said: "That is my young master's carriage. I am working in the government of Zhenguo, and young master often enters the palace. I am responsible for the affairs of the palace." I heard a thing or two."

The group of people stretched out their ears, wanting to find out.

Qian Yanzhi said mysteriously: "There was Qian Chengjun in the palace before, everyone must have heard of it, do you know why he was deposed?"

Those people thought about it for a while: "It's nothing more than the emperor's moodiness, if he doesn't like it, he'll be useless."

"There is no comparison between the Son of Heaven and us and the common people."

"That's it."

Qian Yanzhi shook his head and continued: "No, it's because Qian Chengjun knew His Majesty's secret. Back then, the former emperor wanted His Highness Cheng Wang to be the crown prince. Why did the crown prince change in the end? Of course, His Majesty is behind now The devil even came to take advantage of the queen mother, this Qian Chengjun was deposed because he knew the secret."

"Your Majesty was only eleven or twelve years old when he was made the crown prince. Did he really have such scheming?" The thin man couldn't believe it.

Qian Yanzhi said: "Of course, do you still know that when my son and I entered the palace, I saw someone pushing a coffin out of the palace, and I quietly inquired about it later, and the person lying in the coffin was that Qian Chengjun." , Although His Majesty said that he was abolished, he was actually stabbed to death, and I found out after taking a lot of risks. Look, look, it's something I picked off from Qian Chengjun's body. "

After talking, Qian Yanzhi looked left and right, and then took out the jade pendant he had brought out from the palace from his sleeve.

Although it's not worth much, but for these ordinary people who don't usually see any good things, it can certainly bluff people.

They changed from unbelievable to surprised when they learned the truth, and lamented His Majesty's ruthless killing and deep scheming.

Seeing that he had finished what he had to do, Qian Yanzhi hurriedly took away the jade pendant on the pretext that his young master was still waiting, and fled the scene in a panic.

However, within two days, the news that Qian Yanzhi was deposed by Huo Zheng and imprisoned in the Changning Palace turned into the fact that Qian Yanzhi was secretly executed by His Majesty and smuggled out of the palace for burial.

Huo Zong, King Cheng who heard the news, was even more surprised in Huayang Palace. Seeing what the young man said with a nose and eyes, his expression immediately became very happy. He paced back and forth in the courtyard, wanting to say something something, but don't know how to say it.

The gorgeously dressed Princess Zhen saw his appearance, and couldn't help approaching him and said, "What good news does your lord know?"

Huo Zong said with a smile: "Gu Zheng is worried that Huo Zheng has no handle, but now he sent one to Gu."

Zhen Shi looked at him with some puzzlement: "What is the reason?"

Huo Zong hooked his hands towards Zhen Shi, and then he attached his head and whispered to the princess, telling Zhen Shi all the rumors he heard today.

The beautiful Mrs. Zhen turned pale immediately after hearing these words: "Sister, she didn't tell me a few days ago that Qian Chengjun is doing well in Changning Palace."

"Yeah, he was alive a few days ago, why did he die in these two days?" Huo Zong sneered, "This Huo Zheng is indeed a murderous and ruthless person, so Qian Chengjun has served him for so long after all. The person next to your pillow, you can kill as soon as you say, there is no mercy."

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly said: "Yes, it is really because I know that such a person is, so I am not worthy to be the king of a country. Such a cruel and tyrannical person will naturally not treat the people very well."

Huo Zongdao: "Yes, he is so cruel and merciless. He is alone for the people of the world. Naturally, he will not make him smile. Otherwise, who should solve the grievances of the mother and the crisis of the people."

"It's just that this matter is kept secret in the palace. It is obvious that the killing of this Chengjun by His Majesty will cause an uproar," Zhen said after a little thought, "It just so happens that His Highness is in the capital, if he does it again If there is something wrong with his morality, the courtiers will definitely force him to abdicate, so he can only say that he was imprisoned, and later he was not allowed to visit, obviously there is a ghost."

Huo Zong looked sideways at the concubine beside him, stretched out his hand to hold her hands tightly and said: "My concubine, Gu, why don't you expose this matter, so that the people of the world know what kind of people their mother and child are."

"No...you can't be a prince." Zhen Shi hurriedly comforted him, "It's not appropriate to say anything about it now, and I don't know how much the common people know about it. Let's add fuel to the flames and wait for the rumors in the capital to become popular. Then attack Huo Zheng again."

Huo Zong lowered his eyes and meditated for a while, and then said: "Yes, yes, September 24 is the anniversary of the death of the emperor. On that day, there will be people watching outside the altar outside the Taimiao sacrifice. Let's set it on that day. Attack Huo Zheng."

Zhen Shi smiled and nodded in agreement, but Huo Zong looked as if he was determined to win, and always felt that even God was helping him right now.

The Empress Dowager's reputation in the public was ruined because of "The Story of Yingying". Even if it was saved by "Explore the West Chamber", it still had a great impact on the mystery of the Empress Dowager and Huo Zheng's life experience.

If Huo Zheng can't find evidence to prove that he is of the blood of the former emperor, Huo Zong can bring his clan to think that he is pretending to be of the blood of the royal family, so he has to be dismissed, especially since his reputation among the people has been damaged before, even if he is crusade against him, Forcing him to abdicate, the people will only think it is right.

As long as Huo Zong treats the people better and reduces taxes and corvees after he ascends the throne, he will naturally win the support of the people.

Huo Zong thought so, so naturally he did the same thing. Dang Lian put on makeup and quietly left Huayang Palace to meet with some of his old officials in the capital to discuss how to force Huo Zheng to abdicate during the sacrificial ceremony of the late emperor.

On the contrary, it was Qian Yanzhi, who was in the government of Zhenguo, who checked the system's statistics on the trend of a topic in the capital recently, and felt at ease.

At present, the news that Qian Chengjun has died has spread like wildfire, and this topic has the most discussion, directly overshadowing the rumor that the prototype of "The Legend of Yingying" is the Queen Mother.

Only now did Qian Yanzhi understand what Cheng Liang meant.

Only when you hold this knife in your own hands can you strike back at the critical moment.

What can hit Huo Zheng right now is the fact that Qian Chengjun learned that his secret was silenced, but this fact is false.

When they were talking about what Huo Zheng had done, as long as the biggest thing was false and a lie, then the other rumors would naturally be self-defeating.

So Qian Yanzhi is now very much looking forward to the day when the late emperor's death will come, and he really can't wait to see what the faces of Huo Zong and the others will look like when the game he planned by himself is broken.
