Ming Jing Tai

In front of the Mirror Stage, Yi Zhongren slowly drew a deep red eyeliner in the corner of his eyes stroke by stroke.After sketching, he slowly painted the lips.Deep purple lips, dark red eyeliner, and white face outline a demonic appearance.

Half an hour ago, Yi Zhongren received secret letters from Zhang Zhong and Concubine Ru respectively, telling him to act tonight.A sneer appeared on the corner of Yi Zhongren's mouth.

"Son, from now on you will be called Yi Zhongren, 'reborn as a human'. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Forget your original name. Your surname is Yi now, and you are a young eunuch who just entered the palace. Your fate It’s hard to come by, don’t think about revenge, the most important thing is to survive.”

Yi Zhongren put down his brush and looked at his own face in the bronze mirror.

Is it important to survive?Then what are his dead parents and relatives?What is the man's self-esteem he lost?No, survival is not the most important thing.

Standing up, tidying up his clothes, Yizhong wrapped himself in a cloak and went out.The sun has set, and the heat of November has long since disappeared.With the cold wind blowing, Yi Zhongren entered the palace.

Kun State's army had already entered Southern Chu State, and they were now confronting King Yue's soldiers and horses. On the side of Tianshen Sect, Emperor Jiazheng just sent Hu'anwei and Yuqinwei's troops to destroy it.

Emperor Jiazheng obviously hated the King of Yue even more.

The army of the imperial court and the army of the state of Kun are both aimed at the king of Yue, and Huo Feng is under great pressure. Huang Han's troops have joined up with Huo Feng half a month ago, and now they are fighting fiercely with the troops of the state of Kun at "Baiyu Pass".

At present, there is no obvious atmosphere of war coming in the capital city. There are many rich gentry and high-ranking officials of the Southern Chu Kingdom gathered here.The fact that the Kun Kingdom sent troops seems to give these people a reassurance. Although the smoke is everywhere, it does not affect some people's eating, drinking and having fun.

Yi Zhongren rode his horse towards the palace, followed by Huanwei guards, and people on the street were all polite and avoided him when they saw him.You don't need to know who Yi Zhongren is, but you absolutely must know this makeup.

Girls' teasing and men's obscenities could be heard from the nearby brothel from time to time, the Yizhong man glanced over there and reined in his horse.Seeing the look in his eyes, the pedestrians around were all terrified.

Yi Zhongren said to the guards of Shanghai Security Guard behind him: "When the country is in crisis, there are still people drinking and having fun, they should be punished."

The two subordinates following the Yizhong people immediately led two troops to leave the team. After a while, screams and cries came from the brothel.

Yi Zhongren curled his lips and rode his horse to continue towards the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jiazheng was losing his temper.Before the King of Yue could clean it up, another "Tianjin Sect" appeared.

Emperor Jiazheng reigned for more than ten years, and enjoyed himself for more than ten years, but now he was overturned in the gutter, and he was full of anger after more than four months of tension and dealing with government affairs.

Anyone who is interrupted while eating, drinking and having fun, and who is busy worrying and busy day and night, will be disgraced, let alone Emperor Jiazheng who is not interested in the government at all.These four months have been like years for him. Every day, he looks forward to a magical soldier appearing in the sky and killing all the villains in the rebellion in an instant.

Emperor Jiazheng was not happy, and the people under him were naturally unlucky.Not to mention the eunuchs and maids who served him closely, if they didn't pay attention, they would be scolded at least, or even killed.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Emperor Jiazheng turned up Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu's old account again.Even if the King of Yue had the intention of rebelling against him, it was because Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu attacked the King of Yue first and gave the King of Yue this excuse.

The court is now divided into two factions, one is naturally Zhang Zhong, Sun Jiyu and his ilk; the other is the ministers who are trying to pull them down.

Because Emperor Jiazheng began to rule in person, Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu could not blatantly arrest ministers as they did in the past.Coupled with the fact that Emperor Jiazheng was always a little more angry with them this time, the two of them didn't dare to be too arrogant at this juncture.This also led to the fact that almost every day, some of their books were sent to the emperor.

Anyone who listens to bad things about others will feel bad for that person.Hearing ministers say what evil things Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu had committed every day, and the favored concubine whispering in their ears, it was impossible for Emperor Jiazheng to trust Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu as much as before.

Emperor Jiazheng was not stupid, and after more than four months of being in charge, he also noticed some signs of deception between the two.Out of warning, to scare chickens and monkeys, and to vent his anger, Emperor Jiazheng directly ordered Shanghai Anwei and Yu Qinwei to punish some powerful people.If Concubine Ru hadn't protected Yi Zhongren, Yi Zhongren would have escaped death.

The situation was getting more and more serious for Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu, and this night, Zhang Zhong was fighting with his back.

Emperor Jiazheng scolded several ministers bloody in the imperial study.Even a small Tianshen sect can turn Southern Chu into a mess, he doesn't scold the ministers for scolding anyone - Emperor Jiazheng will never take the responsibility on himself.

After scolding the ministers, Emperor Jiazheng returned to his bedroom full of anger.Under Aifei's consolation, he felt better and ordered the imperial dining room to deliver dinner.

In the most magnificent palace in the harem, Concubine Ru sat alone in front of the Buddhist altar, with a pure heart and respect to the Buddha.If someone who knew her well was present, she would definitely find that she was a little nervous under her calm face.Concubine Ru's fingertips trembled slightly as she turned the Buddhist beads, her delicate makeup was two points paler than usual.

Time passed slowly, Concubine Ru opened her eyes, put down the prayer beads, and slowly stood up.

"Rong Wei, what time is it?"

"Go back to your mother, it's two o'clock in the afternoon."

Concubine Ru's hand visibly trembled.She took a deep breath calmly, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and said to the eunuch guarding outside: "I am going to see the prince. He is getting more and more naughty now, don't let him be like yesterday." I just went to sleep."

"Yes."

Concubine Ru took her guards and attendants to the uterus.

※※※

In the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Jiazheng hugged his concubine and closed his eyes to meditate, with a bit of anger still in his brows.

Concubine Qin lightly rubbed Emperor Jiazheng's eyebrows, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, you haven't had a good rest for several days, you should rest earlier tonight."

"I don't want to sleep." Emperor Jiazheng opened his eyes and said bitterly.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch on duty came from outside: "Report to the emperor, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Sun have asked to see the emperor, saying that they have something important to report."

"Look, something is coming up again. These annoying guys can't let me live in peace, they are all trash!" Emperor Jiazheng let go of the beauty and walked out of the bedroom.

Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu came in with their heads bowed, followed by Yi Zhongren.As soon as the three of them entered, the eunuch on duty withdrew and closed the door.

The three of them knelt on the ground, Emperor Jiazheng took another look at Yi Zhongren, and asked coldly, "What's the important thing to report? Did the King of Yue call here, or did the 'Tian Shen Sect' capture a few more cities?"

Sun Jiyu glanced at Zhang Zhong, he was called by Zhang Zhong.Zhang Zhong only said that he had received a piece of secret news, but he didn't tell him what kind of secret news it was, and he would tell it in front of the emperor.Sun Jiyu was a little unhappy, why would he be afraid that he would get the first chance?

Zhang Zhong lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves have found out where the prince of Yue is."

"what?!"

Emperor Jiazheng let go of the woman in his arms, and Sun Jiyu was also shocked.

"Where is it!" Emperor Jiazheng was very excited.After catching the son of King Yue, he has another bargaining chip in his hand to threaten King Yue!And it is a very important bargaining chip!

Zhang Zhong raised his head and said with hesitation: "The hiding place of King Yue's son... may be a place where the emperor can't send someone to arrest him. I dare not say it directly. I can only tell the emperor quietly."

"A place where I can't even send people to catch it? Could it be the sky? You come here." Emperor Jiazheng pointed his finger at Zhang Zhong, and he wanted to hear where there was such a great ability.

Zhang Zhong immediately stood up and walked over, killing intent flashed in Sun Jiyu's eyes.Is Zhang Zhong planning to take it all by himself? !

Concubine Qin stepped aside, Zhang Zhong came to the emperor and leaned over, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "The servant found out, the prince is..."

At this moment, Zhang Zhong suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, stabbed at Emperor Jiazheng's waist, and covered Emperor Jiazheng's mouth and nose with his other hand.

Emperor Jiazheng opened his eyes wide, staring at Zhang Zhong in disbelief, how dare you!

"Ah!" Concubine Qin exclaimed.

Sun Jiyu froze for a moment, jumped up and was about to call someone.The next moment, he felt a chill in his neck, his gaze changed at a strange angle, and the last thing he saw was a blood mist.

"boom!"

The door of the bedroom was suddenly knocked open, Yi Zhongren who killed Sun Jiyu quickly wrapped the soft sword around his waist, and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty!"

A group of palace guards appeared in the bedroom without warning, and Zhang Zhong, who was still covering Emperor Jiazheng's mouth and nose and did not draw out his dagger, felt his mind go blank.

Heavy people?

"Ah——!" Concubine Ru Gui, who was leading the crown prince, screamed, pointed at Zhang Zhong who was stunned there with her finger painted with Koudan, and shouted: "The emperor—! Someone assassinated the emperor—!" Then, she looked Seeing the body of another person whose head was divided, he almost fainted, "Father!"

Yi Zhongren flew in front of Zhang Zhong and kicked him away, Zhang Zhong collapsed on the ground with a scream.The Yizhong man supported the emperor, secretly stabbed the dagger into Emperor Jiazheng's waist, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Call the imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor!"

Emperor Jiazheng stared at Yi Zhongren, his body twitched a few times, and he swallowed unwillingly.

"Zhang Zhong! How dare you assassinate the emperor!"

Concubine Ru's scream pierced the eardrums of everyone present.Zhang Zhong actually assassinated the emperor in the emperor's bedroom, the guards were frightened to death, and immediately rushed forward without thinking about it, and chopped Zhang Zhong, who was seriously injured by Yi Zhongren, into pieces.

Emperor Jiazheng's eyes were still staring, and he was dying, and blood gushed out from his waist.He couldn't figure it out, why did he die?Why did Zhang Zhong dare to kill him?As for this question, he had to go to the underworld to think about it slowly.

※※※

Overnight, Emperor Jiazheng died, Sun Jiyu died, and Zhang Zhong died.

If Concubine Ru, who brought the crown prince to visit the emperor, hadn't come in time, I'm afraid the world would have become Zhang Zhong's.The guards of Emperor Jiazheng's bedroom were all replaced by Zhang Zhong's men before Zhang Zhong's arrival, so he was able to enter the emperor's bedroom with a dagger, but how did Sun Jiyu die?But unusually weird.

Zhang Zhong assassinated the emperor, not only Ru Guifei saw it, but even the little prince saw it with his own eyes.And Sun Jiyu's head was cut off, who else could have this ability except Yizhong who was present?

Yizhong gave an explanation.Zhang Zhong falsely accused Sun Jiyu of colluding with the King of Yue secretly, and also took out the letter Sun Jiyu wrote to the King of Yue.The emperor was furious and ordered him to kill Sun Jiyu on the spot, and Zhang Zhong used this as an excuse to get close to the emperor, and Concubine Ru saw what happened next.

Such an explanation is not without doubts, but the fact that Zhang Zhong assassinated the emperor is true, and the terrified Concubine Qin testified that it was indeed the emperor who asked Yi Zhongren to kill Sun Jiyu.

Concubine Qin was the only witness present, and her words were the strongest evidence.And everyone knows that Concubine Qin and Yi Zhongren are not at odds. Yi Zhongren belongs to Concubine Ru, and Concubine Qin is the emperor's favorite concubine. Concubine Qin has no reason to speak for Yi Zhongren, so what she said should be the truth.I didn't expect Zhang Zhong to be so vicious.

The Yizhong people took Zhang Zhong's Dugong badge and rushed to the base camp of Shanghai Anwei.

Concubine Ru quickly calmed down, ordered the news to be blocked, and summoned several important officials in the court to enter the palace in the name of the prince.

The prince is only nine years old this year. In the name of the prince... the ministers who were summoned immediately sensed something strange and immediately entered the palace.

That night, people in the palace were panic-stricken, and a big purge swept the palace and the capital before the news of Emperor Jiazheng's assassination and death spread.

Ten days later, the news of the emperor's funeral came out.Zhang Zhong assassinated the emperor, Sun Jiyu was framed and killed by Zhang Zhong, and Yizhong, a thousand households of Shanghai Anwei, took Zhang Zhong and kept the crown prince safe at the critical moment.

Although the Yizhong people killed Sun Jiyu, he acted according to orders, and no one could blame him, but Zhang Zhong could only be blamed for being too vicious.

The emperor passed away suddenly, the young prince ascended the throne in danger, Concubine Ru, who was promoted to empress dowager, listened to the government behind the curtain, and Yi Zhongren became the governor of Shanghai Anwei.Before the new envoy was elected, the Yizhong people took charge of the imperial guards.

Yi Zhongren is the new emperor's savior and the empress dowager's confidant, and now he holds great power, comparable to Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu back then.

The ministers in the imperial court who were still trying to find a way to fight against Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu suddenly stopped talking. The ruthlessness of the Yizhong people was different from Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu, but they were more frightening than them.

Many people thought that the bloody storm was coming again, and they didn't know who would be the first minister to be stabbed by Yi Zhongren, and everyone was in danger for a while.

※※※

"Chongren, do you really want to go in person? It's just a magic stick, it doesn't matter who you send?"

In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Empress Ru reluctantly held Yi Zhongren's hand.

Her son ascended the throne smoothly, and she became the Empress Dowager. If it wasn't for Yizhong, she still doesn't know when she will get all these.The Empress Dowager Ru didn't feel the sadness of her father's passing away at all, and now she trusts Yizhong the most.

Empress Dowager Ren Ru from Yizhong held his hand, frowned and said: "Sima Xian can be a magic stick who responds to everyone, and his own strength must be good. All the people sent by the slaves to assassinate him have never returned, or they are around him. There is an expert, or his kung fu is extremely high.

"My lady, now we have the king of Yue in the north and Sima Xian in the south, and the emperor has just ascended the throne. If one of them can be killed, it will greatly boost the morale of the imperial court to defend against the enemy. The king of Yue is now defeated by the 30 army of the Kun Kingdom and the 20 army of the imperial court." It's not a serious problem for the time being, but the sooner this "Tianjin Cult" is eliminated, the better, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"If Sima Xian is killed, the Heavenly God Sect will be in chaos, and the imperial court can take the opportunity to eradicate it and relieve the pressure on the imperial court. In addition, Kun Kingdom is willing to send troops for the sake of our four cities. Now that the late emperor is buried, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen." Even if there are no mistakes, the empress is willing to cede the four cities?"

Empress Dowager Ru's expression was stern: "Kun Guo took advantage of the danger, and when King Yue and that magic stick are dealt with, the Ai family will definitely take them down! The Ai family will never allow anyone to threaten the emperor's position."

"So, the slave must come forward."

Empress Dowager Ru immediately worried and said: "You go alone, Ai's family is not at ease, you should bring more people." It was already agreed.

Yi Zhong said humanely: "The servant will make perfect arrangements."

"You're gone, what about Shanghai Anwei and Yu Qinwei? The Ai family doesn't believe any of those people."

"The slave must have a suitable candidate before he dares to leave the empress. On the side of Huanwei, the empress can rest assured to hand over to the newly promoted eunuch Guo An, who is cautious and used to be the head of Huanwei."

"As for the imperial guards, your mother might as well choose one from your own family. I remember that my mother has a cousin named Zhuang Ye. This person is considered a side branch. His parents died early and he has no brothers. He is the general manager of the military camp. If he is promoted to be the envoy of the imperial guard, he will definitely be grateful to his mother and obey her words. The most important thing is that he is a side branch, and he has nothing to do with the family, so he can avoid being difficult to control in the future."

Empress Dowager Ru snuggled into Yi Zhongren's arms, and said emotionally: "It's better for you to be thoughtful. If everyone around me can be like you, it would be great to always think about me. Zhongren, if you are not Eunuch, I will ask the emperor to make you prime minister immediately."

A cold light flashed in Yi Zhongren's eyes, and his tone was a little gentle: "The slave does these things for the empress, not to get any benefits from the empress, the empress should know the heart of the slave."

Empress Dowager Ru's heart moved, and she hugged Yi Zhongren.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful in everything after the servant leaves."

"Don't worry, I'm not those little sluts who only want to be petted by men, so they're not so easy to bully." The Empress Dowager Ru changed her tone, and asked extremely viciously: "Where's that little slut, Concubine Qin? Promise the Ai family to vent their anger on the Ai family's behalf."

"Is the empress still not trusting the slave? If she falls into the hands of the slave, the slave will only make her unable to live or die."

Concubine Ru smiled: "I know that it is most suitable to entrust her to you."

Yi Zhongren hooked the corner of his mouth.
