[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

Shouxian Palace.

Daji was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, allowing Gun Don to change her clothes and make up for her.

Gun Zun pulled up her black hair like a dark cloud, and brushed her fingers over a row of gorgeous hairpins in the wooden tray.They were all newly bestowed by King Zhou, and they are extremely luxurious, except for pearls and gems, they are also gold and emeralds, reflecting a dazzling array of lights.

She finally picked up the peach blossoms in a vase beside her and asked, "Your Majesty, should I use this one?"

Daji hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Put it on the hairpin."

Ever since she bid farewell at the Changting Pavilion and made a plan to communicate with Shang Rong, Daji has never been to Wa Palace again, and even the contact jade talisman that Nuwa gave her was just left motionless—— She intended to assassinate King Zhou, so the empress sent Caiyun virgin, which shows that the empress should protect King Zhou.

She is good at making ideas, and the empress probably won't be happy.

Daji thought, if this happened before, she would never dare to displease the empress.

But now she has been to the Imperial Palace a lot, and by observing the words and expressions, she guessed that the empress also has her own difficulties. In addition, she has received the teaching of the empress, although her love for the empress has not diminished at all, but after all, she has lost a bit of awe and is closer. some.

As for the situation between North Korea and China, she is not very worried.

That day when Changting saw her off, she specially said those words to Shang Rong.The concubine's guess cannot be wrong, Shang Rong must want to assist the crown prince to ascend to the throne; and the crown prince is the son of the queen, if Shang Rong and the crown prince fight outside the palace, King Zhou will also attack the queen in the palace.

She took the initiative to protect the Queen Zhou Quan, and even held back King Zhou. It was impossible for Shang Rong not to accept this kindness.

At the last parting, she stuffed a ball of paper into Shang Rong's sleeve.

If the business capacity is opened, you will see a sentence.

"—King Zhou listened to the villain's slander and harmed my father. I hope that the prime minister will succeed in the future and leave a head. I will dedicate it to my father as a filial piety."

Everyone knows that Su Hu sacrificed her daughter. When Daji went to Jizhou, Su Hu had already been cornered and was about to commit suicide with a sword.

It is normal for Su Hu's daughter to enter the palace with resentment in her heart.

Prime Minister Shang is a smart person, so it is impossible not to understand what she means: Daji's move is not only to tell Shang Rong why she wants to rebel, so as to avoid mutual suspicion; Evidence, so that his heart is at ease; I still remind Shang Rong that if necessary, he can go to Jizhou Hou Suhu for help.

——Her technique of manipulating power was taught by Empress Nuwa herself.

Now, it has been two months since the day of Changting.

Daji originally thought that since Shang Rong left Chaoge and headed east, the matter of usurping the throne would have to wait a few years at least.

However, in the past two months, there have been news from the court that although Prime Minister Shang has retired, he is still on good terms with his old friends, and his disciples and disciples still regard him as their teacher, and they have a close relationship. It seems that they are planning something. King Zhou who kept secrets and did not ask about political affairs.

Daji was thinking like this, and then heard the maid come to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is coming down to pay your respects to Your Majesty."

The crown prince is born of the empress, and Daji has been favored by the empress recently, threatening the empress' status. In the eyes of the palace people, her Shouxian Palace and the empress's middle palace are not in harmony, so it is reasonable for the crown prince Yin Jiao to come to pay her respects , but it is a very strange thing.

Daji immediately thought of Shang Rong.

She asked the maid to entertain her well, and after dressing up, she brought Gun to donate to the front hall.

She saw Yin Jiao at first sight.

Yin Jiao was sitting primly, while Wen Wen was quietly drinking the tea served by the maid.

He was only 14 years old, and looked about the same age as Bixia from Wa Palace. Even wearing the prince's robe, he didn't show much power. He was very pale and weak, so Daji had no doubt that Shang Rong could easily control this young man.

Yin Jiao also saw her coming out, so he got up immediately, knelt down to pay her respects and said, "Concubine Su."

Daji was supported by Gun to sit down, looked at the prince up and down, appraised the young man in her heart, and then said softly and softly: "Please, Your Highness, why are you free to come to Shouxian Palace today?"

Yin Jiao got up under the service of the court lady, stood in front of Daji, but still lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at her, and said: "Concubine Su, the queen mother has a treasure presented by Dong Bohou, and she wants to invite Su The mother and concubine are watching together, I wonder if Su mother and concubine are free on the second night of next month?"

Daji understood.

Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the inner palace, the prince is passing the news on behalf of Shang.

The second night of next month is the time Shang Rong agreed with her.

In Shang Rong's plan, the most important step is to support the crown prince. Now that the crown prince has personally paid his respects to Shouxian Palace and said this to her, it must be Shang Rong who told her through the crown prince's mouth that the crown prince has joined their plans.

King Zhou was greedy for pleasure, he didn't even bother with government affairs, and he was even more negligent in disciplining the prince.

Yin Jiao was young, and he was closer to his teacher, Shang Rong, than he was to his father, King Zhou.

It is probably not difficult for Shang Rong to persuade Yin Jiao.

Daji put the teacup on the small table beside her, stared at the prince in front of her, then smiled wanly, and said, "The empress invites you, of course there are. But your highness is getting more and more handsome now. I heard that your highness is diligent in his homework. Gu Xiaojin must be a generation of Mingjun."

Yin Jiao's face turned pale again, apparently understanding what she meant.

His head lowered, and he whispered: "Concubine Su's mother praises you a lot."

……

……

Daji knows that Shang Rong must have a comprehensive plan. Shang Rong has a deep foundation in the court, has countless disciples, and is an inseparable friend with Huang Feihu. It's just that Shang Rong is sophisticated and scheming, so there is no need to tell her all these.

Although Shang Rong didn't say anything, she could probably guess based on the information obtained by the palace guards.

Among the courtiers of King Zhou, Wen Taishi and Wu Cheng Wang had one article and one martial arts, and they were called Shuangbi; now that the Taishi expedition to the North Sea, only Huang Feihu remained in the court; Shang Rong and Huang Feihu had always been friends Well, I will not miss this opportunity.

However, the Huang family has been loyal and good for generations, and Huang Feihu is even more loyal to King Zhou, and will never agree to such disobedient things.

——The one flirting with Shang Rong was another general under Huang Feihu's command, named Zhou Ji.

In the palace, Empress Jiang was Yin Jiao's birth mother after all, and Yin Jiao was young, and her work was a little green, but Empress Jiang noticed the rumors.

Fortunately, Daji happened to come to greet the queen at that time.

After paying her respects, she was staying in the garden with Gun Tun for a walk, when she saw Yin Jiao rushing in with a pale complexion, she also forgot to greet her, and said directly: "Concubine Su, please go to the Central Palace as soon as possible. ...she's suspicious."

Daji looked back abruptly.

Yin Jiao looked panic-stricken, and said again: "The queen mother insists on dragging me to plead guilty to the king, and also wants to ask for an order to arrest the teacher... Concubine Su, go and persuade her!"

Daji immediately followed him back to the palace.

She shunned the palace people and met the queen alone.

The queen was stunned when she saw her, "You..."

"Your Majesty." The situation was urgent, and Daji said directly: "Even though Your Majesty is now the Empress, if His Highness succeeds in his filial piety, he will naturally regard Your Majesty as the Empress Dowager and serve her knees. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than now?"

The queen reprimanded with a cold face: "This palace is a person who disregards ethics for the sake of power!"

Daji saw that the lure was ineffective, so she changed her method: "This matter is done. If my mother insists on telling the king, she will only kill many people. Now the king has seen the appearance of the king; His highness is also dedicated to the country. , for the sake of all the people, don’t you think that the empress does not want a wise king to emerge from this world?”

The queen was so angry that she was going crazy.

She was sitting, and in anger, she clenched her clothes tightly with her hands on her knees, "As a wife, how can you say that your husband's family is wrong! The affairs of the world are for the king and courtiers to worry about. You are in the harem, and it is only right for you to meddle in political affairs." How dare you disrespect your ancestors?!"

Daji:"……"

She had no choice but to use the last trick, "Your Majesty, if the king knows, the two highnesses will definitely not escape the death penalty, even the empress and Lord Dong Bohou will also be implicated. Your highnesses are just young, smart and handsome, and Jiang Houye has been a soldier all his life. After many years of fighting and being loyal to the country, this is the reason why I am so happy and enjoy the rest of my life, can the empress bear it?"

The Queen finally stopped talking.

Daji worked as a lobbyist in the queen's palace for a long time, analyzed her interests with her, moved her emotionally, and used some small spells to disturb the mind, and finally appeased the queen. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Yin Jiao, sir. Communicate with the inner palace.

Since then, Daji has kept her heart.

She was extremely favored in front of King Zhou, but she never used her favor to embarrass other concubines. In addition to her good looks, many people in the palace were willing to run for her, and if they wanted to listen, they could not hide any trouble from her eyes and ears.

Fortunately, nothing happened for many days.

However, at the end of this month, King Zhou suddenly sent an order calling her to the middle palace.

When Daji saw the edict, she saw the word "Zhonggong" and thought of the queen, and already had a bad feeling.

She first sent Gun Don to the Prince's side to deal with the situation, and then specially dressed and changed her clothes to show her best soft and charming appearance. After everything was ready, she drove to the middle palace.

As soon as she went to the hall, before Daji could figure out the situation, she felt a depressing silence rushing towards her face.

King Zhou sat in the middle with a gloomy and angry face.

At this time, he was surrounded by armored soldiers, and it was rare for him to have a bit of the power of the emperor. When he saw Daji, his face turned pale, and he embraced her to his side, but he obviously had no intention of coaxing her. Vase, looking coldly at his feet.

Kneeling at his feet was a military general, his rank was not high, Daji had only met him once at the banquet, and he remembered that his name was Yin Ruibai, he was a subordinate of Wucheng King Huang Feihu, and a student of Shang Rong.

And, the one kneeling beside Yin Ruibai - the queen.

The queen was well dressed, and her appearance was as noble and dignified as the mistress of a country, but at this moment she just bowed her head and knelt on the ground at King Zhou's feet.

Her face was pale, and her figure was much thinner than the last time Daji saw her. It can be seen that these days, this recognized virtuous woman has suffered a lot between her husband and son.

"Yin Aiqing entered the palace today and told the widow one thing." King Zhou looked at his wife without the slightest sympathy, and said, "He said that some people are ready to move in the past few days. It is related to Dong Bohou. Yu Wife, in your opinion, what is the use of this soldier talisman in Chaoge City?"

Daji's heart sank, as if she had been immersed in ice water.

Looking at Yin Ruibai and the queen who were kneeling in front of them, they already understood everything.

Yin Ruibai is under the command of King Wucheng and a disciple of Shang Rong. Even if Shang Rong deliberately conceals the truth, it is not difficult for him to report to King Zhou when he hears some news; more likely, Shang Rong once trusted him as a disciple and invited him He discussed a big plan together, but he turned around and sold it to King Zhou.

But since King Zhou still allowed her to sit by his side, Yin Ruibai probably didn't know much about it.

At least she colluded with Shang Rong, and King Zhou didn't know about it.

Daji speculates that Yin Libai should know that someone intends to rebel and is related to the power of the descendants, but he doesn't know the details.

Therefore, King Zhou came to Zhonggong first, instead of ordering to arrest Yinjiao Shangrong and others.

And the empress... After discovering Yin Jiao and Shang Rong's plan that day, the empress planned to come to plead guilty to King Zhou, but it was Daji who persuaded her for a while, saying that once King Zhou knew about it, regardless of Shang Rong's situation, Yin Hong's fate would be destroyed. Naturally, her life is at stake, and her father, Dong Bohou, must also be implicated. The queen was concerned about the safety of her relatives, so she agreed to cover up.

But after all, Empress Jiang has a reputation for being virtuous and virtuous. King Zhou is the king of a country and her husband, so she absolutely dare not give birth to two hearts.

That day in the East Palace, she should have killed the queen directly, Daji thought.

There are many people involved in the rebellion, once the matter is defeated, there must be a lot of heads hanging outside Chaoge City, and the corpses will pile up into mountains.

The three most vicious heads in it are probably Yin Jiao Shangrong and herself.

Sure enough, upon hearing King Zhou's question, Empress Jiang's body trembled undetectably, and then said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, the military talisman involves many people, and this matter must be clearly investigated. As for the father of the concubine..."

"Of course I know!" King Zhou interrupted impatiently, "You are the one who is asking! According to what Yin Aiqing said, no matter who did the military talisman, it has nothing to do with you. What else can you say?" !"

Empress Jiang prostrated herself on the ground, her reverence for King Zhou became more obvious, and her voice trembled: "The concubine dare not lie to the king, and the concubine did not know about this matter, but a few days ago, seeing His Royal Highness and the Prince business--"

"Your Majesty."

Before the queen finished speaking, Daji interrupted her from the side, leaning into King Zhou's arms.

Her voice was melodious, and she said in a gentle voice: "My lord, please calm down. This wine is newly delivered by the imperial dining room. How about a cup?"

As he spoke, he picked up the jug, with his slender wrists, and filled a glass of wine in front of King Zhou.

King Zhou glanced at her.

He was interrogating the queen when he was suddenly interrupted. He was quite displeased at first, but seeing Daji's skin as frosty and snowy, her red lips soft and charming, her eyes rolling, and looking at him with admiration and dependence wholeheartedly, the displeasure disappeared, and she picked up the beauty. The offered wine glass was drank in one gulp.

Seeing him drinking, Daji smiled softly, his eyes became more and more blurred, as if covered by a layer of mist, "Your majesty is so powerful, those disturbing people, what's there to judge, just kill them directly, the king might as well be with you." Concubine..."

Her voice dropped.

King Zhou was aroused by her, and regardless of whether it was in front of the queen and foreign ministers, he gradually put his arms around her.

During the intimacy, Daji's belt was loosened by King Zhou.

She tilted her head and picked up the corner of the belt, pulled the whole white silk that bound the clothes, and spat it into the palm of King Zhou.

——From the moment the belt was undone, the way King Zhou looked at her changed.

"Your Majesty." Daji seemed unaware of King Zhou's thoughts, and her whole body almost turned into spring water in a peach blossom pool, her voice was melodious, "Since your majesty said that the queen is unfaithful, then the majesty thinks that this white silk is bestowed on the queen. , does it fit?"
