Chapter 384 Chapter 384: The dust has settled [2-in-1]
Silence!
Stupefied!
The ministers really did not expect that things would develop like this. They thought that no matter how rebellious Zhai Huan was, the most he could do was put the king under house arrest - those who knew a little bit about Zhai Huan's grudges with the royal family could at most make second guesses. Zhai Huan will use this as a blackmail to ask the king to order Shu Ji to be killed and take revenge - this is the worst situation they can imagine, but, but -
My uncle obeyed Zhai Huan's order to kill her. nephew.
This was far beyond their imagination. At this time, an old man with white hair and beard got up from the mat in anger, waved away the knife on his neck, and shouted harshly.
"Child Zhai, do you know what you have done!"
The old man and Zhai Huan's grandfather once worked together, but Zhai Huan's grandfather was imprisoned and died during the internal struggle. Due to the plague, many Zhai clan members also suffered in that turmoil.
This old man is somewhat special. He can get along well with his relatives, eunuchs and nobles. It was through his lobbying that many Zhai clan members, including Zhai Huan's father, survived.
Zhai Huan respects this old man.
But that's all.
He said: "The boy knows it very well."
The old man angrily shouted: "Do you know what you just did?"
Zhai Huan sneered: "I know."< br>
The old man was almost heartbroken by Zhai Huan's indifferent attitude. He pointed at Zhai Huan with a livid face.
"Regicide in front of the palace, you Zhai family, from your great-grandfather to your generation, how much favor have you received in terms of food and salary?"
Zhai Huan sneered at this.
He said indifferently: "What you said is wrong. The Zhai clan has never been supported by the royal family. My clan has prospered for Shen State until now. Salaries and favors are not all based on ability and loyalty. from the royal family In exchange for it? You are worthy of the royal family, worthy of ruling the common people, and worthy of your true heart. But you are worthy of the royal family. Do you dare to say that you are worthy of the Zhai family? "
In Zhai Huan's view, the old man is just studying the words of the thief. Spiritual research is stupid. The mainland is vast, and there are so many countries like Shenguo? Shen Guo can also be replaced at any time.
The inheritance has not been passed down for fifty or sixty years, how ridiculous is it to pretend to be a dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years?
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor." Zhai Huan looked at the old man who was so angry that his blood pressure was soaring. "Although the Zhai family is not as good as before, there are still several acres of family land in the clan and there is surplus food in the granary. Shen Guo's 'Salary', is it worthy of being rare?"
Moreover -
Is he the one who killed the lord in front of the palace? His hands were not stained with such disgusting and dirty blood!
The old man and all the courtiers looked ugly, but they did not dare to act rashly. The national seal was useless in the hands of the useless king, but now it fell into the hands of Zhai Huan, one of the two talents of the Zhai family, and there were tens of thousands of elites outside the palace staring fiercely...
It really pissed people off, I'm afraid that no one in the hall will be able to leave standing upright. At this time, several courtiers who knew the inside story scolded Shuji bloody in their hearts - she was just bullying women and dominating men, but she was the most beloved sister of the king.
Most of those male favorites are those who are in favor of others. They each get what they want, and their power is supposed to harm each other.
But it’s not good to target anyone, target Zhai Huan.
Good guy, are you risking your life now?
On second thought, even if this had not happened, Shen would have been defeated by the extravagant and lustful Queen Mother, the suspicious and murderous head of the country who could not do anything, and Shuji who could not walk when she saw a man. Sooner or later, the country will be finished playing, it’s just a matter of time.
Just when the atmosphere fell into silence and stiffness again, Zhai Le, one of the protagonists of today's wedding, dressed in festive red and black, carried the eclipsed Shuji over like a chicken.
The voice was full of energy and joy.
You can hear it clearly even from a hundred steps away.
"Brother, I brought it to you!"
The frightened Shuji was dropped by Zhai Le, and her head of gorgeous pearls and gold and silver fell to the ground by inertia. She fell so hard that her knees were raw. pain. Even if she is arrogant and ignorant of government affairs, she still knows that this situation is not good. When her eyes fell on her brother lying at Zhai Huan's feet after the body was separated, she screamed in horror.
Subconsciously, she wants to call the guards to avenge her brother!
But before the words were spoken, she paled as she remembered that she and her new husband Zhai Le said goodbye to their mother and brother Wang, and took a luxurious carriage out of the palace together, heading to her extremely luxurious Prince Concubine's mansion to enjoy the sweetness of the night. Spring night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the front leg left the palace, countless soldiers wearing armor jumped out from the back leg to assassinate her. Wang Ji's guards came to protect her, but they were all shot to death by her husband Zhai Le. Until she was completely isolated and helpless, Wang Ji still could not accept the sudden change in reality.
Why is this so?
The envoy sent by Shu Ji to show off his power to Zhai Mansion was shot through the head by Zhai Le in front of her eyes.
The latter thought the corpse was in the way, so he kicked the corpse at will, hitting the corpse in the head. The corpse rolled all the way into Wang Ji's arms. Looking at the male favorite whose head was sunken and unable to recognize his original appearance, there was a loud bang in her head and everything went blank. When he came to his senses again, he was already in the temple.
The wedding banquet decorations have not yet been dispersed.
The ministers didn’t even use their chopsticks to eat the delicacies on the table.
It was very different from when she left her relatives not long ago.
So——
What happened in this short period of time!
Shu Ji barely regained some sense.
He crawled to Brother Wang's body with weak hands and feet, held his still bleeding head in his hands, held him tightly in his arms and cried in grief. The sad and sad situation was like a wild goose losing its mate.
Zhai Huan only found this situation funny and ironic.
He said: "I have heard among the people before that the former king and Shu Ji had a deep love for each other. They ate and slept together since they were young. After they became adults, they did not taboo against male and female guards. Gong E once heard that there was filth in the palace. Yisheng... Such brother-sister love is probably rare in the world."
All the courtiers in the palace said: "..."
Those who are thin-skinned can’t bear to continue listening.
After a person dies, he still needs to remember the dark history. If this period of history of the Shen Kingdom can be passed down to future generations, the reputation of these brothers and sisters may be bad for future generations. But it wasn't over yet. Zhai Huan asked coldly: "By the way, where is the Queen Mother?"
Zhai Le, the groom, felt happy.
Hands on hips, smile brighter than flowers.
Replied: "She was locked up in her palace by Gong E. Brother, do you want to see her? I will bring her."
Zhai Huan rolled his eyes at his cousin.
Why does he see the other party when he has nothing to do?
It’s just that you need a ladder to use the topic.
“It is said that the Queen Mother and her former lord mother and son had a deep love. When Shu Ji stayed outside the palace at night, her mother would usually accompany her. Voice ...Such a mother-son relationship is rare."
Zhai Le nodded and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Otherwise, the relationship between mother and son is quite good."
< br>
Zhai Huan: "..."
Manchu ministers: "..."
Zhai's double show has Zhai Huan's head on his head?
You call this a good relationship between mother and child?
For a while, the courtiers couldn't tell whether this was Zhai Le's heartfelt praise or Zhai's unique yin and yang aura. Looking closely at Zhai Le's shining eyes, the probability of the former is higher.
Shuji's crying gradually weakened.
He raised his finger and pointed at Zhai Huan, yelling at the courtiers who were sitting motionless: "Why don't you kill him? Why don't you protect the Lord with your own body? Regicide is a big crime! Why don't you kill him? I killed this treacherous traitor!”
At this time, I noticed that my uncle was also present.
She took two steps on her knees, her bloody hands unable to grasp her uncle's skirt armor, and the cold temperature of the iron piece was about to pierce her heart through the palm of her hand. She begged bitterly: "Uncle, uncle, please, please avenge Brother Wang..."
But the reply was to kick him away mercilessly.
The king's uncle frowned and looked at the counterfeit head that was so stained by blood that it was impossible to see its original appearance with disgust, with a cold look on his face.
"This is just a lowly bastard. What does it look like for you, the queen, to kneel down and beg for mercy for such a person?"
Zhai Huan lowered his head slightly and looked at the farce.
Uncontrollable speculation in my mind.
Ah Jing was threatened by the people sent by Shu Ji. How desperate and helpless must she have been at that time? Thinking of this, his heart felt an intense pain. He could only suppress it with a small frown, but the hands in his sleeves had already been clenched into fists.
Calm down a bit and continue thinking.
With Ah Jing's temperament, she would rather die standing than grovel and beg for mercy. What's more, with Shuji's temperament, she has no intention of letting Ah Jing survive.
Zhai Huan's eyes turned even colder. The courtiers were surprised by the words of the king's uncle, but they were not surprised when they thought that the other party's condition was related to Zhai Huan.
Each literary scholar’s way of being a scholar is unique. Their abilities may be similar, but they will never be the same.
Because of his grandfather, Zhai Huan was very indifferent to the royal court. Although he was old enough to serve as an official, he had no intention of joining the court, and he did not even let his family help with the operation.
He took his cousin and ran out to travel the mainland...
Therefore, except for those close to him, outsiders had no idea what his way of being a scribe was...
Unknown abilities are the most troublesome.
Shu Ji was so stimulated by the words of the king's uncle that she lost her temper on the spot.
She pulled out the dagger from her arms and stabbed Zhai Huan straight with a ferocious and twisted expression. All she could think about was revenge for Brother Wang, and she had no sense at all. But the severe pain that followed made her calm down. Her dagger didn't even touch the corner of Zhai Huan's clothes before she was kicked away mercilessly by her uncle.
She fell to the ground in pain.
My face was full of sorrow and unwillingness.
Looking at Zhai Huan who was so close but unable to kill him with red eyes, he was filled with resentment and could not vent it.
“I had known this——”
She gasped and cursed in pain.
"...Haha, I shouldn't let that woman die so easily. I should inflict all kinds of torture on her, strip her naked and throw her into the street for everyone in the world to see. What a look like your Zhai Yuewen woman!"
The ministers in the court couldn't bear to listen anymore. They did such a heinous thing and still didn't repent, and they dared to speak arrogantly.
Even they did not dare to further provoke Zhai Huan. What did Shuji think? She still thought that she would die too happily?
Zhai Huan had no expression on his face.
He said: "Originally I only planned to kill your family of three, and I didn't intend to humiliate you any more. A piece of white silk hanging from the palace door is enough. After all, you are a beast, but I am not. How did A Jing die? You have to do the same.”
But the other party is obviously not satisfied with the result.
He also showed no respect for the deceased and no regrets.
In this case, Zhai Huan would be sorry for his late wife no matter how kind he was, so he turned to ask the king's uncle.
“Did you hear that?”
The uncle of the king hesitated: "Well, after all, she is..."
Zhai Huan smiled and said: "If we don't deal with it, are we waiting for her and that person's unsightly brother-sister relationship to be 'famous in history'?"
< br>The king's uncle was cruel.
Waving to the left and right hands on standby.
“Just do it.”
Shuji's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't figure out how her uncle could be so heartless until she was picked up left and right and dragged out.
Zhai Huan was still merciful. He did not let anyone really torture Shuji, but her end was not much better.
Because the palace maid who once served Wang Ji used all the methods Wang Ji used to humiliate the palace people for fun on her.
It can be considered as repaying the other person with his own way.
Quan should seek justice for other victims.
"Use them all?"
Zhai Huan said: "Use."
If a person cannot bear it and dies, there is no need to take off his clothes. The body can be thrown directly on the street...
< br>Afterwards, he found out what happened to Shu Ji.
Those palace maids have many tricks and countless tricks.
Pricking one finger with acupuncture is considered a kind method, such as beating the three inches below the abdomen with a quilt, pulling out the prisoner's hair one by one and asking the prisoner to count. If the number is wrong, he will be slapped in the face...
Until he dies, The original appearance of the corpse was no longer visible, and this was just the basic method used by Wang Ji and the king to humiliate the palace people for fun. The former king also invented nearly a hundred different kinds of torture. The brother and sister learned from each other and improved each other.
Compared with the previous leader, Wang Ji’s methods can be considered “merciful” and “gentle”, but they are also outrageous.
Zhai Huan: "..."
Although he holds the national seal, he has no intention of replacing it now and becoming king on the spot, because this is unrealistic.
He has a limit on how long he can control the king's uncle. Once this time has passed, the other party will definitely turn their troops against him if he knows that he is being tricked. This situation is not good. This guy is not worth spending his lifespan anymore. He plans to control the troops first and then plot other things.
So——
The next exciting operation that exceeded the minister’s expectations came.
Zhai Huan proposed to make King Xun the next king of the country. Since the king was too young to take care of the government, he and several important ministers who had hatred towards each other assisted him until the king came of age and took charge.
The courtiers looked at each other.
The king's uncle was the first to refuse.
“No, how old is King Xun?”
He is still an infant and relies on his wet nurse for three meals a day.
Zhai smiled happily but said nothing. The uncle of the king came to his senses, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and agreed to the matter.
His "nephew" has just been recovered, the impostor has just died, and the government is unstable. Zhai Huan's sudden rise to power will inevitably arouse criticism from the people. In addition, what the impostor did before The outrageous events left a lot of mess. There are strong and powerful people in various parts of the Shen Kingdom who support their own troops. Now some of them are busy. It is better to wait for the situation to stabilize before making further plans...
To follow the dragon's merit, oneself is indispensable.
How can an infant be in charge of government affairs?
How to deal with it if you still don’t want to see Zhai Huan?
The king’s uncle has figured it out.
The emperor's uncle was granted a very high title and was appointed as the marshal of the army of Shen State, while the original power of guarding the capital was handed over to Zhai Le and his close associates.
Then——
The king’s uncle died on the seventh day.
Died at the hands of what he regarded as his "nephew".
The body was lost together with the Queen Mother who was frightened to death.
Zhai Le frowned slightly when he saw the promotion list on the table. Zhai Huan explained: "There are too few people available. The old foxes in the dynasty will be afraid of brother, but they will not do things for brother because of this. ”
The courtiers of the royal court practiced non-violence and non-cooperation.
Every one of them was sick and refused to go to work in the government office.
Zhai Huan could not find enough manpower to replace them. If he kills the king in front of his own palace, how can the ambitious tycoons from all over the Shen Kingdom sit still? Using the motive of "avenging the king and killing the traitors" to cause chaos, if the court is no longer stable, the situation will get out of control... Zhai Huan's revenge is true, but his desire to bring order to the chaos is also true.
He doesn't mind throwing out feed to stabilize these old foxes first.
Zhai Le was silent for a long time.
A long while.
He said: "Brother, the Xunnan Zhao family can win over them."
The Xunnan Zhao family also has many people they can use.

Let me show you a paragraph:
Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty: "Runmei Ziyi was fourteen or fifteen years old, and his mother, Concubine Zheng, slept with her, and there were filthy sounds."
So, don't be surprised, once the pervert starts to completely change, even the pervert will I think the other person is abnormal.
