Huaqing Palace, the imperial concubine Chen's bedroom.
Liang Zhen walked up the steps, and before entering the door, the leader of the imperial guards who was ordered to stay behind reported to him in a low voice: "A few days ago, my mother has been yelling to go out, and her mouth is... a little dirty, but it has subsided in the past two days. , people look foolishly, laughing and crying for a while... "
A look of disdain flashed across Liang Zhen's eyes, and he pushed the door open and went inside.
Concubine Chen sat on the ground with her hair disheveled and her knees hugged. There was still no trace of her formerly gorgeous demeanor. Liang Zhen looked at her coldly, remembering the sentence she said when she insisted on entering the palace that day, "Everyone in the family said that my second uncle and I Looks alike, even if I am a woman, Your Majesty will like it." His expression became colder.
Concubine Chen slowly raised her head when she heard the sound, she was stunned for a moment when she met Liang Zhen's cold gaze, and sneered with the corners of her mouth open: "When will King Zhao plan to put me under house arrest? Why did His Majesty die? I don't even have the funeral can not go?"
"The late emperor passed away, and the imperial concubine was so sad that she couldn't afford to stay on the couch, so she couldn't keep up with the late emperor." Liang Zhen's voice was light, he paused, and then continued, "The empress is all thinking about the late emperor, and she has no interest in life, so she will be with the late emperor." went."
Concubine Chen was stunned, her whole body trembled, her grief and indignation were abnormal: "You want to kill me, but you actually want to kill me... Then what kind of tea did Zhu Yunxuan pour you into?! You took Qiong'er's throne for him, and now you still don't know what to do." You want to kill us! We clearly agreed at the beginning, you and I are both surnamed Liang, wouldn’t it be good for you to be the regent?! Why would you do this kind of thing that hurts others and benefits yourself?!"
Liang Zhen didn't take it seriously: "Your Majesty is wrong. You are the only one who is going to die. His Highness Ninth Prince is still a child. What can he know? You poisoned the incense used by the late Emperor, which caused the late Emperor to be sick for a long time. You still want me to continue talking." ?"
Concubine Chen's teeth were trembling, and she stared at Liang Zhen: "You knew it a long time ago, you obviously acquiesced, you..."
"How could I have known?" Liang Zhen interrupted her bluntly, and reminded in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, you also know that you are the Liang family, so as to prevent the Liang family from being wiped out because of you. , let’s get on the road obediently.”
Concubine Chen's eyes were red, and she wished she could pounce on Liang Zhen and tear Liang Zhen up, and suddenly she laughed again: "For the Liang family? Hahaha, you don't care about the Liang family at all, even if the Liang family is dead, you won't blink any more." Take a look, why don't you just tell this matter in public, so that the emperor Zhu Yunxuan can be more justified? You are not for the Liang family at all! You just want everyone in the world to question Zhu Yunxuan's improper position, so that he can only rely on you You kept Qionger to keep reminding him of this! I thought the relationship between you and him was so indestructible. Would it be interesting for you to help him with all your might and be so wary of him?! If my Qionger sat on After taking that position, what’s wrong with having the world in your hands?!”
Liang Zhen smiled contemptuously: "You are not stupid, but you are still thinking wrong. If I really want this world, what if I sit in this Zhu family's country? This position was prepared for me by the late emperor, your son It's just a puppet left to me by him. You know it well but still dream of the Queen Mother without hesitation. Originally, I can indeed make your wish come true, but you are unlucky. Compared with controlling the government, now someone Some people and things are more interesting to me, so I naturally follow my own sexuality."
"You crazy!"
The word "casualty" was the whole reason why he stirred up the wind and rain, Chen Guifei cursed hysterically, but she didn't know whether it was Liang Zhen or her who was crazy.
Liang Zhen looked at her indifferently: "When you are about to die, you should stop shouting a few words to save your energy. After all, Zhu Yunqiong was born by you. If you die, he can still live. If you insist on dragging him to die, I will die too." I don’t mind sending you on the road together.”
Concubine Chen slumped and closed her eyes in pain.
Ganlin Palace.
Three days later, the enthronement ceremony will be held. The officials of the Ministry of Rituals are reporting the procedures and matters of the ceremony with Zhu Yunxuan. Zhu Yunxuan listened quietly and did not say much. Liang Zhen came in, stood still, did not interrupt them, and listened with great interest. Those officials from the Ministry of Rituals were all fearful, and they were more careful with Liang Zhen than Zhu Yunxuan, and their words were also more cautious.
Halfway through the hearing, Liang Zhen suddenly spoke out and asked: "In the ceremonies of the enthronement of the emperors of all dynasties in my dynasty, the first and auxiliary ministers held out the enthronement edict and presented it to the new emperor. Zhang Nianling has now been executed for treason. This link What are you going to do?"
Yan Shixue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, replied cautiously: "The ministers and others tentatively decide that Mr. Liu Ge will take care of this matter on his behalf. Your Majesty will have to decide whether it is feasible."
This Mr. Liu Ge is the highest-ranking minister among the only remaining ministers in the cabinet. He bowed his head first that day, and there was room for things to turn around. In the end, everyone recognized Zhu Yunxuan as the new monarch. It stands to reason It should be his turn to say that Zhang Nianling and others have turned their backs, not to mention that he has made a contribution to supporting the new king, but...
Zhu Yunxuan quietly made a decision: "Let's follow the old rules of the previous dynasty and let the officials of the Ministry of Rites do it for you. You can do it for Yan Qing."
Yan Shixue was distracted, suppressed his excitement, and asked hesitantly: "But there is no such case in our dynasty. The cabinet ministers have always been responsible for this important task. Is it against the rules for the ministers to do it?"
"It's okay, just you."
Yan Shixue no longer refused, and responded loudly: "The minister accepts the decree!"
Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes lightly, a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.
The officials who were waiting to play all retreated, Liang Zhen looked at Zhu Yunxuan, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty intends to praise this Lord Yan?"
Zhu Yunxuan said calmly: "The cabinet is empty and urgently needs new people to fill it. Yan Shixue is the official book of the Ministry of Rites, so joining the cabinet is a matter of course."
Liang Zhen smiled meaningfully: "Really? Why didn't Your Majesty say that he is also the father of your fiancée and the future head of state?"
As early as more than four years ago, when Zhu Yunxuan was named King Rui, Zhu Yunxuan had already obtained the finger marriage. Emperor Zhaoyang pointed him to the daughter of Yan Shixue. Originally, Zhu Yunxuan should have gotten married a long time ago, but first the little lady's mother died, and then Emperor Zhaoyang's biological mother, Empress Dowager Qingren, died. After delays, Emperor Zhaoyang didn't care about his affairs. It was delayed.
Zhu Yunxuan lowered his gaze: "So what?"
"Not at all." Liang Zhen withdrew the smile from the corner of his mouth, and looked straight at him, "I just want to remind Your Majesty not to place too much emphasis on your relatives, so as not to cause disasters in the future."
"King Zhao is too worried," Zhu Yunxuan said coldly, "These should not be things that King Zhao needs to think about."
How could he not know that it is not a good thing for a foreign relative to be powerful, and the Xie family is a shining example. Back then, Xie Guogong was so bold and reckless, and caused so many disasters, but what can he do? Those left in the cabinet today, all of them Can he believe that he has no connection with the person in front of him? Can you believe it? Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people does he have available
The four eyes met, and there was no need to hide the suspicion and temptation in each other's eyes. After a brief stalemate, Liang Zhen shook his head: "Your Majesty really cares about your ministers like this?"
"Where did you go?"
Liang Zhen replied calmly: "Huaqing Palace."
Zhu Yunxuan's pupils narrowed slightly: "How is Concubine Chen?"
"The imperial concubine misses the late emperor too much, and is tired of the world, so she has asked herself to be buried."
"Where's the ninth brother?"
"His Highness the Ninth Prince is naturally happy to stay in his bedroom, but the child is too young and has been frightened, so it's not a big deal." Liang Zhen's eyes were gloomy, and his smile was half a smile, with no deep meaning in it.
Zhu Yunxuan suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and asked him: "How do you want people to think of you if you act like this?"
Liang Zhen gave a "tsk" sound: "What kind of style? Does your majesty still want to kill his brother? How could I not know that your majesty is such a cruel and merciless person?"
"You don't have to pretend to be with me! You kept Zhu Yunqiong just to threaten me, why do you have to say it so nicely?!"
Liang Zhen took a step forward, raised his hand suddenly, and pulled Zhu Yunxuan to him by the waist.
Zhu Yunxuan panicked for a moment, stared at him angrily, and said word by word: "Let go, let go, I."
Liang Zhen leaned close to Zhu Yunxuan's ear, and murmured in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so you plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
There was no one else in the hall, and Gao An had led all the people to retreat as early as when they had a dispute, Zhu Yunxuan sneered with red eyes: "Liang Zhen, do you think you can still force me now? I will never be satisfied again Your dirty thoughts!"
"What do you think your majesty wants to do?"
A chuckle burst into Zhu Yunxuan's ears, and with the hot breath that made his hair stand on end, after a pause, Liang Zhen said again: "Your Majesty does not want a minister and who does he want? The daughter of the Yan family? Your Majesty is like this now, Are you satisfied with that little lady?"
"You are presumptuous!"
Zhu Yunxuan was pressed between the imperial case behind him and Liang Zhen's arms, unable to advance or retreat, trembling with anger, Liang Zhen's body was pushed forward, and the hands on his waist slowly rubbed and pressed. , the technique is particularly ambiguous and erotic.
Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes, and said coldly: "There are clansmen and courtiers who came to mourn in the front hall. If you insist on doing this, I will immediately call everyone over to have a look. , it is not as good as a treasonous thing to do this beast to my new king."
"Your Majesty can really give up his face to do such a thing?"
"If you don't believe me, try it!"
Liang Zhen's laughter grew stronger: "Your Majesty has become the emperor now, and his temper has gradually grown."
Zhu Yunxuan repeated again: "Let go of me."
Liang Zhen turned his head sideways, and imprinted a feather-light kiss on Zhu Yunxuan's hair on the sideburns. Without waiting for him to get angry, he backed away, and stood aside respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, His Highness the Ninth Prince must stay behind at this time." Otherwise, it will be more difficult to block the mouth of Youyou in this world."
Zhu Yunxuan looked at him coldly: "Are you still afraid of this long talk?"
"The minister is thinking of His Majesty."
"Ah."
Liang Zhen smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty, why do you bother to treat me like a scourge? Since I said that I will help you, I will help you naturally. Why don't you believe it?"
Zhu Yunxuan was slightly startled, and looked away: "I'm tired, King Zhao should step down."
