In order to avenge his mother and Qiu Wan, the ninth brother finally gambled with his own life and poisoned Emperor Yong. Then if you give Emperor Yong some time, you will definitely be the last to be eradicated.
It is a pity that God did not give Emperor Yong more time, and his elder brother's level of governance was mediocre. If Emperor Yong had not been diligent in governing during his lifetime, he would have cleared all obstacles that hindered the concentration of imperial power. His brother is actually just a mediocre person.
What's even more ridiculous is that his brother actually still has a trace of womanly kindness towards him, if it weren't for his mother.
How could he have become a pawn on the chessboard since birth, how could he have suffered this unreasonable disaster?
Of the more than 100 people in Fengchen Palace, the Chen family was safe except for the second room, and almost all the children of the first room were killed.
And he himself has also been reduced from the originally glorious prince to a prisoner waiting to be punished.
There is so much hatred between them. Ever since his father killed without leaving any room for retreat, this grudge has been difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and it is even more difficult to resolve.
It was ridiculous that Su Zhirou was so naive back then that she actually thought that she was the young prince who ignored worldly matters and actually took the initiative to intercede on her behalf. His elder brother was even more naive. In order to please his beloved, he not only removed himself from the clan's mansion, but even gave himself a fiefdom.
However, all the illusions of being a proud man were torn apart overnight. He became a prisoner and could only rely on others to survive. The death and betrayal of those close to him were not worse than death for him who was still alive. Unbearable humiliation.
Fortunately, he has always known how to be patient, and he is not truly a helpless person. In addition, he controlled and used Su Zhirou back then.
As the vassal king, he became his closest brother. Even after the other brothers were ordered not to return to the capital after they resigned from the vassal, he was still the one who could ignore the summons and return to the capital.
For this reason, those old guys who had followed his father had even criticized him, saying that Zhao Nianze was raising a tiger for trouble.
It's a pity that so what, in the end these old things didn't all end well.
He later rebelled and seized power. In fact, he did not want to hold power for a long time. He just wanted to use that power to take revenge on all those who deserved to die.
It was also because of this that he did not welcome his concubine, nor did he leave any heirs.
He knows better than anyone that the power gained through violence will not last long.
People who hold an unfair position will sooner or later become a target and become the target of everyone.
After all, everyone wants power and position, and an unfair target can vindicate the name of an ambitious person.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that the other brothers would use even worse methods than him to compete for the throne. In the chaos, some people would even collude with the already ambitious Qiangmo tribe in order to seize the throne.
And that was the beginning of the troubled times.
Although he is a person who must retaliate against evil, he also understands the suffering of the people who prosper and the suffering of the people who die.
Therefore, although his internal methods were cruel and his reputation was not good, under that kind of high-pressure rule, the politics and current situation at that time were still relatively clear.
At that time, as long as there was a strong opponent to overthrow him and then take over the power, it would be fine to end the chaos or continue to rule with high pressure. In fact, he would never push himself to a dead end. It is a pity that he still underestimated the deep roots of the descendants of the Zhao family. The desire for power, and the ruthlessness of doing whatever it takes to get it. .
This is probably the similarity between Jiang Nianjiao and his father. Although she didn't say she loved her, judging from her current behavior. She doesn't look like a girl who has fallen in love.
Thinking of Jiang Nianjiao chasing him all night to see him off before leaving for Yunzhou, and giving herself something that did not belong to this era, and that was just because she had a nightmare about him.
When he found out about her affection, he was actually a little touched by her.
Even though he knew that he should probably stay away from her, he still wavered for a moment.
Maybe it would be good to keep her by his side. After everything is calmed down and under control, no matter what Jiang Nianjiao chooses, he will keep her by his side and share the world with her.
It's a pity that now it seems that what she can give to herself can also be given to others. And maybe because of the existence that coexists with her,
I am afraid that my meaning to her is just to fulfill the existence of Su Zhirou and Zhao Nianze.
After all, from the perspective of Zhao Nianze's interests, he is a roadblock and a villain. What he wants now is not only to protect the safety of Fengchen Palace, but also to bring peace to the world.
And if he continues to follow the old path of the past, not taking the initiative to fight for power and relying on others, let alone the safety of Fengchen Palace, he may not be able to protect himself.
Therefore, he must legitimately win the world.
And since you want to fight for this right, it must be a life-and-death struggle.
He had already been stabbed in the back by his own father in his previous life.
Now, if he was stabbed in the back by a woman again, wouldn't it be tragic and ridiculous?
Zhao Yanzhen felt irritated when he thought that Jiang Nianjiao was on the opposite side of him.
And the crystal that was originally ironed and placed inside the clothes seemed to have become an obstruction at this moment.
He felt a slight congestion in his heart, and at this moment, he impatiently pulled the crystal pendant from his neck.
His voice also seemed extremely cold at this moment. At this moment, the secret guard kneeling below, waiting for instructions, could even feel the murderous intention of the person above him at this moment.
"If she interferes in Prince Liang's affairs again, let someone deal with her directly."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, even the guard couldn't help but be surprised by Zhao Yanzhen's decision.
After all, Zhao Yanzhen had a soft spot for Jiang Nianjiao at the beginning, and for this reason, he even fought for her love, causing rumors that Jiang Nianjiao's marriage was ruined.
Although Zhao Yanzhen was hypocritical, he could actually see some sincerity and affection when getting along with the Miss Jiang family.
After all, he treated Jiang Nianjiao differently.
I just didn't expect that such deep love could be abandoned at any time.
As expected, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Emperor Yong are truly father and son, and they are willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of the throne.
However, although he cursed in his heart, the secret guard still whispered yes after receiving the order.
After all, all he wanted was an invincible master.
Zhao Yanzhen's ruthlessness made him invincible, so his personal ethics were not of concern to the secret guards.
Then the secret guard only asked in a low voice, "Do other tasks need to be adjusted?"
Zhao Yanzhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Except for observing the movements of the Xu Mansion and Prince Liang's Mansion, and taking action when necessary, there is no need to adjust other plans for the time being."
After receiving Zhao Yanzhen's arrangement, the secret guard agreed and prepared to exit the camp and send the news to the Ninth Prince who was far away in Shangjing.
And when he was about to leave, Zhao Yanzhen was only prepared to smash the pendant that Jiang Nianjiao left for him.
But when he really came up with this idea, he just felt that it was really difficult to let go.
Anyway, she must have been sincere to him at least once or twice, right? Moreover, she could have stayed out of the matter and just picked her out, so why did she have to put her to death?
And as long as he stays away from her and is wary of her, he may no longer be the one who is pushed into the cliff again and again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nianze suddenly said to the secret guard who was about to leave, "Don't leave yet."
Hearing this, the secret guard could only turn around again.
Zhao Yanzhen said softly, "There is no need to carry out the task just now."
The secret guard asked in confusion, "I wonder which one your Highness is talking about."
Zhao Yanzhen coughed slightly uncomfortably, and then whispered: "Han Jiao...cough...Jiang Nianjiao, let's keep her alive for now. After all, now is the critical time for the fall of the Chen family. Jiu Di and Feng Chen Gong Jue" There must not be any clue to fall into the hands of my father."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's obviously contradictory words, the secret guard only cursed in his heart. Now the Ninth Prince and the manpower arranged by you yourself are also active in the capital. You are not worried about being exposed in this matter. Why are you so worried about Miss Jiang's accident? I am worried that I have been exposed, and even if I really kill the Jiang family lady, no one will suspect Zhao Yanzhen.
After all, not to mention that he is thousands of miles away, but also because of the rumors of their deep love and Jiang Xiang's status, it is difficult for people to infer that Zhao Yanzhen was the one who made the move, either emotionally or rationally. .
but
He slandered himself, but since Zhao Yanzhen gave the order, he still obeyed it honestly. But out of concern for his brother, he still raised his concerns.
"But Your Highness, if we leave Miss Jiang alone, and if she takes action like this time, won't our plan be in pieces?" the secret guard whispered.
Zhao Yanzhen nodded when he heard this, "Your worries are not unreasonable. Others in the capital are performing other tasks at this time but they can't keep their hands away."
Then he pondered for a moment and said, "You go inform Ziqing and ask him to come to the capital with you tonight. Then you arrange for him to monitor Jiang Nianjiao's every move, mainly to prevent her from interfering in the actions of Prince Liang's Mansion. As for other matters, he is not allowed to do so." He can't intervene, let alone reveal his identity. Even if it's my cousin, it depends on his choice whether he can rape the Yan family in the future."
After listening to Zhao Yanzhen's words, the guard was still worried and said, "But your highness's safety and the work of persuading General Chen will be feasible without Ziqing's personal explanation?"
"To deal with ordinary thieves, the personal guards in the army are enough. If the Qiang desert people attack, there will be an army. There is also Mr. Jing who was personally arranged by my father. Before I made a clear move, Mr. Jing must have least wanted anything to happen to me. People." Zhao Yanzhen said with a hint of sarcasm.
"As for General Chen, I have other ways to make him willing to cooperate with me."
Seeing that Zhao Yanzhen had already thought of countermeasures for what he was worried about, the secret guard naturally stopped talking.
After the secret guard left, Zhao Yanzhen only held the crystal pendant that he was about to smash into pieces again in his hands.
