"Sir, it's almost time. It's time to go to court."
A servant bowed his head respectfully, knocked on the door, and whispered.
"okay, I get it."
A gentle voice came from the room.
After a while, an elegant and handsome man wearing a blue Confucian shirt came out.
"master."
Seeing this man in Confucian shirt, the servant bowed his head respectfully.
"Um."
The man in Confucian shirt hummed, strode out of the mansion, and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, the man in Confucian shirt put on his official robe.
The carriage moved forward and headed towards the palace hall.
"The old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Some things can finally be done..."
"Speaking of which, it has been almost ten years since I came to this world..."
Zhou Zhenwen leaned on the soft cushions, smelled the faint sandalwood, looked at the scenery passing by outside the carriage, and thought silently in his heart.
In this world, he is also called Zhou Zhenwen. It is obvious that he is a time traveler.
Ten years ago, he traveled through time and became the number one scholar in the imperial examination, and was appreciated by the old emperor. He entered the Hanlin Academy, became a copywriter, and became a sixth-rank official in one step.
From that moment on, his official career officially began.
After years of hard work, he finally climbed to the position of chief minister of the cabinet step by step, becoming a powerful presence in the court. He was also the leader of the largest party in the court.
Since the members of this party usually like Tsing Yi and celadon the most, they are also called the "Tsing Yi Party" by other parties in the court.
"System, open the data panel."
Zhou Zhenwen's heart moved and she opened the data panel.
In an instant, an aqua blue screen appeared in front of Zhou Zhenwen's retina.
Name: Zhou Zhenwen
Official positions: Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Palace, Prince's Young Master, Chief Assistant to the Cabinet
Official rank: second grade
Martial arts realm: third level
Martial Arts: Dharma of absorbing energy, Green Snake with Two Sleeves (incomplete), Emperor Qi Watching Technique...
Traitor point: 97490
Zhou Zhenwen looked at the data on the data panel and sighed softly: "Hey, it's a pity that it's the traitor system..."
Yes, after time travel, he entered the Hanlin Academy and became the sixth grade, and then he awakened his golden finger - the treacherous minister system.
By continuing to hold power, forming cliques for personal gain, and excluding dissenters, one can gain treacherous minister points, which can be redeemed for a series of things such as martial arts cultivation, magical weapons, elixirs, and martial arts.
From being promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, becoming the first rank scholar of Zhongji Palace and the chief minister of the cabinet, and then becoming the prince's young master and a second rank official, he gained unimaginable benefits.
He is also fortunate that he still has room for promotion and the opportunity to further control his power.
He wants to become a powerful traitor!
Even the emperor must be an honest and obedient traitor to the country.
A traitorous minister can be a powerful minister, but a powerful minister is not necessarily a traitorous minister.
The definition of a treacherous official is one who is not loyal to the monarch, imposes excessive taxes, kills innocent people indiscriminately, deceives subordinates and conceals superiors, persecutes colleagues, uses power to misuse the country for personal gain, and harms loyal ministers.
A traitor can even kill the king, force the king to give up his throne, and do any lawless thing. However, Zhou Zhenwen also asked the system, that is, if he seeks to usurp the throne and become the True Dragon Emperor, will the traitor system be upgraded to the emperor system?
the answer is negative.
If Zhou Zhenwen becomes the emperor and does not meet the definition of a traitor, the traitor system will automatically leave.
This answer made Zhou Zhenwen a little disappointed.
At present, he has no intention of usurping the throne, but no one can predict what will happen in the future.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Likewise, as a treacherous minister, he actually doesn't want to be the emperor? Don't you want to seek to usurp the throne?
It's obviously also unqualified.
Ambition will continue to expand with status. Zhou Zhenwen also knows this, and he doesn't know where he will go.
But for now, he will not do this. The benefits of the system are what he needs. Compared with being an emperor for decades, he hopes to gain immortality and true immortality in this world of high martial arts.
After all, only immortality can enjoy eternity.
Compared to this, becoming a short-lived emperor is less interesting.
His current idea is that if the emperor suddenly disobeys, then change him...
At the same time, in the Great Wilderness Dynasty, in the capital, there was a palace deep inside the palace.
An alluring woman wearing a dragon robe, with long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and a bulging figure, was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, silently reading a letter.
This is a suicide note left by the late Emperor Qiandi, which records the intricate relationships in the court and the handles of some ministers.
The most conspicuous among them is Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the cabinet.
One by one, the charges are shocking.
"Father, the situation in the court is so chaotic. The power of the cabinet has been over-expanded. The Tsing Yi Party has become the number one party. Zhou Zhenwen, the cabinet scholar, is already known as the chief minister of the cabinet and has complete control over the power of the cabinet. This person has made countless fortunes since he took office. He embezzled a huge amount of money, occupied a large amount of land, secretly trained dead soldiers, and recruited private soldiers. He is obviously an out-and-out traitor!"
"Father, why didn't you get rid of him back then?"
"Instead, let him do whatever he wants?"
"Now that you are dead, how should I deal with him?"
The new emperor Liang Zhao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his eyes deep and deep, murmuring to himself.
"Why……"
Liang Zhao sighed quietly, stood up, took out a purple-red threaded elixir from the brocade box, and put it into his mouth.
In an instant, the appearance of Empress Liang Zhao, who had a convex body and elegant and refined temperament, changed slightly. Her face became firm and three-dimensional, and her lines and curves became harder. The most important thing is that she actually developed an Adam's apple. The bump in front of him also flattened out, no longer as thrilling as before.
In just a few breaths, Empress Liang Zhao actually turned into a man?
"The secret technique of Xianluo Palace, combined with the elixir of Shangtianjiyuan, really has the ability to change one's appearance. It is difficult for those who have not surpassed the first level of martial arts to see through it. I have been able to deceive hundreds of officials and become the prince as a woman. I finally succeeded. Ascension to the throne, this thing has been of great help to me!"
Liang Zhao looked at the handsome man in the bronze mirror and nodded slightly.
It turns out that Liang Zhao has been dressing up as a man since she was a child!
During the lifetime of the late emperor, there were a total of six direct lineage concubines in the harem. Except for the second prince who died young, the other four were all princesses. After the last one, Liang Zhao, was born, she was still a daughter?
This made the late emperor both angry and helpless.
The late emperor looked at his newborn daughter Liang Zhao and knew that with his own body, it was no longer possible for him to have an heir. A bold idea came to his mind, and he asked Liang Zhao to use his daughter's body to pretend to be a prince and become the legitimate heir of the Great Wilderness Dynasty. !
As soon as he thought of this, the late emperor no longer hesitated. He got rid of the midwife and palace maids who delivered the baby, concealed Liang Zhao's true gender, and then announced that the newborn was a prince.
The youngest prince, the sixth prince!
From then on, the late emperor raised Liang Zhao as a prince, letting famous teachers tutor her and cultivate her talents.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that Liang Zhao was the youngest prince.
"Back then, my father came up with this trick and asked me to disguise myself as a man and become the prince. It was because there had never been a precedent for a female emperor throughout the ages. If I inherited the throne as a woman, it would be difficult to convince the public. Many vassal princes would Hence the dissatisfaction..."
Empress Liang Zhao sighed quietly.
The Great Wilderness Dynasty adopted the vassal system. At that time, Emperor Wu, the founding emperor of the Great Wilderness, pacified the world and drove out the Tartars. In order to ensure the stability of various places and to allow the descendants of the Liang family to live with the country and share the glory and wealth, he deliberately transferred his eight The son was established as a vassal king and handed over the eight richest places to his eight sons.
As time goes by, the Great Wilderness Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years. These vassal kings spread their branches and gave birth to many descendants. They continue to devour the salary of the Great Wilderness Dynasty and have become one of the biggest borers in this country.
At this moment, the two biggest headaches for Empress Liang Zhao are the powerful cabinet chief minister Zhou Zhenwen and his Tsing Yi Party; the other is the vassal kings who are ready to move around. They have money and soldiers. There could be rebellion at any time.
"Ding dong..."
"The Empress Simulator is being bound..."
