In the palace, above the main hall.
Emperor Liu Chi was quite furious. His voice was so loud that he almost lifted the roof of the palace. All the servants in the palace fell to the ground and trembled. The ministers in the palace sat upright one after another, but they didn't look particularly nervous. Isn't it normal for ministers to spray the emperor?
"Feiyan is so innocent that he was criticized for saying that I like Daji. Am I a subjugated king like Jie and Zhou?
How ridiculous.
A king who subjugates his country must have ministers who will subjugate his country. I use the prime minister to govern. Is the prime minister a minister who will subjugate his country?
Could it be that the Prime Minister is a treacherous villain who caused me to lose the world? "
The ministers in the palace stopped eating and looked at Wang Mang, but saw that Wang Mang's face did not change at all. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it, as if what he said had nothing to do with him. All Wang Mang's allies, including Luo Qi, remained silent. .
Only Wang Cheng said angrily: "Absurd!
Zhao Jieyu was offered as a gift by the minister, and Zhao Jieyu was concubine Xi Daji. Who is the minister?
Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty, who is the traitor who said this and insulted my reputation, which can only be washed away by sword and blood! "
Wang Cheng's murderous words were not false. The Han people had a good reputation and insulting their reputation was tantamount to killing their fathers. It was normal for a strong man to kill with a sword.
Everyone didn't take it seriously but looked like they were watching a show. This was not a formal occasion in the first place.
Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Wang Mang's eyes darkened and he glanced at Luo Qi. Luo Qi nodded slightly, indicating that it was time to start. Wang Mang then said quietly: "Your Majesty just said that there are secrets in the palace. How did these foreign ministers get it?" Do you know?"
Everyone who had not taken it seriously just now felt that something was wrong. This implicated the inner court and colluded with the outer court. Wang Mang was going to cause trouble!
If Wang Mang knew about it, he would definitely say that this is how you judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
All the tricks he played were to invite you to the urn, and every time he dealt with someone, the evidence was conclusive.
Fishing law enforcement belongs to fishing law enforcement, but there is no problem with the procedures.
Moreover, this time the attack against the inner court was just a defensive counterattack.
After Luo Qi entered Chang'an, he immediately made suggestions and said that just one Jieyu was not enough, Zhao Feiyan must be made the queen. The Queen Mother was getting old, and if she could not survive her death, Zhao Feiyan could continue to exist as a support in the palace.
Luo Qi's original words were, "The women in the palace are jealous. Feiyan will definitely be jealous of being favored. Witchcraft and sorcery have always been prevalent in the palace. As long as you keep an eye on the most important people, you will definitely have a chance."
Then, as Luo Qi said, as Zhao Feiyan became more and more favored, and reached the point where he was the most favored harem, the emperor no longer rested in the other palaces, but only accompanied Zhao Feiyan every day. Unbearable, the art of witchcraft entered again In the palace.
Wang Mang and Luo Qi, who had been keeping an eye on these things for a long time, immediately knew that the opportunity had arrived.
Then he concocted this series of memorials. Of course it was Zhao Feiyan who told about the palace affairs.
The opponent had already put the knife in his hand. If he didn't stab him hard, that would not be Wang Mang's current style, so what happened today.
As Luo Qi, who concocted all this, it can be said that he is the true successor of the Luo family strategist. His whole body is black when he is cut, which is comparable to Luo Qing, who single-handedly directed the palace coup.
After Wang Mang finished speaking, he looked at each other and Luo Qi, then looked outside the hall, counting silently. In just a few breaths, before everyone could react, he heard a voice from outside the hall, "Zhao Jieyu has arrived."
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes walking in. She moved lightly with lotus steps, her body was so light that she seemed to be flying off the ground, and a gust of fragrant wind blew towards their faces.
Zhao Feiyan had already sat down next to the emperor Liu Chi. She blinked and looked around, feeling infinitely charming.
She first glanced at Luo Qi. They had met briefly several times before, but it was not easy for a concubine to meet a foreign minister. This was the first time she took a serious look at him.
Those who can become officials all have pretty much the same looks, and none of them are particularly ugly, especially in this era of the inspection system, where appearances are very important, but Luo Qi is still the one who stands out from the crowd.
After staring at the sacred mark between Luo Qi's eyebrows for a few times, Zhao Feiyan's eyes were filled with infinite fire, and she fell in almost instantly.
It's not just about looking at faces, there's also a very crucial point.
Every time she appeared, Luo Qi was the only one, and although she looked stunning, there was no sense of obscenity.
All men in the world are the same, but the man in front of me is different.
This made her feel better.
It turns out that Luo Shizi is like this!
There are countless lively thoughts in her heart.
She is no longer that actress. The power possessed by the Tian family can make an ordinary person turn over in an instant. She is now the most favored concubine in the palace. As long as she gets the favor of the emperor, her family will soon be He became distinguished because of her.
Even Wang Mang cannot regard her as a pawn now, but as an ally who needs to be united.
Of course, she also needs Wang Mang's help to make her more noble.
An emperor has many relatives, but the most noble one is the queen!
Zhao Feiyan wants to be the queen, and Wang Mang needs her to be the queen. The alliance between the inner and outer dynasties is the most stable.
Zhao Feiyan stopped coveting Luo Qi and started to perform. When she looked at the memorial on the table, her face suddenly turned pale and she said: "Your Majesty, this...
Is it true that I am a person as harmful to the country as I am like Daji?
If this is the case, please ask Your Majesty to drive me out of the palace and let me fend for myself.
The sisters in the palace don't like me and make hurtful remarks. The ministers outside the palace also hate me. This is probably my fault. "
As soon as this sentence came out, several people's eyelids jumped. Although Zhao Feiyan didn't say anything, there were memorials on the table that wrote about the secrets of the palace. Wang Mang just asked that sentence, as well as Zhao Feiyan's current words. , people can’t help but connect with each other.
The inner court and the outer court colluded to frame the emperor's most favored concubine!
It's going to happen!
This was the thought that came to the minds of the few people who reacted. They even lowered their heads silently, hoping that the emperor would not see them.
Emperor Liu Chi's eyelids jumped when he heard this. Of course he knew that the palace was dissatisfied with him for favoring Zhao Feiyan alone, but why did he care?
He is the supreme emperor. He favors whoever he wants to favor and honors whoever he wants to honor.
Why does the majestic emperor of the empire need to explain his actions to the women in the palace?
But I didn't expect these people to be so bold and want to attack their beloved concubine. If they dare to attack their beloved concubine now, will they have any dissatisfaction in the future and want to assassinate themselves as the emperor?
Thinking of this, Liu Chi's eyebrows flashed with a hint of anger.
Once a person becomes ruthless, his heart will be as cold as iron. No matter what tenderness and affection he had in the past, it will all be in vain.
Zhao Feiyan knew the emperor very well. She knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw his expression, so she added more jealously: "Your Majesty, I have been suffering from headaches and chest pains recently, as if I were being pricked by needles. I really don't know why. .”
boom!
As soon as Zhao Feiyan said these words, even Wang Mang lowered his head slightly, and other unrelated people were even more confused.
who I am?
where am I?
What should I do?
Why do I come to the palace today?
I just doubt my life!
This is so obvious. Who among these people is not well-read in poetry and literature? Who doesn’t know about the disaster caused by witchcraft?
The symptoms mentioned by Zhao Feiyan were completely caused by witchcraft!
But when everyone looked at the confused Zhao Feiyan, they couldn't see any intentionality at all. It seemed that she really didn't know what she was talking about.
Only Wang Mang and Luo Qi secretly admired in their hearts.
What Zhang Wuji said has been verified once again. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!
There were so many old foxes present, but no one could see through Zhao Feiyan's acting skills, let alone the emperor, who was so aggressive every day that he almost lost his brain.
Almost as soon as Zhao Feiyan finished speaking, her hair stood on end.
In today's world, there is no official induction of heaven and man, but there are spontaneous ones. Ministers often say so, and the emperor also says so. This is a remnant of the doctrine of destiny handed down from ancient times.
The same is true for the art of witchcraft. Some people doubt whether it really exists, some swear by it, and some people are half-doubtful.
If it is said that no one has actually seen it, if it is said that it is not, but the disaster caused by witchcraft in the past, it is really a sudden death.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Chi believes it anyway. He is particularly superstitious about things about ghosts and gods, and he also particularly believes in the existence of witchcraft.
"This is the art of witchcraft!"
Liu Chi gritted his teeth and said, "You actually used witchcraft in the palace. Do you want to harm my beloved concubine, or do you want to target me?
I am really too kind and have caused so many disasters in the palace.
Chang Shi, search the palace for me immediately, especially the palaces of those nobles. Search carefully! "
There was silence in the palace for a moment!
————
Empress Xiaoxi Zhao was an actress from the Guandong region. She had a slender waist and was good at walking. She held a flower branch in her hands and trembled. No one else could imitate her. So she named her Feiyan. Wang Mang offered her to confuse her and entered the palace. I'm so lucky for Jieyu.
There is an extremely expensive hall in the Changsheng Palace, painted with gold, with white jade steps and inlaid with pearls, blue fields and green feathers on the walls. The queen and other concubines were jealous of it and used witchcraft to curse it.
When the disaster occurred, the emperor was greatly frightened. He deposed the queen and hanged the concubine Wu, and made Jieyu the queen. ——"Book of Han·Biography of Foreign Relatives"
