Chapter 84 (1/2)

Of course, there were emperors in the Qi Dynasty.

Although the world is in turmoil and the flames of war are everywhere, as long as the Empire has not perished, the emperor will still be the emperor, even if there is no sense of existence in the government and the public.

Because of the early death of the former Emperor, the little emperor was only four years old when he ascended the throne. Zhang Minzhong and three other important officials were appointed by the former Emperor to supervise the state and manage the government. After the younger emperor was mature and married, he would be in charge of the government.

It is reasonable to say that the four important ministers work together to check and balance each other and supervise each other, so that no one can suppress the other. This can prevent someone from becoming a traitor who is too powerful and despotic. Moreover, all the four ministers were selected after the emperor's painstaking efforts and repeated studies. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to ensure that the power structure of the court is not unbalanced for ten years.

Then, the first emperor died and Longyu returned to heaven, the little emperor ascended the throne, and the four important ministers began to assist the state in governing the government. Everything was carried out according to the expectations of the government and the public.

However, no one thought that the good situation only lasted for more than three years. Hou Suke, one of the four ministers, was dismissed and killed by Zhang Minzhong because of 15 crimes, such as forcibly occupying civilian land and houses, corruption and bribery, and having personal relations with foreign vassals. Of course, it was in the name of empress Tai and the little emperor.

The balance of power in the imperial court began to be broken. In the next two years, Zhang Minzhong repeatedly resorted to vicious tactics, removed the remaining two ministers, and took away a large number of civil and military generals who were not in the right direction, so as to completely monopolize the power and control the court situation.

There are unconfirmed rumors that the reason why this chief assistant became the final winner was that he had some unclear relationship with the little emperor's biological mother. At the beginning, when the first emperor returned to heaven, the specific cause of his death was full of doubts. According to the estimation of the imperial doctors, the Emperor could still stay calm for several years.

Moreover, during the mourning period, some maids saw Zhang Minzhong meeting with the Empress Dowager and rolled to a bed, and a series of things happened naturally.

Up to now, the little emperor has already reached the age of 18, but he has not set up a concubine, and there is no way to talk about the monarchy. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, some loyal officials were willing to be loyal to the royal family, but they dare not to be angry. Zhang Minzhong, who was in the ascendant of power, called the wind and rain on the court hall and pointed the deer into horses.

Up to now, the imperial court's vigor is declining day by day. Tired of dealing with it, Zhang Minzhong had to temporarily suppress his wild hope of threatening the emperor's Zen throne and adding Huang Pao to his body.

Of course, with the help of the Empress Dowager's lover, Zhang Minzhong had already got the military power both inside and outside the capital city, including in the imperial palace. Therefore, he did not worry that things would go beyond his control. He could abolish the little emperor at any time and sit on the gold gilded throne in Kowloon.

“…… What's going on? What's wrong with him

Zhang Minzhong took off the curtain and looked at the kneeling henchmen outside.

”Lord, I heard that the emperor was suddenly insane. He kept throwing things in his bedroom and injuring the maids and doctors who went to visit. No one could persuade him to go. It has been midnight. The Empress Dowager has no choice but to ask the little one to come and ask the Lord to go up and have a look... ” Xinweihui reports.

Zhang Minzhong frowned and instinctively felt that something was wrong. The little emperor had been a clay figurine like ornament for more than ten years. He had been obedient to himself and never disobeyed him. Why did something go wrong at this time?

”Somebody, change clothes for me, and let the car be ready outside.” After thinking for a while, he finally said.

After all, he is a well-known emperor. If something goes wrong, he can't care about this first assistant. He has to go to see it to rest assured.

A group of gorgeous girls with light gauze and delicate posture rushed in with all kinds of washing utensils and began to wait on the chief assistant to dress up.

Half an hour later, Zhang Minzhong was escorted out of the house by a group of experts. The huge chariot of the imperial chariot was ready, and a large number of elite soldiers were waiting for him.

When the master got on the car, with the command of the general, the huge team went straight to the direction of the imperial city.

At the moment, the palace city inner garden.

Outside the emperor's palace, the maids knelt down in a large area, all of them frightened and pale.

A woman with purple dress and Phoenix crown, beautiful appearance, and noble all over her body walked up and down with a look of annoyance. She suddenly stopped and glared at them and asked, ”how do you, you bastard slaves, serve the emperor? What a big mistake? It's time to kill everyone

”The empress dowager, the maids don't know what's going on.”

a female official replied timidly: ”before the emperor's rest, it's still good. Who ever thought that something happened suddenly, slave The maids also feel wronged... ”

”Wronged?”

The Empress Dowager sneered: ”you this dead Ni son did not serve the emperor attentively, still dare say injustice? Let's drag it down
