Chapter 119 You and I Are Worthless!
The so-called palace back garden is actually the emperor's back garden.

It is full of ancient cypresses and old locust trees, and there are strange stones and jade seats.

The ground is spliced ​​by pebbles of various colors, which is colorful, simple and unique.

Zhou Huang walked on this small road, his brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy.

After walking out for two laps, the feeling of uneasiness not only did not ease, but became more intense.

He knew in his heart that this was a sudden change that brought him pressure.

"After a thousand years, you will be immortal."

What Wei Dongzheng said echoed in Emperor Zhou's ears.

He was troubled for a while, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Wei Dongzheng, Wei Dongzheng, what you said lightly, I want to fight with my life!"

"..."

"Forget it, let you fight with Xie Qian and those old guys first. If you can resist the pressure and insist on the New Deal, I will put the treasure on you!"

"If even Xie Qian can't deal with it, then don't expect me to help you."

After making a decision.

Emperor Zhou was in a better mood.

While admiring the scenery of the palace back garden, he casually asked:

"Wang Zhi, do you know who is behind the Jiangyue Tabloid?"

Wang Zhi, the admiral of the East Factory, followed behind Emperor Zhou, and hurriedly said:
"At present, I only know that it is the new shopkeeper of Jiangyue Pavilion. The exact name and who it is are still being investigated."

Zhou Huang thought for a while and ordered:
"Send someone to watch Jiangyue Pavilion, don't act rashly, wait for my will."

"If someone takes action to suppress it, don't sit idly by. I still have "Jiangyue Tabloid" still useful, we can't let it just collapse like this."

After a pause, he reminded again:

"By the way, when doing things, don't reveal your identity unless you have to."

Wang Zhi replied: "Your servant understands."

"As long as you know."

Zhou Huang walked to the pavilion next to the pool, stopped, looked into the distance, let himself go, and sighed:

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been slack in dealing with state affairs. I don't know how long I haven't visited this palace backyard."

Behind.

Wang Zhi hurriedly said:

"The Holy One is a virtuous monarch that is rare to meet in the ages. It is their greatest blessing for the people to live in the Great Zhou."

"You, don't put on a show, flatter the horse, and use these efforts in doing things, so I won't be so tired."

When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart:

What about working hard?
The most indispensable thing in and out of the palace is people who work hard.

The results of it?
I have been busy all my life, but I may not be able to see the Holy One.

so
It is important to work hard.

It is more important to try to figure out the holy will and flatter the horse!
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out of my mouth, I just said:

"I'm stupid, I can't share my worries for the Holy One, I really deserve to die."

Zhou Huang glanced at him, said no more, and continued to look into the distance.

Suddenly, within sight, an exquisite and unique pavilion attracted his attention.

Its shape is slim and beautiful.

There is a strange stone in the shape of a pine and cypress inside.

One side is next to the pool water, and osmanthus trees are planted on both sides, and a breeze blows by.

The bright yellow osmanthus flowers are like snowflakes, dancing in the air, like dots of stars, forming a beautiful picture.

"Why don't I remember that there is a pavilion there?"

Zhou Huang's eyes lit up, he stretched out his fingers, and said:

Wang Zhi looked in the direction of the finger.

"Returning to the Holy Father, the pavilion is called Luoxue Pavilion, and it was just completed last month. The strange stones placed inside were brought back from overseas by merchants from Yan Kingdom, and it took a lot of effort to transport them to Jinyang Mansion."

"A strange stone brought back from overseas?"

Emperor Zhou became interested and said, "Go, go and have a look."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhou Huang walked in front, and Wang Zhi followed behind.

After a while, the two arrived at the Luoxue Pavilion.

"As expected of something brought back from overseas, it is more delicate than I thought"

Zhou Huang looked at the strange stone in front of him, and sighed with appreciation in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, I wanted to get closer and observe carefully.

Take a step, but it seems to be stepping on ice, slipping uncontrollably.

With a sway, he fell straight backwards!

"Holy!"

This sudden change startled Wang Zhi.

He showed panic, and wanted to reach out to reach Emperor Zhou, but he couldn't reach it at all.

The strange stone is placed on the side of the pool.

Zhou Huang was standing next to the railing. At this moment, the soles of his feet slipped, and he fell uncontrollably towards the direction of the pool water.

Arguably.

There are railings, even if you fall, you will not fall into the pool water.

However, for some reason, the railing behind Zhou Huang was extremely fragile, and it would break immediately when touched.

thump!
next second.

Zhou Huang smashed into the pool water together with the railing.

"Save Gulu, save me"

Zhou Huang was illiterate and could not swim, so he fell into the pool, panicked and struggled instinctively.

The water in the pool is not deep, and with Zhou Huang's height, standing up straight, there is no danger at all.

After such a struggle, he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and his standing became more and more unstable.

"Holy!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhi was startled, and jumped into the pool without saying a word.

He hugged Emperor Zhou and pulled him up.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

After Zhou Huang came ashore, he coughed continuously, his eyes were red, and tears were about to come out.

now.

A group of eunuchs, maids, and guards surrounded them, kneeling on the ground with fear on their faces.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late with the escort!"

It is late autumn now.

The weather is getting colder.

A gust of cold wind blows.

Zhou Huang, whose clothes were wet by the pool water, shuddered suddenly and shivered.

Seeing this, an eunuch hurriedly took off his clothes, and stepped forward to put them on for Emperor Zhou.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, you put on your servant's clothes first."

Hear this.

Zhou Huang seemed to have thought of something, woke up suddenly, looked at the eunuch, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said loudly:
"do not come!"

The eunuch didn't know what he did wrong, so he stopped and didn't dare to go forward.

Zhou Huang's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked around and shouted loudly:

"Get out! Get out of here!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

aside.

However, Wang Zhi seemed to have guessed what Emperor Zhou was thinking, looked at the crowd, avoided Emperor Zhou's gaze, and waved his hands.

at the same time.

Zhou Huang's angry voice sounded again.

"Everyone is deaf! I told you all to get out! If you don't get out, I'll cut off your heads!"

Now, no one dares to stay here anymore.

"Slaves (subjects) leave."

Everyone saluted and turned to leave.

In an instant.

In such a huge area, only Zhou Huang and Wang Zhi were left.

Zhou Huang looked at Wang Zhi with bloodshot eyes, and his voice trembled a little because of the cold or some other reason.

"Looking at how a stone can fall into the water, how can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

"This must have been planned by them in advance! This is their warning! They want to tell me that I am surrounded by their people, and I can't fight them!"

Wang Zhi knew that the "they" mentioned by Emperor Zhou were scholar-bureaucrats.

With hesitation on his face, he said carefully: "I think this should be just a coincidence."

"How could it be a coincidence! It can't be a coincidence!"

Zhou Huang stared at Wang Zhi with wide eyes, and yelled like crazy.

"Go and check! Who has been to the Luoxue Pavilion in the past few days! Who participated in the construction of the Luoxue Pavilion!"

"One counts as one, all of them will be imprisoned and interrogated properly! Who is their mastermind behind the scenes!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhi didn't dare to say any more, and replied: "Your servant will remember."

Another gust of cold wind.

Emperor Zhou shuddered, then sneezed again, and continued:
"I will go to Wei Dongzheng later and ask him to summon the Huben Army and enter Beijing immediately!"

"Slave remembered."

Zhou Huang, who was trembling, looked at Wang Zhi who had been scolded countless times in front of him, and suddenly held his hand, his voice trembling.

"Wang Zhi, when this happens, there are not many people I can trust inside and outside the palace, and you are one. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations of you!"

Emperor Zhou knew it very well.

Once they break with the scholar-bureaucrats, anyone may be bought by them and become their own enemy.

Except for eunuchs like Wang Zhi.

They have long been tied to themselves, and they have no other choice but to do things on their own with all their heart.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they are the emperor's falcons and eunuchs, and they are of no value at all.

"At the critical moment, the only person I can trust is the eunuch."

Zhou Huang sat on the shore, looked at Wang Zhi, and suddenly felt that he was really pathetic.

Sighing in my heart, I said leisurely: "Help me up, I want to go back to rest."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wang Zhi stepped forward in a hurry, helped Emperor Zhou get up slowly, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

the following few days.

The Chaotang of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a lot of quarrels because of "the average tax on the square land, and the sharing of each person into the mu".

The Wei Party, headed by Wei Dongzheng and with humble officials at its core, is determined to carry out the New Deal.

Most of the officials headed by Xie Qian are firmly opposed to the New Deal.

Two groups of people have fought three times in the hall because of this incident.

No one can stop it.

Because the Great Zhou Emperor, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, was lying on a sickbed in the Qianqing Palace at this moment, recuperating.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

A loud cough sounded.

Wang Zhi stood aside, with a worried look on his face, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

After a while.

The coughing ends.

The weak Emperor Zhou, lying on the sickbed, frowned and said:
"Why did I drink the prescription for a few days, the wind and cold not only did not heal, but became more serious."

aside.

The physician explained:
"Your Majesty, sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a whirlwind. This is the case with wind and cold. No matter how good the prescription is, you have to drink it for more than ten days in a row before it will be effective."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Zhou Huang wanted to say something, but coughed violently again.

After a while, he said, "Go down."

"My minister retire."

The imperial doctor packed up his things, saluted, turned and left.

after he left.

Zhou Huang cheered up, looked at Wang Zhi who was at the side, and ordered:

"Check the Tai Hospital, if there are any problems, kill them all."

Wang Zhi nodded and said, "I understand."

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Emperor Zhou coughed for a long time and asked, "Has the mission set off yet?"

Wang Zhidao: "Return to Your Majesty, thank you Mr. Ge for sending the journey that started yesterday."

After a pause, with a look of hesitation on his face, he said: "There is something, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

A loud cough sounded.

Wang Zhi looked worried, and stopped asking, and said directly: "The maidservant received the news today that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess changed into a maid's clothes, followed the mission, and left the capital."

"Look, do you want to send someone to stop it?"

"Cough, cough, follow. Let her go"

Emperor Zhou said with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Right, there's one more thing."

Wang Zhi remembered something, and reported: "These days, the slaves have already found out who is behind the Jiangyue Tabloid."

Before Emperor Zhou could ask any questions, he immediately said:
"It's Tang Yixue, the remnant of Ye Kingdom. At the beginning, Dongchang reached an agreement with her to assassinate Emperor Qian together. After the assassination failed, she was captured by Prime Minister Qian and became his eyeliner."

"My servant speculates that, no accident, the Jiangyue tabloid published the news of the new policy, which was the instruction of Fang Xiu, the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom."

"Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom, Fang Xiu"

Hearing this name, the weak Emperor Zhou showed an angry face, and said through gritted teeth:
"I will never die with you!"

After the words fell, there was another violent cough.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

 I'm really sorry, I've been a bit busy at work these two days, and the update time is not fixed. Today is still the third update, and the remaining two updates will be posted later, woo woo woo...
