Chapter 2159 Seeking help
"Zi Fu, did you hear what I said to my mother?"

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of it!"

In Shu's room, the Empress Dowager seemed to have relieved herself of a heavy burden, and then left in a hurry.

The new emperor respectfully sent the empress dowager back to her room, and there was a slight change in his eyes.

"My mother told me that there are some people who are trapped in a situation and have no choice. Some people have evil hearts and will go all the way without looking back. Some people want to be with the moon, but they are bound by it and cannot escape. Some people choose to resist and then die without a burial place!"

Looking at Wei Zifu who was standing obediently in the lady's room and maintaining etiquette, the new emperor couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"If we encounter such a thing, how can we get out of it?" asked the new emperor.

"Your Majesty is the Supreme Emperor of the Han Dynasty. How could such a thing happen to you?"

Wei Zifu asked in confusion, as if she was puzzled by the question asked by the new emperor.

It was obviously even less likely that Wei Zifu could think of an answer to such an impossible thing.

This is completely different from the situation when the new emperor asked Zhang Xuezhou. Zhang Xuezhou would give a suitable answer no matter how the new emperor asked, but Wei Zifu chose not to understand the source of the question, let alone give an answer that would satisfy the new emperor.

"What if that person is not me, but you?" the new emperor asked with a smile.

"I?"

Wei Zifu's face turned pale, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

The emperor holds the power of life and death, and a single word can determine life and death. It is not uncommon in history for an emperor to be tender and affectionate one moment and beheaded the next.

Wei Zifu didn't understand the meaning of the new emperor's question for a moment. When the new emperor led the topic to himself, she felt as if her body was struck by lightning.

"If that person is me, I will sincerely ask Mingyue for help from Your Majesty!"

Wei Zifu's heart was beating wildly and sweat broke out on her forehead. She answered the question quickly with a sudden thought.

Her answer made the new emperor frown slightly, and then he fell into deep thought.

Wei Zifu could ask the new emperor for help, but the new emperor had almost no one to turn to for help.

Wei Zifu answered the question, but when the new emperor applied the answer to himself, he felt that there were only a few people around him who could help him.

The Empress Dowager, who controlled the Han Dynasty for three generations, was a person that could be trusted. The new emperor did not know what secrets the Empress Dowager had hidden in past years, but the Empress Dowager was indeed the most trustworthy person designated by Emperor Jing.

Excluding the fact that the Empress Dowager did not agree with the new emperor becoming the master of the Han Dynasty, there was no conflict between the new emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The Scarlet Sky Sword incident made the new emperor legitimate and the Empress Dowager no longer had any distracting thoughts.

The only problem is that the Empress Dowager can be trusted but cannot support the new emperor for long. She is suffering from an illness which is unlikely to last long, and this is known to the top members of the royal family.

In the past, it was uncertain whether the Han royal family could withstand the storm if the Empress Dowager passed away.

And through tonight's conversation, the new emperor was very clear that the balance was once again tilted towards their side.

After a relatively short conversation, the new emperor understood the Empress Dowager's preference.

In the list of people that Emperor Jing entrusted to the new emperor, his mother was not included. This was undoubtedly an unbelievable thing for the new emperor at that time.

Emperor Jing did not say it explicitly, but a seed was planted in the heart of the new emperor, and he gradually began to pay attention to some ordinary and insignificant things.

"If my mother is inclined towards me, she will definitely block the knives of some evil people for me!" If he were just a prince, the new emperor believed that his mother would most likely cause some trouble, just like the unstable elements such as the King of Liang, the King of Huai'an, the King of Jiangxia, the King of Huaiyang and others. Even if they appeared to be extremely respectful on the surface, it was hard to know what they were planning behind the scenes.

And when he became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, no matter how much he planned, it was not as good as this direct ascension to the throne.

Perhaps the Empress Dowager's goal in the past was only to bring disaster to the Han royal family, but after all the disasters, her own son became the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This accident was completely beyond her expectations.

This also led to a huge change in the Empress Dowager's mentality, and may even have induced her to defect.

After all, he is the Queen Mother's son, and the mother-son relationship is much closer than any other relationship.

"I still need to find someone to help me. My mother said that the Empress Dowager found a top-level cultivator in Dongfang Shuo's house. Not to mention that this cultivator came to the Han Dynasty to support me, if he can help me a few times out of kindness, I will definitely be able to overcome my difficulties!"

Family members know their own business. The new emperor does not possess the Chixiao Sword, which seems magical to others.

The fake Chixiao Sword cannot help the new emperor, let alone allow the new emperor in the realm of supernatural powers to sit firmly on the throne.

If one wants to truly stabilize the throne, the self-realm is the basis for confidence.

This is also the reason why the new emperor did not tell the empress dowager about his own cultivation.

Among the people he revealed the information to, only Wei Qing, his confidant who was in charge of martial arts exchanges, knew it first. Then Zhang Xuezhou, who presented the Taijie Six Talismans, learned the news. Apart from him, no one else knew that he had entered the realm of supernatural powers.

The new emperor needs some time, a time when others think that he is reaching the realm of supernatural powers, while he is actually moving towards the realm of self-centeredness.

He needs help from others to get through this awkward period.

This involves the Empress Dowager, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, and then the Empress Dowager, and may later involve the great monk in Zhang Xuezhou's mansion.

If there were more of these people, he might be able to use them at some point in time.

"It would be great if there were more people like Dongfang Shuo!"

Among the new emperor's many confidants, there are many who are young and loyal, but few who have special abilities, and so far there are few who can stand on their own.

Wei Qing was beginning to show his power, while Zhang Xuezhou was working stealthily, without even the new emperor being aware of the situation.

Wei Qing's loyalty was obvious, and he was constantly bound to him through his family. Zhang Xuezhou's advantage was his physical illness, which made the new emperor not wary. Even if Zhang Xuezhou acted a little more excessively, the new emperor felt that he could accept it.

The new emperor liked ministers like Wei Qing who were loyal, capable and not greedy. The new emperor also liked ministers like Zhang Xuezhou who were easy to control and capable of getting things done.

The former allows him to build a solid team, while the latter means that no matter how he does things, everything is under control and there is no possibility of any conspiracy against the Han Dynasty.

Wei Qing was currently limited in the scope of his abilities, while Zhang Xuezhou had no scruples. He was even bold enough to tease Zhuang Qingzhai's whiskers, which made Zhuang Qingzhai have no intention of objecting.

Zhang Xuezhou's time in the court meeting was not long, but it was the first time that the new emperor saw his own people making a group of old ministers helpless and forcing these old ministers to obey the relevant systems.

If this kind of situation happened more often, the new emperor felt that he would definitely be very happy.

At the moment, a great monk who is recognized by the Empress Dowager has come to the other party's house. Lady Dou and others will pay a visit to him tomorrow.

"Oh no! He will be unconscious tonight and I don't know if he can make it in time!"

The new emperor couldn't help but count on his fingers.

Compared with Dou Taizhu and others visiting and trying to persuade this great monk, it is obviously more appropriate for him to visit by himself. He can also truly understand the other party's intentions through Zhang Xuezhou, and has a higher possibility of gaining friendship than Dou Taizhu and others.

He patted Wei Zifu on the shoulder, indicating that she could rest, and then strode out of the room quickly.
