lady, please calm down

February 13th, evening.

Jianzhou Jin General Shu Hu was suddenly summoned by the Jin Emperor to enter the city tonight. It was originally the time he and Chi Gu and others had agreed to kill the generals of the three clans. At this time, he had to leave his subordinates when he entered the city.

Although there was surprise and doubt in his heart, it was Hezha's personal army who came, and what he was told was His Majesty's oral message. If he did not want to rebel, he must go there.

At the time of Xu, Shuhu left the camp and entered the city.

Once I go, I never come back.
Li Chu and Tang Kuo, who had originally planned to stay in the city's posthouse as internal responders, received the instructions from the Holy Face almost at the same time. They were much more vigilant than Shu Hu.

He said nothing but moved, insisting on seeing General Chigu first.

Finally, Hezha's soldiers lost their patience, gagged the two men, tied their hands and feet, stuffed them into a carriage and transported them over.

That night, Shu Hu and Li Chu died quietly in the official residence.

The consort Tang Kuo was personally hanged by his wife, Princess Dai, and his concubine Tongxuan.

At 11:00, an oral order from Emperor Jin came from the official residence, convening Han Qixian of Nanjing Prefecture, Yelu Guangde of the naturalized army, Wen Xuzhong of Lizhou Army, Pang Gu, the new governor of Yuzhou, and Gao Cunfu, who stayed on Zhongjing Road, etc. for civil and military discussions.

An urgent move was made in the middle of the night, and everyone couldn't help but feel anxious.

After everyone arrived, Tongxuan read out the edict of Emperor Jin on behalf of the Jin Dynasty. He also carried Chi Gu, Shu Hu, Li Chu, Tang Kuo and others with him. The evidence was conclusive and the crime was overturned!
However, there are still generals in the army who have close contacts with thieves. They need to be eradicated together so that I can feel at ease.

Immediately order all the troops to go to Jianzhou Army to capture the leader of the thieves
As soon as the decree came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Then Chigu Naihe Zha Dutong, who could be said to be the first-class confidant of Emperor Jin, was killed like this?
Then there is the Jianzhou Army, which is the only army among the various armies of King Qin that is mainly composed of Jin people, except for the Hezha pro-army. Now that the commander Shu Hu is dead, the meaning of this decree is that they are to join the Jianzhou Army. Clean it up!

Pang Dagu and Han Qixian immediately stood up and took orders.

Although Yelu Guangde and Yu Wenxuzhong noticed that everything tonight was strange, they both had grudges against Jin Jun, so they hesitated and took orders one after another.

Only Gao Cunfu was left in Zhongjing. After a brief struggle, he bravely said: "National Master! This matter is not trivial. I want to meet with the Holy Emperor."

"Hmm~?"

Tongxuan snorted a long sound through his nose, seemingly dissatisfied with Gao Cunfu's questioning and verification.

Pang Dagu and Han Qi looked over first and their eyes were not so kind.

A little sweat broke out on Gao Cunfu's forehead, but he still managed not to change his words.

At this tense moment, someone outside the door said: "Zhaorong, the prince has arrived."

Immediately, Chai Yuanyi walked in holding the eight-year-old prince Wanyan'an.

Jin Emperor Wanyan Dan had a reputation as a virtuous man when he was young. After he ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern and was somewhat like a "wise king".

It was not until the seventh year of Fuchang in the Qi Dynasty that Wanyanji, his eldest son born to the queen, died of illness. After the death of the eldest son who had placed Wanyan Quan's unlimited hopes on him, Wanyan Quan's temperament changed drastically, and he began to neglect government affairs, become drunk and murderous.

First, on New Year's Eve that year, he beheaded more than 200 palace maids, and then the following year, he killed the emperor's younger brothers Wanyan Yuan and Wanyan Chala while drunk. Finally, in the middle of the year, he personally beheaded the queen Pei Man after getting drunk.
At this point, Wanyan Dan completely let himself go and ran wildly on the road of darkness.

This Wanyan'an also came from the Pei Man family and was established as the prince after Wanyanji's death.

When everyone saw the prince arriving, they all saluted.

Wanyan'an was ignorant, but Chai Yuanyi said: "The emperor feels a little uncomfortable and has rested. The prince will be in charge of tonight's affairs."

"."

When the emperor is sick, the prince supervises the country. It is natural and logical.

But the prince is only eight years old!

Moreover, the emperor has not arranged any auxiliary ministers, so this is too childish!

Gao Cunfu was filled with worries, and Wanyan An didn't know if he had received certain instructions before coming. He just heard him say in a childlike voice: "The imperial master is my father's humerus. Please obey his orders tonight."

"Yes!" Several generals promised with clasped fists.

Having said this, Gao Cunfu, no matter how uneasy he was, could only accept the order and go. He could see that several Han, Bo, and Liao generals were already eager to try on the Jianzhou Jin Army. If he pushed back, tonight, he would say Maybe he will also be on the purge list.

At the second quarter of Hai hour.

All the military generals had taken their respective tasks and left. Wanyan An was also taken away by the palace maid to rest. Only Chai Yuanyi and Tong Xuan were left in the hall.

Tongxuan could sense that the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty had something to say to herself.

But as if competing for patience, the two of them just sat far away, neither of them speaking.

In the end, it was Tongxuan who smiled first and chanted: "Tianzun of infinite blessings and longevity, I thank Chai Zhaorong for what happened today."

Chai Yuanyi's on-the-spot performance was indispensable for successfully killing Tuoman Chigu today.

You know, Chai Yuanyi probably guessed that someone was plotting to frame Chi Gu without knowing anything, so she immediately followed suit.
Very courageous and careful.

It was precisely because of her wonderful performance that Chi Gu's life was completely cut off.

After hearing Tongxuan's thank you, Chai Yuanyi gave a formal smile and said: "I am helping you as well as myself. By the way, the Imperial Master is a member of the King of Chu of Qi State?"

"."

Tongxuan, who was sizing up the usually low-key Zhaorong appearance, was shocked when he heard this.

Although after arriving in Yuzhou, Tongxuan acted much bolder because of the support of the military commander, but this was also the first time that an outsider pointed out his heel in person.

Tongxuan was surprised that Chai Yuanyi, who had been staying in the palace all year round, guessed his identity in just one afternoon.

Chai Yuanyi continued: "So, my father and the others are now in the hands of King Chu?"

Anyway, the words had been spoken, and Tongxuan, who was relaxed, smiled and praised, neither denying nor confirming.

Seeing this, Chai Yuanyi also smiled and stopped dwelling on this topic. She quickly changed the topic, "National Master, I helped you today, do you want to help me tonight?"

"How can Chai Zhaorong help Pindao help you?" Tongxuan thought that Chai Yuanyi wanted to find him as a backer and take the initiative to embrace him at this time of great changes, so his tone couldn't help but be a little frivolous.

Chai Yuanyi seemed not to have heard it. She looked out the window at the colorful night and said calmly: "There are too many women in this harem. I want to be more quiet."

Only then did Xuantong realize that he had thought wrongly, and couldn't help but feel dumb. However, Chai Yuanyi continued: "It will be good for you, the State of Qi, and the King of Chu to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of them tonight."

Since the death of Pei Man in the eighth year of Fuchang, the Jin Emperor has not established a successor.

But among the concubines, the noble concubine Zhuituo, Huifei Shidun and other women from the Jin Kingdom's wealthy families were the most respected.

Although Chai Yuanyi was favored by Emperor Jin, she also suffered humiliation at the hands of these people.

"Chai Zhaorong, you are so cruel! After all, we are all your sisters in the palace, haha."

Tongxuan smiled and said without comment.

Chai Yuanyi glanced sideways at Tongxuan, with a smile that showed no joy on her face, "Sisters? Haha, I have been humiliated since I was nine years old, and I only have family hatred and hatred for the country in my heart! Jin Ren Everyone should be killed, regardless of gender, young or old!”

In the last two sentences, the always steady voice finally showed a slight fluctuation. Tongxuan suppressed his smile, but asked: "Zhaorong just said that getting rid of them would be good for me and the King of Chu. I dare to ask what good is it?"

"Today, Wanyan Quan has shown signs of dementia. Next, the prince will become a puppet that can be placed on a high platform. If you help me get rid of the concubines and the others, the prince will naturally fall into my hands. By then, the Imperial Master will be established Great work, if I help the King of Chu to bring trouble to the Jin Kingdom through Wanyan'an, won't I get twice the result with half the effort in doing great things for the Qi Kingdom?"

This reason immediately convinced Tongxuan, but the latter still asked one more question, "Zhaorong is so brave! But what if Emperor Jin regains his sanity one day and accuses me?"

"National Master, just don't worry, I will resolve this matter."

"All right!"

Tongxuan finally made up his mind and said: "Let me know who Zhaorong wants to send to meet the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom."

Chai Yuanyi was already prepared. She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it over.

Tongxuan unfolded it and took a look. He called him "Good Guy". The paper was densely filled with names. Except for some noble women from the former Zhou Dynasty who were kidnapped like Chai Yuanyi, the rest were the names of harem women from the seven major surnames of the Jin Kingdom who were married to the Jin Emperor. All listed
Tongxuan then thought about it, it would be good to do this. Although the Wanyan family in the Jin Kingdom belonged to the royal family, there were many tribes under them, and there had always been a tradition of marriage.

If all these women were killed, it would definitely anger the tribe chiefs in Huanglong Mansion and completely cut off the possibility of peace talks between the two parties.

"Zhaorong sit still, Pindao will do it now"

"The Imperial Master is staying, there is one more thing."

Tongxuan saluted and was about to leave, but Chai Yuanyi called out to him again.

"Is there anything else wrong with Zhao Rong?"

"Where is King Chu now?"

Chai Yuanyi suddenly asked this question, and Tongxuan shook his head without answering.

Unexpectedly, Chai Yuanyi's next words confused Tongxuan's mood, "National Master, let me ask you, why are you able to be favored by the Jin Emperor and enjoy glory in the Jin Kingdom?"

"."

Tongxuan didn't want to answer this question even though he knew it in his heart.

Why can't I offer those pills that can extract energy?
Chai Yuanyi didn't intend to listen to Tongxuan's explanation, and said quietly: "I heard someone say that the King of Chu is young and strong, and he has many virtuous ministers and generals around him. You said, if your affairs in the Jin Kingdom are completed, you will return to the Kingdom of Jin." When we arrive in Qi, the King of Chu will not need your elixir, and you will not be able to govern a country or lead an army to fight. How will you maintain your glory and wealth and support your many beauties? "

Tongxuan was confused, and Chai Yuanyi spoke to his heart.

It's not like he has never stayed in Huaibei. At that time, he could see that Chen Chu was extremely resistant to "elixirs" and so on. It could even be said that he was disgusted.

This was probably the reason why he had never been able to enter the inner circle of Huaibei.

"Furthermore, if the Imperial Master still wants to please the King of Chu with the current tactics, the wise ministers and fierce generals around him may not be able to tolerate you," Chai Yuanyi said again.

"The worst I can do is go back to Huaibei and become a rich man!" Tongxuan said with a slightly angry tone.

Unexpectedly, Chai Yuanyi smiled, like a devil seducing people, and whispered: "Is the Imperial Master willing to give up? You are inferior to several people in Huanglong Mansion and superior to ten thousand people. You returned to Huaibei and became a magistrate. Are you willing to be a humble rich man?"

It’s really a bit unwilling!

After experiencing the awe of the emperor's ministers and the officials, I just want to go back and be an ordinary person again, and the gap will be uncomfortable.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, Master, find an opportunity to send me to the King of Chu. I will help you internally and you will work for me externally. If we join forces, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!"

Hearing this, Tongxuan looked at Chai Yuanyi carefully. The royal family had improved their genes through generations of drafts, and there were very few ugly children.

This Chai Yuanyi is only twenty-three or four years old this year. Just like a lightly ripened fruit, she is delicate and graceful.

But Tongxuan has also seen the family members of the King of Chu. Whether it is the virtuous princess, the vicious Cai Hua, or even Yu Nong, they are all stunning in their own way.

Wanyandan, who had never eaten fine rice bran, regarded Chai Yuanyi as a treasure, but the King of Chu did not necessarily think so.
"Zhaorong is so ambitious. Haha, are you so sure that King Chu will like you?"

She wants to control the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, but also wants to control the talkers of the Qi Kingdom. If she succeeds in this matter, she can control Jin Qi in one fell swoop. Coupled with her status as a royal family of the Zhou Kingdom, it is possible that Qi, Jin, and the three kingdoms will be unified in the future. .
This woman's ambition can be described as overwhelming!
"You just need to create opportunities for me. As for whether it can happen or not, it only takes two years. You will see then." Chai Yuanyi's plain tone contained strong confidence.

Tongxuan thought for a while, no matter how he calculated this matter, it would be beneficial to him and harmless, and finally nodded and accepted the alliance.

Immediately, Tongxuan went out, preparing to help Chai Yuanyi get rid of the group of potential rivals who controlled the prince.

But before going out, I still felt uneasy, so I couldn't help turning around and reminding others, "It's okay for others to come, but you must not show your feet in front of the Wangfu Cai family. If she makes her suspicious, you will die without a life, just like Chu." The king can’t protect you!”

After Tongxuan left, Chai Yuanyi stayed alone in the house for a long time.

In terms of growing up environment, Jia Rou, who usurped her family, was far less dangerous than Chai Yuanyi.

Of the more than thirty sisters who were kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin, less than half survive to this day.

Chai Yuanyi was able to survive because she had no shortage of forbearance, ruthlessness, determination, and scheming.

In today's game, she was originally a flag that was being used, but she decisively seized the opportunity and turned from a chess piece into a chess player.

And chose stud.

Now she doesn't have many chips, only this relatively young body can be counted as capital.

Chai Yuanyi reviewed the story in detail. It wasn't until there was a commotion in the back house that she swayed and went to visit a group of sisters who were about to die.
In the end, Tongxuan's reminder about Cai Hua was not heard in his heart.

February 13th, the end of Haishi.

There was chaos in the back house of the Yuzhou official residence. Among Wanyan Quan's concubines, a total of thirty-two concubines from the imperial concubine Zhuo Tuo down were filled in wells and hanged.

It happened to be exactly the same as the number of imperial women taken captive in Zhou Dynasty.

At the beginning of Zishi, turmoil broke out again in the Jianzhou military camp outside the city.

Han, Liao and Bo troops from Guihua, Enzhou, Lizhou, Yuzhou and other places surrounded the general camp. After reading the emperor's decree, they tied up more than 20 officers and took them away.

Almost all the high-ranking officers of the Jianzhou Army were captured.

The leaderless Jin army in Jianzhou was at a loss as to what to do. They were furious when they saw that the Han army dared to capture Jin officers. However, as the imperial edict was read out, more than two thousand soldiers could not help but become confused.

Your Majesty, why did you kill your own people?

What happened to this big gold?

By daybreak, the turmoil inside and outside Yuzhou had initially subsided.

Some officers were re-appointed that day. Around noon, news came out from the official residence that the emperor was ill and was moved to Nanjing Mansion for rest and treatment the next day.

But the gossip said that the emperor was mad and not only cried and laughed at times, but also had more than thirty concubines executed by oral instructions the night before.

As a result, Zhaorong Chai became the most noble one in the harem.

Before Emperor Jin left, Gao Cunfu wept and begged for an audience, but was blocked by the combined efforts of Chai and the imperial master.
February 17th.

The King of Chu of Qi led his army to Hejian Mansion on the border of Qi and Jin. (End of chapter)
