different devil life

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Taigao asked after An Deli was resolved.

"I'm fine. You said that to the outside world. Andrew was old. He accidentally tripped and fell to his death while walking on the road."

Chapter 617 House Arrest for the Empress Dowager

"Your Majesty, will it arouse suspicion?" He Taigao asked worriedly.

"It will definitely attract suspicion, but it's okay. From now on, you will be in charge of the inner twelve supervisors. These days, you also need to find a few trustworthy masters with good martial arts. I will be of great use."

"Old slave obeys the order."

He Taigao was naturally very excited when he heard that the Twelfth Inner Prison was handed over to him, but soon he worried again: "Your Majesty, although Andre is dead, there are still many in the Twelfth Inner Prison. Dear friends, this old slave is worried that they will be disobedient..."

"Big Companion, you are not young anymore. Do you still use me to teach you the disobedient ones? You just go ahead and do it. The disobedient ones will all be executed before the Queen Mother finds out!"

"According to the order!"

Wang Zhong walked over and said: "Listen, you and I have already started to fight. If we fail, I may not die, but you... will die!"

He Taigao understood instantly, and quickly responded: "This old slave must go all out, be loyal to the emperor's dog slave, and share the worries of the emperor."

"Okay, get your hands ready, let's go to the Inner Twelve Prison together."

Wang Zhong was also worried that He Taigao would not be easy to deal with alone, so he went into battle himself.

He Taigao has been in the palace for so long, although he is not very powerful, he is not without his own cronies, and he quickly enlisted a dozen or so eunuchs.

With these people, Wang Zhong took his own bodyguards and went to the Inner Twelve Prison.

After hearing Wang Zhong say that An Deli fell to his death while walking, the rest of the Inner Twelve Prison's supervisors were stunned.

One must know that even though An Deli is old, he is also a martial artist, how could he fall to his death while walking?

There must be something strange about this!

"I will definitely investigate the matter of Eunuch An and give him justice, but the inner twelve prisons cannot be left alone for a day. Eunuch He has been with me for many years, and he is definitely qualified for the important position of Eunuch An. I believe that Eunuch An knows the secret and will definitely Smiling Jiuquan."

He Taigao next to him heard his eyelids twitch, and he found that the emperor had really changed a lot, and he could say such nonsense without blinking his eyes.

But this is a great thing for him, and he was worried that the emperor's ability is not high.

Unable to restrain himself, he also remembered the scene where Wang Zhong suddenly attacked Andri.

Seeing that An Deli didn't drink poisoned wine, he was a little worried that he would show his feet, but he didn't expect the emperor to make a sudden move.

It can be seen that the emperor grasped the timing very cleverly. He first promised Andeli not to let him drink poisonous wine, and then shot suddenly while he was relaxing.

It's like the emperor knows kung fu.

Because Wang Zhong came over in person, even though some people below were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything for a while.

Several cronies of the Empress Dowager secretly decided to go back and sue the Empress Dowager.

It's a pity they were too late.

As soon as Wang Zhong left, He Taigao used the excuse of checking the accounts to find out the problem, and put all of Andre's cronies in prison. When the Queen Mother Lu Huan knew about these things in the evening, it was too late.

........................

"Come here, let the emperor see me!"

Knowing that An Deli was dead and He Taigao was in charge of the inner twelve prisons, Lu Huan was furious and sent someone to call Wang Zhong.

At the same time, she decided to let the civil and military officials attack Wang Zhong early in the morning.

As the empress dowager, she has some allies in the court.

It's just that before the maid came out, she heard a scream from the maid, and she died at the door.

"A plague broke out in Fenggong Palace, everyone is not allowed to enter or leave, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

He Taigao's sharp voice came, and a group of guards from the inner twelve prisons surrounded the place heavily.

"Eunuch He, I think you are courting death!"

Lu Huan didn't know that Wang Zhong wanted to put her under house arrest!

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry, in order to prevent the plague from being contagious, our family can only do this." Mrs. He said with a smirk, he has already achieved this step, and it is impossible to retreat.

To retreat is to die!

"I see who dares to stop me, small stool and small table, follow me out!"

"As ordered!"

The small stool and the small table are masters who follow Lu Huan. Although they are small eunuchs, they are very powerful in martial arts.

But before he stepped out of the door, five people with bows and arrows suddenly appeared behind He Taigao, with a few 'swish' sounds, the bows and arrows instantly shot the small stool and small table to death on the spot.

"what……"

A group of maids and eunuchs screamed, even Lu Huan backed away in shock: "It's against you, you are against it."

"Queen Mother, forgive me for being rude. It's just that the emperor's life is difficult, and our family has nothing to do."

After He Taigao finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered: "The surrounding area is surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Scum!"

A group of masters surrounded Fenggong.

The harem is said to be big, but it is said to be small.

As soon as the matter of Feng Gong came out, almost the entire harem knew about it.

Everyone is wondering, is there really a plague in Feng Palace?

Just when a group of concubines were wondering, the emperor ordered the concubines of the harem to go to the main hall to discuss the plague.

Is there really a plague in the harem?

The concubines were all very curious.

Because the original owner, Luo Zhao, had not been emperor for long, so he hadn't had time to marry many concubines.

Now besides the concubine Li who was bestowed to death, there are still eight concubines left.

Empress Zhao Luan had come over long ago, and stood by Wang Zhong's side.

"Queen, I want to tidy up the harem, but it's impossible to keep an eye on it all the time, so I'll leave it to you in the future." Before the person came, Wang Zhong gave Zhao Luan a vaccination first.

Zhao Luan also knew about the house arrest of the Empress Dowager today, and was surprised by Wang Zhong's resolute actions for a while.

At the same time, she also understood that there was no turning back at this point.

Once the Empress Dowager returns to power, both she and Wang Zhong will be in great trouble.

Although it is said that the emperor is the son of the empress dowager, in order to fight for power, there have been countless incidents of the empress dowager killing their sons throughout the ages, and they must guard against it.

"The concubine knows." Zhao Luan nodded vigorously, his face regained his majesty.

After the concubines got the news of going to the main hall, they didn't dare to neglect, and stepped into the main hall one by one.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"The concubine sees the emperor..."

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "Excuse me, come and give me a seat."

Looking at the concubine sitting in front of him, Wang Zhong couldn't help feeling the benefits of being emperor.

These concubines have their own characteristics, some are protruding and backward, with a little fair complexion, and some are short, short, fat and very cute.

But most of them have one characteristic, that is, they are short.

Sure enough, people in this dynasty like short people, that is, Queen Zhao Luan is unique among this group of girls, and she is very tall.

"My dear concubines, I believe you all know what happened today. Two maids in the Phoenix Palace suddenly fell ill. After investigation, they may have contracted smallpox. In order to avoid the spread of the plague, I immediately closed the Feng Palace. Pity me The empress mother is benevolent and caring for the world. In order not to infect others, she voluntarily stays behind closed doors, which really makes me feel guilty..."

This is the speech that Wang Zhong had already thought up, and the concubines were taken aback when they heard it.

The many concubines in front of you, although they are all his wives, but their hearts are separated from each other. In the deep palace, who would know that the person next to your pillow really treats you wholeheartedly?

"My dear concubines, is there any abnormality around or on your body? If there is any abnormality, you must inform the imperial doctor immediately." Wang Zhong said solemnly.

"The concubine has been staying in the house recently and has not gone out."

"The concubine and the maids around me are not unwell..."

The concubines quickly expressed their opinions, saying that they were not sick.

"Well, it's so good." Wang Zhong deliberately paused for a moment, and said with emotion: "I have pity on my mother, I don't know what to do, hey..."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is auspicious and has her own destiny, so nothing will happen."

"Well, the emperor doesn't have to worry, be careful not to damage your body."

Wang Zhong smiled on purpose: "I am relieved a lot after hearing what my beloved concubines said. Since this is the case, in order not to worry the queen mother, let me tell you what the harem will do next."

"The harem cannot be left alone for a day. The queen mother can't come out now. I have decided that the queen will manage the harem."

If something happens to the queen mother, the harem will naturally be managed by the queen. No one can say anything about this.

It's just surprising that a concubine named Shen suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine feels something is wrong."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Wang Zhong's eyes flashed brightly. Sure enough, the harem is not peaceful. The queen mother is under house arrest by him, and there are still people who oppose his decision!

In my memory, Concubine Shen, like Concubine Li, was also a woman chosen by the Empress Dowager. She seemed to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites at home. When she was chosen at the beginning, according to the Empress Dowager, it was because Concubine Shen was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was a virtuous and virtuous woman. .

But according to what Wang Zhong saw now, it was simply a joke. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager chose a woman for him to control the Emperor.

Concubine Shen responded: "The harem has always been managed by the queen mother. Although the queen is capable, she has never done it after all. The concubine is a little worried."

"Really, what is Aifei's suggestion?" Wang Zhong asked lightly.

"The concubine thinks that our sisters will manage it together. As for the queen mother, please treat her with a famous doctor, hoping that the queen mother will recover soon." Concubine Shen is very courageous. The concubine who is closer to the queen mother, she believes that the emperor will consider her words carefully.

It's just that she was wrong.

Wang Zhong looked at Concubine Shen and said, "Concubine Shen, I suddenly remembered something. Concubine Li has a good relationship with you, right? When Concubine Li asked me to grant her death, she told me something about you. You are calling me behind my back as a foolish king, unworthy to be emperor!"

Wang Zhong's words were purely framed, who made this Concubine Shen disobedient?What is important to the king now is that his subordinates are absolutely obedient. Only in this way can he make drastic reforms.

Concubine Shen had hit him with a gun.

As for this crime, Concubine Li is dead anyway, so whatever he says is up to him.

"Your majesty, I am wronged, my concubine is loyal to the emperor, but I never said these words!"

Concubine Shen's complexion changed, and she hurriedly knelt down.

At this moment, she was a little dazed and didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked about this matter.

If Concubine Li had really said that, the emperor should have troubled her long ago.

The most important thing is that she never said these words.

The so-called authorities are obsessed, when Concubine Shen is in a daze, other concubines understand it.

What bullshit plague, the emperor is going to punish the queen mother.

If anyone speaks for the queen mother, the emperor will punish him.

Poor Concubine Shen, who still can't understand.

"Your Majesty, Ming Jian, the concubine never said..."

"Hmph, what Concubine Li said herself, could it be false? Companion!"

"The old slave is here!" He Taigao stepped forward immediately.

"Concubine Shen is arrogant and rude, has no respect, is jealous, and disturbs the harem. From now on, she will abolish her concubine position, demote her to a commoner, put her in the cold palace, and take back all concubine treatment!"

Concubine Shen's complexion changed drastically. She didn't expect her to fall from heaven to hell with just a few words.

This is called blindness!
