Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

Now that the matter of the Empress Dowager came out, the image of the imperial court plummeted in the hearts of the people all over the world, and thousands of people cast aside it.

Although afterwards, the court also made various remedies.

For example, to guide public opinion, we want everyone to think that the queen mother is pretending to be a monster. The real queen mother was actually killed by the monster long ago.

But with this kind of guidance, people don't know how much they can believe.

And just when the imperial court was overwhelmed by the Queen Mother's affairs.

Another sudden event shocked the court again—Emperor Ming Yuan suddenly contracted a serious illness and fell into a coma.

After diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor in the palace, he believed that Emperor Ming Yuan fell into a coma because of the empress dowager's grief.

But after Zhao Mu heard about it, he sneaked into the palace secretly and checked the situation of Emperor Ming Yuan.

He discovered that Emperor Ming Yuan's coma was actually caused by the death of the Queen Mother.

After all, the evil spirit in Emperor Ming Yuan's body came from the Queen Mother, and there seems to be some kind of mysterious connection between the two.

When the mother's body died, Emperor Ming Yuan also suffered a backlash.

Zhao Mu reckoned that it would be very difficult for Emperor Ming Yuan to wake up from this coma in a short time.

Chapter 50 Blood Jade Illusion

Department of Education.

Zhao Mu was packing his luggage in the house, ready to leave the capital.

The demon blood jade and the empress dowager's body have already been obtained.

He is going to find a secluded place and spend time studying it, so he probably won't be returning to the capital in a short time.

Suddenly, a voice came from the door: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, I have something to leave for a while. If you need to find me, go to the Fulin Shroud Shop on Banyue Street and ask them to send me a message."

Zhao Mu didn't look back, and said casually.

Zhou Yue walked in and sat on the chair: "Why, don't you pretend now?"

"Hehe, it's just that I don't pretend to be in front of you, and I believe you won't reveal my secret."

Zhao Mu also walked over and sat down, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's not certain, maybe tomorrow I will tell everyone that you are the poison doctor who lied to the emperor and queen mother back then."

Zhou Yue snorted softly with a small nose, and stared at Zhao Mu reproachfully: "You guys are really good at deceiving people. I thought your cultivation level was not high, but I didn't expect you to have already stepped into the realm of a master. Tell me, why? Compensate me?"

"What compensation do you want, as a promise?"

"roll!"

Zhou Yue slammed his fist up: "It won't be long before I break through to the Grandmaster Realm, do you want to compensate me? Then fight with me and let me see how good you are? "

What a violent woman!

Zhao Mu shook his head and asked, "Is there any result in the discussion of the affairs of the court in the past two days? Do the ministers want the eldest prince to ascend the throne directly, or establish a prince to supervise the country?"

The eldest prince is the offshoot of the royal family that was brought back by the Queen Mother from Qingshan County Prince's Mansion back then.

Ever since Emperor Ming Yuan fell into a coma, the Tai Hospital has been diagnosing and treating him.

Recently, they had their results. Like Zhao Mu's diagnosis, they also believed that it was impossible for Emperor Ming Yuan to wake up in a short time.

But the country cannot be without a master for a day, otherwise the entire court will become a mess.

So these days, the courtiers have been discussing, who should the future court respect?

"There are results. They are going to appoint the first prince as the crown prince to supervise the country."

Zhou Yue hummed: "But the eldest prince is only a seven-year-old child after all, and has no ability to supervise the country at all, so they are going to push sister Yuwen out to listen to the government behind the curtain in the name of the queen, and handle the government affairs on behalf of the eldest prince."

"Listen to politics behind the curtain?"

Zhao Mu looked back at her: "Is it a complete puppet, or does it have some real power?"

"how to say?"

Zhou Yue paused for a moment: "Sister Yuwen actually has no interest in power at all. Her wish since she was a child is to travel around the world and see the beauty of the world."

"However, she couldn't see the waste of people and wealth of the Great Jin Dynasty these years, so she negotiated terms with my master and King Su."

"She said that she could listen to the government behind the curtain and stabilize the court situation, but she demanded that the court must start to recuperate, stop the war against the Dajinlun Kingdom and the Five Poison Sect in Southern Xinjiang, maintain the current border position, and not attack again in a short time."

"In addition, in the country, except for necessary construction, all large-scale construction projects must be stopped, and taxes should be reduced and exempted, so that the people of the world can have a chance to breathe."

"For this point, Master and King Su both agreed, because they also believed that the world should calm down."

"As for power..."

Zhou Yue shook her head: "Sister Yuwen said that the affairs of the court will be decided by the master and King Su in the future. She just pretends to listen to the government behind the curtain, and has no interest in getting involved."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Your sister is very wise, the ministers of today's court actually obey Duke Wei and King Su, and other people can't interfere, so it's better to give up voluntarily and save trouble. "

……

Zhao Mu left and went to the valley where he had rejuvenated.

The location of the valley is extremely remote, and almost no one would show up at ordinary times, and no matter how big the movement was, no one would know about it.

Not long after Zhao Mu left, the imperial court appointed the crown prince.

The eldest prince, who was only seven years old, sat on the prince's seat to supervise the country, while the empress Yuwen Piaoxu began to listen to the government behind the curtain.

After that, the imperial court began to implement the national policy of recuperation.

The war stopped.

All kinds of large-scale civil engineering projects have gradually stopped.

All kinds of heavy taxes on the people have also been cancelled.

The entire Great Jin Dynasty had a chance to breathe.

The chaos outside had nothing to do with Zhao Mu.

In the valley, there was still that simple cabin.

A corpse covered in green feathers was lying quietly in front of the wooden house.

Zhao Mu squatted beside him, studying the empress dowager's body carefully.

He found that the empress dowager's body was completely different from that of ordinary people.

Not only is his body full of evil spirits, but more importantly, his body structure has also become hugely different from ordinary people.

For example, the bones all over the queen mother's body have become almost hollow, very similar to the bones of birds.

Plus it's covered in feathers.

Obviously, the demon blood jade should be some kind of bird monster, made of coagulated blood.

"This corpse has already turned into a demon corpse. If it is buried in an evil place and continuously absorbs the evil and gloomy energy, it may not take long before it will become a zombie."

Zhao Mu said to himself.

He took out the small box from his arms and took out the Demon Blood Jade.

Immediately, the demonic aura emanating from the demon blood jade echoed the demonic aura in the Queen Mother's body.

hum!

Strong demonic shock.

In the next moment, a disturbing force spread out.

The valley disappeared.

Zhao Mu looked around and found that he came to a huge lake.

The vegetation around the lake is lush, and under the blue sky, two beautiful mandarin ducks are playing on the lake.

The breeze blows slowly, making people feel in a trance that the two mandarin ducks seem to have turned into human shapes, dancing on the lake like a couple.

"Is this...an illusion?"

Zhao Mu was surprised.

After all, he is a master in the Grandmaster realm, with a firm and strong will in martial arts, and he can still distinguish reality from illusion.

I should still be in the valley now, but the power of the demon blood jade made me see this illusion.

"Could it be that this scene is the remaining memory in the Demon Blood Jade?"

"Could it be that the pair of mandarin ducks have already become spirits, that is, the monsters that condensed the blood jade?"

Zhao Mu secretly guessed, but the answer to this question may be difficult to figure out.

After all, everything in front of me is just an illusion. Who knows where the real bodies of the pair of mandarin ducks will be now?

Or, are they already dead?

With a move in Zhao Mu's heart, the sword intent swept out, and all illusions disappeared immediately.

Corpses, huts, and valleys all reappear.

He looked down at the Empress Dowager's corpse: "Very well, since the demon blood jade can react with the corpse, we can start the next step of research."

"I hope this demonized corpse can really help me purify the monster energy of the demon blood jade, so that I can absorb more spiritual energy."

……

Chapter 51 Three years later

Three years passed quickly.

Due to the implementation of the national policy of recuperating and recuperating, in the past three years, the Jin Dynasty has been very peaceful, and no major incidents have occurred.

The courtiers handled government affairs step by step, and the common people gradually regained some vitality.

Behind the scenes, many people hope that this kind of life can continue forever.

After all, when Emperor Ming Yuan was in power, people all over the world were tortured so badly.

Some people even said that they hope that the empress who is listening to the government behind the curtain can simply ascend the throne as the emperor directly, so as to prevent the faint emperor Ming Yuan from waking up and continue to toss about.

The folks have a high evaluation of Yuwen Piaoxu, the queen.

But there are also many people in the ruling and opposition parties who hate Yuwen Piaoxu to the bone.

Because of Yuwen Piaoxu's idea of ​​cultivating health and rest, they cut off their source of income.

The Ming and Yuan emperors carried out large-scale construction projects in the country, and they really tossed the people to death.

But there are also a large number of powerful and wealthy businessmen who have made huge profits because of this.

Every project started by Emperor Ming Yuan, such as the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south, and his own huge mausoleum, cost an astronomical figure.

Among them, the officials in charge of management and the rich and powerful businessmen who undertook the construction all made a lot of money.

But after Yuwen Piaoxu listened to the government behind the curtain, various large-scale projects in the country stopped one after another.

Where does this make them make money?

In addition, the imperial court also reduced and exempted the people from various taxes, and also vigorously cracked down on corruption.

In the past three years, almost every day in the capital, corrupt officials were imprisoned and beheaded.

The common people are happy, but the powerful and corrupt officials hate Yuwen Piaoxu so much that their teeth itch.

So all kinds of rumors about the queen spread quickly.

In their mouths, Yuwen Piaoxu became a generation of demon queens, persecuting Zhongliang and eliminating dissidents for their own selfish desires.

Some people even said that Yuwen Piaoxu, like the former queen mother, had already died long ago.

The current Yuwen Piaoxu is actually transformed from a monster.

What's even more outrageous is that some people explained that Emperor Yuan's coma was actually poisoned by Empress Yuwen Piaoxu, with the purpose of poisoning Emperor Ming Yuan to death and taking power by himself.

As a result, some people have started clamoring that they want to kill the demon queen to destroy the evil spirit of the Qing court.

But fortunately, no one has dared to really do it yet.
