I was reborn as the villain

Xun Liuchen looked hesitant, but he still said firmly: "My queen, the Tai Zuo is upright and indifferent, not someone who is greedy for power. My son has spent a lot of effort to invite the Tai Zuo to come out of the mountain. , will chill the hearts of those who sincerely serve the country."

The Queen Mother looked unhappy and said: "There is no one who is not greedy for power and wealth. In the past, Duke Zhen had no power and no soldiers, so he showed an appearance of no desire and no desire. Now that the power is in his hands, it is really hard to say what he has in mind. It will change, especially when you have the power to influence the direction of a country, it is easier to change your mind, the emperor thinks about it carefully, since Zhen Guogong has no intention of power, how can he recommend himself to lead the army, the emperor has to guard against it."

What the queen mother said made Xun Liuchen vigilant. It is true that Chen Zhimo's power is already overwhelming, and he is also a person with outstanding ability and the hearts of the people and the army. If he really has two hearts, the little emperor really has no way to deal with it.

Thinking about it carefully, Xun Liuchen broke out in a cold sweat. He had just escaped from the hands of the assistant minister and entered a new prison. Moreover, this time the opponent was even stronger, and Xun Liuchen had no confidence in defeating him.

Seeing that the little emperor had become suspicious of Chen Zhimo, the eldest princess persuaded from the side: "My queen, according to my son, Lord Taizuo is not such a heartless, greedy and power-hungry person. In times of crisis, helping His Majesty to control the power, how can he have two minds? If the Tai Zuo has a different heart, why should he conspire with His Majesty to get rid of Yuan Feiyi and King Hu? The Lord got rid of the two in the name of revenge, and he can sit on the supreme throne justifiably."

The eldest princess' analysis is also reasonable. If Chen Zhimo really wants to be emperor, why would he need to bother to help the emperor get rid of Yuan Feiyi and protect the king?With the fighting power of Chen Zhimo's army, even if Yuan Feiyi and King Hu succeeded in seizing the throne, they would not be able to resist Chen Zhimo's attack.

The queen mother closed her eyes and rested her mind: "The queen mother also reminds you, what to do, you can make up your own minds, the queen mother is getting old and tired quickly, you step back, the queen mother is going to rest."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

As soon as the little emperor and the eldest princess withdrew, Shen Hezhong appeared later.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, looked at Shen Hezhong and said, "Cousin, what do you think about this matter?"

Shen Hezhong was terrified, and quickly knelt down and said, "The queen mother can't call a slave like that."

The Queen Mother said sternly: "What are you afraid of? Now that the entire palace is in my hands, are you afraid that others will know your identity?"

Shen Hezhong said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, be careful when sailing for thousands of years."

The queen mother sighed: "It's up to you, you have worked hard these years."

Shen Hezhong smiled: "One family does not speak two different languages."

The queen mother nodded, and smiled gratifiedly, then looked down at Shen Hezhong, motioning for him to answer the first question.

Shen Hezhong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is kind, the eldest princess loves the Duke of Zhen, and she can't bear to fall out with the Duke of Zhen, why not marry the eldest princess to the Duke of Zhen?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Being an in-law of the royal family does not eliminate the desire for power in people's hearts. Eunuch Shen, if Lord Zhenguo really has the heart of disobedience, the Ai family hopes that you will know what to do. There are some things that are inconvenient for His Majesty to do. "

Shen Hezhong straightened his expression, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, this servant will surely keep the royal family safe. If someone commits a dishonorable act, this servant will take his head as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the queen mother nodded in relief and closed her eyes slightly.

Shen Hezhong resigned softly. He has never revealed his identity as an immortal cultivator. Even if Yuan Feiyi and King Hu suppressed the little emperor many times, he never considered assassinating them.

But this time, the queen mother actually moved to assassinate Chen Zhimo, and Shen Hezhong's cultivation would be exposed at that time, so it was impossible for him to stay in the palace anymore, and he would even be blamed by Wen Tianjian and die die.

The empress dowager's suspicion, the little emperor's vacillations, and the rumors and gossips among the people were quickly dispelled by Chen Zhimo's series of actions.

Chen Zhimo first handed in the seal of Marshal of Zhen Guo, resigned from all positions in the army, and handed over the military power to the little emperor.

Then it is suggested that the little emperor introduce a new military policy, strengthen the rule of the imperial power over the military power, and disperse his capable generals into different camps to prevent people from forming cliques.

In the end, he persuaded Mu Shaocong to hand over his military power. So far, all the military power of the Shucang Kingdom has been brought into the hands of the little emperor.

The little emperor was overjoyed, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous suspicions, so he proposed to reward Chen Zhimo, and moved his heart to be a king, but Chen Zhimo declined politely. From Chen Zhimo's point of view, these are all external things. This is not his purpose in life.

One day, the little emperor and Chen Zhimo were admiring the flowers in the back garden. After chatting for a while, the two came to a pavilion.

"I am very grateful for everything Tai Zuo has done for me." The little emperor said peacefully.

Chen Zhimo nodded, expressing his understanding: "The humble minister is not just for His Majesty."

The little emperor smiled lightly and said, "No matter what, I always owe you."

Chen Zhimo also laughed: "If Your Majesty is really sorry, you don't need to reward the humble minister, and protect the Hengkong Group and the minister's family on your behalf."

The little emperor put away his smile: "What does Tai Zuo mean?"

Chen Zhimo turned his head to meet the little emperor's eyes, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch. Now that you are in power, you can also show your ambitions. I believe that your majesty can become an emperor through the ages. I will leave sooner or later."

The little emperor grabbed Chen Zhimo's arm and said nervously, "Wouldn't it be good for Tai Zuo and I to guide the country together? I need Tai Zuo."

Chen Zhimo didn't care about overstepping the rules, and raised his other hand to pat the little emperor's hand to comfort him: "Everyone has different goals in life, let us fight for our own ideals, and your Majesty doesn't need to say anything In other words, I have no intention of staying in Shucang Kingdom from the very beginning, so I ask Your Majesty to promise me that after I leave, I will take good care of the Hengkong Group and my family."

The little emperor held Chen Zhimo's hand tightly, and only then did he feel a wave of reluctance and admiration. It turned out that Chen Zhimo had never put these powers, glory and wealth in his eyes, it was because of his narrow-mindedness. up.

The little emperor nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Tai Zuo, I will definitely do what you told me."

Chen Zhimo smiled slightly: "Thank you."

The little emperor shook his head lightly. The one who really wanted to say thank you should be himself. If Chen Zhimo hadn't appeared, he didn't know how long it would have taken him to get rid of the restraint of the veteran court officials.

"When is Tai Zuo going to leave?"

"Don't worry, there are still many things to do, and now I have no official status."

"Tai Zuo must tell me before leaving."

"It's natural."
