Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

The main reason why the courtiers dared to fight with Chu Xin without fearing civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty was because of Lin Wan, who secretly supported them.

More importantly, there is also a rumored King of Qin in the Zhou royal family.

As the only close relative of Her Majesty the Empress, Chu Mo, the mysterious King of Qin, had an infinitely greater role in the eyes of the Zhou courtiers.

Most of the courtiers believed that the reason why Her Majesty the Empress did not let her brother appear in front of others was because he had physical defects and was not suitable for seeing others.

Or, he just doesn't like his brother and puts him under house arrest in disguise.

And based on the clues they have.

This brother of Her Majesty the Empress had shown his face to many people when he was in Luoyang City.

The other party is definitely not disabled or suffering from any hidden disease as rumored by the outside world.

Since he is not suffering from a hidden disease, he cannot be seen by others.

The Empress has not allowed her to communicate with the outside world. The only explanation is that she is guarding against her brother.

As a result, the courtiers focused on Chu Mo based on the answers they guessed.

According to their thinking, Her Majesty the Empress has won the love and support of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is definitely impossible to overthrow the Great Zhou regime and establish a new regime to compete with the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention whether he has the strength, even if he successfully overthrew the rule of Her Majesty the Empress and sent her to the guillotine.

How to appease the people of Zhou Dynasty? How to appease those generals who are leading troops abroad? This is a big problem.

One bad move can tear them to pieces.

They just don't want the tyrant Chu Xin to rule them, and they don't really want to rebel and seek death.

Therefore, after much thought, I can only place my hope on Chu Mo, the King of Qin.

Originally, the courtiers had another idea, that is, to select a royal wife for Her Majesty the Empress as soon as possible, so that they could give birth to a prince or princess as soon as possible, so that Da Zhou would have a new heir.

They like to use tricks to kill Her Majesty the Empress, and then support the new Emperor to ascend to the throne.

As long as the new emperor comes to power, then these courtiers will be sure to control the court and use the new emperor as a puppet in their hands, allowing the Great Zhou Dynasty to gradually change hands.

But I don’t know why, Her Majesty the Empress is indifferent to the matter of choosing a husband, and even has some resistance and taboo.

This question has even become a taboo in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is basically a taboo topic that anyone who raises it will die.

In desperation, the courtiers had no choice but to find another way and target Chu Mo.

But no matter how hard they tried and how they investigated, they were still unable to find out even the most basic information about King Qin.

Originally, the courtiers had made up their minds today and decided to work together to force Her Majesty to compromise and agree to choose a husband.

Not only that, the courtiers even identified hundreds of handsome men with various looks and civilized skills for Her Majesty the Empress, in order to impress Her Majesty the Empress.

But they didn't expect that when Her Majesty the Empress went to court, she would bring a foreigner with her, catching them off guard.

However, the plan has been made. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead, the courtiers can only bite the bullet and move forward.

But what made them even more unexpected was that the foreign man Her Majesty the Empress brought today was none other than King Qin, Chu Mo, whom they had been thinking about day and night and couldn't get any information about despite all their efforts.

When Her Majesty the Empress called Chu Mo's name, all the civil and military officials were filled with excitement. They wished they could kick Chu Xin away right now and welcome Chu Mo as the new emperor.

But reason still kept these ministers calm and allowed them to wait and see the development of the situation.

After all, none of them now know what kind of medicine Her Majesty the Empress is selling in the gourd, or whether the other party has known about their plot and brought Chu Mo out to disgust them.

Sure enough, when Chu Mo opened his mouth and pointed the muzzle at Jiang Zhe, the official minister named by Chu Xin first, everyone's hearts were lifted.

It seems that King Qin's visit today was indeed arranged in advance and he was a pawn for Her Majesty the Empress.

When they heard that Chu Mo asked Jiang Zhe to help Her Majesty the Empress solve her problems, everyone raised their ears and waited carefully for the other party to make a move.

Jiang Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Chu Mo flatteringly and said:

"Then I don't know what worries your majesty has that can be shared by the ministers. King Qin might as well talk about it and listen to it."

Chu Mo looked back at Chu Xin, who was expressionless, and then looked at the courtiers kneeling neatly in the hall. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he directly lifted Jiang Zhe's black gauze hat and held it in his hand. He played with it for a while, and then said slowly:

"I don't know what worries Her Majesty the Empress has, but I do know that there are so many corpses kneeling in this hall, and idiots occupying the latrine and not taking a shit, it is really an eyesore."

"Master Jiang, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, should know the specific situation of officials at all levels. I wonder if your Excellency can point out to me some people who have corpses and have a vegetarian diet? I can take them down and present them to Your Majesty to make Your Majesty happy. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

They didn't expect that Chu Mo would be so straightforward and directly in front of so many people, asking Jiang Zhe to report his colleagues and point out the corpse of the person who was a vegetarian.

You must know that this is above the court. If Jiang Zhe really follows Chu Mo's words and points out one or two people who are dead, then the other party will definitely be dismissed from office and punished by Her Majesty the Empress.

But if Jiang Zhe didn't follow Chu Mo's words, or acted carelessly, the other party would definitely seize this excuse and accuse Jiang Zhe of being a vegetarian.

Now Jiang Zhe has only two choices, either to die himself, or to pull in a few backers and let the other party die to save himself.

But no matter what Jiang Zhe chooses, their temporary alliance of interests will definitely collapse in an instant.

What frightens them even more is that if the damn King of Qin doesn't respect martial ethics, and after persecuting Jiang Zhe, he comes to persecute other officials, then where will they go?

In an instant, the entire court became panicked, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Mo and Jiang Zhe.

Chu Xin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also looked at Chu Mo in surprise.

Originally, after she knew the intentions of the courtiers, she had already made up her mind. Today she vowed to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and give these overfed officials, who were full of shit, a bloody lesson.

But thinking that Chu Mo had just arrived, he was worried that Chu Mo would be ostracized in the future, so he deliberately let him show his face in front of the ministers.

If possible, Chu Xin also wanted to use Chu Mo to divide the courtiers.

What she didn't expect was that Chu Mo, a troublemaker, lived up to his name and gave herself a big surprise when he arrived.
