I made millions after becoming a tyrant's concubine

Outside the hall, it started to snow again. I don't know how long it will take for such a heavy snowfall in the depths of winter.

Qian Yanzhi was already hungry when he came out of the Chuande Hall, Huo Zheng held his hand, and was about to go back to the Changning Hall for dinner, but Duan Yi, the commander of the imperial army, came in a hurry and bowed to Huo Zheng at the bottom of the steps, With a solemn look, he said:

"Your Majesty, just now the people from the prison came to report... that He Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and the assassin were killed in the prison."

Qian Yanzhi looked shocked: "Who did it? This is obviously a person who is going to be sentenced to death. Why did you go to the prison to kill someone? No one found out?"

Duan Yi shook his head, and looked at Huo Zheng furtively: "Your Majesty, at this moment, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment are pleading guilty outside the Hall of Wende."

Huo Zheng raised his head and looked at the heavy snow that covered the sky. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and sighed, saying:

"Give those two lovers something to keep warm, and send them out of the palace. Since the real murderer behind the scenes is dead, let the world know and give the family justice."

Qian Yanzhi was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, why don't you stop looking for this murderer?"

Huo Zheng stared sideways at him for a while, and didn't answer him directly, but just held his hand tightly and went back to Changning Hall for breakfast.

Although Qian Yanzhi didn't return all night, there was plenty of charcoal fire in Changning Hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he was surrounded by warmth, dispelling the chill all over his body.

Perhaps Huo Zheng had already made arrangements, and breakfast was already prepared on the table.

Qian Yanzhi found that thanks to being in the palace, three meals a day can not only fill him up, but also eat them in different ways, especially for a breakfast meal, there are many choices, so Qian Yanzhi is naturally very happy accept.

The main hall of the Changning Palace was very quiet, Qian Yanzhi just sat and ate, usually he talked the most, but today it was unusually quiet.

The more so, the more intense the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Holding the jade bowl in Huo Zheng's hand, he looked up at Qian Yanzhi, who was eating crystal buns with his head bowed. Qian Yanzhi's side face was beautiful, and his skin was as white as porcelain. He seemed to be walking back from the snow just now. Because of the warmth in the room, the eyes and the tip of the nose are pink.

He was eating seriously, and the muscles on his face moved when he bit his mouth together. The more he watched, the better Huo Zheng's mood became. He couldn't help eating another spoonful of porridge, and then he put down the jade bowl and said:

"A Yan, in the future, you can also accompany me to have breakfast."

Qian Yanzhi stopped chewing, just looked sideways at Huo Zheng, carefully swallowed the food in his mouth, recalled the confession from last night in his mind, and blushed instantly:

"I...I don't want to. It's good for me to have breakfast alone."

Qian Yanzhi was stubborn, but when he saw that Huo Zheng was still staring at him, he immediately looked away.

Huo Zheng said: "I don't know who it was last night. They spoke so boldly and unrestrainedly, but now they will be shy."

When Qian Yanzhi said this, he immediately looked at him: "It's me, what's the matter, can't I be shy?"

"Yes." Huo Zheng said.

Qian Yanzhi snorted softly, with a bit of complacency on his face, looked sideways at Huo Zheng and said, "Then let's talk about it first, I confessed to you because you said you couldn't do without me first, you have to be responsible to me, don't think that I didn't hear it."

Huo Zheng nodded, the corners of his lips slightly raised, but he didn't refuse, then he got up and said, "You can come to Wende Palace for lunch, I'm waiting for you."

Without waiting for Qian Yanzhi's answer, Huo Zheng called Li Lin to put on a cloak for him, and left Changning Hall with a hand stove in his hand.

The moment the palace door opened, the cold wind that poured into his face was slightly chilly, and Qian Yanzhi realized how hot his cheeks were.

It seemed that since the confession last night, the relationship between him and Huo Zheng seemed to have gotten closer. The two of them had done everything before, but now they suddenly became shy.

Just inviting him to Wende Palace for dinner at noon made him so happy. If he was invited to go on a date, would he suffer from insomnia all night?

Qian Yanzhi felt that he was not stable enough, and he was too happy. He had to learn from Huo Zheng.

Qian Yanzhi adjusted his breathing before continuing to eat breakfast.

Now that it is mid-winter and the end of the new year is approaching, one of the two young ministers of Honglu Temple was killed and the other died in prison, but Zhengqing Zhen Huanian fell ill at this moment, and he was unable to arrange the annual banquet in the palace .

Fortunately, Huo Zheng acted quickly enough, and selected two officials with outstanding achievements from other posts in Honglu Temple to promote them, so the annual banquet in the palace was carried out in an orderly manner.

After all, at the New Year's Eve banquet at the end of the year, all civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor will celebrate the New Year with the emperor in the Zichen Palace. Only at night can they spend the New Year with their families.

So the arrangement of this year's banquet is very important.

After the manpower of Honglu Temple has been arranged, Huo Zheng can start to arrange many matters of the New Deal.

However, the implementation of the New Deal was not smooth, and there were several ministers standing in the Hall of Wende with solemn expressions, all of them buried their heads and did not dare to look at Huo Zheng at all.

Huo Zheng stared at the memorial in his hand as usual, then opened his lips and said:

"Is it really so difficult to implement the New Deal?"

The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, after the death of King Zicheng..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a ruthless gaze above his head, and he immediately changed his words:

"After Ni Wang forced the palace to fail and committed suicide, most of the royal relatives and relatives were in danger. They were afraid that His Majesty would sit down again. The new policy implemented this time has greatly weakened their prestige, so after the new policy has been implemented in the jurisdictions governed by the princes, it cannot be implemented further down."

Huo Zheng stared at the people standing in the hall, and threw the memorial in his hand aside:

"Is this calling me wrong?"

The Prime Minister said: "Ni Wang is responsible for his own crimes, and he can force the palace to rebel by listening to rumors. His Majesty has never been implicated, it is already generous, but they don't want to be grateful."

Huo Zheng got up and said, "The implementation of the new policy is imperative now. Except for the places where the royal family members have been hindered, the implementation of the new policy in other places is very harmonious, and the people's response is particularly good. As for the other family members..."

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is better not to confront the clan members head-on." One of the ministers bowed suddenly and said.

Huo Zheng looked at him directly: "The reason."

"Your Majesty, you can send troops to attack the chaos in the world, but you will always be with your majesty in the chaos of the clan. If your majesty is too harsh, I am afraid that people in the world will say that your majesty is unkind. Do it yourself," said the courtier.

Huo Zheng's eyes didn't blink for a moment. According to his aggressive nature, mistakes must be punished. He didn't want to be burdened with the same chaos as Jing Yuan after he ascended the throne, and then he was exhausted.

But now that the courtiers are preventing him from killing to establish his prestige, he has to fall into thinking.

"Back off, I'll think about it again." Huo Zheng said.

Several courtiers in Wende Hall looked at each other after saluting, and exited the main hall.

But watching Qian Yanzhi approaching from the high platform in front of him, several people saluted one after another.

Qian Yanzhi came to accompany Huo Zheng for dinner, so he naturally returned his greetings with a smile on his face, but he was stopped by the prime minister before he took two steps.

The prime minister recognized him, the person who had rescued Huo Zheng in the former emperor's sacrificial hall was also Huo Zheng's sweetheart, the Shaoyuan Lord in the harem, and the same imperial concubine.

Qian Yanzhi asked: "Your Excellency, what do you have to say about keeping me?"

The prime minister bowed to him and said: "Mr. Shaoyuan is smart, and to be loved by His Majesty must be superior. Your Majesty has encountered a difficult situation right now. I beg you, Mr. Shaoyuan, to persuade you and don't let your Majesty do it alone."

Qian Yanzhi looked puzzled: "Because of the New Deal?"

The prime minister nodded, and roughly explained to Qian Yanzhi why the New Deal could not be implemented, and then said:

"Although His Majesty is a bit cruel in killing and attacking, he is kind to the people of the world. He may not be a benevolent king, but he is a king who thinks of the people."

Qian Yanzhi heard a bit of regret in the prime minister's tone, and watched the progress bar of the plot stop at 92%, and couldn't help but say:

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I know, but no one is perfect, and I can't guarantee that His Majesty will love everyone, but what I can guarantee is that His Majesty will never kill a good person unjustly, and His Majesty will know about the prime minister's kindness. "

The prime minister bowed to Qian Yanzhi again, sent Qian Yanzhi into Wende Hall, and then left.

As soon as Qian Yanzhi stepped into the hall, he felt the oppression in the hall. He suddenly regretted it. The system didn't issue a task, but Huo Zheng asked him to come over for dinner. Why did he come.

As he was thinking in his heart, he just turned around and wanted to leave when he heard Huo Zheng's voice from inside the hall:

"Why come and go?"

Qian Yanzhi raised a smiling face, then went in bravely, met Huo Zheng's deep and peaceful eyes, and said with a smile: "I heard that the prime minister said that your majesty is angry, so I dare not come here, for fear that your majesty will vent his anger on me. "

Qian Yanzhi pursed his lips with his hands behind his back, and walked in front of Huo Zheng with a bit of grievance and caution.

However, when Huo Zheng saw him, the annoyance in his heart gradually dissipated: "Are you hungry?"

Qian Yanzhi nodded truthfully: "I walked here, I'm hungry."

Huo Zheng hurriedly got up and ordered Li Lin to pass on the meal, and then he took Qian Yanzhi into the warm pavilion, and poured hot tea for him after sitting down.

Qian Yanzhi looked at him quietly: "Does Your Majesty really not need my help?"

Huo Zheng raised his eyes and stared in response: "Then what can you do?"

Qian Yanzhi thought for a while, and then said seriously: "If you kill them, whoever dares to refuse to accept and obstruct the implementation of the New Deal will kill everyone."

Huo Zheng looked at Qian Yanzhi's serious look, and suddenly smiled: "What are you paying attention to?"

Qian Yanzhi said: "Your Majesty's new policy is for the people of the world. These clansmen want to fight against His Majesty for their own selfish desires. Naturally, they cannot be kept. Instead of keeping them as thorns in the flesh, it is better to strike first, one by one. , to smooth out those in the way."

Huo Zheng hurriedly turned his head and said, "Are you mocking me?"

Qian Yanzhi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Your Majesty is talking nonsense, I am not ridiculed, and I dare not."

Huo Zheng said: "If it was in the past, I really want to do this."

Qian Yanzhi just listened quietly.

"After Huo Zong's death, everyone in these clans was in danger, and I can understand their desire to protect themselves." Huo Zheng said, "But what I don't understand is that Huo Zong died of conspiracy to force the palace, why they reacted like this strong."

Qian Yanzhi pondered for a moment: "Is Your Majesty listening to the truth?"

Huo Zheng looked at him, nodded his head and said.

Qian Yanzhi said: "Because your majesty is not the son of the first emperor, although he is related to them, he was not born to the first empress after all, and his birth mother, Empress Dowager Yang, is of humble status. In the end, it was His Majesty who became emperor."

"If Huo Zong is not dead, they will not be convinced. Once Huo Zong dies, they will naturally feel that His Majesty is taking revenge, and they will also feel that they cannot escape. Naturally, they will do everything for their own benefit."

"So they will obstruct the implementation of the New Deal. Although they are competing with His Majesty, they are actually asking His Majesty for a favor, and they will not attack them."

Huo Zheng listened carefully to Qian Yanzhi's analysis, and then said: "I actually know what's going on."

Qian Yanzhi was puzzled: "Then what is His Majesty worrying about?"

Huo Zheng said: "Are there any members of the royal family..."

Huo Zheng stopped short, but didn't point it out, but this sentence made Qian Yanzhi's head full of doubts. He wanted to ask several times, but he always felt that it was not appropriate.

Since Huo Zheng didn't say anything, there was always a reason why he didn't say it.

But he was curious again, why Huo Zheng half-spoken, it was so annoying!

Qian Yanzhi was scratching his head, trying to decipher the meaning of the remaining half of the sentence, but even if he used the system, he couldn't find it in the end. It was really annoying, and he had to give up in the end.
