After the emperor got married, he collapsed and set up

"Meet sir."

Zhou Zhenzhen changed into a skirt, and when she came over, she bowed very politely to Yang Yanqing and then knelt down on the soft cushion opposite Yang Yanqing.

Yang Yanqing didn't know when the reclining chair was moved away, and at this time he was also kneeling in front of the small table. There was a pot of tea and a plate of icing fruit on the table. Smoke, a faint sandalwood aroma.

"I won't accept you, but I will try my best to teach you whatever your Highness needs." Yang Yanqing refused Zhou Zhenzhen's gesture of pouring tea, poured a cup into the teacup and placed it in front of Zhou Zhenzhen, "Your Highness, between you and me, but It's a deal. And I'm just a counselor and aide that His Highness can trust for the time being."

"Why are you so unfeeling, sir?" The little girl bit her lower lip and said sullenly, "You could accept students back then, why can't you accept me now? Maybe a few years later, Zhou State will be returned to Daqing, and there will be no distinction between different countries and different governments, sir. Wouldn't it be safer to accept me now and supervise Zhou's internal affairs with the friendship of a teacher and a student?"

"Teacher-student friendship..." Yang Yanqing smiled, "Your Highness, the first lesson Yang gave His Highness today is, never use the so-called friendship to bind and play politics."

A teacher is like a father, Yang Yanqing has already poured all his heart and soul into that wolf cub.

He will only have one student in his life, and that student is good enough.

"Friendship is the most beautiful and fragile thing. After it is broken, it is a mess. It is really not a useful thing. In this court, there will never be friendship, only interests."

"As a woman, Your Highness, if you really want to fight for the supremacy, you must be more ruthless, colder, and more lonely than those who have friendship in their eyes."

Zhou Zhenzhen's heart trembled slightly, she pondered over Yang Yanqing's words in her heart, and said softly: "Could it be that if you want to sit in that position, you are destined to become a ruthless person?"

"Your Highness doesn't need to be cruel, but you can also be affectionate - as long as you can bear the heartbreaking pain of loss, the heart-piercing pain of trust and betrayal, and be worthy of those dead souls who supported His Highness after the soft heart failed." Yang Yanqing was facing Zhou Zhenzhen at this time. At that time, the attitude was no longer facing a little girl who met by chance, but really put her in the position of the king who will teach and assist in the future, "Your Highness, first of all, you must be clear, what you...or us, are going to do- "

"It's called treason."

Zhou Zhenzhen's face turned pale. All along, she thought that what she was doing and working hard for was what the national teacher said to obey the destiny, and what her father said was to protect the people. She never thought deeply about what she was about to embark on. What kind of path—or rather, she didn't want to think about it.

"What I used to do was to support the young emperor and help the government. Thousands of rebels were beheaded in my hands, and blood was bleeding outside the Qinzheng Hall." Yang Yanqing still had a smile on his face, gentle and gentle, just like He was talking about a commendable story in a certain storybook, "His Royal Highness, since ancient times, the failure of conspiracy has never been the success or failure of an individual, but the success or failure of a group of people tied together on a boat with their interests. If it succeeds, Your Highness It is the first empress in the history of the Zhou Kingdom, and whether she is really willing to lead the Zhou Kingdom to surrender to Daqing is also His Highness's own decision."

"If you lose, just like when I wiped out the remnants of the chaotic party, none of the people behind His Highness will survive."

The world is impermanent, and even Yang Yanqing never imagined that one day he would sit in the territory of the enemy country, thinking about the plot he once hated to the extreme.

Seeing the uneasy look in the eyes of the little girl sitting across from her, Yang Yanqing sighed and said, "I won't ask His Highness who is standing behind her, and what bargaining chips she has in her hand, but if His Highness really wants me to make a move." The most basic point of assisting His Highness to ascend the throne is to tell me no matter what happens or what you want to do, no matter how big or small it is.”

Zhou Zhenzhen is different from Xiao Yun, she is the youngest and most favored daughter of the first emperor of Zhou Guo. She lived a life of being a jewel in the palm of his hand when the first emperor was alive. It also made Emperor Zhou not pay too much attention to this younger sister who would not fight for the throne.

There is still a kind of innocence in her eyes, but the first thing Yang Yanqing has to do now is to crush this innocence, let her know that the road ahead is not the ups and downs in a beautiful story, It's a conspiracy that kills without a knife, without blood in words.

The people behind Zhou Zhenzhen can't be loyal to this naive little girl, they may be loyal to the past emperor, or they may be the generational masters who have been rooted in Zhou Kingdom for an unknown period of time, and what Zhou Zhenzhen wants to do , the first is to really take these people with different minds for their own use.

Otherwise, Zhou Zhenzhen would never have the right to make a decision even if she ascended to the throne in the future under the strife of various forces.For Yang Yanqing, this can be said to be a deal that is not worth the candle.

"But... how do we subdue them?" Zhou Zhenzhen frowned. Those people were all the teachers left by the late emperor to teach her, or the eunuchs and eunuchs who could protect her from growing up in the inner court. They all treated her with respect Never half a sentence is not, "What is considered subjugation?"

"When His Highness needs them to die, and they do so without hesitation, they can truly be regarded as His Highness's people."

"It's impossible!" Zhou Zhenzhen subconsciously said, "Maybe the maids and nurses in the inner court can do it, but Teacher and the others..."

"Your Highness can do it." Yang Yanqing raised his hand to sip his tea, and said unhurriedly, "Because of me."

"But..." Zhou Zhenzhen bit her lower lip after uttering these two hesitant words. In fact, she knew very well that everything Yang Yanqing said now was the truth.

Now the people in her hands, the forces behind her, and those who are loyal to her are not her. Only the invisible and incomprehensible alien in front of her is the person who really has an interest transaction with Zhou Zhenzhen, and maybe it is possible He is the only one who has the same purpose as Zhou Zhenzhen.

In a daze, Zhou Zhenzhen suddenly understood what Yang Yanqing said.

Yes, on this road, the strongest bond to maintain the cooperative forces has never been love, but interests.

Love is too illusory, and human nature is difficult to measure quantitatively. Only interests are eternal things that can be manipulated.

Zhou Zhenzhen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was unprecedented determination and burning in them, which was the desire for power.

She cupped her hands again, but this time she didn't express her determination forcefully: "Please teach me, sir!"

It is good to have desires.

The corners of Yang Yanqing's lips turned up slightly. This little girl is a malleable talent, very smart and knowledgeable about current affairs. Apart from things such as vision and knowledge that can be easily taught, she is still missing the last point.

means and heart.

Something that Xiao Yun, a wolf cub who struggled to survive since he was a child, had it from the very beginning.

"Your Highness thinks, what kind of person is the imperial concubine of the Lian family?"

Zhou Zhenzhen closed her eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said: "She is a beautiful woman, she has a beautiful and weak appearance, and she always maintains a good appearance. It is at the most beautiful age of a woman. She eats fast and recites Buddha every day, but she can stay the same for more than ten years. The day firmly grasped the heart of the emperor's brother, so that after the emperor's accession to the throne, regardless of the stability of the throne, he was slightly instigated and attacked the Feng family. It's just that she has only one daughter under her knees, and there is no prince. I heard that the emperor's brother I have always wanted the imperial concubine to give birth to a prince."

"She never seems to care about the concubines in the palace fighting for favor, the harem fighting, and she doesn't intervene to stop the hot power of her mother's family. Even though the Lian family is now in a very dangerous situation, she just looks on." Zhou Zhenzhen recalled the woman in her memory. Woman, the more you sort it out, the more you can see things that you haven't discovered before, "She... is different from those concubines in the harem, she really... loves the emperor brother?"

When Zhou Zhenzhen came to this conclusion, she was a little surprised.Even she understands that it is an outrageous and suicidal act for a woman in the harem to love an emperor wholeheartedly with a heart, not to mention that her imperial brother is not a kind of love, Sangong Sixth Court, Yan is fat and thin, and although the emperor's brother gave her the status and favor of being above ten thousand people in the harem, she is nothing more than a concubine.

Zhou Zhenzhen no longer asked Yang Yanqing, but took her breath lightly thinking about the key points. If the imperial concubine did something, she was worried that her children would be retribution, so eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name was a matter of course, but this had nothing to do with their purpose what relationship?

In other words, why was Lian Huang Guifei raised by the husband alone?Why is she so special?

... As a woman who has been with the emperor since the time of the prince, and later gave up the position of concubine for the great cause of her husband so that her beloved husband can marry a more helpful woman, she is not only the most beloved concubine of the emperor, but also her different origins Yu the emperor's trust in him wholeheartedly!

is trust.

Zhou Zhenzhen suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Yang Yanqing: "Sir, you want me to get close to the imperial concubine, and use the imperial concubine's hand to influence the decision-making of the imperial brother?"

Yang Yanqing smiled and said, "Good."

"But the imperial concubine's whole heart is on the emperor's brother..."

"That was before Emperor Zhou became emperor." A sneer appeared on Yang Yanqing's face, "Strong and pure love is the easiest to breed more raging hatred. The more desperate the previous relationship, the more I want to be with you." The matching love back.

And the more you give, the strongest hatred will be brewed after that heart is trampled under the feet of the emperor and lightly stuffed into treasure rewards as compensation. "

"With the lessons learned from the Feng family's past, it is impossible for the Zhou emperor to appoint other women as queens. In the emperor's harem, apart from the queen, the concubine who is favored is nothing more than a concubine."

"What Your Highness has to do is to pour hot oil on top of this hatred, so that the person next to the pillow that Emperor Zhou trusts like his left and right hands can fight for things that Emperor Zhou is unwilling to give, so that Emperor Zhou can be jealous and jealous of even his family. , will one day raise the butcher's knife."

"The fall of a Feng family who assisted the emperor can be regarded as the emperor wanting to take power, but if another Lian family who did all the dirty things for the emperor fell, such a heartless and ungrateful emperor, how shallow-sighted it would be Will the aristocratic family choose to continue seeking skins from tigers?"

"But the imperial concubine does not hold the phoenix seal of the harem, and has never participated in common affairs of the harem battles. Usually, she does not leave the gate without leaving the door. How can I get close?"

Over the years, there were countless people who wanted to follow the imperial concubine's line to influence Lian's family or compete for favor, but the fact is that no one in the previous court and harem could impress this impeccable imperial concubine.

"Such a woman should have been a lotus flower in the eyes of men, the most perfect softness hanging on her husband's body, gentle and kind, but why does she eat fast every day and associate with Buddhist scriptures?" ?” Yang Yanqing clicked lightly, and the click stopped.

Zhou Zhenzhen followed Yang Yanqing's train of thought to guess: "What did she do?"

Yang Yanqing shook his head, smiled slightly, and circled his fingers around the curling smoke from the incense burner: "It's a child."

"Child...princess?"

"The imperial concubine may love her husband more, but at the same time, she must have put in a lot of hard work if the princess born to the concubine can survive the harem tricks. Your highness is also a princess, and she is about to discuss marriage when she is old. This will be an extreme event. It is a good excuse to visit this beloved concubine who ignores the common affairs of the harem and is not affected by the power of the previous dynasty."

"His Royal Highness is different from the others. He doesn't seek the favor of the emperor or the politics of the previous dynasty. He is just a powerless little princess who was once spoiled by the late emperor. What a good disguise."

"After all, who would doubt a princess who is worried about her own fate and wants to follow the path of an imperial concubine to help find out the emperor's heart?"

***

"Then the wife of the Heqi Villa looks like a quack at first glance. To be able to marry the owner of the Heqi Villa, she must prefer men over women. For some reason, even the eldest lady seems to be fascinated. Run with people."

"Isn't it? I don't know how outstanding it is!"

"Tsk, don't you understand this? Does the eldest lady of the Lian family want anything? What are you talking about sincerity? It's probably only sweet if you can't catch up~ No matter how much we like our mother-in-law passing by the building, don't we have to glance at it? Is this the reason?"

"Oh hello! Watch your mouth carefully! Are there not many people who died under Miss Lian's whip? My little nephew from the house next door pointed at Miss Lian before. The doll was whipped to death on the spot!"

"Speaking of which, two days ago I was outside the city and saw the wife of Heqi Villa throw Miss Lian and a whip into the moat! That really didn't save any face! It's so fierce! How relieved!"

"Really? Even the family can bear it?"

"It's strange to say... Sigh, have you guys been in trouble lately? Even the housekeepers who are hard-charging the rent haven't come these few days, so I'm not used to it..."

"The past few days seem to be a lot more stable and peaceful... Could it be that something happened?"

……

Recently, Yang Yanqing could always smell blood from Xiao Jinghe's body. At the beginning, after checking that there were no wounds on Xiao Jinghe's body, he let him go. Until this day, when Xiao Jinghe came back in the middle of the night, there was still a forearm stuck through his forearm. Yu Jian couldn't help but push him down on the bed and began to question him.

"What have you been doing these days?" Yang Yanqing ruthlessly pulled out the arrow body and threw it into a copper basin beside him, frowning and asking coldly while cleaning Xiao Jinghe's wound.

Xiao Jinghe said: "Mr. will know by tomorrow at the latest."

Yang Yanqing's subordinate said: "With the martial arts of the prince, what kind of dragon's lake and tiger's den did he break into to be injured like this?"

"It's not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it's just that someone waited for a rabbit." Although he was injured, the waiter was killed on the spot, and he didn't even touch his shadow.

Oh, it can't be said that, those people still got some things... For example, the thing he used for the assassination was the whip of the young lady of the Lian family.

Xiao Jinghe looked at Yang Yanqing's reflection in his eyes and couldn't help but want to tease him. He also didn't want to answer Yang Yanqing's question, so he stretched his neck and stole a kiss on Yang Yanqing's cheek, breathing warmly Densely wrapped around the base of this person's ears, and slowly moved down along the skin that was beginning to turn red.

"Sir, do you feel distressed?"

Yang Yanqing was too familiar with Xiao Jinghe's eyes at this time, and tightly tied a beautiful knot with his gauze-wrapped hands, and said with a straight face: "It's all like this and it doesn't stop! Next time I see this arrow sticks to the next three ways you How dare you wave!"

Xiao Jinghe rubbed Yang Yanqing's side face with the tip of his nose, and laughed in a low voice: "Why, sir, you are only allowed to make fun of yourself, and don't let this king follow suit?"

Yang Yanqing, who finds it increasingly difficult to verbally bully Xiao Jinghe recently: "..."

Throwing the blood-stained gauze into the copper basin on the side, Yang Yanqing took off the coat he had just put on, straddled Xiao Jinghe's legs and lay down on the inner side of the bed with a peaceful expression, covered himself with the quilt properly, and used his actions to stop thinking about it. A man who wants to come up.

Xiao Jinghe habitually reached out to embrace Yang Yanqing, but was kicked to the edge of the bed by a kick stretched out from under the quilt.

The strength of this kick was controlled just right, even if Xiao Jinghe wanted to fall and play tricks, he was still close.

Without even opening his eyes, Yang Yanqing snorted softly, "The smell of blood and medicine all over your body, stay away from me."

Xiao Jinghe: "..."

He never expected that after entering the room and going to bed, he could still be locked out of the quilt by his wife.

...failed.

The author has something to say:

Master Yang's double standard:

Conspiring rebellion in Daqing, killing without pardon; conspiring rebellion in Zhou State, thinking carefully and choosing the sharpest knife to hand over.
