Huaqing Palace, the dormitory of Concubine Chen.

Liang Zhen walked up the steps, and before entering the door, the leader of the Imperial Guard, who was ordered to stay behind, whispered to him: "The first few days, Niangniang has been yelling to go out, and her mouth... is a little dirty, but it has stopped for the past two days. Now, people look silly, laughing and crying for a while..."

Liang Zhen's eyes flashed a sigh of relief, and he pushed the door and went inside.

Concubine Chen Gui was sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled and her knees folded. Where there was still half of the splendid beauty of the past, Liang Zhen looked at it coldly, remembering what she said when she insisted on entering the palace that day, "Everyone in the family said that I was with my second uncle. If I look alike, even if I were a woman, Your Majesty would like it." His expression became even colder.

When Concubine Chen heard the sound, she slowly raised her head, looked at Liang Zhen with no warm eyes, and was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and sneered: "When will King Zhao intend to put me under house arrest? Why did His Majesty die? can not go?"

"The late emperor passed away, and the concubine, the concubine, was too heartbroken and couldn't afford to stay on the bed, so she couldn't keep the spirit of the late emperor," Liang Zhen said in a light voice, paused for a while, and continued, "The maiden thought of the late emperor so much that she had no interest in living, so she went with the late emperor. went."

Concubine Chen Gui was stunned, her whole body trembled, and she was very sad and angry: "You want to kill me, but you want to kill me... Then what kind of crazy soup did Zhu Yunxuan pour into you?! You robbed Qiong'er of the throne for him. You want to kill us! We made it clear at the beginning, you and I are both surnamed Liang, aren't you good at being the regent?! Why do you do such a thing that hurts others and not yourself?!"

Liang Zhen disagreed: "The maiden is wrong, you are the only one who will die. His Highness, the ninth highness, is still a child. What does he know? You poisoned the incense used by the late emperor, causing the late emperor to stay ill and unable to heal for a long time. I want to continue. ?"

Concubine Chen Gui's teeth were trembling, and she glared at Liang Zhen: "You already knew, you obviously acquiesced, you..."

"How could I have known so long ago?" Liang Zhen interrupted her rudely, reminding her in a cold voice: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, you also know that you are the Liang family, so as to prevent the Liang family from being wiped out because of you. , then go on your way."

Concubine Chen Gui's eyes were red, and she wished she could rush to tear up Liang Zhen, but suddenly burst into laughter: "For the Liang family? Hahaha, you don't care about the Liang family at all, I'm afraid you won't blink too much if the Liang family is dead. Look at your eyes, why don't you just say this in public, so that the emperor Zhu Yunxuan is more justifiable? You are not for the Liang family at all! You just want everyone in the world to question whether Zhu Yunxuan's position is right, so he can only rely on you You kept Qiong’er to remind him about it all the time! I thought you and him were so indestructible, you are trying to help him and guarding him like this, are you interested?! If my Qiong’er sits on the In that position, what's wrong with the world in your hands?!"

Liang Zhen smiled contemptuously: "You're not stupid, but you still think wrong. If I really want this world, what if I sit in this Zhu family's country? This position was originally prepared for me by the late emperor, your son. It's just a puppet he left for me. You know it well, but you are still dreaming of the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary without hesitation. Originally, I did make your wish come true, but you are unlucky. Some people and things are more interesting to me, and I naturally have to follow my own sexuality."

"You lunatic!"

A word of "casual nature" was the whole reason for him to stir up the storm. Concubine Chen cursed hysterically, but she didn't know whether the crazy one was Liang Zhen or her.

Liang Zhen looked at her indifferently: "When death is imminent, you should shout a few words to save your strength, I wish Yunqiong is yours after all, if you die, he can still live, if you insist on dragging him to die, I will too. I don't mind sending you along on the road."

Concubine Chen Gui slumped softly and closed her eyes in pain.

Ganlin Palace.

Three days later will be the day of the enthronement ceremony. The officials of the Ministry of Rites are reporting the procedures and matters of the ceremony with Zhu Yunxuan. Zhu Yunxuan listens quietly and does not say much. Liang Zhen came in, stood by, did not interrupt them, and listened with great interest. Those officials of the Ministry of Rites were all sincere and fearful. They were more cautious towards Liang Zhen than Zhu Yunxuan, and they were more cautious in their words.

Halfway through hearing this, Liang Zhen suddenly spoke up and asked, "The emperors of all dynasties in all dynasties were enthroned by the chief minister who presented the enthronement edict to the new emperor. Zhang Nianling has now been put to death for his treason. What are you going to do?"

The Minister of Rites, Yan Shixue, replied cautiously: "The ministers and others have tentatively decided that Liu Ge will take care of this matter. Whether it is feasible or not is up to Your Majesty to decide."

This Liu Ge was always the one with the highest ranking among the remaining ministers in the cabinet. He bowed his head first that day, so things could be turned around. Finally, everyone recognized Zhu Yunxuan as the new emperor. It's his turn to say that Zhang Nianling and others have turned their backs, not to mention that he still has merit in supporting the new king, but...

Zhu Yunxuan made a decision in a low voice: "Just follow the old practice of the previous dynasty, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites do it for you, and Yan Qing can do it for you."

Yan Shixue was flustered, suppressed his excitement, and asked hesitantly: "But there is no such case in my court. It has always been the minister of the cabinet to take on this important task. Is it illegal for the minister to do it?"

"It's okay, just you."

Yan Shixue no longer refused, and responded in a loud voice: "The minister leads the order!"

Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes lightly, a ray of thought flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

The officials who were waiting for the event all stepped down, Liang Zhen looked at Zhu Yunxuan and smiled slightly: "Is your majesty planning to lift up this Lord Yan?"

Zhu Yunxuan said calmly: "The cabinet is empty, and there is an urgent need for new people to fill it. Yan Shixue is the Minister of Rites, and it is a logical thing to join the cabinet."

Liang Zhen smiled meaningfully: "Really? Why didn't your majesty say that he is still the father of your fiancee, the future husband of the country?"

As early as more than four years ago, when Zhu Yunxuan was named King Rui, he had already obtained the marriage by finger, and the one that Emperor Zhaoyang pointed to him was the daughter of Yan Shixue. Originally, Zhu Yunxuan should have been married a long time ago, but first the little lady's mother died, and then the death of Emperor Zhaoyang's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Qingren. It was delayed.

Zhu Yunxuan lowered his gaze: "So what?"

"No," Liang Zhen's smile faded away and looked straight at him, "I just remind Your Majesty not to place too much importance on foreign relatives, to avoid disasters in the future."

"King Zhao has been thinking too much," Zhu Yunxuan said coldly, "These shouldn't be things that King Zhao needs to consider."

How could he not know whether it is a good thing to have a big foreign relative? The Xie family is a bright precedent. How bold and reckless Xie Guogong was in those days, and how many disasters have been caused, but what can he do? The remaining ones in the cabinet are all It is not clear that it is related to the person in front of him, can he believe it? Can you believe it? Looking at the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, how many people are there for him?

The four eyes met, and the suspicion and temptation in each other's eyes did not need to be concealed. After a short stalemate, Liang Zhen shook his head: "Does your majesty really look at ministers like this?"

"Where did you go just now?"

Liang Zhen replied calmly: "Huaqing Palace."

Zhu Yunxuan's pupils shrank slightly: "How is Concubine Chen?"

"The noble concubine misses the late emperor too much and is tired of the world, so she has asked for her own burial."

"Where's the ninth brother?"

"His Royal Highness is naturally staying in his bedroom, but the child is too young and he was a little frightened. It's not a big deal." Liang Zhen's eyes were gloomy, his smile was not a smile, and he didn't mean anything.

Zhu Yunxuan suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart, and asked him, "How do you want people to look at you when you are so good?"

Liang Zhen said with a "tsk": "What kind of style? Does Your Majesty still want to kill your brother? How can I not know that Your Majesty is such a ruthless person?"

"You don't have to pretend to me! You kept Zhu Yunqiong to threaten me, why do you say it so nicely?!"

Liang Zhen took a step forward, raised his hand suddenly, and grabbed Zhu Yunxuan by the waist.

Zhu Yunxuan panicked for a moment, glared at him angrily, and said word by word: "Let go, let go, I."

Liang Zhen leaned close to Zhu Yunxuan's ear, and murmured in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, did you plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

There was no one else in the hall, Gao An had already retreated with all of them when they first quarreled, Zhu Yunxuan sneered with red eyes: "Liang Zhen, do you think you can still force me now? I will never be satisfied any longer. Your filthy thoughts!"

"What does your majesty think your ministers want?"

A light laughter broke into Zhu Yunxuan's ears, and with the hot breath that made him stand upright, he paused, and Liang Zhen said again: "Who does your majesty want if you don't want a minister? That Yan family daughter? Your majesty is like this now, Are you satisfied with that little lady?"

"You are presumptuous!"

Zhu Yunxuan was held between the imperial case behind him and Liang Zhen's embrace, unable to move forward or retreat, and trembling with anger, Liang Zhen's body pressed further forward, and the hand on his waist slowly kneaded inch by inch , the method is extraordinarily ambiguous and erotic.

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes and said coldly: "There are still clans and courtiers who came to mourn in the front hall. If you insist on doing this, I will immediately call everyone to see how King Zhao is in this blue sky and daylight, and the funeral of the emperor. , it is better to do such a beast to my new monarch than to do something outrageous."

"Your Majesty can really put down his face to do such a thing?"

"If you don't believe me, try it!"

Liang Zhen's laughter was even stronger: "Your Majesty is now the emperor, and his temper is growing."

Zhu Yunxuan repeated again: "Let go of me."

Liang Zhen turned his head to the side and placed a feather-light kiss on Zhu Yunxuan's hair on the temples. He stepped back without waiting for him to get angry, and stood aside respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, your Ninth Highness must stay at this time. Otherwise, the mouth of the world will be more difficult to block."

Zhu Yunxuan looked at him coldly: "Are you still afraid of this long mouth?"

"My minister is for the sake of His Majesty."

"Ah."

Liang Zhen smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty, why do you treat your minister like a flood of beasts? Since the minister said that he would help you, he would naturally help you. Why don't you believe it?"

Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a while, and he looked away: "I'm tired, King Zhao retreat."
