"There really is no free lunch in this world!"

Tang Mingyuan sighed helplessly, as long as a person is alive, he cannot escape the entanglement of cause and effect.

He recited a few poems casually, and got Zhao Mu's attention. Later, for the sake of the Su family's business, and also for his own comfort, he borrowed Zhao Mu's famous post to obtain the Bugong qualification.

Bugong was in charge of the Queen's Department, so he was involved with Zhou Dugong of Dongchang.

Dugong Zhou realized that Tang Mingyuan had a great talent only by the method of making ice, so he ordered the supervisor to give him a lot of convenience.

The East Factory is so powerful, with a little leakage of leftovers, the Su family quickly became one of the richest merchants in Jiangning!

I never thought that the situation in the court would change and the backlash would come so quickly.

"Who said that the ancients were stupid? I showed a little bit of mystery, and I successively won the investment of the prince and the duke. The vicious vision is beyond human reach!"

"However, such a fine person lost in the court battle..."

Tang Mingyuan thought up to this point, but he was not in the slightest decadent, and a strong fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.

Fighting with people is a lot of fun!

"Your Highness, I have a doubt, why did Your Majesty suddenly collapse?"

In the eyes of Tang Mingyuan, the orthodox emperor can be called the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He had plans for reform when he buried his residence, but after he ascended the throne, he was able to restrain his temper and conquered aliens first to expand the territory.

Back with the power of great victory, forcibly clear the acres of land and reform the tax system.

According to Tang Mingyuan's original speculation, Emperor Zhengtong could continue Daqing's peace for a hundred years, but he died suddenly.

The destiny is like this, so why not!

"I don't know the real cause of the father's death. The mother claimed that it was a sudden illness, and she did claim to be recuperating a few days before her death."

Zhao Mu said: "Prince Pingxi, whom my father regards as a confidant, has rebelled. There must be other rebels around me. A glass of poisoned wine and a sleeve arrow can kill a person!"

"Your Highness can think of poisoned wine and stabs in the back, how can the late emperor not guard against it?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "For example, poisoning needs to buy through the imperial dining room. There are many servants who test poison, as well as the imperial doctor who diagnoses and treats. If more people know about it, they will definitely be exposed."

"The more subtle the conspiracy, the more error-prone it is, but the simple and crude assassination is the hardest to guard against!"

Tang Mingyuan continued: "A regicide must be trusted by the late emperor, and he must be at the side of the emperor. He is also very powerful. Only by surprise can he succeed in a surprise attack. Otherwise, it will be like me pointing a gun at Eunuch Ma."

The innate master personally protected the orthodox emperor, and the assassin didn't even have a chance to pull the trigger!

"The two innate masters in the palace, Mr. Wei recognized the New Deal, and repeatedly went to support it in person."

Zhao Mushen said: "The other Eunuch Hai has lived in the palace for a long time and rarely shows up. He also has Eunuch Yuan, the supervisor of ceremonies, as his personal attendant. His martial arts cultivation is also quite good."

Tang Mingyuan knocked on the table, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness carefully watched these three people, including their clansmen and disciples, whoever gets the benefits will be a regicide!"

Zhao Mu asked: "Then how?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "It is natural to announce the matter of killing the king to the world, and then join forces with the elites of the Guochao to strike with a thunderbolt and set things right!"

"Is it in a hurry?"

Zhao Mu hesitated and said, "What's more, the civil and military officials have already recognized the new monarch, so where can they find the loyalists of the state?"

"The queen mother and King Pingxi killed the king and seized power, and the foundation is not stable."

Tang Mingyuan said: "There must be some people in the court who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's regent, and the clan will not support the succession of the brain-ill prince. At the same time, abolishing the tax reform will make the people resentful. It can be said to be the best opportunity."

"After the Queen Mother cleans the court, and all the officials are replaced by her own people, it will be difficult to get rid of the original. As for the loyalty of the country...the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are all loyal ministers. Whoever wins, they will be loyal to whom!"

"That makes sense."

Zhao Mu pondered carefully, it was really possible to succeed, maybe the danger was greater, but he didn't even dare to gamble, how could he have a chance of winning.

For the throne, it is worth risking your life.

Immediately making up his mind, he said solemnly: "According to what Mr. said, there is only one difficulty left, how to lead the troops to break into the palace?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "King Pingxi controls the soldiers in the capital. It is difficult to let a large number of soldiers enter the capital. We can only form elite soldiers with masters to fight quickly."

Zhao Mu looked at the servant on the side, and asked, "Eunuch Xu, how many masters do you need to break through the defense of the guard on duty?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, no amount of masters can break it."

Eunuch Xu said: "Our family is not bragging. It is true that there are countless masters in the palace supervisors. Zhou Dugong has transferred some servants, and the establishment of the East Factory will sweep the world!"

Tang Mingyuan wondered: "Why can the supervisor of the palace become a system to cultivate masters? In terms of inheritance and qualifications, the servants are far inferior to the disciples of the sect."

"The exercise that our family practices is called Epiphyllum Treasure."

Eunuch Xu explained: "Every time you run a cycle, you can gain ten times the true energy than ordinary exercises, but you will lose a few days of life, and if you practice too much, you will age prematurely!"

Zhao Mu had known the Epiphyllum Collection for a long time, and sighed: "Even if we find someone to practice now, it will take at least three to five years to achieve success. At that time, the queen mother will already be firmly seated in the court."

"A strong fortress is always broken from within!"

Tang Mingyuan said: "Duke Zhou started his business as an admiral of the palace supervisor, and he must run an iron bucket with countless secrets. Just find Duke Zhou and join hands, the supervisor of the palace will be defeated by himself, and he can even help His Highness!"

Zhao Mu said: "I also thought about recruiting Zhou Dugong, but since the emperor passed away, he disappeared. I don't know how many people searched for him, but I didn't even find a trace."

"With Zhou Dugong's temperament of vengeance, he must still be dormant in the capital, and even planning to assassinate King Pingxi and the Queen Mother."

Tang Mingyuan asked, "Does Your Highness have a business name in the capital?"

Zhao Mu said: "There are still a few small businesses that have nothing to do with the palace on the surface, and have escaped the arrest of the East Factory."

Tang Mingyuan took a pen and paper, and wrote a prescription: "This method can produce a large amount of frosting sugar, and it will become a tribute to the Queen's Department at a very low price. Duke Zhou will come to visit."

"Mister is really omnipotent!"

Zhao Mu has seen the recipe, and he can turn brown sugar into frosted sugar with the yellow muddy water that can be seen everywhere, and the value has been increased by more than ten times.

"Eunuch Xu, quickly hand over this prescription to Wang Er, and join the Department of Imperial Affairs through Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry."

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

Eunuch Xu put away the prescription carefully, and said with a smile: "If you can get the help of Duke Du, the palace can be destroyed with a snap of your fingers, and great achievements can be expected!"

Tang Mingyuan asked, "How strong is Dugong Zhou?"

Eunuch Xu said: "According to the news from the palace, the three innate masters teamed up, and it is difficult to defeat Duke Du alone. They can only wander around and fight!"

Tang Mingyuan exclaimed: "If you are so tyrannical, isn't it invincible in the world?"

Eunuch Xu and You Rongyan said: "Since Zhou Du's horse stepped into the rivers and lakes and killed the sword god, the people in the rivers and lakes were afraid when they heard about the servants. They really added face to the handicapped people like our family!"

"Eunuch Xu, in my eyes, the servant is no worse than anyone else!"

Zhao Mu snorted coldly: "The king of Pingxi rebelled, and the mother and queen rebelled. Only Zhou Dugong fought to the end. In the history books, he always scolded his servants and advised the king to stay away from eunuchs. In my opinion, it is biased. Most of the rebels are civil servants. General!"

The servant's power comes from the emperor, and he can take it all back with one sentence.

Even if there is a servant controlling the change of the throne, it will not really change the dynasty. After his death, the imperial power will still belong to the Zhao family.

Eunuch Xu and other servants were so grateful that they kowtowed and bowed down.

"Willing to die for Your Highness!"

Tang Mingyuan raised his brows, saying such words in Zhao Mu's identity, there were already signs of favoring the servant, so he immediately changed the subject.

"How much does Your Highness know about the current Holy Majesty?"

"Emperor Longqing?"

Zhao Mu said: "The thirteenth brother's mother was a court lady, and the father was lucky after being drunk, and died of illness shortly after giving birth. The thirteenth brother was raised by the maid in the palace. He had a brain disease since he was a child, and he could only speak at the age of six. Now he is ten years old. Six-year-old still can't learn to dress and eat!"

"Listening to this life experience, inexplicably makes people feel guilty..."

Tang Mingyuan asked: "Is there an imperial physician to diagnose the brain disease?"

"The imperial physician has diagnosed and treated many times, but brain disease is an unusual disease, which can only be judged by words and deeds, and cannot be truly diagnosed."

Zhao Mu frowned and said, "Sir, could it be that he suspects that Thirteenth Brother is pretending to be stupid? How old was he at that time!"

"Who can tell?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "I'm just an ordinary person, but I can't beat the guy who learned to pretend to be a fool since he was a child, and deceived the former empress dowager, civil and military officials!"

Zhao Mu carefully recalled all the memories about Emperor Longqing.

"Earlier, I heard from the servants that the thirteenth brother went to Kunning Palace from time to time, begging for food from the queen mother like a puppy. Because of his brain disease, he spoke childishly and funny, and often made the queen laugh..."

Having said that, Zhao Mu was startled.

Tang Mingyuan shrugged and said helplessly.

"Fun and fun, hell hard!"

...

Orthodoxy for six years.

October.

Emperor Longqing's filial piety ended, and he officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Rumors suddenly spread among the people that the new emperor's throne was wrong and it would be difficult for him to continue the rule.

There is also a corresponding prophecy: Zhou Dugong is invincible in the world, and whoever wins the duke can win the world!

...

royal palace.

east gate.

It was winter, and the north wind was bitter.

Zhou Yi came to be on duty early in the morning, with a layer of hoar frost on his body, and kept stomping his feet to drive out the cold, he seemed to be no different from a servant with low martial arts skills.

At the same time, perform the listening technique to listen to the words of the nearby servants.

Most of them are talking about how to curry favor with the newly promoted admiral, Zhong Gonggong, who is Zhou Yi's former cadre Xiao Zhongzi, and now he is under the Queen Mother's command.

Another cadre, Xu Zi, became the second governor of the East Factory, with great power.

Whenever the servant talks about these two, he will inevitably mention their common godfather, the disappeared Eunuch Yi.

"Have you heard that there are rumors outside..."

"Whoever wins the Dugong wins the world, so powerful and prestige, our family can get such an evaluation, and there will be no regrets in death!"

"Be quiet, do you really want to die?"

"..."

Zhou Yi stood at the base of the wall, listening to the chatter among the servants, some envied and admired, while others scolded and cursed.

Write down one by one in my heart, and settle accounts one by one in the future.

"Chewing the root of your tongue behind your back will kill you, Jie Jie Jie..."
