I, make my own

Chapter 2 Empress Dowager and Concubine, Bai Wudang
After Zhu Gaoyang left, a middle-aged servant with a cute smile and a little bit of happiness walked in quietly.

This person's name is Han Shang, and he is the head servant who was "signified" by the Queen Mother Hu Run'er to be canonized by the original body.

There is no doubt that Han Shang's allegiance will not be the emperor, but the queen mother.

As one of the two most powerful women in the harem today, although Hu Run'er has no heirs, the status of queen mother itself symbolizes great power, not to mention the support of the generals behind her.

As for the other "leader" of the harem, it was Toffee Lin Menghan.

Lin Menghan's son, Zhou Lan, is rumored to be a nine-star evildoer, and the power behind him is Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing. Therefore, although he was not established as a prince by the former emperor, he is recognized as the first heir.

However, two years ago, Zhou Lan lost a lot when commanding the frontier army. He was reprimanded by the late emperor in court and grounded for three months, thus losing many supporters.

Even so, Zhou Lan was still the No.1 candidate for the crown prince, and the reason why he failed to succeed to the throne seemed to be the result of the joint efforts of several other parties.

Even Zhou Xin doubted that the imperial decree that allowed him to ascend the throne might be forged. After all, the original body did not perform very well.

But these are not important, what is important is the present moment.

While Zhou Xin was thinking to himself, he glared at Han Shang with unfriendly eyes.

【Name: Han Shang

"Director Han, are you surprised to see that I'm still alive?"

Han Shang couldn't help being taken aback, and knelt down in fear while his eyes showed confusion.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"what for?"

Zhou Xin snorted heavily and slapped Yu An angrily.

"If I hadn't lost my appetite during lunch, I'm afraid I would have died by now!"

Han Shang's breathing was stagnant, and his pupils shrank sharply.

"Your Majesty is saying that someone poisoned lunch? This, this..."

Han Shang instinctively didn't believe it, because not only did the emperor's meals have to go through eight testing methods, but there was also a special person to test the poison, how could it be...

At this moment, a figure with a pale face appeared outside the hall.

When he saw Zhou Xin sitting on the throne in good condition, the man was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression was relieved.

Immediately afterwards, the man's expression changed again, and he fell to his knees in fear.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the two servants and maid who were in charge of the poison test today suddenly died suddenly..."

Han Shang trembled and prostrated himself on the ground tremblingly pleading guilty.

"Damn this slave!! I beg Your Majesty to give this slave a chance. I will definitely find out the poisoner and the mastermind behind it!"

"Find out the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zhou Xin sneered, mocking eyes.

"Being able to successfully inject poison means that the mastermind behind the scenes is very clear about the method of dietary testing. How many people are there in the entire harem who have this ability and courage?"

"If the mastermind behind this scene is Concubine Lin, how will you treat it? If the mastermind behind this scene is the Empress Dowager, how will you treat it?"

Hearing this undisguised anger, all the servants and maids outside the hall changed their expressions drastically, and immediately fell to their knees.

As for Han Shang, his mouth was dry and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful..."

"Be cautious?"

Zhou Xin was even angrier, and angrily slapped the table to get up.

"I am the emperor of the Great Zhou! In my Infinity Palace, do I still need to be cautious?"

"Oh, good! Since the two of you want my life so impatiently, then tell them that I don't want the throne! Whoever wants it can take it!"

【Ding!Your words and deeds put Emperor Zhou in a storm, posing a certain threat to the throne, rebellion points +110]

Zhou Xin's heart lit up, but there was still an expression of fury on his face.

"Your Majesty, calm down, this slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die!"

Han Shang secretly complained endlessly, and at the same time he pulled his mouth hard.

Zhou Xin watched sullenly, and didn't speak until Han Shang's cheeks were swollen and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"Get out! If you can't find out all the poisoners and the real mastermind behind the scenes before tomorrow night, you will be the head of the housekeeper!"

Han Shang froze and gritted his teeth in response.

"only!"

Afterwards, Han Shang scrambled and ran out.

If it was something else, he believed that with the queen mother around, he would never be dismissed.

But this matter is different. If His Majesty cannot be satisfied, I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager will not be able to turn things around.

……

In one afternoon, the news that the new emperor was almost poisoned to death spread to the eyes and ears of the high-level inside and outside the palace.

Along with it, the new emperor publicly expressed dissatisfaction and distrust towards the Queen Mother and Concubine Lin in anger.

For a time, the turmoil rose again, and the undercurrent was raging.

Joan Palace.

"Queen Mother, what do you think the little emperor wants to do? Is it really because of anger that he made a slip of the tongue, or does he want to take power?"

Outside the hibiscus tent, a plump and beautiful court lady sat reclined on a chair, peeling the crystal grapes with her green fingers while talking softly.

Looking at his demeanor, he didn't see much awe.

Behind the light gauze, and in the hibiscus tent, there is also a graceful, round and jade-like figure lying on the soft bed.

If you only look at the figure, the two are somewhat similar.

"When a fish enters the Heavenly Lake, it will have golden scales. How can those with golden scales not have the ambition to look down on the mortal world?"

A lazy and numb voice came out, causing the maid outside the tent to pause slightly.

"It seems that the little emperor has an idea."

"Unfortunately, the golden scales are too weak and too sharp, they will only be crushed to powder..."

"Let's see if he knows enough is enough."

"What the queen mother said is very true. Then who do you think instigated this poisoning? But the one from Qionghan Palace?"

"Not necessarily, the little emperor is still seven or eight months away from taking office, so it's too early to start at this time."

"Oh, it seems that someone wants to fish in troubled waters..."

……

There is a dense land in the central garden of the imperial palace, surrounded by dense forests, and there is only one white marble main road connecting the inside and outside.

In the center of Midi, a nine-story square loft stands quietly. On both sides of the loft, there are still two nine-foot-high bronze statues "guarding" with swords.

This is the Sutra Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, which contains the most core exercises and classics of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This place is also the most special place in the Great Zhou Palace, because the guardians in charge of guarding only recognize the rules, even the two from the harem cannot get involved.

Right now, Zhou Xin was standing in front of the gate of the Sutra Pavilion.

As the emperor, he is the only one who can read all the classics.

Looking slowly across the four solemn guards at the door, Zhou Xin stepped out and walked into the attic.

Rumor has it that the Sutra Protectors are the most powerful group of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's a pity that the rules of the scripture protectors are to stick to the scripture storage pavilion. Even if the dynasty is in chaos, even if the emperor orders, they will not take a step.

Unless the Great Zhou Dynasty was really on the verge of extinction, they would protect the treasures in the Sutra Pavilion and the few princes who fled far away to preserve the heritage and fire for the revival of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, the scripture guards here are also servants, but they have almost no intersection with normal servants, even meals are taken care of by themselves.

Although Zhou Xin only saw the four people in front of him during this journey, he could feel that there were at least a dozen pairs of eyes in the dense forest staring at the wind and grass around him.

And the four people in front of them all have the strength of the eighth rank!

You must know that rank nine powerhouses are the top existences in the martial arts world, and the official rank nine powerhouses of the Great Zhou Dynasty may not even have as many as ten fingers.

It can be seen from this that what it means for four eighth-rank powerhouses to guard the goal.

After entering the lobby on the first floor, Zhou Xin suddenly paused, frowning and staring to the left.

There was a wrinkled old eunuch sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, which seemed to be dying. Just looking at his appearance, it seemed that his days were numbered.

However, the other party's message made Zhou Xin's heart skip a beat.

【Name: Bai Wudang

Cultivation: Ninth Grade Late Stage

Age: 120

……

Qualification: Six-star (+) (-)

Talent: None]

The limit lifespan of a ninth-rank master can reach two hundred years, but after the age of 150, it will go downhill, and its strength will become weaker and weaker.

This Bai Wudang's strength can be called the top of the Great Zhou, and more importantly, the opponent's aptitude is only six stars.

With a six-star aptitude to win the ninth-rank late stage, it can be seen that his will is strong.

"The rules have been told to His Majesty last time, and His Majesty will do it himself."

Bai Wudang slowly opened his eyes, bowed slightly towards Zhou Xin and at the same time spoke Cang Sheng.

Zhou Xin didn't move, but asked instead.

"Are you the chief sutra protector?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Bai Wudang's muddy eyes. His aura at this time was no different from that of ordinary people. How did this majesty see it?
After a short silence, Bai Wudang stood up and bowed formally to Zhou Xin.

"Bai Wudang, the head of the Sutra Protector Hall, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked aloud.

"How many people are there in the Sutra Protector Hall, and how strong are they?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Sutra Protector Hall is divided into internal and external departments. The official members are 220, and the weakest is the seventh-rank early stage. As for the ninth-rank, there are six people in total."

220 seventh and eighth grade?

That's all, there are still six ninth grades? !
Zhou Xin's heart was shaken, and he was secretly horrified.

The true background of this Sutra Protector Hall is even scarier than the rumors!

In addition, there are two internal and external departments, which means that some of them are not in the palace?

After exhaling lightly, Zhou Xin looked directly at Bai Wudang and said in a deep voice.

"I want the guardians of the scripture hall to be used by me and to be dispatched!"

Bai Wudang's snow-white eyebrows were twisted into a line, and he shook his head slowly.

"Your Majesty, you should be clear about the rules of scripture guardians."

Zhou Xin really wanted to say "My word is the rule", but he didn't say it because he didn't have the capital right now.

"Emperor Taizu will not set unbreakable rules, let's just talk about the conditions."

Bai Wudang was slightly dumb, and after a soft sigh, Cang smiled.

"Emperor Taizu decided to make an exception: if one day, there is Emperor Ming who can fight against Xianmen, then all the members of the Guardian Hall must follow it wholeheartedly!"

"Xianmen?"

Zhou Xin was taken aback when he heard this, because he didn't know the information about "Xianmen" in Yuan's memory.

Bai Wudang let out a long sigh with a complex expression, and instead of explaining, he changed the term.

"In short, unless His Majesty has the means to change fate against the sky, otherwise, there will be no exceptions."

Zhou Xin frowned. Although he was curious about the fairy gate, he didn't ask any more questions. Right now, stabilizing his rule and ensuring his life are the top priorities.

"I am connected with Dao Dao, and I can help you change your fate against the sky at a certain price."

Bai Wudang was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a helpless look of being teased.

But before he could say anything, Zhou Xin's next sentence made him stunned again.

"Being able to reach the late ninth stage with a six-star aptitude, apart from extremely suitable exercises, a strong will is also essential."

"Today, I will give you nine stars to help you go to the next level!"

The information in Zhou Xin's words was too shocking, so when Zhou Xin put his palm on Bai Wudang's brow, the latter forgot to dodge.
