It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 10: Tighten your belt and act like a clown on stage

The door to the imperial study room was closed.

There were only two people in the huge hall.

Gu Xiangzhu stood quietly, with a cold expression, and his tone was not as flattering as other concubines, and he was not polite to the emperor Zhao Huan.

Her attitude was the same as when facing others.

It's as if Zhao Huan is not the emperor.

However, Zhao Huan was not displeased at all, but said with a serious face: "My beloved concubine should know! Ci'er is Gu's son, and the son of Zhonglie Marquis' only sister. If it weren't for the strict system of Yu's ancestral system, Gu Yuan would have left the last Give him something good!

All he wants is to open a mansion, and any royal family member is qualified to open a mansion!If you were sitting in the lonely position, how would you refuse? "

"Oh?"

Gu Xiangzhu's cold voice contained a hint of mockery: "You value this son so much, how did you decide to extract his blood marrow?"

The pained look flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes: "For Dayu, I have no choice! I will make up for what I owe him in the future. Your teacher provided the dirty book, so why bother to make sarcastic remarks?"

Gu Xiangzhu did not continue to refute, but just looked at him quietly for a while. She was also a little unclear about Zhao Huan's true thoughts.

But she knew that because of Zhao Huan, her movements in Linge were greatly restricted.

17 years ago.

In the same year that Zhao Ci was born, the real Concubine Jing, Xiang Xiaoling, died due to dystocia.

It was at that time that the Demon Cult reached a deal with Zhao Huan, using the "Secret Book of Zang Changing", a method of extending life and even immortality, in exchange for a place in Linge's development.

She will take over Xiang Xiaoling's identity and inherit Jingchu's Xiang family and Xiang Tiange's connections in Linge.

Even though the Xiang family had almost no property in Linge, Xiang Tiange's direct line was almost completely wiped out in the battle 18 years ago.

This identity still provided her with a lot of conveniences. Coupled with the emperor's delegation of power, she alone expanded the Demon Sect's wealth several times.

But recently.

The expansion stopped moving.

Because there are more and more rumors about Zhao Huan's intention to change the throne to Zhao Ci.

Even if a discerning person knows that this is impossible, it will still influence Zhao Huan to delegate power to her. Not only will the power be delegated and tightened, but the unknown resistance to her business has also become stronger.

That's why she eagerly hoped that Zhao Ci would surrender.

As a result, not only did they not establish a vassal state, they also established a government!

To make matters worse!

"I don't care how you want to pamper Zhao Ci, but what you promised must be done!"

Gu Xiangzhu said solemnly: "You have also experienced the effect of replacing the Secret Codex, but simply replacing the Secret Codex can only extend your life, but not immortality.

The key is to practice dual cultivation after completing the secret code of changing the internal organs. Only I know the secret method of dual cultivation, and I am the only one with the right physique.

You are the Emperor Wu Xian who has the best hope of regaining the old territory of the Dayu Dynasty, and you should know best what to choose. "

Zhao Huan was not angry at all, but instead smiled gently: "Ai Fei is also a saint who has single-handedly supported the demon sect's wealth. You should know very well that Gu is a unique collaborator for you.

Because of Ci'er, there are a lot of people watching you these days, so it's a little difficult to delegate power to you.

But you can rest assured that as long as this Gongdan Conference is successful, I will give you whatever your beloved concubine wants! "

"You better know!"

Gu Xiangzhu's expression softened slightly, and then with a flick of his sleeves, the door to the imperial study room opened.

The moment the sunlight outside the palace shone in, she bowed her head and her voice became a little gentler and charming: "Your Majesty is diligent in your work, but you must also take care of your body. I will take my leave now!"

Say it.

Turn away.

There is no trace of nostalgia.

Zhao Huan looked at his exquisite back, with a complex expression hidden in his eyes, half cold and half fanatical, but blended together without any violation.

outside the temple.

The eunuch and maid watched Gu Xiangzhu leave and couldn't help but whisper.

"Among the concubines, it seems that Concubine Jing is the only one who can come to the imperial study at any time."

"The empress has a beautiful face, and she can take care of your majesty's worries. How can your majesty resist when she says a few words of personal concern?"

"It's a pity that your Majesty never speaks politely to anyone other than Your Majesty, and I don't know when I will be able to see your Majesty smile."

It was about the emperor and the concubine. They only dared to discuss a few words when they were far away. When they got closer to the imperial study, they quickly fell silent.

Looking back at Shu Gong's carriage.

Gu Xiangzhu frowned slightly. She naturally hoped that the Gongdan Conference would be a success, but I'm afraid it would take more than a year of accumulation.

My big boy really doesn't make people worry.

Net chaos!

She wanted to call Zhao Ci into Wangshu Palace and give him a good scolding. After all, this boy had been afraid of her since he was a child. If he obeyed and kept a low profile again, it might help relieve some of her pressure.

But as soon as the thought flashed through her mind, she suppressed it.

There seems to be something wrong with this kid today.

She stroked her fair and smooth neck, as if she felt the hot and moist breath hitting her again, and her skin felt numb and itchy.

never mind!let's talk tomorrow!
Wait until this kid becomes normal again.

……

The matter of the imperial list spread to every corner of Linge in a very short period of time.

Nine Palaces.

"what!"

Zhao Yongteng sat up suddenly, his eyes a little frightened: "Zhao Ci went to the palace again?"

He felt that Zhao Ci went to complain, after all, Zhao Ci had done this kind of thing before.

But what will I do to you this time?
What are you suing for?

Are you suing me for pulling up your door?
Do you want to sue this too?

The maid on the side was startled and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I haven't wiped it clean yet..."

Zhao Yong suddenly became anxious and slapped him: "Wipe it clean? Do you think I'm dirty or smelly?"

"The slaves dare not!"

The maid was so frightened that she couldn't care less about her rapidly swelling cheeks, and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

She was extremely scared. His Highness used to be humble and polite, but he had never been so violent as he is today!
Zhu Yan knew why Zhao Yong lost his composure, and patted her on the shoulder: "I don't blame you, it's none of your business, go down!"

The maid didn't dare to move, but looked at Zhao Yong cautiously. When she saw him waving his hands irritably, she thanked him profusely and left as if running away.

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't get angry with a maid, it won't sound good if it gets spread!"

"Humph!"

Zhao Yong did not refute, but his expression was a little distorted.

He didn't know if the words would get out.

Anyway, he doesn’t want to go out anymore.

How embarrassing!
Those people on the street were so audacious. They insisted on looking at me even after being told not to look, as if their eyes could tell how much weight they had lost.

unlucky!

Zhu Yan shook his head helplessly: "Zhao Ci came to the palace this time not to complain!"

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment: "What is that for?"

Zhu Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Ci...has opened his mansion!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

then……

"puff!"

Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "What did you say? Zhao Ci opened the mansion? Are you sure?"

For the elites, opening a mansion is tantamount to ascending to the divine level.As long as you can make achievements in this process, it will be of great benefit to the royal children themselves, the noble elites under the family, and the new talents in scientific examinations.

But for waste, it is a big pit of self-restraint and laughter.

Because once the government is opened, the clan government will send people to supervise it secretly to prevent them from using external forces to improve their achievements.

Even the monthly salary will be cut off, and only the salary of low-level officials will be paid.

Zhao Ci's move was really about tightening his belt and even going on stage to act like a clown.

fun!
"Exactly!"

Zhu Yan nodded: "His Majesty has posted the imperial list, and he specially helped Zhao Ci recruit officials!"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yong's face suddenly became stiff.

Although he knew that even recruiting officials from the imperial list would be difficult to achieve, after all, everyone was pursuing merit and only focused on Zhao Ci's ability, and the imperial list was not easy to use.

But this act of posting the emperor's list still made him a little jealous.

Zhao Yong exhaled a sour breath: "It doesn't matter! There are so many people to open the mansion, and Zhao Ci is one of them. People in Linge are very smart, and no one will be willing to join his mansion except for his bad friends."

Zhu Yan didn't answer, but nodded with deep understanding.

Everyone is very realistic and there is no need to struggle with the future.

Zhao Yong was still a little uneasy: "However, my father has always doted on him. Who knows if he will be out of proportion this time? This time Zhao resigned and opened the mansion, I'm afraid it's not a good sign. Call the maid in to help me bathe, I’m going to see the prince later.”

The maid hasn't come in yet.

But the eunuch in the palace came first.

"Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, your Majesty has summoned you!"

"what?"

Zhao Yong was a little surprised: "May I ask my father-in-law, what is it that my father has called me for?"

The eunuch said calmly: "Your Majesty specially called the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat His Majesty the Ninth Prince!"

Zhao Yong: "..."

His face looked a little ugly. Zhao Ci, a loser, really complained about anything!
