The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 395 The Secret History of the Palace
As soon as Mo Liping left, the treasurer of the gold shop was politely "invited" into the palace by two men in black, and brought him to the woman who was under one person and over ten thousand...

The shopkeeper recognized Mu Yunge. The shopkeeper had seen her before when she was a young lady of the Mu family. Now seeing her in a fine attire, before Mu Yunge could ask any questions, the shopkeeper's knees softened and he knelt down, saying everything. .When Wei Shixia came to see this situation, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, and joked with Mu Yunge after they left: "Yun'er is getting more and more capable, I think you can take charge of the punishment department. Those stubborn criminals probably won't last two years in front of you." A word can do anything."

Mu Yunge gave him a sideways look: "You want me to compete with Amber Hou for a job?"

Hearing this, Wei Shi hugged Mu Yunge and laughed so hard that he finally stopped laughing, then kissed her on the cheek and said, "If Marquis Anbo knew you were going to the Ministry of Punishment, he would probably give up your seat right away. What's the point? Is it up to you to grab it?"

Jokes aside, Wei Shi was still very serious about the truth he just heard: "But having said that, what are you going to do?"

"Mu Ruyan came to Yingzhou in person, but we haven't heard anything about it. It seems that her power in Xizhao is really getting stronger." Mu Yunge pursed his lips tightly: "She went to Yingzhou without telling the world. Go, the person you are looking for is definitely not easy."

"I have convinced her." Wei Shi remembered what the shopkeeper said, and found it a little funny: "I have been busy all day calculating that Zhao Guo's team is not enough. When I arrived in Yingzhou, I met Ziyu by chance. She actually thought of plotting against you. With her small stomach, it's amazing that she can accomplish great things."

Mu Yunge didn't speak, because Qiao Fengqi went to Mu Ruyan's side to stir up the situation with Mu Ruyan's hand because he was interested in Mu Ruyan's failure.

Looking at the current situation in Xizhao, Zhao Huangzang's sinister intentions hidden under his gentle face have now been first noticed by people with insight in Zhao Guo.Coupled with the foreshadowing that Qiao Fengqi had planted earlier, there is now a lot of resentment in Xizhao's country, and it is time to draw swords.

Mu Shuzhi thought that the truth would be completely submerged with Rong Zihong's departure, but now it was brought to the surface suddenly, the arrogance and lust of these years had already made him lose the tolerance he had back then, and he was a little panicked.

Faced with the doubts and confusion of the common people, Mu Shuzhi not only failed to describe himself as a wise gentleman, showing his tolerance and understanding, but instead reached an unprecedented state of suspicion and tension.But in the Western Zhao Kingdom, whoever dares to mention the old affairs of the previous dynasty will be killed in a blink of an eye.

However, this kind of thing, the more you want to control the depression, the more people think about it. By the beginning of March, the streets and alleys in Xizhao were already talking about the last emperor of the previous dynasty. There were many clues that people should not have noticed. I do not know why it will suddenly flow into the people in a clear and orderly manner, and it is known to everyone.

To sort it out roughly, it is nothing more than to explain several major doubts about Rong Xiuye's "tyranny" in the former dynasty:

First, lust is the nature of a man, and it is the standard configuration of a foolish monarch. Why has Rong Xiuye, a tyrant who has been in power for so many years, never once opened up his harem and selected his concubines?
Second, Rong Xiuye's unbridled extravagance and lust are what the common people hate the most.He launched two wars, which lasted for four years. During the period, he continued to increase the corvee taxes for the war, making the people miserable; in addition, he also built two magnificent palaces in the Xizhao Palace, one was later The Banyan Garden Pavilion, which is used to hide the beauty in the golden house, is a stargazing building purely to satisfy his preference of watching stars at night.

In the Banyan Garden Pavilion, a pearl is inlaid in five steps, and a beautiful jade is placed in ten steps, which can be described as a real "golden house".Except for jewelry, Rong Xiuye ​​specially ordered people not to bring dozens of big banyan trees from the Eastern Wei Dynasty thousands of miles away to make the palace look like a fairyland.Among other things, the money to transport these banyan trees is countless.

The Star Observation Tower is made from local materials, but it is just a loft for watching the stars, and it has been built for nearly eight feet. In order to build this tower, many people died of exhaustion or were crushed to death by rolling stones, and their bones were buried under the tower. !
This is also the cause of the overthrow of the previous dynasty. So far, many people still hate it when they mention this matter.

However, including some old ministers from the previous dynasty, after thinking about it carefully, with Chen Shaofu's signs, they also recalled that it was not a good feeling at all.

It is said that it was an order from Rong Xiuye, but whether it was the construction of the Banyan Garden Pavilion or the construction of the Star Observation Tower, none of the civil and military officials participated in the discussion on this matter in the main hall. Rong Xiuye ​​did not even show his face. A piece of imperial edict was settled.Speaking of it, it is true that Rong Xiuye ​​has the right to issue the imperial edict, but all civil and military officials know well that the jade seal was kept in the hands of Mu Shuzhi, who was still the regent at the time!

Therefore, it is really uncertain who issued those imperial edicts that angered people and resented people back then!

In addition to those two wars, as an emperor, whenever the national army sets off, it is to sacrifice to heaven and earth, but Rong Xiuye ​​never appeared in the two wars between each other from the beginning to the end.Regent Mu Shuzhi acted on his behalf to offer sacrifices to the heavens; regent King Mu Shuzhi acted on his behalf to see him off; even after the army was defeated, Regent Prince Mu Shuzhi greeted him on behalf of the emperor...

Thirdly, since Rong Xiuye ​​was a tyrant and everyone betrayed his relatives, why did all the servants in the palace, except for the peripheral officials, accompany him to die when the country was destroyed?
That posture back then was not like a heartfelt servant who would rather die than surrender for his master, but rather like killing someone to silence him.But if killing them kills them, it means that these maidservants have learned a big secret, and only by killing them can the secret not be leaked!
This makes people can't help but ask, what kind of secret is worth the new emperor's harem exchange at the cost of bloodshed?

Someone quickly gave the answer. The people who had the most contact with the maidservants in the eunuch were the former Emperor Rong Xiuye ​​and the Queen Mother. The secrets these people knew were nothing more than the secrets of the two of them, and the weight of this secret was nine out of ten. It is also related to the new emperor, so it is worthy of the new emperor's cruelty.Someone thought of Mu Shuzhi's background and his entanglement with the former empress dowager, and the answer was almost ready!
The last doubtful point is also a reason why Zhao Guoren can't figure it out.

Since Rong Xiuye ​​is a tyrant, why did the three masters around him never abandon him easily?Why did two of Rong Xiuye's highly respected three masters die with him when he went to die?
A tyrant, even if the three masters are foolish and loyal, he must give more comfort. The end result is that Rong Xiuye ​​will turn against them and kill all these loyal and good ministers just like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou.However, the emperor's teachers never got along with each other. With Mu Shuzhi's so-called virtuousness back then, even if the three teachers survived, Mu Shuzhi would definitely grant him a high position, and he would never die and be buried.

It doesn't make sense at all!
Looking back on what happened back then, some people came back to it. "Take the emperor to command the princes", these words suddenly appeared in everyone's mind like a mirror, and everything became clear.

Once public opinion rises, trying to suppress it is nothing but nonsense.

There are many capable people and strangers among the people, and how many people have relatives who died unjustly in the palace.They have been dormant for a long time, and what they are waiting for is such an opportunity to tell everything they know...

Mu Shuzhi himself didn't expect that what happened to Chen Shaofu was just thunder, and the real storm had just begun!
Mu Ruyan went to lurk in Yingzhou of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to find someone, who he was looking for and why, and soon, Mu Yunge and Wei Shi had the answer.

Qiao Feng flew the pigeon to pass the letter, explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that under his instigation, Chen Shaofu's affairs were very successful. With Chen Shaofu, Mu Ruyan brought down his imperial brother.From then on, Mu Ruyan's trust in him reached the peak. For that position, this ruthless princess showed her unknown side, almost obedient to Qiao Fengqi, and gradually handed over many things to him. do it.

In the deep palace, Empress Qi saw that her son was unreliable and her daughter was gradually gaining power. For the benefit of the Qi family, she completely turned to Mu Ruyan.

In order to show her sincerity, Empress Qi told Mu Ruyan a way to bring down another successor at once.

This method uses a secret history of the palace.

Over the years, Mu Shuzhi has hidden a woman in his heart, a very mysterious woman.Empress Qi never really met this woman, only occasionally when Mu Shuzhi was drunk, she would call out the woman's nickname in a low voice: "Qingge." Well, Empress Qi vaguely guessed that Mu Shuzhi hid that woman in the palace back then.Later, the former dynasty disappeared, and many maidservants died in the chaos, and it seemed that the woman was gone.This woman has been dead for many years, and every time Mu Shuzhi mentions it, he still feels sad, and doesn't want to enter the harem for days and nights.

Empress Qi's idea to Mu Ruyan was to ask Mu Ruyan to find someone similar to this woman and send her to the palace within the scope of her control.As long as this person gains power, he can manipulate Mu Shuzhi to achieve the goal of seizing the heir apparent!
This method made Mu Ruyan very tempted, so she went back to the mansion to discuss with Qiao Fengqi.

Qiao Fengqi lowered his eyebrows, and quickly agreed, and took the matter of finding someone on himself.Mu Ruyan stole a portrait of this woman named Qingge through Empress Qi, and started looking for people all over the world looking at the portrait.In the end, Qiao Fengqi found a woman named Ru Xu in Yingzhou of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. At first glance, she looked exactly like the person in the painting.

The reason why Mu Ruyan came to Eastern Wei in disguise was because he and Qiao Fengqi came to pick him up!

It's just that, on the way, she went out for a private stroll, and ran into Ziyu by accident. Remembering that this woman was Chen Shuhan's rival in love, she thought about it for a while, and came up with such a sinister idea...

In the letter, Qiao Fengqi apologized for not stopping Mu Ruyan in time.Peixin found out about this and scolded him severely, feeling very guilty in his heart.Fortunately, he and Pei Xin felt a little relieved when they learned that there was no bad influence and that Chen Shuhan's wedding was not destroyed.

Of course, he also told the story of the woman named Ru Xu and how he found her in the letter.
