I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 23 Buying People's Hearts
Li Cunxiao and the others' eyes were about to burst, they hurriedly rushed over to rescue him.

But other people in the palace were far away from Xin Zhao, only a eunuch who was injured and fell to the ground was lying at Xin Zhao's feet.

Zhao Xin's expression was condensed, and he secretly practiced the "Nine Turns of the Golden Body Jue" in an instant.

Wang Jin's skill is too fast, he can't dodge at all, so he can only resist Wang Jin's blow with this skill.

In an instant, a figure flew towards him, blocking the sword that was about to stab Zhao Xinxin's mouth.

"Boom!" Li Cunxiao chased after him and severely wounded him.

Wang Jin's body fell to the ground in a strange posture, his whole body convulsed and vomiting blood.

Li Cunxiao went up with red eyes and wanted to smash Wang Jin's head with a spear, but Wan Chao hurried over to stop him.

"General Li stopped, he still has to take it down for trial."

Wang Jin was nearly killed by Li Cunxiao's punch, and many bones in his body were probably broken.

Xin Zhao hugged the eunuch who blocked the fatal sword for him, completely ignoring the blood stained on his robe.

There were tears in his eyes, his expression was sad, and his voice was choked with sobs: "You sacrificed your life to save me, and I have the grace to save my life... What's your name?"

"Slave... Slave Liu Zheng."

The eunuch opened his mouth with difficulty, knowing that his life would be lost, but when he saw the emperor, regardless of his status, hugging him and weeping, he was moved and relieved.

Those of them who are servants live like ants, and it is most normal for them to block the knife for their master.

But the emperor's current actions shocked him deeply.

With a Lord like this, it is worthwhile to sacrifice your life and die for him.

"Protecting Your Majesty...is the duty of a servant..." Liu Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, "If you can serve Your Majesty, your servant will die without regret..."

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed his breath.

Xin Zhao burst into tears, and said: "Liu Zheng died to save my life, and I want to give him a grand burial.

Liu Muzhi, go and find out who else is in his family. If anyone serves the imperial court, they should be promoted and reused.

In other cases, they should be properly arranged to ensure that they have no worries for the rest of their lives. "

Seeing this scene, Cao Xiong and the other two eunuchs who were still alive were both stunned and indescribably moved.

His Majesty's ability to treat an insignificant subordinate like this shows that he treats those who are loyal to him with sincerity.

At this moment, they have completely changed their views on the emperor. If they had to choose to be loyal to the emperor at the beginning, now that they saw this scene, they would be willing to serve him.

"I obey the order." Liu Muzhi responded, and he naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of the three eunuchs.

Your Majesty's move to buy people's hearts is really beautiful.

Xin Zhao also personally went over to express condolences to Cao Xiong and the three of them. The three were moved and flattered, supported their injured bodies, thanked the emperor for their kindness, and expressed their loyalty.

Seeing that their ambition was 70 and their loyalty was 90, Zhao Xinxin was very satisfied.

For the emperor, the combination of rigidity and softness is the kingly way.

He grieved and suffered for the eunuch who blocked the knife and died for him, and touched people's hearts with his feelings, making them return to their hearts completely.

The dying Wang Jin was taken down, and the injured were also sent to Tai Hospital for treatment.

Wang Jin was successfully taken down, but now is not the time to celebrate.

Zhao Xin ordered Li Cunxiao to take people to copy the East Factory, and the group of minions under his hands must be eliminated as soon as possible.

He is not worried that if Wang Jin is removed now, Cui Cen will come to him.

To put it bluntly, Wang Jin was just seeking Cui Cen's protection.

They are not a community of interests, and Wang Jin's death has little effect on him.

But a lot of things happened one after another in the past two days, Cui Cen must be very unhappy in his heart.

Now that Wang Jin has been eliminated, Cui Cen will be next.

But this is an extremely difficult matter that has been handed over to Liu Muzhi. Cui Cen is in charge of all the officials, and it involves a lot, which cannot be shaken by his current ability.

It also needs to be deployed slowly and wait for the opportunity.At the same time, it also prevents him from jumping over the wall in a hurry and directly attacks him.

Wang Jin was arrested and imprisoned by the emperor for slandering important officials of the imperial court. This matter reached the ears of Cui Cen and Nan Cang respectively that night.

After Nan Cang heard the news, Fu Xu nodded and smiled.

The emperor's seizure of power in the palace could not help but be fast and beautiful, and he also rescued Kou Huairen and eradicated Wang Jin by the way. He expressed his satisfaction with this grandson-in-law.

Nan Cang instructed his youngest son, "Wuyou, send a revised letter to your elder brother to let Luoying know about the marriage."

"The boy knows."

After Cui Cen received the news, he was a little surprised.

He didn't expect the emperor to act so fast, and he didn't expect Wang Jin to be arrested so easily by the emperor.

Wang Jin knew that the emperor would not let him go, so he should be extremely vigilant during this time, why did he enter the palace without any precautions?
He ordered someone to investigate, only to find out that it was Cao Xiong who defected to the emperor, and Wang Jin was tricked.

Later, it was also found out that when Cui Zhihan went to win over Cao Xiong according to his instructions, he had a bad attitude towards him.

As shrewd as Cui Cen, he naturally understood why Cao Xiong defected to the emperor so quickly.

Originally in his plan, Cao Xiong would definitely join his Cui family.

But who knew that such a trivial matter would be messed up by the eldest son, and Cao Xiong was pushed back in front of the emperor instead.

It doesn't matter whether Wang Jin lives or dies, but once Nan Cang cooperates with the emperor, especially at this time, it will be troublesome for him!

At this time, the Seven Kings' rebellion intensified, and urgent military reports came frequently.

Although Xin Zhao took back the control of the palace, he did not restrict the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain.

For one thing, if he personally interfered with the Empress Dowager listening to the government behind the curtain, Cui's party would definitely react violently, and it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Nan Cang.

Secondly, he knows that the queen mother dare not do anything to him now, she is just a tool person who "listens to politics".

The next day, in the early court, many officials in the court reported that it was inappropriate for the emperor to marry the Nan family.

I hope the Queen Mother can persuade the emperor to give up his plan to get married.

The ministers who opposed each other had their own arguments, explaining from various aspects that this marriage was not suitable.

Some people even directly said that Nan Cang didn't respect the Holy Majesty, and that he would not even go to court if he supported his soldiers and was self-respecting. If the Emperor married his Nan family, wouldn't it be Nan Cang's rebellion?

There was no reason why Nancang didn't come early today.

But he has a heavy army in his hand, and he still needs to suppress the Seven Kings' rebellion.

Now, apart from a few words about Nan Cang from the court ministers, Cui Cen has also tacitly compromised.

After all, it is not appropriate to trouble Nan Cang with the excuse of not going to court.

"The marriage between the emperor and the Nan family is not in accordance with the etiquette! Empress Dowager, you are the emperor's mother, so I hope you can persuade me a little bit more when you go back!"

"Where did Mr. Zhang come from? The marriage between the emperor and the Nan family is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette?"

Tai Chang, who was in charge of etiquette, came out with a wat, smiling authentically.

"Empress Dowager, I feel that this is an excellent marriage.

There is no such thing as impoliteness at all. "

That Master Zhang snorted coldly when he heard this, it's too common for Xu Han to be from Nancang.

Usually in the court, he kept a low profile and kept a low profile, but today he defended his marriage.

The queen mother listened to the speeches of the ministers, and then looked at Cui Cen, who stood at the head of the officials and did not say a word.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, how could it be her turn to say a word about the emperor's marriage now?

Elder brother should know that she is in a predicament now, and the only one who can rescue her is elder brother...
