I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 42

Xin Zhao glanced around at these beautiful women who were elected, most of them were the daughters of those officials in the court, and a few were also elected from the people.

There are many beautiful women among them, but Xin Zhao doesn't care much about them.

Xin Zhao's eyes slowly scanned one woman after another, and finally looked at a beautiful woman, and said in his mouth, "Who is Cui Yuyan?"

Xin Zhao didn't know if the woman he saw was Cui Yuyan, but he felt that this woman was Cui Yuyan, this was an intuition.

"The servant girl is Cui Yuyan."

The woman caught by Xin Zhao trembled slightly, then lowered her head, her voice was like a mosquito.

When the women around heard Zhao Xin's words, they felt a little bit jealous of Cui Yuyan in their hearts, which is very common in the harem.

"Very good." Xin Zhao didn't stay here too much, he just got acquainted with Cui Yuyan, recognized him, and then went to the imperial carriage and returned to Qinzheng Palace.

When the emperor had a lot of memorials to review every day, there were not many memorials from the state of Qin. Most of the memorials today are about floods in the south and some minor things.

More memorials were sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion for review by Cui Cen.

Xin Zhao's eyes were cold, and he looked towards the west of the palace, which is the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, let alone an emperor, how can he tolerate a powerful minister?
What Xin Zhao wants is obedient officials, not powerful ministers like Cui Cen.

"Let Cui Yuyan come to bed tonight." Xin Zhao said, as if talking to himself.

But immediately a eunuch beside him responded respectfully.

For Cui Yuyan, Zhao Xinxin already had his own ideas and a series of countermeasures.

His one-sided words are definitely not enough to convince Cui Yuyan, what he needs is evidence, what the Cui family did 16 years ago.

"Come here, announce Liu Muzhi's audience." Zhao Xin said after reviewing the memorial.

"promise."

Not long after, Liu Muzhi walked to the Palace of Qinzheng.

"His Majesty."

Liu Muzhi bowed his head and said.

Then Liu Muzhi raised his head and looked at Xin Zhao who was still reviewing the memorial, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

Now Xin Zhao has faintly possessed the capital of Mingjun.

"What's the response from the people recently?" Xin Zhao asked lightly.

Liu Muzhi also has his own rights, he can spread news among the people, some news that is beneficial to him, Xin Zhao.

"Originally, Liu He's matter did not ignite the fire on Cui Cen, but after the officials pushed the flames, the people also had a lot of complaints against Cui Cen, thinking that Cui Cen was playing tricks on behalf of tigers." Liu Muzhi said.

"Forgive me to speak bluntly, such pressure from the people should have no effect on the Prime Minister. Why does Your Majesty still do this?" Liu Muzhi asked, which was a point of his doubts.

"It's useless now, but it can lay the groundwork for pushing Cui Cen in the future. This is the general trend. Since ancient times, the people's hearts have been the general trend, and the world of people who win the hearts of the people is not just talk." Xin Zhao shook his head.

"Even if it's useless, I still want to do it. It's not for anything else, just to disgust Cui Cen. I'm trying to make my heart clear. If my heart is not clear, what's the point of being an emperor?" Xin Zhao asked back. road.

Liu Muzhi smiled wryly, but this didn't do any harm to Jiangshan, and Liu Muzhi didn't stop him.

"Today, the Cui family sent a group of beautiful girls to the palace. The Cui family is very smart. Although they are powerful, the court is their one word, but it is always difficult to support them alone. Except for the Cui family's women, most of them are officials. Your daughter." Xin Zhao didn't know the tone, it seemed to be ridiculed, and it seemed to have a headache.

"Among them, Cui Yuyan, the youngest member of the Cui family, has a problem with her life experience. She can use it as a fuss to instigate Cui Yuyan. It can get us a lot of useful information." Xin Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to search for evidence about Cui Yuyan's family background?" Liu Muzhi asked.

"Good." Xin Zhao smiled.

"This happened 16 years ago. That year seemed to be the seventh year of Longwu. I went to investigate the seventh year of Longwu. What big moves did the Cui family make? In my memory, the Cui family was not a first-class family at that time. .” Xin Zhao said.

These cases are all recorded in the royal family. Except for the emperor, no one else knows, not even the queen mother. After all, there are still some loyalists in the royal family.

Xin Zhao took out a slightly worn-out bamboo slip from the case and handed it to Liu Muzhi.

The seventh year of Longwu was an eventful year with many things happening. .
The leading Lin family fell, and the Cui family came to power the following year. The situation in the capital changed again and again, and the old emperor was also weak. The first thing the Cui family did after coming to power was to send Cui Cen's younger sister to the royal family.

That is to say, the current queen mother, which year is the turning point for the Cui family.

The actions of the Cui family have indeed laid a great foundation. They have jumped from being an official to being a prime minister and a relative.

Now, the Cui family, who are foreign relatives, is a huge monster in the eyes of the common people, and even the emperor is a little afraid.

"In the seventh year of Longwu, the Prime Minister Lin Yuehong conspired against her and killed her family. It was Cui Cen who executed it. Later, Cui Cen took away a baby girl from the Lin family."

"At the end of the seventh year of Longwu, Cui Cen became the current prime minister. The late emperor was very happy and rewarded the Cui family with three thousand pieces of gold."

"At the end of the seventh year of Longwu, Cui Cen offered his younger sister and became the queen."

……

All the past events were shown in Liu Muzhi's eyes without any concealment. The seventh year of Longwu was the year when the Cui family rose and turned around.

Although he didn't know Lin Yuehong, Liu Muzhi had heard among the people that Lin Yuehong was an upright official, and it was said that at the end of the year, the family didn't even have any extra rice.

The prime minister's wife's robe was mended again and again, and there were no servants and servants to follow her in and out.

Based on these experiences alone, one can infer from the side that even if Shangguan Yuehong is not a good person, she will not be rebellious, at least she has great loyalty to Daqin.

And coincidentally, the entire Lin family was ransacked, and the evidence of treason was given by the Cui family, and it was also the Cui family who did this, and Cui Cen was the one who was in charge back then.

A new generation to replace the old?

The rise of the new forces must be accompanied by the demise of the old forces, among which, blood paved the way!
"fatuous."

Liu Muzhi spoke directly, and those who didn't know thought he was scolding Xin Zhao for being stupid.

Xin Zhao has no superfluous expression, very flat.

The affairs of the first emperor are not worth his extra thoughts.

A good-for-nothing emperor, why waste his time on this kind of waste?
He Xin Zhao is Xin Zhao, and the first emperor is the first emperor, the two cannot be confused at all.

For Liu Muzhi's free-spirited words, Xin Zhao expressed his understanding.

The first emperor... is indeed a waste.
