Chapter 328: Regent

The empress dowager lingered in the dungeon. The emperor didn't even know or cared about it. He also ordered Furong to torture the empress dowager. It would be better for the empress dowager to die. Furong naturally pretended to respond, but the only thing she did every day was to try her best to stimulate the emperor. The emperor became more irritable and irritable, sometimes losing his temper when he was in a bad mood for no reason.
Originally, the ministers of the imperial court had to visit the palace every few days to visit the emperor and ask about his physical condition. Who knows, without exception, all suffered from the seedlings. Everyone was scolded by the emperor to the blood. One minister was used by the emperor. The cup broke his head, and another minister was beaten by the emperor. Xu Zifan ordered them to bow their heads outside the door to greet them, and they don't have to go inside to see him. The Manchu civil and military officials were grateful to him, and no one suspected that he imprisoned the emperor.
And the emperor's reputation for being violent and unscrupulous gradually spread, even out of the capital, and many ridiculous things done by the previous emperor have become a topic of discussion after dinner. Although the imperial court strictly forbids any discussion, Xu Zifan did not order anyone to arrest the people, and the people did not have much fear. It was indispensable to close the door and talk quietly. Since then, the court and the people have no good impressions of the Queen Mother, the emperor, the empress, and the Fu family. They have been preaching extremely bad deeds. There have been remarks that the emperor should abdicate.
There were also some fluctuations in the court. The royal family and clans fought fiercely. They kept courting ministers in private, and often asked the wife of the family to bring their children into the palace to please the queen and Furong. The queen was naturally moved, but she was ignored by her and she had no right to speak. Gradually, all the wives asked for Furong, hoping that the imperial concubine could adopt her son.
Of course, Furong would not miss this opportunity to stimulate the emperor. Every time she had children in the palace, she would immediately bring them in for the emperor to see. Sometimes she kindly said that these children are sensible, and they must be outstanding after they grow up. Sometimes she is sad that she lost her small birth That child still looked out the window lonely after the child left, her words and deeds stimulated the emperor.
It is an extremely painful thing for a man, especially an emperor, to cut off his grandchildren and have no heirs. Every time it was mentioned, it hurts muscles and bones. The pain was so painful that the emperor lost his temper with Furong and the child. Furong expressed apologies to those ladies. After that, the news spread that the emperor refused to adopt stepchildren and could not tolerate the children. Even the clan was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor and began to tentatively propose a new emperor.
There is a lot of noise in the court, and sometimes there are endless arguing about these things, but in fact this is not a big deal. Those who have real power are silent, and those who stand out are all those who have identity and no power. These things not only didn't make them profitable, but also made Xu Zifan's reputation even better.
It is he who stabilizes the court, he takes care of the overall situation, he does not abandon the emperor, he suppresses troubles, and he is ruling the country!
Day after day, all the ministers and even all the people recognized this more and more. No one knew the name of the regent. Because of people’s curiosity, all the political achievements of the regent from his youth to his current position have been extolled one by one. Even the six years of suppressing other forces are regarded as a symbol of strength, compared with the emperor, standing on top Now.
Xu Zifan has been paying attention to the situation at the border. The spies discovered the enemy's changes in advance. Xu Zifan immediately made preparations and proposed to go to the battlefield to personally confront the enemy. The courtiers were naturally unwilling. The emperor relied on the regent to deal with the affairs of the court. Even if they were ambitious, the courtiers had more than enough energy and lacked strength. The whole court was under the control of Xu Zifan. They were afraid that something happened to Xu Zifan and the court would be upset. what.
However, Xu Zifan was determined, and directly ordered the court to be shared by several important ministers, and when in doubt, he asked his "military division". This military teacher is Mo Yun female disguised as a man and changed appearance. She sits in the Prince Regent’s Mansion, and Xu Zifan’s power is assigned to her. Those ministers who submit to Xu Zifan have received orders to listen to Mo Yun’s orders. As for ministers and other ministers, they can pass Mo Yun if they have something to do. Send news to Xu Zifan.
The royal clan wanted Xu Zifan to take advantage of the loopholes, and strongly supported Xu Zifan's decision. Under such circumstances, Xu Zifan left the capital and went to the border. He has never fought on the battlefield before, but the original owner has experience in war and knowledge of the formation of troops in his memory. Xu Zifan asked Shaohua to scan all the military books he found, and study it carefully whenever he had time, and slowly integrate the experience in his memory by self-study.
This war was fierce. Before Xu Zifan arrived at the border, several small wars had broken out. They were defeated by foreign countries. The people at the border ran away if they could, and there was despair in their hearts even if they could not. Dear, they did not have much hope for the war. The soldiers didn't have much morale, and the emperor's illness was like an unknown omen. At this time, the war naturally had no confidence at all.
After Xu Zifan arrived, he first encouraged the soldiers. He previously unified the Orc Continent in the ancient world. Standing in front of the people, his whole body was completely like an emperor. Every sentence was convincing. The soldiers were aroused and finally gasified their fighting spirit. Especially when Xu Zifan took them to a victory as soon as he arrived, the morale of the soldiers soared, and they believed in his words even more firmly.
Xu Zifan knew that there were still shortcomings in the art of war, so he used many formations, traps, and drugs during the battle. In order not to show the magical effect of the formation, he converged a lot, but in the eyes of others, he still became a of war. , Victory after success, in exchange for foreign countries, retreat. This country is only a small country. It is known for its bravery and good fighting skills. It always provoked wars. Now Xu Zifan has been beaten by Xu Zifan powerless to fight back, and the military is in chaos.
In the end, Xu Zifan set up a series of plans to provoke different domestic fights, and took the opportunity to lead the army straight into the foreign capital, without giving the opponent a chance to surrender, and directly captured it. The people in several border towns all cheered and celebrated and worshiped Xu Zifan as a god. The news spread throughout the country. The reputation of the reincarnation of the reincarnation of the of war became more and more popular, and gradually the saying that the regent was the son of the true dragon was also spread.
Xu Zifan returned to Beijing in a beautiful scenery, and Mo Yun personally led someone to greet him at the gate of the city. The two of them looked at each other and confirmed the stability of the situation. During the period of Xu Zifan's battle, there were several disturbances in Beijing, but they were all resolved by Mo Yun, and the royal family gave up the idea of ​​adopting them. Now that Xu Zifan returns safely, the prestige of the regent has reached the highest level. At his reception banquet, some ministers asked him to become emperor. Then all the ministers at the banquet knelt down and requested. Emperor, in the current situation, there is no more suitable person to be an emperor than him.
Xu Zifan sat in the upper position and watched the civil and military officials stay silent for a long time, and then said flatly "OK". At this time, the emperor and Furong were behind the screen not far away. The emperor was dumb by Furong and couldn't make a sound. Hearing the words of hundreds of officials outside, his veins came out, but he had nothing to do. I can listen to them praising Xu Zifan and say everything nicely, begging Xu Zifan to take the throne to replace him. After Xu Zifan uttered the word "good", only despair was left in his eyes, and he stared at Furong angrily, unable to believe that she actually took refuge in Xu Zifan for the sake of prosperity and wealth!
Furong smiled at him, and when the banquet was over and returned to the dormitory, she approached him in the initial design. Later, she pretended to pretend to have a miscarriage and dealt with the queen mother and the queen and told him everything, like telling a story. . Her smile was still beautiful, and her voice was still beautiful, but the emperor stopped a little bit from anger to fear, completely unable to believe that his affectionateness was given to the wrong person, and it was a poisonous snake that was left beside him. He couldn't believe that he had misunderstood the queen mother so much, and finally got into a mother-child fight because he was too stupid.
Being played around by a prostitute was a huge blow to the emperor. He shook his head and couldn't believe it. Furong chuckled and began to tell him the story of the regent. Of course she didn't know what the regent had done, she just added her own guesswork and said with jealousy, exactly how to say it.
The emperor was dumb and couldn't speak, but the expression on his face was enough to explain his inner pain. Furong breathed a sigh of relief, got up and bowed to Xu Zifan, bowed her head for instructions, "Master, are you satisfied?"
Xu Zifan stood there with his hand in his hand and nodded, "When the emperor dies, and you die, this king will arrange a new identity for you."
Furong was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Lord."
The emperor was full of horror, thinking that Xu Zifan was going to kill him. Xu Zifan walked to the bed and shook his head with a smile, "Of course I won't kill you, this king has found a better place for you, and you should be reunited with your family."
The ministers hadn’t seen the emperor in person for a long time, and all they knew about the emperor were Furong and Xiao Shunzi. They all thought that the emperor’s health was getting worse and worse, and the coma every day was getting longer and longer, and sometimes he was unconscious. clear. This time Xu Zifan came back to find a few ministers to meet with the emperor. He only saw the emperor who was pale and unconscious. The ministers shook their heads and sighed, thinking that the emperor would not last long.
Sure enough, the queen died first, and then the emperor couldn't sustain his death. The imperial concubine committed suicide. Almost no one doubted the truth. Several important ministers such as Cheng had doubts in their hearts, but the general situation has been determined, and the truth is not important at all, and they have no objection at all. Xu Zifan had handled the emperor's funeral, and then he officially enthroned after a thousand calls.
The real emperor, empress dowager, and empress have been reunited with one family and sent to a beggar's den thousands of miles away.
"The new emperor ascended the throne to amnesty the world, and also reduced taxes. Let's have a good life this year!"
"Who would say no, the regent should have taken the throne long ago, and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Fortunately, that fainted king died, otherwise I don't know how to entrap the people."
"And that vicious queen mother, she seems to be still in a jail, a thousand years of harm to her."
"Forget it, it will be troublesome to be heard, anyway, our good days are here, the new emperor Yingming Shenwu is the of war again, we will only cross the better in the future..."
The voice faded away, and the three mute faces in the corner were numb. They won't die, but they listen to the people's talk every day, listen to the disgust of others and the admiration of the new emperor. Becoming a beggar, being unclothed, eating moldy food, and listening to harsh speeches are all painful. They were powerless to complain about each other, only endless regrets left in their hearts, and they froze to death in the ruined temple in a cold winter.
