Live in Marvel and become an immortal

The chill of the night hovered over the palace.

In the Yanfu Palace, there was a warm atmosphere surrounded by burning oil lamps. Cao Zhenchun bowed his head like an old tree and remained motionless under the light. The other maids and chamberlains did not dare to show their dignity and stayed around. Concubine Shu was half-lying on the couch, her belly bulging more and more obviously, and her movements were becoming more and more inconvenient, but at this moment her face was filled with a sense of happiness.

On her swollen belly, the man listened and rubbed his hands.

"I feel that during this period of time... I may have done something wrong. In the final analysis, I don't know whether it is a mistake or not."

The emperor gently pressed against the woman's belly, listening to the movements of the little life inside, but there was no usual smile on his face. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood. A woman's hand reached over and gently rubbed the trace of Zhao Ji's forehead. With her hair hanging down, she said calmly in a tone that only a wife would speak to her husband, "In fact, officials are also human beings, and it is inevitable that they will make some mistakes of this and that. But fortunately, the covenant has been reached in the court, and Privy Tong should be able to We are marching, our children will have a father who is a king of territorial expansion when they are born, why should the official family be depressed?"

Zhao Ji shook his head, straightened up, held the bare hand in front of his forehead in his palm, and stroked it. After a long time, he slowly and quietly spoke: "What I'm talking about is not about the Northern Expedition. It's about Xichang and Dongfang. factory."

At this point, Zhao Ji must have felt depressed. He sighed and smiled bitterly: "The emperors of all dynasties have been balancing the government and the opposition all their lives. I am also following their footsteps, walking on thin ice, deep in my heart." I'm afraid that if I make a wrong step, I will ruin the Zhao family's empire."

"Balance... Officials shouldn't say this to my concubine, and I shouldn't listen to it. Otherwise, if I let the official know about it, I will definitely be punished for interfering in politics in the harem." After he spoke for a while, Li Shishi said lightly. He said jokingly without withdrawing his hand.

Zhao Ji also smiled at this time, pointed to her bulging belly and said, "How can I be a qualified prince in the future? Are those people still talking about it?"

"Your Majesty is so quick-witted that he can say such things. pb" The smile on Master Li's mouth became thicker and his eyes became gentler.

Zhao Ji, who was sitting there, seemed to be chatting and laughing with Concubine Shu in a gentle and harmonious manner, but in fact, the pain in his heart was unspeakable. As he said before, he was balancing the East Factory, a step that every emperor would do if placed in front of him. Zhao Ji had great ambitions in his early years, and even reached the peak when he first came to the throne. But at that time, he did not dare to move, and he had no chance. Now that the opportunity has come, he will not allow any problems in the rear.

This rear center naturally includes Dongchang.

The birth of Xichang was not actually because he needed another Wei Zhongxian, but because he felt it was time to need something to check and balance Dongchang's power. He already had an increasingly uneasy feeling in his heart. The man who had been in trouble with him when he was fifteen or sixteen years old That little eunuch has become more and more difficult to figure out, even if every time the other party kneels down respectfully and calls himself a slave, Zhao Ji will always feel a chill on the back of his neck.

From that time on, he had the intention to close the East Factory, but if he closed the East Factory, the news about the world would fall into the hands of those civil servants again. But sometimes when he thinks about it carefully, Xiao Ningzi is A eunuch is a rootless person. No matter how powerful he is, he has no heirs and his status is the humblest. It is impossible for the eunuch's wisdom not to see through the consequences of rebellion.

After that, he just let things take their own course.

Until now, Wei Zhongxian came into Zhao Ji's sight. He was good at martial arts, good at observing people's movements, and had some tricks. He was the perfect candidate to check and balance Dongchang.

But people are flawed after all. Zhao Ji received information today that Xichang built a government office and forcibly occupied the neighboring building. He had seen the drawing at the beginning and there was no problem, but in the end, problems emerged.

Hiding the superiors and bullying the inferiors!

Zhao Ji also has information channels. How could he not know about these things? But he really wanted to close the West Factory immediately and punish Wei Zhongxian severely, but he couldn't do it.

Because there is a face issue there.

Therefore, he was troubled and didn't know how to deal with it anymore. Telling Master Li this was just because of the close relationship between the two of them. Telling it might get some inspiration or comfort. The relationship between telling these things to outsiders was naturally different. Yes, the emperor cannot admit that he has done something wrong.

"The officials are anxious, and Shishi is also sad, but Shishi feels that since some things are already a mess, it's better to just leave them there. As time goes by, more clues will naturally be seen. Okay, let's Keep it up and control the bad ones."

A gentle woman's words are naturally gentle. Zhao Ji currently has little way to influence this matter, and can only nod his head in agreement with Li Shishi's statement.

Perhaps, soon, there will be new changes.

************************************************** **********************

It's late at night, the clouds are light and the stars are sparse. The lights in the East Jishi Factory were dim, but the candlelight in the White Tiger Festival Hall refused to be extinguished, as if waiting for something.

Bai Ning was dressed in regular clothes, with his crown and hair tied up. He stood quietly at the desk and looked at a map of the northern part of the Wu Dynasty. The tree shadows cast on the window paper suddenly stopped moving in the wind, and Hai Dafu opened the door and came in.

"Dafu, haven't you gone to bed yet?" Before the visitor could ask for instructions, he took the initiative to ask without raising his head.

"The governor hasn't returned to the house yet, how can I go back first?" Hai Dafu came in, bowed, and closed the door cautiously. He came closer to Bai Ning and reported in a low voice some recent events.

"Lord Governor, according to the news from Liumen, a large-scale feud occurred in Jiangnan. A total of forty-seven gangs were wiped out. Even the Taoist priests in Lingyi Mountain were injured."

Bai Ning put down the map, leaned back on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "It was the Sun Moon God Sect that did this. They cleared away the small sects that were causing trouble. The next step should be to go north."

Putting down the tea cup, he stood up, stretched out his index finger and said, "I'm going to order you to inform the six gates and let the people from the Sun Moon God Sect come up to Bianjing and tell the informants on Wei Zhongxian's side that it's time to let them go." There are some smoke bombs, let the two groups fight first."

He said this in a strong tone.

The next day, Bai Ning did not go back, and still stayed in the East Factory. On his desk, many plans were written down in outline, but in the end, they turned into a mess. In the real sense, they could not be used. Not a lot. Recently, he has been busy re-planning the work done by Hai Dafu, and found that there are too many things in Dongchang, and there are many interests involved. Write it down, it has been a long time.

The sky outside is already bright.

Afterwards, he put away the changes he had made throughout the night and handed them over to the people below. Then he walked out of the door and got on the carriage to go back. It was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the street. At some unknown time, the carriage came to a halt, and more than ten people from both sides of the street rushed towards the carriage with shouts of death.

"The person on the carriage is Dongchang Admiral Bai Ning, kill him——"

"Eliminate harm to the martial arts world!"

"We'll hold back the Dongchang lackeys, and you guys can rush over and get rid of the eunuch leader."

The early morning wind rolled up the car curtains with strong murderous intent. A fierce fight suddenly broke out in front of the convoy. Bai Ning squinted and sat there upright. At that moment, someone rushed over and slashed at the car with a knife. on the wall.

Someone climbed onto the car, lifted the curtain, and tried to get in.

But then, a palm stretched out and grabbed the opponent's face. Mixed with the sound of bones breaking, the opponent's entire body flew from the carriage and fell out of the carriage, blood splattered in the air.

His face was pinched and deformed.
