Chapter 533 Actor's self-cultivation
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Xiyi came into contact with Tianhou's hidden guard. The opponent didn't show any attraction to him at first, but played the emotional card with him for a nine-turn and eighteen-turn.
This Chen Xiyi was so eager to let the other party cheer up, Chen Xiyi was getting impatient after these plots, but in order to maintain the character design, Chen Xiyi could only act patiently with the other party.
Fortunately, the other party also felt that the heat was almost ready, so he opened his mouth to solicit.
Of course, Chen Xiyi sternly refused, and said that when the prince came back, he would definitely report to the prince, and create an image of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Everyone likes Guan Erye's loyalty. Who likes Lu Bu's capriciousness?
In this regard, Chen Xiyi is very determined. Although he wants to counterattack, he can't counterattack by himself. Otherwise, how will he mess up in the future? Mixed longer.
Regarding Chen Xiyi's refusal, the hidden guard didn't show any surprise expression. Although he didn't know why Tianhou suddenly asked him to recruit Chen Xiyi, the dark guard didn't ask the reason but only the result.
During the next two days, the hidden guard also wanted to do ideological work for Chen Xiyi, and continued to pull towards the queen's camp, but they were all rejected.
It wasn't until the east palace was lifted and the news of the crown prince's death came that the hidden guard understood that perhaps the crown prince would have disappeared as early as the time he got to recruit Chen Xiyi for the Empress Dowager, otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager be so bold? No wonder the East Palace was blocked.
In addition, the Minister of the Household Department fell to his death, and the Minister of the Household Department and others were dismissed and investigated for corruption. In the end, the entire Household Department was changed.
Of course, those princes are the most excited to hear the news. If the crown prince is gone, then they may have a chance.
The position of Ninety-five Supreme Beings, who wouldn't want this?
So the princes naturally became active, and secretly started their respective actions in full swing.
The impact of this incident was far beyond the imperial capital. Under the information channel of Fengwen Pavilion, it quickly spread throughout the entire Daxi Dynasty, and even the Land of Huawai knew about it.
The fate of the country was also a little turbulent for a while, but Emperor Xi had obviously considered this matter long ago, and soon began to quickly calm down the fate of the country in various ways, which took only one day.
From this point of view, Emperor Xi not only has the imperial mind, but also his ability to govern the country and handle affairs should not be underestimated.
With this method, the combination of Tianhou and Prince would probably not be able to reach Emperor Xi, no wonder they would be played around, and even the household department was severely cleaned up by him by this method, completely pulling out the minions, The speed was so fast that the other five departments did not react, and the matter was over.
When they reacted and prepared to resist, the news of the crown prince's death came out, which directly shocked them. If they dared to do something now, Emperor Xi would probably be able to clean them up together.
He just lost his son, you go up and deal with him, I'm afraid you will have to kill him.
However, some more astute ministers also realized that this was probably a trick of Emperor Xi, but no one dared to express their position and do something out of the ordinary at this time, otherwise the entire imperial capital would be in chaos.
Not to mention anything else, just the matter of fighting for the throne will become a mess, and now that the position of the crown prince is hanging high, this will become a huge whirlpool.
It is very likely that Emperor Xi will use the means of differentiation to make all civil and military people start to line up, so as to achieve a new round of balance.
That would be disastrous for the ministers. If they were in the right team, it would be fine, but if they were in the wrong team, they would inevitably be liquidated in the future.
Because the prince himself was powerful before, he was able to control the old officials of the first emperor, but now that the prince is gone, the remaining princes have no rights. Emperor Xi can only find a way to pave the way first.
I am afraid that the position of crown prince will not be established again in a short period of time. At least these princes have to show their political ability before choosing. hands.
The time must be at least year-by-year, not only to show ability, but also to accumulate experience for it. The prince is already a qualified politician, but he is a little immature. As long as he polishes it for three to five years, he will be a qualified successor. It's a pity that he died.
It's just that the chaos in the imperial capital has nothing to do with Chen Xiyi. Chen Xiyi is still acting at this time, continuing to build up his image of loyalty.
Of course, there was not much resistance to the follow-up contact with the hidden guard, but instead he hung the other party with a nonchalant attitude, showing that on the one hand, he did not repay the prince's kindness, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about his own future. feel worried.
This move made the dark guard feel that he had a good chance of being able to win over Chen Xiyi.
In this regard, Chen Xiyi can only say that you are too happy too soon. After all, if you surrender easily without giving some difficulty, the importance will drop too much.
After all, things that are obtained for nothing are generally not cherished, and only things that have been paid for enough value will appear extremely cherished.
But this also needs a certain degree, otherwise the other party might give up because the cost is too high, but it is obvious that the limit has not been reached yet, so Chen Xiyi is still pushing, and wants to try to reach the limit before agreeing.
Chen Xiyi has never done this kind of thing, but it doesn't mean he can't. There are a lot of personality data such as green tea, Neptune, etc. in his system, and they can be used to do these with just a few changes.
After the ban on the Eastern Palace was lifted, the original eunuchs and court ladies had been recalled because of the prince’s death. After all, if there were any princes competing to become the new prince in the future, it would be impossible to use these old people. Just bring someone here.
Chen Xiyi is naturally no exception, but outside the East Palace, there are quite a few people gathered at the door, wanting to take advantage of this to attract the followers of the Prince's influence.
More importantly, they all wanted to recruit Chen Xiyi from Ziyun, but each of them was thinking about what conditions to offer. According to the news from various sources, this Chen Xiyi was extremely loyal, and it was not a big deal to want to recruit him. Easy stuff, especially if they don't have much of an advantage of their own.
In the end, everyone decided to play the emotional card. After all, if you talk about money with a loyal person, the other party will not take refuge in you, and at the same time, the favorability of you will drop. This is simply the next choice.
No one thinks of taking a slanted sword at all. At this time, it is all about safety, and they use high-ranking officials and rich salary to attract them. Among other things, this disobedient behavior will reduce Emperor Xi's senses. You are still in power, and you dare to promise these things without becoming the crown prince?
You must know that even the crown prince didn't dare to say that he wanted Chen Xiyi to be the head of the officials, it was just a tactful expression, and he didn't even dare to say it out loud, for fear that these secret spies in the East Palace would find out and report it To Tianhou and Emperor Xi.
The princes are not without brains, and they are still strict in this respect, so the solicitation is generally based on emotional cards, and then supplemented with money, beauties, etc. As for high-ranking officials and rich salary, they can only politely express that they will wait for him to take over Afterwards, there were many rewards.
The premise is to have a superior position. If there is no superior position, then the investment must have failed.
Investment is risky. It is impossible to say that you will earn 100% if you invest in it. There is no reason to only earn and not lose. Even princes like princes have the risk of collapse, let alone these princes who are fighting for the dragon. , the possibility of a crash is greater.
Most of the people have already packed their bags, or find a favorite prince to continue to be a disciple to gamble on the success of the dragon, or leave with their savings over the years, not intending to get involved in this dangerous event of seizing the heirloom Life.
Chen Xiyi was different, he hadn't packed his bags yet.
"Mr. Chen, what are you thinking about? Tianhou is very sincere to you. As long as you are willing to join Tianhou's command, you will be guaranteed endless glory and wealth." The dark guard looked at Chen Xiyi who was packing his bags, with a tone of voice A trace of impatience.
If this person leaves, wouldn't his mission fail?
The penalty for failing a mission in the Dark Guard is not light, even if the mission is so difficult this time.
"Prosperity and wealth are but nothing in the blink of an eye." Chen Xiyi shook his head and said with a sigh.
This made the dark guard's heart sink. The other party was not willing to accept the soft and hard, and he was simply too difficult.
And you can't do it directly. The opponent is Ziyun. Apart from their hidden guards, there are other forces paying attention, but Emperor Xi doesn't care. After making a move, other forces are basically just watching.
But looking at it, once the hidden guards go too far, they will take action. After all, it is too overbearing to kill a person who is not willing to join the Queen of Heaven.
Wouldn't everyone have to look at the faces of these hidden guards in the future?
In this court, the hidden guards are not the only one, so how could they dare to take action against Chen Xiyi, Ziyun, other forces refused, not even Emperor Xi.
Emperor Xi does not lack first-rank members of Ziyun, but it does not mean that he does not need them. Every Ziyun is the pillar of the country. How could it be possible for the other party to kill him? In fact, it was still in the Great Seal Dynasty, and the fertile water did not flow to outsiders.
If it is really killed, the loss will be great.
So the dark guards just have no choice.
"Mr. Chen, this..." the dark guard wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chen Xiyi.
"I know you have difficulties, so I can take a walk with you. The Empress Dowager is famous and the birth mother of the crown prince. If she is really worthy of allegiance, then I can also work for the Empress Dowager." Chen Xiyi changed the subject abruptly.
This turning point has nothing to do with the context at all, and it almost confused the hidden guard.
Fortunately, I quickly calmed down in my heart, as long as I am willing to go, the rest can only be left to Tianhou.
He felt that he should be regarded as a success in soliciting, and the other party was willing to go with him, which meant that he also had this intention.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I am very grateful, and please come with me. I have prepared a carriage for you, and I will have someone to take you into the palace to meet the queen." The dark guard said gratefully immediately.
Regardless of whether the other party is sincere or not, as long as he is willing to enter the palace to meet him, his task will be considered completed. If the follow-up is really unwilling to work for the Empress, then this punishment will not fall on him, and the Empress will definitely not blame him. his.
"It seems that your preparations are quite appropriate. You are worthy of being the secret guards who frighten the officials. You have considered the matter quite properly." Chen Xiyi chuckled and said in a rather teasing tone.
The dark guard also looked a little embarrassed, and could only explain: "Working for the queen, why should I cherish my mere reputation."
What he said was just and righteous, but it sounded a bit high-sounding.
Whoever wants to lurk in the official family to be a servant or a concubine is nothing more than a last resort.
