In fact, some parts of this news were also deleted, for example, Zhong Kui later turned into an evil ghost, and later the old emperor turned into an evil ghost.
If such news were sent out directly, people might find it ridiculous.
But the previous news from the court was even more absurd.
Even the top student in high school couldn't help but feel sympathetic at this moment.
Although he had taken advantage of Zhong Kui's death to become the top scorer, the Crown Prince at the time humiliated the top scorer so much, forcing Zhong Kui to death before the palace examination, and was so careless afterwards...
So what if he got the top scorer in the imperial examination?
That ridiculous prince has now become the emperor!
Who knows if he will become even worse?
Officials in the imperial court all had their own channels of information, more or less.
They also had some suspicions about this matter.
After all, Zhong Kui, the champion who had just shined the day before, died in unclear circumstances.
Just as Kong Hanan said, this matter cannot be concealed.
A group of eunuchs and maids can be killed to silence them.
But how many people in the entire imperial city heard the announcement of entry that night?
Zhong Kui was summoned to the palace overnight. How many people along the way knew this news?
There are no end to the killing!
Behind Zhong Kui is the underworld and the newly appointed Emperor of Fengdu, Kong Hanan, the god of death who governs the underworld.
Why can’t Zhong Kui’s sister know the truth from the mouths of the dead?
As soon as Zhong Li showed up, they began to believe it a little. Due to their status, they kept their mouths shut, but they were already extremely disappointed with the emperor who had just ascended the throne.
The other protagonist in the vortex, Emperor Qi II, was currently getting angry in the Golden Palace.
"Catch them all and put them in jail, all of them!"
"I have already appointed Kong Han'an as the Emperor of Fengdu and Zhong Kui as the Door God. What else do you want?"
"A bunch of unruly people! Shame on you!"
Eunuch Zhao Yao had to be careful and stay by the side of the new emperor.
"Your Majesty, please don't get too angry. Those unruly people simply feel the compensation is insufficient. I have a suggestion."
He did not die. He was saved by the prince who woke up later.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was also canonized and given the official title of Minister of the Imperial Chariots.
Therefore, he did not need to call himself a slave, he only needed to call himself a subject.
"Your Majesty, logically speaking, after you become emperor, the Crown Princess should become the Empress, but Your Majesty has not yet issued an edict..."
Emperor Qi II interrupted him tyrannically.
"That's because her family is so powerful. If we make her the queen, wouldn't that just make her relatives more powerful?"
"Just say what you want to say, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Yao gave a flattering smile.
"Oh, your majesty, I understand your concerns. The current situation is just right. We can kill two birds with one stone."
"Although Zhong Kui is ugly, I heard that his sister is as beautiful as a fairy. Why don't you take her into the palace and make her your queen? This would be a great honor. Not only would those unruly people, but even the entire court would be speechless."
"The Zhong family has declined. Only Zhong's father, Zhong Shubai, once served as a county magistrate, but he died some time ago in Jiange County. Zhong's mother was separated from her family in a natural disaster and is likely dead as well. Although Zhong Kui was both civil and military, he is also dead. You don't need to worry about the influence of foreign relatives at all."
Emperor Qi II glared at him.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Zhao Yao already understood in his heart that his master was interested in this proposal.
Without saying a word, he waved his hand and a servant brought the portrait.
The portrait is lifelike, with Zhong Li in plain clothes kneeling on the ground. It is exactly the same statue that someone made today using the Mohist mechanism.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you have to dress in filial piety. Zhong Li looks pretty and lively, and she is indeed very charming.
Although Qi II was not greedy for women, he thought that without the constraints of his relatives...
He was moved.
"First take her into the Imperial City and teach her some rules."
Zhao Yao's eyelids drooped.
"Do you need to speak to the Master?"
When the new emperor ascends the throne, his team will naturally be promoted.
For example, the prime minister Kong Sheng, or the grand tutor.
However, Taifu is one of the Three Dukes, a duke, which is just a title and does not necessarily have real power.
The move of Emperor Qi II was actually a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.
When the old emperor was alive, Confucius had always suggested moving the capital to Luoyang to get rid of the constraints of the Taoist orthodoxy.
Therefore, Taifu Kongsheng was sent to Luoyang to supervise the construction of the imperial palace.
Even after he finished carrying the coffin and received recognition for his ascension to the throne, Confucius took the order and left.
At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne.
Logically speaking, Zhao Yao shouldn't have asked such unnecessary questions.
After all, these actions of Emperor Qi II have already shown that he is eager to break free from the constraints of Confucius.
Speaking any further at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire.
But he just wanted to add fuel to the fire.
The thought that Confucius wanted to silence him had become a nightmare in his heart, and he hated Confucius so much.
"Don't ask that old man. If you ask him, he will definitely say it's against etiquette. Let the Grand Tutor stay in Luoyang and build the imperial palace properly."
"By the way, pass the order down. All places must fully cooperate with the Grand Tutor in building the city. The imperial palace must be completed before July!"
"This imperial city always gives me a haunted feeling. I feel sick when I stay here."
Zhao Yao nodded and left.
Of course he knew he had come up with a bad idea.
No one in the court, civil or military, would agree.
If the emperor stands against the aristocratic families, he will definitely be overthrown.
But he said that on purpose.
If it weren't for the Great Qi, he might have inherited the throne of Zhao.
But now, he has become a eunuch.
He not only hated Confucius, but also hated the Great Qi.
Now, the Taoist Saint has returned to the throne, the Confucius Saint has left the center, and the old emperor has returned to heaven.
