251. Perverted Factory Man 2
Emperor Chengqing had few heirs, with only six princes and four princesses. Among the six princes, the second prince and the sixth prince died young, and there are only four princes living today.
The eldest prince, Zongzheng Qinghui, was the roommate of Emperor Chengqing when he was staying in his residence. On the 30th of this year, the princess is the legitimate daughter of Zhang Jiang, the chief envoy of the Western Guizhou Province. She gave birth to a daughter for the eldest prince. In addition to the prince's concubine, the prince's palace also had two concubines and several concubines. The emperor's eldest grandson was born from one of the concubines.
The birth mother of the eldest prince Zongzheng Qinghui was born in a humble birth. Because of his contribution to giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, he was canonized as a noble person after Emperor Chengqing ascended the throne. Since then, he has not been granted the title again because he fell out of favor with Emperor Chengqing in his early years, and Zongzheng Qinghui along with him. The eldest son of the emperor didn't have much weight in Emperor Chengqing's mind.
The third prince Zongzheng Qingguang's biological mother was the concubine of Emperor Chengqing when he was in residence. After Emperor Chengqing ascended the throne, he was named a concubine. Zongzheng Qingguang is twenty and three years old this year. His maternal family is quite prestigious among literati. His uncle is an official. He is a second-grade cabinet bachelor, so when the position of the prince is still uncertain, relying on the power of his mother's family, the third prince has the highest voice among the literati.
After the third prince, all the girls in the palace were princesses. It was not until the birth of the fourth prince, Zongzheng Qingqi, that the deadlock was broken.
The biological mother of the fourth prince is Wanqi Lan. The Wanqi clan is an autonomous ethnic minority in the northwest of Dashang. The Wanqi clan has been guarding the mountains all year round. There is a natural poisonous miasma there as a protective barrier for the Wanqi clan. Even the population of the clan There were only 40,000 to 50,000 people, and the emperor of Dashang did not dare to do anything to them.
In order to stabilize the situation in the northwest, no matter how the dynasties changed, every emperor tried to win over the Wanqi clan. As the little princess of Wanqi's generation, Wan Qilan voluntarily entered the palace of Dashang and married the already famous Shang. Emperor Chengqing, who was over forty years old, also caused quite a stir at the time.
In order to express the importance she attached to the Wanqi clan, Wanqi Lan surpassed the old people who were hiding in the palace when she first entered the palace and was named Lan Guiren. After giving birth to the emperor's heir, she was also named Lan Concubine because Emperor Chengqing took pity on her and stayed away. In her homeland, her treatment in the palace was always the same as that of a concubine.
Zongzheng Qingqi is only ten years old this year. Compared with his elder brother who has grown up long ago and started a family, he can only be regarded as a child. In addition, his biological mother Lan Bi was born in a minority tribe and has foreign ancestry. The possibility of inheriting the throne is almost Zero, the two brothers in front of them all focused on the younger fifth prince Zongzheng Qingzuo.
Speaking of the fifth prince's biological mother, she is indeed a figure that cannot be underestimated.
Emperor Chengqing was relatively stingy when it came to enfeoffing the harem's female relatives. Otherwise, as the biological mother of the eldest prince, even if she was not favored, she would not be just a noble person. As a princess of the Wanqi clan, Lan Bi gave birth to an imperial heir. Even if It's not too much to call her a concubine.
In Emperor Cheng Qing's harem, apart from the queen who died young, there were only two first-class concubines, Concubine De and Concubine Hui. After Concubine Hui died of illness three years ago, Concubine De was the only one.
It is precisely because of Emperor Chengqing's stinginess in treating the harem's female relatives that the fifth prince's biological mother is unusual.
Concubine Jiang was born as a palace maid. She was favored by Emperor Cheng Qing after he was drunk. She was a noble when she was first named. After giving birth to the fifth prince, she was named Concubine Jiang. Although there was no formal title, anyone with a discerning eye could see that her favor was in the harem. Above all the concubines.
The sixth prince who died young was also the daughter of Concubine Jiang. Because of his pity for Jiang, who was still a concubine at the time, Emperor Chengqing ignored the objections of his courtiers and canonized her as the concubine head of the five concubines. At that time, she followed Emperor Cheng Qing's concubine, who had the phoenix seal on her palm. She jumped from the lowest maid in the harem to the most noble woman in the harem.
Nowadays, Emperor Cheng Qing is addicted to elixirs and pursues immortality, and has almost no access to the harem. However, Concubine Jiang still has the ability to let Emperor Cheng Qing go to her Fengqi Palace in his spare time.
Nowadays, there are two groups of forces in the harem, one group is the concubines born into aristocratic women, headed by Concubine De, and the other group is the concubines born into poverty, headed by Concubine Jiang.
Of course, in addition to these two groups of forces, there are also concubines like Lan Bi who do not rely on each other and concentrate on living their own lives. However, there are not many such concubines. After all, not every concubine is like Lan Bi, relying on the Wanqi clan. , even if the two sides do not help each other, they will not arouse hostility from either side.
In this harem, it has always been difficult to be a wallflower.
Because of his addiction to alchemy, Emperor Cheng Qing's body became more and more corrupted. Now not only the former dynasty, but also the female relatives in the harem were waiting for Emperor Cheng Qing to make a decision on which prince to make as the crown prince.
As the most favored and trusted eunuch of Emperor Cheng Qing, Xiao Chu might not want princes like the eldest prince and third prince who have grown up and have their own decisions to ascend the throne.
In this way, the two slightly younger princes, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, naturally became his best puppets to support.
Many people think that Concubine Jiang has a greater chance of winning. Compared with the aloof and lonely Lan Bi, who was born into the Wanqi clan, Jiang Guifei, who was also born as a palace maid, and the eunuch Xiao Chu obviously have a common experience, and there is a Wanqi clan behind Lan Bi. , and the only thing Jiang Guifei can rely on is the favor of Emperor Cheng Qing. Without the help of her mother's family, and without the emperor's protection, Jiang Guifei will only be isolated and helpless in this deep palace. If Xiao Chu wants to support a puppet , obviously Concubine Jiang and her son are more appropriate.
These words were only circulated in a small area, but many palace maids and eunuchs believed it deeply. Even though Emperor Chengqing's health became worse and worse, and the days of visiting Fengqi Palace became shorter and shorter, the palace people not only did not dare to deduct Fengqi Palace's regulations, Whenever good things come in from outside, they are always sent to Fengqi Palace, just like when Concubine Jiang is in great favor. After Concubine Jiang has finished selecting them, they are sent to other palaces.
The other concubines dared not speak out about the actions of the eunuchs. Who asked the eunuchs to take orders from Xiao Chu? It depends on the owner to beat the dog. What's more, in the eyes of most people, the actions of those eunuchs and maids were attributed to Xiao Chu. Ordered in private.
The acquiescence of Xiao Chu, the governor of the East Factory, to their actions also convinced them of their suspicions. Now, before Emperor Cheng Qing died, there were people in the harem who respected Concubine Jiang and the fifth prince.
The eldest prince and the third prince saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. It was a pity that Xiao Chu had many gang members in the former dynasty and the harem, and the Jin Yiwei under his control had a notorious reputation, which hung over everyone's heads. Who dares to attack him without full confidence in his sword?
They didn't see that Li Yushi just read one of his books in the court, but he was falsely accused of contempt of imperial power and sent to prison. Others believed that they did not have Li Yushi's authority, and they did not dare to challenge Xiao Chu's authority.
The old and fatuous Emperor Cheng Qing blindly believed in Xiao Chu's words. I'm afraid that now that he wants to appoint any prince as the crown prince, Emperor Cheng Qing will agree without even thinking about it.
Nowadays, those who have some backbone will retire and return to their hometown, or else they will become Governor Xiao's yes-man, and those who still want to insist that Emperor Cheng Qing personally handle the affairs of the court above the court, their final end can only be like that of Li Jinzhong.
Traitors and sycophants are in power, and the Great Shang is dead. All their courtiers can do is follow the crowd and protect themselves wisely, which is sad and pathetic.
At this time, some veterans couldn't help but imagine in their hearts that if the general Yan Zhaonan was still alive and the Yan family had heirs, with their daring loyalty to the great merchants, wouldn't a sycophant like Xiao Chu be able to do it? There was no chance of taking the stage at all.
But that was just a fantasy. Everyone in the Yan family died tragically, and not even the whole body was left. With such a bloody example in front of you, how could a great merchant dare to have such a loyal minister.
*****
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao is here."
Emperor Chengqing is fifty and five years old, but he looks no different from an old man in his seventies. He has white hair, a thin body, and an abnormal flush on his face. He looks crazy and has no imperial bearing at all.
After hearing the little eunuch waiting beside him say that Xiao Chu was here, he became excited. He hurriedly got down from the dragon chair, took the brocade box in his hand, and walked down the steps like a treasure. Before he could wait, Yan Chu saluted him and helped him up.
"Look, my dear, this is the latest elixir refined by Taoist Master Qingyun. I took one, and I just felt like I was in high spirits. As Taoist Master said, I felt like I was riding the wind and wanted to go away. I want to keep taking this elixir. , soaring in the daytime is not an illusion.”
The brocade box in Emperor Cheng Qing's hand was opened, and it contained dozens of golden elixirs. It is not known whether the color was formed naturally during the elixir refining, or whether it was dyed with some pigment later. It has to be said that the other party's The technique is still superb, the elixir is plump and round, and the golden color on the outer layer is faintly fluorescent. It does not look like an ordinary vulgar object.
No wonder Emperor Cheng Qing was so excited this time, he obviously really regarded this box of pills as a good thing.
"Such a magical thing must be shared with my beloved."
At this time, Yan Chu, who appeared in front of Emperor Cheng Qing, had changed his clothes. The red clothes he wore before were stained with blood and were too aggressive. Now he was wearing a moon-white brocade clothes with a It is embroidered with a python pattern, and to a rough look, it looks no different from a dragon pattern.
Having subdued his coquettish aura, Yan Chu now looked just a little more out of the ordinary than handsome. His beauty was eye-catching, but not so much that people would consciously associate him with demons and charms the first time they saw him. in one piece.
Emperor Cheng Qing admired his beloved, looked at the elixirs in the brocade box, picked through them, selected a slightly smaller elixir, and handed it to Yan Chu's hand with distress.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the medicine."
Yan Chu took the pill without any hesitation and drank it with gratitude.
"It's true as your Majesty said. After taking this elixir, you will feel a faint feeling of warmth in your abdominal organs. I think this is the wonder of it."
Yan Chu's words made Emperor Cheng Qing very happy. He carefully hid the remaining pills and looked at Yan Chu and laughed.
Taoist Priest Qingyun was right. Xiao Chu was indeed his lucky star. He was born to assist him, the emperor of the ages.
He had doubts about Taoist Priest Qingyun's words before, but several events happened one after another, which verified Taoist Priest Qingyun's original predictions one by one, especially when he thought about that time when the remnants of the previous dynasty actually ambushed the Tiantian Temple. If Xiao Chu hadn't been loyal and sacrificed his life, Save him, I'm afraid he will die on the altar that time.
And Xiao Chu also suffered from heart palpitations because he blocked an arrow for him that time and hurt his heart.
In order to pursue the way to immortality, Xiao Chu loyally managed the government for him and recruited all the talented people in the world for him. When everyone thought that his attempt to live forever was a daydream, only Xiao Chu still supported him. For every decision made, in the eyes of Emperor Cheng Qing, Xiao Chu was not only a loyal minister, but also his confidant.
Otherwise, he would not have rewarded him with such a precious elixir.
Emperor Cheng Qing had already thought about it. When he ascended to heaven, he would take Xiao Chu, his loyal servant, with him. When he reached the heaven, he would make him a minor god.
The emperor in the human world is not as carefree as the gods.
"How is the interrogation of that old slave Li Jinzhong doing?"
Emperor Chengqing had not gone to court to handle government affairs for a long time. Any important matters in the court were presented in the form of memorials, and these memorials were reviewed by Xiao Chu on his behalf.
Yesterday, on a whim, he suddenly wanted to take charge of the government. Li Jinzhong, a rebellious and traitorous minister who relied on his elders, actually tried to threaten him with a beating pole, asking him to behead a loyal minister like Xiao Chu in public, and then reorganize the government affairs.
Ridiculous, I don’t know what to say!
In the view of the already crazy Emperor Cheng Qing, what Li Jinzhong did was just to hinder his advancement. Therefore, after Xiao Chu sued Li Jinzhong for fear of being disloyal, Emperor Cheng Qing let Xiao Chu general He grabbed it.
"Master Li..." Yan Chu looked hesitant.
"But it doesn't matter, I forgive you."
Looking at Xiao Chu's attitude, Emperor Cheng Qing frowned. Why, could it be that Li Jinzhong was still dissatisfied with his emperor's decision?
"Master Li..."
Yan Chu concealed his role in it and only repeated Li Jinzhong's words of cursing him for being a treacherous sycophant and Emperor Cheng Qing for being stupid.
As Emperor Cheng Qing's face became increasingly ugly, he changed the topic: "Master Li also said that if it weren't for him twenty-three years ago, how could His Majesty have so easily eliminated more than 30 members of the Yan family, as well as the Yan Mansion? There are more than two hundred servants and hundreds of guards."
He had been silently observing Emperor Cheng Qing's expression. At the sudden change in his expression, Yan Chu said considerately: "At that time, I angrily rebuked Mr. Li. Who doesn't know that the entire Yan family was massacred by bandits? , and Yan Zhaonan colluded with small foreign countries and hid dragon robes in the palace with the intention of treason. Everyone could punish such an unfaithful minister, and he had a relationship with your majesty. However, Mr. Li dismissed the minister's words and only said that your majesty knew At the beginning, I didn’t dare to make the decision without authorization, and I was afraid that Mr. Li’s nonsense would damage His Majesty’s reputation. I could only ask my men to gag Mr. Li’s mouth and torture him. He wanted to know who instigated him to say it. These words are used to slander His Majesty.”
"Yes, I also want to know who is instigating Li Jinzhong behind his nonsense."
Emperor Cheng Qing's ugly face returned to normal slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Chu with satisfaction.
Everyone in the world said that he favored eunuchs and courtiers, but they also didn’t think about what future this kind of slave could have except his favor. Compared with favoring those courtiers, Xiao Chu was destined to have no queen outside the palace. The eunuchs who had no other involvements were favored, which reassured him. No matter how much power they controlled, they were destined to be unable to make waves.
Others thought he was stupid, but Emperor Cheng Qing thought he was very smart.
Xiao Chu was his usual knife, hitting wherever he pointed, but he bore all the infamy for him.
Today, the other party mentioned something that he had buried in his heart for many years, but he didn't want to make him unhappy at the mention of the Yan family. But it was just unhappy, and more of the anger in his heart was directed at Li Jinzhong.
That rebellious traitor actually threatened him with the incident involving the Yan family. He really thought he was thinking of his old relationship and didn't dare to attack him.
"You don't need to interfere with Li Jinzhong's affairs. Guhui will send first-class bodyguard Zhang Fan to interrogate him."
Emperor Cheng Qing waved his hand, he did not want Xiao Chu to get involved in those matters.
As an emperor, a once successful emperor, even if the theory of immortality corroded his mind, the most basic knowledge of emperors was still infiltrated in his blood. Therefore, although he trusted Xiao Chu, a man with no roots, the same They are also afraid of him and suppress him in other aspects.
Zhang Fan?
Yan Chu's eyes flashed slightly. He was so unassuming that he didn't expect him to be a confidant of Emperor Cheng Qing. When he encountered such a difficult problem with the Yan family, he was the first person he thought of. It was obvious that he was the one who thought of him. status in the mind of Emperor Chengqing.
In the past, he had eliminated dissidents in and outside the palace, but he had ignored Zhang Fan, a first-class guard who had been relatively silent in the past. If it hadn't been for this test, he would not have known that Zhang Fan was Emperor Cheng Qing's man.
In front of Emperor Cheng Qing, Yan Chu naturally had a calm expression and kept responding, but in his heart, Yan Chu had other decisions.

"Empress, do you think Mr. Xiao Chang will really support our fifth prince to become the crown prince?"
In Fengqi Palace, a gorgeous and dazzling woman was lying on the beauty couch. Her long white fingers were pinching the grapes peeled by the palace servant. There was no strong emotion or anger between her brows.
"What? You want to know? Then why don't you go to Xiao Changgong and ask on my behalf?"
The beautiful woman turned sideways slightly, and her loose clothes opened with her movements, revealing a section of fair and delicate skin. Under the candlelight, the slight halo dazzled the eyes.
Because of her reclining movement, her waist appeared thinner, her buttocks plumper, and her figure slender and convex. She also looked more charming and alluring. Even though she was also a woman, the palace servants beside her could not help but sniff. My heart felt hot.
Jiang Fengjiao took the crystal grape into her mouth, and licked her glossy lips with her red tongue. She couldn't help but sneer at the shy gaze of the palace lord, her face became even more arrogant. She had always known her own charm. , and also know how to maximize one's own charm.
Although she was born into a palace but managed to reach her current position, Jiang Fengjiao always knew better than others how to use her natural capital. Those noble-born, reserved and pretentious women in the harem were also the ones she despised and envied. .
Those people had everything, so they could naturally maintain their so-called bottom line for the dignity they talked about. But she was born with nothing, and had to fight for everything by herself.
It was just a few ounces of skin and flesh, so what did she have to worry about.
In order to climb to this position, she gave up her self-esteem, and now she was just one step away from getting there. Naturally, she would not let the great situation go to waste.
The palace people only thought that what she just said was a joke, but Jiang Fengjiao knew that she was serious.
Most of the castrated eunuchs in the palace were psychologically twisted. Having worked with those people, Jiang Fengjiao had long been accustomed to the bad habits and perverted behaviors of those eunuchs.
It's also because the rules in the palace are inhumane. If you let a bunch of dead men stay with a group of charming but equally unsatisfied palace ladies, over time, there will be some problems. Don't look at the physical health of the eunuchs. No, to give a woman physical satisfaction does not necessarily require the eunuchs to do it themselves.
Jiang Fengjiao has a delicate appearance. As early as when she was a little palace maid, she had been coveted by many eunuchs, big and small. Those perverts who had no children or grandchildren used torture methods on the bed. Perhaps because of their psychological distortions, they Some of their behaviors are even worse than those of normal men, especially some eunuchs who have climbed to high positions and are not shy about some of their behaviors. Jiang Fengjiao has seen her sisters in the same room limping back and taking off their clothes several times. , there is not a piece of intact flesh on the body.
Because of that experience, Jiang Fengjiao swore that she must be a master in order to avoid being raped by those perverts.
But she never expected that she would climb to the position of a noble concubine, but in order to achieve a higher status, she still had to lie down like a eunuch.
Xiao Chu's reputation among the palace ladies was good because he was powerful enough and handsome enough. Compared with other ugly and older eunuchs, he was obviously a better destination for the palace ladies.
It's just that after staying in the palace for so long, I haven't heard that he has the intention to have sex with the palace maids. Everyone said that he has a high vision. Now he doesn't have sex with him. I'm afraid it's just because he doesn't like any of the palace ladies who are courteous to him.
They are all eunuchs who have been pure since they were young. After those eunuchs became powerful, the first thing they did was to buy land and a house outside the palace, then marry a woman with an innocent wealth and adopt several children. This is the obsession of almost all eunuchs. Love is also the life that all eunuchs most yearn for.
There is no reason why Xiao Chu is different from other eunuchs. At most, he has greater authority and a higher vision than other eunuchs.
Jiang Fengjiao gently brushed against her fair skin. She and Xiao Chu were of the same type, and she could see the other's wolfish ambitions.
For a eunuch like him, what could be more exciting than having a stunning beauty like her under him? What's more, she also has another identity, that is, the most beloved woman of Emperor Cheng Qing, and also the queen of the harem. The highest-ranking concubine.
Can Xiao Chu resist the temptation to hold the emperor's woman under him and play with it?
Jiang Fengjiao was very confident in her body. She firmly believed that the position of the prince would eventually belong to her prince, and the position of the queen mother would eventually belong to her.
No matter how much she pays for it, she will be happy with it.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince has returned to the palace."
Yanyunxuan was filled with joy because the fourth prince Zongzheng Qingqi was back.
The princes who have reached the age of six will be sent to live with the princes in the front palace. There are only five days a month to get together with their biological mothers. Therefore, every time the fourth prince returns to the palace, it is like a holiday for the palace people of Yanyunxuan. The presence.
"Qier has lost weight."
Wan Qilan looked at the young emperor, and his cold face in the past could not help but soften.
"Mother concubine."
Zongzheng Qingqi is not big in stature, but he already behaves like a young adult.
He took a sip of the tonic soup that Wan Qilan had made for him early in the morning. Looking at the loyal servants in the palace who were only served by his mother and concubine, he couldn't help but let out the anger he had learned in the palace.
"My father is really stupid. He actually trusted that sycophant Xiao Chu so much. If he waits for my brother to ascend the throne and take power, the first person to be eliminated will be that treacherous minister."
Zongzheng Qingqi's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he didn't know how angry he was in the palace school because of Xiao Chu.
"Bang——"
Wan Qilan's expression was a little unnaturally stiff. The soup spoon he was holding in his hand fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a thick blanket on the ground and the spoon was not broken. However, the blanket got stained I'm afraid I can't use the soup either.
There was a conflict between the beloved young son on one side and the old lover on the other. For a while, Wan Qilan didn't know how to adjust.
