"Why!"

When Su Chengji heard him talking about this, he shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Cuo couldn't help but frowned. Is the matter so bad? Even if the new boss and the Zhao family don't deal with it, he should at least be someone who cares about the Queen Mother, right? They are all that woman's lackeys.

It's impossible to bite you to death.

"This time our uncle and nephew are not having a good time."

Su Chengji said with a heavy expression.

"Although I shouldn't criticize your Majesty in private...but my uncle really can't understand the current situation."

"Who is the new boss?"

Zhao Cuo asked a little uneasily.

"He's a royalist."

Su Chengji said word by word.

"That is……"

Zhao Cuo was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react. Although his predecessor was born in a prince's family, he was helplessly spoiled and did not know much about current affairs.

"Partition walls have ears. Let's go into the study and discuss it in detail. The situation now is dark and unclear."

Su Chengji took Mr. Zhao into a secret room, where the deputy head personally poured tea, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Please uncle, please help clarify my nephew's doubts."

Zhao Cuo was confused. What is the so-called royalist party? Literally, it means a group that protects the imperial power.

"Wu Jiu, you also know who has the final say in today's Dayu, and we all serve the empress."

Su Chengji said solemnly, Zhao Cuo nodded gently without interrupting him.

"But it has been two years since the new monarch took the throne, and the current emperor is over twenty years old, so he is not a young master."

"Uncle Chengji, what do you mean..."

Zhao Cuo tilted his head in confusion.

"Then the royalists are the faction that wants the emperor to return to power?"

The young man was really confused. How could he be so desperate? Didn't the two overturned cars in front of him serve as a warning?

"Exactly."

Su Chengji nodded.

"What gave those people that courage?"

Zhao Cuo fell into deep thought.

Where military power exists, it will prosper; where military power goes, it will fall.

The Empress Dowager Zhao has been monopolizing power for decades. Whether it is the Imperial Guards in the Imperial City or the Shenwu Camp with 100,000 soldiers outside Xiangjing, she has the power to dispatch these soldiers. There is no doubt that the Empress is incompetent.

victorious existence.

"Why did the emperor rebel?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Chengji couldn't help laughing, but he quickly put on a straight face and continued to say in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the royalists are nothing more than cowards and can't get on the stage. But I can't understand the situation this time. No one can take the position of Chief of the Execution Department without the approval of the Queen Mother."

"Who is it?"

Zhao Cuo became more and more confused.

"That lord is Lin Anmin, former cabinet minister, former minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and crown prince's Taibao!"

"Who?"

Young Master Zhao has never heard of this person's name, but he does know that the cabinet is the highest authority that directly serves the emperor. It was dissolved by the Queen Mother two years ago and the Privy Council was reorganized.

"This Master Lin is incredible."

Su Chengji was not surprised by his confused look.

"When Emperor Xuan was in power, Lord Lin Anmin always held the position of chief minister! Later, the empress controlled the political leaders to dissolve the cabinet. He resisted with his life and was almost beheaded at the Meridian Gate."

Zhao Cuo: "..."

Was Lin Anmin praised so highly to highlight the domineering power of the Queen Mother?

"At that time, the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty were extremely silent. It was Emperor Yongzhao who personally begged the Queen Mother, and he was able to save his life. However, even so, he was demoted to the people. Wujiu, why did the Queen Mother let him come back and sit in a high position?

"

Su Chengji asked puzzledly.

"First of all, rule out the possibility that Queen Mother Zhao wants to return power to His Majesty."

Zhao Cuo said without hesitation. During his brief interaction with Empress Dowager Zhao yesterday, he knew that this woman was power-hungry and extremely controlling, and it was absolutely impossible for her to delegate power. The two deposed emperors ended up in this situation just because they wanted to take power.

This is how it ends.

"Perhaps Mr. Lin has given up on the bright side... abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Su Chengji shook his head subconsciously.

"Sir Lin Anmin has a stubborn character and has been loyal to the Chu family of the royal family all his life. He is a veteran minister of the four dynasties and the most prestigious royalist on the surface. He will not serve the empress."

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

After saying that, he sighed again.

"Well, it's useless for you and me to say this here. The Queen Mother's holy will is beyond our ability to guess."

"makes sense."

Zhao Cuo nodded.

"This is your identity plate, Wu Jiu."

The deputy head took out a yellow iron token from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Cuo. His face became solemn again and he said seriously:

"Zheng Guogong's palace has suffered such a catastrophe. Wu Jiu, you have no time to play around. Now you must shoulder the responsibility of the Zhao family. This must be the reason why I asked you to serve as an errand in the Execution Department."

"That's what uncle taught me."

Zhao Cuo stretched out his hands and took over the sign with "Zhao Cuo Third Class" etched on it.

He also knew the levels of the Execution Department, which were divided into three levels just like titles. For example, his father was a first-class Duke and the Xia family who was persecuted by the Xia Demon Girl was only a third-class uncle.

Above this level, there is also the Chief Execution Officer, whose status is comparable to that of the Deputy Chief. Currently, there are only four Chief Execution Officers in all departments of the Execution Department.

"The Execution Department has a strict hierarchy. According to the Queen's wishes, you have to start from the third-level Execution Officer. Don't be too ambitious when doing things well."

"No blame for knowing."

"besides……"

Su Chengji's face suddenly turned gloomy again.

"Your appointment was issued by Mr. Lin Anmin... He asked you to serve under Chief Yan Yang."

"Chief Yan?"

A cold man's face appeared in Zhao Cuo's mind. The management system of the Execution Department is simple and crude, that is, several chiefs lead many first- to third-level executioners to run errands. Currently, he has the serving chiefs of the Execution Department.

Impression, this Yan Yang...

"If you follow the other three chiefs, uncle, you don't have to worry about anything. After all, they were all brought by the Duke and they will naturally take good care of you."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly.

"But Chief Yan Yang is ruthless. Sometimes he doesn't even give you the respect of your father. He won't give you any special treatment even if you think about it. You have to protect yourself and act according to your ability in any situation."

"My nephew understands."

"That's good."

Su Chengji nodded uneasily.

"It's past the midnight hour. It's okay for you to go to Chief Yan Yang's hall to report. If there is anything that can't be solved, tell your uncle immediately."

Zhao Cuo obediently said yes. He now had an inexplicable feeling that he was the dandy villain in the novel. If he was bullied, with his father's relationship network, he could always recruit a group of uncles and uncles to support him.

Taking the executioner's token and walking out of the study, he walked towards the office of his future boss, Chief Yan Yang, feeling relaxed and walking briskly.
