Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 782
"Sister, these bastards are spreading rumors about our lord, are we just going to watch them tarnish the reputation of our Zheng family?" Jiang Caibing frowned suddenly, and said to Xinyue impatiently.

"Sister Wangfei, this is a teahouse, and there are all kinds of schools and schools. If we have anything to do, we should go back to the house and discuss it!" Xinyue looked around, and quickly whispered into Jiang Caibing's ear.

Depressed and lamenting, Jiang Caibing and Xinyue, accompanied by a girl, returned to the Zheng Mansion. At this time, a group of imperial guards suddenly appeared in front of the Zheng Mansion to investigate.

"Hey, who sent you here? This is Prince Zheng's Mansion, do you know what it means to be a criminal?" Jiang Caibing raised her eyebrows, pointed at the leader of the imperial guards, and reprimanded sharply.

"Concubine Zheng, the emperor has a decree. The Zheng family is suspected of forcing the palace to rebel. I was sent by the emperor to search Zheng Wang's residence!" Ding Ming, the commander of the imperial guards, said to Jiang Caibing.

"Xinyue, who did our Zheng family offend? Why did they abuse us so much?" Jiang Caibing was so angry that she stamped her feet and lamented.

"Concubine Zheng, if you dare to obstruct this official's search, according to the emperor's will, no matter who you are, you will be arrested!" The commander of the imperial guards shouted to Jiang Cai indifferently.

At the end of the day, the Luoyang Palace lit the lamps, and Shui Jian reviewed the memorial presented by the courtiers in the Yangxing Hall, and Long Yan was furious.

"Your Majesty, what happened? It made you so angry. Your Majesty must take good care of the dragon's body. Don't be harmed by these courtiers." Concubine Min Gui, wearing a skirt and a cloak, opened the pearl tassel curtain of the Yangxing Hall, lightly In front of Shuijian's case.

"My concubine, these guys actually wrote a letter scolding me for crossing the river and demolishing bridges and massacring Zhongliang? I rewarded Que Tu, and they said that Que Tu and the Queen Mother were broken, and I lost face. They suggested that I suppress Que Tu, and wait until I really get Que Tu back." Now, these guys turned around and scolded me for being ungrateful and ungrateful, really unreasonable!" Shui Jian stared at Concubine Min Gui, pointed at those memorials and cursed loudly.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, Longyan is furious. Many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were former ministers of the Empress Dowager. Of course, they were intimate with the Empress Dowager in secret. Scholars like Cheng Rong and Ming Chao were especially attractive in the court. The Emperor must decide the world arbitrarily The concubine thinks that these courtiers must be given a slap in the face. For example, if they object to the emperor's appointment of our heir as the new prince, the emperor wants to show them. Didn't they say that Die Tu is a hero? Resign and appoint the emperor's own confidantes, those dog slaves are nothing more than fallen trees and scattered, the emperor controls the excavation, and these old ministers will curry favor with the emperor." Concubine Min Gui's cherry lips made Shui Jian's heart flutter, and suddenly Shui Jian Throwing the teacup away, he laughed loudly at Concubine Min Gui: "Concubine Ai, it seems that you are the only person that Chao Zhongzhen trusts the most!"

The next day, in the Shuilong Shuren Palace, Shuijian scolded Qutu for hijacking the queen mother in front of the officials, and falsely reported his military exploits on the front line. The decree was announced, and the emperor's heir was formally registered as the prince on a certain day, and the former prince Baoen was abolished as the king of Qin. Empress Ma was not good at managing the six palaces, so she was confined to the Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, King Zheng defeated Xirong with great achievements. How could you believe the rumors spread by traitors and easily convict loyal ministers?" Qin Boyingming was filled with righteous indignation, held up the imperial wat, and knelt down to explain for Qutu.

"Yingming, you were fief a few days ago, why did you intercede for the rebels once you entered Beijing this time, and if you talk nonsense, I will depose your title as well!" Shui Jian glared at Yingming.fly into a rage.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you wait a little longer and don't punish the excavation!" At this time, Wei Hou suddenly stepped forward with a dark smile on his face, preventing Shui Jian from making an order.

"Marquis Wei, now that I have decided to deal with the excavation, why did you come to stop it?" Shui Jian stared at Marquis Wei in surprise and said.

"Your Majesty, is this subject sympathetic to Die Tu? I want to remind the Emperor that there are still [-] Huben troops led by Die Tu at Shuilong Pass. Generals such as Cheng Rong, Ming Chao An Tong, Xu Chao and others are all outside the pass. Your Majesty wants to be reckless." Excavating and beheading, I'm afraid that Cheng Rong and others will rebel outrageously!" Wei Hou said deliberately very worried.

"Well, Marquis Wei's words are very kind, so how should I successfully recall these generals to the capital?" Shui Jian Luxu said happily.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Emperor simply send someone to issue an order to the generals at Shuilongguan, saying that the Emperor has issued an order to marry the Queen Mother to King Zheng Qutu, and respectfully invite the Queen Mother to return to Luoyang to marry him. Take precautions, return to Beijing happily with Cheng Rong, Ming Chao and others, and the emperor can take them all down to avoid future troubles!" Wei Hou said with a sly smile.

"Marquis Wei is worthy of being my great Zhou clan. Well, I will immediately send Ding Ming, the commander of the imperial guards, to Shuilongguan to pass the decree!" Shui Jian was immediately delighted.

Speaking of the border, Cheng Rong, Ming Chao, An Tong and others suddenly learned that the commander of the imperial guards, Ding Ming, had come to announce the imperial edict with the emperor, and they were very surprised. They followed the Queen Mother Baosi to the Yuanmen of Shuilongguan.

Since Bao Si returned to Beijing alone after Jue Tu, she had been frowning and feeling depressed. When she heard that a new imperial decree had finally come from the capital, her brows were filled with joy, and she hurried to the gate with Hui Yue and Ming Yue.

Ding Ming, the commander of the imperial guards, saw that everyone was coming to greet him, so he dismounted quickly and solemnly read out the imperial edict issued by Shuijian.

"The Emperor's intention is to let the Empress Dowager go to Luoyang to marry King Zheng Jutu. Isn't this a magpie climbing a tree?" Both An Tong and Ming Chao were ecstatic.

"Du Tu was not reprimanded by the emperor in Luoyang, right?" Bao Si couldn't help but pursed her lips and asked Ding Ming.

"To the Empress Dowager, the Emperor attaches great importance to Prince Zheng, and admires the affection of Prince Zheng and the Empress Dowager, so he made an order to invite the Empress Dowager to return to Luan, and the Emperor will announce it to the world at that time!" Ding Ming said with a smile on his face. .

"Then it's hard work for Master Ding, please hurry up and entertain Master Ding!" Cheng Rong ordered his subordinates with joy.

Back at Shuilongguan Palace, Cheng Rong suddenly closed the door, cupped his hands to Baosi and said, "Mother, do you feel that this is a bit strange?"

"King Cheng and this palace are really worried about the same thing. The empress dowager married a feudal king. This has not been precedent in the 300 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's more, at this time, someone deliberately spread rumors about this palace and King Zheng, talking nonsense everywhere. At that time, he suddenly changed his mind and asked me to marry King Zheng, which is really weird!" Bao Si said with an eyebrow.

"Queen Dowager, I suspect that this matter is a trap set up by Ma Wumen and Weihou that bastard, maybe Jutu has already been captured by the emperor!" Cheng Rong guessed.

"Prince Cheng, if it is really a trick deliberately set up by that traitor, we might as well do nothing, and use our tricks to escort the Queen Mother back to the palace, and take this opportunity to punish the concubine Ma Wumen guard Hou Huagumin and the group of sword spirits. !" An Tong and Ming Chao came in filled with righteous indignation and encouraged in unison.

"I agree with everyone's strategy, but if we want to successfully enter Luoyang to kill traitors, do we need to bring the army into Luoyang Palace?" Bao Si stared at everyone and asked very wisely.

"Your Majesty, the girls Huiyue and Mingyue beside you are both highly skilled in martial arts. Why don't we let the soldiers of Huben pretend to be servants by your side and deliberately serve you into the palace. If treacherous men dare to make trouble, we will strike first!" Cheng Cheng Rong patted his forehead and suggested to Bao Si.

A month later, the mighty Huiluan army triumphantly returned to Beijing, but Luoyang City was strangely devoid of any warm atmosphere.

"Prince Cheng, I have noticed that the emperor's decree to let me return to Beijing to get married must be a poisonous trick set up by a traitor. You see, if the marriage is really done, why are the people in Luoyang so normal, as if they don't know anything? ?" Bao Si raised the curtain and said softly to Cheng Rong who was riding a horse.

"Your Majesty is really smart. Since the treacherous sycophants use this trick, then we simply use the name of welcoming the Empress Dowager to blow it up and let the palace girls play the sheng. When the people hear that the Empress Dowager is coming back, they will definitely take to the streets to watch the excitement. Ma Wu Those thieves would not dare to send troops to assassinate the Queen Mother!" Cheng Rong stroked his beard and laughed.

"The empress dowager's Luanjia has returned to the palace. Look, our hero has returned triumphantly!" The news of the empress dowager's return to Beijing immediately caused a sensation in the streets and alleys of the capital. The story of the story was endlessly eulogized, and when the Queen Mother returned to Luan in a magnificent car, there were bursts of excited cheers in the capital.

"Master Ma, Empress Dowager Ping returned to Luan. We sent people everywhere to spread the scandal about the Empress Dowager and Qutu. Not only did it not have the effect of smearing Dutu and Baosi, but people even reprimanded her. Now that Empress Dowager Ping has really returned to Beijing, it is time to It's so lively, how can we assassinate it brazenly?" Hua Gu, who was frightened and trembling, reported to Ma Wumen with a disappointed face.

"Lord Hua, Baosi and Jutu are notorious among the people. What are we afraid of? Since Baosi dared to return to the palace, she fell into our control. It is not easy for us to kill her?" Ma Wumen frantically said laughed wildly.

Empress Dowager Ping Baosi returned to the palace, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shuijian, led the princes and ministers to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. Baosi returned to Jianjia Palace, but seeing the quiet bamboo forest and the cold fragrance filled the courtyard, Baosi couldn't help but touched Baosi's heart. Suddenly, Bao Si's eyes swelled up.

"Si'er!" In front of Bao Si's eyes, a sudden and emotional expression suddenly appeared.

Elegant and elegant, the jade tree is facing the wind, even though more than ten years have passed, the suddenness in Bao Si's eyes is still warm and sensual, with a tacit understanding.

"Ju Tu, are you really in Jianjia Palace?" Bao Si turned crying into laughter, Qian smiled hopefully.

"Si'er, Ju Tu waited until this day, even though he has weathered many hardships, he has never looked back!" Ju Tu took Bao Si's hands.

"Ju Tu, has the emperor already arrested you?" Bao Si suddenly noticed that Ju Tu was dressed in casual clothes, and couldn't help asking suddenly.

Ju Tu stared at Bao Si's eyebrows, and replied softly: "Si'er, don't be afraid, even if Ju Tu dies, he will stay here!"

"Ju Tu, I really admire you for being so affectionate, but you have to see clearly that the Empress Dowager Ping of my Great Zhou is in front of you. My Great Zhou is a big state in the Central Plains, not a barbarian on the frontier. How can I let you embarrass me for Dazhou?" At this moment, Emperor Shuijian of Dazhou, under the protection of Ma Wumen and Huagu Weihou, came angrily in front of Jutu and Baosi.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have always been the emperor's confidant to consolidate the imperial power, but I am a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I must serve the country loyally. I want to explain to the emperor that the emperor can kill the minister, but the emperor must not be let down by those people again." Harmful by traitors, the country of my Great Zhou belongs to the people of the world, as long as the emperor loves the people, then the Great Zhou will not collapse without digging!" Standing in front of Shui Jian, he cupped his hands and said loudly to Shui Jian.

"Ku Tu, I guess I underestimated you. Well, I can promise you that after you die, I will not deal with the Queen Mother, but today, you must splatter the blood on the spot!" Shui Jian stared at Qu Tu, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, please give me the sword!" Que Tu knelt at Shui Jian's feet.

"Hahaha, Juetai, you are really my loyal minister of Dazhou, get up, I understand, you are the mainstay of Dazhou, how can I deal with you?" Started digging.
