Chapter 575: News Arrives
When the news of the Empress of Yan's accession to the throne reached the palace of King Wei, He Rongcai put down the folds in his hand.
"What did you say?"
His voice was extremely low, and he was in a cold sweat when he heard General Cao, who came to play the report in front of him.
Recently, King Zhao's temper has been getting worse and worse, especially since he came back from Tongyang Pass.
"You say it again?"
Hearing this, General Cao subconsciously took a deep breath, and then said: "Your Majesty, the royal family of Yan Kingdom was wiped out by the Jade Shenyuan except for the queen, and the new enthronement is a female empress, according to our spy report, it is somewhat similar to that one......"
General Cao didn't continue the rest of the words, because he knew that what he said had actually been understood by King Zhao, and the reason why he asked him to say it again from beginning to end was just because he had no place to spread his anger at this time.
After hearing his voice fall, sure enough, General Cao heard a loud "bang".
He Rong directly overturned the case that still had important twists and turns that had not been reviewed.
The sound was so loud that everyone in the hall knelt down in fright, and no one dared to make a sound.
"Stand down!"
After a long time, He Rong's slightly tired voice spoke.
After listening to his voice, all the people retreated in a hurry.
After a while, only He Rong was left in the huge hall.
He stood up a little irritably, walked around the main hall, and then walked straight out of the main hall and went to the back courtyard.
That was the courtyard where he lived after King Xiao He seized the Weiwang Palace, and it was also the courtyard where Chu Yunsheng came to deliver wine by mistake.
After the capital of Zhao was captured by Su Jingshuo from the south, He Rong reorganized his troops and moved the country to Weiwangdu, and now Weiguo is already in his hands, so whether he lives in the land of Weiguo or in the place of Zhao, it is his territory.
And he was supposed to stay in the Ganquan Palace, but somehow, he had a soft spot for the palace he lived in before, and he lived here these days.
After walking around the courtyard, the boredom in He Rong's heart not only did not relieve, but became more and more intense, he raised his hand and called He Qi to get the wine.
Although reason told him that he couldn't drink and make mistakes again and again, his reason always collapsed under this boredom every time, and there was actually a little hope for him that everyone in this world didn't know.
He hoped that if he got drunk again, would he be able to meet her who lurked in front of him with a hat and a disguise?
Thinking of this, He Rong strolled towards the gazebo.
Autumn is deep, the nights are cool, and the moonlight is cold.
He Qi's movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he took a jar of wine and put it on the stone table.
He Rong directly discarded the wine cup, opened the wine jar and poured it down violently.
The liquor entered his throat, and his lungs burned like fire, but it did not reduce the boredom in his heart by a little.
He Rong drank half a jar of wine in one go, his expression was already a little trance, and he raised his hand to take out a jade pendant from his sleeve.
The jasper is transparent, and the veins on it are extremely delicate.
As soon as she thought that this was something she regarded as her life, He Rong's hand subconsciously clenched, as if he wanted to feel a little bit of her body temperature from this jade pendant.
The moment he heard the news that she had become an empress in Yan Kingdom, his mood was complicated.
He was ecstatic, yet disappointed, and finally angry and angry.
Ecstatic is that she is still alive, sure enough, her guess that day under Tongyang Pass is not wrong, it is not her, she has already gone to a safe place.
And the one who is lost is because it is not her.
Therefore, in the end, he didn't get anything, he obviously wanted to get close to her and have her, but in the end, it was the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water, he broke with her step by step, forced her into a desperate situation step by step, and went further and further away from her.
And that anger and irritation came out of my heart at the end.
He hadn't received the news that Yu Shenyuan of Yan Kingdom was still alive before, and even he thought that Yu Shenyuan was dead, died in Liao Kingdom, and his calculations.
But after thousands of calculations, he did not calculate that Chu Yunsheng would save Yu Shenyuan in the Liao Kingdom.
And now, Yu Shenyuan has absurdly pushed Chu Yunsheng to be the empress of Yan Kingdom, whether it is a puppet or Yu Shenyuan's gratitude, but this at least shows that today's Yan Kingdom is no longer a natural barrier of Zhao State, but his incomparability.
Although he has exhausted all his skills, in front of Su Jingxuan and Chu Yunsheng, he has gained and lost every time, and the gains and losses are mixed.
Although he won the defense of the country this time, he lost the southern border of the Zhao country and even the capital of the king of Zhao, and gave up the most fertile place, and the defense of the country was greater than his own southern border.
And now, even Yan Guo is no longer in his control.
It doesn't take time, the current situation today is no longer dominated by Zhao Guo, and most of the advantage has been taken up by Su Jingxuan, not to mention that at this time, Chu Yunsheng is still standing behind Yu Shenyuan.
Thinking of this, He Rong smiled secretly, why did he bother to come!
*****
At that time, the Fengyi Palace of the Patriotic State.
Tang Xuexu listened to the news from the personal maid with a calm face, and her eyes were already rolling with surging hatred.
"You mean, that slut Chu Yunsheng became the empress of my Yan Kingdom?"
Because of hatred, her voice was also raised a few points, with a sharp and piercing voice, "My father, emperor, and brother were all killed by her?"
I don't know if it's because her voice is too cold, or if the murderous aura and anger around her make people feel terrifying, the little palace maid shuddered, and then said, "Yes...... Target...... The slave maid has just come back from General Cao's ......"
"Queen Mother......" The little palace maid replied, and saw that Tang Xuexuan's body was a little shaking, as if she was about to fall down in the next moment, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said anxiously: "Queen Mother, are you okay?"
After hearing the news, Tang Xuexu was dizzy for a moment, and she only had hatred in her mind.
The qi and blood in her heart turned over the river and the sea, so that she almost fainted directly in front of her, but fortunately, the little palace maid stretched out her hand in time to support her.
However, her mood did not improve at all because of this, on the contrary, after stabilizing her figure, she raised her hand and threw the little palace maid who had just supported her crumbling body to the side.
It's just a weak little palace maid, where can she withstand her pushing so hard, coupled with the suddenness of her strength, the little palace maid was not prepared at all, and was thrown out directly, slamming into the corner of the table.
After an exclamation, blood was already running down her cheeks from the corners of her forehead.
However, Tang Xuexuan didn't pay attention to it at all, she turned around and said, "Get out!"
The cold word was like a knife cut into the heart of the little palace maid, but she didn't even dare to say half a word, and hurriedly bowed to Tang Xuexue and quickly retreated.
"Chu Yunsheng!" Tang Xuexuan screamed out this name again, and then took a deep breath, only then did she try to hide her anger and hatred and sadness, she lifted her steps and walked to the door of the hall, and when she was about to go out, she was stopped by the Praetorian Guards outside.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to leave Fengyi Palace without Your Majesty's will. ”
The face of the person who stopped her was cold, and the words she said were also cold, and there was no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Tang Xuexu's anger suddenly burst out, and she stepped forward and slapped the Praetorian Guard soldier in the face, and then said fiercely: "Have you eaten the guts of the ambitious leopard? You still know that I am the queen!"
Although, since He Yueying's accident, He Rong has ordered her to be locked up in this Fengyi Palace, but more than a month has passed since that incident.
Even if she wants to punish her and make her reflect, Tang Xuexuan feels that it should be enough, not to mention, He Yueying's slut deserves to die, and it is not a pity to die!
The news she heard today made her too sad and angry, so at this time, the first person she wanted to see in her heart, except for Chu Yunsheng, who made her hate to the core, was He Rong.
Her Saburo.
However, he was still stopped like this, which is how Tang Xuexu can endure it.
Her slap was not light, and after a crisp snap, there were already five bright red finger prints on the cheeks of the Praetorian Guard soldier, but his body did not move at all, still blocking Tang Xuexu's body, directly blocking the threshold for her to leave the palace.
Seeing this, Tang Xuexu was even more angry, she wanted to raise her slap and fall again, but seeing that the face of the Royal Forest Army soldier was still cold and hard, and then she thought that her palm was still faintly painful at this time, so she took a deep breath and withdrew the slap, and then said coldly: "Since this is the case, then you go to see the emperor, and say that there is an urgent matter to report in this palace." ”
Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard soldier did not move.
When Tang Xuexu saw it, she was even more angry, she raised her hand and pulled out the sword at his waist before the Praetorian Guard soldier could react, and before he could make a move, Tang Xuexu had already aimed the sword at her neck and said coldly: "This palace knows that you are not afraid of death, but this palace wants to see if you are afraid of this palace's death, if you say that a sword goes down, this palace does not dare to guarantee that you and your nine clans will not be implicated." ”
Her voice was cold and crisp, without the slightest hesitation.
The face of the Praetorian Guard soldier, who had always been cold and hard before, was still immobile even if he was slapped by her, finally changed, and he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, don't do this, we are just doing things as ordered, and our subordinates will go out to report to Your Majesty." ”
"Okay, then the palace is waiting for you here," as she spoke, Tang Xue Xue took a step forward, and then deliberately aimed the sword at her neck and moved, and then said, "You can tell Your Majesty what the palace just said to you." ”
Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard soldier hurriedly responded, and then trotted to the courtyard where He Rong was.
Fengyi Palace was not close to there, and it took him a quarter of an hour to get there.
But he was stopped by He Qi at the door, and after he finished talking to He Qi in 1510, he was taken to the backyard where He Rong was drinking.
"Did the queen really say that?"
There were already two empty jars on the ground, and He Rong's expression was very different from usual, but today he was much more sober than before.
He Rong smiled bitterly, sure enough, the more people want to get drunk, the less likely they are to get drunk.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants to come to see Your Majesty, saying that if we refuse to wait for her to come, she will force her to die, and when her subordinates come down, the Queen Mother also took her subordinates' swords and threatened them in her hands. ”
The Praetorian Guard soldier did not hide it all, and said it all.
He Rong's somewhat misty eyes passed over him, and he chuckled and said, "Then you go back and tell her, feel free." ”
Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard soldier was stunned.
What does it mean to be casual?
Did Your Majesty let the queen enter and leave Fengyi Palace at will?
But at this time, His Majesty's expression had the slightest intention of letting the queen mother out.
For a moment, the Praetorian Guard soldier was stunned, he didn't go, and asked if he was not.
He Rong saw that he was still stunned, so he added: "Suicide is arbitrary." ”
Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard soldier was even more stunned.
He Qi on the side was also shocked, but in the end it was the old man who was following He Rong, he raised his hand and dragged the Praetorian Guard soldier, which pulled the soldier's mind back.
"Okay, my subordinates will retire. ”
Coming out of the courtyard where He Rong was and going to Fengyi Palace, the brains of the Praetorian Guard soldiers were all mushy along the way.
He didn't know how to say the word "casual" with the queen.
Because he knows what the consequences will be once these two words are spoken, if the queen really can't think about it...... So, will His Majesty put all the sins on his head when the time comes?
This is what worries him the most.
However, since His Majesty had already asked him to go back to his life, he didn't dare to hide it.
Therefore, after thinking about it, the Praetorian Guard soldier finally said these few words when facing Tang Xuexu, who was still waiting: "Your Majesty let Niangniang feel free." ”
Then, he turned his body sideways, and once again used his body as a shield to stop at the door, without the slightest intention of letting Tang Xuexu out.
After hearing those words, Tang Xuexu's whole person was stunned.
Your Majesty let the mother feel free.
If she misunderstood the meaning of this sentence again, then the attitude of the Praetorian Guard soldier at this time had already explained everything.
Let her be casual?
Tang Xuexu's heart was dripping blood, and she said with a bitter wry smile on her face: "Is this what he said?"
It wasn't a question, and the Praetorian Guard soldier wouldn't answer her.
His silence was already the best answer.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the sword in Tang Xuexu's hand fell to the ground, and her whole body also leaned against the door and slipped weakly to the ground.
This is her Saburo!
Although, before this, she had thought more than once about the ending she might face, but when it really came to this moment, she still couldn't withstand such a blow.
Sure enough, from the beginning to the present, is she just a pawn for him to use?
Now, the Tang clan of Yan Kingdom has been wiped out, and she has no use value, so at this time, she is already a rag that can be discarded at will for him?
At this moment, Tang Xue had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her heart was dripping blood.
