Chapter 385: The power is tilted into the court
Guan Changye glanced at Chu Xianzhao, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked curiously: "Why did you kid suddenly come to Xilin?" You didn't even say a word to her, did you want to surprise her? If the old man came one step late, it would only be fright for her. ”
Chu Xianzhao shook his head and smiled: "In addition to coming to see her this time, I have to do a very important thing. ”
In addition to wanting to meet Su Changyan this time, I wanted to find the legendary Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, according to the guidance of a certain soul in the Tai'a Sword, this Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is somewhere in the Xilin territory, if I can find it, I may be able to find a lot of answers, and even the real reason why Su Shuntian forged the sword.
Guan Changye rolled his eyes and said: "What important things can you kid do? Isn't the matter between Yan Mang and Shuyue enough for you to toss? Your kid fought three thousand cavalry with blood, if it was replaced by the old man, the five thousand cavalry would have to die, but when the old man and you were placed in the same age, they might not be as powerful as you are now." It seems that the battlefield is still very helpful for the growth of your swordsmanship, but a full-scale war between you kings, whoever steps into it will get bloody, and now Yan Mang has been captured by your Yin Kingdom, and the end may be as miserable as when we were in the west, or even worse. I heard that you met the nine generals of the Dragon King when you were in Shuyue, how was it?
The injuries on the pale face of Chu Xianzhao can be said to have spread from the inside out, and in the face of Guan Changye's series of questions, he smiled bitterly: "If I lose, I won't be sitting here, if the master is there, maybe Pu Jiao will die." ”
As soon as he heard that his proud protégé had won the battle against the dragon general Pu Gao, Guan Changye couldn't help laughing out loud, and lay down comfortably beside Chu Xianzhao and said straightforwardly: "Back then, it was this bastard who attacked Lao Tzu and caused Lao Tzu to be a lame man for more than ten years, but now it is a report and a report, you kid can survive the attack of Pu Lao, and he has suffered a lot, right?"
Chu Xianzhao shook his head and said: "Master, didn't you see the scene at that time, those flying dragons wantonly swallowed dragon flames above our heads, burning rows of iron cavalry to ashes, if ordinary people saw it, they would have been scared to death." ”
"What about Guan Ju? She didn't come to Xilin with you."
At the mention of Guan Ju, Chu Xianzhao couldn't hide the gloomy sadness on his face, "After the victory in the battle of Concubine Pass, she told me to go to Nanlu to have a look, she said that she wanted to see the rivers and lakes that her father had walked through, and planned to use her own strength to find her mother, so I couldn't keep her to come back to Yinguo with me...... I'm sorry. ”
Guan Chang Yechang exhaled a long breath and said calmly: "Let's go, the woman is not staying, sure enough, her temperament is with her mother, she carries the king's blood with her, but she will definitely fight in the rivers and lakes, it seems that she and you are not suitable, I hope she can find some way to meet Zhao Xi...... Alas. ”
Chu Xianzhao Wen Yan smiled and said: "After the matter of Xilin is resolved, I will personally go to Qingguo, if I can see her again, I will definitely bring her back to meet you, master, maybe I can bring the legendary eldest princess of Daqing back, and your family will really be reunited." ”
Guan Changye nodded and smiled: "Your kid has this kindness old man understands, as for Zhao Xi"
Before Guan Chang finished speaking, a loud sound of horses' hooves rushed in, and the leading military general could be said to be staggering and driving the horse with a crying voice.
This cavalry has 5,000 men, at least, and it can be regarded as a small army, and it is overwhelming.
The leading general was less than five steps away from Chu Xianzhao and the long night, and suddenly pounced down from his horse, and said with tears and snot on his face: "His Royal Highness the Prince! The last general should be damned! In case His Royal Highness the Prince has three longs and two shorts in the west, how can we explain to His Majesty the Emperor? These damned traitors to the west, the last general can't wait to lead all the brothers from Yizhou all the way to Dahongcheng, even if they are desperate to hang those bastards who hurt His Highness!"
"Please forgive your sins with His Royal Highness!"
The five thousand cavalry looked at Chu Xuanzhao, who was covered in blood, and the Shura battlefield he had caused, and suddenly turned over and dismounted and knelt down, all of them trembling.
Guan Changye pursed his lips, and now he can be regarded as seeing what real flattery is.
Chu Xianzhao said softly: "Although it is a little late, I have worked hard for you." ”
Zhou Mu, the general of Xuzhou, who was eager to bury his face in the ground, shook his head and said: "If something happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general will die ten thousand times and it will not be enough to atone for his sins." ”
Those kneeling cavalrymen who were a little closer to Chu Xuanzhao all raised their heads slightly to look at His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, maybe there was only this moment in this life, and they could be so close to His Majesty the future Emperor of the Yin Kingdom.
Compared with the notorious His Royal Highness the Great Prince, this has never had any amazing news since he was a child, but in the past two years, thunderous news has come to their ears, so that the entire Yin Kingdom was frightened by this young prince who was born out of nowhere.
He later went to Yan Mang, and even defeated Yan Mang's sailors, burning thousands of ships, so that they could not enter Jingnan City in one step, this is the style of Yinguo Iron Cavalry!
As long as we capture the land, there is absolutely no possibility of returning it.
As for the battle of Feizi Pass, which moved the world, the third prince of Chu did not retreat in the face of the repeated crushing of the shocking mountain array, coupled with the terrible attack of the dragon master army.
Because of this sentence, everyone regarded the Qing'an Dynasty as the next target of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry.
This father and son may really be able to compete in the world.
The Xilin Sword God carried the heads of the three corpses in his hands, and rode in the same car with Chu Xianzhao, saying that he wanted to go back to Dahong City with him.
Chu instantly closed his eyes and concentrated, and Guan Chang sat with his sword crossed at night, feeling a little touched.
Along the way, Guan Changye told him a lot of things about Su Changyan, and this young woman was really not keen on being an empress.
At the beginning, she also fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, often sitting by the lake and watching the fish, and sometimes taking it at night as if she had lost her soul
Walking around the palace with lanterns, according to her personal maid, when she visited the room in the middle of the night, Her Majesty the Empress even spoke in her dreams......
Guan Changye knew that she had Wang Xi summoned to her by Chu Xuan in her body, and took the initiative to teach her to use the qi machine, but she was really bored with practicing qi.
After a day of hard persuasion, she agreed to learn how to use qi to resist the sword, but she was a little afraid of weapons, and even if she could use Wang Xi to levitate the long sword, it was only a few feet above the ground.
I'm afraid that the ability to take people's heads with flying swords will take a long time to learn...... Chu Xianzhao listened to the chatter, and his eyes slowly turned red.
It seems that everyone has had a hard time this year, he sighed and breathed silently.
At this time, a scarlet mark appeared on his forehead, looming.
A sword pierces the armor and slashes the dragon.
The sword aura is like a rainbow to slash a famous general.
This is a long day, and even Guan Changye is shocked and amazed.
The young prince traveled all the way to the west, and when this team could finally see the city wall of the big red city in the west, the city wall of the big red city came into everyone's eyes little by little, and the young prince in front of the team finally stopped.
After the young man turned over and dismounted, he looked at the wall where the sword stood and was in awe.
He went from Yinguo to Yanmang, and then from Yanmang to Shuyue, and now he has come to Xilin.
He has traveled to many places and knows many people.
Some are dead, some are still alive.
The little boy who was called Chu Xianzhao in the weeping eagle back then slowly grew up.
He has loved some people and hated some people, and some people are gone and can't stay.
It's like he was in the mountains and forests of Shuyue, holding the white-haired woman's hand and saying that he would take her daughter home with him, but the woman died at home in the end.
It's like the woman in red who loves him so much, lying in the snow covered in blood, he strokes the woman's face, and can't say half a word.
Chu Xianzhao opened his five fingers, and the sunlight shone into his eyes through the cracks of his fingers.
Sister Young Slave, I'm coming to you, whether you like it or not, but I Chu Xianzhao likes it very much, this time, I will tell you in person.
In the first year of Hongxiang in the west, in April, the prince of Yinguo entered the big red city.
......
......
Today's Xilin court meeting is particularly crowded, and there are many fresh faces, and the current Xilin court is particularly lacking in civil and military generals, and the phenomenon of selling officials and sending officials is particularly serious.
During this period, there was a continuous influx of disciples from the family, and the elders of the family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to obtain official positions for the children of the family, and even the phenomenon of the grandfather and the descendants in the court began to appear.
Su Changyan was wearing an imperial robe and sitting on the royal chair, and the jade seal of Zhenguo in the west was placed on the armrest on her left hand.
The woman assumed the posture of being above ten thousand people, and when everyone stepped into the main hall, they realized that Her Majesty the Empress, who should have entered the palace last, was waiting for them here, and the majesty released from her body made them feel awe.
Even those important ministers who were less than twenty steps away from the throne still subconsciously bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at the young woman.
Her Majesty the Empress, who looks like the former empress, is particularly pleasing to the eyes of these civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting, and Her Majesty the Empress has a gentle temper and never scolds the courtiers.
Although except for the long night, this woman sitting on the royal chair and wearing a royal robe did not have a heart-to-heart conversation with a certain Xilin courtier, and she lived in a simple place on weekdays, and it was never rumored that she and a certain Xilin Toshihiko traveled together, and there were only two personal palace maids, and her private life could be described as simple and boring.
There was a joke in the court before, with the restoration of the West, many of the courtiers of the West who fled from the Great Red City ten years ago have returned to the Great Red City.
When they were at the most powerful enthronement ceremony, a certain old minister from the west who had experienced the siege of the Yin army, after seeing Su Changyan in a blood-red imperial robe, walked up the stairs, he woke up from a dream and thought that it was the first queen who had come back from the dead, and suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Li Guanglan, the king of the west, see the queen!" This shout made many young courtiers who didn't know the situation also shout, and the slight voice that should have shouted to see Her Majesty the Empress was completely drowned out in the huge sound of the Empress Dowager, so frightened that Su Changyan almost fell off the high platform.
Even in the eyes of many old ministers in the west, the young woman sitting on the throne is more like the former queen Chen Pingping than the former emperor Su Shuntian.
There are beautiful women in the north, and the country is full of people.
But today, Her Majesty the Empress of the Alluring City is sitting on it, compared to the pleasing eyes in the past, the aura released from the Empress at this moment is extremely heavy, and she seems to be high, like a king with a lot of prestige in the city.
The breeze blew the beaded curtains on both sides of the hall and made a monotonous crackling sound, and the important ministers of the west lined up on both sides and knelt on their knees.
The court clothes of the courtiers in the west are also highlighted with the official products, from the emperor's blood-red imperial robe, to the crimson court dress of the first-class minister, and finally to the pink of the ninth grade, the courtiers are embroidered with gold and jade.
Her Majesty the Empress said straight to the point: "I called all of you here today to solve some things at once, and then maybe some people will be punished, or some people will die, just listen to me for a while, and you don't need to make any noise today." ”
Hearing the empress's serious tone, some people began to bow their heads and swallow their saliva, not daring to look at the woman's face.
And the soldier in front of Huang Yuanping in Zuo Shilang, the hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling after hearing the empress's words.
Not only him, but at this time, many courtiers who were honestly kneeling on the brocade table trembled because of the empress's words, and they all guessed who were the people to be punished in the empress's words, and who were the people to kill?
The first female monarch in the history of the West
Looking down at the group of civil and military officials, the red-clothed prince bowed his head and lowered his sleeves, and no one dared to look at the woman's face at will at this time, and the young woman's sight seemed to have a knife in her sight.
That stare lasted about a quarter of an hour, and she coughed softly.
A loud and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "The minister has a play, please listen to the minister's play!"
Su Changyan said: "Please come to the jade steps to play." ”
Everyone watched the young Lord Shishi come to the foot of the jade steps unhurriedly, thinking that this was a bad thing.
Her Majesty the Empress asked the Servant Yushi, who had never seen the end of the dragon in the past, to stand up, and everyone looked at the wide paper he was holding in his hand, which was densely packed with names.
This time, I'm afraid someone is going to be unlucky.
The young man picked up the paper and raised his head and said, "The minister impeached Captain Zhenwei for opening a casino in the imperial city, privately lending high loans, and robbing the people's daughters!"
Many people's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and their faces began to look ugly, but this was just the beginning.
The servant Yushi continued to say loudly: "The minister impeached Lingtai and ordered Chen An to open a brothel, sell people, collude with Chao Fenglang, kill people and set fires!"
There was a commotion among the courtiers, but the voice of the servant Yushi was louder and more powerful, and the words were clear!
"The minister impeached the secretary of Jiedu for using his power for personal gain, killing people and setting fires......"
"The minister impeached Ning An and waited for ......"
"The Minister Impeached the Dancing Yang Wait......"
Since standing in front of Her Majesty the Empress, this Imperial Servant has been on the head of the Lieutenant of Zhenwei in one go, his voice is loud and powerful, and he is clearly organized, and one after another charges are placed in front of His Majesty the Empress.
One sixth of the officials in the entire court received his impeachment, and these officials looked at the young man's back in amazement, the young figure was so tall, and the back was so straight.
The young man faced the king, turned his back to the court, fearless, and said no sin.
This Lord Shi has impeached dozens of people in one go, and each of them is a major crime that can be imprisoned, and several of them are to behead the family, and now he has all put them in front of Her Majesty the Empress One by one, and today's assembly is destined to end badly.
There was an unprecedented stalemate in the court, and the Lord Shi single-handedly launched the impeachment of many powerful officials in the Great Red City.
These impeached people, who became officials after the restoration of the country in the west, not only did they not have the posture of officials at all, but they had no law, killed people and set fires, preyed on the common people, and did all kinds of evil.
Moreover, after they made these mistakes, it was not without the people appealing and redressing their grievances, and the criminal department's protection of these people made many folds that should have been passed on to Her Majesty the Empress disappear after arriving in Shangshu Province.
In a sense, Her Majesty the Empress is now reviewing the folds that someone wants her to see, and those folds that she doesn't want to see are all lost in the sea.
But the last words of the young servant Lord Shi were no less than thunder in his ears, and he explained all the reasons for all this.
The young man said with a final word: "The minister finally impeached Song Qinglin, the general of the Zhenguo State and the Shangzhu State, who secretly hid armaments and built an army privately, and had no king, and should punish the nine clans!"
When he had said all this, he turned his back to his king and faced the pale officials of the court.
The young man's gaze penetrated most of them, and he looked straight at the extremely human rights Lord Shangzhu and said loudly: "My Sun Heng's parents and relatives have died under the hooves of the Yinguo Iron Horse, I have not yet married and have no wife and no children, if Her Majesty the Empress does not execute you, a traitor, today, my Sun Heng will sit at home and wait for you, the old dog, to kill me!"
These resounding words made the old general's face turn blue, and his muscles flared up, and he suddenly stood up and pointed at him and roared: "The yellow-haired child's words are unfounded! Lao Tzu will tell you to splash your blood in the court in a while, and you will not die!"
Song Qinglin, three generations of officials in the family. Grandfather Song Kangke used to be the emperor of Xilin, and his father Song Lengping was the proud protégé of Guan Ping, the old sword saint of Xilin, and in Song Qinglin's generation, he still did not let his father's courage decline, this once led the eight thousand spearmen of Xilin to fight against the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, and the horse trap laid almost wiped out Ye Zang's cavalry army, but it did not have much effect under the offensive of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, and was all wiped out by the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry who came later.
Song Qinglin was still not down after ten arrows, thinking about fighting to the end, and was finally captured by Emperor Yinhuang Chu Xiaohua, Emperor Yinhuang spared his life, and arranged for a doctor to treat his injuries.
Now in the Xilin Imperial Court, the military attache who survived the battle with Yinguo ten years ago is already superior, Song Qinglin has such a prominent family background and tragic war history, and it is extremely normal for the face to not kneel in the eyes of everyone.
It wasn't until Sun Heng, the servant of the imperial court, said the word "last", that the high-ranking officials and important ministers in the court breathed a sigh of relief, but when they learned that Shangzhu State had built an army privately, their faces were still full of surprise and fear, Su Changyan set his eyes on the body of the Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom, and there was no joy or anger on his face, and he said softly: "Is there such a thing?"
The burly old man took a deep breath, bowed down to her and said softly, "Your Majesty, there are some things that the minister must make clear to His Majesty......"
The beautiful woman sitting high on the throne was still expressionless.
The old man had to admit that this woman who looked like the former queen made him feel guilty, especially after the news of the rape of the queen of Xilin by the Yinjun spread, the entire exile of Xilin was laughed at by the whole world, and the old man looked at this woman with a trace of imperceptible anger in addition to awe.
"Speak louder, didn't I give you enough food to eat?!"
The empress suddenly raised her voice a few notches, scaring the officials under her.
It was only to this day that they finally remembered the fear of being dominated by power.
