Chapter 2: I'm Back
Zhou Xiao ignored the forbidden soldiers who knelt on the ground.
With a cold snort, he brushed his sleeves out and went to the land of the early dynasty, the Mountain and River Palace!
Stepping out of Taihe Palace for the first time in seven years, Zhou Xiao suddenly felt a sense of strangeness.
It's like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the vast sky outside.
It's been a long time.
There is a distance from Taihe Palace to Shanhe Palace.
During the journey, many eunuchs and palace maids were surprised to see Zhou Xiao wearing a dragon robe, and they paid their respects.
Zhou Xiao didn't have a chance for them, and strode towards the Mountain and River Palace.
Zhao Zilong and Wei Zhong accompanied each other.
At this time, on the mountain and river hall, hundreds of officials worshipped.
Qin Qiang sat on the dragon chair, dressed in a reckless dragon robe, and instructed hundreds of officials and generals.
"How are you talking about the truce with Liuyun Country?" Qin Qiang asked, looking like an emperor.
At this time, Minister Du Ping stood up and said: "It is basically negotiated." It's just that my Great Zhou Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and its national strength is gradually declining. In addition to a large amount of silver offerings, Liuyun Kingdom also asked me to cede Luyang County to withdraw its troops. ”
The court was silent.
Qin Qiang snorted coldly, "It's too much of a bully, you have to make inches!"
His face was a little ugly.
"Your Majesty is pleased. Du Ping said respectfully.
The Liuyun Kingdom was once just a small subordinate state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but with the help of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it gradually grew stronger.
Now that the Great Zhou is in decline, Liuyun Guo doesn't help it, but comes up and stomps on it.
It's ingratitude.
Qin Qiang's face was ugly, but now Da Zhou was weak and was not the opponent of Liuyun Country at all.
War, the Great Zhou will die!
"Cut!"
Qin Qiang gritted his teeth and said.
However, the voice fell, and the voice of Zhou Xiao in the Shanhe Hall was like a thunderous explosion, resounding through this huge court.
"When did I fall to the point of ceding land and seeking peace?"
When the officials heard this, they looked outside the mountain and river hall,
I saw Zhou Xiao wearing a dragon robe and coming with arrows.
A supreme dragon power involuntarily emanated, quite a kingly style.
Behind Zhou Xiao was Zhao Zilong, who was holding a gentian bright silver spear, and on the other side was the eunuch Wei Zhong.
The officials were stunned when they saw Zhou Xiao, and it took a long time to react, this is the only remaining bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family.
Because Zhou Xiao has been under house arrest in Taihe Palace, although he has the name of the emperor, the officials know that in fact, the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou have been controlled by Qin Qiang.
Imperial
It's changed hands.
So Zhou Xiao appeared,
None of the officials knelt down.
Qin Qiang was slightly shocked when he saw Zhou Xiao, he didn't expect Zhou Xiao to walk out of Taihe Palace.
He noticed Zhao Zilong's existence, and said in his heart: "Who is this person?
Vaguely, he felt that Zhao Zilong's cultivation was not below him.
"How can you ask about the political affairs of the court?" Qin Qiang did not have the slightest politeness to Zhou Xiao.
"The Great Zhou is my dynasty, my country!"
"Why can't you ask?"
Zhou Xiao's tone was firm.
As he spoke, he walked towards the throne.
Walk up the steps,
The pace is not hurried or slow.
Qin Qiang stared at Zhou and smiled, "Now I am the emperor of the Great Zhou!"
"Someone!"
"Take it down and cut it down!"
Qin Qiang originally held the military power and plotted to usurp the throne.
This throne was originally obtained by unscrupulous means.
Such an embarrassing situation is the most taboo.
smiled at Zhou with murderous intentions.
At the beginning, Zhou Xiao was also remembered for the old love of the first emperor, but now it seems that leaving him is a disaster......
For a while, the forbidden army rushed in and quickly surrounded Zhou Xiao.
Zhao Zilong picked up the spear,
Directly kill the three people.
Blood splattered on the spot.
No one could get close to Zhou Xiao at all.
After a while, Zhou Xiao had already walked up to the last step, looking at Qin Qiang on the throne, "Get out!"
Zhou laughed and shouted,
Domineering side leak!
Qin Qiang's face was hideous, "Just the two of you, you want to take back the throne?"
"Innocent!"
Qin Qiang suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum, pulled out the sword on the side, and slashed towards Zhou Xiao abruptly.
wants to kill Zhou Xiao under the sword.
Qin Qiang, as a former general, cultivated all his life, how could Zhou Xiao be an opponent?
In Qin Qiang's opinion, Zhou Xiao will definitely die.
The ministers below also held their breath.
Seeing that Zhou Xiao was about to be killed by the sword,
At that moment, a silver light flew like lightning.
Poof......
A line of blood shot out,
Qin Qiang's head was pierced by the gentian bright silver spear, and the blood stained the entire skull red.
His eyes widened,
"You ......"
Just say one word of you, and fall to the ground with a bang.
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
Zhou Xiao wiped the blood from the throne, then sat down and looked at the court.
"I'm back. Zhou Xiao only said a few words lightly, "From today onwards, General Zhao Zilong will be in charge of the military talisman." ”
Zhao Zilong half-knelt in front of the hall,
"Thank you, lord!"
Zhao Zilong knelt like this,
Only then did the hundred officials wake up to the fact that the imperial power has returned to the hands of the royal bloodline.
Some of the rulers rejoice,
Some people are not convinced.
But at this time, no one dared to oppose Zhou Xiao and bowed down one after another.
After all, Zhao Zilong killed Qin Qiang in seconds, which made people quite jealous.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat. Zhou Xiao said solemnly.
Zhou Xiao glanced at the ministers,
It can naturally be seen that some people are not convinced by themselves, but more out of fear of Zhao Zilong.
For the sake of future troubles,
Zhou smiled and said: "Pass the order, Qin Qiang and the nine clans!"
Qin Qiang usurped imperial power and must be punished.
It is also an example of killing chickens and monkeys.
Sure enough, when the ministers heard this, their bodies trembled slightly.
Ruthless!!
For a while, no one dared to underestimate Zhou Xiao.
Because in Zhou Xiao, they seemed to see the shadow of the first emperor......
After a while, Du Ping stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, at present, the battle between my Great Zhou and Liuyun Kingdom is imminent, please ask the emperor to decide." ”
Zhou said with a smile: "I am the king of Zhou, and I will not let an inch of land!"
"But......" Du Ping hesitated, "there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us...... We still have three days, the emperor thinks twice. ”
"If you lose your country, you have to fight!" Zhou Xiao said in a firm tone.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been greatly encroached, and less than one-tenth of the country's territory is now left.
Among them, Luyang County is the only remaining first-class city in addition to the imperial city
If Luyang County is lost again, there will really be little left of Da Zhou.
Perdition is a matter of time.
It must be fought against the odds.
Besides, there are still three days, and Zhou Xiao can also sign in three times.
signed out Zhao Zilong for the first time,
Hell knows what's going to be checked out.
"Zilong, immediately mobilize all your forces and assemble on standby. Zhou Xiao ordered.
"The last general commands!" Zhao Zilong replied sonorously.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat. Zhou Xiao glanced at the ministers.
The ministers bowed their heads and were silent.
Zhou Xiao got up and waved his sleeves,
Lose your hand and leave.
The eunuch Wei Zhong bowed down and followed.
It wasn't until Zhou Xiao's back completely disappeared from sight that the ministers dispersed in a low voice.
The previous Zhou Xiao was an incompetent person in their impression, content with pleasure, no ambition, and no courage and temper.
But today's Zhou Xiao subverted their cognition and opened their eyes.
If two people are judged.
glanced at Qin Qiang's corpse,
No one dared to collect his body.
Soon after, the ministers dispersed.
......
After retiring from the dynasty, the Great Zhou royal family caused a riot.
The armies assembled,
Under the leadership of Zhao Zilong, Qin Qiang's relatives and henchmen were uprooted.
Da Zhou underwent a major blood exchange.
All the officials were shocked.
It only took one day for Qin Qiang and the nine clans to ask and behead.
But there are also fish that slip through the net.
"Back to the lord, Qin Zhan's third son, Qin Zhan's whereabouts are unknown, and he failed to ask for beheading!" Zhao Zilong reported the situation.
Zhou Xiao snorted, stuffed a grape into his mouth, and said, "Wanted, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
As a traveler, Zhou Xiao has watched a lot of TV works about the emperors of the dynasty.
Knowing that as an emperor,
When decisive and ruthless,
Indecision will only dig a hole for yourself......
