Chapter 247: Fools Are Smarter Than You
In the seventh year of Xuanwu in the Western Liang Kingdom, the king of Jingyang rebelled, and the rebels captured the outer city in one fell swoop and besieged Youhe City. Emperor Xuanwu was so violent that he ordered the Praetorian Guards to defend and tried to escape through the back door with his concubines. As a result, he was besieged by the rebels of the Xiao family, and finally the jade seal fell into the hands of the Xiao family, and Emperor Xuanwu was held hostage to open the gate of Youhe City and welcome the rebels of King Jingyang into the palace.
The rebels of King Jingyang had not yet entered the palace, but they were stopped by General Wu Jing, who was sneaking up behind them, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle. The ministers were trapped in the outer city and almost completely wiped out, if it weren't for the magic weapons sent by Yaxin in the hands of some people, I am afraid that they would really die.
And Wu Jing was young and vigorous, and took the rebels of King Jingyang in one fell swoop, and the rebels of the Xiao family saw that the situation was not good, and forced Emperor Xuanwu to write an edict in the palace to let the eldest prince succeed to the throne.
However, the queen arrived in time and angrily denounced the impure bloodline of the eldest prince, and the secret of the Xiao family was revealed.
Chu Yicheng relied on his strong martial arts, and several former generals secretly infiltrated Youhe City, taking advantage of the Xiao family's unpreparedness to take down the head of the Xiao family and Xiao Yuhe.
But Emperor Xuanwu had an accident and accidentally bumped into Xiao Yuhe's sword during the collision and was killed on the spot.
Wu Jing took the rebels and was about to enter the palace to report the news, and he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the news. When the rebels of the Xiao family in the palace were all taken down by the forbidden army, they opened the palace gate and ordered Wu Jing to return to the palace to resume his life.
Wu Jing walked all the way to the Hall of Light, looking at the corpses all over the city of Youhe, and couldn't help but shed tears. It's still late, if it can be a little earlier, a little earlier......
He hurried to the Hall of Light, only to see several corpses in the hall. The male of the Xiao family was tied to the ground and could not move, while Emperor Xuanwu did not blink a blind eye.
"Passing on the will of the mourning family, the emperor was stabbed by Xiao Yuhe...... Died ......"
A sharp and crying chant was transmitted from the Temple of Light to the main gate of Youhe City, and the defenders outside the city all knelt down and wept bitterly when they heard it.
And the ministers in the outer city, when they heard the bell ringing in the palace, their faces also changed greatly, and they no longer dared to hide at home, so they rushed to Youhe City after passing their official uniforms.
Seeing that the soldiers outside the city had become their own people, those soldiers of the King of Jingyang were all caught. Many ministers chuckled in their hearts. Especially those supporters of King Jingyang in the imperial court, they were even more frightened and didn't rush out, and hurriedly entered the palace without squinting.
Next, there was a fierce debate about the aftermath of Emperor Xuanwu and the succession to the throne.
It is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince to inherit the throne now. There is such a mother. There is such a maiden family again. In the future, I don't know anything about the surname of Xiliangguo.
And the second prince is now being picked up by the Yaxin faction, and the Yaxin faction has turned against Emperor Xuanwu and the empress, so it's hard to say whether the second prince can be put back.
Although there is no saying that women in Xiliang Country cannot interfere in politics. But the queen is a foreign surname and cannot succeed to the throne. Now that this is calculated, only the little princess born to Concubine Shu can inherit the throne.
But the only candidate who can succeed to the throne is opposed by most people, because the little princess's biological mother is also Concubine Shu, and if she wants to succeed to the throne, Concubine Shu must be released from the cold palace. But this time, what is the difference between it and the success of the Xiao family's rebellion?
The queen was sitting on the phoenix chair, looking coldly at the quarrel below, she sneered in her heart, and suddenly slapped it on the chair. The slap was so hard that even the finger guard on his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"On weekdays, are you so undignified? It seems that Your Majesty is spoiling you lawless, and you should not make loud noises in the Hall of Light, this is the rule of the ancestors. Have you forgotten all the rules of your ancestors? Now that His Majesty's bones are not cold, no one is discussing the matter behind His Majesty, and they are all eyeing this throne?! ”
The ministers looked at each other, stood in line and bowed their heads. At this time, Wu Jing happened to enter the palace to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, all the teams of King Jingyang have been captured, but the remaining two ghosts of the five-faced ghost still ran away." May I ask if the mother is chasing or forget it? ”
The queen snorted coldly, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, handed it to the eunuch on the side, and then said: "The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and he will definitely reward the general for meritorious service in the future." In addition, there are Jingyang Wang's party and Xiao's party, and the mourning family will not let go. Today, I have to bother you to send this decree to Heishui County and personally hand it over to the Nine Heavens Goddess. If she refuses to agree, you will tell her that Qing Chu Zhen promised the mourning family before her life and would do three things for the mourning family. ”
The ministers couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard it, it turned out that the queen still had hole cards in her hand, and she was not afraid of it. If the second prince can come back to inherit the throne, he will no longer be afraid.
The queen turned her head and looked at the ministers again, and stood up with a cold snort: "Today, you must hand over the process of the emperor's death, if the mourning family can't see the folds before dark, you all follow the king of Jingyang." ”
As soon as the queen returned to Fengqi Palace, she immediately called Yuli and whispered a few words in his ear, and Yuli nodded silently and retreated.
When Wu Jing returned to Heishui County and saw Qiao Ya, Qiao Ya already knew that nothing was actually written on the edict, so she drew a baked cake.
Qiao Ya took Yi Zhi and looked at it with a fake look, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and the queen couldn't catch up with her. I was able to win an Oscar for acting before, and today I came to send her a thousand miles of baked cakes......
"Why did the deity go to capture the remnants of the five-faced ghosts, and what does this have to do with the deity?"
Wu Jing couldn't help admiring the queen in his heart, and hurriedly said the queen's words.
Qiao Ya frowned and said, "That's the agreement between Qing Chu and her, what does it have to do with me?" ”
After speaking, Jingxu and Poyang, who were standing behind Qiao Ya, both knelt down, one of them cried, and the other persuaded with a crying voice: "Don't worry, the teacher and Niangniang were friends before his death, and Niangniang once wanted to become a monk and Taoism, but the teacher persuaded him." Seeing that the relationship between the two of them is so good, she also asked her husband to fulfill the teacher's wish. ”
Qiao Ya sighed, looked back at Jingxu and Poyang, closed her eyes again, and had a painful look on her face.
Seeing this, Wu Jing persuaded: "The last general knows that the goddess has lost her beloved disciple, and he is unhappy in his heart. But now that the emperor is dead, the goddess has no hatred with the people of Xiliang Kingdom, if the five-faced ghost remnants wander outside and hurt the people, wouldn't it hurt the innocent. I also hope that the goddess will think about it more, which is also a merit. ”
Qiao Ya finally reluctantly agreed, Wu Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to leave with his fists clenched. Qiao Ya stopped him and asked, "You have benefited from saving the country like this?" ”
Wu Jing was stunned, shook his head and said: "The last general has received the grace of the saint and should have served the country, which is the responsibility of the last general, and he does not seek glory and wealth." As long as the people are happy, the last general will be satisfied. ”
Qiao Ya scolded in her heart, you are a fool, no, fools are smarter than you! (To be continued.) )
