readx;?“ Bang", Emperor Chu endured the severe pain and looked up, and saw that the Empress Dowager Xiao, who had already left, was thrown in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Le-wen

Her hair was in a messy bun, her headdress fell to the ground, her clothes were covered in dust, and the sword eyebrows, which were originally delicately depicted and delicately depicted into the temples, were even more scratched, and a touch of red trickled down the corners of her eyes, making her look extremely embarrassed.

Seeing Emperor Chu's gaze, Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly supported the ground with her hands and wanted to get up, but who knew that the arm on the ground suddenly weakened, and the whole person stumbled and fell to the ground again.

"My Hand ......"

A tingling pain came, Empress Dowager Xiao raised her hand in disbelief, and through the dim light in the hall, she saw that her originally white fingertips had been covered with brown, and the wisps of color spread all over her small half of her palm, spreading up along her wrist, and her entire arm was almost unconscious.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked up at Emperor Chu fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice: "Rong Bingfeng, you actually poisoned me?" ”

"Didn't you poison me too, my good mother." Emperor Chu laughed stupidly.

Empress Dowager Xiao's pupils shrank sharply, and she said sharply: "You are crazy, I am your mother!" ”

When Emperor Chu heard Empress Dowager Xiao's words, he felt as if he had heard some big joke, and he leaned back against the chair and laughed loudly. His chest continued to rise and fall, and every time he laughed, he spit out blood in his mouth, and his head was obviously covered with cold sweat, and even his lips turned purple, but he still smiled, and his voice was more warm than he had ever been.

"Yes, you are my queen mother, except for you, who else in this world would be as ruthless as you, in order to get out, you killed your own son with your own hands to blame others, and used your own son's death to fulfill your insatiable ambition?"

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Emperor Chu, if her eyes could turn into a sharp blade, she couldn't wait to cut Emperor Chu with a thousand knives at this time.

"Since you already knew, why do you have to pretend not to know, why do you still drink that bowl of ginseng soup?!"

"Because I'm happy."

Rong Bingfeng coughed up blood in his mouth, and there was no cloudiness in his eyes in the past, but he bent the corners of his mouth proudly, smiling as happily as a child who got candy, and said with a little smugness in his mouth: "Looking at you sacrificing all your self-satisfied faces after success, you died when you thought everything was under control before you had time to be happy, and when you were full of hope for life and thought that you were relieved, you found that you had already fallen into the infernal hell, sinking into pain with me, and never being born with me, Queen Mother, don't you think this is very interesting?" ”

"Rong Bingfeng, you're crazy, you're simply crazy!"

Empress Dowager Xiao scolded, she didn't expect Rong Bingfeng to use her life to pull her to die together, and she didn't expect him to calculate everything a long time ago, just waiting for her to come to the door by herself. She glared at Rong Bingfeng and said resentfully: "Why, why do you want to treat me like this, obviously it was that evil seed who took your throne, obviously he made you fall into the current situation, why would you rather drag me to die with me than let me get rid of him, why do you want to do it to me?!" ”

"Rong Bingfeng, you are my son, I gave birth to you and raised you, and I gave you everything you have today. Your life, all your possession is given by me, on what basis do you decide my life and death, on what basis?! ”

Rong Bingfeng looked at the crazy old woman in front of him, and a crazy smile flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I am your son, we are just as ruthless and vicious, just as ruthless and unrighteous, so ...... Let's die together. Hahaha......"

The whole hall was filled with Rong Bingfeng's crazy laughter, and after a while, Rong Bingfeng spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face was full of dying ashes, he looked up at the gloomy hall door, where the door was wide open, and Rong Jing, who was tall and tall, stood expressionlessly under the corridor.

The night breeze blew, blowing his clothes and flickering the candles, but it also made Rong Jing's whole face outside the door fall into darkness.

"Jing'er, what if...... This is what you want, the father and the emperor will fulfill you, and from now on, this Nanchu ...... This world ...... It's all yours, and no one will dare to stop you. All I beg you ...... Please let me see her......"

"Please......"

“…… Please......"

Rong Bingfeng's mouth kept bleeding, but he just stared at the shadow outside the door, and his eyes were humble and begging that he had never seen before. The color on his face gradually decayed, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, but he kept watching the figure outside the door repeat his plea again and again, but unfortunately, until his blood ran out, he could no longer make a sound in his mouth, and the figure outside the door did not move until he died...... Rong Bingfeng didn't get the answer he wanted.

Rong Bingfeng did not blink an eye.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt that he was close at hand, and felt that she was not far from death, the sharp pain in her body and the sudden bleeding of the seven orifices made her suddenly crazy, she desperately squirmed on the ground with her body, and shouted loudly in her mouth: "I don't want to die, the mourning family doesn't want to die, the mourning family is the queen mother of Nanchu, the mourning family is the most noble person in the world, the mourning family doesn't want to die, I don't want to die......"

Rong Jing looked at the woman on the ground who was like a maggot, with a cloak of hair, and after a moment of silence, she turned around and left.

"Rong Jing, you save me, save me!! I know your secrets, I know your background! ”

The departing figure gradually drifted away, constantly submerging into the darkness, Xiao Rufeng's eyes protruded and screamed: "Evil seed, you are a evil seed, Rong Jing, you are not worthy of being the emperor, the mourning family wants to tell the whole world that you are a evil seed...... You are the evil seed of Sima Wencheng and the first emperor ****......"

"Ahh

A scream came, and the Dragon Taizhong suddenly fell silent, Rong Jing stood under the moonlight, and said lightly to Peng De, who was pale and frightened beside him: "I don't want anyone to know about tonight's events. ”

Peng De's knees weakened, he knelt on the ground with a "bang", and trembled all over: "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, the slave didn't hear anything, didn't hear anything!" ”

Rong Jing squinted at Peng De slightly, and at that moment, Peng De thought he was dead, and the whole person fell to the ground trembling. Who knew that in the next moment, Rong Jing suddenly raised his feet and walked out, and said in a cold voice: "I really believe in your ability, handle the affairs here, and also, a fire burned down the Lan Palace, I don't want to see anything related to the Lan Yuan Palace!" ”

Peng De's whole body was slumped on the ground, and his back was covered with cold sweat. Seeing that Rong Jing was leaving, he hurriedly got up from the ground with weak hands and feet, walked out in a few steps, and said sharply: "Someone!" ”

"Father-in-law Peng."

"Lock up all the people who appear in the Dragon Tower tonight, and don't let any of them go!"

At night, there was a fire in the palace, the fire continued, all the way from the east of the dragon platform to the Lan Rong Palace, the disaster affected the small half of the palace, and when the fire was extinguished, the Lan Rong Palace and the four halls next to it were all destroyed, and the huge palace only left the charred black palace walls and wooden shelves, which can prove that there was a luxury and prosperity here.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, the news that Emperor Chu and Empress Dowager Xiao had died together in Yulongtai spread all over the government and the opposition, and the ensuing "Letter to the World" written by Emperor Chu himself made everyone stunned.

In that confession, it not only explained in detail how Empress Dowager Xiao used means to frame the palace concubine and assassinate the prince when the first emperor was still in power, but also explained the truth about Jiang Qiguo's entry into the palace of Chu State, in fact, because Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Chu used insidious means to deceive Sima Wencheng's trust and let him lead his troops to serve the emperor, but after he attacked the city, he turned against each other and framed Jiang Qiguo to attack Chu, causing Jiang Qiguo to die unjustly.

Later, the Empress Dowager Xiao took advantage of the trust of the first emperor, colluded with the Xiao family, encircled the courtiers, took advantage of the chaos in Beijing to deceive the edict from the first emperor, and then ordered someone to kill the first emperor and support the Chu emperor to ascend the throne. Now that Emperor Chu has repented and is willing to fast for life in Yulongtai, who knows that Empress Dowager Xiao is unwilling to be defeated, and has repeatedly persuaded her to return to the government, and even encouraged him to use the old ministers of the court to contact the troops of other countries, and then the disaster of Jiang Qi back then.

Emperor Chu refused, lest Empress Dowager Xiao secretly poison her hands and leave a letter, if one day, he died in the Royal Dragon Tower, he would inform the world of the handwritten letter and alert the world.

After the "Letter to the World" was made public, the government and the opposition were boiling, and those who had experienced the turmoil of Rong Zhuan Xuan's destruction of Chu before woke up one after another, and they all remembered the words that Rong Zhuo said in the palace at the beginning, and most of them were consistent with the content of this letter written by Emperor Chu himself. Although the cause of death of Emperor Chu and Empress Dowager Xiao "died together" is suspicious, no one dares to question Rong Jing, and no one dares to write a letter to the court to demand a strict investigation.

On the same day, Yulongtai had dozens of female eunuchs in Shouning Palace, all of whom were executed because of their ineffective care of Emperor Chu and Empress Dowager Xiao, and all the concubines left in the palace were sent to the imperial temple. The new emperor announced the Chu Emperor's "letter to the world" to the world, shocking the world.

Jiang Qi's injustice was washed away, and the new emperor pardoned all Jiang Qi's relics, allowed them to do business and enter the office, and obtained fame, and for the Chu Emperor, after his death, in accordance with the royal practice, buried in the imperial tomb, Xiao Rufeng in addition to the royal jade, reverted to the Xiao family, hidden outside the imperial tomb, and guarded the ancestors of Chu for generations in the name of sinners to atone for the sins of half his life.

After the first emperor was buried, Rong Jing and Xue Rou stood outside the emperor's mausoleum, standing side by side.

"What do you say they are asking for, they are exhausted, they don't compromise the means, and in the end, aren't they all loess? I don't know what Xiao Rufeng's mood is when he knows that he has been calculating for half his life, and in the end he is just buried in the name of a sinner? Xue Rou said lightly.

Rong Jing stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Xue Rou's shoulder, tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "It is estimated that I will fight with the old man underground, but it will be cheaper for the old man." ”

He originally wanted to throw the corpses of Rong Bingfeng and Xiao Rufeng directly into the wilderness, but it was a pity that those ministers in the court gave up their lives and swore to admonish them, and even Rourou disagreed, and in the end he could only toss Xiao Rufeng, but let Rong Bingfeng be buried in the imperial tomb peacefully.

Xue Rou heard the unwillingness in the words of the man next to him, and stared at him angrily: "He didn't see the person he wanted to see until he died, and you burned the Lan Yan Palace clean, and even destroyed the tomb, what else do you want?" ”

Thinking of the fire that night, Xue Rou couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

She knew about Rong Jing's trip to Yulongtai that day, and she knew that Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Chu would definitely die that night, but she never thought that after Rong Jing killed the two of them, she actually ordered someone to burn down the Lan Rong Palace, which was "continuous and inexhaustible", and after the fire was extinguished, half of the palace was burned down, not to mention the Lan Rong Palace in the center of the fire.

Rong Jing shrugged the tip of his nose when he heard this, he just didn't want the old man to die with peace of mind, how could he drop?

Xue Rou looked at his appearance, didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.

"Alas, Yau Yau, where are you going, you wait for me......"

In January of the twenty-sixth year of the founding of the country, the Great War of the Northern and Southern Zhou Dynasties broke out, and the two armies fought in Yuezhou, and the battle lasted for half a month, with countless casualties, but they could not win or lose.

At the beginning of March of the twenty-sixth year of the founding of the country, the war situation in the Northern and Southern Zhou Dynasty was stalemate, and the Southern Zhou army was all trapped in the realm of Yuezhou, and the rear was empty, and the Southern Chu took advantage of the situation to send troops, and captured six cities such as Zhangning, Antian, Wufeng, and Qijin within half a month with lightning speed, and approached the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, captured more than 20 Southern Zhou courtiers alive, and captured the remaining 70,000 troops of the Southern Zhou Dynasty;

In the middle of March of the twenty-sixth year of the establishment, civil strife broke out in Beirong, the great prince of Beirong Hu Yanze, the sixth prince Hu Yanjun, the seventh prince Hu Yanyu Xing rebelled, the Nanmen family led the troops to Qin Wang, the political situation in Beirong was in chaos, the Beirong Emperor was seriously ill, and several people seized power in the government and the opposition, and everyone was busy integrating the Beirong forces and had no time to look south;

In May of the twenty-sixth year of the founding, the Southern Chu army went all the way north, stepped across the realm of the Wen River, broke through more than 20 cities of the Zhou State, and the 300,000 troops Chen soldiers were under the city of Yuezhou, and they killed from behind the Southern Zhou army, and captured and killed the Southern Zhou Jiarui Emperor in front of the battle, and the Southern Zhou army was defeated and announced its surrender. Qin Xiao, the commander of the Northern Zhou army, suddenly turned back, and the Southern Chu army easily broke through Yuezhou City, killed the stubborn generals in the army, killed the stubborn generals in the army, dismissed tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers, and subdued 150,000 elite troops, and the Southern Chu army surged to more than 400,000.

After Yuezhou was broken, the state of Zhou was in danger, and the entire Gyeonggi was shrouded in a dark cloud, and in the city of Yuezhou, under the maintenance of the Southern Chu army, the people had become stable from the initial panic and fear, and there were several assassinations in the city, all of which were suppressed by Rong Jing with thunder.

Yuezhou Taishou Mansion.

Rong Jing and Xue Rougao sat above, while Hua Yunxiao, Qin Xiao, Huo Ge, Meng Yunfei and others sat below.

"It's really good now, if Yuezhou is taken, you can wave your army north and attack Jinggi of Zhou directly, presumably Emperor Zhengde's courage is about to be scared, right?" Hogg laughed.

Xue Rou chuckled when he heard this: "This time it is thanks to Brother Huo and General Qin, if it weren't for you to clamp down on the Northern and Southern Zhou armies, Your Majesty and I would not have been able to break through the hinterland of Southern Zhou so quickly, and take Yuezhou City so easily, especially General Meng, if it wasn't for you killing Emperor Jiarui in front of the battle and breaking the morale of Southern Zhou, those soldiers of Southern Zhou would not have surrendered so easily." ”

Yuezhou was the original hinterland of the Zhou State, and after the Northern and Southern Zhou broke up, Yuezhou City became the most important pass for the Northern Zhou to fight against the Southern Zhou. The city wall here is tall, backed by mountains and forests, if there is no internal response from it, it is impossible to take Yuezhou City without blood.

At that time, the army of the Northern and Southern Zhou will be attacked by the Chu ** team, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be forced to unite, if the two armies really abandon their previous suspicions, I am afraid that the Southern Chu will have to pay a great price if they want to take Yuezhou, and then they will be shackled if they want to wave their troops north.

Hearing this, Qin Xiao said solemnly: "King Rou doesn't have to thank me, if it weren't for you and Zi Yan's strategy, I wouldn't have been able to get the talisman so easily." Qin Xiao has never forgotten your kindness to her sister-in-law and your support to the Anyue County Palace. What's more, today I helped Nanchu attack Zhou, not entirely for you, but also for my father, when my father died tragically at the border, Emperor Zhengde suppressed my Anyue County Palace, so that my mother and son suffered humiliation, today is for my father, for my mother and son to seek justice. ”

Meng Yunfei also said on the side: "The grace of King Rou to save him in Ningbei County at the beginning, the last general is unforgettable, His Majesty can trust the last general, and let the last general accompany General Huo to Zhou, which is already a kindness, and the last general is grateful!" ”

Xue Rou smiled even more when she heard this, but after hearing the words of the two, Hogg patted the arms of the two of them, and said to Xue Rou: "Girl, Qin Xiao and Yun Fei are both straight people, let's not thank them, this will make you see each other." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Rong Jing and said, "Your Majesty, when are we going north?" ”

"Let's rest for two days." Rong Jing said.

Hogg raised his head: "Why, the current situation is very good, and the soldiers are fast, why don't we just take the capital in one go?" ”

Rong Jing smiled when he heard this: "Zhou Guo is a piece of fat, we want it, naturally there are others who want it, they won't watch Nanchu annex Zhou State, not to mention that if you want to take the imperial city, it will not be a matter of one or two days, and there will be a tough battle to fight at that time." ”

Qin Xiao frowned when he heard this: "But as far as I know, now there are only 80,000 garrisons left near the capital, and we have more than 400,000 people, so it shouldn't be difficult to take the capital." ”

"Wrong, don't forget, in addition to the 100,000 standing garrisons, there are 8,000 forbidden troops in the capital of Zhou, 30,000 garrison battalions, 5,000 military guard battalions, and 20,000 people guarding the mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum in the capital, in addition, you took 100,000 people from the Beirong border, but there are still nearly 130,000 troops left, that is to say, Emperor Zhengde still has at least 250,000 troops in his hands. If we rush north, Emperor Zhengde will definitely send troops to try his best to stop it, even if we can win in the end, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory, not to mention the loss of troops in vain, and it is even possible to give up the victory we have already achieved to others, and put ourselves in danger. ”

After Xue Rou finished speaking calmly, Huo Ge and the others all changed their faces, Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Does he dare to withdraw all the 130,000 troops, isn't he afraid that Beirong will send troops south?" ”

Rong Jing said lazily beside him: "What is there to be afraid of, if the capital can't be saved, what is he doing to keep the so-called border pass?" Besides, even if Emperor Zhengde does not withdraw his troops at the moment, it is a matter of time before Beirong sends troops to attack Zhou, rather than facing the enemy at both ends, it is better to gather troops together and keep the imperial city, and then he, the emperor of Zhou, will have the capital to negotiate with Southern Chu and Beirong. ”

"And now are we?"

"Wait."

Wait for Beirong to send troops!

Wait for Emperor Zhengde to integrate his forces!

Wait for the world to be divided equally, or ......

Dominate the world! (To be continued.) )
