227 Conspiracy (Pink Plus Change)

The conspiracy has begun, but the entire Qingzhou, and even the entire Daxi Dynasty, is still in a calm situation on the surface.

Shang Jinxiu was unaware of all this. What she cares about most now is just a small business. Cheng Xibo's prohibition in the sea of knowledge made her vigilant, and since then she has fallen into a long-lasting cultivation. Sometimes a dozen seats are a few days, but fortunately, Lan Qi thought that she was cultivating internal strength, although she was worried, she didn't think much about it.

It's just that since the first time, Li Shuhua has stored a large amount of dried meat, preserved fruits, and water in Shang Jinxiu's practice room, so that Shang Jinxiu can eat it and not go hungry.

Shang Jinxiu, however, stored all these things in the space after entering the practice room, and only then would it be safer. These are Li Shuhua's intentions, and she wants to waste them in vain.

Each time she spent time in retreat, it became so long that even Lan Qi became worried. And after checking Shang Jinxiu's internal strength, Lan Qi couldn't help but look at Shang Jinxiu with the eyes of a 'monster'.

Without it, Shang Jinxiu's internal force has grown too perverted! Such a cultivation speed, she had never heard of at all! Jing Tang is the most talented of all their junior brothers and sisters, and he also has the fastest cultivation speed, but compared with Shang Jinxiu's current speed, it is really not enough.

However, this is just the internal force that Shang Jinxiu deliberately transformed in order to prevent Lan Qi from worrying, otherwise, if Lan Qi knew her true strength, I am afraid that she would be the same as Cheng Xibo, and she couldn't help but think that Shang Jinxiu was an old monster pretending to be.

Time passed in a hurry in the endless cultivation, and seeing the entire Daxi Dynasty singing and dancing, the grain also ushered in a bumper harvest. Not long after the beginning of autumn, there was a war on the northern frontier.

The Cauchy people living in the Northern Desert Wasteland survive the winter in peace. Every year after autumn, they will go to the Central Plains to plunder. The last emperor of the previous dynasty was deaf and was beaten to pieces by the Cauchy. Every year a large amount of grain, silk, gold and silver was tributed.

When Emperor Taizu Anqi overthrew the previous dynasty and established the Daxi Dynasty, the Corsi wanted to take the opportunity to take the Central Plains in one fell swoop, but they were defeated by Anqi and his troops.

Later, Anqi appointed Xin Zhan to hold on to the northern frontier, and after a few years, the Cauchy could no longer endure the bitter cold of the northern desert wasteland, and in order not to starve to death in the harsh winter, the Causi made a comeback.

It's a pity that after the establishment of the Great Xi Dynasty. The various forces only care about dividing up their interests and cultivating their own forces. Even if Emperor Anqi wanted to fight again, the Northern Desert Wasteland was a bitter cold land, even if it was defeated, it would be useless, but it would cost a lot of military spending, and countless soldiers would be turned into bones.

In addition, not long after the establishment of the Great Xi Dynasty, the situation was unstable and the treasury was empty, and it was a time when everything was in ruins. The population lost during the civil war has not yet been replaced. Even if Anqi wanted to fight again, it would be very difficult to draw troops.

The Cauchy people come to plunder every year after autumn, and there is no Great Wall here, even if Anqi wants to build it. I didn't dare to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang in the mouth of Empress Xin. An excessively long battle line can always be robbed by the Cauchy people, who never love to fight, and run away after grabbing.

Each raid can consume too much of the population. So that the rest of the people can survive the winter.

Xin Zhan was stationed at the border passes, without sufficient military funds and food and grass. All he can do is minimize losses every year. The biggest blow to the Cauchy who came to raid. As for leading his troops into the hinterland of the Cauchy, it's not that he doesn't want to, but the conditions don't allow it at all!

This time, after the autumn, the Cauchy made a comeback again. At first, the emperor didn't care, anyway, there would be such a thing every year, and when he filled the treasury and freed his hands, he would naturally deal a heavy blow to these Cauchy.

This time, however, something went wrong.

The Xin family's army, which was originally brave and good at fighting, was defeated and retreated this time, but the Cauchy people were extremely brave. However, in just seven days, the Cauchy tribe has taken seven cities at the border. The momentum is like a bamboo, like entering a no-man's land.

The battle report flew back to the imperial capital like snowflakes, the emperor was furious, and the court and the central government were even more indignant. There are those who scold the Cauchy, and even more scold Xin Zhan for dereliction of duty.

For a time, it was all about the impeachment of Xin Zhan.

Although the emperor had the heart to protect his brother-in-law, he was also angry because of such a result. Inevitably, Empress Xin interceded for Xin Zhan, but he simply avoided it, and even the crown prince Anton Hua was also implicated, and was scolded by the angry emperor.

In order to salvage this one-sided situation, the emperor sent another military general to fight. It was a military general who was born in a civilian country, and he has made a lot of military exploits so far, and he can be regarded as an upstart in the DPRK. However, compared to the Xin family, which has made outstanding achievements, it is completely inadequate.

However, not long after this man went, he turned the tide, not only successfully blocking another round of city seizures by the Cauchy, but also recapturing three cities from the Cauchy in one go.

After the news was transmitted back to the imperial capital, in order to stabilize the panic, the emperor immediately told the world, and as the results of the battle spread throughout the Great Xi Dynasty, rumors against the Xin family spread everywhere, and the charges were simply outrageous.

Qingzhou City, as a big city, is naturally more well-informed. At this time, the rumors against the Xin family were many times more arrogant than those against Shang Shigong at the beginning, not only Xin Zhan was charged with various crimes, but even the rest of the Xin family did not escape this catastrophe. Even, even Empress Xin was said to be the demon queen who confused the emperor.

This is obviously a huge conspiracy against the Xin family, at this time, the dark side of human nature is completely exposed, almost everyone has forgotten the exploits of the Xin family for more than ten years, and all that is remembered is the unverified sins in the rumors!

Shang Shigong couldn't help but think of his former self, when what he had encountered was less than one-ten-thousandth of what he had at this time. The people's criticism of the Xin family made him feel chills all over his body. He also smelled the smell of conspiracy, but whether the Xin family could escape this catastrophe depended on whether the emperor was willing to keep the Xin family.

Thinking of the emperor's treatment of the Gu family, Shang Shigong had no hope for the emperor's attitude. has been an official for many years, and for the emperor's thoughts, Shang Shigong can guess some of them.

The Xin family was originally a wang family, and they followed the emperor to establish the Great Xi Dynasty and made great contributions, plus the Xin family also produced Queen Xin, who has been powerful over the years, even if Xin Zhan has been guarding the frontier, he still can't eliminate the deep jealousy in the emperor's heart.

Now that something like this has happened, the border pass has been lost, and Xin Zhan can't shirk his responsibility no matter what. This is a wonderful opportunity for the emperor to dispose of the Xin family, Shang Shigong does not think that the emperor will give up this opportunity for the sake of such a little affection.

Sure enough, the emperor sent someone to escort Xin Zhan back to Beijing, and sent troops to surround the Xin family, to thoroughly investigate the Xin family's crimes. The Xin family, as a prestigious family, has a big family and many descendants, if you really want to find out, how can you be completely innocent?

Empress Xin was completely panicked after learning that the Xin family had an accident, and asked to see the emperor but was avoided by the emperor. The crown prince Anton-hwa knelt in front of the Golden Palace and did not see the emperor until he fainted.

The conspiracy against the Xin family finally unfolded completely, and the fierce beast that had been lurking for a long time completely showed its fangs. How many people have the Xin family offended over the years, and now more people have fallen into the ground.

The capital has already been turbulent, and there are countless people waiting to share the benefits.

Fortunately, Qingzhou is far away, and it has nothing to do with the Xin family. Even so, Shang Shigong became more and more cautious, for fear that he would accidentally get involved in this devouring conspiracy.

The lost city has been recaptured, and not only that, but this time the Cauchy who came to raid were almost completely wiped out, leaving only a handful of people who fled back to the Northern Desert Wasteland in a hurry like lost dogs.

However, God seems to be deliberately going against the Xin family, and the officers and soldiers who escorted Xin Zhan back to Beijing were all killed, using Xin Zhan's famous weapon, the phoenix gun, and Xin Zhan mysteriously disappeared. The people of the Xin family, who were surrounded, were also caught and seized when they fled. As soon as these two pieces of news came out, they almost confirmed the charges of Xin Zhan and the Xin family.

In Fengyuan Palace, Queen Xin, who got the news, was so angry that she vomited blood, she had already been tossed and haggard these days, as soon as this blood spit out, her face was covered with a layer of blue and gray, but her pale lips were smeared with bright colors because of bloodstains, which was really unknown.

When the palace maid saw it, she couldn't help but choke and cry. The boiled liquid is dark brown, bitter and fishy, and it makes people sick when they smell it. Empress Xin used to dislike taking medicine the most, but at this time, she forcibly got used to the medicine with nausea.

The palace maid hurriedly fed her a bowl of honey water to dilute the bitter medicinal taste in her mouth.

After drinking the water, Empress Xin leaned on the pillow weakly, looked at the palace maid and asked weakly, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, does he still refuse to see me? ”

The palace maid hung her head guiltily, she didn't dare to tell Empress Xin the truth at all. Fengyuan Palace has actually been surrounded by heavy troops, and she can't get out at all, let alone help Empress Xin ask to see the emperor? Even the crown prince Anton Hua, she heard about it, and it seems that he is also under house arrest in the East Palace.

Obviously, this time the emperor did not intend to show mercy.

However, she still comforted Queen Xin: "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, and I really can't spare time, Niangniang still recuperates from my illness first, you are the person that Your Majesty puts on the top of your heart, as long as Your Majesty takes time, I will naturally come to see you." ”

Queen Xin couldn't hear that she was just comforting herself, they have been married for many years, what kind of person is Anqi, can she not understand? When Hua'er was assassinated, she almost ...... Didn't the emperor also directly cover up the past for the sake of the great cause? She should have understood!

Empress Xin thought of her son, who she hadn't seen for a few days, and the sourness in her heart exploded uncontrollably. She bit her lip to keep the cry from overflowing, but the tears rolled down and wet her face in an instant.

It was too sour, Queen Xin couldn't help but grab the palace maid's hand and choked: "You say, why is he so ruthless?" Has he forgotten how the Xin family helped him in the first place? ”

This sentence just made An Qi, who came to see her, hear it word for word. (To be continued......)
