Chapter 314: Demotion of officials and distress in Gu Fengzhou

At this time, the little emperor pushed open the door, Zhao Hou just got up, his back to the little emperor, his green fingers held the comb and gently combed the cloud temples, heard the footsteps, Zhao Hou turned his head and said in surprise: "The emperor is back?" ”

"Queen Mother!" The little emperor hesitated for a moment, approached Zhaohou, he turned his big eyes suspiciously, and looked around the house, although the male protagonist was hidden, but he forgot to hide his clothes in his busy schedule, he saw the man's clothes, and knew that something bad happened to the queen mother.

Although Empress Zhao has lived in seclusion in the cold palace for many years, she is also a woman in her twenties after all, and she keeps saying how much the first emperor loves her, and she has a deep love for the first emperor, but it is just a lie.

She knew what she needed, and she was like a withering rose, in need of rain and dew too much.

"It's good for the emperor to come back, can you be safe along the way?" Empress Zhao got up with a smile and touched the little emperor's head, as if she had been tolerant and generous about the previous things.

The little emperor sighed, retracted his gaze, and slammed to the ground at Empress Zhao, and then strode away.

Waiting for the little emperor to go out, the comb in Empress Zhao's hand rolled to the ground with a snap, and a pair of big earthy yellow hands picked up the comb and handed it to Empress Zhao, who hugged the man.

"The emperor has grown up, grown up." She repeated it repeatedly, but tears rolled down.

The little emperor was unhappy.

On the second day, he also went to the court, still sitting on the Sumeru seat, the Queen Mother reconciled everything and managed everything in the beaded curtain and green curtain, and the big and small affairs of the court, they were all "enlightening Your Majesty", but their eyes fell on the woman behind the bead curtain and green curtain.

"What does the prince think?" Whenever Empress Zhao couldn't make up her mind, she lowered her eyes and looked at the man standing in the first row of the class, who was Zhao Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

This person is very vicious and narrow-minded, and every torture instrument in the prison of the Criminal Department was basically invented by Zhao Zheng, who started from an unknown soldier and finally became a scholar of the Criminal Department after 20 years of unremitting efforts.

He's the kind of guy who will do whatever it takes to get the end in his hand.

Over the years, he and Li Zhongxuan have always had political disagreements, and both of them gritted their teeth against each other.

At this moment, the little emperor finally couldn't help it, and said in surprise: "When did Lord Zhao become the prince, the queen mother!" The little emperor was furious, and he found that since Li Zhongxuan left, Empress Zhao was depriving himself of all his rights as a human monarch little by little.

She was devouring what belonged to him, and now, under the premise that she was unprepared, she elected such an evil person to be the prince.

"My emperor is at ease." Empress Zhao said softly: "You go, the queen mother is widowed and lonely, the court is in trouble, the queen mother asked someone to be the regent in order to stabilize the court, Lord Zhao sitting the regent is not only the queen mother's meaning, but the expectation of everyone." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is honest and honest and a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and being this regent really complements each other."

"Lord Zhao is a rare talent, and he is really expected." The people in the court are all out of one nostril, some people agree, everyone agrees, one person opposes, everyone opposes it.

The little emperor realized that it was himself who was truly widowed and lonely, he was really alone, and he was truly incompetent, so he closed his eyes sadly and let his mother do whatever he wanted.

And since Zhao Zhengzuo fell into the deterioration of the regent, he basically had to go to Yishou Palace every day, and everyone in the palace knew that he was the regent on the surface, but secretly he was the face of the queen mother.

At the beginning, Zhao Zheng didn't go to Yishou Palace until nightfall, but later in the daytime, he also entered the queen mother's bedroom in a grand manner, and Gong'e had already become commonplace, and even called it Chitose.

Finally, Empress Zhao, after appointing this person, it seems that this person is young. That Zhao Zheng was originally a treacherous person, often blowing the wind on the pillow between the beds, and Zhao Hou had evil relations with the virtuous ministers one after another.

The matter broke out one day in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the official Liu persuaded Zhao Hou, and actually threw Zhao Hou out of the Qiankun Palace, General Cheng saw this, and rushed into the temple in a rage, and the result of the battle was that both sides were defeated, but the final result was that General Cheng was demoted.

"Kill!" Empress Zhao threw out the token and ordered the warriors in front of the palace to take General Cheng away, and General Cheng was heartbroken and stared at the little emperor with hatred.

The little emperor was also furious and picked up the token, "I am here, I want to see who dares to become a general?" ”

"Niangniang, General Cheng has made great contributions to the establishment of our dynasty for many years, and it seems inappropriate to kill him, so it is better to demote the official and let him be a martial marquis."

Wuhou is not a marquis, Wuhou is not a general, and there are also positions such as the general banner, hussar general, general, chariot general, thousand-commander and so on, which is tantamount to humiliating the general.

General Cheng took off his armor in a fit of rage, threw it in the main hall and left without looking back.

The little emperor was afraid that General Cheng would gather to make trouble, so he belittled General Cheng to go to Fengzhou, and General Cheng only took a family elder and an entourage on the road.

Three days later, General Cheng appeared in Fengzhou.

The matter of degrading General Cheng was something that Li Zhongxuan had thought of, but he didn't expect Empress Zhao to be so mediocre, and let General Cheng be a small pawn in one breath, and when he heard that Empress Zhao appointed Zhao Zheng and other villains, Li Zhongxuan frowned, and Shen Qiaoan choked his wrists.

"But it's okay now, I'm finally with you, and I'm a bird after being demonized in the imperial capital."

"Then Zhao Zheng really became the regent?" Joan always felt impossible.

"It's the regent during the day, but it's hard to say what to do at night." General Cheng smiled ambiguously, and Qiao An understood when she saw that strange smile.

"You arrived safely, this is also an unexpected joy, you also have to pay attention to doing things here with me, none of those bad problems in the imperial capital can be left, even I can't protect myself." Li Zhong announced that General Cheng should pay more attention, and General Cheng kept them in mind one by one.

From the next day, General Cheng made a quick catch, and the next day, finally, General Cheng forgot Li Zhongxuan's words to the clouds.

He had a fight with Bong Yu at noon the next day, and the two fought very violently, if Qiao An didn't intervene, who knows how dark the fight would be? Both of them hung up the lottery, General Cheng had red bloodshot on the corner of his mouth, and Feng Yu's left leg was shaking, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

"It's really boring, everyone is on this mountain and water, and they have to fight in the nest." After Jo Ann criticized, she made them take off their shirts and stand in the snow for the night.

One of these two is not convinced.

"Don't fight in the future, there are so many things in the yamen, can't you see it?" In order to reduce their meeting, Li Zhongxuan asked one of them to go to Dongshan to chop firewood during the day, and the other to go to Xishan to chop wood.

The two of them came back in the middle of the night to compare who cut more firewood today, and Li Zhongxuan was extremely annoyed, because the two of them had cut down the two mountains in a week, and Li Zhongxuan could only let them carry water, so it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Zhongxuan was ready to be a peacemaker to reconcile them, but after the two of them ate a piece of Dongpo elbow, their expressions suddenly changed, and the two hugged each other and cried, and they became best friends.

"That's a shame! It's a lot better to make peace early, in chopping wood, it's all cut to Chencang, you guys are together, and we can do things. ”

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, these two have become difficult brothers, and they have always been by Li Zhongxuan's side.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhongxuan and Du Bian went to the surrounding areas to give alms, and there were still 1,500 taels of silver in the treasury of the county government.

Busy until he came back at night, Li Zhongxuan had already slept, there have been a lot of things recently, Qiao An was afraid that he would wake up Li Zhongxuan, he didn't rest well, and after coming back today, he didn't disturb Li Zhongxuan, and went to sleep in the barracks alone.

At first, Shen Qiaoan thought that General Cheng and Feng Yu were competing in martial arts, but when Qiao An went out, he found that this was not the case.

And Li Zhongxuan's house is only a cross yard away from this barracks, and Li Zhongxuan's side has already suffered a sneak attack.

Because it was a New Year's holiday, the servants and officials and even the little minions in the yamen all went home for the New Year, so they were prepared for a sneak attack by the thieves.

Then a large group of people outflanked the backyard, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng Fengyu and others started a bloody battle with this group of people, and Shen Qiaoan had not yet gone to the front yard, and a person fell behind her.

Qiao An's fist and foot kung fu was useless, she could only call for help, but just after screaming, the man tied a leather whip to her throat, she was almost suffocated, tearing hard, the hand holding the leather whip dragged him, and after a while, Shen Qiao'an's eyes were dark.

The men in black in the front yard and the backyard gathered to deal with Li Zhongxuan, and to cover for the escape.

"Help! Help me! Shen Qiaoan frantically called for help, Li Zhongxuan pointed to the location of the barracks, and Feng Yu hurriedly chased him out.

Du Bianrao is a high martial artist, but he also gave people a sneak attack, and he fell to the ground at the moment and was dying.

Feng Yu could only chase the group of people alone, he was a local, relatively familiar with the path, and soon chased to a Luhuadang, the group of people took a boat to the opposite side, and when Feng Yu also found the boat, the old boatman who rocked the oar said that he would not go to the other side.

"There's a bandit den on the other side, I'm not going, I'm not going!" The old man said that he would not go, and Feng Yu was very anxious and wanted to fly over.

"That Luhuadang, except for the boat can only pass, there is no road, even if the ship passes, it needs an experienced old boatman, one is not careful, it is very likely to be over, even if the guest officer gives me a hundred taels of silver, it is difficult! It's hard, too! "The boatman just wouldn't go to the other side anyway.

Feng Yu could only get off the boat, he walked around the semi-circular island, and after a circle, he realized that the boatman was right, the island was an isolated place, and there was indeed no path around it.

It was almost dawn, Feng Yu didn't dare to delay, so he left in a hurry, and after he went back, he told Li Zhongxuan about what happened here, and Li Zhongxuan frowned.

It's the New Year, and if you want to attack the enemy, you need not only officers and soldiers, but also guides, and even the indigenous Fengyu said that Luhuadang is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, which shows how anxious Li Zhongxuan is.

But on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was still celebrating the full year of life in the sound of firecrackers, General Cheng hurriedly rode his horse to Zhongjing, he wanted to plead with the little emperor, but the little emperor has been busy recently, there are things every day, I am afraid that the real meeting with him will be after the fifteenth.

General Cheng could only go to Xingyuan to move the rescue troops, but who knew that after he left, the general changed generals as a whole, and finally took away more than 20 subordinates.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhongxuan personally led such a group of people to attack, but unexpectedly, this reed swing did not look very wide, but there was another world in it, and their ships first encountered a whirlpool, then encountered an ambush, and finally got lost.

Nine times out of ten, the soldiers in Zhongjing were landlubbers, and they returned with lost soldiers.

As a result, everyone was worried.

And Qiao An, who was kidnapped, woke up with a basin of cold water on the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year!
