After dinner, Xiao Mingyue returned to the house, sat in front of the dressing mirror and looked at the white jade phoenix hairpin sent by Yuwendi in the brocade box, thinking of what happened in the past two days, I felt that Yuwendi was likely to be in danger, although Yuwenxin held the Imperial Forest Army in front of the palace, but there was still the most difficult Zhu Rong by the side of the Empress Dowager Zheng, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be wiped out, thinking about it, he came up with a way to let Yuwendi save his life, so he decided to write a letter, asking Amber to send it to the guards at the palace gate, and asking the guards to send it to the palace garden in the east of Yuwendi City, handed it over to Yi Wei, and asked Yi Wei to rush back to the Northern Wei Dynasty overnight to send a letter to Yu Wendi.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Mingyue thought to herself: "Although that gentleman behaves in a disorderly manner and recklessly recklessly, in the end, he has helped me three times and twice and saved my life, so he should be repaid!" With that, he closed his eyes, let Amber blow out the lamp, and fell asleep.

Night. At the end of the day.

In the barracks of the Imperial Forest Army, Xu Shuo, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, secretly summoned all the Imperial Forest Army and said to everyone: "'Raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while', you are all warriors of my Great Wei, deep Your Majesty Longen, now Empress Dowager Zheng is hegemonic and interferes in the politics of Your Majesty, I and Lord Yuwen want to help Your Majesty regain power, do it tonight, and those who are afraid of death can withdraw!" With that, he drew his sword and pointed it to the sky.

Many of the Imperial Forest soldiers did not flinch, and drew their swords in unison and echoed: "Swear to defend Your Majesty to the death!" Regain power! ”

At this time, a Royal Forest Army ran over and said to Xu Shuo, "Lord Yuwen has arrived. ”

After Xu Shuo heard this, he shouted: "Everyone rush into the Suxi Palace with me, capture the Empress Dowager Zheng, and regain power for Your Majesty!" ”

So a group of people rushed to the Empress Dowager Zheng's bedroom.

Suki Palace.

Wu Ji, the inner attendant, was beating the back for the Empress Dowager Zheng, who opened her eyes slightly, leaned on the table next to her with one hand, and said, "Wu Ji, how long have you been in the palace?" ”

Wu Ji behind him said: "The slave entered the palace at the age of fifteen and became a eunuch, and he was bullied at first, but fortunately he met the queen mother, and thanks to the queen mother's promotion, the slave is only today!" With that, he continued to pound his back with a smile.

Empress Dowager Zheng opened her eyes and said: "At that time, the mourning family was just an ordinary concubine, because of their bad background, they were always forced by other concubines, and even the queen of the first emperor was only polite to me in front of the first emperor. At that time, I hated, not because of my origin, but because of those who were so attached to the flames that I lost my first child when I was pregnant. Fortunately, God has eyes, feng shui takes turns, the queen's son died, and she went crazy, that was her retribution. Later, I was blessed by God and made me pregnant again, in order to give birth to Xi'er safely, I covered it until I gave birth, and I suffered so much in order to give birth to him. But what about him? The crow still knows the 'love of reciprocation', and my son, the king of a country, has conspired with outsiders to murder me! ”

Wu Ji behind him listened to it, and said carefully: "Your Majesty is young, presumably he is also bewitched by others, the Queen Mother can not be angry and hurt her body." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered: "You don't have to comfort me, Xi'er is no longer a three-year-old child, and now he only regards me as an enemy." ”

As soon as the words fell, the leading palace maid ran in and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Xu Dutong led a large group of Imperial Forest Army to rush towards our Suxi Palace!" ”

Wu Ji listened, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Queen Mother, the slave will block the Imperial Forest Army first, please leave the Queen Mother first!" ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said, "What are you panicking about? We haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and the mourning family is sitting here waiting for them! ”

He also commanded the palace people to open the palace door and act as usual.

While speaking, I saw Xu Shuo leading the Imperial Forest Army to rush into the outer palace gate, surrounding the entire Suxi Palace, and then taking the rest of the people into the inner palace, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zheng was sitting indifferently on the couch and tasting pastries, she said solemnly: "Now that I am waiting here, I think the Queen Mother already knows the reason, please hand over the power of the Queen Mother!" ”

Wu Ji stood aside and reprimanded Xu Shuo: "Bold! You, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, dared to trespass into the queen mother's dormitory, and you still spoke wildly. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng continued: "Xu Dutong, if you have anything to say, ask your master to come and tell me!" ”

Xu Shuo said loudly: "Please hand over the Great Seal of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and Lord Yuwen will come immediately." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered: "I really don't know the height of the sky, if I hand over the Great Seal today, it will be equivalent to rebellion, how many heads do you have enough to cut off?!" ”

While speaking, Yuwenxin and Emperor Wei rushed to Suxi Palace.

Emperor Wei said: "If the queen mother is worried about Xu Dutong's head, she can hand over the big seal quickly, and then the widow will prepare a chapter for the queen mother, announcing that the queen mother will no longer participate in political affairs and live for a long time." ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zheng slowly stood up and said, "I really didn't give birth to you in vain, and now you are so filial." ”

After that, he slowly walked in front of Emperor Wei and said, "Want to get the Great Seal? Don't worry, after tonight, if the emperor can still stand here safe and sound, the Great Seal will be taken by you! After saying that, he sneered a few times.

Emperor Wei looked at Empress Dowager Zheng and asked, "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled, stretched out her index finger to her mouth, and said, "Shhh, listen." ”

The crowd heard a fighting sound from outside.

Empress Dowager Zheng added: "The mourning family expected that you would act like today, since you and Nanliang got married, I asked people to inform General Zhu Rong and secretly rushed back to the capital, in addition, every other hour, the pigeon flew on time to pass the book to him, and seeing the letter means that the palace is safe and sound." Today's time has passed, and General Zhu must have known that the mourning family was in trouble and came to the rescue. ”

Emperor Wei said coldly after hearing this: "In this way, the queen mother has long wanted to attack her son, and our mother and son really have a tacit understanding." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "It's not in the way, without a son, I still have a grandson." ”

After Emperor Wei laughed, he said: "I didn't expect that it was the queen mother who was a chess master, so it would be okay if my emperor didn't do it." ”

Yu Wenxin said on the side: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to bear all the consequences. After that, he said to the Empress Dowager Zheng: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty's actions today are all deceived by the old ministers, Your Majesty is young and ignorant, and it is at the instigation of the ministers that he has made such a ridiculous behavior, and I ask the Empress Dowager to forgive Your Majesty." After saying that, he decisively took out the dagger from his arms and stabbed it into his abdomen, and suddenly, blood overflowed.

When Emperor Wei and Xu Shuo saw this scene, they both burst into tears.

Emperor Wei hurriedly supported Yuwenxin's body and said, "Yuwenqing's family, it was the widow who harmed you, and the widow is sorry for you." ”

Xu Shuo on the side said bitterly: "My subordinates will kill Zhu Rong's dog thief and avenge Lord Yuwen." Then he rushed out with the royal guards in the house to meet him.

Yu Wenxin held his last breath, looked at Emperor Wei and gasped weakly and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty will ...... the charges It's all pushed to the old minister, to save his life, and ...... in the future to have a chance...... Before he could finish his ......, he swallowed.

Emperor Wei hugged Yu Wenxin's corpse and wept bitterly.

Outside the palace gate, the Imperial Forest Army and Zhu Rong's army fought bloodily, but in the end, there was a huge disparity in strength, and there was not much left, and Zhu Rong led people to rush into the Suxi Palace.

Zhu Rong strode into the house and said, "Queen Mother, the minister's escort is late." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "The general came at the right time. ”

Zhu Rong immediately called the guards and brought a cup of poisoned wine to Emperor Wei, saying, "Your Majesty, please." ”

Emperor Wei sneered: "General Zhu, you were originally just an ordinary border pawn, if it weren't for your father's appreciation, you would be where you are today?" Now he will take revenge and collude with the Queen Mother to usurp power. ”

Zhu Rong said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true, Zhu was originally from a humble background, and his appearance is not good, if it were not for the cultivation and support of the emperor, there would never be today, but people have to go to a high place, Zhu Mou, as a general who protects the country, is not satisfied!" ”

Emperor Wei sarcastically said: "You will have retribution!" With that, he drank the poisoned wine with tears.

After Zhu Rong heard this, he didn't think so, so he turned to the Queen Mother and said, "In this way, the Queen Mother can sit back and relax." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "Tonight's matter, the general has made a great achievement, and when the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he will not treat the general badly." ”

Zhu Rong looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng and said: "It is an honor for the minister to be appreciated by the Empress Dowager, but in order to avoid ending up like Lord Yuwen in the future, the minister can only be a disloyal and unrighteous person." After that, he asked his subordinates to bring a piece of white silk and sent it to the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng was shocked: "What do you want to do?" Do you want to kill the mourners? Do you know that this is a crime of treason!? ”

Zhu Rong said with a smile: "If Your Majesty is still alive, I am plotting rebellion by doing this; But now that Your Majesty is dead, the person who killed Your Majesty is the Queen Mother, and if I do this, it will be considered a failure at most! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the two subordinates around him strangled the neck of the Empress Dowager Zheng together, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zheng was out of breath.

One of his subordinates asked, "General, what about the others?" ”

"Kill them all, don't leave a single mouth alive!" Zhu Rong said.

So, several of his subordinates drew knives and stabbed the people in the palace of Empress Dowager Zheng one by one, and suddenly, the sound of death in the house was naughty, and the blood flowed like a river.

At the same time, outside the post station more than ten miles away from the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yu Wendi and an attendant dismounted, and a post man came over to lead the horse and said to Yu Wendi: "Childe, it's so late, please go inside to rest, and then hurry at dawn." ”

Yu Wendi said urgently: "We have something important, quickly prepare two fast horses for us!" With that, he took out a bag of silver and threw it to the postman.

When the post man saw that Yu Wendi was so generous, he went to prepare the horse happily.

At this time, a horse came running from not far away, carrying a person on it, and when he got closer, Yu Wendi recognized it as Ding Fu, a close confidant of Xu Shuo, and saw Yu Wendi and said: "Son, don't go back to the capital, Zhu Rong led people into the palace, and if you go back at this moment, it will be equivalent to sending you to death in vain." ”
