Chapter 61: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Xiao Chumo first went to the army, discussed with Lu Qihan, and then went to the palace again, and met with everyone in the palace on the grounds of the errand of settling prisoners of war, and also discussed.
Everyone knew that something big was coming, and they were all very excited, especially Lu Qihan had already begun to gear up and was planning to do a big job.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Chumo admonished them for a long time, for fear that they would miss at a critical time and let Mo Baozhou take the first step.
Xiao Chumo was just about to leave the palace, but was stopped by a eunuch, saying that the emperor had something to ask him to come over.
"Does my father-in-law know that the emperor called me over, what is the so-called matter?" After last night's incident, the relationship between him and Mo Baozhou became even more delicate, and Xiao Chumo had to be wary.
The eunuch's attitude was not good, he glanced at him, and said coldly: "How dare we ask about the emperor's affairs, the general should please." ”
When Xiao Chumo's lieutenant heard this, he was annoyed, Xiao Chumo stopped him, smiled at the eunuch, and said, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”
After speaking, he made a calm gesture to the lieutenant general, and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.
Before he got closer, he heard a scream from inside, and by the time Xiao Chumo said to the door, the screaming inside had stopped, and a bloody corpse was carried out, without even a little cover, he could see it very clearly, it was Mo Baozhou's confidant Xu Gonggong.
This Gonggong Xu has been by Mo Baozhou's side since he was still a prince, and he can be regarded as his right-hand man, such a person was also beaten to death by him, which shows that Mo Baozhou has been completely mad at this time.
The eunuch who led the way for Xiao Chumo saw the corpse being carried out, and immediately covered his mouth and nose, and when he walked over, he spat again with a disgusted face, "Betrayal of the master's dog!" ”
"Father-in-law Xu, this is?" Xiao Chumo asked him.
The eunuch didn't have any defense, he only said what kind of letter Xu Gonggong and the queen had reported, Xiao Chumo suddenly realized that it was him who was close to the queen last night, and I am afraid that he would not be able to see Mo Baozhou's actions.
Xiao Chumo thought again, but thanks to him, Panxi can be safe, no matter what he did before, after leaving the palace for a while, let people find the body from the mass grave and find a place to bury it, which can be regarded as returning the favor.
Before he had time to think about it, he followed the eunuch into the imperial study.
There is still a very heavy little blood in the imperial study, the ground, the pillars and the walls are splashed with blood, and there is a bloodstained whip thrown next to it, and the palace people are buried in cleaning, and the atmosphere is not daring to come out.
And Mo Baozhou was only wearing a middle coat, the blood-stained clothes were still on the side, and he hadn't had time to change them, he was wiping his hands that had just been washed, and when he saw Xiao Chumo coming in, he looked at him coldly, "Xiao Qing is here." ”
"See the emperor." Xiao Chumo didn't squint, as if he was ignoring everything that happened in the hall.
Mo Baozhou responded, pushed away the hand of the palace maid who wanted to dress him, turned around and sat directly on the dragon chair, and was about to speak, when he looked down and saw that there were blood stains on his boots, a trace of bloodlust immediately flashed in his eyes, and he directly kicked the palace maid next to him, stretched his feet in front of her, and said coldly: "Lick me clean!" ”
The palace maid thought she had heard it wrong at first, and looked at him with a smile on her face, but she was slapped to the ground by him, "Hurry up!" ”
The palace maid was frightened, knelt at his feet, bowed her head and licked the blood on his shoes.
Mo Baozhou showed a hint of a smile at this time, touched the palace maid's head like a dog, and then looked up at Xiao Chumo again, and said coldly: "It seems that every time I invite Xiao Qing over, it is not the time." ”
This scene made Xiao Chumo feel strongly physiologically uncomfortable, so he could only suppress the urge to gag and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty has to do when he is looking for a minister?" ”
"There is nothing important, but seeing Xiao Qing running around like this, I always want to offer condolences." Mo Baozhou looked at him coldly, and then asked, "Why isn't Xiao Qing curious, how did that dog slave make me unhappy?" ”
Xiao Chumo didn't understand why he called himself over, but he was just watching this play, this dog slave who kept talking, and he was afraid that he was also talking about it.
"Since Your Majesty has dealt with him, he must have his own reasons, how can the minister be better than asking?" He lowered his head and said calmly.
Mo Baozhou snorted coldly and said: "Some people are like this, they are respectful on the surface, as if they are loyal, but in fact, they are already rotten inside, and they all want to die!" He looked at Xiao Chumo and changed his words, "I'm talking about that dog minion, of course I don't mean Xiao Qing, don't think about it." ”
Xiao Chumo couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he said respectfully on his face: "The minister is loyal. ”
"Xiao Qing's loyalty, I naturally know it." Mo Baozhou continued to say in a strange manner: "After all, you have made great contributions to my rebellion twice, and I still have to think about how to reward you." ”
Xiao Chumo said: "Your Majesty is serious, this is what a minister should do. ”
Mo Baozhou looked at him, it is said that Xiao Chumo did make great contributions, and brought 30,000 prisoners of war to build Shuiyun Palace for him, but he didn't know why, he didn't believe it, he was really so loyal.
"If you are truly loyal to me, send your lady to the palace!" He said coldly.
Mo Baozhou's heart froze, he glanced up at Mo Baozhou, and immediately lowered his head, holding back the coldness in his eyes, "I don't understand what Your Majesty means?" ”
"Literally, send your wife to my harem, and I believe that you are loyal to me!" Mo Baozhou looked at him with a condensed gaze, not missing any expression on his face, but although he could see the shock, he couldn't see a trace of anger.
When Mo Baozhou heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth, and then he could suppress the anger in his heart, and only said with great trepidation: "Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the minister?" If there is really a place of dissatisfaction, if you want to kill and kill the minister, you will never complain, just ask Your Majesty not to humiliate the minister like this! ”
"Humiliation?!" Mo Baozhou said angrily: "Didn't you say that you are loyal to me? I don't want to make such a small request, but it's just a woman, you can choose my harem, and ten or eight will be exchanged for you! ”
It is hard to believe that this kind of disregard for ethics comes from the mouth of the king of a country, if Xiao Chumo still had a trace of hesitation before, he is now determined to remove this faint monarch from the throne.
Xiao Chumo couldn't control the anger in his heart, it was not normal if he wasn't angry at this time, "Your Majesty is the minister's wife, there is no reason to give his wife to His Majesty as a concubine, the emperor still cut off the minister's head with a knife!" ”
"You!" Mo Baozhou's face was distorted, and he directly kicked the palace maid lying at his feet to the side, and the palace maid screamed miserably, her head and face were covered with blood, and she fell to the side and didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
Xiao Chumo's teeth clenched even tighter, it was absolutely impossible for him to compromise today, but if he tore his face, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out of this palace, and the situation would become a stalemate.
