Chapter 299: The Monarch Dies

Xiang Yeqi was wondering what kind of person could make such a huge wave in the court, and saw the man sitting with his back to him turn around slightly, and said hello to her, calling her by her name and surname.

It's Qiu Ming.

This is not surprising.

"The King of Western Xia cooperated with Gu Yanchao not long ago, and he personally burned the grain and grass of Huaguo, and those ministers didn't put a knife on your neck just now, so they were very polite to you."

Xiang Yeqi laughed, pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, and said, "Don't say anything else, the king of Western Xia came to Huaguo at this time, won't Gu Yanchao be suspicious?" ”

"The Lone King has already broken with him, so why is he suspicious."

Qiu Ming's smile was hearty, as if he cared about Gu Yanchao's suspicions, as if he wished that Gu Yanchao was worried and doubted him more.

Xiang Yeqi glanced at each of them, and guessed that he had come too late and missed some tricks that the two had carefully planned.

Helpless for a moment, he whispered to Yeqi: "Confess and be lenient." ”

Qiu Ming and Bo Zhaoxu really don't deal with each other like that, so they don't have to worry about who will explain first.

Bo Zhaoxu said sarcastically: "It's not so much that the king of Western Xia is here to surrender to Cheng, but that he is here to ask me for help." ”

"Help?"

Xiang Yeqi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "With the current national strength of Western Xia, do you still need to ask for help at various risks?" What's more, the two countries are already allies, so what is there to ask for help? ”

Qiu Ming shook his head helplessly: "It has only been a long time since King Gu ascended the throne, and it is not because of His Majesty that he has secured this position, but when the two countries are at war, it is inevitable that some people feel that King Gu has lost His Majesty's help and cannot sit on the throne, so he secretly voted for Gu Yanchao." Naturally, Hu Guo also means this. ”

"What a vicious ploy."

Xiang Ye's heart was shocked.

Hu and Xixia joined forces to attack China, she originally thought that Hu would consider engulfing the Western Xia after breaking through Hua, but she never expected that now before the eight characters were skimmed, Gu Yanchao and others had already started to divide the interior of the Western Xia Kingdom and then disintegrate them one by one.

Qiu Ming's throne is almost empty.

Xiang Yeyan was worried about it, but he suddenly reacted: "Gu Yanchao is very careful, since you already know it, doesn't it mean that you already have a countermeasure?" ”

As if he had heard something very interesting, Qiu Ming shook off the object in his hand and said with appreciation: "Yes, my father is quite famous in the court, and he also has some good friends in private. However, in this play, Lone King decided to accompany them to act. ”

The night was in vain, the candlelight was swaying in the copper platform, and Bo Zhaoxu said in a low voice: "There is no other way." ”

People who want him to hold the time in his hands will also have times when he feels that it can only be like this.

Xiang Yeyan judged in an instant, and then it must be a vicious battle with Gu Yanchao, if it wasn't for the addition of the Western Xia Kingdom, a certain number that Gu Yanchao didn't understand, I'm afraid Gu Yanchao's chances of winning would be even greater.

And that's all it can be.

"Then let's fight quickly, the granary in Beijing has been burned, and it will not be able to fight for a long time."

Xiang Yeqi secretly glanced at Qiu Ming, she knew that Qiu Ming was most likely to gain Gu Yanchao's trust, but she was still a little dissatisfied.

Qiu Mingyun said lightly: "What are you afraid of?" You can also be short of your food and grass, rest assured, although the lonely king acted recklessly, but he is not a fool who has no intention of doing things, the lonely king set fire that day not only made a big noise, but also sent people to remove most of the grain and grass in advance, leaving it for you to march and fight, so that the people in the city can spend the winter, it is not a problem at all. ”

"I've already sent someone to check it, and he's right."

Bo Zhaoxu nodded thoughtfully, supporting Qiu Ming.

Coldly, Xiang Yeyan suddenly understood why Qiu Ming could still sit calmly in front of him and talk at this time, it was a joke, if he really burned down the granary of Huaguo like a fool, Bo Zhaoxu would have let him kneel on the ground and explain his intentions.

Xiang Yeqi: "What happens after that?" ”

"I need to call back the minister who left the palace just now." Bo Zhaoxu said, "The bigger the formation, the better, if you want to push things down, you have to do this." I just saw by the window that there seemed to be a fire on the other side of the Queen's Palace, what happened? ”

Xiang Yeqi relayed everything he had just seen and heard to Bo Zhaoxu, and his face was really full of worry as Xiang Yeqi expected, and said: "Before the war is settled, you can come and rest with me, and the palace is not peaceful at this time." ”

Qiu Ming sneered angrily: "What kind of security is not safe, who doesn't know what your mind is, Your Majesty, what kind of idea you are fighting, old husband and wife, what can't you say directly?" ”

For a moment, Xiang Yeyan felt that Qiu Ming was his evil mother-in-law, and Bo Zhaoxu was the new daughter-in-law who was troubled in every way.

In order to prevent these two people from pinching up again, Xiang Yeqi hurriedly stepped forward to separate Bo Zhaoxu from Qiu Ming, and patted the table with great momentum: "Leave the matter of introducing the courtiers into the palace to me, but what do you want to do in the future, I need to have some details, otherwise I can't let you go to death." ”

……

It was night, the hour was close to curfew, and there should not be a single figure passing by on the street, but several officials' residences opened their gates, and ministers, roughly dressed in court clothes, stepped into the carriages of their colleagues or their own families with grumbling news that was silently circulating.

They were resting just in time, but I don't know where to spread the news that Bo Zhaoxu intended to negotiate peace with Qiu Ming, the Western Xia army who had broken with him and joined forces with the Hu people, to mend the alliance between the two countries, and just a few words were enough to mad those old ministers.

The courtiers admitted that Bo Zhaoxu was a genius who was rare in Huaguo for thousands of years, and he saw it with his own eyes, so they were naturally very worried that he would go astray for a while, and mistakenly believed in Qiu Ming, the monarch of Western Xia.

After all, with such an embarrassing knot, how could they believe that Qiu Ming really came to surrender, instead of discussing some plan with Gu Yanchao to commit a traitor?

He only sent someone to burn the grain and grass that had been stored in the capital of Huaguo for a long time, and suddenly realized that what he had done was inappropriate, and how could it be possible to make peace with Bo Zhaoxu?

The old ministers complained and scolded Bo Zhaoxu for being confused all the way, and when they came to the foot of the palace, they were silent and speechless, and they looked at each other with their colleagues who were also speechless outside the palace gate, confirming that they were all here for this matter, and they seemed to have some kind of consciousness in their hearts.

The monarch died, the doctor died, and the soldier died.

However, they didn't expect that they hurried outside the imperial study to intercept Bo Zhaoxu and Qiu Ming, and even thought about how to make a drama of loyal ministers and not bribing the master, but they were still a step too late, and they didn't see Bo Zhaoxu have any plans to form an alliance with Qiu Ming......

On the contrary, he used his body to stop Bo Zhaoxu's sword in front of the night, and once made peace with Bo Zhaoxu, his throat was torn as if he was about to cry and bleed: "After all, he is the monarch of Western Xia, and when the Three Kingdoms are at war, please think twice!" ”

Qiu Ming seemed to have been beaten badly, and there was an extremely obvious bruise on his face, so he covered his chest and collapsed to the ground, so he was down.

Bo Zhaoxu put on a cold look to treat outsiders, and the sword did not move half a minute, still in front of Xiang Yeqi's body, leaving a just right distance.

He said, "Aifei, I don't want to hurt you, get out of the way." ”

At this time, it was okay to go around for a few more rounds, but when I saw Yeqi, the courtiers had already surrounded me in surprise, and they knew the truth that there should be no delay.

Brushing his sleeves to hide his tears in the night, he retreated to the side to avoid the sword.

At the end, Xiang Yeqi covered his throat with heavy sleeves, and pretended to cry: "Your Majesty, Hua Guo is isolated at this time, and it is difficult to be an enemy of Hu State, and you still want to give up such a help as the monarch of Western Xia, it is really a little confusing!" If you behead him like this, the Western Xia Kingdom will not do so. ”

The reputation of the wicked cannot be escaped.

Xiang Yeqi used his afterglow to examine those courtiers whose expressions had changed suspiciously, and just a few words were enough to attract the courtiers with bad intentions.

The prime minister repeatedly tossed and turned with the mansion in the palace, and listened to other colleagues enter the palace to dissuade him, so he turned his head and rushed back to the palace before he had time to tie up his hair crown, so he probed his head, unwilling to let go of this opportunity: "This person is suspicious, he only made friends with the Hu people not long ago, and now his face has changed, saying that he wants to be friendly with my country, where can he be credible?" Niangniang was deceived by these truths! ”

Bo Zhaoxu took the opportunity to answer: "What the prime minister said is good. I and the king of Western Xia were allies, but he broke his oath because of some gaps, and joined forces with the Hu people to burn the granary of my capital, how should I abandon my previous suspicions and join forces with him to fight the enemy? The king of Western Xia is guilty first, and I am just a return gift. ”

Coldly, Bo Zhaoxu threw his saber in front of Qiu Ming's body, and the dark iron forged sword under the wind was as cold as Bo Zhaoxu's expression.

The courtiers under the steps secretly inhaled the cold air, because they were carrying the moonlight on their backs, they could only see the silhouette under the moon and Bo Zhaoxu's cold face, the young general who led the army to kill the foreign enemy at the age of more than ten years and was afraid of the foreign enemy like a demon, seemed to appear in front of their eyes again.

The prime minister and the minister beside him muttered to themselves, calling this a helpless move.

Although killing the Western Xia king Qiuming would make the two countries completely rupture, it would make the Hu people and the Western Xia Kingdom also have intermittent riots and raise the morale of the army.

Qiu Ming didn't even struggle, he tragically grabbed the hilt of the sword that was as cold as a cold pool, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the Lone King really chose the wrong path, and he had to go all the way to the dark." ”

He held the hilt of his sword and stabbed the blade into his heart as everyone watched, the red blood looking a little black in the moonlight.

Qiu Ming lay quietly on the green bricks, and the blood on her face gradually faded.

It's not a pretty sight.

Xiang Yeqi frowned uncomfortably.

Bo Zhaoxu pulled the saber out of Qiu Ming's heart, retracted it into its sheath intact, and ordered the guards on the side: "Come on, carry it down." ”

The guards neatly lifted up the white cloth and other things that had been prepared earlier, lifted Qiu Ming onto the wooden frame, and covered it with a layer of white cloth announcing the result.
