In the early morning of the second day, the city of Checheng, which had been quiet all night, suddenly launched an intensive operation in the early morning of this day, and the army that left the country was only Wang Yan led 10,000 elite troops into the city last night to make the most basic preparations. And this morning, Empress Chen Xinyu personally led the remaining 20,000 troops into the city, where she had been absent for nearly 15 or 6 years.

Chen Xinyu's thoughts fell into the memories of the past, when her father used his life and lifelong energy to try his best to leave the city, and the main purpose of leaving the city was to avoid the threat of the royal Chen family. Now they have finally realized their father's lifelong ideal, returned to the city, and finally cleared all the obstacles in the city, and completely solved the biggest problem that has been plaguing them, the obstacle of the royal Chen family. Now, Chen Xinyu has returned to this place as a victor and an absolute powerhouse.

When Chen Xinyu entered the city today, he did not enter the city alone in silence, but chose to lead the army into the city together, for Chen Xinyu, the most important issue now is not the relationship between the city. Checheng was not a particularly important thing in her opinion, after all, Checheng had been in the hands of the royal Chen family for so many years. Although the city has now fallen and the power established by the imperial Chen family has also been declared extinct, the power of the imperial Chen family has not ended there, on the contrary, a series of forces within the imperial Chen family still exist here, and the family members basically live here. On the one hand, she actually wants to deal with the royal Chen family, and try her best to use her own means to eliminate all the power and status of the royal Chen family, and on the other hand, she is actually more worried about the intricate relationship between the royal family and the Chen family in the city, if it is not handled well, it will lead to many unknown problems.

And the second point is more helpless than the first concern. Now, although they have reoccupied Checheng and the surrounding counties, most of the land of the royal Chen family is still in the hands of the Qi State. Although the Qi State did not have many garrisons now, they were all alliances after all, and it was an unwise move for them to rashly send troops to attack these cities. Without an excuse, their alliance relationship cannot be broken for the time being, and besides, Chen Xinyu really does not have many troops that he can dispatch now, except for the troops that need to be stationed in the city here, the other troops that can be dispatched are really not enough. In desperation, Chen Xinyu finally decided to temporarily rest the army here, rectify the relationship within the royal Chen family, and temporarily keep the army to rest here. It's just such a thorough city, and for Chen Xinyu, there are a lot of things to deal with, including things like the new official structure, which I am afraid will not be able to integrate in a few months. Therefore, Chen Xinyu's only hope now is that Qi State can understand the righteousness and take the initiative to give up Thorn City or Qicheng and the county towns under its jurisdiction. This also saves them trouble, and can also facilitate the future organization of an army to jointly attack the battle of the feudal country. Of course, these are all things that you will have to deal with in the future, and they have nothing to do with the current situation for the time being.

Kong Hong is going to go back to his house to meet Zhao Ling first. took the lead in saying goodbye to Chen Xinyu, and Chen Xinyu came to the front of the king's palace under the escort of five thousand guards, she almost didn't remember what memory she had of this place when she was a child, she understood the situation clearly, and finally decided to come here first to take a look at the situation. At the gate of the palace, Wang Yan, the general who had been waiting for Chen Xinyu's arrival here, had already greeted him, and at the moment when Chen Xinyu's carriage fell, Wang Yan immediately greeted him and whispered something in Chen Xinyu's ear.

Chen Xinyu was taken aback, if this is really the case, I am afraid that something will happen to the royal Chen family now. The news that Wang Yan told her was nothing else, it was the news that the head of the Chen family of the royal family, Chen Xuan, committed suicide. "Hurry up and take me to see what happened!" One such thing happened at this juncture, although Chen Xinyu would kill Chen Xuan anyway, convict the royal Chen family, and use this means to solve the civil war that has been away for more than ten years. But I never thought that now Chen Xuan actually committed suicide. This situation made Chen Xinyu unable to calm down anymore, and she immediately gave this order to Wang Yan in front of her.

"Yes!" Wang Yan also knew that this matter was very important, he immediately ordered the four gray-clothed guards beside him to open the palace gate of the Taiji Palace, and was about to call the soldiers to follow, but Chen Xinyu waved his hand and said: "Everyone is not allowed to move, just stay where you are, and wait for my news! This is my order." Speaking of this, Chen Xinyu didn't care about the others, just turned around and strode into the Tai Chi Hall, Wang Yan behind him was slightly stunned, and then sped up to keep up with Chen Xinyu's figure. After a short time, the two of them disappeared from the sight of all the guards, and disappeared into the Taiji Hall, which was not too deep in the light.

Originally, after learning that the city was going to surrender, the gray-clothed guards who were originally guarding around the Taiji Hall also gathered in the front hall to wait, and no one noticed Chen Xuan's movements in the apse.

When Wang Yan led dozens of gray-clothed guards to the apse, which had long since become empty, they had already seen Chen Xuan, the head of the royal Chen family, who was lying on the table and had lost his breath. Faced with such a corpse, Wang Yan really had no other way but to choose to collect his corpse and temporarily find a Nanmu coffin to place in the apse. But how to bury or not to be buried, these still need Chen Xinyu to decide.

The distance between the front hall of the Taiji Hall and the apse is actually not far, and the footsteps of Chen Xinyu and Wang Yan are very fast, and the two of them have already appeared at the door of the apse after a while, because such an incident happened in this apse. As a last resort, the king ordered his two personal guards to guard the gate of the apse and not allow any of them to enter.

These two Wang Yan's personal guards saw Wang Yan and Chen Xinyu coming from the main hall, and they themselves knew Empress Shengde. So, they immediately knelt down and arched their hands and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the general!"

"No courtesy," Chen Xinyu waved his hand, and then pointed to the apse, "Since you came here yesterday, has anyone ever been in?" Chen Xinyu tried his best to keep his emotions calm.

The two guards hurriedly stood up and arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty, we are guarding this place day and night, and no one will enter this apse." ”

Wang Yan, who was standing on the side, immediately comforted Chen Xinyu and said, "Your Majesty, please relax, most of the people here don't know about it, and even the most intimate gray-clothed guard next to Chen Xuan doesn't know about Chen Xuan's suicide here." It's impossible for anyone to get in. ”

Chen Xinyu thought of something else now, she turned her head to Wang Yan and asked, "Since the city was destroyed yesterday, how do you settle all the noble members and elders of the Chen family of the royal family now?"

Wang Yan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please rest assured Your Majesty, I have ordered the guards to gather them in the palace in the east, and someone will monitor them day and night. Just wait for His Majesty to ask them something. ”

Chen Xinyu smiled slightly, she now wants to see the mentality of these members of the Chen family of the royal family, if they swear not to surrender, they can also use it at that time. If they are still snakes and rats, they will blame her for being ruthless.

However, what is more critical now is Chen Xuan, so Chen Xinyu didn't care about other things, she walked directly into this apse, and Wang Yan followed in. Sure enough, under the bookcase of this apse, Chen Xinyu saw a bottle cap opened, and only half of the crystal clear liquid in the bottle remained. Chen Xinyu picked up the bottle and sniffed it quietly, knowing that it was made of the treasure of the royal Chen family, the Soul Restoration Grass. It is rumored that a dead person can be resurrected from the dead as long as they have the Soul Restoration Grass in their mouth, and once the living person tastes the Soul Restoration Grass, he will immediately die of severe poison in his body, leaving no trace on his body. This half bottle is down, not to mention ordinary people, even immortals may be difficult to rescue.

Chen Xinyu sighed, and her eyes immediately focused on the Nanmu coffin placed in this apse in front of her. Chen Xinyu silently took a deep breath, turned around and ordered Wang Yandao: "Pass on my order, although Chen Xuan has committed a heinous crime, but it will not harm his children, so he was ordered to be placed in the cemetery of the people in the east of the city, and he was not allowed to enter the tomb. Chen Xinyu then smiled slightly, "The other members of the royal Chen family, I will consider it after I go to meet them." ”

"Yes! Weichen will do it immediately!" Wang Yan knew in his heart that the Xianling Mausoleum was a place where members of the Chen family of the imperial family of the past dynasties were buried after their deaths, and if they could not be buried in the Xianling Mausoleum, it was equivalent to not recognizing his identity as a member of the Chen family of the royal family, and this punishment was already considered light.

Wang Yan just wanted to leave, but Chen Xinyu suddenly stopped him and continued to instruct: "Order, let Zhao Ling and Tong Meng come to see me, Zhao Ling can hold off for a while if Sister Hong wants to talk to him, but hurry up and invite Tong Meng here!"

"Wechen understands!"

Wang Yan left, Chen Xinyu paced back and forth in this apse alone, this apse still seemed to be almost no different from when she left, except for some furnishings and books changed, other things seemed to remain here without any changes. Being in this apse, Chen Xinyu was immediately attracted by her own memories, she stood in place, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little stupid for a while. It wasn't until one of the attendants guarding the door of the apse turned around and entered the apse that stopped her thoughts, and Chen Xinyu woke up suddenly, and then returned to his former majesty. "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty," the guard knelt down on one knee, "the envoy of the Qi Kingdom has fallen, and is now waiting for His Majesty to receive him at the palace gate." ”

Chen Xinyu suddenly came to her senses, and she had indeed been looking forward to this news for a long time.
