A woman's family can be so ruthless, there must be ulterior motives behind it.

Zhou Youchen was the least favored among the princes. Helpless and bullied, even if the crown prince falls, among the remaining eight princes, no one will be able to take his turn. But Meng Xilan recognized him, and in order to assist him in ascending to the throne, curry favor with the Queen Mother, and flatter the first emperor, all methods were used.

She worked hard for so many years, and finally became the queen and the biological mother of the prince. But is that what she's ultimately trying to do?

Her ambitions won't be so simple...... Absolutely not.

Zhou Youchen frowned, looked at the old marquis's face with a slightly distorted smile, and only said: "What is the queen's mind, I can see it very clearly." It's you...... I misread it. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan slowly walked to Zhou Youchen's side, held his hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the old marquis is old, please give him the whole corpse." ”

If you plot against the rebels, you should be punished according to the law, and you will be beheaded all over the house, and you will not leave a whole corpse.

Zhou Youchen held her hand back: "It's still Lan'er generous." ”

Old Marquis Wen knelt on the ground, his face was as white as paper, but he still hooked the corners of his mouth: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

The guards escorted the old marquis down, and Meng Xilan immediately slowly let go of Zhou Youchen's hand, and only said: "The son of the world can't stay, and if you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, there will be endless troubles." ”

Zhou Youchen's eyes sank, looked at her and said, "I really don't leave any of them." ”

Meng Xilan nodded slightly: "The concubine just wants to ask the emperor for a favor, that is, to spare Xiqiao and her two children." In the end, it was her mother's sister, it was the concubine who matched her to marry into the Hou Mansion back then, and the concubine didn't want to cause her to suffer anymore! ”

Her mercy is reserved only for her own people.

Zhou Youchen took a deep breath and said, "Rong Zhen think about it, now is not the time to kill. ”

Meng Xilan saw him hesitating, so she said, "The emperor must not be soft-hearted. Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, this is the first "big gift" we prepared for the Seven Princes. ”

Not only the old marquis, but anyone who secretly colluded with the Seventh Prince, all of them must be eliminated.

See one kill one! Meng Xilan will not give anyone another chance to bite herself.

Zhou Youchen looked at the bursts of cold light in her eyes, and his heart moved slightly.

This is her ruthlessness and her ambition......

The peaceful days that had just been restored in the capital were once again ruthlessly broken. The first to suffer was the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion, followed by the petty officials and officials who were involved in the Wen family among the six departments.

The Wen family and their henchmen under the concurrent crime of several crimes fell into trouble one after another.

The people of Beijing once again saw the power of the emperor's angry thunder.

Meng Xiqiao was taken back to the Meng family, and her two children were also taken care of.

Meng Xiqiao knew that something was wrong, but she didn't know that her husband was dead.

The people of the Wen family, only their mother and son are left.

Paper can't hold fire.

Qiao Huiyun knew that she couldn't hide the matter for too long, so she had to bite the bullet and tell her.

After Meng Xiqiao learned the truth, he was like being hit by five thunderbolts, and his ears rumbled, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

"Second master, he ...... He ......"

Qiao Huiyun sighed lightly and said, "You have to hold on." The Wen family intends to rebel, if it weren't for the grace of the mother, you and the two children would also be buried together. ”

The queen mother saved their lives, which is already a blessing.

Meng Xiqiao beat her chest and cried heartbreakingly.

She knew she wasn't in a position to complain, but her husband was dead, and so was his family.

Qiao Huiyun comforted Meng Xiqiao and said, "You should think about it for the sake of the children." The kids are still young, you have to hold on. ”

As a mother, you can't easily give up and admit defeat. Even if he loses and has nothing left, he can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

When Meng Xiqiao heard this, she gritted her teeth and didn't cry, lowered her head and whimpered, trying her best to wipe the tears off her face.

For the sake of the children, she has to live well.

Whether it is the Wen family or the Meng family, as long as there is a place for her in this world, it is Daxin.

The affairs of the capital were accompanied by the cold wind blowing all the way to Zhou Youlong's ears.

He was frightened and anxious, and it seemed that he had missed the best opportunity.

Zhou Youchen, this kid is quite cunning.

On the one hand, he negotiated peace with the Turks, and on the other hand, he cleaned up the Marquis of Weiyuan, so that he had no way out.

The people around Zhou Youlong gave him an idea, asking him to take advantage of the chaos and quickly wave his troops to the north to capture the capital in one fell swoop.

Zhou Youlong was reluctant to take risks, let alone hurt his vitality.

He doesn't want to go north, he wants to be the emperor directly in Cangzhou.

If Zhou Youchen can't tolerate him, then let him personally send troops to fight.

On the fifth day of October, Zhou Youlong established himself as the king in Cangzhou, with the name of the ancestor and the establishment of the Great Yan Kingdom.

When Zhou Youchen heard this, he was furious.

Meng Xilan persuaded him not to be angry, and thought in his heart: "Count the days, Xiaolizi is coming." When we negotiate the conditions with Tu Du, it's not too late to clean up Zhou Youlong. ”

He is the emperor in Cangzhou, which seems arrogant, but in fact he has no courage.

He didn't dare to come to the capital to fight the emperor, so he could only enclose the land.

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan and said in a deep voice, "You let me endure it?" I can't take it anymore. ”

Meng Xilan patted him on the back and comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, we can't use one heart and two things now." When the Turks calm down, the emperor can concentrate on dealing with Zhou Youlong. The concubine promised that he, the fake emperor, would end in less than 100 days. ”

Zhou Youchen lowered his eyes to look at her face, her expression was surprisingly calm, and his anger was also dissolved.

He calmed down, and he fell silent.

Meng Xilan took the initiative to stretch out her hands and hugged him gently.

Nothing to worry about. If Zhou Youlong led troops into Beijing, maybe she would still be worried, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage at all, and he would only play tricks behind his back.

…

It took a whole month for Gao Welfare to come to Youzhou from the capital.

The late autumn here is comparable to the early winter in the capital, just as cold.

Gao Fuli was so cold that he was sick for several days, and when he arrived at the army camp on the front line, he still had a fever and his throat was hoarse.

After Chu Jingchuan received the holy decree from the imperial court, he no longer sent troops, but only trained his troops every day, guarded the border, and always guarded against the Turkic attack.

The moment he saw Gao Welfare, a trace of surprise flashed on Chu Jingchuan's face.

He never expected that the Minister of Peace would be him.

Gao Fu used the handkerchief given to him by Zhulu to gently cover his mouth and nose, just afraid of passing on his illness to him: "Master Chu, you were surprised to see the minion, right?" ”

Chu Jingchuan reacted slightly, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." ”

He is Meng Xilan's cronies, and he is more reliable than others.

Gao Fuli coughed twice and said, "When I saw Lord Chu, the minion's heart was steady." Niangniang said, let the slave bring a message to Master Chu. ”

Hearing this, Chu Jingchuan straightened his back slightly and said, "You say." ”

"Niangniang said, let the general take care of his body and don't worry too much. If this peace meeting goes well, the general will be able to leave for Beijing. ”

Niangniang's meaning is very simple and clear. She was thinking about him and worried about him.

Hearing this, Chu Jingchuan had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Gao Fuli then coughed for a while, and then calmed down and said, "Ming'er, I will send someone to send a prayer post over and discuss the time with them." ”

He is sick now, it is not suitable to negotiate, and the two sides go back and forth, and they must deal with each other first.

Chu Jingchuan's face slowly sank when he heard this.

"It's not easy to negotiate with them, Tu Du is a very cunning person."

Gao Fuli knew that things were difficult to do: "General rest assured, the minions have prepared for the worst!" ”

Chu Jingchuan saw that he still called himself a "slave", and hurriedly said: "You are the minister of peace, I should call you an "adult". ”

Gao Fuli shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "The slave is the minister of peace in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of you, the general, the slave is still the little profit of the year, and it has not changed at all." ”

Counting it, they have known each other for decades, and they can be regarded as old acquaintances.

Gao Fuli didn't dare to delay the business, and took a few pairs of heavy medicine for two days in a row, which finally made the pain of wind and cold fade a lot.

When he was cured, he began to plan for peace.

Tu Du was suspicious and cunning by nature, and when he saw the peace document of the imperial court, he not only did not believe it, but also provoked it.

He instructed his subordinates to kill all the Beiyan soldiers captured before, and then hang them on high hanging poles to show off like trophies.

Chu Jingchuan saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, but he couldn't send troops.

Gao Fuli stood side by side with him on the high moat, looked at the corpse gently swaying in the wind in the distance, frowned slightly, and said, "This Tudu is really arrogant." ”

"He's not just arrogant, he's moody." Chu Jingchuan sighed.

To be honest, he was really worried that this negotiation might not work out.

"You have to be careful." Chu Jingchuan pondered for a moment before he said. "Even if Tu Du agrees to negotiate peace and asks you to come over to negotiate, it will be a Hongmen banquet."

Gao Fuli smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The slave understands." ”

Chu Jingchuan said again: "When necessary, I will accompany you." ”

Gao Fuli was taken aback, and then shook his head: "No!" With the general here, Tudu will be jealous. A slave is cheap, how can he bother the general to protect. ”

Chu Jingchuan glanced at him and sighed speechlessly.

If it didn't work once, Gao Welfare sent someone to send a peace letter again. However, Tu Du still ignored it, and even killed the messenger who delivered the letter.

He had the head of the servant cut off, put it in a box, and bring it back.

Seeing this, Gao Welfare gradually felt annoyed in his heart.

He hasn't given up yet, though. He was ready to take the plunge and go for himself.

Others naturally objected, and Chu Jingchuan bore the brunt of the first.

Gao Fuli said calmly: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of insulting my mother's trust in me." ”

If he was afraid, he would not have agreed to come here in the morning.

…

Accompanied by the bitter cold wind, Gao Fuli stepped out of the city gate alone.

There was only one person behind him, and that person was a guard with a knife, and he was also a dead soldier trained by Chu Jingchuan.

There are three fierce generals under the command of Tudu, Tai Mu Tu, Qiu Ran, and Guan Changlong.

Tudu became a khan at a young age, and the young monarch was ambitious, which was in line with their blood.

"Khan, the first snow will soon fall. Let's hurry up and fight quickly. Taimutu took advantage of the gap between drinking and eating meat, and looked at the Khan Dao.

Fighting in winter is the most painful, time-consuming, laborious, and laborious.

When Tu Du heard this, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, and raised his thick eyebrows lightly: "Don't worry, I will continue to frustrate the spirit of the Northern Yan Emperor!" ”

He was obviously the son of the Turks, but he turned out to be the first to be the first to be a part of the Central Plains. Since he wants to be the emperor of the Central Plains, then he Tudu will be the emperor of their Northern Yan Kingdom!

The banquet was in full swing, and someone suddenly came to report it outside the tent.

"Khan, the Northern Yan envoy went to see the Khan outside the camp."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

This is already the third time. They really don't know how to give up......

Tu Du smiled when he heard this, and raised his voice: "Let him in." ”

Gao Fu stood outside the camp, his heart uneasy.

Maybe if you go one step further, you will be in the abyss.

The sturdy guards escorted him outside the main tent and almost broke his arm.

Gao Fuli cleared his throat, straightened his back, and walked in without humility or arrogance.

Who knows, after he walked in, he was kicked directly to the ground.

The guards behind him tried to protect him, but Taimutu broke his neck and died on the spot.

Such a fierce and barbaric act made Gao Fu's heart tremble.

Gao Fuli slowly raised his eyes and saw that behind a group of strong warriors, there was a young and handsome man of different races.

He sat on a tiger skin chair, dressed in a black coat, but his chest was open, revealing his strong angular muscles.

Those dark brown eyes look exactly like the emperor.

Sure enough, bloodlines can't deceive people.

Tu Du narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him carefully, and suddenly laughed.

Someone next to him was the first to speak: "Looking at his appearance, it seems to be an official." ”

Tu Du stared at him again and again, and asked, "Are you the dog official of Beiyan?" ”

Gao Fuli looked at the sturdy men who came around, and felt that he was like a lamb that had fallen into a wolf pack, and he would die in the blink of an eye.

Those pairs of eyes were full of fierce killing intent.

Gao Fuli took a deep breath and calmed down: "Minister Gao Fuli meets Lord Khan. Weichen was an envoy who came to negotiate with the Great Khan in the name of the Northern Yan Emperor. This is under the official seal ......"

In order to prove his identity, he presented the official seal with both hands.

Someone took it and checked it before presenting it to Tu Du.

Tu Du took it in his hand and looked at it, he recognized Chinese characters. Sure enough, it's an official.

Tu Du threw the official seal and threw it directly at his feet.

Gao Fu's eyes flashed slightly, that was the official seal he cherished the most. He bought it with his life.

He put the official seal back away, and then said respectfully: "Great Khan, you must have read the book of peace and ......."

Before he could finish his words, Tu Du raised his hand to interrupt, he stood up and walked towards him.

His tall and big figure, like a wall, pressed in front of Gao Fu's eyes, gloomy and gloomy, making people breathless.

Tu Du raised his hand and pulled out the saber on his waist, pressed the sharp blade against the door of Gao Fu's face, and said in a deep voice: "Your emperor is so insincere, he actually sent someone like you to beg for mercy!" This is a joke of people! ”
