Chapter 42: Wind and Rain

In China, a bloody storm is about to begin.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he replaced all the eunuchs and palace maids, and Changsun Hong took the opportunity to install a few newcomers in it. The little eunuch was clever and clever, and successfully obtained the blood letter of the Emperor Taishang and handed it over to the eldest grandson's mansion.

Xiao Jun exchanged many letters with Taifu, informing him that he had gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses from Zhenxi and Zhendong and rushed to Kyoto to capture the thief and rescue him.

That night, the Yanshou Pavilion where the Emperor Taishang was located suddenly burst into flames, and everyone rushed to extinguish the fire, and the current Queen Mother of Concubine Wen rushed to Zhaoyang Palace.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?"

"Rui'er, how did Yanshou Pavilion go out of the water?"

"When this fire is extinguished, I'll let people take a closer look."

"Rui'er, in my opinion, don't die."

"What does the queen mean?"

"Isn't it an opportunity for the Emperor Taishang to die in an accident?"

The mother and son looked at each other and stopped talking.

The fire burned for two hours, and finally it faded away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good." The personal eunuch Hu Gonggong shouted outside the hall.

"What are you shouting, panicking." The Emperor sat up in his cloak and said, "Come in." ”

Gonggong Hu knelt down and crawled to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun has entered the imperial city with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he has already arrived outside the palace gate." ”

"What?" The emperor just stood up and sat back on the bed, "Emperor Taishang, bring Emperor Taishang over, and Yan Moru." ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Yanshou Pavilion went to the water, and the Emperor Taishang was burned to death inside. Mrs. Xiao is also missing, the slave just asked the little eunuch, Mrs. Xiao is missing. Father-in-law Hu knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Missing?" The emperor immediately came back to his senses, "Then what reason does Xiao Jun have to enter the palace, he is plotting rebellion!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Praetorian Guards won't last long, so you might as well escape."

"Joke, I escaped, then what else am I going to be an emperor!" The Emperor stood up again, "I'd like to see what he does!" Change my clothes and go to Zhaoyang Palace! ”

The emperor hurried all the way to the Zhaoyang Palace, and the empress dowager was already waiting for him.

"Rui'er." The Queen Mother greeted her in a panic.

"Queen Mother, don't worry." The emperor hurriedly hugged his mother, "We are waiting for him here!" ”

The emperor's composure made the empress dowager calm again. The mother and son sat in the Zhaoyang Palace, listening to the sound of the fight outside gradually becoming clear, and the palace maid and eunuch outside the door came with a miserable scream, and with a bang, the door of the Zhaoyang Hall was kicked open, Xiao Yongyan took the lead in breaking in with a sharp sword in his hand, and a large number of soldiers wearing silver-white armor and a red stripe tied to his right arm quickly poured in behind him.

The Emperor raised his head high, he was waiting for the familiar figure. Xiao Jun was dressed in the armor of a general and walked in, as majestic as every time he went on an expedition.

"As I expected, you're not dead." When the emperor saw Xiao Jun, he hated that he had lost the handle in his hand.

"Thanks to God's grace, I will not die in great distress so that I can come back to capture the thief and save him."

"Huh, thief? I was enthroned by the Emperor Taishang, and my name is justified! ”

"Whether the name is justified or not, you know it in your own heart."

"Bold, you Xiao Jun, leading troops to break into Kyoto without authorization, this is a capital crime." The Empress Dowager pointed at Xiao Jun and scolded angrily.

"Whether it is a capital crime or not, I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide." Xiao Yongyan sneered, "You, the queen mother, I'm afraid you have done it today." ”

The Queen Mother trembled with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

"See what this is?" Xiao Yongyan threw the emperor a strip of blood-stained cloth.

The emperor secretly screamed in his heart, picked up the strip of cloth and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a cloth edict, "How is it possible?" This is fake, forging the edict of the first emperor should be punished. ”

The emperor is still in his last dying throes.

"I'm afraid it's not the first emperor yet, the emperor is still alive, and he didn't burn to death in Yanshou Pavilion."

Xiao Jun's words dashed the emperor's last hope, and he fell to the ground. "Win the king and lose the king, and the king loses the king."
