When the Empress Dowager heard the news of Chang Zhiyi's death, she half-raised her head and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, he opened it again, glanced at Yuehua up and down, and sneered: "Okay!" You really haven't lost your memory, you're all acting with the mourners. The mourning family really taught a white-eyed wolf! Have you forgotten that you yourself are the daughter of the Chang family? ”

"No, my surname is Chu, I am the daughter of Chu Lingchuan, and since the day you forced my mother to death, I have nothing to do with the Chang family anymore. When Chang Zhi volunteers surrounded the maple forest, intending to kill me and kill Xiang Shen Chujiu, there was only a residual hatred between us. When you were vying for power, you destroyed your conscience and abandoned your family affection, but now you want to use her to bind me? I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and today is the time for us to settle things out. ”

Yuehua hated it in her heart, she thought that she should have said this through gritted teeth, but when the words came out, she was extremely calm, and the wind was light, as if she was telling someone else's affairs.

The Empress Dowager slowly turned around, and the dragon head crutch in her hand slammed heavily on the ground, sonorous and powerful.

"Liquidation? Just by the two of you? Do you think that if you can get rid of Chang Zhiyi and enter the Forbidden City, you will have the capital to confront the mourning family? You have forgotten that the soldiers and horses that Chang Zhiyi led to escort you to the enclosure were just one out of three, and the men and horses who intercepted and killed you halfway were just private soldiers trained in secret. More soldiers and horses are still in the capital, in the hands of the mourning family. The mourners only need to raise their arms and shout, and King Hao will lead his troops to attack the Forbidden City and replace it. ”

"The imperial grandmother probably forgot that Chu Mubai's tens of thousands of Taiping troops only used 3,000 elite divisions, and the rest of them all stayed in the capital, which was enough to compete with Chang Zhiyi's soldiers and horses." Mo Guhan said indifferently.

"The Taiping army has no leader, and now it is already under the control of King Hao, Your Majesty, you are too proud."

"Imperial grandmother, do you think that with King Hao, you can fight King Chen and control the Taiping Army?"

"King Chen?" The Empress Dowager turned around suddenly, her face full of disbelief: "You handed over the military power to King Chen? King Chen is on the same page as you, how can he be willing to obey your command? The emperor is not afraid of the former wolf and the tiger? ”

"We are brothers."

Mo Guhan's thin lips opened lightly, and he only spat out a few words.

"Brother?" The Empress Dowager looked up to the sky and laughed: "The emperor's family has always been fried by the same root, and there are siblings? ”

Mo Guhan shook his head: "Fight tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son." When we have a common enemy, we will naturally work together and unite with the outside world. For the sake of the ancestral inheritance, for the sake of our Mo family, why not? ”

"What a risky move the emperor took! Aren't you afraid to give up the country to others? Have you forgotten that you have taken the throne of King Chen, and King Chen has always been suspicious of you and eyeing you? Even if he has a dislike for you, can you be sure that he is loyal to you? ”

"The fact that I can quietly enter the Forbidden City today is already the best proof to King Chen."

"Hehe, the mourning family knows that the two of you have been moving closely recently, but I really didn't expect that the emperor would have such courage. I didn't expect that King Chen would be willing to die for you. ”

"What if I told my grandmother that I was the heir to the throne chosen by the Emperor? Will King Chen abandon his previous suspicions and work hard for me? ”

The Empress Dowager seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and after being shocked, she looked up to the sky and smiled: "How is the emperor's memory so bad?" Back then, the first emperor originally wanted to pass on the throne of King Chen, and it was the mourning family who assisted you to ascend the throne of the emperor, and assisted you for so many years, reducing the power of King Chen, quelling the rebellion, and supporting the sky of Chang'an! ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "Actually, this is also the place where I have always been grateful to the emperor's grandmother, if it weren't for the fact that the Chang family has been too domineering and evil in these years, so that the government and the opposition have complained, the emperor's grandmother can be called a heroic heroine with high achievements." It's just a pity that you have sacrificed too many people's lives for the sake of power, including my own grandmother, which is the most intolerable place for my father.

It's a pity that he worked hard for a long time, and he died before the grand plan was unfinished, and in the end he was unable to do it, and he was still taken away by your Chang family, and the entire court was controlled by you. And I am the last chess piece laid by my father. ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly narrowed her eyes: "You were instructed by your father to deliberately approach the mourning family?" ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "My father not only let me get close to please you, but also asked me to be obscure, don't show my edge, otherwise, you will definitely not choose me to be this puppet emperor." ”

The Empress Dowager staggered back a few steps, still a little incredulous: "At that time, you were just a stinky child. ”

"If it weren't for the child, how would the imperial grandmother let down her guard and give up King Hao to choose me?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head slowly, closed her faint eyes tightly, she was unwilling to be seen by others The panic and regret in her eyes, she had to hide it.

"The mourning family admits that there are countless readers, and they are shrewd, and they have always seen people well. Unexpectedly, he lost to a child of a few years old. ”

The corners of Mo Guhan's lips were slightly hooked, and he rarely showed a proud look: "Sun Er admits that Sun Er can not have today without the careful teaching of the imperial grandmother for several years, and Gu Han Ming feels from the bottom of his heart." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Mo Guhan, and suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more strange, thinking that she knew him well, but now, she couldn't understand him at all, didn't know his depth, and couldn't fathom his thoughts.

He has been acting with her for so many years, and she has always thought that he is a puppet in her hands, controlled in the palm of her hand. In fact, he is the clown on the stage, he has always seen everything coldly, and he is confident.

No wonder, he was able to control half of the court in a short period of time, and so many old ministers were loyal to him.

Then, it is not impossible for King Chen to bow down and obey him.

King Hao, it's just the wine bag and rice bag she chose, how can it be compared to King Chen?

Lost, really lost, a mess.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the Luohan couch behind her in a dejected manner, and the crutches in her hand slid to the ground with a "snap".

A leisurely sigh, containing a lot of ups and downs and depression, came out of her chest, one by one, as if her momentum had also dissipated. The whole person was slack, so her face full of furrows became more and more saggy, wrinkled, and overlapped.

With trembling hands, she took out a gorse hairpin from her bosom with determination in her eyes.

"Mourning family, how about exchanging your mother's life for your withdrawal from the Forbidden City?"

This is her last hole card, as the high-ranking queen mother, she doesn't want to use such despicable means, but at this time, she is helpless.

Mo Guhan sneered: "The entire Chang'an can be under my control, will only the Forbidden City be missed?" Are you sure that my mother is now under your control? ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head slowly: "This Forbidden City, the Mourning family has been operating painstakingly for decades, and the Mourning family knows every corner of it. You can win the whole of Chang'an, but you may not be able to control the Forbidden City. You will not know where your mother is held. ”

"Grandmother Huang can give it a try."

Seeing his words, the Empress Dowager was full of confidence, and called out suspiciously: "Mama Lin!" ”

Mama Lin responded, lowering her head.

"Order, cut off a lock of the queen mother's hair and send it to the emperor." The Empress Dowager commanded in a deep voice.

Mama Lin stood still, like a wood plastic.

"Go!" The Empress Dowager urged impatiently.

Mama Lin still didn't move: "Back to the Queen Mother, I just got the news that the Queen Mother has disappeared and was rescued." ”

"Impossible!"

The Empress Dowager slapped the kang table next to her and got up angrily: "What about them? Are our people all waste? ”

Mama Lin was silent.

Mo Guhan snorted coldly: "If you don't threaten my mother, I may still respect you as the queen mother, so that you can live in peace and happiness in your old age, and you will still be glorious and rich." Now, I also ask the imperial grandmother to stay in Ci'an Palace in the future, and don't step out of this palace again! ”

How can this be?

The Empress Dowager screamed: "You dare to put the mourning family under house arrest? ”

Mo Gu glanced at her coldly, and slowly turned around: "In the world, there is nothing I dare not do." Because, I am the emperor of Chang'an, from today on, I will lead the shore of the land, it is not the king's land, and the soldiers of the land will not be the king's ministers. ”

At that glance, the Empress Dowager felt like she was poured a bucket of ice water, and she shivered.

She tried to make a final struggle: "If you dare to put the mourner under house arrest, you will be pointed at by thousands of people and scolded by the world." The ministers of the DPRK and China will not let you do whatever you want. ”

Mo Gu didn't look back: "I did many things that I didn't dare to do in your opinion." ”

These words implied Mo Guhan's domineering spirit as an emperor, and he endured it for a long time, and finally raised his eyebrows today.

Yuehua followed behind him, empathizing, and slowly turned around, holding her head high.

"Chu Yuehua!"

The Empress Dowager stopped her abruptly behind her.

A smack at her feet.

"Tell the mourners, why? No matter how powerful King Chen is, he can fight against King Hao and tens of thousands of troops, and his hand can't reach into this Forbidden City. ”

Yuehua snorted coldly from the end of her nose and turned her face: "You think you've been in this Forbidden City for a lifetime, but there is one person who stays longer than you." ”

The Empress Dowager was puzzled, and thought for a moment: "You mean her?" No way! ”

"A lot of things happened that you thought were impossible." Yuehua sneered coldly: "In the past few decades, she has never slackened off, she has been planning hard, and only she has the ability to compete with you in the Forbidden City." ”

The Empress Dowager reached out and covered her head, her head was not only chaotic, but also began to hurt heartbreakingly, as if it was about to explode. The pain was so painful that she couldn't think anymore. At that moment, her only thought was that Mo Guhan and Yuehua were both people she had cultivated, how could she lose in their hands?

The door of the hall closed heavily, isolating the backs of Mo Guhan and Yuehua from the main hall.

Yuehua commanded in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Shouxi, please send someone to guard it here." ”

Shou Xi respectfully should be.

"What about the Queen Mother?"

"The old slave has personally escorted her back to the Ruian Palace safe and sound."

"There is Lao Shouxi's father-in-law."

At that moment, the Empress Dowager's head was split alive, and a cool breeze came in along the cracks in the bones, making it more and more heartbreaking.
