Chapter 63: The End

A new Zen room was placed in the Bohai Palace, and it is rumored that the Zen room enshrined the spiritual seat of Emperor Xiaozhuang, and Erzhu Ying'e would worship with Gao Cheng in a layman's uniform.

The news spread out of the Bohai Palace, and everyone praised King Xiaogao for having a big mind and being able to tolerate concubines and concubines thinking of their predecessors.

There was a fire in the meditation room, warm, after a busy day, Gao Cheng, who had just returned home, pillowed Er Zhu Ying'e's thighs, and the fragrance of Yuan Mingyue had long been absent from the silk clothes.

In front of Yuan Ziyou's spiritual seat, Gao Cheng said guiltily:

"If the female layman thinks that I have despised you, don't force it anymore."

"Gao Tanyue don't want to say this, the appearance of your sincere worship of the Buddha is also liked by the poor nun."

Erzhu Ying'e rubbed Gao Cheng's young and immature face and said softly.

She was very grateful that Gao Cheng did not place Er Zhurong's spiritual seat, and as for Emperor Xiaozhuang, she wished that person could see her happy appearance.

Gao Cheng remembered that Er Zhu Ying'e had rarely gone out since she entered the house, and he was concerned:

"Do female laymen feel bored living in the house all day?"

Er Zhu Ying'e shook her head and refused:

"It's freezing outside, but it's still comfortable in the house."

"When the weather is warm, I will take the layman to Luoshui for a walk."

Gao Cheng was still afraid that she would get sick, so he proposed.

"Gao Tanyue didn't want to let the poor nun go out in this dress."

Gao Cheng looked at the translucent silk clothes and quickly shook his head:

"I'm going to change it."

"What idea does Gao Tanyue have again?"

Erzhu Ying'e asked.

Gao Cheng was hesitant to answer.

As a result, Erzhu Ying'e consciously switched an identity and asked:

"Aiqing is not recruited from the truth."

Gao Cheng hurriedly got up and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Xia Guan has been quite interested in Qihu costumes recently."

The affection is an interest in exoticism.

Erzhu Ying'e said in shame:

"I know that Aiqing doesn't have a good mind."

"Your Highness doesn't want to?"

"I also want Aiqing to prepare riding and archery clothes for me."

.......

On New Year's Day in the second year of Taichang (533), Li Yuanzhong, who was sent from Hebei to Luoyang to serve as Taichangqing, came to Jinyang to offer condolences on the order of the Son of Heaven.

In Jinyang City, Bohai Palace, Gao Huan led his family to set up a banquet to entertain Li Yuanzhong.

After Gao Huan asked his family members to meet Li Yuanzhong one by one, there were pregnant concubines Wang and Mu.

"Is Yuan Zhong okay in Luoyang?"

After the ceremony, Gao Huan condoled.

"It's not as good as back then, when I thought about Xindu Jianyi, it was vigorous and unhappy, but now it is idle, and only the son of the world often comes to visit."

Li Yuanzhong sighed.

Gao Huan laughed, pointed at Li Yuanzhong, and said to Lou Zhaojun, who was sitting beside him:

"He was the one who killed Erzhu Yusheng in the first place and forced me to raise an army against the Erzhu clan."

Lou Zhaojun raised the wine cup and saluted:

"Thank you, sir, for your determination to be the king."

Li Yuanzhong hurriedly got up and saluted, and then joked to Gao Huan:

"If the king refuses to allow me to serve in the middle of the ranks, I will go to find someone to raise an army."

"It's not difficult to find people who are willing to start the army, but it's hard to find someone like me who can do things."

Gao Huan was not dismayed and sighed.

Li Yuanzhong seemed to feel the same way, and echoed:

"It's just that there is no master who can accomplish things like a king, so I don't want to look for it again."

Gao Huan laughed when he heard this, and the two recalled the past, so happy.

During the banquet, in the Jinyang camp outside the city, under Gao Huan's military order, the soldiers returned to the camp one after another, which was the fifth time since Gao Huan entered Jinyang to gather the army in the name of conquest of Er Zhuzhao.

On the second day, Gao Huan came to the Jinyang camp, with Dou Tai leading the cavalry as the vanguard, and then led the army for the fifth time, and sent troops north to attack Xiurong Er Zhu Zhao for the fifth time.

The previous four half-way retreats completely paralyzed Er Zhu Zhao, and he never imagined that Gao Huan would raise troops when New Year's Day was approaching.

Because most of the generals along the way were bribed by Tingwang Si, Dou Tai was able to run 300 miles in one day and one night, and Er Zhuzhao hurriedly gathered the troops who were dismissed during the New Year's Day, but he did not get much, so he had to meet the battle in Chihongling.

It's a pity that morale was low, people's hearts were scattered, and they fled to the poor mountains in defeat, and Dou Tai chased after him.

Er Zhu Zhao rolled over from the white horse, panting, and the few remaining relatives were all embarrassed.

He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, but lowered his head but left two lines of tears.

"I swore an oath with He Liuhun to kill the white horse twice, Shanti, today you will kill another white horse for me."

Er Zhu Zhao was already tired, and he instructed the house slave Hou Mo Chen Shanti.

Hou Mo Chen Shan stabbed the white horse several times with his knife.

Er Zhuzhao stared at the white horse who fell to the ground and was dying, but he saw the scene of swearing with Gao Huan twice on the banks of Yangqu River and Zhangshui.

He Liuhun made a covenant today, willing to assist the king of Yingchuan with all his heart, if the covenant is violated, He Liuhun is willing to suffer the curse of heaven, and his descendants will be cut off! ’

'Erzhu Zhao is willing to share wealth with He Liuhun, against this oath, Erzhu Zhao is willing to die and be spurned for all generations! ’

The words of the past are still in my ears, but they have long been wrong.

Erzhu Zhao closed his eyes and shouted with his head held high:

"Bird!"

"The servant is here."

One of the few henchmen who did not contact Gao Huan, Zhang Liang, a native of Xihe County, replied.

"Lone is the king of Yingchuan County, you can't add a knife and axe, you and Shanti will hang me, and then go to He Liuhun, he will not embarrass you and wait."

"The king can't!"

The crowd knelt down to dissuade them.

"Now there is no way to go, I don't want to be humiliated by He Liuhun anymore, I think of the love of the master and servant for many years, please don't hesitate."

Er Zhu Zhao resolutely said that he wanted to keep the last dignity.

Zhang Liang and Hou Mo Chen Shanti held both ends of the rope and stood behind Er Zhu Zhao.

"The king, we will obey the king's orders, do the king still have something to explain?"

Zhang Liang asked in a trembling voice.

Er Zhu Zhao finally opened his eyes, he looked in the direction of Luoyang, and said:

"You tell He Liuhun that if you still have a trace of incense, don't harm my daughter's life."

"Servants obey the king's commands."

Zhang Liang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then got up and worked with Hou Mo Chen Shanti to wrap the rope around Er Zhuzhao's neck, and the two of them pulled hard.

Erzhu Zhaoqing's muscles bulged, his eyeballs bulged, his tongue sticked out, and he struggled instinctively.

Slowly, the struggle began to slow down, and the body twitched for a while, and finally there was no more movement.

Zhang Liang and Hou Mo Chen Shanti released the rope, and everyone was looking at him.

"Let's go and deliver the letter personally."

After saying this, Zhang Liang sat paralyzed on the ground, as if he had exhausted all his strength to strangle Er Zhu Zhao before.

Gao Huan learned that Er Zhu Zhao was dead, and ordered his cronies to go into the mountain to take a closer look, and after being confirmed, Gao Huan let the people descend the mountain to ensure safety, and then he led his guards and Zhang Liang over.

Looking at Er Zhuzhao's corpse and the white horse that was killed next to him, Gao Huan was silent for a long time.

Finally, he asked Zhang Liang:

"Does King Yingchuan have any last words?"

"The king has a saying, if King Gao remembers the love of incense in the past, please be kind to the king's daughter."

Zhang Liang replied truthfully.

"Got it......"

The goal of destroying the Erzhu clan was finally achieved, and Gao Huan stood on the top of the mountain, as if he felt a trace of emptiness.
