Life is like chess, and there are no regrets.

Today's Imperial City Dazhen Hall is different from the past, and the momentum of decline is getting worse and worse.

Even less than half of the courtiers knelt down and bowed their heads, and the vacant positions were either imprisoned by death, made prisoners of that rank, or were stripped of their official bodies for making insulting remarks to the king, and were imprisoned in their own homes.

At this moment, the courtiers who stayed in the main hall, except for those who were afraid of the emperor's flattery, were mostly gamblers or people with evil intentions.

The former tends to be inflammatory, and the latter is sold at a price.

Empress Su, who abolished the emperor and stood on her own, leaned lazily on the dragon chair with one hand on her cheeks.

It seems that in the face of the front-line military situation that was transmitted to the main hall before, he seemed to be uninterested.

Immediately, an official who had just been promoted to the rank of squire in the military department walked out of the crowd.

His name is Zhang Quanling, he knelt on the ground with a knot, and his words sounded.

"Your Majesty, now that Jinzhou is in an emergency, Xu will be attacked by that traitor in less than three days, it is undoubtedly cold for Xijing, and I hope that Your Majesty will let General Chu go to the aid of Jinzhou!"

Su Qi ignored the courtiers below the ninth order, and just raised his eyes to look at the chessboard not far from his side.

She said loudly: "Shen Wei, rush..."

As soon as these words came out, a prince-in-law in a vermilion robe picked up a sunspot from the corner of the chessboard and put it on the chessboard.

After the fall was completed, the father-in-law turned to look at Su Qi, and his expression was extremely respectful.

This move made the courtiers present a little silent, and no one dared to step forward to speak for the official who worshipped the squire of the military department, Lord Zhang.

The three former fathers-in-law appointed by the former emperor are now gone, and the one standing in front of everyone at this moment is the last one left.

In the past, there were Zhu Gaojiu and Li Chengjun who died in Mingzhi, and now this Lu Gong is more loyal and good than the previous two.

It is said that the three of them are the most loyal and virtuous eunuchs in power since the founding of Yanyang, but now they have all defected to Queen Su, who abolished the emperor and stood on her own, which is really incomprehensible.

In the face of the current emperor's ignorance, the soldier still knelt on the ground, as if he was going to ask for death.

After Su Qi glanced at it obliquely, he continued to speak in the direction where Lu Gongzhi was.

"Noon, long..."

Although Lu Gong immediately went around to the other end of the chessboard, he twisted a white piece from the white chess box and landed it on the chessboard again.

Such a response made Zhang Quanling's whole body tremble gradually, he clenched the talisman in his hand, and finally mustered up the courage to look up at the king above the ninth order.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send troops to aid Jinzhou!"

Su Qi sighed when he heard the news and looked at him impatiently.

"I also hope that you Aiqing understand that as long as the night ride moves, Xijing will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, and now that there is still a breath left in Jinzhou, it is bound to be able to stop it for a while..."

"That Xiao Baoli's wolf ambition will definitely speed up the progress of the siege, please think twice!"

"The Dark Night Rider must stay in Xijing, and there is no need to discuss this matter..."

"Then please ask Your Majesty for permission, and the courtiers will lead the troops to aid Jinzhou alone!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the entire Dazhen Hall looked at the back of the soldier with an incredible look.

You must know that the courtiers who can still stay in the main hall to discuss matters, where are there any loyal and righteous people, they are all people who are afraid of Su Qi.

When the country is ruined and the family is dying, who is going to show who else is going to die generously?

Su Ji was silent for a long time, and finally just said with an indifferent expression.

"Since Lord Zhang has this heart, he will lead the troops to help..."

Zhang Quanling hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and the runes in his hands were a little unstable.

"The subordinate will lead the troops south later, and he will definitely expel the rebels completely and keep Jinzhou safe!"

Several officials not far behind him looked at each other, and they all saw some clues between them, and they began to make eye contact.

[Lord Zhang doesn't want to take this opportunity to escape from Xijing, right? ] It's nothing to do... It's either a traitor or a thief...]

[Our Lord Zhang, who was finally promoted to the head of the military department, now that the situation is not clear, he is in such a hurry to escape... Are you not afraid of being settled by Your Majesty? 】

[Everyone has their own ambitions, why should my generation worry too much? After a Master Zhang, there will naturally be Lord Li and Lord Wang to fill the position, maybe between you and me, there are still people who can be promoted to the next level! 】

[Then congratulations to all of you in advance!] 】

Just when a group of civil ministers and military generals looked at each other, Su Qi spoke again.

"By the way, before Lord Zhang leads the troops out of the city, you might as well bring your wife and children with you, so as not to worry about it in your heart, which will make the war unfavorable in the future..."

The soldier who couldn't stand on his knees opened his mouth to thank him again.

But after she finished speaking, the whole person was stunned on the spot, and looked at Su Qi above the ninth order in a trance.

A mocking expression appeared on the latter's face, as if he was ridiculing Zhang Quanling's actions at the Great Zhen Hall today.

Zhang Quanling said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is too worried... The wife and children of the subordinate family can stay in Xijing, and there is no need to bring them to his side, and the subordinate must do his best to stabilize the situation in Jinzhou as soon as possible..."

But before Zhang Quanling finished speaking, Su Qi clapped his hands and signaled.

Although Lu Gong, who had been speechless, took out three wooden boxes from the curtain behind the chessboard, and coincidentally, the wooden boxes were just as big as the adult's head.

Su Qi opened his mouth and spoke: "In order to avoid delaying the timing of Lord Zhang's troops, I have already ordered someone to send Lord Zhang's family here..."

Zhang Quanling looked at the three wooden boxes in disbelief, the others couldn't see what was in them in a short period of time, but he was the closest, through the smell of blood, coupled with Su Qi's words, he couldn't think of it!

Although Lu Gong placed the wooden box in front of Zhang Quanling, and was about to push one of the wooden boxes open, Zhang Quanling immediately raised his hand to stop the father-in-law in front of him.

Zhang Quanling said gloomily: "The first emperor is wise, Your Majesty is benevolent, it is the luck of the hot sun... The subordinate immediately led his troops south to aid Jinzhou, and he had no two hearts..."

Su Ji snorted and said indifferently: "Now that you wake up, it's too late, what kind of face do treacherous people have to atone for their sins?" ”

The conversation between the two made some of the officials at the bottom of the Dazhen Hall a little incomprehensible, but the officials standing at the front could see and hear clearly, and they were terrified when they smelled it.

Their Emperor His Majesty actually beheaded Zhang Quanling's wife and children early and placed them in the wooden box!

What is the reason for this move?

Soon Su Ji took the initiative to speak and explain to everyone present.

"Presumably, Xiao Bao has some old knowledge in the court, under his coercion and temptation, you will inevitably be shaken in your hearts, today's Lord Zhang is just the beginning, and I hope that those who are undecided will make a decision as soon as possible, don't let me wait too long..."

As Su Qi's words were finished, the entire Great Zhen Hall seemed to explode, although no one said anything, but the frightened look on everyone's faces, as well as the constantly changing eyes that glanced around, all indicated that their hearts were shocked.

[Zhang Quanling actually secretly colluded with that Xiao Baoli?! 】

[So today's move by this person may be to cooperate with Xiao Baoli and win Jinzhou together! ] 】

[Fortunately, Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, if you hadn't seen through Zhang Quanling early, the situation would only be more chaotic in the future...]

At this moment, Lord Zhang, the squire of the military department, already had a dead expression, and he wanted to reach out to touch the wooden box, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach the wooden box in front of him, let alone hold it in front of him.

Zhang Quanling glanced down at his arms, his two arms hung on the ground extremely uncompetitively, he had exhausted all his strength, but the panic and fear in his heart still made him unable to raise his arms.

In this way, Zhang Quanling had to squirm and crawl forward, pushing forward little by little, as close as possible to the wooden box.

Everyone present looked at the scene in front of them and sighed secretly.

Famous people have already been imprisoned, and even more have died violently in the prison, and finally left a few lines of quatrains to warn future generations.

And Zhang Quanling, who is kneeling unevenly at the moment, obviously does not have such a celebrity and heroic character, and has even become a traitor seeking glory.

Will such a person be grief-stricken because of the tragic death of his wife and children at home?

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Quanling finally approached the wooden box, and just when everyone thought he would cry loudly, the soldier didn't know the strength that came out of it, and raised his hand to push the wooden box out.

He shouted as hard as he could: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have Xiao Baoli's troops deployed... Extremely detailed... Please also ask Your Majesty to give your subordinates a chance to atone for their sins! ”

"Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people, Quan Ling must still be useful, as long as he can save a life, Quan Ling will definitely die in the future!"

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang Quanling was still looking for something in his heart, but Su Qi didn't even have the patience to listen.

The latter raised his hand and waved, although Lu Gong picked up a wooden box and walked towards Zhang Quanling.

Without waiting for the squire of the military department to react, the father-in-law of the imperial front, who was holding the wooden box in one hand, opened the wooden box and placed it in front of him.

What caught Zhang Quanling's eyes was a head wrapped in lime, but he could still see that the head in front of him was the head of the eldest son in his family.

Lu Gong said in a low voice: "Lord Zhang, please..."

Zhang Quanling's eyes widened suddenly, he looked up at the top of the ninth order, and then raised his hand to Su Qi.

"Su Qi! You thief... It's not going to be a good death! ”

"Even if I, Zhang Quanling, die today, it won't help... But there will be more people raising the flag against you in the future! ”

"Su Qi! What qualifications do you have for a female streamer... Woo..."

Before Zhang Quanling could finish the words, although Lu Gong had already cut off his head with a hand knife, he still fell into the wooden box that was not spacious.

Although Lu Gong held the wooden box containing the two heads high, he turned to look at the officials who did not dare to speak.

He said slowly: "Your Majesty is benevolent, even if Lord Zhang has already rebelled, he still let him return with his wife and children, and I hope that your Excellency will not let Your Majesty down!" ”

Su Qi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, slowly exhaled.

"Ye bit, jump..."

Although Lu Gong casually put down the wooden box, he returned to the side of the chessboard again, and obeyed Su Qi's arrangement.
