Chapter 13: The Prince's Rebellion
When I saw the Queen Mother, I immediately ran over and grabbed her arm, "Old woman, I'm scared ......."
The Queen Mother immediately picked up the knife of the person next to her and held me hostage, facing Gu Cheng, "Hand over the talisman, otherwise the mourning family will let her die twice."
Gu Cheng frowned, his eyes staring sharply at the Queen Mother, but the hand holding the sword was obviously hesitant.
The Queen Mother noticed this reaction and laughed angrily, "Hmph, sure enough, you are just like my disobedient son, you are a useless infatuation."
I took advantage of the Queen Mother's distraction to snatch the knife from the Queen Mother's hand and put it on her neck.
Turning around, he shouted to the Queen Mother's people, "Don't move, or I'll kill her now."
As he spoke, he cut a slender cut on the Queen Mother's neck.
"My noble Queen Mother, that's what it's called hijacking."
"You've been lying to the mourners, you've been lying to the mourners, okay, yes, yes, hahaha......
"I don't want to, who made you proud of your dignity and never take me a dirty wild girl in your eyes?"
With a "boom", a bright red signal crossed the sky.
That was the signal of Zhao Rongyu and Duanwang, they had already controlled the prime minister.
When Gu Cheng saw the signal, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Arrest these rebels and thieves, and don't let any of them go."
A month ago, Gu Jue said to me that Gu Cheng likes to carry everything alone.
I couldn't feel that although he had tried his best to spend time with me these days, I could see the worry and exhaustion in his expression.
I forced Gu Cheng to say everything.
In fact, King Duan did not die back then, but was dormant on the border, cultivating his own army for His Majesty and the crown prince.
A year ago, there were often foreign incursions on the border, burning, looting, and mutilating the people, but the sergeants stationed on the border ignored this and did not report it to the court.
King Duan secretly cultivated an army, and could not easily send troops, so he wrote a letter to inform His Majesty, His Majesty was very sad in his heart after learning about this, on the one hand, the people who were in dire straits, on the other hand, he was to regain the power of the court, and return the world to a piece of Haiyan River.
After Zhao Rongyu learned about this from the Taifu, he took the initiative to ask for orders to go to the frontier.
His Majesty and Taifu thought about it again and again, and decided to give Zhao Rongyu and the prince a marriage, and on the day of the wedding, Zhao Rongyu took advantage of the chaos to avoid Lin Xiang's surveillance and went to the frontier with the holy decree to quell the rebellion of foreign tribes.
Three months later, the foreign rebellion subsided, and Zhao Rongyu also gained a firm foothold in the army.
After the death of King Duan, the frontier warriors were leaderless, most of them had been fighting against the enemy country for many years, and their hearts were savage, and the people of Lin Xiang couldn't control these wild horses at all, so they simply left it alone.
With the secret help of King Duan, Zhao Rongyu spent more than half a year to convince those rough and unruly soldiers, and became General Zhao Xiao, whom everyone in the army respected.
And King Duan also persuaded the King of Yunnan to send troops during this time, so far, it is foolproof to send troops to the Queen Mother and Lin Xiang.
Just when Gu Cheng and the others wanted to close the net, a plague broke out in the south, and there was a natural disaster, and almost the entire southern border was covered with corpses, and the king of Yunnan was too busy to take care of himself.
None of the officials sent by the DPRK and China returned, and all of them were supporters of the crown prince.
"I thought that Lin Xiang and the Queen Mother were just greedy for power, but I didn't expect that they would be so reckless about human life in order to win, and if they don't do it again, I am afraid that this great river and mountain will be destroyed in their hands."
Gu Cheng's face was hidden behind the candle flame, and his tone revealed a strong hatred.
I gently covered his clenched hand, "Gu Cheng, I may have a way to do the plague in the south."
A normal plague, even if it is very dangerous, can be controlled as long as the means are ruthless.
But the officials sent this time all died there, which shows that this plague is not only man-made, but also very likely to be poisoned.
