Chapter 464: Facing Frontal Battles
Xiao Xinrong's men didn't understand why they stopped moving forward instead of going directly to the capital at this time.
Only Xiao Xinrong knew in his heart that he was waiting for a time to convince himself.
The army was raised because the princess and the two children were threatened, but after the battle, seeing that the throne was close at hand, Xiao Xinrong hesitated, Xiao Yingyi's throne was passed down by his father himself, and now he wants to overthrow the throne, sorry for the deceased father.
What's more, there is still a queen mother in the palace, even if the queen mother is unkind, she is also her own biological mother, can you really see each other in battle?
Xiao Xinrong didn't make up his mind, some of the soldiers behind him muttered in their hearts but no one explained, only Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but want to ask, but was stopped by Xiahouzhong.
Wait! Xia Houzhong only said one word to his son, wait, wait until when, Xia Houxuan was at a loss in his heart.
But he really didn't let him wait long, and news came from the border pass that the Tatars led an army of 100,000 to attack!
At this time, even if the imperial court wanted to send troops, it was powerless, and on the day Xiao Xinrong got the news, he led his soldiers to step into the capital in one fell swoop.
Everywhere I went, there was no obstacle, until I arrived in the palace, only to learn that Emperor Jingyuan was in the imperial study, and the queen mother learned of Emperor Jingyuan's death, and also died in the palace, the queen and a group of concubines, Xiao Xinrong was not much troubled, and these people were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
When these things are over, Xiao Xinrong will have the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother.
The mother and son sat opposite each other, and the empress dowager looked at the son she gave birth to and felt extremely strange: "The second child is really capable, the throne is in your hands, I don't know what the emperor is going to do with the queen mother?"
Xiao Xinrong didn't speak, just quietly looked at the lady in front of her, the Empress Dowager's makeup was still as delicate as before, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes couldn't be covered.
"Why didn't the emperor think about what to do with the queen mother?" the queen mother seemed to mutter: "Yes, you will ascend to the throne next, if you are not good, you will be charged with mutilating your siblings and persecuting the queen mother, but it's a pity that you can't escape the title of a traitor if you do it well." ”
"Is the queen mother afraid?" Xiao Xinrong's words made the queen mother's words come to an abrupt end.
A feeling of defeat appeared in the Empress Dowager's heart: "Do you dare to kill your own mother?" the Empress Dowager hissed and shouted with all her might.
"The queen mother is tired, rest, don't leave this palace gate if you don't have anything to do in the future. ”
This is to trap the Empress Dowager in, this is already the best ending, and the Empress Dowager has no choice but to see him leave.
Xiahou Shuang also came to the capital with her two children, and lived in the palace that had already been repaired.
Xiahou Shuang also sighed in his heart, but after a few years out of the capital, it seemed that half of his life had passed, Xiahou Shuang and his father went to pay tribute to the old lady, and the old lady was buried in the capital after her death, according to the meaning of Xiahou, and when the matter came to an end, the mother's ashes were sent back to her hometown to be buried with her father.
Xiahou Xuan, who went to Xiangwang's mansion, learned that Mingyue was now in Jiangnan, and he couldn't wait to go to pick people back, but the border war broke out again, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stay in the capital for a few days, so I had to endure my thoughts and give Mingyue a letter to inform me that everything was safe and let her take care.
Xiao Xinrong breathed a sigh of relief after Xiahou Shuang arrived in the capital, focusing on the affairs of the court, and handed over some of the harem to Xiahou Shuang.
Xiao Xinrong's identity after conquering the capital was already the emperor, but the husband and wife did not live in the palace, but still chose to live in the palace of Prince Alcohol.
When Xiahou Shuang came back from worshiping his grandmother, he had time to think of Chen Rui, and after summoning someone to ask, he learned that when the city was broken, Zhang Yanchong cut off Chen Rui's head, and Xiahou Shuang knew that Zhang Yanchong had always hated Chen Rui for forcing his father to death, but Chen Rui was so evil that it was really cheap for him to die.
With the fall of Chen Rui, the Chen family and the Han family who were attached to him were all imprisoned.
With the fall of Emperor Jingyuan, the Tang family was also arrested in the house, only because Wang Shuwan's younger brother made a contribution to the attack on Lin'an, Xiahou Xuan specially took care of it, so Wang Shuwan left Wang Shuwan alone in the mansion, Wang Shuwan learned that Wang Jing was rescued and became a guard under Xiahou Xuan, and she was grateful for the good of Xiahou Yifu, no matter what, she always left blood for the Wang family.
News of Tatars kept coming from the border passes, and without further ado, Xiao Xinrong ordered Xiahou Zhong to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to meet the battle.
Just after the end of the civil war, the treasury was empty, and the head of the household department did not dare to cry poor for Xiao Xinrong, so he had to find his own way, and he sighed and sighed.
As long as these things are not reported, Xiao Xinrong has no time to pay attention to them, what makes him angry is that the Tatars appeared so coincidentally, just happened to meet the end of the civil war and the Tatars came to invade, and after listening to the report of the spies in front, the tile spurs personally led the troops.
If this war was provoked by Fu Lin, Xiao Xinrong knew in his heart that someone in the palace must have sent a message to Fu Lin, this is an exchange of foreign enemies, and he is joking with the inheritance of his ancestors! I am really not afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages.
With the defeat of the Empress Dowager, Jingyang Palace became depressed, and the palace people became a little slack, so that Xiao Xinrong entered the palace before anyone noticed.
"What are you doing here, how can you trap the mourning family here?" said the Empress Dowager with her head raised and stared at her cloudy eyes.
"Mother, are you still in touch with Fulin?"
"Fulin is a child raised by the mourning family, hmph, I don't know how many times stronger than some conscientious things!"
Xiao Xinrong was not angry: "So, the border Tatar offense is the news sent by the queen mother?"
The Empress Dowager raised her head in shock, and did not deny that Xiao Xinrong hated it in her heart, and made fun of Jiangshan Sheji in order to compete with herself.
"Is it right for the queen mother to do this?"
"Ancestors and ancestors, hahaha......" The Empress Dowager raised her head and laughed: "If the ancestors have spirits, why don't you take away the evil obstacles of your disobedience and unfilial piety that forced you to die today!"
Looking at the mad Empress Dowager, Xiao Xinrong shook her head, it was in vain to continue talking, the queen mother wanted to destroy herself, and she didn't even care about the family business.
"The queen mother should rest here, and the sons will send someone to guard Jingyang Palace. ”
Xiao Xinrong finished speaking and strode out.
"You come back, you come back to me!" What is this, is it not allowed to leave the palace even half a step after being confined here? This ending is more uncomfortable than death for the competitive Empress Dowager.
On the same day, the news that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill reached Xiao Xinrong's ears, and Xiao Xinrong asked the imperial doctor to do his best to treat her, but she didn't let go of her mouth and let people come out.
Concubine Duan sent a letter to Xiahou Shuang, saying that she heard that the Empress Dowager was very sick and wanted to visit.
Because of King An, the master of the palace has changed, but Concubine Duan is still in the palace, and everyone avoids the Queen Mother for fear of causing trouble, and there is not much to move forward at this time, Xiao Xinrong was moved by Concubine Duan's friendship and agreed to Concubine Duan to go to Jingyang Palace to walk around.
