In the dusk, in the imperial study room of the imperial city.
Su Yao sat behind a desk. She read the memorial in her hand and leaned back subconsciously.
But when she turned around to look, what came into her eyes was the majestic face without any expression. Su Yao had no choice but to sit up straight again and continue to read the memorial on the desk.
Not long after, the imperial father-in-law, who was originally guarding the door, ran over quickly.
Su Yao said: "Eunuch Li, just speak frankly, there is no need to bow."
Father-in-law Li skipped the etiquette and quickly handed the cloth roll in his hand to the table, and then began to speak.
"After the court dismissed today, three people have gone to the Ministry of War to meet and conspire with the intention of starting an uprising... In order to prevent soldiers from mutiny in the city, will the empress transfer Wu Yeqi back to Xijing?"
Su Yao was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"These things are not important. What happened to the things I explained earlier?"
Li Eunuch said: "According to the recent news, the suppression of Hedong, Henan, and Shannan West Road has been completed, and General Chu's Wuye Cavalry has gone to Hebei... In less than half a month, the war in the north has stopped. !”
Su Yao responded: "As long as these rumors are spread into the city, those good people should think about it and understand!"
Eunuch Li looked embarrassed and whispered: "But your Majesty..."
Su Yao folded the memorial in his hand and looked coldly at the imperial father-in-law in front of him.
"Li Chengtuan, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Li Chengtuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and pressed his head firmly to the ground.
He shouted in a firm tone: "I am only concerned about the safety of your Majesty and your Majesty! Even if General Chu is looking at him from outside and is invincible, if there are still people inside the imperial city who want to persecute your Majesty and your Majesty, I will be the one to decide." It’s impossible to protect your Majesty and your Majesty!”
Su Yao could only sigh helplessly as he looked at the old man in front of him who risked his life to get the invitation.
In the past few years, too many people have died...
Just half an hour ago, Zhu Gaojiu also left. There were not many people left in this deep courtyard who could say a word of loyalty to her and him.
Li Chengtuan looked up and found that Su Yao was covering his forehead with his hands, with sweat breaking out on his cheeks.
He ignored the etiquette and hurriedly got up and ran towards a bookshelf in the house.
Li Chengtuan took out a bottle of pill pills from the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf, and then he immediately ran back to the desk and presented the pill pills to Su Yao.
Su Yao grabbed the pill, put it into his mouth, and then swallowed it immediately.
After a long time, she gradually calmed down. After her face improved, she once again returned to the bodhisattva appearance with jade face and red lips.
Su Yao murmured: "Let Dr. Wen increase the dosage in the future..."
Li Chengtuan was even more anxious when he saw Queen Su like this. He didn't respond and was about to kneel down and beg again.
Suddenly, Su Yao slapped his hand on the table, interrupting Li Chengtuan's subsequent actions.
Snapped!
The father-in-law surnamed Li quickly stood up straight again and suppressed all the thoughts of trying to persuade him in his heart.
Li Chengtuan said in a trembling voice: "I will inform Imperial Doctor Wen later..."
After Su Yao responded briefly, he casually said that he was tired, and then pushed Li Cheng out of the room.
In the end, only Su Yao and the emperor of the Xia family behind him were left in the entire imperial study.
He saw everything that had just happened, but there was no emotion on his face, let alone any emotion.
Su Yao looked at the tall figure behind her again. She seemed to have thousands of words ready to be spoken in her heart, but when it came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.
"In the early years, when you first sat in that seat... was it the same situation?"
"How do you achieve political stability and at the same time go to the Academy to play chess in your spare time?"
"I think Gao Jiu is helping a lot...but..."
Su Yao wanted to ask again, but when she thought of what Dr. Wen had just said when she told Zhu Gaojiu about his death, she fell silent.
Soon, Su Yao spoke calmly again and said: "You are not him."
Her actions were still noticed by the tall figure, but nothing changed.
Su Yao raised a hand and waved it in front of him.
The silver bells on the wrists collided, making a series of noises.
Ding Ding——Ding——
The tall figure sitting in the Royal Study Room finally made a move. His expressionless head looked left and right for a long time before finally looking at Su Yao in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the Xia family emperor suddenly burst into mourning.
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao... That person was so angry just now... Does your hand hurt..."
Su Yao shook his head, indicating that nothing was wrong.
"Can you let me... teach him a lesson next time..."
Su Yao raised his hand and waved. The man, who was still crying, quickly walked around the desk and finally sat on the steps.
His position seemed to be just right, with his head resting on Su Yao's knees.
Su Yao took off his hair crown and smoothed his hair very carefully, and the latter just enjoyed it quietly.
"They...are all just like Gaojiu, they all care about us..."
"But why...A Yao is so sad every time?"
Su Yao fell into silence again, but quickly squeezed out a smile and looked at the man between his knees.
"It's because A Yao always feels that his own way is better, but in fact their way is the best..."
"A Yao's is the best!"
After hearing this, Su Yao quickly raised his hand, as if he was ready to punish.
This frightened the man so much that he quickly covered his face with his hands, leaving two finger gaps open so that he could continue to see the person in front of him clearly.
How could Su Yao not see these thoughts?
She let out a long sigh, and just as the man beneath her was about to continue to offer words of comfort, Su Yao shook the silver bell on her wrist again.
Ding--ding-ding--
The tall figure immediately sat upright again, and his expression, eyes, and face all returned to normal.
Immediately afterwards, the Xia family emperor stood up and began to walk towards the desk at the back. There was no change in his expression until he sat back down.
After Su Yao read all the movements, he turned back to his desk and prepared to continue reviewing the memorial.
But at this moment, the expressionless man's eyes moved slightly and glanced at the back in front of him.
...
Long before the six kings rushed to the imperial city for the family banquet, two teams of people had been secretly assembled in Yanyang Hedong and Henan.
These people relied on the Liaoyuan Army that came south from the north of the Great Wall to completely cover up their whereabouts.
As a result, no one in Hedong and Henan, from the vassal princes to the provincial governors and county magistrates, knew their whereabouts.
They have a common name - Wu Yeqi.
Founded three years ago in Japan, not many people know about it. Even Quexie, who is known as the sharp blade of the empire, has not found out all the information about them.
At most, a few scapegoats are released to support the situation...
At this moment, the Wu Yeqi soldiers who suppressed the rebels of the feudal lords from various places did not continue to march to Hebei, but met in Dongdu.
All the soldiers and horses were put on the Yanyang Army standard armor, which was no different from the ordinary Yanyang soldiers. In the eyes of the people of Dongdu, at most, the Yanyang army was stationed in Dongdu normally.
But just after Wu Yeqi entered the Dongdu Military Camp, the Yanyang Army stationed there immediately realized that something was wrong, and the horn of the camp immediately sounded!
Buzz-buzz-
General Dongdu came out with a sword, looked at Wu Yeqi in front of him and shouted.
"Whose general do you belong to! Report your military status as soon as possible, otherwise you will be hanged on the spot!"
A man slowly walked out from the crowd of black night riders. He tossed his helmet casually, then turned over and dismounted.
This man's footsteps were extremely heavy, as if every step he took would cause the mountains and rivers to turbulence.
Seeing the aura of the person in front of him, the Dongdu Guard General's face became a little grim.
Because he feels inexplicably familiar, yet extremely strange...
When the setting sun shone on that man's face, the Dongdu guard's face instantly turned frightened, and then turned pale.
He shouted in disbelief: "But General Chu Xu??"
Chu Xu glanced at him with a gloomy face and responded: "My Yanyang man only has some crooked melons and cracked jujubes left..."
The Dongdu guard general immediately raised his spirits, raised his fist and beat his breastplate and shouted: "I have seen General Chu Xu!"
There is naturally awe for the person in front of him.
But at this moment, the Dongdu guard general was more puzzled.
Because the Chu Xu whom he called the general in front of him had died ten years ago.
Moreover, Chu Xu, who died fighting the rebellion at that time, was only a captain. After his death, he was posthumously promoted to the fifth rank of General Dingyuan.
At that time, he was still puzzled. Even if the whole battalion was killed in the battle, it was just some rebels in the pass, so how could there be talk of pursuing the title?
Now that things have happened, the Dongdu guard general has some suspicions in his mind.
Recently, the members of the vassal kings in various places have been uprooted. When the Yanyang Army arrived, only some stumps and broken arms were left, and no trace could be found at all.
So at this moment, the person who "resurrected from the dead" appeared in front of him is the best answer.
Chu Xu spoke up: "Are there any followers of the Six Kings in the Eastern Capital?"
The guard general of the Eastern Capital immediately responded: "Since the news about the Imperial City came out, the general has restricted the access to various city gates, and everyone related to it has been recorded!"
Chu Xu sneered: "We can all enter the city in a dignified manner, and we have done a good job on the trouble..."
As soon as these words came out, the guard general of Dongdu, who wanted to continue speaking, was instantly panicked.
Chu Xu said again: "That's all... From now on, we will personally take action against the people in the city who are related to the Six Kings. Just pretend that you losers didn't see us..."
The Dongdu guard general at the front certainly wanted to understand why Chu Xu could speak so wildly.
But those Yanyang soldiers behind him couldn't figure it out.
Among the crowd, there was a shout from somewhere, like the beating of drums that shook the sky!
"Damn it! How can you be so wild and act like a fool in front of your grandfathers!"
Without waiting for the Dongdu guard general to turn around and reprimand him, someone among Wu Yeqi immediately drew an iron bow.
In an instant, the bow was drawn like a full moon!
Whoosh——
The next moment, there was a dull sound of falling to the ground in Yanyang Station.
The Yanyang soldier who had said the harsh words just now was shot dead on the spot before he could even walk out of the crowd.
Chu Xu said coldly: "Only those who live toward death can stand in front of us alive. Anyone who blocks us will die!"
The guard general of Dongdu took a step back as if mourning for his heir, his expression extremely ugly.
"From now on, General Chu can act as he pleases... If you need help, just send a message."
