211 Changes in the situation (5)
Yueniang committed suicide, and Xiangqin secretly rejoiced, but Xiangqin was just a backyard woman who only knew intrigues. Witnessing Pingyang Marquis forcing the palace, she was so frightened that she lost her soul. Fortunately, Caiyi pulled her and hid in a corner. , so he didn’t faint from fright on the spot. //The fastest update is 78.//[ ]( ·~ )
Although Caiyi was angry when she saw Pingyang Hou insisting on Qingyi, she was secretly happy when she thought about her and Qingyi's fate.
She and Qing Yi were going to be married together. She and Qing Yi were sisters, and they had to be given the title of concubine no matter what. When they got to the harem, whoever came up would have a bright future.
Seeing his father leaving, he quickly grabbed his mother and followed him.
When the Duke of Chu arrived at the door, he was stopped by someone. He was furious. However, he entered the palace without weapons and held the body of his beloved wife in his arms. He suppressed his anger and turned back to look at Pingyang Marquis coldly, "Master Marquis, this is What's the meaning?"
Xiao Hua stood in the hall, looking only at the green clothes. The wind blew his clothes, and he felt indescribably deserted and desolate, without any joy of victory.
Qing Yi's nose suddenly became sore. Up to now, he and his father were already incompatible with each other. She could not change anything about the country's affairs, but what she could do was to accompany her father on his final journey.
The Duke of Chu was very fiery. Seeing that Marquis Pingyang ignored his words and only had Qing Yi in his eyes, he became even more furious and shouted: "Does the Marquis want to keep my Duke?"
Xiao Hua then pulled his eyes away from Qing Yi's face and took a deep breath, "Mrs. Yue is gone, and I feel bad. Family affairs are not as important as state affairs. In state affairs, the Duke of the State must be a witness."
The Duke of Chu snorted heavily, "Don't be hypocritical. The head on my neck is right here. If you want, take it and give it to me at any time. Your brothers want to use me to gain power. There is no way."
The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. At this point, the Duke of Chu has been completely defeated and has nothing to say.
Xiao Hua smiled lowly. "Back then, the eldest emperor brother conspired to seize the throne. It would be fine if he was a wise king. My brother naturally supported him wholeheartedly. But he couldn't tolerate the two of us brothers. He was afraid that the world would return to the hands of my second brother, regardless of brotherhood. . He trapped my second brother to death and forced me into a desperate situation. [ ] How could my two brothers be willing to be harmed by him? Doing this is just a matter of survival in a desperate situation. However, it happened to ruin the good deeds of the Duke of the country. 【leaf*】【*】"
The Duke of Chu did indeed have the intention to seize the throne, but although he had this intention, he buried it in his heart and never showed it in front of others. When he exposed it to his face, he looked a little embarrassed. "You don't want to spit on anyone."
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "If the Duke changes his mind and serves the country wholeheartedly, I will not investigate whether it is right or wrong."
The Duke of Chu laughed loudly. The sarcasm was completely concealed, "Young master put on such a false face in front of my father-in-law. You have been lurking in my house for many years. Isn't this the day you have been waiting for? Now that you are here, you still want my father-in-law to be your subordinate." Sir, that’s ridiculous.”
Xiao Hua did not deny it, but simply said: "When it comes to this fight, it's just a matter of who wins and who loses. But in terms of heart, I really don't think that our two brothers are better than my eldest brother and I, the useless There are many emperor’s nephews? Could it be that the Duke could not see what my eldest brother had done, nor could he see the incompetence of my emperor’s nephew, so he had this intention? Now that my second brother is back, what’s wrong with it?”
The new emperor knew that the situation was over and it was certain that he would be deposed. Hearing Xiao Hua say that their father was incompetent, he became furious, jumped up and cursed: "You are rebellious, you don't care about your hands..."
Xiao Hua glanced at him coldly and swallowed back his words. Who was it that worked with the courtiers to change the imperial edict and seize the throne? Regardless of brotherhood, who was it that trapped him and his second brother to death?
Now it is just a matter of returning the property to its original owner and returning this broken country to the second brother's hands.
A group of soldiers rushed in from outside the palace and stood in two columns. The new emperor's knees softened and he sat down, his face ashen.
Xiao Hua said coldly: "Take him down."
Immediately, four people carried the new emperor out, who was as soft as a puddle of mud.
Many of these things directly or indirectly passed through the hands of the Duke of Chu. The Duke of Chu had his own obsessions. Although he believed that it was inappropriate for the Xiao Hua brothers to seize the throne so blatantly, he was a courtier. He helped the emperor seize the throne back then. Now, He also pretended to be the emperor and occupied the throne for several years, which was even more treasonous. How could he confidently refute it?
Looking at the new emperor being carried away, he was speechless for a moment. =小= said,
Qing Yi was not completely unaware of his father's ambitions, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. [~]
Although my father is defeated now, I still want my father to surrender, but my father's nature is not possible.
Since Xiao Hua has no intention of executing his father immediately, there is room for change in everything.
But my father was in a state of ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down. In addition, he had just lost his wife.
Although her mother committed suicide, it was not related to Xiao Hua. My father probably hated Xiao Hua deeply.
If he continued to talk at this time, it would only make the relationship between the two more tense, and might cause blood to be splashed on the spot. He then said: "There is a chaos in the palace today, and the Marquis must be very busy. And my mother has just passed away, and my father is probably in chaos. Boom, plus I’m angry again, it’s hard to make a reasonable decision calmly now, so why don’t we leave first to deal with my mother’s funeral affairs, and wait until my father calms down to talk about other things.”
The 200,000-strong army of Snake Marquis has been destroyed, and the palace has been controlled by Ye. Only a few remnants are left. Ling Feng has led the army to seal off the entire capital. The situation has been determined. The Duke of Chu has the ability to defy the heavens. , and it can’t be used.
Even if he is released from the palace, there will be no tricks.
The only person Xiao Hua is worried about is Qing Yi.
He was usually deep and reserved, and could not express his emotions or anger. No matter when, his face was always calm and calm, but at this time, his eyes were locked on Qing Yi, but he was feeling rare silence.
Qing Yi took a breath, "Does the Marquis dare not let our father and daughter go?"
Xiao Hua lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh at himself. He really didn't dare.
When he raised his head again, he felt completely relieved. Forcing her to stay here would only lead to her death. It would be better to let her out and say loudly: "Send the Duke back to his home."
The Duke of Chu sneered, saying it was a send-off, rather than an escort.
A soldier came in hurriedly, saluted Xiao Hua, handed over a letter, and said: "The King of Nanyang has left and wants the Marquis to ascend the throne and take charge of the overall situation. This is the prince's personal letter."
Xiao Hua held the thin piece of letter paper, but his heart was as heavy as lead.
He looked up at Qing Yi who was looking at him, feeling sad in his heart.
After all, Ye Xin couldn't let her go.
Qing Yi helped her father, who was holding his mother's body, out of the palace. A signal egg rose above the Duke of Chu's mansion. The Duke of Chu looked up and watched the signal egg disappear. Suddenly, he seemed ten years older and his shoulders slumped.
With a long sigh of despair, he calculated his whole life, and in the blink of an eye there was nothing left.
This result had been expected by Qing Yi, but when it came suddenly, his heart was still as heavy as a huge stone, "Dad, let's go."
The Duke of Chu suddenly woke up and turned around to look at his daughter. After a long while, his dead eyes suddenly flashed.
It's not over yet, there is still a chance.
***
King Nanyang appeared like a god, took control of the palace, handed over the power to Ling Yun, left the chaotic mess to Xiao Hua, and then disappeared silently.
Everyone understood that although King Nanyang was the crown prince at that time, he had been away from the Yan Kingdom for too long and the foundation of the court was unstable. Even if he sat on the throne, it would be difficult to win people's hearts in a short time.
But Pingyang Marquis is different. Over the years, Pingyang Marquis has fought in the south and north, made numerous military exploits, and maintained peace in the world. In the court, except for the Duke of Chu, the concubine of the Qing Dynasty, the Wu family, and a group of courtiers who vented their anger, who can resist?
Next, all the things that happened when the emperor tampered with the imperial edict, sought power for the throne, and framed the Marquis of Nanyang were revealed.
And Wang Dehai was brought up, confirming that the old minister obeyed the order of "Yan Huang" and used the fake emperor to deceive the world.
According to the clues about the Hehuan Spring water searched by Pingyang Marquis, the Hehuan Spring water was found under the palace of Emperor Yan, and the identity of Emperor Yan was revealed. He was actually a remnant of the Snake Kingdom. Because his appearance was very similar to Emperor Yan, he was taken to Yanjing replaced the terminally ill Emperor Yan.
Pingyang Hou Fengxing Lei broke through, beheading what should be done, and copying what should be done, without any mercy, and the bloody light rushed straight to the nine heavens. Even the courtiers who were in the middle of the court were all on tenterhooks, and they dared not say anything.
The Wu family participated in tampering with the imperial edict and should have been killed. However, remembering Qing's life-saving grace to Nanyang Wangye, they only killed Concubine Qing and beheaded Concubine Qing's father Wu Cheng'an. The female relatives were exiled to remote Shazhou.
Wu Waner, who had always believed that she could marry Marquis Pingyang, could not accept such a result until she left. She cried and wanted to see Marquis Pingyang but was rejected, and left with resentment.
The Duke of Chu was the first person to support the false emperor, and his crime should not be punished.
But surprisingly, apart from being relieved of military power, he was not convicted of any crime.
A rumor spread that Pingyang Hou was Xiao Hua, the number one merchant in Yanjing.
Everyone knows the kindness that Chu Guogong and his wife showed to Xiao Hua in raising him.
The Duke of Chu was pardoned, which gave Xiao Hua a reputation as someone who knows how to repay his kindness.
Let those who are dissatisfied with Xiao Hua's harsh methods look at him differently.
Although the world is stable, everyone knows that the Duke of Chu is by no means a man who can be easily captured, and will never accept the arrangements of Marquis Pingyang calmly.
Everyone is waiting for the Duke of Chu to rise again.
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Chu did not use all the popular methods in the past, and just quietly arranged for his wife's funeral in the mansion.
There was no further delay in Mrs. Yue's funeral. She just stayed in the house for one night and then went to the funeral.
The Duke of Chu supported the dark coffin, his face was calm, and he said to himself: "Madam, go slowly, my husband will come to accompany you soon."
Qing Yi stood in front of her mother's grave with mixed feelings in her heart. She was determined to leave and never be controlled by her mother again.
However, once the mother died, the resentment towards the mother naturally disappeared.
She felt that her mother died in a foolish manner, but no matter what, her mother died because of her bad relationship with Xiao Hua, and her self-blame was deeply rooted in her heart.
There really was a barrier between her and Xiao Hua that could no longer be crossed.
After my mother was buried, I stood in front of the grave with my father for a long time. It wasn't until dusk fell that I left with my father... I recommend a new book from Emei. Those who are book-hungry can read it.
Emei's new text "Chenglong" ISBN... You are the real dragon, but you still have to be held by this girl! (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.) rv
