retaliate

Chapter 888 A grudge from many years ago

In the middle of the night, the emperor is still with the imperial concubine tonight.

In the foggy world, the emperor looked around blankly.

"Where is this? Come on! Come on!"

The fog dissipated suddenly, and a middle-aged man stood in front of him with a smile.

"Jiro!"

The emperor's complexion changed drastically, "You..."

That person is filial to the emperor, he suddenly pointed at the emperor and shouted: "Dog, it's useless for Zigu to take care of you like this, but you are so desperate to murder Gu!"

"No, not me!"

The emperor screamed.

The mist suddenly rolled away, and Emperor Xiaojing disappeared.

The emperor was panting, and saw a general appearing with a child in his hand.

"Yang Lue!"

Yang Lue took the child to farm and practice, and their team is getting more and more...

The beacon smoke suddenly rose, and Yang Lue and the child led an army to sweep over.

Until the city of Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an was enveloped in flames, and the emperor fled everywhere, but could not find a safe place.

The child came after him, brandishing the horizontal knife, and said viciously: "You dog thief, die!"

"No!"

The Emperor snapped his eyes open.

The noble concubine was awakened and sat up abruptly, "Erlang!"

The emperor was sweating profusely, looking at the void with a hideous expression, as if an enemy was roaring at him there.

"Jiro!"

The imperial concubine tentatively stretched out her hand, and lightly pressed his shoulder, "Did you have a nightmare?"

The emperor's expression changed slowly, he exhaled heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

The imperial concubine felt relieved, "I have thoughts every day, and dreams at night. It is better for Erlang to worry less about government affairs."

Today's court situation has formed a check and balance situation. Yang Songcheng and others are the only ones in the family, but Liang Jing and a group of people are rampant, and they can also contain the head of the country.

With Zhou Zun, Wang Douluo and other adversaries making moves, the situation is still stable.

The emperor closed his eyes, the dream was extremely clear, and the child's appearance was still in his memory.

He took a breath, "Change."

Immediately, the palace people came in, wiped off the sweat on the emperor's body with a cloth towel, and changed his clothes.

Apart from the fact that the hair was wet and uncomfortable, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

He can't sleep.

Simply get up and go out for a walk.

The noble concubine was by her side, and the two of them walked slowly outside the bedroom.

"Does Hongyan still remember filial piety to the emperor?"

The noble concubine nodded, "I remember."

"That uncle is good to me."

The emperor's voice was very gentle, "When I see you, I will call to stop me and ask me what books I have read recently, have I ever been a flying eagle, have I been led astray by someone... say something, then pat me on the shoulder, and let me go to the East Palace without incident , he has a good gentleman and a good book, just borrow it to read."

Filial piety to the emperor comes from a noble background and is valued by the empress, so he behaves generously, even when facing important officials.

The noble concubine thought about it later...

Rumor has it that the emperor and the Supreme Emperor framed a plot to honor the emperor.

When she was the woman who abolished the prince, she thought it was a rumor.

After becoming the emperor's woman, she was at a loss after seeing the emperor's artifice and scheming.

"There is only one emperor." The emperor's voice was very gentle. "On that day, Ah Weng ate too much and was poisoned the most, so he died not long after. Grandmother was enthroned as emperor immediately, suppressing the men of the dynasty. ..."

The concubine felt a little cold.

Can't help crossing my arms.

"Power is so intoxicating. With power, you can have everything in this world. You can have what you want. You can decide life and death with one word. The huge world will dance at your command... …

This is so exciting! "

The noble concubine thought of Liang Jing, but fortunately, even now, Liang Jing still retains the vicious demeanor of when he was in Sichuan.

She thought it was bad before, but now she felt very kind.

People, once bewitched by power, will do things that even they can't believe.

"So, it's only natural to do something for the sake of power!"

The emperor turned around, and the imperial concubine nodded.

"Ok!"

The emperor's eyes were piercing, "Under my rule, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, right?"

The imperial concubine nodded and looked at the emperor with admiration. "yes."

"Hahahaha!"

The emperor couldn't help laughing.

A few palace servants who were napping in the shadows wiped the drool from the corners of their mouths, came out and stood with their hands tied.

Han Shishi is here.

"His Majesty."

"Why did you wake up?" The emperor looked in a good mood.

Han Shitou said: "The servant girl is sleeping soundly! Hearing some movement, he thought to himself, it's not good to disturb His Majesty, so I hurriedly got up and checked."

If he said that someone had reported it, there was no guarantee that the emperor would suspect him of making people stare at him.

Companion to the monarch is like companion to the tiger, which refers to the elusiveness of the emperor's mentality, not the cruelty of the emperor.

No matter how cruel the emperor is, as long as there are traces to follow, disasters can be avoided.

There was a touch of satisfaction in the emperor's eyes, "I remember Yang Lue was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, right?"

"Yes!"

Han Shitou didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of Yang Lue, so he cheered up quickly.

The emperor felt that his temples were a little sore, and he stretched out his hand to rub it gently, which made it even more uncomfortable.

"That child is also in Southern Zhou. Has there been any news from the Jingtai?"

Ever since Yang Lue fled to Southern Zhou with his children, Jingtai has been chasing after her.At first, the emperor paid much attention to their news, but gradually, he ignored it.

Han Shitou thought for a while, "The last time Jingtai reported the news to them was last year, saying that Yang Lue sneaked into the south and swept away many young men."

Sure enough, it matched my dream, Yang Lue was training the army... The emperor frowned slightly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

That time it was a report, but the emperor was addicted to a song and couldn't extricate himself. He said: "The Southern Zhou Dynasty was beaten by my tigers and nearly destroyed the country, so does Yang Lue want to rely on the Southern Zhou Dynasty to attack the Tang Dynasty? joke!"

But the emperor can't be wrong!

Han Shitou bowed, "The servant is guilty."

Of course the emperor knew that this matter had nothing to do with Han Shitou, he said coldly: "Call Wang Shou here."

The emperor's spirit became better and better at the moment, "Bring the knife."

When Wang Shou came, he saw the light of the sword flickering.

Having not practiced for a long time, the emperor got a little breathless after finishing a set of saber techniques.

He threw the horizontal knife to the servant, and looked at Wang Shou coldly, "How is Yang Lue and that child?"

It turned out to be this question... Wang Shou calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, because the threat to northern Xinjiang is getting bigger and bigger, in the past two years Jingtai has dispatched a lot of people from Southern Zhou and Southern Xinjiang to search for news in Northern Xinjiang."

"So Nan Zhou was negligent?" the emperor said calmly.

Wang Shou shuddered, "No, last time the people at Jingtai discovered that Yang Lue led an army of [-] riders to southern Xinjiang, and swept away more than [-] local young men."

"Five hundred at a time, ten times, how much is a hundred times?" The emperor roared: "Dereliction of duty!"

When the thunder came, Wang Shou knelt down slowly, "Your servant is guilty."

The emperor came over and kicked him away.

"what!"

Wang Shou screamed in unison and fell to the ground.

"Useless bastard!"

The emperor kicked and kicked, Wang Shou rolled all over the ground, and the howling sound shook the night sky.

The emperor was tired, he stopped to pant, his eyes were fierce.

"How about King Zhen and King Yong?"

This is to ask filial piety to the two children of the emperor.

Wang Shou got up and knelt down, enduring the pain in his body and said: "Those two people have been in the mansion all day, King Zhen pretended to be irritable. King Yong pretended to be timid..."

"Is there any private collusion with officials and generals?" the emperor asked.

"No."

The emperor suddenly laughed, "They have been pretending for more than ten years, I am very interesting to see. Do you know why I did not expose them?"

We dare not listen... Wang Shou lowered his head.

Han Shishi was silent.

The emperor coughed and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Back then my uncle was the crown prince, and Aye was just a prince, and he was not valued. Even I was ignored by others. I could feel this as soon as I entered the palace. When the people on my uncle's side said anything casually, the people in the palace would be respectful and respectful." OK. But my order was ignored. Why?"

"Those years I was aggrieved! I was so aggrieved that I couldn't sleep at night."

"I have become the emperor, but my uncle's children have become ordinary clan members. When they saw me, one bowed their heads, and the other trembled in fear." The emperor laughed, and suddenly said softly: "Did you see it, uncle? You The life and death of my children are all in my hands. They are scared, terrified, hahahaha!"

Han Shishi looked calm.

The emperor's voice changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "Does Nan Zhou know where Yang Lue is?"

Wang Shou shook his head, "I probably don't know."

"Should?" the emperor said: "I think Nian Xu knows. This person wants to keep Yang Luena and other rebels, and when the opportunity comes, he will send troops to harass the south. In this way, let people lead the army to intimidate the Southern Zhou Dynasty and force Nian Xu Clearing up Yang Lue, I want to see those two heads, yes!"

"Yes."

Wang Shou felt that this matter had nothing to do with the mirror stage, so he felt unjustly beaten for no reason.

The emperor pondered.

"Zhang Chumao will obey the positive and the negative, Shi Zhongtang... I don't know what I'm thinking."

The emperor paced back and forth, then suddenly turned around.

His eyes were cold.

"Let Qi Xun go and tell him that Nianxu must be forced to send troops to wipe out Yang Lue. I want to see... at least the head of that child!"

Qi Xun!

Han Shitou lowered his head with hatred in his eyes.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, Qi Xun was ordered to purge the line of filial piety to the emperor.

This is also one of the reasons why the outside world criticized the resignation and death of Emperor Xiaojing for being related to Li Mi and his son.

In a normal seizure, the loser will step down or die, that's normal.After death, the most he can do is to stare at his family members. After suppressing his children and grandchildren for 30 to [-] years, they will naturally disappear.

But Li Mi and his son made Qi Xun kill him, which can be said to be the best place in the world.

……

The envoys from the palace soon arrived at Qi Xun's home.

At the moment Qi Xun was having breakfast, when he heard the messenger was coming, he quickly wiped his mouth and went to the front yard.

"Wang Jianmen?"

The messenger turned out to be Wang Shou.

Seeing Wang Shou's bruised nose and swollen face, the corners of Qi Xun's mouth turned up slightly, and then his heart shuddered.

In Chang'an, only the emperor can beat Wang Shou severely.

Look at the scars, they are very fresh.

In other words, it might have been done last night.

It must be a big deal to make the emperor so angry that he beat Wang Shou severely.

Wang Shou said with a cold face, "Do you still remember that child back then?"

The appearance of Yang Lue and a swaddling baby appeared in Qi Xun's mind.

"Remember!"

Wang Shou looked down at him from a high position, "Back then, the Huang family escaped one person, and I spared you. This time you go to southern Xinjiang, and you will coerce the Southern Zhou Dynasty, forcing Nian Xu to send troops to wipe out Yang Lue!"

Back then, Qi Xun was ordered to strangle the lineage of Emperor Xiaojing, but when he strangled the Huang family, he missed one person.At that time, the emperor didn't think so, and Qi Xun himself didn't think so either.

Unexpectedly, after many years, the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter.

Qi Xun's eyes became more ferocious, and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Yes!"

"I want to see that child's head! And, Yang Lue's head!"

"Yes!"

Qi Xun raised his head, "But leave immediately?"

Wang Shou shook his head, "In the future, there will be a big banquet in the palace for all the ministers and clan. If you are not here, you will easily attract attention. I will go later."

"Yes!"

Qi Xun sent Wang Shou outside the house.

Seeing Wang Shou's figure disappear into the morning mist, Qi Xun sneered and said:
"It's time to end all of this!"

He went home and continued with breakfast.

The eldest son asked, "Aye, are you going on a long trip?"

Qi Xun nodded, "To meet an old friend, to end a grievance from many years ago."

……

At the same time, Yang Xuan was still eating breakfast.

The breakfast made by a group of lazy people is really a headache, and Yang Xuan has no appetite.

"Lang Jun, bring the cook with you next time!"

Jiang He'er had a loyal look on his face.

Yang Xuan glanced at most of her leftover breakfast.

"That's it."

Boss Yang entered the kitchen.

"Crane come to light the fire!"

"Oh!"

The boss was really moved by my words... Jiang He'er was secretly happy, and happily lit a fire.

Mix a bowl of batter, cut some shredded mutton, and some dried shrimp.

Stir-fry with shredded lamb and dried shrimp, add water and bring to a boil, and after a few minutes use chopsticks to pour the batter into the pot one by one.

In a short time, one bowl of alternative Hoto per person is enough.

Jiang He'er took a bite, and Yang Xuan asked, "How?"

It's really delicious... Jiang He'er narrowed her eyes, "Delicious!"

Ha ha!

Yang Xuan smiled.

After breakfast, people from the palace came.

"There will be a big banquet in the palace in the future."

Yang Xuan wanted to ask who would go, but held back.

You can ask Zhao Sanfu.

"Old Han, send off the nobleman!" Yang Xuan smiled.

"Yes!" Han Ji came over, sent the servant out of the door, held his hand, and said kindly: "Go slowly!"

An ingot of silver slipped into the servant's cuff, and the servant said with satisfaction: "The palace invites all the ministers and the clan, so Deputy Envoy Yang should be careful."

Han Ji went in.

"Lang Jun, it is said that there is still a clan, those two..."

Yang Xuan knew that he was talking about his two half-brothers.

King Yong and King Zhen.

He said slowly: "It's good to meet each other!"

"Yes!" Han Ji smiled. In his opinion, those two are in a good state at present, and it is best to keep it up.

"Get someone to go to that pastry shop and tell me that I have something to do with Zhao Sanfu."

"Yes!"

Later, Yang Xuan got a response, and Zhao Sanfu was waiting for him.

When he arrived at the bakery, he went in, and then went around to the back.

Zhao Sanfu was drinking in the back.

"have a drink."

Yang Xuan sat down, the two ate in silence for a while, Yang Xuan put down his chopsticks and asked, "What is the purpose of the banquet in the palace in the future?"

"It's to show the majesty of the emperor, to frighten..." Zhao Sanfu looked at him with strange eyes, "to frighten the rebellious officials and thieves like you."

Hey!
Yang Xuan smiled.

Zhao Sanfu said: "The emperor is not in a good mood recently, so be careful."

"Why?"

"I don't know, yesterday he called Wang Shou into the palace in the middle of the night and beat him up. Afterwards, he ordered Qi Xun to go to southern Xinjiang and force Nan Zhou to suppress Yang Lue..."

Yang Xuan smiled, "Really?"

Qi Xun!

Damn it!
……

Ask for a ticket!
