Dayu Execution Officer, begins to torture the demon girl's fiancee

"Has something happened in Beijing?"

The state of Qi was shrouded in darkness.

In the main hall of the royal palace, a dim yellow light swayed beside the bed, illuminating the warm bedroom even hotter.

On the soft couch, Chu Biezhi, dressed in a thin coat, was sitting by the bed, raising his hands to straighten his messy long hair, and at the same time peeking at Zhao Cuo who was lying behind.

"Yes, but I don't know exactly what's going on. Let's wait for the follow-up development."

The little father-in-law turned his head to look at her.

He was behind, so he could only see Xiaobiezhi's white shoulders and slender willow waist.

Even though he just bullied her, he still couldn't help reaching out and wrapping his arms around her weak waist.

"Keep your hands away! Don't do anything without my permission."

Master Guoshi said with a straight face.

"Can I touch it?"

Zhao thief retracted his hand obediently and asked.

"Of course not...if you listen to me every time in the future."

As she spoke, she snorted coldly and arrogantly.

"I'm obedient to you."

Zhao made the mistake of saying something that had nothing to do with the facts.

However, the words of the little national teacher seemed to agree with him to do it, so of course he would not be polite.

He stretched out his hand again to wrap his arms around her white and delicate willow waist, and his hand brushed upwards with a slight arc from time to time.

"What happened to the capital? I don't believe that the female devil will be seized by someone. It's ridiculous."

Chu Biezhi frowned slightly.

"It should be the empress dowager who has a plan."

The little father-in-law is calm and unhurried, he is still in a state of confidence, and the situation has not yet made him feel uncontrollable.

"What are you going to do? Dayu is already in your hands, and the fierce Gu in your body is about to bite back."

"Not urgent."

Thief Zhao shook his head.

"The king of Han in Beijing may have committed a rebellion. I will first look at the direction of the east and the east. If necessary, I will take the army north."

"You're talking about the brother of the late Emperor and the current Emperor Wu Cheng, that His Highness King Han? He usurped the dynasty..."

The national teacher was taken aback for a moment.

King Han is also his biological elder brother.

Although he doesn't have any sense of belonging to the Chu family, he doesn't want to have trouble with people who are connected by blood. Wouldn't it be nice to be an idle prince with peace of mind.

"Sister Lan told me that he was rebellious, and now he has acted as the acting secretary of the Imperial City and has mastered [-] forbidden troops."

Zhao Cuo didn't mean to hide from Xiao Biezhi.

Even if he is related to King Han.

But they are closer.

"The king of Han has already taken power in the capital... the queen must be taking advantage of his ambition."

Chu Biezhi was startled, and then frowned, apparently not thinking that the mighty Empress Dowager Dayu would be seized power.

"I don't know much about the situation in Beijing. The empress dowager didn't inform me before. Maybe someone from the East Palace will come to pass the news in a few days."

Mr. Zhao can still hold his breath. When the situation is not clear, he can't act rashly.

"You just said that you want to bring troops into Beijing?"

she asked suddenly.

"If Xiang Jing falls into the hands of the rebels, I will be king of Jingqin, otherwise how will my Zhao family deal with itself?"

Bandit Zhao said seriously that the power of the Zhao clan had swelled to a level that no monarch could tolerate.

If it weren't for the bad woman to continue to be in power, their whole family would have been waiting to be liquidated. Now he holds one-third of Dayu's land.

Now no one thinks that he will raise troops to rebel, because there is a powerful queen mother in the court, and a weak emperor will become "Zhao Cuozhi's heart is known to everyone".

"You and I still say such high-sounding words? Isn't the queen making the situation what it is now just to make you go further!"

The national teacher stared at him.

"Ok?"

Zhao Cuo was taken aback for a moment.

"At this point, do you have any other way to go? Whether it's your life or the future of the Zhao family, you need to take a step forward to save it."

Seeing that he seemed to be really stunned, Xiao Biezhi frowned for a while, and made his words clearer.

"wrong."

Mr. Zhao shook his head suspiciously.

She understood Chu Biezhi's words, she meant that the female devil made the situation develop to the present point in order for him to stand on the top.

But his established plan was to let the bad woman ascend the throne, but Xiao Biezhi's words seemed to be correct, and it was only for his own prestige and power that he brought troops into Beijing.

"I'm not hiding it from you. What I wanted to do at the beginning was to let the empress dowager hold the imperial power in a legitimate way. Do you understand?"

Zhao thief put his words more bluntly.

"She wants to..."

Chu Biezhi frowned.

She had gotten hints from Zhao Cuo before.

But it was unprecedented for a woman to take that step, and it was too shocking.

"All in all, you don't have to worry about my life, I know what to do."

Zhao Cuo got up and embraced the little national teacher from behind. In fact, he was a little bit more hesitant because of the words of the beauty in his arms. What is the empress dowager going to do?
When the situation came to the point where he led troops into the capital, it would not benefit the female devil's rule at all, but would weaken her prestige in the eyes.

On the other hand, when he invades the capital, his power will reach an unprecedented level. Could it be...

……

"Report to the general! The governor of Liangjiang sent someone to deliver a message, but the person has already arrived outside the palace."

Two days later, the southern army's entry into the country of Yan exceeded expectations, and it was almost about to invade its capital.

Zhao Cuo's focus is no longer on the Six Kingdoms, he is paying attention to the movement in Beijing, but there has been no news from the secret guard.

However, just after lunch that day, his own father, Zheng Guogong Zhao Gan, sent someone over, and the people who came were Zhao's family, who had some old friendship with him.

"Zhao Lang pays homage to the General!"

"That's it."

Mr. Zhao looked at the handsome young man saluting in the hall with a gentle expression.

This person is the eldest son of Jiangnan Zhao's family, the only son of Zhao Yuanqing, the general of the Southern Army under him, and the nephew of the empress dowager.

This status is extremely noble among the children of the rich and famous family of Dayu, but in front of his great-uncle, he is a junior.

"Kong Zhao delivered the letter on behalf of my father. It was hard work for you to make a trip. Sit down."

Zhao Cuo called him affectionately.

They are also considered relatives.

After An'er was born, he was still this person's cousin.

"This is what Kong Zhao is in charge of."

Zhao Lang said respectfully.

Mr. Zhao nodded and didn't say much.

He was the one who transferred this guy from the Southern Army to Jiangnan before. After all, the front line is dangerous, and his nephew and grandson still have to take care of him.

"Go down and rest first. After I finish writing the letter, I will send it to you to take back to Jiangnan."

Thief Zhao lowered his head and opened the envelope in his hand.

He took out the letter paper and looked at it, his face gradually sank, and he crumpled the paper unconsciously.

There was no news from the secret guard, but Zheng Guogong sent him the news of the court, and the content of the letter made him realize that he should react.

"Go and invite the commander-in-chief. If I have a consultation, don't delay."

Zhao Cuo said lightly.

He sat down at the table as he put down the letter.

In a short while, Zhao Yuanqing walked into the hall with the pace of dragons and tigers, knelt on one knee and performed a military salute.

"The general will meet the general at the end."

"No need to be polite."

Mr. Zhao got up and walked down the hall to help him up.

"May I ask what orders you have for coming here? The war in Yan Kingdom has reached its final moment, and the news of success may come tomorrow morning."

Zhao Zongbing was also flattered by the unexpected courtesy he received.

"Ugh……"

Zhao thief shook his hand and sighed.

"The rebellion of the kings has not yet been resolved, and the country has committed thieves again, what should I do?"

Zhao Yuanqing was startled when he heard his words, and didn't dare to speak easily for a while, what happened?
"The general is the pillar of my court. Even if the rebellion recurs, we are willing to follow you to put down the rebellion!"

He was quiet for a while before he spoke the correct nonsense.

"I'm relieved to follow the general's words."

Zhao Cuo looked at him with piercing eyes.

"If there are rebellious officials and thieves in the court usurping the power and the throne, would you like to raise troops with this general and enter the capital to serve as the king?"

Zhao Zongbing's face turned pale from fright, what is Bandit Zhao's intention?The one in power in the court is the empress dowager!

As for the rhetoric of Qingjun's side, it has been the slogan of anti-thieves since ancient times, and the purpose of entering Beijing is to directly clear the monarch.

He turned pale for a moment and didn't know how to answer, but he didn't dare to say no, because the south of Bajiang River was completely under the control of the General's Mansion.

"The Supreme Master of the Eastern Palace has ruled the court for many years, and Gan Gang is arbitrary. Who dares to make trouble?"

Zhao Yuanqing asked boldly.

'Isn't it you? '

He said timidly in his heart.

Even though he knew a thing or two about the relationship between Lord Zhao and Queen Mother Zhao, he was out of control at this time and didn't know what to do.

The relationship between a man and a woman seems insignificant in the face of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. If Zhao thief really wants to rebel, he will not be surprised.

"The general got the news! The empress dowager has not been in court for many days, and the king of Han is in charge of the Imperial City Department."

Zhao Cuo said directly.

He is not afraid of a direct showdown with Zhao Yuanqing, he can still trust this person, and his current power can make people have no choice.

Even if Zhao Zongbing did not support his decision, it would be impossible to resist. He brought the brilliant martial arts that pacified the Seven Kingdoms, and with the Southern Army in his hands, his power was already unshakable.

"You mean the king of Han usurped the dynasty?"

Zhao Yuanqing's complexion changed!
The first reaction in his mind was doubt.

The empress dowager is still there, and he doesn't even think that General Zhao, who is so powerful in the world, dares to rebel, so why should a Han king?

"This matter is still uncertain, but the court has issued an imperial edict without the approval of the East Palace, and it is actually to remove the governor of Jiangbei Mansion."

Mr. Zhao handed him the letter from Liangjiang Governor Zhao Gan that he had read just now.

"Who is Chu Mao?"

Zongbing Zhao also narrowed his eyes after reading the letter.
The imperial court even issued an edict to transfer the former governor of Jiangbei back to Beijing, and parachute a new big official of the frontier.

The governor of a government is undoubtedly the minister of the frontier. If there is no governor who governs several government, he is completely the emperor of a land, and there is no one to rule.

"The general doesn't know the details of Chu Mao, but Xu Jin, governor of Jiangbei, is the Queen Mother's confidant. How could the Supreme Master issue such an order at this juncture?"

Zhao Cuo snorted coldly, Xu Jin was also his father's confidant, and Chaozhong's move was tantamount to directly weakening Governor Liangjiang's control over Jiangbei.

"But Xu Jin was transferred to the Privy Council in Beijing..."

Zhao Yuanqing hesitated again.

Entering the Privy Council is no different from entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the previous dynasty.

Judging from this, there seems to be no problem with the imperial edict.

"The Empress Dowager has an order. The south of the Bajiang River will be controlled by the General's Mansion. She will not issue such an order without knowing her understanding in advance."

"If there are really rebels in the court, the last general is willing to be the first general! Raise troops to serve the king."

Zhao Zongbing saluted without hesitation and bowed to the ground.

He still had doubts in his heart, but there was no chance for him to choose. Nanfang was already surnamed Zhao.

Things have come to this point, they take care of their family as a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can only keep themselves by obeying the current ruler.

"Okay! You can arrange it now, in the name of the General's Mansion..."

……

"Chu Mao is here?"

Zheng Guogong and Zhao Gan sat in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

His expression was calm and stable, and a middle-aged official with a particularly ugly face sat on the lower right. This person was Jiangbei Governor Xu Jin.

As soon as the imperial edict arrived, he rushed to the governor's mansion in the south of the Yangtze River without hesitation, and reported the matter to Shangguan Liangjiang governor.

"Reporting to Lord Du Xian, the Chu Qin Envoy has already arrived outside Yuhang City, and he should come to the city by now."

The guard under the hall said.

When the governor takes office, there is a handover between the old and the new.

Xu Jin ran directly to Jiangnan, and the newcomers had to follow, and it was one of the rules for new officials to meet the governor.

"My lord, the lower officials have received an order to be transferred to the Privy Council at this time, but the court..."

Jiangbei governor Xu Jin said in a low voice.

The Pingnan War is not completely over yet!
Jiangbei is one of the main supplies of the Southern Army's military supplies. It is not normal to change the chief officer at this time. Of course, he will not be unaware of his position.

"Not busy, I reported this matter to the General's Mansion yesterday, and General Zhao should have instructions."

Zheng Guogong's tone was calm and steady.

His mood was actually not as calm as it appeared.

Zhao Cuo had already informed him of the news of the changes in Beijing through letters, but he didn't know much about the current situation like the young master.

"The south of the Bajiang River is under the control of General Zhao. If the lower officials do not have the approval of you and the General's Mansion, they should not be ordered."

Xu Jin nodded slightly in relief.

He Shangfeng is the biological father of General Zhao Cuo.

Now that he is in the south of Dayu, he can be regarded as having the thickest thighs in his arms. Of course, if the situation is unknown, he is unwilling to enter Beijing.

"Everything should be subject to the orders of the General's Mansion."

Zhao Gan also nodded.

The southern part of Dayu is essentially Zhao.

This is also the aspect that makes him most uneasy.

"Master Du Xian! The Chu Qin envoy has arrived outside the governor's mansion, do you..."

At this time, another yamen servant bowed his head and walked into the hall. The imperial court ordered the officials of the frontier to be called imperial envoys before they officially took office.

"Invite people in, don't be rude, go quickly."

Zheng Guogong said unhurriedly.

Suddenly, another person walked in from the side door, and went directly to his side, whispering in his ear.

Zhao Gan immediately stood up with a changed expression, with hesitation in his eyes, but finally nodded.

"The imperial court ordered the governor of Jiangbei, and the next official, Chu Mao, to meet the governor, Mr. Zhao!"

A slightly younger man walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite..."

Zhao Gan didn't finish his sentence.

His gaze remained outside the house.

Suddenly, the sound of armored soldiers came from far and near.

"Vice General Wang Cheng of the Southern Army has met the Governor of Liangjiang, Mr. Zhao, and was ordered by the General's Mansion to bring Chu Mao into the State of Qi for interrogation."

A burly general in his thirties walked into the hall.

"Let go, presumptuous!"

Chu Mao immediately blushed and got up.

He took out a volume of Ming Huang silk book from his bosom.

This color is different from the black imperial decree of the East Palace, but the emperor's decree. The decree issued by the East Palace will also issue an imperial decree in the name of Emperor Wucheng.

"This is the holy decree! Who dares to make a mistake, Governor Zhao..."

"Take it!"

Wang Cheng shouted directly!

Zhao Gan watched this scene with a pale face.

It's all messed up!He didn't dare to think what Zhao Cuo wanted to do, even to the point of blatantly despising the imperial edict...
