The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 170 Empress Xie's Anger
In Zhaoyang Palace, after listening to her younger brother Xie Shi's words, Empress Xie's face with exquisite makeup was very ugly.

"Are you a cover?"

Xie Shi said dejectedly: "Well, I have been a cover from the beginning to the end, and I am the only one who is kept in the dark."

More than half a year ago, when he was transferred by the emperor to put down the rebellion in Yangzhou, he was very excited, thinking that his chance to make contributions had finally come.He decided to perform well this time, to let his father and brothers see his strength, and to be proud of his sister.

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, although Xie Shi is the first son and the youngest son, he should be favored, but it is not the case.Xie Shi's elder brothers, whether they are the first brother or the second brother, are all excellent, and they are much better than him.Among the younger generation of the Xie family, Xie Shi's qualifications can be described as mediocre, and sometimes he can even be described as an idiot.

He is in Xie's family, except for his status as the son of the eldest son, there is no one else he can sell.On weekdays, if there is any important matter in the Xie family, he, the youngest son, has no say at all, even his brother-in-law has more weight than him.

For a long time, Xie Shi also wanted to make some achievements, wanted to prove that he was no worse than his brothers, but suffered from no chance.Even if there was a chance, the elder brother in the family would despise him as useless and would not let him play.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would personally call him to go to Yangzhou to quell the chaos. This is a good opportunity for him.The emperor valued him so much, he must put an end to the chaos beautifully, to win for himself, and for his sister who has been speaking for him.

Before going to Yangzhou, Xie Shi had already thought about how he would be praised by his elder brothers and clansmen after the successful suppression of the chaos.Also think about how he will have the right to speak in the Xie family in the future.However, he didn't expect that when he went to Yangzhou, he found that the peace of chaos was not as simple as he imagined.

Xie Shi wanted to seriously put down the chaos, but the chaos army played hide-and-seek with him.No matter what method he uses, the rebels just don't come out to fight him properly.Also, the children of the family in Yangzhou invited him to drink and eat every day.He refused at first, but he always kept in mind his mission to come to Yangzhou.But later, because he couldn't put down the chaos properly, he was depressed, so he couldn't help going out to eat, drink and have fun with the children of the aristocratic family in Yangzhou.

Just when he was about to lose his mind from having fun, the elder brother sent a letter asking him to keep a distance from the children of the Yangzhou family.If he associates with the descendants of the Yangzhou family again, the elder brother will break his legs.

What Xie Shi was most afraid of was his eldest brother Zhen Guogong. After receiving his eldest brother's letter, he quickly cut off contact with the children of the Yangzhou family and dared not go out to eat, drink and have fun.He stayed in the camp honestly every day, hoping that the rebels would appear as soon as possible.

After more than half a year, General Song suddenly appeared and said that he would replace him to quell the chaos.He was very angry and aggrieved at the time, but he didn't dare to say anything in the face of Song Dekang, who had made great military achievements.

After Song Dekang came, the rebel army appeared honestly and was wiped out by General Song in one fell swoop.This is a very big blow to Xie Shi who has been in Yangzhou for half a year.

Xie Shi was originally full of dissatisfaction with Song Dekang's arrival, but after seeing Song Dekang's methods, he was completely convinced.

When he went to Yangzhou, Xie Shi was full of fighting spirit.After returning from Yangzhou, Xie Shi was like a dog in mourning.

After returning to Beijing, Xie Shi felt that he was really an idiot as everyone said, otherwise he went to Yangzhou to quell the chaos for more than half a year and he still hadn't pacified it.

It wasn't until the news of the accident in Yangzhou's aristocratic family spread back to the capital, and he overheard the conversation between the eldest brother and the second brother, that Xie Shi knew that his going to Yangzhou to quell the chaos was a bureau, and he was just a cover.

At that time, he ran into the study angrily and asked his elder brother and second brother why they didn't tell him.His eldest brother and second brother said to tell him in advance that he would only ruin the emperor's plan.

When Xie Shi heard this, his eyes were red with anger, and he yelled at his elder brother and second elder brother.

Thinking back on this matter now, Xie Shi is still angry.

"Sister, brother, they know everything, but they don't tell us anything, they don't take us seriously at all."

Empress Xie clenched her right hand into a fist in anger, and beat the table next to her hard.

The tea cover on the table was hammered and fell off, which startled Xie Shi.

Xie Shi saw that Empress Xie's face was very ugly, and there was a look of fear on her face.

Empress Xie gritted her teeth and said, "Elder brother even kept this from me, he is really a good brother to me."

"That's right, it's okay for the elder brother to keep it from me, but he even hides it from you." Xie Shi said with hatred, "The elder brother is really too much."

"Sister, do you think the emperor sent me to Yangzhou to quell the chaos? Did the emperor discuss it with the elder brother?" The more Xie Shi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. .”

Empress Xie took a look at Xie Shi, and said bitterly, "If you go to Yangzhou to put an end to the chaos, big brother and they dare to underestimate you?"

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to quell the chaos, but that I..." Xie Shi was filled with unwillingness when he mentioned the quelling of chaos in Yangzhou.

"Why did Song Dekang put down the rebellious army as soon as he went to Yangzhou?" Empress Xie was full of anger, "And you have been there for more than half a year, but you have been tricked by the rebellious army?"

"I..." Xie Shi lowered his head and said with a very aggrieved expression, "How do I know..."

Empress Xie glared at Xie Shi bitterly, and said angrily: "It's not that you are useless." Because she was too angry, Empress Xie's head hurt a little.She hurriedly stretched her hand to her forehead.

Seeing Empress Xie holding her forehead, Jiang Chuan knew she had a headache.He hurriedly walked behind Empress Xie and reached out to massage Empress Xie's temples.

After being massaged by Jiang Chuan for a while, Empress Xie felt that her headache was much better, and waved to Jiang Chuan who was standing there stretching out her hand.

Jiang Chuan nodded, and then retreated respectfully.

"Sister, why do you despise me for being useless?" Xie Shi didn't feel aggrieved by being despised by other people for being useless, but he felt very aggrieved by being despised by Empress Xie.Since childhood, Empress Xie has always encouraged him and never disliked his stupidity.

"Aren't you?" Empress Xie saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou named Xie Shi to go to Yangzhou to quell the chaos. She was happy for Xie Shi and also for herself, thinking that Xie Shi could finally do something.She has great expectations for Xie Shi to go to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion, hoping that Xie Shi will succeed in suppressing the rebellion, so that Xie Shi can be reused by her elder brother and have a certain say in Xie's family.Unexpectedly, Xie Shi went to Yangzhou for more than half a year, and there was no good news at all.

Empress Xie asked fiercely: "Then tell me, why did Song Dekang find Dong Jin as soon as he went to Yangzhou, and successfully wiped out Dong Jin's gang?"

This question stopped Xie Shi, "I..."

"It's not that you are useless." Empress Xie took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "I shouldn't have counted on you."

"Sister, don't say that, I'm not useful this time, I'm still useful..." Xie Shi looked at Empress Xie pitifully, "I still want to help you."

Empress Xie's heart softened when she saw her brother's pitiful eyes, and her face softened a lot.

"You failed to quell the chaos in Yangzhou this time, and the emperor will not give you another chance to quell the chaos."

"No way?" Xie Shi said, "Going to Yangzhou to quell the chaos this time is obviously a mess."

Empress Xie didn't discuss this matter with Xie Shi again, "When you go back, call elder brother over, I want to have a good talk with elder brother." [Talk about] two words, Empress Xie bit them very hard.

"Sister, you should talk to elder brother properly." Xie Shi felt angry and aggrieved when he thought that elder brother and the others always kept things from them. "It's fine if the eldest brother doesn't tell me, but he has to tell you."

"Go back and call him now."

"Okay, I'll go back right away." Xie Shi was very happy when he thought that his elder brother would be scolded by Queen Xie later.

Xie Shi returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion with joy, "Brother, sister told you to go see her, go right now."

Seeing Xie Shi's schadenfreude, Duke Zhen guessed what he said in front of Empress Xie, and also knew why Empress Xie asked him to enter the palace.

Too lazy to talk to the childish younger brother, Duke Zhen changed into court clothes and was about to enter the palace to meet Empress Xie.

Xie Shi personally sent Zhen Guogong to the door, "Brother, I wish you good luck."

Duke Zhen laughed angrily at Xie Shi's joyful appearance.He glared at Xie Shi, turned around and got into the carriage.

After Zhen Guogong left, Xie Shi suddenly thought of something, and patted his forehead regretfully.He should have gone with his elder brother just now, so that he could see the scene of his eldest brother being taught by his sister.

How could he be so stupid to miss such a good opportunity?If he wants to follow into the palace now, it will definitely not work.

Xie Shi returned to his yard dejectedly.

Jiang Chuan was waiting for Duke Zhen at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.Seeing Lord Zhen Guo coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and bowed to Lord Zhen Guo.

"Duke, the empress is waiting for you."

Duke Zhen nodded his head lightly, and immediately followed Jiang Chuan into Zhaoyang Palace.

Seeing Empress Xie, Duke Zhen saluted respectfully: "I have seen Empress Empress."

Empress Xie pointed to the chair beside her and said flatly, "Sit down."

Jiang Chuan brought a cup of hot tea, "Duke, please use tea." After finishing speaking, she withdrew.

Duke Zhen didn't drink tea, he looked up at Empress Xie who was sitting on the top seat, and said straight to the point: "You came to me because of Yangzhou's affairs, right?"

"You know that Xie Shi's going to Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion is a situation, why didn't you tell me?" Empress Xie stared at Zhen Guogong, and said with a livid face, "Brother, do you still think I am your sister?"

"At the beginning, I didn't know that the emperor sent Xie Shi to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion. It was a bureau." Zhen Guogong said very sincerely, "I realized that this was a bureau after seeing that Xie Shi had not succeeded in suppressing the rebellion."

Empress Xie didn't believe Duke Zhen's words, she raised her mouth and sneered, "You can only lie to Xie Shi." Empress Xie's eyes suddenly became very sharp, "You sent Xie Shi to Yangzhou by name from the emperor. You know that the emperor deliberately arranged for Xie Shi to go to Yangzhou when you suppressed the rebellion, so you know that the Yangzhou rebellion is tricky."

"Xie Shi went to Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion for more than half a year without success, but you didn't say a word." Empress Xie only remembered the abnormality of Zhen Guogong after learning about Yangzhou, and realized that Zhen Guo The public has long known that Yangzhou's suppression of the rebellion is a bureau. "With your temper, Xie Shi went to Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion without success for three months. You would definitely send other people to Yangzhou to help Xie Shi, but you didn't."

Being told by Queen Xie, Lord Zhen didn't show any embarrassment or stiffness.He said very calmly: "Since you know, why do you need to ask more questions?"

Seeing Duke Zhen's calm appearance, Empress Xie yelled angrily, "Brother!"

Jiang Chuan and the others guarding the door trembled when they heard Queen Xie's roar.However, Lord Zhen was not in the least disturbed.

"What are you so angry about?"

"Brother, why didn't you tell me?" Empress Xie's face was gloomy, "Is it fun for you to tease me and Xie Shi like this?"

"Teasing?" Lord Zhen Guo looked at his angry younger sister and said with a chuckle, "What am I teasing you for?"

"You clearly know..." Empress Xie stopped here when she said this.

"What is your purpose for asking Xie Shi to quell the chaos, I know." Duke Zhen finished what Queen Xie had left to say, "If I told you that Xie Shi went to quell the chaos, wouldn't you be very disappointed?"

What was in his heart was said sharply by Lord Zhen Guo, and Empress Xie's face became a little distorted.

"Since you know everything, why do you still... Big brother, I am your real sister!"

　There are only two updates today.The second update will be later, I am working hard to code.

　　Xie Shi: Sis, you must scold your elder brother well.

　　Duke Zhen: Hehe!

　　Shark knocks rice bowl JPG: Ask for a monthly pass!
