Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 208

Zhuang Xun showed that he was supported by the gods. Who was the most frightened person? It was not Zhao Guo, who had known about it for a long time, nor Cheng Guo, who had been mentally prepared.

At most, they were shocked that Si Qinmi came back from the dead and confirmed the relationship between Zhuang Xun and the King of Hell. King Cheng was sure that he was alive because of Zhuang Xun.

The ones who were really shocked were King Donghua and Lu Buming, the two people who reacted the most to the news.

The first was King Donghua. He relied on Zhao Guo's promise and the support of the country's big families to gain a foothold. The heavy snowfall also saved him in a sense.

Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan's attacks were blocked, allowing his small regime to continue, because both parties were so powerful that they could attack the city and seize territory.

Later, we learned that Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan seemed to be inseparable, but King Donghua still had no sense of security, and even had a strong sense of crisis.

Because both Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan had the ability to deal with him at once, without the interference of another person, this was foreseeable, and he admitted that he felt guilty.

Although the two seemed to be inseparable and left King Donghua behind, it did not mean that King Donghua was willing to sit back and wait for death. There was no guarantee when Zhao Guo's promise would be realized. The so-called preservation of the throne forever required their hands.

Zhuang Xun has made it clear that I am orthodox and will fight to the death with King Donghua's powerful family. There is absolutely no way for him to make peace with Zhuang Xun, because to make peace with Zhuang Xun, the people below him will rebel first.

The peasants in the villages were divided into acres, the gentry were all paid for the food, and they did not shy away from their hostile attitude towards the big family, forcing the people of the big family to stand on his opposite side.

He could hold on to these things originally, but he couldn't hold back about Si Qin Mi's resurrection from the dead. For him, the important point was not Si Qin Mi, but the resurrection from the dead.

Again, who is not afraid of being liquidated after death? Zhuang Xun almost openly told others that he was connected with the underworld.

King Donghua suddenly felt his head buzzing, and thought of King Yu's abnormal actions. It must be that he knew that Zhuang Xun had such a relationship, so he could make such a move to give away the throne, and write a letter to persuade him to surrender.

King Donghua is worried about how to deal with it. Is it a wise choice to confront Zhuang Xun, who is protected by the gods? After all, people always have to die.

"Ask Qian Xinzhao to come see Gu." He planned to test the attitude of these big families.

As the heads of the big families were killed by King Yu, a new generation of talents took their places. The most outstanding one was naturally Qian Xinzhao, who originally wanted to recommend Xiaolian to Yin Dufu but was intercepted by Zhuang Xun. .

He is ruthless, unscrupulous, and his ability to flatter and climb the ladder is deeply loved by King Donghua, and he serves as King Donghua's most relied upon consultant.

After seven or eight years, Qian Xinzhao also grew into a middle-aged appearance. At the same time, he was also the spokesperson of the aristocratic family, so King Donghua came to him to seek the opinions of the aristocratic family.

"Have you heard about the rumors in Hengdu?" King Donghua handed the letter of information to Qian Xizhao.

"I've heard a little bit about it." Qian Xinzhao's expression froze. How could something like resurrection from the dead escape the intelligence network of these big families.

But it was not good news for Qian Xizhao, because he had a big grudge against Zhuang Xun, a very big grudge.

He was considered the mastermind of the Wanshou Banquet's frame-up, and later he had people kill Zhuang Xun who stayed in Yindu. All failed, but Liang Zi ended up with it.

They used many methods to deal with Zhuang Xun, but they were all blocked by Siqin Mi and King Yu, plus the system implemented by Zhuang Xun later.

The better Zhuang Xun got, the worse Qian Xinzhao's mood became. Zhuang Xun played the god's blessing card, and his mood became extremely bad.

But King Donghua didn't know. He didn't know about the private conflicts between Qian Xinzhao and Zhuang Xun, so he expected Qian Xinzhao to give him some reference opinions.

"What should we do? Zhuang Xun has the support of the gods. Can he compromise? After all, after everyone goes west..."

Many people are fearless in life because they know that no one can punish them, but after death, it is the fear of the unknown.

"Your Highness, you must not..." Qian Xizhao was startled and quickly stopped him.

"Ah, why? Is there anything wrong?" King Donghua did not expect Qian Xinzhao's reaction to be so violent.

"Your Highness, if you compromise, the legal system of the Yu Kingdom will be completely cut off. The so-called people are treated as slaves and others as fish and meat. Don't look at Zhuang Xun's preferential treatment to King Yanghua now. It is just to lure you into taking the bait."

Qian Xizhao looked for reasons. If King Donghua wanted to surrender, what situation would he be put in? He didn't know if Zhuang Xun knew that the killer was sent by him, but the conflict at the Wanshou Banquet would definitely be affected.

"Furthermore, this kind of thing is just catching wind and shadow. There are so many spells in the Immortal family. It is not necessarily the resurrection of Si Qin Mi. It is also possible that outsiders think it is Si Qin Mi through disguise, borrowing the name of the gods to stabilize the rule. , Zhuang Xun’s men are all newly incorporated lands, and their hearts are not attached to them.”

The more Qian Xinzhao said, the more sense he made. He denied Zhuang Xun's actions and came up with a purpose of his own. There was no problem with the logic, but it was not the case, and Qian Xinzhao knew it.

However, King Donghua just lacked a reason to convince himself. Seeing Qian Xinzhao's huge reaction, it was difficult to refute.

He followed Qian Xinzhao's words and tried to ask Qian Xinzhao according to his logic: "It doesn't matter if you are alone, even if your opinions have to be considered, after all, you can't be delayed. If the lonely king harms you, the lonely king will I feel guilty."

What he feels guilty about is simply because he is cowardly, so what does it mean to embarrass a great appointment, and why is King Yu unwilling to give the throne to King Donghua.

How could King Yu give the throne to such a person who was greedy enough, wanted to be an emperor and had troops to respect himself, but had no courage, would be soft when encountering big problems, would shrink back when he heard that Zhuang Xun had the support of the gods, and would not dare to fight against him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are all united. Don't say we don't know whether Si Qin Mi's resurrection from the dead is true or false. Even if it is true, we are not willing to betray His Highness and are willing to advance and retreat together with His Highness."

Qian Xinzhao said solemnly, showing the image of a loyal minister, but in fact he was just fighting against Zhuang Xun in the name of King Donghua.

But it was difficult for both parties to point it out. Seeing Qian Xizhao's resolute attitude, King Donghua could only smile and admire Qian Xinzhao.

"I am so lucky to have a direct and lone minister like Xin Zhao. We, the emperor and our ministers are all united, why should we be afraid of a false emperor and traitor like Zhuang Xun."

"Zhuang Xun has acted in a perverse manner, and people and gods are angry, and the public resentment is boiling. Now everyone is waiting for an opportunity. As long as he declines, he will definitely be overthrown by people with lofty ideals."

Qian Xinzhao swore that it was indeed true as he said. Many aristocratic family members would be troubled if they saw Zhuang Xun's decline, provided they felt that Zhuang Xun was really in decline.

It will fall down with one push, otherwise the aristocratic families in Xia Kingdom will be frightened quails. If you want them to help, don't even think about it.Is it because Li Rusi's blade is not sharp enough?

I haven’t seen King You’s cruelty. Isn’t King You’s body eye-catching?

No, then where do they get the courage? They are just sitting on the fence. They will help whoever wins. If King Donghua comes back, the aristocratic families will naturally be happy.

But if you can't come back, it's not like you can't work under Zhuang Xun. It just won't be as easy as before. Zhuang Xun still values ​​talents.

In summary, Qian Xizhao's words were just comforting nonsense, but King Donghua, who did not understand the situation, did feel that he had a slight chance of winning.

This is also his persistence, because Zhuang Xun cannot win the "popular support", and he has the support of a big family and the "popular support". He feels that the one who wins the popular support will win the world. He is in trouble now, but he will be able to defeat Zhuang Xun sooner or later.

Moreover, there is a promise from the State of Zhao that as long as the State of Zhao is free, it will definitely deal with Zhuang Xun and retain his status as a king. He has delayed ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor because he is afraid of offending the State of Zhao.

But things are different now. On the surface, Zhuang Xun is protected by gods, so he doubts himself. Xin Zhao also comes to strengthen his confidence because he really wants to surrender.

"That's right, Zhuang Xun is going against the grain, and there will be no good results. How could the gods be so blind as to fall in love with him? He has cheated on someone else's wife, that idiot Lu Buming, and he doesn't even know that his family has been robbed."

With the prerequisite arguments to support him, King Donghua became confident again, seizing on Zhuang Xun's personal ethics attack, forgetting what his own personal ethics was like. Of course he didn't know that in the eyes of the gods, even in the eyes of Ge Guoshi, he was unable to hold up the wall. That kind of person feels good about himself and is in the mood to laugh at others.

"Yes, Zhuang Xun is a rogue who steals people, and the gods have taken a fancy to him. If the gods want to support him, they also support His Highness. Your Highness Wenzhi's martial arts is hundreds of times better than Zhuang Xun, a man who only knows how to rely on women. "

Qian Xinzhao agreed and complimented King Donghua. He was relieved to see that King Donghua gave up the idea of ​​surrender and picked up good words.

"Xinzhao, you are right. Even the solitary king has not received the support of the gods, so why should Zhuang Xun do it?" The ignorant King Donghua was so bold that he thought Qian Xinzhao was right, so he actually approved it.

In my heart, I didn't have any weight, and thinking about it, I was surrounded by the traitors and traitors all the time, praising my wisdom and prowess, and I couldn't make any mistakes, so I naturally became restless.

Qian Xinzhao is a bad guy, but he still has some ideas in his heart. He deceived Queen Donghua, but he still did not solve the problem of Zhuang Xun being blessed by the gods. He just persuaded King Donghua to ignore this problem and deceived King Donghua. But he couldn't fool himself.

"Your Highness, can you ask Mrs. Jiang whether Zhao is blessed by gods? If Zhao is not blessed by gods, then Zhuang Xun's statement is probably a lie. If Zhao is blessed by gods, then regardless of whether it is true or not, we have surrendered to Zhao. The president can't ignore us, we still need to contain Zhuang Xun."

Qian Xinzhao thought for a while and said that at present, King Donghua can only ask Zhao Guo. Now Donghua King has no room for maneuver. The endorsement of Zhao Guo will help King Donghua stop thinking about things.

"Yes, yes, Zhao is so powerful, so he must know more information." King Donghua's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself.

"So Your Highness should not surrender easily. Zhuang Xun can commit the crime of stealing a woman's wife. Just imagine what will happen if we fall into his hands."

In order to strengthen King Donghua's belief and prevent him from wavering, Qian Xinzhao threatened. King Donghua nodded hurriedly, falling into Qian Xinzhao's rhythm. He already listened to what Qian Xinzhao said.

The protagonist of the discussion was stunned when he heard the news that Si Qin Mi was alive.

"What are you talking about? King Xia's queen is Siqin Mi."

Being placed under house arrest in the mansion, the guards discussed the news that was delivered to Yindu. After Zhuang Xun was granted the title of General, the queen he was granted was Si Qinmi.

This itself was a rumor circulated by the people of Yindu, but now it has been confirmed, and it has aroused people's enthusiasm.

The guards who were guarding were also talking about it, especially since they were at the place where the story took place. Isn't this a reenactment of the scene?
Their discussion was somewhat intended to ridicule Lu Buming, and as expected, Lu Buming was hooked.

"King Xia, you are the emperor, your majesty, and the holy king. You thief, please be careful what you say." The guard scolded him, his eyes bulging and looking ferocious.

His family was allocated the land given by Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun was the reborn parent. How could he allow others to be disrespectful to Zhuang Xun.

Lu Buming's neck shrank, his excitement dissipated for a moment, and he dared not speak.

"It is rumored that she is your wife. Haha, she deserves it. His Majesty brought her back from the underworld. In return for His Majesty's kindness, she became His Majesty's wife. Your Majesty is so lucky."

However, these guards themselves wanted to know some things. Because of gossip, they took the initiative to tell Lu Buming that they were not the most senior guards. They had a sense of confidentiality and did not want to know too much.

"What are you envious of? You dared to risk the public opinion of the people of Xihe to collect the body of the Empress?" Another guard retorted.

"So His Majesty is the best among men. We can only look at this. The two ladies are laughing at His Majesty's useless embrace."

Vicious words penetrated Lu Buming's ears, and he couldn't help shouting: "Fake, fake... Mi'er is already dead, and her head has been cut off. How can she still be alive?"

"Don't you understand? The emperor of the underworld took pity on your majesty's true feelings and allowed the queen to return to the sun and help your majesty ascend to the throne."

When the guard said this, he felt a state of both disbelief and belief. It was too magical. Many people in Yindu saw Siqin Mi being beheaded. Zhuang Xun's funeral attracted many people's attention.

Siqin Mi's death was confirmed, and then Zhuang Xun buried Siqin Mi. Finally, there was an extra wife inexplicably. I didn't think about it before, but now after communicating with each other, it became clear that Zhuang Xun came from a wealthy family out of nowhere. Madam, who else is there besides Si Qinmi?

She was praised by Zhuang Xun at the Wanshou Banquet. She was well-educated and virtuous, but Zhuang Xun didn't care about her appearance. These doubts were not felt before, but now they are full of fishiness.

Zhuang Xun's reputation has declined, but suddenly he has become more popular with the people, but most people talk about it in a joking way.

"Impossible, impossible, Mi'er is dead, impossible..." Lu Buming couldn't believe how there could be such a thing as the resurrection of the dead.

"She is dead. Don't lie to me. She is already dead." He was short and anxious. He was anxious. Si Qinmi's name awakened his memory, and he thought of the agreement to meet in Huangquan.

"This man is crazy." The guard who still wanted to know what Zhuang Xun was doing when he flirted with Si Qinmi was disappointed.
