Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return
Chapter 76 Queen Xiao, you don’t want to see your grandson either
Chapter 76: Queen Xiao, you don’t want to see your grandson either…
"How can I be sure, you will release Zheng Dao after you get it!"
Queen Xiao's eyes were panicked.
After the death of the first emperor, the royal family withered, and only her grandson Yang Zhengdao was left as her real relative.
People live their whole lives not for money but for love.
She is a lover and doesn't want political troubles!
As long as grandson Yang Zhengdao is safe, he is willing to sacrifice everything.
Can!
Empress Xiao didn't dare to bet that King Chu would really let go of his politics after getting it.
"Queen Xiao, you are a bit verbose."
"If I get what I want, I will naturally let your grandson go. As for hiding him, I, to be honest, the power is not yours, and you have no right to choose."
Li Kuan thought for a while and continued: "Seeing that you are still hesitating, I think it's better to bring Yang Zhengdao over and see how he is tortured in front of you."
Queen Xiao's eyes were red and she shook her head crazily: "No, I'll give it! I'll give it to you!!"
When she said these words, her body trembled.
Before his death, the late emperor asked her to keep the jade seal, hoping to one day regain the Sui Dynasty.
Although it is unrealistic to take it back now, it is the only relic of the late emperor, and Empress Xiao can also see the hope in the late emperor's eyes before his death.
after all…….
The Great Sui Dynasty was defeated again and again, and had to rely on Turks to survive. Now even the last thing, the imperial seal, cannot be saved...
There was deep reluctance in her eyes.
It used to be said that the Great Sui Dynasty could not be restored, but with the jade seal in hand, who could not have any hope?
And now...
Dream….it’s time to wake up….
She shed tears with hatred, and then in front of Li Kuan, she took out a jade box beside her and hugged it. This might be the last time in her life that she hugged it tightly. Slowly, step by step, she walked to Li Kuan. wide front.
up close.
From Li Kuan's perspective, it can be seen that she seems to have aged by more than ten years, and a lot of energy and spirit have been drained from her body.
Even so, Empress Xiao, who was well-known throughout the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was still so glamorous and charming.
Even though Li Kuan had experienced all kinds of beauty that a young woman should have in his wife Du Ruyan, he was also distracted by the beauty of Queen Xiao.
So beautiful, so beautiful….
At this time, Empress Xiao didn't think so much.
Walked up to Li Kuan.
bow.
kneel down.
Open the jade box.
There were tears in his eyes, and his hands were raised high.
"King Chu, here is the jade seal. I hope you will let my grandson go!"
"The Great Sui Dynasty is over. He cannot pose any threat to your rule!"
Empress Xiao was weeping and complaining, her voice was longing.
How could Li Kuan have the heart to listen to Empress Xiao's words? From the moment she opened the jade box, her eyes were deeply attracted by the authentic jade seal passed down from the country.
National Jade Seal.
Ordered by the heavens, life will last forever....
Throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have fought over this thing and these eight words!
Li Kuan's eyes became unusually hot, and he carefully picked up the Chuan Guo Yuxi with his right hand.
It is said that when Wang Mang usurped the throne, he forced the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal. The queen mother threw the jade seal to the ground in anger. A corner of the jade seal was broken. She later repaired it with gold, but it still left flaws.
Li Kuan turned over the jade seal, and there was indeed a missing corner, which was shining golden.
"Hahahaha, this is Yuxi."
"This king, it's time to proclaim yourself emperor!!"
He laughed, laughed wantonly, laughed so proudly, ignored Queen Xiao, and walked outside with Yuxi.
outside.
There was no one when he came, but now there were hundreds of bloody white-robed guards outside.
Li Kuan held the jade seal high.
Those people, his soldiers, all stared at the thing on King Chu's head with burning eyes.
Subsequently.
A sound like a bell sounded.
"To pass on my will, today, I am in Yanyun City, holding the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and founding the country!"
"The dynasty is in flames!"
"The flames come from me!"
The sound was obviously not loud, but to the ears of these white-robed guards, it seemed like the sound of billowing from the sky, and it seemed as if the world was silent except for that majestic sound.
"Boom boom boom..."
The white-robed guards present were all half-kneeling on the ground, staring at the man with fanatical eyes.
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
This is their emperor, a true emperor in every sense of the word. They are willing to shed their blood for the Yan Empire and let the empire's territory continue to expand until the last drop of blood is shed!
Behind him, General Bai Hu, who had just rushed over after imprisoning Yang Zhengdao, was slightly shocked when he saw this scene of everyone half-kneeling.
And when he saw the man holding the most precious thing in the world, he suddenly realized, and his eyes became moist.
Once a child, he...
Proclaimed emperor...
………………………….
Yanyun City.
Although the overall situation has been decided, Yanyun City is the base camp that the Yang family has operated for many years, so there are still some things that General Baihu and others need to take care of.
This dark night is not peaceful yet.
Li Kuan, on the other hand, looked at all this indifferently. He sat on the dragon chair that originally belonged to Yang Zhengdao. He only felt that the dragon chair should belong to him.
at the same time.
There was a voice in my head.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. 】
[Congratulations to the host for becoming the lord of Yanyun City, obtaining the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and establishing his own kingdom. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5000 Wei soldiers. 】
[Congratulations to the host for winning the famous general, Xin Qiji. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Li Shizhen, Guo Shoujing, Shen Kuo, and Song Yingxing. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining three hundred pounds of potato seeds. 】
As the sound falls, the next check-in location is refreshed.
But Li Kuan didn't look, but was taking a closer look at the rewards.
Needless to say, Wei Wuzu and Xin Qiji are both household names.
Speaking of the four talents, it may be a little strange.
But speaking of their works, it can be said that they are like thunder, not worse than Xin Qiji, and even better.
Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" is rich in content and combines the culmination of scientific achievements of previous generations. It is called a "milestone in the history of science."
Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is even more famous.
Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" is known as the encyclopedia of craftsmanship.
Maybe Guo Shoujing is a little unfamiliar, but this old man is a serious astronomer, and he is also a master of mathematics, water conservancy engineering and other industries!
Li Kuan immediately summoned them.
In an instant, a group of people appeared in front of his eyes, all five thousand Wei soldiers half-kneeled on the ground, followed by Xin Qiji, Li Shizhen and other five people half-kneeling.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"......."
The voice was neat and loud, just like one person.
Even a layman can see that this army has strict military discipline.
"Hahaha, good!"
"Everyone, go down, Mr. Xin. You will take them down to see Ziyun. He will arrange things for you!"
Li Kuan laughed loudly.
Xin Qiji took the order and immediately took everyone and the potato seeds down.
When they retreated, they happened to be seen by Empress Xiao, who was being led to see King Chu.
Groups of unfamiliar soldiers filed out of Yanyun Palace and finally left directly.
overall….
Murderous.
Like a heavenly soldier.
Queen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
These soldiers...are also...the King of Chu's?
She frowned and couldn't believe it at all.
According to the information given by the Turks, the King of Chu clearly had only nearly [-] cavalry. Where did the infantry come from?
Moreover, the evil aura on these infantrymen was so terrifying that even she, who was accustomed to the world, was frightened.
Empress Xiao was certain that she had never seen such tough infantry in her life.
The king of Chu, how did he form it!
Did he really...really enter the Turks as a proton?Not as a conqueror! ?
This time.
Empress Xiao was completely at a loss.
The king of Chu's previous act of proclaiming himself emperor actually made Empress Xiao despised.
After all, this temptation is great, but it is not something that ordinary people can bear. It may be a reminder.
Just like Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms, he clearly had a good situation, but after he became emperor because of the imperial seal, he was besieged on all sides, and the country eventually died out of hatred.
The title of emperor is too heavy...
The King of Chu only had more than ten thousand or even less than ten thousand cavalry. How could he protect the title of emperor?
And after seeing this group of tough infantry, she was unsure...
It wasn't because of how scary these tough infantry were. In fact, they were indeed scary, but not enough to scare Queen Xiao.
What frightened her was that the King of Chu was able to attack Yanyun City today beyond everyone's expectation, and he was also able to form such a terrifying infantry force unexpectedly.
What about after that?
What else can he...form?
The unknown is the scariest thing.
Queen Xiao's beautiful eyes trembled.
In the past, hearing about the King of Chu was terrifying and terrifying, but after all, it was just word of mouth.
Now, after experiencing it for herself, she realized... those rumors, after all, still underestimated King Chu...
King of Chu...
This man, this man...
He shouldn't... appear in this world!
"King Chu, King Chu... Why in the world are there such terrifying people as you?"
Queen Xiao lamented, feeling that it was extremely sad that Yanyun City had become the enemy of King Chu.
"Queen Xiao, it's time to go. Don't you want to see your grandson?"
The white-robed guard escorting her urged her.
Queen Xiao nodded hurriedly and said in a soft voice: "Come right now!"
Following the white-robed guard into the palace, the first thing Empress Xiao saw was Yang Zhengdao being tied up.
Her beautiful eyes suddenly moistened, and she said heartbreakingly: "Zhengdao!!"
She ran over.
On the way, a white-robed guard wanted to stop him, but Li Kuan looked at him and signaled him to retreat.
Empress Xiao rushed to Yang Zhengdao, held him in her arms, looked left and right, and said worriedly: "How are you, Zhengdao, are you injured anywhere?"
Yang Zhengdao shook his head with blank eyes, and then said: "Grandma Huang, I'm fine, it was uncle Yang Zhengfa who betrayed us! He betrayed our entire Yang clan, and also my Yanyun City! I will kill him sooner or later!! "
He seemed to be blinded by hatred, unable to recognize the current situation, and thinking about killing Yang Zhengfa one day.
When Queen Xiao heard this, she felt pain in her heart.
Silly boy, we can't do it...
How can we, orphans and widowed mothers, kill people from that terrifying King of Chu?
She shook her head helplessly, but said comfortingly, "Well, we can."
Yang Zhengdao's eyes were blood red, but he became gentle when he looked at Queen Xiao: "Grandma Huang, just now I saw the King of Chu holding the Imperial Seal in his hand. Did he snatch it from you? Or did you give it to him?"
Queen Xiao was speechless.
Look embarrassed.
Yang Zhengdao understood something instantly, and his eyes became fierce: "You gave it to me! Grandma Huang, didn't I ask you to keep the jade seal well? Didn't my grandfather, my father and others also ask you to keep the jade seal well!!"
"You didn't keep it safe and gave it back to the thief. Why? Why?"
"You shouldn't give it away, you shouldn't give it away..."
"Even you betrayed me? Betrayed Yanyun City?"
Yang Zhengdao covered his head with a look of pain on his face.
Seeing her grandson in such pain, Queen Xiao shed tears as if she wanted no money: "Silly child, I want to save you, I..."
"Do not touch me!!"
It seemed that multiple blows drove Yang Zhengdao into madness. He stared at Queen Xiao with blood-red eyes: "You are a sinner! Grandma Huang, you are a sinner just like Yang Zhengfa!!"
"Grandpa Yang Guang should not have let you keep the jade seal in the first place, and I should not have let you keep it either. You have failed to live up to our expectations of you!!"
"You and that Yang Zhengfa are the same thing! Damn it! Damn it!!"
Yang Zhengdao's words were like sharp arrows that stabbed deeply into Empress Xiao's heart. One after another, the more they stung, the more painful they became.
She burst into tears, her red lips were trembling: "Zheng Dao, I... Zheng Dao, you guys, where are you taking him!!"
She still wanted to explain, but the white-robed guards had already suppressed Yang Zhengdao.
Yang Zhengdao, who was being escorted away, looked at her with hatred in his eyes, without the respect he had in the past, and looked like something she had never known before.
"Zhengdao, Zhengdao!!"
Empress Xiao, who was lying on the ground, burst into tears. Even if Yang Zhengdao hated her, she still wanted to reach out and grab this grandson again.
In the end, Yang Zhengdao was taken down.
Queen Xiao immediately glared at King Chu and shouted hoarsely: "King Chu, where are you taking Zhengdao? Give him back to me!!"
Li Kuan said calmly: "Queen Xiao, you seem to...not understand the situation clearly. Let me help you understand it."
After waving his hand, a white-robed guard immediately walked toward Queen Xiao with a large package.
He stopped in front of Queen Xiao, and then opened the package.
"Boom boom boom..."
Bloody human heads fell to the ground in rounds, rolling all over the ground.
Queen Xiao was shocked and took a few steps back in fear.
She knew all these people, they were all members of the Yang family.
"King Chu, you!"
Queen Xiao looked at King Chu this time with nothing but fear and trembling in her eyes.
Li Kuan said with a smile: "The Yang clan, apart from Yang Zhengfa's family, only you and Yang Zhengdao are left."
"You bought your grandson's life with the imperial seal, but this does not mean that his life is safe. Queen Xiao, do you understand this matter?"
Empress Xiao gritted her teeth: "Are you going to break your promise? Do what the Jin Dynasty Sima did? Then your Yan Kingdom will be vulnerable! If you don't keep your oath, God will accept you!!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "I will not kill Yang Zhengdao, but if any of my blind soldiers or people kill Yang Zhengdao, then there is nothing I can do."
Queen Xiao's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
"King Chu, you, you are shameless!!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Then, do you dare to bet?"
bet?
How dare she bet?
She gave everything to the King of Chu, and even her grandson hated her, just to keep her grandson Yang Zhengdao safe.
After all she had done, if her grandson's life could not be saved, then she had failed miserably!
"King Chu, what do you want?"
Empress Xiao took a deep breath and wiped her tears. She knew that the King of Chu must have something to ask, so she said that.
Li Kuan looked at her and said with a calm smile: "My Yan Kingdom has just been established, and the number of my subjects plus the Han slaves who liberated Yanyun City can only exceed [-]."
"As for the original people of Yanyun City, there are Han people and Turkic people. Yang Zhengfa told me that the total number is about 30."
"These 30 people will know what happened tonight. I want Yang Zhengdao to abdicate and designate me as the new Emperor of Yanyun City!"
"Of course, given his situation, it is impossible for him to help, so this matter needs you, Queen Xiao, to complete!"
"Queen Xiao, your reputation in Yanyun City is high enough, even higher than Yang Zhengdao, so you are qualified to replace him!"
This is just a stopgap measure.
The original residents of Yanyun City, many men from their families died under Li Kuan's army, so they hated him so much that they couldn't coexist.
Knowing that coexistence is impossible, the reason for doing this is because Yang Zhengdao passed it on to him in the name of orthodoxy. Then some of the original residents of Yanyun City would brainwash themselves. It was just that there was a different emperor, and it was no different from when Yang Zhengdao was in power. Therefore, there was no Feelings of resistance.
And when Li Kuan takes the time to get rid of those who are resisting the most, he can then start dealing with these people.
In other words, clear it out step by step.
Queen Xiao looked at King Chu angrily and gritted her teeth: "I will help you!"
"So, King Chu, when did you let go of politics!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's about to happen. It depends on your performance, Queen Xiao."
While talking, he kept looking at Queen Xiao's perfect figure.
Queen Xiao seemed to realize something and said in horror: "You! King Chu, do you want me?"
Li Kuan nodded: "Yes, in order to increase your credibility, tomorrow you will announce that I will succeed Yanyun City and change the country's name to Yanwai. You will also announce that you will marry me and become my concubine."
"You want to be my concubine, so isn't it natural for me to want you?"
"Of course, I will tell you this straight away. I added it myself. After all, you are so beautiful, and I will be tempted by you."
Empress Xiao's eyes trembled: "No, you can't do this! I can't obey you, my heart belongs to the late emperor! How can I become your concubine! If you want me to become your concubine, I will die here. On the pillar, all your intentions will not be realized!!"
She thought this could scare King Chu and protect her passionate love for the late emperor.
but.
After all, it was just what she thought, just what she thought...
When Li Kuan heard this, he didn't even frown. He lay down on the dragon chair, supported his right cheek with his right hand and said: "Then Yang Zhengdao, there is only one way to die. Is this what you want to see? Queen Xiao. "
Boom! !
As soon as she heard that name, Queen Xiao felt like she was struck by five thunders.
Political way, political way...
She read the name with a sense of loss.
She loved the late emperor so much, and she was also the last orphan of the late emperor.
She promised the late Emperor Yang Guang that she would protect him, even if she had to pay all the costs.She has always done this, so even if Yang Zhengdao hated her so much just now, she would still protect him, because this was the late emperor's last wish.
Unwilling!
His face, belly and body were full of reluctance!
But, there is no way...
Empress Xiao lowered her head lonely, a strand of hair fell down in front of her forehead, looking extremely pitiful.
"King Chu, if I obey you, will you really let go of politics? Will you not regret it again?"
Empress Xiao looked at King Chu on the high platform.
That man is always so calm...
Even though her heart has been messed up now, she is still so peaceful, just like watching a play.
He really has committed a heinous crime!
But Empress Xiao has nothing to do.
Li Kuan lay on his side on the dragon chair, holding his right cheek with his hand: "Then it depends on your performance tonight, and even in the future."
Empress Xiao gritted her teeth: "You want to keep him imprisoned? No freedom?"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Yes, you can think of me as imitating Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty. Wasn't the last emperor of the Liu family also well taken care of by Cao Cao?"
"The difference between me and Cao Cao is that he must take good care of Emperor Liu because of his own ambition, while I have to take care of the Emperor Liu because of you."
"Queen Xiao, as long as you make me feel comfortable serving you, then Yang Zhengdao, I promise to live the same life as before. You can even marry a wife and have children, leaving an heir for your beloved late emperor Yang Guang."
When Queen Xiao heard this, her tears that had stopped falling once again were filled with tears of hatred.
Then, the second drop, the third drop...
Tears are falling like rain, and I can't stop them.
"I, I know."
She gritted her teeth and agreed.
Subsequently.
She was then taken to the palace by the maid, which belonged to Li Kuan, and was waiting for Li Kuan's arrival.
This night was destined to be her most humiliating night, and even in the future.
………………………….
The next day.
Yanyun City, the whole city gathered.
Many ordinary people looked at the soldiers around them, but they didn't know them, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"What's going on? Where are the guards from before?"
"Yes, yes! Where did Commander Cheng go? Who are these people!"
"This, these people's equipment, why are they so Han Chinese!"
"Look, it's Queen Xiao!"
"Yes, yes, but Queen Xiao, why do you see some bruises? Am I wrong?"
"......."
The people of Yanyun City talked a lot.
Although these guards didn't know each other, Empress Xiao and the others knew each other, so they couldn't help but feel at ease.
However, Queen Xiao's words surprised them.
"Everyone, citizens of Yanyun City, starting from today! The former emperor Yang Zhengdao is unable to continue to lead our Yanyun City due to physical reasons. Now, our Yanyun City will be succeeded by Yang Kuan, a clan member of the Yang family, as the next emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What, Yang Kuan? Who is Yang Kuan?"
"Which prince?"
They all knew very little about Yang Kuan.
And soon, the man named "Yang Kuan" appeared next to Queen Xiao, wearing a mask and wearing a black robe.
This man looked like Li Kuan, King of Chu, but he was soon amused by his own thoughts.
Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is still in Turkic now.
How could it be in Yanyun City!
Because Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao blocked the news before to prevent people from panicking, the people in Yanyun City at this time did not know that King Chu had escaped from the Turkic Grassland.
If they knew that King Chu fled from the Turks, they would most likely think of Li Kuan when they looked at the person in front of them.
But they don't know...
Therefore, no one thought about Li Kuan, Yanyun City's number one enemy.
Although the change of emperor this time was a bit sudden, people didn't think much about it. After all, no matter how the change happened, it was still in the hands of the Yang family.
Just like Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, the people of Chang'an City did not make much fuss. At the moment when Yang Zhengdao abdicated, there was no bloody incident, and there were not many people who resisted.
"in addition!!"
Queen Xiao spoke loudly again, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitant.
It wasn't until "Yang Kuan" glanced at her that Queen Xiao had tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth and said: "In addition, I will marry Yang Kuan in the near future, and will jointly lead Yanyun City with my husband Yang Kuan!! "
boom! !
These words are like pebbles falling into the lake, causing ripples.
Marry...marry Yang Kuan?
If they remember correctly, Empress Xiao was the wife of the late Emperor Yang Guang. Is she going to marry a member of the Yang family again?
stunned!
Shock!
Can't believe it! !
The people of Yanyun City were all shocked, and they couldn't help but sigh that the Yang clan was really good at playing games. The late Emperor Yang Guang also stole his father's concubines, and the same was true for the newly appointed Yang Kuan.
Really, very good at playing...
This can't help but become a joke among the people in Yanyun City after dinner.
After announcing the two things, Queen Xiao asked the people to retreat.
Seeing that King Chu was able to take over Yanyun City in a peaceful manner after the coup, Queen Xiao gritted her teeth and said: "Silver Thief, are you satisfied now?"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "You can't say that, Queen Xiao, no, it should be Concubine Xiao. This is our joint control of Yanyun City."
"Okay, you're tired, go down and rest, and get ready to marry me in a few days."
Queen Xiao did not retreat and glared at King Chu: "When can I see politics!"
"Meet him? Face to face?"
"if not?"
"I can confirm that your grandson doesn't want to see you. He hates you now."
"That's out of your control."
"...once every seven days, with a fence."
"Seven days? You..."
"Don't bargain with me, you should know why."
Queen Xiao was speechless.
Yes, myself, where do you get the bargaining rights?
If I hadn't made this guy comfortable last night, I might not have been able to see him even once in seven days.
After all...it is no one's fault.
Empress Xiao lamented: "I see, Yin..."
"Ok?"
"Husband... Husband."
Empress Xiao shouted awkwardly, feeling that saying these two words was more uncomfortable than anything else, but she had to say it.
"Hahaha, okay! This is my Concubine Xiao, please go down, I still have something to do."
Queen Xiao nodded and left with her maid in great loneliness.
There was sadness in her beautiful eyes.
from today.
Not only did Tai Sui become the past tense, even she, the former mother of Tai Sui, also became... the past tense...
Becoming the concubine of this damn King of Chu...
Thinking of this, Empress Xiao not only shed tears again, but her own fate is ultimately ill-fated...
After finally escaping from the Demon Cave of the Tang Dynasty, he spent a few years living a relaxed life, and fell into the hands of the Li Tang royal family again, falling into the abyss again...
…….….….….….
After sending Empress Xiao away, Xin Qiji soon came up.
"Your Majesty, do you want to start planning?"
Xin Qiji asked.
The plan is simple.
If the original people of Yanyun City were not appeased today, then the surrounding soldiers would start killing everyone.
And if he is appeased, then he will secretly start the elimination plan and eliminate those who hate King Chu the most one by one until there are no more restless elements.
Then when the Han people belonging to his King of Chu dominate Yanyun City, they can give up Yang Kuan's identity and return to Li Kuan.
"Go, be careful on the road."
Li Kuan didn't even look back.
Xin Qiji accepted the order and quickly retreated.
Li Kuan was still looking at the Nuo Dayan Cloud City from a high place. He closed his eyes and kept feeling that this city belonged to him. It stayed motionless for a long time...
And from today.
In Yanyun City, people will find that some people always disappear inexplicably, and there are even legends about ghosts catching people and returning them to the underworld at midnight.
From today on, Yanyun City will gradually become turbulent!Silent as a cicada!
People blamed this problem on the inaction of the previous leader, Yang Kuan. However, no one would have thought that it was not the emperor's inaction, but on the contrary, his actions were greater than anything else!
It's just that he regards these former Yanyun City people as enemies!
………………………….
Notices about Empress Xiao's marriage to Li Kuan were posted everywhere in Yanyun City.
When people saw it, they all sighed that Yang knew how to play. On the other hand, they couldn't help but be jealous of the newly appointed emperor.
Queen Xiao's beauty was ranked among the best in the entire Yanyun City, but as she was the late emperor's wife, and Yang Zhengdao was filial, no one dared to make an impression on her.
Who would have thought that the new emperor would be here?
And that’s what I thought on the first day. I have to say, I’m really anxious!
People are discussing the marriage between Empress Xiao and "Yang Kuan", but few people mention why Yang Zhengdao stepped down and why.
After all, Yang Zhengdao's topic level is not as high as Empress Xiao's!
The people of Yanyun City were still living in an unknowing environment, but General Baihu and the others were not idle. They sent the Han slaves rescued from Yanyun City to Floating Water Town, batch after batch.
Before Yanyun City was completely under control, Floating Water Town was still their temporary home.
However, when they settle in Yanyun City, they must do so before spring. After all, when spring comes, the Turks will have their own evil intentions.
A small floating town with no city walls could not stop the Turkic cavalry.
.
…….….….….….
Ten days passed.
Obviously there are only a dozen days, but Yanyun City seems to have spent an entire season, with various activities and eye-catching things happening one after another.
The most important thing is that the new emperor Yang Kuan married Empress Xiao as his concubine, which became a popular tea talk among people.
And at the same time.
The weird atmosphere in Yanyun City also spread to Tongwan City.
"Strange, why haven't Queen Xiao and the others come to contact me yet?"
Master Liang murmured.
In the past few months, because the King of Chu fled from the Turks, he made an agreement with Queen Xiao and others in Yanyun City to send spies to contact each other every half a month to ensure that everything was fine.
And now, three days have passed since the agreed date, and there is still no news.
Master Liang was a little panicked.
"General, don't worry. Maybe the snow is getting heavier and heavier, so the news over there is delayed."
Lu Jilan wasn't too worried.
After all, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. People are made of flesh after all, so it is normal for them to be delayed due to snow.
It's hard for people to walk under this snow. How could the King of Chu in Floating Water Town dare to attack the city in the snow?Not to mention that they are all cavalry, which is even more impossible.
Master Liang smiled and said, "Shang Shu said this, I feel more at ease, General."
"Report!!!"
At this moment, a scout ran over quickly with an anxious look on his face.
Master Liang and Lu Jilan were shocked. Master Liang said quickly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Report to the general. On the way to Yanyun City, our spies found a soldier in Yanyun City covered in blood. The spies sent someone to bring him back!"
Soldiers of Yanyun City!Covered in blood! !
Liang Shidu and Lu Jilan looked at each other one after another, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"Quickly, take this general over there!"
"Yes!!"
On the way, Master Liang asked, "Have you confirmed your identity? Are you from Yanyun City?"
"That's right, one of the spies happens to be his friend, and he can definitely be from Yanyun City."
"Over Yanyun City, what happened?"
"This... I don't know."
"Trash! A loser! Take this general over quickly!"
"Yes!!"
Bringing Liang Shidu and Lu Jilan to the Yanyun City soldiers, the scouts retired.
"General...general!"
The Yanyun City soldier with an injured leg saw Master Liang and ignored the pain. He stood up and hugged his leg and cried.
Master Liang was startled and asked quickly: "Tell me, what happened!"
"Dead, all dead!!"
The soldiers of Yanyun City burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Half a month ago, King Chu's men came into Yanyun City and killed all of us!"
"What!!" Master Liang's eyes widened in shock.
Next to him, Lu Jilan was always fanning elegantly, but this time he could no longer fan himself, and even the fan fell to the ground.
"King Chu! How did King Chu attack in!!"
"Last time, I heard from your spies that Yang Zhengdao, Queen Xiao and others had reinforced the city wall and recruited a lot of troops. How did the King of Chu attack in such a crazy weather!!"
Hearing this, the soldier cried even harder and said, "General, you don't know something!"
"The King of Chu is a cunning and insidious man. He instigated Yang Zhengfa to rebel. It was Yang Zhengfa's men who opened the door! The problem lies with the traitors!"
"He brought the King of Chu's people into the city, and the King of Chu slaughtered all of us soldiers who were loyal to Liang Guo, and killed all the Yang family members, leaving only Yang Zhengdao to threaten Empress Xiao."
Every sentence, every sound, is a bombshell.
Master Liang's eyes widened, feeling terrified, this King of Chu, this King of Chu...
He can also instigate a prince to rebel!
Why, so terrible....
"What about now? How are Queen Xiao, Yang Zhengdao and the others?"
The Yanyun City soldier cried: "Yang Zhengdao was controlled by the King of Chu and used to threaten Queen Xiao to give up the jade seal and other things."
"Empress Xiao had no choice but to give the jade seal, and agreed to the unreasonable request of King Chu, publicly announced Yang Zhengdao's abdication, let him succeed, and changed the country's name to Yan."
Hearing this, Master Liang grabbed him and stared wide-eyed: "The people of Yanyun City didn't resist? Amongst all the people in the Liang Kingdom, it was the people of Yanyun City who hated King Chu the most! After all, when King Chu attacked Yanyun City, many of their family members They all fought and died."
The soldier gritted his teeth and his voice became even sadder: "General, that villain, King Chu, is cheating! He disguised himself as Yang Kuan and pretended to be a relative of the Yang family to succeed to the throne, and then asked Queen Xiao to say in public that she would marry Chu king."
"The people of Yanyun City are simple and honest. They believed King Chu's lies. They were discussing the marriage between Queen Xiao and [Yang Kuan] these days, and no one thought about why Yang Zhengdao abdicated!"
Master Liang was stunned and stood there blankly, as if he had been given a binding talisman.
Yanyun City, one of the two most important cities in the Liang Kingdom, which was built at a huge cost, was just taken away by the King of Chu? !
There was fear in Lu Jilan's eyes, and he sighed: "King Chu's move is really flawless. If what I expected is correct, King Chu should be constantly cleaning up the people of Yanyun City who hate him, right?"
That was the disease and he nodded crazily: "Yes, yes, when I left, many people died. People didn't dare to mention it. If I mentioned it, they would disappear that night. Some people tried to organize, but sometimes traitors appeared in the organization, and sometimes there were traitors." His influence is not high, and sometimes he will be uprooted by the King of Chu if he is discovered.”
"The people of Yanyun City cannot be kept together at all. I could escape only if Queen Xiao happened to see me while walking down the street one day, and then arranged for me to escape from Yanyun City and bring the news to you, general."
When Master Liang heard this, he beat his hands in the air with anger: "King Chu, damn King Chu! Once this winter is over, I, the general, will take your head to comfort our tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Yanyun City!! "
"General, with your words, I feel relieved." As the soldier spoke, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Master Liang quickly supported him, his eyes were gentle: "You, what's wrong with you?"
The soldier vomited blood and said with a smile: "General, I... I'm fine. You must rescue Yanyun City and kill the traitor King Chu..."
"You are seriously injured, let's not talk about it, this general will take you to see a doctor."
"No, General!" The soldier grabbed Liang Shidu tightly, and continued to vomit blood, "You, promise me."
Master Liang suddenly burst into tears: "Okay, I, I promise you! I will definitely save the people of Yanyun City!"
The soldier smiled, as if it was sweeter than a child's smile: "Thank you, General."
"You don't know what kind of nightmare we have experienced. All the soldiers of Yanyun City were killed, and the people of Yanyun City were also constantly killed. Empress Xiao, who rescued me from the sea of misery like a reborn parent, also became the plaything of King Chu. "
"When she saw me at that time, I could see the sadness and tear ducts in her stunning face. She was in too much pain, and everyone in Yanyun City was in too much pain. Those damn Han people, under the leadership of King Chu, were marching forward step by step. Taking control of Yanyun City step by step, in an attempt to turn the people of Yanyun City into slaves."
"General, everything, damn, it's your fault..."
After the soldier finished speaking, it was as if the last light was extinguished, and he fell into Liang Shidu's arms with a smile on his face.
Master Liang hugged him, while Lu Jilan came over and opened the soldier's abdomen, and there was a wound that cut through the entire abdomen.
His eyes flickered.
"This kind of injury...he should have died long ago. It was his faith that supported him to Tongwan City."
Lu Jilan knew some medical skills, and because of his knowledge, he could better understand the soldier's passionate belief.
Master Liang heard that the soldier was dead, but he immediately let go of his arms and let the soldier fall on the cold snow.
His eyes filled with tears, turned cold, and he said: "Tell the Turks about this! Let's see what they say. If they attack Yanyun City in the spring, we will also help!"
Lu Jilan was not impressed by Master Liang's behavior and said, "So, don't we take back Yanyun City ourselves?"
"Take it back yourself?"
Master Liang's eyes were filled with fear, and he was deeply afraid: "Who gave us the courage to take back the courage? King Chu... This is not an enemy that our Liang Kingdom can defeat, even with all the strength of the Liang Kingdom!"
"If the Turks send troops to assist us, we will help them. If the Turks do not come, we will close the city gate tightly."
"In addition, Lu Shangshu, we need to learn from history. Yanyun City died internally. I hope you will personally investigate the internal affairs of our Tongwan City and not repeat the same mistakes again."
"The Liang Kingdom only has one Tongwan City, and I, Master Liang, only have one Tongwan City. You, Lu Shangshu, should be able to understand this matter."
Lu Jilan smiled and said: "Understood, General, I will investigate it personally."
They discussed some things again. The more they discussed, the more they became afraid of King Chu, now King Yan.
Why would such an enemy come to Liang State?
They were helpless.
And soon.
A letter was sent to Turk.
A few days later, the Turkic royal court received the letter, organized by Jieli Khan, and quickly gathered the eighteen grassland khans.

(End of this chapter)
"How can I be sure, you will release Zheng Dao after you get it!"
Queen Xiao's eyes were panicked.
After the death of the first emperor, the royal family withered, and only her grandson Yang Zhengdao was left as her real relative.
People live their whole lives not for money but for love.
She is a lover and doesn't want political troubles!
As long as grandson Yang Zhengdao is safe, he is willing to sacrifice everything.
Can!
Empress Xiao didn't dare to bet that King Chu would really let go of his politics after getting it.
"Queen Xiao, you are a bit verbose."
"If I get what I want, I will naturally let your grandson go. As for hiding him, I, to be honest, the power is not yours, and you have no right to choose."
Li Kuan thought for a while and continued: "Seeing that you are still hesitating, I think it's better to bring Yang Zhengdao over and see how he is tortured in front of you."
Queen Xiao's eyes were red and she shook her head crazily: "No, I'll give it! I'll give it to you!!"
When she said these words, her body trembled.
Before his death, the late emperor asked her to keep the jade seal, hoping to one day regain the Sui Dynasty.
Although it is unrealistic to take it back now, it is the only relic of the late emperor, and Empress Xiao can also see the hope in the late emperor's eyes before his death.
after all…….
The Great Sui Dynasty was defeated again and again, and had to rely on Turks to survive. Now even the last thing, the imperial seal, cannot be saved...
There was deep reluctance in her eyes.
It used to be said that the Great Sui Dynasty could not be restored, but with the jade seal in hand, who could not have any hope?
And now...
Dream….it’s time to wake up….
She shed tears with hatred, and then in front of Li Kuan, she took out a jade box beside her and hugged it. This might be the last time in her life that she hugged it tightly. Slowly, step by step, she walked to Li Kuan. wide front.
up close.
From Li Kuan's perspective, it can be seen that she seems to have aged by more than ten years, and a lot of energy and spirit have been drained from her body.
Even so, Empress Xiao, who was well-known throughout the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was still so glamorous and charming.
Even though Li Kuan had experienced all kinds of beauty that a young woman should have in his wife Du Ruyan, he was also distracted by the beauty of Queen Xiao.
So beautiful, so beautiful….
At this time, Empress Xiao didn't think so much.
Walked up to Li Kuan.
bow.
kneel down.
Open the jade box.
There were tears in his eyes, and his hands were raised high.
"King Chu, here is the jade seal. I hope you will let my grandson go!"
"The Great Sui Dynasty is over. He cannot pose any threat to your rule!"
Empress Xiao was weeping and complaining, her voice was longing.
How could Li Kuan have the heart to listen to Empress Xiao's words? From the moment she opened the jade box, her eyes were deeply attracted by the authentic jade seal passed down from the country.
National Jade Seal.
Ordered by the heavens, life will last forever....
Throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have fought over this thing and these eight words!
Li Kuan's eyes became unusually hot, and he carefully picked up the Chuan Guo Yuxi with his right hand.
It is said that when Wang Mang usurped the throne, he forced the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal. The queen mother threw the jade seal to the ground in anger. A corner of the jade seal was broken. She later repaired it with gold, but it still left flaws.
Li Kuan turned over the jade seal, and there was indeed a missing corner, which was shining golden.
"Hahahaha, this is Yuxi."
"This king, it's time to proclaim yourself emperor!!"
He laughed, laughed wantonly, laughed so proudly, ignored Queen Xiao, and walked outside with Yuxi.
outside.
There was no one when he came, but now there were hundreds of bloody white-robed guards outside.
Li Kuan held the jade seal high.
Those people, his soldiers, all stared at the thing on King Chu's head with burning eyes.
Subsequently.
A sound like a bell sounded.
"To pass on my will, today, I am in Yanyun City, holding the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and founding the country!"
"The dynasty is in flames!"
"The flames come from me!"
The sound was obviously not loud, but to the ears of these white-robed guards, it seemed like the sound of billowing from the sky, and it seemed as if the world was silent except for that majestic sound.
"Boom boom boom..."
The white-robed guards present were all half-kneeling on the ground, staring at the man with fanatical eyes.
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
This is their emperor, a true emperor in every sense of the word. They are willing to shed their blood for the Yan Empire and let the empire's territory continue to expand until the last drop of blood is shed!
Behind him, General Bai Hu, who had just rushed over after imprisoning Yang Zhengdao, was slightly shocked when he saw this scene of everyone half-kneeling.
And when he saw the man holding the most precious thing in the world, he suddenly realized, and his eyes became moist.
Once a child, he...
Proclaimed emperor...
………………………….
Yanyun City.
Although the overall situation has been decided, Yanyun City is the base camp that the Yang family has operated for many years, so there are still some things that General Baihu and others need to take care of.
This dark night is not peaceful yet.
Li Kuan, on the other hand, looked at all this indifferently. He sat on the dragon chair that originally belonged to Yang Zhengdao. He only felt that the dragon chair should belong to him.
at the same time.
There was a voice in my head.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. 】
[Congratulations to the host for becoming the lord of Yanyun City, obtaining the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and establishing his own kingdom. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5000 Wei soldiers. 】
[Congratulations to the host for winning the famous general, Xin Qiji. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Li Shizhen, Guo Shoujing, Shen Kuo, and Song Yingxing. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining three hundred pounds of potato seeds. 】
As the sound falls, the next check-in location is refreshed.
But Li Kuan didn't look, but was taking a closer look at the rewards.
Needless to say, Wei Wuzu and Xin Qiji are both household names.
Speaking of the four talents, it may be a little strange.
But speaking of their works, it can be said that they are like thunder, not worse than Xin Qiji, and even better.
Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" is rich in content and combines the culmination of scientific achievements of previous generations. It is called a "milestone in the history of science."
Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is even more famous.
Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" is known as the encyclopedia of craftsmanship.
Maybe Guo Shoujing is a little unfamiliar, but this old man is a serious astronomer, and he is also a master of mathematics, water conservancy engineering and other industries!
Li Kuan immediately summoned them.
In an instant, a group of people appeared in front of his eyes, all five thousand Wei soldiers half-kneeled on the ground, followed by Xin Qiji, Li Shizhen and other five people half-kneeling.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"......."
The voice was neat and loud, just like one person.
Even a layman can see that this army has strict military discipline.
"Hahaha, good!"
"Everyone, go down, Mr. Xin. You will take them down to see Ziyun. He will arrange things for you!"
Li Kuan laughed loudly.
Xin Qiji took the order and immediately took everyone and the potato seeds down.
When they retreated, they happened to be seen by Empress Xiao, who was being led to see King Chu.
Groups of unfamiliar soldiers filed out of Yanyun Palace and finally left directly.
overall….
Murderous.
Like a heavenly soldier.
Queen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
These soldiers...are also...the King of Chu's?
She frowned and couldn't believe it at all.
According to the information given by the Turks, the King of Chu clearly had only nearly [-] cavalry. Where did the infantry come from?
Moreover, the evil aura on these infantrymen was so terrifying that even she, who was accustomed to the world, was frightened.
Empress Xiao was certain that she had never seen such tough infantry in her life.
The king of Chu, how did he form it!
Did he really...really enter the Turks as a proton?Not as a conqueror! ?
This time.
Empress Xiao was completely at a loss.
The king of Chu's previous act of proclaiming himself emperor actually made Empress Xiao despised.
After all, this temptation is great, but it is not something that ordinary people can bear. It may be a reminder.
Just like Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms, he clearly had a good situation, but after he became emperor because of the imperial seal, he was besieged on all sides, and the country eventually died out of hatred.
The title of emperor is too heavy...
The King of Chu only had more than ten thousand or even less than ten thousand cavalry. How could he protect the title of emperor?
And after seeing this group of tough infantry, she was unsure...
It wasn't because of how scary these tough infantry were. In fact, they were indeed scary, but not enough to scare Queen Xiao.
What frightened her was that the King of Chu was able to attack Yanyun City today beyond everyone's expectation, and he was also able to form such a terrifying infantry force unexpectedly.
What about after that?
What else can he...form?
The unknown is the scariest thing.
Queen Xiao's beautiful eyes trembled.
In the past, hearing about the King of Chu was terrifying and terrifying, but after all, it was just word of mouth.
Now, after experiencing it for herself, she realized... those rumors, after all, still underestimated King Chu...
King of Chu...
This man, this man...
He shouldn't... appear in this world!
"King Chu, King Chu... Why in the world are there such terrifying people as you?"
Queen Xiao lamented, feeling that it was extremely sad that Yanyun City had become the enemy of King Chu.
"Queen Xiao, it's time to go. Don't you want to see your grandson?"
The white-robed guard escorting her urged her.
Queen Xiao nodded hurriedly and said in a soft voice: "Come right now!"
Following the white-robed guard into the palace, the first thing Empress Xiao saw was Yang Zhengdao being tied up.
Her beautiful eyes suddenly moistened, and she said heartbreakingly: "Zhengdao!!"
She ran over.
On the way, a white-robed guard wanted to stop him, but Li Kuan looked at him and signaled him to retreat.
Empress Xiao rushed to Yang Zhengdao, held him in her arms, looked left and right, and said worriedly: "How are you, Zhengdao, are you injured anywhere?"
Yang Zhengdao shook his head with blank eyes, and then said: "Grandma Huang, I'm fine, it was uncle Yang Zhengfa who betrayed us! He betrayed our entire Yang clan, and also my Yanyun City! I will kill him sooner or later!! "
He seemed to be blinded by hatred, unable to recognize the current situation, and thinking about killing Yang Zhengfa one day.
When Queen Xiao heard this, she felt pain in her heart.
Silly boy, we can't do it...
How can we, orphans and widowed mothers, kill people from that terrifying King of Chu?
She shook her head helplessly, but said comfortingly, "Well, we can."
Yang Zhengdao's eyes were blood red, but he became gentle when he looked at Queen Xiao: "Grandma Huang, just now I saw the King of Chu holding the Imperial Seal in his hand. Did he snatch it from you? Or did you give it to him?"
Queen Xiao was speechless.
Look embarrassed.
Yang Zhengdao understood something instantly, and his eyes became fierce: "You gave it to me! Grandma Huang, didn't I ask you to keep the jade seal well? Didn't my grandfather, my father and others also ask you to keep the jade seal well!!"
"You didn't keep it safe and gave it back to the thief. Why? Why?"
"You shouldn't give it away, you shouldn't give it away..."
"Even you betrayed me? Betrayed Yanyun City?"
Yang Zhengdao covered his head with a look of pain on his face.
Seeing her grandson in such pain, Queen Xiao shed tears as if she wanted no money: "Silly child, I want to save you, I..."
"Do not touch me!!"
It seemed that multiple blows drove Yang Zhengdao into madness. He stared at Queen Xiao with blood-red eyes: "You are a sinner! Grandma Huang, you are a sinner just like Yang Zhengfa!!"
"Grandpa Yang Guang should not have let you keep the jade seal in the first place, and I should not have let you keep it either. You have failed to live up to our expectations of you!!"
"You and that Yang Zhengfa are the same thing! Damn it! Damn it!!"
Yang Zhengdao's words were like sharp arrows that stabbed deeply into Empress Xiao's heart. One after another, the more they stung, the more painful they became.
She burst into tears, her red lips were trembling: "Zheng Dao, I... Zheng Dao, you guys, where are you taking him!!"
She still wanted to explain, but the white-robed guards had already suppressed Yang Zhengdao.
Yang Zhengdao, who was being escorted away, looked at her with hatred in his eyes, without the respect he had in the past, and looked like something she had never known before.
"Zhengdao, Zhengdao!!"
Empress Xiao, who was lying on the ground, burst into tears. Even if Yang Zhengdao hated her, she still wanted to reach out and grab this grandson again.
In the end, Yang Zhengdao was taken down.
Queen Xiao immediately glared at King Chu and shouted hoarsely: "King Chu, where are you taking Zhengdao? Give him back to me!!"
Li Kuan said calmly: "Queen Xiao, you seem to...not understand the situation clearly. Let me help you understand it."
After waving his hand, a white-robed guard immediately walked toward Queen Xiao with a large package.
He stopped in front of Queen Xiao, and then opened the package.
"Boom boom boom..."
Bloody human heads fell to the ground in rounds, rolling all over the ground.
Queen Xiao was shocked and took a few steps back in fear.
She knew all these people, they were all members of the Yang family.
"King Chu, you!"
Queen Xiao looked at King Chu this time with nothing but fear and trembling in her eyes.
Li Kuan said with a smile: "The Yang clan, apart from Yang Zhengfa's family, only you and Yang Zhengdao are left."
"You bought your grandson's life with the imperial seal, but this does not mean that his life is safe. Queen Xiao, do you understand this matter?"
Empress Xiao gritted her teeth: "Are you going to break your promise? Do what the Jin Dynasty Sima did? Then your Yan Kingdom will be vulnerable! If you don't keep your oath, God will accept you!!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "I will not kill Yang Zhengdao, but if any of my blind soldiers or people kill Yang Zhengdao, then there is nothing I can do."
Queen Xiao's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
"King Chu, you, you are shameless!!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Then, do you dare to bet?"
bet?
How dare she bet?
She gave everything to the King of Chu, and even her grandson hated her, just to keep her grandson Yang Zhengdao safe.
After all she had done, if her grandson's life could not be saved, then she had failed miserably!
"King Chu, what do you want?"
Empress Xiao took a deep breath and wiped her tears. She knew that the King of Chu must have something to ask, so she said that.
Li Kuan looked at her and said with a calm smile: "My Yan Kingdom has just been established, and the number of my subjects plus the Han slaves who liberated Yanyun City can only exceed [-]."
"As for the original people of Yanyun City, there are Han people and Turkic people. Yang Zhengfa told me that the total number is about 30."
"These 30 people will know what happened tonight. I want Yang Zhengdao to abdicate and designate me as the new Emperor of Yanyun City!"
"Of course, given his situation, it is impossible for him to help, so this matter needs you, Queen Xiao, to complete!"
"Queen Xiao, your reputation in Yanyun City is high enough, even higher than Yang Zhengdao, so you are qualified to replace him!"
This is just a stopgap measure.
The original residents of Yanyun City, many men from their families died under Li Kuan's army, so they hated him so much that they couldn't coexist.
Knowing that coexistence is impossible, the reason for doing this is because Yang Zhengdao passed it on to him in the name of orthodoxy. Then some of the original residents of Yanyun City would brainwash themselves. It was just that there was a different emperor, and it was no different from when Yang Zhengdao was in power. Therefore, there was no Feelings of resistance.
And when Li Kuan takes the time to get rid of those who are resisting the most, he can then start dealing with these people.
In other words, clear it out step by step.
Queen Xiao looked at King Chu angrily and gritted her teeth: "I will help you!"
"So, King Chu, when did you let go of politics!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's about to happen. It depends on your performance, Queen Xiao."
While talking, he kept looking at Queen Xiao's perfect figure.
Queen Xiao seemed to realize something and said in horror: "You! King Chu, do you want me?"
Li Kuan nodded: "Yes, in order to increase your credibility, tomorrow you will announce that I will succeed Yanyun City and change the country's name to Yanwai. You will also announce that you will marry me and become my concubine."
"You want to be my concubine, so isn't it natural for me to want you?"
"Of course, I will tell you this straight away. I added it myself. After all, you are so beautiful, and I will be tempted by you."
Empress Xiao's eyes trembled: "No, you can't do this! I can't obey you, my heart belongs to the late emperor! How can I become your concubine! If you want me to become your concubine, I will die here. On the pillar, all your intentions will not be realized!!"
She thought this could scare King Chu and protect her passionate love for the late emperor.
but.
After all, it was just what she thought, just what she thought...
When Li Kuan heard this, he didn't even frown. He lay down on the dragon chair, supported his right cheek with his right hand and said: "Then Yang Zhengdao, there is only one way to die. Is this what you want to see? Queen Xiao. "
Boom! !
As soon as she heard that name, Queen Xiao felt like she was struck by five thunders.
Political way, political way...
She read the name with a sense of loss.
She loved the late emperor so much, and she was also the last orphan of the late emperor.
She promised the late Emperor Yang Guang that she would protect him, even if she had to pay all the costs.She has always done this, so even if Yang Zhengdao hated her so much just now, she would still protect him, because this was the late emperor's last wish.
Unwilling!
His face, belly and body were full of reluctance!
But, there is no way...
Empress Xiao lowered her head lonely, a strand of hair fell down in front of her forehead, looking extremely pitiful.
"King Chu, if I obey you, will you really let go of politics? Will you not regret it again?"
Empress Xiao looked at King Chu on the high platform.
That man is always so calm...
Even though her heart has been messed up now, she is still so peaceful, just like watching a play.
He really has committed a heinous crime!
But Empress Xiao has nothing to do.
Li Kuan lay on his side on the dragon chair, holding his right cheek with his hand: "Then it depends on your performance tonight, and even in the future."
Empress Xiao gritted her teeth: "You want to keep him imprisoned? No freedom?"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Yes, you can think of me as imitating Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty. Wasn't the last emperor of the Liu family also well taken care of by Cao Cao?"
"The difference between me and Cao Cao is that he must take good care of Emperor Liu because of his own ambition, while I have to take care of the Emperor Liu because of you."
"Queen Xiao, as long as you make me feel comfortable serving you, then Yang Zhengdao, I promise to live the same life as before. You can even marry a wife and have children, leaving an heir for your beloved late emperor Yang Guang."
When Queen Xiao heard this, her tears that had stopped falling once again were filled with tears of hatred.
Then, the second drop, the third drop...
Tears are falling like rain, and I can't stop them.
"I, I know."
She gritted her teeth and agreed.
Subsequently.
She was then taken to the palace by the maid, which belonged to Li Kuan, and was waiting for Li Kuan's arrival.
This night was destined to be her most humiliating night, and even in the future.
………………………….
The next day.
Yanyun City, the whole city gathered.
Many ordinary people looked at the soldiers around them, but they didn't know them, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"What's going on? Where are the guards from before?"
"Yes, yes! Where did Commander Cheng go? Who are these people!"
"This, these people's equipment, why are they so Han Chinese!"
"Look, it's Queen Xiao!"
"Yes, yes, but Queen Xiao, why do you see some bruises? Am I wrong?"
"......."
The people of Yanyun City talked a lot.
Although these guards didn't know each other, Empress Xiao and the others knew each other, so they couldn't help but feel at ease.
However, Queen Xiao's words surprised them.
"Everyone, citizens of Yanyun City, starting from today! The former emperor Yang Zhengdao is unable to continue to lead our Yanyun City due to physical reasons. Now, our Yanyun City will be succeeded by Yang Kuan, a clan member of the Yang family, as the next emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What, Yang Kuan? Who is Yang Kuan?"
"Which prince?"
They all knew very little about Yang Kuan.
And soon, the man named "Yang Kuan" appeared next to Queen Xiao, wearing a mask and wearing a black robe.
This man looked like Li Kuan, King of Chu, but he was soon amused by his own thoughts.
Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is still in Turkic now.
How could it be in Yanyun City!
Because Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao blocked the news before to prevent people from panicking, the people in Yanyun City at this time did not know that King Chu had escaped from the Turkic Grassland.
If they knew that King Chu fled from the Turks, they would most likely think of Li Kuan when they looked at the person in front of them.
But they don't know...
Therefore, no one thought about Li Kuan, Yanyun City's number one enemy.
Although the change of emperor this time was a bit sudden, people didn't think much about it. After all, no matter how the change happened, it was still in the hands of the Yang family.
Just like Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, the people of Chang'an City did not make much fuss. At the moment when Yang Zhengdao abdicated, there was no bloody incident, and there were not many people who resisted.
"in addition!!"
Queen Xiao spoke loudly again, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitant.
It wasn't until "Yang Kuan" glanced at her that Queen Xiao had tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth and said: "In addition, I will marry Yang Kuan in the near future, and will jointly lead Yanyun City with my husband Yang Kuan!! "
boom! !
These words are like pebbles falling into the lake, causing ripples.
Marry...marry Yang Kuan?
If they remember correctly, Empress Xiao was the wife of the late Emperor Yang Guang. Is she going to marry a member of the Yang family again?
stunned!
Shock!
Can't believe it! !
The people of Yanyun City were all shocked, and they couldn't help but sigh that the Yang clan was really good at playing games. The late Emperor Yang Guang also stole his father's concubines, and the same was true for the newly appointed Yang Kuan.
Really, very good at playing...
This can't help but become a joke among the people in Yanyun City after dinner.
After announcing the two things, Queen Xiao asked the people to retreat.
Seeing that King Chu was able to take over Yanyun City in a peaceful manner after the coup, Queen Xiao gritted her teeth and said: "Silver Thief, are you satisfied now?"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "You can't say that, Queen Xiao, no, it should be Concubine Xiao. This is our joint control of Yanyun City."
"Okay, you're tired, go down and rest, and get ready to marry me in a few days."
Queen Xiao did not retreat and glared at King Chu: "When can I see politics!"
"Meet him? Face to face?"
"if not?"
"I can confirm that your grandson doesn't want to see you. He hates you now."
"That's out of your control."
"...once every seven days, with a fence."
"Seven days? You..."
"Don't bargain with me, you should know why."
Queen Xiao was speechless.
Yes, myself, where do you get the bargaining rights?
If I hadn't made this guy comfortable last night, I might not have been able to see him even once in seven days.
After all...it is no one's fault.
Empress Xiao lamented: "I see, Yin..."
"Ok?"
"Husband... Husband."
Empress Xiao shouted awkwardly, feeling that saying these two words was more uncomfortable than anything else, but she had to say it.
"Hahaha, okay! This is my Concubine Xiao, please go down, I still have something to do."
Queen Xiao nodded and left with her maid in great loneliness.
There was sadness in her beautiful eyes.
from today.
Not only did Tai Sui become the past tense, even she, the former mother of Tai Sui, also became... the past tense...
Becoming the concubine of this damn King of Chu...
Thinking of this, Empress Xiao not only shed tears again, but her own fate is ultimately ill-fated...
After finally escaping from the Demon Cave of the Tang Dynasty, he spent a few years living a relaxed life, and fell into the hands of the Li Tang royal family again, falling into the abyss again...
…….….….….….
After sending Empress Xiao away, Xin Qiji soon came up.
"Your Majesty, do you want to start planning?"
Xin Qiji asked.
The plan is simple.
If the original people of Yanyun City were not appeased today, then the surrounding soldiers would start killing everyone.
And if he is appeased, then he will secretly start the elimination plan and eliminate those who hate King Chu the most one by one until there are no more restless elements.
Then when the Han people belonging to his King of Chu dominate Yanyun City, they can give up Yang Kuan's identity and return to Li Kuan.
"Go, be careful on the road."
Li Kuan didn't even look back.
Xin Qiji accepted the order and quickly retreated.
Li Kuan was still looking at the Nuo Dayan Cloud City from a high place. He closed his eyes and kept feeling that this city belonged to him. It stayed motionless for a long time...
And from today.
In Yanyun City, people will find that some people always disappear inexplicably, and there are even legends about ghosts catching people and returning them to the underworld at midnight.
From today on, Yanyun City will gradually become turbulent!Silent as a cicada!
People blamed this problem on the inaction of the previous leader, Yang Kuan. However, no one would have thought that it was not the emperor's inaction, but on the contrary, his actions were greater than anything else!
It's just that he regards these former Yanyun City people as enemies!
………………………….
Notices about Empress Xiao's marriage to Li Kuan were posted everywhere in Yanyun City.
When people saw it, they all sighed that Yang knew how to play. On the other hand, they couldn't help but be jealous of the newly appointed emperor.
Queen Xiao's beauty was ranked among the best in the entire Yanyun City, but as she was the late emperor's wife, and Yang Zhengdao was filial, no one dared to make an impression on her.
Who would have thought that the new emperor would be here?
And that’s what I thought on the first day. I have to say, I’m really anxious!
People are discussing the marriage between Empress Xiao and "Yang Kuan", but few people mention why Yang Zhengdao stepped down and why.
After all, Yang Zhengdao's topic level is not as high as Empress Xiao's!
The people of Yanyun City were still living in an unknowing environment, but General Baihu and the others were not idle. They sent the Han slaves rescued from Yanyun City to Floating Water Town, batch after batch.
Before Yanyun City was completely under control, Floating Water Town was still their temporary home.
However, when they settle in Yanyun City, they must do so before spring. After all, when spring comes, the Turks will have their own evil intentions.
A small floating town with no city walls could not stop the Turkic cavalry.
.
…….….….….….
Ten days passed.
Obviously there are only a dozen days, but Yanyun City seems to have spent an entire season, with various activities and eye-catching things happening one after another.
The most important thing is that the new emperor Yang Kuan married Empress Xiao as his concubine, which became a popular tea talk among people.
And at the same time.
The weird atmosphere in Yanyun City also spread to Tongwan City.
"Strange, why haven't Queen Xiao and the others come to contact me yet?"
Master Liang murmured.
In the past few months, because the King of Chu fled from the Turks, he made an agreement with Queen Xiao and others in Yanyun City to send spies to contact each other every half a month to ensure that everything was fine.
And now, three days have passed since the agreed date, and there is still no news.
Master Liang was a little panicked.
"General, don't worry. Maybe the snow is getting heavier and heavier, so the news over there is delayed."
Lu Jilan wasn't too worried.
After all, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. People are made of flesh after all, so it is normal for them to be delayed due to snow.
It's hard for people to walk under this snow. How could the King of Chu in Floating Water Town dare to attack the city in the snow?Not to mention that they are all cavalry, which is even more impossible.
Master Liang smiled and said, "Shang Shu said this, I feel more at ease, General."
"Report!!!"
At this moment, a scout ran over quickly with an anxious look on his face.
Master Liang and Lu Jilan were shocked. Master Liang said quickly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Report to the general. On the way to Yanyun City, our spies found a soldier in Yanyun City covered in blood. The spies sent someone to bring him back!"
Soldiers of Yanyun City!Covered in blood! !
Liang Shidu and Lu Jilan looked at each other one after another, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"Quickly, take this general over there!"
"Yes!!"
On the way, Master Liang asked, "Have you confirmed your identity? Are you from Yanyun City?"
"That's right, one of the spies happens to be his friend, and he can definitely be from Yanyun City."
"Over Yanyun City, what happened?"
"This... I don't know."
"Trash! A loser! Take this general over quickly!"
"Yes!!"
Bringing Liang Shidu and Lu Jilan to the Yanyun City soldiers, the scouts retired.
"General...general!"
The Yanyun City soldier with an injured leg saw Master Liang and ignored the pain. He stood up and hugged his leg and cried.
Master Liang was startled and asked quickly: "Tell me, what happened!"
"Dead, all dead!!"
The soldiers of Yanyun City burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Half a month ago, King Chu's men came into Yanyun City and killed all of us!"
"What!!" Master Liang's eyes widened in shock.
Next to him, Lu Jilan was always fanning elegantly, but this time he could no longer fan himself, and even the fan fell to the ground.
"King Chu! How did King Chu attack in!!"
"Last time, I heard from your spies that Yang Zhengdao, Queen Xiao and others had reinforced the city wall and recruited a lot of troops. How did the King of Chu attack in such a crazy weather!!"
Hearing this, the soldier cried even harder and said, "General, you don't know something!"
"The King of Chu is a cunning and insidious man. He instigated Yang Zhengfa to rebel. It was Yang Zhengfa's men who opened the door! The problem lies with the traitors!"
"He brought the King of Chu's people into the city, and the King of Chu slaughtered all of us soldiers who were loyal to Liang Guo, and killed all the Yang family members, leaving only Yang Zhengdao to threaten Empress Xiao."
Every sentence, every sound, is a bombshell.
Master Liang's eyes widened, feeling terrified, this King of Chu, this King of Chu...
He can also instigate a prince to rebel!
Why, so terrible....
"What about now? How are Queen Xiao, Yang Zhengdao and the others?"
The Yanyun City soldier cried: "Yang Zhengdao was controlled by the King of Chu and used to threaten Queen Xiao to give up the jade seal and other things."
"Empress Xiao had no choice but to give the jade seal, and agreed to the unreasonable request of King Chu, publicly announced Yang Zhengdao's abdication, let him succeed, and changed the country's name to Yan."
Hearing this, Master Liang grabbed him and stared wide-eyed: "The people of Yanyun City didn't resist? Amongst all the people in the Liang Kingdom, it was the people of Yanyun City who hated King Chu the most! After all, when King Chu attacked Yanyun City, many of their family members They all fought and died."
The soldier gritted his teeth and his voice became even sadder: "General, that villain, King Chu, is cheating! He disguised himself as Yang Kuan and pretended to be a relative of the Yang family to succeed to the throne, and then asked Queen Xiao to say in public that she would marry Chu king."
"The people of Yanyun City are simple and honest. They believed King Chu's lies. They were discussing the marriage between Queen Xiao and [Yang Kuan] these days, and no one thought about why Yang Zhengdao abdicated!"
Master Liang was stunned and stood there blankly, as if he had been given a binding talisman.
Yanyun City, one of the two most important cities in the Liang Kingdom, which was built at a huge cost, was just taken away by the King of Chu? !
There was fear in Lu Jilan's eyes, and he sighed: "King Chu's move is really flawless. If what I expected is correct, King Chu should be constantly cleaning up the people of Yanyun City who hate him, right?"
That was the disease and he nodded crazily: "Yes, yes, when I left, many people died. People didn't dare to mention it. If I mentioned it, they would disappear that night. Some people tried to organize, but sometimes traitors appeared in the organization, and sometimes there were traitors." His influence is not high, and sometimes he will be uprooted by the King of Chu if he is discovered.”
"The people of Yanyun City cannot be kept together at all. I could escape only if Queen Xiao happened to see me while walking down the street one day, and then arranged for me to escape from Yanyun City and bring the news to you, general."
When Master Liang heard this, he beat his hands in the air with anger: "King Chu, damn King Chu! Once this winter is over, I, the general, will take your head to comfort our tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Yanyun City!! "
"General, with your words, I feel relieved." As the soldier spoke, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Master Liang quickly supported him, his eyes were gentle: "You, what's wrong with you?"
The soldier vomited blood and said with a smile: "General, I... I'm fine. You must rescue Yanyun City and kill the traitor King Chu..."
"You are seriously injured, let's not talk about it, this general will take you to see a doctor."
"No, General!" The soldier grabbed Liang Shidu tightly, and continued to vomit blood, "You, promise me."
Master Liang suddenly burst into tears: "Okay, I, I promise you! I will definitely save the people of Yanyun City!"
The soldier smiled, as if it was sweeter than a child's smile: "Thank you, General."
"You don't know what kind of nightmare we have experienced. All the soldiers of Yanyun City were killed, and the people of Yanyun City were also constantly killed. Empress Xiao, who rescued me from the sea of misery like a reborn parent, also became the plaything of King Chu. "
"When she saw me at that time, I could see the sadness and tear ducts in her stunning face. She was in too much pain, and everyone in Yanyun City was in too much pain. Those damn Han people, under the leadership of King Chu, were marching forward step by step. Taking control of Yanyun City step by step, in an attempt to turn the people of Yanyun City into slaves."
"General, everything, damn, it's your fault..."
After the soldier finished speaking, it was as if the last light was extinguished, and he fell into Liang Shidu's arms with a smile on his face.
Master Liang hugged him, while Lu Jilan came over and opened the soldier's abdomen, and there was a wound that cut through the entire abdomen.
His eyes flickered.
"This kind of injury...he should have died long ago. It was his faith that supported him to Tongwan City."
Lu Jilan knew some medical skills, and because of his knowledge, he could better understand the soldier's passionate belief.
Master Liang heard that the soldier was dead, but he immediately let go of his arms and let the soldier fall on the cold snow.
His eyes filled with tears, turned cold, and he said: "Tell the Turks about this! Let's see what they say. If they attack Yanyun City in the spring, we will also help!"
Lu Jilan was not impressed by Master Liang's behavior and said, "So, don't we take back Yanyun City ourselves?"
"Take it back yourself?"
Master Liang's eyes were filled with fear, and he was deeply afraid: "Who gave us the courage to take back the courage? King Chu... This is not an enemy that our Liang Kingdom can defeat, even with all the strength of the Liang Kingdom!"
"If the Turks send troops to assist us, we will help them. If the Turks do not come, we will close the city gate tightly."
"In addition, Lu Shangshu, we need to learn from history. Yanyun City died internally. I hope you will personally investigate the internal affairs of our Tongwan City and not repeat the same mistakes again."
"The Liang Kingdom only has one Tongwan City, and I, Master Liang, only have one Tongwan City. You, Lu Shangshu, should be able to understand this matter."
Lu Jilan smiled and said: "Understood, General, I will investigate it personally."
They discussed some things again. The more they discussed, the more they became afraid of King Chu, now King Yan.
Why would such an enemy come to Liang State?
They were helpless.
And soon.
A letter was sent to Turk.
A few days later, the Turkic royal court received the letter, organized by Jieli Khan, and quickly gathered the eighteen grassland khans.
