Chapter 73
Three hundred soldiers surrounded it.

The door to the mansion was tightly closed.

One of Obai's men stepped forward and knocked hard.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Grand Bachelor Sony, come quickly to receive the edict."

Inside the house.

Sony's son stopped him.

"Dad, you can't go out."

"Obai falsely preached the imperial edict. You will definitely be hacked to death as soon as you go out."

"Let the son bring the guards up to attract Aobai's attention, and you and Er Niang break through the back door and escape."

Sony snorted coldly.

"I, Sonny, have fought with the late emperor in the north and south for decades. How can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Even if I die, I will reveal Oboi's true face."

"Even if His Majesty cannot cure him, he must be disloyal and unjust."

"Get out of the way."

Sony pushed his son away.

Surrounded by guards, the door of the mansion was opened.

He thought he would die under the arrows and knives.

did not expect.

Oboi riding on a tall horse.

He held the reins in one hand and the edict in the other.

Looking down at him.

The guards on the side didn't do much.

"Sony accepts the order."

Sony didn't know what Obai was up to, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the Holy One.

Bring everyone in the mansion to kneel down to listen to the decree.

Obai dismounted and stood in front of Sony.

"Follow the sky to carry it, the emperor decreed."

"Grandmaster Sony has been found guilty of corruption and perversion of the law. I am very angry today. I charge Grand Scholar Sony with the crime of confiscating his home. He will be imprisoned personally and will be punished."

"Chin this."

Sonny knelt on the ground, and his teeth chattered angrily after listening to the imperial decree.

"I... accept the order."

Sony stretched out his hand to catch the imperial edict tremblingly.

He would never believe that His Majesty the Emperor would treat him like this.

He is Adou's confidant.

In the entire court, few people would speak for Adou.

Only I have been helping him.

Yesterday, when I was slandered by Obai.

A Dou also turned the other way, kept speaking for him, and scolded Ao Bai.

Therefore, he believed that Ao Bai was falsely preaching the imperial edict.

He must see with his own eyes His Majesty's words and the jade seal stamped by His Majesty himself.

Just willing.

The moment the edict is opened.

I saw a familiar word, it was the word of his former student.

There are also eight jade seals that read "Ordered by Heaven, you will live forever".

Sony spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The yellow cloth was dyed red.

"How could your Majesty do this to me?"

Sony's son hurriedly supported him and helped him up.

"Dad. Are you okay?"

Sony ignored his son's words and looked directly at Obai.

"Obai."

"What did you do to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty will never issue such an edict no matter what."

Seeing his old rival dying, Oboi sighed.

"Just let you be a sensible person."

"Today, His Majesty suddenly agreed to my request yesterday, saying that you and Shangshu Heshen, Minister of the Household Department, colluded with corruption and gave you the crime of copying your home."

"Let me handle it with Tiedan Shenhou and Cao Zhengchun from Dongchang, that's all."

After listening to what Obai said.

Sony's deeply sunken eyes rolled around.

His eyes, which were already cloudy, suddenly shone brightly.

I immediately understood what happened.

Immediately saw the mystery of it.

He seemed to see the future of Great Xia.

He burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

The laughter was full of pride, a real laugh.

He gently pushed his son away and knelt on the ground again.

Raise the edict with both arms above your head.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Then he knocked his head heavily.

boom.

The people present didn't know what he was doing.

Even Obai frowned.

After a while, Sony didn't look up.

Obai finally got a little impatient.

"Sony, the imperial decree is for this purpose, there is no point in delaying it any longer, let's go." Two soldiers came forward with iron cuffs, wanting to take Sonny down.

Several guards immediately blocked the front.

Sony's son helped Sony and planned to escape.

The moment he got up, he suddenly realized.

Sony was so weak that he couldn't stand up straight.

I reached out to feel Sony's pulse, only to find that he was dead.

At the scene, cries of pain could be heard...

"died?"

Ao Bai looked up at the dark clouds.

The rain is still hanging in the sky and has not fallen.

It doesn't end like this either.

"Hand up Sony. Anyone who dares to stop him will be shot to death."

"Even if you die, you must obey the holy order and be imprisoned in the sky prison."

Sony is dead, and the family members are heartbroken and have no courage to resist.

He could only helplessly, watching Aobai's subordinates handcuff Sonny.

And Ao Bai's large formation attracted many people to watch.

When people saw Sony grabbing the ground with his head, he died of anger.

Everyone cursed.

"His traitorous minister, he is truly lawless."

"I heard that the imperial decree is false. This Oboi committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please someone come and punish him."

"No one in the capital dares to touch Obai."

"Sony doesn't have any real power, so why does Aobai keep staring at him?"

"You have done evil. Even the dead must be handcuffed. Aren't you afraid of damaging your moral character?"

"Alas, with such a tyrannical and treacherous minister, His Majesty's life in the palace must be even more difficult."

……

Inside the palace.

After Lu Yan left the morning court, he was anxious to return to Yangxin Hall.

I just learned the "Nine Yin Manual".

He has not yet fully controlled the powerful internal force in his dantian.

When confronting Lu Bu, he almost stopped the car.

What if the two of them collided.

Falling on all fours.

That's the real ugliness.

However, when he came to a fork in the road, a maid blocked his way.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

Queen Mother?

That is Wu Meiniang.

The terminator of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

A ruthless character who won't even let go of his own son.

An existence that made Adou tremble with fear.

It was also the hint of Wu Meiniang yesterday.

It became the last straw for Adou.

Now he wants to see himself.

Could there be a conspiracy?

Lu Yan touched his chin.

Sneer.

He is not afraid of all civil and military officials, but he is also afraid of a female figure.

"Let's go to Cining Palace."

In the Ci Ning Palace at this time.

Wu Meiniang is sitting in front of a chessboard.

On the chessboard, Black has completely surrounded White.

She held a white stone in her hand.

I don’t know where to go.

Outside the screen, a sharp-tongued old eunuch was making a report.

"Your Majesty is extremely brave today."

"Use Sony as bait to lure Obai into taking the bait."

"At the same time, he dragged He Shen into the water, and then he even attacked Zhao Gao and scolded Lu Bu for being the first."

"The Queen Mother, please be careful later."

Wu Meiniang seemed not to hear.

The focus is still on the chessboard.

After the old eunuch finished typing his report, he stepped back and left.

Then, an old palace maid walked in quickly.

Still outside the screen, he stopped.

"The Queen Mother, news just came from outside the palace. After receiving the order, Sony vomited blood. After laughing a few times, he committed suicide with his head on the ground."

"Now, Obai is raiding Sony's house."

At this time, Wu Meiniang raised her head.

"Oh?"

"My Adou son is really courageous."

"How dare you actually attack Sony."

Wu Meiniang's expression was solemn.After listening to the old eunuch's report.

She really admired what Adou had done.

There was even a faint hint of threat.

Now I hear the news of Sony’s death again.

She began to feel restless.

Why did Lu Yan dare to give up his only loyal minister?
Most people think Sony is a bait.

This can be said to be right or wrong.

Living Sony is a bait for Obai to take action.

The death of Sony was Lu Yan's step in reshaping the imperial power.

Sony didn't have to die.

Maybe even stay out of jail.

But Lu Yan still satisfied Ao Bai and let Sony and He Shen share the same guilt.

This is reshaping the right to speak and reshaping the authority of the emperor.

Let all officials understand.

He, Lu Yan, you have no jokes.

Sony's death resulted in imperial deterrence.

Sony must have seen Lu Yan's intention.

Only then are they willing to die.

After taking this step, Lu Yan completed a qualitative change from zero to one.

If there is one, there must be two, the next step or the next victim of imperial power.

Who is the one. ?
thought here.

Wu Meiniang no longer had the intention to sit upright.

Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a eunuch shouting: "The Emperor has arrived..."

Lu Yan knelt on one knee outside the screen.

"My son, please greet the queen mother."

Wu Meiniang straightened her phoenix crown.

Two servant girls lifted the screen aside.

"Your Majesty, please get up quickly."

Lu Yan stood up and looked at Wu Meiniang with his wise eyes.

Logically speaking, Wu Meiniang should be in her 50s.

But now she looks as young as in her 30s.

Wu Meiniang was also looking at Lu Yan.

Today's Lu Yan and yesterday's Lu Yan are like two people.

It's not just the difference between "Black Dragon Robe" and "Nine Dragons in Heaven Robe".

Especially in terms of demeanor, temperament, and behavior.

Indescribably calm.

"What is the reason why the mother is looking for her son?"

Lu Yan is neither humble nor arrogant.

"The Ai family called your majesty here because they want your majesty to help the Ai family take a look at this "Xingyue chess game". "

In the Kingdom of Daxia, the art of Go flourished.

Everyone will play a few games in their spare time.

Wu Meiniang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"This was originally a chess game with wild tricks. The Ai family accidentally saw it and asked the maids to remember it."

The two of them took their seats on opposite sides of the chessboard.

Although Lu Yan is not as good as the national player.

But some common sense is still there.

I finished watching Black and White's fight.

Analyzed immediately.

"In this chess game, White's moves are very scattered and there is almost no offensive. They are like stars in the night sky, but they have the intention of surrounding Black's moves."

"And black's chess is close to its beginning and end, its attack is concentrated, and its momentum is strong, like a bright moon. According to Erchen, within a few moves, white's chess will be lost."

"Your Majesty is right, but I am so worried about my family."

"The Ai family believes that no matter who holds the white chess piece, there is no way to make a move..."

Wu Meiniang pretended to show a helpless smile.

She planned to use this chess game as a metaphor for the current Daxia Dynasty.

The imperial court is full of rebellious officials and thieves, while loyal officials are either not in the capital, or defending against the enemy far away in the frontier.

You are an emperor, you can't sing alone...

It's better to hand over the throne and commit suicide......

So that she can taste what it's like to be an empress...

It was pretty much hinted at yesterday.

She thought Adou's character would not survive last night.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive and well.

Even killed He Shen in the morning...

She must never let Adou see hope...

Wu Meiniang felt that she must remind Adou again.

It's time to let go......

Lu Yan also understood the deep meaning of her words.

The way of Go reflects reality.

The current situation of the imperial court is almost exactly the same as this "Star and Moon Chess Game"...

How could he not know...

At this moment, he thought of Ah Dou who was humiliated yesterday.

Lu Yan felt angry rising in his heart.

Don’t know where to start?

Humph…………

Today I will show you what a real chess player is...

Lu Yan activated "Zizhi Tongjian" to integrate each battle into the way of Go.

Between black and white, yin and yang collide.

Endless wars and countless wreckage.

Floating before his eyes...

After three seconds.

There was a slight smile on his lips.

Take out a white piece from the Qi box.

Clicked on it......

In an instant, a small piece of white stones nearby all died.

Wu Meiniang looked down at the chessboard.

He looked at Lu Yan again.

I was very excited inside.

Lu Yan trapped himself with a small piece of white chess.

Belongs to suicidal behavior.

Could it be that he already understood what Ai Jia meant?
Wu Meiniang was overjoyed and decided to force Lu Yan to say it himself.

She is at ease.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

"Why can't Aijia understand it?"

"Could it be that His Majesty is planning to give up and commit suicide..."

Charming Niang pretended to be shocked, and looked at Lu Yan with worried eyes.

After Lu Yan practiced the "Nine Yin Manual".

He is aware of subtle changes in the environment.

Wu Meiniang's face just showed a hint of happiness.

He's captured it.

Now say the word "suicide" directly.

It is simply a naked expression of oneself...

If it were Adou, he would have burst into tears.

I'll drink the poisoned wine again when I get back...

Lu Yan clenched his fists.

Since the other party went so far...

Then there is no need to give her face.

"It's normal not to understand..."

"Because you are already stuck on the chessboard. The ancients said that the authorities are confused, let alone a chess piece..."

Lu Yan's words were ostensibly meant for the chessboard.

In fact, Wu Meiniang was also clearly stated.

who do you think You Are?

It's just a chess piece of mine...

How can you understand the intention of me, the chess player...

As an old fox, Wu Meiniang is always the one who schemes against others.

Unexpectedly, today, he would be humiliated as a pawn by Lu Yan.

I am furious......

"The Ai family really can't understand His Majesty's methods..."

"You killed Sony and copied Heshen..."

"On the surface, exchanging Sony for Heshen is a huge profit..."

"But if you earn money, you have to spend life..."

"Your Majesty, the only bait you have is yourself..."

"Tonight, the villain minister will definitely send out assassins. I guess you won't be able to sleep well..."

"It's better...it's better..."

Before Wu Meiniang could finish speaking.

Lu Yan stood up, exuding an imperial aura.

"presumptuous…………"

All the eunuchs and maids present knelt down.

Only Wu Meiniang looked at Lu Yan with a half-smile.

She didn't finish her last sentence. In fact, she wanted to say: "It's better to hand over the imperial power to the Ai family, and the Ai family will manage the government for you..."

After Lu Yan got angry, she was very satisfied.

This is the Adou she knows.

He will only become angry from shame and cry.

She was ready for Lu Yan to cry.

Lu Yan was not afraid when he saw Wu Meiniang.

Knowing that it was the reason why she accompanied the emperor day and night.

Not too surprised.

He just said coldly: "There have been regulations in all dynasties that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics..."

"If the queen mother brings up government affairs again, don't blame her son for taking care of business..."

Lu Yan shook his clothes.

Then he took Xiao Chunzi and left through the door.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty..."

The eunuchs and maids saluted one after another.
