My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 340: The sound of dysprosium is long, and the forged fire blade is hard to stop

Xia's 25 troops left Yantang Pass and were already on their way to the grassland westward.

The galloping horse carrying Xia's credentials entered Feiyan Pass at this time. The general guarding the pass knew what happened in September last year. After receiving the credentials, he immediately handed it over to his country's fast horse and rushed through Jiuding and Yangping for [-] miles. Entering the capital - Xinxiang.

It was already March [-]th when Baili rushed over carrying the terrifying message.

It was almost noon, and the sound of the piano was being played in the Qi Palace. On one side of the palace, there was a row of bronze bells engraved with inscriptions. Accompanying the sound of the piano, the musicians rang them rhythmically, creating a crisp and sweet vocal music.

In the Shenghua Hall, civil and military officials knelt down in their respective seats, stroking their beards and closing their eyes, shaking their heads slightly to pay attention to the music, or exchanging cups and cups with their colleagues at the table to comment on a group of court dancers in the middle of the room, including long-sleeved court dancers.

And sitting on the dragon chair at the head was a man of about 30 years old.

Sitting on the phoenix chair next to her is the Queen Zhao Zhuangyi who should have been relegated to the cold palace. She is already in her fifties. She has been the Crown Princess for ten years and the Queen for 30 years. Now she has become the Queen Mother of Qi.

When she was young, she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The eldest died young, leaving only two sons.

Among them, Qi Wangge, the second eldest, has been sitting on the throne for 25 years, and Qi Longen, the third eldest, has gone to the fiefdom. As for the two daughters, they have already recruited their consort and are enjoying a leisurely life in the consort's mansion.

As for her husband, Qi Qingbao, the king of Qi, has been thrown into the cold palace to let him feel the torture he has suffered.

In early September last year, the Empress Dowager Zhao Xifeng of the Liang Kingdom was unable to contact her sister, so she sent her confidants to sneak into the Qi Kingdom. After learning the news, she teamed up with her confidants in the palace to rescue her, and secretly contacted the Prince Qi Wangge to quietly initiate a palace coup. .

At that time, Qi Qingbao, who was in talks with the Xia envoy Wang Huaiyi, was captured by the soldiers who rushed in before he noticed it. At the same time, because of the hatred of his younger brother Zhao Chuanting, Zhao Zhuangyi ordered that Wang Huaiyi be killed.

When the deputy envoy of Xia State, who was in the post house, heard the news, he quickly escaped from the city with his subordinates. Then he was chased by Qi State cavalry. Knowing that he could not escape, he wrote a letter in the car and handed it to an embroidery officer. The secret agent asked him to break through and bring the news out.

Killing the envoy meant completely breaking up with the Xia Kingdom. Zhao Zhuangyi was not afraid of this. She allowed her son to succeed to the throne smoothly. In the past few months, she worked hard and joined forces with her sister Zhao Xifeng who was far away in Daliang to fight against the Xia Kingdom.

"Wangge, you are gathering with the ministers here. Mom is a little tired."

The charming vocal music aroused the old woman's interest. After sitting for a while, she stood up and said something to the new emperor of Qi next to her. Immediately, she was led by the palace maids and eunuchs to the side hall, returned to the harem, and walked slowly In Youquan Hall, along the way, he asked the Supreme Emperor Qi Qingbao about his physical condition from time to time.

Hearing Qi Qingbao smashing things like crazy in the palace, crying and howling, he had a proud smile on his face.

"Haha, I really want to see his expression now!"

"Queen Mother, watch your step."

The considerate eunuch bent down to invite the Queen Mother to enter the palace door. Inside, one could faintly hear hysterical shouting.

"Zhao Zhuangyi...you dare to imprison me..."

"My ministers will never let you go!"

"...Wicked woman! Your natal Wei State deserves to be destroyed..."

Unpleasant words kept coming from the door of the apse in front. This was a quiet side hall, most of which were used to confine concubines. There were very few eunuchs here, let alone palace maids, even food and clothing. The degrees are pitifully small.

When the door of the palace was opened, the furnishings inside were in disorder, the screen fell to the ground and was trampled to pieces, the tables and chairs were all overturned on the ground, and the bowls, chopsticks, and toilet bowls were all overturned and smashed.

Qi Qingbao, who was wearing a pair of pale white clothes and underwear, with disheveled hair and a knotted beard, was sitting in a mess, with dirt all over his body.

He heard the palace door being opened behind him, got up from the ground, turned around and saw Zhao Zhuangyi coming in with several guards and eunuchs, rushing over like crazy, but instead of the vicious curses before, he knelt down in front of his wife.

"Zhuang Yi...I know I was wrong, let me out..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhuangyi put a cane on his shoulder and pushed him to the ground. The old woman looked at him and said with a smile in the dilapidated dormitory on crutches: "I have stayed in this room for several months. , every item is extremely familiar, and I never expected that it would be ruined by His Majesty like this... As expected, men are all unlucky."

"Zhuang Yi...you are right...I will listen to you from now on!"

Regardless of his appearance, Qi Qingbao crawled over to hug his old wife's legs, but was pushed away by the eunuch beside the old woman. "You dog slave... dare to insult me!" Qi Qingbao got up from the ground. While glaring at the eunuch, he looked at his old wife who had her back turned to him again.

As if he was no longer pretending, he lowered his voice and almost yelled: "Bitch, this is how you treat your husband and the king of a country?! You want to avenge your stupid brother, don't drag my country into trouble!"

"Don't take me too seriously. You are now the Supreme Emperor, and Wangge has become the Emperor."

"what……"

Upon hearing the news, Qi Qingbao's eyes widened and he looked at his old wife blankly, then rushed over with a cry of "Ah!". The guards on one side rushed up, pulled him back, and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Zhuangyi slowly turned around, "Your Majesty... I have joined forces with my sister to fight against the Xia Kingdom. It is not only a personal vendetta, but also to resist the ambition of the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom. Can't you see it? What he wants is the whole world, he We will destroy the remaining four countries!"

"Haha, you think I can't see it? But so what!"

Qi Qingbao, who was over 50 years old, was forced to kneel on the ground and shouted at his old wife: "Qi State has few poor people, and the army is even less experienced in battles. Sooner or later, the country will be destroyed. I met with the envoy of Xia State , that is, I have the intention of bowing my head and bowing my head. As long as I retain the ancestral temple of Qi State and the people and soldiers do not die in vain, I will not be considered a coward!"

"But what did you do!"

"You killed the envoy of the Xia State, Wang Huaiyi, the confidant of the Emperor of the Xia State... The entire Qi State will be destroyed in the hands of a short-witted woman like you, and you caused countless casualties to the thousands of people in our Qi State!"

"cat!"

At this moment, a guard outside came to the palace and said something in the ear of the guard commander. The latter immediately walked out of the palace and handed a tightened document into the hands of a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, it's urgent from Baili. It's from Feiyan Pass. There's another copy that has been sent to Your Majesty."

This Your Majesty refers to Qi Wangge who succeeded to the throne.

Qi Qingbao, who was forced to kneel on the ground, was stunned for a moment, while Zhao Zhuangyi turned around and unfolded the letter from the guard commander's hand. The long eyebrows traced by the eyebrow pencil frowned, and the wrinkles on his wrinkled face became deeper. murmured.

"It came so fast..."

The slight sound echoed in the messy dormitory, ringing very clearly in everyone's ears. Qi Qingbao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly laughed, "It's coming! It's coming! Revenge is coming... I will watch you being killed, Ha ha!"

Zhao Zhuangyi pursed her lips tightly and looked down at her husband who was laughing wildly. She wanted to say something, but she held it back. She slowly turned around and passed him, heading straight towards the palace door.

"Let him stay here..."

At this time, in the Shenghua Hall, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo had stopped, and the singing and dancing palace dancers were exiting the hall in a panic. The civil and military officials of Qi State on both sides were silent, all looking at the figure on the dragon chair.

The new emperor named Qi Wangge had a look of fear in his eyes. His arms were trembling slightly as he looked at the letter of credence handed over by Xia Guo in his hand.

"25... attack both countries together..."

With a stiff neck, he raised his eyes with difficulty. The sunlight outside the palace became blurry in his eyes. For an instant, he seemed to see the distance, and saw the scene of the powerful warriors.

……

The violent stone bullets flew out in a long trajectory, whizzing and hitting the city gate, shaking the feet of the soldiers on the pass, and the broken rock fragments splashed.

The old commander under the banner waved the command flag, and the soldiers named Xiliang came to the city with sharp blades.

Groups of people who resisted were chopped down, and the swarming crowd trampled the city.

The shouts of fighting, accompanied by several loud bangs, spread across the stone steps of the inner city wall.

At a certain moment, the city gate opened from the inside, and the waiting prairie cavalry launched an overwhelming charge, pouring into the city gate, lighting up the panicked soldiers, and setting off a huge wave of blood!
