Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 46 The Emperor's House (3)
"So it looks like King Jin's deputy was dismissed in less than a month?" She asked the person sitting opposite with some disbelief.

That person was King Jing, he took a sip of the fragrant tea, his mediocre face was calm: "What's so strange, King Jin is not expected to lead soldiers, and the queen doesn't even think about it, Chu Huotian is in the army For more than ten years in the middle school, the credit has been laid down bit by bit. How many generals, generals, and even commanders were promoted by him? He wanted to take his power easily, and no one under him dared to say a word. "

"Then, Prince Jing, you are instigating him to divide his military power... Isn't this a sheep going into a tiger's mouth?" Queen Wang said slightly angrily.

"But now and then, at the beginning, I also wanted King Jin to make trouble with him. Didn't the emperor also fear that he had too much military power? It's just that our brothers didn't speak up. They are all in the hands of Chu Huotian alone. Besides, if we do something in the future, we will not be out of soldiers. But who would have thought that this time the border is in danger, and now the military power is also divided, but in the end it was not expected to be taken away so easily. "A crack finally appeared on King Jing's immovable complexion.

"Then what should we do?" the queen asked anxiously.

"The queen can do whatever she wants. Now Chu Huotian is far away in Guangjun, led by the Qin army, and Chujing is our world. The queen should take good care of it, as long as you do what you have to do..." King Jing said softly , There was a hint of malice in the small eyes.

"This..." the queen began to hesitate.All of a sudden, the empty hall was silent, like stagnant water. The gold-plated copper beast spit out the cigarette slightly, and the light smoke curled up, making the feeling even more strange.

"Empress, the opportunity at this time is once in a thousand years. If you don't start early, when Chu Huotian wins and returns to the court, no one will be able to restrain him. At that time, even if the crown prince ascends the throne, he will still be a puppet emperor. Do the empress want to see such a result? Is it?" King Jing pressed on step by step, and the queen's face began to change.

"Then what do you mean?" The queen opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

King Jing made a gesture, and his small eyes gleamed fiercely, like a vicious hungry wolf.The queen felt chills in her heart.

"But... but the emperor has Long Ying and the ten thousand Habayashirou by his side, this is not appropriate..." the queen said, her high-spirited voice began to tremble.

She didn't understand what King Jing meant, but she still hesitated at the thought of attacking the man she had slept with for almost 30 years.

"Longying is nothing to worry about, as long as the gods don't notice, everything will be fine. As for Habayashiro, I will leave it to the king to deal with it. Our [-] Gyeonggi guards can also do their best. Queen, don't worry. " King Jing said unhurriedly.

The more the queen thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out, regicide... What he asked her to do was a heinous crime of regicide!Tell her how she can bear it.The sky was getting dark little by little, and there was a distant chanting, and the palace gate was about to be locked.

King Jing gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said, "Now that the emperor's dragon body is ill, it's hard to guarantee that he will go back on his word before he leaves and make the eldest prince the crown prince. Does the queen want to wait any longer? The most fearful thing is that all our previous hard work will be done." It was wasted, and in the end I only exchanged for a bamboo basket to fetch water. The minister has retired." He saluted and withdrew.

Only the queen was left thinking quietly in the hall.In the twilight, far away, it seems that the wild geese flying south can be heard passing over the deep palace, and their long chirps seem to tell people that autumn has come.She sat blankly on the cold and hard phoenix floor, her eyes full of splendid luxury seemed to mock her sadness, the heavy phoenix suit and phoenix crown on her body were so heavy that she could hardly lift her head.She shrank slightly, why did she still feel cold?Obviously the heavy palace clothes are made of the best material, a horse is worth thousands of gold.But my heart is still empty, I can't fill it up, I can't fill it up.

What else is she missing?What more does she want?
Why did she feel so miserable.Obviously, she is about to win this wonderful country of Chu, what is she still afraid of?
The most bitter thing is in the emperor's house... The battles of the past are vivid in her memory, her eyes were burning, but no more tears fell down.

"Come on!" She gritted her teeth and shouted.

"What is the queen's order?"

"Chuan Imperial Physician..." She spat out these few words with difficulty.

The prelude to the night slowly descends, covering up the filth and unbearableness of the world...

Ouyang Ruo has been in Guangjun for a long time. Although the living conditions are poor, she doesn't care because she is worried about the border crisis, and keeps things simple.Under the city of Guangjun, the Qin army and the Chu army were in a stalemate.As keen as Ouyang Ruo felt the imminent pressure, he couldn't be so stalemate.Guangjun is located in the northwest, and you can feel the slight chill in September as early as September, but Chu Huotian's tens of thousands of troops are still stationed in the pass.

Ouyang Ruo smiled wryly in his heart. This was originally a pre-arranged scene. Before the news came from Chu Jing, these tens of thousands of troops would not leave the city easily.

Just as he was lost in thought, the curtain of the door lifted, and Chu Huotian walked in rubbing his hands in a dusty body.Li Jingcai also followed into the room.

"What are you doing?" Chu Huotian asked with a smile while taking off his black cloak.

Ouyang Ruo hurriedly got up and helped him take off the golden armor, and said with a smile: "No, didn't the Hou Ye's clothes get hung up a few days ago, so I picked them up and sewed them up, but it seems that it's getting colder today. I probably won't be able to wear a long gown."

Chu Huotian let her untie the golden armor gown and put on a comfortable homely cotton gown, nodded, and said, "Haven't you heard of 'Hu Tian is snowing in August', although this Guangjun is not yet the last In the north, but the weather also starts to get cold in September."

The two chatted homely without saying a word, and waited for the people below to serve dinner.

Li Jing suddenly turned in and whispered a few words in Chu Huotian's ear, Chu Huotian's expression was slightly moved, like surprise and worry.

Seeing his complexion, Ouyang Ruo knew that something serious must have happened.Sure enough, Chu Huotian said to her: "You eat first, and I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he went out wearing that homely shirt without changing his clothes.

It wasn't until after dinner that the moonlight was westward that Chu Huo hurried over.He seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, and he seemed to be carrying a heavy burden again, and he ate like chewing wax after a meal.Ouyang Ruo also looked at Shensi.Waiting for the servants to clean up the dishes.

Ouyang Ruo handed over the tea and asked in a low voice: "Master Hou seems to have something on his mind."

Chu Huotian stared at the tea leaves in the fine celadon teacup rolling up and down, and the mist curled up. He smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what's wrong. I obviously thought about it for a long time, but why did I hesitate before the battle?"

Ouyang Ruo shook his hand, and the thin calluses on his hand pierced her soft, soft like green onions, and there was a slight itch, she said softly: "Master Hou should think about it before doing it, and think it through before doing it." Do it. Otherwise it won't work."

Chu Huotian shook her hand instead, and rubbed it in his palm: "General Lin came over just now, you may not know who he is. He is Habayashiro's general. He is the most trusted person of the emperor." Let's just say that old General Lin's family is Habayashiro's general for generations. His loyalty cannot be bought with money and life. Here comes the secret decree."

Ouyang Ruo let out an "ah", her heart was beating involuntarily.She had done thousands of calculations and thought about all kinds of guesses, but she never thought that Emperor Chu could give Chu Huo a secret decree.Could it be that he was so sick and confused that he actually asked Chu Huotian, who holds the power of soldiers and horses, to return to Beijing?
Chu Huotian seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "This Marquis has also thought about it before, everything is prepared, even the worst plan has been prepared, but now the emperor's decree is really timely, Ben Hou Returning to the capital is justifiable, but it is too smooth, Ben Hou is puzzled, I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart. Did it pave the way for Ben Hou?"

Ouyang Ruo was also hesitant after hearing this. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. If it's a big trap, I'll just wait for Chu Huotian to get into it.She thought about it, and the palms of her hands were slightly sweating.Under the dim and flickering candlelight, the faces of the two of them were a little dignified. The north wind was blowing outside, and it was blowing again tonight.

Chu Huotian put her hand on his lips and kissed it lightly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, I, Chu Huotian, have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and all difficult things have passed, but now this situation is also making me feel uncomfortable." People have to send. Don't worry, Benhou still has a strong army in Chujing. You stay here, Zixuan is here, if anything happens..."

Ouyang Ruo was shocked, quickly sealed his mouth, and said anxiously: "Master Hou must never say such a thing."

Chu Huotian sighed slightly, and took her hand off.Under the candlelight, there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which added to the vicissitudes of life: "After tonight, Benhou will quietly go to Chujing. You have to take care of yourself. The emperor's family is the most ruthless... Benhou also has to be tough." Let's give it a try..."

Ouyang Ruo's eyes were full of tears when he heard it, but his eyes did not drip: "Then Hou Ye must take care of himself all the way..."

Chu Huotian took her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, standing on a high place, the scenery you can see is more charming. At that time, Benhou will hold hands with you to see the world!"

When he said this, his handsome eyes were raised slightly, his expression was flying high, and the previous solemnity was swept away, and the awe-inspiring aura of smiling at the world returned to him...

Such a man... Ouyang Ruo sighed, such a man is destined to stand above ten thousand people.
