Chapter 652 A Long Sigh (1)
"Empress Dowager, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" An Tong looked at the dignified Bao Si and eagerly asked for instructions.

"Mother, that is, let's fight to the death, the winner is king!" The excited Hui En drew out his sword and faced An Tong and Cheng Rong with teeth and claws.

"Hui En, do you still recognize me as the queen mother?" Bao Si Longyan frowned and questioned Hui En in a painful voice.

"Mother? Yes, you are kind to nurturing me, but my country is the most important thing. Next time, it won't be so cheap!" Hui En saluted Baosi excitedly, and turned his horse's head angrily.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to welcome back the Empress Dowager, don't miss this opportunity!" the anxious lieutenant general Song Rui tried hard to persuade Hui En.

"Withdraw!" Without saying a word, Hui En turned his horse's head and walked away.

"Alas, the love of flesh and blood has to become what it is today for the sake of the throne. Why are the sons of the late emperor so similar to him!" Bao Si couldn't help but sighed, wanting to cry.

"Empress Dowager, after the auspicious time, King Song's soldiers may come again, let's go back to Shuilongguan." Cheng Rong persuaded Bao Si with a heavy heart.

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood, and the bright red halo shrouded the plain, making people speechless.

At Shuilongguan, after Jutu welcomed Baosi back, the ambitious Chuxiu decided to summon the princes of the world to join forces at Shuilongguan to fight against thieves and recapture Haojing. Unexpectedly, Qin Hou was the first to stand up and sacrificed his hands. soldiers and horses.

"Aiqing is so loyal! In the future, your fiefs in Qin will be the most among the princes, and they will not be replaced by hereditary to show the emperor's favor!" The overjoyed Chuxiu immediately opened his mouth, which attracted the unanimous approval of all the officials. .Amidst the sound of long live, Chuxiu, who had just taken power, was obviously a little ecstatic.

"Your Majesty, the meritorious service of the cabinet minister Cheng Rong is too great. In addition, this person is proud of his credit. In the future, it must be a stumbling block for the King to monopolize the power. Recently, I have heard some rumors that Cheng Rong is crazy." After returning to the court and returning to the palace and bedroom, Zhou Ji, the accompanying minister in charge, suddenly blew the wind in his ears.

Chuxiu looked at the ugly Zhou Ji with a strange look, and said with a smile: "Zhou Ji, I know that you are the nephew of Marquis Qi, that's why I listen to you, why now, you are also starting to gossip and discuss Minister get up?"

Zhou Ji hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you know that Marquis Qi had a lot of complaints about Cheng Rong back then. Now that the King has just succeeded to the throne, the minister is worried that the King's power will be lost, so he risked his life to speak out. If the words are not good, I ask the king to punish me!"

"Well, what you said is very good! I will need you people who dare to speak out in the future." Chu Xiu smiled mysteriously at the trembling Zhou Ji, and his face eased a lot.

"Your Majesty, I will dare to say one more thing. Cheng Rong has an accomplice, that is, the Marshal of the court, Du Tu. This person is not simple! Not only does he hold a heavy army, he assists the King to succeed to the throne, and he has even broken ties with the Empress Dowager!" Zhou Ji saw that the first practice was useful, and immediately opened his mouth viciously to talk nonsense.

"Presumptuous! You're the one who said this, get out!" Chuxiu immediately became furious, and scolded Zhou Ji angrily.

Besides, Cheng Rong sent envoys out of Shuilong Pass under the order of Chuxiu, and issued an edict from the Emperor of the Great Zhou to the princes from all over the world, announcing that the princes from all walks of life would enter Shuilong Pass to join forces to seek rebellion. However, for more than ten days in a row, there was very little response. Feeling extremely impatient, he went straight to Cheng Rong's mansion to ask for advice after the morning court.

"Lord Cheng, what's going on? It's clear that justice is on our side, but for more than half a month, few princes are willing to listen to our king. Could it be that all the princes have turned a deaf ear to Hui En's actions?" Protruding picked up the teacup in front of him, while drinking, he complained loudly.
