Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 722 Nose
"Boldly digging, come here, hurry up and arrest him!" Chuxiu was so angry that he almost went crazy, the eunuch Cuosheng immediately yelled and ordered the warriors in front of the palace to control Quetu, arrested him and put him in prison.

"Fang Yun, I ordered you to be the captain of the Ministry of Punishment, and to preside over the punishment of the gangsters!" Chu Xiu glared at Fang Yun angrily, and then issued an order.

The sudden stormy coup d'état in the Shuilong Shuren Palace made all the officials tremble with fear.

"Master Cheng, will Zheng Guogong and Jin Wang be imprisoned for rebellion, will it implicate us?" Cheng Rong just returned to the prime minister's mansion, and was immediately surrounded by countless colleagues. Questions were raised one after another, making Cheng Rong frown.

"Everyone, the emperor's sage will definitely give Zheng Guogong a satisfactory answer, and he will give everyone an explanation!" Cheng Rong clasped his hands to appease everyone in the face of everyone's panic.

Within a few days, Prime Minister Mingchao and Jin Wang Shuijian were both arrested and imprisoned. They were tortured and tortured. Yue Guogong Xue Ju and Taiwei Fang Yun presided over the trial. Qihou Jiang Chu was shocked when he heard that the prime minister was imprisoned. Guo rushed back to Luoyang and asked Chuxiu face to face.

"Qihou, you don't have to worry so much. The sudden rebellion has already been revealed. I have sent someone to interrogate. Whether it is black or white, there will be a conclusion sooner or later." Chuxiu tried his best to comfort the old Qihou said. .

"Then please the emperor, for the sake of the old minister, give the little girl a way to survive." Old Qihou pleaded for Jiang Caibing with tears in his eyes.

"Qi Hou, you can rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely forgive her!" Chu Xiu hurriedly promised.

A few days later, under the torture of the prison, Xue Ju finally opened the mouth of the prisoner, and approved the arrest of Cheng Rong, An Xiaotong, and Yan Chao. Under the escort of a large number of Huben soldiers, Cheng Rong and Yan Chao All were thrown into prison.

"Your Majesty, the trial of the case is clear. Jin Wang Shuijian and Prime Minister Cheng Guogong Cheng Rong have always been close, and Juetu holds the military power of the Huben Army. Under the instigation of the Empress Dowager Ping, he attempted to conspire to support Jin Wang as the emperor and abolish the emperor. An Xiaotong, An Tong, Ma Kai, Wang Gu and more than a dozen important officials participated in the conspiracy and attempted to launch a coup." At midnight, the Taiwei Fang Yun and Xue Ju hurried to the Shuilong Shuren Hall and reported the interrogation to Chuxiu who had not yet rested. As a result, a confession was submitted.

"People like Wang Gu, Ma Kai, and Yan Chao should be killed. As for Cheng Rong, Qu Tu, and King Jin, continue to torture and find out whether there is any royal conspiracy behind them!" Chu Xiu immediately ordered indifferently.

The next day, the sky over Luoyang was full of haze. Caishikou killed Ma Kai, Wang Gu, Yan Chao, twenty important officials and their three clans in a single beheading. Thousands of people shocked the whole country.

In the prison, the bloody Qutu endured incomparably severe pain, listening to the taunts and curses from Xue Ju and other traitors.

"Kutu, give up, all of your idiots have their heads on the ground, don't worry, we will torture you well, make you notorious, and be accused by everyone every day!" The cunning eunuchs clustered together, frantic to the point of insanity. In front of the dug-out cell, there was an ugly, eerie laugh.

"Tusheng, you eunuch! Why do you want to persecute your own country so heartlessly?" Que Tu opened his eyes wide and stared at Tuosheng angrily.

"Who did you offend, do you know?" With a tuft of sideburns, he turned his head and greeted the person with a wicked smile.

"Ju Tu, do you know this king?" The person standing in front of Ju Tu is Xue Ju, Duke of Yue.

"You bastard, what enmity do I have with you?" Que Tu's eyes were red, almost devouring Xue Ju.

"Ju Tu, you bastard, Lu Kai is the former father-in-law of this king, if you hadn't defeated Xirong, how could Lao Tzu's father-in-law and his family have all been in trouble? Die!" Xue Ju laughed wildly and despised Qu Tu.

"Lu Kai is a thief, even if he dies a thousand times, he will still be sorry to me, Great Zhou Jiangshan!" Jue Tu poohed Xue Ju and spit.

"Ju Tu, do you think you only offended the king? Let me tell you, you killed Yunniang for the sake of praising Si, and all the relatives and relatives of our Great Zhou Dynasty cut off all business with Xirong. , you have offended a large number of nobles, and your boy incited the court to carry out reforms, and made many nobles and high-ranking people worthless, do you think you can get out of here alive?" Xue Ju said nonsense A set of charges.

"Hahaha, you shameless villains, you really don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you traitors and scum, how could I have been invaded so deeply by Xirong? You are the sinners of the entire nation!" Qu Tu couldn't help but look up to the sky. laugh it out.

"Slap me hard! I want him to die!" Xue Ju suddenly became angry and furious.

At this time, Cheng Rong, who was in the prison, wrote a memorial to Chuxiu, advising Chuxiu not to shake the foundation of the country and create a big prison. After reading the memorial, he ordered Cheng Rong to be released from prison and restored to justice The post of prime minister.

"Your Majesty, this brat Cheng Rong is clearly insulting the Emperor, why don't you behead him together?" The vicious and ruthless Tusheng who served Chuxiu hurriedly knelt down and spoke to Chuxiu.

"Tu Sheng, Duo Tu and Cheng Rong are two, I must kill one and keep the other, so that in the government and the public, I can get rid of the bad reputation of eliminating dissidents and be fair. On the one hand, Cheng Rong still thinks about me. Use him to dissolve Fang Yun, the Taiwei's power!" Longyan Dayue, a junior cultivator, watched Tuosheng and laughed.

"Your majesty is wise!" Tuo Sheng immediately praised him again and again.

In the Ministry of Punishment, after Fang Yun dealt with the gangsters of Dutu, he immediately called Ma Yan's name from the prisoner's mouth, and quickly sent someone to arrest the general Ma Yan.

Ma Yan was still sleeping with his three wives and four concubines in his arms, when he was suddenly arrested by the guards who broke through the door, and immediately yelled and shouted desperately.

"Ma Yan, you secretly reported to Qu Tu. Now that the prisoner has bitten you out, you should plead guilty!" Xue Ju, who was like a mad dog, pulled Ma Yan's chin with a sly smile and cursed viciously.

"Xue Ju, you pig and dog who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, I helped you destroy the excavation, but you turned around and set a trap for me, I want to see the emperor!" Facing Xue Ju's shameless face, Ma Yan was so excited that he fought and quarreled .

"Don't worry, old friend, no one will speak for you!" Xue Ju pulled out his sword and thrust it into Ma Yan's body with all his strength, blood flowed profusely immediately.

"My lord, what should we do with Ma Yan's family?" The imperial guards asked for instructions, facing the group of crying women in embarrassment.

"Kill them all!" Xue Ju gave the commander of the imperial guards a hard look.

Immediately, there was screams from all over the Ma Mansion.Men, women, and children all died.

At Shuilongguan, when I heard that Luoyang had been bleeding into rivers, An Tong, the guard, was very indignant, and immediately went to Baosi's palace to ask Baosi how to command the Huben army at Shuilongguan.

"General An Tong, since something happened to Qutu, I believe that soon those traitors will come to persecute us at Shuilongguan in the name of the emperor. You are the deputy commander of the Huben army, and you have won the trust of the soldiers. I ordered you to train the soldiers. Stabilize the defense of Shuilongguan, and immediately spread the message that all the localities of Shuilongguan should be organized and treated seriously!" Bao Si raised her eyebrows and ordered An Tong very calmly.

An Tong immediately summoned all the generals to stabilize the morale of the whole army, and announced that the emperor had been held hostage by a traitor to persecute Zhongliang.

One day later, General Wu Kuo came to announce the decree, and the Empress Dowager Ciping committed suicide. Before reaching the palace, she was surrounded by the elite tiger army led by An Tong on the spot!

"Brothers, fight!" Someone took the lead, raised their knives and guns, and smashed Wu Kuo's people into meat paste on the spot.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. All the Huben troops at Shuilongguan have turned against each other, and under the banner of the Queen Mother entering the capital, they besieged Wu Zengren, Wu Kuo and hundreds of imperial guards who announced the decree. All of them were killed!" Shuilong Shuren In the hall, there were clusters of eunuchs who were so frightened that they stumbled and scrambled, kneeling under the newly repaired dragon chair, their heads like green onions.

"Hateful, I really underestimated this woman, Bao Si, and delivered an order to order Cheng Rong to be the commander in chief to attack Shuilongguan!" Chu Xiu was furious.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Rong is not available. If he sends out troops and turns against him halfway, then Luoyang will fall!" Tuo Sheng immediately objected when he heard that Cheng Rong was leading the army.

"Tusheng, the court is in danger now, you, a thief, dare to frame Zhongliang?" King Yu was furious, holding on to Tufting's nose, and yelled.

"Okay, King Yu, let Cheng Rong lead the troops!" Chu Xiu said angrily.
