Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 725 Luoyang Early Winter
Bao Si frowned, the cold wind of early winter rolled up a thousand layers of sorrow, and blew across her cheeks very sharply, and when a protruding outline appeared in front of her eyes, Bao Si finally stretched her crescent eyebrows and smiled sweetly.

"Empress Dowager Ping, the ministers are here to pay their respects, and assist the empress to save the world and restore the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Ju Tu bent one knee forward, knelt on the ground, and solemnly reported to Bao Si.

"Duke Zheng, and everyone, please stand up!" Bao Si happily looked at the kneeling officials present, with picturesque eyebrows like spring mountains.

"I ask the Queen Mother to issue a decree to announce to China and foreign countries, unite the divisions of Qin Kings from all over the country, send troops to Luoyang, kill the rebels, and save the great Zhou society!" Cheng Rong begged for orders without losing the opportunity.

"Yes, Empress Dowager, the emperor is now bewitched by traitors, and many Zhongliang and his family have been beheaded. If this chaos continues, the country of Dazhou will repeat the mistakes of Gaojing back then!" Ming Chao continued. Weeping and sobbing.

"The Prime Minister's words are very kind, let's go back to the main hall first, and then we can discuss in the long run." Bao Si said very calmly.

The commander's mansion at Shuilongguan was the Queen Mother's bedroom at this time. After Baosi saw Jin Wang Shuijian, he decided to support Shuijian as the marshal of the crusade, and Dutu as the deputy commander, leading an army of [-] Tigers and Ben to counterattack Luoyang.

"Queen, are we going to let that thief Xue Ju go and fight Luoyang directly?" An Tong asked a little strangely.

"General An Tong, Zhaoguan is just a temporary shelter for Xue Ju and Fang Yun. They must think that hiding there can delay our counterattack, but I don't want to attack Zhaoguan, but want to bypass Zhaoguan. Raid Luoyang by surprise and create momentum to make Luoyang lose its fighting spirit as soon as possible!" Bao Si couldn't help but smiled.

"That's right, the Queen Mother's plan is indeed the best strategy. I can lead the elite cavalry. It only takes three days to reach Luoyang. At that time, we will kill the old bandits first, and then we will send troops outside. Yun and Xue Ju have nothing to rely on!" Jue Tu agreed happily.

"That's right, the biggest victory can be won by surprise. It's not too late to dig a hole. Let's take action tonight!" Cheng Rong couldn't help laughing heartily.

In the early winter of Luoyang, snowflakes had already fallen, and the emperor Chuxiu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very troubled, roasting charcoal fire in the palace, feeling very frightened in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my concubine feels that the current situation is caused by the treacherous Tusheng and Xue Jufang Yun. If the Emperor wants to quickly quell the rebellion, he should order to kill the traitor Tusheng!" Empress Axi hugged the infant Rong Cheng, with a look of righteous indignation, persuaded the beginner to practice Taoism.

"Axi, your master Baosi is now ready to support King Jin as the emperor and pull me down from the throne. Tell me, now I have no other way out except to fight them to the end?" Chuxiu couldn't help but look desperate. Eyes sighed.

"Your majesty, don't believe the rumors spread by those treacherous sycophants. What kind of empress dowager supported the king of Jin as the emperor? It's all because of that slave named Tusheng deliberately provoking, wantonly distorting, and creating chaos. The emperor should execute this thief Ling Chi!" Axi His eyes are like torches.

"Queen, I'm afraid we don't even have the guards to catch Fang Yun!" Chu Xiu said with annoyed expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, now that the excavation is approaching the city, the slaves can only deploy guards to protect the emperor, please let the emperor stay out of this palace!" Before Chuxiu could finish his sentence, the arrogant Tusheng rushed in treacherously. After leaving the bedroom, the general Jiang Kai and others around him showed their fierce lights, and they drew their swords and went straight to Chuxiu.

"Bold slave, dare to threaten me? Tell me, do you want to put me in confinement?" Chuxiu was furious when he saw that the usually flattering Tu Sheng suddenly became arrogant and brutal, and cursed fiercely.

"Your Majesty, this servant is very loyal to the Emperor. However, the Emperor is stupid and reused treacherous ministers, which led to the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which moved its capital to Luoyang. The old slave sent troops to protect the Emperor because of his loyalty to the Emperor. In case the Emperor falls into someone else's hands In the hands of the old slave, only the prince in the supporting clan can inherit the throne!" Tuo Sheng smiled sinisterly with a honeyed chest and sword.

"A group of traitors, you still haven't taken down the dog slave cluster!" Chuxiu suddenly became angry, and shouted to the guard.

What I didn't expect was that none of the imperial guards present did anything, but only the clusters followed suit.

"General Jiang Kai, if the emperor is in any danger, you will take the blame and punish yourself, do you hear me?" Tuo Sheng gave Jiang Kai a sly look with a sly smile, then turned and ran away.

In Luoyang City, Jue Tu had already led his troops to hold up the battle flag and shouted loudly. The thieves had a guilty conscience, thinking that Fang Yun and Xue Ju had all been eliminated, they were so frightened that they quickly closed the four doors and dispatched troops to defend.

According to the cluster arrangement, General Wu Ming led a team of Imperial Guards to lure Manchu Wenwu into the Hall of Shuilong Scholars, intimidating the ministers to agree to abolish the initial repair, and make King Yu the emperor. Faced with the opposition of the ministers, Wu Ming raised his mouth and immediately raised his sword and commanded the soldiers to kill the ministers. Suddenly, the hall of water and dragon scholars was splattered with blood, and ghosts cried and wolves howled.

"Your Majesty, this traitor Tusheng is going to set up another emperor. It seems that we must contact the excavating army, and then open the city gates to welcome King Qin's army to kill the rebels!" Axi looked anxiously at the torch outside the window in the bedroom. Shaking around, knowing that Tuo Sheng was plotting to usurp the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he quickly leaned on Chuxiu and said secretly.

"Axi, now that we are all under house arrest by that thief named Tuosheng, how can we go out and contact Qutu?" Chuxiu asked with a livid complexion.

"Your Majesty, then Axi can open the city gate by himself!" Axi smiled leisurely at Chuxiu.

"Zitong, how do you, a woman, break out of the prison and open the city gate?" Chuxiu wiped Axi's cloudy temples, speaking in panic.

"Your Majesty, in this way, I will pretend to be seriously ill and die, and let those guards send me out, and I will find a soldier's armor to dress up and open the gate of Luoyang!" A Xi had an idea, and very shrewdly suggested to Chuxiu road.

In the middle of the night, the moon shadow was vast, and the flowers and branches were swaying. Suddenly, the maids in the bedroom cried loudly, saying that the empress had died of an infectious disease. The guards were afraid that Axi’s body would spread the virus, so they hurried in to check. On Ah Xi's pale and haggard face, the imperial guards were horrified to find that there was purple blood on his mouth. They panicked and immediately forced the maid to wrap Ah Xi with a roll of silk, carried him out of the palace, and threw it casually into the suburbs.

At this moment, the sound of the wind made Luoyang's wilderness extremely terrifying. A guard guarding the corpse tremblingly found the Queen's corpse wriggling suddenly. His hand had already firmly jammed his throat, followed by a sap, knocking out the imperial guard completely. The zombie-like Ah Xi quickly cleaned up the garbage on his body, put on the armor of the imperial guard, and swaggered He came to the gate of Luoyang City calmly and held up the token calmly.

"My lord has an order. The Duke of Yue leads the troops to serve the king, and immediately open the city to meet the army!" Ah Xi's earnest expression made the guards immediately move to open the main gate, and Cheng Rong, who was driving the bay red horse, saw that the gate had opened. Immediately overjoyed, Judu waved the spear in his hand, and tens of thousands of elite tiger and cardinal cavalry rushed into the city like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. The guards surrendered immediately when they saw the city was broken.

"Hey! Master Cheng Rong, Marshal Kuetu!" At this moment, Axi snatched a war horse and stopped in front of Qutu.

"Empress?" A Xi took off his helmet, a strand of blue hair was flowing, and Kuu Tu quickly recognized A Xi, and his eyebrows were beaming.

"Ku Tu, the emperor is under house arrest in the bedroom by traitors, let's enter the palace immediately and kill the traitors!" Axi said to Qu Tu immediately without further instructions.

"Ju Tu will obey the Queen's will!" Hu Tu agreed, and immediately led the Huben army with Cheng Rong to enter the palace. The tufted general Jiang Kai led the imperial guards to defend with all his strength, but was killed by Di Tuu savagely. Kai held the treasured sword and slashed straight at Qutu. The Qutu spear turned back to the carbine, and immediately stabbed Jiang Kai with five steps of blood. Cheng Rong took the opportunity to raise his sword and cut off Jiang Kai's head.

Seeing that Jiang Kai was killed, Tuosheng was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran for his life. He was intercepted and killed by Qutu bravely. It took only half an hour, the eunuchs and guards in the palace were bleeding into rivers, and the corpses overlapped.

Tuo Sheng was easily captured alive by Dug Tu, and he knelt at Chu Xiu's feet with one hand in his hand. Chu Xiu immediately became furious, pulled out his imperial sword, stabbed Tuo Sheng, cut Tuo Sheng into three pieces on the spot, and chopped his body into pieces.

"Your Majesty, my minister Jue Tu was framed by traitors. He specially assisted the Empress Dowager and led his troops back to the teacher to rescue her. Please forgive me." Kue Tu immediately put down his spear and knelt down in front of Chu Xiu.

"Zheng Guogong, I have really been stupid these days. I actually listened to the traitor's slander and forced you loyal ministers to this point. I really have no face to rule the world again. Digging, you report to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to re-register the Great Zhou Dynasty. "Chuxiu immediately burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you are the foundation of the Great Zhou, if you don't want to govern the Great Zhou from the dragon position, then the ministers will have to live in seclusion!" Jue Tu said, clasping his hands.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to immediately execute Fang Yunxue, who is still in Zhaoguan, who is still resisting the king's master, so as to reassure the people!" Cheng Rong quickly reported.
