Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 774
"Cheng Rong, why are you and Master Ming Chao the only ones meeting the Holy One at the Shuilong Shuren Hall this morning?" Qu Tu grabbed Cheng Rong's left hand and asked loudly.

"Digging, the emperor believed the villain's rumors, and ordered us to be arrested and imprisoned!" Cheng Rong said with a sad smile at Digging.

"Where is that Si'er?" Jue Tu screamed and opened his eyes. At this time, it was already bright outside, and he felt cold sweat soaking through his shirt.

"Quetu, are you dreaming?" Beside Quetu, Xinyue was already fully dressed, and wiped off the sweat of Quetu.

"Xinyue, why are you up so early?" Que Tu felt very sorry.

"Ju Tu, it's time to go to court. Didn't you make an appointment to meet the emperor with Lord Cheng Wangming to show your heart?" Xinyue Dan raised a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Yeah, Xinyue, I'm a little worried these days, so my memory is too bad!" Juetai smiled apologetically at Xinyue.

In the Shuilong Shuren Palace, an urgent letter from Shuilongguan was placed on Shuijian's case. All the ministers were terrified by the emperor's silence. After leaving the country of Yan on the border, Xue Ju, the king of Yue, was executed by my order the day before yesterday. So far, all the small countries on the border are very scared, and they have turned to Xirong one after another. Yan Hou and Xue Ju jointly separatist against me at the beginning, but now they are trapped and killed by Xirong Boli. What do you say? , how should we deal with it?"

All the ministers in the Shuilong Shuren Hall immediately whispered to each other, discussing endlessly.

"Your Majesty, although Xi Rong has annexed the Yan Kingdom, their cavalry have long been defeated by our army. Now they have no ability to invade the south again. I believe that the imperial court should quickly confer a new Marquis of Yan and rush to the border to strengthen the local defense and deter them. Xirong." Cheng Rong cleverly cupped his hands and raised the imperial wat.

"Well, it's because King Cheng is brave and resourceful, so I chose a royal prince from the court to leave the pass to guard the north, build a border city, and threaten Xirong's Liaodong. In this way, Xirong will not dare to invade my Shuilongguan again in a short time." Shui Jian couldn't help but Again and again agreed.

"My Majesty, in fact, I still have a letter of credence submitted by Xirong, but this letter of credence is too rampant, so I dare not make a report." At his feet, he reported the report tremblingly.

"Phalanx? What memorial did Xi Rong have that he dared not report to me?" Shui Jian asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I'll submit it now." Fang Zhen turned pale with fright, took out a letter of credence from his sleeve and handed it to the imperial eunuch.

Shui Jian, who had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, quickly opened the letter of credence, read it for a long time, and suddenly flew into a rage, and his face was extremely gloomy.

"The barbarian of Xirong is so courageous!" Shui Jian was furious, and angrily threw out the memorial, which was directly thrown at Khug Tu's body.

Jug Tu hurriedly picked it up, read it carefully, and couldn't help being furious. It turned out that this Xirong Guoshu openly questioned that the Queen Mother Ping of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not worthy of motherhood at all. On the condition that the Queen Mother Ping was dethroned, he and the Great Zhou made a survey of the border of the Kingdom of Yan.

"Your Majesty, the Xirong traitors are simply sowing dissension. What right do they have to question our queen mother, and the country of Yan is our Great Zhou territory. What right does Xirong have to be the master and divide the territory of Yan Kingdom with our Great Zhou?" Filled with righteous indignation, he cried with blood and tears.

"King Zheng, I don't see it right, what kind of harsh conditions did Xi Rong put forward, at least you should explain it clearly to everyone?" Wei Hou, who had a sinister smile on his face, couldn't help but sneered at Qu Tu.

"That's enough, Xiao Dezi, immediately take my place and announce the Xirong Kingdom Book to all the ministers." Shui Jian couldn't help but sullenly said.

In a short time, all the officials in the court learned about the strange conditions of Xirong, which immediately aroused a lot of discussion among the officials.

"Oh, Empress Dowager Ping is such a dirty word that spreads all over the north and south, even Xirong knows that Empress Dowager Ping has misbehaved, she is a troublesome beauty, it is really embarrassing!"

"Shut up!" Shui Jian saw the important ministers talking and laughing at the harem, and suddenly became furious, and shouted loudly.

In Jianjia Palace, Baosi is stroking the guqin, staring at the bamboos outside the window lattice very dullly, the climate is cold and the north wind is bitter, which makes people tremble immediately, the graceful strings, the sound of the wind, as well as the fragrance of plum blossoms and books, linger in Baosi It made her feel extraordinarily sad.

"Jian Jia Gong is completely ashamed this time, I really didn't expect it, shameless to this field, it's better to commit suicide?" Harsh mocking and insulting voices came from nowhere, the sound was like a needle pricking in the praise. Si's heart and mouth made Bao Si frown and stare.

"Your Majesty, why bother to talk to her? This must be a concubine from some palace. In order to please the powerful Concubine Min Gui, she deliberately bullied and slandered us. Your Majesty is lonely and free, and those villains can't slander her!" Mingyue sees that Baosi suddenly stops her jade fingers, and she can't help persuading Baosi softly.

"Mingyue, no, listening to those people's insults, I feel that there must be another big disturbance this morning!" Bao Si nodded worriedly.

In Luoyang Palace, concubines' rejection and discrimination against Baosi Jianjia Palace became more and more crazy, and the folk rumors about Empress Dowager Ping spread to Xirong became more and more unreasonable and very strange. Digging and Cheng Rong rode their horses in the market Above, there is a trace of someone spreading rumors everywhere.

"Quitu, Xi Rong took advantage of Xue Ju's beheading and conquered the country of Yan this time, but they tried to intimidate me at Shuilongguan and invade the south again, which has become a dream. Now Boli must have come up with countermeasures. Send a few spies to use scum such as Ma Wumen and Hua Gu to spread rumors everywhere, slander the reputation of the Empress Dowager Ping, so as to provoke internal strife between the emperor and the Empress Dowager Ping. So, this time, not only will we not be able to become the queen mother for a while, but we may also be slandered and framed by Ma Wumen as a fake hero who stole military exploits, we must not let our minds get distracted!" Cheng Rong stared at Qu Tu, Kind words to comfort.

"Brother Cheng, I've already thought it through! But this time Xirong is also involved in the trick of spreading rumors in Beijing, how should we rescue the Queen Mother?" Que Tu calmed down and asked Cheng Rong humbly. ,

"Quitu, Ma Wumen and Hua Gu found someone to write a letter to slander our military exploits, and on the other hand spread rumors in an attempt to create public opinion and encourage the people of the country to besiege us. Don't worry, if Xi Rong insulted the Queen Mother, the people of our Great Zhou will definitely work together and help each other. If Ma Wumen and other villains still want to take the opportunity to spread the rumors, it will expose their secret collusion with Xi Rong Ugly face." Cheng Rong explained to Qutu confidently.

"What qualifications does Baosi, a disastrous bitch, have to stay in the palace now? Madam, my concubine suggests that we simply send people around her Jianjia Palace to insult her, and let her be scolded to death!" Peony Palace, Chen Shi's The audience has become a good show for the concubines in the harem to curry favor with Concubine Min. Concubine Zhou, Concubine Hua, and others have added fuel and jealousy, scolding Baosi to a mess, condemning the emperor to depose the title of Queen Mother, and giving death to the end. .

"Dear sisters, in fact, this palace is also very impressed by the sensational rumors in the capital these past few days. Our queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty has such a bad reputation. It is really unfortunate for Great Zhou. But the queen mother is a queen mother after all. , His Majesty relies on her support to control the world, and now it is too heartless for the Emperor to depose the Empress Dowager just for the sake of the Yan Kingdom!" Concubine Min Gui said flirtatiously to the concubines.

"Your Majesty, it's better for the ministers and concubines to write letters to the emperor one after another, urging the emperor to depose the queen mother as soon as possible." Concubine Zhou hurriedly leaned forward and suggested.

"If all of us sisters agreed, then the emperor might not be able to rebel." Concubine Min Gui lamented falsely.

"Jianjia Palace is really shameless. The empress dowager's bedroom is so shameless. Even Xirong knows the good thing about the empress dowager and King Zheng's excavation. How can it be so embarrassing?" A group of palace people deliberately walked through the bamboo forest of Jianjia Palace, and there were bursts of ear-piercing sounds. jeers.

"It's really shameless. These people were sent by Concubine Min Gui to harass and coerce the Empress Dowager. Concubine Min Gui is clearly showing us face!" Hui Yue, who was pouted and furious, finally couldn't help but want to leave the palace to argue.

"Hui Yue, don't get angry, the empress is an exquisite heart, but now she wants to be a ninja, so let's not say a few words." Mingyue quickly pressed Huiyue's bright wrist.

The melodious sound of strings from Jianjia Palace, accompanied by the rustling of bamboo leaves, lingers over Luoyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, servant girl, Baosi is about to die after being harassed for the past few days. Our plan is to disrupt Baosi's daily life, making her restless and difficult to concentrate. Do you think we can do that?" Make the next move, find some people outside the palace, and deliberately insult Baosi outside the palace walls of Luoyang Palace?" Peony Palace, late at night, Concubine Min coldly pressed Qianqian's jade finger and placed it on the incense burner. Xiner took the opportunity to offer advice.

"No, Xin'er, we just want Baosi to lose control of herself until she dies of depression. The most important thing is that we don't do it myself, but let Baosi commit suicide by herself, so that the emperor can't blame me in the future." body!" Concubine Min showed a sly smile.
