The Ugly Empress

Seeing that Teng Yun didn't speak, Zhao Tong and Ruixue were very anxious.

Teng Yun stared out the window and thought for a while, then said: "We can't persuade you about this matter, it's useless to persuade, maybe it's counterproductive."

Zhao Tong thought that Teng Yun didn't want to help, Ruixue covered her mouth and wept hard, Teng Yun said again: "If King Xue is willing to let Feng Ming go, can Lu Shichen surrender?"

Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I went to the prison beforehand, and Lu Shichen meant that he would not surrender, but if Feng Ming is released, it is really uncertain."

Teng Yundao: "If Lu Shichen is willing to surrender, I have a way to save Feng Ming and Zhao Lu."

Rui Xue said: "What is the solution? If the King can let King Feng and the general go, Prime Minister Lu will definitely think twice."

Teng Yun said: "No one can persuade King Xue, he is angry, and trying to persuade him will be counterproductive."

He paused as he spoke, and said: "I'll trouble General Zhao to go to the prison, see Lu Shichen again, and let him surrender."

Zhao Tong felt that it was not too late, so he immediately left the palace and went to the prison.

Teng Yun comforted Rui Xue a few words, and went to the front hall by himself.

When Teng Yun passed by, Xue Junliang was reading the brochure, but it was obvious at a glance that Xue Junliang was not paying attention, as if he was thinking about something.

When Teng Yun approached, Xue Junliang realized that someone was coming, raised his head, saw that it was Teng Yun, he was relieved, rubbed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Are you here to accompany me for lunch?"

Teng Yun laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's already afternoon, and the time for lunch is already past."

Xue Junliang put down the notebook and said, "I'm so busy that I forgot the time."

Teng Yun said: "Your Majesty, please take care of your body, don't overwork yourself."

Xue Junliang couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, why do you think this sentence is so unconvincing when it comes out of your mouth?"

Teng Yun was also a little embarrassed to hear him teasing himself. It is true that Teng Yun is the kind of person who always pushes himself to the point of exhaustion.

Xue Junliang waved at him, signaling him to sit down, Teng Yun sat down next to him, Xue Junliang said: "What's on your mind?"

Teng Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "No."

Xue Junliang teased and said, "You must have come here because of Zhao Lu's affairs, otherwise why would Teng Qing, who is so incomprehensible, suddenly care about me?"

Seeing that Teng Yun didn't speak, he said that he was right, and said, "There is no need to beat around the bush between us. Since you want to say something, just say it."

Teng Yun paused for a moment, then finally sighed, and said: "Your Majesty must have known everything about me very clearly. I really want to plead for Zhao Lu, but I don't want to plead for him."

"You think he's annoying too."

"Your Majesty is wrong," Teng Yun turned his head, looked at Xue Junliang and said with a smile: "I am not a king after all, and I can't understand the king's mood in this life. Your Majesty has many difficulties, which I can understand, but Zhao Lu's thoughts , I understand better."

Xue Junliang said: "Oh? Then what is Zhao Lu thinking, it is clearly to provoke my mind."

Teng Yundao: "That's what he really thinks. Ruixue is right, Zhao Lu is begging for death, and I understand Zhao Lu's thoughts, because I understand his feeling of begging for death."

Xue Junliang suddenly became nervous when he heard the sound, and stretched out his hand to cover Teng Yun's hand, pulled him to his lips, kissed him lightly, and said, "My heart aches when you say such things."

Teng Yun said with a smile: "But I have personally experienced these things, confrontation, loyalty and family affection, Teng Yun will never forget these."

The two of them had never mentioned the name "Teng Yun". This time, they mentioned it so bluntly, which suddenly made Xue Junliang feel as if he had passed away.

Xue Junliang didn't know how to talk about it for a while, so many things went around in circles.

Teng Yundao: "Zhao Lu is a loyal minister, Your Majesty shouldn't have killed him. At first I was thinking whether to persuade Your Majesty, if His Majesty doesn't kill him, Zhao Lu will undoubtedly be in pain, and he doesn't like to say anything to others Said, His Majesty must be aware of his feelings for Feng Ming."

"Then you finally came to intercede for him?"

"This is my selfishness."

Teng Yun said unhurriedly: "Honestly... I don't want you to bear the reputation of killing loyal ministers. It doesn't sound good. Your ambition is only short of sitting in the country at the end, and your merits and virtues will be completed. This last act Shivering, are you going to destroy yourself? Even if my words make you unhappy, I don't regret saying so. "

Unexpectedly, when his voice fell, Xue Junliang suddenly laughed and said, "How could I blame you?"

As he said, he stretched out his hand to pinch Teng Yun's chin, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth lightly, and then pressed his forehead against his forehead, and said: "You are doing it for my own good, I can hear it naturally, I'm just angry with Zhao Lu deliberately provoked me...do I really look like a villain?"

Teng Yun felt a little uncomfortable being so close to him. Although the two of them had already done that kind of thing, Teng Yun had always been thin-skinned and hadn't been trained by Xue Junliang to the point of proficiency, so he had no choice but to lean back. , but there is an armrest at the back, and there is no way to retreat.

But Xue Junliang followed closely, let him lean on the armrest, kissed Teng Yun's neck, and said with an ambiguous smile: "You must be sincere in asking for help, right? Since Teng Qing wants to beg me, I naturally have to give up. It's full of the king's airs, right... you take it off yourself, or should I take it off for you?"

Teng Yun successfully blushed by Xue Junliang's rascal's words, turned his head away, and said: "The sky is still bright, Your Majesty..."

He wanted to avoid Xue Junliang's kiss with this kind of action, but unfortunately it seemed to expose more skin to the other party.

Xue Junliang bit his Adam's apple lightly, and twirled it with his tongue. Teng Yun couldn't stand the teasing, so he snorted, his waist felt a little weak, and his breathing became heavy.

Xue Junliang had figured out Teng Yun's veins a long time ago, so he naturally teased him, and Teng Yun was not good at this, he only had to be honest and obedient, sometimes Xue Junliang couldn't stand it, and he had to Put down your face and beg.

Teng Yun's front was untied by Xue Junliang, but he did not take off his clothes. Xue Junliang sometimes kissed Teng Yun's naked skin lightly, and sometimes bit the bulge on Teng Yun's chest through the clothes, which made Teng Yun's breath unsteady. Accidentally stretched out his hand to grab it, and swept the folder on the table to the ground.

Xue Junliang didn't care about it, and seemed to want to come once in the warm pavilion. Fortunately, the dragon chair was big enough, but when Teng Yun had been teased by Xue Junliang and forgot to hide, Jiang Yu's voice suddenly rang through the door.

Jiang Yu raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty! Please see me after ten thousand years!"

Because the Nuan Pavilion is sound-proofed, Jiang Yu was afraid that he could not hear him from inside, so he yelled several times.

Teng Yun was terrified by the shout, he had been on the battlefield so many times, his body was no longer as weak as before, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Xue Junliang away in shock.

Xue Junliang was unprepared and knocked on the back of the chair, but it didn't hurt too much. Most importantly, Xue Junliang's lips were broken by his own teeth.

Xue Junliang hissed, covered his mouth, and pretended to be in great pain. Teng Yun thought that he had hurt him too badly.

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "Lick it for me."

Seeing his smiling face, Teng Yun knew that he must be fine, so he played with himself again, so he gave Xue Junliang a glare, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes.

Xue Houyang stood outside for a long time, and finally saw Jiang Yu leading him in. As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, Teng Yun was there, and Xue Junliang looked at him with a gloomy face. Xue Houyang suddenly felt that he came at the wrong time.

Xue Junliang said: "What's wrong with Houyang, so eager to see Gu?"

Xue Houyang glanced at Teng Yun, as if he was asking for help, and said: "Your Majesty, just now there is news from the prison that Lu Shichen is willing to surrender."

"Oh?"

Xue Junliang laughed, seemed to find it very interesting, and said, "What about his conditions?"

"No conditions."

"This is really a novelty." Xue Junliang said: "The bookworm Lu Shichen is willing to surrender, but he doesn't make any conditions. Gu is very surprised."

As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "Who is going to persuade you to surrender?"

Xue Houyang said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is General Zhao Tong."

"Zhao Tong."

Xue Junliang repeated, only for a while, then smiled, seemed to understand something, but immediately restrained his expression, and said: "Zhao Tong has made merit this time, give him some rewards."

Xue Junliang seemed to have no doubts about Zhao Tong's persuasion to capitulate, and didn't say anything else. He just asked about Empress Li, and asked Teng Shang to come to the palace often to see Teng Yun in the future.

Although Teng Shang has never been suspended, Xue Houyang has been doing his best to guard the city these days. How could Teng Shang leave him alone?

But Teng Shang didn't want to enter the court, so Xue Houyang naturally didn't force him, and now he looks very good.

After Zhao Tong responded to Teng Yun, he rushed to the prison immediately. When he saw Lu Shichen, Lu Shichen naturally refused to surrender. Zhao Tong said, "Your Majesty will release Feng Ming only if you are willing to surrender."

Lu Shichen sneered, "General, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Although Lu is a nerd, he has been in the officialdom for so long. Is your word credible? Ask yourself whether you believe it or not."

Zhao Tong really didn't believe it himself, so he had to say: "Teng Nanhou promised to save Feng Ming and General Zhao Lu, believe it or not, if it's your problem, and Teng Nanhou couldn't help him, then you are the one who regrets it. Anyway, my words have been brought."

Lu Shichen was a little surprised when he heard the words "Tengnanhou". When he was imprisoned in Tengnanhou's mansion, he met Teng Yun a few times. Although they didn't meet much, he still admired Teng Yun's personality. So he said: "If it is possible, I will go out with the king, and I will surrender. If it is someone who lied to Lu, anyway, Lu will have a life."

Zhao Lu was imprisoned. He had no father, no mother, and no brothers or sisters. Naturally, he had nothing to worry about. Now in the damp prison cell, there was only a gleam of light coming in through the transom. Instead, he felt a lot more open in his heart. The burden of depression is gone.

The next door didn't know who was locked up, either the sound of smashing the wall or the sound of iron chains, Zhao Lu was annoyed at first, but after getting used to hearing it, he was no longer bothered.

He was lying on the ground with his hands under his pillow. The ground was very cold and a bit gloomy. In this environment, it was actually the most suitable for recalling things. Zhao Lu always recalled the past unconsciously, happy, unhappy, painful, happy, The scene where I met Feng Ming for the first time, the scene where Feng Ming was raped for the first time, or the scene where Feng Ming flattered me by wearing women's clothes...

Zhao Lu was lying on his back, accompanied by the sound of "pang, pang, bang" smashing against the wall, and the sound of "cracking" iron chains, he unconsciously shed tears, which stained his temple hair.

Zhao Lu has never cried in his life, never cried when he was parting from life and death, never cried when he was shrouded in a battlefield, and he never thought that when everything came to a conclusion, his eyes would turn sour.

The jailer came to deliver the food, and pointed to the next door with a smile as he walked, "Who is this gate, such a big force?"

"Hey, madman, I'm afraid he will run away. It is said that he is called King Feng."

"Feng Wang? That's not a big deal, but now I'm a prisoner."

Hearing this, Zhao Lu suddenly turned over and bumped into the railing with a "bang" sound. He didn't care if he knocked over the food on one side, but tried to look to the side, but the railing was so narrow, how could he see the side.

Zhao Lu wanted to call Feng Ming, but he never thought that after three days in a cell, he was only separated from the person he was thinking of...

Zhao Lu clutched the railing tightly, his nails stuck into his flesh, and slammed the cell door twice. The prison guard watched Zhao Lu slam the door madly, and did not dare to approach after cursing a few words, so he could only say fiercely: " Damn it, a down-and-out general dares to be so tyrannical, grandpa will be honest, and he will be executed Ling Chi in two days, what a fuss."

It seemed that he was still not relieved, and Zhao Lu didn't know what he should do to resolve the depression in his heart, so he could only whisper "Feng Ming" over and over again.

The sound of the next door hitting the wall suddenly stopped, and there was a moment of silence, followed by a faint choking sound.

Two days later, because Xue Junliang wanted to become queen, he pardoned Zhao Lu for his rudeness, and released him from prison. Zhao Tong personally went to pick Zhao Lu out of prison.

Zhao Lu wanted to see if the next door was Feng Ming, but the cell next door was already empty.

Within two days, Zhao Lu wrote a letter requesting to resign and return to his hometown, Xue Junliang did not make things difficult for him, approved the papers, and rewarded him with a lot of money.

Because of his literary talent, Shen Yi was in charge of drafting the imperial edict for the empress. He chose a date. In the early court, Xue Junliang had someone read the imperial edict, announcing the matter of making Teng Yun the male empress to the world.

The canonization ceremony was naturally indispensable, Xue Junliang didn't want to make it simple, he wanted everyone to know that he valued Teng Yun, so that no one dared to neglect Teng Yun.

At the canonization ceremony, Xue Junliang awarded the phoenix seal, and had someone read out the imperial edict, and then all the officials congratulated, knelt down, and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and Teng Yun was officially changed to queen on the jade certificate of the ancestral temple.

After the canonization came the banquet. Xue Junliang prepared meticulously for Teng Yun, everything was indispensable, and everything was exquisite. Teng Yun was naturally moved.

All the officials came to the banquet, Xue Junliang was in good spirits, and drank a lot of wine. After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Yu came over and whispered something to Xue Junliang. Xue Junliang frowned first, then smiled, and waved Jiang Yu down. .

At this time, Teng Yun was a little flustered, not because he drank too much, but because he knew Jiang Yu was here to say something.

Jiang Yu didn't expect King Xue to react like this. After all, this matter was not a trivial matter, and he thought it would make King Xue furious.

Xue Junliang squinted his eyes and smiled, he seemed to be drunk, his eyes met with Teng Yun's, Teng Yun trembled, and looked away guiltily.

But Xue Junliang stood up and said: "The lonely head is a little dizzy, come with me."

Teng Yun nodded, but Xue Junliang asked Jiang Yu to prepare the chariots and horses. Jiang Yu was taken aback. It was already dark and it was time for gate control.

Xue Junliang and Teng Yun got into the car, and Xue Junliang asked people to go to the north gate of the city. At the gate of the city, Xue Junliang helped Teng Yun get out of the car, and walked up the gate tower together.

The city tower was very high, and the lights above were brightly lit. You could see every move under the city. A carriage left the city and was heading outside. It was said that no one could enter or leave the gate at this time.

Xue Junliang stared at the carriage, suddenly laughed, took off his cloak, put it on Teng Yun, and said, "The night wind is strong, is it cold?"

Teng Yun shook his head, as if he was also staring into the distance, he was relieved that the carriage was no longer in sight.

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "You've done something wrong, so you're nervous?"

Teng Yun pursed his lips and said, "I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty."

Xue Junliang squeezed his hand, because there were many guards standing behind him, he didn't go too far, just sighed: "I won't punish you, how can I be willing?"

He added, "I'm telling the truth."

Teng Yun didn't speak, Xue Junliang suddenly took out something from his sleeve, and Teng Yun was startled when he saw it by the light of the fire.

Ruixue once said that in order to save Feng Ming, Zhao Lu was willing to take the risk to go to Mingshui, but lost Xiaoyin in the end.

At this time, it was this small seal that Xue Junliang held in his hand.

Xue Junliang said: "There are many things that I can't do. It's not because I'm indifferent or mean. Since I met you, I feel that I can't be more cold-hearted..."

As he spoke, he weighed the small seal in his hand, and then threw it down from the tower with great force. The night wind was strong, and the small seal fell into the darkness immediately, and he couldn't find it.

Teng Yun looked at Xue Junliang and said with a smile, "So you already knew."

Xue Junliang stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of Teng Yun's nose, and said with a smile: "I also know that you are soft-hearted and will definitely let them go."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "It's fine to leave, I believe they have been in prison for the past few days, and they have thought clearly about the future."

Teng Yun held Xue Junliang's hand instead, and said, "Let's go, it's too cold here."

When the people heard that King Xue had a male queen, they thought it was a scourge with a seductive appearance, but it turned out to be a general with no good looks.

This caused the common people's views on the male empress to change a little, and gradually some people heard that the male empress was the Marquis of Tengnan and the governor at that time. In a short time, Teng Yun's reputation among the common people also changed a lot.

Although it is often mentioned after dinner, it's just that there is a little more respect.

-

Xue Guo has a male queen who is talked about.

There is such a saying among the common people. There was a wandering warlock who once said that although the empress is a man, she can keep the country safe for a hundred years.

Later, King Xue changed the name of Yunfeng Palace, and the inscription was written by the male queen, and it was called Tengyun Palace.
