After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

Seeking to usurp the throne is equivalent to family affairs? !

Duke Zhen was shocked when he received the letter, and Wen Lubai whispered good words for Chu Shao in his ear. Both sons were protecting Chu Qingxu, and even the emperor himself didn't mind being confiscated from the throne.

Duke Zhen didn't want to worry about it anymore.

As soon as the Duke's Mansion made a statement, the generals who were shaken in the court also thought that this was really the empress's family affairs, thinking that the empress should stop after a while, thinking that it would calm down in a few days and the property would return to the original owner.

But in the eyes of the common people, this means that the emperor is openly partial to the demon queen, and even believes that this "unjust" purge at all was ordered by the emperor to do it.

Folk storytellers even insinuated that the two emperors and empresses were of the same breed, murdering loyal ministers together, causing heated discussions among the public.

"After all, if you are a child of a foreigner, how can you really be of the same heart as my Han people?"

"Wen Taifu was entrusted by the late emperor to help the government, and he was also wary of the emperor's partiality to the mother's family in the north. Fortunately, he did not favor the mother's family, but instead favored the subjugated minister of the dilapidated old country in Nanqi!"

"Isn't this considered a fool? Knowing that Chu Shao is the scourge of Nanqi and the biggest enemy of the entire Zhongqin, he concealed his identity for him, helped him sit in the back seat, and made the people of Zhongqin kneel down to worship an enemy whose hands were stained with the blood of the people of the country. , is simply absurd!"

"It's also a male empress, Ye Yin devotes herself to the country and the people, but the demon empress Chu doesn't know what is right and wrong to harm the country and mess up the government! Zhongqin is in danger!"

"It's nothing more than liking a man, but he was so luscious that he handed over the jade seal and the tiger talisman, allowing a Nanqi barbarian to sit on the throne. Now there are probably two emperors sitting in the hall!"

"If the sky cannot accommodate two suns, how can a country accommodate two monarchs?!"

Under the overwhelming public grievances, even the little beggar's ballad began to ridicule that there are two "suns" in the sky, and only hoped that there would be a "Hou Yi" who could shoot down these two "poisonous suns" that cover the sky and the moon, and help the Another Mingjun is on the throne!

Today the morning clock strikes again.

Everyone knows that the emperor is trapped in the cold palace, and the court meeting has been suspended for half a month. Since the last time he beheaded the servant of the Ministry of punishment in the Taiyang Palace, the court bell has not rang again.

Today, however, it rang strangely, and it had been ringing continuously since before dawn, and after sunrise, all the subjects in the entire capital knew of the movement.

Huai Zhen, who was trapped in the "cold palace", also heard it.

He has been in the cold palace for three full days.

After three days of closing the palace door, it was finally opened from the outside, and the person who came was not Wen Yan, but Si Yun.

"Your Majesty, please follow me." Si Yun did not bring any guards behind him.

"Is it Chu Shao who wants to see me?" Huai Zhen stepped out of the main hall, looked into Si Yun's eyes and asked, "Is he finally willing to see me?"

"Young master only asked me to take you to Taiyang Hall."

The clock is still ringing in my ears.

"Taiyang Palace is the place where the court goes up. He summoned all the officials into the palace, and then he wants to see me?"

Huai Zhen didn't understand the deep meaning of Chu Shao's move for a while, did he want to return the throne?

Outside the Taiyang Hall, officials were already standing. There were only ten people left in the line of civil servants, and 50 people in the line of military generals.

But half a month ago, the number of civil servants was equal to that of military commanders.

Such a huge disparity in numbers made everyone panic. Even if they knew that something strange happened in today's court meeting, no one dared to disobey Chu Shao's order. Whose nine clans were killed?

The eunuch standing on the high platform was still Wen Yan, Wen Yan's face was livid and preoccupied, and he couldn't even shout the words "the queen is here" without any breath.

Huaizhen was brought to the inner hall by Si Yun. Through the screen, he saw Chu Shao in a fine attire striding up to the high platform of the main hall, and sat on the dragon chair very skillfully. Still water.

No one saluted Chu Shao, and Huai Zhen, who was hiding outside the screen, realized that after he returned to Beijing, the power of the jade seal in Chu Shao's hand would be greatly reduced.

Just like what Murong said, this is the capital of Zhongqin after all, and Chu Qingxu, whose identity as Nanqi has been exposed, will not win the hearts of the people even if he holds the military power, and this situation will collapse completely sooner or later.

Huai Zhen wanted to come forward to rescue Chu Shao, and told the ministers that Chu Shao's recent actions were all at his behest, and that the turbulent waves were about to counterattack, and Huai Zhen was willing to stand in the way for Chu Shao.

Si Yun only moved a little under his feet, and Si Yun pressed his shoulder with a palm, "Be at peace, Your Majesty, the queen has not called you to see me yet."

The strength in his hand was very heavy, as if he was escorting a prisoner.

Huaizhen frowned, "Let go."

But Si Yun asked back, "Does Your Majesty want to fight against me?" Si Yun squeezed hard with one hand on Huai Zhen's unhealed arrow wound, and blood oozed from his shoulder almost immediately.

Under the severe pain, Huai Jiugu's face turned pale, and he looked at Si Yun in disbelief.

Si Yundao: "Young Master said, the old wounds and new wounds on your shoulders are all your weaknesses. As long as I grasp your weaknesses, am I afraid that I won't be able to subdue you?"

"Si Yun, are you talking to me in this tone?"

Si Yun raised his small face and tried his best to put on an air of embarrassment because of his power, "I have long since disliked you!"

Huaizhen was slightly angry, and raised his hand to fight back, but the wound on his shoulder was pinched by Si Yun, and he couldn't use his hands at all. Si Yun restrained him with two moves, "Your Majesty, please be more obedient, the young master never said that you won't let me Beat you."

Huaizhen: "..."

His left shoulder was injured, his right hand was cut behind his back, and he was suppressed for a while.

Although Si Yun is very skilled, he is by no means Huai Jiugu's opponent. Today, he only pinpointed Huai Zhen's wound, and the victory is ineffective.

Huai Zhen endured a sharp pain in his shoulder, and wanted to resist, but suddenly saw Chu Shao in the main hall throw a memorial down.

"Ning Yuanqiu, why did you write the allusion of Houyi shooting the sun in the memorial? Do you want to remind the hall that there is only one sun in the sky, but there are two monarchs in the world?"

Ning Yuanqiu stepped out of the ranks of civil servants, looked up at Chu Shao whose temperament had changed greatly, and knelt down and said: "Since your majesty has returned to court, there is indeed something wrong with your queen sitting on the dragon chair. Zhongqin cannot have two emperors." .”

Ning Yuanqiu is Huaizhen's confidant, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are now loyal to Huaizhen.

Chu Shao purged Wen Teng's party, and the group applauded, but today Chu Shao obviously wanted to replace Huai Zhen, so it was naturally impossible for this group of confidants to be convinced.

As soon as Ning Yuanqiu said this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and echoed: "Please return the jade seal and tiger amulet, and retreat to the harem."

Chu Shao's eyes flashed the relief that no one noticed, and he said: "Everyone, get up."

He became gentle again, making all the officials mistakenly think that Chu Shao really wanted to return the throne to him—this group of people are so loyal to Huaizhen, so they are naturally willing to treat Huaizhen's sweetheart with tolerance.

They stood up, but saw Chu Shao say with a smile: "It is true that a country cannot have two monarchs, just like there is an extra sun in the sky, and you have to find a shooter to get rid of it. Today, I invite everyone to witness it together. What is shooting the sun?"

All the ministers looked dumbfounded, Chu Shao glanced at the inner hall, "Si Yun, bring people up."

Si Yun took the order, and before taking Huai Zhen to the hall, he first took off Huai Zhen's coat, then messed up his hair, and then escorted him to the main hall.

What the ministers saw was Huai Zhen, who was in a mess with blood on his shoulders.

"My lord!!"

Ning Yuanqiu was shocked, he couldn't believe that Chu Shao dared to treat Huai Zhen like this!Even when he was in Nanqi that day, Huai Zhen never treated Chu Qingxu materially badly!

Huai Zhen didn't care about his own image for a long time, his eyes were firmly stuck on Chu Shao, trying to catch a trace of intolerance or pity on his face - but unfortunately there was nothing.

"When we got married that day, you promised that no matter what I want, you will give me." Chu Shao raised his hand and touched the dragon head on the armrest of the dragon chair, "Huaizhen, I want this dragon chair, how dare you give it to me?" ?"

Huai Zhen seemed not to know Chu Shao who was so high up at the moment, "Do you really want it?"

Chu Shao avoided his gaze, "Of course it is true, I have warned you long ago, if you keep me by your side, this throne is destined to sit for a short time."

Huai Zhen would not break his promise to Chu Shao again, he resigned to his fate: "I have already given everything to you, Yuxi, Bingfu, the whole world is already yours."

"Then make a statement." Chu Qingxu gave Si Yun a look.

Si Yun understood, raised his foot and kicked Huaizhen's buttocks, kneeling Huaizhen in front of Chu Shao.

The ministers were shocked!Tu Wei even wanted to draw his sword, but when he touched his waist, it was empty - when he went to court today, all the generals' weapons were handed over.

Knowing that there was going to be chaos, Chu Shao raised a finger, and the silver-armored soldiers immediately rushed into the Taiyang Hall, surrounding the officials and Huaizhen from inside to outside.

All of them are holding sharp weapons, ready to kill at any time - this is the force that Huai Zhen bestowed on Chu Shao to protect himself, and Chu Shao makes the best use of it.

This group of soldiers has no extra feelings, they are only dispatched by the tiger talisman, and whoever holds the king's tiger talisman will be respected by them.

Even if this group of iron soldiers were brought out by Huai Zhen, it didn't prevent them from standing on the opposite side of Huai Jiugu today.

The inside of the hall was completely surrounded by this group of soldiers, and the outside of the hall must also be completely surrounded.

Chu Shao glanced at the ranks of aggrieved military officers, "The soldiers under your command, in the final analysis, are still dispatched by the palace."

The Wu Palaces dared not speak out.

Chu Shao looked at Huaizhen again, "Jiu Gu, since you have decided to give up your seat to me, you should let the officials see your sincerity. According to your Zhongqin etiquette, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he should kneel three times and nine times. Kowtow is a great gift."

The scene of a year ago suddenly flashed before Huaizhen's eyes. Chu Shao knelt at his feet, looking up at his pale and handsome face, with blood dripping on his forehead, his eyes were as clear as water, and he looked up at Huaizhen longingly, the corners of his mouth even had With a smile.

This innocent and pitiful face was reconciled with Chu Qingxu in front of him, but he was no longer stupid and foolish, and he no longer harbored pure expectations. He had a cold face, eyes full of indifference, and looked down at him condescendingly.

The hair on the back of the head was suddenly grabbed by someone, followed by an irresistible force, Huaizhen was pressed down by Si Yun and knocked loudly on the head.

The muffled sound hit everyone's hearts, and their mouths couldn't close in shock.

When Chu Shao saw Huai Zhen raised his head, his forehead was already bruised. He tightened his sleeves, and his hands trembled slightly due to excessive force.

Huaizhen finally felt the sharp pain of concussion, the feeling of rubbing his dignity on the ground, the pain and humiliation of Chu Shao that day.

The moment he raised his eyes to look at Shao'er, he finally empathized with himself, and really began to reflect on his past cruelty and despicableness. Chu Shao didn't feed him a Love Gu, his heart was already soft and kind.

"Your Majesty!!" Ning Yuanqiu screamed in pain, and the military officers were filled with righteous indignation and clenched their fists.

"No one is allowed to be rude to Chu Qingxu!!" Huai Zhen said hoarsely, "I owe him what I owe him, and I should pay it off."

There was no need for Si Yun to force him anymore, Huaizhen stood up by himself, took three steps forward, and voluntarily bent his knees and kowtowed under Chu Shao's gaze.

He lost the nobleness of the Zhongqin royal family, lost the dignity of the king of a country, and bumped his forehead against the cold floor. Under the witness of the officials and in front of the soldiers he personally trained, he voluntarily broke his pride and held it to Chu Shao bloody. in front of you.

Just like that day when Chu Shao broke down and knelt in front of him begging for mercy—exactly, exactly the same.

The justifiable lord of a powerful country, the king of a country, is willing to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the minister of subjugation.

The officials who were still bloody cried loudly, as if they had been robbed of their virginity.

This cry is really sweet.

Chu Shao closed his eyes and listened to the mournful cries of Zhongqin's government and the public. At this moment, seeing the unstoppable blood on Huaizhen's forehead, he was finally relieved of the humiliation and shame he had suffered in his mother country that day.

A tight thread was torn off in the air, Chu Qingxu forced a smile, but two lines of tears unconsciously slipped from the corners of her eyes.
