Han Zigao

PS: ~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting next to Hou Andu, Zigao sighed secretly when he saw his arrogant appearance.He was the only one who could see that the emperor's smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

After drinking for three rounds, Hou Andu gradually became arrogant again. He sat in the first position on the left and began to lean back, acting flirtatiously.

The emperor still remained motionless, watching Hou Andu drink a glass of wine, and then he was already leaning forward and back.

Those civil servants were very angry and felt that he was really rude.But seeing that the emperor didn't seem to care at all, he had to give up indignantly.

That night, everyone climbed up again, watched some fireworks, and finally dispersed.

Hou Andu also said goodbye.

In the evening, after Chen Qian and Han Zigao took a bath, they didn't make love, they just analyzed the various practices of Hou Andu carefully, and then fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping until midnight, the smell of smoke gradually came from their noses, and the guards outside shouted loudly. Called: "The water (fire) is gone, and the Chongyun Palace is gone."

The two startled, Zigao grabbed Chen Qian and said, "Follow me and run out!"

Zhao Dahu's voice sounded: "Hurry up and put out the fire, protect the emperor!"

Wang Gonggong and others also ran in in panic and said: "Your Majesty, the Chongyun Palace is on fire, please take refuge temporarily!"

The two usually rest in the West Hall, but the Chongyun Hall is relatively close to the West Hall. The two picked up the weapons under the pillows, and Zigao pulled Chen Qian and ran out of the West Hall.The two stood at a high place far away from the Chongyun Palace and saw that the fire in the Chongyun Palace was not particularly large and was gradually brought under control.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate of the hall, and Hou Andu led a group of people, all of whom were hanging neatly, each holding a sword.He yelled, "Protect the Emperor!" and rushed in.

They rushed to the vicinity of Chongyun Palace.Shouting: "Hurry up and put out the fire, protect the emperor! Where is the emperor?!"

Chen Qian stood where she was, and smiled: "Don't be surprised, General. I'm here!"

Everyone looked up and saw Zigao and the emperor standing on the second floor not far away, and the guards behind them.Hou Andu threw away his sword and knelt down: "I was shocked to hear the news, and the rescue came too late. I deserve death!"

The other generals also dropped their swords and knelt down one after another.

Chen Qian still laughed loudly: "The general is sincere, what is the crime? Please get up quickly! The rest of you, get up too."

At this time, the servant came to report: "The fire has been extinguished."

Chen Qian smiled: "General, go back for now, I'm fine now!"

After Hou Andu saluted, he led the crowd back.

Zigao still returned to the West Palace with Chen Qian.Zigao was silent for a long while, and at this moment he had fully understood in his heart, and suddenly blamed himself: "Qian'er, I was too negligent, you have already told me that he has objections. I am still dubious, he has already replied Jing, I didn't transfer some soldiers to protect your safety, if he starts an incident tonight, we will be caught off guard."

Chen Qian gently took his hand and said: "Ah Man, it seems that he is indeed planning to rebel. He rushed into the inner courtyard of the palace with a weapon in his hand and armor tonight. Come on, the fire in the Chongyun Palace was not a coincidence, but a premeditated assassination. He saw that I was safe, and you all stood beside me. years of friendship."

Zigao felt guilty: "Xian'er, it's all my fault! I'm too kind of a woman!"

"Aman, you are too kind by nature, and you only value love and affection. I think it's a good thing that you haven't mobilized troops."

"Xi'er, why do you say that?"

"Aman, if you haven't mobilized troops, he won't suspect that we have suspicions about him. Otherwise, I will also mobilize troops. He has a large army stationed at Jingkou, and he doesn't have any heavy troops in the capital. You have already told me, Xiao Maha I wouldn’t join him in an incident, so I considered it again and again and never deployed troops.”

He stretched out his hand, and at this moment suddenly hugged Han Zigao in his arms, and continued: "I think even the general who is holding the sword today didn't understand his original intention, thinking that he really came to save you. I took advantage of the fire just now Looking carefully at the lights of those lanterns, Hou An saw that I was a little panicked, but the other generals were relieved. It can be seen that the other people came to save me sincerely, and he probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill me , or burned to death, he came to inquire about the affairs of the palace, but he also wanted to know where I was resting, I guess he didn’t know exactly. Otherwise, it might be the West Hall that caught fire today instead of the Chongyun Hall.”

Han Zigao leaned gently into Chen Qian's arms. At this moment, he was a man who sincerely admired him. In fact, he had expected everything a long time ago, and he was still calm. He knew that the most powerful general in the military would turn against him. He is really a courageous and courageous monarch who does not deploy heavy troops to protect himself.

In addition, he was unwilling to wrong others. What happened today was probably the last time he confirmed Hou Andu's intentions. He made sure again and again, but he also gave Hou Andu a chance, and he didn't want to wrong him.Compared with him, I am really too tender.

Han Zigao was also startled, it wasn't him who stopped the emperor again and again, he couldn't tolerate Hou Andu for such a long time, and his wife's kindness put the most beloved person in danger, if he was killed If he is killed, his whole family will be killed, including Zong'er, it will be difficult to survive. What a stupid woman's benevolence!

He gently broke away from Chen Qian's arms, looked up, but saw the admiration and gentle gaze of this beloved.He held Chen Qian's hand, feeling extremely guilty and crying.

How could Chen Qian not understand him?Seeing him crying, I reached out to wipe away the tears for him, and smiled dotingly: "My little man! My Great General Han! Why are you crying? You keep saying that you are a man, not a woman, call me As a daughter-in-law, why are you crying like a woman now?"

Seeing that Han Zigao was still guilty and sad, Chen Qian suddenly bit his earlobe gently, biting his pink ear, and smirked: "My little daughter-in-law, if you cry again, you will do it from now on." Not my man. I will suppress you every day."

Han Zigao smiled through his tears, and asked, "Xian'er, shall we change the bedroom?"

"No." He frowned: "I don't want to move back to the original bedroom."

But it turns out that he didn't live here originally, but this west hall is the farthest from his concubines in the harem, and it may take half an hour to walk there.Those concubines lived closer to the Queen Mother. He used to live in the main hall when he first succeeded to the throne, but after Han Zigao escaped, he had to bring his wives and concubines here. I and Han Zigao moved to the west hall, and the two hardly saw the concubines in the harem, and the only one who often came over was Zong'er.They don't live close either.But relatively recently.

"Okay, Ah Man, don't worry. We are safe for the time being. Hou An is frightened by this, and he is comforted and favored by me. He will not make trouble for the time being."

Sure enough, in the first month.Xiao Mahe applied for a foreign transfer.Chen Qian also agreed, and simply attributed his soldiers and horses to Zigao, which were originally Zhou Cheng's soldiers and horses.He didn't mention it since he went to another state to lead the army.

Although Zigao worked hard like this, the safety of the capital was in the hands of someone he absolutely trusted, so Zigao went to promote his old general in the army.

Zigao's soldiers and horses plus Zhou Cheng's soldiers and horses totaled [-], all of them well-equipped.He was afraid that Hou An would turn against him, so he loosened up every day and trained his soldiers.

He also sent heavy troops to the inner courtyard of the palace.setup well.

Chen Qian was even looser on the outside and tighter on the inside. He secretly investigated the fire in Chongyun Palace.It is known that Hou Andu bribed the two eunuchs in the harem, but these two people were not serving him and Han Zigao, but serving one of the concubines. He also secretly investigated to see if the concubine had anything to do with this matter Just make sure there is no connection. Of course, he will punish the two eunuchs, but he has to wait for Hou Andu to be punished together to investigate and deal with them, so as not to overwhelm others.

In fact, since he got together with Zigao, his heart has become relatively kind. For example, according to the past, he would have killed the concubine together, but he knew that Han Zigao had already had feelings for all the concubines in his mind. Guilty, if he knew that he killed her, he would be very angry. Now he will consider whether he will make Han Zigao unhappy when he does everything.

It's not that he has really become kind-hearted, but that almost everything is based on Han Zigao's preferences.

At that time, Hou Andu acted more and more rampantly ----- he didn't know it when he was about to die.

He originally thought that the emperor was already suspicious of him, and he would not be sent for Zhou Di's affairs. He also knew that the emperor sent someone to investigate his subordinates. He felt uneasy. Come and provoke, he really wanted to do nothing and just replace him.

The matter of the Chongyun Palace was indeed planned by him alone, and he also meant to take risks. At that time, he really wanted to assassinate.

But afterward, he began to feel suspicious again, the emperor still trusted him very much, and when the emperor mentioned the old love in the past, he felt that he was a little worried, the emperor is a person who cares about the old love, and has always favored him Plus.

Now that I am under one person and above ten thousand people, why should I rebel?He secretly rejoiced that he didn't really do anything important to kill the emperor, otherwise, if the matter fails, he will be wiped out of the nine clans.

In fact, he does have some cronies. If he wants to rebel, some cronies will follow him, but at the same time, at least half of his soldiers followed Chen Baxian and Chen Qian back then. He is different from Liu Yi and Zhou Di. However, what he brought with him was the best and most heartfelt soldiers of the original Chen Kingdom. Most of these soldiers and generals were personally commanded by Chen Qian, such as when he killed Wang Sengbian, when he defended Jiankang, and when he was captured. When it was time, it was under the command of Chen Qian, but it was unlikely that these people would follow him and rebel.

Therefore, it is okay for him to assassinate, but it is impossible to command the army to rebel against the emperor.

At this time, all the disciples of the capital came to pay New Year's greetings again, and they were very happy.He celebrated with great fanfare for a month, and after the first month and February, he led his troops back to Zhenjingkou proudly.
