Xia Houzheng thought it was right, so he asked people to spread rumors, and then confronted Qu Chuo head-on.

Sure enough, those loyal and patriotic people didn't know who to defect to, so they just waited and watched. Naturally, the two forces of Xiahou Zheng and Qu Chuo were fighting.

Although Qu Chuo had a lot of troops, they were still far behind Xia Houzheng, the powerful regent. Therefore, although the confrontation was fierce at the beginning, it didn't take long before it became clear that he was at a disadvantage and wanted troops.

Defeated like a mountain falling.

Qu Chuo sent people to seek peace, but Xiahou Zheng tore up the peace petition. Anyway, the situation was either your death or mine.

On April 16, Qu Chuo saw that he had no way to save his life, so when Xiahou Zheng sent people to take his head, he committed suicide and died.

From then on, the only person he was afraid of died, and no one could restrain him. Xiahou Zheng naturally held the power of Dongxiao country, and his people were even more arrogant. He wanted to usurp the throne immediately, but there was no one in Dongxiao country anyway.

No matter how hard you try to sway him, it doesn't matter to him even if the little emperor just disappears and doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. The little emperor has no military power in his hands and is young, so he is of no use to the enemy.

But he was still persuaded by his retainers: "We have just removed Qu Chuo, and the swords and soldiers have been mobilized. The soldiers and horses are still tired and need time to recover. If you usurp the throne and claim the throne at this time, and if the emperor is found by Daying at this time, Daying will take advantage of it."

Don’t lend troops and horses to the emperor

?Even if the emperor is young, there is nothing to fear, but after all, he ascended the throne legitimately, and it is still possible for Daying to help him. And our soldiers and horses are exhausted, and Daying has gunpowder and cannons, as well as many good soldiers and generals.

, where are we?

Opponent? Besides, there were rumors before that everyone knew that you had the idea of ​​usurping the throne. If you succeed and this rumor is confirmed, what if someone in Dongxiao cooperates with Daying Liyingwai in order to welcome the emperor back? What if the emperor still

If you are alive, you still have to wait for the emperor to come back from Daying. Then, it won't matter even if you kill the emperor. If he is really dead, that would be better. After learning that the emperor is really dead, there will be no one else in the royal family. Sooner or later

You will be persuaded to take over."

Although Xiahou Zheng was very impatient because he was too bloated to listen to unpleasant words, he still felt that it made sense, so he temporarily put aside his thoughts of usurping the throne and becoming emperor immediately, and planned to wait a little longer.

But he didn't intend to wait forever. Xia Houzheng said: "The one-month deadline is coming soon. Let's see what Daying says. If they procrastinate and never find Qu Xiao, how can I still not log in?

God bit?”

When the retainers saw Xia Houzheng acting like this, they knew that Xia Houzheng was increasingly unable to listen to their words. When they came out of the study, they all sighed.

Also on this day, in Daying, Huaishu Village, Qu Xiao was helping to take care of Xue Yan's baby in the room. The baby was lying on the kang with his back, holding a bottle in his two little hands, drinking the milk inside.

, and one little foot rested on the corner of his clothes.

Qu Xiao was used to it and didn't care about her.

It's just that the material of the milk bottle was something he had never seen before. He thought it was a bit strange at first, but he had been coming to Huaishu Village for some time, saw it every day, and was used to it, so he didn't think it was anything.

Okay, save a small spoonful and feed it in small spoonfuls.

During these days, he would hear about Dong Xiao's situation from time to time, and knew that Xia Houzheng and his uncle had already started fighting. His uncle was no match for Xia Houzheng. It was estimated that his uncle would be dealt with in the next two days.
