The cell was already overcrowded, but fortunately, they were locked in quickly and taken out to be executed faster, so that we could ensure that the prison cell was not full.
In the afternoon, the wind has brought a warm feeling, and the roses in the corner are blooming with beautiful flowers. In the Tianlao courtyard, Datou and a group of jailers made a pot of tea and chatted with each other. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and looked at ease. In the blood
It's rainy and windy, and everyone in the capital is in danger. At this moment, this is the safest and most peaceful place, and it's like a paradise.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Han envoy led an ambush in the suburbs and assassinated all the Nianbage envoys."
"Well..." Datou responded in a daze.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Song envoy Yang Hao also disappeared that night. Now we all suspect that the Han envoy assassinated him. Do you think the people in the Han embassy are really so capable and bold?"
Datou's cheek twitched and he murmured again. He was worried about Yang Hao. Brother Yang was really missing? There were also sister-in-law, Xiaoliu, and Tietou. It was said that they were all killed, but now their bodies were not found. They
Did he really suffer misfortune? Who did it?
An old jailer sighed and said: "If you die, you will die. No matter if you are a Nianbager or a Song Dynasty, what will happen if you die? Didn't the empress break off diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty? She also apologized to the Song people in her credentials,
What else can they do? Let's go to the capital. When will there be peace? The three generals of the Palace Guard disappeared on the same night, Luo Shangguan was nowhere to be found, and all the servants in the house were killed. There must be a master who is not afraid of death, and
Just like Prince Qing...rebellious."
Another jailer said: "But now we can't even find their bodies. If they were killed by someone, but the person who killed them has done nothing else so far, don't you think this is strange?"
The old jailer sneered: "What's so strange? You don't look at the methods and courage of our queen. She responds so quickly. Who dares to take any further actions? How many princes have been captured in the past three days?
Already?"
The jailer said: "There are still four people in prison now. In the past two days, a total of nine have been dragged out and chopped."
"That's right, Master Yelu Sanming is now in control of the government. Prince Taiping, Sage, and General Xiao Zhanfei of the North Court control the military power. But the murderers who come to the capital will block the courtyard gates and kill all the chickens and dogs.
The capital city will be filled with blood and blood will flow into the river..."
The young jailer said: "I'm talking about Qi Touer, do you think these people killed by Yelu Sanming are really all rebels?"
The old jailer said with a half-smile: "Why not? Didn't even the weapons and armor tents be found from their houses? Is there any falsehood?"
The young jailer snorted and said: "I don't see it. If so many princes had rebelled, why would they wait until today? In my opinion, this is Lord Sanming's revenge, and he takes the opportunity to eliminate the powerful people in the court who are not of the same mind as him.
, I want to dominate the family. Qi Touer, count on your fingers, which one of you have been killed in the past few days that is not a high-ranking and powerful person, and usually even the emperor and empress should be in awe of them?"
The old jailer coughed and said slowly: "Don't eat randomly, and don't talk nonsense. Boy, trouble comes from the mouth. If Lord Sanming's men hear it, the next person sent to deliver food to the plague god, say
Maybe it’s you.”
When the old jailer said this, the young jailer's expression suddenly changed. He looked around, shrank his neck and said nothing.
Another jailer with a full beard said: "This matter is indeed fishy. Guess who is the God of Plague? Send a meal and kill a person. What the God of Plague eats is not food at all.
It’s just a human life. With such a great evil spirit and such great style, in our Khitan, it’s just like a scorpion’s shit, (poison) is the only one (feces).”
Datou was so confused that he couldn't bear to hear it, and scolded him: "Shut up, you want to know? If you want to know, go ask the god of plague."
The bearded man grinned and said with a sneer: "Prince, don't be angry, this is just us brothers chatting here. Just let me go, I haven't lived enough yet, so how dare I do that."
While several people were talking, they heard a burst of noise outside, and a voice said: "Let's go, go faster, don't drag yourself, anyone who dares to move will be shot."
The old jailer stood up with an agility that was not commensurate with his age, and said nervously: "We have sent another prisoner. Oh my God, when will it be the end?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people crowded into the courtyard. Among the soldiers with guns and swords, there were the new Prime Minister of the Beiyuan Yelu Sanming, the Taiping King Ke Sage, and the General of the Beiyuan Xiao Zhanfei.
Seeing these three giants arriving together, Da Tou and others were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped forward and crossed their hands to salute. Da Tou asked tremblingly: "Sir, what important criminal should you and the three of you bring together?"
Yelu Sanming, Prince Taiping, and General Xiao Zhanfei of the North Campus all hummed with cold faces and raised their chins proudly with their hands behind their backs.
"What's wrong with this?" Datou was confused and didn't know where he said something wrong.
At this time, I heard someone say: "The prisoners sent here today are these three adults. Cell boss, please clean up the cell quickly and invite the three adults to come in."
Following the words, a burly man with a tall figure and a sword under his side walked in with a smile.
When the old jailer saw this, he exclaimed: "Da Tiyin? My lord... when did you come back to the capital?"
Yelv Xiuge walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "King Yelu Sanming of De, King Sage of Taiping, and Xiao Zhanfei, the general of the North Court, kidnapped the emperor and the queen, falsely conveyed the imperial edict, murdered the ministers of the court, and planned to usurp the throne.
Self-reliance. I secretly returned to the capital. With the help of Shi Fang and Guo Xi, I have wiped out all the rebels. They are now detained in the sky prison pending trial. You must watch them carefully."
Yelv Sanming was calm at first, but after hearing this, he finally became excited. With red eyes, he roared at Brother Yelvxiu: "Brother Yelvxiu, how dare you slander anyone? I am a loyal king, but when have you ever rebelled? Lead your troops back to the capital.
, to kill my son suddenly, and to frame him up. I understand, I understand now, I have been fooled, by that *** Xiao Chuo!"
As he spoke, he bumped towards Brother Yelvxiu. Only then did Datou and the others see that the three of them were not carrying their hands behind their backs because they were arrogant, but because their hands were tied behind their backs.
Brother Yelu Xiu's face darkened and he shouted: "Yelu Sanming, how dare you be so rude to the Queen? Come on, slap me."
Yelu Sanming smiled miserably and said: "I have already foreseen my fate, so why talk about being polite or rude? Who would I be afraid of?"
Before he finished speaking, two guards held down his shoulders. Another guard came up, picked up a waist knife, and slapped his face with the scabbard, causing his cheeks to become red and swollen and his teeth to fall out.
Yelu Sanming still cursed himself endlessly, but his mouth was full of blood and froth, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Yelv Xiuge smiled solemnly and ordered: "According to the imperial decree, all the prisoners sent to prison in the past two days are Yelu Sanming and others who rebelled against the emperor and were under house arrest. Those who were arrested and imprisoned under the false imperial decree during the imperial period are ordered to be released immediately."
The three imperial convicts Yelu Sanming, Gui Sage, and Xiao Zhanfei were immediately put into the prison to wait for disposal."
In the courtyard outside Yuehua Palace, there was a crowd of people kneeling in the dark. The two women at the front had disheveled hair and bruises on their foreheads.
"Empress, sister, dear sister, please have mercy on me. Your brother-in-law was just confused for a moment, and lard clouded his heart, so he was moved by what Yelu Sanming said. He was originally a loser, with no ability at all.
Because my brother was the emperor, he was granted the throne of peace. My sister, please be merciful and spare him. He won't get angry..."
The woman running on the ground burst into tears. She was Xiao Chuo's compatriot's second sister and the wife of King Taiping Jiansage.
The nine sons of Long are all different. Compared with Xiao Chuo’s second sister and younger sister, they have different looks. Although their eyebrows are very beautiful, they have a Chinese-shaped face, a wider chin, and thicker eyebrows, which are sharper than Yaomei’s.
The pointed chin and faint eyebrows make him look stronger.
However, the sister who was born with a peach-shaped face and seemed soft and charming was really not as strong as her? She had been crying and begging for an hour, her voice was hoarse from crying, and there was no sound in the Yuehua Palace.
The other woman was Xiao Chuo's aunt and Xiao Zhanfei's wife. She looked at Sister Xiao with tears in her eyes and did not dare to plead loudly. Her husband was arrested, but he was my mother's uncle. Her mother and uncle were no better than herself.
Is this aunt closer? If she wants to be let go, it’s not her turn to plead for mercy. Now she just hopes that the empress will tell her to spare her brother-in-law. As long as she can spare Prince Taiping, it will be natural to ask her to be lenient to others.
easy.
But, will the empress forgive them?
Thinking of Yelu Chukuang, who was suddenly attacked by the general next to her and beheaded with a knife, and whose severed corpses are still hanging on two tall flagpoles on the city tower, her heart became cold...
In the Yuehua Palace, on the imperial calligraphy table paved with Huang Ling, there is a pot of hot tea on the table.
The tea had lost its taste, and Xiao Chuo did not ask anyone to change it, but the water he refilled was hot. After drinking the hot water, his heart was still cold, and even his breath was cold.
Xiao Chuo's face was like frost, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was thinking repeatedly about the current situation in Beijing.
The three-horse power structure composed of the three direct royal families of Chaozhong, Taizong, Sejong, and Li Hu was completely destroyed. At the same time, the powerful clans under these three carriages, whose combined power could threaten the imperial power,
The descendants of Mu Zong, for example, have also been reduced to pieces.
If it is not destroyed, it cannot be established. After it is destroyed, it is established. The successive coups seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to the Khitan regime. However, the fire from the sky burned away the diseased trees, leaving only the Shizong lineage. As long as it is handled properly, it can stand out. This
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
All kinds of reactions, changes, and brewing have their own roots, which is the competition between various forces for imperial power. All of this finally surfaced, and under her guidance, it developed in a direction that was beneficial to her. The reason for its triggering
It was actually Roque and others who tried to defect, and it was caused by her being drunk and being insulted by someone, thus secretly arresting everyone. This was something that even she did not expect, but she is a person who is good at seizing opportunities. The defection incident
, she keenly seized the opportunity to trigger the post-humiliation incident. She immediately forced her to change her relationship with Shi Fang. What Guo Xi secretly agreed upon was just a plan to eliminate rape against Yelu Sanming, which promoted a major purge in Beijing's political arena.
Yelu Sanming couldn't wait to jump out, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. I'm just a weak woman. Once someone forces me into the palace, what else can I do? I will hand over political power and military power to you. I will hide in the palace and never show up again."
.
Yelu Sanming was indeed very proud. Under his bloody purge, except for Shi Fang, Guo Xi and others who saw the opportunity early and "take refuge" in time, the entire Khitan royal family was almost wiped out of all the powerful and powerful clan dignitaries.
, now, it’s time to destroy this butcher knife.
Ta Buyan hurriedly walked into the palace. Even though she was a woman, her cheeks turned red with excitement because of the power of life and death that she suddenly grasped. Power was indeed the most intoxicating aphrodisiac in the world.
"Your Majesty, the adults who were imprisoned in the heavenly prison have all been released. They learned that your Majesty was under house arrest by Yelu Sanming. Yelu Sanming falsely conveyed imperial edicts and killed many courtiers. The adults were furious. Now, under the orders of the Empress, they are going to investigate Yelu Sanming.
, Detailed evidence of the evil intentions of Yu Sage, Xiao Zhanfei and others has already been revealed."
Xiao Chuo put down the tea cup calmly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled a little strangely: "How is it?"
"A lot of evidence has been found, enough evidence. Master Shi Fang has convicted these rebels one hundred and thirty-one times according to my Khitan law."
Xiao Chuo smiled softly and said: "Okay, very good. Master Shi Fang is indeed a capable minister. He can handle such a big thing in a short period of time."
Ta Buyan said: "It's not all the charges devised by Master Shi Fang. The adults who were released spared no effort. Yelu Sanming and others have racked their brains in the past few days to come up with various charges to use against the powerful clan officials.
, now it is natural that the blame will be returned to themselves. Yelu Sanming and others have been unable to argue with each other and will not be able to redeem themselves by dying!"
Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "You can die without defense, and you can die without redemption. That's good. I didn't expect that a girl like you, who doesn't study, could say such a thing."
Ta Buyan said with a red face: "This... is not what the maid said, this is what Master Guo Xi said, and the maid... the maid heard it."
Xiao Chuo burst out laughing. She stood up slowly and walked slowly in the palace for a long time. She rolled up her sleeves and pulled them behind her back. She stood tall and straight, raised her chin slightly and said calmly: "Come on, Yelu Sanming is planning something evil.
The crime is obvious and he will be punished immediately. All the people in Yelu Sanming Mansion will be slaughtered."
"Yes!" Ta Buyan stood up straight involuntarily.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chuo's eyes, and he added: "The Taiping King Kuai Sage, who rebelled, was executed, and his whole body was given to him. The princess and her daughter were imprisoned in the mansion, and all the entrances and exits were blocked. They were not allowed to leave the mansion for the rest of their lives.
step."
"Yes!" Ta Buyan's breathing became heavier.
"The clan properties of the above two people were taken back to the royal family, and all the clan members were made slaves of the injured royal family members."
Ta Buyan said in a trembling voice: "Yes."
"Xiao Zhanfei..." Xiao Chuo pondered for a moment, relaxed his sleeves, and said softly: "Execution! All family members in the mansion will be given white silk ribbons, and all relevant party members will be buried alive."
Ta Buyan looked pale and trembled: "Yes...yes..."
Xiao Chuo stared at her and suddenly asked: "If they succeed, what do you think will happen to me?"
Ta Buyan lowered his head, trembling all over, and did not respond.
Xiao Chuo said quietly: "Do you think my brother-in-law and uncle will care about me? Will my sister and aunt intercede for me?"
Ta Buyan took a few quick breaths and whispered, "My maid understands."
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
The queen was furious and her blood flowed.
"I didn't expect that my humiliation would be an opportunity to lead to so many changes."
Xiao Chuo lay on the couch with his clothes on, not tired: "Since taking office, the domestic affairs and foreign affairs have now been solved. The old ministers and dignitaries have been almost slaughtered, and they are fighting against the imperial court. Those who are enemies, fight; those who serve me, pull. I can boldly appoint new people, use more capable officials other than Zong Zhi, appoint more exiled officials, and consolidate the imperial power. Although my vitality is seriously damaged at the moment, it is better than the rotten one. The old situation, in the long run, is beneficial and harmless.
Diplomacy..., the Communists in the east, the Jurchens in the northeast, Orang Gai in the north, Nian Ba Ge in the west, the Dangxiang people in the northwest, and the Song Dynasty in the south. It was easy to provoke, and now the Han envoys attacked and killed the Nianbage envoys, and the Song envoys successfully got rid of the burden of the Han State and gained the goodwill of Nianbage. Although the Song State lost an envoy, it was easy to provoke. After receiving my goodwill promise, now that they are determined to be in Han Dynasty, they will not come to embarrass me. I can calm down and clean up the country. No..., there is still someone eyeing Dandan, and that is King Qing. This root is strong When will the thorn in my heart be removed?"
"But no matter what, Shangjing City is finally at peace. I can finally have a peaceful sleep in the palace. Shangjing City truly belongs to me now. There is nothing to worry about anymore. I am really worried." Things..."
When Xiao Chuo thought of this, a figure suddenly jumped into her mind, and she couldn't help but jump.
"There are still some people who have not been dealt with... I have been busy with state affairs these past two days, and I have forgotten him. When I think of that person, the humiliation of that night and the unforgettable taste come to my heart again, especially in this quiet night, the memory and The senses are exceptionally clear and sensitive.
Scenes of that night of crazy intercourse flooded into my mind. The strange pleasure of ecstasy and bone-crushing pleasure, the pleasure that I had never experienced before, made the cold and stoic heart of this generation of heroines who wielded supreme power and aloofness. The defense gradually melted. Her strong and powerful legs gradually tightened, and her breathing became heavier.
Once she experienced that kind of crazy bliss, the young woman in the lonely palace shook her head with fear. Her eyes gradually closed, she hugged a pillow tightly, and a thin, unbearable moan escaped from her throat. .
Xiao Chuo suddenly opened the brocade quilt and sat up from the couch with his hair disheveled. He reached out and picked up the gold hairpin from the table beside the couch and removed the gold hairpin from the jewelry. One hairpin pierced his palm and the blood turned into a drop of blood. A bright red gemstone was held in her palm, and the sting suddenly awakened her consciousness.
"I will not be anyone's prisoner; I will not be manipulated by anyone, not even my own lust!"
"That night was just a dream, a dream...Tomorrow, I will deal with them personally. This ridiculous dream will be wiped from my heart, and there will be no trace left!"
Yang Hao sat silently in the cell. He still hasn't figured out what happened. Who does that flawless jade leg belong to? Where did Dong'er go, and what is this place?
What drove him most crazy was that he couldn't get any explanation for all his questions. The cell was so quiet that he could even hear the sound of cockroaches crawling in the corner. No one was talking to him and he couldn't hear it. He heard a little noise. Every day, an unkempt man would come to bring him food. The food was very good and carefully cooked. If prisoners could eat such food every day, then the prison could also be used as a palace. The problem is... There was only one meal, only one meal a day. Although he tried to minimize his activities, he was still hungry and his chest pressed to his belly.
In fact, he had no chance to move around. Every day, he would be taken off the bed only during meal time. Only at that time every day, he could hear footsteps, and he could even tell that they were the footsteps of three people.
For him who couldn't hear any sound, hearing the footsteps was like the sound of nature.
The footsteps would stop in front of his cell, the door would open, and a person would walk in. Then the cell door would be locked, and the sound of two people leaving as if fleeing from the plague would be heard, and then, someone would come in.
The man would pull out his gag, rip off his hood, untie him, watch him finish his meal, then tie him back...
If he wanted to get more time for activities, he could only slow down his meal time, chew and swallow the food in the exquisite bowl over and over again. He tried to strike up a conversation with the person who delivered the food, but the person who delivered the food failed.
A person does not know what instructions he has been given. He is like a mute who will never say a word to him. The person who brings food every day is a new face, repeating old stories. All this in front of him often makes him feel a sense of wonder.
Illusion: Could this be a dream?”
While he was thinking wildly, he heard footsteps again, opening the door, closing the door, and running away...
What's strange is that the person left behind didn't come up to untie him.
After waiting for a moment, Yang Hao finally couldn't help but struggled and made a whining sound in his nose. At this time, he heard a woman's voice. The voice was very soft, sweet, pleasant, and... cold: "Yang
Messenger, are you okay?"
Yang Hao suddenly fell silent: "A woman's voice? It's such a familiar voice. Is she...?"
The woman giggled and said: "Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to me will die miserably, but you, you have insulted me, I... how should I deal with you?"
"Xiao Chuo!" Yang Hao's heart was like lightning, and the doubts that were difficult to understand, or that he didn't dare to imagine, were suddenly solved: "God, that night... that night it was her, the Queen of Khitan!"
He smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, and Xiao Chuo's faint voice suddenly came close to his ear. A soft little hand gently touched his chest, and the faint, lingering voice sounded like a lover.
With a touch of deep hatred, he said: "Speaking of which, you are my man, Xiao Chuo. Even if my man is not an unparalleled hero, he should still have some backbone. If you are scared to death like this, I will feel very embarrassed."
"
"Oh my God, I fucked the Queen!"
Yang Hao suddenly clenched his fists: "I can't die like this, I want to live! "Encyclopedia of Chinese Wisdom", "Diplomatic Strategy", "Thirty-Six Strategies", "Stories of Chinese and Foreign Wise Men", "One Hundred Thousand Whys"
", "Brain Teasers"..., which one has a precedent of the Queen still escaping after being kidnapped?"
