After saying this to Lu Bu, the courtier then said to Lu Bu: "Bubai Hou, I think your Majesty is probably entangled with something unclean."
"What unclean thing is entangled in it?" But hearing what the courtier said, Lu Bu was also astonished.
"Yes! That night, blood flowed like a river at the foot of the palace, and corpses lay everywhere. It must have been that the yin energy was too strong and had overtaken your majesty's yang energy..."
"Shut up!" But after hearing what the courtier said, Lu Bu also yelled at him angrily: "It's nonsense. If there really is any strange power in this world, how can I, Lu Bu, still be alive today?"
"What you said, Bubaihou, is wrong. It is precisely because you have killed thousands of souls under your halberd that those demons and monsters are afraid of you and dare not approach your Shura body. But your Majesty is different. Your Majesty, you can't get on the saddle, and you can't hold it on the bottom.
Sword, regardless of his status as the emperor, he is just a useless scholar with no power to tie a chicken. It is not impossible that His Majesty can be swallowed by Yin Qi!"
"That's enough! Please step back first and let me think about it carefully."
"Yes!" Seeing that Lu Bu still didn't believe it, the courtier shook his head and left.
After the courtier left, a graceful woman wearing a curtain walked out from behind the screen.
The moment they walked out, Lu Bu also turned around and helped the woman into the seat.
After the woman sat down, Lu Bu hurriedly sat down next to her and asked her, "What do you think of what Chen Qi just said?"
"It doesn't look very good!" He put his scallion-white jade hand on the plate and pinched a piece of green jade into his mouth.
The moment the woman lifted the curtain, Lu Bu couldn't help but raise his arm.
He wanted to take off the girl's veil, but he thought better of it.
After all, this woman's identity is too sensitive and cannot be revealed easily.
But seeing Lu Bu put down his hand, the woman smiled and said, "General, can't you let go of this wealth and leave with me? Or is it that the general still thinks about his position as a general?"
"That's not true. Although that woman is hateful, what she said is not unreasonable. Even if Your Majesty really makes me a general, I'm afraid I won't be able to command the 400,000 Xiangbei army of the Zhou family."
"Yes, all the troops in the imperial court came from Xiangbei, and even this imperial city was rebuilt by people from Xiangbei. According to my experience, the woman who asked Zhou Zha to return to Yecheng to inherit the position of general this time was a lie.
, it is true that Zhou Zha can take back Yecheng."
"Oh? You mean Zhou Zha this time Are you coming back to drive the emperor out of Yecheng?"
"If we just drive Yecheng out and collapse, I'm afraid that woman may have other thoughts that she shouldn't have."
"for example?"
"For example, doesn't the general have a clear mind? If that woman really has such thoughts, will the general have a good life in the future? Therefore, the general must make a decision early, and don't wait for Zhou Zha to enter the city.
If I want to leave, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave.”
The woman's words made Lu Bu fall into deep thought.
It seems that once Wang Mang died, the situation in Yecheng became even more chaotic.
Since Wang Mang's death, Li Mu has been dreaming all night.
He was talking in his sleep, getting more and more terrifying.
Zhen Mi was anxious, the courtiers were anxious, and the medical officers came and went again.
The herbal doctors in Yecheng were also led into the palace one by one by Pang Juan.
Queen Zhou seemed to be oblivious to what was going on outside the window, as if Li Mu's evil deeds had nothing to do with her.
On the fifth day, Li Mu rushed out of the palace despite the obstruction of Zhen Mi and everyone, and then fainted to the ground outside the general's mansion.
After fainting, Li Mu never woke up again.
Zhou Zha first came back with five thousand light cavalry. He originally wanted to bring five thousand light cavalry directly into the city, but Wang Shun stopped him.
Wang Shun told him that he should be polite first and then fight with soldiers, so that he could not fall into the world with his words.
Zhou Zha listened to his advice, so he took him and his two lieutenants, Zhou Han and Wang Dai, into the city.
As soon as they entered the city, the four of them went straight to the General's Mansion.
These days, the reason why Queen Zhou has closed her doors is to wait for Zhou Zha to come back.
Welcome Zhou Zha into the house and lead four people to the living room.
The first thing Queen Zhou said to Zhou Zha and the four others was that Your Majesty was possessed and had fallen into a coma.
"Your Majesty, is he evil?" But after hearing what Queen Zhou said, Zhou Zha was stunned.
"Well! These days, I have closed the door to thank guests, just to see what the emperor will do behind my back while I am closed. It's a pity that he has done nothing, but comes to my place every day.
Together at home."
"Do you come to Madam's house every day? Do you dare to ask Madam? Is His Majesty the one who is haunted during these few days?"
"Huh?" But after listening to Wang Shun's question, Queen Zhou also turned to look at him and said, "Who are you?"
"Sister! Don't be rude to Mr. Longshang."
"Mr. Longshang?" But after hearing Zhou Zha's introduction, Queen Zhou couldn't help but look at Wang Shun twice.
This Wang Shun looks to be about forty years old, with big ears and thick eyebrows, which makes him look extraordinary at first glance.
Moreover, since he can be called "sir" by Zhou Zha, he must have something special about him.
"How do you know, Sir?" Although she had put aside her contempt for Wang Shun, Queen Zhou asked him with the intention of studying Wang Shun for Zhou Zha.
"I don't know, my wife told me." Wang Shun stroked his beard and replied with a smile.
"When did I tell you?" But after hearing Wang Shun's reply, Queen Zhou also asked him curiously.
"When you enter the living room, the first and second words that Madam said will be told to me and General Zhou. If Madam doesn't believe me, just ask the General."
"Really?" Turning to look at Zhou Zha, Queen Zhou also looked at him curiously.
"Well, my sister first said that His Majesty is haunted, and then said that His Majesty will come to the house once a day. Once the two factors are combined, the day when His Majesty is haunted is about to come out."
"That's right, Your Majesty was haunted on the night when he and Jia Xu were killed."
"So, your majesty was haunted because the general was killed by a traitor." After saying this to Queen Zhou, Wang Shun continued: "Although the traces are a bit heavy, it is not unreasonable."
After stroking his goat's beard, Wang Shun continued: "In order to have peace of mind, the emperor comes to the house to pay homage to the general once a day. It seems that the emperor is really..."
"He didn't pay homage!" Interrupting what Wang Shun was saying, Queen Zhou continued: "I only held his funeral for one day and then withdrew. On the day it was held, I didn't let anyone in."
"Only one day?" But after hearing what Queen Zhou said, Zhou Zha also asked in shock: "Sister, that's your husband, why did you only hold one day on your husband's funeral?"
"What's wrong with one day? If I can hold one day for him, it's already a great mercy on my part. Otherwise, I won't hold one day's funeral for him."
"you ——”
"What am I doing? My brother should know why my sister is doing this to him. Since Chu'er..."
"That's enough!" He shouted to Queen Zhou, and Zhou Zha also turned his eyes and apologized to Wang Shun: "Mr., let me laugh, my sister-in-law..."
"General, your words are serious. The pain of losing a son is ten thousand times more painful than having the body of a mother cut out. I understand my lady's difficulties."
The two lieutenants Zhou Zha brought back this time, Zhou Han was his nephew, and Wang Dai was a confidant who had been promoted from the army.
These two lieutenants were not only young, but also loyal only to Zhou Zha.
Therefore, the two of them did not care whether the general's funeral was careless.
This was also the policy of the Qing army that Wang Shun had given to Zhou Zha more than a year ago.
First, let those generals from Xiangbei who had followed Wang Mang in his southern and northern campaigns return to Xiangzhou to take care of themselves, and then promote their heirs to succeed them as generals.
This reconciliation can not only make these generals less resistant to his arrangements, but also make these young men only recognize him as a hussar general.
This plan really kills two birds with one stone!
Wang Shun's plan means that even if Wang Mang is alive, he will not be able to mobilize this Xiangbei army as easily as before.
It was only after more than a year of reconciliation that the 480,000 Xiangbei Army became Zhou Zha's private army.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhou Zha respected and treated Wang Shun politely.
If not for Wang Shun's foresight, the army would have been in chaos on the day he informed the generals of Wang Mang's death.
"How many soldiers and horses did brother bring back this time?" Queen Zhou suppressed the pain in her heart and asked Zhou Zha as she cheered up.
"Five thousand light cavalry will accompany you, and an army of 400,000 will arrive soon after."
"Four hundred thousand?" But after hearing what Zhou Zha said, Queen Zhou was also shocked and said: "Brother brought back all the Xiangbei Army?"
"That's not true. There are still 80,000 left in Longyou!"
"Eighty thousand? Longyou? Brother, are you not planning to defend Long?"
"What are you still guarding? I have no intention of leaving when I come back this time."
In fact, Queen Zhou had already had this idea when she sent the letter to Zhou Zha.
Although Ye City is not the largest city in Longzhou, it is more gorgeous and stronger than any other city in Longzhou.
