The setting sun has set, and the clouds in the western sky are like burning flames all over the sky, illuminating the sky and the ground red. Where the sky and the earth meet, it is like a crater erupting with flames, erupting flames in the sky.
between.
This is Huoshaoyun. As the name suggests, it looks like a fire burning clouds. At this moment, the Great Zhou Palace is also in full swing.
In Shoukang Palace, Guo Xu and all the guards had arrived. The noisy shouts alarmed the people in the palace. A chamberlain rushed to the front of the palace and reprimanded loudly: "Who is making noise here? The Queen Mother is about to take a rest.
, alarmed the Queen Mother, you all want to beheaded? Huh? Why are you guards here? You are so brave!"
Guo Xu emerged from the crowd, sneered and said: "Are you disturbing the Queen Mother's rest? Then we have committed a big crime. You can arrest us and go to see the Queen Mother."
The waiter felt something bad when he saw Guo Xu holding the sword covered in blood, and left without saying a word. Guo Xu cursed angrily and flew up, kicked him over, and swung his sword to kill him.
The head of the chamberlain was so severe that it rolled away.
Amidst the screams of several palace maids and chamberlains nearby, the massacre began. A group of people started to kill from the front hall to the back, and all the palace maids and chamberlains they encountered were killed. There were horrifying screams and tragic scenes.
The screams resounded throughout the palace, spreading from the front hall to the spring pavilion in the back hall.
After dinner, the old Queen Wei was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and ready to rest. Several palace maids beside her were tapping the muscles and bones of her legs and feet to relieve the pain in her body. There were faint screams from outside, and the palace ladies beside her
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. The old queen mother also heard the shouting in a daze.
"What's going on? Who is shouting? Go and see who is so unruly. She will be punished with ten lashes and not allowed to eat for three days to see if she still has the strength to scream." The old queen said angrily.
"Yes!" A palace maid got up and left the inner room to the outside. There were clumsy footsteps outside and the screams continued. The palace maid came to the door and opened the bamboo curtain and stepped out. Suddenly something fell at the door with a thud.
, startled her. She looked down and suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream. What fell in front of the door was the body of a dead palace maid, lying on her back with her eyes wide open and a sad look on her chest and abdomen.
The huge wound was bleeding out.
The next moment, a large group of people rushed to the door. One person stepped forward and put a long sword against the neck of the frightened palace maid, who was stunned and shouted: "Where is the Queen Mother? Is she inside?"
The palace maid looked at the ferocious and twisted blood-stained face in front of her, her mind was in a daze, and she nodded mechanically.
"That's good." Guo Xu sneered, and with a move of his hand, he stabbed the palace maid's throat with his long sword, kicked away the body that was still spurting blood, and lifted the curtain and entered.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! Your grandson Guo Xu has come to greet you." Guo Xu shouted loudly. In the inner room, Queen Mother Wei, who had already stood up in shock, was at a loss when she saw Guo Xu rushing in.
"Guo Xu, what are you doing? It's a mess outside, what happened? You...why are you like this? What are you wearing? Why are you carrying a long sword?" Queen Mother Wei asked in shock.
Guo Xu laughed and said: "Old Queen, have you been disturbed? My grandson is really guilty. But it's not my fault. These people in your Shoukang Palace don't know the rules and are not loyal enough. They all liked it before they died.
Shout loudly,
They didn't care that the Queen Mother and you were taking a rest. They should have shut up and been killed silently, so you can't blame your grandson for this."
"You...what did you say? Why can't the Ai family understand? What about life and death." Empress Dowager Wei frowned.
Guo Xu said coldly: "Then let me put it simply, my grandson is leading people to kill the eunuchs and maids in your palace. They have killed dozens of people in the front hall. Now you are the only one left, the queen mother."
There are only a few of them in the house."
Empress Dowager Wei said in shock: "Are you...are you...crazy? What...what are you going to do? Guo Xu...you are so brave, your father will kill you."
Guo Xu sneered and said: "You still use your father to oppress me. Grandma, you have been scaring me since I was a child. You have always sued me and asked your father to oppress me. You have never treated me well. Guo and I
Mian came with you to say hello. He was sitting, and I was standing. He was eating bird's nest soup, and I didn't even have a sip of water. Hey, I didn't understand before, but now I understand. Don't you just hate me? Don't you want your father to
Does the emperor appreciate me? You also interfered with the prince's affairs and said bad things about me in front of the father every day. Well, you have achieved your goal. The emperor has become the prince. Are you satisfied? But so what? I tell you,
No one can stop me from what I want. No one! If you don’t give it, I will take it. Guo Mian was killed by me, and my father was controlled by me. Everything for you is in vain. Grandma, you
You have lived for too long and you have become an old fool. What are you still doing? You are just wasting food. Grandma, how about your grandson giving you a ride? Then everyone in your Wei family will also copy theirs after I ascend the throne.
Family, how about killing their heads? By the way, I forgot to tell you that your niece Rong Fei has been killed by me, as well as the queen. Now, it’s grandma’s turn. You people are all against me.
So everyone must die."
The Empress Dowager Wei was so frightened that she trembled all over. She shouted in shock: "Guo Xu, how dare you conspire to usurp the throne, kill your brother and mother, where is your conscience? You...you are so brave, you are worse than a beast."
Guo Xu said angrily: "This is all because of you. If you had known what happened, you shouldn't have forced me into desperation in the first place. You should have allowed me to ascend the throne as the prince, how could anything happen now? But you insist on supporting that loser.
Guo Mian, how can he compare to me? If you want to blame, blame yourselves. Grandma, are you going to go on your own, or should your grandson give you a ride?"
The Empress Dowager Wei's face was ashen, she shook her head and murmured: "What evil have you done, what evil has the Guo family done to give birth to such a cruel and rebellious evil? The Guo family is about to perish. Forefathers and ancestors are above us, the first emperor and the last emperor.
People, open your eyes and look at the unfilial descendants of your Guo family. See how he killed his father, his mother, his brothers, and me, an old woman. If you still have souls, punish this rebellious person."
Guo Xu said angrily: "Even now, you still want to slander me. Well, I am a rebellious person, so what? I will show my disobedience to everyone. You don't have to worry about my Guo family's status? That's
Can you care? I will restore the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty and show you what it means to be a wise king. Grandma, my grandson is sending you on your way."
Guo Xu approached step by step with a long sword. The Empress Dowager Wei was furious and frightened. Her body trembled violently. She suddenly screamed and fell backwards, falling straight on the cold bed. Guo Xu was frightened.
He jumped, frowned and said, "Are you pretending to be dead? That's not possible either."
As he spoke, Guo Xu raised his sword and stabbed the Empress Dowager Wei in the chest and abdomen.
"Stop!" An angry shout came from behind. Guo Xu turned around in shock and saw Lu Zhongtian standing there with an angry look on his face. Standing next to him was Wu Chunlai.
"Grandpa, you are here." Guo Xu said happily.
Lu Zhongtian looked gloomy and shouted in a deep voice: "If I don't come here again, I'm afraid you will kill all the people in the harem. Do you know what you are doing? What are the faults of those maids and eunuchs outside that you want to kill them all? Queen, you I will kill you too, you will kill Concubine Rong, and you will kill the Queen Mother too? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?"
Guo Xu frowned and said, "These people are all against me. Why should I keep them? Kill them one by one."
Lu Zhongtian angrily scolded: "You bastard! You want to be the emperor. You don't even let the women and children in the harem, the queen and grandmother go. How will you explain to the people of the world in the future? How will you make them support you? You are destroying your reputation and not practicing morality. "Retribution, do you want everyone in the world to think you are a tyrant? You hate these people and just imprison them. Why do you bring people into the harem to slaughter them? This is simply ridiculous and a bastard."
Guo Xu was at a loss and felt that he had enjoyed the killings just now, but it seemed a bit too much.
Wu Chunlai tried to persuade him: "Prime Minister Lu, there is no need to be too angry. Your Highness, King Huai, has been angry for a long time and can't hold it back for a while. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Before the big things are done, let's talk about the business first. We will talk about the other things later."
Lu Zhongtian nodded slightly, quickly came to the side of the Queen Mother who fell on the ground, stretched out his hand to check her breathing, and his expression changed drastically: "The Queen Mother is gone!"
Guo Xu hurriedly said: "I didn't kill him, I haven't done it yet."
Lu Zhongtian said coldly: "The Queen Mother is not in good health. She is old and frail. How can she withstand what is happening before her? This is because she is so angry that she has exhausted her energy."
Guo Xu said: "It's better to die, it will save me the trouble."
Lu Zhongtian sneered and said: "You just want to have fun, don't you know that this will be a debt you will have to bear in the future."
Guo Xu gritted his teeth and said: "I have already gone this far, what debts do I still have to worry about? What reputation do I still have to worry about? Grandpa, don't you think it's a little ridiculous to say this now?"
Lu Zhongtian sighed, stared at Guo Xu for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "That's what I said. That's all. Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. From now on, the harem is sealed off, and no more killings or chaos can be caused. First, we must Only when the palace is stabilized can the outside world be stabilized."
Guo Xu also softened, cupped his hands and said, "Just listen to my grandfather!"
Lu Zhongtian turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "You all come to Yanhe Hall to discuss matters, order people to clean up the harem, and appease the concubines and maids."
Guo Xu and Wu Chunlai hurriedly followed him out. Wu Chunlai suddenly stopped, looked back at the palace ladies huddled in the corner, and frowned: "How can these people be alive?"
Guo Xu was stunned and immediately understood what Wu Chunlai meant. These people had witnessed the whole process of forcing the Queen Mother to death. If they were still alive, wouldn't they be the source of rumors in the future?
Wu Chun glanced at Guo Xu and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will handle it."
Guo Xu nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Wu."
Wu Chunlai winked, and the two guards turned around and entered the room. When Lu Zhongtian, Guo Xu and others left the back hall of Fukang Palace, the two guards had already slaughtered all the maids in the Queen Mother's room.
