Gu Zhenbei led his troops into the palace, and all the civil and military officials trembled in the hall.

He looked around but didn't see the King of Beiliang.

Li Shixin captured a civil servant and quickly found out the whereabouts of the King of Beiliang through interrogation.

"The bedroom, His Majesty has returned to the bedroom."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenbei ordered his men to strictly guard the people in the hall and not allow them to move around at will.

He took Li Shixin with him, followed by a team of Zhenbei soldiers, and headed towards the Beiliang King's bedroom.

A group of people rushed into the bedroom with swords in hand.

When the Zhenbei Army saw the scene in the bedroom, they all stopped their actions.

For a moment, there was silence.

Gu Zhenbei stepped into the bedroom and walked all the way inside, he saw the King of Beiliang holding a big knife, sitting upright on a round stool with his head down.

...

...

There were also scattered wine glasses on the table.

Li Shixin picked up the wine jug, opened the lid and put it close to his nose to smell it.

He said in a deep voice: "The wine is poisonous."

As soon as Li Shixin finished speaking, the Zhenbei Army shouted, "F**k there are still people!"

Gu Zhenbei frowned, walked quickly into the inner room, and saw a woman lying on the bed.

She was graceful and elegant, and the clothes she wore were the ceremonial dress for the Queen of Northern Liang.

Li Shixin was a little surprised: "What is this?"

Gu Zhenbei said calmly: "It should be the Queen of Beiliang."

The woman's face was peaceful. If there weren't bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, one would have thought she was just asleep.

Gu Zhenbei said: "The Northern Liang royal family is not as good as the previous generation, Xiahou Dun is the son of a Northern Liang family.

The imperial power had long been hollowed out.

If not, how could he command 500,000 troops alone? ”

Li Shixin said: "When the late emperor led the army in person, he signed an alliance with the King of Beiliang, forbidding him to commit crimes again within ten years.

Ever since Xiahou Dun took charge of the Northern Liang border army, he has been constantly invading the Dajing border and provoking incidents. ”

He said: "Xiahou Dun is very ambitious and may want to call himself emperor."

As soon as Li Shixin finished speaking, the Zhenbei Army entered the hall to report.

"Reporting to the general, all the remaining Beiliang troops in the palace have been wiped out."

Gu Zhenbei slowly walked out of the bedroom and looked up at Tianming.

He ordered calmly: "Order the Beiliang Emperor and Empress to be buried."

Li Shixin: “Yes!”

…

Beiliang Camp.

Xiahou Dun waited for several days, and finally the sky turned gloomy.

He even looked forward to the coming storm and the grand scene of capturing the two cities of Dajing in one fell swoop.

Pei Yi approached the big tent with an ugly look on his face.

He said: "General, the Dajing Army has broken through the Beiliang Imperial City. Now we can only fight with our backs against the wall."

Seeing that he was silent, Pei Yi continued:

"When the war broke out, the eldest prince was demoted to a commoner by His Majesty, and his whereabouts are now unknown."

"The other four princes, as well as the civil and military officials, have been taken prisoner."

Xiahou Dun drank a sip of hot water and asked, "Who is the person leading the troops in Dajing?"

Pei Yi thought for a moment and said, "That man claimed to be General Dajingzhuguo, Huo Bei."

"However, Huo Bei wore a strange mask and was eight feet tall. The people who came back to report did not see his true face."

Xiahou Dun kept repeating Huo Bei's name, as if he wanted to crush it with the tip of his tongue and swallow it into his stomach.

A hideous smile flashed across his gloomy face.

"Huo Bei?"

"You are so good at using troops that you can mobilize the Zhenbei Army?"

“That’s really interesting.”

Pei Yi asked curiously, "Does the Marshal know this person?"

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "Know him?"

More than just knowing each other?

He chuckled: "Gu Zhenbei, it turns out you are not dead yet!"

Pei Yi was so shocked when these words came out that his back stiffened.

Pei Yi: "I clearly saw his grave and even dug up his ashes."

Xiahou Dun glanced at him and said, "It's so easy to fake death. I didn't expect that he was poisoned by Beiliang's special poison and still survived.

What a lucky guy. ”

When Zhang Caozhong asked the Beiliang family for medicine, it was because of his secret instigation that things went so smoothly.

Xiahou Dun asked: "Are the sleeve arrows ready?"

Pei Yi: "I'm ready."

Xiahou Dun nodded with satisfaction: "Prepare for war, and attack Dajing the day after tomorrow!"

…

Zhiyi City, the government meeting hall.

All the officials knelt down in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

The officials stood up, all with smiles on their faces.

They thought that if they overthrew Emperor Jing and supported the crown prince to rebel and ascend the throne, they would be reviled by the people in the future and would leave a stigma in the history books of various countries.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Dajing was impersonated by someone.

Your Highness the Crown Prince, the new emperor Xiao Jingzhou is the legitimate heir of the Da Jing Dynasty.

The officials present at the scene had made great contributions to the emperor and upheld the orthodoxy of Dajing. For them, this was even more gratifying than having passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer.

After Lu Heng and Mu Zhao captured the Eastern Zhou imperial city, Mu Zhao flew to Guyan County and took over the remaining Eastern Zhou army.

Chen Lan and Wei Feng conquered the Western Jin Dynasty, and Chen Lan led his troops to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Before the Dajing army entered the city, Chen Lan fired a tank shot, and the Emperor of Southern Tang raised the white flag.

Surrendered.

Chen Gan walked into the meeting room and saluted.

He said: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to sneak into Beiliang."

"We have discovered an old story that concerns the serious injury of the late emperor."

Chen Gan's words made the delighted officials purse their lips quickly.

Xiao Jingzhou frowned slightly: "Speak."

Chen Gan said: "The previous emperor's serious injury was false, it was just a knife in the waist, not a vital part.

I have found out that Zhang Caozhong secretly sought a kind of snake venom from the Northern Liang family. ”

"Name: Jinmi Snake."

"This snake's body is like fire, and it likes to hide near fruit offerings in the wild, hence the name."

“When the late emperor was bandaging his wound, Zhang Caozhong replaced the wound medicine.

The late emperor died of poisoning due to the accumulation of poison over time. ”

"That's why Doctor Zhao was able to diagnose the serious injury."

Upon hearing this, the officials' indignation was written all over their faces.

Yang Jin was a man who could not hide his thoughts, and he started cursing in the meeting room.

"What a despicable Zhang Caozhong! It's too easy for him to have his head chopped off with one blow."

"He should have been tortured to death to atone for the sins he committed."

Yang Jin became more and more angry as he cursed: "Whip the corpse, I'm going to dig him out of the mass grave."

"Whip the corpse!"

Qian Wuyou said: "I never thought Zhang Caozhong would be so bold!"

"I'm afraid he must have found Xiao Chi long ago, which is why he came up with such a vicious plan."

Xiao Jingzhou's eyebrows never relaxed. He asked, "What else did you find out?"

Chen Gan said: "The first family in Beiliang is the Xiahou family."

"The Golden Honey Snake lives deep in the mountains and forests. Beiliang was able to get this thing and connect with Zhang Caozhong. I'm afraid only the Xiahou family can do it."

It was not easy for Chen Gan to find out this information as it happened more than ten years ago.

These are all his guesses, but the truth often lies among them.

Xiao Jingzhou said: "The Northern Liang Army and the Red Northern Army have been preparing to make a move recently. I will eventually have a battle with Xiahou Dun."

"Send my order to prepare for battle and meet the enemy, and bring out the most powerful force of the Dajing Army."

"I will use Xiahou Dun's head to pay tribute to the late emperor's spirit in heaven!"
