Chapter 156: The Double Ninth Festival Sacrifice Event (VIII)
The people in the city didn't know what happened at the altar. They only saw that when the originally grand sacrificial team returned, the civil and military officials did not look the same as before.
They all looked worried, and at a glance, they noticed that not only were many officials missing, but some sharp-eyed people even saw a very beautiful woman sitting on the dragon chariot with the empress.
Some people were curious about what was going on, so they followed all the way to Chengtian Gate.
The gate of Chengtian Gate was reopened, and the Chixia Army and the Imperial Guards who had entered earlier came out one after another to greet them.
Moreover, just in front of Chengtian Gate, the common people who had followed saw the officials paying their respects and then went back.
The common people felt more and more that something must have happened, but although the Mingde Gate was wide open, they were not allowed to go out to see for the time being.
However, the common people who were outside Mingde Gate before now understood the whole story after the explanation of the Jingzhao prefect.
They all looked shocked.
Of course, it is possible to guess that this is a rebellion.
But no one expected that it was the Queen Mother who rebelled!
"That old bitch is tired of living, isn't she?"
"Alas, it's all because of power."
"Why is she so depressed? She is already the Empress Dowager, yet she still wants to be the Emperor. How can she never be satisfied? Your Excellency, do you want to behead her or tortured to death?"
"Your Majesty is truly amazing. You have anticipated all of this. However, the Queen came to save Your Majesty like this. This friendship is more real than what she wrote in her poems."
"Sir, please tell me in detail what just happened."
…
The common people were talking to each other, looking at the Jingzhao prefect who was standing in the front.
Although this Jingzhao prefect was not the Empress Dowager's man, he had an unclear relationship with the Grand Tutor Yang Shanchang. He was actually very worried, fearing that the Emperor would pursue old accounts. After all, he had previously teamed up with Wang Maoqing from the Empress Dowager's side to do the Empress' business.
But since His Majesty has given the order, there is no need to hide it.
What this means is that we should tell the people everything that happened.
In other words, your majesty means to tell the people all these things, tell them everything you know, the more detailed the better, tell the people everything, and spread it throughout the city through the people's mouths.
So no matter how frightened he was, the prefect of Jingzhao did not dare to bother with this matter any more.
After some people listened again to the story of His Majesty and Su Chang'an, in which the Jingzhao prefect slightly embellished the story, they all expressed their feelings.
Some people even looked at the corpses of the left and right guards that had been piled up and burned, and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
Those damn bastards actually dared to disturb our peaceful life, they deserve to die!
…
After the empress dowager returned to the main hall, Su Wenqing from Xingqing Palace had the empress dowager's palace maids arrested.
Those people knew that the situation was hopeless, so they just surrendered.
After all, there is no hope if we continue to fight.
Therefore, when Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang arrived at Xingqing Palace, the people of the Chixia Army tied up the palace maids and made them kneel on one side.
The one at the front is naturally Xianghong.
It is worth mentioning that Xiang Hong had multiple sword wounds on her body, and the tendons of her feet were directly torn, so she was lying on the ground with a painful look on her face while being tied up.
Because when Lian Wei was trying to catch Xiang Hong, he found that she was trying to escape, so he simply took action and cut Xiang Hong's tendons.
After Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang got off the dragon chariot, everyone immediately saluted.
After just a glance at the palace servants, Xia Fengxiang ordered Su Wenqing to kill them all.
It was impossible for these people not to know about Li Nishang's rebellion, so Xia Fengxiang had already thought of how to deal with it.
As for Xiang Hong, Xia Fengxiang simply had someone send her to the Dali Temple to wait for Dugu Ruyuan and others to interrogate her.
Su Wenqing took the order.
The bodies of Song Diaosi and Song En were also placed aside by Su Wenqing.
Lu Cai did this because Su Wenqing knew that the young eunuch had some friendship with Su Changan, so he had someone send him back to his room properly and asked a female doctor to help take a look at him. But just in case, he still asked someone to watch over him.
Looking at Song En's corpse, Su Wenqing told me about this old eunuch who had been repaying favors all his life.
Xia Fengxiang felt complicated, because she remembered very clearly that when she was a child, this old Diao Si took her to play. Moreover, when an envoy from another country did not know Xia Fengxiang's identity and bumped into Xia Fengxiang, this old Diao Si angrily took action to protect Xia Fengxiang. There were many such things.
So after a long silence, Xia Fengxiang finally asked Su Wenqing to ask a monk to chant sutras for cremation and hand over the ashes to Lu Cai for disposal. Song En's name would not be written on the list of traitors.
Su Changan didn't say anything because he didn't know what had happened between Song En, Xia Fengxiang, the late Queen, and Li Nishang.
But looking at the corpse of old Diao Si with a slight smile on his face.
Su Changan felt.
He probably felt finally liberated.
Don't think about these things that only add to the sadness.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang walked straight up the stairs.
Enter the main hall.
Li Nishang was sitting in the main seat at the front of the hall, with blood on her body.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang both knew that the blood came from Song En, so they were not surprised.
See Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
The Chixia soldiers on guard saluted and left after receiving instructions.
Yan Yunxiao and Yan Ruyu did not come in, but stood outside the hall.
There is only Li Nishang who doesn't know martial arts. Now Su Changan is enough to protect His Majesty.
There were only three of them in the huge palace.
Li Nishang stopped combing her hair and looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
There was blood on his face, and his hair was still a little messy even though it had been combed for a long time, and his hands were covered in blood.
She really is a crazy woman.
Li Nishang looked at Su Changan and the other two and said with a smile, "I know that I have been stripped of my status as queen mother and demoted to a criminal, so... do you want me to salute you two?"
Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan ignored this crazy woman.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan whispered, "Wait for me here."
Xia Fengxiang nodded, glanced at Li Nishang coldly, and then stopped looking at Li Nishang.
She said she just came to take a look at this woman, so she just took a look.
Su Changan walked towards Li Nishang.
Li Nishang looked at Su Changan and said with a smile: "Actually, I thought I could see you cry this time. After all, you look like a flower, so you must look beautiful when you cry. What a pity, I can't see it anymore."
Su Changan ignored the crazy woman's nonsense.
Li Nishang continued, "Even if yours is not there, Xingyue's will be fine, but now it seems that even my people who went to kill Li Jiulang should be gone. Oh, yes, there are also people who went to kill the Su Mansion. I find it funny when I mention the Su Mansion. You have only been together for a month, but you can actually have feelings for each other. How did you get along? Don't you feel that they are deliberately treating you so well because you want to be the queen?"
"I don't believe that you two really have feelings for each other, so I thought of having someone capture that Su Liushi, and then that Su Wan'er, and that chubby kid called Su Zhao, right? I thought of capturing them to see if they really have feelings for you, especially to let you choose between Su Wan'er and Su Liushi, and see what you think."
Bang!!
Just when Li Nishang said this, Su Changan had already walked up to her and slapped her in the face.
Li Nishang was slapped to the ground. When she raised her head, her face was a little dazed, and a slap mark appeared clearly on her face.
He looked at Su Changan in confusion.
But Li Nishang didn't say anything. Su Changan frowned and said, "The plot is wrong. Let's do it again."
Bang!
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped in the face again.
Now, Su Changan's slap marks appeared on both of Li Nishang's faces.
In particular, Li Nishang's face became red and swollen immediately.
Li Nishang was completely stunned. After a moment of dull eyes, she looked up at Su Changan with some anger on her face: "You..."
But just as she opened her mouth, Su Changan grabbed Li Nishang's hair.
Li Nishang screamed.
Xia Fengxiang watched quietly without any expression.
Su Changan looked at Li Nishang, whose expression was distorted by pain, and said, "I'm not here to listen to your nonsense, nor am I here to waste my wife's time. I just want to slap you in the face. So stop talking nonsense."
After saying that, Su Changan let go of her hand and slapped Li Nishang in the face again.
A mouthful of blood spurted out directly from Li Nishang's mouth.
Li Nishang was feeling dizzy and her right face was even more swollen after being hit again.
At this moment, Su Changan stepped on Li Nishang's leg.
Snap!!
Another heart-wrenching scream came out of Li Nishang's mouth.
Li Nishang's entire face was deformed.
Su Changan looked at Li Nishang coldly: "Actually, I just need to slap you, but you insist on mentioning my stepmother, and my brothers and sisters. I am not good at torturing people, so you have to bear with the pain. Also, my silly brother is called Su Zhaoxin. I know you are stupid, but it is not difficult to remember his name."
After saying that, Su Changan turned around and prepared to leave.
But this time, Li Nishang quickly came back to her senses. Although her face was distorted by pain and she looked at Su Changan with anger, she immediately...
Li Nishang laughed again.
When he laughed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, with a few teeth in the blood.
But Li Nishang looked at her teeth and smiled even more happily, then looked at Su Changan: "Slap me? Hahahaha, you want me to talk less? Okay, then I won't say anything, but guess what else I did. Will the woman behind you do that because of you?"
Su Changan looked at Li Nishang and said, "If you mean petroleum, then it's called asphalt. You had people put it in the Imperial Temple, intending to burn the entire temple. The asphalt has been taken away, so there won't be a big fire."
After that, Su Changan added: "To be honest, if you didn't have a good family background, you wouldn't be able to beat those prostitutes in the red-light district. Don't play politics in your next life. You don't understand it."
After saying that, Su Changan turned and walked towards Xia Fengxiang.
Just as he passed by, Xia Fengxiang had already picked up Su Changan's hand and started to wipe it: "It's so dirty, and there's blood on it. Don't even think about holding my hand until it's clean."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, "Then you pull me?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then helped Su Changan wipe the blood of Li Nishang off his hands.
Li Nishang was lying on the main seat, supporting herself while seeing this scene.
After being stunned for a moment, he thought of the late emperor and the late empress, and his face suddenly became ferocious: "Die! You all should die!!"
After the roar, Li Nishang looked at Su Changan with bloodshot eyes and laughed: "Do you think you are the only one who is this bitch? Don't forget that you are a woman! Su Changan! The royal family must have children. Otherwise, who will be the heir in the future?"
"This bitch's two brothers? One of them is a martial arts fanatic, and the other one became a Taoist priest. What about the child? Or should we rely on the Eighth Prince, or the King of Shu, or the Fourth Prince. Although the Fourth Prince is obedient, his son is a waste."
"The Eighth Prince also has the son of the King of Shu, and this bitch is willing to give him to him? Hahahahahaha, so don't think you will always be favored. She will find a man, or give the position to my child. If that happens, it will be too bad!!!"
Just as Li Nishang said this, Su Changan suddenly appeared in front of Li Nishang, grabbed Li Nishang's neck and lifted her up.
Li Nishang's throat was choked and her face immediately turned red because she couldn't breathe. She even grabbed Su Changan's hand and tried to struggle.
Su Changan looked at Li Nishang coldly. After thinking for a while, he was too lazy to say more. Instead, he said softly, "I am a man. This is a little secret between me and my perverted wife. So you don't have to worry about the future generations."
Li Nishang originally had a look of struggling in pain on her face, but after hearing these words, her eyes, which had become even more swollen with bloodshot, were filled with disbelief.
Su Changan smiled, too lazy to say anything more, and exerted a little force with his hands.
Snap~~~
Not to mention her throat, even Li Nishang's neck was crushed by Su Changan.
Bang!
Su Changan let go.
Li Nishang's body immediately fell to the ground, her eyes still wide open with disbelief.
Su Changan turned and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "So I said I couldn't help it."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, glanced at Li Nishang on the ground, and was too lazy to say anything. He took out the silk handkerchief he had just used to help Su Changan wipe his hands, and walked out of the hall.
Xia Fengxiang said nothing.
Su Changan smiled, looking at Xia Fengxiang who was pulling his hand and wiping it carefully, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Are you taking advantage of me?"
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes to look at Su Changan, and with a snap, he threw Su Changan's hand aside: "You only know how to talk nonsense all day long, you are not serious at all!"
Su Changan was helpless: "Didn't we do so much work today?"
Xia Fengxiang snorted, but remembered that Su Changan had vomited blood. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and grabbed Su Changan's hand. He didn't say anything, but his cheeks flushed.
Su Changan smiled, took Xia Fengxiang's hand and walked outside.
As for the fact that Su Changan just killed Li Nishang.
Xia Fengxiang said nothing.
Because just as she started killing people.
If those people are not killed, they will hurt Su Changan.
Su Changan killed people because if she didn't kill those people, they would hurt her.
That's all
As the two walked hand in hand, Xia Fengxiang asked, "Am I awesome today?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Didn't I say it at the altar? Today's powerful and majestic people are even more powerful."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "I said I would give you a comfortable harem, but you will have to clean up the mess in the palace."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you let my aunt come? I'm not the queen yet, let me live a comfortable life for a few days. If you let Li Chunfang and Cao Shen come, it will be enough to keep me busy."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "You are my queen. These things will have to be done sooner or later, and there are many other things that you will have to take over."
Su Changan heard this and sighed: "Okay, since you are begging me like this, I will do it. After all, you are my emperor."
Xia Fengxiang couldn't stand Su Changan's nonsense any longer and kicked him on the butt.
Su Changan immediately said: "Xia Qingge, do you believe that I coughed up blood? And you touched my butt with your foot! You didn't let me touch it, so you touched me yourself!"
Xia Fengxiang heard this and squeezed Su Changan's hand: "Su Changan!!"
Su Changan looked at the angry Xia Fengxiang, pinched Xia Fengxiang's face with both hands, and said with a smile: "I deliberately made you angry."
Xia Fengxiang became even more annoyed.
But the next moment, Su Changan leaned forward, held Xia Fengxiang's face with both hands, and kissed her on the mouth.
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but closed his eyes the next second.
Enjoy the tenderness of each other's lips.
The two of them were standing right in the middle of the entrance to the hall, facing Li Nishang's eyes that had completely lost their focus and life.
…
Inside the Gongyuan.
All candidates were taking the exam in their respective single rooms. Although everyone heard the explosion, they were all curious.
But it did not affect their ability to calm down and continue taking the exam.
In the examiner's lounge.
Everyone looked horrified.
Because just now, someone came forward and told the whole process of the Queen Mother's rebellion.
I also learned that gunpowder was buried in the Imperial Examination Hall, and the amount of gunpowder was enough to kill everyone!
This made the examiners gasp.
At the same time, I feel sad that the Queen Mother dared to do such a heinous act of regicide and rebellion.
I am even more shocked at how thorough your majesty's plan is.
Mu Xu had the calmest expression, after all, he had known about this for a long time.
At that moment, Mu Xu took a sip of the teacup, then looked at Xun Kuang, Cui Yu and the others, and said with a smile: "Everyone, we will be friends for life and death in the future. After all, if the gunpowder exploded, none of us could escape. But His Majesty sent people to take us away, so we have passed through the gates of hell without anyone noticing."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised and could only smile bitterly.
Cui Yu immediately thought of something, looked at Mu Xu and bowed, "Master Jijiu, His Majesty has granted another fifty honors. Do you want to tell the students?"
Mu Xu nodded: "Go ahead and tell him. The exam has just started, so it's not a bother. Besides, this is a blessing from heaven, and I'm sure his state of mind will be elevated to a higher level."
The examiners bowed immediately.
Then he hurried outside.
Mu Xu picked up the tea again and looked at the table lightly with his hand.
He began to hum a little tune.
How to say it
The Lord of the Courtesy
I’m in a very good mood.
