Alien Summoning System

Chapter 232
Seven days later, the news of the emperor's death could not be stopped, and it spread all over the world. At the same time, there was news that the guardian of the country and the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty disappeared. The concubine took control quickly, and on the second day when the news of the emperor's death came out, under the recommendation of a group of confidants, her son ascended the throne. Concubine Xiang stayed behind the scenes and actually controlled the power of the court.

However, Xiangfei's rule is not recognized by people, and various rumors spread quickly, including Xiangfei's background as a prostitute, Xiangfei's promiscuity, and even the most deadly thing is that it is said that the new emperor is not royal orthodox, but Xiangfei. The product of a concubine's secret marriage with a certain minister in the court.

Afterwards, the Minister of Rites, who had just been wronged, went to the palace barefoot that day, and severely reprimanded the concubine Yao for ten crimes. The concubine was dragged out of the palace gate by the enraged concubine, and was beaten to death.

However, the governors and governors of various places refused to continue to obey the orders of the imperial court on this ground. Although they still belonged to the imperial court in name, in fact, the embryonic form of the separatist regime of the princes had already emerged.

"Bang~"

In the imperial palace, in Ningxiang Palace, Ningxiang slapped the table case angrily, and the solid table case shattered into a pile of fragments under the vigor. A group of newly promoted ministers of civil and military affairs standing in the palace at this moment were silent.

"Empress Dowager, people's words are terrible. I think that the messages in the public should be stopped as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the rumors continue, I am afraid that your Majesty's throne will not be guaranteed!" A civil servant bit the bullet and came out.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, then I will leave this matter to you to deal with. You must suppress these inexplicable messages to me in the shortest possible time." Ning Xiang said with a cold face, she knew very well in her heart that those so-called The veracity of the rumors, she even knows who is the mastermind behind the scenes, but she can't say, she can be sure that among these newly promoted officials, there must be an inner ghost inserted by Zhuo Ao'an. May fall into today's field.

"General Pei." After calming down, Ning Xiang looked at the first general on the right and said in a deep voice.

"The last general is here." The general stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Although other states and counties can't take care of it for the time being, the Xingyang and Mengjin areas must be in our hands. I order you to lead an army of [-] to take these two cities as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the defense of all parties." Ningxiang said in a deep voice. .

"Yes, I'll do it now." Nodding his head, General Pei got up and left.

"Let's all back down." Waving her hand, Ning Xiang said a little tiredly.

"The ministers are waiting to leave." A group of ministers bowed to leave, and the deserted look returned to the huge palace.

Ning Xiang quietly leaned against the edge of the bed, and the figure of that year kept echoing in her mind. After a long time, Ning Xiang opened her eyes, with a strong greed in her eyes, and murmured: "One day, I want you to kneel in front of this palace and surrender under this palace's skirt forever!"

……

"The method... is dark enough." Jiang Ning, in Zhuo Ao's mansion, looked at the information in his hand, Fu Tianchou would die, Zhuo Ao was not surprised, and after a little contact, it can be concluded that this old man is a direct minister, and direct ministers usually There won't be any good results. What really surprised Zhuo Ao was Ningxiang's decisive and ruthless actions. The whole family of the Fu family was executed, and only two daughters were secretly sent out by Fu Tianchou, who had foreseen the coming crisis. Missing her whereabouts, this decisiveness and ruthlessness made even many men who thought they were heroes feel ashamed.

"The new emperor has been enthroned for half a month, and the world has entered a new round of reshuffle." Xiao Zhao snuggled up to Zhuo Ao and said with a smile: "All forces do not respect the orders of the imperial court, and the imperial court continues to use the strategy of driving tigers and wolves away." To make the princes attack and annex each other, and kill each other, this empress dowager is quite clever."

"Smart?" Zhuo Ao shook his head disapprovingly and said, "If you have experienced court life like her, these methods will not be unfamiliar. To put it simply, it is actually killing people with a knife again and again. What a pity..."

"Husband, what's the pity?" Xiao Zhao looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously.

"Struggling for the world is not a court battle. A court battle is a conspiracy between a group of women. If you borrow a knife to kill someone, you will kill yourself. But fighting for the world, although this is a good move, it hastened the merger of the princes. It seems that the princes are It is constantly decreasing, but in fact, the strength of the princes is constantly becoming stronger in the annexation and killing. In the end, the weak will be eliminated, and the strong will become stronger. At that time, it will be the time for this country to perish. " Zhuo Ao laughed.

"If it's your husband, what would you do?" Xiao Zhao asked Zhuo Ao with a smile.

"Serve the emperor to order the princes!" Zhuo Ao laughed and said: "Whoever is disobedient will be beaten, and the weak ones will be attacked first. At least in this period, the imperial court holds the righteousness, and other princes dare not risk the disobedience of the world. Take the initiative to attack the imperial court. We can just take this opportunity to expand our territory bit by bit and at the same time strengthen our strength."

"Isn't she Husband's disciple? Husband didn't teach her these things?" Xiao Zhao looked at Zhuo Ao and smiled.

"I have no intention of accepting apprentices, and I just gave her a chance." Zhuo Ao shook his head.

"Is it really okay for your husband to use a weak woman like this?" Because she is also a woman, Xiao Zhao has some sympathy for this woman who was used by Zhuo Ao.

"She is different from you. She is a very ambitious woman. Look at the things that happened after she came to power. Even if this kind of person knows that she has been used, if she does it all over again, she will still make such a choice." Thinking Back then, Zhuo Ao smiled disapprovingly at that brothel girl named Xiao Cui.

"Report~"

With a long and drawn out voice approaching quickly from a distance, a general from the mansion rushed towards Zhuo Ao, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists at Zhuo Ao: "My lord, the imperial court has issued an imperial edict, saying that we are deceiving the emperor. Raising private troops, arbitrarily changing the court’s laws and regulations, and intending to rebel, I have ordered the Jiedu envoys around Yangzhou, Chaozhou, Dengzhou, and Huizhou to jointly send [-] troops to attack from four directions.”

"Understood, order Xu Da to command the troops to defend against the enemy, and order Zhao Yun to lead an army of [-] sailors to march westward, taking advantage of the emptiness of the four prefectures, to attack their hinterlands and cut off their way back!" Zhuo Ao said calmly. He has already speculated with Xu Da and Zhuge Wolong about which step the imperial court will take after the chaos in the world, and prepared a corresponding plan. Now that the enemy army is attacking, it is just to use one of the plans. Zhuo Ao Ye just took advantage of this opportunity to expand his base in one fell swoop. At the same time, he was able to win this hearty victory, and the prestige of the imperial court would be further weakened.

"Yes." The general agreed and left quickly.

Zhuo Ao stood up, looked at the sky, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Take care of yourself, this war will not be that simple."

Although it is not clear who the real chosen emperor of the world is, this kind of thing, in the eyes of those high-ranking immortal Buddhas, is probably already a certainty, and he is obviously a variable in the eyes of these immortal Buddhas, so he does not believe it. People will be really honest and really don't interfere at all.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

……

Outside Jiangning, Ning Caichen brought the Fu sisters to a river, washed his face with the river water, and cleared up his drowsy mind. Chen sighed, at a time like this, he didn't know how to comfort the pair of sisters.

Although Fu Tianchou was convicted in Jiangning Governor's Mansion with the help of Zhuo Ao, the relationship between the two was not harmonious and friendly. When his two daughters returned to the capital, Ning Caichen remembered that Zhuge Wolong looked at their backs and shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, if you go to the capital, something will happen."

Zhuge Wolong didn't say what the disaster was, but Ning Caichen had to worry about this woman who had almost the same appearance as Nie Xiaoqian. After some internal struggles, he finally bid farewell to Zhuo Ao and went to Beijing quietly.

It was only two days late, but the situation has reached an irreversible point. Fu Tianchou, including the Ma family who is related to Fu's family, was ransacked and beheaded. Fortunately, Fu Qingfeng came out and brought out her younger sister , is the greatest fortune in misfortune.

"Miss Qingfeng, after crossing this river, even if it's in the territory of Jiangning, even the army of the imperial court may not dare to come in and arrest people." Seeing Fu Qingfeng who was frowning and puzzled, Ning Caichen couldn't bear it, and softly persuaded.

"Thank you Mr. Ning, Qingfeng is fine." Shaking his head, Fu Qingfeng forced a smile.

Opening his mouth, Ning Caichen didn't know how to continue the conversation, and finally sighed helplessly, wiped the river water from his face, and was about to stand up.

"Young people sigh at a young age, no good, no good." A slightly old voice suddenly sounded, making the tense Fu Qingfeng and two sisters Huo Di stand up and look at the river vigilantly. There are a few extra figures.

"You are..." Ning Caichen reached out his hand to stop Fu Qingfeng who was about to strike, looked at the old man with Huafa in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "Lord Luo, the magistrate of Yangzhou?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect someone to remember me as an old man at this time." The old man turned slightly pale, and sat down by the boulder by the river. At this moment, Ning Caichen realized that there was a shining sword edge protruding from the old man's chest. Blood dripped continuously along the shining blade.

"Lord Luo, what are you..." Ning Caichen asked in confusion, the magistrate of a prefecture can be regarded as a town of vassals in today's era of separatist lords, how could he end up in such a mess?

"Successful and defeated, that's all." Master Luo shook his head casually, looked in the direction of Jiang Ning, his eyes were a little blurred and said: "Although Luo Shouxin's life as an official is not upright, but he is worthy of this heart, Only this time, being blinded by interests and ending up like this, it should be a catastrophe."

Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng looked at each other subconsciously, with some bad guesses in their hearts.
