The host went on strike again today

Chapter 106 [106] Lord Governor, are you playful (31)
"I'm under house arrest at home, and I don't know whether I'm alive or dead!"

"Is there any follow-up from Queen Mother Zhao?"

"The people who blocked us in the palace cannot enter. The Queen Mother Zhao does not know whether she is alive or dead. Now the emperor and the prime minister are presiding outside."

Chu Jiuge's handsome face was already extremely pale, and his black eyes shone coldly in the dark night.

"Where is Cheng Yuan now?"

"After Princess Zhenguo's rebellion, the son-in-law also disappeared, but General Cheng announced that he had nothing to do with Princess Zhenguo, saying..." The factory guard paused, looked at Chu Jiuge's dark face, and continued cautiously, " He said he would cut you into pieces with a thousand knives."

The murderous intent in Chu Jiuge's eyes made the subordinates around him afraid to say anything.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the man in the cold rain suddenly laughed, but the smile revealed a strong killing intent,
"is her."

At this moment, Chu Jiuge finally figured out which step he had made wrong.

In the dark night, people in the forest suddenly disappeared without a trace.

When this news reached the palace, Jin Yiwei, who had been waiting in full force, couldn't help feeling sorry.

Tonight, the entire capital city was guarded tightly, and as long as Chu Jiuge appeared, there was no need to leave.

In the Hall of Han Yuan, the little emperor Tang Xuan, who had waited for the news, stood up and ordered, "Continue to guard, and everyone stays put. He will definitely enter the city."

Those factory guards Chu Jiuge in the East Factory would not just ignore them.

At this moment, voices of disapproval sounded from behind the curtain.

"He probably has figured it out and won't come back. Those people are just pawns to him."

It was the Empress Dowager Zhao who spoke.

Today's Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't hide the exhaustion on her face, and she was determined to put all her eggs in one basket. She met Tang Xuan's shocked gaze and sighed, "Your imperial sister has already expected this. It is estimated that they have met outside the city now."

"!!" Tang Xuan looked out of the window in shock. The rain outside had eased a little, but the rolling thunder continued.

Countless people are destined to lose sleep tonight.

Until half a month ago, Tang Xuan didn't know anything about it. That night was no different from usual. He was reading in the royal study until late at night, when he suddenly woke up from his dream and found that the little eunuch who had been serving by his side had died suddenly, and the one holding the knife turned out to be My own queen!
"Hush, don't talk, follow me immediately, we are running out of time." Tang Rui covered his mouth and dragged him all the way to Hanyuan Hall through the secret passage.

When he was young, he followed Tang Rui to explore the entire palace and knew all about the secret passages here.

It was dark in Hanyuan Palace, but Queen Mother Zhao was waiting for them with a sullen face.

Suddenly, Tang Xuan seemed to have returned to the time when he was playful and was reprimanded by Queen Mother Zhao when he was young.

However, following Tang Rui's explanation and the stories of the bloody maids or eunuchs who were brought in to beat him, he realized that he had been living under a huge lie.

Chu Jiuge actually had a feud with them, and he was also a spy placed by the emperor's side.

Their father actually wanted to kill them!

Tang Xuan's first instinct was that he couldn't believe it.

But Tang Rui's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on Tang Xuan.

"Has Your Majesty forgotten how you got into this position?"

Although he was still young when the Supreme Emperor died, he also knew that the second prince whom his father liked the most was the Queen Mother Zhao who suddenly launched a coup. The second prince was accused of killing his father and the fourth prince was driven out of the capital. Sit on the throne.

Later, as he got older and added the books Tang Rui gave him, Tang Xuan gradually figured out why Empress Dowager Zhao wanted to kill her.

The second prince was born to the former queen, and he was kind to them on the surface, but once he ascended the throne, the Zhao family's party would surely suffer, and they would not escape death.

And their father, the emperor, probably already knew that there might be such a thing, and sent Chu Jiuge to them when he was still on the throne.

Once the virtual dream is broken, many things are immediately cleared up.

Why has Dongchang been so powerful in the past few years, why did the imperial sister become more arrogant and domineering before the big wedding, why the royalist faction in the court is declining day by day, it seems that Chu Jiuge is working for the Queen Mother Zhao, but in fact all of them are It is Chu Jiuge's pawn, and his real master is his fourth brother Tang Chen!

Tang Xuan grew up overnight, because he knew that he could not retreat or escape. Behind him were his mother and Tang Rui. Now he is the most legitimate person to handle this matter.

At this moment.

Hearing Queen Mother Zhao's words, Tang Xuan instantly figured it out. Tang Rui probably thought that Chu Jiuge's scheming would not be so easy to fall into, so he set up an ambush outside the city.

And he, besides waiting, can't do anything else!

No, there might be something else he could do.

Tang Xuan's mind flashed through Tang Rui's answer to him when he left that night, "Tang Xuan, you remember, only if you keep the throne, can we have the possibility of seeing each other again. Your enemy is not others, but yourself!"

Now there are still people who are neutral in the court. After all, Tang Xuan is still young, and he has not yet shown the aura of an emperor.

Thinking of this, Tang Xuan gave an order after leaving Hanyuan Hall.

"Kill everyone in the princess's mansion!"

Only by cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots and killing people can the secret be kept.

That night, a raging fire broke out in the princess mansion in the pouring rain. Not long after, the eighth prince was also brought into the palace and placed under house arrest.

The next day, the four servants Tang Rui married before and their families were all guarded. Tang Xuan killed a minister who told Tang Xuan that Chu Jiuge was innocent in court.

Suddenly, all the ministers in the court did not dare to underestimate the new emperor.

Inside the Hanyuan Hall.

Empress Dowager Zhao also stayed up all night. She didn't let out a sigh of relief until she received a safe message.

Suddenly, he burst into tears.

In fact, Queen Mother Zhao only knew about it a day earlier than Tang Xuan.

At first, she thought that Tang Rui just brought snacks to her for tea and chat, but when she found that all the maids and eunuchs in the house were gone, the keen Empress Dowager Zhao noticed something was wrong.

Although she was shocked and frightened by the affairs of the Supreme Emperor, Chu Jiuge, and the Fourth Prince, she still felt deep remorse.

She was too careless, thinking that no one could threaten their mother and daughter now, but she raised a dog that would kill the master!

But what she still couldn't accept was Tang Rui's proposal.

"You will become a sinner through the ages, Rui'er, don't you want your reputation? Besides, don't you want to die? We must have other ways!"

"Chu Jiuge has been in Yushang for more than ten years. There are many of his people both in the court and in the inner palace. If he doesn't have a reasonable name, it will be difficult to convince the public. Furthermore, do we have to kill all those people? When the time comes, When the Tang Dynasty's [-]-strong army attacks, many officials will surrender in order to protect themselves. We must catch them off guard and strike first, so I am the best choice."

Empress Dowager Zhao was shaken.

Although doing this will inevitably damage their own interests, this is their best choice at the moment.

Preemptive strike!

That's how she killed the second prince back then and let Tang Xuan sit on the throne. However, this is equivalent to pushing her own daughter into the fire pit with her own hands, but it may be an opportunity!
As long as the rebellion is put down, her Rui'er can come back with another identity.
