Since Hou Xiqiao was brought back to the capital by the secret guards, he has been imprisoned in the sky prison, in the cell of Cheng Dan at that time.But for some reason, Sima Hong didn't show up all the time, and people brought food every day, and he didn't intend to kill Hou Xiqiao at all.

Hou Xiqiao was meditating in the dark cell, not knowing where Baitangzhi was doing now.Some regrets that I couldn't see his growth, but it doesn't matter, a person like him will eventually do something, and it's unknown if he will even set off a huge wave.

Counting the days, Sima Hong's enthronement ceremony should have ended, and now Sima Hong is the real Ninth Five Supreme, so he should be free to deal with him.

But the actual situation did not develop as Hou Xiqiao expected. The princes and ministers urged Sima Hong to ascend the throne repeatedly, but Sima Hong shirked it for various reasons, and even ordered that no one should be allowed to write a letter about ascending the throne.

State affairs were still going on in an orderly manner, but the enthronement ceremony was extended indefinitely. Sima Hong walked to the gate of the sky prison several times, but he just kept pacing back and forth at the door, never stepping into the sky prison once.

Now that Hou Xiqiao had been arrested, Sima Hong's heart softened suddenly. He didn't know whether he should kill this person, after all, for him, Hou Xiqiao was his last friend.

A few days later, the time for the enthronement ceremony was finally fixed, and Hou Xiqiao met Sima Hong for the first time. Sima Hong told him that in three days, he would become the real emperor, and at that time, Hou Xiqiao would die .

Hou Xiqiao said a word of congratulations, but said nothing else. Sima Hong left and never came back.

At the enthronement ceremony three days later, all the princes and ministers stood under the stage, waiting for Sima Hong to appear, but they waited and waited, but an unexpected visitor came first, that is Xin Mo, the commander of the Jiangzhou garrison with a silver armor and a white horse. .

He rushed to the capital alone, for the sake of Hou Xiqiao alone. Xin Mo immediately grabbed him and stood in the forefront of the princes and ministers. He took off his silver mask and sat sideways on the horse's back.Xin Mo looked down at these people, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

As long as he is willing, none of these people can leave alive. Today's capital city is no longer what it used to be, and the world is about to change.

Not long after, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled, and a man wearing a black and yellow dragon robe walked forward slowly with the support of his attendants. Needless to say, this man was naturally Sima Hong.

But when the man approached, the princes and ministers present were a little puzzled. How could such a grand and solemn ceremony as the enthronement ceremony be so childish that they even covered their eyes with black cloth?

When they took a closer look, they found that the person standing on the stage was not Sima Hong at all, this was a person they had never seen before, no, they had seen him before, the moment the black cloth was taken off, all the princes and ministers knew him people.

This person was the death row prisoner who was imprisoned not long ago. His name was Hou Xiqiao. Everyone was shocked, and some even angrily reprimanded Hou Xiqiao for daring to seek power and usurp the throne, completely forgetting Xin Mo who was beside him. Suddenly, Hou Xiqiao The bridge was drowned in a roar of curses.

In fact, Hou Xiqiao didn't figure out the situation. During the time in the sky prison, he couldn't see the sun at all. When he suddenly saw the light, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.

He originally thought that the time limit for his release from prison was approaching, but he didn't expect it to be this scene. Just when the crowd was excited, a crisp gunfire sounded. In an instant, everyone looked at Xin Mo in silver armor, and then No one dared to say a word.

Xin Mo walked to the front of the crowd, put the gun in his hands aside, then knelt down on his knees, and shouted in an extremely loud and respectful voice:

"Long live my emperor!"

As soon as the sound came out, all the princes and ministers fell to their knees. They all knew the weight of the words and Xin Mo's pressure. Although they didn't know what happened, they had no choice but to follow suit. .

Who is the emperor is not important, what is important is how to live, since Xin Mo approves of Hou Xiqiao, they have no reason to object.

At this moment, Hou Xiqiao, who was standing on the high platform, already knew what had happened. Apart from his sorrow, he still had some incomprehension. Why did Sima Hong do this?

Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to continue following Sima Hong's arrangement. The enthronement ceremony was solemn and cumbersome, and it took about a stick of incense before the main ceremony came to an end.

It was already noon at this time, Hou Xiqiao removed all the decorations and hurried towards the outside of the city.

If Baitangzhi had been present at this time, he would have shouted in surprise, because this was the Houxi Bridge he had never seen before, and he looked flustered, as if he had lost his soul.

Hou Xiqiao wanted to find someone: Sima Hong who had disappeared. Only Hou Xiqiao knew where Sima Hong was now. Finally, Hou Xiqiao, who was panting heavily, finally arrived at his destination.

This is an extremely secret place outside the city. There is a bridge and a wooden sign with two poems written on it:

"Plum blossoms in the waiting hall, willows in the bridge and stream."

"Lanqiao Chunxue Jun returns to the sun, and Qinling autumn winds when I go."

This used to be the secret base of Sima Hong, Hou Xiqiao and Sima Wan, and they spent their childhood here.

Without the company of their parents, no one cared, the three of them just hugged each other to keep warm in the cold world. More than ten years have passed, they were busy with their own affairs, and no one came back here.

Hou Xiqiao saw Sima Hong leaning on the bridge railing with his back to him, and he approached quietly, although his footsteps were very light, Sima Hong still found him.

"You're here? What, do you like this gift?"

Hou Xiqiao didn't answer him, but asked Sima Hong why he did this. Sima Hong replied, there was no reason, he just wanted to do it.

"From the moment my sister passed away, the real me was already dead. Cheng Dan was right. I am not a good material to be an emperor. The emperor should not be a person who is influenced by emotions, so I gave up this position to You sit."

Hou Xiqiao wanted to ask something, but found that Sima Hong had fallen on the bridge. Hou Xiqiao rushed up to check, and found that Sima Hong had died of anger, and he committed suicide by taking poison.In Sima Hong's arms, Hou Xiqiao found a letter addressed to him.

In the letter, Sima Hong explained why he did so.

When he was four years old, he saw the first emperor kill his mother with his own eyes. Later, he met Cheng Dan, then his sister Sima Wan, and after that, Hou Xiqiao.

When he was about to fall into the abyss, it was their presence that made Sima Hong slow down in front of the abyss, but these people gradually moved away from him due to various reasons.

Sima Hong once thought, without the existence of these people, what would be the meaning of his life, the supreme imperial power?Sima Hong didn't care at all.

If giving up the throne can bring back the lives of his sister and mother, then he will definitely not do all evil for the throne, Cheng Dan will not expose his corpse in the wilderness, and Bai Tangzhi will not hang his life by a thread to rescue Hou Xiqiao.

His sister is the most cherished person in his life. He hopes that his sister will be happy and that she can get whatever she wants, but later Sima Hong finds out that he is wrong. There is something wrong with the way he loves his sister. thing.

At the moment when he swung his sword, Sima Hong had no way to turn back. Later, he asked Cheng Dan what was the right way to go. This way was pointed out by Cheng Dan for him.

The world is the world of Liming common people, and Hou Xiqiao can become a majestic and strategic master of the world. In the past, Hou Xiqiao was deprived of the opportunity to display his ambition by the late emperor, and now Sima Hong is returning it together. I hope that the world in the future will be able to As he wishes.

Hou Xiqiao tore up the letter. It turned out that he was the only one who was truly alone. He cried bitterly while hugging Sima Hong's body, tears dripping silently on Sima Hong's body, and then disappeared without a sound.

Hou Xiqiao found tools, found a place under the poplar tree beside the bridge, and buried Sima Hong's body here.

Hou Xiqiao thought, when he dies, he will be buried here, and Sima Wan must be there too. Then the three of them will be together on Huangquan Road, and they will be very happy.

The enthronement ceremony is over, Hou Xiqiao becomes the lord of the world, and Xin Mo is still the commander of the Jiangzhou garrison, but the difference is that Xin Mo has the command of all the troops at the border, which is an unprecedented treatment.

Bai Tangzhi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was still recuperating and hadn't become an official. However, Bai Tangzhi's position had been determined by default, and the position of prime minister had been vacant for a long time. When Bai Tangzhi was in better health, he could take up the post of prime minister.

Within three years, the whole country will be lightly taxed and corvee, Xin Mo will be in charge of military training, and Bai Tangzhi will be in charge of the country's civil affairs, and both civil and military affairs will go hand in hand. Three years later, the national power will increase greatly. For the invasion of Xianbei within three years, Hou Xiqiao never sent anyone to take the initiative to pursue it. Instead, let Xin Mo defend.

In the past three years, there have been millions of soldiers, literati have also emerged under the training of Bai Tangzhi, and all walks of life are flourishing. When the whole country is full of vitality, there are reports of a large-scale attack by the Xianbei army at the border. information.

Hou Xiqiao convened a meeting of hundreds of officials in the capital to discuss how to deal with this attack.

In this meeting, Hou Xiqiao formally appointed Xin Mo as the general, and he would lead the nation's elite to go out to fight. He must give Xianbei a head-on blow, and Bai Tangzhi fought with the army again as a supervisor. This time, Houxi bridge is bound to win.

In this battle, Xin Mo's silver-armored white horse was the vanguard, and Bai Tangzhi was in the rear as the backing. The Xianbei army was defeated and fled after the first battle. Xin Mo led the troops in pursuit and drove Xianbei hundreds of miles away.

Half a month later, Xin Mo joined forces with Bai Tangzhi to attack Xianbei again. Their intention was very clear. They must prevent the Xianbei tribe from invading the border. The battle of annihilation began for several months. Xianbei's army was out of ten. Xin Mo That's it.

After this battle, the border was no longer dangerous, and neighboring countries came to visit one after another, presenting rare treasures to Houxi Bridge to show their submission. Since then, the border has become a big trading place. There is a big war.

Later, a poet said: "Nine days are closed and the palace is opened, and the clothes of all nations worship the crown."
