Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 267: Passing the throne to Long Changyou

There was dead silence.

There was only the suppressed sobbing sounds of Shen Zhongshu and the Queen.

Jinyiwei quickly took over the guarding of the palace, and the commander of the imperial guards was replaced. Among them was a young boy who was discovered by Eshi and tied up.

The boy struggled hard.

"I went to the palace to play with my father."

Eshi touched the Xiuchun knife in his hand. The knife twitched, and half of the boy's hair fell off.

The boy was too frightened to move.

The hatred and unwillingness in his eyes gradually disappeared, revealing fear.

Eshi sat on the stool.

Holding the tea bowl in his hand, he was silent for a while.

Then he said:

"Who is your father? Why did he bring you to the palace to play at this time?"

The boy had a sad face and seemed frightened.

He sobbed and said his father's name, "I often come to the palace with my father. I have been here four or five times."

Eshi held the tea bowl and took a sip.

The water under the eaves dripped into puddles on the ground, and the dripping sound was drowned out by the sound of the boy's crying.

He put down the tea bowl and smiled:

"Don't cry. Just ask clearly. If you have the courage to enter the palace, why are you so useless?"

He asked someone to ask.

The little boy's face turned pale, he just said the name casually.

Not long after.

The person who went to question came back and said that Zhao Jian did have a son, but that son fell into an ice hole and died years ago.

"Are you sure he's dead?" The evil voice was as thick as an ice hole.

"He was completely dead. When we pulled him up, he was frozen into a block of ice."

Eshi looked at the rain and mist at the door, which fell on his body like mist. "It seems that this little thing is still a tough guy. Take him away and torture him."

"Ah... spare me. I came here with King Kang. I am..."

"Don't tell me you're the adopted son of Prince Kang. Prince Kang has several adopted sons and their names. We in the Imperial Guards have a record of them." Eshi pointed his finger and blocked the little boy's mouth.

It will only take a stick of incense to deliver it.

The visitor told the truth.

The little boy was Zhou Chengru's illegitimate son, named Zhou Wenyan. Before the Zhou family got into trouble, he was taken away by Zhou Wenyi.

Eshi frowned in disgust.

"How many illegitimate children does Zhou Chengru have? Why does one appear every once in a while? It never ends."

"I'm afraid this is the last one."

Eshi sipped his tea and said, "Lock him up first and tell Yao Tongzhi the news. Remember, don't let anyone die. This should be left to the commander to decide."

"Yes."

As the footsteps faded away.

Eshi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

They followed Shang Yan's people and finally could face those who looked down on them with dignity.

Taoist Priest Wu was dragged to the Golden Palace.

After some questioning.

He was able to defend himself at first with a proud attitude, but in the end he had already fallen to the ground. It turned out that Taoist Wu was a liar who was driven out of the Taoist sect.

He refused to change his bad habits and wanted to return to the Taoist sect in glory to bully his fellow disciples.

So he tried to make friends with high-ranking officials in the capital.

He was favored by King Kang.

Taoist Priest Wu knelt on the ground, no longer as energetic as before. A plain old man with a sly look in his eyes and eyebrows cried with snot and tears:

"Really, don't blame me. There's nothing wrong with my pills."

"There is nothing wrong with your pill, so why do you have to look for those young girls and take their heart blood as the medicine?" What Shang Yan hated most was killing others for a pill.

What kind of amazing medicine is this that even the herbs in heaven and earth are not enough to prepare?

What about the bugs?

The court officials heard it.

I was immediately dumbfounded.

"What? Using human heart blood?" The judge of the Imperial Hospital said hurriedly, "This is all nonsense. Besides, the elixir that Taoist Wu gave to Your Majesty clearly contains poisonous ingredients."

The Queen requested that Doctor Ke be invited.

Doctor Ke and Doctor Shen entered the palace together.

The two men gave the emperor acupuncture.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "The emperor should wake up, but it will only be a last gasp."

The queen calmed down.

All that matters is that the emperor wakes up.

An oral order would naturally make Shang Yan's conspiracies and tricks useless.

Shang Yan did not go back.

He asked Tongzhi Yao to send a message to Su Rutang, asking her not to worry.

The courtiers in the palace did not leave either.

The emperor was severely poisoned, and after being stimulated by acupuncture from Doctor Ke, he seemed to be in and out of consciousness.

There is a roar in my ears from time to time.

His body rose up lightly again, as if he was standing in the court and hearing everyone's words.

No one cared about him, his son or his queen.

Naturally, Shang Yan wouldn't care about him either.

Hearing Shang Yan mention the former Great Zhou and the current broken Great Zhou, he felt very uncomfortable, as if he saw the accusations of the Crown Prince Li.

I also saw the accusations from the ancestors of the Long family.

He lay on the pillow.

I'm actually afraid to go to the imperial tomb.

He once had a heart to govern the country, but when he tasted power, he actually forgot his original intention.

The emperor opened his eyes.

"The emperor has awakened." The queen knelt excitedly in front of the bed.

"emperor."

The courtiers all knelt on the ground.

Prince Kang and others have been controlled by Shang Yan, and the court officials who remain here are more or less perceptive.

Shang Yan stood aside coldly.

He was not afraid of the emperor waking up.

The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Shang Yan.

The Queen was furious:

"Someone come. Shang Yan has a wolfish ambition, quickly take him down."

"Come here." The emperor stared at Shang Yan.

Shang Yan walked over and sat on the ground. "Your Majesty."

"I'm sorry, my brother." The emperor reached out to hold Shang Yan's hand, "I'm afraid they will blame me."

Shang Yan's eyes were dark, "Your Majesty. Do you have anything else to say?"

"The throne is passed to Long Changyou."

The emperor looked at him and said, "The Great Zhou depends on you."

"Treat them well, treat them well..." The emperor still couldn't say it out loud. He hoped Shang Yan could treat his sons well.

Queen: "..."

"Your Majesty. No..."

Shen Zhongshu sat on the ground in a daze. The emperor actually knew Shang Yan's identity. He didn't know the conversation between the emperor and Shang Yan before he was poisoned.

I just felt cold all over.

Bo Luohui shed tears one after another, "The emperor has given a verbal order to pass the throne to Long Changyou."

"No..." The queen didn't believe it.

She stood up.

What should the Dou family do?

What about her prince?

She looked at the emperor in a trance, "Your Majesty. I am the queen, and I own half of the Great Zhou. Even if you don't give the throne to my son, you should pass it on to another prince.

After all, I am the Empress Dowager. Now... who am I? Hahahaha... Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart."

The queen laughed.

While walking outside, he reached the door.

She turned and looked at Shang Yan, "No matter who is the emperor, I am the empress dowager. I am the empress dowager."

Bo Luohui saw Shang Yan still sitting on the ground.

He quickly stood up and winked at the eunuch, asking them to send someone to escort the queen back to the palace.

All the princes breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the emperor's oral order.

The precarious Great Zhou.

Whoever takes over will be a sinner.

Letters were sent from the border, all of which were about various countries invading the Great Zhou.

Except Mobei.

Cities were lost in other places, and the cities near the Southern Kingdom lost the most. The defending general was beheaded by the Southern Kingdom general, and his head was hung on the city gate.

There were dozens of heads hung on the city gate to intimidate the people and soldiers on the border of the Great Zhou.

When the princes saw the letter, they were so frightened that they could not speak.

Most of the powerful generals of the Great Zhou have been killed in the past few years.

The treasury is empty.

How can a poor soldier fight a war?

The Minister of War entered the bedroom with a letter and said to Shang Yan who was sitting on the ground:

"Shang... I beg the new emperor to ascend the throne."

"what is that?"

"The letter sent by Jianzhou said that none of the deputy generals and commanders who defended the city survived. Even without food, they still defended the city gates. This bought time for the people to escape."

After the Minister of War said this, he could not help but burst into tears.

"It's not that they don't have the ability to resist the attack from the Southern Li Kingdom, they just can't. They don't have enough food and supplies, and their weapons are..."

As the Minister of War.

He knew that the defenders were useless with just flesh and blood.

Shang Yan closed his eyes.

Opened it again.

There was violence in his eyes.

"Inform all the people of the Great Zhou that I, Long Changyou, will ascend the throne today and lead the army in person tomorrow." Shang Yan knew that the Great Zhou lacked a leading general, so he wanted to take the Jinyiwei with him to the front line.

"Your Majesty." Bo Luohui hurried to stop him.

"Minister Bo, you are still the Minister. Su Rutang is my queen. From now on, all matters in the court will be decided by Queen Su." Shang Yan's words immediately made everyone oppose.

"Unbecoming of propriety."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

"This is against the rules."

Shang Yan raised the embroidered spring sword in his hand, "Who told me the rules? Let alone letting the queen rule the country, what's wrong with letting her sit on the throne?"

No one dared to speak.

Those people from the Censorate broke out in cold sweats.

For a moment, I was unsure whether I should hit the pillar.

Bo Luohui stood up.

"The emperor is going to lead the army in person, and the palace needs the queen to stabilize it. How about this... this old minister, together with Prince Cheng, Secretary Shen, Prince Anping and the queen, supervise the country together?"

"Well. Just as Bo Shizhong said."
