MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 4v Whose love and invitation

At the end of September 372, Shen Tie also wrote a letter of support to Dige, what was different was that this time the letter was sent by Shen Tie Wang Tie Xingze himself.

Rulers of various countries and ethnic groups seldom come to Dige in person, but Tie Xingze is an exception. Because of his friendship with Gong Yin and Jing Hengbo, Jing Hengbo received him immediately.

In Jingting, Jing Hengbo finally knew what happened after Gong Yin and Tie Xingze lured Mo Jun away. Tie Xingze apologized repeatedly and said that he would fulfill his promise and give up Shen Tie's throne. Jing Hengbo just smiled, "He even Dige doesn't even want it, and Shen Tie naturally won't take it."

The news brought by Tie Xingze made her guess that Gong Yin probably never returned to Dige after leaving Shen Tie, and then she handed over the pearl to Emerald Queen first, and asked her to send someone to hold the pearl in Dahuang The tribes of the northern kingdoms searched for it.

She enthusiastically persuaded Tie Xingze to stay in Dige for a few more days, and Tie Xingze agreed. He still lived in his original proton mansion, lived in seclusion, and was cautious in his words and deeds. Jing Hengbo had been thinking about whether to bring Zi Rui over. , get together with Tie Xingze?

It's just that she's busy. After she took over the political affairs, she carried out a big change in the courtiers. First, she opened the doors of admonishment widely to listen to the comments of the people of Dige on the rich and nobles, and then immediately removed and replaced them in a big way based on those comments that were verified to be true. This move touched the interests of many powerful and powerful families, and immediately caused a huge backlash from the courtiers. In the past few days, the lights of the Zanying mansions were secretive, the personnel came and went secretly, and the private communication was endless. The atmosphere was weird, all the officials were panicked, and the atmosphere in the court was tense, but Jing Hengbo didn't seem to feel it at all. He forced when he should be forced, withdrew when he should be withdrawn, and changed when he should be replaced. .

The queen's high-handedness and cruelty made the officials uneasy and dissatisfied. Because of the Dige incident, the officials themselves did not accept the queen enough. At this time, they feel that a resentful queen must not be allowed to rule the wilderness, otherwise, everyone will die sooner or later No burial place.

This winter passed like this, and many courtiers have not been able to live well for several years. On New Year's Eve, Her Majesty the Queen ordered that the homes of three wealthy families be confiscated.

The big lights flickered, illuminating the group of crying criminals who were escorted out of the house. The ministers living in Gongdefang and Xigefang listened to the endless crying and the sound of ransacking their homes all night, and faced the table full of delicacies, their faces were gloomy. The children did not dare to celebrate the festival anymore, and they were hugged tightly by their mothers, trembling with fear Listening to the wailing and commotion in the distance, the sound of firecrackers in the poor houses far away, paper flowers all over the dark alleys, at this moment only commoners can enjoy the New Year in peace, at this moment all the nobles of Dige are unable to eat. Listening to the crying from the other door is like listening to your own death knell.

At the moment, the queen is alone in the hall, closing the door, refusing all companionship, and slowly filling two wine glasses to the table full of New Year's Eve dinner.

"We've only been together for a year."

"You're not here, so it's going to be like this this year. It's better to hear crying than laughing."

"The next new year, the next new year, and every new year after your life, you must spend it with me."

"Just wait a little longer, it will be soon. It will be soon."

The sound of the wine falling into the glass is clear, and a silver light hangs slowly, like the past being elongated in the years, filtering away the sadness, leaving a touch of bitter and spicy life.

Another year.

In the spring of 373, after a frightening winter, secret discussions and rumors began to budge from the soil of Dige. Most of these rumors are not good for the Queen. There's something about the Queen's parentage, like she's from a brothel. There is something about the queen's improper position, for example, she used her beauty to confuse Gong Yin and all the generals under her command. Regarding the secrets of the current royal family, it is said that nothing happened to Gong Yin, nor did he sell the country, but introduced the queen's full strength into Dige, and then wiped out everything.

Especially the last kind of rumors made everyone even more excited. Under the seemingly calm appearance of the Dige giants, there was a turbulent undercurrent, rushing with shiny and mysterious waves.

The people around Jing Hengbo, except for Pei Shu, who is the master of all things, are quite worried, and those old officials are admonishing him every day, urging Jing Hengbo to take it easy and comfort him first, and not to act too hastily, so as not to Caused turmoil in Dige.

"Joke. How dare they? Didn't you see that Dige's army is in my hands?" the Queen replied.

The ministers shook their heads and sighed, muttering in their hearts that the queen was too arrogant and frivolous after winning, but they dared not say any more.

Such conversations gradually spread, and the uneasy courtiers became more uneasy, and their private actions became more frequent. Jing Hengbo didn't care about it, and he didn't control it. The law and order in Dige was becoming more and more peaceful. He also ordered the opening of the curfew of Dige, and the control of officials in the DPRK and China was gradually relaxed.

Afterwards, several not-so-major incidents happened in Dige one after another. Several generals of Yuzhao Dragon Riders clashed with the lieutenant generals of Kanglong Army. After a fight, they were locked up by their respective chiefs. The several competing chaebols of Dige suddenly turned their fighting into jade and formed a chamber of commerce alliance. The commander of the Kanglong Army is always here and so on.

These things seem to have nothing to do with the government, so no one has noticed that many of the nobles and rich families of Dige have recently sent out their direct descendants to do business and study, and have left Dige.

Naturally, such a small matter will not disturb the Queen. There are gradually rumors in the palace that Her Majesty has recently become obsessed with the things in the cup, often drinking heavily, and getting drunk every night in Yuzhao Palace. Round objects, or climbed to the swing frame in the bedroom to swing, the higher and higher the swing, the height was shockingly high, once she let go, the person suddenly disappeared, and the next moment she heard the sound of the window breaking, she lay on the ground in the quiet courtyard. On the table in Yuan Guoshi's study.

There have been many such things, and rumors have come out, saying that the emperor's song was originally handed over by the original national teacher. Although the national teacher expelled the queen at the beginning, he still has deep thoughts in his heart. But she wasn't focused on capturing the Emperor's Song, she just wanted to go back to the past with the Imperial Teacher. Now that she returned to the Emperor's Song, the Imperial Teacher left.

This news is infinitely close to the truth. Some people are pleasantly surprised and some are worried, but no matter how others are happy, surprised, scheming, or thinking, the queen still does her own way, and the government is becoming more and more harsh and tyrannical. Jing Ting got drunk in Yuzhao Palace tomorrow night and then got drunk on Miyagi in the evening, laughing at the three flag poles, and the ministers who came over after hearing the news pointed at their superiors, and the old ministers knelt down and begged the queen to return to the palace. , more people hid in the dark, gloomy eyes flickering.

But the Queen lay still, looking up at the three flagpoles under the starry sky. The flag of the founding queen fluttered as before. Her own Queen's flag was not replaced with a new one. It was really a red flag that had been mended and mended from the old flag. The last hideous fork can be regarded as the ugliest Queen's Banner in history.

And the flagpole belonging to Gong Yin didn't have a new flag, so it was still empty.

When everyone thought about it, there was no need to raise that flag again, and the flagpole would be cut off sooner or later. No one knew that the flag had already been prepared, even the pattern had been designed, and it was hidden deep in the warehouse of Yuzhao Palace, but the time for it to fly in the wind had not yet arrived.

Jing Hengbo was lying on the cold green brick floor, looking up at the empty flagpole, but the frame of the flag she designed by herself fluttered in front of her eyes. Only that flag is full of her hopes, telling her and Da Huang how to be truly fulfilled.

Just as she is holding the wine pot at this moment, leaning against the city wall, looking at the Emperor Song with stars and lights below, and then extending far from the Emperor Song, on the other side of the mountains and swamps, there are the Xiangguo, the Ministry of Gold, the Turtle, and the Emerald who have already surrendered. , Yi Guo... and the territories of those countries and tribes that have not been fulfilled, the sum of those mountains and swamps is the world.

There were footsteps behind him, the footsteps were heavy, it was Pei Shu. Now, among the confidants around him, only Pei Shu is willing to drag this elusive drunk every day. Although he curses harder than anyone else and is so irritable that he wants to break her head for the first time, in the end, it is still him. last the longest.

A pair of powerful arms stretched out, dragged her up, and skillfully locked her legs so that she wouldn't know which corner she was going to.

Pei Shu frowned, and held her tightly under his armpit—the last time he accidentally ran away from her, and finally found her hanging upside down on the roof of the women's toilet where the maids of Yuzhao Palace lived after searching half of the palace. On half of the low wall, facing the latrine, she vomited, and when he dragged her down, she smiled drunkenly, "This pit is so good, so big, and so convenient!"

Thinking of that night under the starlight, Jing Hengbo, who smelled of alcohol and stench, was pale and red-eyed, and then thought of the lazy and gorgeous Jing Hengbo who was always beautiful and clean like jade, Pei Shu His fingers couldn't help pinching and pinching.

After holding back for a long time, he said, "Did you drink less today? I have something to tell you..."

Before he finished speaking, he put a heavy weight on his arm, and looked down, Jing Hengbo's head was resting on his arm, his eyelashes drooped thickly, and his breath exuded a strong smell of alcohol.

she fell asleep.

Pei Shu stared at her for a long time, only to sigh, turned her on his back, carried her back to the palace, and then hurried back to his mansion, Jing Hengbo had already given him the mansion of Prime Minister Yuan Li.

With Pei Shu's temperament, he would rather live in the palace and take care of her, but now the city is full of storms, and there are endless criticisms against the queen. There are many rumors implying that the queen won the world by capturing famous generals through women's sex. Pei Shu doesn't care if he is said to be greedy for women Color, but not vision Hengbo clean pollution.

The palace was silent in the night, the lights were not on, and the people were low. Pei Shu sent Jing Hengbo all the way into the bedroom, but he didn't see a guard. He frowned and threw Jing Hengbo on the couch. He was going to find Yingbai. He took good care of the guards in the palace, when suddenly Jing Hengbo turned over on the couch and stretched out his hand to hold him.

Pei Shu froze.

For a moment, my heart beat so hard that it seemed to jump out of my throat.

The door of the hall was open, and the midnight cool breeze came in uninvited. It was clear that the bone-chilling cold made people sober, but his mind was suddenly in a mess.

What is she doing holding him at this moment?

Is it because of the fragility of drunkenness?

Do you need someone to comfort you?

Are you treating him as Gong Yin?

Even though his back was facing her, he could feel her slender fingers, like a flower leaf, softly resting on the corner of his clothes, under the moonlight, her posture was as quiet as a newly bloomed epiphyllum.

Feeling her shortness of breath, the sweetness of the wine and her fragrance spread out in the air.

She could feel a murmur in her throat, very low, like a midsummer night, a whisper in a dream.

Her body was tense, so her senses were extraordinarily sensitive. Her breathing, her movements, and her whispers all seemed to be gentle invitations, echoing his deepest desire—he longed to be close to her for too long, too long.

Pei Shu turned around slowly.

Under the moonlight, the woman was reclined on the couch, half of her body restlessly leaned out of the couch, her long hair fell to the ground, and the luster under the moonlight rippled like black silk.

He suddenly wanted to caress her hair and really get close to her fragrance. Since we met, she has always laughed and played like a sister, eliminating all ambiguous and sprouting laughter. He has never had the opportunity to approach her calmly, with an admiration for her man's identity.

He slowly half-kneeled by the side of the couch, stretched out his hand, and slowly stroked her hair. The tentacles were soft and smooth, and her slightly curly long hair had a strange ups and downs, just like his mood at the moment.

She didn't respond, she was still muttering something, he stared at her half exposed forehead for a long time, brushed her bangs, and slowly leaned towards her.

Two inches away, just a touch of red lips, bright and deep red, stained with wine and crystal clear, like roses dripping dew in the morning.

Then he heard what she was saying.

"... Potian is coming soon, just these two days... gave me a letter, you go and pick it up... Pick it up..."

As if cold water was poured down suddenly, he actually trembled all over. This moment, he was very close, but he could only feel the heat of her breath spraying on his face, and he himself stopped breathing suddenly.

The fingers holding her hair trembled slightly, almost tearing her hair off, but he suddenly withdrew his hands and stood up abruptly.

Jing Hengbo didn't notice it, and was still muttering in a low voice. The woman's figure was beautiful under the moonlight, but he didn't want to see or hear it anymore.

The wind blows over the walls of the palace, the moon fills the cold windows, silver falls all over the palace, and the whole color of frost spreads from the entrance of the palace to the feet, as if snow has fallen all over the ground.

His figure was long and black behind him, and the world seemed to be only black and white.

Surrounded by silence, the woman's drunken muttering made the empty palace even more unbearably lonely and desolate.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps came suddenly, fast and crisp, and went all the way away.

Never hesitated to stay.

The palace lantern under the corridor was blown by the fast-moving wind, casting a light and shadow on the couch.

The person on the couch had long hair hanging down, motionless.

…

It's the night when a fast horse breaks the silent street of Dige. Go all the way out of the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city wanted to stop him, not everyone could leave the city in the middle of the night, but the token thrown at him made him shut up immediately. He hurriedly opened the city gate, and respectfully watched the dozen or so flying horses go away.

"It's the middle of the night, what is Young Marshal Pei going to do in such a hurry?"

When the cold wind blew, the soldier shivered, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "This day, it's cold in spring, and it seems to be snowing..."

…

Pei Shu went out of the city and didn't come back that day, but on the next night, when the soldier was ready to go to duty at the full hour, he suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground. This familiar vibration made him startled, so he ran away Going up to the top of the city, first look outside, the dark plain is silent, then look back inside the city, and suddenly see half of the city lights.

Half of the Dige East City is where all the ministers and nobles live, all the government offices, and the Dige Center where the Yuzhao Palace is located. Now the streets that should have been dark were filled with flowing flames. The flames suddenly lit up from somewhere and flowed in one direction, and the center of convergence was Yuzhao Palace!

The soldier was so startled that he almost fell down—this appearance is almost exactly the same as the Emperor Song Palace Mutiny that expelled the queen more than two years ago!

No, it's not the same, this time the scale is bigger and there are more people, and it's obviously not a peaceful petition, because the wind brought the smell of iron and blood, the neighing of horses, the shouts of people, and the sound of metal weapons colliding .

Looking at the west of the city, there is also a large blurred white torrent flowing forward, but the speed is obviously not as good as that in the east of the city, and it seems to be blocked by something. In the streets of Dige, where horses can pass, there are black crowds. , Like iron nails, nailed to the main roads leading to Yuzhao Palace, it is bound to break the feet of the cavalry who rushed forward.

The east of the city is the garrison of the Kanglong Army, and the west of the city is the Yuzhao Dragonriders! Inside and outside Yuzhao Palace is the Henghalberd Army.

The soldier stared blankly at Emperor Ge, who had turned into a mess in an instant, looked at the lights of the noble mansions in the east of the city's Gongde Square and the west song square, and then turned his head to look at the cold and dark outside the city, and suddenly understood —Di Ge, reversed!

On the ninth day of March in 373, civil strife broke out in Dige City. This was the first time in the history of the Great Wilderness that there were no foreign enemies. The internal riots of Dige were also the first time in the history of the Great Wilderness that the riots were organized by the nobles of Dige.

That night, the wealthy family headed by the Xuanyuan family and the thirty-seven families of the court officials took advantage of the opportunity when Pei Shu, the commander of the Hengji Army, was out of the city, and Ying Bai, the commander of the Yuzhao Dragon Rider, was going to the Jade Department due to an incident. , the Kanglong Army was responsible for intercepting the Yuzhao Dragonriders who came to the rescue, and the remaining 20,000 private troops launched an attack on the Hengji Army stationed inside and outside the Yuzhao Palace, approaching the Yuzhao Palace.

The rebels claimed that the queen was tyrannical, disregarding human life, causing chaos in the court, and causing great harm to the wilderness. They must be deposed and executed immediately. They commanded a secret alliance of private troops and launched a whole night attack on Yuzhao Palace.

Due to the limited area around the palace city, the Halberd Army only has 10,000 troops stationed in the city, which is enough to defend the imperial city, but it is a bit difficult to deal with the sudden rebels. Moreover, these powerful nobles are well aware of the situation in the palace and have bribed a lot Palace people, after a night of fierce fighting, when countless corpses were laid across the square again, and the blood stained the white marble floor red, there was a sudden loud bang, and when everyone looked back, they saw the crimson palace door slowly opening, and a ray of morning sunlight came between the two doors. Between the huge red doors, a huge fan was slowly opened.

Behind that ray of sunshine, standing in the shadows, were a few palace servants with timid expressions. Facing the menacing rebels, he showed a flattering smile of survival.

On the tenth day of March in 373, the palace people secretly opened the palace gate to welcome the rebels, and Yuzhao Palace was broken.
