Qin Hu had a quarrel with Wang Yuying, and immediately went back to the study to write a letter, asking Bayana to leave for Shangjing in person and hand it over to his brother Su Dai.

"Tell Su Dai to persuade him, Mr. Su Wei, to protect Wang Shichong!"

On June 10, the ninth year of Emperor Yu's reign, Yang Shou led his army to the eastern capital and held a grand ceremony to worship heaven in the southern suburbs. There was a strong wind and the altar was overturned. Yang Shou was hit in the head by a broken flagpole and fell unconscious on the spot.

, the officials were so frightened that they lost their minds and were heartbroken.

The power of Dongdu immediately fell into the hands of Fan Zigai.

No one expected that such a change would suddenly occur. The imperial doctor came one after another, but the emperor showed no sign of waking up.

Because there were too many people present at the time, the news could not be blocked, and it quickly spread throughout the world. The already turbulent Yu Dynasty became more violent, and several rebel armies appeared even in the heart of the Central Plains.

House seemingly endless rain!

On the 12th, a locust plague broke out in Guanzhong. The locusts covered the sky and covered the sun. Wherever they went, even the trees were eaten away, and the people fell into a severe famine.

The demon monk Xiang Haiming of Fufeng County, only two hundred miles away from Chang'an, gathered 100,000 people to rebel. Prince Yang You sent Yang Yichen, the minister of Taipu Temple, to fight against him. However, he was ambushed by King Liu Miao, leader of the Xiongnu Jihu tribe, and was almost captured alive.

He was captured alive and escaped to heaven with only a dozen people.

Liu Jialun, the leader of the Yanjun rebels, formed an alliance with King Liu Miao. The two proclaimed themselves emperors at the same time, robbed and massacred people everywhere, and their troops gradually approached Chang'an.

The situation is extremely critical.

On the 20th, Empress Xiao and Prince Yang You of the Yu Dynasty came to the Eastern Capital.

Empress Xiao's chariot entered the Eastern Capital from Shangchun Gate.

Empress Xiao's original intention of coming here was to visit the emperor and stabilize the situation, but before she entered the city gate, she found that the situation was far more complicated and serious than she imagined.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, was built by the emperor at a cost of countless money and two million civilians. Its luxury and sturdiness were far superior to those of Beijing. It surrounded the city for ten miles with marble-inlaid floors and rows of green trees wrapped with silk, making it bright and brilliant.

The West Garden of the Luoyang Palace is surrounded by two hundred miles. There is an artificial sea inside, and in the sea there are three fairy mountains: Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou. Pavilions and pavilions are dotted on the mountains, just like the residences of gods.

Surrounding these three fairy mountains, there are also sixteen towering palaces, called the "Sixteen Courtyards" of the harem. Each courtyard has two to three hundred beauties, and is presided over by a Jieyu.

These other courtyards are luxuriously decorated, just like heaven. When Yang Shou is in a good mood, he will take turns accepting invitations from these sixteen courtyards to have banquets every day. Every time he goes to the banquet, he is surrounded by people, majestic and beautiful, and looks at beautiful women in cars.

Can't see beyond.

This was still her impression of Dongdu two years ago.

But just two years later, Dongdu had completely changed. Along the way, she saw dead bodies starving everywhere inside and outside the canal. The people she met were all ragged and disheveled, and those corpses

, some are rotten and some are fresh, and no one collects them at all.

Queen Xiao sat in the grand palace and couldn't help but feel angry. What does Henan Yin do for food?

In fact, Henan Yin Daxi's good intentions are very unjust, because now it is not his decision at all. Since the emperor fell into coma, Fan Zigai claimed to have followed the imperial decree and strictly investigated Yang Xuangan's remnants. Tens of thousands of armored troops were killing each other every day. When the people woke up in the morning

With a glance, you can see three to five thousand people being led to the bank of the canal and executed.

The Grand Canal in front of Queen Xiao had turned red, and there was an unpleasant smell of blood everywhere.

Although she was surrounded by all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, and her ears were filled with voices singing praises, she still sat in the carriage without saying a word.

Xiao Meiniang was born in the royal family of the Southern Dynasty. She had been used to the intrigues in the palace since she was a child. She was naturally sensitive to some things. She felt that something was wrong today.

"Meng Qi, inform all ministers to meet with me in Xiyuan."

Yu Shiji and Fan Zigai fell at the back of the team. When they were sure that there was no one around them, Yu Shiji immediately took out a letter and said to Fan Zigai: "The current situation is critical and has reached a point where there is no need to delay. As the saying goes, go first

If you strike first to gain advantage, then strike later and suffer disaster, it’s up to you to decide what to do.”

Fan Zigai said: "Master Yu, currently there are only 3,000 Xiaoguo troops stationed in the city out of 20,000. Sima Dekan is cowardly and incompetent. As long as he doesn't move, the rest will not matter."

After Yang Shou returned to Dongdu, the Liaodong Army disbanded on the spot under the city and returned to their respective stations. The Sixteen Guards Army originally had few standing troops. The men and horses trained by Qin Hu were also ordered to return to Shangjing, so the current Dongdu

Except for the Xiaoguo Army, almost all of the troops are under Fan Zigai's control.

When Fan Zigai opened the letter and read it, he frowned: "The King of Yue wants us to solve all obstacles on the spot in the Eastern Capital, and bring the prince and queen..."

"This time the queen brought the prince to visit the doctor. It was originally instigated by the King of Yue. His meaning is already very clear. Now it depends on whether you can make up your mind."

Fan Zigai hesitated: "What if the emperor wakes up?"

Yu Shiji chuckled: "If you want to do great things, don't look forward and backward. Look at how prosperous Qin Hu is now. You and I are nowhere in the eyes of the emperor. And Qin Hu is still in the prince's party. No matter what, we will not stand in the future."

It’s a place where if you die early or die late, it’s not just death.”

It's okay that Yu Shiji didn't mention Qin Hu, but when he mentioned Qin Hu, Fan Zigai's head hurt all over, and he gritted his teeth: "Then let's do it, lock Sima Dekan out, kill the prince and queen first, and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.

"

"That's right." Yu Shiji nodded: "Without further delay, immediately close all the city gates and launch operations in Xiyuan. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot."

"But you have to be famous. You can't kill all the ministers."

Yu Shiji had already thought about it and smiled sinisterly: "If the queen and the prince ask later why you massacred the people, just say it was under the emperor's secret order. If there is a dispute, accuse the queen and the prince of covering up.

Rebels, plotting rebellion, and then kill them."

"High, really high!" Fan Zigai was a martial artist with no strategy at all, but Yu Shiji was cunning and cunning, which often made him admire him very much.

Empress Xiao kept her beautiful big eyes tightly closed until she heard the sound of the city gate closing behind her, and then she slowly opened a crack. The light in her eyes was radiating, full of explosive power.
