Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 617 The Demon Empress
The snow fell and stopped again.

The weather is always like this, it's unbelievably cold.

Sometimes it rains.

In previous years, Xiguo would wear at most two pieces of clothing in winter.

A close-fitting robe inside, and a terry cloak outside.

Especially the robes and cloaks made by the Yin family, the colors are extremely beautiful, the inside and outside are matched together, the wind brings wind when walking, and the men wear them extremely handsomely.

Women's dresses are more complicated, but they are always gorgeous and bright.

The country of Xi after the war, the country of Xi after the disaster, is still prosperous.

At least Xicheng is still like this.

Xicheng is flat, located at the confluence of rivers, and the land is fertile.

The businessmen in the city are very lively, and the best business recently is food.

Food is getting more and more expensive, at first several times, then ten times, and now I don't know where it has soared.

Followed by thick clothes.

This winter is too cold, and the thick cotton coats that were not popular in previous years are selling very well this year.

Even though I watched Chao Kaichun go, the sky did not heat up.

In addition to the thicker clothes, the atmosphere in Xicheng has become weird recently.

It was no secret that Emperor Xi disappeared.

The people of Xi know it, the people of Shen know it, and the people of Jing know it.

At the same time, there are new folk legends, saying that the current Queen Xiguo is the real demon queen.

She sank into Shenghu Lake without dying. She grew up in a den of bandits. The place where she grew up was piled up with human skulls. She was originally the real princess of Xiguo. Why was she sank into Shenghu Lake back then? Knowing that she is the source of disaster, but she doesn't want to be alive now, she is alive, everyone around her will die, just like the first day she and the emperor got married, the emperor passed away, and now the emperor is also missing, the queen mother hides behind the emperor Mausoleum, the Demon Empress is here, and the Kingdom of Xi is dead... At first, such slogans were only heard sporadically, but then they became more and more fluent.

More and more people are talking about it, and it seems that if you have time to curse like this, the year will be better.

This is folklore.

In the court, it is naturally impossible to use these rumors to make things up.

So I had to get something else.

Regarding the matter of finding the emperor, except for the queen, the others probably have no expectations and have already accepted it.

The current matter is over, the throne is empty, what should I do?
Generally speaking, everyone receives the same education. Although they usually fight for power and profit, there is no attempt to usurp the throne.

Even when Yin Jun was at the peak of his power, he was encouraged by his staff, but he never thought of doing this step.

After all, if the name is not right, what will happen after usurping the throne?If you usurp others, someone else will usurp your position.

Always like this, the world is in chaos.

Life is charcoal.

Of course, Yin Jun is not a person who cares about the country and the people. He is essentially a businessman, and he pays more attention to gains and losses.

He saw that seeking to usurp the throne was not the most profitable way, so he never thought about it.

But now, the situation suddenly became like this.

It was too easy. The emperor disappeared and the demon queen was harmed. Such news was laid out in the sun, like a shimmering, sweet fruit lying on the ground, waiting for someone to bend down to pick it up.

Yes, just waiting for someone to pick it up.

But at this moment, there are vicious dogs staring outside the fruit orchard.

At the top level, this is probably the case.

I heard that the queen has often met with her elder brothers in the past few days, and also went to the imperial mausoleum to meet the queen mother.

But the time is not long.

The queen should be very capable, this is something that the courtiers recognize, because there are many women in the harem, and the emperor disappeared, but during this time, the harem was quiet, no major incidents happened, no one was heard of being killed by a stick, and no one heard of it. Someone throws a well and disappears, etc.

As for the court, there seemed to be no change, except that the emperor's dragon chair was vacant, everything was operating as usual.

Just because nothing has changed, there is a reason.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can the queen give orders, and the cholera court is in charge.

Although everyone knew something about it before, but at that time, after all, the emperor was covering it up.

Now the emperor is gone...

Therefore, something is destined to happen in the early morning when the snow melts this day.

However, no one expected that things would become like this after that...

When the incident came, in the past few days, everyone would sympathize and persuade, mourning or something.

You can grieve, but not really just grieve, because everything goes on.

In the early morning court, Empress Shenyou wore a phoenix robe, walked up to the court hall alone, and took her seat.

Her collar is not as neat as usual, and there is a thread at the corner of the dress, which is playfully raised. If it was before, a man would try to smooth it out. The man's attention was only on the raised thread, and followed She, rambling.

there's no more.

She looked calm and beautiful, and sat down in her place.

The courtiers began to speak, their voices grew louder, and the queen seemed to be distracted sometimes.

Let those impassioned courtiers feel a little frustrated, and lose their temper when they get angry.

"A country cannot live without a king..."

"The cock that raises the morning is the source of disaster for the country..."

"Xi Kingdom has no successors, and it is the prime minister of a subjugated country..."

Several old ministers quoted scriptures and said clearly and logically.

And Yin Jun is mature and prudent, occasionally nodding to cooperate.

God Bless sat quietly and watched these people perform.

They are a bit similar to the villagers in the White Bone Village Conference back then, but also a bit different.

The villagers have the cunning of the villagers, and they are small cunning. In order to achieve their goals, they will also beat around the bush and make detours. However, this kind of detour is always ridiculous, and people can see through the purpose at a glance.

I concealed it for a while, and then laughed to myself, and said what I wanted frankly.

Then, for what they wanted, they quarreled like hell.

Very lively.

The same is probably true of these people in front of them.

At that time, Shenyou was sitting on a high chair, his two feet were dangling, and the little claw on his head was dangling like a flower.

Now, her feet are firmly on the ground, her hair is neatly combed, and there is a bead curtain on the phoenix crown, which can be shaken.

All have spoken.

His eyes fell on Yin Jun.

Probably at this moment, Yin Jun, who is still No. 1 in the imperial court, should publish a summary Cheng Ci.

In the next court, there will be some changes.

Everyone knows that some people look forward to it, some people fear it, and some people don't care.

During this period of time, Yin Kezhou had a lot of time to think.

His brother's death made him very sad.

They are brothers like father and son, and they have a very good relationship.

He is also very angry.

He has always been known for his resourcefulness, and he failed in the siege on the outskirts of the wilderness.

Because I didn't expect Manhuang, who had a blood feud with Jing Jun, to let Jing Jun pass through Manhuang safely.

He originally wanted to pick up a tired army, but he didn't want to meet a Jing army who urgently needed to vent his sorrow, like a wounded beast eager to return to its nest.

So he failed miserably and lost a lot.

This disastrous defeat made him act a little timidly, but the times are not good, and he always has to fight for things, and if he does not advance, he will retreat.

This time, he lost again.

The world is like a big net, covering them, and they don't know how to break free.

It was not Yin Kezhou's order to shoot the arrow in the back of Emperor Xi, because for him at present, it is better for the country of Xi to be stable.

However, such a result has already been caused, maybe it is the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager Zhao, but even if they knew it was a conspiracy, people like Xiguo Chaotang still showed a hideous face.

They don't care about beating the wolves outside the door, but fight for the meat in front of each other inside the door, eat it in their mouths first, and then they talk. For this reason, they must beat each other, it must be like this...

"Shen Guo's army is staring at it, and Jing's army has regrouped. Now the foreign enemy is stalking, like a pack of wolves, but our country cannot be without a king for a day, a group of dragons without a leader, and internal anxiety. Why is the outside world the most important thing? The throne cannot be left vacant .” Yin Kezhou expressed his opinion word for word.

Yin Jun, the most powerful man in the court, finally spoke.

Those courtiers looked excited, and they finally moved and changed.

The country of Xi has been stable for too long, perhaps it will be better if it is replaced by someone in charge.

At this moment, they were extremely excited. They didn't go to the battlefield, and they didn't see that during a war, people would die with a knife.

I have not seen the tragic death of other people's wives and daughters during the war, often naked and naked.

When war comes, there is no etiquette, no shame.

Finally, the queen who had been calm for a long time spoke.

The queen's temper is not very good, this is something that all the courtiers are aware of, it is said that the emperor is still a little bit afraid of guilt, there are so many women in the harem, and none of them are favored now.

"The emperor's personal conquest, he disappeared, is the war over?" asked the woman sitting at the top of the court hall.

The courtiers were stunned, and the quick-witted courtiers realized that what they were talking about now was about the throne, not about war. The queen was just changing the subject, and when she was about to argue, a beautiful vase fell down.

It fell among the courtiers, the vase was broken, and the broken porcelain pieces flew around.

The corners of the courtiers' eyes twitched, and they all avoided it for fear of being hit.
