As soon as Linghu Xingda followed Yang Guang into the inner hall, several forbidden soldiers rushed out from beside him and caught him.

Thinking of what happened in the court just now, Linghu Xingda was frightened and uneasy. He hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what mistake did I make? Why did you arrest me?"

He didn't say a word in the court today, and he didn't say anything when he came here. How could he offend the emperor?

Yang Guang looked at him, his eyes were red, and his face was full of anger. The scene of being strangled to death by Linghu Xingda in his previous life was still vivid in his mind. Every night after his rebirth, he would have nightmares. Even during the day, he would

You will suddenly feel suffocated and your neck will hurt terribly.

Those rebellious officials and traitors actually dare to kill the king!

I trusted them so much, but they betrayed me, damn it!

Damn!!!

"Linghu Xingda intends to assassinate me. He must be punished for his crime. Pull him down and behead him."

"Your Majesty...well..."

Just like that, before Linghu Xingda could defend himself, he was gagged, pulled out and beheaded, without even keeping a complete body.

Within half an hour, three ministers were killed in a row. Queen Xiao heard the news and rushed over: "Your Majesty, what happened to you today?"

Yang Guang shifted his gaze from the mirror to Empress Xiao, with a stern expression on his face: "Huh, there are always villains who want to harm me. I want to warn them that this country is my country, and I am the master of this world.

"Everyone in the world should listen to me. If anyone dares to betray me, I will let him see the King of Hell."

Queen Xiao was speechless for a moment, looking at Yang Guang who was full of murderous intent at this moment, she felt inexplicably scared, His Majesty really... his temperament changed drastically.

At this time, several palace maids came in and said, "Your Majesty, this is something sent by the officials along the coast. Please take a look."

Sigong Wei presented a gift list with both hands, and the eunuch chief Deshun took the gift list and handed it to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang first glanced at Mrs. Wei, and then looked at the gift list. After a quick glance, he threw the gift list heavily at Mrs. Wei: "How did you do this? Why don't you have what I ordered?"

Wei was a little confused as she held her injured arm, which was clearly on top, "Your Majesty..."

"How dare you argue? If you can't handle such a small thing, what's the use of raising you?" Yang Guang was furious: "Come here, drag her down and kill her."

Yu Wenhua and the other three people were beheaded or heard from others. Now that she saw Yang Guang killing people with her own eyes, Empress Xiao felt that Yang Guang was exuding an aura of violence that she had never seen before. It was a summons from the God of Death, which made people breathless.

Come.

Empress Xiao was very puzzled. A few days ago, she was looking at a nice person, watching the sunset and admiring the moon with her, and enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although he was often distracted these days and talked less, but... why did it become like this?

Where is it?

Empress Xiao couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Your Majesty, the Wei family has always been respected by you. Today is just a small mistake. Why do you want to kill her?"

Yang Guang snorted coldly: "What's the use of keeping something if you eat it inside and outside?"

Queen Xiao became even more confused after hearing this.

She didn't know that in her previous life, it was the Wei family who opened the door of the East Pavilion and let the coup troops enter the East Pavilion, which led to Yang Guang's death at the hands of Linghu Xingda...

Yang Guang's eyes turned to the two palace maids who followed Wei in, "You two..."

As soon as the two palace ladies heard Yang Guang's voice, they were so frightened that they trembled all over and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me..."

There was a very familiar voice, and Yang Guang ordered them: "Raise your heads."

The two men raised their heads uneasily, looking at their noses and hearts, not daring to look directly at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang recognized the palace maid on the left. She was the palace maid who reported to him in the previous life that everyone in the world was rebelling but was killed by him.

Now that I think about it, this was a palace maid who was loyal to her master. She died so unjustly in her previous life.

"What's your name?" Yang Guang asked, pointing to the maid on the left.

The palace maid replied: "My name is Xiang Tao."

"From today on, you will be waiting by my side." Yang Guangda waved his hand, "You go down first."

Empress Xiao looked at Xiang Tao. She had a mediocre face and average demeanor. I wonder what Yang Guang saw in her?

There were too many things that happened to Yang Guang today that puzzled her. She didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

After a while, a forbidden soldier reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Duke Xu has passed away."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he ordered: "Send the order and set off back to Luoyang immediately..."

***

Pei Qantong saw Yuan Min, the internal historian, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Yuanshe, why did your Majesty suddenly order you to return to Luoyang?"

He thought that Yuan Min was a close official around Yang Guang and should know something about the inside story, but Yuan Min also looked confused: "I just heard the news and was feeling puzzled.

"You said that His Majesty likes to go to Jiangdu the most. When he first went to Jiangdu, General Zhao objected, and His Majesty threw him into prison. Ren Zong, Cui Minxiang, and Wang Airen tried to persuade him one after another, but all of them lost their heads.

"But now, halfway through the trip, His Majesty suddenly ordered us to return to Luoyang. It's really confusing."

Pei Qantong nodded, feeling equally confused and uneasy: "Yes, I heard that His Majesty just issued an order to release General Zhao and restore him to his original position. Su Wei has also been reinstated."

In the past, this would have angered the emperor. He was removed from office and demoted to a commoner, and was thrown into prison. He would never be able to recover. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen today. It is really puzzling.

Yuan Min thought for a while, "Perhaps it was because Xu Guogong knew that his eldest son had been beheaded, his condition worsened, and he died suddenly. Your Majesty has always trusted Xu Guogong. When he passed away, he should return to Luoyang to hold the funeral."

Maybe... maybe that's true, but Pei Qantong always felt that something was wrong.

**

Although they won a victory and killed Sui general Pan Changwen, the city wall of Taiyuan was not as thick as usual. Zhen Zhai'er launched several attacks but failed to capture Taiyuan.

Zhen Zhai'er was unwilling to give in and led tens of thousands of people around the outskirts of Taiyuan all day long, looting from time to time, causing panic among the surrounding people and seriously threatening the safety of Taiyuan.

After wandering around for some time, Zhen Zhaier suddenly retreated and returned to the base camp to recuperate.

On this day, Zhen Zhai'er and Wei Dao'er discussed countermeasures and prepared to launch another attack on Taiyuan.

The army has been assembled, and Wei Dao'er is making final explanations to Zhen Zhai'er.

And Wang Yu looked at the densely packed soldiers, and a sense of sadness suddenly rose in his heart. How many people will be able to come back alive in the end? How many families will lose their sons, husbands, and fathers?

At some point, Zhen Zhai'er walked up to her and looked at her with a smile but not a smile: "Young man from the Yuan family, I'll treat you to a nice meal when this general comes back."

Wang Yu subconsciously took a step back and smiled at him, but the smile looked very awkward. She chuckled and said duplicitously: "I wish General Zhen success and victory."

Although the smile was a little forced, the words she said were still pleasant to the ears. Zhen Zhaier looked at her with satisfaction, turned around and mounted her horse.

"Bang."

For some unknown reason, the usually majestic General Zhen actually fell to the ground when he was mounting his horse, with his feet in the air. It was very funny.

Wang Yu couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud: "Ah haha..."

When she smiled, the people next to her also laughed.

Especially Wei Dao'er, who had disliked Zhen Zhai'er recently, laughed out loud without any politeness.

Mr. Liu smiled low-key, but he couldn't close the corners of his mouth.

He fell down inexplicably and in front of the army. Zhen Zhai felt that he, the coach, had lost face and was really embarrassed.

Zhen Zhai felt that his face was red and hot at this moment, so she quickly got up, ignoring the dust on her clothes, and shouted at the soldiers: "Why are you laughing? Shut up."

The soldiers immediately shut their mouths.

Wang Yu immediately put away his smile, looked serious, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Mr. Liu came out to smooth things over: "Okay, General Zhen, let's go. I'll just wait for the general's good news."

Zhen Zhai'er held the reins in his hand and scanned the ground carefully, but found no lubricants such as oil on the ground. He quietly stamped his feet to make sure the ground was not slippery, and then jumped onto the horse's back with a "clop".

Only when he sat firmly on the horse did he feel at ease.

Zhen Zhai'er suddenly glanced at Wang Yu, and then said to Wei Dao'er: "Chief, since the boy from the Yuan family came to our military camp, our power has continued to grow. This boy is our lucky star. Let him come with me today.

Let's take Taiyuan. With him here, I believe we can capture Taiyuan soon.

"I think we failed to capture Taiyuan last time because the boy from the Yuan family did not join the army."
