Chapter 91 Forced to fight back
Empress Dowager Zhao was detained for twenty years. What could she have learned? When she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Who wants to harm us?"
"A minister, who encouraged the 100,000 soldiers from Daming Mansion to enter the capital. You must know that they are all confidants of the late emperor. No one can tell what they will do."
Chen Shou looked worried and said angrily: "It's a pity that these traitors are bullying His Majesty for being young, and they deserve to die!"
Queen Mother Zhao stretched out her hand and looked at Chen Shou, "What can we know about our orphans and widows? The great affairs of the court depend on you. Chen Shou, you are somewhat reciting Xiaozhi's affection to help my son."
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I am so confused and I will never refuse!"
"So, I'll feel relieved."
Chen Shou clapped his hands, and several eunuchs came in with difficulty. Chen Shou smiled and said, "Wei Chen has prepared some small gifts for the Empress Dowager."
"You are intent." Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and asked someone to take her to the back.
In Kunning Palace, after chatting for a few words, Empress Dowager Zhao reluctantly sent Chen Shou away.
"Sir, are you still going to see Your Majesty?" Zhao Hong asked.
Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "There is no need, it only adds to his worries."
Now he has no energy to settle a little emperor. He guided the country in the palace and was full of energy. He thought that all the world was the kingdom, and once he was crowned, he would be the lord of all people. However, he knew that this world was no longer his Zhao family.
After returning to the water pavilion, the guard who went to Shao Xiaoxinzi had already returned, holding a list in his hand. There was still some blood on it.
Chen Shou didn't have to think about it, he knew that this was from that little eunuch, and it seemed that he had been tortured.
"Give this list to Yuan Xiannian, and ask him to capture people according to the list, demote them all to common people, confiscate their property, and expel them from the capital."

Qin Rong, Zhongtiao Mountain.
Yue Peng and a few people explored the way in the mountains.
Suddenly, the war horse under his crotch neighed and several bamboo poles shot rapidly.
Yue Peng turned sideways on the horse's back, waving and avoiding it, with a thin blood mark on his cheek.
The person behind him quickly drew his sword in his hand, and Yue Peng said in a deep voice: "Sir, it's true that there are thieves here, brothers, be careful!"
A cavalry took out a bamboo tube from his arms, lit it, and then rushed to the sky, reporting the fireworks to the sky.
A group of thieves suddenly rushed out of the forest. They were dressed in various clothes, and their weapons were relatively regular, all of which were simple swords.
"Take the horses with conscious knowledge, take off your clothes, and surround you without dying!" a thief shouted arrogantly.
Yue Peng didn't answer, looked at them coldly, and squeezed out three words from his mouth: "Bai...Lian...Teaching..."
The thief was discovered through his identity and was a little surprised and shouted, "Who are you!"
Yue Peng was originally a gentry family in Hedong. He had only Yutian. After he believed in the White Lotus Sect, his family was increasingly poor.
I wanted to leave with peace of mind, but who knew that as soon as I asked, my younger sister was killed by them. My father and brother were even beaten to death, and only he survived and crawled out of the pile of dead people in Hedong.
He knew very well about the White Lotus Sect, and even more hatred was as deep as the sea. Just looking at the manners and positions of these people, he could see that they were the White Lotus Sect.
There were more and more people in the forest, with at least thirty or fifty people surrounding these five people.
"Don't use arrows, don't hurt the horses. The incense master ordered us to rob the horses here. We just missed four horses and completed the task. Today, these guys are still richer."
"Then I will pick one of the best ones and keep it for you to ride." A subordinate said flatteringly around the thief's head.
The thief slapped him in the head and scolded, "As a person in the holy religion, he naturally puts the holy teaching first, and it is the right thing to hand over the best."
They obviously decided to eat these five people, and they were calm and even had the intention to chat.
In this wilderness, Zhongtiao Mountain has high trees and dense forests, stretching for thousands of miles, and no one comes or goes, except tourists.
They robbed many merchants and tourists who traveled far away here, and they were all thrown into the mass graves at the foot of the mountain. The corpses were fattened by many beasts in the forest.
The thief waved his hand and his subordinates rushed forward. Yue Peng and his subordinates desperately stabbed with a spear. The impact of the horse cannot be exerted in the mountains and forests, and the number of people is the biggest advantage.
After a few rounds, there were three people around Yue Peng. The horse was really unable to move and use it. He simply jumped off the horse, threw the spear in his hand and picked up the long knife placed at his waist, and slashed it over. With a slash, he had already cut into half of one of the people's body with a slanted shoulder strap.
"Brother, dismount!"
With a wow, another brother fell down. Yue Peng turned his head and saw that someone was jumping on his body and knocking to the ground. The two people rolling on the ground were clenching each other's eyes, strangling their opponent's neck, and rolling in the jungle.
Yue Peng stabbed into the thief's vest with a knife, turned his wrist into the flesh to help his subordinates get out of trouble.
"These bird men are so difficult to deal with, and they have ruined my dozens of subordinates." The thief leader felt a little distressed. In the White Lotus Sect, the more subordinates you have, the higher your status will be, and it is easier to be promoted to an incense master.
"Look at me, brother, they will not be able to do it right away."
Before he finished speaking, the reinforcements behind him had already come over. Zhang Zhengyuan personally brought his men to the battlefield without any delay.
The situation turned around instantly. Yue Peng shouted loudly, threw Park Dao and grabbed a sect bandit, held his head and hit the big tree behind him. His brain cracked and red and white splashed all over the ground.
"Someone wants to escape!"
The personal soldiers behind Zhang Zhengyuan took down the bow and arrow from their waists and rushed to the tree to shoot arrows. There was also a group of people who quickly chased after them.
Soon, the escaped thief was either shot to death or caught back. Zhang Zhengyuan frowned at the corpse on the ground and the weapons they were holding.
"This is the weapon of the Xiliang soldiers, Yue Peng, look no."
Yue Peng went up to look at it for a while and said, "That's right, when we were in Hedong and fought side by side with Li Xin, they used this. To be honest, it was heavy and dull, and it was not very useful."
Zhang Zhengyuan's eyes shone, pondered for a moment, stepped forward and asked, "Where did these weapons come from?"
The sect bandit who was asked raised his head and asked back, "I said, can you spare my life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his head was cut off with a knife, and the wound on his neck was bleeding, which was very terrifying.
"You say." Zhang Zhengyuan pointed to his dead sect bandits' companions.
"I said, I said, it was a caravan we robbed. Their weapons, a lot of money and horses were taken away by the incense master."
Zhang Zhengyuan pondered: "I heard from the Marquis Zhongyong that a friend of his was killed by the White Lotus thieves on the way back to Xiliang. It seems that this group of people did it. The caravan of Xiliang is full of old soldiers who have fought for a hundred battles, so how could he be harmed by these mobs? I see that there are 80% of the thieves here. I will send orders to stop the march and inquire everywhere, so that they can't alarm the snake."
"What should these people do?"
"What's the use of harming people and animals..."
Yue Peng wiped the blood from the blade and laughed: "Sir, we are going to propose to Zhongyong Hou to hire him. If he lets him know if we have some troubles, will it be..."
Zhang Zhengyuan smiled rarely and turned around and said, "It's not that we have a problem with the thief, but that we were ambushing us first. If the Marquis knew about it, we would be forced to fight back."
