Inside the palace, the lights are bright, and on the roof, bright red silk flowers are tied in the middle of the red ribbons. Two red candles, as tall as one person, illuminate a huge happy character particularly brightly.
On top of it are placed congratulatory gifts from envoys from various countries and courtiers.
During the banquet, Zhang Yang exchanged cups with the envoys and courtiers sent by various countries for the wedding, and gradually he felt a little drunk.
Su Le had already made a big fuss during the day, even though he was seriously injured by himself and was missing. What's more, he had that weird man with many martial arts as his helper, who would sooner or later become his biggest problem.
What's more important is that his spies have found out that the remnants of the Xia Kingdom have gathered in the capital, obviously making some moves. What's even more strange is that An Ruyi has clearly arrived in the capital, but only sent congratulatory gifts.
But he didn't show up at the banquet, which made him suspicious.
If he doesn't have sex with Xia Shuang, he won't be able to control Xia Shuang. If An Guo disobeys his army, he will always be his enemy. This makes him very troubled.
These people have always been a serious problem for him. If they are not destroyed, they will not be able to silence the courtiers. Although he has become a military commander, without the sincere support of the courtiers, he will not be able to fulfill his position as emperor.
of stability.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Everyone, I have a wonderful night with you today, so I won't accompany you to get drunk."
After saying that, he walked out of the hall. He was already a little drunk, but when the night breeze blew, he suddenly felt drunk. His feet were a little unsteady, and he swayed towards the bridal chamber with the help of everyone.
Walk in the direction.
Because Su Le had just made a big fuss during the day, the palace was extremely tightly guarded. Forbidden soldiers were wearing armor and had spears standing beside them. The tips of the spears shone with a cold light under the moonlight.
He sneered and looked at the soldiers around him. He was already a general and needed these ants to protect him. Apart from those generals, who else in the world would dare to assassinate him.
But just as he thought of this, a cold light suddenly flew from the palace wall.
Zhang Yang sneered, stretched out his right hand and caught the flying arrow. He reflected it back without hesitation, and made a squeak! The person there screamed and fell to the ground instantly.
There was a huge chaos on the ground, and the Royal Forest Army rushed over from all directions in an instant, and quickly protected Zhang Yang!
Zhang Yang smiled coldly and slowly came to the assassin's body, only to see that he was actually the eunuch who had served him for a long time.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang's drunkenness disappeared.
They say it’s always cold at high places, so I can’t trust anyone! He shouted coldly: “Where is the commander of the Royal Forest Army?”
The sound of armor scraping got closer and closer, and after a while, he saw the commander of the imperial army striding towards him. Seeing Zhang Yang's unkind expression, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the general didn't know that the Emperor was here.
Please forgive me, my emperor."
Zhang Yang smiled coldly and asked with a sullen look on his face: "What's going on with this assassin? The crossbow arrows he used are obviously powerful crossbows from An**, and now they are used to assassinate me. How do you explain it?"
** didn't dare to raise his head at all. He kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, Su Le made a big fuss in the palace during the day, and some of the guards in the palace were killed and injured. Moreover, tonight is the night of my emperor's wedding. I am worried that there will be a loss, so I sent more troops.
However, I didn’t expect that there was also rebellion hidden in the inner palace. I will definitely investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.”
Zhang Yang looked at him coldly and said coldly: "Within three days, I will see the heads of those thieves, otherwise you will come to see them."
After saying that, Zhang Yang turned and left.
** Lying on the ground trembling all over, he could already feel the opponent's powerful aura. The gentleman was so angry that blood stained thousands of miles!
Zhang Yang strode towards the bridal chamber. At this time, he was so drunk that he didn't need anyone's support. The people on both sides practiced kneeling, which made him feel very happy! This is the right, and he likes this kind of right.
At this moment, the two rows of palace lanterns in front lit up and slowly moved in his direction. Not long after, he saw the palace lanterns getting closer and closer. Zhang Yang took a closer look and saw that the palace maids and attendants holding the lanterns were all people from the queen's palace.
"Why are they here?" Zhang Yang was confused.
When everyone turned on their lights and walked to Zhang Yang, they saw that the person opposite was the emperor. The leader hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Zhang Yang frowned, with a hint of irritation on his face, just because he saw someone he never wanted to see.
This woman wears a phoenix crown and Xia Pei, with a fair face that is slightly plump. She has a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, and her eyes are as clear as water. She has a high bridge of nose and a slightly stubborn mouth. Although there are some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes,
But she still has her charm. She is about forty years old, but she is very well maintained.
The woman's current appearance can be said to be like a flower in the moonlight, like a fish and a goose. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful the woman would be in the age of cardamom.
She came to Zhang Yang, with a helpless dark look on her face, knelt down and prostrated and said: "I, my concubine, pay your respects to the emperor."
"Excuse me. I wonder what happened to the queen when she came here late at night?" Zhang Yang asked coldly.
The woman said calmly: "I heard that the emperor is getting married tonight, so I came here to congratulate you."
Although she said it was congratulations, there was no joy at all on her face, and there was even a cold tone in her voice.
Zhang Yang saw the other party's mood and snorted coldly: "I already know the queen's intention, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy. Please return to the palace early to rest."
The queen shook her head and said: "My concubine's body is nothing. I hope that the emperor will put state affairs first in everything he does, take care of his body, and never be greedy for female sex."
When Zhang Yang heard this, he frowned and said with a sullen expression, "What did you say?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang's face and knew that Zhang Yang was unhappy. Everyone knelt in front of them, hoping that the queen would not anger the emperor anymore so that they could return to the palace as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the queen still ignored Zhang Yang's anger and continued: "I hope that the emperor will put state affairs first in everything and never be greedy for women, so as not to harm the country and the people."
"Oh, I wonder what the queen means by this?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, looking at the queen.
"I wonder who the emperor will marry tonight?"
"The former princess Xia Shuang." Zhang Yang gently glanced at the queen kneeling on the ground from the corner of his eyes.
The queen said righteously: "Your Majesty, Xia Shuanggui is the princess of the previous dynasty. Your Majesty should treat her with courtesy. How could you harm the country and the people and ignite the flames of war because of your temporary greed, causing lives to be ruined and the people to be in dire straits?"
"
Zhang Yang's tone became more and more unkind: "What about the Queen's wishes?"
The queen shook her head and said: "I hope your majesty will take the common people of the world into consideration, treat Xia Shuang kindly, and focus on appeasement to stabilize the civil strife."
Zhang Yang frowned and said word by word: "The queen is in charge of the harem. I hope the queen will not interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty."
The queen stared at Zhang Yang and said in an almost pleading tone: "Your Majesty, even though you have mentioned the matter of the previous dynasty, I hope your Majesty will think twice."
Zhang Yang suddenly became murderous. It turned out that Zhang Yang had already wanted Li Xia Shuang to help him. He was worried that he had no excuse. At this time, the queen just gave Zhang Yang one.
Because of this, he said coldly: "I have already said that if the queen is still stubborn, don't blame me for wanting to punish the queen according to the law."
The queen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to put me to death, you must dissuade your Majesty from doing such a thing that harms the country and the people. What's more, you have the intention to make her your queen, so how can you care about my opinion!
"
When Zhang Yang heard this, his eyebrows stood up and his eyes widened. He said loudly: "Do you really want to force me to kill you?"
The queen sighed and said: "If your majesty does not listen to the advice, I am willing to die. But it is not a pity for me to die. I am afraid that your majesty will leave a crime that will be infamy for thousands of years."
When Zhang Yang heard this, he shouted loudly and said: "Stop, I have tried to dissuade you again and again, but you are still stubborn. In this case, I will help you."
Zhang Yang didn't want to start a fight on this happy day, but Su Le had already made him angry during the day, and now the queen was openly defying him. He said coldly: "Come here, pull the queen down and behead her."
The guards behind him looked at each other, not knowing whether this was true or not, and did not dare to act rashly.
"Come here, pull the queen down and behead her." Zhang Yang repeated it again. The guards knew it was true and hurriedly dragged the queen away. However, they did not behead the queen, but put her under house arrest.
Zhang Yang snorted coldly, opened the door and walked into the bridal chamber.
I saw a bright red scene in the bridal chamber. The bed tents and furniture were all festive red. Against the backdrop of the red candles, it was particularly festive.
Sitting on the new bed was a slender woman, wearing bright red clothes and trousers, with a bright red hijab covering her head.
Although the other party was dressed in wedding clothes, he was tied to the bed and couldn't move in any way!
Zhang Yang came to the bed, picked it up with his hand, and opened the red hijab on the bride's head. The beauty under the hijab was lightly painted with pink and white, and was round and round. It was a standard beauty embryo.
Xia Shuang's mouth was tied with a thin red rope, so she couldn't speak. But when she looked at Zhang Yang, her eyes seemed to burst out with anger.
Zhang Yang looked at Xia Shuang's appearance, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "Sure enough, you have an appearance that will captivate the country. Xia Shuang, I am also a majestic emperor now. Even though you were once a princess, I think, at this moment, I
My identity will not be humiliated to you."
Xia Shuang's mouth was trapped by the red rope and she could only look at Zhang Yang angrily.
Zhang Yang said a few words, but when Xia Shuang didn't answer, he noticed that Xia Shuang's mouth was speechless.
Zhang Yang gently untied the red rope from Xia Shuang's mouth and said, "Who is so bold as to treat the princess like this?"
Xia Shuang was about to get angry, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, smiled and said, "Does General Zhang really want to marry me?"
"Yes, I have admired the princess for a long time, so why don't I marry her sincerely?"
Xia Shuang was disdainful in her heart, but she said on the surface: "Then let me ask you, even if you sincerely marry me, then why do you want to start a rebellion and usurp the throne of the Xia family when you are already the head of the family?"
Zhang Yang looked at Xia Shuang and let out a long sigh, as if he had something to hide.
