Rebirth of the Phoenix

The sudden change in the imperial mausoleum

King Xiaoyao has no wife or children, and the whereabouts of his father and brother are unknown. As a mother, she should come forward in person.

Thinking of this, Ying Rushuang let out a long sigh, with a bit of longing and sadness in her eyes: "You are still thoughtful, I am so busy these days that I almost forgot. I will leave this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Get ready, on the last day of the seventh day, you can also go to the imperial mausoleum with me."

When Taihe heard this, he knelt down with tears of gratitude and kowtowed: "I thank the Queen Mother——"

"Get up quickly, I am also very touched by your affection for King Xiaoyao." Ying Rushuang turned to Ying Jinghong and said, "Please help Taihe go back, and then go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell him to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare well.

Don't do it too shabbily."

The more times like this, the more she has to establish her image as a "good wife and mother", and she must handle this matter well.

In the next few days, she ostensibly recuperated in Langhuan Palace, but secretly sent a large number of additional troops to investigate Ye Qingge's whereabouts. At the same time, she also continued to secretly contact her trusted generals inside and outside the capital to arrange their arrangements.

Five days later, Ying Rushuang marched towards the imperial mausoleum under the protection of five thousand guards.

She went there as a "mother". Except for some servants from the palace and Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, she did not bring any other relatives of the emperor. Even the five thousand guards were persuaded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

, took it with him on the pretext of preventing the enemy's spies from causing trouble.

In order not to disturb the people in the capital, she dressed in white and set out from the palace when the sky was dim.

On the way there, she looked at the gray sky through the curtain, and thought of the "Xiaoyao King" lying in the imperial mausoleum. However, he was just a commoner, but he was able to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as a "prince" and died.

, it’s not a loss either.

However, when can Emperor Yebei be buried in the imperial mausoleum?

When she becomes the queen and the Ying family becomes the royal family, what should be done with the imperial mausoleum?

Well, she is not such a vicious person. It would be better to let the kings of the Ying clan be buried in the Ye clan's imperial mausoleum. Anyway, the Ye clan's imperial mausoleum occupies more than a dozen hills, and the place is very large.

After three hundred years, there is still a lot of open space, enough for the Ying family dynasty to use for another hundred years.

At that time, the tombs of the kings of the Ying family must be built taller and more magnificent than those of the Ye family, so as to compare with the momentum and dignity of the kings of the Ye family, and make the Ye family on and off the ground so angry that they vomit blood.

.

She kept imagining that in a dozen days, she would ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, becoming the first queen in history. A victorious and proud smile appeared on her face. If others saw this smile, they would definitely be surprised: a

How could a mother who went to celebrate her son's birthday smile so happily?

However, she is the most powerful woman in Dashun, who can see her true face?

After the team left the city gate, it was getting brighter. The servants walking in front began to throw ghost coins. The monks from the royal temple began to recite scriptures. The others were silent. A strange atmosphere always filled the place.

A special official road leading to the imperial mausoleum.

On both sides, there are rolling mountains, a wide field of vision, and excellent scenery.

Because the mountains are covered with evergreen plants such as pines and cypresses, even in autumn, the mountains are extremely green and full of vitality.

Ying Rushuang looked at the green mountains on both sides and sighed secretly. Being an emperor is good, being a royal family is beautiful. Such beautiful scenery can only be enjoyed by members of the royal family. Ordinary people, even top nobles like the Ying family, cannot touch it.

One cent.

There is not a single person in the rolling mountains, up and down the mountain. They are all enjoyed by the dead of the Ye family.

The dead people of the royal family live far better than the living people of the nobility.

Therefore, she must make the Ying family a royal family, and she must reach the heights that Ye Beihuang once reached.

In her life, she must live a more glorious life than Ye Beihuang, and she must let Ye Beihuang die with a sigh of relief!

More than an hour later, the imperial mausoleum finally appeared in sight.

The Ye family's imperial mausoleum was built on the basin in the center of this mountain. A small river shaped like a "ji" wonderfully "embraces" the imperial mausoleum. Because there are many mountains and forests, the water and soil are well preserved.

Even in the dry season, the river never dries up.

The mountains are like flying dragons, and the rivers are like dragons swimming in the sea. In addition, everywhere is green and full of vitality. This land is known as the best Feng Shui treasure land in the world. Therefore, the Ye clan established an independent branch.

In addition to the army, there are mausoleum guards who have guarded the imperial mausoleums for generations.

For three hundred years, this mausoleum guarding army has never let anyone trample or damage this geomantic treasure.

This army is more reliable than any army in Dashun.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties, anyone from the royal family who came to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices felt at ease.

Ying Rushuang is also very relieved.

When the team arrived at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, there were already eunuchs in charge of managing the imperial mausoleum, and palace maids came to greet them. The tomb-protecting soldiers, who were as straight as green pine trees, stood in all the passages to protect the visitors and the deceased.

safety, regardless of reception matters.

According to the rules, except for members of the royal family and their attendants, no one is allowed to enter the main area of ​​the imperial mausoleum. Therefore, the five thousand guards stayed outside the entrance and waited.

Ying Rushuang only brought a dozen personal eunuchs, maids, the master of the temple and some sacrificial supplies, and stepped into the main entrance road made of white marble.

This imperial mausoleum has existed for three hundred years. There are as many as a thousand people buried in the royal family and imperial concubines. Moreover, the tombs of each emperor are far apart from each other. The area is naturally very large. If you want to

It may take several days to complete a full circle.

However, King Xiaoyao was just a prince, and he had no marriage or children. His mausoleum could only be built on the outside of the mausoleum area, not far from the entrance. Ying Rushuang only walked for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving in front of King Xiaoyao's tomb.

.

The person in the tomb was just a scapegoat from the common people. How could she salute or shed tears to such a pariah?

Besides, the people around her are all her confidants and will never betray her or betray her, so why does she need to hide it in front of them?

Therefore, there was no sadness on her face at all, she just made a little gesture to let the slaves and monks go about their business. She stood aside and patiently waited for the final ceremony to end.

After another half an hour, the series of rituals ended, and the last step was to set off firecrackers.

Let's set off lots and lots of firecrackers to celebrate "King Xiaoyao"'s successful return to heaven.

More than a dozen palace residents set off firecrackers together.

The sound of "cracking" resounded through this land that was always peaceful.

My ears were filled with the sound of firecrackers, my eyes were filled with the smoke of gunfire, and I could neither hear anything nor see clearly.

Suddenly, Yinwu rushed to her side, pulled her behind the cypress tree nearby, and said in a low voice: "Mother, something seems not quite right. Please quickly put on this dress and follow me immediately."

He handed Ying Rushuang a large enough eunuch uniform and a eunuch winter hat.

Ying Rushuang was shocked, but without delay, she quickly put on the eunuch uniform and asked in a low voice: "What do you think happened?"

She absolutely believed in Yinwu. There must be a reason for Yinwu to say so. Rather than keep asking questions, it would be better for her to act quickly.

Yinwu first ordered the palace people to set off more firecrackers, and then said in a low voice: "I heard some ominous sounds, which seemed to be coming from the entrance. I think something might have happened there."

Ying Rushuang's eyelids twitched: "What can happen...?"

Yinwu's expression was very solemn: "There seems to be the sound of fighting."

This place is about a mile away from the entrance, and there are firecrackers set off. Of course, his hearing is greatly affected, but his internal strength is deep, his physical condition is many times higher than that of ordinary people, coupled with his extraordinary acumen and the tempering of hundreds of battles,

He still faintly heard the sound of fighting coming from the entrance.

The fighting over there must have been very fierce, so he could hear the sound in such an environment.

Ying Rushuang was so shocked that she paused for a moment, then suddenly sped up, quickly tied on her belt and put on her hat: "We can't stay here, we can't leave the entrance, where can we go?"

She chose to believe in nothingness.

If Yinwu says this, I would rather believe in its existence than its non-existence.

A big war is about to begin. It involves the struggle for imperial power. Any accidents and conspiracies may happen. She must be careful at all times and must not have any "maybe she is just overthinking" or "how could this be possible".

This kind of lucky and careless mentality of "see first before talking about things".

Yin Wudao: "I can only escape to the mountains."

After saying that, he put a sheathed dagger into Ying Rushuang's hand: "My Majesty, my subordinates will fight to the death to protect your Majesty, please be careful yourself."

Ying Rushuang's face was solemn, as determined as a soldier rushing to the battlefield: "No matter what happens, let's escape together."

Then, she rushed to the palace who were setting off firecrackers and the monks who were chanting sutras a few meters away and shouted: "Louder, set off more firecrackers, chant sutras louder, and send the prince off in a lively manner."

So, the firecrackers were set off even louder, the monk chanted louder, and no one noticed her side.

"Mother, I'm sorry." Yinwu said lowly, picked her up suddenly, rushed into the pine and cypress bushes at lightning speed, and ran towards the nearest mountain under the cover of pine and cypress trees.

Fortunately, this place is on the outskirts of the Imperial Tomb, not far from the surrounding mountains. If it were in the middle of the Imperial Tomb, there would be too few places to hide inside.

Ying Rushuang was startled by his actions, but she also knew that the situation was critical, so she didn't say much or do anything. She just held onto Yinwu's clothes tightly and cooperated with his actions.

Her eyes peeked out from her hidden shoulders and saw the scene behind her.

A group of heavily armed soldiers, like soldiers descending from heaven, suddenly appeared in front of King Xiaoyao's tomb and slashed with their swords.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the screams of the palace people and monks came and went, so clearly.

Amidst the sound of gunpowder smoke, the hand raised and dropped the knife, and blood flew everywhere.

The dozens of palace people and monks fled with screams. However, those figures who looked like ghosts in the smoke did not give anyone a chance to escape - except for the shadows Rushuang and Yinwu who sensed something was wrong in advance and escaped first.

Ying Rushuang has experienced many conspiracies and killed many people in her life, but this is the first time she has seen such a crazy and ruthless mass killing scene, and the first time she has experienced a crazy escape. She is shocked: What if

If Yin Wu responded a step too slowly, or if she hesitated for a short while, she might have been killed by those ghostly knives just like those people!

Her vision blurred as her vision was blocked by pines and cypresses.
