Chapter 171 Not the King of Shu?

Royal Palace.

Shangyangmen.

The sound of fighting stopped.

Everything returned to calm.

Zhou Chen on the palace wall looked down at the corpses on the ground below, as well as Zhou Zhi who tried to escape but failed in the end and fell to the ground. There was not much change on his face.

Such results are all under Zhou Chen's control.

This was originally a big network that Zhou Chen weaved for the three major families and Zhou Zhi.

As long as Zhou Zhi and people from the three major families get in, there is no way they can get out again.

Now, all the masters who entered the palace from the three major families have been wiped out. Even the patriarchs of the three major families and Yuan Tianshu, an ancestor of the Yuan family, have died in Shangyang Gate.

It can be said that 80% to 90% of the masters from the three major families have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

The rest, even if there are some masters from the three major families, they are just a few small shrimps and cannot be much of a threat.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Zhi who fell to the ground below, and said calmly, "Ninth brother, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Haha, brother emperor, do you want to use a gesture of victory to ridicule my failure?"

Zhou Zhi struggled to stand up, raised his head to meet Zhou Chen's gaze on the palace wall, and sneered.

"If Brother Huang wants to humiliate me with this victor's attitude, then Brother Huang may be disappointed."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, I understand this principle."

"Now that I'm defeated, I have nothing to say."

"I just want a quick death."

Zhou Zhi said calmly and his tone was full of indifference.

There seemed to be no fear of death at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen frowned.

Zhou Chen always felt that something was wrong with Zhou Zhi, as if he was a little different from the previous Zhou Zhi.

But Zhou Chen couldn't explain what was wrong.

"humiliation?"

"Do you think I need to humiliate you?"

"Ninth brother, even now, you still haven't woken up. You are simply incurable."

"I gave you several opportunities, but you never cherished them and kept seeking your own death. Then no one can save you."

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Rebellion and usurping the throne is a major crime that will destroy the nine tribes.

Even if Zhou Zhi is Zhou Chen's ninth brother and the son of the Queen Mother, he is no exception.

It is impossible for Zhou Chen to be open to Zhou Zhi because of his status.

This kind of thing cannot be started like this.

Otherwise, it will bring endless troubles.

Seeing Zhou Zhi's gesture, Cao Shaoqin immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.

Cao Shaoqin walked up to Zhou Zhi in a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's decree, your Majesty can go on your journey with peace of mind."

As soon as Cao Shaoqin finished speaking, he saw a strange curve in the corner of Zhou Zhi's mouth.

Suddenly, a warning sign arose in Cao Shaoqin's heart.

"Even if I go on the road, I have to have someone on my back first."

Zhou Zhi's face suddenly showed a hint of ferocity.

The powerful momentum swelled up Zhou Zhi's entire body.

Cao Shaoqin saw this and immediately drew out the soft sword in his waist.

"puff."

A cold light flashed.

There were streaks of blood on Zhou Zhi's neck.

The body that was originally swollen suddenly returned to normal like a deflated rubber ball.

Zhou Zhi opened his eyes and fell down with a look of unwillingness.

Zhou Zhi originally wanted to blow himself up before dying, so he pulled Cao Shaoqin on his back.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shaoqin's sword draw speed was one step faster than Zhou Zhi's self-destruction speed, so that his idea of ​​holding Cao Shaoqin on his back failed.

At this moment, the back door of Shangyang Gate was pushed open.

"stop."

Seeing Zhou Zhi falling down, a shout came from the back door.

Queen Mother?

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their expressions changed.

That's right, the person who opened the back door of Shangyang Gate was none other than the Queen Mother who rushed back to the palace.

As soon as the Queen Mother pushed open the back door of Shangyang Gate, she saw the scene where Zhou Zhi was killed by Cao Shaoqin with a sword.

The Queen Mother loudly stopped her, but it was still a step too late. Zhou Zhi had slowly fallen to the ground.

"Treat children."

The Queen Mother hurriedly walked over and when she saw Zhou Zhi lying on the ground, her face turned pale.

The Queen Mother did not expect that even though she hurriedly and slowly rushed, she was still a step too late and could not save Zhou Zhi.

A white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift has been a tragedy since ancient times.

Even a figure like the Queen Mother, who is the mother of all people, is not exempt from vulgarity.

The Queen Mother looked at the cold body on the ground, shook her body a few times, and then fell down.

"Queen Mother..."

The old palace maid who followed the Queen Mother was startled and quickly stepped forward to hug the Queen Mother who fell.

The faces of the people around him also changed.

No one expected that the Queen Mother would appear at this time.

As a mother, seeing the death of her son is something that no one can accept.

Especially the situation where brothers kill each other is the most tragic.

If something goes wrong with the Queen Mother, this matter will be even more troublesome.

"Mother."

At this time, Zhou Chen also walked down the palace wall and walked over quickly.

Zhou Chen hurriedly checked on the Queen Mother's condition.

After discovering that the Queen Mother had passed out due to excessive sadness, Zhou Chen felt a little more at ease.

"What are you still doing?"

"Why don't you send the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace as soon as possible and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother."

Zhou Chen raised his head and said angrily.

The old palace maid and those from Cining Palace hurriedly carried the Queen Mother and left Shangyang Gate, returning to Cining Palace.

After the Queen Mother was sent away from Shangyang Gate, Zhou Chen turned around and looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian coldly: "Uncle Eight Emperors, didn't I ask you to stop the Queen Mother from returning to the palace first?"

Zhou Chen couldn't hide the anger on his face.

In order to avoid the Queen Mother's interference and embarrassment, Zhou Chen had already given instructions to the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian when he asked him to go to the Shu Palace.

Let him drag the Queen Mother with him no matter what, and not let the Queen Mother return to the palace.

But not only did the Queen Mother return to the palace now, she also happened to see the scene where Zhou Zhi died just now.

This made Zhou Chen full of anger towards Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King.

"Your Majesty, I failed to stop the Queen Mother and I am guilty."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian knelt on the ground with a pop and said.

Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, had already seen the anger in Zhou Chen's eyes, and he felt bitter in his heart that he couldn't express.

The Queen Mother wanted to return to the palace, and there was nothing he, the Eight Wise Kings, could do to stop her.

You can't just forcibly imprison the Queen Mother like the Prime Minister and others did!

If he really dared to do that, then he, the Eight Wise King, would probably have to walk around without food.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen suppressed his anger, glanced at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and said coldly: "Get up first! The Queen Mother's affairs will trouble the Eighth Emperor Uncle in the next few days."

Zhou Chen knew that if something like this happened, the Queen Mother would definitely not want to see Zhou Chen in a short period of time.

Then Zhou Chen could only ask the Eight Wise King Zhou Xianduo to go to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian understood what Zhou Chen meant and said immediately.

Cao Shaoqin next to him looked at Zhou Zhi's body on the ground and raised his eyebrows.

Then, Cao Shaoqin walked to Zhou Chen's side and whispered in Zhou Chen's ear: "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with the body of the King of Shu. This does not seem to be the King of Shu."

Zhou Chen was obviously stunned when he heard this.

Not the King of Shu?

A gleam flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, and he frowned as he looked at Zhou Zhi's body on the ground.

"Cao Shaoqin."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin immediately walked to Zhou Zhi's body with understanding, squatted down, and began to inspect the body of King Shu.

This inspection doesn't matter, Cao Shaoqin really found something wrong after he checked it out.

A human skin mask was torn off Zhou Zhi's face by Cao Shaoqin, revealing Zhou Zhi's true face.

Three virtues?

After seeing the human skin mask torn off Zhou Zhi's face, revealing his true face, a trace of surprise flashed across Cao Shaoqin's face.

That's right, the corpse of King Zhou Zhi of Shu on the ground is completely fake and is not King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

It was the Sande eunuch next to King Shu pretending to be.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian next to him also saw this scene, and his expression changed slightly.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian did not expect that Zhou Zhi on this earth was actually a fake, and was pretended to be San De.

This is really surprising.

Similarly, Zhou Chen also saw that the corpse on the ground was really not Zhou Zhi, and his eyes flashed involuntarily.

Li Daitao is stiff.

What a good idea!

Zhou Chen felt something strange about Zhou Zhi before on the palace wall, but he couldn't explain it specifically.

Now, we see the true face of this land’s governance.

Zhou Chen finally understood what was strange.

It turns out that this Shu King Zhou Zhi is simply a fake, a fake, not the real Shu King Zhou Zhi.

So this is fake, then where is the real King Zhou Zhi of Shu now?

What are you doing again?

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

"Cao Shaoqin, immediately pass the order and make every effort to hunt down the traitors from the King of Shu's party."

"Now, the four gates and nine cities of Luoyang are under martial law. It is impossible for them to leave Luoyang."

"Everything else just goes according to the previously arranged plan."

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said to Cao Shaoqin.

Now, Luoyang has four gates and nine cities under martial law, and no one can get out.

Even if Zhou Zhi and Li Daitao died, he still couldn't leave Luoyang.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin immediately bowed and said.

"besides."

"The King of Shu has died at Shangyang Gate, and the corpse on the ground is the King of Shu."

"You should understand what I mean."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Shaoqin and Baxian Wang again and said.

Zhou Chen knew that if the Queen Mother knew about the death of King Zhou Zhi of Shu, the Queen Mother would definitely not remain indifferent.

At that time, it will be the Queen Mother and him, the emperor, who are in trouble.

Since the Queen Mother has just seen the death of the fake Zhou Zhi, let’s let the Queen Mother think that Zhou Zhi is dead!

Anyway, the final result of Zhou Zhi will not change.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

Cao Shaoqin and Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian said in unison.

"Clean up this place. I don't want this palace to be filled with the smell of blood."

Then, Zhou Chen left without saying a word.

Dian Wei also left Shangyang Gate with a part of the imperial army following Zhou Chen.

As for the rest of the Shangyang Gate, I'll leave it to others to deal with.

…

The four doors of the palace are wide open.

Groups of forbidden troops quickly walked out of the palace and ran towards different directions in Luoyang City.

The task of these forbidden troops is to wipe out all the power of the three great families in Luoyang City.

Don't look at the fact that Prime Minister Yuan Bo has been captured by the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, and the masters of the three major families have also been suppressed at Shangyang Gate.

But the three wealthy families are, after all, the seven wealthy families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they still have a lot of power in Luoyang City.

At the same time, the factory guards of the East Factory also walked around and began to arrest the remaining officials of the three major families in the court.

For a time, the whole city of Luoyang could be said to be covered with dark clouds.

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Shaoqin led the factory guards and broke through the door directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Bold."

"This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. How dare you, Dongchang, attack the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"It's really lawless."

When the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Cao Shaoqin and the factory guards rushing into the Prime Minister's Mansion, his expression changed and he yelled loudly.

"Humph, Prime Minister Yuan Bo colluded with the King of Shu to usurp the throne and rebel. His Majesty has an order to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan."

"Do it."

"Take them all."

"Whoever dares to resist will be shot to death."

Cao Shaoqin waved his hand and said coldly.

"What?"

"The master colluded with the King of Shu to usurp the throne and commit rebellion?"

When other uninformed people in the Prime Minister's Mansion heard Cao Shaoqin's words, their expressions suddenly changed.

Only the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a few people had gloomy expressions.

Because they are the only ones who know about this.

Following Cao Shaoqin's order, the factory guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

"kill."

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion also uttered a word loudly without hesitation, and directly attacked the factory guard.

Other personnel from the Prime Minister's Mansion also started fighting with the housekeeper and factory guards.

"puff."

The two factory guards were slapped and flew out by the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"court death."

Cao Shaoqin saw this and jumped up. The soft sword in his waist was already unsheathed and he attacked the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After a few moves.

The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion was beheaded by Cao Shaoqin with a sword.

Cao Shaoqin did not stop and swung the soft sword in his hand again.

Several masters retained by the Prime Minister's Mansion died one by one under Cao Shaoqin's soft sword.

A few minutes later.

There was no voice of resistance in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

Except for some people who were captured, everyone else fell to the ground and turned into corpses.

…

"Master Jun, what are you doing?"

"I did everything I needed to do, and I didn't miss a single point."

In a restaurant, Jin He rushed in with the imperial army.

When a steward of the restaurant saw this, he quickly stepped forward and said flatteringly.

"Stop talking nonsense, you yourself know what you have done."

"Do you think that I, the commander, don't know that your place is a hideout for traitors from Jiexiu's Fan family and Rongyang's Zheng family?"

"Come here, commander, and arrest them all."

"Whoever dares to resist will be killed."

Jin He waved his hand and gave a direct order.

"No, the Forbidden Army has discovered it. Run away quickly."

Some people in the restaurant saw the Imperial Guards rushing towards them, and without saying a word, they broke the window and fled.

Unfortunately, as soon as these people broke out of the window, they were greeted by countless angry arrows.

…

Similarly, this kind of situation happens everywhere in Luoyang City.

Whether it is the factory guards of Dongchang or the imperial army, they are all vigorously wiping out the power of the three major families in Luoyang City.

Anyone who dared to resist was directly killed by the imperial army and factory guards.
