Soft and crispy waist

Gu Yizi had 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he was unstoppable all the way. Even before the soldiers arrived, many city gates had already opened early to welcome them into the city.

In this way, the road to rebellion was very smooth, and in less than three months, they had reached Kyoto.

Said it was killing.

The people in the capital, however, continued to live their lives as usual, chatting and laughing with the incoming troops.

Of course, some people have a hard time.

Those were the people who opposed Gu Yizi, but they had basically been apprehended before Gu Yizi came to Beijing.

Lord Gan was standing at the palace gate when he saw Gu Yizi riding in with three thousand guards and handing over the list of people who had been imprisoned in recent days.

"Master Gu, everyone has confessed their guilt. I have no authority in the palace."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Gan." After taking the list, Gu Yizi threw a bunch of keys to Lord Gan.

After taking the key, Lord Gan smiled knowingly and stepped aside.

This key belongs to the Dali Temple.

Starting tomorrow, he will be the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

What he was rebelling against was the fact that Gu Yizi was adopted by the old emperor, ascended the throne without proper authority, and had an all-powerful traitor behind him.

This is not beneficial to the current Great Zhou, even if it is necessary.

But he also knew that in today's Great Zhou, only Gu Yizi was worthy of the position.

So, when Gu Yizi said he wanted to rebel, he immediately took his position.

It is better to create a normal situation and reshuffle everything, so as to completely eliminate the accumulated problems.

Most people in the palace are the same.

Gu Yizi arrived outside the Yangxin Palace without any hindrance.

The chief eunuch, Eunuch Lin, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Gu Yizhi coming, he hurriedly came forward and said, "You are finally here, my lord. The emperor has been waiting for you. Please hurry up."

Knowing that the old emperor would suffer more pain if he held on any longer, Gu Yizi walked into the hall without saying a word.

The hall was already filled with an aura of death. The old emperor lay on the dragon couch, looking emaciated. When he saw someone coming in, he could no longer see clearly. He could only weakly ask, "Is Yizhi here?"

"Uncle, it's me." Gu Yizi took two steps forward, knelt beside the couch, and held the old emperor's already cold hand tightly.

Seeing the person clearly, the old emperor nodded in relief. "It's good that you're here. I finally managed to hold on. But... Yizhi, are you sure? It's not impossible to turn things around now. I'll give you the secret decree right here..."

"My nephew is sure that this is the only way to save the Great Zhou." Gu Yizi interrupted the old emperor's persuasion.

"But you will have to bear the infamy for thousands of years, and be a traitor for all eternity."

"What happens after death is up to others to judge. As long as my nephew has a clear conscience, it is enough."

Understanding his determination, the old emperor felt distressed, but he knew his own body best and knew that it was already at the end of its strength and there was nothing more he could do.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Lin Fu, give the things to him."

Eunuch Lin was ordered to take out the things that the old emperor had prepared long ago and hand them over to Gu Yizi, which were the imperial edict of succession and the imperial seal.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." Gu Yizi bowed deeply.

The old emperor waved his hand weakly, "Let's go and see your mother."

Gu Yizi understood what the old emperor meant, nodded, stood up, and left with his things.

This time he did not bring any soldiers with him, but entered the Cining Palace alone.

Gu Yingxin was playing chess with the empress dowager in the courtyard. When she saw Gu Yizi coming, she hurriedly pointed to the backyard.

"Little girl, you are distracted again. Play chess with me properly." The Queen Mother pulled her hand back, as if she didn't see Gu Yizi come in.

Gu Yizi bowed silently to the Queen Mother and went to the backyard.

The hibiscus in the backyard was in full bloom, and *** was trimming one of them.

"Mother."

*** seemed not to hear and continued to trim the branches.

"Mother, everything is settled."

The empress paused, sneered, "Yes, it's a done deal. You're truly a good son to me. You're deceiving me to avoid colluding with your father and uncle in this rebellion, which would have destroyed my future."

"Is power so important to my mother? More important than the Great Zhou, more important than us, more important than anything else?" Gu Yizi finally asked the question he had been asking for more than ten years.

*** was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "You are a man, and many things are within your reach, but for me, even looking at them is a sin. I am no worse than you, but the secular world cannot tolerate me in power, and I refuse to accept it."

"My mother is indeed as good as a man, but now, the Great Zhou cannot tolerate two powers in power. My son, I am sorry that I cannot obey your order."

"What if I don't obey?" *** turned around, staring directly at Gu Yizi with sharp eyes, like two swords frozen in frost and snow for thousands of years, which would pierce Gu Yizi's heart in the next moment.

"Then my son can only be unfilial." Gu Yizi did not give in at all.

From the moment he made the decision, he was prepared that the mother and son would eventually break up.

For the country and the people, there is no room for retreat.

"Hahahaha!" *** suddenly laughed, tears streaming down her face. "Well, all these years of teaching you weren't in vain."

Throwing away the flower scissors in her hand, *** slowly walked to the chair and sat down, looking Gu Yizi from head to toe.

again and again.

"Time flies by so fast. When you were born, you were only the size of a cat and your cry was weak. Fortunately, you are a son. I am very happy. I thought you could realize my ambitions, so I didn't let anyone else take care of you. I have been your teacher since you were little, and you have lived up to my expectations. You are very smart.

It would have been fine originally, but God had to give me a chance.

The crown prince is dead, my brother has no children, his health is broken, and the Great Zhou is in chaos, as if telling me that my chance has come.

I have been planning for so many years, but you don’t understand me.

Your father, you, and your sister all think that I shouldn't do this.

But why shouldn't I? You, as men, can compete for the throne, so why shouldn't I? But the truth is, my life is far, far harder than yours.

If I don't raise you well, you won't be noticed by those people. But if I raise you well, you will become a powerful rival of mine. It seems that I can't get out of this circle no matter what."

Watching *** analyze her own predicament, Gu Yizi simply said: "This circle was drawn by my mother herself."

*** raised her eyes, not understanding what Gu Yizhi meant. "Are you saying that I trapped myself?"

"We never thought that our mother was inferior to others, nor did we think that she couldn't give it a try. It was our mother who always thought so, obsessed with it. She only wanted to break out of this circle and prove that she could do it. She didn't look at the country's current problems and the people's miserable lives. She didn't think about whether she could bear the proof of her mother's stubborn insistence.

Mother, without a country, how can there be politics? And where can there be proof?

*** fell silent, looking down at his hands, which were beginning to show signs of age, and sneered, "The winner is king and the loser is a bandit. Whatever the winner says is right."

"If the mother wants to think this way, the son can do nothing about it."

"I still like you as a child." *** raised her eyes, looked at her son who was now more than a head taller than her, paused and said, "I am going to Yongzhou for recuperation."

"it is good."
