Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Su Heting told Zhou Huiyue about Fubao's family affairs, "My son speculates that when Tong Lai was seriously injured for the first time and appeared at Asong's house, he must have pretended to be assassinated by the emperor to test whether Asong was willing to surrender to Yi Qing.

He attacked the Asong couple because they were unwilling. Only when the two young marshals got into trouble could the other ghost soldiers be disheartened."

The assassin who appeared at Asong's house that day should have been disguised as a royal death soldier or secret guard.

Yi Qing had been a secret guard of the previous emperor, and Tong Lai was from the ghost army. They knew the skills of the royal death squads and secret guards.

That's why Asong thought that the emperor was going to take action against them, so he became disappointed with the court and didn't let Fubao learn martial arts.

He also told her that if Qiao Xi associated with the emperor, she should conceal her identity.

Su Heting continued, "I haven't found Ah Yan's whereabouts yet, but I wonder if you've ever seen Tong Lai, a man in his forties, tall, with gray hair?"

After hearing this, Zhou Huiyue's shame and embarrassment had already turned into anger.

Because her biological father was a ghost soldier, she had a special feeling for the ghost soldiers. Now that she knew that it was Yi Qing who actually killed the ghost soldiers, she just wished she could kill that man right away.

But she didn't have that ability, so she could only try her best to recall so as to give Su Heting some clues, "Mother has never heard of Ah Yan."

Yi Qing used to pretend to be down and out and weak in front of her, so how could he let her know all this?

Regarding the ghost army, she felt that revenge was hopeless and wanted to return to Beijing to die with the emperor. Yi Qing revealed some of the information to give her some confidence.

"But a few years ago, a man in black did appear. He was tall, with some gray hair on his temples, and looked to be under forty.

They went to the next tent to talk, and soon Yi Qing also left in a hurry.

Later, he told me that the man was his friend in the underworld. Because he had displeased his wife, she became very angry and committed suicide in a fit of rage.

He knew Yi Qing had some medical skills, so he asked Yi Qing to come and treat him. Could they be the people you are looking for? "

Su Heting felt that it was almost certain.

Fubao had heard before that the man rescued by Asong had gray hair on his temples, so Fubao always thought that the man was older than Asong.

Because of this wrong clue, they searched for a long time until the old man's memory recovered a little.

They then learned that Tong Lai had been poisoned when he was young. Although he survived, his hair on his temples had turned white.

With the old man's memory, they were able to find out these things.

Now, combined with what Zhou Huiyue said, it is almost certain that their guess is true, and Tong Lai has defected to Yi Qing.

It is still unknown whether the woman is Ah Yan.

But Fubao said that Ayan was good at making braised food, and their approach of looking for a braised food shop was obviously wrong.

Because they had carefully checked every restaurant in the capital, they found no one who looked like Ah Yan.

Or maybe after Ah Yan left Ah Song's house, she had not yet had time to open a shop in the capital before the accident happened.

This can only be checked further.

As for whether or not to activate the secret order to summon the ghost army, he still needs to consider it carefully.

Seeing that Zhou Huiyue looked tired, he urged her to go and rest first, but Zhou Huiyue cherished the time she spent with Su Heting.

She didn't know when Yi Qing would come, and she didn't know how long this peace could last.

Su Heting roughly understood her thoughts, "Don't worry, your son will never let him take you away again. We still have a lot of time together."

Only then did Zhou Huiyue agree to go and rest first.

When he turned around, his eyes dropped to his abdomen, a trace of sadness falling on his face.

She deliberately took two steps behind and stared at Su Heting's back in a daze.

After settling her down, Su Heting went to see the old man again and told him about finding the jade seal and his guess about Yi Qing.

The old man pondered and said, "If many members of the Ghost Army really have defected to Yi Qing, then we need to be cautious in summoning them."

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will attract the other party's spies, which will not be worth the loss.

But he still hadn't fully recovered his memory. The old man stood up and said, "I'll go find a leper. Maybe he can give me a few more acupuncture treatments and I can recover a little.

However, we can get the list of the ghost army first."

Su Heting thought so too.

Therefore, the next day, he went to Shoushan with the old man in person, used the jade seal and jade cicada to open the lock, and got the list of ghost soldiers.

After thinking about it all night, Su Heting issued an imperial decree of commendation.

In appreciation of the Ghost Army's hard work over the years and their contributions to Dayou, they allowed their children priority admission to the Imperial College and several famous schools in Dayou.

In the future, when participating in the military and imperial examinations, certain bonus points will be given.

Those who wanted to join the army were also classified as elite soldiers and were commanded by the emperor himself.

Businessmen and farmers can enjoy a 30% tax reduction based on their achievements in the ghost army.

The above awards are regardless of gender.

Su Heting specifically noted that women could also attend school or join the army. This was something he and Qiao Xi had planned before they ascended the throne.

There are also women with great talents.

The second half of the imperial edict disclosed the fact that Tong Lai had committed treason and pretended to be the imperial court to attack the ghost army.

Finally, a reward was offered to the ghost army to allow them to report anonymously.

The ghost army is also welcome to return, but they are no longer hidden behind people, but are organized into camps and commanded by the ghost army commander.

After obtaining the old man's consent, Su Heting issued a second imperial decree, announcing the old man's true identity and bestowing him the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

When the two imperial edicts came down, the capital city was suddenly in an uproar.

Only then did everyone realize that the crazy old man beside Su Heting was actually the Queen's biological father, and the commander of the ghost army who had helped the late emperor conquer several neighboring countries.

However, some people in the ghost army were instigated to rebel by the enemy country, and some people scolded the emperor for being incompetent, saying that during his reign, the enemy country took advantage of the situation.

Some people speculated which neighboring country the enemy was, and some worried that there would be another war. If a war really broke out, could Dayou defeat it?

After all, the ghost army was once said to be magical.

When the ghost soldiers who had retreated to the capital or its surrounding areas heard the news, they were either furious with Tong Lai and sharpened their knives to catch the traitor, or they found their dusty swords and wanted to look for their commander.

Some are happy for their children.

After this incident, many people became more and more accepting of the new emperor. They felt that Su Heting was open and honest and did not treat the people as outsiders. Instead, they became more convinced of him.

However, there were also many officials who felt that this reward was inappropriate, especially the one that allowed girls to go to school and join the army, which was simply a violation of social order, so they went to the palace to look for Su Heting.

There were also several old ministers from aristocratic families who were about the same age as the old man and entered the palace.

It was hard for them to believe that Fang Qingyun (the old man's real name, mentioned in the previous chapter about the old man's past), that dandy boy, was actually the commander-in-chief of the ghost army. They suspected that the emperor did this on purpose to save face for his crazy grandfather.

Su Heting pushed out Grand Tutor Zhou, who had just been transferred back to the capital.

Grand Tutor Zhou had always enjoyed prestige in the capital and had been immersed in officialdom for many years, so dealing with these matters was no problem for him.

In particular, about ten days later, another incident shocked the capital.

Prince Wu'an was dissatisfied with the new emperor and wanted to rebel.

The wise emperor and empress had noticed it early on, and the empress had secretly left the palace early. When Wu'an just started the rebellion, she personally led the King of Southern Xinjiang, Xu An, to suppress the rebels.

Now Wu'an is under the control of the Queen.

The queen then led her troops to Tongzhou, Weizhou and other places, and eliminated their military power, making the remaining vassal states panic.

Some also thought that since the imperial court had taken action against them, they might as well rebel first.

But as soon as he made a move, he was beheaded by the Queen, just like Prince Wu'an.

Soon, word spread among the people that the queen had unfathomable martial arts skills, appeared and disappeared without a trace, and was the reincarnation of a goddess who protected the country and brought peace.

Those who opposed women's enrollment in school and military service were suddenly speechless.

Su Heting was so angry in the imperial study that his eyebrows were twitching.

Qiao Xi had clearly promised him that she would come back after assassinating King Wu'an, but now she was taking Xu An with her like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

Running rampant in Dayou territory.

Su Heting understood Qiao Xi's efforts to share his worries, but he was really worried about her safety.

He called Lai Chijiao over and asked him to go to Qiao Xi immediately. He was worried that the more Qiao Xi used force, the faster the poison would take effect.

Su Que heard the news and followed Lai Chijiao over. She comforted him, "Don't worry, my brother. I know what's going on and won't joke about my own health.

Besides, didn’t Sister Xia send a letter to Dasheng, asking them to send someone to treat my sister-in-law? "

After Su Heting ascended the throne, the Barbarian Kingdom delegation stayed for about ten days and then left.

Xia was really worried about Qiao Xi's health, so she asked Wuyou to write a letter to inform Doctor Ye of the Dasheng Dynasty about Qiao Xi's condition.

It is said that Dr. Ye is very interested in difficult and complicated diseases, and he will come after receiving the letter.

If he comes, he can check on Qiao Chengwang's leg. If he can't cure it, Su Que will take Qiao Chengwang with him to Dasheng.

Waiting for the little prince and others to ask the people from Xiaoyao Pavilion for help.

The letter was delivered by a bird, and according to Wuyou, it should have been delivered by now.

Maybe the people from Dasheng have already set off.

However, Su Que's words did not comfort Su Heting, but now that he was an emperor and had just ascended the throne, he really couldn't escape.

He pressed his eyebrows and sent Su Que away, "Go and check on my mother again."

Zhou Huiyue came back with a pregnant belly, but she refused to tell anyone and secretly drank an abortion drug.

But because she was old and her baby was already quite old, she almost lost her life after taking this bowl of medicine.

Su Heting was both angry and distressed. Seeing Zhou Huiyue crying silently, he couldn't bear to say a word of reprimand.

He only secretly swore in his heart that once the political situation was stabilized, he would kill Yi Qing with his own hands.

Su Que knew that he cared about Zhou Huiyue, so he quickly turned around and left. In his heart, he felt a little envious of Qiao Xi, as she also wanted to go out and have fun. For this reason, she had recently developed a lot of poisons.

Unfortunately, her brother wouldn't let her go, and Qiao Chengwang also said affectionately that he couldn't bear to see her leave.

She could only watch her father leave.

The imperial study had barely fallen silent for a moment when the eunuch came in again with the news, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong and his son request an audience."
