Chapter 1705 Still Haven't Ascended the Throne?
Xia Houzheng felt that it was right, so he asked people to spread the rumors, and then confronted Qu Chuo.
Sure enough, the truth is true and false, and those loyal and patriotic people don't know who is better to defect to, so they all wait and see what changes. Naturally, Xiahou Zheng and Qu Chuo are fighting.
And although Qu Chuo has a lot of troops, he is still far behind Xiahouzheng, the regent with great power. Therefore, although the confrontation was fierce at the beginning, it didn't take long for him to lose the wind. Lost like a mountain.
Qu Chao sent someone to ask for peace, but Xiahou Zheng tore up the book of peace. Anyway, if you die, I will die.
On the 16th day of the fourth lunar month, Qu Chuo saw that he was incapable of returning to heaven, so when Xiahou Zheng sent someone to take someone's head, he committed suicide.
From then on, the only person who was afraid died, and no one could contain him anymore. Xiahou Zheng naturally held the power of the Dongxiao Kingdom, and the people were even more inflated. He wanted to usurp the throne immediately, anyway, there was no one in Dongxiao. If he can be shaken again, even if the little emperor just disappears, he doesn't know if he is alive or dead.
But he was still persuaded by the retainers: "Just now except Qu Chuo, the swordsmen have been greatly used, and the soldiers and horses are still exhausted and need time to recover. If you usurp the throne and become emperor at this time, if the emperor is found by Daling at this time, Daling will borrow it. Don't lend troops to the emperor? Even if the emperor is young, there is nothing to be afraid of, but after all, he is justifiable to ascend to the throne, and it is still possible for Daling to help him. And our soldiers and horses are exhausted, and Daling has gunpowder and Cannon, there are still many good soldiers and good generals. Where are we opponents? Besides, there were rumors before that everyone knew that you were thinking of usurping the throne. If you succeeded to the throne, you would confirm this rumor. If someone in Dongxiao wanted to welcome the emperor back, What should I do if I cooperate with Daling? If the emperor is still alive, we still have to wait for the emperor to return from Daling. At that time, even if you kill the emperor, it doesn't matter. If it is really dead, that's even better. After that, there is no one else in the royal family, and sooner or later you will be persuaded to succeed."
Although Xia Houzheng was bloated, he couldn't hear the unpleasant words very well, so he was very impatient, but he felt it made sense, so he temporarily stopped his thoughts of usurping the throne immediately and planned to wait.
But I didn't plan to wait any longer, I saw Xiahou Zhengdao: "The one-month deadline is approaching, let's see what Da Ling has to say. If they procrastinate and can't find Qu Xiao's child, can I still stay off the board? God's seat?"
When the retainers saw Xiahou Zheng like this, they knew that Xia Houzheng was becoming more and more unable to listen to them, and when they came out of the study, they all sighed.

Also on this day, Daling, Huaishu Village, Qu Xiao was helping baby Xue Yan in the room. The baby was lying on the kang with his back to the sky, holding the bottle in his two little hands and drinking the milk inside. , a small foot rests on the corner of his clothes.
Qu Xiao was used to it and didn't care about her.
It's just that the milk bottle was made of something he had never seen before. At first, he thought it was a bit strange, but he has been in Huaishu Village for some time now. He can see it every day and he is used to it. Okay, I saved a small spoonful of it and fed it.
During these days, he would hear about Dong Xiao's situation from time to time. He knew that Xiahouzheng and his uncle had already been fighting. His uncle was not Xiahouzheng's opponent at all. It is estimated that in the next two days, his uncle will be resolved. .
