Step Down, Let Me Come!

Chapter 164: 164 Xiaocheng Chaos (IV) [asking for monthly votes]

Views:

This person's roots are in Xiaocheng.

And he gave up the private school without saying a word...

How great a crisis would it take for someone to resolutely abandon the foundation they had built over many years and move far away with their wife, children and assets

Seeing Chu Yao's expression, the male host guessed that he had not received the message yet. Judging from the direction he was heading, he might still be heading to Xiaocheng, so he kindly advised: "Are you going to Xiaocheng this time?"

Chu Yao did not give a direct answer.

Just asking indirectly: "Is it impossible to go?"

The host said: "You can't go, you can't go!"

Chu Yao: "Why can't I go?"

The male host did not hide it, and a bit of hatred appeared on his face. He said: "It's still that damn Geng country!"

After he said this, Chu Yao seemed even more confused, puzzled: "Geng Kingdom? But Sibao County has long been in the hands of Geng Kingdom..."

Why attack your own territory for no reason

The male host said, "There is unrest in Geng country."

With just a few words, the chaotic threads in Chu Yao's mind were instantly cleared up. He bowed to the male host and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

The male owner was internally very proud - the biggest regret in his life was that he had a lot of talent but no one appreciated it. Even God treated him unfairly and did not give him the matching talent of a scholar, making him an ordinary person - Chu Yao, as a scholar, even sought advice from him, which indirectly proved his value.

He did not show any arrogance, but instead returned the greeting.

"No, no, I hit it off with you right away, what's the point of 'giving advice or not'?" The male host swept away the depression of being forced to flee, smiled and took Chu Yao's hand, with an intimate gesture of "good brothers". It can be said that he told Chu Yao everything he knew.

He told almost everything he knew.

The root of this matter lies with the royal family of Geng State.

As mentioned before, the civil strife in Geng State gave Zheng Qiao the capital to turn things around. The source of the civil strife was that the old king of Geng State suddenly suffered a stroke, paralyzed half of his body, and became increasingly weak. His sons fought fiercely under the support of their respective forces.

At first, no one thought of Zheng Qiao.

Who is Zheng Qiao

A proton born in another country.

To put it nicely, Zheng Qiao went to another country as a hostage, and his mother went to another country for "peaceful marriage". The mother and son sacrificed themselves for the sake of justice, and preserved the peace of Geng State for more than ten years, and made contributions to the peace between Geng and Xin. But to put it bluntly, this is "abandoning the child".

The old king of Geng country doesn’t care about a woman and a son at all. As a king, how could he lack a woman

With a woman, would he lack a son

I heard that Zheng Qiao became a favorite who served others and was given the humiliating nickname of "Nu Jiao". She did not acknowledge her son from the bottom of her heart.

It's such a disgrace to the Geng Kingdom's royal family!

For these reasons, even though Geng State had developed well in recent years, Xin State's national strength was weakening and the gap between the two countries was slowly narrowing. The old ruler of Geng State could have tried to take back Zheng Qiao and her son, but he didn't do so and just thought he had forgotten about it.

However, he forgot but some people did not.

For example, his queen.

The sons were fighting each other, and the queen, who only had three daughters, was very worried. None of the mothers of these illegitimate sons were simple. Once they became the new kings, wouldn't their mothers kill them? So she cried day and night, thinking hard about countermeasures.

The three princesses heard the news and comforted their mother, and also came up with a bad idea which now seems a bit rotten.

Let the queen choose a future leader who is easy to handle.

The queen thought about it and it seemed like a feasible solution.

So she invited her family to secretly plot, and her movements also fell into the eyes of those who had ulterior motives, and these people were the court officials who were waiting and watching. Not only the queen was worried, but these court officials were also worried that they would fail to stand up for themselves and be liquidated by the new king in the future, so it was better to strike first!

The two sides hit it off and supported a puppet leader!

Which son of the old king of Geng country is easier to control

After thinking about it, I finally thought of Zheng Qiao, who had no sense of existence. Zheng Qiao's mother was dead, he had a terrible life, and he had no foundation in Geng country. How could a flatterer who could only flatter and sell his ass know how to govern a country? Wouldn't the power finally fall into their hands

This proposal made the queen feel uncomfortable and a thorn in her heart.

Zheng Qiao's mother was also a beautiful woman who overwhelmed the Gengguo court in her time. She was a very capable person. If she hadn't been careless and been plotted against, she wouldn't have been favored by the King of the LSP Xin Kingdom and forced to leave.

The queen regarded Zheng Qiao's mother as her rival and love rival, and now she was going to support the son of that vixen to be the king, which made her feel a little unhappy. But despite her dislike, the queen still nodded and agreed to welcome Zheng Qiao back to the country because of the temptation of ruling from behind the curtain.

Geng State made secret efforts and Zheng Qiao worked hard. After many dangers, they successfully returned to Geng State. With the joint efforts of the queen and her natal relatives, they reached the top in one fell swoop.

As for the brothers whose benefits were taken advantage of by Zheng Qiao

Haha, with Zheng Qiao’s temper and the Queen’s mind, how can they have a good ending

Those who disobeyed were killed with excuses, and those who survived were driven crazy.

How crazy is it

A man mistook a sow for his wife and a piglet for his son. They ate and slept together, and went in and out together. Famous doctors shook their heads and said they could not save him. People were curious about this, and the palace maids and eunuchs would even let him perform in front of them how to be a loving couple, just to amuse themselves.

The other brother was slightly better, but he was also mad in his own way, as dumb as a baby, and unable to take care of himself.

If the maids were slow to clean, he would drink his own urine and eat his own feces, enjoying it with gusto. Looking at his expression, those who didn't know would think he was tasting some kind of human delicacy. Zheng Qiao naturally suspected that the two were playing crazy and tried several times.

If anything goes wrong with these two, kill them.

As a result, whether he ordered the servants to humiliate their mother in person or to cook their wet nurse in a big pot, the two did not show any abnormal reaction. The medical officer also checked them several times and was sure that they were really stupid. Despite this, Zheng Qiao still had no intention of killing them.

In the end, no action was taken. It was the Queen Mother, the old king's queen, who came forward to defend him. Zheng Qiao couldn't turn against her and had to agree.

Why did the Queen Mother suddenly become kind

Of course it was not out of mercy, it was purely because the old king's son was about to be killed by Zheng Qiao and her! There were many curses in the court that reached her ears, saying how vicious she was and couldn't tolerate the blood of the previous king, and that her previous tolerance and magnanimity were all a false appearance.

For the sake of reputation, I had to hold my nose and come forward.

Anyway, they are just two fools, so just keep them.

Can the royal family survive without these two

Zheng Qiao snorted coldly, secretly cursing the Queen Mother for being stupid.

It turned out that the queen mother was indeed naive.

Zheng Qiao led his troops to attack the State of Xin. The State of Geng was managed by a few trusted men, who controlled the situation remotely. There was no trouble at the beginning.

However, when Zheng Qiao's bad reputation in Xin State spread to Geng State, his confidants were more or less frightened by Zheng Qiao's cruelty and unpredictability. But at this time, the two "fools" got hold of the handle of one of his confidants. Once Zheng Qiao knew...

Not to mention what would happen to his one confidant, all the family members would have no hope of a good end. He had no choice but to take the risk and stab Zheng Qiao in the back.

Thus, there was the civil unrest in Geng State.

The civil unrest did not spread gradually.

The two "fools" made all the preparations they could and launched a mutiny overnight, catching Zheng Qiao and his group off guard.

Sibao County was in the hands of Zheng Qiao's confidants, so the prefecture naturally became the target of the rebels. The incident happened suddenly, and many refugees fled overnight without even packing their belongings.
