Chapter 157: Sibling Love
A chilling scream came out of the cell. Half an hour later, Tang Bohu walked out of the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei and watched his lord come out. Tian San didn't know what was born in the cell but saw blood hanging on Tang Bohu's face.
"Sir!" Tian San came to Tang Bohu's side.
"Has Niu Er taken action?" Tang Bohu said as he walked.
"Niu Er's side has moved." Tian San replied: "Sir, will it really happen if we do this?"
Tang Bohu didn't say anything, Tian San had to follow him and walked along the way to the palace. There were few Taoists here, and there were many fallen leaves along the way.
A group of Jinyiwei followed Tang Bohu. Just as everyone came to the center of this depressing path, people in black appeared around them, with swords in their hands covering their faces.
"Are you anxious so quickly?" Tang Bohu said coldly.
Swish!
For a moment, all the Jinyiwei pulled out the embroidered spring sword and looked at the ambush around him to verify it.
"Sir, be careful!" Tian San protected Tang Bohu behind him.
"Kill them all!" Tang Bohu whispered his order!
kill!
With a roar, dozens of Jinyiwei fought with these men in black. Tang Bohu was filled with mixed feelings when he saw this scene. Xu Pu was so impatient? How brave had the officials of the Ming Dynasty reached?
The Jinyiwei who followed Tang Bohu had seen human lives. From Donghaiwei to Liaodong, each of them carried a life debt on their hands, knowing how to kill people in one blow and how to make the other party die in the shortest time. These assassins are different. They have not experienced wars, and at most they are just working hard to collect money.
Tian San cut down the last assassin and said to Tang Bohu: "Sir, you have cleaned up."
Tang Bohu nodded and walked forward. After walking out of this alley, it was on the avenue of the capital. It was very lively here, but compared with the bloodstains on the Jinyiwei's body, these Jinyiwei were so incompatible with the peaceful residents of the capital.
Li Dongyang stood here and saw Tang Bohu coming and laughing, "Tang Bohu, do you have to participate in this matter?"
"Your name cannot be violated!" Tang Bohu sighed and said, "I have to do it."
"I understand." Li Dongyang made way and asked Tang Bohu to go over and continued, "I just have something to ask for."
"Old Ge Lao Li, it's okay." Tang Bohu stopped and said respectfully.
Li Dongyang looked at the direction of the palace and said, "Please keep Xu Pu's life. After all, he is an old minister of the three dynasties! To the Ming Dynasty, he has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty in his cabinet. How many people aim to Xu Pu and how many people worship Xu Pu's disciples. Although your Jinyiwei is a hawk, don't let officials in the world feel upset."
"I'll do my best!" Tang Bohu said and continued walking forward.
The guard standing in front of the palace gate saw Tang Bohu coming and went forward and said, "The Queen has been waiting in the front hall for a long time. Lord Tang, please follow me."
Nodding, Tang Bohu walked to the palace. Logically speaking, except for the emperor, other men could not enter the harem! The queen seemed to know that Tang Bohu was coming, so she had moved to the front hall to wait for Tang Bohu's arrival.
"My memory, Tang Bohu, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, has seen the queen!" Tang Bohu knelt on one knee and said.
"Have you seen my brother?" Queen Zhang sat in the seat and looked at Tang Bohu. Although she looked very calm on the surface, her fingers on the table were trembling slightly unconsciously, which was a nervousness that she could not hide.
"The officials have indeed met Shouning Hou." Tang Bohu replied.
"Yeah!" Queen Zhang wanted to get the teacup, but she couldn't help but tremble her fingers. She put down the teacup and looked at her hands unhappily. She hadn't slept peacefully for several days. Since Shouning Hou was taken back to the capital, her heart has been very worried.
"How is my brother?" the queen asked again.
Tang Bohu explained in a plain tone: "Shouninghou is all fine, but it is just to get him out of here and ask for it to pay some price."
Queen Zhang said: "Your Majesty told me about your ability. Tang Bohu, you can escape from the life-threatening Donghaiwei, use the layout of Japan and Goryeo, and allow the dilapidated Liaodong to gain a foothold on the edge of the grassland! You are a capable person, so what do you want me to do this time."
"The emperor also wants the queen to pay some price, but this price may be a bit difficult!" Tang Bohu continued: "As long as the queen can take a step back, it is actually not difficult at all."
"Why should I take a step back?" Queen Zhang's tone was angry.
Tang Bohu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, take a step back and the sky is wide open. This is good for His Majesty, the Queen, and the Hou of Shouning!"
"What should I do?" Queen Zhang compromised.
"When Your Majesty is in court, Empress Zhang apologizes to Your Majesty in front of all officials and voluntarily leave the position of Empress in the harem." Tang Bohu said.
"Leave the position of queen in the harem?" Queen Zhang held her fist tightly, "Tang Bohu, are you going to let me play with fire? Do you know how much effort I have lost for the position of queen. Now you want me to withdraw from the harem in one sentence!"
"Of course the queen doesn't have to do this, nor does she have to take this risk. But if the queen does this, the lower-ranking officials cannot guarantee that the Housing Hou can survive such a winter!" Tang Bohu continued: "Although the lower-ranking officials cannot let the queen suppress Xu Pu, at most they can only suffer both losses."
"My brother is the last bloodline of my Zhang family..." Queen Zhang said in pain: "Please leave your destiny."
"I'm leaving." Tang Bohu bowed and left.
After walking out of the suppressed Forbidden City, Tang Bohu was ready for everything.

The next morning
Xu Pu still did not come to court. When Zhu Youzhang listened to the reports of the six ministers of the ministers, Empress Zhang came here for the first time to ask for an audience with His Majesty.
When the ministers saw Empress Zhang suddenly come to the court, they were surprised.
"Summon the Empress into the Palace." Zhu Youzhang said to the people around him.
The guards let go, and Empress Zhang came to the court in panic. Under the eyes of all officials, she suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "I am not good at discipline. Please depose the queen like me!"
Hearing her words, the whole court exploded and the ministers were talking.
"Queen, why are you here?" Zhu Youting looked at his wife in pain.
At the same time, a eunuch came to the hall with a blood letter and shouted: "Your Majesty! Hou Shouning cut off his finger in prison and wrote this blood letter to prove the queen's innocence!"
Cut off one finger? Blood letter? Innocence?
Queen Zhang turned her head blankly and saw the bloody finger on the wooden box held by the eunuch. Her face was pale in an instant. She wanted to speak a few times and then fainted.
