Although Zhao Kuo has suffered many defeats and was scolded for being a fool, there is no problem with integrity after all. Later, his affair with Gao Changgong surrendered to Chai Yi put a new hat on him, "Traitor!" If Chai Yi's rebellion is compared to a football game, Zhao Kuo's original behavior can be considered as a bad defender who scored an own goal, and after he decided to betray his master, he became a person who played counterfeit ball.

After that, Zhao Kuo finally took off all his own disguise. Not only did he be shameless, he even didn't want the mask he had been wearing.

In the Palace of Supreme Harmony, the Empress Dowager was chatting with his son Chai Yan. At this time, Chai Yan was very scared in his heart. He was afraid of losing everything, and he was also afraid of loneliness, so he ran to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Since Chai Lie fell into a coma, the Empress Dowager has been by his side to take care of him. She ignored the government affairs. Although she ignored the major events in the court, she knew everything about Kyoto. He knew that Chai Yi, the King of Qi, was about to come in, but she did not ask about it, and she did not attend. Instead, Chai Yan would visit her at the Palace of Supreme Harmony every now and then.

"Mother Queen!" Chai Yan said, "How are you doing recently?"

"Your Majesty, my health is OK, how are you here?" The Empress Dowager asked with a kind look. Chai Yan was her biological son. Although her son forced her husband to abdicate, she was her flesh and blood after all, and she didn't say anything.

"Mother, my son can't sleep, so I want to come over and talk to her!" Chai Yan sat next to the empress dowager and said in a low voice. At this time, he didn't look like an emperor, he was simply a child who was wronged.

"Yan'er, do you have something to tell your mother?" The empress dowager saw Chai Yan's thoughts at a glance and asked casually.

"Mother Queen..." Chai Yan wanted to speak but stopped, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"Is it Xiaoliu's business?" The empress dowager said with her own initiative. She knew very well that Chai Yan could not speak.

"Yes!" Chai Yan nodded and said aggrievedly: "Xiao Liuzi wants to seize my throne. I am no match for him at all, but I am afraid of losing the throne, and I am afraid that he will kill me. You must know that I have wanted to kill him several times before!"

"Yan'er, the queen knows that you are very scared. Don't worry, Xiaoliu will not kill you. You are brothers. You used to not understand brotherhood, but Xiaoliu is different from you. He attaches great importance to the feelings between brothers. He will not do anything to you." The queen mother comforted Chai Yan's biological mother, although she was not Chai Yi's mother, she knew Chai Yi's personality very well. No one knew about this reason.

In fact, the Empress Dowager once advised Chai Lie to change Chai Yi to the crown prince, because Chai Yi is indeed very good compared to her son, and the Empress Dowager is very clear, so for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she did not hide her selfishness and let her son become the emperor. She also knew that her son's personality was not that material at all.

But even so, as the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the queen of the world, she still didn't want Chai Yi to obtain the throne by using such means, which would have a great impact on his reputation. Just like her son Chai Yan usurped the throne, there are still many rumors that his throne is not coming from.

She also clearly analyzed the current situation. Chai Yan has reached the end of his life, and no one can fight Chai Yi.

"Mother, do you say that the sixth son will kill me if he captures Kyoto?" Chai Yan asked timidly in the empress dowager's arms.

"Yan'er, don't worry, the sixth son will not kill you. Even if he wants to kill your mother, your father will not agree. Your father's knight still loves you, otherwise he could have resisted when you usurped the throne, but he did not, but chose to fulfill you." The queen mother said earnestly.

Although Chai Yan was unsure, the Empress Dowager's words did give him some psychological comfort. At this time, he had already begun to want to open the city gate and let Chai Yi come in. After all, everything in the palace did not belong to him.

Then, Chai Yan and the Empress Dowager said a lot more. Seeing that it was getting dark and the empress dowager was tired, Chai Yan said goodbye and left. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

In the Qi army camp, Chai Yi sat upright on everyone, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Cheng Yaojin and other main generals were on both sides.

"Your Highness, the morale of the army in Kyoto is very low. Should we take the opportunity to attack and annihilate the 100,000 troops in the city in one fell swoop?" Li Kui said excitedly.

Who is the happiest person to say that Chai Yi is the emperor? Li Kui is undoubtedly one of them.

"No hurry!" Chai Yi shook his head and said, "Tieniu, it's not too late for us to wait any longer. I believe that we can take Kyoto in less than three days! Now wait for the news!"

"News? What news?" Li Kui asked with his eyes rolled.

Chai Yi said: "Of course it's our people in Kyoto City!" Chai Yi was naturally referring to Gao Changgong's senior spies. Chai Yi has been communicating with Gao Changgong these days, and he wanted to conquer Kyoto without any effort!

"Is there anyone in Kyoto?" Li Kui asked weakly.

Chai Yi looked at him with a smile, but did not answer his words.

The next day, the battle drums were beating in front of the Qi army.

Chai Yi rode a little white horse, and came down to the Zhuque Gate with cold-blooded and ruthless iron hands.

"See Your Highness!" Gao Changgong on the city tower saluted Chai Yi.

"Chang Gong! You have become a general after not seeing you for a few years! I am envious!" Chai Yi smiled faintly.

Gao Changgong smiled slightly and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate! Welcome His Highness the King of Qi into the city!"

"Yes!" The soldiers heard Gao Changgong's order and opened the Suzaku Gate without thinking.

When the city gate opened, Chai Yi led the Qi army to kill in. While they killed, they shouted that the surrenderers would not be killed. Soon, many of the imperial guards in Kyoto had surrendered. The food was burned by Li Xunhuan. Even if they wanted to continue to resist, they had no food to eat. There was no way, so they had to surrender.

Who would have thought that the Suzaku Gate would be opened directly? After Zhang Juzheng received the news, he hurriedly led a large army to block the attack. But there were only 30,000 people in his hands.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng coming towards him, Chai Yi immediately ordered: "Let the artillery gather to come and die, kill them for me!"

Only one step away from success, whoever dares to stop him will die! Chai Yi was completely determined to kill!

"The last general will receive the order!!!"

At this time, Chai Yi's ten cannons had been pushed over. The black hole barrel was aimed at Zhang Juzheng and the 30,000 elite cavalry beside him.

When Zhang Ju was facing this black thing, a sad feeling rose in his heart. "No! It's the artillery! Retreat!" Zhang Juzheng hurriedly turned his horse's head and began to retreat with his soldiers.
