Chapter 153
In mid-August, the temperature is hot, and the willow branches caress the river surface with the wind, sweeping out circles of ripples.

Inside and outside the city of Chang'an, the markets were bustling and bustling, with many business travelers coming in and out. The death of the military envoy Wang Bo was not spread among the markets. old man.

It was just hearsay before, not from the generals in the army. Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, so they just listened as a joke. After all, there are many mountains, and everyone understands in their hearts.
One day later, when the news was confirmed, the entire military barracks in the western suburbs erupted, and people from Shang Ren came to suppress them, so no trouble arose.

The generals under Yuan Wang Bo had to endure it. Occasionally, when they talked about military envoys in a group, they were somewhat regretful. Some people felt aggrieved for the general, ran to the tent and spit in the direction of Chang'an Imperial City, and turned to talk to the colleagues in the tent. Robe cursed.

"... I was blind, so I fought with him from north to south, and then came to Chang'an, sat on that throne, and I was still crowded in a dilapidated tent, not worth serving for the army. But God treats us brothers who worked so hard for him as human beings?"

"Keep your voice down, the Taiwei is coming to inspect the barracks today."

A soldier pulled the opponent and pointed to the outside of the camp. It was the bright sky, and a patrolling team bowed to the few people who came over.

The leader raised his hand and waved them away, and then led the generals and personal guards behind him through several tents with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Wang's generals have always been brave, but now that they are gone, where are you going?"

He has been here for the past two days. As a Taiwei, he governs all the soldiers and horses of Qi State. No one has any objections. Even Geng Qing can't say anything about this matter. Naturally dare not resist.

"I'll wait for the captain's orders."

Shang Rang didn't answer, but just looked ahead, walked past the tent beside him, met a soldier on duty, adjusted his appearance and weapon for him, patted him on the shoulder, and continued on his way.

"Brother Wang has always been on good terms with me. Now that he is gone, I will take care of it, and no one can say anything. But in the future, you must listen to your majesty, understand?"

Several people looked at each other, stood together and clasped their fists together.

Satisfied with their attitude, Shang Rang waved his hand and asked a few people to come closer, "Don't take it to heart when the military envoy dies, because there is something else wrong here."

While speaking, he tightened his cheeks and looked back at the few people.

"Your Majesty will not kill your brother. The assassination that day, Brother Wang was ordered by me to visit the palace at night to see if His Majesty was imprisoned. The court said the day before yesterday that Geng Qing urged the army to be killed. Everything is clear. I came here today to invite all the generals to follow me to do a great event."

Several people jumped in their hearts. They couldn't think of what it was, but they still asked.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Qing's side! Then Geng Qingding put His Majesty under house arrest and wanted to do things like coercing the emperor to order the princes. How can we watch Your Majesty be humiliated when we rise up in loyalty? What's more, you don't want to avenge the military envoy?!"

King Qing's side.
For a moment, the faces of the four generals were horrified. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it required great courage. If it was true, it was easy to say that they rescued His Majesty and killed the traitor. If it was false and His Majesty was not imprisoned, then they were rebelling!

Once the incident fails, the whole family, young and old, will be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded.

"You keep saying that the military envoy has been wronged, but when it comes to the end, they shrink their necks one by one."

Shang Rang pressed the handle of the knife and raised his chin slightly, looking at the cloud drifting in the sky, the moment the words fell, his eyes narrowed, he suddenly clenched the handle of the knife, turned around and drew the knife, there was a humming sound, The light of the saber slashed at the chest of a man behind him, cutting open the armor together, and blood splashed all over his face immediately.

The remaining three were so startled that they instinctively grasped the weapons at their waists, and there were more than a dozen sounds of swords being drawn around them, and the guards surrounded them, pointing the blades at the three of them.

"To do, or not to do? You have no choice!"

Shang Rang looked at them with the tip of his knife hanging down, and his expression was serious as he spoke.

"I will finally follow the Taiwei's order." One of them hesitated for a moment, and knelt down half-kneeling, while the other two looked at the knife edge in front of them, so they could only clasp their fists and responded to Qingjun's affairs.

Shang Rang nodded in satisfaction, said some words of encouragement, and said that he knew His Majesty the best, and now that everything is abnormal, there must be a demon. After that, he pulled the three generals to assign some tasks, discussed the details, and sent them to the next place to make preparations .

Looking at the three people walking away, he felt proud, but on the surface his face was still calm, even majestic.If these things did not happen on weekdays, even if he had a good relationship with Wang Bo, he would not be able to get too close to these generals, let alone approach this military camp that does not belong to him in such a grand manner.

Soon, the camp gradually became noisy. Watching the assembled soldiers and horses start to prepare for the drill, Shang Rang watched all this coldly, and was about to go over to say a few words, when there was the sound of horseshoes outside. order to ride.

The person who came stopped the horse, jumped off the horse and ran here quickly.

"Taiwei, I have received a report that Zhu Wen, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the southeast camp, has refused the triumphant return of the Tang soldiers from Jingxiang."

"Ok?"

Shang Rang took over the information, and frowned. He was not close to Zhu Wen, even though he was an old man of the rebel army. No matter his appearance, figure, speech or character, he didn't like it, but now he understood, At this time, when the other party returns to the city, it can be won over.

At the beginning of the year, Tang Ting sent troops from the west, north, and east to attack. The west and north were all defeated. Only Zhu Wen in the southeast defeated the enemy, captured Dengzhou, and blocked Jingxiang and other southern quarters. The soldiers and horses of the Dushi provided an effective buffer for Chang'an.

Right now, the class teacher came back suddenly, which made people feel abrupt, and it also caused ripples in Chang'an, which was filled with a bright and uneasy atmosphere. As the news spread, all the Chinese and military officials in the city received the news one after another, but they did not express their opinions in a hurry, and watched quietly. The prime minister, Shang Rang, and the emperor's movements, after all, they dared to move forward only after they had identified the direction.

On the afternoon of August [-]th, when Shang Rang received the news, Geng Qing also got the information about Zhu Wen's return to court, but before that, he was talking to Princess Guangde in the mansion in Guangdefang, and at the same time Accompanied by a group of women, Yingying and Yanyan surrounded the surroundings, occasionally singing a few tunes, waving their long sleeves and frolicking and dancing.

Occasionally, he called out to Geng Qing twice as if playing a trick: "Husband." It caused other women to follow suit and screamed, and then burst into laughter.

After getting familiar with each other, Geng Qing also joked with them: "Okay, at night, I will stay here, and all the wives will call as much as they want, and then will they call together, or come one by one?"

There were some words in these words, which caused a group of little girls to blush and roll their eyes, but with Princess Guangde around, the words would not be so excessive after all.

Under the gazebo, the woman opposite Geng Qing clenched her fist on her chin and coughed twice.

Cough!

Over there, Geng Qing withdrew his gaze and landed on Princess Guangde with a serious face. He straightened his expression and said with a smile: "I was joking with them."

"Be careful, that's my nephew's concubine."

Li Huan glared at the young man opposite, her eyes didn't have much reprimand, she liked Geng Qing, of course not the kind of love between men and women, but because of her husband Yu Cong, she loved Wu Ji Wu.

Now, she is grateful for what the other party has done, avenged the son-in-law, and turned the entire Qi country upside down. This kind of kindness, Princess Guangde thinks that she is not enough, so she indulges the other party and The imperial nephew and concubine Li Xuan were joking.

However, there was one thing that worried Li Huan. The young man in front of him was less than double ten. This ability to stir up the wind and rain made her feel faintly afraid.

Calling him over today actually has another meaning.

"You just make trouble, be careful how they really look at you, how to explain to the emperor." Princess Guangde smiled, and called a woman who was fluttering butterflies over there, and asked her to go to the study to get something. Looking at Geng Qing with a grin, he put a book on the desk, made a face, and went to play with his sisters again.

"This is."

Geng Qing looked at the book on the table, picked it up and opened a page, read the content, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and closed it, it was a book about morality.

I probably understand what Princess Guangde means.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand what I'm doing. I'm actually not very capable, and I only play tricks that don't make it to the table."

Li Huan looked at him, followed with a chuckle, and still pushed the book over, using the same tone as Geng Qing, with a gentle voice.

"I don't mean to hit you. Geng Xiang, don't worry too much. You are my husband's student. According to the relationship, you have to call me mistress. Now that your teacher is gone, as a mistress, I naturally have to watch over you. I can't let you You're going astray."

"Students understand."

Mentioning the deceased Yu Cong, Geng Qing felt a little heavy in his heart, lost the intention of joking, and said a few more homely words, someone came outside and said something in a low voice.

"Zhu Wen has returned to court, Your Highness, the students are busy again."

Geng Qing smiled, got up and bid farewell, then raised her hands to the girls in the garden, and walked to the gate.Princess Guangde followed him to the side and saw him get into the carriage before turning back.

"Your Highness." Geng Qing lifted the curtain of the car to stop the woman, looked at Li Huan's bright and weathered eyes, and repeated.

"I'm not very capable, I can only play tricks and tricks, and I can't get on the stage."

Seemingly understanding, Princess Guangde nodded, watching the carriage and a group of cavalry slowly leave the street in the shaking golden hairpin.

bang bang bang~~
Amidst the sound of footsteps and horseshoes, the carriage drove across the long street, Geng Qing watched the courtyard wall of the mansion pass by with his eyes, and whispered the unfinished words behind his lips.

"...as long as you don't mess with me."

Immediately, he put down the curtain, sat upright, and gave instructions to Dachun who was driving outside.

"Go to Chunming Gate."

 There is only one chapter tonight, and I am going to finish Ruhu and start writing this book with all my strength.
