Qin Huaimian opened his eyes wide, just like the auditory hallucination of chess pieces falling on the board. Suddenly, the best friend from Guangdefang came to mind. Such a big movement, it is impossible for the other party to not make any moves. With his temperament
"Your Majesty"

Qin Huaimian blurted out this word, the emperor over there was enjoying the feeling of Jiang Xuanhui's slump, he didn't hear the words of "Your Majesty" at all, he just took two steps forward and raised his hand.

"Where is the Longxiang Army, come up and escort them!"

"The dragon army is here!"

A majestic voice resounded through the cavalry formation below. The first general dismounted and dragged his knife and strode up the stone steps. The thick blade scraped off the powder on the stone steps, and the soldiers of the surrounding guards stepped aside one after another. Tall, with iron armor all over his body, he squeezed away the slightly thin Jiang Xuanhui, leaned on the rock brick with the knife pole, and half knelt down.

"Yang Huaixiong, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Longxiang Army, pays homage to His Majesty—"

Li Ye's smile froze, staring at the unfamiliar face, hesitantly squeezed out a word: "Where is General Li Shunjie?"

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!" Yang Huaixiong stood up, his face solemnly pushed to one side, someone from below brought something up quickly, and his voice was bold and loud.

"The general wants to imitate Longyou's actions and attack the city in the chaos. The minister has already beheaded him. Here is the head. Please check it with Your Majesty!"

"what?!"

Li Ye and a group of civil and military men showed fear, and subconsciously cast their gazes into the hands of the soldiers who came up, and saw a man with a bloodless head being lifted up.

hiss~
The crowd was full of breaths, and even Jiang Xuanhui, who was pushed aside, was in a daze. Looking at the strong man in front of him, it was difficult to tell whether it was a friend or an enemy for a while.

"How is Your Majesty?"

At this moment, a clear and neutral voice came from below. A carriage came over at some unknown time and stopped in the cavalry formation. The curtain was lifted, and a tall, thin, dark-skinned man came down from the carriage with a smile on his face. Taking small steps with their hands behind their backs, they walked up unhurriedly, and the cavalrymen of the Longxiang Army who cleared the way respectfully parted from both sides, pushing the soldiers of Suweidu further inside.

"Shang Shuling" Jiang Xuanhui's mind was buzzing, he raised his hands in confusion, and was about to speak, when Geng Qing came up and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, the privy envoys are all concerned for King Liang. When Geng heard that something happened to the command envoy, he rushed over immediately. Fortunately, His Majesty is fine, and everything will be dealt with right now."

Jiang Xuanhui hesitated for a moment, but when he saw thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, he smacked his lips and chose to close his mouth.

"Geng Qing."

Right now, watching the other party come out from the Dragon Army, how could Li Ye still not understand the whole story, he opened his hands and squeezed them slightly trembling.

In his mouth, he still said: "I'm sorry Gengqing came here, and all the commanders fell off the horse and died. It's not because there are villains causing trouble in the palace, so there is no need for such a big move."

"Your Majesty said so, and the minister is relieved. The commander is the nephew of Liang Wang, who is also the general of the imperial court. Such an unknown death makes people suspicious. Are you right, Privy Envoy?"

And my business?
Jiang Xuanhui had already chosen to shut up, but he did not expect to lead the conversation to his side, but he led the troops into the palace for this reason, so he nodded and echoed: "Shang Shuling said that is indeed the case."

Geng Qing smiled at him and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the former Prime Minister Zhang Jun was beheaded by the Commander-in-Chief of the capital early this morning. He would not kill a family for no reason. What a big enmity that is. But as far as I know, Prime Minister Zhang Jun and the Commander-in-Chief have nothing to do with each other. How can we talk about enmity? In this way, the commander must have some evidence of Zhang Xiang's crime in his hands. He killed the other party today and led his troops into the court. He just didn't know what he said to you in the court and asked some questions. What?! Then... died in the palace for no apparent reason, no one would be suspicious of whoever it was."

Jiang Xuanhui naturally knew about Zhang Jun's family being killed by Zhu Youlun. He didn't take it to heart if he was a good-for-nothing. He just thought that the other party couldn't see it.

Over there, a group of civil and military people dare not speak when they are questioned, their faces are pale and full of cold sweat, this is not easy to answer, what Zhu Youlun said in the court must not be hidden, you can ask the guards and eunuchs in the palace to know, but once If you take the words over, it will be confirmed that some of them are doing something wrong.

"It seems that you are unwilling to say anything."

Geng Qing was not worried about someone's retaliation, his eyes swept across the pale faces, and when he saw Qin Huaimian, he turned his eyes away and started walking with his hands behind his back.

".However, two days ago, the commander of the capital came to Geng's mansion. He mentioned some things to his subordinates. It seems that some people in the city are dissatisfied with King Liang."

He squinted his eyes, missed a shoulder with Li Ye, and paused in one sentence: ".I intend to control the city, occupy the palace, and imprison Your Majesty while King Liang is not in Chang'an."

Li Ye's body on the side trembled violently, and the hearts of all the civil and military officials behind him were raised in their throats. Those who participated in it, such as Zhang Wenwei, Cui Yuan and others, could hardly stand up.

"What on earth are you going to do?" Li Ye turned his neck vigorously and looked at him with gritted teeth.

"Of course it's to help His Majesty catch those with evil intentions."

The figure who was two steps away, turned his back to Li Ye, and slowly turned his face, his eyes were sharp, like an eagle watching a wolf Gu Zhixiang, "So that Your Majesty can be the emperor with peace of mind."

After saying that, he turned around abruptly, Geng Qing looked at the officials, his voice sounded again, and he waved his hand violently: "Qin Huaimian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you intend to murder His Majesty, and the commander of the murderer, I have suspected this matter for a long time, someone, come and take him down -"

Among the crowd, Qin Huaimian showed shock. He never expected Geng Qing to say such words. In an instant, Yang Huaixiong led several cavalry up, dragged him out of the crowd and tied him up with ropes. Qin Huaimian did not resist , his lips were moving, he stared at Geng Qing with fierce eyes in astonishment and sluggishly, unable to utter a word, and was dragged away with one step and two turns.

"Your Majesty, the matter is over, you can go back to the palace for dinner."

A light and fluttering voice sounded from Geng Qing, like a vicious blade piercing into his heart, which made Li Ye almost faint, and stood there for a long time, until Zhu Youlun's body was carried away and the soldiers and horses withdrew from the palace, he was killed by several The soldiers carried them to the back garden.

Seeing the expectant queen, Li Ye sat on the edge of the bed and wept softly.

White clouds pass by the window.

In the thousands of huge cities, the sun is shining slightly obliquely through the dilapidated small windows, sprinkled on the damp and dark prisons.

With the sound of chains dragging, Tu Shifei opened the cell door and came in. He squatted in front of the burly scholar in a daze in the corner, and handed over a jug of wine he bought.

"Actually, Shang Shuling is protecting you."

He said so.

The wind blows through the dilapidated small skylight, Guangdefang under the sky and clouds, Geng Qing, who returned to the study, was stained with ink, writing each handwriting on the clean white paper.

".Why do you want to arrest Lao Qin?" Jiuyu looked at the back of the writer in puzzlement when he heard the news. He was not in a hurry to wait for an explanation, but he still couldn't help asking.

"save him."

"When Zhu Youlun dies, all civil and military officials in the dynasty will suffer. It is better to arrest him than to be beheaded."

Geng Qing looked at the content gradually clarified on the paper, put down the brush, blew on the ink, let it dry for a while, and asked someone to put it in an envelope, sent it to the Privy Council, and handed it over to Zhu Wen in Bianzhou.

Zhu Youlun died in the palace, and the civil, military and emperors of the Manchu Dynasty were not spared.

"Didn't you say it before, it's not good to be bloody, look, we don't need to take action now, someone will finish it."

He wiped his hands, threw Juanpa casually on the table, and went to supervise his son's studies.
