Chapter 41

The people from Nanfengxuan and Hongxiu Pavilion are gone, Jiang Dezhong has left, and Lu Li has also been sent out. They obviously don't have many people in total, but the huge imperial palace has become so small because of the lack of these few people. Chill out.

Even though the sound of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year resounded throughout the sky, she still felt deserted.

On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, Qi Guang stepped into the meeting hall to start the first morning court of the new year as he did in the past.In the past four years, Qi Guang liked the morning court on the first day of the first lunar month the most, because civil and military officials rushed back to celebrate the new year, and the morning court on this day was just a formality.

She stepped on the jade steps and boarded the dragon chair.

The courtiers bowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live".

She said: "Everyone's family is in peace."

Qi Guang slowly glanced at all the civil and military officials present, and when she looked back, she rubbed the center of her brows, showing an impatient look.This was Qi Guang's most frequent expression in the early court in the past half month, and the courtiers underneath had gotten used to it besides feeling a headache.

At this time, a servant hurried in outside the door, shouting: "Your Majesty! It's not good! It's not good! Many cavalry suddenly poured into the palace, and they are now rushing towards the meeting hall."

Qi Guang looked at Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan smiled slightly at her.

Qi Guang saw many strangers pouring into the meeting hall, and the leader raised his sword and shouted: "Get rid of the tyrant, calm the hearts of the people!" Thousands of people behind him shouted in unison, majestic and deafening, as if they were about to break through the roof of the meeting hall. beam.

She was so familiar with such a scene.

At the beginning, the mother was like this except the father was in charge.

Qi Guang smiled wryly: "It really isn't that the whole family doesn't come in." She said this so softly that only she could hear it.But in a short moment, Qi Guang lost all expression, she slapped the armrest and stood up abruptly.

"Why is the widow so violent? It's just taking the beauty, building a high platform, and punishing loyal officials. What's wrong with the emperor doing these things? The whole Zhou Dynasty belongs to the widow, and the widow can do whatever he wants!"

Someone below was shouting again: "Get rid of the tyrant, peace of mind!" Qi Guang was finally carried into the dungeon of the palace.

Back then, my mother rebelled against her because of the relationship between husband and wife, and she never sent her father to the dungeon.It's better now, I don't know how long it took me to cultivate the relationship between siblings a hundred years ago, and maybe in Qi Xuan's heart, the relationship between siblings is not worth mentioning.

With a heavy sigh, she drove away the rat nestled on the straw, and sat down.

She looked around.

I saw that the dungeon was dark and damp, and there was a faint sour smell.

Qi Guang said to himself: "It's better than I imagined, and it's not like I can't stay here." She glanced at the big mouse that was going around, and smiled: "At least there is a mouse with me." , growing so strong, he must have eaten a lot of things in recent years."

The Shuoshu squeaked.

Qi Guang didn't meet Qi Xuan until the next morning.

The jailer opened the dungeon, Qi Xuan bent over and walked in, looking down at Qi Guang who was sitting on the ground.Qi Guang yawned and said, "Brother, the dungeon is cold, please give me a quilt. If you give me a quilt, I will give you the imperial decree to pass on the throne. In this way, you will be justified To ascend to the throne, rather than in the name of treason, bear the infamy and ascend to that position, and it will be infamous for thousands of years in the future."

Qi Xuan was silent for a moment.

He said: "Since I was a child, my mother has been partial to you. She has never paid attention to me and forced me to learn things I don't like. I can only watch helplessly as you learn the art of emperor under the teaching of your mother. But you But I don’t cherish it, I am idle all day long, I am much better than you in schoolwork, but my mother never praised me, and in the end she still passed the position to you.”

He added: "I know all of this is your conspiracy, you have what I want, but you just pretend not to care in front of me, pretend that none of this is what you like, pretend that everything is mother imposed upon you."

Qi Guang was startled.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Qi Xuan said expressionlessly: "Here it is again, you have always looked innocent since you were a child."

He looked at her and said, "When I was a child, you and I fought in Qingxin Pavilion. In the end, you know why I couldn't stay here for half a month? My health has always been good, no worse than yours. It's all yours, it's all yours." Wrong, mother is partial to you, she only hit you 12 boards, but I hit 12 boards, [-] boards a day, for five full days. You said that you would give way to me, so I grew up You said it no less than five times. The first time you told me, you were [-] years old, and you had such a scheming when you were only [-] years old. After you finished speaking that day, you came to threaten me that night. "

Qi Xuan could not forget.

At the age of 12, my elder sister took his hand with a smile and said, "Brother, I don't want to sit on the throne. But my mother should want me to sit. Why don't I pass the throne to you after I ascend the throne? Brother Smarter than me, he must be more suitable for this position than me."

He was moved.

However, that night, he heard his elder sister and his mother say: "Mother, my younger brother also wants to sit on the throne. I told him today that I will pass the throne to him when I ascend the throne, and he readily agreed. Mother, you see , as soon as I tested brother, I showed such thoughts."

There was no ups and downs in the mother's tone.

"If he wants to rebel, he will be terminated directly. It is related to the throne, and the family relationship is false."

After that, Qi Xuan was beaten again.

He was dizzy from the beating, and he heard his elder sister's triumphant laughter in a daze: "Let's see if you dare to take my place in the future."

Qi Guang was confused.

She said: "I really don't know what you are talking about. I never threatened you, and I would never do such a thing, and I never said those things. What you hear is what you see. You just listen If I said it, then have you ever seen me?"

Qi Xuan said coldly: "Sophistry!"

Qi Guang sighed: "Brother, believe it or not, I have never done it anyway. Forget it, you don't need to give me the quilt. I have already drawn up the imperial decree to pass on the throne and put it on the second shelf of the imperial study. You Get it yourself."

At this time, someone walked quickly.

Qi Guang looked up, it was Zhou Muqing.Zhou Muqing glanced at her slowly, and said to Qi Xuan: "Your Majesty, the night is getting dark, and the dragon's body is the most important thing."

Qi Xuan said "hmm" lightly.

After Zhou Muqing sent Qi Xuan away, he turned back, and the palace servants behind him hugged a quilt.

Zhou Muqing walked into the dungeon with his arms in his arms, and laid it down beside Qi Guang.

He looked at her and said, "You don't seem to be surprised at all?"

Qi Guang smiled and said: "The friendship of the past few years is worth it in exchange for this quilt." She shook off the quilt, wrapped her shivering body, sniffed, and said, "The night is dark , Zhou Langzhong, please come back."

He was silent for a while, and said: "Today, His Majesty promoted me to an official position, and I went to the Ministry of War."

Qi Guang was stunned.

Zhou Muqing said: "The friendship of the past few years, I understand you, but you never understand me. I like the Ministry of War more than the Ministry of Households. I think you have never noticed that I know martial arts in the past few years, and I like to play with knives and guns." .Recently, you have been acting so violently. You must have known about the treason and guessed that I am an internal agent. I know that you are sincerely for the good of His Majesty, but no one accepts your favor."

He spoke so calmly.

Qi Guang suddenly smiled and said, "Ah Qing, I always thought that the reason why you hate me is because I ruined your career a few years ago. But until today I finally understand that the reason why you hate me is probably because I have ruined your career for so many years. , I walked into your heart, but you never entered mine. However, Jing Heng did it, so you are not fair."

Zhou Muqing was a little annoyed immediately.

But he calmed down again immediately, and he said: "Qi Guang, you don't have to be proud, even if you hit the mark, it doesn't matter. I am His Majesty's internal response, and you don't have me in your heart, so you don't care. If the Jing Heng in your mouth is also Your Majesty I don’t know how you feel.”

Qi Guang calmly said: "I can't understand how Jing Heng is. You don't have to pick a wedge."

Zhou Muqing smiled lightly.

"He may not be able to understand your intentions. Qi Guang, Qi Guang, you have done so much, how many people accept your favor? You are afraid that His Majesty will be angry with him and send him to the Wanhe Mountain Villa in the suburbs. Right?"

Qi Guang's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Muqing said: "He has already returned."

He looked at Qi Guang's expression, and said: "I might as well tell you that Lu Li is indeed His Majesty's internal response. I didn't expect it at first. Until later, His Majesty had a small meeting in the mansion, and I saw it with my own eyes. He finally confirmed that I was on the same boat as him. Do you know why he wants to rebel?"

Qi Guang lowered his eyes.

He said: "Do you know how Lu Ren died? Yes, as you think, he was killed by the first emperor. The reason why he rebelled was to avenge the killing of his father. Qi Guang, the revenge of killing his father is unshakable." , Do you really think that he will really like you? You are wrong, really wrong. "

Qi Guang said: "It's right or it's wrong, I will tell the difference, I don't need to bother you."

After a pause, she said again, "I believe him."
