Si Tian Guan

    One scoop of water was emptied, and another scoop, obviously running out of patience, only half of the water was poured, and the scoop was thrown back into the bucket.

    Mu Jingyan was sitting on the steps, surrounded by familiar and boring walls, and the autumn tigers were sunning on his head, adding to his irritability.

    He even had an illusion that he could only be trapped in this corner for the rest of his life, unable to escape. This thought appeared more and more frequently, and no distraction could drive it away.

    Although he tried his best not to admit it, he had to face the fact that he had never shown such cowardice before when he was standing on three feet with King Ning and King Qi. He has already fallen into this field.

    Mu Jingyan stretched out his hand into the bucket, the cool well water calmed down and was irritable, and was about to get up when he saw someone hurried outside the door.

    "Your Highness, something happened to King Ning!"

    He took the letterhead handed over, glanced at it quickly, and was shocked: "Why did he run away? He is crazy! Isn't this courting death!"

    The idea of ​​a fool is really not something he can understand.

    "I...I didn't tell you..." He was a little confused, wishing he could tear up the letter.

    No matter what happened between King Ning and the Empress Dowager, the Tang family and the emperor were already in a stalemate.

    More importantly, from the emperor's attitude towards King Ning, he was keenly aware of his attitude towards the Tang family, which was beneficial but harmless to him.

    But he did all the calculations, he thought he could reap the profits no matter what, but he didn't count the fool running away.

    This is a felony!

    "Your Highness, it is said that Liu Chongming went to see King Ning once before." The man was afraid of angering him, so he said softly, "But he came out soon after, so no one should do anything. I found out this morning that King Ning is gone!"

    "Then why are you talking about it now!" Mu Jingyan looked at the afternoon sun and roared: "What have you all been doing for so long!"

    "Your Highness forgive me!" The man hurriedly knelt down: "The rotation in the palace is strict now, and the news could not be sent out immediately. When people outside get the news, King Ning has already left the city, look... look The direction is to go to Shili Pavilion…”

    Mu Jingyan's breath stopped, unable to believe it: "Does King Ning want to force the palace? Where did he get the courage? Did Liu Chongming instigate him to force the palace..."

    Before he finished speaking, he fully reacted.

    "Liu Chongming's heart is so poisonous! Mu Jingzhao, this idiot, can actually believe it! I don't know if his death is imminent! No..."

    "Hurry up! Hurry up and get someone to catch up with Mu Jingzhao! Stop him while you can turn around! Hurry up and send someone to inform the Tang family..."

    A strange voice interrupted his words. At first, it seemed like flies were flapping their wings in his ears, or something was pushing the air, and it came in waves like water.

    Mu Jingyan had never heard this kind of sound in her own home. After looking around with that person for a long time, she suddenly reacted and looked up at the sky suddenly, inexplicably frightened.

    "That's... what! What's that!"

    At this time, not only Mu Jingyan, but everyone inside and outside the capital looked up blankly, looking at the dark clouds hovering in the sky.

    The dark cloud is that many giant birds circled and gathered overhead, and there seemed to be people riding on it.

    Although it is still in the unreachable sky, the terrifying and pressing momentum is coming oncoming, as if the huge wings are about to be photographed on the head in the next moment.

    The sharp screeching in the air shook everyone's ears, and some people in the street couldn't help kneeling.

    "It's a god...a mount of a god!"

    "What is that?" The people who were speeding outside the city could see it clearly.

    The man who followed King Ning frowned all the time, worried about this sudden investigation, but could not do anything.

    It is his duty to obey, not to mention that King Ning is the only master of the Tang family.

    But the master's order, he did not dare not listen, but he did not dare to listen.

    He kept asking questions along the way, but King Ning was more in a hurry than him, so he just answered him impatiently—this time, I will take you a big credit! It's too late!

    He looked back at the thousands of soldiers and horses behind him. The closer he got to the city gate, the more uneasy he felt.

    Not waiting for him to ask, he heard King Ning exclaim: "What is that?!"

    "That's..." Before he could see the flying kites in the sky, the slowly closing city gate in the distance made his anxiety and fear rise to the top: "My lord! The city gate is closed! Hurry up! Back off!"

    Mu Jingzhao's reins were forcibly pulled. Before he could react, he was shocked and angry: "I'll be there soon! Rush in for me! Someone is there to meet us! Soon..."

    The city gates were completely closed with the sound of Jikuo falling. On the city wall, someone looked at them with their hands behind their backs, and the broken hair and robe sleeves were flying in the air stirred by flying kites, as if the heavens were exiled Immortals descended from the mortal world.

    Qingjun is beautiful, but his eyes are indifferent as if he is looking at dead things.

    "It's Qu Shenzhou!" King Ning straightened up, pushed his helmet with his hand, pointed upwards, and scolded: "Send arrows! Quickly release arrows for me! Shoot him to death!"

    As if hearing his roar, Qu Chenzhou took out the bright red flag from his sleeve, hooked the corner of his lips lightly, and pointed down.

    Thousands of flying kites hovering at the heights swooped down.

    "Your Highness! Run! Run back!"

    For a moment, the arrows fell like rain from the sky, and there was no way to avoid it.

    The days that have been sunny for a few months are bleak again.

    No one expected that the assassination of the Queen Mother would end in this way.

     King Ning fled the palace privately, intending to lead an army to rebel, but was shot by random arrows and died outside the city.

    The Tang family, who had gradually gained the upper hand, not only had no room to open their mouths, but even those who fought for King Ning and the emperor in the past were in a state of panic.

    This turmoil is far from what it was last year when King Qi was released.

    Although I saw that the emperor's mood and body were getting better, the morning time was shortened, and more people were silent, conveying anxiety and fear with their eyes.

    The weather has changed again.

    The skeleton of King Ning who was smashed under the horse's hoof has not yet been found, and the little prince in Lijing Palace, who has not been over a hundred days old, was conferred the title of Prince Rui.

    Liu Qingchi, the third son of the Liu family, entered the Hanlin Academy, and he was given to Xiu to write one, and the general of the Bai family was promoted to Delang.

    Although none of the gifts mentioned Liu Chongming's name, during the banquet, Liu Chongming's seat was naturally pushed to the main seat.

    However, there is never only one proud person in the DPRK.

    Even before the conferring of Prince Rui, the emperor gave Qu Sitian the waist cards of the left and right Jinwuwei in front of the civil and military officials.

    In this way, all the four departments in the patrol palace belong to Qu Sitian's palm.

    When I went down to court, although everyone said congratulations, they didn't want to stay in front of this upstart.

    Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, but in word of mouth, the screams outside the city gate became more and more terrifying. It is said that after seeing the giant birds fly away, someone heard the surviving people outside the city gate crying frantically.

    "Ghost! Ghost!"

    So far no one understands what those things are and what happened that day, but they all know one thing - the iron and copper walls guarding Dayu are General Bai, which can be blocked in front of the emperor The solid barrier of , is Qu Sitian.

     Not to mention the terrifying power that Qu Sitian obtained from nowhere, no one can stop him.

    On the other side, the crime of drunken bone incense fell back to the queen, Song Zhaoyi returned to the position of Concubine Yu, and King Huai was given a lot of property to lift the ban.

    Compared with the previous two upstarts, this movement did not even make a splash.

    In the arena of the contest, the candidates have been changed, and many people are secretly guessing that the key to who will win the final game is who can win Qu Sitian.

    "Want me?" Qu Chenzhou turned the charcoal pen on his fingertips a few times, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "You let me out?"

    Liu Chongming took off his cloak, threw it directly on the ground, and fell on the bed on his back, unable to answer.

    "If a fool says that, I'll push the boat along the way. Stupid or not, who has lived enough and wants to win you over under the emperor's eyes."

    Qu Chenzhou glanced at the west-sloping sun and sneered: "Since you are afraid of the emperor's doubts, you can honestly stay in the room below and run into my bed, what do you mean?"

    Liu Chongming didn't want to open his eyes, he opened his arms and called him lazily: "Fox cub."

    The chest sank, and he held the baby in his arms.

    "Just so tired?"

    "You have benefited from it, and you are enjoying the blessings. I am exhausted." He sighed: "The hat of rebellion is buckled, and only a Tang family can calm down."

    "I have tried many people these days, but I haven't slept much."

    "When people get crazy, they really bite everything. Many of them have nothing to do with it. They really won them all. It's too much trouble."

    "It's inconvenient for me to find you, so I can only rely on a few of them in private, and I also asked Lin Xiang and my father. It can't be said that there is no difference, at least one less is one."

    His hand caressed the soft line of the back.

    "Shen Zhou, am I too naive - but a life is a family, and the emperor is just suspicious. I don't want to see what happened to the Liu family in the past..."

    A finger gently stroked his lips.

    "You are too naive. It is said that once you succeed, your bones will die. Since you have decided to take the heir, you are still afraid of killing people?"

    Liu Chongming was a little ashamed, but still insisted: "Many are pillars, fighting in the nest is a fight, but you can't destroy yourself. When the building is about to collapse, no one can escape."

    The finger slid across the bridge of his nose, stroked his eyes, and turned to gently rub his temples.

    "Chongming, you have this sobriety and disposition, and it's not a waste of our efforts. In the future, teach Lan'er well, Dayu has taken such a long detour, it's time to do something serious. "

    Qu Chenzhou was about to get up, but was pressed on his chest again, so he could only helplessly circle his eyes twice with a charcoal pen.

    "It's time for me to go back to the palace, don't make trouble."

     King Huai?"

    Qu Chenzhou sneered, and actually drew a few more strokes from the collarbone down.

    "You see that too?"

    "I see." Liu Chongming responded slowly, as if enjoying it very much: "There are so many implicated in the Tang family case, but there is only one implicated in the booklet, and the reason is not enough, so I am There's nowhere to start."

    Qu Shenzhou sighed.

    "That's what matters. People are divided into groups. King Huai is good at making trouble behind the scenes. Those talents he makes good use of are the real rotten roots of Dayu, and they are too well hidden."

     "Don't say that King Huai won't be as dizzy as King Ning and make big mistakes. Even if there is a mistake, these people can catch him up."

    "This time the emperor and the Tang family faced each other because of the murder of the empress dowager. They must have added fuel to the fire. Otherwise, why would the emperor make up his mind to eradicate the Tang family."

    Liu Chongming agrees with these statements.

    "There is a possibility. Rong Jiu'an said that the emperor had been persuaded by Lin Xiang and intended to let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple intervene, but he changed his mind after hearing something."

    "To shake King Huai, these people must..."

    He felt a chill on his chest, and he saw that the placket was open all the way down, so he wanted to block it.

    "Little madman, it's cold."

    Qu Chenzhou opened his hand: "The prince is so stingy, isn't it mine? I can't even look at it?"

    Liu Chongming half propped himself up with his elbows, watching the little madman take out the things, and swiping with charcoal a few times like a joke.

    "How can I write in such a small place?"

    Liu Chongming has seen strong winds and waves, and he is cheeky and unmoved: "Because you don't love it, if you look more, the place to write will be bigger..."

    The smooth black hair suddenly fell on the skin.

    "Fuck you...I didn't let you..."

      a bit.

    Qu Chenzhou was pulled to his chest by him, licked the soft Adam's apple a few times, and placed a charcoal pen between them, stopping the dry-mouthed Shizi, and kept going to Draw below.

    "If the prince is happy, is there no place for me to write?"

    Before Liu Chongming reached out and grabbed it, the dark charcoal had already drawn on the spot.

    "Qu," Qu Chenzhou wiped the water marks with his clothes, scratched it with his fingernails on purpose, and then heard a muffled groan, then chuckled and picked up the pen and wrote: "Qu, Shen , Zhou. The prince is mine now."

    He was picked up and rubbed in his palm.

    "Little fox, have you written enough?"

    Liu Chongming turned over and pressed him on the pillow.

    "Then I will return these three words... to the original owner."
