When Han Cheng sat down, he saw Qi Zhuyin on his left. He weighed his sleeves and said, "When is the commander going to return to Qidong? It's raining suddenly during the Qingming Festival.
The eunuch next to Qi Zhuyin was pouring wine. The cups in the palace were exquisite and elegant, and the amber-colored wine was beautiful. Qi Zhuyin turned the glass of wine, and said while looking at it: "Bianjun is in a hurry and should have left long ago, but the rain in Qidu has not stopped, and I am also worried."
Isn't it.
Han Cheng sneered in his heart, the matter is not over, how dare the cabinet let Qi Zhuyin go? The lives of Kong Qiu and the others were all tied to the Qidong garrison, so they were looking forward to removing themselves while Qi Zhuyin was staying in Qidu.
Han Cheng said to Qi Zhuyin at a distance, "Going out from the Fengshan school grounds, there is a horse road leading to Hezhou in the south. This is a newly built road, and it follows the Kailing River. The commander turned back and talked to the Ministry of War, It's faster to go from here. The Qingshu Division's battle is over, and other divisions, the garrison of the five counties in Qidong are all waiting for the commander's orders, so I'm anxious when I hear it."
Although Han Cheng was a narrow person, he was well-informed. He was able to sit at the same dining table with Cen Yu, and he also had something genuine in his stomach. He traveled a lot in local field work, and he was familiar with the road. Qi Zhuyin couldn't hide it from him.
"Wait a moment," Qi Zhuyin put down the wine glass, "It's all uncertain."
While the two of them were talking, they saw that Fei Shi, the young master, had also arrived. Fei Shi and Pan Lin are close friends. These days, because of Pan Lin's death, he became seriously ill and stopped playing. It's not easy to see him again.
Qi Zhuyin said, "Little Marquis has gone to the Eighth Camp?"
"Pan Chengzhi died. He was stimulated and suddenly became excited. He wanted to find an errand." Han Cheng drank some wine, "How can there be any vacancy in the DPRK? If the Eighth Battalion can accommodate it, I will transfer him to Spring Spring Camp has gone."
Chunquan Camp was equipped with fire cannons, and when Qi Zhuyin thought of those fire cannons of King Yi Wang of Fanzhou, she thought of the scorpions in Qidu. With a long sigh, she was finally willing to face Han Cheng and said, "Commander."
Han Cheng hurriedly leaned over to listen.
Qi Zhuyin looked solemn and said, "I'm hungry."
Han Cheng immediately laughed, and said, "The commander was not in Yedu in the past years, so I don't know that you have to padded your stomach before the banquet." He lowered his voice, "The cold food banquet is all cold food, or the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is more delicious, at that time there were Good wine and crabs, sitting in the imperial garden and watching the moon and flowers, it is very beautiful."
The two talked happily about this, until the eunuch outside the hall clearly announced that the Empress Dowager Yu drove, they got up, retreated behind the small table, knelt down and followed Kong Qiu in unison to say goodbye.
The queen dowager wore a 12-dragon and phoenix battle crown with gold inlaid jewels, earrings with eastern pearls, and she was dressed in a graceful and luxurious manner, without showing any signs of damage and fatigue. The court officials saluted again, and after the salute stopped, the crown prince Li Jianting stepped into the hall.
Qi Zhuyin's drinking capacity was average, so she chatted with Han Cheng one after another during the banquet, and Han Cheng politely declined several toasts. Han Cheng did not bring a knife, so he was cautious and kept an eye on the gate of the hall, where there were guards he had arranged.
Kong Qiu led Baiguanchao to toast the queen mother and the prince in turn. The atmosphere was lively, and Fuman directed the eunuchs to serve the dishes. The officials of the Hanlin Academy were full of witty words, and a few jokes were told so that the officials all leaned back and forth, and even the Queen Mother softened their expressions.
Li Jianting got up at the right time and held a cup to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother looked at her lovingly and said, "Good boy, like the ancestor Guangcheng, I will leave the country to you to take care of in the future, so I can rest assured."
Li Jianting is this age, how can there be a "future"
Li Jianting drank the wine while bowing, his cheeks were faintly red, and he looked shy. She told the mother of the queen mother, filial piety, and said, "The emperor's grandson is stupid, he has only a limited understanding of political affairs, and he doesn't know when he will have an epiphany.
Li Jianting has not yet participated in politics. Before the Dancheng land tax case, she listened to the official articles submitted by the cabinet in Mingli Hall. Many political affairs were indeed half-understood, but Kong Qiu, a few selfish professors, gave her an analysis and interpretation during the lectures, so these words are only It's just a scene.
The queen mother drank with Li Jianting.
Before the crown prince ascended the throne, all government affairs should be decided by the cabinet led by the auxiliary minister Kong Qiu. The power of the emperor that was exercised by the grandchild had only a symbolic right to criticize the red. The word "prompt" is said.
Li Jianting bowed and stepped back. After drinking, he paid tribute to Kong Qiu. The teachers and students saluted each other. She went back one by one, and finally came to Han Cheng in respect.
At this moment, the sound of sheng and music in the hall, the hanging curtain at the door was lowered, and the hall door was covered in shadow. Han Cheng returned the salute, and after he had finished drinking, he heard Li Jianting say, "The commander is the right-hand man of the late emperor, and he is also the governor-general of the capital army. He works carefully and works hard. I admire him very much."
As she spoke, Fu Man, who was behind her, filled up the wine again. Seeing this, Han Cheng hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness has broken the old minister."
Li Jianting smiled. The tiredness between her brows did not disappear. Such a smile was unexpectedly soft, and she joked: "The teacher is the Yuan Fu of the cabinet, and the commander is the elder Jin Yiwei. How can I favor one over the other?"
Han Cheng heard that Li Jianting put him and Kong Qiu together, and his words were flattering.
Han Cheng held the cup in both hands, faced Li Jianting, and said, "This minister is a martial artist, how dare you compare it with Yuan Fu. Your Highness, please."
Li Jianting looked at Han Cheng, covered his sleeves and drank all the wine in the cup, and Fuman filled it up again. The wine bottle she was holding was different from the wine glass. It was very deep and heavy. After the two fights, Han Cheng had already sweated a little and didn't want to drink any more.
"His Royal Highness," Han Cheng's drinking capacity is acceptable, but when he was slightly drunk, he remembered that the people outside the palace were his own, and he could not help but let his guard down, and said to Li Jianting, "His Royal Highness is still young, and government affairs are implemented according to the ruling of the cabinet, so it is inevitable that he will neglect the inquiry. Military affairs. This year, the cabinet will cut the military expenditure of the capital city. Your Highness, this is impossible. Our capital city army also has the important task of patrolling, and now we don’t even have a decent school grounds, and we have to cut military expenditures.
Kong Qiu stood diagonally behind Li Jianting, frowned upon hearing this, and stopped: "The banquet is not about government affairs, why are you complaining to His Highness about this."
Han Cheng drank the wine, held the wine bottle in his palm, smiled at Kong Qiu without smiling, and said, "Bo Ran, you have drawn up the ticket and asked me to submit. I can only express my difficulties when I meet His Highness. The Duchayuan has pressed Helianhou tightly, he is an honest man, and he has been scolded by Cen Xunyi without any dignity.
Cen Yu stood up from his little boy, first bowed to the Empress Dowager and Li Jianting, and then said to Han Cheng: "The chief impeachment of the Ducha Yuan, commonly known as the 'Yuan Guan', all the things presented are the harm of the imperial court. It is located on the northeast grain and horse road and runs through the Dicheng waterway. If there is a problem with taxation, we have to speak to the officials. The Trent case has not yet been held for a trial, and the cabinet has not really committed crimes against Helian Hou. How can you say that I forced him Is it tight? I think he is forcing the people of Trent to be tight."
The music in the hall gradually stopped, and the courtiers present were silent.
Han Cheng felt that he couldn't hang on his face. In the past, he didn't make it out, but now he holds the life of Qi Du in his hand, and Cen Yu dared to openly contradict him like this, making him angry. Han Cheng pressed down and smiled: "Xun Yi, you and I are old acquaintances, I know you, since Trent City hasn't opened a tribunal yet, it's just that the ticket has not been popular, and everything that has been played has yet to be verified. "
Marquis Helian had no soldiers and no power, and Pan Lintou had given the account to the Ministry of Household. At this moment, it seems that they are about to quarrel. They can't eat their food. They put down their chopsticks and stand up to persuade them: "The banquet is not about government affairs, not about government affairs..."
Han Cheng handed the empty bottle to the eunuch, saluted Li Jianting again, and said, "It spoiled His Highness's interest."
Li Jianting also handed the empty bottle to Fuman and said, "Why should the commander take it to heart, but—"
but
Han Cheng raised his head suspiciously.
There was a gust of wind blowing from the door of the palace, and the hanging curtain fluttered slowly. Li Jianting seemed to be in a turmoil, she raised her hand to support her temple, her fingertips touched the golden hairpin, and said clearly to Han Cheng: "The golden bottle is drinking with you, and the sword will not forgive each other."
The curtain fell, and the door of the hall was slammed shut. Han Cheng's eyes widened, and he immediately retreated, knocking over a few in panic, the wine bottle and utensil fell to pieces in an instant, and he said, "His Royal Highness!"
Qi Zhuyin didn't get up, she slammed her fist on the small table, and the porcelain plate and chopsticks shook instantly. She picked up the gold chopsticks and slanted them to the side of Han Cheng's neck. Han Cheng waved his sleeves to block, only to hear a "bang" collision, he was actually wearing soft armor under his official robe, with arm straps between his arms!
Han Cheng picked up Xiaoji's foot and smashed his head at Li Jianting, furious: "The little girl from the prostitute, why dare you kill me!"
Seeing Han Cheng's arrogance, and hearing the sound of sonorous footsteps from outside the hall, Fuman felt timid in his heart, and took a few steps back with the tray in his hand. Kong Qiu, who was beside him, jumped up and stood in front of Li Jianting, his forehead was smashed by Xiaoji. He pushed Li Jianting backwards with all his strength, and, ignoring the blood flowing, shouted in the shock: "Don't listen to his nonsense! If this thief is not eliminated, the country will have no peace! Kill him, kill him quickly. !"
There was a loud noise at the door of the hall, and the guards outside heard the cries and came to slam the door, and Fengquan brought a few little eunuchs to press down the latch. The courtiers in the hall were all horrified, Helianhou stood unsteadily, stepped back again and again, and murmured: "What is this..."
Li Jianting did not stand firm in the retreat and fell to the ground. Her heart was pounding, clutching the golden hairpin, she saw Fengquan swayed by the door, and said sternly: "Block the door! Han Cheng set up soldiers and armor to surround the palace, the wolf's ambition is not hidden, if we don't kill him tonight, I will be with you. You are all dead!"
In the panic, Cen Yu didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped over the wine vessel. Xue Xiuzhuo supported him, he waved his arms in the hall, and said in a hurry, "As long as Han Cheng is dead, the rebel army will be leaderless! The commander and reinforcements are behind, Don't be afraid, gentlemen!"
Yin Luo set an example and rushed to the front of the door first, and together with the eunuch, resisted the door of the palace.
Han Cheng and Qi Zhuyin played against each other several times, but they were better at being refined in kung fu and wearing armor, forcing Qi Zhuyin to fall to the ground, and the five beads in his hair suddenly collapsed. She didn't dare to stay, she turned over suddenly, and left the place, saying that it was too late, and Han Cheng followed closely and stepped on the position where she was lying just now.
"Qi Zhuyin!" Han Cheng spat fiercely, "I usually endure you, you really don't know how high the sky is, and if you want to beat me, call you Laozi!"
Qi Zhuyin didn't bring Zhu Jiu, and he usually fought fierce attacks on the battlefield. He would suffer a loss when he met a master who was skilled in martial arts like Han Cheng. She led Han Cheng to take a few steps back. She had already arrived at Hua Xiangyi's side. Seeing that she was about to get close to the Queen Mother, she suddenly picked up the wine glass that Hua Xiangyi had not finished drinking, raised her head and drank it, and then knocked the porcelain cup. Broken, bent up to eat, clamped the broken porcelain piece between two middle fingers, and wiped his mouth.
"Don't you know?" Qi Zhuyin told the truth, "I have a stroke."
Han Cheng punched Qi Zhuyin's facade, Qi Zhuyin turned sideways to dodge, raised his hand without ceramic pieces to hold Han Cheng's arm, and turned back hard.
Han Cheng remained motionless.
Qi Zhuyin was discouraged, and instead of letting go, she kicked Han Cheng's flank. Han Cheng knew that what she usually mentioned were ghost-headed knives, but he didn't admit that she was a woman. With such a strong grasp, he couldn't break free, and he was just kicked. He suddenly became fierce, shouted loudly, and banged several times with "bang bang bang", leaning on his elbow to shake Qi Zhuyin out of his hand.
The two of them fought fiercely, crushing the debris under their feet as they advanced and retreated. The courtiers who blocked the door were all civil servants, and they fought against the guards outside because of their courage! The crack at the gate of the hall was getting wider and wider, Feng Quan could already see the grim face of the guard outside, he suddenly spit at the guard, and scolded sharply: "Bastard, stupid bastard, follow a bastard. The egg still wants to eat delicious and spicy food, and make your fucking daydreams! Then I will tear your skin at our house!"
He looks handsome, and after following the prince into the palace, he seems to have changed his temperament. He doesn't dare to be mad. He usually looks down on everyone when he sees him. The courtiers also scolded people, but they were all clutching the pen, trying to scold the rhythm, the beauty, and the demeanor. When they heard a series of voices like a series of cannons from Fengquan, their morale was immediately boosted.
Inside, Han Cheng didn't want to be entangled, he twisted the fist swung by Qi Zhuyin, and wanted to remove Qi Zhuyin's right arm. Qi Zhuyin flipped smoothly, and when she landed, she was hit on the side of the cheek. This time, she slammed into the small table on the side, and licked the blood that made her teeth sour when she braced her arms.
This old dog is worthy of being a master under Ji Lei's hands. If he doesn't move, he is hiding his clumsiness. He takes advantage of Qi Zhuyin, and it's so easy to change to someone like Xiao Chiye who has strong arms and can fight Ji's family boxing!
Han Cheng bullied himself up, and wanted to kick Qi Zhuyin out as a waist. Qi Zhuyin blocked with both arms, hugged his feet with backhands, and lifted him abruptly, overturning him to the ground. Kong Qiu rushed out holding the jug, and before he could smash it, he threw it aside and clung to Han Cheng's arm.
Han Cheng was pinned by Kong Qiu on his left arm, and he couldn't break free for a while. He was about to turn over. Xue Xiuzhuo kicked Xiaoji, held Xiaoji's feet, and knelt down to press Han Cheng's right arm.
Han Cheng's arms were stressed, his face changed, and he shouted, "You little people!"
He shook his body hard, but Qi Zhuyin straightened up, kicked on the ground and rushed over, the broken porcelain between his knuckles slashed towards Han Cheng's neck. Han Cheng raised his body with all his might, leaning on his chest armor to force it, and rubbed a blood line between his neck. He was about to speak when someone suddenly rushed behind him and hugged his half body.
Fu Man gasped heavily and said, "Master, let's do it!"
When Han Cheng saw it was him, he said in a cold voice, both startled and angry, "The robber is unrighteous, I should have killed you long ago!"
After all, there is a faint tendency to stand up. Who would have thought that he had not yet done so, and was knocked back by Qi Zhuyin's punch, which made Han Cheng's nose bleed, and he shouted in hatred, "You support Li Jianting to ascend to the throne, you are the traitors! She is just a prostitute! Door-"
Hearing the sound of "Puchi", Han Cheng's left eye was in severe pain. He raised his neck and wailed in pain, and in the bloody blur, he saw the golden butterfly on the golden hairpin swaying beside his cheek.
Han Cheng's voice trembled in pain, and he was already at the end of his fight. He said, "You... how dare you..."
Li Jianting pulled out the golden hairpin with shaking hands, and the robe was splattered with blood. Seeing that Han Cheng was still alive, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and stabbed at Han Cheng's front and neck disorderly.
Han Cheng said intermittently: "Prostitute... you..."
His right eye was severely pecked when it was raining heavily, and his left eye was blinded by Li Jianting. At this moment, there was no human appearance, his face was blurred, and his lips moved.
"Thinking of me... a... world... unexpectedly to... "
Fuman was still pressed by Han Cheng behind his back, blood dripped down his face, and he screamed in fright. Kong Qiu let go of his hand with lingering fears, and after confirming that Han Cheng was dead, he suddenly let out a breath and fell to the ground.
Han Cheng fell to the ground, tilted his neck, and stopped moving.
Xue Xiuzhuo was also panting. He stared at Li Jianting with disbelief in his eyes. Li Jianting's golden hairpin was covered in blood and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Her hands were covered in blood, as if she was frightened by Han Cheng's appearance, she took a half step back, gasping for breath in her throat.
livestock.
Li Jianting's fingers trembled so badly, she wiped her face in self-deprecating silence, as if wiping away tears, but only left her red fingerprints.
I am not a domestic animal.
Li Jianting met Xue Xiuzhuo's gaze and slowly tightened his fists. Her eyes were red, and she showed a complicated expression in this sudden change, like crying and laughing.
"I'm not..." Li Jianting squeezed out a voice between her teeth, she turned around abruptly, raised her right hand towards the temple door, as if holding a power that was once out of reach, and said word by word, "Your Majesty is here, who— Do you want to be a scoundrel?"
The queen mother held the handle, although she was still in a high position, she seemed to have returned to the day she entered the palace. On that day, she stood in front of the majestic palace, looking up at Emperor Guangcheng, who was in his prime. Emperor Guangcheng also stood at the peak of the Ninth Layer, raised his right hand, and said to her, "The Son of Heaven is here."
King Li!
