Queen Qin came from a wealthy family and had always been aloof. When was she threatened by a wild dog? She said angrily: "How dare you!"
Zhang Hua didn't have anything to fear at this level. He immediately said politely: "Have you forgotten that the bowl of medicine six years ago was the one you ordered to do? Your Majesty is now under one person and among ten thousand people." Come on, you can’t do that thing of abandoning your soldiers to save your commander!”
This wild dog... This wild dog... I will kill him sooner or later. However, before she could react, a deep voice sounded from behind the curtain.
"Who dares to threaten my queen!"
When Empress Qin and Zhang Hua heard this, they were shocked and shocked. One of them stood frozen and the other knelt down, watching the tall and thin figure gradually approaching.
This figure had never frightened them so much.
Why is he there? How long have you been listening
Soon, the figure walked up to them, his bright yellow dragon robe dazzling and shocking.
The person who came was none other than Emperor Baoqing.
After half a cup of tea, Zhang Yunlong entered the palace, looked at the emperor's expression, and then at King Shou who was sitting sideways, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Hua has summoned you."
Emperor Baoqing said expressionlessly: "Say!"
Zhang Yunlong said dryly, "Qian Zongfang poisoned the emperor six years ago. It was Zhang Hua who did it. The person behind the scenes was..."
Looking at the queen kneeling on the ground, Zhang Yunlong couldn't help but whisper: "The person who ordered it is the queen!"
The shocking words made the atmosphere in the hall freeze instantly.
After a long time, Emperor Baoqing raised his hand and gave a slow high-five, "Okay, very good!"
Empress Qin felt a cold chill in her internal organs. It was over, everything was over.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Hua also confessed something. He was also responsible for the Cao family case. The prescription was copied by the prince and concubine of Zhenguo. The person who pulled the strings... is also the queen!"
"Queen?"
Emperor Baoqing whispered playfully, "I never thought that the virtuous and respectful queen would dare to plot to kill me, blame the prince, and even collude with foreign officials to kill Zhongliang."
Queen Qin was despairing, her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
Emperor Baoqing smiled coldly, "Queen, I have been married to you for several years, are you just looking forward to my death?"
Empress Qin could not argue at all, she only felt sad and despaired of all her thoughts. I have been planning hard for many years, walking on the edge of the knife step by step, but in the end I was destroyed by Zhang Hua, a mad dog.
"Yunlong, go and invite King Rui yourself!"
The word "please" made Queen Qin's body tremble and her heart hurt.
"Why-"
A deep sigh came out of Zhao Jingyan's mouth. He changed his usual playful smile and said sadly: "Mother, you are so confused. For Zhang Hua, even the second brother was implicated... The second brother... Hey! "
Queen Qin was shocked when she heard this, her eyes gradually became clearer, she forced herself to raise her head, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to the Emperor alone."
"My queen, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Baoqing cleared his throat with a calm expression.
Queen Qin's face turned pale, and there was a surge in her chest.
She had been sleeping with this man for many years, and she knew his temperament very well. Behind the calm, there was a raging anger.
"Your Majesty, these things were done by this concubine alone and have nothing to do with King Rui. It doesn't matter how you want to deal with my concubine. I just ask the emperor not to punish him."
Emperor Baoqing remained motionless, with a cold look in his eyes, "The Queen is really affectionate. So, the murder of the Qian family was also carried out by the Queen alone?"
Empress Qin raised her head fiercely and denied it, "Your Majesty, this matter was not done by this concubine. I am unjustly accused."
Emperor Baoqing slowly turned around and said with a sharp look, "Do you know what was found during the six-door investigation back then? One arrow sealed the throat."
Queen Qin looked confused. Wasn't the Qian family burned to death in a fire
"In this world, who else has that ability except your son? There are more than a hundred people in the Qian family!"
"No, absolutely not!" Queen Qin's voice was sharp and sharp.
Emperor Baoqing suddenly knelt down and clamped his hand on Queen Qin's chin, "Queen, I gave him the secret guard of Prince Rui's Mansion."
Empress Qin shook her head repeatedly, "In the royal family, it is not only King Rui who maintains secret guards, but also the old Qi Prince's Mansion. The fire in the Punishment Department that day was caused by the secret guards of the old Qi Prince's Mansion."
Emperor Baoqing's eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty, the one who is disloyal is not King Rui, but the old King Qi." Empress Qin looked at the Emperor with firm eyes.
Old King Qi, you are an old thief. Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, you have never deposed a queen. As long as I am still the queen, you will always make a comeback.
You have climbed up to the virtuous king, and I have to get rid of you for the sake of the emperor.
After a long time, the door of the imperial study room slowly opened, and Emperor Baoqing walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, his eyes falling on Zhang Yunlong, who was standing with his head bowed.
"Bring Gu Yanqi to see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Night falls little by little.
In the study, Zhao Jingying said anxiously: "Father, do it, it will be too late."
News came out from the palace that the emperor summoned Gu Yanqi. He couldn't hide the money issue at all. As a result, he was involved in the case of arson and murder by the Ministry of Justice. None of it is a trivial matter.
The old King Qi gave him a cold look, and his eyes slowly fell on Zhao Jinghuan.
This face looks exactly like my second brother.
His biological mother was just the late emperor's maid who was responsible for holding bowls. The late emperor was drunk and had a night of love with her, and she became pregnant with him without even thinking about it.
In the harem, the mother is as valuable as the son, but the status of the biological mother is very low, no different from the abandoned concubine. Even the decent palace people can step on their heads. Only the second brother secretly protects him, so the two brothers Deep feelings.
The late emperor died, the prince was executed, and Emperor Baoqing succeeded in usurping the throne, and the palace was bathed in blood. Because of his obedience, he survived, while his second brother was exiled outside the Great Wall.
The road to imperial power has always been full of blood. He thought that as long as his second brother could save his life, stay away from the capital and live a leisurely life, it might not be a foreign matter. Who would have thought that that beast would still refuse to let go.
From that moment on, he hated it.
This world belongs to the Zhao family. How could an executioner with his brother's blood on his hands have the dignity to sit on the dragon chair
In the past, he didn't want to get involved, he just wanted to be a free prince, but at that moment, he had a desire, and for no other reason than to take down the executioner for his second brother who had protected him since childhood.
That's why he tried every possible means to protect Zhao Jinghuan; that's why he forced the Gu family to take out the treasure;
This is a road with no turning back. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, that's all.
Zhao Jinghuan slowly stood up, lifted up his robe, knelt down, and said word by word: "Uncle Wang, the pawns crossing the river are advancing but not retreating. Instead of sitting down and waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death."
"good!"
The old King Qi stood up and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, with infinite cruelty in his eyes.
"Follow me and enter the palace!"
The winter of the thirty-ninth year of Baoqing.
The sixth day of November.
Big bad.
The old King of Qi mobilized private soldiers to rebel.
On the same day, Zhao Zhen, the commander of the fifth military camp, led 20,000 troops and forced them to the palace to rebel.
Zhao Jinghuan, the son of King Huainan, led five thousand private soldiers and gathered in the direction of the palace to rebel.
The people quickly realized that something was unusual and fled away. The usually bustling streets and alleys fell silent within a few hours.
It seemed to be an empty city.
Emperor Baoqing was shocked when he heard this. He shook his body a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood.
After a while, he took the towel handed by Eunuch Li, wiped the corners of his mouth calmly, looked at Zhang Yunlong and Zhao Jingyan on the ground, and said word by word: "Very good, they are all thinking about my dragon chair."
Zhang Yunlong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if there is no doubt about anything, we can't waste even a moment!"
"Father, time is running out!"
Zhao Jingyan was a little shocked. I never thought that a small Gu family would force the old King Qi to rebel. It was really unexpected.
Emperor Baoqing smiled, his voice soft and indifferent.
The minister deceives the king, the brother kills the brother, the son rebels against the father, the wife seeks her husband... Why do everyone stand opposite him? If that's the case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Kill without mercy!"
These three lightly spoken words came out of the emperor's mouth, and the hearts of the two people on the ground were filled with turmoil.
The dark night is like a huge black curtain, which seems to swallow people up. It is so dark that it makes people feel desperate.
In Qingfu.
Ah Li jumped up, descended from the high wall, and hurriedly walked into the flower hall.
"Miss Six!"
"What's wrong?" Qingguan looked serious.
A Li pointed at his burning throat, took a sip of the tea, regardless of whose cup it was, and said, "Old King Qi has rebelled."
"Inverted?"
Qingguan broke out in a cold sweat, and her heart went to Noisy Eyes, "Where is your prince?"
"The prince is in the palace, please stay in the palace and don't go out. There is a lot of chaos outside." A Li said, clasped his fists and disappeared into the night.
Qingguan reluctantly turned around calmly, his voice trembling a little, "Master, what are the chances of the old King Qi winning?"
Shi Minwei pinched his beard and said solemnly: "No chance of winning."
"Why?"
"Miss, just think about it, how do the old Qi King's troops compare with the Sheng family's army?"
Qingguan's complexion changed.
"A man as brave and good at fighting as Sheng Qing has been defeated, let alone King Qi, who will definitely be defeated." Shi Minwei shook his head repeatedly.
After Qingguan heard this, he said after a long time: "Master, why did the old King Qi rebel?"
If you don't rebel, you still have your life; if you rebel, it will be a disaster.
Shi Minwei pondered for a long time and said: "Miss, Minwei can't guess, but I vaguely feel that it was because of Emperor Baoqing's seizure of the throne."
Qingguan glanced at him, her lips moved slightly, but in the end she said nothing.
At this moment, Zhao Jingyan, who was dressed in white robe, slowly walked towards the tower, followed by Zhang Yunlong.
"It's so cold. Uncle Wang can't rest in his mansion. It's so refreshing to go under the city wall and enjoy the cold wind."
The old King Qi raised his head, looked at the array of archers on the tower, and laughed loudly three times, "Can't you see that my army is approaching the city?"
Zhao Jingyan's eyes turned cold and she said with a faint smile: "My father treats you well. He promised you a high position and gave you glory. Why do you want to rebel?"
The old King Qi smiled coldly, "Thirty-nine years ago, he killed his brother to seize the throne, which was a treasonous act. If he can rebel, why can't I rebel?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled at him from a distance, "Because you don't have that ability. Uncle Wang, my nephew kindly advises you to leave quickly, you can still survive, otherwise... tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk” The old King Qi smiled and said nothing, but slowly raised the sword in his hand.
