I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 159 Kill that lowly maidservant!

"Prime Minister..."

"real······?"

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

Although he did not mourn for Shen Tujia's situation like Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng did, Tianzi Qi obviously paid more attention to it.

When he asked something pointed, the old doctor shook his head with a sad face, and slightly arched his hands to Tianzi Qi.

"The prime minister's illness has a long history;"

"If I had been able to rest and recuperate more in the past two years, I could have lived a few more years."

"But for the past two years, especially the past six months, the Prime Minister has been too tired..."

Shaking his head and sighing, the old doctor's face became even more distressed.

The gaze that looked at Tian Ziqi also quietly moved to the ground in front of him, and there was even more sorrow written between his brows.

"Nowadays, the prime minister is sick like a mountain, and his stomach and meridians are in a mess;"

"This morning, when I went to take the prime minister's pulse, I also found that the prime minister's clothes were dirty, his hair and beard were withered, his armpits were sweaty, and his body was filthy."

"——In the mouth of our doctors, this is called: the five declines of heaven and man."

"And it is the big five of the big and small five bad."

"And the great five declines of the five declines of heaven and man mean that the patient's oil is exhausted, the lamp is dry, the life span is exhausted, the medicine and stone are useless, and the gods are hard to save..."

The old doctor's low and hoarse tone also caused Tianzi Qi to feel inexplicably sad.

After hearing the last sentence 'the medicine stone is useless, the gods can't save it', Tianzi Qiye finally took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Ah~"

"It was I who killed the prime minister..."

"If it wasn't for the fact that I insisted on cutting the feudal clan, the prime minister wouldn't have worked so hard..."

"Now, the rebellion is about to be put down, but I am not happy at all;"

"—How can a few rebellious officials and thieves compare to the prime minister, who is old and strong, and who has devoted himself to the ancestral temple and the country's pillars?"

Hearing this, the old doctor did not speak again, only shook his head and lowered his head with a sigh.

The old doctor is just a doctor;
The mission of the doctor is to cure the disease.

The old doctor doesn't care about anything except cure, dare not care, can't care...

"Please, sir, stay at the prime minister's mansion for a few more days;"

"There is only so much I can do for the prime minister..."

There was another mournful whisper, and the old doctor bowed slowly, surrendered to the emperor, and then quietly retreated.

Waiting in the palace room, only Emperor Qi and the eunuch Ling beside him were left, so Emperor Qi shook his head and sighed bitterly and turned sideways.

"Where is the prince?"

He asked in a deep voice, but eunuch Ling hurriedly stepped forward two steps, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the news came back last night that the son just set off from the prime minister's fief;"

"Hurry up, and in another seven or eight days, you should be able to reach Chang'an..."

Hearing this, Tianzi Qi sighed so much that he sighed again, and sat back on the imperial couch with mixed expressions.

"Send someone to remind you;"

"At least let the son see the prime minister for the last time."

"The next thing will also need to be handled by the son..."

After giving instructions in a deep voice, Tianzi Qi immediately lay back on the couch, and waved lightly at the eunuch Ling beside him.

"Here..."

After the eunuch led the order to retreat, only Tian Zi Qi was left in the hall, and Tian Zi Qi, who was lying flat on the couch, finally stopped suppressing the grief in his heart and let the tears fall from the corners of his eyes.

——For Shen Tujia and Tian Ziqi's feelings, it can be said that it is not uncomplicated.

When he was a child, the emperor Qi admired such a founding father as Shen Tujia;

Later, when he became the crown prince, Emperor Qi respected Shen Tujia as a stable veteran.

Later, when the first emperor passed away, the emperor took over the throne. For such a stubborn and stubborn prime minister like Shen Tujia who "relied on the old and sold the old", the emperor gradually grew disgusted in his heart.

But now, seeing with his own eyes that the "Strategy to Cut Fans" that he single-handedly promoted almost triggered a war that spread throughout the entire Kanto region, and was controlled by Shentu Jia like a cocoon, bit by bit within the acceptable range. , is already admiring the five-body cast.

It was also this rebellion that made Tian Ziqi clearly realize that Chao Cuo may be a national scholar with a bright future, but Shen Tujia is Liu Han Sheji's pinnacle of Dinghai.

It's just that Tian Ziqi's "sentiment" came a bit late;

Tianzi Qi had just made up his mind to treat this ancestral temple and Sheji's Dinghai god, Shen Tujia, well, and he was about to come to the end of his life...
"Shen Tujia, the last founding father of the country..."

"After Shen Tujia, my Han family will no longer have a founding father in the dynasty..."

"Without such veterans suppressing the court, what would I be like tired..."

With a sigh full of sighs, the emperor Qi, who was lying alone on the imperial couch, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.

Only a moment later, an extremely abrupt reply sounded from behind the empty imperial couch.

"Qu Zhou Hou Li Ji, in fact, can be regarded as the founding father of the country..."

"--Who!"

Subconsciously let out an exclamation, and immediately wanted to bounce off the couch, and after he realized it, the emperor Qicai lay back on the couch with lingering fear.

"I didn't even report when I came..."

"Hidden and haunted..."

A little bit dissatisfied, he uttered two complaints, took another deep breath, and slightly suppressed the obviously accelerated heart rate, and Tianzi Qi followed the topic: "Li Ji~"

"It really is;"

"Although the first generation of Qu Zhouhou was Li Ji's father, Jinghou Li Shang, the feats of Qu Zhouhou's lineage were all made by the father and son, who worked together with Emperor Gao, the great ancestor. .”

"It's just that incident back then that caused Li Ji to suffer the taint of 'selling friends for glory'..."

"If this is not the case, then Li Ji can become a veteran like Shen Tujia."

"—Maybe, how many more years can you be prime minister?"

The relaxed tone of chattering made the man in black who was hiding in the curtain lower his head quietly, and did not continue to follow the words of Tian Ziqi.

Because this matter involves a past event that is not convenient to talk about.

——27 years ago, Empress Dowager Lu passed away.

In order to avoid the liquidation of Lu's relatives after her death, Empress Dowager Lu appointed Zhao Wang Lu Lu as the general to command the Northern Army; Lu Wang Lu Chan commanded the Southern Army.

Empress Dowager Lu originally thought that there would be no problems if the brothers Lu Chan and Lu Lu controlled the military power of the two forbidden troops in Chang'an;
But almost immediately after the Queen Mother Lu passed away, Prime Minister Chen Ping and Taiwei Zhou Bo, together with the noble ministers in the court and Qi Wang Liu Xiang of Kanto, launched the bloodbath of the Lu family's relatives. action!
In Guandong, Qi Wang Liu Xiang led an army of more than [-] troops and approached Xingyang;
This forced the brothers Lu Chan and Lu Lu, who held military power at that time, to send out half of the Southern Army, the Imperial Army that guarded Chang'an;

But after that, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, the heroes of meritorious service, encountered a big problem.

The military power of the southern and northern armies is in the hands of brothers Lu Chan and Lu Lu. Without military power, it is impossible to launch a coup in Chang'an!
According to the rules set by Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, if you want to control the military power and mobilize the army, you must have the tiger charm for mobilizing troops and the edict of the emperor.

At that time, one of the only tiger talismans for mobilizing troops in the world was handed over to Guan Ying, the general who led the army to stop Qi Wang Liu Xiang;
The other one is in the hands of the general at the time: Lu Lu.

In order to successfully grasp the military power and use the military power to launch a coup, Taiwei Zhou Bo finally decided to open the situation from Lu Lu.

Afterwards, Zhou Bo kidnapped Qu Zhouhou's son, Li Ji's father: Qu Zhouhou Li Shang, and told Li Ji: You and Lu Lu are good friends, go and deceive me with the soldier talisman in Lu Lu's hand. Come;

Send the soldier talisman to me, and I will let your father go, otherwise, I will kill your father.

Threatened by Zhou Bo with 'the safety of his father', Li Ji had no choice but to follow through after careful consideration.

Li Ji cheated the military talisman from his friend Lu Lu and handed it to Zhou Bo, so Li Ji took his father Li Shang back to Qu Zhouhou's mansion.

What happened next is known to all women and children.

——Getting the soldier talisman, Zhou Bo ran to the camp of the Northern Army and howled: "Left for the Liu family!"
Then, under the leadership of Zhou Bo, tens of thousands of guards from the Northern Army who bared their left arms entered the Weiyang Palace and executed Lu Chan, Lu Lu brothers, and even everyone surnamed Lu in Chang'an that night. of Chang'an.

After the situation calmed down, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo discussed: Qi Wang Liu Xiang has a strong army and horses, which is not easy to control;

On the contrary, Liu Heng, the acting king, is honest and responsible, weak in power...

In this way, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes, welcomed the acting king at that time, that is, the first emperor, on the grounds that "Qi Wangmu's family is Sijun, a wicked person; immediately, I am afraid that he will return to the Lu family" Enter Chang'an and inherit the throne.

So far, this "rebellion of Zhulu", or "the princes and ministers punished Zhulu together", has drawn a perfect end.

But after that, Li Ji's reputation was inexplicably ruined.

——People say that Li Ji betrayed his friend Lu Lu in order to hug Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's thighs!

Since then, the word "Li Ji" has become synonymous with "selling friends and seeking glory".

Few people know that at that time, Li Ji was threatened by Zhou Bo with the life of his father Li Shang, so he had no choice but to betray Lu Lu;
People only know: Li Ji this person, can't deal with...
"How is the situation in the palace?"

"Phoenix Hall, Guangming Hall, Xuanming Hall, what are the movements?"

"——and the Queen Mother...huh?"

While thinking about it, Tianzi Qi asked several questions one after another, causing the man in black to turn around hastily.

After organizing some language, I reported: "All the princes believe that the rebellion has been put down, and it will not be too long before the princes become kings and vassals."

"So, except for sons Peng Zu and son Sheng, who often go to the old Anhou's mansion, the rest of the sons often accompany their mothers."

"The same is true for Young Master De and Young Master Yu of the Phoenix Hall..."

Hearing this, Tianzi Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a little bit of vicissitudes quietly appeared on his face.

After a while, Tianzi Qi said a word, but the expression of the man in black suddenly became a little strange.

"Ah~"

"It's all life..."

"Conferring the king to the domain, mother and child parting..."

Hearing Tianzi Qi's sighing voice, the man in black only had one doubt in his heart;
——Listen to this, why do you hear it so familiar...

"Over there at the Phoenix Palace, tell me more specifically;"

Before the man in black could figure it out, Tianzi Qi asked again, bringing the man in black's mind back to his eyes again;
After asking this question, Tianzi Qi even sat up from the couch, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing this, the man in black did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Li Ji believes that since the rebellion has been quelled, the princes will soon be crowned kings and vassals, and the eldest son of the emperor will definitely be crowned prince by His Majesty."

"So recently, Li Ji is in a very good mood;"

"—Today, the Phoenix Palace has been running for a month, and no palace official has been beaten to death by Li Ji..."

The man in black spoke indifferently, but it made Emperor Qi shake his head dumbfounded.

"Ah······"

"No one dies for a month..."

"Don't tell me;"

"——It really can be regarded as 'in a very good mood'."

It seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be self-deprecating and shook his head with a smile, and then he saw Tianzi Qi's face turned serious again.

"Where is Rong?"

"Tell me carefully."

"Be as careful as you can!"

Feeling the seriousness in Tianzi Qi's tone, the man in black couldn't help but subconsciously straighten his body!
"The eldest son of the emperor believes that after the rebellion is over, the king of Liang will attack again, and the queen mother may also persecute your majesty again."

"For the sake of King Duanliang, His Majesty will strive to become the crown prince as soon as possible."

"And the eldest son of the emperor thinks that it is difficult for the eldest son of the emperor to help His Majesty in this matter;"

"Therefore, the eldest son of the emperor explained to son De and son Yu: Before His Majesty appoints the crown prince, the Phoenix Palace must keep a low profile."

"The eldest son of the emperor also said: It is better to be still than to move..."

"—It's better to be still than to move..."

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, Tianzi Qi narrowed his eyes and repeated the man in black's words softly.

Looking at the gate of the palace with deep eyes, after thinking for a long time, Tianzi Qicai finally shook his head and smiled.

"Not too stupid;"

"It's not in vain that I have poured my heart and soul into it, and cultivated it painstakingly for more than ten years..."

After saying a word leisurely, an inexplicable look of confusion appeared on Tian Ziqi's face.

But no one knows what the emperor Qi is struggling with at this moment.

Including Tian Ziqi himself...

"How about Kanto?"

"—Old thief Liu Bi, where did you go?"

After a long silence, Tian Zi Qi finally gritted his teeth and pulled his thoughts back from Liu Rong and some unknown bastard;
The faintly hostile question only provoked the man in black to hurriedly cup his hands.

"—Huainan Prime Minister Zhang Shizhi sent back news: Liu Bi crossed the Huai River and fled to Dantu with more than 1000 remnants of soldiers;"

"If there is no accident, it should be to escape to Lingnan..."

Carefully give the answer, but seeing that Emperor Qi's face became more and more gloomy, the man in black asked a little nervously: "You can send someone to Changsha and Kuaiji to try to intercept..."

"—No need!"

Before the man in black could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Tianzi Qizhong's angry voice.

Then Tianzi Qi frowned tightly, turned sideways with a gloomy expression, glanced at the man in black who was still hiding between the curtains behind him from the corner of his eye.

"Liu Bi is already a bereaved dog. He only leads more than 1000 people, and he can't make any waves at all;"

"As for you, I have something else to say..."

The gloomy tone of voice caused the man in black to kneel down quickly, kowtowing to the emperor without hesitation.

But I saw the emperor turned around, sat on the imperial couch, looked towards the direction of the palace gate, and thought for a long time;

Just staring at the door of the hall for a long time, the emperor Qicai got up from the couch, walked around the imperial couch slowly, and came to the man in black.

Seeing the man in black still prostrate on the ground, Tianzi Qi thought for a while, then squatted down.

It was also at the moment when he squatted down that Tianzi Qi's icy face suddenly showed a stern look!
"Chu Wang Liu Wu is still in Pengcheng..."

"—Liu Bi has been defeated, and Liu Wu will commit suicide..."

"Liu Wu's crown prince, named Liu Qiang..."

"—Liu Wu commits suicide, Liu Qiang will also commit suicide..."

Some inexplicable words only made the man in black feel puzzled, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, and pressed his forehead tightly on the floor behind the imperial couch.

Seeing Tian Ziqi clenched his teeth tightly, his tone of voice carried a terrifying murderous intent that made people fall into the abyss!
"Liu Qiang, Prince Chu, has a princess..."

"This princess, surnamed Yue..."

"—I want you to go in person, alone..."

"Unknowingly, unknowingly, let that slut disappear into this world..."

"Afterwards, you stay in Pengcheng for a while longer."

"In the meantime, no matter who asks about that slut;"

"Whatever! Whoever it is!"

"Ge, kill, don't, discuss..."

"—Even Liu Wu is no exception..."

Kowtowing his head to the ground, feeling the gloomy tone of Tianzi Qi, the man in black couldn't help trembling slightly.

"minister······"

"Follow, obey..."

The language trembled and said several times of "compliance", but the man in black couldn't say the word "fate", he just prostrated on the ground in fear, trembling all over.

After explaining, Tianzi Qi didn't ask too many questions, he just stretched out his hand and patted the arched back of the man in black.

"This matter, absolutely, absolutely, never let anyone know."

"—Even I, I absolutely don't want to hear about that slut from anyone again..."

"After you come back, you don't have to report it to me."

"Keep this matter to yourself, and after a hundred years, bring it to the grave..."

Finally, after a few more words, Tianzi Qi patted the man in black on the back.

He straightened up, lowered his head, and stared at the man in black for a while;

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger on his face, Tianzi Qicai turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

"Go do it."

"The things in the palace are left to the people below."
