Chapter 679: The Emperor of Malice
However, this time, Qing Xuzi greatly surprised Qin Jin's expectations, and did not make noise in front of him, but asked him about the news about Li Longji.
Qin Jin glared at Qing Xuzi and said angrily:
"Inquire about the whereabouts of the Emperor Taishang privately, if it is known, he will be able to cure you of the crime of attempting treason!"
Qing Xuzi had long been accustomed to Qin Jin's attitude, and he grinned and said:
"Don't scare the poor, do you want the doctor to report the poor?"
Qin Jin was choked by Qing Xuzi and couldn't speak, of course he wouldn't, and he might also report Qing Xuzi. After more than a year of contact and understanding, although this person usually speaks not very reliable, he is meticulous in his work, especially in the formation of the firearms battalion, especially his imagination is different from ordinary people, which is even more staggering.
"Okay, if you have something to say, let it go, if there is nothing else, Qin Mou will prepare a statement and enter the palace to face the saint!"
With Qing Xuzi, Qin Jin has always been unpretentious, and he has no good face at all, so he wants to drive him away.
Qingxuzi said that he was leaving, but his feet were motionless, and he said:
"Poor Dao has heard a lot of rumors recently, all of which say that after the emperor returns, he may have to fight with the emperor ......."
Before Qing Xuzi's words were finished, Qin Jin slapped the bookcase.
"Do you also pass on this kind of brainless words? The emperor has the merit of saving Chang'an and turning the tide, even if the emperor comes back, it is impossible to move it in the slightest!"
Qing Xuzi pursed his lips, obviously disapproving of Qin Jin's words.
"Who said that? Poor Dao knows that many people in the Left Guard Army are worried about the Emperor!"
"Left Guard, who did you listen to?"
Now that the Left Guard Army was already in the hands of Li Yu, the king of Guangping, how could he allow such rumors to circulate among the Left Guards? But then, Qin Jin looked at Qing Xuzi suspiciously.
"What are you doing again? How do you know about the Zuo Wei Army? This is Chang'an, it's best to control your mouth and ears, in case you cause trouble one day, don't blame Qin for not being able to protect him!"
Qingxuzi exaggerated a frightened expression, saying that he would definitely take care of his mouth and ears, but he still insisted on his previous judgment.
Qin Jin simply turned his head and asked him:
"Tell me, what's the purpose?"
Under Qin Jin's urging, Qing Xuzi said hesitantly:
"Doctor, you have to think about which side to stand on!"
Qin Jin has long been tired of those infighting, if it weren't for the mutual restraint and intrigue within the Tang Dynasty, the situation would not have deteriorated so quickly!
He has made up his mind not to help each other, if Li Longji wants to fight with Li Heng, let them fight, anyway, in terms of the strength between father and son, Li Heng obviously has the upper hand and advantage, as long as Li Heng can still control the court situation, there will be no chaos in the world.
Li Longji's car arrived in Chang'an three days later, and Li Heng prepared and arranged an unprecedented welcome ceremony for the emperor's return to Beijing.
Until the Emperor Taishang's car arrived outside Chang'an City, there were thousands of empty alleys in the city, which made Qin Jin unable to help but be speechless. Although Li Longji abandoned Chang'an at the most dangerous time, now the people of Chang'an seem to have forgotten about it, and they have enthusiastically joined the greeting procession, vying to witness this former emperor who has become the emperor.
At the same time, Qin Jin also discovered once again that Li Tang's status in the world, especially in the minds of the people of Guanzhong, is not something that can be erased in a short time.
When the grand and cumbersome ceremonies were completed one after another, Li Longji finally entered the long-awaited Xingqing Palace. At this time, most of the Xingqing Palace has been repaired, although traces of damage can still be seen in many places, but after all, it has been dead and lived for decades, and he shed a few tears under the excitement.
Including Li Heng, the accompanying important ministers and old ministers couldn't help but wet their towels when they saw the Emperor Taishang sighing and crying.
Li Heng even knelt in front of Li Longji, saying that his son was not filial, so that his father still suffered from displacement in his later years. However, in Qin Jin's opinion, Li Heng's performance seemed to be a little too strong, or a little contrived. It is true that Li Heng is a benevolent person, but he is by no means perfect, it seems that as soon as he is in front of Li Longji, he instinctively puts on a mask and starts performing.
Where was Li Longji willing to let Li Heng kneel in front of him again, he picked him up without saying a word, and held his right arm tightly with his thin old hand, and walked side by side on the spacious straight road in Xingqing Palace.
A scene of father and son filial piety, the important ministers and old ministers behind the two of them were even more teary-eyed, and secretly praised that the chaos in the Tang Dynasty is coming soon!
After such a long time, Li Longji suddenly said:
"I have been the Son of Heaven for more than 40 years, and I don't feel how noble I am, but today I am the father of the Son of Heaven, and I feel that I am indeed noble!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Heng was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react. Although he is now the Son of Heaven, after all, under his father's decades of prestige, I am afraid it will take longer to adapt to this change of status. However, Li Longji suddenly said this, and it took him a lot of effort to figure it out, this was actually a compliment!
Li Heng was a little stupid, for more than ten years of his career as a prince, for him, the emperor has always been a god-like existence, always cautious, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that every word and word he said would be wrong. And the emperor's attitude towards him is also moody, and he often snubs Shi Wei.
At this moment, it seems that overnight, all this has changed, and the Emperor Taishang actually put down his dignity and majesty to compliment him!
Li Heng thought clearly, and the officials behind him couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't help but secretly sigh that this day had really changed.
Li Longji looked at Li Heng, his expression was as kind and kind as an ordinary father, as if all this was very natural.
"Father!"
Suddenly, Li Heng choked up, and he suddenly found that the once god-like emperor was indeed old, and now he was more like an ordinary father than before, with the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people. Compared with the cold and alienated emperor in the past, he identified more with the emperor at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that the ministers were still around, I am afraid that the father and son would almost hug each other and cry, and even Qin Jin felt that it was beyond imagination.
He thought that this should be an embarrassing and ghostly long time, but who would have thought that he would witness this scene with his own eyes.
It seems that people are human beings after all, even the emperor is no exception, no matter how many points Li Longji's father and son are in at this time, but Qin Jin can still see that there is a true side of inner emotions in them.
The expected situation did not appear, but Qin Jin was very happy, as long as Li Longji figured it out, no longer blocked Li Heng, and enjoyed his old age in a down-to-earth manner, the situation in Chang'an would naturally not be chaotic anymore, and he would not have to be clumsy in the complex infighting.
After Li Longji returned to Chang'an, he really no longer cared about political affairs, and only entertained with a dry pear garden disciple all day long, and often discussed with Princess Yuzhen, and lived a good life. Only occasionally summoned some old ministers during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period to say some considerate words.
Qin Jin also received an edict from the Emperor Taishang on this day, preparing to enter the Xingqing Palace to meet him after the first day of the day.
Huangfu Ke was also in the Chinese army at this time, and when he heard that Li Longji had summoned Qin Jin, he was a little depressed, and when Qing Xuzi was coming to meet him, he asked:
"What's the matter with General Huangfu?"
He and Huangfu Ke had a lot of intersections when they were in Hedong, and Huangfu Ke was devoted to Taoism, so the two became a lot closer, so they didn't hide it from him.
"The Emperor summoned the doctor, and the old man felt that it was inappropriate!"
Qingxuzi chuckled.
"Poor Dao, it seems that the general remembered the old grudge with the Emperor!"
Huangfu Ke glanced at him angrily, but he didn't brush his sleeves away, but nodded.
"The real person is right, when he thinks of the hatred of destroying the family, it is difficult for the old man to sit in peace!"
Qing Xuzi looked at Huang Fu Ke with an undisguised sympathy, it was clear that the enemy who destroyed the family was in front of him, but he could never take revenge, which was unbearable pain for anyone. However, he is a monk, and he has no earthly ties, so his hatred for Huangfu Ke naturally cannot be understood.
"Let's not talk about the general's great hatred, Doctor Qin will have the disaster of pond fish right now!"
Huangfu Ke was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what the scourge of the pond fish that Qing Xuzi was referring to.
"Should we stop the doctor from meeting the Emperor?"
Qingxuzi nodded.
"It must be stopped! It doesn't matter if the Emperor Taishang summons those idle old ministers, but when he summons Doctor Qin, he definitely doesn't have a good heart!"
Qing Xuzi's gaze suddenly became cold, but it was also fleeting, so that Huangfu Ke thought that he was dazzled, how could this real person who had always smiled and grinned have such chilling eyes?
Immediately afterwards, Huang Fu Ke figured out the intention of Qing Xuzi, Qin Jin was an important minister who led the army, and Li Longji, as the emperor himself, should try to avoid contact with him to avoid unnecessary trouble, no matter what kind of mentality and purpose, summoning Qin Jin in private would only make the emperor suspicious! And once the emperor was suspicious, it would definitely be bad for the minister!
"This, could this be a real person thinking too much?"
Although the Taoist ideals are understood, Huang Fu Ke still finds it difficult to accept it for a while, and the Emperor Taishang, who seems to have no quarrel with the world, still has ulterior motives.
Qing Xuzi sneered and replied categorically:
"How can Poor Dao misunderstand him? If Doctor Qin goes, he will only cause trouble for himself and the Shenwu Army, doesn't the general plan to stop him with Poor Dao?"
"The old man is duty-bound!"
But Huangfu Ke was also worried, with his understanding, Qin Jin was a very confident and conceited person, if he made a decision, even if ten cows and twenty horses would be difficult to pull back his mind, in case......
