Chapter 741: Slowly Lost
The Emperor was pondering.
Chang Ankang stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Commander Zhao caught Xiao Xiurong at the gate of the city......"
The Emperor's eyes darkened.
It's more than that.
Chang Ankang continued: "There is news from Cining Palace that the Queen Mother is gone. ”
The emperor's eyes widened, and the Queen Mother actually left Beijing with those people at this time, which was really a slap in the face.
I didn't expect him to have such chaos in the capital before the period.
The emperor couldn't help but tremble.
Is the Jin State really going to send troops? He already knew about the collusion between Jin Guo and King Ning, but he never took Jin Guo seriously.
Right now......
The emperor's eyes were about to burst into flames, he just wanted to kill the king of Shu in the hall immediately, if it wasn't for King Shu's bad deeds, how could so many people escape.
"Your Majesty," King Shu said, "Wechen is willing to repair a letter and ask Western Xia to send troops to support Daqi." ”
King Shu's daughter is now the queen of Western Xia, and he needs the support of Western Xia at this moment, so he can't kill it yet.
The emperor wanted to laugh, he still looked like an emperor now, he was not as good as a beggar on the street, at least the beggar would not worry that someone would come and kill him at any time.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
He has very few soldiers and horses in his hands.
What Han Zhang said was true, he had no soldiers and horses to resist the Jin soldiers.
What Han Zhang said is false, then Han Zhang defected to King Qing, and now the soldiers and horses in the north are also in the hands of King Qing.
The emperor's heart ached, King Qing did not come to seize the palace, King Qing seemed to have bypassed this step directly, and directly held the power in his hands.
Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and they are directly opposed to the imperial court.
This is a natural anti-bone, a rebel.
The emperor's forehead was bruised, and he really hated to wipe out Qi Tang and the Pei family with his own hands. At that time, Qi Tang killed Shen Changji in public, and he thought that he had a loyal and capable minister, who knows......
The emperor's heart ached like a knife.
The emperor looked at Zhao Liao: "Where did King Qing go?" ”
Zhao Liao said: "King Qing's people went in the direction of Hangzhou. ”
The emperor snorted coldly, during the previous dynasty, Taizu had not been able to take the north, so he directly hoarded troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and established Daqi along the Huaishui boundary with the previous dynasty.
It's ridiculous, as long as he is the emperor, King Qing will always be a vassal king, a thief and a rebel.
Zhao Liao licked his lips: "When Weichen arrested King Qing, I heard King Qing's party say that King Qing returned to the domain. ”
At least on the surface, a prince returned to the domain, did not proclaim himself emperor, and left the capital far away, as if he had no intention of rebelling.
Zhao Liao took out the fold in his hand: "King Qing's people also sent a fold, asking the emperor to get rid of the traitors first, lest it be too late to wait for the Jin State to sneak attack Daqi." ”
Chang Ankang was about to go to get the fold, but the emperor reached out and grabbed the tea bowl on the table and threw it over.
The sound of broken porcelain came, everyone lowered their heads, Chang Ankang also understood in an instant, and immediately retreated to the same place.
"Do you also think that you need to investigate the traitor first?"
Under the watchful eye of the emperor, the people in the palace looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
King Shu blinked: "Of course you have to check, what if you don't check, wait for that person to pass the news to Jin Guo again, so that Jin Ren can't call." ”
Zhao Liao couldn't help but sweat for King Shu, and now only this prince, who is not aware of danger and does not understand the struggle for power, dares to say such things.
"Then investigate," the emperor said coldly, "I order you to investigate, and immediately arrest the spies of the Jin Kingdom." ”
"The ministers will do their best."
The voices of everyone in the hall shook the emperor's fists, and the emperor felt that the power was gradually draining from his hands, and he obviously didn't want the current result, but he couldn't change it by himself, because he still had to rely on these courtiers, and he couldn't push these people to King Qing.
So he had no choice but to let King Qing go for the time being.
It was only when the officials stepped back that the emperor took a deep breath, the air slitting his throat like a knife, and he couldn't help coughing violently.
Just like the emperor before he died, as if he was about to cough up everything in his body, tears of resentment slipped down the corners of the emperor's eyes.
"I'm going to kill him," the emperor gritted his teeth for a while, "I'm going to kill him." ”
……
The Guards Division and the Imperial City Division began to take people to look for the Jin people in the palace and in the capital.
The emperor promised to calm the external troubles first, so that many officials could settle down, and then make trouble within the Great Qi, the worst result was to change the emperor, and really let the Jin people go south, and the Great Qi Dynasty was finished, and the Jin people were bound to have countless casualties wherever they went.
Liu Jingchen walked out of the palace gate, and suddenly a figure flashed around him, and then someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him aside.
The sudden change almost frightened Liu Jingchen to the point of dissipation, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Liu Jingchen stabilized his mind and raised his head, and was surprised to find that the person who pulled him turned out to be Lu Ying.
"Lu Ying?" Liu Jingchen frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lu Ying's eyes were indescribably deep, there was no special expression on his face, he was as calm as ever, he bent down and said: "The student heard that the Jin people's spies had infiltrated the imperial court, so he hurriedly came to ask the teacher, is there really such a thing?" ”
Liu Jingchen's face stiffened, Lu Ying had been with him for so long, and he was also his confidant, and he helped him do many things properly, so when facing Lu Ying, he relaxed his tense heartstrings: "Don't go out and talk nonsense, this is King Qing's strategy, in order not to let the emperor pursue him, the emperor ordered someone to track down the spies, which is also an expedient measure, in order to stabilize people's hearts." ”
Lu Ying responded.
Liu Jingchen said: "Remember, no matter when, whoever asks, you will say this." ”
Lu Ying bowed down again, watching Liu Jingchen slowly walk away, knowing that Liu Jingchen's back disappeared from sight, Lu Ying straightened up.
"How?" Min Zichen immediately came up and said, "Isn't it...... What are we going to do? ”
Lu Ying's eyes were far-reaching: "When the best time is to expose him, we only have one chance, we can't let him notice, and we can't let him be on guard." ”
And it must be fast, before all the dust settles, fight for a way under Pei Qitang, if Pei Qitang wants to get rid of the emperor, he must find ways to keep this imperial power.
He couldn't let Pei Qitang take everything away from him, everything that should belong to him.
……
The gates of the capital were closed, and once again they were on alert.
Marquis Dingyuan and others rushed back to the capital with soldiers and horses.
King Ning received the news, and his haggard face, which had been running for many days, finally showed a smile: "It's done, what Jin Guo promised this king is done." ”
I don't know what means Jin Guo used, so that the emperor immediately turned the finger at King Qing.
That's a good job.
Now, the person who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight became him.
King Ning couldn't help laughing a few times: "When the first emperor appointed him as the crown prince, the staff in King Hui's mansion asserted that he must be a faint king, and sure enough, now I have to watch how he is killed." ”
"Without further ado," King Ning said, "immediately transfer troops to Jingdong, and find a way to make peace with the Jin people in Qingzhou, and we will borrow the hands of the Jin people to get rid of the emperor and King Qing." ”
The staff couldn't help but hesitate a little: "If the Jin people go back on their word, it will be bad for the prince...... What are we going to do. ”
"No," King Ning shook his head, "Although the Jin people are good at riding and shooting, they don't have the strength to swallow the entire Great Qi, since I have promised to divide the state to them, and send officials to help them manage their territories, and trade with them every year, they don't have to make any effort, sit back and wait for taxes, why not." ”
"Otherwise, if you get Qi Land, you won't have the heart to manage it, but you will be bound," King Ning showed a confident look on his face, "I know what the Jin people think, so I can exchange benefits with them." ”
As soon as King Ning's words fell, I don't know where there was a "rumbling" sound, and the water in the teacup also trembled, as if there was a faint sound of horses' hooves.
The herald broke into the military tent: "Oh no, there are soldiers and horses...... Soldiers and horses are coming this way. ”
