Chapter 2, a river of blood
Today's sun is particularly dazzling, obviously it is only early spring, but the air is floating in the heat that does not match the level of this early spring, like a blood-like light covering down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Or is the color of this sword too eye-catching?
Steward Ji stumbled in, looked at the group of people in the courtyard who were appreciating the sword, raised a hand tremblingly, and looked panicked: "Qi Shuai, outside ̈ ̈ ̈"
Qing'er heard that it was Steward Ji's voice, didn't turn around, and said, "Steward Ji, is Brother Junyang here, let him come in, just send him in." ”
After not replying for a long time, Steward Ji saw that Qi Shuai was still watching King Xiao Qi Wujian with such concern, and rushed to Qi Muze's side almost step by step, and said these words: "Your Majesty's holy decree, seal the Qi Mansion!" ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone was shocked, and Junsheng also stopped, recycled the sword into the scabbard, and handed it back to Qing'er.
There was no more swishing swords in the courtyard, and the countless trivial footsteps and the sound of armor and weapons colliding from the front hall made everyone feel terrified with the eight words spoken by the butler.
Qi Mansion can be said to be the pillar of the Great Yu Dynasty, and everyone in the capital knows the famous Qi Mansion. In addition, Qi Shuai had just won the entire Zhou State a few months ago, and he had worked hard, and Emperor Gao had personally set up a banquet to entertain Qi Shuai, who had triumphed from the Zhou State.
Your Majesty's holy decree sealed the Qi Mansion? It sounds like a joke no matter how you want it.
Qi Muze's eyebrows were shocked, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, and his eyes were cold, looking at the housekeeper.
"Gonggong Zhang is already in the front hall, and there is also the commander of the Royal Forest Army, which is menacing!"
Everyone didn't have time to think about it, and they all followed Qi Muze to the front hall. At this time, the voices of men and women calling for help came from the front hall.
Junsheng had an ominous premonition, he was very nervous, afraid that Qing'er would be implicated, turned around and walked to Qing'er's side, and subconsciously reached out to pull her and keep up with her father's footsteps.
Qi Muze rushed to the front hall, the commander of the Royal Forest Army was wearing battle armor, his right hand was held on the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and he looked at the people who were driven out of the backyard with fierce eyes, raising his chin, and his expression under the sun was as arrogant and dull as a black bear.
The men in the front hall of the house have been bound with ropes and knives around their necks. The ladies were all shackled, their hands clenched into fists, and they were clipped to their noses.
The commander of several rows of soldiers around him, all of them are in armor.
Qi Mansion is not a battlefield, why do you need such a grand dress?
Qi Muze roughly guessed the reason, his own merits were high, and it was inevitable that Emperor Gao would be distracted.
But this heavy army surrounded by Manchuria, is it afraid that Qi Muze will rebel in front of the holy decree?
Looking at these trapped men and women, it is clear that the Imperial Guards have come with a very strict holy decree.
When Gonggong Zhang saw Qi Muze and the others coming out of the backyard, he waved the white Buddha dust in his hand: "Qi Muze, the prince of the first grade, has a foreign connection, fornicates with the harem concubines, ignores the imperial power, bullies the monarch, and is rebellious, Your Majesty has an order, and he will be decided!" ”
Gonggong Zhang's sharp voice was like thunder, and before the aftermath fell, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army had already given an order, "Take it all down for me, except for the second prince and the third prince!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Qi Muze, Xu Peiqin, Qi Qing'er, Steward Ji, and the henchmen in Qi Shuai's army, men, women, and children were all forcibly pressed to their knees, and the sword shadow behind them fell to the ground.
Qi Qing'er didn't understand what Gonggong Zhang said about treason and fornication, holding the Qingyun Sword, so stubborn that he didn't want to kneel.
Qi Muze glanced at his daughter distressedly, and then looked up and smiled: "My Qi Mansion has always been bright and fair, and I, Qi Muze, have never done anything worthy of my Dayu Dynasty, I don't understand these crimes that Gonggong Zhang said!" ”
Gonggong Zhang pursed his thin lips, narrowed his eyes into a slit, and shook his hand to throw the Buddha dust to the other side: "All the men in the Qi Mansion will be killed on the spot, regardless of age and status, and all the female dependents will be exiled to the border of the Northern Regions immediately." ”
Hearing this, Jun Sheng, who was the prince, was completely confused for a while, and remembered that he was only five or six years old when he first arrived in Qi Mansion, and his father personally sent him to Qi Mansion, saying that he would learn from Uncle Qi carefully in the future.
At that time, my father looked at Uncle Qi's eyes, full of trust and affirmation, and Junsheng still remembers it vividly after so many years.
In the past, whenever Gonggong Zhang was ordered to go to the Qi Mansion, it was basically a reward from Emperor Gao, or an urgent matter required Qi Muze to enter the palace immediately to discuss.
This time, Gonggong Zhang brought the news of the destruction of the mansion, Qing'er did not understand the treason and fornication, Junsheng understood, which of these is not a major crime of destroying the nine clans.
Jun Seung looked at the mess in front of him, lost his movements, and froze there. Until Qi Qing'er's screams pierced his eardrums, and Uncle Qi's blood spilled all over the court steps in front of him.
How can you be so awake if you have a nightmare?
Junsheng ran in the direction of Qing'er and shouted at the few soldiers who dragged Qing'er to the ground: "Let go of her, this king is here, Hugh is so presumptuous!" ”
Before the words fell, Junsheng's whole person was set up in the air.
Gonggong Zhang nervously pointed to the soldiers who stopped King Qi and said, "Be optimistic about King Qi, don't let him have any more contact with Qi Qing'er!" ”
The Qi Mansion, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, was now filled with the helpless and frightened cries of King Xiao Xuan.
Jun Yu stood in place, crying, his shoes and pants soaked with blood on the ground, not knowing what to do, his shoulders trembling up and down with violent sobs.
Junsheng broke free from the hands of several soldiers again, walked to the pool of blood, and picked up the Qingyun Sword left by Qing'er.
The body of the sword was stained with blood, and it was extremely dazzling in the light, and the red seemed to be about to devour the entire Jingling City.
The birthday of a ten-year-old girl, is this a gift from her father?
At this time, after dealing with the exile of the female dependents, Gonggong Zhang returned to the Qi Mansion, and saw Xiaoxuan Wang Junyu standing in a pool of blood, and hurriedly picked him up, covering Junyu's eyes with his hands, but Junyu was still crying.
Gonggong Zhang gave King Qi a look and motioned for King Qi to go out with him.
Stepping out of the Qi Mansion, Junsheng looked up behind him, the plaque inscribed by Emperor Gao on the door was particularly shocking, and the main gate was still brilliant, but it was just a world away from the mess inside the door.
The corpses in the mansion were carried out by the soldiers through the side door, including the exiled women, who were all sinners and were not qualified to go through the main gate again, even if they were the doors of the mansion of the guilty ministers.
Jun Sheng stood on his heels and refused to leave, and suddenly heard the sound of whipping from the side door of the Qi Mansion, Jun Sheng realized that it was his future princess, how could he be bullied like this.
Heading towards the side door, Jun Seung used all his strength to run again.
As soon as Gonggong Zhang saw King Qi's posture, he immediately put down the Jun Eucalyptus in his hand and chased after him.
At this time, a figure appeared outside the walls of the Qi Mansion, it was Ling Wang Gao Junyang, who was only one year older than Junsheng, and it was the Junyang brother in Qi Qing'er's mouth.
"His Royal Highness King Ling, stop King Qi quickly!" Gonggong Zhang is middle-aged, his body is bloated, coupled with his half-yin and half-yang gait, he runs very slowly, and when he saw King Ling, he raised his voice for help.
Although Junyang is only a year older than Junsheng, he is a lot taller, and he reached out and grabbed Junsheng.
"Brother Huang, my father doesn't know why he wants to kill Uncle Qi and exile Qing'er, you and I have been taught by Uncle Qi, and I also grew up watching Qing'er, do you want to stand on the side of Gonggong Zhang?!" All Junsheng can think about now is to intercede in front of his father for Qing'er, so as to avoid the pain of exile on the border.
"Junsheng, you...... Let's hurry back to the palace and see your queen mother! ”
"What happened to my mother?"
"Your mother has been stripped of the title of queen by her father, and she has been sent to the cold palace!"
"..... what are you talking about?!"
At this time, Junsheng could probably guess that he had fornicated with the harem concubines, referring to his mother and Qi Muze, what a big crime this is, and his mother was charged with such a crime, I am afraid that the prince should also choose someone else.
Gonggong Zhang ran forward panting, and ordered the other eunuchs who were leaving the palace with him to block King Qi's way.
After listening to Jun Yang's words, Jun Sheng raised a bloodstained hand over his forehead, put it under his chin again, and finally held it tremblingly on top of the Qingyun Sword, revealing pale bone joints.
