Chapter 317: Edict to the World
"Qi Qing tell me what to do."
Emperor Jianyuan was a little anxious, so he directly interrupted Qi Jing and Kong Youan's edge.
Qi Jing smiled: "Your Majesty just spread this letter to the world, and said in the court newspaper that the Emperor Taishang's generation of Ming Jun is worried about the life of the people, and he will never ask His Majesty to cede the two states of Jinsu for the sake of his own safety, this is afraid that the Northern Liang people wrote a letter under the pretense of the Emperor's handwriting, and now the Emperor Taishang does not know how the Northern Liang does not know, whether it is life or death, where can the land be ceded because of a letter." ”
Emperor Jianyuan nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Yes, yes, where is the Emperor Taishang willing to write such a letter, not to mention how Sheji is born, if he really writes it, even under Jiuquan, he will not be able to see the ancestors and ancestors." ”
The ministers also laughed: "Regardless of the faint monarch and the emperor in the past dynasties, I have never seen such a happy cession of the country, that is, although the emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre and incompetent, but when the great grandfather led the troops into Chang'an, didn't he commit suicide because he didn't want to affect the people of Chang'an, how can I say that the emperor is much stronger than the emperor." ”
"Now that the weather is cold like this, I don't know what is going on with the Emperor Taishang in Beiliang, his body and bones are not good, what if he is not warm and hungry? At such an age, I still have to suffer such a sin, which really makes me worry when I think about it. Emperor Jianyuan wanted to bite Emperor Chengping to death, but he still had to act in front of the minister: "It's me who is not filial, so that Emperor Taishang suffers such a sin." ”
While speaking, Emperor Jianyuan arched his hand towards the north: "I can't stand the emperor anymore, and I must no longer be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors." ”
Qi Jing laughed: "What His Majesty said is, it's just that the minister thinks that as long as we bite this excuse and don't let go, and ignore how Beiliang shouts, maybe Beiliang will be able to send the Emperor back by himself in a few days." ”
Qian Yuanqing listened to it and thought about it and clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, since Beiliang Yuan has the idea of letting the Emperor Taishang come back to stir up trouble, let's ignore it, they will be in a hurry first, it will definitely not take long to release the Emperor Taishang, when the time comes, let's explain to the people again, it's not that His Majesty doesn't care about the life or death of the Emperor, but that he really can't care about the life and death of the people in Jinsu and Suzhou, so he can only use this method to fool the Beiliang side, so as to ensure that he can take back the Emperor Taishang without cutting the land, think about it, Even the Emperor Taishang can understand it. ”
Emperor Jianyuan slapped the table after hearing this: "Cheng, just do it, Qi Qing plans to edict the world, a few of you are also careful, so that you can visit the movements of Beiliang, especially the military department, you will prepare an elite army first, and you will be able to use it in a few days." ”
All these ministers stood up and saluted, and they all said yes.
After Qi Jing and Emperor Jianyuan finished talking, seeing that there was nothing else, they got up and said goodbye.
He didn't leave the palace when he left Zichen Palace, but turned around and went to Fengming Palace.
When Qi Jing passed, Qi Baobox was just finished sitting and reading a book, and when she saw Qi Jing begging to see her, she quickly called someone to invite her in, she was wearing a homely cotton robe, her hair was loosely pulled, and she went to the door to greet Qi Jing with a book.
Qi Jing entered the house, rubbed his hands first, threw the cloak he was wearing to a little palace maid, and he went straight to the stove to roast his hands.
Qi Baobox smiled and personally handed over a cup of hot tea: "Why is the fourth brother here today?" ”
Qi Jing also smiled: "I happened to have something to discuss with Your Majesty, and after the discussion, I thought that I hadn't seen you for a few days, so I stopped by to see you, are you okay now?" Is there anything missing in the palace? It's inconvenient for you to go out of the palace, so if you want something, ask someone to bring me a letter, and I'll have everything ready for you to bring into the palace. ”
Qi Baobox asked Qi Jing to sit down: "I know in my heart, and I don't lack anything." ”
"What are you talking about, how old are you, it's time to be bright, where there will be no shortage of things." Qi Jing shook his head, took a sip of tea and looked at Qi Baobox: "Although you and Your Majesty are frugal, you can't be too different, you look at the way you look now, where is there a little girl alive, according to me, you can't be so wronged, even if Your Majesty is tight here, or there is no money in the palace for a while, you can't be mean to you, no matter what, you still have a brother, your brother has no great ability, and you can't afford to spend money on a palace, but you can be alone, don't be wronged when you eat, drink and dress, If you want anything, just tell your brother. ”
"Hmm." Qi Baobox nodded with a smile, but there was obviously a little wetness in his eyes: "I don't have any grievances, I eat and dress warmly every day, and there are people to serve me, so what's not to be satisfied with." ”
When she said this, it can be seen that she has made up her mind not to trouble her mother's brother, and Qi Jing has nothing to persuade, so she had to smile and said: "Your sister-in-law just got a few new pieces of jewelry a few days ago, I look good, your sister-in-law said that you are wearing it properly, and I will ask someone to bring it to you in a few days." ”
Qi Baobox didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile.
Qi Jing looked around, stretched out his hand and clicked on the table, Qi Baobox knew that he had something important to talk about, so he ordered the palace people who were serving: "You don't need to wait here, let's all go down." ”
Those palace eunuchs all whispered yes and respectfully withdrew.
When there was no one in the house, Qi Baobox leaned over: "Fourth brother, what is the matter?" ”
Qi Jing sat steadily: "I'll come over to discuss the next important matter with you, it is about the emperor, you know and I know this matter, but don't leak it out." ”
Qi Baobox nodded solemnly: "I know, you say." ”
Qi Jing deliberately lowered his voice: "I have persuaded His Majesty, he will never exchange the two states of Jinsu for the emperor, and all the ministers have agreed, but I think that His Majesty will not cede the two states of Jinsu, and the Northern Liang side will not give up, and the emperor will come back sooner or later." ”
"You can't call him back." Qi Baobox was also anxious when he heard it: "He wants to come back, maybe how many things will happen, His Majesty Xià took over this big mess, it is already bitter enough, as soon as the Emperor Taishang stirs up, His Majesty Xià can't ...... yet."
Qi Baobox was really worried about Emperor Jianyuan, and almost shed tears when he said it.
Qi Jing looked at Qi Baobox with concern: "Don't worry, I'm here to discuss this matter with you." ”
"The fourth brother just said, if there is anything I can do, I will never refuse." Qi Bao Box was in a hurry to show his heart.
Qi Jing paused for a moment, his face became more and more solemn, and the whole person exuded a coldness like a stone carving: "I have the same meaning as you, I must not call the Emperor Taishang back, I thought, if Beiliang really let the Emperor come back, His Majesty will definitely send someone to greet the Emperor, when the time comes, we will stuff some dead soldiers in the guards of the Emperor Taishang, as soon as they receive the Emperor Taishang, these dead soldiers will act immediately and directly give the Emperor Taishang ......"
Speaking of this, Qi Jing made a gesture of beheading: "The dead man only said that the family died because of the emperor, and he came to take revenge today, so after shouting, he killed himself in front of the two armies." ”
Qi Baobox nodded after hearing this: "This idea has come true, now the palace is in charge of me, I will pick a few eunuchs and palace maids to follow me, and the name will say that they are going to serve the emperor, in case the dead soldiers picked by my brother do not succeed, these eunuchs and palace maids can also be assassinated." ”
Qi Jing nodded solemnly: "I came to look for you with this idea, let's prepare in many ways, we must not ask the Emperor Taishang to come back." ”
Qi Baobox said very firmly: "Brother, don't worry, the matter next to me may not be successful, but the matter of arranging someone to assassinate will not be bad at all." ”
Speaking of this, she said angrily and hatefully: "Count all over Chang'an, I don't know how many people are eager for the Emperor Taishang to die immediately, even many of the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace are very hated to the Emperor, and ask them to assassinate, these people are absolutely willing." ”
After thinking about it, Qi Baobox added: "I will also find those who have been gracious to His Majesty, these people are now extremely loyal to His Majesty, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup for His Majesty." ”
Qi Jing was relieved when he knew that this had happened, and then sighed: "It's not that I ruthlessly asked people to exchange their lives for the life of the Emperor, but it's true, if the Emperor really comes back, I don't know how many more lives he will add in the future." ”
"I know, my brother doesn't have to explain." Qi Baobox hooked his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty can't do this matter, in the end, he is also the son of the Emperor, where in the world is there a son who kills Lao Tzu, so, we can only do it secretly." ”
The brother and sister exchanged a look, and then they didn't mention this matter anymore, Qi Jing just drank tea, and Qi Baobox was busy asking someone to bring a lot of dried fruits to Qi Jing.
Qi Jing grabbed a handful and ate it, chatted with Qi Baobox for a while, and saw that it was not early, so he got up and said goodbye.
As soon as he left on the front foot, Emperor Jianyuan came over on the back foot, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Qi Baobox what Qi Jing was doing, where could Qi Baobox tell him that his brother and sister were discussing the matter of killing his father, and only said that Qi Jing came to see her and gossiped a few words.
Emperor Jianyuan didn't think about it elsewhere, and said with a smile that if he was bored, he would summon Yun Yao into the palace to talk, and when the Qi family's parents came back after the New Year, Qi Baobox could summon Qi Gu's family into the palace to live for a few days, and relieve the pain of homesickness.
Qi Baobox agreed with a smile, and accompanied Emperor Jianyuan for a while, and when it was time for dinner, the emperor and queen had eaten, and the two went out to hang out for a while, and then came back to rest after eating.
On the second day, Emperor Jianyuan announced the letter written by Emperor Chengping and the holy decree to the world.
After seeing the letter, the people all scolded Emperor Chengping behind their backs for why he didn't die, and when he saw the holy decree, he said that Emperor Jianyuan said very much, no matter how incompetent the king is, he will not give the great rivers and mountains to outsiders, and this letter must be forged by Beiliang.
Later, Qi Jing and Emperor Jianyuan's henchmen arranged for people to spread rumors in various places to induce the people to be more disgusted and hateful to Emperor Chengping, and it didn't take long for a class of rumors to circulate in various places, that is, Emperor Chengping was long gone, maybe he would die on the way to Beiliang, and Beiliang saw that Emperor Chengping was gone, and he couldn't take advantage of Emperor Jianyuan, and he was afraid that Emperor Jianyuan would govern the Great Zhou and take revenge on Beiliang, so he set up such a poisonous plan.
Emperor Beiliang must have known that Emperor Jianyuan was a filial son, so he asked someone to write this letter in the handwriting of Emperor Chengping, with the intention of taking the two states of Jin and Su, and then seizing the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou.
As soon as this rumor spread, it was said that the people believed it, regardless of what the officials were.
These people don't think too much, they only think that Emperor Chengping's letter hinders their own interests, they naturally don't want to, the people think that if Emperor Chengping dies, no one can collect strange stones and increase taxes everywhere, how much better their life will be.
Therefore, the people were willing to accept Emperor Ping's death, and no one questioned the rumors. (To be continued.) )
