Chapter 369: After Loyalty

Restore Li Tang Jiangshan!

Qin Xiao and the others thought of Li Tuo almost instantly, and Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were even more fierce.

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Xiao deliberately asked, "Isn't it the Tang Dynasty today?" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Shengtai's expression became cold: "Don't you know that seventeen years ago, the demon queen usurped the throne and caused chaos in the world, and Li Tang had already been usurped at that time. In order to eradicate the demon queen, many loyal and righteous people have raised troops one after another, but because of bad luck, they were suppressed by the demon queen. But justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the demon queen is not in the right position, although many of Li Tang's loyal and good will be suppressed or even martyred, but the surviving righteous people are all thinking about restoring Li Tang's country every day. ”

Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart.

Zhao Shengtai's words are not much different from Li Tuo's group, they all want to pull the current saint off the throne and support the Li family's royal family to re-ascend the throne, he can't help but think in his heart, could it be that behind the Queen Mother will be the shadow of Li Tuo's group.

Bai Jingzhai was scheming, dormant for many years, and carefully arranged with Fan Ziqi and his henchmen, and finally launched a rebellion in Xiling, controlling Xiling in one fell swoop, wanting to divide one side and plot the empire.

If it is said that this group of people secretly arranged and developed their strength in the Guannai, it is not impossible.

If the mastermind behind the Queen Mother Guild is really Bai Jingzhai's party, then this will pose an extremely serious threat to the empire.

There is the support of the Vedic people outside the Guan, and there is also the Queen Mother Association as an internal response inside the Guan, once the climate is formed, the consequences are unimaginable.

For Qin Xiao, it doesn't matter who sits on that chair in Kyoto, whether it is Xiahou or the Li family, as long as he can make the empire peaceful and peaceful, Qin Xiao will not object.

However, Xiling Li Tuo plotted to kill the general, and many brothers died under their butcher's knives, no matter whether Li Tuo's identity was true or false, Qin Xiao would only regard him as an enemy, and he would get rid of him quickly.

If the Queen Mother Society really had a relationship with Li Tuo's gang, the Queen Mother Society would naturally become an opponent in Qin Xiao's list.

"Who is sitting on the throne, and what does it have to do with our small people?" Qin Xiao was just thinking in his heart, but Yuwen Chengchao had already spoken: "I'm at ease, why do I want to rebel with you?" ”

"Rebellion?" Yu Buzhou sneered, but didn't say much.

Zhao Shengtai said solemnly: "This is wrong. I think that the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, generation after generation of holy monarchs, the country is rich and the people are strong, the Li family is orthodox in heaven, after being usurped by the Xiahou Demon Queen, the national strength is declining, and the empire is even more corrupt. The ancients had clouds, and the rise and fall of the country was the responsibility of the husband, how could we, as men of the Tang Dynasty, watch the empire sink into a catastrophe? ”

"What do you mean by the righteous men who survived?" Yuwen Chengchao asked.

Zhao Shengtai said: "The two of you know that after the demon queen usurped the throne, the current king of Zhennan, Murong Chang, was the first to raise troops to defend Li Tang, and since then, many loyal ministers in various states and counties have raised troops angrily, among which Lord Shiwen of Qingzhou personally wrote a blood letter to eradicate the demon queen and revive Li Tang. It's just that the old thief of Taishi didn't think about the first emperor Longen, and even took refuge in the demon queen, became a lackey, and led the troops to encircle and suppress the righteous army, and Lord Wen fought in a bloody battle and was martyred for the country, but his remnants did not give in, and the son of Lord Wen with the remnants was still loyal to Li Tang. ”

"You mean, the son of Wen Thorn Shi is also a member of the Queen Mother's Association?" Yuwen Chengchao was stunned.

"Not bad." Zhao Shengtai seemed to see that Yuwen Chengchao had signs of loosening his mind, and immediately said: "Wen Gongzi is just one of them, and there are many righteous people with one heart and one mind. He raised his hand and stroked his beard and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"Not asked!"

"Do you know that the university scholar Zhao Yankuo Zhao is Lord Zhao?" Zhao Shengtai asked.

Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao glanced at each other.

Qin Xiao was very unfamiliar with this name, but Yuwen Chengchao was very familiar with it.

"Back then, the first emperor passed the edict and established Xiahou as the prince, and the government and the opposition were shocked." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "The scholar Zhao Yankuo sent a letter with twenty-seven courtiers, asking the first emperor to take back the Shengming. After Xiahou ascended the throne, he killed all 27 ministers, including Zhao scholars, in the name of forming a party and disrupting the government. ”

When Yuwen Chengchao spoke, Zhao Shengtai and Yu Buzhou both had cold eyes and clenched their fists, and Qingqing also showed sadness.

"These twenty-seven loyal ministers dedicated themselves to the country, and the demon queen was cruel and vicious, not only these twenty-seven loyal ministers, but also their families, and almost all of them were killed." Zhao Shengtai said coldly: "At the time of the execution, blood stained the entire street. ”

Qin Xiao realized something: "Could it be ...... Are you the ...... of Scholar Zhao? ”

"Not bad." Zhao Shengtai said: "Zhao Shengtai is my brother. When my brother went to the book, I was on an errand in Qingzhou camp, and after knowing this, I knew that something was wrong, so I secretly went to Kyoto to persuade my brother to leave Beijing, but my brother was not afraid at all, and told me that if he left Beijing, there would be fewer people who dared to speak, and insisted on staying to oppose Xiahou, I couldn't persuade him, I could only bring out a little blood of the Zhao family, so as not to let the Zhao family lose its heir. ”

At this time, he had already heard sobbing, and Qin Xiao looked over, it was Qing Qingzhu who burst into tears.

At this time, he finally understood that Qingqing should be a descendant of Zhao Dashi.

Although he had never heard of Zhao Yankuo's name before, when Yuwen Chengchao mentioned Zhao Yankuo, his tone was full of respect, and then he knew Zhao Yankuo's deeds, and suddenly he also had respect for Zhao Yankuo, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, if it looks like this, Qingqing is loyal and good.

Yuwen Chengchao bowed his hand to Zhao Shengtai and said: "It turns out that Mr. is a member of Zhao University's family, and I have offended many people before, so please forgive me." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao Shengtai saw Yuwen Chengchao's attitude, his eyebrows widened, and he said with a smile: "We are still the people wanted by the demon queen now, according to their words, we are anti-thieves." As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we are dormant just to be able to contribute to the recovery of Li Tang one day. Because of this, for more than ten years, we have been incognito and do not easily reveal our names to the outside world. ”

"In that case, why did Mr. Zhao admit his identity today?"

"Sincerity." Zhao Shengtai said solemnly: "Since you have invited Your Excellency to conspire with great things, it is natural to treat each other with sincerity." ”

Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Sir doesn't know us well, and he doesn't even know our names and surnames, so easily revealing our identities, if we are from the imperial court, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous to you?" ”

"Although I don't know the names and surnames of the two, Zhao has been deeply touched by the chivalrous hearts of the two." Zhao Shengtai said with a smile: "If the two of you were from the imperial court, they would not have solved the siege for us." ”

"Not necessarily." Yuwen Chengchao chuckled and said, "Maybe this Yu Gongzi is right

, we just played a scene with Liang Shubao, just to gain your trust. As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Shubao, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"If that's the case, then I'll have to blame myself for being clumsy." Zhao Shengtai said with a smile: "I am willing to gamble, if the bet wins, the queen mother will get the help of the two, like a tiger with wings, then the restoration of Li Tang's great cause will be more certain." ”

Yuwen Chengchao said: "Mr. is really too elevated. It's just that...... Our brother has been free all these years and has no intention of joining any organization, so ......! ”

"Yes, I haven't consulted the two daimyos yet." Zhao Shengtai said.

Qin Xiao remained silent and looked at Yuwen Chengchao, only to see Yuwen Chengchao hesitate for a moment, and finally said: "Contemptible Wang Wenchao." Pointing to Qin Xiao and said, "This is the younger brother Wang Wu Dynasty." ”

Qin Xiao held back his laughter, thinking that Yuwen Chengchao had always been serious, but he couldn't imagine that he was also calm and calm when he lied.

It's just that he was already keenly aware that after Yuwen Chengchao knew that the Queen Mother Society might have something to do with Li Tuo's gang, he obviously deliberately approached Zhao Shengtai, obviously with a plan.

"Wen Dynasty Wu Dynasty, good name, good name." Zhao Shengtai said with a smile: "Brother Wang, although my brother is a civil official, Zhao has been dancing with knives and guns since he was a child, and he joined the army in his early years and has always been in the army, so his temperament is straightforward and will not beat around the bush." Today's meeting with the two of you can be said to be a great fate, and I sincerely invite you to join the Queen Mother Club and work with us to achieve great things. This is not only for the country and the people, to be honest, if he can make meritorious contributions to the court, it is also very possible. ”

Yuwen Chengchao said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it, but if I can really make a name for myself, it is also what I want." ”

"With your talents, if you want to make a name for yourself, it will be a matter of time." Zhao Shengtai said: "Brother Wang, if you are willing, follow me to see the divine envoy, if the divine envoy sees you join the Queen Mother Association, he will be overjoyed." Zhao can guarantee that there will definitely be a chance for you to make contributions in the future. ”

Yuwen Chengchao was thoughtful, Qin Xiao really didn't know what Yuwen Chengchao was thinking for a while, and when he saw Yuwen Chengchao groaning, he thought to himself that this guy really wanted to see that divine envoy.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother Association has a relationship with Li Tuo and his family, their purpose is to oppose the imperial court, and in the eyes of the imperial court, they are naturally anti-thieves.

Now that they are secretly active, if they really surface one day and raise the flag to make trouble, the imperial court will also send troops to suppress it, and if Yuwen Chengchao really has anything to do with them, he will be affected in the future.

He couldn't guess Yuwen Chengchao's plan for a while, and he didn't dare to export it easily.

He really wanted to ask if the Queen Mother would have something to do with the Xiling gang behind it, but as long as he said this, no matter whether Zhao Shengtai recognized Li Tuo or not, his identity on his side would be suspected by the other party, and naturally he couldn't ask.

"What do you think, brother?" Qin Xiao was thinking to himself, and suddenly saw Yuwen Chengchao looking at him, so he could only cooperate: "Everything is decided by the eldest brother, I will listen to you." ”

Yuwen Chengchao bowed slightly, and finally said to Zhao Shengtai: "Mr. Zhao, I said ugly things ahead, join the Queen Mother's Association, can you have a silver collar?" I like wine and meat, you worship the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, can't you eat meat and drink wine? ”

Qin Xiao was stunned in his heart, secretly thinking that Yuwen Chengchao really wanted to join the Queen Mother's Association, but he felt that this was absolutely impossible, thinking that Yuwen Chengchao must have deeper plans.
