"Report ——!"

"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, a letter of crusade from the state of Qin is huge all the way from Pinggu Pass, straight to the county capital, first to the gate of Biancheng, please make a decision."

"Report ——!"

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, Yuzhou City is lost, Qinguo attacked overnight, and has already marched to Sanzhou City, Sanzhou City is in danger, please Your Majesty quickly go to support."

"Report ——!"

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, my Changqingjiang garrison soldiers and Qinguo soldiers have a fierce battle, the contradiction is rising, the situation is sharp, please Your Majesty give the order to fight."

The sun had just shown half of its face from the east, and the light in the hall was even a little dim, but this urgent report rushed in like snowflakes, sealed and cold, and it was difficult to decide.

The ministers of the main hall were more or less flustered, but the emperor sitting on the golden throne had a calm expression and a gentle face, as if he had expected all this, and as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty." An old minister came out of the ranks, bowed his hand and said, "Qinguo sent a war book, and one thing was exaggerated along the way, and now there is nothing that the people in the whole country don't know." ”

Emperor Qi looked at the old minister lightly, and asked, "What is it that makes Qinguo go to such great trouble?" ”

"This ...... This ...... "The old minister hesitated for a while and knelt directly on the ground" is the case of the prince of Qinguo being attacked and poisoned in our country, they said...... They sincerely want to cooperate with us and contribute to the peace and tranquility of the people of the two countries, but our country deliberately deceived their Royal Highness the Crown Prince, intending to assassinate their Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the name of an unwarranted 'assassin and bandit', and also broke the promise, openly renegeing the original alliance promise. If Your Majesty doesn't give them an explanation, even if you raise the strength of the whole country, you have to ...... Get rid of us who are insidious and cunning, and who have no benevolence and morality, in order to avenge their humiliation of the country. ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! How dare this Qin country slander my Daqi so grandly? ”

"Lord Shilang, you can't say that, this matter is indeed not very beautiful in our Qi country, their prince is in our Qi country, and for the alliance, it is indeed our violation of our promise first."

"Fart, they directly violated my Daqi, and they didn't even say hello, what kind of decent men and gentlemen are they? Your Majesty, the last general will please fight the Qin country and recapture Yuzhou! ”

"Don't go into battle at every turn, if you don't die a few more people, you martial artists won't be happy, right? Once you will succeed in ten thousand bones, how many bones do you want to step on? ”

"You guys! Hum! You literati, who have become astronomical crepes, have really encountered something, and they slipped away faster than anyone else, and they are embarrassed to come to me and say to me, 'One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither'? If I step on a bone, I'll be the first to step on you! ”

"Okay, you really want to be a traitor and a thief, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of Weichen!"

"Who is the thief, I don't think your ancestors are a good thing for the eighth generation!"

"Shame on you! I'm fighting you brainless puppet today! ”

"Come on, I'm afraid that if you don't succeed, I'll chew the root of your tongue in front of Your Majesty and move your broken pen—"

As soon as the old minister's words came out, the court immediately exploded, some people scolded loudly, and some people also felt that they were indeed at fault, and gradually, the quarrel became louder and louder, and the contradictions that the military generals had accumulated over the years also seemed to be suddenly ignited, crackling and blowing up the entire Jinluan Palace.

Emperor Qi sat on it, and he didn't stop drinking, nor did he get angry, just quietly watching the ministers who were scuffling below.

The mood is peaceful, calm and relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Qinguo's move is nothing more than forcing us to find the gangsters who kidnapped Prince Cen, let's just find them." Zhang Zhiyou calmly stood in a mess, bowed his hand, and said his advice to Emperor Qi: "Just now, Qin and our Qi have experienced a big war, and they urgently need to recuperate, and the two countries are fighting, which is not beneficial to anyone, presumably Qin Guo will not dare to really do anything, we just need to hand over the gangsters to them to dispose of, and if the country is not divided, it should not be difficult to negotiate again, so that Qin Guo can issue a document to the world." ”

Emperor Qi thought about it in his heart, but he did not directly agree with Zhang Zhiyou's advice, although Zhang Zhiyou didn't know the specific reason, he could guess one or two.

"Your Majesty, the people of the Qin State have been spreading rumors in the Qi Kingdom, if they catch the handle again and continue to cholera the hearts of the people, then the great cause of the Qi State that you have worked hard for so many years will be ruined in one breath."

Seeing that Emperor Qi was so calm, Zhang Zhiyou expected that he already had an opinion, but no matter what Emperor Qi did, he had to remind him that this was his duty as a courtier.

"What Aiqing is worried about, I know in my heart." Emperor Qi stood up from the dragon chair, "I will first have Lao Aiqing personally go outside Biancheng and invite the envoy who handed over the war letter to live in the inn, and I will give him an answer tomorrow." ”

Zhang Zhiyou knelt down and received the order: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Emperor Qi left, without a single attendant, left behind the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who were fighting happily, and left the hall directly.

Without any thought or hesitation, he walked to the front of the imperial study, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Yuan Cheng." He walked over to the bed. Ninety-six flavors

The light in the imperial study was very dim, and almost all the windows were blocked by Yuan Cheng with bamboo curtains, he didn't want to see the outside world, and he didn't want to see the people outside.

"After sleeping for so many days, you should be awake." Emperor Qi sighed slightly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Green Branches...... Dead? He was still facing inside, his whole body curled up, his voice hoarse and low.

Emperor Qi shook his head, "No, someone came to her, and she escaped." ”

"Why ......"

"I know that they are hiding in the Yong'an Taoist Temple, you said, you beg me to let her go," Emperor Qi stretched out his hand and pulled away the quilt wrapped around Gu Yuancheng's body, then got up and walked to the window, and pulled up the bamboo curtains one by one, "I left her a glimmer of life." ”

The blinding light pierced through the dim mire of the room, illuminating everything at once.

The figure on the bed froze, his throat hoarse, and his eyes closed.

"She won't let Qi Guo go easily."

He knows her temperament, and she will never be soft in the face of national honor and disgrace.

"I know," Emperor Qi found an empty seat and sat down, "I don't know her, but I still know the consequences of letting the enemy go." ”

With that, he looked at the table full of untouched food, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he reached out and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Qin State took advantage of the war in front of him to settle down, and immediately captured Yuzhou City at an astonishing speed, and the people of Qi State were also discouraged by the rumors they spread...... Shen Qingzhi, this girl, is indeed a good skill. He smiled admiringly, and then shook his head helplessly, "If I can live a few more years, you just like her, I will definitely think for you, but ......"

"Your Majesty, don't say any more." Gu Yuancheng suddenly sat up from the bed and interrupted what he was about to say almost rudely.

He got out of bed and knelt directly in front of Emperor Qi, "The future of the Qi country, Weichen is willing to carry it, Your Majesty...... Wechen begged His Majesty to let go of these things and take care of his body. ”

Emperor Qi looked at Gu Yuancheng who was kneeling on the ground, although he was a little relieved in his heart, but more helpless and guilty.

He knew that he would achieve his goal, whether it was deliberately letting go of Shen Qingzhi or confined Gu Yuancheng to the imperial study, he was as powerful as fire and water for Shen Qingzhi and him.

Now that the country of Buda has been eliminated, only the country of Qin and their country of Qi remain, once there is a mistake on both sides, they may be seized by the other party, and then devoured.

He is the monarch of the Qi State, and no matter what, he can't let the Qi State be destroyed in his hands.

It's just like this, it will inevitably hurt Yuan Cheng, life is short, how difficult it is to meet the love in his heart, he broke them up like this......

"She wants to teach me a lesson and hand over Huizhong, but Huizhong ......" Emperor Qi sighed, "She is at fault, how many people in the world are trapped by love, but after all, she is my imperial sister, I thought, it's time to clean up the people in the harem." ”

Gu Yuancheng raised his head in some surprise, "Your Majesty, the time is not yet ripe, you did not hesitate to destroy the relationship between the queen mother and you at the beginning......"

"I can't watch Huizhong fall into the abyss like this, there is no turning back." Emperor Qi stood up, he sighed slightly, and walked in front of Gu Yuancheng, "I know that Prince Qin's poisoning is also your share, you are for Qi Guo, and I also understand it in my heart...... But there is one thing, I hope that you will always have your heart in your heart, I am not the kind of person who can reckless my siblings for the sake of the interests of the Qi country, this is true for Huizhong, and the same is true for you. ”

Gu Yuancheng clenched his hands tightly and suddenly let go.

"Your Majesty, such a road will be very difficult."

Emperor Qi smiled and bent down to help him up.

"I know, but the reason why I wanted to be this emperor in the first place was that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, not suffer from displacement, and that neighboring relatives could respect each other and treat each other in harmony.

In fact, sometimes, Gu Yuancheng doesn't know whether to say that Li Dai is naïve, or wants to force himself not to abandon his innocence, looking at ancient and modern times, which emperor's road is not paved with bones and corpses? Which emperor does not have the blood of the so-called "relatives" in his hands?

The so-called emperor is to be ruthless, break through all kinds of fog, go against the current, and strengthen his faith, no matter who stands in front of him.

But Li Dai is different, he is too gentle, he is not a king at all.

He has been forcing himself, has been forcing himself, but how many people in the world know about his extra efforts? Will they remember that there was a monarch who, for their sake, almost exhausted his own life?
