Rewind to a few hours ago.

Han Rui and his entourage were intercepted and killed by the gang of bandits who pretended to be performers and forced to the corner of the alley.

However, after a while, the two guards brought by Han Rui fell to the ground, and the old butler was beheaded early.

Han Rui was alone to protect a few officials behind him, guarding more than a dozen big men in front of him.

After a while, the five officers and soldiers gradually gathered, and the bandits knew that time was running out, so they rushed up and slashed at Han Rui.

After a fight, Han Rui found that his body seemed to have changed.

Every attack of the other party was defused by Han Rui by avoiding or retreating, squatting or jumping, but he was not aware of it at all!

It's like...

Knee jerk reflex!

"Trained on the battlefield?"

Before he had time to think about it, Han Rui raised his sword and slashed at the villain—at this time, there were only six people left on the other side.

Unexpectedly, when the other party saw Han Rui's posture, a strong man broke his wrist!

Five of them fought to the death and forced Han Rui away, and the remaining one stepped forward and killed the official who was bound hand and foot.

When Han Rui got rid of the five big men, he turned around and saw the only remaining bandit stepping on the corpse of the servant, smiling strangely at Han Rui, and then drawing his sword and killing himself...

Just like in film and television dramas, the government officials and soldiers are late at this time to clean up the mess.

When Han Rui returned to Luan's Mansion, he was seen by Luan Yi with a blood-stained appearance, and without waiting for Han Rui to say more, he dragged him to the outside of the palace.

Now, Luan Yi is tearfully making a small report to His Majesty Emperor Jing.

"Your Majesty~What a crime is there~~~"

After an exaggerated howl, he found that there was only his own voice in the hall, Luan Yi stopped and secretly looked at the throne.

On the fifty-fifth level of the imperial staircase, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, still maintained a sitting posture, and at such a distance, Han Rui and the others couldn't see what His Majesty the Emperor was.

Liu Qi's mistakes are clear.

This expression...

Kneeling down in a panic, Chao Cuo's forehead was pressed against the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

The last time this expression appeared on His Majesty's face was more than twenty years ago - Prince Wu was stoned to death by this chessboard!

This is the face of His Majesty who wants to kill!

And there is such a thing in Chang'an City, Chao Cuo, as an internal official, can't clear the connection...

At the very least, it's dereliction of duty!

"Bang !!"

Sure enough, Luan Yi and the others didn't wait long before they heard a loud noise.

When I looked up, I saw an inkstone smashed to the ground and shattered!

"Someone!"

The warriors of the forbidden army who were on guard outside the door hurriedly entered the hall: "Your Majesty orders." ”

Liu Qi's anger was out of control, and his eyebrows trembled: "Tell Zhonglang to roll over and see me!! ”

"No!"

The samurai took the order and left, and only the palace maids and eunuchs and Han Rui who knelt on the ground were left in the hall, and only Liu Qi, who was smashing things in a rage, was still standing.

"Bastard!"

"All bastards!!

A porcelain plate shattered at the sound, and the fragments splashed onto Chao Cuo's face, cutting a bloody hole; Chao Cuo didn't dare to move, still burying his face on the wooden plank.

Until half an hour later, the warrior of the forbidden army led the Wuguan Zhonglang to rush to Weiyang Palace, Liu Qi's anger still did not reduce in the slightest, and the ground was full of debris.

Poor Zhonglang will be a lot old, and he was summoned to Weiyang Palace at this time, and the monarch's angry appearance really frightened the old Zhonglang.

trembling and kneeling on the ground, he didn't dare to make a sound at all, looking like a mistake who was also kneeling next to the throne.

Liu Qi sat back on the throne panting, and was about to take a breath, when he saw the Zhonglang General kneeling below, and the anger that had just been reduced by fatigue was even worse!

picked up a piece of paperweight jade casually, and threw it under the throne regardless of it: "I still have the face to see me!" ”

The paperweight crossed a very artistic arc in the air, and smashed on the back of Zhonglang's head impartially!

"Chang'an is in such a mess, do you want to die?"

There are people who dare to commit murder in the streets of the capital!

Next, isn't it time to enter the palace and stab the holy driver?

Han Rui, who was originally resentful and wanted to sue the emperor fiercely, saw this, and there was no anger in his heart, only endless fear...

Your Majesty, you are really angry!

You see, it feels so good!

The innocent Zhonglang will 'lie down and hit the paperweight', the back of his head was smashed, and blood flowed immediately.

But he still shouldn't raise his head, keep kowtowing, and call it a capital crime.

Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Chao Cuo's eyes with anger: "Chang'an is safe, isn't the internal official to blame?" ”

Chao Cuo's already trembling body trembled even more violently: "Minister... Dereliction of duty..."

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Liu Qi couldn't find a place to vent his anger in his heart, and became more and more manic.

"Chuntuo!"

With a loud shout, among the eunuchs kneeling down at the palace gate, an old eunuch in his fifties walked out: "The old slave is in..."

Liu Qi picked up a brush from the messy imperial case and wrote the cloth brocade: "Summoning Zhonglang Zuo and Zhizhi!" ”

"Order, Zhonglang left office and other people to gather!!"

"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, turn Chang'an over for me, and I have to find out the thief!"

"The old slave obeys..."

The old eunuch took the order and left, and in the hall, except for Han Rui, the rest of the people trembled, including Luan Yi.

Things are completely out of trouble!!

·

Since the time of Lu Hou, after the bandits were gradually caught and driven out, the residents of Chang'an have hardly seen the scene of soldiers and horses surging on the streets like today.

The last time the streets of Chang'an were congested by soldiers, it was twenty-five years ago, when the princes and ministers punished Zhu Lu!

"Mother, are you going to war?"

A young man's immature questioning voice caused the women around him to panic: "Slap your mouth!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry back to the house!"

In the Changle Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was sitting beside his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou, with a stiff face.

In his early years, the first emperor was the acting king, and the land was evil and the people were poor, and the palace was unable to make ends meet all year round.

At that time, the old queen mother was still the acting queen, and often went down to the field with the first emperor who was still the acting king.

That's right!

A princely king, with his own queen and prince, go down to the field to farm!

And the old queen mother is also very virtuous, and she personally sets an example, raising silkworms and drawing silk to weave brocade.

Later, the first emperor entered Chang'an and inherited the unification, and the queen of 'Dou' became the queen.

But the habits developed in the early years still can't be left behind, in the queen's palace, all the brocade clothes are all Dou family with the palace maids, raising silkworms and sewing by themselves, from raw materials to production, without wasting every penny.

Thanks to the simplicity of the Dou family and the first emperor, the first emperor reigned for twenty-three years, and the sum of the degrees in the palace was not as good as the expenses of any column of waiting for a year.

Just kidding, the queen mother sewed clothes herself, and the emperor pulled up his trouser legs and went to the field to farm, who in the palace dared to be extravagant and wasteful, and compare extravagance?

The old queen mother has nothing to say, but she has been fiddling with needlework all year round, which makes the old lady's eyes worse and worse.

At this time, the Queen Mother sat in front of the emperor's son, and could only see a vague face with a beard hanging under it.

"Why is the emperor so angry that the streets of Chang'an are filled with officers and soldiers?"

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, smiled bitterly: "Mother already knows..."

The old queen mother chuckled and patted her sour thighs: "Flesh and blood are connected~ Even if the mourning family can't see it, you can know whether Your Majesty is happy or worried." ”

Looking at his mother's tired appearance, Liu Qi gradually felt ashamed in his heart: "The emperor has annoyed his mother again..."

Hearing this, the faint smile on the face of the Queen Mother passed away, and the sudden majesty even made Liu Qidu, the son of heaven, tremble in his heart!

"Let's all go down."

After retiring from the palace eunuch in the palace, the old queen mother's face Zheng Zhongde shouted to Liu Qi: "Kneel!" ”

Liu Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother: "Mother, why is this?" ”

The old queen mother's eyes were unfocused, but her cold face was full of anger: "What did you say?" ”

"Do you still think you are the crown prince?"

I didn't know why, Liu Qi still kowtowed obediently and said: "Mother is angry, the emperor knows that he is wrong..."

The old queen mother let out a sigh of relief, groped forward to help Liu Qi up, pulled him to her side and sat down.

"Qi'er..."

"You have to remember that you are now the Emperor of the Great Han! He is the lord of the country! ”

"It's the Son of Heaven who has a constitution in his mouth and follows the law!"

Empress Dou's increasingly fierce tone made Liu Qi even more puzzled: "What does mother mean?" ”

The Queen Mother's tone gradually softened: "Idiot~"

"My old Liu family, how could I have reprimanded my children and grandchildren for doing something wrong?"

"The worst thing for a king is not to do wrong!"

"And do nothing..."

Liu Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Mother is saying that the emperor's move is right?" ”

The old lady's slightly trembling hand gently patted Liu Qi's head: "You are the emperor~"

"Emperor, there can be no mistake."

"Understood?"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Qi nodded heavily and bowed deeply to his mother: "The queen's teachings are remembered by the emperor!" ”

The queen reverted to her usual gentleness and kindness: "Go." ”

"Just let it go."

"Mother's side, I'm free to go and talk about it."

The last trace of concern was dissipated, Liu Qi bowed again, and left lightly.

Returning to Weiyang Palace, looking at Luan Yi, Han Rui, Chao Cuo and others who were still kneeling on the ground, Liu Qi, who had calmed down, had a clear mind for a while.

With an indifferent face, the eunuch helped Luan Yi and Han Rui up and gave them seats; looked at Chao Cuo's eyes: "Teacher, get up too." ”

Chao got up and stood respectfully on Liu Qi's side, his knees still trembling.

Slowly raising his head, turning a blind eye to the Zhonglang general who was kneeling in the hall and almost fainting, Liu Qi asked the eunuch of His Royal Highness: "Zhonglang Zuo General Zhidu, have you arrived?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Zhizhong Lang said: If you don't capture the head of the thief, you will see Your Majesty without a word." ”

"Now, Zhi Zhonglang is personally leading the soldiers to arrest the murderers from house to house..."

Sitting on the side and rubbing his knees, Han Rui almost bit off his tongue when he heard this!

Who else dares to put the emperor's greeting aside?

Balls!

Liu Qi on the throne was not as angry as Han Rui imagined, looked down at the folds, and muttered casually: "This is a loyal minister..."

"I know kowtow all day long, what kind of minister is it?"

Liu Qi may have really muttered in a low voice, but Rao is Han Rui, who was sitting in the corner of the hall near the door, also heard every word clearly!

Because of the Han court, it was designed and scientific so that the courtiers could hear the holy teachings of the monarch clearly; The beams and the screen behind the throne are all designed based on the principle of 'how to transmit sound and how to have a good effect'!

The gray-haired old man in the hall was already very old, and he was 'wounded' and knelt for a long time; when he heard Liu Qi's 'unintentional' complaint, he immediately fainted and fainted.

Liu Qi's eyes were still on the fold in his hand, and he didn't raise his head: "Zhonglang will be old, help him down and rest." ”

In a word, Lao Zhonglang's political career officially came to an end.

After saying that, Liu Qi threw the fold in his hand back to the imperial case, and leaned on the throne to close his eyes and recuperate.

On the royal case, the words on the cover of the fold are vigorous and powerful: cutting the feudal policy.
