217 The Wind of a Gentleman
Jun Qinglan thought that she would die today, but she didn't expect that such a person would stand in front of her regardless of life and death, and this person was Zhang Qian, the biological son of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, who was bent on getting rid of herself.
This situation is really incomprehensible.
The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were stupid. Lao Tzu and his son, which are masters. One wants to kill, the other wants to stay, it doesn't seem appropriate to offend anyone, what should I do? So, everyone turned their heads sideways to look at Prime Minister Zhang.
"Zhang Qian, what are you doing?" Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's face sank, and extreme anger rose from his chest. He thought that today's game was foolproof, but where did he think that it was his son who was disrupting the situation!
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
"Daddy, please." Zhang Qian bowed his hand: "If you let the guards retreat, the children will naturally retreat." ”
"You ......." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's body trembled, and his eyes widened: "Do you know who you are protecting?" ”
He raised his hand and pointed at Jun Qinglan viciously: "It was he who killed your sister with extremely cruel means, and became the queen mother." Such a person, can she be let go? ”
Zhang Qian's feet obviously staggered, and he suddenly looked back at Jun Qinglan, with shock and sadness in his eyes, that kind of look made Jun Qinglan only feel frightened, he didn't know that Empress Zhang was dead? It was grief, but it was also anger and disappointment. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jun Qinglan would never have known that a person's eyes could be so complicated.
She shook her head solemnly at Zhang Qian. She didn't kill Queen Zhang, no matter when and where, she would not admit what she hadn't done.
Zhang Qian took a breath, closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, there was only resoluteness left in his eyes.
"Father." He looked at Prime Minister Zhang Cheng: "Jun Qinglan has no reason to kill the queen's mother, and he is not such an unwise person, there must be something strange hidden in this matter." Even if this matter is really related to her, it should be handed over to Dali Temple for review and investigation before making a conclusion, and it is unreasonable to kill her here today. ”
"You know what?" Prime Minister Zhang frowned, and did not hide the anger around him: "You go away for me immediately." Jun Qinglan must die today! ”
Zhang Qian pursed his lips: "When I came, my son once said to Jun Qinglan that if I took him over, I would naturally protect him and send him back safely." Our Zhang family is a scholarly family, and my father taught me since I was a child that a gentleman should keep his promises. Forgive my son for not obeying his fate! If his father insists on embarrassing Jun Qinglan, then ....... ”
"So, what do you want?"
Zhang Qian took a deep breath, but his eyes were clear and resolute: "Then ask the father to kill his son together." ”
"You!" Prime Minister Zhang Cheng seemed to be angry by Zhang Qian's words, his face turned red, so he didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and his outstretched fingers trembled and couldn't help himself.
Jun Qinglan looked at Zhang Qian silently, although there were dangers everywhere around her, she had to admire Zhang Qian. The so-called sage gentleman, she thought it was just an image in the book, but now when she saw Zhang Qian, she realized that there is really a proud gentleman husband today.
Zhang Qian is definitely worthy of respect!
"Zhang Xiang doesn't have to worry, I am in charge of today's affairs."
The man's melodious voice slowly came from outside the courtyard, and the next moment he heard the eunuch's feminine voice shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Jun Qinglan's heart trembled, and she actually ...... Is the emperor here? Isn't it too lively today?
Everyone knelt down and saluted, and in the corner where they couldn't see, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Jun Qinglan hung her head, and saw the deerskin soap boots walking past her with neat steps, and the sea cloud patterns under the flying fish suit were like stormy waves, enveloping her in it. Not only is the emperor coming, but even the Jinyi guard is also dispatched?
"Zhang Qian." Emperor Beixia didn't ask anyone to get up, stood under the umbrella cover, and stared condescendingly at the people of Northern Xia in the courtyard: "If it is my intention to kill Jun Qinglan, what should you do?" ”
Zhang Qian looked up in astonishment: "Minister...... Minister....... ”
What could he do? Disobedience to the monarch's heart is a capital crime, and it is likely to affect the entire clan, so he naturally does not want to affect his parents. But the faith engraved into the bone marrow for several years made him unable to give up Jun Qinglan no matter what. At this moment, Zhang Qian is like a fish roasted on the fire, full of anxiety inside and out.
"Liu Quanzhong, you go and help Zhang Qian up with your own hands, and send him to Zhang Xiang."
Liu Quanzhong agreed, walked slowly to Zhang Qian, and reached out to grab his arm.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Qian twisted his body and broke free from his restraints. put his entire forehead on the ground: "Jun Qinglan is the pillar of the country, keeping her life will definitely benefit the people, please investigate the case of the queen mother!" ”
"Shaft, you don't have to know what to do!" Prime Minister Zhang felt that the anger around his body was ignited by this disobedient son, and he couldn't wait to go up and kick him hard.
"Oh, you are benevolent." Emperor Beixia smiled lightly, and his eyes skipped Zhang Qian and looked at Jun Qinglan: "Then, Jun Qinglan, are you willing to watch Zhang Qian die for you?" ”
Jun Qinglan sighed secretly in her heart: "Lord Zhang, you are a gentleman, today's matter has nothing to do with you, you have kept your promise, don't worry about the other things, let's go." ”
"That's not going to work." Zhang Qian frowned and said, "I will definitely send you back in person!" ”
"Jun Qinglan." Emperor Beixia still ignored Zhang Qian, and said slowly: "Empress Zhang is virtuous and dignified, and she has won my heart after many years in the palace. Today, I was only ordered to go back to my hometown for one day, and I was brutally killed by you like this. Since then, I have lost my beloved wife, Northern Xia has no national mother, and Zhang Chengxiang has no daughter. Jun Qinglan, you say, how do you want me to forgive you? ”
Jun Qinglan bit her lip tightly and did not speak. The words of the Northern Xia Emperor completely pushed her into the ice cave, and it turned out to be ...... The most powerful move in today's game is not Prime Minister Zhang, but the emperor! The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion killed the officials of the imperial court, and this kind of thing is very likely to cause accidents. However, with the emperor coming forward, everything is different.
I have long seen that the five people besieging Rong Han are not ordinary, it turns out that they are the secret guards around the emperor. In the end, Emperor Beixia was worried about Empress Zhang's murder, and for the sake of royal face, he had to kill her to feel at ease.
Jun Qinglan bowed her head and kowtowed: "If the emperor insists on this, the ministers ...... Speechless! ”
Of course, she has nothing to say, and no amount of words can defeat the imperial power after all.
"Good." Emperor Beixia nodded slightly, as if he was very appreciative of Jun Qinglan's knowledge: "Jun Qinglan, the evidence of killing the queen is conclusive, and the law is corrected on the spot." Nian said that he had contributed to the court, and he would like to reward the whole corpse. ”
Jun Qinglan knelt on the ground with her head bowed, but a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on her lips, every time!
My father and brother have worked hard for Northern Xia all their lives, but they were beheaded all over the house because of a wrong year on the family tree, and the great credit is not worth the emperor's heart to kill you after all. In order to smoothly enter the political core of Northern Xia, she conscientiously handled the case and how many innocent lives were saved? In the end, it was also because of the investigation of the case, and when he knew something ugly that he shouldn't know, he had to bury him with his life.
For the first time, she felt cold. It doesn't matter about the weather, I just feel that it was cold to my bones at that moment, as if there is no half of warmth in this world. She is not afraid of death, but it is really embarrassing to die like this. I guess that's how my father and brother felt when they died.
Is it worth it?
Zhang Qian's stubbornness couldn't withstand the imperial power and force after all, and with just a knife, he ordered someone to cut him down and carry him away. Rong Han was also pressed to her side, looking at the blood-stained flower clothes around the person, Jun Qinglan finally laughed.
"Ronghan, I'm sorry. I want you to die like this with me. ”
"Huh." Rong Han didn't respond, only a low chuckle. This laugh was sharper than any words, and the agitated Northern Xia Emperor squinted fiercely.
"Do it!" He swung his large raised palm down with all his might.
Prime Minister Zhang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and he slowly closed his eyes. The matter is finally over, and no one will remember the Zhang family's unbearable generals. True...... Good.
A good word only turned in my heart, and there were a few muffled pops in my ears. When the sound of Chang Dang Chang Qing Yue came one after another, it seemed that there was a metal falling to the ground and clanging. The next moment, I heard a melodious and indifferent man's voice coming slowly from the roof.
"If the emperor wants to kill people, he should first sharpen his sword. Such a soft tofu is really useless. ”
The next moment, I saw several men in black descending from the sky. The scimitars hovering in mid-air seemed to have eyes, and obediently returned to their hands. Li Congyao's body was also sandwiched between these people, and the gods leaped down from the roof.
"If the emperor wants to kill the minister, should he also give the minister an explanation?"
"Li Congyao!" Emperor Beixia gritted his teeth, and for a moment, the hatred in his eyes almost couldn't be held back. But in the blink of an eye, he changed to a gentle smile: "King Duan, what crime should you be guilty of leading troops with blades without being called?" ”
"I'm afraid the emperor has misunderstood." Li Congyao said lightly: "The minister has no heart for the emperor. It's just that I heard that the prime minister held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Jun Qinglan, and it happened that the emperor was also there, so I felt that the opportunity was rare and wanted to give the emperor a big gift. ”
"What courtesy?" Emperor Beixia frowned, I can believe that you are out of the ghost!
"Has the emperor seen these guards brought by the minister? Who do you think is better than your guards? ”
Emperor Beixia pursed his lips and did not answer. The answer to this question is obvious, in front of Li Congyao's guards, the secret guards in the palace are simply vulnerable. When the enemy appeared, no one knows. It wasn't until the weapon was cut off that the enemy was aware of the situation. If you really start to do it, you don't need to think about who suffers at all.
Jun Qinglan's heart trembled. In order to keep Duanwang's Mansion, Li Congyao has been dormant for so many years. Today to save her...... but leaked his hole cards. How good is that?
"Your Majesty." Li Congyao smiled and nodded to the secret guard brought by him: "This is the great gift that the minister gave you today!" ”
