Chang'an, Taiji Palace.

On the tall and majestic tower of Chengtianmen, a young man is standing with his head held high, he is dressed in a purple embroidered robe, his head is worn into the virtuous crown, two vermilion silk ribbons hang straight on the front placket, and he wears a gilded black iron sword at his waist, the hilt is covered with fish skin, and the high-quality golden silk nanmu scabbard is decorated with wrong gold and silver entwined branches, and it is clear at a glance that this sword is by no means a vulgar thing.

If the sword is not a vulgar thing, then the person who wears the sword must not be a vulgar person.

This person is Yanwang Li Qi.

Li Qi is more than six feet long, slightly thin, and fair-skinned, but his facial features are angular, although he is not handsome, but he also faintly exudes a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.

After Li Qi, there are more than ten civil and military officials, of which the largest official is a general wearing a Ming Guang armor, judging from the pig beast on his shoulder, it is obviously subordinate to Jin Wuwei, and the youngest official is a civil official from the fifth grade, wearing a hedgehog crown, undoubtedly from the Yushitai, and the rest are each four and five civil and military officials.

Chengtianmen is facing Zhuque Street, where you can overlook the entire Chang'an City, Li Qi could not hide the excitement on his face, pointed to a place in the distance and smiled, "Look, there is Pingkangfang!"

Hearing this, everyone behind Li Qi couldn't help but look at each other, being in Chengtianmen, but their eyes were looking at the place where the Qinglou geisha lived, which really made people cry and laugh.

At this time, Li Qi also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "I remember that the last time this king ascended the Chengtian Gate, it was the first day of the sixth year of Huichang, which was the last first day of the reign of His Majesty the First Emperor, and at that time, this King was standing behind the First Emperor, and he had never had such a vision as he did today!"

"Ahem, cough, cough"

The general Jin Wuwei coughed lightly a few times, and then Zhengse said, "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the minister has ordered Jin Wuwei to take over the city defense of the capital and the imperial city, and make every effort to arrest the rebels, and at this time, the mansions of Bai Minzhong, Feng Ao and Pei Xiu have all been confiscated!"

Speaking of this, I saw that he glanced at a royal historian beside him, and the imperial historian saw this and hurriedly took out three handwritten letters from the sleeves of his robe and handed them forward, saying, "Your Royal Highness, these are the three handwritten letters found from the three-person mansion, the three of them formed a party for personal gain, caused chaos in the government, and colluded with Xuandu Guanqingchen Demon Dao and other thieves in the rivers and lakes, the evidence of his murder of the monarch is conclusive, and please ask His Royal Highness Yanwang to decide!"

Li Qi didn't take the letter, and didn't seem to mean to read it, but nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, Lieutenant Qiu will escort the rebellious party back to Beijing and hand it over to the three divisions together with his clan!"

After speaking, Li Qi beckoned to the general, signaling him to come forward and speak.

After he approached, Li Qi asked in his ear, "General Guo Rui, I don't know if the enemy has orders, when will this king ascend the throne?" ”

Guo Rui frowned when he heard this, bowed down and replied, "The sooner the better, the later, I am afraid of a change!"

When Li Qi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the king will ascend the throne today!"

After hearing this, Guo Rui suddenly cried and laughed, the new monarch's accession to the throne is a national event, at least after the civil and military officials return to Beijing from Lishan, the last letter to ask for the emperor's throne, and then the Taichang Temple will draw up an auspicious day and announce it to the world, so that it can be regarded as following the law to ascend the throne.

Even if you don't play any "three invitations and three resignations" drama, but it should also be jointly enshrined by the three dukes and Zaifu "imperial nephew" before the enthronement can be established, although the sooner the better, but those steps that should be there are also indispensable, after all, the ancestral etiquette is here, no one can touch it, and no one can touch it, and it is not allowed to rebel.

What's more, Li Chen's body has not yet been seen, so it should not be so hasty.

Guo Rui's face was a little ugly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said softly, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, everything should be decided after Qiu Gong comes back!"

After hearing this, Li Qi seemed a little disappointed, but this matter was purely unexpected for himself, everything here still depends on Qiu Shiliang's help, thinking of this, Li Qi's heart is also a lot more comfortable, not to mention that now whether it is the capital or Lishan Palace, and even the entire Gyeonggi Province is under the control of the forbidden army, even if someone wants to make a hindrance from it, after all, there is still no wind and waves.

Thinking of the throne that was already within reach, a smile reappeared on Li Qi's face.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing"

Guo Rui bowed down and said, "King Qi hasn't been found yet!"

"Brother Qi Wang?!"

Li Qi turned to stare at Guo Rui, "Aren't you already dead in Xuanduguan?!"

"The minister personally inspected all the corpses in the Xuandu Temple, and did not find King Qi!"

This was one of the reasons why Guo Rui was a little uneasy, because according to the previous plan, after the blood monk arrived at the Lishan Palace and killed the emperor Li Chen, King Qi should be killed by the Qingchen Dao Chief, and then take the opportunity to blame Bai Min and the other party for the chaos.

As for the Qingchen Dao Chief, he is just the most insignificant chess piece in this chess game.

But this doesn't seem to be the case, when Guo Rui arrived at the Xuandu Temple, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

Outside the Xuandu Temple, there are the corpses of five hundred dead soldiers, and these people are all selected by Qiu Shiliang from the army, one is to prevent the change of the length of the dust cleaning road, and the other is to protect the periphery of the Xuandu Temple in case of accidents.

And when Guo Rui counted the corpses, he found that five hundred corpses were a lot.

As for the Xuandu Temple, the scene made Guo Rui even more shocked, not only were there more than 100 corpses of young Taoist priests lying in the temple, but there were also more than 300 corpses of black-clothed swordsmen.

Although Guo Rui didn't recognize them, he recognized the sword with a special mark in their hands.

Kyoto bad people.

In fact, there is another important reason, all the bad people in all provinces, states, and counties in the world use horizontal swords as weapons, and only the bad people in Gyeonggi Province use swords as weapons.

And the reason for this distinction lies only in one person.

Xiao Liang.

As we all know, Xiao Liang is good at swords, so the bad people in Gyeonggi Province also choose to use swords under his personal training.

And the Taoist priests who died were all disguised as soldiers from the military, which means that there were at least 600 soldiers in ambush inside and outside the Xuandu Temple alone, but at this moment, they were all killed.

What kind of means and what kind of combat power is this?!

But when he thought that it was Xiao Liang, Guo Rui was immediately a little relieved, after all, it was possible for that person's subordinates who had personally trained him to have any kind of combat power.

Of course, Guo Rui's idea does not rule out the possibility that Xiao Liang has been gradually deified in the rumors over the years, but at least these bad people in front of him have done it.

Even the well-known Dust Clearing Dao Leader still can't escape the fate of death.

After a brief period of horror, Guo Rui began to examine each corpse one by one, because his target was King Qi, otherwise even if more people died here, it would still be useless.

Finally, what worries Guo Rui the most happened.

The king is gone, no one is alive, and no corpse is dead.
