The blood monk slowly looked back, only to see a black-clothed young man standing proudly with a sword, with a smile on his eyebrows, but there was undisguised contempt in his eyes.

It turned out to be Yan Heng.

"Only a small benefactor?" The Blood Monk asked in surprise.

"One person is enough!" Yan Heng said with a smile.

The blood monk shook his head lightly and said, "It seems that all he cares about is the life and death of the emperor alone!" ”

"You're wrong...... Yan Heng chuckled, and a smiling face couldn't help but appear in his mind, smiling brightly, but his heart suddenly became complicated, and he said softly: "There is another person!" ”

"Oh? Who? The Blood Monk couldn't help but be a little curious.

In his memory, that man had never smiled, and even after winning the sword test that year, his face was still as cold as ice.

In the eyes of the blood monk, a person who can't laugh must be cold in his heart, and he doesn't know how to care about other people.

Except, of course, for the emperor.

After hearing this, Yan Heng raised the iron sword in his hand and said coldly: "You are not qualified to know!" ”

At this time, Qingchen Dao Chief, who had never spoken, couldn't help but smile at the blood monk: "You have too many words, more than before!" ”

The blood monk shook his head, and suddenly felt bored, "The poor monk is leaving!" ”

"Where are you going?" Qingchen asked.

"Go see an old man!"

As soon as the words fell, the blood monk only flashed, and he disappeared in place.

At the same time, the sound of shouting and killing in the Xuandu Temple suddenly sounded, and the Qingchen Dao Elder looked back, and then smiled at Yan Heng: "Young man, after all, I still can't hold my breath, I'm too anxious!" ”

......

Lishan, Huaqing Palace.

Huaqing Palace is a hot spring at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were built as a soup pool, the Taizong Wen Emperor of this Dynasty expanded the repair hall in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, gave the name "Tangquan Palace", Xuanzong Emperor Tianbao changed its name to "Huaqing Palace" in six years, although it is not as magnificent and majestic as the Daming Palace, but it is also the painting pavilion, the palace is magnificent, during which the pines and cypresses are verdant and green, and the mist is charming.

And at this time, under the snow, the silver makeup is wrapped, and it is even more enchanting, just like the cloud in the poem:

The snow in the suburbs is dark and cloudy, but the palace is falling and drying.

The green trees and green eaves are hidden against each other, and no one knows that it is cold outside.

But since the Anshi Mutiny, perhaps that period of time was too tragic, and the sons of heaven in the past dynasties rarely traveled here.

The death of the Tang Dynasty left behind not only an unforgettable paragraph, but also an indescribable statement.

Inside the Kowloon Palace. Li Chen's face looked much better, at least with some blood and a little more smile.

Bai Minzhong knelt in front of the hall, his face looking a little excited.

His excitement lies in Qiu Shiliang's subdued law, but also in the Son of Heaven's discernment and steadiness.

Standing on one side was Ma Yuanzhen, compared to Bai Minzhong's excitement, Ma Yuanzhen's face was more calm.

"This time I made Aiqing suffer! Qingzhi's loyalty is clear in my heart, and after returning to the court, I will have a heavy reward! Li Chen couldn't help laughing, his joy was beyond words.

Bai Minzhong bowed his head and said: "The minister just did his duty, but he didn't dare to ask for merit and reward, but Lieutenant Ma, this time he saved the driver and worked hard, and he saw through the enemy's good heart in one fell swoop, and he should be rewarded!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen immediately smiled and said: "Bai Xiang's words are serious, just now you said that you did your duty, loyalty to Your Majesty is naturally our family's duty, and I don't dare to ask for merit and reward!" ”

Li Chen laughed loudly: "The two Aiqing are both my humerus shares, the example of the courtiers, if I don't add a reward at this time, wouldn't I want to make the world's scholars cold, who is willing to come to solve my worries in the future." The two Aiqing don't have to shirk this matter! ”

Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly thanked each other, and then Bai Minzhong said, "I don't know how Your Majesty is going to deal with Qiu Shiliang?" ”

"What about Qing's opinion?" Li Chen asked rhetorically.

Bai Minzhong thought for a while and said: "Qiu Shiliang is deeply rooted in the court, if he is not fully prepared this time, he will definitely not dare to do this great rebellion, since Qiu Shiliang has been sentenced to death, it is better to take the opportunity to wipe out his henchmen according to the minister's opinion, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

Li Chen was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked Ma Yuanzhen, "What does Lieutenant Ma think?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen hurriedly said: "It's okay for Your Majesty to let the old slave lead the troops to fight, but for the affairs of the court, the old slave really can't say anything, and it is up to His Majesty to call the shots!" ”

Li Chen smiled, didn't ask, and said to Bai Minzhong: "Bai Aiqing really thinks it should be like this?" ”

"If Your Majesty can trust the minister, the minister will never give up!"

Li Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Bai Aiqing must have been a little frightened, let's rest for the time being, and the big reading will be changed to three days later!" ”

"Three days later? This ......" Bai Minzhong looked at Li Chen in surprise, but saw Li Chen waving his hand with a smile.

Seeing this, Bai Minzhong had no choice but to retire.

After he left, Li Chen looked at Ma Yuanzhen and said, "Lieutenant Ma might as well speak up!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Your Majesty Shengming, although what Fang Xiang said is not unreasonable, it is a little negligent!" ”

"Oh?" Li Chen smiled and said, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" What should not be done? ”

Ma Yuanzhen immediately bowed down and said: "As far as the old slave knows, Qiu Shiliang intends to meet the king of Qi, and the king of Qi is in the Xuandu Temple at this time, and even has laid down five hundred dead soldiers to do things that are not subordinate, as for the ministers in the court, although many of them are attached to Qiu Shiliang, but they know very little about what Qiu Shiliang did, if they are implicated in it, it may cause turmoil in the court, and in the end it will hurt the root of my Tang Dynasty!" According to the old slave's opinion, it is enough to punish only the first offender, and those courtiers who are attached to Qiu Shiliang must be grateful for His Majesty's benevolence, so they dare not have two hearts! ”

Li Chen nodded and said, "I already know about King Qi's affairs, and I have sent Yan Heng to lead bad people to arrest him, and now it's almost the same!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen's face froze slightly when he heard this, and then he said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already made arrangements, but the old slave is too worried!" ”

"Hahaha!" Li Chen couldn't help laughing loudly, "I'm not my nephew of Emperor Wenzong, who is loyal and traitorous in this Manchu Dynasty, I have a mirror in my heart, in addition, the 30,000 elite cavalry of Huang Jiasi and Cui Heng's 30,000 Fengxiang army will be here in three days, and Cui Heng and your Shence army will participate in the parade together!" ”

"Arriving in three days?" Ma Yuanzhen was taken aback.

"Yes, the reason why I want to delay for three days is for this reason, I want to let the world see my army, and let those who have ill intentions see that I am not Wenzong, and I am not something they can push if they want to!"

Ma Yuanzhen's face changed when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure, and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Li Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "You must give me a good look at Qiu Shiliang, don't let him die, I also want him to see how ridiculous he is wrong!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen bowed again, still with a smile on his face, but there was a little more strangeness in his eyes.

......

The Queen Mother Temple on the north side of the palace.

It was originally a place to worship the Queen Mother of the West, but now it has become a place of imprisonment for Qiu Shiliang.

Now Qiu Shiliang is in prison, and he seems to have become one of the few people alive.

At this time, he is no longer a lieutenant in the right army, and he is no longer the generation of eunuchs who call for wind and rain in the court, and his face is covered by his scattered white hair, like a ghost.

There was a young man standing beside his prisoner's car, and there was not the slightest hint of triumphant pleasure on his face, but rather a cloud of melancholy.

He had been standing here for a long time, not saying a word, just staring at Qiu Shiliang in the prisoner car motionlessly.

It seemed that he had been stared at for too long, Qiu Shiliang trembled and spread away, glanced at Li Zhen, and babbled something in his mouth, but at this time he was already speechless and speechless.

"I know what you're going to say!" Li Zhen finally spoke.
