Chapter 377: Prosperity and Decline
In the early morning of the next day, the east gate of Qizhou, the east gate of the city where people come and go on weekdays, has already been cleaned up by the soldiers guarding the city at this moment, and nearly 100 Qizhou soldiers are lined up in two rows of the city gate, standing with guns, looking mighty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than a dozen high-ranking Qizhou officials who were guarded in the center by Qizhou soldiers looked at the young man in Xuanyi riding a tall horse in front of him and said as if sending a plague god: "Your Highness, go slowly!" ”
Looking at the group of Qizhou officials in front of him, who were not smiling, they were disdainful, but they had a picky smile on their faces and said loudly: "Your hospitality is remembered by this king, and if you come to Beijing as a guest in the future, this king will definitely treat you warmly!" ”
Although he knew that the young man in front of him said this was just a superficial politeness, not a heartfelt statement, but everyone was still satisfied, after all, no matter what, everyone had achieved their goal, and climbed the big tree of His Royal Highness King Shou on the surface, as the saying goes, "there are people in the court who are good officials", and now with His Royal Highness King Shou, who has a lot of right to speak in Chang'an, Beijing, as a backer, everyone can already imagine that everyone's career will definitely be smooth sailing in the future.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the young man in Xuanyi in front of them and felt a little more grateful from the bottom of their hearts!
After being polite, he was about to wave his hand and order his soldiers to set off, but Li Qing found that the Qizhou Assassin History that should have appeared did not appear at this moment, and the corner of his mouth smiled, although he knew the reason, Li Qing still opened his mouth and pretended to be puzzled and looked at the group of Qizhou civil and military officials in front of him and asked: "Strange, why don't you see the Qizhou Assassin Shi coming today?" ”
After Li Qing finished speaking, the faces of the Qizhou civil and military officials in front of him suddenly changed, and they glanced at each other, and finally a middle-aged man with a medium stature and a white beard walked out of the crowd, arched his hand to the young man in Xuanyi who was sitting on the horse, and explained: "Lord Thorn Shi occasionally felt cold yesterday and felt unwell, considering that if His Royal Highness's noble status appeared here rashly, it would inevitably be transmitted to His Highness, so I thought about it again and again, and did not come, and asked Yunxi to forgive my sins!" ”
Hearing this, Li Qing said with a worried face and half emotion: "Qizhou Thorn Shi has always been a person who knows the etiquette of advancing and retreating, and this king said that he must have his own reason for not coming today, it turned out to be an occasional cold, since this is the case, you will greet your family on behalf of this king, and tell him, take care of your body!" ”
Turning his gaze back to the group of civil and military officials in front of him, he clenched his fists and said: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, this king is leaving, you are entangled in political affairs, there is no need to send each other!" ”
After that, he reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, rode the horse and whipped his horse, looked at the three hundred guards around him who were ready to go, and spat out lightly at the corner of his mouth, "Go!" ”
Under an order, suddenly a hundred horses galloped, at this moment from Chang'an is not far away, with the speed of everyone, fast horses, a day and a half can reach Chang'an, sitting on the carriage for many days, feeling depressed Li Qing is now finally liberated, naturally to ride a horse galloping, breathe the fresh air of Gyeonggi Province!
Seeing that a heavily armed elite division in front of him finally left, the Qizhou civil and military officials present were all relieved, although they sacrificed a lot of silver taels, but finally sent away this plague god, everything was still worth it.
After all, the silver is gone, and everyone can continue to loot, but if His Royal Highness King Shou stays in Qizhou for a few days, with his cautious character and the fact that the city is like a deep sea, it will be really too late, and combined with the two times His Royal Highness King Shou passed through Qizhou, there is no good thing each time.
On the one hand, they are eager to climb the Shouwang, a big tree that is of great benefit to their careers, and on the other hand, in the face of the deep city of His Royal Highness Shouwang, they always feel that this Shouwang Palace is not a person who is not all the way with them, and they dare not reveal their secrets to His Royal Highness Shouwang, although in the face of their bribes, His Royal Highness Shouwang did not refuse with correct words!
****************
Looking at the road he had traveled half a year ago, Li Qing was full of emotion, half a year ago, he was ordered by his father to take over as the envoy of Jiannan Daojie and govern Jiannan, but who is a dignitary with a little insight in Jingshi who does not know the name of the experience, it is really exile?
A dilapidated carriage, carrying less than half a tael of silver, these are all the belongings of Li Qing, the first-class prince of the Tang Dynasty; There is not a single servant around, only Princess Shou and Xuan'er, who do not have the dignity that a first-class prince of the Tang Dynasty should have, and they are so depressed that even a small city gate general dares to act and provoke himself.
At this moment, Li Qing is full of emotion every time he recalls these bitter and bitter pasts? Who would have thought that the elegant and elegant prince who won the favor of Chang'an would have such a down-and-out scene?
The former prince candidate, not the prince, but the status is half a point higher than the crown prince of the current dynasty, at least one-third of the important ministers of the court have taken refuge in the courtyard of the Shouwang Mansion, always boasting of themselves as the party of the Shou Wang, and the queen mother is the lord of the harem.
But God always seems to like to joke with other people's fate, first of all, Concubine Wu Hui, who favored the harem, died mysteriously, and His Royal Highness King Shou's biggest backer collapsed overnight.
But Concubine Wu Hui's death seems to be just the beginning, and then the relationship between His Majesty and King Shou is gradually tense because of the existence of Concubine Taizhen, and the relationship between father and son is getting worse and worse, so that even ordinary peddlers and pawns have gradually known that His Majesty today seems to be gradually alienating this prince who has a similar atmosphere to himself in terms of appearance and charm.
Immediately after His Majesty shot again, directly announced that the three princes Zhongwang Li Heng took over the throne of the crown prince, and became the prince of the Tang Empire under one person, such an appointment undoubtedly became the last straw for the destruction of the Shouwang party, overnight, the Shouwang party, fell apart, and a group of important ministers who had firmly supported Shouwang should either vote to the prince's court, or return to their hometowns, and the remaining people were either degraded or died mysteriously, in just a few months, Except for Prime Minister Li Linfu, who won the emperor's favor and was very good at behaving, he was not affected, and all the remaining officials of the Shouwang Party had disappeared from everyone's sight in just a few months.
