Since that banquet, Emperor Wen praised Yu Qingze at the court meeting, saying that he was both civil and military, outstanding talent, and a rare talent in the world. Yu Qing didn't know why, but he still kowtowed and thanked him.

At the one-day court meeting in the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen said to the ministers of civil and military affairs: "I have received a report from the border ministers of Lingnan today, there is a thief Li Shixian in Guizhou who harasses the place, I am very worried, I don't know which general can share my worries!" As soon as the words were finished, generals Han Baohu, Shi Wansui and other generals came out and said:

"Ministers are willing to go." Emperor Wen did not allow it. Looking up at Yu Qingze.

"Aiqing, as the prime minister and the general of the country, admires Wen Tao's martial arts strategy, and I hope Aiqing can share my worries."

"Your Majesty's wishes, and the ministers will do their best." Yu Qing thanked him, but a worry surged in his heart for unknown reasons. Back in the house, Yu Qing found his brother-in-law Zhao Shizhu.

"Shizhu, the Holy Lord asked me to pacify Lingnan, you will come with me, and I will appoint you as the commander of the army. If you have made great achievements, you can rise even further. What a great opportunity! ”

"Then thank you brother-in-law for cultivating."

In the late Yang Su Mansion, Yang Su was talking to a man, "Yu Qing will definitely report to me if there is any movement, if he falls, you will be developed." ”

"The small future will be entrusted to the adults, it's not too early, the little ones will go back and say goodbye to the adults first." Soon, there was a rumor in Chang'an that Yu Qingze secretly said that Emperor Wen was jealous of his high merits, and he wanted to be sick. Jingzhao Yin Guo Yan played Emperor Wen in secret, and after Emperor Wen saw it, he bowed his head and was silent.

On the day of Yu Qingze's expedition, Emperor Wen and hundreds of civil and military officials went out of the city to see him off, but unlike in the past, Emperor Wen did not have much enthusiasm, and only said lightly to Yu Qingze: "Wait for you to come back and hold a banquet to celebrate." Lots of rewards! ”

Out of the south gate of Chang'an, Yu Qing looked back at Chang'an and sighed in his heart: "How can I have a bad premonition, thinking that I will be able to come back alive in the future?" "The rebellion in Lingnan went very smoothly, Li Shixian was just a local strong in Lingnan, and he was immediately pacified under Yu Qingze's strong offensive, and Yu Qingze led his troops back. Passing by Lingui Town in Tanzhou City, I saw that the military value here was excellent by the mountains and rivers, and I said to my brother-in-law Zhao Shizhu:

"If this place is to gather troops and food, it can help the imperial court to deter the natives here. You help me report to the court, and I'll stay here for now. When the imperial court sends capable personnel here, I will return to Beijing. Zhao Shizhu nodded in agreement. Three days later, in the evening, a man from Yang Sufu came to the house, covering his injured arm.

"I want to see Lord Yang, I want to see Lord Yang." As he spoke, he fainted. The porter of Yang Su's mansion hurriedly helped him in, and Yang Su got the advice of his subordinates and also went to the wing.

"Lord Yang, the lowly post is Yu Qingze's army commander Zhao Shizhu, Yu Qingze intends to raise troops to rebel in Tanzhou, and the lowly post persuades the persecution, but fortunately, some cronies of the lowly post secretly released the lowly post to report the letter. I can meet you! Then he began to cry. Yang Su stopped him with his hand.

"Is what you're saying true? Lord Yu Qingze is the pillar of the country, Lingnan quelled the rebellion, and eliminated Li Xian, a clown who jumped off the beam, for the imperial court. The old man respected his merits very much. Do you know that framing important officials of the court is a big crime, aren't you afraid of death? Yang Su looked at Zhao Shizhu with a smile.

"My lord, I am loyal to the court, if you don't believe it, I am willing to die to prove my innocence." After saying that, he struggled to crash into the pillar. Yang Su made a look, and the subordinates of the Yang Mansion hurriedly stopped him.

"If you don't believe me, let me die! Anyway, falsely accusing the ministers of the court is a capital crime, if Yu Qing is a thief, he knows that I am still alive, and he will kill and kill people, so let me break it now! ”

"Woe! Why did Lord Zhao do this? Good! The old man will enter the palace to face the saint, are you willing to testify? ”

"Humble and loyal to the court, willing to serve the lord." Both of them laughed heartily.

Yu Qing waited for news in the Tanzhou Army. At this time, the pro-soldiers came to report,

"Marshal, Lord Yang Su has arrived outside the barracks. And he also brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and he has surrounded the official residence. ”

"Oh! What's going on. Before he could react, Yang Su had already come to him.

"Yu Dashuai, the emperor has an order, you take it!"

Yu Qing just knelt down, "I got a secret report, Yu Qing gathered troops to rebel, and ordered Yang Su to immediately take his lock into Beijing, and wait for the investigation, Qin this!" ”

"Ahh Lord Yang, I was wronged, I was wronged. I want to see the emperor, I am wronged. Yang Su ignored his arguments and directly put Yu Qingze in the prison car. After Yu Qingze arrived in Beijing, Yang Jian ignored the strong admonitions of some ministers and directly ordered Yu Qingze to be beheaded. On the execution ground, Yang Su and Zhao Shizhu were beheaded together, and a woman cried and shouted Zhao Shizhu's name,

"Ah Zhu, didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Azhu, why? Yu Qing saw this scene and didn't say anything, only lowered his head and wept silently. And Zhao Shizhu was worshiped by Emperor Wen as Shangzhu because of his meritorious report. Although many people feel sorry for Yu Qingze's death, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yu Qingze is not because of rebellion, but because Emperor Wen tabooed Yu Qingze's great merit and borrowed a knife to kill people.

P.S. Originally, Li Shixian's rebellion and Yu Qingze's death were the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, but for the needs of the plot, they were brought forward.
