It was in this situation that Qin Lei came to the south gate of the capital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing the familiar Zhongdu city wall, still so tall and majestic, solemn and solemn, Qin Lei couldn't help but sigh: "This is the city wall, what kind of thing is that in Shenjing City?" ”

"Hehe, lord, do we really want to enter from here?" Le Buyi said unhurriedly: "It's better to have more than one thing." "Emperor Zhaowu has been busy fighting political opponents, and he has not yet spared time to clean up the shrimp soldiers and crab generals below. The officers and soldiers guarding the southern city were not replaced, and they were still the ones that Qin Lei secretly coerced Zhao Chenghei and planted them. Therefore, if Qin Lei wants to enter the city from the south gate, it will not be difficult at all, but the holy decree of Emperor Zhaowu is not a bird? It's not a big deal if it's not a bird, but it's not good after all......

At this moment when everyone is pretending to be a grandson, there is really no need to be so high-profile as soon as you come back.

Qin Lei turned his horse's head and made a detour to the Nanyang Gate in Xicheng. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate had already seen the roaring flag of the black tiger hunting and displaying, and hurriedly reported to the father-in-law who was drinking tea in the city gate tower.

"Close the city gate quickly...... the father-in-law suddenly jumped up from the kang like a cat with his tail stepped on, and danced the dust in his hand, obviously shocked.

The soldiers guarding the door did so immediately, without a single hesitation...... In the autumn of last year, Qin Lei slipped in through this Nanyang Gate and burned down the Taiwei family's house in the middle of the night. The angry old lady naturally couldn't spare them, and with a stroke of his pen, regardless of whether he was on duty that night or not, he was all sent to the north to herd horses. Now guarding the West City Gate, they are all his cronies and generals, so naturally they will not consider Qin Lei's feelings.

By the time Qin Lei arrived at the city, the gate had been tightly closed, and many people who had not had time to enter the city were also blocked out. The Qin people were short-tempered, and they belonged to the kind of people who were unreasonable, so many people scolded them at the door.

But as soon as his team arrived, the crowd fell silent. There are not many people in Daqin who don't know the Black Tiger Banner, and even fewer who don't admire this young prince. "Lord Chitose ......" I don't know who led the way, and the people knelt down to say goodbye, saying 'Chitose' more than that.

Qin Lei nodded to everyone, stretched out his hand to build a pergola, and looked at the city gate. I saw a trembling old eunuch appear at the head of the city with the support of a small eunuch.

"Your Majesty has a decree, the king of Longwei County has come back from afar, which is gratifying, but the general military exercise is imminent, and the combat strength of his department is worrying and needs to be honed urgently. He immediately returned to the Jingshan camp to train the soldiers and make great efforts to prepare for the military exercise. No edict is allowed to enter the city, and it is given. ”

Most of this edict is nonsense, and there is only one meaning to be expressed: 'You shall not enter the city without an edict'.

Although I have been mentally prepared, it is still quite unpleasant to encounter this kind of thing...... It's not cool to change anyone! We died outside for the sake of Daqin, even if we have no merit, we have hard work. It was easy to escape back with great difficulty, but not only did he not receive it, but he was also directly turned away.

The black-clothed guards suddenly exploded in anger, and their eyes fell on the prince's face. As soon as he nods, the guards are going to shoot the bastards.

Qin Lei just sneered, and said, "Unless all the detained officials are released, Lone will withdraw from the military exercise!" Then he turned his horse's head and walked away.

Seeing that the prince was willing to give up, the black-clothed guard, who wanted to follow the trouble, had no choice but to turn around angrily and leave with the prince.

Looking at the distant figure of Qin Lei and his entourage, the old eunuch couldn't help but weaken his legs, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and muttered, "Why did this master change his sex?" I thought I'd have to peel off my skin if I didn't die this time. ”

For Qin Lei's reaction, not only the old eunuch was surprised, but several people in the central capital were also quite surprised.

The first person to get the news was naturally the Taiwei Mansion closest to Nanyang Gate.

The old lady was wearing only a single coat and was dancing with a big sword on the martial arts field. I saw that his muscles were knotted, shrouded in a cloud of white mist, and the flowers of the hundred and ten catties of iron broadsword were dancing. Since he was humiliated by Qin Lei in public last time, he has redoubled his hard work, almost masochistically tempering his body, hoping to have a chance to take revenge next time.

Mr. Li Qing and Mr. Yin stood patiently on the side, not daring to make a sound...... After saying that after the last time, the old lady, who was originally quite cheerful, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, not only with a gloomy face every day, but also irritable and irritable, and he was about to bury people at every turn.

The entire Taiwei Mansion was shrouded in his powerful obscenity, and even Mr. Yin, who was originally extremely arrogant, is now honest and low-key, and from time to time he also brings Lao Li Tou a cup of tea, pours a piece of water or something...... It can be seen that people are held by light.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has returned home several times in a row.

With a move of 'splitting Huashan', the old lady finally finished a routine, and stood there with a knife and panting.

"Good!" Li Qing and Mr. Yin applauded continuously, and Li Qing handed over the towel without help. Mr. Yin hesitated, and also offered the wine jug resting on the table to the old lady with both hands.

Li Hun took the towel to wipe his sweat expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Is that kid here?" ”

"Came, but left again." Now no one dares to sell anything to this old man.

"No trouble?" Li Hun glared, as if the sun had come out of the west.

Li Qing swallowed and foamed, and said softly: "Maybe I went out to learn to be obedient, and I didn't conflict with the City Gate Division, so I responded honestly." ”

Li Hun took the wine gourd, raised his head and poured it, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and said in disbelief: "What do you think about this kid?" Of course, this is to ask Mr. Yin, Li Qing is at best a thug and errand runner in his life.

Mr. Yin smiled carelessly: "There is a way that the country is easy to change and the nature is ......."

"To put it in layman's terms!" The old lady frowned and said, "Don't you know that I hate others the most?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Mr. Yin hurriedly laughed and said: "As the saying goes, dogs can't change their eating ......" The old lady didn't object at this time, obviously he was right. Mr. Yin continued: "If they all feel that Qin Yutian's actions are abnormal, it must not be that he has changed his sex, but that he has other plans. ”

"Figure what?" The old lady squeezed the wine gourd tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers turned white, which showed how much he hated Qin Lei.

"He must have thought that it was safer and more advantageous to be outside the city than to be inside the city at this time." Mr. Yin said firmly: "In fact, as soon as he comes back, Emperor Zhaowu's arrogance will be dispelled, and compromise is inevitable." ”

"Why? Is there anyone who is afraid of his son? Li Qing finally couldn't help but interject.

Mr. Yin couldn't help but smile and said, "The key is the old empress dowager Wenzhuang." Showing his white teeth, Mr. Yin sneered: "Emperor Zhaowu and Qin Lei, one is her son and the other is her grandson. In her eyes, one represents the present and the other represents the future. As the ancestor of the Qin clan, she has to take care of both the present and the future, and try not to let the two conflict. ”

Li Hun didn't care about his rap this time, but asked in a deep voice: "If the two conflict, which one will she help?" ”

"Watching from the sidelines, not helping each other, and letting the fittest survive. Only the strongest can become the first person in the royal family. She only secretly controlled the scale of the duel between the two sides on one side, so as not to cause too much damage to the royal family," Mr. Yin said leisurely: "How fortunate is it that the Qin clan has such an old ancestor to suppress the formation?" ”

After a pause, Mr. Yin said again: "So when Qin Lei went south irretrievably, she was unsurprisingly silent. Because at that time, Emperor Zhaowu looked more like a victor. But now the situation is different, Qin Lei is back, Emperor Zhaowu has no certainty of victory, and if the two sides continue to fight, they can only die and the royal family will suffer......" said, clutching the pale and thin palm, and said confidently: "And this is unacceptable to the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, so she will definitely stop it!" ”

After listening to Mr. Yin's words, Taiwei Li pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Could it be that the old woman in Wenzhuang has been working against the emperor recently?" ”

"No way!" Mr. Yin spread out his withered branches like palms, shook his head and said: "The proprietor must know that the emperor needs hundreds of officials to manage the world for him, and hundreds of officials need imperial power to support themselves, and the two are born a pair and co-prosperity and symbiosis. It's too late for the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang to try her best to match, so how can she secretly incite the two to oppose each other? ”

Hearing that he was reasonable, the chrysanthemums on Li Hun's brows became heavier and heavier, he poured down the wine in a big gulp, and asked in a rough voice, "Who could it be?" ”

"The students guessed that it was a group." Mr. Yin carefully said: "Or a group of people with common interests, it will never be the power of one person anyway." ”

"Who's in the lead? Even if it's a group of people, there should be a leader, right? The wolf's eyebrows were raised, Li Hun blew his beard and glared: "Find him out, I want to see him." ”

"The students are ashamed, there is really no way to know," Mr. Yin said with a wry smile: "It looks like everyone, and no one looks like ......."

"Check again! Be sure to find this person before anyone else! The big knife slammed into the ground, and Li Hun gritted his teeth.

Li Qing and the two hurriedly responded.

Later, in the Imperial Study.

The eunuch who announced the decree at the head of the city also explained the situation to Emperor Zhaowu one by one.

"Oh, this kid didn't toss?" Emperor Zhaowu withdrew his gaze from the music and raised his head. I haven't seen him for half a year, but he is even more energetic, and even his voice is much higher. It seems that the taste of holding authority is indeed very good, and it can make the emperor's old son die in spring. Reaching out and gently brushing his slender eyebrows, Emperor Zhaowu said in a deep voice, "Did he say anything?" ”

He said......" The old eunuch glanced at the emperor and said softly: "If you don't release the officials, you won't participate in the military exercise." ”

"Bastard!" Emperor Zhaowu slammed the table, his eyes shining coldly, "Does he dare to resist the decree?" "In the first military exercise in the autumn, the Jingshan New Army has fully proved their strength, whether it is a single soldier or a battle formation, the march will be dead and rushing, the order is forbidden or immediately adapted, and the quality of all aspects is no less than the other four armies, so Emperor Zhaowu is very sure of the military exercise in the spring of next year.

But now, that rebel dared to blackmail Lao Tzu and said that he would withdraw from the military exercise...... This is really unbearable!

Emperor Zhaowu was immediately furious, and wrote a holy decree in his own hand: 'Have you eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard?' As soon as you come back, you act so recklessly, why don't you die outside? This may be the most special decree in Emperor Zhaowu's life, but he continues to write: 'I will give you one last chance, give me a chance to enter the capital to ask for my guilt, otherwise you will go as far as you want!' You don't want to do it, some people do! After writing, he threw the cinnabar pen on the ground and said coldly: "Go to Jiaxi's decree." ”

The bitter eunuch wailed in his heart: "I thought I had escaped by relying on the high wall, but who would have thought that I would go deep into the tiger's den, it seems that you will not give up if you don't play with me......"

After the eunuch left, Emperor Zhaowu's mood also calmed down, and he glanced at the old eunuch Zhuo who was standing with his head down and said: "This rebel son doesn't mention anything else, but only asks for the release of those officials, does this mean...... Is he in league with that mysterious person? ”

Zhuo Yan said softly: "The old slave doesn't know ......"

"Hey!" Sighing irritably, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and said depressedly: "I don't know what happened to Lou Wanli, it's been half a month, why haven't you asked anything?" ”

Zhuo Yan also said distressedly: "Those officials are very tight-mouthed, even if they can't survive the punishment, they are still talking nonsense. What Taiwei Li, the Fifth Highness, the Crown Prince, several scholars, and even the Third Highness. Anyway, the court is noble, let them say it all over again...... It's the same as nothing. He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the adults are delicate, and this is not a big deal, so I killed three of them first, and if I go down again, I will have a vengeance...... Look, is there a moratorium on the use of sentences? ”

Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a long time, his long narrow eyes were dim, and finally he sighed and said, "Okay...... Tell Lou Wanli not to punish again, and treat the injured again. After speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly and muttered, "I must find that person......"

"You'll never find this guy!" On the way back to Jingshan City, Qin Lei also talked to Le Buyi about the mysterious 'man behind the scenes', only to hear Le Buyi smile confidently: "Because there is no such person at all." ”

Qin Lei couldn't help laughing: "Could it be a ghost?" ”

"Of course it's not a ghost," Le Buyi glanced at the gloomy sky, saw the dark clouds in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It is a huge group, including all officials, whether it is the prime minister or the scholar, the scholar, the squire, or the langzhong, the outsider, the director, and even all the imperial historians, they are all natural members of this group. ”

Hearing this sensational conclusion, Rao is Qin Lei was determined, and he couldn't help but sweat in his palms, and his breath was cloudy: "Who has such a great ability to unite these people?" He just wants to be the emperor, it's easy! ”

Seeing Qin Lei's nervous appearance, Le Buyi chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I have been paying attention to this phenomenon for a long time, and finally found that no one can control this group, and it is impossible to breed usurpers in this group, so I am relieved." He smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You might as well listen to it and start from the beginning." ”

"I want to hear about it." Qin Lei said solemnly.

"The Book of Poetry says, 'The whole world is not the king's land'. It means that from the beginning of the Xia Shang Zhou, the Son of Heaven has the leadership of the world. But the territory of Shenzhou is too big, and the Son of Heaven is three heads and six arms, and it is impossible to manage it. Therefore, there is the next sentence 'The shore of the land is not the king', the Son of Heaven wants to divide part of his authority and let the kings and ministers help him govern the world. After speaking, Le Buyi also glanced at Qin Lei deliberately, meaning, do you want to translate.

Qin Lei nodded, indicating that he could understand.

Le Buyi continued: "But how much is appropriate? I can't grasp this degree, and no one can say it. ”

"How do you decide?" Qin Lei asked softly.

"Tug-of-war," Le Buyi said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven stands on one side, and the prince stands on the other, whoever can pull the rope a little more will have more power, and vice versa." ”
