The civil and military officials and twenty candidates knelt down together and said in unison: "Your Majesty's wish is our wish, we are willing to establish our hearts for heaven and earth, establish our lives for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

"Okay, I wish my people of Great Qin, everyone is like a dragon, do you still have something to do?" said Emperor Tianqing.

"The ministers have nothing to do. The civil and military officials said in unison.

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "Let's all step aside, this department stays." ”

The civil and military officials and the rest of the candidates responded yes, and then withdrew from the Taiji Hall in an orderly manner. In the entire Taiji Palace, only Zixi and Emperor Tianqing remained.

Emperor Tianqing looked at Zixi and didn't speak, and after a long time, Emperor Tianqing spoke: "This is what you said about whether this Great Qin is my world, and there should be no place for the entire Great Qin to deceive me." ”

After hearing this, the department was shocked, but his face did not change and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." This Great Qin belongs to His Majesty, so naturally there can be no place to deceive His Majesty. ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at Zixi and said, "Oh, is it? What if someone deceives me?"

"The crime of deceiving the king should be decided. Zixi said.

Hearing Zixi's words, Emperor Tianqing didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said, "Then do you have a place to deceive me?"

When Zi Xi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." There is no place for the minister to deceive His Majesty. I also hope that Your Majesty will be clear. ”

After Zixi finished speaking, Emperor Tianqing smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: No, it seems that this emperor is really not so good. Whatever you want. See when you can tell me the truth.

Emperor Tianqing stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the nine steps, helped Zixi who was kneeling and said, "This Aiqing, I believe in you. Come, get up. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zixi said respectfully.

Emperor Tianqing patted Zixi on the shoulder and said, "I am optimistic about you, I am leaving you alone in the palace today, because I have something to explain to you." ”

"Your Majesty has commanded, and the ministers will not hesitate to go to the soup. Zixi said.

Emperor Tianqing said with a smile: "It's not that serious, now that the border is stable, the external troubles are temporarily removed, and I need time to deal with the internal troubles." This Aiqing is from the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard of the Thousand Souls Palace?"

When Emperor Tianqing said the three words of Thousand Soul Palace, Zi Xi's eyes flashed with a thick killing intent. Although it is fleeting, it is a good cover for the past. But Emperor Tianqing really saw the killing intent in his eyes.

I only heard Zixi say: "Chen has just been born from the deep mountains, and he has never heard of the Thousand Souls Palace. ”

"Since Aiqing has never heard of it, then I will briefly talk about it. This Thousand Souls Hall has a long time of origination, and the martial arts masters in the hall are like clouds, and the background is extremely profound. Three hundred years ago, behind the mainland's melee Great Qin, it was with the support of the Thousand Souls Hall that it was able to divide the world with Great Zhou and Great Xia. Today's Thousand Souls Hall is ambitious, and it wants to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty and replace it with the Thousand Souls Palace. After Emperor Tianqing finished speaking, he paused and continued: "So I have to hurry up and solve the Thousand Souls Palace. ”

"The minister understands, but what should the minister do. The department said.

Emperor Tianqing said: "I plan to leave the palace and enter the rivers and lakes. This Aiqing's martial arts cultivation is very high, and I need this Aiqing to protect me. Forehead...... Even if... Even if it's a bodyguard. ”

"Your Majesty obeys the order, Your Majesty has something I want to ask Your Majesty. The department said.

Emperor Tianqing said with some doubts: "This Aiqing is okay to talk about. ”

"The minister went out of the palace with His Majesty this time, and asked His Majesty to allow the minister to bring one person. The department said.

When Emperor Tianqing heard Zixi's words, he asked in wonder, "Who does Aiqing want to take?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister wants to take it with a fierce wind. The department said.

An indescribable look flashed in Emperor Tianqing's eyes and said, "Blazing as the wind, I remember correctly, he was the second place in the martial arts test." What do you have to do with him?"

This department said: "Your Majesty remembers well, and the minister and him can be regarded as master and apprentice." He wanted to learn kendo, and the minister saw that he had good bones and a strong determination to practice kendo, so he wanted to give him some advice. ”

When Emperor Tianqing heard Zixi's words, an inexplicable emotion rose. He secretly said in his heart: The Zi family sword has never been passed on, and now this Zi Xi is going to be passed on to Lie Rufeng? What is the relationship between these two people? Is it really a master and apprentice?

Emperor Tianqing continued: "The roots and bones are good, so how does this Aiqing think of my roots? I also want to learn kendo." Moreover, I heard that now that kendo is in decline, there are very few people who can cultivate kendo. I didn't expect this Aiqing to practice kendo. Then don't you mind teaching me too?"

This department said: "I can't see your majesty's roots clearly, if your majesty is really interested in kendo, you can teach it." ”

"Well, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase. Emperor Tianqing said.

After speaking, Emperor Tianqing shouted to the door, "Come on, Xuan Li dares to meet Lie Rufeng." ”

Not long after, Lie Rufeng and Li Dang came to the Taiji Hall together. After the luggage of two people. Emperor Tianqing said to Li Dang: "Second brother, I am going out of the palace today. In the days when I was away, the affairs of the court and the central government were handed over to the second brother. ”

Zixi and Lie Rufeng were taken aback when they heard Emperor Tianqing's address to Li Kang. What shocked them even more was that the emperor said that when he was away, all the affairs of the court and the central government were handed over to Li Kang. What a trust.

Li Dang frowned and said: "Your Majesty wants to leave the palace? This is not good, how can I decide the affairs of the court alone." ”

"The second brother should not refuse, now that the external troubles at the border are stabilized by the third brother, I must hurry up to solve the internal troubles. In the affairs of the court, you can help the eldest brother take care of it. ”

Li Dang said: "The minister knows, and the minister will recall General Jianqing and ask him to protect His Majesty's safety." ”

Emperor Tianqing waved his hand, pointed at Zixi and Lie Rufeng and said, "Second brother doesn't need it, it's enough to let the two of them go with me." ”

Li Dang looked at Zixi and Lie Rufeng and said, "Your Majesty's trip is too dangerous. The two of them ....."

Before Li Kang finished speaking, Emperor Tianqing interrupted Li Kang's words and said, "Second brother, don't worry, has the second brother forgotten who is by my side?"

Li Dare came back to his strength, yes, there are masters like Qiye by the eldest brother's side. Li Dang said: "It's the minister who is confused. ”

Emperor Tianqing laughed and said, "Second brother, you are not too confused, but you are too concerned about my safety. Second brother, don't worry, I'll be fine. ”

"This department, as strong as the wind, I will give you two an hour to prepare things. Depart an hour later. Emperor Tianqing said.

"Yes. The two replied in unison. So he went down and went to prepare his things.

The two of them walked out of the Taiji Palace, and Emperor Tianqing said to Li Dang: "Second brother has worked hard for you." ”

"Big brother, what to say, it should be. Li Dang said.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Everything is in plain sight, and if you want to express your words, you naturally understand it, and there is nothing better between brothers!
