The entourage did not inquire about who asked the ministers to go to the court, and when they saw that the master was angry, they naturally did not dare to say more.

Qingyang Hou touched his inexplicably cold forehead, and said in a low voice: "Things are not quite right, isn't there something wrong?" ”

"Impossible, this king's plan is seamless, how can there be a loophole at this time? It must be the Queen Mother who deceived us. King Lijun gritted his teeth.

Qingyang Hou smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Impossible, I don't know what kind of character my sister is?" What's more, the king of the county has also seen it. She is timid, and she is an ordinary woman, and she can't make any waves. ”

King Lijun's anxious and angry emotions were forced to be suppressed by him, and he looked back at the charred ruins of the palace, and then at the corpses that had been carried out by his entourage and placed on the carriage.

King Lijun didn't know what was going on, but suddenly he was blessed with a blessing to his heart, and strode to the carriage, and came closer to observe it carefully.

Qingyang Hou twisted his eyebrows and pinched his nose, and also walked over, "What is the king of the county doing here?" What's so nice about a dead man?

King Lijun completely ignored the noisy Qingyang Marquis who took a lamp from his entourage, and carefully examined the face of "Li Qitian" by the faint light of the early morning, and finally found that there was something wrong with the skin in the burned place.

King Lijun's heart thumped, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or dirty, and he reached out and grabbed the corpse's face.

The Marquis of Qingyang was too nervous when he was the king of Lijun, and exclaimed: "What are you doing ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that King Li Jun had already peeled off the face of the corpse, and the broken and thin layer of human skin was still burning with charred ash and bloodstains, which looked particularly terrifying under the light of the orange-red lantern.

But something even more terrifying is yet to come.

Under that face, there was another unfamiliar face.

That's not Li Qitian at all!

King Lijun was stunned and clutched the broken human skin mask in his hand, and his whole body was cold, and the pores on his back exploded.

How can it be fake?

Li Qitian is not dead, so what happened to this fire in the palace?

By the way, the charred corpses in the palace are only barely recognizable as human bones, and it is impossible to tell whether they are men or women at all, so there may not be any female relatives of the palace among them.

There is something strange about the fire in the palace. Li Qitian's body is fake, and the ministers went to court for no reason.

These three points are connected together, and King Lijun understands no matter how stupid he is.

He made people yin!

This time the fire calculated everything, and the other party caught his psychology to the death, and led him out of the palace. At this time, Li Qitian may have taken the palace back!

King Lijun trembled like chaff and almost couldn't stand.

The Marquis of Qingyang is no better than King Lijun.

His mind is now full of Li Qitian's viciousness and majesty.

"What to do, what to do! If the Holy One comes back. Then there will be good fruit for both of us to eat? Your plan will definitely not be able to run, even if I have to finish it together! What the saint cares about most is military power, haven't you seen that Xiao Zhixi has been robbed of military power, but I, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, refuses to listen to Yi's order to support Tianmen Guan, and the saint knows that I can't cure me for the crime of slacking off the war! ”

King Lijun's face was gloomy, and the trembling on his body gradually subsided.

Qingyang Hou said anxiously: "For today's plan, let's go to the palace and beg my sister!" My sister is the Queen Mother, if you say a few more good words in front of the Holy One, we may still be saved! ”

King Lijun suddenly looked at Qingyang Hou and said coldly: "If you want to throw yourself into the net, you go by yourself." ”

"You ......"

"Have you forgotten how you treated the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother didn't have water in her head, and I must have taken revenge when I saw you at this time! And how did you meet the Queen Mother? Since Li Qitian has the ability to announce the dynasty, that is, he has recaptured the palace, as long as the two of us get close, before we see the queen mother, we will be directly arrested and sent to Li Qitian. ”

Qingyang Hou's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt that the sky was about to fall.

How did things turn out like this? Everything was fine, but why did it all come to naught?

"So what do you think we should do?" The Marquis of Qingyang is now in a mess, and he only looks at King Lijun with dependence.

King Lijun gritted his teeth, and immediately said: "If you don't do it, anyway, there are a lot of Tartar spies mixed in, otherwise Li Qitian would not be buried alive, and now who knows if the tip of the Tartar lurking in the palace wall wants to be unfavorable to the Queen Mother and the Empress?" ”

"You mean...... Do you want to attack the palace? Qingyang Hou was shocked for a while, and lowered his voice.

King Lijun said: "Either wait for death, or fight, if you want to die, I won't stop you." I dare to guarantee that as long as you take a step closer to the palace wall, you will be escorted to Li Qitian immediately, and you will not be able to die at that time. ”

Qingyang Hou snorted. His eyes gradually changed from panic to determination.

"Okay, let's give it a go! Don't forget, Ben Hou is still the commander of the Tiger Army! ”

King Lijun saw that the Marquis of Qingyang was so upright, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He then ordered, "There are Tartar spies who have infiltrated the palace, pretending to be saints with bad intentions, and immediately dispatch all the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to come over, we must protect the Queen Mother, the Queen and the unborn Dragon Son!" ”

"Yes!"

King Lijun's die-hard loyalists immediately went to the command and embassy of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to report the news.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of public security and other matters in the capital, and the soldiers of the four guards in the east, west, north and south must add up to at least 10,000 people. In addition, the Marquis of Qingyang dispatched the Tiger Army.

With such an offensive, it may not be impossible to fight with all your might!

%

At this time, in the Fengtian Palace, the military generals of the civil ministers and military generals above the fifth rank in Beijing have already stood in line with Wendong and Wuxi.

Everyone's hearts are actually very uncomfortable.

King Lijun is the queen mother's elected clan relatives to supervise the country, although his temperament is a little softer on weekdays, but he also knows how to advance and retreat, he is a county king who supervises the country, and he has never been Zhang Luo to go to court.

Why did this one change his sex today?

The ministers all looked solemn and thoughtful.

The Holy Lord and Prince Zhongshun have been buried for twenty-one days. Who can go so many days without eating or drinking? I'm afraid that the heavens of the Great Zhou Dynasty have changed.

I don't know the intention of King Lijun to summon them to the court today.

Among the courtiers, there are already people thinking about taking sides. There are also people who are loyal to Li Qitian and are full of anger. For a while, the faces of the adults were not very good-looking.

At this moment, there was a sharp voice that belonged to the Zhongguan outside.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

According to the rules, courtiers can't raise their heads to look directly at the sky.

Although all the ministers had a lot of opinions in their hearts about King Lijun daring to claim to be a saint, there was no one who was unruly at this time.

Out of the corner of everyone's eyes, they saw a figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, and the courtiers who hung their heads could not see the appearance of the person on the dragon chair, but could only see the brand-new pair of dragon gold-rimmed soap boots.

Sure enough, King Lijun has a heart of disobedience! He's going to rebel!

Recalling yesterday's fire in Prince Chungshun's palace, the ministers all connected the matter. It seems that King Lijun really can't wait!

At this time, some people figured it out and willingly knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

But there are also some people who think that King Lijun's move is the act of rebellious ministers and thieves, and they would rather die than recognize King Lijun claiming to be the emperor privately.

It is different in the posture in which the courtiers salute.

Those who were bought by King Lijun, or who intended to protect themselves, knelt down and bowed.

The stubborn old ministers and the officials who are not afraid of death only stand with their heads bowed and their knees slightly bent.

"Long live the saint!" The voices of the crowd were scattered.

Li Qitian, who was sitting on the throne, lowered his eyes at the courtiers who saluted in a completely different posture under the imperial stairs, and couldn't help but feel comforted.

Those who kneel down and say "long live" only account for 20% of the total number.

And those who refuse to say long live and bow down are fully eighty percent.

It seems that his country is still very stable, even if he has been missing for twenty days, and people outside are rumoring that he has died, these loyal ministers still did not immediately recognize King Lijun.

Li Qitian carefully remembered who knelt and who didn't, and then joked: "Why, you old guys don't kneel when you see me, do you want to rebel?" ”

Li Qitian's voice was loud and echoed in the hall.

The courtiers who lowered their heads heard this familiar voice, and they also looked up one after another, regardless of the rules of being able to look directly at the sky.

I saw Li Qitian wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, behind him Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu left and right, and surprisingly, next to Prince Zhongshun, there was also this pregnant woman with a flowery appearance and a moon appearance.

"Holy!" Everyone exhaled in surprise.

Li Qitian smiled: "You all see, it's me back!" ”

"Long live the saint, long live!"

"The saint is the true dragon emperor, and the old minister has long known that the saint will definitely return safely!"

The ministers knelt down in unison and bowed, and even more so, they burst into tears of excitement.

In the midst of the crowd saluting, the two adults who knelt down first recognized King Lijun were already trembling.

It's over, it's over, the people who shouldn't have come back are back, isn't it here to purge them?

At this time, they couldn't care about why the saint stood up together except for Ji Zeyu and Xiao Xiao, and even the women stood up together. They are now just trying to find a way to survive. We must not let the Holy One think that they are all going to rebel.

Rebellion is a great sin that can bring harm to the family!

Just when everyone was nervous, the new eunuch Xiong Jinshui had already preached loudly: "There is a decree in the saint, if there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat!" ”

As soon as he said this, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.

The saint did not solve the problem of rebellion at the court meeting, but only asked about national affairs. Where can I find such a saint who is important for state affairs?

It was like everyone beating chicken blood, and all the things that had accumulated in the past few days of Li Qitian's absence were played. It will even be discussed in the temple.

Qin Yining stood behind Li Qitian, looking at the faces of the courtiers, but what he thought in his heart was that the ministers would face the reshuffle after the court meeting.
