Chapter 641: Arrangement (1)
Li Qitian sat with his back straight, forcing himself to suppress his emotions so as not to show his smugness too obviously.
But the uncontrollable smile on his face still revealed his true mood now.
Life is really full of ups and downs, and there are many surprises!
When Li Qitian was trapped in the underground palace and had to eat Li Guanwen's corpse to survive, he could never have imagined that he would be able to sit in this position again.
When he had to beg for food by the side of Xiao Xiao, and he had to rely on an enemy who had torn his face to protect himself from the dark underground palace, Li Qitian could not have imagined that the person who helped him regain this position would be Xiao Xiao, and the people who helped him make up his mind would be Qin Huaiyuan, who was dismissed from his official position in a fit of anger, and Qin Yining, who was almost given up by him.
In any case, now he is back in that position.
Li Qitian pursed his lips and chuckled silently, and then said: "Today's incident is indeed caused by a Tatar spy who infiltrated the palace with the intention of taking the opportunity to be unfavorable to the royal family. Now that you can get out of danger safely, all of you Aiqing are indispensable. ”
Li Qitian's words made everyone respond in unison: "The saint declares, and Weichen is afraid." ”
At the beginning of Li Qitian's ascension to the dynasty today, no matter who came to the court, he hurriedly gave the two adults who knelt down the mountain and shouted long live, seeing that King Lijun had completely failed, and he was afraid that he would be liquidated by Li Qitian, where could he not seize this timetable and be loyal?
When even if someone came out to salute, he said loudly: "Qi Sheng, King Lijun gathered troops and horses to attack the palace, and when he was in charge of power, he already had bad intentions, and several times he praised his subordinates to support him as respect, which is really the ambition of the wolf!" ”
"You!" King Lijun was furious, and turned his head to glare at the upright minister.
Without waiting for King Lijun to say anything to refute it, several ministers came out and said righteously:
"What Lord Lu said is very true!"
"King Lijun is tyrannical in his power, perverse, reckless of human life for his own selfish desires, ignoring the monarch's power, he really deserves to be punished!"
……
The voices of several ministers were full of confidence and sonorous power, and they told the crimes of King Lijun more than everyone saw.
King Lijun trembled with anger.
Now these people who opened their mouths to bite him were all around him like dogs yesterday and flattered. Something happened, and these people only cared about whitewashing themselves in the blink of an eye!
Really, the reality is within his expectations!
King Lijun sneered, feeling disheartened for a while.
Forget it, the king is defeated, the road has come to this point, what else does he have to say? That's the way it is in this life, now that Li Qitian is back in power, what else can he do except be disposed of?
Li Qitian sat on the dragon chair and watched the good show below, and his mood became better and better.
Those who open their mouths to bite people are all dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and King Lijun is a lost dog!
The dog bites the dog's hair, and the negative emotions that Li Qitian has no choice but to rely on others to regain the power he wants are vented in this scene.
After appreciating the faces of these people, Li Qitian still didn't forget his business.
"I naturally know what you mean."
As soon as these words came out, the people who impeached King Lijun felt a joy on their faces. As long as the Holy One is willing to take their advice, they will have a chance to live in the future.
King Lijun's head was drooped, as if he was waiting to die.
Who knew that Li Qitian's words changed sharply, and he said: "But I understand everything in my heart about today's events." It's just a misunderstanding, and King Lijun is also trying to rescue the Queen Mother and the Queen, but he is loyal. As for the Aiqing, they are also dedicated to my loyalty, and you are not wrong. ”
Li Qitian and the muddy words, the people on both sides were stunned.
Qin Yining stood beside Xiao Xiao, and couldn't help but look sideways to check what the reactions of those ministers behind him were.
She believed that Ah Chen, who was present, could figure out with a little thought that Li Qitian would not punish anyone at this time. Just like Li Qitian asked to open the palace gate just now outside the palace wall, he wanted to appease not only the people in front of him, but more importantly, the soldiers and horses who were still standing in the palace now!
If King Lijun is found guilty today, wouldn't those soldiers and horses outside become accomplices of King Lijun's rebellion? If it causes a mutiny at that time, it will not be something that Li Qitian can control.
Therefore, no matter whether what King Lijun did was true or false, and no matter what King Lijun did to seize the palace, Li Qitian would not deal with it in person at the moment.
Sure enough, Li Qitian said again: "Now that the Tatar spies have been exterminated, the most heart-wrenching thing for me is the soldiers who were killed and injured this time!" I have decided that all the soldiers who died in battle today will be posthumously awarded and promoted to the third rank, and the surviving soldiers will be promoted to the first rank! The matter is left to the discretion of the officials. ”
"Yes." The servant stood up and saluted.
"Holy Wisdom!" The ministers saluted.
Li Qitian looked at King Lijun again, and said with a smile: "King Lijun and Marquis Qingyang, they have made meritorious contributions to saving the driver today." The king of Lijun is the prince of Li, and the marquis of Qingyang is the prince of Qingguo, and the sealing ceremony is handed over to the Ministry of Rites to be fully responsible. ”
"Command!" The people of the Ministry of Rites also came out.
King Lijun and Marquis Qingyang were like being hit by pies from the sky at this time, and their hearts were full of accidents and surprises.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, at this time, not only were they not dragged out and beheaded, but they were even added to the ranks!
Although they were a little confused about whether Li Qitian was angry or not, the current situation made their hearts extremely stable.
Li Qitian turned and said: "Prince Zhongshun and Dingbei Hou Ji Zeyu, this time they have made meritorious contributions to the rescue, and they will each be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and ten horses of silk. ”
……
Next, Li Qitian rewarded those who performed well in the palace.
However, Qin Yining was not happy at all when he heard it.
Li Qitian just sealed the soldiers who participated in today's war, and the dead were promoted to third
level, the living are promoted to one level. You must know that most of the people who surrounded the palace today were Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu's private soldiers.
If these people accept the reward, it will be equivalent to eating the court in the future, and they will not be the people in the private of Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu.
Li Qitian is really yin enough, and at this time, he didn't forget to put Ji Zeyu together.
In Qin Yining's heart, Li Qitian's image was not high, but this time he had fallen to the bottom. It's a pity that under the current situation, Li Qitian's life is the most beneficial to the court, the people and the, so they can only pinch their noses and endure it.
Under Li Qitian's reward, this rebellion and seizure of the palace quickly turned the page, and the decisive handling was surprising.
There's nothing wrong with anyone. It was the Tatar spies who were at fault.
However, none of the people present were stupid enough to ask Li Qitian where the Tatar spy was.
Li Qitian nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a loud voice: "I have another thing to announce with your ministers today. I ordered the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qin Lao Ye to rest at home for a period of time, this time the court was turbulent, many ministers were killed, when the court hired people, I had to work Qin Lao to return to the court, and named Qin Lao Da as a scholar of Jianji Palace, Xiong Jinshui. ”
"The slave is here." The great eunuch Xiong Jinshui saluted.
Li Qitian said: "Immediately pass on my will, and invite Old Master Qin to come to the court to discuss state affairs." In addition, prepare lunch for the ministers and the soldiers on call outside. ”
"Yes!"
Xiong Jinshui hurried to do it.
With so many people to eat, the imperial dining room is definitely too busy. It can only mobilize all the large and small kitchens in the palace to get busy.
While waiting for Qin Huaiyuan to return to the court, each of the adults was given a bowl of rice porridge, two dough cakes, and a small piece of pickled vegetables. As for the soldiers on standby outside, it is easier, each person has two hot steamed buns with big faces, and there are enough cold water pipes.
Seeing that the saint not only asked them to wait in the palace, but also served food and drink when the meal was served, the panic in the hearts of the soldiers was finally able to be put down.
Qin Yining also had lunch at this time, and went to tidy up again.
The palace was not a place where they could talk with confidence, so neither of them discussed the matter of Li Qitian's resumption of Qin Huaiyuan's entry into the pavilion. Even they have some doubts in their hearts.
Li Qitian suddenly acted like this, will there be Qin Huaiyuan's own operation in it?
However, no matter what, Qin Yining's heart was still happy that his father was able to be reactivated and find his place. His father had been in officialdom for half his life, and the refusal to take him with him when the Yan Dynasty's subordinates evacuated was already a blow to him, and now he has precipitated his mood and recognized the reality. I believe that when I return to the court, my father will be able to find his new position.
"Tired, aren't you?"
The low voice rang in his ears, accompanied by warm breathing, which brought Qin Yining back from his contemplation.
"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Yining looked up at Xiao Xiao and smiled at him.
Xiao Xiao put his arm around Qin Yining's shoulders, bent down and touched her belly, frowned, and said, "You were already tired last night, and you didn't sleep long this morning before you followed the court, and you stood for so long...... No, you won't go to the court meeting later. I'm going to find a place, and it's all about you to rest for a good life. No matter how good your body is, you are not suitable to stand for a long time. ”
Qin Yining was a little hesitant.
On the one hand, she wanted to know what Qin Huaiyuan was invited back this time, and what Li Qitian planned to do. But on the one hand, Qin Yining did feel very tired, and now her feet and calves were swollen. It's like two mallets, and every step feels very heavy.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao simply helped her get an idea: "Obedient, you are so restive, I will tell you what happened later." Are you still afraid that I won't be able to hide it from you? ”
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was already frowning, Qin Yining knew his worries, so he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay then." ”
Only then did he nod and said, "I'll ask for an order later, let Bingtang and Jiyun follow you, and I'll go to the court again." ”
It is naturally easy for Xiao Xiao to talk in front of Li Qitian now, and soon, Qin Yining was placed in a side hall to rest, in addition to rock candy and Jiyun, Li Qitian also arranged for palace people to serve outside.
Qin Yining freshened up, and slept on the soft couch half-leaning on the big pillow and clothes.
Even when she was asleep, she was restless in her sleep, and her mind was full of the tense situation she was in.
When she woke up again, she felt herself in a familiar embrace, both of them jolting slightly as the carriage swayed.
"Awake?"
