"Master never humbly praises people, saying hello, it means that you are indeed good, and you don't need to be so humble." Qi Junqing smiled, his master praised her, and he was happier than he praised himself.

Qi Junqing looked at the sky, "Master, it's not too early, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving." ”

"Well, it's okay, it won't bother you both, right?" His master smiled, like an old naughty boy.

After the three of them had dinner together, his master left happily, but what Qi Junqing never expected was that this time was the day when he and his master were separated forever.

The tallest and most glorious building in the capital is known to everyone to be the imperial palace, the night is as cool as water, the emperor is in the hall to deal with the folds, and suddenly found that there is a secret letter in the folds.

The emperor swiped and tore open the envelope, which was not signed, but the content of the letter was directly pointed out that Qi Junqing's master had rebelled, and Qi Junqing and his master had a secret conversation in the house for a long time tonight, and he was afraid that he would have the intention of rebellion.

The emperor snorted, threw the envelope on the table, and knocked over the teacup on the table, and the close-fitting lady on the side immediately stepped forward to clean it up.

"Say, is this letter true?" The Emperor sighed and asked in a low voice.

The little eunuch next to him shook his face, "The slave doesn't know, maybe the emperor has already made up his mind in his heart, how can I guess." ”

"I can't even trust my son anymore, let alone you minions, step down." The Emperor snorted, stroked his forehead and went to bed.

At this moment, his head is really hurting, and there is nothing in this world that he doesn't need to worry about, but even so, sitting high above the temple, the people below are secretly doing some small actions, he is still a little unpredictable.

Now Qi Junqing is responsible for the great Sima of the border pass, and he has monstrous power, and the soldiers and horses at the border pass all know only King Ruxian and don't know who the emperor is.

If he really has the intention of rebellion, then I am afraid it will be easy.

The emperor was lying on the bed in a daze, it was dark in his dream, it seemed that someone was holding him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, it was the sword qi like frost, and by the light of the sword, he saw clearly that the person who swung the sword at him was Qi Junqing.

"Rebels and thieves!" The emperor shouted, and then he woke up and bounced, his underwear soaked in cold sweat and sticky to his body.

The little eunuch immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you in trouble?" ”

"Nothing, what time is it?" The Emperor's voice was hoarse, low with infinite weariness.

The little eunuch turned his head to look at the time, and replied in a low voice: "At the end of the hour, the emperor, you can sleep for a while." ”

The emperor yawned, pulled up the quilt and lay down on the bed again, but at this time he couldn't sleep, and his mind kept replaying Qi Jun's cold face and merciless sword light.

After tossing and turning for a long time, he still sighed and sat up, "Change clothes for me." ”

The little eunuch didn't persuade much, and stepped forward with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and got up for him, after all, the most clever eunuchs who served the emperor were chosen, and the clothes were put on after a while.

He walked to the front of the desk in a leisurely manner, and the letter was still quietly placed on the table, and he couldn't help but pick up the letter and read it carefully, as if he wanted to find some impossible evidence from it.

However, what was said in the letter was conclusive, and the events pointed out were all justified and well-founded, which made him even more headache, and he didn't know who to believe.

As soon as the sky was faintly bright, all the courtiers were standing outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to summon them with a languid expression, and the only ones who had some spirit were secretly discussing something, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about when they listened closely.

The shrill voice of the palace man came from afar, "The courtiers have come to see you." “

Everyone lined up in turn to enter the main hall for the daily routine court discussions, and after reporting the routine court affairs, the emperor glanced at a certain official, and he immediately understood, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

"Oh? What is Li Aiqing's performance? The emperor said with a gloomy face and a hoarse voice.

It doesn't matter who has this music, the final outcome must be Qi Junqing, the emperor looked depressed because he had barely slept last night, and because he was in a bad mood, his face was even more gloomy.

Master Li took out the letter that he had opened from his sleeve, raised his hands above his head, and looked solemn, "The minister received an anonymous letter yesterday, which claimed that when the border pass of the Great Sima and the rebel thief would be suspicious in the dark night, this letter is conclusive, reasonable, and well-founded, please check the emperor." ”

Jiang Jing's face did not change, and her light voice resounded through the hall, "I don't know what Master Li said, who is the traitor?" ”

"It's King Ruxian's master, the man named Jiang Ming." Master Li's expression remained unchanged, and his words were sonorous.

In fact, Lord Li didn't have this letter at first, but today he was suddenly found in the palace by the emperor's personal eunuch, and the emperor asked him to take this letter to King Ruxian, and the emperor asked him to do it, just hoping that the face would look better and save some father-son intentions.

"King Ruxian is an important minister of the country, and it seems that it is too much to condemn him with just one letter, it is better to summon King Ruxian into the palace, and then arrest the person named Jiang Ming into the palace, and confront him face to face, and everything can be clearly understood." Jiang Jing's expression was firm, and she secretly sighed that I am afraid that this is a father-son drama.

Qi Junqing came very quickly, he was dressed in white, his face was like a crown of jade, when he entered the hall, his face was a little pale, and he looked a little bad spirit, first saluted respectfully, and then said innocently: "I don't know what happened to my father and emperor summoning his sons?" ”

"King Ruxian, Lord Li has a letter in his hand, which indicates that you have a private relationship with the traitor Jiang Ming, what Lord Li said, is it true?" The Emperor coughed lightly, and his voice became a little clearer.

Qi Junqing lowered his head and leaned over to make people unable to see his expression, "Yesterday he did come to play chess with Erchen, but Erchen really didn't know that he was a so-called traitor, I don't know if there is evidence for what Master Li said, and you can't slander this king just by relying on a false letter." ”

"Indeed, then wait for that Jiang Ming to be arrested and brought to justice, and let you confront each other." The emperor quickly slashed through the mess.

Since the emperor has given orders, and the others dare not leave, they can only wait for the final result in place, Qi Junqing frowned, feeling that something is not quite right, such an obvious target, can't the emperor see it, or is the emperor the mastermind? Thinking of this, he looked up at the man sitting on the dragon chair above.

After a while, the guards came back, and Qi Junqing saw that he didn't bring his master over, and his secret feeling was not good, and his pale face was even more gloomy.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Mingji committed suicide and went to his home, and his subordinates searched for these in his home." After speaking, the guards presented some letters and a blood letter to the emperor.

The emperor read the blood book first, Jiang Ming showed on the blood book that he did not rebel, Qi Junqing was just a general friend, and when he saw this blood book, he had already died, so the emperor should not pursue it further.

Then he opened the letters and looked at them, although they seemed to have traces of rebellion, but they didn't seem to be gossiping about ordinary letters, and he threw the letters back on the table boringly and lazily, and then stared at Qi Junqing tightly for a while, and his expression did not change, not like some rebellion.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Today's incident is that I have misunderstood King Ruxian, since King Ruxian is not in good health, then go back and rest first." ”

"Thank you father, son, retired." Qi Junqing knelt down to thank him, then turned around and left the palace.

When he returned to the house, he went straight to Jiang Youjing's small courtyard, and saw that she was drinking tea leisurely, and he was also affected by her emotions, and his excited heart calmed down.

"Lord Wang, why did you come back so soon, what is the matter with the emperor's summons?" Jiang Youjing looked up and saw Qi Junqing, and asked with concern.

Qi Junqing sighed in a low voice, and the frightened Jiang Youjing immediately raised his head and stared at him, thinking that something big had happened, "What happened in the palace?" ”

"My master died in his family today because some people said he was a traitor." Qi Junqing took a deep breath and replied softly.

Jiang Youjing frowned, since ancient times, it was the most ruthless emperor, the emperor was always suspicious, sitting on a high position, you never knew what he was thinking.

"Then let's bring a Nanmu coffin and bury your master, otherwise I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to collect his body." Recalling that the person who played chess and laughed with her yesterday will leave her forever today, Jiang Youjing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Qi Junqing waved his hand, "Well, we'll go in the afternoon." Then he thought of something, "That letter, do you think we should send it to the palace to the emperor?" ”

Since someone wrote that letter, it means that someone in the court must be staring at him, and now is the time when the wind is tight, and it is not * complete to leave this letter with him, it is best to give it to the emperor.

"You mean the March 13 letter?" Jiang Youjing looked up at him and said.

Qi Junqing nodded, "Yes, the situation is different now than before, if this letter stays here any longer, I'm afraid it will be complicated, and it will be a little unclear at that time." ”

Jiang Youjing thought for a while, "Indeed, it's better for us to send it to the palace now, and then go out of the palace to serve the master..... Collect the corpse, so that you don't have to be gossiped about when you get it. ”

"Now I'm afraid that someone is targeting me, not gossiping, Master, but came to my house yesterday, and early this morning, someone anonymously said that I had an affair with a traitor, isn't this obviously waiting for me here." Qi Junqing's face was ugly.

"And who is the target of this person against you?" Jiang He said in a quiet voice.

She is more concerned about who is behind the scenes, this person obviously wants to kill Qi Junqing, if he is not found out, I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future.

Qi Junqing shook his head, "It's not certain who is at the bottom for the time being, and we still need to find out after investigation." ”

He is not the kind of person who can't hold his breath because of his momentary temperament, and there are not many officials in the DPRK and China who are not staring at him now, and he must not act rashly now, otherwise this rebellious theory will never be cleaned.
