Chapter 153: I Am the Great Dusk King (35)
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
As in previous years, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain civil and military officials.
Han Lian was busy with the makeup, the three thousand green silk were tied into a bun, and the dragon soared into the clouds, and the golden steps of the dragon soared into the clouds, and the woman in the mirror did not have a trace of smile on her face, not angry and arrogant, but without losing the style of her daughter's home.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go." Seeing that she was sitting for a long time and was silent, Han Lian reminded her loudly.
The hand hidden under the wide sleeve of the sleeve clenched the thing in the palm of his hand, and smiled slightly: "Swing." ”
Although the palace still calls her His Majesty, everyone unanimously looks forward to Jiang Ziqing.
The closer the New Year gets, the busier Jiang Ziqing becomes.
It is not easy to ascend the throne, and at best he can only be regarded as coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he naturally has a lot to do.
At the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve, all the officials who had already surrendered to Jiang Ziqing were invited, but those who had not surrendered were detained at home by heavy soldiers.
Torrents of snow fell from the sky, and the cold wind swept the snow, fluttering and shaking.
The hall where the banquet was set up was warm, and the singing and dancing were peaceful.
Ying Qi sat on a high seat, quietly looking at the ministers who were chatting happily below, Jiang Ziqing saw that she was silent, so he picked up the wine bottle and faced her afar.
"Your Majesty, a glass to Your Majesty."
The light in his eyes flowed, falling on Jiang Ziqing, a smile pulled up at the corner of his lips, patted his side, and said softly: "Ziqing, sit next to me." ”
Jiang Ziqing looked at her with a smile and sat beside her according to her words.
"Why are Ziqing's hands so cold?" Her plain hand rested on his big palm, and she suddenly felt cold, and she couldn't help frowning, as if she was a little complaining.
Jiang Ziqing held her warm hand in the palm of her hand with her backhand, and said with a smile: "Maybe I haven't seen you these days, my heart is cold, and my hands are cold." These days, he does feel that his hands are always cold, don't be sick, wait for the banquet to disperse for a while, it is better to find a doctor to diagnose and treat him.
Ying Qi raised his hand lightly and poured him a glass of wine himself: "Drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”
Jiang Ziqing took her hand and kissed it lightly on her lips, and said in a low voice: "How can wine compare to you." ”
The people in the capital did not know the court disputes, and they were still happy to reunite and celebrate the New Year, and the sound of fireworks began to explode outside the hall, and the sound gradually drowned out the laughter in the hall.
Ju Qi looked stunned, then his eyes were slightly disgusted, he glanced at him, and then brought the wine glass to his lips.
He had never seen her look so delicate, and the heart lake was like someone throwing a stone, causing ripples in circles.
Jiang Ziqing took the wine glass in her hand with a smile and drank it all.
Ju Qi lowered his eyes and smiled, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
The ministers in the palace seemed to be drinking and talking, but in fact, they were secretly observing the two people in the high position, but they couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw that Emperor Zhaoning and Longyang Jun were smiling and intimate.
Then Emperor Zhaoning was really not annoyed by what Jiang Ziqing had done?
Just when Jiang Ziqing and Ying Qi were laughing, the little eunuch who was serving Jiang Ziqing suddenly hurriedly walked over.
He whispered something in Jiang Ziqing's ear, and Jiang Ziqing's face suddenly changed greatly.
Seeing it in his eyes, the corners of his lips brought a smile like nothing.
"I'll go out for a while." Jiang Ziqing didn't even explain the reason, and hurriedly got up and left the table.
The ministers in the hall saw Jiang Ziqing leave the table in a hurry, and they didn't know why, so they immediately looked at each other, and for a while, the hall was a lot more deserted.
Ju Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at the ministers below with a smile, and said casually: "Why did Long Yangjun go, and the hearts of all the Qing Qing flew out?" ”
The ministers didn't understand the meaning of Maki for a while, and no one answered for a long time.
"It's just right, it's all together, and it also makes me work less." There was a faint coldness in the light of the seven eyes, and he smiled carelessly on his face.
The ministers only felt a chill on their backs.
Jiang Ziqing didn't care about the situation in the hall, and hurriedly walked outside.
"Speak carefully."
The little eunuch followed him step by step: "Commander Kong made a night patrol as usual, but he didn't return for a long time, only to find that he had been stabbed to death in front of Duan Hemen, not only Commander Kong, but also the team he brought out was also dead. ”
Jiang Ziqing's eyebrows were cold, Kong Jishi died?
At this moment, a guard trotted over in the distance: "Master, a team of night guards died in front of the door of Kaifeng." ”
Another little eunuch ran over, "Master, Nanshumen ......"
"Master, Huilimen ......"
In the blink of an eye, several people came to report, Jiang Ziqing trembled with anger, and when he was about to speak, his heart suddenly ached, as if there were insects gnawing inside.
"Master."
Jiang Ziqing endured the pain in his heart and asked sharply, "Which door is the dead again?" ”
The little eunuch was so frightened that he made a wooden face and stammered, "No...... No, it's the Pinggu Temple......"
The Pinggu Hall is the main hall for banquets.
Before the little eunuch finished speaking, Jiang Ziqing's face changed greatly, and he went in the direction of Pinggu Hall without caring about the pain in his heart.
When I arrived at the Pinggu Palace, I saw a group of soldiers holding swords and wearing armor standing at the entrance of the hall.
Jiang Ziqing's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he subconsciously stopped, but a person came out behind him at some point, holding a long sword around his neck.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at it, and was suddenly shocked: "Lehai? ”
Lehi was expressionless, and walked towards the hall with a sharp sword around his neck.
When he entered the hall, he saw that Ying Qi was sitting lazily on a high seat, and the person beside him was Qin Changyin. The ministers in the hall had already been controlled by the hands brought by Qin Changyin, and they all knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"You!" Jiang Ziqing's eyes were full of shock, and he was about to speak, when his heart suddenly hurt again.
Ying Qi chuckled: "Long Yangjun is still comfortable as a puppet emperor these days?" ”
Jiang Ziqing covered his heart, cold sweat was dripping with pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why isn't he dead yet?" ”
Qin Changyin's eyes were full of ridicule, and he laughed loudly: "It's up to you? ”
Ying Qi looked at Qin Changyin, who was laughing wildly, her eyes were full of smiles, and she turned her face to look at Jiang Ziqing: "You have a lot of pain in your heart?" Like a bug eating it? ”
As soon as she heard her words, Jiang Ziqing still didn't understand something.
He was spasming all over, "You...... You give ...... My glass of wine ......"
"Not only that, how did you give me hallucinogenic drugs in the past, these days, I have exchanged them for you." Ying Qi looked at him with a smile, his eyes were cold, "I wanted to keep Sheng Linchuan and use the mother Gu in her body to urge the child Gu in your body, so that you might as well be dead, but I didn't expect you to find the Gu King." ”
"As a last resort, I have been acting with you for so long, and all the mutinous people are in this hall at this time."
Jiang Ziqing's whole body shrank on the ground, twitching, "You...... What are you pretending? ”
"It's just a matter of counting." Maki Qi smiled slightly.
Qin Changyin sat up with a golden knife and said with a smile: "The taste of the Gu King is not pleasant, if it weren't for Li Hai finding something that can affect it, I wouldn't be able to see you like this now." ”
