Chapter 22 Expulsion of Ministers
Qianchang Palace, Qinzheng Palace.
Li Yunqing sat on the dragon chair and looked at the eighteen thirteen or fourteen-year-old women kneeling in front of him, and smiled: "You have done a good job in the past two years, and you have also practiced martial arts with Aunt Allure, and I have seen it in my eyes." ”
The eighteen palace maids are now considered big girls, and they are all beautiful in appearance, kneeling on the ground with respectful faces, but they did not bow their heads but looked at Li Yunqing sitting on the dragon chair with a smile on their faces. They knew that the man in front of them was the supreme man in the world, and he was the one who could decide life and death in one word. But the man in front of them is their savior, their brother. Over the years, Li Yunqing has not had any steam about the eighteen little palace maids in private, and has given them a lot of warmth like a big brother next door.
I only heard one of the palace maids smile and said: "His Majesty the Emperor has been kind to me and recreated, without the emperor, I might have starved to death by now, even if we are alive, there is no one who looks like us, what the emperor asks us to do, we naturally have to work hard to do a good job." ”
The other palace maids also nodded their heads again and again when they heard this, and Li Yunqing's face was full of warm smiles: "I asked you to wait for the martial arts to be of great use, and in a few days you will help me deal with one, this person is the first warrior of my Daqian Dynasty, and some of you may lose your life because of this, now I will give you another chance, if you don't want to, you can quit and continue to be my personal palace maid." ”
The eighteen palace maids looked at each other when they heard this, but there was not much fear on their faces. A petite-looking woman kneeling in the second row said: "We are deeply favored by the emperor, since the emperor's words are clear, it means that this is the best time for me to repay the favor, and the servant will never back down!" As he spoke, he slammed his head on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the palace maids said in unison: "We will never back down!" ”
When Li Yunqing heard this, his eyes flashed, and he stood up and walked down from the imperial court, and said to everyone: "After this incident, those who survive will become existences that are on a par with Jin Wuwei, and I will set up a Golden Finch Guard to become my personal guard." I will always remember the death in battle. ”
Hearing this, the eighteen little palace maids were very excited, Jin Wuwei's identity was very glorious, and they naturally knew it, but the woman couldn't enter Jin Wuwei at all. If there is a Golden Finch guard today, they can stand in front of the emperor openly and protect this person who is like their brother. Only the palace maids in the audience said in unison: "The servant waits for the grace of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Zhao Bingyan, who was standing aside after the eighteen palace maids withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, said slowly: "Now that there is still more than a year before you are in power, why are you in a hurry to get rid of that person?" ”
Li Yunqing smiled when he heard this: "Who sent the man in black last time, I already have a bottom in my heart, if the internal troubles are not removed, there will be a big mess at the critical moment, and I don't want to suffer from the enemy." Picking up the tea on the dragon case, Li Yunqing took a sip and continued: "In the past two years, our general has become more and more arrogant, wantonly enclosing land, and the general's mansion has already exceeded the system, and it is almost catching up with half of the Qianchang Palace. What's even more excessive is that he actually frantically excavated the tomb of the emperor of the previous dynasty under my nose, although the Hong Dynasty is dead, but the emperor is the emperor, disrespectful to the dead emperor, where can the living emperor be respected. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the north only know that the general does not know me, he already has a bit of a climate, I have to deal with him! ”
Zhao Bingyan nodded when he heard this: "In that case, how sure are you?" ”
Li Yunqing said lightly when he heard this: "Fifty percent, maybe lower, but I believe that God has eyes and will not bear the suffering of the common people." ”
Zhao Bingyan has confidence in Li Yunqing, and the two years of getting along have changed her opinion of Li Yunqing, a young man, a lot, and she believes that Li Yunqing is definitely a first-class wise person. She was sure that Li Yunqing would not put herself in danger, because Li Yunqing had the common people in his heart, how could such a person rest assured that he would hand over the common people to the hands of a powerful minister? After thinking about it, Zhao Bingyan continued: "When the time comes, Jin Wuwei's people can be hidden outside the main hall, and the chance of success in this cooperation will be greater." ”
Li Yunqing shook his head when he heard this: "The defense outside the main hall can't be changed too much, don't you know what kind of person Li Mu is, the kind of fierce person who crawls out of the mountain of corpses and blood is often the most vigilant, and he can't let him see the slightest clue." Do you know why I put eighteen little palace maids under Li Mu's nose for two years with great fanfare? I just let Li Mu get used to the people and things in this palace of diligence, so that he feels accustomed to it and relaxes his vigilance. In this way, the chances of winning will be greater, and it is easy for women to let their guard down, Li Mu probably wouldn't have thought that some half-sized palace maids would actually be a sharp sword. ”
Zhao Bingyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a look of sudden realization: "I said how did you get so many little girls back then, it turned out that it was for this." ”
Li Yunqing didn't speak, but just looked at his personal palace maid lightly, and there was one word in his eyes: "Stupid." ”
Today is the first day of the new year, after listening quietly to a big court meeting, and when the ministers all dispersed, Li Yunqing stopped Li Mu and said: "General, please stay, I have some things I want to discuss with the general." ”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then arched his hand towards Li Yunqing and said respectfully: "The old minister respectfully listens to the emperor's dispatch. Although he doesn't take the emperor seriously in his heart, he still has to have the etiquette, after all, his ambition is to leave a name in history.
Li Yunqing smiled and nodded to Chen Zhong and said, "Sit down and serve tea." ”
Li Mu sat down, and Li Yunqing then asked: "On the day of my accession to the throne, the arrogance of the envoys of the Eagle Department must have been seen by the general, is there any new movement on the grassland now?" ”
When Li Mu heard this, his face was righteous and Ling Ran arched his hand to Li Yunqing and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, how can those wolves on the grassland pose any threat to you!" When the emperor is in power, as long as you give an order, the old minister will carry a big knife and cut off Heige's head! ”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing grabbed Li Mu's hand and said a little excitedly: "If this is really the case, I will definitely thank the general, and when the general destroys the Eagle Tribe, I will give you the title of king!" ”
Li Mu didn't answer when he heard the words but laughed twice, at this time a petite palace maid walked up to the imperial suke with a small incense burner, and suddenly smashed the incense burner towards the laughing Li Mu when he went up to the last order of the imperial suke, although all this happened very quickly, but Li Mu deserved to be the first fierce general of the Great Qian Dynasty, he raised his arm violently and beat the incense burner out, but the incense ash in the incense burner also sprinkled his face, causing Li Mu's eyes to be a little blurred.
At this time, if Li Mu didn't know what was going on, it would be a disgrace to his name, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it to his side, first grabbing Li Yunqing and asking for clarification, but Li Yunqing's voice came from under the imperial court: "Li Mu, you will stay in this Qinzheng Palace today, and the fate between our monarchs and ministers will end here." ”
Li Mujian looked a little embarrassed at the moment, his official hat had fallen to the ground, the hairpin on the bun was gone, his long gray hair was a little scattered, he stood on the imperial suke and pointed at Li Yunqing and said loudly: "You actually want to kill the old man!" The old man is loyal to you, why do you want to treat the old man so much?! ”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing said coldly: "No one can erase your exploits to the Great Qian Dynasty, not me, not even Emperor Taizong." It's just that Li Mu has made a mistake that heroes throughout the ages have made, arrogant and high-ranking achievements! You can't restrain your ambitions anymore, don't you know what you've done all these years? ”
Li Mu's face was gloomy and uncertain when he heard Li Yunqing's words, but in the end he laughed wildly: "Since you know that Lao Tzu is a hero of the Great Cadre, you shouldn't treat the old man like this!" To tell you the truth, the old man was still hesitating, but you helped the old man make up his mind today, and the 300,000 soldiers of the Northern Army will set foot in the Qianchang Palace! As you said, this is the end of your fate as a monarch and a minister! ”
