Beijing City, Chaoyang Gate.

Chaoyang Gate has a total of three door openings, one of the two sides of the door, every day there will be people and businessmen queuing up to enter the city, to sell or enter the city to deliver goods, or to visit relatives and friends, or to drill camp climbing, in short, from the hour to the end of the hour, the crowd is crowded, shoulder to shoulder, the carriages and horses on the official road are rushing, and there is no end to see at all.

However, when dignitaries enter the city, they naturally do not have to queue up, and some people arrange to enter the city from the central gate, and there will be special people to sweep and clean the streets, lest they dirty the frames and honor guards of the nobles.

Today is the day when Wang Qi returns to Beijing, early in the morning, the Chaoyang Gate defenders received the news, and the deputy commander is also in full array, wearing armor from the opening of the city gate in the morning, waiting for the city gate.

And the palace also sent people to come early, with the will and reward of the reward, and also waited on the city tower early, waiting for the arrival of the Duke of Langguo.

And the people of the capital also got the news, and many people rushed to Chaoyangmen in advance, wanting to get a glimpse of the glory of Lang Guogong.

In addition, there are countless Beijing officials, who are surrounded outside Wang Qi's mansion in advance, and it is good to want to meet Shanglang Guogong in person and leave an impression!

At noon, on the official road, the dust is flying in the distance, from far to near, the sound of horses' hooves rings neatly in the ears, no need to look, immediately know that the person who comes must be a soldier in the army, elite soldiers and horses!

"Lang Guo Gong has arrived!"

Accompanied by the loud report of the guards guarding the city.

The main gate of Chaoyang Gate slowly opened, and the sound of a heavy wooden door moving came with a creak, and at the same time, two rows of soldiers with armor stood majestically on both sides.

The admiral general and the eunuch also came to the gate of the city together to welcome Wang Qi's arrival.

"Grandpa Guo can be in the back?" Wei Fangde stretched his neck, wanting to see where Wang Qi was behind, he was ordered by the emperor today, and came to receive the wind for Wang Qi, and the wine given by the emperor came directly from the palace in a sedan chair!

And Wu Yichun, the deputy commander of the Nine Gates of the capital, also looked nervous, rubbed his hands, and must do enough etiquette when he greeted Wang Qi for a while.

Dadada!!

In the midst of all the attention, Wang Qi, the prince of Langguo, was dressed in a black gilded python robe, and in the escort of the honor guard, he rode his horse slowly.

"Meet Lang Guogong!"

On both sides of the Royal Road of Chaoyangmen, there were all the people and officials who bowed to the ceremony.

Wei Fangde and Deputy Commander Wu Yichun were in front, and they also bowed deeply to Wang Qi.

Just experienced the Donglin forced palace, the protagonist of the matter Lang Guogong rushed back at this moment, the reason makes people a little confused, if Lang Guogong was in the capital at that time, then what is the result of the matter? No one could have predicted it.

But one thing, everyone can be sure that if the Duke of Langguo is in Beijing, if those literati have the courage to storm the Duke of Langguo, then what awaits them will definitely not be an understatement of the south.

Nowadays, many people think that it may be a good thing that Lang Guogong was not in the capital at that time. Otherwise, there will be more bloodshed and turmoil in the court, which is inevitable.

"Welcome back to Beijing! Jizhou Mansion calmed the chaos, the saint was deeply impressed, and gave a special altar of wine to congratulate the grandfather of the country! Wei Fangde first bowed to Wang Qi, then got up and took a glass of wine from his subordinates and saluted Wang Qi.

Tsk, royal wine!

Don't know what it's like?

The onlookers and scholars were a little greedy.

On this side, Wang Qi turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Wei Fangde, and took the wine bowl: "Minister Wang Qi thanks Your Majesty for your love!" ”

After that, the wine bowl was overturned, and Wang Qi raised his head and drank it directly.

The onlookers applauded.

At this time, in the restaurant not far away, two middle-aged men stood by the window, looking at Wang Qi who was guarded in the center of the crowd.

"See clearly!" The brocade-robed man asked the green-robed guest on the side.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do things and never leave any troubles," the big man in the green robe looked quite strong: "Within a month, this matter will be resolved!" ”

"The identity of Lang Guogong involves too much, so it must be an accidental death, and no one can catch any tricks!" The brocade-robed man gave a special order.

"Understood!" The big man urn was angry and nodded: "I, the White Lotus Sect, will definitely not disappoint the adults!" ”

What Yang Lian and Zhu Youzhen planned in prison that day was to create an accident and let Wang Qi die.

When the two were planning, Wang Qi had already received the holy decree, and in the midst of the guard of honor, he got into a sedan chair and headed towards the mansion.

As for the pointing, someone has done it first.

————

On the outskirts of Beijing, Willow Garden, the private residence of wealthy merchants in Beijing.

Today, someone invited Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who were about to go south to Yingtianfu, to be guests.

"Yang Lian (Zuo Guangdou) greets His Royal Highness King Xin!"

"No courtesy, two adults sit down," Zhu Youzhen sat behind the table in plain clothes, and a maid stepped forward to pour tea and boil water for the three of them.

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou sat on both sides.

"I shouldn't have come here, my lord, your identity is too sensitive, if the emperor knows, I'm afraid he will blame you," Zuo Guangdou still hesitated before coming, but when he thought of the current crisis in the court, he couldn't take care of it much, and went to the banquet with Yang Lian.

"Brother Huang has already issued three wills, urging me to leave Beijing as soon as possible and go to Huzhou to become a vassal domain," Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "Even if it is to blame, there will be no chance in the future." ”

"Now, the court situation has faced an uncontrollable situation, after I wait for the south, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, I'm afraid that no one dares to be an enemy of Wang Qi," Yang Lian's face was both sad and helpless: "It also affected Liu Jihui, and blood spattered the Qing Palace!" ”

As soon as Yang Lian's words came out, the three people in the room were silent for a while.

"Wang Qi arrived in Beijing today," not long after, it was Zhu Youzhen who took the lead in speaking: "I heard that the imperial brother also specially sent someone to reward him, and gave him rare things such as imperial wine and mica jade belts, which is really honorable!" ”

"The monarch's father is at fault, that is, we and other courtiers are the only ones, so this time, even if he risks being scolded by the whole world, he must let Wang Qi die!" The injuries on Yang Lian's body have not yet healed, I don't know if it is because of anger or pain, and he speaks with a trembling voice.

"This matter, this king has already arranged it, you can go to Nanjing with peace of mind," Zhu Youzhen straightened his waist when he spoke, and the old Zhu family's decisive temperament seemed to be really inherited from the ancestors.

And Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou on the side saw His Royal Highness King Xin so decisive and responsible, they glanced at each other, and a sense of helplessness rose in their hearts: If King Xin had ascended the throne at the beginning, why would the world be like this?

"Your Highness, this matter is for me and others, if something happens, I, Yang Lianbi, will be guilty of death, and I will not implicate Your Highness!"

"It's the same with a certain left!"

Zhu You looked at the two Donglin courtiers, and his eyes were full of trust: "There are loyal ministers in the world, just Wang Qi, why worry about it!" ”
