Chen Qingzhi is undeniable about this.

He replied coldly: "It's a pity that the loser today is your Tang Kingdom, not my Wei Kingdom." ”

Emperor Tang was not talking.

He had to wait for Zhao Changqing to come.

He wanted to see for himself what the mentality of this opponent was after breaking through the Tang Capital.

He wants to leave the last days of his life to this opponent.

Otherwise, even if you die, you will not be reconciled.

Chen Qingzhi ordered someone to be stationed here in person, and he went to inform his emperor of the Tang Emperor's affairs in the palace.

At this moment, Zhao Changqing had just arrived outside the palace.

Sunset over the West Mountains.

Smoke fills the air.

There were fires everywhere.

In the air, there was also the stench of corpses.

When Zhao Changqing stepped into the Tang Imperial Palace, the sky that should have been gray, for some reason, there was a flash of brightness shining on his body.

When he looked up, he saw the sun in the distance, which seemed to peek out of the mountain again, but soon it sank.

Zhao Changqing smiled slightly and walked towards the depths of the palace.

At present, the entire palace is full of Wei soldiers.

Those eunuchs and palace maids who didn't have time to escape were already firmly controlled by the Wei army.

The die is cast.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu followed the emperor on both sides, following closely inch by inch.

When Chen Qingzhi saw the emperor's figure, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Li Qingcang, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, has found him and is in his bedroom. ”

Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "He can be regarded as self-aware, he didn't take advantage of the chaos to escape, and now this capital of the Tang Kingdom has been controlled by my army, even if he wants to escape, he can't escape." ”

Chen Qingzhi just wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped talking.

Zhao Changqing naturally noticed his expression and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Qingzhi said: "Your Majesty, go and see it for yourself!"

Zhao Changqing nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The capital of the Tang Kingdom has been destroyed, I want to see what else can stump our General Chen." ”

Chen Qingzhi was silent.

Along the way, Zhao Changqing saw countless corpses.

They are all dressed as eunuchs and palace maids.

He looked at Chen Qingzhi curiously, "What?

Chen Qingzhi shook his head, "This is all done by the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Changqing was slightly surprised, and then relieved.

He came to Li Qingcang's dormitory and saw him.

Similarly, the corpses in the dormitory were also seen.

Most of them wore costumes that only people in the royal family could wear.

It is not difficult to deduce that these are his relatives.

When Zhao Changqing came in, he asked Chen Qingzhi and them to stay outside the hall.

This is his last trace of respect for the deceased emperor.

Zhuge Liang and the others naturally had no doubts, and they all stayed outside the hall.

When the two emperors talked about each other, there were some things, and they were naturally not easy to intervene in as courtiers.

Moreover, with that Li Qingcang, alone in the main hall, it is impossible to hurt His Majesty.

On the contrary, it would have been easy for His Majesty to kill him.

When Li Qingcang saw Zhao Changqing enter the main hall, he laughed loudly.

Smiles, as desolate as they are, are as desolate as they are.

Zhao Changqing looked at him and frowned, "Why don't you commit suicide?"

Li Qingcang said: "I just want to see you, this is the first time I have kept such a close distance from you, the main thing is to see what kind of person the Emperor of Wei who can defeat me and destroy the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhao Changqing said expressionlessly: "A person who is diametrically opposed to you." ”

That's a good answer. Li Qingcang smiled bitterly, pointing to the corpses all over the ground, I don't know if he was mocking himself or Zhao Changqing, "How is it, how is my behavior today compared to the Xuanwumen incident you launched at the beginning?"

Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "You also deserve to be compared with me?"

Li Qingcang suddenly got up, moved the prince's body to the bed, asked him to sit upright, then looked at Zhao Changqing, and said: "To be honest, I am more ruthless than you, but I just don't understand why I lost to you." ”

Zhao Changqing's eyes were like torches, and he said bluntly: "You have lived until now, just to find out, why did you lose to me?"

Li Qingcang nodded, "In terms of military strength, I am almost equal to you, and I am not inferior to you in terms of generals, and when I fought with your Wei State with all the strength of the country, I thought of the worst result, the big deal is to let your Wei army occupy half of the country, but I don't know why, I just lost the country?"

Zhao Changqing said indifferently: "Time is also fate." ”

"That's right. Li Qingcang smiled bitterly again, and then he bowed deeply to Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "Why are you?"

Li Qingcang said solemnly: "As an opponent, I only ask you for one thing, and I hope you can agree." ”

Zhao Changqing chuckled and said, "Do you have something to ask for?

Li Qingcang sighed and said solemnly: "I, the Tang Dynasty, and the civil and military officials, they are all outstanding people, I beg you, be able to treat them well, leave them a life, they can help you govern the land of the Tang Kingdom." ”

"Talents, I have never lacked talents. ”

Zhao Changqing stood with his hands in his hands and continued: "Regarding the talents who govern the Tang Kingdom, I will select them from the country, and I can only promise you those civil and military officials of yours, if you can use them, if you can't use them, there is only a dead end." ”

Li Qingcang nodded, hugged his fists and said, "I, thank you! Thank you, Emperor of Great Wei!"

The last four words, he was especially loud.

Zhuge Liang and the others outside the hall thought that something had happened in the hall, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Chen Qingzhi even wanted to open the temple door.

Zhao Changqing looked at Li Qingcang and said loudly outside the hall: "I'm fine, don't come in!"

The current Li Qingcang no longer has the appearance that an emperor should have.

However, he is also an emperor, and he deserves to live decently in the last time of his life.

Li Qingcang put the sword in his hand on his neck, and said helplessly: "I actually want to see what the situation of your domination of the world is like, after all, the historical books of later generations will record you as a great emperor as the Qin Emperor, but I don't know if your Great Wei will also die like the Qin State!"

As soon as the words landed, he swung the sword in his hand and killed himself.

Zhao Changqing shook his head and sighed.

He slowly opened the temple door.

When Zhuge Liang and the others saw him, they hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, you."

All the soldiers looked at him with a radiant look.

Zhao Changqing looked at the ministers, and finally fell on Zhuge Liang, and said: "Tell the world that the Tang capital has been destroyed, and the emperor of the Tang State, Li Qingcang, is dead. ”

Zhuge Liang solemnly said: "No!"

The Tang Kingdom now exists in name only.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Changqing issued another order, "Let those civil and military officials come to the palace, if anyone does not obey, there will be no mercy, ask them, who is willing to surrender, if not, they will be killed, no mercy." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Weichen understands. ”
