The clear voice fell for a long time,

There was still a dead silence in the hall, and the pins could be heard,

Looking at the back of the young man,

Remembering what he had just said,

Just like countless spring thunders exploded in the minds of the ministers, everyone was in a state of confusion, and it was difficult to react for a while, the corpse on the ground was still warm, and there was still blood on the spring breeze knife that had not been wiped clean, all of this told them that everything that happened in front of them was real.

After a long time,

"Chaotic ministers and thieves are in charge, when the palace kills people, and the royal blood is extinguished!"

"What kind of face do we have to go to see the first emperor!"

An elderly minister stood in line,

Stretched out a trembling hand and pointed to the young man's back,

I want to reprimand him for his cold-blooded behavior.

Xu Xian turned around and looked at the man quietly, there was still no trace of emotion on his face, the white silk in his hand was gently grinding on the knife body, and there was an extremely subtle sound coming out.

The morning sun fell on the sword,

The reflected light made the old minister hide his face and want to block it,

Subconsciously to avoid,

Xu Xian grinned abruptly, his white teeth were cold,

The minister took a few steps back in horror, and fell to the ground with one of his feet, and the old fingers finally hung down weakly, and his lips kept trembling, but his eyes did not dare to look directly at the young man outside the gate of the Taihe Palace, and he only felt that the man was like a giant beast that chose people to eat, and he was about to swallow his bones and flesh after two more glances.

The old minister finally exhausted all his courage, leaned on the pillar and gasped for breath, and looked closely at the remaining dozen old ministers intentionally or unintentionally widening the distance from that person, looking at him with pity in his eyes, just like a living person looking at a dead person in a coffin.

Xu Xian's gaze skipped over the crowd in the court,

fell on Qin Qingtang's body,

Slowly,

"Gong Qin doesn't have to rush to give an answer, I can wait!"

"This world is very big, and the ravines in Qin Gong's chest are difficult to level. ”

"I believe that Duke Qin will not disappoint this hall!"

The young man in the black and gold python robe looked down at the clear blade, gently carried it on his waist, and the white silk in his hand was only shocking red, and the direct bloodline of the Li family in Longxi was cut off.

I said that I don't care if there is an edict of abdication, I don't care about the abuse of the people in the world, and I don't care whether I am in the right position or not, and it is difficult for the natives of this world to understand in my heart, because some ideas have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and how can we open peace for the world forever if they are not broken and then established?

"You lied to me?"

Qin Qingtang raised his head, and the sadness on his face overflowed,

"I didn't lie to you. ”

"I never promised Duke Qin not to kill Li Xian, not to kill Li Yan. ”

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a murderous bastard, but these two people must die, if they live, it will only make more people die, I believe this is what Qin Gong doesn't want to see. ”

Xu Xian looked at Qin Qingtang and explained very seriously, in his eyes, this person is very important, even more important than the princes above the court, so he doesn't want to let this person die easily, because this Daqing, who is already terminally ill and collapsed, is not worth it.

Liangzhou 300,000 iron rode into Beijing, with war horses, knives, and iron halberds, to pry open the capital of Daqing, but the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in this territory have not yet been pocketed, and many things in the country still have to have a person to preside over the overall situation, that person must be trustworthy, and he must also be capable, and he must be familiar enough with the system of officialdom.

If you think about it, there is only one person,

That's Qin Qingtang,

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Highness. ”

"I'm old, the old man should accompany Daqing on the last journey. ”

Qin Qingtang's lips turned a little pale, and finally sighed.

"Duke Qin, why should you be humble?"

"What Duke Qin has done in the court for more than a month, Xiaosheng is also very impressed in his eyes, Qingguo is dead, how can Duke Qin still have thousands of ravines in his heart?"

"Could it be that the full stomach is really going to be brought into the loess?"

"Aren't you ashamed of the people of the world!"

I don't know when a small student outside the main hall shouted, and if you look closely, it is a white-faced scholar who has changed back into a white dress at this moment, Bai Xiaosheng looks quite bookish, salutes Xu Xian, and then walks into the hall, as the head of the Liangzhou Spy Division, he naturally knows what Qin Qingtang has done these days.

"The old man has been on the sixtieth year for a long time, and I'm afraid he has only brought it into the loess. ”

Qin Qingtang was still unmoved, Bai Xiaosheng's words were useless, and the twilight on his body was still thick from a distance.

"This hall has read an ancient book, and the ancient book has a saying, "Zhao Yishu was trapped in the Qin soldiers, Zhao Wang Sifu was Lian Po, and Lian Po also thought about reusing it for Zhao." The envoy of the king of Zhao regarded Lian as still available. Lian Po's hatred Guo Kaiduo and the envoy Jin ordered it to be destroyed. The envoy of Zhao saw Lian Po, and Lian Po was one of the rice buckets and rice, ten catties of meat, and was put on the horse by the armor to show that it was still available......"

"Who asks, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

Xu Xian's clear voice echoed above the main hall, the story of the previous life was not recorded in this world, but it did not prevent everyone in the court from understanding the meaning.

"Gong Qin, what is the so-called old man?"

When the words fell, Qin Qingtang was slightly stunned.

After a pause, Xu Xian continued to speak.

"I think that in the heart of Duke Qin, the people in this world are much heavier than the Li family. ”

"If Duke Qin is willing, he can also join me as a minister!"

"There are thousands of gullies in Qin Gong's heart, but they can be used in my great work. ”

Xu Xian looked at Qin Qingtang with burning eyes and said word by word.

After a long time,

There was still no word in the field,

But there was an inexplicable look in the eyes of the remaining ministers, and there were many sighs in the eyes of Qin Qingtang in addition to envy, but the two corpses on the ground were no longer cared for after the incident.

Leave a name in history, fight for righteousness and death,

The reason why people yearn for people,

Because most of the time, only a very small number of people can do it, because it is rare, it is precious, and it is also difficult to do, after all, when it comes to facing the bright knife, it is already rare to be able to not cramp in the legs, let alone die calmly.

"Your Majesty!"

There is an extremely subtle whisper,

There was little blood oozing from the necks of the two corpses in the Taihe Palace, and the carpet that was originally vermilion had become scarlet at the moment, and the air was filled with a smell of blood that could not be dissolved.

Several old eunuchs carefully retrieved the head of the little emperor Li Xian, wanting to piece it together, and suppress their movements as much as possible for fear of disturbing the person outside the hall, but they helplessly found that they could not do anything, but after a moment's effort, the yellow robe was also full of blood, and the head was even more stained with blood.

"Your Highness, give Daqing the last bit of decency. ”

Qin Qingtang looked down a little sluggishly, and finally looked up at Xu Xian and said.

"Yes!"

Xu Xianyang raised his hand and the Liangzhou soldiers took two white cloths into the inner cover, lifted the two corpses on the ground and walked out of the hall.

"The soldiers and horses of the Qi State are coming. ”

Qin Qingtang was stunned for a moment and then said abruptly.

"Before the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry entered Beijing, there were envoys with national letters to the territory of Qi State, if nothing else, the army of Qi State will set foot on the southern border pass, the country is not safe, and there is Daqing in the south...... There are still millions of people in the south of the Great Qian......"

Qin Qingtang looked at the huge Taihe Palace, looked at the empty dragon chair, looked at the two corpses on the ground, and sighed, after all, he still couldn't rest assured that there were countless dawn people in the world of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

"There is still my Liangzhou son-in-law outside the capital, and my father came to Shangjing non-stop after collecting the battlefield of Munoyuan, and now it is calculated that there is still one day to come. ”

"Gong Qin, don't worry. ”

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment and looked at the head of the mantis on the ground, and it was clear to him, sure enough, a crazy woman can do anything unbelievable.

"Gong Qin, where are you going?"

Qin Qingtang looked at the corpse that was carried away and listened to Xu Xian's words, and his chest was full of breath.

Turbid exhalation,

The old body is straight,

Perhaps,

Maybe I'm loyal to Daqing, not the Li family,

Perhaps,

Maybe the decision I made right now is the right one.

Walk out of the temple,

Xu Xian turned sideways slightly, and the soldiers around him did not stop him.

Walk up the white jade steps,

"Bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and burning paper!"

"Seven days later, the old man came here to go to court!"

Qin Qingtang turned to Xu Xian and bowed,

Yang sleeve wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes,

Step by step down the white jade steps,

When his back straightened again, the twilight on his body was swept away.

If you look closely, it looks like an old man who is dying?

"Your Highness, has Duke Qin surrendered?"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Qin Qingtang's back and was a little stunned, he just tried his best, but he still didn't expect it to be in the end.

"Accident?"

"Makes sense. ”

Xu Xian breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered.

He didn't doubt whether Qin Qingtang had the courage to die and die righteously, but in the end he still didn't die, because in the end, he figured out that maybe in his heart, the people in the world were still heavier than the Li family in Longxi.

For such people,

It is not surprising to make such a choice.

Out of the palace gates,

Walking to the Prime Minister's Mansion,

Looking at the yellow paper money everywhere on the street corner, there is paper ash washed by the rain and the remaining muddy water, and there is unburned yellow paper that is wet by the rain and pasted on the bluestone slab.

"It turns out that Qingming has passed. ”

Qin Qingtang muttered.

Xiangfu,

Outside the door,

"The master is back!"

"Your Excellency is back!"

The moment he pushed the door open, countless suppressed exclamations sounded, and when his eyes fell on the dozens of Liangzhou soldiers in red clothes and black families on the street, he was as silent as a cicada in an instant.

"My lord, hurry up and enter the house!"

The man who called Ren Zhi took a few steps forward with bated breath, blocking in front of Qin Qingtang, looking at the Liangzhou soldiers on the street, his heart was sad, but he still silently protected Qin Qingtang for half a step without retreating.

Qin Qingtang's heart moved slightly,

There is also no explanation,

Just keep walking towards Fuchu.

Seeing that the Liangzhou Iron Rider on the street did not move, Ren Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, although he was puzzled, he couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly wanted to close the door.

"Duke Qin take care, His Highness will personally visit you in seven days!"

When the gate was about to close, the captain turned over and dismounted and bowed to Qin Qingtang.

"Save. ”

Qin Qingtang turned around and his lips moved slightly,

The lieutenant saluted again, then turned over and mounted his horse.

"Da, da......"

The sound of horses' hooves is far away, the huge long street is empty, but if you look closely, there are personnel from the Liangzhou Espionage Department secretly protecting each other at the end of the street, and now the capital is still very chaotic, and the people that His Highness values should naturally be protected, not to mention that more often the danger does not come from the Liangzhou soldiers, but countless former colleagues in Beijing.

After all, the city is broken, and the country is destroyed,

Everyone is in danger, and they can't live in fear,

Only you, Qin Qingtang, are still the marquis and worship the prime minister,

How can it be difficult to calm the minds of others?

......

"Bang ......"

The door closes, and all the sight of the spy is blocked,

"Sir!"

"Daddy!"

"Grandpa!"

There was a sound of crying and crying in the inner courtyard of the house,

There are relatives in the house who come out and come up,

Since Qin Qingtang was lying at the palace gate, the ladies in the house have been washing their faces with tears every day, and when the city was broken, tears were raining down, and they were panicked in their hearts, just afraid that this once-prosperous prime minister's mansion would be full of devastation, but now Qin Qingtang not only did not die, but was respectfully sent back to the mansion by the Liangzhou soldiers, how not to surprise people, how not to make people cry with joy.

"Sir, I have suffered this day. ”

"Someone!"

"Go and prepare a bucket of hot water and clean clothes......"

"I'm boiling a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish my body. ”

Qin Qingtang's wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a cup of hot tea and handed it to her husband, and then ordered it in an orderly manner.

"No problem!"

"Let it go, go and prepare some incense candles and yellow paper. ”

Qin Qingtang took a shallow sip of tea,

He whispered to Ren Zhi behind him.

"Master, let's rest first. ”

Mrs. Qin comforted, and then waved her hand, and the crying crowd dispersed when they saw this.

"No need. ”

The old man washed up and went. ”

Qin Qingtang put down the hot tea in his hand and walked into the house.

The backyard of the Prime Minister's House,

An attic,

After bathing, Qin Qingtang changed into a white linen robe,

There are incense sticks in the ground,

Yellow paper burns,

Looking at the Northland,

"Hearing this, the old man may not be able to fulfill his promise. ”

"It's a stormy ......"

Qin Qingtang squatted under the eaves and whispered,

One after another yellow paper money was opened, lit on the incense candle, slowly swallowed by the tongue of fire, there was curling white smoke rising, I don't know how long it took for the ground to be full of paper ashes, even the linen clothes on the body also carried lingering fireworks.

"Grandfather, this is?"

The meaty female doll was in Mrs. Qin's arms, looking at the grandfather who was whispering by the fire was very puzzled, since he returned to the mansion to bathe and burned paper here, he didn't even hug his favorite granddaughter on weekdays.

"Your grandfather has a lot of things in his heart......"

Mrs. Qin stood quietly in the distance with the female doll in her arms and watched, and before she knew it, the corners of Mrs. Qin's eyes were moist.

After a long time,

Turned around and looked in the direction of the Taihe Temple

"Minister, I am ashamed of the emperor, I am ashamed of Your Majesty!"

Qin Qingtang said silently in his heart.

The head slammed to the ground, and he could not kneel down,

It's the end of the hour,

The yellow paper money around him is still burning slowly,

I just don't know who it burns with?
