Chapter 175 Riding a horse and hanging a sword

The Muyang Palace has not been affected by the outside world, and has been gentle and dry for many years, thanks to a letter from General Yang that year, so that the hundred officials realized that there was no need to toss themselves.

Zhao Qinian was also as good as a stream, and asked the craftsman to improve the structure of the palace without any opinions.

The civil and military officials were lined up left and right, and after Zhao Qinian sat on the dragon chair, they all bowed and saluted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is the flood management in Chudi?" Zhao Qinian looked around among the hundreds of officials, and finally turned his gaze to Li Xiang.

It's just that before Li Jinglan could speak, Su Jiahe, the secretary of the military department, stood up first, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play." ”

"What's the matter with Su Aiqing?" Zhao Qinian was stunned, but he didn't dare to look at Su Jiaji, because he always felt that Su Shangshu was too fierce.

The same is true of acting.

Su Jiaji glanced at Li Jinglan and snorted coldly, "The minister wants to impeach Chen Kang, the secretary of the household department." ”

"Impeachment?" Zhao Qi still looked at Su Jiaji at the end of the year, "What did Chen Shangshu do?"

Chen Shangshu borrowed the order of the sailor from General Yang to transport grain for the people of Chu, and now that the Xiangjiang River has been opened, he still only let the sailor stay on the river.

The minister also heard that Chen Shangshu had close contacts with the Duke of Chu, and the sailors often stopped outside the city of Ezhou, but the grain obtained by the people was far less than the amount that should be transported, and the minister was afraid that Chen Shangshu and the Duke of Chu would be corrupt and pervert the law and fill their pockets. Su Jiahe's voice became louder and louder, echoing in the hall endlessly, making the hall even more dull.

Zhao Qinian's body shrank back, pulled out a smiling face and replied: "Su Aiqing is too worried, Chen Shangshu is Li Xiang's ......."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jinglan interrupted: "Chen Shangshu is recommended by Wei Chen, and his wisdom and character will definitely not do such a thing, if this is the case, the minister will bear it." ”

Su Jiahe snorted coldly and stepped aside, and Li Jinglan said again: "Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu is already on his way back to Beijing, let him write a recital and submit it to His Majesty, and then His Majesty will decide." ”

Zhao Qinian nodded hurriedly, but he thought in his heart that he would show Li Xiang when the time came.

The quarrel in the hall stopped, but Zhao Qinian felt that the hall was too quiet, and he was wondering if all the officials were holding their breath, otherwise they could even hear the wind outside the hall clearly.

"Do you Aiqing have anything to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a voice suddenly come from outside the hall.

......

The main gate of the capital is guarded by two forbidden soldiers and ten people, and each of the two guards in charge of guarding today is composed of three veterans and two recruits. The veterans have all participated in the battle to quell the rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the recruits are usually the children of various families.

The two military commanders were obviously relieved when they saw that all the officials had entered the palace, if something went wrong, they couldn't afford it, and just as they were thinking about it, they saw a person and a rider at the end of the street.

Yang Qi let the healthy horse under his crotch run for a while and didn't let it run again, because he wanted to see how the capital had changed in the past few months.

It's just that the cool breeze that penetrates into his waist makes his mind not on it, but fortunately there is no one around, otherwise General Yang's domineering side leakage makes people look not good.

Although he won't care, it's just.

He didn't dismount when he came to the city gate, raised his eyebrows and glanced at a few people, "Yo, I didn't expect to see acquaintances." ”

The two captains rubbed their eyes before they were pleasantly surprised: "General, why are you here?"

Several other old pawns were also a little excited, and their bodies couldn't even stop shaking.

And the recruits looked at Yang Qi with a curious face, they had only been in the Janissary for a short time, but they had been listening to the veterans in the army tell the story of General Yang leading their weak brigade to quell the rebellion, and General Yang's mighty image had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Seeing real people now, with preconceived ideas, also made them ignore the fat exposed at the crack in the iron armor on Yang Qi's waist.

"I'm coming to the court, what else can I do?" After Yang Qi finished speaking, he pulled the horse rope and rode his horse towards the palace.

Several people saw that Yang Qi did not get off the horse, but they only hesitated for a moment and let him debut.

After they saw Yang Qi disappear from sight, a new recruit couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Is it wrong for us to magnify the general riding in on horseback?" And now that the early dynasty has begun, we ...... it."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the helmet by Wu Chang, "Who is General Yang? What's wrong with the morning and late? What's wrong with riding into the palace?"

The recruit covered his head and felt a little aggrieved, but his admiration for Yang Qi was deeper.

Yang Qi was very familiar with the scenery in the palace, and rode his horse slowly towards Muyang Palace, and no one dared to stop him on the way, whether it was a palace maid, a eunuch or a guard, and they all lowered their heads and waited for Yang Qi to ride through before continuing their own things.

At this time, there were also many officials standing outside the Muyang Palace, even if His Majesty couldn't see them, they all stood straight. Of course, if they open their eyes, they can show their diligence more.

The sound of horses' hooves was not light, and several officials woke up, many of whom dreamed that they were on the battlefield, where the cavalry of the two armies were clinging.

Just as they were about to see who had disturbed their dreams, they felt a dark shadow cover them. When he turned his head, he saw that it was General Yang riding on a tall horse and wearing iron armor.

At some point, General Yang alone was more terrifying than the cavalry of the two armies, they didn't react for a while, and they didn't dare to shout, so they watched Yang Qi ride into Muyang Palace in a daze.

When Yang Qi entered the hall, they dared to whisper.

"Why is General Yang here? Haven't you been out of the house for a few months?"

"I offended too many people by building a academy before, but now it's out of the limelight?"

"Why does the general ride his horse to the upper hall......? Isn't that decent?"

"The general is still wearing armor, and he still has a knife hanging from his waist, what is this trying to do? Why don't you care about the forbidden army?"

"Most of the forbidden troops today are brought out by General Yang, and the general's words are better than Your Majesty's, where will they care?"

"Could it be that General Yang wants to rebel?"

The person who spoke startled himself and quickly covered his mouth, but was knocked by the person next to him.

"If the general wants to rebel, he has already brought troops here, how can he come alone?"

The officials outside the hall wanted to say more, but when they heard the movement in the hall, they quickly shut up and pricked up their ears.

Zhao Qinian was the first to see Yang Qi, he was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why did my father-in-law go to court today? Why did he still come on horseback? If you tell me that I can ask someone to pick you up, why let you work so hard and ride a horse yourself." ”

Then he saw the battle armor on Yang Qi's body and the war knife on his waist, he was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Why does my father-in-law still need to wear armor?"

Yang Qi did not answer, and rode his horse through the hundreds of civil and military officials on the left and right, and came to the front, but saw Su Jiahe, the secretary of the military department, and Heng in the middle.

"What kind of system does the general have to make a palace? Why don't you quickly dismount, take off your armor and take off your sword? The old minister will intercede with His Majesty on behalf of the general, and this crime can still be punished lightly. Su Jiaji is much older than Yang Qi, but his momentum is not weaker than Yang Qi on a horse, and his words are sonorous and powerful, making many ministers nod.

Especially the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Qi chuckled, but he pulled out the war knife at his waist and hung it on Su Jiaji's neck, "Su Shangshu may not have a chance to cure Yang's crime." ”

The ministers standing next to Yang Qi exclaimed, and all of them took a few steps back in panic, pointing at Yang Qi tremblingly, but no one dared to speak.

Only Li Jinglan stood silently in place, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Su Jiaji could clearly feel the coldness on his neck, but he didn't panic, and snorted coldly, "What's the matter? Could it be that General Yang dares to let this hall be stained with blood?"

Yang Qi also snorted, and was about to cut it down when he waved his knife, but he heard Li Jinglan say: "Slow! Yang Qi, it is already a serious crime for you to step on a horse and bring a knife to the temple, dare to let Your Majesty see blood?"

Zhao Qinian had already stood up in horror, but he didn't dare to speak, and looked at the ministers in the hall with trembling, as well as his most beloved father-in-law.

Su Jiaji glanced at Li Jinglan, who spoke for him, thoughtfully.

He has always looked down on Li Jinglan, who was born in a poor family and has no foundation in the court. Although Li Jinglan is a capable minister, Su Jiaji feels that he is too pedantic, and he doesn't like the righteousness of a scholar, so he has a lot of difficulties for him.

He didn't think that Li Jinglan was really helping him, but he just guessed that he knew what Yang Qi wanted to do.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm not here to kill myself anyway.

Yang Qi smiled at Li Jinglan, put away the sword but did not return it to its sheath, "It's really inappropriate to kill people in front of Your Majesty, and I'm not here to do this." ”

Zhao Qinian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled: "What is the father-in-law here for? ”

He always felt that today's Yang Qi was rarely a little resolute, but he was also more free and easy than usual.

It's like a big thing in my heart.

Yang Qi dismounted as he said, patted the horse's neck, and the horse neighed and ran outside the hall, and no one stopped him.

Yang Qi straightened up the somewhat wide iron armor again, clenched the battle knife tightly, and motioned to the surrounding ministers to retreat.

The ministers couldn't wait to stay away from Yang Qi, who didn't know what was crazy today, and when they saw Li Jinglan and Su Jiahe retreating one after another, they hurriedly did so, and the hall that was originally a little crowded for a while was empty.

Yang Qi saw that everyone was looking at him, covered his mouth and yawned, and felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and smiled, "I didn't wake up and did something ridiculous just now, I hope you don't care, hahahaha." ”

Of course, the ministers didn't think that Yang Qi really didn't wake up, but they all cooperated with Yang Qi and laughed, but the laughter was not sincere, but it was embarrassing.

Zhao Qinian was even more embarrassed, "Oh, I see, my father-in-law has worked hard, why don't you go to my palace to rest for a while?"

Yang Qi waved his hand, "Eh, I'm not busy resting, when I'm done, I have time to rest." ”

"What else does my stepfather want to do?"

Yang Qi smiled, raised his sword and pointed at Zhao Qinian, and the cold glow reflected from the knife made the temperature in the hall a few points lower.

"I want to be the emperor. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

Zhao Qinian looked at Yang Qi blankly, but laughed indifferently, "It turns out that my father-in-law wants to be the emperor, so I will let you go." ”

Yang Qi shook his head again and again, "No, no, no, I want to kill you and become the emperor again." ”
