Today's court meeting is unusual, at the moment, the courtiers just entered the Xuande Hall and felt the slightest chill, obviously it is only the season when the cicadas are about to fall, but the hall is like the middle of winter, although many courtiers smell some cold meaning, but it is true that they have not heard any rumors, Qi Qi Chaozhang let him look, I hope that this Shoufu Lord can mention a little bit or two, and make some preparations as soon as possible, so as not to anger Long Yan.

I saw that this Lord Shoufu looked at his nose and nose and his heart, with a contemplative look, and the strings in the hearts of the courtiers were immediately tight, as the emperor's confidant ministers, they didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves at this time, and these courtiers didn't dare to move.

When there was a dead silence in the hall, a slightly hurried footsteps sounded, Zhou Qi came to the hall in a golden dragon robe, and just sat down, before the celebrant and eunuch said: "Something is heard!" heard a crisp sound, Zhou Qi threw a piece of music in front of the courtiers, and the ministers hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Okay, okay, put away your sin and deserving death to me!" Zhou Qi said in a solemn tone: "Do you know which courtier I saw yesterday?" Zhou Qi looked around, and when he saw that no one answered, he continued: "Don't pretend to know nothing, you don't dare to buy my personal person, can you still understand a few eunuchs guarding the palace gate?" Qi Zixiao, you can tell me." ”

Among the servants, the minister of the court was shocked, and suddenly sweated like rain, and said in a trembling tone: "The minister, the minister doesn't know!" Zhou Qi immediately glared at him angrily, and shouted: "You don't know? You don't know that you ordered the housekeeper to count the family property last night, and your Lord Qi has a big business, and he didn't finish the calculation before the last dynasty! I heard that you have 80,000 taels of gold at home? Now you are still thinking about which dart bureau to hire for you to escort back to your hometown in Yangzhou!" Qi Zixiao softened when he heard this, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.

Zhou Qi didn't wait for the courtiers to react, and then said: "Compared with the audience, there are a few loyal ministers who know!" Zhou Qizhongchen bit the word very clearly, and knelt down to worship the ministers and held their breath.

"Yesterday afternoon, Fengxiang procuratorial envoy Wang Baitao came to me and told me that just yesterday afternoon, the 5,000 defenders of Fengxiang Mansion were completely annihilated by 13,000 light cavalry from Xiliang, and Fengxiang Mansion sentenced Ming Qi to be martyred. Zhou Qi's tone was unexpectedly calm, but it echoed in the ears of the kneeling ministers, but it was like thunder.

"Knowing so many 'consolidated' ministers, why did I call out a Qi Zixiao alone? As long as you don't have eyeliner by my side, I can be regarded as invisible, and it won't be wrong for people with very big official positions to be well-informed, but I ......" Zhou Qi stood up and shouted: "But I can't tolerate a fool and still be in a high position!"

"Wait for a capital offense!" the courtiers shouted in unison.

"Thirteen thousand light cavalry, just thirteen thousand light cavalry, what does he want to do in Motongshan? I don't know, but with only thirteen thousand light cavalry, what can he do? Attack Tongguan or take Chang'an directly?" Zhou Qi stood with his hands in his hands and continued to say angrily: "Chang'an has 50,000 heavy armored infantry troops alone! Can he still attack the city with 13,000 light cavalry? Among my subordinates, he has a dignified official position, and he can be regarded as one person under 10,000 people, and he was so frightened that he counted his family property overnight! If this spreads, where is my face?"

With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Qi gradually regained his composure and said, "Zhang Rang!"

Zhang Rang got up, came to everyone, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, although the minister doesn't know why these thirteen thousand light horsemen came out, they must have come out for the son of Xiliang." ”

When Zhou Qi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Go on." ”

Zhang Rang continued: "Last year, the prince of Liang Wang and the second county lord left the territory of Xiliang one after another, and successively traveled to Jingnan, Lianghuai and other places, watching 13,000 light horsemen rush out, and even the court did not get the news. ”

Zhou Qi nodded, and called again, "The fifth barnyard of the military department is obedient. A young minister got up, bowed down and said, "The minister is here" Zhou Qi said: "Order the Fifth Barnyard of the Ministry of Soldiers to lead the 8,000 infantry army of Shenwuwei, the 5,000 infantry army of the Chang'an patrol battalion, and the 5,000 cavalry army of the Kyoto Hundred Refining Battalion to go south to Jinzhou and wait for the opportunity to act. The fifth barnyard replied, "The minister obeyed." ”

"The Ministry of Rites is still the book Lan Tingxi, and the Ministry of Punishment is the book of the Ministry of Justice, and the book is Jian Nanshan. The two old ministers stood up. "Lan Tingxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, immediately discussed this matter carefully with the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the bureaucrats of the two departments!" ”

"The Chinese book order and the household department are still in the book, so that they can listen to the order. Zhang Rang bowed, "Immediately stop all the supply of Xiliang's soldiers' salaries, and let me see how capable Xiliang is!" said and sat back on the dragon chair.

Zhang Rangnu pursed his lips, but when he saw Zhou Qizheng's angry appearance, he gave up, and said "the ministers obey the order" and returned to the list of the hundred officials.

At this time, Zhou Qi looked at the silent ministers, his intuition was boring, he waved his hand, and left. The courtiers only heard the eunuch say: "Retreat!" After that, they hurriedly got up and left the palace, and when they left the palace gate, they found that their backs were soaked.

Zhang Rang sighed, and also left the Xuande Hall with the courtiers, and the fifth barnyard saw this, came to Zhang Rang's approach, and asked, "Why is Uncle sighing?" Zhang Rang patted the old friend's son on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "The virtuous nephew must remember that this time the army is not as good as before, no matter what happens, remember not to hand over the army!"

Although the fifth barnyard didn't know why, since the uncle said so, he didn't ask anymore, stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Xie mentions!"

Zhou Qi, who was walking in the pavilion, had a cold face on his face, and said coldly: "How can my uncle be so easy to kill? Mo Tongshan, I can't tolerate you being bullied like this!" The murderous atmosphere of the court was fully revealed, and several eunuchs around him fell to their knees, not daring to approach, for fear of hearing something that should not be heard, and losing their lives in vain.

Zhou Qi walked forward alone, walked to the end of the pavilion, looked at the morning light that had just risen in the sky, and muttered: "But even if you do this disrespectful thing, I still don't believe that your Motong Mountain can live up to the Great Wu Jiangshan guarded by seven generations of ancestors, I would rather believe that the Qiang people united with the grassland barbarians to kill Chang'an than believe that the King of Xiliang will rebel!

Zhou Qi turned around and said, "Drive Tai'an Palace!"

Tai'an Palace is located in the northernmost part of the palace and is the bedroom of the concubine.

General Zhang Rang walked out of the palace gate, and saw Lan Tingxi and Jian Nanshan waiting outside the palace gate, neither of them got into the carriage and left, but repatriated the domestic servants, and stayed alone outside the palace gate to wait.

Zhang Rang approached and said in a low voice: "I know why the two adults came, and I only have one sentence to tell the two: Wait first, Your Majesty will change your mind." With that, he got into the sedan chair and left. The two stood in place for a long time, and Jian Nanshan asked, "Brother Lan, what do you mean by this?" Lan Tingxi frowned, thought for a while, and smiled implicitly: "Since Lord Shoufu asked us to wait first, then wait first!" Jian Nanshan nodded, said goodbye to Lan Tingxi, and turned to leave.

Lan Tingxi stroked his beard and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid Lan Tingxi will live up to your kindness, and the lord will humiliate the ministers to death, so that I Lan Tingxi will not be in vain." ”

Lan Tingxi walked slowly, it was a ghost who sent a god to the Guozijian, and saw the inmates who were studying diligently, with a smile on their faces, and the teaching doctor headed by Lan Tingxi saw Lantingxi, came to the front, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind is it today, Brother Lan has blown to my country's Zijian, there is still a month before this year's examination, and this is going to come to the school for the examination?"

Lan Tingxi waved his hand and returned: "What, this country eunuch, I can't come yet?" The two looked at each other, and they both laughed: "Old thief!"

Lan Tingxi said suddenly: "Brother Han still remembers what Dr. Yu said when I was young when I was a young man in the Guozijian examination, I said that in this life, I would like to establish a heart for heaven and earth and a life for the people. As a result, the doctor said: It is shocking to be able to learn all the saints in this life. When I was young and frivolous, I didn't realize this, but when I knew the destiny of heaven, I realized that I was not shocking in this life. The doctor known as Brother Han was stunned, and he didn't know why Lan Tingxi would say this.

"Brother Han, these prisoners are my big Wu Dongliang in the future, remember that a gentleman is like a jade, and the word "gentleness" is important. Lan Tingxi said that, then turned around and left, leaving only Dr. Han to bow and send him off.

The next day, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lanting Xi Xuande Hall died, and his eldest son Lan Xu was dressed in white and carried the coffin for his father to stand at the palace gate.

Impeachment of the Ten Unforgivable Sins of King Xiliang!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lanting Creek, the first wind bone in the world after the Spring and Autumn Period, died in the early autumn of Yonglong.

May I die for peace for all generations.
