Li Qinghuan

Chapter 129

Early the next morning, He Li was indeed summoned into the palace by an imperial decree.

Song Duan didn't say much, but gave He Li the military report from the northern border.

What was written in the military newspaper was no different from what Ji Qing said—the Donghu people were stationing troops, and they seemed to be preparing to take action.

It's just that although the handwriting on the military newspaper is [-]% similar to Han Jue's handwriting, He Li can recognize that it's not the handwriting of Old General Han, and he doesn't doubt it too much. After receiving the imperial decree, he left the palace and went back to Ji Mansion to pack his things.

I thought I could spend the last two days with Ji Qing well, but unexpectedly I didn't see Ji Qing at all. After asking the servants in the mansion, I found out that Ji Qing was called into the palace by the emperor in the past two days. I have time to come back.He Li, the person who was called away by Song Duan, had nothing to do with it, he could only lament that his life was bad.

The night before he left, He Li still couldn't wait for Ji Qing, so he wandered to Liu Zijian's small courtyard to say goodbye to him, but unexpectedly Liu Zijian was not there. helpless.

The person he wanted to accompany did not come, and in the early morning of the next day, He Li took the three thousand Red Wing Army and some regrets and set foot on the road back to the northern border.

……

At this time, the palace is still peaceful on the surface, Song Duan dismissed all the palace people in the Panlong Palace, leaving only Ji Qing.

Ji Qing drank his tea leisurely, and his expression was not a little reserved because the person in front of him was the emperor: "Your Majesty, we can't do it first and wait."

Song Duan seemed a little irritable, walking up and down in Panlong Temple: "Wait, wait, I've been waiting for ten years!"

Ji Qing was still indifferent: "Your Majesty has been waiting for ten years, can't you wait for this moment?"

Song Duan kept fiddling with the jade finger in his hand, and his anxious mood calmed down slightly.

Ji Qing continued: "Wait a little longer, wait for them to do it first."

Song Duan said: "They won't do anything until He Li is gone."

"It only took half a day. I have already replaced most of the people in the palace. Your Majesty, pack up your things, and I will arrange for someone to take you away."

Song Duan raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you don't regret it?"

Ji Qing gracefully put down the teacup: "Your Majesty has also fulfilled his promise, and you let go of the person I want. Doesn't it make me look very worthless if I repent now?"

Song Duan nodded, showing some appreciation, and said: "You also know that we are not [-]% sure about this matter."

"I know better than your majesty what I have arranged by myself." Ji Qing lowered his eyes, staring at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, thoughtful, "but this time it is worth a gamble, and if you win the bet, your majesty will not have to No matter how controlled and balanced I am, if I lose the bet, I will just bury my bones under the palace wall, and His Majesty can use this to get rid of Qi Bosheng and His Highness Prince Jing."

Song Duan walked up to Ji Qing and stopped, looking down at him: "Are you so sure that you can survive?"

Ji Qing looked up at him slightly: "Not sure."

Song Duan took a step back: "but what else do you want to say?"

Ji Qing thought for a moment, and said: "No matter what, Your Majesty must save General He's life."

"A Li?" Song Duan suddenly felt that he couldn't understand Ji Qing.

Ji Qing nodded.

"why?"

"Does Your Majesty agree?"

Song Duan didn't know why Ji Qing made this request, but he still nodded. Anyway, whether He Li can survive is not necessarily up to him. If he regrets it later, it is not impossible to find an excuse to get rid of him.

Ji Qing seemed to have read through his mind, and snorted coldly, his face full of indifference.

"Your Majesty, please move out of the palace, the sky is about to change."

Song Duan dressed up in disguise, and was temporarily escorted out of the palace by several experts sent by Ji Qing. At this time, only Ji Qing was left in the huge Panlong Palace.

The empty palace was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Ji Qing tapped his fingers on the table and waited quietly.

The sky outside gradually became a little dark, and there was a loud thunder, and the raindrops began to slam on the ground.

The heavy rain covered up the footsteps but could not cover up the sound of swords colliding.

"Who is coming!"

"kill!"

"Someone has entered the palace! Escort! Escort!"

"Someone has rebelled! Protect the emperor!"

"Go to Panlong Palace!"

Ji Qingduan was sitting in the hall, and a bloody little guard ran in, "Your Majesty—Master Ji, why is it you? Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is taking a break. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't disturb Shengjia."

The little guard wiped off the blood and rain on his face: "Prime Minister Qi and Prince Jing entered the Xuanwu Gate with their private soldiers, and they are almost at the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

"How many people came?"

"There are almost 5 people! Among them, there are a large group of people wearing Donghu costumes with them!"

"5 people?" Ji Qing lowered his eyes and hooked his lips and shook his head lightly, "Idiot."

"Master Ji, what should we do now?"

Ji Qing flicked his sleeves and stood up: "Go and tell Qi Xiaoyuan, the commander of the Imperial Army, to order him to lead someone to kill the commander of the Kyoto Camp, and let Qi Zheng take over, and wait for my order outside the Xuanwu Gate."

"Yes!"

The little guard ran out again against the heavy rain, and the fighting outside became more and more fierce. Ji Qingjing sat in the Panlong Palace, carefully calculating every step, and unconsciously lost his mind and thought of He Li. He Li should have passed by now. Is it Pingyao?

I don't know if I have passed by the mountain where I asked him for amulets. If so, I should think of him.

Ji Qing took out the old amulet and the black jade pendant that he had worn for many years from his arms and held it in his hands, as if it would make him feel more at ease.

This time, finally, he was able to truly avenge He Li.

He has been planning and planning for many years, how could he just regain the imperial power for Song Duan.

Ever since the plague suddenly appeared when He Li was doing disaster relief in Yongzhou, Ji Qing smelled a hint of conspiracy, then when He Li was pushed off the hunting ground and almost died here, and then when Ji Ming suddenly appeared in Ji's mansion, and finally From colluding with Donghu to kill Old General He, it was originally a trap set up for He Li, but by mistake, Old General was killed, all of these things were plotted by someone behind the scenes.

And the hands behind are Qi Baisheng and Song Kan.

Song Kan is the son of a noble concubine. Compared with Song Duanlai, he is much more noble and talented. How can a person like this be willing to just be an idle prince who raises flowers and plays with birds?

Ji Qing started to pull up this net in the fifth year of Xuande, and helped Song Duan regain real power step by step for today. Qi Baisheng wanted supreme power, but Song Duan couldn't give it to him in his life, so he chose to support Song Kan, Song Kan Although he has talent and learning, he has no ability to rule the world, and his background is noble, so he is perfect to be a puppet emperor.

If he wanted to support Song Kan, the first person to get rid of was He Li.

It has nothing to do with Ji Qing that Qi Bosheng wants to have great power, and it has nothing to do with Ji Qing if he wants to support the puppet to usurp the throne. Even if he wants to overthrow the Song family and establish himself as king, it has nothing to do with Ji Qing. He Li's thoughts.

From the moment he thought of harming He Li, he was included in Ji Qing's death list.

As for Song Kan, he was also going to be killed, but Ji Qing couldn't do it himself, he was He Li's elder brother.

Everything that happened today was within Ji Qing's expectation, even the time was right.

As the night fell, the rain did not stop at all, and the shouts outside gradually approached. Ji Qing was still quietly listening to everything that happened outside in the Panlong Palace, his expression was still calm and calm, but he was holding the coin tightly in his hand. Black jade pendant.

The palace was washed with blood tonight, and the dirty, white, unbearable, and beautiful things in the past will all be liquidated tonight. The screams of the maids and eunuchs resounded throughout the palace.

Ji Qing counted the lives of the entire palace in this catastrophe, including his own.

He was never afraid of death, but after having He Li, he kept looking forward to living a little longer, a little longer.

After midnight, the rain gradually weakened, from pouring rain to light rain, but the killing continued.

Chou time...Yin time...Mao time...Chen time...

When dawn broke, Qi Bosheng and Song Kan rushed to the Panlong Hall.

Ji Qing carefully put the jade pendant and amulet into his pocket, got up and opened the door of Panlong Hall.

"What's the matter with Mr. Qi's early morning visit? Your Majesty just took a break after dealing with political affairs all night last night."

Qi Bosheng smiled, narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and said with a fake smile: "Master Ji is very good at pretending."

Ji Qing curled his lips slightly, raised a finger to his lips: "Shh, don't disturb the emperor."

Qi Bosheng snorted coldly, raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him gave way. Song Kan came out from the crowd, put on a bright yellow dragon robe, and walked up to Qi Bosheng step by step with his head held high.

Qi Bosheng raised his head: "Your Majesty? Isn't your Majesty by my side? The foolish monarch inside has been on the throne for more than ten years without making any achievements. He has many disputes with our allies of the Great Wei. The wars are raging and the people are in dire straits. Where does he have the face to sit on the dragon?" Chair, today, I will eliminate this evil for the common people of Great Wei!"

Ji Qingwen said: "Qi Xiang's mouth is really powerful, and he can speak so righteously about coercion and treason. Your ability to turn black and white really convinced Ji. I have lived for more than 20 years. I have never seen you so shameless." of."

Qi Bosheng: "You!"

"Am I right? The Donghu people insulted my big Wei sisters and killed my great Wei people. Now Youzhou is still in Donghu's hands. You can go and see the houses in Youzhou that have been burned to ruins by the Hu people. , you can go and see the corpses of ordinary people who are full of knife wounds on the street, and you can go and see innocent women who have been abused and tortured to death."

"Now you say lightly, 'there are many disputes with our allies of the Great Wei, and the war is raging to the point where the people are in dire straits', and you just take away the personal injuries suffered by the people of Liming?"

"Qi Bosheng, go and see the corpses of the great Wei soldiers piled up in the hills at the foot of Lancheng, go to the old house of the He family, stand in front of the graves of General He and the countless red-winged soldiers who died in battle, and repeat what you just said Say it again! Now Jizhou and Yanzhou are in danger, and the people of Liming are terrified every day, all because of the 'friends' you call."

Ji Qing looked indifferent, but every word he uttered turned into a knife in his heart.He Li had left countless scars on his body over the years, and these scars were also left on Ji Qing's heart.

The sky was bright, Ji Qing tilted his head, saw the rising sun in the sky, and exhaled lightly.

Ji Qing said no more, turned around and entered the Panlong Hall.
