Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

You can't just watch the Supreme Emperor die in despair like this, and remain indifferent!

At least……

He has to say goodbye to the old man, the Supreme Emperor, and pay his respects to the old man again, so he can take a look at the old man, right?

For Li Qiu's mood and thoughts at the moment, Luo Kexin and Wu Sui can deeply understand.

They also know better that once Li Qiu really insists on doing something, especially when doing what Li Qiu thinks is right and should be done.

Others simply cannot persuade them.

As for the imperial guards outside the Furong Garden, they were all decorations.

With Li Qiu's high prestige in the army and the rather ambiguous attitude of the court.

If Li Qiu really wanted to go out, no one would dare to stop him.

But just as Li Qiu took the reins of the red rabbit horse and was about to mount, Ma Zhou suddenly trotted out of the crowd.

He rushed directly to Li Qiu and snatched the horse's reins.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Especially Li Qiu stared directly and asked, "Ma Zhou!"

"what are you doing?!"

Ma Zhou also raised his head to look at Li Qiu at this time, and said very seriously and resolutely: "My lord, at this moment, you can't go anywhere."

Li Qiu has always been impatient, but he tried his best to be patient with Ma Zhou, and said with a frown, "I'm going to see the Supreme Emperor for the last time."

"Don't stop me."

Originally, Li Qiu thought that Ma Zhou would retreat, but in fact, Ma Zhou's eyes became more determined.

"My lord, you and the entire Furong Garden are currently in a very disadvantageous situation."

"Even if you stay in the Hibiscus Garden obediently, those enemies will not let you go."

"It's just that they are temporarily silent because of other obstacles."

"But if you leave Furong Garden at this time and openly disobey His Majesty's prohibition, it will directly prove that His Majesty's confinement and detention of you, the prince, is just enough."

"At that time, it will naturally lead to violent backlash and protests from all the elites."

"And all the efforts of His Majesty and those who want to protect you have been in vain."

"Also, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the two princesses and the new young master."

"Right now, you are in danger of protecting yourself, my lord, so stop acting on your temper."

Li Qiu naturally knew that Ma Zhou's advice was right.

But no matter what, he couldn't just watch the Supreme Emperor die like this.

No matter what, I have to see his old man for the last time.

Therefore, Li Qiu still grabbed the horse's rein quite forcefully, "I've made up my mind, don't stop me!"

At this moment, Li Qiu's patience has reached its limit.

It may also be because he has been in the army for a long time. Generally, after he said these words, no one would dare to stop him.

His strength is so great, Ma Zhou, a literati, naturally cannot compete with him.

However, when Li Qiu was about to mount his horse again, a scene happened suddenly, which shocked everyone present.

Hearing a clang, Ma Zhou directly pulled out the saber from the waist of the guard beside him.

In an instant, the tip of the sword turned around and touched his heart.

Seeing this, Luo Kexin, Wu Jue and others hurriedly shouted, "Ma Zhou!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't be stupid!"

And Li Qiu also turned around at this moment, frowning tightly.

At this time, Ma Zhou breathed out a sigh of relief, and then said decisively: "Your Majesty's martial arts skills are world-class, so of course we can't stop him."

"But I, Ma Zhou, have received the kindness of the prince, so I can't just watch the prince go to die."

"This Hibiscus Garden, which I regard as my home, will be destroyed."

"Although I, Ma Zhou, don't have the ability to give up in the spring and autumn, I can still make the determination to die for my confidant."

"Although I, Ma Zhou, am just a small businessman, I still have a bit of pride in my chest."

"Since I can't stop the prince, then I have to take a step first to show my will with death!"

Chapter 582

Hearing Ma Zhou's stern words and his firm eyes, Li Qiu frowned.

But at the next moment, Li Qiu still had a flash of tenacity in his eyes, and he stepped on the horse directly.

The thing he dislikes the most in his life is being threatened by others.

Even if this person is Ma Zhou, whom he trusts and values ​​the most.

Even if it was Ma Zhou's real intention, it was indeed for his own good.

At the same time, at the bottom of Li Qiu's heart at this moment, he still looks at this matter from the eyes and angles of the people of the future.

But he forgot that the current world is not a future generation where the world is cold, people's hearts are not ancient, and their hearts are blinded by profit.

But more than [-] years ago, the Tang Dynasty took loyalty and morality as its yardstick.

So just when Li Qiu got on the horse, and before he was urged to leave, he heard a burst of exclamations and screams from behind.

Li Qiu turned his head in surprise and saw that the sword in Ma Zhou's hand had already sunk into his chest not a short distance away.

The blood stained a large area of ​​clothes red almost instantly.

Seeing this scene, Li Qiu immediately jumped off the horse.

With one lunge, he rushed to Ma Zhou's approach, and firmly grasped the hilt in his hand.

Don't let him have any further actions.

At the same time, Li Qiu didn't dare to draw his sword, for fear of causing more damage.

"Ma Zhou!"

"You bastard!"

"Don't die?! Are you crazy?!"

"Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao, come and save him!"

At this moment, Ma Zhou's body began to tremble slightly.

Facing Li Qiu's anxious scolding, he showed a slight smile.

"My lord, you have been kind to me, Ma Zhou."

"It also gave me the opportunity to directly recommend myself to His Majesty, which no one else in the world can get."

"Although I still haven't been able to fulfill my original wish to enter the temple."

"But I think that I, Ma Zhou, have also played chess with His Majesty and drank tea with several prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

"It can be regarded as infinite scenery."

"Scholar, die for the confidant."

"My lord, even if I, Ma Zhou, die, I can't watch you break into that desperate situation from which you can never turn back."

"This Da'an Palace, at least for now, I can't go there."

"Also, my lord, you must not let down the good intentions of the great emperor..."

Because the scene was too depressing and tense, more and more blood spilled from Ma Zhou's wound.

Li Qiu was also extremely anxious, and it happened that Sun Simiao rushed over with Meng Shen at a trot.

Li Qiu couldn't hear Ma Zhou's last words clearly.

About the final sustenance of the Supreme Emperor for Li Qiu's good intentions and the way of life.

Even Li Shimin was in the middle of the game, but he couldn't see it.

But Ma Zhou, who has been closely following Li Qiu and knows the relationship between the Furong Garden and the Supreme Emperor, can see clearly.

Why did the good little princes and princesses suddenly start reading and reading?

Especially from Sun Simiao, he learned that the Supreme Emperor had long harbored death intentions.

This is even more inexplicable.

It can only be explained that the class of the little princes and princesses, and the subsequent throwing of the puppies in the Da'an Palace were all intentional by the Supreme Emperor.

To make the matter so big is also the good intentions of the Supreme Emperor towards Li Qiu.

With this incident, as well as his own death, the anger of Li Shimin and the entire imperial power was completely ignited.

Deduct a crime as big as the sky that they can't afford for the rich and noble families who stole the dog.

Want to live, or beg for mercy?

Then they can only choose to make concessions on the matter of Li Qiu and Qinghe Cui.

Before, the reason why these gentry dared to put such pressure on Li Shimin and the court.

To put it bluntly, it is because they occupy the rationale.

And if the Supreme Emperor was mad at death because of them stealing the dog, they would absolutely not be able to bear the guilt.

Li Shimin is a strong, powerful emperor.

It is the core of the generals and the group of famous generals who are famous in history are firmly in their hands.

Moreover, their aristocratic families are not completely monolithic. The Guanlong noble group is firmly in the hands of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

So this time the Supreme Emperor specially set up a game for Li Qiu, which was extremely subtle.

If Li Qiu ran over at this moment, it would be self-defeating, and the sacrifice of the Supreme Emperor would be greatly reduced.

At this time, under the operation of Sun Simiao and others, the sword on Ma Zhou's chest was pulled out.

Then came a series of operations such as hemostasis and medication.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Ma Zhou was finally out of danger.

However, due to excessive blood loss, he was carried to the room and passed out.

Served and guarded by special personnel.

According to Sun Simiao, this time Ma Zhou is destined to be great.

If the tip of the sword is two fingers further forward, he will surely die, even if the gods come to the world, they will not be able to save him.

Seeing such an incident happen, Li Qiu sighed deeply, naturally he couldn't go to Da'an Palace to visit the Supreme Emperor.

……

On the other side, in Dali Temple.

Dai Zhou personally led the people through a day and night trial, and finally found the three people who stole the dog.

After prying open their mouths, they found out the whereabouts of the two pups.

It was done by people from a wealthy family, the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Afterwards, Dai Zhou hurried into the palace to ask for instructions, and asked Li Shimin if he wanted to search further, or even arrest him?

Regarding this, Li Shimin's eyes were fierce, and he issued an imperial decree personally, and sent Dai Zhou an imperial army.

Led by Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, they went to Wang's house to search the house and get people!

Immediately, the forbidden army in the palace surrounded Wang's huge mansion in Chang'an with a murderous aura.

Without saying a word, he forced open the door of the Wang family's mansion, and started searching when he entered.

Seeing this kind of formation, the members of the Wang family were naturally startled, frightened, and angry.
