I just like the Prime Minister

The most annoying thing in summer is the chirping of cicadas.

The garden of King Qi’s Mansion is full of birds, brocades and cicadas. Behind the lush flowers and leaves, there is a faint fragrance and a different kind of confusion. The sky is surprisingly good. There are neither dark clouds that destroy the city nor sudden wind and rain. There are no storms.

Jiang Xizhu looked at Li Chengzuo's peach blossom eyes with a romantic smile, but felt depressed for no reason, as if there was something that Li Chengzuo didn't say, but he forgot to pay attention.

Li Chengzuo just looked at him like this, as if advancing or retreating was up to him.

Jiang Xizhu naturally knew that he wanted to liquidate King Qi, and he always had to give King Qi a chance to speak up before the liquidation, but for some reason he couldn't calm down, and at this moment, someone behind the two of them chased him up.

Jiang Xizhu was disturbed by human voices, and the inexplicable upset found an outlet, but when he looked back, he saw that it was a shadow guard from Beijing.

Jingzhong can make the master of the moving shadow guard not to be the second choice, only Song Guifei is undoubtedly.

However, this matter is really superfluous—Pei Wenyuan dispatched troops out of the city, and asked him to send some news to be simple and clear. As for being unreliable, but Song Yingluo chose to abandon Pei Wenyuan, and it was a bit strange to send only such a person.

Jiang Xizhu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but the shadow guard finally found someone, as if he couldn't hold back the words that he had been holding back all the way: "Master, Lord Song ordered his subordinates to send a message, please take a look. "

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and presented it to Li Chengzuo over his head.

The shadow guard usually has a quiet temper, and it is rare to be so anxious. Li Chengzuo looked at him calmly, thinking that Song Yingluo's way of teaching people has declined recently, don't be really caught The poison has ruined her mind, so she still has to ask Jing Qing to find her medicine.

The emperor calmly made up a concubine, and then he took the wax-sealed letter in the hands of the shadow guard, glanced at it, and his whole body became sharp, and passed the letter in front of Jiang Xizhu, turned his head and left.

Jiang Xizhu took the letter without knowing why, and only quickly scanned it. Immediately, he didn't care about the strangeness of the shadow guard, and there was a "buzz" in his head. Seeing that Li Chengzuo was already a hundred meters away, he turned to chase after him. past.

The two hurried, leaving the shadow guard in place.

Seeing the two walking away, the shadow guard stood up expressionlessly, pulled the exclusive robe of the shadow guard with one hand, and threw it under the shadowy tree in Prince Qi's mansion.He jumped up and down a few times, and he was already on the high wall of Prince Qi's mansion. He looked back at the city in the shape of a king and eight, and smiled silently. At this moment, a short wind sound suddenly flashed in his ears!His pupils constricted suddenly, and he looked towards the wind that pierced through the air, but it was too late - a metal steel arrow was coming towards him, and before he could react, it went straight through his throat.

The figure fell from the high wall and fell into the most desolate dust outside Yecheng.

The sun was shining brightly, and no one knew that such a shadow guard had come to the backyard of Prince Qi's Mansion, and no one knew what the emperor and the prime minister had seen in the seemingly peaceful Southern Qi Palace in Ye City.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Jiang Xizhu caught up with Li Chengzuo, he instinctively wanted to stop him, but the thousands of romance and affection in Li Chengzuo's eyes suddenly turned into blades.

Jiang Xizhu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly recalled the contents of the letter.

What was said in the letter is indeed an old story, but this old fact has caused a bit of a stir in the world - this is the cause of death of the Empress Yuan.

The cause of death announced by the Empress Yuan has always been dystocia. Since she left, the first emperor has been very sad, making her son the crown prince and her younger sister the successor, and even bypassing the concubine Lin who is the most beloved in the harem... For more than 20 years No one has ever had any doubts about the death of Empress Yuan, and Jiang Xizhu only found out today that there may be other secrets behind the conclusion of the coffin.

Li Chengzuo was unmoved by Jiang Xizhu's obstruction, and didn't even say a word, but Jiang Xizhu blocked his way more resolutely.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Xizhu frowned and called out, "Calm down."

Li Chengzuo didn't know whether he was calling back the soul wandering in the rivers and lakes, or pretending to be calm, the expression on his face slowed down, showing a smile that was stiffer than crying: "This matter... I know it, don't worry."

Jiang Xizhu was overwhelmed by his "don't worry" words. If he hadn't been around him these days, he would have known him better than when he was pretending to be a fool and a fool, and he might have been fooled by him.

Today's prime minister is no longer the solid eyed person he was back then, and he is no longer so easy to deceive.

"Impossible." Jiang Xizhu endured it, swallowed back the "nonsense" that came to his mouth, adjusted his tone, and said, "Even if you want to investigate this matter, you are not in a hurry at this moment, in the palace." Some are old files that can be retrieved, and some in the palace are old people around the Empress Yuan, it’s really not good, the Empress Dowager is still alive, you still can’t find out the clues of the year? The matter of King Qi has another conclusion, there is no need to get involved in this matter.”

Li Chengzuo obviously didn't listen to his heart, and he answered absently, but he didn't stop on his feet. In a few steps, he had arrived in front of the house where King Qi was imprisoned. , stretched out his hand, pushed the door open and went in.

Jiang Xizhu couldn't stop him, and his heart was beating like a drum, so he had to follow in together.

Jiang Xizhu originally thought that Li Chengzuo had no sense of restraint under his rage, but he didn't want to. As soon as he entered the room where King Qi was imprisoned, he became strangely quiet.

Just as Jiang Xizhu was about to sigh secretly, Li Chengzuo still has a city mansion after all, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne securely.

However, His Majesty the Emperor is a real rotten potato. Before the secret praise in the prime minister's heart fell, Li Chengzuo said impatiently in his ear: "Your mother and concubine will not die temporarily because of the empress dowager's cooking. Zai, as for you, if you can’t be killed, you will be imprisoned, and if there are few pleaders, you will let bloodletting together. Okay, needless to say, I don’t care about other things. I just want to hear you tell an old story decades ago. "

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

I'm afraid the stick is not as straightforward as His Majesty the Emperor.

However, before Jiang Xizhu could wink at Li Chengzuo, King Qi who was sitting in the room laughed first.

The house where King Qi was temporarily imprisoned here is not considered magnificent, but it has a kind of leisurely elegance. However, it is said that King Qi chose it himself when he was sober for a short time—later, according to Xu Sanniang, it was the concubine of one of his miscarriages who died here. It is said that this concubine was very favored before her death, so King Qi still loved this room even after her death. Li Chengzuo thought at the time that his big brother with a green forehead and calm composure was inexplicably very fond of it.

However, now that I'm really in this room, I don't know if it's because someone has died in this room, or because the backyard is full of foliage in summer, but the room looks cool.

King Qi showed a long, ghostly smile in this cool room. Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu then determined the location of King Qi from the darkness and looked over together.

King Qi was sitting on a chair in the house, his hands and feet were in shackles, and he looked a bit embarrassed because he had been in a coma for several days and hadn't tidied up his appearance. The King Qi that Jiang Xizhu knew was the domineering prince who hadn't come to the fief more than ten years ago. See you now, I found that the eldest prince in my memory, who even the former prince Li Chengzuo had to avoid the edge, has blurred his facial features, and he can't piece together the impression of that year.

Strange to say, Jiang Xizhu clearly remembers Li Chengzuo's appearance ten years ago, and Qi Wang, who is six or seven points similar to him, has long been classified as dispensable in the old days.

The King Qi in front of him was so strange that he couldn't be more strange, as if he was just a passerby passing by.

Even though King Qi described it as being in a state of embarrassment, the pampering and privilege of many years cannot be changed in just three days of imprisonment. Even though he is now a prisoner, his demeanor is still not like that of ordinary people, but his expression is gloomy. Hearing Li Chengzuo's serial questions, She smiled: "I haven't seen the second emperor for many years... so you know."

The number of times Li Chengzuo has been discussed as senior and younger is really limited. When he was young, he should be called "Prince" no matter how high or low. Only King Qi dared to mention it. However, now hearing the old things of King Qi again, Li Chengzuo's anger was much less than when he was young, and he also retorted a bit.

"Tsk, brother, you are joking. I blame my father for not working hard, so I was born a little later." Li Chengzuo also picked a chair and sat down, "I heard from the national teacher that people who have been asleep for a long time tend to hurt their heads. It doesn't matter if Brother Huang can't remember it, they say it's rare and confused, let you share this rare thing, just enjoy it."

When King Qi heard the last word, he looked at Li Chengzuo's calm smile, was taken aback for a moment, and smiled at random: "You know that the one who is confused is not his brother, but someone else."

Li Chengzuo didn't answer, just glanced at him.

King Qi chuckled twice: "Old things...don't you really want to know? For example, why did I hand the poisonous thing to the prince to eat, but I was still able to stay out of it; and for example, why did my mother and concubine Being arrogant and domineering in the harem can also be tolerated by the father; another example, why is the empress back then and the current queen mother the sister of the Yuan empress, but she has not been favored for many years... It is very clear, the father is not only guilty of the Yuan empress, but also for himself. Wang's mother and concubine feel guilty, and as for me...it's not the first time I've carried a pot full of sewage for poisonous dim sum."

Jiang Xizhu was beside Li Chengzuo, and suddenly grabbed his arm.

He thought that Li Chengzuo would react agitatedly, just as he did just now, but Li Chengzuo didn't respond, just like what King Qi said had nothing to do with him.

Thirty years ago, the treacherous palace of clouds and waves was like a boundless land full of wind and rain under a cloudy sky. Contaminated with the salty smell of thunder.

There was a man who wanted to get rid of the queen for some purpose, so he borrowed a reasonable hand. He felt guilty and refused to obliterate the existence of that hand, so he simply used this hand as a test to keep his ulterior motives. His son, he cultivated an opponent on his way to the sky.

Jiang Xizhu listened to this, although there was no abnormal expression on his face, he was secretly surprised in his heart. He had explored many times why Li Chengzuo would be different from what he is now, and it was only now that he found out that if Li Chengzuo hadn't been like this The brush is whitewashing the peace, and I am afraid that the world has long since changed, and there will be no real peace.

King Qi looked at Jiang Xizhu's movements, then at Li Chengzuo, who was as immobile as a mountain, and smiled maliciously: "So...why do you think he hates you so much."

Jiang Xizhu turned his gaze away from Li Chengzuo, and said coldly, "Who are you talking about 'he'?"

However, King Qi squinted his eyes to recognize Jiang Xizhu in the house as if he had just seen Jiang Xizhu in the room just now, as if he finally remembered his identity, smiled contemptuously, and was very dismissive: "Who do you think is Who is it, second brother, do you know that you are very out of date... In his eyes, you are too threatening, and in the eyes of the father, you are too lacking in vigor. You will never be the most suitable one. With luck, everything will be your turn."

Li Chengzuo is quite interested in the words "untimely". He has never said a word since just now, but when he heard these words, he was willing to argue with him for the first time: "Since the big brother said it, let's talk about it carefully." Speaking of this luck... more than 30 years ago, just a few years after his father's ascension to the throne, Wei Wang was instigated by someone and rebelled... Dayu in those years was indeed devastated. The timing of the rebellion was too coincidental. At that time, the father had just finished preparing for the war in the northwest, and the military expenditures for the two military operations were undoubtedly a big hit. The treasury was quickly stretched. At that time, only the Duke of Qin, a family in Beijing, understood the righteousness and took 500 million from the ancestral property. Two silver coins made up for the vacancy in military expenses for him, and my mother's queen became the queen directly because of this."

When Li Chengzuo said this, he looked at King Qi: "At that time, Elder Lin Ge was still an official worshiping the fourth rank. Even if he came from the same family, he couldn't support the financial resources of this half of the country."

King Qi nodded with a sneer: "Yes, it was also the financial power of the Duke of Qin's government that ruined the life of the Empress Yuan."

Li Chengzuo raised his eyebrows and made an expression of wanting to hear more: "Oh?"

"The 500 million taels of silver is not an ancestral property at all, but was sent to Beijing before King Wei raised his troops. He asked Qin Guogong to go out of the mountain and join the major families for the bribe money. After weighing it up, the old Qin Guogong felt that he would take out the money and exchange it for the queen. The position is more cost-effective, so there is such a saying... If the king of Wei knew that the money used by the court to suppress him was taken out of his own pocket, I am afraid that he will die in peace."

Li Chengzuo's palms tightened, as if he suddenly felt a faint loss of control, as if his previous speculation was not only true, but this truth eventually turned to an aspect that he couldn't control at all.

"When the Empress Yuan was pregnant with you, the emperor happened to know about it, and realized that even if the empress was chosen so deeply, the prince would not be the puppet of the Qin government to control Dayu, so... you knew."

Jiang Xizhu frowned: "This is not normal. If this is the case, why did the first emperor appoint the queen mother as his successor?"

King Qi never refused to come, and he answered questions with a good attitude: "Where do you think his guilt came from, because he found out that he had moved the wrong person... When the Empress Yuan was still there, someone handed over the seal to the In her hands, she is unwilling to hand it over to Duke Qin's mansion no matter what... The rift between her and her mother's family has long existed, and the Queen Mother and her mother are compatriots, only the Queen Mother really stands on the same side as the Yuan Queen."

"After the death of the Empress Yuan, there was no trace of the seal. I even sent people to find the tomb of the Empress Yuan. That thing was not included in the burial, and I don't know where it is now."

King Qi shrugged his shoulders very "sincerely" when he said this: "I heard that when you took down my man, you said that the owner of that thing was the second prince of Khitan... This is indeed not impossible. I don't know, your nominal grandmother Ji is not the biological daughter of the dilapidated Ji family. The eldest daughter of the Ji family has long since died. The family has added enough care, and even married into the Duke of Qin's mansion as the daughter of Ji's parents, she has ulterior motives."

When Li Chengzuo heard that it seemed as if he had finally connected the whole incident, his hands tightened, and he blurted out: "What?!"

King Qi seemed very satisfied with Li Chengzuo's reaction, his eyes lit up, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, the iron chain rattled with the shaking of his body, he laughed enough, his eyes gradually darkened, and he raised his head out of breath , looking straight at Li Chengzuo.

"I had something else I wanted to tell you, but since I know about this kind of thing, how can I not share it with you?"

Li Chengzuo frowned instinctively.

Jiang Xizhu was beside him, his heart skipped a beat, the ominous premonition and the annoyance that was aroused by the weather or the cicadas suddenly swept over him.

This is not right!

Jiang Xizhu suddenly thought that the process of taking down King Qi went very smoothly... from the pigeon that was accidentally intercepted by Yeluzhen, to the taking down of the Eight Great King Kong, and then to the "shadow guard" who disturbed Li Chengzuo's mind just now. "Secret reports...and then what King Qi said...

In order to delay the opportunity to fight to the death with King Qi, he exhausted all his plans, but they were all useless at the moment of closing the door - all went smoothly as if someone was planning, not even from this moment, from Song Yingluo being poisoned, When Li Chengzuo went out of the palace, he encountered Xu Sanniang, and even the last king of Qi... It seemed that someone had set up a game. The person who started the game was not the king of Qi, and the king of Qi could only be regarded as a bait. Their goal was Li Chengzuo!

Jiang Xizhu's heart was beating like thunder, and he felt bad at all, but his mind was spinning fast, and his hands and feet were always half a beat slower than that of his mind. When he realized that King Qi stood up, he turned around and pulled Li Chengzuo to run out It was too late.

King Qi had shackles on his hands and feet, but he pulled out a torch from nowhere and fanned it against the wind, immediately illuminating the dark wall behind him.

The surface of the wall is flat, but at some point, it seems that someone has lifted the surface of the paper, revealing a thrilling inside.

Jiang Xizhu is no stranger to this thing. In the past few days, he and Li Chengzuo have been facing this thing almost day and night—it is gunpowder made of Wujin associated mine!

Li Chengzuo also finally knew the reason why his big brother chose to be imprisoned in this room where someone died, and also knew the reason why this room was gloomy even in midsummer. All longing and nostalgia are bullshit!In order to keep the house dry and cool, no candles have been lit for many years, and only King Qi can think of a way to hide the truth by using the name of the dead.

These were all kinds of thoughts that flashed through their minds when they ran away in a hurry, but at that time, they didn't even know what they were thinking.

King Qi seemed to be the only person in the room who wasn't panicking. From his childhood resentment to his current death, he seemed to have thought through the not-so-long decades in just a moment.

Sometimes people are like this, even if there is no need to fight in the eyes of others, they still have an unyielding heart.The blood of the Li family was fully displayed in King Qi. He knew that there was nothing enviable about Li Chengzuo's position as emperor, but if he couldn't ask for it, it would be a lingering struggle after all.

If it's not mine, let's bury it together.

King Qi watched them turn and leave, and he didn't appear to be in a hurry. He smiled and raised his fire, but it was only for a moment.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pei Wenyuan is doing his duty to "rob the house" for the emperor.

There was no way, the emperor cried poor, ransacked the house and ransacked it to his own brother, just in time for the fat and water not to flow into the fields of outsiders, filling his own pockets.Young General Pei painstakingly packed all the rare and rare toys in Prince Qi's mansion one by one. When he raised his eyes, he saw a glazed ornament shining brightly in the sun. Feeling novelty for a moment, he reached out to touch it.

Unexpectedly, before the hand touched the novelty, the thing tilted in front of the major general's eyes, fell to the ground, and shattered into scum all over the floor with a "snap".

No way, Pei Wenyuan thought staggeringly, this kind of decoration is so chaste and strong, and she refuses to touch it, it is worse than a big girl crying, making trouble and hanging herself.

A loud noise in the distance blew away the messy thoughts in General Shao General Pei's mind. Only then did he realize that he was also shaking out of order with the ground, and he immediately supported the table to stabilize his figure.

Pei Wenyuan had fought many wars, and his first reaction was that King Qi had found reinforcements to fight back to Yecheng. His first reaction was to call for a fight, but before he opened his mouth to call for someone, he saw soldiers running into the house in panic.

"It's not good, General!" The soldier trembled, "For some reason, the room where King Qi was held exploded. Now the fire is too big, brothers can't get close."

Pei Wenyuan frowned at that time. With such a big commotion, King Qi might also be killed in flames.

A dignified prince, even if he committed treason, he had to go back to Beijing to be convicted and go through trial before being sentenced. Now he was killed in the fief before the verdict was reached, leaving this unsolved case, the history books may criticize him, let alone how to explain it to the royal family. is a trouble.

However, before Pei Wenyuan could worry about this trouble, the panicked voice of the soldier turned into tears: "... General, our people reported that when the explosion occurred, the imperial envoy and the 'entourage of the imperial envoy'... were also in the room. Now, I don’t know Where to go."

"what?!"

Pei Wenyuan was completely taken aback.

The author has something to say: Author: I really want to happily type "The emperor is dead, the prime minister died in love, the king of Qi is with them hehehe 3, p" and announce the end of the whole drama...

My Emperor: ... Crowdfunding to dig a black gold mine to give you a 998 heavenly gift package.no thanks.

Author: Fireworks and firecrackers are banned here after Chinese New Year, look at the smog now!Have a bit of public morality!

My Emperor: ... It was you who lit the fire, and you who fired the cannon. I'm still missing. Do you want to be reported and fined by the City Appearance Commission? !

Author: Well, well... I'll take you from the sky tomorrow.

In the end, the author succumbed to the evil forces of "fine" and planned to release the couple tomorrow...
