Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining had no expression on her face, but there was a sneer in her heart. She stepped forward and said, "Return to the Lord, the minister's wife..."

The words were not finished, but they were interrupted by a high-pitched male voice full of anger.

I saw a middle-aged supervisor angrily stepped forward and said, "Holy, the minister has something to say!"

Li Qitian seemed very surprised, frowning displeased: "Gu Aiqing, I'm questioning, is it wrong for you to interrupt Prince Zhongshun so suddenly?"

"Holy, the minister knows that the minister is too rude to do this. But the minister is a straightforward man. Seeing someone who wants to confuse the saint with rhetoric, but still has to show a virtuous and virtuous face, the minister has to speak. ."

Gu Yushi gave a salute and continued: "Please listen to the minister. If what the minister said is wrong, it is not true, the minister will leave it to the Lord!"

Li Qitian frowned, as if caught in a dilemma.Seeing Gu Yushi's sincere sincerity, he had to smile and said, "Finally, you can talk about it first."

"Yes!" Gu Yushi saluted with excitement, and then said indignantly: "Holy, the minister is the Yushi, where his duties are, he must participate in the ten crimes of Prince Zhongshun!

"The murder of innocent people without mercy is one sin;

"The second crime is to be arrogant and humiliate old officials in Beiji;

"The three crimes of greed for money and food, causing misunderstanding between the emperor and his ministers;

"Forcibly robbing courtiers and ignoring the will of the sage, there are four crimes;

"Going out of Beijing without decree and intending to swallow the treasure alone has five sins;

"Corruption and disaster silver, regardless of the life and death of the people, have six crimes;

"Covetous power, jealous of the talents of colleagues, seven crimes;

"Forming a party for private purposes, privately raising government soldiers, with unruly intentions, has eight crimes;

"Not filial piety, disrespect to aunt, and vain to be the son of man, nine sins;

"It is a heinous crime to resist the edict, disrespect the emperor, and defect to another country!

"The crimes of such arrogant, rebellious people, not mentioning unfilial piety, unfaithfulness, and unrighteousness are so numerous that they are too numerous to record! The minister urges the Holy Spirit to punish you!

"The minister agrees!"

"Return to the sage, the minister also seconded!"

"Prince Zhongshun is in vain as a minister, please be strict with the sage, and follow the rule of the court!"

...

As the ancient Yushi's voice fell, more than a dozen people immediately stood up and echoed in a loud voice. Amidst the enthusiasm, people said that Pang Xiao was a mountain bandit and road tyrant who burned, killed, looted, and committed all evil.

Li Qitian sat in the first place, frowning his eyebrows all the time, as if he could not stand the blow but was forced to be calm.

But Pang Xiao, Qin Yining, Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Xiuyuan didn't say a word, and didn't justify themselves.

Many people of the noble school saw the doorway and guessed that the biggest reason for the saint's opening of today's battle was that Pang Xiaogong was the master.They are the same as Pang Xiao. They both followed Li Qitian to fight the world in exchange for today's achievements. Pang Xiao was the benchmark for their row. If he fell, they would probably be next.

Many of the lords stood up and fought hard on the spot.And these people have their own good officials and colleagues from the same faction, and they all take advantage of the trend and stand up to argue with the censors.

Seeing Xungui joined the battle circle, Li Qitian's subordinates joined in.

Seeing that the other party grew stronger, someone who Pang Xiao knew came out to interject.

For a time, the scene was chaotic like a vegetable market. These adults quarreled, and they were a bit more sturdy than the market fanatics. The quotations were even more aggressive and persuasive than swearing.

Li Qitian's brows frowned and tightened.He couldn't think that there were still so many people willing to speak for Pang Xiao.It seems that Pang Xiao's position in the minds of courtiers and the people is no longer what he understood.

Li Qitian couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he did it early. If Pang Xiao was given more time to let him grow and develop, he might be more stable then, and it would be even more difficult to shake his foundation.

The quarrel between the two parties is in full swing, and both sides are fighting hard for reasons. This is the first time that such a large-scale debate has occurred at the Great Court since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Yining lowered his head to listen, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Gu Yushi made the first rafter today, he must have listened to Li Qitian's instructions.I believe that Li Qitian must have an afterthought.

Although Pang Xiao is now a bachelor of Wuyingdian, he is a military commander and has a lot of power in the army.Even among the people among the people, most of them know the reputation of "God of War".So to deal with Pang Xiao, how could Li Qitian not arrange soldiers and horses?

Nowadays, there are Gyeonggiwei Daying, Shenjiying and Sanqianying near the capital.Another thing worth mentioning is the Tiger Ben Army stationed in Tuntian in the suburbs of Beijing.

Qin Yining's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but use the corner of his eye to look at the ministers who came to the Palace of Political Affairs and Peace today.During the Dachao meeting, all Beijing officials of rank 4 and above can participate.

But among these people, there is no Ji Zeyu!

Qin Yining's pupils shrank abruptly, but his face remained calm, reminding herself not to panic, not to let anyone catch the handle, and take a closer look, she really found that Ji Zeyu was not here today.

Qin Yining's heart was cold.

If Ji Zeyu is the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, and cooperates with Gyeonggi Guards, Sanqianying and Shenjiying to encircle Pangxiao, only relying on Pangxiao's more than fifty Jinghu Guards, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

As for the city defense army of the Five-City Soldier Ma Si, she also found that these people were moving more frequently than before when she entered the city today.

It seems that Li Qitian has made perfect preparations today and intends to take Pang Xiao in one fell swoop, and those who are related to Pang Xiao...

Thinking of this, Qin Yining suddenly took a deep breath and forced herself to stop thinking about it.

First of all, Pang Xiao is not a brainless and reckless person. Since he dared to take her to this "Hongmen Banquet" today, he must have made enough preparations.He is not the kind of person who will slap you on the left cheek with one's hand, and will get to get another slap on the right cheek. Besides, he is not the kind of person who can ignore his family.

Secondly, if Li Qitian wants to get things done today, I am afraid he will have to pass the public opinion of the people.As long as Haosheng grasps the direction of the wind, there is no room for manipulation.

Pang Xiao was actually very worried about Qin Yining's condition, for fear that she would have fetal gas in panic and anxiety.But after observing her performance, I saw that her face was as usual, and she didn't pretend to be calm, but first panicked and then slowly thought about it. He was very applauded in his heart for being able to get such a general wife. , Really is his luck.

At this time, the two rooms were arguing to the point of fierce debate. Suddenly, many neutral ministers discovered that the chief eunuch Li Guanwen next to Sheng Shang hurriedly walked to Li Qitian's side from the side with his head bowed, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious. Li Guanwen didn't show up when he was in court today. He suddenly came here now, what happened.

Li Qitian took advantage of the noise of the people below and asked Li Guanwen in a low voice: "Why didn't Ji Lan bring anyone here?"

Li Guanwen's face was almost wrinkled into bitter gourd, with an expression of constipation, he hesitated and said in a low voice: "Holy Master, Ji Junma said, that there is an abnormal movement in the Tiger Cardinal Army barracks. He can't leave, but rather sit in the barracks."

Hearing this, Li Qitian almost squeezed a string of topaz beads that he was playing with with force.

He didn't show the slightest abnormality, and whispered: "What's the matter! Didn't you see the Tiger Ben Army last time! Ji Zeyu's control of the Tiger Ben Army is not lost to Pang Xiao, how come there are changes at the critical moment? Is there a real change, or is he unwilling to come and help me?"

Li Guanwen was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.

Li Qitian glanced at the people in Chaozhong and found that many people had already begun to pay attention to his direction, and quickly reduced their expressions. They still put on the expressions that had been bothering for the court, and gritted their teeth and said: "The current situation will go into chaos at any time. What should I do if it’s really safe then? Sit down, I need him to protect him from coming, who is he going to sit down for!"

Li Guanwen was trained like a quail. He wanted to retreat to the side to be a transparent person, and had to bring Ji Zeyu's words to him, so he could only say, "Ji Junma said, if something goes wrong, Ji Junma will fight this one. Life must also protect the integrity of the Holy Spirit."

"This life?" Li Qitian almost scolded his mother.

When Ji Zeyu came to contribute his life, he might have been killed by the traitor Pang Xiao.

Li Qitian was very angry. The deployed officer participated in the performance of Pang Xiao, but there was a problem with the generals. You must know that Pang Xiao has a very deep roots in the people and his position in the eyes of the people is very detached. Success is almost impossible.

If he couldn't kill one blow this time and gave him a chance to breathe, things in the future would become more difficult and more dangerous.

Li Qitian whispered and fiercely ordered Li Guanwen: "Go and remind me again!"

"Zhuzhi." Li Guanwen wiped off his sweat, but didn't dare to behave, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the courtiers' disputes became more and more chaotic. The impeachment and the explanation for Pang Xian's behavior were still in dispute. The two parties even started to attack each other, and many people's deep hidden bottoms were almost shaking. Out.

Originally, Li Qitian was just pretending to be worried, but in fact, listening to the words of these people admiringly, only felt that the words of those people were said to the heart, which made him particularly comfortable.

But now Li Qitian is really worried.

If Pang Xiao was in a hurry, he would really go the other way. With his martial arts, I am afraid that only Ji Zeyu in the capital can have an enemy.Pang Xiao's shot was quick and ruthless, and if he finally tore his face and let him get close, Li Qitian was afraid that he would be killed before Ji Zeyu came to the rescue.

At this moment, from the side, another young man dressed as a small inner supervisor walked up.

When Li Qitian's pupils shrank, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

This young man was not an ordinary inmate, but a spy that he kept.Specially do some spying, assassination and so on for him.Usually they communicated secretly, but on an occasion like this at the Great Court meeting today, he changed into the clothes of an inner prisoner and came here in an upright manner.It was hard for Li Qitian not to doubt whether something happened outside.

The young man arrived, saluted, and leaned close to Li Qitian to say a few words.On the spot, Li Qitian dropped the yellow jade beads in his hands in shock.
