Return of the Swallow

Li Qitian opened his eyes angrily, "It's Zhou Lian again! It's Zhou Lian again!! Both Shuncheon Mansion and Gyeonggi Guardian can't eat rice! The capital is so big, but you just can't catch a young man! live!!"

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, and said in one accord: "The Holy Spirit, calm down."

"A cliché! Every time something happens, it will only quell me!" Li Qitian's chest was violently ups and downs, a suffocating breath accumulated in his chest, unable to breathe, and unable to swallow, making his suffocated complexion purple.

The courtiers could feel the emperor's anger only by listening to Li Qitian's angry explosion, and they all knelt down and bowed in fright, not daring to speak.

And Xiong Jinshui, who was serving on Li Qitian's side, looked at the expression of the emperor, and almost fainted in shock.

If the emperor is really angry, can their close servants have a way to survive?

Xiong Jinshui prayed secretly in his heart, but don't have anything to make the emperor angry.But things backfired, and soon someone multiplied Zhou Lianxin's inscription.

Li Qitian just glanced at it and rubbed the essay into a mess.

"Assholes, assholes! A bunch of chaotic parties, lunatics!"

The writing of this essay is unqualified, and the whole piece is in the vernacular. At first glance, it strives to make all the people understand and understand, and once again exaggerated Pang Xiao’s achievements and benevolence, and the current sage is a nouveau riche. The rich landlord, when he becomes the emperor, he will do everything for himself, regardless of whether the people live or die.

At the end of the essay, he even dared to openly post, "Is it so faint, can it really bring blessings to the people of Da Zhou? It is better to restore the Beiji dynasty, establish Mingjun, and stabilize the world, which is the right way."

"This Zhou Lian is really shameless! How exactly the Northern Ji Dynasty was overthrown, he has forgotten! Restoring the Northern Ji, will let these people live better than under our rule? It's a rant, I don't know the so-called. !"

However, Li Qitian's rage could not stop Pang Xiao and his class from returning to the court.

In August, the hot weather could not stop Li Qitian's meaning.

"Holy Master, Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu commanded an army of 300,000. The city gates were wide open wherever they passed, and the 3,000 battalions were successfully incorporated. Now there are only three or four days away from the capital."

Li Qitian was angry and anxious, and his heart was filled with anger. He clutched his chest and asked: "How many soldiers and horses can the Ministry of War send to guard the city? Where is the household? Is there enough food?"

Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Defense, stepped forward and said with a heavy face: "Returning to the sage, because of the treacherous battle with Tatar, the army of King Qin near the capital and all over the country has returned to the commander of Pang Xiao, and now there are only Gyeonggi Guards and Five City Soldiers in Beijing. Ma Si, compared with the 300,000 soldiers who had just been bloodied back with Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu, is no different from a man's arm.

The minister of households Fang Shouru also said: "Holy, the treasury is empty. Even the officials in the DPRK have owed their salaries for more than a year. The taxes paid by the people have been increased to 80%. The people who had just been suppressed by local governments, Now I'm dissatisfied again, clamoring that the court is inhumane..."

Li Qitian gritted his teeth, his face was blue and white.

The imperial tomb was not completed.No treasure was found, no money, no one, even Diao Min was against him!

How to fight this battle?

"You mean there is no way?"

"Holy, the ministers are ignorant, there is really no way at this time."

"That's right, the sage, the ministers and others have racked their brains and tried their best, but the ministers can't make money or send troops and horses."

Li Qitian sneered: "Is it necessary to let me pull my neck and kill you!" Enduring the suffocation of his chest, his voice hoarsely said, "Don't think that you will be better off if Pang Xiao leads someone in! Once the emperor and the courtier, are you you? Want to stay out of things?"

In this sentence, everyone present was shocked physically and mentally.

They are really not sure that they can stay out of the matter.

Li Qitian said again: "No money? Yes, my internal money is empty, and the household department has no money, but I owe you a year of salary, and I haven't seen the ministers of the DPRK who are hungry and can't open the pot! You just run away from the house. How much tax and how many benefits have been collected, you don’t know when I am? Now that the national disaster is at the head, my money has been emptied, don’t you want to express it?"

The ministers looked at each other, and the emperor was afraid that he was crazy, and reached out to the ministers!

No one is willing to pay for it out of pocket. One is that she doesn’t want to bleed, and the other is that she doesn’t want to expose his wealth. The third is also the most important point. Everyone is lucky and feels that Prince Zhongshun is not a murderer of innocent people. If you really want to fight for that position, it will be difficult to get a reputation for killing innocent people. Wouldn't it be a tyrant again?Prince Zhongshun is not that stupid.

But these thoughts, everyone can only think about it in their hearts.

"If there can be peace talks, perhaps this danger can be solved." A courtier suggested.

"The minister seconded, the sage, the minister thought that he might start in two ways. On the one hand, he ordered someone to contact Dingguo in secret. After all, Dingguo was related to the sage, and the princess Anyang was the hand of the death of the Qin family. It can be done. If Dingguo can assassinate Pang Xiao, the matter is solvable. If Dingguo can't assassinate, even if Dingguo changes his mind, it will be a great help to the saint.

"On the other hand, we must also prepare with both hands. If Ding Guo Gong cannot be brought back to the court's camp, then we have to negotiate peace."

Li Qitian frowned and sneered: "The peace talks? Do you want me to beg them for mercy!"

"Holy Lord, keep the green hills, not afraid that there will be no firewood to burn. Only by keeping your life can you keep the fire, for the future."

Failure, really failed.

How could he let himself fall into such a situation?As an emperor, he is already the lord of the world, respected by all the people, but now he is in a position to negotiate with the anti-thief?

He is the emperor, why should he suffer such humiliation!

Li Qitian pointed his finger at the people in front of him, and sneered: "This is your way of loyalty and patriotism? You don't want to make money, and you don't want to touch your own roots, so let me beg for mercy from the anti-thief? If this spreads, how would you call me? How to face the people of the world!"

"Holy Lord, a man can bend and stretch, you are the king of a country, but you must not lose big because of small things."

"A good one can bend and stretch." Li Qitian sneered, and when he ordered the Han general to tie up the talking courtiers, "It will be handed over to the staff to conduct a thorough investigation to see how much of the grandson's family property is. How much is the ancestral property and how much is the result of bribery! See how you can bend and stretch!"

The guards in front of the hall and General Dahan quickly stepped into the hall immediately, dragging the courtier down.

"Holy, you can't do this! The minister is wronged!"

"The Holy Master calms down his anger, the Holy Master does not act appropriately..."

"Who has objections! They are all tied up!"

Li Qitian shouted violently, and the frightened courtiers all silenced.

On the same day, the family background of the grandson Sun was given a list to Li Qitian along with the evidence of accepting bribes and colluding with party members over the years.

The next day the order to ransack the house was issued, and the treasury was enriched.

In this way, the central government was even more turbulent, and even ministers who had ideas did not dare to speak to the emperor, lest they cause a murderous disaster.

"Princess, I have already inquired. The search in the city has gradually loosened in recent days. One is that there is no progress in the investigation, and the royal salary is not enough. The defending army is a little slack, and the other is that corrupt officials and soldiers are everywhere in the city. All of us have sharpened their heads and wanted to follow their homes to find oil and water. The weather is too hot on three occasions. In short, it is just right for us to take this opportunity to leave, and wait for something to happen."

Xie Yue smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will change my face, and there will be no problems."

Qin Yining nodded and smiled: "What the gentleman said. Fortunately, we are in the outer city. It's easier to go out. It's just two children and we need to be carried away separately." After all, the dragon and phoenix fetuses are in one place.

Xie Yue said: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements. The prince and his party will soon arrive in the capital if they want to come. If we go all the way to the north, we will definitely meet the prince."

"Yeah." Qin Yining sighed, eyes full of hope, "I can't wait anymore. In recent days, communication is inconvenient, and the prince is often on the way. Exchanging messages is even more inconvenient. How is it. ”

Xie Yue laughed and said, "Even so, you and the prince still have a tacit understanding. You have arranged a message here, and the prince knew that he had left for Beijing, and the army was all the way, and the towns along the way opened the gates without hurting one. With one soldier, the prestige is even better than before. The prince’s benevolence and righteousness, coupled with your momentum, now the prince’s voice is even higher than before.

Qin Yining said, "It's also thanks to the person above who is willing to put it back."

These days, Li Qitian was forced to do things very stupidly. Perhaps Li Qitian had grievances in his heart, and his anger that he could not vent finally found a way to vent.

However, in Qin Yining's view, his behavior is tantamount to self-destroying the Great Wall and discrediting monarchs and officials.

When the manpower was needed most, he was pushing people away from him one by one.

Perhaps this is exactly what Tianjizi's genius is. Although she died, all the following matters have been planned.

"Wang Concubine." Ji Yun stepped forward quickly, "The treasurer Zhong just sent a message, and the supplies and grain donated by the Stone Four have been transported to the prince's army with the treasurer Zhong Da. "

Xie Yue ran his beard and smiled and said, "This boss in autumn is also an interesting person."

Qiu Feishan is doing her best to restore Mu Jinghu's heart these days. Although Qin Yining knows that the donations she donated are for the long-term development of her Qiu family, she has indeed succeeded in making Mu Jinghu feel soft.

After all, Mu Jinghu has feelings for Qiu Feishan. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the two reconcile.This is what Qin Yining would like to see.After a friend, Qin Yining did not want to make Mu Jinghu's life unhappy because of her and Pang Xiao.

"Master. A few people came outside, wanting to spend the night on our Zhuangzi." Someone came in from the outer courtyard to spread the word.

Qin Yining was taken aback for a moment, "Our farm is so remote, there are still people coming to borrow?"

"Said it was passing through here, really nowhere to go."
