I'm playing tricks in Daqin

It was an extraordinary time, and it was dealt with extremely. Even if the killing was too heavy and harmed the harmony of the world, Su Yuejiao also admitted that for the sake of the Li family and Wei'er, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life.

When Empress Su went on a killing spree, the imperial capital Chang'an, the imperial palace.

Civil and military officials gathered outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation anxiously, looking eagerly at the gate of the palace guarded by soldiers, with complex expressions in their eyes.

The king's condition became more and more serious, and he hadn't gone to court for more than ten days. According to the bribed eunuch, the king had coughed up blood several times.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are very normal things. When the monarch dies, the crown prince will naturally inherit the throne, but what makes people feel strange is that the king of Qin is already dying of illness, and he has not yet sent people to Xinyang County to recall His Highness the crown prince. This is unreasonable and intriguing. .

Once the emperor and the courtiers, these civil servants and military officials are all worried about their own future, and they are inevitably uneasy in their hearts, guessing what the King of Qin means. If you stand on the wrong team, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes. Who dares to be sloppy?

These civil servants and military generals were divided into several groups, including the veteran faction headed by Che Guangxian, the chief minister of the cabinet, the young and strong faction of the prince, and the royalist party composed of some veterans and young and strong factions, and some remained neutral. They didn't mix, Chang'an Jingzhao Yin Xie Xin stood in the corner, surrounded by a few civil servants and military generals, they didn't make a sound, just stood quietly in the corner, almost no one noticed their existence, let alone Noticed that Ding Xi, the leader of the black guards, has never shown up.

"Doctor Wang, how is the king?"

The sharp-eyed ministers saw the imperial doctor Wang coming out, immediately surrounded him, and asked anxiously. They were not only concerned about King Qin's dragon body, but also their own black hat.

"Ugh……"

Doctor Wang sighed, stretched out three fingers to compare, and then walked away staggeringly. The king fell ill, but they had been waiting on the sidelines and couldn't take a good rest. Now they can't hold on anymore. As if drunk, he wobbled and couldn't stand still.

"Eunuch Gong, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Gong Gonggong, the head of the internal servant who served the king, came out, all the ministers gathered around, asking questions in a hurry, and caring about the health of the king's dragon body.

"Your Majesty will be fine. The Empress has already left the palace to invite the old gods, and it will come in three to five days."

Gong Gonggong said sharply, he tried his best to put on a calm demeanor, but the smile on his face was too far-fetched.

All civil and military officials knew well that they just wanted to confirm Wang Taiyi's words, and now it is clear that the king may really not be able to last for three days.

It was only now that they realized that during the ten days since the king fell ill, it seemed that he hadn't heard anything from Empress Su. It turned out that he had gone out of the palace to find the old god.

But, then again, the old fairy didn't leave early or late, but suddenly left without anyone noticing the day before the king fell ill. Could this be... This is more easy to imagine, Gu Although Taoist priest is usually crazy, and even got the nickname of crazy Taoist, but no one really regards him as a lunatic, he is an omnipotent old god, he must have figured out that the king's life span is up, so he ran away quietly Lu, otherwise, Empress Su is his favorite disciple, so why not help save the king?

Then, it can be concluded that the king is really dead and has to prepare for the funeral.

Although the king was coughing up blood, he was still unconscious several times, but there were times when he was sober, why didn't he order to recall His Royal Highness the crown prince? Could it be that he wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish a new crown prince?

Reminiscent of the series of events that have happened recently, the impeachment of His Highness the Crown Prince is like snowflakes. Well, this may still be huge. Then, they have to reconsider the establishment of a new leader. The most likely candidate for the new crown prince is the Crown Princess. Concubine Rong's parent-child is only a few years old... While everyone was thinking wildly, Gong Gonggong finally gave them the final answer. According to the king's order, Zhao Yuan, the crown prince in Xinyang County, returned quickly.

In other words, the king finally changed his mind, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still succeeded to the throne.

This news made many ministers heave a sigh of relief. His Highness the Crown Prince's ability is obvious to all. Although sometimes he acts a little foolishly, it is the best and most sensible choice for Daqin to take over from him.

Some people are happy, while others are worried. For example, the chief minister of the cabinet, Che Guangxian and other ministers, recently impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but they were in the lead. Are you crying?

Just wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to settle the score after the autumn. If you commit a crime, you will die, so you can't blame others.

All the ministers had their own thoughts, but no one noticed that Jing Zhaoyin Xie Xin and several generals in charge of the military had quietly left.

Not long after, more than a dozen pigeons flew from several houses in Chang'an City. They flew further and further away, and soon disappeared into the blue sky.

In an ordinary residential house, Ding Xi, the leader of the guards in black, stood in the courtyard, looked up at the pigeons that circled a few times in the sky, and then flew to the distance. The movie is full of cold and murderous intentions, and the good show has finally begun.

Qingchuan County City, General Mansion.

Sun Ja hesitated for a while before crumpling the ball of paper in his hand, and issued an order weakly. The Qinglong Legion under his command was stationed in the area of ​​Gucheng at the foot of Panlong Mountain. Under coercion, he reluctantly ordered the 10 elite soldiers under his command to leave the station and enter Qingchuan County in the name of military exercises.

Now, he received another instruction from that party, asking him to lead a large army to advance towards the imperial capital, Chang'an, in order to contain the Central Army under Xia Houheng's command.

"Congratulations Commander, Congratulations Commander."

Ke Chengnan on the side congratulated with a smile. With Sun Jaw's Azure Dragon Army at the helm, Xia Houheng's Central Army would not dare to march into Chang'an. My lord can calmly control the situation in Chang'an. Great credit, he can be a member of the second and third ranks in the few yards. Of course, Sun Jai is the only handsome talent in the veteran faction who holds military power, and Conglong Zhigong is also indispensable.

At least for the time being, when the lord is firmly established, what will happen to Sun Jaw, he has already guessed in his heart, the gentle method is to go up and down secretly, depriving the military power, and the drastic one may be snapped off.

Chapter 5 and Three Changes in Chang'an

Xie Xin, together with Tang Tian and Sun Jai, was called Jiayue's Three Generals, which shows that he is capable. There are even rumors that among the three generals, he is the most capable, and he is the leader of the three generals.

Xie Xin is capable, has a deep family of integrity, and is even more ambitious. Li Gang, the master of Jiayue, is capable, but his only son, Li Wei, is a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink, and play. If Li Gang passed away, the great foundation of the Li family would surely be defeated by Li Wei. It was precisely after seeing this that he desperately pursued Li Gang's eldest daughter, Li Bi, won her heart, and became Li Gang's love interest. Take the dragon to be a son-in-law.

If something happened to Li Wei who took over the Li family's foundation after Li Gang died, he would become one of the legal heirs to inherit the Li family's foundation. , will be eaten to death by him, and Li's century-old foundation will also fall into his hands.

Xie Xin's wishful thinking, from the moment he pursued Li Bi, he was already secretly preparing to seize Li's foundation.

But after Li Wei suffered a serious illness, his whole person suddenly changed, and he became extremely awesome, which made Xie Xin almost desperate.

However, he is the kind of person who does not give up easily. Since he has spent a lot of energy and prepared for so long, he will take a gamble no matter what.

The Li family annexed Hongfeng and Qingchuan provinces and counties, and successfully entered all the battles in Chang'an. Xie Xin has been sitting on the bench, acting as a passer-by, and Sun Ja and Tang Tianhe have taken all the credit, which made him very dissatisfied , and even give birth to murderous intent.

In Xie Xin's eyes, the Li family's century-old foundation is already in his pocket, and he will never allow anyone to get involved. Li Wei not only rose strongly, but was even recognized by the military, occupying a place in the army, and has a good reputation. The influence, and this influence is getting bigger and bigger, which gave him a strong sense of power.

However, before he could plan to get rid of Li Wei, the only stumbling block, the scheming Li Gang had already sensed something and promoted him to Chang'an Jingzhaoyin. Although he was promoted several levels at once, he also deprived him of his military power in disguise , made him more and more angry, hated everyone in the Li family, and wanted to get rid of them quickly, but he knew that Li Gang was wary of him, so he had to swallow his anger and behave like a man with his tail between his legs.

Fortunately, he has been in charge of the army for many years, and there are still many loyal subordinates under him. Some things can be handed over to these subordinates. Little by little secretly develop his power.

Afterwards, the Cangyun Continent was ravaged by successive years of war. The Great Qin first annexed the Wei Empire, and then destroyed the Tang Empire. The territory expanded too quickly, and then ascended the throne and became the king of the Great Qin Empire. There were so many things that people could not breathe. They are all invested in the development of Daqin, and Xie Xin is very tolerant and good at disguising, so he gradually ignored Xie Xin's attention, and Xie Xin took advantage of this opportunity to speed up the cultivation of his power and use the elders The friction between the faction and the young faction has successfully pulled some ministers from the veteran faction, and it was his instigation that Che Guangxian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and others impeached Li Wei.

Of course, he would not come forward for this kind of thing, but instigated the ministers of the elder faction who had been bribed by him to instigate, increasing the friction between the elder faction and the young faction, and deepening the opposition between the two factions.

Things went smoothly, but Xie Xin still overlooked some things. Li Gang is a hero in the world. He not only has a scheming heart, but also has a vicious vision and a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people. the taste of.

The most crucial point, he forgot about Ding Xi, the leader of the black guards.

Ding Xi is in charge of the black-clothed guards. He holds the power of life and death. He is ruthless and ruthless. He is called Ding Yanwang. In this case, almost everyone has forgotten about him, and even forgot that there is such a special agency as the Black Guard.

As an outsider, Ding Xi has been observing in secret. Like Li Gang, he also smells something unusual. Secret agents in black are everywhere. No matter how cautious Xie Xin acts, he will inevitably make small mistakes. He made a mistake, and the secret agent in black who was lurking inadvertently discovered his change and reported it to Ding Xi.

Ding Xi sent someone to watch secretly for a while, and from the comprehensive analysis of the collected information, he felt that something was wrong, and the secret performance in the palace also allowed Li Gang to confirm his suspicion and take various precautions in advance.

However, the actions of Wei Laosi and others failed, and the Black Clothes Guard lost a lot, but Li Gang and Ding Xi were taken aback. They obviously underestimated Xie Xin's strength and had to redeploy.

Li Gang originally planned to secretly collect Xie Xin's criminal evidence first, and then look for an opportunity to catch them all at once. He didn't want him to suffer from the wind and cold. Xie Xin's illness created an opportunity to induce him to start early.

Xie Xin thought he had a plan, so he sent out a signal to do something, released the pigeons, and told the men lurking outside Chang'an City to use their private soldiers to move closer to the imperial capital Chang'an.

As the person in charge of Tianshui County, Mr. Qiao naturally also received his letter from Feige. His mission is to join forces with Zhang Tianyi's troops in Huang County, and cooperate with Sun Jai's army to contain Xia Houheng's central army. At any cost, Xia Houheng's Central Army must be blocked outside Chang'an City.

However, as soon as Mr. Qiao received the secret order, he presented it to Queen Su.

After an urgent discussion, Empress Su personally led [-] private soldiers mixed with black-clothed guards and special night guards to march towards Chang'an.

As the principal and key contact person of Tianshui County, Mr. Qiao naturally followed Queen Su. In order to show his heart, this fellow took the initiative to swallow a poison made by the poisonous lady Zhao Fengqin. Without the antidote, he would die. very painful.

At this time, the city of Chang'an was still bustling and bustling as usual, and only a few well-informed people felt the undercurrent surging behind the calm.

The bedridden king of Qin was dying, with only three days to live. The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty were in a state of anxiety, and they gathered together one by one, worrying about their future.

Of course, the young and strong faction is the prince's line, and these young civil servants and generals also gathered together to discuss how to make the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the crown prince a good one.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, apart from the cabinet and ministers of various ministries, Xie Xin was the only one. His wife, Li Bi, was the eldest princess. Naturally, she had to accompany her father at such a time. in the palace.

Although staying in the heavily guarded palace, Xie Xin's connection with the outside world is still unimpeded. He has been secretly arranging for so many years. Naturally, there are eyeliners in the palace. Some are old eunuchs at the level of chief and deputy chief. His people, with the secret help of these people, he knows more about the affairs of the palace than anyone else.

When Li Yuanchang, the deputy chief of the internal guard, passed by just now, he made a gesture for him. Even if this gesture was seen by others, it would not make sense. Only he knew what it meant, that is, the ministries had arrived at the designated positions awaiting his order.

Xie Xin had a murderous smile on his face, it was time to act.

However, before he gave the signal to act, Li Yuanchang, who had just entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came out in a hurry, ignored everyone's strange gazes, pulled Xie Xin aside, and said a few words in a low voice.

"The king has passed away, and the imperial edict is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, guarded by more than a dozen inner palace guards."

Xie Xin couldn't help frowning, this old ghost didn't die sooner or later, but he died when he was about to activate, isn't this a scam?In the blink of an eye, he had already made a decision in his mind. It doesn't matter if Li Gang is dead. The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is still there. Who dares to doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict?

Even if someone doubts it, so what, strength determines everything, he has already controlled the situation, and then waited patiently for Li Wei, who hurried back from Xinyang Province, to crash into the net he laid, and then, the whole Great Qin was his!

Chapter 5 Chapter 2 Chang'an Change [-]

After Xie Xin gave the order to act, under the guidance of Li Yuanchang, the deputy head of the inner guard, he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation through the side door, surrounded by dozens of master guards wearing the armor of inner palace soldiers.

These guards followed him from birth to death in the early years, and there was absolutely no problem in their loyalty. With the help of the insiders, they sneaked into the palace, put on the armor of the inner palace soldiers, and waited for his orders.

If there is a large imperial palace, there are Habayashi guards and cavalry guards on the outer layer, and there are soldiers in the inner palace, there are as many as ten thousand people, it is impossible for Xie Xin to buy them all, most of them are loyal to Li, If you want to buy him, you can't buy him. Although there is a shortage of manpower, as long as you plan well and replace him with people during shifts, the problem will naturally be solved.

The news of the king's death is only known to a few people. The Queen Su is not here, and all the concubines are panicked. Even if His Royal Highness receives the letter from the flying pigeon and rushes back, it will take at least a month. The father-in-law had no choice but to make his own decision, suppress the news for the time being, and wait for Queen Su to return to the palace or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return before making a decision.

This proposal was in the hands of Li Yuanchang, the deputy chief executive, and while the chief executive was very busy, he led Xie Xin and his party into the Hall of Mental Cultivation quietly.

Xie Xin was not interested in Li Gang's corpse, so he asked Li Yuanchang to take him straight to the imperial study in the side hall, and get the imperial edict and Chuanguo Yuxi first.

Outside the imperial study room, there were more than a dozen armored soldiers guarding the palace. When they saw Li Yuanchang, Xie Xin and others approaching, some soldiers stepped forward to stop them, but Li Yuanchang reprimanded them all. He came to fetch the imperial edict under the orders of the king. .

A group of soldiers in the inner palace were dizzy from being scolded, and before they could understand, Xie Xin's bodyguards suddenly raised their eyebrows, disarmed them, made faint holes, and carried them into a corner of the study room to pile them up.

Xie Xin glanced at the edict, then tore it to pieces, and wrote two edicts himself, one was the edict to abolish the crown prince Li Wei, and the other was the edict for him to inherit the throne. With the seal, the two fake edicts become genuine edicts.

"I congratulate the king, and congratulate the king."

Li Yuanchang's fierce flattery from time to time made Xie Xin feel light all over his body, as if he had grown wings and was about to fly.

For this moment, he endured for a long time and prepared for a long time. It can be said that he spent most of his life's hard work. Seeing that success is in sight, he is inevitably a little complacent. The edict is already in hand. Next, he only needs to control the situation in Chang'an And you're done.

In Chang'an City, he also had a few ambush soldiers. These ambush soldiers were all private soldiers of the powerful family who were bought by him or were extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Li family and his son. There are also some mid-level and high-level officers who were bought by him. These mid-level officers only need to suppress the soldiers under them, and there will be no accidents.

The only thing he was worried about was the [-] Central Army Corps controlled by Xia Houheng. Fortunately, Sun Jai's Qinglong Army Corps and tens of thousands of local private soldiers were at the helm. That's the real job done.

Wait until he completely controls the situation, and then carry out a merciless purge of all the forces of the Li family to consolidate his throne.

"Hey, did you hear anything?"

Li Yuantang, who was having a sweet dream, seemed to have heard something, and frowned and asked the guards beside Xie Xin.

Several guards listened intently, and the faint roar and killing sound came from outside, which made their expressions change, and they looked at Xie Xin uneasily.

"what happened?"

The complacent Xie Xin couldn't help but change his face. He also heard the faint roar of killing coming from outside the palace. According to the action plan, it shouldn't be like this. Could it be that something unexpected happened?

A group of guards looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they had Xie Xin's trust, they didn't know the whole specific action steps, so they could only stare wide-eyed with a dazed and uneasy expression.

"Hey……"

Xie Xin suddenly covered his abdomen with his hands, and let out a painful moan. This abdominal pain never came sooner or later, but it happened suddenly at such a critical time, it was really fatal.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Li Yuanchang, who is good at flattering, wanted to step forward to help, but he seemed to see a ghost in the daytime, and he backed away in a panic, his face full of fear.

Not only he reacted like this, but even all the guards reacted in the same way, retreating in a panic, with horrified expressions on their faces, as if Xie Xin was a man-eating demon, hiding away one by one.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xie Xin frowned and asked, he covered his abdomen with one hand and propped it on the desk with the other. There was a faint pain in his abdomen. Although it was not strong, it made him feel very uncomfortable. The strength of his whole body seemed to be drained by the faint pain. Almost unable to support the weight of the whole body.

"Big... big king... you... your face..."

Li Yuanchang, who retreated far away in the corner, pointed at him, his voice trembling with extreme fear, and the expression on his face became pale and bloodless due to shock and fear.

"my face?"

Xie Xin frowned, why do these guys see his expression as if he saw a ghost?

He instinctively raised his hand to touch his face, the face seemed numb and had no sense of touch, but his fingers seemed to touch something sticky.

Uh, runny nose?

Feeling a slight itching from his nostrils, and the feeling of liquid flowing out, he wiped it with his sleeve, and he was suddenly frightened, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground.

There was a large amount of liquid on the sleeve of his official robe, but it was not snot, but red with black, black with blue mucus. It is no wonder that Li Yuanchang and the guards had such frightened expressions, it was too weird and scary .

"I... what's the matter?"

Xie Xin endured the cramping pain in his stomach, and struggled desperately to stand up, but the increasingly clear pain seemed to take all the strength out of his whole body, and his whole body was limp without a trace of strength.

"Big... Great King... What's wrong with you?"

Li Yuanchang and a group of guards hid far away, with expressions of horror and fear on their faces. Such a strange situation was too frightening, completely beyond the scope of their knowledge.

"He got lovesickness Gu."

A cold, emotionless female voice rang out from outside the imperial study, and a beautiful woman in palace attire walked in slowly, her pretty face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

"Mistress..."

Several guards instinctively bowed and saluted. The person who came was the Eldest Princess Li Bi, the wife of Xie Xin's famous matchmaker and their mistress.

However, how could the mistress appear here? "You... you bitch..."

Xie Xin, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, pointed at Li Bi, gnashing his teeth and cursing. He just now suddenly remembered that Li Bi had mentioned Lovesickness Gu while drinking a glass of wine on the bridal night of the wedding, saying that if one day, he If he betrayed his heart or did something that endangered the Li family, the poisonous Gu in his body would definitely break out, and he would suffer the most painful torture in the world. At that time, he was eager to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony, and he just took it as a joke and didn't take it to heart.

Besides, even if it is true, how can there be such a mysterious and weird poisonous Gu in the world, you should be a god?Looking back now, it seems that this evil, weird and insidious poisonous Gu really exists? "In this world, men and women fall in love, pledge each other, love each other, love each other..."
