Thinking

Jisi and his team stayed in Luyang City for a day with the sound of horseshoes, and buried Rui Chu and Pei Fengjin together.

On the back mountain of Fanghua Temple, Qisi left a blank stone stele standing, worshiped, and stood in front of the tomb without saying anything, but everyone present knew that Qisi would come back, and carefully engraved the names of his parents here .

On this trip, people from the Northern Sect of Lie Mountain came to meet them, and no one in the Jin Dynasty found out what they were doing in Luyang City.

Qi Si looked at Yuan Fu, stepped forward to hug him gently, leaned on his shoulder, and let himself release a little bit of fatigue for a while: "I'm going back to court."

Yuan Feng stroked his back lightly, his voice was low, but gave him infinite strength: "No one can stop you."

Qisi stood up, looked at Yuan Feng, the smoke and water in Luyang City were blue, the alleys were peaceful, and the blood of countless corpses had been stepped on along the way, and the cold light reflected in his armor.

"Return to court."

Qi Si got on his horse and headed straight to Jiangliang, the capital of the emperor, without looking back. Luyang City and Fanghua Temple fell behind.

Since the Northern Army of the Jin Kingdom and the Prince's army under Yuan Bing's command encircled and forced the Great Liang Army to surrender, this tragic war led by the Eldest Prince has come to an end.

On the battlefield, the Eldest Prince's power was gone, and in the Great Liang Dynasty, Yuan Feng's various arrangements before his departure immediately began to operate.

In just a few days, the arrangements made by Yuan Feng had the greatest effect. First, King Daliang was sober and repentant, and successively handed over orders to Asgu and the sixth prince to come to the frontier battlefield to recall the eldest prince, and ordered him to withdraw his troops to discuss peace and save the prince. situation.

The second is that after the sixth prince took over Wang Junyi's affairs, the eldest prince was escorted back to Linhuang, the capital of the king.

In the Great Liang Dynasty, the opinions of all the people were like mountains and seas, the eldest prince was deposed, the sixth prince was made heir, and the King of Great Liang was forced to take the throne!

The day before Qisi and his party arrived at Jiangliang City, the sixth prince had already handed over the affairs of rectifying the frontier barracks to Asgu, and returned to the court to prepare for his ascension.

With an order, the situation in Great Liang changed suddenly, and the eldest prince fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, never to be able to stand up again.

When Qi Si, Yuan Feng, Di Youliang and others arrived outside Jiangliang City, the murderous aura still seemed to linger on them.

The city guard saw the token and immediately let it go. The horseshoes hardly stopped, and they galloped through the main street of the imperial capital all the way.

They wore black armor and swords, and the saddle bridles of their war horses were deeply stained with dried blood. A gust of wind came from where they passed, which almost broke the soft bones of the wealthy and imperial capital of the water town.

"Prince Huai and Prince Hongjira of Great Liang have an audience!—"

Qisi was dressed in iron armor, striding all the way into the palace, with a cold expression on his face, he casually removed the Poli sword and threw it to the guards outside the hall, and crossed the threshold of the hall.

Yuan Feng never changed into a formal attire, dark blue brocade gown with arrow sleeves, handsome and noble, walking in the gorgeous Jiangnan palace without a trace of disobedience.

The two entered the hall side by side, against the twilight morning light, the aura was awe-inspiring, a large beam of pale golden sunlight passed through the door of the hall, casting a layer of light around them, as if a god descended.

It was the court meeting in the hall, and all the officials in their fine clothes stood neatly in the hall, lined up on both sides, and they all looked sideways at them.

Emperor Hongjia sat on a high throne at the other end of the hall.

The footsteps of Qi Si and Yuan Feng could be clearly heard, followed by Di Youliang and several generals.

Qisi stepped through the aisle of the hall step by step, passed by the ministers, without squinting, with a firm and indifferent expression.Yuan Feng walked unhurriedly, and didn't care about other people and things here.

"His Majesty."

Qi Si and the generals saluted as generals, Yuan Feng put his arm on his chest and nodded slightly.

Qi Si didn't address him as "Royal Father", he straightened up, the battle armor set off his slender figure, a modest gentleman, but his sharp edge was cold, making the palace attendants feel a strong sense of oppression, and it was almost impossible to recognize this man Gentle prince.

Emperor Hongjia raised his hand: "It is a miracle that this battle can be resolved quickly, and the loss is so small. It would not have been possible without the contributions of all the ministers in the army and Duke Huai, as well as Prince Hongji's help in seeking the overall situation."

Emperor Hongjia was obviously satisfied with the battle in the northern border, but his mood was not so happy.

Qi Si glanced at Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng understood what he meant, took a step forward, he was imposing, smiled and said: "I have imprisoned the eldest prince in the court, and the military power has been taken back, and my majesty has also handed over the power of peace negotiation to this king. .”

Emperor Hongjia naturally knew about the changes in Great Liang long ago, and the current new king is the younger brother of Yuan Bing's mother's relatives, he nodded: "The war will end soon, the prince will help to quell this matter, it will be of merit to the people of the world, let you talk about it , it would be great, but there is no rush for the details, just discuss it slowly."

Emperor Hongjia looked at Qi Si again, with a complicated expression on his face.

Originally, he wanted to go to the Northern Territory as Prince Huai, it was just a formality to boost the morale of the army, but now that he has made great contributions through life and death, it is really difficult for this fake prince to be granted a title.

What's more, Emperor Hongjia knew that this was Rui Chu's son.

"Duke Huai really surprised Gu this time. He thought he was a gentle and refined child, but he didn't expect to behave like this."

Qi Si lowered his head slightly, the expression on Junxiu's face could not be seen clearly, and he said calmly: "This battle was not done by me alone, thousands of soldiers bathed in blood on the battlefield, only then can the territory be stable."

Emperor Hongjia smiled: "You have to be humble, all the officers and men will be rewarded, Duke Huai personally got into danger, the credit is seen by everyone, and the battle report is clearly written, so there is no need to be overly modest."

Qi Si nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Emperor Hongjia looked down at Qi Si and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Everyone in the hall looked at Qisi.

Qi Si said lightly: "I wonder if I can meet King Jia."

A while ago, King Jia had been grounded because of his involvement in the assassination of Qi Si and Yu Ke.When everyone heard what Qi Si said, there was a buzz of discussion.

Emperor Hongjia was silent, and asked: "Lao Qi is still grounded, what do you see him doing?"

Qi Si raised his hand and saluted: "I want to see you now."

Emperor Hongjia couldn't refute Qisi at this time, why is he not clear about the northern border?So he had no choice but to order someone to bring King Jia into the palace.

Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and while they were waiting for King Jia, Yuan Feng calmly talked briefly with Emperor Hongjia about the peace negotiation. s frame.

When King Jia entered the hall, he was still dressed in fine clothes, but he had lost a lot of weight, and his expression was far from the usual enthusiasm, a bit sinister and a bit frantic.

Qi Si remained cold and silent until King Jia entered the palace, he glanced back, turned back again, and said to Emperor Hongjia: "Since the man has come, I will speak bluntly, and I hope His Majesty will not blame you."

Emperor Hongjia's face was not very good-looking, so he could only say: "But it's okay." His sharp eyes still carried a chill.

Qi Si didn't care about it at all, every word was loud, and the discussion in the hall was stopped as soon as he opened his mouth.

"In the battle of Duanyan Pass in the northern border, I led [-] troops into the pass to lure the enemy. I agreed with Lu Yingqiu that he would lead a large army to help and outflank the pass. However, a soldier was killed on the way and the reinforcements were delayed. If not for my king's orders, Now that the body is shrouded in horse leather, the eldest prince of Great Liang has probably brought his army into the northern border."

King Jia's gait was unsteady, he walked halfway, and after listening to Qi Si's words, he stood still in the middle of the aisle.

Emperor Hongjia's eyes were gloomy. Of course, this matter was mentioned in the battle report, but he did not tell the officials.

Qi Si looked back at King Jia: "The private soldiers you raise are used to harm the soldiers in the northern border?"

King Jia's expression became agitated all of a sudden, but he couldn't say anything. He felt the pressure from Qi Si's body that was different from the past, and the sharp gaze seemed to be questioning him for thousands of innocent souls. After a big defeat, he was even more powerless to resist at this moment.

The courtiers seem to have exploded, private soldiers?Private soldiers are evidence of treason, and if they are sent to stop reinforcements, it will be a heinous crime!

Looking at King Jia's distorted face constantly twitching, Qi Si said in a deep voice, "Corrupting bribes to support private soldiers and colluding with Da Liang's subjects are stealing the country!"

He walked towards King Jia step by step, the armor on his body creaked softly, and the hall was silenced again by his voice.

Qi Si stared at King Jia, and his voice was icy: "Sending private soldiers to stop the reinforcements is to destroy the country!"

King Jia stood at the same spot, he was defeated, and now he had nowhere to escape. Seeing Qi Si approaching, his expression became almost crazy, and when he was cornered, he rushed forward.

Qi Si didn't dodge at all, he raised his hand to grab King Jia's arm, his inner force surged, restraining the meridians all over King Jia's body, and the originally strong King Jia couldn't use any tricks immediately.

Qi Si pulled his arm, raised his foot and kicked, King Jia "thumped" and knelt in the center of the hall.

Qi Si stood condescendingly in front of him, his voice seemed to come from the Shura field: "What you have done, brother, you can plead guilty!"

The phrase "brother" has no emotion.

Where is this his brother, this is the one crawling back from hell to seek his revenge!King Jia finally broke down, struggled to pull out his hand, and even knelt and climbed up to the imperial steps: "Father! Slander, it's all slander! It's all frame-up!"

Qi Si didn't stop him, and let him crawl under his feet to intercede with Emperor Hongjia.

Di Youliang and a group of generals stepped forward to testify: "What Duke Huai said is true, the battle in the northern border is almost doomed."

Yuan Feng also opened his mouth and said: "This battle is really thrilling. General Lu's reinforcements came late, and this king has no life here."

The ministers in the palace were discussing endlessly, and Qisi turned to look at this scene, only waiting for Emperor Hongjia's answer.

King An and Yu Ke stepped forward, both shocked and distressed: "Why is Fifth Brother here, is he disregarding the people of the world?"

"Your Majesty, this matter should not be underestimated, it must be strictly investigated!" the courtier said.

"There is such a thing!"

Emperor Hongjia favored King Jia's son, but he couldn't go beyond the National Fortune Sheji to favor him. Finally, he was extremely disappointed and waved his hand: "Take him down for interrogation."

King Jia shook his head violently and shouted, looking like a lunatic on the street, weeping: "Father! A son's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

He struggled not to let the guards take him away, turned his head and pointed at Qi Si and cursed: "Evil intentions! What are you!"

Qi Si glanced at him, without mercy, and said indifferently: "I, like you, are His Majesty's son."

After some sarcasm, King Jia almost vomited blood, he couldn't choose what to say, and what he said was hard to hear, so he was surrounded by guards and took him down.

Emperor Hongjia put his arms on the imperial case, looked down at the chaos in the hall, and said nothing.

Qi Si turned around and returned to the imperial steps. He looked at Yuan Feng, who smiled at him with gentle and firm eyes, reinjecting strength into his exhausted soul.

Qi Si breathed quietly for a moment, then looked up at Emperor Hongjia, and knelt down on one knee: "King Jia's treason is one of them, and there is another matter, please make your Majesty's decision."
