In just one stick of incense, the palace servants led a group of white-clothed men and women into the room.A guard walked two steps quickly, leaned close to Qi Lang's ear, and whispered: "My lord, I have checked everything. Although these people perform sword dances, their swords are not sharpened, so they can't hurt anyone."

Qi Lang was overjoyed, and waved his hand casually: "That's good, let's go down."

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman, Mrs. Gongsun, who swung her sword in all directions." Among the actors in white clothes who were ushered into the inner hall, a woman suddenly spoke. , The world has been low for a long time. Today, I feel that I don’t have the peerless demeanor of the Gongsun family, but I will definitely dance with all my strength to make the heroes of the world smile.”

The woman's voice was pleasant and her words were complete, which drew applause from all the halls.Qi Lang happily put down the wine glass in his hand, and went back to sit next to Feng Shuo, he drank a bit too much tonight, he felt dizzy at the moment.

Seeing that his face was flushed, Feng Shuo leaned over and asked, "Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Qi Lang glanced at him, and teased, "I just drank too much, why don't I drink, but I think today's wine is not good enough?"

"I'm not very good at drinking," Feng Shuo whispered back to him, with a gentle tone, "Why don't Brother Qi come and teach me how to drink after tonight."

Qi Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at him, his head became hot, he reached for the wine glass in front of him and brought it to his lips: "I don't need to teach this, come on, open your mouth."

Feng Shuo didn't dare to resist, he opened his mouth obediently and drank the wine in his hand, because he poured it too quickly, the wine even flowed down his lips.Feng Shuo blushed and coughed, Qi Lang dropped the cup in his hand, patted him on the back, and said with a smile, "Have you learned it now?"

Feng Shuo couldn't answer, he just supported his chest and panted, although everyone in the audience saw the actions of these two people, but no one knew the current situation in the court, no one dared to speak for a while.

During the stalemate, the music in the hall suddenly sounded. A man in white was holding a guqin in his arms, sitting on the ground, stroking the strings of the guqin with both hands.The first two sounds were just familiar, and after he played for a while, everyone suddenly realized what piece he was playing.

"When you're young, you like to drink, and when you get drunk, you chase the cunning deer..."

The woman in white who spoke just now was like everyone else, with a white veil covering her face, her expression could not be seen clearly, only her sincere voice could be heard.

"Passing through Zhongzhou with a cup of wine on a horse, and listening to the young man's melancholy chirping—" Qi Lang was agitated, half sober from the wine, turned around, pointed at the man playing the piano in the middle of the hall, his lips trembled twice, and he hadn't said anything yet. No matter what the words came, Wei Shuqing who was on the opposite side stood up with a "hoo".

Wei Shuqing threw the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and the wine bottle rolled down along the long steps in front of the throne, making a long series of crisp sounds, but this sound could not cover up Wei Shuqing's uncontrollable anger at the moment :"presumptuous!"

The woman still sang on her own, not caring about Wei Shuqing's fury.

"... How old is it, how old is it, I don't have the eternal hatred!"

There was also a strange sound outside the door. Qi Lang was in a daze, but a guard ran in in a panic, knelt down beside him, and kowtowed several times in panic.

"What's the matter?" Qi Lang growled distractedly.

"Young Master Changchang... Someone is setting off fireworks outside the palace gate!"

The men and women dancing swords suddenly stopped their movements, only the man playing the piano was still playing, and the tune of "Young Wine" lingered in the ears of everyone in Jinting Palace, it was indescribably weird.

The music and lyrics composed by the dead prince are like a piece of mourning in front of the second family who forced him to death.

In order to avoid flooding, Zhongyang strictly prohibits setting off fireworks on ordinary days. Only on festivals such as New Year's Eve, Shangyuan, and Mid-Autumn Festival, fireworks will be set off under the premise that the royal water dragon is ready.Fireworks are set off on ordinary days, unless there is something special, Qi Lang remembers, the last time he saw fireworks set off on ordinary days, it was at——

"Where are the guards, guards!" Wei Shuqing was trembling with anger, he took two steps down with trembling hands, and roared, "Come on, arrest them for me, and go to the palace gate to see who has such courage , dare to-"

Before he could finish speaking, the closed main entrance of Jinting Palace suddenly opened.

The Jinting Palace was built on the Chonghua Terrace. In order to avoid the wind, the main entrance was always closed, and only the side doors on both sides were left for people to enter and exit.But at this moment, the main door that was supposed to be closed was pushed back, as if in response, the side doors on both sides were also tightly closed from the outside in an instant, and he even heard the sound of locking the side doors.

The moonlight was like practice, and the silver-white moonlight shone on the young master's moon-white robe as he walked slowly, making him look like a fairy in a trance.

The nobles who didn't know what to do under the seat were a little bit disturbed. The young man in white took a few steps forward, raised his hand to signal them not to move around, and then said slowly: "Everyone, don't panic, just sit at ease—"

When the men and women in the hall saw him coming in, they held their own unsharp swords and silently guarded him.

The voice of the young man in white was nice, but a little cold. The fireworks exploded behind him in an extremely prosperous gesture, and then annihilated into silence with the closed door.

"Wei Gong, we meet again."

"You didn't die!!"

Qi Lang pointed at him and roared loudly.After that night, he searched behind Chunzhou Terrace for a long time, and found a piece of blood-stained skirt on the case, and found a white-clothed corpse in the river.

Although he didn't quite believe it, he relaxed his vigilance. If this person hadn't died, how could rumors spread among the market.If he told the whole world that he was dead, how could he launch an uprising?

Besides, the reason that made him lose his composure...was just that under the dim moonlight that day, he saw that the other party was wearing a bunch of red turquoise bracelets.

The crown prince was suffering from the poison of the sea and the moon. When the big mayfly was poisoned, he gave half of the poison to Wei Shuqing, and Wei Shuqing passed it on to him.He was very curious about this poison, and asked many people to ask, and he clearly understood that the name of Canghaiyuesheng came from Ziwei Xingdou, and the only thing that could restrain him was red turquoise.

Suspicion is but a moment.

"Where are the guards, where did the guards go!" Seeing him approaching, Wei Shuqing looked around twice, and shouted, "Guards! Guards!"

"Stop yelling, they won't come." Zhou Lanmu took two steps forward slowly, picked up a glass of wine from a nearby noble table, sniffed and said with a light smile, "Wei Gong and the eldest son are with the emperor After sitting in the Chaoming Palace for so long, and then holding such a grand banquet in the Jinting Palace—in order to celebrate with Duke Wei and the eldest son, all of his guards went back to drink."

He did not bring the bunch of red turquoise today.

Seeing his calmness, Qi Lang felt two fears in his heart, but he still tried to hold up his face and said, "Your Excellency, you speak so loudly..."

"Wei Gong, after Qin Mu's death, why didn't you choose some good confidantes to stay in the parrot guard, all of you were greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing money's eyes, really—" Zhou Lanmu threw away the cup in his hand, and said regretfully, "It's so boring."

After Qin Mu's death, Wei Shuqing didn't live in the palace for a long time, and he had a lot of affairs at hand, so he didn't pay much attention to the selection of guards, but Qi Lang didn't even want to do such a small matter. good.

Wei Shuqing stared at Zhou Lanmu's face, feeling a chill in his heart.

It seems that all his worst guesses during this period of time have come true - ever since the plague in Zhongyang was short of medicinal materials and he had to ask the nobles from all over the country to send medicinal materials to Beijing, some people have been eyeing this good opportunity.

If they have enough contacts, they can get through the nobles from all over the country and mix into the medicine delivery team, and if they have enough troops, they can transfer troops to Zhongyang without knowing it.It's not that he hasn't thought about such a possibility, but the chance of realizing it is too small. He also secretly investigated those Jianghu forces, and he was sure that they would not have such a force, but right now——

Cold sweat dripped down his cheeks, and he suddenly thought of a worse possibility.

Wei Shuqing's complexion changed drastically, he took a few steps back, and sat down beside Su Furong again.Others thought he was frightened, but only Su Furong noticed his eyes that kept turning to the right.

Could it be that there is a secret passage in the Golden Court Palace?

The man playing the qin finally played the last tune. He slowly took off the veil on his face, turned around holding the qin, and saluted Zhou Lanmu.Zhou Lanmu also gracefully returned his salute, and said with a smile: "Your Highness Ping, you have worked hard."

"It's just playing a tune, what's the hard work." Qi Chu brushed the broken hair by his ears, and said with a smirk, "It can't compare to Mr. Lan's hard work."

The two just exchanged a word, Wei Shuqing suddenly jumped up, twisted somewhere on his left hand, and then disappeared behind the dragon chair on his right under the eyes of everyone, Su Furong followed quickly jumped down.

Feng Shuo seemed to be petrified, it took him a long time to react, he climbed behind the dragon chair to look, but the entrance to the secret passage was sealed again, and he was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as Qi Chu took a step forward, Zhou Lanmu stopped him with his hand. He turned his head, and his slightly immature eyes showed a rare look of doubt: "Mr. Lan, don't you want to chase?"

Zhou Lanmu replied to him: "No rush."

Qi Lang was dumbfounded, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he stood there blankly, watched Zhou Lanmu flicking his sleeves in a calm manner, and said, "Everyone here today is not a high-ranking and important person. This is a great family, if you still want to keep the honor at hand, please listen to me—”

Zhou Lanmu's eyes flicked across the crowd who were in doubt, but none of them spoke, and finally fixed on Feng Shuo standing behind the dragon chair: "Qi Lang and Wei Xu planned to usurp the throne and control the government for four or five years. The crime cannot be punished. We are grateful for the kindness of the Feng Dynasty, and today we brought troops into the palace. To tell you the truth, the second family is absolutely powerless to resist. My only wish now is to be on the side of the Qing emperor, please Your Majesty to re-regency I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I don't want to stigmatize His Majesty..."

He didn't finish speaking, but since everyone present climbed to this position, all of them were human beings, and they understood what he meant in an instant.

Finally, one person spoke first: "I have been troubled by Qi and Wei's tyranny for a long time, today this... this hero did what I wanted to do for me, and I didn't have time to support him, how could he stop me!"

"Yeah yeah……"

There was a sound of echoing, except for a few important ministers who were close to Qi Lang and Wei Shuqing who had a gloomy face and said nothing, almost all the nobles from other places in Zhongyang joined in without hesitation.

"I just said that there will always be people who can't stand it. The second family is rampant, and it should have been killed long ago—"

"The Dingfeng Rebellion was the fault of their own doing, so it's not a loss to kill them!"

Qi Lang came back to his senses and finally realized what he was supposed to do. He quickly drew the sword at his waist, strode towards the dragon chair in two steps, and grabbed the little emperor who was standing beside the dragon chair. come over.

The shining sword rested between the necks, causing everyone to exclaim, Feng Shuo was so frightened that his face paled, and he could hardly stand still: "Help, save... save me!"

Qi Lang felt that his mind was in chaos, and his heart was about to jump out, but right now he didn't know what to do.Zhou Lanmu's eyes darkened, and he walked towards the two of them without hesitation: "Let him go."

"Don't come over!" Qi Lang yelled, his face was almost ferocious, "One more step, and I'll kill him!"

"Killing him is regicide. You have carried the world's infamy. If you want to stand up again, you will have no chance." Zhou Lanmu didn't panic, he didn't stop at every step, "Let him go."

"Let him go?" Due to being too nervous, Qi Lang felt that his hand holding the sword was shaking, "Let him go, I will die immediately, how can I wait for the day when I turn around?"

"Let him go, I'll replace him." The young man in white actually untied the sword from his waist and gently placed it on the ground, "You know, everyone here listens to me, you kidnap him and leave, they If you put me on the throne, wouldn’t you be in vain? If you take me away, even if he doesn’t want to save me, everyone here will want to save me.”

The blade approached the fragile neck, drawing a shallow bloodstain, Feng Shuo rolled his eyes in fright, and simply passed out.Qi Lang dragged him unconscious, thought for a while, and then agreed: "Okay... But if you dare to play any other tricks, I will kill him with a sword!"

Zhou Lanmu stretched out his hands, shook his head, and walked towards him very calmly. Qi Lang grabbed the arm of the boy in white who was shorter than him, and put the sword on his neck: "The people who told you are not allowed to follow, You come with me."

"Son!"

"Master Lan!"

Zhou Lanmu nodded obediently, and said softly: "Okay—have you heard, open the door of Jinting Palace and let the eldest son go out."

He paused for a moment, then said, "There's no need to follow, when General Xiao Chu arrives, he said... I can't meet him at the old place."

Today is another rebellion like a joke

Note:

In the old days, there was a beautiful woman, Gongsun, who used a sword to move around.

The viewer is as depressed as a mountain, and the world has been low for a long time.
