Purple must

The national teacher, who has always been careful at every step and has exhausted all means, said "give it a go", which not only made everyone feel the danger of the situation, but also made their blood boil.

Horses and bicycles, in the aftermath of the war, they still rushed to Haojing.

Young master Liu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in the city, recalling the sadness of being expelled by his biological father when he was a child, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The national teacher accompanied the son of King Wen's legacy to stay in Shenzhen and return to Beijing. The princes bowed their heads and all the people greeted them.Liushen had already returned to Haojing first, and there was an army of Jihou who followed up to sit in the town. Zhuhou originally wanted to support the youngest son of the Communist King, Gongsun Yan, but under the general situation, he had no choice but to give up.His soldiers and horses had already been consumed too much in the battle against Lu Changqing in Haojing and the enemy Quan Rong in Qiguan, and they were no longer enough to compete with the recharged Ji Guo army.Fortunately, he has made great achievements in resisting the army. Although he can't coerce the emperor to make the princes, he is enough to rank among the three princes.

It was already February, and in the Gaojing Palace, which had been abandoned for a long time, green grass sprouts emerged from the cracks in the stones.Amidst the bleakness, it is full of vitality.

The assassination that day disappeared without a trace, and there is no way to verify it. The new Wang Jianzuo has too many more imminent things.

The first thing is to count the culprit—the rebellious minister Qinghou Lu Changqing—to give an explanation to the people of the world.

In the vast and icy hall, above the hundred-step alchemy, the new king Liu Shen sat on a high golden chair, overlooking the princes.From the right are Jihou Xiao Huaijin, Jinghou Fengyun, Zhenhou Jinyu and others, and from the left are Zhuhou Mingsong, Zong Haiyou, Meisheng, Duhou Baichang and others.In the middle of the main hall, Lu Changqing, the treasonous Marquis of Qing, was shackled by a hundred catties of black iron shackles, and he was forced to kneel under Dan Chi by Ting Wei.

When Lu Changqing jumped off the cliff, he had no intention of living, but he did not expect that he survived.

If you survive, you will have to face the sanctimonious faces of these people and endure endless ridicule and humiliation.

Regardless of the contemptuous gazes of others, he tried his best to raise his head, looking for the man sitting in the gloomy wooden chair on Danchi.Feng Qi is wearing a dark purple dress with a curvy train, white hair like snow, and beautiful phoenix eyes.That look was actually exactly the same as the one he casually glanced at when he paid tribute to the Common Dynasty many years ago.

Why does he still have a heartbeat, obviously every time his heart beats, it makes him feel so painful.

Lu Changqing remembered that he was in a trance from the severe pain last night, and had a dream.In the dream, this person gently touched his face, shed tears for him, and called his name hoarsely...

Sure enough, it was just a dream, now that he is on top, and he is a prisoner, yet he still has fantasies about him.

At that time, he kept saying that he would retreat to the mountains and forests with him, and spend the days of resting on rocks, but it was a lie after all.

Liu Shen said: "Lu Changqing conspired against him, captured Gaojing, forced the king to death, assassinated his son Xu, attracted Quan Rong to take the opportunity to go south, provoked the world's war, and killed people, what is the crime?"

Zhu Hou Mingsong remembered the vengeance of an arrow, and took the lead in saying: "Such traitors should be executed Ling Chi!"

Zonghou and Zhenhou have always been led by Zhuhou, and they all echoed.

Ji Hou Xiao Huaijin said: "Although Lu Changqing committed the great crime of treason, he intercepted Quanrong from behind in the Battle of Qiguan and made great achievements. It can be seen that his loyalty to the Great Zhou has not faded. Personal grievances. The merits and demerits are balanced, and the minister thinks that he can cut his title of Marquis, punish him with two hundred sticks, and imprison him forever."

Ji Hou could see from the very beginning that Feng Qi's wholeheartedness in persuading Lu Changqing to fight against the dog army with the princes was definitely not to borrow the strength of the Qing Kingdom, but to give Lu Changqing a reason to reduce the crime.

Last night, Feng Qi took back from him the golden elixir that he had given him as a thank you for accepting the young master's gift, and went into prison, and personally fed the golden elixir, which has miraculous effects on internal injuries, into the unconscious Lu Changqing's mouth.There are only three golden elixirs in the world, and Feng Qi gave both of them to Lu Changqing.

That's why Ji Hou fulfilled his wish and interceded for Lu Changqing.Although two hundred sticks is a heavy responsibility, it can be resisted with the power of a golden core. If Lu Changqing is not in the palace to see blood, it is definitely not enough to calm the anger of the public.

Zhu Hou glanced at Zong Hou, and Zong Hou Luan Meisheng said: "Your Highness Ji Hou, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this punishment is too light. If Lu Changqing's crime of conspiracy is not heavy, it is not enough to punish the world."

There was a sound of echoing again.

Ji Hou took in the current king and guarded him to ascend the throne with soldiers and horses. His contribution is unparalleled, so although he was slandered by the public, his opinions were still very strong.

In Liu Shen's heart, he naturally wished to cut Lu Changqing into pieces, but he also knew that this person was highly valued by the national teacher, and it was even rumored that the national teacher lost his hair overnight because of him.If Lu Zhangqing is killed, not only will there be a rift between the teachers and students of the state, but it may even cause the teacher's injuries to be aggravated due to grief.

His life and his throne are all due to the favor of the national teacher.

He is a passionate young man with clear grievances and grievances, and he will never bear to hurt his benefactor.

Following the steps given by Jihou, he said: "Although Lu Changqing committed the crime of treason, he also had the merit of resisting the army. The crime is not worthy of death. He will be stripped of his title, charged with two hundred sticks in court, and taken to Mount Li. Feng Prison, eternal life will not be released!"

After leaving some deep words, he quietly looked at Feng Qi who was sitting on the gloomy wooden chair beside him.

Feng Qi didn't seem to hear the dispute and the final sentence at all, and looked at the void indifferently.When he came up from the bottom of the cliff, he often lost his mind like this.According to Ji Xiao, sometimes seeing him wandering in the pavilions and corridors in the middle of the night, with his white hair loose, was very frightening.

Now that Wang Jinkou opened his mouth, the officials dared not fight any more.Ting Wei pulled Lu Changqing's hands and feet apart with iron chains and tied them to four pillars; he stood up on the left and right sides, raised a thick court stick, and hit Lu Changqing's back fiercely.

Lu Changqing gritted his teeth and did not cry out.Cold sweat slid from his forehead and flowed into his eyes, stinging painfully.Sweating more and more, his vision was hazy, and he could hardly see Feng Qi's face on Danchi.

31, 32, 33...

It hurts, it hurts, the spine is about to be broken, and every old injury is superimposed on a new one, which finally made him utter a □□.After that, with each stroke of the staff, he unconsciously let out a cry from his mouth.

The scene of the court stick was deserted and weird, not only failed to make the carnivores gloat, but on the contrary, they felt terrified.

Even if it can make the hard-backed Marquis Qing cry out in pain, it must be the ultimate pain.

In a trance, Lu Changqing still remembered that Feng Qi put his lips on the back of his neck that day, and said softly: "If I want to stay away from this dispute between the government and the opposition, find a deserted mountain forest, and spend my days resting on rocks, would you like to be with me?" I go?"

He replied at that time: "...Even if it is imprisoned, it doesn't matter, Feng Qi, don't break your promise."

How could he refuse such an invitation from the person he loves the most in his heart.From the moment Feng Qi said it, Lu Changqing was doomed to fail today.

Although the body is enduring excruciating pain, it is still not as good as the severe pain in the heart.

The person he loves the most, the person he is willing to sacrifice his life for, is looking at him expressionlessly at this moment, no different from the princes around him who are gloating at others' misfortune.

It was because of this person that he ruined his reputation and fell into the field where he is slaughtered today.

When he fell off the cliff, he told Feng Qi that he would not regret it.But today, and at this moment, he asked himself, did he still not regret it?

When the cane was performed to 97 strokes, there was a commotion outside the hall. For a while, Tingwei escorted a young man with a fair and beardless appearance, and pressed two teenagers who looked exactly the same on the floor of the hall.

Ji Hou patted the table and said: "Ji Xiao, you are so brave to trespass on Zhaohui Palace!"

Ji Xiao struggled and said, "Xiao Huaijin! Do you want to see them beat Lu Changqing to death!"

Ordinary people will never be able to save their lives after receiving two hundred sticks, let alone Lu Changqing who was already seriously injured.However, Ji Xiao didn't know that Feng Qi gave Lu Changqing the golden pill the night before.

Ever since Lu Changqing sacrificed his life to save Feng Qi who fell off the cliff, she had a good impression of Lu Changqing from the bottom of her heart.Although she grew up in a duke's family, she is still a daughter-in-law, and she doesn't care about fighting for power. She only likes Lu Changqing's infatuation from the bottom of her heart.

"Lord Fengqi, why didn't you say a word!" She raised her head and shouted loudly to the top of the hundredth rank alchemy, "Lu Changqing once gave up his life to save you, are you so heartless!"

Xie Yan cried to Lu Changqing, who was covered in blood, "Brother Changqing...you wake up...don't die..."

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to the top of Dan Chi, "Your Majesty, my lord, please don't let them beat Brother Changqing anymore...Brother Changqing is going to be beaten to death by them...Brother Changqing Not a bad guy..."

After all, he had shared weal and woe with these people under Dan Chi, and Liu Shen was a little annoyed to see them protecting Lu Changqing like this, but he couldn't bear it.

Feng Qi turned a deaf ear and just stared at the void.

Two hundred rods and eternal imprisonment are already very light punishments for Lu Changqing's treason.No matter what he said, he would only be seized by the princes to protect his shortcomings, which was counterproductive.

Xie Yan kowtowed continuously, his face was covered with blood, but the court staff kept falling down.

At this moment, his little heart hated Feng Qi who was silent.

Jinghou Fengyun opened his eyes that seemed to be closed all the time, stood up and cupped his hands towards the throne of Danchi, and said, "Your Majesty, the traitor Lu Changqing deserves the two hundred sticks. However, after all, what His Majesty just ordered is imprisonment, not execution. I think we can fight again." If we go down, Lu Changqing will die, and his death is trivial, but it will cause His Majesty's order to be impossible, which will damage Tianwei."

Everyone didn't expect Feng Yun to intercede for Lu Changqing, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.Liu Shen couldn't bear to see his childhood sweetheart, Ji Xiao, crying at His Highness, and asked, "What's your opinion, Uncle?" Zhou Tianzi always referred to princes of the opposite sex as Uncle.

That day Xuan Yuan shot Feng Qi off the cliff with a hidden arrow, Feng Yun was furious and slapped him hard.Angrily, Xuan Yuan uttered the deep love in his heart, which made Feng Yun feel guilty instead.Although he loves beauties, the ones he has most around him are beauties.And Xuanyuan's loyal and resourceful retainers are what he really lacks and urgently needs.Thinking about it, Xuanyuan had been with him for more than twenty years, giving advice and counseling, even the incomparable Lu Shutong was in the hands of the two of them, and now he can't let go of Xuanyuan.Even though Feng Qi's falling off the cliff became a thorn in his heart, he never mentioned it.

Last night Xuan Yuan said: "Feng Qi has always been cunning, it is absolutely impossible to let others deal with Lu Changqing. If he asks for mercy, His Highness can take the opportunity to stir up the emperor's jealousy towards Lu Changqing; if he does not intervene, I am afraid that he has done something secretly. "

Xuan Yuan took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, "I got this poison from Miao Jiang, even Feng Qi couldn't get rid of it. His Highness ordered Lu Changqing to take it at the right time. From now on, he has to be controlled by others, life is better than death."

Xuan Yuan hated Feng Qi, so he wanted to retaliate by hurting Lu Changqing; Feng Yun was afraid that Lu Changqing would know the truth about Qi Tongjun's death, and also intended to take his life.

At this point in the execution, Feng Qi still didn't say a word, Feng Yun thought to himself: Maybe Xuanyuan really hit the mark, what did the national teacher do secretly?

So he took the opportunity of everyone to intercede for Lu Changqing, and asked the eunuch to fetch a glass cup filled with wine, took out a porcelain bottle, poured the poison into the wine, and said softly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I once got a poison in Miaojiang. For Chi Xiao. People who are poisoned, life is worse than death every day. Only by taking more poison can they be relieved. It is better to let Lu Changqing take this poison. No matter where he is in the future, he will be subject to this poison, and he will never dare to act rebellious and treacherous. Things."

Feng Qi was startled, he had also heard about Chi Xiao San, and even he couldn't decipher this poisonous Miao people's control.If it is used on Ah Man, his life would be worse than death.

The hall was silent for a while, and then Ji Xiao's angry curse echoed: "Feng Yun! You have such a poisonous heart!"

Feng Yun said with a smile: "Princess Ji Guo, do you think it would be better for Lu Changqing to be beaten to death?"

After hearing this, Ji Xiao had nothing to say.She looked up at Dan Chi angrily.

Hearing Feng Yun's explanation of this Gu, staying deep felt just right.He didn't want Lu Changqing to be beaten to death, causing Ji Xiao and the national teacher to resent him; however, if he let Lu Changqing go like this, it would be difficult for him to appease the public's anger.

At this time, one hundred and three sticks had been struck, Liu Shen glanced sideways at Feng Qi, and seeing that he was still absent-minded, he said, "Uncle Jinghou is right, then Lu Changqing's remaining 97 sticks will be waived and replaced on behalf of him." This poison."

"No!" Xie Yan cried out.Xie Ji sighed deeply after hearing the verdict.

Just when the eunuch was about to walk towards Lu Changqing with the glazed lamp, Feng Qi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Xiao Huaijin raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to Feng Qi.Ji Xiao and the second son of the Xie family looked at him expectantly as if grasping at straws.

Everyone watched as Feng Qi got up slowly, walked down Danchi, and took the glazed cup from the eunuch's hand.

But he took the glazed cup and walked up to Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing's consciousness was slackened, and he felt a familiar purple standing in front of his eyes.

"Master Feng Qi..." He whispered in his heart.

Even if he didn't say anything, even if he just looked at him, Lu Changqing felt comforted at this moment.

"Master Guoshi, please spare brother Changqing!" Xie Yan saw the hope and begged.

Feng Qi said indifferently: "Since Your Majesty has said that 'Chi Xiao' will be used to replace the rest of the stick, it will never be excused. Do you think the emperor's order is a child's play, if you say forgive, you will forgive, if you say forgive, you will forgive me?"

Not only Ji Xiaoxieyan and others, but even the princes present were shocked.

Feng Qi said again: "Lu Changqing is a rebellious minister and a traitor. His crime cannot be punished. If he is not severely punished, it is not enough to warn the world."

Hearing the indifferent words spoken by the familiar hoarse voice of the man above his head, Lu Changqing felt a thunderous bang.It turned out that he had always thought this way in his heart, and it turned out that he was really so fickle...

The man who endured the humiliation and gently called him "Aman" turned out to be a false pretense...

Every word Feng Qi uttered was cut into a sharp blade, and a knife pierced his heart, which was more unbearable for him than the cruel court stick.He could no longer support himself and passed out.

Feng Qi looked down at Lu Changqing, who was covered in blood and looked hopeless, and his heart felt as if he had been hacked into pieces.He tried his best to restrain the desire to hug Lu Changqing, suppressed his voice and said: "... However, although Lu Changqing committed a serious crime, he is my savior.If I intercede for him, I am disloyal; if I stand on the sidelines, I am unrighteous. "

Unexpectedly, his attitude softened suddenly, Ji Xiao quickly looked at him, trying to find a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Feng Qi raised the glass cup and said calmly and firmly, "Today, only if I drink this wine on my behalf, can I be loyal and righteous."

Before everyone could be astonished, he had already drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.There was no hesitation in the movement of raising the glass and raising the neck, it was extremely decisive.

——Just like when Lu Changqing jumped off the cliff that day, he showed no hesitation.

Everyone was stunned, and the hall was completely silent for a while.

Feng Qi lifted the hem of his clothes, threw his body to the ground, kowtowed deeply to the shocked emperor above the hundredth rank of Danqi, and said, "I beg your majesty to punish the humble minister for the crime of beheading first and then playing."

No one expected Feng Qi to do this, and Liu Shen was shocked and heartbroken.Such a scene reminded him of the time when the national teacher rescued him many years ago.

He actually saw this person's indifferent look today, and forgot his blood.

Others say that Feng Qi is ruthless, does he not understand him like they do?How can a heartless and ungrateful person repeatedly disregard his own safety and save others in distress?

Loyalty and righteousness cannot have both, and he refused to abandon his principles, so he had to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

"National teacher... get up quickly..." Liu Shen wished he could run down Danchi to help Feng Qi up, "National teacher is so benevolent and righteous, what is the crime..."

Feng Qi thanked the emperor, got up slowly, stopped looking at anyone, and walked into the apse.

"Master Feng Qi, I know you are not a heartless person..." Ji Xiao didn't know whether to be happy or sad, his eyes filled with tears.

Lu Changqing was dragged down from the palace and put back into the dungeon.When the divination date is selected, he will be escorted to Feng Prison in Lishan.
