The Book of Troubled Times

 Chapter 616 The last breath to maintain the country

Huangfu Qing didn't say anything more and left from the other side of the house.

Having said all that, who love rival can do what he does? This kind of reminder is like what Tang Wanzhuang said. He has shouldered a lot. Not only is he letting his opponent go privately, but he is even teaching his opponent to do harm to him. No matter what happens next, he can have a clear conscience when he sees Zhao Changhe.

 In short, what happens next to Tang Wanzhuang is not what I have to consider, I should do my own thing. As Huangfu Qing flew by, he had already taken out the mask in his hand. After walking through the dark alley and leaving, the Suzaku spread its wings and the devil flames swept across the night.

Thinking back on the journey, Huangfu Qing was still a little impressed. Judging from Tang Wanzhuang's attitude, she might have already figured it out even if she didn't say it herself... If everyone's affairs would be ruined by her, then Huangfu Qing really admits that there is nothing to say about her inferior skills. of.

 As for the immortal... Tang Wanzhuang is certainly facing the odds, but where can dragon slayers like him be safe?

Who is not gambling with his life for his own ideals?

Over there, Tang Wanzhuang did not go out directly to receive Wuping Marquis Qin Dingjiang. Instead, he untied Baoqin's acupuncture point first and whispered: "Do you know how to do it?"

Hangqin pulled her sleeves and reluctantly said: "Miss... you come with us..."

Tang Wanzhuang rubbed her head: "Okay...when I see Zhao Changhe in the future, please tell me that I promised you to him, okay?"

Baoqin was furious: "You have the ability to marry yourself!"

After saying that, he ran away angrily, saying as he ran: "Qin Xu, if Zhao Changhe were here, he would definitely ask you what qualifications you have to give someone to him! Smelly **** will make arrangements for others, you make arrangements for yourself first!"

 After saying one sentence, he ran away without a trace, not giving the lady a chance to beat him.

Tang Wanzhuang looked at her back, sighed softly, and went out to see Qin Dingjiang.

Qin Dingjiang is her deputy of the Demon Suppression Department. He was once eighteenth on the Earth Ranking but is now fourteenth. He is also a pillar of the Great Xia Empire. He was once responsible for escorting Wang Daozhong back to the capital during the Yang Family Incident. He is a quiet and steady person. , does not involve any aristocratic family background, and is deeply trusted by Tang Wanzhuang.

“Why did Dingjiang come here so late at night? What is your Majesty’s order?”

Qin Dingjiang cupped his hands and said, "I don't know either. I just said that the chief minister should go to the Imperial Study Room to have an audience."

Because Xia Longyuan returned injured, Tang Wanzhuang also knew that the imperial guards were nothing more than wine bags and rice bags stuffed by powerful people from various families. She arranged for Qin Dingjiang to go to the palace to secretly guard the palace, and it was up to him to convey the message to the palace. It’s normal to have your will come out. Tang Wanzhuang nodded and strode out: "In that case, I will go on duty tonight and go back to Dingjiang to rest. You are also exhausted these days."

Qin Dingjiang smiled and said: "Then I really can't be polite to the leader. The leader has been working hard all night. I'll take a break and come back for another shift."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled and said: "I'm not that fragile. It's not hard for a few nights. Just go ahead."

"Then I have to go and hand over the situation first, and I'll go with the leader first."

"good."

They flew all the way to the palace gate. When the guards saw them, they bowed and opened the door to welcome them in.

The imperial study room is not far from the outer palace, and is in a small side hall before reaching the Jinluan Hall. It is convenient for foreign ministers to enter and discuss matters. It was one of the representatives of Xia Longyuan who worked hard to govern when he first ascended the throne in the early years. It's a pity that the bright lights in the Imperial Study Room over the years have nothing to do with Xia Longyuan himself. They are just a rubber stamp sitting there pretending.

The nature of this fake is also very interesting.

He couldn't bother Xia Longyuan with all the state affairs. Why would he really want a fake like that? In other words, Xia Longyuan actually gave him all the authority to discuss and criticize the imperial court. He could do whatever he wanted. On the surface, he had great power and was no different from a real emperor. Strictly speaking, some of the mentally retarded measures over the years were basically issued by him, and Xia Longyuan had no control at all.

But he cannot replace everything Xia Longyuan did. When he returned to the harem to rest, he had to hide in another small room. He didn't dare to sleep with the queen. Not to mention that Huangfu Qing and he were in political cooperation. He didn't dare to touch other concubines at all, not even the palace maids. In theory, that was all true. It belongs to Lao Xia. If Lao Xia really wants it, his head will be gone. Who knows what that feels like... The reason why we cooperated with Huangfu Qing is that we have hidden a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu, hoping that under our status, we might be able to create sparks? It's a pity that I can only think about it in my dreams, but I soon discovered that Huangfu Qing actually thought he was a piece of shit.

Politically speaking, on the surface he scolded Fang Qiu and it didn't matter what he did. In fact, when it came to really important matters, such as matters related to the big family, the army, and important personnel matters, he had to consult Zhen Lao Xia. For example, Tang Wanzhuang always contradicts her, with a respectful face, but her beautiful eyes also hide the meaning of "I know you are a fake" and "I want to give you some face, but I actually look down on you". The fake is unhappy and wants to withdraw her, how dare you? ?

He tentatively asked Zhen Lao Xia if he could evacuate the people. Lao Xia almost knocked out half of his teeth with a scratch on his ear: "Wanzhuang is my Marquis Wu, and you are my puppet. Find out your identity. I really think so." Doesn’t this country depend on you?”

There is no power in the world, nor the beauty of the beauty. This "emperor" is not as good as ordinary people. At least ordinary people can still marry a wife, and he cannot marry.

Under this situation, it is not surprising that the fake colluded with the Four Symbols Cult and planted Huangfu Qing in the inner palace. This was his most serious provocation and test against Xia Longyuan. The reason he used was "I also want a wife." As a result, Xia Longyuan frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "Okay, it's An Huangfu Yongxian's intention, it makes some sense... Just let her fool around for a few years and see what tricks she can play with the Four Symbols Sect. As for you... that's it Xiao Jiujiu wants to hide it from me?"

 The fake was bitten by thousands of ants, and he was tortured for ten days without being able to get off the ground.

 He finally understood that Xia Longyuan seemed to care about nothing, but actually knew everything. He clearly knew that Huangfu Qing was going to deal with him, but he still tolerated it, firstly for the sake of An Yanmen's Northern Army, secondly because of the slight apology he felt towards the Four Elephant Sect, and thirdly because he was confident that the Four Elephant Sect could not cause any trouble. The problem is that tolerating Huangfu Qing does not mean tolerating him. The double-standard treatment after this trial completely made the fake lose the idea of ​​fighting for some rights for himself, so he just became a puppet.

　　To this day, he finally had a chance to counterattack. No matter for Xia Longyuan or for Tang Wanzhuang who looked down on him.

Tang Wanzhuang and Qin Dingjiang had just arrived at the door of the royal study, and the **** outside the door announced: "The head of the Demon Suppression Division, Tang, has arrived."

A cold fake voice came from the imperial study: "The Tang family in Gusu blatantly proclaimed themselves king and rebelled. This is a major crime of rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. Capture Tang Wanzhuang immediately and raid the Tang family in the capital. The family will be executed!"

At the same time as he was speaking, Qin Dingjiang, who had been chatting and laughing with Tang Wanzhuang just now, suddenly took action and attacked Tang Wanzhuang's back.

As a courtier, Tang Wanzhuang seemed unable to resist, as the blow hit him directly.

 The people around were stunned.

The fake is a warrior after all, and his practice is not weak. This "golden words" spread far and wide, and the female eunuchs of the imperial guards nearby and even the foreign ministers, school clerks and other civil servants who stayed overnight in the outer palace heard about it, and they were instantly shocked both inside and outside!

These people don’t know that this is a fake, they all think it is the real intention...

It is not certain whether the Tang family has rebelled or not. It is just a rumor that needs to be investigated. It is even something that can be fought for. How can it be concluded like this?

Even if it is concluded that the Tang family rebelled, Tang Wanzhuang cannot be implicated. Who doesn't know that Tang Wanzhuang is firmly opposed to it? The most that can be done is to remove him from office. If you kill Tang Wanzhuang, can the world be saved? Do you know how many people are still working for the empire now because of Tang Wanzhuang? Many people know that there is no future, but they are just touched by Tang Wanzhuang’s personality charm and persist. Like Li Si’an and others, this kind of people are not Quite a few, they are the last guardians of the empire.

Your killing of Tang Wanzhuang is even more outrageous than Zhao Gou's killing of Wu Mu. You will scatter all the last bits of loyalty in the empire!

How dare you commit such an act of self-destruction on the Great Wall!

Those who can see the energy can almost see that the dragon energy lingering above the palace disappears in this moment, leaving nothing behind.

In the stunned silence, Tang Wanzhuang, who seemed to be restrained, sighed: "I knew this was the lead. The world's energy has been shaken for a long time, and this last critical blow should be on me, Tang Wanzhuang. I I can’t kill you yet, because if the news of Tang Wanzhuang’s regicide spreads, the effect will be the same, and this is an unsolvable problem.”

Qin Dingjiang didn't say anything in the imperial study, but he backed away in shock: "You...the acupuncture point was not hit?"

Tang Wanzhuang's face turned slightly red.

When someone kisses and practices dual cultivation to transfer energy, of course she must be taught how to practice dual cultivation. She has also read what Maitreya taught, and naturally she also learned about the transformation of acupoints.

 I just didn’t expect it to be used here.
