Chapter 472: There is only one truth

It was under this situation that Qin Lei came outside the south gate of the capital.

Seeing the familiar Zhongdu city wall, it was still so tall, mighty, solemn and solemn, Qin Lei couldn't help but sigh: "This is the city wall, what's the thing in Shenjing City?"

"Haha, Prince, are we really going in from here?" Le Buyi said slowly: "It's better to have less trouble than to have more trouble." Emperor Zhaowu has been busy attacking political enemies, and has not made time to clean up the shrimp soldiers and crab generals below. Therefore, the officers and soldiers guarding the southern city did not replace them, but Qin Lei secretly threatened Zhao Chengsi and installed the group. So if Qin Lei wanted to enter the city from the south gate, it would be no difficulty at all, but Emperor Zhaowu's imperial edict would still be birds or not? Although it's no big deal to not be birds, it's not good after all...

At this moment when everyone pretends to be grandchildren, there is really no need to be so high-profile as soon as you come back.

Qin Lei turned his horse's head and detoured through the Nanyang Gate in the west city. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate had long seen the roaring black tiger flag flying, and quickly reported to the decree who was drinking tea in the city gate tower.

"Close the city gate quickly..." The father-in-law suddenly jumped up from the kang like a cat with his tail, and drew the whisk in his hand, obviously shocked.

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately did it without any hesitation... Last autumn, Qin Lei slipped in from the Nanyang Gate and burned the Taiwei's house in the middle of the night. The old Taiwei, who was angry, naturally could not spare them. With a big stroke, no matter whether the person on duty or not that night, they were all sent to the north to Shema. Now, guarding the Xicheng Gate, everyone is his trusted soldier, so naturally they will not consider Qin Lei's feelings.

When Qin Lei arrived at the city, the gate was closed tightly, and many people who had no time to enter the city were blocked outside the door. The Qin people had a bad temper and were justified and did not make people. Many people verbally opened the door.

But as soon as his team came, the crowd immediately disappeared. In Daqin, there were not many people who did not recognize the Black Tiger Banner, and even fewer people did not admire the young prince. "The prince Qiansui..." I don't know who led the lead, but the people knelt down to pay their respects, saying that "Qiansui" is not the same.

Qin Lei nodded to everyone, reached out to build a pergola, and looked up at the city gate. He saw a trembling old eunuch who appeared at the city gate with the help of a bunch of eunuchs.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the Prince of Longwei has returned from afar, which is very gratifying. However, the general military exercise is about to come, and his combat strength is worrying and urgently needs to be tempered. So he immediately returned to Jingshan Camp to train soldiers and work hard to prepare for military exercises. He was not allowed to enter the city without an imperial edict, so he gave it to him."

Most of this imperial edict is nonsense, and there is only one meaning to express: "No way to enter the city without an imperial edict."

Although we were mentally prepared, we were still quite unhappy when we encountered such a thing... No one would be happy! We were desperate for Daqin to die outside, even if we had no credit, we still worked hard. We finally escaped from hardships, but we not only did not receive it, but also turned it away.

The black guards were immediately furious and their eyes fell on the prince's face. As long as he nodded, the guards would search the guy and cum.

However, Qin Lei just sneered and said, "Unless all detained officials are released, they will withdraw from the military exercise!" After that, he turned his horse's head and left.

Seeing that the prince was willing to give up, the black-clothed guard who was full of thought of making trouble had to turn around angrily and follow the prince away.

Looking at Qin Lei and his party's figures away, the old eunuch couldn't help but feel weak, and sat on the ground with his butt, murmured: "Why is this man changing his sexual intercourse? I thought I would have to peel off the skin if I don't die this time."

Not only the old eunuch was surprised by Qin Lei's reaction, but also the few people in Zhongdu City were quite surprised.

The first thing I got to know was naturally the Taiwei Mansion, which was closest to Nanyang Gate.

The old marquis was wearing only a single dress and was dancing the sword in the martial arts field. He saw his muscles all over his body, shrouded in a white mist, dancing the 100-pound iron sword in a bunch of flowers. Since he was humiliated by Qin Lei in public last time, he has worked harder and tempered his body almost self-abuse, hoping to have a chance to take revenge next time.

Li Qing and Mr. Yin stood aside patiently, not daring to make a sound... After the last time, the old lieutenant, who was originally cheerful, seemed to have changed. Not only did he have a slight face every day, he was also irritable and irritable, and he would dig a hole and bury people at any time.

The entire Taiwei Mansion was shrouded in his powerful power. Even Mr. Yin, who was originally extremely arrogant, is now honest and low-key, and he serves tea and pours water to Lao Li from time to time... It can be seen that people are just holding it.

Of course, this is also related to his failures several times in succession.

With a move of "Strike Huashan" and the old lieutenant finally finished a routine, standing there with a knife, gasping for breath.

"Okay!" Li Qing and Mr. Yin cheered repeatedly, and Li Qing helped him hand over the towel. Mr. Yin hesitated for a moment and presented the wine pot on the table to the old lieutenant with both hands.

Li Hun took the towel expressionlessly and wiped the sweat, and said coldly: "Is that kid here?"

"Here, but he's gone again." No one dares to keep this old man in hiding now.

"No trouble?" Li Hun glared, as if the sun came out from the west.

Li Qing swallowed and spitted, and said softly: "Maybe I went out to learn my lessons and did not conflict with the city gate. So I honestly responded."

Li Hun took the wine gourd, raised his head and wiped his mouth, and said incredibly: "What do you think of this kid?" Of course, this was to ask Mr. Yin. Li Qing was at best a thug and errand runner in his life.

Mr. Yin smiled slightly and said, "There is a way to change the country, but its nature..."

"To put it more plainly!" the old grand marshal frowned and said, "Don't you know if I hate others' sluts the most?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Mr. Yin quickly smiled and said, "As the saying goes, dogs can't change their shit..." The old marquis did not object, obviously because he had the right appetite. Mr. Yin continued, "If you all feel that Qin Yutian's actions are abnormal, it must be that he has changed his nature, but that he has other intentions."

"What are you trying to do?" The old marquis held the wine gourd tightly, and his fingers turned white when he used his hard work. It can be seen how much hatred he had for Qin Lei.

"He certainly believes that being outside the city is safer and more beneficial than being inside the city." Mr. Yin said confidently: "In fact, as long as he comes back, Emperor Zhaowu's arrogance will be dispelled, and compromise will inevitably be inevitable."

"Why? Is there anyone else who is afraid of my son?" Li Qing finally couldn't help but interrupt.

Mr. Yin couldn't help but smile and said, "The key is on the old Empress Wenzhuang." His white teeth showed, Mr. Yin smiled sinisterly: "Emperor Zhaowu and Qin Lei, one is her son and the other is her grandson. In her eyes, one represents the present and the other represents the future. As the ancestor of the Qin family, she must not only take care of the present, but also protect the future, and try not to conflict between the two."

Li Hun didn't care about his rap this time, but just asked in a deep voice: "If the two conflict, which one would she help?"

"Surrender coldly, and don't help each other, letting them survive the fittest. Only the strongest can become the first person in the royal family. She only secretly controls the scale of the duel between the two sides to avoid causing too much damage to the royal family," Mr. Yin said in a daze: "How lucky is the Qin royal family to have such an ancestor to support the formation?"

After a pause, Mr. Yin said again: "So when Qin Lei went south irreversible, she was silent without surprise. Because at that time, Emperor Zhaowu looked more like a winner. But now the situation is different. Qin Lei is back, and Emperor Zhaowu is no longer sure of winning. If the two sides continue to fight, they will only be defeated by the death of the net, and the royal family will suffer..." As he said, he grabbed the pale and thin palm and said confidently: "And this is something that Empress Dowager Wenzhuang cannot accept, so she will definitely stop it!"

After hearing Mr. Yin's words, Taiwei Li thought for a moment and said slowly: "Is it possible that the old woman in Wenzhuang is facing the emperor recently?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Mr. Yin spread his dead branches and shook his head and said, "The master must know that the emperor needs all officials to manage the world for him, and all officials need imperial power to support himself. The two are born with a pair, and they prosper and live in harmony. It is too late for Empress Dowager Wenzhuang to try her best to make up, so how could he incite the two to oppose each other secretly?"

Hearing his words were reasonable and well-founded, Li Hun's chrysanthemums became heavier and heavier. He drank a big mouthful of wine and asked roughly, "Who could it be?"

"Students guess it is a group." Mr. Yin said carefully: "Or a group of people with common interests will never be the power of a certain person."

"Who is the leader? Even a group of people should have a leader, right?" Li Hun raised his eyebrows and glared at him, "Find him out, I want to see him."

"Students are ashamed, and they really have no way to know," Mr. Yin smiled bitterly, "It looks like everyone else, and no one else is like everyone else..."

"Let's check again! You must find this person before someone else!" The big knife slapped to the ground, and Li Hun gritted his teeth.

Li Qing and the other two responded quickly.

Later, in the imperial study room of the palace.

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict on the city also explained the situation to Emperor Zhaowu one by one.

"Oh, this kid didn't make any trouble?" Emperor Zhaowu took his eyes off the memorial and raised his head. After seeing him for half a year, he became more energetic, and even his tone of speaking became much higher. It seemed that the taste of mastering authority was really great, and it could make the emperor's old man, who had a dead tree. He reached out and gently brushed his slender eyebrows. Emperor Zhaowu said in a deep voice: "Have he said anything?"

"He said..." The old eunuch looked at the emperor and whispered: "If the officials are not released, they will not participate in the military exercise."

"Bastard!" Emperor Zhaowu slapped the table suddenly, his eyes flashing coldly, "Do he dare to resist the order?" In Qiuli's first military exercise, the Jingshan New Army had fully proved their strength. Whether it was individual soldiers or battle formations, they would marches to death, and they would ban the orders or respond immediately. The quality of all aspects was no less than that of the other four armies, so Emperor Zhaowu was very sure of the military exercises in the beginning of next spring.

But now, the rebellious son dared to threaten me and said he wanted to withdraw from the military exercise... This is really unbearable!

Emperor Zhaowu was furious and wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting, saying, "Have you been brave enough to eat the ambition leopard? He was so arrogant when he came back, why didn't you die outside?" This may be the most special imperial edict in Emperor Zhaowu's life. He continued to write, "I will give you the last chance to apologize to me in Beijing, otherwise it will go as far as you want! If you don't want to do it, some people are willing to do it!" After writing, he threw the cinnabar pen on the ground and said coldly: "Get the seal and pass the imperial edict."

The miserable eunuch wailed in his heart: "I thought I could escape by relying on the high wall, but who thought I would go deep into the tiger's den. It seems that you would not give up if you don't kill me..." He took the imperial edict with a gray face, staggered out of the hall, and headed towards the unknown future.

After the eunuch passed the eunuch left, Emperor Zhaowu calmed down and looked at the old eunuch Zhuo who stood with his head down and said, "Is this rebellious son just asking for the release of those officials? Does this mean... he and that mysterious person are in the same group?"

Zhuo Yan said in a low voice: "I don't know..."

"Hey!" sighed irritably, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows hard and said depressedly: "I don't know what happened to Lou Wanli. It's been half a month, why haven't I even asked about it?"

Zhuo Yan also said distressedly: "Those officials were very nervous. Even if they could not endure the torture, they would still talk nonsense. What about the Grand Marshal Li, the Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince, several Grand Secretary, and even the Third Prince. Anyway, the nobles in the court were more noble, so they told them all... it was the same as if they hadn't said it." As he said, "Your Majesty, the adults are delicate, and this is not going to be a big deal, so they beat three to death first. If they go down, they will fight against revenge... You see, are you suspending the torture?"

Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a while, his narrow eyes were dark and dark, and finally sighed: "Okay... tell Lou Wanli not to punish him anymore, and treat the injured ones again." After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly and murmured: "You must find that person..."

"I will never find this person!" On the way back to Jingshan City, Qin Lei also talked to Le Buyi about the mysterious 'master behind the scenes'. He only heard Le Buyi smile confidently and said, "Because there is no such person at all."

Qin Lei couldn't help but smile and said, "Is it a ghost?"

"Of course it's not a ghost," Le Buyi looked at the gloomy sky and saw the dark clouds all over his eyes and said in a low voice: "It is a huge group, including all officials, whether they are prime ministers or grandsons, ministers, ministers, ministers, doctors, officials, chief officials, and even all censors, who are natural members of this group."

After hearing this sensational conclusion, even though Qin Lei was determined, he couldn't help but sweat and breathe in his palms, saying, "Who has such great ability to unite all these people? Even if he wants to be the emperor, it's easy!"

Seeing Qin Lei's nervous look, Le Buyi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Prince, I have been paying attention to this phenomenon for a long time, and finally found that no one could control this group, and it was impossible for usurpers to be born in this group, so I felt relieved." He said with a smile and said calmly: "You might as well start from scratch."

"I would like to hear the details." Qin Lei said solemnly.

"The Book of Songs says, 'All the kings under the heavens are the kings'. It means that since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the emperor has the leadership over the world. But the territory of China is too large, and the emperor can't control it even if he has three heads and six arms. So there is the next sentence, 'All the kings and ministers are the kings'. The emperor wants to divide his authority into part and let the kings help him manage the world." After saying that, Le Buyi also took a special look at Qin Lei, meaning, do you want to translate it?

Qin Lei nodded, indicating that he could understand.

Le Buyi continued, "But how many points are appropriate? This degree cannot be determined, and no one can decide."

"How do you decide?" Qin Lei asked softly.
