As soon as Zhao Changqing finished speaking, the late emperor's beloved concubines began to cry in fear. At this moment, they didn't dare to say anything more. They only hoped that he could spare their lives.

But Zhao Changqing was determined to kill them.

He said to Jian Er: "Don't call Lao Si and the others, let all these women kneel in front of Xuanwu Gate and wait for my king to be punished!"

Jianer clasped his fists and made a "promise", preparing to take them to Xuanwu Gate.

But at this moment, a voice came from outside the palace, "Please ask Qi Wang Zhao Changqing to accept the late emperor's decree!"

"The late emperor? What's the special decree?" Zhao Changqing was confused and said loudly: "Who is it?"

The man in black robe outside the palace came to the palace in an instant.

This shocked Zhao Changqing.

What a fast speed!

But Jian Yi was faster and stood in front of Zhao Changqing immediately.

Zhao Changqing looked at the man in black robe and asked, "Who are you?"

The man in black robe held the imperial edict in one hand, held out his chest with the other behind his back, and said, "I am Zhao Wuji, the master of the secret guards!"

"Zhao Wuji? Never heard of it. Jianyi, kill him." Zhao Changqing said simply.

He is a little irritable now and wants to kill someone.

Even though the opponent was a master of land immortals who was at the same level as himself, Jianyi did not hesitate after hearing Zhao Changqing's order. He pulled out a sword from a soldier beside him and made a gesture to stab the man in black robes.

.

But the man in black robe unfolded the imperial edict, faced them, and said, "Wait a minute! Your Highness, King Qi, you can see clearly. This is the imperial edict left by the late emperor. Do you dare to disrespect it?"

Under the cover of the Jiange brothers, Zhao Changqing stepped forward, carefully and carefully read the fonts and seals on the imperial edict, and thought to himself:

"It is indeed my father's handwriting, and it is also the seal of the official imperial seal. However, the old man is already dead, so why did he leave a posthumous edict? Could it be that he knew I wanted to kill them? That's why he left it

Is the edict prepared for any danger? To put it bluntly, isn’t this written just for me?”

Thinking of this, Zhao Changqing was so angry that he almost died. He still thought about harming me, how hateful!

He secretly asked Zhuge Liang beside him, "What are the secret guards?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you know?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head.

If I knew this, why would I ask you? Isn’t this nonsense?

Zhuge Liang whispered back: "This secret guard is a secret organization created by the late emperor. Very few people know about it. This organization specializes in spying on assassinations."

After Zhuge Liang said this, Zhao Changqing finally understood. Isn't this an organization similar to the Jinyiwei of Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty in the original world?

Zhao Changqing looked at the contents of the imperial edict again, wanting to make sure.

The content, in general, is to ask the brothers not to kill each other, but to tolerate each other, to love each other, etc. Otherwise, they must say it in front of the civil and military officials and scholars of the world, and in front of the spiritual thrones of the ancestors of the Zhao family.

His sins will be punished by the whole world.

Anyway, Zhao Changqing doesn't care. Naturally, he will sneer at the content of the imperial edict. He has already made such a fuss. How can you let it go just because of the edict?

is it possible?

If we don't kill them tonight, how can He De still dare to call himself a time traveler?

Zhao Wuji looked at Zhao Changqing and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, you still don't accept the imperial edict?"

However, Zhao Changqing's reply in the next second made Zhao Wuji stunned. He just heard him say: "This is not urgent."

Then he paused and then said: "You are the master of the secret guards. In other words, you are the biggest among the entire secret guards, right?"

Zhao Wuji is a little confused. According to the inherent plot routine, shouldn't he accept the imperial edict at this time?

Why do you ask this?

In desperation, Zhao Wuji could only nod in response.

Zhao Changqing asked again: "After I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, will your secret guards surrender to me?"

Zhao Wuji thought for a while and then said: "If you, Long Yun, are behind you, I will serve you. However, if you, my lord, do something that goes against the late emperor, I apologize for not being able to serve you!"

Is it against the late emperor’s rule?

Doesn't that mean you won't be able to serve me?

Well, pretty good.

Zhao Changqing continued to ask with a smile on his face: "Then how powerful are your secret guards now?"

Zhao Wuji didn't worry too much, he just thought that His Highness King Qi just wanted to know the power of the secret guards, so he replied: "Every state, every prefecture, and capital city all have secret spots of secret guards, and they are intertwined with each other.

It has become a big network, spreading all over the country, monitoring the whole country, with a total of 10,000 people."

Zhao Changqing was a little frightened after hearing this.

Damn it!

It’s still a behemoth!

I really can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend...

Zhao Changqing continued to ask, "How many land immortal masters are there like you?"

Zhao Wuji said: "Only the next person."

Hearing this, Zhao Changqing took a breath and said with a smile: "I have finished asking my questions."

Zhao Wuji heard the sound and said: "Then is His Royal Highness King Qi going to receive the imperial edict?"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said calmly: "It's not urgent, where are sword one, sword two, and sword three!"

"My subordinates are here!" The three of them bowed in response.

Zhao Wuji didn't know what he meant, but after seeing Zhao Changqing's gaze, he guessed something. Sure enough, the next moment he heard him say loudly:

"I order the three of you to kill Zhao Wuji on the spot. The crime is... treason!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the three of them used their strength together to force the confused Zhao Wuji back outside the hall, and then the four of them immediately fought together.

During this period, Zhao Wuji also said: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, are you really not afraid of the wrath of heaven and people for doing this? The country of Wei will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands!"

He was very depressed.

Why did he suddenly become treasonous?

If this were written down in the history books, it would be infamy for thousands of years!

Zhao Changqing snorted coldly when he heard the sound, but did not reply. Instead, he turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "Send someone to tell Zilong that he will lead 50,000 troops to completely eradicate the secret guard's stronghold in Chang'an tonight!"

After Zhuge Liang bowed, he immediately ordered the matter to his bodyguards, asking him to handle it well and receive a reward when he returned.

At this time, Zhao Changqing looked at Zhao Changyuan, then at the sword he held in his hand, and murmured: "Kill yourself and take your wife away with you, otherwise, what I once said will definitely stand.

Jian Si, take all these women and princesses, except the Queen, outside the Xuanwu Gate! Lao Jiu, do you want to follow me to watch a good show?"

Lao Jiu bowed and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Zhao Changqing smiled heartily and strode outside the hall.

Lao Jiu supported his mother and walked slowly in the direction Zhao Changqing left.

Zhuge Liang did not leave, but remained in the palace.

After everyone left, Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhao Changyuan and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict of sin and an edict of abdication. This will ensure that your children can live a carefree life."

Zhao Changyuan snorted coldly and said: "It's ridiculous."

Zhuge Liang smiled, like a spring breeze, fanned his feather fan, and stood with one hand behind his back, as if he was confident and said: "What if I let your child live his life with dignity?"

Zhao Changyuan was stunned when he heard the sound, his mind was touched, and he said: "Just you?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "It's not because of me, but because of His Highness the King of Qi."

"Zhao Changqing? Oh, how can he be so kind?" Zhao Changyuan didn't believe it and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense here!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Do you know, just now, why His Highness the King of Qi only told you and the Queen to commit suicide, but did not involve the child? Did the prince forget it?

No, he just wants to express one meaning to you, that is, this child can survive, but under the premise of all this, he needs your help."

After saying that, he thought to himself: "How about it, Your Majesty, Liang did not misunderstand what you meant?"

Zhao Changyuan thought for a while, and when he saw the drowsy child nestled in his mother's arms after a long day's work, he felt extremely painful in his heart. He struggled for a while, and finally looked at Zhuge Liang and slowly said:

"Is this true?"

"Seriously." Zhuge Liang replied firmly.

Zhao Changyuan felt warm in his heart when he saw his child gradually falling into sleep, and he said to Zhuge Liang: "Okay, I'm writing, if what you said is false, I won't let you and Zhao Changqing go even if I turn into a ghost.

!”

Zhuge Liang said: "This is natural."
