Chapter five hundred and ninety-five

The emperor and the Anxi generals seemed to be in a stalemate.

Li Heng was shocked by the murderous aura of the Anxi generals, and several Anxi Ju generals did not kneel down to worship the emperor. Both sides remained motionless, the deadlock became more and more stiff, and the air seemed to solidify.

After a long stalemate, the room behind the door was pushed open by the servants, and a weak voice came from the room.

“…You must not lose your courtesy.”

The voice was very small, but Li Heng outside still heard it, it was Gu Qing's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, several murderous Anxi generals outside the door suddenly put away their weapons, knelt on one knee toward Li Heng, and said in unison: "The last general will pay homage to the emperor."

Li Heng tried hard to squeeze out a smile, raised his hand and said, "Everyone is calm."

Several generals stood up without saying a word, stood aside consciously, giving up the middle position.

Li Heng's heartbeat was a little fast, and he was both afraid and anxious.

Today I saw with my own eyes the fierce generals in the Anxi Army who were both afraid of the bravery of the generals and worried about the rebelliousness of the generals.

Judging from their performance just now, there is no emperor in their eyes, only Gu Qing.

Gu Qing's weak order made them willing to put away their weapons and pay homage to their ministers.

Li Heng knew very well that they were not worshiping the emperor, but Gu Qing's order.

Holding back the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, Li Heng nodded at them with a smile, and then walked into the house.

The room was very dark and there was a strong smell of medicine in the air. Gu Qing was lying on the bed, and two people who looked like doctors stood quietly. Seeing Li Heng walking in, the two doctors hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

Gu Qing was naked and covered with cloth strips. Blood was faintly oozing from the white cloth strips. Gu Qing's face turned pale and could not move on the bed. He looked like he was seriously injured.

Li Heng sneered in his heart, but there was a look of heartache and anxiety on his face. He strode forward and said, "Gu Qing, Gu Qing, I'm here to see you."

Gu Qing heard the voice, opened his eyes slightly, then gritted his teeth and tried hard to support his upper body. As if he wanted to salute, the doctor next to him hurriedly stopped him.

Li Heng also said tactfully: "Gu Qing doesn't have to be too polite. It's important to take care of her health. Lying down quickly."

Gu Qing smiled apologetically at Li Heng and said softly: "Your Majesty is forgiven for your rudeness."

Li Heng sighed, "I just heard this morning that the Anxi Army camp was attacked. Some thieves dared to gather remaining soldiers outside the capital of the Tang Dynasty and raid the camp. It was lawless. I have issued a strict order to investigate and will capture the thieves, beheaded and displayed to the public, and avenge Gu Qing."

Gu Qing said weakly: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will have such a disaster. I didn't expect that there would be a remnant enemy near the capital that had not been eliminated. It was my carelessness."

Li Heng said caringly: "Gu Qing recovers from his injuries and don't worry about anything else. I heard that you were seriously injured and took the imperial physician specifically. Why not let the imperial physician show Gu Qing?"

Before Gu Qing could speak, a doctor next to him said in a panic: "Your Majesty forgive me. Cao Min had just bandaged Mr. Gu's wound, and the wound had stopped bleeding. He applied medicine. If someone else came to see him, he would tear the bandaged wound again, which would be quite unfavorable to Mr. Gu's injury."

Li Heng smiled and stopped insisting.

In fact, what happened to Gu Qing's "serious injuries" is everyone knows each other well. Of course, Li Heng didn't want the imperial physician to really untie the strip wrapped in Gu Qing's body. At this moment, the strip wrapped in Gu Qing's body was the only fig leaf left between the monarch and the ministers. If it was torn off, it would be bad for everyone. Now it is not time for the monarch and the ministers to tear apart.

Li Heng sat beside Gu Qing's bed and said caringly: "Gu Qing is at ease and rest assured. You are a country's important weapon and you must not make any mistakes. The rebellion in the north is not yet settled, and the country is in ruins. Gu Qing will help me make an idea for many state affairs and government affairs. I will keep the position of the Secretary of the Political Affairs Hall for you. After Gu Qing recovers from his injuries, he will take office."

Gu Qing showed a touch of emotion and whispered: "It is my fault that your Majesty is concerned about. I will definitely get better as soon as possible and die for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Heng was also moved and said, "Gu Qing made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty and was the pillar of the country. I didn't expect that you would suddenly suffer this sudden disaster. It hurts you and my heart."

Gu Qing's eyes suddenly turned red and he choked and said, "Your Majesty treats me with national talents, and I will repay me with national talents."

Turning his head with difficulty, Gu Qing took a bulging cloth bag from the jade pillow of the bed and handed it to Li Heng tremblingly.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this?"

Gu Qing said sadly: "This is the seal of the commander of the Anxi Jiedushi. Whenever there is a war, all the generals of the Anxi Army will use this seal as a letter. No one dares to refuse to obey the entire army. I am seriously injured and have been named the Minister of the Secretariat because of the kindness of heaven. The seal of the commander of the Anxi Jiedushi is no longer used. I should hand over the power of the Anxi Jiedushi. I will return this seal to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to accept it."

Li Heng's heart beat violently and he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

This handsome seal was his dream!

If it is taken over, will the threat the Anxi army to the court be eliminated forever?

His heartbeats violently, and Li Heng subconsciously stretched out his hand to take over the handsome seal, but as soon as his hand reached halfway, he suddenly stopped and his movements solidified.

With a flash of thought, Li Heng suddenly thought of the murderous Anxi generals outside the door just now.

The emperor was in front of the emperor, and the military generals did not move at all. The weapons in their hands had not even been taken back into the sheath, and they were completely blinded by the emperor.

However, Gu Qing uttered a weak order in the room, and several generals immediately withdrew their troops and returned to the sheath, and honestly knelt down to the emperor.

So, what is handsome seal?

Handsome seal is nothing!

If you want to eliminate the threat from the Anxi Army forever, you will either capture all the morale of the Anxi Army soldiers and make them completely return to the emperor and the court, or you will kill all these people and leave the Anxi Army from top to the next, and the court's confidant troubles will be eliminated.

Handsome Seal? Haha, it’s just a child’s thing at this moment, and its function is not even as good as Gu Qing’s cough.

Does handing over the handsome seal mean that Gu Qing is really willing to hand over the military power?

The real military power lies not in this general's seal, but in Gu Qing's original heart.

Even if the general seal is handed over, Gu Qing's hint, the Anxi army can kill and set fire in Chang'an City and capture the inner city. Therefore, it is meaningless to share whether this general seal is handed over or not.

Li Heng slowly withdrew his hand, but the smile on his face was as gentle as spring.

"Gu Qing takes back the general seal first, and the Anxi Army will be controlled by you for the time being. This tiger and wolf army is not controlled by ordinary people. It is necessary for a hero like Gu Qing to shock tiger and wolf. There is no hurry to hand over military power for a while. Haha, I am not anxious, really not anxious."

Li Heng was not anxious, but Gu Qing was anxious and struggled to support half of his body, saying, "I have been named the Minister of State, and it is a big taboo to take charge of military power. I am loyal to Your Majesty. Your Majesty also asks you to accept the seal of the general and do not let the trapped ministers be unfaithful and unrighteous."

Li Heng smiled slightly on his face and MMP in his heart.

Sigh! Your mother is a maid!

You go and look in the mirror and see how hypocritical your face is now. If you are really loyal to me, you should immediately drink a pound of arsenic and be one of the immortals and smile at me. Only then can I believe in your loyalty.

Holding Gu Qing's hand with heartache, Li Heng's gaze was so gentle that he could pinch out the water, and he said affectionately: "Gu Qing, you really don't have to hurry up. The Anxi Army is in your control. I don't worry and believe you. Recover your wounds well and don't think about it. I will go to Guanyin Zen Temple outside the city tomorrow to pray for Gu Qing, begging God to let Gu Qing recover quickly and assist me in revitalizing the prosperous age."

Gu Qing's cheeks twitched unconsciously.

You are a maid, would you go to the Zen temple to pray for me?

Are you afraid that I would have died long ago when I went to the Zen temple to set up a temple, set up an altar, and draw circles and write peach talismans?

The raised body seemed to be very painful. Gu Qing frowned, endured the pain in his heart and breathed, saying, "Since Your Majesty insisted on not taking over the seal of the commander, I will hand over the military power after healing his injuries... However, the relocation of the generals of the Anxi Army in various places is urgent. I will order them to set off to take office tomorrow, so as not to delay the military and national affairs."

Li Heng hurriedly said, "You generals don't have to rush to leave Beijing and take up their posts. Let's talk about everything when Gu Qing's injury heals."

At this moment, Li Heng finally saw the essence of the whole thing clearly.

The essence is that if Gu Qing is unwilling to hand over the military power, it will be useless even if he handed over the generals of the Anxi Army from Chang'an.

The generals standing outside just now were all murderous intent, and they didn't take him seriously, as the emperor, at all. They could think of it with their butts. Will they honestly follow the orders and leave Anxi Army and Chang'an?

If Gu Qing really goes with the flow and asks them to leave Beijing and take office tomorrow, these powerful generals may cause a huge storm on the spot. It can be seen that there is no fuel-efficient in the Anxi army that Gu Qing concocted yesterday.

Instead of being caused by the generals of the Anxi Army at that time and damaging the power of the Tian family, it would be better to refuse Gu Qing's request now and let these wolves and tigers stay in Chang'an honestly and wait for the next appropriate opportunity to eliminate these disasters.

The two of them have their own ulterior motives, but on the surface, they push me and let me go. The king, saint, minister, and wise men respect each other as guests. If this picture is seen by others, it will be considered a ghost if the Tang Dynasty is not strong.

After giving in to each other for a while, the king and his minister had sufficient acting skills.

In the end, Gu Qing was really refusing, so he shyly welcomed the guest like a girl working in a hair washing room, half-covered the door, and accepted Li Heng's kindness with a urge to refuse.

The military power will not be handed over for the time being, and the generals under his command will not go to other places to take office for the time being.

It’s not that I don’t let go, it’s that the emperor has too much strength, I can’t help but refuse.

Gu Qing lay back on the bed, his face was quite regretful, just like a rich man who failed to buy orders with his friend after dinner. He was both regretful and unwilling to accept it. He pinched his wallet and showed hypocritical resentment, clamoring that he would let me come next time...

Li Heng's expression was also quite wonderful.

How does it feel to win by grabbing orders?

It is probably not necessarily all happy. The forced smile reveals a hint of anger at the other party.

Why are you no longer more powerful?
