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 this, who's love rival can still 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 will happen 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 through the night.
Thinking back along the way, 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 were going to be ruined by her, then Huangfu Qing really recognized that it was nothing to be inferior to others in terms of skills. Easy to say.
As for whether he will die or not... Tang Wanzhuang is certainly facing the odds, but where can dragon slayers like him be safe?
Who is not risking his life for his own ideals?
Over there, Tang Wanzhuang did not go directly to receive Wu Pinghou Qin Dingjiang. Instead, he untied Baoqin's acupuncture point and whispered: "Do you know how to do it?"
Baoqin pulled her sleeves and said reluctantly: "Miss... you come with us..."
Tang Wanzhuang rubbed her head: "Okay...when you see Zhao Changhe in the future, please tell him that I promised you to him, okay?"
Baoqin was furious: "You have the ability to marry yourself!"
After saying that, he ran away angrily and said as he ran: "Xu Xu, if Zhao Changhe were here, he would definitely ask you what qualifications you have to marry someone to him! Smelly bitches will make arrangements for others, you make arrangements for yourself first!"
After saying one sentence, he just 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 Division. 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 is Dingjiang 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 Mr. Xuan 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: "How can I be so fragile? It's not hard for a few nights. Just go ahead."
"Then I have to go and hand over the matter first, and I'll go with the leader first."
"good."
The two of them flew all the way to the palace gate. When the guards saw them, they bowed and saluted 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 Palace. 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 interesting.
He couldn't possibly 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, 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 couldn't replace all of Xia Longyuan. 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 it feels like... The reason why I cooperated with Huangfu Qing is because I didn't hide a little bit about Xiao Jiujiu. I hope that under our status, maybe we can still create sparks? Unfortunately, I could only think about it in my dreams, and soon I 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 key 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?”
He has no power in the world, and no beauty at his knees. This kind of "emperor" can't do as well as ordinary people. At least ordinary people can still marry a wife, but he can't.
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... What does Xiao Jiujiu want to hide from me?"
The fake was bitten by thousands of ants that time, and 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 he actually knew everything. He knew that Huangfu Qing wanted to deal with him, but he was quite tolerant, first for the sake of the Yanmen North Army, second for his little apology to the Four Elephants Sect, and third because he was confident that the Four Elephants Sect would not make any waves. The problem is that tolerating Huangfu Qing does not mean tolerating him. After this test, the double standard treatment completely made the fake lose the idea of fighting for his own rights and interests, and he just wanted to be a puppet.
He endured until today, and finally had the opportunity to strike back. Whether it was Xia Longyuan or Tang Wanzhuang who looked down on him.
Tang Wanzhuang and Qin Dingjiang had just walked to the door of the imperial study when the eunuch outside the door just announced: "The chief Tang of the Demon Suppression Division has arrived."
The fake's cold voice came from the imperial study: "The Gusu Tang family openly claimed to be king and rebelled. This is a serious crime of treason, and the evidence is solid. Capture Tang Wanzhuang immediately, search the Tang family in the capital, and execute the whole family!"
As he spoke, Qin Dingjiang, who had just been chatting and laughing with Tang Wanzhuang, suddenly attacked Tang Wanzhuang's back.
As a minister, Tang Wanzhuang seemed unable to resist, and this attack hit her directly.
The surroundings were stunned.
The fake was a warrior after all, and his practice was not weak. This "golden words" spread far away, and the nearby imperial guards, eunuchs, and even the foreign ministers who stayed overnight in the outer palace, proofreaders, and other civil servants all heard it, and they were shocked inside and outside!
These people don't know that this is a fake, and they all think it is the real will...
It is not certain whether the Tang family rebelled or not. It is just a rumor, which needs to be investigated and even fought for. How can it be concluded like this?
Even if the Tang family is determined to rebel, Tang Wanzhuang cannot be implicated. Who doesn't know that Tang Wanzhuang is firmly opposed? At most, she will be dismissed. If you kill Tang Wanzhuang, is there any hope for the world? Do you know how many people are still working for the empire because of Tang Wanzhuang? Many people know that there is no future, but they insist on being touched by Tang Wanzhuang's personality charm, just like Li Si'an and others. There are many such people, and they are the last guardians of the empire.
You killed Tang Wanzhuang, which is more outrageous than Zhao Gou killing Wu Mu. You want to disperse all the last loyalty of the empire!
How dare you make such a self-destructive order!
There are those who can see the air, and they can almost see that the dragon air lingering above the palace disappeared in an instant, without leaving any.
In the stunned silence, Tang Wanzhuang, who seemed to be restrained, sighed: "I knew it was the fuse. The world's energy has long been shaken, and this final critical blow should be on me, Tang Wanzhuang. I can't kill you yet, because if the news of Tang Wanzhuang's regicide spreads, the effect will be the same. This is an unsolvable problem."
No one spoke in the imperial study, but Qin Dingjiang retreated in shock: "You... the acupoints were not hit?"
Tang Wanzhuang's face blushed slightly.
Someone kissed and practiced dual cultivation, so of course he had to teach her how to practice dual cultivation. She also read the Maitreya teachings and naturally learned the shape-shifting and acupoint-changing techniques.
But she didn't expect it to be used here.
