As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 355 Loyal ministers drink hatred
Before he finished speaking, King Qiyang coughed repeatedly.

The servant quickly slapped King Qiyang on the back to help him calm down.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao looked at each other and waited quietly for King Qiyang's situation to ease a little, before Yun Qi asked again: "You all know?"

King Qiyang nodded with great effort, "Jingran has been ambitious since he was a child. He is unwilling to live in Qiyang Villa and only enjoy a little wealth. He always wants to be a person with power and the power of life and death..."

"But power in this world is not so easy to grasp. It requires constant planning, struggle, calculation, and luck."

"Sometimes, even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, you may not get what you want. Although he doesn't believe it, he must take that path. It's just that I am old and weak and have been ill for a long time. Although I have the intention, I can't stop him from embarking on that path of no return."

"I, Prince Qiyang, have been loyal to you all my life, but now my reputation is completely ruined because of him..."

"I..." King Qiyang choked up and said, "I know that he is responsible for the crimes he committed. He will be unforgivable even if he is killed. He will not be able to explain to the world unless he kills his entire family."

"Everyone in the Qi family is not afraid of death, but not all the descendants of the Qi family are Qi Jingran's generation... Please ask His Highness King Dingxi to write this for me, and I will write this to Your Majesty with tears in my eyes... Ahem..."

Xie Zhaozhao turned to the table. Xuanming saw that she was about to carry the table, so he quickly came to help and sent the desk and the Four Treasures of the Study to Prince Qiyang's table.

"it is good."

Yun Qi stood up and went to the table, picked up his pen and said, "Old Prince, please speak."

"I... I... chased Qi Jingran out of the clan. The things he committed were his own fault... but the Qi family did not supervise him well, and the old ministers taught him no harm, but it was difficult to atone for his sins, so he was crushed and thrown into ashes without any complaints!"

"But the loyalty of an old minister can be demonstrated by heaven and earth, and can be learned from the sun and moon..."

He originally wanted to ask Emperor Xuanwu to preserve the reputation of the Qi family, but suddenly he understood that even if the nine clans were condemned to death, they would not be able to quell the public resentment and anger. If the entire clan died, what would be the point of preserving the reputation after death?

He was originally a county magistrate in the former dynasty, but he had no ambition, but he encountered a corrupt imperial court, collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion between officials and bandits, and the deprivation of the common people.

He had great ambitions but could not rest until he met Emperor Xuanwu and followed him in the uprising. Together they conquered the world and saved the world.

He was older than Emperor Xuanwu. He had more qualifications in the rebel army and was more convinced by others. Precisely because he was older and lived a more transparent life than others, he understood that in addition to the supreme rights, There are also countless responsibilities and obligations.

Let the world be at peace, the people be happy, and the seas and rivers be clear.

And he believed that he did not have the courage to shoulder those responsibilities and obligations, so he retreated behind Emperor Xuanwu to support and support him.

And after the world is settled, he will retire after success.

But who would have thought that until death, there would be no guarantee of death.

He helped Emperor Xuanwu establish a new court during his military career, attacked the powerful and promoted the poor, and helped the poor and saved the people from the fire. However, his son committed such a horrific crime.

Suddenly, King Qiyang burst into tears and shouted in a hissing voice: "The traitor must be punished - punished -"

When the words fell, King Qiyang fell stiffly onto the old servant.

Xie Zhaozhao quickly stepped forward to check, only to see that he was dead, with tears in his eyes, but his eyes were staring at the void, filled with regret and unwillingness.

The servant next to him had already burst into tears, and the other servants in the courtyard who were looking after King Qiyang's daily life also fell to their knees silently, crying silently.

Xie Zhaozhao felt sour and depressed in his heart, and there were some tears in his eyes.

Although this hero of a different surname who helped found the Qin Dynasty passed away, he never closed his eyes.

Yun Qi put down his pen and walked over, helped King Qiyang close his eyes, and personally helped King Qiyang lie back on the bed. He ordered in a deep voice: "Send this memorial [-] miles to the capital as quickly as possible."

……

King Qiyang was the founding father of the Qin Dynasty and had outstanding contributions. When he died, the entire Qiyang Villa became pure.

Lu Hanqiu once asked, should we believe the words of King Qiyang? If he said he didn't know, he didn't know. What if he knew the information but did not report it, and cried out in tears when he died, which made Emperor Xuanwu feel benevolent and let the Qi family go?Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi both looked at him after hearing this.

Lu Hanqiu was stunned for a moment and said: "I just speculated based on common sense. After all... I have seen many people who committed crimes struggle when they were about to die."

"Yes." Yun Qi nodded, "No matter how heinous the crime is, you may not be able to help but struggle when you are about to die. This is human nature."

"King Qiyang is also a human being, and he has human nature. I'm not sure whether he knew it and refused to report it, but I believe that he cried blood and wrote every word from his heart. His loyalty to the Qin Dynasty can be seen from the sun and the moon."

Lu Hanqiu nodded: "I believe it too."

It's a pity that there is a rebellious son in the family.

Yun Qi added: "As for the matter of the armored soldiers, the evidence will explain everything. As long as Qi Jingran and related people are caught, everything will naturally come to light. How to deal with the Qi family members will also be determined by law. Grandpa Huang has made a holy decision. "

Lu Hanqiu said nothing more.

Xie Zhaozhao has been quiet all the time. The incident at Qiyang Villa had a great impact on her, so much so that she had been tense mentally and emotionally in the past few days, unable to relax at all.

Now I am still trying to figure out Qi Jingran's whereabouts.

"I remember."

Suddenly, Xie Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, "That concubine of his, Mrs. Lu!"

After saying that, Xie Zhaozhao walked quickly towards the backyard. Yun Qi motioned for Xuan Jing and others to follow him, and then said to Lu Hanqiu: "The affairs of Qiyang Villa are extremely involved, and most officials in Qizhou officialdom cannot escape their involvement. , you have recently conducted a comprehensive investigation and written a memorial as soon as possible and submitted it to the capital."

"Yes!"

……

Qi Jingran's concubine, the Lu family, lived in a secluded courtyard.

Lu was beautiful, but a bit silly. It was said that someone else gave her to Qi Jingran. Qi Jingran also liked her for a few days, but eventually he couldn't stand the beauty and got tired of her.

Mrs. Lu gave birth to a daughter, who is only seven years old this year.

Xie Zhaozhao met Lu yesterday and asked her about everything. She seemed to be a little stupid. She didn't know why in the past few years. She also had mental problems and talked nonsense. No one took what she said to heart. .

When Xie Zhaozhao entered the courtyard, Mrs. Lu smiled stupidly: "Beautiful girl, you are here again!"

Although Lu's brain is not good, God treats her well. Her face is really beautiful, and the years have never left any traces on her face. And she has a pair of innocent eyes, and she looks at people with a simple expression. Stupid.

A charming face with an innocent expression...

Xie Zhaozhao could understand why Qi Jingran accepted this brainless beauty.

"Yes, I came to see you." Xie Zhaozhao stepped forward and said warmly: "I heard you talk about the young master yesterday. I thought about it when I went back and found it very interesting, so I came to see you again."

Mrs. Lu beamed: "Yeah, I think it's interesting too, but they all shake their heads and say I'm talking nonsense... There is obviously a young master, and I often meet that young master."

Xie Zhaozhao followed suit and asked: "What kind of young master?"

"A good-looking young master." Lu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Very good-looking."

Xie Zhaozhao asked patiently: "Are you older? Compared with the master, are you older or younger? Do you have a beard?"

"No." Lu shook his head and said, "He looks like the third young master."
