The queen must start from the head

Chapter 58 Situation Change

The Imperial City of Northern Qi.

The monarch Li Tianming rested comfortably on the queen's pair of jade legs, and the queen was gently kneading the acupuncture points on both sides of his head for him.A bright yellow silk curtain was hung around the bed, and a servant was kneeling outside the tent.

"Calculating the time, the Zhennan City Tribute Academy has already started the exam, right?"

Hearing the monarch's question, the servant replied, "Report to Your Majesty, the exam has already started for a quarter of an hour."

Li Tianming's closed eyelids never opened, and he wondered to himself, has the provincial examination started for a quarter of an hour?Based on the temper of those old stubborn donkeys in Zhennan City, I'm afraid Mu Lian's test will not be easy!

However, with the various methods she showed earlier, that group of people may not be able to defeat her.If she is allowed to pass the provincial examination in the end, I am afraid that the court will have no peace again.

The monarch continued to ask, "Is there any news from Tianhai City?"

The servant paused for a moment, and then said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the latest message from the Falcon has arrived, saying that a large red cloud appeared in the sky of Tianhai City, and the people began to rush out of the city..." He was somewhat dissatisfied with the following content. Dare to continue.

The monarch seemed to realize something, he immediately got up from the queen's lap, and ordered, "Hurry up and get the letter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant quickly stepped back.

Not long after, he took the letter from Tianhai City and presented it to the king.

While the king was reading the letter, the queen stood quietly aside.

This secret letter was written by Yan Tao, the prefect of Tianhai City, with his own blood. It was said that when the sky was getting dark yesterday, a large number of blood-colored red clouds appeared in the sky east of Tianhai City. The people in the city fled in panic, causing a large number of casualties.

There were also many unidentified people who took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot in the city, committing all kinds of evil.Fortunately, yesterday there was a blind young man in a blue robe who had already eliminated many people with evil intentions lurking in the city, otherwise the city would have been a scene of rivers of blood by now.

"...The earth cracked, the wind and clouds changed, fireballs fell from the sky, and the people in the city were killed and injured countless times. Your Majesty, Tianhai City is also the king's land! The people in the city are also the king's subjects! The humble minister is rebellious, and now I risk my life to remonstrate with a blood letter. I beg your Majesty to send troops to save the people in this city! Even though I almost died, I still have no regrets!"

This letter written in blood can be described as tears of blood every word, and Li Tianming's hands trembled slightly.

However, after he read the letter, he folded it up and placed it on the soft couch beside him, as if he was not moved by it.

"I heard that the Sancai Bookstore in the city was robbed?"

The kneeling servant wondered why His Majesty didn't continue to ask about Tianhai City, but instead asked about what happened in the Imperial City.However, the king's intentions are not something that a servant like him can guess.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is such a thing. Just yesterday, General Wu's daughter took people to the Sancai Bookstore, and took away all the books inside in sacks, and also took away a shopkeeper inside."

"Where are those books now?"

"I heard that it was Prime Minister Bi who came forward and said that Sancai Bookshop was making ill-gotten gains, so he gave those books to the major bookshops in the city..." The chamberlain was about to say Prime Minister Bi's name. , he hesitated a little.

Before he could plead guilty for this, the monarch had already charged the case, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he yelled angrily, "You bastard!"

The queen quickly moved from the bed to the ground and knelt down. She pulled the monarch's robe and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

The other maids in the hall also knelt down in fear, shouting the same words.

The monarch looked at his wife who was hugging his legs in front of him, and asked coldly, "Yurong, I remember that your family also has more than ten bookstores in the imperial city, right? Prime Minister Bi kindly gave books to everyone, do you also accept them? Arrived a lot?"

When the queen heard the words, her complexion paled immediately, she let go of the hand holding the monarch's leg, then lowered her head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I don't know...".

"Sancai's fall just happened to feed you other bookstores in the imperial city. From this point of view, Bi Cheng has kindness towards you all! Next, do you want to join hands to overthrow the widow's throne? !" The monarch's face was blue and purple, and his anger had obviously risen to the extreme.

The queen didn't dare to look up at him, bent down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I don't dare! Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I have always been loyal to you and never have the slightest thought of betrayal!"

However, only she knew how much honesty and respect meant in these words.

After all, the prince of the East Palace, who was born by the queen, is now twenty years old, and has not yet been allowed by his father to take part in politics.The queen said that she was not in a hurry, but she was in a hurry in her heart.

The monarch seemed to have never heard of the queen's explanation.

He stood up straight away, dressed neatly, and left the palace where the queen was.He did not go to the imperial study, but went directly to the residence of the Supreme Emperor.

Since the Taishanghuang had a battle with Mu Lianyue a few days ago and was seriously injured by the latter and sent back to the palace, no one in the palace has seen the Taishanghuang again.Although the monarch still went to see the Supreme Emperor every morning and evening, there was still a terrible rumor in the palace: the Supreme Emperor, because of the serious injuries that night, had actually passed away.

One must know that the Sixteen Kingdoms are currently competing for the throne, and the Supreme Emperor who possesses the strength of a great master is no different from the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Northern Qi Kingdom's royal family.

If this magic needle really fell, not to mention the other princes' congresses eyeing Northern Qi and even sending troops to attack, especially Song, which had fought against Northern Qi not long ago.Even those demonic forces in the country will also emerge to disrupt the court.

After the monarch had a quarrel with the queen, shortly after he went to the residence of the overlord, a little skylark with emerald yellow feathers flew out of the palace, circling around and stopping, and finally flew into the prime minister's mansion.

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bi Ying scanned the secret letter he had just received, and then passed it on to the five sons standing in front of him.

After the five brothers read the secret letter, they all remained silent.

Bi Ying leaned her whole body on the grand teacher's chair covered with ice silk, she tapped the table with her fingers and said, "There are rumors in the palace that the Supreme Emperor has passed away. Zhen'er, you might as well infer whether the Supreme Emperor is dead or not." Are you still alive?"

Bi Zhen was the eldest son of Prime Minister Bi Ying. He was 32 years old at the time, but he had already taken the position of supreme commander of the imperial city guards. He could be called young and promising.

He frowned with thick eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess, the Supreme Emperor is still alive."

When Bi Zhen said this, the other four sons were shocked, especially Bi Wen, who was the youngest, looked at his elder brother and said, "Why did you say that?"

Bi Zhen said, "I don't have any evidence, it's just a feeling. I feel too emperor, but he is not dead. Maybe the news in the palace was intentionally spread by His Majesty, and the purpose is to catch some people with evil intentions. "

"Papa..." Biying took the lead in applauding with a smile on his face. He looked at Wuzi and said, "Zhen'er is right. I have received conclusive news that the Supreme Emperor is not dead, not even injured. This matter is indeed His Majesty's suspicion."

If the monarch could hear what the prime minister said, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.The leaky news he thought he had hidden, and the seamless puzzle he thought he had arranged, had already been seen through by his opponents.

Bi Ying then asked, "Then do you know why I cut off the large number of books from Sancai Bookstore Road from Wu Mu and gave them to the major bookstores in the city without taking any money? Even the Queen's family's books The bookstore is not missing either?"

This time, the second son Bihan stood up and replied, "Father, Han'er has some ideas, and I don't know what to do. The Sancai Bookstore originally had a prosperous business, and it has long been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many bookstores in the city. The bookstore bought his books, asked others to copy them, and then sold them at a low price, and the business of Sancai Bookstore plummeted. Immediately afterwards, Wu Mu led his people to clean up Sancai Bookstore completely. This move can be said to completely wipe out the bookstore. Roots. And these looted books were distributed to the major bookstores in the city, and even the queen’s natal family got a piece of the pie. There is nothing to do, no one can be punished, after all, the law does not blame the public. As for you, father, you are only a middleman in it, and you will not be implicated, and the imperial city bookstore and many scholars who have benefited from the city will only be grateful Hello! It can be said to serve multiple purposes."

In Bi Han's remark, he missed one person, Wu Mu, the daughter of the Great General Wu Konghou.Maybe it's because he thinks that with Mulian's strength and background, she can't compete with the Zhen Guo General's Mansion.

Bi Ying nodded and said, "Han'er is wise, and guessed half of his father's intention."

Bi Han, who was about to brag about himself, heard this, the smile on his face went out before it could bloom, his head drooped, and he didn't say a word.

At this time, Bi Ying slowly stood up from the chair of the grand master, looked at the five sons in front of him with sharp eyes like eagles, and said in a deep voice, "You all know that the Great Qin Kingdom far to the north is one of the sixteen kingdoms today. The strongest one. Two days ago, I received a secret message that the Great Qin Kingdom will soon go south. The King of Qin wants to wipe out the southern countries, unify the world, and reproduce the vast territory and prosperity of the Great Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago The storm is coming, as a father, there is no time to continue the game of Junyouchengong with the palace. The time left for us is running out! From now on, my Bi family must unite everything that can be united Strength, accumulate your own strength, and wait for the day when you break the cocoon!"

The five sons of the Bi family were all shocked when they heard the words. Their father's words gave them some guesses and expectations.Perhaps, the Bi family will achieve unparalleled glory in the hands of their generation!
The general situation of the world has begun to change, and who will know who will win and win in the end?
