As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately understood where Zheng Qi's heart knots were, so he persuaded him earnestly: "Civilization you are in the academy, just give full play to your strengths and share my worries." Don't forget that you are the second Jinshi in the thirteenth year of the Great Calendar, and then you are the dignified secretary of the secret province, all the way up to the capital, Lu Jiu will take your way forward in the future, and after Lu Jiu worships a certain servant, you can enter the house to continue to make an edict for me, so that it is only a few years, and you can also go to the palace of the minister, from the inside to the outside, and rule the court. Now you want to go to a place like Nanzhao with a festival, how can you be so unkind to cherish the body of Qingyu? ”

But Zheng Qi just choked up and cried, and seemed to be very determined.

The emperor wondered if it was because of your father-in-law's relationship, and then he comforted Zheng Qi and said, I have never hated the house and Wu, and you have been in the academy for several years, and your conduct has always been virtuous, cautious and serious, and you have never revealed the king's words.

Besides, if you go to Yunnan, because your uncle Zheng Hui of the same sect is there, you can show your strengths, and you can play a role in negotiating with Yunnan, it must be Wei Gao, who is the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, and I know that Wei Gao is your father-in-law's son-in-law, but you have never been in harmony with the same water and fire, you go to Yunnan, and you want to be in the same situation as Ma Sui and Yuan Tongzhi.

At this, the emperor suddenly realized that he had slipped out of his mouth, and immediately stopped continuing.

And Zheng Qi's ears rounded, and he heard the clues in the emperor's words, but after all, he had also been immersed in the academy for several years, knowing that even if he heard some words, he would pretend not to know, so he immediately said: "Now that the imperial court is committed to conquering Xifan, it is necessary to isolate Xifan, so it is necessary to return to Yunnan in the north and Yunnan in the south. As for Wei Jieshuai, he guarded Xichuan and had a magnificent bearing, and he would never make things difficult for his ministers in Yunnan. ”

The emperor was both moved and embarrassed by these words, "According to the usual practice, when the bachelor is discharged from the hospital, he is often the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the Servant of the Ministry of Rites or the Imperial History Zhongcheng (Mr. Cen Zhongmian pointed out that since the Middle and Tang Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy has been a 'place of the prime minister', but it is not a formal official position, and it has no official rank, so it is necessary to bring him to the official position to promote the official qualifications. It is very likely that he will be discharged from the hospital directly as the prime minister, but he will not bring the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter of the Ministry of Officials, because the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the tribute, and the waiter of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of selection, and he must be responsible for specific affairs, and his status is very important and sensitive, so once the bachelor of Hanlin is awarded the rite waiter, the servant, or the imperial history Zhongcheng, the next step must be discharged immediately, and he will no longer serve in the Hanyuan), but you have just moved to the Ministry of Works, Tuntian Shilang, if I am moving you to the waiter, I am afraid that it is not in line with the order of the court's class. ”

Zheng Qi said impassionedly that if the minister did not seek the promotion of the court, he could send an envoy to Yunnan in the name of the school leader.

The emperor finally made a decision, I will immediately send an embassy to secretly contact Yunnan, plot against them, and let them separate from Xifan, and then check the military department and the treasury Shilang to join the group, and go to the capital of Shu in Xichuan, and then coexist with Wei Gao to discuss the plan.

When you return from civilization, I will promote you to succeed Gao Ying, and pay tribute to the Ministry of Rites.

Just when Zheng Qi was about to be discharged from the hospital, Ban Hong, the envoy sent by the Tang court to Huaixi, had also arrived in Yancheng.

Ban Hong's imminent arrival made the Caizhou Military Mansion uneasy.

Behind the curtains of the mansion and the cloister, every few steps, stood the tooth soldiers in armor and with swords, each looking uncertain, pacing up and down with the hilt of the sword, their eyes fixed on the buildings of the military palace, waiting for the exact news to come out.

Outside the Yabing Courtyard, more Huaixi soldiers surrounded them, looking at the fluttering festival at the military gate, gossiping and shouting.

In the middle hall of the house, Wu Shaocheng sat on the rope bed, and his brother-in-law Wu Shaoyang pulled the saber out of the sheath violently, and both of them stared at the short Li Yuanping viciously, "In the past, I listened to your pleading, instigated the soldiers to imprison Chen Xianqi and his wife Dou Shi, and sent Wu Fachao to lead the anti-autumn soldiers, counting on the Guanghong monk to join forces and attack the capital Chang'an. But now Guanghong was beheaded, Wu Fachao was killed, Zhang Chongjing was also beheaded after being captured in Jingshi Gouzhiling, and the confession before his death involved us and others - the imperial court broke Xifan, and the momentum was high, and the envoy was sent to ask for the guilt, which made me feel like a pins and needles, how is it good? It's better to kill your head, sacrifice it to Ban Hong, and apologize to the court. ”

Li Yuanping laughed, "Yuanping will be killed today, Caizhou's heart is shaking, how can Chen Xianqi forgive you two after he is saved?" At that time, the imperial court will not need to have a single soldier, as long as Ban Hong reads out the will, even if your Wu brothers have the ability to fly to the sky and escape to the earth, I am afraid that they will not live three more days than Yuan Ping. ”

The Wu brothers were silent about what they said, and Wu Shaoyang continued to ask Li Yuanping for a long time, where should we go in Caizhou Town now?

"It's not that hard." Li Yuanping proposed, I Huaixi is surrounded by the imperial court Shannan Dongdao, Chen Xu, Eyue, Huainan Zhufang towns, the situation seems to be dangerous, but it is adjacent to the imperial court Caoyun throat, and the whole body is moved, but the surface surrenders to the imperial court, secretly to seek the assistance of Ziqing and Wei Bo, and advance and retreat together, the imperial court is now focusing on the northwest, there are Xifan, the problem of rebellion and Qiang needs to be dealt with urgently, and it is impossible to crusade to the east against my Huaixi for a while, as long as the Cai people are stubbornly united, the imperial court will be helpless against me, "The two can not Shenguang Cai Sanzhou, 300,000 people, A single edict was subject to the imperial court. ”

"What about Chen Xianqi in prison?" Wu Shaocheng asked.

"Ban Hong must be killed before he comes, otherwise he will be given the imperial court." Li Yuanping said coldly.

Erwu looked at each other and asked, "What if the imperial court accuses me of waiting for the case of the monk Guanghong and trying to commit rebellion?" ”

"This matter is easy to hear, the anti-autumn soldiers and horses also fled back to three or four hundred soldiers, beheaded them all, and sent their heads to Banhong in Yanshi City, saying that the rebellion was all done by Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing, I don't know, so I beheaded all the rebellious soldiers and apologized to the court." Li Yuanping's words were even more heartfelt at the moment.

In the dungeon in the Caizhou Military Mansion, several tooth soldiers who came to execute stood outside the iron bar.

Chen Xianqi and his wife Dou Shi, who were detained inside, saw that the situation was not right, and couldn't help but angrily scold Wu Shaocheng, Wu Shaoyang and Li Yuanping, "All of them are wolves and thieves with ambitions, disobey the Holy Lord, and sooner or later the imperial court will be so big that they will crush Caizhou into powder......

The tooth soldiers rushed into the prison, first killed Chen Xianqi, then killed his wife and children, and then took advantage of the night to cover the body with a straw mat, pull it with a calf cart, and bury it in a mass grave outside the city, saying that Chen's family was infected and died violently.

Three days later, under the Yancheng, along the direction of Rushui, rowed many boats, and the imperial court envoy Ban Hong came to watch, and couldn't help but be very angry:

The cabin was filled with a mountain of bloody heads.
