The loyal and wise old prime minister

After receiving the order from the Queen Mother, the military guards pushed aside the crowd and walked straight towards Old Prime Minister Qian.

The imperial edict in his hand happened to be posted on the bulletin board, and the imperial edict was clearly covered with the royal seal of the Yan family. Naturally, no one dared to offend Tianwei and rashly take the edict down again.

A military guard went up and grabbed Prime Minister Qian Lao, twisting his arms behind his back. Qian Lao couldn't stand still and almost fell down.

How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Qian?

The literati and bachelors around me did not follow him.

Someone had the courage to say, "What are you doing? Are you so rude to Mr. Gan?"

Once one voice was raised, more responses soon followed.

The crowd came over, stopped the guard, and scolded him severely for his rude behavior.

The military guard obviously did not expect that these people would challenge an old man in the street.

At that moment, he gave everyone a fierce look, pulled out the sword from his waist, and said sternly, "We are doing things impartially, do you still want to obstruct official business?"

Unexpectedly, more people flocked up to surround him, and each one said, "Master Jun, what is going on? At such an old age, Qian Lao can't stand the torment, so you should be gentler. "

"Why is official business so violent? You are the one trying the prisoner?"

"To be disrespectful to Mr. Qian means to be disrespectful to the scholars in the world. I can't stand you roughnecks who wield swords and guns."

As soon as there were more people, the topic became confusing and even escalated to a position attack.

The military guard's throat was filled with foam, and he didn't know who he was spraying at the moment.

It seems that he is a small soldier who has not heard anything about Mr. Qian, and now he has hit the barrel of a gun.

Then an older military guard came over. He coughed twice and pretended to be angry and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you just let go?"

The two people looked at each other, and then the military guard let go of Qian Lao.

The older military guard put on a flattering smile and said to the old prime minister, "Prime Minister, the Queen Mother has invited me. Please don't embarrass us. Can you walk this way?"

Qian Lao raised his head and glanced at him sideways, snorted from his nostrils, put his hands behind his back, and followed their army slowly.

In this way, the group of people in the market who were aggrieved by Qian Lao were settled.

After Mr. Qian left, everyone dispersed under the driving of the military guards, and the market once again felt depressed and deserted.

The bright yellow imperial edict is there on the bulletin board. Every word on it is written with bright red blood. The jade seal mark in the lower right corner is so clear and majestic.

Not long after, Qian Lao was sent to the side hall of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The Queen Mother came in from the side hall, and people followed her.

"Lao Qian, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?"

Her tone was gloomy and unkind, mixed with sneers and threats.

The elder Qian bowed to the Queen Mother in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and said calmly, "Thanks to the Queen Mother, I still have one life left."

This statement is truly glaringly ironic.

If it weren't for King Qi's pretentiousness, he would not be the only one who would still be alive.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but clenched the jade hands in her sleeves, and her soft and narrow eyelids suddenly narrowed, causing the corners of her eyes to become sharp and sharp in an instant.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being a veteran of three dynasties. Although he is old, his steel frame is still strong."

She praised her three times in a row, and her face became more and more ugly.

"It's just that the Ai family still wants to give you some advice. If you can help my son, the Qian family will continue to be prosperous for decades or even longer."

"If you are stubborn, how can you let go of your grandchildren?"

The Queen Mother used a soft voice to describe the viciousness of "those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish". Listening to each word, one can feel chills running down one's spine.

When Qian Lao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He established himself as a loyal and virtuous man and served the country for more than fifty years without any selfish motives.

Now, if they are coerced and succumb to King Qi, the reputation of the Qian family will be completely ruined, and what will happen to the family's reputation?

If it's just superficial glory and wealth, then what's the use of it?

As for his grandchildren.

He even made a good choice.

Since he took the initiative to take over His Majesty's imperial edict, it means that he has already anticipated what will happen today.

If King Qi really angered the entire Qianfu because of this, couldn't the people in the world still not understand King Qi's conduct as a person, and why couldn't they understand the so-called: there is no excuse for incriminating someone?

He shook his head slightly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

When the Queen Mother saw him like this, she knew that nice words would not work, so she couldn't help but scolded him coldly, "Old man, you really don't know what to do!"

He turned around and shouted to the outside, "Here comes someone! Take him to the Aijia and execute him on the spot!"

From the moment the military guards came in, to the moment they took hold of Gan Lao's arm and dragged him out, Gan Lao's expression did not show any signs of movement.

He still raised his chin slightly and closed his eyes proudly.

At this time, the retainer who came to visit King Qi was passing through the side hall. Hearing the noise inside that the Queen Mother was about to kill the old Prime Minister, he couldn't help but step in and say something.

"The common people bow to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is happy."

The Queen Mother glanced at him and saw that he was a retainer who often had contact with King Qi. She straightened her shoulders and put away her angry expression.

He said casually, "What's the matter?"

The retainer stood up and advised, "The Queen Mother, you can't kill the old Prime Minister!"

"What?"

She frowned, her beautiful and slender brows already frowning, and she was angry but also a little confused.

The retainer quickly explained, "Lao Qian is a veteran of three dynasties. He is respected by people all over the country and respected by all the learned people in the world."

"Now that the Queen Mother hastily cut off her life, doesn't it make the world angry and chilling?"

"In this way, King Qi will be pushed to the forefront."

He carefully checked the Queen Mother's slightly changed expression before continuing to speak freely.

"Not to mention chilling the hearts of all the wise men in the world, no one will dare to serve King Qi from now on. If someone in the outer city causes trouble with this and recruits troops to revolt, I'm afraid everyone in the world will respond!"

"The common people naturally know that King Qi's power cannot be shaken by ordinary people, but if this happens, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble for themselves?"

After all the words were said, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Although King Qi does not have much popular support, he is afraid of losing popular support!

If there was a mass uprising, wouldn't it be a bit more difficult to resist than Yan Yunxiao?

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and she turned her head to focus on this guest, looking up and down.

Needless to say, I feel unwilling to do so.

But right now, her precious son is still recovering from illness, and she must not let anything go wrong again.

The red lips moved and then she asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

The retainer smiled and said, "Since Mr. Gan is unwilling to serve King Chuqi, then he will not be able to serve His Majesty."

As he spoke, he made a circle with his hand.

"The Queen Mother has an excuse to imprison him and that will put an end to the matter."

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and thought for a moment before making up her mind.

She dismissed the guests with a wave of her sleeves, and quickly issued an order to send him back to his old home to spend his old age on the grounds that he was too old.

Accompanying him were two groups of military guards.

The Queen Mother made no secret of her intention to imprison, and even took the life of Elder Qian to control the entire family in Qian's Mansion.

In this way, Qianfu and Laozhai fell into the hands of King Qi.
