"Da da da……"

A clatter of horse hooves sounded in front of a mansion in Yongdu City, and along with it appeared a simple-looking carriage.

Seeing this carriage appear in sight, the waiter waiting in front of the mansion didn't dare to be lazy at all, and quickly came to the carriage.

The reason why these waiters were so cautious was not because of anything else, but precisely because the owner of this carriage was Qian Long, the senior official who was the most powerful person in the Qin State today.

These awe-inspiring waiters hurried to the carriage to wait. What they didn't expect was that the doctor Qianlong, who used to get off the carriage when it stopped, showed no sign of showing up today.

Looking at the carriage that had been parked in front of them for a long time without any movement, these waiters gradually became a little doubtful, but all they could do was wait silently.

At this moment, Qianlong inside the carriage did not know the doubts in the minds of the waiters outside the carriage.

But even if he knew it, he had no intention to pay attention to it, just because his thoughts at the moment did not return to the mansion, but still remained in the Qin Palace.

The conversation he had just had with Qin Gong Ying Shixi emerged word by word in Qianlong's mind, and a sense of sadness emerged in his heart along with the scenes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

I don't know how long time passed. Amidst the inexplicable calls, Qianlong's thoughts returned to the carriage in reality.

Looking at the extremely familiar scene in front of him, Qianlong somehow felt that everything was so strange.

Uncertainly, he opened the curtain of the carriage carriage and slowly put his feet on the ground. Under the somewhat bewildered eyes of the waiters around him, Qianlong walked step by step towards the mansion.

The waiters who wanted to help but were pushed away looked at the old man they had served for many years in their field of vision, and somehow felt that this figure today seemed so strange.

After spending several times more time than usual, Qianlong finally walked along the road in the mansion back to his own study.

After that, Qianlong locked himself in the study alone and did not allow anyone in the house to disturb him, even if this person was his own son.

After just sitting silently in the study for a few words, Qianlong's expression was extremely calm. At the same time, the scenes of his past acquaintance with Qin Gong Ying Shixi seemed to appear before his eyes.

In the past, when Ying Shixi, as the prince of Duke Linggong, returned to the country with his army to seize the throne, it was Qianlong who led the courtiers and families who took the initiative to go out of the city to welcome him to the throne.

In the past, when Ying Shixi was worried about the chaos under his rule in Qin, it was Qianlong who took the initiative to propose the law of "stop and die".

For more than twenty years, Qianlong has been fulfilling his duties as the senior official of the Qin State and doing his best to assist Ying Shixi, the Duke of Qin.

In fact, Qianlong had never thought before that when Qin Gong Yingshi Xi was seriously ill and was about to die soon, he would take himself away from this world with him.

After assisting the Qin government for more than twenty years, Qianlong's connections and prestige in the court were not comparable to those of the new king who was about to succeed him.

Faced with this situation of a weak leader and a strong minister, the previous generation of monarchs would definitely do something for their successors.

There are countless examples of this throughout the ages.

For example, why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in later generations kill Lady Gou Yi, the biological mother of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty? Wasn't it because he was too suppressed by Empress Dowager Dou, so he wanted to eliminate this hidden danger for his son?

Another example is why Emperor Hongwu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, set off the Lan Yu rebellion. Isn't it because the prince Zhu Biao died early and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen was weak?

Moving the vision from later generations to the past, Qin Mugong saw that his son Che was dying, and the three worthy sons of the Che family, Zhong Xing and Zhen Hu, were buried, which attracted people all over the world to express their dissatisfaction.

Isn't it possible that Duke Mu of Qin was afraid that the Zi Che family had many talented people and was too powerful in the Qin court, so he borrowed sacrifices to weaken their power and ensure that the new king, Duke Kang of Qin, could successfully take charge of the Qin government?

With such a lesson learned from the past, Qianlong was actually not that surprised at what Qin Gong Ying Shixi did today.

He was just a little sad. The friendship between the king and his subjects for more than twenty years was really not worth talking about in front of the king's power.

I don't know how much time passed, but the images in his mind gradually disappeared, and Qianlong, who was already heartbroken, began to sing the famous song "Yellow Bird".

Cross the yellow bird and stop at the thorn. Who follows Duke Mu? Zicha is dying. He is dying, which is the characteristic of a hundred husbands. When he comes to his hole, he is worried about his chestnuts. The sky in the sky will annihilate my beloved! If it can be redeemed,

, people have their own bodies!

…

Once, twice, three times...

I don’t know how many times this sad and somewhat sad poem sounded in the room, but it was finally interrupted by a knocking sound.

"Knock knock knock..."

Slowly calming down the thoughts in his heart, his eyes gradually became clear, and Qianlong asked in a deep voice toward the door, "What's the matter?"

"To report to the master, the eunuch in the palace has ordered a group of guards to come here, saying that they have something to see the master under the orders of the emperor."

When the waiter outside the door just finished his reply, Qianlong's heart suddenly sank. At this moment, he seemed to have met his own end.

"It came so quickly."

After muttering lightly to himself, Qianlong stood up after a few cases, and under the waiter's service, he changed into a set of dark clothes that were only worn on important occasions.

Holding his usual crutch in his right hand, and carefully arranging his clothes with his left hand, Qianlong stood upright in front of the study door.

Not long after, the eunuch order in the waiter's mouth appeared in front of you, leading a group of Qin palace guards wearing strong armor.

"I'll wait to see the doctor."

"You don't need to be polite." After the greetings, Qian Long braced himself and asked the people in front of him: "I wonder why your Majesty sent you to come to my residence?"

Facing Qian Long's question, the eunuch Ling who had been following Qian Long began to look around with some vigilance, as if to confirm that there was something abnormal in the room.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this situation, Qianlong had a smile on his face, "The eunuch ordered that it does not have to be like this. I have already ordered that there will be no one within fifty steps."

The servants of the mansion are approaching."

"That's good, that's good..." The eunuch seemed to be hit by Qianlong's words, and said with a bit of embarrassment.

But he soon regained his composure, and a somewhat solemn look appeared in his eyes.

"Since your Majesty came to the throne, your Majesty has always been loyal to his duties and willing to do his job. It can be said that he has made great contributions to our country, Qin."

"In order to reward your great achievements, your Majesty has specially given me a cup of fine wine, and I invite you to enjoy it."

The eunuch had just finished speaking when a Lang Wei who was following him took a step forward. The tray in his hand was holding a wine cup filled with fine wine.

Seeing the wine cup, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

How can this be a fine wine to reward one's merits? It is a poisonous wine that is clearly meant to cost one's life!

However, with Ying Shixi's command in front of him and a group of Lang Wei at his side, I am afraid I have to drink this "fine wine" Qianlong.

Step by step he walked to the tray with heavy steps, and Qianlong slowly lifted the "fine wine" with his trembling hands.

Facing himself in the direction of Qin Palace, Qianlong's eyes and heart suddenly became extremely calm.

"Old minister Qianlong, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

After saying this, Qianlong drank the wine in his hand without any hesitation.

With a "clang", the bronze wine baron fell straight to the ground. Qianlong walked back to his desk step by step with a cane.

Cross the yellow bird and stop at the thorn. Who follows Duke Mu? Zicha is dying. He is dying, which is the characteristic of a hundred husbands. When he comes to his hole, he is worried about his chestnuts. The sky in the sky will annihilate my beloved! If it can be redeemed,

, people have their own bodies!

…

The sound of the song "Yellow Bird" from the Book of Songs sounded in the room again, but the sound became smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared in the ears of everyone in the room.

"Ask the eunuch, please go to the doctor..."

"well……"

After sighing helplessly, the eunuch Ling led a group of Qin palace guards and left Qianlong's mansion.

After leaving the mansion, these people did not return to Qin Palace, but went straight out of the city gate and walked westward for twenty miles.

After arriving at an inaccessible barren mountain, these people who had just experienced a big event slowly stopped in their tracks.

His eyes passed over the faces of the Qin Palace Lang Guards standing in front of him, and with some satisfaction, he listened to the eunuch's order and said: "Soldiers, we have successfully completed the task assigned to us by your Majesty...

"

Having said this, after a long period of silence, the eunuch's voice suddenly became much deeper.

"It's time to hit the road."

Hearing what the eunuch Ling said, every Qin palace guard present was shocked in their hearts, but no one said anything.

The right hands all touched the long sword hanging at the waist. The sharp cold light emerged in the slow sound of drawing the sword. The next moment, these people who could be said to be dead soldiers let out a roar in unison.

"I am willing to die for you, and I am willing to die for Qin."

The moment these words fell, as the cold light bloomed, bright blood arrows appeared on the ground.

After a few breaths, these dead soldiers who were determined to die, without exception, became corpses lying on the ground.

After taking these corpses into his eyes, a cold light and determination flashed across the eunuch's eyes.

He also stretched out his right hand, took out a sharp dagger, and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation.

The severe pain coming from his body made the eunuch's eyes become ferocious, as if he could feel his life gradually passing away.

Facing the direction of Yongcheng, he knelt down with a plop, and the eunuch ordered the dagger to be pierced a little deeper.

"Your Majesty, I will explore the way for you first." After using the last of his strength to say this, the eunuch slowly closed his eyes.

At this point, these people who were still alive and kicking just now turned into corpses in an instant.

If there are no accidents, these corpses will eventually become a meal for wild beasts and disappear so quietly.
