This sentence "No matter what she is asked to do, she will agree to it" comes from the mouth of a queen, which is extremely tempting. The first thing many people think of must be that beautiful and attractive body, and Liu Ziqiu has just stepped into this small building
At that time, Queen Xiao did act like she was at the mercy of the king. However, Liu Ziqiu was not interested in Queen Xiao's body. He was interested in the Sui Dynasty orthodoxy represented by Queen Xiao and Yang Tan. In the future, he would unify the world.
It was impossible for Liu Ziqiu to let Yang Tan continue to be emperor. Then there would be a question of the Zen position. In order to achieve the goal, it was inevitable to use both hard and soft methods. Now with Empress Xiao's promise, things will be much simpler.
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "I dare not fail to do my best according to your Majesty's instructions. Please tell me who the four enemies are?"
In fact, even if Empress Xiao didn't say anything, Liu Ziqiu could guess that Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji and Yang Xuangan must be among them, but there was another one that Liu Ziqiu couldn't think of at the moment. He just heard Empress Xiao lightly opening her red lips.
, reported four names: "Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi!"
"Li Mi!" Liu Ziqiu was surprised and said, "What does he have to do with the murder of the late emperor?"
Empress Xiao thought that Liu Ziqiu had not heard of Li Mi, so she explained: "Li Mi was an aide to the late emperor and was granted the title of Duke of Pushan County. He received a salary from the imperial court but did not want to serve the imperial court. Instead, he colluded with Yang Xuangan internally and externally. The late emperor was in a great battle.
It was he who revealed the news that Gu was attacked by snow and wind to Yang Xuangan. Moreover, last autumn, he had sneaked into Shanglin Xiyuan with the intention of assassinating the emperor and abducting a beauty."
Yang Guang and Queen Xiao were not aware of this news at first. Ma Zhong told them when he escaped from Yang Xuangan's military camp to report the news. Although Ma Zhong was just a eunuch and a slave, he was loyal to the royal family. What he said to Yang Guang and Queen Xiao
All convinced.
"Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji have both been captured by Weichen. As long as the empress gives the order, Weichen will kill these two people to the city Cao! It is also related to the death of the late emperor and Li Mi's report, and Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Regarding these two people,
We should also try our best to arrest him." Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment, but then said, "However, there is something I want to explain clearly. It was not Li Mi who assassinated the late emperor in Shanglin Xiyuan that day, but someone else!"
When Empress Xiao first heard Liu Ziqiu say that she would kill Yu Wenhua and his two brothers just waiting for her to issue the decree, she couldn't help but feel happy. However, when she heard that there was someone else who broke into Xiyuan to assassinate Yang Guang that day, she felt restrained again.
He hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"
"That's right!"
Queen Xiao's face suddenly turned pale: "It's you?!"
If Liu Ziqiu is the assassin back then, then the prospects for her and her two children, Yang Tan and Yang You, are not good.
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Yes, it is Liu. But please rest assured, Madam, Liu's original intention was not to assassinate the late emperor, but to save his woman."
There is no airtight wall in the world. Ever since he met Fan Lihua, the matter of him breaking into Xiyuan to assassinate Yang Guang was no longer just a secret between him and Gao Xiuer. Maybe Fan Lihua would keep it secret, but who can guarantee that no one else would?
Recognize him? Therefore, after Liu Ziqiu met Xue Ye'er, he used the relationship between Xue Ye'er and Gao Xiu'er to tell the matter. Now, Queen Xiao took the initiative to bring up the incident of Xiyuan's assassination last year, and Liu Ziqiu did not hide it. Since Fan Lihua
Xue Yeer and Xue Yeer can understand his behavior. They are also women, and Queen Xiao should also be able to accept this fact. Even if Queen Xiao does not accept this explanation, it does not matter if she hates herself in her heart. Yu Wenhuaji is the most direct culprit who killed Yang Guang, Xiao
The queen could swallow her anger, so Liu Ziqiu didn't have to be afraid of her.
Sure enough, after listening to Liu Ziqiu's story, Empress Xiao sighed and said: "It turns out that Shi Huiniang's real name is Gao Xiu'er. Back then, the Ai family wanted to promote her as the principal wife, but unfortunately she claimed to have no merit, so she had to suffer.
Be a beauty, I didn’t expect there to be this twists and turns story in it. I wonder where Miss Xiuer is now, and will the Ai family have a chance to see her again? "
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, my wife is now thousands of miles away. When the Sui Dynasty unifies, I will bring her to see my Majesty."
Queen Xiao came to her senses for a moment, and then said: "The Ai family has issued an order to behead Yu Wenji, Yu Wenzhi and their brothers in the street, abandon their bodies in the wilderness, and punish their nine clans!"
But Liu Ziqiu held up his hands and said: "I'm going to tell you, what does Yu Wenhua and his brothers do to their clansmen? But killing them is enough, please tell me!"
Only then did Empress Xiao realize that it was no longer her time to have the final say in the world, so she couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Ai family is tired, Aiqing, please do what you want."
Liu Ziqiu bowed and said: "In this case, I will retire!"
In fact, even if there was no regicide, Liu Ziqiu would have beheaded Yu Wenhua and his brothers. The reason why he wanted to ask Empress Xiao for instructions was to find out Empress Xiao's attitude. A husband and wife can be gracious for a hundred days, after all, Empress Xiao and Yu
Wen Wenji had also been a de facto couple for half a year. Seeing that Empress Xiao was so heartless, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but feel wary secretly. Regardless of whether the legend of the Six Emperors' Peach Blossoms was true or not, this at least showed one thing: Empress Xiao had the deepest feelings for Yang Guang.
Looking at Liu Ziqiu's tall back and vigorous steps, Empress Xiao couldn't help but lower her head. Only then did she realize that she only had a thin layer of gauze on her body, and the two small bumps on her chest were clearly visible. Her face turned red, but her heart was filled with confusion.
A little angry. Am I really old? This Liu Ziqiu doesn't even want to look at her.
"My lord!" Seeing Liu Ziqiu come out, Fan Lihua hurriedly greeted her. While bowing her hands and saluting, she took a peek and saw that Liu Ziqiu's clothes were neatly dressed, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Ziqiu was also a lecherous person like Yu Wenhuaji,
Then she will change her mind.
Liu Ziqiu didn't know what Fan Lihua was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Mrs. Wen, the Longxi Palace will be left to you and Miss Xue. Don't let idlers disturb the Queen's peace!"
Xue Yeer agreed softly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, this is a matter within the slave family."
Fan Lihua was dissatisfied and said: "My lord, I can leave such trivial matters as protecting the palace to anyone. I am willing to follow my lord to conquer all directions!"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "You will fight in the future, but not now. The Queen is in a bad mood, you two should spend more time with her."
Seeing that Fan Lihua was still a little reluctant, Xue Yeer was very obedient and quietly pulled her and said: "Sister Yu'er, let's go see the Queen."
Back in the building, Queen Xiao had already changed into a beautiful dress and stood in front of the window in a daze. Judging from Liu Ziqiu's attitude towards her today, she understood that maybe she could only be imprisoned like a golden bird in this life.
In a cage, I grow old alone.
…
After leaving Longxi Palace, Wen Hao, Ji Rentai, and Daleng were already waiting there. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go with Liu to see Mr. Li!"
Mr. Li has now returned to Longxi City. Although it is not a county town, it is the foundation of the Li family. Its position in the entire Longxi County is even greater than that of Xiangwu City. Yang Guang was worried that the Li family had too much power in Longxi, so he moved the county to the city.
Located in Xiangwu City, it can be regarded as a check on the Li family. Even so, when Yang Guangxi conquered Tuyuhun at the beginning of the year, his chariot still stayed in Longxi City just to take care of the Li family's face. This shows how powerful the Li family is in Longxi.
Even the emperor dared not look down upon him.
At that time, the brother and sister Tuoba Yuanju also went to Longxi City to ask for an audience with the Holy Master, but they failed to do so. Later, they met Liu Ziqiu in a mutton shop. At that time, the brother and sister even joked that they should give each other a Chinese name, so they used the surname Li.
.Unexpectedly, just over half a year later, Liu Ziqiu would be back here again. Walking through the alleys filled with various Li Ji signboards, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The Li Family Courtyard is the most magnificent building in Longxi City. Yang Guang was stationed at the Li Family Courtyard at the beginning of the year. At that time, Liu Ziqiu was just a small corps commander, so naturally he was not qualified to enter this building that has stood in Longxi for hundreds of years.
The old house. Now times have changed, the door of the Li family is wide open, and Mrs. Li personally leads the Li family, old and young, to greet them by the roadside. This kind of treatment was not even welcomed by the whole Li family when Yang Guang was stationed there.
The reason why there was such a big battle was that Mr. Li understood that when Yang Guang was in power, the Li family and the officials in the court were inextricably linked. This is not the case now. Liu Ziqiu is a horse from the northwest wilderness.
Dark Horse, his likes and dislikes, Mr. Li doesn’t know anything about him, and he has nowhere to check. After all, Liu Ziqiu was unknown in the past, and Mr. Li didn’t even know where he was from. People tend to have two reactions to unknown things, one is
There is fear, and there is fear. Mr. Li acts calmly, and his reaction to the unknown Liu Ziqiu is obviously the latter. Although Wen Hao has made various promises to him, after all, he did not listen to Liu Ziqiu's own words. In Mr. Li's case,
In his heart, Liu Ziqiu, who comes from the wilderness, is not much different from a barbarian. If Liu Ziqiu suddenly becomes greedy and takes a fancy to the Li family's property, it will definitely bring disaster to the Li family. Old Mrs. Li is worried, so he must behave respectfully.
attitude.
Seeing Liu Ziqiu and his entourage arriving from a distance, Mr. Li prostrated himself in the street and said loudly: "Welcome Mr. Liu!"
Immediately after Mr. Li, hundreds of people from the Li family, young and old, prostrated themselves, and the scene was even spectacular. Liu Ziqiu was frightened when he saw this, hurriedly rolled off his saddle, walked quickly to Mr. Li, helped him up, and kept saying:
: "I can't do it, I can't do it. The old gentleman is going to kill the junior!"
Seeing Liu Ziqiu's humility, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel relieved. He stood up and said, "Master Liu's presence in the humble residence will immediately make Pengpi shine."
Although Mr. Li's attitude was extremely sincere, Liu Ziqiu could still see some arrogance on the faces of other members of the Li family. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but didn't mind. He laughed and said, "I am too modest. If you have a humble home here, then Liu is."
