Bu Qu carried Lu Jiajiduo and Li Qinzai led everyone back to Chang'an City.
Enter the city into Zhuque Street and go straight to Tai Chi Palace.
The guards on duty outside the palace gate were shocked when they saw Li Qinzai and his party were covered in dust and still holding their bloody heads in their hands.
If Li Qinzai hadn't been a frequent visitor to Tai Chi Palace and a famous hero, the imperial guards would have taken him down as an assassin.
After a while, a eunuch came in a hurry and looked at the head in Li Qinzai's hand for the first time. The eunuch turned pale with fright, but he still led Li Qinzai into the palace tremblingly.
In Anren Hall, Li Zhi put his hand on his forehead. After being furious, his old dizziness recurred. Waves of dizziness eroded his head, making him miserable.
Song Sen, Liu Rengui, Hao Chujun and others stood in the hall, feeling the depressed and oppressive air in the hall. The three of them did not dare to say a word. Even Liu Rengui, the most stubborn person, was cautious at this time for fear of angering Li Zhi.
At this time, Li Qinzai had arrived outside the palace. In addition to entering the palace, he first saw the cautious appearance of Liu Rengui and the other three. Li Qinzai smiled and saluted Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was fainting. He opened his eyes in a daze and said feebly: "Jingchu is here. You sit down first. I... hmm? What is that in your hand?"
Li Qinzai picked up Lu Jiajiduo's head and grinned at him: "Your Majesty, this is an important organ of the human body. This thing can speak and move, but the amazing thing is that it cannot live without its neck..."
Li Zhi's eyes were dizzy and his vision was also affected. He squinted and looked at it from a distance for a long time, wondering: "What on earth is it?"
"This thing is commonly known as 'head', and also called 'head', 'head', 'head', etc..."
Li Zhi repeated blankly: "Head, first level..."
Finally coming back to his senses, Li Zhi was horrified, leaned back, and said angrily: "You're talking about you... you brought a head into the palace? Li Jingchu, are you crazy? Whose head is this?"
Li Qinzai raised his head again, shook it, and said innocently: "Didn't His Majesty order Lu Jiajiduo to be killed? This is Lu Jiajiduo's head."
Li Zhi was shocked again: "Did Lu Jiayi die? Was he killed by you?"
"Yes, I led the tribe of the Li family and intercepted the fleeing Lu Jiajiduo ten miles outside Anhua Gate. There were fourteen people in this group and his entourage, and they were all killed. I brought the head of Lu Jiajiduo into the palace and invited your majesty. Check.”
As he said this, Li Qinzai held up Lu Jiajiduo's head and motioned to the eunuch to come and get it.
The eunuch next to Li Zhi was so frightened that his legs became weak and he did not dare to take a single step.
Li Zhi also said nothing for a long time, staring at the head in Li Qinzai's hand in horror.
Li Qinzai sighed. He was too timid. What could he be afraid of with his head? Can it bite people?
Li Qinzai was not afraid at all. People who had been on the battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood were still afraid of a mere head, but he didn't see how relaxed and comfortable he was holding it in his hand.
Although Li Zhi launched many battles in his life, he never went to the battlefield in person. He could barely be regarded as an emperor of peace. How could you see such a bloody scene.
Liu Rengui, who was next to him, finally came out to relieve the siege. He stepped forward and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, what Duke Li said is true. What he is holding in his hand is Lu Jiajiduo's head. I confirm it is correct."
Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "In that case, the guards will take down the head and dispose of it. Don't leave it in the palace to scare people."
Li Qinzai pointed his head at him again like a prank: "This beast has caused harm to the country and wronged the king. He will be executed today, which is very satisfying. Your Majesty, won't you personally check his fate?"
Li Zhi waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, I believe in Jing Chu, there is no need to check. Take it, take it, you're welcome..."
The imperial guards entered the palace and took away Lu Jiajiduo's head, and Li Zhi's frightened expression relaxed.
The strange thing is that after the fright just now, Li Zhi found that his old dizziness was inexplicably better.
After taking away the bloody things, Li Zhi immediately thought of one thing.
"You intercepted Lu Jiajido outside the city? How did you know that Lu Jiajita would flee? How did you know that I would order his death?"
Li Qinzai shrugged and said: "I don't know this at all, but Liu Shizhong sent someone to the door last night to talk about Lu Jiayi's many crimes, and presented evidence, and asked the minister to help intercept Lu Jiayi, and he and Hao Shilang Enter the palace early in the morning to attend the impeachment of Lu Jiajiduo..."
"Liu Shizhong said that His Majesty is wise and will definitely kill this beast after knowing the truth. It is a rare occasion for Liu Shizhong to come to ask for help, so I naturally agreed."
"Later, news came from Baiqisi that His Majesty had issued an order to kill Lu Jiayiduo. I happened to intercept him outside Anhua Gate, so I ordered him and his entourage to be killed."
After speaking, Li Qinzai turned around and winked at Liu Rengui.
Aren't you happy that the great work has been given to you, an old man?
Liu Rengui had no expression on his face and snorted coldly, but did not refute.
Li Qinzai's words were half true and false, mainly because he reversed the order of time. Originally, he was behind everything, including sending the evidence to Liu Rengui. He also calculated Li Zhi's reaction and went to the city before Li Zhi issued the order. Lu Jiajiduo was intercepted outside the door.
But you cannot tell the truth about this matter, otherwise it will be suspected of being a trick behind the scenes. When the emperor knows that he has been clearly plotted by his ministers, will he feel comfortable?
Reversing the order of time, Li Qinzai became a loyal minister who eliminated traitors and subdued demons. Liu Rengui also took advantage of it. Li Zhi got rid of the traitor who deceived him, and everyone was happy. The only loser was Lu Jiajiduo. How did he feel? it is not important.
Thinking of all the deceptions Lu Jiajiduo had deceived him these days, Li Zhi gritted his teeth and laughed suddenly.
"Okay, okay! Have a good death!"
Everyone is dead, but Li Zhi still has a murderous look on his face at this moment: "I wish I could kill him with my own hands! Immortality can cure all diseases, haha! The funny thing is, I actually believe it!"
Li Qinzai didn't say a word. Liu Rengui next to him finally showed his normal strength without the ability to see children. He stepped forward and bowed and said solemnly: "Your Majesty reined in his horse from the brink. He can correct his mistakes after he realizes them. I am grateful for the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi and Li Qinzai glanced at him at the same time, and their eyes were not very kind.
This old man's mouth is really annoying. After being an official for most of his life, he has not learned any rules in officialdom.
Everyone was killed, and Li Zhi also said that he was "ridiculous", which was equivalent to implicitly admitting his mistakes. You also stepped forward and reminded the leader over and over again that he had made mistakes, and said in an elder's tone, "You can correct your mistakes if you know them." "...
It's really admirable for Li Zhi's mind to have such a subordinate become the head of the official position without being exiled thousands of miles away.
After Liu Rengui finished speaking, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but the atmosphere in the hall became inexplicably silent.
After a long while, Li Qinzai suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something secret to report, please... uh, cough cough."
Li Zhi understood, so he squeezed out a smile and said to Liu Rengui and Hao Chujun: "Help me get rid of the thieves today. You two are tired. Go back and have a good rest. I will send you a reward after a while."
This was a tactful way of expelling guests. Liu Rengui and Hao Chujun both understood and resigned wisely.
After the two left, Li Zhi looked at Song Sen, who had been silent in the hall, and said, "Get out of here too."
Baiqisi is a secret service agency directly under the emperor, and can be regarded as an internal minister of the Tian family. Naturally, Li Zhi was not so polite when he spoke to Song Sen.
Song Sen smiled and gestured to Li Qinzai, then left.
