The severe pain in the lower abdomen made Li Yuanqi stunned for a moment, and then moaned softly, "You...uh! Jia Yu..."

After Jia Ping'an retired, Jia Yu was walking outside the Jia family. He seemed to have a low official position, but no one dared to underestimate the Duke of Zhao who claimed to be tired of the officialdom. Fortunately, Jia Yu was very low-key and had a low sense of existence, which made the Jia family gradually break away from the mainstream public opinion circle.

But tonight's knife made Li Yuanqi re-examine Jia Yu.

He felt that something was constantly passing through his lower abdomen, and he also took away his own vitality, but it did not prevent him from looking at Jia Yu carefully.

"That's... that man's surname is Jia... I'm so angry!"

In an instant, Li Yuanqi figured it out.

The only possibility of Jia Hong, the head of the Ministry of War who could let Jia Yu kill someone himself was Jia Yu's brother and Jia Ping'an's son.

Bang!

Li Yuanqi fell to the ground, smiling bitterly, and his body was twitching.

"I... don't want it..."

There was a look of regret in his eyes, and he murmured, his voice gradually getting lower and unaudible: "The emperor... can't... can't..."

Jia Yu turned around, shook the horizontal knife gently, and shook the blood off. While slowly putting away the knife, he looked at the servants who came to hear the sound.

The servants stopped and the concierge screamed: "I've killed someone! I've killed someone!"

Jia Yu nodded, "Tell the people from Jinwu Guard that I will go to apologize tomorrow morning."

He brought the people back home.

Doudou was waiting outside the room. When he saw Jia Yu coming, he asked, "Brother, where have you been?"

Jia Yu frowned slightly, not because he was unhappy, but because he was worried that there was a bloody smell on his body that Doudou smelled, "I went outside to look for a doctor, but who knew that there was an injured person there and the doctor could not leave."

He glanced at the room, "Why haven't Mr. Sun gone to rest?"

Sun Simiao, who was sitting by the bed, turned around and frowned, "I used to be practicing medicine in the countryside, and I often couldn't sleep all night. But when you went out at night, you were so sharp that you returned... Forget it, I can't take care of your affairs, but Jia Dong was not at home, who would take care of him at home?"

This sentence is obscure. Jia Yu walked in, looked down at Jia Hong's face, and whispered: "Aye once said that a person's life is short, and many times there is no need to consider gains and losses. If you feel right, then do it."

Sun Simiao sighed, "You have a smell of blood on your body... I have treated many trauma patients in this life, but only the blood sprayed from the severe wound is so smelly..."

Jia Yu smiled, "What's the use of scolding at home? What do you have to do?"

Sun Simiao raised his eyes and said, "It's probably time for the palace to know."

Jia Yu nodded, "I'll wait."

Sun Simiao glanced at him and knew that the young man had no regrets at all. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Jia Ping'an's sons were really a headache. However... I feel relieved to be revenge like this!

He asked in a low voice, "Don't you regret it?"

The incident broke out tomorrow and the public opinion was surging. Jia Yu could not escape the blame. Isn’t he afraid?

Jia Yu's eyes were calm, "Before I went, I thought about the result. I... have no regrets!"

…………

Li Zhi is destined to be uneasy today and is listening to Shen Qiu's report at this moment.

"Wang Yuanyuan said that Tubo is now suffering from civil strife, and Zanpu feels regretful. There are many rumors in the city, and the most is Zanpu killing the man who killed Lu Dongzan back then..."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the candlelight, "This is a means to ease the relationship with Qinling. To this day, the Tubo civil war has been in danger for many years, and the military and civilians are exhausted, so Qinling's life is not easy. If there is an opportunity, the two sides will shake hands and make peace... and the best opportunity is to send troops from the Tang Dynasty."

Chen Qiu's heart was shocked.

"Will those ministers who make suggestions not know what Wang Yuanyuan can find out? What did the secret spies from the Ministry of War do? Did the Ministry of War explain the news from Tubo when it made suggestions? If not, it would be dereliction of duty. If there is..."

If so, those people would be crazy... Chen Qiu's back was cold.

The emperor coughed lightly, with an unidentified indifference in his eyes, "What do those people want to do? The Tang Dynasty sent troops to stabilize the situation in Tubo. Zanpu and Qinling joined forces to fight the enemy, and from then on, there was an extra enemy in the Tang Dynasty. What is their purpose?"

Chen Qiu knows what it is.

"Most of the roots of the gentry were cut off by me, and the clans had long declined. There was no second force in the world that could compete with me. So in the past few years, a voice has appeared saying that I am cruel."

Li Zhi looked at the night sky and said contemptuously: "I am the emperor, I am the Tang Dynasty. If I don't hold great power, who will decide the world? Relying on those ministers? They will argue endlessly. Outsiders think they are arguing about the future of the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know that they are fighting for power and profit for the group of people represented behind them, and their faces are really hateful."

Chen Qiu and Wang Zhongliang dared not say anything about this topic.

Li Zhi said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty is weak, and the emperor will be in trouble. When the Tang Dynasty is weak, the ministers will remain the same. If the change of masters is still the best. I have understood this truth from the age of nine. Once the Tubo changes, the Tang Dynasty will have a strong opponent. The Tang Dynasty must divide its troops to defend the direction of Tubo, so the opportunity for Dashi comes. Once Dashi turns around and stares at Dashi, the great situation will disappear... Dashi will return to the national policy of external conquests. How can we continue to be strong?"

Wang Zhongliang couldn't help it after all, "Your Majesty, those people are traitors and should be killed!"

Li Zhi raised his eyes slightly and looked at the eunuch who was walking towards him.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch's face changed a little, as if surprised, "The Jinwu Guard came to report that just before, Jia Yu took people to the home of the Secretariat Minister Li Yuanqi, and killed Li Yuanqi outside the study."

Li Zhi was stunned and then fell silent.

After a long time, Wang Zhongliang heard the emperor's sigh.

"I thought of the knife outside the imperial city back then."

...

Early in the morning.

Jia Hong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved.

Jia Yu sat by the bed, his eyes moved slightly, and he exclaimed softly, "Dahong!"

Sun Simiao opened his eyes and saw no movement, and there was a silver needle in his hand.

Jia Hong, who slowly opened his eyes, saw an old man with gray hair and beard piercing him with a silver needle in his hand, and subconsciously shouted: "Help!"

Doudou, who was outside, was awakened from his nap and stood up suddenly, "Erlang!"

She rushed in and saw Jia Hong leaning against the head of the bed, looking at Sun Simiao with a look of fear.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amid the laughter, the entire Jia family came to life.

The gloom gradually dissipated, and Jia Hong lay on the bed, talking about his heroic deeds with joy.

"...I stabbed into the horse's butt with one stab, and then got a stick. It hurts so much..."

Jia Hong felt like he had a dream. When he woke up and saw his brother and sister, he was in a very good mood. As for the danger, he had long forgotten it.

"How about Yuanwailang Chen?" Jia Hong felt a little ashamed, feeling that he showed off for a while, and then he thought of Chen Jinfa.

Chen Jinfa stood at the door, with people in front of him. He didn't expect that Jia Hong would still think about his safety at this time. He was moved for a moment and said on tiptoe: "I am here."

Jia Hong smiled happily, "It's great that you're fine."

Chen Jinfa couldn't help but blush his eyes and choked and said, "Okay, all are fine."

After a while, Sun Simiao gave a smile and said, "Young people have a good foundation, just keep them for a while."

Doudou covered his mouth and yawned, "I want to make up for my sleep. Don't quarrel with me, even Ah Fu!"

Afu, outside the door, leaned against the wall, opened his mouth and clicked for a few times, and continued to sleep.

Jia Yu looked at Jia Hong carefully and said with a smile: "It's good that you'll be fine. I'll go out now. If you have something to do at home, please keep an eye on it."

Jia Hong didn't know that his brother went to kill a minister for him last night and said, "I've been sleeping enough, brother just go."

Jia Yu raised his eyes and smiled.

………………………………………

Courtyard.

There are many impeachment memorials today.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuanqi, the Minister of the Secretariat, was killed last night, but the people from the Hundred Cavalry took the Li family..."

This incident caused a lot of controversy in the morning. The Secretariat was an important minister, and further forward was the prime minister. But someone broke into the Li family at night and killed Li Yuanqi with one knife. This was really a horrifying thing.

But the emperor's actions were a bit confusing. He actually ordered Baiqi to take over Li Yuanqi's family, so most people don't know who the murderer was.

Some people know, such as the team of Jinwu Guard soldiers who intercepted Jia Yu last night, but now they have been warned, and the person coming is Shao Peng next to the queen.

"Shut your mouth and live longer."

Shao Peng then floated to the Jia family and felt relieved when he woke up.

"The queen is worried about your affairs, and even more..." Shao Peng thought of the quarrel between the queen and the emperor last night, and couldn't help but feel speechless, "Support it well. Alas! The brothers are so... it's enviable!"

Jia Hong was a little puzzled, thinking to himself why Shao Peng mentioned his brother, and he looked sighing.

...

The prince stubbornly suppressed all the impeachment. This action made the prime ministers feel that this matter was unusual. Some people even speculated that the murderer might be a prince or a royal family member, so several princes in Chang'an became suspects.

And in the palace, Jia Yu was now outside the emperor's bedroom.

In the hall, the emperor said coldly: "I am so bold that I dare to kill someone!"

Outside the hall, Jia Yu lowered his head, "Yes."

The emperor had a sinister face, "Why kill someone?"

Jia Yu believed that the emperor knew the reason why he killed Li Yuanqi, but he still asked...
