Qin Huizhi, who came to visit, said that your dragon body is important to the officials, so you can rest. At this time, the world is peaceful and everything is fine. I can handle such trivial matters in the court without bothering the officials.

As long as the official rests for a few days and fully recovers, he can return to handling government affairs without delaying anything.

Qi Gaozong could only agree.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Qin Huizhi, the prime minister, what else could he do? The two of them had done so many bad things together, and this was the prime minister that the Jin people requested to include in the peace treaty, so it was impossible to remove him no matter what.

Even if we make do with it, we can't live without it.

What's more, in Qi Gaozong's judgment, although Qin Huizhi became more and more domineering and outrageous, overall, he was still loyal to himself. Without himself, Qin Huizhi could not accomplish anything.

.

In fact, Qin Huizhi's control over the court at this time was much higher than Qi Gaozong's guess.

After Qin Huizhi "isolated himself from China and foreign countries", no one dared to impeach him or even speak ill of him. Therefore, the voice heard by Qi Gaozong was naturally seriously distorted.

As a result, many prerequisites were established unconsciously.

Qi Huizong died shortly after returning to the throne, and the people had many doubts.

Qi Yingzong was placed under house arrest, but was in good health.

Qin Huizhi's ability to control the court became stronger and stronger, and even no minister in the court dared to disobey him.

Qi Gaozong happened to catch wind and cold occasionally and his physical condition was not good.

Originally, none of them would threaten Qi Gaozong's throne, but once they all came together, under the chain reaction, some things that were originally impossible became possible.

After Qin Huizhi's visit, he left the palace.

At this time, the Imperial Guards in the imperial city thought it was an ordinary day, and had no idea that just a few hours later, Qin Huizhi would turn back again to do something important that would go down in history.

…

In the evening, a group of hundreds of imperial guards arrived outside the imperial city.

"Who!"

The Royal Guards in the Imperial City were obviously a little wary, shouting questions on the city wall.

I saw two people walking out of these forbidden troops.

The first man was covered in armor and said loudly: "I am General Xin Li in front of the palace!"

The imperial guard on the city tower looked carefully and found that it was indeed Xin Li. His tone instantly dropped a bit, and he hurriedly said: "General Xin! The imperial city has been closed. What are you going to do?"

Xin Li said loudly: "I received a report from the Wude Division that a thief had sneaked into the imperial city and wanted to assassinate the official! I followed the order of the official and the Prime Minister of Qin to enter the imperial city to search!"

The Royal Forest Army felt a little numb: "General Xin, even if there is an assassin sneaking into the imperial city, it should be our Royal Forest Army..."

However, before he could finish speaking, another person below had already begun to curse angrily.

"You bastards! You Royal Forest Army are responsible for guarding the imperial city and strictly sealing it off. You can't let the assassins escape! The matter is urgent. If you send people to arrest them, what if there is a leak in the defense of the imperial city and the thieves escape or are replaced?

If many thieves sneak in, can you afford it?"

Only then did the Royal Forest Army clearly see the second person who spoke, and hurriedly said in panic: "Excuse me, Prime Minister Qin! I didn't know that Qin Xiang was coming, I will open the city gate right away!"

Not long after, the gate to the imperial city opened.

Logically speaking, this is against the rules.

But these imperial guards obviously did not disobey the courage of these two men.

Qin Huizhi is the prime minister at this time, and anyone who offends him will be left with the consequences afterwards.

If the Royal Guards really adhered to their principle and did not open the city gate at this time, then when Qin Huizhi wanted to liquidate them later, the emperor would not come forward to protect them.

This is the most important thing.

Is it worth fighting Qin Huizhi on this matter? No.

Being a member of the Royal Forest Army is just for making a living.

Moreover, Qin Huizhi did not come by himself, he also brought Xin Li, a general from the Dianqian Division.

In the Qi Dynasty, the Palace Front Division and the Guards and Army Command were combined into two divisions. Their subordinate organizations were the Palace Command and Envoy Division and the Guards and Guards Division.

"Two Divisions and Three Government Offices" was the highest command organization of the Qi Dynasty's imperial army.

In other words, this organization has the power to mobilize the imperial army. From a procedural point of view, there is no problem with this.

In real history, Qin Huizhi actually mobilized the imperial army secretly without even letting Qi Gaozong know about it.

"There was a robbery in Quzhou, and Hui Zhi sent Xin Li, the general in front of the palace, to arrest thousands of people, but he didn't hear about it. When the king of Jin'an County came to serve as his servant, the emperor was shocked. He asked Hui Hui, and Hui Zhi said: "It's not enough.

The emperor was worried about it, so he didn't dare to hear it, so he reported it immediately after the pirates were defeated. He retreated to find out why, and found out that Jin Anyan had spoken, so he reported that Jin Anjuxiu King was not entitled to a salary for his funeral, and the monthly loss was 200 yuan. The emperor used the internal money to pay for it.

Give it.”

In other words, Qin Huizhi directly bypassed the emperor and sent the imperial army to capture the bandits without letting Qi Gaozong know about it. A county prince secretly told Qi Gaozong. Qi Gaozong was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't do anything to Qin Huizhi.

Qin Huizhi even found out in private that it was the prince who informed the secret, and dared to retaliate openly.

He even dared to mobilize the Imperial Army privately to fight a few thieves, and it was even more surprising that the Imperial Army was mobilized to do a big thing at this time.

…

In the name of catching thieves, the imperial army of a hundred people entered the imperial city and went straight to Yuan Sheng Palace.

Yuansheng Palace was expanded from an original palace in the imperial palace. After welcoming Qi Yingzong back to the court, it was renamed Yuansheng Palace and served as his dormitory.

In addition to staying in the palace, there are also a few days every month when Qi Yingzong is allowed to enter the Taiyi Palace in the imperial city to perform sacrifices.

Before Qi Yingzong returned to the court, he said that after returning, he only wanted to be the master of Taiyi Palace, that is, he would become a monk and spend the rest of his life practicing Taoism, and he would never covet Qi Gaozong's throne.

But it was impossible for Qi Gaozong to really just let him go to Taiyi Palace to become a Taoist priest, or to expand Yuansheng Palace in the imperial city for this imperial brother. On the surface, it was to give him adequate treatment, but in fact it was for better surveillance.

It is absolutely impossible for the ministers to go to Yuansheng Palace to meet Qi Yingzong.

But now, Qin Huizhi and Xin Li have led the imperial army to the gate of Yuan Sheng Palace.

"Knock it right away!"

Qin Huizhi gave the order, and these forbidden troops did it immediately without any hesitation. These people are the absolute confidants found by Xin Li, and they all know that the merit of supporting Li is the greatest achievement in the world, and once it is achieved, it will not be enjoyed.

He is full of glory and wealth, so there must be brave men under the heavy reward.

Then, everyone rushed in.

Qi Yingzong was just about to go to sleep when he saw a group of people barging in and was so frightened that he stood up suddenly.

"Who are you? Are you trying to kill me? Is it... is it..."

He was so frightened that he apparently thought that the Qi Gao Sect had sent people to harm him.

Especially when he saw Qin Huizhi's face, Qi Yingzong was so frightened that his face turned pale.

However, Qin Huizhi suddenly knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound: "I respectfully request Emperor Yuan Sheng to be restored to his throne! Please ascend the throne as soon as possible to bring peace to all the people!"

Xin Li also led the Forbidden Army soldiers to kneel down one after another.

Qi Yingzong was instantly carried away by ecstasy, but he hesitated: "This matter, this matter..."

Qin Huizhi said coldly: "The officials don't need to worry too much. I have already made arrangements at this time. I'm just waiting for the officials to return to the great treasure!"

A group of people surrounded Qi Yingzong and headed to the Daqing Hall where the grand ceremony and court meeting were held.

…

Qi Gaozong was lying on the couch, falling into a deep sleep, when he suddenly heard a faint noise outside.

"Who's making the noise?"

The young eunuch next to him hurried over: "Go back to the official's house. It seems that there is a thief in the palace and they are being arrested. Don't worry about the official."

Qi Gaozong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but at this time he was in a very bad state. He only felt weak in his limbs and dizzy. Even if he inquired, there would be no results, so he had to continue to sleep deeply.

But he didn't expect that by the time of the court meeting the next day, his imperial brother would already be sitting on his throne.

…

…

Qi Yingzong was restored to the throne and changed to Yuan Shunkang.

On the same day, Qi Yingzong issued an order, and in accordance with Qin Huizhi's wishes, a large number of old officials who supported Qi Gaozong were searched in the city, and a month later, most of them were executed for treason.

Many of the party members headed by Qin Huizhi were given promotions and titles one by one.

And Qin Huizhi's power also expanded to the point where it could not be sealed in a short period of time.

In March of the first year of Shunkang, Emperor Gaozong of Qi was deposed and he was still the king of Kang and was imprisoned in the imperial city.

On April 12, the first year of Shunkang, King Kang was seriously ill and died at the age of thirty-eight.

News spread that a minister of the DPRK impeached Qin Huizhi and died unjustly in prison. Some military generals rebelled, but were attacked by Qi Dynasty's heavy troops, and Xuanhei was destroyed.

In desperation, some warriors went north to join the Zhaoyi Army.

…

"General Meng, please!"
