Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"It's not a witchcraft!"

"Please read the Zhongshu order."

"It's definitely not a witchcraft."

"Please read the Minister of Rites."

"This thing is not a witchcraft."

……

……

Dong Shun took this item around, and everyone except Zhang Liang looked it over.

Zhang Liang put his heart back into his stomach at this time, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up the innocence of this humble minister!"

His Majesty Li Er sneered, and said: "Don't be too happy. Although this thing is not a witchcraft, it is more powerful than a witchcraft! Dong Shun, show him!"

Zhang Liang took the object and took a look, so he was not scared to death!

This is indeed not a witchcraft, but a wooden sign.On the wooden sign, there is a person with a crown and a belt, standing sideways, and the outline is vaguely Zhang Liang.It's nothing, the key is that on the right side of this person, there are eight big characters written - "The king with a long bow should be a different capital"!

What is this wooden sign?

It should be called the book of prophecy. To be precise, it is a page of the book of prophecy engraved on a wooden sign.

The so-called prophecies are books that record political predictions.The above uses ambiguous and vague language to predict the rise and fall of the dynasty's chaos, and the king's fortune and fortune.

The prophecy book originated in the Qin Dynasty and flourished in the Han Dynasty. At that time, as a symbol of the king's order from the sky, it was quite popular with the rulers.

However, the book of prophecy is a double-edged sword, and the emperor can use it to prove the legitimacy of his throne.But those rebels can also use prophecies to justify their rebellion!For example, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, used Fu Ruitu to prophesy his troops.

With the development of time, the rulers gradually became aware of the danger. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, prophecies were gradually banned.At the time of Emperor Sui Yang, it was officially announced that the book of prophecy was forbidden to be destroyed in the world.

In Datang, this decree was also strictly enforced.

Therefore, it is a crime for Zhang Liang to hide the prophecy books.

Of course, the petty crime of hiding prophecy books is not enough to hurt Zhang Liang.The key is the content of the prophecy!Zhang Ye, the leader of the bow, and the leader of the bow is the king, so do you still have to ask?It is Zhang who is the emperor!

Zhang Liang hid this wooden sign in his home, didn't he just want to rebel and become emperor?

If it is said that there is a witch in Zhang Liang's house, he can still count on someone to intercede for him.Then once this prophecy comes out, it is impossible for anyone to speak for him!Who dares to get involved with the case of treason!

Zhang Liang's face was ashen, and said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am wronged! This wooden sign is not mine, it was framed by someone!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly and said: "Are you saying that this is Wei Guogong planting the blame? I have never heard that Wei Guogong has any trouble with you? Why did he frame you! Besides, let Wei Guogong It was my idea to search your mansion, could it be that I am also an accomplice? It is simply nonsense!"

"This..." Zhang Liang suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and said, "It's not the Duke of Wei, it's... the Duke of Qin!"

Chapter 1693 Zhang Liang is also very hardworking

Zhang Liang really guessed right, this is Guo Ye's handwriting.

At the beginning, Guo Ye was appointed as the master of Lijingmen, and he formed a natural antagonistic relationship with Zhang Liang.How to deal with Zhang Liang is on Guo Ye's agenda.

Zheng Yuan, Guo Ye's cheap father-in-law, provided Guo Ye with two weaknesses of Zhang Liang.

One is Zhang Liang's masculinity.

The other one is that Zhang Liang's wife, Li Shi, was born as a prostitute and liked to deal with witches and gods.

If these two are used properly, no matter which one can bring Zhang Liang a lot of trouble.

Later, Guo Ye learned from Yin Hongzhi that Zhang Liang wanted to avenge his kindness and revenge, and exposed the secret that he took the pipa girl as his concubine in front of His Majesty Li Er.Ever since, he secretly ordered to use Zhang Liang's second weakness to attack him!

This thing went well.

After three years, An Ye had set up another intelligence network for Guo Ye, named Xichang.Xichang sent a spy, named Gongsun Chang, who pretended to be a Taoist priest to approach Zhang Liang's wife, Li Shi.He told Li that he once read a prophecy book, which had Zhang Liang's image painted on it, and there was an eight-character comment-"A king with a long bow should be a different capital."

Li Shi didn't know what the three words "Dangbiedu" meant, but she could understand that "the bow is the king".Doesn't that mean that if Zhang Liang can be the emperor, he himself can be the queen?

Li Shi immediately asked how to make the prophecy come true.Gongsun often told her that she needed to make this prophecy into a memorial tablet, put it in a dark room, and bow down for 49 consecutive days.And within these 49 days, no one should be allowed to discover this secret.

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Chang asked for a thousand taels of gold before drifting away.Mrs. Li followed her plan, and she was caught by Li Jing within a month of kowtowing.

Although Li Jing didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of seizing the heir, deep down in his heart, he still favored Guo Ye.After getting the evidence of Zhang Liang's rebellion, he immediately sent a small school with a wooden sign to report to His Majesty Li Er.

Zhang Liang didn't know there were so many twists and turns, he only knew that he must never admit that this wooden sign was his own, and he must bite to death that it was used by his enemy to frame him!Since His Majesty Li Er didn't believe that Li Jing was the one who framed him, then he said that Qin Guogong and Guo Ye are always fine, right?

He said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, you must understand the relationship between Chen and Guoye, right? The two of us have hated each other for a long time, and we must get rid of each other quickly!"

Guo Ye said: "So, Zhou Gui framed someone Guo, and it was indeed at your instigation?"

"This...Of course it is!" Now, as long as His Majesty Li Er can be convinced that the wooden plaque is not his own, Zhang Liang dares to admit anything!

He said: "Your Majesty, I admit that Zhou Gui's false accusation against the Duke of Qin today was indeed entrusted by the humble minister, in order to put the Duke of Qin to death. You see, we are both in the same situation, and the humble minister wronged the Duke of Qin for private Pipa girl, isn't it logical that Qin Guogong wronged his humble officials for rebellion?"

Guo Ye said: "Duke Xun, I really didn't expect that you would be so resentful towards Guo. It's true that we had some conflicts before, but Guo never regarded you as a life and death enemy, let alone put you to death. Thoughts. As for this wooden sign, it has nothing to do with Mr. Guo!"

Guo Ye's answer was not beyond Zhang Liang's expectation.Originally, the reason why he admitted to framing Guo Ye was not to let Guo Ye speak for him, but to make His Majesty Li Er believe that he and Guo Ye were at odds.

He said: "Your Majesty, Zhang is full of mouths, and he can't explain clearly. I only hope that Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I will give you justice!"

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "Zhang Liang!"

"Chen is here!"

"You have always been timid. If you say that you are rebellious, I will be the first to not believe it!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Liang was moved to tears.

His Majesty Li Er said again: "However, then again, Lord Qin is my vassal. If you say that he framed you, I don't believe it. What should I do?"

Wei Ting said: "It's better to hand it over to the Criminal Ministry for a thorough investigation!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted softly, and said: "It's not impossible to hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation... But, Wei Aiqing, let's start with the ugly words. You and Xun Guogong have a good relationship, and I know it. In order to avoid suspicion, Xun Guogong conspired against you This case cannot be handed over to you, I think...Wei Aiqing is still in charge!"

Wei Tingxin said, if Zhang Liang's case is handed over to Wei Zheng, is there another one?This old man is notoriously upright, as long as there is no solid evidence, Zhang Liang's case will not be overturned!

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhongshu Ling is busy with official duties, and still worry about Duke Xun's case, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

"Then who do you think it is appropriate to hand it over to for trial?"

"My minister thought..."

Before Wei Ting finished speaking, suddenly there was another sound of horse hanging bells!
