Crown Tang emperor

Of course, Lai Junchen has the ability to weave, and if he wants to frame the young king, he doesn't need to come forward in person.

But having said that, Li Tong is not bad at mobilizing the masses, not to mention that Shendu is also one of the strongholds of the old clothing club. hand.

As for the fight against Lai Junchen at the moment, one is naturally sulking, how happy I am to seize people's property in Xijing City, will I be blackmailed by you when I return to God?The second is to use this matter to have a deeper dialogue with his grandma. The little milk dog has changed its teeth in the past, so you should give me some practical work.

Hearing what Princess Taiping said, Li Tong just snorted coldly, and said: "The evil words of a dog thief are really hateful, and I really want to kill him. But then I thought that if I really got rid of him, then Luo Zhi's crimes would not be self-proving. It seems to be because of fear of killing people. Whether he is good or evil, after all, he is the talent chosen by His Majesty the Holy Emperor. I blame him because he offended me, but if he directly harms him, it will damage His Majesty's talent. .”

When Princess Taiping heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of silence, she sighed: "It's rare for you, Saburo, to be able to maintain a sliver of clarity when you are furious, so that the matter will not have no room for redemption. But now..."

Before she finished speaking, the street gangsters of the Jinwu Guard on the opposite side continued to approach, and the soldier commander had already shouted that he hoped that the King of Hedong would take the initiative to follow him into the Criminal Division to explain the cause and effect of the matter.

"Your Majesty should get in the car as soon as possible, and report the reason before entering the palace, please forgive me!"

Wei Tuan'er had jumped out of the car at this moment, anxiously trying to pull the young king into Princess Taiping's car.

Li Tong patted the back of the lady's hand, then turned to Princess Taiping and said: "I made an appointment to send off my family, I hope my aunt will do it for me, I can't return to the mansion right now."

"Then you have to leave a rule. After all, Lai Junchen is not a vagabond. If you punish him like this, the matter will not stop here. I'm afraid His Majesty will also be furious."

Princess Taiping nodded first, and then asked again.

In front of Princess Taiping, Li Tong raised his hand to summon his two elder brothers, and said to Li Guangshun, "After my brother escorts my mother back to the mansion, I will immediately close the door and leave no outsiders!"

After Li Guangshun heard the words, he nodded solemnly: "Sanlang, don't worry, I will never let the gate fall!"

"What about me? What about me?"

Li Shouli argued on the sidelines.

"Second brother, go to Xiuwenfang Hongdao Temple immediately, visit Li Shaoshi, and ask him to speak..."

While speaking, Li Tong pulled Li Shouli to his side, and after whispering in his ear, he said, "If Young Master Li is not here, just wait for him to return. Hurry up, don't be blocked in the middle."

Princess Taiping saw that Li Tong arranged everything calmly, and she felt admiration and curiosity in her heart.Then Li Tong turned to look at her again, and said with a smile: "I still have to ask my aunt to report what I have seen before entering the palace, and to make some excuses."

"Of course, then where are you going? Are you really going to join those street gangsters in the Criminal Division?"

Princess Taiping asked anxiously again.

"How could it be? If I enter there, it will be hard to see!"

This guy Lai Junchen is by no means a good person. If you ask Nanya generals, he dares to kill first and then slander. Of course Li Tong will not enter his territory. He only said to Princess Taiping: "I will enter Ciwutai to ask questions. Still feeling pity, Zhu Si thinks that they dare not enter into this self-holding, and after self-examination, they respectfully treat Sheng Wen."

After talking about this, Li Tong waved his hand to call the warriors to get on their horses, and before the Jin Wuwei street disciples dared to go directly to the front, he rode his horses out of the crowd, entered the city, walked through Xingfang Street, crossed the Tianjin Bridge, and went straight to the Chongguang Gate of the Eastern Palace.

Here, Zhang Shuo and others, who were one step ahead, had already been waiting here, and found familiar Donggong guards, one of whom happened to be Li Yi who had already served in the relative's house.Seeing the young king and his entourage rushing to the palace gate, Li Yi walked in and took off his palace amulet and handed it over, and said: "The humble official is here today, so I can't greet you outside the city. Although I don't know the reason, please come in quickly. "

"Good boy, much stronger."

Li Tong raised his hand and patted Li Yi, who was much taller than a few years ago, and did not accept the talisman he handed over: "I only enter Ciwutai to offer sacrifices to the dead, and I will not change my career to other places. In the future, don't take your life lightly." Push people!"

"Push it to the king, and rest assured of the humble position."

Li Yi took back the palace amulet in a daze, and led the horse to the palace gate.

Chapter 0305

As King Hedong led the crowd to leave, Lai Junchen also went to the southern province under the protection of the Jinwuwei street disciples. The Shiliu families who gathered in Yueyan in the west of the city also quickly dispersed, and told others about the conflicts they saw here.

The two sides in conflict, the King of Hedong is Zongzhi Shaojun, a scholar with a high reputation, and he has been away from the capital for a long time, which has already attracted the welcome of all the world.

As for Lai Junchen, let alone, after Zhou Xing, he was another cruel official who made the government and the public fearful. At the beginning of the year, the prime minister team of the Zhengshitang was almost overthrown collectively, and it was his handwriting.

These two people are both extraordinary people, and they broke out in conflict with each other, and Lai Junchen was almost beaten to death by the King of Hedong in the street. It is conceivable that a new round of shocks will inevitably be triggered between the ruling and opposition parties.Those who witnessed the incident with their own eyes have their own views on the aftermath of the incident.

From an emotional point of view, these Shiliu naturally have hearts for the King of Hedong.Although the young king was not lacking in criticism, but generally speaking, regardless of his background, talent and appearance, it was easy to make people feel good.

But favorability is on the one hand, on the other hand, they are not very optimistic about Hedong King.

The rampantness of Lai Junchen is obvious to all, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor has indulged him deeply. Since he entered the incident, there have been countless prime ministers and Nanya generals who were framed by him and sentenced to death. as much.As for other famous families or ministers, countless people suffered.

Although the second young king also enjoys the holy family, after all, he has been away from the current situation for several years, and there is almost no support from the court.And from the last explosion of King Hedong, Lai Junchen had already planned to drag the old affairs of the late King Yong, and wanted to wipe out the young king's family.

The late Yong Wang Li Xian was a sensitive topic that should not be touched easily. If this matter was brought up, even if someone wanted to secretly help the young king out of sympathy, they would not dare to intervene easily because they were worried that they would be implicated.

Of course, the disputes that may arise in the court are still secondary, and everyone understands that the key to the final direction of this conflict is the attitude of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Not long after the incident happened, someone saw Wei Wang Wu Chengsi, who had just been deposed as prime minister, and other Wu clan kings rushing into the palace.It is also obvious what the intention is. The kings of the Wu family have lost their positions recently. It is very likely that they want to take this opportunity to suppress the King of Hedong in order to regain their prestige.

Relatively speaking, there are few people who really have a clear-cut banner and rushed to the palace to support the young king at the first time.

Now the branch of the Li clan has withered, and the only one who can speak in front of the queen is Princess Taiping, but Princess Taiping is still busy helping the young king settle his family, and cannot rush into the palace immediately.

The incident had just happened, and the young king's situation was already very pessimistic, which made people feel sympathetic and worried about it.

In the forbidden Zhongshan Zhaiyuan, Xue Huaiyi was wearing a purple-red monk's robe, with sesame oil on his head, making it look more and more shiny. At this time, he was sitting on a high platform, holding a scripture scroll and preaching the Buddhist meaning.

A large number of court ladies and eunuchs gathered around the high platform, and they looked attentively listening to the lecture.Even though they didn't know what Master Xue was talking about, this kind of Uncovered Dharma Conference was held almost every day. If they didn't participate, it would be disrespectful of Buddhism, and it was obvious that they had to find small shoes to wear.

Xue Huaiyi recited the scriptures on the stage. He was not very interested in this kind of Buddhist meeting, but he enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by others.

However, as he was talking, he found that many people in the audience had quietly dispersed. This unavoidably made him very dissatisfied. He closed the Buddhist scroll and said angrily: "For this open meeting, the law is given to everyone. No distinction is made between high and low. The purpose is to sweep away your baseness and evil roots, and everyone will benefit, if you don’t cherish this kind of Dharma fate, do you want to sink into the animal world forever?”

Hearing Xue Huaiyi's anger, the palace people below also panicked, and some people who had already retreated some distance hurriedly returned, knocking and saying: "Master Xue, please forgive me. All the kings and nobles are entering the palace, and there is no one to serve them in the palace. ..."

When Xue Huaiyi heard this, curiosity appeared on his face, and he got off the high platform and asked: "All the kings entered the palace together, what happened?"

"The king of Hedong returned to the capital today, and the right platform came to Zhongcheng to block the way. He was ordered to take it down by the king. He was beaten in the street and almost died..."

The palace people didn't dare to hide anything, so they quickly explained the matter.

"Hedong King returned to the capital today?"

After Xue Huaiyi heard the words, his face was a little complicated, and he raised his hand and stroked his head and laughed loudly: "I haven't heard the news for a few years, but the King of Hedong is getting older, and he dares to provoke a mad dog like Junchen. Dog thieves are annoying. It's time for someone to teach me a lesson!"

Xue Huaiyi didn't have a good impression of Lai Junchen, and even felt disgusted, because his godson, Suo Yuanli, who was also a cruel official, was shot to death by Lai Junchen last year.

This naturally made Xue Huaiyi dissatisfied and felt that he had lost face. Although he had provoked and humiliated Junchen several times in the street, he was protected by Her Majesty the Queen, so he did not dare to retaliate too harshly.

Hearing that Lai Junchen was almost beaten to death by the young king at this time, he was naturally a little pleased.

Hearing what Xue Huaiyi said, some palace people said: "Master Xue, do you want to go to the palace to discuss the matter? Right now the King of Hedong has thrown himself into the Ciwu Terrace of the Eastern Palace, and he is tired of..."

Although the palace people were humble and did not dare to express their inclinations too clearly, they heard that Xue Huaiyi had a lot of disgust for Lai Junchen, and they also secretly hoped that this favorite minister could go to the palace to help a group of Kings of Hedong.

"Don't go!"

After Xue Huaiyi heard the words, he directly waved his hands and refused. He had complicated feelings for the young king. Although there was a fairly harmonious friendship between them, as the situation changed, the young king did not treat him as attentively as in previous years. I felt that my sincerity was let down, and coupled with the instigation of the masses, I thought that the young king looked down on him, so I felt a little bit of resentment in my heart.

In particular, his nephew Feng Changsi refused the better future he arranged and was willing to stay in the palace. Before that, he even took his widowed wife to Xijing without saying anything.

"It's gone, it's gone, let's do our own work."

Things arose in Xue Huaiyi's mind, and Xue Huaiyi was a little irritable. He waved his hands to disperse the crowd, and he also walked out of the palace, but after walking a certain distance, he stopped and summoned a palace man to tell him: "I'm going to the dojo in the south of Xihuamen. , you go to the Ciwu Terrace and have a closer look, if the young king can't bear to ask for popularity, if your words are sincere and your attitude is humble, come talk to me again."

Not to mention Xue Huaiyi's careful thinking here, the kings of the Wu Clan are already living in the side hall outside the Xianju Hall where Sheng Jia is today, waiting for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to summon him.

Wu Chengsi, king of Wei, was sitting at the table, watching the relatives and disciples arriving one after another, he looked a little dissatisfied and said: "Aren't you busy with business? A mere King of Hedong is worthy of my relatives and disciples gathering here to discuss? If outsiders see it, there will be What kind of evil words breed?"

After the kings heard the words, their expressions were a bit embarrassed, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who had just arrived not long ago, said in a deep voice: "This son of Hedong is really arrogant. No matter what his deeds are, this person is a member of the Xiantai, but he beat him so badly. This is blatantly trampling on the dignity of the court! If such atrocities are not severely punished, why warn them later?"

The truth is the same, but so many people gathered here, it is too attractive, Wu Chengsi was about to raise his hand to drive away a few people, but someone on the other side made a different voice: "The king of Liang is so angry! Say, it’s a bit biased, right? You only talk about the young king’s crimes, but don’t mention Lai’s evil deeds. King Hedong and Lai have never known each other, and they have no grudges against each other. If Lai hadn’t taken the initiative to provoke and deceive others, how could there have been disasters?”

The one who spoke was Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an who had been back for more than two months to be punished. He was currently living at home, and after learning about what happened outside the city, he hurried into the palace. He arrived a little faster than Wu Chengsi.

Hearing what Wu Youyi said, Wu Sansi's face darkened immediately, and he snorted coldly: "I haven't asked yet, what kind of conspiracy and collusion did you have with the King of Hedong in Xijing? This son is evil in nature, good at bewitching and charming, I have already warned you You have done it many times, but you still haven’t been able to wake up! This time he took the initiative to cause trouble, and you still want to speak out to help him? You have fallen into his trap without knowing it!”

Hearing this, Wu Youyi's expression was somewhat embarrassing and dodged, the matter of his family's wealth was originally intended to be hidden from these relatives and disciples, but when Wu Sansi scolded him for being stupid, he was very angry for a while, and snorted coldly: "Although I Talent is sloppy, but it also has its own private plans, so don't bother Liang Wang to ask questions all day long!"

After hearing this, Wu Sansi was even more angrily denounced, and Wu Youyi was also tit-for-tat and did not back down.

"Youyi shut up and apologize to King Liang! You are an outsider, and this matter has nothing to do with you. His Royal Highness Wei Wang is right, my relatives and disciples should not be involved in the discussion, and you follow me out of the palace."

Wu Youning, who was dismissed at the same time as Wu Chengsi, saw that the two were getting more and more fierce, so he quickly got up to persuade him, and took Wu Youyi to the door.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Wu Sansi was still full of anger, and said angrily: "Look at what he looks like now? He was coaxed into the game and he didn't know it. He didn't know where he was. He really thought he had something. The ability to be independent and handle human affairs!"

"Shut up, too! If the disciples can't be united as one, it's no wonder that the situation is full of setbacks! Now that they are in different positions, each of them is a prominent figure, and they should be self-disciplined in what they say and do. How can they show others the old ways!"

Seeing that Wu Sansi was still complaining again and again, Wu Chengsi couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at him and reprimanded him: "Youyi has nothing to do, it's a trivial matter. But what about you? Where did your government officials go after leaving the capital? I don’t know? If you do something evil that harms your family, I will never let you go!”

Hearing what Wu Chengsi said, Wu Sansi's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't bear it a little bit. He stood up and hummed: "I always act in the way that my elder brother is the leader of the horse. Such a reprimand is chilling!"

After finishing speaking, he also hurried out without staying.

Chapter 0306

After some quarreling, when the palace people rushed to the Xiangdian, most of the Wu clan kings had already dispersed, leaving only Wei Wang Wu Chengsi sitting in the hall with a gloomy face.

Of course Wu Chengsi was not in a good mood, it was only because he was in the confinement right now that he suppressed the anger in his heart and did not vent it.

In the eyes of the people at that time, the Wu clan kings were of course a whole, it could be said that they breathed the same breath and shared the same destiny.But in fact, the family relationship between them is really so-so, especially when they were young, their family was full of disasters and scattered everywhere.

Although they were later recalled by Her Majesty the Empress and gathered in the two capitals, they each had different experiences and their personalities had already been developed, so there was really little understanding and friendship between them.

Before that, there was also a great wish to assist the Queen in the revolution. Even if there were any small conflicts and contradictions between them, they could tolerate each other and dare not delay serious affairs.

However, with the success of the revolution, each of them became kings and prominent figures, and they became more flamboyant and unrestrained in their lives, and the original disharmony between them gradually magnified.

As far as Wu Chengsi is concerned, he has not entered the East Palace yet, and of course the big things are still unfinished, but these cousins ​​already have their own computers, and many of them only care about the current scenery and enjoyment, and have no long-term plans at all.

For this, Wu Chengsi was of course full of resentment.These guys are all short-sighted and difficult to plan. They don't even think deeply about how their family's current prosperity and wealth will be passed on after the queen is a hundred years old. At least they haven't put this plan into action. In the battle for the court to win the heir, Wu Chengsi almost dealt with the obstruction and difficulties of the Manchu officials by himself.

Now that Wu Chengsi himself has been expelled from the court, he is even more unable to suppress this group of guys, each of them seems to be calculating and shrewd, and he has long since ignored him as the master of the family.

Especially Wu Sansi, in private, even sent government officials to take up official positions near Fangzhou, where King Luling lived in seclusion. If the purpose was simply to monitor King Luling, why did he hide it from himself?

Of course Wu Chengsi also understood that many conflicts should not be disputed in the forbidden room, but he really couldn't hold back, and when he saw Wu Sansi, he couldn't help but get angry.

Sitting in the palace for a long time, unable to be summoned for a long time, Wu Chengsi felt depressed in his heart, and walked out to the front of the corridor, suppressing his anger and wanting to let the palace staff pass it on again, when he suddenly saw Shangguan Wan'er in palace attire Walking out of the Xianju Hall in a hurry, he rushed down the hall steps in three and two steps, stood on the left side of the road and said with a smile: "I don't know where the Shangguan should be sent? May I ask if your majesty is free in the hall at this time?"

Shangguan Wan'er stomped her feet and gathered her skirt as a gift, and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty has just learned about the chaos outside the city, and hastily sent my concubine to the southern province to inquire about the matter. The order is urgent and I don't have time to discuss it in detail. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Wu Chengsi couldn't stop Shangguan Wan'er any longer, he took two steps back in embarrassment, and was about to return to the Xiangdian to continue waiting, when suddenly he held his chest and abdomen in his hands, and big cold sweat broke out on his forehead, He couldn't help moaning, and the palace people at the side hurriedly gathered around to support Wu Chengsi and asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong with your Highness?"

Shangguan Wan'er was also a little panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly turned back and ordered the palace staff to invite a medical officer, and she hurried back to the Xianju Palace to report the news of King Wei's sudden illness.

In the hall, Empress Wu Zetian was leaning on the desk with her hands resting on her forehead, her face full of impatience. Hearing that Wu Chengsi had an emergency outside the hall, she was also a little anxious for a while, got up and hurried out of the hall, stood under the eaves and watched Xiang Wu Chengsi, who was being supported by the palace people, was walking towards the Xiangdian.

She was about to continue walking down, when Shangguan Wan'er standing next to her said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the illness is unpredictable, and the palace servants have rushed to call for a medical officer..."

After Wu Zetian heard the words, he kept his footsteps, turned his head and nodded to Shangguan Wan'er, and said in a deep voice: "All the good doctors in the office are quickly summoned to the forbidden center to consult the king of Wei. Don't let minor illnesses lead to serious troubles. Come here at any time." report."

Elderly people are more taboo to hear and see injuries and illnesses. Although Wu Zetian was a little worried about his nephew's illness, he still retreated to the palace, waiting for the medical officers to explain his condition in detail.

"What about the King of Hedong..."

Shangguan Wan'er asked another question in a low voice.

"Continue to ask, find out the reason, and report immediately. He is so courageous, he would kill my minister even at the first moment, and he dared to commit murder in the street!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly showed unkindness.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around and left the hall with a look of worry on her pretty face.The queen's attitude was already obvious, and asking why was just a gesture, and she was already very dissatisfied with what King Donghe had done.

Shangguan Wan'er was also a little puzzled by this, and couldn't figure out why King Hedong would do that.Even if Lai Junchen provoked him, based on the young king's talent, it is impossible that there is no more suitable solution, but choosing such a violent way will inevitably make people wonder if he was instigated by some people in the court.

Not to mention that Shangguan Wan'er went to the southern province by herself, Wu Chengsi's illness improved after a lot of tossing around in the chamber hall.

This is also a chronic disease caused by his being exiled abroad and being tortured when he was young. His health has not been very good, and coupled with the recent disturbances in the situation, he has a tendency to become serious.Although his condition has stabilized now, his complexion is still very poor, so pale that he lacks blood.

The medical officers of the Internal Medicine Bureau are already here, and the medical officers of the Outer Dynasty are still being called in one after another.Not to mention that these medical officers cautiously deduced Wei Wang's illness, seeing the gathering of internal and external medical officers, Wu Chengsi still felt warm in his heart. He is still caring.

After all, he couldn't write two characters of "Wu" in one stroke, so how could the founding king be willing to entrust his fortune to the hands of foreign surnames because of emotion and reason.It's just that there are too many internal and external disturbances and heresies, which makes the empress, who has always acted decisively, a little hesitant.

"The minister is weak and weak, so he fell ill and lived in the imperial palace. Fortunately, the king's kindness is great, and the emperor protects me. I must go to the palace to thank me!"

Regardless of the dissuasion of the people around him, Wu Chengsi forcibly stood up, and with the escort and support of the palace people, he boarded the main hall, with a look of admiration and gratitude on his face, but when he looked up, he saw only heavy curtains, but he didn't think that Thank you, kneel down and sincerely thank you.

Wu Zetian in the curtain heard that Wu Chengsi's tone was still weak, and said with some emotion: "Since you are not feeling well, why use so many courtesy, ask less about foreign affairs, rest at ease, and don't be a villain who makes your parents sad."

Through the curtain, she comforted Wu Chengsi a few words in a gentle voice, and after a pause, she ordered the palace man: "Arrange a car to escort the king of Wei back to his residence, don't use a small car, it's too bumpy, and it won't take care of the sick body, use a big luan The car, and stay in the king's residence for a short time, for the king of Wei to go in and out."

After Wu Chengsi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kowtowed repeatedly to resign, but Wu Zetian still insisted on doing so.

Everyone in the palace was amazed at the favor received by King Wei. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er, who had gone to the southern province, just returned, accompanied by Princess Taiping and Wei Tuan'er who hurried into the palace.

Seeing a crowd of court disciples bustling around, escorting King Wei out of the palace, they did not rush forward, Princess Taiping frowned slightly, while Shangguan Wan'er on the other side said like a mosquito: "This time, both inside and outside know King Wei is seriously ill..."

When Princess Taiping heard this, her eyes flashed, and she knew something in her heart.No matter how prominent a person's time, position and family, if there is a sign of longevity, whoever wants to get too close must think carefully.Her mother wanted to maintain the stability of the government and human relations, but she was really meticulous.

After thinking about it, Princess Taiping was unavoidably worried about the matter in front of King Hedong. Right now, the empress clearly wanted to maintain the stability of the situation in the court, in order to fully develop frontier achievements.The fact that the young king made such an incident at the very beginning of his return to the capital will undoubtedly bring great shock to the court situation, and whether he can get through it safely is really worrying.

Several people went up to the palace together, and the palace people were sweeping incense and removing the smell of sickness and medicine in front of the palace, while Wu Zetian sat deeply in the palace, and when he saw Princess Taiping, his face unavoidably fell down, and he said in a deep voice: "Young generation likes to be noisy, you I also followed Xingmao to tease, and ended up in trouble, which is not easy to end!"
