Crown Tang emperor

The most likely family of the third child has been killed, and the spare tire also broke out in desperation, dying together with the enemy.In the fourth family, Li Chengqi's relatives have almost been wiped out, and Li Chengyi's mother is the granddaughter of Liu Shi, who has died long ago.

From a humanitarian point of view, Li Tong wants to express his sympathy for the blows that people in the current situation will suffer in the future.But starting from the actual situation, he also vaguely expects that his grandma will be more aggressive in her methods, and the harder she hits such a sitting tiger like the Dou family, the more room for his former clothing club to grow in Guanzhong.

Right now, Li Tong didn't know that his grandma was playing tricks again, and actually gave the Buddhist scriptures presented by his aunt Fang's to his fourth uncle's concubines.

Even if I knew it, I wouldn't be surprised.As a grandma, she has a conceited and self-doubting character, and is used to forcing people into extreme situations for so-called tests.For example, when they first met in Mingtang in the old year, Li Tong was almost smashed to death by opening his mouth.

Doing it now is really a basic operation: Although I have killed your whole family, or I will kill your whole family, you still need to maintain peace of mind, read Buddhist scriptures to dissipate anger, and calm down to learn how others teach son.

Although most of people's happiness is based on other people's misfortune, seeing that his fourth uncle's family is going to suffer, Li Tong can't be happy.

In fact, this did not change his own situation, especially being bullied by some brats from his fourth uncle's family, and calling himself a lowly position to Wu Yizong when he was in his early years, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and really wanted to talk to him Grandma said, even if you don't restore my county title, you can even make me a township king, as long as you are a great king, I will be satisfied.

The demotion of the five kings is just the beginning, and the next step is naturally the mobilization of minions.Although Lai Junchen, the cruel official leader, is still on his way back to the capital of God, the censor Hou Sizhi has been ordered to go to Xijing to arrest the sinner Dou Xiyu.

At the same time, Si Xing Si officially took over the case of an outsider's private visit to the emperor's heir, and Cui Yuanzong, who had recently dismissed as prime minister, was in charge of the trial.This kind of arrangement is really full of malice. First of all, the facts of the case are already quite clear, and the severity of the sentencing only depends on how serious the crime of visiting the emperor's heir in private is.

Li Tong knows that Cui Yuanzong's position is more inclined to his fourth uncle Li Dan, but he is known for his strict law enforcement.If Cui Yuanzong is willing to handle the case seriously, he will be able to dig out more personnel involvement.But if he deliberately covers up, and Hou Sizhi can dig out more secrets from Xijing Dou Xizhen's mouth, then Cui Yuanzong will be involved.

So it is not unreasonable for Xue Jichang to take the initiative to go to Xijing to clean up Dou's family, but unfortunately the means are not strong enough to let this thunder come out, now he can only get more people in, and he himself has been implicated.

Although Li Tong hid in Yunshao Mansion, it was difficult to completely stay out of it.

This afternoon, he left the imperial city after work, and not long after he got off the Tianjin Bridge, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe surrounded by several entourages strode forward on the side of the bridge, a few feet away from Li Tong's mount, Then he raised his arms and crossed his hands and reported to his family: "Xuemen is careful in his words and words. He has seen Xunqing. The left and right are obstructed. Please forgive me."

"So it's General Pu Guogong Xue."

After Li Tong heard the words, he quickly got off his horse and raised his hand in response, while looking at him curiously.During the reign of Yongchang, the imperial court conferred Xue Rengui as Pu Guogong, and made his son Xue Na Sijue into the right guard Zhonglang general. This is the person in front of him.

Xue Na's name, Li Tong, has naturally been heard of, but they don't have much contact with each other. Seeing him waiting for him on the left side, he felt a little curious in his heart. "

As the name suggests, Xue Na was a bit inarticulate, and when he saw the two standing opposite each other, many courtiers who got off the Tianjin Bridge gathered to watch. He didn't answer Li Tong's question, but said, "Is it for Xun Xun to bow here?" Are you adding trouble?"

Li Tong also changed his mind after hearing the words, Xue Na was a general of the imperial army, and his identity was a little sensitive, and he may have been calm recently, not so vigilant that he dared not communicate with others, but in the eyes of caring people, suspicion is inevitable.

"It's true that this place is not a place for talking. I have relatives and other careers nearby. I wonder if General Xue would like to go with me?"

After thinking about it, he decided to meet Xue Na in the Bieye of his aunt, Princess Taiping.

Chapter 0348 The thin dead camel is bigger than a horse

In Luobinfang Princess Taiping's Bieye, after they each sat down, looking at the unsmiling Xue Na, Li Tong resisted the urge to ask his wife, Fan Lihua, how she was.After all, when meeting for the first time, no matter how curious you are, opening your mouth to inquire about someone's wife is always easy to cause misunderstanding.

Xue Na didn't know what was going on in Li Tong's mind, so after sitting down, he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "This time I took the liberty to pay my respects, because I want to thank Xun Qing for living my relatives and disciples."

While speaking, he signaled his attendants to come forward, and respectfully placed a small wooden box on the table in front of Li Tong.

Li Tong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that Xue Jichang from Xijing was Xue Rengui's nephew. Use, you should be loyal and diligent. What you do, you will be rewarded with your own salary, how dare you be the Duke of Pu and leave in person.”

Xue Na sighed after hearing the words, and said: "Although the words are so, but in the face of the matter, how many people are there who are as fair and courageous as Xunqing?"

Hearing this, Li Tong rubbed his nose and gave a coy smile, it was really hard to answer, he couldn't say that my grandma's eyes were really crooked, I should deal with her.But this Xue Na is really not good at words and has no talent for communication.

Li Tong didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. Although he indirectly saved Xue Jichang's life by refuting the edict, it was obviously not the time to show off his personal favor, not to mention whether Xue Jichang would survive in the end was still unknown.

However, Li Tong was indeed very interested in Xue Na in front of him. Among other things, the name of his old man Xue Rengui alone was like a thunderbolt.Now that this person came to see him on his own initiative, Li Tong couldn't help asking him some old stories, which was also a tribute to such a famous general.

Although Xue Na is not good at words, he still enjoys talking about his father's achievements.After talking for a while, he obviously didn't mean it, and couldn't help but talk about Xue Jichang again.

Li Tong knew that the water was deep, and now that he was able to stay out of the matter, he didn't want to discuss it any more, but it was not easy to fool Xue Na, an honest person.

After pondering for a while, he simply said directly: "Pu Guogong thanked me this time, and I am really ashamed of it. One is where the public office is, and it does not show personal favors. The other is that the past is hidden, and I don't want to mention it. As for Xue Yu this time When Shi was interrogated, I understand that there is something wrong with chasing crimes, but I will not discuss it if I am not in the position. All the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are looking forward to this matter, and hope that they can wait for a result that is not in vain or indulgence."

Speaking of which, it is already equivalent to seeing off guests.How could Li Tong not hear what Xue Na meant.But he was able to refute the imperial edict because he didn't care about Xue Jichang's indifferent attitude towards him in Xijing, and there was really no reason to interfere with this issue.

After Xue Na heard the words, his expression was a little shy at first, and then he was disappointed. He avoided the table and bowed deeply in front of Li Tong, his face was already full of sadness: "Na knows that this request is not frivolous, brother this time If you are guilty of a crime, you have your own reason for it, and it is no different from others. But as Xun Qing said, the crime should not lead to death. But, but now, Na dare not beg for favoritism, so that criminals escape from justice, I just hope to get a referee..."

Seeing Xue Na like this, Li Tong also stood up quickly, but he was still a little strange and said: "If you only ask for this, I think it is not difficult. Pu Guogong, why do you..."

Xue Na raised his head, with a bitter expression on his face, he opened his mouth as if he couldn't find the right words to express, then lowered his head again.

Seeing Xue Na's attitude, Li Tong gradually understood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Nowadays, although it can be said that the DPRK and China have different positions, even if they are in the same camp, it is impossible to say that they share the same breath and share the same fate.Even his grandma, who is already in the supreme position, cannot avoid the big and small battles among the courtiers.

As for those who support his fourth uncle Li Dan, it is trivial to say that a group of dragons without a capital is a mess, and even fights in a nest.For example, when Xue Jichang went to Xijing this time, why didn't he intend to sanction the Dou family?

Now that the Dou family has made matters worse, Xue Jichang has also been implicated, and was almost taken into Xijing directly.Now Wu Zetian is already sharpening his sword. Although the main target is the Dou family, it is no problem to deal with one or two small characters like Xue Jichang. Even the former prime minister Cui Yuanzong is already in danger.

Right now, the ministers of Li Dan's faction are already in danger. Under such circumstances, who would care about Xue Jichang's life?

Xue Na was indeed desperate. Before he came to visit Li Tong, he had already interviewed many important officials from the Southern Province, including those who had previously arranged for Xue Jichang to go to Xijing.But these people, without exception, expressed their helplessness. Those with a better attitude could sigh at each other, while those with a bad attitude simply turned him away.

This time Xue Jichang was really two-faced. He hit the Dou family this time, and the ministers who were friendly with the Dou family thought he was not pleasing to the eye. They wanted to protect the Dou family if they had any spare energy, so they didn't care about his life or death.Those who have little relationship with the Dou family are annoyed that he did not do things meticulously, and let the fire spread to the forbidden area and spread to the emperor's heirs, which is naturally full of resentment.

As long as there are other connections, Xue Na would not make such a difficult request when they met for the first time.This cousin of his did not have a close relationship with him, but nowadays criminal cases are often implicated in the whole family, Xue Jichang's wrongful death may affect the whole family.

Li Tong looked at Xue Na, thinking in his heart.Xue Jichang's life and death naturally had nothing to do with him, but Xue Na's begging came to his door, which also made him a little embarrassed.

Regardless of Xue Rengui's old name, the Xue Na in front of him is really talented, and he is a general of the Nanya Imperial Army.Li Tong still couldn't bear to reject such a person out of the door for the sake of prudence of being alone for a while.

He raised his hand to signal Xue Na to return to the table, and he sat down to think carefully, and after a while he asked, "What did Si Binqing say?"

In Luantai's service for a period of time, in addition to doing things, Li Tong's biggest gain is that many personnel relationships are no longer secrets to him.Si Binqing Doulu Qinwang was one of the behind-the-scenes driving forces behind Xue Jichang's trip to Xijing.

Hearing Li Tong directly point out Dou Lu Qinwang's name, Xue Na's expression was also different, knowing that this young clan member must not be dismissed because of his young age, so he clasped his fists and replied: "It's a pity that I can't come to see you."

When Li Tong heard this, the corners of his mouth raised undisguisedly.

The Doulu family is also one of the relatives of the emperor's heir Li Dan, but his family situation is completely different from that of the Dou family. Dou Lu Qinwang not only served as a minister in the court, but also visited the minister several times in the Wu Zhou and Zhongzong dynasties. Not being suspected by Wu Zetian, it can be seen that he is of a certain level, at least he can judge the situation and make decisions according to the wind.

"Compared with the princes in the court, I am still short in the world. But Pu Guogong, after your famous family, can tell me the troubles, and you should live up to it. Even if you can't pursue perfection, I hope you can calm down as soon as possible. This matter ,I got it."

After thinking about it, Li Tong expressed his opinion again.

After hearing the words, Xue Na's face showed a little joy. Although Li Tong did not speak firmly, it was very rare compared to other people who kept their mouths shut and were even stingy with expressing their basic attitudes.

After all, they didn't have much friendship with each other, and Li Tong had already done a great favor before, allowing his family to run to the rescue, and now he expressed kindness, which made Xue Na so grateful that he got up to thank him.

Li Tong avoided the table and walked out, helped Xue Na, and sent him out as a gift. He was also about to mount his horse and return to the mansion, but before he had traveled too far, his aunt, Princess Taiping, had already arrived here in a chariot.

"Sanlang, I heard that Pu Guogong worshiped you on the left, so why?"

Princess Taiping beckoned in the car and asked Li Tong to come closer and ask.

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help sighing, and felt that it was too difficult to do something in this place surrounded by people like Shendu.It was only half an hour since he met Xue Na at the south of Tianjin Bridge, and the news had already spread in a small area.

So, if you don't find another way and do some other small tricks, just because he is messing around on the scene, his underpants can turn people over. Once he grows to a certain extent, he will definitely be hit, let alone support him in plotting the country. Yi Ding's big move.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Li Tong accompanied Princess Taiping back to Bieye, and at the same time told about Xue Na's entrustment.

After hearing the words, Princess Taiping sighed and said, "It's really not easy for a stranger to live a peaceful and peaceful life. How confident are you in handling this matter?"

"How much can I do with my meager strength? Later, I will temporarily borrow my aunt's part-time job, and hold a banquet to honor Dou Lu Daqing. Even if the person involved in the case cannot be rescued, I only hope that the matter can end in the case."

Dou Luqin doesn't have to give Xue Na any face when he looks at an old fox, but if Li Tong and Princess Taiping show up together, he will have to weigh it up.

Princess Taiping was a little puzzled when she heard the words. After listening to Li Tong's explanation of the personnel, Qu Yin, she finally understood, and nodded: "If this is the case, then things will be much easier. I will hold a banquet in the future." , and San Lang to treat Daqing together."

While talking, the two returned to the other industry. After entering the room, Princess Taiping stepped back and said, "I just walked out of the forbidden zone and heard something..."

She was talking about the Buddhist scriptures bestowed by Empress Wu Zetian, including the treatment after the Buddhist scriptures were in everyone's hands. Li Tong was also a little speechless after listening to it, but smiled wryly: "It's all right for my brother to be angered by others, why bother to let your mother provoke others for no reason. "

After hearing the words, Princess Taiping sneered and said: "People don't hesitate to die, who can survive. You don't need to blame yourself, Sanlang. I just feel sorry for your fourth uncle. It's really hard to live."

Li Tong didn't want to comment on other people's family affairs, so he chatted with Princess Taiping for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up to leave.

When passing by Jishanfang, he saw a lot of construction work in the workshop, and even blocked the street, so Yang Sixu came forward to inquire, only to find out that it was built for the five kings.After learning about this, Li Tong's mentality collapsed a bit. Come on, there's no need to pity other people's family affairs. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Let's make a long journey back to his remote palace before the street drums sound.

Chapter 0349 Wei Wang Yaxian, the Prime Minister rushed to send

When returning to Wang's residence, Yang Sixu presented the wooden box presented by Xue Na. Li Tong opened it and saw that it was some manor deeds.I also don't know what Xue Jichang from Xijing said to Xue Na, so that I can figure out my preferences so much.

Li Tong has a pragmatic side, but when it comes to personal enjoyment, he actually doesn't have too high requirements.

Xue Rengui said that he is famous, but there are not many famous titles and wealth left to his descendants, including Yu Ze. Even the title of Duke of this country was posthumously conferred during the Yongchang period. There are no generals available, after specially praising these famous generals.

Xue Na's contribution to these farm properties was enough to hurt his muscles and bones.Li Tong agreed to this matter because he valued Xue Na, and the rest didn't care too much.But if you return it now, it will make the other party misunderstand that you don't want to contribute, so you simply stay first, and then find a chance to return it when things turn around.

Soon after, the time came to the first month of the second year of longevity.It is said to be the first month, but it is actually just the normal late winter November. In short, one of Wu Zetian's ruling skills is that as long as you feel comfortable, I will have no sense of existence. Whatever you say, what can you do?

Of course, the folks don't care too much about the official messy calendar, how to live or how to live.But because of the imperial court, it was extremely busy with various New Year ceremonies.

When Li Tong returned to Yunshao Mansion, the Chunguan Ritual Department had already drawn up and distributed the regulations for the New Year's ceremony, and the time was short. I am learning some old movements, the most important of which is the big song "Shengongle" compiled by his grandmother in the Ruyi period.

As for the new expansion, it will be held until the real Spring Festival and his grandma's birthday in February of the first year.Putting these problems aside, Li Tong is holding back his energy. This year's Shangyuan Festival must have a good feel of the festive atmosphere when the city's curfew is lifted.

On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, there is a big sacrifice in Mingtang.The night before, Li Tong stayed directly in the forbidden center and presided over the preparations for various rituals and music.

As soon as it got dark, he led the voices of the Yunshao Mansion to the Vientiane Shrine and began to make various arrangements.

His grandma is also well versed in the principle of the power of a large number of people, so this new music composed by herself has more than 2000 actors who officially participated in the performance, and with various assistance and cooperation, there are more than [-] people on and off the stage. , In terms of scale alone, it has far surpassed Li Tong's old song "Vientiane".

As the general manager of the entire orchestra, Li Tong was also extremely busy, and had to deal with everything big and small.Fortunately, his aunt, Princess Taiping, is also in this Daofang family now, and she is also in the prison, so she has helped a lot.

He was still busy making arrangements in the main hall of the Ming Hall, when he suddenly received an urgent call from Princess Taiping, he hurriedly withdrew from the hall to meet him, and saw Princess Taiping with a stern expression in a side hall.

"Sanlang, King Wei and King Liang have already entered the palace, do you know that they will be sacrificed today?"

Princess Taiping pulled Li Tong into the table and sat down, her bright face looked a little panicked at the moment.

Although Li Tong was not surprised by this, he still shook his head and said, "The rituals I conduct are only at the end of the day. I think the official of the Ministry of Rites should have known earlier."

"No wonder, today's forbidden zone is especially heavily guarded, and Chen Jia is more than twice as strong as in previous years!"

Princess Taiping held Li Tong's hand, her arm trembling faintly, and whispered, "Sanlang, will the emperor's heir...should we do something? What can we do?"

Seeing his aunt's expression like this, it was obvious that she was worried that the queen might attack the emperor's heir directly, so she was full of apprehension.

Seeing this, Li Tong sighed, patted the back of his aunt's hand to comfort him, and said, "The emperor's heir has the hope of a stable life, and it's not because of vulgar sentiments that can be hurt. The general trend is reversed, and it's not something that two or three selfish people can decide."

He said so, not all because of the original memory.After all, the higher his participation in this world, the greater the impact he will have.For example, this time his fourth uncle's crisis is imminent, and it has a direct connection with the fact that he set up the Dou family in Xijing not long ago.

The reason for making this judgment is that the participation of King Wei and King Liang happened suddenly, and even close people like him and his aunt were not informed in advance. There will be any long-term follow-up plans, at most it will take people out for a walk.

Although she was comforted by Li Tong, Princess Taiping still couldn't rest assured, she got up and said that she would go to the bedroom to check the wind direction, and told Li Tong to be vigilant.

After all, if the emperor's heir is passive, then their remaining clan members of the Li family will also be in a difficult situation. No one can predict what the kings of the Wu family who are fully in power will do.

Li Tong was actually thinking in his heart, although he felt that Wu Jiazi's subjective initiative was not that high, but if the situation that Princess Taiping imagined happened, the danger he would face would undoubtedly be much greater than his aunt.

Seeing that Princess Taiping was in a hurry to go to the bedroom, Li Tong's heart moved, he stopped his aunt, and whispered: "Can my aunt lead my second brother in together?"

Princess Taiping was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but when she regained her composure, she suddenly realized, then nodded and said: "Then your cousins, I will also bring them in together."

Crying children have milk to drink, and if they show their weakness and helplessness properly, they can also win more attention.

No matter how confident Wu Zetian is in being able to control her nephews, there is an indisputable fact that the Wu family is too strong in the Imperial Army system. Forbidden, theoretically not impossible.

After Princess Taiping left, Li Tong also returned to the main hall of the Ming Hall, and on the way he saw the kings of the Wu family ascending the hall.Wu Chengsi, the king of Wei, walked first, wearing a solemn dress, with light and quick steps, looking around all the way, with a sense of pride, and more than a hundred imperial guards behind him, very majestic.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong took the initiative to avoid walking, stood in a place under the shadow of the palace pillars, and watched the Wu clan kings pass by.

But although he didn't want to attract attention, someone still noticed him. When he passed by, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who was also in a solemn dress, paused, and his eyes seemed to sweep behind the palace pillar casually.

Because of the pause, the footsteps of the kings behind were slowed down. Wu Chengsi, who was walking in front, quickly noticed this abnormality. Looking back, following Wu Sansi's line of sight, he also saw the man hiding in the shade. Li Tong, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, whispered in his mouth: "Today's big gift, don't be too troublesome."

Seeing the Wu clan kings swaggering past, Li Tongcai walked out of the shadows, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the so-called crowning a monkey, some things really need talent.Obviously having gained such a big advantage, there is really nothing to say if you don't rush to plan and make things happen, and turn some trends into established facts, but just focus on blowing up the streets here.

Even though he was thinking this way, he was not at ease, he took Yang Sixu and other strong eunuchs with him wherever he went, and he tried to order his subordinates to do things for him when he needed to go in and out frequently.In many cases, the fear is that something will happen. When there is no accident at Xuanwumen, it will be sunny and sunny.

Princess Taiping went there for about half an hour, and another palace official went into the main hall to look for Li Tong, and asked him to go to the bedroom, waiting to be escorted to the ceremony.

Li Tong was a little flustered in his heart. After hearing this, he immediately ordered some follow-up matters regardless of whether he was negligent or not. Then he hurried to the bedroom with the palace officials to find some warmth in front of his grandma.

Here in the bedroom, the defenses are also heavily guarded, and even the section of the palace road between Mingtang and Mingtang is marked by soldiers holding sticks, and the atmosphere is not usually dignified.

When Li Tong came here, everyone was waiting in the side hall, so he also sat under his second brother Li Shouli.

Li Shouli turned his head and smiled at him, his eyes were slightly red, Xue Chongjian on the other side leaned over and said in a low voice, "I was in the hall just now, and my cousin wept, saying that I was grateful to see my brothers together..."

Li Tong nodded slightly after hearing the words, raised his hand and patted his second brother on the shoulder, no way, wait for the twins to grow up for a few more years, and send them to you.

Next, the ceremony was held according to the procedure, and there was no confusion. Only when the ceremony was offered, King Wei and King Liang successively participated in the offering, which caused an uproar in the palace hall, but this time the ceremony was generally considered relatively success.It's just that the emperor's family never showed up until Zetianmen rewarded the officials.

Although the truth is that Li Tong and his aunt are too clever and scare themselves, but Li Tong understands that this behavior is not useless after all.

At the end of the ceremony, the empress ordered all the prime ministers to send the king of Wei back to his residence. Li Tong saw Li Zhaode and others, who had been tense since the beginning of the ceremony, relaxed slightly.

Wu Chengsi was in the limelight today, he was present at the shrine as a gift, and at the end of the ceremony, he returned to the palace under the support of the prime ministers. Even the ceremonial guards used were compared to those of the crown prince, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

But Li Tong also knew in his heart that this was probably the moment Wu Chengsi was closest to the throne in his life.Previously, he did not hesitate to sacrifice Wu Yizong's official position to get rid of his fourth uncle Li Dan's sons, and then affected the legality of the title "Emperor's Heir", which was really just a super-level accident.

After finally slipping around in the Jingu Palace, even if you go to the East Palace to take a shit and leave, it's better than just blatantly going.No matter how gorgeous the house in the square is, no matter how majestic the prime ministers are on foot, if the meaning is wrong, the taste will be wrong!After a big play, it turns out that you are just a Mrs. Ru.
