Crown Tang emperor

Lego said with a serious face: "The king is already outstanding in style, and he is even more heroic with the addition of military uniforms!"

Hearing this, Li Tong agreed very much. Although this silk armor was just for show, it felt like it was wrapped in a padded jacket, but it had to be said that it was really beautiful. In the meantime, there was a heroic spirit exposed.

He hadn't finished showing off here yet, and Yang Sixuan's voice sounded from outside the room again: "My lord, Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang General Sima Gong is asking to see you?"

"He finally dared to show his face? At this time, the yamen has been closed, he is neither here nor ordered, so he broke into the yamen hall? Disarmed and seized his seal, temporarily imprisoned in the yamen, and his crime will be discussed tomorrow!"

Li Tong walked out of the room, stood on the porch with his hands on his hips and said, "There is also King Yingchuan, who will be dealt with in the same way after returning to the Yamen."

"King Yingchuan can't come back."

After Yang Sixu heard the words, he grinned and said: "Xu Changshi reported that when King Yingchuan returned to the Yamen, the horse stumbled in shock and returned to the mansion to recuperate. The seals and other things have already been sent back to the Yatang."

"Count him to be interesting!"

Li Tong was also happy when he heard this, and he wanted to give Wu Zaide a mistake in entering the festival hall, but he didn't expect this guy to be very clever, so he retreated first.

He didn't change the embroidered armor either. After returning to Zhitang, he summoned Xu Jing, the chief minister, and said, "How is King Yingchuan's injury? Remember to send people to visit tomorrow to measure his injury and condition, and use medicine and food to protect him." The government will give it."

After Xu Jing heard the words, he nodded yes, and secretly sighed in his heart, acting on behalf of the king, and doing such a trick again, the king of Yingchuan might be hard to return.The Wei Mansion supplies medicine and food, as long as more money is paid, if King Yingchuan comes back alive the next day, he can be charged with dereliction of duty, corruption and other crimes.

But it seems that King Yingchuan probably doesn't want to fight with King Dai in the Wei Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such an excuse to retire due to injury.

Originally, the members of their subordinates were also discussing secretly, the two kings were in the Wei Mansion, which one was more skilled, overshadowed or even squeezed out the other.But I didn't expect King Yingchuan to be so tolerant, he just retreated without showing his face.

As for the guards who are closely related to the Wu family, a Zhonglang will be imprisoned, and a recorder who joins the army will be directly deprived of his official title, beaten and punished, all within one day.This acting king is really resolute and unscrupulous in his actions.

After giving orders to Xu Jing, Li Tong went back to his room and fell asleep peacefully, waiting for the court to enter the guard tomorrow.If the Wu family still wants to continue to entangle with Zuo Qianniuwei's affairs, he is not afraid, he can just take advantage of the turmoil and continue to see who is the friend and who is the enemy.

Chapter 0378 sitting on the emperor, standing the grandson of the emperor

At dawn, Li Tong was still asleep when he was awakened by calls outside the door.

"What time is it?"

He tried to open his sleepy eyes and patted his forehead to wake himself up.

"My lord, it's just over half of the Yin hour."

Lego, who was staying in the outer hall, hurried in and presented all the military uniforms to wear.

"So early?"

When Li Tong heard this, he frowned immediately. When he was living in Luxinfang Wang's residence earlier, he would get up so early and pass through most of the city to catch up with the court. However, he stayed in the imperial city today and knew that it was too early. , I plan to go back to sleep again.

But before he lay down here, Lego said again: "Xu Changshi and others are already waiting in front of the hall."

After freshening up and dressing, Li Tong walked out of the room. The night was still thick, and a gust of cold wind hit his face, which cleared up his mind a lot. He walked towards the yamen hall. , Today, the court rituals and chapters have entered the yamen."

Although there are fixed rules for all matters of the pilgrimage ceremony, the details are also different. For example, where does His Majesty the Holy Emperor live, where does he drive, including which hall to hold the pilgrimage, there are differences every day.

In particular, Wu Zetian was the heroine of the country. In this regard, the prevention and control must be stricter. Even the generals of the two yamen can only receive the chapters sent by the ban shortly before the start of the court meeting, so as to prepare various ceremonial guards. , including the imperial guards like Qianniuwei are no exception.And the changes of various chapters every day are mainly compiled by the forbidden female officials the night before.

If Wei Tuan'er remained in the prison, Li Tong would have a complete grasp of his grandma's internal and external movements.Of course, the premise is that Wei Tuan'er can get information from the group of female officials. As for the female officials who can understand these, at least they must be at the level of Shangguan Wan'er.

Li Tong took over the early court certificate that had just been delivered to the official office and glanced at it in a hurry. It recorded in detail the number of Zuoqianniu guards attending the ceremony, the type of weapons, when they entered the palace, where to pick them up, and so on.Of course, it's only them left Qianniuwei.

After arriving at the yamen hall, Li Tong quickly approved the opening of the yamen treasury, and selected today's ceremonial guards in the hall.To participate in the ceremony today, you need a thousand oxen to prepare your body, four people on the left and right sides of the body, twenty for the body, and thirty for the main pole.

In addition to the standard brocade and silk armor, each weapon is also different. The left and right sides of the body are all equipped with dragon and phoenix rings, and all are equipped with a dragon and phoenix. There are five categories of Yuyi cultural relics such as sticks, horizontal knives, lattice bows, leather drums, and red buildings.

After Li Tong finished checking the personnel, the corresponding utensils and cultural relics in the government treasury had also been counted, and they were transported to the front of the hall, and the participating officers and men of the various dynasties received their own utensils.After finishing all this work, it was just past three o'clock in Yinshi.

"Get out of the Yamen!"

Li Tong was wearing the extremely flamboyant regimental brocade silk armor, and he came out first, followed by all the preparations, each holding their own utensils.

When walking out of the yamen, the Zuo Wuwei Guards and Zuo Ying Yang Guards on both sides had also assembled. Seeing that the formations on both sides were several times larger than the Zuo Qianniu Guards, Li Tong was almost autistic and could only comfort himself. Although you have a lot of people, we have great looks!

This is really not bragging, Qianniuwei is 1.8 meters tall and tall, wearing silk armor, which is more beautiful and beautiful under the light of the lights, not as cumbersome as ordinary armor, It also sets off the extraordinary heroism of the preparations.In particular, the Daiwang who walks at the front with a knife in hand is even more outstanding under such decoration, which makes the whole team have a soul like the finishing touch.

The guards only set up ceremonies outside the hall, but Qianniuwei had to go to the forbidden center to meet them, so they took a step ahead.When they reached Zetianmen Long Street, there was another troupe walking out in the opposite alley, which was naturally Youqianniuwei.

General Youqianniuwei is short, the one who led the crowd into the court today is General Zhonglang, named Zhishi Shanguang, the noble is the Duke of Shuofang, a native of Eastern Turkic, half of his face is covered by beard, making it difficult to see his age and relationship. Appearance, but the body is very burly, half a head taller than Li Tongdu, looks very heroic.

When the two teams of Qianniuwei met, Zhishi Shanguang crossed his hands to salute Dai Wang from a distance, and let the pawns wait for a while, waiting for the left Qianniuwei to pass first, and then his own troops followed.

At this time, the guard of honor was still tensely arranging on the southern Huangcheng Avenue from Zetianmen.

The main members of the guard of honor in the inner room are the left and right guards. The left and right guards are in charge of the three mansions of Qin Xunyi, and the fifty army mansions they lead are also Dazhechong mansions. The Left and Right Jinwu Guards, if you don't count the non-staff outsiders in the joint defense, their strength is far inferior to that of the Left and Right Guards.

Li Tong led all the preparations into the front of Zetian Gate, and saw the left and right guards guarding inside the Zetian Gate. The left guard Xue Huaiyi was still in a monk's robe, with a hat on his head, shouting and laying out guards of honor. So unconventional, it is simply eye-catching no matter how you look at it.

Seeing Li Tong leading the crowd, Xue Huaiyi made a gesture from a distance, and then continued to work on his own affairs.General of the Right Guard Xue Mo sips, hearing the name is another barbarian, at the moment he is standing inside the gate of heaven with his sword in his hand, without looking sideways.

Along the way, Li Tong saw that there were as many as five or six Hu generals in Nanya. No wonder even the prime ministers couldn't bear it, so much so that they acquiesced in the old year to the unjust killing of General Quan Xiancheng by Lai Junchen.

The ceremonial guards in Tianmen are still arranged and cannot pass through.Li Tong could only lead his troops to Guangzheng Gate on the west side.When they were in front of the door, there was a sound of hoof bells inside the door, and dozens of horsemen galloped out from the door without turning their heels.

Guangzhengmen already belonged to the category of Da Nei, even the generals of Nanya were not allowed to gallop on horseback, the only exception was the left and right Jinwu Guards.

The other guards, including the left and right guards, all have their own ranges, even if there are envoys passing through, there are fixed routes.Only the left and right Jinwu guards belong to the free guards, who can move around freely according to the actual situation, and Qianqi is the one who has this treatment in Beiya.

Guarding the gate of Guangzheng is Xue Na, the general of the right guard Zhonglang. Seeing Qian Niuwei walking in, Xue Na cupped his fists from a distance to salute.

After entering the Guangzheng Gate, the group continued to drive straight in until they arrived at the Chengming Gate on the west side of the Ming Hall, which leads directly to the Hougong Palace and is where the soldiers of the Southern Yamen stopped.

When Qianniuwei was in place here, the Beiya Habayashi Army had already arranged a guard of honor inside the palace gate. Through a palace gate, Li Tong saw from a distance that the right Habayashi General Wu Youning was standing in front of the formation with his sword upright. , smiled and nodded to Wu Youning.

But Wu Youning didn't want to talk to him, he took a quick glance and turned back.Li Tong couldn't help sighing when he saw this, yesterday he was still feeling that there were tough people wherever he went, Zuo Qianniuwei just beat a few here, Wu Youning flirted with him again, it seems that in the future, Quanyue Beiya will have to Hit Wu Youning.

He is still slandering here, the sound of drumming has already sounded in the palace gate, and the holy car is slowly coming to this trip.Li Tong put aside his distracting thoughts, and looked back at the team. The instrument buildings in the team were opened, and the drums were playing.

Qianniuwei's halogen book instrumental music is fairly monotonous, but there are only a few types.As for the Jinwu Guards in the rear, it was much more lively, with all the shengjia and golden drums ringing, the momentum was much more lively than the prime ministers going in and out.

In the sound of blowing and beating, the holy emperor Wu Zetian sat on the walking chariot and walked out of the palace gate. There were middle officials and palace people setting up feather fans, curved covers, barriers and so on, and a group of female officials followed.

At this time, the Eight Guards of the Nanya Army had already gathered on the south side of the palace gate. Although there were only a few hundred people each, there were already thousands of people.

Li Tong personally participated in the ceremony, even if he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No wonder the palace change often happens at the Xuanwu Gate in Beicheng, and it is chosen in the dead of night, when the court hall can't cover it at all.

If you want to do something under such circumstances, you must at least get rid of most of the generals in the Nan Ya, and you have to guard against the Bei Ya Yulin Army rushing to snatch them back.But if all these conditions are fulfilled, if there is any change in the palace, just abdicate directly!

He was still full of calculations here, but the holy car had already stopped not far in front of him. Wu Zetian was sitting on the chariot, looking at Li Tong who was standing in front of the light guard of honor, with admiration on his face, facing Gong Cong Sheng Qu Chongyu, the general of Zuo Yulin who was driving on the side, said with a smile, "This Zhengnan Yamen official looks so good!"

Not only Wu Zetian was like this, the palace attendants and female officials were also looking curiously at the acting king in embroidered armor at the moment, and there were many whispering voices, which made Li Tong blush a little.

Shengjia continued to move forward. This time, Qianniuwei on the left and right took over the position of the escort of the Habayashi Army. Li Tong held his sword and walked less than a foot away from the chariot. He could even see his grandma's face clearly with a slight squint. The wrinkles covered by the plum blossoms, and the palm of the hand holding the knife is already sweating unknowingly.

When the holy chariot arrives at the side hall of the Mingtang, the guards line down the steps, the left and right guards guard the gate of the hall, and then down there are the left and right Wuwei guards, and the left and right Yingyang guards line up the hatchback.The courtiers also passed through the Zetian Gate at this moment, and the train slowly entered the palace.

The left and right Qianniuwei arched directly from the holy car to the palace, and the general Li Tong stood a few feet away from the left end of the imperial case with his sword. If you don’t consider this slight difference in orientation, you can already say that you share a unified perspective with his grandma .

Looking down, watching the courtiers swarming like ants into the palace, I have to say that this kind of forward-looking feeling is really refreshing.

As the ceremonial officer sang, Li Tong looked away, and then realized that his grandma was looking at him vaguely, hurriedly took a half step back, and hid behind the case.

At this time, the courtiers who entered the hall, although they knew that the acting king would be the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, but at this moment they saw the grandparents and grandchildren sitting and standing on the top of the hall, and the picture looked very harmonious, but it fell into the hearts of everyone. are different.

Of course, the most drastic changes in expression were those of the Wu clan kings who participated in the early dynasty.Originally, the design of the hall was to directly highlight the visual effect of the imperial seat and case. In the past, although Qianniu guards on the left and right were also on the left and right, they did not attract attention.

However, Dai Wang was already handsome, but now he is wearing that coquettish embroidered armor, and he is standing on the left side of the imperial case. .

So throughout the morning court, Wu Sansi and others all lowered their heads, avoiding looking up, until when they retreated, their necks were sore and unbearable.

Chapter 0379

Dai Wang, as General Zuo Qianniuwei, participated in the early dynasty from Shengjia, which brought a huge shock to the people of the current situation.

It doesn't hurt if a knife doesn't penetrate the flesh, and there is no adultery in the bed. No matter what the facts are, the information received by the direct sense organs has the greatest impact on people.

Although it is said that Wang Pin of the previous generation won special awards and envied others, these facts are still separated by a layer after all.Until today, when the courtiers saw the Dai Wang holding a knife in the palace and standing on the side of the throne, they realized most intuitively that His Majesty the Holy Emperor's favor for the Dai Wang had reached the level where he could entrust his life!

And Li Tong's most intuitive feeling about this is that after retiring from the court, Shiliu who came into contact with him has changed his title, no longer "King" but directly "His Royal Highness".

In fact, no matter the king or your highness, there is no conclusion on who is higher or lower. In many cases, the meaning of the title "king" even exceeds that of your highness.

Especially in the troubled times of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, when all the Hus and barbarians competed to be called lonely and widowed, there was no blood or heir relationship between them. The title of "king" is naturally higher standard, and Lao Tzu is the lord , Whose Highness is it again!

However, in the unified dynasty, the legal system and inheritance were emphasized, and the title "His Royal Highness" itself had a flavor of legal etiquette, so it was generally used for the royal family with a relatively special status.Of course, the prince of the East Palace is fine, but whether the princes can be called His Highness depends on the balance of favor and situation.

Li Tong became the heir to his uncle to honor the emperor, and now he can be said to be the eldest grandson of his grandmother, so of course he is qualified to be called "His Royal Highness".However, in such a sensitive season as Wu Zhou, succession was the focus of the current situation, and a mere change of title might be inferred that the grandson of the emperor was unwilling to be lonely and would not give up his right to inherit the great line.

Li Tong was already on the cusp of the storm, so it was unnecessary to overemphasize such a trivial matter and make people think a lot.But if you want to change your name, you can do whatever you want, I can't cover your mouths.

Of course, apart from this change in the details of the appellation, there are other differences, that is, the sudden increase in ineffective social behaviors occurred several times, and it happened directly in the Imperial City Office.

Although the Nanya Forbidden Army is under the control of the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang, they basically maintain a relatively independent state.Especially before and after the Tianshou Revolution, his grandmother Wu Zetian repeatedly sorted out the imperial army system, and basically eliminated those who had close contacts with the court personnel, so there were so many generals who came to power.

Therefore, in daily administrative affairs, the attitude of the courtiers towards the Imperial Guards in Nanya was basically that they would not communicate with each other as long as they could. Zuo Qianniuwei was located in Hengjie, and courtiers rarely communicated with each other on weekdays.

However, after the morning court that day, Luantai servant Yang Zaisi came to Zuoqianniuwei Yatang, pretending to ask His Highness the opinion of the acting king, to see if there were any long-standing shortcomings in the process of handing over the daily affairs of the two yamen that needed to be corrected.

Li Tong was not polite to Yang Zaisi, and directly asked this guy to take away Sima Gong, the Zhonglang general who had been imprisoned in the government office for a whole night.Yang Zaisi's expression at that time was not to mention how exciting it was. Ju Legao, the kid, reported afterwards that Yang Zaisi was smacking himself in a hidden place not long after he left the Qianniuwei Yatang.

Some other courtiers also used various excuses to appear in court.For example, the Shangfang Supervisor of the Shaofu sent someone to ask Zuo Qianniuwei if the cultural relics of Zhu Yuyi were damaged and whether they needed to be replaced. After touching His Highness's robes, he left contentedly, and turned around to deliver two large carts of mats, replacing the top and bottom of the Qianniuwei Yatang.

For this type of behavior, Li Tong was also quite dumbfounded.Everyone is optimistic about him and wants to associate with him. He does not reject this point, but can you spend your own money and send it directly to my king's residence?Using things from the public house, that is, my house, to curry favor with me, what a joke!

This is already the case in the yamen hall, so needless to say in the Wang's mansion in the square, there is an endless stream of posting visitors, and the traffic is directly clogging up the streets.

However, Li Tong's Daiwang residence is in the same square as Wei Wang Wu Chengsi's residence, so noisy, it naturally affected Wu Chengsi's home life. Jin Wuwei had to set up street shops in Jishanfang to avoid direct conflicts between the two kings' mansions.

General You Jinwuwei was named Yuan Lin, and because of this, he came to the Yatang to explain the whole story to the Palace of the Daiwang. There were many hints in his words that even if there was a conflict, the Jinwuwei would secretly help the officials of the Daiwangfu.

Although Li Tong had a smile on his face, he was already cursing secretly in his heart.Although it is said that there must be a tendency to take refuge in this, but there must be a group of people mixed in to add fuel to the flames, nothing more than to intensify the conflict between him and the kings of the Wu family, and they are simply afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

For example, Yuan Lin, the Right Jinwu Guard, repeatedly mentioned the in-law relationship between the Yuan family and the Dugu family in his speech, trying to convince Li Tong that if there was a conflict between the two families, the Jinwu Guard would definitely help him.

But Li Tong also knew that Yuan Lin had a cousin named Yuan Huaijing, who was an old member of his fourth uncle Li Danwang's residence. Not long ago, he drank with Di Renjie in Qinghuafang for several days.

Seeing this guy with red lips and white teeth still incites himself, Li Tong really wants to slap him across the face, but you probably don't know, your good son-in-law Zhang Shuo told me a long time ago!

It was certain that Li Tong was unhappy with the Wu clan kings, and he never concealed his tendency.But he wants to engage in the martial arts family, which is his own business, but he hates it when others use it to incite him and use it as a shield for others.

Although Zhang said that he was a little slicker, although he tipped off the news, it was only a vague hint, but he didn't make it clear how deep Di Renjie was involved in it.

However, this does not prevent Li Tong from writing down the account. I really think that I will go out with you to investigate the case as a general of Qianniuwei?Do you dare to ask me how to see it?Just ask if you have tasted the fist that is as big as a sand bowl, one knife will make your seven orifices into nine orifices!

Wang Xiaojie regained the four towns of Anxi, and Li Tong entered the heir to honor the emperor, which took on most of the hot spots at the end of the year, and also cooled the enthusiasm of the private visit to the emperor's heir, which made everyone feel at risk.

But this does not mean that the matter will be left as it is. As early as a few years ago, he went to Xijing to arrest Dou Xizhen's censor, Hou Sizhi, and then reported the case. approve.At the same time, the cruel official Huo Xianke, who was removed from office last year, was also employed again to supervise the censor and went to Runzhou to investigate the witchcraft case played by the state residents.

Not to mention, there is another Lai Junchen who even lost Li Tong, who is now hiding somewhere in the capital of God, and there must be a big event.

The so-called calm in front of me is just that the wind and waves are still accumulating strength.Although Li Tong didn't intend to help his fourth uncle share the risk subjectively, he was forced by the current situation and had actually done enough.

It can even be said without humility that the current period of peace is exactly what he won for his fourth uncle's faction.If those people still don't think of other ways to save themselves, they just stare at Li Tong and want to push him forward. If they really want to annoy him, they simply turn their heads and beat his fourth uncle to death with the Wu family, and then fight the Wu family head-on!

It's no wonder that Li Tong's heart is full of hostility. His long history Wang Fangqing has sent letters frequently recently, hoping that he can return to the mansion to sort out the affairs of the house in person.Many things have already lost their scale due to the fuel of others. If this continues, maybe there will be big troubles.

Li Tong himself was also anxious, but he really couldn't get away.It's not that the Wei Mansion is so busy with affairs, but that without him, Zuo Qianniuwei immediately stopped working!

On the first day he entered the Yamen, he frightened Wu Zaide away, and took Sima Gong, the general of the Zhonglang, into prison. He was very majestic, but he was immediately blocked.Apart from him as a great general, Qianniuwei has no more generals.

Wu Zaide was called to recuperate at home, but he did not submit his resignation form for a long time. Although Sima Gong was imprisoned, the autumn official of the Ministry of Punishment under Wu Sansi's charge has never been tried.The working relationship between these two people is still in Zuoqianniuwei. Even if Li Tong wanted to apply for a vacancy, Li Tong couldn't do it, so he could only be trapped in the Weifu, on duty every day, and couldn't even go home.

You always have to pay it back when you come out to hang out. After the prestige is over, now Li Tong is helplessly watching himself being put on the crater of the volcano, but Li Tong has nothing to do.

It's not that he didn't think that he would fall on his horse and go home to recuperate for a few days, but he also knew that if he really left Zuoqianniuwei, he might not be able to come back.Every day at court, Wu Sansi and others stared at him as if they were about to breathe fire. Once he took a sick leave, he would not be allowed to accompany his grandma to the court platform no matter what.

Although Zuoqianniuwei is only a guard of honor, it is useless at critical moments, but since it has explored this way and occupied this position, if there is a vacancy in other guards in Nanya, they can find a way to make up for it.

The so-called Sungong is a pawn, and if you bow down to Lao Tzu, you will become the supreme in the world, but if you are knocked out of your original form again, and you want to intervene in the imperial army system, you will not have the same conditions and opportunities as before.

Moreover, Zuo Qianniuwei itself is not worthless. Although it is only a gold-plated place for a group of second-generation officials, these second-generation officials also have great potential to be tapped.Now Li Tong can be said to be unparalleled in the Weifu, making people dare not sit while standing. How can he be reconciled if he doesn't teach these second-generation officials to be honest?

That's why Li Tong really felt that the Wu family was really shit, being a drag on teammates and a disgusting opponent.

Wu Sansi thought that he could disgust Sima Gong by holding back the case without trial, but he didn't want to think that Wu Chengsi had already been suppressed into a violent old man.Still fighting for the country?I simply don't know the general idea, I don't know what to say, and I'm worried for you!

After the early morning court that day, he was bored playing pot throwing in the yamen hall, when suddenly a thousand-ox-prepared Li Zhan came to the hall to ask for an audience.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Tong put away the arrows and put them on the table, and raised his head to ask.This Li Zhan is the son of Li Yifu, but when Li Tong came to this world, Li Yifu had already overturned, so he didn't have a deep impression.

After entering the hall, Li Zhan made a gesture of hesitation, and then whispered before entering the hall: "General, some members of the hall privately discussed leaving the Yamen in the afternoon..."

"That's it?" It's a small trick to check people and leave early. Li Tong has stopped playing now, not to mention that he himself has been staring at him for the past few days and wants to leave early, so he doesn't care when he hears Li Zhan's small report.

"It's Pei Si and the others. I heard that they were invited by the King of Liang to visit the mansion."

Li Zhan added: "Several people also invited the humble official, but the humble official thinks that His Highness is sitting in the hall and working hard, so how dare you slack off yourself, so you shouldn't."
