Crown Tang emperor

After the chaos, the country looks up to the elder, only this can make the world return to peace as soon as possible. The king is beyond the destiny. Once he is ruled by the chaotic heir, it will set off a new round of shocks and consume the already deeply destroyed vitality of the world. .

Of course, it's too long-term to think about those now.Now Di Renjie was a little uncertain whether Dai Wang did this just to confuse the situation, or whether he had other motives.

Chapter 0402 good longevity, must pay attention to divination

After Li Tong finished dealing with the matter of Di Renjie's son, he went back to Zuoqianniuwei Yatang to sit for a while, and was quite satisfied to see that all the preparations were still practicing diligently.You just have to practice, don't save money for the country, if you don't practice, where will I get the weapons to arm my cronies!

He called Li Lingwen, the general of the Zhonglang, and explained that there was already a candidate for the new Cao Junjun, who was preparing for the handover of the government treasury.

After doing all this, he had nothing to do, so he simply returned to the mansion.

The King's Mansion of Jishanfang was still full of people, Li Tong sat in the middle hall for a while, then went to the inner hall.As soon as she reached the corridor, Princess Taiping walked out of the hall, pointed at him and said: "All relatives and disciples are busy with your marriage, but you are like an outsider, and don't ask any questions."

After Li Tong heard the words, he said with a smile: "My relatives are helping you, and there are no shortages inside and outside. It is better to be loyal and diligent than sitting in the hall."

While speaking, he walked into the hall side by side with Princess Taiping.Although the younger sister Li Youniang and Xue Chongxun have already finalized their marriage, but the little guy is not in a hurry, he will wait until he is busy with his marriage before making the ceremony.

After chatting with Princess Taiping in the hall for a while, Li Tong pondered for a while, then waved his hands to screen away the crowd, then looked at Princess Taiping and said: "A few days ago, I was on duty with Master Xue in the Shendu Garden. Master Xue made a sound of anger, meaning Hidden."

He talked about Xue Huaiyi finding fault, but he didn't say it was against Wei Tuan'er.

When Princess Taiping heard this, her expression was a little unnatural, and she said in a low tone of resentment: "It is really hard for me and Mrs. Wei to lead the servant into the palace, so I didn't appeal to it carefully. That thief monk asked you because of this? He is really arrogant. arrogant!"

Li Tong had talked to Wei Tuan'er earlier, and when she heard that Princess Taiping had admitted this matter, she sighed: "It's hidden from my respected relatives, so I shouldn't be involved in this matter. My aunt is obsessed with it, and no one outside the matter can do it." Let me persuade you. But Master Xue’s honor and favor here is no longer simply due to the gain or loss of his family members.”

Xue Huaiyi's biggest label is of course his grandmother's boyfriend, but he has been active so far, and he is no longer just a simple face.As a general of Nanya alone, even if he can't use his power well, even if his grandma wants to move Xue Huaiyi, he still has to consider whether there is a suitable candidate to replace Xue Huaiyi's official position.

Moreover, Xue Huaiyi also had a meaning that is difficult to replace in the process of Wu Zhou's revolution, especially for Wu Zetian's personal myth.If he could be replaced by presenting a new male favorite, these ministers in the court would not watch Xue Huaiyi continue to show off.

So far, Li Tong still doesn't want to be a direct enemy of Xue Huaiyi, one is because of old favors, and the other is that he has no motive to fight against Xue Huaiyi.But he also had to consider that Xue Huaiyi couldn't figure it out, and when he was full of jealousy, he was pushed by the Wu family. He didn't dare to mess with Princess Taiping, but vented his anger on Wei Tuan'er.

"Of course I understand this, but if I'm a married woman, how can I harm him?"

Princess Taiping also let out a long sigh after hearing the words, then turned to look at Li Tong with no lack of hope and said, "Chenzhi, you now know how fierce that thief monk is, even if you don't want to make things difficult for him, he may not let you go. What do you have?" Good plan, leave it to me to execute!"

Hearing that Princess Taiping still had a deep obsession, Li Tong sighed again: "There is love in the stranger, and the funeral is a thousand feet fresh, which is not as good as the old love. Aunt, you are also an infatuated person. You should know that you have to give up, it is extremely subtle. No The story follows, there is no new thing to rely on, ordinary people and ordinary things, how can it distract people?"

Li Tong actually hopes that Xue Huaiyi can fade out of the current situation, and enjoy the scenery. There will always be a day when the European energy is exhausted, and he will leave while there is still room. Better end.

Of course, this is just his own idea. Whose life can people guide?Those Tang family veterans still hope that he can protect his fourth uncle from the wind and rain and do what Li Tang's children should do. If he doesn't go to Xuanwumen, what kind of Li family's children are he?

"Could you please be more clear?"

Princess Taiping asked again in a low voice.

"Those who are good at longevity must pay attention to medicine and divination."

After hearing this, Princess Taiping's eyes lit up immediately, and she murmured: "So that's it! So, no wonder, no wonder, Shenzhi, you really see it clearly!"

Some time ago, she did take advantage of the convenience of entering and leaving the palace, and brought a lot of people into the palace, but she could see that her mother might have some short-term entertainment, but she didn't take it seriously. Only after hearing Li Tong's words did she wake up.

Hearing this praise, Li Tong was a bit dumbfounded. He was not a friend of women, so he couldn't understand his grandma's life needs in detail, but after all, he was a prophet and could point his aunt in the right direction.

Although he was unwilling to confront Xue Huaiyi head-on, he would not obediently hand over Wei Tuan'er to appease his anger.What's more, with Wu Chengsi's appearance that day, it was obvious that he also spoke out.That being the case, there is no need to be rigid and conservative, and it is necessary to add a safety bar.

However, although he and that Imperial Physician Shen have known each other for a long time, they don't have a deep friendship.I am going to wait a few days to arrange someone to visit, one is to get in touch with the relationship through compiling medical books, and the other is to remind this imperial physician Shen to exercise well.

If Shen Nanqiu can successfully get close to his grandma like his original fate, Li Tong also plans to use Shen Nanqiu to make things happen that he previously planned to set up medicine monuments in prefectures and counties and promote medical popularization.

It can not only benefit the public, but also allow this doctor Shen to start a career. He does not hope to completely replace Xue Huaiyi, at least it can form a little check and balance.

In fact, if Xue Huaiyi is willing to follow Li Tong's advice and arrangements, Li Tong has thought about sharing love with Shen Nan, and gradually pulling Xue Huaiyi away from the capital of God. What a nice printing factory manager.

After receiving Li Tong's advice, Princess Taiping lost her mood and stayed to discuss his marriage. She left in a hurry, probably to find a private health practitioner for her mother.

After seeing off Princess Taiping, Li Tong planned to find his wife.Although this little lady is simple and open-minded, but seeing the whole family busy in order to marry the old woman, she must not be in a good mood.

Regardless of the pros and cons of this marriage, it is not acceptable emotionally.

After returning to the inner house to inquire for a while, Li Tong came to the back garden and saw the lady standing on the swing swinging back and forth, but her eyes were dazed and she didn't know where she was looking, and she didn't even notice her husband was moving.

Li Tong walked over, stood by the swing and waved his hands away to push the waiter away, and he swung the swing himself, but seeing that the lady was out of her mind, he didn't dare to swing too high.

"Ah! Your Highness, when did you come?"

It took a while before Tang Lingshu noticed Li Tong who was standing on the side, his eyes lit up, he turned over and jumped off the still swinging swing, the landing was a bit unstable, he staggered two steps before standing still.

Li Tong stepped forward quickly, and he was relieved when he saw that the lady was standing still. He raised his hand and brushed away a few strands of messy hair from her forehead, and said, "When your mind is free from now on, don't play these dangerous games again."

"I know, I know."

Tang Lingshu lowered his head after hearing the words, much more lively and calm than before.

Li Tong pulled his wife to sit in the pavilion by the lake, seeing that she was still silent, he sighed: "The love is new in the old year, I never thought that my wife and I would still be speechless."

"No, I have something to say, but I don't know how to say it. I, I knew that this day would come. Although I feel sad, it is not serious. But the family affairs are different from usual. They treat me cautiously, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable. .Who doesn't feel jealous, and I can't pretend that nothing happened..."

The lady frowned, spoke incoherently, covered her face and sighed: "Your Highness, can you let me leave the mansion for a few days? It just so happens that my family lives in Shendu, so I should accompany them too."

Li Tong also knew that this lady was simple-minded, and it was too embarrassing for her to face these things with her own eyes, so she nodded after hearing the words: "There is a lot of noise in the mansion, so it's better to avoid living outside..."

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the lady turned red, she grabbed Fu Lang's wrist and whispered: "Your Highness will not refuse to pick me up, will you?"

"How come? The lady is temporarily living outside, avoiding the noise for a while, but I have something to tell you."

Li Tong picked up the lady and said to her: "Since I entered Jishanfang, the place I live in is too eye-catching, and many things are not as calm as in the past. I think the lady will make arrangements in Luobei and deposit some personnel..."

After the brave warriors returned to the capital, they have been hiding in the suburbs, and Li Tong has never had time to make more detailed and proper arrangements.He planned to run a stronghold in Beishi and place the brave fighters in the city, so that he could not only receive the ordnance from the Shangfang prison nearby, but also rush to help in case of emergency.

I didn't want to disclose some confidential personnel to my family before, lest they worry unnecessarily.But now I have figured it out, if something happens, the family members will inevitably be tortured together, and a little disclosure can avoid being completely at a loss when something happens.

Hearing the secret from Lang Jun, Tang Lingshu's face tightened, and he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do it properly!"

"You don't need to ask yourself. It's good to know that there is such a thing. You can choose your own talents for specific operations. I and my wife are connected by life and death, and it is not because of ordinary feelings that we can alienate you. Don't worry about idle people. I will send my wife off tomorrow. Go to Luobei..."

Before Li Tong could finish speaking, Lego suddenly appeared outside the pavilion.In a hurry, he rushed into the tent outside the pavilion and saw His Highness sitting with Tang Ruren crossed legs, his face froze immediately, then hurriedly turned his head to look outside the pavilion, and said: "The palace envoy hastened to send, please Your Highness." Entering the Palace Suwei!"

Hearing these words, Li Tong's heart also trembled, Zuo Qianniuwei was not in charge of the daily duty at all, at this time the palace envoy came to report, there must be something urgent happening.

"The lady returns to the house first, take care of the young lady, don't go out!"

Li Tong stood up, gave a hasty order, took Lego and summoned Yang Sixu, and led the twenty guards in the tent to leave the house and go straight to Tianjie.

After returning to the government office, Li Tong saw that all the equipment was ready to go, and it was not the daily embroidered armor, but the real armor with actual combat protection.At the same time, his bright light armor and Qianniu sword had already been taken out from the government treasury, armed in the hall, and then led the crowd to Miyagi in a hurry.

Chapter 0403 rebellion and evil, the prime minister is guilty

Da Neixi went to the pavilion, Li Tong was wearing a bright light armor and holding a thousand bull knife in his hand. He did not stand on the side of the royal seat in the hall, but led all the guards to stand behind the court seat.From his angle, one could even see the hairs on the back of the courtiers' necks trembling slightly from time to time, and some of them even soaked their heads and feet in cold sweat.

It was completely dark, but the lights inside and outside the Xishang Pavilion were still brightly lit. In addition to the Qianniu Guard guarding the palace, the Habayashi Army and the guards of the Nanya Army also entered the defense with their elites. Two soldiers gathered inside and outside the palace. There are more than a thousand people, and the atmosphere is even more chilling than that of the Great Dynasty.

In the hall, all the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were present.In addition, there are the censors of Suzhengtai, the autumn officials of the Ministry of punishment and the members of the Sixing Temple.Even Wu Chengsi, king of Wei, who had not participated in politics for a long time, was present here.

"The case happened at the time of Xu last night. Zhang Sidou, a servant of Wangcheng Station..."

Su Zheng doctor Wei Yuanzhong stood in the center of the hall and reported the case in a deep voice.

Li Tong stood behind the courtiers, thinking silently in his heart. The distance between Tongguan and Luoyang, the god capital, is more than 600 miles, and Wangchengyi is still a distance to the west of Tongguan, nearly [-] miles away. By today's Youshi, the news was sent back to the capital of God. Under the traffic conditions of ancient times, this efficiency can be said to be extremely amazing.

On the line between Chang'an and Luoyang, Li Tong also traveled once, and it took almost a month for a one-way trip, so he still didn't have an intuitive understanding of the current level of Yichuan.Just looking at this time of Chiyi transmission, it is really not difficult to travel [-] miles a day between the two capitals.

Although Li Tong did not have the conditions to wander around the world, the two capitals were the center of the empire, and in the special period of Wu Zhou, the post road facilities must be the best in the world, so the news transmission between them must be the first in the world. top notch.If you want to pass the news to other places, it should not exceed this level.

Considering these, of course, is also because he always has an unruly heart.

Although it is said that the central government is light and the localities are weak, and the general situation can basically be said to be settled if the forbidden army is taken care of, there are still some armed forces in the localities, especially some frontier states in the northwest to guard against the Turks.

Knowing the speed of information transmission from all parties is also very helpful for making things happen. To make up for the time difference, don't make trouble here in the two capitals, but be surrounded by teachers from all sides.

boom!

A muffled sound from the hall interrupted Li Tong's train of thought. When he looked up, he saw his grandmother Wu Zetian's face was ashen, and she clenched her fist and slammed it heavily on the imperial case.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! The fate of the country, there is such a bold treason! There are still a few places in this world that can be called kings!"

He said it was ridiculous, but Wu Zetian's face was not happy, the slightly sunken eye sockets were flickering fiercely, and the clenched teeth made his face look a little wider. Very angry.

It's no wonder that Wu Zetian was so furious. Even Li Tong was shocked when he first heard the news, and he sincerely admired the hero behind the incident.

Hou Sizhi escorted the criminals eastward to return to the capital, and went to Wangcheng Station. Seven criminals were detained, including Dou Xizhen, four members of the Dou clan, the former imperial historian Xue Jichang, and two officials from Xijing, all of whom were strangled in the posthouse!

Even without considering the cases of these people, their respective identities are already extraordinary, and the place where they were killed was in the core area controlled by the empire.No matter what the intention is, this behavior is a naked provocation, provoking the majesty of the entire empire!

Before Wu Zetian had finished speaking, all the prime ministers left the table and stood up, and made obeisances again: "The crime of rebellion and evil is serious!"

The prime minister is very important, and he is responsible for coordinating and assisting the superiors and restricting the king, and restraining all officials and governing the world for the subordinates. It is absolutely unavoidable to be blamed for such a vicious incident.If the situation continues to escalate, the current set of prime ministers is very likely to be overthrown collectively.

Seeing the prime ministers kowtowing and pleading guilty, Li Tong subconsciously looked at Wei Wang Wu Chengsi and Liang Wang Wu Sansi who were sitting in the banquet, with deep suspicion in his heart.

The current set of prime ministers, especially Li Zhaode, the servant of Fengge, was built after the power of the Wu family kings was emptied.If this case can be used to sweep all the prime ministers out of the court, the situation of the Wu clan kings will naturally be greatly improved.

Among other things, if the kings of the Wu family were not swept out of the political affairs hall, Li Tong would not have been able to ascend to the position so smoothly, and even the current royal team may not be able to form, let alone talk to the Wu family when they have nothing to do. The guy stared.

There are quite a few people who have the same idea as Li Tonghuai. At this moment, many people in the hall are looking at King Wei and others from the corner of their eyes.However, Wu Chengsi didn't have any complacent expression on his face, he also had a solemn expression, his brows were deeply frowned, especially after he felt the eyes of everyone shooting at him, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I pay for the affairs of the state, but there are rebellious and vicious people, of course there are crimes! But before we discuss the crimes, what should we do with the immediate matter?"

Wu Zetian continued to yell at the case, his eyes turned, and he stared at Wei Wang Wu Chengsi: "Does Wei Wang have a plan?"

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help feeling a sudden, bypassing the prime ministers and directly questioning Wu Chengsi, although he also expressed that his grandma had doubts and made a probe, but Wu Zetian was already very dissatisfied with the prime ministers.

Wu Chengsi was named and questioned, and hurriedly got up and went into the hall to kneel down, and said in his mouth: "I have been raised in a high position and honored, and I have been away from current affairs for a long time. I heard of the murder at first glance. It is true, it is true...but the thieves are so disregarding the law of the country and the power of heaven. Please investigate to the end, and the perpetrator must be executed to demonstrate!"

Hearing Wu Chengsi's answer, Li Tong's doubts about him inevitably dispelled a little.If Wu Chengsi ordered someone to do this, then naturally there must be a follow-up link, but Wu Chengsi's current performance is as ineffective as ever, talking nonsense and doing nothing.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy has increased his IQ, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, keeping a low profile, not showing his teeth, and picking the fruits of victory through his own incompetence and harmlessness.

Wu Zetian in the hall frowned after listening to Wu Chengsi's answer, apparently having a similar thinking process as Li Tong.After a moment of silence, she looked back at Li Zhaode, Fengge servant, and said, "What the King of Wei taught is what is urgently needed. Investigate the murder case thoroughly, strictly punish the criminals, and never let them go lightly!"

Li Zhaode kowtowed and said: "Please lead your staff to investigate in person! Suzhengtai, Shangshu Qiuguan and Sixing Temple immediately push the old case for trial, communicate internally and externally, and pursue the culprit!"

The thieves were so bold that they dared to commit crimes between the two capitals, and they were not caught immediately, which shows that it is definitely not a cross-border crime.It is also a normal operation to cite old cases, track down related matters, and conduct on-the-spot investigations at the same time.

But in this way, it will inevitably lead to a new round of shocks, directly interrupting the state of being temporarily suppressed after the Changshou Changyuan.It is really unpredictable what kind of disturbances will be caused by the recitation of the old case.And once this is done, the most direct consequence is that the cruel officials will run rampant in the world again.

But from Li Zhaode's standpoint, it's okay for him not to make such suggestions.This case slapped the entire imperial court in the face. As a prime minister, if he still proposed to make a major issue smaller, he would really be looking for death, and it would be the kind of ruin.

As soon as Li Zhaode's words fell, Wei Yuanzhong, the official of Suzheng, also expressed his opinion: "This murder is extremely rebellious. It can no longer be seen as a murder case. It should be investigated as a conspiracy! I invite two elite troops to investigate strictly!"

"Yes, give Hanoi Wang Yizong Zuo Jinwuwei General and Marching Chief to pursue rebellion with Fengge Li Shilang. Once verified, he will be killed on the spot!"

Hearing Prime Minister Chen Zou, Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Suzhengtai and other departments will send their cadres out with the army. Quickly investigate, and don't lose even one thief!"

After hearing this, the faces of the kings of the Wu clan in Diandian were obviously overjoyed.Li Tong sighed secretly after hearing the words, no matter how it is usually, at this critical and sensitive moment, his grandma still has a partial trust in her nephews from the Wu family.

Wu Zetian made this appointment in an unquestionable tone, and the prime ministers are now in danger, and they dare not forcefully block this appointment.Of course, even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it.

In addition, there are some other orders, such as the dereliction of duty Hou Sizhi and the officials of the state and county where the crime occurred, all of them were deprived of their official positions and temporarily served as consuls in vain.Even Lou Shide, who stayed behind in Xijing, was deprived of Yiyingsan, title, and post, and temporarily stayed in Xijing to wait for his punishment.

In this way, Lou Shide can be said to have returned to before liberation.However, before there was any new progress in the case, Wu Zetian severely punished Lou Shide, which also revealed his doubts about the officials in Xijing as a whole, or the nobles in Guanlong, thinking that they were going to abandon the car. Bao Shuai.

In fact, Li Tong also had speculations in this regard. The relationship between Dou Xizhen and others who were killed was really important. They were powder kegs, and if they were detonated before returning to the capital of God, they would also receive a stop loss effect.

Even Li Tong himself hadn't considered the possibility that Dou Xizhen and others would not be able to return to the capital of God alive, after all, he himself was not clean.

An impromptu meeting lasted until midnight, and the officials retreated one after another, while Li Tong led the crowd to prepare, and continued to stay in the palace with the Habayashi army.

After he left the palace, he arranged for everyone to prepare for their respective positions, and just returned to the front of the palace, a female official came out and said: "Your Majesty summoned His Royal Highness to have a meal in the inner palace."

When he came to the inner hall, Li Tong saw that Wu Youning, the great general of You Yulin, was already dining at the table. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He went up to the hall to see the ceremony and then went to the table to eat. Suddenly he heard a clang from above. It turned out that his grandmother was dozing off and knocked over. Cups and saucers.

Li Tong hurriedly pinched his thigh, left the seat and bowed deeply, walked forward on his knees, kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "I am incompetent. I see my benefactor restless, and I can't work hard to share my worries..."

Seeing this, Wu Youning threw down his food and drink in a hurry, and knelt forward and said: "I only hope that my heart will be devastated, and I hope that my body will be healthy day and night!"

Wu Zetian also woke up and turned around, seeing the two of them kneeling in front of the table, with a weary smile on his face, he raised his hand and waved them to return to the table for dinner, but he didn't even want to say anything.

After a while, she said again: "Careful, the wedding is coming soon, so don't be too busy. When you return to the mansion tomorrow, focus on housework first."

"Beloved relatives work hard, day and night are abnormal, how can I focus on my family's private interests, I would like to stay in the house and guard the night!"

As soon as Li Tong finished speaking, Wu Youning said hastily: "The acting king's loyalty and filial piety are commendable, but the imperial court is not short of manpower, so why bother acting as the king..."

"Jianchang Wang Liang's teachings are profound, and it's prudent that he never speaks. Stay overnight and return to the mansion tomorrow. Stay within your duties and don't cause trouble."

Before Wu Youning could finish speaking, Li Tong clasped his fists in salute, and then stood outside the table, just looking at his grandma and wiping away tears.

Wu Youning glanced at him, raised his hand tentatively, but couldn't do that after all, so he could only retreat back to the table sullenly.

Chapter 0404 everyone in danger, make a phase

Early the next morning, General Dou Lu Zhensong of Qianniuwei led another batch of ready-made people to take turns. Li Tong didn't want to go home exhausted, so he went back to the Weifu Yatang to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.
