Crown Tang emperor

Now knowing that King Yong'an is quite a playboy, Ouyang Tong just smiled wryly at himself.He just did what he should do, and the rest didn't have to think too much.Besides, King Yong'an's temperament is not necessarily a bad thing, but when he thinks of the innovative brushwork, he can't help but sigh.

Later, when Xiantai rectified the government, there was a servant censor who proposed to impeach Ouyang Tong for his power and arrogance. Ouyang Tong was punished for the crime of being rude and rude, and he was allowed to cut his salary.

This matter still has a lingering aftertaste, and it has been circulated privately in Taiwan Province that Prime Minister Zhang Guangfu and others talked about Ouyang Tong's roaring at the Feng Pavilion, which really damaged the minister's physique and was not a good choice for handling affairs in the palace, so there is a high probability that he wanted to treat Ouyang Move the knife, just wait for the limelight to slow down.

After all, Fengge's neglect of Zongwang is not without fault.Moreover, the conspiracy of the kings brought out another big fish. The minister Qian Weiwei was transferred to the post of internal history, Zuo Suzheng doctor, Lifeng Pavilion, and Xiantai officials. He is also implicated in prison now. It is unknown how much the Second Department will be dragged out. Those in the same case, there are even rumors that Zuo Suzhengtai and the constitutional Ge Fuyuan will be passive, everyone will police themselves, and for the time being, they don't have much energy to take care of other things.

The tide of the outer court was higher than the last, but the atmosphere in the palace was basically calm.

Without Zhong Shaojing's concern, Li Tong completely gave up on the Inner Literature Museum, and concentrated all his energy on the Inner Teaching Workshop.

Of course, he was also a little embarrassed by this accident.The heroine is in charge of the country, and the heartstrings are tense inside and outside. He doesn't have much involvement in personnel affairs in the big house, so it's okay to make small moves.However, the complexity of personnel disputes in the foreign court was far from being something that he could lightly deal with now.

Seeing that people are not burdened by shoulders, Wu Zetian was able to lead the country as a heroine, calmly, because she stood out from the palace battles, was honored by the two sages, and years of training developed her current level of strategy.

Compared with this kind of master, he is really immature. He can implicate many people by stretching his legs and feet here. If he really wants to be bright and stalwart, he will feel that his life is a sin.

Right now, I can still think about it as a fluke, that is, Ouyang Tong probably doesn't have many good friends with such a temper, and Li Tong himself is a little grandson who is completely harmless. It's not worth his grandma's heart.

But everything can be looked at from both sides. Although Ouyang Tong is famous, he is not party or party. He is suitable for establishing his prestige without worrying about too much involvement.It is not impossible for Wu Zetian to kill Ouyang Tong and implicate Li Tong by the way.

But now that this is the case, it is useless to think too much, but it made Li Tong realize that it is too happy to choose Neijiaofang and even plan in the future, and to position himself as a marginal person in the current situation is a good way of thinking.

Even if a good swimmer dies from drowning, it is really not good for a novice like him to rush into the dangerous river and sea directly. He should just squat aside obediently, watching how other people excel and suffer, and accumulate some experience.

However, after the magic box was opened, it might not be closed again as he wished.

On this day, Li Tong was still watching the actors rehearse a hundred operas in the Inner Teaching Workshop, but Zheng Jin from the Institute of Renzhi came to visit in a hurry, not to represent Fang to ask their brothers to play truant, but said solemnly: "Master Xue is here to visit, Currently in the courtyard, the concubine asked Mr. Lang to return to the courtyard as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He knew very well that Xue Huaiyi enjoyed a profound and transcendent status among the holy family during this period, and even Princess Taiping, his own daughter, was far behind.The person came to visit, and he didn't know the good and evil, so he had to go back quickly to find out.

Chapter 0056

Zheng Jin went to the Inner Literature Museum first, met Li Guangshun, and then hurried to the Inner Teaching Workshop.

So Li Guangshun also came with him, and brought the small schoolbags of the two who skipped classes, so there was no need to go back to the Inner Literature Museum, and went straight from the Inner Teaching Workshop to the Renzhi Institute.

"Auntie returns to the hospital, don't tell your mother where she visited me and Saburo, just say that you can study in the inner literature hall with peace of mind!"

On the way, Li Shouli was worried and kept telling Zheng Jin that he was afraid that his empress Fang would find out about his misdeeds of skipping classes.

After Zheng Jin heard the words, he just snorted coldly, and felt that King Siyong was really naughty, not only was he naughty, but he even seduced her family's young master, who was tired of learning and pursuing pleasure. He really didn't have the appearance that a brother and head of the family should have.

Of course, Zheng Jin didn't know that her young man was far from being as obedient and obedient as she thought, and he didn't tell the truth when he opened his eyes. Even Li Shouli became more courageous because of his instigation.

Naturally, Li Tong didn't know and wasn't in the mood to resolve Zheng Jin's prejudice and misunderstanding, so he frowned and asked, "Why did Master Xue come to visit suddenly?"

"It's said to be the supervisor of Ciwutai, but there is no long-term servant in the house, and the concubine and others are just looking at each other through a screen, so it's not easy to ask too much detail."

Hearing Zheng Jin's answer, Li Tong felt a little calmer.He was a little suspicious by Zhong Shaojing's accident before. In fact, thinking about his family's relationship with Xue Huaiyi, there is really no relationship at all, and there is no interest involved. It is normal for him to visit Ciwutai, and it is naturally beneficial outweighs the disadvantages.

During this period of time, Li Tong has also been thinking about how to get in touch with Xue Huaiyi, regardless of the future, at least if he can build a relationship now, he can indeed leverage a lot.

As for how to get involved in this relationship, he still has no idea at the moment, after all, they don't understand each other at all, and he can rely on his talent in poetry and prose, so it may be difficult to seduce the other party.

Although the people in Renzhiyuan were not banned from going out, before the three kings entered the literature hall to study, there was no order to go in and out.Right now the three brothers each wear goldfish charms, but no one else in the courtyard has any.Zheng Jin went out to look for the three kings this time, and he still borrowed Xue Huaiyi's talisman order to go unimpeded.

Xue Huaiyi's amulet was different from that of Li Tong and the other three, it was a golden tortoise talisman embedded with purple.Li Tong took it from Zheng Jin and played with it for a while, and the relevant understanding naturally came to his mind.

In the early Tang Dynasty, internal and external officials of the fifth rank and above all wore fish charms and fish bags to show their status and respond to orders.In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign, this scale was expanded to more than nine grades, and knives and pouches were made into fish shapes and scorpions were hung.During the reign of Empress Wu, he sensed the fate of the talisman, and changed the fish talisman to the turtle talisman because of Xuanwu, and the so-called golden tortoise son-in-law in later generations began from this.

It's only been four years, but Xue Huaiyi has already worn the Golden Turtle Talisman first, which shows the benefits of having people on it and direct access to the imperial couch.On the abdomen of the tortoise talisman, Xue Huaiyi's official titles are engraved: General Zuo Weiwei, Duke Liang.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong just slandered him. It was a dirty relationship, but he still wanted to show his affection. Sooner or later, he would die!

Xue Huaiyi's talisman level is not comparable to that of Li Tong and the other three. It can be said that he can travel freely without any scruples. This saves the trouble of detours and greatly shortens the return journey of the group.

If he hadn't rushed back to the Institute of Renzhi, Li Tong would have taken this opportunity to take a closer look at Da Nei. He didn't have any sinister intentions, just pure curiosity, wanting to see the areas he couldn't step into before. What is it like.

He also asked Zheng Jin why Xue Huaiyi was so big-hearted that he didn't even send anyone to follow him when he borrowed the talisman order?Zheng Jin only replied that Xue Huaiyi was admitted to the hospital alone, and there was no follower before and after, but shortly after his arrival, other palace officials visited, but Xue Huaiyi asked the palace staff of Renzhiyuan to screen him away.

Hearing this answer, Li Tong became curious.Looking at this appearance, Xue Huaiyi seemed to come to Ren Zhiyuan temporarily, the purpose seemed to be to avoid someone, could it be Princess Taiping?

He didn't continue to think deeply, no matter what the reason was, it was natural to return to the Institute of Renzhi.

A group of people walked all the way, and the distance was greatly shortened. It actually took more than half an hour to bypass Jiuzhou Pool, which was two-thirds shorter than usual.Of course, this is also because there are palace guards and imperial guards along the way to guide them, otherwise even with the turtle charm in hand, they would not know how to take the shortcut.

The Institute of Renzhi was already watching, when suddenly a call sounded from a corner of a remote palace wall, Li Tong turned his head to look, but found that it was Xu, the former director of the Institute of Renzhi, and motioned for Zheng Jin and others to wait here for a while, while he Turning to walk over, Li Shouli also followed with a curious expression.

"The concubine pays homage to the king."

Mrs. Xu held back her skirt as a gift, glanced at King Siyong who was standing beside King Yong'an, and looked at King Yong'an uncertainly.

Li Tong nodded slightly, indicating that Mrs. Xu had something to say directly.He had a faint bad premonition in his heart, which had been haunting him for a few days, and seeing Xu's dignified expression at this time, the feeling inevitably became stronger.

"There are people who visit the King's family in private, and even concubines are visited in private. The concubine is in charge, so she can't leave for a long time, and she dare not be admitted to the hospital. She waited outside several times, and finally saw the King today!"

Xu's face was full of worry, and what he said made Li Tong even more frightened.

"Do you know who is visiting?"

Li Tong's voice trembled slightly, not because he was timid, but because he had a deep understanding of danger.

Before that, he had analyzed with confidence that even if the cruel officials from the outside world wanted to frame his family, they would not be able to grasp the specific situation of his family. Then he was informed by Xu that someone had visited his family in private. There is a sense of crisis that is about to come.

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath. Although there was no change in expression on her face, her face was full of solemnity: "Yes, it is the envoy of Zuo Jinwuwei General Qiu Shenji..."

Sure enough, sure enough!

Li Tong's mood sank sharply, and even his body shook imperceptibly.

"Qiu Shenji? This dog thief is spying on my house..."

Li Shouli's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and a terrifying hatred burst out of his usual lazy eyes.

"Don't panic, don't shout!"

Li Tong raised his hand to stop Li Shouli, and said comfort to himself.

His judgment is generally correct. The family has been imprisoned in the deep palace all year round. Even if they have some sense of presence recently, the cruel officials from the outside world rarely dare to peek at the forbidden and bite their family.

But this logic only applies to general situations, and Qiu Shenji obviously doesn't apply to this type of relationship. They have a life-threatening friendship, and it's the kind of relationship that won't kill you and I'll take your surname!

In the first year of Hongdao, Emperor Gaozong Bintian, and in the first year of Guangzhai in the second year, Qiu Shenji was ordered to go to Bazhou to force the death of the former prince Li Xian.Naturally, this could only be Wu Zetian's instigation, no matter how greedy Qiu Shenji was, he didn't dare to seek favor out of peeping, so he decided to kill a former prince on his own.

The logic is also very simple. In just two months, Datang changed three emperors one after another.Therefore, although the crown prince Li Xian bears a bad name, he has been in the reserve position for a long time and has gained a lot of reputation. In terms of reputation, he is afraid that he is even higher than Li Xian who was just deposed, let alone Li Dan who suddenly ascended to the throne. .

Although Wu Zetian manipulated public weapons, she was also full of crises. Under such circumstances, naturally, any risk must be eliminated. It is imperative to get rid of Li Xian, the popular choice.Li Xian was abolished on the sixth day of February, Li Dan was established on the seventh day, Li Chongzhao, the grandson of the emperor who stayed in Chang'an, was abolished on the eighth day, and Qiu Shenji was sent to kill the deposed prince Li Xian on the ninth day.

After coming to this world, Li Tong has been thinking about a question, that is, where does the crisis haunting their family come from?It is true that Wu Zetian used power to steal the country, and being a member of the Li family was the original sin.

But if it is true that Wu Zetian deliberately harmed and tortured for a long time, this is actually a bit too much for their family.

With the death of their late father Li Xian, the three poor children who lost their parents were really not worthy of Wu Zetian's attention. Only when all the rest of Wu Zetian's descendants died, could they pose a threat to his grandmother politically.

Li Tong wants to survive, and gradually realizes the fact that his grandmother Wu Zetian is a big guard, and the elite monsters on the way can also kill him.Right now, he regards Wu Zetian as an imaginary enemy, and he can only fight against the air.

It's not that they are relatives of the next generation, Wu Zetian will definitely not kill their grandchildren, but that their positions are very different from each other, and they are not rivals on the same level at all.

Right now, Wu Zetian speaks powerful words, and in fact she doesn't have too many opponents, especially the prime ministers, whose spines have not been completely broken at the moment. This is the real threat that can kill her.For example, the prime ministers Cen Changqian and Zhang Guangfu who led the troops out during the rebellion of the King of Yue, especially Zhang Guangfu, will be slaughtered next year.

The prime ministers of this period still had a certain restrictive effect on Wu Zetian, such as Li Zhaode faced with court disputes and culled demons.During the years of Tianshou, more than a dozen prime ministers died in a row around the battle for succession, and only then did Di Renjie and the like, I call you the old man of the country, and you smiled at me in a friendly manner.

Only by understanding these can we understand why Li Tong's dislike towards Qiu Shenji became famous.

If there are still people in this world who can't forget Li Xian's descendants, they must be put to death, and Qiu Shenji, the actual operator who forced Li Xian to be killed, must be put to death.

Li Tong had already doubted whether Qiu Shenji was instigated by Sergeant Guo Da of the Hundred Knights secretly contacting the Academy of Renzhi, but since there was no aftermath, he gradually ignored it.

At this moment, after being reminded by Xu, he finally realized that his previous uneasiness was subconsciously associated with Zhang Guangfu, who was in Zhong Shaojing's accident, and Qiu Shenji, who also returned from the chaos.

"A-Actually, this summer, when the king and others entered the department for internal review, some people hinted that I would keep the concubine and others...Although the concubine is fierce and stubborn, she doesn't dare to dare to frame Chunliang, it's just, just..."

At this moment, Mrs. Xu was also talking about the old things with a nervous face, and seeing that King Yong'an did not blame her, she sighed again: "The person who visited me this time is still an old person, and I got it from her. You know, the one who wants to trap the king's family is Qiu Shenji..."

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but gasp again, the dog thief will never die!It turned out that there were clues to the small tricks before, and the isolation between the inside and the outside was always difficult to operate. In addition, Qiu Shenji went to Bozhou to quell the rebellion shortly afterwards, so the framing of his family was temporarily suspended.

Now that he came back with meritorious service, his arrogance was even higher, and seeing that the situation of King Yong's family seemed to have turned around, he was worried that the palace should hesitate, so he revealed his identity and wanted to continue to kill their family!

Chapter 0057

After figuring out the logic behind this, Li Tong's mood became even heavier.Fortunately, he controlled Xu's before, and he was generous and tolerant later, and the relationship with each other became closer. This is the scene of Xu's tipping off at this moment.

Otherwise, he is afraid that he will not even know how he died, and be a fool in the underworld!

"Xu Dian passed on this letter of righteousness this time, and kept righteousness engraved in his heart. If there is no generous reward in the coming year after escape from disaster, heaven will not tolerate it!"

Li Tong crossed his hands and saluted Xu sternly. Right now, he really has no other way to express his gratitude.

Xu pulled back her skirt and said with embarrassment on her face: "How dare I, my concubine... If it wasn't for your majesty's generosity, I don't know if my life will be safe or not. I just hope that your majesty will release me from my past... The only thing I can do now is how to deal with the murderer. I wonder if Your Majesty has a good plan?"

As she spoke, she looked expectantly at King Yong'an again.

Xu's mind is not pure.Now she is tied to the life of Yong'an Wang's family, and there is no room for her to bounce back.Although Qiu Shenji's power flame is high, it is only in the outer court, and King Yong'an's control over her still exists.Even if she obeyed Qiu Shenji's orders, she would get nothing but rewards, but if she lost her life, no amount of money could buy her, and the Buddha in the Grotto could not protect her.

Moreover, Xu also has a deep memory of King Yong'an's fierce methods, and he has no lack of confidence.The situation of King Siyong's family has improved, the three kings are enrolled in school, and the Ciwu Terrace to commemorate the former prince will be built soon. As long as they can overcome Qiu Shenji's difficulties, there is great hope for prosperity.

Seeing Xu's expectant eyes, Li Tong's face gradually calmed down, but his heart became a little heavier.I'm afraid this time the difficulties will be difficult.

As the General of Zuo Jinwuwei, Qiu Shenji is the real general in charge of the army, how is he different from the banned female officer like Xu?

The personnel affairs in the outer court are complicated. Through Zhong Shaojing's incident, Li Tong has already experienced it deeply. He just gave birth to a bit of compulsion to retreat, and if he doesn't want to turn around, he will have to face Qiu Shenji's life-and-death threat.

Although the current situation of their family has improved slightly, it seems to have some effect in his grandma's eyes, but this little use is better than nothing, and it must not be compared with the current Qiu Shenji.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the prime ministers had always had a tradition of going out and coming in. The Yue Wang Li Zhen and his son's rebellion this time was different from border troubles. The troops mobilized were directly from the inland states. You must know that Yuzhou is just next door to Luoyang.

The water has passed and the ground is wet, and the prime minister leads the troops to suppress the rebellion. Who knows if they have reached a tacit understanding with the Nanya soldiers?Now Wu Zetian seems to be killing all directions, but in fact he is already in a very dangerous situation.

Although Qiu Shenji was born in Li Tang's family of founding meritorious service, this old boy didn't learn well. Just being ordered to go to Bazhou to force Li Xian to be killed, he can be regarded as Wu Zetian's iron porcelain supporter.Right now, it is an important chess piece used by Wu Zetian to control the soldiers in Nanya and check and balance the prime ministers.

On the one hand, life is the most important thing, and on the other hand, it is better than nothing, and the two cannot coexist. How should I choose, and do I need to teach?

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, the reason why Li Tong was not completely desperate was that he knew that although Qiu Shenji had a momentary power, he would not be able to gain Wu Zetian's complete trust after all.

Wu Zetian had a fanatical desire to control power. The more powerful Qiu Shenji was, the more dangerous he was. In fact, it was true that Qiu Shenji was taken down by Wu Zetian not long after the reforms in the first year of Tianshou!

But the problem is, Wu Zetian still needs Qiu Shenji and the prime ministers to restrain each other.However, if because of the existence of Li Tong's family, Qiu Shenji would have a feeling of anxiety and self-doubt, this is what Wu Zetian would not want to see. Sacrifice one or two dispensable grandsons to ensure Qiu Shenji's immediate future. Control, it is very worthwhile.

If this logic holds true, Li Tong will be able to understand what happened to their family in the original history: During the reign of Tianshou, Li Guangshun was flogged to death by the executioner. Although Li Shouli was also tortured, he was still protected by Wu Zetian because of his heir. , to leave a line of incense for Li Xian.At this time, the opportunity to get rid of Qiu Shenji came, and he raised his sword and dropped it.

Regarding his own life, Li Tong did not dare to excuse his grandma wishful thinking, but he did feel that the turmoil during the Tianshou years should not be Wu Zetian who wanted to eradicate their family, otherwise there would be no reason for the grandson to be killed, but the daughter-in-law survived .

It should be noted that Li Dan's wife did not even have a place to bury her, so that after their father and son took power, they could not visit the corpse and could only summon their souls for burial.Blood relationship can no longer prevent Wu Zetian from killing, let alone non-blood relationship.

Concubine Fang and Zhang Liangyuan were able to survive the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and even lived to the Kaiyuan period, probably because of Wu Zetian's indifference to their family, and their family did not have the qualifications and energy to threaten Wu's power.

The level is different, the mentality is different.All affairs need to be cut and rooted out, so what kind of disputes between Li and Wu will there be in Wu Zhou Dynasty?It wasn't just the Li family who were ruined by Wu Zetian. Wu Chengsi and the others also had their noses and tears a few years ago.

Now Qiu Shenji was full of malice towards their family, and he made it clear that he wanted to put them to death. For Li Tong, it was really a critical moment for his life, and it just depends on who can't stand it first.

Seeing Xu's expectant eyes, Li Tong was also a little embarrassed for a while. It's not impossible for him to fight Qiu Shenji, and there are more than one.But these thoughts are also the tragedy of putting oneself to death and dying with the enemy.Even if Qiu Shenji is brought down, he will definitely not end well!

"I will remember this matter. The thief eats blood to get fat, rapes and invites pets, and now he is even more proud of his achievements, voyeuristic and selfish. The time of death will not be long, and justice can be expected in a moment!"

Although his heart was still full of a sense of crisis, Li Tong still slowed down his tone and said to Xu in a calm manner: "At present, Master Xue is visiting in the courtyard, and I have to return to receive him urgently. It is difficult to explain carefully for a while. Xu Dian There is no need to take this as a serious problem, after you return, you will be safe and straight to the case, so as not to give the thieves any room to open their teeth!"

"Master Xue? Is, is Master Huaiyi? He, he went to Renzhiyuan... Yes, the Queen Mother misses the late king. Master Xue's visit must be a reminder of affection! Congratulations to the king, alas, concubine, concubine is really... Please forgive me, my lord!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her pupils lit up immediately, and the gloom on her face was instantly swept away, so that she was so excited that she was a little incoherent.Inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, who doesn't know the intimate relationship between Xue Huaiyi and His Majesty the Emperor?Now that I have personally visited the Academy of Renzhi, it is only at the request of the Emperor!

Seeing Xu's surprised gaffe, Li Tong was also in a complicated mood for a while.Wu Zhou Dynasty was full of monsters, no matter what he thought of Xue Huaiyi in his heart, but his visit at this time did bring him and the people around him a lot of comfort.

Right now, he is still in a passive situation. Even if he knows that Qiu Shenji is full of malice towards his family, there are actually not many ways to take the initiative to respond before the other party actually makes a move.So for the time being, I can only borrow Xue Huaiyi's name a little bit, at least to appease the Xu family, and ensure that my side will not catch fire in the backyard.

"Your Majesty, please come back quickly, come back quickly, don't neglect Master Xue, don't wait too long!"

Although she didn't hear any specific plan from King Yong'an, Xu's mood was completely different at the moment. She stepped forward and raised her hand to give it away and said with a smile: "Although I am a concubine, I still have the idea of ​​being grateful and righteous. Please rest assured, your Majesty, there will be no miscellaneous rumors leaked from me! Although the thief is rampant, it is difficult to keep his eyes open. He is also a serious crime. I will inquire carefully and keep it for help. Your Majesty punishes the traitors severely!"

"The main thing is to be cautious and protect yourself. The day when the thief is awarded the head is the time when my family pays more attention to the righteousness of the people!"

Li Tong still wanted to give a few more instructions, but thinking that Mrs. Xu had been in prison for more than ten years to make a living, since he was alert, he didn't need to give more instructions.

So he nodded to Mrs. Xu again, and then called the silent Li Shouli to the waiting place where Zheng Jin and the others were waiting.

"Xun, Sanlang, I will study music seriously, and wait for the emperor to invite me to favor me!"

After walking a few steps, Li Shouli suddenly spoke, with a rare solemn and serious expression.

After Li Tong heard the words, he glanced sideways at him, then nodded, and patted the shoulder of this usually inconspicuous brother heavily.

He often laughs at himself at his teammates, and he has no lack of resentment for his second brother, Li Shouli, who can't help with matters big or small and has to be on guard against making trouble.This kid is heartless and doesn't seem to have any sense of crisis. He is very relieved to be able to say such words at this moment.

Li Shouli, apart from being the only surviving son of Li Xian and famous for having many heirs in the Tang clan, actually had no sense of existence.
