Crown Tang emperor

In Qinghuafang, the northern city of the Divine Capital, all the canals converge on the left and near, and Beishi is just one square to the east.And because the square is close to the east city of the imperial palace, and not far from Cangcheng, many imperial guards live here, and even the Jinwu Guard has a special official office here, and many imperial guards also buy properties and settle here.

After Tian Dasheng entered the workshop, he transferred to a mansion next to the canal. The area of ​​this store is not large, half warehouse and half guest house.After Tian Dasheng entered here, a servant in the shop took his donkey away to feed, and he was also led into one of the guest houses.

Every inch of land is expensive in Qinghuafang, and the area of ​​the guest house is not large. There is a simple couch lying across it, and there is only room for two beds.Not long after Tian Dasheng sat down, the owner of the mansion came walking quickly. He was a bearded man nearly forty years old. After entering the house, he asked Tian Dasheng: "Brother, do you want to see Shiro?"

Tian Dasheng nodded, and said: "As soon as possible!"

The strong man nodded and retreated, Tian Dasheng waited in the guest house for nearly an hour, and then a young man in plain linen and short brown strode in.

"Uncle has already entered?"

After Guo Da entered the room, he turned back and closed the door tightly, and then he asked Tian Dasheng nervously. When he saw the other party nodding, he let out a long breath, sat on the bed opposite him, and said with his knees: "It's a good thing that Uncle did his job. Hurry up, you won't be able to see me if you are one step behind, just received the military order at noon, Baiqi will have to join the guards at night, and I don't know how many days it will be before I am out of the palace."

Seeing Guo Da's happy face, Tian Dasheng recalled the experience of the Wang residence not long ago, and couldn't help but said: "Silang, you are very careful, we grass and wild people may not be able to meet your wishes. Although we met today, the king's reaction is not It's not you, I infer several..."

He frowned, recounted what the King of Hedong had said in detail before, looked at Guo Da and said, "I know that Shiro is eager to take revenge, and I would like to help you succeed, but after thinking about what the King said, it is not unreasonable. We committed such a crime. risk……"

After Guo Da finished listening, he was silent for a long time, then left his seat and knelt in front of Tian Dasheng, and said in a concentrated voice: "Uncle, because of my urging, I took the risk rashly. Uncle Yu, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that it's useless to talk too much. If the king hadn't sent a letter to encourage good people before, now I'm just afraid..."

"Uncle is able to enter the king's mansion and be seen by the king, so it can be seen that the king is really, really worthy of the lives of our wild men. Please tell the king, uncle, I urge uncle to see, not because of being unreasonable and lacking in patience , I am afraid that the king will be harmed by treachery..."

"what happened?"

After Tian Dasheng heard the words, his expression changed suddenly.

"Earlier in the ban, the king sent me his kind words. I was very grateful and wanted to repay it. After careful inquiry, I found out that the one who murdered the king's father was actually Zuo Jinwu Wei Qiu Shenji! I followed Zhou Xing's traces before, Seeing him coming in and out of Qiu's house frequently, and Zhou Xing's dogs and thieves have many enemies, and there are many Jinwu guards guarding him when he goes in and out, so that people can't be assassinated. Thinking about everything carefully, I'm afraid that Qiu Shenji will collude in order to eliminate future troubles. Zhou Xing framed the king..."

"And these secrets?"

Tian Dasheng's eyes widened in astonishment after hearing the words. He is a small official in the workshop, how could he know about these upper-level intrigues.

Guo Da sighed: "There are so many details, I can't go into details. But uncle, please tell the king that I am definitely not fabricating lies because of my family enmity. I really want to sacrifice my life for the king and eliminate the two thieves ! Your Majesty is going out of the pavilion to set up a mansion. I am afraid that there is a hidden murderous intention. Even if your Majesty refuses to believe my sincerity, please do not ignore the warning and join forces as soon as possible to avoid being harmed by treachery..."

Chapter 0111

Inside the imperial city, everything seemed calm, but murderous intentions were actually hidden.

After the uprising by You Qianwei happened, Wu Zetian returned from the Ming Hall to be the director of the Xishang Pavilion. Even if she went to court on weekdays, she would be escorted by guards of honor from the Imperial Forest Army.

The reason why this matter is not known to the outside world is that apart from avoiding the self-danger of the Nanya Forbidden Army, Wu Zetian does not want to implicate Pei Judao, the general of Youqianwei who just arrived in Luo from Xijing, because of this matter.

However, although the forbidden area was calm on the surface, it was closely searched inside, but the details involved were so extensive that even Wu Zetian could not believe it.

Wang Cizheng used to be Sima of Bianzhou. He joined the army due to the rebellion of King Lizhen of Pingyue, and was assigned to the command of Prime Minister Cen Changqian's rear army. After the war, another prime minister, Zhang Guangfu, reported his meritorious service and recommended him to be a supplementary guard.Moreover, Wang Cizheng and the Gong family of the wealthy Bianzhou family are still relatives, and Gong Sigu, who joined the army in Shanzhou, was his son-in-law.

After Wang Cizheng was imprisoned, he never said a word, but the network implicated by him went deep to the center and spread all over Heluo.If this is really a big net connected together, even Wu Zetian would not dare to expose it easily.

It has been more than ten days since the incident happened, and now is a sensitive moment when both inside and outside are vigilant, and everyone is tense. If it is delayed, what kind of chaos will arise.

Although she was still a little bit unwilling, Wu Zetian still had to hand over the matter to the foreign court, and executed Wang Cizheng and other people with convincing evidence of the crime to show that the matter was temporarily over.

After the imperial edict was sent to Fengge, Wu Zetian asked the cabinet hall to send a map, drawing a pen to outline a network drawn from Wang Cizheng: Fengge, Nanya, Luozhou, Shanzhou, Puzhou, Xiangzhou, etc. wait.

From the list alone, the mystery may not be deep, but marked on the map, it can be seen that this is a layout that covers Guanzhong, Hedong, Henan, Hebei and deeply penetrates the capital of God!

"I will never die..."

Wu Zetian murmured, with tired eyes, raised his hand to pick up a memorandum drafted by Wu Chengsi, and proposed to set up the seven temples of the Wu family in Shendu. After holding it in his hand for a long time, his eyes flickered Not sure, but in the end he gritted his teeth and put it in the cage that was temporarily stored on the left side of the case, but the sternness and unwillingness between his eyebrows became more and more intense.

Although he felt helpless for the time being and was in a bad mood, Wu Zetian did not indulge in these negative emotions for too long, and soon he calmed down and began to deal with the matters presented by Fengge today.

"Report to Your Majesty, Master Xue outside the palace is asking to see you."

A maidservant walked up to the hall to report in a low voice, Wu Zetian just nodded slightly after hearing the words, but did not speak, and the speed of reviewing the memorials did not slow down.

After more than an hour, the memorial to the case was reviewed, and the sky was completely dark.Taking a sip of the hot soup served by the maid, Wu Zetian groaned for a while before speaking again: "Huaiyi is still outside the hall? Let him in."

Not long after, Xue Huaiyi, who was dressed in a colorful monk's robe, walked up to the hall. There was still a long distance from the throne. Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness to me, I am willing to see you."

Seeing Xue Huaiyi like this, Wu Zetian was overjoyed, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Come here, tell me, what is your crime?"

Xue Huaiyi crawled forward on hands and feet, and when he was more than ten feet away from the imperial case, he raised his hand and lifted off the monk's robe. The back wrapped in the middle coat was bound with a few thorns and vines, and some small thorns had pierced the shirt, Bloodshots came out from his back, and Xue Huaiyi's shiny head was tapped on the back of his hand again, and he said in a low voice: "I apologize..."

Wu Zetian's face was quite relaxed at first, but when he saw this scene, he suddenly turned cold, and raised his hand to signal the palace maid to break off the thorny vines on Xue Huaiyi's back, and raised his hand to play with it for a while, before his tone became indifferent: "Today we will stay here in the battle." Who is Wei? Submit to the right guard for interrogation, can chores outside the palace be easily restricted?"

Although Xue Huaiyi was prostrate on the ground, he was also peeking at the emperor's expression. After hearing this, his forehead was sweating profusely, and he hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "I am guilty, guilty..."

Wu Zetian lowered his head, glanced at Xue Huaiyi who was kneeling deeply outside the case, and said with a smile, "Master, you haven't told me yet, what is your crime?"

"Chen, minister..."

Xue Huaiyi glanced sideways at the servant girl who hurried out of the palace holding a thorny vine, and hurriedly restrained her mind: "The crime of my minister is self-doubt. Heaven's grace is majestic, and no one can save you. If your majesty is happy, you can't hurt me. If your majesty is angry, you can't be hurt." No one in the world can save...all the people in the world, if everyone is good, why is there a need for the king to teach Dunhua? People cannot avoid knowing the wrong. , is putting the cart before the horse..."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he was a little bit astonished at first, then his brows relaxed, and after a while, he said in a concentrated voice: "I'm afraid Master's words are not selfish, who taught you?"

"Yes, it's the King of Hedong... The young king left the pavilion yesterday, and the minister sent him back to the mansion. The King of Hedong taught me..."

Xue Huaiyi didn't care about being questioned by the God Emperor, and immediately explained all the conversations he had with Li Tong last night.

"Their brothers have already left the cabinet?"

Wu Zetian asked casually, she really didn't have the energy to pay attention to these trivial matters recently, and then looked down at a thorny vine in her hand, curiously said: "The young king didn't teach you to plead guilty."

Xue Huaiyi heard the words, sweating profusely on his forehead again: "Before the minister enters the palace, he first returns to the White Horse Temple and chooses someone to be employed by the young king's mansion. He is afraid that he will not show dignity by pleading guilty with empty words, and then he will ask the faint monks and officials, so as to teach me... "

Hearing this, Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing: "Obviously I have received good advice, but I still ask stupid words again. The one who reveals the truth is you who have troubled me!"

She smiled and threw the thorny vines on the ground, her face turned dark again: "The kid is stupid himself, and still has tricks to teach others? It is nothing more than a little bit of morality, and it is a coincidence that he did not deceive others or himself. That's right, they are brothers. Where is the residence?"

"In Dunan Luxinfang."

Hearing Shenhuang's tone, Xue Huaiyi knew that this test had been passed, and when he asked about the young king, he quickly said: "There is a minister in the outer court, who really insulted the young king's ignorance. desolate……"

"Ignorance? That kid, heh, I'm afraid he has two or three more mind openings than Master."

Wu Zetian said casually, and then said to the maidservant in the palace: "Go and get the map of Duji, and let the young king come out of the cabinet."

The servant girl left as she said, without hesitation, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed in a simple skirt, walked up to the palace, and behind her were two female historians with their respective scrolls.

Wu Zetian took the map of Shendufang first, looked at it for a while, and finally found the location of Luxinfang in the southeast corner, and said, "It is indeed a bit remote."

Seeing this, Xue Huaiyi hurriedly said, "Not only is it remote, but there are also a lot of hustle and bustle roaming around here, and the smell is suffocating and disgusting."

Wu Zetian nodded slightly after hearing the words, and said: "The young king's kind words are beneficial to you, and Master should repay you. The guards will choose another [-] battles, ten pairs of armor swords, and give them to the king's residence. Go."

Xue Huaiyi was a bit disappointed when he heard the emperor drive him away, but he felt relieved when he thought of the melancholy in his heart being resolved, so he kowtowed and thanked him again, and then retreated to the hall.

Wu Zetian looked at the back of Xue Huaiyi's exit, but his eyes wandered a little, and his thoughts drifted away. After a while, he retracted his gaze, and raised his hand to pick up the volume of detailed rules about the process of the young king's exit from the cabinet, and read it from beginning to end , Frowning or frowning.

"The little thief is greedy and steals a lot of my palace goods! No wonder he dares to give Huai Yi a good word. It turns out that he himself is arrogant because of his favor. He has the courage to be restless in the room and insists on being arrogant and indulgent. It's really disgusting!"

Although he said angry words, the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth turned up, which shows that he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Shangguan Wan'er stood respectfully on one side, but she was also listening to the emperor's words. She didn't know what happened before, and she was a little curious why the emperor suddenly remembered the young king's affairs again, but when she heard the emperor's nagging words to herself, her heart Still secretly feeling a little happy for the young king.Whether it is praise or criticism, it is always a blessing to be able to chat and think about it.

As soon as her thoughts diverged here, she heard the emperor ask again: "A few days ago, the young king lived in the forbidden area, and Wan'er often saw her. From what you think, how is the young king?"

Hearing this question, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt dizzy. Although she treated Yong Wang's family with some caring behavior, she rarely violated the rules. She tried not to make visits when she had nothing to do. Why did she come to the Emperor's place and she became a frequent visitor? ?

But since the Emperor of God said so, she didn't dare to forcefully argue, and after a moment of pondering, she bit the bullet and replied: "My concubine came to visit for some business, and what I saw of the king seemed simple, but the inside was meticulous, and everything was listed in my bosom. Loss of clear sound and elegance, can be complicated, can be quiet. More subtle, it is really hard to distinguish with my humble eyes, so I dare not force it.”

After Wu Zetian heard the words, she laughed again: "The feast of "Vientiane" is beautiful and elegant, and the boy is talented, and he can do complicated things. Be quiet? I don't think so."

In blood, he is my grandson.

But Wu Zetian didn't say this sentence, she just raised her hand and looked at the young prince's mansion to help everyone, and after looking at it for a while, she frowned slightly: "It's no wonder that even Huaiyi is making injustice. I really despise my grandson, what kind of talents are selected? Wang Hewang Pavilion is busy, what spare time do you have to worry about the government affairs? It is useless to have a position, so it is better not to use it. Take Lintai official Zuo Ji to register."

Not long after, the records of Lintai officials were sent again, and Wu Zetian waved to Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Enter the front and choose together."

Shangguan Wan'er felt dizzy when she heard the words, and stepped forward cautiously. Seeing that the God Emperor was frowning, she casually pointed and said, "Lintai Chen Ziang..."

"Shu people are very vocal, and they often have self-proclaimed aspirations that cannot be stretched out. They look at the situation with a sharp eye, and they are not suitable to be friends with the young king."

Wu Zetian groaned for a while, then shook his head and rejected the proposal, and after some more selection, he selected one person. He took a pen and picked up the leftovers of Li Xianzong, the school secretary of Lintai, and selected him as the chief history of Prince Yong's mansion, replacing the original chief history Wang Hewang.

When Shangguan Wan'er and the female historians sorted out the records and withdrew, Wu Zetian fell silent again, tapped on the imperial case with her fingers, took up a pen and wrote it in the Xuanxian mansion of Jishan and Shangshan two squares in the south of Tianjin Bridge to Zuo Jinwuwei General Qiu Shenji It is his home, and then he will seal it up and wait for the announcement in the next day.

Chapter 0112

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the layout of the city should be in harmony with the sky. The so-called diverting Luoshui to run through the capital is like Tianhan, crossing the bridge to the south, and pulling cows by law.Therefore, Dingdingmen Street in the south of the city is also known as Tianjie, and Tianjie goes straight to Luoshui Hengqiao, so the bridge is named Tianjin Bridge, Tianhe Jindu.

Because Tianjie is directly connected to Tianjin Bridge, many dignitaries live in Fang districts on both sides of the street.And Jishan and Shangshan, which are adjacent to the south of Tianjin Bridge, are even more expensive among the nobles. Those who can settle in these two squares are all the first-class dignitaries in the country.

Qiu Shenji, the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, was born in a family of great heroes of Jianye, and he himself was the favorite minister of the emperor, with a high position and authority.Especially on the first day of the fifth lunar month, the God Emperor bestowed Jishanfang Jiadi as his home, which brought this honor to a new height.

On the day that Qiu Shenji entered Jishanfang, congratulators gathered in the workshop, and the traffic and horses made the street so crowded that many people who came to congratulate were blocked in the Tianjie, making it difficult to enter the workshop.

Qiu Shenji's new residence was originally the residence of Wei Ji, the emperor's favorite minister.In the past, when the emperor ordered the construction of the Eastern Capital, Wei Ji was appointed as the supervisor. Therefore, Wei Ji's old house is also extremely gorgeous, and it is the most powerful residence in the capital of God.

In the spacious mansion, it was overcrowded, and there was a lot of singing and dancing, especially the middle hall, which was more expensive than the prince's house, which made the people who entered the hall amazed, and they were all proud to be able to attend it.

Qiu Shenji had been receiving guests in the central hall for a while, but he also felt a little tired, so he ordered his disciples to receive guests here instead, and he went back to the inner hall to rest for a while.

After recovering a little bit of energy, Qiu Shenji ordered the door servants to bring Chen Mingzhen, the subordinate of Qiantang Ruhe, the general of the Jinwu Guard, here.

"Congratulations to the general, His Majesty the God Emperor has given me a special reward, there is no right to be honored!"

Chen Mingzhen walked into the hall and spoke enthusiastically after saluting.

Qiu Shenji was wearing a Yanju robe with a purple collar, which lacked the majesty of a general in command, and had the elegance of a wealthy and idle man. Hearing what his subordinates said, he smiled and waved his hands, signaling Chen Mingzhen to enter the table , Then he said: "It's just a place to live in. His Majesty the Divine Emperor, the sage Lord, gave me this old body again, and he didn't hesitate to reward. It also encourages you young and old to work hard and work hard. No worries, no rewards."

"The subordinates are able to follow behind the general, and often get a lesson. Everyone is envious. I look forward to sharing my work for the general!"

Chen Mingzhen sat in the table, still complimenting her unabated.

Qiu Shenji chatted with him for a few more words, then his expression gradually turned cold, and he said in a condensed voice: "The young king has been in the workshop for a short time, what's so strange about his behavior at home?"

After Chen Mingzhen heard the words, he briefly reported what he saw during the inspection, and assured him: "Please rest assured, the general, the general has set up eyes and ears outside the workshop, and will never miss any abnormalities."

"Just outside the square? Not enough, not enough! The young king is honorable, and a Wuhou shop will be added in the square, so as not to leave any omissions!"

Qiu Shenji frowned and said, his tone became a little anxious.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Chen Mingzhen's face, and he said: "The last general wanted to do this, but he was blocked by Hegong County. He sent someone to question him, and he said that it was Master Xue who told him that the palace should be full and that no more Marquis Wu should be appointed." Disturbing the people..."

Hearing this, Qiu Shenji's face flashed with gloom again, and he said in a deep voice: "Then set up a large shop in the nearby workshops, the bastard himself is not calm, and still have the energy to take care of the rest? Wait for my order, and be ready at any time Rufang, dare to stop me from exerting force, I want to see how long he can relax!"

Chen Mingzhen obeyed the order, and then got up to leave.

Qiu Shenji stood under the corridor of the inner hall, looking around the courtyard to admire, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

All the people in the outer hall congratulated him on his honor and favor, but only Qiu Shenji, the person involved, could understand the profound meaning of the mansion bestowed by the emperor. It was partly a gesture of favor and comfort, and partly a warning.

Although his former residence in Qinghuafang was also a prosperous place, when it comes to luxury, it is still far inferior to this new residence in Jishanfang.However, Qinghuafang is located in the Jinwu Guard Office, which is next to his house, which makes it easier for him to control the people of the Jin Wu Guard, such as Chen Mingzhen and other subordinates, often simply obey his orders in his mansion.

But now that they have moved to Jishanfang, the price is more expensive, but they don't have the convenience of the past.Living under the eyes of the Emperor, many details that were appropriate earlier must also be regulated, and can no longer be arbitrary.

Qiu Shenji could also sense the plans of the Emperor Shenhuang and Xini, and was not happy that he was entangled in the affairs of King Yong's family anymore, but it took him a lot of effort to drive King Yong's family away from the palace, how could he just stop there!God Emperor allowed advance and retreat, how could he experience his feeling of no way out!

You Yuqianwei's conspiracy earlier made Qiu Shenji feel a little uneasiness and crisis.Although the Emperor of God is wise and decisive, but he is not young after all, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate in the current situation, and there is still no peace in the palace. Although Qiu Shenji's loyalty is not diminished, he has to consider the issue of the future.

King Yong's family has always been a big threat overhead, if it cannot be eliminated, Qiu Shenji will inevitably feel restless.In particular, the attitude shown by the Emperor on this issue is far from the ruthless and decisive one of the old year.Even if his own son didn't show any pity, he actually showed some nostalgia for his grandchildren, which shows that the Shenhuang's state of mind is quite different from yesterday.

"Could it be that you are really old and soft-hearted?"

In addition to the problems of King Yong's family, Qiu Shenji also felt that the emperor could not escape the erosion of time because of the recent events in the court.

You Qianwei plotting such a big thing, according to the temper of the emperor in the past, he still hasn't investigated it to the end!But this time it was calm, and there were only a few generals of the imperial guards involved in the torture, which was very different from the emperor's previous style.

"The water is deep in the city of God, so it's better not to live here all year round!"

The sense of crisis in his heart also made Qiu Shenji a little upset.Recently, he is also thinking about the way out. First, whether King Yong's family must be removed, and then he should seek a foreign job and make progress based on the border town. In this way, even if the political situation in Shendu is reversed, it will be less affected.

But if you want to be appointed abroad, in addition to obtaining the approval of the emperor, there should not be too much resistance from the prime minister, and it is best for the governor of the foreign state to get one or two assistance.All kinds of piles must be considered comprehensively.

"Leave a few scorpions in peace for a while!"

The current situation is chaotic, all sides are attracted but not released, everyone is full of thorns and treacherous schemes, Qiu Shenji does not dare to be the first to break the situation, so as not to attract the attention of everyone and attack in groups.Right now, he is full of glory and favor, and there is a lot of room for waiting. Once the current dullness is broken, he can use his strength to get rid of King Yong's family!

--------

In the palace of Luxinfang, Li Tongduan, who had not taken off his court clothes, was sitting in the middle hall, looking dumbfounded at a young man in the banquet.The young man is in his 20s, wearing a Taoist robe and a small crown, out of fashion, and dressed in a foreign style. He is Shi Li Xianzong, the new head of Yongwangfu appointed by his grandmother.

Originally, he was very excited. He got up early at dawn, and the three brothers happily went to participate in the Shuo Ri Dynasty.Seeing Qiu Shenji being rewarded in the mansion in the court hall was already very unhappy, but he didn't expect that there were more things that made him unhappy.

Their brother's palace already gathered a group of people with no ambitions. Wang Hewang, who was the only official in charge of Fengge, was able to act as a face, but he didn't expect that Wang Hewang would be slapped after only a few days. Send this Li Xianzong.

Who is Li Xianzong?This is not important, what is important is that his grandpa is awesome, the half-immortal of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng!

Regardless of Li Tong's mood, at least everyone in the palace was very excited when they heard that Li Chunfeng's grandson had entered the palace. Look inside the probe.

Although Li Xianzong is not very old, but his family has a long history, he already has a bit of a fairy spirit, a handsome face, clear eyes, and he can be at the table comfortably when facing the enthusiastic look of the people in the palace.

But it doesn't mean that there are no people who can't disturb him, for example, Li Shouli, King Siyong, is one.
