Crown Tang emperor

The strong soldiers who rushed in held up their torches for a little identification, and then someone drew a knife and chopped down.

"The strong man..."

Poor Xu Junchen has gone through turmoil and is self-sufficient, but he was killed by this group of rioters who suddenly acted up. Before he could cry out for mercy, his head flew away from his body.

When Quan Chulin, who was still in the front hall of the county government office, heard the news, he was speechless when he saw Xu Junchen's blood-stained head. Slashing can only be used as waste for a while, grab the head and wipe it, and then go to the county prison where the prisoner is held.

At this time, the Chang'an County Prison was also overcrowded, and the prisoners detained there had long been disturbed by the sound of fighting from the county government office, and gathered in the prison building full of fear.

But not all the prisoners were overwhelmed with panic. Cui Ye, who was accidentally captured before, knew that there was a rebellion plot in Beijing, and now seeing the riots started, he was full of excitement.

When several rebels rushed into the prison hall with knives, Cui Ye first listened to their discussion and confirmed with each other, and then shouted loudly in the prison house: "Are you waiting for General Quan's army? I am a disciple of the great king of Linzi. Come and save me, let’s make great plans together!”

Not long after, Cui Ye, who had escaped from prison, was led to Quan Chulin, and Quan Chulin naturally recognized him, raised his hand and raised Xu Junchen's head, and quickly said: "Xu has been executed, but the county government still has The stubborn soldiers resisted, and the street gangsters outside the square will arrive soon, can you help me with your plan?"

"Leave it to me!"

Cui Ye patted his chest to promise that Quan Chulin ordered the people to release all the detainees from the prison and drive them into an empty courtyard.

Although Xu Junchen had released a group of people before, the Yinfang people who were detained before were still in prison. In addition to the criminals in the county government, there were more than a thousand people.Everyone panicked, and the scene in the compound was extremely noisy for a while.

But this was not enough to affect Cui Yezhuang's surging mood. He raised his legs and jumped onto the high platform just built, holding Xu Junchen's head in his hand and shouting to the crowd: "The treacherous minister of the state, the imperial servant Xu Junchen tortured and abused you, The people here are all being persecuted! Now there are righteous people breaking the yamen to eliminate rape, Xu has already been punished, you don't have to worry about being tortured again!"

When everyone in the courtyard heard the shout, they started discussing again, most of them were still confused about the current situation.

Cui Ye continued to shout: "The world is unfair, the world is not governed, and people can only save themselves to be free! The old emperor Bintian, the trust of the family and the country are not human, the demon queen dove occupies the magpie's nest, and Xu Junchen and his ilk all harm the world. Minions of the people! There was an article in "Jiu Niao Fu" before, and it was complaining about the story of the demon queen who harmed the country. What is the crime of the people? In order to prevent fair discussion, the imperial court even made the criminals..."

"So that's it, it turns out... I haven't done any evil in my life. I don't know why I offended him. It turns out that there was a dog official!"

At this moment, voices of grief and indignation began to be heard from the crowd. After hearing these voices, Cui Ye's smile grew wider, and he continued to shout: "The demon queen, who has harmed the country, has been captured by the heavens! The minions who abuse the people!" , has been eradicated by righteous men! But there are still misfortunes in the world. Today, it is called the heir of the Tang family, but in fact, the demon empress hides the scum of the clan, and is still bewitching the world. And a grand burial, if it is done according to the plan, there is still justice in the world? Is there still right and wrong in the world?"

Cui Ye was full of enthusiasm when he said the words here, and the artistic conception of his prose was deeper, but the previous interviews and discussions were all superficial, and he couldn't directly apply to the saint, which made him quite resentful.He had to bear it before, but now that he has raised an issue, he can finally shout it out in public.

However, the reaction of the crowd was beyond his expectation. They didn't suddenly realize the ugly face of Jinshang, but they all exclaimed and cursed: "What kind of evil words are the dogs talking! How dare you slander the saint!"

"How can this be righteousness and anti-evil, clearly gathering people to plot chaos!"

"The demon queen has her own evil deeds that harm the country, but the saint is the savior of the world, how can you allow thieves to slander her!"

The crowd shouted one after another, and Cui Ye, who was standing on the high platform, was a little at a loss, but when Quan Chulin saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, disperse these thieves, don't make any noise... "

However, after realizing that these people were plotting chaos, the crowd also became noisy, and some prisoners cursed: "Although I don't claim to be good, I just steal donkeys and punish them. Dog thieves are weary of the world and want to die, don't implicate me! "

"A foolish king doesn't know the way, a foolish subordinate doesn't know, there are wise men who preach, and they still don't listen..."

Standing on the high platform, Cui Ye felt heartbroken and indignant when he heard the cries of these foolish people blindly.

However, at this time, a person suddenly rushed into the audience, and rushed towards Cui Ye with all his hands and feet, still roaring angrily: "I don't need to know, I just know that I should attack you, you bitch! Kaiyuan Afterwards, it is rare to live in peace, but there are thieves and evils who harm the world..."

Cui Ye was caught off guard by this attack, and immediately rolled into the crowd below the stage. The crowd was also indignant at this time, and the crowd rushed forward, and their fists and feet fell like a torrential rain, completely submerging him in an instant , and soon beat the wise man who wanted to save the world and failed to fulfill his ambition to death.

Quan Chulin and the others never expected that the prisoners they took the risk to rescue not only did not respond with gratitude, but directly turned against each other and retaliated against them.

"Don't let these traitors get away! It's rare to find a big villain, and you can get a reward if you catch it! I only pay fifty dollars for stealing donkeys, and if you catch a thief, you can add ten thousand to the government!"

The donkey thief managed to squeeze into the crowd, but saw that the villain who wanted to lure them into chaos had been beaten to death. Feeling that there was no way to vent his anger, he turned around and saw that the thieves around him were about to retreat, so he opened his arms and shouted loudly Well, these thieves are much more valuable than a skinny donkey, and they don't have to worry about being fined, so how can they be willing to let them get away.

The criminals detained by the county government were unexpectedly not cooperative enough. Instead of achieving the goal of inciting public sentiment, Quan Chulin and others fell into chaos.

The Beijing camp was suddenly banned, and the power was not enough. Tonight, they had to go out and enter the workshop to take risks. These prisoners detained by the county government were an important part of the plan.

Therefore, before the action, Quan Chulin had been admonishing them not to kill or injure these people in large numbers, but he did not expect that these planned accomplices would become a stumbling block to hinder the plan, and it was not just one or two pieces, it was simply a mass of reefs.

A series of punishments from staying in the mansion and the state capital before made it difficult for them to adjust their characters.It is also because of the old advocacy of righteousness that he finally gathered people together, but the sticks he used were hasty and crude.

Therefore, the main reason for being able to successfully break through the county government was that they had taken the initiative by surprise. In addition, Xu Junchen's entry into the capital caused the county government to be overwhelmed and chaotic, and most of the government officials fled in a hurry.

But when the fierce resistance really broke out, all the disadvantages of the hasty uprising were exposed. It was just these unarmed prisoners fighting back, which made the rebel party members burnt out.

"Go, go! These ignorant thieves don't understand morality, and they are not worth saving their lives..."

Among the chaotic crowd, Quan Chulin tried his best to push away the crowded crowd, feeling regretful in his heart, if he had known that the foolish people were so stubborn, he might as well have invaded the other capital's vital points.

But if Quan Chulin knew what was going on outside the workshop, the remorse and depression in his heart might feel better.Originally, he thought it would take some time for the Jinwuwei street disciples to react, but soon after they entered the workshop, they quickly mobilized and surrounded them.

"Wang Xianggong frequently warned that we should be more vigilant, and the accident should be among them!"

Chen Mingzhen, the general of the Jinwu Guard, rode his horse and rushed to the street. After hearing the noise in the square, his expression was not frightened or angry, but rather excited.

He has the ability to predict the future, but under the reminder of Wang Fangqing, the governor of Yongzhou, he has also taken precautions in addition to the original patrol arrangement recently. Chaos in Beijing.

Because of the addition of these personnel arrangements, it is possible to detect the disturbance as soon as it occurs and respond quickly.

"Surround this place quickly, and no one is allowed to escape! Thieves are tired of life and want to die, so let me wait for the street to sit on the ground and share the work!"

Even though Chen Mingzhen was excited, he was vigilant, and immediately ordered people to block the surrounding area, and sent officers to patrol the surrounding areas to strictly blockade and not allow people to leave without authorization, in case there are still remnants of the party.

At the same time, he did not forget to report to Wang Fangqing who stayed in Zhizhou Prefecture.After the abolition of the Southern Yamen, although the Jinwuwei was retained alone, its military color became more and more diluted, and more of its work was security inspections, so some matters had to be communicated and coordinated with the prefectural and county government offices.

Sheng Jia is not in Beijing today, and one of the left behind, Duke Ying, has black teeth and is old and sick. Although the Eastern Capital sent Yao Yuanchong to take over the Beijing camp, it is difficult to make flexible personnel arrangements in a hurry.Therefore, the Jinwu Guard, who had already retreated to the second line, became the protagonist of the military force in Beijing at night.

This is naturally a rare opportunity for the entire Jinwu Guard. Of course, we must make every effort to clean up the mess and wipe out the thieves, so we don't want to leave the credit for others to step in and pick them up tomorrow.The emergency dispatch of Wang Fangqing, the governor of Yongzhou, is the legal basis for the Jinwu Guard's large-scale eradication of chaos.

When the envoy of the Jinwu Guard arrived at the state capital to report the change, Wang Fangqingshang was sorting out the documents in the straight hall. After listening to the report, he didn't feel flustered. He just asked Chen Mingzhen carefully about the contingency plans that Chen Mingzhen had made. Several orders were issued in succession, most of which were to send people into the square for defense, or to detain the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing, including the residence of the third son of Xiang Wang.

Originally, such a letter order should be issued by the left-behind mansion. Although Wang Fangqing is also one of the left-behind mansions, it is not in compliance with the regulations in the Zhizhou mansion right now to investigate further.

But emergency needs expediency. Li Zhaode's previous business-like and meticulous attitude had already made Wang Fangqing suspicious and worried that he would not be able to keep things pure. That's why he had the practice of reporting to the Eastern Capital. Naturally, he would no longer stick to the old ways regulation.

In addition to the personnel arrangements in the capital, Wang Fangqing sent his staff to tell Yao Yuanchong, who is currently guarding the capital camp, through a secret passage, that as long as the capital camp is not chaotic, even if there is a commotion in the capital tonight, it is not a problem.

Although I have some reservations about Li Zhaode in my heart, I still need to communicate what should be done in the matter.So after finishing all the arrangements here, Wang Fangqing sent the government officials to urgently report to the left-behind mansion in Da Neizhong, and then sat in the mansion, waiting for news from all parties.

After Yao Yuanchong returned to Beijing, the Beijing camp was sealed off, and all the soldiers of the Beijing camp were evacuated from Gyeonggi and returned to the camp in the west of Beijing, which naturally included the team of soldiers outside the residence of the King of Linzi.

Although the king of Linzi and Jing Yinglang had conspired long ago, these eyes and ears were useless for a long time, but most of the government officials did not know this, and they lived in fear every day, and now the sudden evacuation really made people breathe a long sigh of relief .

Perhaps to celebrate the lifting of the ban, a large banquet was held in the mansion tonight, and people came and went frequently, making it very lively.

On the attic of the empty house on the side of the square gate, Tian Shaoan rubbed his sore eyeballs, turned to ask the person in charge of recording and said, "Don't miss any personnel who come in and out today. It takes a long time to set up a net, just waiting to be captured."

While speaking, he picked up the personnel list that the clerk had recorded all day long, and said tsk tsk: "Li Jingyi, Tang Shao, Song Zhiwen, Cen Xi... tsk tsk, all of them are celebrities who are official or not. I don't know how many families have suffered from this king and wept!"

Some of the times listed on the list have already visited the mansion, while others have not yet arrived.Naturally, it is impossible to record all of them in detail just by watching from the street, but the Wangfuzhong has already passed on the time list of today's banquet.

And this list is held in the hands of Tian Shaoan, the general of the guard, it is undoubtedly a list of death.

Sorrows and joys in the world are not interlinked, although Tian Shaoan is still feeling emotional in his mouth, but in his heart he is already rejoicing that a matter that has been planned for a long time has finally come to an end.

Last year when driving eastward, the saint had a feast for his father in Shangyang Palace and celebrated his birthday, and he, the son, returned to Chang'an after drinking a few cups of birthday wine. Presumably, the father had scolded him a lot in his heart He is an unfilial son, after this matter is over, he must go home to comfort and plead guilty.

After night fell, the passage of time slowed down, bored, Tian Shaoan simply took out his saber, sat in front of the window, polished it and oiled it.

I don't know when the night fell, there was a sudden noise outside the gate of the workshop, a group of Jinwuwei street disciples knocked on the gate of the workshop, and went straight to the residence of the Linzi king, who was having a feast, and surrounded the residence in an instant It's leaking.

A sudden change occurred, and the guests and officials in the Wang residence suddenly turned pale with shock.The king of Linzi occasionally felt cold and unwell tonight. Although he invited Shiliu and held a banquet, he only showed up at the beginning. After that, his brother Anping Wang Li Longfan received the guests on his behalf, and he retreated to the inner house to rest.

At this time the Jinwu guards suddenly surrounded the mansion to disturb the mansion, King Anping in the hall was half perturbed, but angrily went out and asked, "What order do you give, you dare to disturb the king's mansion at night!"

The leader of the Jinwu Guard responded with crossed hands expressionlessly: "My lord, there are rioters in Fangqu in the west of the city who are making trouble by knocking on the square at night. The king who stayed behind in the capital is afraid of the chaos and the houses in the capital. The disciples of the Jinwu Guards came to guard the place. Some people came here on order, and they dare not offend the nobles, but please return to the hall to continue the banquet. If there is nothing wrong tomorrow morning, some people will withdraw themselves!"

Hearing the commander's answer, everyone present was full of surprise and suspicion, and King Anping felt a little guilty, and he didn't dare to make any more forceful reprimands, but said angrily: "There is chaos in Fangqu, it's because of the incompetence left behind. How dare you use this to harass the king's mansion! You must wait outside the wall, and don't trespass to offend the guests in my hall!"

After saying this, King Anping hurried back to the mansion.As for some of the guests who came, they became flustered and embarrassed, and naturally they were not in the mood to stay for the banquet, but seeing the serious attitude of the Jinwu Guard, they might not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

Not to mention the surprise of the crowd in the king's mansion, about half an hour after the Jin Wuwei street disciples entered and stationed in the square, another group of armored soldiers rode in from outside the square.At this time, Tian Shao'an, who had been watching from the window, also knocked on the window and gave an order: "It's time to do things, go early and go early, and you can go to bed late at dawn."

The one who entered the workshop again was the inner guard elite soldiers. Tian Shaoan and other people who stayed behind in the private house had already packed up and met at the gate of the workshop. All the Jinwu Guards issued an order: "The inner guards are doing things, and you and the Jinwu Guards are just watching!"

Wave after wave of people arrived, and even the dullest and most optimistic people already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, especially since the newly arrived inner guards were the saint's pro-army, so any dispatch must be of great significance.

Facing the terrified eyes of the people in the mansion, Tian Shao'an did not disappoint everyone's expectations and said: "At night, the thugs harassed the northern palace defenses and were all captured. The leader of the thieves confessed that he was ordered by the king of Linzi. Then attack the imperial city at night, intending to create a disaster. A certain internal guard is in the guard, please ask the king of Linzi to come out and ask questions!"

"Your Majesty is actually involved in rebellion..."

Hearing what Tian Shaoan said, all the people present exclaimed, either in disbelief, or worried about themselves, subconsciously unwilling to believe it.

Cui Shi, who had been among the guests, saw the two groups of people arriving one after another, and guessed in his heart that Fan's scheme should have been exposed, and his face was ashen for a while, but after hearing Tian Shao'an's words, his face suddenly changed. He made a big change, and then he raised his head and laughed.

After attracting everyone's attention, Cui Shi came out and said loudly: "The crime of treason is so serious! Your Majesty Luyi Hengxiang, how dare you make such a conspiracy... It's just that the king is away for a visit, so he is not in the mansion, and there may be someone there. Violate the order of confinement, but don't falsely claim treason! The general made a mistake in his judgment and didn't know the truth, so he dared to come to the door to insult..."

"Take this dog down! Whether the king is in the mansion, you can tell when you visit, there is no reason to hide it!"

Tian Shao'an just glanced at Cui Shi, then ordered him to be taken down, and then urged all the members of the palace to invite King Linzi.

The government officials rushed to the inner hall in a hurry, and when they opened the door, there was an exclamation. They saw that the king of Linzi, dressed in plain onyx and with a disheveled head, had already hung from the beam. The body swayed with the night wind.

After seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and frightened, especially those co-consultants in the mansion, such as Cui Shi, who saw the king of Linzi boarding the carriage to visit Princess Taiping, even convulsed on the spot as if they had seen a ghost.

"I, I report that the King of Linzi is indeed plotting to cause trouble... A few days ago, the wild rumors were spread in the wild, which was drawn up by Cui Shi and the others present..."

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, but under the great panic, it was difficult to cause any greater panic.

Tian Shaoan never gave these people any chance to make rumors and doubts, he just waved his hands and shouted: "The king's mansion is banned, and all personnel are not allowed to come out! King Anping also confessed to the masterminds, and they will be temporarily detained at selected places, and no collusion is allowed! "

"I have no plan, I really have no plan..."

Some guests shouted in alarm, but the only response to them was the rough pushing and shoving of the inner guards.

Back to more than an hour ago, after killing the palace amulet, Li Longji and his entourage did not continue to stay in this garden, but quickly changed the robes of the palace servants, and then walked out of the house.

They waited for a while in the secret place of the garden, but they did not wait for the appointed personnel to break into the palace to see them. Although the outer garden flickered slightly, it was extinguished soon.

Seeing the situation like this, Li Longji's mood sank to the bottom of the valley, but there was no way out for this trip. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Go to Liushou Mansion!"

Under the cover of night, several people walked towards the core area of ​​the imperial city along the shadow of the palace wall.And after they left here, inner guard Guo Da also flashed into the moonlight from another shadow, looked at the backs of Li Longji and others walking far away and sighed: "Li Xianggong will give whatever he asks, a saint can be regarded as a great benefactor. "

After sighing for a while, he turned around and walked into the other garden just now. At this time, there were already more than a dozen armored soldiers guarding inside and outside the other garden.Guo Da looked inward with his probe, and saw that the eldest princess was beating and scolding the weeping Princess Linzi in the inner hall. He sighed again in his heart, quietly withdrew and ordered: "Stick here, don't let idlers do anything else." enter."

At this time, the battle at the outer garden of the palace gate had also ended. In addition to beheading everyone on the spot, more than a dozen wounded people were tied up here.The leader was none other than Wang Shouyi. Seeing the generals of the old guard approaching, Wang Shouyi said angrily: "The plot will not succeed, but death is the only thing. This mouth is like iron, and there is no confession!"

But not everyone is so resigned to death, there are still some people crying and begging for mercy: "We are small people, we have no guts to violate the heavens, but we are just ordered by the king of Linzi..."

"The one who asks the dead to die, the one who asks the living to record a confession!"

Guo Da just said indifferently, and after a while, he drew his knife and slashed at Wang Shouyi who was still glaring at him: "A thief is a thief, how can I boast of such righteousness?"

The Beijing battalion retreated, and the inner guards took over the defense of the palace, but after all, there were not many members. In previous years, the inner guards Sansu only stayed in the area of ​​the imperial garden north of the Wei Zhongchao, so it was also located between the Baisi government offices on the south side of the imperial city. There are no more members.

This may be the case, but Li Longji and others felt that it was a bit strange that the journey went smoothly, not to mention the guards patrolling the armor, and even the ordinary palace servants were rarely seen.

"The ghosts of my parents protect me, and I will end this night if I don't deserve my life!"

Although there is suspicion in his heart, this is not the focus of Li Longji's current thinking. Seeing that the journey is getting closer to the residence of the Left Behind Mansion, the expectations in his heart are getting bigger and bigger.

Under the vast night, Li Longji didn't know that there was someone who followed him all the way, but even if he knew, his chance of survival was only on the way forward.

People in the workshop don't know what the imperial city's office is like at night. In fact, it is not much different from the folk workshop. It may be busy all night, but it is not the norm.In normal seasons, only work at sunrise and rest at sunset, if even the guards of the palace were all evacuated, it would not even be as lively and prosperous as the folk square.

Although Li Zhaode stayed in the mansion for a long time, he was old after all, and his affairs were not too busy, so his work and rest were very regular, he didn't eat after noon and slept at sunset.

In a light sleep, the official knocked on the door, Li Zhaode hurriedly got up, and after sitting down in the outer hall, he called him in and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, there is a servant of the eldest princess outside the yamen knocking on him, and he said he has something to report."

Hearing the official's report, Li Zhaode's expression darkened immediately, and he said in a cold voice: "The stay-at-home mansion has its own job, but it's not working for the emperor's family! It's beyond the rule that the eldest princess lives in the garden. But follow suit, how can you send servants to harass the Yasi at night again! Order to accompany the guards, first put them in custody, and then execute them tomorrow!"

But then the official replied: "All the officials have come to see you, and there is no guard to guide you..."

After Li Zhaode heard the words, his expression suddenly changed. He was not unfamiliar with the ups and downs of his official career, and he had participated in court assistants many times.Not to mention the servants of the princess, even the internal officials sent by the sage, without the guidance of the guards, will be arrested and killed immediately.

A few days ago, when Yao Yuanchong returned to Beijing, he not only confiscated the seal letters of the soldiers from the Beijing camp, but also took back the right to adjust the personnel affairs of the left-behind mansion.Previously, the Jingying was in the Sansu Guards, and they had to report to stay in the mansion. Now that the inner guards took over the palace defense, they would not inform him of staying behind. Right now, Li Zhaode is already in charge of guarding in vain, and has been emptied.

Sheng Jia will return to Beijing soon, so it is normal to make other personnel arrangements.But it is not normal for the guards of the imperial city to have such a big loophole.

Li Zhaode sat in the hall silent for a while, and then said again: "Put all the officers in the mansion, and tell the internal guards to send officers to collect them."

After hearing the words, the official nodded and said yes, but after a while, he hurried back, holding a note in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "These officials are flirting with each other, and the humble officials dare not execute them. Please look at them!"

Li Zhaode took the note on the case, and saw that it was written "The king of Linzi wants to plot a big treason, Li Gong doesn't ask, he wants to rape with his colleagues".

Looking at the handwriting on the note, Li Zhaode's expression fluctuated, and after a while he said: "This is a serious matter, please tell Guo Zhonglang immediately, and don't tell the rest! Let all the staff wait in another hall, I will go later. "

After the officials left, Li Zhaode stood up from the banquet, took out his official robe from the suitcase and put it on, took a selfie in the mirror, looked at the uncertain face under the lamplight, and suddenly sighed sadly: "The sky net is restored." , Sparse but not lost... When Di Mouhe died in the old year, did he feel like me?"

Putting on his robes, when Li Zhaode went out of his dormitory, he saw that there was already a house in the front yard of the corridor in the mansion. The hood covered most of his face.

Before he sat down, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know what crime it is to frame the clan? Dare to say that what you said is true?"

"Let me tell you that Li Xianggong should know the truth."

Li Longji slowly lifted the hood covering his face, looked at Li Zhaode and said in a calm tone.

Rao Li Zhaode already had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but when he saw that the person standing in front of him was the King of Linzi, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face, and after a while, he smiled wryly: "Since you say this, you should There is no doubt... Poor King Xiang, poor Zong Family, Li is also a poor person..."

There were still a few servants standing in the hall, Li Zhaode raised his hand to push them out, walked slowly into the hall and sat down, when he looked at Li Longji, there was both pity and resentment in his eyes, he just said in a deep voice: "I don't want to wait for the rest of the time." Many, please speak if your Majesty has something to say!"

Li Longji saw that Li Zhaode was only a little surprised after seeing him, but he soon returned to his normal mood. .In the old years of the demon world, the sage went to the palace and confessed that he asked me to live, and then good fortune came one after another. Xiao Wang is also traveling in a poor place. Although he knows that this trip will die, he also has one or two extravagant hopes. Can Li Xianggong live me as usual? "
