Crown Tang emperor

After Li Zhaode heard this, he didn't answer directly. He just sighed and said: "Though the king's talents are not great, so that he hurt himself, Zhaode and others are accomplices. Inside, it can still make people feel compassionate and sympathetic. The thinning of the king's life is not due to others, and he still doesn't know why he offended him, who can save him under the sky?"

"I don't know the crime? I... Sin is just in this bloodline. When righteousness is overthrown and right and wrong are confused, what power does Longji have that can cause harm to the family and the world? Human beings can't tolerate it, and striving for a way out has become a sin that everyone despises." ? If the crime is judged based on this, Li Xianggong and other monsters can be called innocent if they praise their solitude? Could it be that the many hardships my father and son have experienced are not burdened by you people who are ambitious and incompetent?"

Facing Li Zhaode, Li Longji was full of resentment: "The entanglement of grievances and enemies is nothing more than the overturning of fame and fortune. You can all admit defeat and leave the stage. Where can my father and son retreat? The father and brother suffer first, and the remaining heirs follow. Today Serving my relatives and embodying virtue, only my brother swallowed tears, endured humiliation, and lived in panic... Even so, he still did not lose his ambition to serve the country, but how the world hurt me deeply, didn't Li Xianggong see it?

Today I dare to come to the hall to see you, one is extravagant hope, I hope that Li Xianggong will remember the old days and live me.The second is coercion, since I can get into it, even if Li Xianggong is greedy and unjust, the world will give you your innocence? "

"Since your majesty quoted the old story, I will also tell you two or three times. The old man tried his best to assist the emperor's heir, gaining first and then losing, causing the country to be in turmoil. It is true that he has lost to the world, ashamed of the former king, and even ashamed of the emperor. Empress Dowager, but she is not weaker than King Xiang. Knowing that she was wrongly chosen, but she insisted on it. She was stubborn back then, just like the king at this time. The king said that the righteous way has been overthrown now, but it is true. Zhaode is still alive today, but it is still inevitable. In contrast to this, isn’t this an antecedent and an afterthought?”

When Li Zhaode told the story, there were tears in the old eyes: "The king only said that the whole world will harm you, and his eyes are full of thorns, but have you checked yourself? The king is a piece of rope in the sky net? There are relatives and ties, and righteousness has size. Begging for love is not about liking or disliking within selfish desires. Although Zhaode still has his old love, it is just a reunion in hell, a smile..."

When Li Zhaode spoke up to this point, there was already the sound of Jia Ge clashing outside the yamen hall, accompanied by the inner guard Guo Da shouting: "Don't be alarmed, Li Xianggong, there will be no evil in the house tonight!"

"You, how dare you... Could it be, could it be that the old man is so stupid that he really doesn't know that what happened to me at that time was actually planned by a sage? Now that I'm here and I'm in the trap at every step, how can you live?"

Li Longji was startled when he heard the sound. Although he had foreseen it, he couldn't accept it after all, especially he didn't expect that Li Zhaode, who in his eyes was greedy for life and flattering the new king, would be so resolute that he didn't care about himself.He even thought that even if the trip failed, seeing Li Zhaode crying and begging in front of him would be a reward.

Li Zhaode looked at Li Longji who was approaching step by step, but sighed again: "I also really want to ask, the king still doesn't know where the criminal is? Even if he made a noise for marriage, and then the barbarians came to disturb him, what kind of favor does the saint do to let the king Self-excuse your doubts? Poor and humble young people, maybe you can blame your parents for being poor and wait to die in a shabby house, but you still complain about being born in a poor country, and all the experiences between life and death do not have the slightest comprehension subsidy?

Now that the great king has entered here, Zhaode has never regained his innocence.The king blamed me for not saving him, but he didn't know that even though I wanted to, I was powerless.From the beginning to the end, all I can do is endure life but not death.Meeting here is just to see that the king's crime is more certain..."

After saying this, he untied the knife in his waist and threw it away from the case, looked at Li Longji and said: "But this meeting is not all fruitless, at least I know that the king hates me deeply, even if I die, I will die together .Zhaode is ashamed of virtue, the name is not worthy of the name, and if he dies at the hands of the king, he can indeed get rid of the past and go to hell with a smile."

"I don't need your words, how can I forgive you!"

After Li Longji heard the words, he roared angrily, and was about to bend down to pick up the saber thrown by Li Zhaode, but an arrow flew in and knocked the saber into the air.Even if he wanted to pick it up again, he had no chance.

Guo Da and others stepped into the hall, and some members of the armor threw Li Longji and the others to the ground, while Guo Da stepped forward and said: "The last general's old guard has neglected his duty, and Mr. Li was frightened by tiredness. Please wait for your reprimand! "

After Li Zhaode heard the words, he just smiled and waved his hands: "The general is serious, I want to thank you..."

Having said this, he stood up and paid homage to Dongfang Yao, his voice choked up: "How lucky is Zhaode to enjoy this kindness... If the former imperial edict abolishes this stay, Zhang Mi will be in danger later, and his life will be ruined and his reputation will be ruined! I am ashamed of receiving it, but I dare not say goodbye..."

Although Guo Da had to teach the opportunity face to face, he was really not very proficient in these political lingo, he only glanced down at the Linzi king and the others, and then he clasped his fists at Li Zhaode and said, "Mr. In the end, the general will resign first, stay here, and report if something happens."

Although Li Zhaode still wanted to ask Guo Da how to deal with King Linzi, he just sighed when the words came to his lips.The inner guard came in time and left quickly, as if everything should be so.

Li Zhaode picked up the saber that was shot flying, held it in his hand, just sat in the hall, staring at the phantom reflection of the blade, some people are alive, but they are already dead...

After a night of hustle and bustle, when the sun rises, it is a new day.

When the street drums sounded, the fangs regained their vitality again, and the people in the fangs went straight to the water fetching place in Quli with their buckets in hand.

Although there are water pipes connected to each house in the square, there is a certain amount of money for drinking water directly in the house. Although the price is not high, there are still some people in the square who are not willing to waste it like this. There are public water intakes in the square. Just a short distance.Days always have to be carefully planned in order to last for a long time.

People in the water intake workshop gathered and waited, and it was inevitable that some people would gossip and ask: "I only heard people outside the workshop making noise last night, what happened?"

"I still have to sleep and go to work. I don't have time to ask questions. It's not a big deal. It's not about me, and the government hasn't announced it..."

Some yawning locals were not interested in this at all, and they didn't even bother to talk about it. They just scolded the water fetchers in front of them to move faster and rush to work after fetching water.

But at this moment, someone from outside the square rushed in and shouted loudly: "Last night, a big event happened in the city, do you know? It turns out that there are thieves plotting chaos, and the government has posted a notice..."

"Conspiracy? What kind of bandit is this that hates An Sheng and rushes into the city to seek death?"

Some people asked curiously after hearing the sound, but there were also those who were not interested and rushed to grab the water fetching position, and joked: "Listen to his nonsense, what kind of personnel is called conspiracy? I sleep soundly at night, and I will know when I open my eyes. There are a few thieves jumping around, can they still shake the world?"

Chapter 1052

Although the commotion in Beijing was short-lived, even though the government issued notices to the people, the people in the various districts were not very sensitive to it. Occasionally, some idlers gathered to discuss, but most of them still went about their business.

The public responded indifferently to this, and the government was relieved, but some people were full of dissatisfaction.

Next to a large truck belonging to the county government to collect garbage materials in Zhufang, there was a laborer wearing only a hemp shirt and half an arm. He was very dissatisfied with the insensitivity of the people in the workshop, pushing the garbage truck and couldn’t help jumping every time he reached the entrance of Fangqu Alley. Shouted: "There are really traitors plotting chaos, why don't you believe it? I captured two thieves alive, and there is a certificate of merit issued by the street shop!"

Someone on the side laughed when they heard the sound: "What kind of thief? You are a thief, otherwise how can you pay for your crime with hard labor!"

"I'm guilty of just stealing a donkey! But those rebels are fierce... If I hadn't waited for the brave battle in the workshop, you dogs can sleep peacefully? Can stealing a donkey not be a hero to protect the country?"

Hearing the laborer's plea, the surrounding crowd laughed even more. A group of rebels entered the city to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, but they were solved by a thief who stole a donkey.

Although there was a lot of chatter in the workshop, the atmosphere in the government departments was heavy. After all, the rebellion happened for real, from the Zongwang to the Jingying and Jinwuwei personnel, so they had to be taken seriously.

So in the early morning of the next day, all the left-behind personnel of Jing Sifan came to the Left-behind Mansion, led by the left-behind Li Zhaode to discuss the plan to settle the chaos.

It is said that there is chaos, but in fact there is no chaos at the moment. Even the most worried public opinion, the people don't need the government to comfort and comfort them at all. It's just that it is rumored that all the officials who stay behind are not as good as a donkey thief.A so-called rebellion that can be settled by a thief stealing a donkey is also worth suing and interrogating and disturbing people's safety!

Therefore, one of the main contents of the meeting was to find out where the donkey thief was sent to labor, and quickly take it back, so as not to let him talk about other feats in the public.

The other content is much more serious, and all the disciples involved will definitely need to conduct in-depth investigations.Aside from those idlers who are out in the field, the Jingying and Jinwuwei cannot be avoided.At present, the defense of Gyeonggi only depends on the two divisions, and the internal guards still need to be stationed in Da Nei. Naturally, the personnel of the two divisions should not be deeply turbulent.

Therefore, the most urgent thing right now is to call a foreign army into the capital to sit in the city first, and Tong Wang of Dianjun Qianling is the nearest armed force.Although Tongwang's troops belonged to the Beijing camp, they were taken away in advance, so it can be determined that they were not involved in rebellion.

Fortunately, Tong Wang has also led his troops back to the east, and he is already waiting for the crossing in Weibei, and he will enter Beijing in a short time. The biggest danger after the chaos will not be a problem.

When Tong Wang in Weibei received the order, he was eating breakfast in the camp and waiting for the ferry to supply the ferry.After reading the book order, he stopped eating, and then ordered: "Go and invite the King of the North Sea, and order to add food and wine to the camp, and bring them in together."

When the king of Beihai entered the tent, he saw that there was a lot of wine and food in the tent, so he was taken aback for a while, but Tong Wang greeted him at the table: "The camp is not like living in Beijing, and the meals are often simple. There is nothing beautiful to bring with you when you travel. Give it to my cousin as a gift."

The King of Beihai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then sighed after a while: "The national funeral is just around the corner, so even if I have an unbearable desire to speak, I don't dare to take advantage of it..."

"It's okay, it's just here, just you and me."

Hearing this, Tong Wang took the cup and drank it first, and then made an invitation, and then the King of Beihai sat down. He followed the army recently, and he was indeed a little hungry.

But when King Beihai was eating, Tong Wang stopped and stared at him with complicated eyes.

"Cousin, if you can teach me, you may as well speak out..."

Since the king of Beihai was looked at a little too afraid to sit still, he also stopped eating, and asked questions again, not without anxiety.

King Tong didn't say much, but just handed over the letter from the left-behind mansion informing King Linzi of treason. I don’t know, really, I only go in and out with my cousin, I don’t know Saburo at all..."

"Knowing or not knowing, it's not important anymore. Only the entanglement of grievances and enmities needs to be resolved..."

Tong Wang looked down at King Beihai and sighed, "My cousin went there first. If the dead soul still has a lot of resentment, just look for me. The karma will be repaid, and I will suffer it all my life... In the past, the bitterness and hatred were powerless, but now Make a statement, and you will not allow others to disturb you, and you are not afraid of the evil retribution that will ruin your fortune or your life."

Hearing Tong Wang's decisive tone, Bei Hai Wang knew that it was inevitable, so he let go of his arms and went back to the banquet to drink and eat, but after a while, he burst into tears: "How can I have the face to resent my cousin? If I have this responsibility, I have this treasure Siblings, you shouldn't have left Saburo in Beijing. When he was abused by his relatives and evil elders, how desperate and terrified he should be. Brothers stay together, at least not panic..."

After hearing the words, Tong Wang sighed, got up and went out of the tent under the guard of armored soldiers, looked back, and when he turned back again, his expression was determined: "Cross the river and return to Beijing!"

In the evening, Wang Junwu and Wang arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, first handed over the corpse of the king of Beihai to Yousi, and then went straight to the imperial city, and asked the left-behind mansion to determine the chaos, but did not express their opinion.But when he learned that Princess Taiping and the wife and children of King Linzi were still in the prison garden, he proposed to go to see him.

When Li Guangshun came to this leisure garden, Princess Taiping just sat in the hall, her stiff face could no longer make any expression, she looked at Tong Wang who was walking slowly with her blank eyes, and said dryly: "I don't know." , I don’t know the king of Linzi..."

"I've heard this statement twice today. The former was the King of the North Sea, and it was over after giving him a full meal..."

Li Guangshun was standing in the entrance hall and did not go in. After answering this way, seeing Princess Taiping's eyes showing fear, he said again: "But I will not kill my aunt. My wife and I are at odds. I think Saburo agrees with me. After he returns to the capital, if my aunt pleads with me, the fate of my life may still be uncertain..."

After saying this, Li Guang left behind Princess Taiping, whose face was mixed with hope and despair, and went straight to the other room. After a few short wailings, the Xianyuan here became completely silent again.

Because of the commotion in central Beijing, Shengjia returned to Gyeonggi a few days earlier than expected, and all the people left behind naturally went to Bashang to meet him. Said: "The sage entrusts the ministers to stay in the emperor's house, but the chaos is rampant. The ministers are dereliction of duty, and the ministers are guilty. Wait for the holy order!"

On the imperial chariot, the saint walked down slowly, looked around and greeted the crowd, and finally fell on the coffin of the empress dowager who was being escorted by the team. He sighed a long time, then turned around, helped everyone up one by one, and then said : "It is not peaceful for my monarch and ministers to receive employment. Every time they go through disasters, they will become better and stronger. God's will is Tang Xing, and if you violate this, you will die!"

The pines and cypresses face the sun, and the vines tend to the yin. Their physical properties are such that even if they are educated, they will not be able to grasp it!If the world is in turmoil and the masses abandon me, I will be ashamed of my virtue and lose my way, and I will be a burden to the common people!But now two or three jumping on the beam, it does not hinder the general situation, and seeing that Qing and others are not in chaos in the face of danger, and the people are happy and safe, what is the crime?

From now on, the only way to be prepared for danger in times of peace is to keep ringing the alarm bell, to educate and to use skills wisely.My willpower is not exhausted, have you lost your wish to prosper and govern? "

"The ministers know the shame and are brave, and they will help the prosperity of the government, and they will live up to the king and the common people!"

Hearing the echoes from the crowd in front of him, Li Tong clapped his palms and laughed, and raised his finger to the capital: "The way is at your feet, so why not be afraid of being far away, madly want to mend the sky, pick up the stones of Kuangwei, the imperial industry is great, encourage the world, and do it !"

After returning to Beijing, Li Tong didn't have time to express any emotion. He first reviewed the personnel arrangement after the chaos, and then began to deal with some personnel affairs that required him to make decisions. Before he knew it, he was already busy until late at night.

Although there are many affairs, they are all clear in context, and there is no need to expend too much mental effort to weigh them.Li Zhaode and other people staying behind have already finalized many preliminary matters, and all kinds of people involved in the case have been arrested and are waiting for interrogation.Even Linzi king and other brothers abolished the title and punished them, and the tomb of the old prime minister was moved away from the Qianling Mausoleum. All the proposals need to be approved by the sage.

During the period, the waiter Le Gao came in and out several times, but when he saw the sage busy at his desk, he quietly left again.

It was not until the review of the desk memorial was completed that Li Tong looked down at Lego who was waiting to shrink his head, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"The eldest princess vomited blood and cried, only asking the saint to see her..."

Seeing the sage asking, Lego could only bite the bullet and say.

After Li Tong heard this, he was silent for a moment, and after a while he stood up and said: "Then let's go see you."

Princess Taiping has been transferred to the Longevity Palace. When Li Tong came to the Longevity Palace, he saw the inner and outer members standing and guarded heavily.This series of arrangements is only for Princess Taiping, because the coffin of the Empress Dowager is suspended from the Taimiao, and will only be sent to Qianling after Buji.

Watching this battle, Li Tong felt more or less uncomfortable, but before he could open his mouth, Guo Da and Yang Sixuu entered the front like two generals humming to defend the saint.

"Although this situation has been settled quickly and violently, since the eldest princess is involved in it, she should not treat it harmlessly."

Guo Da lowered his head to avoid the saint's displeased eyes, and just said in a muffled voice.

Li Tong sighed again after hearing the words, and didn't say anything more, just bowed his head and walked into the Longevity Palace.When he entered the other hall where Princess Taiping was detained, he saw that Princess Taiping was just lying on the ground, her face was as pale as paper, there was still blood stains at the corner of her mouth, her brows were wrinkled again, and she was about to turn her head to scold the servants. Princess Taiping moved.

"It's the saint who came... the saint really came?"

Princess Taiping was already quite weak, and with the help of the newly added palace lantern, she recognized the sage standing on the side of the screen, her haggard face was slightly cheered up, and then she was about to get up.

Li Tong took a step forward, wanting to bend down to support him, but behind him Yang Sixu raised his hand and secretly pulled the corner of the saint's robe.Li Tong's body froze slightly, but he still walked over and reached out to help.

But Princess Taiping didn't follow the trend, she just turned over and knelt down at the saint's feet, and said dryly: "The matter has come to this point, any further words are sophistry... But I beg hard, just want to tell the saint personally, I , I really don't want to, and I dare not get involved in the chaos... It's just my own stupid tricks, being cheated by Longji and others..."

Li Tong is naturally aware of how deeply Princess Taiping has been involved in the chaos. Leaving aside the previous hookups and interactions, from the visit of the Linzi king and his wife to accompanying Princess Taiping into the palace, the itinerary is all within sight.

Hearing Princess Taiping's self-defense at this time, he just said in a deep voice: "The Zong family is disturbed by love again. Although it is tough to the outside world, it is not without sadness... There are still many troubles these days, and it is rare to be quiet here. Where, Aunt, you stay here, don’t need to harm yourself, wait for grandma to return to the mausoleum, I will return to Beijing to deal with related matters.”

"Sage, Saburo, do you believe me?"

When Princess Taiping heard the warm answer instead of the cold reprimand, her eyes suddenly became bright with hope, and she stretched out her trembling hand towards Li Tong until she touched her hands and felt the warmth in the palm of her hand, her face was already sunken. Tears welled up again in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice as if in a dream: "It's so good, so good... Saburo, my Saburo, doesn't he believe that his aunt has evil intentions for him? I, it's a pity that I am stupid. Bo, thinking about it, there are often..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly took a deep breath, raised her eyes and stared at Li Tongdao again: "Sanlang, don't blame me for disturbing, I, I just want to ask you, how will you deal with me? Not because of your grandmother, not because of me Bride, just because, just because it's me, just because I'm yours, yours... Saburo, can you sue me to make me feel at ease?"

"Hedong is rich in land and close to Gyeonggi. I think my aunt may have something to love there. It's a peaceful place to live..."

Facing Princess Taiping's earnest questioning, Li Tong briefly mentioned his plan in a low voice.

"No, no need... It is enough to have Saburo's words!"

After Princess Taiping heard this, all the uneasiness between her brows and eyes was relieved, and her spirits became brighter between her gazes, and she glanced at the bronze hourglass inscribed in the corner of the hall, before she exclaimed in surprise: "It's so late! Saburo, you are returning to the capital, and you are exhausted with cars and horses, and you are also entangled in many chores, and you still come to see me... I, aunt, I am very happy, this is enough, Saburo, let's go, don't stay here to watch my ugly appearance! "

Li Tong made a few gentle words of comfort. Seeing that Princess Taiping had calmed down a lot, she stood up and walked outside the hall and summoned the palace slaves to instruct her about the daily and service matters. Then she heard the voice from inside the hall There is a hoarse but cheerful singing voice: "Walk on one side, walk on the other side..."

After singing the speech twice, the tone of voice came to an abrupt end, Li Tong suddenly felt something bad, and walked into the side hall quickly, only to see Princess Taiping dressed up at the banquet, with a gold hairpin sticking out of her throat!

"I am a widow..."

Li Tong stared at this scene, muttering to himself, until he was pulled out by Guo Da and others, and the palace people rushed in.

When the palace people finished packing up Princess Taiping and went in to ask for instructions, he suddenly had a thought in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Don't bury her in the pass, send it to Luoyang... Go to Shangyang Palace to invite Aunt Zheng, let her, let her Lead to Beiman, she knows the burial place!"

After finishing these instructions, Li Tong strolled in the Qinghui Wanshou Palace, looked at the empty palace and the internal guards who were gradually evacuating, suddenly laughed, and turned to look up at the stars : "A good night is like this, how can you sleep alone! Go to Xuanyuan Temple quickly and get my secret treasure!"

In the city of Chang'an tonight, the radiance is shining, and the world is peaceful, but the inner palace is a bit lively.The empress, concubines and all the children were awakened and led to the front of the Penglai Hall. The children rubbed their sleepy eyes and yawned, while the wives and concubines stared curiously at the saint and the Taoists in front of the hall. Busy fiddling with utensils.

"Cheer up, cheer up! Later, you will see a scene that has never been seen in this world!"

After fiddling around and confirming that there is no problem, Li Tong returned to the hall with great interest, clapped his hands and shouted to signal his wives and children to come to his side, and laughed loudly pretending to be mysterious.

As a Xuanyuan Guan Taoist brought the fire folder close to the copper tube to seal the letter, he only heard the sound of the fire wire, and then there was a crisp sound, and a firework shot straight into the air.The wives and children in the hall all looked up in surprise, and Li Tong also looked up into the air with a smile on his face: "Fire trees and silver flowers...why don't they explode?"

The fireworks bounced into the air, flickered on and off, and then fell down abruptly. All the Xuanyuan Taoists and Taoists lowered their heads in embarrassment to avoid the saint's angry eyes, but the fire object rolled on the ground for a while before finally falling. There was a sudden crack, and it exploded, sparks were ejected, and the explosion was terrifying.

"Exploded, exploded..."

After seeing this, all the Taoist priests of Xuanyuan Temple clapped their hands and cheered with laughter, and then they all went to the front of the hall to bow down and said: "The imperial prestige is strong, and I dare not let off fireworks..."

"Continue to develop! No more fireworks and tricks, what I want is a weapon that can truly kill the enemy!"

Hearing these blunt flattery, Li Tong's face darkened again. He looked around and stared at his big and small eyes stupidly, and his face suddenly became serious: "Go back to bed, who's playing at night!"
