Tang Dynasty Never Night

When Li Xian heard that Xue Huaiyi lost Mingtang and Tiantang, he immediately spit out a mouthful of water, and he was dumbfounded.

Is this the ancient version of the fff regiment?Even if Xue Huaiyi went to burn the place where Wu Xuanhui lived, it would be better than burning this place. This is really courting death.

In fact, Xue Huaiyi is really not that powerful, even with his identity, he can’t run away from Mingtang. He set fire to heaven at the beginning, but the distance between Mingtang and heaven is too close, and the distance between the rammed earth foundations of the two halls is only 16 m, once a fire breaks out, it is easy to implicate each other.

So at first Xue Huaiyi just wanted to vent his personal anger and burn Tiantang, but Mingtang and Tiantang were burned together.At the beginning, the emperor used a lot of money from the national treasury in order to build a bright hall and heaven, and even took out part of it from his own treasury to subsidize it. Moreover, as a symbol of the divine right of the monarch, the various decorations inside were also of great value. As a result, Just like that, the fire burned.

Regarding Xue Huaiyi's fate, Li Xian and Zheng Qi felt that there was no need to speculate. The question now was to see whether the destruction of Mingtang and Heaven would have other impacts.

Sure enough, as Li Xian expected, Mingtang and Tiantang are made of wood, so once they are set on fire, they will burn very fast, and they cannot be rescued. It is said that the whole Luoyang could see it at that time, and the flames soared into the sky until the next morning. There is nothing left of ashes.

When Li Xian knew about it, he still felt it was a great pity. He heard that the explanation hall and the heaven were both magnificent, but he hadn't visited them yet. He didn't dare to go now, so he could only hope for the future, but now they were actually burned down.

"Don't worry, according to the character of the Emperor, it must be rebuilt."

"But that's not the first edition." The first edition is always the most precious, and the value of the second edition is not so high.

Just when Li Xian was still struggling to see the Mingtang and Heaven in the first edition, someone began to write a letter explaining that the burning of the hall was the will of God, because it was an unorthodox way for the heroine to reign, and she was not masculine enough to hold back Feng Shui of Mingtang.

The person who wrote the letter was Yu Wenjun. After reading it, Li Xian sighed: "Someone is going to be unlucky again."

Isn't that right? Ming Tang was burned down. Wu Zhao was hit hard. When he was depressed, you wrote a letter at this time to explain that the hall was burned down because you shouldn't be emperor. Isn't this courting death?

Li Xian admired this kind of person. After all, for the sake of justice in his heart, he still wanted to speak out despite knowing that he might die. Such a person is worthy of respect, but Li Xian felt that he could not do that.

Yu Wenjun was naturally exiled in the end. Li Xian found out that Wu Zhao's attack actually had a very big characteristic, that is, if he really hated someone, he would not kill him immediately, but exile him, and then send People go to force each other to death, yes, force to death, not let people kill.

This kind of method is quite scary, but thinking about Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Xian felt that Wu Zhao's methods were soft when he got older.

After the Mingtang was burned down, Wu Zhao was silent for a while, and Wu Xuanhui was by her side all the time. A month later, Wu Zhao decided to rebuild the Mingtang.

The backlash this time was bigger than last time. Last time, everyone just thought that Wu Zhao was not qualified enough to build Mingtang. Now they have the same idea—the Mingtang will be destroyed, which means that God is unwilling to grant you the monarchy!

Of course, these people were dealt with quickly, but what stopped Wu Zhao was not someone pointing at her nose and saying that you were not qualified enough, but...the treasury ran out of money!

Li Xian couldn't help sighing when he knew about it. The Tang Dynasty actually seemed to be booming these years, but because of the continuous fighting for years, it was not easy for the treasury to support it, but Li Xian didn't expect Mingtang and The building of heaven has cost so much.

Li Xian has stayed in the Ministry of Households before, and he knows that the habit of the Ministry of Households is that the storage in the treasury can last for at least two years. What is the concept of this two years?It is the kind of situation where natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and the whole country has no crops. The state treasury can barely maintain all kinds of food and money for two years.

This time does not sound very long, but Datang has a vast territory and a large number of people. It is actually a huge savings to last for two years.

However, the construction of Mingtang and Paradise wiped out all these savings, and Li Xian immediately felt a thump in his heart. A country with an empty treasury has no ability to resist. Whether it is a natural disaster or a foreign invasion, how can we protect our country without money or food?

Li Xian's reaction at the time after knowing this situation was to check his private treasury first, saying that the private treasury was actually just another treasury system that Li Xian memorized, although he had been careful not to touch Wu Zhao's Ni Lin, but as the saying goes, a woman has a needle in her heart, who knows when Wu Zhao felt that he was an eyesore and wanted to kill him?He always has the means to protect himself.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of food and gold and silver in these treasuries, so it seems that Li Xian is much richer than Wu Zhao.

"If Aniang finds out about this, I'm afraid I'm going to be killed." Li Xian sighed. As for the money, wouldn't it be exploited when you see a big dog?

Just when Wu Zhao was worrying about the emptiness of the national treasury, what Li Xian was most worried about and most afraid of happened——Lingnan Langqiong Zhao rebelled against Tang!

When Li Xian knew it, he gasped. His first thought was: What will the Emperor of God do this time?She also has a few generals there, but now the treasury is empty, can it still support the expenses of the army?

Li Xian was worried, Wu Zhao was worried, and everyone in the court was worried. There was only one person who was smiling, and that person was Li Fan.

Li Fan immediately went to find Li Huang and Li Xun after he knew about it, and when he saw them, Li Fan said: "God help me wait, this is a blessing!"

Both Li Huang and Li Xun's faces were ugly. Although they were both treated badly by Wu Zhao, they still had a lot of affection for Datang in their hearts. Even if the emperor changed, they might not be happy to see Datang rise up again. Disaster, take ten thousand steps back, even if someone calls you and you don't care, you can't gloat so much, right?

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Li Fan could not know what they were thinking, and couldn't help explaining: "Don't get me wrong, I think this is a good time to persuade the regent." "You mean... ..." Li Xun looked at him with some hesitation.

Li Fan nodded and said: "The burning of the Ming Hall has brought the Emperor's reputation to the bottom, and the auspiciousness she created before has become a joke. Now that the treasury is empty and unable to send troops, it is a good time for the Regent to come forward. If he can repel the rebellion of the Langqiong Zhao at this time, his reputation will definitely increase, and then we will work hard, so why not help the regent to restore?"

Li Xun couldn't help but asked: "Are you really helping the Regent restore the throne?"

Li Fan looked at him in surprise and asked, "Naturally."

Li Huang also had some doubts about Li Fan's motives. A few days ago, he had the face of wanting to become king on his own, but now he wanted to support the regent to seize the throne, so he felt strange.

Li Huang said calmly: "Although I said so, the treasury is now empty. Even if the regent steps in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything. It's better not to act rashly."

Li Fan smiled nonchalantly and said in a low voice: "I don't believe you don't know that the regent is rich as an enemy!"

Li Huang frowned: "Erlang, you can't say that easily."

Li Fan waved his hand and said, "Anyone with a heart can know about the same. Aren't you envious of the profits of those shops in the hands of the Regent? If I have this ability, hehe, I am also willing to be an idler with peace of mind."

Li Huang and Li Xun smiled slightly, but they didn't believe it in their hearts. If the two of them had to plot some disharmonious things in order to survive, then Li Fan was probably born rebellious.

Li Fan said in a low voice: "Even if the regent doesn't send troops at the beginning, he can still ask to send troops on the table. Even if the emperor refuses, this is a great opportunity to win back people's hearts!"

Li Huang and Li Xun didn't seem to want to persuade Li Xian to rebel, they hesitated for a while, although they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in this guy's bottle, they thought the proposal was good.

So the three of them formed a group and went to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and they were watching Zheng Qi teach a lesson alone in the palace, oh, it was Li Xianzheng who taught Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi's martial arts, smiling very happily.

I have to say that Zheng Qi is really strict for more than ten years, those two are still children and they are merciless.

Of course Li Xian was distressed, but when he protested to Zheng Qi that he was too strict, both Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi said in unison with stern faces: "Brother/Shang Shu is strict for our own good." Xian decided to watch the jokes of these two little white-eyed wolves every day.

As a result, before they finished watching, the disruptors came over there, and when Li Xian heard that they were coming, he immediately had a headache.In his opinion, the members of the Li clan are really embarrassing. As sons and grandsons of dragons and grandchildren, they can be so downcast, it has to be said that it makes sense.

So ambitious is simply a word tailor-made for these people. High-sightedness and low-handedness are not enough to describe them, but they are all unwilling to be honest. It's just that they are all relatives, so Li Xian can take care of them. Their current salaries are not enough. It was distributed by Li Xian out of his own pocket.

I have to say that fortunately Wu Zhao has already packed a batch, otherwise Li Xian would definitely not be able to support the expenses of so many people, and it would be useless for him to have money.

Li Xian ran to the small flower hall to meet his cousins ​​with some disinterest. When Li Xian saw them in the flower hall, he knew that these people must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Li Huang has always been the leader of these three people, and he is also older than Li Xian, so he came up and asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, how is your Highness?"

Li Xian rolled his eyes in his heart, Lord is the center of Chang'an City, someone is watching every move, you dare to say that you don't know if I'm doing well?

"It's okay, how are you guys doing these days?"

Li Huang sighed: "It's not very good. I heard that the Lingnan Langqiong Zhao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the destruction of the Mingtang a few days ago, I couldn't help worrying. I really can't sleep at night."

Li Xian's hand holding the cup trembled and he almost couldn't maintain his calm appearance. Fuck me, this gang of prodigal sons actually showed concern for the country and the people in front of him. Li Xian was disgusted by them.

You must know that these people are exactly the kind of people who revolted against the Tang Dynasty in the Thirteen Turkic States. In such a crisis situation, these people don’t listen to the outside world at all. Hua, she lived as romantically as possible, and now she still acts like she cares about state affairs.

Li Xian put down his cup and managed to maintain a calm appearance and said, "Lang Qiong ordered me to be nothing to worry about."

"But now the national treasury is empty, I heard that the Langqiong Zhao has contacted the other Five Zhaos in Lingnan, I'm afraid it has a lot of power." Li Fan couldn't help but say something.

Li Xian took a glance at them and asked somewhat in his heart, "Oh? Then what do you think about this matter?"

Li Xun and Li Huang looked at each other, then turned to look at Li Fan, meaning to let him talk, Li Fan didn't care, and said directly: "I'm afraid the emperor has no intentions about the Langqiong Zhao, why doesn't the regent recommend himself?"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, waved his hands and said, "There are countless generals in the court, so how can I recommend myself?"

The Emperor of God would only give him the military power if he was crazy. Anyway, if he had such a confidant outside, he would definitely not give the military power to others. That is fundamental. Why do you think Wu Zhao created martial arts?

But Li Fan said: "Your Highness's words are wrong. Now that the generals in the court are all withered, I am afraid that no one can resist the Six Zhao Zhao of Lingnan except Your Highness!"

Li Xian chuckled and said nothing, no one can resist except me, do you think too highly of me or too low of others?Did you know that Lou Shide is still alive?You know there's a killer in my backyard teaching my son right now?Blind you!

Li Xian waved his hands and said, "If you are here for this matter, then forget it. The Emperor is afraid that he has been overworked these days, and his patience will decline accordingly. Two days ago, he even bestowed the death of the prime minister Wei Xuantong and the internal historian Zhang Guangfu. Qiuguan Shangshu Zhang Chujin, Shanzhou governor Guo Zhengyi, Fengge servant Yuan Wanqing, Luoyang magistrate Wei Yuanzhong, Xiaguan servant Cui Xi."

Li Xian uttered a bunch of names, and at the same time looked deeply at the three people opposite him. He felt that he had hinted enough, so he didn't want to say anything else.

The three of Li Huang were extremely shocked after hearing this, and Li Xun was even more shocked and lost his voice: "Why is this?"

What else could it be?Isn't it because these people want to rebel?But strictly speaking, they were also implicated by Xu Jingye's younger brother Xu Jingzhen.

At the beginning when Xu Jingye was defeated, Xu Jingye’s younger brother Xu Jingzhen was exiled to Xiuzhou. As a result, Xu Jingzhen took the opportunity to run out and went north to join the Turks—he had no one else to go to. The beating was hard enough, and only the Turks were still lingering.

In the end, I don’t know if this kid is audacious. He actually dared to go to Luoyang. When he passed Luoyang, Sima Gong Siye of Luozhou and Zhang Siming, the commander of Luoyang, gave him money to help him go north. It's because he is old with the Xu family, and he is a little bit dissatisfied with the emperor's proclaiming himself emperor, and wants to contact the Turks to drive the emperor down from the throne.

In the end, Xu Jingzhen's good luck probably ran out, and he was caught when he ran to Dingzhou. Xu Jingzhen was not a tough guy, and he directly confessed all the people who helped him, not to mention Gong Siye and Zhang Siming. famous.

Gong Siye had a better moral character, he committed suicide after being arrested and imprisoned in the big prison, while Xu Jingzhen and Zhang Siming's moral character has been broken to pieces—they started to frame people they knew in court in order to survive There are different pictures.

So for the confession of the two of them, Xu Jingzhen and Zhang Siye barely survived, and then many people in the court were unlucky. The bunch of names reported by Li Xian were bitten out by Xu Jingzhen and Zhang Siming, and Those involved are not only those who participated in Xu Jingye's rebellion, but also those who follow Yue Wang Li Zhen, oh, the former Yue Wang Li Zhen and his group.

In addition to those who really participated in the rebellion secretly, there are also some who are Xu Jingzhen and Zhang Siming's deadly enemies. How many officials in the court have no political enemies?Political opponents like Zheng Qi are either inferior to him in IQ or inferior in experience.

So a large part of them were wronged, but who made these two people so good at lying?The confessions are basically nine truths and one falsehood. They have pulled out so many people that they can't even pass the interrogation. After interrogating some relevant personnel, they found that most of them are true, so let's report it.

So there was another bloody storm in Luoyang. Li Xian couldn't help shaking when he saw the names of these people and thought of the heads falling one by one. He felt that it was his fate that Wu Zhao didn't kill him now.

Naturally, some people talked about the Regent, but Li Xian was too low-key to say that he formed a clique for personal gain, and more than half of the people in the court didn't believe it!

There were also those who were talking about Zheng Qi, Li Xian was furious when he found out, and directly warned those people: Be careful what you say, do you know what it means to strike five thunders?

So... no one dares to say anything about Zheng Qi anymore. The last time Fang Sheng caused the god thunder because of lying, it is still circulating in Luoyang. Of course, everyone thinks that it may not be God who can't stand it anymore, but the regent king showing his power up.

Li Xian's series of names successfully calmed down Li Huang and Li Xun. The two of them didn't dare to say anything at the time. After so many things, they were fully aware of Wu Zhao's methods, so they definitely didn't dare to provoke.

It's just that there are always one or two big-hearted people who are not afraid of death, and Li Fan is one of them. However, Li Fan has not been hit before. Their family has been hit hard enough because of his brother Li Mao. Rebellion is so important. No one dared to approach their family for their affairs, and their family was useless, so Li Fan looked down on the courage of Li Huang and Li Xun.

He continued to persuade: "Because of this, the regent should stand up and rectify the court!" Stupid!Li Xian was about to yell and curse, his face turned cold and he said directly: "I have my own measure, if you are here today just for this matter, then please go back."

After hearing this, Li Huang and Li Xun dragged Li Fan away in a hurry, for fear that Li Fan would say something outrageous and implicate the two of them.

After leaving the door, Li Fan looked at Li Huang and Li Xun and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that you gave up like this?"

Li Huang also turned cold: "The regent's intentions are already obvious, and I will naturally follow His Highness's orders." After speaking, he dragged Li Xun away.

Li Fan also looked at their backs with a gloomy face and snorted coldly: "Shuzi is not enough and tricky!"

However, Li Fan really didn't want to cooperate with Li Huang and Li Xun. Before that, he just wanted these two people to go with him to persuade Li Xian, and then pave the way for the future.

After Li Fan went back, he began to find people to spread in Chang'an that the regent was drunk and Mencius refused to go out regardless of the life and death of the people. Many, some people actually started to question Li Xian.

There were even some scholars who proposed that the Prince Regent went out to save the people in Lingnan. Considering his and Zheng Jin's abilities, they may not be able to see some things that are hidden deeply for a while.

So those ugly words came to Li Chongyi's ears, and Li Chongyi was so angry that he turned around and went to complain to Li Xian with a puckered face.

Li Xian's mood didn't change much after hearing it, and he still looked lazy, but he said something that had nothing to do with Li Chongyi's complaint: "Don't go back to your palace these two days, stay here for two days. God, Ah Jin too."

After hearing this, Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi felt that something was wrong. Li Xian's attitude seemed to know something, but the two of them wanted to ask Li Xian but refused to tell them. Zheng Jin turned to ask My brother found out that although Zheng Qi didn't play tricks like Li Xian, he asked them a question: "It is true that something is going to happen, but what will happen, you two go and guess, if the guess is right, there is something wrong." reward you."

How could Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi not know what was about to happen?But they just came to ask because they didn't expect it, and they didn't tell them.

The two little guys thought about it for a long time, but they didn't expect it, and they got the answer before they asked again.

At midnight on September [-]th, Li Fan led some clans to surround the Prince Regent's Palace with soldiers, intending to emulate Duke Huan of Qi by coercing the emperor to order the princes, and played the banner of supporting the orthodox!

That night, Li Xian and Zheng Qi were halfway through a chess game. Hearing the news, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Take the emperor to command the princes? Should I thank him for treating me as the emperor?"
