Chapter 369 Exception
On the third day after the assassination of Xianren Palace, a memorial was sent to the imperial case of Emperor Li Yuan in a hurry.
When Li Yuan saw the memorial saying that the Princess Protected the Country was assassinated by thieves on the night of entering Luo. Unfortunately, he found out in time and was safe and sound. He was so happy for his daughter that he couldn't help but feel angry.
Although Li Yuan had put Li Shimin under house arrest, he knew very well that this was just a temporary solution to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The Shandong powerful group that rose in the late Sui Dynasty by armed rebellion was the real culprit that caused his three legitimate sons to slaughter each other.
These so-called "Shandong heroes" not only have close relationships with each other and can share political interests with each other, but also have a very deep social foundation in the Central Plains area.
Therefore, whether it was the fallen Li Mi and Wang Shichong or the later Li Shimin, their power was always the backbone.
In fact, in addition to his outstanding military talent, Li Shimin was able to successfully defeat Wang Shichong, another important reason for his success in military talent was that Wang Shichong lost the support of most Shandong heroes.
It is precisely because Li Yuan saw this that he strongly supported Li Shimin to take the opportunity to surrender and accelerate the collapse of the enemy's forces.
However, after Li Shimin pacified Luoyang, he won the favor of the Shandong Group. His rapidly expanding ambitions and power were enough to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Yuan realized this potential huge hidden danger, it was too late. Even now, he was still quite afraid of these armed tyrants, fearing that he would repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui.
However, if he couldn't breathe a sigh of anger, he would be in vain.
Soon, Yu Shinan, who impeached the Princess of the Protective Country, was the first to be imprisoned for suspected collusion with rebels.
Subsequently, Li Yuan considered that the purpose of the Eastern Tour of the Princess Huguo was to comfort the local people and had no other privileges, so he appointed Li Liyan, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Hu Yanjin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Wang Junru, the Chief Censor of the Censor, to go to Luoyang to investigate and hear the case, and gave them the right to sentence and execute the sentence.
Just when the three-person group left Chang'an, Li Yao ignored the dissuasion of the chief doctor Rong Jiusi and the supervisor of the censor Zhang Xuansu and other accompanying officials, and continued to provide relief according to the original schedule. Two red-robed officials were added to her team, including Sima Fang Xuanling and Wen Daya, the Grand Governor's Office of Luozhou.
As local military and political officials who truly hold real power, Fang and Wen and Sima left Luoyang at the same time, which means that the affairs of the Grand Governor's Office in Luoyang are temporarily presided over by Chief Shi Yuwen and Dou Shilun, the military officer of the Records. Anyone with a little political sense can see that this is the result of the two forces of the Guardian Princess and Luoyang reaching a common agreement to quell the social storm caused by the attempted as soon as possible.
The wheel rolled forward, Yu Xuanwei held her chin with one hand, leaned against the car window, silently looking at the passing scenery outside the car. Her curved willow eyebrows slightly frowned, letting the cold wind sway, as if some worries were lingering in her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.
After a long time, Li Yao's faint voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Xuanwei, the wind is too cold, the heat in the car is almost dispersed, and Xuanmiao is still resting behind."
Yu Xuanwei hurriedly put down the window curtain, gently put his head on Li Yao's shoulder, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Master, I can't figure out some things."
Although Li Yao and Yu Xuanwei have not reached the level of saying everything, they have developed deep feelings for each other through more than three years of living together. Without outsiders, the master and apprentice will become very casual. Without those false rituals, the two are like a pair of sisters.
"oh?"
Li Yao was surprised and opened his eyes, looked at Yu Xuanwei with a smile and said, "But I need a teacher to help you solve your doubts?"
Yu Xuanwei sighed and said, "To be honest, Xuanwei always felt that his master was the smartest woman in the world, but sometimes... he would always make some strange actions when facing certain people and certain things."
Li Yao pretended to be puzzled and said, "How strange is it to be a teacher?"
Yu Xuanwei said seriously: "If Xuanwei says it, don't be angry, Master."
Li Yao raised his hand and stroked Yu Xuanwei's hair, pretending to be casual and said: "I am very open-minded, tell me quickly."
Yu Xuanwei narrowed his eyes like a cat and said slowly: "When the Master encountered difficulties in Wugong County, he helped him more than once. At least in Xuanwei's view, the relationship between Master and him was obviously better than that of the late Prince and Qi. Moreover, Xuanwei could see that although the Prince of Wugong County has always been inferior to that of the Prince in the court, and his temperament is not as calm as the Prince, he knows people and is good at observing people, and he is brave and persevering, does not care about small matters, and has the tendency to achieve great things. He will not be as worried as the prince. According to the palace change in the middle of the year, if Master helps Wugong County, he is afraid... He is now the lord of the Eastern Palace. Just wait for him to inherit the throne in the future, and his master will naturally obtain the merit of following the dragon, and he will not be as difficult and dangerous as the prince!"
After saying that, Yu Xuanwei let out a long breath, obviously these words had been in her heart for a long time.
Li Yao's movements froze. She suddenly realized that Yu Qiaoqiao, who was a little chattering and clever at the time, had not just grown into a 28-year-old girl, but her mental maturity seemed to be far beyond her expectations.
Yu Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Yao, quietly observing the changes in his master's eyes. However, Li Yao suddenly looked away and called behind him: "Xuanmiao, hiding behind and eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Zhang Xuanmiao came out of the back room, sat respectfully in front of Li Yao, bowed and kowtowed, "The disciple only wants to relieve the doubts in his heart. If there is any disrespect, I would like to punish him by the master."
A look of sensation immediately appeared on Li Yao's face.
Obviously, there must have been many similar topics between her two disciples, so Yu Xuanwei analyzed the situation before and after the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" so well.
Compared to Yu Qiaoqiao, Zhang Tan, who was born in a wealthy family in Shazhou, knows more tolerant and has a shrewd personality, which is quite similar to his father Zhang Hu. Perhaps most of the words Yu Xuanwei said just now come from Zhang Xuanmiao's views.
Li Yao pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't blame you for being a teacher, after all, you don't know the details at that time."
Yu Xuanwei raised his head and said, "Yes! Xuanwei has always wanted to know what his master has experienced before he suddenly had a conflict with the Prince of Wugong?"
Li Yao blinked his long eyelashes twice, and a complex light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "That day, he sent his subordinates to ambush me, and he succeeded for a while."
Li Yao really doesn't want to recall his experience in "Xuanwu Gate**", and has never talked to anyone before. Now the plot she has told has made an exception for the first time.
Yu Xuanwei and Zhang Xuanmiao couldn't help but be shocked. After hearing this short sentence, they felt that many thrilling scenes immediately appeared in front of them. How could the conflict between the master and the Wugong prince be described by the word "death and detachment"?
After a while of silence in the car, Zhang Xuanmiao retracted his mind and couldn't help but say, "Actually, Sister Lan once mentioned to us that something was wrong with the person who conveyed the sage at that time, and the master could not resist the order."
Li Yao sighed, and a faint sadness and melancholy appeared in his eyes: "But there is a voice in my heart that doesn't allow me to do that." bdshare();
