Before leaving, Qin Wenyuan sent someone to the palace to ask for Xiangcheng's opinion on whether to follow him. At the same time, he secretly ordered his guards and others to be prepared to kill Changsun Wuji's entire family, and to completely wipe out the "Zhao Guogong" mansion on the day he left Chang'an City.
of blow.
In "Tanchunfang", Princess Minmin learned the news and arranged the subordinates who stayed in Chang'an City to continue to inquire about various information, so that "Tanchunfang" could operate as usual after she left Chang'an City with Qin Wenyuan.
All important military and political information can be sent back to western Liaoning in a timely manner.
All the property of the Qin family in Chang'an City was handed over to the sect of Saint Qingxia of the Lishan Sect, and Qin Shijun was still in charge. He warned them that if the court wanted to confiscate it, they would do what the court wanted, and they must not be greedy for gains and losses and get into fights with the government. For the time being,
If you fail, you will be able to recover your principal with interest in the future.
As for Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yiai and others who have not been seen for a long time after returning to Chang'an City, Qin Wenyuan does not intend to let them go back to serve in western Liaoning. There is always a banquet in the world. Wouldn't it be better for friends to get together and be apart easily?
, why put friends in a dilemma? As for my uncle Xu Shiji, if he is willing to go to western Liaoning, he can be allowed to take charge of the military affairs in western Liaoning while he concentrates on developing the strategic layout of Liaodong and the entire Northeast.
After everything was sorted and thought out, Qin Wenyuan invited his uncle, sister, and brother-in-law. When his relatives gathered together, he called out the Lishan Sect disciples who lived in Qin Mansion and sat down in the lobby, preparing to tell the truth about his plan.
Before speaking, he ordered Qin Shijun to hand over to his sister and brother-in-law the property that Chai Shaowu should share in the Qin family's property. Qin Wenyuan slowly spoke while his sister and brother-in-law looked surprised.
"Sister, brother-in-law! I will transfer to western Liaoning after going to Kunlun Taoist Temple with my master in the near future. I am afraid I won't come back to Chang'an City for a long time. The Qin family's industrial boy has been transferred to Aunt Qing of the Lishan Sect.
I'm afraid my brother-in-law's appointment in western Liaoning has to be put aside for the time being, but I want to remind my brother-in-law that if something bad happens in the future, you and your sister can go to Licheng, Qizhou to settle down, and the Chai family can still be safe."
Based on his understanding of history in his previous life, Qin Wenyuan finished speaking to his brother-in-law and continued without waiting for his sister and brother-in-law to ask him the reason.
"Will your uncle be affected by what happened to your nephew? Why don't you go to western Liaoning with your nephew to lead the Xu family's army?"
Qin Shiji sighed at the sudden change in the situation. He originally thought that the marriage of his nephew and the princess would bring the foundation of the Xu family to a higher level, but he did not expect that there would be such a big change in such a short period of time. It is true that "the sky has unpredictable changes, and people have misfortune and fortune!"
"
"My nephew can leave Chang'an City with peace of mind. I hope the emperor will not blame my uncle. My nephew should remember that the Qin family is the official of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how much the emperor blames him, he must not do anything treasonous and unethical, so that he can take care of himself!"
After hearing what his uncle said, Qin Wenyuan knew Xu Shiji's intentions, and he was unwilling to say anything more to this uncle who was a foolish and loyal emperor.
As the saying goes: "Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and one should never force anything!"
After sending his uncle, sister, and brother-in-law away, Qin Wenyuan and Senior Sister Taohong returned to the hall to talk softly again.
"Xiaoyuan! Tell senior sister how you plan to deal with the Changsun family."
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and then said.
"My little brother wants to sneak into Changsun's mansion tonight and quietly arrest Changsun Chong and treat him like a human being. But I want to see how the emperor will deal with it when he knows about it. At the same time, he can also get information from Changsun Chong.
I asked here which aristocratic families were involved in what happened in Jinsheng Temple. When I left Chang'an, I naturally wanted to take revenge and complain!"
"Okay! The senior sister will accompany you to Changsun's residence at night."
The two had a good discussion in the hall, and Qin Wenyuan sent Chen Laosan and a dozen personal guards to Changsun's residence to observe the situation.
It was night, the third watch drum had just been beaten outside the palace of "Zhao Guogong" in the Imperial City of Chang'an, and a figure floated past the tall door wall like smoke. However, it was Xu Tian and Tao Hong, wearing black tight robes, using Qinggong to sneak into the mansion.
The two people in the mansion, like civet cats, took advantage of the cover of the rockery and trees in the mansion. They first captured the guards who were watching the night in the mansion and asked where Chang Sun Chong lived in the mansion. After learning the information that Chang Sun Chong lived in the east chamber, they killed the guards and threw them into the palace.
The flowers left no further trouble and quietly touched outside Changsun Chong's residence.
Qin Wenyuan opened his consciousness and looked around, and found that the secret guard occupied a favorable terrain, so that those who wanted to enter the room could not escape the surveillance of the secret guard. In this situation, the two people discussed that one person should lure the secret guard away, and the other person should enter the room to arrest him.
.
After the discussion was completed, Qin Wenyuan jumped up to the roof, which instantly caused the alarm bells in the mansion to ring loudly. The secret guards guarding the house followed the shadows on the house and started to round them up. Taohong saw a gap in the secret guards' vigilance and took advantage of the chaos in the mansion.
Suddenly, he entered the room and saw Chang Sun Chong lying on the bed, listening in horror to the noise outside. He then launched his thunderous force and knocked the boy unconscious when he was about to shout, and then carried the boy through the window.
He walked out of the mansion along the path that had been promising for a long time, and used the cover of the trees to get out of the mansion. Chen Laosan and other personal guards who responded from outside quickly took Changsun Chong away and disappeared into the darkness.
Qin Wenyuan disappeared and reappeared around Changsun Wuji's mansion. It was estimated that Taohong had almost succeeded, and then he launched the "Ghost Shadow Step" Qinggong and left the place quickly. The black shadows that many guards were chasing disappeared like smoke, leaving behind several traces.
People continued to search on the roof, and others returned to the house to check if anyone was injured.
Changsun Wuji was awakened from his sleep and shouted in the lobby of the mansion surrounded by several guards.
"Have you caught the thief?"
Just when the old ghost was furious, the chaotic footsteps outside the hall were mixed with loud screams.
"Master! The eldest son was kidnapped by thieves."
Hearing the screams of the guards, Changsun Wuji went out of the hall to check in the eldest son's room, but his son was nowhere to be seen. The quilt on the still warm bed was messy, and several maids serving the young master were kneeling in the room, trembling.
Qin Wenyuan met his senior sister outside the mansion of "Zhao Guogong" and learned that Changsun Chong had been handed over to the custody of Chen Laosan and other personal guards. The two quietly crossed the guard circle and returned to the mansion. After asking the senior sister to rest, the boy unexpectedly
As if nothing happened, just put on your clothes and go to the place of cultivation to meditate.
Let's talk about Changsun Wuji's mansion. Madam Dou, the wife of Changsun, learned that her eldest son had been kidnapped and was missing. She screamed and cried and sent all the guards in the mansion out to search for her son's whereabouts.
Changsun Wuji guessed that this matter must have something to do with Qin Wenyuan, so he immediately went to the "Qi Guogong" Mansion to inquire about Qin Wenyuan's news. After a while, he reported that there was no news from the Qin Mansion. The man secretly sighed that Qin Wenyuan acted brilliantly and left no clue.
I couldn't help but worry about my son's life and death.
Finally staying up until dawn in an anxious mood, the couple left the house and went to Taiji Palace and Da'an Palace respectively to meet the emperor and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. They just wanted the royal family to come forward and force Qin Wenyuan to hand over his son. However, this mentally retarded couple did not want to
Thinking about it, without even a shred of evidence, even the emperor can't do anything about Qin Wenyuan, let alone the Supreme Emperor. Now the brothers of the nobles around Li Yuan are still in Qin Wenyuan's hands and have not been released.
When Lord Changsun rushed to the Taiji Hall, the courtiers happened to be meeting the emperor. When the officials of various ministries and yamen saw Lord Changsun walking in a hurry, their faces were full of anxiety. They knew something big was going to happen, so they couldn't help but hurry up and enter the hall.
"Your Majesty, please save my son's life!"
Li Shimin entered the palace and heard Changsun Wuji crying before he even sat down. He was shocked and frowned and asked.
"Tell me what happened?"
"Quizi was sneaked into the house last night and was kidnapped quietly. He still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. We suspect that this matter must be related to Xu Tian. Please ask the emperor to issue an order to summon Xu Tian to express his condolences. Otherwise, Quanzi's life may not be saved!"
"Do you have any evidence to prove that Xu Tian did this?"
The words of the emperor and Changsun Wuji made all the ministers in the hall know what happened last night. Many ministers secretly thought that this boy's revenge came so quickly. He actually ignored the punishment the emperor had given him a few days ago and went on his own. This boy
How much self-confidence and strength must one have to do this? No wonder the people of Chang'an said, "I would rather offend the King of Hell than Xu Tian."
Changsun Wuji speculated about Qin Wenyuan's words of kidnapping, which made Xiao Yu, Li Daozong, Wei Ting, Zhang Gongjin, Wang Yuting and others feel fear in their hearts when they thought about this gangster's reckless revenge. If he was not in the palace today, the emperor would strictly prohibit such behavior.
, that kid’s next revenge will bring disaster to no one, no one dares to even think about it.
Xiao Yu came forward and said.
"Your Majesty! Changsun Chong was kidnapped. Lord Changsun's guess is not groundless. Thinking about Qin Wenyuan, his resentment that his family was robbed seems to have something to do with Lord Changsun. He also had a motive to retaliate against others. The imperial court did not
It is proven that if such evil deeds are allowed to spread unchecked, then all the ministers in the court will be in danger, so how can they handle the government affairs with care?"
"We agree with Master Xiao and ask the Emperor to issue an edict to severely punish these evil deeds!"
Li Daozong, Wei Ting, Zhang Gongjin, Wang Yuting and other ministers serving in the imperial court from aristocratic families all echoed, but Qin Shiji looked on with cold eyes. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Chai Shao and other civil and military ministers
They stood in the hall with solemn expressions. They did not dare to compliment the emperor's imperial skills in dealing with the recent events. Instead of saying unpleasant words in the hall at this time, it was better to watch quietly.
When the people in the court echo the same saying, "The beauty lies in words!" Fang is the best way to express his disapproval attitude.
How could Li Shimin not see the one-sided denunciation of Qin Wenyuan in the court? Considering that this boy was able to stir up so many well-established families that they could do nothing about him and seek imperial power, this boy could be regarded as someone who could stand on an equal footing with these old foxes.
Alas! It's a pity that this boy disdains the way of a monarch and his ministers. He would rather take things straight rather than ask for the truth. This is the biggest drawback of a minister.
After sighing softly, Li Shimin looked at Xiao Yu and others and spoke again.
"Xiao Yu and others said that I agree. Such evil acts of kidnapping should not happen again in Chang'an City. I will investigate the recent events with Jing Zhaoyin Detective and conclude the case of Qin Wenyuan's family files being robbed."
The old emperor suppressed the evidence submitted by Qin Wenyuan to accuse Changsun Wuji of causing "Jinsheng Temple" to rob Qin Wenyuan's family documents and asked "Jingzhao Yin" to interrogate this case. He just wanted Ma Zhou to be imprisoned.
The monk waited for the beheading to be executed, but he finally couldn't bear to deal with Changsun Wuji, the mastermind behind it, considering his great contribution in the "Xuanwumen" incident and the queen's reputation.
"Jingzhao Yin" Master Ma Zhou knew the emperor's intention when he received the order. Many ministers in the palace had different opinions on the emperor's plan to let the matter go without saying anything. They thought that although Qin Wenyuan acted ruthlessly, however,
That kid never caused trouble. The reason for everything was that this kid was not a powerful person in the court. Deep down, Mao Dun was from an established family and an emerging family. For the sake of the stability of the regime, the emperor favored the family that could influence the political situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Just when many ministers in the palace had their own ideas and were unwilling to come forward to express their opinions, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan entered the hall with the support of the eunuchs and his wife Dou, the eldest son Wuji.
Li Shimin stood up to see his old father, and all the courtiers, princes and other princes also paid homage. The old man Da Chichi sat on the golden throne next to the emperor and said with an angry look on his face.
"Qin Wenyuan acted boldly. First he resisted the edict, and now he committed the evil act of kidnapping relatives and nobles in the court. Such treasonous people, how could Erlang not let the imperial army capture the thieves and kill the nine tribes to purge the court? I miss your mother, Queen Dou,
The pulse is the precious stomach of the Tian family. Whenever you have been bullied by thieves and you can't do anything about it, today as a father, I want to see how you deal with this matter so that brother Yang Guiren and the boy from the eldest grandson family can escape from Xu Tian's hands."
After saying this, Li Yuan sat upright with his eyes closed and refused to leave. Today, this old man was also determined to cause trouble for Li Shimin in the court.
Li Shimin was extremely angry but had no choice but to take advantage of his father. Wei Zheng, the remonstrating minister, could not stand it any longer and couldn't help but stepped forward to salute and said loudly.
"The humble ministers think that the late emperor's actions are inappropriate. Since we are ministers, we must safeguard the emperor's dignity. Isn't that what the so-called emperor and ministers are like? If matters involving the royal family are based on status like the late emperor, wouldn't it be wrong?
If the court becomes a family affair, how can the people of the world return to their hearts? I hope the late emperor will think twice about what he has said."
"Wei Zheng, how dare you, an old man, to arrange for the Gu family? We know that the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the Gu family. Even if you abdicate, you will have to wait for your master. When will it be your turn to talk shamelessly in the palace?"
"This is wrong! Without rules, there is no rule. As the saying goes, if you are not in the position, you will not seek the government. Although the late emperor has a respected status, since he has abdicated, he can only make suggestions for the government and cannot influence the government. What happened in Chang'an City has been
There is a final conclusion, and we, as ministers, will act according to it. How can the words of humble ministers be called big words without shame?"
"Come here! Push this old man out of the Meridian Gate and behead him. It will make the whole family angry."
When the halberd-holding warriors in the palace heard the late emperor's words, they all looked at the emperor at a loss. Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart and stood up and shouted.
"Retreat!"
After saying that, he ignored his father and left. Li Yuan's old face turned red with embarrassment, he pointed his finger at Li Shimin and said angrily.
"The traitor... the traitor...!"
Many ministers in the palace were worried about Wei Zheng, but they secretly admired this minister who dared to remonstrate directly. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but think to herself.
"In terms of being an official, I am not as good as Wei Zheng!"
Du Ruhui had the idea of resigning. He thought that since his health was not as good as before, why not get out of this dangerous officialdom as soon as possible. The only way to protect himself was to retreat from the rapids.
