Qin Wenyuan's insistence on the conditions for releasing the captured people made Li Shimin very angry. If he wanted to handle the matter according to this boy's wishes, wouldn't it make me lose face in front of the world? At this time, I am afraid that I will have to ask the imperial sister Li Xiuning to speak on my behalf.
, advise this boy to understand the overall situation and minimize the big problem, and don't hold on to this matter and be aggressive.
Qin Qiong was sent to the military camp to deliver an order to call back the troops led by Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin to lift the siege of Xu Tian and his men. Li Shimin took a walk in the imperial garden while thinking about how to make Li Xiuning willing to accept the order and find Qin Wenyuan to act as a lobbyist.
The embarrassment was due to the fact that when Xu Tian was dismissed from his post, the eldest princess was very disappointed with the decision made in anger. In addition, the cancellation of the marriage to Qin Wenyuan made the imperial sister not enter the palace for a long time. Now it is inconvenient to talk about it when employing people.
Li Shimin was bored because he didn't know how to invite the eldest princess Li Xiuning to seek Qin Wenyuan's persuasion. When he saw Xiangcheng leaning on the railing alone and staring at the frozen lotus pond in a daze, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. Why not let the emperor come forward.
After Princess Xiangcheng returned to the palace and was severely punished, she was banned from all walks of life. She could only walk around the imperial garden except for the palace.
The endless longing and worry for Qin Wenyuan made Xiangcheng feel cold and warm in the cold wind. Looking at the scene of the lotus pond with no fish swimming due to the ice, he secretly sighed that he was like a fish that had disappeared under the ice.
Being able to live in this small lotus pond without knowing the joy of drifting along the big rivers, she wished she was born in an ordinary family and had the right to be happy. She longed to be Qin Wenyuan's woman, even if she wanted to wander around the world.
In a daze, unmoved by external objects, her father's call brought her mind, which had flown out of the palace walls full of sorrow, back to the real environment in front of her.
After respectfully paying homage to his father, Xiangcheng still stood silently in the wind. His face no longer had the light and charming smile of the past. It was replaced by expressionless indifference. The once moving eyes showed
It's all a godless dullness.
Looking at his daughter who has changed so much in a short period of time, Li Shimin has no sympathy at all. Born in the royal family and enjoying the respect of thousands of people, he has to bear the suffering beyond the world. When can the fate of the women in the palace be controlled by him?
In their hands, many times they had to make helpless choices against their own will and at the mercy of others for the benefit of the empire.
"Is the emperor still thinking about that boy? It's not because the emperor is cruel to break you up. This son of Qin Wenyuan is unruly and acts based on his likes and dislikes without considering the overall situation. It seems that such a reckless person is definitely not a good match for the emperor.
Just forget about him!"
After saying this, Li Shimin continued.
"My father wants your son to go to the princess's palace to see your aunt, so that he can persuade Xu Tian to release the captor. I promise that after this incident, I will never pursue Qin Wenyuan for resisting the imperial decree and killing the Tang army. Let that kid go back to Qi."
Go to the state!”
Changle accepted the order and resigned. After a little tidying up, he went with the imperial masters sent by his father to the eldest princess's residence to pay homage to the imperial aunt.
In the princess's palace, Li Xiuning saw Xiangcheng and sighed secretly. Why did this little girl come back after she had already left the palace? She smashed her own happiness to pieces. I am afraid that this child will have to live with missing her in the years to come.
In the midst of sadness!
After hearing Xiangcheng's words about his father's intention to persuade Qin Wenyuan, Li Xiuning spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"Chang Le! It was because my aunt was unwilling to go to persuade Qin Wenyuan. Your father suppressed that boy in every possible way. It was justifiable for the boy to cause trouble by relying on his power. However, this time it was the old thief Changsun, Xiao Yu and others who did too much.
However, he went beyond the bottom line and harmed his family. Even my aunt should take revenge in this way. How can we persuade Qin Wenyuan to release the captured people? The key to this matter lies in how your father handles the eldest grandson, Xiao Yu and others. We will wait.
It is better for women not to get involved in court affairs. You should go back to the palace to convey your aunt's wishes to the emperor and think about how you should live in the future."
The eldest princess Li Xiuning expressed her attitude towards this matter, and then called her daughter-in-law Qin Wanying to meet Xiangcheng with a long sigh. In the greenhouse, Qin Wanying stood close to Xiangcheng and said some words of comfort to her soon-to-be sister-in-law who was worried about her future.
A woman whose fate is uncertain has a soft heart filled with pity.
"Since the princess has reunited with Xiao Yuan, how can she not insist on her own wishes? Could it be that she has doubts or lack of confidence in Xiao Yuan? This is the princess's fault. It is the princess and Xiao Yuan who are flying high. With that boy's
No one can do anything to you."
The slightly complaining words made Xiangcheng's originally sad heart feel sad again. His haggard face was covered with pear blossoms and he sobbed softly. Li Xiuning's eyes prevented his daughter-in-law from saying anything more, and she stood up and hugged Xiangcheng's shoulders to express comfort.
After Xiangcheng calmed down, he whispered about the scene that day.
"Sister, I don't know. General Zheng Cheng and Li Xiaowan both said that Xiangcheng's insistence on going his own way might lead to the Qin family's treason and rebellion, causing the whole world to attack the Qin family. After Changle heard about it, how could he
For the sake of your own happiness and not caring about the safety of your husband's family, Xiangcheng is living in a whirlpool of longing. Qin Wenyuan must not rebel against the court for Xiangcheng and cause a huge disaster. If so, Xiangcheng will be worse off than dead!"
Li Xiuning and Qin Wanying finally understood Xiangcheng's intentions. For this seemingly weak woman who was willing to suffer for the sake of her beloved, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly complained about Cheng Yaojin's meddling and became wary of Li Daozong's daughter Li Xiaowan's schemes.
After a detailed discussion, Li Xiuning said this.
"You girl, you are stupid! Why don't you think that General Cheng is adhering to your father's wishes and naturally wants to persuade you to return to the palace, but Li Xiaowan has ulterior motives? In the future, you must be careful when dealing with this scheming woman.
You don't have to be too sad about being used by others. When your aunt and Wanying see Qin Wenyuan, they will convey your thoughts. That boy has deep feelings for you. If there is a slight improvement, your aunt will definitely help you renew your relationship. Don't do it again.
In the palace, my body is hurt by longing, and I am patiently waiting for the good news from my aunt."
After hearing what his aunt said, Xiangcheng finally understood many things, and at the same time, he felt a lot more at ease because of his aunt and sister Qin Wenyuan's care for him.
Returning to the palace, he reported the meaning of the eldest princess Li Xiuning's words to his father. Xiangcheng never mentioned anything about Qin Wenyuan again. He returned to his own palace and stayed behind closed doors. He indulged in music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long to pass the time. Li Xiaowan came several times but disappeared, which made this situation quite interesting.
A scheming woman will eventually experience the loss of her best friend.
After Xiangcheng reported that Li Xiuning was unwilling to persuade Qin Wenyuan and complained about his own administration, Li Shimin was very angry but could do nothing about the imperial sister. The imperial sister's status in the Tang Dynasty was not just that of a princess. She was stationed in Shanxi
The defenders of "Yanmen Pass" were the troops under the command of the eldest princess. They had accompanied the eldest princess in the wars of the Tang Dynasty, so the eldest princess' status in the army of the Tang Dynasty should not be underestimated.
Li Shimin didn't want to make the eldest princess dissatisfied again because of Qin Wenyuan's incident. If this coquettish princess resorted to tricks, it would be enough for him to drink a pot of bitter wine.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Shimin could not think of any way to make Qin Wenyuan calm down his anger and release his captors. Faced with Changsun Wuji, who went to the palace every day to beg the court to send troops to rescue his family, and who rallied to attack Xu Tian for his treachery, Xiao Xiao
Yu, Li Daozong, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin and the Wei family felt very headaches. When they were in a dilemma, memorials from various ministers of the imperial court to impeach Qin Wenyuan came like a snowflake. The contents were all about the crimes of the Xu family and begged the emperor to issue an order to arrest Qin Wenyuan.
The whole family was in Tianlao, so the three ministers of the imperial court tried the Qin family's crimes according to Tang law and eliminated the Qin family's influence in the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the memorials piling up on the desk to impeach Qin Wenyuan, Li Shimin laughed at the fact that all the ministers in the court and the central government were sitting and talking without feeling pain in their backs. If it was so easy for the Qin family to be accused and arrested, how come the land of Qizhou is still firmly in the hands of the Qin family...
…
The next morning after the imperial court withdrew the Qin family's personal guards and many family members in the mountains, Zhou Cang led 300 fully armed personal guards and several "Tianxuan Sect" masters to protect Chunxiang according to the master's instructions.
Many servants and servants who followed the Qin family set off on the road to Qizhou in the eyes of the master's personal guards who followed their master in the remaining mountains and solemnly raised their guns and saluted him.
Chunxiang felt tired from time to time and suspected that she was pregnant. She had no choice but to let go of her caring feelings for her uncle and promised to go back to Qizhou to recuperate her health. Despite all the advice and instructions, Chunxiang finally left reluctantly.
Before Chunxiang, Zhou Cang and others were sent away, several personal guards secretly went down the mountain to "Licheng" in Qizhou to deliver a message, asking the Xu family's army to meet the people who had withdrawn from Chang'an City in Jizhou.
After Zhou Cang led the crowd to leave, Qin Wenyuan led the dozens of guards who stayed behind and set fire to the entire camp. He escorted the captured people to pick up Princess Minmin and others who were temporarily staying in "Xucun", and everyone went to Lishan Mountain.
The "Tianxuan Sect" moved its residence, and after the reconnaissance and cavalry department reported it to the emperor, when Li Shimin came to check, Qin Wenyuan's shadow was still there.
On the second day after arriving at the residence of "Tianxuan Sect", Chen Laosan sent someone from Chang'an City to convey a message that the imperial court had not dealt with Changsun Wuji and others. Qin Wenyuan sneered, and then discussed with the princess and decided to kill Changsun Wuji.
Avoid all kinds of strategies.
In the main hall of the "Tianxuan Sect", Qin Wenyuan sat as the leader of the sect and assigned his bodyguards and several masters of the Xue Yantuo tribe to follow him to Chang'an City to kill the entire family of Changsun Wuji. At the same time, he ordered the "Tianxuan Sect" to
Several elders said that when they were not in the church, all matters in the church, big or small, would be decided through discussion among the elders.
It's night, and the city of Chang'an in the cold wind is as quiet as a hibernating beast. As the third watch beats, dozens of black shadows are hidden around the residence of "Zhao Guogong", holding hands that still emit cold light in the dark night.
The weapon climbed up the wall quietly, and in an instant the shadowy figure climbed up the wall and disappeared, all of them sneaking into the mansion without making a sound.
After killing the guards who were patrolling the mansion one by one, Qin Wenyuan issued an order to kill all the people under his command except those who had nothing to do with the mansion. He retreated according to the pre-agreed plan, and then led several masters to sneak into the place where Changsun Wuji lived.
After entering, dozens of personal guards went to other rooms to look for and kill the eldest grandson's family members.
Changsun Wuji felt frightened all day long today, but he didn't know why. No matter how hard he tried, he would not believe that Qin Wenyuan would do such a shocking thing as to kill the entire Changsun family. At night, he could not sleep because of his restless mind.
Thinking that something was wrong in his mind, this guy slept restlessly. He suddenly woke up from his dream and saw Qin Wenyuan sitting on the bedside with a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
When I woke up, I saw my enemy sitting by the bed and looking at me with an evil look on my face. This kind of thing would probably scare anyone. This man was a man who cherished his life. At this time, he was trembling all over his body and spoke incoherently and in panic.
"Qin, Qin Wenyuan... what are you going to... do?"
"What are you doing? Of course I'm going to take your life. Isn't it fun to just sit and watch you sleep?"
"Let me go...I promise not to...against you..."
Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan slapped the guy's brain with his weak palm, and a stream of hot air instantly aroused from his palm. The guy didn't even make a muffled cry before he died and died.
He died, and the concubine who was in the same bed was killed by the same method long before he killed him.
After killing the eldest grandson Wuji and his concubine, Qin Wenyuan came out of the window. The masters of Xue Yantuo tribe who killed the eldest grandson's wife and dozens of personal guards who killed the eldest grandson's family gathered together in the mansion. Hearing that they all completed the task easily and reported to the mansion.
Except for the servants who were controlled one by one and bound and gagged, all the others were left behind. Then they ordered the valuable calligraphy and paintings in Changsun's mansion and banknotes and other easy-to-carry property to be searched and evacuated under the cover of night.
A secret place in the city.
Shortly after dawn, a servant of "Zhao Guogong" finally broke free from his bonds, and immediately rescued the other living people who were also controlled. Seeing that the master's family had been wiped out, the person with evil intentions, together with more than ten people, confiscated the property in the house.
After that, they each escaped from the mansion. The servants loyal to the Changsun family were so frightened that they shouted and were busy calling people to report to the officials, attracting Wu Hou who was patrolling "Xingdaofang" and many passers-by in front of the mansion.
The news that Changsun Wuji's family was wiped out shocked the capital. Many yamen adults in Chang'an City, including the Forbidden Army, Qianniu Guards, Guards, Zongzheng Temple, Punishment Department, Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin, etc., went to the "Zhao Guogong" mansion to check, but they saw dozens of people.
He died an unexpected death, and the miserable scene was even more frightening than the scene when Wang Gui's mansion was massacred.
…
In the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace, all the ministers of the imperial court stood in silence, and the depressing atmosphere made people breathless.
Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon bed with a flushed face. On the day when he received the report that the Sun family was destroyed, the old emperor finally tasted the bitter consequences he had planted for suppressing Qin Wenyuan. He never expected that Qin Wenyuan would be so bold.
Hiss, for a mere incident of a concubine being kidnapped, this boy dared to bear the reputation of risking the world's disdain.
This guy really will do whatever it takes for his family!
Although there is no evidence that the destruction of the Changsun family was caused by Xu Tian, all the ministers in the dynasty knew it well. Who else would be so bold as to do such a cruel thing except Qin Wenyuan.
"Are you expecting any trace of Xu Tian now?"
Facing the emperor's questioning, Zhou Shaofan, the commander of the reconnaissance and cavalry department, and Ma Zhou, Yin of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, knelt down in front of the palace and said goodbye.
"Report to Your Majesty! Wei Chen led the spies from the Reconnaissance and Cavalry Department to investigate places related to Qin Wenyuan inside and outside Chang'an City. In addition to finding that the villagers of Qin Village are no different from the past, the Qin family's military camp in the surrounding mountains and fields has been completely destroyed.
After burning, the Qin Mansion's personal guards and others had already left Chang'an City. According to reports from informants, there were hundreds of cavalrymen in strange military uniforms guarding more than a dozen carriages heading towards Jizhou, seemingly wanting to enter Qizhou."
