Poor former prince Li Zhong, who lives far away in Qianzhou and has been afraid of someone plotting to kill him since he was a child. He often wears the clothes of a palace maid to hide from his imaginary assassins. He often has nightmares and lives without any happiness. At this time, he probably has no dreams.
Who would have thought that by being cautious in everything he does, he would also bring disaster from the sky, and that he would become Wu Zetian's burial object in order to eradicate dissidents.
Thinking about his short life, even though he was a prince, he lived a really miserable life.
In the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace, all the ministers gathered together and shouted long live the mountain.
Li Zhi sat on the throne, waving his hands to everyone, and some eunuchs shouted.
"My ministers and ministers have something to report, but if nothing happens, the court will be dismissed!"
Xu Jingzhong, one of the civil servants, handed Jinluan his hand and went down to report.
"I'm reporting to the Emperor that I have my original intention to tell you!"
"Tao comes!"
"I impeach the prime minister Shangguan Yi and the eunuch Wang Fusheng for colluding with the former prince Li Zhong to commit evil acts and conspiring to rebel against the imperial court."
Hearing what Xu Jingzong said, Li Zhi was shocked and glanced at the words that impeached him. At this time, Shangguan Yi looked a little confused. Many courtiers in the palace who heard this and whispered couldn't believe it.
own ears.
The eldest son was ordered by his sister to report to Emperor Li Zhong the news that his father was about to return to Chang'an City.
"Brother Le, our brothers have to watch over those fat men."
It was precisely because of Weng's son-in-law's conversation that Xiaguan Yi's daughter-in-law Zheng took her infant Xiaguan Wan'er into the palace as a maid and saved her life.
Seeing the big man coming to greet him, Princess Taiping said with a smile.
When Li Minzhong and Xu Xiaole heard this, they giggled "hehe" and suggested that the eight people's silver coins should be combined, and they instigated Xu Jingzong to go to "Yiqingtang", a newly opened gambling house in Chang'an City, to gamble money so that the silver coins in their hands could generate income.
Some sons came out.
What the eldest son wanted to do was exposed to his face, but he was a tough talker and his lies were just drafts.
Wang Fusheng took the opportunity to use a series of combined punches to attack the dissidents in the court, so that Gu Meng's imperial power ended and Wang Fusheng gradually took control of the government.
Seeing that the seven people were not silent, Li Zhong spoke again.
Cheng Dabao was ordered to inspect the two mansions of Xia Guanyi and Shan Sijing. Naturally, he summoned Wang Fangyi, Yuchi Dabai, Li Minzhong, Xu Xiaole, etc., and made these big men very happy, knowing the east, west, north, and south.
"Shang Guanyi, how did he find out about this matter? Tell me the truth."
Before several people were executed, the unwarranted rebellion had not completely started. Wang Fusheng took this opportunity to attack his dissidents, causing Guo Guangjing, then the young general of Youweiwei and the leader of the prince Youwei, to be demoted from the official position.
When I was appointed as the governor of Xizhou, I regretted that Guo Guangjing had a bad personal relationship with Xia Guanyi. He just said a few bad words about me in the court, and he was expelled from the capital.
"I am loyal to your Majesty. The empire's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon. It will not be made out of thin air. Recently, Shangguan Yi, the commander of the seven gate guards of Chang'an City, noticed a strange person coming and going in the capital. After verification, it was confirmed that he was a member of the Empress Prince Shangguan's family. He found out
It was found that those people frequently visited the residences of Xiaguan Yi and Shan Sijing, and the letters carried by those people were found to be not guilty of treason. Unfortunately, when the arrest was carried out, the thieves resisted arrest and committed suicide by taking poison. However, the letters seized were
Gu Mengyao wrote a letter to Shangguan when he went to Xiaguan Yi. There was little mention in the letter about how to bribe court officials and military generals to look for opportunities to launch an uprising in Qianzhou and seize the capital of the empire."
It turned out that Gu Meng was considering who to search the seven residences of Xia Guanyi and Shan Sijing. Regarding Xia Guanyi's death, Gu Meng still couldn't bear it. He wanted to keep the records of Xia Guanyi's family.
I sent people to check the two mansions before, and Xia Guanyi's family records will definitely be exiled to the remote military state. The journey will be difficult, and I am afraid that those family records will die on the way to their destination. Isn't it too desolate?
, Xu Jingzong was asked to handle this matter, and he was the worst candidate.
"Cheng Dabao, if this princess is here, he will sneak out of the palace to enjoy himself."
Naturally, the elders followed Gu Mengyao's orders and quickly found the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Palace. Together with the Imperial Army soldiers that Xu Jingzong had received from the emperor, they left the palace and headed down to the official residence. In this way, we know that Cheng Dabao
Whatever pattern he had in mind, he would definitely laugh and scold that guy for showing off.
Before Xiaguanyi was imprisoned, did he not expect that the evidence that framed me and Shangguan and others for treason would be proven, so that His Majesty Li Zhong had no intention of letting me live and let him leave the capital and become a free and undisciplined commoner?
People don't have any reasons.
As Xiaguan Wan'er grew up, Wang Fusheng took advantage of Xianguan Wan'er's beauty and intelligence, and took her around for brainwashing training and reused her, which eventually made the senior member of the Xianguan family become "little Tang".
A male official with the reputation of "Women Prime Minister".
Gu Meng had seen the jade plaque and the two letters, and with angry eyes Gu Mengyao stood on the golden steps, threw the two letters behind Shan Sijing and shouted softly.
"Presumptuous! My words are of course true. It depends on how his eldest son handles this matter."
Hearing the words of the elders, Cheng Dabao was extremely thoughtful. He thought that he was the leader of the younger generation of Xiao Tang. He also wanted to have a pattern, his ideals and ambitions! How could he let money blind his eyes?
.
How dare the eunuch in charge disobey Cheng Dabao's wishes? He was very obedient to the general who was so favored by the emperor and the emperor, saying that he would take care of him according to the general's instructions, so that the daughter-in-law of the official family who saw this scene, Zheng
Mrs. Shi was so grateful for Gu Mengyao's kindness that when she was dying, she told her son, Xiaguan Wan'er, to repay Cheng Dabao for his life-saving grace. This is what I said before.
Although Li Zhong didn't have any doubts about Xia Guanyi and Shan Sijing's conspiracy with Shangguan at this time, he still had some doubts in his heart. He wondered why Xiaguanyi and others did this, and thought that the emperor's son Shangguan had a character that seemed incapable of such actions.
However, in order to temporarily quell the calls for severe punishment of the seven people in the court, and in order to have people closely investigate the authenticity of the matter, they reluctantly ordered the seven people and their heirs to be imprisoned in the sky prison for supervision.
Cheng Dabao is also very interested in gambling. I hate the feeling of being a bully outside the casino.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shan Sijing cried out that he was wronged, but Xiaguan Yi has become a mature man, and he knows that even talking about it will be useful at this time, unless he finds out that he is being framed.
Only with the evidence can I escape this difficulty. How did I know that this was caused by offending Wang Fusheng? Is it really that difficult to get away with it?
When Cheng Dabao heard this, he accepted the emperor's words and said, "I am thinking about business."
"Xia Guanyi, he will wait and see what he has done. He has nothing to say."
"He will stop talking about money and go to summon the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Palace. After his brothers go to Mr. Cheng to get hundreds of soldiers from the imperial army, he will go out of the palace to seize the family property in the mansion of the senior official."
Hearing Gu Mengyao's complicated retorts, Li Zhong was so angry that he smiled, but he also felt nervous that the big man dared to talk to him like that. It seemed like he was talking to him like this, and he thought about it again and again.
Thinking, considering again and again, like a minister who is afraid of saying the wrong thing, makes people feel happy.
The political governor Liu Xiangdao was also a victim of that struggle, and was demoted and promoted to Secretary of State Li Taichang Bo.
"I'm afraid he is a big bastard who calls my prince "niu" on weekdays. He thinks that my prince is a special man and lets him talk nonsense. He really knows the rules and is still an eagle, flaunting himself fiercely.
It's shameful to be really thick-skinned. I think he's thinking of retreating and fooling around with Ping'er all day long. If so, I'll give him something to do. If he messes with me and he doesn't do it well, I'll give him an edict to let him lead alone.
Yijun, let’s see how capable this big bastard is.”
After inspecting the seven mansions, a few big bucks of the obtained silver naturally divided some of it secretly. Gu Mengyao and Yuchi Dabai were so happy that they waited until the money arrived to keep the money warm in their arms for a while.
The seven eldest sons were like high-rollers, marching to "Qunfangzhai" with official steps that signaled their downfall to pretend to be young masters again.
"What you say is true. Your Majesty's uncle is willing to deceive the eldest son."
"When his father arrived in the capital, I sent a decree to betroth Taiping to him. His eldest son treated Taiping as a bad boy, so he should not be able to live in confusion all day long and focus on business."
After Shangguan Yi heard the emperor's questioning, he came out of the ranks of military officials and walked away from the steps behind him.
"He will bring the man in the mansion back to Bad Sheng for custody. Don't make it difficult for you to wait. Otherwise, I will definitely break up with him."
"Zhen Nima is a pig with seven horns. She is romantic by nature, but she is also afraid of using her gun well."
There is all the physical evidence, and there is no testimony from the commander of the Qimen garrison in Chang'an. Li Zhong is suspicious of this matter. Even the officials who belong to the imperial party knew how to exonerate Xiaguan Yi and Shan Sijing, while the former party members
However, the courtiers gathered together with His Highness to demand severe punishment for those rebellious officials and traitors.
"I want to make him inspect the two mansions of Xia Guanyi and Shan Sijing. Please remember that if you make Xia Guanyi's family, he will have to be exiled to the military state of Li, and he will be sent to the Yeting Palace as a maidservant."
After Xianguan Yi stepped down, he and Gu Mengyao, who was stunned, bent down at the same time to pick up the letter that had fallen to the ground. After reading the content, the seven of them felt like thunderbolts from the blue. They wanted to identify the guilt, but found that the letter was written by their own handwriting.
The seven people knew they were being plotted but were hard-pressed to tell the difference. Suddenly they knew how to tell them.
Seeing the seven eldest sons like this, Cheng Dabao couldn't help but smile with disdain.
How did Gu Mengyao know what the Emperor was thinking? She just asked the Emperor to take care of things and patted her chest to ensure that the Emperor was satisfied.
"Hey! What's the eldest son doing out of the palace? He doesn't have his charming girl to accompany him. Even if he asks you to leave the palace, we will go. My brother recently got a few things, and he was about to give them to our girl. He wanted to
But she came by herself. We were thinking of the same thing, but we really didn’t understand each other..." After Qin Xiaole said this, he immediately took out two letters and a jade plaque without the Shangguan's seal from his robe sleeves and presented them to him.
Li Zhong's personal eunuch, Shan Sijing, felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this. He trembled and prepared to receive the letter and forward it to His Majesty. However, he saw Qin Xiaole bypassing me and placing the letter under the dragon's eucalyptus behind His Majesty. This behavior was obviously
It was worry that put the letter out of my hands.
Of course Li Zhong doubted that the elder would do what he wanted, so he smiled and said.
In the seventh year of Linde's reign (665) in the Tang Dynasty, just after the Yuan Dynasty, Xia Guanyi and his son Xia Guanting were executed. Shan Sijing was executed together and his family property was confiscated. Later, the prince Shangguan was given to die in Qianzhou, where he was demoted.
"How could the Emperor's uncle say that the eldest son is thinking about business, but he also said that this uncle's family is a very unruly princess. She has no ambitions for the eldest son. A young man with no ideals has wanted to serve in the army and lead a single army many times.
Fighting soldiers and horses are all the bad things done by this big girl to the empress, who is a good-looking man. Fang makes the big man busy in the palace all day long, which is worse than an eagle whose wings are restrained and a tiger who is locked out of its cage.
, then who can be blamed? If you want to blame, blame this girl Taiping."
Before the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Palace took away the family scrolls of Xiaguan Yi, Cheng Dabao ordered the sergeants to disperse the masters in the mansion, so that they could pack up their luggage and go to seek refuge with relatives and friends, and to embarrass those masters who only made a living in the palace.
Regarding the exchange of letters, although Xiaguan Yi and Gu Mengyao were shocked that they fell into Qin Xiaole's hands, they were also worried. They wanted to be honest and open-minded, and they were violating the laws of Xiaotang by communicating with their former masters.
However, I realized that the handwriting of the letter containing the greetings and inquiries had been copied by an unintentional person, and the contents had been completely tampered with into evidence of our plotting to cause rebellion.
During the bloody political struggle in the court, when several families were happy and others were sad, Gu Mengyao heard the news from her sister that her father Qin Wenyuan had successfully returned to Xiao Tang and would arrive in Chang'an City that day.
The eight people had made a good plan and were about to leave the palace when Princess Taiping suddenly appeared surrounded by several servants in palace attire. Seeing that they were about to leave immediately, Cheng Dabao ordered the seven people to wait for him in the palace.
Seeing that they were gone, they went to meet the princess.
After finishing speaking, he signaled Gu Mengyao to bring a piece of gold and hand it over to the eunuch in charge, in order to remind the eunuch and let him know the uncle's attitude towards this matter.
Speaking of gambling, Xu Xiaole was a bad gambler, so naturally he was not familiar with the casinos in Chang'an City. Before he spoke, he looked at Gu Mengyao expectantly.
That's the reason why Li Zhong asked Cheng Dabao to be responsible for inspecting the official's house. I knew that the big man was evil-minded and acted extremely ill-measured. He would always do the things I assigned him properly.
"Xu Jingzong, what you have reported has real evidence. If you dare to make things out of thin air in the court and spread rumors to cause trouble, don't blame me for accusing you of causing trouble and having a bad intention."
"I heard that the army reported that many people with suspicious behavior had retreated into the capital in recent days. I sent scouts from the army to inquire about their origins. However, they found the missing token of the crown prince and Shangguan under the suspicious people, so I ordered my subordinates to do something to alert the snake.
, closely monitored Shangguan's subordinates' intentions when they entered the capital, and found that those people frequently came in and out of Xiaguanyi and Shan Sijing's mansion, so they asked the sergeant to take advantage of the few people's preparations to search out two letters from their belongings, and then they checked and found out what they were.
Xiaguanyi and others conspired with the empress crown prince Shangguan to rebel. Seeing that the incident was minor, I ordered the sergeants to arrest several people before reporting it to Xu Xiaoren. It turned out that several people committed suicide by poisoning when they resisted arrest. I acted with force, and I hope the emperor will punish me.
.”
Li Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the report. He immediately thought about how much good mood he had accumulated during that time and said to Cheng Dabao with a smile.
When he arrived at the official residence, Cheng Dabao gathered the family records of Xia Guanyi in the mansion. Before everyone arrived, he said to the eunuch in charge of Yeting Palace.
Looking at Xu Jingzong in the blink of an eye, I saw that this guy had a natural expression, an expression that seemed to be true.
