Chapter 820: The Prosperity of the Tang Dynasty (72)
The glory of Tang Dynasty(72)
Black clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and in an instant, the rain fell, crackling on the ground. The wind, wrapped in moisture, blew in through the bright windows, and the books on the desk were flipped by the wind.
Empress Wu turned her face to look at the page, and what caught her eye was this sentence: Don't forget the good for one evil, and don't cover up the merit for small flaws!
She stared at this sentence for a long time without moving.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the kneeling princess, then looked at Aunt Ruixiang standing at the door of the hall.
Ruixiang shook his head and refused to tell her to move. She did not move, but saw Aunt Ruixiang turn around to talk to Eunuch Gao Yanfu.
Ruixiang discussed with the other party in a low voice, "This is not possible. How can the princess keep kneeling like this? How long has the princess given birth to? What if she really kneels down and gets stiff?" The palace has killed people. After all,
The one who maintains it is the Queen!
Gao Yanfu pointed outward, and Ruixiang understood that he was asking him to go out and deliver a message. But to whom? To the saint?
Well! Send it away! Calling the prince to do this will only make things worse.
When the letter was delivered, the prince was with the saint. No matter how quiet Liu De made the report, Li Xian heard it.
Is this okay?! Li Xian stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go take a look."
Stop! Li Zhi asked Liu De to go down, "Tell someone to watch and wait."
What are you waiting for? You know how tough your mother's temper is.
Li Zhi waved his hand, "No matter who goes, you or me!" If this is true, not only will their mother and daughter not be able to reconcile, I'm afraid there will be no room for reconciliation between your mother and us! She feels betrayed now.
, once we go, your mother will only think that none of you siblings can be trusted. So, you can't go! Let's see how Tong'er handles it first. If it doesn't work, I'll go! Don't show your face or say anything about this matter.
When the matter is over, you mother and son will meet again!
Li Xian's chest was holding tight, "How could the emperor's sister ever betray you? It's normal for a family to have differences. What's the point of betrayal?"
Li Zhi was silent, then smiled bitterly, "I don't blame your mother for this! I really thought about destroying her. From then on, it will be difficult for her to trust anyone. I don't blame her for this!"
Li Xian's chest hurt even more. He didn't know who to blame for the current situation! He only hoped that the imperial sister could handle it well and get rid of the current article first! Just get it out of the way, and then we'll talk about it again.
Think about what to do next.
Fraud is absolutely not an option! No matter who is involved, it cannot be condoned.
What happened today was that the imperial sister maintained the order of the court and protected the queen mother, but she was the only one who was really in trouble!
It doesn't matter whether it's a dilemma or not. That's not what Lin Yutong is thinking about now. She looked in the direction of the inner room and saw that there was no movement inside, so she frowned slightly. It's not good to be so frozen! She looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was guarding the side.
, "Bring me a blank brochure."
Yes! Shangguan Wan'er not only brought the folds, but also brought pens and ink and other items. She also knelt beside her, holding these with her own hands. She then waved to the inner prisoner, asked him to kneel down too, and then spread the folds flatly in the inner room.
On the back of the prisoner, please use the prisoner's back as a desk table and write.
This is a plea letter, just a few sentences, without mentioning any reasons, just talking about the incident itself. She killed someone in public without trial, and asked the court to punish her according to the law. No matter what kind of guilt, she was willing to bear it.
After I finished writing, I took out the small seal I had with me and put it on it. Then I picked it up and read it a few times and blew it dry.
At this time, the kneeling inner prisoner had already stood up and stood aside, and Shangguan Wan'er had also put down the things in his hands and came back. Lin Yutong handed the fold to Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Send it to the Criminal Department."
Shangguan Wan'er accepted it respectfully, and after going out, she looked at Gao Yanfu who was standing outside.
Gao Yanfu, who was standing in the verandah, heard clearly what was going on inside. As soon as he saw the fold, he quickly took it, and then took it with both hands. He asked the little eunuch to get oil paper and wrap it up layer by layer.
He stuffed it into his arms and kept it close to his body. Without any delay, he took the two little eunuchs and stepped into the rain. They had to deliver it in person.
Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, went in again, saluted the princess, and then went to the inner room.
Empress Wu stared at the book case, not knowing what she was talking about. She had no choice but to go over boldly and report in a low voice: "The princess has written a confession, and Eunuch Gao has already submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment on behalf of the princess."
Empress Wu then turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "What did you say?"
The princess wrote a confession and sent it to the Ministry of Punishment.
Empress Wu closed her eyes, but her body still swayed when she stood up. Shangguan Wan'er held her back and said, "Queen of Heaven!"
Empress Wu waved her hand, brushed Shangguan Wan'er away and walked out. The daughter was still kneeling, kneeling upright and upright. She snorted, "Are you admitting your mistake? I don't dare to take it seriously."
Lin Yutong also looked at her, "My daughter is kneeling here, not because she has done anything wrong as the princess protecting the country. It is because, as her daughter, she has made grandma angry."
The words "Mother is angry" made Empress Wu's eyes turn red instantly, and she couldn't breathe smoothly. She raised her finger and pointed at Lin Yutong, her hands shaking, "Do you still care if I'm angry or not?"
Lin Yutong grabbed Empress Wu's hand and her eyes were red, "Auntie, you are my auntie, why don't I care if you are angry or not? We can live to this day and have our current status, that is
Auntie, you have planned everything step by step! For the sake of your children, just think about your frightening days these years, how can I not feel sorry for you? However, whether as the princess protecting the country or as your daughter, today
You have to do all this!"
She held Empress Wu's hand tightly, and gently pressed her acupuncture points, while saying, "People do things either for private reasons;
, Auntie, please tell me, is this method rough or not? Regardless of whether everyone believes that King Qi has the intention to rebel or has the ability to rebel, let’s just say that Zhou Yushi’s job is rough or not? In this court,
There are no idiots standing! Even the daughter can see such flaws at a glance, but what about others? Yes! You don’t care if the courtiers see it, but you don’t care if the prince sees it either? You know the prince’s temperament?
, what would he do if he found out? Auntie, Xian'er will never give up! He will definitely investigate to the end... What will happen then? What should we do? Mother and son turn against each other? Relatives become enemies? Auntie,
, what will happen at that time? King Qi has been convicted, and my father has completely separated from you! The prince turned against you due to official business... What should I do? When I knew this, my heart was in trouble all night
!The son thought, what does the son want? The son has everything, the love of his parents, the love of his elder brothers, the respect of his younger brothers and sisters... The son cherishes his flesh and blood relatives, the son is looking forward to coming home, the parents are harmonious, and the brothers are in love! In the son's heart, the title is not the title.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter how many rights you give me. I just hope that you and your father will be well, and I hope that the prince Xianer will not be embarrassed... My son, this is nothing more than what I want."
Empress Wu's tears suddenly fell down and she turned her face away. The anger caused by 'betrayal' that was pressing in her heart seemed to dissipate all of a sudden.
She shook off the pull, raised her hands and quickly wiped away her tears when she turned around, and sat on the couch, "What are you kneeling for? Wait for me to help you?"
Okay! The fire is gone! If you are just angry, then it is not a big problem.
Lin Yutong got up and then said: "This is private. As far as the public is concerned, as the princess protecting the country, I have to stand up. Why? Because I am afraid! If I can frame King Qi today, then tomorrow
Where is the son? Can he also frame the emperor's brother? Tomorrow, he can also frame the son, the son, the son, the prince, and the peace?"
In fact, every child of Empress Wu has been framed! So what about Taiping, who was doted on by Empress Wu? They were not framed in the same way.
"If it can spread to the royal family, it will surely spread to all officials."
In fact, there are a huge number of officials who have been framed. People like Di Renjie have been framed and almost died because of it. He was imprisoned and falsely accused of treason. Di Renjie admitted it on the spot, yes! I just want to rebel.
Because he got a confession, he was spared the physical pain. He turned around and tried to find a way to ask his son to go out and find a way to meet the empress at that time. This was considered as saving his life! After coming out, the empress asked why he had to admit the rebellion. Di Renjie
He said, "If you don't admit it, I will stand in front of you without my life."
From this we can see how far the crisis has reached.
"If separatism becomes a trend, what kind of court will it be? What kind of world will the world be like? And those who set off separatism will definitely leave their infamy in the history books. As you said, my mother, everything is cloudy and only reputation can be passed down.
Qiangu. But when it comes to the mother, why does she not care about this reputation? My daughter is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. She is deeply loved by you and her father, and is named the protector of the country. The son also said that where the child is, the glory of the Tang Dynasty is
Just now! You can’t let the sky of the Tang Dynasty be covered with dark clouds. If you want the people of the Tang Dynasty to raise their heads, they will see a clear sky. Are you wrong?"
Empress Wu looked at this daughter seriously. She gave birth to a child and became a mother. She was no longer the thin and pitiful child she used to be. She was taller and plumper, and her face and facial features became more and more like hers. Everyone said that she looked like herself, yes
Yes! They look alike! But their temperaments are really different.
Listening to this statement, there is actually a hint of innocence!
So, she laughed, because it was so ridiculous that she could do something so tough but have such naive thoughts. She said, "I know what you are thinking. You think neither Li Shangjin nor Li Sujie is capable of doing this."
People... But you don’t know, some people prefer incompetent people! Because incompetent people are easy to control! As long as their surname is Li, as long as they are the descendants of your father, in the eyes of some people, they can be used! Otherwise
, why did Taizong kill all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji after Xuanwumen? Li Jiancheng was the prince, and his descendants were killed to prevent them from taking advantage of their status. What about Li Yuanji? Li Yuanji
What's the point of killing his son? Hatred cannot be passed down to descendants. This is what Emperor Taizong taught his descendants with his blood."
"Are there too many people scolding Emperor Taizong? We don't scold him on the face, but behind his back? Don't we scold him in the history books? He scolds me! My son's idea is just the opposite of his mother's. In the history books, some should be learned, and some should be learned.
Don't learn from it. Not only don't you learn from it, but you should also take it as a warning! Moreover, this incident is different from that of Ta|Zong! Ta|Zong didn't set up a trap, he mobilized troops! Instead, he did it openly and killed
Just kill him, he did it, he took the responsibility! Therefore, Emperor Taizong's official conduct was relatively pure and upright. Why? Just because of one word - Ming!"
Are you here to quarrel with me?! Empress Wu also became angry. She slammed the table, stood up, and pointed outside, "It's so easy to say! What should I do if I ask you to tell me?"
"If you are not at ease, just move it to the capital and put it under your nose."
"You are the only one smart, the only one who understands the truth that is under your nose! Then why don't you think about it, why do you always give it to remote places? If you go and look at the history books, how many emperors have to keep secret the death of the emperor.
Why? Because the heir is far away from the capital and cannot fly to the capital. It is better for you to leave the clan in the capital. Are you afraid that no one will snatch it when the time comes? Your father and I often patrol the east, and in the east
Capital Luoyang. Then what? Then release these people in the capital, and you won't be afraid of trouble and they will occupy Chang'an, and we won't be able to come back even if we want to." So, it makes sense to eradicate the roots and break the whole world! "Instead, we can't come back."
You, what do you do?"
"I used the excuse that the father missed his son and brought him back to the capital in a glorious manner. And then right under my nose! If they didn't know the seriousness, what they really wanted to do, I just grabbed the handle and pushed it down.
, so that he will never be able to turn around in this life. If he is really stupid, then I will use them to fish. If someone really wants to support this kind of idiot, then just take the bait, and I will make it when I catch it. And this bait is just for this crime, killing people.
It's too much, and it's not in my father's honor, then I'll lock him up. He'll be treated well in food, drink, clothing, and even weddings and funerals, but he won't be allowed to come out. I'll circle his mansion and lock him up for thirty-five years.
Ten years, what’s left? But if you are very smart, don’t do anything out of bounds, and are not stupid enough to be taken advantage of, it will be very troublesome! I have to be patient and break it up little by little. There are many people in my family.
If it is over, things will become complicated and the minds will not be unified. There will be no loopholes to take advantage of!" After saying this, he looked at Empress Wu and said, "I am not afraid to say this to my father! If it really harms the country, it will bring consequences to the world.
If there is turmoil, then this is how we must deal with it!”
Empress Wu was speechless, looking at the rain outside the window with a gloomy expression.
The hall fell into silence again, thunder roared outside, and no one dared to breathe inside or outside.
The atmosphere at this moment is as depressing as the sky outside!
Lin Yutong looked around, took a deep breath, walked a few steps forward, pulled Empress Wu's sleeve and shook it.
What are you doing? Empress Wu wanted to pull her back, but Lin Yutong refused to let go, shook her again, and called out: "Aniang?"
If there is anything else, tell me! Just one word, and I can be taught by my own daughter!
She got angry again! Tell me, why is it so angry? She called out again tentatively: "Aniang?"
If you can hear it, speak it!
Lin Yutong raised his head and blinked, carefully looking at her face, and then asked softly: "Did I really say that?"
Say it!
Empress Wu's anger was rising. She thought she would hear some good advice, but she didn't expect her sleeves to be shaken again. She was arguing with her just now, and her daughter, who was blushing and thick-necked, now
Zi opened her mouth, her voice was soft and waxy. She pulled her sleeves, with a cautious look on her face, and then said softly: "Auntie, I'm hungry!"
Empress Wu: "..." All the tempers disappeared in this sway and in this "I'm hungry"!
