After the internal examination, Wang Bo was expelled from Chang'an by the saint, and Li Xian did not stay with him very conspicuously. The reason why this person's future was promising was that he was Li Xian's old minister when he was in the palace, and even Li Xian was still young.
He had been by Li Xian's side since then.
If Li Xian successfully ascends to the throne, then he is an old minister of Qiandi. The weight of the word "Zilai Qiandi" is different, which means that the affection is extraordinary.
Li Xian became the prince, and Wang Bo came back. A talented person took part in the internal examination, and he was an old minister of the prince. How could he fail in the examination?
Even if Li Zhi and Empress Wu selected talents, they still did not depose Wang Bo.
However, Li Xian listened to the advice and arranged for Wang Bo to leave Chang'an. He served as a soldier in Hu County near Chang'an!
Yes! He transferred from civil service to military service and joined the army.
This is also right, it is time to put some cronies in the army.
But what do you say about Wang Bo? He is really just a person you call around to talk and laugh when you want to relax, and he is probably nothing else. He just went there, not even half a month ago, something happened, and he committed a capital crime.
.
As soon as the person was captured, his servants rushed to deliver the letter. They could not enter the East Palace, so they had to deliver the letter to the fourth master.
Lin Yutong frowned, and his first reaction was that something was wrong!
Why? Because Wang Bo should have committed capital crimes in history, but he survived the amnesty. Later, he went to Jiaozhi to visit his father and fell into the sea. He died of shock when he was rescued.
But it must be different now from the history books! Lin Yutong couldn't remember where Wang Bo committed the capital crime at that time. But it was definitely not near Chang'an! At that time, it seemed that he was recommended to the army because of his knowledge of medicinal materials.
I don't know what he was thinking at the time, but he hid a criminal slave. Later, when he saw that the prosecutor was investigating the slave closely, he killed the slave.
Killing an official slave privately is a capital crime!
Now that I have changed my place, why am I still committing a capital crime?
If he hadn't offended someone and they set a trap for him to retaliate against him, this would be a hell.
Thinking of this, she looked at the fourth master, who nodded, and the history books suspected that someone had set a trap and Wang Bo fell into it, so he turned in.
Lin Yutong sighed, his character, really! He is destined to be beaten!
The Fourth Master called Wang Bo's entourage, "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
This person was about to cry, "It turned out to be just an old friend of Mrs. Zhang's family in Pingkangfang asking for help!"
Mrs. Zhang’s house in Pingkangfang, this is the name of the brothel.
"...The Cuihong girl there was also an official's wife before she became an official slave."
Which official family?
The man said: "I was a student of Shangguan Xianggong..."
It is said that they are the family members of the officials involved in Li Zhong's rebellion.
Lin Yutong nodded, and it was unclear whether they were family friends. But when they met, once their identities changed, it was inevitable that they would have to look at Buddha. Lin Yutong nodded, understanding what he meant, and motioned for him to continue.
"Miss Cuihong's brother is named Zhang Meisheng. That day I went to the military camp to see my husband. When he saw it was him, my husband quickly asked if there was anyone who needed help! Zhang Langjun said that he was pestered by several disciples.
, I want to hide here for a few days. Zhang Langjun was born very well, and he was an official slave. He was just five years old when the family was in trouble, and he already has some memories. He will not be willing to be humble. My husband feels that nothing else can help.
, it was not a big deal to keep Zhang Langjun for a few days, so he left him in the camp. But who knew that the right guard army was shouting to arrest the official slaves, and my husband realized that he had been deceived by the Zhang family. Lang Jun was quite sad
Angry, he turned back to Zhang Langjun and asked, "I was thinking of my old friendship to help you, how could you harm me like this?" He was so angry that he drew his sword and stabbed him! But the princess and the consort knew that,
Lang Jun's sword... was a light sword, and it was not sharpened, so it stabbed someone to death? There must have been bruises on Zhang Langjun's body, but it could stab someone to death with just one blow? That Zhang family gentleman at that time
He just shouted that he was heartbroken, but our husband didn't care. He only said that he would go to the general to explain. Who knew that when my husband came back with several generals in the army, he found that the husband of the Zhang family was dead. There were so many people,
They all said that our husband was hiding the official slaves secretly, and when he saw the incident, he killed the official slaves to cover up the crime! This is really unjust! He just wanted to kill people, so why kill people in the military camp?"
Who did this person seeking death offend to set a trap like this?
The person who set up the trap was also bold, and dared to do this to the prince's close ministers. Was he targeting Wang Bo, or was he targeting the prince?
Lin Yutong wrote a letter and handed it to Li Xian to the East Palace.
As for the fourth master, he took this entourage and went straight to Dali Temple.
Di Renjie passed the internal examination and was appointed as the Young Minister of Dali Temple. The fourth master did not find anyone, so he named him Di Renjie.
"British Sir?" Di Renjie flipped through the post, pondered for a moment and then hurriedly got up, "Follow me to greet you."
So the Fourth Master met Di Renjie, who was known for his ability to resolve cases and be upright.
He is about forty years old and has a rather upright appearance. "I didn't know it was the official of the country who arrived, but I didn't meet you at a distance. I apologize for my sin."
"Forgive me, Mr. Di." The fourth master raised his hand to support him, "I have a case here that I need to trouble Mr. Di."
oh?
Di Renjie invited people inside and said, "Let's talk in the inner hall."
The matter is very simple. Just ask Wang Bo's attendant to explain it once. Even if you ask other people to listen, let alone an expert, you can hear the strangeness in it.
The fourth master said, "Mr. Di, although Wang Bo has been guilty of sins and was evil to the saint. But the saint also knows that this son is unruly and speaks unintentionally. It is just a small punishment or a big warning, and he has never really blamed him. When he was young, he accompanied the prince and followed him. The affection in the East Palace is extraordinary. He spends the whole day playing with the King of England, the King of Prime Minister, etc. in the palace. If this son is unruly, it is indeed rare to see such an unruly person. But why does the princess admire him? The princess said , the Tang Dynasty should be a country that can accommodate people. Take advantage of its strengths and tolerate its shortcomings, let those who dare to laugh laugh wantonly, and those who dare to sing sing freely... If the Tang Dynasty lacks the free and easy wantonness of the literati, it will be It’s missing the flavor.”
Di Renjie couldn't help but be moved. He stood up and saluted, "I dare you to disobey your orders?"
The fourth master stood up and said, "Mr. Di, this case is important. Whenever it involves the East Palace, Mr. Di should be very careful."
This reminder made Di Renjie think about it a little more. The case itself was really not complicated, so he set off that day to investigate the case. The dead Zhang Langjun's chest was bruised and purple, which was caused by being hit hard with heavy objects. of.
The local law officer said, "This must have been beaten many times..."
After testing, it was found that this was not caused by repeated beatings, but by a powerful blow. Not to mention that one Wang Bo did not have this strength, even ten Wang Bos together did not have this strength!
We can be sure that Wang Bo is definitely not the murderer.
So, Wang Bo came out. But who was the murderer? After checking the personnel, Di Renjie found out the murderer. He was a low-level officer who had only been in the camp for a few days. When asked why he wanted to kill someone, he was told that Wang Bo was proud. Wang Bo laughed at his ugly appearance, so he held a grudge, and then killed Zhang Langjun and put the blame on Wang Bo. Wang Bo: "..." When did I laugh at his ugly appearance?
Di Renjie said nothing, but he was not in a hurry to return to Chang'an. As a result, the officer died that night and was hanged and imprisoned alone in his barracks.
I checked again and found that he was still hanged.
Di Renjie understood this about the case and wrote a note and handed it to the East Palace.
Li Xian accepted the letter from the imperial sister without asking anything, but what about the pressure? Wang Bo killed someone? He was so scared that he almost peed his pants while rowing a boat. He killed someone? He wouldn't dare even if they were both brave. This condom was given to Wang Bo. This was a sign of anger. Are you following Wang Bo?
When beating a dog, it depends on the owner!
Isn't this just for the East Palace? I just sent one person below to join the army, and someone wants to kick Wang Bo away. What does that mean?
Can this matter not make people think deeply?
What was waiting for him was a murder and frame-up case involving a low-level officer! In the end, the murderer committed suicide in the military.
Li Xian looked at Di Renjie: "Is the case closed?"
Di Renjie also looked at the prince: "Your Highness, close the case!"
Li Xian was stunned for a moment and looked at Di Renjie. Di Renjie sighed, "This is a case reported in the British Gazette. The Duke has given many instructions to be extremely cautious when it involves the East Palace."
This does not mean that the case itself needs to be cautious, but it is complicated.
Li Xian slowly closed his eyes and wandered in the hall, "The general of the Right Guard Army is Wu Sansi."
Di Renjie bowed, "Your Highness, be careful what you say! There is no evidence to prove that General Wu is involved in this case."
Li Xian understood that this was a reminder to himself not to argue with his mother again over this.
"Besides, it has only been a few days since General Wu took office? Is he capable of this?" After Di Renjie finished speaking, he resigned.
Li Xian called Zhang Daan, "Check! See who is walking close to the Wu brothers."
yes!
"It's Ming Chongyan." Song Xian replied to the Fourth Master and Tongtong in a low voice, "Donggong is already investigating! Ming Chongyan has never been behind anyone's back when he walked with the Wu family. Zhang Huai asked people to keep a close eye on him.
, there is no doubt that Ming Chongyan."
Ming Chongyan? If he is not his magic stick, why would he harm Wang Bo?
Just because Wang Bo went to join the Right Guard Army? Is this what Empress Wu meant? Did Empress Wu not allow the prince to involve himself in military power?
That doesn’t make sense!
The military system of the Tang Dynasty was very messed up. The prime ministers all had the right to control the military power in Chang'an. So shouldn't the prince send someone down?
Yes! Li Xian thought the same way, "I absolutely don't believe that this is what the queen meant. If the queen was really unwilling, she would directly tell Gu that this appointment is not possible!" Isn't it the end of the world if you don't agree? Why go around in circles and kill people?
?
Is it just for personal vendetta?
Then I called Wang Bo and asked what was going on.
Wang Bo was at the princess mansion, and Tongtong also asked, who did you offend, to kill you like this?
Wang Boxu, who messed up things this time, knew that he would never develop in his official career. He was haggard and sluggish. When the princess asked, he was still confused, "Where did I offend anyone?"
Think about it more carefully!
Wang Bo thought hard for a long time before he said, "I have offended Yang Jiong."
How did you offend?
"I said he... tasted it with his eyes, and it tasted very pungent!"
This is the eyesore of parents!
"I also said that Pei Jiasanlang... has a long life, and the tomb wood can be used as an arch!"
Zhongshou refers to the age of sixty or seventy years old. What he means is: when you are sixty or seventy years old, the trees in your cemetery are so long that two people can hug them. This is to call others short-lived.
Your mouth should be sewn shut.
Lin Yutong said to him, "Who is the powerful person who can find a way to kill you? Who are you offending?"
Wang Bo thought about it and asked Lin Yutong, "Does that pretty boy named Ming count?"
Lin Yutong's expression became strange, "Did you really offend him?"
Um!
What did you say again?
Does being a pretty boy count as a curse?
Lin Yutong's expression changed drastically, he stood up and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
exist!
"Kick Wang Bo out of the palace. He will never be allowed to step into the princess's palace again in this life."
Wang Bo's expression changed. He had never seen the princess so indifferent. He reacted immediately and hurriedly said, "I saw this person at the gate of the princess's mansion, and then he cursed. I never cursed him at other times."
Doesn’t it mean that something happened between Chongyan and Tianhou? It really doesn’t mean that!
Lin Yutong then softened his expression and said, "Why are you calling someone a pretty boy at the door of my house?"
"Didn't I think that he wanted to flatter the princess? When we met later, I just muttered. Anyone who has thought about this must not be a gentleman!"
Lin Yutong grabbed the bamboo stick and beat him, "You are such a jerk!"
Wang Bo was startled, and he jumped up and ran out, "I know I was wrong! I will leave the capital now and go to see my father!"
After saying that, he stopped and saw that the princess stopped pursuing him. Then he slowly knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life! My consort has already told me before. If I haven't cultivated my moral integrity, staying in Chang'an will sooner or later cause trouble. I
I left Chang'an and traveled leisurely among the mountains and rivers... I really don't know if I will see you again in this life. I am here to say goodbye to the princess."
Lin Yutong was angry and uncomfortable, but in the end he said nothing else.
Wang □□ chuckled behind him, "I learned to swim in Shuchuan that year! Your Highness has been so kind to me, but I have never repaid you. Your Highness has only one request for me. If I can't do it, I'm really not a human being."
That’s it.” After saying that, he held his hand again and said, “Your Highness, take care, I’m taking my leave!”
And then he really left!
Let's go! It's better to drown or be scared to death than to get yourself into trouble and get killed!
But even if Wang Bo offended people with his words, did Ming Chongyan go too far?
"Ming Chongyan!" Li Xian lifted the desk. He was so angry that he was completely silent inside and outside.
After a long time, Li Xiancai wrote a letter and gave it to Baohua, "You leave the palace, go to the princess's mansion, and deliver the letter to the princess."
yes!
In the letter, Li Xian said, "I know that the emperor's sister can't tolerate disdain in her eyes, but what happened before has already made the queen angry! This time, the emperor's sister can no longer confront her head-on. As the prince, this matter
Gu handles it. The emperor's sister has taken great care of Gu, and Gu misses her affection very much, but Gu can't ask the emperor's sister to stand in front of Gu in everything."
Lin Yutong slowly closed the letter, afraid of what might happen.
No, mother and son are inevitably facing each other again.
The first thing Li Xian did was to drive Ming Chongyan out of the palace. He was a minister, and it was normal for ministers to go to the palace to see the emperor, but it was wrong for ministers to stay in the palace day and night all year round. Now,
Ming Chongyan was neither a doctor nor a female official, so why should he be retained?
But this is what he said, Li Xian said to Empress Wu: The peace is great, it is time to get married, not to have children, so it is not a good thing to go in and out with foreign men without shying away!
This was said to Empress Wu in private! What could Empress Wu say? This matter was not taken seriously, and she had no reason not to stay.
OK! Kicked them out, but Empress Wu then asked her to participate in the compilation. The main force was to give the two books compiled by the Beimen bachelor to the prince, and asked the prince to read them.
One is "Shaoyang Zhengfan" and the other is "The Biography of Filial Son".
This is called Li Xian. You need to find your own position. Your father and mother are still alive. Before you become the head of the family, you'd better be an obedient child and stop fooling around.
When Li Xian summoned more knowledgeable people to write annotations for the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Lin Yutong pressed him down and said, "That's it!" He wanted to write a special book about the Queen Mother's relatives' involvement in politics.
Yes, you can't do this! She pressed Li Xian's hand, "I'm always afraid of the tip of the needle! When should I be hard? When should I be soft? You have to use this ruler!" How could the tempers of the mother and son be so different?
How similar is it?
Li Xian did not struggle, but looked at the imperial sister who was holding him down. He chuckled at first, and then laughed out loud. He burst into tears as he smiled, "I finally understand the emperor's difficulty! I finally understand."
Got it! In fact, there is nothing wrong with the world. Everything happens when the mother wants to give birth to something! If the mother retreats, the matter will be simple! It is the mother's persistence that makes the matter more complicated! I think that there is no mother in the world who does not think about her children.
Yes! But I know now, no! No! Not all mothers can be considerate of their children! As a child, you are considerate of her...Does she appreciate it? No! No! I quit, but she refused.
Retreat! What can Gu do to satisfy her? The crown prince of Gu Yi country only needs to be an obedient child... just a child who cannot live without his mother, and the queen will be satisfied! But Gu is no longer a child! Gu is not! Gu is a child.
The Crown Prince! Sister, you always say that you should take a step back when facing my mother-in-law... But where should you step back?"
Lin Yutong turned Li Xian's face over and looked into his eyes, "You also know that you are just the prince! The prince has a king above and subjects below. How to control this degree? Are the things of the Sui Dynasty far away? Yang Yong does it
He had been the prince for eighteen years, but fell out of favor with the queen and could hardly see his father. In the end, he was framed by Yang Guang and his ministers, and was deposed as the prince. But Yang Guang, who had been a dutiful son for eighteen years, successfully killed his brother and ascended the throne.
As an emperor, you can do whatever you want. When you write the "Book of Han", where does the so-called history come from? Do you want what happened in the history books to happen again to you? If Yang Guang can be a filial son for eighteen years, you will be a dutiful son for eighteen years.
Is it difficult for you? Lifespan is irresistible!"
Li Xian's breath slowly calmed down, and Lin Yutong let go!
"Sister!" Li Xian took two deep breaths, "Fortunately you are here, otherwise, I might cause a big mess."
It’s good to know!
Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, "Just understand this truth! Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! Slow down."
Li Xian listened to the advice and really read "The Biography of the Filial Son" carefully. He often gave out books like this and asked everyone to read them together.
Lin Yutong insisted on helping whenever he could, so that things did not get worse!
Because of this incident, Li Zhi rewarded Zesheng with countless good things: "The tempers are so similar that no one is willing to take a step back! This child! He doesn't want to think about it. If I don't retreat, if I don't retreat step by step, now
Is this the situation in your government? Retreating is sometimes not a sign of weakness. As long as the scale of retreat is appropriate, it is more effective than fighting to the death! This time, he can understand this truth, which can be regarded as progress. As a sister, you,
It’s really not easy! If you don’t get through it, what can we do? The mother and son must get angry!”
Yes! Who says it's not! Whether it's Tongtong or Li Zhi, they all hope that someone will take a step back and temporarily untie this knot.
But there are some things that Li Xian can't just quit.
Li Xian handled the government affairs in a very measured way, and lived a peaceful life for more than a year, maybe less than two years!
Anyway, Zesheng has grown from half a year old to running all over the floor, his little mouth is chattering and he can talk, and the sound of the wind seems to be wrong again.
On this day, Song Xian brought Zhang Huai into the house and told Fourth Master Tongtong about the recent news. What did the news say? It said that Li Xian had an affair with a slave named Zhao Daosheng and lived a luxurious and extravagant life.
Infinite.
Lin Yutong was numb. When Prince Li became the crown prince, outsiders also said that Yinreng was arrogant, extravagant and lustful, and that men and women could not help it!
Later, it was also said that Chitose was raising an outside wife, and that Chitose was engaged in witchcraft superstition.
Those words that justified the prince were not what Chitose meant, but they were indeed done by the Mingzhu Party.
What he said about Chitose was not what Prince Li meant, but it was definitely the work of Soetu and his party.
History is like this, going back and forth again and again. Before, Li Hong was rumored to be unclear about the internal prison, and now it is said that Li Xian was having an affair with a slave. The rumors about Li Hong are flying all over the sky. That is what Empress Wu meant, so what about this?
What about the rumors about Li Xian? Will he be sure that Empress Wu ordered someone to do it?
It's not that Li Xian hadn't thought about it that way, but after the thought flashed across his mind, he pondered again. On the other hand, thinking about it, the Queen Mother wouldn't use the same method twice! Then she is not the Queen Mother this time!
If it’s not the queen, who’s responsible?
Check it out! He has not been idle for more than a year. He secretly gathered a group of people to prepare for emergencies! As soon as such rumors came out, he asked people to investigate! But he never expected that there was something wrong with it.
There are three masters: the Yingwang Palace, the Wu Family, and Ming Chongyan!
Ming Chongyan, this is not surprising!
Wu family, this is not unacceptable!
But the King of England? How could it be the King of England? You must be mistaken!
The person below lowered his head, and after a long while he said: "Your Highness, if I are willing to put my head on my head, I am the King of England."
King of England? King of England!
This blow almost made Li Xian unable to stand, "King of England?"
Yes! King of England!
Li Xian's eyes were cold and he shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
Yes! "I'm going to take the King of England's head right now!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Stop!" Seeing that the person was about to go out, Li Xian still shouted to stop! He looked hesitant, then turned his back, tightened his lips, and his heart ached with pain. No matter how hard he forced himself not to be emotional,
But the tears still flowed down uncontrollably. It took him a long while before he spoke with difficulty: "...Take Ming Chongyan's head!"
What?
"Ming Chongyan! Did you hear clearly?"
It’s clear! Can we only kill Ming Chongyan? Then... what about the King of England?
Li Xian's tears started to fall again. He gasped for air, almost curled up on the desk, and clenched his hands tightly. He closed his eyes, but his childhood flashed before his eyes.
When he was a child, Xian'er would follow him and hold his hand wherever he went. He would call for brother when he was hungry, and he would call for brother when he was thirsty. Even if he had to urinate urgently and peed his pants, he would look for his brother first with a grin on his face.
Parents are very busy, and their brothers spend much more time together than with their parents.
Later, as I grew up, many people murmured that they were not born from their mother, but Xian'er never left him. He was still the same as before. Wherever he went, the first thing he thought of was his brother.
He is stupid, he is foolish, he is honest, he is timid, he is a young brother who will be afraid when he is away from his elder brother. How could he be the King of England?
Wrong! Wrong! It must be wrong! The King of England will not harm my brother!
He just... is too gullible to trust others. He must have been bewitched by someone! Who was the person who bewitched him? The brothers of the Wu family don't have this ability. They can only rely on the magic of gods and ghosts to fool people. Ming Chongyan
.
Ming Chongyan, Ming Chongyan, I am tolerant of Gu driving you out of the palace. You slandered Gu with rumors, Gu is not angry! You have to have such a consciousness when you fight with others. But you shouldn't, shouldn't go
You deceived Gu's brother. You alienated our flesh and blood brothers. You deceived Gu's honest and cowardly brother. You deserve to be cut to pieces!
Baohua reminded from the side, "If it is Ming Chongyan, His Highness should be handed over to Dali Temple for handling! There is no need to hide this kind of case. It should be known to everyone in the court... It can also clear His Highness's reputation.
! What’s more, once someone who kills a minister privately is caught, it will be a crisis for the East Palace. You - think twice!"
Yes! It should be like this! As long as Ming Chongyan makes a fuss and only slanders the crown prince, he should be killed.
Li Xian turned around and asked Baohua, "But if this is the case, have you ever thought that if this is the case... the King of England can escape?"
What?
"The courtiers will accuse the King of England of meddling with the throne and having evil intentions. If so, the King of England will be deposed as a commoner!"
Baohua hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you can't kill people in private just because you are worried about the King of England!" What's more, is the King of England really that innocent? If he is not tempted, who can deceive him!
"It's not just for the King of England." Li Xian said it was particularly difficult. "Father... is not in good health..." His eyes can only see a faint light. If this continues, he is afraid that he will never be able to see again. Earlier
I still had a headache. The imperial sister helped me with acupuncture for several months before I suppressed the headache. Now that the brothers are fighting against each other, my father can't bear it! "This involves the Wu family again, and my father will definitely take action because of this."
If you have a dispute with your mother, then it’s better to keep quiet and handle the matter! The death of Ming Chongyan will teach the Wu brothers a lesson... The King of England is timid, so he should wake up! Don’t alarm anyone.
Just let this matter go by now!"
The royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties can no longer afford the scandal of brotherly quarrels!
That’s it! Go for it!
A few days later, a strange case occurred. Ming Chongyan was killed in his own courtyard! An arrow was taken straight to his throat and passed through him, and he died like that!
Di Renjie checked the case, and the minister of Dali Temple, who had cleared more than 10,000 cases in one year, said: It can't be solved!
Are there any cases that Judge Dee can't solve? This is amazing!
Di Renjie nodded: Yes! This case is strange and cannot be solved.
Lin Yutong didn't know that Di Renjie was protecting Li Xian.
As a result, the rumor of this headless koan became more and more evil. There was even a rumor that Ming Chongyan was actually a demon!
The demon is causing trouble and the princess of the country will kill him!
All the people in the Tang Dynasty solved this case and decided that it was Princess Zhen who killed him!
Lin Yutong: "..." It’s not easy to decide this matter! Not everything that happens to me is good!
