Chapter 382 Li Yuanfang: I will bear the grievance of killing my relative!
Li Yan held Wu Yizong's head and stood in front of the Daming Palace.
The Imperial Guards guarding the palace city stood guard and looked over frequently, with full awe in their eyes.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that the youngest fourth-rank leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion would dare to attack a foreign relative.
After all, in front of the Suzaku Gate not far from here, when Li Yuanfang was still a Wu Dewei, he killed Wu Minzhi with one blow.
But the present is not as good as it used to be. The small officials of the internal guards at that time are now numerous important ministers of the imperial court.
The bigger an official becomes, the more he has to consider the impact of all aspects. Frequently staining his hands with the blood of royal relatives will naturally lead to criticism.
Unexpectedly, this person behaved as usual, killing the Queen Mother's nephew whenever he asked, and even came to see her.
Seeing Wu Yizong's ugly face, his wide eyes staring blankly, blood dripping on the ground, this scene is really shocking.
Not long after, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind. Before a figure could step forward, he jumped off the horse and prostrated with a cry: "Leader Li!!"
The visitor was undoubtedly Jin Liangtu. After receiving the news, he was shocked, angry, and even more embarrassed and angry.
Wu Yizong did not choose any other wives, but only his wife. This made him, a Tang Dynasty man, have to remember his identity as a Silla man.
But before he could comfort his shocked wife, another piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.
Before an hour had passed, Li Yuanfang caught Wu Yizong and beheaded him directly.
Although he was the one who promoted him, he could catch the thief as quickly as possible, which was already the most benevolent and righteous, and he also directly killed him. Even though he knew that Li Geling and the Queen Mother were not dealing with him, Jin Liangtu was so moved that he could not be more moved.
He said in a loud voice: "Li Ge has received such great kindness, and the subordinate officials are so heartbroken that it is difficult to repay him!"
Li Yan helped him up and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this among the golden men. It is a saint who kills relatives in a righteous way and never shows partiality. Only then can I kill this beast for the sake of justice."
Jin Liangtu looked at the expression on Li Yan's face. In order to calm his heart, this man was still forcing a smile, and silently made up his mind that he would repay this kindness of knowing him and repay the sage of the Tang Dynasty for his righteous act of annihilating relatives.
Li Yan didn't know what Jin Liangtu was thinking, but he couldn't help it anyway. He was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
[Buzai Wuming (effective)]
[Wu Yizong’s highest attribute is family background, and he successfully extracted 1 point of family background attribute point]
[Obviously a strong man but still cautious (effective)]
[Should the extraction attributes be converted into reserve attributes?]
【yes】
[The current reserve attribute points are 2 points, which can be converted into 1 free attribute point. 】
[Physique: 22 (Your qualifications are extraordinary and rare in the world)] → [Physique: 23 (The road to extraordinary is at your feet)]
Two points of reserve attributes, one comes from Yang Zhirou who asked to be killed not long ago, and the other comes from Wu Yizong.
This physical improvement is so comfortable.
The most important thing is that Li Yan confirmed his previous speculation by killing Wu Yizong. After becoming a relative of the Queen Mother, the family background attributes of Wu's children increased.
The queen mother's relatives are really different from the queen's relatives. Since ancient times, there are countless relatives of the queen mother who have been in power, and many of them are notorious. If the queen's relatives are like that, they will be labeled as nepotism and attacked. Therefore,
The queen's relatives are mostly virtuous and talented who can be remembered in history.
As for the children of the Wu family, as long as they can be of some use, they are not useless at all.
This is not surprising. Historically, after receiving education for more than ten years, everything they did was a complete mess, let alone now?
In this way, Li Yan saw this majestic avenue of his own.
If you rely solely on achievement points to add attributes, 1 point of physical constitution will cost 1,000 achievement points. It is almost impossible to reach the limit in this world. However, by killing the children of the Wu family and converting attributes, there is really hope for 30 points of physical constitution.
After killing Wu Yizong, Jin Liangtu burst into tears of gratitude, and Li Yan felt relieved. The two talked for a while, and then Cao An hurriedly came out: "Lead Li, your majesty will call on you."
Li Yan was not prepared to bring the head to Li Hong. After all, the saint grew up in the palace and was not suitable to see such blood. He handed it to Jin Liangtu: "Wu Yizong's body will be handed over to the inner guard later."
The Criminal Department will handle it, and Mr. Jin will go and hand it over."
Jin Liangtu looked at Wu Yizong's head with great hatred, wishing he could smash it into ashes, and said: "Yes!"
Li Yan followed Cao An into the Daming Palace, and all the way to the Zichen Palace, he found Eunuch Gao kneeling beside him, waiting outside, while Li Hong was waiting at the door of the palace, without even looking at Empress Wu's confidant.
When he saw Li Yan approaching, the saint actually took the initiative to greet him and called out: "Yuan Fang!"
Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty!"
Li Hong grabbed his hand: "Wu Yizong deserves to die, but now I regret it very much. I should have made it clear in the edict that you should not be allowed to take this responsibility!"
The edict states that if there is any slight resistance, he will be killed without mercy. In fact, Li Yan is allowed to make the decision on his own whether to kill or capture. After all, who can resist in front of him?
For a mere Wu Yizong, saying he resisted means resisting, saying he did not resist means not resisting. Whether to kill or not to kill was not a matter of a thought?
Therefore, Li Hong not only wanted to see Wu Yizong die and calm down a little bit afterwards, but he also felt sorry for letting his most trusted minister take responsibility for him.
Li Yan said sternly: "In the past, He Lanmin did evil things, but his reputation remained the same. I am very angry. This Wu Yizong still wants to do great evil. How can we let him live? This is all my fault, and I will bear the full responsibility."
!”
Li Hong shook his head: "Absolutely not. I will fulfill the orders and investigate the case thoroughly!"
The two of them walked into the palace, Li Hong climbed up the steps, returned to the dragon chair and sat down, his eyes became cold: "If the Queen Mother hadn't allowed the children of the Wu family to enter the literature hall, and frequently invited the wives into the palace, this disaster would not have happened.
The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell recently, and she may be deceived by the traitors around her..."
At that time, there was a great disaster in the pass, and Empress Wu also used this excuse to put the prince under house arrest in Shaoyang courtyard. Li Hong was not a vengeful person, and that was fine originally.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now that the children of the Wu family dare to act wildly on his wounds, relying on the support of the Queen Mother, no matter how good-tempered they are, they can't stand it, so don't blame him.
Settlement!
Li Yan came to the seat at the foot of the stairs and knelt down. After hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly: "The high official is from the Queen Mother's palace. Since he is waiting outside the palace, I hope your majesty will recruit him."
Li Hongdao: "Forget it, recruit him in."
The high eunuch came in with his head lowered and fell on the ground: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Li Hong now disliked everything around Empress Wu, and said coldly: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Eunuch Gao said: "The Queen Mother has said that the children of the Wu family are rebellious and causing trouble in the palace. Please punish them. She has no way to teach her nephew, and she has no face to face her fate. She hopes to live in Yong'an Palace and never leave the palace again!"
Li Hong was startled when he heard this, but became very interested: "Did mother say that?"
Li Yan's eyes became solemn and he immediately said: "I have something important to report to Your Majesty alone..."
Li Hong waved his hand: "You all should stand down!"
Eunuch Gao received no response and had to resign, and Cao An immediately left the palace with his chamberlain and maidservants.
Soon, only the emperor and his ministers were left in the huge Zichen Hall.
Li Yan made sure that there was no one around, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's plan is sinister. We cannot kill more of the Wu family's children, and the Queen Mother cannot be imprisoned in the harem at this time."
"The saint's ceremony of marrying the plowing people and the queen's ceremony of marrying the silkworms are setting an example for the people of the world. The saint's actions are related to the country's people's livelihood. Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time. If you kill your relatives and ban the queen mother, no matter the reason is right or wrong.
If it is wrong, if it spreads, the reputation of benevolence will be greatly damaged."
"While this incident has had a bad impact on the people, the direction of the court will also change. Those ministers who do not want to go to Luoyang, those who are unwilling to take the imperial examination, and those with ulterior motives are waiting for His Majesty to make a mistake and find someone to criticize.
Excuse."
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
Li Hong's expression changed as he listened.
The relationship between monarch and ministers is extremely delicate. As the imperial power weakens, the power of ministers will increase. Everything is a trade-off.
Li Zhi's policy of governing was to strive for more imperial power while ensuring the overall situation of the Li Tang Dynasty. Li Hong was trained as a prince since he was a child, and he naturally understood that the ministers who supported him one moment may change the next moment.
Attitudes and political struggles are ever-changing.
Just looking at the person below him, Li Hong sighed sincerely: "Yuanfang, you are the only one among the officials in the Manchu Dynasty who can say this. I still remember that time, when you sneaked into the mansion of the Helan traitor, and you and I
To be clear, you have remained true to your original aspirations over the years and have not changed at all..."
Li Yan was lacking in wisdom at that time, but now he deliberately spoke bluntly and said with a smile: "I still remember that in the mourning hall, I swore to kill He Lan Minzhi with Your Majesty. I am afraid that among all the officials in the court, I am the only one who can do this.
Circumstances."
Li Hong sighed sincerely: "Yes! With Yuanfang's help, it is like God's will. So how should we deal with today's matter?"
Li Yan said: "This matter can be big or small, but if it gets serious and the children of the Wu family are executed, then the faces of the ladies who enter the palace will be greatly tarnished, and the target of their resentment may change."
"Besides, people are sympathetic. The Wu family is so miserable that they will ignore the wrong things and focus on killing their relatives."
"At that time, rumors will also be born, just like Taizong's visit to the underworld and the late emperor trying elixirs..."
"Your Majesty's name of benevolence is for the country and the people, and the prestige he has accumulated year by year is not worth losing for the sake of the Wu family!"
Li Hong took a deep breath and showed his anger: "Speaking of rumors, I also heard that rumors about you were also spread among the people. Seeing that you are young and in a high position, you can't hold it back. You are so vicious and spread rumors. It is really hateful!"
Li Yan also sighed, and then concluded: "In my opinion, the case ends with Wu Yizong, and it is emphasized that Wu Yizong intended to murder Shangguan's noble daughter in the palace. Taking this opportunity, he can serve as Shangguan's minister."
Rehabilitate.”
Li Hong immediately understood: "In the past, Shangguan's minister was executed for opposing the Queen Mother. It is indeed wonderful to rehabilitate him now, and the ministers will naturally agree..."
At this point, he fell silent, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand the truth, and I also know that this is the safest way to deal with it, but I really can't bear to let the warrior thieves go!"
After Li Yan was silent for a while, he entered the final topic: "Who is the root cause of this disaster?"
Li Hong made no secret of his disgust: "Since the Queen Mother is conniving, how can these thieves enter the Literature Museum?"
Li Yan said: "In the past, Wu Min was arrogant and arrogant because of the protection of Mrs. Rong Guo. Today, the children of the Wu family are still like this. Even if your majesty kills all the children of the Wu family, won't there be other evil thieves who make trouble? On the contrary, if you keep the children of the Wu family,
It will be more beneficial to His Majesty!"
As long as the children of the Wu family do one wrong thing, Empress Wu's reputation will be ruined. It is precisely because Empress Wu saw this that she wanted to get rid of her nephews and even wanted to use their lives to fight back.
Li Hong understood and said hesitantly: "But if the children of the Wu family really want to continue to do evil, how can they be stopped?"
Li Yan said categorically: "Whenever the children of the Wu family do evil, it is up to me to stop them, and it is up to me to kill them!"
Li Hongda was moved. There was no distinction between right and wrong in politics, and he specifically caught and killed relatives. There had never been such ministers in the past. His eyes turned red: "Yuanfang, this will definitely become an excuse for the ministers to criticize you. I have wronged you so much! No way."
, I can’t let you bear this alone, I must let others share it..."
Li Yan flatly refused and said eloquently: "With the late emperor's edict, I am justified in doing this. If someone else does it, it will be suspected of connivance by Your Majesty. Please bear this grievance fully!!"
