Nowadays, Dong Mingyue is just a concubine in the palace. It is impossible for a woman with no roots, no screen, and no family support to become a concubine.
Such a concubine is just a plaything, with no identity at all. Even if she gives birth to an heir, she is not qualified to be included in the family tree, let alone become a noble of the heaven and occupy a place when the emperor offers sacrifices to heaven...
Li Yuanjing promised a status, not just a concubine.
If she achieves great things in the future, this concubine will naturally become a noble concubine...
Mr. Dong stared at Li Yuanjing intently for a while, until he felt that Li Yuanjing was feeling uneasy as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. Then he slowly lowered his eyelids and sighed softly: "It can be seen that the prince is uneasy about the current situation, so
The picture is very big... The poor monk is in his dying years. Even if he has the intention to protect his beloved daughter, he has more than enough intention but not enough power. I only hope that the prince can take more care of him, from beginning to end. Then the poor monk chants sutras and burns incense in front of the Buddha every day, praying that the prince's ambition will be rewarded.
Good health."
Li Yuanjing's heart was pounding.
This was the first time that he showed his ambition to others, although he didn't say anything or admit anything...
But this ambition to covet the supreme power in the world made his blood flow faster and made it difficult to breathe.
Licking his lips, Li Yuanjing said: "Aspirations are rewarded... It's a bit exaggerated. My virtues are shallow and my talents are despicable. I only want to indulge in sex and be a free and easy man so that my women and children can be safe and happy.
My wish is enough."
Reservation is a must. Even if the person in front of him has a team of dead spies, Li Yuanjing will not be stupid enough to directly admit his ambition.
*****
Dragon Palace.
His Majesty Li Er sat barefooted on the soft couch. The breeze blew in from between the green bamboos outside the window, taking away the pain and heat. The cool breeze was very refreshing.
Putting the scroll in his hand on the table next to him, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Junxian in surprise: "The father of the concubine in Prince Jing's Mansion is the former Sui Dynasty minister?"
Li Junxian said: "Exactly."
The mission of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" is to protect the Holy Emperor and monitor all rebellious and unruly movements in Chang'an City. Although His Majesty Li Er believes that it is not necessary to monitor the sitting and sleeping of ministers one by one, but the royal family such as King Li Yuanjing of Jing Dynasty
Noble people must be monitored.
There are already spies in Prince Jing's Mansion.
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Crown Prince was established, and all the Qi kings and Yuan Ji were entrusted with the title of head. From His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanjing, the King of Jing, was the longest.
With such qualifications and status, how could His Majesty Li Er not take precautions?
…
Closing his eyelids slightly, His Majesty Li Er's mind wandered.
Dong Mingyue used to be the top singer in Zuixian Tower. When Zhang Shigui was assassinated, Jingzhao Mansion took over Zuixian Tower regardless of the prestige of the Hejian County Prince. From then on, Dong Mingyue disappeared and was later surrounded and killed by Jiangnan officials.
Junzhi had appeared before, and everyone thought she was a member of the Liao family. The reason for assassinating Zhang Shigui was to suppress Yixue's hatred for the rebellion.
Now it seems that it is not simple...
Li Yuanjing brought a rebel into the palace and went to see her father, who had become a monk. What was he going to do?
If you really have evil intentions, why do you dare to be so blatant?
If it is a coincidence, why is it so coincidental?
Or is it that Li Yuanjing is playing the trick of "make the imaginary the real, and the real imaginary"?
His Majesty Li Er frowned, somewhat unsure of Li Yuanjing's thoughts.
He is an extremely conceited emperor who has never dared to face himself. The so-called imperial majesty cannot allow anyone to be willing to lie dormant and regard every word he says as a guideline. Human nature is selfish, and there are always people who say what they think in their hearts.
Wearing one thing, hiding in the corner and plotting.
Just like the old and young survivors of the former Sui Dynasty in the Manchu Dynasty, how many of these people hope that His Majesty Li Er will die violently and die in heaven, and how many of them dream of restoring the Sui Dynasty?
Your Majesty Li Er doesn't care.
He knows that people's hearts cannot be controlled, but he is confident that his prestige and ability are enough to deter these evil-minded people.
It doesn't matter what you think, but you just want to think about it. If I lend you the courage, you won't dare to do it, and if you do it, you won't be able to do it!
In terms of confidence and domineering, few ancient emperors can compare with His Majesty Li Er.
He didn't care whether Li Yuanjing would conspire to rebel, although he thought that guy was as cowardly and selfish as a mouse, and would not dare to put it into practice even if he tried to break his head. What he cared about was that once Li Yuanjing really conspired to tamper with him, how many courtiers would follow him, and how many courtiers would follow him.
How much royal response?
He never cared about killing. Back then, he killed brothers and killed brothers and wiped out his entire family without batting an eyelid.
What he cares about is whether his "Zhenguan Dynasty" can continue to prosper as usual. What he cares about is how he will be evaluated in history a hundred years from now...
After a long silence, His Majesty Li Er said: "Closely monitor the father and daughter, but be careful not to alert the snake. At the same time, the monitoring of King Jing must be increased to another level. I want to know his every word, every move, even if it is breakfast or drink.
A few bowls of porridge, which concubine’s room will I stay in for the night..."
Li Junxian was stunned and said hurriedly: "Here!"
If the previous surveillance was just "routine", then from now on, it is obvious that His Majesty has become suspicious of King Jing.
"What has the prince been busy with recently?"
His Majesty Li Er picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and asked casually.
Li Junxian was stunned and said: "This..."
He didn't understand why the topic suddenly switched from King Jing to the Crown Prince, and he was even a little unsure. His Majesty's question was suitable for his purpose...
According to common sense, he, the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", is the number one "claw eagle dog" under the emperor. The surveillance, espionage and other tasks he is responsible for are all carried out secretly. Anyone who is targeted by him
Some people are either corrupt, perverting the law, conspiring to tamper with others, or they are independent and are jealous of His Majesty.
When you ask the prince now, do you think you have another opinion about the prince?
How should you answer?
After he pondered for a while, His Majesty Li Er suddenly opened his eyes, glared at him, and said displeasedly: "I will answer whatever I ask you. You are my eyes and ears, not the prince's wings. Do you still want to deceive the Holy Listener?"
, can’t you make your own decision?”
"Plop!"
Li Junxian immediately knelt on the ground, with cold sweat dripping from his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, calm down, I will never dare to have any selfish intentions! It's just that the prince's behavior has been normal recently, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Your Majesty suddenly asked a question, and I will not dare to have any selfish intentions."
Are there any omissions..."
He is the emperor's dog, and even more so the emperor's sword, an extension of the emperor's imperial power. For a person like him, it may be okay to take bribes, bend the law, kill people and buy goods. After all, he is a retainer whom the emperor trusts, and he will definitely be protected.
However, one sentence of "hoodwinking the Holy Spirit" can easily kill him...
When a dog or a knife has its own thoughts and ideas, it can bite its owner anytime and anywhere.
His Majesty Li Er snorted and nodded Li Junxian: "Don't follow the example of those courtiers in the court. They can line up behind the prince early to pursue fame and fortune and compete for power, but you are different. You just need to do it
If you do well in the task I entrust you with, I will naturally grant you the title of Duke of the country, which will be hereditary and irreplaceable."
Li Junxian was about to be frightened. He paused with his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty has learned clearly that I will follow your Majesty to the death and will never slacken off! Even if your Majesty becomes an immortal one day, please give me Zhao Zhao."
The honor of being buried with him in the mausoleum, I will live forever and be loyal to His Majesty!"
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were not as strict as the Ming and Qing dynasties. Saying the word "death" in front of the emperor could kill your whole family for "disrespect". The emperors of the Tang Dynasty advocated "immortality" and had extravagant hopes for "immortality".
"Flying Immortal", but he never blindly believed that I had a long life and boundless life. Mentioning the word "death" would end his luck, violate a taboo, and block the road to immortality and sainthood.
On the contrary, someone like Li Junxian who speaks out and expresses his thoughts, "If one day you become famous in the sky, we will bury you with a glass of poisonous wine or three feet of yellow silk, and we will follow you underground."
He received great trust and praise from the emperor.
Nothing is more important than your own life. How loyal is it to be able to lay down your life?
It’s much more reliable than flattery and nonsense that even you don’t believe…
His Majesty Li Er felt much better. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, who are you trying to deceive with these words? Tell me what the prince has been busy with recently."
Li Junxian said: "There is nothing unusual about the prince. It's just that in recent days, people have been going to the East Palace, asking the prince to give Fang Jun a message and place his nephew in the academy, hoping to become the first batch.
student."
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Does Fang Jun have a reply?"
Li Junxian paused and said: "Yes, Fang Jun said, don't care whose family the children are from, the academy's principle is to select the best, and no one can say anything..."
