Chapter 120 The Emperors Wrath, just prove it in your heart
The leaders and envoys of various Tiele tribes participating in the alliance left Lingzhou one after another within two days and headed for the grassland.
Generally speaking, Li Longji was quite satisfied with the results of this alliance. He had accomplished the feats that only Taizong could achieve back then. Among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong was the first and he was the second. Now there should be no controversy.
Li Longji's vanity was greatly satisfied. This was an almost flawless alliance ceremony!
If Yang Yuhuan’s disappearance is not included.
Zhang Xun, the ten general of the Youzhou frontier army who was on duty that day, and the following fifty people have now all been imprisoned. Although these people unanimously said that Yang Yuhuan left because he insisted on attending a banquet on the grassland north of the Yellow River, they did not know where to go.
Nothing can stop it.
But what Brother Ji needs is not an explanation, and he doesn't want to delve into the truth of the matter at all.
Brother Ji just wants results!
If the result is satisfactory, he will not pursue it; if the result is not satisfactory, then he will be sorry.
As for whether these Qiu Ba people were innocent, Brother Ji didn't think much of it. He thought it didn't matter and didn't take it to heart.
If Yang Yuhuan comes back, then these people can be dealt with casually, or even let go lightly.
"Lishi, prepare to return to Chang'an. Take the coffin with you on the way."
It’s just that it’s convenient for Pang Yipeng to do it now. I can’t assume that all the sergeants involved in repairing the bridge will run away, and Pang Yipeng is just the first unlucky one.
Gao Lishi knelt down and begged.
The only thing left is Li Longji’s body!
"Huanhuan! Huanhuan!"
Yang Yuhuan said he was slow to say he was going up.
Now is the time to watch a joke. The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad! After dealing with the Youzhou Army, the last wave is not the Shuofang Army!
People who were fished out of the Yellow River must have looked ugly, with their bodies covered with yellow sand. Naturally, Li Longji's body needed to be restrained and put on makeup before Li Long could see it.
Anyone who mentions that will be suspected of death!
Outside the coffin made of bad sandalwood, Li Longji, who had not yet died when he was young, was lying quietly outside. You have not yet changed out of the palace clothes that can only be worn by a noble concubine, and the thick paint on your face that can only be worn by a noble concubine has been
The body has also been processed, and it is said that it will decompose if stored for a long time.
"I trusted him so much and entrusted Huanhuan to his subordinates to take care of me. How did he repay my trust? Ah!
"I'm going to Jiedu Mansion to discuss matters. I have nothing to say."
As if to confirm Zhang Xun's suspicion, the corpses from the previous series were found one after another. The corpses of several eunuchs and palace men were missing. All of them died of drowning.
The local stone bridge that runs under the Yellow River is further away. To be honest, Zhang Xun is also one of the culprits. It was I who set the banquet location under the open grassland north of the wooden bridge.
That is not a road that is often traveled.
As soon as he saw the other party's expression, Li Long's heart sank to the bottom.
"I am a humble minister who is willing to give up all his posts and return to his fields. I only ask the saint to spare the lives of Pang Ye and others. Please grant the permission to the saint."
If Yang Yuhuan cannot come back, it is inevitable that these people will be buried with him.
For you, that may just be an escape from an illusory dream where desires and evil thoughts are intertwined. You will also have to bear the infamy of Qingshi again, and you will have to endure curses and criticism from all sides.
"Go to Lingnan! Get him to Lingnan! I want him to resign. I want him to come here and watch the frontier for me, and reflect on his mistakes! What he owes me will be paid in his lifetime!"
This time, Li Long's sadness turned into a river, but he didn't dare to cry. He was surrounded by spies sent by Wu Zetian.
Eight days ago, the first good news came.
"Huanhuan, don't leave, Huanhuan! What will I do if he leaves?"
"I'm not guilty, please punish me. People can be resurrected after death. I'm sorry for my incompetence. I ask the saint to express my condolences."
After sitting outside lamenting for a long time, Li Long waved to the "transparent man" Yan Gaoqing in the corner.
It's like killing seventy chickens.
Li Long put away the lament on his face and said calmly.
Isn’t that how he repays me for my kindness to their family?”
In the Yellow River in spring, the flood season has just passed, but the broken ice outside the river has appeared. It is bad during the day, but the water temperature outside is still frighteningly high at night. If it falls out of the river at night, unless it can fall back out of the river in a very short time
He was fished out and kept warm in front of the fire, and ginger tea was used to cool down the cold.
"Return to the saints, and according to military law, be the leader of the owl."
"Did they all ignore me?"
"That matter cannot be done earlier, it must wait until I return to Chang'an."
Li Long roared at Pang Yepeng!
But you are the only saint in Xiaotang. It is said that the saint damaged the body of the dragon because of his sorrow. This is the great fortune for the thousands of people in Xiaotang."
Huanhuan is dead, why can’t those people in Lingzhou still be alive! We must also be buried with them! Whether they are or not is not directly related!
In a certain section of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, when local fishermen were fishing online, they picked up a man wearing eunuch clothes. He was one of the eunuchs who served Pang Yipeng.
The corpse was quickly sent to Ji Ge City, where the worst gangsters in the area were responsible for the inspection.
Li Long's eyes lit up, and he instantly recalled the stunning beauty of Li Longji's eight sisters at the Yang family's birthday banquet a few months later.
Youde and others in front, including the border troops of Shuofang Army, all knelt on the ground!
The only thing that cannot be confirmed is that Li Longji and his party should have fallen into the water while crossing the bridge. This temporary wooden bridge collapsed for some reason on the night of the banquet! It is extremely unlikely that Li Longji and his party were not crossing the bridge.
Encounters are measured.
It can only be said that each has his own merits and is on par with Li Longji.
"Pang Yepeng! He temporarily took over the post of military governor of Youzhou and led all the sergeants on duty from Lingzhou and above!
The old man who participated in the autopsy came to a very definite conclusion: he died of drowning!
The entire chapel was silent, except for my voice.
For a moment, Li Long didn't know how to describe his mood.
"Is he threatening me?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, Shi Yang Yuhuan, the marching commander of the Youzhou border army who was on the expedition, walked back with a small sweat on his face. I looked at his face
Pang Yepeng, who was as heavy as water, looked at Gao Lishi and others who dared to express their stinginess. He had been brewing something in his stomach for a long time, but now he knew how to say it.
Few of the bridges built by Fang Chongyong in later generations did not have such functions and could be easily dismantled.
I quickly loosened Pang Yipeng's cuffs, straightened my dragon robe, and then scolded in a deep voice: "Just tell me if you have nothing to do!"
"I will do it then."
Too few people have walked on that bridge recently. There are less than 2,000 leaders and envoys of Tiele tribes alone, and that includes the Youzhou frontier army. The quality of the wooden bridge itself is very advanced. When Pang Yepeng was crossing the bridge
I felt a sound of wood rubbing against my feet.
It also lets people know that saints value love and righteousness.
Zhang Qiqiu, who built wooden bridges, was assigned to join the army in the Western Regions. Did you hear anything from me earlier?
"Back to Saint, there is indeed no news..."
At this moment, I was the only one in the mourning hall, even Yan Gaoqing had gone out.
What happened before was indeed beyond Pang Yepeng's expectation.
"Although the saints, Lingzhou and others did not make any small mistakes, their sins are punishable by death. Spare our lives and let us go to the battlefield and perform meritorious service!"
According to the itinerary, Li Long stayed in Ji Gejin for ten days, and it was time for me to return to Chang'an.
The suspected interceptions, vendettas, and conspiracy to assassinate may all exist. It is very likely that Huanhuan and we were not broken below when the bridge broke and fell into the water and died.
Two Jiedu envoys were killed in the north, one of whom was a famous general who had conquered the whole north. The situation in the north of Xiaotang also ushered in drastic changes.
"I understand, a saint only worries.
Generally, these are the sisters of the Taizhen monks. The saint cannot canonize you as a sign of kindness to the Taizhen monks."
In the small hall of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion, Pang Yipeng walked around anxiously and calmly. Gao Lishi, the governor of Youzhou Jiedu, Pang Yipeng, the governor of Shuofang Jiedu, and the governor of Ji Ge, etc., all kept their words and looked up with their heads raised.
Hell, no one is willing to get into trouble.
It’s just that everyone knows, why does Li Long still have this tone in his heart, and whether the person who should be punished has been punished, I will leave no matter what!
"Get out of here!"
While Pang Yepeng was scolding, he kicked and hit Gao Lishi. The former did not resist at all and even used his hands to resist.
Well, Li Long turned his head and gave an order to Fang Youde, the newly appointed military governor of Shuofang who had been in office for a while, with a solemn tone!
The Youzhou frontier army that won the battle this time did not receive any rewards, and most of the junior generals in the army were demoted. Except for a few people who followed Gao Lishi and went to Lingnan Jiedu Mansion to serve as frontier generals.
, and others were all in bad luck.
Yang Yuhuan raised his head, did he dare to look at Li Long's cold eyes?
"Slave, let's do it and ask the saint to express his condolences.
"He compensated me for the ring, he sent my ring back! What do I want from his official hat? This is not something I gave him in the first place!"
There was no reason to argue. Whether it was malfeasance or conspiracy, it didn't matter. Brother Ji didn't want to bother to delve into it. Brother Ji didn't even listen to the arguments Zhang Xun and others had prepared in advance, let alone spend any effort to interrogate and investigate.
Li Long will bury you in Brother Ji. I will take Li Longji back to Chang'an and bury you in Chang'an.
Looks like a lonely person!
The sadness in my heart was immediately diluted.
Li Long said with an expression on his face.
Li Long walked down excitedly and grabbed Yang Yuhuan's sleeve and asked.
"Back to Saint, Brother Taizhen has been found, and his body has been cleaned..."
Yang Yuhuan was transferred to Hebei as a county captain, and Xu Yuan became a high-ranking civil servant, still working at the grassroots level in Youzhou. That time, all those who could not be angered by Li Long were killed.
.
A majestic emperor, he even protects the man he loves the most. What a bad thing! Pang Yepeng's death is a big thing, but my emperor, being slapped in the face, is a small thing!
Gao Lishi took off his helmet, placed it on the ground, knelt down and then stood up.
Then everyone understood it!
But Yan Gaoqing was outside a corner in the small hall, waiting for Li Long's orders at any time.
The group of people came to the small hall of the government office, and Li Long sat under the main seat and looked around at everyone. At this moment, I have not yet regained the majesty of the emperor.
I haven't recovered from the extreme sadness, and now the emptiness in my heart is no longer sadness, but anger!
When Li Long walked out of the mourning hall, Pang Yepeng and the border army generals had not been waiting for a long time at the door. Everyone was willing to take the initiative to retreat.
A long time ago, Li Long finally had enough crying. All the tenderness I had for Pang Yepeng flowed away with my tears, and what was left in my heart was nothing but warmth and hardness.
Li Long sighed and said.
…
…
Zhang Qiqiu, the Shuofang army general who was in charge of building the wooden bridge, was also affected by Chi Yu that time and was interrogated together. If he was treated better than me, he would still be much worse than us in Lingzhou.
Inviting the saint is to be sad. There are not thousands of men like Monk Taizhen, Xiao Tang.
Looking at Li Longji lying outside the coffin, he is still so ugly, almost as peaceful as sleeping. From a certain point of view, you have been freed from that period of incestuous sadomasochism. You don't have to think about what you should be.
Princess Shou should be the emperor's forbidden wife.
Fang Youde crossed his hands and saluted and said, "I am so naive and naive in human nature, I understand very well that Gao Lishi is just making a start. He is temporarily acting as the governor of Youzhou. Is that so? Li Long is worried that someone will take care of the military affairs in the border town."
Pang Yepeng died, how could his Shuofang Jiedushi escape?
"Find someone to put makeup on Huanhuan to make her look bad. I want to see you first..."
Li Long said tiredly to Yan Gaoqing beside him.
In the seventh year of Wu Zhou's longevity (AD 693), the two concubines of the emperor Li Dan, the Liu family and the Dou family, were summoned into the palace by Wu Zetian. They were eventually killed with a rod and their bodies were carefully buried. Among them, the Dou family was Pang Yepeng's biological mother.
.
"No news?"
Pang Yepeng roared at the whisper, like an angry lion.
Then Li Long slammed the table, stood up and yelled angrily.
His subordinate Zhang Qiqiu was dismissed from all military positions, tattooed on his face and sent to the border areas, forever! Yes! Xu! Use!"
Wu Zuo is not an official position, it is just a general term for those people who are responsible for funerals and often deal with corpses. Those people often assist in examining injuries and examining corpses when the government needs it. That line of work is called "Wu Zuo Xing".
His son was appointed governor at the age of ten. Who doesn't have that kind of treatment?
Li Long sighed, patted Yan Gaoqing's hand heavily, shook his head and said, "I understand, he must stop talking and go do things."
In fact, it is difficult to understand. The temporary bridge is not a one-time consumable, and it also has a secret door for "one-click destruction". During the war, the enemy cavalry is pursuing them, and the team in front cannot be destroyed in an instant.
of that bridge.
Pang Yipeng crossed his hands and saluted and said with a fierce look on his face.
Hundreds of sergeants who participated in the bridge construction, regardless of their official rank, were collectively mobilized by the Ministry of War to the safest Longzuo rear line and were deployed by the Longzuo Jiedushi. Those who participated in the front line against the Tubo people were among the top ten young men.
It remains one and disappears quietly.
Without warning, Li Long suddenly burst into tears and beat the coffin vigorously.
I always want to see him again! He will always go back to Chang'an!"
Now that Monk Taizhen is here, the sage said, "Be nice to your family. Bring Monk Taizhen's family to Chang'an so that they can pay homage to you from time to time."
"Everyone go away and leave me alone."
Pang Yepeng asked in a deep voice.
Perhaps, that is really a good thing for Pang Yipeng.
To use a popular saying, this means: Everyone doubts love!
As Gao Lishi was dealt with, the hearts of the Youzhou frontier troops were also quietly undergoing subtle changes.
It hurts so bad, it really hurts my heart!
Yan Gaoqing asked loudly after getting off: "Sage, if you want to see Taizhen from the front..."
Pang Yepeng roared at Gao Lishi.
Before Li Long returned to Chang'an, he immediately demoted him and transferred him to Hedong as governor. He was promoted and rotated among several Shangzhou in Hedong.
Otherwise, even if he drowns, he will freeze to death.
When Li Long heard the news, his heart sank a little!
Pang Yipeng said a word and left. Everyone followed cautiously, fearing that the saint's anger would be directed at them.
Fulfillment and sorrow, cycle back and forth. Thinking of the passion and excitement of being with Li Longji when I was young, it makes my heart feel like a knife.
Li Long held the coffin and cried like a child.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will be buried dead! Haha, those people just wait for my wrath!
Yan Gaoqing suggested animatedly.
"Well, all the guards on duty that night from Lingzhou and above will be dealt with according to military law."
Well, Li Long walked down after feeling relieved, kicked Pang Yepeng to the ground, pointed at me and cursed:
Fang Youde, Pang Yipeng and others all filed out, and the entourage and soldiers in the government office's small hall also quietly entered, leaving Pang Yipeng alone sitting on the ground.
That move set a precedent and opened the door for the emperor to find excuses to kill the frontier generals! In the future, because the men in the front palace were unhappy, could the emperor kill the frontier generals at will?
You are still Li Longji, but you have not yet become Concubine Yang.
The situation Zhang Xun is facing now is like one of the boots downstairs falling to the ground, waiting for the other one to fall to the ground as well.
Lingzhou and others must say that Li Long personally supervised the execution. The soldiers on duty on the day of the accident were also executed. Did Pang Ye give us any chance to explain? He didn't even bother to ask.
Any news is not bad news. Zhang Xun hopes for a miracle in his heart, but I also understand that hope is slim.
Yan Gaoqing urged.
The next time I felt so sad was when my mother was killed for some reason when I was still young.
"Fang Aiqing, as a guard, let the person he was protecting die. What crime should he be punished in the military?"
A long time ago, Pang Yepeng, whose mouth was bleeding, knelt on the ground and begged.
I am so sorry for you! Ah!
Li Long sat down on the ground dejectedly, waved his hands to everyone and said.
If anyone dares to move, who knows what Li Long meant by that sentence.
