121: Dispose of the Tang family
However, just a few days after this incident, there were letters of plea from all over the country that were sent to the capital, and it is said that almost all of them were written by officials and literati scholars from all over the Tangzhou Songshan Academy, and the Tangzhou side was even more serious, because of this incident, the Songshan Academy was ordered to stop teaching, which caused a lot of chaos, and some students who revered the Tang family went to the yamen to make trouble, and the whole Tangzhou was in chaos.
And in the past few days, the capital is not calm, many literati students and some officials who do not know the so-called kneeling in front of the palace gate to plead for mercy and cry out for grievances, the forbidden army guarding the palace gate has reported several times, Xiao Zhenglin just said to go with them.
What made Lou Yueqing even more speechless was that some scholars ran to the gate of the courtyard to make trouble, saying that she slandered the Tang family, intended to cause trouble to the country, and insulted her, and directly designated her as a victim of the country and the people, Qi Zheng originally planned to arrest them, but Lou Yueqing asked him to leave them alone, so those people are still outside, and the guards of the Yulin Army guarding the door are angry, but they can only endure it because of her orders.
Rong Zhi was very angry when he heard these scoldings, and wanted to go out and shoot them to death several times, but Lou Yueqing stopped him, so he could only ignore it.
Lou Yueqing knew that if she did something to the pedantic and ignorant scholars outside who only understood the way of saints, even if it was just to arrest them, those people would make a fuss, and the consequence would be that the entire Liguo would crusade against her.
She knew before that dealing with the Tang family would cause chaos, but this time it was caused by Tang Hui's own confession, just because she was involved, those people were all making such trouble, if she directly attacked the Tang family, I am afraid it would be even more difficult to end.
The so-called literati can disrupt the country, and that's what they say.
In this way, there has been a lot of trouble for seven or eight days, these people have made trouble every day, and there have been several chaos, of course, this is just a mess in the capital, Xiao Zhenglin has sent the Praetorian Guards to suppress it, and there are countless large and small chaos that have occurred in various places, especially in Tangzhou, the clan of the Tang family.
Before the Tang family entered the dynasty as an official, it was a teaching family in Tangzhou, it existed in the previous dynasty, there were many protégés under the door, the influence can be imagined, each generation of the family is highly respected, and later was called by the emperor at that time to enter the court to rank as prime minister, and therefore attracted humanity from all over the country to study in Tangzhou, Songshan Academy is very large-scale, it is said that thousands of people go to study every year, but there is not much left in the end, now the Tang family has such a big thing, smart people know what the weight of this crime is, if nothing else, the Tang family is in the catastrophe this time, and it is light to be beheaded by the whole door。
After so many days of trouble, the turmoil finally subsided, and just as these people slowly subsided, the results of the investigation and interrogation came out.
Xiao Yike and others were ordered to investigate the matter and interrogated Prime Minister Tang, but Prime Minister Tang Cheng has not spoken since he was locked up, let alone confessed, so he could only interrogate the people around him, fortunately, those people could not withstand the interrogation and confession, according to their confessions, the plague in the north was the poison given by Tang Hui, and the medicine sent by Tang Cheng to the underground in the north killed more than 100,000 people, and later Tang Hui let people spread rumors, it was Tang Cheng who sent people to secretly promote the development of the matter, incite the people, and force Xiao Zhenglin to execute Lou Yueqing, although the assassination was only planned by Tang Hui, the Tang family did not know, but later it was the Tang family who sent back the impostor, and who doesn't know how the impostor Princess Changle has troubled the country over the years, and this point is also counted on the head of the Tang family, confusing the royal bloodline, intending to cause trouble, which is a big crime that cannot be denied, plus in order to help Xiao Yihuai win the heir, he has formed a party and is ambitious all these years......
On the morning of July 17, Xiao Zhenglin issued three edicts in a row.
The first edict was to be abolished, and death would be given three days later.
The second is to abolish the crown prince, and Xiao Yihuai will be crowned King An and imprisoned.
The third way, the Tang family all raided their homes and went to prison, all the men were executed, and the female dependents and boys under the age of fourteen were enslaved as officials, but I don't know why, they didn't connect, but the Tang family's own family was wiped out, and the Tang family on the Tang side was not implicated, but the Tang family was ordered not to enter the court as officials for generations, and the Tang family was not allowed to marry highly, and no Tang family was allowed to leave Tangzhou.
It was also because it was not connected, so the people who made trouble a few days ago did not toss anymore, but returned to calm, and no one dared to object to the Tang family's disposition, because the evidence was conclusive.
Xiao Tianhuang's body has improved a lot, his complexion has recovered well, and he can raise it for a few more days, and Mo Li also took a detoxification bath two days ago, and the poisons in his body were discharged, and he was already well.
Tang Hui and the Tang family, Lou Yueqing told Xiao Tinghuang, and Xiao Tinghuang has been listening to it and has no opinion, she rarely spoke during this time, but when she heard that the Tang family was raided and destroyed but did not connect the side branches and relatives, Xiao Tinghuang was a little surprised, looked at Lou Yueqing and raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Lou Yueqing bowed: "Hmm!"
It was indeed what she meant, Xiao Zhenglin originally wanted to punish the nine clans, after all, he had always wanted to get rid of the Tang family, and now the Tang family's crimes are enough to punish the nine clans, but because of her intentions, Xiao Zhenglin took a step back and dealt with it, and only dealt with the Tang Prime Minister's own family, which was already the lightest punishment.
Xiao Tianhuang listened to this, lowered his eyes and was silent, and returned to the appearance of not caring about anything.
Seeing her like this, Lou Yueqing was a little worried: "Huang'er, will you blame your sister?"
Xiao Tianhuang raised his eyes and asked, "Why do you blame you?"
Lou Yueqing bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, with a hint of guilt in her eyes, pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "You want to destroy the Tang family so much, but I have room for them, will you be angry?"
The corners of Xiao Tianhuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Why are you angry? Sister will do things for her own reasons, there must be a reason why you choose to deal with the Tang family's leniency, and I am already satisfied with the result now!"
Tang Hui was executed, the Tang family was destroyed, and the people who hurt her died, so it was enough.
Lou Yueqing: "It's good if you don't get angry!"
Xiao Tianhuang smiled lightly, didn't speak, and lowered his eyes again to be silent.
Lou Yueqing stretched out her hand, gently stroked Xiao Tianhuang's sideburns, picked up a strand of her hair, looked at her softly and said softly: "The matter here is almost over, and your body is a lot better, in a few days, your body can be detoxified and we will leave, okay?"
Xiao Tianhuang finally reacted, raised his eyes to look at Lou Yueqing, his eyes were dyed with a hint of smile, and nodded: "Okay!"
She would love to get out of here, as soon as possible.
Lou Yueqing saw that she finally had a little bit of life, and smiled with relief.
On the second day, a man came from the courtyard.
"Who are you talking about?" Lou Yueqing looked at Qi Zheng who came in to report and was surprised.
Qi Zheng said respectfully: "His Royal Highness!"
Lou Yueqing frowned, and couldn't help murmuring: "Xiao Yixian ......"
As far as she knew, Xiao Yixi's health was very bad, and he had been recuperating in Lishan Palace for many years, and he rarely came back, and it was self-evident that he came to him this time.
Qi Zheng saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, so he asked, "Does the princess want to see him?"
Lou Yueqing thought for a while, and bowed her head: "Since they are all here, bring him in!"
Qi Zheng led the order to retreat.
Soon, Qi Zheng came back again, with two people, one was Xiao Yisui, and the other was Xiao Yisui's subordinates, who were by his side to support him.
What kind of person is this?
The body is slender, thin, and has a little shadow of Tang Hui on his face, but if you look closely, it is also a little similar to Xiao Zhenglin, but it is too pale and weak, and the heroic spirit that inherited Xiao Zhenglin is covered by illness, and a pale green robe embroidered with bamboo leaves adds a lot of vitality to him, and he walks very slowly and hard.
Lou Yueqing stood up and looked at Xiao Yixi, who slowly walked up the stairs and into the pavilion, with a somewhat complicated expression.
