Chapter 217: The Heavenly Dao is difficult to permanent
The young eunuch Yu Zhongsi knew how to break words, he took the opportunity to glance at the book making in the interval of studying the ink, and his hand trembled involuntarily, and the ink fell on the imperial case with a click, and the original smooth book was a little more ink the size of a bean.
At this moment, Yu Zhongsi was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and the maid should die......"
Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, also changed color suddenly, and his tone became more and more gloomy and terrifying. "What is the sin of defiling the book, you know it, right?"
It was as if the amiable old man just now had become a cold and terrifying son of heaven in an instant.
Yu Zhongsi didn't understand why a person could change so quickly. However, at this moment, what hung over his heart was boundless fear.
In the inner court, more than one of the inner prisoners had told them how to punish them if they made mistakes, and if they soiled the book, they were afraid that they would be beaten to death.
In the blink of an eye, the feeling of ups and downs in the sky and on the ground gave him an illusion of extreme unreality.
On the contrary, many silent eunuchs in the hall were watching Yu Zhonghe's jokes, and their hidden eyes were full of malicious schadenfreude.
"Drag it out, hand it over to the court and punish it severely!"
The eunuchs were not active in doing anything else, but they spared no effort to crack down on people like Yu Zhonghei who were vying for merit and favor, and they stepped forward one after another, dragging the young eunuch out with their hands and feet.
"The saint spares his life, slave maid, slave maid no more, no longer dare...... Ah......h
I don't know which one it was, but the noise of the shouting was smashing into his mouth with a punch, and immediately his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he was whimpering, and it was difficult to speak.
And Li Longji didn't even glance at the eunuch who had just been named, and only waved his hand, asking people to drag him out as soon as possible.
Out of the palace gate, a eunuch still felt that he was not happy, so he ridiculed the unlucky Yu Zhonghei.
"Don't you understand the truth that a companion is like a tiger? Do you think that when you step on the Qingyun Ladder, you may be walking on the Huangquan Road! Handed over to the court for disposal, it is also a cane to death, let alone ask for more blessings, don't be a human being in the next life......
Gao Xianzhi came in a hurry, and was seeing the scene of dealing with Yu Zhonghe, but he didn't ask the reason, and only reported to the Son of Heaven about the situation arranged in various places in the forbidden center.
Listening to what he said in detail, Li Longji nodded frequently, but his mind obviously belonged to something else, and the answer with Gao Xianzhi seemed a little inconsistent.
After a while, Li Longji simply waved his hand, "Gao Qing will handle the specific affairs by himself, and there is no need to tell Yu Zhen one by one." Then he was dull for a while, and then pointed to the book on the imperial case and slowly spoke.
"Let's send out the book. ”
Gao Xianzhi frowned, respectfully picked up the book, and glanced at it roughly, although his face was still calm, but there were already stormy waves in his heart, and the irrepressible emotions finally erupted.
"The saint must not have such a thought, as long as the minister is still alive for a day, he must protect the safety of the saint, and will not let the little ones succeed!"
Li Longji had mixed feelings and sighed.
When he wanted to kill this person, how could he have imagined that only this person would not give up at the last moment.
"Gao Qing doesn't need to say much, I am old and frail, I can't bear the heavy responsibility, and abdicating the position is also a blessing for the society. The prince is young and strong, and he is loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial, and he is also worthy of the great task of Kuang Fu......"
Li Longji's words fell on Gao Xianzhi's ears, and he only felt that it was funny and ridiculous, it was true that the prince was young and strong, but if he was loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial, how could he explain the current behavior of such a son stealing his father's soldiers and committing the following crimes?
But after all, you have to save face for the Son of Heaven, even if you don't agree with the Son of Heaven's thoughts, you can't break this layer.
"The way of heaven is constant, the top and bottom are orderly, and if you don't take it yourself, you are a thief, even if the sage has the heart to let the later generations shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world, you can't let the people with ill intentions go smoothly, otherwise there will be a hundred harms and no benefits in my Datang......"
Li Longji sighed again, what Gao Xianzhi said was indeed the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but in the final analysis, he still had selfish intentions, rather than an embarrassing ending after the city was broken, it was better to pave his own steps, in exchange for a decent ending, in the history books a hundred years later, he might be merciful and less sarcastic.
But how could these words be said to Gao Xianzhi? Looking at this important minister with a straight face, a bitter taste echoed in Li Longji's mouth......
Outside the Xingqing Palace, Qin Jin's face became more and more gloomy, some of his subordinates asked for a quick victory, and some hoped to persuade the people in the palace to take the initiative to fly in order to reduce casualties as much as possible.
But after weighing it for a while, Qin Jin categorically ordered:
"Prepare stones, timbers, build the gates of the palace of death, and erect the walls. ”
"Isn't General Zhonglang going to make a quick decision?"
Pei Jing asked in surprise when he heard this. He originally thought that after Qin Jin arrived, he would make a surprise plan to break through Xingqing Palace to completely stabilize the situation, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was such an order.
Qin Jin glanced at Pei Jing and asked slowly, "Do you want to kill loyal ministers and kill the Son of Heaven?"
This sentence was asked very directly, making it difficult for Pei Jing to answer face-to-face for a while. In fact, there is no turning back where the Shenwu Army and the prince decided to "admonish the soldiers", and all they can choose is the depth of the rebellion. Although the word "killing the king" had lingered many times in his subconscious, it was still shocking after Qin Jinzhi said it.
In this way, no matter how legitimate the reason is, they will become the target of the people of the world.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of successfully capturing the Son of Heaven, but who can guarantee that this will be the case under the great war? Moreover, according to Pei Jing's observations, Qin Jin seems to be deliberately avoiding conflict with that high-ranking minister, and it seems that he also has a special attitude towards this person.
Lu Qi and Yang Xingben successively led their generals to the outside of Xingqing Palace, and after hearing Qin Jin's order from Pei Jingzhi, Yang Xingben shook his head again and again.
"Zhonglang will be confused, if you don't solve it quickly, I don't know how the situation will change!"
And Lu Qi pondered for a while before saying, "Zhonglang will this be to follow the example of Gongzi Cheng Zhao Wuling King?"
Pei Jing seemed to have a comprehension, "Do you want to use this Nannei as a Dune Palace?"
This thought made Pei Jing's body shudder, although this plan was ruthless, but the result was the least side effect.
"Look, the next step for General Nakaro will be to lure the defenders of Nannai out of Miyagi!"
……
"Saints, saints, big things are not good......"
In a daze, Li Longji was woken up, and he fell asleep shallow at dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he felt uncomfortable and weak.
The flood of bad news had numbed him, and what other bad news could surprise him?
"Tell me, what happened?"
"The Yulin Guard Brigade guarding the palace took advantage of the unpreparedness of the prime minister to go out of the city and surrender, and took hundreds of people with them...... Slave maid, slave maid saw it with her own eyes......"
Li Longji listened expressionlessly, and the eunuch had not finished speaking, and continued: "Not only did the palace guards leave, but many of the palace eunuchs in the court also secretly opened the door and slipped away. ”
"Let's go, let's go, let's go, it's good to go, it's out of sight!"
Li Longji's voice was a little sad, and his face also showed a look of indignation. When the catastrophe comes, they fly separately, and the monkeys in the yard should also flee for their lives. He was finally persuaded by Gao Xianzhi not to send out the Dao book, but felt that he would wait a little longer and wait for the change. Unexpectedly, the change that was waiting for was such depressing news.
"Where is Gao Xianzhi now?"
Li Longji wanted to know what Gao Xianzhi was feeling about now and what he would do.
Gao Xianggong was very angry and dealt with a lieutenant who tried to escape, and his people were at ease and settled down a lot. It's just that the traitor Qin Jin is really hateful, what to say is only asked about the first evil, and as long as the rest of the people go out within the time limit, they will not be blamed for the past. ”
For some reason, Li Longji stared at the eunuch steeply.
"You, don't you want to run away with them?"
The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and cried: "The slave and maid must follow the saint when they die......"
Li Longji was annoyed by crying, so he waved his hand to drive the eunuch out, but he still felt uncomfortable, and blasted out all the palace attendants in the palace, and he was the only one left in the palace, and even the sound of violent breathing could be heard clearly.
Li Longji was right, the crown prince cared about his reputation, and he didn't dare to let him out, so he resorted to such a ruthless method, isn't this not killing the king, isn't it killing the father? Doesn't he even refuse to give him the identity of the emperor or the old man who lives in seclusion? He asked himself that the request was not extravagant, why was the prince so ruthless?
After a while, Li Longji actually burst out laughing.
"The prince is very good, the prince is very good......"
In the past, Li Longji always thought that the crown prince Li Heng was too weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the world in a hundred years, but now it seems that these worries are superfluous.
……
"General Zhonglang, someone asks to see you!"
Qin Jin leaned on the Hu bed tiredly, closed his eyes to recuperate, and opened his eyes after hearing the words.
"Who wants to see you?"
"It's the eunuch of the East Palace, Li Fuguo. ”
Is it him? What good can this guy do when he comes to see him?
"Bring it in!"
Qin Jin wanted to see what the purpose of this notorious eunuch in later generations was to ask for a meeting at this time.
After Li Fuguo saw Qin Jin, he greeted him very politely for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "There is a person who will definitely want to know who he is." ”
This sentence made Qin Jin very puzzled, what did he mean that he must want to know who that person was?
Qin Jin was noncommittal, but Li Fuguo continued to say to himself: "General Zhonglang may not know that when Cheng Yuanzhen came to see the prince, he also kidnapped a person named Fan Changming, who is said to have worked as a husband in Xin'an. ”
Qin Jin frowned slightly when he heard this, this person had repeatedly targeted him in Xin'an, but didn't this guy die in the fire in the Saohe Valley? Why did he collude with Cheng Yuanzhen? It was really a strange thing.
Qin Jin's expression all fell in Li Fuguo's eyes, and he knew that this person really had a lot to do with him.
