Chapter 660: The prince died tragically
One has the intention to invite you into the urn, and the other has no intention of rushing to the battle, and the outcome can be imagined.
Before the Xue Jiajun could reach the Xuanwu Gate, they were stopped by the men and horses who had been ambushed by Gao Lishi in advance.
"We just want to go to the father-emperor theory, there is no intention of mutiny. The prince defended himself after disarming and surrendering.
When the prince and the others came, they wore armor and helmets, with swords hanging from their waists, and said that they didn't want to start a mutiny, which was like a man and a woman being caught and raped in bed and quibbled: "We are covered with a big quilt and chatting." ”
No one believed the prince's words, and under the fan of Li Linfu and other well-intentioned people, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji did not hesitate to put the prince and others in prison.
The crown prince Li Ying couldn't keep the crown prince now, Zhang Jiuling was deposed, lost the protection of the powerful prime minister, and the life crisis of the crown prince Li Ying appeared. On the same day, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji urgently convened his ministers to discuss the matter of abolishing the crown prince.
The prince's mutiny is something that everyone can see, and without the insistence of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing, no one dares to say a 'no'.
There was no approval, no one sent it right, and the scene was a little awkward.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Tang Xuanzong asked with a gloomy face.
Everyone didn't move, only Li Linfu, who had always been diligent in helping Tang Xuanzong Li Longji solve problems, stood up.
He first saluted respectfully and said, "Abolishing the prince or not is a holy family matter, not the ministers should intervene." ”
Tang Xuanzong liked to hear this, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"What Aiqing said is reasonable. ”
As soon as Li Linfu said this, the ministers only had the share of seconding it, and no one dared to say anything against it, and whoever opposed it would definitely be labeled as interfering in the internal affairs of the royal family, which was not a fun thing.
In the case of unanimous vote, Tang Xuanzong made up his mind to abolish the crown prince, the king of light, and the king of Hubei as concubines, and give Xue Qian and Xue Rust to hang.
The crown prince, the king of light, and the king of E did not return to the people after they were demoted to commoners, and they were picked up by a group of unknown people as soon as they came out of the water prison.
Hearing the report of the prison warden, Tang Xuanzong's heart was uncertain.
"What is the attitude of the people who came to pick up the prince towards them?" Tang Xuanzong asked.
"Very respectful and treat them like masters. The prison warden replied cautiously.
"Could it be that the prince still wants to make a comeback?" Tang Xuanzong muttered to himself.
As soon as the prison chief left, Tang Xuanzong shouted: "Gao Lishi--- Gao Lishi ----."
"Coming--- coming---- "Colliers trotted all the way into the study.
"Quickly send someone to find Li Ying and the others, and kill them on the spot after finding them. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji wrote these words on the bookcase.
The water dried up, Gao Lishi was shocked, and said secretly: "It seems that this matter can only be operated secretly, not explicitly." ”
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji saw that Gao Lishi was silent for a long time and didn't speak, and asked, "But there are difficulties?"
The emperor doesn't need useless people, and after years of getting along, Gao Lishi replied reflexively: "No, no, I'm just thinking about how to check." ”
"Go down, you just need to report the results to me, process, you can do it cheaply. ”
When Tang Xuanzong gave the order, the crown prince, King Guang and King E were eating and drinking in a private house, making up for the debts of many days.
"That water prison is really not a place for people, and it almost killed Lao Tzu. King E said as he took a bite of the hot beef.
"Fortunately, my father was wise and left us a way to live, and secretly sent someone to bring us here to eat and drink. King Guang said gratefully.
"Fart, we are his sons, no matter how much we toss, we are also his sons, he can still kill us. King E said unconvinced.
The King of Light and the King of E chatted while eating, and only the prince pondered with a gloomy face.
"Brother Prince, what do you want?" King Light asked after eating for a while.
"I always felt that something was wrong, these people who served us didn't look like people from the palace. Prince Li Ying said.
These are indeed not people from the palace, nor are they people sent by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, but the last supper arranged for them by Concubine Wu Hui. In order to borrow the hand of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Following the clues deliberately left by Concubine Wu Hui, the people sent by Gao Lishi quickly found the prince and others.
Seeing the prince in brocade clothes and clothes, eating and drinking the sea, the king of E and the king of light, it was difficult for Gao Lishi to believe that the prince still had a back hand.
"Secretly imprison these people and starve them for two days. Gao Lishi said coldly with a gloomy face.
"We are princes, you can't abuse us like this. The king shouted.
"Prince, you are now commoners, according to the laws of the imperial court, civilians are not allowed to wear silk and satin, big fish and meat, and prostitutes, you have just broken the rules and regulations as soon as you get out of the cell, what else can you say? ”
At the sound of the order, a wall more than three people high was erected on the outside of the house.
"Are we going to starve to death here?" King Guang said with a sad face.
"No, my father will send someone to bring us food. King E said optimistically.
"There are so many people here, they can't starve us to death. The prince said gloomily as he stared at the group of people outside the window.
Unfortunately, they were all too optimistic, and after an hour, the people in the courtyard disappeared out of thin air.
"There must be a secret passage in this courtyard, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared so quickly. King E's mood soared all of a sudden.
The crown prince and the king of light also saw the hope of life, and the three of them rummaged in the courtyard and room.
After looking for a while, the whole yard suddenly burst into flames.
"Help----
"Help-----
"Help-----
Cries for help drowned out within the three-person high fence, and no one could hear or see what was happening in the courtyard.
Ten days later, Colliers sent someone to tear down the wall and walked in, expecting to see a tragic scene of starvation, but he didn't expect it to be a scene after a fire.
"I didn't expect the three princes to be so fierce that they committed suicide in fear of sin. Colliers put the matter to a decisive conclusion.
The news of the prince's suicide was soon reported to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
"Idiot---- idiot!" Tang Xuanzong Li Longji wept and sighed.
"Mom, how much do you say the emperor's tears are true and how fake?" Su Tong said with a little feeling.
"Removing the political factor, his sadness now is real. I said.
In fact, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji regretted a little after killing the crown prince Li Ying, after all, it was his own son, and he killed his son without a detailed investigation, and he had a knot in his heart and a doubt about his own methods. This suspicion made him set his sights on Concubine Wu Hui.
