After that, the extremely weak Li Shimin hurriedly convened everyone to discuss the matter, and everyone was also cold-faced, and even Wei Chigong was still suspicious of Xu Maogong's original motives.
Speaking of which, Zhang Liang should not have been allowed to do such an important thing in the first place, Xu Maogong is neither yin nor yang all day long, and he is closest to the emperor, it is difficult to say that it is not for the prince, join forces, and set up a trap for King Qin.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, Duke Mao is not this kind of villain, or the prince deliberately makes things difficult. However, there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, I am afraid that the prince Qi Wang will be coerced and tempted, and the iron-blooded man will be forced to be stupid by them. In this way, the people of the world will first go to the palace to face the saint and ask for a pardon, and I will go to the East Palace to check what is going on. Yuan Ziyan said.
"No, Ziyan, your stealth is invalid, only a moment's effort, in case it is exposed, the consequences are unimaginable." Li Shimin said worriedly.
"Don't delay any longer, Zhang Liang and they should be escorted to Chang'an soon, and if they are late, there will be more dangers." Yuan Ziyan said hurriedly.
"Ziyan, what are we going to do?" Wei Chigong asked in a loud voice behind him.
Yuan Ziyan didn't answer, while Li Shimin said calmly: "If there is an accident, we will flee to Luoyang for refuge." ”
Be! Everyone was excited, looking forward to the early arrival of this moment, in fact, after beating Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, they should have stayed there, and they should not have returned to Chang'an to be a Tiance general, just a false name.
At this time, Zhang Liang was also secretly escorted back to Beijing, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he couldn't let him be so comfortable like an uncle, stuffing a rag in his mouth and not making too much noise.
The palace gate guards all knew that this was the person the prince wanted, who would stop it and let him go smoothly. In addition, the palace rules were not strict at this time, and the carriages and horses of several big men could go with them at will, and they soon drove into the East Palace, and then closed the gate, and many people did not notice that an unlucky egg had been sent here.
Li Shimin hurried slowly, but he was still one step late, and Li Yuan was taking a lunch break. Recently, I have contracted some wind chills. No one dared to disturb, and Li Shimin walked around anxiously outside the hall.
It happened that Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu were serving the emperor inside and fell asleep and then withdrew, and saw Li Shimin waiting outside. Sneering again and again, Concubine Yin De deliberately said loudly to the eunuch and palace maid: "Your Majesty, no one is allowed to disturb it." ”
Li Shimin stepped forward and said, "Concubine De Niangniang." Please also be accommodating, the people of the world have important things to tell. ”
"It's a big deal, but it's not as good as Your Majesty's health." Zhang Jieyu said first. still remembers that Li Shimin refuted her old enmity in public, and mocked: "King Qin is re-enacted, and he doesn't know how to leave a little affection, and we are speechless to refute it." Why do you want to break the rules today? ”
"Two mothers, it is indeed a big matter of 100,000 urgency, if it is because of your delay. No one can afford to be held responsible. Yuan Ziyan stepped forward and said.
"The girl said very much, then we are not here. Go back to your palaces. Leave. Concubine Yin Defei bowed slightly, and then left with the arrogant Zhang Jieyu, just toss it, anyway, it has already fulfilled the obligation to inform.
Li Shimin was really a little embarrassed, and he made countless friends, but he never showed favor to the women in the palace, which led to the critical moment, and he didn't know who to ask for help for a while.
"I'm not as good as Yuan Ji in this regard, and there are not a few people in the court who speak for him." Li Shimin said with some annoyance.
"Why don't you go to Wan Guifei and try it?" Yuan Ziyan asked.
"No, the place where Concubine Wan lives is far away from here, and today is the first day of the new year, so it must be eating fasting and reciting Buddha as usual, and if you don't go out, it's in vain to go." Li Shimin frowned.
"Shimin, why don't you go in and wake up Your Majesty?" Yuan Ziyan blinked, wanting to use invisibility to make Li Yuan wake up, and learned that there was someone waiting outside the door.
"My father doesn't like to be disturbed when he sleeps......"
"Do you just say yes or no?" Yuan Ziyan interrupted Li Shimin's words and tilted his head and asked.
"Naturally, it's a good idea as a last resort."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, and as soon as the words fell, Yuan Ziyan spun rapidly in place, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a small hand pinched Li Shimin's face, and then entered it like a gust of wind.
How dare you, flirtatious, this king?
Li Shimin touched his cheeks, which were still fragrant, and couldn't cry or laugh. At this time, a eunuch came over with two bowls of tea and smiled, "Your Majesty still has to sleep for at least half an hour, and invite King Qin and Purple Smoke Girl, hey, what about Purple Smoke Girl?" ”
The eunuch opened his eyes wide and searched everywhere, and he saw her when he came over just now, why did he disappear for so long?
"Oh, Ziyan has something to do temporarily, so I'm going back." Li Shimin said quietly.
"Going back?" The eunuch's mind was confused, he had just come from the way he came, and he didn't see her.
"Father-in-law Liu, serving his father all day long, is very hard." Li Shimin took his attention away.
Gonggong Liu immediately smiled like a flower on his face, "I used to do chores in the palace, Your Majesty saw that I stayed by my side neatly, and today I can be praised by King Qin for two sentences, it is really a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life." ”
And Zhang Liang was also taken to a private hall at this time, and the surroundings were very quiet, which should be a secluded place in the East Palace.
Immediately, Zhang Liang was tied to a chair, and the blindfold and the rags in his mouth were removed, but he found that this was a small torture room, but all kinds of torture instruments were available. The large knife covered with blood-colored rust is to be slashed on the head, and it can be cut at once.
And the ropes that were as stiff as steel, how many souls had been strangled, the red charcoal furnace, and the gloomy iron hooks......
Squeak~
Ahh Zhang Liang shouted in a straight voice, his face was pale and bloodless, and at this time he suddenly understood a truth, there is no torture instrument more terrible than a person. Because when they came in, these things only made people feel terrified, and when they heard the door and knew that someone was coming, they were so frightened that they screamed.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji came in one after another, with more than a dozen guards behind them, as well as two clerks, who were in charge of recording, and sure enough, they wanted to get something out of his mouth.
Zhang Liang smiled on his face and said politely: "Being tied, it is inconvenient to salute the two of you, don't blame, don't blame." ”
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, sat down on the desk opposite, and Li Yuanji stood beside him, and spoke first: "Zhang Liang, hurry up, what did you do in Luoyang?" ”
"Hehe, King Qi is laughing, didn't Luoyang reward King Qin, I stayed in Jingshi and had nothing to do, so I was put there, saying that it was a bit of an experience."
Bang, Li Yuanji threw a booklet in front of Zhang Liang, there were still pictures and truths, time, place, and characters, who Zhang Liang was with, including what meals he ate, were clearly depicted, and even how much money was spent on each meal and entertainment was recorded in detail.
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect that the surveillance of King Qin by the prince and his party had reached such a point.
"Zhang Liang, you spent a lot of money in Luoyang, in less than two months, you have already spent more than 10,000 taels of silver, presumably you can't take out so much money yourself, right?" Li Yuanji asked.
"How can there be so many, there are still courtesies, there are invitations and returns, at most it is only one percent of the number you said." Zhang Liang argued.
"How much do you earn every month, there is no reward for your insuccess, and you spend hundreds of taels of silver every month, which is beyond the reach of the prince."
"I, I used to have savings at home."
"You were born in hardship, how can you talk about your family background?"
Zhang Liang was deflated, it turned out that the other party had already found out clearly, and it was futile to continue, so he became stubborn and asked: "Prince, King Qi, what I did in Luoyang was right or wrong, good or bad, it should be King Qin, what do you want to know?" ”
"The conspiracy of the Qin Palace." Li Jiancheng, who had not spoken, said coldly.
Zhang Liang struck a spirit, couldn't help but look at the sky outside the window, and hoped that King Qin would find this place quickly.
"Don't look at it, this place is very hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the East Palace, let alone find a dead person here?" Li Yuanji first threatened, and then said: "Zhang Liang, as long as you can explain truthfully, your benefits will be indispensable in the future." Your money is just a passing hand, doing things for others, but if you are appreciated by the prince, glory and wealth are absolutely indispensable. ”
"King Qi, I'm really just going to take office. If you don't believe me, you can ask Pei Ju, he was sent by the King of Qin to supervise me, or you can also ask the King of Qin. Zhang Liang said idly.
Li Jiancheng became a little impatient, and if he continued to ask like this, he was surrounded by him, and commanded in a low voice: "Yuanji, stop talking nonsense, and use torture directly." ”
Li Yuanji nodded, and then a whip soaked in sewage was raised, "Hey, hey, how can you set up a private torture hall and torture the officials of the court to extract confessions." I want to see King Qin, oops, it hurts me to death! ”
Zhang Liang's screams spread far away, but the palace was too big, no one heard it at all, the whip was unceremoniously whipped on his body, the basin of sewage must have been salted, and Zhang Liang's forehead was sweating and his body trembled.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji finally showed a smug smile, and it won't be long before this soft bone will be recruited. However, Zhang Liang is not stupid, and he is timid compared to these tough guys, and after a few whips, his skin and flesh are open, which also stimulates his anger.
"Crown prince, King Qi, you want to use me to frame King Qin, which is a capital crime in itself. If you let me out and send me back to Luoyang, this matter will be over, otherwise, King Qin will definitely make decisions for me! Zhang Liang said angrily.
"Of course he's coming to save you, but not for you, but for the dirt in your head." Li Yuanji waved his hand and ordered with a cold face: "Keep fighting, fight to the death!" ”
Smack! The whip sound was loud, Zhang Liang had never suffered from this kind of flesh and skin, and after a hundred and ten strokes, he fainted to death. In his dreams, Pei Ju was persuading him, don't say it, otherwise he will still die. Zhang Liang said with a sad face, Lao Tzu has been injured, so he can't suffer in vain, and he can't reveal any secrets if he says anything! (To be continued)
