Chapter 125: Under the Wall
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, thinking that this was another smart person like Yu Wenshi and his third brother.
But the problem is that he can't send the eldest grandson Wuji away like he did with Li Xuanba.
However, Li Shimin only thought about it for a while, and then pretended to be distressed and helpless: "Brother Renren just asked this not long ago, why are you like this, Brother Fuji?"
Renren is the word of Yuwen Shiji, and two days ago, this guy did use the same words, testing his tone.
"Didn't you say it all before? It's just a coincidence. I didn't expect that those two guys would have such elegance and turn the clouds and rain in the Dou Mansion. But the Baifang Garden in Dou Mansion and the water pavilion have a really good view—"
The eldest grandson Wuji was suspicious, stared at Li Shimin's face for a long time, and after never finding any flaws, he snorted coldly again: "Who knows if what you said is true or false? If Yang Xuan really has any ill intentions towards Guanyin, I hope that you can tell the truth." Now my eldest grandson Wuji, although he is weak, he is not unable to make that bastard regret his mistakes!"
Li Shimin was still indifferent: "Brother Auxiliary Machine, you really think too much! If Yang Xuan really has any delusions, where will it be your turn to get your old man to come forward? Brother Auxiliary Machine, you can't believe in my Li Erlang's ability?"
It's not that he doesn't trust the eldest grandson Wuji, but the fewer people who know the inside story of this matter, the better. There are too many capable people in the embroidered guards, and the means are far more than just soul searching.
As far as he knows, there are many magicians in this world who are good at illusions, and with just one look, people can obediently reveal all their secrets.
There are also some colorless and odorless potions that can make people lose their minds and confide in the truth.
The eldest grandson Wujian had Qinghua Yuanjun to suppress the gods, ban the spiritual thoughts, and embroider the clothes, but they couldn't get any clues from the eldest grandson Wujian anyway, and they were afraid of the Tang State Mansion, the prestige status of the eldest grandson and the Dou family in the court, and they would not do anything to his fiancée.
But the eldest grandson Wuji is different, once he learns the details, he is likely to become the breakthrough point of the embroidered guard.
It is likely that his future uncle has been tested by the embroidery guard without knowing it.
What's more, at this time, if the eldest grandson Wuji makes any impulsive moves, it will only make the situation even more unbearable.
- With the temperament of the eldest grandson, this may be extremely small, but it cannot be guarded against.
"You're right!"
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but bow slightly, he thought to himself that although Li Shimin was not a character who would repay him, if he really encountered this kind of thing, how could he not react?
But this has nothing to do with whether Yang Xuan is covetous or not, and even more serious his suspicion of Li Shimin.
It's just because of the so-called King Han that the situation is already miserable enough. I heard that the Son of Heaven was furious in front of the Liaodong Formation, and he had already issued a clear reprimand.
The so-called 'clear will', as the name suggests, is a will that is approved by the ruler and can be made public in the court.
- This is extremely rare in the royal family, even if the prince and the princess have any mistakes, the Son of Heaven mostly reprimands them in private. Even if he can't mention his face because of the long distance, he will only let the eunuch bring a message or a private decree.
To the point of the clear purpose, it is to give Han Wang Yang Xuan any face at all.
Of course, this is just a rumor, at this time, it has only been more than 20 days since the mobilization of the Dou Mansion, what is the reaction of the Son of Heaven in Liaodong, and where can they know now?
It can also be seen from this that Yang Xuan's situation is bad.
There is also Su Yi, who is still sick at home, and all of his official bodies have been ruthlessly deprived of all by Her Royal Highness the Queen.
His ancestor Nayan Su Wei was also terrified, and he tried to invite the bones three times in a row, but the queen did not send them. But this one has never done anything to comfort Su Wei,
It is obvious that Empress Xiao is waiting for the opinion of the Son of Heaven,
- If this is Li Shimin's revenge, this is terrible enough.
The eldest grandson Wuji never thought that this was related to his sister, in his eyes, Guanyin was innocent and kind.
The matter between Yang Xuan and Su Yi has nothing to do with Guanyin in any case.
If this incident is really caused by a conspiracy, it must be Li Shimin's handiwork.
But Li Shimin didn't show any feet from beginning to end. At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't continue to ask, and finally could only shake his head: "I hope it is as you say! But I won't forget this matter." Even if you don't say it, I have my own way to find out!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and regained his composure. He didn't take the words of the eldest grandson Wuji to heart at all, and he couldn't even find out what the embroidered guards could do, what tricks could the eldest grandson Wuji find out?
The Heavenly Family will not allow anyone to find out what is famous outside of the scandal of the Water Pavilion.
This truth, presumably soon, the eldest grandson Wuji will be able to understand. As long as this person calms down, he will understand that it is not good for them to continue to pursue this matter.
※ ※ ※ ※
Then, as Li Shimin expected, the eldest grandson Wuji disappeared for three full days after saying those words to him.
Three days later, when this person reappeared in the palace, he didn't say anything about King Han and Su Yi, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Li Shimin also fell into trouble - not for Yang Xuan, the king of Han, but for those traitors.
In the end, the embroidered guards are not incompetent, and those bad people in the capital are also proficient in detectives. If you really want to check, how can you not gain anything at all?
There is another reason why nothing has been found.
I have to say here that Father-in-law Tang's ability is not bad. After realizing that his subordinates were likely to have been infiltrated by traitors, he decisively resorted to the strategy of cultivating the secret path and secretly cultivating the warehouse. On the surface, it was a search in Luoyang with great fanfare, but secretly, a team of elite men and horses from the south was dispatched into Henan to search for clues about the case.
In just 10 days, 13 civil and military officers below the seventh rank were arrested and imprisoned, and more than a dozen people from unknown sources were rounded up and killed by the embroidered guards and the soldiers of the forbidden army.
However, the biggest change was the embroidery guard itself, 42 people escaped in one day, and more than 300 people were imprisoned pending trial on the charge of colluding with the traitor, of which seven were in the embroidery guard, at least rank more than five rank Lang general lieutenants.
At this time, an organization called the 'Nine Prisons' has gradually been revealed in front of the eyes of the princes of the court, and its scale is so large that it is jaw-dropping. It not only includes people from many sects, but also hundreds of civil and military officials.
——This is just Henan, the whole world, and I don't know how many manpower there are in these 'Nine Prisons'.
But just after the White Horse Temple rebellion case began to dawn, large-scale riots began to break out in Luoyang City. With the arrest of Zhuang Hong, dozens of arson cases occurred in Luoyang City overnight. In particular, almost a quarter of the area of Fushanfang, where merchants live, was burned to the ground. At night, the firelight of the prairie turned almost the entire night sky red.
In the following three days, the forbidden army and embroidered guards, totaling 400 people, were attacked and killed while patrolling the streets. The bodies of four bad handsomes were found in the culvert one after another.
Even Zhuang Hong, the embroidered general who was detained in the Embroidered Guard's Prison, died of poison without warning three days later. The strength and madness displayed by the 'Nine Prisons' shocked everyone. Among them, Li Shimin is also included.
He often stays in the palace these days, not just for the collection of books in the Chongwen Pavilion. In case of an encounter when he returned home, it was the reason why he chose to read at night in Chongwen Pavilion.
Li Shimin is by no means a cowardly person, but he knows the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I also know that his current identity is special, and once he encounters any accidents, it will only further deteriorate the situation in the Eastern Capital.
If it weren't for that, he would have preferred to return to his courtyard at night and assemble the ink armor rather than stay in the palace to read.
Although Li Shimin is hungry for the various classics in Chongwen Pavilion, at this time, he is still burdened with a debt of 100,000 yuan. In addition, the ink armor 'Eshan Tiger' equipped for the release of the Rakshasa is only an expedient measure.
After all, this is given by Her Royal Highness the Queen herself, and it is not like to wear it on her subordinates to worship her, and it is also disrespectful to the heavenly family.
As time passed, Li Shimin also began to worry. Although on the surface, as always, there is nothing unusual, but even Li Xuanba can see some clues.
One day, when the two of them left the palace together and returned to the Tang State Mansion, Li Xuanba shook his head and asked incomprehensibly: "How do you feel that you have been worried lately, Second Brother? Isn't it very good? Isn't it good to spend a leisurely day every day, either reading books, studying martial arts, or assembling ink armor, isn't this exactly what you dream of, Second Brother? I really don't know what you are worried about all day long?"
Li Shimin did not answer, but looked at the several houses on the side of the street that were burned to ruins.
- It was only the gatehouse of a mansion, and the damage was slight, and it is said that only two people died. But this mansion is owned by another favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, Chen Shuming, the servant of the Ministry of Judges.
Especially here, it is a Shangshanfang where many noble and high-ranking officials live, and the strict guards at night are only inferior to the imperial palace and the imperial city in the city.
It is conceivable that the riot that took place here that day shocked the dignitaries and nobles of the DPRK and China.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh slightly: "How can you not be worried about the chaos in the capital?"
"Worried about the country?"
Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Second brother, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? Is it for the so-called Nine Prisons? This is just a clown jumping off the beam, and he can only jump when Luoyang is empty now." When the Son of Heaven returns to his master, it will be easy to wipe it out!"
