125. Life
When Ouyang Shaoxian stood on the city wall and roof, he was not only watching the battle, but also secretly instructing, because during the fight at the city gate, all the guards guarding Lu Haowen died, and several later guards replaced them.
There is no problem, they are Ouyang Shaoxian's people, obey his instructions, release the enemy, and lure the enemy......
Wang Xiangya shook her head: "I don't know this, Ouyang Shaoxian didn't say it, and I didn't ask!" His work, if he doesn't take the initiative to say, who dares to ask: "Don't think about it so much, let's go into the palace to see the enthusiasm!" ”
Ouyang Yechen took the guards to say goodbye quickly, and the troubled pomp suddenly became quiet, and a team of guards pulled several carts, sorting out the corpses back and forth.
On the roof, a slender figure stood in the moonlight against the wind, his clothes fluttering, and the ink silk was lightly, it was obviously Ouyang Shaoxian, his deep, restrained eyes flashed with a sharp light like black stone, as if he had already seen everything!
The main thing is that Ouyang Yechen entered the palace, didn't care about the order to arrange Wang Xiangya and Gu Chichi's residence, escorted the black-clothed man who was caught, and went straight to the imperial study.
As if he had known that Ouyang Yechen and the others would come, the lights were on in the imperial study, and a figure holding a pen and writing was projected onto the window by candlelight.
Seeing Ouyang Yechen escorting people coming, the eunuch guarding outside the door hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has caught a few suspicious people!" ”
The house put down the pen in his hand: "Let them in!" The voice was low, not angry.
The door opened, Ouyang Yechen and the guards of the man in black walked in, Gu Chichi and Wang Xiangya also followed in a low-key manner, standing in an inconspicuous corner, watching the emperor pass by.
The little black-clothed minions didn't care about the mistakes, there were three people who pretended to be civilians, plus a head, a total of four, and the face scarf on his face had already been torn off, revealing his true face.
The minister he reused was actually a rebel, and the emperor's eyes were filled with deep indignation: "Why do you want to defect to me, have I treated you badly?" "Whether it was many years ago, or in the past three years, the emperor has never been mean to the ministers, why did they defect?
"Your Majesty, you have never treated us badly, it's just that we have received the favor of the King of Suijin, and we have the handle to grasp it in his hands, so we have to rebel......" A minister sighed helplessly, Gu Chi remembered him, he was a festival envoy, and his official position was acceptable.
The Emperor turned his gaze to the other three: "What about you, the same?" "I thought that the ministers would quibble, but who would have thought that they would admit the crime so quickly.
"Yes!" The other three also lowered their heads, the mutiny list was in Lu Haowen's hands, and they assassinated Lu Haowen in front, and the human and material evidence was there, and they couldn't be cunning.
Gu Chichi's gaze swept lightly over the four of them, thinking about the relationships between the court and the central government, the four of them, two of them are Ye Guifei's forces, and the two are the prince's forces, they were originally incompatible, but they didn't expect to be involved in the mutiny, and they were actually their own family.
The emperor smiled coldly: "The king of Suijin is indeed more capable of controlling people than me, I am careful to convince people with virtue, and rule the world with benevolence, but I have never thought that some people's loyalty needs to be controlled by profit and handle...... "My kindness and kindness to them have become the source of their rebellion, and they are willing to follow a tyrant and are not loyal to themselves, how funny."
"Do you know how the crime of mutiny is judged?" The emperor's voice was extremely cold, and he was about to change his policy of governing the country.
"Beheaded!" A minister thought little and said suddenly, he was in charge of the punishment, but he didn't expect that one day, he would actually use this punishment on himself.
The emperor glanced at the four of them coldly: "Regarding the rebellious army, it used to be beheaded, but now I have changed my mind, Ling Chi is correcting the law, and the whole family will be buried together!" "Let everyone see the end of the mutiny, lest they be reborn because of their benevolence and virtue!
The four of them glanced at each other, did not speak, their bodies trembled slightly, Ling Chi's punishment was very cruel, from execution to death, there would be a lot of pain in history, no one was afraid, but the mutiny list was here, and it was not only a few of them who died, but many companions were tortured together, how bold people were, and there was no need to be afraid.
After handling the punishment of the four mutineers, the emperor turned his gaze to Lu Haowen, looked at the big piece of paper in his hand, and said coldly: "Why didn't you submit the mutiny list earlier?" Do you know how much time you've been delayed? This is the capital punishment of killing the head......"
Gu Chichi sighed heavily, his eyes flashed with anxiety and helplessness: Ouyang Shaoxian is right, even if Lu Haowen hands over the list to the emperor, there will be no good situation......
"Your Majesty, actually, the grass people ......" Lu Haowen was not frightened by the emperor's words, smiled bitterly, stopped talking, and presented a large piece of paper with both hands: "Your Majesty, you may see it yourself!" ”
The eunuch presented the large paper to the emperor, the emperor took it, opened it and looked at it, his eyes were shocked, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "This is the list of mutinies?" ”
Lu Haowen lowered his head: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the list of mutinies that people have heard of." ”
The emperor slapped the table, and the mutiny list was shaken to the ground: "What the hell is going on?" "The list is written face down, and people can't see what is on it.
"Back to the emperor, the grass people don't know what is going on after all?" Lu Haowen's tired eyes flashed with deep helplessness: "The work has to start from more than half a month ago, one night, the grass people were invited to visit an official's house, he also likes poetry, the two of us drink on one wall, compose poems on the other, I went back very late, at that time, we made a lot of poems, full of a large piece of paper, he joked that let me keep a souvenir, I also drank too much, so he went with his wishes, took the paper and left." ”
"But I don't know why, the next morning, the official got a strange disease, died violently, since then, the grass people always found a little strange people around the grass people, at first, the grass people did not pay attention, until the night of the fireworks festival, the grass people went to the street to watch the fireworks, not long after the door, there were people chasing and killing the grass people, fortunately there are a few guards old to help, the grass people turned the corner......
Gu Chichi nodded inquiringly: On the day of the Fireworks Festival, the time when he and Ouyang Shaoxian rescued Lu Haowen was the aggravation of this conspiracy, he didn't tell himself and Ouyang Shaoxian, because he didn't want to burden us.
"Later, the list of rebels in the hands of the grass people suddenly spread, and more and more people chased and killed the grass people at night, and the grass people did not dare to come forward again, and in desperation, they hid in the city defense......" Lu Haowen's voice became lower and lower, and became more and more tired.
Gu Chi Chi can imagine that he is a weak ink man, how difficult it is to escape the rampant assassination of the killers again and again, how difficult it is, when the night light falls, he will have a horrific rampant killing in history, always looking forward to the dawn, for him, this is a painful torment, he can't sleep at night, he doesn't know the taste of food, he doesn't dare to walk around the street, he can only be like a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, hiding in a dark corner, licking his wounds alone, this kind of taste is absolutely unpleasant.
Gu Chichi quietly looked at Ouyang Yechen, the prince took Lu Haowen to decompose the various ministers in the court, and the officials who died violently must have been explained by the prince to Lu Haowen to decompose, not so much that this work was a misunderstanding, but that it was a conspiracy that the prince had planted a long time ago.
Lu Haowen made friends with all the ministers of the DPRK and China, there were loyal ministers, traitors, and rebels, Lu Haowen had a heart-to-heart relationship with an official at midnight, took something and left, and the official died violently at home, but he thought there was a problem.
At this time, Ouyang Yechen ordered people to spread bad words again, saying that Lu Haowen had a list of rebels in his hand, and those rebels would definitely panic, of course, they were also clever, and they expected that it was about the emperor who was in the old place, and at the same time as if nothing happened, he quietly groped for Lu Haowen.
As they expected, Lu Haowen's side seemed to be quiet, but in fact, someone was secretly guarding him, and Lu Haowen repeatedly insisted on not taking the list, which made the rebels even more suspicious, and they did not hesitate to send more people to death.
But to their surprise, Lu Haowen disappeared, and they were afraid that the list would be revealed, so they intensified their plots, so that several former rebel leaders were introduced!
As for Ouyang Yechen, it should be just a cover to bring out the rebels, and the bigger thing is that he found out that the people of Ye Guifei's faction were related to the rebels and wanted to take the opportunity to remove them, but unexpectedly, there were also rebels on his own side......
What, this is not a list of rebels? The four of them were dumbfounded, what is this? The work is not good, it can be so ironic, what they are trying to win is actually Zhang Yu's poems that are not beneficial.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is all nonsense, don't be serious, the minister is loyal to you, the sun and the moon can be learned......" A minister feedback, begging hard, did not catch the rest of the rebels, not the current few people died, unfair, unfair!
"Yes, the emperor, the ministers are dreaming, don't take the dream talk of the right talent seriously...... "Spend a lot of energy, material resources, and characters, in the end, it is a list, and it is not worth taking the lives of your own family!"
The emperor snorted coldly: "That's not what you said, the performance of sacrificing one's life for martyrdom, I admire it very much, come here, pass the order, know noon, and let them and their families, Ling Chi rectify the law, and let the people of the whole city come to watch!" "This is the first time he has used such a vicious punishment, but it will not be the last.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your ...... Grievances" In the ghost crying wolf howl of the four, the guards quickly dragged it down.
The emperor looked sideways at Lu Haowen: "Lu Haowen, if you catch the rebels, although you have merit, but you also caused chaos in the capital because of your pseudonym and innocence, the merits and demerits are offset, no reward or punishment, do you have any words?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the grass people have no words!" Lu Haowen was already very satisfied, retreated to the wall, and his nerves, which had been tense for more than ten days, instantly relaxed, and a sincere smile finally appeared on his tired face: "Eldest princess, I can go to the private school the next day!" "It's definitely nice to be able to walk in the sun.
Gu Chichi smiled lightly: "Congratulations to Master Lu!" A trace of sorrow rose in his heart, after this incident, if the prince didn't ask Lu Haowen anything, he was afraid that his road in the official career would be very difficult!
"Thank you, Princess!" Lu Haowen smiled brightly, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Xiangya is here too?" The emperor was about to let everyone go down, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Xiangya in the corner.
Wang Xiangya smiled and said disapprerovitically: "My colleagues and I met the prince's brother on the road, and he was afraid that something would happen to us, so he took us into the palace together!" ”
"Xiangya also has colleagues?" The emperor suddenly felt curious, for a long time, Wang Xiangya's posture is an anomaly, she hates all those who are prettier than her, better than her, and can make her regard her as a colleague, isn't it more unusual than her.
"Of course, people always have colleagues, and Xiangya is no exception!" Stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Chichi's arm, and pulled forward: "This is my good colleague, Gu Chichi!" ”
The emperor's gaze turned from Wang Xiangya to Gu Chichi's bright face, and a thick shock flashed in his eyes: "You are Gu Chichi?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers Gu Chichi!" When the emperor saw himself, he and the queen mother had the same expression when they saw themselves, shocking!
"You are the daughter of the loyal and brave Marquis Gu Xiu!" This sentence is not a question, but an affirmation, and he looked at Gu Chichi without blinking.
"Yes, Your Majesty, my father Gu Xiu!"
