The crown prince Li Xian hated to come to Junchen.

Li Chongrun's death is inseparable from Lai Junchen, if it weren't for Lai Junchen having someone secretly kill Pei Huan, there would be no impulse after Li Chongrun, and Li Chongrun would not have died. Therefore, Lai Junchen is the murderer who indirectly killed Li Chongrun.

Prime Minister Li Dan hated to come to Junchen.

Lai Junchen framed Li Dan because of Pei Bandit and Fan Yunxian, if it weren't for Feng Yuanyi's feat of disemboweling the savior, it is estimated that Li Dan is no longer in this world, how can he not hate Lai Junchen.

Princess Taiping hated Lai Junchen.

In order to bring down Ji Ji, Lai Junchen insisted on pulling Gao Jian as a scapegoat and sent Gao Jian to Lingnan. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that it is not the dog that comes to Junchen to fight, but the lover of Princess Taiping, which makes her not hate Lai Junchen.

Now if you add a Wu Sansi, with these people to deal with Lai Junchen, how can Lai Junchen have a good life?

Lai Junchen would never have thought that Lu Xiaoxian and Mr. Wang, two sworn enemies, would join forces to decide his fate because of their common interests.

It is said that impulsiveness is the devil, not to mention how much Wei Xuzhong regrets it. Because of his drunken impulsiveness, he caused Lai Junchen's newly married wife to commit suicide, which made it difficult for him to sleep.

Wei Xuzhong, who was very anxious, had no choice but to come to Lu Xiaoxian to ask for advice.

"Are you overthinking?" Lu Xiaoxian comforted Wei Xuzhong, "Maybe you didn't take it seriously at all, you have been friends for so many years, what can he do to you?" ”

"I know all too well what kind of person he is. As long as he is targeted, no one can run away. Even if he can let me go now, it's hard to guarantee that I won't go through old accounts one day. Wei Xuzhong said in fear, "Master Lu, you must help me find a way!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought for a while, and finally patted his thigh and said: "This matter started because of me, I just risked my life, and I also had to save Brother Wei's life." Let's ...... it like this."

Lu Xiaoxian lowered his voice, and Wei Xuzhong leaned closer, nodding his head as he listened.

……

It is rumored that Lai Junchen invented the simplest and most absurd method of informing: engrave the name of an official on the arrow target, and then throw a stone at a distance like a pitcher.

Some people even said that it was vivid, and two days ago, the name of Liang Wang Wu Sansi was voted by Lai Junchen.

Naturally, these words also reached Wu Sansi's ears.

If it was in the past, Wu Sansi would have laughed it off at this kind of rumor. But since the incident of beating Li Dan, Wu Sansi no longer thinks so. Li Dan is His Majesty's own son, the dignified Xiangwang, and he came to Junchen to clean up if he wanted to, and he almost took Li Dan's life.

If you want to really deal with yourself, what should you do?

Wu Sansi thought for a while, and then realized that Lai Junchen Kexin could launch a deadly attack on him at any time, but he could not do anything about him.

If you don't think about it, the more you think about it, the more dangerous it feels.

So, he found Xie Yunxuan.

Xie Yunxuan also heard the rumors in the market, and his first reaction was to know that there was an unsightly conspiracy hidden here.

The person who spread this rumor is by no means a person who has eaten enough and has nothing to do, and the point of rumor-mongering is very accurate, and he is very accurate in which aspect and what kind of rumor is created. Who this rumor is ultimately directed to, and who is going to provoke contradictions with whom, Xie Yunxuan knows very well that the intentions of the rumors are not poisonous.

However, Xie Yunxuan did not intend to break this matter, and it was beneficial for him to remove Lai Junchen. At this point, Xie Yunxuan maintained a surprisingly consistent relationship with Lu Xiaoxian and Mr. Wang.

"Whether the rumors are true or not, there must be evidence!" Xie Yunxuan deliberately sold a pass, "If you can really see the arrow target engraved with His Royal Highness's name, this matter should be inseparable!" ”

Wu Sansi nodded slightly.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

If Wu Sansi could stand from the perspective of a bystander, he would definitely think that even if such an arrow target was forged a hundred, it would not be a difficult task.

……

After the morning court on this day, after breakfast, Wu Zetian reviewed the documents in the Zichen Hall as usual, and then the chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi, the king of Liang, and more than a dozen princes and princes are waiting outside the palace for the decree, and ask to see Your Majesty immediately." ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, so many people came to find her together, and he was very surprised, and he was busy spreading the message to Jin.

Princess Taiping was on the left, Wu Sansi was on the right, followed by a large group of Li Wu's disciples, and entered the main hall, as if paying tribute to the dead, without saying a word, just lying on the ground and kowtowing. When they raised their heads, they all burst into tears, as if they had infinite grievances.

Wu Zetian owed a debt and asked strangely: "What's wrong today, why are you crying?" ”

"Mother Emperor," Princess Taiping raised her teary eyes and said, "The Mother Queen only knows that she is sitting in the deep palace and giving orders, but she doesn't know that her son and others are being framed by treacherous plotters and villains, and the future is in danger. ”

Wu Zetian's face sank: "Who dares to harm my children?" ”

Princess Taiping put away her tears, and told the story of Lai Junchen framing herself and Wu Sansi in 1510, and finally kowtowed: "Mother Emperor, there is only one purpose for the thief, that is, to harm me, my two brothers and my cousins, so that the mother queen will have no successor, and the thief wing will steal the national power because of this." ”

Wu Zetian was surprised and asked, "Is this the case?" ”

"It's true, his party Wei Xuzhong has reported this matter." Wu Sansi took two steps forward and cried.

Wu Zetian smiled and comforted Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi: "How can I rely on his family's words to trap you is equivalent to misfortune?" ”

Princess Taiping played: "It is true that the mother and queen love their children, but Junchen can conspire to disrupt the country, and the ambition of the wolf son must not be ignored and severely punished." ”

Wu Zetian looked down on this matter on the surface, but his mind was extremely thoughtful, and he asked, "Where is Wei Xuzhong?" ”

"Waiting at the palace gate." Wu Sansi hurriedly said.

"Pass him on."

The time was not long, Wei Xuzhong was brought into the main hall, and after three knocks and six bows, Wu Zetian asked bluntly: "You are the henchman of Lai Junchen, why do you want to report him?" ”

Wei Xuzhong said solemnly: "It is a matter of the safety of the princes and Princess Taiping. Although the villain is a subordinate of Lai Junchen, he can't sit idly by. Although Junchen is disloyal to his boss, I can only care about the righteousness of the court and destroy my personal righteousness. ”

Wu Zetian nodded, and Fang Chuanzhi said: "The case of the false accusation of the king of the inner history and the good press is to come to Junchen. ”

As soon as Lai Junchen was imprisoned, it was not only the military party, but also the courtiers and the people. You mention one, I mention one, and expose Lai Junchen's crimes very thoroughly, it is really "the bamboo of Nanshan Mountain, and the crime of books is endless".

Wang Jishan has always been disgusted with cool officials, and after receiving the order, he immediately wiped out Lai Junchen and his accomplices. After three pushes and six judgments, it is true that Lai Junchen and his comrades framed Zhuwu and Princess Taiping and plotted to usurp the country, and should be punished with capital punishment in accordance with the law.

Wu Zetian was not at ease, and asked Wu Sansi and Wu Yizong to interrogate him personally.

Lai Junchen trembled in front of the torture instrument he invented, and only admitted his crime of "rebellion".

A division reported to Wu Zetian and approved his execution. However, after three days of playing, it was not approved.

In the past three days, Emperor Wu didn't listen to the court, she just sat in her back study and thought about a lot of questions.

A few times, she picked up the Zhu Piyu pen and put it down again.

Just when the government and the opposition were looking forward and the courtiers were talking and anxious, Lu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry at all.

Over the years, Lai Junchen has killed countless people, although there is an element of his personal evil, but it is undeniable that most of the time he did what Wu Zetian wanted. Whether it is morally or personally, it is difficult for her to accept that Wu Zetian will execute Lai Junchen.

It's like cooking, you have to cook when the heat is up, and if you are in a hurry, you can only make it into raw rice.

……

Seeing Wu Zetian's sad face, Zhang Yizhi asked cautiously: "Has Your Majesty encountered anything troublesome?" ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Zhang Yizhi and asked casually, "Do you know what happened outside the palace?" ”

Zhang Yizhi nodded: "Everyone is waiting to dispose of the holy decree of Lai Junchen." ”

Wu Zetian sighed and said: "Lai Junchen has contributed to the country, and I am also hesitating, whether I should kill him." ”

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it so much at all!" Zhang Yizhi said to himself, "There is a lot of evidence against Lai Junchen, and the ministers are looking forward to the call for the execution of Lai Junchen." His Majesty was deceived by Lai Junchen before, and now he is to blame for executing him! ”

After listening to Zhang Yizhi's words, Wu Zetian was silent, and soon she issued the order that had been on her desk for three whole days.

There is no need to ask, what Zhang Yizhi said was taught to him by Lu Xiaoxian.

Wu Zetian protected Lai Junchen, and it was impossible not to be disgusted by the ministers. She can pretend to be "blinded to the Holy Hearing", which is a common occurrence in ancient times, and the emperors of all dynasties and dynasties will be blinded, not just her Wu Zetian. Therefore, Wu Zetian seems to be justified.

But, after all, there is a limit. Once there are more people who denounce him, and Wu Zetian wants to protect him, others will suspect that Wu Zetian is deliberate, which will backfire. Therefore, Wu Zetian finally executed Lai Junchen.

To put it bluntly, Lai Junchen has been just a pawn of Wu Zetian from beginning to end, and it is not worth it to offend so many courtiers for just one Lai Junchen. What's more, there are so many people from the Li Tang clan and the Wu clan among them.

Wu Zetian will behead Junchen in the downtown and display his corpse to the public. The people, young and old, hated him and rushed to cut his flesh, and soon there was nothing left of his flesh.

After the death of Lai Junchen, in Luoyang City, the sound of firecrackers was endless for several days, like the New Year's Festival. Empress Wu Zetian, who lived in the palace, was puzzled and asked: "The sound of firecrackers is endless, what is the joy of the people?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "The people are happy to come to Junchen's death!" ”

Wu Zetian didn't squeak for a long time after listening to it. Lai Junchen has harmed countless people, although he was spurned by the people, but after all, it was her Wu Zetian who entrusted Lai Junchen with important responsibilities.

……

Time has entered the autumn of the fourth year of Chang'an, and the weather is slowly becoming cold.
