0057 What a difficult fate
After figuring out the logic of this, Li Tong's mood became heavier. Fortunately, he controlled the Xu family before, and then he was generous and tolerant, and they were more closely connected with each other, which led to the scene of the Xu family reporting the news at the moment.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know how to die, and he would be a fool under the Yellow Spring!
"Xu Dian preached this righteous letter this time, and kept the righteousness engraved in his heart, after getting rid of misfortune in the coming year, if there is no good reward, heaven will not tolerate it!"
Li Tong Zhengse saluted to Xu's crossed hands, and at the moment he really had no other way to express it, but to bow to others to show his gratitude.
Xu's skirt retreated, and his face was not lacking in embarrassment: "How dare a concubine, a concubine...... If it weren't for the king's graceful tolerance, the concubine didn't know whether her life was safe or not, and she only hoped that the king would release my old inferiority...... Only now, or how should we deal with the murderer, I don't know if the king has a good plan? β
As she spoke, she looked at King Yong'an with anticipation.
Xu's mind is not simple. Now that she is tied to the life of King Yong'an's family, there is no room for rebellion. Although the power of Qiu Shenqi is high, it is only in the outer court, and King Yong'an's control over her still exists. Even if she obeys the orders of the Qiu Shenqi, what she gets is nothing more than a reward for profit, and if her life is gone, she can't buy it with any amount of money, and the cave Buddha can't bless her.
And for King Yong'an's drastic methods, Xu also has a deep memory and no lack of confidence. The situation of King Yong's family has improved, the three kings have enrolled in school, and the Ciwutai of the late prince is also about to be built.
Looking at Xu's expectant eyes, Li Tong's face gradually calmed down, but his mood was a little heavier. This time, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
Qiu Shenxian, as the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, is the real general of the army, how can he be the same as a forbidden female official like the Xu family?
The personnel of the outer court are complicated, and through Zhong Shaojing's incident, Li Tong has already deeply realized that he has just given birth to a little bit of forcing him to retreat in the face of difficulties, and he doesn't want to turn his head and face the big threat of life and death to Qiu Shenxian.
Although the current situation of their family has improved slightly, it seems to have some effect in the eyes of his grandmother, but this little use is better than nothing, and it can never be compared with the current Qiu Shenqi.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister has always had the tradition of going out and entering the prime minister, and the rebellion of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was different from the border troubles, and the mobilized troops were directly the inland states, and you must know that Yuzhou was next door to Luoyang.
The water passed over the wet ground, and the prime minister led the troops to quell the rebellion, who knows if they had reached any tacit understanding with the Nanya soldiers? At present, Wu Zetian seems to be killing all sides, but in fact, the situation is already quite dangerous.
Although Qiu Shenyun was born in Li Tang's meritorious family for founding the country, this old boy did not learn well, and he was only ordered to go to Bazhou to force Li Xian to kill, so he could be regarded as Wu Zetian's iron porcelain supporter. At present, it is an important chess piece used by Wu Zetian to control the soldiers of the Southern Government and balance the prime ministers.
On the one hand, it is the weight of life, on the other hand, it is better than nothing, and they can't coexist with each other.
In the face of such a terrible opponent, the reason why Li Tong was not completely desperate was that he knew that although Qiu Shenqian was powerful for a while, he could not gain Wu Zetian's complete trust after all.
Wu Zetian has a fanatical desire to control power, the heavier Qiu Shenxian's authority, the more dangerous it is, in fact, it is true that not long after the reform in the first year of Tianzhu, Qiu Shenqian was taken by Wu Zetian!
But the problem is that at the moment, Wu Zetian still needs Qiu Shenqian and the prime minister to restrain each other. But if because of the existence of Li Tong's family, Qiu Shenyun has a kind of nervous self-doubt, which is also what Wu Zetian does not want to see, sacrificing one or two dispensable grandsons to ensure that Qiu Shenyun is controllable at the moment, it is very worthwhile.
If this logic is true, Li Tong will be able to understand what happened to their family in the original history: during the Heavenly Grant period, Li Guangshun was whipped to death by the torturers, and although Li Shouli was also tortured, because of his heir, he was still protected by Wu Zetian and left a pulse of incense for Li Xian. It was also at this time that the opportunity to get rid of Qiu Shenqian came, and his hand was raised.
Regarding his own life, Li Tong didn't dare to excuse his grandmother with wishful thinking, but he did feel that this turmoil during the Heavenly Grant period should not be Wu Zetian to eradicate their family, otherwise there was no reason for his grandson to be killed, but his daughter-in-law survived.
It must be known that Li Dan's wife even died and had no place to be buried, so that after their father and son took power, they could not visit the corpse, so they could only summon souls for burial. Blood relationship can no longer prevent Wu Zetian from killing him, let alone non-blood relationship.
Concubine Fang and Zhang Liangyuan were able to survive the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and even live to the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it should be because Wu Zetian was indifferent to their family, and their family did not have the qualifications and energy to threaten the authority of the Wu family.
The level is different, the mentality is different. All affairs seek to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, what is the dispute between Li and Wu in the Wu Zhou Dynasty? It was not only the Li family who was tormented by Wu Zetian and died, but Wu Chenghei also had a handful of snot and tears a few years ago.
Now Qiu Shenyun is full of malice towards their family, and he has a clear attitude to put them to death, for Li Tong, it is really a critical moment to fight for a long life, just to see who can't survive first.
Seeing Xu's eyes full of anticipation, Li Tong was also a little embarrassed for a while, it was not that he had no way to face Qiu Shenqi, and there was more than one. But these ideas are also the tragedy of putting oneself to death and dying with the enemy. Even if he brings down Qiu Shenxian, he will definitely not end well!
"I remember it. The thief eats blood and fat, rapes and invites pets, and now he is even more arrogant, voyeuristic and forbidden, and his death will not be long away, and justice must be expected! β
Although his heart was still full of a sense of crisis, Li Tong still slowed down his tone and said to Xu Shi in a calm manner: "Right now, Master Xue is visiting the courtyard, and I have to return to receive it in a hurry, and it is difficult to explain carefully for a while. Xu Dian doesn't have to take this as a big trouble, and after he returns, he will keep the case straight and don't give the thief room to open his teeth! β
"Master Xue? Yes, is it Master Huaiyi? He, he went to Renzhiin...... Yes, the Queen Mother misses the first king, and Master Xue is here, and she must be affectionate! Congratulations to the king, alas, concubines, concubines are really ...... Please forgive me! β
When Xu Shi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the haze on his original face was suddenly swept away, so that he was a little incoherent with excitement. Inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, who doesn't know the intimate relationship between Xue Huaiyi and His Majesty the Divine Emperor? Now that he has personally visited Ninchi-in-in, it can only be at the behest of the God Emperor!
Seeing Xu's surprise gaffe, Li Tong was also in a complicated mood for a while. Wu Zhou Dynasty is a lot of demons, no matter what he thinks of Xue Huaiyi in his heart, but his appearance at this time is indeed a lot of comfort for him and the people around him.
At present, he is still in a passive situation, even if he knows that Qiu Shenqian is full of malice towards his family, but before the other party really makes a move, there is actually not much way to take the initiative. Therefore, for the time being, I can only borrow Xue Huaiyi's name a little, at least appease the Xu family, and ensure that my side will not catch fire in the backyard.
"The king, please return quickly, return quickly, it's not good to snub Master Xue, don't wait for a long time!"
Although he didn't hear any specific plans from King Yong'an's mouth, Xu's mood was completely different at this time, and he stepped forward and raised his hand to send it away and smiled again: "Although the concubine is a woman, there is no lack of gratitude and righteousness. Please rest assured, there will be no gossip from me! Although the thief is rampant, it is difficult to open his eyes, he is a palace person, and it is also a big crime, the concubine inquired carefully, and kept it to help the king punish the traitor! β
"It's still prudent to protect yourself, the day the thief is headed, it's the time for my family to pay the masses justice!"
Li Tong still wanted to give a few more words of advice, but thinking that the Xu family had been making a living in the forbidden area for more than ten years, since he was vigilant in his heart, he didn't need to give more orders.
So he nodded to Xu again, and then beckoned the silent Li Shouli to go to the waiting place for Zheng Jin and the others.
"Xun, Saburo, I will study and enjoy music seriously, and wait for the emperor to invite pets!"
After walking a few steps, Li Shouli suddenly spoke, and his expression was rare solemn and serious.
After Li Tong heard this, he glanced at him sideways, then nodded, and patted the shoulder of this brother who was usually out of tune.
He often laughs at himself in his heart, and he often laughs at his pig teammates, and he actually has a lot of resentment towards his second brother Li Shouli, who can't help with all the big and small affairs and has to guard against trouble. This kid has no heart and lungs, and he doesn't seem to have any concept of crisis, and he is still very relieved to be able to say such things at this moment.
Li Shouli, except that he is the only surviving son of Li Xian and is known for his many heirs in the Tang clan, actually has no sense of existence, and even if he does, he is mostly recorded as a recalcitrant in the clan.
has a mother, no father, stubborn is for sure, Li Tong came to this world and often saw his mother Fang Shi angry with this stubborn heir. But if you say how bad Li Shouli really is, that's not necessarily true.
The New Tang Dynasty Book says that Li Shouli's talents are obscene and humble, and he is not even as good as Li Dan's sons. But in fact, after the congenital coup d'Γ©tat and Xuanzong came to power, his brothers were basically imprisoned as pigs.
The Heavenly Family is ruthless, whether it is in the Wuzhou Dynasty or the Xuanzong Dynasty, Li Shouli is just a harmless and incompetent person, if he really has any talent, he will already go with his father. But as soon as the pen turned, he said that Li Shouli had no tutor, more than 60 men and women, no talented men, and many women were chaste.
Speaking of these, Li Tong felt a little black for the sake of black. There are more than 60 children, and there is not a single good thing, is this a life or a club? Not to mention anything else, at least Princess Jincheng, who was kicked by your relatives to Tubo and kiss, can you be merciful?
Li Xian has a good tutor? The daughter poisoned her father. Li Dan has a good tutor? Li Longji is known to the world.
Especially Li Longji picked up the ashes and buried the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his children and grandchildren are really shameless, since they can't be washed off, it's better to get dirty together, you are dirtier than us! In later generations, Ouyang Xiu and others repaired history, and when they thought of being able to black Wu Zetian, it was a climax, and they naturally didn't pay attention to marginal characters like Li Shouli, and used the old materials as soon as they were used.
In the past, Li Tong was happy to watch the excitement, but now that he has come to this world, the basin will splash him if it is buckled.
Li Tong has no shortage of anger in his heart at the moment, he originally wanted to be kind to the world, but malice is everywhere, if he can survive this Qiu Shenqi difficulty, he still can't live in the future. What should be fought for, and what should not be fought for, must be fought for!
If you can swim against the current in the coming year, and don't plant the dung pit of Li Longji, your brother will have your surname! Don't shout grievances, go back and ask your children and grandchildren!
"Study hard, do it hard, and after you get rid of it, I will let the sons of the fourth uncle's court shine your shoes for you!"
Li Tong opened his mouth and encouraged Li Shouli, who had a rare upright posture.
Fortunately, Li Shouli didn't ask a word that we actually have an uncle, but he also frowned and said, "What does this have to do with the saint's family?" β
