Chapter 344: The Abolition of the Prince
A presentation of the scenario ended quickly, and the mist dissipated automatically.
Li Longji, Gao Lishi and Concubine Wu Hui were shocked beyond comprehension.
Gao Lishi and Concubine Wu Hui frequently looked at Yang Yun, and they finally understood why Yang Yun was involved in the abolition of the crown prince, and at this time they had mistaken the scene shown by Yang Yun for a prophecy from heaven.
"Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, after discovering such a heavenly opportunity, I don't know what to do, I can only find a way to avoid it, and there is today's disaster."
Yang Yun bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but no one would hold him accountable.
Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a warning from heaven, I can see it so clearly, how can it be that Yang Tianshi falsely accused the prince?" Yang Tianshi has no grudge against the crown prince, let alone entanglement of interests, if there is no evidence, how dare he warn Concubine Hui? Today, the prince led troops into the palace, didn't it just confirm the will of heaven? ”
Li Longji took a deep breath.
Before, he didn't believe that Li Ying's reckless and brainless son dared to plot to usurp the throne, but in the face of the "ironclad evidence" shown by Yang Yun, he had to believe the "facts".
"Your Majesty, are you still obsessed?" Concubine Wu Hui's tone suddenly became tougher, and an aggrieved expression appeared on her face, as if she blamed her husband for failing her.
Li Longji sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the prince would dare to do this, but fortunately, there was an early warning from Yang Tianshi, so it didn't cause a tragedy." Concubine Hui and General Gao are loyal and righteous people, how can I doubt you? Come on, put the prince and his comrades in prison, interrogate them in detail, and see who is planning behind them! ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Gao Lishi and Concubine Wu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, Yang Yun showed the "Heavenly Machine" in time, otherwise the emperor would be afraid that it would be difficult to believe their words, even if the prince led troops into the palace, it would end up fruitless, and then they would not be able to eat and walk around.
"I'm tired, you guys step back first, I want to be alone."
Li Longji was exhausted, he was alarmed by the big movement outside before he got out, and was about to get angry when he was told by Gao Lishi and Concubine Wu Hui that the prince was plotting rebellion, he immediately summoned the generals of Yu Linwei and Qianniuwei, and found many doubts after careful inquiry, thinking that he could break the tricks of Concubine Wu Hui and Gao Lishi, and as a result, he spied the "heavenly machine" from Yang Yun in a blink of an eye, it turned out that his son really wanted to usurp the throne, and he was exhausted at this time, so he needed to calm down and think about whether he was qualified to be a father.
Seeing this, Gao Lishi beckoned Yang Yun and Concubine Wu Hui to leave the Zhenguan Palace, and when they arrived outside, Yang Yun looked calm and calm, like an outsider.
……
……
"Yang Tianshi, today's incident is thanks to you, if you hadn't shown the 'Heavenly Machine' in time, I'm afraid something big would have happened."
Gao Lishi was afraid for a while, when he saw Li Longji's angry appearance before, he couldn't think of any reason to explain, thinking that he was going to be unlucky, but fortunately, Yang Yun came forward to relieve the crisis.
At this time, Concubine Wu Hui had gone to the inner palace.
Originally, Concubine Wu Hui intended to talk to Li Longji about the new candidate for the prince, but after this incident, Concubine Wu Hui felt that there was a crisis, where did she dare to speak casually in front of the emperor?
Yang Yun smiled faintly and said, "General Gao's words are serious, I just presented the things I foresaw to His Majesty in full, it's nothing." ”
"No, no, no, your role is so important! I really didn't expect the prince to be so ambitious...... By the way, if Your Majesty doesn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, will it be the same today...... Is it still possible? Colliers asked nervously.
On the one hand, Gao Lishi wanted to completely eradicate the crown prince, and on the other hand, he was also worried about Li Longji's personal safety, so he looked at Yang Yun with great concern at this time.
Yang Yun shook his head: "This is not in the warning given by God...... I can't answer General Gao's question. ”
Gao Lishi thought about it and said worriedly: "It seems that it is still possible, that scene is ...... It's heart-wrenching, if it happens...... Datang doesn't know what the chaos will become. ”
After saying that, Gao Lishi became nervous again, and desperately wanted to go back to accompany Li Longji, and immediately said to Yang Yun in an apologetic tone: "Yang Tianshi, I can't personally send you out of the palace, but I will send someone to send you out, I hope you don't be surprised...... I would like to inform Your Majesty of this important situation. ”
Gao Lishi is kind and ruthless, if he warns Li Longji, Li Ying will be unlucky, and if the emperor obeys, he will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and Li Ying will die if he does not die.
"Okay."
Yang Yun didn't want to mention what Gao Lishi did, so as not to make people think that he was plotting to kill the prince behind his back.
His meaning is very clear, I will show you a picture, and the rest is your own understanding, and it has nothing to do with me.
……
……
Yang Yun came out of the palace, Princess Xianyi didn't leave, but she was not as confident as before, as if she knew that some accidents had happened in the palace, and Concubine Wu Hui might face a dilemma.
"Daoist Yang, what happened in the palace? But you're going to report the news? Why weren't the princelings outside the palace taken down? Princess Xianyi came up and continued to question, this attitude reminded Yang Yun of the angry Concubine Wu Hui before.
It is worthy of being a mother and daughter, although they are independent individuals, but when they encounter major events, they have the same reaction, Princess Xianyi is shrewd and decisive in many things, which seems to be related to her mother's words and deeds.
Yang Yun said: "It should be okay now, Your Majesty didn't believe in the prince's rebellion before, but fortunately, after listening to my words, it was finally confirmed that it was correct, and now the prince has been imprisoned." ”
"What?"
Princess Xianyi was extremely surprised, why did Yang Yun help Concubine Wu Hui in a blink of an eye?
What really happened in the palace?
While the two were talking, a large number of guards in the palace rushed out, seemingly to raid the prince's mansion in Luoyang, and the situation showed signs of getting out of control in an instant, and the guards who had previously grounded Princess Xianyi all consciously retreated and returned to the palace in a blink of an eye.
Yang Yun saw Princess Xianyi looking over with puzzled eyes, spread his hands and said: "I have said it all, now Your Majesty has completely believed in the prince's rebellion, the princess does not have to worry too much, Concubine Hui has gone back to the inner curtain to rest first, the princess may as well go back and wait for good news, this palace is a place of right and wrong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time!" ”
Princess Xianyi's expression was complicated, at first everyone was allies, but then Yang Yun and Concubine Wu Hui collapsed, which can be regarded as parting ways, but now Yang Yun is helping......
"They all said that you should cooperate with us, why do you have to make your own decisions?"
Princess Xianyi still taught Yang Yun a strong lesson.
Yang Yun replied angrily: "If you listen to me, why will you get out of the chaos in front of you?" His Majesty has not completely lost trust in the crown prince, thinking that just creating a situation where the prince leads troops into the palace can make His Majesty believe that the prince is plotting rebellion? I said before that you want to put the prince in charge of the army, and you have never listened to it! ”
Yang Yun had a tough attitude, he was simply reprimanding Princess Xianyi and accusing Concubine Wu Hui of being ineffective.
Princess Xianyi's face was very ugly.
Yang Yun waved his hand and said, "Since Your Majesty has believed that the prince is plotting rebellion, things will not be repeated...... You go back first, now is not the time for your mother and daughter to exert their strength, it is best to sit back and watch Your Majesty deal with this matter! ”
"Humph!"
Princess Xianyi snorted lightly, at this point, she no longer had any reason to argue with Yang Yun.
The two sides parted unhappily in front of Yingtianmen, and Yang Yun took the carriage home, still like an outsider.
……
……
In the middle of the night, there was chaos in Chang'an City.
Li Ying was arrested and imprisoned, although he had not been deposed, but he saw that the position of the prince could not be saved.
There are many princelings, and Li Ying doesn't seem to have any power, but because he is the prince, a group of officials in the Zhan Shifu, and many ministers in the court have anything to do with him, plus relatives on his wife's side......
In short, the families trembled that night, for fear that the "prince's rebellion" would involve them.
In the early morning of the next day, a grand court meeting was held in the palace to discuss the question of the existence and abolition of the crown prince.
Yang Yun, as a servant of the imperial history, originally had the qualifications to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting, but he rarely went to the yamen to order the mao, and the imperial history platform did not send anyone to inform him in a hurry, so Yang Yun watched the changes at home safely.
As a result, before the court meeting ended in the morning, an edict came out, and the crown prince Li Ying, the king of light, Li Ju, and the king of Hubei, Li Yao, were demoted to concubines, and the concubine Xue Rust was given to death.
There were many henchmen who were punished together, and there were hundreds of them in total.
This is considered Li Longji's "extrajudicial mercy", the prince was not executed, most of the officials who had an affair with the prince were not punished, and the foundation of the court was not destroyed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the court meeting dispersed, Zhang Jiuling came out of the palace, and immediately sent someone to summon Yang Yun to Zhang's mansion to meet.
Yang Yun arrived at Zhang Jiuling's mansion and was led in by Zhike, but before he arrived at Zhang Jiuling's study, he heard Zhang Jiuling angrily complaining to Zhang Zheng, Zhang Yu and others, accusing the emperor of abolishing the loyal prince without evidence.
Zhang Jiuling knows the prince's character very well, and as far as he knows, even if the prince usually does things inappropriately, it is definitely not to the point of rebellion, and he is obviously framed by someone.
In history, Zhang Jiuling gave a lot of protection to the crown prince, and in order to eradicate Li Ying, Concubine Wu Hui first tried to expel Zhang Jiuling from the court, and then succeeded.
But at the moment, Zhang Jiuling is still in the court, and he is the prime minister, and he forcibly brought down the prince, which can be said to be very thrilling, after all, from the emperor to the ministers, there is still hope for the prince, and Qingliu in the court also feels that the abolition of the prince will bring turmoil to the court.
Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty has not made a big mistake in the crown prince, the abolition of the crown prince will cause turmoil in the court, which is also the fundamental reason why the ministers of the court and the central government want to protect Li Ying.
Waiting for Yang Yun to arrive, after saluting, there was silence in the study, Zhang Jiuling seemed to know that the matter had something to do with Yang Yun, and his eyes were staring at Yang Yun like a torch.
"Father, this is not Yang Gongzi has arrived, if you have something, just say it." Zhang Zheng was afraid that Zhang Jiuling would not be able to speak, so he reminded him.
Zhang Jiuling was thunderous and angry before, but now he seemed to calm down some of his anger, and asked, "Let me ask you, what role did you play in the matter of the deposed prince?" ”
Yang Yun was relaxed and natural, he never thought that he would join Zhang Jiuling's party, and he smiled when he heard this: "Zhang Linggong shouldn't ask like this, the younger generation actually tells His Majesty what he knows and sees, this has been verified last night, does Zhang Linggong want to protect the traitor in the court?" ”
"You!"
Zhang Zheng was speechless at Yang Yun's words.
is about to marry the Zhang family, and you still contradict your wife's grandfather like this?
Zhang Jiuling said: "It seems that you have taken out conclusive evidence of the prince's rebellion?" ”
Yang Yun nodded and said, "It's just what you will see, and it will be presented in front of Your Majesty as it is, if Zhang Linggong feels that it is inappropriate to do this in Xia, then there is nothing you can do about it." ”
Since Zhang Jiuling wanted to tear his face, Yang Yun felt that there was no need to lower his voice.
Are you Zhang Jiuling?
I'm still Uncle Yang!
