Chapter 1114: Accidents
(I've been training outside these days, and it's likely that I'm going to break off, so I'll try to keep changing as much as I can.) However, the training schedule is too full, and there are many things to do in the evening, so I really don't have time to write. )
Chang'an City, composed of the outer city, the imperial city, the palace city, the Daming Palace, the Xingqing Palace, etc., the central axis is the Zhuque Street. And the northernmost part of Suzaku Street is the core of power in this empire, where the imperial city is located. And the imperial city is now in the hands of Li Ze, the king of Qin and the prime minister of the empire. In the imperial city, the Prime Minister's Office and various ministries and offices gathered.
Miyagi, which is separated from the Imperial City by only one street, covers an area of about 0.7 square kilometers. In such a vast place, there are only two noble people living in it.
One is the Empress Dowager Xiao Zheng, and the other is the emperor Li Ke, who ascended the throne as emperor in Wuyi, that is, Guchuan.
Once the supreme Taiji Palace of the entire Tang Empire, now the gate is closed, except for the sweeping palace people and the armor soldiers patrolling back and forth, the sixteen palaces of the entire Taiji Palace, but now none of them are inhabited or officed. In the eyes of the current Datang officials, only one person is qualified to occupy this place. That is Li Ze, the king of Qin and the prime minister. As for the current emperor, then forget it.
Therefore, the titular emperor Furukawa now lives in the East Palace, while the Empress Dowager Xiao Zheng also lives here.
On the other side, the Yeting Palace is occupied by the officers and soldiers of the Weiwei Temple. It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance.
However, Gu Chuan is just a lonely boy, and since the clansmen of the Empress Dowager Xiao Zheng moved north to Wuyi, although they don't have to worry about food and clothing, they no longer have the slightest influence in politics. Even because of the influence of the little Zheng family, the children of the Zheng family do not even have the possibility of studying and becoming officials.
For the current Zheng family, the existence of the Xiao Zheng family is not a glory, but a fetter and a noose. Some people even hope that Li Ze will take the throne early, and Xiao Zheng's family will die early, so that the ropes tied to them can be untied as soon as possible, even if it is this generation, there is no hope of becoming a leader, but when it comes to the younger generation, they can always start from scratch. But as long as Xiao Zheng lives for a day, they can basically only get by as they do now.
Poor little Zheng, less than twenty, was sent to Wuyi Palace by his family and became the queen of the first emperor Li Yan, but at that time, Li Yan's body had already collapsed. Later, she became a living dead, and when she entered the palace, she was actually a widow alive. And with Li Yan's death and Li Ke's escape (for Xiao Zheng's family, it is not difficult to distinguish whether Li Ke is true or false), she also completely fell into the boundless darkness, and she can no longer see any hope.
Living like a piece of dead wood every day, eating, being in a daze, and sleeping have become the only three things in her life. As for reading, playing, singing, and dancing, although she is very good at it, what does she have in mind now? For whom do you dance, and for whom do you sing?
What about Furukawa? Although he has been promised by some people, now he is not the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning, and he has more or less an understanding of the brutal political struggle.
I'm just a tool.
But when this tool is no longer of any use, whether the person who uses the tool discards or destroys it at will is just a matter of the whims of others.
He worked hard.
Read a book every day.
If he does something else, or someone else will interfere, but studying, it doesn't matter. As long as he wants to see something, the people in the palace can always find it for him. For the people who guarded them, one ate and slept all day, and the other only read books all day, which was really too leisurely to be unwanted.
It's okay not to give birth to any moths.
They won't need to stay like this for too long anyway.
As the representatives of Yixing Society from all over the country enter Chang'an one after another, the Yixing Society Congress will be held soon, and their historical mission will also be officially completed.
On the top of the Yixing Society Conference, the first agenda is absolutely the drama of the emperor's Chan.
The long-awaited Li Ze will ascend to the throne, and Li Ke's historical mission will come to an end.
It is precisely for these reasons that the guards on them are very lax. Except that they can't step out of the gate of the East Palace, and they can't see anyone who has not been approved by the above, they are inside, and whatever they want to do, they are allowed to go.
Who has the patience to keep their eyes on two people who are not threatening and have no chance of life?
It is this relaxation that gives birth to something else.
Xiao Zheng, but in his early twenties, is just the time when Fanghua is blooming.
Furukawa is also eighteen years old, and his blood is just right.
The first contact was that Furukawa was studying hard, but he couldn't understand it. In the East Palace, he has no one to ask for, although he has learned a lot of things in a few years after being selected by the Xiang family to pretend to be Li Ke, and his calligraphy is even very good, but he has encountered some difficult chapters in the history books, but he is still incomprehensible.
By chance, when Furukawa was frowning while chanting in the small garden, Xiao Zheng, who was bored, also brought a palace person to the small garden for a walk, heard Furukawa's chanting, and casually answered this question for the other party.
Xiao Zheng was born in a family, such a family, that is, a woman, in addition to being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for the subject of politics, she has also been educated since childhood.
Since then, Furukawa has always come to the small garden whenever he has a problem.
And it seems that there is a spirit in the heart, and when there is nothing to do, Xiao Zheng will also come to the small garden.
And the guards who watched over them didn't pay any attention to it. These people were all selected from the most basic soldiers, and many of them didn't even know the identity of the person they were going to take care of, and the interaction between two young men and women was naturally nothing to them about.
As time passed, these two people, but finally as soon as they met with dry firewood, they burst out into boundless flames.
And for all this, the Prime Minister's Office, which controls everything, has never known anything.
Gongsun Changming stood outside the door, his face pale.
The movement in the room made him feel a little strange.
Outside the house, Xiao Zheng's personal palace maid and a personal eunuch of Guchuan knelt on the ground, throwing their bodies to the ground, and there was no blood on their faces. And the eunuch who served Gu Chuan was a middle-aged eunuch who didn't know anything in the original palace after Gu Chuan entered Chang'an City. Furukawa is a puppet again, and he still has the ability to buy this eunuch.
This person is not a stupid person in the first place, as he has read more and more books over the years, his knowledge has become wider and wider, and some methods are self-taught.
The official of the Weiwei Temple, who was in charge of guarding the East Palace, was also trembling at the moment, he never thought that such a thing would happen.
Isn't this incest?
Xiao Zheng is the queen mother!
When Gongsun Changming's eyes swept over him, he snorted and knelt down.
There is no need to argue, if something like this happens, it will be a big scandal when it gets out, and for the Tang Empire, which is about to make a great gift, this is not a good thing.
"Now, leave the palace immediately and set off overnight to report to Chen Dong in the Western Regions!" Gongsun Changming said softly. "Remember Luo, tonight's incident, if you leak a word, you know what the consequences are."
In a word, it is to send the Western Regions, and where, now is the time for the flames of war, go, I am afraid of nine deaths, but this official is still full of gratitude, kowtows to Gongsun Changming three times, stands up, without saying a word, turns around and walks out.
Looking at the back of this official of Weiwei Temple, Gongsun Changming sighed: "My heart is really soft. I can't do it! ”
As he spoke, his hand waved, and behind him, two warriors immediately walked to the door, one by one, and lifted the little palace maid and the eunuch up, and their strong arms strangled their throats.
The faces of the two of them turned red instantly, and their legs were stomping the ground, and their eyes were full of horror and pleading when they looked at Gongsun Changming.
Gongsun Changming was unmoved.
The door was slammed open at this time.
Furukawa rushed out disheveled, and without saying a word, it turned out to be the samurai who reached out and strangled the little palace maid's hand.
The warrior was stunned and relieved. The little maid slipped out of the crook of his arm and collapsed to the ground, coughing incessantly.
Seeing this, the other warrior couldn't help but let go of his arm and let go of the eunuch.
Furukawa walked up to Gongsun Changming, looked at him for a long time, and finally lowered his head in the other party's cold eyes, and actually knelt down with a bang.
"Mr. Gongsun, it's my fault, punish me if you want to punish me, and please don't kill innocents indiscriminately."
Gongsun Changming hadn't spoken yet, there was another sound in the hall, Xiao Zheng's temples were scattered, and she ran out of the hall with a flushed face, she first bent down to check her personal maid, and then straightened up and looked at Gongsun Changming viciously.
"You have different identities and statuses, and if you do something wrong, the people around you will definitely be punished!" Gongsun Changming said coldly.
"What kind of identity am I?" Furukawa smiled bitterly: "I know, Mr. Gongsun, you also know." If there is any fault, I am willing to take it, but please don't anger others. ”
Gongsun Changming was about to speak, but Xiao Zheng opened his mouth: "Mr. Gongsun, I want to see Li Xiang!" ”
"Li Xiangke doesn't have time to see you!" Gongsun Changming said.
"If I don't see Li Xiang, I'll die!" Xiao Zheng said: "Not only will I die, but he will also die." ”
Xiao Zheng pointed at Furukawa with his hand and said, "My death is nothing, but if he dies now, I'm afraid the impact will be extraordinary, right?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to die, right?" Gongsun Changming said with a dry smile.
"Mr. Gongsun can give it a try!" Gu Chuan also reacted at this time, for Li Ze, Xiao Zheng's family is insignificant, but he still has a heavy code.
