Chapter 507 ?? Datang "Mu Ji"
"Oh no! Oh no! ……”
"Lord Siqing, it's not good......"
Everyone looked for the sound and saw that the two temple men were hurriedly running out, shouting as they ran.
The people outside were all nervous when they heard this.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was gloomy, and he no longer had the light breeze just now, and said secretly in his heart: Jiaqing is so stupid, he actually started at this time...... How can this be explained to the world......
And Li Chongyi's face was also pale with fright, and he forced himself to calm down and asked, "What happened?"
Li Chengqian is already more than lucky, if Li Xiang is killed again, the East Palace will really want the master, and his move is completely wrong.
"Where is King Yan?" Wang Liangdi asked in a trembling voice.
In a hurry, he unconsciously took a few steps forward, and directly stopped the two temples, and the two temples hurriedly stopped when they saw it, bowed down and said: "Liangdi Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yan is gone." ”
Wang Liangdi almost couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately she was supported by the palace maid next to her.
Li Chongyi, who was behind, was in a hurry when he heard this, and yelled at the two temples: "How can it be gone?—— don't you send someone to find it quickly!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was determined in his heart that Jiaqing was doing things quite safely, and did not leave Li Xiang's corpse, and when he looked up and saw that Li Chongyi was in a hurry, he slowly paced to the front and asked lightly: "Li Chongyi, Li Xiang is His Majesty's Qin case, where did you hide him?"
Li Chongyi was furious when he heard this, turned around and yelled at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Eldest grandson Wuji, don't spray people with blood, my father has been sick for nearly a month, and I have never entered Zongzheng Temple, and His Royal Highness King Yan has been guarded by Duan Yan sent by you since he entered Zongzheng Temple, why do you complain about this father?"
The eldest grandson Wuji snorted angrily when he heard this, and said solemnly: "The Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple that Li Siqing said is determined by His Majesty himself, you slander the old man out of thin air, where is Your Majesty?"
"You-" Li Chongyi was already frightened at this time, and he couldn't find a way to find his whole body in his eagerness, where was the opponent of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji became more and more proud, but in order to maintain the demeanor of the "prime minister", he did not persecute Li Chongyi anymore, but just smiled and swept to everyone: "Li Xiang has been playing bad since he was a child, at this time-"
He probably wanted to say that Li Naxiang had escaped on her own.
It's just that before the words are finished, the smile freezes on his face, and the rest of the words are stuck in his throat.
Just because Wang Liangdi had already ignored his identity, knelt in front of him, and said with tears in her eyes: "The eldest grandson is shooting, the crown princess is dead, His Royal Highness the prince's life and death are uncertain, and the third emperor's grandson is young, you can raise your noble hand and let go of King Yan, His Royal Highness the prince used a flying pigeon to pass a book to me when he was in danger, so that I can take the two imperial grandsons overseas and never return to the Tang Dynasty." ”
Saying that, he put Li Bai on the ground, and kowtowed to the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Bai left Wang Liangdi's arms and cried.
Rao is the eldest grandson Wuji's hard-hearted heart that has been cultivated, and when he saw Wang Liangdi kneeling down towards him with Li Bai in his arms, he was also shocked.
It's not about how high Wang Liangdi's status is, but because the role that Wang Liangdi and Li Bai are playing now is a quasi-orphan and widow, and she is kneeling on the ground now, even Li Shimin can't be angry, so she can only comfort her with good words.
Some people may want to say that Wang Liangdi can only be regarded as Li Chengqian's concubine, her name is not right, her words are not good, and the eldest grandson Wuji can ignore her.
But don't forget, she was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, the head of the five surnames and seven sects, and was Liangdi, who was selected into the East Palace by Li Chengqian's request and Li Shimin himself, and Li Chengqian's casual pampering of palace maids is very different.
is like in history, she can be the queen without children and daughters, and Concubine Xiao Shufei has a son and two daughters who are favored in the harem, and she can only be subservient to her.
There are not many theories, and the people in front of Zongzheng Temple have begun to scold loudly.
"A traitor, he dared to poison the emperor's grandson ......"
"Eldest grandson Wuji, hurry up and hand over His Royal Highness King Yan!"
......
Hearing that Li Xiang was gone, the East Palace Offering Servants who were mixed in the crowd were all anxious, and loudly questioned the eldest grandson Wuji in the crowd.
When the people of the Tang Dynasty saw the eldest grandson Wuji bullying orphans and widows, they were filled with indignation one by one, and couldn't help but scold.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked around and looked even more anxious, if it was confirmed that it was Li Xiang who he killed, even if he assisted Li Zhi to ascend the throne in the end, he and his family would not be able to escape being held accountable.
After all, the current situation is still different from the Xuanwu Change, the two sides have already become fire and water before the Xuanwu Gate Change, and Li Shimin can convict Li Jiancheng at will after the victory.
But if Li Chengqian died at the hands of the Turks, who in the Tang Dynasty could convict him?
The eldest grandson Wuji suppressed all the discomfort in his heart, tried his best to pretend to be kind and compassionate, and said to Wang Liangdi: "Liangdi Niangniang's words are wrong, the old man heard that Li Xiang was missing as soon as he came here, and I really don't know where Li Xiang went, so you should ask Li Siqing." ”
As he spoke, he bent down and wanted to pick up Li Bai on the ground.
didn't want his hand to reach halfway, Li Bai was taken away by the old ghost first.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face stiffened and he was about to speak, but he heard Li Chongyi say loudly: "The eldest grandson servant, this father has been sick for many days, and he hasn't even come out of the mansion, all the government affairs of Zongzheng Temple are presided over by you sent by Shaoqing Duan Yan, what does His Royal Highness King Yan have to do with the disappearance of Zongzheng Temple?" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji's face turned cold, and he straightened up and looked at Li Chongyi, as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
And Duan Yan, the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, heard that he was about to argue, but he heard Wang Liangdi, who was helped up by the palace maid, say sadly: "In any case, His Royal Highness King Yan is gone, so you must send someone to find it first." ”
When the old ghost behind her heard this, he immediately turned around and ordered to the guards of the East Palace: "You guys immediately enter the Zongzheng Temple to find His Royal Highness King Yan!" The head of the guard also knew that the situation was urgent, and just waited for an order to take two regiments of soldiers to rush to Zongzheng Temple like wolves and tigers.
The old ghost didn't follow up because he was holding Li Bai, and shouted at the guards of the East Palace who rushed in behind his back: "Today, I will turn over Zongzheng Temple, and I will also find out His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
"You-" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, for fear that the guards of the East Palace would find out something in the Zongzheng Temple.
But before he could speak, Li Chongyi first said loudly: "Come and take down Duan Yan." ”
The guards behind Li Chongyi immediately came out to get people, but they were stopped by the eldest grandson Wuji, who looked at Li Chongyi with a blue face, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Yan is the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, and he is the minister of the imperial court, not your domestic slave, and if you want to take him, you must be ordered by Your Majesty." Do you dare to arrest him openly, do you want to rebel? ”
Li Chongyi also calmed his face and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yan disappeared in Zongzheng Temple, and Duan Yan is to blame. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was still expressionless, blocking in front of Li Chongyi's guards.
It's just that he can block Li Chongyi's guards, but he can't stop the East Palace guards behind Wang Liangdi.
I only heard Wang Liangdi shout softly: "Take it!" ”
The guards of the East Palace, who had been holding back the fire for a long time, immediately pounced on Duan Yan, and before the eldest grandson Wuji could react, Duan Yan was arrested like a chicken.
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said angrily: "Is Liangdi Niangniang also going to rebel?"
In the face of the intimidation of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Liangdi was unmoved, directly showed a gold medal, and said coldly: "This is the gold medal of His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness King Yan has three long and two short today, the palace will use this card to punish him for the three clans!" ”
Hearing that Li Xiang was gone, Wang Liangdi was already furious, no matter what Liu Zheng's plan was, she couldn't accept Li Xiang's accident, because protecting Li Xiang and Li Bai was something that Li Chengqian wrote to her when he encountered a desperate situation, which can be said to be Li Chengqian's last wish.
As a woman in Wang Liangdi's heart, she can't fulfill her husband's last wish, is there any point in living?
Wang Liangdi has such thoughts, in addition to the superficial three obedience and four virtues, more importantly, she loves Li Chengqian deeply.
"You!"
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes widened, looking at Wang Liangdi in disbelief, but he couldn't say anything, in the face of the crown prince's gold medal, he was still a courtier after all, and conspiracy and tricks could only be used in places where no one could be seen.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't do it, Wang Liangdi, who was tough on the surface, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, facing the prime minister of the eldest grandson Wuji, who had dominated the Tang Dynasty for more than 20 years, she also felt great pressure.
Everyone waited in front of the gate of Zongzheng Temple for a while, but when they didn't see the news coming out, Wang Liangdi became anxious again, because she turned back and said to the old ghost: "Send more people to go in and look for it." ”
Although the old ghost has some qualifications, he is old, and he has been a slave for many years, so he only knows obedience and does not dare to resist when facing a superior like the eldest grandson Wuji.
When Wang Liangdi came out strongly, the old ghost decided to serve her as the master, and immediately said loudly: "Hurry up, go to another group of people!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was even more frightened when he saw this, plus the two regiments of soldiers who entered just now, there were already nine hundred East Palace guards in Zongzheng Temple searching, in case they found some clues......
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but turn his head to look at the angry people around him, if he asked the East Palace to find out the evidence that they killed Li Xiang now, if he didn't make it, the eldest grandson's family would have to bury Li Xiang.
When the eldest grandson Wuji was in a hurry, he saw a team of East Palace guards running out of Zongzheng Temple in a hurry, with a person who seemed to have no bones behind him.
Wang Liangdi and everyone were a little puzzled when they saw it, only the eldest grandson Wuji's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but run a few steps forward and asked loudly, "What happened to him?"
The guards of the East Palace ignored him, and directly put the person in front of Wang Liangdi and hugged his fists and said: "Qi Qi Liang Di Di Niangniang, the last general will wait to find that this person is drunk like mud in Zongzheng Temple, but the two temple officials said that he is not an official of Zongzheng Temple. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to the guard's report, only to realize that he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
And Li Chongyi couldn't help but turn his head towards the eldest grandson Wuji and sneered after seeing the person who came: "The eldest grandson is shooting, what else do you have to say here?"
Wang Liangdi was confused when she heard this, because she asked Li Chongyi: "Who is Li Siqing?"
Li Chongyi said with a malicious smile on his face when he heard this: "Hui Liangdi Niangniang, this is the second son of the eldest grandson Shunde, the eldest grandson Jiaqing, that is, the eldest grandson's brother, he is not an official of my Zongzheng Temple, but he appeared in the Zongzheng Temple at this time, and His Royal Highness King Yan's sudden loss of sect must have something to do with this person." ”
Wang Liangdi listened and turned her head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't find the right words to shirk for a while.
Li Chongyi next to him still said with a wicked smile: "Di Niangniang doesn't know that this eldest grandson Jiaqing is a famous gentleman in Chang'an City, and he regards wine as his life, and he lives in Pingkangfang almost for a long time on weekdays. If he hadn't been instructed by someone, he wouldn't have entered Zongzheng Temple. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that if he didn't argue at this time, he would be confirmed by Li Chongyi, so he instructed the eldest grandson Jiaqing to murder Li Xiang, and he was busy roaring inwardly: "Li Chongyi, you don't want to spew blood." “
Li Chongyi's face turned cold when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but he saw Wang Liangdi saluting the eldest grandson Wuji, and said loudly: "The eldest grandson servant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now unlucky, I don't dare to have any extravagant hopes, I just ask you to let King Yan go, let our family go overseas forever!" ”
Everyone at the gate of Zongzheng Temple, including the eldest grandson Wuji, thought that Li Xiang was either hidden by the eldest grandson Jiaqing or killed by the eldest grandson Jiaqing, but as long as this kind of thing is not stupid, he will not admit it on the spot.
Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji has been in the court for many years, of course, he is not stupid, so I saw him slowly close his eyes, and said helplessly: "Liangdi Niangniang also heard that the eldest grandson Jiaqing is a gentleman, although he is the elder brother of the old man, but the old man has been busy with state affairs over the years, and he has indeed ignored him, and now he has been drunk and brought here, just to use him as a useless gentleman to slander the old man!" ”
Saying that, looking up at the sky, he seemed to have been greatly wronged.
What the eldest grandson Wuji said is reasonable, and even the facial expressions and movements are not bad, which can be said to be an actor-level performance.
But neither Li Chongyi nor Wang Liangdi was moved, and they both believed in their hearts that Li Xiang's disappearance was done by the eldest grandson Wuji.
Wang Liangdi saw that the eldest grandson Wuji refused to let go, and was anxious and angry, anxious that Li Xiang couldn't find it and was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji and his gang at some point, and the angry thing was that the eldest grandson Wuji not only didn't miss the old love, but was also so shameless that he lied in public. Therefore, his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Take down the eldest grandson Jiaqing, and send him to his house again, arrest his family and his family into the East Palace, and torture him for questioning." ”
"Yes!" The old ghost behind her immediately saluted when she heard the order, and then pointed to Duan Yan, the young master of Zongzheng Temple, and said, "Liangdi Niangniang, do you want this person's family to be invited into the East Palace together?"
Wang Liangdi glanced at Duan Yan with burning eyes, and nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, the old ghost hurriedly arranged for someone to do it.
In this way, everyone waited outside the gate of Zongzheng Temple for another hour, and the guards of the East Palace almost turned Zongzheng Temple over, and never found a clue.
Wang Liangdi and his entourage were unable to wait for a long time because they were carrying the coffin of the crown princess Su, so they ordered all the other officials of Zongzheng Temple except Li Chongyi to be locked in Zongzheng Temple, waiting for the follow-up investigation, and the entire Zongzheng Temple was guarded by the East Palace guards, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will, including those who delivered food, that is, if these people did not confess, they would be starved inside.
During this period, officials from the six departments of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province arrived one after another.
These people are all newly replaced by the eldest grandson Wuji, and they are definitely the eldest grandson Wuji's henchmen, but in the face of Wang Liangdi's approach, no one said a word "no".
Even the eldest grandson Wuji personally entered the Taiji Palace to ask Li Shimin to make an order, but in the end there was no result.
Some officials in Chang'an City slowly saw the key to this, Li Shimin killed the emperor's grandson Li Ju because of cultivating immortals. Li Shimin was afraid that after his death, Li Chengqian would disregard his reputation and announce his cultivation of immortals to the world, and even recorded them in the history books for future generations to comment.
For the sake of his reputation in future generations, Li Shimin decided to change the crown prince, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with Li Chengqian who has been fighting abroad, and now Li Chengqian is in danger again, life and death are uncertain, and his son disappeared in Zongzheng Temple for no apparent reason, if Li Shimin does not do something, how can he explain to the world and future generations?
Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace didn't know that the ministers outside had analyzed him thoroughly, and he was half-lying on the dragon bed sighing, and even he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.
Maybe only at this time can he understand Li Yuan a little bit!
