Chapter 517: Infiltrating the Yu Family's Old Mansion
The shocking incident that occurred, even Wei Zheng, who has always been righteous and straightforward, did not dare to speak, the old man Wei was to assist the prince Li Jiancheng, after the change of Xuanwumen, he was subdued by Li Shimin, and since then it has become a well-known opposition party in the Tang Dynasty, but where Li Shimin supports, the old man Wei will definitely oppose it, and he will oppose it when Li Shimin is happy, and typically build his happiness on Li Shimin's pain, and this kind of comfortable days will be more than ten years.
Old man Wei has done it countless times, but today, Wei Zheng didn't dare to say a word.
The old man has been in the court all his life, and he is still alive countless times, and he lives very nourishingly, which fully proves that the old man is not stupid, some things can be directly advised, and even when the palace collides with the conflict, it is fine, but after some things happen, it is best to clamp even the gutter a little, and do not make any discordant sound, otherwise there is a high probability that the head will fall to the ground and the door will be copied.
The court meeting ended without wind and waves, the courtiers dispersed, and in private, the haunting of the princess's mansion is still a hot headline topic for them to whisper, and it is impossible to test whether anyone secretly likes it, but it is certain that the number of retweets must be not small.
…………
Retribution is by no means only in front of the princess's mansion, but even greater retribution is in the back.
The calm and waveless day passed, after nightfall, the doors of Chang'an City were closed, and the martial marquis lined up to patrol the night with halberds, and in the quiet night, only one or two dogs barked occasionally, and the streets were empty and there were no people.
Located at the north end of Suzaku Street, there are many people outside the Shenguo Gong Gao Mansion, and the soldiers and generals on duty are cruising around the Gao Mansion as if they were facing a great enemy.
The rumors in Chang'an City are too ugly these days, and while the Gao family is deeply affected, they also secretly strengthen the vigilance inside and outside the house, in the end, the Gao family is also a little weak-hearted, and the rumors of the gods and monsters make the Gao family inexplicably nervous, after all, Gao Shilian did lead the prisoners to kill a lot of people during the Xuanwumen Change.
On the day of the incident, Li Shimin killed in Xuanwu Gate, Gao Shilian was not idle, under his leadership, more than 5,000 soldiers guarding Fanglin Gate were killed by the prisoners to the sea of corpses and blood, the strong smell of blood has not dissipated for several months, the second year, that is, the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ascended the throne to change the Yuan, and some people in the market heard that there are often ghosts crying and screaming in the middle of the night near Fanglin Gate, at that time Gao Shilian only thought that it was the people to spread falsehood, so he made Xuan Xuan malicious slander, so he has not cared.
However, after such a terrifying incident happened in Princess Dongyang's Mansion last night, the Gao family was finally a little shaken, different from Li Shimin's stubborn and stubborn attitude, after the incident, the Gao family sent people to Taiping Village to investigate for the first time, from the villagers to the Jinwuwei soldiers on duty in the princess's mansion have inquired, and the Gao family has finally had to believe in the statement of retribution.
In this era, dozens of ghost fires that are neatly arranged like military formations have appeared for no reason, who can explain it with scientific truth? Since the explanation is not clear, I can only believe that it is the work of ghosts and gods.
Last night, the princess's mansion changed suddenly, and tonight the Gao family was afraid, and sent all the subordinates in the mansion to guard outside the door, and the huge Guogong Mansion was extremely heavily guarded.
However, what should happen will happen.
After the time passed, everything that happened in Princess Dongyang's Mansion last night was about to be repeated in the Gao family......

Chapter 261: Midnight Chaos
? Gaofu is divided into three courtyards in the southeast and north, the north courtyard is the main courtyard, where Gao Shilian, the head of the Gao family, lives in one room, and the other two partial courtyards are where Gao Shilian's two sons live, and the eldest son Gao Cheng lives in the east courtyard.
It was late at night, and Gao Cheng was still wearing a robe, kneeling in front of the bookcase in the room, quietly watching the flickering candles on the desk.
Marriage with the royal family, in line with the interests of the Gao family, he is not opposed, the prince said the matchmaker, Gao performance is actually very happy, in fact, long before the prince said the matchmaker, the Gao family has been looking for a suitable opportunity to ask the royal family, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the prince to take the initiative to say the matchmaker for the Gao family, I really don't know if this is a coincidence or the prince has already planned.
As for the prince later ordered someone to take out the portrait of Princess Dongyang, Gao Cheng was a little overjoyed, Princess Dongyang's appearance, figure, personality, all of them are the best choice, this is simply an unexpected surprise, from the East Palace back to the house, Gao Cheng even had some tea and rice not to think about, he felt that he must have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life, so he not only cast a good baby in this life, but also promised him a talented and beautiful wife.
Life is so perfect that I want to cry when I am so happy that I want to cry.
Who knew that a few days later, the peak turned around, and the courtiers broke out shocking gossip, and Princess Dongyang actually had an affair with the farmer-born Jingyang County, which really made the Gao family gloomy. The father and son were so angry that they secretly gritted their teeth.
There was such a scandal in the royal family, the Gao family was actually even more uncomfortable, after the incident, Gao Shilian planned to enter the palace and refuse this family affair, after all, the Gao family also wanted to be face-saving, and the Gao family was not noble enough to be a pick-up man, but at this time Gao Cheng stopped his father.
After seeing the portrait of Princess Dongyang. Gao Cheng has been deeply fascinated by her, he is a son of a family, often mixed in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and prostitutes all day long, he doesn't pay much attention to chastity, Dongyang's stunning and gentle appearance makes him fascinated, and vows to marry her home, as for her affair with Li Su, Gao Cheng decided to forgive him very much.
Therefore, Gao Cheng stopped his father from refusing the marriage. The reason is very righteous and bright, no matter what kind of princess the princess is, from the interests of the family, the Gao family needs to marry the royal family, if this refusal, I am afraid that His Majesty will never marry other princesses to the Gao family in the future, in short, there is no next store in this village.
Gao Shilian looked at his son and was silent for a long time. The family is unfortunate, and his son has the face of a pick-up man.
Soon. The father and son of the Gao family reached a consensus, but they didn't want to save face, and resisted the mocking eyes of the magnates in Chang'an City, and the Gao family still insisted on marrying the princess!
First, it is in the interests of the Gao family, and second, it can be regarded as a relief for His Majesty. After all, there is such a scandal in the royal family, and the Gao family still does not abandon the royal family, this move will undoubtedly add a lot of points to the Gao family. For the sake of today's unwavering affection, Your Majesty will not embarrass the Gao family.
Kill two birds with one stone, father and son hit it off.
However, things did not go as smoothly as the two families had imagined.
Rumors were inexplicably spread in Chang'an City, and the royal family and the Gao family became the protagonists of the rumors, mentioning an inglorious past with a strong smell of blood.
In the Xuanwu Gate Change, Gao Shilian did lead the prisoners to kill people, and there were a lot of kills, and there were not a few of the 5,000 garrison soldiers in Fanglin Gate who were killed, leaving no one alive.
But at that moment when the prince was at stake, whoever dared to pick up a weapon was the enemy of His Royal Highness King Qin, was it a crime to kill the enemy?
Retribution?
Gao Cheng sneered a few times, if there was retribution, it should have been repaid a long time ago, why wait for more than ten years? The world is ignorant, ridiculous and pitiful.
The sound of bangs outside the house knocked four times, and when it was already a child, a chilly breeze blew into the house, and the candlelight on the desk swayed rapidly.
***************************************************************
Outside the gate of the Shenguo Mansion, the generals of the Gao family held their swords and pressed their swords, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Chang'an City has implemented a curfew since the founding of the country, after nightfall the doors of the whole Chang'an 108 square are all closed, both officials and people in the city can only move within the scope of their own courtyards, out of their own gates are considered to be guilty of night, after being held by the Wuhou who patrols the night, the light is to draw ten whips, the heavy is to lock and take the prison, exile thousands of miles or squatting in prison for several months, it all depends on the mood of the judge.
The curfew is a good policy, at least for the rulers, and the greatest advantage of this policy is that it isolates the officials and people of the whole city in one market after another, and the market is like a cage, and if you want to rebel and revolution, you can only howl a few slogans in the cage, and before a pillar of incense can be used, the army transferred by the imperial court can wipe him out.
There was still a curfew in the city tonight, and when it was time to hold the lights, the fang officials closed the door of the fang, and the streets of each fang were empty, except for the Wuhou who patrolled the night, not even a dog that committed the night could be found.
In the middle of the night, the fang officials patrolled the streets, and the bangzi knocked four times, and it was just right.
There was a sudden movement in a narrow alley not far from the Shenguo Mansion on Suzaku Street.
There are sewers on both sides of the narrow alley, yes, sewers existed as early as the Qin Dynasty, and most of the things that modern people can think of can actually be imagined by ancient people.
Zheng Xiaolou, dressed in black, stood up from the sewer and shook off the dirty water and dirt on his body.
Before the curfew, Zheng Xiaolou lay down in the sewer ditch next to the narrow alley in advance, covered with a long wooden plank, and erected it above the ditch, leaving only a small space to breathe.
Zheng Xiaolou is like a predatory lion. He waited patiently in the ditch for two hours, and it was not until the hour was right that he got up from the ditch.
The heavy responsibility entrusted by Li Su is on Zheng Xiaolou's shoulders, so every detail must not be careless, Zheng Xiaolou is very cautious, and every action seems to have been carefully considered. No trace is revealed.
There is still some distance from the Gao family, about more than 100 zhang, Zheng Xiaolou took advantage of the cover of the night, like a civet cat as light as a swallow, quietly avoided several teams of Wuhou who patrolled the night, and the cat sneaked all the way around his waist.
With a distance of more than 100 zhang, Zheng Xiaolou spent half an hour and finally sneaked outside the south wall of the Gao family's mansion.
Looking at the towering wall, Zheng Xiaolou pursed his lips. After observing for a while, his body suddenly shrank, and he jumped into the air with a full breath, but it was not as exaggerated as flying on the wall, but when he was exhausted in his bounce, he gently kicked on the wall, and jumped up a few feet with his strength, and climbed the wall with both hands, and then his body flipped in the air. Silently infiltrated the Gao Mansion.
**************************************************************
A member of the Gao family approached the grass drunkenly, his mouth full of wine. Humming an unknown minor key.
Last night, there was a ghost fire in Princess Dongyang's mansion, and I heard that a Jinwuwei soldier had died, and the rumors in the market instantly reached the peak of boiling, and the retribution theory a few days ago finally found the most powerful verification, and the Gao family was shocked at the same time, but also prepared for what happened. All the tribalists will be sent out to patrol the night.
Obviously, this drunken night patrol is very unprofessional, and drinks while patrolling, and he drinks a lot.
Approaching the edge of the grass, the part lifts the hem. Tearing off the calf's nose pants and about to release the water to drain the flood, the unknown minor key was humming happily, but it stopped abruptly, and then let out a painful muffled snort, and the whole person disappeared out of thin air as if it had been sucked away by a black hole, and a moment later, a seven-hole bleeding corpse flew out of the edge of the grass and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled pop.
The sound was not loud, but the Gao family maintained a high degree of vigilance tonight, and the subtle sound still alarmed the generals who were patrolling the night.
A group of men ran towards the place where the noise was made, and saw a man lying on his back on the withered yellow grass, his eyes wide open, staring at the night sky vacantly, blood slowly flowing from his mouth, eyes, ears and nostrils.
Everyone gasped, and a chill quickly rose from the soles of their feet.
"Quick...... Sound the gong to warn! Dead! The first part of the trigram said in a trembling voice.
The piercing sound of gongs reverberated in the calm and quiet night, and it sounded terrifying.
The Gao family was completely confused by the sound of gongs, and hurried footsteps came from all directions, and in a moment, a large circle of people stood around the body of the dead tribe.
Everyone silently looked at the seven-hole bleeding corpse, and their eyes showed extreme horror, and they didn't know what kind of horrified picture they saw before they died.
"Search! Search this neighborhood thoroughly, everyone don't believe in any demons and monsters, this must be a suspicious array laid by thieves, everyone is a man who has been on the killing array, don't be blinded by this little trick! The first part of the ministry waved his hand vigorously and made the most correct decision.
The subordinates, all of whom were sergeants, were very obedient, and the crowd quickly dispersed, quickly searching every corner of this remote garden.
Next to the grass was a small grove, and in the middle of winter, all the leaves in the woods had fallen, and only a thin branch swayed in the cold wind.
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the woods, and everyone's hearts tightened, and they hurried towards the woods.
One of the tribesmen crawled out of the woods, his face twisted into a strange and ugly shape in the dim light of the torches, and it was hard to imagine that the various organs of a normal person's eyes, nose and mouth could be so misaligned.
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
The song that ran out pointed to the woods, his voice trembled, and he trembled: "There is a ...... in the forest There was ......"
Before he finished speaking, Bu Qu's eyes suddenly rolled white, and under the horrified gaze of everyone, blood slowly flowed from his mouth, eyes, and nostrils, and the trachea in his throat seemed to be choked by the blood gushing out, and his hands pinched his neck to try to make his breathing easier, and after a few difficult breaths, his hands suddenly hung down weakly, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.
Try his breath again, and he is already out of breath like the one who died in the grass just now.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and there was no time to react, and then everyone saw that in the depths of the pitch-black woods, dozens of miserable green ghost fires were lined up in a neat queue, like a military formation on the battlefield, slowly but terrifyingly floating towards everyone.
The vision doesn't stop there.
They are all killers who have seen blood on the battlefield, and everyone has a few lives in their hands, and there are naturally some people in the crowd who are not afraid of death and do not believe in evil.
Seeing this scene, several subordinates couldn't help but have a sense of anger in their eyes, and the horizontal knives in their hands tightened, and a dozen or so people formed a small square formation in the blink of an eye, and everyone took out the posture of killing the enemy on the battlefield, and slowly approached those green and faint ghost fires.
At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps around the woods.
The footsteps were neat, and everyone was sergeants who had been through the battlefield, and soon they could hear that something was wrong with the footsteps.
It's too neat, it's clearly the footsteps of the army slowly advancing forward when it meets the enemy, and only with unified command, unified action, and every move is like a person, can there be such a neat footsteps.
However, the sound is close to the ear, what about people?
There were torches flickering all around, somewhat bright, but as far as the eye could see, there was no one in sight.
I don't see anyone, but I have such neat steps, could it be......
The hands of the tribesmen holding their swords could not help but soften, and when they looked at each other, they found that each other's faces were as blue and white as the dead.
"Yin soldiers cross!" One of the tribals muttered to himself in distraction.
"The ...... who died at Hong Lim Gate Yin soldiers? Extremely frightened, another tribal blurted out. (To be continued......
Today's update is a little delayed...
Gaofu is divided into three courtyards in the southeast and north, the north courtyard is the main courtyard, where the head of the Gao family, Gao Shilian, lives in one room, and the other two partial courtyards are where Gao Shilian's two sons live, and the eldest son Gao lives in the east courtyard.

No matter what kind of mind the prince has, but the result of the matter is exactly in line with the Gao family's intentions, Gao Cheng is the son of the Gao family, as early as when he became an adult, it was clear that his marriage was by no means his own master, and the decision was in the hands of his father Gao Shilian, who was summoned into the East Palace by the prince that day, Gao Cheng originally said to the prince in his heart, as for which princess the prince said was the princess, to be honest, Gao! Not! Wrong! I don't care at all, whether it's beautiful or ugly, Gao Zhen didn't take it to heart, the important thing is the identity of the princess, and the relationship between the Gao family and the royal marriage.
As for the prince later ordered someone to take out the portrait of Princess Dongyang, Gao Cheng was a little overjoyed, Princess Dongyang's appearance, figure, personality, all of them are the best choice, this is simply an unexpected surprise, from the East Palace back to the house, Gao Cheng even had some tea and rice not to think about, he felt that he must have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life, so he not only cast a good baby in this life, but also promised him a talented and beautiful wife.

Chapter 261: Midnight Chaos (II:
...
Chapter 262: The Gao Family's Retribution
? The saying of "Yin Soldier" has existed since ancient times.
For example, Qin Shi Huang listened to the words of the scholars, made more than 10,000 terracotta warriors and horses before his death, and buried them in the imperial mausoleum, these terracotta warriors and horses are Yin soldiers.
When he was alive, he was the king and hegemon, and he didn't stop when he died, and he planned to lead tens of thousands of Yin soldiers to the underworld to continue to form a group to farm monsters, Qin Shi Huang had a tossing heart, and he could never be a quiet beautiful man.
Everyone has heard of the "Yin Soldier", but after all, the Yin Soldier is just a saying, and no one has seen it with their own eyes, but tonight, at this time, in the courtyard of the Gao family's house, everyone heard a strange and terrifying footsteps.
The footsteps were not fast, every step was rhythmic, and everyone could clearly feel the footsteps getting closer and closer to them, so close that they seemed to be almost in front of them.
I don't know if it's a psychological reason, everyone listened to the sound from far and near, only to feel that the surroundings were instantly filled with a fierce murderous aura, like a blade stabbing their skin, in this murderous aura, people were motionless like wood carvings.
There is no one to hear, and this is the most terrible place.
The tribes were about to collapse, and at this time, a few bold people stood up and roared at the top of their throats, and this roar finally made everyone come back to their senses, and one of the tribes led by them shouted loudly: "There are men who are saving people's lives in their hands, what demons and monsters are you afraid of!" Left and right are not strong enough to die, and line up for Lao Tzu! ”
After all, they are all sergeants who have been on the battlefield, and the troops show a very high level of military quality, no matter how much fear they have in their hearts. At this time, with the fierce shouting of the leader of the man, more than thirty people quickly formed a square formation according to the words, and everyone unsheathed their swords horizontally, facing viciously in the direction where the footsteps came.
"Kill!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, startling a group of black magpies on the branches of the night.
The momentum is enough. Morale was restored, however...... But still no enemy in sight.
After forming a formation, the footsteps on the opposite side stopped, but the dozens of ghost fires in the grove were still faintly flickering.
There was silence all around, and the tribes were short of breath, and their red eyes kept scanning the surroundings, but apart from the dozens of ghost fires, they couldn't see where the enemy was.
The idea of "Yin soldiers crossing the border" once again disturbed everyone's hearts, and the morale that had just recovered gradually fell into depression again.
Long. A terrible scream suddenly came from the east side of the Gao family's mansion, and everyone ran towards the east courtyard in shock.
The east courtyard is the courtyard where the high family and the son of the high school perform.
The tribesmen rushed to the east courtyard and found Gao Cheng sitting in the courtyard with a pale face and dull eyes, a white shirt disheveled, and a person lying at his feet, but he was Gao Cheng's personal servant. The death of the domestic servant and the two members of the South Courtyard was exactly the same, and their eyes were wide open. Seven holes were bleeding, apparently out of breath.
Gao Cheng's expression was full of horror, staring blankly at the dark corner of the courtyard, and muttering to himself as if he was crazy: "Ghosts, there are really ghosts...... Retribution is coming, retribution is coming......"
The crowd is in a hurry. The one who called the doctor, the one who brought hot water, and the one who pinched the high performer, was very busy.
Gao Cheng trembled, and he didn't know what horrifying picture he had just seen. As if crazy, he kept muttering something that others couldn't understand.
Tonight's Gao family can be described as chickens and dogs, there are still two corpses lying in the south garden, and there is one more in the east courtyard, only three minutes later, the Gao family has died three people in a row.
Everyone was busy comforting Gao Cheng, and assigned people to protect the other relatives and children of the Gao family, and also sent people to open the gate and ask for help from Wuhou who was patrolling the night outside.
When the hands were in a hurry, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard north of the Gao family, each of which was stepping on the rhythm, as if the military formation was slowly advancing forward, boom, boom, boom......
Gao Cheng, who was distracted and muttered to himself, heard this footsteps, his body trembled more and more, and after shaking violently for a while, his eyes rolled white, and he finally fainted, and a string of white foam appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The Gao family was about to go crazy, and the first person pulled out the horizontal knife, raised his finger to the sky, and shouted: "Who is the devil and monster doing it!" Do you want to kill them all? ”
One of the tribe's eyes widened in horror, and his face turned pale and said, "North...... The north courtyard is the courtyard of the old man......"
All the tribes were excited, and then they pulled their legs and ran towards the north courtyard.
**************************************************************
At dawn, the officials in Chang'an City lazily opened the door, and the city was unimpeded again.
With the opening of the gate, the rumors spread like a plague and spread throughout the city in a short time.
The retribution of the Gao family has really been fulfilled!
Last night, the Yin soldiers in the Gao family's mansion crossed the border, the ghost fire was raging, and the servants of the tribe died five people in a row, all of them bled to death through seven holes, and the son of the Gao family, that is, Gao Cheng, who was going to marry the princess of Dongyang on the seventh day of the first month, was frightened into delirium, bedridden, and until now he is still talking crazy.
The head of the family, Gao Shilian, also fell ill, it is said that he was angry and afraid, and he had a head disease, and the entire Gao family was filled with a thick bad luck.
First is the Dongyang Princess's Mansion, and then the Gao family, the two families are haunted one after another, and people die one after another, which just confirms the saying that the marriage of the two families must have retribution.
The people of Chang'an were boiling.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have liked to watch the excitement, and it is never a big deal to watch the excitement. Princess Dongyang and the Gao family had accidents one after another, which was in line with the taste of the lively people, fresh, supernatural, and past events, coupled with the unique causal cycle theory, which completely satisfied all the elements of the lively event.
Throughout the morning, whether it is a merchant or a common man, they are talking about each other, what happened in the Gao family last night has been rendered and processed, and it has become more and more amazing, especially the topic of the crossing of the Yin soldiers, it is even more said that there are noses and eyes, as if they have seen it in person, when the incident happened, it was clear that they only heard the sound and did not see anyone, but some people rendered it as seeing the Yin soldiers wearing armor and helmets, and marching forward in a military formation. Some people also swore to the sky, saying that the Yin soldiers were all the garrison soldiers of Fanglin Gate back then, and some old people also said that a certain baby in the Yin Soldier Army was a fellow villager of the year, and was promoted to the fire chief, and was stationed at Fanglin Gate 20 years ago, and was slaughtered by the death row prisoners led by Gao Shilian. The baby's eyebrows and eyes are clearly the same as they were back then, and they haven't changed at all......
The rumors became more and more true, and after rounds of rendering and exaggeration, the final version that was widely circulated in the mouths of the people was 108,000 miles away from the facts, adding all kinds of personal observations, perhaps thinking that there were only ghost elements in this excitement that made the story framework too thin, so the people automatically and spontaneously added various gods and various Buddhas and other plots according to their own beliefs.
Just like a book called "Journey to the West" a thousand years later, it was originally just a monk who went to Tianzhu to ask for scriptures. What a normal and logical thing, after leaving Chang'an City, the monkeys came, the pigs came, and all the gods and monsters came, and they were out of control......
Today's rumors in Chang'an City have this trend, and in the end, a fairy fighting method was born, and the ghosts were powerful. The annual drama of the Tang Dynasty where the Buddha subdued the demons, the three worlds of heaven, earth and man were all high.
…………
Today, the court hall of Taiji Palace is also lively.
It was not dawn. The ministers gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate and waited for the palace gate to open, and as soon as three or five people got together, all kinds of gossip spread.
Many meritorious dignitaries live on Suzaku Street like the Gao family, and they know the movements of the Gao family at night best, and the oral tradition of the people is quite faithful to the original work, and what they say is basically the truth.
Inevitably, the words "Ghost Fire" and "Yin Soldier Crossing" are the words that appear most frequently. It was not a rumor, and as soon as more than a dozen powerful people and important ministers who lived on Suzaku Street met, they confirmed each other, and the ghost fire and the Yin soldiers were 100% certain.
As soon as a few words were passed out, the courtiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale - they looked around at the crowd waiting for the court, and found that none of the Gao family members came today, and then looked at the dark sky before dawn, the cold wind of the early morning blew by, and everyone shivered a few times together, and suddenly felt cold all over their bodies.
No matter how many theories are circulated in the court or among the people, how outrageous the various statements are, but at least the ghost fire and the Yin soldiers are confirmed without a doubt, and then combine the retribution theory circulating in Chang'an City a few days ago and the haunted incident in Princess Dongyang's mansion the night before, this matter finally has a clear and complete context.
The marriage between the royal family and the Gao family was really retributed, which is an ironclad fact.
When the ministers were discussing, a few long bells came from the bell tower of Taiji Palace, and the heavy door of Chengtian Palace slowly opened, and hundreds of officials sorted out their clothes and entered the palace to meet.
Before the hundred officials entered the palace, Li Shimin already knew everything that happened in the Gao family, and what he heard was the most authentic version.
Because it was real, Li Shimin became more and more uneasy, a cold sweat broke out on his back, his hands and feet were cold, and the eunuch dressed him in a court gon before standing in the mirror, pursed his lips without saying a word, and didn't know what to think.
Li Shimin had no way to doubt the authenticity of the Gao family's haunting, countless pairs of eyes saw it, countless pairs of ears heard it, and it was impossible to spread rumors.
The ghost fire is actually real, and the Yin soldiers are also real, is there really such a thing as retribution in the world?
If this is really the case, what kind of retribution will he Li Shimin face when Xuanwumen killed his brother and killed his brother?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but tremble a few times, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Yes, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, who swept the world and was invincible, was also afraid, words like Great Shengming, half of them were his own efforts, and half of them were the renderings of others, Li Shimin was also a mortal after all, and he would not be less emotional, and he would be afraid of such strange things.
The melodious and long bell came into the Manna Hall, Li Shimin came back to his senses, looked at the still dark night outside the hall, pursed his lips, and the fear in Fang Cai's eyes flashed away.
Wearing a dragon robe, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty above tens of thousands of people, and in the eyes of the emperor, the slightest fear is never allowed.

PS: I didn't get up until I slept in the morning, and I watched three more today, and I tried to make up for what I owed yesterday...... This is the first update...... (To be continued......
Chapter 263: The Marriage Is Over
? The atmosphere of the court meeting was very strange, and it was also expected by Li Shimin.
The courtiers looked at each other differently, staring at people uncomfortably.
There was an accident in Princess Dongyang's mansion, something happened to the Gao family, and it was this kind of supernatural and ghostly thing, coupled with the retribution rumors circulating everywhere in Chang'an a few days ago, Li Shimin only felt like a mang on his back, but he could only try to stay calm and calm.
If a haunted is only a haunted, it is at best an anecdote and a joke, but if a haunted is more than a haunted, the matter is serious. What really punishes the heart is this statement about retribution.
If something happened to Dongyang and the Gao family, other people's eyes would only notice him Li Shimin.
The change of Xuanwu Gate is inevitably mentioned again, Gao Shilian killed in Fanglin Gate, more than 5,000 soldiers became a stepping stone to pave the merits of the Gao family, after 20 years, the Gao family suffered retribution, five people died overnight, the head of the family Gao Shilian fell ill, and the eldest son Gao Shi went crazy.
The Gao family has been retributed, what about him Li Shimin? Outside the Fanglin Gate back then, Gao Shilian was only an auxiliary attack, and the Xuanwu Gate was the frontal battlefield, more than 5,000 soldiers died in the Fanglin Gate, and more died in the Xuanwu Gate, will he Li Shimin also have retribution?
This question made Li Shimin restless, he knows his past better than anyone else, he is very beautiful in this life, from the beginning of the Li family's rebellion against the Sui, to the enthronement of the emperor and the heavenly khan who became the emperor of all nations, his life will always be only glory and merit, full of flashes
It's just eleven years ago that he did the most disgraceful thing, which not only became the biggest stain on his life, but also became the haze of all the subjects in the Tang Zhenguan year.
This matter cannot be uncovered in any way.
Killing his brother, killing his brother, forcing his father to abdicate, that day, unkindness, injustice and filial piety. He did almost all of it.
The Gao family suffered this evil retribution after killing 5,000 people, what about him Li Shimin? When will retribution come?
The atmosphere at the court meeting was solemn and weird, and the monarch tried to pretend that nothing happened, a little
