Chapter 37 Shunchang's Rebellion

On the twenty-seventh night of the lunar month of the fourth year of the vertical arch, there were thieves who sneaked into the Longmen Post with a book, the kings of traffic, plotted to rebel, Li Shangjin, the king of Ze, Li Lingkui, the king of Lu, Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, and Li Yuanfeng, the king of Qiu, four people concealed and conspired, and were captured by Yousi, and the king of Xu Li Sujie was loyal and brave, and he killed the messenger on the spot, handed in the letter, and the queen of heaven praised it, so that the living Lang Quan Ce led the prince's guard of honor to welcome him, and went to the Eastern Capital with the princess of Gao'an, and feasted on the Vientiane Shrine.

With a few strokes in the history books and countless waves, Quan Ce experienced the first time he worked overtime at night since he took office.

Prime Minister Su Wei, Cen Changqian, Tianguan Shangshu Wu Chenghe, Xia Guanshang Shuwu Sansi, Yushi Taichung Cheng Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Lijingmen Director Hou Sizhi and others entered the palace at night.

Zhou Xing took the lead and impeached Hou Sizhi for killing people and covering up King Xu's crimes, "The Queen of Heaven Mingjian, the person who entered the Xu Wang Post House, not one person, but two people, one is the fugitive Liu Tong's manager, and the other person is the Eastern Capital Qianniu Wei Bei Hu Chang, this person is the confidant of the power policy, when Hu Chang was arrested, the people in Lijingmen shot him to death with random arrows, resulting in failure, and the minister thought that Hou Sizhi and Quan Ce must have colluded"

Hou Sizhi resolutely denied it, rebounded Yushitai with bad intentions, and wantonly slaughtered Lijingmen officials, "The queen of heaven, the minister has other questions, monitoring Longmen Station that night, Yushitai ignores others, and guards the Xu Wang Post House, even if there are four other Wang Gong Post Houses abnormal, they do not move at all, it seems that Xu Wang Post Hall must have an accident, and after the so-called person Hu Chang was killed, the Yu Shi Tai is like crazy, whether they are the eyes and ears of the Queen of Heaven, or the minions of others, it is really puzzling"

Tianguan Shangshu Wu Chenghei said, "The queen of heaven, the nephew thinks that who to monitor and how to monitor, each yamen has its own opinions, blameless, and the feather arrow that shot Hu Chang came from Lijingmen, and the evidence is ironclad."

"The nephew doesn't think so" Wu Sansi looked unusually serious, "No matter how the yamen act, they must take the queen of heaven as their purpose, the Yushitai dereliction of duty first, the slaughter of colleagues last, no matter which case, it is full of selfish interests, how can it be half loyal to the king?" ”

Wu Sansi is a master of figuring out his thoughts, seeing Wu Houlu's approval, his heart is happy, the two old dogs of Yushitai are running for Wu Chenghei, and they are his henchmen, "Nephew, please arrest Zhou and Lai"

Empress Wu didn't nod, turned to look at Quan Ce, "Zuo Shi, what do you think?" ”

"The minister objected" Quan Ce was very happy this time, and the Empress Wu closed her eyes slightly, "Why?" ”

Quan Ce's face was upright, like an outsider, "The minister hears, all good and filial piety come first, regardless of the heart, all evil and adultery are the first, and the action is not the heart, the two of them are loyal, and there is no need to pursue some bias, even if there is malice towards the minister, it is a pity that it has not succeeded, and it is useless and faultless."

"Hahaha, you guys, it's not as good as a yellow-mouthed child" Empress Wu raised her head and laughed, her laughter became clearer and more open-minded, and she returned to the earth in spring, and asked with a smile, "Quan Ce, this matter is about your life and death, you seem to be very calm?" ”

"The minister is calm, because the minister knows that the minister has not written a letter, nor has he sent a messenger" Quan Ce is calm and constant, this is said with words, he has not written a letter, because he knows that Wu Yanxiu wants to harm him, and he will definitely write for him, the person he sent is not a messenger, but an assassin, who is going to assassinate, if King Xu wants to live, he must kill him, and he must plant the letter he received on his head and get rid of it completely.

This plan not only tested the guards around King Xu, but also tested the mind of King Xu himself, but fortunately, he passed it.

"Good" Queen of Heaven brushed her sleeves and got up, "Hu Chang trespassed into the Wanggong Post House, wiped out the nine clans, the ghost of the fugitive Liu Tong is not gone, the royal history Taihai is captured, King Ze and other four kings are ungrateful and ungrateful, Lijingmen is strictly interrogated, track down the same party, King Xu is loyal, the right policy, you take a trip to the Longmen Post for me"

"The Minister's Decree" Quan Ce knelt on his knees and kowtowed, put down the big stone in his heart, but he was no longer calm, his limbs were weak, he trembled, and he stood several times, but he couldn't stand up.

This situation is in full view of the Empress Wu.

A crystal jade hand stretched out in front of him, it was Shangguan Wan'er.

"Xiaguan is ugly" Quan Ce was stunned, holding her hand and standing up, Shangguan Wan'er smiled at him, and led many palace maids to leave.

The prime minister and the monks left first, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen arched their hands, smiling but not smiling, "Thank you Quan Zuoshi"

Quan Ce's face did not move, and he returned the salute, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avoid complications, he wouldn't have said these words, he wasn't sincere in helping, and they didn't thank each other sincerely, just perfunctory to each other.

"Thank you to Quan Zuoshi" Hou Sizhi also thanked him, the Empress Wu did not say who was right and who was wrong, but the duties assigned by the decree implied praise and disapproval, the imperial history of Taihai caught Liu Tong, looking for a needle in a haystack, thankless, Lijingmen was responsible for interrogating the four kings, this is a good errand for meritorious service.

Hou Sizhi's thanks were not sincere, and there was still a little anger on his face, "I don't know how the official can make Zuo Shi value it so much?" ”

Quan Ce knew that he was talking about those feather arrows that blamed Lijingmen, this was an idle chess, Wu Yanxiu's messenger must die, how to die is arbitrary, but I didn't expect the people of Yushitai to be so popular, and they actually fought with Lijingmen for this, and immediately pretended not to understand, "The most heart-wrenching thing about Hou Yushi is that he has a good command and capable subordinates, and Yushitai is so constrained, he can still catch the rebels"

"Hmph, Quan Zuoshi's subordinates are not satisfactory" Hou Sizhi snorted coldly and revealed his scars.

Quan Ce smiled bitterly and was speechless, Hu Chang, that is, in the Eastern Capital Xuanren Gate to block Quan Yi's preparation, because of the allusion to the execution of twenty military sticks, it is known, but it is too much to say that it is his henchman, he can use Liu Tong's housekeeper to threaten him to die, Wu Yanxiu coerced Hu Chang to betray him, it is not a difficult thing, in the same world, it is not easy for anyone to live.

Hou Sizhi didn't say anything more and hurried out of the palace.

Longmen Station, Chunguan Yamen finally brought the order of the Empress Wu, Xu Wanggong went to Luoyang on his own, temporarily placed Shangyang Palace, after the feast of Zhengdan, there was another will to add the seal and change the seal, and the matter was returned to the domain.

The princes and princes received the decree, each breathed a sigh of relief, and kept the clouds open to see the moon, this result was much better than they intended, kneeling down to thank the queen of heaven, the true feelings, not adulterated at all.

After a while, a huge team came to Chang'an, half of which was a murderous black-clothed official, and half was a splendid prince's honor guard, and all the princes looked forward to it on the side of the official road.

The black-clothed officials rushed in, and took off the family members of Li Shangjin, the king of Ze, and others, including the slaves, all of them in flail and locks, and stuffed them into a narrow threshold car, which was not enough, and several people were piled together, and the slaves and masters were mixed, and the skin and flesh were connected, and the body was twisted.

The officials were rude, the slightest disobedience, they were whipped and beaten angrily, women and children's families, and the crying was shocking.

Quan Ce paused for a long time in the crying, his heart twitched, the letter from the four of them was sent by his people, in order to distract the attention of the cool officials, and also to highlight Li Sujie's loyalty.

They had the opportunity to dispose of that letter, or burn it, or turn it in, but they didn't, they hid it, and maybe they took the blame for it?

Even if he didn't intervene, they would eventually be harmed by the cool officials, and he at least saved King Xu, with no merit?

Quan Ce's whole body burned, and he tried to confess himself, it wasn't me, it wasn't me who hurt them.

"Zuo Shi?" Luan Yi reminded him gently, Quan Ce shuddered, rubbed his cheeks, came to Xu Wang Li Sujie, bowed down and bowed, "Child Quan Ce, meet your uncle"

"Da Lang has grown up, ...... here" King Xu saw the honor guard behind him.

"The child was ordered by the queen of heaven to welcome his uncle's family to the Eastern Capital" Quan Ce stretched out his hand to invite.

King Xu didn't say a word, only said one word, "good" and went straight to the chariot, and even ignored his many wives and concubines.

Quan Ce arranged for Luan Yi's guards to go and invite them one by one.

The guard of honor set off, and the sill car also set off, accompanying each other.

Empress Wu put the eight characters of those who follow her and those who oppose her die, and they are full of official roads between the two capitals.
