Chapter 82: Cockfighting
The execution of the Shu Cong clan still caused a sensation in the entire capital, and people were more curious about the criminal law.
Five horses tied Shi Shucong's limbs and heads, and as several horsemen raised their whips, Shi Shucong was torn apart in an instant.
Shi Tai was not so lucky, in order to appease the people, Zhu Wen blamed Shi Tai to kill Zhaozong's executioner, and it took Shi Tai half a day to get angry.
It is said that before his execution, Uncle Cong shouted: "Sell my life to stop the slander of the world, what is God's reason!" If you are worried about this, you want your children and grandchildren to live forever, but what? ”
It means that you killed Lao Tzu and wanted to block the mouths of the people in the world. Does it still make sense, Lao Tzu is like this, you still want future generations to continue your hegemony, is it possible?
Li Ji is quite a bastard, really. He unilaterally tore up the verbal agreement and sold Zhao Yan's custody of Xiao Taohong.
It is said that Princess Changle was carrying a kitchen knife all over the capital to look for Zhao Yan, and she was caught and castrated with one word.
Then Zhao Yan ran away, ran away.
A dignified privy envoy actually hid like this, which became a big laughing stock in the capital.
Liang Wangfu.
Princess Changle was sprinkling, still holding her kitchen knife in her hand: "Daddy, you have to make decisions for your daughter." This plague-stricken bitch looks loyal and useless on weekdays, and he never wanted to secretly carry his daughter behind his back to do this shameless deed. I beg my father to send someone to find this guy, I will kill this conscience person, woo woo woo~"
"That's it!" Zhu Wen said angrily: "If you hadn't been too strict with him on weekdays, would he have seen you like a mouse seeing a cat." You are doing it yourself, you don't treat him as a human being, and outsiders won't give him a good face. ”
Probably even Zhu Wen can't stand it, Zhao Yan usually shows off his power in front of outsiders, but in the Zhu Wen family, he is a man with his tail between his legs.
"I don't follow, I don't follow, Daddy, how can you favor this rotten and useless mouthful. He can't find the vixen behind my back, I want to find him and hack him to death! With that, Princess Changle rushed out with his kitchen knife again.
Zhu Wen frowned, at the moment, he really didn't care about the of his daughter and his wife. But Zhao Yan was a privy envoy, he ran away, and the position of privy envoy became vacant.
You must know that the privy envoy has high power, and he has to rely on the privy envoy to mediate among the Qingliu ministers when Zhu Wen ascends the throne. Originally, he didn't expect much from this son-in-law, and just hoped that he wouldn't make any trouble when he ascended the throne, but now that the privy envoy is hiding, there will be a lot of inconvenience when he ascends the throne.
The Liang Wangfu has been crowded recently, and these people are all doing this work for Zhu Wen's plot to rebel. Mr. Mo Long even stopped his work and stayed in the mansion to give advice to Zhu Wen.
"Mr. Moron, the family is ashamed, how should you decide the position of privy envoy?" Zhu Wen asked.
Mr. Mo Long's feather fan shook lightly: "The privy envoy is an important duty of the imperial court, and it is indispensable for a day. Mo Long thought that Master Kong Linkong was the right person. ”
"Him?" Zhu Wen thought about it and shook his head again: "Kong Jie has been promoted to the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army and the commander of the Ma Bu Army.
"What about Master Pei Shupei?" Mo Long asked again.
Zhu Wen still shook his head: "Pei Shu is a stable person, but he is not a good candidate. But the Pei family is a famous family, and he has a great influence in Beijing, and the king is afraid that he will inevitably be pampered, what do you think of Zhang Wenwei? ”
The clan has dominated the political system of the dynasties since the Han Dynasty, and after the Huangchao Rebellion, the gate valve was devastated. Although the Qinghe Cui family and the Hedong Cui family no longer have the influence they used to have, Zhu Wen still doesn't want Pei Shu to be this privy envoy.
Zhang Wenwei has been reused by Zhu Wen since the beginning. This time, Zhu Wen wanted to make him a privy envoy, and more importantly, Zhu Wen was still coveting his daughter Zhang Wanxi.
Mo Long smiled lightly: "Zhang Wenwei is cautious, since King Liang thinks he is good, then he will be the privy envoy."
Zhu Wen was very happy: "Okay, the herald Zhongshu Province, tomorrow let Zhang Wenwei replace Zhao Yan and be promoted to the post of privy envoy."
After all, he wanted to usurp the throne, Zhu Wen was still quite cautious, and he summoned Duan Hu: "What has the emperor been doing recently?"
Duan Hu replied truthfully: "Your Majesty is no different from the past, except for alchemy in the palace, which is to train those two dozen strong men to wrestle. Occasionally when I go out of the palace, I also go to the Guangwang Mansion to find Zhu Youneng's son to fight crickets, oh, Your Majesty has recently become obsessed with another thing. ”
"What's that?" Zhu Wen hurriedly asked, the closer he got to the throne, the more nervous he became, for fear that Xiao Duanjun would do some tricks.
But then Duan Hu's words completely dispelled Zhu Wen's doubts: "Your Majesty has recently become obsessed with cockfighting."
"W-What?" Zhu Wen thought he had misheard.
"Your Majesty frequently goes in and out of the palace in Emerald Lane, picking out a big rooster with long legs and a thin neck and shiny coat, and then goes to find someone to fight cocks. It's just that His Majesty's craftsmanship stinks, and he lost a lot of money, and in the end, ...... in the end" Duan Hu didn't dare to say any further.
"The last thing?" Zhu Wen asked angrily.
"In the end, Your Majesty recorded all the money lost in the cockfight in the account of the Liang Palace."
"What!" Zhu Wen was furious.
Duan Hu hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty went out of the palace to fight cocks with people, and he has been pretending to be a person from Liang Wangfu, and he, he also has a useful silk cloth is also a tribute from Liang Wangfu." Others, others also thought that His Majesty was a certain prince of Liang Wangfu. The villain didn't dare to break it, so he had to escort him. ”
In addition to copper coins, the currency circulating in the Tang Dynasty market was cloth, and valuables were generally traded with cloth.
This Li Ji gave Zhu Wen a lot of money in the name of alchemy last time, so when he left the palace recently, he asked Youwei to go out with a bundle of trapped silk cloth to fight cocks with people.
This cloth comes from the area of Suhu Lake, specially for the use of the Liang Palace, and the people who fight cocks will know that this silk cloth is from the Liang Palace.
Zhu Wen almost exploded his lungs: "This little faint monarch has wronged this king, it is too deceitful!"
Mr. Mo Long next to him smiled: "King Liang is angry, Your Majesty is naughty, isn't it more as we wish, how good is the silk cloth."
Guangwang Mansion, Zhu Quanyu has long been hollowed out. He, the king of Guang, is only in name only, and he has no rights.
What made him most depressed was his own loser Zhu Youneng, he was just a bastard, and he was messing around with His Majesty all day long.
"Neng'er, tell you for your father. Your Majesty is young and has a lot of power, you can't take him badly and let him mess around with you. Zhu Quanyu persuaded bitterly.
Zhu Youneng has enough reasons to fight back against this kind of advice: "Dad, what a country." Jiangshan is at my uncle's place, you see what Your Majesty has today, if he doesn't go out to play with the child, won't he suffocate in the palace. ”
Whenever this happens, Zhu Quanyu sighs: "Alas, the third brother is a wolf, and my old Zhu family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later."
"Dad, uncle, we don't care if he's ambitious or not. Do you think children are naturally playful, I don't want to be in the same stream with them, this world belongs to the Tang Li family, we have to be favored by the emperor, and we should repay each other. Look at what your uncle has done, and we will stay away from these things, so as not to suffer in the future. That's why kids like to play. ”
Zhu Youneng can always find a lot of reasons to convince his father, so Zhu Quanyu immediately agreed: "You are messing around, don't go out and bully people again."
Zhu Youneng agreed: "I know Daddy, Brother Li asked me to go cockfighting, and I went." Prosperity, blessing! Take the mighty general and go! ”
Now Zhu Youneng has got another big rooster and made him a mighty general.
