The pain of losing a daughter, once a madman
At the end of the first month of Tang Yonghui's fifth year.
Gaozong Li Zhi, because of the early death of his beloved daughter, was saddened, and ordered the palace inside and outside to stop drinking and feasting silk and bamboo for ten years to mourn the young daughter.
Both inside and outside the palace are enshrined in the holy will, but under the palace of Wanchun Palace, there is the queen's decree, and the order Pai Xile thinks that it will not be a matter of sending Tang envoys to the capital to make a pilgrimage.
When Gaozong heard this, he was displeased, but because he thought that the harem was precious to the middle palace, and because it was related to the government and politics, he was silent.
……
It's night.
Tai Chi Palace.
In the Spring Palace.
Inside the dormitory.
Li Zhong was dressed in plain white clothes, looked at the front fixedly, and asked Yongan for a while:
"Wanchun Palace, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is arranged.
At most three months, at least one month, what the queen did will be known to the world. ”
Li Zhong nodded, silently, and said abruptly for a while:
"Are you sure that the witch Gu man who was sent into the Taiyuan Wang's Mansion really has no ability?
Don't take it seriously and send a good one in, but it hurt Wu Zhaoyi. ”
"Your Highness is at ease, and Yong'an is saved."
Li Zhong was speechless for a long time, stretched out his hand and only pinched the lost jade in his arms and played with it for a while, before he said slowly:
"That old slave......
What to do now? ”
"Your Highness, have you forgotten?
He had already been slain with the rod. ”
"Of course Hongu knew that he had been slain with the rod......
What Hongu wants to know is, how to dispose of his bones? ”
"This ...... Yongan hadn't heard of it.
However, according to the palace rules, most of them were buried in the wild fox.
Such a way of dying naturally can't be sent to a good place in the light. ”
Li Zhong lowered his eyelids, and said softly after a while:
"You go to a few reliable people, take out a handful of rotten bones from that old slave to the palace, find a few bold butchers and the like, chop the palace into mud piece by piece, and then set a fire and burn it.
As for the slag left over from the burning......"
Li Zhong closed his mouth and said after a long time:
"Just sprinkle it in any river or lake.
Remember clearly, you can't spill it in one place, and you can't not burn it......
Got it? ”
Yong'an's heart was cold, and he said lightly after a while:
"Your Highness, this ...... This is a bone-shattering affair...... But......
But it's a big hurt!
If His Highness hated him, he would just dig up the bones and throw them into the river with hundreds of whips.
This ......"
"Didn't you understand what this palace said?"
Li Zhong suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, such a look made Yongan shudder, and immediately lowered his head and said yes.
Seeing him like this, Li Zhong also sighed, lowered his head, and said softly:
"Hongu knows......
You are also accumulating virtue for this palace.
But Yong'an, born in this emperor's family, if he didn't have this intention, he was afraid that this palace would have died a hundred times.
Therefore, what this palace does is to let those who can't live in this palace know that this palace is not what they do, and it is good and can be bullied.
Got it? ”
Yongan looked at him and nodded yes.
Next.
The first day of February.
Tai Chi Palace.
Tai Chi Hall.
Li Zhi these days, his spirit finally slowly improved, and he was finally able to sit quietly and watch the folds for a while, so De'an gave the folds and sparse notes accumulated in these days early in the morning, and presented them to Li Zhi one by one.
Li Zhi looked at it casually, and then suddenly said:
"These days, why don't you see the British duke?"
"Lord, you have forgotten that a few days ago, the British Duke also talked about Jianzhou."
De'an said softly while serving tea to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi nodded and said:
"But apart from this one, there will be no more......
What is he doing these days? It's so busy. ”
"This ...... Dean doesn't know.
However, I heard that it seems to be very close to several important ministers of Wude in the old years.
It's like the younger brother and nephew of Master Jiang Guogongqu, something big has happened, and the British Duke needs to come forward to help. ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately closed the folded book, looked at De'an carefully, and asked:
"You said that Jiang Guogong's bereaved family is in trouble?
Why don't I see a book? ”
"Lord, you also know the temperament of the twenty-four old princes in this Lingyan Pavilion.
All of them are loyal to the emperor, and they are the heroes of the world, so they naturally don't want to cause more trouble for the lord. ”
Li Zhi frowned and said unhappily:
"Jiang Guogong has been loyal to my Tang Dynasty all his life, and his honesty is difficult for others to beat.
I have always heard that his younger brother and nephews are all truly virtuous and honest loyal generals, why did something happen but did not see the royal history?
What did those people do when they died? ”
Dean hurriedly bowed his head and said:
"Don't blame the Lord...... The imperial historians are on the book, but because the lord has been unwell recently, and several lords of Qutu themselves do not want to bother the lord, so they are not allowed to give it to the lord.
But the lord doesn't have to worry, as soon as the matter came out, Uncle Yuan immediately ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate the case, and be sure to return the innocence of Lord Qu Tugai. ”
Li Zhi was slightly angry, shook his head and said:
"Well, I've been too angry lately......
Fortunately, you stopped the book with your uncle, otherwise with my current mentality, I am afraid that I will make things too big and unwilling.
But what was it that could alarm my uncle and the British duke? ”
Dean Light Road:
"It's ridiculous to say, it's not a distant relative in the Taiyuan Wang's mansion, who fell in love with an innocent orchid in the capital, so he wanted to be a concubine.
Unexpectedly, although the orchid is in the dust, she is also a lover.
And the lover is also dedicated to treating her well, just waiting for her to return, and then she wants to live a good life, so he naturally refuses to watch the person he likes being robbed, so he fights with the gentleman.
As a result, the gentleman relied on the fact that his family was the queen's mother and the head of the clan, and he bullied the weak, beat the orchid lover half to death, and forced the orchid into the house on the street.
This matter made a big fuss in the West Market, and it was just in time for the day when Lord Qu Tugai, who was the Chang'an Order, made a regular tour of the West Market, so he naturally caught it and took the gentleman down.
The Taiyuan Wang clan was unwilling, but in the end, they couldn't overturn the case, so they found a reason, and bit the Lord Qu Tugai when he caught the gentleman's disciple, and let the gentleman's disciple eat some painful things. ”
Li Zhi was unhappy when he heard this, and when he wanted to say it again, he saw that De'an was still continuing, but he didn't speak, but only heard De'an continue:
"The temperament of the old man Qu Tugai, the lord is also known, so naturally he is unwilling to bear this innocent name, and he is even more unwilling to let go of the murderer because of this.
So the two sides froze.
Early yesterday morning, hundreds of people from the Taiyuan Wang clan actually had the same clan as this gentleman, and they all ran to the front of the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion to cry out for injustice.
This matter made a big fuss, and the old man Qu Tugai felt that if he made his own decision, he was afraid that he would attract tongues again, so he went to the master of the book, and asked the lord to make a decision after investigation.
But the lord doesn't have to worry, with the British Duke and the Yuan Uncle, no matter what, he won't let the old man Qu Tugai be wronged.
When De'an came just now, I heard that Uncle Yuan had a big fire because of this incident, and in front of all the senior officials of the court and the central government in the small hall of Yanming Gate, he directly reprimanded those old officials of the Yin Sheng Sect, saying that they had never been able to calm down their family affairs, so they would no longer have to manage the government!
Not only Uncle Yuan, but even the British Duke Xiang, who maintained neutrality among the courtiers, was also annoyed this time, and followed Uncle Yuan to reprimand him.
As soon as he said the old man, the meaning was even more different.
At present, there are already neutral ministers in the DPRK and China, saying that they will abolish the gift of Yin Grace of these children who besiege the Chang'an Mansion! ”
Only then did Li Zhi let out a sigh, nodded and said in annoyance:
"That's fine......
After all, it was embarrassing for his uncle to come forward -- after all, as the head of the Guanlong family, if he insisted on it, it would inevitably lead to criticism as a party dispute.
But if you come forward to the neutral British princess......
That means a different story.
This time, the Taiyuan Wang family should also be punished.
De'an, you pass on my will, once this matter is clear, Dali Temple cuisine, immediately add Qu Tutong and other old ministers to show comfort.
When the seal is added, remember to include Ying Guogong and others. ”
Li Zhi said lightly, but De'an's eyes lit up, and he was surprised and even incoherent:
"Lord, you ...... What are you......
Figured it out? ”
"It's not blocked from the beginning, so what's the point you don't want to understand?"
Li Zhi said lightly:
"My position as the queen has made the Wang family's corpse meal a vegetarian for so many years, and it is time to return to the rightful master.
What's more, right now, she can't even train Zhong'er well to get a result...... It's useless to keep her. ”
De'an was stunned, looked at Li Zhi and said softly:
"The Lord knows everything?"
“…… I never thought that my loyal son could act so viciously......
De'an, would you believe that a child who has just completed his service can understand such a technique?
If someone hadn't deliberately taught him, how could he have acted so viciously?
When a person dies, his bones are broken and ashes are scattered......
Even if the old servant did something that was sorry for him and hurt him too deeply, it wouldn't be like this? ”
Li Zhi sighed:
"One life, can't it be exchanged for his resentment to be quelled?
If he can't get it, then who gave him this resentment? ”
Li Zhi shook his head, looked at De'an and said softly:
"Zhong'er is just a child, and you also watched him grow up......
Once upon a time, he would cry for days when he accidentally stepped on the wings of a little bird.
But now he ......"
Li Zhi shook his head:
"I said that I can't let him go down with the queen anymore.
Otherwise, this child is really completely ruined. ”
Dean nodded:
"The Lord is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young at the moment, if he can follow Wu Zhaoyi to cultivate his body and cultivate his temperament, there may not be no hope.
Whether it is the eldest son of the emperor, the lord always has to worry more about His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth to speak, but said after a while:
"That's it, even if you really want Mei Niang to take him with you...... As long as you don't follow the queen anymore and ruin this child. ”
