The eighth day of August in the second year of Yonghui.

Chang'an City.

Simon.

Early in the morning, there was a long line of people waiting to be allowed into the city.

As soon as the hour came, the soldiers defending the city also began to prepare for the inspection and entry into the city.

Suddenly, I don't know who screamed first:

"Ahh

What is that?!

Is it a person? ”

This cries were followed by an exclamation, followed by a great commotion.

And when the general defending the city hurried out of the city to see, he couldn't help but gasp:

I saw a snow-white and dustless figure on the tall Chang'an city wall, like a fish caught on a hook, swinging leisurely by the city gate.

……

Half an hour later.

Tai Chi Palace.

On the Tai Chi Temple.

Hearing the news from the soldiers at the city gate, for a while, the ministers all changed their faces.

And Li Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then became furious:

"Bold!!

Who's the bandit?!

dared to openly kill people at the gate of the Tang Dynasty and at the feet of the Son of Heaven!!

and hangs people in ...... Hanging on ......"

At this point, he was already uncontrollably holding his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, the left and right panicked forward to help.

De'an even shouted at the Imperial Doctor, and for a while, there was chaos upwards.

Everyone's faces were full of uneasiness, and there were only three people looking at the pale-faced Tang Tianzi with a thoughtful expression.

…… The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, who stands side by side with him, and ......

In the last column of the ministers, Di Renjie was standing.

A moment later.

Because of such a sudden incident, the early dynasty was forced to end early.

Li Zhi was unwell and was hurriedly sent to the Taiji Hall to sleep and rest well.

And the adults, because of the discord of the Holy Dragon's body, coupled with such a major event, they couldn't help but feel uneasy, and they didn't dare to leave, and they couldn't even change into court clothes.

Among these people, the most stable is the eldest grandson Wuji.

On the side, following him was Yu Suiliang, who was transferred back to Beijing for less than two or three days as the last official.

"What does the teacher think? The matter? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, but he was silent.

After a while, he spoke, but said:

"Go and find out who is hanging from the city gate, and what is the origin."

"Yes."

Yu Suiliang answered, then quietly retreated and went to prepare.

On the other side, Li Ji, who was watching the movement from a distance, couldn't help but smile faintly, turned around and walked inside.

Bypassing the crowd and past the lower-level officials who were interested in greeting him, he nodded lightly and walked towards the Hongwen Pavilion.

When he entered his own official dormitory in the Hongwen Pavilion (the officials of the Tang Dynasty were in the interior, that is, the place where the inner palace could change court clothes and live temporarily), he closed the door.

Walking to the table and putting down Yugui in his hand, he continued to wait in silence.

It didn't take long for a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The sound that was no longer full of fireworks sounded, and Li Ji smiled as the door was pushed open, and a young man dressed in a strong suit and a shrewd face walked in.

"Xiaguan Li Yun, meet the British duke!"

Li Yun swept the hem of his clothes and bowed down in a dashing manner.

Li Ji laughed, and hurriedly reached out to help him up:

"Hurry up, hurry up...... There are no outsiders here, and General Li really doesn't need such a big gift. ”

Li Yun saw that Li Ji was so cordial, but it was not good to forcibly kneel down and bow again, so after repeating the salute, he followed Li Ji's instructions and sat opposite Li Ji as the guest of honor.

Li Ji said with a smile:

"I have heard for a long time that there is a man surnamed Li Shibalang, all of whom are excellent in martial arts, shrewd and capable, and are better at attacking and strategizing......

When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name.

Oh......

Brother Li gave me the Tang Dynasty, and also left a lot of treasures to the Lord! ”

Li Yunhan thanked with a smile:

"The reputation of the Duke of the country is too good, and we are a few brothers, and we dare not be ashamed."

After another polite referent, Li Ji suddenly changed his words and went straight to the road:

"General Li came here today, but I'm afraid it's still for the hanged man in Chang'an City?"

Li Yun's eyes froze, he glanced at Li Ji carefully, only glanced at him, and said:

"Before the lord came, he also specially instructed that in front of the prince, you must not behave trickedly......

Sure enough, the Lord is holy, and the prince of the country is even more judgmental like a god.

Yes, the lower officials are here, and they are coming for the thief. ”

Li Ji raised his eyebrows, thought about it for a while, but said slowly:

"Speaking of which......

If this person is a monk, but he still asks General Li to punish him like this, and the Lord is arranging it like this today, so he makes a noise......

Presumably, he has a relationship with someone who shouldn't have something to do with him? ”

Li Yun nodded and said softly:

"This bald law name is Ganan, which was originally a wild monk who flowed to Beijing from other provinces (Tang Shizun Dao degraded Buddha. If you are not a monk, you must also have a Dharma seal or a pestle engraved with personal information such as your name and the number in the temple. This set of procedures is equivalent to a modern personal identity card. But there are also some people, although they are called monks, but they have not been formally ordained at all, and there is no temple to rely on, but they just look for some people who can enter with money everywhere, or they can enter small temples and small temples to help with work. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were many wild monks, and even became the cover of some bandits and bullies, and the same situation was not until Wu Zetian came to power, and the Buddhism was greatly regulated, but the habit of wild monks has been endless, until the Tang Wuzong period, this situation is still very common. Later, because of some favors from the presiding officer of the Jialuo Temple in the south of the city, he gave him the status of a monk and taught him to have a place to live in the Jialuo Temple.

But the wild monk is a wild monk in the end, and the six roots are not pure, so he naturally wants to cause trouble everywhere. ”

Li Ji nodded, and looked at Li Yundao again:

"When the old man was free, he also heard the soldiers who guarded the city say that Naganan was a very famous figure in the capital......

Especially among the wives and daughters of aristocratic families, they are extremely favored......

I'm afraid, most of it is for some reason, right? ”

Li Yun nodded, and said:

"This thief is actually six impure, and he has a pair of passable skins, and the abbot of Nagara Temple is a snobbish person, so they naturally hit it off.

The wives and daughters in the west of the city who have a little bit of wealth and fame know him a lot, and there are not a few who have a close personal relationship with him.

It's okay to be so filthy and noble, who knows that this thief is not satisfied, and knows that a little lady from a noble family he knows is a distant relative of Prime Minister Fang, and after Prime Minister Fang died, he was particularly loved by Princess Gaoyang, and after frequently entering and leaving Princess Gaoyang's mansion, he actually found a way to let the little lady bring herself into the princess's mansion......"

Speaking of this, Li Yun was already embarrassed.

Li Ji also understood, and sighed:

"When the first emperor was dying, he was furious because of Princess Gaoyang and the debate, and even secretly killed him......

But to say a word of conscience, what happened back then, it was the emperor who wronged the princess.

After all, if there is anything wrong between the debate machine and the princess......

can only say that he should not explore the heavens for the princess in vain to prove the changes in the inner palace.

…… The old man who debated the machine had also seen it, and to make it clear, the whole wooden monk who only cared about chanting scriptures and preaching Buddha, although he also had a good skin like his master, but what he was thinking about in his heart was only the word Buddha.

It was his good skin that attracted the princess to think about it, but he didn't sit still......

What happened back then was just a plan by the first emperor to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys in order to somewhat restrain his master and warn Princess Gaoyang......

Who knows, but it caused the princess not to give birth to a lot of flowers, since the first emperor went, he actually had some thoughts about these handsome young disciples of Buddhism......

Since this Canaan has such a heart, and has given birth to a good skin, he naturally pleases the princess. ”

Li Yun nodded, and said:

"Exactly.

Even this thief bald got a name, called 'Xiang Monk'.

That's not all, he was still bold and reckless, knowing that the princess and King Han were plotting for private gain, and it was for rebellion, and he even took the initiative to take the initiative to deliver the news......

Naturally, the Lord will not tolerate him. ”

Li Jizheng said:

That is his own destruction.

The lord is lenient, and when the first emperor was there, the princess was also wronged many times, and she had her sister in her heart, so she would naturally treat her well......

But this thief still wants to interfere in such political and national affairs......

In addition, in recent days, due to the fact that Wu Niangzi is pregnant, the matter of Lichu is treacherous, and everyone in the court is ready to move......

With the Lord's mind, at this moment, it is natural to follow the example of the first emperor and make an example, so that at least after the martial lady gives birth safely, the mother and child will be safe and then make plans.

And he is acting at such times......

Naturally, the Lord is going to take him as an example.

It's just that the old man doesn't understand......

Why did the Lord make such a big fuss that he hung people above the gates......

But in order to avoid the eldest grandson? ”

Li Yun nodded and sighed:

"Sure enough, nothing is out of the eyes of the British public.

Alas......

Since the eldest grandson Chong was reprimanded and Yu Suiliang was demoted, Uncle Yuan has been uncharacteristically silent, which is also the uneasiness of the sect leader.

That's why I did it......

It's just that because the soldiers who defended the city to the end were old generals under the command of the British Princess, not to mention that the Lord didn't want to hide it from the British Prince, so he came to Li Yunte to inform the British Duke of the matter, and asked the British Duke to try to settle the matter. ”

Li Ji nodded, but shook his head and smiled:

"The lord really looks down on the old man, and as a subordinate, such a trivial matter naturally has to be arranged.

After General Li was also asked to turn around, he reported to the lord that everything had already been arranged properly, and he was asked not to worry. ”

Li Yun was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he understand, and sighed:

"Sure enough, the British god has judged people......

I already knew what was happening today......"

Li Ji smiled lightly.
