The night is like iron

In the night, Chang'an City is like a sleeping giant, its huge body has not turned over once, it sleeps with the earth, and protects the weak people in it.

A dark cloud obscured the bright moon at some point, so that it could not release its soft moonlight, there were no stars in the sky tonight for it, when the only moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, the entire Chang'an City fell into absolute darkness.

Liu Tiannan hadn't fallen asleep at this time, and when he recalled what Li Yuerong had said to him, he fell into silence at this time.

"Taifu, Yue Rong hopes you can help me this time."

According to Fang Tang's plan, Li Yuerong told Liu Tiannan the fact that it was not the truth, and when Liu Tiannan understood that Li Yuerong came for Li Xian, he was also a little embarrassed

The affairs of the heavenly family are absolutely not allowed to be involved as a courtier, even if he is a courtier like himself and trusted and favored by His Majesty, Liu Tiannan does not dare to participate in it without authorization.

Jun is a king, a minister is a minister, the monarch and the minister have a very clear boundary in Liu Tiannan's eyes, he can forget to sleep and eat for state affairs, and even smear his liver and brain, but for Tang Jingzong's private affairs, or family affairs, he is unwilling to participate in it.

But although the matter entrusted by Li Yuerong is a real private matter, this time Liu Tiannan decided to make a move.

The coup d'état of the king of Thailand and the destruction of the two princes started at some point, not only the people had a lot of rumors about it, but even Liu Tiannan in the court felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Maybe it's because he is getting older, so he thinks about more things, but at this time, Liu Tiannan has a worry about the court.

If there are many gossips, this will slowly become a fact, and there is no reason to say that the three of them have become tigers.

His Majesty offended the face of heaven, causing the heavens to punish him one after another, this news did not spread on the surface, but in the secret it entered the ears of the people in a very fast and unstoppable attitude.

Water can carry boats, but it can also capsize boats, and if even the people begin to question His Majesty's leadership, then the whole country is strong, and what can it be?

The King of Thailand incident was the beginning of all the rumors, and the Li Xian incident intensified the spread of this news, and at this time, the arrival of Li Yuerong and the things she entrusted made Liu Tiannan have the idea of ending everything

"Your Highness, what do you want the minister to do?"

Liu Tiannan said slowly, and after hearing Liu Tiannan's intention to help him, Li Yuerong also spoke a little hurriedly

"Taifu, Yue Rong just wants you to tell Your Majesty what I said earlier."

"Tell your majesty? Then why didn't His Highness go by himself? ”

Liu Tiannan asked slightly puzzled, but when he saw the helplessness in Li Yuerong's eyes, he seemed to understand something.

"No wonder, no wonder His Highness wants to ask the old minister to help with this." Liu Tiannan, who had already figured it out, shook his head helplessly at this time

With a slightly serious face, Li Yuerong also opened her mouth at this time

"Taifu is the head of the Chinese officials of the court, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, if even you question the matter of your brother, then Your Majesty will definitely reconsider this, although Yuerong is favored by His Majesty, but Yuerong is not as good as Taifu in the matter of brother"

Li Yuerong told the truth, and after Liu Tiannan heard it, he didn't have any response for the time being, and after a while, Liu Tiannan, who had already made a decision in his heart, said slowly at this time

"That's it, this matter should be over, and tomorrow the old minister will enter the palace."

"Thank you, Taifu!"

Liu Tiannan said At this time, Li Yuerong immediately got up and saluted him, and Liu Tiannan immediately returned the salute after seeing it, but when he saw Li Yuerong's expression that he still had something to say, he also couldn't help but chase after him

"What hasn't Your Highness said yet?"

After seeing Liu Tiannan's hesitation, Li Yuerong also didn't know how to hand over to him the evidence that Fang Tang had given him the tax silver that he had embezzled for King Jin.

Li Yuerong can confirm that as soon as this evidence comes out, then King Jin will definitely not have a chance to turn over, but King Jin, who lost everything at that time, if he tells His Majesty about his brother, then his brother will fall into a crisis again, and even more serious than the two princes this time!

Bullying the monarch and pretending to be a member of the heavenly family, Li Yuerong didn't dare to imagine how angry His Majesty would be!

But if he didn't make a move, then Fang Tang, who had been clearly staying out of the matter, would have to worry about his life, whether it was a relative or a friend, which put Li Yuerong in a dilemma

Although Liu Tiannan on the side didn't know what Li Yuerong was struggling with, she was now telling Liu Tiannan with a painful expression that this matter was more important than the matter she entrusted herself to enter the palace.

didn't open her mouth to urge Li Yuerong, Liu Tiannan silently filled her with tea.

The face is constantly alternating back and forth, sometimes confused, sometimes painful, but no matter how it changes, in the end, Li Yuerong has to have her own choice

"Taifu"

Li Yuerong opened her mouth this time as if she had exhausted all her strength, and in an instant, her body, which was still straight, had already bent significantly, and after Liu Tiannan saw that Li Yuerong was about to speak, he also listened carefully

"Taifu, when you go to the palace tomorrow, I will take the trouble to hand over this thing to Your Majesty."

As she spoke, Li Yuerong took out the thin page of paper and put it in front of Liu Tiannan

"Your Highness, what is this ......" Picking up the page that Li Yuerong took out, Liu Tiannan looked at it and asked, but when he glanced at the accounts recorded on the paper, he couldn't calm down anymore

………

Liu Tiannan, who was alone in the room, felt that the room was a little stuffy, so he walked to the window, opened the window, and looked out

It was pitch black, except for the light from the lanterns hanging outside the house, there was no brightness at the moment, and when I looked up at the sky, it turned out to be pitch black.

The bright moon wanted to get rid of the dark clouds in front of it and return to its own sky, but the dark clouds seemed to rely on it, covering its body and refusing to leave a step.

The faint moonlight broke through the obstruction of the dark clouds with difficulty, and it appeared again in the vast night sky, but for the whole sky and the whole earth, this bit of moonlight was like a drop in the bucket, and it had no effect.

Retracted his gaze, came to the tea table and picked up the piece of paper left by Li Yuerong, Liu Tiannan's heart was extremely heavy, and the reason why he was like this was not because he hated himself just to know the truth, at this moment he was feeling sad for Tang Jingzong in the Taiji Palace

At present, the son who is most valued by himself has done something no less than that of the son who is far away in Xizhou, and can he bear it again for His Majesty, who was once extremely powerful, but now is aging physically and mentally?

Can you withstand the betrayal of your son again! Can you recover to the ambitions of the past at one time!

After a long sigh, Liu Tiannan put away the piece of paper that upset him, and then looked up at the sky again, but at this time, Liu Tiannan found that the figure of the moon in the sky was getting clearer and clearer

………

At the end of the day's travel, after Fang Tang took the medicine, he also went to bed early.

Earlier in the negotiation with King Jin, although Fang Tang's face did not change, every minute there was tormenting his mind, and then he was giving advice to Li Yuerong, this day can be described as a long time for Fang Tang, who was physically weak

After freshening up, Fang Tang lay in the warm room and finally began to rest, but for some reason, Fang Tang, who was obviously sleepy, couldn't sleep, and inexplicable panic kept emerging in his heart, which made Fang Tang unable to feel at ease

"Ahem"

At this moment, his body was still in a weak state, and after coughing a few times to dissolve the discomfort in his chest, Fang Tang, whose eyes were already slightly accustomed to the darkness, found the tea table in the dark in thick clothes

Pouring himself a cup of tea with a temperature and taking a sip, Fang Tang also habitually looked at the window

"Hmm...... It looks like someone has just passed. A vague figure had just flashed over the closed window, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were used to the dark, Fang Tang wouldn't have noticed it

Here, only Wang Lun lives with him on weekdays, and because he was unwell last night and suddenly vomited blood, Su Yu also asked Zhou Xiaoer and Qin Tang to come over and take care of himself together with Wang Lun.

But at this time, it was already the middle of the night, and it stands to reason that the three of them had already fallen asleep, if there was really something to find themselves, but they would never sneak around, could it be that someone in the family broke in?

Thinking of this time, Fang Tang was secretly vigilant in his heart, slowly stood up, and then carefully came to the gap between the back of the bed and the wall, Fang Tang also looked at the door sideways

During the time of a pillar of incense, Fang Tang did not relax, he knew that he had reached the point where he had become immortal with the King of Jin, and in the past, he still had an account book in his hand that could be used as a threat, but now, Fang Tang, who had nothing in his hands, must be vigilant enough against any disturbances

Otherwise, Fang Tang himself didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate he would have.

In the room, it was so quiet that only Fang Tang and his slow breathing could be heard, and after Fang Tang didn't react for a long time, Fang Tang also felt that he was overly vigilant.

With a long breath, Fang Tang also shook his head and prepared to continue resting, but just as Fang Tang was relaxing, the windows and doors were suddenly broken, and two pitch-black figures quickly entered from the outside

A cold wind suddenly blew into the house, and as soon as the two unknown people came in and saw Fang Tang, they raised the long knives in their hands and went straight to Fang Tang

The unprecedented chill in his heart made Fang Tang tremble, but this was definitely not the time to relax, if he didn't do anything, then it was very likely that he would really die here

"Someone!"

When the two black shadows rushed towards him, Fang Tang let out his loudest cry for help, and this hoarse shout also woke up Zhou Xiaoer Qin Tang and the guards sent by Li Yuerong to protect Fang Tang's safety!

One left and one right, the two black shadows did not hesitate for a moment because of Fang Tang's shout, at this moment the moon finally broke through the dark clouds and returned to the night sky, and when it first appeared, Fang Tang's first sight was the cold light reflected on the two blades

Almost a subconscious move, after Fang Tang saw the two of them left and right, he immediately flipped over, rolled through the gap between the two, quickly got up, and looked at the broken door in front of his eyes, Fang Tang's desire to survive was also vividly stimulated!

However, as soon as Fang Tang took a step, a long knife appeared behind him, a long knife that was eager for blood

"Poof"

A sound similar to something being stabbed clearly appeared in Fang Tang's ears at this moment, and an indescribable pain made Fang Tang subconsciously look down at his abdomen

A cold knife head appeared in Fang Tang's eyes at this moment, so cold, so chilling

"Hurry up and save Lord Fang!"

Fang Tang felt dizzy at the moment, as if the whole heaven and earth were falling back and forth, when the pain in his body was at its peak, Fang Tang felt not so painful, as if the wound was healing by himself, but even so, Fang Tang felt so tired at this time, and he really wanted to sleep

Sleepiness swept over at this time, and when Fang Tang was about to fall asleep, he found that many people were surrounding him, constantly calling his name, trying to wake him up, but Fang Tang felt so noisy about this

……

In the early morning, the morning party as usual became completely boiling because of three things

Fang Tang, the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau and the lord of the county who was personally canonized by His Majesty, was assassinated in his own mansion and his life and death are still unknown.

A court minister was actually assassinated in his own house, is it possible that today's bandits are so bold and reckless?

"Immediately send Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to investigate this matter, there must be no mistake!"

Recently, a series of events have happened, which makes Tang Jingzong, the emperor, very unpeaceful, but the matter of Fang Tang is just a foreshadowing, and when Liu Tiannan opened his mouth to intercede with Li Xian, this caused another uproar

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Li Xian is the mastermind behind the scenes, there is also no evidence to retract Li Xian's confession, and in the case of no settlement, this matter is also a definitive conclusion in the eyes of everyone!

But at this moment, Taifu Liu Tiannan's discovery made things seem to have taken a new turn, and after King Jin, who was also in the court, saw Liu Tiannan speak for Li Xian, he was also surprised in his heart

"Even the Taifu of the Dynasty can be invited, Fang Tang is so capable!"

And after Tang Jingzong saw what Liu Tiannan said, he understood what Liu Tiannan meant

"Indeed, this matter should be closed." Tang Jingzong said secretly in his heart, and then despite the resistance of the two princes, King Huainong and King Qin, he ordered Li Xian to be released from Dali Temple

However, although it was released, the suspicion on his head was still not removed, and the court meeting seemed to be over at this time, but Liu Tiannan's next words made the entire Ganlu Hall fall into absolute silence

"Your Majesty, last night the firearms bureau supervisor asked the old minister to hand over something to Your Majesty."

After hearing that Liu Tiannan talked about Fang Tang, who was assassinated last night, Tang Jingzong also became cautious, and King Jin, who was also in the Ganlu Palace, heard the word Fang Tang and said it from Liu Tiannan's mouth, his heart was also uneasy

"Fang Tang? …… What is it? Tang Jingzong asked

"Fang Jian is asking the old minister to hand over to His Majesty is ......" said At this time, Liu Tiannan paused and looked at King Jin, and King Jin saw that after Liu Tiannan turned his gaze to himself at this moment, his breathing became more and more rapid

"Yes...... Evidence of the embezzlement of tax silver by His Royal Highness King Jin a year ago! ”

As soon as Liu Tiannan said this, now the entire Ganlu Hall fell into absolute silence, except for the King of Jin who became hideous and gritted his teeth there, no one made any moves

………

Tonight is an extraordinary day for the entire Chang'an City, the firearms bureau supervisor almost died in his own home, which made the people also talk a lot, and kept guessing who did it, but then when they learned that the embezzlement of tax and silver by King Jin a year ago did exist, and the evidence was handed over by Fang Tang, it seemed that all the doubts and puzzles had been answered

Dali Temple, this extraordinary place has another prisoner today, but the King of Jin, who is most likely to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, is imprisoned here, which makes everyone unexpected.

In a solitary cell, King Jin still couldn't accept the fact that he would fail.

Obviously, the account book has been eliminated, but Fang Tang secretly left a hand, which made King Jin eager to rush out and immediately give Fang Tang, who was uncertain about life and death, a few more knives, so that he could completely lose his breath!

The embezzlement of taxes and silver, coupled with the murder of a minister, made King Jin, who was desperate to create a good influence among the people, lose everything he had in an instant! Not only that, but he wants to get the crown prince the most, and I'm afraid he won't get it in his life!

Thinking of this time, King Jin also became extremely hideous and crazy, and just when he had nowhere to vent, Li Yuerong came!

"What? Could it be that you want this king not to say anything about Li Xian pretending to be a member of the heavenly family? No way! It's impossible! It is what you have made this king lose, and how can this king make you happy! ”

"If you pretend to be a heavenly family, Li Xian will definitely die! When my father summons this king, it will be the place where Li Xian will die and have no place to be buried! ”

King Jin's roaring voice has been circling around the room, but Li Yuerong is very calm about this

"You can't say it, and you won't say it." Li Yuerong responded calmly, but after King Jin heard about it, he also sneered

"Why do you think the king won't say it? Will you open your mouth to plead with the king? ”

"No, you won't say it's because you want to save the lives of your children and wives!"

"You...... What do you mean? ”

His eyes were round, King Jin's body was trembling at the moment, and after hearing what Li Yuerong said, King Jin had a little fear and fear for the woman in front of him

"Embezzling tax money, coupled with the murder of the minister, it stands to reason that you should not escape death, but he was not even executed by His Majesty for the rebellious King of Thailand, so you will not fall to the point of separation of the corpse"

"But the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, I am afraid that the two of you will be exiled together, and you will not be able to return to Chang'an City for eternity...... But although you are gone, your net worth is still in Chang'an City. ”

"You are the prince, even if you are exiled, you are still the son of Your Majesty, and your family will still be taken care of by Your Majesty, but don't forget, since Bailong has the ability to kill the entire family of the two princes, then why don't I have that ability?"

"As long as you dare to say anything about my brother, no matter where you are, I will send someone to send the bodies of your wife and children to reunite your family!"

The cold chill was filled in the cell where the two of them were in because of Li Yuerong's words.

Looking at the soul of King Jin, he didn't know that when he was thinking at this time, Li Yuerong said the last word, and then drifted away

"At this point, you must also understand the power, if you really want to protect your children for the safety of their children, then you should shut up forever!"

………

A heavy snowfall seemed to cover everything, covered with snow, not only the entire Chang'an City, as if even the recent events, as well as all the gloom of Chang'an City, it was ready to be buried together

embezzled taxes and silver, murdered ministers, and the final outcome of the king of Jin was the same as that of the king of Thailand, he was exiled thousands of miles away, and without His Majesty's decree, he was not allowed to return to Chang'an for the rest of his life.

However, it may be because of family affection, the wives and children of King Jin, like the original King of Thailand, were left in Chang'an City by Tang Jingzong and taken care of by the Heavenly Family

A prince who is about to become a crown prince finally ends up in exile, and everyone sighs

Li Xian was released from Dali Temple, although the suspicion on his body was not washed away, but the important thing is that the Li family brothers and sisters were finally reunited.

And Li Xian, who came out of Dali Temple, seemed to be a different person, not only talked more, but also became brave in the face of his own feelings.

And after Zhang Ran saw Li Xian's change, he was also thinking about how to help Yuan Manwen and Li Xian all day long, increase the chance of contact, and even go wrong...... The dull Zhang Ran is gone, and for his son's recent busy affairs, Zhang Tianzheng, as his father, is a harsh lesson!

"Pushing his future wife to others, is this son his own or not?"

However, as long as any lesson can keep him from marrying Yuan Manwen, then Zhang Ran is also willing to accept it, so in Zhang's mansion, there will be screams every night, and the sound is so loud that he can't listen to it at all

Fang Tang, who escaped death, finally resigned from all his official titles, but as a price, when there was any problem with the Firearms Bureau, he had to rush. And because of this, Fang Tang, who was originally going to travel with Su Yu, could only live in Youzhou temporarily

In the ordinary courtyard of Youzhou, regardless of the heavy snow falling from the sky, Fang Tang was standing in the courtyard at the moment, looking at the white sky.

At this time, an oil-paper umbrella appeared from his head, and then he turned his head and saw Su Yu holding an oil-paper umbrella appear, Fang Tang held Su Yu's slender hand and smiled slightly

The two smiled softly at each other, and their clasped hands showed no sign of loosening, as if they were going to spend their lives unraveling.

The winter snow not only did not stop at this moment, but there was a tendency to fall bigger and bigger, and gradually the whole courtyard was white, and so was the whole Youzhou, and even the entire Chang'an City, the whole land, all fell into white, white makes people feel happy, white to the world, there is no trace of darkness, only purity......
