Chapter 1191: Dengwen Drum Complains of Grievances
When Du Shiyi's tooth soldiers and the servants of Wannian County Party escorted a large group of emperors and grandchildren back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansions and Baisun Courtyard in Yongjiafang and Xingningfang, and then guarded this place firmly, the news spread to all sides for a while. The biggest reaction is those princes. Except for a few who were blinded by their son, they immediately closed the door and made a cautious appearance, and more people had to connect with each other to explore the meaning behind Du Shiyi's move.
Only the prince's courtyard, which had lost its owner, was still silent and deserted at this sudden change.
I think that after Zhang Liangdi was imprisoned by the crown prince Li Heng, he only let King Guangping and King Jianning go out to run, precisely because one of them was the eldest son and the other was sparse and heroic, and now that both of them have folded in, the rest of the emperors and grandchildren are all silent, who dares to run again? It must be known that since the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, so far, there has not been an official statement about the crown prince Li Heng and the father and son of King Jianning of Guangping!
Zhang Liangdi and Dou Yi gave her a promise, but the most distressed was the princess Cui of Guangping.
Yang Yuyao killed herself, Yang Guozhong was killed, although Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qin's sisters finally escaped a life, but after returning to Chang'an, they were taken away from Mrs. Guo because of the anger of the masses, although the Yang family has not been ordered to move out of the original mansion, but the fields and properties of the ******** over the years have been confiscated one by one, and have been returned to the old owner one after another, and the family account books have also been sealed. Although Yang Qian and Yang Jian are not the worst, they did not abandon the city before, they made a small contribution, and they retained their official positions after winning the title, but they only kept themselves.
The mother's family is so stormy, the Cui family used to be proud of the concubines, but now they can't even keep the position of princess. Her only hope is that Du Shiyi once hugged Li Puppet and once told the soldiers in the army that she could not neglect the orphan of King Guangping.
But now the dragons and phoenixes are eyeing the East Palace, and Du Shiyi's original sentence has been interpreted by many people. If it weren't for the fact that Cui's was like an old cow guarding a calf, protecting the two young children to the death, and even did not hesitate to test the poison with a silver needle every time he ate his diet, and only gave it to his son after eating it himself, otherwise Li Puppet would have been dead for a long time. Therefore, when Qingsi, the most confidant maid around her, came back in a hurry, she had just coaxed her young son to sleep, and was holding her eldest son Li Puppet in her arms and weeping, and she didn't even notice that someone came in.
"Princess, princess!" Qingsi screamed twice, and seeing that the Cui family still hadn't recovered yet, she could only raise her voice and say, "As soon as Du Xiangguo came back, he sent all the emperors and grandsons who blocked his door back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and made it clear for the kings to teach well." Now, Yongjiafang and Xingningfang have all sent additional people to guard the door of the fang, saying that it is strictly forbidden to go out at will. ”
"Du Xiangguo is back?"
Cui Shiden was surprised and delighted. Qingsi said so much, the only thing she remembered in her heart was the fact that Du Shiyi came back! Although it was Du Shiyi who counted the crimes of the Yang family and indulged the forbidden army generals to kill Yang Guozhong, she did not have any good feelings for Yang Guozhong, who refused to respond to her pleas, but remembered the scene when Du Shiyi hugged Li Puppet and spoke for him. It is precisely because of those words that on the way back to Beijing, Chen Xuanli gave special care to her and her two sons, and she was able to gain a foothold after returning to the prince's palace.
Seeing that her master was in such a situation, Qingsi thought that the relationship between the Cui family and her mother Yang Yuqing had now dropped to the freezing point, so she had to sigh and say: "I know that the princess is very grateful to Du Xiangguo for saving the two sons, but he is likely to be just a favor and didn't take it to heart at all, otherwise how could he ignore it from now on?" If the princess really wants to raise the two sons well, she has to find another way. ”
Cui Shi was a person who had no idea, and hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”
Qingsi calmed down, and then said with a heart: "The princess wrote a book to avenge the late prince and King Jianning of Guangping!" ”
"Ahh Cui Shi was really taken aback. Back then, because she was the daughter of Mrs. Korea, Li Longji also liked her a little, but when King Guangping was arrested, she begged her mother, and tried to enter the palace to plead with the Son of Heaven and Yang Yuyao, but she was severely reprimanded. One day husband and wife, even if she knew that King Guangping's accommodation to her was because of the Yang family after all, she was also affectionate to her husband. She didn't dare before, but now, her situation couldn't be worse! So, after the panic and timidity at first hearing about this, she suddenly cheered up.
"Okay, my princess doesn't know which day she will be abolished, for the sake of Da Lang and San Lang, Heng Zhi is just a day now, it's just a death, I write!"
Hearing that Cui Shi really agreed, Qingsi was relieved and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo's pen and ink. Cui's family was born in a family of eunuchs, reading and learning words since childhood, although the literary style is not extremely good, but also quite attained, after lifting the pen and dipping the ink, she gritted her silver teeth, and then worked hard to write a heavy stroke. She was already sad and indignant in her heart, but at this moment, she expressed her heart, and her resentment suddenly fell on this white scroll, and the juanxiu handwriting gradually brought out a sharp stroke.
Qingsi, who was coarse and ink-like, watched from the side, and couldn't help but feel that he was forced to be in a hurry, otherwise Cui's words would never be so intense, and his task could be regarded as complete.
She is a humble maidservant, how could she come up with such a plan to put her to death and then live, of course, someone is behind her back! Thinking about it, no matter how much it will not be worse than the situation at the moment, she thought about it again and again, and only then did she put forward such a proposal to the Cui family. Cui's mother Yang Yuqing is now difficult to protect herself, and Cui's has been very good to her over the years, if something really happens, she will crash to death after making a big fuss, and she will definitely let everyone in the world judge and judge!
After Cui Shi prepared a draft and deleted some things, he copied a copy again, the ink was dry, and the green silk was taken and carefully folded, and a thin bamboo tube was put into his sleeve, and then he said to Cui Shi: "Don't worry, princess, I will send it out." ”
Cui Shi suddenly realized something, and suddenly shouted: "Wait, who are you going to send this thing to?" ”
Qingsi saw that Cui, who was still calm when she had just written, was now pale, so she said word by word: "Don't worry, princess, I won't send anyone, I'll go and beat the drum!" ”
Cui Shiden was shocked, and when she was about to reach out to pull it, she saw that Qingsi had turned around and rushed out of the door. She chased two steps to the door, but she was flustered and weak, and could only watch the figure disappear from sight. At that moment, she slowly slid to the ground, unable to tell whether it was anticipation or something else. It wasn't until something leaned on her back and heard a soft A-Niang that she suddenly shook, turned around and hugged her eldest son Li Puppet, who didn't know when she came over, in her arms.
Now, you can only gamble!
The Dengwen drum in the Tang Dynasty was not as strict as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was no rule that it would flow thousands of miles if it was knocked out. It can be used for people to complain about grievances, and it can also be used for the people to give advice to the imperial court, and it has been playing a corresponding role since it was established in the Gaozong period. Therefore, when Qingsi quietly sneaked out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and came to the Daming Palace to beat the drum, the content of her grievances also spread at an unimaginable speed. From the six departments of the three provinces in the palace to the people of more than 100 squares in Chang'an, almost everyone in Chang'an City knows that Princess Guangping wrote to the crown prince Li Heng and King Jianning of Guangping to avenge their grievances!
This grievance completely tore off the fig leaf of the so-called tyrannical violence of Li Heng and his two sons before!
If it weren't for Dengwengu, Li Longji would still be able to cover up such a thing that he didn't want to mention now, but now, Cui's reckless trouble, it can be regarded as completely bringing this hidden matter to the forefront. He summoned Du Shiyi back with the excuse that he was seriously ill, which was originally with ulterior motives, but his condition has indeed become worse and worse in the past few days, and this drum seems to be beating on his own heart, making him so angry that he almost vomits blood!
"The Yang family...... The Yang family really doesn't have a good thing, I only hate to believe the wrong person! ”
Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji was angry in vain, but he just lowered his head and said nothing. Yang Guozhong died, Yang Yuyao also died, and the remaining Yang family escaped after taking the title, of course Li Longji, who was difficult to protect, couldn't take care of them, and never thought that the Cui family, who was arrogant and incompetent in the past, would be so bold. And he was once rejected by the Son of Heaven for speaking for Li Heng, and now he doesn't want to persuade in vain. Sure enough, after losing his temper with the boss, Li Longji seemed to know that such anger had no effect, and gradually calmed down.
"Go to Xuan Pei Kuan, no, you go directly to sue him, the daughter of the Cui family of the princess of Guangping, who has no virtue and no deeds, and now she criticizes the deceased, has ill intentions, abolished her position as princess, and ordered her to become a nun!"
Gao Lishi raised his head and glanced at Li Longji, seeing that the Son of Heaven was full of fierceness, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't advise at all, bowed down and turned around after agreeing. And his obedient attitude made Li Longji panic for a while. This is different from when he took the title of King Yan in Ma Weiyi, at that time it was in chaos, King Yan was an insignificant person, and the mother family had already declined, since Chen Xuanli acquiesced, any general in the military obviously would not speak for him, so it was done. But now that his message has reached the door of the Chinese book, can he really pass guò?
Even if the Cui family is indeed Yang Yuqing's daughter and the remnant of the Yang family, her complaint can be said to be the voice of many people. Can the momentum of overturning the case for Li Heng's father and son be suppressed?
Li Longji clenched his fists fiercely, thinking of the princes who had visited him in the past few days, and secretly took a deep breath. He has only been away from Chang'an for a few days, and the sky has changed inside and outside the palace, and now he no longer dares to trust the people around him, but he is Gao Lishi, who has been belittled by him, but he can believe that he is loyal, and he will not reveal all his words and deeds to Du Shiyi. Therefore, when he summoned his sons, all of them were guarded by Colliers, and even so, he still only dipped his fingers in water on the table to talk, and did not dare to leave the slightest evidence note, and was afraid that his words would be eavesdropped on by outsiders.
Now, he can't afford to lose anymore!
