Chapter 866: His Majesty Li Er's reaction
Du He turned his face on the spot, which made Li Tai ridicule and ridicule, Li Chengqian was naturally angry and hated and couldn't come to the stage, but he had no face for a while.
However, he still remembered the big things first, and did not go crazy on the spot, nor did he fall for Li Tai's agitation method, but patiently asked Zhao Jie, the rabbit minister, to take someone to salvage Yang Yong's body in person.
Soon, Zhao Jie successfully salvaged Yang Yong's body from the well in the villa and returned to Li Chengqian.
Looking at the body of Yang Yong who died on the ground, Li Chengqian's hatred for Du He increased a little more, and he secretly swore that after he came out of the palace, he would want Du He to look good.
And Li Tai looked at Yang Yong, who was lying on the ground in the well, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief again, and shouted a few lucks again.
In the end, Li Chengqian waved his hand and shouted at Zhao Jie: "Beauty...... No, Zhao Jie, you take a few sons and daughters into the palace with the prince, and escort Li Tai's house and the corpse of Yang Yong, the former Sui remnant, to your father, hmph, today is not only the day of Li Tai's fall from grace, but also the time when the prince regains his father's favor. Of course, it is also indispensable for your Zhao Jie's advice. ”
Zhao Jie was overjoyed, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and today Du He resigned from the post of commander of the personal guard, he could already imagine that after returning to the prince's mansion after leaving the palace, it would be the time when he Zhao Jie successfully took over the commander of the sixth personal guard brigade of the prince's mansion.
As for the crown princess Su Zixuan, hehe, he had secretly thought of dozens of ways to torture and humiliate this.
Suddenly, his heart was not sluggish and excited, and the whole person's spirit was shocked, and he learned Li Chengqian's wave and shouted: "Sons, follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace to offer prisoners and prisoners to receive rewards!" ”
Boom~
This time, Li Chengqian and Zhao Jie took the lead, and a group of soldiers from the Prince's Mansion escorted Li Tai, who was tied up with five flowers, carried Yang Yong's body, and marched out of the Wei Palace, heading towards the palace gate.
……
……
The Royal Palace, the Hall of Ganlu.
After listening to the report of a Royal Forest Military Academy captain wearing a white feather helmet, His Majesty Li Er completely understood what was happening in the Wei Palace.
After the Imperial Forest Military Academy Captain retired, Yu Deshui, the imperial historian in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, also asked to see him at the right time, and was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and reported to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, someone anonymously threw a paper to the Imperial Historical Observatory, saying that Lu Chengqing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and the former Sui Yuxian have been in contact with each other. It is mentioned in the complaint that Yang Yong, the former prince of Sui, is still alive and has been hiding in Lu Shilang's mansion in Chang'an. The matter is big, and the ministers do not dare to be arbitrary, nor do they dare to make a statement, in order to be cautious, the ministers specially entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor. ”
As he spoke, Yu De held the paper in his hand and presented it to His Majesty Li Er, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at the emperor.
Don't look at Yu Deshui's calm and upright face when he speaks, but there is more than the word shock in his heart to describe it, this letter of paper is not anonymous, but from his brother-in-law Huang Ao.
And he knew that the person who instructed his brother-in-law Huang Ao to report and expose Lu Chengqing was Yizhou Hou Guoye.
Yu Deshui didn't want to get involved in this matter, because the word Qiansui has always been a big taboo, and whenever he was involved in the case of the remnants of the Qiansui Dynasty, which time was not a river of blood and corpses everywhere? However, he couldn't resist his brother-in-law Huang Ao's request, and also remembered Guo Ye's kindness that day, so he finally stubbornly followed the report letter.
But he knew that this matter must be handled in a low-key and obscure manner, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar, especially since it not only involved a prince of the former Sui, but also involved Li Tai, the king of Wei, His Majesty's favorite prince.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he received this report letter was to rush into the palace to report to His Majesty Li Er and let His Majesty Li Er deal with it personally, he knew that His Majesty Li Er definitely did not want to expand the situation and make it known to the world.
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er did not open it after receiving the report letter handed by Guo Deshui, but praised it in a satisfied tone: "Lord Yu takes the overall situation into account and knows my thoughts, and I am deeply grateful. Yes, your failure to expand this matter shows that you understand my heart very well. Alas, it's a pity, but it's a pity that I gave birth to two bastards, and I wish everyone in the world knew about it. Don't they know that if Yang Yong lives in the world, it will arouse the nostalgia of the former Sui relics and elders in the government and the opposition? Yu Qing, you have handled this matter quite well, but there is no need to prove conclusive evidence for Lu Chengqing, and there is no need for three sessions of trial, I will give you a commandment......"
Hearing this, Yu Deshui was already secretly rejoicing, but he didn't expect that Guo Ye could still get His Majesty's praise for a kindness, which was really an unexpected blessing. Fortunately, we are old and smart, and we did not make a fuss about the matter in this report letter, but reported it directly to Your Majesty.
He was glad that His Majesty Li Er had already issued an order over there: "Yu Qing, I will give you a verbal message, you go to Qin Qiong, and ask him to transfer five hundred thousand Niu Wei from the palace to Lu Chengqing's mansion and detain Lu Chengqing without moving." ”
Qianniuwei?
This is the Ouchi guard in the palace who directly obeys the emperor's orders, and is the elite of the guards, directly loyal to the emperor himself.
After Yu Deshui recorded the words of His Majesty Li Er, he didn't forget to ask: "Your Majesty, after Lu Chengqing is detained, where will he be held?" Is it the prison of the criminal department, or the prison of Dali Temple? It stands to reason that an important minister of the court with the status of Lu Shilang should be imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple. ”
"Imprisoned?"
A touch of fierceness appeared between His Majesty Li Er's eyebrows, and he said coldly: "How can I still spare his life with this kind of person?" You told Qin Qiong that after taking Lu Chengqing, you don't need to be imprisoned, you will be killed on the spot, as for the whole Lu Mansion, all of them will be connected, and no one will be left! ”
"Huh?"
Yu De's sailor's heart and back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he asked with some horror: "The emperor means that the Lu Mansion is full of doors, and it is all ... All punishments? ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded with a gloomy face, and roared in a low voice: "Yang Yong's matter must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause an uproar." Therefore, I am determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and all the people of Lufu will be executed. ”
"Minister, minister obeys!"
Yu Deshui felt the decisiveness of His Majesty Li Er's words, and felt uncomfortable staying in the Manna Hall for a while, and then he was about to turn around and carry out the holy decree.
As soon as he walked to the door of the hall, His Majesty Li Er suddenly explained again: "Yu Qing, this matter must be carried out in secret, and it is not appropriate to make a fuss, do you understand what I mean?" ”
"Yes, I understand!"
Yu Deshui stopped and turned around, and after responding respectfully, he rushed out of the Manna Palace.
As soon as Yu Deshui left, His Majesty Li Er was still gloomy, and a sense of anger was entangled in his chest, which did not disperse for a long time.
After about a short while, he suddenly shouted at the beaded curtain in the direction of the dormitory in the palace: "Queen, you heard everything, right?" These are the two good sons you gave me. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the soft voice of Empress Changsun actually came from inside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, the concubines have heard it, the Imperial Forest Military Captain and Yu Deshui Yu's report, and the concubines have heard it very well." Alas, Cheng Qian and Tai'er had a really bad quarrel this time, and it made me sad as a mother. ”
What a smart woman the eldest grandson was, when she heard that her husband did not call herself Guanyin, but called the queen, she obviously guessed the anger in her husband's heart, how could she dare to intercede for her two sons at this time.
His Majesty Li Er listened to his wife not intercede for the two unscrupulous sons, and his mood calmed down a little, but his face was still gloomy, he sneered, and scolded: "Although I told Yu Deshui that the founding of the Tang Dynasty is still short, and I am worried that Yang Yong's matter will arouse the nostalgia of the old Sui relics of the government and the opposition, but what worries me more are these two evil obstacles, the queen." At that time, I Xuanwumen personally buried the lives of my two brothers, which was forced to survive. But even so, I still dream back in the middle of the night, and I am often awakened by nightmares. It is precisely because of the changes in the Xuanwu Gate that I have a stain that can never be washed away, I hate it, Queen. But the lessons of the past are in the past, these two unscrupulous people still dare to kill each other, and dare to cause trouble against Xiao Wall, I, I ......"
Knock knock~
A hurried footstep interrupted His Majesty Li Er's emotion, and only one of the chamberlains ran in, it was Dong Shunshun's father-in-law.
Gonggong Shun ran into the palace and shouted in a hurry: "Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led a cadre of personal soldiers from the Prince's Mansion to escort His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and let people carry a corpse into the palace, and asked to see him outside the Ganlu Palace!" ”
"Hahaha......"
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily, and instead of straightening out his father-in-law, he turned his head and looked behind the bead curtain again, and shouted bitterly: "Queen, Queen, this is my crown prince, I still don't know what is wrong, and I even escorted my younger brother to see me. Hahaha, this is my son, this is the prince of the Tang Empire, hahaha......"
His Majesty Li Er's laughter made Empress Changsun feel painful, and the laughter made Shun's father-in-law shudder, which showed that he was already very disappointed in Li Chengqian.
Knock knock~
There was another rush of footsteps, and soon, a chamberlain with a dusty hand broke into the hall again, and it should also be a eunuch standing outside the hall.
I saw this chamberlain running to the side of Gonggong Shun and stopped, and then shouted at His Majesty Li Er: "Report to the saint, the right servant of Shangshu shoots the eldest grandson Wuji, ask to see him outside the palace!" ”
"He's here too?"
His Majesty Li Er was still gloomy, shook his head and smiled inexplicably: "It is said that my uncle loves my nephew, and this is not true at all." Hehe, the family is quite complete, okay, Dong Shun, you go out and invite Uncle Changsun, as well as the prince and the king of Wei into the palace. ”
"Whoa!"
Father-in-law Shun and the chamberlain responded in unison, and then retreated tremblingly.
After waiting for the emperor for so long, how could they not figure out whether the emperor's mood was good or bad?
Seeing that a storm was coming, how could they dare to stay here and save the fish in the pond from a fire at the city gate.
As soon as the two left, His Majesty Li Er strode towards the bead curtain leading to the dormitory, raised his hand, and said lightly with a still gloomy face: "Queen, since the two evil obstacles born to you and me want to see me, and the uncle of the country also wants to see me, why don't you come out together, it's rare to come so complete today, why don't we sit down and have a good chat as a family." ”
Anyone can hear it, His Majesty Li Er is talking the opposite, what else is there to talk about besides the storm?
However, Empress Changsun meekly answered yes inside, slowly walked out, walked out of the bead curtain, and walked into the hall.
And in her swaddling clothes, she was still holding a prince who was sleeping soundly.
This time, the family is really complete enough, at least the three sons born to her and His Majesty Li Er are all gathered in this manna hall today.
