Chapter 0575. Angry, the most unlikely decision...
In the palace, the night was terrifying.
Li Shimin's concubines who had never given birth all rushed to the Ganye Temple, and the rest either followed the country of the heirs, or the green lantern ancient Buddha stayed together, as for the next generation of emperor Li Zhi, although he also accepted more than a dozen concubines, most of these people were imprisoned with Li Zhi in the East Palace, after the coup d'Γ©tat a few days ago, they were wronged by the families of the gentry, and the Yeting Palace released a large number of palace maids.
Nowadays, the harem of the huge Taiji Palace is basically empty, except for the guards patrolling the city walls and the main road, the huge palace area is empty, as eerie and terrifying as a ghost domain.
Whining~
The night owl hovered over the treetops, the terrifying cry was like a ghost crying, and the experienced ninjas around Li Jie were all chilling in their backs, and their bodies covered in the night clothes were nervously bowed, holding the hilt of the knife and carefully patrolling left and right, walking in it, Li Jie himself was a little absent-minded.
Li Shimin has long been gone, and this is no longer his era, but walking in this once familiar but now unfamiliar palace garden, Li Jie always has a feeling that he has not left, and it seems that his shadow is everywhere.
The emperor has a study everywhere in the Taiji Palace, but this place is hidden very secretly, with that map, Li Jie and a few times went wrong, only then did he find the inconspicuous side hall in the gloomy grove by the Taiye Pool, the study, and the four ninjas who didn't know whether the Tang people or the Japanese people rushed in first.
In fact, when Li Jie conquered the Wa Kingdom, there was no ninja class, but in Liaodong saw Li Tai's assassin group, which made Li Jie come up with this idea, it happened that when he captured the Wa Kingdom Bird Language Palace, Li Jie got the outlier among the people, Hattori Hanzo, who was proficient in martial arts, and used him and the lowly Wa people, Li Jie created the first batch of ninja class.
Compared with the lowly and secretive ninja class in the history of the Wa Kingdom, there have been some changes in the Fujian Kingdom, except for a layer of unchanged loyalty to the sovereign ideological indoctrination, the ninjas selected from all ethnic groups are the first to have a family, once selected as the Fujian Ninja, the family immediately soared.
Concern for their families and loyalty to the monarch forged these night devils, and under the harsh training, in just a few quarters of an hour, the four of them had already completed the investigation and flew out again, kneeling down in front of Li Jie on one knee: "Lord Qiqi, no one!" β
"No one?" Li Jie shouted in surprise.
Under the guidance of this group of iron guards, Li Jie stepped into this small side hall, which is really the same as the iron guards said, the small study room is clear at a glance, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, the spider webs hanging everywhere, and the bookshelves full of books have fallen a thick layer of dust, dilapidated, old, is the main theme here.
Puzzled, he picked up the map again, and after matching it with the map of Taiji Palace, Li Jie reluctantly decided that he had indeed not found the wrong location, could it be that the famous black guard was disbanded?
How huge the black guard is, Li Jie has been fighting with it for many years, but he knows it clearly, Jiao Laosan is from the black guard, even the green beads are also, when the black guards entered Fujian one after another, they couldn't kill it cleanly, but now what is left is such a desolate place, nothing, unwilling to circle around dozens of square meters of huts, Li Jie couldn't help but helplessly took out the black guard fish charm, stretched out his hand and threw it on the ground.
"Let's go ......"
Li Jie just turned around, but stiffened suddenly, because he clearly saw a bright light shining along his body to the wall, after many years in the military, the moonlight reflected on the blade could not be clearer, and his heart tightened, Li Jie reached out and touched his pocket, and at the same time, more than a dozen well-trained Fujian ninjas also screamed.
"Protect the Lord!"
Suddenly, the dust splashed, and then the black shadow was serial in the night suit at a high speed, and a few swords intersected sounded, and when Li Jiemeng turned around, the cold long sword was already resting on his shoulder, and at the same time, the cold short fire gun barrel was also aimed at the man's head.
A trace of cold sweat flowed down Li Jie's forehead, and the gunpowder had just been soaked with strong tea, and the fire gun was empty.
Fortunately, in just a moment, the man put away his long sword, bent down in front of Li Jie to pick up the fish talisman that fell on the ground, and muttered, "You, it's too late." β
"My father passed on the Black Guard to me, and I want to control the Black Guard!" also put away the firecracker, looking at the man's sneer, Li Jie roared in annoyance, but the man's sneer was even louder when he heard a word.
"Blackguard? Haha, Blackguard? β
"What's so ridiculous?" Li Jie's forehead was even more bruised, listening to Li Jie's roar, it was finally the man who stopped laughing, dirty, full of long beards, and the old face still had a mocking twitch, and waved his hand to the side: "Since King Min insists on asking for those useless things, come with me." β
A black robe exuded the smell of decay, and the dust flew as the man walked, and from behind, there were mushrooms growing on the man's head, and where he jumped up just now, a human figure had been clearly printed on the corner of the wall, I don't know how long this person had been sitting here silently, and he didn't even make a sound, just like a piece of cloth, no wonder the trained Fujian ninjas missed him.
Li Jie himself has also practiced some internal kung fu, he knows that the inner family is far from being as magical as people imagine, in addition to maintaining physical fitness, one enemy also needs enough luck, flexibility and strong armor, ten thousand enemies are not nothing, such as Xi Jun buy, but every ten thousand enemies are not one person, but a group of people.
This person seems to be beyond the realm of ordinary people, Li Jie asked himself, sitting here day and night, he will never be able to do it.
Li Jie looked forward to what Li Shimin left behind, but after a while, he was disappointed again.
"That's it?"
A monk's degree, a shaving tool, a monk's robe, there is no imaginary hidden mechanism, the man casually blew off the ash and took it off the wall, handed it to Li Jie, looked at it for a while, Li Jie shouted angrily: "What's the use of asking for these alone?" It's the Black Guard who wants it! β
"Everything about the Black Guard is here, the last time His Highness met those guards were already the last of the Black Guards, and after completing the task, they also broke away from the Black Guards, and now the Black Guards, except for Zaixia, are this broken house."
Still sneering so mockingly, the man took down two more boxes from the bookshelf he had just taken: "If Your Highness is not satisfied, it is better to take these together." β
It's still Du Mu, this time it's a Taoist robe, full of surprise, Li Jie opened a book casually, looked at the Taoist name on it and was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
Xuanxuan, then it is the sixth Li Xuan, the monk's robe is for himself, the last time he was in prison, on the cusp, he may really be able to use it to prepare a way out for himself, and then look at the row of bookshelves, full of these things.
It turned out that even if Li Shimin died, he still remembered his children, and painstakingly planned a way out for everyone, as for the person who said that Li Jie could not use it, indeed, now the Taiji Palace is his, and it is not Li Jie himself who should be left and run away anyway.
Feeling emotional, he put the things on the dusty table, and looked around, Li Jie suddenly stretched out his hand again: "Take out the old ten, now he should be able to use it." β
This sentence really made the man stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have it today." β
"Why didn't Lao Ten have it?"
"Because His Majesty is the heir designated by the first emperor, he will definitely be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty." The color of ridicule flashed again, and the man pointed at Li Jie and laughed madly: "The current emperor is benevolent and kind, the Tang Dynasty has experienced pioneering first, and after experiencing sharp expansion, he needs a benevolent and conservative emperor, so His Majesty does not need to escape no matter what." β
"Now the Tang Dynasty is under my control! Old ten, he is benevolent? He wants to kill his brother and expel his stepmother, who kind of man is he? Li Jie immediately became angry again, pointing at the man and yelling, but unfortunately the man still couldn't laugh wildly.
"I told Your Majesty a long time ago, King Min, you are the source of the Tang Dynasty's troubles, if it weren't for you, why would the world fall to the crumbling situation now, you are too similar to your grandfather Emperor Yang of Sui, the same talent and ambition, if Your Majesty had made up your mind to let you embark on this road earlier, why now, hahahaha."
In the midst of the wild laughter, the man casually dropped a large stack of documents stacked under the thick dust on the table in front of Li Jie, stunned, Li Jie picked up the documents and read them one by one by the moonlight, and the more he looked, the more his hands trembled.
The earliest one, planned during the conquest of Goguryeo, on the surface, Li Jing suggested using Li Jie's army as cannon fodder to consume the strength of King Shuo's army, but in fact, it was planned by the Black Guard.
Then, after he fell into the Grand Canyon, the black guard chased him, but fortunately, he and Yang Xinyi were lucky and didn't meet any of them.
supported Li Zhi to seize the Cotton Textile Guild, countered and incitement several times against the Min State, helped the eldest grandson Wuji to take the kings to Chang'an, and even several assassination plans for himself.
Li Shimin once wanted to get rid of himself?
In the inconspicuous small study, it seems that all the files of the black guard exist here, and after reading the files related to himself, Li Jie frantically opened other files, most of the earliest ones were during the period when Li Shimin was fighting for the crown prince, and Li Jie, who was not interested in them, flipped through them, and then there were records of Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and many ministers.
A ninja had already lit a candle with interest, and the flickering candlelight was desperately turning, and Li Jie's eyes were full of bloodshots.
For two hours, most of the documents full of ashes were tossed by Li Jie, and the scattered dust covered his body with a layer, and the last one was dropped, Li Jie's eyes became more and more bloodshot, among all the adult princes of Li Shimin, he planned to stand up, but he was the only one, except for the plan for the Fujian State in all the documents, Li Jie only found a sentence of evaluation.
Like Sui Yang, it can't stand!
A day ago, he just got such a denial from his third brother Li Ke and his mother Concubine Yang, but now he got it again in Li Shimin's suicide note.
"Hey, hey, hahahaha!"
After being stunned for a long time, Li Jie suddenly laughed nervously, and several Iron Guard ninjas who looked at him with a hideous expression like a night owl couldn't help but take two steps back, holding a candle, Li Jie shook and laughed and came to the man, this will be done, the man has already sat back in the position just now, behind him, the fish talisman pattern with his eyes open was once again blocked.
After laughing wildly for a long time, Li Jie shook his sleeves and said coldly to the man: "My father tried his best, but now, Datang is not in the hands of this king!" β
"Therefore, Your Majesty's precious life is now in danger of falling apart." The eyelids didn't open, and he returned to a lifeless appearance, the man said indifferently, and the angry Li Jie shuddered again, and after a while, the cold like a snowstorm condensed on his face again.
"Okay, okay, my eldest father, who is dedicated to the world, is still planning for Lao Jiu in the end, so it's as he wants!"
A moment later, Li Jie had already led his ninja out of the dilapidated study, as if he had never been there, reminiscing, and the man sitting by the wall opened his eyes again and sighed sadly.
"If Your Majesty really vetoes you like this, my son Jiao Hui will not die!"
In front of the Lizheng Palace, the queen who couldn't sleep was still guarding, half a day later, a shaking figure as if she didn't know how many nights she had stayed up, and the tired figure returned to the inner hall.
"Still waiting for me at this time?"
It wasn't until Li Jie's ridiculous voice came back to her ears that Wang Yan came back to her senses, and glanced at her head with disdain: "Although you are a villain, but this palace is the residence of the Lizheng Palace after all. β
"Are you staring at Lonely, I'm afraid of Lonely, and find out my heir Li Zhong!"
Seeing Li Jie staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, but his face showed a scoundrel expression and teasing, Queen Wang's face immediately turned red again, and she roared hysterically: "That's me and Your Majesty's son, and I have nothing to do with your rebellious ministers and thieves, I will never allow you to take Zhong'er to Fujian." β
"Whatever, whether it's Lone's son or not, this time, Lone's child support will be enough." With a little tiredness, he dropped this sentence for no reason, Li Jie passed by, and went to rest in the inner hall by himself, which made Wang Yan stunned for a long time.
"Hey, what alimony? Come back! Make it clear! βγ
