Chapter 297: Xiao Yuexian
The king of Hejian County!
This news undoubtedly dropped a depth charge in Chang'an years ago, especially Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who died violently.
Sudden death!
This is a very intriguing word, often seen in history books, as for how to understand it, it is a matter of opinion. Maybe it's a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease that the parties can't understand, or maybe it's equivalent to death.
So, which one is Lee Hyo-gong?
Everyone in Chang'an City speculated about this, and the king of Hejian County was a general, and he had always been in good health, and he had not heard of any old injuries.
Even if the old injury recurred, it would not suddenly die violently, and there was no news about the illness of the king of Hejian in advance, and suddenly the message came out and he died directly.
In this way, it is inevitable that people are a little intriguing!
And His Majesty the Emperor's reaction is also very strange, it stands to reason that the emperor should be very sad about the death of a clan who has made countless contributions to the country and has a respected status.
After all, Li Xiaogong is the cousin of Emperor Li Shimin, and in this era of paying attention to blood families, this is an extremely close relationship, and His Majesty the Emperor should not have expressed it.
At least you should leave the court for three days, and even go to pay respects in person, at least let the crown prince or other princes go to mourn on your behalf. even gave Li Xiaogong enough mourning, such as giving a highly rated nickname, or posthumously being crowned a prince or something like that.
But all this was nothing, the emperor only dropped out of the court for one day, and no one in the royal family went to mourn. Even the funeral was handled as soon as possible for high-sounding reasons, and it could not be postponed, the princess was martyred, and the second son of the palace was convicted......
This kind of sign does not seem to be the death of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, at least not to please His Majesty the Emperor. Since last year, the king of Hejian County has been punished by the emperor for his affairs and has been locked up at home and thought about it behind closed doors.
A lot of clues add up. So......
Especially on the eve of Li Xiaogong's death, after Emperor Li Shimin had been to the palace, almost everyone believed that Li Xiaogong had committed a crime.
It is very likely that his violent death was given to death, and the emperor used it to cover up in order to preserve his last decency and royal dignity.
As for why, few people know it, and such royal secrets are naturally not something that ordinary people can inquire about and know?
Everyone in Chang'an City reached a consensus, and no one dared to mention it, just like a hurried funeral. The various rumors of the death of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, have passed.
……
Xie Yi only heard about this after returning to Gongchuan Villa, he had eyes and ears in Chang'an City, and the news spread as soon as the accident happened.
Xie Yi was not surprised by this at all, he was also one of the few people who knew the inside story in advance, knew that this would definitely happen, and sincerely hoped that this would happen.
The main messenger behind the Jinju incident was Li Xiaogong, which was investigated by Xie Yi in Hedong and Li Ji also had the same results. There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, as long as it leaves a trail. will always be picked up, not to mention that Li Xiaogong's subordinates are not absolutely cautious people, or they were discovered by Yebei and others, and even followed them to the direction of Yanmen and Dingxiang.
Bad luck. Unfortunately, it was discovered by Kan Ling and Xue Rengui, but in the end, they couldn't rely on it. Especially after Ashina Simo was "invited" back to Chang'an, with the temperament of this khan, he would definitely tell everything he knew about it like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
Collusion with foreigners. intends to shake the Tang Dynasty, even if this kind of thing is just a clue, the royal family will generally use it rather than believe it. Don't believe in its incompetent attitude, nip it in the bud.
Even members of the royal family will not show mercy, generally speaking, the royal family members are more likely to rebel, and it is easier, and the emperor is the most taboo.
Therefore, no matter whether there is so-called ironclad evidence, Li Xiaogong's ending will not be good, not to mention that the evidence from all sides is conclusive, which Li Shimin absolutely cannot tolerate. Even if Li Xiaogong once made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, even if he was the emperor's cousin. Family affection, merit and favor have always been worthless in the face of imperial stability. 、
Li Xiaogong could not escape death.
It's just that I didn't expect it, or it is reasonable, Li Shimin gave him a relatively decent way to die, died violently, and still retained a minimum identity and dignity.
It's really cheap to think about him, but it's already good to be able to do this, as the saying goes, ugliness can't be publicized, Li Shimin naturally doesn't want these filthy things within the Li Tang royal family to be made public, so it's not a good thing for him and Li Tang's rule.
All in all, Lee Hyo-kung is dead.
This is a happy thing for Du Xijun and Kan Leng, when Du Fuwei was wronged, it can be said that Li Xiaogong operated it, although he has been rehabilitated and punished, but this is far from enough.
Now that Li Xiaogong is dead, his body is dead, so it can be regarded as an explanation of Du Fuwei's spirit in the sky, and it can be regarded as a real revenge.
Sure enough, that night, Du Xijun and Kan Ling set up an incense burner and specially put incense on their father to inform them of the incident.
Du Xijun, who was pregnant with Liujia, even breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel very happy. Kan Ling first sighed, and after hanging Du Fuwei, his eyes have been looking at the north from afar.
It should be missing someone, someone who also has some grudges against Li Xiaogong, right?
……
It has been a few days since Dingxiang received the news, and the masked woman sneered again and again when she heard the news of Li Xiaogong's death.
In fact, since she left that sentence before leaving Kan Ling that day, she has been fluctuating, and the pictures that she dare not look back on for many years will always come to mind at midnight.
I still remember that year in Jiangling City, I was my father's favorite daughter, the unique princess of Xiliang. At that time, she also had a sweetheart, and she always saw the scholar surnamed Cen entering and leaving the Jiangling Palace, and became an important member of the Chinese book at a young age. On that day, when he passed by the garden, he was playing with Du Ruo, and he also specially wrote a poem.
I still remember the content, but no matter how I chanted it, those words were like the tip of a needle, and they would pierce my heart at every turn.
Extremely painful......
If nothing else, maybe one of his hearts will follow him, maybe......
But it all ended because the man was coming to the city, and the city was about to be destroyed, and although her father, who was already a little crazy, did not want to admit it, she and he both clearly understood the seriousness of the matter.
He went out of the city, and tried to protect Jiangling by Li Xiaogong, the commander of the Tang Army, and there must be no killing. For this reason, he did not hesitate to compromise.
She understood that the efforts he had made were to protect the people of Gangneung, their former people and clansmen, but did they include her father and herself?
She doesn't know!
Later, I didn't know who told her that if he charmed him with his moving posture and bewitching figure, the prince that the Tang Emperor relied on the most, then his father might leave a life.
When she was young, she didn't know anything about the world, and she was also sick and rushed to the doctor. So she believed. That night, she walked into his room in humiliation, flattered him, and silently rejoiced under him.
She thought that her father was safe, but she didn't want her father to become a prisoner and be escorted to Chang'an. Even himself, after being confined for a few days, was sent to the ranks of prisoners.
He broke his promise and turned his face to deny people.
It was only then that she understood. It's a pity that it's too late, not only was he put on the death row list with his father, but he was about to be executed. The clean body was still defiled by Li Xiaogong's shameless man......
She hated, hated very much.
From that day on. She is no longer a little girl who does not know the world, she has begun to become cold-blooded, and she has only hatred in her heart......
Especially after the old ministry worked so hard to save herself, she only lived for hatred. And he, Li Xiaogong, was probably worried that he had leaked an important person. Unable to explain to the emperor, he found a scapegoat from nowhere.
So Xiliang Xiao Miao's father and daughter were killed, and a woman named Xiao Yuexian survived.
No. Xiao Yuexian, that innocent and kind little girl also died. Because when she fled, she was injured and left a scar on her face, so she has been covered with purple veil since then.
Since then, there is no Xiao Yuexian in the world, only Xiao Niangzi who will do anything to seek revenge, and after more than ten or twenty years, more people call her the eldest sister.
On the list of her enemies, Li Xiaogong ranks first, this traitor who breaks his word and is fat, deceives others and plays with himself, must die;
The second was Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time, who ordered his father to be executed.
Since then, they, the Xiliang Xiao clan, have tried their best to provoke civil strife or border troubles, just to mess up the world of the Tang Dynasty.
In the process, there are also constant assassinations, and the targets of the assassinations are naturally those great enemies. In the ninth year of Wude, the change of Xuanwumen, Li Yuan became the emperor and was placed under house arrest, and Zhenguan was even more desperate in the ninth year, and one of her enemies hung up before he could find him.
There is no connection, the father dies and the son succeeds!
Status and property are like this, and so is hatred, so all her hatred was transferred to Li Shimin. Of course, Li Xiaogong never left the first page of her revenge blacklist.
On the road of revenge for many years, she met a like-minded person, his name is Kan Ling, who has the same sorrow and dreams as herself.
So, the two sides hit it off.
At first, it was just cooperation, she respected him, appreciated him, this man was much better than herself, he had a clear eye, and he looked like him.
Being able to merge those remnants of the anti-Tang forces little by little, and then do something, although most of them ended in failure, it was still a lot of encouragement and progress for them.
They believe that one day their dreams will come true.
During this time, she found that her feelings for him were different, no longer appreciative and respectful, but similar to the impulse she had when she saw Master Cen in the garden, and it was even stronger.
In her twenties, she has experienced vicissitudes of life, and her feelings at this time are undoubtedly the most sincere, but she ...... Never mentioned. First, the great revenge has not been avenged, and secondly, he has long been an unclean person, how can he be worthy of a hero like him?
She was ashamed of herself, and she wanted to stay away.
But he gradually discovered that he seemed to have similar thoughts about himself, all of them were exiled people who had lost their country, had no country, no home.
I really want to find a warmth that I can rely on each other, how many times has her heart opened the cracks and almost took that step.
But in the end, she retreated, and she was afraid......
Shame on herself has always been a lingering thought, even if he doesn't care, but as long as she thinks of the tragic experience in the military camp outside Gangneung City in those days, her heart is torn apart.
She is even more afraid that once she finds a place to rely on and find comfort, she will become comfortable and forget her original mission.
So she never took that step, and he seemed to understand his state of mind, but he was silently by his side, waiting outside his heart.
In Shaanzhou that year, they met the Tang Emperor, who was on patrol, so they launched a sneak attack.
Because they knew that it was not easy to sneak attack the emperor, they casually targeted the emperor's children and the son of the great enemy Li Xiaogong, and framed him for the crime.
As a result, because he saw the old man when he went to do it, he finally stopped doing it.
It is precisely because of this that there is a distance between her and him, and in the clipper boat on the Yellow River, there is another "woman" in his heart.
For the sake of this woman's body, she disregarded her own safety, even risking her life, which she fully understood. Back then, the father and son had a deep relationship, but now when they see their righteous sister who is adrift, how can they be calm?
So he had the experience of going to prison and finally being assigned, and he was separated for several years; And the big enemy Li Xiaogong was also left out in the cold because of this.
Although he was captured, he never revealed his secret.
Over the years, I have first entered Chang'an and Saibei, strategizing, and every time I am close to success, but I finally fail. Every time it is related to a person, and it is his brother-in-law who is biased.
In the end, he sabotaged the assassination of his subordinates, and then told himself that he would put his great enemy Li Xiaogong to death.
Now that the news came, he really didn't experiment.
However, she didn't have many happy expressions, but kept thinking of the humiliating pictures of the year, as well as the bits and pieces of being with him.
He said that he would wait for her in Chang'an, and wait for the woman named Xiao Yuexian to go back.
But can you go back?
That day, he responded with three faint words: You go! And today......
When a great enemy has died, most of the hatred in her heart has been gone. In fact, for him, the most hated person in his heart has always been Li Xiaogong.
After all, it was this big traitor who brought more hatred and humiliation to himself, and Li Yuan, who killed his father back then, was dead, and his father and son would continue to settle the account on Li Shimin's head, but the degree of hatred was not as heavy as before.
Now that Li Xiaogong is dead, should he really let go? Can the revenge of killing my father really be put down? If Xiao Yuexian wants to go back, she must remove this veil?
He definitely wouldn't mind the scarred face, the important thing was that he could pass the test?
She sat silently in the tent, removed the veil, but finally put it on. This was repeated many times, and finally I couldn't help but cry...... (To be continued.) )
