Fifty-two, rod killing
He has been in power for more than 30 years and can maintain a clear and clear Ming Jun, and there are almost no Ming monarchs.
Shen Mengxi looked at Li Longji, who was already taller than himself, and couldn't help but think that the first thing this kid would do when he became an emperor in the future was to kill his aunt, and he was no softer than his grandmother. After the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it also became extravagant.
When you reach the top of the food chain, you become careless.
In this world, there are some rules that make people frustrated.
Li Longji looked at his aunt's face suddenly became ugly inexplicably, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he tilted his head aggrievedly.
Back at the princess's mansion, Shen Mengxi called the four children to teach and admonish, especially Yin'er Jian'er, she must pay attention to her words and deeds, stay honestly in the mansion when she has nothing to do, think about it and advise, "Even in the princess's mansion, you can't say whatever you want." β
"It's only been two years since you were at ease, and did you start again?" Jian'er scratched her hair in distress and said, was patted on the shoulder by Yin'er, and swallowed what she was going to say later.
Li Chongrun only lived for 19 years, he was loved by Gaozong as soon as he was born, and he was made the emperor's grandson at the full moon, granted amnesty to the world, and opened a government mansion without exception. It's a pity that Gaozong died in the second year, and the Empress Wu was involved in politics in the court, and Li Xian was imprisoned in Fangzhou in another year, Li Chongrun's family was demoted from the prince to the common people, and in the first year of the holy calendar, Emperor Wu reinstated Li Xian as the prince and named Li Chongrun as the king of Shao. Three years later, in the first year of Chang'an, Li Chongrun was imprisoned again for criticizing His Majesty, and within a few days, he was killed with a live rod.
At the same time, the rod killed the horse of the lord of Yongtai, and on the second day, the lord of Yongtai died in childbirth.
Killing with a cane was an extremely common punishment in the Tang Dynasty, first stabbing the criminal in the abdomen, and then executing with a cane, beating him to death with a heavy cane. Cane punishment requires the lower garment to be removed, exposing the buttocks, so cane killing is a painful and humiliating way to die.
Li Chongrun, as the emperor's grandson, actually ended up with such a death, which made everyone sigh.
If Shen Mengxi still had doubts about the deaths of Li Hong and Li Xian, thinking that later generations deliberately portrayed Emperor Wu as a ruthless and ruthless empress, Li Chongrun's death this time made her believe that Emperor Wu had completely forgotten that he was a mother and a grandmother. Her brain is full of immortality and imperial power, and her heart is only swelled herself, and there is no room for anyone anymore.
With Emperor Wu's character, he would not admire the cowardly and incompetent Gaozong at all, he was just a flank for her survival and power, and later Gaozong had an affair with her sister Mrs. Han and her niece Mrs. Helan, which made her hate it even more, and designed to kill the mother and daughter, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen also reached an impasse.
Emperor Wu then didn't have much pity for his children. Four sons, whose personalities are like hers, have become a stumbling block to her, and like him, she gets bored when she sees them.
Li Xian lost a son and a daughter in succession, like a frightened bird, shrunk in the East Palace, not even daring to cry loudly, at night, the wind blew the window lattice, and the shadow of the tree was reflected on the window screen, which made him frightened and panicked.
Shen Mengxi had little contact with Li Xian's family, and he didn't look down on Li Xian and Wei's family, and their children were taught by Empress Wei and were not very affectionate to her. Li Chongrun is a handsome young man, very kind and filial, and his reputation has always been very good. Such a good nephew, but he was killed because of the false accusation in his face, Shen Mengxi was depressed and could not be resolved.
Li Chongrun's death caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.
More people were silent.
When Di Renjie heard that Li Chongrun was imprisoned, he was anxious and immediately asked to see Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu was angry, and his persuasion was ineffective. This was one of the few times when Emperor Wu refused to adopt Di Renjie's opinion. A few days later, Di Renjie thought that Emperor Wu had calmed down, and asked to see him again, but Emperor Wu didn't see him again.
Di Renjie had no choice but to return to Di Mansion, it was he who persuaded Emperor Wu to set up Li Xian as the crown prince, and also secretly arranged for officials who supported Li Tang to enter the Feng Pavilion, now it is only three years, everything is not a foregone conclusion, but Emperor Wu suddenly changed his mind, what this means, it is self-evident. But he didn't want to give up, and he couldn't give up, and he was ready to drag his sick body to see His Majesty again tomorrow.
As a result, before he entered the palace, there was bad news that King Shao and Junma were killed by a rod.
"Cane kill?!" Di Renjie only said these two words, and fell to the ground, caught off guard, everyone couldn't help each other, Di Renjie's forehead hit the floor, and let out a dull sound. I invited the medical officer, and said that he had a heart attack and had no power to return to heaven.
When Emperor Wu heard the news of Di Renjie's death, he was holding the freshly baked elixir and preparing to take it, Zhang Zhizhi came in in a panic, and she also scolded angrily: "What kind of system!" β
I saw Zhang Yu's envoy kneeling down indiscriminately, and said endlessly: "The old man, the old man is dead!" β
The elixir in Emperor Wu's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and it rolled far away. Emperor Wu sat on the ground, without saying a word, and a room of uterine maids was so frightened that he fell to the ground and did not move.
On the same day, Emperor Wu came to Di Mansion to mourn, looked at Di Renjie's eyelids that no one could erase, whispered and didn't know what to say, stretched out his right hand, and with a gentle flick, Di Renjie's eyes finally closed.
After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he did not eat for two days, and the Zhang brothers were not allowed to enter the palace, but just sat still.
Di Renjie was posthumously named the right minister of Wenchang and was nicknamed Wenhui.
It is said that it is written through heaven and latitude, and it is said that it is morally erudite, and it is good to ask questions about it. This is a great affirmation of Di Renjie.
Half a month later, there was news that Emperor Wu was ready to move back to Luoyang, the capital of God, Shen Mengxi's heart was cold, Luoyang was of great significance to Emperor Wu, and her return to Luoyang meant that she was convinced that she could live a long life of 200 years old, and was ready to make a big show again.
When a person reaches a certain age, his physical and mental strength declines, and he has to rely on his relatives and juniors, no matter how strong a person is, he will unconsciously restrain himself and make some compromises, just like the former Emperor Wu appointed Li Xian as the crown prince and executed Lai Junchen.
But now that he has the guarantee of being two hundred years old, he naturally does not need to rely on his children and grandchildren, and he will kill him, which is also a warning to others.
Shen Mengxi was a little scared, she still had four children. A few years ago, I could still be coquettish and stupid, pretending to be stupid, but now that I am forty years old, I feel ugly when I use this routine again. The princess of Taiping in history is in collusion with the Zhang brothers, at least the Zhang brothers will not make a move on her. Now it's different, she hates the Zhang brothers, there is no way to let herself be in the same stream with the face head, and she can't even shout out the sentence Wulang Liulang, if they can frame Li Chongrun, it is possible to frame themselves.
She wants to stay in Chang'an and never participate in court politics, any coup d'Γ©tat in the future has nothing to do with her, and the children will not participate in political affairs in the future, and if it doesn't get in the way of Li Longji's affairs, he won't target himself, he can build a five-prince mansion, raise brothers, and should be able to treat Yin'er Jian'er who grew up together.
But Emperor Wu made a will, and all the officials and royal families moved back to the Shendu with her.
Helpless, I had to toss again, and I returned to Luoyang.
The Chang'an newspaper was also moved to Luoyang, and the shop in Chang'an East City was changed into a branch library. Li Suniang took her son to Luoyang, she had already tasted the sweetness of clinging to the powerful, and calculated in her heart that her son would participate in the imperial examination in a few years, and maybe he would be able to get rid of it.
And the several families who were married to the princess's mansion before suddenly stopped moving.
