Chapter 36: Behind the Darkness (I)

History is written by the victors, history is full of lies, and if he survives and we die, his truth will be recorded and ours will be buried.

- Price

A few days ago, the day after that night.

Above the city head of Chang'an, there is still a haze circling.

The dust has settled, but it is only the beginning.

His Majesty has died, and the whole country is mourning.

Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, was executed for rebellion, and His Majesty's will: Li Zenan, the king of Qin, succeeded to the throne.

Chang'an looks brand new, but it is also in ruins, depressed, and devastated.

Too many people died that night, and especially a few of them, can be said to be enough to affect the historical process of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

As a result, noise and skepticism are inevitable, albeit limited to a small number of people.

Of course, the whole of Chang'an, at least Chang'an, is relatively calm, after all, it is the center of power and control.

After that, no one knows what will happen.

It's just that the uproar is still sweeping in people's hearts.

For the time being, the turmoil in the hearts of ordinary people is only limited to the death of His Majesty and the news of the rebellion of Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, but there are still a small number of ordinary people who are different.

In the early morning, the morning light dawned, and the sky was still relatively dark, just like the atmosphere of Chang'an today.

In the secret room of the Wen Mansion, a large number of giants gathered.

Last night hung over them like a nightmare, and now they still shiver a little when they think about it.

Originally, they had put into action what they had been mentally prepared for a long time last night, and it should have been a day of celebration today, but this was not the case.

Most people's faces are full of gloom, and Wen Yuejiu, who has always had a gloomy face, is even more like black charcoal, of course, this is just an exaggeration.

There were a lot of things that happened last night, some of them were involved, and some of them didn't do anything, but that didn't mean anything, at least until now, they were "their own people".

They were each doing their own thing last night, and they may or may not know anything about what happened to the others.

For example, Master Shan, who was sitting in the corner on the side, spoke first "very unfamiliarly":

"Why...... How many people are missing? ”

Xu Jingyi kept his eyes down, until he heard this, he raised his eyes, and said lightly without pain: "It's two people." ”

"Shang Yifang and Long and these two wronged leaders." Someone else said.

Wen Yuejiu's face became darker, his voice was low and lifeless, and his whole person seemed to be much tired:

"He's dead."

Xu Jingyi's eyelids jumped: "Who died?" ”

The other people around were also stunned, sat up straight, and put on a look of surprise and imminent rain.

"Shang Yifang," Wen Yuejiu didn't answer, but the other adult said with a pale face, and his voice trembled a little, "Not many of you know, but you should know that last night was not a good day, it was last night...... Shang is in a room, and there is no corpse ......"

Master Shan stood up suddenly, and his facial muscles twitched: "What did you say!?" ”

Wen Yuejiu only spoke at this time, and his voice was still low: "He was killed by Guan Kuo, and his head was cut off with a knife, and he really died without a whole body, and he died a particularly miserable death." ”

The news of the death of Shang Yi's room was like a thunderbolt that struck them, and no one could accept it for a while, no matter how strong that person's psychological quality was in the past.

Shang Yi's room is dead!

The powerful Shang Yi room of the government and the opposition actually died so simply!

In the secret room of the Wen Mansion, they couldn't calm down for a long time, they digested this information, and made a lot of conjectures about the experience of the Shang room last night, and at the same time, there were many people who didn't know why they felt their necks pulling out the cold, and they couldn't help but shrink.

But in the end, last night because of the suddenness of the incident, they fought on their own, and today is of course an opportunity to pass on what happened last night, and it is also an opportunity to discuss future trends, and they always have to face those things when they happen.

"So...... Long and ......" an adult swallowed, feeling his lips a little dry, "also dead?" ”

"No," Wen Yuejiu's voice was low, "His son Long Fei died, and he was also in charge of it." ”

The death of the rabbit and the fox was still a big shock, but the current situation was not the same as before, and there was a dead silence in the entire secret room, and no one spoke for a while.

Smoke rose from the incense burner, and with that dead silence, the smell was strange.

This scene lasted for a whole pillar of incense.

probably knew that some of them were difficult to accept because of the same spirit and even friendship in the past, so others were also patiently waiting for them to digest the news.

Then, Xu Jingyi spoke.

"Since the matter has been discussed, and today's gathering is to tell all the things you know, then whether the matter is appalling or not, everyone should not hide it, say it, tell everything you know."

Many nodded in silence, and then there was a great silence.

That requires a little preparation, and a mental end to the previous news.

"Let's talk about the biggest thing first," Wen Yuejiu said, "There are only two people who are the most suitable successors to Your Majesty, but last night King Li Xianyue of Jin was executed for rebellion, and now there is news of His Majesty's will, Li Xunan, King of Qin, will be the new Majesty, there is no doubt about this, right?" ”

He looked around.

Regardless of whether those people have anything to do with Li Zenan or not, and whether they have anything to do with Li Xianyue, but now that Li Xianyue is dead, everyone is a smart person, and now their rhetoric is all the same.

Li Xianyue rebelled, that is necessary, His Majesty's will signaled Li Zenan to succeed to the throne, that is also necessary, everything is so "clear and clear".

"Last night, the Shenwu general Heibaicheng was killed in battle, and died under the knife of Li Xianyue's traitor, and the old general Guanying also broke an arm and was seriously injured, and now he is still recuperating from his injuries and can't move." An adult took the lead.

Everyone here felt a chill from the depths of their hearts, no matter what, they would be afraid, trapped beasts still fighting, not to mention that Li Xianyue is a dragon, if Li Xianyue made all the preparations like Li Zenan last night, more people would surely die, and some people here may not be able to sit here, it is impossible to say that there is no feeling.

"The strength of King Jin ......" An adult had a gloomy face, and then realized something, looked around at the people around him, and changed his words: "The strength of Li Xianyue's traitor is indeed very terrifying. ”

(Yesterday, the bricks were moved from seven o'clock in the morning to half past eight in the evening, and now the code word Yali Mountain is big.) )
