King E and King Guang immediately finished talking. They really didn't bring weapons, and they didn't dare to make them privately, they still wanted to catch the living mouth of King Shou, and bring it to their father to confront him. After Na Cheng thought of King Shou's house, he saw these weapons at the door, and they thought that since they wanted to arrest people, they couldn't do it without some guys in their hands, so they picked them up. Who knew that as soon as they rushed into the mansion, they made a lot of noise in order to search for King Shou, and they were surrounded by Jin Wuwei, and King Shou's house was quiet, and there was no one at all.

They were thinking it was strange, so they were tied up and brought to the diligent government building.

Seeing that this point could no longer be explained, King E hurriedly said: "Aye Mingjian! Son went to Shouwang's house, not with bad intentions, but because Er found out in the past two months that Shouwang intended to rebel! ”

Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou immediately got up and fell to their knees. Concubine Wu Hui said: "Rebellion is a heinous crime, the concubine doesn't know that she has such a deep hatred with the king of Hubei, to be slandered like this, I hope the saint will see it!" ”

Li Longji looked at King Shou and saw that he lowered his head and did not speak, and felt more and more distressed. Fortunately, King Shou and his wife came to live in the palace today, otherwise they don't know what will happen, looking at the three sons in the palace, they feel even more angry: "You tell me, Eighteen Lang is like you, there is no soldier, how to rebel?" ”

King E said: "Aya probably doesn't know yet, General Xiao has been co-opted by Concubine Wu Hui, and her inner flying dragon soldiers are the soldiers and horses of King Shou's rebellion!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Longji was so angry that he picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it down, smashing it straight on the forehead of the king of E, he still felt that it was not enough, so he got up and was about to walk in front of the third son, but was stopped by Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan listened silently, not wanting to hear his name. She glanced at Concubine Wu Hui, then at the three sons kneeling in the hall, and sighed: "Sage, let the king finish his words." ”

Li Longji snorted coldly: "I want to see what else you can say!" ”

Blood was already flowing from King E's forehead, but he didn't dare to care at all: "Two months ago, Hachiro found traces of Niu Xiantong in the city. Everyone knows that Niu Xiantong was sent by General Xiao to General Yang to make meritorious service as early as a year ago, and there is no grace to let him return, how did he return to Chang'an and go in and out of King Shou's mansion more often? He also often wandered around General Xiao's mansion and talked to General Xiao's domestic servants. This is enough to prove that the so-called meritorious service is just a bitter ploy, Niu Xiantong is the traction between Concubine Wu Hui, King Shou and General Xiao, and they have long been colluded together! ”

King Guang added: "Later, the fifth brother and his son both sent eyeliner to King Shou's house, and they found out that King Shou was unwilling to be deposed by the prince's two crises, and actually wanted to do nothing and stop doing it, so he simply changed the Xuanwu Gate again, forced Aya to abdicate, and directly made him the emperor!" I never thought that the eighteenth brother, who was quiet in the past, would have such prodigal ambitions! Er originally wanted to tell Aya about this with the prince and the fifth brother, but he was afraid that his words would be unsubstantiated, so he thought that he would get the stolen goods. ”

"Do you know that there is no basis for what you say?" Li Longji laughed angrily, "What you just said, but you heard what King Shou said with your own ears? ”

King E said: "Although I haven't heard King Shou say it himself, but what the staff in his house said!" ”

"How do you know it's Eighteen Lang's staff? Maybe it's just a musician. ”

King E didn't understand why his father could suddenly say this, so he said: "If you are just a musician, how can you say such a rebellious thing?!" ”

"Yes, if I hadn't heard such a rebellious remark from you, I wouldn't have thought of it." Li Longji said sarcastically, "So tonight, you are going to King Shou's mansion to quell the rebellion?" ”

King E and King Light said in unison: "Exactly! ”

"Do you know what we know?" Li Longji said and gave Xiao Jiangyuan a look and asked her to say it in person.

Xiao Jiangyuan took a few steps forward and said: "Niu Xiantong did return without an edict, and the crime was added to the crime, because General Yang ruled the army strictly and was famous, and he was afraid and fled back halfway. He hoped that King Shou would intercede for him, and he also hoped that the ministers would forgive him, but he didn't dare to enter the palace and throw himself into the net, so he had what King Guang saw. And in King Shou's house, there is indeed no staff, only the Guizi musician invited by Concubine Hui for Princess Shou.

"The identity of his Guzi musician has been personally verified by the saint. The minister also sent someone to interrogate the servants of the two princes' mansions adjacent to the Shouwang mansion, and indeed there have never been literati, warriors, monks or monks, who have ever entered and exited the Shouwang mansion, and those Guizi musicians have no other actions except for studying songs and dances with Princess Shou on weekdays, as for speech...... They will only speak some simple Chang'an official dialect.

"A few days ago, the sage and his ministers heard from Concubine Hui that in the past two months, the two kings have always sent people to monitor King Shou's house, fearing that they would murder King Shou. The sage didn't believe it yet, but in order to make Concubine Hui feel at ease, he sent a team of Jin Wuwei to patrol the vicinity of the Ten Kings' Mansion, and once there was a stir, he would take the lead in rushing to the Shouwang Mansion, but he didn't want to really wait for the two kings tonight. ”

In fact, Li Longji did not only do this. I heard that King Shou had returned the slaves and maids in the house and returned home, knowing that his son was kind, he was afraid that the family would be unsafe and did not want to hurt the lives of innocent people. But in this way, King Shou was too aggrieved, so he asked his son to bring his wife into the palace today and live for a while, and at the same time asked Xiao Jiangyuan to send someone to invite the Guizi musician to live in the pear orchard. I don't think that King Shou has just entered the palace not long ago, and there is such a big thing in King Shou's house.

Xiao Jiangyuan continued: "Not only that, but on the orders of the sage, Fang Cai has already sent someone to search the East Palace and the mansions of the two kings, and in the study of the East Palace, a letter was found. The above lists a number of crimes of Concubine Hui and King Shou, and finally points to the word 'rebellion', and the most exciting place on the note is the place where the payment is made. There, there are more than a dozen private seals from the crown prince to the kings. ”

And all the people in the temple understood what this meant.

The more Li Longji listened, the more angry he became: "You dare to do it tonight, which can be regarded as a bit of guts, but after the matter was revealed, you dared to do it but didn't dare to do it, and you even bit back, and accused Concubine Hui and Eighteen Lang, even General Xiao didn't let go?" With no intention of repentance and no filial piety, how can you be so mad?! How can you still be the prince of my Datang, and how can you be the prince of my Datang?! ”

The crown prince Li Ying had slowly closed his eyes, and Li Yao, the king of E, was stunned, but the king of light thought of something, and hurriedly walked forward on his knees, hugging Li Longji's legs: "I know!" It's Concubine Wu Hui! It's her framing her children and so on! Since she knew that we had sent someone to King Shou's house, she deliberately made people say those rebellious words in front of the eyes of the son, so that the son and the others thought that King Shou was going to rebel! It's also her, let Er and others think that King Shou is going to do it tonight, so there is everything tonight! Aya, the child was killed by Concubine Wu Hui, Aya must believe in the child, Aya! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's heart sank when he heard this-what King Guang said was not impossible, but Li Longji didn't believe it anymore.

And this is inevitably a too dangerous move, if you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire...... No, it won't! She suddenly knew why she had to be involved this time. If Li Longji believed in these three sons, then Concubine Wu Hui, King Shou and even her would have become a great rebel. She will definitely not help King Shou rebel, this Li Longji knows better than anyone else, what kind of child King Shou is, he knows better, as for Concubine Wu Hui, since she has been tied to her and King Shou at this time, there is no reason not to believe it.

In this way, no matter what the third prince says, it will be useless. What's more, compared to murdering their mother-in-law and younger brother, there is a more serious crime that weighs on their heads.

"Then tell me, why didn't you immediately report to me after knowing that Eighteen Lang 'rebelled'?"

King Guang was stunned for a moment: "It's because of ......"

"It's because you want to get the stolen goods." Li Longji said coldly, "Why do you have to get the stolen goods, is it just because you are worried that your words are unfounded?" No, it's because after the stolen goods are seized, they have no room to turn over. You don't want the life of Eighteen Lang tonight, but you want to plant the weapon to Eighteen Lang, and then you will tie Eighteen Lang into the palace, when the time comes, you will be a meritorious man, and Concubine Hui and Eighteen Lang, even if it is Xian Yi and Taihua, I will deal with it, I am afraid that they will not die well. ”

This passage was half-true to the three princes, and they finally had no way to refute it.

"That's not what I hate the most." Li Longji ordered someone to drag King Guang back from his side to the crown prince and the king of E, then turned around and picked up a letter from the imperial case, and smashed it towards the prince's face, "I didn't know that the prince was so capable, so that all the princes and princes can serve you!" ”

There is a monarch's father alive, but the prince and the prince are all on the side of the prince's brother, which is unbearable as long as he is an emperor. This is also the reason why Xiao Jiangyuan decided to stand by and watch when he knew that there was something else going on in this matter.

If they didn't have tonight's incident, but directly presented the song to Li Longji, there would be no good results. Regardless of whether the rebellion is chasing after the wind and shadows, there is no evidence, just talking about this group of princes grouping together and letting the monarch's father deal with his mother and brother, it is already a heinous crime.

If it is serious, this is the forced palace, and it is still the biggest scandal in the heavenly family since Li Longji ascended the throne.

The law does not blame the public, and it is impossible for Li Longji to punish all his sons at once, but the person who takes the lead is duty-bound. Li Longji personally drafted it, and abolished the crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao and the king of light Li Ju as concubines.

King E and King Guang kowtowed and pleaded one after another, but the crown prince Li Ying opened his eyes, without fear or panic on his face. Under Li Longji's unexpected and increasingly angry gaze, he personally took off his hair crown, threw it on the ground, got up and took off a brocade robe, and stepped on it. Since he became the crown prince, he has never looked directly at his father, but now he is staring straight at it.

Only a white coat remained on his body, and his expression and voice did not change or fluctuate in any way: "Aye, you are sorry for me in this life." ”

"What did you say?" Li Longji was about to be furious.

"A king can't become a king, a minister can't become a minister, a father can't become a father, a son can't become a son......" Li Ying no longer paid attention to everything in this hall, turned around, and walked outside the hall step by step.

"Do you think I don't know what you said in the East Palace?!" Li Longji roared angrily, "You envy Li Chongjun? Do you want to have soldiers in your hands? What are you going to do with the soldiers, is it really just to protect yourself? Do you still envy me, envy me for being so lucky back then, and you have been the prince for 20 years...... What are you doing?! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes were quick, and he had already sent someone to grab Li Ying, and did not let him jump directly from the main building of the diligent government.

Li Longji gritted his teeth and said: "...... these three rebels Locked in Dali Temple! ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
