[Chapter 18: Is It Right or Evil] (2)
Everyone has their own understanding and pursuit, good and evil, who is right and wrong, there is nothing to blame, it is not something that she Xiao Jiangyuan can manage, and she doesn't want to care. She just needs to keep her heart.
However, her former heart has been buried deep in Qianling, what will she do after that?
Because of the curfew system, after the dusk drum is beaten, the people, regardless of whether they are high or low, must return to the square, and no one is allowed to stay on the street, so the huge Chang'an City is particularly quiet and empty in the middle of the night. She galloped on horseback, and the city walls flashed in front of her eyes and in her mind, but she felt inexplicably at ease. Seeing the majestic and magnificent Daming Palace getting closer and closer, she suddenly remembered that Wu Cao once said: "This is my Great Zhou, and it is also my Great Tang." ”
The knot in my heart immediately peeled off the cocoon, scattered and untied, lingered in all directions, and slowly disappeared without a trace.
Wu Cao has never left, every brick and tile in Luoyang, Chang'an, and every grass and tree in the Tang Dynasty are all her.
Her mind suddenly became clear, she only felt that she had motivation all over her body, spurred her horse, and soon arrived at the Jianfu Gate of Daming Palace.
"Who's coming?" In front of the Jianfu Gate, there are soldiers blocking the road.
Xiao Jiangyuan immediately dismounted and rushed over in a panic, as if something had really happened. She tightly grabbed the soft armor of the gatekeeper, and kept saying: "There is a change in Qianling!" Qianling has changed! Let me enter the palace and meet the saint! Let me enter the palace and meet the saint! ”
The gatekeeper was stunned, and when he heard that there was a change in Qianling, he was immediately shocked: "Wait for me to ...... general."
"How can I wait for you for such a big thing?! Where are your generals? ”
"So-and-so is here." A man with white eyebrows and white beard, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the moonlight. The curvature of the thin lips is somewhat similar to Li Longji, and Xiao Jiangyuan is slightly stunned when he sees it. She immediately recovered, went straight to the man, bowed first, and was about to speak, when she heard the other party say, "I know who you are, but you probably don't know who you are." A certain surname is Li, a thousand miles away, and Xiao Nei is fine. ”
This man who speaks calmly and steadily, seems to be old, but his eyes are shining, is Li Qianli? Xiao Jiangyuan only felt that it was not quite in line with her imagination, she thought that only those people who were short-sighted and uneducated, or people who were as upright as their brains and bodies like Li Duozuo, would be coaxed into this coup d'état by Li Chongjun. And why does such a person have to be involved regardless of life and death?
Yes...... She almost forgot that he was from the Li Tang clan, and he finally escaped a catastrophe during the Wu Cao period because of his repeated auspicious offerings, and now seeing that the Wu family is still above the court, can he not be afraid or hate?
Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it while hurriedly saying, "General Li is polite. Since the general knows who the slave and maid are, then please hurry up and let the slave and maid into the palace, the slave and maid have important matters and must meet the saint, quickly! ”
Li Qianli frowned and said, "How can the palace gate easily let people in?" I also hoped that Xiao Neishou would tell him what had happened, so I heard Xiao Neishou say that there were changes in Qianling, what were the variables, could you tell one or two, and I would know whether Xiao Neishou should be let in. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan immediately said angrily: "There is a change in the imperial mausoleum, it is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty!" For such a major event, the slave maid did not inform the saint first, but wanted to let the general know a little bit about it, the general is so majestic! ”
When Li Qianli met Wu Cao, he saw Xiao Jiangyuan a few times, and naturally recognized him. But at that time, Xiao Jiangyuan was easy-going and smiling, but he didn't expect that there would be times when he was angry, and he was angry, and he had a little bit of the momentum of the Queen of Heaven, and Li Qianli couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing Li Qianli's expression change slightly, Xiao Jiangyuan's heart was a little settled, and he was also very helpless. She has never been angry since she was a child, so she had to learn from Wu Cao's appearance, just to scare this old general who had been currying favor with Wu Cao, so she heard Li Qianli say in a deep voice: "Xiao Nei Shi don't be annoyed." If it is really as Xiao Neishou said, he will not only let Xiao Neishou in, but also personally escort Xiao Neishou to the saint, but now Xiao Neishou said that there is no evidence, how can he call so? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan withdrew his anger at this time, revealing a little sadness: "The slave and maid did not want to embarrass the general, but the miracle is fleeting, and the slave and maid are just mortals, I am afraid that it will be too late, and the heavens will bring the miracle back. ”
Li Qianli saw that Xiao Jiangyuan was speaking so seriously, and he felt that it was not a lie. Regardless of her, a powerless and powerless servant, she ran back from Qianling without authorization, if there was no reason to be guilty of meritorious service, how dare she, even if she dared, how could she be so coincidental that she appeared here tonight? Thinking that after a while, the prince and the others should arrive, Li Qianli couldn't help but think, could it be that Qianling has changed and said this?
At this time, Xiao Jiangyuan said slowly: "Isn't it...... The general has other things to do, so it's inconvenient to let the slaves in? ”
Li Qianli's heart immediately sank. This little eunuch doesn't know anything, does he? But she was in Qianling, how could she know about the prince's conspiracy with them and others? Could it be that there is a traitor? Even if there were, why did the traitor go all the way to tell Xiao Jiangyuan, instead of directly telling the sage? Even if the status of the traitor is low, it is not enough to meet the saint, so why find Xiao Jiangyuan? How capable can she, a young eunuch with no future, have?
The thought in his heart could not turn for a moment, in order to ensure safety, Li Qianli's hand still held the handle of the knife, but was then gently held down by Xiao Jiangyuan. At the same time, Xiao Jiangyuan leaned close to his ear and said softly: "The slave dares to ask General Li, is there a big change tonight?" Seeing the ruthlessness in Li Qianli's eyes flashing, she hurriedly said, "The new monarch should come out!" ”
Li Qianli was stunned, his body suddenly froze, and he saw Xiao Jiangyuan standing two steps back, his back straight, and his hands smiling, as he had seen in the past, as if what he had just seen was just a dream.
Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Don't worry, the general doesn't mean anything else, just to find a way out for herself." Can the general know that what the slave and maid said is a sentence in the Qianling Change? ”
Li Qianli didn't keep up with Xiao Jiangyuan's thinking for a while, and only thought that although they were under the banner of killing traitors this night, but Xingbing Gongque is Xingbing Gongque, and they are still unjustifiable, and now with this miracle, even if they force the saint to abdicate tonight, they are also famous!
When the prince said that he would only kill Wu Sansi's family and Shangguan Wan'er, he didn't agree, Wu Sansi should be killed the most, but if things change, the prince will not kill the saint at that time, but he is afraid that the saint will kill the prince, but the prince said that killing the traitor can be described as the side of the Qing monarch, and forcing the throne is a rebellion, as long as Wu Sansi and others die, the saint will be sage, and there is no need to be so disloyal and unfilial.
Thinking of the crown prince Li Chongjun, Li Qianli sighed in his heart, it is true that he is impulsive and immature, but young people always have to go through some things before they can be polished and matured, isn't this also the reason why he chose to follow the prince? He is still a young man, and he will not be as old as a saint in the future.
Thinking about it like this, Li Qianli looked at Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes with a little more abruptness - this little eunuch wants to return to Chang'an at any cost, and the miracles she sees must be true, otherwise she herself will not be able to explain. And her presence here tonight is not so much a coincidence as it is predestined.
God opens his eyes, to help my prince, help me Datang!
Li Qianli still didn't dare to tell Xiao Jiangyuan everything, and only guarded her personally, planning to deal with it by the prince after he arrived. He thought that Xiao Jiangyuan would definitely ask or be unwilling, so that he could see from it again, whether everything before her was illusory, but in fact it was not good.
But I didn't want her to see his disposition, so she only smiled faintly, and then said no more, looking like you love to believe it or not. Seeing that she was always standing with her back straight, facing the long street outside the Jianfu Gate, holding her hands in her hands, as if she was looking forward to the arrival of someone, Li Qianli was convinced and couldn't help but sigh secretly at the same time, she was worthy of being a person who had been by the side of Empress Zetian.
- He refused to let her into the palace or tell her anything, but he still had to guard her, didn't he tell her plainly that she guessed right?
The string that was tight under Xiao Jiangyuan's heart finally loosened a little.
She had long known that this door was not easy to enter, and she did not have much hope for the possibility of rushing in by a miracle, so from the beginning, she planned to enter with Li Chongjun, and she made several preparations for this. If she has time, she will first see if Li Qianli is not there, it is best to be there, the trust of a general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, in Li Chongjun's view, naturally has a lot of weight, if she is not there, she can only retreat to the second, in short, you must see what kind of person the other party is, then you can apply both soft and hard, and prescribe the right medicine; If it's too late, it's going to be a little harder. After all, according to her family, if she wants to directly gain Li Chongjun's trust, she still has to have their own people to help her.
At the moment, she's in luck.
Before long, Li Chongjun led the soldiers and horses to arrive. They looked like they had just been drenched in a bloody rain, they looked a little embarrassed, but their expressions were all excited, and Li Duozuo was carrying the bloody heads of Wu Sansi's father and son in his hands, and his morale was greatly boosted in one fell swoop.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan, Li Chongjun was also surprised. He still remembered that when Xiao Jiangyuan took the blame on the Shangyang Palace Polo Field, he was still relieved, but unfortunately Xiao Jiangyuan was unlucky and ran into his coup d'état, and he could only ......
Li Chongjun just wanted to give his entourage a look, but when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan's face full of surprise and reverence, he knelt down and shouted: "Slave and maid bow to the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Seeing that Li Qianli and other soldiers also knelt down together, Li Chongjun was a little stunned for a while: "You ...... Say what? ”
"Dare to ask the prince, is that Wu Sansi's father and son?" Xiao Jiangyuan only glanced at the two colorful and messy things, and lowered his eyes politely-cough, she really couldn't see this kind of thing.
"Exactly."
"That's it!" Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile, "The slave and maid rushed back to Chang'an today, because there was a change in Qianling, and there was no word on the stone tablet of the Queen of Heaven, but at noon today, eight big characters suddenly appeared: traitor and mislead the country, the new monarch should come out!" The prince killed Wu Sansi and other traitors, Kuang Fu Datang Sheji, and he is the honor of the East Palace, isn't it the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty! Please be worshipped by the slave and the maid! ”
