Chapter 32 The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die
Actually, they all died of illness, at least, on the surface. But in the harem, the spearhead was pointed at Concubine Liang, that is, Zhu Li's sister-in-law.
The Emperor's Palace, like all animal worlds, was hierarchical. The highest rank has nothing to do with the emperor's love, but with the balance of power in the court. Of course, this is not absolute, but for the most part. Because he and Zhu Li were friends before they ascended the throne, and they had friends since they were young, they always had some true feelings, so Han Mou was very fond of Concubine Liang. It's just because of the power of the Shi clan or something, because the latter is the daughter of the Du family.
The wolf has more meat and less meat, in order to compete for this piece of "dragon meat", the harem is the battlefield, it is impossible for the kind and simple to survive, and the good concubine can spoil the harem, in addition to her brother, she also has the means, and it is inevitable that she will do something selfish. came and went, because the two princes who died young, were caught by people and accused of murdering the emperor's heir.
She may have been wronged, or she may have something to do with the prince's untimely death. In short, Han Mou was angry and sent her into the cold palace. Not long after, without waiting for the emperor's grace to release, she fell seriously ill and died, which is also unknown. Because of this incident, Zhu Li had a conflict with the emperor, and there was a causal relationship with the rebellion three years later.
That year, a caravan bound for the Western Regions passed through Youzhou City, and Luo Li, the governor of Youzhou, intercepted something remarkable: a very accurate, recently changed, and extremely secret, defense map of the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty.
This is a great military secret, because in ancient times, the dissemination of information was not developed, and the reconnaissance of the enemy's military situation relied on scouts or elaborate work that had been lurking for many years. That's why it's important to have a map like this. Although the Tang Dynasty was strong and the Turks were no longer able to invade, it was possible to drive strong horses and crossbows, plunder the borders, and cause chaos in local areas. If the Turks can unite the Western Regions. The invasion of the whole line was also a great trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and even the loss of large tracts of land that was not yet firmly ruled caused the border defense line to shrink sharply.
Dragons have reverse scales. If you touch it, you will die.
Destroying the Turkic royal court, unifying the Western Regions, and subsuming a large area of the Altai Mountains into the territory of the Tang Dynasty was Han Mou's rebellion.
How important is this map? He is concerned with the loss of absolute military superiority. It is related to the lives of many people, and even the Tang Dynasty's foreign policy and border strategy in the following decades. And there are no more than ten people who can get this map, and even a feudal official like Luo Li, a border minister, can't know all the maps. I just know that I am guarding that area.
As the youngest Grand Sikong at that time, the title was the Duke of Xianguo, and the rank was two levels higher than Du Heng, who was still Shang Shuling, Zhu Li was one of the ten. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair" is terrible, in the lower layer of the box containing this map. And a letter. It was a handwritten letter from Zhu Li to the Western Turkic king Bagotur. Among them, there is no agreement on how to start an incident and how to divide the spoils, as is the case with ordinary rebels. Strictly speaking, it was a letter of ten proposals, pointing out ten good ways to unify the Western Regions. It is said that it is very insightful and can be regarded as a deafening and talented work. It has never been summarized and written by anyone. If Bago Turken does this, within ten years, he will become a confidant of Datang.
If this ten proposals were to change the subject-predicate vocabulary and present it to Han Mou, he would inevitably pay more attention to it, and then implement it skillfully, giving Zhu Li greater trust and praise. However, Zhu Li dedicated this resourceful work that could shake the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty to the master of his previous dynasty. That will bring harm to Datang, which is an act of treason.
At the same time, in the Xianguo Mansion in Beijing, Zhu Li's most trusted scribe submitted a letter to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, accusing Zhu Li of rebellion. He also presented a list of the personnel and arrangements of the intelligence organization that Zhu Li had established in three years since the death of Concubine Liang. Among them, there are many people from the Western Regions, as well as many Turkic nobles and descendants who did not have time to flee after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which clearly served the old Turkic masters.
The evidence is ironclad, and Zhu Li is speechless. But even so, Han Mou, who was affectionate and not suspicious, refused to give an order to judge this big case, and had to try it in person. But at the time of the imperial trial, Zhu Li suddenly assassinated Han Mou. The result was naturally unsuccessful, he immediately committed suicide and died under Han Mou's nose. When he was dying, he kept screaming great rebellious words.
Han Mou was sad and angry, so he allowed Du Heng and the officials of the same trial to make a mistake, and conspired against the crime according to the head of the ten evils. Zhu Li is dead, but he still punishes his nine clans.
In this way, this case of rebellion has become an ironclad case. Five years ago, for some reason, Han Mou suddenly wanted to retry the case, and Xu Wenchong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also personally went to other places to collect evidence.
When Du Hanyu and Chun Tuyu talked about this case, they were talking about five years ago, but in fact, it was the second trial, and it was also the first time it was turned over.
"Tu Yu, the past is dusty, and the evidence of the verdict is sufficient, Xu Wenchong was so shrewd and capable back then, but he ended up dying outside Chang'an City, you can't take it lightly." After saying these things, Bai Jingyuan looked at his granddaughter worriedly.
"Grandfather, Lord Xu was killed, someone hired the Wolf Eye Organization to act." Chun Tu frowned lightly, "What does this mean?" It shows that Lord Xu must have mastered something, so he will incur the disaster of killing. If it weren't for that, he also felt the right direction and touched the sore spot of the people behind the scenes. It also shows that Zhu Li's case is really a big injustice. Did you know? If this case can be turned over, there will be only benefits to the emperor and no harm, and he will definitely be happy to see it come to fruition. Because, the people have a strange cognition: when the emperor let the unjust case happen, he was deceived by his courtiers. Now that he has made Zhu Li unjust, he is wise and martial. If he can make a guilty edict or something, this kind of behavior that can be corrected will also give him extra points and make him a famous king through the ages. ”
It's really strange why the people are so kind that they always forgive the higher-ups? This is a very incisive pattern that she found from reading a very bad history. She has an occupational disease and likes to look for patterns and logic.
"Do you want your grandfather to fold and pat the emperor's ass?" Bai Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, "It's better to be a foreshadowing first, so as not to offend the emperor's self-esteem and provoke the emperor to turn his face?" ”
"Grandfather, this is related to the emperor's image, as a close minister, you have the obligation to remind." Chun Tu said with a smile, "Besides, the foreshadowing is for my granddaughter." Even if it's a sycophant, if you can make the emperor comfortable, it's good for your own family, of course, you have to start first, and the fat and water won't flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
This is the case. It made Bai Jingyuan laugh again. In the big study, the heavy atmosphere was also swept away because of the recollection of Zhu Li's rebellion. Bai Wei, who was outside the door, couldn't help but smile when he heard the interaction between the grandparents and grandchildren in the room. Xiangye hasn't been so happy for many years, no matter whose daughter Miss Six is. But it must be the real Bai family. He fought with all his might, but he also had to protect.
On August 23, the autumn was crisp and the weather was sunny. Without restraint.
The vicinity of the prison of the Criminal Department is heavily guarded, and pedestrians are not allowed to walk around at will a few streets away, because the emperor wants to try the case of the Western Turkic prince in the public court of the Criminal Department. The descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty sneaked into the capital, accompanied by a little peachy news with Miss Fengguo's mansion. However, it was convicted by the public court, not by the emperor's holy judgment, which was the first time in Datang. No. It should be said. Unprecedented.
And the emperor's royal trial, naturally the people were not allowed to come to watch, but Chun Tuyi tried his best to persuade Han Mou to make his official affairs transparent, so that the people would not guess, but it would be conducive to stability. Therefore, there are still some students and college gentlemen who have been examined by the eight generations of ancestors plus the social relations in recent years, as well as the behavior of the students. There are also a small number of court officials, who are allowed to participate in court trials, and can also disseminate what happened in the court to the outside world, as long as it is truth-seeking, and there can be no fabrication, fabrication, and lies. Otherwise, the offense is judged according to its gravity.
Of course, it is a matter of the Son of Heaven and the king of a country, and the security check work of the ancient Tang Dynasty is also very strict. Searches are a normal procedure, and the pen and paper that are allowed to be carried must be reviewed at least three times. Food and water are provided by the Criminal Department, but when you take them or go to the toilet later, you have to apply for them and line up, and they will be taken by the officers of the Criminal Department. In addition, they are not allowed to move during the court hearing, and can only move during breaks.
In court, two shifts of officers were replaced by the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Forest Army is all the children of the nobility, and they are all tall and handsome. In addition, in terms of clothing, such as people from other branches of the military, are noble and exquisite, and the red and black military uniforms of Yishui are very suitable and rich in accessories. The head is tied with a black forehead, the corners and placket of the clothes are embroidered with unified ancient runes, and the sword is held with a halberd.
Spring Tu Yu arrived early, still men's clothes, black large-sleeved robes with silver threads, very scribe style, plus black hoods and black thin-soled boots, only a dark gray leather belt around the waist.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you have a soap, and the black color makes her little face doughy and tender. Although she is holding a folding fan that has recently become popular in Chang'an, and occasionally opens it, it looks extremely discordant, but it is strangely good-looking, so that other people's eyes can't help but fall on her.
"Tud." I was peeking out of the small room on the side of the public hall to check the security check, and a warm voice came from behind me.
"Xiaozheng!" Chun Tu put on a smile and turned around, and then the little ghost approached and said in a low voice, "I know that the emperor will definitely take you with me." Well, for some reason, I'm still surprised to see you. ”
Kang Zhengyuan Waner.
This girl is aggressive in the court, scheming, sharp-tongued, and unfavorable, like a sword. But in private, there are often such silly and cute behaviors, which make people ...... How can you completely let go of it in the bottom of your heart.
His gaze swept greedily over Chun Tuyi's body, and then he restrained himself and settled down, and said with a smile, "I'm also very happy to see you, everyone has been busy recently, and they haven't seen each other." Fearless ......"
