Chapter 800: The Imperial Court's Reaction
Emperor Taishang stood on the ground sluggishly, obviously unable to accept this exciting news coming out of Li Heng's mouth, Li Heng immediately waved his hand and summoned several palace maids, and ordered: "Hurry up and bathe and change clothes for Emperor Taishang, boil another bowl of ginger soup, and temporarily settle in Zichen Hall to rest." β
Who knew that Li Longji waved his hand weakly and said, "No need, you still ask them to send me back to the Divine Dragon Palace." β
Li Heng seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, raised his palm and turned to walk towards the temple gate. Governor Li Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the emperor's gaze at this moment, he also felt a little amiable, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring the emperor's chariot, and summoned dozens of palace maids to go to the Shenlong Palace with umbrellas to serve.
He was standing at the door of the hall at the moment, and he didn't feel wet and cold when the rain fell on his shoulders, and ordered to the left and right attendants: "Put Liu Fu, who is in charge of the Shenlong Palace, to death, and transfer Gao Lishi, who was on an errand in the Yeting Palace, to be without the company of the emperor." β
As soon as he returned to the entrance of the corridor of the apse, he heard the sound of metal utensils ping pong and porcelain shattering inside, and hurriedly walked in to take a look, Li Heng, the master of desktop cleaning, stood in front of the desk, and only felt that it was not enjoyable, so he only took off the royal treasure knife from the wall, and chopped it on the table with both hands and only cut sawdust flying, and several eunuchs and palace maids trembled with fright.
Li Fuguo hurriedly said: "Hurry up and pack up your things and retreat." β
Li Henghong said to Li Fuguo with red eyes: "Go to Xiliang Palace, go and arrest Li Siye's wife and biological son for me!" β
"The slave has already sent someone, but it is three impostors who have been arrested, and I am afraid that the real body has been secretly picked up by him after Li Siye was sent to Luoyang."
Li Fuguo said and waved his hand, and a warrior had already brought a woman and two children, a man and a woman, into the inner hall, and the woman was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The emperor spares his life!" Spare my life, I was only hired by their family for money, they gave me sixty pieces of silk, I should be damned, I should not be greedy for this money. β
The woman's rustic temperament is too different from that of Princess Xiliang, how could Li Heng not be able to tell the difference? She knocked five or six times on the floor tiles and almost passed out. Li Fuguo waved his hand in disgust: "Pull them out and kill them, don't stain Your Majesty's study." β
Li Heng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "It's just greedy for money, the crime is not death, and the two children are also innocent, let them go." β
"But," the emperor said, "Since he entered the capital, there have been Longwu soldiers guarding the gate of the palace, what are they doing with food?" Can't even look at a woman and two children? β
Li Fuguo hurriedly knelt on the ground and crossed his hands: "This is the dereliction of duty of the slave maid, after the slave goes down, it will be strictly investigated, and the person who let go of Li Siye's family will definitely be brought to justice." However, Li Siye's eldest son Li Chongyun is in charge of the Long Xiang Army and is responsible for the night ban in Chang'an City, maybe Li Twelve Niang and her children escaped, and they will definitely not be able to get rid of him, and the Long Xiang Army will be handed over to such a person, and the safety of Chang'an and His Majesty is worrying. β
Li Heng gritted his teeth and said: "Quickly lead the troops to Princess Yonghe's mansion, arrest Li Chongyun for me, and wait, first take out a few of Li Chongyun's henchmen in the Long Xiang army, so as not to cause any extraneous branches." β
"Whoa." Li Fuguo turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned around again, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, Princess Yonghe has been pregnant for more than seven months. β
Li Heng closed his eyes with difficulty: "I still have to arrest her, and the child in Yonghe's belly can't be kept, so I'll keep her for the time being, and I'll talk about it later." β
β¦β¦
On Princess Yonghe's mansion, hundreds of Longwu soldiers rushed into the mansion and put a knife on Li Chongyun's neck to bring him out. β
The soldiers crossed their hands and said, "Don't embarrass us people, my lord, we are also following Your Majesty's will." β
Li Chongyun turned his head and advised: "Princess, don't care about me, you have to take care of your children, and you also have to take care of your body." When he said this, the princess was even more sad, and she cried out in pain: "Yunlang, I will go and ask to see Your Majesty later!" I'm going to get you out. β
Li Chongyun turned back again and again under the escort of the soldiers: "Don't be sad for me, you have to live well and take care of the children!" β
Such a sincere scene can rarely be seen in the emperor's house, and even if there is, it will quickly kill you in the cradle. After Li Chongyun was escorted, he was directly imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison as a special prisoner.
Princess Yonghe went to see her father, and knelt outside the palace gate with a big belly, but the emperor did not pity her body at all, and ordered the eunuch not to let her in. The poor princess knelt outside the palace gate for more than two hours, and she couldn't support the shock and fell to the ground, and in the end she was just waiting for her father's henchman and eunuch Li Fuguo.
Li Fuguo just put his hands in his sleeves, and his eyes were cold and unsympathetic: "Tsk, how can Her Royal Highness the princess damage his daughter's body for the son of a traitor?" The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, do you know that you are the biggest unfilial piety? β
"Gorou, please let me go to see my father, Yun Lang and I really love each other, Gorou, you have witnessed all this, and my father has personally blessed us, Yun Lang has never thought of betraying his father."
Li Fuguo just sighed coldly and said: "As a child of the emperor's family, you can believe in such a thing as love, when your father let you get married, the original purpose was also to marry, I advised the princess not to intercede for the concubine, this will only make your father hate you even more." Come a few people and invite the princess back to the princess's mansion! β
β¦β¦
The envoy of the Seven Sections, who participated in the Battle of Xiangzhou, was summoned back to Beijing and was about to explain the course of the entire campaign and the process of Li Siye's seizure of power at the court meeting. The root cause of the defeat of all battles lies in the generals, and according to the facts that have taken place so far, the Hexi Army, which first mutinied, was led by Yu Chaoen, and he has an unshirkable responsibility. But usually the eunuchs in the deep palace have a strong ability called throwing the pot, and after the defeat, Yu Chaoen immediately wrote thousands of words to the emperor to shirk his responsibility.
He avoided his own mistakes in the recital, saying that Li Siye's seizure of power had been planned for a long time, and his biggest mistake was kindness, and he did not concentrate on cleaning up the middle-level and grass-roots officers of the Hexi Army, and was accidentally deceived by villains. However, after the three armies of Hebei Ting, Anxi and West followed Li Siye's rebellion, our Tang army was not defeated, and if it could take the initiative to retreat or remain vigilant, it would still be able to maintain the situation. However, the origin of the defeat was that Guo Ziyi went to visit Li Siye after the rebellion through the friendship of his colleagues, and he did not get the consent of my Yu Chaoen. He didn't know what he talked about with Li Siye, but after he came back, he swore that Li Siye would definitely focus on the overall situation, but in the end he was defeated in front of the Anyang River, please Your Majesty will investigate clearly.
This is purely a misleading remark to throw the pot, although the way is very clumsy, but at a time when the emperor highly trusts the eunuchs and is extremely suspicious of the generals, it is still very convincing. Guo Ziyi could have defended bluntly, but he was extremely aware of the situation in front of him, and if he had a tearing debate with the eunuchs, it would be easy for people to think that it was a struggle between the military attachΓ© group and the eunuch collective, which made the emperor deepen his reading comprehension more and more, and his suspicion of the military generals would become deeper and deeper.
Guo Ziyi had no choice but to take all the sins of this battle, but it made it difficult for the emperor and the eunuch group to start, and Li Heng finally dismissed Guo Ziyi's deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and asked him to step down from his post as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu and return to Chang'an to hibernate. Yu Chaoen, who was the biggest responsible person for this fiasco, was only demoted to the rank of lieutenant envoy and served as the supervisor of the Shuofang Jiedu envoy.
No wonder Yan Xiaosi mutinied and killed Yu Chaoen unsuccessfully, and after meeting with Li Siye, he talked about this matter with a little regret, Li Siye was very happy, saying that the position in the future is different, but Yu Chaoen is the biggest helper of reverse output, which is completely equivalent to lurking in the enemy and our inner ghost, which is similar to a certain founding country.
