The people of Chang'an City found that the crazy rumor was actually true!

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to kill three sons in one day!

The crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju were first demoted to concubines on the same day, and then they were ordered to commit suicide in the east post outside Chang'an City!

The bodies of the crown prince and the two kings have been hanging on the beams of the east post of the city for a day, and no one has collected them.

It's not hard to see why.

Everyone knows that it is very inappropriate to put it in this way, but without Li Longji's order, from the prime minister to the post guard, who would be willing to take this head and collect the bodies of the former prince and the two princes.

Whoever comes out on top means that there is a great possibility of losing office, or even losing one's life.

No one wants to take such a risk!

This extremely controversial upheaval was resolved privately by means of a coup d'état.

Even Zhang Jiuling, the right minister, and Li Linfu, the left minister, were notified to them by Gao Lishi after the three kings were given to die.

On this day, Li Longji's will is the master of Chang'an City.

Its actions are swift and its methods are so fierce that even in the period when Wu Zetian was in power, even in the era when cool officials were rampant, it was rare, and it could even be said to be the first time since the first century.

Even the notorious Lai Junchen during the Wu Zhou period, when he got rid of a certain minister or prince, he had to fabricate charges for interrogation, and let the officials of the criminal department participate in a formality!

Li Longji actually went through any formalities, without the participation of any judicial officials, and without the almost complete knowledge of the foreign dynasty, he directly forced the crown prince and the king of Eguang to death.

and ordered the corpse to be violently killed in the post station for three days.

This order made everyone in Chang'an City feel an inexplicable suffocation.

Although Li Longji did not say what would happen if someone collected the corpses of the three kings, the people who could live in Chang'an were not lacking in eyes.

On this day, not only did the officials who settled in the east post of the city move out in advance, but also there were no new people stationed in it, and all the people who passed by here took a detour.

Not even a single post man was left!

In the study of the diligent government affairs building, Zhang Jiuling's trembling hands were holding a piece of music, and he was hesitating to hand it over.

This is a note about cutting the use of the palace for a long time. However, the killing of the crown prince and the second king disrupted Zhang Jiuling's plan.

His swarthy face looked like that of an old man on the verge of death, having lost most of his vitality and vitality.

Zhang Jiuling's lips trembled slightly, not knowing what to say to Li Longji.

No matter what he said, the dead prince was also completely dead. The dead cannot be resurrected, what can be done about it?

It's too late to say anything!

"Does Zhang Xianggong have anything to say to me?"

Li Longji asked very calmly.

"Back to the saint, the prince is guilty...... But sin is not unto death. ”

Zhang Jiuling said word by word.

"The crown prince and the second king, the witch Gu cursed Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou, and also cursed me, is this also a sin that does not lead to death?"

Li Longji's tone was obviously a little colder.

These things are not clear to Weichen, and there may be twists and turns. However, if the prince is guilty, it is better to hand it over to Zongzheng to deal with, and other personnel in related cases should also be investigated by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. ”

Zhang Jiuling said unrelentingly.

"Are you going to wait for me to die, and then you can check slowly? Could it be that Zhang Xianggong and the prince are accomplices? ”

Li Longji yelled angrily at Zhang Jiuling!

Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty.

They could feel that Li Longji was really angry now.

"Brother Nu, how is Yan Tingzhi's matter?"

Li Longji suddenly changed the topic, he was obviously talking about killing the prince just now, and suddenly turned to Yan Tingzhi.

Zhang Jiuling secretly said something bad in his heart, but his face was still silent.

"Wang Yuanyan, who was previously censored for corruption and perversion of the law, has committed suicide in fear of crime in the Ulzhou Mansion. Yan Tingzhi's defense is self-defeating. If he is really innocent, why did Wang Yuanyan commit suicide?

Let the saints decide. ”

After Li Linfu bowed, he took out an official letter from his cuff and handed it to Li Longji.

As a master of power struggle, Li Linfu either doesn't make a move, as long as he makes a move, the opponent has no chance to fight back. He has already turned Yan Tingzhi's case into an iron case.

And this incident will become the last straw that crushes Zhang Jiuling.

"Dismiss Yan Tingzhi from the post of central squire and demote him to the history of Jiangzhou Assassin."

Li Longji said with a slight wave of his hand.

Yan Tingzhi's entry into the prime minister was not only not done, but he was demoted, which Zhang Jiuling did not expect before.

"Weichen has the duty of negligence, please punish the saint."

Zhang Jiuling also bowed.

Sure enough, Li Longji also waved his hand and didn't say anything.

For an old minister who is about to be ousted as prime minister, what else can he be punished?

The central courtiers, including Li Linfu, seemed to have forgotten that there were three unlucky ghosts who had been given death in the east post of the city, and at this moment, they were hanging on the beams of the house blowing the warm spring breeze.

……

Chengdong Station is the main post station in the east of Chang'an City, and the scale is very large.

But at this moment, its gate was open, and there was not even a ghost shadow inside, and there was not even any forbidden army guarding the surrounding area.

These people are afraid that they will be contaminated with "bad luck" and be involved by the three unlucky ghosts who Li Longji gave him death.

Killing three sons in one day is Li Longji's biggest anger since he ascended the throne! It is an unprecedented vicious political event in the political situation in Chang'an since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

Who dares to pack a ticket and say that the anger in this son of heaven's heart has been exhausted, and he will not vent his anger with the relevant personnel?

Li Longji thought that his three sons died like this, if he felt unwilling, would he find a reason to be angry with the soldiers on duty?

I have to say that this possibility is quite large, and there is no shortage of similar examples in all dynasties.

After all, people sometimes sulk and like to kick small rocks on the side of the road to vent their anger. Did those little stones provoke these sulking people?

Why don't these puppies kick the "big rocks"? It's not because they like to be angry and bully the weak and afraid of the hard!

At this moment, a group of people came to the east gate of the city with an ox cart, led by an eight or nine-year-old child. This group of people was watched from a distance by pedestrians passing by on the official road, but no one dared to go up and talk to them.

There was even a team of soldiers dressed as Jin Wuwei watching from the side, but no one came forward to interrogate.

"Lang Jun, is the battle a little too big for us like this?"

Fang Dafu, who was strong and burly, lowered his head and leaned into Fang Chongyong's ear and whispered.

"No matter how few people there are, they can't move the corpse, after all, a former prince and two former princes are quite heavy?"

Fang Chongyong patiently explained, although what he said was nonsense. What Fang Dafu said was obviously not the same thing as what he explained.

"Lang Jun, then why does the slave hold the gong?"

Fang Laique held a gong in one hand and a mallet in the other, and asked in confusion.

"Just wait for you to bang on the gong and open the way, don't ask too much. We first loaded the bodies into the ox cart, and then after walking half a circle in Chang'an City, we went out through the Yanping Gate on the west side and went directly to the cemetery to bury the three people. ”

Fang Chongyong explained Fang Laique's task, and the group walked into the hall of the Chengdong Station, only to see three people hanging on the high beams of the house here with white silk, looking like an indescribable hanged ghost.

Fang Chongyong held back the tumbling vomit in his abdomen, bowed to the three hanging corpses and said, "Today I will take you into the earth for peace, and I hope you will not be born in the emperor's house in the next life." ”

Then he bowed and said to Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan behind him: "You can turn back when you come here, are you really willing to do this?" Won't you regret it? ”

His tone was very solemn, as long as he left the post station with three corpses, their group of people would be accomplices, and Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan would naturally not be able to escape!

"It's just a saint to kill three sons in one day, and it's really inappropriate to order a violent corpse to be at the post station for three days. In any case, the three princes did not rebel, and it was appropriate to let them be buried after death. It is good for a person to die for his sins, so why bother to humiliate the dead?

Since Xiao Langjun is willing to go for the sake of righteousness, what is my fear of Zhang Xun? Could it be that there is no justice in this prosperous Tang Dynasty? ”

Zhang Xun said categorically, it was obvious that he was going to advance and retreat with Fang Chongyong.

"That's right, and so is so. But instead of going into too much detail here, it is better to load the corpses into ox carts and send them to the cemetery, so that they can be buried in the grave. ”

Xu Yuan suggested with his hand.

Today, Fang Chongyong proposed to help collect the corpses of the three princes early in the morning, and he received strong support from Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan.

In fact, everyone in Chang'an felt that Li Longji's matter was outrageous.

However, no matter how outrageous this matter is, it is also a matter of the emperor's family, and it has nothing to do with the people watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Whether it is a small person or an official family, who wants to get involved in unnecessary trouble?

Except for people like Fang Chongyong who are full of food and support.

After loading the corpse into the ox cart, Fang Dafu didn't have time to drive back to Chang'an, when he saw the group of Jin Wuwei wearing red crotch jackets, and they were stopped in a procession.

These people just surrounded Fang Chongyong and them, but they didn't do anything, they looked like they were trapping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the prince is guilty of, it is also the face of a saint, and it is really inappropriate to hang it on the beam of the post station.

Now I just want them to be buried in the ground, please don't stop them. ”

Fang Chongyong stepped forward and shouted to many soldiers.

No one paid attention to him, but the expression on the faces of the Jinwu guards was noticeably softened, at least they no longer regarded them as thieves.

"If you get out of the way, then the saint will be held accountable later, and at most we will be held accountable.

But if you delay the burial of the prince, if the saint is criticized by the world because of this matter in the future, will the saint remember one day and think that it is because of your nosy affairs that the princes are so violent that they are in the wilderness? ”

Hearing Fang Chongyong's words, the group of Jin Wuwei was very obedient and consciously got out of the way.

A group of Jin Wuwei are loyal to their duties, so the emperor will appreciate them? Reuse them?

That's a lot to think about!

For example, Li Longji wanted to experience a thrill one night, and he was about to do something indescribable on the streets of Chang'an with a young palace maid in his arms.

At this time, the "loyal to duty" Jin Wuwei also has to go up to investigate? Or is it just watching and learning?

The truth is obviously not like this, how can people who can mix in Chang'an City be stupid like that.

Now it is clear that Li Longji has killed three sons in one day, and someone is helping to collect the corpse, so it's okay if you, as Jin Wuwei, don't help, but stop those people from letting the other party build a ladder for Li Longji to step down.

Then you Jin Wuwei will be put to death and alive in the future, and you will only suffer by yourself.

Most of Jin Wuwei's soldiers are from the children of official eunuchs in Chang'an City, so they won't do such stupid things!

Poop!

Fang Laique struck the gong violently and walked in front of the ox cart to open the way. Fang Chongyong, Zhang Xun and others followed the ox cart together, Fang Dafu set up the ox cart, and the group headed towards the Chunming Gate of Chang'an.

The pedestrians who walked in front and were about to enter the city avoided one after another, and the Jinwu guards guarding the city retreated one after another, and the people of good deeds were wondering how Fang Chongyong and his party would die, and Jinwuwei wished they could go quickly.

After entering the city, the melon-eating masses in Chang'an City followed behind the ox cart, all wondering how this matter would end.

……

Li Longji, who was working in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, heard Gao Lishi tell that someone had actually collected the bodies of the former prince Li Ying and the two princes, and was heading towards Yanping Gate in the southwest with an ox cart.

It is clear that these three princes are going to be buried!

"There is such a thing!"

Li Longji was shocked by a thrill, there should be no twists and turns at all this time, but after the matter was done, there were a lot of moths, which is really terrible!

When the father doesn't go to his son's funeral, he actually asks outsiders to do it, does this father still deserve to be called a saint by the people of the world?

Why did Li Longji order to be violently corpsed for three days? Because he hates Li Ying and others?

In fact, this is not the case, because there will be a new round of princely brawl soon, in order to compete for the crown prince.

And Li Longji did this to show those people his determination and will!

If you want to rebel, I will not tolerate it, whether you have it or not!

Li Longji felt that he was so good at least letting the next prince not think about anything wrong.

The meaning of what he meant should be obvious.

But now that someone of good deeds has come out to collect the corpses of the three princes, the situation has become more than expected!

What these people did was to properly slap him Li Longji in the face and tell the world: You are too vicious as a father, not only killed your son, but also ordered a violent corpse for three days!

Didn't you collect their bodies?

Okay, I'll collect their corpses for you!

See if you, the father, are hard-hearted, and see what the world will think of you, a tyrant who is more fierce than a tiger!

Are you going to stop me? Then look around and ask the people who are watching what they think of you?

"Whoever is the obstruction, I will kill him!"

Li Longji gritted his teeth and said to Gao Lishi.

"Sage, this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is better to let the slave go over there and take a look.

If the affairs of the three kings are left to the saints, where will the saints bury them? It's better to leave this trouble to someone else. ”

Colliers suggested in a whisper.

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said:

"You're right, it's better to let them bury the bodies of those three rebels."

He suddenly remembered that after the death of the members of the royal family, they would eventually choose a piece of feng shui treasure land for burial.

Killing three sons in one day, if they are buried properly, will people feel that they regret killing them? This is clearly inappropriate.

If you don't bury it, then you can't hang the body in the post station all the time, right?

Li Longji suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be handled by external forces, and it was not entirely a bad thing.

"Go ahead and ask, if they don't ask for anything else... You put these people in prison first, and then I will question them face to face. ”

Li Longji waved his hand impatiently and said.

What he didn't know was that the young man who helped him collect the bodies of the princes would cause him countless troubles.
