Chapter 37—Death or Acceptance (I)
Early in the morning, the old housekeeper knocked on the door of the Tang Dynasty very uninterestingly: "Oh no, my lord, we are surrounded!" ”
The old butler's voice was hoarse, hasty, and there was a feeling of impatience, in his impression, the Tang Dynasty was a dignified Huangmen squire, and he was already equivalent to the prime minister, and he didn't expect to be surrounded by officials and soldiers, which was a matter of great loss of dignity to the Tang Mansion for him.
Tang Chao jumped up, put on his clothes, looked at Princess Xinling curled up in the quilt, and comforted: "Xin'er, don't be afraid, I'll go and see!" ”
Princess Xinling didn't know, but knew the consequences of doing this, but she still did it last night, she felt that only by doing this could she make her father completely dead and no longer embarrassed the Tang Dynasty. Although she is a gentle woman, it is just the temperament cultivated by many years of culture, and she is still a smart and resolute woman in her heart, so she resolutely did so.
What kind of person is the Tang Dynasty, with the increase of martial arts, there are fewer and fewer things in the world that can make him jealous, knowing that the princess does not return to the palace, he can make himself lose his head, but thinking that the raw rice has been cooked, can Li Longji really kill himself, so he is very relieved.
It wasn't until now that the mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers that he felt a slight panic.
Tang Dynasty and Zhuan Xin came to the gate together, looked out, their faces changed color, there were many sergeants outside the door, I am afraid that there are not two or three thousand people, and it is not an ordinary internal forbidden army, but the Shence army led by Ma Zhengzhang, and the leader is Ma Zhengzhang.
"Ma Jinwu, what are you doing here? Sending troops to surround the dignified Huangmen Shilang Mansion, what crime should you be guilty of? The Tang Dynasty was very angry and had to bluff first.
Ma Zhengzhang was recently promoted to the rank of Zhijinwu, but he still commanded the Shence Army, and his official position was even more prominent. After all, among the Jingshi, the one with absolute combat effectiveness is the Shence army under him, and the rest of the nearly 100,000 defense troops, in terms of elite, are a cut behind the Shence army.
Ma Zhengzhang smiled coldly: "By the emperor's order, send troops to capture the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"What, what's that charge?" Tang Chao shouted.
Ma Zhengzhang shook his head and said: "Lord Tang, you are too ignorant, I also look at the sake of being a minister in the same palace as you, to save you some face, I can't imagine that you are so arrogant, the emperor's will, can you also ask?" Then I have to send troops to attack your mansion, and when the time comes, the whole mansion will be beheaded, no wonder this official! ”
Tang Dynasty was depressed, the emperor wanted to see him, just send someone to pass on a word, but now he made such a big move, he simply regarded himself as a prisoner, but after thinking about it, Ma Zhengzhang was just acting on orders, and it didn't mean anything to annoy him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ma Zhengzhang's hand: "Lord Ma, the emperor wants to see me, just see me, why bother to capture it, lose face in the court!" ”
He said these words very lightly, and at the same time handed over the silver ticket of 20,000 taels in his hand.
What kind of person Ma Zhengzhang is, in the corner of his eye, he has already seen the ticket appear red, knowing that it is a bribe of more than 10,000 taels, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Lord Tang Dynasty, since you know that this is insulting to the dynasty, then why do you still kidnap the princess, this is a big crime, the emperor heard the news that the princess of the heart did not return home here at night this morning, it was an abnormal anger, ordered you to be captured immediately, and asked the princess to go back together, your courage is too big, doing so is tantamount to slapping the emperor's face, However, the emperor also took into account that there are few people who know about this matter, and he can't publicize it everywhere, so he just told me that if you don't listen to me, you will be killed directly, since you know the current affairs so well, send someone to quietly send the princess back to the palace, you will follow me back to the palace! ”
The Tang Dynasty immediately instructed Zhuan Xin to send someone to quietly send Princess Xinling back to the palace, and he followed behind Ma Zhengzhang and rode to the outside of the Qinzheng Palace, waiting for the emperor to summon him.
As soon as he arrived at the ground, Ma Zhengzhang repulsed left and right, and said with a smile: "Lord Tang, I'm sorry, come, I have to tie you up now!" As he spoke, he took out the rope he had already prepared. It is a silk rope, which is made of heavenly silk, although it is only the size of a thumb, but it is incomparably tough, much stronger than the tendon of the cow, and it is tied, even if the master of the transformation realm level is unable to struggle, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which is only a high-level kung fu of dark energy, once it is tied, it will only lead the neck and kill.
Seeing that he hesitated a little, Ma Zhengzhang smiled and said: "Lord Tang, I really admire your good ability, you dare to take the princess's chastity like this, but you are Gao Gonggong's person, of course, you are also my person, now Wei Jiansu and Zhang Qiu and Qiong's power is expanding, we have to help each other, how can our own people not help our own people, so just now in your mansion, I still left you a trace of face, and I didn't really capture you, but I don't dare to disobey the emperor's will, it's the same to capture you here, rest assured, Now that the matter has come out, everything depends on the emperor's meaning! ”
The Tang Dynasty thought about it, and when he was in the villa of Zhongnan Mountain, he didn't think of resisting, and now when he entered the palace, it was difficult to fly, so he had to sigh and stretch out his hand.
Ma Zhengzhang tied his hands and said: "Tang Dynasty, I really envy you, just think about how you will face the emperor, I will go to tell the emperor!" ”
Tang Dynasty was worried in his heart, his heart was like numbness, he knew the laws of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention blaspheming the princess, it was a general disrespect to the royal family, and it was also a capital crime, not to mention that doing it now would be a great disrespect to the emperor, thinking of this, I felt that the back of my head was cold, would the emperor kill me?
Hey, I'm really too naïve, I thought that the emperor would have no way to cook raw rice, but I didn't expect the emperor to send troops to arrest me!
When he was worried, Li Longji coughed and entered the Qinzheng Palace, staring at the Tang Dynasty with a pair of tiger eyes, as if he was about to burst into flames.
As soon as he came in, Tang Chao knelt down with an ordinary sound, and he could feel Li Longji's eyes like knives!
"The Tang Dynasty has seen the emperor, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!" After this mountain call, Li Longji said no, his expression became even more gloomy, and he didn't let go of him, but he didn't say a word.
Ma Zhengzhang and Gao Lishi followed, but they didn't dare to take a breath, knowing that the emperor was completely enraged today.
"Good, good. is worthy of being the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, with courage and strategy! Li Longji said after a while, clapping his hands at the same time.
He was obviously saying words of praise, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, it was obviously all rhetoric, which made the atmosphere even more tense.
Then, I saw him sit in the golden chair and smiled: "Tang Dynasty, I heard that you brought my daughter Princess Soul back to your home in Zhongnan Mountain last night, and stayed and flew with her, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's like this!" He has no denial.
"Then you know what, you have committed a great sin by doing this, and I can cut off your head immediately."
"Yes."
"Do you know how dare you do this?" Li Longji shouted loudly, and at the same time was depressed in his heart, this guy is really a scoundrel, it seems that this girl in the heart really likes him, besides, the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, although not many people know about this matter, but they must not be able to hide the ears and eyes of so many ministers in the palace, it seems that they have to marry their daughter to this kid! He was going to think about concocting the Tang Dynasty in his heart, after all, it was so easy to get the princess, it was not good, he already had a plan in his heart, and besides, marrying the county lord and marrying the princess again, it was a great thing to corrupt Gangchang, and he had already made up his mind that even if he quietly killed this kid in the Tang Dynasty, he could not fall into the majesty of the royal family.
After all, Qin'er and Princess Xinling are both from the royal family, so marrying a courtier together is a big plus. He wouldn't let anything like that happen.
But the Tang Dynasty was shrewd, and used the strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, so that he could not kill this kid, let his daughter hate himself to death, and at the same time he couldn't save his daughter's innocence, but the bitterness was to let this kid suffer.
"Back to the emperor, I and Princess Xinling are in love, the princess is afraid that the emperor will not agree to our marriage, so she is willing to take her body, this, anyway, the emperor, the princess and I are not frivolous people, this is also to show the meaning of life and death, last night, we have discussed, the two of us, to kill or scrape, all according to the emperor's will."
Li Longji was so angry that his beard fluttered, and he laughed: "Life and death are unswerving, okay, even if you kid has the ability, my daughter is also a person with eyes above the top, I can't imagine that I will like you like you like this self-surrender, it seems that you are really a man who likes women, so if I don't agree to the marriage between you and my heart, what will you do?" ”
"The minister will beg the emperor until the emperor agrees."
"What if I don't agree?" Li Longji said contemptuously-
"The minister will always work hard, I believe, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? Although the emperor is the son of heaven, he is also a human being, and I think the emperor will eventually be moved by my true feelings. ”
Li Longji looked at him with disgust: "Rhetoric, nonsense!" I heard that this is how you deceived Qin'er at the beginning, and now you are using this trick on the body of the girl in the heart, saying, on the one hand, you are dying, and on the other hand, you are fighting me, depending on which one you choose? ”
Li Longji's words were very cold, and there was a kind of cold killing intent, which made people shudder when they heard it.
"What, fight, Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Fighting, of course, is superior in martial arts, if you defeat me, I will marry the princess to you as you wish, and still be your great official, but if you lose in my hands, you will die, and I will hang you immediately!"
His tone was cold, and a kind of reneging anger appeared on him, which was a very rare phenomenon, and a person like him, who had been an emperor for a long time, he was indeed angry!
