Chapter 1199 is another cleaning
In Xingqing Palace, since the scene of Li Ying and other three kings forcing the palace in Nanxun Palace that year, Li Longji's daily life has mostly been in Xingqing Palace. After experiencing the previous purge in the siege of Chang'an, most of the eunuchs serving in the deacons in the palaces of Xingqing Palace were transferred from the Daming Palace and Tai Chi Palace. Almost no old faces who served Li Longji back then could be seen.
Now that the emperor is lucky to be in the house of the Sixteen Kings, the oldest among the people left behind in Xingqing Hall is in his early forties.
"Hurry, hurry up and move all these things away." A middle-aged eunuch commanded the people below with a proud attitude. He actually made major adjustments in various decorations in Xingqing Hall, and kept muttering, "We must hurry up and clean up the place before everyone comes back, and we will not have to look at others' faces."
One of the little eunuchs could not help but staggered under his feet, and almost turned over a box in his hand. He calmed down and asked carefully at the middle-aged eunuch, "Justice Cheng just said, we don't have to look at other people's faces from now on, this is..."
He hesitated and had not yet asked. Not long ago, the middle-aged eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen, who had just been serving in the official position, slapped him heavily in the back of the head, and then said meaningfully: "Stop asking so much, this world is the world of the Tang Dynasty and the world of His Majesty. Naturally, no second voice is allowed in the palace or the court."
Shortly after the emperor went to the Sixteen Kings' House, Cheng Yuanzhen personally went to the Forbidden Garden in the Daming Palace to send a letter to the two soldiers of the Fourth Army of the North Gate. He expected that the matter had already been done now. No matter what, after the Chang'an rescue battle, the vanguard battalion had only more than 1,000 people left. With the newly-engraved Flying Dragon Cavalry, the number of people will not exceed 4,000. Although the imperial guards have dropped sharply, the number of people is far more than this. At that time, as long as the Du group has no leader, it will no longer be a problem for the number of empty seats of the eunuch prison. Needless to say, even the positions such as General Yulin or General Longwu who had never been able to reach before were already close.
Seeing Cheng Yuanzhen's face smug, although there was a pain in his head, he did not dare to show any anger. He held the thing and tiptoed away quietly. He went to the door and looked back and spat again. He had just climbed up the high branch and didn't know how much he had. If you had good fruits to eat in the future, you would have to eat.
He had just cursed so much, and a large number of fully armed soldiers rushed into the front. Faced with this scene, he was shocked and subconsciously relaxed his hand. The box in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. The precious jade jade or rhinoceros horn ivory hairpins inside fell all over the ground, and some even fell into pieces. However, he didn't have time to care about such a huge disaster. He was sitting on the ground and realized at the first time that something was going to happen again.
In front of Xingqing Hall is the Datong Hall. In addition to a small gate connecting, there is also a road leading directly to the Daming Palace to the west. Therefore, it is self-evident where these soldiers and horses came from at this moment. The little eunuch watched these soldiers and horses pass by him in a fierce manner. No one looked at him, and no one looked at the things on the ground. Several pairs of feet wearing boots even ruthlessly stepped on precious objects such as jade hairpins and bone hairpins. When these people disappeared from sight, there was only a mess left on the ground.
"What happened, it actually happened."
The little eunuch muttered twice nervously. Although he was afraid, he found that Xingqing Gate and the door leading to Datong Hall in the south had been watched. Even if he wanted to escape, he could not fly. He could not leave the mess and carefully moved back to the way he had just come. As soon as he arrived in front of Xingqing Hall, he heard a huge noise coming from inside, followed by a desperate yelling sound.
"Rebellion, you are really rebelling. This is Your Majesty's bedroom. Who gives you the power to trespass? I am the one who has appointed you as the official. You are very disrespectful."
"Your Majesty was assassinated at the Sixteenth King's House. The Yong Wang and his son were the masterminds. Someone named you and sent the four troops of the North Gate to surround the Du Xiang State House and the Cui House in Pingkangfang. This matter is verified to be true, and you dare to deny it?"
With this sound, the little eunuch saw Cheng Yuanzhen's disheveled hair, who had just been proud, being taken out by two soldiers, and he looked embarrassed. Perhaps because the news he heard was too shocking, Cheng Yuanzhen's face had turned dead gray. He stared at the person who was talking incredibly, and after a while, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Impossible, you are committing rebellion, it is impossible for this to happen..."
Bang-
A loud slap interrupted Cheng Yuanzhen's clamor. He saw the person in front of him with half of his face, and immediately closed his mouth tightly. Of course, he knew this evil star, because it was the other party who arranged him and others in Xingqing Hall. During the days when Chang'an was besieged, the people from the three major palaces of Tai Chi Palace, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace all remembered the name Jiang Du and Jiang Silang. It was this Duke of Chu who was famous for his past only as a playboy. At that time, he showed extraordinary ruthlessness and was not ruthless in killing people.
"It seems that you still remember me Jiang Si." Jiang Du patted Cheng Yuanzhen's swollen high left cheek with his palm, and said with a smile, "But it's just not long before, you actually forgot my methods."
It was soon after that, Jiang Du suddenly slapped again. Cheng Yuanzhen's cheeks were as high as his cheeks, and he was really like a pig's head. However, he was so terrified that he didn't care about the pain and begged for mercy in an vague voice: "Duke Chu for your life, Duke Chu for your life, I just acted on the order...
"Shut up, you dare to listen to your life? If Your Majesty is here at this moment, do you believe it or not, he will insist that you are forgiving an edict?" Jiang Du smiled and saw Cheng Yuanzhen collapsed on the ground immediately, and it was difficult for both of them to hold him up. He squatted down leisurely and looked at the idiot and said, "Don't worry, I can still save your life for the time being, only you remember it. When you arrive at the Censorate, you don't need to tell any lies, you know what you know and say. You must know that you can't bear many things."
"Yes, yes, yes," Cheng Yuanzhen nodded desperately, and his mind was no longer able to think. The two imperial guards who went to capture Du Shiyi's family returned in a desperate situation, but in the house of the Sixteen Kings, there was another major case of the assassination of the Emperor. Everything was completely deviated from the route. How could a small person like him bear these major events?
Jiang Du then slowly stood up and made a gesture to take the person away. Today, not only Cheng Yuanzhen was involved. Almost all the eunuchs of the grade in the Xingqing Palace were transferred to the Censorate for investigation, and even the unqualified and unqualified white bodies below were detained here. In addition, even Li Long, a basic man, did not return to his favorite Nan Nei Xingqing Palace, but was escorted to the Daming Palace. In Du Shiyi's words, the two provinces in the Daming Palace and the Censorate were all in the court. If the emperor had a call, he could be at any time, which was undoubtedly more suitable for recuperation than Xingqing Palace.
As for the Censorate, which was located in the previous dynasty of the Daming Palace, it became a place to detain criminals. The soldiers who participated in the encirclement of Cui and Du's houses were all escorted here. A total of twelve Censors were recruited from the three courts of the Censorate, the Taiyuan, and the Censorate, and more than thirty Censors came here to handle the case. The other two sons of King Yong, as well as many eunuchs involved, were also tried here. In order to show justice, Du Shiyi directly put Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi in for trial. For several days, the Censorate, from the initial chaos to the final strange tranquility, every handler actually had the urge to retreat.
What is this called the Emperor instructed King Yong Li to kill Du Shiyi, and promised to be the crown prince after the matter was completed. However, Li had ulterior motives and planned to kill Li Longji and defeat Du Shiyi. Then he and his son, King Xiangcheng Li Yi, killed Du Shiyi, pretending to be an extermination of traitors. With such contributions, the matter came to the end. Although Li and his son were defeated, Li Longji was shot and his life was temporarily worry-free, the blow was really big. As for Du Shiyi himself, he escaped by luck.
But if it is really lucky, it may not be true. Du Shiyi probably expected that there would be corresponding troubles in the Sixteen Kings' House, otherwise why should I lay the groundwork and secretly invite important officials in the court and Chen Xuanli to accompany him? Even Gao Lishi did not personally send an order to Feilong Stable, but asked the little eunuch to go and quietly accompany Pei Kuan, Chen Xuanli and others. But at that time, who could guarantee that Li's arrow would not shoot at Du Shiyi first?
Everything is destiny
The biggest problem now is how to break the case
Although the Sixteen Kings' House and the Baisun Courtyard have been completely blocked, various discussions have long been in full swing on the streets and alleys in Chang'an City. Compared with the emperor Li Longji who left the people of Chang'an to escape alone, Du Shiyi and his son's reputation is much better. Except for a small group of loyal emperors who denounced Du Shiyi's ulterior motives, many people almost all believed that the emperor could not tolerate the meritorious officials. The most unbearable thing is that the rebels have not yet been destroyed and Hebei is still in constant wars. However, Li Longji chose to attack at this time, which was extremely stupid.
If the front group is in chaos and An Lushan successfully counterattacks, would the Tang Dynasty change its surname?
In the once magnificent house of Yongwang, there was a seal and guarding the door, and it was difficult for others to step into the door. In the bamboo forest, Princess Gu'an in men's clothing walked like a master, with a leisurely expression. When she came to the grass pavilion, she suddenly said to Zhang Yao without looking back: "Although King Yong has always been different from other kings, she didn't expect that at the critical moment, he actually played our Majesty. If it weren't for the bad luck, he might have really won."
Zhang Yao didn't understand why Princess Gu'an quietly entered the Yongwang House at this time, but he still smiled and said, "So, now everything outside is spreading, and destiny cannot be violated."
"I always think that what is really useful in this world is always human power, but now I believe that destiny still exists." Princess Gu'an stood in the middle of the grass pavilion and suddenly stomped her feet gently. I remember that Du Shiyi had quietly sent a huge amount of gunpowder to Chang'an City for storage. Except for Chibi, only she knew about this. This time, the emperor summoned Du Shiyi back to Beijing. She learned from Du Shisanniang which four princes were frequently summoned, and she became scheming in her heart. Finally, Chibi and placed a box of gunpowder in the Yongwang's house. She prepared that if the situation was urgent, it would cause chaos.
But the place where the gunpowder was buried in the bamboo forest where the grass pavilion was located was in the bamboo forest where the grass pavilion was. No one expected that Li would take people to the grass pavilion, and no one expected that Li Liang had a crossbow. So at that time, even if Chibi, who had been ambushing, did not dare to move the lead, but the matter was about to come. The crossbow arrow finally fell on Li Longji. This shows that Li had much deeper resentment towards the emperor.
As soon as the corner of his mouth smiled, Princess Gu'an whispered: "Come here and help, get the things out."
