Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 718 Iron Heart!weird!

The scout went down the steps and came outside the courtyard wall after a while. After meeting Chen Laosan under the tree, his complexion changed drastically after hearing the words. After listening, he hurriedly bid farewell to Chen Laosan and fell under the tree In the chaotic grass not far away, when I saw this scout again, it was already in the mansion.

When Qin Wenyuan heard the urgent report sent back by Chen Laosan, he already had a murderous intent in his heart, since you want to play, let's have fun.

It was night, the mansions of Zhao Guogong and Ying Guogong's mansions, Wei's mansion and Zhang Gongjin's mansion in Chang'an City were all destroyed by the fire that ignited immediately after the loud noise. Niu Wei sent a lot of soldiers to put out the fire everywhere, screams, cries for help, cursing, and crying were all intertwined and shrill.

After the fire was brought under control in the Jingzhaoyin Mansion in Chang’an City, the government servants and head catchers found several oddly shaped arrows a few inches longer than ordinary arrows and tapered arrows in these mansions. They tied them together and prepared to take them back to the yamen as evidence of this incident, but unexpectedly, during the transportation process, several arrows collided and exploded again. Several people were killed and injured by the yamen servants and the head catchers, and the evidence they finally obtained was also destroyed. Once.

In Chang'an City, half of the city was illuminated red by the flames, sergeants in various costumes rode horses and galloped on the streets. The sergeants of the four gates of Chang'an City cheered up and held up flaming torches to stand ready.

Around the mansion of the Qin Mansion, layers of forbidden troops and Marquis Wu roaming nearby made the "Pingkangfang" of Chang'an City look like a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, causing the civilians living nearby and the officials of various yamen to wonder what was going on for a moment I mistakenly thought that the emperor came here for a tour late at night.

At this time, I saw an old man in the clothes of a prince coming to the gate of the Qin Mansion. Several soldiers with torches came forward and slammed on the gate. When they leaned slightly, they heard a "squeak" sound of the door opening, and saw Boss Chen Cursing with Chen Lao Er, he walked out from behind the door and shouted loudly.

"Who is so bold, don't you know that this is the residence of the Qin family?"

Several sergeants who knocked on the door suddenly saw two strong men like iron towers open the door, Manhejian Wang Li Xiaogong heard the shouts from the two strong men blocking the door, and then snapped, thinking that he was revealing his identity as a prince He could have scared the two reckless men to death, but unexpectedly the two men ignored him and did not speak, and even heard an even more arrogant voice from the house.

"You are the prince, so what do you have to do with the young master? If you want to enter the mansion, then you can take out the emperor's will and the people let you do what you want when you enter the mansion. Is it the laws of the Tang Dynasty? It really makes no sense!"

After saying this, there was another shout.

"close the door!"

Hejian King Li Xiaogong heard such an arrogant voice, so he didn't know that the voice was from Xu Tian, ​​whom everyone in the court talked about. He thought that the ministers in the court's statement about Xu Tian's rebelliousness was a bit exaggerated, but at this time Only then did he realize that these statements were more than worse, Li Xiaogong said loudly with his old face flushed.

"Qin Wenyuan, is this how you treat this old man?"

"My lord, please forgive me! This is because it is inconvenient to receive guests at Xiaomin's mansion late at night. If there is anything to do, we will talk about it in the morning. At that time, Xiaomin will personally welcome the lord to the humble house."

Seeing that the gate of the mansion was about to close, Li Xiaogong said loudly again.

"Qin Wenyuan, several mansions in Chang'an City are on fire tonight, what do you think?"

"My lord, I'm sorry, I don't have any opinion, I just feel that the noise outside has disturbed my slumber, my lord, please go back!"

As soon as these words fell, the door was closed with a "touch", and there was no sound after the door, Li Xiaogong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at the tightly closed door under the firelight in a daze...

Li Shimin was awakened from the bed by the eunuch again in the middle of the night, the murderous intent in his sleepy eyes scared the eunuch next to him tremblingly, knelt beside the bed and whispered intermittently.

"Emperor... Your Majesty! Detective Cavalry Director Zhou... Mr. Zhou has something urgent to report...report!"

Hearing that Zhou Shaofan had something to report to Li Shimin, Li Shimin felt a little nervous. He quickly put on a dragon robe and walked out of the bedroom. When he saw Zhou Shaofan, he roared in a low voice.

"Why is it so urgent, can't we talk about it in the morning?"

"Your majesty, I don't dare to disturb the emperor's rest, but this matter is too important. Tonight in Chang'an City, the mansions of "Duke Zhao's mansion" and "Duke Ying's mansion", Wei's mansion and Zhang Gongjin's mansion have all been destroyed. After the attack, the loud noise was followed by fires rising, and several mansions must have suffered a lot of casualties. When the incident happened, Prince Li Xiaogong went to the Qin Mansion to check on Qin Wenyuan's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, Xu Qin Wenyuan refused the prince to enter the mansion. It is confirmed that the boy did not go out in the mansion, and all signs show that this matter has nothing to do with this boy, but the places where these accidents happened have unresolved hatred with this boy, if it is said that these things have nothing to do with this boy If you don’t believe me, you just can’t find any evidence for this kid.”

After saying this, Zhou Shaofan paused for a while and then continued.

"According to Ji San's report, the village newly built by Qin Wenyuan in Wugong County was completely destroyed a few days ago, and the people in the village were nowhere to be seen. Ji San searched for a few days and found no clue, as if no one had ever lived in that place. However, the farmers in Qin Village have no abnormalities at all since the sun rises every day, and this is the most uncertain part of Weichen's heart."

After quietly listening to Zhou Shaofan's report, Li Shimin's heart was already very irritated. In just two days, such a big turmoil occurred in Chang'an City. If the truth of this matter is not known as soon as possible, how can the ministers in the court worry about the empire? military and political affairs, but who is this and what force did it?

After Zhou Shaofan finished speaking, Li Shimin said after pondering for a long time.

"In the past two days, the detective cavalry department must not take it lightly and let me stare at Xu Tian. I always feel that the boy will not give up. In addition, you should pass the order to the Qianniu guards at this time to join Jing Zhaoyin's Wuhou Che Find out if there are any suspicious people hiding in Chang'an City, and if found, immediately control them, and don't startle them, I don't believe that the chaos in Chang'an City in the past two days can't find any clues."

After Zhou Shaofan took the order to resign, Li Shimin didn't feel sleepy anymore. He got up and walked back and forth in the hall, thinking about the series of events that happened after Qin Wenyuan fought with Monk Shande in front of the palace gate. He always felt that he had overlooked something that he hadn't thought of.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't ignore anything, but he never thought about whether it was appropriate for him to suppress Qin Wenyuan in such a way to reconcile the harmony between the court and other forces. In his consciousness, he always thought that he did this to protect Qin Wenyuan, but he But he forgot the fatal point, that is, with Qin Wenyuan's personality and ability, would his actions cause Qin Wenyuan's resistance and disgust.

As soon as the sky was bright, the voices of Changsun Wuji, Yu Wenshi, Zhang Gongjin, and Wei Ting came from outside the Taiji Palace. They had known for a long time that the four ministers who had been attacked by thunder and fire gathered outside the palace and looked at the four people in embarrassment with different eyes. There are those who gloat and those who feel sympathy, and the rest are all indifferent.

After Li Shimin went to the hall, the officials from the Huangmen sent the ministers to see him in the hall. Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Shiji, Zhang Gongjin, and Wei Ting knelt on the hall with dusty clothes and ragged faces, wailing loudly.

"Your majesty, you have to decide for the old ministers! It must be that the thief Qin Wenyuan was dissatisfied with the prelude to the palace, which caused him to lose his title and official position. He had a grudge and ordered the people under his command to retaliate against us. The casualties in the court and others were huge. , but what should I do?"

"Do you have evidence that Qin Wenyuan ordered someone? But did you catch anyone? If there is no evidence, how can you be sure that Xu Tian ordered someone to do it?"

"Your Majesty and my ministers heard from the servants of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion that a conical arrow was found at the scene. Unfortunately, this evidence was destroyed in an explosion when it was transported back to the Yamen. However, this kind of arrow Weichen had heard people say that Xu Tian's personal guards possessed this kind of weapon, so I asserted that what happened between the mansions of Mr. Changsun, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Wei must have something to do with Qin Wenyuan. Please ask the emperor to send this son to the palace to question him and he will know."

Yuwenshi answered the emperor's consecutive questions with a mournful face and put forward his own opinion.

In fact, after being attacked in the mansion at night, this old ghost has already regretted joining forces with Changsun Wuji and others to deal with Qin Wenyuan. He thought that he had just conspired with a few people to make a plan for drinking water in the Xu mansion, and he was immediately retaliated at night. They were all attacked in the same way. The old ghost even suspected that some of them were spies planted by Qin Wenyuan. If what Xu Tian did was really what Qin Wenyuan did, he really has to reconsider whether to continue to cooperate with Changsun Wuji and others to target Qin Wenyuan.

After Yuwen Shiji finished speaking, Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, etc. who had seen the kind of conical arrows in Qin Wenyuan's mansion actually believed that the attack on the four families must be related to Qin Wenyuan. Many of the guards in the mansion disappeared overnight. If this kid is determined to take revenge on those who have enemies with him in Chang'an City, with the strange weapons he has mastered, I don't know how much turmoil will happen in Chang'an City. .

Thinking of this, these military generals in the court are full of resentment towards Changsun Wuji and others. It is you who want to bully that kid because of your deep roots in Chang'an City. I don't know what the emperor is thinking, why he helps these old ghosts to suppress Qin Wenyuan every time, how can he not do some cruel things with that kid's temperament.

Just when Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and others were surprised by Qin Wenyuan's method, they suddenly heard Li Shimin say loudly.

"I will do as you wish, pass on Xu Tianshang's pledge to deal with this matter!"

When Eunuch Liu heard Xu Tian's will from the emperor, he immediately went out of the palace to summon Qin Wenyuan to the Qin Mansion.

……

At this time, on the official road from Qizhou to Chang'an, a cavalry force of nearly [-] cavalry carrying the flag of the Tang Dynasty had passed through Pingyin County, left Huazhou, entered Henan Prefecture, and approached Shangzhou. Not far away, Wang Huizan, the general who led the army, insisted on going to the prefecture and the mansion in Dachi along the way. He told these local officials that he followed the imperial court's order and led the army, which directly attracted these local officials to flatter Wang Huizan. There is still a half-hearted doubt whether this army is acting according to the imperial court's order.

The army marched to the border of Shangzhou, tens of miles away from Chang'an City, a valley where it can advance and retreat freely and hide troops near the "Huaiguo Temple". Wang Huizan ordered the army to hide and rest on the spot. Wei "Night Breeze" entered Chang'an City to inform the young marshal that the army had arrived, and asked the young marshal to come up with the charter and make a decision as soon as possible. If it took too long, the news of the army's journey might be known to the court.

"Night Breeze" quickly rushed to Chang'an City, and just a few dozen steps away from the gate of the Qin Mansion, he saw Qin Wenyuan leaving the mansion with a father-in-law in eunuch costume, just as Qin Wenyuan was about to board the carriage in the palace , "Night Breeze" cursed loudly after deliberately colliding with Marquis Wu who was on patrol.

"You are so unreasonable as a soldier, why don't you have eyes when you walk?"

How could Marquis Wu endure such inexplicable shouting, pointing at "Night Breeze" and scolding loudly.

"Where did the wild man dare to be arrogant here? Believe it or not, what is this military master doing by arresting you in the yamen for interrogation?"

Hearing Marquis Wu scolding "Night Breeze", he immediately pretended to be scared and said.

"Master Jun, calm down! It's because villains don't have eyes. Lord Jun forgives us people from that small place in Shangzhou who haven't seen the world."

"Go away! Hugh, let me see you again."

After hearing the conversation between "Night Breeze" and Marquis Wu, Qin Wenyuan knew in his heart that the army had reached the border of Shangzhou, and signaled to "Night Breeze" from a distance that he knew it, and then boarded the carriage to the palace with Eunuch Liu.

"Night Breeze" quickly went to Chang'an City to find Chen Laosan's hiding place after seeing the young marshal leaving. When he saw Chen Laosan, he asked the young marshal if he had any plans.

Chen Laosan took "Night Breeze" to a secret room and whispered.

"Master Ye, the young marshal once ordered that when the army arrives, all the people in the house will evacuate Chang'an. In this way, Lord Ye will rest here temporarily. I will go to Xu Village to inform the guards there to disperse into Chang'an City. How about transferring the old lady and others out of the mansion to get out of Chang'an City while the young commander is leaving the mansion to go to the imperial palace and the guards outside the mansion are slack?"

"How do you know that the young marshal is entering the palace? Is there any problem with transferring the old lady, but what about the young marshal's entering the palace?"

"Your Excellency Ye doesn't know anything. I will know everything that happens in Fan Mansion right away. You and I don't have to worry about the young commander's safety. When the young commander leaves the palace, I will notify the young commander to leave as soon as possible. With the young commander's Can Kung Fu, the imperial palace in Chang'an City, trap the Young Marshal?"

The two of them had made a plan, and Chen Laosan left the room and went to the gate of Chang'an City without mentioning it.

Besides, when Qin Wenyuan came to the Taiji Hall, after entering the hall, Qin Wenyuan and Li Shimin greeted each other indifferently, and Li Shimin said lightly in the hall.

"Qin Wenyuan, Yuwen Shi and others all suspected that you ordered people under your command to do the attack on their mansion. The officials of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion once searched for a strange arrow around several mansions. Yuwen Shi and Yan What can you say about this strange arrow that was seen in the hands of the guards in your mansion?"
