Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 883 Loud!fall!
"Why does Prince Qi point the finger at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang? Although these two provided the murder weapon, they were also coerced by others. Moreover, no one has been harmed now, so there is no need to make a fuss over a molehill!"

Empress Wu's protective words made the royal family members in the palace finally see the strength of this woman, and they all thought in their hearts "from now on, take care of your own family and stop entangled with the Wu family".

Qin Wenyuan said with a sneer when he heard the words.

"The empress's words are wrong. Although the brothers of the Wu family were coerced by others, it is true that they provided tools for committing crimes and instigated the young man of the Li family to commit misdeeds. Although no bad results were caused, this behavior is really bad. Unfortunately, casualties will occur. Wouldn't it make the Li family boy a murderer and be sanctioned by the law, and my prince's son a victim, how can dealing with such evil deeds of the Wu family brothers be considered a fuss?"

Empress Wu was very upset when she heard what Qin Wenyuan said, seeing the sarcasm and contemptuous expression on this guy's face, but others took advantage of the truth, and what her Wu family brothers did was stolen by others. Seeing that many royal relatives in the palace have personally admitted to instigating and instigating Li Anyin to kill Xu Xiaole, they can't deny it in every possible way, this scheming woman is advancing by retreating, and then said.

"Then according to Prince Qi's intention, how should we deal with Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang?"

"This king is not in his position now, and he does not seek his own government. How to deal with the brothers of the Wu family is up to the court and the department. If it is light, it can be sent to the army and exiled, if it is serious, it will be killed, if this kind of wicked person stays in the world, it will bring many troubles to the empress."

Qin Wenyuan's solemn and stern words echoed in the palace, and the brothers of the Wu family were already frightened and said repeatedly.

"A certain person made a mistake...Please forgive me..."

Li Zhi felt very embarrassed about this matter. On the one hand, there are members of the queen's family, and on the other hand, the iron-blooded King Qi of the Tang Dynasty. If he does not handle it properly, it will definitely make the queen and the Xu family feud, and make everyone in the royal family feel in danger. Ji can only put the Wu family brothers in prison first, and slowly make the big and small things smaller.

"Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were exploited for their misbehavior. They are being supervised by Zongzheng Temple and awaiting punishment. They will be convicted after they are caught and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The emperor ordered that the eunuch Rui'an around him acted according to the circumstances, and asked Zongzheng Siqing to take the two away. Outside the palace gate, Rui'an whispered to him.

"You take good care of the two of them, don't let others know."

Zongzheng Siqing naturally understood the joints and nodded in agreement.

A farce was unmasked, and in this incident, Empress Wu once again saw Qin Wenyuan's personality of not being afraid of power, and the idea of ​​plotting against the Qin family arose in her heart.

"Hmph! If you dare to oppose me, let's wait and see."

Just after the sixth year of "Yonghui" in the Tang Dynasty (655), Li Zhi abolished the crown prince of Li Zhong, the eldest son of Gong'e, and replaced Li Hong, the son of Wu Zetian, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and issued an edict The name of the first year was changed to make it the year of "Xianqing".

In April of the "first year of Xianqing" (656), Li Zhi ordered to build Ximing Temple to pray for Prince Li Hong. This change of Yuan Dynasty completely ended Li Shimin's era, and Li Zhi's era has come.

Now that their own era has come, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian will naturally go to war, and they will liquidate the old court officials who are not pleasing to the eye and those who may hinder them, so that those who should be removed and those who should be demoted will be demoted.

Li Sujie, the son of the original prince Li Zhong, Li Zhi and Concubine Xiao Shu, was deposed from the capital, and made him a fiefdom to be king, but he had no real power. There is no more affection at all.

Xu Tian watched the cruel political struggles in the imperial court with cold eyes. He kept the court under the rule of Li Zhi and Empress Wu in a state of non-aggression, because he did not provoke others, but he had new officials in the imperial court who did not believe in evil, and thought that he would keep a low profile , The "Qi Wang Mansion" who does not serve in the court is so annoying that he dares to ride a horse under the long halberd erected in front of the "Qi Wang Mansion" in disregard of the last order of the former emperor Li Shimin.

On this day, Xu Xiaole, who has already graduated from the Imperial College, was practicing the two masters of Taoism "Qiankun Wuji Hand" and "Ghost Shadow Step" taught by his father in the mansion. .

There is a report from the army.

"My lord, Xu Jingzong violated etiquette and dared to insult the majesty of the palace."

Qin Xiaole heard the words and said angrily.

"Hey! Follow the young master to check the gate of the mansion, this old man dares to break ground in Tai Sui."

Qin Xiaole was wearing tight-fitting robes, cotton shoes on his feet, and the golden crown on his head could tell that this kid was an extraordinary person.

At the gate of "Prince Qi's Mansion", dozens of Xu family's personal guards had already surrounded Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong's attendant guards confronted Xu's family's personal guards with weapons.

Qin Xiaole came out of the house and shouted loudly at the door.

"The old man on the horse can know that this place is a long halberd given by the late emperor. Officials and common people are not allowed to pass by on horseback. You old man dares to disobey the order because of your power. Today, the young master will call you a halberd." How many catties."

After saying that, Qin Xiaole didn't say any more, jumped up and flew straight at Xu Jingzong, lifted him off the horse's back, and then slapped the horse he was riding away with a palm and shouted to the guards.

"Tie up this old man! Put it under the halberd and expose it to the public for two hours."

"Children of the Qin family, someone is the official secretary of the imperial court. You dare to be rude to the Shangguan. Do you think you want to rebel?"

"Go to your mother, Shangguan, what are you in front of my young master?"

Today's Chang'an City has changed a lot, and the new aristocrats in the imperial court are more domineering, which makes Qin Xiaole's character become jealous and hateful, and he doesn't know where to vent his anger. It's time to find someone to vent his anger. Today Xu Jingzong happened to bump into his anger inside.

At this time, Xue Rengui, the new commander of the Forbidden Army in Chang'an City, happened to be on business in the East City of Chang'an City. He found many people gathered here, and he didn't know what happened, so he led them into Pingkang Fang to see what happened.

It's not that enemies don't get together.

Since Silla was recalled to Li Xiaogong's command and the former emperor Li Shimin passed away, this fellow was actually favored by Wu Zetian and made him fall into Li Zhifa's eyes. Commander of the Guards.

Seeing that it was the disturbance in front of the "Prince Qi's Mansion", and seeing that the court secretary was tied up and kidnapped under the halberd standing in front of the palace gate, Xue Rengui got off his horse, pointed at the bound Xu Jingzong and said loudly.

"Who did this, who dared to tie up important officials of the imperial court, did he still have the king's law in his eyes?"

"This is what the young master did, what do you want?"

Seeing the boy dressed like a commoner in front of the mansion answered Da Chi Chi, Xue Rengui knew who this boy was without thinking, so he shouted loudly.

"The kid from the Qin family is so mad that he detained the imperial court official without permission. You can be convicted of the crime."

"Isn't it a great thing for the court order official! Dare to disobey the late emperor's will and charge against the imperial halberd, I don't care who he is, just take it down."

Xue Rengui was so annoyed by Qin Xiaole's disdainful tone that he shouted orders to the guards around him.

"You wait to step forward and save Master Xu!"

The soldiers of the forbidden army were ordered to rescue Xu Jingzong.

The guards of the Qin family didn't wait for the young master's order, they raised their guns and shouted.

"The one who goes further, dies!"

The soldiers of the imperial army stopped because they knew that the Qin family would do what they said, and no one wanted to risk their lives.

Xue Rengui felt ashamed, seeing the kid from the Qin family go wild but he couldn't do anything about it.

In desperation, this fellow yelled loudly at Qin Fu.

"Does Prince Qi want to indulge his son in insulting important court officials?"

As soon as these words fell, a majestic voice came from the mansion.

"roll!"

Many onlookers outside the "Prince Qi's Mansion" heard such arrogant voices, they all laughed at the imperial army and cheered for the majesty of the prince, which caused the soldiers of the imperial army to turn red, and thought "I would rather offend the king of Hades than anger the king of Qi". They put down their weapons one after another and retreated behind Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui can't do anything when he sees things. Based on his understanding of Qin Wenyuan, he knows that he must not provoke this evil spirit at this time, otherwise, the consequences will not be borne by him.

This guy ordered the soldiers of the forbidden army to look after Xu Jingzong in front of the "Qi Palace", but he got on his horse and went to the palace.

Xu Jingzong is a new nobleman of the imperial court, and he has won the trust of Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian. The palace heard Xue Rengui's report, and learned that this guy was captured by the Xu family and tied up under the imperial halberd representing the nobility of the Qin family. There is dissatisfaction, but because it is not easy to disobey the honor bestowed on the Qin family by the late emperor, I have to endure it silently.

Li Zhi said solemnly on the golden throne.

"Xu Jingzong disobeyed the late emperor's will and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. However, the state owns the state law, and courtiers who break the law will be dealt with by the court. It is passed on to the king Xuanqi and his son, and Xu Jingzong goes to the palace."

Xue Rengui led the decree, and accompanied the eunuchs around Li Zhi to the "Prince Qi's Mansion" to proclaim the decree.

In the palace, Wu Zetian said softly to Li Zhi.

"Then the Qin family is too domineering. The emperor should have a bit of an attitude when he used such humiliating methods against the important officials of the court. Otherwise, how to explain to a group of officials, according to the wishes of the concubine, it is better to call the matter to all the officials and abolish Xu. A long halberd stands in front of the gate of the mansion."

Li Zhi was hesitant when he heard the words, but Wu Zetian was determined to disgust the Qin family. This woman's heart became cruel, even worse than that of the man.

Xue Rengui and Rui'an shouted the emperor's orders in front of the "Qi Wang Mansion". Qin Wenyuan left the mansion and asked his son Qin Xiaole to enter the palace with him. Finally, it is to see the position of the Qin family in the hearts of the people of Chang'an City.

In the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Xu Jingzong knelt under the golden throne and cried loudly in front of the emperor and empress.

"Your majesty has to be the master of your subjects...!"

"Qin Xiaole; ​​you are guilty of arbitrarily tying important officials of the court!"

Li Zhi first restrained the kid from the Qin family with his desire to speak, thinking that under the authority of the emperor, this kid should be a little afraid and dare not argue with reason.

He underestimated this kid who was even uglier than his father Qin Wenyuan when he was young.

But Wen Qin Xiaole said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty, what is the crime of the boy? This old man rode a horse at the place where the first emperor gave him a halberd to show off his power. He committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. The boy is acting according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and he can be regarded as the most law-abiding courtier of the Tang Dynasty." Woolen cloth."

Seeing that the boy was not intimidated by the emperor, Wu Zetian said aside.

"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth at a young age. Xu Jingzong is an important minister of the court. Even if he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, he should be held accountable by the court. When will it be your turn to act recklessly, knowingly denying the crime, and still lying to the Holy Majesty? Serious crimes should be punished."

After Wu Zetian said this, he shouted sharply.

"Come on!"

The warriors on duty outside the gate of the palace heard the queen's call, and they all entered the palace with their halberds.

In order to maintain the dignity of the queen, Li Zhi spoke to the warriors entering the palace.

"Let's take this kid down and take him to Wumen for whipping and punishment as a punishment."

The warrior on duty led the order and was about to step forward to lock Qin Xiaole, when Qin Wenyuan finally got up and said.

"Wait a minute; the emperor wants to punish my son, but has he asked Mr. Xu if he has any opinions? Is it just a display?"

Li Zhi also said angrily when he heard Qin Wenyuan's dissatisfied words.

"Qin Wenyuan; are you going to deceive the king?"

"The emperor shouldn't use these words to scare Xu. Then Xu Jingzong ignored the etiquette. Even if my son punished him privately, he didn't commit any big mistakes. Compared with the crimes committed by the brothers of the Wu family who wanted to commit crimes, they were nothing more than nothing. You can make those things smaller and smaller, how can you be so strict when you come to Qin Xiaole, do you really think that Qin has no temper and lets others do as he pleases?"

Qin Wenyuan's words were aimed at Empress Wu, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the palace was filled with gunpowder.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Wenyuan shouted loudly to the warriors on duty surrounding his son.

"roll!"

Just when the warriors on duty were at a loss, Qin Wenyuan said to his son with a smile.

"Leave this place with your father."

Seeing his father's domineering arrogance, Qin Xiaole was filled with arrogance, and bowed his hand to Li Zhi to leave. Even in such an atmosphere, this boy still did not lose the respect of the younger generation for the elders. Only this kind of magnanimity is not weak compared to the court ministers.

The warriors on duty in the palace all backed down one after another because of Qin Wenyuan's momentum, Li Zhi's face turned red, he didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan would embarrass himself in public.

After leaving the palace, the father and son returned to the mansion. In the hall of the Qin mansion, Qin Wenyuan and the wives discussed today's affairs, Qin Wenyuan said seriously.

"Today, I swept Li Zhi's face in the palace for my husband. I am afraid that the imperial court will suppress the Qin family. What do you ladies think about the current situation?"

Princess Caixia said disdainfully.

"Husband, you don't need to worry about this matter. It's just that soldiers are coming to block you. The court wants to suppress the Qin family. Let's fight back. I haven't killed for a long time. I wish I could lead the army to fight."

"How old is my sister, why is she still obsessed with fighting and killing?"

Princess Minmin smiled and said, the women of the Qin family are not easy to get along with, so they didn't take what Qin Wenyuan said seriously.

Seeing the heroic spirit of the several aunts, Qin Xiaole said loudly, with the blood in his heart tumbling.

"This is something that I have provoked, how dare you work hard, my aunts, if the court dares to take action against the Xu family, I will fully accept it."

Lu Yueer said with a coquettish smile.

"That's right, the boy has the air of a man."

Seeing that none of the wives in the mansion had any worries, Qin Wenyuan naturally had nothing to fear. Although this guy doesn't like to argue with others, he cares about the safety of his wife and children at home.

After the ladies went back to their rooms, this fellow called Zhou Cang, the commander of his personal guard for many years, to follow his orders.
