Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 269

"Your Highness, I don't need to explain to you the changes in the Xuanwu Gate in the ninth year of Wude. But, Your Highness, have you ever thought about how they easily took down the heavy army and garrisoned the West Inner Court, and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate without His Majesty? "

Well, this is a good question. The West Inner Garden has always been heavily defended, whether it was during the Takede era or now. It is really not an easy task to pass through the West Inner Garden quietly. thing.

"Could it be that the guard of Xi Neiyuan turned to the emperor?" After saying this, Li Chengqian regretted it. If the guard turned his back on the front line, the emperor should praise him when discussing merit, just like Chang He is like that.

However, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, Xu Jingzong raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "Your Highness is on point, Zong Huan, the guard of Xi Neiyuan, is the confidant of Emperor Wude, anyone who wants to follow him It is impossible to get past under the nose.

It's like if someone wants to sneak into the East Palace, without the nods of General Heng and General Zhang, even a bird will not be able to fly in. .”

This is really a strange thing. Just when Li Shimin led his troops to the West Neiyuan, the chief general Zong Heng and several captains on duty were inexplicably killed in the duty room, losing the backbone of the defenders. Seeing that it was King Qin, he surrendered.

What was even more miraculous was that the guards guarding outside the sea pool were withdrawn, so that Yu Chigong easily controlled the situation.But logically speaking, no matter what major events happened in the palace, the emperor's pro-army would definitely not move without an imperial decree.

Xu Jingzong discovered the strangeness here when he was dealing with the ending. Following his in-depth investigation, he discovered that Zong Heng and those school lieutenants were all disciples of the Fo sect before joining the army.And the Donggong rate Gengcheng Wang Jun who provided Li Shimin with the words of Jiancheng and Yuanji's murder also disappeared inexplicably.

In addition, when the emperor attacked Luoyang, Xu Jingzong had to suspect that even if Li Shimin didn't go that night, someone would do things for him.In other words, regardless of whether he did it or not, he was convicted of killing his brother and forcing his father.

"Then what did he say when you told the father?" This is so obvious that it's a trick, to instigate the royal family's infighting, and separate the father and son of the Tian family. Can someone as shrewd as the father not send someone to investigate?Besides, with the emperor's suspicion and strong self-esteem, how could he be willing to be a marionette in the hands of others.

"Because His Majesty had just taken over the imperial court at that time, many court affairs were too busy, so he ordered Feng Deyi to be the head, Yuwen Shi and Hechen as deputy to be responsible for this matter together. Although the minister had some festivals with Feng Deyi, Yuwen Shi and others, but For His Majesty's great cause, I still cooperate with them wholeheartedly."

Later, they tracked down and found that Wang Jun had fled to a place called Lotus Temple, but when they led their troops to arrive, the local government servants were fighting with the monks guarding the courtyard.

Feng Deyi immediately ordered to shoot to kill, including Wang Hao, an important witness.Xu Jingzong asked Feng Deyi why he did this on the spot, but the old man refuted him on the grounds of acting cheaply, and asked Yuwen Shiji to detain him.Afterwards, more than [-] people in Lianhua Temple were slaughtered directly, and this last clue was broken.

Full of resentment, Xu Jingzong played Feng Deyi and Yuwenshi and a book when he returned to the court, but who knew that the emperor believed Feng Deyi's nonsense and gave up pursuing responsibility.In the end, Xu Jingzong had no choice but to find Fang and Du, but the two were unwilling to speak to the emperor because they avoided Xuanwumen, so Xu Jingzong, who was furious, fought with them in Hongwendian.

Later, Yuwen Shiji and others also took advantage of the old incident to suppress Xu Jingzong, scolded him when he had nothing to do in the court, and completely ruined Xu Jingzong's reputation.And those aristocratic families and great Confucianists also criticized him verbally, and the books of Hongwendian referencing him were piled up into mountains.

Since then, Xu Jingzong has been idled, and his style of handling affairs has become more and more irrelevant, causing many people to say behind his back that he is a jester.

Now that Feng Deyi is dead, Yuwen Shiji will not come out to defend him, and he also said that he was sent to Puzhou as the governor of Puzhou outside his illness, so even if Xu Jingzong had a mouth all over his body, he still couldn't explain clearly.

"Yan Clan, since Gu Tian knows about this, he definitely won't ignore it. He often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. It's a dog, so he can't change his habit of eating shit.

Gu does not have as many taboos as his father, no matter who has done something that endangers the country, as long as there is evidence, Gu Zhao can be killed.I will never let you suffer so many years of grievances in vain. When the time comes, Gu will definitely ask His Majesty to let you try this case in person. How about it? "

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Xu Jingzong was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Highness can do this, even if I am smashed to pieces, I must repay Your Highness's great kindness."

Li Chengqian could understand Xu Jingzong's mood. He hated the Yuwen family deeply. There were reasons for his father and the resentment that he had been suppressed for many years.

"Okay, what are you doing with so many etiquettes? You are only thinking of the court. You are an official of the Eastern Palace, and you know what the Bureau of Economics and Economics does. No matter what is found out, Gu will ask Zhao Jie to send you a file. If you have any good ideas, you can just tell them to do it directly.

In addition, with your seniority, you should have been promoted a long time ago. In this way, from today onwards, you will be promoted to East Palace Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi and Zheng Si Rank Shang. You also know that this rank is the highest official position that Gu Neng can appoint. ".
After chatting with Xu Jingzong, it was already dark, and Li Chengqian immediately went to Li Gang's study to have dinner with the old man.

"Mr. Li, you have dug a hole for the students. The Yan family is involved in the secrets of the two dynasties, and the relationship involved afterwards can be said to be intricate. From now on, there will be more and more people who hate students." , During the conversation, Li Chengqian also graciously brought food to old Li Gang. The old man is in a good mood today, so he should eat more.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, old Li Gang put down the bowl in his hand, stared at Li Chengqian with a straight face and said: "Xu Yan clan has a tenacious character, extraordinary talents and learning, and his agility is no less than your uncle and eldest grandson Wuji.

If you hadn't made too many enemies, the old man wouldn't have pierced this layer of window paper. Wouldn't it be better to keep him here to teach and educate people than go to the court to argue? "

"The old man has gone through three dynasties and has seen all kinds of things. No matter how close Changsun Wuji is to you, he will pay his allegiance to your father first, and then to you. But Xu Jingzong is different, except that you think he There is no other choice, and having him by your side is an extra layer of security, so what can you complain about?"

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks on the table and pretended to be angry to teach Li Chengqian, a student who didn't know what to do.

Seeing that the old man was so happy, Li Chengqian also smiled and stretched his head over. No matter what, as long as the old man is happy, he respects his teacher.

Besides, at such an old age, he still guards this place for himself, his heart for himself has reached the point of selflessness.
