Chapter 858 Bloody Taiji Palace on New Year's Eve (Part [-])

Chapter [-]: Bloody Tai Chi Palace on New Year’s Eve

History is a bitch!Originally, Chen Ying was not very clear about this magnificent and great era, but as a witness, Chen Ying didn't feel any greatness, but was more disgusted.

From "Yang Wengan's Rebellion" to the East Palace Night Banquet, and finally to the current "Taibaixing Day Through the Sun", all the events are familiar and unfamiliar, but one is more disgusting than the other, even more disgusting than playing mahjong with cheating Li Yuan.

Since Li Yuan left, Li Jiancheng did not leave, but stayed in Qinglin.

Li Jiancheng knew very well that Chang'an City was extremely dangerous since then, and his East Palace was infiltrated into a sieve by his second child. Even Hu San, who had been with him for more than ten years, would betray him. Second spy and spies.

On the contrary, this Chenjiabao in Qinglin is the safest place. There are Chen Ying's people inside and out, and no matter how long the second child's hand is, he can't reach it here.

Li Jiancheng was sitting alone in the study, while Chen Ying was lazily lying on the soft bed with his forehead supported.

Neither of them spoke, and each other was silent.

This is a process of boiling the eagle. Li Jiancheng waited for Chen Ying to speak first, but Chen Ying also waited for Li Jiancheng to speak.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and slowly Li Jiancheng couldn't hold on anymore.

In terms of patience, Li Jiancheng is really not as good as Chen Ying. After all, Chen Ying has been a human being for two lifetimes. Once life and death are indifferent, other things are nothing!

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly, "What should I do?"

Chen Ying said indifferently: "It depends on how His Highness the Crown Prince makes a decision, one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon!"

Li Jiancheng said: "How about becoming a Buddha? How about becoming a demon?"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Your Highness must also be aware that in ancient times, practitioners sacrificed their lives to save lives, and benefited others in the compassionate mind of Bodhisattvas, and perfected self-interested good deeds; today's sentient beings sacrifice their lives for wealth, sex, fame and food. There are all kinds of omissions." Waiting for the Dharma is nothing but regretting the lack of spirituality and emptiness when the breath is about to die. The ancient Germans exchanged their limited lives for bright and endless merit and wealth; , take away the dross of the world that is impermanent in birth and death."

Li Jiancheng sat down heavily and began to reflect deeply.

Some things are easy to say, but too difficult to actually do.

Chen Ying can see the essence through the incident. He doesn't want Li Jiancheng to bear a bad name, and he doesn't need to do anything more. Li Shimin's only way is to make money, take risks, launch Xuanwumen or other similar armed coups.

Historically, Li Jiancheng did not have the support of the military. He only had brothers Xue Wanche, Feng Li, and Wei Ting under his command.

In this time and space, Li Jiancheng's connections in the military are no worse than Li Shimin's. What's more, he has more Yu Chigong and Li Shiji than in history, and the most important thing is that he also has Chen Ying.

From Chen Ying's point of view, as long as the inheritance of the throne is not bloody and all struggles are under control, the Tang court will never follow the old path of history.

Of course, Chen Ying didn't mean that the original Datang was not good, but thought that the original Datang could have done better.

Once the essence of the competition loses the bottom line and principles, the victor must be the despicable conspirators.After all, an upright hero can never defeat an unscrupulous hero.

Li Jiancheng said with a sarcasm, "It's a pity, it's a pity, now that the Sacred Heart is lost, the East Palace...is gone"

"You are wrong, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are wrong!" Chen Ying retorted: "Not only has His Highness not lost the Sacred Heart, but on the contrary, he is in the Emperor's Heart. Your Majesty is not foolish. When Yang Wengan rebelled, His Majesty did not punish His Majesty, because His Majesty It is clear in my heart that the East Palace Night Banquet has changed dramatically, His Majesty just released Zhang Liang, and sent all of the more than a thousand dead men under his command to Lingnan. His Majesty also knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is innocent, and this matter is the same. It just lacks magnanimity!"

"Frank?" Li Jiancheng murmured, "Xuan Cheng once said that for the sake of the court and the country, the Tiance Mansion should be abolished!"

"There is no need for the Tiance Mansion to exist in the first place, and it is not the court's blessing to have multiple schools!" Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, if the Tiance Mansion is abolished, what role should Fang Xuanling take? What role should Du Ruhui take? There are also Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xiu Liang, Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others, where should they go?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "Fang Xuanling is a man of great fortune, a hardworking royal family, respects the Lord and protects others, is deadly, has virtue, is worthy of the emperor, serves the country diligently, and can be regarded as the sincerity of the country! It can be the book of hundreds of officials, the cardinal of the country!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Li Jiancheng had a very high opinion of Fang Xuanling and actually thought that Fang Xuanling could lead all the officials with the Order of Ministers.

Li Jiancheng went on to say: "Du Ruhui is a man who is intelligent and knowledgeable. He is a pillar of talent. He seeks to travel far and wide. He prepares curtains and plans, and he is economical. He may study comprehensive classics and classics. He is virtuous and brilliant. He has the same secrets and crimes. He is loyal and heard every day. Wang Zuo Talented people can take charge of the emperor's order and observe etiquette. All the affairs of the country are in charge of the Zhongshu order, and the judgment is easy!"

Li Jiancheng's evaluation of Du Ruhui is also good, he can control the province, even higher than Li Shimin's Ministry of War Shangshu, with more authority.

Li Jiancheng then commented on the officials of Tiance Mansion one by one. From this point, Chen Ying could see that Li Jiancheng was not a person who didn't know people, at least he could tell who was talented or who was not.

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng again and asked: "If His Highness ascends to the position of Great Treasure, will the officials of Tiance Mansion be able to give full play to their talents?"

Li Jiancheng said: "This is natural!"

However, Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "They are all Erlang's confidantes, how could they be used by me?"

Chen Ying laughed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, they will naturally make a wise choice when the time comes. Your Majesty is going to abolish Tiance Mansion now. You transfer Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, Xie Yingdeng, and Duan Zhixuan from Prince Qin's Mansion to me. After Sanniang gives birth in the next year, I will take them to clean up Tubo!"

……

In Fang Xuanling's mansion in Chang'an, Lei Yongji persuasively said: "The crown prince bribed Taishi Ling Fu Yi and framed the king for treason. His Majesty decreed that the Tiance Mansion should be abolished. Your Majesty, please return to the mansion immediately to discuss countermeasures."

Du Ruhui quickly stood up and was about to refute. It was obvious that Li Shimin had listened to Du Yan's plan and falsely accused the prince of treason. Why did Lei Yongji's words change the flavor?
Besides, Fu Yi is not the prince's man. At the beginning, because Fu Yi wrote to Li Yuan to expel Buddhism and take back the temple land, Li Jiancheng impeached Fu Yi to confuse the public and planned to dismiss Fu Yi. It was Li Shimin who interceded for Fu Yi and saved Secretary Cheng. The official position, later Taishi Ling was vacant, and it was Li Shimin who helped him to the position of Taishi Ling.

Fang Xuanling got up and said respectfully: "Please tell your majesty that now Fang and Du are no longer the staff of the Prince of Qin's mansion, so it is difficult to follow orders. The majesty invited us to meet in the mansion privately, not only Fang and Du violated the edict. Death, even the king, is also a violation of His Majesty's edict. It is disloyal and unfilial. The king has always cherished his reputation. How can he be confused for a moment and be so disloyal and unfilial? General Lei, please go back."

Lei Yongji jumped three feet high, pointed at Fang Xuanling with his halberd and cursed: "Good you Fang Xuanling, King Qin is in danger now, but you turn your face and deny your parentage! Mr. Du, don't you want to go?

Fang Xuanling played tricks on Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui looked at Lei Yongji, smiled wryly, and sat motionless.

Lei Yongji's eyes were cleft, he pointed at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and cursed: "You two white-eyed wolves, Your Majesty is so blind that he treats you as brothers!

Lei Yongji walked away angrily.

Watching Lei Yongji leave, Du Ru asked puzzledly, "Why don't you go?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The current situation has become so corrupted that it cannot be worsened. If the King of Qin is still obsessed with his obsession, we will only invite trouble if you and I go back. If the King of Qin is determined, he will naturally send people to look for us."

Du Ruhui suddenly understood.

Fang Xuanling's face showed a trace of anxiety and uneasiness.

On December 25th of the sixth year of Wude, Li Yuan officially decreed that Tiance Mansion would be abolished. Fang Xuanling, formerly under Li Shimin's command, was transferred to the Ministry of Officials, and Du Ruhui was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as Yuanwailang. Except for no taboo, call out all of them.

After receiving this imperial decree, Li Shimin sat alone from morning to night without saying a word.

Everyone waited anxiously in the hall.

Yuchi Jingde sometimes sat down, sometimes stood, and sometimes walked back and forth.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help shouting: "Jingde, can't you just sit still?

Yuchi Jingde pointed to the outside and said: "It will be dark soon, why is King Qin still sitting in the study?
Li Shimin walked out of the study with a tired face.

Everyone cheered and surrounded Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked around at the generals and said, "Can we let the East Palace do it first? Then we will be justified."

Yuchi Jingde's eyes widened immediately and he said: "Let the crown prince do it first? We are not invulnerable iron kings, we are really waiting for bows and arrows to shoot over, our little people are not enough for others to eat?"

Cheng Zhijie smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, everything can be surrendered, except the first opportunity. Whether it is fame or righteousness! It is meaningless to the defeated general!"

Li Shimin was silent.

Changsun Wuji said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now that the East Palace has taken the lead, they will not make such a foolish move. Your Majesty's abolishment of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace is just one of them. I am afraid that the generals of the Tiance Palace will be transferred later." !"

Li Shimin scanned the crowd, and suddenly found that there were no Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the crowd, and asked strangely, "Where are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Lei Yongji went to invite him personally, but I don't know why, the two of them haven't come yet!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy.

At this moment, Lei Yongji rushed into the hall angrily, and seeing everyone present, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two thieves, don't want to come!"

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and stared at Lei Yongji.

Lei Yongji said indignantly: "They said that they are no longer the staff of Qin Wangfu, and the king summoned them privately to meet in the mansion, which is to violate His Majesty's edict, which is not only disloyalty, but also unfilial piety."

Li Shimin drew out his saber and handed it to Yuchi Jingde, and ordered coldly: "Jingde, you go again, the mansion of the two gentlemen, just say that I said it, I don't care about his mother's holy decree, I don't care about it." No matter who it is, they are not allowed to follow me anymore. From now on, I will wait in Chengqian Hall. I will not rest until I meet them today. Is the edict a death? You go ahead with this knife and tell them that if you don’t follow the instructions, you will cut off their heads immediately and return to the government to return!”

Yuchi Jingde's eyes lit up, and he took the waist knife.

Yu Chigong rode a war horse, held Li Shimin's waist knife, and led a group of soldiers, galloped straight to Fang Xuanling's mansion, but Yu Chigong was left empty, and Fang Xuanling's house was empty.

Yu Chigong took people to Du Ruhui's home again, and found that the two were dressed as Taoist priests.

The first moment they saw Yu Chigong, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin has figured it out!"

Yu Chigong looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui with a murderous expression on his face, "You two should go, or not?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "What if you go, so what if you don't?"

Yuchi Gong said coldly: "Anyway, you have to go if you want to go, or you have to go if you don't go, go by yourself, or I will use this knife to chop off your heads, take your heads and return to the house to return!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled: "Then let's go!"

Yu Chigong scolded bitterly: "The slut is tender, if you can't get involved, you will go backwards!"

Yu Chigong stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Ruhui, threw him onto a cavalry horse, then picked up Fang Xuanling, and led the crowd to gallop all the way towards Qin Palace.

Fang Xuanling, who was bumping on the horseback, was miserable, Fang Xuanling said angrily: "Jingde, you want to kill me!"

"Hmph! If you die, you will die!" Yuchi Gong said coldly, "This is what happens when you betray King Qin!"

"You bastard!"

Yu Chigong arrived at Prince Qin's mansion, held Fang Xuanling with one hand, and dragged Du Ruhui into the hall with the other.

Cheng Zhijie looked at this scene, and shouted fiercely: "Well, you still have the face to come!"

The civil and military officials who had already gathered in the hall surrounded Fang and Du with a "hula".

Li Shimin stepped forward to help Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and said, "I've offended you!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "It seems that the king has figured it out!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "If you can't figure it out, you can only die!"

At this time, everyone realized that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not rebel, but forced Li Shimin to make up his mind.

Everyone patted each other's shoulders and laughed loudly.

Li Shimin said one word at a time: "Shimin decided to start on New Year's Eve and set the battlefield in Taiji Palace. On New Year's Eve, His Majesty will definitely call Prince Qi and Princess Pingyang into the palace to watch the night. At that time, we will Do it!"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "No matter what method we come up with, we may be able to fool the crown prince, but we definitely cannot fool Wei Zheng."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Wei Zheng, he can't do anything until the dust settles."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten someone?"

PS: Finally coded out!Goodnight everybody!
