Man Tanghong

Chapter 8
Li Yuanji pressed Xie Shufang's hand and signaled Xie Shufang not to panic, "Of course I know you won't leak the news, but when I asked you to investigate, you didn't avoid the people outside the hall. People outside the hall know, don't you?" Will you tell them?

They know, won't they escape? "

Xie Shufang breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked outside the hall.

The guards and door maids guarding the entrance of the hall looked at the people around them in astonishment. Some people felt guilty, and there was a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

"Don't worry about it, they are all the subordinates of the female officials and subordinate officials in the house. It is human nature to inform the female officials and subordinate officials."

Li Yuanji was not his predecessor, he was not that tyrannical, he would not take human life as a joke, and he would not kill for such a thing.

Xie Shufang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just let them go like this?"

Xie Shufang felt that as a minister, genus, and servant, loyalty was the most basic requirement.

It's not that Xie Shufang is strict, but that's what this era requires of ministers, relatives, and servants.

"They have been in the mansion for four years. They have no merits and hard work. Let them spare their lives. The guards will be sent to the Twelve Guards to serve as ordinary soldiers, and the maids will be sent to the Yeting Palace to be envoys.

I will leave this matter to you, so as not to hurt their lives. "

Li Yuanji gave a simple order.

The door maids and guards didn't make any serious mistakes, so they didn't take their lives.

The guilty maids and guards at the gate of the hall breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling a little more grateful to Li Yuanji in their hearts.

His Royal Highness King Qi, who has always been known for his brutality, could spare their lives, that would definitely be a great gift from heaven.

They are the subordinates of Prince Qi's mansion, and Li Yuanji has absolute power over them.

Even if Li Yuanji killed them, he killed their whole family by the way.

Hundreds of officials will only impeach Li Yuanji for being unkind, but they will never say that Li Yuanji did something wrong.

"Here!"

Uncle Xie felt a little unhappy when he saw that Li Yuanji let go of the disloyal person outside the door lightly, but he agreed.

Xie Shufang didn't have that much intention to kill, he just felt that the unfaithful should suffer some flesh and blood.

"So, did any of the female officials and subordinate officials in the mansion run away after hearing the news?"

Li Yuanji asked again.

Xie Shufang pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know if it counts as running away..."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, and asked, "How?"

Xie Shufang bowed and said: "When His Highness was still asleep this morning, Mrs. Yang of Qin Wang's Mansion found Wang Concubine and empress, and borrowed Gao Shangyi from the mansion, saying that His Highness Zhongshan County King has also reached the age to learn etiquette. It was Gao Shangyi who knew etiquette best, so he borrowed Gao Shangyi.

Xue Bao, the right guard in the mansion, was sent away by His Royal Highness just now, saying that he had something important to ask for help.

Liu Shangshan in the house, after going to the Shangshan Bureau this morning, never came back. "

The corner of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched, this Qi Palace was like a sieve.

That Gao Shangyi must belong to Li Shimin.

The King of Zhongshan County that Xie Shufang said was Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was Li Yuan's favored grandson, so how could he lack someone to teach him.

Gao Shangyi knows the etiquette in the palace best?
So what is Li Gang, the Minister of Rites who taught many princes and grandchildren?
He is a person who studies "Yi Li" seriously.

So Mrs. Yang asked Princess Qi to borrow Gao Shangyi to teach Li Chengqian etiquette, that was an excuse.

It is obvious that Gao Shangyi knew that he was going to clean up the people in the house, and immediately secretly contacted Qin Wangfu, who she was really loyal to, and asked Li Shimin to save her.

Mrs. Yang borrowing Gao Shangyi is no different from Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou.

As for Xue Bao, this is a big scam.

In history, it was this guy who provoked the predecessor's ambition to fight for the throne.

This guy gave the predecessor a talisman, saying that the word "Yuanji" is Tang, which indicates that the predecessor will be the true son of Li Tang in the future.

The predecessor really believed it, and excitedly took the talisman to tell Li Yuan.

I don't know what kind of mood Li Yuan felt after seeing his son being fooled by a talisman to look like a fool.

Li Yuanji didn't expect that this guy actually belonged to Li Jiancheng.

From this point of view, the ambition of the predecessors in history to compete for the throne may have been provoked by Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng provoked his predecessor's ambition, probably not to create an opponent for himself, but to use the hands of his predecessor to clean up Li Shimin.

In history, after the predecessor had developed ambitions, he almost did a major event that would affect the entire history of the Tang Dynasty.

That is to let his guard Yu Wenbao hide under his couch to assassinate Li Shimin.

If Li Yuan hadn't accompanied Li Shimin, the predecessor might have really succeeded.

Li Jiancheng probably didn't want to be stained with his brother's blood, making Li Yuan disgusted, thus losing the crown prince, so he used his predecessor as a gunman.

"It's still a little bit hard, otherwise it will really be successful..."

Li Yuanji muttered his evaluation.

Li Jiancheng was obviously not as ruthless as Li Shimin, so he took into account Li Yuan's attitude and used his predecessor as a gunman.

If he had the ruthlessness of Li Shimin, killing his younger brother and nephew, and killing Li Tang's direct lineage, he would be the only one left. Even if Li Yuan hated him to the bone, he would have to pass on the throne to him.

This is what Li Shimin did in history. After killing his brothers and nephews, he was the only one left in the direct line. Li Yuan was almost pissed off, but he could only pass on the throne to him.

"What's so hard, what can it do?"

Xie Shufang was a little closer to Li Ji, and heard Li Yuanji whispering.

Li Yuanji glared at Xie Shufang, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, tell the princess and ask her to send a message to Mrs. Yang in the Qin Palace, saying that people can give it to the Qin Palace, but the money, land, houses, and shops that have been seized must be paid. Hand it over, or don't blame me for going to ask for someone in person.

Then ask Li Huanqi to go to the East Palace and bring Xue Bao back to me.

Xue Bao is from my Palace of Qi, if the East Palace wants to use it, let them bring the imperial decree. "

The Li Huqi that Li Yuanji spoke of was Li Sixing, and he was one of Li Yuan's Taiyuan Yuanmou heroes. Although his credit was not as high as that of Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and the others, he was still Li Yuan's servant of the dragon.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he appointed him a general of hussars, plus guards, and served as the governor of Qi Wangfu.

Shang Hujun is an honorary officer, not a real job.

Xue Bao's guard is also an honorary officer, and his actual position is the Deputy Dianjun of the Tent Neifu of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Although Li Yuan doesn't care much about his predecessor's education, he still cares about his predecessor's safety. He knows that his predecessor has no brains, so he specially asked Li Sixing, who has brains, to serve as the long history of his predecessor. The fate of the predecessor.

It's a pity that although Li Sixing has brains, he is not good at playing with power, and he is unwilling to follow his predecessor to do evil together, so his predecessor looks down on him.

As for Li Sixing's status as a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, others may take a high look, but the predecessor needs to look high?
Li Yuanji let Gao Shangyi lightly, because Gao Shangyi was irrelevant, and the Qin Palace had given him enough face, so he found an excuse to get someone, and also left the relationship with the bedroom.

The reason Donggong was asked to hand over Xue Bao was because Xue Bao was a key person. He was the Deputy Dianjun of Prince Qi's tent, and he knew many dirty things about Prince Qi's residence.

If this kind of person is handed over to Li Jiancheng, there is no guarantee that he will not explode at a critical moment.

In addition, when Li Jiancheng was looking for people, he didn't show any face to Prince Qi's mansion at all, and he was seconded when he said he was seconded. Li Yuanji, the master, didn't know about it, and neither did the mistress in the dormitory.

Li Jiancheng completely regarded Qi Wangfu as his own place.

Li Yuanji was not used to Li Jiancheng's stink.

"What about Liu Shangshan?"

Xie Shufang asked.

From the beginning to the end, Li Yuanji chased Gao Shangyi and Xue Bao, but did not mention Liu Shangshan at all, Xie Shufang was a little confused.

Li Yuanji gave Xie Shufang a white look, "How many people do you think in this palace can take away a Shang Shan from my house without any notice and don't care about my attitude?"

Xie Shufang rolled his eyes and took a breath, "You mean, Liu Shangshan is..."

Li Yuan's people, who else could it be? !
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, "It's good to know, don't say it."

Xie Shufang nodded heavily.

"Has anyone else escaped?"

Li Yuanji continued to ask.

Xie Shufang shook his head decisively.

Li Yuanji thought about it and nodded.

That's right, no matter whether it's a female official or a subordinate official of Prince Qi's mansion, there is no way to escape without anyone's backing.

After escaping from the Taiji Palace, can you still escape from Chang'an City?After escaping from Chang'an City, can he still escape from the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

Even if they escaped from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, what would the family do?
The female officials and subordinate officials of Prince Qi's mansion are different from the maidservants and eunuchs in Prince Qi's mansion.

Female officials and subordinate officials are all good families, and those who drag their families along cannot escape at all.

Maids and eunuchs are either widows left over from the previous dynasty, or Li Tang's prisoners of war, who are slaves.

Most of them had no family members, and even if they did, they were separated for many years, or were killed by Li Shimin on the battlefield, or hacked to death by Li Yuan in Chang'an City.

"If you haven't escaped, all your property will be confiscated and handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can handle it."

Officials in the palace generally made mistakes, and they were dealt with individually. They were rarely handed over, and even if they were to be handed over, they could only be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If it was handed over to Dali Temple, Dali Temple would not dare to accept it.

After all, the officials in the palace serve the emperor, princes, and concubines. If some court scandals are revealed in Dali Temple, it will be a lot of fun.

"what?"

Xie Shufang was a little confused when he heard that Li Yuanji was going to hand him over.

If there is a problem with the officials in the East Palace, Prince Qin's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion, or even other palaces of princes and princesses, they will be dealt with by themselves.

So far, no one has handed over.

It's a bit embarrassing for Li Yuanji to do this.

After all, if there is a problem with the people in the house, if you don't solve it yourself, but hand it over, others will think you are incompetent.

Li Yuanji saw what Xie Shufang was thinking, and did not explain, "Do as I say."

Although this approach is somewhat inappropriate, it does not conform to the predecessor's behavior style.

But Li Yuanji is a person who has received new ideas and new education, and he still values ​​human life more, and will not easily judge a person's life or death.
