Red Tang

"Get out, get out!" Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty grabbed a stack of memorials from the imperial case and threw them vigorously.

Straight up, breathing heavily, Li Longji felt a nameless evil fire burning in his heart, which made him very manic.After defeating Pingwei, Zhu Taiping became the emperor, and he has been the emperor of Taiping for more than 40 years.He leveled the bad government by himself, rectified the administration of officials, and accepted advice widely.With Yao Chong, Song Jing and other good ministers as prime ministers, the monarch and ministers finally created a Kaiyuan prosperity comparable to Zhenguan. Whose achievements can compare with yourself!Looking at the secret performance before the imperial case, Li Longji smiled wryly and shook his head.Yeah, 40 years, so long that some people can't wait.First it was Ying, then Heng'er, and even Mao'er hated herself.The prince changed things like a revolving lantern, but he couldn't get a trace of father-son affection.Everyone said that Li Longji was cruel and ruthless, killing his aunts and children, but who knew that he wanted to let his son play with his grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of his family.I knocked again and again, and warned him, but he didn't know how to get into a dead end.Self-inflicted crimes, you can't live, Heng Er, don't blame your father for being cruel!

Knocking on the imperial case alone, Li Longji quickly calmed down his angry mood.He raised his head and glanced at the eunuch below, cleared his throat, and Li Longji became that majestic Tian Khan again.

"You did a good job this time. Go back and continue to keep an eye on your master. If there is any change in him, report to me immediately, and I will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." The servant saluted and said sharply.

Impatiently waving his hand, Li Longji closed his eyes wearily.Over the years, I have become more and more tired. After I got married with Yuhuan, I couldn't sleep well the next day.Even taking the elixir offered by the alchemist can only meet the temporary needs, and you will become more and more tired afterwards.Are you really old?No, I'm still the Heavenly Khan who came to court from all over the world in Vega, and I will never grow old!

"Your Majesty, are you still worrying about the Eastern Palace?" A slightly aged voice sounded in the hall, pulling Li Longji back from his meditation.

"It's Yuan Yi (Note 1), come, come to my side." Li Longji waved his hand at the servant, a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The servant was none other than Gao Lishi, the most powerful hussar general in the inner court, who stood up lightly and came to Li Longji's side in just a few steps.

Looking at the white hair on Gao Lishi's temples, Li Longji sighed: "Yuanyi, you and I are both old. I think back then when the Taiping Rebellion was quelled, I jumped on my horse and gave advice. You didn't know how Where can I get a pair of armor to protect me by my side. You old bastard, if it really comes to the moment when I rely on you to protect me, I am afraid that time will not be long."

"Your Majesty, your body is so strong, how can you grow old. It's an old slave, and your bones are getting more and more sore."

With a light wave of his hand, Li Longji's eyes darkened, and he handed a secret note to Gao Lishi who was next, and sighed: "But even this moment, he can't wait. Tell me, what should I do."

Gao Lishi took the melody with both hands, flipped it over hastily, but also frowning.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that this matter was done by His Highness?"

Li Longji frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "What is Yuan Yi's intention? Is it possible that I can still wrong him?"

Gao Lishi sighed and said: "I don't mean that, but this matter is quite strange, I hope His Majesty will handle it carefully."

Li Longji's heart sank, he waved his hands and said, "Just tell me if you have any questions, when did you become so hesitant."

"This Leyou original murder case shows that it seems to be the work of Qingkemeng, and there are indeed four lines of prophecy left by him at the scene. However, the suspects arrested by Jing Zhaoyin were all burned to death. There is no way to check it, and it cannot be ruled out that someone is trying to hide it." After a pause, seeing that Li Longji was not impatient, Gao Lishi continued: "Besides, Your Majesty knew that the Qingke League was an organization cultivated by His Royal Highness in private. How can you give people a handle, lest the world will not know. Furthermore, the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion found a large amount of green phosphorus on the body of the deceased. This object is exclusively for the royal family in the Western Regions. Apart from Your Majesty, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince owns it in the palace. This thing. How could His Highness be so stupid as to sacrifice himself as a deer to give outsiders a chance to criticize him?"

Li Longji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, someone is deliberately framing Heng'er?"

"The old servant doesn't know, but His Highness was raised by the old servant. His Highness has a kind heart, and he will never have second thoughts about His Majesty."

"Hmph. If you know people, face, but not heart, how do you know what he thinks in his heart?" Shaking his head, Li Longji said loudly: "Forget it, don't mention these troublesome things. Just watch him more for me, I'm tired, back off."

"The old slave leads the decree, and I hope your Majesty will take good care of the dragon's body for the longevity of the country!" Seeing that Li Longji would not listen to the advice, Gao Lishi couldn't persuade him too much, sighed silently in his heart, and bowed out of the office of Qinzhengwu.

In Wubenfang Guozijian, it was noon, and all the students were discussing and excited.

Xiao Wenruo picked up his wine glass and said angrily: "This Qingkemeng is so arrogant that he openly committed murder in an important place in the capital!"

Liang Zike took a sip of his wine and said, "If the court has no background, what big waves can it cause with its Jianghu alliance. I see, there are big figures behind it to support it, and they are demonstrating against political opponents."

Duan came over halfway, cupped his hands and smiled apologetically, "Can the two big brothers tell the younger brother, it sounds quite interesting."

Liang Zike snorted softly and said, "What's the difficulty? Let's say that that day, the Qingke League sent a letter to the congregation, asking all the Qingke to gather in the small bamboo forest outside the original Qinglong Temple in Leyou on the night of the full moon of April and fifteenth." Let’s open a church meeting.” After pouring down a cup of fine wine, Liang Zike continued: “In other words, when the moon is high and the young guests gather, the ghost-faced hall master stopped drinking, and dozens of crossbowmen flashed out from the bamboo forest At one command, ten thousand arrows were fired. The Qingke who was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion that day were all shot into hedgehogs in an instant!"

"Hiss." Duan took a deep breath, and said in a harmonious voice, "Then why does Lao Shizi's Qingke League have a military crossbow? That guy is really ruthless!"

Glancing contemptuously at the other party, Liang Zike said proudly: "You don't know that. Although the military crossbow is strictly prohibited by the people, it is not impossible to get it. The sixteen guards (Note 2) in the capital are in charge of it, and they rotate every year. , Serving the two guards. The other is the left and right Longwu Army of the Suwei Palace." After a pause, Liang Zike lowered his volume and said: "Of course, both the Sixteen Guards and the Left and Right Longwu Army belong to His Majesty's personal guards Without His Majesty's permission, he would not do such harm to the people. Apart from these troops, only the Six Commanders of the East Palace in Chang'an City have this standard military crossbow."

"Liang Zike, pay attention to your words and deeds. Do you know what crime it is to wantonly frame the current prince?" The handsome young man in white robe rushed to the table and shouted at Liang Zike angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey. Did I say that His Highness the Crown Prince did it? Wei Jianming, don't be so nervous. Liang is just stating the facts, but he doesn't want to tell anyone he doesn't want anyone." Pushing Wei Jianming's arm casually Open, Liang Zike said relentlessly.

"You! You're bullying too much." Wei Jianming yelled angrily and jumped forward to wrestle with Liang Zike.For a while, fists and feet were exchanged, which was very lively.After some fighting, the two of them became angry, and both of you came and went with me.

"Stop it!" Dr. Guozi Sun Jian'an pointed at the two of them heartbroken, and shouted, "Look at the two of you, your clothes are messy and your faces are covered with blood. It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman!" Waving his sleeves, Dr. Guozi continued: "After five days, the Guozijian will conduct the exams on classics, history, and calligraphy. Those who fail the grades will be persuaded to leave, and the Guozijian will not support idlers!" Turning around and walking to the gate, Sun Jianan was full of hatred again Said: "If you have time, read more classics, don't always think about opportunism, you yellow-mouthed children can judge the affairs of the court, don't regret it when disaster strikes!"

In a square table next to the south corner, Li Kuo frowned and said: "This matter is more complicated than I thought. I am afraid that if we continue to investigate, countless people will be involved and a bloody storm will be set off."

Zhang Yanji tilted his head and said suspiciously: "Even Brother Kuo'er is afraid? It's just that this matter is imminent and has to be done. Even if we don't trouble them, the people behind the scenes will definitely kill us."

Shaking his head lightly, Li Kuo said in a harmonious voice: "The current plan is to take one step at a time. There will be a three-day holiday after the routine exam, and we will make detailed plans at that time. Now, it is better to study a lot to prepare for the exam to avoid It's embarrassing when you get it."

Zhang Yanji curled his lips: "If you say it's all bad, I didn't say that you have to take a routine exam when you study in the Imperial College. Now if you fail the grades and get kicked out, even if Grandpa doesn't scold me, I dare not go home. gone."

Li Kuo nodded his friend's brow lightly, and said with a wry smile: "You little ancestor, I heard that the routine exams of the Imperial College are all based on the content taught by Mr. Pingri. When you go back in the past few days, you should read more notes I made on Pingri, believe me It's okay to take the exam."

He bowed his hands to Li Kuo solemnly, Zhang Yanji forced himself to suppress a smile, and said in a harmonious voice: "In this way, there will be brother Lao Kuo!"

Note 1: Yuan Yi, whose real name is Feng Yuanyi, entered the palace when he was young, and was adopted by Gao Yanfu as his adopted son, so he changed his name to Gao Lishi.

Note 2: The sixteen guards system is the advanced stage of the Weifu system and the crystallization of the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.It's a pity that the military system of the government was corrupted later, and the prosperous dreams of the prosperous Tang Dynasty finally came to smoke.Li Longji has to bear a lot of responsibility for this.
