People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 880 The methods are terrible, the King of Nanchang

In the dark cell, Li Xuan walked calmly, wearing black brocade clothes as if completely blending into the darkness.

A Dali Temple jailer held a lantern to lead the way, and Li Xuan walked forward expressionlessly.

From time to time, rustling sounds came from the cells on both sides, but there was no bigger movement.

The kind of thing where people would come up to them and cry and complain that they were wronged did not happen.

Today's Dali Temple, Di Renjie, Duan Baoxuan, and other Dali Temple officials are all good at reviewing and breaking prison sentences.

These prisoners who can be sent to Dali Temple Prison have some means of death.

The political clarity under Li Zhi can still be glimpsed.

Of course, it only goes to Dali Temple, not including the Ministry of Punishment.

There is no second Di Renjie in the Ministry of Punishment.

In a moment, Li Xuan was already standing in front of a cell.

In the cell, Li Lin stood with a worried expression.

"Brother clan!" Li Xuan called out softly. Li Lin turned around instantly, with joy in his eyes, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

"After the imperial edict came, Zhou Sui was dismissed from all official positions in Dali Temple and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Fan Huaiyi, the gatekeeper of the left prison, was dismissed from all military positions and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. General Quan Shancai, the general of Zuo Weiwei, was dismissed from the left prison. The post of General of the Guards is assigned to the Ganliang Taoist army." Li Xuan looked at Li Lin calmly.

Li Lin's breath suddenly sank, and then he asked: "What about me?"

Li Xuan shook her head calmly: "No."

"No, what do you mean no?" Li Lin suddenly became angry. He walked quickly to the cell door, grabbed the wooden railing of the cell door tightly, and said through gritted teeth: "Is there no punishment or no reward?"

"No, the saint didn't even mention your name." Li Xuan's expression remained calm, but Li Lin paused.

He slowly loosened his grip on the cell door, then slipped weakly to the ground and whispered in disbelief: "Does the saint hate me?"

"This time, if there had been no impeachment by Yushi Zhongcheng, even if His Majesty knew about it, he would have only fined General Quan three months' salary at most. However, as soon as Yushi Zhongcheng impeached him, he destroyed the Zhaoling tomb, damaged the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and ordered General Quan to be executed. Decide."

Li Xuan looked at Li Lin calmly and said softly: "The origin of this wave of turmoil between the government and the public lies with you."

"So, Your Majesty hates me, and those who are close to General Quan hate me, and those people who have not succeeded in their calculations also hate me." Li Lin suddenly laughed at himself and said: "This time, I did everything inside and outside. People."

"You should know that it was Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen who recruited General Quan to serve as an official in the court. This matter will inevitably involve Cui Zuocheng. You should understand how many people will target you in the future." Li Xuan finished her sentence. , Li Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

"Is this matter targeting Cui Zuocheng?" Li Lin couldn't help but shudder. He knew that he was in big trouble.

The emperor hates him, but the emperor is far away from him; General Quan's people hate him, but they are generals and have nothing to fear; those who plot against him are too late to hide from him in a short time, how can they provoke him, but Shangshu Zuo Cheng was still a member of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Li Lin immediately knew that his future was ruined.

Being assigned to a marginal county and serving as county captain was a blessing for his clan status, but nothing more.

In the future, those people from the Cui family will not let him go. At worst, he will be deceived and dismissed from his post, or at worst, he will be directly thrown into the army and die on the battlefield.

"Brother, why don't you take your illness and return home to recuperate temporarily?" Li Xuan sighed softly. The reason why he helped Li Lin so much was because the other party had helped him a little when he was young. He couldn't bear to see him sink like this. So stay away from this storm for the time being, maybe there will be another opportunity in the future.

Li Lin had a bitter smile on his face, but he still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that Aye is nearly sixty years old, but he is still the governor of Yizhou, Cao joined the army. If he can send Li Lin to the left prison guard as a school captain, he is already a captain." I have tried my best... If this matter ends like this, Lin will be ashamed of his parents, his brothers, and his children. I hope that the prince will remember his past feelings and lend a hand to Lin. No matter whether it is successful or not, Lin will have no regrets in his heart, otherwise , I’m afraid only one of them will die.”

After saying that, Li Lin bowed his head deeply and almost fell to his knees. You can imagine the despair in his heart.

"Brother, do you know where you went wrong?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke. Li Lin was slightly startled, and then he solemnly cupped his hands and said, "You shouldn't sue General Quan."

Li Xuan shook his head and said calmly: "It's just a general of the Sixteenth Guards. Just sue him. What's more, he did something wrong...Brother, your mistake was that you raised your head too high and didn't talk to your colleagues. If you have a good relationship with your immediate boss, it is better to be in charge than to be in charge, and the final outcome is that both sides will lose."

Li Lin once said that he had a bad relationship with all the superior officials, so the problem could only be with him.

He maintains his clan status, is arrogant, looks down on his superiors, has many conflicts with his colleagues, and treats his subordinates harshly. This is the reason why Li Lin has reached this point.

It is not that Li Lin has not heard what Li Xuan said, but he has never put it into his heart. Even now, he can remember what Li Xuan said, but if he is released, he will still not change his past style. Because he doesn't know how to change.

"Brother, Xuan will give you a suggestion today. After you return, write a letter to His Majesty, asking for permission to clean up Zhaoling for three years on the grounds that the accusation involves the fire in Zhaoling, and you will blame yourself physically and mentally. If you can stay for three years, Xuan will protect you." A position in Zongzheng Temple, and then, step by step from Zongzheng Temple, where you can go depends on your luck." Li Xuan sighed lightly, this was the best way he could think of to help Li Lin , if he doesn't need...

"Clean Zhaoling for three years." Li Lin suddenly felt extremely unwilling and wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he couldn't.

Because he knew deep down in his heart that if he really wanted to embark on an official career again and make progress in his official career, Li Xuan's words would be his best way out.

There is no other way. "Brother, think about your father, if you clean Zhaoling for three years, your father will be satisfied after hearing this." Li Xuan's last trump card made Li Lin bow his head completely.

"Okay, that's it. Maybe this is the only way to gain His Majesty's approval." Li Lin nodded heavily.

"Then let's go today. The prepared clothes are placed at the door. After the elder brother goes to Zhaoling, he will deliver the memorial. I will find an opportunity to send it to Zhongshu Province and then submit it to His Majesty." Li Xuan opened the cell door. Li Lin sighed softly and walked towards Li Xuan.

Walking to the cell door, Li Xuan's voice suddenly sounded faintly: "Brother, there is one last question. As you are, if you want to file a complaint, you should go to Zongzheng Temple. Why did you end up at Yushitai?" , who asked you to do this?”

Li Lin was slightly stunned and sighed in his heart. Only now did he finally understand the reason why Li Xuan came to arrange for him today.

Approaching Li Xuan, Li Lin said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's North Gate Bachelor Liu Yizhi."

After finishing speaking, Li Lin bowed deeply and said: "In this case, I leave everything to the prince."

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Li Lin walked past Li Xuan, then picked up the package on the ground and walked quickly to the door of Dali Temple Prison.

It wasn't until Li Lin completely disappeared that a voice sounded in the cell behind Li Xuan: "Why didn't the prince tell him that Shangshu Zuo Cheng belongs to the prince? This disturbance is an attack by the North Gate bachelor on the prince."

Yes, this is the attack on the prince by the North Gate bachelor under Empress Wu.

Or to be more precise, this time, it was Empress Wu's revenge.

Li Xian had just rescued two half-brothers, but he was immediately resented by Empress Wu.

There is also Quan Shancai. He is not connected to the Tianshui Quan family. He is obviously connected to Li Xian through the Quan family.

No one knows how such news was known to Empress Wu, but when Empress Wu learned about it, she immediately became furious.

A storm broke out immediately.

Li Xuan turned around and looked into the dark cell behind him. Without the firelight, you would have no idea where anyone was or who was there.

"General Fan Zhonglang." Li Xuan revealed the identity of the figure in the darkness and said calmly: "General Zhonglang should have heard what I just said. His Majesty has issued an order to remove you from all military positions and punish you. Entered Zhaoling to serve as a labor force for three years."

"This general's treatment is much worse than that of Lieutenant Li. I don't know what I can do for the prince so that he can have a chance to recover in the future." Fan Huaiyi, the guard of the left prison guard, Zhonglang, slowly walked away from the darkness. He came out and looked at Li Xuan with a sneer on his face.

Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said: "General Quan can send Gan Liangdao to join the army, that is what Di Renjie asked for; I saved Li Lin because he is a member of the clan; General Zhonglang, I don't know why. I want to save you, but I don’t know how to save you?”

Fan Huaiyi couldn't help but continue to sneer, but under Li Xuan's cold gaze, his sneer quickly subsided, and then said expressionlessly: "The prince sent Li Lin to Zhaoling as a punishment, in addition to letting him avoid disaster, I'm afraid there are also plans to lure the snake out of the hole. If those people want to deal with Li Lin, besides doing it themselves, I'm afraid they can only borrow the power of others, such as Mo Jiang and Zhou Sui."

Li Xuan nodded slightly and signaled Fan Huaiyi to continue.

Fan Huaiyi took a deep breath and said softly: "Zhou Sui is too incompetent. He is still confused until now. On the contrary, he is a junior general, but he has some uses. If those people come again, then the junior general may be recruited far above Zhou Sui. By then When the time comes, the general may become the prince’s internal adviser.”

"Why doesn't General Fan Zhonglang consider joining the North Gate bachelor directly? What those people can offer is far superior to me." Li Xuan looked at Fan Huaiyi calmly.

Fan Huaiyi turned his head in disgust and said: "In the eyes of those people, they only use it and throw it away after use."

Li Xuan smiled softly, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine, General Zhonglang can give it a try. After all, there is one surnamed Fan among the North Gate bachelors."

Zuo Shi, Fan Lubing.

Fan Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands: "In that case, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "General Zhonglang, if you have anything to do, please go to the guards of Zhaoling. They will inform me."

Fan Huaiyi's expression turned solemn and he immediately raised his hands: "Here!"

Li Xuan turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the Dali Temple Prison, but at this moment, Fan Huaiyi's face became extremely scary as he thought of something.

The king of Nanchang, the mausoleum protector, Zhaoling, caught fire.

Sure enough, the methods are terrible!

　"Prisoners' Prayers"
