Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 206: Like a misdiagnosed terminal cancer patient

In the Buddhist hall of Shengye Temple in Shengyefang, Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty knelt quietly on a soft cushion, recalling many episodes from the past in his mind.

The sound of fighting outside the Buddhist hall was heard continuously. Wu Zhiyi's people had already found this place and were climbing over the courtyard wall via ladders in an attempt to attack the Buddhist hall.Not only Li Yi's private army joined the battle, but even the monks from Shengye Temple came over to help.

If he can't withstand it, he can only say that destiny lies with Li Heng, and Li Longji has nothing to say.

At this moment, he felt extremely calm and recalled many things from the past.

When Qianlong was in the abyss, he had mastered his wisdom and lived in harmony with his brothers. It was such a joy to be brothers, friends and brothers.

He handled state affairs with ease, played with the old coins of foreign dynasties, and was like a fish in water, creating the prosperous Kaiyuan era!
How powerful and omnipotent he is!But how did things get to this point?

Why did his sons, one or two, stand up against him?

There was Prince Li Ying in front of him, and there was loyal king Li Heng in the back. As for the dog that doesn't bark like Shou Wang, let alone him.King Shou jumped out early because he didn't want to live anymore. There are many others who haven't jumped out yet. What are those sons and grandsons who are shouting long live the saint, what are they thinking in their hearts?
Could it be that they are all like King Shou, always looking for opportunities to cause trouble?
It has to be said that this possibility is very high and has even become inevitable.

Those who are powerful are like the loyal king Li Heng, and those who want to be opportunistic are like the longevity king Li Chen.Brother Ji suddenly discovered that there seemed to be two types of people among his filial sons and grandsons!

One is a rebel who is plotting or has already plotted rebellion!

The other type is a preparatory rebel who has not yet rebelled, but is always ready to rebel!
My heart is really tired!

Li Longji sighed softly. He was really tired and didn't want to care about anything.This time he didn't have any objection to the longevity king Li Xuan. After all, he expected that Li Xuan would rebel.

But what he, a good son, did was a hundred times more serious than treason. He wanted to drag all the clan members surnamed Li to die together!

But the rebellion of the loyal king Li Heng was somewhat beyond Brother Ji's expectations.This is not to say that it is impossible for this son to rebel, but the resources mobilized by the loyal king Li Heng have caused a storm that has far exceeded Brother Ji's expectations!

It's already so powerful that Brother Ji is afraid!

Li Longji has been wondering for the past few hours, where did Li Heng get so many connections?When did he get so many connections?

This scoundrel is not simple.

"Sage, another army has come outside and is fighting Wu Zhiyi's remaining soldiers.

In order to prevent accidental injury, Wei Chen had already asked his men to retreat to the periphery of the Buddhist hall.It's still not possible to tell who that army is. Judging from their clothes, they should be members of the Jinwu Guard. "

The Xin'an King Li Yi, who was covered in blood, entered the Buddhist hall, bowed and saluted Li Longji, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands folded.

He brought Li Longji a piece of good news and another piece of news that I don’t know if it’s good news or not!
The good news is that Wu Zhiyi is about to be unable to withstand it. It is only a matter of time before he is killed and dispersed or even annihilated. As for King Xue's people, they have retreated to the defense of King Xue's house, so don't mention it.

What makes people uncertain is who the coming army is, or what their intentions are.

During the coups of the past dynasties, the drama of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind has been played out many times.

"Come out with me and have a look."

Li Longji sighed softly and said, he felt that he had no desires and desires now.Whoever becomes the emperor or whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’s really tiring.

However, when he walked out of the Buddhist hall, he saw people kneeling on the ground outside the Buddhist hall, outside the circle of Li Yi's confidants, all of whom were Qiu Ba wearing the uniform of the Jinwu Guards!

"Only a humble minister can be virtuous. The rescuer came late. Please forgive me, saint!"

Fang Youde, who was tall and thin, held the transfer order document given to him by Zheng Shuqing in his hand and knelt on the ground with his hands raised.

"Quan Zhong! You are finally here, Quan Zhong!

I know, I know there are still loyal ministers! "

Brother Ji pushed aside a guard in front of him, rushed forward and pulled Fang You up. He suddenly started to cry loudly without caring about his image!
"Rebels! There are all rebels outside! You are the only loyal ministers! I finally waited for the loyal ministers to save you!

I...I don’t know what to say, Quan Zhong, it’s great that you can come. Hurry, take me back to Xingqing Palace! "

Brother Ji roared excitedly, he couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.

"Sage, we can't rule out that Li Heng's gang members are causing trouble. Please go to Xiyuan, where the Longwu Army is stationed, with the ministers, and wait for good news at Xuanwu Gate.

Please grant Wei Chen full authority to deal with it, and Wei Chen will definitely give your Majesty a peaceful Chang'an! "

Fang Youde clasped his hands tightly and performed a fist-clasping salute common in the military.

"Okay, okay, I will appoint you as the general of the Longwu Army now, to command all the Longwu Army!

At the same time, he is responsible for dispatching various departments of the Nanya Forbidden Army. Now you can follow me to Xuanwu Gate. "

With tears in his eyes, Li Longji made an important appointment and handed over his personal seal to Fang Youde.

"Sage, you forgot to mention the word "temporary generation."

Fang Youde reminded in a low voice.

"What polite words are you talking to me about? Hurry up and lead your troops to kill all those rebels!

I will show no mercy today!Damn it, don't leave any! "

Li Longji said with murderous intent, making everyone present feel chilled.

Fortunately, I am on the right side. How miserable would it be if I were on the wrong side?I'm afraid the whole family will go on the road together!

Many people's backs were wet with cold sweat. In things like coups, victory and defeat are often instantaneous. Who can say that he is the final winner?

That's horrible!
Suddenly, Li Longji remembered something, pulled Fang Youde's sleeve and asked: "Why did Quanzhong lead the Jinwu Guards to rescue him? Weren't you in Yangzhou before?"

"After handling the matter in Yangzhou, the general rushed to Chang'an without stopping. He happened to encounter Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Zheng Shuqing in Baqiao, dispatching the Nanya Imperial Army to no avail. The general was eager to save him, so he had to make this last resort, which was an act of overstepping his authority. I command the Jinwu Guards to put down the rebellion, and I hope the saint will forgive me."

Fang Youde crossed his hands and saluted, and said in a clear voice.

"It's not a crime, it's not a crime. If you didn't lead the troops to rescue me, I still have to say what I would have done today. This time is really dangerous, dangerous!"

Li Longji said with some fear, not thinking about the details at all.

"Go on your errands quickly. After cleaning up this mess, I want to drink wine with you at the Huacalyxianghui Building for three days and three nights. We won't come back until we're drunk!"

Seeing that Fang Youde was still dazed, Brother Ji patted his arm and said.At this moment, he has completely forgotten what he was thinking in the Buddhist hall just now!
How is that possible if he is not the emperor!Unless he's dying!
For terminal cancer patients, it certainly doesn’t matter if they donate their life’s windfall.

However, once it is discovered that the diagnosis was misdiagnosed, will they still retain their thoughts when they first heard that they had a terminal illness?

The answer is obvious.Fang Youde led the Jinwu Guard army, protected Brother Ji, and headed towards the Longwu Army station.

……

The Shen family was a wealthy family in Wuxing in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they crossed the river and settled in the north.In the genealogy, those with the word "Guojiang" are the Shen family from the north, and those without the word "Guojiang" are the Shen family from Wuxing who did not go to the north.

Shen's father, Shen Yizhi, was the [-]th-generation grandson of Shen Rong, the Marquis of Haihun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His family's wealth was not affected by the change of political power, so it can be said that he had a profound foundation.

But, it’s better for the county magistrate to take charge now.

Even if Shen's arrogance is unparalleled, it is still far away and cannot quench the immediate thirst.And the one hundred Longwu soldiers led by Fang Chongyong had already arrived at the door of Shen Yizhi's house.Even if Shen invited the Heavenly Master to do some tricks on the spot, it would still be too late to overcome the catastrophe.

"Go and call the door. If you don't open the door, we will be punished for harboring rebels and we will rush in to arrest them."

Fang Chongyong said to a Long Wujun holding a halberd beside him.

There was a dull knocking sound from the thick copper ring on the red door, three times.

In just the blink of an eye, the door was opened.What came out was a middle-aged man wearing a red official robe. He was in his fifties and looked very elegant.

"Bring Shen Zhenzhu and her child out, we'll take them and leave."

Fang Chongyong said to the visitor calmly.

"Do you really want to kill them all? Why do you want to do this?"

The man who came out was Shen Yizhi. He shook his head and sighed, feeling very sad in his heart.

Li Shi was his grandson. He was only one year old and was about to be killed. How could he bear it?
"The saint would be very angry if he knew that you used other people's children to replace Li Shi.

I hope Shen Lizheng will not make mistakes. "

Shen Yizhi is Dali Zheng of Dali Temple, one of the senior officials of the imperial court, and Fang Chongyong does not want to break up with him easily.Just click here and there. It's better not to make those small calculations that don't make sense on the table.

But to be honest, Shen Yizhi did think of a drama about his grandson replacing his grandson, and tried to protect Li Shi!
And show it off at critical moments.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chongyong had already prepared his killing move without his little thought.

"The people of the Shen family will not do anything to deceive the emperor. They will not do it."

Shen Yi said directly, with a bitter smile on his face.He already understood that others had given him face. If Shen's people were ignorant of current affairs, the other party would not be as easy to talk to as now.

"It's best if it doesn't happen. Everyone in Li Heng's family will be examined by the saint soon to see if they have participated in the rebellion.

Shen is not completely ashore now, and is still struggling in the water.The sage did not say that Mr. Shen would not be held accountable in the future, so Mr. Shen should just take care of himself. "

Fang Chongyong threatened with a smile.

He wanted to be polite first and then fight. He didn't want Sergeant Longwu to go in and rummage through the cabinets to find someone.If the Shen family members are sensible, they should hand over Shen Zhenzhu to avoid making everyone look ugly.

Otherwise, when Qiu Ba and others go in to look for someone, they won't be as polite as they are now.

"What responsibility does Mr. Shen have?"

Shen Yizhi was unhappy when he heard Fang Chongyong's words.

It's good that his daughter is Shen Zhenzhu and the princess, but the Shen family didn't know anything about Li Heng's coup before. Now that Li Heng has been caught in rebellion, what responsibility does the Shen family have?

"Whether one has responsibility or not is not decided by a certain person, let alone Shen Lizheng, but what the saint says is what he says.

Is Mr. Shen dissatisfied?

Do you want to hand over the person yourself, or should we go in and search, or do you want to prevaricate that Shen Zhenzhu, a woman, didn't come here to escape? "

Fang Chongyong asked, patting the scabbard of the Swift Wind Phantom Knife on his waist, and then crossed his arms, waiting for Shen Yizhi's answer.

At this moment, his heart was harder than steel and colder than ice and snow.

With Fang Chongyong's ability, he had to go all out to protect those close to him, but how could he take care of unrelated people, even the children of his enemies?
Only the strong have the right to pity the weak!Not everyone is qualified to have mercy on others!
Especially those who are wallowing in the mud themselves!

"understood."

Shen Yi sighed. After a while, he brought out a young and beautiful woman with tears on her face and a sleeping child in her arms.

"Is it this one?"

Fang Chongyong asked a eunuch from the Li Heng family next to him.

"Yes, this is the one."

The young eunuch named Yu Chaoen pointed at Shen Zhenzhu and said.

"As for the children, please confirm."

Fang Chongyong said with a slight frown.

"Well, so do children. This is Li Shi."

Yu Chaoen said with certainty.

"Then I'll excuse you from Shen Lizheng. I'll take my leave now that I'm on official business."

Fang Chongyong saluted Shen Yi with folded hands. He ignored Shen Zhenzhu's sad eyes and gently waved his hand to wave the Longwu Army back to the Xuanwu Gate.

The net was closed, not a single fish escaped, and it was finally over.

I don’t know if Brother Ji is tired, but Fang Chongyong really feels so tired!

He sighed softly. During this time, he had deeply felt the cruelty of the political struggle in the Tang Dynasty.

Hanging around here for a long time will only breed old coins who are as deep as the sea but have nothing to offer.If there is an opportunity in the future, it is better to seek overseas employment.

Fang Chongyong secretly made up his mind to transfer out of Chang'an as soon as possible.

How can you often walk along the river without getting your shoes wet? Chang'an is really too dangerous.
