The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 25 Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin
The East Palace is the residence of the prince, and there is an endless stream of ministers and celebrities on weekdays.

But now, the huge East Palace is deserted.

After Li Shimin launched a mutiny and took charge of the imperial city, he wiped out the East Palace with blood.

Except for the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin and her daughters, the rest of the people, whether they were the crown prince or the palace maids and eunuchs, were all executed.

The crown prince's position is now up in the air.

On the contrary, Li Chengdao got the crown prince position as Taisun.

Therefore, Li Shimin did not enter the East Palace for the time being, but used it as a cage to imprison the crown princess.

In a pavilion in the East Palace.

Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin, who was dressed in palace attire and full of nobility, leaned on the railing, holding her young daughter in her arms, looking at the outside of the palace with dull eyes.

She was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.

Grandfather Zheng Chen was the chief historian of Situ Prefecture in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the official admonishment officer, the prefect of Yingchuan, and the Duke of Wushan County.

His father, Zheng Jibo, was Dazhongzheng of Yuzhou in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Duke of Wushan County, Yitong Sansi of Kaifu in the Sui Dynasty, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and governor of Kuozhou. He was posthumously awarded the title of Governor of Tanzhou.

Her husband, Li Jiancheng, was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.She is in her youth, extremely wealthy and prosperous, and is very close to her mother's position as the empress of the world.

It can be said that both the mother's family and the husband's family are extremely noble.

However, Li Shimin suddenly launched the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion and killed Li Jiancheng and his disciples.

Overnight, Zheng Guanyin encountered great changes.

If the husband dies and the son dies, the family will be wiped out.

She went from being a high-ranking princess to now being a prisoner.

"Mom, will the second brother come to pick us up?"

Zheng Guanyin's second daughter, four-year-old Li Wanshun, hugged her mother's neck and asked in a sweet voice.

Zheng Guanyin gently stroked her daughter's head and said softly:
"Yes, Chengdao will definitely do it."

Li Jiancheng died and his sons were all killed.

Now Li Chengdao has become his only hope to not become a walking zombie and to continue to live strong.

But even she didn't expect Li Chengdao, who usually stayed out of sight and just studied in the house.

He actually acted so bravely, not only breaking out of the Xuanwu Sect, but also massacred the Tiance Mansion, forcing Li Shimin to finally compromise and leave Chang'an safely.

"Crown Princess, Sir Wei, please see me."

Suddenly, a maid sent by Li Shimin came to the pavilion to report.

Although she was monitoring Zheng Guanyin, even though Zheng Guanyin's current title as Crown Princess was not worthy of her name.

However, these surveillance maids still spoke respectfully and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After all, no matter how miserable the princess is, it is not something that a little palace maid like her can offend.

"Master Wei, please come over."

Zheng Guanyin's voice is very soft and pleasant.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came to the pavilion.

"Wei Zheng, I have met the Crown Princess." After the greeting, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I have followed your instructions and written a letter to the Zheng family in Xingyang.

If the contents of the letter were not enough, they were all intercepted by the King of Qin. "

Zheng Guanyin nodded lightly, "If it weren't for the rules and face, Li Shimin wouldn't even let Mr. Wei, a subordinate of the East Palace, come to see me.

It did not matter that the contents of the letter were known to him. "

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "It's because of the incompetence of the lower officials. If I could have persuaded His Highness to listen to my advice, how could I have ended up like this?" Long before Li Shimin planned the Xuanwumen mutiny, Wei Zheng had seen the interests between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. The conflict has become irreconcilable.

Li Jiancheng was repeatedly advised to take a preemptive strike.

But Li Jiancheng did not adopt his suggestion.

Seeing Zheng Guanyin's face darken, Wei Zheng said quickly: "But His Highness Taisun is brave and resourceful. After leaving Chang'an, he went all the way south to Xingyang.

With the help of your maternal clan, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the empress, His Highness Taisun will return to Chang'an sooner or later. "

Hearing this, Zheng Guanyin's face looked a little better.

She forced a smile and said: "The rebels are powerful now. In the future, if we can take over the throne, we will need a lot of help from Mr. Wei."

Wei Zheng held his hands solemnly, "There is no need for your Majesty to remind you, this is what Wei Zheng should do."

The two talked for a long time in the pavilion, and a palace maid not far away recorded their conversation verbatim.

The reason why Li Shimin allowed Wei Zheng and even some East Palace staff to meet with Zheng Guanyin was because, apart from the fact that his current status was not suitable to stop him, he was also monitoring the plans of the East Palace staff.

Every move of the other party is under his control.He is able to see every move and deal with it calmly.

……

Kaifeng, Xingyang, the residence of the Zheng family.

"Let His Highness lead troops to Youzhou to guard against the Turks?!"

After Zheng Yuanzhou read the imperial edict in his hand, his face suddenly became very ugly and he said angrily:
"Li Shimin deceived others too much!

Father, how can this be His Majesty’s decree? This is clearly an imperial decree falsely conveyed by Li Shimin!

He obviously does not want His Highness to stay in Xingyang, and is worried that His Highness will continue to develop and strengthen his own power in Xingyang! "

Youzhou is remote and bitterly cold, and Youzhou's guard Wang Junlang is a direct descendant of Li Shimin.

His Highness only has [-] soldiers and horses at his disposal. If he goes to Youzhou, wouldn't he be at the mercy of Li Shimin?

No matter what, His Highness must not go to Youzhou. "

Zheng Jibo, the head of the Zheng family, sighed and said quietly: "Why don't you know the plan behind Li Shimin?

No matter this imperial edict is His Majesty's intention, or it is Li Shimin's intention.

But the decree is the decree.

As long as it is released, it is His Majesty's will.

If Your Highness does not go to Youzhou, it will be disrespectful and disobedient.

Li Shimin was even more happy to see this result.

He now controls the court and directly deprives His Highness of his status as grandson in the name of resisting the decree.

Then it spread to the world that His Highness was greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to go to the border to defend against foreign enemies.

At this moment, His Highness not only lost his title as Crown Prince, but his personal reputation was also ruined.

What else can we use to compete with him, Li Shimin, for the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future?

This strategy is indeed clever and insidious.

I guess it was the plan of Changsun Wuji, the son of Changsun Sheng. "

Zheng Yuanzhou gritted his teeth and said: "It's not the case for Your Highness to go to Youzhou, it's even less the case if you don't go to Youzhou. So how should we deal with it?"

Zheng Jibo said: "This is a conspiracy and it is difficult to break it. First invite His Highness, and we will hear what His Highness means."
