The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174: The Palace Incident

"Why didn't you think of this moment of regret when you brought the heavy cavalry, it was too late,"

Guo Nuan stretched out his hand to catch the void, he firmly grasped the bow and arrow thrown from behind, nocked the arrow and pulled the string, a series of movements were synthesized in one go, unstoppably carried out in Doma's terrified and dilated pupils with.

"For the sake of the dead servants of the Jingzhao Mansion, and for the sake of Brother Luo, you go to die," a sentence without sadness or joy sounded quietly, as if it was ringing the death bell of the countdown to life.

"Guo Nuan, you can't..." Doma tried to stop her trembling voice, but she didn't know how to speak.

An arrow with a strong cyclone was about to shoot away, pointing straight at Doma Chengliang's breastplate five meters away.

"Keep people under the arrow," a troop of galloping horses appeared in the empty and lonely street of Chang'an in the middle of the night, a familiar voice sounded, Guo Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and his hand trembled and lost his aim.

"Chirp," the bow and arrow shot out, and a large number of soldiers and horses of the Royal Forest Army appeared in the distance, among which the one galloping at the front was the most familiar general of Guo Nuan, Li Meng.

"Hey," half an hour ago, Li Meng, who was on the night shift in the palace, received an urgent order from his superior. He was very surprised when he learned that Jingzhao Yin's government office was attacked by Tubo cavalry. Nuan was deeply involved and even more anxious.

However, Li Meng, who rushed to stop the fight, was too late. From a distance, he saw the back wall of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen reduced to ruins, with hundreds of armed men fighting inside, and broken armor and knives everywhere on the ground. , as well as bloody horses and unknown people, the scene was a mess.

Li Meng led more than 1000 imperial guards and rushed to surround the scene. The remaining [-] or so Tubo heavy cavalry were concerned about the safety of their masters. Facing the large number of Tang troops, they surrendered and led them. Draw the end.

"Guo Nuan, you killed the Tubo princess," Li Meng jumped off his horse and walked towards Guo Nuan's back. He put his hand on Guo Nuan's trembling shoulder in disbelief.

"He's not dead," Guo Nuan said lightly, and he walked to the corner of the yard at a distance of more than [-] yards to the right like a walking corpse, and struggled to remove the corpse, he wanted to find Luo Yuan.

"Hey," Li Meng breathed a long sigh of relief. He bypassed Guo Nuan's blocked line of sight and saw the princess of Tubo who had fainted on the ground not far away. A plume arrow was inserted obliquely half a foot away from the head resting on the soil.

"It's good that Princess Tubo is fine, and things haven't gotten too bad to be saved,"

Li Meng let go of his hanging heart a little, and yelled "Keep people under the arrow" in the distance at that time, which woke Guo Nuan, otherwise Guo Nuan would really lose his mind and shoot and kill the Tubo princess regardless of the overall situation, causing a stir in Tubo. The all-out war with the Tang Dynasty caused countless lives to die. Even if he is the son-in-law of the eldest princess, it is difficult to save his own life.

"Tie up all the damned Tubo cavalry and hand them over to the palace, and quickly call the imperial physician to treat the wounded," Li Meng was distracted for a moment, then realized that there was still a very important finishing job to be done by himself, and then he ordered to the army he had brought .

When setting off from the palace, Li Meng followed Haogong's edict, and he specially brought seven or eight imperial physicians from the palace with them to carry medical supplies, which really came in handy.

On the stretcher, Luo Yuan, who was covered in gauze, closed his eyes tightly. Guo Nuan, whose heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, looked at the doctor shaking his head and sighing. He estimated that the injury was extremely serious. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he knew whether Luo Yuan could survive it. Tianming is a problem.

"According to the emperor's wishes, you should be wronged. I'm sorry, Brother Guo," Li Meng gently comforted Guo Nuan. Guo Nuan smiled bitterly and nodded. He was arrested by the Imperial Forest Army, and a group of yamen servants stayed in the Jingzhao Yamen Office to be imprisoned and listened to.

Yan Ruoshui sighed, she didn't expect that she would cause such a catastrophe when she sent someone to arrest Doma's Tibetan bodyguards to enforce the law impartially, now she really can't face the dead innocent colleagues, she bowed her head and shed tears for the first time .

"Yan Ruoshui, you did nothing wrong. Everything was caused by that savage Tubo woman. Don't blame yourself. If the emperor wants to investigate the responsibility after entering the palace, I, Guo Nuan, will bear it all."

Seeing how vulnerable Yan Ruoshui was, Guo Nuan couldn't help but empathize with Yan Ruoshui, who used to work with him in the past. Too many things really happened that night, so he patted Yan Ruoshui on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Lord Guo,"

A soldier of the imperial forest army saw the innocent compatriots who were ravaged and killed by the Tubo cavalry in the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion, and he couldn't help being filled with anger. The patriotism of the same hatred against the enemy was surging in his heart. The Guo Nuan concubine in front of him was undoubtedly a person he respected, not a prisoner he was guarding.

Mullioned windows, flower-carved windows, floor-to-ceiling pavilions and attics, Daizong caressed a pair of brocade murals on the wall of the palace that recorded history.

"Unfortunately, my Tang Dynasty's national power has declined, and it is really hateful to be bullied by foreign enemies. I have no face to pay homage to my dead ancestors."

Tan Ran sighed, Dongfang Tianfang forgives, after receiving the major event of the conflict between the Tubo envoys and the Jingzhao government that night, Daizong was completely sleepless.

A young eunuch hurriedly stepped into the deep and cold hall with candlelight flickering, and he respectfully knelt down to report to Emperor Daizong in plain nightgown:

"Your Majesty, Princess Shengping has an audience,"

"It seems that this matter is really too much trouble," Dai Zong stared at the golden lacquered and carved dragon pillars of the main hall in a daze, and he was very tired all of a sudden for the little eunuch's report.

"Let her in, after all, it is related to the safety of my husband," Daizong seemed to be talking to himself, but he ordered to the little eunuch.

"嗻,,,"

. . . .

Half an hour after the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen came out to report the news and asked for reinforcements, the news reached Princess Shengping’s mansion. It seems to have spread to the ears of most influential officials in the Chang'an political arena, and now it is only five o'clock before dawn, but countless ministers of the fifth rank rushed to the gate of the Great Hall of the Ming Palace and waited anxiously for a meeting emperor.

Before going to sleep, Princess Shengping, who had been waiting for Guo Nuan to return to the mansion, felt uneasy. Although Guo Nuan sent someone back to the mansion to report to the government office when they had a tea chat with Fifth Qi in Jingzhao Mansion, Shengping still seemed uneasy. Sure enough, something big happened in the middle of the night.

Bringing the Siyi official of the Princess Mansion and dozens of guards, Shengping hurriedly rode a carriage from the mansion in the suburbs to the palace in the city, passed through the Danfeng Gate, and passed through the Xuanwu Gate in the north, just in time to meet the carriage of his elder brother Prince Li Shi. Found a backbone to rely on.

Li Shi knew that his younger sister was worried about the safety of the son-in-law, so she made up her mind after politely comforting her. Shengping nodded decisively in agreement, and the crown prince split up with her. Hundreds of guards brought a large amount of treasures and treasures to the official residences in Chang'an, including more than 1 taels of gold, more than 50 taels of silver, more than 230 pieces of gold and silverware, more than ten precious poems and paintings, and more than 1000 jewelry and jade. In addition, there are more than [-] bolts of luxurious silk and satin in large quantities. In short, Princess Shengping has risked all her family resources. According to her elder brother's advice, she spent all her family property before dawn to curry favor with important officials in the court, especially Guo Nuan. Shengping even spent a lot of money on bribes with a lot of property. A series of intense tasks were completed more than two hours before the dawn of the incident. After Shengping was properly handled by the minister, she rushed to Daming without stopping. Late at night in the palace father's bedroom.

"Father, countless ministers who want to meet you are gathering outside the gate of the Palace of Political Affairs,"

Shengping rushed to Daizong's bedroom in a hurry, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, she forced herself to calmly enter the palace. At this moment, Daizong, who was facing her with his hands behind his back, said nothing. god.

"Father," Sheng Ping calmed down, and she asked again.

"You are here, Shengping," Daizong said lightly.

"Well, father, I hope you can take Guo Nuan lightly, after all...he belongs to your daughter..." Shengping hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"After all, he is the son-in-law, right?" Dai Zong continued with a wry smile, his words seemed extraordinarily cold in the lonely and empty hall, and he turned around slowly with blurred eyes, full of contradictions.

"Hey, the ministers who are about to smash the gate of the Palace of Political Affairs outside, the eighth floor is a good girl, you can buy it with a lot of money or by pleading."

Daizong watched his daughter Shengping grow up from a young age, so how could he not understand her character well? As long as she needs to protect someone or something, no matter how difficult it is, dangers and hardships, all available methods must achieve the goal, although Shengping's eldest daughter is A quiet and dignified person, who seems to be indifferent to the outside world, has a soft and gentle temperament, but his heart is undoubtedly extremely stubborn.

"Forget it, father is taking it lightly, try to suppress this matter as much as possible," Daizong leaned over to help Shengping who was kneeling.

"Thank you, father, for your kindness," a smile of incomparable joy burst out on her delicate face.

"However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Father, as the king of a country, has a conflict with the Tubo envoys this time. It is related to the fate of the two countries. An explanation is needed. Guo Nuan must be punished to a certain extent. Do you have any opinions?" Daizong's voice changed, and before Shengping was overjoyed, this sentence hit her heart hard again.

"Father, you... really want to punish the son-in-law," the astonishment in her eyes flashed away, and Shengping seemed a little flustered, as if she realized that this time the disaster was really serious.

"Well, wait for the news of the court meeting after dawn tomorrow, and Guo Nuan's punishment will be announced."

"Go back"

"Yes, Royal Father..."
