Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 79

Empress Wu and Wu Weiliang brothers are cousins, and have the same grandfather, so they are very close by blood, but they are almost as enemies. The reason for this is a long story. One of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of first-class Ying Guogong, and had a close personal relationship with Gaozu Li Yuan. In the sixth year of Wude, the samurai Yu's original spouse died of illness. After Gaozu Li Yuan personally acted as a matchmaker, he married Yang as his second wife and had three daughters. It was Empress Wu. After the Xuanwumen Incident, the warrior who stood in the wrong team was expelled from the court, and finally died in the ninth year of Zhenguan as the governor of Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, instead of reaching out to help, Wu Weiliang and the two half-brothers of Empress Wu bullied the widowed mother and daughter, especially Empress Wu, who was the most beautiful. Outsiders say, because of this, Empress Wu never forgave these brothers, saying that she wished to get rid of them soon, but it’s just that the time has not come, so I have to bear it in my heart. Now, the great opportunity for revenge is here In front of him, Empress Wu would not let it go easily.

"Okay, very good, your pure filial piety is in that bowl of tofu, I have to thank you very much." Empress Wu coldly stared at the Wu family brothers who kept begging and crying. After a long silence, this Only then did he speak almost word for word, his tone full of undisguised killing intent.

"Ah, no, no, empress empress, I swear to the heavens, the poison is definitely not my servant's, empress, I am wronged, my empress..." Wu Weiliang, who was crying non-stop, heard Empress Wu's words The smell was not right, and I became anxious immediately, walked a few steps on my knees, and leaned towards Empress Wu, swearing nervously, with snot and tears all over my face.

"The Habayashi army obeys orders, take down these two rebellious and rebellious people, and cut them off!" Empress Wu didn't give Wu Weiliang a chance to approach at all, let alone listen to his excuses. With a sound.

"promise!"

As soon as Empress Wu issued an edict, the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who were waiting at the side did not dare to be negligent, and when they promised loudly, several soldiers rushed forward, regardless of whether they wanted to take down the Wu family brothers.

"You are wronged, my lord, I am wronged..." Wu Weiliang was so frightened that he peed his pants, shouting his injustice desperately, his voice hoarse, but all the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army ignored him and dragged Then he set it up in the lobby, but Wu Huaiyun was a little bit more courageous, seeing that he could not escape the catastrophe, relying on his good martial arts skills, while desperately resisting the capture of the soldiers of the Habayashi Army, he straightened his neck and yelled: "Someone You are a member of the imperial court, and you dare to kill the minister without trial, this is treason, treason!"

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can get him and punish him, what are you still doing, take it down, drag it out, chop it up!"

Under Wu Huaiyun's yelling, several officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who went to fetch the person really shrank. Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, Wu Hou's face darkened, and he gave a merciless drink. Angry, the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army did not dare to keep their hands. Everyone shouted and went all out, and instantly overturned Wu Huaiyun to the ground, stood up, and dragged him out of the lobby.

"Fucking man, you tragic incest person, you will die badly, die badly, why didn't I kill you back then, you bastard." Also being crushed to the ground by the soldiers of the Habayashi Army, Wu Weiliang only He would cry and beg for mercy, but Wu Huaiyun scolded him without hesitation. His words were extremely unpleasant, but unfortunately he couldn't swear a few words, but he saw a soldier of the Habayashi Army slamming his sword violently, and a flash of light flashed across the sword , the screams stopped abruptly, but Wu Huaiyun's head suddenly rolled to the ground, a stream of dirty blood shot up from the cut in the neck, and fell to the ground again, covering the ground with blood. The thin layer of snow was dyed mottled and dazzling.

"Ah, second brother, second brother, ah..."

Seeing the tragic death of his second brother on the spot, Wu Weiliang was startled, but he did not know where his strength came from. He forcibly broke free from the restraints of two soldiers of the Habayashi Army, jumped up, and frantically wanted to throw himself at Wu Huaiyun's body. In the past, it was a pity that this was just an extravagant hope. Before he could make any further moves, a soldier of the Habayashi Army who was quick to see the opportunity unceremoniously swung his knife and chopped Wu Weiliang in half.

Cutting in half is one of the biggest tortures, second only to Ling Chi. Although the person who is cut is bound to die, he cannot die for a while. He can only bear the severe physical and psychological pain alive. Miserable, it is really inhumane, the unlucky Wu Weiliang suffered such a knife by accident, his body was cut into two parts, his lower body remained motionless, his upper body rolled and turned sideways in the snow, and the screams resounded through the night sky. Everyone was terrified. Even Li Xian, a courageous person, had a sudden change in expression. As for Li Xian, it was even worse. His face was pale, and his legs and feet were trembling. Not only was Empress Wu not surprised, but the originally tense face was shining with a light of relief.

"Oh my god..."

"Husband, ah, husband..."

"Daddy, daddy..."

The status of those who came to the banquet today is too noble. Among the Wu family, except for Wu Weiliang who can accompany in the lobby because of his status as the master, the rest are not even qualified to be near the lobby, even Wu Youning, Wu You cum When the Wu family's adult children, at most, they can only accompany the officials to have a banquet. As for the wives and concubines, they can only show their faces at the initial pick-up ceremony, and they can only stay in the backyard at other times , when the incidents happened in the lobby, the young and old Wu family arrived very quickly, but they were all stopped by the Habayashi Army at a distance, and they were not close to the lobby at all, so they couldn't figure out what happened in the lobby. The emperor left in a hurry, and only then did the young and old members of the Wu family realize that something was wrong. While discussing privately, they were still lucky, but they didn't expect that Wu Weiliang and his brothers would die on the spot as soon as the emperor left. The officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who were shouting and maintaining vigilance shoved and shoved, and the scene immediately showed some signs of getting out of control.

"Mother, it's dark at night, so we must guard against any changes. My son begs my mother to return to the palace as soon as possible." Although Li Xian knew that the brothers of the Wu family would surely die, he was still taken aback by the tragic situation of Wu Weiliang's beheading. Seeing that the young and old of the Wu family showed signs of conflict, they hurriedly stood up from the side regardless of emotion and panic, bowed to Empress Wu, and hurriedly offered suggestions.

"There is a change? I would like to see this change and how it will be changed. Don't panic, everything can't be messed up with your own mother!" Empress Wu was obviously still immersed in the pleasure of revenge, and didn't care about the outsiders at all. Confused, he didn't hear the hint hidden in Li Xian's words, he just raised the corner of his mouth in disdain and snorted coldly.

Panic?I don't need to panic, you don't kill too many people, cut!Although Li Xian saw killing for the first time in this life, he was used to seeing such scenes in his previous life, but he was startled by Wu Weiliang's slashing in half at the beginning, and he soon recovered his calm. There was panic on his face, it was just a plan to go along with the current, to see if he could confuse Empress Wu to cut grass and root out the root, and at this moment, seeing Empress Wu was only interested in enjoying the pleasure of revenge, but he didn't hear the subtext in his words , really helpless, but I don't want to let off the disciples of Wuwu, the problem is that some words can't be said too clearly, so Li Xian had no choice but to bow and reply: "The queen mother is holy, with the queen mother, the child is not afraid Panic, it's just..."

"Huh? Xian'er has some concerns, but it's okay." Seeing Li Xian's hesitating speech, Empress Wu quickly flashed a look of surprise on her face, and asked in a slightly slower tone.

"If you go back to your mother, what happened tonight is strange, and there are many doubts in it. The third case has not been tried, and the person is dead. If someone who is not open-minded complains about him, he may be suspected of misleading the world. Therefore, the child thinks that the mother is the queen. It is not appropriate to stay here for too long, if the mother can trust the child, how about letting the child deal with it here?" Li Xian had already prepared a draft, so he was not in a hurry, so he moved to Empress Wu and reported in a low voice.

"Oh? Xian'er has a heart, and my mother is very pleased, and I don't know what Xian'er plans to do, so let's listen to my mother." Empress Wu dared to kill Wu Weiliang brothers on the spot, naturally there was a reason to explain it to the outside world. However, those so-called reasons may not be able to stop the people in the world. Even if Empress Wu doesn't care much about those random discussions, if she can avoid them, Empress Wu will not want to embrace them. Li Xian volunteered, but he was moved by it, but he didn't express his position in a hurry, but continued to ask.

"My mother learned that the child thought that although the person was dead, the case had to be dealt with. It seemed that such a big case of treason was not something to be taken lightly. After all, it had to be settled sooner rather than later. The witnesses and physical evidences must be the final decision." The whole matter is complicated and difficult, and the child couldn't bear the exhaustion of the mother, so he volunteered to do it, and begged for the mother's permission." Li Xian said frankly, as if he was completely concerned about Empress Wu's Qingyu.

"Mother, my son is also willing to take on this important task with my seventh brother. I implore the mother's permission." Li Xian, who had been trembling by the side, also came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly followed Li Xian's previous explanation, and hurried He stood up and bowed to ask for his life.

"Oh?"

The purpose of Empress Wu's layout this time is to kill three birds with one stone. Now the mother and daughter of He Lanminyue, who threatened her the most, and the brothers of the Wu family who made her hate the most have all died. It can be said that the two most important goals have been achieved. This case taught the Li Xian brothers the third goal. Due to Li Xian's vigilance, it was obviously impossible to achieve it. In my heart, I was on guard against the Li Xian brothers who would make a fuss about the Wu Weiliang brothers being killed in a hurry. Competing to take care of the aftermath, how can it be possible not to be suspicious? The problem is that the suggestions of Li Xian and the brothers are not unreasonable. Empress Wu couldn't make a clear statement for a while, so she said softly, He frowned and thought about it.
