Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Bang!

Li Chengqian raised his foot high and kicked directly on Du He's chest. Du He took two steps back and squatted on the ground in pain.

Guo Ye frowned immediately when he saw it, he couldn't bear it, and thought to himself, brother, you have suffered.But don't worry, as soon as this matter is over, the second brother will send you to the Xichuan Army, so you won't be offended by this perverted thing.

As he spoke, he greeted Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin lightly, and slipped out of Wei Palace without a sound.

At this time, Li Chengqian seemed to be still angry, and wanted to step forward and kick Du He's feet again to feel comfortable.

But Zhao Jie grabbed Li Chengqian's arm and shouted: "His Royal Highness, please calm down, let's spare his life for now, the business is important. After finishing this matter, throw this thing that is not enough to succeed but is more than ruined out of the Crown Prince." house."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jie curled his lips and looked at Du He with disgust and contempt.

Li Tai, who was kneeling on the ground, heard that Jin Chengze, whose alias was Yang Yong, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. He could not help but smile slyly, and he shouted in his heart that he was glad that as long as Yang Yong died, the words he had talked to him before would never be the same again. Two people know.Then even if he was in front of his father, he would not be afraid of accidents.

However, Li Chengqian noticed the smile at the corner of his mouth. Li Chengqian mistook Li Tai for laughing at him, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Li Tai, don't be complacent. Even if Yang Yong is dead, you are charged with harboring the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty in the Wei Palace. , you don’t want to run away. Hmph, I will naturally state everything in front of the father, so that the father can punish you for a serious crime, and see if you dare to compete with the prince for everything in the future? "

As he said that, he suddenly remembered that even though Yang Yong was dead, that dead person could also be used as evidence. Immediately, he turned impatiently and shouted at Du He: "Du He, why are you still squatting on the ground? Are you pretending to be dead? Go, hurry up!" Salvage Yang Yong's body to the crown prince, and then, together with Li Tai, escort him into the palace to meet the emperor."

Bass~

Du He suddenly stood up from the ground, but he didn't rush to the other garden, but stood still, and slowly eased the scabbard around his waist, then put the saber in his hand into the sheath, thinking in his heart, since the second brother's mission has been completed It's done, so why should I stay here and get angry?

bang~

Du He violently threw the saber in its sheath on the ground, pulled up the armor and threw it on the ground fiercely, spat on the ground, and spat: "Prince, Du is the hereditary Duke of Lai who was appointed by the emperor. , I’ll tell you today, I’m quitting this soldier brigade commander, whoever loves to do it, you can find someone!”

After finishing speaking, he turned around gracefully and ran out of Prince Wei's mansion without looking back.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing this, Li Tai gloated immediately, knelt on the ground and was tied up. Although he couldn't move, he was able to raise his neck and laugh loudly. He taunted Li Chengqian and said, "Prince, prince, look at how popular you are! Rotten, hahaha, deserve it, deserve it!"

Chapter 866 His Majesty Li Er's Reaction

Du He turned his face on the spot and made Li Tai ridiculed him. Li Chengqian was naturally angry and hated not to come down, so he lost face for a while.

However, he still remembered that the important thing was the most important, and he didn't get mad on the spot, nor did he fall into Li Tai's aggressive tactics. Instead, he patiently let Mr. Rabbit Zhao Jie take someone to salvage Yang Yong's body himself.

Soon, Zhao Jie successfully salvaged Yang Yong's body from the well in Bieyuan, and returned to Li Chengqian.

Looking at the dead body of Yang Yong on the ground, Li Chengqian's hatred for Du He intensified a bit, and he secretly vowed that he would make Du He look good after he got the merits from the palace.

And Li Tai looked at Yang Yong who was drowned lying on the ground in the well, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief again, and once again shouted a few times for luck.

Finally, Li Chengqian waved his hand and shouted at Zhao Jie: "Beauty... no, Zhao Jie, you bring a few sons into the palace with the prince, and escort Li Tai and the corpse of Yang Yong, the remnant of the former Sui Dynasty." In front of my father, hum, today is not only the day when Li Tai falls out of favor, but also the day when this crown prince regains his father's favor. Of course, it's also thanks to your contribution, Zhao Jie."

Zhao Jie was very happy, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and today Du He resigned from the post of personal guard brigade commander, he could already imagine that after leaving the palace and returning to the Prince's Mansion, it would be Zhao Jie who successfully took over the Sixth Commander of the Prince's Mansion When guarding the brigade commander.

As for the Crown Princess Su Zixuan, hehe, he had secretly thought of dozens of ways to torture and humiliate this bitch.

All of a sudden, his heart became excited, and his whole spirit was shaken. He imitated Li Chengqian's waving and screaming, and shouted: "Boys, follow His Royal Highness into the palace to offer prisoners and prisoners to receive rewards!"

shhhhh~

This time, Li Chengqian and Zhao Jie took the lead, and a group of soldiers from the prince's mansion escorted Li Tai, who was tied up in a big way, and carried Yang Yong's body, out of Wei Wang's mansion, towards the palace gate.

……

……

Palace, Nectar Palace.

His Majesty Li Er was fully aware of what happened in Wei Palace after listening to the report of a Yulin Army Colonel wearing a white feather helmet.

After the lieutenant of the Yulin Military Academy retired, Yu Deshui, the doctor in charge of the Yushitai, also asked to see him at the right time. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand and reported to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, someone anonymously submitted a letter to the Yushitai. The pleading states that Lu Chengqing, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, has been in contact with the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty. The pleading mentions that Yang Yong, the former prince of the Sui Dynasty, is still alive and has been hiding in Lu Shilang's mansion in Chang'an. I don't dare to be arbitrary, and I don't dare to make a statement, in order to be cautious, I went to the palace to report this matter to the emperor."

As he spoke, Yu De sailor held the paper and presented it to His Majesty Li Er, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at the emperor.

Although Yu Deshui was calm and upright when he spoke, there was more than shock in his heart. This pleading paper was not submitted anonymously, but from his brother-in-law Huang Ao.

Moreover, he knew that the person who instructed his brother-in-law Huang Ao to report and expose Lu Chengqing was Yizhou Hou Guoye.

Yu Deshui didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, because the word "Qian Sui" has always been a big taboo, and in any case involving the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, which time didn't blood flow into rivers and corpses litter the field?But he couldn't resist his brother-in-law Huang Ao's request, and thinking of Guo Ye's kindness that day, he finally bit the bullet and followed up with this report letter.

But he knew that this matter must be handled in a low-key and concealed manner, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar, especially when not only a prince from the former Sui Dynasty was involved, but also King Wei Li Tai, His Majesty's favorite prince, was involved.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he received this letter of report was to rush into the palace to report to His Majesty Li Er and let His Majesty Li Er handle it personally. Everyone knows.

Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er did not open the report letter handed over by Tai Deshui, but praised in a satisfied tone: "Master Yu understands the general situation and considers the overall situation, and I am very pleased to know my thoughts. Yes. , You didn't expand this matter, which shows that you understand my heart. Oh, evil, it's a pity that I gave birth to two bastards and unworthy sons. I wish everyone in the world knew about it. Don't they know that if Yang Yong lives in the world, it will cause trouble in the government and the opposition? Do all the former Sui officials and elders care about the old master? Yu Qing, you have handled this matter quite well, but there is no need to prove conclusive evidence for Lu Chengqing, and there is no need for three joint trials. An oral order..."

Hearing this, Yu Deshui was already secretly rejoicing. He didn't expect to be praised by His Majesty for returning Guo Ye's kindness. What an unexpected blessing.Fortunately, we are old and smart, and did not make a fuss about the matter in this report letter, but directly reported it to His Majesty.

He is lucky here, but His Majesty Li Er has already decreed: "Yu Qing, I will give you an oral order, you go to Qin Qiong and ask him to dispatch five hundred thousand cattle guards from the palace to Lu Chengqing's mansion, and Lu Chengqing will not change his expression." Take it down."

Qianniuwei?

This is the palace guard who directly obeys the emperor's orders, is the elite of the imperial guards, and is directly loyal to the emperor himself.

After Yu Deshui memorized His Majesty Li Er's words, he did not forget to ask: "Your Majesty, after Lu Chengqing is detained, where will he be imprisoned? Is it the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or the prison of Dali Temple? It stands to reason that a person with the status of Lu Shilang An important minister of the imperial court should be imprisoned in the sky prison of Dali Temple."

"Imprisoned?"

His Majesty Li Er's brows showed a stern look, and he said coldly: "How can I keep this kind of person alive? You tell Qin Qiong that after taking Lu Chengqing, there is no need to be imprisoned, and he will be executed on the spot. As for the Lu family, everyone will be imprisoned. Not one left!"

"what?"

Yu Deshui's palms and back were covered with cold sweat, and he asked with some horror: "The emperor means that Lu's house is full of families, all... all of them?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded gloomyly, and roared in a low voice: "The matter of Yang Yong must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause an uproar. Therefore, I must kill the grass and root out the roots, and all people in the Lu family will be executed."

"Minister, I obey the order!"

Feeling the decisiveness of His Majesty Li Er's words, Yu Deshui felt uncomfortable staying in the Ganlu Hall for a while, and then turned around to carry out the oracle.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the hall, His Majesty Li Er suddenly explained again: "Yu Qing, this matter must be done in secret, and it is not appropriate to make a fuss. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, I understand!"

Yu Deshui stopped and turned around, and after a respectful reply, he rushed out of the Ganlu Hall.

As soon as Yu Deshui left, His Majesty Li Er still had a gloomy face, and a hostility lingered in his chest, which lingered for a long time.

After about a while, he suddenly shouted towards the bead curtain in the direction of the bedroom in the palace: "Queen, did you hear it? These are the two good sons you gave me."

After the voice fell, the soft voice of Empress Changsun actually came from inside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, all the courtiers and concubines heard the reports of the captain of the Yulin Army and Mr. Yu Deshuiyu, and the courtiers and concubines really heard the report. Alas, Cheng The quarrel between Gan and Tai'er this time is really outrageous, and it makes me, a mother, very sad."

Empress Changsun is such a smart woman. When she heard that her husband did not call her Guanyin maidservant, but directly called her empress, she obviously guessed the anger in her husband's heart. How could she dare to intercede for her two sons at this time.
