Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

wedge

In the darkness, the sound of footsteps near and far came one after another.The black tree shadow on the door has been shaking.

The sound of weapons colliding, the sound of swords piercing into guns, and the screams began to come bit by bit.

The person sitting in front of the case was motionless, like a stone statue.

Suddenly, flames and splashes of blood appeared at the door.A general in battle armor opened the door, his face reflected in the flames, twisted and hideous.He used the torch to reflect the face of the person in front of the case, like a piece of beautiful jade, handsome and gentle.But at this moment, he just looked at the person calmly.

"My dear king, hello!" The general pointed his knife at the sitting person, "Aren't you still surrendering?" His tone was extremely arrogant, and the followers behind him booed and cheered.

"You killed me." The sitting man just repeated this sentence.

The general became furious, stabbed him in the chest with a knife, and said sharply, "Please! Please!"

The man was stabbed, bleeding profusely, but said calmly: "You can kill me, but I won't beg you."

The general was completely enraged and picked up the man...

In the light of the fire, the booing turned into a wave of ridicule, and the general's laughter was like a wild animal.

And the compartment next to it opened a narrow door, and a pair of eyes looked at all this in horror...

Kyoto, inside Guanzheng Hall.

King Qi drooped his head and lowered his hands, like a frosted eggplant, bearing the roar from the people in the palace.

"Nonsense, it's nonsense! You majestic prince, you ran to such an occasion, and you refused to leave after a murder case. Do you want me to go to Lefang to collect your body?" This person is Li Shu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has made great achievements in battle, defeated Tubo, destroyed Gaochang, and settled Uighur. Now he is in his thirties, surrounded by dragon aura, and many people in the world are comparable to the former Emperor Taizong.

King Qi trembled.He has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not experienced any troubles. However, his civil and military skills are mediocre, so after Li Shu ascended the throne, he devoted himself to being an idle prince.Usually Li Shu didn't expect much from him, so he treated him leniently, and occasionally his play ideas were appreciated by Li Shu.

So King Qi boldly said: "Brother Huang, it's not the first time I've been there, I've been there for a few years..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shu's two knife-like gazes had already shot over, King Qi quickly shut up.

Li Shu sighed and said: "I know you like to have fun, so it's fine if you don't go out of your way. You stay in the Lefang every night in the capital on weekdays, and I didn't say anything about you. But this time, you brought a few soldiers with you." Going to Yangzhou, the murderer is the remnant of Gaochang, who is very close to you. If she wants to take revenge and kill you, do you have the strength to fight back?"

King Qi lowered his head and had no words to refute.

Li Shu paused, and said again: "I also heard that you spent thousands of taels of silver in order to support a maiko."

King Qi muttered in a low voice: "Isn't the third brother in charge of Yunshangfang? I'll give some money to the third brother to help his business prosper."

"You!" Li Shu panicked for a moment, looked at this worthless imperial brother, waved his hands and said, "Go back and think about your mistakes, you are not allowed to leave the palace for a month!"

"Yes, yes, I obey!" King Qi flew away as if he had been pardoned.

As soon as King Qi left, a 27-year-old prince turned out from the back of the hall, with a face like a jade crown, gentle manners, and a pair of phoenix eyes that looked particularly amiable.He was wearing a cyan-purple brocade robe, although there were no decorations, it was made of thick and luxurious material.

"Brother Huang, you don't need to get angry with the fifth brother." He smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.This person is Li Xu, the King of Yan, Prince Da Zhou, and Li Shu's younger brother.

Seeing that it was him, Li Shu relaxed, supported his forehead and said: "This matter is dangerous, Tang Jingxiao was really shocked when he reported it to me."

"Brother Huang, don't worry. Even though Dongfang is far away in Yangzhou, my younger brother will take care of me." Li Xu said.

Hearing that he mentioned Yunshangfang, Li Shu's face darkened and said: "I have always disapproved of you supporting Yunshangfang. After all, you are my right-hand man in the court. A person who loses the face of the royal family."

Li Xu was not in a hurry to refute, but quietly analyzed: "Brother Huang's foundation is not yet solid, and he often leads the conquests personally. The hearts of all officials in the world must be guarded against. But it is hard to guarantee that some people will be nostalgic and wait for the opportunity. The younger brother's Yunshangfang is just to help the emperor monitor one or two of the world's officials and even the martial arts. Turn around and explain to the fifth younger brother to ensure that he will not mess around again. "

Li Shudao: "This time the incident is a bit out of line. If the Dongdu Pavilion does not take over this matter and the Yangzhou Mansion picks it up, I don't know how it will end."

Li Xu hurriedly made amends and said: "My brother knows his mistake, he has already changed the owner of Xifang. It is my brother's lack of control, improper selection of candidates, and let the remnants of Siamism sneak into Yunshangfang."

Li Shu sighed and said: "Back then, I defeated Gaochang in one fell swoop and exterminated the people of Gaochang because of the Siam religion. I was reckless."

Li Xu said: "What's wrong with the emperor? The Siam religion is a sorcery, and it should be eradicated."

Li Shu said: "Ten years have passed, that's all. You tell the Ministry of Punishments that the Siamists should be shot or killed. If anyone is found with the holy fire mark, they should be secretly arrested and interrogated. If there is no abnormality, let them live."

"Brother Huang..." Li Xu seemed to want to persuade, but Li Shu waved his hand.

Seeing that it was hard to explain, Li Xu thought of another thing and said, "Brother Emperor, Tang Jingxiao, we still have to be on guard."

"Oh?" Li Shu looked at Li Xu and said, "I and Jing Xiao are friends on the battlefield, and he married the Queen's sister. If Jing Xiao hadn't gone to deal with the aftermath of this matter, I wouldn't be at ease."

Li Xudao: "Brother Huang, after all, he was originally from the Tiance Mansion, his father Tang You... and his righteous brother, Tang Yue who is in charge of the Dongdu Pavilion, and his younger brother is not at ease. Although the Dongdu Pavilion is not It is an imperial court organization in the open, but it looks after the martial arts, and the power of the martial arts cannot be underestimated. Tiance was quite prestigious in the martial arts back then."

Li Shu smiled and said: "If Tiance can do it, so can Shence. Half of the lieutenants in the Shence Army are reorganized from the original Tiance Army. Jing Xiao is the original Tiance Major General. There is Jing Xiao Now, I'm at ease."

Li Xudao: "That's why we have to guard against it. In the past, the Emperor's Vermilion Bird Army completely obeyed the Emperor's orders. Now, although the number of the Shence Army has doubled after reorganization, and its combat power has also increased a lot, many of them are I only recognize Tang Jingxiao and not Brother Huang."

Li Shu stopped and said: "Don't talk anymore. Third brother, you have never been on the battlefield, and you don't understand the friendship between me and Jing Xiao. If he had a different intention, he would not have given up five years ago with the infamy of his life. His father has come to follow me. You can save the calculations in the court to deal with the civil servants. My generals, trust is faith. As for Tang Yue, since he was recognized by Jing Xiao as his righteous brother and someone he trusted, I will use it with confidence. You don't need to say more."

Li Xu couldn't help it, so he recovered his gentle smile and said: "What the emperor said is that the younger brother will go to rectify Yunshangfang. The younger brother will leave."

The prince of the Great Wednesday, Li Xu, is also called the prince of the prime minister by the world.
