Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred twenty-five truths
Since Li Hong supervised the country, the court meeting has been changed to only once every seven days, but this does not affect the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court. Every day when they pass the square in front of the Xuanzheng Hall and go to their government office, they can naturally see Two small piles of dark shadows stood in the cold wind.
According to the night-watching Jin Wuwei, the Xuanzhengdian Square on the first night was mixed with screams and crying amid the roar of the cold wind, which made the scalp numb and the back chilled. It even makes people feel gusts of wind and wind, like being in a **** full of ghosts.
But in the second half of the night, as the cold northwest wind became stronger and stronger, it gradually covered up the screaming scream, or maybe it was because the two of them had no energy to shout, so in the second half of the night, it became The sound of weeping like sobbing, in this way, made the square of Xuanzheng Hall even more like a lonely soul walking in the wind.
So when Baiguan went to his government office on the second day, and peeped anxiously at the two motionless heads, no one believed that the two people who had been ravaged by the cold night would still survive. Come down.
But from time to time, when the warm sun was high in the sky and the cold north wind gradually died down, from time to time, there were faintly miserable crying in Baiguan’s ears. In my ears, I can't help but feel chills in my heart, and my legs trembled.
Three days, three full days later, when the two black and dusty squares in front of the Hall of Chang Xuanzheng were accustomed to hundreds of officials, and it was almost unclear whether they were earth **** or heads, there was a sudden rush in the square. Footsteps.
All the officials wanted to be surprised at the same time in their hearts. When they wanted to open the windows and look out, they were stopped by the Kim Goe who did not know when they appeared outside.
All the officials from the three provinces and six ministries stayed in their government offices, and no one knew what was going on outside.
Just waiting for them to walk on the wide square when the sun is about to go down and after dealing with government affairs for a day and prepare to go home. When their eyes secretly glanced over there, they saw that their familiar head disappeared. The place was replaced with two thin-arm trees and planted there.
No one knows whether Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi are dead or alive, and no one knows whether the dead bodies of two people are buried under the two trees that suddenly appeared on the empty Xuanzhengdian square. Fertilizer for trees.
But the more such a result that there is no definite answer, the more it can make the officials in the DPRK uneasy, and the more it can serve as a warning.
People tend to be afraid of the unknown, but what's more terrifying is that people will think of the outcome of things more harshly and mysteriously before getting a definite answer. Even after adding his own wild imagination, coupled with secret discussions between each other, the result will become more and more terrifying.
So on the next day, many courtiers asked for leave. The reason was simple. I had nightmares at night and had three surprises. After being overwhelmed, I haven't recovered.
As for all the officials who did not come to the court, naturally they didn’t have to wait for Li Hong’s instructions and they were remembered by the Huangmen servants. In Li Hong’s opinion, if they were not mentally weak, they would be embarrassed. A flatterer.
So this list soon came into Li Hong's hands, and even Li Zhi and Wu Mei in the Zichen Hall had such a list in their hands.
Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, who have been buried in the ground and frozen for three days, are naturally unable to resist the cold winter. The northwest wind is like a knife. They have already hurried away on the second night. Killed the two of them.
It’s just that because of His Royal Highness’s order that no matter whether people are dead or alive, they must be buried for three full days. So on the third day, after King Wuwei controlled the entire government office of Xuanzheng Hall, he prohibited them from peeping. The two upright and stiff corpses were quickly loaded into the carriage and returned to their respective families.
Faced with the two undamaged corpses, the family still cried bitterly. While lying on the corpses and crying, they thanked His Royal Highness for his grace.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all graces, and in this era, it is naturally manifested incisively and vividly. Even if a person is dead, as long as the corpse is intact, in the eyes of the family, the royal family is already very kind to them.
However, this result was deliberately concealed by Li Hong. Except for Jin Wuwei who participated in the day and the limited palace people who saw the result, no one could clearly see what happened on this day, in just a quarter of an hour. thing.
Lian Li Zhi and Wu Mei, although they were always paying attention to every move in front of Xuanzheng Hall during those two days, in their eyes, the truth was quickly hidden by Jin Wuwei. Then he came up with an ambiguous result that people can imagine at will.
"Return to Your Majesty and Queen. Nowadays, there are a lot of reports. The King Wuwei was transferred away by His Royal Highness that day, and even those palace members were from the East Palace of His Royal Highness." Wang Loubi respected the face. Curious about Li Zhi and Wu Mei, said carefully.
Because that day, due to his small negligence, both he and Hwaji also missed the real truth.
"In this way, those so-called Jinwuwei, I am afraid that it is not Jinwuwei, I am afraid that it is Li Hong’s Central Army, pretending to be Jinwuwei, there is no need to send people to investigate this matter, obviously Li Hong I don't want a clear result on the court." Wu Mei lazily stopped, and Li Zhi motioned to Jin Wuwei to find out the truth.
"Will it really be chopped up by Li Hong and buried under those two trees?" Li Zhi looked a little dissatisfied, although this Daming Palace is still the previous Taiji Palace, there are countless dead people , But if there are two dead people buried in the square in front of Xuanzheng Hall, is it a bit too bad, too violent with the royal majesty?
Wu Mei was thinking about Li Hong’s intentions, listening to Li Zhi’s words in her ear, she involuntarily gave him a blank look, and continued to lazily said: "He only has a quarter of an hour. He wants to chop people up. People dig it up, and then chop it up and then clean the blood. Is this quarter of an hour enough?"
"Then it is possible that it was chopped into several large pieces and buried under a tree, because according to the information that Huaji Duofang inquired about, when the officials came home that day, they could smell blood from time to time. "Li Zhi said more truthfully.
Wu Mei shook her head thoughtfully, and then slowly said: "With Li Hong's character, I am afraid that he would not do this. He is doing this now, I am afraid that he is trying to cover up, and deliberately left people with a fantasy. Space, and then use this to punish those in the court with ghosts, or this list, can the Huangmen servants register so meticulously this time?"
"Punish? He punishes everyone, so who else to punish?" Li Zhi's mind has recently begun to lose ground.
"It's okay, you can think whatever you want, but my concubine dare to bet with you that there will never be any dirt under the two trees. Don't worry about that, and in the hall , I am afraid that many people have already guessed Li Hong’s intentions, but now they can only know what they know, and cannot tell outsiders. Therefore, in order to keep Li Hong secret, naturally he will not talk to You explained." Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and stood up with a hint of arrogant expression.
People in their fifties are still in their thirties, their slender and white necks are still glowing like white jade, and the tall figure has been a little plump these years, but it’s still exquisite and elegant. The cost of pride is also the pride that still makes Li Zhi addicted to it.
Now the two have a lot of free time, so guessing that Li Hong made every decision in the court, or guessing the reason for Li Hong’s disposal of a certain matter, became the emperor and queen in addition to chess, Besides mahjong, there is another way to kill time.
And this is naturally the two of them, because two small officials from the sixth grade can also discuss the reason for an afternoon.
Di Renjie hurriedly rushed to the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace~IndoMTL.com~ After entering the Chongwen Hall, he immediately seemed to have entered a world like spring in all seasons. He was suffering from the cold wind on the road, and he immediately slowed down. Before seeing His Royal Highness, he wanted to move his frozen hands and feet first.
The Yuan Day will soon arrive, and nowadays Chang'an City Zhengfang, as well as the inns, post houses and other places in Chang'an City, have already attracted a large number of people from foreign countries.
Since Zong Chuke's encounter with the 10-year-old Crown Prince in Zhongnanshan that year, his entire career began to be in a state of steadiness, first from a fifth-rank county magistrate to the third-rank Jingzhao Mansion. The position of the chief official, and then after several years of tempering, he was promoted to Shang Shusheng in the first two years, and became a second-rank court official.
And when he left his post as the chief official of the Jingzhao Mansion, he naturally planned for the crown prince to be the next chief staff member of the Jingzhao Mansion. This is now Ren Zhi who is also in the study of the Crown Prince Chongwen ancient.
When Di Renjie entered the Prince’s study room in the Chongwen Hall, he saw the figure of Prince Li Hong, who was immersed in the memorial, behind the desk wide enough to be called a bed, and on the left and right sides of the "bed" , Naturally stacked with several thick stacks of memorials, and the tall prince is about to be buried in it.
Walking on the thick and luxurious Persian carpet, it feels like stepping on the clouds under your feet, giving people a feeling of flutter and softness.
Several sets of sofas for ministers to sit on are placed not far in front of the desk, and on the walls of the study, there are naturally some famous calligraphy and paintings, and there are also some green leaves that are not common in winter. Flowers.
On the whole, the whole study is not cumbersome, on the contrary, it seems a bit too concise and clear, which is in line with the usual character and style of His Royal Highness.
