Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred twenty-five, after the fall, settle accounts


   With the arrival of a large number of Central Army, the entire fight on the bank of the Luoyang River is coming to an end. All the rangers who premeditated the assassination of Di Renjie and others in the Luoyang River, except for those who died on the spot, were taken back to Dali Temple in Luoyang by Di Renjie .

The old bust on the    painting boat was already frightened and stunned at the beginning of the fight, shivering in the small warehouse on the side of the ship's side. When he was found by the guards, among those who were assassinated by the rangers, there were When the emperor's majesty, the old bustard fainted with his eyes on the spot.

   But even so, the entire painting boats on both sides of the Luoyang River and around them were either taken away by the people from Dali Temple, the Criminal Ministry, and Luoyang Mansion, or were monitored, waiting for the next day's summons.

   This night in Luoyang City is even more disturbing than the rumors that started in Luoyang City that day. The streets and alleys of Luoyang City, on this night, are the sound of horseshoes, screams, and hurried footsteps. The sound and roar never stopped.

   The entire Luoyang city seems to have returned to the scene when Emperor Taizong entered Luoyang. The entire city, whether it is people, officials, or rich and honorable people, almost stayed up all night, like a bird with a frightened bow, with ears raised high. Listening to the nervous voice outside.

   Some daring or clear-minded families mobilized all the servants and generals in the family, taking up weapons to guard the mansion overnight.

   It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn, after the city gates were opened symbolically, that Luoyang City gradually became quiet after the hustle and bustle of the night, and the light mist in the morning had not cleared, and a line appeared at the gates of Luoyang City. The heavily armed and heavily guarded Central Army, with knives and crossbows hanging from the waist, was vigilantly interrogating every civilian and carriage entering and leaving the city.

   In sharp contrast, every city gate, or street and alley, was plastered with the imperial rumors that Li Hong had ordered last night, which was regarded as a tense night in Luoyang City. A reassurance.

   As the sun slowly rises from the east, it drives away the mist in and outside the city at an imperceptible speed. After a night of infiltration, the mist-soaked stone road is full of the mess of last night. Footprints.

   The cries of the entire Luoyang city sounded almost at the same time as the drums in the bell tower. The streets and alleys in Luoyang city were restored to life, as if everything was no different from yesterday. Those nervous people last night The sound of the hair standing upside down and the collision of weapons seemed to have been buried in yesterday's night at this moment.

   But even so, in addition to the common people, the wealthy and honorable, headed by five names and seven hopes, can still smell the traces of unusualness and faint killing intent from the lively and noisy air of Luoyang City.

   One by one, the subordinates hurried back from the outside, basically everyone holding a copy of the notice that had just been lifted from the streets of Luoyang City.

   Cui Xuanwei looked complacent, even with a hint of excitement when he woke up in the morning. At this moment, while discussing with Cui Xinggong about what happened last night, he slowly accepted the notice handed over by the next person.

   There was a complaint from someone in my ear: "This was removed from the gate of our square, and no one stopped it. Although every notice is guarded, it seems that the guards are eager for someone to take it away. It was noticed that the villain took it home after Wu Wei posted another one after the first two people had taken it away."

   "That said, no one suspected that it was you who took it away?" Cui Xinggong was very strange, and his heart was filled with doubts for a moment. After the notice was posted, although it was announced to the world, it was after all his imperial decree. It is not allowed to be taken away by others.

  "There should be no doubts, because after the villain was revealed, the guards didn’t even look at the villain, but immediately took out one with other guards and continued to post it. As for The people and scholars on the sidelines were all focused on the notice of the new post and the voices read by the literate people in the crowd. Presumably no one would notice that the villain was taken away, and the villain still turned around several times. After the ground, I returned by detour." The servant looked at Yizhou Governor Cui Xinggong, who was also the future Patriarch and said.

  , Cui Xuanwei, who has been silent, read the notice carefully and made sure that she understood and understood the meaning between the lines, then she took the notice and praised her and said, "Good job. Go down and rest, I'm calling you for something."

 

 Looking at Cui Xuanwei, whose expressions on his face were very proud, Cui Xinggong said with some worry: "Father, is there something weird in this?"

   "What can be weird? I have read it carefully, please take a look." After saying that, Cui Xuanwei handed the notice to Cui Xinggong, and then sat down in the gallery pavilion and said slowly "It seems that the assassination effect of those rangers last night finally made your Majesty realize and make concessions. We have won this battle."

After    finished speaking, ignoring Cui Xinggong, who had been reading the notice carefully, with his head down, Cui Xuanwei's clenched fist hammered his thigh, and his expression seemed extremely proud and relieved.

   has been tossing with Your Majesty for so many years, and now this event has finally been regarded as a result of a noble family headed by five surnames and seven hopes. In any case, it is worth celebrating. The hard work and careful arrangement of these days is finally It was not in vain.

   Looking at Cui Xinggong, who is still studying the notice carefully, Cui Xuanwei said in a calm tone, "Have you not read it yet to understand? Your Majesty, in order to take care of his own face, it is naturally impossible to mention it. Investigate those who spread the rumors. If they are held accountable, is it not your Majesty who slapped himself in the face? Therefore, there is no mention on the notice that we will be investigated for those who slander us and maliciously slander us. It is the Chinese book and the subordinate when drafting it. Don’t be embarrassed if you face."

  "But... this notice does not say that it is not the father to give up on us? It just said that your majesty will not believe those rumors, will not believe that our five surnames and seven hopes, the rich and honorable, will do Things that shake the foundation of the imperial court and exploit the interests of the people like rumors. But he didn’t say it bluntly. Your Majesty will not be held accountable for the officials who risked death and remonstrance...." Cui Xinggong looked up, looking nonchalant, or now seems a little more energetic. Suddenly, his father felt that all this was just a strategy of his majesty to maintain stability and the people of the world.

  "You continue to look down. Didn’t you still write? Given that the autumn harvest season is approaching, officials who leave their jurisdiction will be ordered to return to their place of office immediately from today? Doesn’t that mean, Your Majesty He has given up on the accountability and intends to make major and trivial matters..." Cui Xuanwei has a good memory, not to mention notices related to their own interests, so he can even memorize the above meanings verbatim.

   Cui Xinggong looked at his relaxed and somewhat proud father, and his heart became more and more uneasy. He couldn't help but shook his head, put down the sign and stood up, looking at Cui Xuanwei and said solemnly: "Father, this majesty is not his majesty. Now, my Majesty, the Emperor of Datang, is very good at playing word games. This seemingly rigorously worded notice that supports our five surnames and seven hopes is very likely to be a paralysis of our majesty, as well as the maintenance of stability and the people and scholars of the world. A strategy of ."

   Cui Xinggong paced slowly in the gallery, but his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, as if the analysis was like telling Cui Xuanwei, he muttered to himself: "Your Majesty’s move is very likely to be It is a purposeful pseudo-concession to split the unity of our five surnames and seven hopes. The notice seems to be biased towards us, but after the whole article, this notice except for your majesty’s sentence of disbelief in Luoyang City yesterday. Except for the rumors and rumors, nothing else... at all! Father, if you don’t believe me, please take a closer look. Except for the one I said just now, after this whole article, did your Majesty have any words or words that are straightforward Surely say that the officials who are no longer held accountable, the five surnames, seven hopes, and those who risked their remonstrance are no longer accountable? As for what you said, all the officials are returned to their posts, and it is still from today. But as the governor of Yizhou, why is it now? No one has notified me that I should return to my post? Isn’t Yizhou not producing food? There must be fraud in this, father, we still have to take a long-term view."

   Cui Xuanwei's expression was first taken aback, and he quickly recalled the content of the notice in his mind. When he was uncertain, he grabbed the notice and compared it with what he had memorized.

   But no matter how he looks at it, he feels that throughout this notice, his majesty has rigorously spoken to them and others for the sake of face, making concessions, pardoning, and not prosecuting officials. After all, it is clear. Wrote: Because the autumn harvest is approaching, the official who ordered the invitation will return to office immediately.

  "You’re so worried, I’ve watched it for my father several times, but I didn’t find that what you said was not? Maybe you are under too much pressure these days, after all, as a great court minister, I was dragged back to fight. Your Majesty, I'm afraid I will let you

Overreacted. This yellow paper with black words, is it possible for the father to be confused and confused? "Cui Xuanwei squeezed a smile on her face, but the smile at this moment, compared with the vigorous and triumphant look just now, seemed somewhat guilty and stiff.

   And Cui Xinggong obviously has not been relieved by his father Cui Xuanwei’s words of persuasion. He still looks dignified into the distance, or just gazes on the notice, muttering: "No, This is definitely not the case. Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than five years. As a court minister, I still have some understanding of your Majesty~ IndoMTL.com~ Your Majesty is definitely not such a person who gives up and gives in so easily, otherwise he is not the current Majesty. Back then. With 3,000 people running towards the eclipse, in less than three months, he broke the seemingly monolithic eclipse to pieces, and he himself was able to lead the Central Army unscathed in that dangerous situation. Back to my Anxi......"

   "Then you are going to tell me, what is your majesty's desire for this notice, and what is the purpose? Is it just for the autumn harvest, to deceive us? But how do you deceive..." Cui Xuanwei was somewhat distracted. Cui Xinggong, who was nervous, was also a little upset. He had a good mood early in the morning, but he was ruined slightly by his cautiousness. It was really horrible.

   But what he didn't expect was that the words of his son immediately plunged him into deep contemplation.

   I saw Cui Xinggong suddenly turned around, his expression became very nervous, pointing to the notice and said anxiously: "Yes, it's the autumn harvest!"

   "What do you mean?" Cui Xuanwei felt that he was almost taken aback by this rebellious son, and jumped up from the chair.

  "My Datang is now the Queen of Qiu, so after the Trial, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai will attach the four words "Qiuhou"."

   "So what?" Cui Xuanwei felt his head hit by a heavy hammer, and started to buzz.

   "Because in addition to the four characters Qiuhouqianzhan, there are also the four characters...autumn after the account!" At the end of the speech, Cui Xinggong was already word by word, but his voice was slightly trembling.
