Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: The fifty-five rule


Li Hong feels a little lonely. What he is doing now is far beyond the scope of life he wants. All this is far from his original plan.

Furthermore, all of this is being forced by an invisible force, and began to stain more blood.

The royal life is far less simple than what I thought when I was just born.

From the moment I was canonized as a prince, everything has been so smooth. He originally thought that he could be recognized by many people with his actions over the years.

But what happened in the past two days made him realize that the royal choice of heir to the throne is far less simple than he thought.

Even if you have been established as the prince, even if you have not made any mistakes, this does not mean that you will be able to successfully inherit the throne.

During this period, whether it is intentional or intentional, many things will happen to you to test whether you are qualified as a prince, whether you are qualified to inherit the throne, and whether you have enough ability to command the courtiers.

Goodness, kindness, tolerance, magnanimity, mind and so on, all these things placed under the sun, no one will test you, you only need to do it yourself.

The test often comes from the dark side behind the glamour: cold-blooded, cruel, murderous, conspiracy, selfishness, ambition, city government, etc.

These elements that a qualified ruler should have, after you become a prince, you will inadvertently touch someone that no one sees, but everyone knows it, named " After the switch of "ambition", these difficult tests will hit you like a storm.

Each dynasty and generations, the alternate continuation of royal power will always be accompanied by a **** background.

In Li Hong's view, beneath the surface of the royal splendor and nobility is actually the living animal world, a perfect interpretation of the laws of survival.

Like a pack of wolves choosing a qualified wolf, it is always necessary to fight and fight to find the best, strongest, most intelligent, ambitious, greedy, cruel and cold-blooded wolf. Pick it out.

Only such wolves can lead the wolves and protect their tribe in a world of the weak and the strong, and can they expand and consolidate their territory, and make themselves the sole master of this territory, as well as their descendants. Sun, bring a stronger imperial power!

Just like what my father is doing now, whether it is against the countries of the Western Regions, or the Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, etc. in the east, a series of wars and oppression are not just to prove that he is a qualified royal orthodoxy , Is a qualified leader of the wolf pack!

And Li Hong, it was because he touched this button called "ambition" that this brought about the current stormy situation.

All this seems normal in the royal family. There is no family, no friendship, no warmth, only the hard and cold desire for power.

Like wolves, in the struggle for the position of the wolves, for the future development and growth of the wolves, the competitors of the wolves will always need to go through fierce and cruel struggles to be competent.

The father is weak and indecisive, but the victory lies in the overall strategy and the tolerance of the city. Therefore, in order to prove that he is a qualified ruler of the Great Tang, he must use external warfare to convince his subjects that he is capable and bring long-term stability to the Great Tang.

The queen mother has a strong personality, decisive and decisive, but weak in ethics. When the emperor's battle for the front emerged, the mother's strengths made up for the father's weakness in making political decisions.

Therefore, the two people made up for each other, which also caused the so-called "Emperor and Empress Struggle" in the court. Intentionally or unintentionally, the mother and queen also touched the button called "ambition".

But these did not hinder them. After they touched the "ambition" button because of Li Yifu, they began to put various tests on themselves.

And what they are facing now is just their own quiz.

Wang Wu Tian and Wu Tian are the names of two people, which are surprisingly the same as hard work, they are twin brothers.

It was just a year later than the hard work and no complaints before he joined Li Hong, and these two people were still bought by Li Hong from Yazi, a native of Chang'an City.

Unable and Wutian also look very similar. The two have no obvious characteristics, and the ordinary can not be more ordinary. They belong to the kind of looks that you will never notice when you are stuck in a crowd.

Even if you pass by in a hurry and see these two people, if you don't deliberately remember them, you won't even remember what they look like afterwards.

Ordinary looks can no longer be ordinary, and moderately well-proportioned bodies can no longer be well-proportioned. The two walking postures are like their looks, and they are always so calm and calm.

However, Xia Zhi is very afraid of these two people. Even when Mang and Hua Meng meet these two people, they will involuntarily get nervous all over, and their muscles are in the highest state of alertness.

"Mythology" is the code name of their organization. How many people the prince has assembled for "Mythology" is not clear to Xia Zhi and others.

She only knows that under the leadership of these two people, "Myth" doesn't sound as good as the name, they are the butcher knife in the hands of the prince.

So far, "Mythology" has only been used two or three times. Last year, he assassinated the envoy of the Tang Dynasty led by the Japanese Kingdom, and finally forced the Japanese people who came to Tang to study without success.

This assassination did not discourage the Japanese people. This year, about 500 people gathered to study in Datang, and they strengthened their manpower to protect their envoys from Tang and the many young people who came to study in Datang.

No one knows who the Japanese people were assassinated last year. In Xia Zhi, it was only the night before that the crown prince had summoned "Mythology", and then the envoy to Tang died the next day.

The prince has never dealt with the Japanese people, but she feels that the prince is full of disgust towards the Japanese people, as well as the people of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Any envoys from these countries ask to see the prince. Rejected mercilessly.

Li Hong had already been waiting in the pavilion of the East Palace Garden, and Xia Zhi led the two to walk quickly to the pavilion.

Lawlessness looked at the back of the summer solstice away, and then slowly knelt down and said: "The minister can't, Wutian has seen the prince."

Li Hong didn’t seem to hear the two people’s greetings. He still looked at the direction of the Daming Palace and watched the vague scene of construction in full swing. After a long time, he slowly said: "Being Li Yifu’s daughter and son-in-law, the case happened. The scene was made into the illusion of death caused by the conflict between buying and selling officials. He became Xu Ziran, the son of Xu Yushi, and the crime scene was turned into a victim's revenge. Another thing is to find the perpetrator who killed Liang Jianfang and kill him." /

"Yes, the prince." The lawless voice was calm, as if listening to a very ordinary thing, not full of helplessness and bitterness like Li Hong's voice.

Li Hong rubbed his cheeks to make his facial expression less heavy, slowly sat down on the chair, and then said again: "‘How long will it take?"

Lawless looking at each other, he meditated and said: "Back to the prince, the minister needs the cooperation of the "Jing Wei". If they cooperate with the "myth", three days will be enough."

"Give you two days, "Jing Wei" will cooperate with you, and will give you accurate information, including who killed Liang Jianfang, and "Jing Wei" will give you clues. Only two days If it lasts three days, I’m afraid your “myth” will struggle to chase down those things lost in the medicated food room."

"Yes, the prince." Lawless said, bowing his head.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. If the "Jing Wei" cooperated, two days of these things would be enough.

As the two major organizations of the East Palace, the "myth" of assassination and the "jingwei" of intelligence, if the two groups do these things for more than three days, they really don't have to serve the prince.

"Also, tell "Jing Wei" to start collecting all the illegal things about He Lan Minzhi, and you can even add some charges to him." Li Hong lay on the table, fiddled with the exquisite tea set, said lazily.

Lawlessness does not understand, "Jingwei" and "Shenzhen" have always been unable to ventilate, unless it is the prince who ordered, but why did he let himself inform this time?

"Prince, "Mythology" and "Jingwei" have never been connected..." said without doubt.

"Follow it, the situation forced them." Li Hong waved his hand and let them go.

After being unable and lawless to kneel and salute, then slowly left, and began to prepare for the prince’s explanation. Since the prince asked to inform "Jing Wei", then he would even risk being killed by "Jing Wei" , I also have to tell the "Jing Wei" Prince's meaning.

But who is leading "Jingwei"? Lawless and the two did not know, but he knew that the notification to "Jingwei" was also very simple. Just write a few Arabic numerals to say what you want to say, and hand it to the porter of the Pu Palace, and the porter received it, then even the notification arrived.

This is an emergency plan prepared by the prince prince for "Mythology" and "Jingwei". I didn't expect it to be used so soon.

Under the faint yellow night, Chang'an City will appear quiet after the night comes. A carriage slowly walks on Zhuque Street, looking so leisurely and contented.

Bai Chun returned to Chang'an. Taiyi City strengthened its guards, but she couldn't relax at all. She looked up at a white dove in the night sky with its wings flapping~ IndoMTL.com~ from the Pu Palace The direction flew out, and the white as jade brows gradually unfolded, but they wrinkled together quickly in an instant.

Bai Chun lowered his head and thought for a while, seeing that the carriage was about to reach Chengtian Gate, he whispered, "Stop in front of Chengtian Gate."

The guard of the palace guard carefully checked Bai Chun's token, flipping back and forth several times, and finally let Bai Chun into the palace, and the carriage behind her entered the palace and quietly disappeared into an alley. in.

"The slave servant Bai Chun has seen your majesty." Bai Chun appeared in Li Zhi's study in the Ganlu Temple.

Yang Wu looked at Li Zhi’s gestures, silently bowed back to the outside of the study, gently closed the study door, swung back the two court ladies at the door of the study, and stood with the other eunuchs Going to the door of Ganlu Temple, I looked around vigilantly.

"Is there something stolen from Taiyi City that Li Hong valued very much?" Li Zhi put down the memorial in his hand and leaned against the back of his chair and asked.

"Yes, mercury is very important to the prince, but it is not the key. The key is the theft of what the prince called the "Royal Dining Room"." Bai Chun said with his eyes downcast, standing opposite the desk.

"What do you know?" Li Zhi asked, playing with the Zhu Bi in his hand.

"The slaves and maids don't know. Only lawless know about this matter, and they are also responsible." Bai Chun still said lightly.

"Lawlessness? The assassination organization that Li Hong organized himself?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave maid told you last time, the slave maid suspected that the envoy sent to Tang was assassinated by the "mythical" organization led by lawlessness last year."

"How many people are there in this assassination organization?" Li Zhi looked indifferent, and did not feel that it was strange that Li Hong possessed such a mysterious assassin organization. Besides, he knew that Li Hong had cultivated such an organization four years ago.

"No more than three hundred people." Bai Chun still answered simply.
