Chapter 182: Out of Prison
The blue sky is surrounded by square walls, and the prison that is not like a prison in the world. This is Yun Hao's evaluation of the Imperial Palace!
Locked up for a whole month, spring has passed, and summer is coming. But Li Yuan seemed to have forgotten Yun Hao's existence, and seemed to be very relieved of Yun Hao. Rest assured that Yun Hao can run rampant in Li Yuan's huge harem group, and he is not afraid of scandals from this young and vigorous marquis.
Maybe Li Yuan was looking forward to something happening to Yun Hao and one of his concubines, and it was reasonable to kill him like that. From the royal family to the ministers of the court, there will not be a trace of opposition.
Yun Hao firmly believes that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have huge power in the harem. On several occasions, scantily clad women inadvertently threw their arms into their arms. Every time, Yun Hao could find a few thieves and rat-eyed chamberlains nearby.
I really don't have confidence in my lower body, there is no way, Yun Hao can only lock himself in the small courtyard and not go out. Rao is like this, and there are often things like knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Every night, Yun Hao almost sleeps with his head covered. These women are like beasts of the flood and cannot be touched!
Thankfully, the great Mr. Li Yuan finally remembered that he also had a courtier named Yun Hao. Yun Hao had never noticed that Su Jin's wrinkled face was so cute.
The air pressure inside the Taiji Hall is very low, and the atmosphere is very solemn. The crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin Li Shimin, and the king of Qi Li Yuanji stood on both sides of Dan Zhang, and the two sides looked at each other angrily, eager to bite each other to death immediately.
When Yun Hao stepped into the Taiji Hall, Li Er was roaring. "Father, Zhang Liang has military merits. He was promoted from a small lieutenant to a general of the cavalry, and was born and died for my Tang Dynasty to conquer the world. Now, because of the false accusations of a group of local chickens and dogs, my loyal and brave people in the Tang Dynasty have suffered such humiliation.
The sons dared to ask their fathers, was they not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers by doing this. If there is another war, who can sacrifice his life for my Datang. ”
"The second brother is not right, the state has national laws and family rules. It is true that Zhang Liang has military merits, but the rewards of the imperial court are no less. As you said, he was just a little lieutenant. The imperial court rewarded him with a general who rode a chariot, which was already a favor.
But this Zhang Liang didn't want to repay the emperor's kindness, but he made friends with outlaws in Heluo and other places with bad intentions. Erchen has the confessions of bandits such as Tian Dawei and Drill Mountain Leopard, which can be used as evidence. Erchen was about to find out where he had bought the money and silk of these outlaws. The second brother broke into Dali Temple and forcibly took the prisoner away. Could it be that there are still unknown things in this? ”
After Li Yuanji finished speaking, Li Er's eyes became even colder. When did this kid be so eloquent, and the first term of the gentleman actually said things reasonably. It's all an upright conspiracy, without a trace of conspiracy. His eyes inadvertently swept over Wei Zheng's face, and he saw Wei Zheng showing approval.
It must have been taught by this old bastard, Li Yuanji's stupid head who only knew the color of wine would never come up with such an explanation.
"Father, the emperor, the son was only tortured by cruelty because of the generals. Angry for a while, he broke into Dali Temple and took the prisoner away. If it weren't for the timely arrival of his son, Zhang Liang, a meritorious man, would probably have died under torture. The fourth brother is going to be beaten into a trick, can it be said that the fourth brother wants to plot against anyone? Of course, Li Er didn't give it for nothing, and immediately returned to Li Yuanji.
"Uh......!" Li Yuanji glanced at Wei Zheng helplessly, and what Wei Zheng had just taught him remembered at that time. But now, all of a sudden, I forgot. I stared at my eyes and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't remember what to say. Wei Zheng saw that Li Yuanji was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and closed his eyes helplessly.
Sure enough, it was a gentleman who was embarrassed by the big responsibility, and he didn't dare to rush to the front to say it himself. It's just a horse wash in the East Palace, and this kind of scene has no part for him to speak.
"Okay, don't make any noise. Yun Hao, you are a clever one. Tell me, what should be done about this? Li Yuan was also troubled by the quarrel between his two sons, and his heart was towards Li Jiancheng. But Li Er had just returned triumphantly, and the smell of wine at the celebration banquet had not yet dissipated. Just took his subordinates to open the knife, Li Yuan felt that it was a little too much. In case Li Er is in a hurry, he is the King of Qin who leads the troops. Perhaps, a tragic change in the palace is just around the corner.
For Li Er, Li Yuan is not ready to be beaten to death with a stick. The military power must be reduced little by little, until Li Er finally has no room for resistance.
Yun Hao had just entered the hall and listened to the general situation. Knowing that it was because of Zhang Liang's matter, he thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty! Why don't you let Zhang Liang come in and see what kind of punishment Zhang Liang has suffered. If it's really torture, there's actually nothing under Miki that can't be recruited. can insist on not recruiting, which can only mean that he does not have a trick. This is a stupid way by Wei Chen, and Your Majesty will definitely have a better way. ”
"Humph! Be less verbose, and you'll have a good idea. Look at what punishment Zhang Liang suffered, I still know some of the methods of Dali Temple. If it is really torture and does not confess, it seems that he is innocent. As soon as Li Yuan said this, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces immediately changed. It looks like this time, it's going to fall short again.
Li Er glanced back at Yun Hao and nodded slightly to say hello. Yun Hao learned from Xiao Yu's example, and no one cared about being an old monk and entering the fixed state.
After a while, Zhang Liang was carried in. Li Yuan personally inspected Zhang Liang's injuries, and when he heard that the torture of hot oil enema had been used. Li Yuan was also impressed by Zhang Liang!
"Zhang Liang was tortured like this and did not confess, which shows that he really has grievances. Erlang will take people back and take care of them properly, and I will not let him be wronged in vain. This incident wronged him, and I will make up for it after discussing it with Pei Lian. ”
"Thank you, Father!" With Li Yuan's words, Li Er could be regarded as relieved. In the future, no one will dare to trouble Zhang Liang with this matter.
"Your Majesty, my nephew has something to report." Li Erxiao stopped, and Li Daoyan stood up.
"Oh, Michihiko! What's the matter? "Li Daoyan has no official position, and he usually does not appear in the court meeting. Today, the court discussed that he entered the palace, and Li Yuan was a little strange.
"Your Majesty, my nephew is here to complain. Wei Ting, the director of Dali Temple, doesn't know whose power he has played. actually insulted his nephew in the public hall of Dali Temple, and said that his nephew's whole family was a green-headed king. The king of Qi was also present at the time, so he ordered someone to take down the thief.
Your Majesty! The nephew's father was still out of the town in Luoyang in the year of his sixtieth birthday, and the nephew was wronged in Chang'an and did not complain. I can only come to Your Majesty, uncle! You'll have to call the shots for your nephew! Li Daoyan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly when he said that he was sad. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces changed at that time, and this complaint was really embarrassing.
"What? Is there such a thing? King Qi, you say! "When Li Daoyan was young, Li Yuan loved this nephew the most. Today, when I heard that Li Daoyan was actually abused in court, he immediately became angry.
"Uh......! Father, this matter ...... This matter ......! Li Yuanji really couldn't say that there were dozens of pairs of eyes in the court at that time, and it was not easy to deny it. But in this matter, Wei Zheng didn't teach him how to say it. When Li Yuan asked, he could only squeak and whine.
"Say, yes or no!" Li Yuan's thunder shook the roof tiles in anger, and the timid palace maid was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Li Yuanji was so frightened that he trembled, and replied without thinking about it: "Yes!" ”
"Good! The officials of Dali Temple have reached this point, insulting the royal family in front of the court. The whole family is the eighth king, so what am I? There is no monarch in this way, and what is the use of those who bully the king. Come......! ”
"Father, Wei Ting used to be an errand boy in the East Palace. Erchen knows a little, if he insults the imperial family, he doesn't have the guts. Whether to hand over the person to the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial and then hand it over to the Yamen of the Department for questioning according to the law. Seeing that Li Yuan wanted to deal with his henchman, Li Jiancheng immediately became anxious. No matter how you say it, you have to save the people first, at least you can't let Li Yuan chop it up like this.
"Examine the first instance, check it. People are all spoiled by you, to the point of insulting the royal family in court. He left the town of Luoyang for me, and his son was humiliated in the capital. If such a person is not killed, how can you explain it to Uncle Huainan Wang? Coming, Wei Ting is rebellious and bullying the king. The edict ordered to behead the public outside the gate at noon, and the violent corpse was not allowed to be restrained for three days. Li Yuan didn't give Li Jiancheng any face, and immediately ordered Wei Ting to be executed.
Li Yuan had Li Yuan's abacus and finished beating Li Er. Naturally, Li Jiancheng must also clean up, otherwise Li Jiancheng will be the only one. To the point where he covered the sky with one hand, he couldn't even die a natural death if he wanted to. As an emperor, the most important thing is balance. The power in the court can be relatively large, but it must not form a monopoly.
"No! What my father taught me was! Li Jiancheng was scolded by Li Yuan's words, and he didn't dare to interject again.
This time in the secret fight, Zhang Liang under Li was almost abolished. And Li Jiancheng's most loyal Ma Tsai Wei Ting was beheaded. The two sides were tied, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji glanced at Li Daoyan angrily, and stood under the danqi without speaking.
"Go down, all of you! Yun Hao, you haven't been home for so many days. Let's go home and have a look, so that the family will not worry. Perhaps thinking that Li Er was in a weak position now, Li Yuan released Yun Hao. Quite a meaning of putting a dog at the door!
Yun Hao was so happy that the snot bubble almost came out, and he left home in early winter. It's been almost half a year now, and I haven't gone home to see it. The days in the palace are really enough, and now there is no difference between walking out of the palace and being released from prison. The mood can only be described as excited.
The peonies in Chang'an City in May are blooming just right, but Yun Hao is not in the mood to appreciate the rich peonies on the roadside. Even Li Er's invitation was refused, and under the protection of Qin Qiong, he beat his horse and whipped straight to Lintong. In the chaotic Chang'an City, he can't stay too much for a second.
