Chapter 384 Dinghaishen Needle (II)

7063

"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Rao is Xiao Yu was also a dignified person in the past, but in this extraordinary period, his words and questions were even trembling, and the fear and uneasiness in his heart were completely revealed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness ......" Xiao Yan's old face suddenly burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Hiss......" As soon as Xiao Yu saw Xiao Li's appearance, her heart was cold, she gasped, suddenly jumped up, grabbed Xiao Li's corset, and yelled: "Say, tell me quickly, what is going on with His Royal Highness the Prince, say it quickly!" That anxious look no longer has the bearing of the prime minister of the past.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head and let Xiao Yu shake it into a puppet, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly burst into tears, crying and shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's gone!" ”

"Ah......" When Xiao Yu heard this, he was dumbfounded, and let go of the soft Xiao Yu in a daze, and took a few steps backwards one after another, and muttered: "Impossible, impossible, this is impossible!" Then, as if he had suddenly woken up halfway, he pushed away the courtiers who were supporting him behind him, and yelled: "Get out!" A few big strides rushed into the bedroom, and when I saw Li Zhi, who was dressed in a white robe, lying quietly on the collapse, his hands clasped in front of his chest, as if he was asleep, but his face was extremely pale, several imperial doctors knelt down in front of the collapse, and the crown princess Wang and other wives and concubines of the East Palace were sitting by the wall and crying to themselves.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Xiao Yu rushed forward excitedly, knelt down in front of him, stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, tried Li Zhi's snort, and suddenly stopped, his whole body trembled suddenly, and then he howled and cried: "Your Highness, the old minister is a step late, Your Highness, the old minister failed to fulfill his responsibilities, the old minister is sorry for His Majesty's trust, Your Highness, Your Highness ......"

The courtiers heard that the movement inside was wrong, and they all rushed to the palace, and Zhu Suiliang, who was so anxious to preside over the overall situation, roared loudly: "Retreat, retreat, all retreat!" ”

Zhu Suiliang shouted very angrily, but it is a pity that none of the high-ranking officials present listened to him, and no one refused to let go of such a great opportunity to show loyalty, the reason is very simple - to express sorrow and respect to the deceased, but the father of the deceased was moved, anyone knows that today's things are afraid that it will be difficult to be good, in order not to be beaten by Li Shimin in the future, no matter how disdainful Li Zhi himself is, at this time, no matter what, he has to go in first and cry again, so, The big guys rushed into the dormitory in a scramble, and when they saw Xiao Yu crying very sadly, the courtiers were not far behind, they all knelt on the ground, crying loudly, and the sound of crying and grabbing the ground was endless, but it was really like a thing, but only they knew whether it was really crying or fake crying, but as a courtier, the kung fu of the performance was naturally extremely skilled, and such a big cry was really a bit of a discolored posture.

The courtiers are worthy of being masters of acting, and they don't need to change their breath when they cry, not to mention how sad they are, but it's not a matter to cry like this, at the end, it was still Comrade Xiao who took the lead in coming back to his senses, of course, he couldn't do anything about it, who made him not only an auxiliary minister, but also the prince Taibao, the prince had an accident, if there was no explanation, then he Xiao Yu would have a big responsibility, right? No, he was crying, but when he saw Comrade Xiao angrily, he rushed towards the imperial doctors, grabbed Xiao Lian again, and shouted almost with a roar: "Say, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get into trouble, who harmed His Royal Highness the Prince, tell me quickly!" ”

Xiao Yan cried for so long, he was already groggy, and being shaken by Comrade Xiao like this, people were even more dizzy, and the words blurted out without thinking: "Your Highness took ** overdose, so that he died of physical exhaustion." ”

"What? **? Fart! When Comrade Xiao heard this, he became anxious, but he shook Xiao Yan vigorously and scolded: "Bastard, you dare to harm Your Highness with such tiger and wolf medicine, and the old man has beheaded this old dog!" ”

"My lord, the lower officials have been wronged, and the lower officials have never prepared this medicine for His Royal Highness." The hat that Comrade Xiao buckled down was really too big, how could Xiao Lian bear it, even if he shouted injustice, but Comrade Lao Xiao was in a daze, no matter how Xiao Lian explained, as soon as his hand was raised, several big slaps were pumped over, and Xiao Lian's face was full of peach blossoms.

As soon as they heard that the prince was overdosed and died, the courtiers who were crying vigorously were all dumbfounded, most of the courtiers didn't expect Li Zhi to be such an undignified death, and they forgot to cry for a while, and they all looked at Comrade Xiao who was breaking out in a daze, and the most depressed thing in his heart was only afraid that it belonged to Zhu Suiliang, the reason is very simple - Li Zhi died, and all the efforts of Zhu Suiliang in front of him naturally came to naught, not to mention, as an auxiliary minister, he failed to take care of the prince of the prison country, which is a big crime in itself, As soon as Li Shimin returns to Beijing, he will definitely not be able to please him, unless he can make miraculous achievements.

As soon as he thought of making meritorious contributions, Zhu Suiliang's heart and eyes immediately came alive, and when he saw that Comrade Lao Xiao was completely as unreasonable as a madman, Zhu Suiliang could only stand up and said loudly: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not the kind of person who abuses tiger and wolf medicine, there must be something strange in this, as a courtier, I failed to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, which is really a big crime, and now the matter has come to this point, when the real culprit is found, not to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be wronged underground." ”

Zhu Suiliang's words were impassioned, and his intention was just to shirk responsibility - as long as he investigated, then no matter whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really poisoned or not, he could always find a scapegoat, and the weight on the shoulders of the big guy could naturally be reduced because of this.

Seeing that all the ministers agreed to his own proposal, Zhu Suiliang was ready to be the commander of the commander, and ordered loudly: "Come on, the order is to block the East Palace immediately, and no one is allowed to leave the ...... without the edict of the official and Xiao Zhongshu" Zhu Suiliang's words were not finished, and suddenly saw Li Jing, who was wearing heavy armor, leading several generals and Liu Donghe, the inner chamberlain, to walk in from outside the dormitory, and hurriedly stopped talking, rolled his eyes, hurried over, bowed and saluted: "Old Guogong, why are you here, Your Highness, he ......"

Li Jing didn't pay attention to Zhu Suiliang's greetings, nor did he pay attention to the important ministers of the court who followed the generals up, but walked slowly to the couch with a cane, looked at Li Zhi on the couch with a sad face, slowly knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and then got up, looked around at the courtiers with different faces, and said calmly: "A certain has been ordered by His Majesty to block the four gates of the Beijing Division, the whole city is curfew, all the people of the East Palace will be taken down together, and the decision will be made after the case is clarified!" ”

As soon as Li Jing's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and the ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, but in this dead silence, Comrade Xiao came back to his senses, threw Xiao Li, who had been beaten to death, rushed over, and said with red eyes: "Li Jing, what do you want?" What about the Holy Decree? ”

When Li Jing was the prime minister of the court, he was a very humble person, no matter whether it was a big court or a small meeting, it was rare to see him arguing with others, even if Li Shimin made a statement, he was only submissive, and he had no temper at all, so although his military exploits were in the world, both civil and military, Xiao Yu looked down on Li Jing's slightly cold background, and even more despised Li Jing's non-arguing temperament. Regardless of whether the occasion was right or wrong at this time, it immediately started to attack. Xiao Yu's careful thinking not to mention that Li Jing knew it in his heart, even the other courtiers also knew about it, but the big guys also wanted to know what was going on with the secret edict in Li Jing's hand, although no one stood up to help Comrade Xiao, but no one spoke for Li Jing, and they were all silent, waiting to see how Li Jing ended.

At this time, Li Jing is not the Li Jing who was submissive in the court back then, Li Jing, who felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, was the general Li Jing who was decisive in the battlefield at this time, and it was impossible to make any concessions to Xiao Yu, as soon as he saw Xiao Yu jumping out, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't talk nonsense, just waved his hand and said concisely: "Gonggong Liu, please announce the edict!" ”

"Yes, the old slave is here." After Liu Donghe followed Li Jing into the city, he saw that all parts of the capital except for the palace were already under control, and at this time he had already made up his mind, and when he heard Li Jing's call, he immediately stood up from behind, took out the holy decree from his arms, held it in his hand, looked around at the ministers, and coughed, and the courtiers in the hall saw that Liu Donghe's posture did not look fake, and immediately all knelt down, waiting for Liu Donghe to read the edict.

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict to say......" Liu Donghe unfolded the edict and read it out slowly, the more the ministers listened to it, the more frightened they became, and the chills in their hearts continued to pour out-this edict and the transfer of the Nanya army were obviously not improvised, so who killed Li Zhi? Is it Li Shimin's hand? The ministers were all in a state of shock, until the decree was finished, and no one said a word of thanksgiving, but they all knelt there in a daze.

Li Jing didn't care what the courtiers were thinking, his face was solemn, and he said loudly: "General Xue, the old man Ling'er immediately led his troops to blockade the East Palace, and everyone else will be taken down, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Xue Wanche, who had been watching coldly for a long time, didn't talk nonsense, answered the promise loudly, and rushed out of the dormitory in a big stride, and went to mobilize people without mentioning it. In an instant, a team of brightly clad Nanya troops had already swarmed in from the four gates of the East Palace, taking down all the East Palace people scattered everywhere, and the entire East Palace was immediately in chaos......

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, although it is four o'clock in the morning, but because of the curfew, the pedestrians on the streets and alleys are almost extinct, and the cafeteria and wine shop have long been closed, but the number of people who can't sleep is too many to count, and under the seemingly calm night, the dark tide is surging, and God knows how many conspiracies are staged in this darkness one after another. At this time, the dark Yue Wang's Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were many bright and dark whistles, but from time to time, there were people in black who came and went from the high walls of the palace to turn over and over, and all kinds of news were continuously sent to the inner study, and all kinds of instructions were continuously transmitted from the inner study to all directions.

"Mr. Na, judging from the current situation, the Wu Wangfu and the Wei Wangfu seem to have prepared in advance, it is difficult to say which side did it, and there is also a strange reason for the sudden appearance of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, today, this is obviously a means buried by His Majesty in advance, could it be ......" Yan Da saw that Na Long was sitting behind the desk and never said a word, and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, a fog." Na Long didn't pretend to be mysterious this time, got up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "No matter which side moves, now that the prince is dead, it is difficult to say who can enter the East Palace. ”

"That's right, but my subordinates think that since Your Majesty asked Wei Guogong to come forward to clean up the mess, I'm afraid that my heart will still favor His Royal Highness more, otherwise it will ......" Yan Da just said this, Na Long immediately waved his hand, stopped Yan Da's words, shook his head and said: "That's not the case, according to a certain opinion, Your Majesty will not act so casually, hey, in addition to Wei Guogong, Your Majesty must have other arrangements, but the prince's matter is too sudden, Your Majesty is only afraid and didn't expect it, well, according to a certain opinion, Your Majesty will abolish Li Zhi's heart, but he will never do such a poisonous hand to the prince, and the person who does this should be someone else, but this has nothing to do with us, so let the Criminal Department worry about it, what really makes a certain person feel strange is where did that martial artist go, and he was able to escape the big search from all sides, which is really amazing! ”

"The subordinates have ordered the Gyeonggi Department to pursue her with all her might, as long as she is still in this Chang'an City, then she will definitely be able to find her traces!" Speaking of martial arts, Yan Da is also very emotional - "Rising Sun" has already begun to arrange a plan to deal with Wu Meiniang, but he didn't expect things to be a sudden peak, and before "Rising Sun" made a move, Li Zhi finished playing, and now Wu Meiniang has become a lost dog, even if she is still alive, I am afraid that it will no longer have any impact on the court situation, the reason why Yan Da ordered the pursuit of this woman is actually to find out some specific details before Li Zhi's accident.

"That's it, you can find the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't." Na Long didn't mind if he could get Wu Meiniang, at this moment his mind had already turned to how to win the heir next, at this time, seeing Yanda say this, he said with a smile, so he no longer dwelled on this matter, but lowered his head and pondered......

Panic and panic, Wu Meiniang has never been so panicked in her life as she is today, although at this time she has already left the palace in disguise and hid in a small courtyard bought in advance, but as soon as she recalls the scene in the study of the East Palace, Wu Meiniang can't help but panic - failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing where she is defeated, Wu Meiniang has been ready to fail since she hooked up with Li Zhi, and she also sent someone to purchase this small courtyard in advance, of course, The little eunuch who was sent to buy the courtyard had already been secretly killed by her, and now no one in Manchang'an City knows that she Wu Meiniang is hiding at the feet of this son of heaven, and there is enough food hoarded here, enough to support the limelight in the past, as for the future, Wu Meiniang can't take care of it at this time, and her eyes are full of unwillingness.

Unwilling, how can Wu Meiniang be willing? Seeing that she was about to climb to the highest peak, she was kicked directly to the bottom of the valley, and this contrast made Wu Meiniang grit her teeth with hatred - since the Xiangzhou military food case has been investigated, Liu Xun is undoubtedly falling, once the investigation will go down, whether it is Cui Renshi or Su Miao, even if it does not fall, it is inevitable that it will be implicated, as for the low-level officials in the household department and the official department, they are afraid that they will fall a large piece because of this, if this is the case, Donggong will naturally be able to rely on this case to stuff people into these two departments, So as to firmly grasp these two in his hands, at that time, Li Zhi's position as the crown prince will only be able to stabilize as Mount Tai, but unfortunately, all this has been put down with the fall of Li Zhi - Wu Meiniang, as a person who bears Li Zhi's madness, knows that Li Zhi is already a thief and goes to the empty building, in that case, if he doesn't die, he has to lose half his life, how can it be possible to control the court again, and the court situation is in chaos, even if Li Zhi does not die, there is no chance of recovery, once there is no big backer like Li Zhi, just with her small talent, It is impossible to be the opponent of all forces, therefore, without waiting for the exact news of Li Zhi to come out, Wu Meiniang sneaked out of the East Palace and fled alone, but it is a pity that people escaped, but the hard work of a lifetime has also been put into water, how can Wu Meiniang swallow this breath?

"Not convinced, I am not convinced, why, why? I'm not convinced! Wu Meiniang anxiously paced back and forth in the silent and uninhabited room, muttering non-stop, a pair of small hands clenched into fists, and the originally pretty little face became a little more hideous.

"Alas......" Just when Wu Meiniang kept chattering, a long sigh came from the closed window, and Wu Meiniang was frightened and turned blue, and hurriedly threw herself at the head of the bed, blew out the oil lamp lit on the corner of the table in one breath, and then took out a small knife, held it in her hand, and stared at the dark door with trembling all over.

"Who? Who's there? Wu Meiniang waited for a long time, but didn't hear any movement, walked to the door suspiciously, and couldn't help whispering.

"Donor, do you remember the poor road?" A clear voice suddenly sounded behind Wu Meiniang, and then the sound of flint and steel rang out, and the oil lamp that had been extinguished was lit again.

"Ah, it's you?" Wu Meiniang blocked her eyebrows with her hand, looked at it fixedly, and immediately recognized that the person was Yuan Tiangang, who had approved her life, and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the poor road." Yuan Tiangang shook the dust in his hand, stood with one hand, and made a mockery.

"You, what are you going to do? The slave family was harmed like this by you, what do you want to do? If you want the life of the slave family, take it. As soon as Wu Meiniang saw Yuan Tiangang's polite appearance, she immediately cried and shouted at Yuan Tiangang.

"Alas......" Seeing that Wu Meiniang fell into such a field today, Yuan Tiangang also had an inexplicable emotion - when Wu Meiniang was just born, Yuan Tiangang gave her a life - the Wu family dressed Wu Meiniang as a boy and asked Yuan Tiangang to approve it, Yuan Tiangang only said, 'It's a pity that this is not a woman, otherwise she will ascend the throne.' This is only a joke from the martial arts family, only Wu Meiniang herself is convinced, since entering the palace, but also dreams of one day to ascend the emperor's throne, Zhenguan fifteen years Yuan Tiangang into the dynasty for the volcano order (official name, from the six products of the ad hoc position, non-set. Later, Wu Meiniang managed to find Yuan Tiangang and begged him to give him guidance, at that time Yuan Tiangang refused to agree, but he couldn't bear Wu Meiniang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to point to Li Zhi who happened to pass by and said, 'Er's life should be on him', this is the origin of Wu Meiniang's initiative to hook up with Li Zhi, now Li Zhi is dead, everything is over, Wu Meiniang fell into such a field now, it can be said that there is an inseparable relationship with Yuan Tiangang.

"Time, life, the way of humanity remains the same, the way of fate often changes, Niangniang has come, done, that's enough, the poor road is about to return to the mountain, Niang Niang is willing to go with the poor road?" Yuan Tiangang was not angry because of Wu Meiniang's scolding, but just looked at Wu Meiniang calmly and asked lightly.

"Back to the mountain? Peer? Wu Meiniang obviously didn't expect Yuan Tiangang to come here just for this matter, she was a little stupid for a while, and she unconsciously repeated it in her mouth, and a sense of grievance struck, and two lines of tears came out of her eyes, flowing down her white jade-like cheeks......
