Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2429 Ignorant
Although His Majesty Li Er ordered to block the news of Fang Jun's assassination, there were many witnesses at that time, and the news inevitably leaked out.

Not only the fact that Fang Jun was assassinated could not be concealed, even the fact that the coin dies were found in the Qiu family's ancestral house was also spread within a small area...

Caused a strong shock.

Assassinating important officials of the imperial court in the street, this is something that never happened even in the pre-Sui Dynasty when the precarious building was about to collapse, but it happened just like this in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in the city of Chang'an, under the feet of the emperor, it is really true Shocking very much.

For a time, the emperor was furious, and the government and the public were shaken.

Especially when the news spread that the emperor had merged the two cases and handed them over to the Changsun Wuji to rule over the three courts for review, the people in the government and the opposition were even more panicked.

Everyone knows that the Guanlong nobles have been suppressed by His Majesty Li Er for the past two years, and the power they originally held was spit out bit by bit, and was swallowed up by the two major factions of the Jiangnan gentry and the Shandong family. It can be counted, now that Changsun Wuji has got such an errand, there will be a lot of censorship, and countless officials will be involved.

The struggle for power has never been sentimental. Once the opponent finds a gap to break through and attack, it is bound to pursue it until it is completely defeated...

No one can tell what His Majesty Li Er is thinking in his heart. Since he spared no effort to suppress the Guanlongmen Clan before, why did he give Changsun Wuji such huge power this time?

*****
Shen Guogong's mansion.

Gao Shilian was also invited by His Majesty Li Er to appreciate the lotus in the Furong Garden. During the dinner, he naturally heard about Fang Jun's assassination. He was greatly shocked.The subsequent banquet also had to end hastily because of panic.

Back in the mansion, after bathing and changing clothes, sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, I heard the butler of the mansion talk about the discovery of coin molds in the Qiu family's ancestral house.

Gao Shilian held his teacup in a daze for a long while, then he sighed softly and said, "Is Da Lang in the residence?"

The steward said: "Da Lang went to Furong Garden with his colleagues in the morning, and now he must be having a banquet in a restaurant somewhere in the city."

Gao Shilian rubbed his forehead and said: "Immediately send someone to bring Dalang back. No matter where he is or who he is with, just say that I have something to look for and must return home immediately."

The steward was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Here!"

Turn around and leave in a hurry.

Gao Shilian sat there motionless, closed his eyelids, subconsciously put his right hand on the coffee table, tapped the table with his fingers, and concentrated on thinking.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and let out a breath slowly.

Sitting alone in the flower hall like this, he remained motionless for half an hour until Gao Xing was found...

Gao Xingxing was having a drink with his friends in the Songhe Tower. Hearing that his father was looking for him, he dared not neglect him. He hurried home after pleading guilty with his friends. Beside him, the maid took a sip after serving tea, and asked, "Father is so anxious to call me back, but what is your order?"

At the banquet, Fang Jun's assassination was the only topic of conversation. He guessed that his father had called him back because of this.

Gao Shilian drooped his eyelids and slowly sipped his tea. After a long time, he said abruptly, "Resign from your job in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There is a vacancy in Hengzhou Governor. I would like to say hello to the British Lord. Go to Hengzhou to take up your post. My family is in Changshan Commandery has a deep foundation, which will definitely enable you to make progress in your official career, serve as an official there, accumulate qualifications, and don’t return to Chang’an until the crown prince is enthroned.”

Gao Xing was shocked when he heard the words, and almost choked on a sip of tea, and panicked, "Father, what's the reason?"

Although he is only a Minister of the Ministry of Minbu now, with a rank of the fourth rank, he is only one step away from the position of Shangshu. Now Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Minbu, is old and frail, and has no energy. He is already in a semi-official state. They all believed that he was the leader of the horse, and if there were no accidents, it would be logical for him to take over the post of Minister after Tang Jian retired.

With six books, he has already become the center of the empire and an important minister of the court. With his age and the background of the Gao family, he is just around the corner.

But now his father asked him to go to Hengzhou to work...

Where is Hengzhou?
In the remote place of Hebei Road, when Dou Jiande ran rampant in Hebei and fought fiercely, the whole Hebei Road was covered with bones, and there were no cocks crowing for a hundred miles. Many villages are still "widow villages", and there is no adult man in the whole Zhuangzi. Those places seem to be the governor of a state, but how is it different from denouncing exile?
Poor lands can naturally achieve political achievements, but how can they return to the center without political achievements?

Not to mention the promotion, the performance review of officials every three years, it is difficult to maintain the current rank...

It's totally unacceptable.

Gao Shilian raised his eyelids, stared at Gao Xingshi expressionlessly, and asked word by word: "I'm here to ask you, how deeply are you involved with His Highness King Jing, Qiu Xinggong and others?"

Gao Xing was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "There is nothing involved, it's just that we can usually talk and get closer."

Gao Shilian asked: "Aren't you aware of their secret plans?"

Gao Xing was at a loss: "Planning? What's the plan? The son dare not hide it from his father, and he really doesn't know it at all."

"Humph!"

Gao Shilian snorted angrily, making Gao Xingshi tremble in fright, and then pointed his finger on his forehead, hating his irony and saying: "I only play with those dirty little calculations all day long, what can I accomplish?" Great weapon? In the world, only meritorious achievements are the foundation of one's life. If you have outstanding meritorious achievements, no one will look up to you. How can your majesty not give it to you? How can you not use it? Flying like a dog, working together, even if you succeed for a while, then How can it be long?"

Gao Xing was aggrieved, and said: "What the father said is true, but the son really doesn't know what happened, so what happened to King Jing?"

Gao Shilian glanced at him coldly, and said slowly: "Fang Jun was assassinated, and the Right Guards immediately sealed off the nearby houses and residences. In Qiu Xinggong's ancestral house, traces of setting up the crossbow were found, and then the crossbow was found. Qiu Xinggong couldn't get away from the crossbow and other parts."

Gao Xing naturally heard the news, and said with emotion: "This Qiu Xinggong is really daring. It seems that he still blames Fang Jun for Qiu Shenji's death, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the capital, His Majesty was at Ziyun Tower not far away. , he shot and killed them with the standard crossbow in the army without permission, which is a capital crime at all!"

However, before he finished expressing his emotions, Gao Xingzheng added: "Not only that, when the Right Guards searched for the crossbow, they also found the mold of the coin in Qiu Xinggong's ancestral house. His Majesty was so angry that he ordered Changsun Wuji to be responsible In this case, the Three Jurisdictions of the Supreme Court filed the case for investigation, and we must find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

"hiss--"

Gao Xing took a deep breath and was so frightened that his soul almost flew away: "Mold for minting coins? Damn! Qiu Xinggong is so tired of working, how dare you mint coins privately?"

Although it is a serious crime to assassinate Fang Jun, but Fang Jun is not dead, the crime is lighter. With His Majesty's nostalgic character, he may not be able to do anything about the mastermind behind the scenes. Minting coins... Which emperor can tolerate it?
That is the death penalty for punishing the three clans!

Seeing Gao Shilian's expression, Gao Shilian knew that his guess was right, and immediately shouted angrily: "To this day, you still haven't told the truth to Weifu?"

Gao Xing's face was pale, and he murmured, "This... my son doesn't have much contact with Qiu Xinggong, so how can he tell his son about losing his head?"

"Snapped!"

Gao Shilian was so angry that he threw the tea cup in his hand on Gao Xingxing's head.

Gao Xing was caught off guard, and was beaten until he screamed "Ouch", and the teacup shattered. He held his forehead, feeling warm, and when he touched it with his hand, blood flowed out.

Gao Shilian said angrily: "It's really stupid! Even if no one in my Gao family is an official in the court, the foundation is still solid. As long as you don't make mistakes, who in the world can touch our family? But you are an ignorant idiot who doesn't think about how to make contributions. The Meng family, instead, is fighting with those people with ulterior motives. This world is His Majesty's world. Even if His Majesty is a hundred years later, this world will still belong to Your Highness! All the civil and military courts respect and admire His Majesty. Has this country fallen into the hands of others? You ignorant and ignorant person, you are still not telling the truth at this point, you want to tie our Gao family with you, and finally wipe out the nine clans, and the whole family will be reconciled. Is it?"

Gao Xing was so frightened that he got up from the table, covered his forehead with one hand, knelt down and said, "Father calm down..."
