Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3081 Royal Disgrace

That night, the "Hundred Cavalry Division" scouts and cavalry came out together, killing and arresting them, causing panic in Chang'an City, and they were at a loss as to what happened.

It was not until dawn that all kinds of turmoil and chaos ended, and people's hearts stabilized when the city gates were opened and people and merchants came in and out freely.

It's just that there are still people with good things running around to investigate. What happened last night?

After all, the "Hundred Riders" who exist to protect the imperial power are His Majesty Li Er's number one "hawks and dogs". They don't care about corruption or unjust cases, and only participate in all crimes that may endanger the imperial power.Against such a background, the "Hundred Knights" arrested them wantonly, who was arrested, and why?
As a result, the ruling and opposition parties kept their mouths shut on those who knew the inside story, which made the public opinion that had calmed down even more, and gradually threatened to turmoil...

Fortunately, the "Hundred Riders" quickly understood the situation, and quickly dispatched soldiers to interview and warn those inquisitors one by one, which made this trend suppressed.

By the time Fang Jun returned to the city with his troops, the city of Chang'an had already returned to its former prosperity, singing and dancing.

He did not go back to the mansion, but went directly to the military office in the imperial city.

Now that the Eastern Expedition is in full swing, the transportation of food, fodder and supplies, and the allocation of soldiers and troops are all on the shoulders of the Ministry of War, and we dare not be negligent, otherwise, if it affects the Eastern Expedition, let alone whether His Majesty Li Er will only send him back when he comes back. Roast them and eat them, but Fang Jun didn't dare to be distracted just because the Liaodong battlefield was likely to suffer a big defeat.

In the entire court, only he knows the outcome of this battle in history, so he has the most sense of crisis.

When I arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, I just wore a normal uniform, first went to greet His Royal Highness King Jin who came early every day, and then returned to my duty room to start handling official duties.

At the same time, officials from top to bottom of the Ministry of War began to appear in his office in an endless stream, and while delivering official duties, they also reported the situation in Beijing and China in detail.

Especially the chaotic situation in Beijing last night...

King Jiang An's son was also taken away?
Fang Jun brewed a pot of tea between his official duties, rested his wrists, and sipped the tea to meditate.But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any outrageous things that Wei Hongguang and Li Yuanxiang's son could do together.But if it wasn't for the great treason, how could Wei Hongguang commit suicide in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, and how could King Jiang An's son be implicated?

I couldn't help laughing bitterly, these young people are really daring, and the things they are playing with have probably reached an unbelievable level...

There were soft footsteps outside the door, Jin Wang Li Zhi looked around, saw Fang Jun drinking tea, and walked in, he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law was not in Beijing last night?"

Fang Jun had a headache.

This His Highness looks honest, but he has a lot of tricks. For example, he calls him "Yue Guogong" for a while, and "brother-in-law" for a while.Generally speaking, when talking about official affairs, you call him a title, and when you chat privately, you call your brother-in-law to show your closeness.

Li Zhi can switch between the two titles and the two attitudes at will. Sometimes it is clear that he is talking about official business, but when he changes the subject, he will say "brother-in-law", which makes Fang Jun difficult to resist...

Inviting Li Zhi to sit down, Fang Jun poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and replied: "I went out of the city last night to inspect the Foundry Bureau, so I was not in the capital. Unexpectedly, there was chaos in the capital. May I ask Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, the 'Baiqisi' blocked the four gates in the evening and strictly prohibited entry and exit, and then began beating and arresting people in the city, and now he is caught by the 'Baiqisi' in the prison There are already six people. It doesn't seem like a lot, but if the brother-in-law knows that there are many clans including Li Xian, the seventh son of King Jiang'an, and Li Ting, the grandson of the King of Xiangyi County, he will know that the matter is extremely serious. But until now,' Baiqisi's side has never given the reason for the arrest."

He was also a little worried.

He really wanted to compete for the crown prince position, and he wished that there would be some chaos in Chang'an City at this time to prove the prince's lack of control ability.But he definitely didn't want to cause too much trouble at this time. After all, Tuyuhun was ready to move and had a rebellious heart. If there was a major incident in Beijing, it would directly affect the rule of the empire.

Fang Jun took a sip of his tea and said indifferently: "Didn't you just unblock the four gates in the morning? That means it doesn't matter too much. 'Baiqisi' has always been very reliable in doing things. Li Junxian It is also very stable, Your Highness does not need to worry too much."

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Even the clan's children have been arrested, and there are also children from various families, but now they have not even been charged with a crime. How can this make people feel at ease?"

During the father's expedition to Liaodong, the troops in Guanzhong were empty, Tuyuhun was ready to move, and Tubo was eyeing him. If there is trouble in Chang'an at this time, it may directly affect the rule of the empire.Li Zhi wanted to compete for the heir apparent because he wanted to be the emperor himself. How could he see the empire fall into turmoil?

But Fang Jun didn't think so, and comforted him: "Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient. Not only will Chang'an City not be chaotic, after this incident, it will scare those who have ulterior motives and dare not do things in secret. It may not be a good thing." Woolen cloth."

*****
Just as Fang Jun said, there was a lot of turmoil in Chang'an City that night, and many people were frightened into silence.

Among them is King Jing Li Yuanjing...

Li Yuanjing didn't go to bed all night, sitting in the flower hall, he assigned all the people under his command to inquire about the news from all sides, trying to understand the reason why "Baiqisi" suddenly attacked.

There is no way, he is the one who has a guilty conscience and said that his buttocks are not clean, but if there is trouble, he is worried about whether his actions will be found out by others...

However, until dawn, except for the fact that several children were arrested by the "Baiqisi", the reason is not known at all.

How can this make Li Yuanjing feel at ease?
In desperation, she could only beg Dong Mingyue to mobilize her secret agents to find out the news...

Dong Mingyue sat in the flower hall with a pretty face like a flower and a gentle expression, which was in stark contrast to Li Yuanjing who was restless.

She said softly: "Why is your lord so worried? You have not done anything other than two private meetings with Duke Qiao recently, so the actions of 'Baiqisi' will naturally not have anything to do with your lord. Maybe it's just that the children of those aristocratic families have done something vicious."

Li Yuanjing grimaced and said: "Malignant? You said lightly, what kind of viciousness can make the 'Baiqisi' brazenly block the four gates and arrest them at such an unstable situation?"

Dong Mingyue was also a little speechless.

These words still make sense, what kind of place is 'Baiqisi'?If the lackeys of the emperor and the hawks of the imperial power had not involved the survival of the country and the stability of the imperial power, how could they act in such a high-profile manner?

Even if a group of children from aristocratic families get into trouble and go to the sky, there is no need to send out "Hundred Riders" to deal with them...

Fortunately, it didn't take long before news came back.

The secret work under Dong Mingyue's hands is very secretive. Some people even lurk in Chang'an for more than ten or twenty years. These are the foundation of her standing, so she will not easily appear in front of Li Yuanjing, and what she handed over is just a secret letter.

There is no reason why "Baiqisi" was killed and arrested on the secret letter, but there is a guess.

"Li Xian actually brought his old friends to Ganye Temple to visit his grandmother, Concubine Yang..." Li Yuanjing almost popped his eyes when he read this line.

Who is that Yang Pin?The concubine of Emperor Gaozu, the daughter of Yang Su, the former Duke of Yue in the Sui Dynasty, is now leading the cultivation practice in Ganye Temple.This was the royal rule of the Sui and Tang dynasties. After the death of the emperor, except for a few concubines who were buried with him, all the others were sent to Ganye Temple to lead their cultivation.

After all, although the emperor was not young when he died, there were many concubines in the palace, big and small.When the emperor was alive, because of his limited energy, he made these concubines in the palace "cold and lonely".

The seven emotions and six desires are the duty of a human being. Without the restraint of the emperor, who can guarantee that these beautiful women can endure loneliness?
In ordinary families, wives and concubines can remarry after the death of their husbands, but for the royal family, this is absolutely impossible.

The woman who used to be an emperor is tactful and courteous under another man... Do you want the emperor's face?
Ganye Temple is such a place where the emperor's concubines are guarded.

Generally speaking, men are strictly prohibited from entering here.But in the end, humanity cannot be destroyed. Those old concubines are running out of time, so they must allow their descendants to visit from time to time, right?
Li Yuanjing envied and exclaimed: "Mother! These bastards are too good at playing..."
