Datang Nongwang

Chapter 868 Assassination
Chang'an's ruthless man was not his turn to Li Chongyuan before.

Even if Li Chongyuan crippled Cui Tong, the magistrate of Chang'an, with the reputation of being a ruthless man in Chang'an, it was still not Li Chongyuan's turn to sit.

but.

Li Chongyuan mutilated several of them one after another, and even mutilated two of them in the court. This is probably something that no one has done, let alone dared to do.

But Li Chongyuan did it, and he did it thoroughly.

Even the son of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the court, was disabled. This is really No. 1 in the past and present, so this also made the people of Chang'an City gather together after hearing what happened in the court hall, talking this matter.

You say one, I say two.

And this time.

In the main family's residence, Li Chongji's brothers, Li Xiaogong and his son sat in the hall one after another, waiting for the old lady to deal with this matter.

The Li Chongji brothers who came back from the court can be said to be the fourth younger brothers who are most worried about themselves.

after all.

Whether Li Chongyuan's official position in the Li family, or his title, he is the highest.

If Li Chongyuan fell, it would be extremely difficult for the Li family to get up in the future.

Even the uncle Li Xiaogong was worried that after Li Chongyuan fell down, it would be extremely difficult for him to climb to a high position again.

Li Xiaogong is most aware of the dangers in this court, and he knows that most of the people in this court want to kill Li Chongyuan, or get out of Chang'an.

At the same time, he also knew that since Li Chongyuan wanted to return the county magistrate Zhong Ji to the people, all court officials began to plan, thinking about how to kill Li Chongyuan.

Zhong Ji, who was just a trivial matter to them, was dismissed from his post and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In fact, Zhong Ji will never be able to re-enter an official career in his life, and he will be dispatched thousands of miles away.

What Li Chongyuan did was to disrupt the unspoken rules of the entire officialdom, and even in the future, it might even overthrow the entire officialdom.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan's approach has been approved by the current Holy Master, and this is what they are afraid of.

Any high-yield grains, compared with this matter, can be put aside.

For example, once Li Chongyuan fulfills the post of Minister of Justice, all the officials can think of their own ending.

As for Li Chongyuan's uprightness, straightforwardness, and the nature of not seeing any common people being bullied, they can be said to have studied it thoroughly.

For example, if Li Chongyuan really took the position of Minister of Justice, they would definitely know where their future path lies, and even more so, whether there is anything under their ass.

to this end.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan finally made a mistake this time, the officials will definitely spare no effort to severely suppress Li Chongyuan.

Even if Li Chongyuan cannot be killed, they will unite and drive Li Chongyuan out of Chang'an.

Only in this way, it is impossible to fulfill the post of Minister of Justice.

As for what Li Shimin thought, they were not worried at all.

There are many people, this is their reliance.

After all, that's how they came here in the past.

The old lady sat at the head of the hall, and closed her eyes after listening to everyone's words.

After a long time, the old lady's eyes suddenly opened slightly, a smile seemed to hang on her face, after glancing at everyone, she turned to Li Xiaogong and said, "Brother, do you think Yuan'er being imprisoned by the sage in Dali Temple is a good thing or a bad thing? "

"Brothers and sisters, could it be that the Holy One did it on purpose?" Li Xiaogong suddenly saw a faint smile on the old lady's face, and after thinking for a long time, he asked a little uncertainly.

The old lady nodded lightly, "I think so. Yuan'er was unhappy because Xu Jingzong and others conspired to frame him. Xu Jingzong was disabled at the time, and he didn't care that Fang Yiyi was the son of the old thief Fang. It caused him to be disabled for life. The Holy Majesty did not blame Yuan Er for disabling Xu Jingzong before, but Fang Yiyi was the son of the old thief Fang. In order to lose the heart of the old thief Fang, the Holy Majesty had to do this. First, it was for The old thief Fang is also Zhou Huyuan'er. Thinking about it, this is also the intention of the Holy One."

"My younger brother and sister analyzed it. At that time, I was also nervous that Yuan'er was thrown into Dali Temple to suffer, and I wanted to intercede for Yuan'er. But after the analysis of my younger brother and sister, it was reasonable. However, after Yuan'er was thrown into Dali Temple , Yuan'er may take a while to be employed." After listening to the old lady's explanation, Li Xiaogong felt it should be so.

The old lady smiled and said: "This matter is up to the two of you. If the Holy Majesty can't bear the pressure of the court officials and has to punish Yuan'er, at most he will just remove Yuan'er from the position of Minister of Agriculture. .As for the Secretary of Justice above Yuan Er, I'm sure His Majesty won't get rid of him."

"Why?" Li Xiaogong was puzzled.

The old lady replied indifferently: "It's easy to say. The Holy Majesty appointed Yuan'er as the Minister of Justice. Ren Yuan'er had been away from Chang'an for nearly a year, and he ignored the Judicial Temple. This is why the Holy Majesty wanted to see the court officials. Response. Moreover, Yuaner once told me that the Holy Majesty had listened to his opinion before advocating the construction of Judicial Temple. According to the regulations of the imperial court, with Yuaner's seniority and age, how can he be qualified to be a second-ranker? The position of Minister of Justice. Moreover, Yuaner also said that he wrote a constitution of the Tang Dynasty during this period, which was for the purpose of preparing for the construction of the Judicial Temple. The Holy One put Yuaner into the Dali Temple at this time, even if everyone The officials of the court are going to make a joint report saying that they want to punish Yuan Er's crimes, so I'm afraid they won't be able to go to the position of Minister of Justice."

"Furthermore, with Yuan'er's ingenuity, he must know that the Holy Majesty did this on purpose. Otherwise, Yuan'er should make a big fuss when the Holy Majesty said he would take him down and throw him into Dali Temple." How could he be sent to Dali Temple so honestly?"

"Besides, in the morning, I heard Steward Qi report that when Yuan'er came to court this morning, he still had the emperor's imperial edict in his arms. Although I don't know what was written on the imperial edict handed over to Yuan'er by the emperor , but from this incident, one can guess that Yuan'er was prepared to leave."

After Li Xiaogong listened, his eyes widened.

And Li Chongji and others are even more so.

As for Li Chongzhen who was staying at the side, after listening to the old lady's words, he couldn't help asking curiously in his heart: "Auntie, since the cousin has the imperial edict from his uncle, why didn't he show it on the spot. In this case, it is also possible It saves you from going to jail, and you can watch the jokes of those people."

"You are still too young to know how to mess around. However, your messing around this time has really done your cousin a big favor." The old lady pointed to Li Chongzhen.

Seeing his son interjecting, Li Xiaogong gave Li Chongzhen a hard look.

The imperial decree of the Supreme Emperor must not be taken out by the court.

Li Chongzhen asked this, which shows that he is really too young.

How can anyone take out the imperial decree of the previous emperor to read in front of the current emperor.

If Li Chongyuan really took out Li Yuan's imperial decree, wouldn't he slap Li Shimin in the face on the spot.

Even if Li Shimin didn't have any ideas, the officials must have ideas. Maybe Li Chongyuan would have to fall into a cycle of criticism again.

What's more, there will be more memorials presented to Li Shimin's desk.

Li Chongyuan was not stupid, he naturally knew the emperor's decree and could not be used by the court.

The relationship between Li Yuan and his son finally eased up a bit. If Li Chongyuan came out with Li Yuan's imperial decree, wouldn't that just intensify the conflict between them.

to this end.

Even when Li Shimin said he wanted to capture Li Chongyuan and imprison him in Dali Temple, Li Chongyuan did not come up with an imperial edict.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan himself didn't know what was written on the edict that Li Yuan gave him, so what was the use of taking it out at that time.

The old lady didn't seem to be worried about Li Chongyuan at all.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time was extremely leisurely.

Li Chongyuan in the cell asked the jailer to get him something to eat. While eating, he sang a ditty and looked at Zheng Wu who was in the opposite cell and said sarcastic remarks, "I said Zheng Wu, Xue Bao Ah, oh, and your school lieutenant named Jiang Fu. I really don’t know how you have the guts to challenge Li Chongyuan with me. It’s all right now, I know what it’s like to be locked up. But don’t worry, I, Li Chongyuan, can be quite talkative, no matter what crime the Holy Majesty will punish you, I, Li Chongyuan, will only let you lie in bed for the rest of your life like Xu Jingzong, and will not take your life."

Zheng Wu and the others diagonally opposite were extremely nervous at the moment.

Being imprisoned in Dali Temple is enough for them to drink a pot.What's more, the truth was revealed at that time, and they already knew what the future would be like.

But at this time, Li Chongyuan said that he wanted to beat them like Xu Jingzong, which made them involuntarily shrink back.

In the next two days.

Although Li Chongyuan was imprisoned in the cell of Dali Temple, but with Li Zhao as a young minister, it was as if Li Chongyuan had come to the cell of Dali Temple for vacation.

As for Dali Siqing, it seems that there is no such thing as even the other Shaoqing, who seems to be very shrewd, and doesn't want to get involved in this incident that will cause a whole body of trouble.

In these two days.

Ever since Fang Yiyi was carried out of the palace and sent to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment that failed, he was carried back home by Fang Xuanling. He kept yelling and cursing every day, and even uttered nonsense, trying to kill Li Chongyuan and so on.

But Fang Xuanling sighed long and short when he saw his son became like this.

In the past two days, he has often gone to the gate of the palace city to ask to see Li Shimin, and he has made up his mind to kill Li Chongyuan.

But for the past two days, Li Shimin has never seen Fang Xuanling except for the court meeting.

Fang Yiyi was crippled by Li Chongyuan's dynasty. As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling begged to see Li Shimin but could not see him. His wife, Lu Shi, cried every day, saying how Fang Xuanling was.

No, at this moment, the Lu family talked about Fang Xuanling again, "Fang Qiao, if you don't avenge your legacy, you will be a father in vain."

"Ma'am, if the Holy Majesty refuses to see me, what can I do? Besides, Yiyi was involved in the matter of Li Chongyuan's siege. Even in the court, I can't mention it. I just want to discuss it privately." Go here to see the Holy One." Fang Xuanling knew this and sighed inwardly.

However, his wife refused, "Fang Qiao, since you don't even care about your son, then leave this matter alone. I will avenge this myself."

"Ma'am, don't act recklessly. There is no need to rush this matter. You have to take it easy." After Fang Xuanling heard what his wife said, she was worried that her fiery temper might have missed the big deal.

Lu snorted coldly at her husband, continued to wipe away tears, crying, but was thinking of a solution in her heart.

one afternoon.

After Fang Xuanling went to the Yamen, Lu called his other son Fang Yiai, "Yi Ai, your fourth brother has become like this, as an older brother, shouldn't you avenge your fourth brother?"

"Mother, please order, as long as you give the order, mother, I will lead someone into the prison of Dali Temple and kill Li Chongyuan to avenge my fourth brother." Of course Fang Yiai wanted to avenge his fourth brother.

Lu Shi nodded after hearing this, and then confessed Yunyun to Fang Yiai.

Another day and night.

In the prison of Dali Temple, under an oil lamp, Li Chongyuan was writing something intently with a pen in his hand.

At this time, the prison door suddenly creaked open.

The sound of the door opening made Li Chongyuan's brows twitch suddenly, he stopped writing, and roared without turning his head: "Didn't I just say that, don't make any noise, otherwise, it will disturb my writing, and be careful what I get when I go out." kill you."

There are three guards on duty in the prison, and a jailer on duty.

It was night again at this time, and the prison door opened. The sound was already unpleasant, so it didn't bother Li Chongyuan.

But Li Chongyuan didn't know that the three jailers and Yi Na Prisoner were already lying on the table, and they didn't seem to be awake at all.

After Li Chongyuan roared, he continued to write.

However, after Li Chongyuan wrote, the sound of footsteps came from far to near.

This made Li Chongyuan have to stop writing again after hearing the crackling sound, and turned his head to look outside the cell.

Li Chongyuan looked up and saw a jailer slowly walking towards the door of his cell, feeling very upset, "Didn't you hear what I said!"

However, Li Chongyuan's roar did not stop the jailer.

Seeing the jailer coming to the door of his cell, Li Chongyuan became more and more upset, and got up straight away, glaring at the jailer.

On the other hand, the jailer looked at Li Chongyuan with a look of death on his face.

Li Chongyuan saw that the jailer didn't seem to be the guard on duty in the cell, and he hadn't seen this jailer in the past few days. He felt a little curious, but at the same time he was a little more vigilant, and he stretched his hand to his waist involuntarily.

at this time.

The jailer suddenly raised his hand, facing Li Chongyuan who was in the cell.

Li Chongyuan saw that the jailer was acting abnormally, and he was already vigilant. When the jailer raised his hand, Li Chongyuan knew something wrong, so he rolled on a donkey and rolled under the table.

After the sound of '咻', an arrow shot straight at the place where Li Chongyuan was standing just now.

Li Chongyuan, who was rolling on the donkey, heard the sound of arrows, and felt nervous. He kicked the table over and hid behind the table, secretly thinking that someone was going to assassinate him.

Assassinating himself in Dali Temple made Li Chongyuan realize immediately that this Dali Temple is not a safe place, and immediately shouted, "There are assassins, there are assassins!"

but.

No matter how Li Chongyuan shouted his throat, there was no sound of rescue from the guards and others outside the prison.
