People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 530 Xiaohan Mountain, Taiyin Palace

At the south gate of Longyou County, beside the Qujiang River, rows of figures were hung high on the city wall.

Under the scorching sun, he was soon dying of the sun.

"Here is a clan of Longyou He, who has run rampant in the countryside for several years, bullying men and women, killing people, colluding with subordinate officials, occupying fields, and evading taxes by hundreds of thousands. Now they are sentenced to confiscation of family property, and 18 adult males Sentenced to hanging for seven days and flown for two thousand miles, the women of the family were sentenced to find another husband and remarry, and the children's surnames were changed..."

A tolerance man in soap clothes stood at the gate of the city, and loudly recited the punishment imposed on the He family by the government.

The people passing by all pointed at the dying He family, their eyes were full of hatred and contempt.

Some people have even clenched the eggs in their hands.

……

On the top of the city gate, Li Xuan was wearing a scarlet official gown, leaning forward slightly, as if listening to the people's cursing at the He family.

After a long time, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look aside.

Di Chang, the magistrate of Longyou County, was already sweating profusely, standing beside Li Xuan tremblingly.

Behind him, many officials and family heads in Longyou County were all trembling.

"Magistrate Di, do you know why this king asked you to watch this execution here for days?" Li Xuan's voice was very calm.

"The lower officials know that the king wants the lower officials and others. Take this as a warning and don't repeat the same mistakes." Di Chang touched the cold sweat on his forehead. As the magistrate of Longyou County, he still has three points of quick wit.

"Oh!" Li Xuan chuckled disdainfully, and then said lightly: "This king did this to let you all listen to the people's scolding, and let this king listen to the people's scolding, so I am sure I didn't do anything. Wrong; also listen to how the people will revil you once you fall into this situation."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan looked to the side. A Facao Langzhong wearing a green official robe put a stack of papers filled with densely packed small characters on the table. The county magistrate Di Chang who was standing nearby saw these words, His complexion couldn't help but change.

"This is the people's complaints collected by the king in the past few days. I hope that the county magistrate Di will deal with it properly. Otherwise, the king will send this thing." Li Xuan said, and took a memorial from his sleeve. Put it on the desk case, then raised his eyes to look at Di Chang: "Let's take a look!"

"I don't dare!" Di Chang subconsciously took a step back, his face full of fear, he didn't even dare to lift his head.

"This is a bullet. It impeaches you to be a foolish official and disrespects the common people." Li Xuan looked back at the people outside Longyou City, and said in a deep voice: "This king can send it to the capital of God, or you can send it to the gods." It will be handed over to those who join the army, or you can put it here, you choose."

The corner of Di Chang's mouth twitched slightly, he looked up at the petition on the table, bowed and said, "Your official knows what to do."

"En!" Li Xuan stood up and said, "I'm going back to the station to rest first, and you can deal with the rest."

"No!" Di Chang bowed slightly, and when he stood up, Li Xuan had already walked away.

Only then did Di Chang realize that the memorial was still on the table.

Subconsciously, he stepped forward and opened the memorial.

Snow white, without a word.

Seeing this scene, Di Chang let out a long sigh of relief, but immediately, his expression became serious, he turned to look at the officials in his hand and the patriarchs of the Longyou family, and said through gritted teeth: "Go back to Yamen, Ascension."

……

In Xiyuan, Longyou Station, a small river flows slowly into the Qujiang River.

A black boat sailed slowly on the small river.

The small river is quiet, and there is no one in the surrounding fields.

The awning boat slowly tried to sail into a small courtyard with two entrances next to Xiyuan.

The black-covered boat stopped, and three figures wearing black hats alighted from the boat, and were quickly led into the courtyard.

In the innermost underground secret room, just as the three figures entered, they saw Li Xuan standing inside, wearing an azure brocade robe, looking at a landscape painting on the wall.

The bright moon shines among the pines, the clear spring stones flow upwards, the bamboo noise returns to Huannu, and the lotus moves down the fishing boat.

"The three of you are here. Everything has been arranged properly?" Li Xuan turned around and took off the black hats on the three figures. They were Zhang Wanyu, Ye Wanwan and He Qing'er.

The three of them wore black gauze skirts. Standing in front of Ye Wanwan and He Qing'er, Zhang Wanyu cupped her hands and said to Li Xuan, "We have already settled down at Tongba Mountain in Raozhou, but the king won't let me wait with you." The churches are in contact with each other, so there is a shortage of food and other daily necessities in the mountains."

Many days have passed, and Zhang Wanyu brought the cronies who left the main altar of Tianyin Sect with her, and they have been completely resettled in Tongba Mountain, Raozhou, Jiangyou, according to Li Xuan's original instructions.

It is located in the intersection zone of Zhejiang, Min, Jiangxi and Huizhou. There has been no control in the past dynasties, and bandits in the mountains and fields are rampant.

"You are not allowed to contact the congregation, I just don't want you to fall into the eyes of the government too early." Li Xuan motioned the three of them to sit down, then took out a stack of identity documents from his sleeve and handed them over.

Li Xuan looked up, looked at Zhang Wanyu, who had a serious face and a trace of worry on her delicate face, and said seriously: "From today onwards, the Tianyin Sect will be completely gone, and you will use this to do things in the south in the future." new identity."

"Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace?" Zhang Wanyu looked at the identity disc given by Li Xuan with some surprise. It turned out that there were some certificates of women's crowns in it, and they all had the seal of Chongxuan Department of Zongzheng Temple.

"From now on, you are all the female crowns of Taiyin Palace in Xiaohan Mountain. From now on, Tongba Mountain will be renamed Xiaohan Mountain. If anyone asks, they will say that you are from the Old Mother's Palace in Lishan, Hongzhou, and came to Raozhou under the order of your teacher." Preaching, respecting the old mother of Lishan, the Taiyin Emperor and Cihang Daoist as patriarchs, blessings and auspiciousness, and praying for peace, the former believers can be absorbed as believers of Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a while, and said: "The Chongxuan Department will send an official document to the Raozhou Governor's Office, and the Raozhou Governor's Office will fully cooperate...cooperate with you to eliminate the influence of Tianyin Sect in the local area."

Zhang Wanyu frowned, and immediately said understandingly: "This subordinate understands."

From now on, they are all members of the imperial court, and the imperial court was placed in the southeast to clean up the chess pieces affected by the Tianyin sect.

"Stop spreading slogans like wishing for light, to avoid being targeted again, first spread the influence of Emperor Tianyin, attract enough followers, and collect information from the local government at the same time, if there are governors who are fatuous and greedy Wudao, send a letter to the king immediately, and the king will immediately send someone to impeach, so that you can also secretly show your influence in the court in the eyes of the local people."

Li Xuan told Zhang Wanyu word by word, Zhang Wanyu nodded seriously.

"From now on, Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace, Wan'er, you will be the owner of the palace." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu, Zhang Wanyu nodded seriously: "Here!"

Li Xuan looked at Ye Wanwan and said softly: "Although the Tianyin Sect has become history in the south, in the north, the East Sea King and the others will still use this title, and I will leave it to you to contact the East Sea King and the others in the future." gone."

Ye Wanwan couldn't help biting her lips, but she still nodded in response: "Here!"

"Your Majesty, who is the King of the East China Sea?" He Qing'er who was behind couldn't help asking.

"I have only a guess as to who it is, and it has not been confirmed, and before you meet the King of the Eastern Sea, it is inappropriate for you to know his identity, so as not to reveal your flaws when you meet in the future." Li Xuan was very cautious.

"Your Majesty is talking about my trip to Chang'an in three months' time?" Zhang Wanyu answered immediately.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, in three months' time, you will go to Chang'an to meet the King of the East China Sea."

"That is to say, after three months, the King of the East China Sea will be in Chang'an?" Zhang Wanyu asked immediately.

Although they are followers of Li Xuan, they all have independent thoughts and the ability to stand alone.

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded affirmatively.

"Then what if we go to Chang'an earlier?"

"If the king's guess is correct, no matter when you go, you can see him in Chang'an."

"So, he has always been in Chang'an, and he couldn't help himself, so he couldn't go south many times?"

"Yes, this is why this king guessed his identity." Li Xuan sighed softly.

He always thought that the King of the East China Sea was the King of Cao Li Ming, but when the Empress told Ye Wanwan and the others to go to Chang'an to find the King of the East China Sea in three months, one of the first suspicious candidates suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's mind. middle.

Especially when Li Xuan reminisced about his life, his complexion was terrible and embarrassing.

"Then the empress?" Zhang Wanyu couldn't help looking at Li Xuan.

"Let's talk one by one." Li Xuan turned around and walked into the inner room.

Zhang Wanyu was the first to follow, Ye Wanwan and He Qing'er were a little curious, but they didn't follow either.

The inner room was empty, only a round table, two stools, and a bed.

Sitting at the round table, Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu solemnly, and said, "The Empress originally planned to use feigned death to escape, but her method of feigning death failed to fool Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen... Maybe, this book It was her plan from the beginning, to use herself to attract the attention of the government, but she will always hide underground and never contact you again, just like what she told you at the beginning..."

"So, she died." Zhang Wanyu's eyes were calm and terrifying.

Li Xuan was able to say so many things that were almost the truth, and it was self-evident what the ending would be.

"Sorry, we met on a narrow road, only one person can survive." Li Xuan sighed softly, he didn't want to hide this matter from Zhang Wanyu.

He told Zhang Wanyu some of the details, and Zhang Wanyu frowned after listening to this, and asked, "She abandoned her own body, and lives alone with the Yang God?"

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded affirmatively, and then asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"All along, she has actually cared about her brother the most. Before the accident, she sent him to Tubo to completely break away from his relationship with the Tianyin Sect. Wanwan and I, we are nothing more than brothers. It's just a cover." Zhang Wanyu showed a trace of sadness on her face, and then said softly: "If you die, you will die."

Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan. Although her face was pretending to be firm, she couldn't hide the sadness deep in her eyes.

After all, the empress is her aunt, the one who raised her up.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Cry if you want to cry, the Tianyin Sect has come to an end, if you cry once, you will bid farewell to the past."

"Woo!" Zhang Wanyu finally couldn't help crying in Li Xuan's arms.

Li Xuan's clothes were wet from crying, and her own clothes were also wet from crying...
