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

Chapter 724 Passing the Oral Order of the Queen of Heaven: Sent to Qianniu Prison for Conspiracy

In the bright hall, Zhao Gong raised his head, looked at old eunuch Xu, and said calmly: "Old Xu, what should be said, Mr. Zhao has already finished talking, and everyone present, Mr. Zhao has done his best. If the two If no one came out within ten breaths, then Zhao had no choice but to hand everything over to the King of Nanchang.

Presumably, you can also see clearly that King Nanchang's murderous intentions are so heavy that Zhao is already trying his best to suppress it, and it is almost impossible to suppress it. "

With Zhao Gong's fluttering sound, everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan in an instant.

Wearing a long robe with gold silk on a black background, Li Xuan stood upright. She stood there with her hand on the Eight-Faced Han Sword, her face extremely indifferent.

Especially since Zhao Gong entered Qinxiang Garden, Li Xuan didn't say anything more.

The Qianniu Dao pulled out by a dozen Qianniu Guards behind him was so cold that everyone couldn't help being surprised.

This is their last chance.

Thirteen Niang looked up at Old Eunuch Xu with a very nervous expression on her face.

Now in this building, apart from those officials, only their people are left.

Their people, of course, rely on the palace, and the representative of the palace is the old eunuch Xu who was released from the palace a few years ago.

Not only them, but also all the officials in the building, the only thing they can count on now is the palace.

The king of Nanchang obeyed the emperor's imperial decree, and Zhao Gong had an oral order from the queen of heaven, but no matter how much the two talked, they didn't produce anything in their hands. As long as the old eunuch Xu died, they would be sure, and they would use their official positions and family background to stand up for it. Force the king of Nanchang out of Qinxiang Garden.

After all, Qinxiangyuan is not easy to mess with. Apart from the countless secret agencies, there are also many masters here.

As long as Old Eunuch Xu stands firm, they will dare to support Old Eunuch Xu.

Between life and death, who can care so much.

Among these people, Thirteen Niang most hoped that the old eunuch Xu would stand firm, because once the King of Nanchang checked Qinxiangyuan today, the golden body of Qinxiangyuan would be broken, and no one would come here again.

In this way, the Thirteenth Niang, who is in charge of Qinxiangyuan, will be just a Thirteenth Niang in the future, and anyone can directly crush her to death.

Old eunuch Xu's eyes moved away from Zhao Gong's body, and fell on the hands of Li Xuan who looked indifferent.

The old eunuch Xu's eyes fixed on Li Xuan's right hand, which was clenched tightly on the hilt of the sword, calm and firm, as if the sword would be unsheathed in the next moment, drinking blood to kill.

Taking a deep breath, the old eunuch Xu turned his head to look at Zhao Gong, and finally said: "Mr. Zhao, this old man is still in the palace, and he has a adopted son."

"Minister Inspector Xu Zhong." Zhao Gong raised his head, looked at Old Eunuch Xu with pity on his face, and said softly: "When Zhao left the palace, the Young Inspector was slapped by the Queen of Heaven."

With Zhao Gong's words, the old eunuch Xu's face changed instantly, all the strength in the old eunuch Xu's body disappeared in an instant, he waved his hand weakly, and said: "Listen to the order."

In a word, the official who couldn't bear it long ago walked down the stairs on one side, and then bowed deeply to Li Xuan and Zhao Gong.

Not everyone here has connections with Tubo, and not everyone here is guilty. If they had a choice, they would naturally not want to confront the court.

Li Xuan stared straight ahead, without looking at anyone, but said softly: "It's really a pity, if you wait a little longer, I will be benevolent, so that I can add all kinds of crimes of collusion to the enemy." Everyone, and the family behind you."

As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, the faces of the people who were still on the stairs suddenly changed.

It turned out that the King of Nanchang didn't care about their family background at all, and even used the name of collaborating with the enemy to link everything to the family behind them.

Li Xuan couldn't be more aware of the way the aristocratic family handles affairs, and it's useless to back down.

If you back down a step, they will immediately bully you for countless steps. Only when you beat them hard, will they know how to back down.

Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian, Li Zhong, the three deposed princes.

I don't know how many aristocratic families have bet on them, and once the bets fail and implicate rebellion, the aristocratic families will immediately throw away all the pawns they bet on.

Just like these people in front of them, if they are really labeled as collaborators and killed, then the family behind them will definitely be the ones who will kick them into the abyss the fastest.

A group of people quickly came down from upstairs. There were Shaofu Cheng, Dali Sizhi, Guozi Assistant Teacher, and Secretary Lang, who were not very high-ranking officials, but were born in a great family and were really short of money.

There are also officials in key positions such as the arsenal department, Taichang Cheng, Zuo Lang, Guozi Doctor, Shi Yushi, Shangshu, and even Zhongshu Sheren. If the killed disciples are added to the matter, Characters such as the exiled prince, the secretary, and the young eunuch.

There are definitely many middle-level bureaucrats involved in the entire Qinxiang Garden.

Li Xuan couldn't help being a little disappointed. Although there were many middle-level bureaucrats, there were none of the real high-level figures such as ministers of various ministries and ministers of temples.

But it's normal to think about it, such characters already have their own stable faction power, and they don't need to conduct secret transactions through this kind of place.

What's more, after reaching a certain level, one naturally knows the relationship between this Qinxiang Garden and the palace.

They really want to come in and out of here clearly. Once they are caught by their opponents, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.

Unless someone is forced to the point of no choice and comes here to seek cooperation.

That's where people are really staring.

……

"Cui Sheren!" Li Xuan put her hands on the hilt of the Eight-Faced Han Sword, and her indifferent eyes fell on Cui Fan, the person from Zhongshushe.

Li Xuan waved her hand to the back, and the next moment, a Qianniuwei stepped forward and handcuffed the iron cuffs directly to Cui Fan's hands.

"King of Nanchang!" Cui Fan's expression suddenly changed.

The other people present couldn't help breathing heavily when they saw this scene.

Cui Fan, who was born in the Boling Cui family, is the most powerful and most important official among them.

The official position of Zhongshusheren allows him to have access to the prime ministers and ministers at any time. He participates in every court meeting, and occasionally even takes the place of the living minister, recording the emperor's words and deeds, oral and written edicts Write.

He held a very powerful position, but now he was directly handcuffed by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at the extremely angry Cui Fan calmly, and said in a cold voice: "Tian Hou ordered: there are officials in Qinxiang Garden who are immoral, make false comments on government affairs, and slander the empress. Arrest all the people in Qinxiang Garden, so as to conspire against them and send them to Qianniu Prison."

As if a basin of cold water was poured directly from the top of his head, Cui Fan froze in place.

Everyone else present was also stunned.

Conspiracy, Qianniu prison.

In an instant, they immediately understood that they had avoided a bloody massacre.

The King of Nanchang just said so many words, and even kept inciting their emotions, just waiting for these people to be unable to bear it, and join forces with Qinxiangyuan to attack Qianniu Guard, so that Qianniu Guard can have no scruples. A killing spree.

Originally, what Li Xuan said just now was true.

He really planned to kill people just now, and he started killing people.

In the minds of everyone present, a picture of everyone rushing forward and the Qianniu Guards' crossbows ruthlessly reaping the blows suddenly appeared.

"Everyone who comes will be sent to Qianniu Prison for strict inspection." Li Xuan turned to look at everyone, then pressed on Cui Fan's shoulder and said softly: "Cui Sheren, I know that you usually There is a secret place to meet here, now, please lead the way."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the pale-faced Thirteen Niangs and Old Eunuch Xu on the steps above.

Discussing the government indiscriminately, slandering the emperor and empress.

These eight words are enough to send them to the eighteenth level of hell.

……

Cui Fan and Shisanniang led the way, followed closely behind by Li Xuan, Zhou Qian and Qin Ming, with more than a dozen Qianniu Guards.

Deep in the quiet corridor, the two stopped and stood in front of a heavy wooden door.

Cui Fan stood there, and Thirteen Niang stepped forward and pushed the heavy wooden door to both sides.

There was no one in the empty hall.

All the prostitutes here have been brought under control, except for He Qiniang.

Li Xuan glanced at the piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings in the four cubicles, and a sneer flashed in her heart.

This place, apart from being a place for them to conspire against the government, is it not a place where they show their weaknesses in front of other companions.

They can only trust each other if they understand each other's weaknesses.

"Where is the secret path leading to He Qiniang?" Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Thirteen Niang.

Thirteen Niang's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassing. How could she not know that He Qiniang had already leaked all their secrets to the outside world?

Seeing Thirteen Niang's hesitation, Li Xuan's face turned cold, and Zhou Gan who was beside him instantly unsheathed a three-pointer.

With a sound of "choking", Thirteen Niang was awakened directly.

In desperation, Thirteen Niang could only go forward to the side of the study and opened the secret door.

A straight and dark passage appeared in front of her eyes, and Thirteen Niang walked in first. Just as Cui Fan was about to catch up, Li Xuan held her shoulders and said, "You stay here."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan followed, Zhou Gan, Qin Ming, and several other Qianniuwei also followed, leaving only one person, looking at Cui Fan.

Cui Fan stood there, bowing his head deeply.

Now he finally understands why Hu Zai and Zheng Fan, as well as the Zheng family and Lu family fought for the number one scholar a few days ago.

Originally he thought that the Zheng family and the Lu family were doing it for the sake of the family's face, but now it seems that all that was just a bluff.

The Zheng family and the Lu family didn't invest much power at all, only the top ministers and ministers at the top of the court shouted a few words, and none of the other real key cores were moved.

Originally thought that the Zheng family and the Lu family had no time to move these people, never thought about it, they never thought about moving these people at all.

What they are really doing is retreating from Chang'an to temporarily avoid the coming storm.

At that time, the Zheng family and the Lu family had already realized the great trouble that Qinxiangyuan would bring them.

This trouble does not come from a mere Nanchang king or a mere secret guard commander, but from the emperor and queen behind them.

All of this was done by the emperor and the empress.

The empress sat on the throne, watching everyone bouncing around below with cold eyes.

The really smart people have already left, and now even if they are tracked down, they will be demoted again and again, but Cui Fan's life is in danger.

The entire Boling Cui family, no, the Boling Cui family and their lineage, will be in big trouble.

You must find a way to save yourself.

Some information flashed through my mind quickly.

Thinking of this, Cui Fan immediately sat down on the table beside him, studied the ink by himself, and wrote it down quickly.

"I am from Zhongshushe, Cui Fan. I am secretly reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven..."
