Chapter 539: Wrong love, wrong love
The incident that Hou Junji committed is indeed quite relevant. It is no exaggeration to say that this matter is directly related to the country of the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty the Emperor smiles every day, and shows a generous and kind face to the hearts of neighboring countries. He gives a title this year and rewards a large pile of porcelain and silk next year. He tells the envoys of neighboring countries with kindness: "Don't be afraid of me, don't be nervous, I'm not a good person..."
After ascending the throne, the ethnic policy was established, which was both kind and win over, and finally convinced the neighboring countries. After the four years of Zhenguan, the kings of the neighboring countries were frightened or happy and satisfied. So all the countries rushed to congratulate each other. From that year on, Li Shimin had a title of honor that was famous for all eternity, "Tian Khan".
In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo of Tubo sent envoys to Chang'an to congratulate him. Li Shimin said to the Tubo envoys in front of the ministers in the palace, "Since ancient times, they have always valued China and were inferior to barbarians, and I love them only as one."
This sentence is very important and is a general summary of the ethnic policy that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had implemented for many years. In fact, Li Shimin did this. The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty worked hard for more than ten years to exchange for the friendship between neighboring countries and Tang Dynasty, and jointly recognized the Tang Dynasty as their sect leader.
However, a command from Hou Junji smashed the achievements of Li Shimin's hard years, which was like slapping Li Shimin in the face in front of many neighboring countries.
The emperor here said with a smile on his face and said, "Love alone is the same as one", but the general of the Tang Dynasty brazenly ordered the city to be massacred. What the emperor said was fart. Which neighbor would convince? Who would not be afraid?
Therefore, Li Shimin was very angry that this matter was absolutely impossible to be good.
It is not enough for Hou Junji to be imprisoned in Dali Temple, far from enough.
So the day after Hou Junji was imprisoned, an imperial edict left the palace gate and headed straight to the camp of the Western Expedition Army a hundred miles away from the city. From the deputy generals of Congshan Road, Qi Biheli, the deputy general of the marching, went down, and a large number of middle and high-level generals were locked and taken into Chang'an.
These generals were all vanguards of great military achievements in the army. They must lead the way in every battle and are invincible. Including the battle to destroy Gaochang, they also led the way. However, that time, these generals raised a butcher knife to the unarmed Gaochang subjects...
More than 30 generals were taken to Dali Temple. The Western Expedition Army was like a major purge, but there was only one person. Li Shimin specially ordered a commendation and personally gave gold, silver, silk and 100 acres of fertile land.
This man's surname is Asina and his name is Sheer. He was the deputy general manager of Jiaohedao marching at that time. He was Hou Junji's deputy sweeping across the Western Regions. He had met Li Su at the head of Xizhou City.
The Western Expedition Army was completely cleaned up, and the generals took more than 30 locks, but Ashinasheer was praised. It was because when he broke the capital of Gaochang, Ashinasheer fiercely opposed the massacre of the city and strictly restrained his generals from killing civilians. However, after the Tang army entered Gaochang Capital, he was red in his eyes, like a group of hungry wolves rushing into the flock of sheep. He completely lost his mind, not to mention that the then commander Hou Junji also acquiesced to the Tang army's massacre of the city, so even if Ashinasheer opposes, it will be useless and it is difficult to make a comeback. Gaochang is covered with corpses and blood, and the only thing he can do is not take any money.
A snow-white and clean white lotus suddenly appeared in a large area of mud. Li Shimin was so happy. This was not a lotus, it was clearly a strange flower. In the battle to destroy Gaochang, the country was full of darkness and ugliness. Finally, with the highlight of Ashinasheer, how could Li Shimin not reward him?
This reward was not only rewarded to the envoys of neighboring countries, but also to the generals who did all the evil deeds in Gaochang. At the same time, Ashinosheer also became Li Shimin's only fig leaf, so the reward was of great significance.
What should be rewarded is rewarded, what should be closed, and the envoys from neighboring countries are still staring at the Tai Chi Palace.
As the head coach who acquiesced the city to massacre in this battle, it is not enough to be imprisoned. The envoys opened their eyes wide and stared at the Tai Chi Palace, waiting for what His Majesty Tian Khan, who is respected by all nations, will deal with the head coach.
Li Shimin was so scared that he was almost crazy. It is said that the pressure on the Tai Chi Palace was extremely low in the past few days. Li Shimin was so angry that he had broken many porcelain bottles and dishes. After several days, he finally issued an order to order the ministers of the Shangshu Province to discuss the crime of Hou Junji.
*********************************************************************************
When the monarch and ministers of the court were overwhelmed by the crime of Hou Junji, the Eastern Palace was also quite uneasy.
At dusk, the city gate was closed. The officials in Chang'an City beating gongs and shouting everywhere to close the gate, asking the people not to stay outside when they go home, let alone be allowed to go night.
He appeared in a dark alley in Changshoufang in a black long gown. It was almost the lights of the hand, and the alley was pitch black. He stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, his expression seemed a little shivering. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally walked into the dark alley.
The dark alley was still pitch black, like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, waiting for those who are destined to deliver meat to their door.
After walking for a while, a cold wind blew inexplicably deep in the alley, which was so cold that it was biting cold. I felt a sense of cold war. I almost wanted to turn around and ran away, but I didn't dare to run away. Hongyan's seductive lips sagged and she was almost crying.
I have to say that even when I was extremely afraid, I still looked like I was pity and stunning. Even a man couldn't help but feel a desire to protect him when he saw it.
Wang Zhi stood in the dark corner of the alley, quietly looking at the terrified look not far away, and sighed secretly.
According to Li Su, any man will willingly bend himself in front of his satisfaction and then get on him...
The stunning face and beautiful appearance actually grow on a man. It's really good luck, and it makes the man it makes the man itchy...
"You're late." Wang Zhi said coldly.
This sound suddenly came out of the cold and quiet dark alley. I was so scared that I almost screamed. I turned around suddenly, and it was already absent.
Looking around, I saw a man standing in the deepest corner of the alley. The corner was pitch black and dark, and he could not recognize his eyebrows.
"Yes... just now the prince summoned me, and the villain had to escape after dealing with it for a long time. It took some time to delay, and I hope to forgive my crime." He said tremblingly.
While saying that, he walked forward two steps with satisfaction.
"Stop! You are not allowed to move forward!" Wang Zhi shouted sternly.
I was so scared that I stopped immediately and took two steps back.
"You and I meet each other, only hear the sound, not see people. Do you understand what I mean?" Wang Zhi's tone returned to calm.
I was satisfied and nodded.
Wang Zhi was straightforward and said slowly: "Today I sent a message to the East Palace and asked you to come out. For one thing..."
He bowed his hand with gratitude and said respectfully: "I would like to ask the nobles to show you."
Wang Zhi paused for a moment and said, "I only ask you, have the prince done something unusual recently?"
"Abnormal behavior? This..." I was a little confused. Then I frowned slightly and thought silently.
Wang Zhi looked at him quietly and sighed secretly.
This guy... is so beautiful, every frown and smile is amazing. How did Li Su appear at the beginning? No wonder he was fascinated by the prince.
The question Wang Zhi gave was too big. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't get it, so he shook his head.
"I'm sorry for your sins. Your sentence is too general. I wonder who you are targeting for the 'abnormal behavior'?"
Wang Zhi was silent.
This cannot be said thoroughly. Once it is said thoroughly, it means that Li Su will be exposed to satisfaction, which is something Li Su absolutely does not want to see.
"Satisfied, you have to be clear. It's me who asked you. It's not me who asked me. No matter who I am targeting, I will only talk about the prince's abnormalities recently. You can tell you clearly any details. I will distinguish them." Wang Zhi said coldly.
I was satisfied and thought for a while, and suddenly my eyelids twitched a few times.
The alley was pitch black, but there was a bright moon hanging in the sky. Wang Zhi stood in the dark and stood in the moonlight with satisfaction. Wang Zhi saw any change in his expression.
"What did you think of?" Wang Zhi asked.
Shuxin shook his head: "The villain really can't think of any abnormalities in the prince recently. I'm sorry for the crime."
Wang Zhi frowned, and suddenly a cold and cold feeling appeared all over his body, and he was wandering in Chang'an for a long time. In recent years, there were more and more brothers under his command. Wang Zhi, the gangster brother, has become increasingly high in the market. Even the Wuhou Fang official who patrols the streets has to laugh and call him Brother Wang when he sees him. Over time, Wang Zhi also has an inexplicable power. Unlike the official power of the officials, Wang Zhi's power has a bit more murderous aura, more direct and more fierce.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I feel the gust of cold wind in the alley, and a chill gradually seeps from the skin into the bone cracks. So I feel that my expression changes drastically, revealing a deep sense of fear.
"Satisfied, in the past two years, you have become a celebrity around the prince, and you are extremely honored and glorious. It is said that the prince is now accompanied by you in and out of the ceremonial guards. He calls you to bed almost every night. Even the prince's memorials discussing state affairs will ask you first. He is the second person in the Eastern Palace who deserves it, so..." Wang Zhi sneered several times and said, "So, do you think you are a character now, huh?"
The sinister tone made me tremble with fear, my pretty face became more pale, and my frightened eyes stared at Wang Zhi in the dark, and said tremblingly: "The noble man misunderstood. The villain is just a duckweed with a poor fortune and a miserable life. How can I afford to be a person? The villain... the villain..."
He hesitated for a moment, and bit his teeth with satisfaction, and said panic: "The villain suddenly remembered that the prince did have any abnormalities recently."
"Tell me carefully!"
"One night half a month ago, His Highness secretly summoned the prince's left commander He Jiliang. Because the prince said it was a secret matter, the villain stood outside the hall and was inconvenient to enter. That night, the prince and He Jiliang said something in the bedroom. About half an hour later, He Jiliang hurried out of the palace. Early the next morning, He Jiliang picked up twenty people from the left commander and quietly left the East Palace. The group disappeared. Later... He Jiliang returned to the East Palace, but the twenty people he picked out had disappeared inexplicably. The villain only remembered that ten days ago, He Jiliang ran to the prince with a panic and whispered a few words. At that time, the prince's expression was wrong. After entering the bedroom alone, the prince had a big temper and smashed the bedroom to pieces. The villain tried to comfort him, and was slapped by the prince who was angry..."
The more I said, the less I heard, the less I heard, the more I looked, with a hint of unspeakable pain.
But Wang Zhi's eyes became brighter the more he heard it.
"He Jiliang, the commander of the left guard, picked up about twenty people? In the end, he disappeared?" Wang Zhi murmured, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He stared at the darkness of the alley and tried to see the clues from Wang Zhi. However, Wang Zhi was standing at the position that was too dark. It was obviously chosen in advance. It was an excellent position to completely hide his corner. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see Wang Zhi's appearance.
After being silent for a long time, he said carefully: "Neither, the prince's recent abnormal behavior has just happened. The villain's oath to the sky is really gone. Please ask the noble person to understand..."
The excitement in Wang Zhi's eyes became stronger and stronger, but his tone was particularly cold, and he even had a little disdain and anger.
"What an exception is that the news is useless at all. I'm satisfied. Are you deliberately fooling me?"
"The villain dares not, really... there is only one thing. In addition, the prince is studying in the Eastern Palace every day. He used to like banquets, singing and dancing, and now he has quit. After studying every day, he went to Tai Chi Palace to meet His Majesty, and talked about his experience in studying and some ideas about governing the country. His Majesty was particularly disappointed with the prince because he was slandered by the polite son. Recently, the prince reformed and worked diligently to learn. However, his Majesty gradually praised the prince, and the prince did not disappoint His Majesty's high expectations. Recently, he was very honest and at peace. Except for He Jiliang's case, the prince really did not act abnormally."
He defended the prince in panic, not knowing whether it was fear or impatient, but while Shuxin said, his eyes were filled with tears, and even Wang Zhi couldn't help but be stunned by the appearance of pear blossoms in rain.
Seeing Xingxin hurt her love, Wang Zhi was silent for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Shuxin, are you treating the prince... to the prince..."
Halfway through speaking, Wang Zhi himself couldn't continue to say anything, but Xu Xin nodded in tears and shook his head.
After sighing, Wang Zhi hardened his heart and said coldly: "No matter what you are thinking, remember what you should do. Your parents were released to their hometown last year. Why did they understand the meaning?"
He cried and said with a heart-wrenching grief: "The villain knows that there have been many news about the villain betrayal of the Eastern Palace in the past two years. The villain has been tied to you. It doesn't matter whether the villain's parents are imprisoned or not. If the villain does not do his best, it will be the time to die in the Eastern Palace."
Wang Zhi couldn't bear it, so he slowed down his tone and said quietly: "Don't be sad, you are the only way to lurk in the Eastern Palace. You will definitely restore your freedom by two years at the latest. At that time, the world is so great that you can interact with each other at will, no longer be restricted, and no longer be manipulated. This is the truth, you must believe me."
He squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, thank you for your kindness. The villain is determined to be a noble person to serve you."
Wang Zhi nodded and said, "So, I'm leaving, you... be careful, take care of yourself."
After saying that, Wang Zhi's figure disappeared deep in the dark alley, and from beginning to end, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The alley was silent, only the sound of the gongs of the archer in the distance came faintly, standing there for a long time, until a cold wind blew, and suddenly shivered. Looking at the empty alley, he suddenly squatted down and leaned his head against the low earth wall and cried bitterly.
The helpless betrayal, the indescribable incompetence, and the pain of eroding the heart and bones are now intertwined and entangled in his heart, and life is worse than death.
