The third prince's mind is not very delicate, but he is extremely sure of many things to be a person that the fifth prince is afraid of.
It's terrible to think about it carefully.
He felt like he had become a trial object.
"The father asked me to practice the Yin-Yang Tianyou Sutra, which must have been intended, but what is his intention?"
"With his current cultivation, no spiritual attack method can do anything to him, and he cannot say that he is greedy for the supernatural powers of the Yin-Yang Tianyu Sutra."
"Can he not get Princess Jing and wants to use the magical powers of the Yin-Yang Tianyu Sutra? That's not true. He wants to use strong power and destroy this power? With his temperament, he can't use this method to get Princess Jing's body."
"Even if I really have this idea, my situation is different from him. He has achieved the eighth grade. I am still practicing step by step to the eighth grade. My progress in my practice and the supernatural powers I have achieved have no reference for him. His cultivation and my cultivation will probably not be the same as me."
"What does this mean?"
The third prince was overwhelmed and extremely nervous, feeling that he had to spend some time on this and figure out what mystery was inside, otherwise he wouldn't be like the fourth prince, and he would be finished after talking.
...
Princess Huaizhen had a nightmare all night and got up a little later than usual.
A secret report had been delivered to the maid waiting outside her door.
Although I had known that the sudden change that started with the siege of Wang Yehu last night was the biggest change since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the concentrated outbreak of the accumulation of these interest groups that control the real resources of the Tang Empire, looking at the shocking numbers and familiar names on the secret report, even though she kept reminding herself to calm down and pay attention to her demeanor, her fingers and lips were still trembling slightly.
Han Feng, Zheng Zhu, Lin Fu, Wang Yehu... Even if ordinary people don’t know what kind of power lies behind these names, the cultivation of these people alone, the word "Eighth Grade" is enough to shock the world.
And not only these four eighth grades, but also one of Lu Weiliang, who even she thought she had died long ago, and one of the eighth grades who had the only remaining exile who had been in Goryeo, also died last night.
These six powerful eighth-grade practitioners died in one night.
Who said that as an eighth grade, you can look down on the world and truly control your own destiny?
Under the struggle of the interest groups tied to the huge chariot of the Tang Empire, even eighth-grade practitioners have their lives as fragile as paper.
There are so many eighth grades, not to mention Tubo and Uighurs, and Dashi, which can be described as rising stars, have never had so many eighth grades. Even though they have been powerful for many years, many Turks who have practiced the Dharma have been spreading, from their strength to their complete collapse, they have not produced four eighth grades in total.
What's more, not only these eight-grade ranks died last night, but also some practitioners like Li Xun who had one foot on the threshold of the eight-grade rank.
There are also the eighth grade who took action last night.
Li Deyi, the cultivator who was newly promoted to the eighth grade and helped Wang Yehu carry the sedan chair, the mysterious eighth grade who easily killed Lu Weiliang, and the female nun who appeared on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, attacked the old monster Cui who killed Zheng Zhu.
A night of fish and dragon dance.
Only by truly drastic changes can we roll all the mud in Chang'an, a big pool, see how many terrible people there are in Chang'an.
Not only did the eighth-rank rank die, but the number of officials listed in this secret report has exceeded 500.
On the day when Li's true entry into Chang'an, more than 500 officials of the Great Sui Dynasty did not die in one night. Moreover, this secret report clearly stated that there were too many casualties and injuries and not all counted. The subsequent secret reports would be revised continuously.
Princess Huaizhen calmed down and curled the names, remembered some important figures related to her. While she began to think about the consequences of these people's death, she also thought of the secret identity of the border army before Gu Shiwu came to Chang'an. Thinking about the ability to analyze information that this person had shown before, she did not hesitate at all and ordered the maid to say, "Transfer this secret report to Gu Ningxi."
...
The Sixth Prince got up a little late.
It was really noisy all night.
The sound of killing shocked the sky, and the smell of blood was a bit strong.
He listened to the movement outside in his bedroom, and finally, he felt that the people from all sides were a little disrespectful.
There were several people who died only twenty or thirty steps away from the entrance of his bedroom, but after midnight, the sixth prince, he was staying in the bedroom, but no one entered his bedroom.
Please everyone.
Aren't you treason tonight?
A decent Li family member and a prince of such a big stay here, you don’t even care about it?
In desperation, the sixth prince could only go to bed angrily.
No one shouted when he woke up.
When the sun was getting high, he walked to the door of his bedroom and looked out, and saw a sparse person cleaning up his body.
He didn't know those who cleaned up the bodies very much, but he felt familiar with the people lying on the ground.
Anyway, there are many people who often appear around this palace on weekdays lying on the ground.
He stood at the gate of the palace. Whether those who packed up their bodies or dragged water trucks to wash the road, they all bowed to him with restraint, and no one said a word.
He didn't come over to talk to him.
The sixth prince frowned slightly.
His mood became a little weird.
He slowly walked out of the door of his bedroom.
Still no one cares about him.
He couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile, and even muttered himself, "I really don't respect people very much."
He muttered this, raised his head, and slowly wandered around the palace.
It seems that the palace is everywhere.
There were corpses lying down everywhere, and there were scattered people packing up their bodies and washing blood on the roads and walls.
People along the way were just saluting him.
When the Sixth Prince passed by Hanyuan Hall, he found that there were many people in the hall last night, and more than half of the people who cleaned up the body were lying on the ground.
The pungent bloody smell was so scattered that the entire nasal cavity and lungs were covered.
Moreover, the blood stains here are probably not cleaned every six or seven days.
The walls, pillars, and even the roof and beams of Hanyuan Hall were covered with blood.
A lot of blood was splashed out from the practitioner's body, and with the power of true energy, it penetrated deeply.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the hall, feeling that there were countless crimson flowers blooming inside.
...
The newly promoted eighth-rank man who helped Wang Yehu carry the sedan chair to Lanlingfang was still sleeping hard with his head covered.
Although the showdown with Han Feng relies on Wang Yehu's magical powers, it is equivalent to two eighth-grade bullying Han Feng and one eighth-grade, and easily killing him, the magical powers of Wang Yehu were even greater than the damage caused to him by Han Feng's true energy.
Moreover, this kind of fight will cause great mental loss.
It's really tiring.
It was unbelievable to say that he was completely unprepared when he fell asleep. He woke up until the gate of the courtyard was knocked by someone, stretched, put on a piece of clothing and slowly opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw three officials standing outside the door. The eunuch in the middle was his former boss Wu Shoucheng.
Wu Shoucheng looked anxious, but when he saw him slowly, he smiled, "Eunuch Qiu, a great thing. Last night, someone rebelled in the palace and many people died. The emperor sent an oral order to ask you to quickly lead the Shen Ce Army. You are going to truly achieve success!"
"Let me command the Shence Army?" The man was stunned.
Wu Shoucheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he looked at his dazed look.
This person is Qiu Kuangmei. He was a medical officer in the Eastern Palace and is now just a military supervisor. How come he has lost his head after doing this for a long time?
But he knew that if he could get the protection of this person in the future, his own benefits would definitely be indispensable.
So the smile on his face became even brighter, "Eunuch Qiu, you can't make a mistake. It seems that the emperor has long regarded your talents. It's just that the old thief Wang Yehu is controlling the Shen Ce Army. The emperor can't promote you before. You can go to the palace quickly. The official robes and seals in the palace are probably ready for you, and you are waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation."
Qiu Kuangmei smiled and took two steps towards the carriage that Wu Shoucheng was guiding, and then couldn't help asking, "Eunuch Wu, they are all their own people, I'll ask you something."
When Wu Shoucheng heard the words "herself" and suddenly his mouth opened. This time he smiled sincerely and quickly said softly, "Just ask."
Qiu Kuangmei whispered, "I heard that Li Deyi is back before. According to the information I found out, it seems that the Lord of the Lord should have wanted to hand over the Shen Ce Army to him. Why did he ask me to get a bargain?"
"Hey, how can this be called picking up a bargain? That must be what you deserve." Wu Shoucheng walked to him and whispered, "Eunuch Qiu, you really asked the right person. Now only two or three people in the city know that this governor Li will soar into the sky in the future. Last night, Lin Fu rebelled and was suppressed. General Li will take his position next. This is just for the prime minister."
"Li Deyi is the prime minister?"
After Qiu Kuangmei got on the carriage, she felt that her mind was still a little unconscious.
He couldn't help but shake his head hard and smiled bitterly.
Wang Yehu, Wang Yehu, what are you doing?
...
Princess Huaizhen and the Sixth Prince had slept for a while, but the fifth prince did not sleep all night.
The secret guards who kept passing messages were sweating all over his body.
Looking at the latest secret reports that were constantly conveyed to his hands, the fifth prince couldn't sleep at all, without any sleepiness, and was shocked and shocked again.
His carriage was parked outside Gu Liubai's yard before dawn.
Gu Liubai asked him to rest with peace of mind, but he couldn't feel at all.
Finally, he heard Gu Liubai get up, and he jumped out of the carriage and entered Gu Liubai's yard like a hungry tiger.
Gu Liubai, who was still full of secret sword, almost subconsciously gave him a sword.
"The Lin Party is completely finished."
Before he could even sit down, he looked at Gu Liubai who was still washing his face with water, saying, "Last night seemed to deal with Wang Yehu, but it was the Tang Dynasty's clans who settled the Lin Party."
Gu Liubai seemed very calm.
Just nodded and washed my face well.
On the way back here from Qujiang last night, the news passed by him had already predicted this.
"I just can't figure it out. Logically speaking, Li can also deal with Lin Dang in a gentler way." After washing his face, he looked at the fifth prince who was froze there because of his calm attitude, and said with a frown, "But you Li should have used the simplest, simplest and most rude method, and directly chopped countless people's heads in one night?"
The fifth prince's face was extremely ugly, and even his eyes were full of anger. "It's unheard of! Through the palace banquet, the Lin Party was blocked almost all of them in the palace and slaughtered them wildly, just like killing not the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, but pigs and dogs! Even if the Lin Party really had the fact that it was plotting against the will of heaven, such a massacre would be contrary to heaven."
After the two of them said a few words, a student from Songxi Academy came to pass the news, and all the maids of Princess Huaizhen asked for a visit.
Gu Liubai asked the student to bring people over. After the maid came, she didn't say anything nonsense, but said she was ordered to give him a secret report.
"You have been trying to kill my sister." Faced with Princess Huaizhen's attitude, the fifth prince felt that even if Gu Liubai only had a soft meal in Chang'an, he would definitely be able to become a wealthy person in Chang'an.
"Don't think that the other party is already devoted to it after taking some sweetness." Gu Liubai felt that the fifth prince still didn't know the sinisterness in the business world.
There are so many things that can be used to trap people with benefits.
Who knows whether every sentence that Princess Huaizhen said is the truth?
Whether this person is reliable depends on time to verify.
"I think my sister is willing to give birth to a baby for you, but she is not devoted enough?" The fifth prince looked at the secret report and couldn't help saying, "I'm afraid she's been warming up this secret report to you before she can warm it up."
"It is not necessarily a matter of being devoted to having a baby. There are many girls in Chang'an City who are willing to give birth to a baby for men, but it is hard to say how many of those who give birth to a baby for men are devoted to that man." Gu Liubai looked at the content of the secret report while talking casually.
The fifth prince said contemptuously, "With my sister's old pedantic appearance, if she can give birth to a baby for you, then let alone be devoted, I think it's okay to die for you."
"Grass!"
But after reading the contents of the secret newspaper a few times, he looked at the shocking names, but he lost all the joking thoughts.
Gu Liubai frowned.
"I can't figure it out even more."
He looked at the fifth prince, "If you send me a letter later, please ask Princess Huaizhen and the Sixth prince, what are you going to do so cruelly? Even if you kill someone with a knife, there are too many people. I think you can keep at least half of the names listed on the list. Also, there are many capable people in Chang'an. If people die, a batch can be added soon, but the yamen will be destroyed, and the case and some documents inside are destroyed. What does this mean?"
"I asked them to inquire carefully, think carefully," the fifth prince was a little vicious when he nodded.
Although he had already consciously withdrew from the Dragon Chair, as the direct descendant of the Li family, even if the world was not handed over to him, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw this trouble.
Even if there is a conflict between the monarch and his subjects, at most he would be dissatisfied with his wife. No matter how bad the wife is, he would have a partner to murder this husband, and at most he would have to waste his wife and accomplices. What would happen if he even smashed his home?
"I'll ask for a possibility."
Gu Liubai's border army was born in a secret sect and was good at buying people to look at the military's case sects. He was very sensitive to those case sects.
"I will kill people and smash the yamen, which makes me feel like I don't want this yamen in the future. Even the case sects inside are thrown away. Do you think it is possible that your Li family will use these clans to eradicate the Lin Party and destroy some records?"
The fifth prince frowned deeply and said, "Of course there are such possibilities. Some cases have different archives, not only in one yamen, but also some files involving records of the historical records and the emperor's words and deeds. Even the emperor cannot destroy them. Some events may be recorded in many cases in different yamen. If you want to destroy some facts that you want to cover up, you must indeed destroy all the secret cases in many yamen."
"Many clans are also staring at Li's family. If there is any secret that can have a great impact on Li's family, it will be among these sects. I'm afraid Li will not dare to act rashly. It is very likely that he will not move his troops normally and will not show any signs of dew. He will solve the problem in this liquidation." Gu Liubai pondered.
The fifth prince was silent for a moment and couldn't help but say the word "cake".
"So many people die, and many yamen institutions may be reorganized to streamline expenses." Gu Liubai looked at Princess Huaizhen's secret report and couldn't help but jokingly, "You see, you have started to search the house this morning. I think you, Li, are even short of money than I imagined. Although you have indeed been a little military in recent years, where is the expense so much? I think you, Huaizhen and others have to check the money in depth."
The fifth prince really doesn't understand.
Even he doesn't understand, which means there must be a big problem here.
"There are many students from these two academies in Youzhou. You can choose another batch of their people. If you can't use them, you can leave them to Princess Huaizhen for use. I just want to see if she is reliable." Gu Liubai said seriously, "Next, please help me check which family members make the most profits next. If there are obviously too many benefits... there may be problems with you Li family. Starting from this company, you may get some truth."
The fifth prince nodded.
This is not just a matter of talking about the students of two academies in Youzhou. Before he could speak, a student came over to send a message, saying that someone from Pei's house was asking to see Gu Liubai.
Someone from Pei's Mansion?
Gu Liubai was stunned. Pei Yunqi and Pei Yunhua were both here. Who else came to Pei's mansion?
The student hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but whisper his speculation, "I came back from outside the city, and the carriage was very deep, which means that the person sitting inside was very heavy."
After these few words, although the student did not say his final guess, Gu Liubai and the fifth prince already understood it in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
