"You don't need to know his identity."
The only person in the entire hall who dared to speak to Emperor Yan Ping like this was King Qin Li Ma. Li Ma is the only younger brother of Emperor Taizu, the uncle of Emperor Taizong, the great-uncle of Emperor Yan Ping, and the highest-ranking elder of the Li family in the entire royal family. Even if he was rude, Emperor Yan Ping could only endure it.
"Hun'er, do you know the origin of this sword?"
Li Han frowned and said, "The word "Li" is engraved on this sword, which sounds familiar to my grandson. , I just can’t remember where I heard it.”
Li Ji, Emperor Yan Ping’s heart skipped a beat, isn’t that the name of Emperor Taizu?
"Hahaha, you silly boy, you have been naughty and mischievous since you were a child. You don't study well, and you have even forgotten the name of your grandpa."
"Grandpa Taizu?" "This is?"
"This is the sword used by your grandfather. Due to some reasons, this sword was left outside. Today, since he has chosen you as the successor of this sword, you You have to use it well, and don’t let down the expectations of your grandpa Taizu.”
I don’t know where this old man in white came from, but he actually possesses Taizu’s sword. He must have some secrets on his body. But since they don't want to say anything, forget it.
"Yes, grandson, remember this."
Li Zhi said in surprise: "When did you learn to be so obedient? I am still not used to it."
Li Jun scratched his face and said confidently: "My grandson has always been well-behaved."
Li Mao nodded at him somewhat amusingly.
"Father, do you still need to give this sword to the imperial guards for safekeeping?"
This is the sword of Emperor Taizu. If it is handed over to others for safekeeping at will, it is to protect Taizu. The emperor's disrespect. Therefore, Emperor Yan Ping twitched his eyes and said helplessly: "This is the sword of Grandfather Taizu. You can just carry it with you."
"Thank you, father."
Now Emperor Yan Ping really needs to think carefully before he conflicts with Li Junqi in the future. Based on what he saw today, this guy is very likely to commit regicide in the palace.
"It's getting late, let's all disperse."
Although this banquet did not reach the level of a speech, it at least left a shadow in everyone's mind and established their authority. The effect is still there.
Jiushikou is the most prosperous thoroughfare in and out of the nine cities in Kyoto. Most of the merchants traveling from south to north and even foreign merchants gather here to buy and sell goods. On Yuan Shuo Day, a group of people gathered around the plaque at Jiushikou, pointing and guessing the identity of the person hanging on the top.
"In this first month of the year, there is no killing, how come there is someone hanging on this? What heinous crime has been committed?"
"I see on this imperial list it says: Yushan County magistrate Dong Shaoyan was hanged here for public display because of his corruption and disregard for human life."
"I know this, my lord said., Magistrate Dong was a good official, but he ended up like this just because he was against the Buddha Sect. ”
“Isn’t the Buddha Sect the sect of the Imperial Master? How can he be a good official when he goes against the Imperial Master? I think there is a high probability that he is a doggy official who was discovered by the Imperial Guard and reported to His Majesty. He brought the blame upon himself. "
"Have you seen this person with your own eyes? My lord is a scholar in the same department as him and a close friend of his classmates. Doesn’t my lord know what kind of character he is? Moreover, you can ask people from Zhuqiong County and Yushan County and listen to what they say. "
"I don't care so much. The National Preceptor is a descendant of heaven, and the guardians around her are all first-class heroes. This is born from the heart, and the appearance is Justice, all the demons and monsters who oppose them should be put to death. "
"Hey, it turns out you are a brainless person, so why should I argue with you? ”
“The Buddha Religion has been designated as the state religion by His Majesty. Isn’t this person seeking death by going against the National Preceptor?” "
"Yes, Your Majesty, that is the True Dragon Emperor. How could what he said be wrong? ”
“I heard that King Jin challenged the Imperial Preceptor in public in the palace. Guess what happened? "
"No way, King Jin is the number one god of war in our dynasty, and the national preceptor is a god descended from heaven. He challenged the national preceptor, hiss, who won? "
"You won't believe it even if I tell you, of course King Jin won. ”
“King Jin won? King Jin even defeated the gods? OMG. "
"Moreover, King Jin still has in his hand the personal sword left by the founder of the country. In addition, the Xuanguang Armor, which has always been known as the imperial armor, is also in his hand. Do you think this is destiny? ? "
"Hush, don't dare say this nonsense. If you are caught, you will be beheaded. "
While everyone was talking about it, there was a person sitting under the plaque. Hearing the different opinions of the people watching, the person just murmured to himself with some mockery: "Look, this is it. The justice you want, what you get in exchange for your life is just something for them to talk about after dinner. Why are you so stupid? Why not wait a little longer? How do you know there is no transfer without waiting? You can't wait to hit the pillar. Why are you so hot-tempered? As long as you are willing to lower your head, this matter will never end like this. "
"I often say to you, just muddle through things. No matter how good you are, it will never be worth the relationship above. What this world needs has never been an honest person like you. Maybe I should have terminated your official position in the first place. Even if you would hate me, it would be better than losing your life like this. "
"In the fifth year of Yan Ping's reign, you and I went to Beijing to take the exam. It has been fifteen years now. You must also want to go back to your hometown to have a look. Wait a moment, and I will take you back tomorrow. Home. "
The three days were up, but Xiao Benping fell into a deep sleep because of a cold and did not wake up immediately. When he opened his eyes, he found the archway aboveThe people have disappeared, and even the guard guarding the place has disappeared. Xiao Benping was so anxious that he stopped a passerby and asked, "Where are the people up here?"
Because he had been frozen for several days and was infected with the wind and cold, he felt a little awkward talking at this time.
"Being taken away."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Who? Who took it away?"
According to the law, the funeral affairs of a person whose body is hung in public can be handled by his family after the expiration of the time limit. He has been waiting under this archway for three days, just because he is worried that they will throw Dong Shaoyan into a mass grave, and he does not know how much he will suffer in that case.
"I don't know, early this morning, as soon as the guards withdrew, a group of people put the body in the coffin and took it away."
There was actually a case of body snatching. Son? Xiao Benping was simply stunned. As expected, this is the capital city, full of wonders.
"Where did they go?"
"It seems to be the northwest direction."
Xiao Benping hurriedly left the man behind and ran towards the northwest. Along the way, I asked for directions. Fortunately, these people pulling the coffin in a carriage were very conspicuous, so Xiao Benping found the direction without much effort. But this pursuit has become a problem. His footsteps are not fast and he cannot compare with those people. In the end, I spent some money to hire a groom and went out of the city to chase people.
These people also had to buy some paper money, offerings and other things on the way, and they were delayed for some time. Finally, they were caught up by Xiao Benping an hour later.
Xiao Benping ordered the driver to block the front. He got out of the car, walked up to those people, and asked, "What do you guys call me?"
The man riding the horse said: " You didn't know who we were, so why did you stop us with your car?"
Xiao Benping said with a smile, "I am Xiao Benping, the governor of Yu County. I wonder who is in this coffin?"
< p> "This has nothing to do with Sir Xiao, right?""May I ask what position this Sir holds? Can you sell Xiao a piece of noodles? The person in the coffin is not related to Sir, please. Your Excellency handed him back to me, and I am very grateful. You can ask for anything, and Xiao will do his best to help you achieve your wishes."
"Master Xiao is truly a person of true love and nature. "People."
Xiao Benping looked behind the carriage and saw a person lifting the curtain on the carriage. Xiao Benping knew that it was this person who had just spoken.
"Xiaoguan Xiao Benping pays homage to King Jin, a thousand years old..."
"Master Xiao, there is no need to be polite, please get up."
"Thank you, King Jin."
Li Han said with a smile: "I originally thought that Cheng Yuan invited Mr. Xiao to the palace to testify against Mr. Dong, but I heard that you stayed under the archway for three days, and it didn't seem like Cheng Yuan. "People from far away."
"Xiaguan is just a prefect, how can he get the chance to become the ruler of the country? My lord, Dong Shaoyan and Xiaguan have been close friends since childhood.They grew up together. Unfortunately, he died today. The official wanted to ask the prince to show his favor and ask the official to take him back to his hometown for burial. "
"Master Dong has an upright character, and I admire him. It’s just that I heard that Mr. Dong’s hometown seems to be Wuyang County in the south. It’s more than ten thousand miles from Kyoto to Wuyang, and I’m afraid it won’t be possible in just a few months. There is a royal cemetery in the northwest of Kyoto. Emperors Taizu and Taizong are buried here. Grandpa Taizong left a place for me there. It is quite spacious. I think it would be good to bury Mr. Dong there as a companion. I don’t know. Master Xiao, are you satisfied with my arrangement? ”
“If you are not a minister of great merit, I am afraid that you are not qualified to enter this emperor’s tomb. "
" Mr. Dong has made great achievements in politics over the years and has a reputation among the people. I think Mr. Dong is fully qualified for this. What's more, this sect's poison has not been eradicated for a day, and I don't think Mr. Dong is willing to leave Kyoto just like this. ”
“Does the prince think there will be a day when the original source is revealed?” ”
“Of course, I have never doubted it. "
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. "
The royal cemetery in the northwest is not far from Kyoto, and it will arrive in two hours. By the time we return to Kyoto, it is already Youshi. Although it is already dark, Li Jun still goes to the Wei Mansion first , just because his princess was there.
The flaming scorpion-tailed tiger was seriously injured and was recuperating in the Jin Palace. Li Jun wanted to take it out, but the tiger was disobedient and was being attended to every day. With him, there is fresh meat, a spacious house, and very warm hot spring water to bathe in. This life is much more comfortable than if he lives in the jungle, so when Li Hao wants to take him out, he will use it. Kurouji kept wailing, and Li Han had a headache from it, so he had to leave it alone. However, although the tiger had not hurt anyone in the past few days, Li Han was still worried that it would hurt Wei Haohao if he was not at home. Therefore, he went out in the morning. At that time, he sent Wei Haohao to the Wei Mansion for foster care for a day.
After the Wei Mansion learned that King Jin had returned to Beijing, he ordered his servants to clean the gate and courtyard again. The main door was wide open, and Wei Guangdu took him with him. The family was waiting for Li Han at the door of the house. It can be said that they treated this uncle with the utmost care.
"Dad, he hasn't arrived home yet, let's go in first?" When he comes, he will go right in. "Wei Haohao felt a little sorry for tormenting the whole family like this. Wei Chongxin's injuries were not healed yet, so he was also pulled here to wait.
"Silly boy, although King Jin is your husband-in-law, he is also a member of the royal family. Heirs, the emperor's own children, how can we neglect him? "
"He won't care about this. My brother is still injured. If you let him stand like this, what will happen if the wound bursts open? "
Wei Guangdu felt sorry for his son and said, "How about asking the housekeeper to move a chair out? ”
“Oh, dad, just go back, I’ll just wait for him here.” "
"That's not okay. If people find out, wouldn't it appear that my Wei family doesn't understand etiquette?"
"Dad, I told you he won't care about this. If you do this again, I won't come back next time. "
"Haohao, you are the princess now, the daughter-in-law of the royal family. You can't be as casual in the palace as you are at home. King Jin favors you now, but life is very long. If you offend King Jin by relying on your favor and being arrogant, will there be many concubines in the royal palace who have been relegated to the cold palace? When that day comes, dad won't be able to help you. "
Mrs. Wei couldn't see Wei Guangdu talking about her daughter like that, so she pinched Wei Guangdu's soft flesh and scolded: "You are the only one who can say that you will go to heaven after reading two books? He still relies on favor and is arrogant. Is Haohao that kind of person? In the main hall, I saw that King Jin was really kind to us Haohao. His Majesty wanted to give the nine-color pansy to Concubine Chen, but he came and gave it to us Haohao. Don't let your villain's heart judge the gentleman's belly here. ”
“My villain’s heart? "
Wei Haohao nodded, and Mrs. Wei also nodded and said, "It's you. ”
