Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2259
Changsun Wuji felt more and more strange about this matter, pondered for a while, and weighed his left and right, he pushed open the door, and left the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion with steady steps in the midst of a crowd of Jingzhao Mansion officials.

Since something is wrong, you might as well calm down and wait and see what happens...

On the other side, Ma Zhou was dragged by Li Yuanjingsheng to the palace. After the report, His Majesty Li Er came to see him in the Dragon Palace.

At this time, it was not long before the morning was postponed, and it was not yet lunch time. His Majesty Li Er took off his dragon robe and took a bath, changed into a set of loose regular clothes, and was drinking tea in the Dragon Hall, listening to Li Junxian's report by the way.

"Outside the gate of Mingde, are there murderers killing the guards?"

His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup, frowned and asked, very annoyed.

As a king, he has been fighting on horseback for several years and is used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Naturally, the life and death of a few city guards will not be taken seriously, but this is tantamount to killing soldiers outside Chang'an City, which has already touched the safety of the empire. Bottom line, if everyone is so unscrupulous, he, the emperor, will probably have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Who exactly did it?"

"I don't know yet, I only know that those soldiers were suspicious people who looked like beggars, and then they were killed. Among the dead was a child of Dugu's family. But there is another thing, the general thinks it may be related. Not long ago, Jing Zhao The government has arrested a few suspicious people who look like beggars in the rare world..."

"Ok?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows with a gloomy expression.

Could it be that these beggars who were arrested were the ones hunted down by the city guards?If this is the case, these "beggars" not only did not flee far away after committing crimes, but instead sneaked into Chang'an City, then there must be an owner behind them.

How arrogant!
Where is Chang'an City, is there no law to control it?

Just about to let Li Junxian continue to track down the person behind the "beggar", the servant came to report that Jing Wang Li Yuanjing and Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou had arrived outside the palace, so His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to hold back his anger and announce the two to meet.

Not long after, Li Yuanjing and Ma Zhou entered hand in hand, they all bowed to the ground, and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hands and asked, "You two came here hand in hand, why?"

Before Ma Zhou could speak, Li Yuanjing fell to his knees like pushing a golden mountain or falling a jade pillar, and cried out sadly: "I have something to ask, I hope His Majesty will grant it, otherwise I will not be able to kneel forever!"

His Majesty Li Er was already angry in his heart, but now seeing Li Yuanjing's behavior, he became more and more annoyed. He just tried not to explode, and said impatiently: "You have to tell me what is the matter? After all, I will not let this If the throne is handed over to you, I have to grant it too?"

For an emperor to say such a thing, he would be punished...

Li Yuanjing was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How dare my brother be disobedient? It's just that my brother-in-law was taken by the Jingzhao Mansion, and His Majesty Wanwang made a lenient order and released him to reunite with the princess. Otherwise, my brother will never have peace!"

His Majesty Li Er wondered: "What did your brother-in-law commit?"

Ma Zhou took a step forward and said: "Today, I arrested several unidentified beggars in the West Market, including the wife and brother of His Royal Highness King Jing. His Highness requested the release of the minister, but it just so happened that another massacre of soldiers by the Chunming Sect happened. Therefore, I do not dare to specialize, so I ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Li Yuanjing, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, begged, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This is a big gamble for him, betting that others will not question the status of the so-called "wife brother". If a dignified prince begs for this favor, who can doubt that the one who is actually arrested is not a "wife brother" at all?
This is a helpless move.

He sent Hegan Chengji to the south of the Yangtze River, because he was sure that Changsun Wuji would retaliate against Fang Jun, so he used the secret agents of the Dong family to cooperate with Hegan Chengji to entangle the troops of the Changsun family and wait for the opportunity.

The main purpose is to shake the sky and thunder!

Li Yuanjing would never have dared to covet such prohibited things, but now that the eldest grandson's family is standing in front of him, as long as Hegan Chengji operates properly and grasps the timing well, it is very likely to succeed.

Unknowingly, he got Zhen Tianlei in his hand, and he added a lot of chips to his big plan.

When the news of Jiangnan came back, Li Yuanjing was very excited for a time, but he was worried that the fast horses in Jiangnan had passed the news to Chang'an through post stations all over the world, but there was no news from Hegan Chengji...

He absolutely cannot allow Hegan Chengji to fall into the hands of the emperor, and reveal the conspiracy, then he, His Royal Highness, can only die.

Anyway, it was only one death, so he bet that His Majesty Li Er would not attack his brother again because of the incident of "killing brothers and killing brothers". Because of this, I can be scruples and let the "brother-in-law" who was arrested...

His Majesty Li Er stared at Li Yuanjing fiercely, wishing he could kill this bastard with one blow.

How much viciousness must be committed behind the scenes to dare to brutally kill the defenders who are chasing and chasing?
He didn't worry about whether the beggar was really Li Yuanjing's brother-in-law or not. What should I do?
In the ninth year of Wude, under the sect of Xuanwu, he killed his own brother and murdered his own brother, and his hands were stained with the blood of his compatriots, and he ascended the throne of the supreme under heaven. Apart from the guilt that was forced, there were voices of doubt from all over the court , and tortured him.

He can only demand himself with almost harsh standards, be diligent in government affairs, and live a simple life. All the desires of being a man and a king are suppressed to the utmost, and he can even tolerate Wei Zheng and others day after day, year after year. One year of nitpicking and admonishing, in order to create an extremely powerful empire and manage the image of a great king.

He wants to use the brilliant achievements of "one emperor through the ages" to thoroughly wash away all the blemishes and stains on his body.

Now, his goal has almost succeeded.

The territory of the Great Tang Empire was vast, and it followed the heyday of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Its soldiers looked down upon the world and swept across the world.

Domestic officials are clear and bright, merchants are prosperous, and people live and work in peace and contentment. Most places have reached the state of the ancient prosperity of "no picking up things on the road, and never closing their doors at night".

He didn't want to wield a butcher's knife at anyone under his opponent, especially his brother.

Because no matter how good the reason is, because there is Yin Jian of Xuanwumen there, anyone will take it for granted that he must be eliminating dissidents and eradicating any enemies within the royal family that could threaten the throne of the emperor.

Therefore, he is more willing to let these people jump out by themselves, when the facts are all there, the evidence is conclusive, and no one in the world can question his decision.

He has enough confidence that he can kill anyone with a thunderous force when they launch a rebellion.

He will always stand on the side of justice, and will not allow his reputation to be stained with the slightest flaw...

……

Li Yuanjing was terrified by His Majesty Li Er's gloomy eyes. He was terrified, but he could only bite the bullet and beg bitterly.

His Majesty Li Er stared at him for a long time, and various thoughts flashed in his mind one by one, and then slowly asked: "What did your people do? It's good to be honest with me, and I promise not to involve you. Even if you participated in it, it will never punish you."

Li Yuanjing knelt there, and made an oath to the sky: "I really don't know anything, I just beg Your Majesty to spare the life of my wife and brother. My brother is loyal to His Majesty, he will follow his words, and he has never had a heart of disobedience." , if His Majesty doesn't believe it, I will crash into this Dragon Palace to death, so that I can prove my will!"

His Majesty Li Er can't wait to chop up this rascal immediately!

Knowing that he cherishes his reputation the most, but he wants to crash to death in the Dragon Palace, the outside world learned that apart from slandering himself and forcing his brother to death, how can there be a second excuse?
He took a breath, suppressed his irritable anger, nodded slightly, and said: "You and my brothers, if you don't even believe in you, who else can I trust? If this is the case, I will give you this face, and I will bend the law for personal gain."

Li Yuanjing was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Ma Zhou said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there is something else wrong with this matter..."

Li Yuanjing said angrily: "Bold! Your Majesty is the king of a country, the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. How dare you disobey the imperial decree?"

Ma Zhouli ignored him, but said to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, this matter..."

"That's it!"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter what hidden secrets are behind this matter, let's expose it and act according to orders."

Ma Zhou wanted to say more, but when he saw His Majesty Li Er slowly closing his eyes, he could only sigh helplessly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, obey the order."
