Chapter 816 I'm Very Uneasy
For a mature official, killing is the most inferior method. If you do more of this kind of thing, you will have fewer enemies, but you will also have fewer friends.
Therefore, after countless assassins confronted Li Yifu, their main target was to kill Li Yifu's servants, destroy his carriage, and obstruct his journey, which was also the purpose of Gentleness.
Ten thousand dollars can buy many, many assassins. The identities of these assassins can be various, from Tubo children wandering in the Tang Dynasty to scholars whose families are in trouble and their lives are difficult to sustain.
Just like the wandering warblers flooding any streets and alleys in Chang'an and Luoyang, from the dancers from Qiuci to the famous ladies in the past, they belong to the rapidly changing society of the Tang Dynasty.
This is where the sun does not shine in the prosperous age. The taller the tall buildings in the prosperous age, the greater the shadow.
Li Zhi's whole body has become a little bloated. Since the onset of the wind disease, his activity time has been greatly reduced. The more lack of activity and lack of a good mood, the more he doesn't like to move.
The giant bear was even fatter than him.
Li Zhi didn't like to move, and the giant bear didn't like to move even more.
Autumn morning is Li Zhi's favorite scene. Bathed in the cool sunshine, Li Zhi feeds pears to the giant bear's mouth every now and then, and sometimes takes a bite himself.
His eyesight was not as good as before, and he was a little blurry when he saw a distance, but whether it was wind disease, obesity, or poor eyesight, it didn't affect his being an emperor.
Li Yifu knelt outside the blanket, put his head on the ground and said nothing.
In the past, when a prime minister saw the emperor, he didn't need to kneel down to show his dignity by bowing his hands.
It's not going to happen now, Li Zhi thinks it's better to let the prime ministers kneel down, so as not to make these people arrogant.
Li Zhi stuffed the bitten pear into the giant bear's mouth, watched the giant bear swallow the pear, and said calmly, "You said you were assassinated?"
Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Six dangers a day."
Li Zhi smiled, pointed at Li Yifu and said, "Yeah, you must be hated by so many people, so there are so many people who want to kill you."
Li Yifu looked up at the emperor and said, "Ever since His Majesty ordered the humble officials to supervise Chang'an, the humble officials have become the ones everyone can punish."
Li Zhi looked at Li Yifu and said, "Yunchu has left Chang'an, right?"
Li Yifu said: "The people who participated in this grand ceremony in Chang'an have all left Chang'an."
Li Zhi said again: "So, you were assassinated six times a day, it should have nothing to do with Yunchu."
Li Yifu was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I was assassinated was after the edict to take over Chang'an was issued. Except for Guo Yunchu, I can't think of anyone else who would think of killing me. .”
Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands and said: "If Yunchu wanted your life, you would have died long ago. Don't forget, he was once an excellent commander. For a person like him, if you don't move, you will die. Will strike a thunderbolt and not give you any chance of survival.
You have offended many people over the years, and I am not surprised that someone wants to take your life, so be careful. "
What Li Zhi said shocked Li Yifu, the emperor said it was not bad at all, if Yun Chu, who was born in the military, really wanted his life, he would definitely not send some assassins disguised as grooms and passers-by to kill him.
Some of Yunchu's subordinates are warriors who are willing to lay down their lives for him. Once these people make a move, there is absolutely no such thing as giving up halfway.
Since he is still alive until now, it should not be from Yunchu's hands.
Li Zhi stood up with difficulty, put his hand on Li Yifu's shoulder and said, "Yunchu is stronger than you think, he just puts all his thoughts on Chang'an City, and has no idea of competing with you for power and profit. Your luck is also my luck.
Li Jingxuan and Wei Dongcheng came back and said that Yun Chuchu's heart had not changed, and Chang'an City was still the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Except for the people, the government has become richer, and the rest has not changed much.
Go ahead, find more guards to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, and go to Chang'an for me to see how rich it is. "
Li Yifu looked up at the emperor, and wanted to speak, but saw the emperor sitting down and leaning on the giant bear again, with a tired expression as if he was about to fall asleep again, so he didn't say any more about the doubts in his heart, and left Ziwei Palace backwards with his hands folded.
Li Zhi squinted his eyes and rested for a while, then said to Zuo Chun who was standing not far away: "Why was Li Yifu assassinated?"
Zuo Chun cupped his hands and said: "I heard that someone issued a reward of [-] guan in the Luoyang guild to take Li Yifu's life, and the old slave has been chasing it for a long time, but he still can't find out who issued the hidden flower.
However, this hidden flower is different, even if Li Yifu is not killed, but only injured, he can still get money.
The old slave wants to..."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "If you know where to get the money, you can continue to investigate, right? If it's feasible, then do it."
Zuo Chun's heart trembled when he heard the words, he really didn't expect that the emperor would agree to the absurd idea he intentionally put forward.
You must know that Li Yifu was already the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and he was appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu, the third rank of Tong Zhongshu's family, and the Marquis of Guangping County.
In order to check some assassins, can he also put a knife on such a noble person?
Seeing that Zuo Chun hesitated, Li Zhi asked softly, "What are you worried about?"
Zuo Chun prostrated himself on the ground and said, "This old slave is thinking about how to do things according to His Majesty's arrangement."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "You didn't think about it before."
Zuo Chun let out a long sigh, prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Please have mercy, Your Majesty."
Li Zhi put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Mangshan in the distance and said softly: "When you are old, you will stay in the palace to take care of yourselves. I recommend someone to replace you."
Zuo Chun really wanted to recommend Baiqisi to be the governor of Chang'an and Luoyang, but when he got to the point of his mouth, he turned into the eunuch Ruichun standing on the other side of Ziwei Palace.
Li Zhi waved to Ruichun to signal him to come over, and when the middle-aged eunuch came over, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Your master recommended you to be the governor of the Baiqi Division, can you be promoted?"
Ruichun frowned and looked at Zuo Chun kneeling on the ground and said: "I wish to repay Your Majesty with death."
Li Zhi nodded to express his appreciation, and then went back to the place where the giant bear slept, leaned his head on the neck of the giant bear, and closed his eyes again.
Ruichun stood up, came to Zuo Chun, slowly drew out the horizontal knife and said, "Disciple will give master a ride."
Zuo Chun wanted to argue a few words, when he suddenly thought of Li Yuanjing, King of Han, Li Ke, King of Wu, Princess Baling, who had been watched by him to commit suicide, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, who had been burnt to ashes under his own watch, and Changsun Wuji, who had died before his death. Those curses issued by the emperor.
In the end, he stretched his neck to make it easier for his apprentice to cut the knife.
Ruichun's kung fu is very good, he chopped off Zuo Chun's neck with one blow, and before the head fell to the ground, he covered his head with a leather bag. As for Zuo Chun's broken neck, another eunuch had already used thick The mulberry paper was pasted, and there was not much blood flowing on the gold bricks outside Ziwei Hall.
The giant bear smelled a strong smell of blood, couldn't help but looked up, and was slapped on the nose by Li Zhi, the giant bear immediately lay down obediently, and even showed its soft belly, so that Li Zhi could rely on it Be more comfortable.
Li Zhi had obviously fallen asleep, snoring soundly, although locust tree leaves were always falling on him, but no one dared to step forward and cover him with a blanket.
Fortunately, the giant bear's body is very hot, and its obese body can well block Li Zhi from the cool autumn wind.
Li Hong didn't know the news of Zuo Chun's death until half an hour later. He was only slightly stunned for a moment, and continued to wait for the imperial doctor to diagnose Pei Wanying's pulse. These days, Pei Wanying's body was dry and hot, with hot flashes in her palms and feet, and it was extremely difficult to fall asleep. Difficulty, seems to have signs of pregnancy.
The imperial physician took his hand away from Pei Wanying's wrist, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Li Hong, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess just has an imbalance in her spleen and stomach, not a pregnancy image."
Li Hong nodded and said: "The lonely king knows."
After sending the imperial physician away, Li Hong said to the disappointed Pei Wanying, "It's okay, if you are pregnant, you won't be able to go to Mount Tai."
Pei Wanying said: "I would rather not go to Mount Tai this time."
Li Hong smiled and said, "It's always good to see more and listen more."
Pei Wanying said proudly: "I would rather wait for His Highness to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."
Li Hong waved his hands with a smile and said, "I won't do anything like Taishan Fengchan, which is useless."
After speaking, Li Hong helped Pei Wanying to the bed, stroked her face and said, "Have a good rest, I'll deal with some things."
Looking at Li Hong's back, Pei Wanying wanted to stop, but she finally held back the words.
This is an almost perfect husband candidate. He is handsome, tall, gentle, and powerful. Apart from not loving her, there is nothing to be picky about.
Xu Jingzong felt a cold recently, so he locked himself in an airtight room without seeing anyone.
Li Hong came over and opened the door and windows, and said to Xu Jingzong who was lying on the bed: "Keep it open and ventilated, and drink more hot water, the best way to treat the wind and cold."
Xu Jingzong was supported by his concubine to sit up, coughed and said: "Who said that?"
Li Hongdao: "Sun Shenxian said it."
Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "So, let's act in accordance with the law. Recently, the old man is adjusting his breath in the quiet room. I don't know what's going on outside?"
Li Hong found a chair near the window and sat down, and said to Xu Jingzong, "Li Yifu was in danger six times a day."
Xu Jingzong said without thinking, "Yun Chu did it."
Li Hong frowned and said, "If Master did it, we should be attending Li Yifu's funeral at this time.
Among other things, in the field of assassination, the master has the ability to be unrivaled in the world. "
Xu Jingzong laughed and said: "Based on the principle that whoever benefits is the most suspicious, Yunchu and the others benefit the most, so they must have arranged people to do it."
Li Hong frowned and said, "I said, Li Yifu is living well."
Xu Jingzong said: "The old man also said that it was Yunchu and the others who did it, there is no room for maneuver.
Also, the fact that Yunchu didn't kill Li Yifu only showed that he already looked a bit scheming at such a young age.
The prince must not forget that Li Yifu is only temporarily acting as Changan's left-behind position. According to the time, there are eight to ten months in general. As long as this period of time is delayed, they will win. Killing Li Yifu will only win the battle. Letting your father and mother be furious won't do him much good, so not killing is the real wisdom. "
After listening to Xu Jingzong's explanation, Li Hong said, "How about Li Jingxuan instead?"
Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "Li Jingxuan's son-in-law is now working in Chang'an, and I heard that only petty officials were hired, but Yunchu didn't arrange any fixed errands for him, just let him start from scratch. The general arrangement, it can be regarded as the same friendship as the ear to the ear.
We know, and His Majesty also knows, so Li Jingxuan is unreliable in dealing with Yun Chu.
Your Highness, since Yunchu opened the official position in Chang'an, someone belonging to the East Palace should also go to Chang'an to take up a post. "
Li Hong shook his head resolutely and said: "No, everyone in Chang'an is at the mercy of Gu."
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong with a puzzled expression and said, "This is not what His Highness should say. Trust, after all, has a limit."
Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong and sighed, "Three quarters ago, Emperor Father killed Zuo Chun."
Xu Jingzong suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, looked at Li Hong nervously and said, "Your Highness, don't joke."
Li Hongdao: "The body and the head are separated, the dead cannot die again."
"Why did Your Majesty kill Zuo Chun?"
"It is said that the father ordered Zuo Chun to send someone to stab Li Yifu, Zuo Chun hesitated, and then he was beheaded by the father."
Xu Jingzong's complexion changed drastically, and he said to Li Hong: "Please cut off all ties with Li Yifu immediately, Your Highness."
Li Hong frowned and said: "Li Yifu is the queen mother's confidant, and the father has always treated him well."
Xu Jingzong said loudly; "Isn't An Zhi more afraid?"
Li Hong nodded and said: "Ten days later, the master will arrive in Luoyang, and Gu will inquire in person."
Xu Jingzong said with some disappointment: "Your Highness, no matter what, cut off the deals we made with Li Yifu first, if it is too late, the old minister is worried that it will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction.
This time His Majesty even killed Zuo Chun, it can be seen that the anger hidden in His Majesty's chest has reached the point where it cannot be contained.
Your Highness is the Crown Prince, so you must not cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince for the sake of some small interests. "
Li Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Xu Jingzong reluctantly: "Okay, as the Qing family said, just let go of what should be discarded. Anyway, I'm still young, and I have time to rearrange."
Xu Jingzong let out a long breath, stroked his chest with his hands and said: "Your Highness, when you go to Mount Tai this time, it's best for Your Highness to live in the barracks commanded by Yunchu, and don't leave if there is nothing to do."
Li Hong spread his hands and said, "Why is this?"
Xu Jingzong came to the window, looked at the falling locust tree leaves and said in a low voice: "You may not know, the old minister is very disturbed, very disturbed."
