Chapter 3670 The end of the road
Although the war initiated by the Guanlong nobles was extremely brutal, in the final analysis it was just a "military remonstrance" rather than a "rebellion", which was completely different from Li Yuanjing's army at that time. Since it is "military admonishment", it means admonishing certain inappropriate policies of the king on the basis of acknowledging the structure of the imperial court. As long as the purpose of admonition is achieved, everything will continue as usual.
Therefore, in the "military admonishment", both sides will have a bottom line in their actions, and they will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone involve the families of the opposing parties, making the situation impossible to end. Because of this, when Changsun Wuji sent troops to Fang's house, it was regarded as a move that crossed the bottom line. Even Yu Wenshi couldn't stand it. Because of this, Fang Jun hated him deeply and fought against Changsun's family to death.
The residences and family members of ordinary ministers can still be preserved, let alone the family members of a dignified prince? They are all royal relatives and the blood of the emperor. Only at the end of the dynasty and the overthrow of the empire will there be a tragedy in which everyone in the family is slaughtered and not a blade of grass is left alive...
Li Yuanjing was kneeling on the ground. His backbone seemed to have been taken away from him. He didn't look sad, but he was soulless and lifeless.
When a person has no heirs, what is the point of all his ambitions and ambitions?
After going through all kinds of hardships to build this beautiful country, but not even having an heir... This is the ultimate sorrow in the world.
Li Chengqian lamented in his heart. Although he deeply hated Li Yuanjing for launching an army to attack the Xuanwu Gate that day in order to enter the palace and depose the East Palace. Once he achieved his goal, today's East Palace would probably be barren of chickens and dogs, but he had a weak temper and a kind heart. There is still a sense of compassion.
Looking at Li Yuanjing who was not in pain but crying, he thought for a while and added: "It is said that afterwards, Changsun Wuji ordered people to search Prince Jing's Mansion carefully to try to find out the cause of the fire. After all, even if the Nuo Da Mansion caught fire, it would not be the cause of the fire. It is possible that no one in the whole house will escape.”
Li Yuanjing was excited, his gray eyes seemed to regain some vitality, and he turned to look at Li Chengqian.
Although family members are killed and children are cut off, it is true that life is hopeless, but sometimes hatred can also be the reason that can support people to live...
Fang Jun and Chai Zhewei at the side also looked at Li Chengqian. The palace was indeed as big as the palace. Even if the fire was huge, how could no one escape alive?
There must be something hidden.
Li Chengqian seemed a little intolerable, but still said: "The government officials from Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an County went into the palace to search, cleaned up the ruins, found the burned corpses, and verified them one by one according to the roster registered by the palace. Finally, they found that the number of people was correct. It’s obvious that no one died in the house fire.”
The light in Li Yuanjing's eyes gradually became apparent, his lips trembled but he could not speak. He looked at Li Chengqian with eyes full of hope.
Perhaps, God has mercy on him and can leave him a bloodline...
Li Chengqian sighed again and said slowly: "It is said that after comparing the corpses in the palace one by one, there is no such lively and fragrant beauty as Uncle Wang among them."
Boom!
This news was like a thunderbolt hitting Li Yuanjing's head, making him confused and trembling. His first thought was, could it be that someone coveted Dong Mingyue's beauty, so he slaughtered everyone in Prince Jing's palace, burned them all with fire, and then took the beauty away?
No fool would think so!
At that time, the city of Chang'an was in chaos. No matter how lustful a person was, he would not do such a thing. He slaughtered the emperor's relatives and burned down the palace. This was to put a heinous crime on Guan Long's head. If he was caught, Changsun Wuji would Being able to peel off its skin and cramp it alive!
Then the only explanation is that Dong Mingyue was not in the house when the whole house was slaughtered and then set on fire, or she was watching silently from the side...
Although Li Yuanjing was not a brilliant person, he was not a fool either. He quickly figured out the truth.
A woman who was responsible for the huge manpower of the "secret spy" organization left over from the former Sui royal family suddenly threw herself into her arms, and continued to use the secret power in her hands to help her plan for trouble, sparing no effort to support and encourage her.
Obviously, the purpose was to get him to rebel and shake the foundation of Li Tang.
Then when he was about to go on an expedition, he massacred all members of the family and cut off the heirs of Prince Jing, leaving him with no possibility of turning back...
Li Yuanjing's whole body trembled violently. Such a plan was so vicious! But he has always been full of enthusiasm and no doubt, thinking that his charm is enough to impress the beauty, so that she will willingly surrender to his crotch and devote herself to him without any regrets. And he even thought about deposing the princess and sending her away. Righteous.
The whole person is in a trance...
Fang Jun watched silently from the side, and when he saw Li Chengqian's expression of emotion and couldn't bear it, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Are you comforting people, or are they hurting people? Since everyone in the family is dead and there is no chance that Li Yuanjing will return to the family in this life, there is no need to conceal the matter about Miss Dong.
I really don’t know whether His Highness the Crown Prince is kind and honest or sinister. These words are simply more cruel than stabbing Li Yuanjing in the heart with a knife. After all, the whole family may have died because of his stupidity, and the person who attacked him was the one he loved. A woman who is generous and trustworthy...
"Ah!"
Li Yuanjing suddenly burst out with a shrill roar, stood up suddenly, and bumped into a beam on the side. Fortunately, Fang Jun was standing next to him. Seeing his sudden madness, he stretched out his hand and yanked the prince for fear of hurting him. Although he did not hold him back, he slowed down Li Yuanjing's forward momentum. He hit the beam with a "bang" and his body fell softly, with blood flowing from his forehead.
Fang Jun was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check. He saw Li Yuanjing's face covered with blood and his expression was terrifying. He felt the artery in his neck and found a weak pulse, but he was not dead.
He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment."
Although Li Yuanjing's crime was extremely heinous, he could not die here, otherwise the prince would not be able to explain to the Li Tang royal family, venting his anger privately and killing people in a secret room, how could this be done by a wise king?
Li Chengqian was also a little anxious, but after he stepped forward to check and found that Li Yuanjing was not in danger, he breathed a sigh of relief. He must have been unable to bear the bad news for a while, and his head hit the beam and pillar, which caused dizziness. Causes coma.
As long as your life is not in danger, the rest doesn't matter. Anyway, the punishment will be clear soon to serve as a warning to others...
Chai Zhewei on the side was dumbfounded and swallowed hard, trembling all over, feeling scared and sad.
He and Li Yuanjing, in the past, a prince and a prince, were both the first-class lords in the world. They enjoyed endless glory and wealth. He himself held military power and was famous for his glory. However, he accidentally went astray and ended up where he is now. The state of being a prisoner.
He was imprisoned here without seeing the light of day, so he naturally didn't know the situation outside. However, it had been several months since the Guanlong uprising, and the East Palace was still standing after such a long time. It seemed that the situation was becoming more and more favorable to the East Palace.
Perhaps this time the East Palace can completely clear away the opposition forces in the court, securely occupy the position of crown prince, and inherit the unification and inheritance of the world in the future.
But he chose the wrong path, which not only resulted in the loss of the Duke's title in his own hands, but also caused the descendants of the Chai family to bear the name of "rebellion". Although Chai Lingwu's status as consort would not cause the whole family to be exiled, future generations would suffer. It is no longer possible to reach the center.
One misstep will lead to eternal hatred...
*****
Soon after, the imperial doctor arrived and gave a diagnosis and treatment: "His Royal Highness King Jing was so angry that he attacked his heart and diverted his heart. His head was severely hit and damaged, so he fell into coma for a while, but it was not serious. He just needs to be nursed back to health for a while. , keep a calm mind, and you will not suffer from sequelae. ”
Fang Jun, on the other hand, slandered. In Li Yuanjing's current state, he even committed suicide by hitting a pillar. This shows that the regret in his heart cannot be increased and he can only seek relief by dying. After this rescue, it would be difficult to have the courage to seek death again, but what happened to Beauty Dong was bound to be gnawing at him like maggots in his tarsal bones all the time. How could he maintain a calm state of mind?
Li Chengqian was helpless. Although Li Yuanjing would die in the future, the tragedy he suffered made him feel compassion. He told the imperial doctor and the guards in charge to take good care of the treatment and not to wait any longer, and then he took Fang Jun out.
Standing outside the house, Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at the sky sandwiched between the Xuanwu Gate and the Inner Gate. A few white clouds were floating in the air, and the sky was clear. Although he couldn't see the sun, he could still feel the warmth in the breeze. The cold winter was gradually far away. , but the mood was not much cheerful.
He sighed: "The imperial power is supreme, and countless heroes have flocked to it throughout the ages. Even the blood of brothers and the relationship between father and son cannot escape its temptation. They will not hesitate to lose their reputation and suffer eternal disaster. It is sad and deplorable."
Fang Jun stood behind him and curled his lips upon hearing this.
It sounds like you have an insight into the world and do not take imperial power, wealth and honor into consideration, but in fact among the dynasties throughout the ages, your succession to the throne of Li Tang was the bloodiest and most cruel.
And this is all thanks to your wise and mighty father... (End of Chapter)
