Chapter 589 Thunder on the ground

In the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Day will come.

But Luoyang was clouded, first Song Jing, Wang Zhimin and others were demoted from the court, and then Li Chaoyin and Bi Gou were demoted again.

At this point, all the righteousness that Li Xian had built up was lost.

Even in the west, Xueying and Guo Yuanzhen fought against the Tibetans in the snow, and they were not at a disadvantage. A new tactic appeared in this battle, sleds with javelins, which did not attract people's attention.

Webster continuously mobilized ministers, promoted and demoted, and felt that the court was full of her cronies, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng Jia came to Shangyang Palace.

I have to talk to Li Gu'er, it doesn't matter to others, if I don't comfort my headache daughter, first of all, Li Gu'er has to show up when worshiping immediately.What if she pointed at herself and said that she murdered the emperor?
Why did the eunuch next to Li Xian be called in to get the piano when Li Xian was poisoned?It was because Li Xian didn't drink well before drinking, so he cleared his suspicions.Then he called the imperial doctor, and under his own threat, he said that Li Xian died of a sudden illness.

What is also fighting for is this righteousness.

If it is proved that he poisoned his husband, the world will be in chaos immediately.

If Li Gu'er yelled during the sacrifice, the situation is very bad.

Moreover, this daughter is very "unfilial", and it is very likely that she will do this.

When he arrived at Guanfeng Hall, Wei Shi got off the phoenix chariot and found Li Bao'er.

Li Bao'er is copying the "Taishan Jing Shiyu Diamond Sutra" with cinnabar.This authentic work is not a manuscript, but a stone carving on a cliff, engraved with more than [-] lines of the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.The very large characters were originally located on the bed of Huagang River in Shiyu, Mount Tai. They originated from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I don’t know who wrote them.

When Wang Hua traveled to Mount Tai when he was a teenager, he passed by here, copied it by hand, and called it: Although it is called Fenkai, it is mostly in seal script, with rigorous Tibetan front, consistent strokes, decent turning, and simple shape.The meaning of seal script is far-reaching, dialed but not wanton, curved but not soft, undulating and subtle, stretching differently.It is also known as the unity of knot characters, harmony and harmony, comparable to Wang Ouyuchu.

Compare it with the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and his son, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang.

Although a little exaggerated, the calligraphy on this stele is thick and refined, sharp and clear, the best is clumsy but not rigid, the stippling is interesting, the disconnection appears and disappears, and there is a kind of generosity and grace.At the beginning, no one paid attention to it. It was not until a long time later, when the ancient stele was excavated, that this stone carving caused shock to the world.Bao Shichen, Kang Youwei and others praised it very much, and called it a masterpiece of calligraphy in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It's just that because of the appearance of Wang Hua, this stone carving was advanced by nearly 1000 years, which has attracted the attention of the world.Wang Ou, Yu, Chu and the five masters, for ordinary scholars, have no chance to meet.Even what you see is just a copy of others.But this stone carving was carved on granite, and no big family dared to dig it back together with the mountain wall at the risk of the world.

So many Shandong disciples went to visit, one is to see the wonders of Mount Tai, and the other is to see this stone carving.

Li Chiying has the most collection of Wang Hua's calligraphy, which was written by him in the early days, and Li Gu'er has the most collection of calligraphy written in the later period.Li Guer lost her father and was very sad, so she took out the Diamond Sutra and copied it. She decided to copy it a hundred times with cinnabar to save the dead for her father.

But this handwriting is not difficult for Wang Hua to copy, but it is not suitable for Li Gu'er.

When Li Guer was learning regular script, Wang Hua pointed out that Chu style was the most suitable for her, because Chu style was rich, smooth, charming and varied, which suited Li Guer's character and brushwork.At that time she was learning Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.After listening to Wang Hua's suggestion, he switched to Chu style, and his calligraphy has made great progress.

There were also people who secretly reported to Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian just said lightly: "Chu Suiliang's handwriting is not as good as yours, isn't it?"

The man ran away in desperation.

Now Li Gu'er's characters are gradually finalized, imitating this "Diamond Sutra", it is more than beautiful and varied, but it is simple and elegant, and I can't see it at all.

Wei Shi stood behind her, seeing her struggling to write, couldn't help saying: "This character is not suitable for you to write."

Li Gu'er turned her head and saw that it was her mother, her face turned cold.Although Shangguan Xiaowan took a huge risk and sent Jiang Cai'er to inform her that she was sad but not angry, sad but not resentful, but she still couldn't help pointing to the red letter on the paper and said: "Mother, this is the son who is here Forgive me for you."

Wei Shi was furious when she heard that, but when she saw the blood-red handwriting on the paper, she couldn't help shivering when she thought of the blood that Li Xian spat out from his mouth that day.

In fact, during this time, she often had nightmares.

He didn't do anything wrong, and he wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. It didn't matter if he killed other people, mainly Li Xian.When Li Xian was alive, Webster believed that Li Xian had failed him, but actually found a reason to give him the courage and courage to kill Li Xian.But after his death, he also thought of Li Xian's benefits and felt indebted.

Even disregarding the public opinion outside, during this period of time, she summoned Wu Yanxiu into the palace every night to accompany her to bed. This had nothing to do with her physical needs, but mainly to strengthen her courage at night.

But she is a person with abnormal mind, she calmed down quickly, and said: "Gu'er, I just want to say, this is just a coincidence, every emperor doesn't live as long as your mother. Taizong only lived to be 50 years old , Gaozong was in his early sixties, and looking at dozens of emperors in the Han Dynasty, some of them died of illness in their prime. If you follow your reasoning, wouldn’t they all be murdered by people? Even if the short emperors of the Han Dynasty were murdered by people Yes, who would dare to murder Emperor Taizong?"

Li Gu'er didn't answer, but she was very emotional.

Therefore, when writing the word "wave", I didn't pay attention.

The wave character on the copybook is still exquisite, the three dots of water are pulled apart obliquely, and the word "you" is connected vertically on the leather character, but it has become a straight hook and a stroke, which is intended to be a running script without the slightest sharpness. Make this wave word full of fun.

However, Li Gu'er returned to the old style of writing, and added a "you" vertically, neatly, neatly, and charmingly, but without the old-fashioned meaning.

Wei Shi went on to say: "I'll ask you again, even if I want to murder the emperor, even if I want to murder the emperor, I will not reveal half of such a confidential matter, even if the Wei family's gentlemen, I will not reveal half of it. Who chewed the tongue and said this to you?" ?”

This was also another goal of her coming. Li Xianjian was there at the time, and she didn't know who broke the news to Li Gu'er.But he didn't dare to investigate further, so he hastily executed dozens of eunuchs and maids serving Li Gu'er.Then confine Li Gu'er, and make the big and small things trivial, so as not to attract Li Xian's attention.

But now that the dust has settled, it's best to find out if it's possible.

Relying on those eunuchs and court ladies, they didn't have the vision to guess that they might do it.

She now has two suspects in her heart. The first is that Li Dan and his son and Princess Taiping made the budget, so she used Li Bao'er's mouth to remind Li Xian.They all have this opportunity, but there is still one thing Webster can't figure out.In fact, the death of Li Xian is also good for them. If Li Xian is not dead, they will have no chance to seize the world.

But it's hard to say, maybe they are not ready yet, so I hope I don't do it for the time being.

If this is the reason, she doesn't have to worry, because it's just speculation and there is no evidence.

The second object of suspicion was the two people who were poisoned to death by her, Ma Qinke and Yang Jun.They have prepared poison for themselves, and they may think of killing themselves.As a precaution, they quietly left some evidence.

If this could be true, I should be careful.

After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at Li Gu'er's face.

But she didn't notice anything unusual, and Wei Shi regretted it in her heart. If she had known this before, she might as well have kept a few alive and had a look at who had contact with Li Gu'er during that time.

Helpless, she had no choice but to resort to the last trump card.

Webster said again: "Gu'er, I sent an imperial envoy to Lingzhou a few days ago to announce the decree to Wang Hua, conferring on him the post of Fuguo General Jia Guanglu."

This sentence finally caught Li Gu'er's attention. She looked at her mother in astonishment. As a princess, she knew the status of these two positions.In the past, she fought for Wang Hua's interests with her parents many times.

However, the results did not satisfy her.In fact, she also knew that this was just her ideal, Wang Hua was too young, and this age became a constraint for Wang Hua.

I didn't expect my mother to have such courage.

But then she understood her mother's intention in exchange for Wang Hua's support.

Therefore, Li Gu'er frowned slightly, and just let out a cold snort.

Webster didn't take it seriously, but gradually disgust began to prevail over liking.But her city was extremely deep, and she didn't show anything on her face, she continued: "There is another task, and that is to settle your marriage."

Li Gu'er had a sneer on his face, but he remained silent.

Webster felt even more disgusted.

She said meaningfully: "The Wu family has repeatedly asked Gu to marry you to Wu Yanxiu. You are a pair of talented men and women, and Gu can't think clearly about it now. The descendants of the famous Wu family, the family of the queen mother's relatives. There are many children, just like the Wu family Gu's support undoubtedly added another force to defend the country's security. But if you were married to Wu Yanxiu, I don't know how you would feel. Or married to Wang Hua, but Wang Hua was uncertain about Gu. Being alone makes life difficult.”

After finishing speaking, I left.

He didn't say it clearly, but undoubtedly this sentence told Li Gu'er, listen to me, you and Wang Hua still have room for discussion.If you don't listen to me, I will marry you to Wu Yanxiu, so that you will never be able to stay together.

Seeing the aftermath of her departure, Li Bao'er angrily tore the paper on the table to pieces.

But Webster wasn't happy for long, he received an urgent report as soon as he left Shangyang Palace.

Seeing the urgent report, Webster was so shocked that he didn't even know that the report had fallen to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The coldest place in the 23 prefectures is the Jishi Mountain area, and it is a little bit better in the south of Piaohe, or Fengzhou in the north and the newly drawn Yinshan prefecture are also very cold.But other places can't be as warm as spring.For example, the Yellow River on the west side of Lingzhou is so frozen that you can run a horse on it.

Relatively speaking, Wuzhou is much better. Although it is still cold, there is Xiqing Mountain in the west, which separates the cold air flow on the plateau, and Liupan Mountain in the northwest, which also blocks the cold air from the northwest. .

But Wuzhou is now far inferior to Wuzhou in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and even inferior to the Sui Dynasty.At that time, Wudu County was one of the most important states and counties in the world.

There are two reasons for this. The first is that the road from Hanzhong to Chang’an is further widened. The second is that Tubo has become stronger and invaded frequently. From western Sichuan to Wumin River Shan area, the population began to wither due to the invasion of Tubo people. So Wuzhou began to decline.

The latter reason is the most important.

However, with the recovery of Jishi Mountain, the direct threat of more than a dozen states such as Dangwu, Mindie, Heshankuo, etc. has been lifted. Coupled with Wang Hua's large investment, this old city has gradually regained its prosperous appearance.

A large amount of goods came from Bashu and entered the 23 states, or entered Weiqin and other state capitals.

Even in this winter, there are still many vehicles on the road, driving slowly.

But because of this, Wuzhou is heavily guarded.

This was caused by the terrain. In order to make it difficult for the court to block the 23 states, Wang Hua deliberately begged for these two impoverished states.But in this way, within the 23 prefectures, the northeast reaches Yunshuo, the east is near Taiyuan River, the abdomen is close to Guanzhong Chang'an, and the southern part of these two prefectures is close to Hanzhong and Bashu.

The imperial court imagined that the eight states were sealed off as before, and it became a fantasy.

However, the two prefectures of Wudang are like a sharp cone, piercing in the middle of Mincheng and Fushu prefectures, and it is very difficult to defend.

Moreover, there are many tall mountains and rivers in the territory, the terrain is complex, and it has not been long since the new harvest, so people's hearts are not stable.Therefore, this area has become the top priority in Wang Hua's defense. For safety, not only Guo Zhiyun was sent to sit in the town, but Guo Qianguan was also asked to lead the Tianji Army to sit in Wuzhou, and Zhang Shougui's Yuheng Army to sit in the same area. The state side should also belong to Guo Zhiyun's militia division, and it is also training in the four states.

Of course, when the Tubo people were preparing to fight, they were temporarily recruited, but the battle calmed down, and the army was sent back immediately.

In other words, in these four small and narrow states, the regular army has reached 2 people, plus more than 1 militiamen.

On this day, as before, the city gates of Wuzhou opened early, and teams of neat troops came out of the city and began to train outside the city.Then it was the turn of the people and merchants lining up inside and outside the city to enter.

As usual, the soldiers guarding the city gate carefully inspected the certificates and goods of the merchants and people in the past.

But relatively speaking, soldiers from other states in the Central Plains are more disciplined, and there are almost no incidents of extortion and bribery.

At this moment, a group of six or seven people came hurriedly, and there was a pretty young woman among them.However, this group of people was dressed in rags and looked very down and out.

When they came to the gate of the city, they did not enter the city, but a man came out from the middle, came to the soldiers at the gate of the city, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, are you Wang Hua's subordinates?"

The dozen or so soldiers guarding the city raised their heads together, with anger in their eyes.Wang Hua?No matter if it's the chief executive or the battalion supervisor, you can call him by name. What qualifications do you have to call Wang Hua by his name directly?

If it hadn't been for Wang Hua's repeated military orders not to be intimidating to the common people, they would have kicked him to the ground.

But the leading lieutenant was very quick-witted, and he immediately felt strange.It has been several months since Wuzhou was placed under the unified management of the blood battalion. Why is there such a strange problem.He replied: "Exactly, may I ask who you are?"

"Can you let us meet Wang Hua?"

"Who are you?" The lieutenant was also a little annoyed. He suppressed his anger and said, "I'm sorry, our chief executive is in Lingzhou, not here. If you want to meet the chief executive, please go to Lingzhou."

He thought to himself, who are they, who want to meet our battalion governor?We also need to report.

The man replied: "Please excuse me again, this place is in charge of the Xuezi Camp, just like Prince Chongjun asking for an audience."

Whoa!
The weapons were raised together, and all the people who entered and exited stopped together and looked at the group of people.

The dozen or so soldiers also panicked, Prince Chongjun, which one doesn't know?

The captain looked at him nervously, and asked, "That one is Chongjun, no, that one is the crown prince?"

Regardless of whether he was conspiracy or not, he has been missing for so many years, and now it appears, it is not known whether it is true or not.It's true, what does that mean?It's not something he, a small lieutenant, can master.

The man pointed behind him. There was a young man with a square face, but his face was very haggard.Almost everyone has heard of Li Chongjun's name, but no one has seen it.Seeing that the situation was unclear, several big men around Li Chongjun immediately protected Li Chongjun in the middle.

The captain thought for a while and immediately said, "Wait a minute."

Well, I don't understand this matter, so let's report it to General Guo.

Guo Zhiyun was discussing matters with a group of officials in the city, and when he heard the captain's report, he was equally astonished, and so were the others.

He immediately said, "Let me take a look."

Bring a group of people out of the city.

In fact, Li Chongjun suddenly appeared in Wuzhou, Guo Zhiyun knew about it, but there were no more than 100 people in the blood camp who knew about it, and they were all the backbone of the blood camp.But except for Guo Zhiyun, no one else knew.

Guo Zhiyun knew the inside story of this matter, but he didn't know Li Chongjun either. Looking at the dumb people, he looked around and asked, "Which one is the prince?"

Li Chongjun came out from the crowd, hugged him and said, "Guzheng. I don't know your general's name?"

"I'm Guo Zhiyun."

"It turned out to be General Guo, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

"You said you were the prince, what evidence do you have? I also heard that you have been missing for a long time, why did you appear in Wuzhou?"

Li Chongjun wiped away his tears, this was just for show, but these tears are three points real, after all, a crown prince, he is very ashamed to be reduced to such a state.

Then he said: "General Guo, this matter is difficult to explain in one word. At the beginning, Gu felt that Wu Sansi and Webster's plot was not cunning, so he wanted to clear the king's side. Fortunately, Gu killed Wu Sansi and eliminated the great harm for the country. However, the late emperor listened to the demon queen's words Slandering, I was lonely and didn’t want to hurt the first emperor, so that time the Qing emperor failed. Then he was besieged by the demon queen and fled to Mang Mountain. That time, he was so lonely that his soldiers were bewitched by the demon queen, and some people began to rebel Gu, killed each other. Fortunately, at this time, several strong men who had been favored by Gu wanted to rescue Gu."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few strong men behind him.He also said: "It happened that they heard the sound of weapons and followed the sound to find them. The situation was critical at that time, so they did not notify Gu's subordinates and quietly rescued Gu. Instead of going east, they followed Mang Mountain all the way west and entered Xiaoshan, and went south into Funiu Mountain, in a hidden mountainous area, and was secretly taken in by a good man named Liu."
Pointing to Miss Liu again: "It's her father. This seclusion will last for several years."

Having said that, he wept miserably.

In this way, many onlookers began to believe that neither Oceania nor the Northwest is a place to raise people's complexion, that is, Li Chongjun was confined in that secret courtyard, and later arranged in the Qinling Mountains for several days, let the north wind blow , some cracks appeared on the face, and the skin was blown black.It made Li Chongjun feel as if he had worked hard for several years.

Moreover, Funiu Mountain is tall and vast, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the imperial court's management of this area is also very weak.If there is intention to hide it, and someone protects and cooperates, it will be difficult for the court to detect it.

After Li Chongjun finished speaking, he took out another talisman from his pocket, which was the talisman he had as the crown prince back then.

Guo Zhiyun looked at it and asked again: "Then why did the prince come to Wuzhou at this time?"

"General Guo, some time ago, I sent my subordinates out to inquire about the news from the outside world. When they heard about the death of the emperor, they immediately guessed that the emperor was killed by the demon queen. So he came all the way along the mountainous area, to the northwest, and asked the king Hua seeks justice for the father and the emperor, and punishes the empress."

"The emperor's servants have also heard that he died of a sudden illness and had nothing to do with the queen."

"General Guo, do you say the same thing? I don't believe that the Demon Empress should open the Zi Palace, and let the imperial physicians test again to see if the father really died of a sudden illness."

"Prince, even if what you said is true, who in the world has the guts to open the Zi Palace and look at the dragon face of the late emperor?"

"General Guo, if you don't believe me, there is only one piece of evidence. Ma Sandui, come out."

A big man came out from behind him.

Li Chongjun said: "The person who sold the news of the blood battalion to the Turkic people, so that the six thousand soldiers of the blood battalion almost couldn't return to the Central Plains, was the demon queen. She sent out a total of two people, and Ma Sandui was one of them. Later, Ma Sandui Sandui regretted it very much, but did not dare to explain the truth to Wang Hua. So he took refuge in Gu. Gu was planning to notify Wang Yingdu, but the time was urgent. On the side of the Qing emperor, he later informed Wang Yingdu. But he didn't expect this time to become a life-and-death escape."

"Are you telling the truth?" A big man rushed out and grabbed Li Chongjun by the collar of his clothes.

"Qianguan, don't be rude, put down the prince."

It turned out that Guo Qianguan immediately rushed to watch the excitement after hearing about it.When he heard about this incident, he was so angry that he grabbed Li Chongjun's collar.

Guo Zhiyun was not involved in the events of that year, but Guo Qianguan suffered greatly from it and almost couldn't come back.Moreover, countless close comrades-in-arms fell one after another. This is a hidden pain in the blood camp, and it is also a hidden pain in Guo Qianguan's heart.

But Li Chongjun was slandering in his heart, thinking, you knew about this a long time ago.Even though he was singing, he couldn't grab Gu's chest with such great strength.

But the person was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head, so he could only hold back his anger and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask Ma Sandui."

Ma Sandui began to kneel down and make a heavy oath.

Guo Qianguan yelled angrily, "I'm going to kill this demon queen."

He was stopped by Guo Zhiyun and said: "General Guo, don't speak lightly. We can't say whether what Ma Sandui said is true or not. Even if the prince is true or not, we don't know the prince. We must Inform the chief executive. The chief executive and His Royal Highness handle several friends' disaster relief affairs in Huabian and Bianzhou, and they are very familiar with each other. Let the chief executive come to distinguish."

Li Chongjun said: "That's just right."

Then he said embarrassingly: "Can you give Gu and his party a bite to eat. Gu came all the way, and his pockets are ashamed, and he hasn't eaten for more than two days."

This also explains why he asked to see him when he came to Wuzhou.Played the sad card again.

Actually the business is all about acting.But Li Chongjun cannot be allowed to appear in Lingzhou, as this will immediately remind people that Li Chongjun was rescued by Wang Hua back then.

After all, Li Chongjun was convicted of treason by Li Xian, which would make Wang Hua lose part of his morality.

With such a reason, the suspicion of Wang Hua's participation was cleared, and he took the opportunity to announce the inside story of the blood camp's betrayal to the world.

Li Chongjun was taken back to Wuzhou by Guo Zhiyun and the others, who gave him a meal and changed his clothes.They didn't dare to stay longer in Wuzhou, so they were escorted immediately, via Dangzhou to Diezhou, and then to Lanzhou.After all, Wuzhou's terrain is too thin.If the imperial court knew and immediately sent troops to attack, the loss of Wuzhou would be a minor issue, but the safety of the prince who "doesn't know" the truth or falsehood would be a major issue.

When he arrived in Lanzhou before arriving in Lingzhou, Wang Hua received the news and came to greet him.

When the two met, Wang Hua pretended to be surprised and asked, "Prince, how did you become like this?"

It's not good, he has been haggard and aged a lot in recent years.

But after Wang Hua finished asking, he really wanted to laugh.This trip was also deliberately arranged by Wang Hua, and it was true that he traveled through the Qinling Mountains for several days and suffered a lot.The cracks on his face were blown out in the past few days.

If you don't endure hardships, how can you become a master, Prince, I am doing this for your own good.

Whether it was for his kindness is unknown, but Wang Hua's original intention was to be realistic, and it was also a prank.

"Recognized", Wang Hua immediately got off his horse and went to see His Royal Highness.

Li Chongjun couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, so he had to sing again, helped Wang Hua up, but turned his head, fell down on Wang Hua, and cried loudly: "Wang Yingdu, I beg you to give my father justice.

Wang Hua pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Prince, I have no real evidence, how do you want me to send troops?"

Li Chongjun said disappointedly: "Don't you think it's normal for the father to celebrate his death?"

Wang Hua hesitated for a while, then replied: "To be honest, I am also skeptical. And I have sent someone to investigate the matter. But I can't give you an answer without evidence."

A suspicious word was used, although Bing Fawei was not mentioned, but it was very interesting.

When the news got out, it was like a thunderbolt, resounding all over the world.
