The Huae Xianghui Tower in Xingqing Palace has never been opened again since the new king ascended the throne. This was once one of Li Longji's favorite buildings. It was known as the most magnificent palace in Xingqing Palace, and it was even known as the first floor in the world. In the past, on the birthday of the emperor or on the festival day, there would often be banquets here to entertain the ministers. From here, you can see the Ning Wang's House, Qi Wang's House, and Xue Wang's House. Li Longji often summoned several brothers to have a banquet together, and after getting drunk, they would sleep together.

However, Li Longji is different from his father Li Longji. When Li Longji was still the prince Pingwang, he was deeply loved by ministers, and Qi Yu was recognized by everyone. Even if Princess Taiping asked for trouble, she could only tell Li Longji was not the eldest son. Therefore, Li Longji was able to show kindness to brothers such as Ning on the surface, but secretly took strict precautions. However, Li Longji's position was completely lucky to others. His only reputation was probably good at studying and nothing else was discussed. Even though he was on the throne, his brothers and nephews were still eyeing him, and the folk rumors never stopped. Therefore, he was urged by his sons to take turns to fight, and he had to raise his butcher knife.

But once such a butcher knife is lifted, it cannot be taken back.

At this moment, Li Zi walked in a daze on the Huaye Xianghui Tower, which had been in the air for a long time. His eyes were dull and his expression was dazed. There seemed to be a vague sound in his ears. There were also some illusions in front of him. But Li Longji sat in the middle, and his ministers were lined up below. The central part of the palace was the Jiaofangsi and the Seating Department played the instruments in his hands intently, and the prosperous atmosphere of singing and dancing. The princes and grandchildren, mixed with the ministers, drank and had fun, and their faces were filled with the satisfaction of being drunk today. He even found himself in it. Although he had no pleasure on his face, he did not have the sorrow and helplessness he could clearly see when he looked in the mirror these days.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

An eunuch stumbled in, knelt on the ground with a pounce, and said in a hurry: "His Highness of the King of Chu set fire to the houses of King Pingyuan and King Qing."

Li Zi woke up with a trembling heart, then shouted angrily: "Who gives him the power? How dare he act so recklessly?"

The eunuch knew that the King of Chu was the eldest son of the emperor, and the battle with the King of Qi for the position of the Eastern Palace was almost in full swing. In addition, the other three older princes jumped up and down to fan the flames, but Li Zi was unable to control himself as the emperor. Therefore, he did not dare to take on this topic and quickly said carefully: "Your Highness of the King of Qi is also here. Your Highness of Qi said that if King Pingyuan, King Siqing and others can escape from Chang'an, the royal family of the Sixteen Kings' Houses must have secretly helped, so he transferred the imperial guards and wanted to search for the Sixteen Kings' Houses and the Baisun Courtyard."

Hearing this, Li Zi finally changed his expression suddenly. He sat on the ground without any ethics, and after a while, two words burst out from his mouth.

"Rebellious son"

After Li Su succeeded to the throne, because the people found in Zongzheng Temple were well-known, Li Xian, the King of Zhongling, could not argue, and could only admit that it was him who set fire to the small courtyard of Princess Guangping Princess Cui. However, since King Yi Li died, I was a fellow Taoist who was absent son, I was not willing to be outdone. Li Xian insisted that his father was not only aware of the situation, but also the mastermind. Li Xian thought that if he was involved in this way, Li Yuan, the new king, had to face Li's brother, with his own brother, but he did not expect that his testimony would send the family into the abyss.

After a public trial, King Li Xian of Zhongling was sentenced to death, and from his father, King Li of Yi, to all his descendants, they all deposed the title of the king and became common people, Changliu Lingnan

In most people's minds, it was both a lucky person and was once a lenient person. Li Zi should naturally appoint wise ministers to appease the royal family, and then slowly restore the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. No one expected that he would be so cruel. However, for those ministers who advised him, Li Zi made up the reason why Princess Cui and his son of Guangping were innocently victimized, and blocked the people who wanted to plead. At the same time, he raised the King of Guangping and Jianning, who had originally been posthumously conferred by Li Longji, and posthumously conferred as King Yong and King Qi, respectively, Cui was given the title of Prince Yong, and the two sons were given the title of Prince of Yuanjia. Li Yao and Li Ju also recovered the title of Prince of Prince of Wang.

One was to be punished by the prison and the other was to be injustice. Although this turmoil caused many people to complain, most people could not find any mistakes. But just two months later, Zhang Liangdi was revealed to be disgusted by the emperor and plotting against him. At this time, King Li Zhi of Wu happened to be sick, and King Li Shuxuan of Han fell off his horse. None of the other royal families in Zongzheng Temple were willing to take over such a case that was too obvious, but Li Zi's sons were like wild beasts smelling blood, all swarming up.

Even in such a case that took nearly a year, Zhang Liangdi was forced to commit suicide. King Li of Nanyang moved to Xiaozhou, Lingnan to leave, and the rest of Li Heng and his sons were demoted one by one. Seeing that the emperor was purged by the royal family in this way, Pei Kuan was discouraged and said no less than dozens of ministers to retire. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wang Jin immediately thought of a plan to escape and would rather go far away to become the governor of Jiangnan. Seeing that the emperor was so ruthless, someone took out the old things that Li Longji was friendly to his brothers after he ascended the throne, and started a vigorous knock on him.

Faced with such a kowtow, Li Fang, the eldest son of Li Yuan, who was originally named King Xingyang and later King Chu, crossed Chen Xuanli, and set off the imperial guards. The blood flowed into a river. He was incited to gather in front of the palace and killed and injured hundreds of officials and civilians. The leading royal family was Li Yan, who was relieved of the title of king by Li Longji. After that, no one had any fantasies about the emperor's kindness. Chen Xuanli took all his responsibilities and retired and returned home. Because of this, Li Yuan could not help but bend the will of his sons. Almost all the power of the imperial guards was divided by the five older sons, and each of them tried different ways to increase their strength.

Li Zi never expected that the bitter fruits he had caused by his indulgence to him, so he wanted him to taste the sons who were restless. Seeing that Du Shiyi was devoted to implementing the two-tax system in Hebei, appeased the people, and even took the initiative to lay off soldiers, and rarely involved in the right and wrong of the government, they became even more violent. But these brothers killed and treated the people harshly, they all had to bear the blame for all the bad reputations of the people in Guanzhong. Now, the complaints from the people of Guanzhong have spread from outside the palace to the palace, and even he has heard it.

Seeing that Li Zi was so incompetent, the eunuch quickly stepped forward and helped the emperor up. After hesitating for a while, he said carefully: "It's really not possible, why not ask Du Shaoqing to dispatch the flying dragon cavalry?"

When Li Zi heard the words Du Shaoqing, his face changed immediately. Although in the four years since he ascended the throne, the Fourth Army of the North Gate had expanded and recruited and had recovered to 40,000 people. In contrast, the Flying Dragon Cavalry had only 7,000 troops. However, the troops of the Fourth Army of the North Gate were scattered in the hands of King of Chu and King Qi and others, but the Flying Dragon Cavalry had only one voice, and the training was so strict that it was far better than the Fourth Army of the North Gate. He was determined to reduce such an army that was not under his control. He originally planned to start by reducing expenses, but the bones of the Flying Dragon Cavalry made contributions to the people's defense of Chang'an. The wind was revealed and immediately aroused a strong rebound among the civilian army. He could not bear the consequences.

Therefore, he could only try to avoid using such an army to prevent uncontrollable situations.

"No, no need to send me a command to the King of Chu and King of Qi, tell them, come back to see me immediately, otherwise I will depose them as commoners."

Li Zi thought that this would give them a shock. After all, there were three other sons eyeing the Eastern Palace. However, the eunuch who was currently going to send the order came back in a panic with a clearly visible whip mark on his face, saying that the other three kings were also present, and they all supported the King of Chu and King Qi, saying that they would first settle the house when they fight against foreign countries and apologize together. He only felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted. He didn't even know how he stumbled out of the Huaye Xianghui Tower, but he felt sad and angry and frightened in his heart.

Why don’t these rebellious sons know that everything must be measured, and the prince and the prince were cleansed. King Yan was already in decline and he was deposed by Li Longji. King Pingyuan and others escaped. Only when they saw that no news had been heard so far, they knew that they were also the main purpose of saving their lives. In this way, they would investigate slowly, why bother causing such a storm in the house of the Sixteen Kings?

Li Zi had completely lost control of his sons, and the political affairs hall also caused an uproar. Pei Kuan had already resigned from the prefecture. Now the successor prime minister, such as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, Helan Jinming, is the best at changing the situation. Li Zi was indecisive and capricious, and his sons fought for power and profit. He could not control the balance at all, and he did not want to offend the future Eastern Palace. When things were in big trouble in the past, he even had to ask Jingzhao Yin Yuwen Shen to come forward, hoping that those princes could cause less trouble because Du Youlin supported Yuwen Shen behind Yuwen Shen.

If Jiang Silang was still in Chang'an, he might not have been like this now

Helan Jinming, the most conceited person in the past, didn't take Du Shiyi seriously, but now he can't help but miss Jiang Du's strength. At least with Jiang Du's strength, he wouldn't have tolerated those princes to do so. Unfortunately, how could Li Zi trust Du Shiyi's in-laws wholeheartedly? Since Zhang Liangdi committed suicide, Jiang Dou's family had moved out of Chang'an, and the emperor also accused him. The former beautiful house has now become an empty house. He was promoted to the Secretariat and looked at Fang Ma, the latter immediately said angrily: "I went to see Du Youlin in person, and at this time I can only count on the Feilong Knight."

Fang Ma was a person that Zhang Shuo admired when he was in power. He then had a relationship with Li Shizhi, and his qualifications and connections were quite prominent in the court. He was a bit nerd-like and upright, and Helan Jinming was always very afraid of him. At this moment, he saw that Fang Ma was planning to invite Du Youlin to take action without asking about it. He sneered secretly, thinking that this was indeed a straightforward nerd, but he didn't say anything. Until the person left, he immediately summoned an eunuch and ordered him to report Fang Ma's own initiative to the emperor. After the arrangement was made, he proudly calculated how many days Fang Ma could still be in the Political Affairs Hall.

"Prime Minister, Helan Prime Minister"

Seeing a Shi Shi from the outside world running in like a burning butt, and recognizing that he was the leader of the minor officials in the cardinal room, Helan Jinming immediately realized that something big happened. When he thought that the Sixteen Kings House was still in chaos, he felt a faint pain in his temple, but he still tried his best to ask: "What's the matter?"

"King Yan... No, it's a commoner, Li Yan, has many children and grandchildren. After exiled to Lingnan, many of them were still alive. So these people sent people to send letters to the governors of various towns, asking for justice. The surviving emperors and even great-grandchildren of the Eastern Palace have also circulated many manifestos."

That made Shi said this with a furious moment. Seeing that Helan Jinming was so shocked that he had to stammer, he had to continue saying: "A few of them were sent here. The manifesto said that His Majesty did not re-recommended the ministers and became the treasure. It was not just because of luck, but originally designed the King of Nanyang and King Yi, and used sweet words to squeeze the King of Pingyuan to withdraw, and finally picked up the throne."

Helan Jinming felt that all his hair was standing up. He stood up and quickly walked outside. Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard in the corridor, he felt a little relieved. After all, what Li Zi was most afraid of was how others mentioned how he was able to get the position. When he returned to his seat, he snatched the few pieces of paper from Ling Shi and quickly swept it through ten lines at a glance. He immediately thought of the cruel cleansing that the Tang royal families suffered during the reign of Empress Zetian Wu of the Tang Dynasty during the reign of the Wu family.

Could it be that the tragedy that year is about to happen again? No, the situation was different from the current situation, and the situation is even worse now

"Don't report it first, wait until there is a result on the Sixteen Kings' House."

Helan Jinming finally made a decision and ordered the Lingshi to pay attention to collecting all the news in this regard and controlling the public opinion of the five houses of the Central Secretariat. He had just sent the person. However, with such a bad news that could not be broken, he no longer had the heart to plot when Fang Ma would leave his post, and was more worried about the current situation. But just when he was waiting for the news, and the time was as sunny as even as the year, what was waiting for was Fang Ma who came back because he didn't ask for a saint to come back from Du Youlin and was summoned to Zichen Palace by Li.

This time, as the initiator, he hoped that Fang Ma would get out and he could invoke his allies into the Political Affairs Hall, but he had to bite the bullet and go to the timely assistance. Because he knew very well that if Fang Ma was really dismissed for his own actions, or was subject to more severe punishment, the news that many exiled royal families wrote letters and issued proclamations spread, and Li Zi was furious and might not have added a person to the Political Affairs Hall according to his wishes. Could it be that he, the prime minister, be the only thing he was glad that after Li Zi ascended the throne, he stayed in the Daming Palace, and he did not have a long journey to the Political Affairs Hall.

Even though the road was not the longest, the palace was not allowed to ride a horse. It was about two quarters of an hour later when he finally arrived at Zichen Hall. In front of the high steps, he ran into two men with a bit of smoke and fire on their faces and blood on their clothes. Looking at the color of the clothes, he immediately recognized them as King Li Fang of Chu and King Li Dai of Qi. Although in the past, the actual status of the prime minister was often higher than that of the prince, Li Zi and his sons were arrogant and domineering, and did not have a single fuel-saving lamp. He Lan Jinming had to be more respectful in terms of etiquette, but Li Fang and Li Dai were disdainful and nodded in return, so they nodded slightly and left him.

Helan Jinming was also a famous figure in the Qilin after all. After being despised, he just twitched slightly, then waved to an eunuch and asked in a low voice: "Are you two kings coming back from the Sixteenth King's House to meet His Majesty?"

"Yes." The eunuch saw that the King of Chu and King Qi had already gone far, so he dared to explain a few more words, "The Censorate Prison has been filled, and Your Majesty is furious, but the two kings are determined to do so... Two kings come here, and there are three kings on the Censorate. Alas, no wonder the Censor Zhongcheng replaced people before the age of the year, and the ones replaced them were all the answers of these kings."

Helan Jinming only felt angry and funny, but more sad. The emperor Li Zi was so cowardly. Since he had the title of dominating the world, he really made up his mind to deal with a few rebellious men. He would respond with a shout. He could only jump in the palace now. He didn't ask anything more, lifted up the corner of his robe and started to go up the steps one by one. When he arrived outside the Zichen Hall, he heard Fang Ma's sign loud voice inside.

"If Your Majesty continues to tolerate it, it will be not only the Sixteen Kings' Houses and the Hundred Suns' Courtyard, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City." Fang Ma was so anxious that he was so anxious that he was so anxious that the King of Chu and King of Qi had just said that the Censors of Taichung had imprisoned 100,000 royal families except when Empress Zetian was the tyrant of all martial arts, there was no such precedent in the Tang Dynasty."

"Stop talking, don't say anything more." Li Zi finally barely recovered and glared at Fang Ma and shouted angrily, "If you don't have my order, you will go to the Feilong Stable to transfer the Feilong Knight without permission. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Go down, I don't want to hear these pros and cons of you now. This is my family matter, so the prime minister doesn't need to interrupt."

This is not a family matter, it is a national matter

Fang Ma really wanted to say such a blowjob, but his eyes turned black and weak. He didn't even know how he walked out of Zichen Palace, and for the first time he felt what Li Shizhi felt back then. It was not until he was excited by the cold wind that his head was a little clearer, and then he noticed that Helan Jinming, who was holding him beside him, was not very harmonious in the Political Affairs Hall.

"I happened to enter the hall, but Your Majesty was not intent on speaking. When I saw that Fang Gong was not in good shape, I simply pulled you out." Helan Jinming didn't mention the report he made at all, and comforted Fang Ma with good words like a close friend. Seeing that the other party was in a better mood, as soon as he returned to the Political Affairs Hall, he revealed the super heavyweight news that had not been reported. The next moment, he saw Fang Ma's face as if he hadn't helped the leader, I was afraid that the servant would sit on the ground in a flash.

"Your Majesty is really wrong. Now he deals with several kings. At most, he can be imprisoned. At most, he can calm the anger of the public. But once the public anger swept from all over the world, at that time, even the golden branches and jade leaves will be broken into powder. Your Majesty, why are you so obsessed with it?"

Helan Jinming saw that Fang Ma was so excited, and he frowned. What mattered now was not grief, but to think of a solution, but when Fang Ma finally calmed down and sat against him, news from the cardinal room followed one after another, but it was all so bad. Fang Ma read these urgent reports with trembling hands, and finally looked up at Helan Jinming and said, "Since Your Majesty is stubborn, then send these things to King Chu King Qi and other kings to see. Knowing that the people in the world are full of grievances and unstable people, they should know the pros and cons."

Although Helan Jinming doubted whether this would be useful, he was now treating the dead horse as a living horse, and the idea was made by Fang Ma. He thought there was no better way, so he nodded silently. He saw that Fang Ma had all the documents in his arms and walked out in person, clearly intending to have a head-on confrontation with King Li Fang and others of Chu. Although he hated this stubborn old man in the past, at this moment, Helan Jinming couldn't help but pray for Fang Ma silently.

I hope this time I can make those princes who are lost by power lose their way

There were no traces of the rebels siege several years ago on the streets of the imperial capital Chang'an, only the bustling rivers were endless. A middle-aged scholar in white walked slowly on the Zhuque Street, staring at the pedestrians coming and going, for the first time, wondering whether it was meaningful to send a letter to the capital. If you want to say that there were no wise ministers in the court? Helan Jinming was very famous among the scholars, and Fang Ma was not an incompetent person. There were also many capable people in the three provinces and various prisons. However, what kind of emperor sat on the imperial throne determines what the imperial capital was like. Otherwise, how could he have just arrived in Chang'an yesterday and the Sixteen Kings' House was so chaotic today?

"The Prime Minister Fang was knocked unconscious by the King of Chu in the Censorate"

Hearing this sudden shout, the scholar in white frowned in disbelief, but as he rushed towards the direction of the Daming Palace, the news along the way became more and more detailed. When he came to Danfeng Gate, he saw that there were at least hundreds of people surrounding him. When the dense crowd finally made way for a ox cart that was obviously carrying Fangma passed, it showed a dead silence. I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly heard an angry shout.

"The kings are cruel, the emperor is unkind"

Even though Li Mi was once a young child prodigy, read a lot of books and was used to reading various strange stories in history books, after hearing this sudden sound, he could not help but shivered. He subconsciously turned his head and left, but went straight to Guo Ziyi's mansion. However, when he saw the mansion from afar, he also saw clearly the imperial guards in front of the door, which were three steps, five steps and one whistle in front of the door, and clearly saw that all the passers-by were going to be investigated, and his heart immediately sank into the bottomless abyss.

Guo Ziyi gave up military power and stayed in Beijing for the sake of the overall situation. As a result, the emperor was so "respected" by the emperor.

"I think when Du Shiyi left Chang'an, did she have already calculated to this day?"

Li Mi murmured to himself, and finally turned around, and his figure dragged his elders under the afterglow of the setting sun. He had never had such a clear premonition that Chang'an City, or the Tang Dynasty, was about to change the world.
