In just the second article, Jiang Tian placed a confession with crooked handwriting in front of Prince Li Hong. In fact, using stimulation on specific body parts to wake up the scar-faced leader who was brought back secretly was just a trivial matter for Jiang Tian, who was well versed in human anatomy.
Then, in a state of drowsiness and confusion, it becomes more complicated to use continuous stimulation to get the other party to answer questions. However, as a guard and valet of the East Palace in his daily duties, it is not surprising that he is obviously unprofessional when it comes to torture.
Of course, compared to the physical pain, the other party who wanted to die was obviously more afraid of the theory of ghosts and gods; especially Jiang Tian's understatement of how he extracted his soul after his death and continued the torture. After the situation, the last bit of sanity collapsed.
In his last consciousness, he seemed to regard Jiang Dan as a strange beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In order to enjoy a death peacefully instead of becoming a ghost controlled by others, he almost seemed to be returning to the past, and spent his last efforts. Try your best to answer all questions.
Therefore, all the problems and pressures now came to Prince Li Hong. He just read part of the confession and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "He... actually claimed to be a subordinate of the Hongnong Yang family, and was under the protection of the Helan family. He was ordered to avenge Helan Min not long ago?"
After all, whether it is the Hongnong Yang family, the Helan family, or the Helan Minzhi mentioned in the confession, they are not ordinary people in contemporary times; it also involves the grievances between two or three generations related to the Tian family and Wuhou. Love and hatred. First of all, the Hongnong Yang family among them is not an ordinary family.
Rather, it specifically refers to Empress Wu's biological mother, Mrs. Yang Rongguo; she was also the younger brother of Yang Xiong, King of Guande, a distant branch of the former Sui clan. She was the daughter of Yang Shida, who served as the internal history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was a disciple of the Sui Dynasty. He went to a nunnery to pay homage to Buddha since he was a child. He did not return to secular life until he was forty-four years old and married a merchant warrior named Yi.
Although the warrior Yu made his fortune by selling wood, he was very discerning. In the thirteenth year of Daye (617), he supported the great ancestor Li Yuan to raise an army in Jinyang, granted him the title of General Kai Cao to join the army, and followed Taizong to pacify Chang'an. The founding of the Tang Dynasty was listed as one of the "Heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou". He was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry and granted the title of Duke of the State.
Therefore, after the death of his first wife, Xiang Lishi, he married the Yang family of the previous dynasty and had three daughters: the eldest daughter Wu Shun married Helan Yueshi; the second daughter became Empress Wu; and the third daughter Wu married Guo Xiaoshen. After Empress Wu was granted the title, the warrior Xun was posthumously given the titles of Zhou Guogong, Taiyuan County Prince, etc., and his posthumous title was changed to Zhongxiao.
But before the warrior Xun married his stepmother Yang, he had two sons, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, both of whom were adults by his first wife, Xiang Li. Therefore, after the warrior Yu died in the ninth year of Zhenguan (635) with his great ancestor, his second son took charge of the family business and began to exclude his stepmother and half-sisters.
Therefore, remembering the difficulties faced by his mother and sisters when they were young, the first thing Empress Wu did after she came to power was to exile her two half-brothers to Lingnan until they died. Then he began to gradually reuse the Yang family of his mother's family and the relatives of his sisters, hoping to use support as his wings.
As the nephew of Empress Wu, Helan Minzhi, the son of the eldest sister Wu Shun, was able to succeed his grandfather, the warrior Xun, because of his handsome appearance, talent and dexterity in poetry. He was given the surname Wu and was granted the title of Duke of Zhou. He then started out as a minister of clothing to the emperor and was awarded the title of Prince Zuo. Concubine, moved to the left as a regular servant of Sanqi, a bachelor of Hongwenguan...
But although this Helan Minzhi was famous for his talents, he had many friends with scholars in the court. When he was in Hongwen Hall, he compiled one hundred volumes of "Spring and Autumn of the Thirty Kingdoms". In the history books, he is a typical "young and beautiful" and "love-ridden and arrogant" beast in clothes; that is, he is unruly and arrogant.
According to the crimes listed by the future Empress Wu, they include but are not limited to: secretly having an affair with her maternal grandmother Yang, recruiting prostitutes for pleasure during her grandmother's funeral; even secretly coercing the accompanying maid when the young Princess Taiping came to visit the Wu Mansion; corruption; Allocate money and silk to Mrs. Rongguo for statues and blessings;
But the most deadly crime was the last one. That is, one of Empress Wu's designated natal families, the brother of Madam Rongguo's Yang family, the daughter of Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian; before her wedding day to marry Prince Li Hong, she was actually seduced by He Lan Minzhi. In the end, he stayed in Leizhou.
Traveling to Shaozhou, he hanged himself with a horse rein and died. However, being a family member brought more troubles to Empress Wu. At the same time, as the mother of He Lan Minzhi, Wu Shun, the aunt of the Wu family, the Korean wife Wu Shun, could not help but be favored by Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi because of her long-term ban on entering and leaving the palace.
Later, when her daughter Helan gradually grew up and began to accompany her, she also gained Gaozong's love because of her outstanding appearance. Therefore, when the Korean lady died of a sudden illness at the age of 42, Helan was canonized as the Madame of Wei and continued to enjoy the expediency of being banned from the palace.
In October of the second year of Linde's reign (665), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, after completing the ceremony of enshrining Mount Tai, the wife of Wei State, Helan, was poisoned to death at home. In the end, the murderers who were brought to justice were Empress Wu's clan brothers, Wu Weiliang, the Shaoqing of Siwei who was responsible for giving food to the Central Palace, and Wu Huaiyun, the governor of Zizhou;
But in any case, in the face of the Helan family's theft, Empress Wu had to give up supporting her natal family, and recalled Wu Chengsi, the son of Wu Yuanshuang who had been banished to Lingnan, to the capital to inherit the family; and then started from there Reliance and help, and the Wu clan relatives of other branches provided support.
Therefore, it does not seem unreasonable to say that the remnants of the Helan family who were demoted to death wanted to take revenge on those related to the Wu family from Empress Wu on down. The Twelve Highnesses who accompanied him were just collateral damage that affected Chi Yu. . However, Jiang Tian couldn't help but glance at Li Hong.
He didn't look strange as usual, and he didn't seem to know more about it. Therefore, Jiang Tian suddenly thought of an Internet proverb: "Sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness." Prince Li Hong gently pressed his forehead and said, "Gu's heart seems to be a little confused."
"In this case, let's talk about the most essential root of the matter." Jiang Tian immediately threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and said: "Who will bear the brunt of this incident and who is implicated? And who may benefit from it? , or someone who benefited indirectly?"
"This is the first step; then, His Highness can consider what to do with the help of this incident to reveal the truth itself? This is the second step; then, as the descriptions and tendencies of the surviving parties, the Holy One and the Queen of Heaven, respectively How to react and countermeasures; the third step.”
"Who else in the Xijing Supervisory Office and the Eastern Capital Court can be a help or support to His Highness in this matter; who are potential obstacles; who may be on the sidelines or stay out of the matter, Who will take this opportunity becomes a wild card."
"This is the fourth step, which is used to distinguish the groups that are close to the enemy and ourselves; it can also distinguish those that are intermediate forces that can be fought for, those that are priority threats that need to be attacked and rejected; those that can avoid becoming hindrances; this requires His Highness Let’s discuss it carefully with the advisors.”
"After listening to Li Sheng's teachings, Gu felt a lot more at ease." Prince Li Hong couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity that Li Sheng can't show up in front of others easily; if not, why would Gu have more help?" Where is the place? Can Concubine Pei, who is just a close friend, share some responsibility for me? "
Only in front of this mysterious and unpredictable man can he speak everything he knows without any hesitation, pouring out his confusion and emotions; just like a person who has known him for a long time but has no interest in it and is aloof from everything. A person of great power and fame in the world, a mentor and helpful friend who can answer questions and resolve doubts at any time.
But by the same token, as Li Hong secretly handles things that become more and more complicated, and the more things he wants to do and realize, he inevitably feels more and more inconvenient. At least for the moment, he could use the cover of keeping several raccoon slaves in the palace to meet with him openly during his break.
After all, as the heir apparent of a country who is busy with everything, it is not an eye-catching thing to indulge in some occasional petting on a whim. But as the person next to her, Concubine Pei, he could still sense her potential doubts, worries and other concerns that she had always kept well hidden.
If there is anyone in this world who can make Crown Prince Li Hong want to share his thoughts immediately; it is undoubtedly the Crown Princess Pei who has only been married for a few years but is like an old couple and has been together till now. However, Jiang Tian shook his head slightly: "It remains to be seen."
By the next day, the response from the Eastern Capital had not yet arrived; the first to arrive were Prime Minister Hao Chujun as envoy, and Zhang Wenguan, the minister of Dali Temple and the concubine of the Eastern Palace Zuo, who served as the assistant to the prince to supervise the country. Also arriving in a relatively low-key manner was Di Huaiying, who was newly appointed as Zuocheng, Zhanshi of the East Palace.
This is also the highest level of authority that can be assigned to the sixth-grade Shangguan Shen as the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State; second only to the positions of Zhan Shi and Shao Zhanshi who are directly designated by the Tianjia to manage the daily affairs of the three temples and ten leaders, and are specifically responsible for handling Zhan Shi. There are two permanent officials responsible for the daily official affairs of the government.
All edicts and orders from Shangshu Province and left and right Chunfang talismans were sent to the East Palace Hundreds, as well as the submissions from the East Palace Hundreds. They were forwarded by him; it was considered a very critical position. Compared with Di Huaiying's original Facao of the Bingzhou Governor's Office (lower than the seventh rank), he was an outstanding person with extraordinary power and nobility.
You must know that he is from Taiyuan, Bingzhou (today's Taiyuan, Shanxi), and his ancestors come from the Di family of Tianshui who moved eastward during the Qiang rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty. Throughout the ages, he has been a common common people in the local poor family. His only deed was that he was imprisoned for being falsely accused. Thanks to the deposed eunuch Yan Liben of Henan Province, he was exonerated and praised as a "legend in the ocean."
Therefore, even if he had never met before and was even more confused, he could only accept the envious and jealous eyes of his colleagues around him and the congratulations of his subordinates and superiors, and he came to take up the post without hesitation. However, the first thing he did when he took over as Zhan Shizuo Cheng was to investigate and resolve the case in his old profession.
Moreover, it is not only a case of peeping inside the East Palace, but also assisting in the secret investigation of a robbery and murder case near the Lishan Hot Spring Palace. This also made him feel so stressed that his head was as big as a fight...
When I go out for a trip, all kinds of related and unrelated thoughts come to me like a diabetic incontinence. Even when I watch the acrobatic performance of the Russian girl on the stage or the mermaid performance in the water tank, I will have strange thoughts. …
