0002 Another talented person
The news spread out at an astonishing speed as the commander of the Jiacheng Guard quickly ordered the blockade of the news, but such strange deeds were still spreading outward through various channels.
Therefore, after the death of the Crown Prince Li Xian in Bazhou, he was re-elected as King Yong in the first year of Chuigong. His wife and children were adopted and were not allowed to live outside. These included the former Crown Princess Fang and his concubines, the eldest son Li Guangshun, the heir Li Shouli, the youngest son Li Shouyi and the youngest daughter Changxin County Lord.
At the end of April, someone from the Tonggu arranged outside the Zetian Gate submitted a letter to report that the Li kings were indiscriminately and secretly formed a ban. Although the empress do not openly complained to the outside court after reviewing, she secretly sent criminals to search the ban. The family of the former crown prince Li Xian who was imprisoned in the palace naturally had great suspicion, because the wives, concubines and children of Fang's family were supervised separately and interrogated day and night.
Prince Yong, Fang, is now detained behind Yaoguang Hall in the west because he cannot confess his grievances. Yaoguang Hall is located on the island in Jiuzhouchi Lake. At this time, it is a beautiful place in the garden with a prosperous flower and beautiful scenery. However, Fang is still detained in the corridor behind the hall. All he sees are full of bamboos and has no contact with the scenic spots of the Imperial Garden.
After all, Fang was the old prince and concubine. Although he was guilty, the palace people in charge of interrogation did not dare to insult him too much. They just restricted Fang's daily life to this small room, and people came to ask some questions every day.
In fact, the people in charge of the custody also understood that the prince Li Xian and his family were closely monitored during the ban and had no chance to contact the outside world. Even if they were interrogated continuously, it was difficult to ask for any valuable situation. But this was the Queen Mother's meaning, and they could only execute it. Even if they had any sympathy, they were pale and powerless, so they could only suppress and hide.
This kind of detention and interrogation period will naturally not be comfortable. Fang is only thirty years old, but his appearance is already haggard and his eyes are dim and unsightly.
Especially yesterday, after learning that her concubine's son Li Shouyi died, she felt even more sad. She spread her hair and covered her face, and knelt deep in the room without drinking or eating. Her posture has not changed from yesterday until now. If she hadn't made a few sobbs occasionally, the palace servants in charge of supervision would have suspected that Concubine Fang was already worried.
In adversity, family affection is particularly valuable. Concubine Fang has nothing to do. Although she adopted the concubine's son Li Shouli Siyong, she also regards the other two sons as her own, and uses deep affection.
Especially this youngest son Li Shouyi, whose biological mother Shen followed the prince in Bazhou. Concubine Fang was not without this intention, but there were still young children in the court that needed education, so she could only bear the pain and was even more attentive to the youngest son Li Shouyi, who was born to be weak.
However, when I was born in such a family, I had many unintentional disasters and could not help myself. I shed tears and said goodbye many days ago. When I heard the news again, I was dead and dead. I could not even go to collect the burial in person. The concubine Fang was in a state of withered and sad and angry, and she was already in pain.
There were many people in the palace, and the incident that happened in Jiacheng was soon spread to the city next to the city. Many people were benevolent, but the size was different. Seeing that Concubine Fang was so sad, it was inevitable that some palace people could not bear it and went inside to comfort her: "Please wait for the tragedy for a while. The day before yesterday, the king should have been living..."
Hearing this, Fang's body trembled suddenly, his red and swollen eyes widened, and he stared at the palace servant in front of him: "You said my son is not dead? Then, that child, he is still alive!"
The palace servant was also shocked by Fang's reaction, but in fact she was just heard of news, especially the rumors of resurrection from the dead. She really didn't dare to speak out. When facing Fang's questioning, she could only hesitate.
Fang's house couldn't sit in the room anymore. Seeing that the palace servant could not speak politely, she waved her hand and said in a stern voice: "Please leave temporarily, don't be tired of me..."
The palace servant didn't know what she was going to do, but after hearing this, he didn't dare to stay for a long time. After leaving the room, he hurriedly left here. When the female official walked away, Fang sat for a while, as if she was accumulating strength. She took a few deep breaths and stood up with her feet. Her legs, which had been sitting for a long time, staggered, but she still gritted her teeth and walked outwards.
Soon a palace maid found Fang walked out of the room and hurriedly came forward to support and report to the female official here. The female official in charge of this matter was in her early forties. She was a female official from the seventh rank. The palace maid called Xu Dian. After receiving the report from the palace maid, she hurriedly led several female historians to come in a hurry.
At this time, Fang had already walked down to the left of the palace with the help of the palace and was about to step out of the custody area. The Xu Dian rushed from behind and shouted fiercely: "The Empress Dowager is grateful to you, and I will tell you about your own deeds here. Will the Empress Dowager disobey your order?"
While shouting, Xu Dian ordered several female historians to pull Fang back to the house. Fang snatched a female historian's hairpin and shook her palms. She bit her teeth wrongly, and her face showed ferociousness. When the female official and the palace people were in a state of shock, Fang slammed her hairpin into her left leg. Blood splashed and quickly slapped her skirt. The palace people screamed in surprise. The female historians who were holding Fang snatched away hurriedly.
Fang fell to the ground, but he just looked at the same panic Xu Dian, who was also frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to see my son Shouyi, go see him immediately!"
"This, this... the Queen Mother asked me, how dare I..."
Xu Dian's face changed. While answering Fang, he hinted that the palace servants came forward to grab the hairpin. However, before those people came forward, Fang pulled out the hairpin and poked it in his throat, and his face became extremely bleak: "I have to hold my bones and blood in my previous king, so I have to bear the pain and live a secret life! Now that the mother and son are not seen, I don't know life or death. If I can't meet someone, it's better to go to the underworld and find the old king together!"
"Don't..."
When Xu Dian saw that Fang was determined to die, he was completely panicked for a moment. You should know that just yesterday, because the King of Yong'an died, the female palm in charge of custody had already been in prison. No matter how the empress dowager was willing to treat the old prince's family, and how sad these noble people were in trouble, it was not that they could be forced to kill them at will.
Seeing Fang's death, Xu Dian had no choice but to order someone to make arrangements. Of course, he did not forget to report to the higher level in order to reduce his responsibilities.
Yaoguang Hall is located on the island of Chizhong. The palace servant rowed the oars and sent Fang and several supervisory women to the shore. After that, Fang still held his hairpin tightly, regardless of the injuries on his leg, and went to the west with blood. Wherever he passed, the blood was dazzling, and all the viewers were crying.
At this time, Li Tong didn't know what the price his nominal mother paid to see him. He subconsciously resisted accepting his new identity, but the Yulin Guards who were constantly gathering around him had surrounded him. Obviously, he had to accept this new identity if he didn't accept it. Moreover, there is probably no next door to the Forbidden Palace that allows him to catch up with his relatives and start a new life.
The palace people who were originally scattered in the yard were also driven to gather together, but no one came to contact him. The soldiers who gathered here just stood against the wall, looking like they were facing a great enemy, which made Li Tong, who was surrounded in the room, have a bit of tragic and evil thoughts.
Obviously, the soul-piercing phenomenon that even he could not accept and explain was also put great pressure on the simple and wise men of the Tang Dynasty Yulin Bens.
Yes, can you use the strange phenomenon of your soul to make a little work to improve your situation?
However, as soon as this thought was opened, before he could continue to think deeply, there was another riot outside the door, interrupting Li Tong's thoughts. He got up and walked around the wall carefully to the side of the door. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw a scene that he would never forget for his life.
Outside the courtyard wall, many Yulin Guards retreated into the courtyard and spread left and right. In the gap where the Guards retreated, a woman with a skirt was staggering inward. The woman was wearing a shirt and under her skirt, and her skirt was dazzlingly red. She raised her arms and fists to press her fists on her neck. She looked in while walking, and her mouth was sad and screamed: "Sanlang, Sanlang... Are you alive or dead?"
Li Tong was stunned. He didn't know this woman, but after seeing the other person, he felt a sense of admiration and joy intimacy arising from his heart. He subconsciously stepped out of the room, and a title rushed to his mouth but couldn't shout it out.
The woman was a few meters away from Li Tong, but after seeing Li Tong, a heartfelt smile appeared on her haggard face, and then it seemed that a force of faith quickly passed away, and then she fell into the courtyard.
"Snatch off the hairpin from the concubine's hand!"
Xu Dian, who followed this all the way, suddenly became happy when he saw this, raised his arms and drove the maids behind him up, surrounding the fallen women.
When Li Tong saw this scene, he was embarrassed and unable to suppress it. He put aside the humble and pitiful defense in his heart, walked up, pushed away the palace maid who was blocking his body, bent down and rushed to the woman. Seeing the other party's joyful and tired eyes, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, he finally shouted "Empress".
"My son, I..."
The woman raised her arm to hug Li Tong into her arms, but her body suddenly retreated. She was already dragged to the rear by the female official Xu Dian instructed the palace people.
Li Tong squatted halfway, looking at the woman through the intertwined figures of everyone, and felt that he had indeed come to such a world. The slightly embarrassed woman opposite was his mother. In such a harsh palace environment, he was threatened with his life and wanted to fight for a chance to meet him!
"Empress, I'm not dead. I'm dead, but I'm alive again..."
Li Tong stood up and looked at Fang in the tone of the young Li Shouyi, trying hard to squeeze out a smile, but his face looked stiff.
At this time, a large number of people gathered around him. Several burly Yulin Bens faintly surrounded him, put aside the panic in his heart, Li Tong looked around and said in a deep voice: "I am the Queen Mother's blood, the saint follows his son, dare you be arrogant?"
Hearing this, not only did the wrong figures around him froze, but even Fang, who was half-hugged by the palace people, looked at Li Tong with a hint of suspicion.
Li Tong ignored the others, walked to Fang's face with his teeth, and quickly organized his words and said, "Does the Empress believe in the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld? The sun and the moon are different from the world. I have already traveled around for four hours..."
"Is what the king said true?"
Before Li Tong finished speaking, a surprised voice sounded behind Fang Shi and others. The sound was crisp and gentle, and then the owner of the voice appeared in Li Tong's vision.
However, before Li Tong could take a closer look, Fang had turned around and rushed to the master of the voice, crying and said, "Please ask Shangguan Cairen to tell the Queen Mother that Kun’s blessing is vast, young son Chengze, the soul of the dead is resurrected, fortunately be blessed!"
