Qin Meng looked at Li Daozong and tried to find a conversation. Li Daozong wanted to chase him away, but not only did he not leave, he even kept talking to Li Daozong,"Grand Emperor, this is such a big prison with tight security. Can Xue Rengui still run? Besides, you're already so old. It's quite torturous sitting here. You might as well go back to the residence.”"Son, this is official business. You can't just do whatever you want. You don't understand as a child.”"Grand Emperor, I think you shouldn't stay here. It'll be dangerous if you stay.”"Where is the danger?" "Think about it. Xue Rengui is a loyal minister of the country, and everyone is on his side. If you guard the door here, others will call you a treacherous minister and a bad guy.”"Haha, what a child says. The person who dares to beat me up probably hasn't even been born yet.”"It's up to you whether you want to listen or not. I'll take my leave.”After Qin Meng's hesitation, Li Daozong completely lost his vigilance and didn't mind at all. Qin Meng took advantage of his surprise and suddenly jumped forward. She reached out and grabbed Li Daozong's beard, then grabbed the sheep with her hand and pulled it into her arms. Li Daozong fell to the ground. Before he could get up, one of her feet had already stepped on Li Daozong's back. Just as the guards were about to charge up, Qin Meng glared at them and shouted,""Whoever dares to come over, I'll stomp this old thing to death first!”"Don't come over, don't come over." Qin Meng, be gentle, you're going to kill me.”Although Qin Meng was young, she had practiced martial arts since she was young and her skills were very deep. When the soldiers saw that he was extraordinary, who dared to go forward? There was no way to be anxious.
Qin Meng stepped on Li Daozong and shouted at the entrance of the alley,"Generals, come over and fight!" Everyone had been waiting anxiously. When they heard the order, they brandished their short sticks and split up the army to rush to the entrance of the imperial prison. With the Marshal's order, they had no scruples and scattered the guards and officials. These guards saw that Qin Meng had a hostage in her hands. These children were all young dukes and were highly skilled in martial arts. They cared about their own lives. No one dared to go forward and watch their prince be beaten up. The 13 young dukes did not chase after the guards, only beating Li Daozong, kicking and punching him, not willing to stop. Cheng Qianzong rode on the old man's back and pulled his beard, causing Li Daozong to howl in pain. After a while, Li Daozong was unconscious. When Qin Meng saw that it was time, she told everyone to stop. She touched Li Daozong's heart that was still beating and shouted,"Generals, retreat." Everyone entered the alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As for Li Daozong, when he got up, his body was in pain. Half of his beard was gone, his yellow hat and python robe were shattered, and his black boots were broken. He hurriedly called for his guards, only to see those guards stretching their necks out like defeated roosters, shouting that they were in pain. Dao Zong said," Dog talent, why did you all dodge? Look at how badly the Gu family has been beaten. I'll go back and execute you."”"Didn't Your Majesty see?" the guard asked. The little ones were beaten badly by them and their lives were not guaranteed. Although this person was young, he had endless strength. The little ones had just succeeded, so how could they bear to be punched and kicked by him?”Daozong said," There's no need to talk about it now. The leader is Qin Huaiyu's son. I'll report to him tomorrow." Now that the umbrella is broken, help me back to the mansion!”The guard quickly helped the prince back to the mansion and discussed with Zhang Ren. He finished this chapter overnight and waited until the fifth watch to report to the emperor.
When Qin Mengxiang went to the back door, she had a plan. She slapped her nose and picked up a triangular stone. She cut her head open. Her face was covered in blood. She cried and entered the room. When she saw the princess, she fell to the ground.
???? When the princess saw this, she quickly asked,"Son, who beat you like this?" I'll tell you." "I was beaten badly by Li Daozong," said Qin Meng.”When the princess heard this, her eyebrows rose. She believed it and ordered the carriage to be set up. The palace maids followed the imperial edict. The princess boarded the three golden chariots and led the palace maids out of the back door and into the rear gate. They came to the throne room and met the emperor of Zhenguan. The worship was over. The emperor gave the order to stand up. The princess thanked him and stood up. Jin Dun sat down.
"Imperial wife, why is my son here?" the emperor asked.”"Father," the princess reported,"my grandson has been wounded and has come to report.”"My son," said Wansui,"who dares to beat my grandson?”The princess said,"I've come to pay my respects to the emperor's grandfather."”Qin Mengnian was clever. When he saw Wansui, he cried and came forward to report,""Grandson went out to play and happened to pass by the prison gate. He heard that Uncle Xue was in the prison and wanted to take a look. He saw Prince Cheng guarding the prison gate and wanted to cut off his food. Forget it, he actually used his grandson to beat him up and wanted to kill him. To think that I could escape and report to Emperor Ming's grandfather.”The Emperor saw that he was indeed injured.
???? The princess then reported,"His grandfather, Qin Shubao, swept the world and made the Tang Dynasty a world. Even the emperor's son-in-law had made some contributions." I hope Imperial Father will make the decision." "Grandson, you always cause trouble, so there's this reason."”The princess then reported," Father, you see that I'm only eight years old. Imperial Uncle is in a high position. Could it be that I've beaten an old man?”
Li Shimin was about to pass a paper to announce Prince Cheng to enter the palace when he heard a yellow official below say,"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng requests an audience.”
"Announce!"
Prince Cheng sobbed all the way to the throne room and said in a sobbing tone,"Your Majesty, I have a report.”"Bring it in," said the Emperor. Prince Cheng knelt down and said," Qin Huaiyu indulged Qin Meng and beat me up. He tore off most of my beard, tore my python robe, and beat me up all over my body. There was also an outsider who committed the crime. I'll have to investigate and punish him."”The Emperor looked and saw that his uncle's beard was thin and his face was covered in wounds. His tattered robe was hanging from the east and west. The imperial court had already reported it to the princess yesterday and knew about it. When they heard this, they shouted,"Uncle, where were you beaten by Qin Meng? Qin Mengnian is only eight years old, yet he dares to hit you.”Li Daozong said,"I was merely passing by the prison and was beaten up by him. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter carefully."”The wounds, the tattered robe, were hanging from the east and west. The imperial court had already reported it to the princess yesterday and knew about it. When they heard this, they shouted,"Uncle, where were you beaten by Qin Meng? Qin Mengnian is only eight years old, yet he dares to hit you.”Li Daozong said,"I was merely passing by the prison and was beaten up by him. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter carefully."”The imperial court said," On account of your Imperial Uncle, I won't punish you. You guard the prison gate and want to cut off Xue Rengui's food. The imperial court has its own laws. Within a hundred days, you will have to pay for your sister's life. There's no need to look at it. Take it."”The Emperor rolled up his dragon sleeves and returned to the palace. The civil and military officials dispersed, and only Li Daozong was ashamed. He had been beaten by Qin Meng, and the Emperor had even reprimanded him. He could only go back sullenly.
As for Huaiyu's class, they saw that the beard on Li Daozong's lips had disappeared, his face was bruised and swollen, and his eyes were closed. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Only after hearing that the Emperor didn't allow it did they relax and come to Qin Manor together. He sent someone to the prison gate to inquire, really not bad, secretly discussed with the forbidden son secretly sent food, think this RenGui will have life. Send someone to reply to the emperor's son-in-law, Liu Huaiyu and others are very happy. Qin Meng walked out and met everyone in the hall. She called them uncle and uncle and said,""Without me, Uncle Xue would have starved to death.”"The bastard almost caused trouble. Can Imperial Uncle beat him up?" Qin Huaiyu said. If I die, I won't be able to live.”"I didn't hit his fatal spot, so what's the difficulty in killing him?" Qin Meng said.”"As expected, your nephew's idea is not bad."”"Uncle Luo is right." Qin Meng said. I'm going." He went inside. Qin Meng's injury was external and her head was cut by herself. She recovered after a day.
???? Then, Yuchi Gong was ordered to go to Yanjing to quell the local rebellion. After reading the letter, he was very angry. He quickly handed over the official business to the supervisor and brought his entourage to Chang 'an at night. The two young masters followed the two madams, Black and White. When Yuchi Gong asked about the reason, Bao Lin and Bao Qing explained the long and short things. When Old Thousand Years heard this, he said angrily,""How can that be! The emperor is fatuous and forgets the meritorious ministers. Forget it! I will enter the court tomorrow. First, I will bring down the traitor king and save Rengui. Otherwise, I'll give you the King Beating Whip." Before three o'clock in the morning, he went to court. The two lords followed him to the court room. Before the officials arrived, the Yellow Gate official heard that the Duke of Guo, Old Yuchi, had come to court and ordered the Meridian Gate to be opened. Senior Qian Sui came to the Imperial Court and sat down. Not long after, many officials arrived and went forward to pay their respects.
The Emperor looked at Jing De and saw that his face was full of dust, his spirit was tired, his cheekbones were prominent, and he had lost a lot of weight. He felt pity in his heart."My dear old minister, how is the matter of Yanyun?”"Thanks to my lord's blessing, the soldiers have used their lives and the situation has been settled.”Jing De told him about the rebellion. "Old beloved minister, your horse is tired. Zhen naturally has a generous reward. Go down to the hall to rest!”"Thank you." Jing De said this, but his body didn't move. He paused and asked,"Long live, there is one thing I do not understand." Just now I passed by the Meridian Gate and saw an execution ground there. It was said that Xue Rengui was going to be killed. I don't know what law he had violated. Why did you kill him?”When the Emperor heard this and asked about this, he felt sad and it was hard to say. He had no choice but to say it. He did not say anything and coughed."My dear old minister, I am sad to hear this. My beloved minister knows my kindness to Xue Li the best. However, the human heart is unpredictable. Xue Li actually did something that was against the heavens and killed my imperial sister, Princess Cui Yun.”The Emperor told him what had happened. "Now that the witness, material evidence, and confession are all here, even though Xue Li has made great contributions, it's hard for the laws of the country to tolerate such an illegal act. Merit is merit, and fault is fault. I can only endure the pain and kill him. I think the old minister will agree! Long live, I don't think Xue Li is a drunkard and would never do such a thing. Is there something else? Please be merciful and try it separately.”"Old beloved minister, zhen knows that you and Xue Li are not bad, and this one also likes him very much, but the law has no kinship! How can we be emotional? My dear minister, you have had a hard journey. There is no need to worry too much. Go down to the hall and rest.”
Yuchi Gong saw the emperor's firm attitude and was speechless. Cheng Yaojin stabbed him in the back. You can't just do this! Yuchi Gong also understood and said,"Long live, no one expected this." I thought that Xue Rengui would never do such a thing. We have been with Xue Rengui for twelve years. You know better than me what kind of person he is. This person was righteous and not greedy for money and women. He had never caused trouble because of alcohol. Besides, this was the first time he met Prince Cheng, so how could he be greedy? You said that he only drank two or three cups of wine. With Xue Rengui's tolerance, how could he be so drunk? He did not know the princess, so how could he be rude to her on their first meeting? These doubts were still unclear. Since Your Majesty is unwilling to disregard human lives, I request that you be especially merciful and pardon Xue Rengui's death sentence before re-investigating. If this matter was really done by Xue Rengui, then we can think of ways to deal with him. If it wasn't him, then why can't we find out the real murderer! Moreover, His Majesty knew that although the horses were at ease now, the weapons were in the warehouse, and the four seas were at peace, could it be that there would be no war in the future? If war broke out again, who would lead the troops to serve the country? Who would share the Lord's worries? You still have to be far-sighted. In addition, this subject will say something that goes too far. Even if Xue Rengui was really drunk and killed the princess, I think he shouldn't be executed. People are not saints, who can be free from mistakes? Considering Xue Rengui's contributions to the Great Tang, and for the sake of this old subject, please forgive him!”
When Yuchi Gong said this, Li Shimin didn't like to hear it. His face sank,"Duke Wei, what you said is wrong. I still have to show mercy when I kill someone. I kept him alive so that he could lead the army. Could it be that my Tang Dynasty only has this one Xue Rengui? Without him, could others not lead the army? Without him, would the Great Tang Dynasty not exist? Isn't this a joke? Behind the hero, there was a hero, and behind the hero, there was a hero. His matter had already been settled. There was no room for him to stay. You only value feelings and not facts. If you really want to force me to do this, I can't do it.”
Li Shiming waved his sleeves and left the palace. He thought about the recent events in the court as he walked back to the harem. He was in a bad mood. He didn't expect Yuchi Gong to chase after him. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Jing De. His beard flew up, and his eyes were wide open."Long live, please wait! Where are you going!" He shouted as he chased after her. The current Yuchi Gong was no longer the Yuchi Gong of the past. His legs were clumsy, so he was a little slow when running. If it was back then, he would have caught Li Shiming. Li Shimin was younger than him, and his legs were nimble. Li Shimin saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away and entered the Forbidden City in a short while. This was the Emperor's living quarters, and foreign officials were not allowed to enter without being summoned. He thought that it would be safe to enter the Forbidden City, so he ordered the door to be closed quickly. The eunuch in the palace closed the city gate with a creak, but before he could tie it up, the old marshal, Yuchi Gong, arrived. Due to the urgency of the matter, Li Shiming ran very quickly. The wind blew his robe behind him, and the door closed, covering the dragon robe. Yuchi Gong reached out and grabbed the dragon robe. Li Shimin couldn't leave. He leaned against the city gate and ordered the eunuch to block the door, saying that he couldn't let him in. Dozens of eunuchs used their shoulders to block the door. Yuchi Gong grabbed the dragon robe and said to the inside,""Your Majesty, you hid well. It seems that I am not worthy of your meeting. However, you have determination and I have determination. If you don't forgive me, I will ask you to forgive me. Long live, you hid in the Eight Treasures Golden Hall, but you can't hide from the Forbidden City. I'd rather kneel in front of the city and die.”When Yuchi Gong said this, he knelt down again. Li Shiming leaned against the city gate and thought to himself,"This mushroom head is going to be tormented by all the civil and military officials. What should I do?" "Minister Yuchi, my decree has already been sent out, and there is no reason to change it. If you grab the dragon robe, I won't let you go.”"I won't let go. If you don't forgive me, I won't let you go.”"If you don't let go, zhen will let you down.”"Long live, I won't let go no matter what you say.”Li Shiming had no other choice. He took the Dragon Spring Sword from the eunuch. With a click, he pulled out his sword and pointed it at the dragon robe behind him. With a click, the robe was torn apart. Yuchi Gong pulled the old man out with too much force, and the old man fell on his back. He then looked at the dragon robe in his hand. In the feudal era, there was a particular emphasis on cutting off ties. If a person was not on good terms with another person, even if it was a monarch or minister, brother, father or son, master or disciple, no matter what, they would pull down a piece of their robe to show that they had made up their minds. You go your way, I go mine, and break off all ties. When Yuchi Gong saw that the Emperor had heartlessly pulled the dragon robe, then needless to say, this was called cutting off the robe and breaking the friendship. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects ended here. Yuchi Gong sat on the ground for a long time. In the end, he made up his mind and stood up. He remembered what Cheng Yaojin had said just now. It seemed that he had to use force. This was a despicable person. The more you begged him, the more arrogant he became. The old marshal stretched out his hand and pulled out the eighteen sections of the purple-gold whip from his back. He raised it into the air."Your Majesty, don't blame me for being rude." "Pa! Pa! Pa!" Sparks flew out of the city gate. The city gate of the Forbidden City was more than a foot thick, and the gate was wrapped in iron sheets. Outside the iron sheets, there were bowl-sized chrysanthemum nails. Yuchi Gong planned to use this purple gold whip to crack the gate, but it was easier said than done! Due to the excessive force, the purple-gold whip broke into three pieces with a crack. "Ah!" Yuchi Gong was shocked. It hurt so much that his heart was beating wildly. He had a few favorite items. One was armor, the second was a warhorse, and the third was a treasured whip. He was also superstitious. When he first whipped it, he swore: The whip is in the person, the whip is not in the person. Looks like it's time for me to die.
Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He covered his face with his black silk robe and shouted,""Your Majesty, since you don't agree, I have no other choice. I will die in the Forbidden City." After saying that, he took a dozen steps back and rushed to the city gate. He used all his strength and hit his head with a thud. His body fell to the ground.
Li Shimin was inside the door. He felt that something was wrong with the voice. After a while, he heard nothing else. Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't dare to open the door, so he went up the city along the horse path. He reached out to look down. He was shocked when he saw Yuchi Gong lying on his back. "Minister Yuchi, what are you doing? I understand. You're just trying to scare me. Forget it. You're already so old. What kind of joke is this?”There was no response after shouting for a long time. Li Shimin was puzzled and quickly came down from the city. He ordered the eunuch to open the door and go out to take a look. The two experienced eunuchs gently opened the door and came in front of the old marshal. They lifted the robe and were scared out of their wits."Long live, this is bad, the old marshal is dead!”
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Li Shimin felt his hands and feet go cold. He quickly walked out of the Forbidden City and rushed in front of the Old Marshal. After taking a closer look, he realized that his head had collapsed and his brain was full of red flowers. Li Shimin was also a sentimental person. He didn't expect Yuchi Gong to make contributions to the country and not die in the hands of the enemy. Today, in order to protect Xue Rengui, he died in the Forbidden City. Li Shimin regret too late, caress the body crying.
Yuchi Gong was one of the founding fathers of the Great Tang, the Grand Marshal of the army, and the Duke of Ao. Now that he was dead, the entire country was shaken. The Emperor decreed that the whole country would hold a mourning ceremony and pass away for forty-nine days. Then, they would be buried in gold and jade.
