On Bingxu in December of the first year of Linde in the Tang Dynasty, which was the third day after the failure of the deposed queen incident, Shangguan Yi was killed in Chang'an for treason with the deposed prince Li Zhong. There should be others who were originally killed along with Shangguan Yi.
His son Shangguan Tingzhi, however, died suddenly and suddenly the night before when the criminal Shangguan Yi reported it. When Empress Wu heard the report, she was afraid that Shangguan Tingzhi would pretend to be dead and take refuge, so she ordered the Xiangxing Temple to send a widower to come and conduct an autopsy.
The cause of Shangguan Tingzhi's death was ascertained. Later, after examination, it was proved that Shangguan Tingzhi had indeed died of a sudden illness. At this point, Emperor Wu felt relieved and ordered the Si Xing Temple to send a special person to take Shangguan Tingzhi's body to an unknown mass burial in the suburbs of Chang'an.
Buried in the post.
In the early morning of the next day after Shangguan Yi was killed, that is, in the early morning of Dinghai day in December of the first year of Linde in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian used his Qinggong skills and quietly came to a secret house he bought in Chang'an.
One of them secretly met a person in the basement. Although this person looked unkempt, he still couldn't hide his handsome face. If the jailer of Si Xing Temple Prison who was responsible for guarding Shangguan Yi and his son saw this person, he would be shocked and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
, because the person Li Xian saw today was none other than Shangguan Tingzhi who suddenly died suddenly before execution!
Naturally, the jailer didn't know that all of this was actually Li Xian's fault. It turned out that before Li Xian rescued Shangguan Tingzhi from prison that day, he had already thrown the body of a newly deceased person he had just stolen into Shangguan Tingzhi.
In the cell where he was, the corpse looked similar to that of Shangguan Tingzhi after some treatment. In fact, even if it was not handled very well, no one would have thought that someone would do this to kill Li Daitao and doubt whether the deceased was Shangguan Tingzhi.
Zhi, and the man who came into contact with the corpse did not know Shangguan Tingzhi at all, so in the series of processes from the autopsy to the burial, no one found any flaws in it.
When Shangguan Tingzhi heard the news of his "death", he couldn't help but be deeply grateful to Li Xian. He vowed that he would never forget Li Xian's great kindness in his life, and asked Li Xian to help take care of his daughter, who had been expelled from Ruye Ting.
The wife and daughter of the palace.
Li Xian's purpose of doing all this was for Shangguan Wan'er, so he naturally agreed to Shangguan Tingzhi's request without thinking, which naturally earned him a lot of words of gratitude.
"I wonder what your plans are in the future, sir?" Seeing that Shangguan Tingzhi became quite depressed after this incident, Li Xian asked sympathetically.
I saw Shangguan Tingzhi with a bitter smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Xiaoguan, no, this villain is a dead person. He doesn't even have a household registration. What else can he do in the future? He's just looking for a barren mountain and forest, and that's all.
, Why bother, Your Majesty?"
Li Xian sighed softly, and then said: "It's all because of Xiao Wang's incompetence and his inability to overturn the case for you and his son, which led to this misfortune for Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang will have a future, and Xiao Wang has an unshirkable responsibility. Xiao Wang has a lifetime.
Road, but I wonder if sir is willing to endure the hardship?"
"Thank you for your hard work, the king. I can't thank you enough. Since I've already died once, why can't I endure the hardship? Where should I go? Please give me your advice. I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation." Shangguan Tingzhi
I have thought about all this. I am extremely lucky to have saved my life. I am even more lucky to have a way to make a living now. How can I still have objections to Li Xian's arrangement?
But I heard Li Xian sigh softly: "It is natural that you don't need your husband to go through fire and water, but you need to do something similar to going to the soup. Of course, this 'soup' is not hot, but cold."
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" Shangguan Tingzhi couldn't help but become confused after hearing this, and quickly asked in confusion.
"Haha, sir, you should know that with your current status, even if you have a household registration, it is difficult for you to go out to meet people. After all, Shangguan Xianggong is famous all over the world, and many people know you. Therefore, if Xiao Wang wants to come, sir, why don't you come?
He traveled far across the ocean to find a living in the Japanese country."
"So that's the case. The king has troubled himself. I just obey the king's orders." When Shangguan Tingzhi heard that he was asked to go to the wild and backward Japanese country, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it.
On his face, because Li Xian was able to save his life, he had taken a huge risk and given himself a huge favor. What reason could he have to demand anything from his benefactor?
Li Xian, who was opposite, could naturally understand Shangguan Tingzhi's thoughts, and slowly explained: "Sir, don't get me wrong, Xiao Wang is doing this as a temporary measure. Xiao Wang has already made preliminary arrangements for Mr. Wang after he arrives in Japan. I will tell you later.
In time, Xiao Wang will obtain a business registration for his husband, and then he will go to Japan to start trade as the second shopkeeper of Xian Tang Company."
"Second shopkeeper? How can this little person do this with no money?" Shangguan Tingzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Xian with a gesture.
Shangguan Tingzhi had no choice but to hear Li Xian continue: "Sir, you only need to make some operational arrangements in the future. The rest of the time is completely up to you. During this period, you can use your knowledge to recruit and teach apprentices. I believe that with Mr.
With his family background, he will definitely be able to stand out in Japan, and it will not be difficult to even be awarded an official position. I hope that your husband will not refuse, guide the Japanese royal family to carry out sinicization reforms, and try his best to expand his influence in Japan, and then instigate some conflicts among the court.
, so that the Japanese have no time to care about him, and weaken his own strength, sir, all he needs to do is to make an unparalleled contribution to the Tang Dynasty. If there is a day in the future, Xiao Wang will take Mr. Ji as the first to ensure his future status.
No less than your father. In this way, it will not be difficult for the Shangguan family to not only recover their family fortune, but also become a noble family like the Guanlong nobles."
"Ah? This, this, I really didn't expect that the king would be so thoughtful for me. Don't worry, the king, even if I give up this life, I should fulfill the king's entrustment." Shangguan Tingzhi naturally knew what he should do if he wanted to complete Li Xian's arrangement.
How difficult it is, but he knows that the harder he does it, the more Li Xian will forget him in the future, and the greater the chance of his family's revival, especially the last sentence that makes his family a Guanlong noble existence.
It made his blood boil even more, and he felt that he could finally fulfill his father's last wish, so he bowed deeply to Li Xian and agreed firmly and resolutely.
"Sir, there is no need to be polite." Li Xian gently helped Shangguan Tingzhi and said solemnly: "In the future, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of China, we must rely more on your master's skill. In the future, Xiao Wang will also arrange more manpower to go to the Japanese country. We must
Guarantee your safety, and fully cooperate with you to complete the plan to conquer Japan. Haha, since you are the second shopkeeper of the Xian Tang Merchant Group, you have full authority to use all the assets of the merchant group in Japan. If there is any shortage of funds, you can still ask for help specifically.
Xiao Wang wrote to request for transfer. From now on, Xiao Wang will entrust the entire affairs of the Japanese country to Mr. Wang, and I hope Mr. Wang will never refuse."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never resign from Your Majesty's orders. After listening to Your Majesty's words today, I feel my blood is boiling. I have a future to pursue in this life. I will definitely try my best to do my best for Your Majesty's great cause." At this time, Shangguan Court.
Zhi naturally also knew that Li Xian had made a lot of secret preparations for the supreme position. Although this seemed no different from treason, but since he had already rebelled once and was now rescued by Li Xian, he naturally
There was no other choice, so with great pride in mind, he decided to do something big, to achieve the feat of serving the dragon, to become a famous official of a generation, and to be admired by future generations.
"Father, have you heard in the spirit of heaven? Although I was unjustly killed, the King of Zhou has promised my son a fortune, and I will do my best to assist the King of Zhou. When I become successful in the future, I will be a high official for me.
When the injustice is revealed."
Even though Shangguan Tingzhi was happy, he still did not forget his newly deceased father. He immediately bowed to the sky and cried softly.
Seeing the image of Shangguan Tingzhi, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little sad. After Shangguan Tingzhi stopped crying for a while, he gently persuaded him: "Xiao Wang also knows that after your father's death, Mr. Tang will leave me now."
It is against human ethics, so I can allow you to observe mourning for three years and then go to Japan."
But seeing Shangguan Tingzhi hesitate for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. It's just your Majesty's wish that I understand. My father is a traitor. Even if he dies, there will be no burial place. Even if there is a burial,
How can I, a dead man, build a family in front of my father's tomb and observe filial piety? I heard that Buddhists like to cremate people after death. If the king is merciful, please secretly collect my father's bones and burn them.
All you need to do is take your father's ashes to the Japanese country and worship them day and night. In this way, I will deeply feel the kindness of the king."
But Li Xian smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, sir. Xiao Wang has a plan to relieve your worries. Do you ever remember how you 'died of a sudden illness'?"
"Your Majesty, are you talking about using another corpse to replace my father? This cannot be done. My father was upright and kind during his lifetime, so how could he be willing to use someone else's corpse to replace himself? As the saying goes, the dead are the most important, and death is like life. Even for the dead,
I'm afraid my father won't want to do it either. Your Majesty is kind to me, and I'm grateful for my father. However, this matter goes against my father's wishes, and I don't want to do it either. Please forgive me."
"Alas, Shangguan Yi is not dead. You and your son are so upright and kind, and they are truly honorable men. It's a pity that the current Holy Master... Ahem, in this case, the little king will not force it. Sir, please wait patiently. Tonight, the little king will do what he said.
He said that he would steal Shangguan Xianggong’s body, incinerate it, collect it, and send it to Mr. Wang. Xiao Wang would also ask eminent monks to recite sutras and mantras to save Shangguan Xianggong and hope that he would be born in the Western Paradise.”
Li Xian was very respectful of what Shangguan Tingzhi said and bowed his hands to him before leaving, arranging to steal and burn Shangguan Yi's body. This chapter has been completed!
