Seeing Yang Fan coming out, His Majesty Li Er asked anxiously: "How is Li Zhi's injury?"
"We are not out of danger yet. As long as we survive tonight and wake up tomorrow, there will be no big problem." Yang Fan said softly, looking a little worried.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened, he raised his foot and kicked Yang Fan staggering, and cursed: "In order to prevent you from being in danger, beauty, you actually risked your life, how can you be so virtuous and capable?"
"If beauty has two shortcomings, even if you are crushed to pieces, it will not be worth a hair of beauty. If you dare to betray beauty in the future, I will chop off your head."
After being kicked by Li Er, Yang Fan remained silent. He could completely understand Li Er's feelings as a father.
When his children are hurt, as a father, his worry, resentment, self-blame and helplessness are simply beyond words. Li Er wants to find someone to vent to.
It is undeniable that all this is caused by His Majesty Li Er's pride.
But as an emperor, Li Er was indeed too kind to his daughter.
Cheng Yaojin endured the pain and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, don't blame Wannian County Duke, everything is caused by those rebellious ministers and traitors."
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's body covered with wounds, His Majesty Li Er's anger in his heart eased slightly, and he even felt a little lucky.
He really didn't expect that people like Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji could gather so many people, and he didn't expect that Hou Junji was so cunning that he actually committed a murder with a borrowed knife.
Fortunately, Yang Fan saw through the conspiracy of Hou Junji and Helan Chushi, and if he followed them back to the palace, he would be surprised.
The emperor must have fallen into the hands of these people through mental calculations and unintentional calculations, and the consequences are definitely something that Li Er can bear!
Thinking of Yang Fan reminding him several times to strike first, leading his guards to withstand the fierce attacks of Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji, and even seeing through Hou Junji's plan at the most critical moment.
No matter from which point of view, Yang Fan has made great achievements.
The reason why Li Er was angry was because his daughter had a life-threatening incident in order to protect Yang Fan, and he felt a little jealous.
But let it be said, as long as Yang Fan is here, everything can be done with ease and danger can be turned into safety. It is really a great blessing.
Today, Yang Fan risked his life several times to save himself from danger. In fact, Li Er was very grateful in his heart.
But how did Li Er know that if Li Er wasn't about to go to Jiangnan and Li Er was seeking death, Yang Fan wouldn't want to care about his life or death.
From the bottom of his heart, what Yang Fan cared about was that he was afraid that Chang Le and Gao Yang would be sad.
Seeing that Yang Fan was being scolded honestly, His Majesty Li Er asked again: "How is Changle doing now? Can you go in and visit?"
Yang Fan nodded lightly and said sadly: "Lizi is bleeding too much and is in a coma. Of course, as long as it's not too noisy, you can still go in and have a look..."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er walked in impatiently.
I saw a brocade quilt covering the soft bed, and on it lay Princess Changle, whose face was bloodless and had passed out.
His Majesty Li Er felt as if his heart was being pinched severely, and he almost staggered. The old eunuch Wang Huangui on the side quickly held him up.
Looking at the extremely ugly bandages wrapped around the wound, His Majesty Li Er said displeasedly: "Did you handle this bandage?"
"It's Wei Chen." Yang Fan stepped forward and said loudly.
His Majesty Li Er became angry again and shouted loudly: "That's nonsense. You don't know how to bandage, why didn't you call the imperial doctor? Besides, beauty is a precious thing, but you bastard is so perfunctory and careless. If an accident happens,
Even ten of your heads are not enough!"
Yang Fan twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
He felt that His Majesty Li Er was obviously concerned but confused. He was a completely irrational father and there was no reason to explain at all.
I don't know what Princess Changle actually heard, or whether it was a subconscious reaction, her pale lips squirmed slightly.
"Father, it's not Lang Jun's fault for this. If Li Zhi had not made a decisive decision at that time and escaped from Helan Chushi's control, both my father and Lang Jun would have been helpless, and the consequences would be really unimaginable."
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed. He leaned down and called softly: "Li Zhi, are you awake? Don't worry, my father is by your side, don't be afraid!"
Unfortunately, Li Er did not get a response from his daughter, and it was obviously because he was subconsciously talking in his sleep.
However, Li Er did not get angry at Yang Fan again.
From the bottom of his heart, he actually did not resent Yang Fan, but rather blamed himself for his willful behavior.
Of course, it was more because my daughter was willing to stop Yang Fan from committing a dangerous crime and almost lost his life, which made her feel a little depressed and jealous!
My own daughter has a noble status, so why is she so devoted to Yang Fan just after she got married?
Seeing that his daughter did not respond, Li Er took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, turned to Cheng Yaojin who was standing by and said: "You immediately send someone to inform Yuchi Gong, once Taoist priest Sun Simiao comes to treat Changle
Bring them in directly to the injured area. Now the Lishan Palace is surrounded by Nanya imperial guards. Without the imperial order, we can neither go up the mountain nor get out."
"No!" Cheng Yaojin immediately accepted the order and left quickly.
Yang Fan suddenly realized that with such a huge change, Li Er would not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Naturally, the Lishan Palace will be under martial law and a blanket search will be conducted for the rebels.
Even if Xi Junmai could bring Sun Simiao to Lishan Mountain, he would not be able to fly to the Lishan Palace even if he had wings.
In his opinion, the reason why Yang Fan would not bandage or let the imperial doctor do it was because he was obviously waiting for Sun Simiao.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin leaving, His Majesty Li Er paused and then told Wang Huangui: "Pass on my order and order people to go to Chang'an City and ask the chief officials of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai to come to see me.
.”
"I want to immediately try the relevant personnel of this rebellion. As long as they are directly involved, no matter who is involved, whether it is the founding meritorious service or the royal family members, once they participate, they must be severely punished!"
In ancient times, many things could not be decided by the emperor with just one word.
Especially for some extremely involved cases, if you want to be convincing, you must have a public trial.
In the Tang Dynasty, Dali Temple served as the highest judicial organ, equivalent to the Supreme People's Court in later generations.
Regardless of whether they are relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials, they are all qualified to hear the case.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice is a judicial investigation agency that is responsible for interrogating low-level officials and verifying evidence from all parties. It is actually equivalent to the public security agency in later generations.
The Yushitai is a supervisory organ responsible for supervising the judicial activities of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and preventing unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
Of course, sometimes I also participate in the trial of certain cases.
Therefore, in fact, the division of labor among the three divisions in ancient times was not as clear as that in later generations of public prosecutors and prosecutors.
Therefore, in ancient times, whenever a major case was encountered, the minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of Punishment, and the Censor Zhongcheng would jointly try it, which was often called the "Trial of the Three Divisions"!
Due to the sudden incident, none of the chief officials of the Third Division Yamen were in Lishan, and the situation in Chang'an City was now unclear. His Majesty Li Er certainly did not want to take risks easily, so it was the safest way to ask the chief officials of the Third Division to come to Lishan for an audience.
Wang Huangui took the order and left: "I obey the order. I will go and make arrangements now."
As soon as the old eunuch left, there was a burst of noise outside the palace, and His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly darkened.
Soon Li Junxian went inside and reported: "Your Majesty, some of the officials who went up to the mountain to cause trouble have already confessed. Many of them claimed that they were instigated by others. This is a confession..."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was uncertain, his face turned red and white.
He hesitated in his heart. If all these people were investigated, tens of thousands of people might be involved.
She looked at Princess Jinyang who was lying unconscious next to her, then raised her eyes to look at Yang Fan and said softly:
"I will go meet these people first. When Taoist Master Sun Simiao arrives, you can come over quickly."
With that said, Li Er glanced at his daughter and walked towards the temporary office next to him.
For a moment, the whole thing became normal and quiet.
And Yang Fan looked at the limp Princess Changle who was unconscious. She seemed to be experiencing a nightmare at this time. She frowned slightly, struggled for breath, and murmured in a vague voice: "Husband... don't leave me...
...If Changle does something wrong, I can change it...there are bad people...be careful..."
As she struggled, blood soaked out of the bandaged wound again, dyeing the white bandage blood red.
Yang Fan's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Yang Fan was actually very conflicted about how to treat Princess Changle.
In terms of aesthetics and personality, Princess Changle is the best choice for a wife.
Unfortunately, because of her relationship with her eldest grandson Wugou, Yang Fan kept aloof from her during this period.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan has not consummated his marriage with Princess Changle even though it has been almost a month since they got married.
Because Yang Fan was afraid in his heart, he was afraid that he could not handle the relationship between them well and hurt Princess Changle's heart.
But now Yang Fan is completely relieved.
Since Princess Changle is so devoted to herself, why should I look forward and backward?
What's more, in ancient times, it was not uncommon for mothers and daughters to serve the same husband. What's the big deal?
If you really have no face to face His Majesty Li Er, the most you can do is take your own woman and settle overseas in the future.
After thinking about it, Yang Fan no longer struggled, leaned over and sat next to Princess Changle, and whispered something softly into her ear.
After a long while, Princess Changle gradually calmed down and fell asleep peacefully, with a smile on her lips.
When it got completely dark, Xi Junmai also arrived with Sun Simiao.
After a diagnosis and treatment, Princess Changle's injury was completely stabilized.
****
It was getting late, but the lights inside a palace in Lishan Mountain were brightly lit.
Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others were killed one after another, and the rebels who conspired to rebel were quickly annihilated under the joint attack of Nanya Forbidden Army and Zuowu Wei.
The officials and civilians who served as triggers for the riots were also arrested and interrogated one by one.
Even the dead bodies of Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang and others were carried into the palace.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er saw Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang's heads missing, and his eyes were still round, obviously unwilling to rest in peace.
At this time, the bodies of the two men had been chopped to pieces with bloody flesh, which made His Majesty Li Er feel a little sad.
Although His Majesty Li Er was almost killed by Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang.
I should have hated them to the core, and wished I could crush these two people to ashes in order to get rid of the hatred in my heart.
But no matter what, Li Yuanchang's blood relationship cannot be broken, and Hou Junji was his right-hand man who once conquered the world.
Thinking back to those days, we were all brothers who worked hard together, but I never thought that one day we would see each other with swords, and I really couldn't bear it.
Looking at His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.
It stands to reason that the dead are the most important, and even enemies will generally not insult the corpse.
Now that the bodies of Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang have been brought up, it is really confusing.
If Yang Fan remembers correctly, in the original history, Hou Junji was not executed by his entire family, could it have changed now?
Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Yang Fan could only stand aside quietly. How to deal with it was really beyond Yang Fan's ability to intervene.
Fang Xuanling, Changsheng Wuji, Li Ji, Xiao Yu... all the important officials in the court were summoned by Li Er, who would it be Yang Fan's turn to speak to him!
At this time, Cheng Yaojin had also put on clean armor and stood aside without saying a word. Although he could not guess Li Er's thoughts in his heart, he did not show any of it on his face.
Cheng Yaojin is usually very messy, but he lives very clearly.
No matter how these clowns dance around, no matter what His Majesty Li Er does next, it has nothing to do with Cheng Yaojin.
Anyway, as long as you firmly support the emperor’s decision, you can’t go wrong!
It was this seemingly simple strategy that allowed him to never make the mistake of taking sides, and he became a roly-poly for the four emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
Just when everyone was guessing what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, Yuchi Gong came in wearing a helmet and armor and a military uniform. He came directly to His Majesty Li Er, cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, the rebellious thieves except Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, Jie Du
The leader... and others have been killed, the rest of the rebels have all surrendered, half of the officials and civilians who caused the trouble were killed and injured, and the rest have been imprisoned... The general's rescue was late, and your Majesty was frightened, please punish me!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear. I misjudged the situation and allowed the thieves to take advantage of it. I can't blame you. By the way, what is the situation in Chang'an City now?"
No plan can be absolutely perfect. Although Li Er made arrangements in advance this time, he asked Yu Chigong's Nanya Imperial Army to keep an eye on the situation in Lishan Mountain. If anything went wrong, they would immediately go to the mountain to rescue them.
In his opinion, with Baiqi and Zuowuwei on the mountain, no matter who is plotting rebellion, they can withstand it until reinforcements arrive.
However, he did not expect that Li Yuanchang could find so many dead soldiers, and that Hou Junji and Helan Chushi actually led Zuowei to rebel, which indeed exceeded Li Er's expectations.
Fortunately, Yang Fan led a group of guards to rescue him. Although he could not defeat the rebels of Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji, Yang Fan saved him as the emperor at the most critical moment, which was regarded as making the first contribution.
It's just that His Majesty Li Er is a little confused. Is everything just a plot by Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang, and his son is really not involved?
Yuchi Gong said loudly: "After receiving the signal of rebellion, the general immediately set off to escort the convoy. At the same time, he ordered the right guards in the city to cooperate in guarding the palace gate of the imperial city and strictly guarding the palace ban. I don't think there will be any rebels in the palace to cause rebellion."
Yu Chigong was very excited.
Although Yang Fan and Cheng Yaojin took the lead in pacifying the rebels, he was not too disappointed.
Being able to be arranged by the emperor to come to the rescue at the most important moment and to defend the imperial city at the same time was enough to prove the emperor's trust in him.
Of course, as a direct descendant of His Majesty Li Er, Yuchi Gong never worried about not having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
