Chapter 1145: Taibai reappears

  Chapter 1145 Taibai Reappearance

  The luggage has been packed and ready to go south at any time.

  Early in the morning, the leopard head knocked on the door again, and the iron palm knocked on the door. Changle's temples are half-turned, his sleepy eyes are hazy, and his eyebrows are slightly arched.

   "It's so annoying, it disturbs people's dreams."

   Without opening his eyes, he turned around and hugged Qin Lang tightly, rubbing his head in his arms.

  Qin Lang looked down at her rosy lips like a begonia, and her eyelashes like a butterfly resting, and lovingly lowered his head to kiss her forehead, "You sleep a little longer, I'll teach it a lesson."

   "No, hold me tight."

  Qin Lang hugged the princess tightly, and as a result, the leopard knocked its head louder outside, venting its dissatisfaction dang dang.

   "Is there no one who can take care of it?" the princess said angrily.

No one in the mansion can control the leopard head. Everyone knows that the leopard head is Alang's precious pet. It is usually arrogant and domineering. Even the big housekeepers in the mansion usually have to bow to it when they see it. Be polite, who dares to scold it half a sentence.

   "Forget it, let me go, you can sleep later."

  The princess was helpless.

  Qin Lang turned over and got up, put on his clothes and opened the door, the leopard was staring at him with a pair of huge horse eyes, full of anger.

   "Brother Ma, good morning!"

   Leopard sneezed, as if reminding Qin Lang that the sun was about to dry his ass.

   "Have you eaten yet, Brother Ma?"

  The leopard shook its head, showing Qin Lang the cloth trough hanging around its neck, which contained all kinds of food.

   "Go, take a walk!"

   Leopard head has been following Qin Lang for eighteen years, which is already considered an old age among horses. It is said that compared with humans, a horse is one year old and a human is twelve years old, and two years old is equivalent to eighteen years.

The peak of horses is generally around ten years old, and most horses are in their twenties and thirty years old. It is said that Chitu lived to be thirty-three years old. Cao Cao killed Lu Bu and captured Chitu. He followed Guan Yu until Guan Yu accidentally lost Jingzhou and died in defeat.

The Chitu was acquired by the Eastern Wu general Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong dedicated the horse to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan gave it to Ma Zhong. But Ma Zhong only got the Chitu's body but not the Chitu's heart. He died of a hunger strike and followed Guan Yu.

  Many horses have been with their owners for many years, and they will have a deep relationship. For example, Leopard Head's mother, Hu Lei Bi, has a very deep relationship with Qin Qiong. After Qin Lang died of illness, Hu Lei Bi also died of a hunger strike.

  Leopard head is eighteen years old this year, if converted to adult age, it is actually equivalent to sixty-six years old. This was originally an excellent war horse with pure bloodlines, but it was spoiled by Qin Lang and grew fat. It looked tall, mighty and shiny, but such a horse could hardly adapt to the fierce fighting and long-distance galloping on the battlefield.

  But Qin Lang has a lot of affection for this horse, and also likes leopard heads, so he doesn't care about it at all, and just stays in the mansion to raise it, like a pet and a companion.

  In fact, even normal war horses usually serve until they are about fifteen years old at most, and after that they are no longer at their peak.

  Qin Lang led the leopard head for a walk, but the leopard head lost its temper. It turned out that it wanted Qin Lang to ride it and run.

After riding it as it wished, the leopard put its hoofs on its head and flew around. Although it was not running fast, it insisted on making it run like a dressage, which was very rhythmic, especially coupled with its smug posture, Eyes, more and more so.

   "Taibai!"

  Someone in the mansion looked up at the sky and made a sound of surprise.

  Qin Lang looked up, and saw a Taibaijin star in mid-air unexpectedly in the early morning.

  It was too white, which reminded him of that summer sixteen years ago.

  In the Chinese culture of the Central Plains, astronomical astrology is a very mysterious thing, representing some secrets or emotions revealed by the heavens.

   Too much daylight is definitely not a good sign.

  When Taibai met Qin, the official authority of the Taishi Order of the Taishi Bureau interpreted that the King of Qin should rule the world. After Li Shimin became the emperor, this matter was even publicized by the court as an important basis for the legal rationality of the emperor's succession.

  Qin Lang looked at the sky.

  He doesn't really believe in the Confucian theory of the interaction between heaven and man, but he also knows that this set of things is very important to all dynasties, after all, this set of things has been deeply rooted.

  Such an abnormal celestial phenomenon will inevitably trigger something.

  ······

On the same day, the Taibao Mansion of Cherry Island received two obituaries. One was that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, died of illness at the age of fifty. After riding a horse for a while, shooting an arrow and then went swimming, and then started drinking, listening to music and dancing.

  The king of Hejian has not been involved in political affairs or held a real job in recent years, but is addicted to building gardens, enjoying singing and dancing, and enjoying wine.

  Qin Lang had only seen Li Xiaogong not long ago, and his complexion was very good, and he didn't show the appearance of being hollowed out by wine, who would have thought that he would disappear suddenly.

   It is said that when watching songs and dances, I laughed happily, and the smile disappeared.

   "Wei Zhenggong is gone too."

  Wei Zheng died of illness. He was not in good health at the beginning of the year and often asked for leave. Wei Zheng, who was only in his early sixties, passed away after raising him.

  Qin Lang couldn't help being surprised.

  Originally he didn't believe in astrology, but who would have thought that just after seeing Taibai in the morning, Li Xiaogong, the famous clan king, and Wei Zheng, the famous minister, died on the same day.

   It's amazing more than that.

   In the afternoon, there was another news that Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Yuwen Shi and the prime ministers who had become official had all died of illness.

  When the news spread, the entire city of Luoyang began to stir up commotion. Even Li Shimin had to rush back from the hunting grounds in the suburbs and called an emergency imperial meeting.

In the evening, Yu Shinan, Secretary Supervisor and Duke of Yongxing County, also died of illness. He was already eighty-six years old. He was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace and the real mascot. A few years ago, the eighty-year-old Kan Shi once suffered from a serious illness, and he couldn't explain it, but he survived in the end and lived for another six years. He had always been healthy before, and he was still able to actually manage the affairs of the secretary and supervisor. Who knows, he suddenly disappeared.

   "Ah Lang, the son-in-law of Qiao State is gone."

  Because Qin Lang had already resigned from all his duties, he did not enter the palace to discuss matters. He was sitting in the mansion, but received a report from his servants that Chai Shao was gone.

   Now Qin Lang was speechless. He remembered that people like Chai Shao, Chen Shuda, Yu Shinan, and Yang Gongren in history should not have lived to the sixteenth year of Zhenguan.

   Why are they all suddenly passed away now? What’s scary is the same day.

  He believed that this would definitely be a day that shocked the world, and even at this time, there might be various speculations in Luoyang City at the beginning, and then rumors would spread everywhere.

Wei Zhengna is the current prime minister, Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and Na are all prime ministers who have become official, Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong are also senior veterans of the first rank, not to mention Yu Shinan, the eighty-six-year-old mascot, a famous grand master in the world. Calligrapher University Bachelor.

  One day, seven senior ministers left.

   Li Shimin probably panicked.

   Sure enough, although it was already night, the emperor still sent Xu Luoren to fetch Qin Lang into the palace, saying that the emperor and his important officials were all in the palace.

  Qin Lang didn't refuse, and led the leopard out.

   Luoyang, which has always been a nightless place, is particularly bleak and deserted tonight.

"The Jinwu Guard has already started a curfew, closed the city gates, and blocked the streets!" Xu Luoren told Qin Lang worriedly, the appearance of the Taibai Venus during the day, and its reappearance after sixteen years, was already enough to attract attention, who would have known that he would die the next day? He appointed seven important ministers.

   There are even rumors outside that there has been a palace change in Luoyang.

  Under such circumstances, the emperor had no choice but to order a curfew in Luoyang and complete martial law.

   "Datang has not had a curfew for more than ten years." Qin Lang sighed.

   "Special time, special method." Xu Luoren was helpless.

  Qin Lang came all the way to Shangyang Palace, where the emperor met with his ministers.

   Entering the palace, Qin Lang was about to worship, but Li Shimin waved his hand to stop him. The emperor was serious, even with great anger.

   "Qin Lang just arrived, there is one thing you may not know yet."

  Qin Lang's heart skipped a beat, there must be another minister gone, he looked left and right, Changsun Wuji was sitting there, Fang Xuanling was also sitting there with a worried expression.

   Ma Zhou was there, Xu Jingzong was also there, Chu Suiliang and Cui Dunli were also there.

  Could it be that some old minister who became an official died again, who could it be, Xiao Yu?

  If Xiao Yu also died, then all the prime ministers at the end of Wude and the beginning of Zhenguan would all be dead.

  He was still guessing there, when the emperor's voice came again, "The rebellious son Li You conspired to rebel in Guizhou and raised his troops!"

   Speaking of this, Li Shimin was deeply distressed.

  Qin Lang was shocked too many times today, and now he is a little numb. Qi Wang Li You is the emperor's fifth son, born to Concubine Yin De. Li You's grandfather, Yin Shishi, was the son of Sikong Yinshou, and was a minister of the Sui Dynasty staying in Chang'an. When Li Yuan marched into Guanzhong, Yin Shishi stood firm in Chang'an and refused to surrender. He even sent people to dig up the tombs of the five temples of Li Yuan's family. It's over, and I'm ashamed.

So after Li Yuan invaded Chang'an, he killed Yin Shishi and filled his family members into the palace. Later, the Yin family was assigned to the mansion of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and gave birth to a son for Li Shimin. Shi became one of the four concubines.

Li You, who is twenty years old this year, was first appointed King of Yiyang County during the Wude Dynasty, then King Yan in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and then King Qi, and finally the Governor's Mansion of Qiandong and Ning, a feudal town in the world. Li You has always acted badly in Beijing. , who likes hunting, likes to make friends with rangers, and attracts desperate and treacherous evil spirits. After being granted the title of Dongning Mansion, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, lawless.

   Li You was repeatedly impeached by local officials and censors for his illegal behavior in the fief.

  The emperor specially appointed Wei Wenzhen, the captain of Baiqi School, as Li You's long history to supervise and persuade. However, Li You and his cronies conspired to assassinate Wei Wenzhen. After the incident failed, Wei Wenzhen took the assassin into custody and reported it to the court. Li Shimin immediately sent Liu Dewei, Minister of Criminal Affairs, to investigate and deal with it.

  Li You was terrified, so he conspired with his uncle Yin Hongzhi, and asked Yin Hongzhi's brother-in-law Yan Hongliang to lead the desperadoes to raid Wei Wenzhen's mansion, **** the assassin away, and kill Wei Wenzhen by mistake in the struggle.

   Now that the matter has come to this point, Yin Hongzhi, Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo and other confidants simply persuade him to rebel.

Therefore, at the end of March in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Li You conscripted men over the age of fifteen in the Dongning Dudu Mansion as soldiers, and privately appointed his left and right as Shangzhu Kingdom, Kaifu Yitong Sansi and other officials, opened the treasury to He rewarded him, and appointed Yin Hongzhi as the king of Tuoxi, Yan Hongliang as the king of Tuodong, and Zan Junmo as the general.

  He also sent people to contact the chiefs of the powerful families in various places in central Guizhou, enfeoffed them as dukes, conferred the post of generals, asked them to raise their flags to respond, and promised to share the world with them in the future, and each will be crowned.

In the middle of Guizhou, most of the chieftains used to be independent and self-governing. Over the years, under the strong awe of the Tang Dynasty, they began to reform their lands and return them to the local people, and some of them were granted world titles, but they were all transferred. Many people were also secretly dissatisfied with the court. , It's just that the court is too powerful to resist.

This time Li You rebelled and made officials Xu Jue everywhere, which really attracted many dissatisfied central Guizhou tyrants to raise their rebellious flags, and those tribes in the Wumeng Mountains who had previously followed the Yunnan Cuan family to rebel against the Tang Dynasty , This will be even more resounding.

  In the middle of Guizhou, it was already a prairie fire.

   No wonder the emperor was so angry that his own son turned against him! How can you not be annoyed once the great situation that was so hard to open in central Guizhou is lost?

  The imperial court is now fighting on two fronts. While conquering Liaodong in the east, conquering the Western Regions in the west at the same time, guarding against Xue Yantuo in the north of Mobei, and suppressing the barbarians in the south of the border, how can you not be annoyed that your son has caused such a big mess for him?

  Qin Lang thought that in history, Li You seemed to be sealed in Qizhou, Shandong, and then rebelled, but was soon put down by Li Ji's troops.
