19. Gao Guo was arrested
In the early morning, all the yards in Chang'an City were so scared that they closed the doors. The officials and the people were hiding at home and shivering. They heard that several morning court officials were assassinated, and there were also fires everywhere in the palace. On the street, there were 5,000 children of Zhenhai Army who entered the city. When they heard that Han Huan was assassinated, they all went crazy, one by one, one by one, found the yard and found them to recognize them, searched for suspicious people everywhere, and encountered those who could not tell the origin, they were sent to the Daming Palace.
In the palace, the central officials and the banned soldiers were using water trucks and buckets to put out fires everywhere.
The emperor went to Zichen Hall with a blue face. All the generals, the officials and the ministers who came to the palace to take refuge were all sitting in the hall.
Soon, Guo Zhuan tortured the head general of Shenwei Army, Nan Zhenxia, and Dong Chang was abandoned by the residence of Daningfang. Then the Privy Councilor Yin Zhizhen entered and reported to the emperor:
Generals of the Northern Yaya, official XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Transfer an edict to Wang Xiqian, and let him lead the Shenwei army to arrest people according to the list in the city." The emperor said.
Immediately, the emperor said that all officers and soldiers of the Northern Yamen, including the Shenwei Camp, were not allowed to go out at this point. Yin Zhizhen and Guo Zhuan identified and identified them in the camp. Those who had followed the demon monk Guanghong before were arrested and severely tortured, and were required to provide for their accomplices.
At the same time, the emperor asked Huo Zhongtang and Ju Wenzhen to interrogate Guanghong himself.
In the corridor column, Gao Yue advised the emperor: "Your Majesty, when Guanghong was arrested, he still spoke wildly, saying that there was his foreign aid outside the city. Minister Yue felt that if he kept investigating this matter, Chang'an City was still shrouded in danger."
The emperor nodded and said that what Gao Qing said was very true.
After saying that, Emperor Wei Gao asked Wei Gao to temporarily lead the entire naval camp to protect the imperial city, palace city, Daming Palace, the six armies of the North Ya, Shenwei Army and Weiyuan Camp, ready to go to war at any time. All gates of the Daming Palace were closed and inside and outside were prohibited. Duan Xiushi, Gao Yue, Guo Feng, Guo Gang, Dou Shen and others entered, stayed in the Daming Palace to protect me, and responded to consultations at all times.
After a while, the envoy of the door came to report that when the Marshal of Longyou, Li Sheng, heard that there was a change in the ban, hurriedly returned from Lingao Post and asked for a escort.
"No, no!" The emperor suddenly waved his hand and shouted nervously.
At this time, the ministers discovered that at this critical and important moment, the crown prince was not in the hall, but continued to stay in the Liangyi Hall.
Not long after, Huo Zhongtang and Ju Wenzhen held Guanghong's confession and bowed to His Highness Zichen.
"The demon monk Guanghong called himself a son of the royal family. He had become a monk at the Buddhist temple in Binzhou and then entered the capital to go to the side of the side of the capital to bewitch people's hearts. Guanghong claimed to have obtained the Sanlang of Taishan and Linggu of Huaidu, and could be the true emperor. So he agreed on the date that there would be a military general, and the official official XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After saying that, Huo Zhongtang attached a separate piece of paper and handed it to the emperor, saying that this was found from Guanghong, and that it contained all the "designs" (the positions arranged after the matter was completed).
The emperor unfolded it, and the first person named "the Grand Marshal of the World" that caught his eye.
It was actually Han Qinxu, the son of Han Yougui, the governor of Binning, and Han Qinxu!
At this time, Gao Yue saw that the emperor's face turned pale. He suddenly folded the paper, put it into his sleeve, then stood up, and whispered to several ministers such as Duan Xiushi, Gao Yue, Dou Shen, Wei Gao, etc.: "The foreign aid Guanghong said is the Binning Army..."
Before Duan Xiushi and others could come back to their senses, the emperor pointed at Huo Zhongtang and said, "Don't hide me." The confession you and Ju Wenzhen handed over must be a place to cover up."
Huo Zhongtang and Ju Wenzhen hurriedly kowtowed, saying that they didn't dare.
"Say, who did Guanghong and Zhiyin get close to each other in the capital?" the emperor immediately shouted.
Now Huo Zhongtang and Ju Wenzhen burst into tears like five thunders, and they just kowtowed like garlic, calling for death.
The emperor was so angry that he immediately pulled out his sword. The blade was cold and cold. His voice was hoarse at the two officials, "Speak quickly and tell me!"
Finally, Huo, who was helpless, still said: "According to the words of the Jinwu magistrate Guo Zhuan, this monk and nun have a close relationship with Princess Gaoguo."
Hearing this, the hall suddenly became turbulent, and only Gao Yue murmured quietly.
"Okay, it's great. I, I have never lost my aunt Princess Gao Guo? There were many people in the royal family who had sued her for being lewd and I didn't even ask. I didn't expect that she would actually contact the demon monk Guanghong to kill me..."
"Saint Lord, this matter is ambiguous and the connection is too deep, so it cannot be justified..." Duan Xiushi, Wei Gao and others quickly dissuaded.
But who expected the emperor to roar: "Is he so unwilling to continue to be the crown prince?"
After the roar sounded, a thunder sound suddenly came from outside the hall, mixed with lightning...
As noon approaches, raindrops are shattering in the sky of Chang'an. It is no longer as warm and violent as the summer rain, but is mixed with the smell of cool autumn.
Li Shuwen and Mo Liuhun of the Shenwei Army stood at Guangshun Gate to shelter from the rain. At the same time, Wu Xianfu, the General of the Left Shenwu of the Northern Yamen Army, also happened to come over. At this time, many palaces that were set on fire in the northwest corner of the Daming Palace no longer needed to be watered. The rain extinguished the remaining fireworks, and the jails wearing straw raincoats were cleaning up the bodies. Some of the still alive were sent to the Jinwu Courtyard and handed them over to the Zhongguan and the Jinwu Office for further interrogation.
Some banned soldiers suddenly knelt in the puddle, and cried when they remembered their wives and children who were about to suffer together.
Then these people will be led away by the middle official or Jinwu children who were inspecting each other. While walking, they begged: I did not participate in the rebellion of the demon monks. Last night, I stayed in the camp and didn't walk around, but I just put in the statues of Taishan Sanlang and Huaidu Linggu in the house to worship the gods...
Li Shuwen, Mo Liuhun, and Wu Xianfu all watched all this silently.
In the past, Wu Xianfu was General Jinwu. After making meritorious contributions to the war in Xifan, he became General Shenwu of the Northern Yai.
At this time, the two powerful generals clasped their fists and asked Wu Xianfu, "This, won't this involve too much, right?"
Wu Xianfu replied to them, you are both heroes of the escort, and the Holy Lord will immediately reward you with a bonus.
Only then did Li Shuwen and Mo Liuhun laugh.
But the laughter didn't last long. On the street between the Funny House and the waiting-to-Master Courtyard, a group of Jinwu children held long sticks and long halberds. The one who led the way was Zhongguan Ju Wenzhen. There were a group of men and women walking in the middle, escorting to the inner palace of the Daming Palace, and at this moment they rushed to the front of Guangshun Gate.
"Mr...." Mo Liuhun was stunned and almost shouted.
At the critical moment, Li Shuwen's mind was turning faster and he immediately held Mo Liuhun's wrist tightly, preventing him from shouting out the words behind him.
Among the escorted people, Princess Gao Guo was the one who was headed. Her hairpin, brocade and other precious jewelry were gone. The pink on her face was washed away by the rain. She was wearing only a thin linen dress. Her hands were shackled. An iron cable was directly connected to the shackles of her feet. The tail of the iron cable was dragged on the stone road, making a clanging sound.
