Chapter 613: Slaughter

After Shangguan Chen made an arrangement, he immediately began to write a letter, and someone rushed to Luoyang.

After doing all this, he did not feel relaxed because he knew that the disputes under the table had ended and all the contradictions would be placed on the table.

"Appoint it, I want to go to Luoyang tomorrow. Usually, people on the table in the Zhulou must be removed, and the hidden stakes should be taken more carefully." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Shangguan Chen knew this clearly. If he really reached that point, the Wei family would definitely start to take action. Since it has become clear, Shangguan Chen has reason to believe that the Wei family is definitely not merciful.

Arranged all of this.

Early the next morning, Shangguan Chen had already started to move in the quiet Chang'an City. The group of people stalked their horses and quickly left the city.

For two consecutive days, there was no news about the prince and the fourth prince. It was originally a common thing. Everyone's attention was on the emperor and they were waiting for the news with their breath. However, at this time, an eternal rumor spread, and the prince and the fourth prince were dead.

Dead

The person who heard this news first felt unbelievable.

But many people still kept their minds because they had heard about poisoning His Majesty before, and everyone felt sneering, but the reality happened alive.

The so-called care is chaos. In the eyes of many people, the prince is naturally a crucial person. His life and death are related to the life and death of many people. Therefore, no matter how ridiculous this news is, many people have begun to try their best to confirm it.

Everyone was staring at Longmen Palace. In fact, Longmen Palace had already started to panic. When the Crown Princess heard the news, she was very frightened. It was the fifth time that she ordered people to enter the palace to send some clothes, but without exception, they all blocked them.

Originally, something that everyone didn't care about, but now many doubts suddenly appeared.

Many people began to become uneasy. This uneasy feeling, coupled with the fuel caused by the public, suddenly became boiling.

Almost everyone is using this to make the public opinion a big deal. If the prince and the fourth prince die, who will take action in this palace?

The finger was directed at the Wei family. On the one hand, the only one who could do it was the Wei family. Of course, only the Wei family, the prince and the fourth prince were left, both of which were not from the Wei family. There had been many news before that Wei family intends to make his daughter the crown prince and imitate Wu Zetian. The princess, who was unwilling to be lonely, seemed to rely on the favor of his father and mother, and was also arrogant because of his favor. There has been a lot of controversy in Chang'an. Could the Wei family killing the prince and the fourth prince be paved for this? Or maybe it was the Wei family who replaced it?

As for Wu Zetian, almost everyone did not think of her possibility. On the one hand, she entered the palace and there was no news. There were rumors in the palace that the emperor had been monitored. This is well-known. Since she was monitored, what ability did she have to kill the prince and the fourth prince?

Not to mention, these fourth prince and the crown prince are her legitimate grandsons. The emperor has abdicated the throne to the emperor. His son has become the emperor. Will he still worry about his grandson being the emperor? He is afraid that he will not be able to ask for it.

The most important thing is that not long ago, His Highness the Crown Prince once confirmed that the Emperor was seriously ill, and the news was very true. Otherwise, why would it be heard that he was surrounded by people in Ziwei Palace? Why would the Emperor and Empress Wei hurry to come to Chang'an? An old and sick old man, if you talk about how ambitious she is, I am afraid that it would be a bit far-fetched to say that she killed the prince and the fourth prince.

The only possibility is Webster.

Could it be that the emperor was critically ill, so Wei took this opportunity to eradicate the roots?

Now the public grievances have begun to boil. Not only are the people who are making trouble in the market, but also the slaves of various families and even some of the disciples have begun to work hard behind their backs.

Many people are obviously waiting. They may not believe that the prince encountered an unexpected situation, so they deliberately brewed things and made the news bigger.

Even various insults about Wei Shi began to appear, and some people began to write to write books and mention this matter.

Logically speaking, when things have come to this point, if His Royal Highness is still alive, Empress Wei, who is on the target of public criticism, will definitely let the prince come forward, and no matter what, the prince will come out to calm the storm.

Therefore, many people started to build momentum on the surface, but in fact they were not targeting the Wei family, but were testing them.

However, this temptation was sank to the sea. Seven or eight hours passed, but there was no news at all.

This was all at once enough to make people feel bad.

Of course, it is impossible for the Wei family to be unfamiliar. They will definitely notice the discussions on the streets and alleys at the first time, but now Wei is silent and seems to be indifferent.

Then unless Wei Shi doesn't care about these vicious rumors at all, the most terrible result should be true.

"What the hell is going on?" Empress Wei called Wei Chengqing, and she looked at Wei Chengqing viciously: "Who leaked the news? Who is it? Don't you know the consequences of being inconsistent?"

Although these words were not made clear, Empress Wei had already made it clear.

She suspected that Wei Chengqing had leaked the news.

Wei Chengqing hurriedly said, "I don't know, but the outside world, but suddenly this rumor happened, and then it caused a lot of controversy. The city was full of wind and rain. The Empress also felt that it was very strange. Is it true, let's check it?"

The so-called "sentence" is a last resort.

With Wei Chengqing's intelligence, how could he not know? At this moment, it is meaningless to investigate this. What the Wei family has to do now is to buy time, but Wei Chengqing knew that he had to say that. Although he was a member of the Wei family, Empress Wei still trusted him, but now God knows you and me, what he knows about you and me is spread. Wei Chengqing is not suspicious and will be devilish. So he said that checking is just to prove his innocence.

Queen Wei's face relaxed a little: "Have you not drafted your roster yet?"

"It has been drafted, but the most important thing at the moment is not who we don't trust, but who we should trust, who should be appointed as an official and make a wish, and who should be eradicated. However, to eradicate the roots, we must make false moves on others. These people must trust enough. I have to contact them to negotiate and try their attitude."

What they want to eradicate now is not a cat or a dog. Those people are all people who were regarded as thorns in the eyes of the Wei family but did not dare to do it easily in the past. It is precisely because of this that Wei Chengqing said that it takes time now. If there is not enough time, it is difficult to uproot them.

Empress Wei couldn't help but feel anxious: "It's obviously too late. It's too late. What will happen if you act in a secret way? Now everyone in the world is waiting for the prince to come forward, and now, where will I find a prince? Once they have noticed it, how can they sit and wait for death?"

Wei Chengqing frowned, and he had no choice. Could it be that he could make a prince come out alive? He hesitated for a moment: "I will do it harder."

Empress Wei knew that this was the only way.

But it's still late.

An eunuch hurried in and said, "Empress is not good."

Empress Wei felt that everything was starting to go wrong, so she glared at the eunuch viciously: "What's the matter?"

"E Kingdom Duke Yuchi Xunyu, just one hour ago, took his family and many relatives out of Chang'an."

Out of Chang'an.

Empress Wei couldn't help but say, "Where did you go?"

"I heard that it was going to Luoyang, but not to Hangu Pass, but to walk on a small road."

Luoyang

Wei Chengqing's face turned pale.

Yuchi Xunyu, the Duke of E, was the grandson of Yuchi Jingde, and was the descendant of the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. However, when he talked about this person, Yuchi Xunyu had a dispute with the Yang family, so he had a tense fight with Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou bombarded his ancestral home with cannons.

Who doesn’t know that Yuchi Xunyu and Qin Shaoyou are deadly enemies, and both sides are simply incompatible. In Chang'an City, Yuchi Xunyu will scold Qin Shaoyou’s ancestors for the eighteen generations.

But he actually ran to Luoyang

what does that mean?

This guy is very straightforward. When he hears something is wrong, he is much more refreshing than those who are usually smart. He leaves without any delay.

Moreover, such a person who has an irreconcilable hatred with Qin Shaoyou is now taking his family to Luoyang. What does this mean?

The Yuchi family was a founding hero, and their loyalty to the Li family was almost above others. It is precisely because of this that Yuchi Xunyu was absolutely loyal to the prince Li Chongjun after Empress Wei established the crown prince. Now he heard that Li Chongjun was dead. This Duke of E was obviously completely despaired by the Wei family. He could not stay in Chang'an and completely surrender to the Wei family. Then, without exception, he had only one choice.

This choice is the second prince Li Chongfu. Li Chongfu was the eldest son and his majesty's relative. The prince was dead. In these eyes, Li Chongfu was the most legitimate heir. If he didn't run away at this time, then when would he wait?

But the problem is that even Yuchi Xunyu, the guy who went to the second prince, went to find Qin Shaoyou, which shows how much he hated the death of the prince. The enemy's enemy is a friend. After the death of the prince, in the hearts of people like Yuchi Xunyu, his biggest enemy is no longer Qin Shaoyou. It is obviously Empress Wei. Yuchi's family background is favored by the country, and he is unwilling to be with Empress Wei in any case, so he has only this path to go.

Wei Chengqing's face turned pale.

Yuchi Xunyu is actually a playboy who relies on Zu Yin to wait for death. Wei Chengqing didn't take him seriously at all.

But such a second-generation ancestor cannot underestimate it. The Yuchi family has great influence in the army. At that time, many subordinates of Yuchi Jingde followed him to make great achievements and became nobles. Now the children of these people still enjoy the fruits exchanged for their ancestors with their blood and sweat. Now most of these people are filled in the army and hold positions of all sizes. The Yuchi family is more like a flag in their hearts. Now Yuchi Xunyu has run away from the hearts of the army.

What's more, with the precedent of Yuchi Xunyu, what about the others?

Yuchi Xunyu went to find the second prince and search for Qin Shaoyou. Will the others sit there and wait for death?

Wei and Wei Chengqing looked at each other, and they both saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

The most fear of having one in everything is because there will be one, there will be two, and there will be ten thousand and thousands. The power of role models is infinite. At least for those who are now in a desperate situation, only Luoyang can give them a little dawn.

Wei almost made a quick decision: "Go to close the city gate immediately, no one is allowed to enter or exit, just say that the prince was assassinated, and this palace wants to capture the murderer who assassinated the prince."

"Empress" Wei Chengqing seemed a little desperate. Of course he knew that the current situation was the most advantageous.

Most of them are from high sects or nobles, and none of them are easy to be frugal. Whether it is wealth or connections, they are not comparable to ordinary people. Once they flock to Luoyang and want to join Qin Shaoyou, the entire power comparison may be reversed. Qin Shaoyou is already very scary now. If even the Guanzhong family has many of them colluded with Qin Shaoyou, what will the Wei family use to defend Guanzhong?

But the problem is that once the city gate is closed, it means a complete confrontation. The entire Chang'an City will cause bloody storms, countless butchers' knives will be raised, and everyone will kill each other.

Those who can't leave and hate the Wei family to the core must have to take out all their capital and have a complete showdown with the Wei family. This killing may affect everyone. The entire Chang'an will be bleeding in the early morning tomorrow.

But what else can I do?

But Wei Chengqing still shook his head: "Empress, no."
