Shen Xingwen was absolutely shocked. He thought he had seen it all, but Jing Wanyu's letter almost made him stop breathing.
Grand Master of Glorious Lu Temple, Li Shouli?
Jing Wanyi now understood what was going on with the pass, Li Shouli had his daughter deliver the exit permit to Jing Wanyi. Li Nünu didn't dare show her face from head to toe in the carriage, not to maintain her status as a princess, but because she was worried that any opportunity might stir up Jing Wanyi's memories.
When Li Shouli learned that the daughter of Jing Zhe was now in Dali Temple with Pei Tan, he hastily sent a letter to Pei Tan, including later "personally" visiting him, which was a kind of probe.
Jing Wan'er did not take away the pass document and failed to leave Chang'an as she wished, so she became a hidden danger, a hidden danger that would come out at any time to become an obstacle.
Up to this point, Jing Wan'er had already written everything clearly in the letter, and Shen Xingwen's last bit of doubt in his heart was also gone.
"This time, it was I who implicated the adults and the Dali Temple..."
Shen Xingwen put down Jing Wanyan's letter, not because Jing Wanyan was implicated, but because the former crown prince's affair had touched too many people's nerves.
Since Li Shouli is afraid of being implicated in the Jing family's affairs six years ago, it can be understood that he would deal with Jing Yuanyuan. However, since Li Shouli was the one who sought out Jing Zhe six years ago to clear the crown prince's name, why did he have such an ambiguous attitude today?
Giving up one benefit is premised on gaining a greater benefit.
Shen Xingwen's eyes narrowed again, it was clear that no matter what Li Shouli wanted to do, he was doing it for more.
The current situation in the imperial court and border areas is changing rapidly, it's hard to say what Li Shouli wants to gain from this.
Wait, what border? Shen Xingwen's heart skipped a beat, and in that instant, he suddenly understood everything.
Indeed, members of the imperial family... each and every one is so ruthless... consumed by greed.
Shen Xingwen fully understood that his idea obviously needed some time to be verified. But for him, both Li Shouli and Guanglu Temple were possible.
Putting everything aside, what he needs to do now is to guard Daluo Temple well and protect Pei Tan and Jing Yu'er.
——
The attendants hastily came to the secret room to see Zong Chuke: "Sir, the people have all been found, they are all some vagrants with no relatives or friends, and will never leak secrets."
It's people like this who are sent to their deaths, and even if they die, the root cause can't be found.
Zong Chuke said lightly: "Good."
The staff is still a bit nervous, "What if it's Pei Tan, what if he doesn't come out that day..."
Zong Chuke's gaze made the attendants dare not ask further. But he also suddenly thought that in the palace, the empress would definitely leave behind trusted personal guards to guard the palace, and at that time, wanting to take action inside the already empty palace would be easier than outside?
The staff suddenly became clear and transparent.
So, Pei Tan's death date was destined to be on that day. Whether he left the palace or not would not change the outcome.
"Against the Dalai Lama's... General Yang said that on the day of the Heaven Worship ceremony, he will be in charge"
"Helping others is a great virtue."
General Yang Guang, the Great General of Zuo Xiuwei, is truly prepared for everything, even the east wind has been prepared.
When the time comes, kill Pei Tan, severely damage the Temple of Great Rites, capture Hu Chao and silence him directly. The Lord of the Imperial Secretariat has been at odds with the Temple of Great Rites for so long, finally waiting for an opportunity to destroy them all at once.
"Being able to command General Yang is no surprise, as he is indeed the son of the Crown Prince, with the cold blood of the Li Tang royal family flowing through his veins..."
Something sneaked into the Dalit Temple to investigate, which was not enough. If caught, it would be a loss of reason. Directly rob the Dalit Temple's prison, find Hu Chao, and accuse the Dalit Temple of harboring a fugitive.
Everything is under control: "Now, even if Dalisi has Hu Chao in his hands, no matter how strong the evidence is, he must have the opportunity to bring it out. Now Pei Tan is imprisoned in the palace, and Shen of Dalisi wants to turn over, he must have the opportunity to see His Majesty, now hiding in Dalisi Temple, just afraid that adults will take action against him. He must also want to take advantage of the opportunity to offer sacrifices to heaven..."
Darkness moves in all directions, turbulent waters surge forward.
For so long, Hu Chao must have confessed everything, and now Dalisi is also waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
This time the ceremony is bound to take place. I heard that for the sake of Tang Fan's border affairs, Tubo also sent an envoy to enter Tang and is already on the way.
"There have been ministers, when attending court, who suggested to Your Majesty that we emulate the example of Taizong's time, when Princess Wencheng was married off to Songtsen Gampo of Tibet, and as a result, our borders were peaceful for nearly a hundred years... I hope that Your Majesty will also dispatch a princess to rebuild a hundred years of good relations with Tibet."
However, under the rule of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, including the entire imperial family of Li, the population is not prosperous, especially the princesses. The two daughters of Emperor Zhongzong and Empress Wei, Princess Anle and Princess Changning, have long been married off. The only two remaining princesses are not suitable for marriage.
Some also suggested that Princess Wencheng was not the biological daughter of Emperor Taizong either, and it would be entirely possible to select a girl from the imperial clan, appoint her as a princess, and then marry her off to Tibet.
After this proposal was kicked out, Zhong Zong did not immediately refute it, but fell silent.
It is obvious that if... can really eliminate war disasters in a peaceful and friendly manner,
No emperor would refuse.
Among the imperial relatives, selecting a daughter of harmonious kinship, currently in the Li Tang imperial family, Prince of Longle is hiding and avoiding the world, other princes are sinking and passing their days, the only possible one who can make Zhongzong trust and is the most noble bloodline of the imperial family seems to be...
Guanglu Temple Master, and his daughter, Li Nunu, was at the prime of her youth, waiting for marriage in the boudoir, and she was also a orthodox princess of the Great Tang Dynasty.
Two days later, the palace issued another decree. Due to Pei Shi's son Pei Tan's improper behavior and his failure to live up to the expectations of the princess, the original marriage arrangement was cancelled, and a new husband would be chosen for the princess.
Two successive edicts made it clear to everyone in Chang'an that Pei Tan and the Grand Justice Temple had indeed fallen out of favor.
When he heard this imperial edict, Shen Xingwen knew that his idea had come true.
Compared with Princess Wencheng's glorious reputation in history, the marriage between Tibet and Tang Dynasty is a glory to the entire imperial family of Tang.
And if such glory can be recreated, becoming the second princess of the Great Tang to form a marriage alliance, it will be an achievement worthy of being recorded in history books.
The most important thing is that if Zhong Zong really issues an edict to confer the title of Great Tang on Li Nu.
Princess, so Li Shouli will not only be the current Guanglu Temple Master, but also a real promotion to become a close prince.
The Grand Prince of the Tang Dynasty, a first-class prince, was an opportunity for Li Shouli to completely get rid of his past, who had been suffering from the stigma of being the son of Crown Prince Zhanghuai since birth.
From the very beginning, Pei Tan was not in Li Shouli's eyes. How could he marry his daughter to Pei Tan? What would he gain from this marriage? Since the engagement, Li Shouli had been trying every means to obstruct it.
For the sake of leaving a name in history, even if it means sacrificing his daughter's happiness.
Shen Xingwen stood in the dungeon, narrowing his eyes at Hu Chao. After these few days of "rest", the traces of torture had already been covered up. "Are you all ready?"
Whether prepared or not, it's too late now; success or failure will be decided in this one move.
"There's one more thing." Shen Xingwen placed the package in his hand in front of Hu Chao, "Put on the clothes inside, I've prepared them for you."
Hu Chao is now going to see the former queen, but this tattered and coarse cloth of his, how can it make the queen believe that he is the same "refined and elegant" Hu of old?
The way is long.
Hu Chao reached out to take his clothes, but Shen Xingwen held him down.
"What about handwritten manuscripts?"
His turbid yellow eyes stared at him: "Do you really dare to do this?"
"You just need to do your part well, and the rest is not for you to worry about."
Hu Chao stared coldly at Shen Xingwen, and after a moment, he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Shen Xingwen took it from his hand and slowly opened his clothes.
Hu Chao opened it and took a glance, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
Shen Xingwen lowered his head and flipped through the things Hu Chao wrote, his face pale and expressionless.
Everything in it is shocking to the world, but the unjust death of a generation of princes can only be buried.
"How do you plan on getting me out of here?" Hu Chao asked.
This place is surrounded by copper walls and iron walls, and it's probably impossible to step out of the temple gates.
Shen Xingwen put away the handwritten book and gave Hu Chao a faint smile.
Days later, there were several more guards at the gate of the Dalit Temple, and the gate was closed every day. Anyone could see that the yamen were in a state of panic and tension.
All of this was seen by the scouts from the Ministry of Justice. They naturally sneered, as the current Imperial Court was just like a rabbit caught in their hands.
One day a woman who looked like a maid hastily came to the front of Dali Temple Street, staring at the gate of Dali Temple as if she was both afraid and hesitant.
She hesitated for half a day and still walked towards the gate.
The hidden secretary's secret agent immediately locked onto this girl.
Just then, the woman walked up to the gate and looked at the bailiff nervously: "I... I have something... to ask to see the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court..."
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper at the door was even more nervous than this woman, "Now the Temple of Great Wisdom is not visible to anyone, you hurry up and leave!"
The woman's face turned pale, "I really have something urgent. Please...".
The bailiff waved his hand impatiently and stared at the woman with a scowl: "Hurry up"
"Go quickly! Said who didn't see anyone!"
The woman opened her eyes wide and suddenly said: "That, that let me see Miss Jing Yuanyu!"
The yamen runners exchanged a shocked glance, then eyed the woman even more warily: "We've told you that person isn't at the Temple of Great Awakening. This is your last warning - leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Two bailiffs were already gripping the hilts of their waist knives.
The woman seemed a bit afraid, but still gritted her teeth and said: "It was Jing Wanyu who said that if there's anything, she can be found here, how could she not be here?"
The woman took a step forward...
The yamen runners were suddenly like seeing a flood beast, and they all blocked the door, preventing the woman from advancing.
The woman's face turned pale with fright and she cried out: "Wan'er young lady! Wan'er young lady!"
She was shouting and rushing to the door.
Six or seven bailiffs rushed to the door and grabbed the woman's shoulders. "Come on! Take this woman away quickly!"
The woman screamed as she looked around at the commotion, two constables holding knives to her neck. The "woman" seemed to be frightened into silence, not daring to shout again.
Four bailiffs dragged the "woman" and threw her out onto the street outside the gate.
After that, the several yamen runners cautiously looked around again and slowly retreated back to the front gate of the Dalisi Temple, saying: "Young Master ordered that it must be strictly guarded and absolutely no one is allowed to enter!"
Several people looked serious and waited solemnly.
Under the shade of the tree, the secret agent from the Shangshu Mansion also looked at these several bailiffs with disdain. It's really a bird startled by the bow, the Dalisi Temple is gone without Pei Tan, and it's indeed a group of timid and fearful mobs.
At this time, behind the gate of the temple, "a motley crew" showed a smile. Shen Xingwen looked at the successful "Li Dai Tao Jiang" tea and smiled: "Acted very well."
Xi Cha lowered his head: "It's your good strategy, Zi Cui'er sister has already made a response outside the street, and later will send that Taoist out of the city according to plan."
