Chapter 650 (1/2)
A detailed map of the Tang Dynasty unfolded on the table top in Zongzheng temple's cell. Li Hong threw Li Xian to the table, took the brush handed over by Xiong Qu, drew a large circle on the map at will, and then said coldly, ”you can choose any state or county outside the circle!”
”What do you want to do
”Demoted to commoners and exiled for three thousand li!” Li Hong looked at the map, then threw the brush on the map and said.
”You Who do you think you are? You are not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you belittle me as a common people? Why do you banish me Li Xian was shocked. Fang MuQing was pregnant. He thought that his father would not exile himself. But now Li Hong suddenly arrived and wanted to exile himself overnight.
”No matter what, you can choose it immediately. If you don't, I'll help you choose.” Li Hong looked at Li Xian coldly and said.
”I want to see my father. Unless my father promised to punish me, I will not choose him.” Li Xian's only arm did not catch the brush.
Li Hong looked at him coldly. After silence for a while, he picked up the brush on his desk and drew a black circle in Bazhou, where Li Xian was exiled. He said coldly, ”listen to the order of Zongzheng temple and escort him to Bazhou in the morning. There must be no mistake!”
”You...” Li Xian's face was startled. His pale face became even more pale and frightened. Although he had committed a heinous crime, he still did not believe that his father and his mother would agree to Li Hong's exile.
”Yes, your highness.” The chief of Zongzheng Temple took over the token in Li Hong's hand. With this token, there would be no obstacle to the exile of Pei king, unless his majesty ordered Zongzheng temple to stop escorting King Pei to Bazhou.
After explaining to Zongzheng temple, Li Hong didn't even look at Li Xian again. He turned his head and took Xiong Qu and others. Li Xian left Zongzheng temple without looking back.
And Li Xian's fate, also in this night, really went to the right track of history.
The senior officials in charge of internal affairs are called ”Jian” and ”Cong San” (three grades) and two persons (two persons). Shao Jian is also two persons, including four internal servants, who are from the four grades.
Under the inner provincial government, there are the so-called six bureaus governing the affairs of the court: yeting Bureau, Gongwei Bureau, Xiguan Bureau, Neipu Bureau, neifu Bureau, and Prince neifang Bureau.
Similarly, the Dianzhong Province, which had some overlapping functions with that of the inner Province, was in charge of the emperor's daily affairs, which was in charge of: Shangshi Bureau, Shangyao Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangshe Bureau, Shangcheng Bureau and shangnian Bureau.
Accompanied by the inner Chamberlain and the order of the yeting Bureau, the only people Li Hong could take at this time were eunuchs and maids.
Xiong Qu and others are not allowed to enter here. Even Li Hong, if not for the empress's will, can not enter here at will.
A house close to the south wall stands quietly in the night. With the eunuch's arrival, the original dim light in the room started to light up the wick, and the whole house was much brighter than before.
After looking at a dozen eunuchs and maids behind him, Li Hong said faintly, ”wait outside.”
”Your Highness is welcome.” Fang MuQing and an old woman went together to salute.
”There's no need to be so polite. Sit down.” Li Hong looked at the rooms which were not much different from the furnishings of other rooms. They were all as simple and clean as before.
”Thank you.” Fang MuQing and his wife have been lowering their heads, looking at their skirts, and then carefully sat down.
After a day's precipitation, all the farce in yesterday has been in everyone's heart. All this happened too fast, even before people could react, all the bad luck came to them one after another.
When they raised their heads, the expressions on their faces were as expected by Li Hong. They were full of numbness and fatigue, and their eyes were full of dullness and bewilderment. They were even too lazy to think about their future life, and even Like two walking corpses, sitting in front of Li Hong, confused and helpless.
After listening to Li Hong's narration, Fang MuQing's tears seem to have broken the dike, and they can't stop overflowing. Her hands trembled violently because she heard that Li Xian was demoted to a common people.
”I would like to accompany my husband to Bazhou. Please give me your grace.” Fang MuQing seems to be unconsciously sliding from the chair to the ground, powerless kneeling there, sobbing.
Li Hong looks at Fang MuQing quietly, with her messy hair on her shoulders. Her clothes are still the bridal clothes of today's wedding. Originally, it should be a woman's happiest day, but here she is, it has become a woman's most miserable day.
