Chapter 129: Anti-Temptation Stabilized the Li Thief
After Jin Zixuan hurriedly hid in the closet, he continued to observe General Li with his thoughts.
He is confident that he will capture the thief and capture the king, but if Dong Zhu's tens of thousands of core troops have no leader, it is very likely that other accidents will happen!
After all, these soldiers and horses are all from Liangzhou, they have been following Dong Zhuru Mao to drink blood, they have a ferocious personality, and if they are not restrained, they will definitely become a disaster in Xianjing.
Therefore, it is better to control it from the top down, and then punish all those who have done evil step by step.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open! General Li's face was full of flesh, and his expression was fierce at the Empress Dowager Qian Ning, who instinctively shuddered, curled up timidly in front of the collapse, and said in a trembling tone:
"Lee... General Lee... How are you...?"
"Dead old woman!
How can I not find him everywhere?
I asked the guards just now, and they all said that after he left here, he went to City Gate 130, but when he got there, why didn't anyone see Taishi Dong again?
What did you say to that new stinky doctor and master? I heard that you summoned Zhao Chi just now?
What the hell are you playing?"
Qian Ning swallowed his saliva, looked at the few people beside General Li bitterly, and then said pitifully:
"This... General Li, can you let the subordinates withdraw, let's talk quietly?"
General Li looked at this obnoxious old woman viciously, there are guards here to monitor all day long, that Divine Doctor Jin should have left with Zhao Chi, and now there should only be this old woman in this palace, so there is nothing to worry about.
Let the subordinates all retreat and close the door, and the Queen Mother Qian Ning pretended to be relieved.
She whispered to General Li and said:
"General Li, you... You come closer, Master Dong has ordered, don't let others hear!"
As soon as he heard Dong Zhu's order, General Li frowned, approached the old woman who was an eyesore, and listened patiently. Empress Dowager Qian Ning pretended to look out to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then continued to whisper:
"Dong Taishi said that he hid in the train pulling coal at City Gate 130 and secretly went out of the city! He was going out to secretly mobilize people and horses, and then lurked at City Gate 130. Then, he asked me to take General Guo to the 1st Ring City Wall to inspect three days later, and the Taishi would take the opportunity to kill General Guo in one go!"
When General Li heard this, the ferocity on his face disappeared and became a little inexplicable, and he asked:
"You old woman is talking nonsense, there are 100,000 elites in the city, if you want to kill General Guo, just do it, do you need to mobilize people and horses?
"Shhhh I also asked Master Dong, and he said that General Guo was afraid of being killed by him, and every day he let hundreds of thousands of city guards in the city keep an eye on your people. If manpower is mobilized, General Guo will definitely react quickly, and tens of thousands of brothers will inevitably die at that time. ”
Seeing the old lady's timid look, and she seemed to be really afraid that outsiders would hear it.
It was expected that she would not dare to deceive herself, but General Li believed a little.
"It's worthy of Master Dong, sure enough, every time he can think of a strange trick! Then why didn't he tell me?"
"Master Dong said that this matter must be kept secret!
After a while, you will take someone to carry the empty sedan chair back to the No. 130 city gate, and then pretend that Mrs. Dong has already returned to the house.
In the next two days, you will hold more banquets in the mansion and the people below, drink more wine and eat meat, and you must make General Guo take it lightly, you know?"
General Li smiled and nodded.
Since this old woman is now her own person, there is no need to pretend to be polite, he praised:
"Okay, good! Hahaha! Big brother really has a clever plan! You old woman is timid, but she is quite sensible. You have to cooperate with the big brother this time, you know?"
As he spoke, he grinned and raised his fist proudly, as if he was scaring the old lady.
The Empress Dowager Qian Ning shrank in fright, and then continued:
"Taishi also said that if you pretend to pick him up on the way back, you must pretend to be in a hurry, and don't cause trouble along the way.
Today, he instructed Doctor Jin to spread rumors that he would pretend to be sick for a few days, so that General Guo would be less vigilant. ”
"Hmm... Got it!
Okay, then you cooperate well, Lao Tzu will take the brothers and pick up the eldest brother back home!
Hahaha!"
......
Seeing General Li get up and prepare to leave, the Empress Dowager Qian Ning patted her chest.
It seems that he has deceived this guy for the time being, but it's not over yet, and Jin Zixuan has other explanations next...
Qian Ning tried hard to recall the words that Jin Zixuan had arranged with her, and it was not until General Li had already walked to the door that she suddenly called out to General Li and said:
"General Lee, slow down!"
General Li paused, walked back triumphantly, and looked at the Empress Dowager Qian Ning strangely.
Qian Ning asked with a pitiful look:
"Dare to ask General Li, what will happen to the general after the Taishi destroys General Guo, has no worries, and abolishes the current emperor and establishes himself as king?"
"You mean, the eldest brother became the emperor... Then I... I'm going to have to be a general!"
"You are a general now, Taishi has become an emperor, how can you still be a general... You and Taishi privately call themselves brothers, and your status is below Taishi alone and above 10,000 people. So when the time comes, you have to be Xiangguo, but you said that Dong Taishi he... I'm going to make you a prime minister..."
General Li thought about it, and was excited when he heard that he was Xiangguo, but the next moment, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
The position of Xiangguo was actually fabricated by Dong Zhu himself, which probably means that the emperor is under one person and above ten thousand people.
He called himself Taishi, and since the appearance of this position, he has always been more powerful than the imperial power, and Dong Zhu is even more unscrupulous in controlling the government.
If he becomes emperor, then he... Surely I can't do this Xiangguo...
General Li wanted to understand this, and said with a displeased expression:
"No, no, no, if he becomes the emperor, the country will not need to be a minister.
Then I will still be my general, leading the troops to fight for my eldest brother..."
Empress Dowager Qian Ning held back her nervousness, thinking about the content of Jin Zixuan's rehearsal with him, and cautiously persuaded with a bitter face:
"At that time, General Guo was dead, and the whole country belonged to Dong Taishi, so how could there be a war to fight?
If you want to say that the only threat to him in the whole country, there is only ..."
General Li frowned, and said fiercely again:
"What do you say, dead old woman?
Tired of old things, don't you? dare to provoke me and my eldest brother?"
The Empress Dowager Qian Ning was so frightened that she cowered a little more, tears came out of her eyes, and she sobbed and whispered:
"General Lee calmed his anger... In fact...
Ah... You have a lot of adults, listen to the mourning family and then draw conclusions, okay?"
General Li laughed, as if suppressing a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and then mocked:
"Okay! You dead old woman can say anything!
I'd like to see how you old thing can separate us brothers!
If it weren't for the fact that Big Brother needs you this time, see if I don't stab you...!"
"Huh... Huh... The mourning family doesn't dare, you listen to the mourning family..."
Wiping away the tears that came out of her frightened eyes, the Empress Dowager Qian Ning sobbed and continued:
"Taishi, he also said today, ask the mourning family to invite you to come with you when the time comes.
He said, when the time comes, not only will General Guo be killed, but even you..."
"Shut up!
My eldest brother and I are like brothers, I have been born and died for him for decades, and it is impossible for him to kill me!
If you talk nonsense, be careful that I'm not polite to you!"
"Don't get excited, think about it!
When General Guo dies, what use do you have for Dong Taishi? Born to die? Back then, Dong Taishi and Zhao Gongming were not brothers who were born and died, and Zhao Gongming was as kind to him as a mountain...
But what happened in the end...?"
"You..."
General Li's back was cold, and he knew best how ruthless Dong Zhu was.
As soon as General Guo dies, it seems that the only one who can threaten him in the whole country is himself!
He used to call himself a brother and a brother, and regarded him as a confidant of life and death, that is because he wanted to sacrifice his life and forget death for him and rush to the front as cannon fodder!
After he becomes famous, he really has no other value but threats!
The more I thought about it, the more chilling I became, and General Li even had a hint of panic.
......
Seeing that General Li was at a loss, and when he sorted out his thoughts, the Empress Dowager Qian Ning struggled to recall Jin Zixuan's rehearsal and continued:
"General Li, now the mourning family, like you, is one of the people who will get rid of after the Taishi is completed.
The mourning family is more than sixty years old this year, the old people are yellow, and they are dead when they die, pity my grandchildren, and after the abdication, they will definitely be cut down by the Taishi and killed...
Whining... Our ancestors and grandchildren are suffering from their lives..."
When General Li heard the Queen Mother crying, his heart became even more irritable, and he felt that the Queen Mother's words came from the bottom of his heart.
With Dong Zhu's temperament, when he becomes the emperor, he will definitely not leave any life in the royal family of the previous dynasty!
Otherwise, if someone who has a heart in the future uses the remnants of the royal family to rebel, won't it be a curse for the country?
Dong Zhu will definitely clean everyone up!
So the old woman's cry should be sincere.
"Don't cry! A woman's house is really useless, what problem can crying solve?
Hmph! I, Li Shuangchong, am dying, and I must die decently!
I have accompanied my eldest brother all the way from a soldier to a general all my life, and even if I die for my eldest brother, I will die without regrets! After I die, my eldest brother will definitely treat my children well..."
"General Li!
Whining... How could he let your child grow up and have the opportunity to avenge his father's murder?
Whining... Both of us will definitely be cut down in the future..."
General Lee was finally speechless.
At this time, the Queen Mother Qian Ning saw that the time was ripe, and suddenly her expression was closed, and her face was resolute and fierce.
Although it looks a little reluctant and the acting is not very good, General Li still feels very real.
"General Li!
The mourning family knows that although you aided and abused in the past, your heart is actually righteous and Ling Ran! We all know that all the evil things were done by him Dong Zhu alone! He is the only one who is ruthless!
This crisis is our last chance to survive!
The mourning family implores General Li, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the dozens of people in your Li family, and for the sake of your children and grandchildren, we must not let Dong Zhu succeed!
The mourning family has seen the head of the Zhao family today, and the hundred officials and the Zhao family have decided together with the mourning family to put all their hopes on General Li!
I implore General Li to be promoted to the rank of prime minister!
General Li was not optimistic about these people, and he did not intend to listen to the Queen Mother's words.
However, as soon as I heard that I was going to be promoted to Xiangguo!
I'm afraid I can't calm down this person.
"What do you say?
How... How to rise? I... I can also be a Sangkook?"
"Of course you can! You are the last hope of the mourning family, the royal family, and the hundred officials!
As long as you agree, the mourning family will immediately let the emperor make an order, and let all the officials respect the general! From now on, the general will be the real pillar of the country!
I just ask the general to defend the common people and save my royal last breath!"
General Li is really a little excited!
Since Dong Zhu is unkind to himself, don't blame himself for being unjust to Dong Zhu!
Besides, even if Dong Zhu succeeds to the throne and becomes the emperor, won't he make himself a Xiangguo at most?
And when the time comes, he and he no longer have a common enemy, and I have to look at his face all day long, and carefully seek skin with the tiger, rather than doing this, it is better to kill him and be the real Xiangguo myself!
When the time comes, he will have the power of the world, and he even hopes to be the emperor himself!
This... What a great opportunity!
Compared with fighting Dong Zhu alone in the future, it is better to join forces with the royal family and hundreds of officials now! Even if you don't become the emperor in the future, you can go down in history and make a name for generations!
Finally, General Li actually believed the words of the Empress Dowager Qian Ning and was ready to join forces with the hundred officials!
