Chapter 239: The Prime Minister Drills a Dog Hole
The spearhead of the text was pointed directly at Li Mi, and he said that he would only investigate the first evil, and threaten never ask, and for a while, the public opinion in the city had undergone earth-shaking changes. Originally, everyone thought that the big event had been decided, and the crown prince's seizure of the throne was a foregone conclusion, but now it seems that it is obscure again.
There is an even more thought-provoking point, which only mentions Li Mi in the text, but does not mention anything about the first evil prince. Maybe there's something else in it that doesn't go to outsiders. Of course, this is just the speculation of people who don't know the truth, and even one of the protagonists involved, the crown prince Li Heng, is puzzled by this letter.
"Your Highness, it was Li Mi's carelessness that affected His Highness!"
Li Heng has never liked to pass the buck to others, and he has no doubts about Li Yu's loyalty and ability. But the development of the whole thing is incredible, it seems that there is a pair of invisible hands pushing all the processes, Li Heng will always have a sense of powerlessness, on the surface he is in control of the overall situation, but there is always an illusion of unreality.
So things have developed to this point, Li Heng does not blame Li Mi, Li Mi has worked hard during this time, and he has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. If you want to blame, you can only blame it, God is not beautiful, and the opponent's ability is different from ordinary people.
Li Heng made a decision first, participated in the military advice, and took risks. Now it's just a time to go. ”
"Your Highness......"
Li Yu's voice was abrupt and choked, he couldn't hear the hesitation in Li Heng's words, but as a subordinate, he couldn't do anything, which made him feel like a knife.
In fact, what is shocking is not a sharp and strange worded letter, but the Son of Heaven standing behind the letter. Although the Son of Heaven is old, after all, he has accumulated more than 40 years of prestige, as long as there is support, he can get countless support by standing up and raising his arms.
On the other hand, Li Heng has nothing, except for more than ten years of experience as a prince with his tail between his legs.
"Things are far from despair, why is this the case, sir? The Shenwu army is only 3,000 people, and the Longwu army is 350,000 people, can't it be a battle?"
Li Heng's voice was deep and resolute, and he seemed to be far less weak than he had shown before. This sentence shocked Li Mi, and in an instant, his eyes became sharp again.
"Your Highness said yes. Li Mi lost his temper, since the Son of Heaven is in Taiji Palace, at best, Xingqing Palace has not yet been breached, and the minister will send troops and horses to besiege Taiji Palace now!"
After setting the established strategy, Li Mi planned to retire. Li Heng suddenly remembered something.
"Yang Guozhong and his henchmen should not be killed at this time, Mr. can concentrate on planning the war!"
"Minister, minister knows!"
After hearing this, a layer of fine sweat oozed from Li Yu's forehead, and Li Heng seemed to have insight into his true thoughts, knowing that his idea of killing Yang Guozhong had never been dispelled. However, since the crown prince had orders, he could not fail to obey them, although he still thought that there was no need for any canonical punishment to deal with such traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people, and it was necessary to completely destroy them from the spirit to the body, which was the most fundamental solution.
There are too many rules and regulations in the prince's thinking, which may be caused by the prince's repressive experience for many years, but for the prince himself, it is difficult to say whether this acquired trait is good or bad.
Although he promised that the prince would not continue to kill Yang Guozhong, Li Mi did not want to let Yang Guozhong go easily.
"Let's go, go to Ankokuji Temple!"
After Li Heng prevented Li Mi from killing Yang Guozhong and others for the first time, he imprisoned Yang Guozhong and his henchmen in Anguo Temple. And Anguo Temple is in Changle Fang, which is close to Yanzheng Gate. After leaving the Longwu Army garrison in Yanzheng Gate, it was only a cup of tea to walk away.
Outside the barracks, the night was as dark as ink, and the sound of dogs barking faintly could be heard in the distance.
……
"You bastard, isn't it enough to hurt me? Listen to you again this time, I'm a ghost!"
"Xiang Gong asked himself, whether Fan's plan was wrong, if it wasn't for the execution of the pool, the current prisoner of the stairs would not be Xiang Gong and Fan!"
"Fan Changming, you!"
"Yes, but now, Fan might as well say it directly, once the prince ascends the throne, with the past actions of the prince, there is no reason to survive, if you don't take advantage of today's opportunity to escape, you can enjoy the little rest of your life!"
One sentence completely stripped off all of Yang Guozhong's disguises, and the prime minister's frame could no longer be maintained, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Yes, he has been holding unrealistic fantasies that if the crown prince really succeeds to the throne, he will definitely have no physiology. How could he not figure out this simple truth? The reason why he still holds unrealistic illusions is not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, which has led to a blind eye.
"Okay, it's up to you. To the north of Anguo Temple is the Longwu military camp, which is heavily guarded, so how can I escape?"
Fan Changming was a little surprised when he saw that Yang Guozhong had agreed to flee with him, and then said with a playful face:
"Xiang Gong has thought about it, if he escapes this time, Xiang Gong will no longer be Xiang Gong, but a fugitive from the end of the world!"
Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Fugitives, as long as you get out of this Chang'an City, you will summon the world's master King Qin......"
Unexpectedly, Fan Changming laughed at him for not being able to do anything.
"King Qin, I don't know where the prince recruits, is King Qin a high minister or a doctor?"
These two people were all targeted by Yang Guozhong with no effort to target, how could they respond to his call.
Yang Guozhong's old face turned red, and the cowhide was punctured, but he didn't know what to say.
"These are all afterwords, you just say, how can we escape?"
Fan Changming smiled contemptuously at Yang Guozhong's question.
When he fled to Chang'an, Fan had been a beggar, and he happened to know that there was a secret passage in this Anguo Temple, which led directly to the outside of Changle Fang! At that time, Fan often entered the temple with beggars to steal food from the secret passage. ”
Yang Guozhong was greatly surprised, one was the secret passage in Anguo Temple, and the other was that Chang'an City could accommodate beggars for the night.
Chang'an City as the foot of the Son of Heaven of the capital, strict implementation of curfew, although there are many people who violate the ban but are the city's relatives and magnates, if the patrol of the city of the forbidden army found no production, and no permanent industry of the homeless, will be ruthlessly driven away. How could it be possible for so many beggars to live calmly in the city, and tolerate them sneaking into the powerful Changle Fang to steal food?
"Didn't you trick someone for fun again?"
Hearing this, Fan Changming seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, and replied coldly: "If the minister doesn't believe it, he will wait here to die!"
Yang Guozhong saw that Fan Changming swore and swore well, and it didn't seem like a fraud, so he had to honestly close his mouth and say no more.
"This matter is still a bit difficult, the entrance to the secret passage is not in this courtyard, but in the ......"
As Fan Changming spoke, he pointed to another Zen courtyard outside the West Chamber.
Yang Guozhong was disappointed when he heard this, Anguo Temple was heavily guarded, how could they sneak into another Zen monastery unknowingly?
"Don't be disappointed, this Anguo Temple is just tight on the outside and loose on the inside, just wait for the night to be late, we can climb the wall unknowingly, once out of this Changle Fang......"
Fan Changming was right, before he arrived, there were only two people left in charge of guarding the East Palace Liurate, who were outside the courtyard gate. Yang Guozhong was secretly glad at this time that there were only three people locked up in this courtyard, in addition to him and Fan Changming, there was also Cheng Yuanzhen, who had his right arm broken.
It's just that Cheng Yuanzhen was seriously injured, sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, Yang Guozhong would not leave with this person, and Fan Changming couldn't wait for this person to be tortured to death.
Yang Guozhong took a lot of effort to climb the courtyard wall of the Zen Temple, fortunately the courtyard wall is not high, otherwise this four-body industrious minister can only look at the wall and sigh.
"Yang Xianggong, let's take it lightly, are you afraid that you won't be able to alarm those gatekeepers?"
Yang Guozhong's body was unstable, he slipped off the wall, and held back his head, and got up in embarrassment, if it weren't for the cover of the night, he would really be a little embarrassed. How could he have thought that his dignity as a prime minister would be such a ridiculous act as climbing the wall to escape for his life.
However, when Yang Guozhong saw the entrance to the secret passage that Cheng Yuanzhen said, he couldn't help but be angry. Where is this secret passage, it is clearly a dog cave prepared for dogs to enter and exit!
If he escapes from the secret passage, he can still accept it and crawl out of the dog hole, what kind of face will he see in the future?
"Still hesitating, as long as you climb through the two dog holes and get out of Changle Fang, you can escape, otherwise you can only wait for death!"
It was precisely this word "death" that stimulated Yang Guozhong, he secretly made up his mind, gritted his teeth and silently recited: "Dog hole, dog hole!"
……
Taiji Palace Yongxiang Emperor sleeps, and at the right time, Li Longji still can't sleep peacefully. The news of the fall of Xingqing Palace and Daytime still made him feel palpitations. If it weren't for Qin Jin's inexplicable transformation, tonight might be a dark night that would be difficult for him to survive.
This Son of Heaven's dormitory has a history of more than 100 years, Li Longji always feels that the cool air is pressing, he doesn't like it here, but the situation is forced, so he has to pinch his nose and live in. He came to the imperial case, picked up the inscription that he had written by himself during the day, and read it carefully.
"Sage, General Qin asks to see!"
The smile on Li Longji's face bloomed, and then he said loudly: "Quick, please General Qin inside!"
Qin Jin came to see him overnight, there must be urgent military affairs, Li Longji's smile was faintly worried, after all, the Shenwu Army only had three thousand people, and the Taiji Palace was so big, whether it could withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of people was still between the two. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly think, if the Shenwu Army had been allowed to expand in size, wouldn't it be overstretched in terms of strength today?
"Minister, Qin Jin is safe to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
Li Longji bypassed the imperial case and stepped forward quickly, and personally helped up Qin Jin, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Qin Qing hurry up, but there is military affairs?"
