Chapter 474: Qin Envoy Jun Persuades
"Qin Envoy, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I didn't find the opportunity, now it's time to make it clear!"
Qin Jinlai reported the military situation to Li Hengyu and roughly told him that he planned to use Cui Guangyuan and Yuan Siyi to deceive the city and then give Sun Xiaozhe a hard blow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Heng was very happy, and agreed to it, saying that he would fully cooperate. After saying something important, Li Heng grabbed Li Xin, who was about to leave.
"Your Highness, please!"
It's strange to say, Li Heng has always had an inexplicable good impression of Qin Jin, but now the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
"Worm Niang is by my side, do you want Qin Yuanjun to take a look at her?"
Li Heng didn't know where to start for a while, and it took him half a day to hold back such a sentence, but there was something very inappropriate. Although Princess Shou'an and Qin Jin have a marriage contract, they have not yet married, so it is inappropriate to meet in private like this. What's more, it was he, the elder brother, who took the initiative to speak out and instigate it.
As soon as the words came out, Li Heng also realized that he had lost his words, but he couldn't take it back, and his face suddenly turned red. In fact, he wanted to let Qin Jin and Worm Niang get married as soon as possible, but when he came to his lips, he realized that Qin Jin would definitely not agree in this situation of internal and external difficulties, so he had the gaffe just now.
"Worm Girl?"
Only then did Qin Jin remember, why was he so familiar with this name the day before, wasn't it Princess Shou'an who was given marriage by Li Longji?
Li Heng coughed and said:
"You've already seen her, the fire in the East Palace last night ......"
After Li Heng's reminder, Qin Jin immediately remembered the girl who commanded the palace people to put out the fire, but he had too many things in his heart at that time, and he couldn't remember her appearance at any time.
"Please forgive the minister, at this time, it is a time of internal and external troubles, and the children's personal affairs have to be put aside!"
Qin Jin's answer was already realized by Li Heng at the beginning of his gaffe. His subordinates put public affairs before private affairs, and they should be happy regardless of their personal feelings, but there is a complicated emotion in his heart, out of love for the insect girl, he expects Qin Jin to agree to get married immediately, of course, this is impossible.
"I can't bear to watch the insect girl suffer in the barracks, I heard that everyone who enters the camp has to rub the straw rope, how can she bear this pain?"
Li Heng's words are indeed from the heart, he doesn't care if those princes and grandsons will be offended, but this half-sister is always in his heart.
How could Qin Jin not hear the information contained in the prince's words, he was silent for a moment, and then said categorically:
"Since the princess has a marriage contract with the minister, she can't let her stay out of the matter, which will only make people accuse Her Royal Highness of being unfair and biased with the minister!"
Qin Jin's words are extremely legitimate, Li Heng can't find the slightest reason to refute them, and if Qin Jin really takes the worm girl out, I'm afraid it will make people resentful.
He was already accustomed to being cautious when he was the prince, and now he was just a little impulsive out of love for the insect mother, and after Qin Jin's reminder, he suddenly realized that he had a more important responsibility on his shoulders than the love of brother and sister. So I dismissed this idea.
watched Qin Jin retreat until he disappeared on the other side of the screen. Li Heng's heart is a little mixed, today's conversation with Qin Jin is enough to see this person's heart for the public, but on the other side, it also shows this person's affection, after the insect girl gets married, I am afraid that she will not be happy.
However, since he was born in the royal family, many things have been doomed from the moment he was born, and even the Son of Heaven cannot tolerate willfulness.
After a long time, Li Heng sighed.
"Since the insect girl was born in the emperor's family, she has to sacrifice. ”
At this time, he hoped that the insect girl would marry one day later.
……
As soon as Qin Jin arrived at the military camp in the north of the city, Cui Guangyuan and a eunuch rushed over.
"Envoy, there's news!"
Hearing the news, Qin Jin's spirit was lifted.
"Speak quickly!"
The people sent out brought back the news, and the people who came were really dragged down the river, but Sun Xiaozhe had not yet crossed Weinan, and the first person to arrive was a man named Zhang Tongru. ”
Qin Jin barely had some impressions of Zhang Tongru and his person, he only remembered what he had done in Chang'an, but as for whether he had a prominent record, he really couldn't remember. Since his record is not obvious, he must be a person with little reputation in history, which also confirms from the side that his ability may be mediocre.
But soon, Qin Jin dispelled this kind of fluke idea, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, if Zhang Tongru has no excellence, how could Sun Xiaozhe let him lead the vanguard to Chang'an first?
"It's okay, send someone to tell Zhang Tongru that the matter of sacrificing the city will be talked about when Sun Xiaozhe comes!"
Cui Guangyuan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Envoy, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. ”
"What's wrong?"
"We have always offered the city for fear of offending the other party, and we responded so arrogantly to the past, for fear that it would be revealed immediately. ”
Qin Jin pondered for a while, and felt that it made sense, but he couldn't deal with Zhang Tongru with the prepared plan, right? After all, Sun Xiaozhe's main force was still behind. It's a real headache.
"The subordinate has a suggestion, not to go to the meeting with Yuan Gong to meet that Tongru, but also let the other party realize our sincerity. ”
Qin Jinlian waved his hand and said:
"No! If you go now, if you don't agree to surrender the city immediately, you will definitely be troubled by Zhang Tongru, how is it different from sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
Yuan Siyi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Otherwise, it's risky, but it's worth it!"
This surprised Qin Jin greatly, and he didn't expect that there were many eunuchs in the palace who were brave and knowledgeable. Zhang Fuchen, Li Fuguo, Gao Lishi, including Bian Lingcheng, regardless of their character, are at least people with courage and ability. Compared with the timid ministers of the DPRK and China, it seems that they have a better posture.
However, Qin Jin still didn't plan to let Cui Guangyuan and Yuan Siyi take risks.
"No, the big war is imminent, it's not cost-effective, and this matter will be discussed later. ”
"The king has passed the book!"
This made Qin Jin suddenly nervous, the book is an encrypted letter transmitted within the Shenwu Army, and at this time, there will only be two ways to come from outside the city, one is from Hedong, and the other is from the Son of Heaven. Before that, he had already arranged eyeliner around the Son of Heaven to monitor the Son of Heaven's every move.
Qin Jin had a hunch that most of the biography this time was related to the latter.
Sending Cui Guangyuan and Yuan Siyi away, Qin Jin unscrewed the copper pipe used to pass the book, peeled off the wax seal, poured out a roll of parchment, unfolded it, and immediately bounced off the couch.
"Come on, prepare the horse, go to the Taiji Palace!"
Less than an hour after leaving the Taiji Palace, Qin Jin hurried back on horseback.
Even the general of the guards guarding the palace gate was startled when he saw him go and return. Now that the rebels are coming to the city, Qin Jin has returned with a black face, and there will definitely be no good thing.
"Why did Qin Envoy Jun go and return?"
The gatekeeper asked as usual, and Qin Jin urged:
"Open the palace gate quickly, emergency military situation!"
The four words of emergency military intelligence were as piercing as needles, and the guards hurriedly asked people to open the palace gate and let Qin Jin enter the Taiji Palace.
Qin Jin arrived at the palace where Li Heng was located almost at the same time as the small yellow gate of Tongyu.
When Li Heng saw Qin Jin, who was in a hurry to return, he also had a bad premonition, so he just looked at him silently, waiting for him to speak.
Unexpectedly, after Qin Jin entered the palace, he actually bowed and worshipped, and shouted at the same time:
"Minister Qin Jin invites His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
In just one sentence, Li Heng heard that he had been struck by lightning, and his whole person froze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jin hurriedly roared and returned, just to persuade him to enter, Li Heng had clearly rejected him before, how could he bring up the old matter again now? There must have been a major event that he couldn't imagine, and it was a major event that even Qin Jin couldn't solve!
"Qin envoy get up quickly, tell me, what happened?"
Qin Jin sighed secretly, Li Heng was really smart, and before he could say it, he understood that something big had happened.
"It's not a good thing! The minister got a secret report, and the Son of Heaven has made the princes the envoys of the festival, sharing the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and quelling the chaos in one piece!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Hengden was stunned, and he didn't think about what it meant behind it. After a long time, he couldn't help but slap heavily on the royal case.
"Confused, my father is confused!"
Then, Li Heng hurriedly said to Qin Jin:
"If the news is true, the world will inevitably be torn apart, and each will fight for itself! Not to mention quelling the chaos, even if your own family members will kill each other!"
The princes obtained the military power and went to various places as the envoys of the festival, making it clear that it was a broken jar, and the ultimate goal of any victory was to leave a bloodline for the Li family, so as not to be served by An Lushan.
From this chaotic fate, Li Heng also saw Li Longji's desperation, if it were not for despair, how could it be possible to divide the princes to all parts of the country and grant military power? At the beginning, he did his best to prevent the princes from holding the slightest bit of power.
"Does Qin Envoy have a good way to resolve the crisis?"
Qin Jin didn't answer immediately, just looked back at Li Heng. Li Heng immediately understood, and was a little deflated.
"Is there no other way? It is not my wish to rebel against my father with my son!"
Li Heng's state of mind is complicated, at this time he is no longer clean on his resume, the previous mutiny has been infamous for betraying his father with his son, but if he is asked to carry it a second time, it will be more difficult to overcome this hurdle than the first time.
Seeing Li Heng's hesitation, Qin Jin pondered for a while and asked:
"Fame and the world, which is more important, please think about it. ”
Li Heng was still unwilling.
"Is this the only way?"
"Yes, there is no simpler, better way!"
Qin Jin paused and continued:
"As long as His Royal Highness makes a decision and ascends the throne as the emperor, the military and people in all parts of the world will inevitably return to their hearts, and the edict of the Son of Heaven canonizing the princes will become a dead letter!"
On the palace, both the monarch and the minister stood on the spot, without saying a word for a long time, and the air seemed to freeze with it. Outside the hall, the sound of bells came slowly......
