Chapter 211: The Son of Heaven Qi Qiran
"I am willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!"
While speaking, Chen Xuanli knelt on his knees and bowed solemnly to the crown prince Li Heng.
Li Heng didn't expect that he and Qin Jin would burst into tears when he and Qin Jin said the dignified General Longwu in just a few words.
"Hurry up, with the words of the army, Datang can't be messed up!"
This is, of course, a high-sounding compliment, but it also counts as Li Heng's response to Chen Xuanli's euphemistic statement.
Qin Jin finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not to induce with interests, but only to use loyalty as a handle to provoke him, and only after listening to Chen Qianli's advice to him did he make this risky move. It seems that Chen Qianli's judgment of Chen Xuanli is not wrong, this person is not a person who only knows what is at stake.
Now that Chen Xuanli has already expressed his position to Li Heng, Qin Jin naturally has no need to hold a high stand and continue to accuse him of being loyal and treacherous, but instead apologized to the ground: "Qin Mou offended, it is also a last resort, and I ask the general to forgive me!"
Chen Xuanli was very angry, how could this offending sentence show that Qin Jin's actions had a great impact on him? But since the matter has come to this, he can't speak ill of each other like an enemy, right? Besides, Chen Xuanli made this choice, and there was a faint reason in his heart that he couldn't speak for outsiders.
The Shenwu Army's actions tonight were too fast, it could be described as accurate and ruthless, just like hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, first occupying the East Palace, protecting the prince, and then arresting Yang Guozhong and himself, and cutting off the arms of the Son of Heaven. Although Cheng Yuanzhen ran away, that eunuch was not a person with courage, but he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would no longer be available by now. Although Gao Lishi is loyal to the Son of Heaven, after all, he is just a person who pampers power, and at such a critical moment, he does not have the ability to turn the sky upside down.
Based on the judgment drawn from the summing up of various factors, Chen Xuanli felt that maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, Datang will have another emperor. And the seemingly loyal prince will eventually ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five that is worshiped by thousands of people.
At this moment, all kinds of public and selfish intentions are entangled together, can he still be unmoved? Obviously not!
"Please come forward immediately and order the Long Wu Army to close the gates of Chang'an, and no one is allowed to transfer a soldier to the city!"
This is necessary, even though Chen Qianli has written various ministries in the name of long history. But in addition to the new army, the Shenwu Army also has the old army that existed before, they may not buy Chen Qianli, if these people are dissatisfied with Chen Qianli's words and insist on going their own way, it will pose a mortal threat to the actions of the Shenwu Army tonight.
Chen Xuanli nodded and said: "I have this intention, the army will not enter the city, I hope that the Zhonglang General will not hurt the innocent!"
Qin Jin laughed: "The general is so benevolent and righteous, Qin Jin naturally knows the stakes!"
In fact, in Qin Jin's plan, the best outcome is to exchange as little bloodshed as possible for a smooth transition of the political situation, and only in this way will the negative impact of this mutiny be reduced to the greatest extent possible.
Chen Xuanli's views also coincide with Qin Jin. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The Son of Heaven is old, hopefully, I hope Zhonglang will not be frightened......"
"Although the general is relieved, Qin Jin naturally does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Son of Heaven, and what he did tonight is really out of helplessness. ”
This kind of guarantee is the same as not saying it, if the Son of Heaven insists on resisting, will it be possible for them to give up the mutiny? Of course, Chen Xuanli knows that Qin Jin is by no means the kind of person who is kind to a woman, and at the critical moment, anyone who dares to stand in front of him may not hesitate to kill him.
Chen Xuanli suddenly felt that the Son of Heaven had personally picked up a wolf, if he had ...... He quickly swept all the assumptions out of his head, what was the point of making such assumptions at this moment?
……
Looking at the back of Chen Xuanli striding away, Li Heng's face had worry that could not be concealed.
"Isn't General Zhonglang afraid that Chen Xuanli will fight back this time?"
Qin Jin shook his head, at this moment, he could only trust his instincts, or rather, the lesser of two evils. If Chen Xuanli did not come forward to deter, once the old army of the Longwu Army made trouble, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm in Chang'an City, and once tens of thousands of people saw blood, it would be a catastrophe for Chang'an. And the Shenwu Army and himself, including the crown prince, will also find it difficult to escape from this catastrophe.
Maybe the prosperous and wealthy Chang'an City was not destroyed in the hands of An Lushan, but in the hands of his own people, which Qin Jin never wanted to see!
"Never, Chen Xuanli will remain neutral at most, and the two will not help each other!"
Lee Hyung was horrified.
"In that case, why not let Chen Xuanli leave?"
Qin Jin looked directly at the crown prince Li Heng.
"Your Highness, think about it, can the minister propose before, let Chen Xuanli raise troops to admonish?"
The so-called military advice is naturally only a military advice they launched tonight, but it is just a more euphemistic and nice way of saying it.
Li Heng suddenly said: "Could it be that General Zhonglang has long expected that Chen Xuanli will not send troops?"
Qin Jin nodded.
"Chen Xuanli is loyal and filial, and it is reasonable that he refuses to face the old master. It doesn't matter whether this person sends troops or not, and if there are too many people, it may be bad, and it is enough for the three thousand Shenwu army to take Xingqing Palace before dawn!"
Hearing the words of taking down Xingqing Palace, Li Heng's eyes reflected the flickering candle flames, flickering and jumping. At this moment, he had waited too long, but he didn't expect that he would achieve his wish in this way.
"Please ask Your Highness to dispatch in the center, and the minister will rush to Xingqing Palace!"
The two major events were over, Qin Jin hurried to Xingqing Palace, he was afraid that if Pei Jing made another mistake, tonight's action would really fall short.
In fact, tonight's mutiny can be regarded as everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The two big arms that the Son of Heaven can rely on, Yang Guozhong has become a prisoner, and Chen Xuanli has also fallen to the prince. At this moment, Li Longji has become a loner completely, and it is only a matter of time before Xingqing Palace is breached.
……
There is a side gate in the East Palace, and suddenly a man and a horse came from east to west in the dark.
"Stop, the palace is forbidden, quickly retreat!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. If you have something important, you want to see Chi Neijian. ”
The torch was suddenly lit, and a forbidden soldier approached the man who was walking in the darkness, but saw a beardless white face, which was actually a eunuch.
This eunuch is none other than Cheng Yuanzhen, the general of the Right Prison Gate. The Chi Neijian in his mouth was his friend when he was not yet developed, and now he also has a small status in the East Palace, but I don't know if this person is still there after the turmoil in the East Palace. But you have to take the risk and give it a try, otherwise you won't get a chance.
"Wait, don't move!"
Obviously, these forbidden soldiers guarding the side gate also knew the people of Chi Neijian, seeing that their attitude eased slightly, Cheng Yuanzhen relaxed slightly, it seems that Chi Neijian did not take advantage of the chaos to escape from the East Palace, which is really a blessing in misfortune for him.
……
As time passed, the crown prince Li Heng became more and more restless, pacing in the courtyard non-stop.
"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you!"
"No, no, nobody!"
As soon as he waved his hand and said a word, Li Heng suddenly paused, those who dared to come to see him at such a moment were definitely not idle people.
"Who wants to see you?"
The inner supervisor replied respectfully: "Cheng Yuanzhen, the general of the right prison gate!"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows, he heard that Pei Jing failed to capture and kill this person, but he was escaped, how can he go and return now?
The inner eunuch seemed to see Li Heng's thoughts, so he explained: "Cheng Yuanzhen wants to die for His Highness, and it is said that there is an incredible secret to tell His Highness!"
Cheng Yuanzhen colluded with Yang Guozhong in the big case of "Tired of Winning and Shooting Couples" and framed Li Heng too much. Li Heng instinctively wanted to kill this person, but after changing his mind, he dispelled this idea again.
Now even the treacherous and cunning Cheng Yuanzhen has rushed to join him, doesn't this confirm that the Son of Heaven has gone to great things? Killing this person may not outweigh the losses, leaving this person can just set an example for the government and the opposition.
Li Heng's thoughts are all based on the current situation. Even Cheng Yuanzhen, who actively framed him, has been forgiven and not blamed for the past, and those who have been against him in the government and the opposition will be relieved.
"See!"
……
In the Xingqing Palace, Li Longji wandered left and right in the palace, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped endlessly. Cheng Yuanzhen has been gone for half an hour, but there is no one to see now, and Gao Lishi has not been able to rush over.
The unprecedented fear was gnawing at his heart little by little, and the sense of powerlessness against the current situation made the old genius feel tormented.
Finally, Li Longji stopped and stopped waiting anxiously.
He decided to go to Yongjiafang to find Colliers himself, believing that in this world, anyone could betray him, and Colliers would never be.
Yongjiafang and Xingqing Palace are only separated by a wall, Li Longji led the three or five chamberlains to come lightly, and suddenly saw a plaque on a gate in the fang with a vigorous high letter, and his body involuntarily stopped.
Li Longji suddenly remembered that Gao Xianzhi was the same as the third product of the Zhongshu Sect, and after he became the prime minister of the political affairs hall, he was given to live in Yongjiafang. He did this, ostensibly as a favor to Gao Xianzhi, but in fact, he was watching nearby, and Gao Xianzhi's every move could not escape the eyes of the forbidden army.
And now, Yang Guozhong was detained by the crown prince, Chen Xuanli was gone, and even Cheng Yuanzhen didn't know where he went.
Suddenly, Li Longji found that he had reached the point where the tree had fallen and scattered, and his heart was infinitely desolate and sad. No matter how loyal Gao Lishi is, he will not have the ability to order the forbidden army and defeat the rebel party after all!
Gao Xianzhi entered Li Longji's line of sight at this time, making him feel like he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Knock!"
Li Longji's voice trembled, and there was also irrepressible excitement.
The chamberlain replied suspiciously: "Sage, the general's mansion is in front, this, this is the mansion of the prime minister!"
"Knock, knock!"
Li Longji was very impatient, and the waiter didn't dare to question it anymore, so he stepped forward and snapped the knocker.
After a long while, a crack opened in the black lacquer side door, revealing a gray head inside, and the waiter who looked at the knocking door asked with a worried face:
"Who knocked on the door in the middle of the night?"
"Hurry up and go to the high minister, the saint is here!"
"Saint, which saint?"
The Gaofu slave didn't react for a while, and then realized that it was the Son of Heaven, so he went to report the news.
While waiting, the noisy sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from far and near outside the square, and Li Longji's face changed greatly!
