Chapter 215: Swords and guns face each other again
Qin Jin rushed to Xingqing Palace on horseback, and heard someone calling to him halfway. Le Ma stopped and looked back, but saw a person chasing after him, but it was Li Fuguo, the personal eunuch of the crown prince Li Heng.
Li Fuguo's name in the history books of later generations is also like thunder, this person was unknown in the Xuanzong Dynasty, but after Suzong Li Heng succeeded to the throne, he shined, first relied on the favor of Suzong, and humiliated Li Longji who lost the throne and authority in every way, and even sent the once powerful Gaolishi to Lingnan, and later it was even more lawless, taking advantage of the opportunity of Li Heng lying on the bed, he launched a palace change to kill Empress Zhang, and the poor Li Heng was frightened to death on the sickbed.
In the history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Li Fuguo was a figure in the group of eunuchs. The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were in power, and they could even abolish the Son of Heaven, which was the precedent set by this person.
Therefore, Qin Jin's sense of this person is really bad, even worse than Bian Lingcheng, who is also a eunuch.
It's just that at this moment, there is no shadow of the eunuch in the history books on Li Fuguo's body.
"Zhonglang will go slowly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also rushed over, please Zhonglang will wait!"
Qin Jin was secretly anxious, and said in his heart, Li Heng was in the middle of the East Palace, so why did he have to go to Xingqing Palace in person? You must know that the sword has no eyes, and if it hits a stray arrow, it will be a catastrophe.
But the prince is the prince after all, and he is the future son of heaven. Qin Jin was patient and stopped to wait for Li Heng.
He didn't know what kind of change Li Heng's mind had again, but his intuition always felt that something had happened in the moment he left the East Palace that he didn't know.
"Will Zhonglang know why the prince has changed his mind?"
Originally, Li Fuguo never said a word in front of foreign ministers, but tonight it was unusual. Qin Jin happened to be also curious, so he said, "Please advise!"
Li Fuguo's smile seemed to be a little unwilling, "I don't dare to give advice, it's that His Royal Highness the Prince's ears are soft, and the slave maid is really afraid, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will be bewitched again......" Halfway through speaking, he wanted to stop talking, and then waved his hand again, "Don't say it, don't say it, I think the slave and maid are playing right and wrong if I talk too much!"
Qin Jin was confused, and said in his heart, sure enough, something happened, but what was it?
Soon, the answer was revealed, and it was the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen who followed Li Heng step by step.
Li Heng saw Qin Jin's stunned expression, so he took the initiative to explain to him: "Zhonglang will not be surprised, Cheng Yuanzhen took the initiative to vote, and he can just take it as an example to win the heart of a hundred officials!"
Of course, Qin Jin knew that what Li Heng said was from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't hide it from him, which was indeed a good thing, but he thought a little too simply.
Using Cheng Yuanzhen as a guise to show his belly, the idea of not being guilty of the past is certainly good. But Li Heng ignored Cheng Yuanzhen's bad deeds, just this "crushing victory" case, he wronged hundreds of officials, these people have long hated Cheng Yuanzhen, even those who have not yet been implicated, I am afraid they do not want such a treacherous and despicable eunuch to be forgiven and indulged.
After all, no one wants to be implicated by this eunuch for no reason one day in the future.
It can be said that under the ** of today's son intentionally or unintentionally, Cheng Yuanzhen, a mad dog, has played his role and value to the extreme, but while gaining the trust and reuse of the Son of Heaven, it has also made his popularity lose in just ten days.
If the crown prince forgives a person who is against him and has a high reputation, of course, it will have an immediate effect. But this object has now been replaced by Cheng Yuanzhen, but I am afraid that it will have the opposite effect.
But the words of advice, Qin Jin is inconvenient to say, once he says it, I am afraid that it will be misunderstood as personal revenge.
Qin Jin secretly held his breath, he couldn't imagine that even the mutiny would have to be constrained everywhere, and the crown prince Li Heng was admittedly a promising prince, but he still lost it on paper.
"How?
Since Li Heng asked directly, Qin Jin no longer hid his thoughts, but said bluntly:
"Your Highness, Cheng Yuanzhen can't stay. ”
Qin Jin's words had just begun, but a horse galloped over, and immediately the knight shouted: "Ahead, there is a Zhonglang general?
This shout stunned everyone.
In a daze, the knight had already rushed to the front, this was the Shenwu Army's scouting horse.
"Edict of the Son of Heaven!"
Qin Jin snatched the edict of the Son of Heaven from Tanma's hand, and just unfolded it, but heard a person scolding him: "Qin Jin is rude, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, why don't you submit the edict to His Highness soon?"
Cheng Yuanzhen's voice sounded at the right time, and Qin Jin's heart gave rise to a burst of disgust, this person wants to brush up his sense of existence no matter when and where, he just voted for the prince, and he was in a hurry to bite again?
It's a pity that the crown prince is not Li Longji, even if he needs a dog, it is not Cheng Yuanzhen.
Sure enough, Li Heng was not provoked by Cheng Yuanzhen, "Please Zhonglang will recite the edict of the Son of Heaven?"
Li Heng didn't pay attention to the details of Qin Jin's behavior, he paid attention to what was written in the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he was anxious to know what other means his father had to turn the tables.
Qin Jin promised, and unfolded the edict that the ink had not dried, and Cheng Yuanzhen sneered: "Cheng Yuanzhen, are you still not restrained?"
Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked and angry, and pointed at Qin Jin and said: "You are presumptuous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, without His Highness to speak, who dares to touch me?"
The implication is that the words of the crown prince are the golden rule now, and even the edict of the Son of Heaven is not easy to make.
At this time, Li Heng also frowned, although he had tried his best to restrain himself, Cheng Yuanzhen still didn't know how to restrain himself, but because of his previous decision, it was not good to refute him now.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven, Cheng Yuanzhen's demons confuse the public, frame Zhongliang, and immediately lock up the chaos, and behead ......him on the spot."
Qin Jin recited the edict of the Son of Heaven aloud, and everyone present was dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that the Son of Heaven would also play this trick.
"Why are you still stunned, and you still don't follow the edict to put this eunuch on the head?"
"Who dares to touch me?"
Cheng Yuanzhen saw the fierce light in Qin Jin's eyes, and the prince was instigated by himself, so he instinctively realized the huge danger, and took advantage of everyone's stunned kung fu to take out the short blade of self-defense from his arms, jumped forward two steps, and put it on the prince's neck.
This change happened too suddenly, and no one could have imagined that Cheng Yuanzhen was really a mad dog that bit people indiscriminately, and even the prince dared to hold him hostage.
However, Cheng Yuanzhen's movements are fast, and Qin Jin's movements are even faster. Qin Jin's gaze didn't leave Cheng Yuanzhen's body, and when Cheng Yuanzhen reached out and took it into his arms, he had already rushed in the direction of the prince. When Cheng Yuanzhen took out the short blade and swung it at the prince, Qin Jin's horizontal knife was already out of his body, and the edge of the short blade could touch the prince's neck, and the sharp horizontal knife flashed coldly, and it slashed down like a meteor, and then a miserable howl resounded through the sky, and Cheng Yuanzhen's right hand holding the short blade was broken off and fell to the ground.
All this happened too fast, it was just a moment of lightning, and the crown prince Li Heng had already gone from being in danger to turning the corner into safety.
It wasn't until Cheng Yuanzhen was pressed to the ground by the forbidden army and tied up firmly that Li Heng completely recovered from the shock.
"If it weren't for Zhonglang's vigilance, my life would be suspended!"
Li Heng was very embarrassed at this time, he treated Cheng Yuanzhen with generosity, but he didn't expect the other party to repay his grievances with virtue and want to harm himself. Unexpectedly, the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf was also fulfilled by him. At the same time, this is equivalent to slapping Li Heng hard, and in anger, Li Heng questioned Cheng Yuanzhen.
"I treat you well, why do you repay you like this?"
Cheng Yuanzhen originally planned to kidnap Li Heng, make Qin Jin throw himself into a rat trap, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak out of Chang'an, and go away from home, but it is also a way out to defect to An Lushan in Luoyang. But where did he think that his movements were fast, and Qin Jin was faster than him.
The sharp pain in the wrist penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and large beads of sweat rolled down the door of the brain.
"Haha! Now that we've come to this, what else is there to say? If you want to kill or chop, listen to your respect!"
At this time, Qin Jin put away the idea of beheading this person, Cheng Yuanzhen naturally wanted to kill, but he needed to kill in a more suitable and appropriate place, and now he killed it quietly, I am afraid it will be difficult to deter people's hearts and make lawless people fearful.
01 "Your Highness, Cheng Yuanzhen is treacherous and cunning, and he should be tried in a final case, and he will be sentenced to a canonical punishment to deter the world!"
"Good, good. Just according to what General Zhonglang said!"
Li Heng was shocked, and only then did he feel afraid, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his legs were soft and fluttering.
"Help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get on the horse!"
This thrilling episode was overturned, and the group continued to rush to Xingqing Palace.
On the way, Qin Jin learned that Li Longji actually used Gao Xianzhi and let him guard the palace city. And Pei Jing seems to have suffered a lot of losses under Gao Xianzhi's hands. This is not surprising, if Gao Xianzhi, who is famous in the Western Regions, can't deal with the fledgling Pei Jing, wouldn't it become a big joke?
Arriving at Xingqing Palace, the Shenwu army was waiting under the palace city.
"All the gates of Nannei have been watched?"
"People have been sent, but there are still insufficient manpower, and if the people inside rush out of other doors in a concentrated manner, they will not be able to stop it!"
Qin Jin nodded, Pei Jing was right, if Gao Xianzhi wanted to rush out, except for the palace gate in the north, the other gates would indeed not be able to stop it. But he didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to break through, because the Son of Heaven was too old to toss at all.
Besides, even if he rushes out of Miyagi, he is not afraid, which is more conducive to the situation to have a result as soon as possible.
After Chen Xuanli's clear statement, Chang'an City was already in his hands, and if the Son of Heaven ran out of the palace, he couldn't run out of Chang'an.
It's just that Qin Jin's mouth was filled with bitterness.
When he was in Xin'an, he wholeheartedly wanted to rescue this famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, he was tricked by God, and the two of them faced each other, how sad it was.
