Chapter 456: Another false alarm
With a bang, the pottery bowl that Zhang Qinggang picked up fell to the ground, and the hot water was sprinkled all over his body, looking very embarrassed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But this imperial prince who is Jing Zhaoyin couldn't care about his gaffe, stared straight at Li Yu, and only held back a sentence for a while.
"This, this, you, you're going to rebel......"
Li Mi did not flinch, and responded to Zhang Qing's direct gaze with a sharp gaze.
"The world is going to die, Zhang Dayin is still very vulgar?"
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, the crown prince Li Heng bowed his head and groaned, and he did not express his position for a long time, and there was a serious disagreement between Zhang Qing and Li Yu. On the contrary, it was Qin Jin, who was the initiator, who became a bystander, observing the change in the expression of the crown prince Li Heng behind Li Yu.
For a moment, Qin Jin even had a trace of sympathy and sorrow for this person, obviously as a prince, he would inherit the entire empire, but instead of getting the training and help he deserved, he would have to endure everyone's hostility and wanton oppression.
Being able to endure in this sinister environment for more than ten years without falling, Qin Jin believed that Li Heng was not an incompetent person, but it would inevitably have an irreversible impact on his character after being dormant for a long time. That is to be too cautious, and there is another way of saying that the side effects of being too cautious are timid.
As early as the last mutiny, Qin Jin had learned Li Heng's timidity, whether before or after making a decision, he put on an attitude of staying out of the matter, which is one of the reasons why Li Yu was able to hide from Li Heng and act without authorization. Could it be that after experiencing a failure, Li Heng still does not change his old habits?
If you still don't take responsibility and don't dare to stand up and take on the big responsibility, in the face of the powerful ministers and eunuchs, the fate of such a weak son of heaven can be imagined.
However, Qin Jin was only worried about Li Heng at this moment, but he didn't expect that if this prince was a strong son of heaven like Taizong, his fate might be very worrying in the future.
Qin Jin naturally learned from the last failure, quit his recklessness and recklessness, and only quietly waited for Li Heng to make a statement, only when Li Heng made a statement, he would reveal his attitude and discernment.
And Li Yu was still in that hurry, and when he saw that Li Heng was silent, his voice trembled.
"Your Highness, don't hesitate, hesitate again, this world will really have the surname An, is it true that His Royal Highness is willing to go to Shu to be a happy queen?"
Syllable!
The clay pots and bowls on several cases clanged with a loud bang, which jumped Li Yu, who was going to make a generous statement, and he looked at Li Heng, who rarely had a seizure, in surprise. saw Li Heng's palms slammed on the case, and his face turned purple.
"Say no more!"
A blazing flame of hope ignited in Li Mi's eyes, and the prince reacted so loudly, obviously angered by his own words, and only when he was provoked would he be forced to make up his mind. However, Li Heng said directly, but he was silent again, and it took a long time to raise his head and look behind Li Yu.
Qin Jin had been observing Li Heng, and now he looked at him, his eyes were still indecisive, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. It is no wonder that the Anshi Rebellion in history has not been completely quelled after ten years, and after the Anshi Rebellion, the secession of various places has become an established fact.
Such a son of heaven who has no responsibility and no courage, even if the city government is very deep and cautious, how can it be of any benefit to the current situation?
"Qin Envoy Jun thinks that I shouldn't go to Shuzhong?"
Now that Li Heng had already said this, Qin Jin felt that there was no need to wait for him to express his position, and if he waited any longer, he would only delay and delay the opportunity.
"Of course Your Highness shouldn't go, and you can't go. When today's son is old, his mind and physical strength are overwhelmed, only His Royal Highness is in the peak of spring and autumn, just when he is in danger, he stands up to defeat the thieves and restore the world. ”
After this statement, Qin Jin did not continue to persuade Li Yu as hard, and only waited quietly for Li Heng's response. There was a long silence in the room, and the silence made everyone feel tormented.
Fortunately, this torment did not last long, and Li Heng finally spoke again.
"In this way, it depends on Qin Envoy Jun and Mr."
After saying that, Li Heng got up and left the table, and shook his body at Qin Jin and Li Yu for a long time. At the same time, Jingzhao Yin Zhang Qing sat on the ground as if a catastrophe was coming, as if it was the end of the world.
Seeing this, Qin Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Heng happily agreed, everything from then on would be easy to say, and the dominant power should be returned to his own hands, otherwise look at the two henchmen around Li Heng, Li Yu is extremely bold and courageous, but he is a narrow-minded person, Zhang Qing looks more stable, but in fact he is a coward who has no responsibility.
In Qin Jin's opinion, these two people are typical pig teammates, but in order to leave Li Heng, the only golden sign in the world, it can only be so expedient.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Li Mi almost jumped up with joy, and only praised Li Heng for his wisdom again and again.
Finally, it was quiet, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, and it sounded like the commotion was intensifying.
"It's not good, is it again, mutiny again?"
Zhang Qing, who was sitting on the ground, had an earth-colored face and shouted loudly.
Everyone was startled, Qin Jin listened for a while, and intuitively felt that the source of the riot should no longer be in the station, it should come from the outside.
"Otherwise, although the sound is chaotic, there is no sign of spreading, it should be someone outside the post station. ”
"Could it be that the rebel army is coming?"
Hearing Qin Jin's analysis, Zhang Qing's panic did not subside, but worsened.
Qin Jin had been in battle for a long time, and his intuition told him that it was not a surprise attack by a foreign enemy.
Just as he was wondering, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the slave is back, the slave is back......"
Hearing this knock on the door, Li Heng's expression was relieved, and he said happily:
"It's Li Fuguo!"
Li Fuguo is Li Heng's personal eunuch, and compared with Li Yu and Zhang Qingxiang, he is also his most trusted confidant.
Sure enough, the person outside was Li Fuguo, and after seeing that Li Heng was unharmed, he knelt in front of him and wept bitterly, crying silently, and only whimpered for a long time:
"Slave maid, slave maid thinks that she will never see His Highness again......"
Seeing Li Fuguo's true feelings so revealed, Li Heng seemed to be nostalgic for his own experience, and his voice was a little choked.
"Get up......"
"Li Fuguo, do you know why there is a disturbance outside?"
For the sake of prudence, it is not suitable for Qin Jin and Li Mi to go out and show up at such a crowded moment, if they are recognized by some people, they will fall short. Therefore, Li Mi asked Li Fuguo, who had just returned from outside, very impatiently.
Li Fuguo wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and then said:
"The slave and maid have been looking for His Highness since they were separated in the mutiny last night, and they didn't want to meet the Tibetan envoy who also escaped from Chang'an, and the envoy had visited His Highness and remembered the appearance of the slave and maid, so the slave and maid were able to be taken in, and only then did they see His Highness again......"
It turned out that the riot outside was actually caused by the arrival of the Tibetan envoys, but it was neither an internal mutiny, nor a surprise attack by the external enemy, which finally made people feel relieved.
But I heard Li Fuguo say again:
"The Tibetan envoy wanted to enter the post station to rest, it seems that Yang Xianggong was afraid of an accident and insisted on refusing, and the two sides were arguing...... Fortunately, General Shicheng recognized the slave and maid, so he made an exception and let the slave and maid in......"
……
"Sage, the Tibetan envoy wants to force his way into the post station......"
Yang Guozhong, who was sweating profusely, stood in front of Li Longji, looking like he had been tossed and burned, but fortunately, Cheng Ruxuan was still loyal and could maintain the situation under his command, otherwise he was afraid that if he didn't wait to escape to Shuzhong, he would have to blow the lamp and pull out the wax on the road.
Yang Guozhong's original intention, in order to avoid extraneous branches, resolutely refused to allow the Tubo people to enter the post station, but the Tubo people were not good men and women, and they planned to force their way in when they saw that the Tang people were not allowed, which caused a riot. Li Longji was also frightened by the riots and became sleepy, so he summoned Yang Guozhong for questioning. When he heard that it was the Tibetan envoy, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can put it inside the wall, look at the barrier, and don't be afraid of them turning the sky. ”
"Obey the order!"
With Li Longji's edict, Yang Guozhong will no longer insist, in case it causes a bigger mess, who will bear this responsibility?
Just about to withdraw, Yang Guozhong hesitated, as if remembering something, and said:
"Your Highness is still outside the dock, has he moved into the dock?"
Li Longji waved his hand and said:
"The place the size of the dock ruler is crowded with princesses and underage royal grandchildren...... It's okay to stay outside...... There are only 20 Tibetan envoys, so you can send additional people to strictly monitor them, and then part ways with them as soon as the morning dawns. ”
The dispute finally ended with Yang Guozhong's concession, and Cheng Ruxuan ordered the forbidden army to open the gate of the walled wall and let the two dozen angry Tubo people enter the post station. A small riot was put down.
However, without Yang Guozhong's repeated instructions, Cheng Ruxuan did not dare to take it lightly, and sent 50 people to make the house where the Tubo people lived impassable, and each person had a torch in his hand, reflecting the vicinity as if it were day. The defense against the enemy naturally made the Tubo people dissatisfied, but for the sake of the hot water and cold food sent, the great dissatisfaction was also suppressed.
……
After listening through the window for a while, the sound gradually became quieter, and everyone relaxed a little. Li Heng only asked why Qin Jin was here at this time, and why he pretended to be a post officer.
It turned out that Qin Jin rushed to Jincheng first after crossing the bridge, and after learning that Jincheng County was burned, he expected that the Son of Heaven and his entourage would definitely go to Ma Weiyi for the night. Therefore, he arrived at Ma Weiyi first, but when he arrived, he found that all the management and miscellaneous servants had escaped. Qin Jin had a plan in his mind, and ordered people to find all kinds of clothes from the post station, and dressed up as the little officials and miscellaneous servants in the post station.
"Two thousand?"
When Zhang Qing heard that there were nearly 2,000 people in ambush ten miles west of here, he cried out in surprise. Li Mi glared at him dissatisfiedly and made a silent gesture.
Li Heng asked:
"Since Qin Envoy Jun is pretending to be a post officer, if he doesn't show up for a long time, will he ......?"
Qin Jin replied first: "The minister has been an official in the court for some time, and there are not a few people who know the minister, if you walk around rashly, it will inevitably be exposed, so I will ask the fresh faces under my command to be responsible for the reception, please rest assured, Your Highness, there will be no problems." ”
