Chapter 924: The weakness of the Great Minister

In the Ten Princes' Mansion, Li Chenghong waited for three whole days and nights in torment, and when he learned the news that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was assassinated, he was not dead, and he was already prepared for a catastrophe. He knew that Ma Xiang Chung Bajie was a man of the world, and he would never allow anyone to rub sand into his eyes. Cui Lian's assassination is said to be his own business, but as long as he is willing to investigate, it is easy to find out the people involved behind it, even the little Zampu is afraid that he will not want to be alone.

In fact, when he learned that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was not dead, Li Chenghong had already prepared for the worst, in case Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie came to question him, he would push the question on Xiao Zampu Trisong Dezan. Anyway, in his opinion, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's biggest enemy is not himself, but Xiao Zampu, who has an orthodox aura behind him. As for the so-called nephew and uncle's affection, in Li Chenghong's view, it is the most meaningless thing.

However, just when Li Chenghong was anxiously waiting for the end to come, he learned another news. This news was transmitted by a mysterious person using the method used by Du Qianyun when he was in the Ten Princes' Mansion, so in his opinion, the credibility is very high.

"Yixi Wangbo killed the prime minister's cronies, is this to put up an anti-flag?"

There are no ministers that Li Chenghong can trust in these ten princes' mansions, and all his inner words can only be said to the eunuchs who grew up with him.

The eunuch's attendant couldn't bear to see his master panic all day long, so he comforted him with kind words:

"The Tibetan people are in the nest, and the day of His Majesty's rise is coming!"

"It's the day of the beginning?"

Li Chenghong laughed particularly sadly with a crying voice, and he had to admit that although he hated Ma Xiangzhong Bajie, his fate was tied to the Tubo people, and he was both prosperous and vulnerable. If the Tubo people are infighting, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie can successfully defeat all the pairs, and it is okay to say, once Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie is defeated, or even defeated and withdrawn from Chang'an, then what good results will be waiting for him?

Thinking about it with his toes, Li Chenghong also understood that it was impossible for Qin Jin to support him, there were so many clans in Chang'an City, and there were hundreds of sons and grandsons of the emperor, and any one of them was stronger than his own roots.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as the Tubo people fight by themselves, won't Your Majesty just be able to profit from it?"

These eunuchs are also naïve, and they actually wishfully think that as long as the Tubo people are gone, the subjects of the Tang Dynasty will still worship Li Chenghong as the Son of Heaven.

Li Chenghong shouted in a steep and sharp voice:

"I'm not stupid, I know that as long as Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie is finished, I will also be finished, those loyal ministers and filial sons, can they want to step on my back and ascend to a high position again......"

The almost crazy behavior frightened all the people around him who should be close to the palace, but there were no good words to calm his anger, so he could only stand far away, waiting for him to finish venting.

After about half an hour, the process finally quieted down, and the hysterical shouting and jumping consumed too much of Li Chenghong's experience, and at this moment he leaned weakly against the pillars, gasping greedily for air.

From his birth to before An Lushan's rebellion, Li Chenghong has been living a carefree and indisputable life, until the Tubo people found him and supported him to become the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

"I, I really want to sleep and never wake up...... Even if you wake up and find that this situation is just a nightmare...... Well, how nice that would be!"

Seeing that the master's tone of voice softened, several attendants dared to speak:

"Your Majesty, let's go to the couch to rest for a while, sleep your body, and your body will be more comfortable......"

Li Chenghong waved his hand weakly.

"I'm saying that I'm going to take a break, I'm so tired, I'm so tired!"

As tormented by Li Chenghong, there is also Xiao Zampu Trisong Detsen, whose residence is in Xingqing Palace, and he knows the news of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's assassination, but as for the life and death of this person, he does not know anything because of the closure of internal and external information.

But he had enough patience to wait, and if Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was really assassinated, or if he was seriously injured and difficult to see, his chance would come, and he believed that someone would stand up against this powerful minister who once covered the sky with one hand.

Although Trisong Detsen was only twelve years old this year, his mind was very different from that of his peers, calm and calm, and if he did not say it, no one would be able to see the torment in his heart. However, Yixi Wangbo and Basang Xi, who he thought were right-hand men, were both paid for Chang'an in advance by the cunning Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, otherwise they would definitely be able to make a difference by taking advantage of this opportunity. But even so, the young Zampu still did not give up hope, but waited in torment and anticipation, waiting for a miracle to appear.

In the end, what I was waiting for was not a miracle, but also a miracle, and the seriously injured Maxiang Zhong Bajie did not die, but even came to visit Trisong Detsen in person. Tri Song Detsen's heart couldn't help but be disappointed, but he still pretended to be sad and worried in front of this powerful minister.

"I heard that I was injured in the big attack, I was worried that I couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, but now that I see that the big picture is okay, I can rest assured, and I can finally sleep well today!"

As he spoke, Trisong Detsen even squeezed out a few tears.

In the face of this very well-behaved young man, sometimes even Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie wonders whether his words and deeds are sincere, or whether he must have at least seventy or eighty percent sincerity in his words and deeds, otherwise how can he say that he is emotional?

However, once he left Trisong Detsen, he did not meet him, and only analyzed and judged from various signs, this son's scheming was so deep that it made people feel cold, and their hairs stood on end.

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's weakness was seen in Trisong Detsen's eyes, although the appearance of the once stiff and ruthless wrist was an unpredictable existence, but now he only saw a body that was crumbling and wanted to pretend that there was no big problem.

At this moment, Tri Song Detsen really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, the more Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did this, the more it proved that his heart was empty, if he went forward, this was the most disdainful thing for the prime minister. It wasn't until he sent away Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie with kind words, and only Trisong Detsen was left alone in the room to sit alone, that he could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and the direct expression was restlessness.

It seems that the situation is far more different than he had previously judged, and the impact of the assassination of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie is probably not only that he was seriously injured, but that there must be something that he did not know about.

……

On the official road leading from Tongguan to Chang'an, the soldiers passed for several days in a row, and the rolled up loess face covered the sky and the sun, first the Tubo people who played strange flags, and then the Tang soldiers who marched slowly like the autumn tour team, during this period there was neither a big war, nor a small war, and even a conflict between the horses did not occur once.

So much so that the local people thought that the two sides had stopped and made peace, and many brave mountain people actually watched the excitement from afar.

Until there were sharp-eyed people who saw the unique banner of the Shenwu Army from a distance, the people could no longer suppress their cheers.

"It's the Shenwu Army, the Shenwu Army has fought back!"

All of a sudden, the sound of cheers resounded through the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, one after another, for a long time. The calm appearance of the Shenwu Army seems to have confirmed the speculation of the local people, and the two sides are afraid that they have already made peace!

However, what the local people didn't find was that the Tang soldiers who were slowly rushing westward not only had the banner of the Shenwu Army, but also the banners of the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei, but because the reputation of the Shenwu Army in Guanzhong was too loud, the people inadvertently ignored those different existences.

"It's the same Sixteen Guards, why is our Shence Army inferior to his Shenwu Army?" The eyes of the people are blind......

"Han San is silent, how can this be said casually!"

"I'm afraid that he will come, when did Third Brother Dou become so bold?"

Han Dou and the others are not very old, they look like they are in their thirties, and it is Han Bao, the judge of the Protector Army, who is frivolous and impetuous, and it is Dou Jia of the Central Protector Army who prevents him from talking nonsense. Both of their fathers and grandparents were officials in Chang'an, and they were shaded together to enter the forbidden army, and after several tosses and turns, they settled in the Shence Army, which was most valued by the Son of Heaven.

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, first the Son of Heaven suffered a stroke and was crippled, and then the Tubo people captured Chang'an, and the Shence Army only played the role of eagle dogs and lackeys for more time during the period, which power was attached to which, but unfortunately in the end, even Yu Chaoen, who was in charge of the Shence Army, was killed, and the Shence Army completely became a motherless child and was torn apart.

Now, even if they take refuge in the Shenwu Army, they still can't get rid of the fate of being treated as eagle dogs and lackeys, and it is obvious that the Shenwu Army also regards them as a dispensable existence. This is the source of Han Bao's extreme unhappiness in his heart, he just wants to scold, he wants to vent, to see how those Shenwu soldiers who keep saying hypocritical words can no longer be hypocritical will tear their faces.

"What kind of Shenwu Army, Shence Army is like a brother! It's clearly a trick to coax Zongjiao Xiao'er, what does he Qin Jin do with us, do you want to be a three-year-old child......"

Dou Jia saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he could only let it go, so he simply avoided it from a distance, and his ears were quiet.

"Which one is Dou Hujun? Which one is Dou Hujun? Doctor Qin is invited!"

Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd to find someone, Dou Jia was stunned for a while before he reacted, this was calling himself.

"Dou Jia is here ......"

Dou Jia was like a dream, and followed the soldier who came to look for him to walk slowly to the middle of the line, and he also wanted to hit fifteen buckets in his heart, seven up and eight down, not knowing what was going on with Doctor Qin looking for him. But seeing the seriousness of the military official's face, he didn't seem to want to talk more, and he only greeted a few polite words and had no intention of opening his mouth, Dou Jia had to give up the idea of finding out the news from the mouth of the military official.
