Chapter 220: The most difficult thing is the human heart

Li Yu suddenly responded to Li Heng with two sneers.

"It is precisely because of the world that everything may not be the most important thing for His Highness!"

Hearing this, Li Heng's heart was shocked, and his intuition was difficult to accept this kind of heart-damaging words. He looked directly into Li Mi's eyes, trying to find a hint of his original intention. However, Li Mi's eyes were full of openness, which made him give up quickly.

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"Now there are only two paths in front of Your Highness, which are waiting to be chosen. First, immediately enter the Xingqing Palace and control the Son of Heaven, so Gao Lishi will become a tree without roots, and sooner or later he will perish. ”

Taking advantage of Li Mi's pause, Li Heng asked, "What about the second?"

Li Mi's gaze turned introverted, and he sighed: "Second, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give up Chang'an and go into exile!"

Li Heng, who was shocked by one sentence, was stunned.

"This, this ......"

The carriage came to a steep stop, and the voice of the rider rang out.

"Your Highness, it's here!"

Li Heng got out of the car in despair, and when he saw that Li Yu was still following him, he squeezed out a very unnatural smile.

"Li Heng categorically can't kill his father, so why should Mr. follow me, an indecisive woman?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yu responded with a smile:

"If His Highness chooses the former, Li Yu will leave His Highness without hesitation and go back to Zhongnanshan!"

Li Heng Daqi, for the monarch has always been weak and indecisive, such as Taizong and today's son, they are both people who will never be soft on the throne, and would rather face each other to their loved ones, and then create a generation of prosperity. Now that he is doing the opposite, Li Yu's generation of geniuses, it is naturally not a lie to say so.

"Li Heng is confused, please clarify the doubts!"

Li Mi bowed to the ground.

"The minister wants to follow is the prince who is the world's people. Although His Highness acts according to his own heart, the minister can ensure that His Highness is safe. ”

Li Mi's answer made Li Heng more and more confused, Li Mi is just a Taoist celebrity, he has no power to tie the chicken, and he has no military power, how can he protect himself in this sinister form? But Li Heng also knows that a celebrity like Li Mi never speaks a slang, and since he can say it, he must be 100% sure.

……

After Gao Lishi's men and horses captured Chengtianmen and Yong'anmen, they confronted each other with the Shenwu army, but they were not in a hurry to attack, as if they were waiting for something.

Qin Jin knew that if Gao Lishi pressed it with all his might, it shouldn't be a problem to take the imperial city. After all, the Shenwu army only has more than 3,000 people, and on the one hand, they have to besiege Xingqing Palace, and on the other hand, they have to be responsible for the guards of the imperial city and the East Palace, and their troops are already stretched. Moreover, since the main forces are all in Xingqing Palace, the guards of the Imperial City and the East Palace are relatively weak. Compared with Colliers' 30,000 new troops, the disparity in strength has reached the extreme.

His first response was to go to Long Wujun's station in Danfeng Gate to meet Chen Xuanli. However, an unexpected situation happened, and Chen Xuanli refused it under the pretext that he was not in the camp for inspection.

Qin Jin never believed in any coincidences, and Chen Xuanli's actions only proved that his thinking had changed, and perhaps he was looking for a way out for himself again. But even if this is the case, what can it be? Could it be that he rushed in and pointed at Chen Xuanli's nose and scolded him at both ends of the head?

Hearing that the crown prince had already gone to the army, Qin Jin's mind had just settled down a little, and seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he could only stare dryly and helplessly. A sense of powerlessness filled Qin Jin's body, and even in the Jedi where the soldiers of Xin'an were pressing, he had never been so depressed and helpless.

On the way back to the military camp outside the Xingqing Palace, Zheng Xianli took a burly Hu man to find Qin Jin.

This Hu man is Wuhu Huaizhong, since he led his subordinates to vote for Qin Jin, this Tiele people from the same Luo Department have always regarded Qin Jin as their master.

Now that he and Zheng Xianli have come together, Qin Jin has a bad premonition.

Fortunately, Zheng Xianli and Wuhu Huaizhong did not bring bad news, but they just asked him to make two choices.

Wuhu Huaizhong is not good at words, and his Chinese words are not good enough, so Zheng Xianli is the only one who speaks during the whole process.

After Qin Jin heard the intention of the two people, his brows tightened.

Zheng Xianli's suggestions can be described as heartfelt words, but this is not what Qin Jin wants.

Raise troops to break through the palace gate of Xingqing Palace, rush into the palace, find the son of the day, or kill or capture.

However, in terms of killing and capturing, Zheng Xianli is more inclined to kill, and even provides a method that can perfectly cover the eyes and ears of outsiders. After killing the Son of Heaven, he burned down the Xingqing Palace again, and claimed to the outside world that the eunuchs set fire to the palace after the destruction of the palace, and when the time came, just find a charred corpse as the remains of the Son of Heaven. And this is not the end, I have to send people to spread rumors in the community, saying that the Son of Heaven escaped in the chaos when the palace was broken, and the charred corpse was fake.

With such a mess, who will pay attention to the Shenwu Army that broke the city?

This method seemed to be seamless, but Qin Jin refused without thinking about it.

There was no way, Zheng Xianli had to come up with a second method.

If you can't make a ruthless decision, then you can only take advantage of the fact that the situation has not completely deteriorated and leave this smoky Chang'an City with your cronies.

Wuhu Huaizhong has 400 Tongluo warriors, plus the hundreds of people left by Xin'anjun, he can always make up the number of thousands. It would be great if the people of the Shenwu Army were willing to follow and leave.

However, Zheng Xianli did not count the people of the Shenwu Army as cronies who could leave with him at first. After all, the main ingredient of the Shenwu Army is the children of Chang'an Xunqi, and behind these people there is a family that cannot be separated, how can they follow Qin Jin and leave?

Qin Jin was greatly moved, he couldn't imagine that when he was upset and irritable, there were still two good brothers who were planning for him wholeheartedly, although he would not adopt either of these two suggestions, he still said bluntly after admiring: "If I leave, it will be to leave the three thousand Shenwu Army brothers who rebelled with me behind, and give them an explanation no matter what!"

Zheng Xianli was silent for a while, Qin Jin was right, he should indeed give an explanation to the three thousand Shenwu Army, these people were desperate for him, how could they sell them all for the sake of their own gain? If Qin Jin was really this kind of villain who would do anything to achieve his goals, Zheng Xianli would have left without hesitation a long time ago, and he would not risk his life to plan for it today.

Compared with Zheng Xianli, who was more thoughtful, Wuhu Huaizhong was much simpler, he only thought that how Qin Jin chose was his own choice.

In desperation, Zheng Xianli did not return to the Ordnance Supervision Office, so he followed Qin Jin to the military camp outside Xingqing Palace.

After arriving at the barracks, Lu Qi and Yang Xingben came to see Qin Jin with all the brigades.

Obviously, these people also heard the news that Gao Lishi suddenly entered Chang'an with a large army. However, their attitude is much more optimistic, believing that as long as they change their strategy, step up their offensive, and enter Xingqing Palace, everything will still be under control.

Qin Jin's previous siege plan was that he didn't want to use swords in Xingqing Palace, nor did he want Li Longji to have any accidents, he just wanted to force Li Longji to admit defeat and surrender, and take the initiative to cede the throne to the crown prince Li Heng. This is the only way to minimize internal tears that occur during a full handover.

If there is no external trouble, it doesn't matter if you fight hard. But at this moment, there is still a "big swallow" in the east of Guanzhong, who can rush up at any time and bite hard, and deal a fatal blow to the exhausted Datang.

It is a pity that the Tang Dynasty, which has internal and external troubles, has to go through all kinds of strange civil strife, and it is sad that Qin Jin, who has always hated internal strife, is also one of the promoters of infighting.

But what can he do? For the sake of self-protection and for the sake of the Shenwu Army, he must also cheer up and do things that he deeply hates.

And at the same time when a group of people were in high spirits and shouting that the battle would be decided, Pei Jing rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing Pei Jing, Qin Jin's psychology immediately sank.

Pei Jing was in charge of the guards of the Imperial City and the East Palace, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no major event, he would definitely not leave and came here in person.

Sure enough, Pei Jing personally sent a letter, a handwritten letter from Gao Lishi.

The content of the letter is very simple, and there is only one main purpose, that is, threats! Gao Lishi first explained in his heart why he did not continue to act after taking Chengtianmen and Yong'anmen.

Because he didn't want the imperial city that had been built for more than a hundred years to encounter war, and he didn't want to affect the people of Chang'an City, he stopped fighting for the time being. At the same time, he also hoped that Qin Jin could maintain restraint and not act like a jealous man, the Son of Heaven was too old to withstand the toss, so try not to disturb the Son of Heaven.

This letter seemed to be a common thing, but in Qin Jin's eyes, it was undoubtedly a low-key and extremely deterrent threat. On the surface, Gao Lishi said that he stopped the army because he cared about the creatures in the city, and he couldn't bear to see the people in the war. In fact, the point is the Son of Heaven mentioned later, which means that as long as Qin Jin can maintain restraint and not storm Xingqing Palace, he will not enter the city for the time being, and this fragile balance will be maintained for the time being. Otherwise, he will kill the generals at any cost.

Jiang is still old and spicy, although Colliers is not good at military affairs, but in the final analysis, this infighting is still fighting people's hearts. Colliers is the most insightful, and just a letter can withstand thousands of troops.

Pei Jing obviously understood the threat in Gao Lishi's letter, so he hurriedly roared.

"General Zhonglang, how should we deal with it?"

Qin Jin pondered silently, and he handed over the letter to Lu Qi and Yang Xingben. After reading it, the two of them also had a clear attitude.

"The old eunuch thinks he can scare the Shenwu Army?

Yang Xingben said happily, but Lu Qi was pushed back by a word.

"Aren't you afraid of threats, you went and retired the 30,000 horses of Colliers!"

"This, this...... I'm alone, covered in iron, and I can hit a few nails? Isn't that embarrassing?"

Lu Qi snorted, "Then don't be open-mouthed, mess up the morale of the army!"
