Chapter 653: King Yong makes up his mind

Li Lan smiled disapprovingly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What is a disaster from the sky? The Son of Heaven has already pointed his sword at the Eastern Capital, and overcoming it is just around the corner, where is the disaster from heaven?"

In his eyes, his eldest son is both acute and willing to attract attention, so he often talks rhetorically and even alarmist, and now he is just a relapse.

However, this time, Li Hao's face did not have the conceit and recklessness of the past, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes from time to time.

"Xue Hao's assassination of the prison army Wei Heng failed, and Wei Heng has fled back to Chang'an overnight!"

"Again, don't always say something alarmist......"

At this point, Li Lan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and after a sudden pause, his body rose and fell violently, and he asked loudly in an unprecedented tone:

"You, you repeat, who did Xue Hao assassinate?"

"Xue Hao failed to assassinate the prison guard Wei Heng, but was escaped by him!"

Suddenly, Li Lan was furious.

"This Xue Hao, this king has always treated him well, why is he so gracious and will take revenge? Go, go and bring this ungrateful wolf to me, but ask him why he is so ungrateful!"

Compared with his father's gaffe, although Li Hao also seemed to be emotionally anxious, he was much calmer.

"Father, although Xue Heng killed Wei Heng because of personal grudges, Wei Heng also has his own way to die, the world often says, the hatred of killing your father, the hatred of taking your wife, shouldn't you kill it?"

After Li Lan was furious, he collapsed on the soft couch and muttered:

"You really should kill him, but, can't you consult with this king before killing him?"

The grievances between Xue Hao and Wei Heng are almost well known in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, although Wei Heng is a eunuch but has a different lust from ordinary people, he secretly molested Xue Hao's wife by despicable means, and Xue Hao's wife committed suicide by hanging herself that night after being humiliated.

However, all this was not seen, and by the time Xue Wei learned the inside story, it was already too late. Without any evidence, of course Wei Heng would not admit it.

"How is this good, how is this good? When Wei Heng returns to Chang'an, he will definitely complain to the imperial brother and even frame him...... No, you have to explain it to the royal brother immediately, write a letter, yes, write a letter......"

Li Lan muttered a few words, then hurriedly spread out the paper on the desk, and picked up the pen again, but his right hand trembled so much that it was difficult to write. Li Hao was also emotional to a certain extent, and suddenly pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase to the ground.

"Father, at such a time, can it still be useful to write a letter?

"What I said is that I have to go back to Beijing in person, yes, I will return to Beijing in person, and explain to the imperial brother in person, and the imperial brother will definitely believe it......"

Seeing his father so out of shape, Li Wei didn't care about the etiquette between father and son, so he stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said:

"Wake up, half a month ago, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to let his father return to serve the Emperor Taishang, did my father listen to the edict and go? Now explain, who will believe it? Returning to Chang'an, you can only throw yourself into the net!"

This sentence made Li Lan like a lightning strike, he asked himself if he had no idea of being disloyal to the imperial brother, but he wanted to make a contribution, if there was no catastrophe, he might have died of mediocrity in the Ten Princes' Mansion in Chang'an. However, the troubled times are coming, and we can't do nothing, right? Leading the troops to quell the chaos and build immortal meritorious deeds, which Li family doesn't want to do this?

Emperor Taishang seemed to be able to glimpse what Li Lan was thinking, and first named him the envoy of the four festivals in the south of the Yangtze River, awarded him the governor of Jiangling, and later posthumously awarded him the governor of Guangling. It can be said that the land of thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River has been fully grasped in his hands, which one is willing to give up this low-hanging fruit?

Although Li Lan also knew that the imperial brother would definitely be angry at his decision to refuse to obey the edict, as long as the Anshi thieves were successfully pacified, he would be guilty of pleading, and the imperial brother would definitely forgive him as usual......

However, now that a eunuch has ruined all this, not only has the envisioned feat not had time to be realized, but it is also facing the disadvantage of being falsely accused.

"Then you say, what should I do?"

Li Wei stared and did not answer directly, but said in a deep voice:

"Xue Hao and Wei Zichun are waiting to see them outside, so my father might as well let them come!"

Li Lan's eyes showed resentment, and he immediately said hatefully:

'Let that wild wolf come to me!'

Xue Hao and Wei Zichun appeared in the middle hall at the same time, Li Lan was a little surprised, these two people don't seem to be very friendly on weekdays, how could they go together today? Could it be that Wei Zichun also participated in Xue Hao's evil deeds? This is unbelievable, if Xue Hao is a person who is easy to be emotional, then Wei Zichun is an extremely calm and rational person, and the two are almost each other's existence.

However, Li Lan couldn't care about this much, and he wanted to ask Xue Hao why he did such an ungrateful thing.

"The criminal minister Xue Hao pays a visit to King Yong!"

"You still have the face to call yourself a criminal?"

"The minister killed Wei Heng out of personal anger, but as long as King Yong uses this to achieve a great cause, the minister is willing to kill himself and apologize!"

"Shut up, illegal murder first, and now he is saying great rebellious words, don't think that this king can be open-mouthed if he is kind-hearted!"

Li Lan was so shocked and angry that he forgot to ask him about his guilt for a while. Suddenly, Wei Zichun on the side spoke.

"The minister also thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve great things!"

Li Lan is not stupid, seeing that Wei Zichun said this, he immediately understood the reason.

Li Hao and these staff members privately persuaded him all day long to take half of the country according to the story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Li Lan always felt that this was a fantasy, but refused to agree, he didn't expect that they would use this method to force themselves to the Jedi.

After thinking about everything, Li Lan glared at his eldest son, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but suddenly found that his mind was blank and he couldn't say a word. After a long time, he pointed at Li Wei and said:

"You, the good deeds you have done, can you bear to watch your father become an unfaithful and unfilial person?"

These words were a little sad, but it was much beyond Li Hao's expectations, he thought that he would definitely be accused and scolded by his father, but who knew that it was so.

However, Li Hao did not feel guilty because of this, and even felt that his father had wronged him. In ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved great things have very human hearts, and they can only come to this world in vain when they are constantly interrupted.

"The matter has come to this, the father blames, and the son has nothing to say, I only hope that the father will have the day to win the world and remember the ...... of the son today"

"Shut up!"

Li Xuan shouted loudly, but this shout stopped abruptly at the most piercing point. He suddenly found that he really had no choice, and the assassination of the prison army was like yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, how could he explain it clearly? Thinking of the tragic death of his three elder brothers at the hands of the Emperor Taishang, he couldn't help but shudder deeply.

"Tell me, what do you want the king to do?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Li Hao and the three of them showed joy at the same time.

Xue Hao immediately said:

"The top priority is to control the governor of the capital, Shi Lixian, either for the king's use, or to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

The people in charge of all the day-to-day affairs in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion have a long history of inconspicuous status, so in peacetime, the Metropolitan Governor is more of a symbolic official position. Xue Hao has this suggestion, which is also in common sense.

Li Xian, who has a long history, is also a distant branch of the Li Tang royal family, known as a virtuous and capable, if he can win over this person to be used by King Yong, he will naturally add an arm.

When Li Lan heard this, he was shocked:

"Li Changshi, I have already resigned due to illness this morning and returned to Chang'an!"

"What? gone?"

Li Hao and the three of them once again spoke in unison, at this critical and sensitive moment, Li Xian resigned due to illness, and there must be something strange in it.

Xue Hao said with a complaint:

"Why did King Yong let him go? As soon as he leaves, Chang'an will soon learn the news of the impending incident! There is not much time left for us!"

At this time, Li Lan was also a little panicked.

"This, this, if you had come earlier, how could this king have believed him easily?"

Li Hao also complained that his father acted too hastily, why didn't he ask more questions and keep him for one more day......

Wei Zichun, who had been silent, interrupted Li Hao and Xue Hao's complaints.

"Now is not the time to clarify responsibilities, it is better to think about how to deal with them!"

"What's the solution?"

Li Lan asked.

Wei Zichun groaned for a while and said:

"Although Gangneung has the benefits of the rivers and gathers a large number of grain goods, it is not a place of physical beauty. Why didn't the Metropolitan Governor move to Jinling?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Xue Hao high-fived and praised:

Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the land of the tiger and the dragon, if this is the foundation, the great cause will be half of the first!"

Wei Zichun deliberately emphasized the official position of the Metropolitan Governor of Li Xuan, referring not to the Metropolitan Governor of Jiangling, but to the Metropolitan Governor of Guangling, who was posthumously awarded by Empress Taishang. Therefore, it is also justified for Li Luan to move the town to Jinling.

Seeing that his son and staff were so confident and confident, Li Lan's anxiety gradually disappeared, and he suddenly felt that he might be too nervous. Thinking about it, now as long as he wants the whole of Jiangnan, he can use the names of the envoys of the Four Towns and the Metropolitan Governor of Jiangling and Guangling to be included in his command, and all the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan have to obey the dispatch.

With so many chips, even Chang'an has to be cautious about himself, right?

Thinking of this, Li Lan felt that the imperial brother might not really tear his face with him, but when he thought of the various benefits that the imperial brother had done to him before, he felt a little depressed and guilty. Suddenly, Wei Zichun said again:

"King Yong's house is kind-hearted, and he will definitely blame himself for opposing his brother. But the minister has a word, please consider the eternal king, but all things in the world, do not forget the big righteousness because of small righteousness, if you can achieve a great cause according to this, so that the world will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, it will be a generation of saints!"

After listening to Wei Zichun's words, Li Lan was still depressed, but his heart had begun to loosen, after all, which son of the Li family did not want to achieve great things? Although he was flawed, he did not want to die in the Ten Princes' Mansion all his life.
