Chapter 646: Chaos Suddenly
Li Fuguo secretly said that the rumors of Qin Jin's "fear of the inside" were all because Mei Xi overheard the words of Huangfu Ke and the Son of Heaven, and if it was truthful, it would inevitably cause the displeasure of the Son of Heaven, so he said softly:
"Your Majesty, how can the old slave explain the contradiction between men and women?"
This sentence did not directly answer Li Heng's question, but it was the most appropriate answer, neither lying in front of the Son of Heaven, but also not telling the truth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Heng was not angry when he heard this, but a little apologetic. Indeed, Li Fuguo is a eunuch and has physical defects, so it is indeed not very appropriate for him to comment on this matter.
However, this kind of apology cannot be said directly, otherwise it will be another injury to Li Fuguo.
To be honest, Li Heng is a person who can think about each other very much, especially when he treats the people around him, even eunuchs like Li Fuguo care about their feelings.
Regardless of whether he asks or not, Li Heng is still very curious about how Qin Jin is "afraid of the inside", and he really can't imagine that Qin Jin, a character who is so good at means and commands tens of thousands of troops, is actually afraid of women. As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, it seems to be true.
"Let's go, go to the worm girl!"
Li Fuguo was worried about it, afraid that the eldest princess of Shou'an would say that she would leak her mouth and bring out the matter of Mei Xi's eavesdropping, so he politely dissuaded:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that going at this time will only embarrass the eldest princess, so it's better to wait for this matter to fade away, and it's not too late to ask. ”
Li Heng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he dispelled this idea again, and returned to the back of the imperial case to prepare for government affairs.
Li Fuguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has to find an opportunity to find Mei Xi, so that she and the eldest princess can unify their voices, and they must not leak out the news of this matter.
For some reason, Li Fuguo unconsciously regarded the eldest princess's maidservant as a sister who had long been unknown to her. Of course he knew that Mei Xi was definitely not her, even if her sister was still alive, she was already over forty years old at this time, how could she still be a teenage girl?
"Your Majesty, the old slave remembered that there were still urgent matters to be dealt with in the army, so he retired first!"
Li Heng was different from his father Li Longji, who believed that eunuchs had no children and no daughters, and were the most suitable candidates to take charge of the army, so in addition to Qin Jin and several other close ministers, he vigorously promoted and reused eunuchs.
Li Fuguo was diligent in his official duties, and Li Heng was naturally very supportive, and he was not willing to let him delay more time in the Taiji Palace, so he waved his hand to signal that he could retreat.
After Li Fuguo withdrew from the palace of the Son of Heaven, he did not leave the Taiji Palace immediately, but went to find Mei Xi in person, he planned to warn her that she must be cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, even if the eldest princess of Shou'an is loved by the Son of Heaven, so she does not know how to advance or retreat, it is very likely to bring them big trouble.
Who knows, outside the palace of the eldest princess, he pounced. The eldest princess, Aunt Nan and Mei Xi are not in the palace. I asked the people in the palace where the eldest princess had gone, but the answer I got was that I didn't know anything. It seems that the eldest princess has confessed and is not allowed to reveal her whereabouts.
In the past two days, the eldest princess has been out of the palace frequently, which has given Li Fuguo a headache. At present, the public order in Chang'an City is very bad, and there are endless incidents of robbery and even murder in broad daylight, and if the eldest princess of Shou'an is unfortunate enough to catch up, how can he explain to the Son of Heaven? It is said that there is already an imperial history that is ready to impeach the heavens because of this, and as for who the impeachment is, even if it is not explicitly stated, it has already been revealed. The Left Guard is responsible for the defense and security in Chang'an City, and he is responsible for being the general of the Left Guard, no matter what excuse he has.
In this matter, the Son of Heaven tactfully told him yesterday that he wanted him to restore law and order in the city as soon as possible, so that the doubts of the ministers would be reduced accordingly. It is clear that the Son of Heaven suppressed the imperial historians' doubts about the Left Guard and him with his majesty.
On the surface, Li Fuguo has more power in his hands than in the past, but an invisible pressure is always with him, whether it is in terms of power and prestige, he still can't forget the back of Gaolishi at the beginning.
Several troubles were entangled together, making him feel that one head was three big. It was only at this time that Li Fuguo had an unprecedented understanding. It is said that the height is not cold, so far there is a comprehension, Standing in the position of one person above ten thousand people, it is also equivalent to putting oneself in the position of the limelight, which has both envy and jealousy, but also more vicious hatred, if you are careful from time to time, beware of the attack of open guns and arrows, maybe when there will be a disaster of killing.
Out of the Taiji Palace, Li Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pressure that followed him had been reduced a lot, there was no cloud in the sky, the sun was a little dazzling, and he unconsciously raised his hand in front of his forehead to block the sun.
The war horse moved forward slowly, and he understood why Gao Lishi was extremely authoritative, but he didn't get too involved in power, where was the reason why he understood the proportion, this was clearly a long-term plan for self-preservation. Therefore, during the more than 40 years of the reign of the Emperor Taishang, Gao Lishi has always stood firm, but on the other hand, several of the former ministers of the Emperor Taishang who started from the time of the Qiandi have died well? Didn't they all fall in complicated political disputes? Even Chen Xuanli, who had always been scheming, was no exception.
Thinking of this, Li Fuguo sneered a few times, all of this is due to fate. If you can be a peaceful son today, you will be happy to be low-key like Gaolis. But the current situation does not allow it at all, even the Son of Heaven himself is facing a serious potential crisis, if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe that will never be recovered.
Li Fuguo gritted his teeth, the Son of Heaven used him, that is, he used his ruthlessness and scruples, if he was timid and cared about those bullshit and imperial history of the bullets, then how different was it from a waste person?
Let those bullshit goers impeach, sooner or later they will rip out their tongues one by one, and then let them swallow them in their stomachs, and see who else dares to bark like rabid dogs?
Secretly ruthless in my heart, I have turned onto Suzaku Street unconsciously, which is one of the most prosperous streets in Chang'an City, in addition to the pedestrians in the city, there are also a considerable number of business travelers from all over the world. Of course, due to the closure of Tongguan, most of the business travelers came from the Western Regions in Longyou, Hexi, or even thousands of miles away.
In addition to the Imperial Road of the Son of Heaven, the spacious streets were like carp crossing the river, and pedestrians were also shoulder to shoulder, and Li Fuguo and his entourage were blocked in the flow of people.
When Li Fuguo came to his senses, he found that he and his entourage had been dispersed by the flow of people, and he was about to leave the crowded Suzaku Street and turn to other streets, but suddenly heard a commotion spreading from the front.
Suddenly, Li Fuguo was first surprised, and then he was angry.
It's just that these arrests make trouble on weekdays, but this time they were bumped into by him, so don't blame the ruthlessness of the hot hands and rectify the law!
Li Fuguo subconsciously called his subordinates, intending to order them to arrest all the people who made trouble, but he soon found that his idea was too simple, although he brought more than a dozen followers, but there were more than a dozen troublemakers. In other words, seven or eight out of ten people as far as the eye can see are taking advantage of the chaos to fight and rob.
"There is really no king's law, do these Diao people regard the law of the Tang Dynasty as nothing?"
Li Fuguo shouted several times in a shrill voice, trying to attract people's attention, but the chaos had already spread, and his voice was like a flat boat being swallowed up and drowned in the raging waves, and there was no trace left.
At this point, Li Fuguo remembered the benefits of sounding the gong to open the way. But the reason why he is light and simple is also to learn from Qin Jin's appearance, the main purpose is to improve efficiency, if you don't want to have a benefit, there must be a disadvantage.
"Come, come, disperse the chaos, disperse the chaos!"
At first, the Left Guard retinue brought by Li Fuguo also tried to carry out the order, but they soon realized that a dozen or so people did so in vain.
Suddenly, the cold sweat on Li Fuguo's body flowed, and he suddenly realized that if he didn't control the situation as soon as possible, wouldn't he be even more passive if it spread into a large-scale riot?
"Hurry up and transfer troops, transfer troops!
The military camp of the Left Guards is south of the Imperial City, and if you want to reach it, the nearest way is to cross Suzaku Street, but the nearby roads have long been congested by the chaotic people, so how easy is it to go out? At this time, Li Fuguo regretted a little, he should not have been in a hurry to completely complete the defense of Chang'an City in the hands of the Shenwu Army, at least let them withdraw step by step, but now it is good, the experience of the Left Guard Army cannot be compared with that of the Shenwu Army, and various problems will soon be revealed after taking over.
Today, the problem is clearly even worse.
"General, there is still a team of men and horses in Chang'an City that can be mobilized, and it is in Kaihuafang!"
Li Fuguo was also ill and rushed to the hospital at this time, and immediately remembered the new army barracks located in Kaihuafang. Kaihuafang was burned down by the rebels at the beginning of Emperor Taishang's escape from Chang'an, and later it was used as a camp for private and unity soldiers, until Chang'an was relieved, and then allocated to a new army recruited by the children of noble relatives.
And the commander of the new army was none other than Li Yu, the king of Guangping. Strictly speaking, the New Army was not one of the Sixteen Guards officially named by the Son of Heaven, and was not officially formed. So, although they were still stationed in the city, they did not have any authority.
At this time, Li Fuguo also didn't care about how little he had with the king of Guangping, let alone whether it was in line with the rules to call the new army. At least he still has a military envoy from inside and outside Chang'an, and even if he investigates it in the future, it is not completely without words!
"Go, go to Kaihuafang and ask the king of Guangping to transfer troops to quell the chaos!"
In fact, there was no need for Li Fuguo to send someone to mediate, just as they were struggling to squeeze out, they only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the chaotic people, who were still in a hurry, became ghosts and wolves howling in an instant.
Li Fuguo looked closely, and saw a large group of black-armored cavalry coming from the direction of Kaihuafang, and the momentum was terrifying. He muttered secretly, could this be the son of Xun Qi trained by King Guangping?
