Chapter 257: The Bird Comes Out of the Cage

Li Heng, who had been thinking about it for a while, was very irritable, and he had been waiting for the imperial court's edict to abolish the crown prince for several days, and this kind of anxiety about waiting for the "death penalty" was simply an unbearable torture. However, although the outside of Anguo Temple was heavily guarded, the inside of the temple was quite relaxed, and he was even allowed to walk between the various courtyards "accompanied" by the forbidden army, and of course, the courtyard where his cronies were imprisoned was absolutely permissible.

But today, I don't know if it was the carelessness of the forbidden army guards who "accompanied" the guard, or if there were other reasons, after Li Heng turned into the courtyard, he walked face to face with one person.

"Your Highness!"

A crying call woke Li Heng up from shock, and the person in front of him was actually Li Yu.

Before the surrounding guards could react, they saw Li Mi lift his robe and fall to his knees, and then cry bitterly.

"Death penalty, capital ......"

Until this time, Li Heng couldn't help but let out a long and secret sigh, he had today's prisoner, and it was not unrelated to the person in front of him. If it weren't for Li Mi's eagerness for quick success and quick profit, he acted without authorization...... Of course he had resentment, of course he was angry, but when he really saw Li Mi kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly, his heart softened again.

No matter what mistakes Li Mi makes, his heart is towards himself. Thinking of this, Li Heng couldn't help but be a little moved, the people he had been in contact with for half his life, who could treat him like this, I am afraid that he could count them on one hand, and Li Yu was one of them, how could he bear to reprimand him again?

Li Heng glanced left and right at the "accompanied" forbidden army guards beside him, and saw that they were indifferent to Li Yu's sudden appearance, as if they were pretending to be invisible. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and planned to talk to Li Yuxu for a few words.

By now, Li Heng has long had no scruples, and with the character of the Son of Heaven, his position as the crown prince can no longer be kept, and Li Yu is his cronies, and it is difficult to be spared. Until now, he has nothing to lose, and as for the only remaining life, from the moment he loses the position of the crown prince, there is no difference between living and dying.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Heng didn't hesitate anymore, stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Li Mi's arms with both hands, secretly exerting force.

"What is the sin of the sir, get up quickly!"

But Li Mi cried like a child, and after a while, he gradually stopped crying, and raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face.

The two quasi-monarchs and ministers talked as if there was no one around. In fact, the ending waiting for them will not be worse, and it is completely meaningless to care about the others, and the two who let go of the burden in their hearts are relieved.

After the two asked each other about their physical condition, the topic was naturally inseparable from the situation in Chang'an and the general trend of the world. Speaking of this, a smile originally appeared on Li Mi's face, and he suddenly disappeared without a trace. Clearly, he was extremely pessimistic.

Li Heng was a little puzzled.

"Why does the gentleman have such an expression?"

"The minister is worried that Chang'an is about to suffer the second sword disaster!"

Li Heng was very surprised by Li Yu's answer.

"How can there be a second sword disaster? There are Shenwu Army and Shence Army Gongwei Jingshi, which one dares to make trouble?"

But after saying this, Li Heng seemed to realize something, and his tone became hesitant.

I only heard Li Mi smile miserably.

"How can Your Highness be blinded? How can the Son of Heaven tolerate the Shenwu Army that once betrayed him to remain in the Jingshi?"

This sentence is like a word to wake up the person in the dream, Li Heng suddenly woke up, even if Qin Jin has the merit of recreation, it can't withstand his betrayal. This betrayal is bound to be like a fish bone, forever stuck in the throat of the Son of Heaven, and it will never die.

After figuring out this joint, Li Heng couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Qin Jin. Although it was Qin Jin who pushed him into the abyss, he didn't hate this person, and he could only blame it for making people.

"Your Highness is soft-hearted, and he hasn't been worried about it until now. That vertical man has the power of the army, and he has exhausted all the organs, how can he easily give in?"

"Really?"

Li Heng subconsciously asked, and Li Yu nodded indistinctly.

After getting Li Yu's reaction, Li Heng only muttered: "I hope there will be no more chaos, where can Chang'an withstand the second sword disaster?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mi laughed loudly.

"Your Highness, the minister can't bear to speak out, but, how can he bear His Highness to be in the dark and not know it, how can Chang'an know that there will be a second sword disaster, there will be a third and fourth ......?"

Li Yu's momentary madness made Li Heng feel cold physically and mentally, as if he knew this person for the first time, was this still the Mr. Changyuan he knew?

"Your Highness, don't be surprised, sooner or later, the rebels will break through the pass, wait......"

In this regard, Li Hengda disagreed.

"Tongguan has 200,000 soldiers from the old minister of Geshu, and if the rebels want to enter Guanzhong, is it difficult to insert their wings?"

"Why bother with wings, there are people in the DPRK who will get rid of the ...... of Geshu Xianggong for An's rebellion."

After Li Heng heard this, he was silent, and he already understood what Li Yu was referring to, but now he himself is still difficult to treasure, what role can he have for the current situation?

The unprecedented feeling of powerlessness made the prince, who had been a prince for more than ten years, sigh for a long time.

……

After a while, Yang Guozhong put down the pen in his hand, and after Yu Chaoen's reminder, he had already prepared the process of the Son of Heaven's book, as long as this book was on, he dared to be eighty percent sure that the Son of Heaven would pass it.

But as he copied it, an old figure staggered into the room. Yang Guozhong didn't need to look up, he could judge the identity of this person just from the sound of walking.

"Could it be that Yang Xianggong wants to go to the book to add fuel to the fire?"

Yang Guozhong raised his head in surprise, he didn't expect that such a secret conversation between him and Yu Chaoen was known to this old man, but he asked quietly, "Do you have another way to deal with it?"

"The law of dealing with it is humble and dare not say anything, but I am willing to analyze the current situation for the sake of the minister!"

"Say it quickly!"

Yang Guozhong held a playful and abusive attitude, and looked at Fan Changming, the old man who came without permission. If it weren't for this person's insistence on implicating the Shenwu Army, maybe he would have eliminated his political enemies one by one, but now it's good, he can only start all over again.

"Yang Xianggong, please listen to the humble words, Qin Jin first betrayed, the Son of Heaven hated him to the core, the reason why he did not bear it was all out of fear, Xianggong's letter that added fuel to the fire was submitted, not only could not help the Son of Heaven, but would drag down the court, and even force Qin Jin to rebel again!"

Yang Guozhong was noncommittal, just lightly for a sentence:

"How so?"

"How can you see it? If you release out of Beijing, you will lose everything, especially if you are a pawn to the death, and it is impossible for anyone to be willing to give in!"

The officials of the Tang Dynasty all aimed to be Beijing officials, and if they were released from the Beijing officials, they would be degraded if they were not even promoted to three levels. And if the Son of Heaven gives Qin a promotion, there may still be a glimmer of hope that the sword will not be moved, on the contrary

"Nonsense, don't mention this matter in the future!"

Yang Guozhong severely reprimanded Fan Changming.

This attitude greatly exceeded Fang Changming's expectations, the soldiers brought out by Qin Jin were not ordinary characters, once the Son of Heaven forced them to rebel, the consequences would be unimaginable. He originally wanted Yang Guozhong to persuade the Son of Heaven to give up this idea of quick success, but now it seems that this Yang Xianggong is also a quick temper, how can people not be helpless?

In fact, could Yang Guozhong not know that Qin Jin might be forced to rebel? But Qin Jin was in his arms when he rebelled, so that he could get rid of this person justifiably. Even if Qin Jin endured humiliation and stealing his life, obeyed the edict of the Son of Heaven, and released him out of Beijing, as long as he stepped on the right foot, he still had to obediently go to Pujin to be a ghost, and the rebels of An Lushan would clean up this person.

He doesn't suffer left and right, so why should he care about those unrealistic dangers?

After telling Fan Changming not to talk nonsense anymore, Yang Guozhong changed into his clothes and left the mansion in a hurry, heading straight to Xingqing Palace.

He wants to personally plead to the Son of Heaven, and it would be more perfect to trap Qin Jin and his people, so that this shaft can't even go out of the Jingshi.

But who knows, when Qin Jin arrived at Xingqing Palace, he saw Qin Jin walking out of Xingqing Palace, not only that, Qin Jin also bowed his head slightly to greet him.

Why did the Son of Heaven summon this person at this sensitive moment?

Puzzled, Yang Guozhong entered Xingqing Palace with more questions.

After seeing the Son of Heaven, Yang Guozhong did not hesitate, and directly said that he wanted to recommend a candidate for a talented general, that is, Qin Jin of the Shenwu Army.

Li Heng smiled.

"Your nose is as smart as a dog, but I'm afraid that at this time, my pen and ink have not yet dried!"

Li Longji's teasing remark made it difficult for Yang Guozhong to answer, he couldn't tell him directly, he was informed by the bribed eunuch, right? Of course, although Yu Chaoen was the envoy of Chang'an's Guanjunrong, he was still a eunuch.

"The political hall received a report from the Hedong Army today, the Yellow River is dry this year, and the rebels plan to cross the Yellow River to attack Pujin, which is the northeast gateway of Guanzhong, if it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Are you so sure, Qin Jin will definitely be able to assess the situation if he goes?" Li Longji also heard about Pujin's danger.

Yang Guozhong rarely asked rhetorically: "Does the sage think that there is a more suitable candidate?"

This sentence stunned Li Longji for a moment, Yang Guozhong was right, and there is indeed no one more suitable than Qin Jin in the capital today.

Moreover, it was only now that Li Longji's eyes revealed undisguised hatred. The sensitive Yang Guozhong immediately felt that he had grasped the tangled thoughts in the heart of the Son of Heaven, for fear that he would worry that Qin Jin would not regret supporting the army, so he decided to take the opportunity to push it forward.

"Feng Yijun is one of the three auxiliaries, and his status is far beyond that of ordinary states and counties, if the saint is not at ease, why not send another capable person to be the Taishou as the prison army, and clamp the left and right. In this way, it not only drove it out of Chang'an, but also made it difficult for it to make any changes, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!"

Unexpectedly, Li Longji pushed a silk letter on the desk to Yang Guozhong.

"Look at yourself!"

The chamberlain handed the silk book to Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong only read three or two lines before he lost his voice and said: "What, Qin Jin has gone out since Qing?"
