"Moreover, the second prince came before and told me some things, I think he shouldn't lie to me, if the third prince is still so unkind, then it is really better to depose him directly and let the second prince take the throne."

The general sighed deeply as he spoke, as if this matter made him feel a headache, and he didn't know what to do, and his heart was very entangled.

Nan Xun asked, "Has the second prince been here!?" Dare to ask the general, what did he say!? ”

The general said: "Some secret things, it's inconvenient to talk about them to the outside world!?" ”

After all, the general still has some feelings for Mingzong, and he doesn't want to say these things, so that after Mingzong's death, there will be all kinds of negative news about the palace, so he doesn't plan to say these things.

Nan Xun smiled and said: "It's Mingzong's matter, the second prince also looked for me before, gave me a jade lock, let me see the things on it, I think a lot of the things he told you were told by me!" ”

"What did you tell him!?"

"Yes!" Nan Xun didn't intend to deceive the general, nodded and said, "Yes, the second prince brought a jade lock to my store a few days ago, saying that the emperor had been carrying it before, let me see if I can see something." ”

"Yes," said the general, "you can see what the treasure has gone through, tell me what you saw!?" ”

Nan Xun said: "I saw that His Majesty Mingzong was indeed poisoned by the third prince. ”

"But at that time, the imperial doctor checked many times, and did not find that Mingzong had symptoms of poisoning, how can it be said that he was poisoned, could it be that you are mistaken!?"

"No, he used the kind of poison that didn't leave a trace, so no matter how powerful the imperial doctors were at that time, they couldn't see that Mingzong was poisoned and assassinated."

"Hmm." The general nodded, "That's what the second prince told me when he came. ”

"Huh!?" Nan Xun was very curious, she remembered that she didn't tell the second prince how Mingzong was poisoned, why did the second prince know about it, it seems that this second prince is not simple, "How does the second prince know that this kind of poison that doesn't leave a trace, I don't seem to have told him!" ”

"The second prince said that Shitong secretly checked it out, and Shitong took out a little of the poisonous food that he brought out from Mingzong's dormitory before and fed it to the dog, and died immediately after eating it, but he couldn't see any traces of poisoning, so the second prince will take the jade lock to find you, and want you to confirm whether it was really the third prince who killed Mingzong."

"Oh, no wonder the second prince didn't ask anything at the time, he only asked his third brother, whether he was benevolent or not, whether he could make the world stable, it turned out that he had known it a long time ago."

"That's what the second prince told me, anyway, now Mingzong has indeed been killed, and he also knows that in order to compete for this imperial power, there have always been people who have resorted to all kinds of means, and said that the people of Taizong have all changed in Xuanwumen, so an emperor with great talent has such means, and he can't blame his second brother too much now, since it has come to this time, what he wants to know most is the character of his third brother, whether he can be an emperor!"

Nan Xun smiled and said, "At present, it seems that it is not suitable!" ”

"Yes, he said that you should watch the jade lock, the point is actually to let you review what his third brother does on weekdays, and see what his character is, but you sue him for being unkind, and it can't be the world's long-term peace, so that the second prince found me here and discussed countermeasures with me!"

"The general's current countermeasure is, let's see, will the emperor issue that decree very much!?"

"Yes, if the tax increase decree is really promulgated, I can only take out the secret decree left by Mingzong before his death, depose him from the throne, and let the second prince inherit it!"

Nan Xun smiled and said, "Mingzong is really a saint!" ”

She felt that Mingzong probably had long suspected the three princes, or rather, it was the three princes who had always been modest and polite that led to Mingzong's suspicions, after all, it was said that no one is perfect, and everyone has their own shortcomings.

Then, this person must be disguised, not to mention, Mingzong is a suspicious person, for Mingzong, although he does not dare to conclude that the three princes are pretending, he will definitely be suspicious, so he is so uneasy, even after his death, he also left a secret decree, so that the general can control the three princes at any time, so that he will not cause trouble.

"That's natural, Mingzong's strategy, but not what we can understand, he said, if the three princes are still modest and polite after succeeding to the throne, it is simply the royal gospel, I'm afraid, after the three princes succeeded to the throne, they became tyrannical and cruel, only trying to enjoy themselves, ignoring the world."

"Then why, why did Mingzong give up the throne to the third prince!?"

The general said: "Since Mingzong has passed away, then I will tell you the matter as it is, originally, Mingzong is the most important or the eldest prince, otherwise he would not have bothered so much to cultivate him, but what he didn't expect was that after the defeat of the eldest prince, he would commit suicide, which he couldn't calculate, originally, Mingzong said that this rebellion should be regarded as training for the eldest prince, exercising his strategy, if the eldest prince really defeated Luoyang, then after he entered Luoyang, Even if Mingzong was killed by him, he was at ease, because this showed that the strategy and wisdom of the eldest prince were enough to govern the world. ”

"What if it doesn't work out!?"

"It didn't work," the general smiled and said, "If it doesn't work out, Mingzong will not kill the eldest prince, but will lock him up, and then slowly tell him the truth of the matter, let him learn a lesson from it, and then, will give him a chance to exempt him from the crime of rebellion, and then establish himself as the crown prince, and he can inherit the throne after Mingzong's death!" ”

"It turns out that Mingzong has already counted all the qiē!" Nan Xun smiled helplessly, "It's a pity, people are not as good as heaven, I guess no one would have thought that the eldest prince would kill himself directly in front of Dingding!" ”

"Yes, it can be said that Mingzong is really bent on letting the eldest prince inherit the throne, but I didn't expect that if something like this happened, there were only the second prince and the third prince left, Mingzong also talked to the second prince about this matter, the second prince seemed to tell Mingzong that he had no intention of inheriting the throne, and he was not Mingzong's biological child, after inheriting the throne, I am afraid that many ministers would be dissatisfied, so Mingzong had no choice but to give up the throne to the third prince."

"But I didn't expect that the third prince was just a hypocrite." Nan Xun probably knew the situation in Luoyang in the future at this time, and he no longer knew anything, "The general and the second prince should have planned it, right?!" ”

"Yes!" The general said, "The second prince has already left for the northeast to rectify military affairs and recuperate, so that he can lead his troops south and come to Luoyang City at any time." ”

"What about you!?"

"Me? I was in Luoyang City, controlling the situation in the city, lest the three princes go crazy and poison the people, and then open the Dingding Gate to welcome the army of the second prince. ”

"Are you really going to rebel!?" Shuang'er listened to it for a long time before she said such a sentence.

The general smiled and said, "It's not a rebellion, it's just acting on the will of Mingzong." ”

Indeed, no matter from that point of view, the general's behavior can be regarded as a rebellion, he has the secret decree of Mingzong, and he can depose the three princes at any time, and Nan Xun believes that the general will not tell lies, since he said that it is the will of Mingzong, then there must really be such a will.

In fact, even if there is no will, the general can unite with other people at any time to abolish the third prince, the hypocritical emperor, but in that case, it will be a little troublesome.

Nan Xun said helplessly: "In other words, if the tax increase decree is promulgated, then Luoyang City will definitely experience a coup d'état in the next thirty months!?" ”

"Yes!" The general nodded and said, "It's just that this time it shouldn't be like the eldest prince, it should end soon, after all, what the third prince did is really chilling, and if it goes on like this, I don't know what this great river and mountain will be ruined by him." ”

Nan Xun nodded immediately, thinking to himself, if you really win the hearts of the people, you can win the world.

While a few people were talking, they heard the butler come in and say, "The prime minister is here, please come over and take a look." ”

"Li Qingyu!?" The general frowned and said, "Let's just say that I'm not in good health today, and it's inconvenient to meet guests, so let him go back." ”

The general just had a quarrel with Li Qingyu in the court, and now Li Qingyu came to visit, this is obviously looking for a closed-door soup to eat, why would the general not see him at this time, this Li Qingyu didn't know if he was a fool, but he picked this time.

But as soon as the general finished speaking, he heard Li Qingyu's voice at the door: "If you don't want to see it, you don't want to see it, the general doesn't say anything about poor health, come and curse yourself, we still have to rely on you to guard Luoyang and protect my main key mountain forever!" ”

"What are you doing here?" Shuang'er has never had a good impression of Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu smiled and said: "I haven't come to visit the general since I took office, and this time I came here to pay a courtesy visit and see the general!" ”

"You and I don't have anything to say, please!" The general didn't get up from the chair as he spoke, and made a gesture of please directly to the door, meaning to let Li Qingyu leave by himself.

Li Qingyu was not angry, and said: "Although we have many disagreements in terms of political opinions, this should not affect the relationship between us, after all, I haven't done anything to be sorry for the General's Mansion!" ”

The general then said: "The so-called, the Tao is not the same, since you and I have political disagreements, then there is not much need to talk to each other, please go back!" ”

Li Qingyu nodded silently, and then said: "The emperor plans to let the general return to the power of the army, I don't know what the general wants!?" ”

It turns out that this is the purpose of Li Qingyu's coming, I don't know if he wants the general to regain control of the army, or if he doesn't want the general to hold heavy troops, after all, it seems that he and the general are a little at odds with each other, if the general's power continues to expand, I am afraid it will endanger his position as prime minister.

"Since that's the case, why didn't the emperor tell me personally, why did he let you come!?" The general's face was full of disbelief, thinking that this Li Qingyu was talking nonsense.

Li Qingyu said: "Because I built the emperor to do this, the emperor agreed, so let me negotiate with the general to see if the general can regain military power, after all, the prestige of the general is very high, and the emperor doesn't want to directly order the general to do things he doesn't like." ”

At this time, not only the general, but even Nan Xun didn't understand what kind of trick Li Qingyu was playing, first quarreled with the general in the court, and then turned his head and let the general regain control of the army.

Is this currying favor with the general, there is this possibility, after all, you should know that the general's favorite thing in his life is to lead the troops, and at this time, letting the general lead the troops again will indeed make the general feel happy.

Then, Nan Xun believed that the general was not a person who did not distinguish between right and wrong, how could the general not see that this Li Qingyu was probably uneasy about his good intentions.

The general said: "I can't agree to this matter, but I won't object, as for my military power, if the emperor is willing to give it to me, I will continue, I am not willing to give it to me, and I can enjoy it in the house with peace of mind, and it is also a very good thing." ”

Li Qingyu said: "Okay, the general's words, I will sue the emperor, as for the issue of military power, I still hope that the general can be in charge, of course, I will try my best to help the general fight, although we do not agree on politics, but in who can be in the world with martial arts, I firmly believe that except for the general, no one can do it." Therefore, only the general leading the troops can guarantee the country's social security. ”

The general smiled: "It's serious! ”

"No, I'm telling the truth, I'm done, I'm leaving." After speaking, Li Qingyu really turned around and left, without giving the general a chance to say anything.

Watching Li Qingyu leave, Nan Xun said: "He is here, just to sue General Sù, he will recommend you to reappear in charge of the army!?" ”

"Looks like that!?"

"What do you mean, it seems to be a gesture of goodwill!?"

"Probably not," the general said with a frown, "no matter what, I'm still a courtier, if the emperor orders me to lead the troops, I can't shirk it, of course, I don't think he will do that!" ”

"Why!?" Nan Xun was curious, not knowing why the general was so sure.

The general thought for a while and said: "Because, I have a very little relationship with the emperor, and I am very opposed to many of his decrees, such as building the imperial mausoleum, such as increasing the palace gardens, and recruiting concubines, I am strongly not opposed!" ”

"What about Li Qingyu, does he have any opinion on these decrees?!" (To be continued.) )
