Chapter 798: The General Trend (Twenty-Five)
Don't look at the people who are close to the East Palace, and they are all people in the Kansai world, but Wei Ting and Wang Qi have no deep friendship.
He felt very uncomfortable being with Wang Jue, just like now, only the two of them were here, and they were both the prince's henchmen, but Wang Jue still abided by etiquette and had no intention of being close.
Even if Wei Ting's etiquette is very thoughtful, people can't find faults, but according to Wei Ting's temperament, he should never use these in private meetings with colleagues.
So, in other words, he doesn't like Wang Jue.
Wang Jue didn't know that Wei Jiazi was slandering him for being too stubborn, and he didn't know how to be flexible, so he slowly took a few sips of tea, which was considered to give Wei Ting a face, after all, he didn't come to drink tea.
Wei Ting looked at him very awkwardly, but on the contrary, he admired Wei Ting very much.
First, it is Wei Ting's family background, they are all Han people, he feels naturally very close, and secondly, there are many people who assist the prince, and there are only a few people such as Li Gang and Wei Ting.
Such as Lu Chengda, Sang Xianhe, Dugu Zhi and others, they can't get into Wang Qi's eyes, no way, this person has read too much, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all know, and the relationship is Gao Shi Xianda, and most of the Kansai people are incompatible, but similar to the southerners, which is also an outlier among the Kansai people.
Wang Qi's voice is peaceful, unhurried? "You're here? Just told Yu Wei Hussar that Chang'an had fallen into the hands of the enemy? The emperor drank poisoned wine and died? The body has been returned to the Li Clan Ancestral Hall......"
Wei Ting was shocked, and then he was full of suspicion? What is the surname Wang trying to do? Such a thought flashed in his head, but he said on his lips? "Really? Wang Zhongyun...... Which one says this? Rumors in the Kannai? Wang Zhongyun is not going to be deceived by others. ”
Wang Jue's face was normal, just a little distracted to look at the rising smoke of the tea soup, obviously he was not as calm as he appeared.
"Someone in the old man's family has already voted for the king of Han, and he specially brought a letter to say that he knows me? Shouldn't it be bad? Wechsler ...... It seems that Wei Hussar has not yet been believed, but it is fast to think about it, after all, Webster Fei [58 fo] is idle. ”
In fact, Wei Ting quickly accepted this fact, after all, Tongguan has been besieged for many days, but there has been no movement on the Chang'an side? All this shows that Chang'an is already in danger......
But what made him suspicious? This news will be told to him by Wang Qi, so he has to think about it? Is it only to know yourself, or is it ...... In fact, he only had one question? That's what the hell is this man trying to do?
Because there really isn't that friendship on weekdays that can make the two of them suffer together? It's tough, isn't it? Or did the prince want to test him?
Thinking of this, the cold hairs on Wei Ting's back stood up, if this is the case, there is no need for the enemy to attack, everyone washes their necks and waits for someone to cut off...... At this juncture, you still come to test people's hearts, how stupid can you do it?
Wei Ting's heart was frightened, and he was silent for a long time, thinking about what to drink poisonous wine and die, and return to the Li family's ancestral hall or something like that, suddenly he suddenly had a sudden look, he looked at Wang Qi in surprise, and looked at the other party a few times as if he didn't know each other, before he spoke: "Does the prince know about this?" If you don't know...... What is Wang Zhongyun's plan to do? ”
Wang Jue moved his body slightly, but his sitting posture did not change, and he raised his head to look directly at the other party, "The prince has ordered Lu Chengda to strictly guard the door, and anyone who approaches the former without reason will be killed."
In addition, Henan's surrender was unstable, and the prince ordered Sang Xian to summon Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and others to discuss matters, and wanted to kill him......"
That's impossible...... Wei Ting slapped the table, as the head of the left guard, and the commander of the prince's guard, how could he not know any of these things?
If that's true...... Wei Ting's heart twitched, "Could it be that the prince wants to kill me?" ”
These words almost blurted out, the truth is simply not too simple, such a big matter, he, a close minister of the prince, has not received any news, that can only prove that he has completely lost the trust of the prince, what is the result of losing trust at such a time, Wei Ting is very clear.
Why is this happening, Wei Ting doesn't understand, the enemy is current, the prince wants to kill those Henan generals, but he Wei Ting ...... I'm very wronged.
Wang Jue looked at Wei Ting with dissatisfaction, every time there is a big event, you must have calm, you can embarrass Wei Sikong (Wei Xiaokuan was once named Da Sikong).
"Lu Chengda secretly reported to the prince, saying that we were burdened by our family background and wanted to sacrifice the pass in order to seek wealth and prosperity...... The prince believed Lu Chengda's slander...... As for our lives, it is only in the minds of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Lu Chengda? Lu Chengda is the left leader of the East Palace, and Wei Ting is a close minister of the East Palace, power, it's hard to say, just say that the last time he led the troops out of the customs, it was Wei Ting who took the lead, obviously Wei Ting was more appreciated by the prince.
Lu Chengda was born in the Shu clan, and it is not easy to get to where he is today, there are more than ten people in the family who died in the battle array, and he made a feud with Zhang Shigui because someone in the family died in the battle with Zhang Shigui.
Therefore, Lu Chengda is at the bottom of the East Palace, although he is trusted by Li Jiancheng, he is incompatible with other officials in the East Palace, and is disliked by everyone, but because of this, there is no need to doubt his loyalty to Li Jiancheng.
It's just this kind of one-sided statement, if it weren't for the person who spoke was Wang Qi, otherwise Wei Ting would have called someone in early and took him down and sent him to the prince for disposal.
"Woe is only tonight...... General Sang did not want to kill his comrades, so he told me to prepare early, and if the first people were still hesitant, we would probably become ghosts under the sword tonight. ”
Tonight? Wei Ting's heart twitched again, he is not a weak person, he knows the horror of night battles best, making trouble at night, not to mention those who are unprepared, even if they are prepared, they are very easy to be taken advantage of by others.
After the shock, Wei Ting finally regained some of his military nature, "Where is General Sang now?" Can you talk to them? If you don't believe in Zhongyun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats us very kindly, if you believe people's words, but you mistake the prince...... I don't do it. ”
Wang Qi was unmoved, and only said: "The matter started in a hurry, General Sang warned first, just waiting for us to make up our minds, but it is not good to meet, and although I am a subordinate of the East Palace, I am not a person to be killed."
Now to discuss with you, in addition to the feelings of colleagues, it is only for you to serve in the inner weft, and many subordinates, if you don't believe my words, there is no other way...... There is one more person to accompany you on Huangquan Road, but it is not bad. ”
Wei Ting finally burst into foul language in his heart, the fucking ghost is willing to go with you on Huangquan Road, "Since you ...... In this way, Wei Ting believed it, what did Wang Zhongyun command, just come to it. ”
Wang Jue finally hooked the corners of his mouth, "The general doesn't have to be so embarrassed, tonight the general only needs to firmly restrain his subordinates and watch from the wall, and tomorrow the day will be clear." ”
These words naturally could not satisfy Wei Ting, and under questioning, Wang Qi only whispered a few words, and Wei Ting suddenly felt that when he sent Wang Qi out, looking at Wang Jue's back, Wei Ting felt a slight chill.
Regardless of whether what Wang Qi said is true or not, in fact, he is not ready to verify anything, Tongguan has undoubtedly died, even if there are no other changes, he should be a prisoner of the stairs on another day.
In this case, it is better to descend late than early, since Wang Jue takes the lead, then he can follow, and it doesn't take much effort, just the prince......
Thinking of this, Wei Ting was a little unbearable, but in fact, he was more guilty...... He was friendly with Li Jiancheng when he was a teenager, and after so many years, he has never contradicted him, but now he wants to abandon him, and he should really feel guilty.
In fact, what made him make up his mind was Wang Qi's determined attitude, and Sang Xianhe, Dugu Zhi and others seemed to have reached an agreement with him, so if he Wei Ting didn't agree, it was estimated that these people would be able to take his life first without waiting for Lu Chengda to kill him.
Wei Ting didn't go back, looked up at the gloomy sky, and sighed secretly, I'm afraid that the wind and rain are coming tonight, and then he threw away these boring sighs.
He has a lot of things to do, but he can't care about the sadness of the spring and autumn, if he doesn't work hard, he may not be able to save his life tonight.
………………………………
Conspiracy always happens in the dark night, Tongguan is almost a copy of another Chang'an affair, and at the critical moment, Li Jiancheng did not be able to control the situation.
Everyone involved knows what is going on, and maybe only the person who planned the conspiracy can observe the whole picture, right?
As for whether the crown prince Li Jiancheng wants to kill all the henchmen around him? No one knows where this rumor came from, or even if it is true, but if you think about Li Jiancheng's personality, it should not be like this.
But many people are conclusive, and no one can believe it.
………………………………
This night, there were murderous voices in Tongguan.
First of all, the Henan generals were restless, and they killed the people who supervised the army, and they all killed the Chinese army of the prince Li Jiancheng.
Things went smoothly unexpectedly, all the units of the Tang Army seemed to go to guard and close the door, and they didn't encounter many obstacles along the way, only most of Lu Cheng hurriedly came to help, and they were killed with the Henan generals.
Waiting for Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and the others to break through Lu Chengda's obstruction, they didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly rushed into the mansion of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, to their surprise and horror, Li Jiancheng had already been dead for a long time.
These guys were confused, dizzy, went up and cut off Li Jiancheng's head with a knife, and then hurriedly retreated, which was completely different from what they imagined.
Qin Qiong regretted it even more, he shouldn't have listened to Cheng Dabeard's words to take Li Jiancheng's head, it was really against the rules he had acted for many years.
But it was too late for him to regret it, and countless torches were lit up when they rushed into Li Jiancheng's mansion, and the Tang soldiers of the brigade under the leadership of the general launched an attack on the rebellious Henan descendants.
The sound of those who surrendered to avoid death resounded inside and outside Tongguan, and the people of Henan were attacked by this raid, and a large number of people knelt down to ask for surrender under the panic, and some people fled in all directions, and were already prepared for the encirclement and annihilation of the Tang army.
The blood of the people of Henan flowed again, and as many times before, they did not know why they were bleeding, nor did they know why they were bleeding.
