Chapter 982: Right in the Middle
Yan Si didn't expect that the place where Gongsun Changming summoned him was actually at home.
This is somewhat flattering.
Gongsun Changming has a special position in the internal guards, although he does not hold any position in the internal guards, he can directly command and command any level of internal security personnel.
Some people even say that Gongsun Changming is the real commander of the internal guard.
Madam Gongsun, who was sturdy and had a particularly big buttocks, served the last dish and a pot of warm wine, gently closed the door and exited the room, Yan Si was still a little scared.
"How does it feel to be back this time?"
"It's very different from what it used to be!" Yan Si told the truth: "I just feel that my spirit has gone to the next level." ”
"What do you think is the reason?"
"Since the humiliation, firstly, because of the fall of Zhang Zhongwu in Liaodong, the last threat to the north has been completely swept away, and secondly, it is probably because Li Xiang's good deeds are approaching!" Yan Si said with a smile.
Gongsun Changming laughed: "That's right, come, let's have a drink for the prosperity of Wuyi." ”
With a "ding" sound, the cups in the hands of the two touched lightly and drank them all.
"Speaking of which, the two of us can really watch how Wuyi has changed from a small county town to the largest city in the north today, and has become the political, cultural and economic center of the entire Tang Dynasty." Gongsun Changming said with emotion: "Do you still remember what Wuyi looked like back then? ”
"And some images!" Yan Si nodded and said, "It seems that there is only one straight street, and it won't take half an hour to go from beginning to end." ”
"Now that you are riding a horse, it is rare to run Wuyi in one day!" Gongsun Changming sandwiched a black thing in front of Yan Si: "Come and taste it, this is a really good thing, sent back from Liaodong." ”
"What's this?" Looking at this thing that didn't look amazing, Yan Si was a little puzzled.
"Truffle!" Gongsun Changming said: "Have you heard of it?" Ordinary people would never afford to eat this thing, but in fact, it was me, and if someone hadn't given it to me and asked me to buy it myself, I would never have bought it. ”
Yan Si was a little uneasy.
The people who do their job are extremely sharp-minded.
Eating this precious ingredient carefully, he didn't ask much. What he should know, Gongsun Changming will always let him know, what he shouldn't know, don't even think about it, let alone ask.
"So, where has Xiang Lan already decided to take action?" Slowly tasting the wine, Gongsun Changming asked.
"Yes!" Putting down the chopsticks, Yan Si said: "Xiang Qi wants 50,000 silver dollars this time, on the condition that he hand over the deployment status of all their people in Zhenzhou." ”
"Do you think you should pay for it?" Gongsun Changming asked with a smile.
"We are clear about most of Xiang's arrangements. But such a thing, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, so he thinks that from the perspective of Li Xiang's safety, the 50,000 silver dollars should be paid, not to mention, if we want to get it back in the future, it is not a difficult matter! Yan Si smiled.
Gongsun Changming smiled: "If you give it, you give it, and I don't care about this little money." You're right, pay a little more, maybe you can be more sure. ”
"The internal guards of Zhenzhou can't come up with so much money!"
"Don't worry, the headquarters will allocate it to you next." Gongsun Changming said.
"Besides, Jiang Guo left Zhenzhou at this juncture, which is unusual! The subordinates privately believed that they should have other plans besides assassinating Li Xiang. "Yan Sidao." And these two lines do not seem to be intertwined, at least Xiang Qi is completely unclear about this situation. ”
Gongsun Changming took a piece of pig ear, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Jiang Guo disguised himself and ran to Wuyi, he was indeed planning another thing. They're going to get the little emperor away! ”
Yan Si was taken aback: "How can this be?" ”
"Of course you can!" Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "It's right in our arms." ”
Yan Si stared at Gongsun Changming for a long time before he said, "Sir, please forgive me for being ignorant and ignorant of my ignorance, and I can't figure out the joints here." ”
Gongsun Changming said: "What we already know now is that Xiang Lan is trying to murder the old emperor and let the old emperor's death seduce Li Xiang to return to Wuyi and return to Zhenzhou, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"At that time, there will inevitably be a major event in Zhenzhou that will shock the world." Gongsun Changming said: "The old emperor is dead, we need to give people an explanation!" Otherwise, how could he not die sooner or later, and die at this time? How can we get rid of this matter that Li Xiang did it? ”
"It wasn't Li Xiang who did it in the first place!" Yan Sidao.
"That's your opinion, and people in the world don't necessarily think the same way!" Gongsun Changming said: "Even in the Northland, those people who wholeheartedly support Li Xiang, if they think that Li Xiang did these things, even if they don't say it, they don't necessarily have no ideas in their hearts. Therefore, we must do things more perfectly, and we must spare no effort to fight for things like this to win the hearts of the people, so that people all over the world think that if Li Xiang does not become the emperor, it is simply intolerable. ”
"What does this have to do with letting the little emperor go?" Yan Si still hadn't figured it out.
"The old emperor died, Li Xiang suffered a well-planned assassination, but the little emperor ran away and ran to the south to put up a flag to go to Luo!" A cold light flashed in Gongsun Changming's eyes: "Think about it, isn't it easy to make a big article here?" ”
Yan Si's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized after a while, "I understand." We can tell the world that in order to assassinate Li Xiang, the little emperor did not hesitate to collude with Xiang Lanxiang and murdered his biological father. It's just that in the end, Lee Sang-bok had a big life and got away with this assassination. ”
Gongsun Changming said: "That's it. So a year ago, when Xiang Lan was clamoring for the right to guard the palace, we pretended to be reluctant and had to hand it over to her, and at the same time, we transferred a series of key people such as Li Mi to prepare for this matter. ”
"It turns out that the transfer of Li Shaoqing and others is also to pave the way for this matter!" Yan Si said with emotion: "I remember that my subordinates also went to the paperwork at that time to oppose this matter, but now it seems that I am really shallow." ”
"It's not that you're shallow, it's that you're in your position, and that's all you can know at the time!" Gongsun Changming said with a smile. "Now you should understand that a little emperor who is alive and ran away is more suitable for us. If he doesn't run away and stays in Wuyi, we really don't know what to do with him? Scrapped or killed? It's not appropriate! It is also a little difficult to plant the death of the old emperor on his head! Isn't it all solved when he runs! ”
Yan Si nodded again and again: "Mr. Gongsun, but if the little emperor runs to the south, the south will have a banner, the southern forces are not small now, they are entangled together, and the trouble is also very big!" ”
"Compared to completely stinking the reputation of the little emperor, these troubles are not troubles!" Gongsun Changming said: "Do you think that in terms of force, the south can really compete with us?" Back then, we worked hard to get the emperor from Chang'an to Wuyi, and now their task is completely over, but it is easy to send the god to the gods, and it is just this opportunity to send this plague god away cleanly. Completely clear the last obstacle to Lee Sang's ascension to the throne. Hehe, how much appeal and influence can a little emperor who plotted to kill the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and assassinate the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty have? Even if there is, it can only be used by those who have ulterior motives, and these people are what we want to eliminate anyway. What we need is the hearts of those at the lowest level. ”
"Humble duty understood." Yan Si nodded.
"Do you know why I'm going to treat you to this meal at home today?" Gongsun Changming poured a glass of wine for Yan Si and looked at him with a smile.
Yan Si's heart sank.
"You've been involved in this from start to finish, and you're one of the few people in the inner guard who knows the truth. You must know that although there are many people involved in this matter, there are few who really know the inside story. Gongsun Changming said.
Yan Si's face suddenly turned pale, his hands trembled a little, and it took a long time before he picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all.
"Humble duty understood. After this incident, there was no more lowly office. Li Xiang was assassinated in Zhenzhou, and I was added as the commander of the internal security in Zhenzhou, so naturally I bear the greatest responsibility for this, and even if I am sent to the execution ground, I will not say a word about my humble position. Yan Si said angrily.
Gongsun Changming looked at the other party for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, you are really loyal to Li Xiang." ”
"Please only ask the court to be kind to my wife and children!" Yan Si lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.
"You're thinking too much!" Gongsun Changming poured another glass of wine for him, and said, "If I really kill someone like you, Li Xiang will have to clean me up when I turn back." Don't worry, Yan Si has to be held accountable for this, and he will be executed for some, because he has to do a full set of plays, and he can't make people sick. But you won't die. Congratulations! ”
Yan Si is inexplicable, how can you congratulate him?
"Yan Si is dead, but Li Si will be reborn." Gongsun Changming said.
"Li Si?" Yan Si's body trembled, and he was given the surname Li, which was the ultimate goal of everyone in the secret camp, but so far, few people have achieved this goal.
Yourself, that's it?
"After this incident, you, Li Si, will be transferred to Yingzhou and serve as the internal security commander of Yingzhou!" Gongsun Changming said: "Liaodong Xinfu, because of the special situation there, bandits must be the most serious problem next, and we need an experienced person to go where to coordinate and command." But from the rich Zhenzhou to the bitter cold Yingzhou, are you willing? ”
"Willing to do it!" Yan Si said. When I learned that I would be given the surname Li, I was excited for a while, not to mention going to Yingzhou, but what about going to Goryeo?
"Let's go back and make arrangements, let the family and children go over first." Gongsun Changming said with a smile.
