Chapter 64: The Siege of the Prince's Mansion
When Li Longji heard this short sentence, his heart couldn't help beating.
For a moment, he didn't consider the truth of these words, but felt an inexplicable fear.
He got to this point by virtue of a coup d'Γ©tat, otherwise with his embarrassing position, it would not have been possible to ascend to the throne.
Tang Long coup d'Γ©tat, he supported his father to ascend to the throne, and became the crown prince under the righteous resignation of Li Xian, the king of Ning.
In the congenital coup d'Γ©tat, he cleared the huge and terrible power of Princess Taiping, forced his father to hand over real power, and thus made him who he is today.
Therefore, Li Longji is more taboo in his heart than anyone else about this issue, the mother of the country, the crown prince, and the border marshal, if they really want to gather, it will be a huge disaster.
It's just that in an instant, Li Longji calmed down, he was full of experience in this area, and he didn't mess up, and the poem that made him throb at the beginning came to his mind.
The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.
The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple.
Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent.
repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king.
Thinking of Pei Min, who was young and frivolous, his high-spirited appearance, and his contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years, Tie Qing said with a blushing face: "Cui Di, do you know what you mean by this?" Everyone is responsible for every word, every word they say. β
Cui Cheng heard Li Longji call him "Cui Di", and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Cui Di is his original name, and he is in the same vein as his brother Cui Xiang.
Cui Xiang is the confidant of Princess Taiping and died for Li Longji.
Li Longji specially changed Cui Di's "poly" to "Cheng", which means the precipitation of impurities and the clear water, which is a great grace.
Now Li Longji directly called his original name, which shows that he is angry to the extreme.
Cui Cheng said solemnly: "Such a big matter, the minister doesn't dare to hide anything...... This is a letter intercepted by Qinglong. As he spoke, he took out the cloth secret letter and held it high above his head.
Colliers wanted to go up and get it.
Li Longji had already taken the cloth in his hand first, spread it out and looked at it carefully, and the cloth clearly stated that once a major event was accomplished, Pei Min would be crowned the king of the county, whether to enter the dynasty as the prime minister, or the border of Yongzhen, he would choose.
With both hands clenched, the left and right of the cloth had already made him grasp and twist together, and said in a deep voice: "This cloth is true, and it can only represent that the prince is trying to win over Pei Guogong, not that the prince and the prince are plotting, let alone pulling the queen." β
"Your Majesty!" Cui Cheng said sincerely: "The minister knows that His Majesty values Pei Guogong and does not want to believe all this. At the beginning, like you, the minister always thought that the righteousness of the country was a genius pillar of our dynasty given by God. But knowing the face of the person does not know the heart...... Your Majesty, do you think that if Pei Guogong was not related to the Queen Wang, why would he let the Qingyu Alliance rob the Enlightenment Demon Monk? β
Li Longji paused, frowned, and said, "Are you sure it was the Qingyu League?" β
Cui Cheng said: "Nine times out of ten! And if you still don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can immediately send troops to the Guogong Mansion. The thieves have already acted, just before that, they gathered in Pei Mansion, along with the witch master of Xiangxi Miao Village. Your Majesty can immediately send people to surround the Guogong Mansion, and you will definitely be able to get all the stolen goods. β
Sorcerer!
Li Longji saw that Cui Cheng was doing everything like this, and no matter how much he believed in Pei Min's heart, his confidence could not help but waver.
What's more, any emperor is the product of suspicion.
"Your Majesty!"
Cui Hong, who had not spoken on the side, said: "Qinglong has been in the dark, watching the stability of the temple for His Majesty. also discovered the enlightened demon monk, step by step, peeling off the cocoon, and then discovered this big conspiracy. Now my father has found out about the Qingyu League, and he has already scared the snakes, forcing them to see the dagger. If you don't act, it's too late! Please make a quick decision, the grass people can guarantee that all the circumstances are true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. β
Li Longji glanced at Cui Hong and frowned.
Cui Cheng immediately said: "Your Majesty forgives me, this is the dog Cui Hong." Qinglong is secretive, and the minister does not dare to trust others, so he specially invites dogs to help. This conspiracy was discovered by the dogs......"
Li Longji took a deep breath, looked at it cautiously and solemnly: "Today's matter, if there is any accident, you must bear all the responsibility." β
As he spoke, he said to Gao Lishi: "Order Wang Mao Zhong and Chen Xuanli to immediately mobilize the forbidden army to surround Pei ......" He said as he spoke, and immediately changed his words: "Order Wang Mao Zhong and Chen Xuanli to lead 500 soldiers each, and follow me to Pei Guogong's mansion, and I will personally go to find out!" As he spoke, he suddenly recited Pei Min's unparalleled swordsmanship and the heroic deeds of the Uighur king's tent alone in the hundreds of thousands of Uighur military and civilian centers, and added, "Call Yang Siqiao and ask him to gather twenty or fifty ...... A hundred good hands, go together. β
Colliers solemnly took the order.
Yang Siqiao is also a eunuch, but this eunuch is different. He is burly, powerful, and invincible. As early as in the past, he was meritorious in the crusade against the rebel general Li Duozuo, and later the leader of Annan, Mei Xuancheng, rebelled and called himself the "Black Emperor". Conspired with Linyi and Zhenla to capture Annan Province.
Yang Siqiao led 100,000 troops, took the old way of the Eastern Han Dynasty general Fubo Ma Yuan, took it by surprise, and personally beheaded the thief to quell the rebellion in the south.
Compared with Wang Maozhong's incompetence and Chen Xuanli's moderation, Yang Siqiao is Li Longji's truly important general in Chang'an.
Cui Cheng's face changed slightly, and he persuaded: "The traitor's methods are monstrous, Your Majesty must not take risks." β
Li Longji blushed and shouted: "The national government has a credit to the society, before the matter is clear, Cui Qing said carefully. I'm going to find out more about this matter myself......"
Not long after, Wang Maozhong, Chen Xuanli, Yang Simiao, and soldiers and horses gathered one after another.
Li Longji didn't pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and rode directly on his dragon horse, and slaughtered Pei Min's Guogong Mansion in a mighty manner.
Cui Cheng and Cui Hong naturally followed left and right.
Cui Cheng saw that Li Longji was half-convinced, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Cui Hong was proud of the spring breeze, as long as Li Longji arrived at Pei's Mansion and found the old woman from Pei's Mansion and the evidence he had hidden in advance, Pei Min would be speechless.
The palace is not far from Pei's mansion, only a distance from the city.
Soon Li Longji's army arrived near Pei's mansion.
Wang Maozhong and Chen Xuanli emptied the street and surrounded Pei's mansion tightly.
As for Yang Siqiao, he naturally followed Li Longji closely.
Knowing that Li Longji was coming, Ning Ze, the steward of Pei Mansion, hurriedly came out to greet him.
thought that the previous prince was already the number one big man, but he didn't want to see Li Longji's true face today.
Ning Ze saluted with awe, and said, "Ning Ze, the steward of the Caomin Pei Mansion, has seen a saint!" β
Li Longji saw that Pei Min did not come out to greet him, his face showed a bit of warm anger, and the little remaining insistence in his heart was loosened.
Gao Lishi stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty is coming, why didn't the Duke of Guo come to greet him?" β
Ning Ze raised his head blankly and said, "Guogong went out early in the morning, and he was not in the mansion. β
Although Cui Hong didn't know why, he already had the chance to win, and said sharply: "You are lying!" β
