Chapter 101: The decision of Cheng Qian to conspire against the emperor
Let's say that Zhang Suling and Mo Ya have been discussing for a long time, and they can't come up with a reason, after all, without a backbone like Xu Zhen, many things are not easy to come to a conclusion, hesitate a little, after all, Zhang Suling went to Shuyi Hall to find Li Mingda.
This was a helpless move, and when those palace people saw Zhang Suling after pretending, they all thought that Xu Zhen had rushed back from Qizhou, and hurriedly opened the door of the palace and let Xu Zhen enter the Shuyi Palace.
Li Mingda has Caesar's personal guard, but he is also thoughtful, but he is worried about the affairs between his brothers all day long, and the little girl has matured a lot.
Hearing that Xu Zhen was visiting, Li Mingda was both surprised and stunned, and hurriedly dressed up and came out to meet him, seeing that this Xu Zhen did not have a wrench on his fingers, a strange feeling in his heart came up again, and he couldn't bear to ask: "You... It's really... Is it my brother of the Xu family? ”
Zhang Suling saw that Caesar was the only one left and right, and remembered Xu Zhen's entrustment that he could confess the truth to Li Mingda when necessary, and he couldn't bear to look directly at Li Mingda's resentment, so he calmly uncovered his face, revealing his original beautiful and lovely face, and explained ashamedly: "The slave is the substitute for the master..."
Li Mingda's mouth opened slightly, stunned in place, thinking that Brother Xu Zhen should quell the rebellion in Qizhou, how could he come back to meet? Thinking that Xu Zhen actually deceived her, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he scolded angrily: "Damn the big liar who was stabbed!" ”
As soon as these words came out, I remembered that Xu Zhen had to go to the battlefield to say that he had already gone to the battlefield, and his words were unlucky, so he covered his mouth again, and felt aggrieved by himself.
Zhang Suling didn't want to see Li Mingda's daughter, so she informed Li Mingda of all the instructions left by Xu Zhen before, and confided everything she and Mo Ya had learned from eavesdropping.
Li Mingda is also a girl who understands righteousness, knowing the priorities of the matter, first put aside the private relationship between men and women, and then began to worry about his brother's murderous deed, and suddenly he was at a loss.
Listening to Zhang Suling say that before Xu Zhen left, he had visited the Jin Palace, so he took Zhang Suling and Kaisa, along with the general attendants, and rushed to the Jin Palace.
After Li Zhi heard the details, he was also horrified, such a statement verified the inside story of the prince's imminent confession and rebellion, but everything was just words without evidence, if he sued the sage, the prince denied it, and the two sides were going to quarrel, and the sage would inevitably feel that he was suspected of taking the heir.
This Li Zhi is just a middle-of-the-road talent, without the determination of the crown prince Li Chengqian, he hesitated and didn't know what to do at the moment, but Zhang Suling reminded him in time, saying that many rebels and thieves wrote secret letters and handed them over to the East Palace.
As long as you find a suitable person, go to the East Palace, steal the secret letter, and sacrifice it to the saint, even if the prince has a mouth all over his body, he can't tell this fact!
Li Zhi suddenly realized, but his relationship with his brother is getting colder and colder, and he really can't find a suitable candidate to steal, although Li Mingda is friendly with himself, but he also relies on the prince's brother, and it is not good to be a person on both sides, so he only wants peace and security, and persuades the prince to give up rebellion.
Li Zhi was worried that if Li Mingda really tried to persuade him, Li Chengqian would definitely know that the matter was exposed, and with the prince's resolute heart, it might be unfavorable to Li Mingda, so he did not dare to let Li Mingda go to the East Palace.
After thinking about it, he was in a hurry, and went to the secret cabinet of the study and turned out a letter!
It was the secret letter that Xu Zhen handed over to him at the beginning, and it was a secret letter that was snatched by Xu Zhen and Zhang Jiunian when the old minister Li Gang secretly communicated with Shi Du Chuke, the governor of the Wei Palace!
This Li Gang doesn't like the prince as a person, but he is optimistic about the versatile Wei King Li Tai, and he has little contact with the incompetent Li Zhi, this time Li Zhi has a secret letter in his hand, and he doesn't believe that this Li Gang will not come, so he hurriedly sent his cronies to invite.
Li Gang listened to the confidant of the Jin Palace, and knew that Li Zhi had obtained the secret letter, so he was so frightened that the three souls were not seen and the seven spirits were lost, and he rushed to the Jin Palace.
Li Zhi doesn't talk nonsense with him, but he wants to give him a great fortune, although Li Gang is not pleasant, but he is also a person from the East Palace, as the teacher of the crown prince Li Chengqian, he can enter and leave the East Palace at will, and it is not difficult to steal the secret letter of the rebellion.
But Li Zhi also underestimated the contradiction between Li Chengqian and Li Gang, and now it is a critical moment, Li Chengqian is wary of any irrelevant people, especially Li Gang and other people who often supervise and report him, but Li Gang can't enter the East Palace!
However, he Li Gang is not an unscrupulous person, he has always been friendly with Yu Zhining, so he agreed to Li Zhi, recruited Yu Zhining, and let Yu Zhining enter the East Palace to steal the secret letter.
This Yu Zhining, like many assistants in the East Palace, was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian for a long time, and often reported many things about the prince's misconduct, and when he heard about such a major event, he was also shocked beyond measure, and without waiting for the five drums to sound, he entered the East Palace and sneaked into the prince's study to search.
The prince is not the kind of person who is not vigilant, he heard that Yu Zhining had entered the East Palace, and he urgently ordered someone to monitor it, and heard that Yu Zhining stole into his study, thinking that the secret letter was still in the secret pavilion, and hurriedly rushed over, but found that the secret letter had already been stolen by Yu Zhining, and he was furious like thunder, and ordered someone to chase and kill Yu Zhining!
Let's say that Li Gang responded to Yu Zhining outside the East Palace, and it took a long time to see Yu Zhining rushing out, the two fled hand in hand, and many East Palace guards chased them out, but caught up with the dawn, Li Chengqian's worries attracted attention, and he hurriedly withdrew the guards.
Once this secret letter is lost, it will not be far from the revelation of the conspiracy, Li Chengqian's heart is like ashes, but he is trying to fight desperately, gathering Hou Junji and others, many soldiers and horses gathered in the East Palace, and attracted hundreds of Turkic assassins, and he is about to storm the palace forbidden!
Besides, Zhang Suling entrusted the matter of stealing the secret letter to Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but according to Xu Zhen's instructions in advance, he came to the North Gate camp and met with Qi Bi He Li.
After seeing Zhang Suling, who was disguised, he thought that Xu Zhen had performed the technique of doppelganger again, and the immortal technique appeared from the distant Qizhou, and he was scared to sweat.
Zhang Suling didn't play tricks on this die-hard fierce general, and explained the actions of the East Palace, Qi Bi He Li knew the painstaking efforts of the Holy Lord, and every day he saw that the saints were sad and sad for these rebels, and he had already hated these rebellious ministers and thieves, and immediately ordered the Beiya Forbidden Army, and secretly guarded the palace ban, just waiting for the East Palace incident to happen!
From time to time, there was a foreign minister, Ashina Sheer, who was also a courtier who was loyal to His Majesty, and had some friendship with He Li, so he went to the East Palace to inquire about the situation, and saw that the East Palace was closed, and he wanted to go back to report, but he met the Sugan Chengji who came to the recruitment!
Ashina Sheer was kind to Rigan Chengji, so he lobbied, and this Wagan Chengji knew that the general situation was unprofitable, so he defected and poured out all the things that were treacherous, in order to redeem the merits.
After getting the truth, Ashina Sheer still let Ashina Chengji enter the East Palace, so as not to be suspicious of the prince, so he went to tell the information to Qibi He Li, who had already set up defenses, and hurriedly sent the information to the Taiji Palace.
At this time, Zhang Liang, Li Zhi and others were also waiting, and they all came to report the news!
Let's say that the trap has already been laid here, just waiting for Li Chengqian and Hou Junji to come and vote, but the crown prince Li Chengqian is gathering all the people and horses in the East Palace Mansion at this moment, making the bloody oath, so as not to make a blood alliance and other matters.
If you say that there is a fly in the ointment, it is that Hou Junji's son Hou Poyu and Duan Zhixuan's son Duan Zan are missing!
This section of Zhan can be regarded as a shadow, his father Duan Zhixuan couldn't stand the long-term depression, and finally passed away, he refused the invitation of the East Palace on the grounds of filial piety.
And this Hou Poyu realized that the East Palace was about to happen, and the seizure of power was imminent, but instead he brought dozens of slaves, wore disguises, and took advantage of Xu Zhen's absence in the mansion to burn this Shenyong Earl's Mansion to a clean place, in order to vent his hatred!
In his thoughts, today's East Palace is after all, his father and son can sit on the dragon and both ascend to the throne of the authority and nobility of the new dynasty, with the heart of the prince, he will inevitably be manipulated by his father Hou Junji like a puppet, and he will be rich and noble in the future, what is there to fear?
Xu Zhen brought many brothers to Qizhou along with the Shenhuo Battalion, and there was only one servant left in the Shenyong Earl's mansion, Kaisa personally guarded Li Mingda, and Mo Ya stayed in Li Zhi's mansion, Zhang Suling didn't dare to dress up Xu Zhen anymore, changed his lady's makeup, and accompanied Li Mingda.
Hou Poyu took people to the Earl of Shenyong's mansion, and he didn't dare to startle the snake, waiting for the East Palace to sound, as long as the palace launched changes, he would completely uproot Xu Zhen's foundation!
The huge palace, following the rebellion of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, will usher in another rebellion, but what is heartbreaking is that this time the protagonist is Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the Holy Lord!
Li Shimin did not go to court, he locked himself in the imperial study of the Ganlu Palace, his hair was scattered, his robe was untidy, the imperial case was overturned to the ground, and the number of books was scattered all over the ground.
He asked himself that Yu was a good master at home and in the country, that the country should be governed in accordance with the law, that the people would live and work in peace and contentment, that the military would expand the territory, that the civil servants would educate the etiquette, and that all the countries would come to the court and be honored.
He treats his courtiers very favorably, and he is even more powerful to his family, but since the death of the eldest grandson, no one has listened to him and solved his worries.
Although Li Mingda is intimate, he has experienced a fake death, and now the legitimate name is Xu Zhen's sister Xu Si'er, although she has entered the palace, she can't see each other all day, so she has to avoid the criticism of many civil ministers, as the king of a country, he is still cautious and does not dare to be too dictatorial.
But now?
Whether it is a brother or a child, one by one began to dislike his teachings, first the seventh brother Li Yuanchang intended to assassinate, and now there is a rebel son Li You who stupidly raised troops to find death, that's all, even his eldest son Li Chengqian has to oppose his father!
At the beginning, the eldest grandson Wuji and other old ministers wanted to depose the prince and re-establish the prince, but he Li Shimin was still reluctant to this lame eldest son, and kept him several times, and has been protecting Li Chengqian in the face of many criticisms from the court.
And now, it is this eldest son who he has worked hard to protect, who has been instigated to force a confession and rebel, and it is said that Li Shimin, the dignified emperor, is the head of the ordinary people, and he can't stand this kind of rebellion!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but scream like crazy, tore up the piles of secret music on the ground, and when he walked out of the imperial study, his makeup was neat, as usual, there was no trace of dirt, but the bloodshot eyes witnessed the pain in his heart.
He looked in the direction of the East Palace from afar, and instructed the people around him: "As for the heir of the mound, I'd rather not be careful, and put all this to an end..."
As soon as you speak, you will grow old in an instant.
