Chapter 687: Hit the nail on the head
As soon as Cai Cong returned to the temporary residence, Sister Cai immediately cried and wiped her tears, and casually packed a few clothes and said that she would go to Luoyang to take care of her daughter.
Zheng Rong and his two children were also going to follow, Cai Cong intercepted it decisively, the other party's conspiracy was not known yet, so the whole family got together, isn't this equivalent to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Even Sister Cai was persuaded by Cai Cong, Cai Cong decided to go to Luoyang alone, and his wife and children were sent elsewhere, if there was really any conspiracy, he would not die in the whole family.
When Sister Cai wiped her tears and sent Cai Cong, in the secret room of the Jin Palace, Li Zhi threw things angrily.
"Who asked Hou He to do it? The dog thing is on his own, and now he is startling the snake, not only the prince will return to Chang'an, but Cai Cong may also come back, does he think that this king will not be able to do anything without Hou Junji? ”
Li Zhi roared, the precious inkstone smashed to the ground, and the face of the person in front of him was extremely ugly!
"Lord Wang, now is not the time to hold Hou He responsible, the top priority is to think about how to deal with it."
The man said solemnly, what he was most worried about was not Li Chengqian and Cai Cong, he was afraid that Li Shimin's anxious heart would suddenly calm down, in that case, the golden pill of Kunlun Daoist would not be fed into Li Shimin's mouth, and everything would be a failure.
"At the critical juncture, this king has lost his normal heart, and ordered the Kunlun pill plan to proceed as usual. Tell Hou He, if Meng Baolai is dead, don't fight for the position of the driver, but don't make too much movement, if Meng Baolai dies, who is the most fierce and who is the most suspicious. Don't drive this position out, let Xinbei drive to face the anger of the prince and Cai Cong. ”
Li Zhi calmed his anger, and then commanded his subordinates. He is a man with a big heart, but his opponents are too strong, and it is because of such huge pressure that he is so out of shape.
"Lord Wang, the reason why Hou and Na set up this bureau is not only to prevent the prince from entering Chang'an, but the more important thing is that he wants to take the new army in his hands, and the little one is afraid that he will disrespect the order."
The person in front of Li Zhi said worriedly, Hou Junji, the righteous son, not only learned Hou Junji's art of war and martial arts, but more importantly, he learned Hou Junji's arrogant and self-respecting character.
"No one can do anything bad at a critical juncture, if he really cares so much about a mere position, then send him to the underworld, and after this king masters the great treasure, wouldn't it be better to posthumously crown him as the Luoyang Assassin History?"
Li Zhi's cold voice echoed in the dark secret room, if there was no decisive and sharp place in life and death, how could he gather such a force in secret.
"But after killing Hou He, the little one is afraid that Hou Junji will be dissatisfied, and now he is in charge of the Yangzhou Water Division, and his strength cannot be underestimated."
"It's because of his strong strength that this position can't be obtained by the Hou family, otherwise if there is any turmoil, the two of them will join forces, and the waterway from Guanzhong to Jiangnan will all be surnamed Hou, and when the time comes, whether the king can command them is two words."
Li Zhi said coldly, since Yan Tong left the water division, Hou Junji has monopolized power, not only dictating military affairs, but even wanting to extend his hand to Yangzhou's government affairs, which shows that this person is greedy and is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.
"Little one gets it! In that case, let's create some fog too! Let's see what they do when the time comes! ”
The person opposite Li Zhi smiled coldly, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, smart people are easy to use.
Two days later, a major event occurred in Luoyang that shocked the government and the opposition, more than a dozen officials were poisoned overnight, and Luoyang Assassin Shi did not eat dinner because he was reprimanded by the eldest grandson Wuji, and his meals were also found to be highly toxic afterwards.
Li Shimin was furious in the early dynasty, and issued three decrees in a row to ask the eldest grandson Wuji to investigate thoroughly, but he fell on the dragon chair in anger.
When he learned that the emperor had already had a disease, Fang Xuanling sent ten fast horses to Luoyang to invite the prince to return to the palace, and he took important ministers and heavy soldiers to guard the Taiji Palace, waiting for Li Shimin to wake up.
When Li Shimin woke up in the afternoon, Li Zhi's tears of joy flowed down, but he was cursing God in his heart for not opening his eyes, if his father's blood vessels burst and died, then the ministers he secretly contacted could use the excuse that the country could not be without a king for a day, and asked Li Zhi to be the regent on his behalf.
At that time, as long as he can get the command of the inner palace and cooperate with the forces in his hands, he will be able to clean Chang'an in less than a day and ascend the throne in the name of the edict. But why is my father's life so hard?
When Li Chengqian received the news the next day, he was terrified, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen to his father if he was to be buried in Chang'an.
immediately took the sick Chu Yao and his young son to board the big ship and went to Chang'an.
Li Chengqian sat on the deck with a worried look, and the sudden incident disrupted the peace. He didn't dare to think that if it was the consequence of his father's funeral, even if Chang'an was not chaotic, the collapse of the emperor would allow the Tibetans and Turks to take advantage of the chaos of the transfer of imperial power to the south, and then they would be devastated.
"Husband..."
Just when Li Chengqian was thinking wildly, a weak voice came. Li Chengqian hurriedly walked over to help her, and said reproachfully: "It's windy outside, what if it's cold?" Go back and lie down. ”
"It's out of the way, husband, I'm worried about my father, and I'm worried about my eldest brother. The original balance was suddenly completely messed up, and the eldest brother will definitely rush back at all costs if you and I are injured and sick. But the more sick my father is, the more jealous I am of my eldest brother, and I am afraid that my eldest brother and my father will eventually be..."
Chu Yao couldn't say any more, Li Chengqian looked at the river in silence, the golden waves dyed by the sunset were really beautiful, but why did he feel a desolation welling up in his heart?
"It is rumored outside that those officials were poisoned by your eldest brother, saying that Meng Baolai's life is unknown, and your eldest brother is angry with these officials!"
Li Chengqian said with a wry smile, Chu Yao's face became even more ugly, although he didn't know the truth, this bottomless behavior was very much like a big brother protecting a calf.
"I just affirmed that it was definitely not Cai Cong who did it, if he wants to be angry, he will definitely kill all the Taoist priests in Chang'an. Because I can't enter Chang'an, it will be the most beneficial to that Kunlun Taoist, according to Cai Cong's temper, whether it is this Taoist or not, he will kill this Taoist first.
But this person is still good, which means that your eldest brother is showing his father that he has no intention of ruling the government, but I don't understand who is secretly using such despicable means when I think about it. ”
Li Chengqian said that he was a little confused, he checked the people in the court, those who are capable have no motive, those who have motives have no strength, he always feels that this Chang'an is like a deep pool, and there is a poisonous Jiao staring at him under the dim water.
"Since there is a plot, in the current situation of the father, there is a great chance that someone in the dark will do it. So what the husband has to do now is to go back to Chang'an to coordinate the overall situation, so as not to be used by someone with a heart when something goes wrong. As long as the husband leads the hundred officials to control the military power of Chang'an, and the queen mother leads the palace guards, there will be no chaos during the period when the father and emperor are in discord. ”
Chu Yao hit the nail on the head and said, as long as they are in control of the palace and outside the palace, they are not afraid of chaos, and they can be suppressed at any time if they have military power. Li Chengqian glanced at Chu Yao gratefully, and his irritable mood suddenly calmed down, he just needed to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
