Chapter 478 The farce of Li Qi's restoration of the Tang Dynasty Yang Guozhong and Yang Qi joined forces to enter the palace together, of course, it couldn't be hidden, and soon, the government and the opposition spread it. Qishuwu has no pop-up window.qishuwu.It is said that Yang Guozhong wants to support the little prince Zhang Qian to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and he should be the minister of care, and replace Chen Xilie and Guo Ziyi.

But the empress Cui Ying and other emperors in the palace agreed or disagreed, and no news came out.

However, this news made Li Qi, who was secretly linked, feel a little angry.

Under the behind-the-scenes planning and guidance of Cheng Qianli, Li Qi connected many ministers of Li Tang and prepared to jointly write a letter announcing Li Tang's restoration of the country and supporting Li Qi as emperor. But the reason why Li Qi didn't dare to act rashly was because he knew that Yan Zhenqing was there, even if he brought all the courtiers over, it would actually be useless.

Besides, he couldn't have attracted too many people. And among the people he wooed, Cheng Qianli's protégés and former officials were the backbone, and there were also some people who were related to the Li Tang royal family and wanted to fish in troubled waters. These incomings, in fact, are not reliable.

What Li Qi really wants to rely on is Fan Yang's Zhang Tong.

Unlike other courtiers, Zhang Tong was a genuine prince under the emperor's mark, and he had a heavy army to occupy the land of Fanyang, and even the land of the Bohai Sea to the sea was under his jurisdiction. If Zhang Tongken falls to the Li Tang royal family, his plan to restore the country will become the majority.

Even if he is defeated in the capital, he can calmly retreat to Fanyang, Xu Tu will be long-term, and he will be the emperor in Fanyang to restore the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Qi delayed the launch, anxiously waiting for Zhang Tong's news.

For Zhang Tong, Li Qi is still somewhat sure.

Because the current Zhang family took the initiative to contact the Li Tang royal family again, Zhang Liangdi, who had already become a monk and broke with Li Heng, returned to Li Heng. This represents the attitude of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family held a grudge against the emperor, because the decline of the Zhang family was basically handled by the emperor Zhang Xuan.

And once the Zhang family clan and Li Qi are tied together, as a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Tong can only passively get on Li Qi's thief ship. In a secret letter to Zhang Tong, Li Qi solemnly promised, saying that as long as Li Tang returned to the country and he ascended the throne as emperor, he would definitely canonize Zhang Tong as the king and take charge of the power of the soldiers and horses, and would appoint Zhang Liangdi as the queen mother, and even proposed to make Zhang Tong's daughter, Zhang Xuan's concubine Zhang Ying, the queen.

Tang Wangfu.

Li Hengzhao drank and feasted every day on the 1st, but he turned a blind eye to Zhang Liangdi, who returned to the Tang Palace. Li Qi was a little annoyed, but he was helpless. Of course, Li Qi understands that his father, who seems to be confused but is actually too shrewd, is declaring that he has drawn a line with himself in this way, so as not to be implicated in the future.

Seeing Li Qi's movements getting bigger and bigger, Li Heng was terrified. Simply took a few maidservants and entourage, went out of Zhongjing, and went into hiding in a mountain village on the outskirts of Beijing under the banner of recuperation. Li Heng has to take another look, if Li Qian takes a risk, he will directly rename this Zhuangzi as a Taoist temple, and then put on a Taoist robe himself, which is for the intention of becoming a monk.

Li Heng did this, in fact, it was a business that would make sure that he would not lose money. Li Qi succeeded, he is the ready-made emperor; Li Qi is ruined, and he can also get out to protect himself.

Li Qi didn't care about Li Heng either. He has embarked on a path of no return and there is no turning back.

Li Qi was anxious. There is still no news from Zhang Tong's side, and there is not much time left for him.

Cheng Qianli sat silently in the hall and looked at Li Qi quietly.

Li Qi groaned for a while, lowered his voice and said, "Cheng Shuai, what should I do now?" Yang Guozhong and others are preparing to support Zhang Qian'er as the emperor, once Yang Guozhong is allowed to succeed, our white spoon plan will be ruined. ”

Cheng Qianli smiled indifferently, "Your Highness, you can't be in a hurry, you have to wait for Zhang Tong's reply." Otherwise, once we take this step, there will be no turning back, and we can't ignore it! ”

"But...... I got the news that Guo Ziyi has rushed to Hexi, and I am afraid that in more than ten days, he will be able to enter the pass. When Guo Ziyi returns to Beijing, we will have no day to turn over. Li Qi stomped his foot irritably.

Cheng Qianli sighed, "That's helpless." However, His Royal Highness does not need to be anxious, at this moment, not only His Royal Highness is in a hurry, but Yang Guozhong and others are also anxious. Guo Ziyi returned to Beijing, and Yang Guozhong would still not sing, so he was more anxious than us. ”

Li Qi stared at Cheng Qianli, his face remained unchanged, but he kept cursing the old fox in his heart.

Cheng Qianli is indeed an old fox. Although he secretly agreed to help Li Qi restore the country, he would not show up if he was not completely sure. Although he is guilty, his sin will not lead to death, and it will not harm his clan. But if he failed to help Li Qi restore the Tang Dynasty, it would be a big crime to be beheaded all over the house, and he could not be very cautious.

The two are opposite, but in fact, they have their own thoughts.

Just when the two were calculating Yang Guozhong, they didn't expect that Yang Guozhong, who was more ruthless, more rogue, and more honorable than them, had already brandished a dagger and forced him over.

There were dozens of members of the Li Tang Dynasty who were gathered by Li Qi, and most of them were some middle- and low-level bureaucrats in the imperial court and the army. Li Qi personally wrote a letter and seal accusing Zhang Xuan of usurping the country and claiming that the emperor was perverse and that Li Tang was recovering the country at the right time.

However, although Zhang Xianzhe, the head of the Ministry of Officials, was a distant relative of the Zhang family, he was also an eye and ear that Yang Guozhong had bought before.

Yang Guozhong entered the palace to persuade Cui Ying to support the emperor Zhang Qian, so he decided to secretly set a fire, forced Li Qi to cause trouble, and then put pressure on Cui Ying.

Under Yang Guozhong's instructions, Zhang Xianzhe made public the documents of Li Qi's party.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. In the capital, there was a commotion.

The news of the emperor's death has not yet been confirmed, and Li Tang's conspiracy to restore the country is about to be staged again.

Tang Wangfu.

Cheng Qian came in a hurry with a gloomy complexion, followed by his son Cheng Huoer.

Li Qi hurriedly greeted him, and Cheng Qianli asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, how did you get this?" Good manner, poke out a big hole! ”

Li Qi also felt very sudden and angry at the moment, he had already sent guards to find Zhang Xianzhe who had leaked the news, but unfortunately his whereabouts were unknown. Li Qi already understood that he was played once, and the other party was Yang Guozhong.

But Cheng Qianli's disrespectful attitude made him even more unhappy and annoyed. In any case, he is the master, you Cheng Qianli is a courtier, even if the Tang Dynasty fails, you follow Lao Tzu's ass to get into trouble, that is, a foil to do miscellaneous, what is arrogant? Is the Lord never divided?

But at this moment, Li Qi didn't dare to turn his face with Cheng Qianli. If he turned his face, half of the entry from his flag and shouting would be missing.

Li Qi gritted his teeth, ignored Cheng Qianli's disrespectful attitude, sighed and said hurriedly, "Cheng Shuai, I was about to look for you, this matter is full of speculation, there must be a trick behind it." However, now our top priority is how to end the game, not to blame each other. ”

Cheng Qianli stomped his feet fiercely, and said in a deep voice with some impatience, "If you are forced to do this, you can only take risks." ”

"Your Highness, we immediately pack up our family and salute, and are ready to leave Zhongjing City at any time; Then we united the people to hold a court meeting and announced the return of the thief. ”

Cheng Qianli said, "Yan Zhenqing's military horses are very well guarded - for the sake of insurance, we should first transport the family and family furniture out of Beijing and arrange a way out!" ”

"Where to retreat?" Li Qi let out a sigh of relief.

"Fan Yang! I waited for Fan Yang to go to Fan Yang, so I simply didn't do anything, and signed Zhang Tong's name on the joint statement, so I wrapped Zhang Tong to do things together, and saw if he agreed! ”

"Okay, that's it. Brother Xiao Cheng, you are responsible for arranging the retreat of our waiting, the Jingshi Guards have two thousand entrances to mine, this is my jade pendant, you take it to find Zhonglang General Gu Zhun; Cheng Shuai, you and I immediately contacted the crowd and entered the palace to make trouble! ”

………… At dusk and sunset. It is the early spring of the fourth year of Yongning, the temperature is still very low, the northwest wind is blowing heartlessly, the streets in the capital are sparse, Li Qi and Cheng Qianli led 56 party courtiers, under the escort of 2,000 soldiers and horses, to attack the imperial city at the fastest speed.

Their white spoon family members and furniture have been secretly transported out of Beijing, and if the Beijing division fails, they will immediately evacuate and rush to Fanyang.

They wanted to enter the palace, hold a big court meeting in the palace, and then with lightning speed, support Li Qi as the emperor, announce the restoration of Li Tang, and announce his death. If Yan Zhenqing's soldiers and horses attacked, they would withdraw with them; Of course, if Yan Zhenqing and Chen Xilie are acquiescing to reality and acknowledging Li Tang's return to the country, then they will naturally be happy.

2,000 military horses came by surprise and came under the Zhonghua Gate.

The forbidden army guarding the Zhonghua Gate was caught off guard, and was immediately taken down by Li Qi's entry.

Li Qi and others broke into the palace, as if they had entered a place without entry.

Outside the Zhonghua Palace, Li Qi was about to lead into the palace, suddenly there was a roaring footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding on the palace path in front of him, and two teams of fierce soldiers with swords and guns came around from both sides, and they surrounded the Zhonghua Palace in a short time, blocking the way for Li Qi to enter the horse.

There were also the sound of galloping horses' hooves and the sound of soldiers' orders coming from the distance, Cheng Qianli was born as a military marshal, and immediately judged that this was Yan Zhenqing's soldiers and horses, not the forbidden army in the palace, but the government soldiers of Gyeonggi Province, and there were a lot of horses, at least thousands.

Cheng Qianli's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not good, Your Highness, Yan Zhenqing has already prepared, it seems that the cage has been laid out, waiting for me to be caught!" ”

"Evacuate, evacuate immediately!" Li Qi's face also changed greatly, and he shouted and ordered.

But Cheng Qianli grabbed his arm and said hurriedly, "The matter has come to this, don't give up halfway." Your Royal Highness, we are here, publicly announcing the letter of the thief, presenting the seal of persuasion, supporting Your Majesty as the emperor, and announcing the restoration of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Qi nodded with a gloomy face.

Cheng Qianli immediately waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to guard the surroundings and form a confrontation with the opponent's soldiers. Then Cheng Qianli led 56 courtiers to kneel on the ground hastily, and Cheng Huoer began to loudly announce the so-called letter of begging for thieves and persuading the seal.

It is nothing more than that Zhang Xuan stole Li Tang's subordinates, and he is actually a national thief, and he should be punished together. Now they are angry and resentful, and they are in the upper body, supporting Li Qi to be the emperor, and recovering the Tang Dynasty.

Such persuasion was like a farce, so that Yan Zhenqing's generals and soldiers were dumbfounded.
