Chapter 325: The dust has settled
Li Heng trembled and stood up again, just about to speak, Li Yu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said angrily, "Don't take it yet!" ”
But Li Yu shouted for a long time, but the palace guards under Gongsun You, who were standing beside him, were all solemn and did not move.
Li Yu was furious and roared, "Gongsun You, didn't you hear the words of this palace? ”
Gongsun You sighed lightly, and hugged his fist to Li Yu and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower official is the minister of His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness does not have an edict, please forgive the lower official for not daring to move the King of Yongning!" ”
After speaking, Gongsun You waved his hand lightly, and all the palace forbidden guards immediately lined up on both sides.
Gongsun You took a step forward, bowed down in front of Li Heng's case, and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, the minister's right guard leads the governor Shi Gongsun You, listen to His Highness's edict!" ”
The situation reversed, Li Yu's henchman Gongsun You suddenly turned back, Li Heng was calm, and Yang Guozhong and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether to take Zhang Xuān or not, at this time, Li Heng actually didn't care about it, and his most important thing was his own safety. He never expected that his son Li Yu would also follow the example of King Rong and King Si Ning of that year, and lead the army to force the palace to carry out military advice. If it was really a last resort, he had no choice but to passively give up Zhang Xuān and let Li Yu take Zhang Xuān down.
Luckily, things have a dramatic twist xìng.
He fixed his mind, and rebuked angrily, "Li Yu, what crime should you be guilty of forcing the palace with armor and using swords in front of the palace?" ”
Li Yu's face changed suddenly, and he was extremely white.
He never dreamed that Gongsun You, who ≡ he regarded as his confidant, would betray him and refuse to obey his orders at this critical juncture of forcing the palace.
Li Yu subconsciously took a few steps back, glared at Gongsun You with an extremely cruel and cannibalistic gaze, raised his finger and pointed at him word by word, "Gongsun You, hello, very good!" How dare you betray this palace! This palace will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in your heart! ”
Gongsun You didn't dare to look at Li Yu's eyes, and lowered his head slightly.
Li Yu is indeed very fond of Gongsun You, and Gongsun You once thought that he would be loyal to the future prince. However, Gongsun You couldn't have imagined that the master he was loyal to would take a risk and make a stupid move to force the palace soldiers to admonish.
Who is Zhang Xuān? Gongsun You used to work under Zhang Xuān in the past, although it was not for a long time, but he also knew Zhang Xuān's methods and schemes. In Gongsun You's view, Li Yu wanted to fight Zhang Xuān, and he was basically doomed to failure from the beginning.
Zhang Xuān's decisive methods and meticulous thinking are almost demonic and divine in Gongsun You's mind. At the beginning, the two rebellions of King Rong and King Si Ning were quelled, and they were like a stroke of genius.
At that time, Zhang Xuān's position of power and control and influence over the imperial court were far less than they are today.
Gongsun You didn't dare to be an enemy of Zhang Xuān at all, which almost became a subconscious of self-preservation.
Therefore, Gongsun You once bitterly advised Li Yu not to take risks. But Li Yu x ìng is stubborn and self-serving, since he has made up his mind to take a risky move, how can he listen to Gongsun You's good words and persuasion?
Gongsun You was helpless, in order to avoid embarking on the road of no return with Li Yu and leaving a glimmer of life for himself, he secretly sent someone to report a vague message to Zhang Xuān.
In fact, Gongsun You also knew very well in his heart that even if he didn't report it, there would be a large number of eyes and ears among the guards and horses of the right guard under his command, and the news would still spread to the Yongning Palace. After all, Zhang Xuān was the founder and first commander of this palace shì guard.
And just outside the hall, he just got the news that the Yulin guards under Yang Lian, the general of the right guard of the Yulin Guard, were divided into two ways, the left side was in a stalemate with Meng Xun's men and horses at the left gate, and Yang Lian himself led the army straight to the right gate, I am afraid that the right gate has been controlled at this moment, once there is any wind and grass in the palace, Yang Lian's Yulin Wei and Zhang Xuān's guards will rush in and take Li Yu and Chen Xuanli in one fell swoop.
Today, all this is similar to when Gongsun You followed Zhang Xuān to pacify the heir Ning King Li Lin forced the palace! Everything is under Zhang Xuān's control, and Li Yu and Chen Xuanli's military admonition to the palace looks like a child's game.
Therefore, before entering the temple. Gongsun You has completely abandoned Li Yu.
Li Yu retreated step by step, and Gongsun You turned against the water, which meant that all the palace forbidden guards of the palace led by the Jinyouwei he relied on could not play a role, and he could only count on the thousands of Lin Wei under Chen Xuanli to enter the palace in time to save him from the passive crisis.
Speaking of which, this Li Yu can be regarded as a ruthless sè, once he recognized the situation, he did not hesitate at all, he actually pushed everyone away, turned over and fled outside the hall.
Gongsun You was about to wave his hand and order his palace forbidden guards to stop Li Yu, but he saw a strange sneer floating on the corner of Zhang Xuān's mouth. As soon as he felt a chill in his heart, he stopped his gesture and let Li Yu flee towards the entrance of the hall.
Yang Lian's military horses controlled the right gate. And Meng Xun on the left door was firmly pinned down by Yang Lian's other Yulin Guard, unable to act. Meng Xun has never received a signal from Chen Xuanli, and he can't really tear his face with his "comrades" and fight outside the palace gate.
He couldn't figure out the situation in the palace, and he didn't dare to use knives and guns without permission, which was the consequence of raiding his family and exterminating the clan.
Yang Lian led a thousand Lin Wei to rush into Xingqing Palace and take over the defense of Xingqing Palace. And Nan Jiyun and Xiao Shisanlang took more than 100 guards under Zhang Xuān to disguise themselves as Yulin Guards, and traveled all the way to the Mingde Palace.
Outside the Mingde Palace, Chen Xuanli, who rushed out of the hall, was captured.
Yang Lian strode forward under the escort of several soldiers, snatched a torch from the hand of a soldier, and stared at the embarrassed Chen Xuanli by the light of the fire, and sneered, "Chen Shangshu, you are really so bold, you dare to conspire with the King of Chu to force the palace with armor and cause trouble to the court, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
Chen Xuanli was desperate and hung his head silently.
At this moment, he has already regretted Li Yu's thief ship, the military admonition failed, the success was successful, but fell into Zhang Xuān's countermeasures, what else did he say?
Li Yu, as the prince this time, at most, will lose the throne and the qualification to enter the East Palace in the future, so as not to hurt Xìng's life: but he is different, what awaits him will be Li Heng's anger and Zhang Xuān's thunderous revenge.
At this moment, there was a change in the well in the hall, and after a while, I saw Li Yu, the king of Chu, stumbling out.
Nan Jiyun's face was cold, and he was about to lead the army to take Li Yu down, Yang Lian grabbed Nan Jiyun, shook his head and said in a low voice, "General Nan, don't act rashly." He is a prince after all, please don't be impatient! ”
Nan Jiyun let out a sigh of relief and did not act again.
Li Yu rushed out of the hall, looked left and right in a hurry, and saw that the Mingde Hall had already been densely surrounded by the murderous Yulin Guard, and it was Yang Lian who stood at the forefront.
Li Yu's heart sank suddenly, and Miao couldn't control his panic, and collapsed on the cold blue brick floor outside the hall.
Yang Lian strode into the Mingde Palace, and under the complicated gaze of everyone, he knelt down in front of Li Heng's case, "Your Highness, the minister's rescue is late, please forgive your Highness!" ”
"His Royal Highness, Chen Xuanli and Li Yu, the king of Chu, conspired to force the palace, and Chen Xuanli mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses of Yulinwei to surround Xingqing Palace without authorization, plotting against him. After the minister got the news, he immediately led the army to Xingqing Palace, and took down the rebels in one fell swoop. ”
Yang Lian couldn't stand on the ground.
Li Heng's mind had all settled down at this time, and his face was back to normal. Although the cowardly side of his xìng character was brought out at a particular moment, it did not affect his judgment and reason.
Li Heng looked at Yang Lian and was silent.
He gradually figured out why. Li Yu and Chen Xuanli forced the palace, targeting Zhang Xuān. Of course, he also had to force him to appoint Li Yu as the future prince of the East Palace. It's just that he, a bold son, braved the world's condemnation to do such a rebellious thing, but was easily counterattacked by Zhang Xuān.
It's not about success or failure, but everything is in Zhang Xuān's control.
"Hateful and pathetic Yu'er..."Li Heng's face was blue and white, and he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xuān secretly.
Nominally, it was Yang Lian who led the army to quell the rebellion, but in fact, the chief director behind the scenes was still Zhang Xuān. It can be seen that Zhang Xuān's energy and means are far more unfathomable than he imagined, Li Heng's heart flashed, but his heart was awe-inspiring.
He said slowly, "Yang Lian, you have made a meritorious contribution to quelling the rebellion and saving the driver, and get up." ”
"Yes, Your Highness.
Yang Lian got up and stood to the side. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Zhang Xuān. And Zhang Xuān also sat calmly on the original seat, silent.
The crowd was silent.
The dust settled, Li Yu and Chen Xuanli's forced palace failed, and everything seemed to be back to square one. But for Li Heng, he is facing a huge problem at the moment: how to deal with Li Yu and Chen Xuanli, how to give an explanation to Zhang Xuān, the ministers and the royal clan.
After all, Li Yu and Chen Xuanli are so public to force the palace, if they can't do it, don't say that they can't convince the public, even Zhang Xuān will not give up.
Li Heng suddenly sighed.
Although Li Yu offended Li Heng's taboo with armor and forced the palace, it made him extremely angry, but Li Heng was not Li Longji after all, and he did not have the ruthlessness and courage to kill a son like killing a pig. If he wants to kill his parents and children with his own hands, he can't do it, and he will never be able to do it.
He has a cowardly side and a benevolent side. On this horn of father Sè,
He is far more competent than Li Longji.
Everyone sat silently on the original seat and looked at Li Heng quietly.
After waiting for a long time, and not seeing Li Heng speak, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but get up and said in a low voice, "Your Highness!" ”
Li Heng subconsciously looked up at Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Li Yu and Chen Xuanli are complicit in the rebellion with armor to force the palace, and the criminal has been taken down by Yu Linwei, just outside the palace, please ask Your Highness to judge as soon as possible!" ”!
