Chapter Ninety-Eight: Plotting in the Mansion of King Qin
Luo Yan was not selling straight at this time, when his life was at stake, Luo Yan only thought about urging Li Shimin to make a decision, and then personally experienced the famous case through the ages: the change of Xuanwumen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Luo Yan said this, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian also came in. Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, he said directly with tears: "Your Highness, you should continue to suffer from it. Think about Guanyin and Cheng Qian, when we are dead and famous, how can their orphans and widows have a better life. ”
Li Shimin was still a little embarrassed at this time and said: "Auxiliary machine, I know all these things, it's just that if I do this, what will the people of the world think, I am afraid that there will be rebellion in various places at that time." At this time, Li Shimin still looked indecided.
The eldest grandson Wuji finally magnified his move: "After this matter is done, as long as the lives of Guanyin's mother and son are saved, the blame will be put on my head, and I will apologize with death, and I will admit it." ”
looked at the teary-eyed eldest grandson Wuji, and then looked at Gao Shilian, who wanted to speak and stopped, and Luo Yan, who had a dissatisfaction on his face. Thinking about the faces of his wife and children, as well as the scenery of holding power in the future, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and forced out a few words: "That's it, it's this infamy through the ages, and I also admit it." ”
broke the nonsense moral shackles in his heart, and Li Shimin at this time finally returned to his original high-spirited appearance. said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary, if you want to succeed, without Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, just rely on me and wait for a few, the risk is too great, I want to send someone to pick them up, and then make plans." ”
Seeing that Li Shimin finally made a decision, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped crying, and regardless of the tears still on his face, he turned his face and smiled at Gao Shilian and Luo Yan.
Seeing these three people laughing inexplicably, Li Shimin was a little confused: "What, am I not right?" ”
"No, Your Highness is right. However, let the two of them come back, His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about it, early this morning, the city gate was opened, and the people who took them back had already left Chang'an, at this time, I am afraid that they are all about to arrive. "The eldest grandson Wuji confessed the good things he had done like this.
Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was a little embarrassed at this time, Li Shimin stammered and said, "You guys...... You've thought about it so early. ”
"Last night, when he came in to look for me, it happened that my uncle was there, and the three of us had already carefully scrutinized the current situation. In any case, Fang Du and the others must come back. If you still wait for His Highness's order, I'm afraid things will already be out of control. So I took matters into our own hands and sent for the two of them. Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji also nodded at Luo Yan, indicating that it was not his idea alone, and Luo Yan's credit was also in it.
"If you lose your determination to forge ahead, is Your Highness still the heroic King of Qin at the beginning? If His Royal Highness can't do anything, then I can only blame myself for not knowing anyone. Luo Yan said lightly. At this time, if you don't give Li Shimin any stimulation, it is estimated that this goods did not wait for Fang Xuanling and them to come back, and they regretted it when the time came, then Luo Yanke would lose a lot.
Listening to Luo Yan's words, Li Shimin blushed for a while.
During this time, he has always cherished the benevolence of a woman, or rather, he simply did not have the courage to bear the infamy of the ages, so he waited for Li Jiancheng and them to strike first. But only now, Li Shimin realized that in fact, he was completely killing himself by doing this.
Without waiting for Li Shimin to continue to reflect, Luo Yan asked: "Some time ago, I said that I wanted to buy off the servants and jailers of Chang'an County, I don't know what His Highness has done?" ”
Li Shimin said without thinking: "I handed over this matter to Zhang Gongjin to handle, but, why should you buy these people?" ”
"If the time comes, His Highness's palace will not have enough troops, and it will be a force to be reckoned with these people and lured them with generous profits, plus those prisoners in Chang'an City, and they will be exempted." Luo Yan said it lightly, but when it fell into the ears of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian, he was almost scared to death.
Luo Yan's method can definitely be called spicy. actually took into account the lack of troops in advance, so Luo Yan had already thought that today's events would happen at that time.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were already surprised by Luo Yan's foresight last night, they originally thought that Luo Yan asked Li Shimin to befriend those errand officers and prison officials just so that he would not make trouble for himself when the time came, who knew that Luo Yan had the idea of fighting. Even the prisoners dare to use it, Luo Yan's courage is no longer ordinary.
Looking at the three of them with bewildered expressions, Luo Yan said: "History accepts prisoners for their own use, and it abounds. Since we are doing extraordinary things, we are using some extraordinary people, so what is so strange? ”
After a long time, Li Shimin sighed with emotion: "Entering, it is really a ghost talent in the world." In addition to this description, Li Shimin could not find other suitable words to describe it.
Because the people sent out kept changing horses at the post station, Fang Du and the others didn't pack up anything after receiving the letter from the eldest grandson Wuji, so they followed the people who went to pick them up and rushed to Chang'an. So when the city gate was just opened the next day, the two of them went directly into the city gate and rushed to King Qin's mansion.
Fortunately, it was still early, and it was not the time of the early dynasty, so the two of them did not block all the way, and soon entered the gate of the Qin Palace.
At this time, Li Shimin had already gathered all the civil ministers and military generals who could be summoned under his command in the Qin Palace, and waited all night. For the older ones, Li Shimin arranged to rest in the guest room. And the younger ones are all staying with Li Shimin.
At this time, as soon as Fang Du and the others arrived at the main hall, Li Shimin did not talk nonsense, and directly began to get to the point: "I have decided to attack the crown prince and the king of Qi as soon as possible, do you have any suggestions." ”
Hearing Li Shimin's decision, these people finally had a smile on their faces. These days, I have been aggrieved, and I have been suppressed by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but my master has been unable to make up his mind for a long time, so he can only swallow his anger and have nowhere to vent. Now it's okay, I can finally vent my grievances.
Among them, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie were the most excited. Wei Chi Jingde was not lightly organized by Li Jiancheng, because Li Yuan's ears were soft, and he almost died in Li Yuanji's frame. As for Cheng Zhijie, Li Yuan released him for no reason, also because of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Moreover, Wei Chi Jingde was also threatened by assassins.
"His grandfather's, this time he must take the life of Li Yuanji's child." Wei Chi Jingde put down his cruel words on the spot.
However, the decision is there, and a detailed plan is needed to implement it.
Fang Xuanling has always had a lot of scheming, and he came up with an idea right away: "Your Highness will report to the saint today, saying that the prince is the **** harem." Presumably, the saint will inevitably summon the prince into the palace tomorrow for interrogation. And the crown prince and the king of Qi have always been in and out together, and they will inevitably go together. We will take this opportunity to ambush people outside the Xuanwu Gate, and capture them in one fell swoop when the time comes. ”
Fang Xuanling's plan completely captured Li Yuan's psychology. After Li Yuan became the emperor, he had no real wife to control him, so he naturally became a hard-working little bee, so there were many concubines in the harem. But a man has a desire to possess, which will be strange when he hears that someone is plotting against his own woman, especially since this person is his own son.
It was by taking advantage of this mentality that Fang Xuanling was sure that Li Yuan would not be placed under house arrest like Li Jiancheng usually made mistakes, but would be questioned on the spot, so he made such a plan.
Du Ruhui pondered Fang Xuanling's strategy for a while, and then said: "This is feasible, but the Xuanwu Gate is small after all, it can't accommodate too many ambushes, and it's close to the East Palace. ”
"Then let the soldiers in the palace come over to reinforce it."
"No, there are many guards under the prince, once the soldiers are divided into two ways, one side reinforces the Xuanwu Gate, and attacks the Qin Palace, the victory or defeat is unpredictable." Du Ruhui was also stumped.
"It's okay, yesterday I, the auxiliary machine, Gao Zhizhong and Jinzhi discussed it. When the time comes, lest the crime lure the death row prisoners in Beijing, issue swords, and go to Xuanwumen for reinforcements, so that the problem of insufficient manpower can be solved. Li Shimin said without thinking.
After listening to Li Shimin's words, the people in the audience noticed that Luo Yan had inadvertently sat beside the eldest grandson Wuji. According to the usual practice, that shows that Li Shimin has regarded him as a core staff. Thinking of Luo Yan's seemingly random suggestions some time ago, I didn't expect to be used here. At the moment, the eyes of these people looking at Luo Yan also changed.
Although this young man didn't expect to be so thoughtful, he actually expected today's events before everyone else. This ability is really terrifying.
Not to mention the gaze of everyone looking at Luo Yan, after Du Ruhui heard Li Shimin's words, he was also relaxed: "In this way, it will be much easier." It's just that how can we ensure that these death row inmates can serve their lives? "This is a big problem, and when the time comes, I am afraid that these death row inmates will take the opportunity to escape on the road, and it will kill people.
Du Ruhui's question made everyone who had just felt relaxed nervous.
At this time, Li Shimin also had no tricks, so he could only set his eyes on Luo Yan.
After sorting out his thoughts, Luo Yan said: "Without him, there will only be one military general left in the palace tomorrow, and the other generals will all follow His Highness to Xuanwu Gate." As long as the prince and the king of Qi are killed before the arrival of the prince's reinforcements, and the corpses are thrown out at that time, the reinforcements will inevitably be disheartened, plus those death row prisoners come from afar, as long as they see that they have no chance of winning, these people will naturally retreat if they lose their backbone. ”
Listening to Luo Yan's method, the people in the audience couldn't help but applaud secretly.
This is actually a small war, as long as the leader is killed, the other side has already lost half of it. At that time, there will be no need for those death row prisoners to make a move, and when the reinforcements see that Li Shimin also has a huge reinforcement on his side, they will naturally have no fighting spirit. It's good to be able to fight out, but I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm going to surrender on the spot.
By this time, the plan has basically been finalized, and the rest is the specific personnel arrangement.
