Just as Ma Si was worried, Cui Qinggong's army slaughtered the city and finally caused a big wave in Chang'an, before that, the news came from nowhere, Cui Qinggong's violence against the people has been in a uproar in Chang'an, restaurants, teahouses, inns, green buildings, all public places are talking about this matter, the people of Chang'an all hate it, especially the thirteen county magistrates above the county order were destroyed, and their wives and daughters were all killed by the gang violence, which aroused great indignation among the court officials, They are not only bitter hatred for Cui Qinggong, but also serious dissatisfaction with Cui Xiaofu's protection of his brother.

Now that the two county towns of Songcheng and Yucheng have been slaughtered, together with the displaced people who have fled, more than 50,000 people have been killed, and less than 100 people have survived.

It was the Guozi Jian Shizi who took the lead in marching on the streets, demanding the removal of Cui Qinggong from all his positions, and demanding the killing of Cui Qinggong to thank the world, with the citizens of Chang'an and the hungry people who fled to Chang'an from all over Guanzhong to join, when the procession arrived at the Suzaku Gate, the entire Vermilion Bird Street was already crowded with people, and nearly 50,000 Niu Wei soldiers rushed out to maintain order, despite this, the hungry people still broke out in riots, the wall of Fengle Fang was torn down, the bazaar and nearly 100 households in the fang were looted, and the Qianniu Wei soldiers then suppressed and arrested thousands of people, More than 200 people were trampled to death or killed.

This day was June 21, and it was on this day that Zhang Huan broke the Qarlu people in the Western Regions and recovered the North Court for the Tang Dynasty. Ten Princes' Mansions. Inside the palace of King Luo. A man with a shrewd and capable appearance was reporting his achievements to Li Li: "My subordinates sent a hundred people to publicize Cui Qinggong's atrocities all over Chang'an, and found a few refugees who fled from Huaibei to show up and tell the truth, and the effect was very significant. ”

"Good! Well done. Li Li's face was already smiling, he patted his shoulders heavily, and praised him repeatedly: "I want to greatly commend you." You will be rewarded with three thousand dollars. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for the reward!" The man bowed again and again and took his leave.

Li Lidi was in a particularly happy mood, he squinted and drank tea slowly, imagining the grand occasion of the 500,000-person parade, and couldn't help but smile, this time Cui Xiaofu couldn't keep Cui Qinggong no matter what.

At this time, a person walked in from outside, bowed to Li Li, and said, "Lord Wang." Do you have something to do with me? ”

"Come on! Come! Come! Mr. Huang, please come in. Li Li personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "As Mr. Huang expected, this matter has aroused great public anger in Chang'an. used public opinion to force Cui Xiaofu to depose Cui Qinggong, such a clever method can only be imagined by Mr., Mr. is really talented! ”

After speaking, he bowed to Mr. Huang again, "I have treated Mr. badly in the past, please don't take Mr. to heart." ”

This Mr. Huang, who made Li Li grateful, was naturally his former secretary Lang Huang Yunqing, but now he has been promoted to Li Li's staff, and there were no outsiders present when he met him. Of course, it belongs to the confidant-level staff.

Huang Yunqing hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and said modestly: "The prince is too polite, the prince has treated me well in the past few years, and I should do something for the prince to give some ideas, but the prince thinks of me a little too highly, and I still used this strategy when Zhang Huan took Wuwei." It's not my cleverness. ”

"Probably not. Might as well be the jade of other mountains. You can also attack stones! Li Li didn't think who this strategy was original, he cared about his own vital interests, since he found his son's imperial authority in the court, Li Li's heart began to live, and Li Yao lacked father's love since he was a child, and naturally showed an attachment to his biological father, which also inspired Li Li's licking of calves, he no longer wanted to give this son to Cui Xiaofu, he wanted to get his son back, of course, his deeper idea was to be the emperor.

Li Li sighed and said: "What I'm a little worried about now is that after forcing Cui Xiaofu to dismiss Cui Qinggong's qualifications as a cabinet minister, how can I get this position, I'm worried that it will be taken away by people like Wang Ang and Duan Xiushi, I worked hard, but I made them a wedding dress in vain, what should I do next, I hope Mr. will teach me." ”

Huang Yunqing seemed to have a clear idea of this matter, he waved his hand lightly and smiled slightly: "This quota is decided by Cui Xiaofu herself, of course she will consider it from her own best interests, although Wang Ang is an old qualified cabinet, but he has nothing now, and he does not have enough connections in the court, Cui Xiaofu will not consider him, although Duan Xiushi is a hardcore royalist, he also has a little strength, but he is far away from quenching his thirst, it is impossible to enter Beijing to help, and more importantly, his so-called strength is completely in the middle of Zhang Huan and Pei Jun, and he is vulnerable, He didn't really help Cui Xiaofu, maybe in order to protect himself, he would stand on Zhang Huan's side, so these two people are not worried, as for the prince's countermeasures

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment, wanting to see Li Li's reaction, and sure enough, Li Li was unconsciously attracted by his words, leaned forward, and blurted out: "What countermeasures?" ”

Huang Yunqing was secretly happy in his heart, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me slowly, the key to the next step of the prince is to let the queen mother know the importance of the prince, and at the same time, knock on her, so that she understands what kind of position to give the prince." ”

"So what exactly do I do?" Li Li asked again with a frown.

"It's very simple, she must be overwhelmed by Cui Qinggong's matter now, the prince might as well mobilize the clan to speak for her and help her draw a clear line with Cui Qinggong, so that the importance of the prince will be reflected, as for knocking on him, the prince might as well think about it on the emperor's body, I think, she will come to talk to the prince."

Li Li suddenly realized, he let out a long breath, "Mr. Gao Ming, the car, walked a mile, but secretly got into another carriage and galloped towards Dongshi

An hour later, Li Chuanyun hurriedly came to Wuzhu Yuebao store, walked into the inner room, Huang Yunqing immediately stood up, bowed to her and said, "Hello Master Li!" ”

"Sit down and talk." Li Chuanyun waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Huang really succeeded, 500,000 people marched on the streets today, and I can hardly cross Suzaku Street." ”

Huang Yunqing smiled bitterly and said: "Where is my credit, I will say it according to Master Li's teachings, if Li Li asks a few more words, I won't be able to answer!"

"Then what is Li Li's movement?" Li Chuanyun continued to ask.

"He entered the palace in the afternoon, and it is estimated that he should go to the emperor." Speaking of this, Huang Yunqing sighed and said, "I'm worried that he will send someone to find me at night, I don't know what he will ask?" I don't know how to answer? Please teach me Master Li. ”

Li Chuanyun walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment and said: "What he cares about now is nothing more than how to enter the cabinet, I estimate that Cui Xiaofu will put forward the condition that he must not see the emperor again, at this point, you must persuade him not to give in, you have to let him understand, is it important to enter the cabinet, or is it important to be the emperor?" He must have wanted both the bear's paw and the fish, and at this time, you can persuade him to go to Wegger and let Wegger speak for him. ”

"Go to Wee?" Huang Yunqing was a little puzzled.

Li Chuanyun smiled and said: "If Li Li enters the cabinet, then the only foreign aid that Cui Xiaofu can rely on is Wei Deqing, how can he Wei Ge not understand this?" ”

Li Chuanyun saw Huang Yunqing showing a look of sudden realization, she smiled again and shook her head and said: "Don't think about things too simply, no one can know Cui Xiaofu better than me, I'm sure that in the end, Li Li still can't enter the cabinet, as for who can enter the cabinet, it's not the person you and I can think of." ”

The march of 500,000 people in Chang'an did not gradually disperse until the evening, and that night, Pei Jun rushed to the Daming Palace to meet Cui Xiaofu and discuss the matter of Cui Qinggong.

In fact, Cui Xiaofu knew that there might be such consequences as early as a month ago, she was very sober in this matter, but she was also very helpless, she knew that if she didn't draw a clear line with Cui Qinggong, she would be removed from power by him sooner or later, but she was worried that Cui Qinggong would shake out some shocking stories under the annoyance, such as the death of the first emperor Li family

For this reason, Cui Xiaofu has been restless for a month, she kept sending people to persuade Cui Qinggong to restrain his subordinates and stop doing those things that people and gods are angry about, but Cui Qinggong ignored her at all, he only had one sentence, as long as Cao Yun changed his original path, all the problems were solved logically, and the implication was to ask Cui Xiaofu to solve his needs for money and food for a long time.

Of course, Cui Xiaofu couldn't do this, and this matter dragged on, but I didn't expect that only one month later, Cui Qinggong did the slaughter of the city, which led to the outbreak of a large march of 500,000 people, and Cui Xiaofu's heart was completely cold to the freezing point.

"Queen Mother, Pei Xiangguo urgently asks to see you!" A eunuch hurried into the inner palace to report.

At this moment, Cui Xiaofu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror combing her long hair, in the bronze mirror was a miserable white face without a trace of blood, she didn't seem to hear the eunuch's report, only looked at herself in the mirror, she had never been so lonely as today, no friends, no relatives, suddenly, she began to think strongly of Li Chuanyun who died in the fire, and a teardrop slipped down her strong face unconsciously.

"Queen Mother, Pei Xiangguo urgently asks to see you." Feng Endao, who was next to her, quietly reminded her again.

"No need, please tell Pei Xiangguo that this matter will be discussed at the cabinet meeting tomorrow, and the mourning family is unwell, so I won't see him." Cui Xiaofu replied extremely weakly.
