Chapter 383: Family, Country, and World (2)
"Grandpa Bian, do you still know me?" Chen Sangui saw Bian Lingcheng walking out of the camp gate, so he hurriedly dismounted. Hurried to meet it.
Bian Lingcheng was exposed to the direct sunlight and couldn't see his face clearly for a while, and he suddenly found out when he got closer. The person who came turned out to be Chen Sangui, Li Longji's personal guard deputy.
As if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, he suddenly panicked, and Chen Sangui's arrival also meant that Li Longji knew about his military training in Fengtian.
More than a dozen soldiers noticed that the situation was different and gathered together. Surrounded by Bian Lingcheng's side, this also eased Bian Lingcheng's tension slightly. He settled down and asked, "Guard Chen." Where are you from? ”
Chen Sangui's smile was still the same, not moved by the vicious eyes next to him, and he took out a letter. Said: "This is written by your old master, do you want to see it?" ”
Bian Lingcheng's heart immediately became nervous, boom! Knock" jumped up, he looked around and said:
"This is my old man, there is no malice, you step back first!"
He immediately stared at Chen Sangui's hand and said, "Guard Chen." Please come to the tent and talk about it! ”
"Father-in-law Bian, the Emperor wants to make a comeback, do you know?" As soon as Chen Sangui sat down, he went straight to the topic.
Bian Lingcheng was silent, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it. He didn't know how, so he hid in Fengtian County to train soldiers. One of the reasons was that they didn't want Li Longji to know that they had returned to Beijing, but they still found themselves.
"Is that letter for me?" Bian Lingcheng's voice had begun to tremble slightly.
"Naturally!" Chen Sangui handed over the letter with a smile, he seemed to be rough, but in fact he was extremely careful. He picked up his teacup and sucked on it. But he took Bian Lingcheng's every subtle movement and every subtle expression into his eyes.
Bian Lingcheng's face became extremely pale, and his whole body trembled slightly, and Li Longji severely reprimanded him for his betrayal in his heart and gave him a chance. If he brings troops to vote, he will be named the general of Zuo Yu Fengjun and the prince of Fengtian County in the future, and if he is obsessed, he will be used to warn the eunuchs in the future.
Although Li Longji did not say what method to use to warn the eunuchs, Bian Lingcheng still guessed from Chen Sangui's knife-like gaze that he might want to record his own skin.
One of Bian Lingcheng's biggest advantages over other eunuchs is that he knows Li Qing very well. As early as Anxi, he seized the power of Gao Xianzhi from Li Qing. It is clear that he is a kind-hearted person, and he will not be tolerant at all.
So now, although it seems that Li Qing is in charge of the dynasty alone, and the emperor is just a decoration, Bian Lingcheng understands very well in his heart that even if it is a decoration, Li Qing also chose Li Yu, and he will never allow Li Longji to be reset, Li Longji's idea is really wishful thinking, once Li Qing is shocked, the conflict between him and Li Longji is inevitable. Don't look at everyone supporting Li Longji now! But if there is no military power! Farts are all shiaki have.
After a long time, he finally raised his head and said word by word: "Guard Chen." Please tell the Emperor.
Bian Lingcheng will never dare to betray the Lord! ”
Perhaps bewildered by Bian Lingcheng's fear, Chen Sangui didn't hear the ambiguity in Bian Lingcheng's words for a while, he immediately stood up and smiled: "Bian Gonggong has the best general knowledge!" I will reply to Your Majesty, waiting for your good news! ”
Wait for Chen Sangui to leave. Bian Lingcheng gradually crumpled the letter into a ball! He resolutely got up, strode out of the tent, and said, "Order the brethren to pack up their things at once, and follow me out of the camp!" ”
Li Yu was mixed in the carriage of the Ministry of Rites and returned to the Daming Palace, for the strange behavior of this powerless emperor, the Fang Pavilion did not ask much, the Emperor Taishang knew that he went to the various ministers' mansions to win support, he Li Yu should be the same, I don't know whose mansion he went to last night, Fang Lang felt very lucky.
He didn't come to himself. Otherwise, it's really hard to balance the two. Since I don't want to care! The best thing to do is not to get down to business.
Thereupon. , pay attention to the body, get expensive early, a kind of words, Fang Lang said all the way, but he was worried that he didn't mention half a sentence of political affairs, diverting the attention of the leaders, and it has been a good prescription for concealment since ancient times.
However, Li Yu is really tired, the heat of last night's military exercise has passed, and the words of the mansion make him even more drowsy. He dragged his tired body back to the imperial study. He immediately closed the door and ordered that no one should be disturbed today.
But just after noon, Bian Lingcheng's urgent request to see him drove his exhaustion away without a trace, and the Emperor Taishang already knew that he was training his private army.
Li Yu paced back and forth uneasily in the room with his hands behind his back. The room was very hot, he took out a handkerchief from time to time to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, since Li Yu implicitly told him that the emperor had regained ambitions, Li Yudi no longer had the luxury of overthrowing Li Qing and seizing power, how to keep his throne is the top priority.
He also knows. If you want to keep your throne. Relying on the Yulin Army is unreliable. You must have an army in your hands to save your life, and now fortunately, Bian Lingcheng did not betray him, so that he finally kept his only reliance.
"Your Majesty, Li Shangshu is here, waiting outside the door!"
"Let him in!" Li Yu sighed secretly. He couldn't help but feel a trace of remorse in his heart, and it was only today that he finally understood the true meaning of the master's forbearance. Li Qing's dictatorship is not terrible. The terrible thing is that Li Longji, who is unwilling to be lonely, and a group of princes who hate him to the bone, only after he sits firmly on the throne and Li Longji is gone, can he consider the issue of regaining imperial power.
"Your Majesty!" Li Yubi respectfully kowtowed to Li Yu! Lying motionless on the ground.
Li Yudi's nose suddenly soured. A strong sense of guilt almost made him kneel, but Bian Lingcheng was beside him, making him restrain his impulse.
"Master. Get up, please! Li Yu gently helped Li Yu up, and personally moved an embroidery pier and asked him to sit down.
A sound, master, made Li Yu stunned, and he looked at Li Yu blankly. Suddenly reading a trace of remorse in his eyes, Li Yu's heart was sour, and he finally understood his hard work.
Now, Li Yu didn't want to hide it anymore, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally had to bite the bullet and whispered: "Master, Bian Lingcheng has trained three thousand military horses for Lian, Lian shouldn't hide it from the master!" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Mi's eyes. He seemed to think of something, and immediately turned around and asked Bian Lingcheng, "Could it be the army of Fengtian?" ”
Li Yu was stunned, "The master already knows?" ”
Li Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "It's not an ant hidden in the ground, three thousand people, how could I not know that someone in the military department has already reported this matter." ”
Speaking of this, Li Mi's face suddenly changed greatly. Staring straight out of the window, he suddenly remembered that the squire of the military department was Wang Changling, and since he knew, Li Qing must also know. It has been almost half a month since Fengtian became an army, but Li Qing let it go. Isn't it
Li Mi was already covered in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized that Li Qing left Li Longji in Macpo, and I am afraid that it is used today, could it be that he set up this bureau? Otherwise, how to explain that he personally led the crusade?
"Master. What happened? ”
Li Yu noticed that Li Mi's expression was different. He asked worriedly: "Is the Ministry of War going to take over this army?" ”
Li Mi frowned, and he shook his head slowly, "No, don't worry!" ”
Now things are getting more and more complicated. He found that he realized that Li Qing's conspiracy could not break the situation. Li Longji is already imperative, this is a typical crane and clam competition, fishermen profit, the problem is that he still can't see through Li Qingdi's efforts 1K mobile station ap. If he wants to change others, he can directly find an excuse to abolish Li Yu, so why bother to make this big turn. Rao is Li Mi wants to break his head. He never expected that the grandson of King Ning would be just scraped by him outside the ground, it was Li Qingzhi.
"Master. The Emperor Taishang already knew about Bian Lingcheng's military training. I also sent someone to woo him, what should I do now? "Li Yu has been in chaos, and now Li Yu is the only one he can rely on.
Li Yudi's thoughts were pulled back, he pondered Pian Gu, and first asked Bian Lingcheng: "Where are your soldiers stationed now?" ”
"I have already led the army out of Mukden in the morning, and I am now in Gaoling County."
"Then bring the army back tonight and don't go into the city. Go around the city to the back of the Daming Palace, and be stationed outside the Chongxuan Gate! ”
After speaking. Li Yu hurriedly turned back to Li Yu and said, "Your Majesty will immediately move Tai into the palace to live." issued an edict again to ask Li Qing for help. I'm going to find Lifei Yuanli now. Probe his tone first. Let's see if he can help us! ”
"Has it come to this?"
Li Yu heard that Taiye was going to move into Daming Palace. Finally began to realize that the situation was even more severe than he thought, his lips bit white, his eyes stared at Li Yu's eyes tightly, and said, "Master told me the truth, what step the Emperor Taishang has already taken." ”
Li Mi sighed softly. "Yesterday Wei Jiansu has gone to see him for the second time, and he has been in Xingqing Palace for half an hour, I think, even Wei Jiansu has also expressed his position, then his preparations are almost over, originally I planned that Your Majesty would be better able to go out of Huangguan to engage in labor soldiers in front of the enemy, at least to save his life, now since there is an army, the situation is different, we can completely fight with Yibo, now the key is the attitude of the Yulin Army, if they can stand on our side......"
Speaking of this, Li Mi's gaze gradually became fierce, and he said categorically: "Then we might as well strike first!" ”
Li Mi was like a machine that was activated, and began to move around non-stop, and he first found Li Fei Yuanli, the right general of the Yulin Army, who was responsible for defending the palace. Now he has become the most critical one in the entire chess game, if his guess is true, then Li Qing will definitely explain something to Li Fei Yuanli in advance.
The base camp of the Yulin military land is in the West Inner Garden. There were lodging places and official offices, and originally there were all officials such as Changshi, marching Sima, judges, and Cao, but Li Longji's escape caused all the local officials to be scattered. No one cleaned up the official office, and the artemisia grass that was one person tall had grown, and it was the middle of winter, the grass and trees were withered, full of barrenness, and the indescribable sadness and coldness, but Lifei Yuanli did not have so many people's sad autumn feelings, in his opinion. Such a spacious and elegant room is a thousand times better than the cave he lived in when he was the head of the horse bandits, and the barracks where he slept when he was a Tang general. What is a barracks without grass?
Due to the small number of troops, most of the soldiers went to duty, only the soldiers who came back from last night's shift were noisily eating lunch, a soldier pointed for a long time, Li Yu saw Li Fei Yuanli holding a big bowl, squatting in the soldiers' pile like a bandit head and shaving rice with relish, without the majesty of a loyal general, at this time he got a report from the soldiers, poked up his huge head and looked here, and suddenly saw Li Yu. He grinned. The expression was as if Li Mi was a delicious and delicious dish.
"Li Shangshu let's eat a little together!" Li Fei Yuanli strode up and said with a smile. "Thank you!
I've already eaten. There is an important matter to come to General Lifei. ”
Li Yu glanced at the chaotic scene, and glanced at Li Fei Yuanli, meaning to let him talk in another place, and Li Fei Yuanli laughed. Pose for an invitation, "Please come to my official office to talk!" ”
"Li Shangshu is in charge of the military department, and it is still our military boss, but I haven't visited him once, which is really rude!" Li Fei Yuanli said that it was rude. But he sat on the ground with a big thorn. I drank a big cup of tea, and I didn't think about giving myself land at all. Boss, pour a glass of water.
Li Yu didn't care about this, he pondered for a moment, and then got straight to the point: "General Lifei is in charge of the security of the palace, and the responsibility can be described as a great one, but the emperor said. Recently, there are often unfamiliar faces in the palace, which makes him very worried, and the carriages of officials in the past are not allowed to enter Danfeng Gate. Now it seems that it doesn't matter, even those coachmen and horse disciples can set foot on the imperial court military aircraft in a grand manner, it is really unseemly, I don't know if it is because the Yulin army is insufficient, or if there is another reason? ”
Li Fei Yuanli laughed, and said bluntly: "Li Shangshu is also straightforward in asking, I like it." It's not as twisted and winding as Fang Shangshu and Pei Shangshu asked, and they can't talk about it for a long time! It's boring for Lu, that's good! It's my lack of troops. These thousand people have to take care of the front hall and the inner palace, and they are divided into two classes, which is really a bit stretched. So there are some places that are a little relaxed, but the emperor's personal safety will not be a problem. And as long as the general returns, this situation can be solved. Li Shangshu, please tell the emperor, it's almost over! How many more days will it take? ”
"Is there any news from Xiangguo?"
Li Mi suddenly heard the clue of Li Fei Yuanli's words. Li Qing led his troops eastward. So far, there has been no news from me, and I don't know how the war is going. Only some businessmen said that the army had arrived in Zhengzhou and Heyang, but these were rumors in the market and could not be true. It stands to reason that the military department should control the movement of the army at any time, but there is no news so far, and it is obvious that Li Qing specially blocked the battle situation. And Li Fei Yuanli is Li Qing's cronies, he should know something.
Li Fei Yuanli's eyes flickered, he leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "I also just got a little news, and I really don't hide it, Li Xiangguo has already taken Xiangzhou." Now I am on my way back to Beijing. As for where it is now. I don't know. ”
Li Yuyan's anxiety was already revealed, and he was a little restless. Li Qing's return to Beijing means that the Li Long base operation is about to begin.
The red and black sticks of the guards were swift and ruthless. Falling like raindrops, Chen Sangui clenched his teeth and beat him with a stick, his face was pale, beads of sweat were already flowing all over his face, and Li Longji's eyes next to him were terrifyingly cold. If his gaze could kill. That Chen Sangui has died many times.
Since his decision to reinstate, the road has been smooth, except for military power. All the land plans were implemented one by one, even the most difficult fifth chair was silent to show his position, but in what he thought was the easiest link, there was an accident in recruiting Bian Lingcheng, the soldiers of Fengtian disappeared, but Bian Lingcheng appeared in Daming Palace, so his plan was disrupted.
Li Longji stared at Chen Sangui viciously, all of this was caused by this idiot, he didn't even stare at Bian Lingcheng, but came back first, Li Longji was extremely upset, he just got the news that Li Qing had taken Xiangzhou five days ago. Although the army walked slowly, it should have reached Luoyang.
He has no time left, and Chen Xuanli's soldiers have not yet been completed, in his words, military discipline has been abandoned for a long time, and it will take at least three months to become an army.
At this time, Luo Fengxian walked quickly to Li Longji's side, he secretly glanced at Chen Sangui, who was already dying, and reported it a little frightened. "Emperor Taishang, General Chen is here!"
"Bring him to my ashram!"
Li Longji glanced at Chen Sangui coldly, made an unforgiving gesture, and then turned around and walked towards the quiet room.
In a moment, Chen Xuanli was ushered into the quiet room. His face was quite haggard and mentally exhausted, which was the reason why he had not slept for two nights, and Li Longji ordered him to complete the whole army within ten days, but these former Diyulin troops were usually deserted in training, and now they have been scattered for nearly a year, and they are no different from the people in the market. He recruited them in the form of private troops, and the soldiers thought that they had given too little money and food. The officers were also dissatisfied with the false titles, and he worked for several days as if he were exhausted before he could barely calm them down.
It has only been less than ten days of training, and Li Longji ordered him to form an army within three days, and now that he has been called here, I am afraid that something will happen.
Without waiting for Chen Xuanli to sit down, Li Longji went straight to the point: "Your son's son may use it tonight?" ”
"Tonight?" Chen Xuanli only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was almost stunned, and he took a deep breath. Hurriedly said: "Emperor Taishang, they have been abandoned for too long, and they have almost no combat power, and besides, give the minister five days, and the minister will definitely pull out an army after five days." ”
Li Longji's face suddenly sank. He snorted heavily, "If you wait five days, Li Qing has already returned in the morning, and you can't wait any longer, I have already decided to act tonight!" ”
"But ......," Chen Xuanli still had to plead. But Li Longji waved his hand to stop his words, stared at his eyes and said coldly: "I have already found out, Bian Lingchengdi's army has just been recruited, and it is even worse than you, so don't be arrogant, as for the action plan, I will give it to you at night, and you are ready to go!" ”
