Chapter 424: The Scales of History



After Li Mao struggled to break through the first encirclement, he suddenly heard a big chaos, and everyone shouted in unison: "Come out, come out, assassin come out!" It was these four bastards who stirred up our chickens and dogs in Chang'an City, and they were restless in sleep. Call me. ”

I don't know who took the lead in saying a beating, so the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs flew like raindrops towards the four men in shackles.

Li Mao's head buzzed, slapped his forehead, and shouted, "It's a step too late." ”

On the side, Qin Mo said with a smile: "Come early and come late, it's not the same, anyway, you can't do half the credit." ”

Li Mao sighed weakly, and Pegasus went to see Li Jiang. Told that the assassin had been arrested in the Chengde Jinju Academy, Li Jiang was shocked: "This is obviously someone framed and framed, and someone is playing a trick of transferring flowers and trees." ”

Li Mao said: "I also think that someone deliberately tried to muddy the water, but he was indeed arrested in the Chengde Jinju Academy." Wang Chengzong's black cauldron is afraid that it will be decided. ”

Li Jiang said: "The important thing is not whether Wang Chengzong carries the black cauldron or not, the fatal thing is that someone wants to take advantage of this to make waves, disrupt the established policy of the imperial court, and give up Huaixi to become virtuous." ”

Li Mao said: "Is there a remedy?" ”

Li Jiang shook his head and said: "If you are riding a tiger, you are afraid that it will be difficult." ”

Jingzhao Mansion captured the four assassins who assassinated Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng in Chengde Jinjuan, and this matter had spread throughout Chang'an City before Li Chun knew about it, and everyone knew about it. Li Chun was furious and ordered the people to be handed over to the Three Law Divisions, and the four confessed their guilt in the court, identifying the culprit behind the assassination of Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng as the self-proclaimed queen of Chengdeliu.

Tortured Wang Chengxian, the judge of the Chengde Jinju Academy, and replied that the four of them came from Chengde and stayed here for a month, leaving freely without anyone knowing what they were doing.

When the four were questioned about the assassination of Wu Yuanheng, it was exactly the same as the scene investigation and the confessions of Fang Guan and others.

The reason why Wang Chengzong sent people to assassinate Wu Yuanheng was that Wu Yuanheng advocated being tough on the feudal town and prevented the Son of Heaven from issuing a decree to grant him the right to recognize him as a hereditary and repetitive envoy.

The reason seems to be very sufficient, more than one person told Li Chun that Wang Chengzong was arrogant and domineering, commanding, he had a strict family education in his childhood, behaved in a proper manner, and was appointed as a general when he became an adult, and quickly became obsessed with hunting.

"This person is arrogant and accustomed to Chengde, he doesn't know the height of the sky, and when he heard that Wu Xianggong prevented him from taking over Zhenzhou, he was annoyed, and it was really not unusual to do such a bold and ridiculous thing."

Suddenly vomiting Chengguang's words, Li Chun will be suspicious, if Wang Chengzong can do such a thing, he doesn't think it's strange, these people are arrogant, they lack family education since they were young, and there is a share of Buddha who should kill Buddha, and God blocks the ruthlessness of killing God.

But this kind of thing happened at this juncture, it's a little strange, the court is about to crusade against Huaixi, but Wang Chengzong jumped out to assassinate the prime minister, is this covering for Huaixi, Wang Chengzong's arrogance is true, but not stupid, at this time to be the first bird, is not asking for his own death.

However, the case has already been decided, and without definite counter-evidence, he is a noble son of heaven and cannot overturn the retrial at will.

"What do you know, this may be a trick by Wu Shaoyang."

As soon as Li Chun scolded, he suddenly confessed to Chengxuan, saying that he was confused, and when Li Chun's anger disappeared, he said: "Wu Shaoyang is not surprising that the trick is not surprising, the strange thing is that the four assassins were indeed found in the Chengde Post House, they confessed and admitted by themselves, and Wang Chengxian and other witnesses also confirmed from the side that it was indeed the four of them." Jingzhao Mansion and Long Xiang's right army turned the capital upside down, toads and bedbugs flew all over the sky, this momentum can be big, think that although Wang Chengzong is arrogant, but he is not stupid, he is good, what do he do to hide people in his own yard? ”

Li Chun couldn't answer this, so he snorted.

Tutu Chengxuan continued: "The assassination of the prime minister of the dynasty is similar to the conspiracy of the court, and the court ...... Ting......"

Because he saw a sharp gaze, he suddenly swallowed back the following words and bowed his head silently.

"Do you want to fight Chengde?"

"Lu Congshi knows everything about Chengde, and he is sure of sending troops to Chengdechen, and if he lays down Chengde, the world will shake, and he can take it once and for all."

"Once and for all, how can it be so easy?"

"I am willing to do the power of dogs and horses."

Li Chun snorted and said, "You can take charge of the left army not because you have the ability, but because I spoil you." Do you know why Wu Yuanheng's wife asked me not to pursue the four assassins? ”

Tu Tu Chengguang said: "I'm afraid that people will say that she declares a personal vendetta and pretends to be a public servant." ”

Li Chun laughed, pointed to Tu Chengxuan's nose and scolded: "People often say that you people can't hold a bowl of soil in your stomach, I didn't believe it before, but now I look at it, it's true." ”

It's always easy to talk to Tutu Chengxuan, you can say whatever you want, you never need to think about it, you don't need to think about it, if you say it's wrong, it's a big deal. The Son of Heaven is a golden mouth in front of his ministers, and he needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, but he can have no scruples in front of domestic slaves. In front of the subjects of the world, the Son of Heaven must maintain his majesty and mystery, in front of the domestic slaves, but he is a living person, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, he has already seen through everything, and if he sees through it, he does not have to hide it, and then hide it, how tired it is to live.

Seeing that Li Chun was in a good mood, Tu Tu Chengguang got up and said, "Hey, it's okay who hid the soil in his stomach, how bad it is." I know what everyone means, you mean that the prime minister's stomach can accommodate a mountain, that is, the prime minister's wife is also broad-minded, and she is unwilling to force the court to change her original intention because of selfish interests. With such a mind, we only have admiration and admiration, which is really incomparable. We can't compare to his big mind, but we also have our benefits. ”

Li Chun smiled: "What's the benefit of you, tell me about it." ”

Tu Tu Chenghuang honestly and unceremoniously counted on his fingers. When he said a paragraph, Li Chun laughed once, leaving all his troubles behind.

……

"Now everyone outside is shouting to fight Hebei, if you don't beat everyone, you will be scolded by the world, but if you fight, you will not be sure of victory." Tu Tu Chengxuan took a sip of tea and continued, "But this battle is inherently impermanent, even if Pharmacist Li is reborn, he won't dare to say that he will definitely win." Let's take the responsibility for everyone and win, that is Your Majesty's great fortune, great talent, and wisdom, if you unfortunately lose, take me to fall. ”

There are some words that he dare not say in front of Li Chun, but he can say them bluntly in front of his adopted son Tu Chenghua.

Suddenly, Chenghua said: "Wouldn't my father suffer a loss by doing this?" Chengde is much more fierce than Huaixi, and Youzhou and Weizhou around Chengde wear a pair of pants with them, and Huaixi is the territory of the imperial court on all sides. ”

"The territory of the ghost court, is Li Shidao a person from the imperial court, is Han Hong a person from the imperial court, they are all people with ghosts in their hearts, your boss and I don't know how to fight, if there is no one close to me, how can this battle be fought?"

Tu Tu Chenghua said: "Isn't the child a close person next to his father, and the child also knows how to lead soldiers to fight." ”

Tutu Chengxuan smiled: "Silly boy, you can bring a few soldiers, the few soldiers you bring to catch the thieves and thieves, and you have to have thousands of troops and horses to pacify Huaixi, ten thousand soldiers and horses, black clouds cover the sky, 10,000 soldiers and horses are placed there, you can't see the edge at a glance, you can see you stunned, you don't understand, you don't understand, but don't pretend to understand." ”

Tutu Chenghua said: "The child understands, the father says what he wants the child to do, the child will do it, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, there is no ambiguity." ”

Tutu Chengxuan laughed and said: "Good boy, I won't let you be born and die, and I also point to you to wear linen and filial piety for your father-in-law, and send you to the end of your life." ”

Despite Wu Yuanheng's repeated dissuasion, the balance in Li Chun's heart slowly favored Chengde, he was too eager to be a master of Zhongxing, and since Huaixi's victory could not achieve him, then he moved his eyes to Chengde.

The emperor ignored the opposition of his ministers, conformed to the will of the people, and issued an edict to crusade against Chengde.

Regardless of the opposition of his ministers, the emperor issued an edict to Tutu Chengguang as the commander of all armies, and raised 200,000 troops to defeat Chengde.

The eunuch is the commander-in-chief, and he has the official name of commanding the army, which is the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Due to the sudden Tu Chengguang recital, Lu Congshi reinstated himself as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and returned to Zhaoyi to fight for the imperial army. Under the recommendation of Tutu Chengxuan, Lin Ying served as a staff officer of the camp, responsible for providing intelligence support for the army.
