Chapter 377: Luoyang Changes (4)
When Zi Min heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "At least we can resist for a while, just now we are outside, and we have already seen someone coming, but this person is cautious, and after watching it for a while, he will come and return, I am afraid that he was frightened by his uncle's arrangement." ”
Li Shentong shook his head and said, "Since I can sneak in here quietly, my arrangement here is probably like child's play for him." ”
I said, "Uncle don't worry, let's stay here for the time being to ensure my uncle's safety." ”
Li Shentong waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary, the key is still in Luoyang." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "With our strength, confronting the group of people that my uncle spoke of is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and since they are holding hostages, they must have something to ask for...... No matter what he wants to do, he has to ask for a right name, so Luoyang will not be good for the time being, but you outside Luoyang are their henchmen. ”
Li Shentong said with a smile: "Leading the troops outside, even Your Majesty must be afraid in his heart, let alone them?" ”
In Guanzhong, the intelligence network of Qingyu Pavilion was not too bad, and the news reached Chang'an within a few days.
I don't know much about the group of people who openly hold courtiers hostage, and when I asked Li Shentong, he was also at a loss, leading the troops outside, and all he heard were paraphrases, and even some were just rumors.
He didn't see it with his own eyes, and the information I got was very limited, although I suspect that it was indeed the people from the former Shence Camp who were making a difference, but Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji have broken up, and Yu Wenzhi and I don't know where to go, these people have their own ghosts, who are they?
Another day passed, and after nightfall, Zimin and I stayed by Li Shentong's side in case of accidents.
On this day, someone happened to break in.
It was very similar to what happened to us, he was also surrounded by soldiers in the courtyard, and Zimin and I looked at each other, thinking about the person who came and went that day.
Li Shentong treated us the same as before, and opened the door to the people outside: "What do you want to visit at night?" ”
Zimin and I came out behind Li Shentong and looked at the firelight, it was none other than Tang Lin.
After Li Shentong said this, he also recognized Tang Lin by the firelight, but he looked at him suspiciously, and did not let the people around him retreat, but said, "Tang Lin, where are you from?" ”
Tang Lin saw this kind of formation, and arched his hand and said, "The last general will come from Luoyang." ”
Li Shentong smiled faintly and said, "From Luoyang? I heard that Luoyang City is now forbidden to enter and exit, how did you get out? ”
Tang Lin said: "Killed the gatekeeper, grabbed a fast horse, and rushed over." ”
Seeing that Li Shentong didn't believe it, Zi Min walked down the steps and came to Tang Lin to say to Li Shendao: "Uncle don't be suspicious. ”
Li Shentong saw that Zimin walked in front of Tang Lin, and was about to stop him, but I moved and stopped: "Uncle, slow down." ”
Li Shentong glanced at me, and stopped talking.
Zimin stood in front of Tang Lin, and after saying this to Li Shentong, he turned around and asked Tang Lin again: "It's been hard all the way, I don't know what happened to them in the city?" ”
Tang Lin said, "Those people ...... The people who held us hostage were really not weak, and I managed to escape with great difficulty. ”
Li Shentong hesitated for another moment before waving his hand to let the soldiers retreat.
Tang Lin's arrival gave us an idea of what was going on in Luoyang's variables.
It turned out that Li Youliang led the idle errand in Luoyang not long ago, someone bought him with a lot of money, he was a royal family member, Li Xuanba actually did not have a forbidden army in Luoyang, and he was guarded by Li Shentong's former subordinates, about 2,000 people, and the rest of the people were returned to Li Shentong by Li Xuanba when the war in Hedong was tense.
In the past, Li Youliang often mixed up in Li Shentong's army, and Li Shentong didn't do anything to him because of his feelings, but he made friends with a lot of people.
When Li Xuanba was busy dealing with the war in Hedong and Hebei, he took the opportunity to open up the joint with his friends in the army and take people in and out of the palace.
Sanniang and Chai Shao returned to Luoyang for help when the Hedong campaign was tight, and it was at this time that rumors about Li Xuanba suddenly spread all over the world, and the people of Luoyang were unstable, Sanniang and Chai Shao only sent troops to go, but they themselves stayed.
Just a few days later, Li Youliang took advantage of the night to bring those people with extraordinary skills through a secret exit in the palace wall, killed all the forbidden troops guarding the palace gate, and replaced them with their own people who had been prepared for a long time.
After listening to Tang Lin's story, I was shocked, the huge Xianren Palace, the civil and military ministers who were dissatisfied with the court, and no one noticed that something was wrong before this? I then looked at Zimin and Li Shentong, and their expressions told me that they had the same doubts as me.
Tang Lin then explained: "Your Majesty once drove the expedition in person, probably at that time, the plan had already begun, and everyone thought that Li Youliang was a mediocre person, and no one thought that he would rebel so much. ”
Things have come to this point, and it is useless to say anything, but Luoyang, which has finally stabilized a little bit, has become chaotic again, and I feel very uncomfortable somehow.
Zimin sensed my emotions and comforted: "Big brother, since there is still room for things to turn around, it is useless to do your best, and then investigate the antecedents." ”
Her words are naturally good, and I know the reason, but she is still very angry, and it took a while to settle down and ask: "Since he has held the monarch of Luoyang hostage, he must have some scheme, do you know what he wants to do?" ”
Tang Lin seemed to ponder for a while before he said, "I occasionally hear from the people who guard us that their masters seem to have the ambition to win the world, but as for what they want to do, they are not clear for a while. ”
Li Shentong also said: "Yes, after such a stalemate, they have never had any contact with us, nor have they negotiated with us, so they don't know what they want." ”
There was silence in the study for a moment, and Zi Min suddenly whispered to me: "Big brother, is it ......?"
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to my senses: "This person ...... Is it to wait for me to send it to the door? ”
Tang Lin heard the words and said, "Pavilion ...... Why? "I am the identity of the Lord of the Qingyu Pavilion, many people don't know about it, Tang Lin realized this problem before he spoke, so he changed his words.
Zi Min said: "What does the eldest brother mean, could it be that these people colluded with Liu Zhenghui to arrest me that day?" ”
I nodded, Tang Lin and Li Shentong didn't know much about the plot here, so they looked at me with some doubts.
Thinking that these people were waiting for me to go, I was a lot more relieved, sang and harmonized with Zimin, and told them all kinds of things that happened in Chang'an in a slow and methodical manner.
After hearing this, Tang Lin frowned and said, "Sir, if we fight hard, I don't think we are their opponents." ”
