Text Chapter 507 Strange rebels
On the Qizhou side, the factor of rebellion has long been planted.
His uncle never forgot who his father died at, and he used his nephew, Li You, the king of Qi, as a bargaining chip since he was a child. And with these, there is the capital to promote their rebellion.
When he grew up, Li You was arrogant and extravagant, rampant and lawless, and he was more or less restrained when he was in Beijing, and he was not very old at that time, but when he was enthroned in Qizhou and the emperor was far away, the people of Shandong suffered.
With such a traitorous king who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil, the people under the domain are miserable. Over time, news reached Beijing.
At that time, Li You's long history was Xue Dading, Li Shimin thought that the long history was incompetent, as an auxiliary minister, he did not fulfill his responsibilities and dismissed him, and transferred the long history of Li Ke, the king of Wu, to be the long history of King Qi, so as to discipline his unconscious son.
Quan Wanji is an upright person, upright, and came with the holy decree, and he is really not afraid of King Qi. At that time, there were Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, just like Luo Badao and Su Gan Chengji beside the crown prince Li Chengqian, who were excellent in martial arts, riding and shooting, and were very favored by Li You.
But these two people misbehaved, and after winning the favor of King Qi, they had many illegal acts. Changshi Quan Wanji showed no mercy, reprimanded them many times, and drove them out of the Qi Palace.
But the king of Qi has developed a rebellious character, and as soon as Quan Wanji drove them away, the king of Qi summoned them back, rewarded them, and used them even more.
This time, King Qi and Changshi Quan Wanji have just gotten married.
As soon as Quan Wanji saw that Li You, the king of Qi, came forward to protect these two domineering lawbreakers, he ran back to Chang'an in a fit of anger to sue the emperor, and as a result, Li Shimin rewarded Quan Wanji and issued a decree to severely reprimand the king of Qi. He also sent the captain Jingzhao Wei Wenzhen to serve as the pawn army of Li You's palace, one article and one martial art, to assist the king of Qi.
Li Shimin's mentality is probably a parental mentality. The teacher ran to say that your son was stubborn, and when he was a parent, he apologized to the teacher with a smiling face, and then put on a good cigarette and two bottles of good wine, and then called his son out to beat and scold, saying that he would never cover up, and asked the teacher to discipline him more.
But Li You, the king of Qi, didn't think so, so he hated Quan Wanji even more.
His uncle Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin took the opportunity to slander him, and Li You, who was led crooked by Yin Hongzhi since he was a child, was not only arrogant and perverse, but also arrogant, and gradually regarded Quan Wanji and Wei Wenzhen as enemies.
Su Youdao Qizhou and his entourage got on the line with Yin Hongzhi, and with the prince as the internal response, Yin Hongzhi immediately started his rebellion in full swing, but how could his actions be completely hidden from the ears and eyes of Long Shi Quan Wanji and Wei Wenzhen.
On this day, Quan Wanji found Wei Wenzhen.
Wei Wenzhen and Quan Wanji were both sent by the imperial court, one literary and one martial. However, after all, Wenwu Shutu, plus they are all officials of the Beijing faction, there is actually a competitive relationship, so there is not much contact between them.
As soon as he saw Quan Wanji coming to the door, Wei Wenzhen was a little puzzled.
Quan Wanji was open and honest: "Brother Wei, the situation in Qizhou has been a little weird recently. ”
Wei Wenzhen was puzzled: "What's weird?" ”
Quan Wanji said: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness asked me for the books of the people of Qizhou, and on the second day, he asked for money and food, which is really unfathomable. ”
Wei Wenzhen smiled: "Isn't it a good thing that His Highness is willing to care about Li Shu?" ”
Quan Wanji shook his head again and again: "What is Your Highness like, you also know that the military and political affairs of the state and county have never been too lazy to ask, is this a habit that can be changed when you can say it?" Moreover, Yin Hongzhi, Yan Jingxin, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and others frequently go in and out of the palace, but there is no dance and music banquet, which is really not like their usual performance. ”
When Wei Wenzhen heard him say this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
The two of them are very unhappy with King Qi, but whenever they meet, they don't have a good color, so they don't usually have much contact, and Wei Wenzhen is a pawn army, and King Qi wants to rebel, especially to avoid him, so it is better for Quan Wanji to feel that something is wrong first.
But when the two talked about it, they didn't get to the point. Because at this time, the Tang Dynasty was the time when the national strength was thriving, the lord was virtuous and the ministers were bright, and there were many talents, but anyone who had a little brain, no matter how ambitious he was, would not choose this time to rebel. How could they think of rebellion?
But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, let alone a forest as big as Datang.
In order to keep his position, the prince planned to take risks.
Yang Qianye, the former princess of the Sui Dynasty, also struggled in every way in order to recover the Great Sui.
Next is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the three of them are not normal people.
The prince had no choice, seeing that the emperor's father was becoming more and more unkind to him, he knew since he was a child that the seat that would definitely belong to him in the future was about to return to the little fat man, and he was unwilling.
Yang Qianye is hated by the country and the family, although the death of her father and emperor is not on Li Shimin's head, but if she wants to restore the country, she can only overthrow Li Tang's rule, so since she was a child, Mo Baiyan and other eunuchs combined restoration and revenge into one, and counted them all on Li Shimin's head, and instilled this concept in her.
And the same is true of Li You, his uncle Yin Hongzhi, who is bent on avenging his father, has been planning since Li You was still very young. Li Chengqian and Yang Qianye both knew how strong the strength of the Tang Dynasty was now, but they had to resort to force.
And Li You, the king of Qi, is different, this prince who grew up in the deep palace really doesn't know how big the world is, and he doesn't know how strong his emperor father is, he thinks that rebellion is a very simple thing, so this absurd rebellion drama was staged so rashly.
Quan Wanji found Wei Wenzhen, and after some research, he couldn't figure it out, so Quan Wanji said: "No!" I don't know what His Royal Highness King Qi is going to do, no matter how domineering he used to be, he always only tossed in the palace and this Qizhou city, if he is asked to fight the idea of thousands of Li Shu in Qizhou, then the matter will be serious. I have to find out, and if there is really anything wrong, I will immediately return to Beijing and report to the Son of Heaven. ”
Wei Wenzhen thought about it, it stands to reason that if he finds anything illegal, he should be advising King Qi while playing the court, but with King Qi's domineering strength and the bad relationship with them, it must be useless to advise.
At that time, the king of Qi may have to fight against Quan Wanji, this is not impossible, when the two sides fell out before, the king of Qi had a horsewhip and wanted to smoke Quan Wanji, but fortunately he stopped him.
Thinking of this, Wei Wenzhen nodded and said, "It's okay." I'll also inquire here, to see what His Highness is going to do, if His Highness really has any illegal acts, the two of us can't persuade him, you go to the capital, I'll watch here, try to persuade him. ”
The plan of the two has been decided, and Quan Wanji went to inquire.
If you want to rebel, you have to prepare weapons and food, and you have to recruit troops and horses, how can this be concealed? What's more, on the few green onions under the command of Li You, the king of Qi, none of them really have the talent to seek the country, once they decide to rebel, all kinds of preparations are full of loopholes, and at this time, there are already people in Qizhou who say that the king of Qi is going to rebel. These two ministers, who were sent by Li Shimin to assist their sons, were kept in the dark.
Quan Wanji's investigation was only frightened, and at this time, the news that he inquired about King Qi's movements also reached the ears of King Qi, and Li You immediately sent Yan Hongliang to lead people to control him.
Quan Wanji didn't even dare to return home, so he immediately left Beijing and fled to Chang'an.
Yan Hongliang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people out of the city.
Quan Wanji ran to the bank of the Yufu River, but found that there was no boat......
The ferries near Qizhou have been requisitioned by the King of Qi, anyway, it is an inland river, and they don't care about big boats and small boats, just if they can carry people and goods, His Royal Highness the arrogant and ignorant King Qi is ready to use these small boats to break the boat and fight all the way to Chang'an.
Quan Changshi was struggling to find a boat, and Yan Hongliang caught up.
On the banks of the Yufu River, Quan Wanji was shot by twenty knights, and the clear river water was instantly stained red by the blood of his men and horses.
Judging from Yan Hongliang's actions, their reaction is not unpleasant, but you are going to rebel, and the people sent to you by the emperor will be killed decisively and resolutely! This group of fools who only have a rebellious heart, but no ability to rebel, didn't even think of Wei Wenzhenlai after shooting Quan Wanji.
Wei Wenzhen has also been thinking about it since he talked to Quan Wanji last time. He was investigating what the King of Qi was doing, and the news that Quan Wanji rode the horse on the long street and escaped from Qizhou City reached his ears from the mouth of a subordinate in the mansion.
Immediately afterwards, it was the news that Yan Hongliang led twenty horsemen to chase after him murderously.
Wei Wenzhen was very decisive, he ran away immediately, and one would go west, one would go south, a good toss, in fact, no one chased him at all, and when King Qi found out that he had fled, it was already two days later, King Qi found that Wei Wenzhen had not run to the point of following the dislike, and he was very happy to tell others that after this person's eyesight had risen recently, everyone reacted in surprise:
it! Didn't he run away?
Wei Wenzhen changed his disguise, changed his means of transportation, changed his escape route, and tossed all the way to Texas without anyone tracking him. Here I bought a new horse to cross the river.
On the ferry, the ferry boat on the other side came, and pedestrians got off the boat one after another, carrying baskets, satchels, carts, and leading horses......
Rigan Chengji led the horse and got off the ferry, Wei Wenzhen hung his heart, kept looking back, and rubbed shoulders with Ugan Chengji.
Soon, the ferry swung back to the other side, and Su Gan Chengji stayed in Dezhou City, intending to rush to Qizhou the next day. If you rebel, you always have to make careful preparations, and when you are waiting for the weather outside, you don't need to be in such a hurry.
Su Gan Chengji followed Li Xiaochang to rebel and has some experience. Rebellion is a thing that few people encounter, and no one will learn this skill when they learn it, and they can't see it in the military book, so Su Gan Chengji, who has rich guerrilla experience and common sense of rebellion, is undoubtedly a treasure given by Su Youdao to King Qi.
However, the mud can't be pasted on the wall, not to mention, before the arrival of Su Ganchengji, the mud has been pasted on the wall. Poor Su Gan Chengji, when he rebelled in Lizhou, he had a favorable location but no time and people, and this time he came to Qizhou, there was no right time, place and people.
Compared with his brother who was chased by hundreds of horsemen on the embankment of the Yellow River, this brother seems to be more miserable......
