Cui Shi said: "Biting Jin did not disclose the specific situation, but he repeatedly told me to rush back to dissuade you from participating in any opposition to the imperial court.

The daughter heard the meaning of his words, the court must have noticed something, and made careful preparations, you must not make any risky moves. ”

When Cui Bingsheng heard this, he was secretly frightened. He said in his heart: "Cheng Yanjin is so anxious to let his daughter come back and tell him that it must be the eldest grandson Shunde and others who have been exposed." If the imperial court had prepared in advance, I am afraid that this matter would have been really dangerous. ”

He had a headache now, because Cui Minghui, one of the elders of the Cui clan, had already gone to Luoyang.

What to do?

Choi Byung-sung fell into deep thought. He was in a quandary right now.

If the imperial court has the upper hand, and the Cui family participates in the affairs of the eldest grandson Shunde and others, it will inevitably be wiped out!

However, if the eldest grandson Shunde and the others won, and he did not participate in it, the fate of the Cui family would be the same.

Now, Choi has come to a crossroads and must make a choice.

Cui Bingsheng asked: "Bite the gold and only say this, and there are no other hints?" ”

Cui Shi said: "No, but isn't this hint clear enough? ”

Choi Byung-sung fell silent again.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Cui Shi suggested: "Father, if it doesn't work, you can go and ask the bite gold in person?" ”

Cui Bingsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave immediately and go to Chang'an." ”

Sukoku Mansion.

"Father-in-law, it's great that you can come to Chang'an." Cheng Yanjin said happily.

"Son-in-law, I have something important to ask you." Cui Bingsheng said.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Please speak." ”

"What do you mean by asking Ying'er to go to me?" Cui Bingsheng said tentatively.

"Father-in-law, the fact that you are here today shows that you know everything in your heart. We understand that people don't say secret words, you are my father-in-law, we are a family, and I will tell you some things clearly.

Now the imperial court is fighting against the Tibetans, and there is a little situation in Persia. Someone took the opportunity to make trouble, but that was really a miscalculation.

Emperor Taizong is wise and martial, and his son is now the emperor, more than a step above Emperor Taizong.

I think I'm smart, but compared to the current emperor, even ten of them are tied together, and they are not opponents. Others want to go against the emperor, purely to die.

Let me tell you this, the Royal Home Office is not a dry meal, and the situation of those who want to make trouble has been basically mastered.

Father-in-law, I don't know how involved you are in this matter, if so, you should immediately stop the precipice, the Cui family can still be saved, otherwise, even the gods will not be able to save the Cui family. ”

When Cui Bingsheng heard this, he fully understood in his heart that the conspiracy of the eldest grandson Shunde and others had been mastered by others. In this case, it is impossible for the eldest grandson Shunde and others to have a chance of winning.

He thought about it again and again, and finally said, "Virtuous son-in-law, things are not good, I'm afraid I'm in trouble." He shook out the conspiracy of the eldest grandson Shunde and others.

After listening to his words, Cheng Yanjin's head was covered with cold sweat, and he said: "Thanks to you for telling the truth, otherwise it would be ......" He didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

East Palace.

Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to slack off, and asked to see Li Su overnight.

After listening to Cheng Yanjin's report, Li Yu said with relief: "Very good, it's a good thing that Cui's is not involved, otherwise, I will feel very embarrassed." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin was even more frightened in his heart - it turned out that the emperor had already known that the Cui family was involved.

Li Su said that the imperial court will not hold the Cui family responsible, and in the future, when the land reform is implemented, the imperial court will take care of the Cui family in policy.

Cheng Yanjin asked: "Your Majesty, now that the situation is clear, can you do it?" ”

Li Su nodded and said, "With Cui's confession, the facts of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Shunde and others have been confirmed, and we can act." ”

Li Su convened an emergency meeting overnight and issued an order to eliminate the rebels.

Mengjin County, north of Luoyang City.

Du He finally waited for the order, and he immediately led the army to Luoyang.

Luoyang.

On this morning, Bai Bird Zhixiangzi discussed with the eldest grandson Shunde and decided to officially start the incident this afternoon.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, went to convene a meeting of military generals to lay out a plan of action. Shiratori Tomokako excitedly went to see Li Ke.

"Li Lang." Tomokako Hakutori said kindly.

Li Ke said: "What is so happy? ”

Bai Tori Zhikako said: "The army of the imperial court has gone away, and today it is officially in Luoyang, and everyone supports you as the emperor." This is a rebellious instrument, you see. ”

Li Ke took the paperwork, and it was written: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said:

I, Li Ke, will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty from today, and my country name is Shunde.

Li rebelled and killed Emperor Taizong to usurp the throne with his own hands, which was a heinous crime.

I now issue an edict of rebellion, calling on my subjects to crusade against Li ......

Bai Bird Zhixiangzi said excitedly: "Li Lang, when Chang'an is conquered, you will sit on the emperor's throne, and the concubines are willing to be your queen and accompany you all day long." ”

Li Ke now looked at Bai Bird Zhixiangzi, and his heart was completely devoid of his previous passion, but deep fear and disgust.

Soon, the eldest grandson Shunde sent someone to report that the Luoyang Rebel Army had held a meeting to go out and ask Li Ke to speak.

For Li Ke, the real test is coming.

Li Ke said: "I'll make it easier first. ”

Bai Tori Zhikako sent several soldiers to follow Li Ke to the toilet.

Li Ke squatted there, anxious, he knew that as long as he appeared publicly in front of the rebels, the charge of rebellion would never be cleared away.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he broke his nose with a wave of his hand, bleeding out, then fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and "fainted".

The soldiers outside heard the movement and saw Li Ke like this, pinching his nose and carrying him out.

Seeing Li Ke's appearance, Bai Bird Zhikako suspected him of being a troublemaker, and asked the soldiers to pinch him, but Li Ke just didn't react.

Shiratori Tomokako had no choice but to let him into the room, she was not at ease, she had a plan, and whispered a few words to a soldier.

One of the soldiers said, "Madam, what should I do about this?" ”

Shiratori Tomokako said, "I don't know what to do? I'm going to ask Grandpa Guo. With that, the footsteps faded away, but the man hid aside.

After a while, a soldier pretended to walk in and said, "Grandpa Guo said that if he can't wake up, it will be useless, so kill him." ”

Another soldier said, "Okay, I'll go." With that, he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and walked into the house.

The soldier picked up a scoop of water and poured it on Li Ke's face, but Li Ke still didn't react.

The soldier muttered and said, "It seems that this guy really can't wake up." As he spoke, he raised his horizontal knife and slashed down. The blade grazed Li Ke's scalp and slashed to the ground.

Li Ke judged in his heart that at this time, they would not kill themselves, because he Li Ke was still valuable. He gritted his teeth and pretended.

The soldier, seeing that he was not reacting, walked out.

Li Ke heard him say outside: "Madam, he really fainted and didn't react. ”

Shiratori Tomokako said, "You take care of him, and tell me when he wakes up." ”
