Chapter 316: Dugu Huai'en's Rebellion (3)
"What, built you say again! What the hell is going on in Dugu Huaien's mansion!? Li Yuan's tone was full of anxiety, suspicion, and anger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Enlighten the Emperor! A few days ago, the master of Jingzhao Mansion reported to Erchen, saying that there was a foul smell in the mansion of Lord Dugu Huaien, and Erchen personally went to search in the mansion of Lord Dugu Huaien, and found that the entire mansion was empty. Erchen was afraid that Lord Dugu Huaien had been kidnapped by the enemy, so he hurried to report to his father that he knew. Li Jiancheng actually wants to say that Dugu Huaien is likely to have rebelled, but he still has some concerns in his heart - on the one hand, Dugu Huai'en is Li Yuan's maternal relative, and the family is huge, and there is no evidence that Dugu Huaien has rebelled, if he says it rashly, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction between Li Yuan and other members of the Dugu family, and second, Li Jiancheng also has a heart in his heart, Dugu Huai'en's family is huge, and the Dugu family is because of Dugu Xin and Gao Yu (Gao Yu is also called Dugu Yuan, The Dugu family raised Gao Yi single-handedly), there has long been a famous precept that they are not allowed to participate in the royal struggle, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have always wanted to win over the people of the Dugu family, but they have not succeeded. If Dugu Huaien can be saved this time, the Dugu family will be a powerful help for both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
"It's done! Although Lord Dugu Huai'en has now dissolved his title, the family power behind it is quite large, so you have to be very careful when you go! Most of the warriors around you have been sent out, so bring more guards with you! Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng had sent out a large number of guards around him, Xiong Kuohai escorted Di Renjie from the Turks, Kuoling was still in Jingzhou, Xue Lisu Dingfang and the newly recruited Xue Wanjun were now following Li Yuanji to fight in Mayi, Li Yuan was afraid that Li Jiancheng would not have enough guards around him, through these years of observation, Li Yuan now feels that Li Jiancheng is really too suitable as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, all internal and external troubles - such as the salt shortage in Guanzhong and stabilizing the hearts of the people in the Guanzhong area, There is also the public security management of Chang'an Sanfu, which is tightly organized under Li Jiancheng's planning, and everything is very stable. However, if Chang'an is out of Chang'an, especially in the era when the world is divided and there are many heroes, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Dou Jiande of Leshou, Fugongtuo of Jianghuai, and even Li Shimin and the Turks will not send assassins to carry out assassinations. Li Yuan was so concerned about Li Jiancheng's safety that Li Jiancheng felt a strong father's love.
"Please rest assured, my sons will be very careful." After returning to the East Palace, Li Jiancheng found Li Gang, Yu Zhining, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Huang Wenqing, Xu Jingzong, Feng Li, Feng Yi and other Wenchen generals from the East Palace, as well as Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan, as well as Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu:
"Lord Li Gang, Lord Yu Zhining."
"The humble minister is here!"
"Two adults, Chengdao and Chenglu's studies must not be wasted, and there will be two adults." Li Gang and Yu Zhining immediately got up and replied:
"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, the studies of the two little highnesses, the ministers must be good at supervising them, and they will never let the little highnesses be wasted." Li Jiancheng nodded, beckoned to Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu, and motioned for Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu to come over, Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu The two little boys walked over gently, and Li Jiancheng held Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu in his arms:
"Father!"
"Chengdao, Chenglu, my father went out this time, you must be obedient at home, don't be naughty, listen to your mother's words, and don't waste your homework, and your homework will be tested after your father comes back." Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu nodded lightly in Li Jiancheng's arms:
"Father, please rest assured, Chengdao will listen to the words of the mother and the teacher! I will also take good care of Brother Chenglu. ”
"Father, please rest assured, Cheng Lu listens to his mother and teacher the most, Cheng Lu hopes that his father can come back as soon as possible, and Cheng Lu will be spoiled in his father's arms." Li Chenglu is younger than Li Chengdao after all, so Li Chenglu likes to be coquettish more than Li Chengdao. Li Jiancheng took Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan's hands again and said:
"Wanzhen, Yan'er, your husband is not around, you have to take good care of yourself, after your father comes back, I don't want you two to lose weight!" Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan's eyes that had already cried were like ripe water peaches, and Li Jiancheng was sad to see them. After holding Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan in his arms and comforting them for a while, he said to Wang Gui, Huang Wenqing, Feng Li, and Feng Yi:
"Lord Wang Gui, those boys in the Young Guard Battalion, in addition to General Feng Li's frequent inspection of martial arts, you also have to lose your power and urge those boys to study more literature, and you must not abandon your studies!" Wang Gui is not like Li Gang and Yu Zhining, his mind is full of hierarchical concepts, relatively speaking, Wang Gui is more flexible, Wang Gui knows that Li Jiancheng for these young guards on the one hand let the young guards practice martial arts and war for a long time, and also let Wang Gui teach the young guards some articles, history, arithmetic and other homework, so that after Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, these young guards can not only be sent to the army as officers, but also can be delegated to the local area to be a local official, in time, in the future, It is difficult to guarantee that these young guards will not become a shepherd and a feudal official. And these people are not only Li Jiancheng's ministers of the palace, but also have a teacher-student friendship with Wang Gui, and there may be support for Wang Gui's descendants, so Li Jiancheng asked Wang Gui to teach those young guards some homework such as articles, history, and arithmetic, and Wang Gui immediately agreed, without the slightest refusal:
"Please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely disobey His Royal Highness the Prince's high expectations." Li Jiancheng nodded:
"Lord Huang Wenqing, after the palace leaves, you can dispose of the affairs of the prince's east palace after you report it to the crown princess."
"Yes! Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"Where are Feng Li and Feng Yi?" Feng Li and Feng Yi immediately agreed:
"Chen Feng is here!"
"Chen Feng Yi is here!"
"After the palace leaves, the two of you must defend well, and the defense of the palace must be extremely careful."
"Yes! The last will obey! Feng Li first agreed, but Feng Yi stepped forward and asked:
"Prince Qiyu, you don't bring any of my brothers, will there be any danger on the way!?" Li Jiancheng smiled, knowing that this Feng Yi was more important than his brother Feng Lilai's fame and fortune, but the time for Feng Yi to enter the East Palace was too short, and Li Jiancheng still needed to observe, although there was a recommendation from his brother Feng Li and Xu Jingzong's secret investigation, but Li Jiancheng was still not completely relieved, Li Jiancheng patted Feng Yi's shoulder and said:
"Feng Yi! You can rest assured, the palace will pay attention, this trip to the palace, I ordered you to quickly select a hundred capable young guards, in addition, the palace has mobilized the five hundred elite cavalry of the Chang'an guard battalion led by the captain of the guard battalion, the former East Palace guard Yang Wengan, Aiqing rest assured. Feng Yi heard that Li Jiancheng didn't mean to take himself out, so he didn't insist, but he still made up his mind in his heart that he must work hard and strive to enter the core of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible. The clan in their hometown is still waiting for the good news that the two brothers will get ahead! Li Jiancheng said to Xu Jingzong and Wei Zheng again:
"Jing Zongqing! You stay in Chang'an, responsible for the transmission and liaison of all kinds of news, preside over the central affairs, act cautiously in everything, and report more about everything! Although Xu Jingzong also wanted to follow Li Jiancheng out, but from Li Jiancheng's words, Xu Jingzong knew that Li Jiancheng's so-called central matter was the Qilin Secret Guard, and Li Jiancheng once said to Xu Jingzong when he formed the Qilin Secret Guard that intelligence work is nominally his own ears and eyes, but in fact determines the actions of the head, which is extremely important. immediately expressed his stance to Li Jiancheng:
"Please rest assured that the prince will do his best and die." The dialogue between Li Jiancheng and Xu Jingzong made Li Gang, Yu Zhining, Wang Gui and others extremely jealous of Xu Jingzong, because Li Gang, Yu Zhining, Wang Gui and the other three felt that although Xu Jingzong did not have the title of prime minister and prime minister, in Li Jiancheng's heart, he already had the status of prime minister and prime minister. The literati all despise each other. Li Jiancheng said to Wei Zheng again:
"Xuancheng, this time you go out with this palace, don't live up to the expectations that this palace expects of you."
"Thank you for your appreciation, the ministers have done their best to relieve His Royal Highness the Prince." Wei Zheng is resourceful, and Li Jiancheng's private morality is acceptable, so Wei Zheng has not been like a chattering old man as recorded in the history of Zhenguan Tang, not allowed this all day long, and not allowed that. However, this time, Wei Zheng felt that Li Gang, Yu Zhining, Wang Gui and Xu Jingzong's jealous eyes were all focused on himself. After Li Jiancheng finished ordering everything, he took Wei Zheng and the 100 capable young guards to the school field to join the 500 elite soldiers led by Yang Wengan. Longmen Ferry, the Tang Army's logistics grain and grass camp, Dugu Enping came to find Dugu Entai:
"Big brother, my father-in-law sent a message to say that Li Yuanji had also started to take action and launched a fierce attack on Mayi, and asked us to take immediate action to delay the offensive of the Tang army in order to save the overall situation." Dugu Entai was thinking about another thing:
"Eun Ping! How did you settle Lord Dugu's family, and whether the people who were detained were appropriate, Dugu Huaien was still asking me just now, how are his two sons doing now? Dugu Enping said to Dugu Entai indifferently:
"Hey! Big brother, don't worry! Lord Dugu Huaien's family and children are safe, and the people in charge of guarding them are all my confidants, everything is absolutely perfect. "'Of course it's perfect, all the slaves and maids of Dugu Huaien, as well as two concubines, two sons, and three daughters are all watched by Lord Yama, and they want to snatch people from Lord Yama, but there is no door.' Dugu Entai looked at Dugu Enping, his heart was full of doubts, Dugu Entai knew that in addition to being eccentric since he was a child, there was another point, Dugu Entai was not as good as Dugu Enping - that is, he was ruthless. Dugu Entai had a premonition in his heart that things might fail on Dugu Enping.
