Chapter 091: Each other's handles

Wang Shichong is scheming and calculating, and he has endured so far, and he is resolute when he moves. After a bloody storm www.biquge.info Luoyang City no longer dared to oppose him.

It was getting late and late, and Wang Shichong still had no intention of leaving the palace, surrounded by wisps of fresh breeze, which made people feel refreshed but uneasy.

"Li Mi's experience, King Zheng, do you think Datang will really let you live in retirement?" Yang Gao soothed and soothed his muscles and bones, looked at the beauty of the garden, and said regretfully: "Such a beautiful scenery is finally ruined in my hands, I knew that today, why did I pin the hope of the revival of the Great Sui on you?" ”

Thinking of the events of that year, Wang Shichong's face was a little ugly, and Duan Da carefully observed Wang Shichong's expression, nervous.

"As we all know, the first emperor loved His Majesty, and you will one day inherit the throne. At the beginning, Weichen was convinced that the first emperor could eliminate the rebels and return to Luoyang, so he was confused for a while, and in order to help His Majesty fight against the king of Yue, he accidentally made a big mistake. Wang Shichong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, this matter also has a great impact on Your Majesty's reputation, and there are very few people who know the truth. ”

"I see, no wonder you are in such a hurry to kill Yuan Wendu today." A smile appeared on Yang Gao's handsome face, looked at Wang Shichong and said, "Although Yuan Wendu is loyal to the imperial court, according to his temperament, how can I let him know about that?" After a pause, Yang Gao continued: "But I'm curious, since Duan Da will betray me, why does King Zheng dare to let him stand here? ”

Yang Gao said that he was standing here, naturally not saying that Duan Da should stand elsewhere, but asking why Duan Da was still alive.

Hearing Yang Gao's words, Duan Da's face became extremely ugly.

Duan Da just wanted to defend a few words, but before he could speak, Wang Shichong stood up and said with a smile: "General Duan can distinguish between right and wrong, and he is on the side of Weichen, how can Weichen lose him?" Knowing that the people agreed between Weichen and His Majesty are here, His Majesty's plan to sow discord is really naΓ―ve and ridiculous. ”

"Are you sure everyone knows the truth here?" Yang Gao raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "There are so many courtiers loyal to the imperial court in Luoyang City, does King Zheng think that he has finished killing?" ”

"The Emperor has no escape?" Wang Shichong frowned, and his voice suddenly became extremely cold: "Weichen has been thinking about it, to this point, why is Your Majesty still so calm and calm, it turns out that he has already left a way out for himself. ”

"Even if there is no General Huangfu, King Zheng shouldn't dare to kill me, right?" Yang Gao neither nodded nor shook his head, he said neatly: "If my guess is correct, King Zheng should hand me over to the Tang Dynasty, so that your reputation will not be tarnished, and you can be rewarded by the Tang Dynasty, why not?" ”

Wang Shichong and Yang Gao are both smart people, they don't need to be very clear in their conversations, they can understand each other's meanings, and at the same time, there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to hide their conversations.

"What is Your Majesty going to do on that day?" Wang Shichong was condescending, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he sneered: "At the beginning, you ordered Weichen to deliberately delay the time to exterminate the Wagang thieves, Weichen is a courtier of the Great Sui, loyal and patriotic, and people in the world may scold Weichen for being foolish and loyal, but what you really hate in your heart is still you, a yellow-mouthed child!" ”

Seeing Wang Shichong's angry and depraved appearance, Yang Gao laughed regardless of his image, Duan Da took advantage of the moonlight to see Wang Shichong's gradually hideous face, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Yang Gao twice.

Duan Da's actions made Yang Gao and Wang Shichong stunned at the same time, in their hearts, Duan Da was a greedy and afraid of death, usually in front of the two of them, he was as well-behaved as a dog, how could he make such a move today?

"Yang Gao, if you weren't for the throne, why would the Great Sui have fallen to the point where it is today, and where did you come from to talk about it here?" Duan Da said angrily: "At the beginning, you were worried that King Zheng would exterminate the Wagang thieves, and the first emperor would take credit to King Yue and send me to pass on the edict to King Zheng, in that battle, the soldiers and horses of the court lost more than 100,000 yuan, and I couldn't sleep until night, wouldn't you feel guilty?" ”

When the king of Yue was in charge of Luoyang, he sent Wang Shichong to crusade against Li Mi, Luoshui battled, seeing that the imperial army was about to break through Li Mi's camp, Wang Shichong ordered the withdrawal of troops, which eventually led to heavy casualties among the imperial army, and only more than 10,000 people fled back to Luoyang.

Wang Shichong has been fighting for many years, would he really make such a simple mistake?

In fact, Wang Shichong originally planned to weaken Li Mi's forces first, but he didn't expect that because Yang Tong sent tens of thousands of well-equipped reinforcements, the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, coupled with Li Mi's arrogance, so that Hu Benlang's general Wang Wei only led a few thousand people to break through the outer camp wall of the Wagang army.

Once Wang Wei broke through all the camp walls of Wagang, then Li Mi had no chance to live, Wang Shichong wanted to make meritorious contributions, but taking into account Yang Gao's edict, he had to order the withdrawal of troops.

It was precisely because of Wang Shichong's order that the army of the imperial court was in chaos in an instant, and Li Mi also had the opportunity to lead the army to counterattack, and the army of the imperial court who killed lost their armor and suffered countless casualties.

"In my edict, I told King Zheng not to be arrogant and rash, but he never let him lose the battle!" Yang Gao was silent for a moment, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court lost troops in that battle, how could the Tang thieves dare to come to the city today?" ”

Yang Gao was slapped twice by Duan Da, Wang Shi was relieved a lot, plus the defeat at the beginning, it was Yang Gao who was maneuvering around from it, he escaped death, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but be a little smaller.

"Your Majesty, the moonlight is so good, why should I bother to mention these bad pasts?" Wang Shichong bowed and said seriously: "After such a long time, even if Huangfu Wuyi said what happened back then, who would believe his one-sided words?" Moreover, Wei Chen has done today's things, and there is no room for recovery, so Your Majesty should go back to the palace to rest early. ”

Yang Tong seemed to be calm, but in fact, he was quite frightened today, he looked up at the bright moon hanging high, and said casually: "The harem is the residence of the Son of Heaven, King Zheng has not left the palace so late, is he planning to live here?" ”

"Weichen wants to handle the government affairs for His Majesty, so it is naturally more convenient to live in the palace." Wang Shichong replied calmly: "Tomorrow morning, Weichen will discuss with the courtiers about surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, there is no emperor in this Luoyang City, and Weichen can't live in this harem?" ”

Yang Gao was sent back to the dormitory, and Wang Shichong sent hundreds of guards to guard all night, just in case.

Although Wang Shichong has not been proclaimed emperor, his actions today are tantamount to seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne, so for him, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. He sat alone in the imperial study, looking at every corner of the imperial study, and his heart was full of emotion.

As he passed, footsteps sounded outside the door, and someone asked to be seen. Wang Shichong eased his mind and let people enter the hall.

"Qiqi King Zheng, Huangfu Wuyi is indeed not in Luoyang City." Pushing the door in, it was a cronie who had followed Wang Shichong for many years, and he bowed down and said: "I ordered someone to search Luoyang City, but I still didn't find Huangfu Wuyi's figure, only his relatives were arrested." ”

Wang Shichong had already guessed such a result, he nodded, and waved his hand to signal the cronie to step back.

The cronie stood in place and hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Zheng, in the process of searching, I heard from the palace gate guards that someone took advantage of the night to jump off the city wall and escape from Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
