Chapter 730: Conspiracy
Xuanzong's West Patrol car arrived in Jincheng County on the evening of the same day, calculating the itinerary, from the beginning of yesterday to the present, the car has traveled nearly 90 miles, it can be said that the action is fast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn weekdays, Xuanzong traveled, and the carriage and horse stopped to rest and camp after traveling more than 20 miles a day, and now he has walked the usual four or five days a day, which is really unique.
All this is because there are rebels later, on the road, Chang'an's military situation continues to report, the rebel vanguard cavalry has been in Chang'an Baqiao east of thirty miles, almost to Chang'an City. At this time, no matter how tired and tired Xuanzong was, he could only grit his teeth and move forward. It's like a big tiger following behind his ass and trying to eat people, in this case, even a cripple can walk like a fly, because if you don't run, you will be torn to pieces by the tiger.
Jincheng County is just a barren small county town, a place where birds don't poop. On weekdays, the two state officials are reluctant to visit here, but today there are so many big people all of a sudden. When the county magistrate learned that His Majesty was fortunate to be here, he almost fell off his chair, and then stumbled to meet him. If it was before, Xuanzong would not have let these small county officials have a chance to see him, but today Xuanzong not only met him, but also said a few words to him gently.
Jincheng County Ling Niu Erle was about to cry, he was so excited and honored. However, before he could express his excitement and gratitude, a tall, dark-faced and purple-robed official on the side told him in a cold voice that His Majesty would settle down in Jincheng County tonight, and he immediately prepared to take him from his residence.
When Niu Erle ran down and turned around to prepare, he suddenly remembered that the purple-robed and black-faced official was Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty. Niu Erle hated to slap himself twice, he didn't actually salute like Xiangguo, and missed this great opportunity to get close.
Jincheng County was too small, there was only one main street in the whole county, and there were few decent houses, so Niu Erle had to order the officials of the whole county to act together and vacate the county hall and back house, which was the best place to live in the county. The county government let His Majesty move in, and Prince Xiangguo and others ordered several wealthy families in the county to vacate their houses for them to move in, and as for the other people accompanying them, they could only empty the entire street and let the officials and forbidden soldiers live. But what if the people of this county have nowhere to live? The answer given by the Niuerle County Order is: "Tonight, we all slept in the regimental training camp in the north of the city, lit a bonfire and stayed up all night. ”
So, Xuanzong Junchen finally just wanted to settle down at sunset. After a day of exhaustion and fear, everyone was sleepy. Although the residence arranged by the Niu County Order was not as good as that of Xuanzong, who was accustomed to living in the land of high halls and Daewoo pavilions, and everyone seemed to be as tattered as a stable, they were not picky. After dinner, Xuanzong and most of his entourage slept soundly in the musty-smelling, dusty dwelling.
The sky was as dark as ink, and the north wind howled across the night sky. The main street was deserted except for the patrolling Praetorian soldiers. Almost everyone fell asleep because they were tired, but in Zhang Dahu's house, which was a hundred steps away from the county office, the small main house in the back house was lit up like fireflies.
This is the residence of the crown prince Li Heng, at this moment he is sitting cross-legged on the cold bed, Li Fuguo is bowing down, and there is a tall figure sitting in the shadow in the corner. The dim candle flame flickered, pulling the shadows of the three of them against the wall, like a demonic dance.
"Your Highness, don't miss the opportunity, it's not going to come again. Now is the best opportunity, I hope Your Highness can make a decision immediately, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life. Li Fuguo's voice sounded low, his ugly face looked terrifying and strange under the shadows, only his eyes, shining brightly, like the eyes of a beast in the dark.
Li Heng was silent, his brows furrowed, he bit his lower lip tightly, and his body seemed to be sweating, because there were thin beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"This thing...... In the long run, I can't do something like that, otherwise I won't be scolded by the world, and I don't want to do it. Li Heng said in a trembling voice.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, if you are not ruthless, you will definitely regret today's decision in the future. What a great opportunity, don't you want to take it? If you become you, you will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Haven't you endured it for so many years? Do you have to wait another ten years? Still living in trepidation? Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all the soldiers and horses at the moment are ours, Long Wuwei and the Flying Dragon Army are all our people, as long as we do things together, things will be attacked. Then Your Highness will announce your ascension to the throne, and the wood will be completed, and the subjects of the world will have to follow you and recognize your new throne. What are you waiting for? Li Fuguo spoke too quickly, and he was a little out of breath.
Li Heng snorted and incited, and stopped talking several times, and finally couldn't make up his mind. Li Fuguo stomped his feet and said, "Chen Xuanli, you have something to say, what are you doing just sitting there?" Do you also think that my proposal is not feasible? As one of the special deacons of my Luo Yimen, you have been by Your Majesty's side for many years, and we haven't asked you to do a single thing, now it's time for you to go out, are you still going to hold back? ”
In the shadows in the corner of the wall, the tall Chen Xuanli slowly got up and walked to the light, stood in front of Li Heng and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the minister will say a few words." The minister knows what His Royal Highness is thinking in his heart, and His Royal Highness's benevolence and righteousness are nothing more than the words of the people of the world, which the minister actually appreciates. In fact, the minister didn't quite agree with Li Neishi's method, his method was too much. ”
Li Fuguo was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Xuanli, you ...... Don't agree? What did you tell me before you came? ”
Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice: "Li Neishi, it's not that I don't agree with the matter, but I don't agree with your Royal Highness to kill Your Majesty and make the crown prince bear the infamy." In fact, this move only needs to kill everyone in the Yang family to solve all problems. Kill Yang Guozhong, kill the concubine, kill Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Han, kill everyone in the Yang family, Your Majesty will have nothing to rely on. They are the spiritual pillars of His Majesty, and if you kill them, Your Majesty will be disheartened. ”
Li Fuguo's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, it's a good idea." Do not bear the name of killing the king, but only cut off its foundation. It is better to let His Majesty order them to be killed, so that the death of the Yang family has nothing to do with the crown prince. Let His Majesty personally order the killing of the concubine, this thing is exciting to think about. That's it. ”
Li Heng shuddered and said in a dumb voice: "Do you really want to do this, is there no other way?" Otherwise, I'll go and persuade my father and let him pass on to me, and I won't have to kill too many people. ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, how did you suddenly become a woman's kindness? Take out the courage to kill Li Linfu and kill King Rong, this is the last moment, success or failure in this move. In a few days, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses will come to meet him, and at that time, there will be no more chance. Do you expect Wang Yuan to listen to us? When pigs fly. Only if you become the emperor, Wang Yuan will surrender to you with all his heart. In just a few days, it has to be done. Li Fuguo said in a deep voice.
Chen Xuanli glanced at Li Fuguo in surprise, he was surprised by the tone and tone of Li Fuguo's speech to the prince, it was not a slave to the master, but the tone of a superior to his subordinates. And Li Heng was not angry, but only promised. But Chen Xuanli didn't want to think about it at this time. Since his affair with His Majesty's Concubine Wan was found out by Li Fuguo ten years ago, he couldn't get out and became one of the three special deacons of Luo Yimen. He had to obey the orders of the crown prince and Li Fuguo, although he had a deep affection for Xuanzong, but what he did was the crime of killing his head and destroying his family, and he couldn't help himself.
"General Chen, how sure do you feel?" Li Heng looked up at Chen Xuanli and said.
Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice: "Ten points." It will definitely work. After setting off tomorrow, there will be a Ma Wei Post sixty miles to the west, and tomorrow we will have to rest for the night at Ma Wei Station, and we will start an incident there. forced His Majesty to kill all the Yang family and others, and forced him to pass on to the crown prince. After getting the edict of succession, we waited to keep the prince to go north to Shuo Fangzhi Lingwu, and it is said that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi's 50,000 soldiers and horses retreated to Lingwu. His Royal Highness ascended the throne as emperor in Lingwu, gathered his subjects, soldiers and horses, and then quelled the rebellion. Ma Weiyi is the last chance, please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no chance. ”
Li Heng said: "Then, what about Wang Yuan's 100,000 soldiers and horses?" What should he do if he wants to protect his father and go to Jiannan? What if he rebels? What do we do to stop him? ”
Li Fuguo said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Wang Yuan is a smart person. As soon as the Yang family dies, Wang Yuan will definitely find another Gao Zhi. And His Royal Highness is the high branch he wants to climb. Do you think Wang Yuan will die for His Majesty? His Majesty's kindness to him is entirely because of the Yang family. Now that His Majesty has killed the Yang family, what will happen to Wang Yuan? You must know that Wang Yuan and Mrs. Qin have a very close relationship, and the cavalry commander under him is Liu Jun, the son of Mrs. Qin, so how can Liu Jun give up? Besides, His Royal Highness has the edict of succession in hand, so he is not afraid of anything, and all those who disobey are resisting the decree and traitors. ”
Li Heng said again: "Then what if my father insists on not passing on the throne and not killing the Yang family?" ”
Li Fuguo laughed and said, "Your Highness, you can put ten thousand hearts, do you think Your Majesty will go to the point of disregarding your own safety in order to protect the Yang family?" You're wrong. The slave maid does not mean to speak ill of His Majesty, but His Majesty is by no means a person who does not cherish his own life, and when the situation changes, His Majesty will agree if he does not agree. If Your Majesty is really obsessed, then since the incident started, he can't think too much, and he will have to make a decision at the right time. ”
Li Heng's lower lip was about to bite and bleed, as if everything was within reach, but a huge sense of fear still enveloped him, or rather, his father's power was too great, making him feel a deep panic.
However, the temptation of the throne finally prevailed, and just when Li Fuguo and Chen Xuanli were a little frustrated by Li Heng's indecision, they heard Li Heng say softly: "Then listen to you, Ma Weiyi will do it." ”
