Chapter 574: Ambition
Desperate for revenge, Li Chengwan rushed back to the palace and cried to the Goryeo king Gao Jianwu, begging him to investigate and arrest the assassins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gao Jianwu was also shocked, angry and anxious when he heard that his number one general was stabbed to death in the street.
After reaching an armistice agreement with the Yuan clan, in the absence of the threat of foreign enemies, he inevitably had a contradiction with Eulzhi Wende, who wanted to recover the military power, but the other insisted on the military power on the grounds that the world was not too peaceful, not only did not obey Gao Jianwu's orders, but instead pulled out his own disciples and arranged them to serve in important positions in the army, slowly overheading and encroaching on the army of Northern Goguryeo.
Gao Jianwu is not a person who is tied up, he has also attracted a large number of lieutenant generals with the help of the royal family, and Li Zicheng is one of the important generals he regards as his arm.
Li Zicheng has repeatedly confronted Ezhi Wende at court meetings, making it inevitable that he has become a thorn in the side of Ezhi Wende. Li Zicheng is now assassinated, Gao Jianwu is the same as Li Chengwan, his first thought is that Yizhi Wende did a good deed, and his purpose is to weaken his strength.
"Your Majesty, please be the master of your courtiers." Li Chengwan's eyes were bloodshot, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you can't find out the results, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers!" ”
"......" Gao Jianwu suddenly woke up, yes! He relied on these few loyal ministers, Li Zicheng's death was unknown, if he didn't give the deceased an explanation, what would others think? As time goes by, won't you become a lonely person who is centrifugal up and down? Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu no longer hesitated and gave him Li Chengwan full responsibility for the power to capture the assassins.
Li Chengwan returned to the barracks and dispatched 3,000 soldiers to search for the Assassins throughout the city.
With Gao Jianwu's acquiescence, Li Chengwan arrested more than 500 people in one afternoon, most of whom were Yizhi Wende's cronies, and the other part were people who had some grudges with the Li family in the past.
As a result, the city of China was in turmoil.
Gao Jianwu saw that Yizhi Wende did not force the palace like Cao Cao, and suddenly, his courage was strong, and he sent an edict to Li Chengwan: order him to expand the results of the battle and continue to cut off Yizhi Wende's wings.
With this secret order, Li Chengwan became even more unscrupulous. The army of Gomingyeo was not a civilized army or a mighty army, and their military discipline was extremely poor, and under the acquiescence and instruction of their superiors, the soldiers wantonly slaughtered the people and raped the silver women. When the sky was dark, Li Chengwan was standing fiercely next to the corpses that were piled up nearly half a meter high, brandishing the golden horse golden knife, shouting insults, and being arrogant. This is a family loyal to Yizhi Wende, and once Li Zi had the opportunity to go further, but it was because of the singing and harmony between the head of this family and Yizhi Wende, that Li Zicheng was still a county guard and a city guard.
Li Chengwan couldn't find the assassin, so he vented his anger on the family, believing that if it weren't for the family's obstruction, his father would have been promoted, and he would not have personally patrolled the city, let alone died. So, everything is the family's fault. Since you make a mistake, you have to pay a price, and the price of this family is that the whole family will bury Li Zicheng.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and when Li Chengwan stirred up chaos in the domestic city, a group of people were purposefully approaching the military camp in the inner city.
First mess up the enemy's position, in the strongest place of the surprise attack, and finally take advantage of the chaos to attack the control of the city gate.
Disorderly!
This night's domestic city can only be described in one word.
The assassination of Li Zicheng's father and son was part of the plan, the purpose was to make the domestic cities leaderless and lacking the command of generals, so that the soldiers in the domestic cities were like headless flies and did not know how to deal with them.
But with the in-depth understanding of Li Zicheng's father and son, Luo Shixin felt that it was better to assassinate Li Zicheng and his son than to assassinate Li Zicheng alone.
Li Zicheng is a veteran, although he is brave, but he has experienced a hundred battles and has rich experience, and can deal with all emergencies rationally and rationally. His son Li Chengwan is different, Li Chengwan is a reckless man and a filial son, he belongs to the kind of person who has a strong temper, is angry, dares to stab the sky, and the emperor dares to fight, completely ignoring the overall situation.
The movements of such people are best predicted and controlled.
Really!
Seeing the tragic death of his father, Li Chengwan was extremely violently stimulated, as if he was crazy against Buddhism, he ignored the law and discipline at all, and regardless of whether the people in the city complained, he directly brought out the 3,000 soldiers under his command from the barracks, and forcibly searched from house to house, making people angry
The domestic city has also been the national capital of Goguryeo for more than 400 years, and now it is another capital, where there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city, and the people in the city are like crossing the river.
Li Chengwan completely ignored his madness, stirring up the entire domestic city and boiling public resentment, attracting all the attention.
Someone in the city came to persuade him, but Li Chengwan beat him up.
In the end, because someone said that a woman who resembled an assassin had mixed up with the city tower and used a rope to go out of the city, Li Chengwan scolded the waste, ordered all the city gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city, leading thousands of people to chase and kill out of the city. So that there were less than 8,000 soldiers, and there were 1,000 fewer soldiers.
**********
In the south of the city in China, in a quiet and elegant manor, thousands of eaves and hundreds of universes, the weather is magnificent, a grass and a tree, a mountain and a water, showing the atmosphere of great wealth and nobility. The two stone lions outside the manor, weighing more than 1,000 catties, show the status of the owner.
Standing in front of the stone lion, you can see the four brilliant characters of "Generalissimo's Mansion", and the inscription is engraved with the words Gao Jianwu.
In the domestic city, Gao Jianwu can personally write the inscription to the world, and there is only the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
At the beginning, in order to win over Yizhi Wende to show his favor, Gao Jianwu gave a palace to Yizhi Wende, and Yizhi Wende really lived up to the trust, and fought two beautiful turnaround battles for Gao Jianwu in danger, but now there are no foreign enemies, and the two have slowly moved towards division and confrontation because of the problem of military power. Ulji Wende finally had the opportunity to go out of the mountain, and there was no one to check and balance him in Northern Goguryeo, so that the power of Ulji Wende developed expansively.
At this moment, Yizhi Wende and his second son Yizhi Hou Wu are playing chess, and what happened in the domestic city does not seem to affect the father and son in the slightest.
Yizhi Wende had two sons, namely the eldest son Yizhi Houwen and the second son Yizhi Houwu. Yizhi Wende has high hopes for his two sons, and they share the word civil and military, hoping that they will become successful in literature and martial arts. As a result, the boss Hou Wen was as fierce and brave as Zhang Fei; Hou Wu is polite and polite, proficient in the Three Tao Six Strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and has won the true biography of Yizhi Wende.
Yizhi Hou Wu is a young man after all, he couldn't help but say: "Father, Li Chengwan, this kid has made the people miserable, and now there are many complaints in the city, and many people hope that you will come forward to take care of Li Chengwan and seek justice for the people." ”
"It's one more moment than last time, and there's progress." Yizhi Wende slowly withdrew the chess pieces one by one, sucked a sip of fragrant tea leisurely, and said with a smile on his face: "Tube? How? Why bother? The old man is in charge of the army and doesn't care about the government, and he can't manage it if he wants to. ”
Otozhi Hou Wudao: "Father, this is an opportunity to enhance your prestige in the hearts of the people. ”
"It's not time yet." Yizhi Wende smiled and said: "A few years ago, after several hearty victories, the prestige of the Gao clan has reached the top wind, although it has been many years, this prestige is still irreplaceable. ”
Yizhi Wende seemed to be out of bounds, he glanced at Yizhi Hou Wu, and continued: "Who do you think Li Chengwan has arrested? Many people are people who are pulled out by the old man, you say, if there is no acquiescence from the Lord, does he have the courage to do this? ”
"Father? You say the king is ready to deal with us? Yizhi Hou Wu was shocked.
Ezhi Wende said: "It's not that I'm preparing, but I'm already dealing with it." Li Chengwan is the sharp blade in his hand. It's a pity that the king is not human. He smiled coldly and said: "This is indeed an opportunity, but it has ruined Li Chengwan, if Li Chengwan is a little more rational and does not disturb the people, then we will suffer certain losses, but now there is no need to worry at all, sooner or later the king will not be able to resist the will of the people and punish Li Chengwan." But once the king punishes Li Chengwan, what will other people loyal to the royal family think? ”
"Centrifugal detachment." Yizhi Hou Wu's eyes lit up and said.
"Yes." Yizhi Wende said with a smile: "If the common people know that the king colluded with his courtiers and plotted against the heroes, what would the people think? ”
Yizhi Hou Wu suddenly came to his senses and said with some excitement: "Father, the child knows what to do. My father worked hard for Goguryeo all his life. made great contributions to his Gao family, and also suffered humiliation because of Gao's country. At the height of his prestige, he chose to retire. For the sake of his Gao family, his mother even died tragically in the conspiracy of the Yuan family. Now that his father has helped Gao Jianwu stabilize the situation, I thought he would be grateful, who would have thought that Gao Jianwu didn't know what to do, and if his internal worries were not settled, he would do 'the birds do their best to hide the cunning rabbit and cook the lackey', such a character, where is it worth his father's service? ”
A hint of danger flashed in Yizhi Wende's eyes, and he said: "Therefore, it is better to rely on others than on yourself." Wu'er, you immediately order to go down and spread the news in the city, so that the people of the whole city know that Gao Jianwu and Li Chengwan are dealing with his father, and if you can, send dead soldiers to kill a few people who others think are ours, but in fact they are wavering. ”
"Yes! Son, let's do it. Yizhi Hou Wuxing saluted and hurriedly arranged for his henchmen to act according to the plan.
"Stop!" Ezhi Wende stopped Ezhi Hou Wu.
"Father, what else do you have to say?" Yizhi Hou Wu looked back in surprise.
"Calm, composed. Don't be like your eldest brother, how can you become a human being? ”
"Got it." Yizhi Hou Wu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, does this mean that his father will choose to be his heir?
