Chapter 561: The Man Behind the Scenes
Under everyone's eagerness, Li Shimin finally woke up slowly with the joint efforts of the imperial doctors, but his temporary state was not very good and he couldn't appear in front of everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, during the time he was unconscious, everyone was not idle. The imperial doctors are naturally busy saving people, and there are so many guards behind them, one of these guys is not performing well, and he will be buried with Li Shimin, so he is naturally very dedicated.
The guards of the imperial city, under the appeasement of Zhang Shigui, the top boss who has always loved soldiers like a son, also returned to their daily work. The soldiers who participated in the rebellion were divided into three, six, and nine according to the different responsibilities of their respective superiors under the auspices of their respective superiors, and those who should be imprisoned were sent to prison, and those who should be beheaded were beheaded, and most of them were mainly appeased, after all, the law does not blame the public.
Li Shimin has set the tone of the deal before, and these generals have done this, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for their subordinates, and they will first implement the lightest punishment, and Li Shimin of the province will wake up and be carried away by anger, and simply bury all the rebel soldiers.
After all, no one knows how crazy an emperor who narrowly escaped his life will be, or in the case of betrayal by those closest to him and the loss of his beloved.
The investigation into this rebellion has not stopped for a moment, and all those who may have something to do with this matter have been questioned to varying degrees, and Zhang Liang and Hou Junji are estimated to have suffered a lot from flesh and skin.
Even Shi Lei, the attacker, was questioned several times, and also asked him what enemies he had, or who he had offended, but fortunately he was also a victim of this rebellion, and the rebels almost rushed into his home, and he would definitely not be an accomplice of the rebels, so the people who came to inquire would not treat him with the attitude of interrogating prisoners.
Several of the bigwigs who participated in this incident on the bright side are quite single, since the rebellion has failed, and they all know their ending, so there is no such thing as stubborn resistance.
Especially a guy like Hou Junji, who is also very arrogant, and in such a matter, he also disdains lying, so after a surprise interrogation, combined with the confessions of all the soldiers and important people who participated in the rebellion, the whole process behind the scenes of this incident is slowly revealed.
It was only then that Li Shimin and the others knew that there was another real mastermind behind this rebellion!
It was this person who promoted this rebellion, and it was he who united several parties to launch all this, and it was he who made the whole plan of the rebellion, including the poisoning of Empress Changsun, and the process of the rest of the families cooperating with each other, of course, he also commanded his subordinates to besiege and kill Shi Lei and his family.
It's just that he underestimated the strength of Shi Lei and his subordinates, failed to kill Shi Lei's family, and underestimated Li Shimin's sensitivity to rebellion, as well as strong countermeasures, so he didn't expect Zhang Shigui to suddenly lead troops to appear, and he also didn't expect Cheng Yanjin and their prestigious veterans to suddenly appear in their respective military camps, leading the guards of the Sixteen Guards to fight back, and also underestimated the great prestige of the Li Tang royal family, especially Li Shimin, among the Tang Dynasty military and civilians.
Of course, these variables aside, the plan formulated by the real mastermind behind the scenes, the lord in the mouth of those rebels, is indeed very feasible. If one of these omissions is missing, maybe he will be able to do it.
It can be seen that he does have his own uniqueness in mobilizing forces from all sides, taking advantage of opportunities, and grasping people's hearts. If this is put on the battlefield, or if you are a military advisor-like character in a down-to-earth manner, you will definitely be a demon like Guo Jia.
It's a pity that he got his own position wrong and found the wrong opponent, so he has the current failure. It's just that before he was completely caught, I didn't know who this figure who stirred up such a storm in Datang by himself.
But so far, the whole process behind the scenes has also been restored in its entirety, the mastermind behind the scenes first provoked Li Zhi's ambitions, so that he coveted the chair, and then began to brew the whole plan, the goal is to forcibly ascend to the throne by force through the form of rebellion, and by the way, to strike at Li Chengqian, who is the orthodox heir, and completely pull him down.
It is obvious that Li Chengqian is indeed a victim, the chief manager of Ananda that he has always trusted, in fact, has multiple identities, in addition to being loyal to Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, the person he is really loyal to is actually another person, the chief manager next to Li Zhi!
He was born in the black, not only is he strong in force, but he is also the godfather that Ananda has long recognized. In addition, he is also the secret leader of many martial eunuchs and female guards in the palace. intended to find a better way out and future for them through the rebellion, because he felt that it was a better choice for them to make Li Zhi the emperor, so they had this performance of dead strength.
Ananda followed his instructions and started an incident immediately after the poisoning of the eldest grandson. By the way, he also fooled a lot of mistrusts of his orders, thinking that it was really Li Chengqian who wanted to kill the emperor's own guards in the East Palace and follow him to act.
After all, everyone knows that Chief Ananda has always been Li Chengqian's most relied on confidant, and it is not surprising that Li Chengqian has such an idea, so he succeeded in coaxing.
In fact, if only these forces were available, this rebellion would definitely not have the current momentum, nor would it adopt such a flamboyant form, but would have used some more low-key methods to achieve its goal.
But Hou Junji and Zhang Liang both once expressed their thoughts of wanting to rebel in private, and they didn't know how they were known by the mastermind behind the scenes. Under his matchmaking, everyone hit it off
The two generals need a genuine Li Tang royal family to be in front of them, so that their actions are more justified. And Li Zhi, who has become ambitious, also needs such two powerful generals to stand on his side with the force under their hands to add more powerful bargaining chips to his rebellion. In this way, their alliance is completed.
And the specific plan, including the food that is delicious in itself, but the eldest grandson queen eats, but can cause fatal illnesses, is also from the mastermind. As for how he knew it would work, it's impossible to say for sure.
Even if the queen's personal maid tried poison according to the usual practice, she couldn't find out, so this person must have a big expert in poison to achieve this effect.
Everyone knows the plan after that, and the grasp of each link can be said to be quite precise and interlocking, if it weren't for the opponent Li Shimin, there is a great certainty that it will be successful.
And all of this made all those in the know full of vigilance and even fear for the mastermind behind the scenes.
Li Shimin and they naturally killed this person quickly, of course, Shi Lei also wanted to kill this guy, because the other party actually had the idea of moving his own family, which Shi Lei absolutely could not tolerate.
