Chapter 162: Li Congqing's Confusion
In the Qi Palace, Li Congqing was sitting on the soft couch, he was holding the table with one hand, leaning on the table with his whole body leaning, the cup of tea on the table was steaming all the time, but his brows were wrinkled, and his henchmen were standing on the side, talking about things.
“…… Prison country, Lin Renzhao rebelled, he didn't know where to get the news, he was already secretly recruiting troops and horses, planning to clear the king's side. Prison country, prison country, what should I do? Run Run Lee's voice grew quieter and quieter.
"How?" Li Congqing wrinkled his eyelids, suddenly snorted coldly, his face was angry, he got up immediately, overturned the cup on the table, and with a bang, the porcelain fell to the ground. The tea on the ground was still steaming, and he kicked the broken porcelain shard, "Damn! Huangfu Jixun is dead, he Lin Renzhao rebelled unexpectedly, you group of waste, he only dared to kill my forbidden army by relying on just one Runzhou. ”
The henchman Li Yifu next to him suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Forgive the prison country, Li Yifu knows his mistake, now that General Huangfu has died in battle, I don't know what the prison country plans to do?" He kowtowed vigorously on the ground, accidentally touched the broken porcelain, and drew a hideous cut on his forehead, which was oozing blood, and his miserable white face was covered with blood all of a sudden, which made Li Congqing look even more depressed and cold.
"Bad luck. Huangfu Jixun died when he died, why did he leave such a trouble? Li Congqing kicked the debris on the ground vigorously, his glacier face was already more gloomy, but the temperature inside the room was even colder than outside, and his henchman kept kowtowing, "Li Yifu, do you still need me to teach you how to do it?" ”
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the window, and a chill blew in with scattered sleet, and Li Congqing had some on his forehead, and he looked at it in disgust, and closed the window heavily.
"If the waste is not hurry up, call the king to this king." Li Congqing kicked Li Yifu's ass vigorously and glared at him viciously.
Li Yifu suddenly felt as if he had been amnestied, and immediately covered his wounds and walked out of the house in embarrassment, leaving only a blood stain on the floor of the house, revealing a fishy smell.
Outside the house, the snowflakes were not big, mixed with light rain, Wang Shen climbed in in armor, along the way with the wind and snow, the cold armor was already soaked, as soon as he entered the house, he quickly looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and his heart was a little worried.
When Li Congqing saw General Wang, suddenly the gloomy face had faded a lot, and he also showed a long-lost joy.
"I don't know if the king of Qi summoned the last general to come, is it for Lin Renzhao?" Wang Shenjiang clasped his hands into fists, half-bowed and said, he heard about that incident outside the house just now, but he couldn't imagine that a mere Lin Renzhao would dare to go against Jinling, he was really tired, and at the same time he was also thinking about how to deal with Lin Renzhao next.
Sure enough, when Li Congqing heard this, he nodded, and said, "Uncle Wang, you have always been resourceful in your heart, I don't know if you can give your nephew some guidance this time." ”
"The prince praised it falsely, the last general is just some tricks." Wang Shenjiang took off his helmet, his white hair was messy in the wind, he has been planning for Li Congqing recently, he looked at Li Congqing for a long time and didn't speak, this Li Congqing He grew up watching from a young age, but his temperament is a little weak, and he has to rely on others for everything.
General Wang said: "Lin Renzhao can't stay, the prince must quickly send the forbidden army to suppress it, otherwise once Lin Renzhao becomes bigger, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Li Congqing frowned and said: "Uncle Wang, I also know about this matter, but Lin Renzhao didn't know where to get the news, he already knew that Li Yu was not dead, and that Lin Renzhao didn't know what was going on, and he had Li Yu's handwritten letter in his hand?" ”
"This ...... In this case, Lin Renzhao can't stay even more, otherwise if some people know that Li Yu is still alive, it will be even more unfavorable to the prince's accession to the throne. ”
Hearing General Wang talk about the word enthronement, Li Congqing's face darkened a lot, and he smiled bitterly: "Also, when it comes to enthronement, it's all because the king said that he would discuss it after Li Yu's funeral, but now it seems that it is a lot of trouble." ”
General Wang's face was serious, he thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered a good idea, so he said in a low voice: "At this moment, the only way to bury Li Yu's coffin in the Zhongshan Imperial Mausoleum is to bury the coffin of King Xianqi." ”
"What does Uncle Wang mean?" Li Congqing looked at General Wang with a smile on his face.
General Wang said: "First cut and then play, and extraordinary things are carried out in extraordinary times, but in order to avoid tongues, this matter should be raised by Chen Qiao and his ministers." ”
Li Congqing still knew about these people, and he asked rhetorically, "Chen Qiao? Chen Qiao They are very stubborn, and they also attach great importance to etiquette, I don't know how to say these words from their mouths? ”
"Knocking on the side, the prince can send someone to test their tone, and when appropriate, he can also fight for the situation on the Song side."
"On the Song side, I'm afraid that because of the disappearance of King Wei, the two countries have already quarreled. If this king goes at this time, I'm afraid he will give Song Guo a tongue. ”
A gust of wind blew, and the windows rattled.
"Uncle Wang, what should I do?" As soon as Li Congqing thought of this, his head hurt very much.
General Wang said: "On the one hand, we have to send someone to assassinate Lin Renzhao secretly and steal the letter that Li Yu gave him, so that he has no letter in his hand, how can he have an excuse to crusade, and then the prince only needs to declare Lin Renzhao to the people of Tang State that Lin Renzhao is a traitor." On the other hand, we have to find the missing King Wei as soon as possible, so that Song Guo will not have any time to make trouble, and Song Guo has no excuse, and he will not embarrass the prince at will, so that Song Guo will also have an explanation. As for Jinling City, the prince can also take the opportunity to win over officials of the DPRK and China during this time, and as for the rest, this general can't remember it for a while. When he said this, he arched his hand again.
Li Congqing chewed his words carefully, but he didn't know why he didn't directly declare that Lin Renzhao was a rebel, but instead sent assassins to Runzhou to assassinate him, and Zhao Dezhao really wanted to find his whereabouts immediately, "Why don't you just send the forbidden army to suppress Lin Renzhao again?" ”
"Lin Renzhao is not a simple general, if we are tough, we will not get cheap." Wang Shen said.
"Uncle Wang, are you growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, why should we be afraid of him."
"Don't you remember how you suffered last time? And the last general is not afraid of him, but he needs to be cautious. ”
Asked by General Wang like this, Li Congqing's face suddenly darkened, and his face could no longer hide the anger in his heart. And General Wang also suddenly felt a trace of anger in Li Congqing's heart, he tightened his armor, and his thoughts were uncertain. General Wang remembered another thing at this time, and he said again: "The little lady of Zhou Mansion has returned to the mansion, maybe she can let us find King Wei?"
"Little Lady Zhou has returned home, when did it happen?"
"It's been a few days." Wang Shenjiang only remembered it now, and he said with a little embarrassment.
"Why did you tell this king now?" Li Congqing was a little angry when he heard this, but it was General Wang in front of him, he was a little angry, but his tone was slightly heavy.
"The last general will not notice, but I also remembered for a while, the prince can also ask Zhou Xiaoniang when he is free."
Li Congqing had forgotten the previous helplessness, and at this time he said: "Uncle Wang, you go to prepare horses now, and this king will go to Zhou's mansion now."
Snowflakes had already fallen in this world, and after half an hour, Li Congqing's carriage and horse had already arrived at the Zhou Mansion.
Li Congqing's chariot and horses were immediately visible to the servants of the Zhou Mansion, and these servants immediately invited Zhou Jiamin out according to the instructions of the prison state. The wind and snow were drifting in the air, Zhou Jiamin poked his head out, and saw that it was King Qi, although his heart was full of disgust, but his face still pretended to be respectful, and sat in the hall with King Qi to discuss matters.
Li Congqing stepped into the Zhou Mansion, and Zhou Jiamin invited him to the hall.
In the hall, Li Congqing sat on the soft floor, he looked at Zhou Jiamin with a squint, and was a little excited in his heart, he had never looked at a woman up close before, and suddenly he found that Zhou Jiamin looked so dignified, it seemed that his children had changed eighteen years, and Zhou Jiamin had grown into a girl this week.
Li Congqing swallowed his saliva, and he asked Zhou Jiamin about Zhao Dezhao's whereabouts. Zhou Jiamin naturally wouldn't tell him Zhao Dezhao's whereabouts, and in the end, Li Congqing, the king of Qi, didn't ask anything useful from Zhou Jiamin's mouth.
In less than half an hour, Li Congqing surrendered and returned to the Qi Palace.
……
South of the city
Yang Meng, Yang Che and Zhao Dezhao talked in the room for a long time, and Zhao Dezhao also solved a very important matter by chance, and this ghost sorrow also became a big help.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Zhao Dezhao and the three of them stopped talking, Yang Meng and Yang Che were also like a tacit understanding, dodging behind the screen, Zhao Dezhao immediately turned to open the door, listening to the footsteps, he knew that it was Chen Yuan who came to the door, and it seemed that there was something to report.
I saw Chen Yuan enter the house with a snowflake, and he immediately said: "Young master, Li Congqing has already been to the Zhou Mansion."
"Oh?" Zhao Dezhao didn't expect Li Congqing to go to Zhou's mansion, it seemed that Li Congqing went for himself this time, and he said with a snap of his fingers, "Li Congqing wants to get my whereabouts from Little Lady Zhou, right?" It's just that his wishful thinking was wrong, and Mrs. Zhou categorically wouldn't tell him my whereabouts, I'm afraid he will be closed. ”
"The young master is really like a god, it seems that this Li Congqing really can't accept the pressure from the Song envoy."
"As soon as my Great Song envoy does not know my whereabouts, he will not give up, and the longer this matter drags on, the more it can arouse the anger of the Great Song Dynasty, and the pressure on his Tang Kingdom will increase day by day. And according to my observation, Li Congqing would definitely not be so smart, if he was smart, he would not have remembered it for so long since Zhou Xiaoniang returned home. Zhao Dezhao said this, and smiled contemptuously, "But the stupider the enemy, the better it is for us." ”
"Yes, young master." Chen Yuan listened to what Zhao Dezhao said, and smiled slightly.
"Is there any news from Runzhou?"
"Huangfu Jixun is dead in Runzhou, and Lin Renzhao also has the guidance of three masters and apprentices. Li Congqing will definitely hurt his head for this matter. Chen Yuan then said, "But if Li Congqing can't become Lin Renzhao's opponent, won't the young master's plan fall through?" ”
Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "That's not true, Li Congqing still has a ghost and worry gang here, but how could Li Congqing know that he is surrounded by my people."
"What did the young master say?" Chen Yuan was a little confused by the second monk.
"yes, you don't know yet." Zhao Dezhao muttered.
At this moment, Yang Meng and Yang Che, who were hiding behind the screen, also smiled at each other, and suddenly Yang Che came out from behind the screen.
Chen Yuan was startled when he saw it, and then Yang Meng also came out from behind, Chen Yuan saw Yang Meng and immediately bowed his hand and said, "My subordinates have seen the Lord."
Yang Meng touched his beard and said, "This is the Venerable One in the mouth of the ghost."
When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Dezhao's mouth, "The subordinates understand, it seems that the young master is already in his chest." ”
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the house.
