Chapter 57 Eastern Capital VIII

In the middle of the night, the wind rose. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the Xingyang County Guard, the people have dispersed.
Yang Qing took his family, wife and children, and went to Donglin Temple under the custody of Zheng Weishan. Perhaps, until the dust settles, he will have to stay there.
But it's okay, didn't Yang Qing say that he likes to enjoy the scenery of Donglin Lake?
Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the scenery of Donglin Lake is unique. This time he can stay in the Donglin Temple and enjoy a good one.
"Liu Gong also followed?"
Li Yanqing was outside the living room and met Liu Heng.
Liu Heng nodded and said softly, "Father said, thank you for hiding the embarrassment for him." It's just that he and Yang Gong grew up together, and at this time, he can't leave Yang Gong. ”
"It's a pity!
Li Yanqing muttered.
In fact, he really wanted to use Liu Zhouchen. Before Li Xiaoji left, he once told Li Yanqing that Liu Zhouchen had no matter how big or small, as long as he told him the rules, he could do it properly, and there was no need to worry about it. This delicacy is not comparable to ordinary people. There are many talents around Yanqing, but whether it is Xue Shu, Du Ruhui, or even the eldest grandson Wuji, they are all good at the overall situation and neglect the details.
Fortunately, there is Xu Jingzong, and now there is another ancestor Junyan, who can take care of Li Yanqing.
But in Li Yanqing's heart, he still wants to find a more appropriate person. He had imagined that after getting Yang Qing, he would recruit Liu Zhouchen over. But now it seems that although Liu Zhouchen betrayed Yang Qing, his feelings for Yang Qing still exist. It is very difficult to get Liu Zhouchen to play...... You can say that Liu Zhouchen is hypocritical, but his friendship with Yang Qing is indeed from the heart.
"Jiali, you will patrol Xingyang tonight."
"Whoa!"
Liu Heng was overjoyed and retreated.
Yan Qing returned to the living room, and only Zheng Renji and Zheng Weishan were left in the hall. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then sat down separately. Li Yanqing was also not polite and sat on the main seat. Now this Xingyang County, with his highest status and the largest official position, it will not be rude to sit here.
"I've always wondered about the alliance between Wang and Lee.
Li Mi had already made a move, but Wang Shichong had not taken action for a long time. I can't figure it out, what is the purpose of Wang Shichong's play? Could it be that he is trying to defraud a city? Moreover, where exactly is he hiding after his disappearance from Jiushan? ”
A soldier served tea, Li Yanqing took a sip and said the question in his heart.
Zheng Renji and Zheng Weishan glanced at each other and also fell into deep thought.
For a long time, Zheng Renji said: "In the past, it was said that Wang Shichong entered the Eastern Capital, and the Taiyuan Wang family sent someone to know me, and asked me to help Wang Shichong more.
I didn't understand at the time, what does this Wang Shichong want me to help? He wants military merits, he wants people, money, and money. In Luoyang City, Yuanwen was bought by him, and Duan Da was willing to speak for him. Most of the ministers, large and small, also sided with him.
But I think this person is flashy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has no faith in his words and no morality at all...... Virtuous nephew, I heard that Wang Shichong's situation has not been very good recently. Due to the previous successive failures, countless food and salaries were wasted, and many soldiers and horses were lost. The court was already dissatisfied with him, and seemed to want to remove him from his current official position. If all this he did was to keep his official position, Yangcheng County was a good reason. ”
Li Yanqing shook his head, "A Yangcheng County, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to sit firmly in Luoyang."
You must know that in the past six months, he has lost nearly 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them are elite men and horses who defend Luoyang. As for money and food, there is no need to talk about it. Xingluocang was almost tossed empty by him, such a huge loss, just one Yangcheng County, could not be offset.
This man is cunning and ambitious......
Well, I've heard what my uncle said. It is rumored that the king intended to make Dugu Wudu replace him. Now that he has captured Yangcheng County, he can save his life, but whether he can continue to stay in Luoyang is still in doubt. When this person came to Luoyang, he vowed to create a big scene. For this reason, he spent countless dollars and taels, how could he leave in disgrace and let Dugu Wu profit out of thin air? So I guess he will definitely try to stay in Luoyang...... But if General Lu doesn't nod their heads......"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Yan Qing's mind!
He seemed to realize that he seemed to be ignoring something.
What's the problem?
He sat on the Taishi chair, his fingers lightly tapping the rosewood armrest. Zheng Renji and Zheng Weishan did not speak, and drank tea quietly.
Time is too long, so far away that Li Yanqing's memory has long been blurred.
Wang Shichong seems to be the king in the end!
How did he die? Yan Qing couldn't remember clearly, but Yan Qing remembered that he seemed to have set himself up as a king in the end. Since he is self-established as a king, it means that this person does not take the Sui family seriously. In which year did Wang Shichong become king? Li Yanqing couldn't remember. Anyway, I vaguely remember that it was after Li Yuan entered the customs...... Could it be that Wang Shichong set up a suspicious array in order to sneak back to Luoyang and rebel?
"Uncle, will Wang Shichong rebel?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, will he go back to Luoyang in order to stay in Luoyang?"
Zheng Renji's hands trembled and looked at Li Yanqing in shock. Zheng Weishan, who didn't talk too much, said: "How did he sneak back to Luoyang?" ”
Li Yanqing's thinking gradually became clear.
"I remember that he had a good relationship with Duan Da, the general of Zuo Xiaowei. And the Eastern Capital Tun Army is basically the men and horses of Zuo Xiaoweifu. If Duan Daken helped him cover, then Wang Shichong would be able to return to the Eastern Capital without knowing it, and kill King Yue by surprise. ”
Zheng Renji and Zheng Weishan glanced at each other, and they all showed shocked expressions.
"But, isn't he afraid of a counterattack from the imperial court?"
"The imperial court is in Heluo, how many people can be allocated now?
Since Wang Shichong dared to do this, it showed that he had already laid enough strength in Luoyang. As long as the left Xiaowei Mansion does not move, and the Right Prison Gate Mansion does not move, there will not be many decent soldiers and horses in the entire Luoyang area. Now Li Mi's attack on the tiger prison is tantamount to dragging our legs. The troops of Yingchuan and Xiangcheng were already empty, and Nanyang, Jianghuai and other places were full of bandits, and the imperial court was unable to take care of them at all.
As for Guanzhong...... I think it was precisely because of the turmoil in Guanzhong that Wang Shichong made this determination.
Li Yuan can trap Chang'an, why can't he Wang Shichong control the eastern capital? Well, if that's the case, there will be an explanation for his disappearance. From the Nine Mountains into the Mountains, I was afraid. At the same time, he colluded with Li to attack the Tiger Prison in order to attract my attention and make me uncomfortable. He can take advantage of the chaos to go out of the mountain and go straight to the eastern capital around Shouyang Mountain...... And this section of the road is also the tun army of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion. ”
Li Yanqing suddenly smiled when he thought of this.
"Poor Li Mi is smart, but he was played by Wang Shichong."
Zheng Renji asked tentatively, "Nephew, aren't you ready to rescue Luoyang?" ”
Yan Qing was stunned, took a deep breath and said, "It's been two days, Wang Shichong should have arrived in Luoyang." Even if I leave now, it's too late...... Besides, after I pass, if Wang Shichong coerces the Son of Heaven with the king of Yue to order the princes, where should I go? ”
"This ......"
"Wang Shichong is still a rat trap now, and I also need to solve Li Mi.
King Yue's surname will not be hindered for the time being. Besides, with my father-in-law in Luoyang, Wang Shichong didn't dare to endanger the life of King Yue. ”
"So, you let that Wang Shichong do it?"
Li Yanqing got up and stared at Zheng Renji, and suddenly smiled after a moment, "It's not a matter of letting it go, but the time is not right." Uncle and wait patiently. ”
******
In the eastern capital of Luoyang, Wang Shichong has controlled the situation.
The general of the right prison gate, Baye, led the troops to attack, and after meeting Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses, he did not move, but dismounted and saluted Wang Shichong.
Huangfu Wuyi saw that the situation was not good, so he abandoned the right door and went out of Luoyang and defected to Chang'an.
And Yuan Wendu was originally going to lead his troops to attack from Xuanwu Gate, and attacked Wang Shichong before and after. But he didn't want Duan Yu, who was holding the key to the palace gate, to disappear, but the Xuanwu Gate couldn't be opened. At the same time, Fei Yao opened the Sun Gate and let Wang Shichong lead his troops into the palace.
Lu Chu and Dugu Wu were both captured by Wang Renze in the chaos and chopped into meat sauce on the spot.
Yuan Wendu also tried to resist, but was killed by Zuo Xiaowei's general Huang Taoshu, and his head was presented in front of Wang Shichong.
Yang Tong, surrounded by the inner servants, fled to Ziwei Temple. He climbed up the tower and looked out. Hearing the shouts of killing in the imperial city, Wang Shichong appeared outside the Ziwei Gate surrounded by Duan Da Ba Yegang and others. At this time, Wang Shichong was so angry. Dressed in golden armor, it stands out in the firelight.
"Wang Shichong, you didn't get an edict and returned to Beijing without permission.
Dictatorship and arbitrariness, and the killing of ministers are not the work of the Son of Man. Lone is here now, you hold the power of the army according to your hands, can you dare to kill Lone? ”
Yang Tong also calmed down, although there was still a trilling voice in his words, he pointed at Wang Shichong and scolded.
As soon as Wang Shichong saw Yang Tong, he immediately turned over and dismounted, prostrate on the ground, and cried loudly at the same time.
"Weichen was promoted by the saint, even if he was shattered, he couldn't repay him. It's just that the three of Yuanwendu, Lu Chu, Dugu and Wudu were all annihilated ministers, plotting to unite with Li Mi and wanting to harm the king. The ministers were reluctant to obey, so the three of them were suspicious of me, and they didn't want me to stand in the eastern capital. The minister also had no choice, there was no time to report, so he had to do it first. If the minister is half deceitful and fails the words of the king and His Majesty, the heavens and the earth can be seen from the moon, so that the ministers are all over the house and beheaded, and no one is left. ”
His words made Yang Tong stunned again!
Could it be that Yuan Wendu and they really colluded with Li Mi and wanted to murder me?
"Wang Shichong, if you are really a loyal minister, do you dare to come to see Gu alone?"
Wang Shichong didn't say a word, immediately took off his armor, spread his hair in a bun, and came to Ziwei Gate. Unarmed, he made his soldiers take a hundred steps back to prove his innocence.
If Li Yanqing is here, he can't say that he will laugh at Wang Shichong, he is really a good actor.
It's a pity that although Yang Tong is smart, he is too unfamiliar with this world. He was a little confused, what did this Wang Shichong mean?
Previously, Lu Chu told him that Wang Shichong couldn't do it.
Later, Yuan Wendu told him that Wang Shichong had a name......
But how much does Yang Tong know about Wang Shichong? It's not much. Seeing that the city gate was about to open, he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves in the distance.
Pei Renji led the Pei family sergeant, and the wind rushed over.
"Your Majesty, Hugh will open the gates."
Wang Shichong waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to get out of the way. Pei Renji came to Wang Shichong, his tiger eyes widened, and he glared angrily.
"Wang Shichong, do you want to rebel?"
"General Pei is going to misunderstand, Wang Xingman has no objection. What I do today is only to protect my ears. If the general does not believe it, Wang Xingman can accompany the general to meet the king together. ”
"General Pei, just look at him and come in to see Gu together."
Yang Tong shouted loudly.
Pei Renji pondered for a moment and threw off the horse.
He ordered the Pei family guards to guard outside the Ziwei Gate, and then arched his hand and said: "Please open the door to the king, even if the minister gives up his surname, he will not let this thief harm the king's hair." ”
Wang Shichong looked calm, as if he was not afraid at all.
When he and Pei Renji staggered by, he said in a low voice: "General Pei, if you want to kill me, my sons and nephews are here, and they will definitely avenge me." When the time comes, even if you kill me, the king's life will not be guaranteed. Why don't you take a step back, I can protect the king, and there will be no danger. ”
Just this sentence made Pei Renji suddenly furious!
