Chapter 9 Li Yuan's Hind Hand
The night was dark, and in the Showa Palace, Li Yuan was lying on the couch, not daring to close his eyes. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again, and although he had already found out the cause, it was too late, and the imperial doctors all shook their heads or said some nonsense. Li Yuan had already cut two, and the rest of them were like frightened cicadas, none of them dared to make a sound, and even breathed slowly and slowly, for fear that Li Yuan would hear about it and push it out again.
Although lying on the sickbed, the music that should be dealt with still has to be dealt with, although Li Yuan is not a holy emperor, but he is by no means mediocre and incompetent. Part of the affairs were handed over to Li Jiancheng to deal with, which could be regarded as appeasing the heart that was already stirring, and he was waiting, waiting for his best son to return to Chang'an. At that time, it was the last moment to turn his face, and even his life might be saved, because Li Yuan knew that Li had Sun Simiao's token on his second-hand, and the first miracle doctor in the world might have a way to save his old life.
The chamberlain on one side was reciting the recital to him, and Li Yuan could only listen to the recital before making a decision. It seems that the hands and feet have stopped obeying the call, and the early dynasty has not been held for almost ten days, and those ministers of the court and the central government may be panicking now! In the afternoon, I got the report, the second son Shimin has arrived outside Chang'an City, and the time is almost up, maybe he should really listen to the construction of the ministers and make him the prince!
"Your Majesty, King Qin asks to see you!" Just when Li Yuan was thinking about this, the black-robed man took Li Er to the outside of the Showa Palace.
"Xuan!" Li Yuan said one word.
"The son knocks to see his father!" Li Er walked in and knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yuan.
"Get up!" Li Yuan said weakly.
"Father, your body is fine! What did the Imperial Doctor say? Li Erxian cared about Li Yuan's body.
"Huh...... Those two rebels actually put copper slag in the water I drank, how could I raise such two wolf-hearted things! Ahem......" Li Yuan was very excited, and coughed.
"Father, what's going on? What copper slag? Li Er heard a rough idea, but he didn't dare to guess, if it was really as he thought, it would be a little scary.
"Those two rebels, kill the father! cough cough ......" Li Yuan couldn't breathe, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
"So, what should Erchen do?" Li Er didn't dare to make his own decisions, if it didn't match Li Yuan's wishes, maybe this matter would become a bad thing.
"I still control the Sixteen Guards, and the Dark Guards! I gave you all their command, and you killed those two rebels for me! The waiter wiped the blood from the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, and Li Yuan gasped and said.
"Erchen understands that Erchen doesn't need sixteen guards, as long as the secret guards help each other secretly!" Li Er's heart was racing, and he had already made a resolution.
"What are you going to do?" Li Yuan asked.
"Erchen decided to wait for another half a month, let them feel that the overall situation is in their hands before acting, during this time Erchen went back to find Sun Simiao, and asked him to show his father. Moreover, the Father Emperor of the Sixteen Guards can also pretend to order them to serve those two people, let them run rampant, and take the opportunity to see if any of the Sixteen Guards really surrender to the enemy! Li Er decided to use the two princes to test the Sixteen Guards, after all, no one can be sure that those people are loyal, if someone sticks a knife in the back, Li Er will take over directly at that time.
"Anyway, I will give you the power, just do it, your talent is the most outstanding among the three of you, if you fail, then it will be providence!" Since Li Yuan has already decided, then he won't say more.
"And the Minister's Command!" Li Er replied respectfully.
"Alright, you go down! The dark guard I will explain to the dark one, he is the leader of the dark guard, and he will directly obey you, you can directly let him kill the two rebels, the reason why I don't do this is mainly because my body may not get better, and you are not in Chang'an at the time, if those two die like this, Chang'an will definitely be in chaos. Those big families are still eyeing each other, and they have not given up their ambition to seize the world. When Li Yuan learned what those two people had done, he wanted to assassinate them directly, but when he thought of the five surnames and seven hopes, the thousand-year-old family, he pressed the killing intent in his heart again.
"Erchen knows!" Li Er promised that he would not assassinate the two directly, because that was not in line with his character, and he wanted to bring the two to Li Yuan in front of him in a dignified manner and expose their crimes, so that he could sit in that position justifiably, and he could not bear the reputation of killing his brother and usurping the throne. It's just that he thinks very well, and the development of things in Anzhi is often unsatisfactory.
"Stand down!" Li Yuan was very tired, so let Li Er retreat, and he closed his eyes to recuperate. Li Er came back, and Li Yuan's hanging heart was half relieved.
Li Er left the palace again under the leadership of the black-robed man and returned to his camp, this trip took more than two hours, and now it was close to the end of the day, it was time to rest. After dismissing the generals, Li Er lay on the low couch, thinking about what to do next.
In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also discussing, although they didn't know that Li Er had already entered the palace to see Li Yuan, but they had already learned the news of Li Er's return to Chang'an, and now they are discussing countermeasures.
"You say, this second brother is back, are we going to start acting directly?" Li Yuanji felt that he would take direct action to surround the Qin Palace, let Li Er throw a mouse trap, and then lead the army to directly force the palace, and even coerce Li Er to lead his three thousand Xuanjia to open the way at the front.
"It's better to wait first, you also know that the sixteen guards have not been controlled, we have only obtained the military power of the six guards, and most of them are controlled by our father, plus the three thousand Xuanjia of the second child, it is unlikely that we will win." Li Jiancheng's brows furrowed and he hesitated.
"We caught the slut of the eldest grandson, and those little rabbit cubs, and the second child still dares to move?" Li Yuanji retorted.
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, why should a big husband have no wife? If you were to give up that supreme position for the sake of a few women and children? Li Jiancheng glared at Li Yuanji and said.
"As long as you get to that position, what kind of woman doesn't? I can have as many children as I want, so I'm not so stupid! Li Yuanji squeaked his teeth and said with a lewd face.
"Since you can give it up, what about the second child, you can't give it up? His determination is much more decisive than yours! Li Jiancheng thought he knew Li Er very well. I don't know when the Jiaolong brocade robe on his body has been changed to a twelve-chapter gown, which can only be worn by the emperor, and now Li Jiancheng is wearing it on his body, which explains a lot of problems, if those officials know, I am afraid that they will be directly impeached and ask Li Yuan to abolish his position as prince. So he also enjoyed wearing it in private, and this time he appeared in front of Li Yuanji in this dress is also the reason to take a stand.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say!" Li Yuanji said impatiently.
"Let's send some more things and win over the rest of the sixteen guards, so that all the troops in Chang'an City are under the control of the palace, and they can't make big waves with the three thousand Xuanjia of the second child!" Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said.
"The rest of the guys are all old and stubborn, and they don't get in oil and salt, so I think it's better not to bother with it!" Li Yuanji can see it clearly.
"Really? You see, this is the station of the Sixteen Guards, here are the ones we control, these are the rest, you see, compared to the rest of the places we control, where is more important? Li Jiancheng pointed to the simple map on the table and asked Li Yuanji to see the camp of the Sixteen Guards around Chang'an.
"We control the corners of the city walls, or the remote places, and the garrisons that guard the gates have no part of our hands!" Li Yuanji saw the clue after a few glances.
"Yes! So where did the sixteen guards under our control enter the city from? No matter where you go, you will be intercepted, and you will be surrounded by divisions. If it can't help, there will only be six rates left of the prince who has less than a thousand people, and this can be more than the second child's three thousand Xuanjia? Li Jiancheng stroked his goatee, a little worried.
"Well, do as you say!" Li Yuanji didn't hesitate. He could only give up the plan to force the palace immediately, but he still didn't give up: "Then let's take the Qin Wangfu first, this will be fine!" ”
"This is okay, and let's see if our second king Qin, who values love and righteousness, can give up those spoiled wives and young children!" Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement: "The palace will let General Xue Wanche Xue lead the army to surround the Qin Palace, and see if the second child will compromise!" ”
"That's it! I'm just waiting to see the pain of the second child! Li Yuanji was so excited that his empty eyes lit up, and his big ears were fluttering, like a boar in heat.
Li Er didn't know that his family was already in danger, and he was preparing to take Sun Simiao's silver needle to Qinling to find this miracle doctor.
Approaching the early morning, the darkest hour of the night, Showa Palace, Li Yuan was lying on the sickbed: "What do you say the second child will do?" Li Yuan seemed to be talking to someone.
"I'm afraid that King Qin will capture those two people alive, and then bring them to His Majesty to listen to His Majesty!" A hoarse and low voice came from a dark corner, it was the dark one who had already returned after taking Li Er back.
"The second child still wants to save his reputation, but he is still not ruthless enough! It seems that the deepest chess piece has to be activated, and I'm afraid that the second child will go crazy when the time comes, but I didn't expect it to be him! Dark One, go and spread my will, let the seventh prepare, and directly kill the second child when he fights with those two rebels! Beat them to death, I don't want to see those two people again! Li Yuan gasped and said.
"Command!" The dark shadow flashed and disappeared into the night.
King Qin's camp, standing alone at the gate, listening to the terrible screams of night owls in the distance, knowing that what should come is still coming. But he can't resist, because of kindness, but also because he is a soldier, obedience is the duty of a soldier, this sentence is not only modern times, the ancients paid attention to orders and prohibitions, that is, they emphasized obedience.
Early in the morning, a dozen or so knights galloped out of the camp and headed towards Qinling, they were going to find Sun Simiao, with Li Er's order, they must invite back this divine doctor to treat Li Yuan.
In the dark, a figure in armor looked at the figure of the knight who was watching the knight go away outside the camp, and sighed long: The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he can only be sorry. He died again and again to apologize, only this time...... That's it
The figure disappeared and headed towards another military tent in the distance, where the tent that only the core generals of the Tiance Mansion could live in.
