Volume 2 Cangyan Black Cloud Chapter 087 Don't miss the opportunity

When the news of An Lushan's rebellion came, Gao Lishi saw Li Heng's opportunity.

An Lushan's rebellion was a disaster for the country and the emperor. However, for this prince who has lived a precarious life for 16 years, it is a God-given opportunity that can not be found!

No matter how suspicious the emperor is of him, at this time, the emperor not only cannot depose him, but on the contrary, must rely on him. No matter how strong Yang Guozhong is, he can't challenge Li Heng at this time, he can only watch Li Heng come to the front from behind the scenes and grasp the military and political power of the empire!

The gentleman waits for the time to rise, this is Li Heng's "time"!

However, to the disappointment of Colliers, Li Heng did not seem to see this opportunity.

The crown prince originally had the title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", and during the Chengping period, this title was a complete false title.

However, when the national crisis is at hand, this title has practical significance.

An Lushan's army is in Lintong Pass, and Li Heng, as the crown prince, should take the initiative to invite Ying and lead the army to resist the rebels.

If the emperor pleads, this means that Li Heng can not only take advantage of the situation to grasp military power, but also make contributions and cultivate power.

Even if the emperor did not agree with Li Heng to take charge of the army, Li Heng also showed the world a high-spirited attitude.

However, for more than 20 days, inside and outside the Daming Palace, it has become a pot of porridge, but Li Heng has not moved. He hid alone in the deep palace, as if An Lushan's rebellion had nothing to do with him.

Sixteen years of suffering probably exhausted the prince's spirituality and courage.

It was not until today that Gao Lishi met Li Heng in this Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

Li Heng was ordered by the emperor to lead hundreds of officials to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to participate in the blessing ceremony.

Seeing Li Heng, Colliers was even more disappointed.

Li Heng does not have the mental outlook of a person who is waiting for the time to rise.

On the contrary, he appears more weak, even obscene! Standing in front of Gao Lishi, he didn't look like the prince of the Tang Empire at all, but more like an angry little daughter-in-law, with a sad face and no tears.

"These days, Brother is a member of the country, and he is busy all day long, and the younger brother has specially simmered eight treasure soup for Brother to replenish his body." Li Heng said diligently.

Two servants came over with soup bowls in their hands.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble, how can the old slave afford it!" Gao Lishi bowed his head and said, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, it was all at this time, Li Heng, as the prince, did what a woman should do!

"Brother, why be polite. Drink it while it's hot. ”

The next person used a jade bowl to hold a bowl of soup porridge, Li Heng personally took it and held it in front of Gao Lishi with both hands: "Brother, this eight-treasure soup is made of ginseng, bird's nest, and pearl and jade ......."

"Prince!" Gao Lishi interrupted Li Heng's words: "The 200,000 troops in Tongguan are fighting hard against the rebels in the ice and snow, if the soldiers can drink the eight treasure soup boiled by the prince, they will definitely work harder!" ”

Colliers didn't dare to say it too clearly, so he could only lightly click on it.

Li Heng's best opportunity is to lead the army as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. However, he has lost this opportunity, and the emperor handed over Tongguan to Ge Shuhan!

Although he lost this opportunity, Li Heng could still settle for the next best thing and go to Tongguan as the crown prince to work in the army.

Once Li Heng arrives at Tongguan, he can supervise the army as the crown prince!

The general will not accept the order of the monarch outside, and the prince is outside, what can the emperor do! Besides, he was in an army of 200,000!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A cry came out of Colliers' heart!

However, he did not dare to shout this cry, he could only hope that the crown prince could hear the cry in his heart.

Li Heng was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Brother said this, although it is a good intention. This eight-treasure soup is extremely difficult to prepare, and requires a variety of precious supplements, simmering slowly. Tongguan has an army of 200,000, even if it is only given to generals above the seventh grade, there are hundreds of people, where can there be so many. ”

"The old slave was not thoughtful, and His Highness smiled."

Gao Lishi had to take the jade bowl, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this Li Heng has completely become a straw bag, and he didn't even hear such a clear hint!

Over the pond, snowflakes were flying, and those annoying crows had long since flown away.

Gao Lishi took a sip of the hot soup and returned the jade bowl to his subordinates.

"This eight-treasure soup is not to Brother's taste?" Li Heng was very disappointed.

"Where, salty and light is suitable, just in line with the taste of the old slave, the prince bothered!" Gao Lishi bowed his head and said: "The old slave is just thinking, then An Lushan is in Luoyang, I don't know what to drink?" ”

"The younger brother heard that An Lushan is planning to become the emperor."

"It's up to him!" Colliers sneered.

Gao Lishi has always looked down on An Lushan, and in his opinion, the cunning and arrogance possessed by this Hu general is really too low-level!

And An Lushan's actions in capturing Luoyang completely confirmed Gao Lishi's views.

An Lushan raised troops, playing the banner of the Qing monarch in accordance with the secret decree of Emperor Tang Ming, which was used to gather the military heart of Fan Yang's generals. But now, Fan Yang's army has not yet conquered Tongguan, and the Tang Dynasty is still as stable as Mount Tai, An Lushan is in a hurry to claim the title of emperor and openly confront the Tang Dynasty, which is completely self-defeating!

Based on this alone, Colliers predicted that An Lushan would not do anything. If the Tongguan army judges the situation and waits for an opportunity to counterattack, An Lushan, which is defending Luoyang, will fall into an extremely passive situation. It is very likely that it will not be long before the An Lushan rebels will collapse!

Because of this, Colliers became agitated.

Because, this means that the chances of the crown prince Li Heng are getting fewer and fewer!

Once An Lushan is defeated and the emperor has survived the crisis, in turn, he will attack Li Heng!

Because, Li Heng's performance in this crisis not only disappointed Gao Lishi, but also disappointed the emperor. From beginning to end, Li Heng, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, did nothing!

Of course, it's not that he didn't do anything, he still boiled a bowl of soup!

The country is in danger, and the prince is boiling soup!

His position as the crown prince will definitely not be kept!

"It won't be long before An Lushan will be defeated!" Gao Lishi looked at Li Heng and said slowly: "Prince, you should work more on state affairs!" ”

Colliers once again reminded Li Heng not to do nothing.

Li Heng still didn't hear Gao Lishi's voice: "If it is as Brother said, it is a great fortune for the country!" But it's not in vain that the little brother is here to pray for the fortune of the country! ”

"It is within the duty of His Highness to pray for the blessing of the country." Gao Lishi was very anxious: "But just praying for blessings, how can it show the prince's heroism!" ”

"Brother is serious, the younger brother doesn't have any eloquence, just filial piety to his father, doing his best to be a son of man, and his own father is in charge of national affairs."

Colliers bowed his head and was silent, he found that he had said too much, and it was too useless!

Emperor Tang Ming's eloquence has been exhausted on Yang Guifei's belly. And his son is still talking about what kind of eloquence and strategy!

"There's just one thing, and the younger brother is very puzzled." Li Heng said.

"What?" Gao Lishi said perfunctorily absentmindedly, for this Li Heng, Gao Lishi completely lost confidence, and the things he didn't understand in his heart were just a bowl of eight treasure soup.

"Yan Gaoqing is the first traitor of the dynasty, and his daughter Yan Quanying is a thief, and she deserves to die according to the law! But why did his father imprison him in Dali Temple Prison instead of Yushitai Prison? Could it be that her father is still going to be extra kind to her? ”

Li Heng suddenly asked about Yan Quanying, Gao Lishi was unprepared and couldn't help but be surprised.

The detention of Yan Quanying in Dali Temple Prison was not the emperor's intention, but Gao Lishi's secret manipulation.

Dali Temple Prison and Yushitai Prison are all serious offenders, but there is indeed a difference between severity and severity. Imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison, in general, the probability of capital crimes is low, but this is only relatively.

Gao Lishi was coerced by Heiyundu and had to sacrifice Yan Gaoqing, but he also fell into an extremely dangerous situation, Ma Sui and Li Riyue fell into the hands of Heiyundu, and their whereabouts are still unknown, so that Yan Quanying became the only card that Gao Lishi could play. Although this card is not safe, something is better than nothing.

Gao Lishi wanted to save Yan Quanying's life, so he quietly did something and ordered someone to pick Yan Quanying out of Wei Jiansu's family and put him in Dali Temple Prison.

In fact, whether Yan Quanying can be kept or not, Gao Lishi himself is not sure.

Yang Guozhong had already set his sights on Yan Quanying, and he would never want Yan Quanying to survive.

What's more, there is also a black cloud capital where the dragon has no head and no end, and he also has to get along with the Yan family.

Colliers can only take one step at a time.

Yan Quanying is not only the last card in Gaolishi's hand, but also his seven inches.

Ma Sui and Li Riyue have fallen into the hands of Heiyundu, Yan Quanying is the only one in the hands of Gao Lishi who knows the truth about Changshan, if this card is played well, Gao Lishi can use this to launch a counterattack against Yang Guozhong, and can also use this to bargain with Heiyundu.

But if she doesn't play well, Yan Quanying can become Gao Lishi's life-urging talisman - she is completely aware of the relationship between Gao Lishi and Wei Jiansu!

Colliers kept Yan Quanying, he was gambling!

It made him nervous.

But I never expected that as soon as Yan Quanying was imprisoned in Dali Temple, Gao Lishi was worried, and someone asked about Yan Quanying.

And the one who asked was not Yang Guozhong, nor the ghostly Black Cloud Capital, but the prince Li Heng, who made Gao Lishi hate iron but not steel.

Colliers was alert.

"How dare the old slave speculate on the holy will."

Li Heng suddenly lowered his voice: "Brother, junior brother heard that last night, someone was in prison in Dali Temple and wanted to harm Yan Quanying. ”

"Huh? Yan Quanying is dead? Colliers' back broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that Yang Guozhong or Hei Yundu wanted Yan Quanying's life, but he didn't expect that they would be so impatient.

"Nope." Li Heng said: "Someone rescued her. ”

"Who?" Gao Lishi was surprised, this time, he was surprised not that someone wanted to kill Yan Quanying, but that someone actually wanted to save Yan Quanying.

Moreover, this man actually succeeded!
