Chapter 197: The Crown Princess

Li Longji had no choice but to make mistakes and go all the way west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the road, Li Longji found out that he was actually kidnapped by Yang Guozhong!

None of the personal guards around him were gone, and all of them were replaced by Yang Guozhong's people.

And Long Wujun, whom he had always trusted, was gone.

The guards beside him were wearing the uniforms of the Long Wu Army, but he didn't know any of them.

Even Chen Xuanli, he couldn't see it.

Li Longji was isolated by Yang Guozhong! By his side, only Yang Guifei and Gao Lishi remained.

Yang Guozhong used his cronies to block Li Longji's left and right, and took strict precautions against Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu. He was not worried about the emperor, the emperor was already pinched in the palm of his hand, even if he knew it, there was nothing he could do. What he was most worried about was that Chen Xuanli met with the emperor.

Until now, Chen Xuanli is still kept in the dark. He did not know the situation of the emperor. Once he sees Li Longji, he will understand what is going on.

Although Yang Guozhong controlled the Longwu Left Army and the Shence Army, the core force was only the two hundred Jiannan Jianshu under Li Defu, and Yang Guozhong controlled the emperor with these two hundred Jiannan Jianjian.

And Chen Xuanli still enjoys supreme prestige in the Six Armies! As soon as he gave the order, the Sixth Army would immediately turn its guns, and it would be difficult for two hundred Jiannan Jian soldiers to resist the enemy.

Therefore, Yang Guozhong tried every means to prevent Chen Xuanli from meeting with Li Longji.

Chen Xuanli was also aware of the strangeness of the Chinese army, but he couldn't see the emperor, he didn't know the details, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, Chen Xuanli is also trying to see the emperor, but Yang Guozhong is very vigilant, and always uses various excuses to prevent Chen Xuanli from meeting the emperor, but these excuses are also high-sounding, such as leading generals are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, and even give orders in the name of the emperor. Yang Guozhong firmly controlled the emperor, and in the name of the emperor everywhere, Chen Xuanli had doubts in his heart, but he did not dare to use force.

Today, Chen Xuanli met Guo Congjin outside Jincheng, and he had a plan and deliberately made a big fanfare, so that his subordinates shouted all the way, "Jincheng father Guo Congjin takes over!" The shouts spread throughout the Sixth Army, not only the soldiers could hear it clearly, but the emperor would also hear it, and he would definitely give an order to receive it. And Chen Xuanli can also meet the emperor with him in the name of escorting Guo Congjin.

The six armies of the Praetorian Guards all knew that someone came to pick them up, and Yang Guozhong had no reason to stop them!

Sure enough, Chen Xuanli and Guo Congjin walked all the way to the emperor's imperial tent, and Yang Guozhong did not dare to stop them.

However, when he was about to enter the big tent, Yang Guozhong still jumped out.

What Yang Guozhong is most worried about is that Chen Xuanli and Li Longji will meet, once the two meet, Yang Guozhong's farce of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to make the princes will be exposed!

Let's say that Chen Xuanli saw that Yang Guozhong stopped Guo Congjin, and he was not furious, and he was about to draw his sword with the hilt of the sword.

Yang Guozhong shouted: "Where is the Long Wu Army!" ”

Li Defu, the commander of the left army of the Longwu Army, led more than a dozen soldiers to rush forward and surrounded Chen Xuanli at the core.

"You're not a dragon warrior at all!" Chen Xuanli shouted.

Yang Guozhong's voice was fierce: "Chen Xuanli bullied the king, take it for me!" ”

Gao Lishi was shocked: "General Chen is the emperor's personal entourage, and the prime minister is doing this, it is really, really ......!" Gao Lishi didn't dare to say it, and if he said it, it was the word "rebellion"!

Yang Guozhong was also iron-hearted, and sneered: "Everyone can punish the rebellious ministers and thieves, why not!" Take it for me! ”

Li Defu took Jiannan Jian, who was dressed in the uniform of the Longwu Army, and rushed up, got off Chen Xuanli's sword, and tied Chen Xuanli up.

Yang Guozhong took the emperor hostage out of Beijing, and the Sixth Army was deceived out of Chang'an by him, once Chen Xuanli knew the truth, Yang Guozhong was a dead end! At this point, Yang Guozhong has only one way to go to the black, and he is ruined!

Suddenly, someone shouted in front of the tent: "The prince has arrived!" ”

I saw the crown prince Li Heng, dressed in armor and with a group of servants, walking to the tent proudly and bowing to Yang Guozhong: "Prime Minister, why do you want to tie up General Chen." ”

"Chen Xuanli blatantly violated the law and despised the Holy Lord, and the prime minister took him down to set an example!" Yang Guozhong sneered: "Now that the emperor is running, the matter is important, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should return to the rear army and abide by his position, the emperor is by his side, with Yang Mou, the prince doesn't have to bother!" ”

Yang Guozhong has always looked down on Li Heng, but now, the emperor has been controlled by him, a cowardly prince, Yang Guozhong is even more disregarded.

But behind the prince, a tactful voice sounded: "General Chen is the general of Longwu, commanding the six armies, and he is the commander of the army. Now that the emperor is traveling in a royal car and stationed in this wilderness, the commander should be stationed in the army, and should not leave his post without permission! Please ask General Chen to hurry back to the army to take care of military affairs, and ask Mr. Gao to accompany Mr. Guo to face the saint. ”

Yang Guozhong looked up and saw a woman standing behind the prince.

The woman was wearing fish scale armor inside, a white robe outside, and her face was not decorated with fat powder, but she was extremely handsome, her face was neither arrogant nor humble, she stood behind the prince and bowed to Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong pondered for a moment and said, "Since it was the crown princess who interceded, Yang spared General Chen once!" Untie General Chen! ”

The crown princess's name is Zhang Liangdi, and her grandmother Dou is the sister of Tang Xuanzong's mother, the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, who was originally a relative of the emperor and the country, and her family background is also prominent. It's just that in his father Zhang Quyi's generation, the family is in the middle, Zhang Quyi is only an eight-grade petty official, and the brothers in the family are even more unpopular, it should be said that Zhang Liangdi, the princess, has no backing in her mother's family.

In fact, Zhang Liangdi's ability to become the crown princess depends on Yang Guozhong.

In the past 20 years, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong have served as prime ministers successively, and they have continuously suppressed Li Heng, and an important means is to cut off Li Heng's wings, and the most likely to become Li Heng's wings is the crown princess's maiden family. Therefore, the princess's maiden family has become an important target of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. Li Linfu was imprisoned in a row, forcing Li Heng and the crown princess to divorce twice. It is to cut off Li Heng's forces.

The first crown princess Wei Shi, her brother Wei Jian served as the secretary of the criminal department, was the backbone of the prince's group, at that time, Wei Jian was deeply appreciated by the Tang Ming Emperor, and held important positions, with the support of Wei Jian, Li Heng was full of ambition. never thought that Wei Jian was not secretive, and Li Linfu got the handle, Li Linfu killed the killer, not only forced Wei Jian to death, but also forced Li Heng to divorce Wei. This big prison eradicated most of the prince's forces.

The second crown princess Du Shi, her father Du Youlin's official position is good at praising doctors, and the official residence is three grades, although the power is not as strong as Wei Jian, but it is still a potential threat to Li Linfu. And Du Youlin himself was not angry, and he was not on good terms with his other son-in-law, and as a result, Weng's son-in-law competed, so that Li Linfu had the opportunity to take advantage of it, build a big prison, and take down Du Youlin's family. Li Heng is not allowed to divorce Du Shi again.

After two blows, the cronies of the Prince's East Palace were almost wiped out. Li Heng was disheartened and completely lost his fighting spirit.

After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong succeeded him as prime minister and beat Li Heng to the water dog. This time, the strategy he adopted was to take the initiative to find a crown princess for the crown prince.

The crown prince has divorced twice, but the position of the crown princess cannot be vacant. If the prince goes to find a princess by himself, it is difficult to guarantee that he will find another one to be a courtier, and when the time comes, it will be quite troublesome to eradicate it. It's better for Yang Guozhong to find one for him himself.

So, Yang Guozhong recommended Zhang Liangdi to Li Heng.

Zhang Liangdi is a royal prince, and Li Heng can be regarded as a good match. The wonderful thing is that Zhang Liangdi's mother's family has no power and power, and it is impossible to give Li Heng strong support.

Even if the Zhang family is not self-sufficient and wants to oppose Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong can easily take it down.

Therefore, this third crown princess is actually Yang Guozhong's puppet.

Zhang Liangdi also knows her status and situation, and has always been extremely deferential to Yang Guozhong, humble in her words, and does not dare to claim to be the crown princess in front of Yang Guozhong. Even, Zhang Liangdi will reveal the news of the prince's side to Yang Guozhong, as if it has become the eyeliner that Yang Guozhong placed next to Li Heng, and Li Heng's every move can't hide from Yang Guozhong's eyes.

The brothers of the Zhang family did not get a half-official position because of Zhang Liangdi, and until now, they are all concubines.

Therefore, over the years, Yang Guozhong has been very relieved of the princess's family, and he is also very satisfied with the deferential and humble princess Zhang Liangdi.

Now, Zhang Liangdi spoke and interceded for Chen Xuanli, Yang Guozhong hesitated a little, but still agreed.

First, Yang Guozhong believes in Zhang Liangdi, and over the years, Yang Guozhong has relied on Zhang Liangdi to spy on Li Heng.

And more importantly, Zhang Liangdi's words clearly reprimanded Chen Xuanli for leaving his post without permission, in fact, it was to warn Yang Guozhong that Chen Xuanli was the commander of the forbidden army, and the soldiers of the forbidden army listened to Chen Xuanli. Even if Yang Guozhong killed Chen Xuanli, he couldn't get out.

Anyway, now that the emperor's big account is controlled by Yang Guozhong, even if Chen Xuanli holds the six armies and throws a mouse taboo, he does not dare to act rashly, besides, Chen Xuanli doesn't know Li Longji's thoughts at all, this Chen Xuanli is stupid and loyal to the emperor, but he is also pedantic, and he doesn't dare to make his own decisions without getting the emperor's will. And the Sixth Army listened to Chen Xuanli, as long as Chen Xuanli didn't nod, no one dared to act rashly. Therefore, Yang Guozhong can rest assured and boldly let go of Chen Xuanli.

Li Defu loosened the tie for Chen Xuanli and returned the sword to Chen Xuanli. Chen Xuanli was about to argue, but when he saw Gao Lishi making a look, Chen Xuanli put away his sword and left the big tent without looking back.

When the crown prince Li Heng saw Chen Xuanli leaving, he bowed his hand to Yang Guozhong and said, "Prime Minister, I will accompany Mr. Guo to meet my father." ”

Yang Guozhong waved his hand: "That's not necessary, please ask the prince and princess to return to the rear army." ”

The car drove out of Beijing, the emperor's car was in the middle army, and the prince was in the rear army. Yang Guozhong never left the emperor's side, Yang Guozhong didn't pay much attention to this prince, anyway, Zhang Liangdi sent news every day, reporting the prince's words and deeds, which was equivalent to being under his nose.
