As soon as Li Longji heard Li Linfu and Wang Ji say that Xiao Qu was sick and wanted to support the army to respect the prince and rebel, the teacup in his hand fell onto his clothes, and the yellow-green tea soup spilled out, overflowing with fragrance. Gao Lishi on the side hurriedly helped him pick up the teacup and wipe the tea soup on his clothes.

This is also a good thing that Xiao Qu ill gave him, he called Longjing Ming Qian tea only a little more than a little more, he himself was reluctant to drink, this time I saw Li Linfu, Wang Ji and Chen Xilie come to find him, but also with the intention of showing off and showing off, and invited them to drink this kind of fairy tea brought by Xiao Qu from Xianshan. There is also this fresh way of brewing and drinking tea, as well as this kind of high-legged chair and high-legged table with a backrest, so that it is comfortable to drink tea with your back on the chair, in the end, it is an immortal disciple, not only eats finely, but even drinks tea better than ordinary people.

Li Longji didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the admiration of the three people, but such a big crime, which was to put people to death. He was a little angry at that time, Xiao Qu was sick and wanted to support the army to respect the prince and rebel, how could it be possible? He was so good to him, he hadn't even seen the prince!

Li Longji stood up angrily, pointed at the three of them and said loudly: "How did the Marquis of Shouchang County offend you, why can't he be tolerated, and he has to be put to death?" He sent someone to assassinate him before, and now he is falsely accusing him of honoring the crown prince? If you don't tell me a meridian ugly thing today, I will never spare you! ”

The three of them chuckled in their hearts, especially Li Linfu, who said in their hearts that you didn't react like this when I framed Wang Zhonghei before. It seems that this Xiao Qubing is now much more trusted than Wang Zhonghe, and his ability is no worse than Wang Zhonghe, but the more this is the case, the more it must be removed as soon as possible. He admits that he has miscalculated and is a little anxious, but is there a way out of the way out? Li Linfu was confident that he knew Li Longji very well and knew his weakness, he gritted his teeth and said with sincere fear:

"It's not that the ministers are targeting the Marquis of Shouchang County, it's just that what he did makes people have to think that what he asks for is big. Your Majesty, you see him training soldiers, every morning and evening he said that the ten-mile armed cross-country run, he can ride a horse and watch the soldiers of the forbidden army run. However, like all the soldiers, he wore full armor and carried all the equipment, and together he had more than 40 pounds to accompany the soldiers of the whole army.

He did not stop for a whole hour when the soldiers stood on the pile, and if any soldiers were overtrained, he personally rubbed the soldiers with medicine and wine to massage their limbs and muscles, and at night he also pulled the soldiers to talk and tell stories. Your Majesty, don't you think he has gone too far in this method of winning people's hearts?

Your Majesty, what do you think, he is the Marquis of Sanpin Founding County, General Jin Wuwei, with such a high status, he is willing to eat and live with the soldiers, undress them, push them to eat, and even personally give the soldiers medicine and massage. Your Majesty, you may not know that many soldiers are grateful to the Marquis of Shouchang County because of this, and they hate to repay him with death.

It's only been more than ten days, and more than 2,000 Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and more than 100 Chang'an Ranger have already been subdued by him, and they obey him! Shouchang County Hou is so eager, doesn't there be some other plan? To say a big disrespectful word, once something happens, who will the two thousand flying dragon forbidden army listen to, is it Your Majesty or the Marquis of Shouchang County, it is really unpredictable? If you don't believe your majesty, you can test a thing or two. ”

Li Longji sneered: "The auxiliary ministers have trained the army for me with all their heart, how can they become the ones who seek it, and how can they become the ones who buy people's hearts?" Since he has won the hearts of the army, why should I hand over the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army to him as the commander? ”

Li Longji is a person who values feelings and treats people he trusts very generously, and Xiao Quzhi is currently a person he trusts very much. Although he couldn't understand many of the practices that Li Linfu listed, and he didn't feel that it was in line with Xiao Quai's noble identity, he still believed that Xiao Qubing was loyal to him. Therefore, he didn't think much about it, but felt that Li Linfu had nothing to do to disturb him.

Of course, Li Linfu expected that these alone would not make Xiao Qu sick, but he knew that it would definitely make Li Longji a little suspicious. So Li Linfu was ready to add another fire to dispel Li Longji's trust in Xiao Qubing little by little and increase his suspicion of him.

"This is understandable, but what is the explanation for Xiao Quai's friendship with the Longwu Forbidden Army?"

The four armies of the Northern Ya, the left and right Longwu armies, the left and right Yulin armies, although the Longwu forbidden army is smaller than the Yulin army, but the soldiers of the Longwu army are much more elite than the Yulin army, and the status is also higher, it is the closest army to the emperor except for the inner flying dragon soldiers.

When Li Longji planned the Tang Long coup to kill Empress Wei, it was because he befriended the middle and lower-level officers of Wanqi (called Wanqi in the Longwu Army and Feiqi in the Yulin Army). During the coup d'état, he almost relied on Ge Fushun, Chen Xuanli, and Li Xianqi to help him seize control of the Longwu Army. After that, Ge Fushun drew his sword and went straight to the Yulin camp, killed the two Yulin generals appointed by Wei Hou, and seized the military power of the Yulin army, which was a successful coup d'état.

Li Longji is simply too familiar with this kind of way of befriending middle-level 10,000-level cavalry officers and finally controlling the army and seizing power, and he himself started from this, so he is quite sensitive to this one.

Of course, Li Linfu is also quite clear about Li Longji's weakness of this mindset of being wary of others learning from him and making a copy of the Tang Long coup d'état.

Li Longji began to be a little vigilant in his heart, but he still said quietly on the surface: "What did he do?" ”

Li Linfu said: "Five or six days ago, he often interacted with more than ten thousand knights. The ministers have checked, and they are all ten thousand knights who followed Sun Feng to Anxi to preach the decree. It was very inappropriate for him to be an instructor in the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and to make friends with ten thousand knights in private, and the most important thing that made the minister feel that he had bad intentions was that Xiao Quai's illness actually let these more than ten thousand knights get close to ten thousand knights Guoyi, isn't this suspicious? ”

Li Longji frowned and muttered for a long time: "How do you know about this?"

Wang Jie's heart tightened, and he snorted: "When my younger brother Wang Jian was feasting in Beili yesterday, he accidentally saw a quarrel in the courtyard. In the end, I realized that it was 10,000 knights who followed the 10,000 horsemen all the way to the workshop, and they were finally discovered. Under the pressure of that Guoyi, the ten thousand knights confessed that the marquis of Shouchang County asked him to do this, in order to make friends with this Wanqi Guoyi and do what he liked. ”

Of course, he wouldn't tell Li Longji that the real situation was that Wang Weld and Xing Wei had a banquet in Pingkangfang for the two Wanqi Guoyi of the Longwu Army, and that the Ten Thousand Knights sneakily followed behind and was discovered by the subordinates of Xing Wei, the head snake of the Chang'an Gangster, and arrested the Ten Thousand Knights for interrogation, only then did he know that Xiao Qubing asked him to do this.

Li Longji said noncommittally: "Then how do you say that he respects the crown prince?" ”

Li Linfu hurriedly said: "In addition to the previous these, the ministers also found that Na Xiao was sick and had a close relationship with Hanlin to be edicted by Li Yu. He went to Chang'an several times, and Li Mi visited his house in Qinrenfang, and every time the two talked happily, Li Mi was raised in the East Palace since he was a child. ”

"Fuchen Immortal Disciple, half-immortal body, Li Changyuan is dedicated to the pursuit of immortality, what's so strange about walking around with him? The Maoshan faction and the Louguan faction also sent two Taoist priests to accompany them, is there anything wrong with this? ”

"But he also accepted King Jianning as a disciple, and taught him everything, and he cared for and doted on him."

"That's what I agreed to!" Li Longji was angry, and his tone was very stern.

"He met with the crown prince today, and the two had a long secret conversation in Li Qina. After Xiao Quai, he said goodbye and went to Chang'an, and it didn't take long for the prince to come out, and everyone saw it, and the prince was very happy and energetic. "Li Linfu threw the ultimate killer - Prince Li Heng, of course this is slander, but the problem is that this matter cannot be confronted.

Li Longji's heart was shocked, his fists in his hands were slightly clenched, and he was obviously a little nervous: "You mean King Jianning?" How many times have they met? What was said? ”

Li Linfu smiled and said: "I don't know if I have seen the ministers before, but this time they met at the king of Jianning, and according to those palace maids and eunuchs, the prince was full of sorrow before he saw the marquis of Shouchang County, but when he came out, he was full of smiles." Isn't that suspicious? I really don't know what they talked about, but the minister had to guess that it must be the Marquis of Shouchang County who promised to respect the prince, and the prince was inexplicably excited. ”

Li Longji's brows furrowed, he himself was a coup veteran, and he had staged two coups to seize power. For the first time, he was an ordinary county king, and after launching a coup d'état in Tanglong to overthrow his aunt Wei, he put his father Li Dan on the throne and became the crown prince himself, with the help of the power of the Longwu Forbidden Army.

The second congenital coup, he was the emperor at the time, but the power was in the hands of his father Emperor Taishang, and he was oppressed by Princess Taiping at that time, and the Emperor Taishang could depose him as an emperor at any time. That is to say, he was the emperor in name at that time, but in fact his identity was the same as the prince of the prison state, and finally he launched a coup d'état to seize the forbidden army, forced Princess Taiping to death, and forced the emperor to release power. Because of the experience of these two coups, he formed a fixed thinking in his mind, so since he became emperor, he has been particularly wary of the crown prince, and the most wary thing is that the prince colludes with the army.

If it is really as Li Linfu said, Xiao Qubing actively won over the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and tried to befriend Guo Yi of the Longwu Forbidden Army. According to Xiao Quai's ability, it won't be long before these middle-level officers of the Longwu Forbidden Army will be co-opted by him, which means that Xiao Qubing can control two forbidden armies at the same time. Coupled with the relationship between Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi, if he wants to respect the crown prince as the emperor, it will be easy.

Li Longji frowned, but Gao Lishi was frightened. Gao Lishi never believed that Xiao Qubing would rebel, he thought that this was Li Linfu Wang Ji couldn't tolerate Xiao Quai, and he was jealous that he could kill Xiao Qubing in order to compete for favor.

Gao Lishi hurriedly said softly: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard from the Hou of Shouchang County today that he was helping King Jianning treat his leg injury, saying that it would heal in five or six days." At that time, the old slave still didn't believe it, and they all said that it would take 100 days to break their muscles and bones, how could it be healed in less than 20 days? But the Marquis of Shouchang County was full of confidence, and he made a bet with the old slave, and the old slave was wondering, could it be that the prince would also see that King Jianning's leg injury would heal immediately, so he was inexplicably excited? There are also old ministers who never believe that the Hou of Shouchang County will be responsible for His Majesty, His Majesty is so good to him, and he recognized the concubine Niangniang as his sister, and the Hou of Shouchang County is not an ungrateful person. ”

After a pause, Gao Lishi said with a smile: "If Your Majesty still has any doubts, you can call the Hou of Shouchang County to inquire, and I think the matter will soon come to light." ”

Li Longji's brows stretched suddenly, yes, he was so good to him, why did he still respect the prince, what did he want, and he also recognized Yuhuan as his sister, so he wouldn't do this kind of thing.

Li Linfu greeted the ancestor of Gao Lishi a thousand times in his heart, but he still had a look of concern for the country and the people on his face: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." ”

"You say." Li Longji said impatiently.

"Among the more than 100 rangers recruited by Xiao Quai, there is one named Ma Sui, who was very valued by Xiao Qubing and entrusted with important tasks, and when Xiao Qubing was not there, it was this Ma Sui who presided over the training of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army. Some people saw that this Ma Sui had conspired with Xiao Qubing alone in the secret room for a long time late at night, and many people heard this Ma Sui preach to his nephew Ma Yong more than once, 'There will be great chaos in the world', 'There will be great changes in the world'. Now that the four seas are leveling the river and Qinghai Yan, where is the chaos, where is the big change? The ministers thought about it, unless they wanted to honor the prince, where did the big change come from? ”

Li Linfu said coldly: "This Ma Sui's demonic words confuse the public and say that the world is evil, Your Majesty can hand this person over to Yousi for interrogation, and you will know when the time comes." As for Gao Weng's statement that the Marquis of Shouchang County will never fail His Majesty, don't you know that people's hearts are unpredictable? This kind of thing would rather be credible than not, Shouchang County Hou has this ability and this prestige, and it only took more than ten days to subdue the two thousand Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and he bought and won the hearts of the people in this way, which shows that his ambition is not small. Even if he doesn't mean it now, how can Gao Weng guarantee that he won't mean it in the future? ”
