After a while, Li Dan stretched out his hand and pointed at Princess Taiping and said, "Taiping, you are really calculating, you actually killed people in broad daylight, no wonder you have to confront her face to face." Now that she has been killed by you, and there is no proof of her death, you should be satisfied now, right? ”

Princess Taiping was inexplicable: "When did I kill someone?" ”

"You are still quibbling, the assassin is your family's house slave, and he has been killed on the spot by Yulin, do you still want me to bring the body to you before you admit it?" Li Dan trembled.

Princess Taiping was silent, seeing that what Li Dan said was true, needless to say, she was calculated this time. She knows Li Dan too well, and knows that he is angry now, if she doesn't bow her head again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good today.

Thinking of this, Taiping gritted his teeth and bowed his head and said, "Brother Huang, I was wrong!" For the sake of the brothers and sisters, please also ask the royal brother to be light. ”

Sure enough, Princess Taiping's trick worked, Li Dan's voice slowed down, and he asked, "Taiping, tell me, is the third brother's death related to you?" ”

When Princess Taiping heard this, she couldn't help but panic, but she quickly calmed down: "Brother Huang, please believe me, I never did this." ”

Li Dan looked at Princess Taiping and sighed deeply......

……

Li Long basically thought that Li Dan would make a move on Princess Taiping this time, but in the end, he just ordered Princess Taiping to think about it behind closed doors.

Seeing this situation, Li Longji understood in his heart that what Li Tao said was not wrong at all, as long as Li Dan did not finally make up his mind, he had to continue to endure it.

……

A few days after the Qingming Festival. It rains every day, and the road from Chang'an city to the mountain villa by the Qujiang Pond of Princess Taiping is muddy by cars and horses. At this time. The number of pedestrians on this road has increased sharply, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and they are all in a hurry. Judging by their tense faces. It is estimated that something big has happened.

Princess Taiping's villa was washed by a misty spring rain, lovely green, but terrifyingly quiet. There is no sound of bamboo, no noise. There was no laughter. The entire villa was quiet, and there was no trace of life in sight, and even the people gathered in the chamber of the villa were silent. Let the rain rustle the branches and leaves.

Princess Taiping is dressed differently today than usual, dressed in a military costume and heroic, except that she is not wearing a heavy helmet. The rest are all neatly dressed. Even the quiver was full of arrows. She sat on the top and looked at the henchmen who were sitting or standing on both sides one by one: Cui Xiang, Dou Huaizhen, Cen Xi, Xiao Zhizhong, Hui Fan, Lu Xiangxian, and Chang Yuankai, the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, Jia Yingfu, the regular attendant of the Right Scattered Cavalry, and others.

Princess Taiping was thinking about it behind closed doors at home, she thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out: instead of playing cat and mouse with Li Longji every day, it is better to take a risk and take him down in one fell swoop.

Princess Taiping decided to launch another mutiny and kill Li Longji. Today. She summoned a group of henchmen here to discuss the mutiny.

Princess Taiping stood up from her chair. looked around and said in a resolute tone: "Li Longji is too cunning, he doesn't do anything in the open, but secretly he keeps stumbling on me. If this continues, the Emperor will be completely on his side, and we will be unlucky at that time. These days, there has been no movement in the palace, and the news from the palace says that there is no abnormality. However, in my opinion, things may change, so I invite you to discuss the plan today. ”

Hui Fan preemptively said: "Li Longji is young and strong, how can he be the emperor's material?" As long as the princess gives an order, in less than two hours, I can enter the palace. It's just that time is of the essence, without further ado......"

Dou Huaizhen shook his head: "It's easy for you to say, now that Chang'an's army is all in the hands of King Lantian, if you want to hide this matter from him, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

Princess Taiping smiled: "I also know this situation, so I asked Cui Xiang to inform King Lantian first, and he showed his attitude, Yulin Wanqi will not participate in our battle with Li Longji, and he will not help each other." ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, if Li Tao sat on the wall and watched, with the current strength comparison, Princess Taiping's side would be a sure winner.

Dou Huaizhen got up and said: "Tomorrow, the Emperor Taishang will be in the Hanyuan Palace, and I will ask General Chang Yuankai to lead the army to break through this gate and arrest Li Longji." Xiao Zhizhong and I are in the south, and we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Zhizhong proposed: "Judging from the situation in the past two days, the officials must be prepared, and they can't delay time, I intend to act tonight, suddenly attack the East Palace, and kill him by surprise." ”

"No," Hui Fan hurriedly said, "Tonight is too rushed, and the day is not auspicious." Tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac. ”

The result of the discussion was that the majority agreed to do it tomorrow morning.

Princess Taiping saw that Lu Xiangxian didn't say a word, so she asked, "What does Lu Qing think?" ”

Lu Xiangxian said worriedly: "The minister thinks that the emperor inherits the unification with the merit of Pingwei, and supports it from top to bottom; If you remove it, there should be a legitimate reason, otherwise, I am afraid that people will not be convinced. ”

Chang Yuankai retorted: "What Lu Ge Lao said is a scholar's opinion, since ancient times, the victor is the king, and the loser is the coward, who dares to disagree with Qin Shi Huang's rule by force?" Empress Zetian has been on the throne for more than ten years, who dares to disagree? ”

Princess Taiping also persuaded: "Although Lu Qing's words are not unreasonable, Li Longji has been hiding for a long time with his meager merits, and now he has ascended the throne as the emperor, and it is difficult for the government and the opposition to accept it; And he separated the court and fornicated with his father and concubine, which should have been abolished a long time ago, but the emperor was mediocre and unreasonable, so he was fulfilled. Please think about these carefully. ”

Cui Xiang also added fuel and vinegar and said: "Brother Lu, your official lord is the princess of Taiping. The princess has something to do today, she should know her kindness and move forward bravely, otherwise, everyone will have to wait for death. ”

Lu Xiang was silent for a while, got up and said goodbye to Princess Taiping: "The minister is old and timid and afraid, so I won't participate in this matter." ”

Princess Taiping sneered: "Okay, you go and tell the secret to receive the reward!" ”

"I'm sorry that the minister can't do his best when the princess needs it, how can he do the trick of a whistleblower?" Lu Xiang said first, bowed his hand to Princess Taiping again, and went out.

Chang Yuankai was furious, drew his sword and drove out. Princess Taiping hurriedly shouted to him: "General Chang, slow down, let him go." ”

At this moment, Xue Chongjian, the eldest son of Princess Taiping, walked out from behind the curtain, and he knelt down to his mother and said, "Auntie, please listen to your son's words, you must not do anything tomorrow." My family has thousands of acres of fertile land, thousands of houses, and mountains of wealth, gold and silver, so why should I take the risk of rebellion? If it is done, what will I do? If the matter fails, the nine clans will be punished. I hope that my mother will think twice. ”

Princess Taiping didn't expect her son to oppose her, so she was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed her son's hair, punching and kicking. He ordered him to be tied up left and right, and sent to prison and locked up.

Xue Chongjian ignored the blood flowing from his face, and repeatedly begged his mother: "My son risked his life to speak, please turn back immediately." If you don't listen, you can't regret it. ”

He turned his face to Dou Huaizhen and the others and scolded: "It's all shameless villains like you, who are obsessed with power, my family will be defeated in your hands, and you won't get a good death!" (To be continued......)
