Lu Ping arranged a carriage to take Zhao Dezhong to the palace of the king of Chu, and arranged for a subordinate to pretend to be Zhao Dezhong's retinue to follow on horseback. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Who is driving at night?" A Xuanwu Jingwei Lang asked sharply.

Zhao Dezhong took out a gold medal and handed it to his entourage, and said in a low voice: "Tell them, I'll go to the Chu Palace!" ”

The attendant took the gold medal and raised it high, and said coldly: "Open your dog's eyes and see!" ”

General Lang recognized it as the gold medal of the King of Chu, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The humble position has no eyes, please forgive me!" ”

"Let's go to the Chu Palace, you can escort us."

"Obedience!"

The carriage continued to drive, followed by more than 100 Xuanwu Jingwei, although it was very loud on the street, but no one dared to intercept it, patrolling the streets in Chang'an at night, not only Xuanwu Jingwei, but also Jin Wuwei, the relationship between the two factions has not been good.

Originally, the establishment was 10,000 Xuanwu Jingwei and 10,000 Jinwuwei, but Li Yuanji relied on the advantage of his prince to snatch 5,000 people from Jin Wuwei, and the strength of Xuanwu Jingwei reached 15,000 people, and Jin Wuwei only had 5,000 people left, which really made Jin Wuwei dissatisfied with Xuanwu Jingwei.

However, since the assassination of Li Gaoqian, the general of Jin Wuwei, the day before yesterday, some people in Jin Wuwei seem to be panicked, and they no longer have conflicts with Xuanwu Jingwei, and they are very low-key in the capital, but Xuanwu Jingwei is very arrogant, and the entire Chang'an City has become the world of Xuanwu Jingwei.

No one stopped him, and the carriage soon arrived at the palace of the king of Chu, Zhao Dezhong got out of the carriage, took out a pass token and handed it to the entourage, and asked them to go back on their own, and he hurried to the mansion.

At this time, it is already a watch, and in the past few days, Li Yuanji has changed his normality, not drinking and indulging, but not taking off his armor, and has been paying attention to various changes in the government and the opposition.

By imposing a gag order, he basically controlled Chang'an City, and the nine gates of Chang'an also fell into his hands, and by using Li Shenfu's illegitimate son as a hostage, Li Shenfu was forced to fully support him Li Yuanji to launch a palace coup.

Although he killed Li Gaoqian, the general of Jin Wuwei, Li Yuan, the son of heaven, did not immediately appoint a new general, but replaced Ren Wenlian, the general of Jin Wuwei, who actually controlled the army, and replaced He Miao as the general of Jin Wuwei, and He Miao was the absolute henchman of Li Yuan, the son of heaven, and He Miao controlled Jin Wuwei, and he controlled all the gates of the palace.

This appointment disrupted Li Yuanji's plan, and he was also very worried that his father and emperor had already been alerted, otherwise why not directly appoint the general, and actually replaced General Jin Wuwei, which caught them off guard.

In the study, Cui Wenxiang said slowly: "There are two possibilities, one is that Li Gaoqian's death alerted the Son of Heaven, in order to prevent Jin Wuwei from losing control, he directly appointed a confidant, and the other is that he has long wanted to change He Miao to master Jin Wuwei, but there has been no chance, this time it is just an opportunity, and He Miao's qualifications are insufficient to be appointed as a general, so he was promoted to a general first, and at the same time temporarily vacant the position of a general, and a year later He Miao was directly promoted to a general." ”

Li Yuanji pondered for a moment and said, "Which one does the military advisor think is more likely?" ”

"I think it's the latter."

"Why?"

Cui Wenxiang said with a smile: "If it is the former, he will not only appoint General Jin Wuwei, but also the Imperial Forest Army and Xuanwu Jingwei will be replaced, this speculation only needs to ask the people in the palace to know, in addition to He Miao, are there any other appointments?" ”

Li Yuanji said hatefully: "Where did Zhao Dezhong die, why is there no news yet?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a guard outside to report, "Your Highness, Gonggong Zhao is here." ”

Li Yuanji was overjoyed, as soon as he talked about Zhao Dezhong, he came, Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "Quickly invite him in!" ”

After a while, Zhao Dezhong walked in quickly, bowed down and saluted: "Old slave, see Your Highness!" ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Zhao Dezhong greeted Cui Wenxiang again, and Cui Wenxiang asked with a smile: "Did my father-in-law come directly from the palace?" ”

Zhao Dezhong shook his head, "That's too dangerous, I'll go to the East Market to find a wine shop to have a drink first, hide people's eyes, and then come over." ”

"Is my father keeping an eye on him?" Li Yuanji asked anxiously.

"It's not the Son of Heaven, it's Jin Wuwei, He Miao is a new official today, and everyone who leaves the palace is strictly checked, although he doesn't dare to interrogate me, but I'm worried that he will send someone to follow him, so it's better to be careful."

"This guy is really going to hurt me!" Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and said.

Next to him, Cui Wenxiang asked again: "How is the situation in the saint?" ”

"The saint fell ill this morning, and his illness worsened in the evening, and I don't know the specific situation."

Zhao Dezhong is not a eunuch in the inner palace, but the chief eunuch of the imperial study, who is in charge of secrets, and Li Yuanji generally only gets news from Concubine Yin De.

Hearing that his father's condition was aggravated, Li Yuanji was a little anxious in his heart, he was worried that he would miss the opportunity, but Cui Wenxiang smiled and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's just that the saint's condition has worsened now, and he hasn't fallen unconscious yet, at least for a day or two, we must find a way to control Jin Wuwei." ”

Cui Wenxiang asked Zhao Dezhong again, "May I ask Gonggong Zhao, what other appointments do the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Wuwei have in addition to He Miao's changes?" ”

This is Zhao Dezhong is in charge, no one knows better than Zhao Dezhong, Zhao Dezhong shook his head and said: "At present, except for He Miao, there are no generals appointed or dismissed, the strange thing is that the saint did not mention General Jin Wuwei at all, and the old slave thought that the saint had forgotten, and reminded him yesterday, but there was still no movement." ”

Cui Wenxiang said with a smile: "It seems that it is really my second guess, the Son of Heaven wants to leave the position of general to He Miao, he doesn't even trust the royal family very much, Gonggong Zhao said two days ago that the Holy Lord plans to release King Zhao from Beijing, is there any movement now?" ”

"Originally, the Holy Lord was going to make a decision today, but he was delayed because he was ill, and I heard that King Zhao was so anxious that he was going crazy."

Li Yuanji didn't care about his brother Li Xuanba's affairs, he only wanted to solve Jin Wuwei now, he asked anxiously: "Then the military advisor said how should we solve Jin Wuwei?" ”

Cui Wenxiang pondered for a moment and said: "Let me think about this question again, I probably already have a plan, but the details need to be considered again." ”

Cui Wenxiang closed his eyes again, and at this time, Zhao Dezhong said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is a sentence that the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not?" ”

Li Yuanji glanced at him and nodded, "Say it!" What words? ”

"Your Royal Highness, Yang Yong, the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, also wanted to launch a palace coup d'état and kill Yang Guang, the king of Jin, but he was too kind a woman, taking into account the feelings of his brothers and sisters, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, but the news leaked, and he was imprisoned by his father Yang Jian and deprived of the crown prince.

"Are you asking me to directly poison my father and ascend the throne?" Li Yuanji asked coldly.

"The old slave doesn't mean this, the old slave is saying that His Royal Highness must deal with the crown prince, and then use the power of the regent to control the army, once he controls the army in Guanzhong, he will immediately let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to abdicate, and His Royal Highness will ascend the throne, don't expect King Qin to support His Highness."

Cui Wenxiang suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Your Highness, Gonggong Zhao said very well, since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been ruthless, only iron-blooded and ruthless can finally ascend to the throne, the crown prince is indeed the biggest obstacle to His Royal Highness's power, the key is that the court officials support him, once the saint is in a coma and cannot manage the government, Chen Shuda and others will definitely support the crown prince to govern, and His Royal Highness will make a wedding dress for the East Palace in vain." ”

Li Yuanji was a little unimpressed by Zhao Dezhong's words, but he obeyed Cui Wenxiang's words, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment and asked, "But what if my Xuanwu Jingwei can't enter the palace?" ”

"Then kill He Miao too!"

Cui Wenxiang said coldly: "The Jin Wuwei Zhonglang below will only need to attract three of us and it will be done." ”

"But He Miao is dead, doesn't this remind my father?"

"So we must grasp the timing, the timing must be accurate, and we can't make a mistake." Cui Wenxiang's eyes showed a fierce light, and they were running out of time.

Li Yuanji nodded, "I will let Luo Yumin do the matter of buying Zhonglang General." ”
