Chapter 397: Fighting in the Dark
Once you have an idea, it's time to think about a specific plan. How about a coup d'état?
Liu Youqiu was familiar with the road, he knew that the coup d'état could not be done by himself alone, and it would not work without the army, so he remembered Zhang Wei.
Before Liu You could find Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei took the initiative to come to Liu Youqiu, and the two hit it off.
"Brother Zhang, Chang'an's army is under the control of King Lantian, if you want to make a coup d'état, it is impossible without the consent of King Lantian. However, it is not easy for me to come forward with the King of Lantian, you have known the King of Lantian for a long time, and the friendship is not shallow, and you have to come out in person Brother Zhang. ”
To be honest, although Liu Youqiu thinks highly of himself, he is still quite jealous of Li Tao.
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I can try, but I don't dare to guarantee that King Lantian will agree." ”
Liu You begged: "That's nature, let's try it first!" ”
Zhang Wei said again: "However, this matter still has to be informed to Your Majesty." ”
After the two of them discussed, they came to Li Longji. Li Longji didn't think about it, and immediately approved their idea. However, let them go back and think about it in the long run.
Li Longji said to Liu Youqiu, who came to him to discuss the coup d'état, this is a big matter, don't leak it, once the time is ripe, it will be too late for us to make another difficulty.
No one thought that the next day, when Zhang Wei was drinking with others, he explained his plan to others while drunk.
After waking up, Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly found Li Longji and narrated the experience.
Li Longji immediately wrote a piece of paper and played Li Dan. said that Liu Youqiu and Zhang Wei were traitors, and instigated the relationship between me and my aunt, Princess Taiping, and asked the emperor to adjudicate.
After Li Dan learned about it. immediately ordered Liu Youqiu and Zhang Wei to be arrested, and prepared to be sentenced to death for the crime of sparse relatives.
After Li Tao found out, he went to intercede because of the two. Li Tao's face Li Dan couldn't help but give it, so he was relegated to Yuezhou and transferred away from Li Longji's side.
At this point, a coup d'état that was still being planned was completely aborted.
……
Zhang Wei came to say goodbye to Li Tao, Li Tao sighed and said, "Zhang Wei." Thank you for your hard work this time! ”
"Being able to do something for Your Majesty and King Lantian shows that I, Zhang Wei, am still useful, why do you have to work hard." Zhang Wei smiled.
"The failure of this coup d'état was caused by you. If you want to carry a big black cauldron, you won't blame me! ”
"Lantian King, I think I, Zhang Wei, was just a county magistrate at the beginning, and I was supported by Lantian Wang. Only today is it. I'm not afraid to carry the black pot. It is my honor to carry the black cauldron for King Lantian and His Majesty. ”
After Zhang Wei left, Li Tao came to the barracks, and he asked Xue Ne and Xie Wan to be invited.
"Two old generals, there are no problems with Yulin and Wanqi recently, right?"
"Lantian King, don't worry, Yulin and Wanqi will be firmly controlled in our hands, and there will be absolutely no problems." The two patted their chests and said.
"I've had a lot of things lately, and there are two old generals!"
"We know that Lantian King is doing great things. It is our honor to serve Lantian King. ”
Li Tao seemed to remember something, and he asked Xie Wan, "Is there anything unusual about Chang Wukai?" ”
Chang Yuankai is the Zhonglang general of Wanqi. Under Xie Wan's men. Although this person is in the army, the shadow has already found out that he is a chess piece arranged by Princess Taiping in Wanqi.
"Nothing has happened!" Xie Wan replied.
"Remember, don't startle the snake, just keep an eye on him."
……
"Poison!"
"Assassination!"
"Something!"
Although Li Longji's wings were cut off one by one, as long as Li Longji was still there, Princess Taiping would not stop, and she and her henchmen had been plotting ways to deal with Li Longji.
This time it was Cui Xiang who appeared on the stage, and in a discussion, Cui Xiang took the initiative to propose: "Princess, I have already proposed the idea of poisoning Li Longji, and you always think it is inappropriate." This time, there is a great opportunity, and I hope the princess must seize it. ”
"Oh? You name it, come and hear it! "Princess Taiping is very interested this time.
"Shangguan Wan'er once had a little Gong'e named Yuan'er......" Speaking of this, Cui Xiang's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's name, Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly, but instantly regained her composure.
Princess Taiping's subtle change did not escape Cui Xiang's eyes, and he continued: "Yuan'er lost her parents when she was a child, and she was raised by Wan'er, and the two were as close as mother and son. I corresponded with Wan'er, and I didn't shy away from her at all. Not long ago, I went to the grave for Wan'er and met Yuan'er, and she told me that she was now making red arrow powder, a maintenance medicine for Li Longji. If the princess agrees, I will contact her, as long as she mixes the poison into the red arrow powder, Li Longji will definitely die if she takes it, so that it will not be easy for the gods to know the ghosts. ”
When Princess Taiping's group heard this, they began to talk about it, some in favor and some against.
Princess Taiping thought about it for a long time, but now she can't come up with a better way, she thinks this method can be tried.
……
"Miss Yuan'er, I'm Li Tao, the king of Lantian!" Li Tao got straight to the point.
Early this morning, Li Tao sent someone to invite Yuan'er to come over. When Yuan'er came, Li Tao was already waiting for her.
"Yuan'er has seen the King of Lantian!"
Although Yuan'er looks very ordinary, she has an indescribable temperament.
After Li Tao invited Yuan'er to sit down, he smiled and said, "I thought that Miss Yuan'er wouldn't come, but it's really good to see Miss Yuan'er today!" ”
To be honest, Li Tao was really worried, but now that he saw Yuan'er, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"King Lantian, in fact, we have met for a long time." Yuan'er said lightly.
"Oh? We've met? Li Tao really couldn't remember when he had seen this Yuan'er girl.
"King Lantian is really a noble person, do you remember when you first arrived in Chang'an, you went to the Taiping Princess's Mansion for a banquet, and fought poems with my Shangguan Niangniang at the banquet?"
Li Tao nodded: "Remember." ”
"At that time, I accompanied Shangguan Niangniang to the banquet."
Li Tao vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a maid by Shangguan Wan'er's side at that time, but at that time, Li Tao spent all his energy on dealing with Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, and he didn't care too much about it.
Li Tao owes and says: "I didn't care about it at the time, please forgive Miss Yuan'er!" ”
Yuan'er said directly: "Actually, even if King Lantian doesn't come to find Yuan'er, Yuan'er will come to King Lantian, I want to ask King Lantian about it." ”
"Oh, I don't know what? If I can help, I will do my best! Li Tao said.
Li Tao found Yuan'er just to let her help. Now that Yuan'er has something, if she doesn't help her solve it, how can she do it wholeheartedly?
"I want to ask King Lantian to help me take revenge!" Yuan'er gritted her teeth.
"Revenge? What revenge? For whom to avenge, can you be clearer? Li Tao asked patiently.
"Huh?" Li Tao was taken aback when he heard this. (To be continued......)
