Chapter 94: Chang'an Rebellion
Li Chengzong made a big effort to educate Zhongjun in Shazhou, and he couldn't make Chang'an pay attention to it. But what can you do with me? Li Yuan was very happy all day because of this incident, who is Jun? It's not him Li Yuan yet.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, are not good, especially Li Shimin. In terms of losses, most of them are his losses. The most important thing is that you can't stop this loss, suggest to the emperor to stop this kind of behavior, isn't that looking for death! A hat with bad intentions is light, and it is not impossible to say that you have bad intentions and intentions to rebel.
In addition to the eldest grandson Wuji and Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng is also one of them, he is not much better than those two, he is afraid that Li Chengzong will chase after him all the way, and when he really arrives in Chang'an, he wants to cry, and finally arrives home.
The guards at the gate of the East Palace almost didn't recognize Wei Zheng.
"Quick, I have something important to ask to see the prince, report it quickly." Wei Zheng, who was out of breath, said.
When Li Jiancheng learned that Wei Zheng had returned, he thought it was good news, after all, Li Chengzong's request for the Hexi Corridor had been accepted. Regardless of the facts, no matter what the promise you can make has been made.
As soon as Wei Zheng saw the prince, he said in the first voice: "It's a big deal, prince."
"Could it be that there is another change in King Jin? Let's talk about what's going on. Li Jiancheng couldn't sit still.
Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "The King of Jin has no intention of assisting the crown prince to seek the throne, he has already controlled Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, and he is also engaged in the education of loyal monarchs, he is preparing to rebel!"
Li Jiancheng said: "With him? It's not that I underestimate my eldest son, who is powerful but not bold enough to do so. Above the court, outside the court, in addition to Hebei Province, he has some connections, and Shazhou is controlled by him, is there any? He is not weak in the army, but his division is unknown, and now he is engaged in the education of loyal monarchs. If he sends troops west to Chang'an, what is his reason?"
Don't say that what Li Jiancheng said is not unreasonable, you said that your banner of loyalty to the monarch has been played, and it is not good to rebel again!
Wei Zheng was in a hurry, his meaning was mistaken by Li Jiancheng.
"No, the minister didn't say that King Jin wanted to rebel against the emperor, he was waiting to rebel against you or King Qin."
Li Jiancheng didn't know why at first, but he suddenly realized after a while: "You mean that the King of Jin is waiting for me and the King of Qin to make the first move, and he is waiting for the opportunity to move, no matter who wins or who loses." He will be charged with usurpation, so that he will come to the army. ”
"Yes! Prince Mingjian, that's what the minister means. "Wei Zheng thought to himself, you finally understood.
Li Yuanji listened to it for a long time, and he couldn't help it, so he stood up and said, "What are you afraid of, can't I deal with a child?" I think that when he was outside Luoyang City, he Li Chengzong was still messing around behind the ass of this king!" Fortunately, the wind is not strong, otherwise Li Yuanji would inevitably be flashed his tongue because of saying this.
Wei Zheng said: "I want to take the opportunity to get rid of King Qin this time, and the plan cannot be carried on."
"It's all ready, how can you just stop?" Li Yuanji can't wait, he's endured enough for so many years, and it's absolutely impossible to endure it. Besides, the opportunity is rare, and when Li Shimin turns over again, I don't know how much trouble I have to make to get rid of him.
Wei Zheng said: "Then there is only one way to kill the King of Qin, kill the King of Qin and then promise the King of Jin the land of Hexi and Hebei, appease the King of Jin and don't want to move troops, and wait for a long time for the prince to stand firm in the country, and then solve the King of Jin."
"That's good, that's how it should be done." Li Yuanji said.
Li Jiancheng also nodded in agreement, but there were still many questions about how to kill Li Shimin, and it seemed too inappropriate to kill him for no reason.
"O Prince! If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, when we kill the King of Qin, we just have to say what the crime is, and no one will verify it. Wei Zheng persuaded.
Li Yuanji is the same, he said: "If you want to do it, I have heard that the King of Qin has said many times in front of his father that he will inevitably have conflicts with the East Palace in Chang'an, so he wants to stay in Luoyang." News came from the harem that his father also had the intention of letting Li Shimin go to Luoyang, and his father nodded and agreed. At that time, Li Shimin had land in Luoyang, and it would be more difficult to kill him than to ascend to the sky. ”
This night Donggong had insomnia.
More than 2,000 private private martial artists were stationed in the Changlin Gate of the East Palace, known as the Changlin Soldiers. It was also secretly transferred from Li Yi in Youzhou to recruit 300 brave and skilled soldiers to distribute them in the fang market outside the imperial city. and other miscellaneous preparations, everything is waiting to destroy Li Shimin in one fell swoop.
Of course, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also had a plan for a long time, and faced Li Jiancheng with all kinds of deeds. Li Shimin sent Wen Daya and Zhang Liang to Luoyang, secretly recruiting troops in Luoyang, thinking that one day he could not resist and still go to Luoyang, defend the danger of mountains and rivers, and kill the prince Li Jiancheng in the future, after all, if Li Shimin is not afraid of the prince and the king of Qi in the war. However, Li Jiancheng worked hard in Li Yuan's harem, and some people around Li Yuan persuaded Li Yuan day and night that Li Shimin, who was deeply concerned with the military and the people, must not be allowed to go to Luoyang, otherwise Li Shimin would rebel.
Li Yuan was afraid of Li Shimin's ability, and hesitated in his heart, but he still did not make up his mind to allow Li Shimin to stay in Luoyang.
The Qin Wangfu was unstable, and several generals were lost one after another, and Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin and Fang Xuanling were all poached by the King of Jin. Moreover, the momentum of Donggong's desire to do it is becoming more and more obvious, and he is worried all day long.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Chi Jingde are like-minded, they both feel that they can get out of the current predicament by taking the preemptive strike, and only by killing the crown prince and King Qi to ascend the throne will wait for everything to settle, no one can accept it.
Li Shimin was worried about Li Chengzong, not because he was afraid of Li Chengzong, but because he didn't want the Tang Dynasty that he had worked so hard to build. What's even worse is that I am afraid that the Turks will make a comeback, how can I resist them then?
Besides, there seems to be something abnormal in the behavior of the East Palace these days, it seems that it is about to be started, what a dilemma!
One day, Du Ruhui came to Li Shimin and said: "King Qin, there should be no more hesitation in front of the great disaster. Killing the crown prince and the king of Qi is something that has to be done, otherwise a catastrophe will come. As for the King of Jin, Weichen felt that Li Chengzong, the King of Jin, might not really dare to be an enemy of the King of Qin, and when the King of Qin controlled the inside and outside of Chang'an and monopolized the power. It's better to give Li Chengzong half of the country and stabilize him first. When King Qin sits on the throne, it is not impossible to slowly try to do it. ”
It seems that Du Ruhui's handwriting is much bigger than Wei Zheng's, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is half of the country.
Li Shimin was very upset, but what Du Ruhui said about the catastrophe was the truth.
"Then prepare, inform the Xuanwu Gate guard Chang He."
If you talk about the strength of troops in Chang'an City, it is unquestionable that Li Shimin is far inferior to Li Jiancheng. But Li Shimin seemed to be blessed by the destiny of heaven, and the prince's henchmen were often rebelled by him, and a weapon enough to kill Li Jiancheng fell into Li Shimin's hands.
Both sides have plans, but they have never been able to find a chance.
The most fatal thing, Li Shimin's bribery of Chang He, was actually found out by Wang Xiaohu, who was lurking in Chang'an. Wang Xiaohu personally wrapped the information around his body, galloped to Shazhou overnight, and informed Li Chengzong of the incident.
Li Chengzong, who got the news, was finally able to figure it out, and the confusion that had been in place was finally solved.
Li Chengzong said secretly: "I'll just say that how could the strong East Palace be defeated to Li Shimin in Xuanwu Gate, it turned out to be a spy."
Wang Xiaohu's sweat hadn't dried yet, and he hurriedly asked: "It would be good for King Jin to make arrangements earlier, now there is a battle in Chang'an, and a big war is about to start!"
After thinking about it, Li Chengzong instructed Wang Xiaohu: "Notify the East Palace of this matter and let the prince take precautions as soon as possible."
Li Jiancheng is not as good as Li Shimin no matter how he says it, if Xuanwu Gate becomes Li Shimin's tomb, Li Chengzong thinks it will be easier.
