Chapter 670: The Secret Discussion of the Quiet Room

readx; In the evening, the search that lasted for a day finally ended, although the search ended, but the arrest of the Northern Tang Dynasty spies had just begun, the army arrested a total of more than 5,400 people, most of them were arrested in the name of private ordnance, a large number of arrests of suspects caused a strong anger among the people of Chengdu, Cui Yuan, the left prime minister, immediately wrote to Li Heng, he pointed out that the reason why the people hid a large number of ordnance was because of the large number of soldiers of the Geshuhan army who fled and brought the ordnance into the people, which has nothing to do with the Northern Tang Dynasty. It is hoped that Li Heng will immediately issue an order to release these innocent people and maintain stability in Chengdu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Guo Ying, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, swore that the spies of the Northern Tang Dynasty must be among these 5,400 people, and they must not be let go easily, and they must be identified one by one, and they would rather catch a thousand by mistake than let one go.

It was not until the evening that Li Heng finally issued an order, and he adopted a compromise opinion, which could lift martial law in Chengdu, but it was very likely that there were Northern Tang spies hiding among the more than 5,000 people, and he hoped that the military would screen and release the people as soon as possible and restore calm.

Peng Wangfu, Li Wei's mood was extremely low, this afternoon, he hurried into the palace, wanting to expose Ling Hufei's conspiracy, but he encountered a cold reception, his father used the excuse of physical exhaustion, he didn't see him, but soon the news came from the palace, the saint was not physically tired, but Ling Hufei's words touched the saint, after Ling Hufei left, the saint has been pondering.

Obviously, Ling Hufei's words today have moved his father, although his father did not make a clear statement, but he refused to see him, which is a hint and a bad signal.

"Sir, what shall I do now? My father must have given up on me. Li Zhi's voice carried a kind of crying, revealing the deep fear in his heart, he was a pessimistic and cowardly, a slight setback was defeat, he seemed to see the viciousness in Li Fuguo's eyes, as if he saw the second brother ordered him to be tied to the execution ground, and the high beheading knife was raised, which made him shudder.

He didn't have any ambitions now, he just wanted to keep his life, he wanted to give up.

"Your Highness, I only ask you one word, do you want to fight or give up?" Yan Kai stared at Li Wei with blazing eyes.

"I.... I don't know. ”

Li only lowered his head slowly, and his lips pursed, "I think Taixue may be more suitable for me." ”

Yan Kai was speechless for a long time, this useless waste hasn't been done yet! Just give up? Yan Kai was very disappointed in him, he had also betrayed Li Qing'an and wholeheartedly assisted Li Wei, but now it seems that this person is a dou who can't be supported at all.

Li only wanted to give up, but he Yan Kai couldn't give up, otherwise, how could he explain to Li Qing'an, just when he wanted to persuade Li Wei again, a report from the guards came from outside the door, "Wang Xiangguo urgently asks to see!" ”

Li was only a little afraid of Wang Heng, he looked at Yan Kai as if asking for help, he wanted to find an excuse not to see Wang Hui, but Yan Kai shook his head and said: "Your Highness, Wang Xiangguo is coming, there must be something important, Your Highness can't be missing." ”

"That sir..... Join me? ”

Yan Kai sighed secretly, would the emperor be decadent like this if he didn't see him once? This King Peng is too weak.

"Alright! I'll just sit behind His Highness. ”

Accompanied by Yan Kai, Li Qi finally gained a little confidence, and he immediately ordered: "Please invite Wang Xiangguo to meet in my quiet room." ”

The quiet room is also a secret room, with no windows on all sides, the walls are thick bluestone, and several rooms around it are vacant, and no one is allowed to enter.

The study is not far from the secret room, the two of them went over to wait first, for a while, a guard led Wang Heng to hurry over, judging from Wang Heng's pace frequency, he could also see the anxiety in his heart, he got more detailed information, not long after Ling Hufei and Li Heng talked, Li Fuguo once again persuaded Li Heng not to abolish the East Palace, the foreign enemy is current, when stability is the first, it is the persuasion of these two people, Li Heng finally wavered.

Wang Heng knew very well in his heart that the fundamental reason why Li Wei had a chance was that Li Heng himself wanted to change the crown prince, and it was Li Heng who hinted at him and Cui Yuan and asked them to support Li Wei.

But now, Li Heng is shaken and wants to retreat, he is the emperor Laozi, of course the Li family doesn't dare to do anything with him, but what about himself! He supported Li only with great fanfare, and after Li Heng died, would the Li family spare him?

Li Heng wavered, but he pushed him Wang Heng to the point of no disaster, no matter what, he must save this situation, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, to break this game, the key is still here Li Wei.

Wang Jue walked into Li Wei's study, and when he saw Yan Kai standing behind Li Wei, he couldn't help but be stunned, why is this person there?

Wang Hui has known Yan Kai for a long time, as early as when Yan Kai was still a staff member of King Qing, he didn't like this self-righteous staff member very much at that time, and later King Qing died in Anxi, but Yan Kai ran back, which made Wang Hui a little suspicious, he felt that this Yan Kai was not a very loyal person, of course, when King Qing lost power and was placed under house arrest, how could this person still be loyal to follow King Qing until death, wouldn't he go to Li Qing'an? Or will Lee Kyung-an not take advantage of him?

Based on his understanding of Li Qing'an, he suspected that King Qing was deceived into going to Anxi, which was probably related to this Yan staff, and he was suspicious, but Wang Heng had no evidence, and Li Yu proved it for Yan Kai, so he had nothing to say.

However, he really didn't like this staff.

"The ministers and kings see His Royal Highness King Peng!"

"Wang Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Wang Heng sat down, he glanced at Yan Kai, Li only understood what he meant, and said: "Mr. Yan is my confidant, I have nothing to talk about with him, Xiangguo doesn't have to worry about anything, please say anything directly." ”

"Alright! The minister urgently came to His Highness to tell His Highness that the situation was very unfavorable for us. ”

"Sangkook feels it too?" Li Wei's voice trembled a little, and his mentality, which had just calmed down, became tense again.

Wang Heng nodded, "The fundamental reason is that the military call of the Northern Tang Dynasty has helped the prince a lot, and the saint thinks that the Northern Tang army is going to attack Shuzhong, so he wants to seek stability, and does not consider the abolition of the prince for the time being." ”

Li was only stunned for a moment, he was also afraid that the Northern Tang Army would call, "Xiangguo, will the Northern Tang Army really attack us?" ”

"Impossible!"

Wang Heng replied very resolutely, although everyone was afraid that Li Qing'an would come in, but Wang Heng thought that Li Qing'an might not really destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, at least before An Lushan's rebellion was exterminated, he would not do it, he left the Southern Tang Dynasty to prepare for his accession to the throne, and he would definitely consider attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty at the end, Shuzhong was temporarily safe, and this time Li Qing'an attacked, at most, to take Xiangyang.

Moreover, the Southern Tang Dynasty also had an army of nearly 400,000 troops, which may not be able to compete with Li Qing'an, and in addition to Shuzhong, it may not be so easy to easily take Shuzhong.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, before An Lushan is destroyed, he will never attack us, at most Jingxiang, but if you want to attack Shuzhong, it is not so easy."

"I also agree with Sangkook's opinion."

Yan Kai, who had been silent, also spoke, "It takes a lot of conditions to attack our Southern Tang Dynasty, mainly to mobilize a large number of troops, now Li Qing'an is fighting everywhere, his army is very scattered, once he mobilizes a heavy army, it will inevitably affect the situation in Hebei, before An Lushan and Shi Siming are exterminated, he will not mobilize the troops of Henan and Hedong, in this way, how can he compete with the 400,000 army of Jiannan?" ”

Yan Kai's words reassured Li Wei, and he was also slightly relieved, and said in a low voice: "Then what should we do now?" My father's attitude towards me is cold, and I am very worried! ”

Yan Kai wasted no time in interjecting again, "Wang Xiangguo, Your Highness wants to give up!" ”

"No way!"

Wang Jue stood up suddenly, and he said angrily: "Your Highness has given up, so what should we do?" What should so many ministers do to support you? If Li Xian ascends the throne, will he spare us? And His Royal Highness, he will never let go, this is the struggle for the throne, since it has been done, it must be done to the end, otherwise everyone will die without a way to die. ”

Li was so frightened that he trembled, "But..... But our strength is not as good as the crown prince, and the father is ..... It's changed again, what can I do? ”

"Your Highness is confused!"

Wang Heng sat down slowly, and persuaded bitterly: "Where is Your Highness's strength weak, Your Highness has the support of the left and right, and the Wu has the support of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, are these forces not enough?" The minister heard that even the clan supports His Royal Highness, what strength does the prince have, it is nothing more than the inner palace, and then what? Among the courtiers, there is only one household Shangshu Linghu Fei, what else does he have? Besides, the Holy Lord is not giving up on the abolished prince, it's just that the situation is tense now, he is just suspended, I understand the Holy One, the things he decided will never be changed easily, His Highness should have confidence. ”

Yan Kai said again: "Xiangguo, I think His Highness's biggest weakness is that he is too weak, and his means are not ruthless enough, so the Holy Lord will hesitate, His Highness must change this point before he has a chance." ”

Yan Kai's words reached Wang Hui's heart, he immediately had a good impression of Yan Kai, he nodded to Yan Kai, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, the minister is here tonight to ask His Highness to make a decision." ”

"What.... Decision? ”

Wang Heng stared at Li Wei and said word by word: "Strike first and kill the prince!" ”

.........

"Your Highness, I don't approve of the assassination of the crown prince!"

As soon as Wang Heng left, Yan Kai immediately expressed his objection, and the assassination of the crown prince would only calm the feud, not intensify the feud as Li Qing'an hoped.

Yan Kai's opposition also talked about Li Wei's thoughts, assassinating the prince, where did he have the courage and courage, Yan Kai's opposition made him relieved, and he hurriedly said: "I do think that it is not appropriate to assassinate the prince, the prince has a tight defense, how can he be easily assassinated, once it fails, my father will not spare me." ”

"Your Highness, the humble position just says that it is inappropriate to assassinate the crown prince, but it does not mean that we will not assassinate."

Li was stunned, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”

"To be lowly means to assassinate, but not the crown prince, but another person."
