readx; Li Qing'an beheaded Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi at the city gate in front of the crown prince and hundreds of courtiers, and this incident suddenly caused a sensation in Chang'an and became a hot topic after tea and dinner among Chang'an people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole Chang'an City is discussing this matter, and the major wine shops and inns can hear people talking about this matter, and their views are also different, most of them are divided according to their likes and dislikes, that is, the so-called benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

Those who hate Li Qingan scolded him for being arrogant and domineering, and killing people in front of the prince were comparable to Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty; Those who like Li Qing'an praise him for his pleasure and revenge, Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi betrayed first, this killing can make him establish a high prestige in the army; Neutral people said that Li Qing'an's real purpose was to kill people and establish authority, and to give a warning to the courtiers of Chang'an, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

But the most worrying thing is the Southern Army, Li Qingan almost killed their commander in front of the Southern Army, is the Southern Army willing to give up? But the actual situation was unexpected, the southern army did not react, Wang Sili, who rushed from Tongguan, took over as the commander of the southern army, and Chen Xuanli, the former general of the right Yulin army, took over as the general of Jin Wuwei, and the army was unusually calm, and there was no stirring because Meng Yun was killed.

And Li Heng, the emperor to whom Meng Yun was directly loyal, did not react, and many people speculated that it was very likely that Li Qing'an and Li Heng reached a secret agreement, and Li Heng betrayed Meng Yun for his position as a prisoner.

After all, Meng Yun's death is just a small episode, the real highlight is the new emperor's accession to the throne, and there is no doubt that the crown prince Li Shi will ascend the throne, and it is only a matter of time now.

Lin De Hall of Daming Palace, Empress Shen of the Tang Dynasty officially summoned Li Qing'an, Shen Pearl was born in a famous family in Huzhou, beautiful as a flower, virtuous and pure, she is only twenty-eight years old this year, although her husband's death brought her a heavy blow, but seeing that her son can inherit the throne, it brought her great comfort, for this, she is full of gratitude to Li Qing'an.

"Li Xiangguo, the saint often said to me, Xiangguo is the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, until today I didn't understand the words of the saint, Xiangguo fully supported the crown prince's accession to the throne, I am grateful."

Shen Pearl didn't sit behind the curtain this time, she sat on a circle chair carved from pear wood, surrounded by more than a dozen maids, she was wearing a plain white dress, her face was not powdered, and she looked a little haggard.

The reason why she didn't sit behind the curtain was because the crown prince Li Shi was standing next to her, and Li Qing'an's murder on the street just now really surprised him, but his henchman eunuch quietly told him that Li Qing'an was actually shocking the emperor, and he came to his senses.

Although the crown prince Li Shi is not yet thirteen years old, he has been receiving formal education since he was six years old, and his mind matures earlier than ordinary teenagers, he understands his situation, his grandfather is competing with him for the throne, and he can finally get the throne, which is the result of Li Qing'an's full support behind him, and his heart is also full of gratitude to Li Qing'an.

Li Qingan bowed slightly and smiled: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the ministers and the Emperor Taishang and several important ministers of the government and the opposition have been discussed, sooner rather than later, the crown prince will officially ascend the throne tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Pearl breathed a sigh of relief, she specially summoned Li Qing'an today for her intentions, she knew that although the Emperor Taishang failed to seize the throne this time, it did not mean that he would give up in the future, although her son was named the emperor, but in fact he had no soldiers and no power, he was just a puppet emperor, the actual power of the court was in the hands of the Emperor Taishang and Li Xiangguo, whether her son could be safe and sound in the future, whether he could take power smoothly, the key was whether Li Qingan could fully support his son, Therefore, she must take care of this Li Qingan.

Shen Pearl glanced at his son lovingly, and said earnestly to Li Qing'an: "Li Xiangguo, as the king of Zhao, has a blood relationship with Shi'er, and is similar in age to Shi'er's father, and is like a brother. ”

Li Shi immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Li Qing'an, and said, "Father Shang is above, please accept my worship!" ”

Li Qing'an hurriedly helped Li Shi up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please get up quickly, kill the minister!" ”

Shen Pearl also got up and bowed deeply to Li Qing'an, and cried: "My mother and son's surname is on Shang's father. ”

Li Qingan sighed and said, "Even if the minister is full of liver and brains, he must protect the safety of the queen and the prince!" ”

．．．．．． Leaving the Daming Palace, Li Qing'an took a carriage on the Suzaku Street and walked slowly, hundreds of personal guards around him, he was a little confused in his heart, at this time he was so close to the throne of his dreams, if he mobilized another 100,000 Anxi troops, it would be enough to defeat any force, and he stepped on the Hanyuan Palace, but his real feeling was that he was so far away from the throne.

Li Yu died, and the successor that people considered was the crown prince Li Shi, the emperor Li Heng, or Li Longji, and even some people mentioned other clans, but no one mentioned him Li Qing'an, whether it was the court minister or an ordinary person, no one thought of the possibility of him Li Qing'an ascending the throne.

What's the problem? Li Qing'an felt confused for a while, and when the carriage arrived near Anrenfang, Li Qing'an suddenly heard a clear singing voice not far away.

'Chang'an Li, Anxi Li, although it is divided into two places for the same root, Anxi protects the society in a hundred battles, and finally makes a wedding dress for Chang'an.....

"Stop!"

Li Qingan snorted, and when he saw a man in a green robe walking into Anrenfang, he immediately ordered left and right: "Quickly find the singer!" ”

More than a dozen cavalrymen immediately rode towards An Ren, and Li Qingxin was surprised, who could this be, and it actually said to his heart.

In a moment, his guards brought a middle-aged man, this person was about forty years old, slender and long, with clear eyes and eyebrows, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones, he was surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen, but he walked calmly, without the slightest panicked and frightened look on his face.

Walking to Li Qing'an's carriage, he put his hand behind his back, looked at the sky proudly, and did not come forward to give Li Qing'an a salute, several pro-soldiers were about to reprimand him angrily, but Li Qing'an stopped the pro-soldier with a wave of his hand, he stepped out of the carriage, arched his hand and smiled: "The song that Mr. sang just now seems to be talking about me." ”

The man glanced back at Li Qing'an and said lightly: "This official has thought too much!" There are so many people with the surname Li in the world, why is it you. ”

Li Qingan was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Do you know who I am?" ”

The man looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "There are no more people who can be escorted by the army in Chang'an City, none other than Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Wang Sili, Chen Xuanli, An Baoyu and Li Qing'an, Ge Shuhan is a Hu person, Guo Ziyi and Chen Xuanli are old, Wang Sili left Chang'an at noon, An Baoyu led the Yulin Army, so who do you say you will be?" Besides, don't you have the word Anxi written on the flag of your guard? ”

Li Qing'an couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he heard that he was quite contemptuous of himself in his tone, and he teased himself a little, but he still restrained his annoyance, and said with a smile: "Mr. knows that I am Li Qing'an, and you dare to tease me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

The man smiled slightly, "If you are a general, I am naturally afraid of you, and I dare not tease the general, because I am afraid of death, but now you are Li Xiangguo, if Li Xiangguo doesn't even have this amount of tolerance, then what are you doing in Chang'an?" ”

Li Qingan couldn't help but squint his eyes and laugh when he heard what he said, "What did Mr. say I came to Chang'an for?" ”

"Didn't I just sing? At least not to make a wedding dress for Chang'an, right? ”

Li Qingan stared at him for a long time, and suddenly bowed to him and said, "Please teach me, sir!" ”

The man laughed and said: "Xiangguo thinks why I sing, it's really because I'm poor and want to get a glass of wine here in Li Xiangguo, but this is not a place to talk." ”

Li Qingan nodded and said to his soldiers: "Give up a horse and return to the barracks immediately." ”

The soldiers helped the man onto his horse, and the group sped up to the barracks outside the Mingde Gate.

Li Qing'an's tens of thousands of troops were stationed in an open field five miles outside the Mingde Gate at this time, and when everyone returned to the barracks, Li Qing'an ordered someone to bring him up.

The middle-aged man walked into Li Qing'an's big tent, although he was not so respectful, but he was not as rude and arrogant as on Suzaku Street, since it had been made clear that he was here to seek a job here, then he at least became a little polite.

He arched his hand to Li Qingan and smiled: "I am from Fengyi County, Tongzhou, surnamed Wei, called Wei Qingping. ”

"Oh! Is there a relationship between Mr. and the famous Merriam-Webster? ”

"Five hundred years ago, an ancestor was just that."

The man named Wei Qingping smiled and said: "I have been poor since I was a child, I studied poetry and books, I came to Chang'an to take the exam after I was twenty-five years old, and I took the exam for more than ten years, but I didn't get to the gold list, but I met a group of poetry friends and drinking friends, they all called me 'Feng Yi crazy student', a few months ago Cen Shen wrote to me and asked me to go to Anxi to develop, I was a little tempted, but I met the general in Chang'an, I don't know if the general can tolerate me as a madman who doesn't understand etiquette?" ”

Li Qingan saw that his demeanor was calm, he talked and laughed freely, and he had a good impression of him, so he smiled and said: "Anxi is a meritocracy, I don't care about your family background, I don't care about your appearance and demeanor, if you want to mix a glass of wine with me, then at least you have to show some real skills, say it!" Why do you want me to give you wine? ”

Wei Qingping did not shy away from it, so he said frankly: "The general killed Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi outside the Mingde Gate, some people scolded the general for being tyrannical and cruel, some people exaggerated the general's grievances, and some people said that the general's move would affect the image of the general in the hearts of hundreds of officials, I think it's nothing, people who don't like the general, even if the general accompanies 10,000 smiling faces, he still doesn't like it; On the contrary, if a person likes a general, even if the general kills 10,000 people on the street, he will still praise the general for killing well, and killing Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi can be described as a mixed gain, but the general is the right minister, but I think it is inappropriate. ”

"Why?"

"It's very simple, because the position of the right minister is not so easy and leisurely, from Zhang Jiuling, from Li Linfu, and even including Yang Guozhong, each of them is a good opportunity, Li Linfu almost every day has to be busy until dark to return home, although Yang Guozhong is not capable, but he is just as busy, but he is also moving the folds home to deal with it, no matter how big or small, all must be approved by the country, if the general resigns from the Anxi Festival Envoy, it is good to say, you can do your best to deal with government affairs, and in the future, Bo will be no less than Zhang Jiuling's name, but in fact, for the general, The power of Anxi is far more important than the right minister's power, and the general is not for the prime minister to gain a good name, so that the general has to deal with the affairs of the prime minister and the military affairs of Anxi, where can he get so much energy, and how can he have time to think about the affairs of the world? ”

Li Qing'an was like being woken up in a dream, after going east, he went all the way, defeated An Lushan, thwarted Li Heng, shocked Chang'an, ascended to the position of right minister, and became Li Shi's father, which can be described as extremely beautiful, which made him a little forgetful.

But this Wei Qingping woke him up with a stick, this person said very reasonably, once he worships the right minister, he will definitely weaken his control over Anxi, once something big happens to Anxi, he can't afford to go back to deal with it, over time, he is likely to lose Anxi, and his control of Anxi is far less than An Lushan's control of Fanyang Hebei, he wants to be the right minister, is it a little inappropriate?

Li Qingan immediately said to the left and right: "Go and serve Mr. Wei a cup of tea." ”

"Thank you, General!" Wei Qingping thanked him.

"Mr. Wei doesn't have to be polite, please continue, then in Mr. Wei's opinion, how should I behave in Chang'an?"

Wei Qingping smiled and continued: "In my opinion, the general can occupy a phase in the political hall, but he can't manage the practice, the general can entrust a trustworthy person as the right minister, let him embody the will of the general, and the general is deep behind the scenes, regulating behind the scenes, although it is not so beautiful, but I believe that what the general wants is not just scenery." ”

Li Qingan paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, he was a little suspicious at first that this person was from a wrong background, a nameless person talked about military affairs with himself, a little bit of a shallow taste, he doubted whether this person would be sent by Li Heng, but this person said this, but it was very reasonable, like an alarm bell to wake himself up, if it was a person sent by Li Heng, he would never remind himself like this, he was very right, find a right minister's agent, he himself is hidden behind the scenes to carry out control, in this way, he only has to consider military affairs, I also have the time and energy to take care of Anzai.

Li Qing'an glanced at him, remembered the song he sang, and asked, "Then tell me about it, why did Anxi Li make a wedding dress for Chang'an Li?" ”

Their topic began to get deeper and deeper, Wei Qingping's madness was also gone, and he began to show his sincerity in wanting to take refuge in Li Qing'an, he said sincerely: "The general must be confused at this time, obviously he is also the prince of the clan, why is he not nominated for the throne?" Some people even nominated Li Lin, the king of Si Ning, to inherit the unification, and some people nominated Li Zhen, the king of Si Qi, and other princes of the county, but there is no such thing as a general, why is this? ”

"I'd like to know why?"

The cynical smile on Wei Qingping's face disappeared completely, his face was solemn, and he said word by word: "Because the general is not a descendant of Li Shimin, but after the crown prince." ”

．．．．．．． On the eve of the crown prince Li Shi is about to ascend the throne, Li Longji is also making a last fight, Juxian is about eighty miles southwest of Chang'an, is a medium-sized county seat, at this time, Li Longji is stationed in Juxian County under the escort of three thousand iron cavalry, Juxian County Yanei, Li Longji is anxious, he just arrived in Hanzhong and got the news of Li Yu's death, he is anxious and regretful, if he is in the capital at this time, it should be him to preside over the overall situation, with his prestige and influence, he will be effortless to reascend the throne, And he left Chang'an at this critical moment, so that he missed this best opportunity.

But Li Longji was not reconciled, no matter what, he had to try his best to fight, the eighty-mile journey, if he hurried up, he could reach Chang'an before dawn tomorrow.

But the situation in front of him made him depressed, Ge Shuhan led 30,000 Longyou troops in front to block his way, and now his only way is to use his prestige to influence Ge Shuhan, even if he can't pull Ge Shuhan back, then at least let him not block his way.

The person sent by Li Longji to deliver the letter had been gone for more than an hour, and there had been no news, which made him anxious, when there was a sound of running outside the county office, and the guards he sent had returned.

"How's it going, have you seen Geshuhan?"

"Back to the emperor, Weichen saw General Geshu and gave him the emperor's letter."

Li Longji waved his hand and let the person next to him go down, he sat down slowly, and said, "You have to tell me in detail, what kind of expression he had at that time, what he said, not a single detail can be missed." ”

"Yes! Wechen understood. ”

The guard lowered his head and thought about it, then said: "Weichen can feel it, General Geshu read the emperor's letter, and looked very ashamed, he said that there are some things that he has to do, and he definitely doesn't dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, I hope the emperor can understand his situation at that time." ”

"Where was it?"

Li Longji's eyes began to light up a little, he already felt that Ge Shuhan had not completely betrayed him, and the key now was to know what the situation was at that time? Li Longji closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, he remembered that at that time, he was in a hurry to cut the domain, sent the prince to the major feudal towns to take power, and was the first to attack An Sishun, but Ge Shuhan was frightened, and led the army to hide in Dafeichuan, and later he fell ill, perhaps he felt that he had no hope of waking up, so he took refuge in Li Heng.

"And then?" Li Longji asked again.

"General Geshu then said that even if he let the emperor pass, the emperor would not be able to enter Chang'an, Li Qing'an's scouts had already discovered the emperor's movements, and as long as the emperor was close to Chang'an, he would be ambushed by the Anxi army."

Li Longji nodded, he has gradually calmed down now, he believes that Ge Shuhan is telling the truth, he brought so many troops back to Chang'an, how could he enter the city, and even Chang'an City could not get close, with the ruthlessness of the third child, he would definitely take the opportunity to kill himself, not only could he not get the throne, but he would even lose his surname in the end.

Once he calmed down, his eagerness to return to Chang'an to compete for the throne became lighter, but he lost the east corner, but he received Sangyu, and Ge Shuhan's attitude made him hope to regain Ge Shuhan's account.

"And then what? And what did he say? ”

"Later, Ge Shuhan hopes that the emperor can take care of the dragon's body, if the emperor needs his help with something, or lacks something, the emperor please just ask, he will definitely help with all his might, and finally General Geshu has been sending me out of the barracks."

At this time, Li Longji, with his decades of political experience, has judged that Ge Shuhan is not absolutely loyal to Li Heng, and what he said and did to him today is obviously trying to find a way back, Li Longji smiled a little proudly, as long as Ge Shuhan is not absolutely loyal to Li Heng, then he will be used by himself sooner or later.

However, Li Longji really didn't understand why Ge Shuhan would waver about Li Heng? Could it be that Lee Hyung failed to ascend the throne, or that Lee Hyung failed to fulfill his promise to him, disappointing him?

Li Longji thought about it, but he couldn't think of the reason why Ge Shuhan was shaken by Li Heng, but in fact, the reason was very simple, because he didn't know that Li Qingan cut off Meng Yun's head with a knife in the morning, but it chilled Ge Shuhan's heart.
