Chapter 156: Reality is Skinny
In such a hurry? All three were taken aback. Qin Minzhong saw that Dongfang Rui's face was red and white, and he really couldn't hold his face, so he said, "Your Majesty! Is it a bit too eager? Ming'er's return to the dynasty is just a matter of edicts. It was already dark, and in the middle of the night, the troops were transferred and the guards were changed, and it was easy to be frightened. ”
Li Guanqi saw that Nameless was walking into the door, thinking that He Ziming had asked him to come over to protect him when he left, so he smiled slightly, and said softly to Dongfang Rui: "Yuming (Dongfang Rui's character), get up!" Long Xiangwei can't complain about you, it's because my instructions are not clear, which makes you misunderstand. However, you are honest with me now, after the establishment of this dragon guard, did you follow it and make peace with it? ”
The sweat on Dongfang Rui's forehead fell, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" The minister is in the central mansion, where can he have time to meddle in other affairs? ”
"Idleness?" Li Guanqi sneered, "They have already taken over the Ouchi guards, and even the Ouchi guards who were ordered to return to the palace have blocked back." Is this still called idleness? So what's your business? There is such a pile of dry firewood in this backyard, and you don't say a word? ”
"The minister is guilty!" Dongfang Rui pounced and knelt down again.
Li Guanqi nodded and said, "I will give you a chance to make meritorious service now, and when the soldiers from the Jiangbei battalion arrive, you will take them across the river to do this." Long Xiangwei can't stay overnight. ”
At this point, the three central university scholars came to their senses, this Long Xiaowei had already touched Li Guanqi's sensitive nerves, and this matter may really not be so simple.
The shop where Li Guanqi and the others lived was not far from the Jiangbei camp, and it didn't take long for He Ziming to push the door in and say: "Duan Hui, the leading general of the Left Wuwei, and Wang Chaoge, the leading general of the Right Wuwei, have arrived!" ”
"Call in!" Li Guanqi said immediately.
Duan Hui and Wang Chaoge walked in, these two generals were both personally selected by Li Guanqi when the Jiangbei battalion was reorganized, so they all knew Li Guanqi, and they originally saw He Ziming pass on the secret decree. But he brought the two of them to this inn, and he was still puzzled. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the person sitting on it was indeed the current Emperor Qianwei, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down and said, "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”
Duan Hui's personality is relatively straightforward. After Li Guanqi signaled to calm down, he asked again, "Your Majesty, which one is this singing?" How did you end up here alone? What if something goes wrong? The minister will go back and transfer troops to escort him! ”
Li Guanqi smiled and said: "Calling you here is to use your soldiers, how long will it take for you to gather the people of this guard?" ”
Duan Hui and Wang Chaoge glanced at each other, and said with a flushed face with excitement: "Your Majesty, are you going to fight?" Our Jiangbei Ten Guards are all elite soldiers who are always ready, and the gathering of the whole guard is half an hour! ”
"Good!" Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, "I promise you that there will definitely be a battle for you." But not now, it's time for you to do another job. Later, Lord Dongfang will cross the river, and you will take the people of Benwei to follow, quietly disarm the Long Xiang Guard, and complete your work. If you can not die, I will count you as a great achievement! What do you think? Questions? ”
The two generals glanced at each other again and said in unison, "No problem! Silently. Don't kill, don't die! ”
Li Linti, the king of Qi, was one of the princes of Emperor Muzong. Recognized as the smartest one, he has the reputation of a virtuous king at a young age. In fact, he himself has always considered himself the smartest of all his brothers, and since he first saw his father's "imperial spirit" on the dragon chair to the ministers, he has always made the dragon chair in the golden palace his goal.
But the existence of the prince made him feel that he had no chance. Because the order of selection of the princes of all dynasties is "Liyan, Lichang, and Lixian", and the prince is both the son-in-law and the eldest son, it can be said that as long as the prince is here, he, the virtuous king, can only be a virtuous king in his life. So, he wants to ascend to the throne. The prince was a little surprised.
Coincidentally, the crown prince actually remembered to go to the expedition in person, is there any place in the world that is more prone to accidents than the front line of the battlefield? Sure enough, the prince did have an "accident".
Although the mother of the second prince Li Guanqi is one of the four concubines, he himself is a well-known prince of Mune, and it stands to reason that he has no chance to ascend to the throne.
As the third prince, Li Linti, although his mother died early, he was also ranked among the fourth concubines before he died, and he was a well-known virtuous king.
In this case, Li Linti couldn't think of anyone more suitable for the dragon chair in the Golden Palace than himself.
But creation makes people, Li Linti calculated almost every possibility, but he didn't calculate that Emperor Muzong had not had time to decide a new heir after hearing the news of the death of the crown prince, and he himself had braided his hair.
As soon as Mu Zong died, the choice of the prince fell into the hands of Zu Donglai, who was in power at that time, and Zu Donglai thought about his own interests, so he naturally would not choose a person with brains like Li Lintie as the new emperor. As a result, Li Guanqi, who has always been crowned with the title of the prince of Mune, ascended to the dragon throne by mistake.
Li Lintie almost fainted on the spot when he found out that his efforts were actually to make wedding clothes for others, but he also understood that Zu Donglai's power was not something he could move if he wanted to, so he chose to endure it for the time being.
According to Li Linti's idea, as long as he slowly looks for an opportunity to kill Zu Donglai, it will not be a piece of cake to deal with Li Guanqi of Mu Mu Nana? Therefore, when the Western Turkic envoy came to Beijing, he first sent someone to get in touch with the other party, so that he could find support in a foreign country.
But then the development of things was much of his surprise, Li Guanqi, who had never had a big brain, seemed to have suddenly changed as if he was a different person after becoming the emperor, and he actually quietly dealt with Zu Donglai, the number one powerful minister in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Li Lintie was secretly glad at this time, fortunately he was not in a hurry to act, otherwise once the handle was caught by Li Guanqi, it was estimated that the end would be worse than Zu Donglai.
However, Li Linti couldn't let go of the dragon chair in his heart, and seeing that Li Guanqi's throne was becoming more and more stable, his heart was becoming more and more anxious. When he was in a hurry, Li Guanqi suddenly left the capital, he felt that he must not let go of this golden opportunity, so he asked Li Guanqi through Dongfang Rui to make this Long Xiangwei.
According to Li Linti's plan, the organization of more than 2,000 or 3,000 children of the imperial family, idle clan nobles, and descendants of nobles in Beijing, coupled with their deep relations, is an incomparable force.
Of course, Li Lintie was not so complacent that he thought that Long Xiangwei would be able to control the overall situation as soon as it was established, he had a careful arrangement, "Don't make any big moves in a short period of time, and after gaining a firm foothold, take over the power of Suwei and the defense of the Jingshi step by step...... Until the end, Li Guanqi was completely isolated. When the army and hundreds of officials of the Jingshi were all controlled by himself, Li Guanqi was not at his mercy alone? ”
However, Li Linti once again found that "the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel", Long Xiangwei's "soldiers" are either rich or expensive, nearly half of the people are surnamed Li, saying that they are "soldiers", but which one dares to provoke these soldiers? Therefore, the development of Long Xiaowei's power is called a god speed, and the tempers of these soldiers are getting worse and worse, and even Li Linti is not very happy to listen to what he said. "Grandma's, they are all passed down from the blood of Taizu Taizong, and Lao Tzu is also surnamed Li, why should you listen to him Li Linti?" There are more than one or two people who say this.
As a result, the development of things even made Li Linti's eyes wider: when Long Xiangwei was established for half a month, he occupied the gates of the capital division and began to collect city gate taxes; When it was established for a month, it took control of Zongzheng Temple; When it was established forty days ago, it took control of Honglu Temple; Fifty days after its establishment, it began to "help Ouchi guards protect the inner garden of the Imperial Palace......
