Chapter 803: The Secret Fight in the Hot Spring Palace

Outside the sunrise rice shop, the sound of the people grabbing rice is wave after wave.

Cao Wen and Liu Mo were relatively there in the house, but they didn't say a word.

Cao Wen was silent for a long time before he said: "At this time, the sky in Chang'an is about to change, and it is impossible for the Qin Wangfu not to reveal any news." If there is really no news at all, then there is only one possibility. ”

Liu Modu asked, "What is possible?" ”

Cao Wen said: "There must be an earth-shattering event brewing in the Qin Palace, so we blocked a qiΔ“ news so that we could not find a single clue." ”

"You mean Li Shimin wants to rebel?" Liu Mo asked in a lost voice.

"It's not impossible." Cao Wen said in a deep voice.

"So what should we do?"

Cao Wen said: "It's very simple, in the form of the highest level secret order, inform all the details of the Fengwen Division in Chang'an City, mobilize all of them, monitor YiqiΔ“, and immediately send a message to Youjing to inform His Majesty of the current situation in Chang'an." ”

"But we haven't confirmed it yet!" Liu Mo hesitated.

"Even if there is a possibility of thirty percent, we must also do our best to pass on the news," Cao Wen said decisively, "You must know that Li Tang's chaos is the best opportunity for our Zhao Kingdom, and we must not miss it." ”

At this time, a subordinate walked to the attic with a carrier pigeon and told Cao Wen: "Farewell Cao, the carrier pigeon is urgent." ”

The reason why Zhao Junfeng Wensi has developed rapidly in recent years has gained a lot of information from Li Tang's internal insights, among which the contribution of this carrier pigeon can be said to be indispensable.

The Luoyang Bureau, which specializes in spying on Li Tang's intelligence, raises carrier pigeons in each of the following bases to facilitate the exchange of information. Except for carrier pigeons. The Wind News Division also recruited Turkic eagle slaves and used falcons to scout intelligence.

Cao Wen took the letter and read it. frowned and asked, "Li Yuan actually summoned Yu Wenying and Li Shimin overnight?" After that, Yu Wenying actually left the Hot Spring Palace again and went north. What is the purpose of this? ”

Liu Modu replied: "Don't know, Yu Wenying is the person of King Qi, and Yang Wengan has an old age, so he must go to Gyeongju to recruit Yang Wengan." As long as Yang Wengan comes, Li Jiancheng will have more opportunities to clear his grievances. ”

Cao Wen nodded, paced in place and suddenly said, "If Li Shimin knew that Yu Wenying was going to Gyeongju, what would he do?" ”

Liu Modu groaned: "It is estimated that someone will be sent to kill Yu Wenying halfway." After that, he sent someone to tell Yang Wen about the leakage, so that he was frightened and rebelled, so that Li Jiancheng would die and have no place to be buried. ”

"I see."

Within Chang'an. Undercurrents are surging.

Outside Chang'an, Yu Wenying and his entourage were riding fast horses and were on their way to Gyeongju. He was appointed by Li Yuan to Gyeongju and recruit Yang Wengan.

The reason why he appointed Li Yuan was because he had an old relationship with Yang Wengan, and the two had a good relationship. On the other hand, it is because of Li Jiancheng's trust in him.

Li Jiancheng entered the Hot Spring Palace this time in front of Li Yuan, which was to recommend Yu Wenying to Li Yuan to go to Gyeongju to stabilize Yang Wengan. Li Jiancheng sent Yu Wenying. It is because Yu Wenying is recommended by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. Because Yu Wenying's younger brother Yu Wenbao is Li Yuanji's confidant. When Li Yuanji was crowned King of Qi to guard Taiyuan, Yuwenbao was the protector of Li Yuanji's mansion.

Therefore, Yu Wenying naturally became Li Yuanji's confidant, and Yu Wenying also took advantage of this relationship to climb on Li Jiancheng's boat.

Now Yu Wenying knows the burden on her right now. Whether Yang Wengan can be persuaded to come to Gyeongju has become the key to proving Li Jiancheng's innocence, if Yang Wengan refuses to come to Chang'an after learning that the matter is exposed. even raised troops to rebel, then Li Jiancheng fell into a situation where he was speechless.

After Yu Wenying was sent by Li Yuan. Non-stop on the road.

Just as he was walking to a mountain pass, he suddenly shouted to the guard: "Be careful! ”

The other party pressed Yu Wenying's body. But he saw a sharp arrow shoot down from the mountain, knocking down a horseman.

"There is an ambush! Brothers, be careful. The Tang army guards were on guard.

At this time, on the top of the mountain, dozens of masked swordsmen poured out. The Tang army guards shouted: "On the official road, you still dare to intercept and kill people, do you still have the royal law in your eyes?" ”

The threatening words of the Tang army guards had no effect, and these swordsmen were silent, and then they raised their bright long knives and rushed straight forward.

The two sides immediately started a fight on the official road, Yu Wenying was so frightened at the moment that his soul was not possessed, his legs trembled, and under the protection of the two Tang Army guards, he hid behind a big rock.

But seeing that the Tang army guards were cut down one after another, but the masked swordsmen were not killed or wounded. Looking at the shape, even the elite Tang Army guards were invincible to this group of swordsmen.

Just when Yu Wenying shouted for his life, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road sounded, but he saw a general with dozens of people dressed as county officials arriving.

But seeing the general, he shouted: "I am Wuhou He Rong, and the thieves who are blocking the road will not get out of the way quickly." ”

The masked swordsman turned a deaf ear and continued to fight, so the martial marquis led the county guards into battle. With the addition of this new force, the masked swordsman was defeated at the moment and was forced to retreat.

Seeing that the situation had reversed, Yu Wenying was surprised and delighted and did not forget to say: "He Wuhou, catch one or two live mouths for this official!" ”

However, seeing that the masked swordsmen were very tenacious and fought and retreated, after a while the battle was over, only two wounded prisoners were captured, fifteen were killed on the spot, and the rest fled.

Yu Wenying said to He Wuhou, who was riding a horse: "Thank you He Wuhou for saving me!" ”

The Wuhou surnamed He immediately said: "Don't thank you, I just happened to receive a warning from the people, saying that there was a group of robbers here who wanted to rob, so I came to walk around with people and horses, but I didn't expect to encounter thieves and robbers." ”

Yu Wenying secretly congratulated himself on his good luck, but he didn't know that the reason why he was saved was the result of the arrangement of the Wind News Division. Yu Wenying did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately ordered someone to interrogate the two prisoners. But one of the captives, taking advantage of the inattention of the torturer, snatched a knife, killed his companion first, and then killed himself.

This scene made Yu Wenying and the others dumbfounded, and Wuhou, surnamed He, couldn't help but wonder: "This group of bandits is so strong, they would rather commit suicide than be captured." ”

Yu Wenying sneered: "Of course, if I am not mistaken, these people are not bandits, but dead soldiers in King Qin's mansion!" ”

"Qin Wangfu?"

Wuhou, surnamed He, was taken aback, he didn't know that he was involved in such a high-level struggle. It is said that the discord between the king of Qin and the crown prince is no longer a matter of a good field.

At the same time, on the other side, in the Hot Spring Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both bowed their heads and stood in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at his two sons, and for a while he didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying. But both sides insist on their own words, which seems to make sense.

Li Yuan said to the two: "How many times have I told you, in which family, there is no such thing as father and son turning against each other and brothers falling out of harmony, but where is there any great enmity between father and son." Now that Li Chongjiu has destroyed the Turks, the next step is to use troops against me Li Tang, but what about you two brothers? It's still fighting endlessly all day long. Where is this the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty, my King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, according to me, both of them have been abolished by me, and they should be imprisoned, so that I can reflect on them. ”

Listening to Li Yuan's reprimand, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin knelt down together and said: "My father and sons know that I am wrong, and I ask my father to calm his anger." ”

"Rest the anger, stop the anger, it's these words every time," Li Yuan coughed violently a few times, and then said, "My illness has not been cured yet, you have brought me this out, I am not angry at the moment, but sad, I am afraid that after returning to heaven in the future, I will not be able to see your mother Queen Dou, she told me before she died, I want me to watch you well and grow up safely, but now Sanniang doesn't even recognize her father, don't mention it, Yuanji is anxious, he can't make it, Xuanba died early, I only have the two of you by my side now, and I have high hopes on weekdays, But how can the two of you be so consoled by your mother's spirit in heaven? ”

Li Yuan said that Li Jiancheng was crying, and Li Shimin also lowered his head.

Li Yuan looked at the two sons like this, waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's okay, don't mention it, when Yang Wengan comes back from Gyeongju, you will have his own public opinion, you will live in the hot spring palace for me in the next few days, and reflect on it." ”

"No, father, son, retired." Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin stood up together and left the hall, waiting for the two of them were dozens of guards.

"Second brother, at this moment, do you still want to compete with me for the position of the East Palace?" Li Jiancheng shouted at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned to Li Jiancheng and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people don't understand what you are saying, we are both monarchs and ministers, and we are also flesh and blood, and it is inevitable that some of them will provoke in front of my brother, and please don't believe it." If we lose harmony, the last thing that will be cheap is Li Chongjiu, who deliberately created contradictions between our brothers behind his back. This Li Chongjiu just can't see the scene of harmony between my Tang brothers. ”

"You don't want to push all the faults on Li Chongjiu, you treat Gu a little bit, Gu understands it very well."

Li Shimin listened to the moment and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, say so, the people have no choice, but justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the people have always disdained to explain to others, but today I can make an exception and swear to the sky, I, Li Shimin, have no intention of peeping at the position of the prince of the East Palace." ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned, but obviously he was not gullible.

But from the point of view of the middle guards, it was Li Jiancheng who was aggressive, forcing Li Shimin to be forced to swear and confess his heart. Such discussions have quietly spread among the palace people.

After Li Shimin returned to his courtyard, he was firmly monitored by the nearby guards.

Li Shimin did not feel restrained at all, but practiced calligraphy in his own room, and when it was time to eat, a eunuch entered and said to Li Shimin in a low voice: "King Qin, the villain is Xue Jieyu's person, I don't know if you still remember." ”

Li Shimin didn't even look at it and said, "I remember." ”

"Xue Jieyu asked King Qin if he wanted to stay outside, and the villain could follow the example of dogs and horses."

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "No need." Sue sΓΉ Xue Jieyu, I can't help but worry, I have a perfect plan for a qiΔ“ lonely early! (To be continued......)
