Chapter 472 - No pre-ban on fireworks
Li Heng was on the throne of the main building of Xingqing Palace, and the people around him had already retreated, and even Cheng Yuanzhen was driven out of the main hall by him.
While stroking the armrest of the throne, Li Heng laughed strangely.
After paying a lot of price, what he wanted, he finally got it. Although he is not perfect, Li Jingzhong, who has always given him advice, has escaped Li Longji, but no matter what, he finally sat in this position.
Even if you sit for a day, it's good. It is his, and he will not allow anyone to share it with him.
"Father, you also have today!"
"Li Linfu, have you seen it, I want to punish your whole family!"
"Li Jingzhong, I will bury you thickly, and change your name to Li Fuguo......"
"Haha, haha......"
"Boom!"
Just as he was looking up and laughing, suddenly, an earth-shattering bang rang out, causing him to jump from his throne.
"It's ...... What's going on...... Ye Chang called back? β
Although he was only focused on the throne, he was not ignorant of what happened today, and naturally knew that Ye Chang had beaten An Lushan to the ground with that rumbling strange weapon. It's just that the explosion wasn't too loud before, like a muffled thunder in the distance.
But this one was different, it sounded as if it was in your ears.
Li Heng rushed to the door quickly, thought about it and ran back to the main hall, and went directly upstairs to the main building of the diligent government affairs.
Looking towards the west where the sound came, I saw a huge mushroom-shaped cloud, just in the west of Chang'an City, connecting heaven and earth, like a miracle!
In recent years, the air in Chang'an City has not been very good because of the burning of charcoal, but today Li Heng clearly saw this mushroom cloud that was faintly still showing fire.
"That'...... Is it Ye Chang's house? Li Heng discerned the direction and vaguely guessed: "Apart from him, who else can make such a ...... Situation? β
Suddenly uneasy in his heart, Li Heng suddenly remembered that An Lushan seemed to have gone to Yefu.
He succeeded this time, An Lushan made great contributions, and if he wanted to put this emperor in prison, he must rely on An Lushan.
If Li Jingzhong was still there, he wouldn't be so worried, but Li Jingzhong had been stabbed to death by Shou'an, and he was missing an important person to give advice. Now if An Lushan has another problem, how else can he deal with Li Longji's counterattack?
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, Li Heng was at the top of the building, holding on to the railing and shouting down: "Come on, come on!" β
Cheng Yuanzhen immediately appeared in his sight: "Sage, what are your orders?" β
"What kind of hall is over there, hurry up and send someone to inquire and ask how the situation of Yan Guogong is!" Lee Hyung-do.
It didn't take long for the news to come back, there was a violent explosion in Ye Chang's house, An Lushan was guarded by a soldier, and after being swept to the wall by the air wave, he narrowly escaped a life, but the sergeant staff who were killed and injured on the spot were dozens of people, including Gao Shang, one of the most important strategists in An Lushan!
It is said that after the explosion, the stele miraculously did not have powdered ore, but was broken into several pieces and turned out, and there were actually only four words on it: fireworks are strictly prohibited.
An Lushan was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, but even if he didn't vomit blood, he was not happy, although he was not fatally injured, but the debris from the explosion hit him in the face, and he was now lying on the door panel waiting for the imperial doctor to bandage him, just like his son An Qingzong.
"Unexpectedly...... Become like this? β
When Li Heng heard the news, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.
"Ye Chang is cunning, it's like this!" As cold as him, there are also the ministers who have taken refuge in him. I thought I could get the credit for supporting it, but now it seems that things may not go well.
"Who went to visit Yan Guogong for me...... No, I'm going to visit ...... myself Where is Yan Guogong now? β
After staying for a while, Cheng Yuanzhen kept giving Li Heng a look, and Li Heng came back to his senses and asked loudly.
"I'm home......"
When Li Heng heard the news, his heart moved, it seems that An Lushan was not lightly injured!
He used An Lushan, and the intermediary was Li Jingzhong, Li Jingzhong transferred to Jiwen and then to An Lushan, and now that Li Jingzhong, a crucial figure, is dead, he wants to think about it himself.
He was originally a mean and unkind character, where would he allow another minister of power, and now An Lushan is seriously injured and can't be a director, it is a good opportunity to relieve him of military power!
But after thinking about it, Li Longji and Ye Chang are still there, the birds are not finished, and the bow is hidden first, which is not the case after all. Thinking of this, he said: "Cheng Yuanzhen, swing and go to Anfu, lonely ...... I want to personally condolence Ahn Sang-kook! β
He hadn't gone out yet, but in front of Xingqing Palace, he saw a person dressed in plain clothes and bowed down, and his heart moved: "It turned out to be Mr. Li, Mr. came just in time, I am going to Dabao, and I need to borrow Mr. Wisdom!" β
The one who came was Li Mi.
In this coup, Li Mi was actually concealed, before he was ordered to marry Ye Chang, and the two discussed Taoism, at that time he hinted to Ye Chang that he should support the authentic inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Li Heng, and Ye Chang also seemed to support it.
But this coup d'Γ©tat is no less than a slap in the face: his so-called Taoist orthodoxy has to rely on the general to launch a palace coup to seize his father's throne.
Li Mi is not stupid, it can even be said that he is one of the most intelligent people in this era, and at this time he already understands that he was used by Li Heng at the beginning. As a courtier, he didn't dare to complain about this, but that didn't mean that he didn't have resentment in his heart.
"The minister is here to bid farewell to His Highness." Li Mi did not address Li Heng as "Your Majesty", obviously he did not approve of Li Heng's imperial power: "A person who is idle and indifferent by nature is unworthy of His Highness's use." β
Li Heng was taken aback: "I still have to rely on Mr., if Mr. abandons me, I and my son...... When is it good? β
Li Mi's expression was calm: "Your Highness has his own capable people around him, and the ministers think they are inferior." β
"Sir, let's just say it, how can I stay and help me?" Li Heng said again.
Li Mi looked left and right, Li Heng understood, and retreated left and right, Li Mi replied solemnly: "Zhu'an Lushan and other traitors, welcome back the Son of Heaven, how can the relationship between father and son be complete, and the friendship between the monarch and the minister ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Heng sneered three times: "Heh! Scold! Scold! β
As soon as the sneer came out, there was no way for Li Mi to say anything more. The two glanced at each other, Li Heng didn't say anything more, and went directly to his shoulder, and then said: "Since Mr. Li is aiming to be between Lin Quan, I won't persuade him, come and give Mr. Li ten horses of silk silk, ten horses of cotton cloth, and then give thousands of dollars to replenish the road funds." β
Governor Li Miqing couldn't do anything, and he no longer persuaded him, and retreated silently.
Looking at Li Heng's drive to the west, Li Yu sighed, and at this moment, he heard someone behind him: "Why doesn't Mr. persuade him?" β
When he looked back, it was Wang Wei and Wang Jin.
Wang Wei looked very panicked, he lived and lay down in Chang'an City, the main help was the eldest princess Yuzhen, now the eldest princess Yuzhen had escaped from Chang'an with Li Longji, but he didn't have time to escape, and he was completely at a loss for his future. He was summoned to the palace today to hold this big court meeting, and he was not willing at all, but because he spared his life, he had to come.
Although they didn't hear the conversation between Li Mi and Li Heng clearly, they could guess from the look that Li Mi was definitely admonishing Li Heng.
"Your Highness has been riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down." Li Mi sighed and said: "The traitor teaches the sobbing, the ministers are divided, and even here, it is uncontrollable......"
Wang Wei was silent, and then asked, "Is Mr. Li really living in seclusion in Quanlin?" β
"That's the only way to ...... at this time"
"Then I would like to follow Mr. Li."
"Your Highness will let me go, but he may not let you go." Li Yu looked at Wang Wei and shook his head.
He has a very close relationship with Li Heng, many years of friendship, and he has never held any important official positions, if he does, he is only a subordinate official of the East Palace. Wang Wei is different, Master Hanlin is a noble official, even if Li Heng does not reuse him, it is impossible to let him go to Li Longji.
Wang Wei himself understood this, his face was like dirt, and he sighed. Seeing that he couldn't find a way in front of the palace, he could only go back to his house before getting into the carriage, and found that Wang Jin did not get into his own car, but squeezed into the same car with him.
Wang Jin has something to say.
"What can I do?" Wang Wei knew that his brother had always been a little tricky, so he asked.
"Ye Chang, we have always underestimated him, we knew that today, we should have done our best to get married, and we shouldn't offend him!" Wang Jin sighed and said.
"You mean...... Ye Chang will inevitably fight back? β
"That's nature, how can An Lushan compare with Ye Chang? Just now, I quietly found an An's subordinate general and inquired, and it cost me a thousand dollars to know the exact news of the night! Wang Jin lowered his voice: "Last night, the saint was originally trapped in the Calyx Xianghui Building, but Ye Chang was prepared, arranged Princess Shou'an and An Yuanguang, and punished Li Jingzhong, who gave advice to the prince, and rescued the saint and a family member. Then, in his own house, Ye Chang broke the siege of 3,000 people with a few hundred people, and severely damaged An Qingzong, the son of An Rebellion......"
Wang Jin's eyebrows fluttered as if he was there last night. Wang Wei never thought that he had inquired about so much news, the more he listened, the more his eyes widened, and when he heard that An Lushan was blown up by a room of flour, he opened his mouth even more, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Ye Chang is a person, there is really an unpredictable opportunity, and flour can even hurt the enemy...... It's a pity that An Lushan was not killed on the spot, if he was killed on the spot, these rebels would inevitably disperse! Therefore, don't look at the person who now claims that he has obtained the edict of the saint to ascend the throne, and wants to call on the military town of the world to fight a decisive battle with Ye Chang, who has held the Son of Heaven hostage, in fact, he can't jump for a few days! We can't just sit here, we have to think of a way, even if we can't make meritorious service, we can't wait for the Son of Heaven to be punished as a thief after he is reinstated! β
"What do you mean?"
"I want to set things right, welcome back to the saint, and make meritorious deeds!" Wang Jin said this, his eyes flashed with the light of power desire: "After this time, in the court, it is inevitable to sweep it, and there will be a lot of vacant positions, my brother and I, the qualifications are enough, but we can't be the prime minister, looking for a good position in the six departments and nine qing, such as exploring the bag and taking things, no matter how bad it is, you can also be poor for Gyeonggi and Dugi, and then run for a while, and you can even be a prime minister!" β
What he said in his mouth was our brother, but he felt in his heart that his brother was cowardly, and he was by no means the prime minister's talent, and it was his limit to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and he was a little reluctant to be a scholar, but he was shrewd and capable, and the position of prime minister was not impossible.
"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to ......"
"It's not easy to do, and if we don't do anything, we can only sit and wait. Ye Chang will fight back sooner or later, with our festival with him, it will fall into his hands at that time, although we want to die, we can't! Wang Jin thought about it and thought: "Now is a good time, An Lushan is seriously injured and can't be a director, take this opportunity, we can think of making friends with the generals under An Lushan, don't reveal the true meaning first, just make friends, figure out their temperament, and see if there are still loyal people among them!" I'll do it, and in addition, the ministers of the court and the central government who are trapped in Chang'an, my brother can walk around with them more, write some poems that miss His Majesty, and see how many weeping guests in the new pavilion are! β
The two brothers were plotting in the car, and Li Heng had already arrived at An Lushan's mansion, and he was about to enter the door, but was stopped by the sergeant: "An Gong's mansion, don't trespass!" β
Cheng Yuanzhen next to him was furious, and shouted loudly: "The Son of Heaven is here, dare to stop it!" β
"It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way." Li Heng was kind and pleasant, and waved his hand: "I came here to visit An Xianggong, and I am tired of showing me the way." β
He wrote it down in his heart, but his face was like a spring breeze. The sergeant guarding the door rolled his eyes, glanced at Cheng Yuanzhen, and replied proudly: "There are only military orders in the army, and I have never heard of a son of heaven." β
Even if Li Heng had the experience of forbearance for many years, he couldn't help but change his color at this time, and after a while, he forced a smile and said: "There was a fine willow camp in the first Han Dynasty, and I see its situation again today...... That being the case, you will convey your greetings to Ahn Sang-kook on my behalf. I brought a few of the best imperial doctors in the palace, and I stayed here, and if An Xiangguo thought it would be useful, he could just summon them. β
After saying that, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, turned around and went straight to his shoulder. He came and went back with a bang, and along the way, he was sullen.
Cheng Yuanzhen next to him saw his thoughts, but he didn't dare to say anything, you must know that now Chang'an City is in chaos, and the forbidden army that acts as Li Heng's guard of honor is bought by Li Jingzhong and Cheng Yuanzhen, but a considerable part of them are sent by An Lushan. If he said anything bad about An Lushan, after it reached his ears, he was afraid that the end would be miserable.
But if An Lushan is really seriously injured, he can't take care of things......
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhen had a thought in his heart that was spinning around, and he couldn't contain it anymore.
Li Jingzhong wants to be as powerful as Colliers, doesn't he Cheng Yuanzhen want to? At this time, there is a great lack of trustworthy people around Li Heng, and Li Jingzhong, a semi-competitor, lost his life again, which is a good opportunity for him to show himself!
However, Cheng Yuanzhen was a little hesitant, if that was the case...... If Ye Chang calls back, who will deal with it?
