Chapter 583: When the Conspiracy is in Progress
"Prince, if we can, let's leave Chang'an as soon as possible!" In the Webster Mansion, Wei Nizi recalled the familiar figure in his mind, and looked at the man in white on the bed with some concern and said.
"Leaving Chang'an? Nizi, don't be delusional, can we leave Chang'an now? If we leave on the front foot, the prime minister's army will probably immediately march out of Chang'an and attack Luoyang. "Wang Xuanying's face is pale, he is no longer as arrogant as in the past, he is not a fool, this is Chang'an, not Luoyang, arrogant here, and the final result can only be killed by Li Xin. But if he leaves Chang'an now, even if he can return to Luoyang safely, what awaits him is Wang Shichong's anger and Wang Xuanshu's ridicule. It's better to stay in Chang'an and wait for the opportunity.
"Then can we stay in the Wei family like this?" Venizi said with some panic.
"If you want to leave, you have to wait until the prime minister and Da Zhao use force, that time is the best time for us to leave, the prime minister is preoccupied with the Li Zhao war, and he has no time to take care of us." Wang Xuanying looked at Wei Nizi in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but step forward to hug Wei Nizi, but was pushed away by Wei Nizi.
"Prince, you and I are in the cage, are you still in the mood to have fun?" With tears in her eyes, Venizi said: "Today I went to the Temple of the Manifestation on the order of the patriarch, I thought I was playing with a few sisters to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't expect that there would be many students gathering, either for poetry or painting. What's more, I also met a person in that place. ”
"Who?" Wang Xuanying's face suddenly changed.
"Prime Minister. can let the uncle's father accompany him, and the only one who is inferior is the prime minister. Wei Nizi shook his head and said, "Why did the prime minister appear in the Temple of the Manifestations, is it to see those scholars?" Prince, let's leave Chang'an as soon as possible! ”
Wang Xuanying's face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he knew Li Xin's hobbies. It's just that he also believes that Li Xin's courage is not so big, but he is also Wang Shichong's son, and he is also a powerful strength, although Li Xin has wolf ambitions, at least he has to take care of himself in face! He was relieved at the moment: "Although Li Xin is hateful, it has not yet reached that level. You can rest assured. He is rich in the world, what kind of things can't he get? This time, we came on the orders of my father, so that Li Xin's eyes would not pay attention to us for the time being. Rest assured! Wang Xuanying hugged Wei Nizi, but he was full of emotion in his heart, in the face of this situation, even if it was himself, there was nothing he could do to change it.
Li Xin, who returned to the palace, carefully thought about the power in his hands, today is the tenth day of the first month. Li Xin didn't want to wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, he was afraid that if he didn't do it, Li Shimin would have to do it.
"Go, invite a few scholars and generals to come." Li Xin thought for a while and said to Duan Qi beside him. He had already decided to do something to Wang Shichong, but before that, he needed an excuse.
"My subordinates meet the prime minister."
As soon as everyone entered the Wude Palace, they heard the door behind them slam shut. Butter candles were lit in the main hall, and the fire shone brightly. Greeted by a huge map, which marked the geographical situation of Henan's mountains and rivers, everyone was shocked in their hearts, Li Xin was ready to start.
"It is better to do it to Wang Shichong sooner rather than later." Li Xinhu swept over everyone and said, "Now part of Wang Shichong's troops are gathered in Ye County. There were about 50,000 people, and the rest of the troops were either gathered in Mengjin, and some were in Dongjun and Chenliu, on the contrary, there were not many troops in Luoyang. Is the grain and grass ready? What is the morale of the officers and men in the army? Li Xin looked at Pei Shiju and Li Jing and said.
"Last year, Guanzhong was ripe. Bashu's grain has also been transported to Chang'an, which is enough to support the operation of the army. Pei Shiju stood up and said.
"A month's rest is enough to get the soldiers back on the field." Li Jing said loudly.
"So very good, this time I sent troops to Henan to attack Wang Shichong, and I am ready to dispatch 130,000 troops." Li Xin pointed to the map and said: "100,000 troops to attack Luoyang, there are 30,000 troops plus 20,000 troops in Hedong, defend Hedong, we attack Wang Shichong, Li Yuan must be stopped, attacking Hedong is probably a certain thing, 50,000 troops are enough to ensure that Hedong is safe." The general led 60,000 troops from Hongnong to attack Luoyang, Lone personally led 40,000 troops, and Guo Xiaoke, led 60,000 troops, attacked Ye County, and then ordered Guo Xiaoke to defend Ye County, Lone led the army to bypass Xuanyuan Pass, attack Xiangcheng County, and then cross Songshan, attack Xingyang and Dongjun, directly insert the Yellow River, confront Li Shimin, and cut off Wang Shichong's eastern reinforcements. What else can you add? Li Xin looked at everyone and said, he just said a rough idea, the strategy of the march, but how to fight, how to fight, is the matter of the marching general.
"Fighting a war is a matter for the generals, and preparing grain and grass is a matter for the ministers, but the prime minister rashly attacked Wang Shichong, what excuse did he find?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but speak.
"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?" Li Xin didn't want to say.
Pei Shiju and the others frowned, this sentence is full of domineering, but again, this is not a convincing reason, Li Xin's kind of person who can abandon his promise anytime and anywhere, in the eyes of others, is definitely not what a master should do. Even if this attitude is only aimed at the enemy, it will still affect Li Xin's prestige, which is a bad thing for a person who is about to ascend the throne and become emperor.
"Prime Minister, my subordinates recently got a treasure, which is rumored to be Yongding back then, but I don't know if it's true, I want to invite the Prime Minister and your colleagues to go to your home to watch." Wei Yuancheng said suddenly.
"There is such a thing, Prime Minister, my subordinates think it's okay." Pei Shiju's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister, although Lord Wei is full of poetry and books, his appreciation of antiquities is much worse, and his subordinates think that it is better to go and see it together, if he is wrong, his subordinates think that Lord Wei should be punished." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Li Xin looked at Pei Shiju and Wei Yuancheng with some suspicion, these two guys must be doing something, he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence.
"Since Master Wei said that there is, then there must be one, and the prime minister doesn't have to worry." Du Ruhui was silent for a while, and then spoke.
"Okay, since everyone said so, I think they are all suspicious of Lord Wei's eyes, okay, then it's decided, when will you go to Lord Wei's house? Lone Ke heard that in this Chang'an City, the largest mansion is the home of Lord Wei in addition to the palace. Lone went this time to see if that was really the case. Li Xin said with a smile.
"The prime minister is wise." Everyone spoke out one after another.
"Or the day after tomorrow?" Wei Yuancheng looked at Li Xin cautiously, he saw a hint of banter in Li Xin's eyes, he was slightly startled, and quickly lowered his head.
"The day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow!" Li Xin nodded and walked away.
"Master Pei, Prime Minister this?" Wei Yuancheng's eyes flickered, and there was some worry in the depths of his eyes, he hadn't felt it before, but today he felt the pressure of facing Li Xin, this may be Tianwei.
"Hmph, you people!" Li Jing shook his head and left.
"What if the prime minister sees it? We are thinking about the prime minister, but we didn't see that the prime minister recently gave Guo Xiaoke a reprimand almost two days ago, and almost demoted him to a soldier. Pei Shiju said indifferently: "What the prime minister needs is the result, and we will give him the result." ”
"Things must be done above board, and there must be no omissions, otherwise Lord Wei will become a sinner for the ages." Du Ruhui's face is not very good-looking.
Pei Shiju and Wei Yuancheng's faces suddenly became not very good-looking, Du Ruhui had already seen it, and Li Xin could also see it if he couldn't do it.
"This Keming!" Pei Shiju shook his head, unlike Pei Shiju who also has to take care of the family, Du Ruhui takes care of the Du family a lot worse, he is just loyal to Li Xin alone, and the other civil and military ministers will not take it to heart, if it is not for the need for an excuse this time, I am afraid that Du Ruhui will not agree.
"Hmph, Master Pei, the prime minister is about to ascend the throne, I don't know which one the boss supports?" Wei Yuancheng suddenly said with a smile.
"Master Wei, isn't it too early to say this? The prime minister is young and strong, who knows if there will be other princes? Pei Shiju said with a slight dissatisfaction, this Wei Yuancheng is really hateful, is it too early to push his grandson to the throne, not only in his eyes, but also in the prime minister's eyes, can the courtiers decide this matter?
"Hehe, it's just a casual remark, but you and I have to join hands at the dinner the day after tomorrow. The Prime Minister must not be allowed to be in any danger. Wei Yuancheng said a little nervously. This is the first time Li Xin has gone to the mansion of the Guanzhong family, which is also an honor, if something goes wrong, Wei Yuancheng is afraid that he will be unlucky.
"Hey, the old man thinks of Li Jing's words now, isn't it just a name? Just kill it. Why bother? Pei Shiju looked at Wei Yuancheng, he faintly suspected that Wei Yuancheng was definitely not behind this matter, but this was the general trend, and Li Xin's reputation must not have any problems at this time, so he agreed to Wei Yuancheng's suggestion.
"Then let Li Jing's army prepare, and attack Luoyang immediately the night after tomorrow." Wei Yuancheng doesn't care about this, as long as Li Xin goes to Wei's house, he doesn't have to worry about everything, he believes that Li Xin will not be dissatisfied with himself in the future, and will even be grateful to himself.
"Okay, everything will come according to what Master Wei said." Pei Shiju sneered in his heart, Wei Yuancheng thought he had a plan, but he didn't look at who he wanted to calculate? Li Xin's character can make you calculate like this, I am afraid that the benefits will not be obtained at that time, but it will also cause Li Xin's disgust. (To be continued......)
