Chapter 544: Jingshi Fengyunlu (3)
"Weichen Donggong left the head of the guard general Gao Heng to see Your Majesty." As soon as Gao Heng walked into the hall, he immediately found that there were only Li Shimin, Fang and the eldest grandson in the hall, and he was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he rushed forward and respectfully saluted Li Shimin, but his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Excuse me, is that Gao Heng? I know. Gao Heng knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, never daring to raise his head, after waiting for a while, he finally waited for Li Shimin's golden mouth to open, but this first sentence made Gao Heng's heart flutter when he heard it - Gao Heng, as a general, has not been less in the court, but Gao Heng has shallow qualifications, and every time he goes to the court, he is always at the back of the military attache queue, very far away from the holy car, and it is difficult to intervene in the court discussions. Gao Heng had never spoken to Li Shimin at all, let alone the current pattern of playing in private, this coldly listening to Li Shimin's words was "knowing" rather than "having heard", which really made Gao Heng's heartbeat suddenly speed up, excited and frightened, and he really didn't know how to play it right for a while, and after being stunned for a while, he stood up, bowed and said: "Weichen respectfully listens to the hadith." ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin, who was half-lying and half-leaning on the Hu bed, seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Heng's courtesy, nodded, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Er'er had studied under Zhen'er, but is there anything wrong?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has indeed studied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for several years." It is not a secret that Gao Heng worships under Li Zhen's door, and there are many people in Chang'an who know about it, and at this time, he coldly listened to the old man mention this matter, which really made Gao Heng at a loss, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only tell the truth respectfully.
"Oh, what have you learned?" Li Shimin nodded noncommittally, and then asked again.
As soon as Li Shimin asked this, Gao Heng was even more confused, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Shimin's gourd, so he obviously hesitated for a moment, and then bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen follows His Royal Highness's habits as a military strategy, guns and horses." ”
"Military strategy is a big article, are you out of the division?" Li Shimin's face showed a hint of an intriguing smile, and he asked again unhurriedly.
Seeing that Li Shimin's question was getting more and more strange, Gao Heng was completely dizzy, he didn't believe that Li Shimin was so eager to call him to come, just to ask about such a small thing with salt and no vinegar, but since Li Shimin asked, Gao Heng didn't dare not answer, so he muttered slightly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has learned as much as the sea, and what Weichen has gained is only a drop in the ocean, so it is impossible to talk about being a teacher." ”
"A drop in the ocean? Interesting, interesting, even so, I have a question, as far as I know, the first way of military strategy is in the battle formation, you are learning, and now Zhen'er is out on the expedition, why stay in Beijing, huh? Li Shimin said it interestingly, but not only did he not have a smile on his face, but his face sank and asked gloomily.
As soon as this question came out, Gao Heng's head buzzed, and cold sweat couldn't help but drip down, this time Gao Heng really didn't know how to answer-did he say that it was to guard against the kings? But now that the rebellion of the kings has not yet been revealed, it is said that they will go out, and there is no real evidence, so it is a great crime of rebellion to sit back, saying that they are not in good health and it is difficult to fight on the battlefield? Obviously, he couldn't deceive Li Shimin's eyes, saying that he stayed in Beijing for the sake of the prince's family? It's not right, this kind of easy work, obviously doesn't need Gao Heng to squat in such a strong future, if there is no reason, it is enough to deceive others, if you want to take it out to coax Li Shimin, it is obviously impossible, and since Li Shimin asked so, I am afraid that I have already seen through the root cause, lying and bullying the king is a big crime of killing the head, and when I hesitated, I suddenly remembered the strange words that Na Long said before I came, and my eyes lit up, and I already had an idea in my heart.
"Back to Your Majesty, the last general is only in Beijing for one thing, and that is to prevent traitors from taking advantage of the situation to make trouble." Gao Heng turned his heart across and said loudly.
"Oh, traitor? What is a traitor? Li Shimin showed a playful smile on his face, and asked endlessly without relaxation.
If Gao Heng was just a gamble before, and he was not sure in his heart, as soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Gao Heng's heart immediately settled down, knowing that he was pressing on the right side, so he replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that those who dare to take risks must be traitors!" ”
"Oh? Hahaha......" When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, he looked Gao Heng up and down with great interest, and said neatly: "In this way, Gao Aiqing has his own determination to eradicate the traitor and eliminate the demons, I am very curious, what does Aiqing plan to do?" ”
"Everything is at the command of His Majesty." As soon as Gao Heng's heart stabilized, his words spoke much more smoothly, and this statement really had the taste of a general.
"Okay, very good, I remember what Aiqing said." When Li Shimin said this, he stopped, glanced at Gao Heng with appreciation, and then applauded his palms, but when he heard a sound in the apse, he saw Wu Sheng, the deputy commander of the palace guards, leading a group of extremely capable young eunuchs to carry a large sand table from the apse, and put the sand table on the edge of Li Shimin's couch, and then, except for Wu Sheng who was left alone, the rest of the people all hid in the apse.
"Let's get started." Facing Wu Sheng's bowing and asking for instructions, Li Shimin raised his hand and said.
"Yes, slave and maid." Wu Sheng bowed down and received the order, turned to one side, turned to the sand table, and pointed: "According to the report, people from Junzhou gathered in Xiaolizhuang, Wangzhuang, and Liucun, each of which is more than two miles apart, and it has become a full trend......"
Wu Sheng gushed endlessly, and reported all kinds of information one by one, which was extremely detailed, but Gao Heng did not listen very carefully, the reason is very simple, the information that Gao Heng learned from the "Rising Sun" was much more detailed and comprehensive than what Wu Sheng had mastered, but listening to it, Gao Heng heard the flavor - Wu Sheng's intelligence involved the forces of the kings of Wu, Wei, and Shu, but they were all peripheral forces, but they did not mention the troop allocation of the various palaces, and they didn't even mention it. If it is said that a person like Wu Sheng, who specializes in intelligence, would make such a low-level mistake, Gao Heng would not believe it, there must be an article here!
Gao Heng can be accepted by Li Zhen as the only disciple, there is no doubt about the high talent, over the years he has followed Li Zhen's side, has already seen countless conspiracies and plots, at this time just a little thought, he has already guessed the intention behind Wu Sheng's move - the reason why Wu Sheng did not mention the princes' mansions is not that he does not know the reality of the princes' mansions, but deliberately did not mention it at the behest of Li Shimin, and his intention is to convey a hint, that is, the power of the kings can be swept away, but the kings can't move, it is nothing more than Li Shimin's calf, The reluctant son has more deaths and injuries, this is to inform the East Palace that the family is forgiving and forgiving, and they should not be killed.
"Gao Aiqing, do you understand?" Just when Gao Heng was stunned, Wu Sheng didn't know when he had finished introducing the situation, Li Shimin waved his hand to signal Wu Sheng to retreat, and then looked at Gao Heng with a smile and asked.
"Your Majesty, Weichen understands." Gao Heng couldn't think nonsense, and hurriedly bowed down and replied.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Oh? yes, let's talk about it. ”
"Yes, Weichen thinks that many giants are running around Beijing, and they are afraid that there will be wrongdoings, so they should be eliminated." Gao Heng replied solemnly.
Li Shimin is the holy lord of a generation, and his mind is very comparable, as soon as he heard Gao Heng's words of secretly changing concepts, he immediately knew that Gao Heng had understood the true meaning he wanted to convey through Wu Sheng, so he laughed and said: "Well, Gao Aiqing is very kind and very comforted, so can Qing dare to be peaceful?" ”
Gao Heng nodded to the ground on one knee and replied loudly: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty as a dog and horse!" ”
"Good! Qing Zhi's loyalty, I remember, I gave you the right to fight, the soldiers of each battalion of the Beijing division are selected and transferred by Qing, you must not get away with one person, but you must not disturb the people too much, how to plan, Qing can decide on his own, I don't ask, I will give you a secret decree when I go back, and you will retire first. Li Shimin sat up straight, waved his hand, and made a conclusion very neatly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen retires." Since Li Shimin had already issued an order to expel the guests, Gao Heng didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly saluted, bowed and withdrew from the main hall, and turned back to the East Palace without mentioning it.
"Your Majesty, the right to be a dictatorship ......" After Gao Heng retreated, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been silent, couldn't help but stand up and tried to persuade Li Shimin to act cautiously - when the previous deliberations were held, the eldest grandson Wuji reluctantly agreed that this rebellion would be handed over to the East Palace, and he was even more worried about the right to suppress the autocracy, how could Li Shimin's intention be very strong, and Fang Xuanling strongly agreed, so he had to acquiesce in this matter, but the more he thought about it after that, the more afraid he became, worried that once the situation was out of control, not only the kings would be unlucky, Even his eldest grandson family may also be affected, after all, there is an old grudge between the eldest grandson family and Li Zhen, although it has been diluted a lot now, it is difficult to guarantee that the gang in the East Palace will not take advantage of this time to calm the chaos to harm the pond fish, in view of this, the eldest grandson Wuji can only force himself to come out and try to make one last effort, but unfortunately this scheming is still in vain - before he finished speaking, Li Shimin shook his head lightly and interrupted the words of the eldest grandson Wuji. had no choice but to silently retreat to the side, secretly thinking about the situation of self-preservation......
In the study of the East Palace, Na Long, who was dressed in green clothes, sat behind the copy, frowned slightly and looked at a fold in his hand, looking like he was fully committed to it, however, if you pay close attention, you can find that Na Long's mind is actually not on that fold at all - since Na Long sat down to look at the fold, more than an hour and a half has passed, and I haven't seen him turn the page, holding this fold, not so much looking at it, but putting on a calm look, but, this is not surprising, Li Zhen and Mo Li are not there, Na Long is the backbone of this East Palace, and there must not be the slightest misdemeanor, especially at such a delicate time.
"Mr. Na, so-and-so is back." Just when Na Long was in a trance, Gao Heng strode in from outside the study and shouted excitedly.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, come, sit, sit, take a breath." Rao is Nalong is calm and calm, and when he saw that Gao Heng finally came back, he couldn't help but lose his temper and give up his seat to Gao Heng one after another, which made Gao Heng feel a little at a loss.
"Sir, I'm not tired, I'm really fine." Gao Hengqian gave in for a while, but he still couldn't meet Nalong's enthusiasm, so he had to sit down honestly.
"Xiao Heng, how is the situation? What is Your Majesty's will? After Gao Heng sat down, Na Long couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked.
"Sir, Your Majesty ......" Gao Heng babbled and recounted the situation of the audience in detail, and the ups and downs made Nalong's face change several times one after another.
"Hmm." After listening to Gao Heng's narration, Na Long did not express his position easily, but paced back and forth in the study, and after a long time, he walked to the window, sighed, and stood silently......
Two flowers bloomed, one branch each, not to mention that the East Palace was busy planning, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, was also not idle - a meeting in front of the palace today, although through the mouth of the King of Shu, it was considered to have successfully instigated the old man to give a banquet to Chengtianmen, but when the dynasty was dispersed, the old man put down a rather strange sentence, but Li Tai's mind became unstable, and as soon as he returned to his palace, he hurriedly gathered a group of henchmen to discuss.
"Uncle, what does my father mean by that? Could it be that ......" just walked into the study, and before he sat down, Li Tai looked at Su Miao, who was a little anxious, and asked with a roar.
Su Miao didn't pay attention to Li Tai's monkey urgency, sat down steadily, and glanced at Li Tai with complicated eyes - as a household servant, Su Miao was also in the main hall today, how could he not hear Li Shimin's last words with obvious warnings, with Su Miao's political wisdom, how could he not know the meaning, but in Su Miao's opinion, now that things have reached the point where the arrow is ready to be sent and has to be sent, at this moment, instead of worrying about what Li Shimin will think, it is better to hurry up and improve the plan, Besides, this kind of usurpation, without a ruthless heart, how can it succeed, just Li Tai's unbearable appearance, it really doesn't look like a material for doing big things, and Su Miao sees it in his eyes and is angry in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the two are already inseparable, Su Miao is afraid that he would have gone long ago.
"Uncle, what do you say, how can this matter be good?" Seeing that Su Miao hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Tai couldn't hold his breath even more, stood up, and shouted anxiously.
"What, are you scared?"
"I ......" Li Tai wanted to say that he was not afraid, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, after all, under the old man's many years of accumulation, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid, this will come out, even he doesn't believe in himself, how can he win the trust of others, and then look at the unkind look on Su Miao's face, his heart immediately softened, and he muttered in a low voice: "What is the use of being afraid?" ”
"If that's the case, then why bother what others say, it's important to do the things in front of you!" Although Su Miao was angry with Li Tai's unbearable performance, for the sake of big things, he still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and pointed out.
"Uncle has taught me a lesson, but, ah, it's just that my father ...... him" Li Tai has always respected Su Miao, and when he saw that he finally opened his mouth, he had some confidence, but his fear of his old man in his heart was not much reduced because of this, and he said it a little bit.
Seeing that the matter was imminent, but Li Tai didn't think about the matter, and was still wandering there, Su Miao couldn't cry or laugh, and shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness, do you remember the Xuanwu Gate back then?" ”
"Xuanwu Gate? What does my uncle mean......" Li Tai couldn't turn around for a while, and looked at Su Miao suspiciously.
"But in everything, there is no impermeable reason, the emperor may not have a premonition in the past, but as long as he dares to do it, the opportunity is in front of him, otherwise, His Royal Highness will consider the consequences himself." Su Miao's face sank, and he almost gritted his teeth to make his words clear.
"Ah......" Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Su Miao meant - now that the soldiers and horses have been transferred to the Beijing Division, if they don't reverse, they are already reverse, even if they quietly die down at this time, they can't hide from the people of the East Palace, even if the old man can ignore it, but once Li Zhen's army returns to the court, Li Zhen's temperament, there is no possibility of letting himself go, at this time, in addition to being ruthless, a road to the black, there is no side road to go, fight once, maybe the light is in front of you, if you don't fight, you will die!
Li Tai's face changed for a long time, and finally stabilized, arched his hand at Su Miao, gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Wang understands, uncle rest assured, Xiao Wang knows what to do." ”
"Hmm." Su Miao saw that Li Tai's piece of mud had finally been pasted on the wall, so he breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, nodded, and replied.
Li Tai looked at Su Miao, who had closed his eyes, stunned, and then turned around suddenly, strode to the outer room of the study, raised his voice and shouted: "Come on, go and call Fu Kui to see you!" ”
As soon as Li Tai said this, he had a person waiting at the door to summon Fu Kui, and after a while, but when he heard a heavy footsteps, Fu Kui, who was dressed in bright light armor, had strode into the study, and when he saw Li Tai standing in front of the door of the inner room, he hurriedly rushed forward, bowed respectfully and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness!" ”
"Excuse me, just talk with Lone." Li Taixu raised his hand, signaled Fu Kui to excuse himself, and then turned around and walked into the inner room of the study by himself.
"General Fu, how is the matter of Lonely Confession going?" Li Taiyi walked into the inner room, sat down by himself, shook his wide sleeves, and asked with a casual look.
"If you go back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged, and there is a detailed plan here at the end, please take a look at Your Highness." Fu Kui naturally knew what Li Tai was asking, and hurriedly took out a fold book from the sleeve of his battle robe, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Tai.
"Oh?" Li Tai took the excerpt, but he didn't look at it, but then asked, "I just want to know what chance of winning?" ”
"Forty percent." Fu Kui didn't hide it and replied bluntly.
"Forty percent?" When Li Tai heard this, his brows furrowed, repeated, and looked at Fu Kui with a little dissatisfaction - in the past few years, Fu Kui's military strategy has been appreciated by Li Tai, and the thing that Li Tai arranged for him to do was to formulate a battle plan to capture Daming Palace according to the existing forces, I thought that with many favorable conditions, although the possibility of success did not dare to say that it was ten, but in Li Tai's opinion, more than seventy percent should be there, and at this time I heard Fu Kui say that there was only forty percent certainty, and it was inevitable that some people were disappointed, Looking at Fu Kui's eyes, there was a faint meaning of forcing Fu Kui to change his words, but Fu Kui did not give in, although he stood respectfully, but his words never changed.
"Forty percent? Not a lot. Just when the two guests of honor were deadlocked and didn't speak, Su Miao, who had his eyes closed, interjected.
"Uncle, this ......" Li Tai looked at Su Miao, and after seeing that he had finished speaking, he stopped talking, his eyes were closed, he hesitated slightly, and paced back and forth in the study with the folded book, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, four achievements and four percent, a lonely gamble!" Tell the order to go down, and that's it. ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Seeing that Li Tai had finally made up his mind, Fu Kui couldn't help but lift his spirits, answered the promise loudly, turned around, and walked out of the study......
