Chapter 134: Each makes its own decision
Troubled times produce heroes, troubled times produce talents, troubled times produce careerists, troubled times produce ......, troubled times come out of everything, just not out of peace, except for people with ulterior motives, no one in the world will like troubled times, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty have just passed a few years, the people of the Tang Dynasty don't want the peace they just looked forward to is so easy to disappear, just this article determines that the rebellion of King Qi must be a failure, this point Li Zhen knows in his heart, in Li Zhen's opinion, the fifth child is just asking for his own death, it is impossible to really succeed at all, No matter how big the momentum is, it is in vain, of course, Li Zhen, who is not unlucky in the fifth year, didn't pay attention to it at all, but well, whether he can get some sweetness from the rebellion of the fifth child is something that Li Zhen is particularly concerned about, without him, who let Li Zhen start late, and now his power in the DPRK and China is almost negligible, if he doesn't take advantage of such a God-given opportunity to fish in troubled waters, then I'm too sorry for myself, isn't it?
Say a thousand, say 10,000, if you want to send it from the matter of the fifth child pulling the flag, then you can't leave it out of the way, after all, the sky will not automatically fall the pie, you have to rely on your own efforts to be so possible, in this way, returning to Beijing has become a difficulty that Li Zhen must face first - when the old man sent Li Zhen to Qizhou, his intention was just to ask Li Zhen to provoke chaos, but there was nothing to say, but the edict that made Li Zhen in charge of the civil affairs of Qizhou was very particular, and his intentions were self-evident, That is to let Li Zhen stay in Qizhou, but there are several deep meanings here: one is to let Li Zhen stay out of the matter, so as not to let him get involved in the troubled waters of the Beijing Division, which certainly has the meaning of protecting Li Zhen, but more of a deep vigilance; Second, although Qizhou is close to Gyeonggi, there must be chaos, but there is no need to send 10,000 army commanders like Xue Wanche to be stationed here, this is not an obvious desire to monitor Li Zhen, a brave general in the army - Xue Wanche was born in Youzhou Luo Yi lineage, and he was the prince Li Jiancheng's people back then, and Li Zhen's two masters were not all the way at all, with him in Qizhou, Li Zhen couldn't make any big noise.
Returning to Beijing is necessary to return, otherwise you will miss this mess, and it will be difficult to develop your own forces, besides, history has been made a little out of shape by Li Zhen, God knows who entered the East Palace after this chaos, in case Li Tai finally wins, if you want to bring him down, it is much more difficult than to bring down Li Chengqian, if you don't go back to participate in the last hand, how can Li Zhen put his mind at ease, say a thousand, ten thousand, this trip to Beijing has to go through it anyway, but the problem is that it is not so easy to go, Even if Li Zhen is anxious at this time, it is impossible to return to Beijing without a holy decree - it is a capital crime to return to Beijing without holy will, even if Li Zhen is under the banner of returning to Beijing to recuperate.
Jingshi is not good to return, but after all, he has to return, or he can't catch up in one step, then he can't catch up step by step, what should I do? Can a living person be suffocated by urine? No, just "drunk" the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors, Li Zhenke, the king of Yue, woke up, of course, it was not all good, it was still soft, weak, according to the words of the imperial doctors, the pulse was unstable, the qi and blood were deficient, and it had to be recuperated for some time to heal. As soon as this news came out, all the forces in Qizhou City immediately flocked to it, and the first to kill was Xue Wanche, who was tired by Wen Mu, but it was a pity that Comrade Xue came with hope, but he had to go away in defeat, without him, Li Zhen was very weak at this time, not to mention dealing with government affairs, it was difficult to walk, helpless, Comrade Xue had to say a few words of greeting, and went back to take care of official business without mentioning it, and the rest of the visitors saw that Li Zhen was not in good health, and they did not stay long, and they dispersed, but the official road leading to Beijing in Qizhou became lively, The messengers who rushed to deliver the news to Beijing were simply more old and young than the vendors on the road.
In the Wei Palace, there were only two people sitting in the large study, one was Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the other was Sima Su Miao, who did not even have a scholar who accompanied him, and the two sat opposite each other with a calm face, each looking at the news in his hand, but he did not say a word for a long time, so there was a strange silence.
"Uncle, Xiao Hachishang asked to go back to Beijing to recuperate, and he also asked the king to help him speak, shouldn't there be anything strange here?" After being silent for a long time, Li Tai couldn't hold his breath a little and asked with a frown.
"Well, there's something wrong." Su Miao nodded calmly and said, "If the expectation is not bad, His Royal Highness King Yue does not plan to stay out of the matter this time, thinking about going back to Beijing to stir up trouble." ”
"Yes, this king sees it the same way, hey, this little Bachi is not an Ansheng at first glance, and he doesn't want to think about his identity, he runs to the Beijing division to stir up, and he can get a very good end, but this son is too strong, and he is rich enough to rival the country, and when he comes back, it is impossible to make a difference, but it may spoil the king's big things, according to this king, it is better to let him stay in Qizhou." Although Li Tai belittled Li Zhen in his mouth, there was a strong sense of jealousy and a strong heart to visit.
Su Miao smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "It's good that Your Highness understands this, but it's time for King Yue to come back." ”
"Huh? Why did my uncle say that? Li Tai frowned and hurriedly asked.
Su Miao looked at Li Tai with some dissatisfaction for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, don't forget that His Royal Highness King Yue has a few good cards in his hand, if His Royal Highness wants to bring down the prince, he has to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Yue. ”
"Deal?" Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up and said, "In this way, Xiaoba is waiting for this king's bid?" ”
"Not bad!" Su Miao nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Yue is also a caring person, although he never said it, but he is afraid that he has a lot of heart to enter the East Palace, and he is consistent with His Royal Highness in the matter of overthrowing the prince, but unfortunately because of his identity as a concubine, even if His Royal Highness King Yue can toss again, it is in vain, as long as His Royal Highness does not make mistakes, the position of the East Palace must be his Highness's deserved, so let His Royal Highness King Yue stir it up, and he can't make a big move!" ”
Li Tai thought for a while, suddenly patted his thigh and said: "Ah, this king understands, my uncle means to let Xiaoba come back, and let him make trouble, but this king doesn't participate, just sit and wait, but the boss is beaten down, and this king will come forward to take over, but so?" ”
Such a simple truth, Li Tai still has to think about being old for a long time, which really gives Su Miao a headache, but it is not easy to say anything about Li Tai, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "That's right, I think that since His Royal Highness King Yue is in a hurry to return to Beijing, he is naturally going to the position of the East Palace, and let him toss with the prince, the prince only needs to beat the side drum, and everything will naturally be seen after the dust settles!" ”
"Okay, that's the case, this king will ask his father to allow Xiaoba to return to Beijing to recuperate, well, as for Xiaoba, he also asked his uncle to send him a message, just say that this is a favor This king helped, let him see that it is done." Li Tai's eyebrows fluttered, laughed and got up, went straight out of the study, and turned back to the inner courtyard.
At the same time that Li Tai, the king of Wei, was discussing Li Zhen's return to Beijing, Li Ke, the king of Wu, was also discussing things in the secret room of his palace, and there were only two participants, in addition to Li Ke himself, there was also one person who was the strategist Ye Ling.
These days, there have been a lot of bad news, first Qizhou assassination missed, and then Qizhou Lao Wu rashly got into trouble, a series of bad news made the originally personable Wu King Li Ke haggard a lot, although he was well-dressed at this time, but a pair of bloodshot eyes revealed Li Ke's restless heart, after listening to the report of the Qizhou envoy on some of Li Zhen's behavior after waking up, he waved the messenger back, and looked at Ye Ling, who was sitting on the chair with a bitter face, meticulous and said: "Songcheng, Xiaoba's head looks unbearable, alas, At this moment, the king's heart is in turmoil, how to deal with the current situation, please ask Mr. for advice. ”
Ye Ling nodded quietly and said, "A certain is appreciated by His Highness, and it is a matter of a certain matter to share worries for His Highness." Now the situation has changed greatly, the King of Qi and the King of Shu are unreliable, not only unreliable, His Royal Highness has to cut off all ties with these two people, and the destruction must not be soft-hearted, only in this way can he keep His Royal Highness a trace of hope for a comeback. ”
Li Ke has always hesitated about severing contact with the fifth and sixth children, not because of his soft-heartedness, but because Li Ke still has a trace of ambition, thinking about continuing the "Sky Dance" operation, at this time, seeing Ye Ling said so carefully, he was quite hesitant for a while, nodded noncommittally and said: "This king has his own measure in this matter, well, since Xiaoba has 'woken up', this king thinks this is a signal, will he want to go back to Beijing to stir up right and wrong?" "Li Zhen was injured or not injured as the mastermind of the assassination case, Li Ke still has a number in his heart, and naturally he can guess that Li Zhen is just acting, for Li Zhen's idea of returning to Beijing, Li Ke is also vaguely aware of it, but he has not yet made up his mind whether he should intervene or not, after all, it is too much involved, and he has to ask Yu Ye Ling at this time.
Seeing that Li Ke was concerned about other things, Rao is Ye Ling had always been calm, and he was a little anxious at this time, but it was not good to accuse Li Ke of being emotional, so he had to say patiently: "Your Highness, this matter is related to the important affairs of Your Highness, you must not be careless, if the expectation is not bad, it is inevitable for His Royal Highness King Yue to return to Beijing, well, I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Yue and King Wei have reached an agreement, and His Royal Highness King Yue will inevitably stir up right and wrong when he returns to Beijing, but there is a deep meaning in this, not only the East Palace, but also His Royal Highness Yue Wang is also one of the goals of His Royal Highness King Yue." ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Li Ke was stunned when he heard it, without him, Li Ke would not be surprised when he said that Li Zhen wanted to deal with the prince, without him, the prince was the common goal of the big guys, but when it came to Li Zhen to deal with himself, Li Ke didn't believe it very much.
Ye Ling said with a solemn face: "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, although King Yue is a great talent, in terms of civil and military affairs, no one among the princes can stand out, that is, there are not many people in the whole country who can be called with him, and he should be the best candidate for the throne, but unfortunately there are three things that determine the possibility that King Yue will never ascend the throne this time - first, His Royal Highness King Yue is a concubine, and this identity is a big problem when he is there; Second, His Royal Highness the King of Yue started too late, and there was no one in the court, just imagine, if His Majesty wants to establish a prince, how can he set up a person who is opposed by all the ministers? Third, His Royal Highness King Yue is so outstanding that it is inevitable that the Holy Lord will be wary of it in his heart, otherwise he would not send His Royal Highness King Yue to Qizhou at such a time, so I think that His Royal Highness King Yue will never have the slightest possibility of entering the East Palace this time, what does the prince think? ”
What Ye Ling said was too straightforward, and he also said the words of establishing a concubine or not a concubine, which deeply hurt Li Ke's heart, after all, he is also a concubine, but he is angry, but Li Ke will not attack his own henchman, and thought about it: "What Mr. said is very true, and this king also thinks so." ”
"That's right!" Ye Ling nodded and said: "I can see this, how can I not see these three with the talent of King Yue, so I think that His Royal Highness King Yue is not going to Beijing this time to go to the position of the East Palace, but it is just that Xiang Gong is dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong, and it is determined that His Royal Highness King Yue must be planning to meddle in the court situation!" And who is the weakest in the current situation? It's His Royal Highness, how can His Royal Highness King Yue not take His Highness as a lawyer? Moreover, the prince has always been close to the king of Qi and the king of Shu, and now the king of Shu is crumbling, and the king of Qi is completely finished in front of him. ”
"This ......" Li Ke was stunned, it was not that he hadn't thought about these problems, but after so many years of hard work, he was really reluctant to give up for a while, and after muttering for a while with an ugly face, he asked hesitantly: "How to deal with the 'Heavenly Dance'?" ”
"Stopped." Ye Ling said unceremoniously: "All that has been exposed has been erased, all that is still in the dark has died down, everything is waiting for the opportunity, the manpower can be slowly recruited, and the strength can be rebuilt, as long as His Highness does not fall, everything can start again." ”
"Well, just do what Mr. said!" Li Ke was silent for a long time, sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat rolling out of his head, gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do with Xiaoba's head?" ”
"One word 'retreat'!" Ye Ling Zhengrong said: "His Royal Highness the King of Guanyue is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, as long as His Royal Highness gives His Royal Highness the King of Yue enough face, he will never kill them all, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Yue is satisfied, then he should go back to find trouble with the King of Wei, of course, it will only be after the prince falls, once the King of Yue and the King of Wei fight, His Royal Highness's opportunity will come!" ”
"Good! That's it! Wu King Li Ke clenched his fists vigorously, gritted his teeth and said: "Chuan Ben Wang Order: Collect the troops!" ”
After learning that Li Zhen had woken up, the crown prince Li Chengqian panicked, made a big burst of thunder in the East Palace, smashed several pieces of porcelain, and severely punished the eunuchs and palace maids around him who were not pleasing to the eye, and then sent someone to call Xiao Jun into the Xiande Palace, jumped to his feet and said: "Waste, all waste!" Damn dog thing, I can't do a little thing, this time it's good, people didn't kill but fell into the hands of others, and now that slut has woken up, if it's really a copy of the palace, how should this be? ”
Xiao Jun naturally knew what Li Chengqian was so angry for, but it was just because Su Gan Chengji knew a lot of secrets, Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Zhen would stab Li Shimin and spoil the big thing that he had been planning for a long time, but he didn't think much of it, he was very calm, and waited until Li Chengqian had enough seizures, and then replied respectfully: "Your Highness, don't panic, His Royal Highness King Yue has never been injured, and how can he wake up, if he wants to go to this book a long time ago, I think that His Royal Highness King Yue will definitely not go to this chapter on this matter, It is possible to return to Beijing under the pretext of recuperating from injuries. ”
"Don't get on the book? So what's the use of him keeping people? Do you keep it as a bird? Li Chengqian didn't believe Xiao Jun's judgment, and asked angrily.
"Your Highness is angry, I think His Royal Highness King Yue is planning to sell it at a high price, I'm afraid that he just wants to knock out some benefits from His Highness, just prevent him from handing over people to King Wei, everything is negotiable." Xiao Jun said unhurriedly.
"It's as simple as that?" Li Chengqian was willing to believe Xiao Jun's judgment and asked with a sneer.
"Not bad." Xiao Jun said with certainty: "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, His Royal Highness King Yue is not a good person, and it is not that he doesn't want to bring down His Highness, but he doesn't dare to do that, the reason is very simple, at this time, if His Royal Highness is brought down, it can only be cheaper King Wei, and His Royal Highness King Yue will not fail to see this article, if it is not so, His Royal Highness King Yue should be in trouble in the case of the arsenal, instead of silently helping His Royal Highness to cover." ”
"Huh?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while before he understood the truth that Xiao Jun said, but he was still not at ease in his heart, paced back and forth on the main hall for a few steps, frowned and said: "Having said that, wouldn't it be to encourage his arrogance if he wants this palace to give him benefits, and besides, that fool of Su Gan Chengji knows too much, and it is a disaster to keep it, so it is better to get rid of it." ”
Dead people don't leak secrets, how can Xiao Jun not know this truth, politics itself is ruthless, Xiao Jun can also understand, but the words that will come out of Li Chengqian's mouth can't help but make Xiao Jun feel a little cold, but he didn't dare to say a word, so he had to ponder for a while before he spoke: "If Your Highness wants to get rid of this person, then you can only act on the way back to Beijing by waiting for King Yue." ”
"Back to Beijing? Who let him go back to Beijing, no, at this time, he must not let that return to Beijing! As soon as Li Chengqian heard that Li Zhen was going back to Beijing, he immediately jumped up.
"Your Royal Highness, King Yue must have already asked to return to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries in this chapter, and I thought that the Holy Lord would definitely agree......" Before Xiao Jun finished speaking, Li Chengqian immediately interrupted: "No, this palace must not let that cheap seed enter Beijing, if it is really a bad thing, how can it be done?" This palace will go to my father. ”
"Your Highness, slow down, if this matter comes to the Holy Lord, how can His Highness talk about it, it is terrible for a person to accidentally leak the news, and even if His Royal Highness King Yue returns to Beijing, it will never be a big deal, but it can be used skillfully." As soon as Xiao Jun saw that Li Chengqian was about to run out in a hurry, he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Oh? How to use it? Let's talk about it with Hongu? As soon as he heard that he could use Li Zhen, Li Chengqian immediately stopped and asked expectantly.
Xiao Jun leaned into Li Chengqian's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, King Yue is ambitious, why doesn't Your Highness simply let him be wild, otherwise...... Can it be? ”
"Oh? Hahaha......" The more Li Chengqian listened, the more excited he became, and at the end, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, according to what Mr. said, this palace really wants to see how wild Xiaohachi is!" ”
