Chapter 195: A False Shot (I)
At this time, it was dinner time, the smoke in Chang'an City was everywhere, and the white or black smoke swayed in the wind to splash the ink like an elegant dance, it was really a good enjoyment to be able to stand on the top of the mountain and look at such beautiful scenery, if there is still a beauty on the side, it is even more of a taste in the heart, but in the face of such a beautiful scenery Li Zhen seems a little absent-minded, without him, Li Zhen invited Pei Yan to visit today, In addition to accompanying his sweetheart, but the main thing is to avoid suspicion.
Li Zhen was waiting, waiting for the last news in the city to come, and finally, at the moment when the sunset was about to sink completely, a flying horse galloped from the direction of Chang'an City, and rushed onto the hill without pause, and the knight on the horse rushed to a short distance in front of Li Zhen. ”
This sentence sounds very ordinary, nothing surprising, but it falls on Li Zhen's ears, but it is two concepts, the actual meaning of this sentence is that the things in Jingshi have been done according to the original plan, and how to sing the next play depends on Li Zhen - the eldest grandson Chengliang is crazy, which is a goal to be achieved in the plan, of course, the reason why he is crazy is because of the combined effect of the cup of Zhuangxing wine presented by Cui Ze and Li Tai's pure heart and clear sandalwood - the wine is a medicinal wine, but it does not have any toxicity, It's just that it contains the essence of the mandala flower, but once the fire lotus ingredient contained in the sandalwood used by Li Tai in his daily life is triggered, it can immediately cause hallucinogenic results, so the eldest grandson Chengliang, who was originally mentally defective due to stimulation, completely lost himself under the effect of strong hallucinogens and became a complete martial madman.
The eldest grandson Chengliang went crazy in the Wei Palace, which is just one of the goals in the plan, and the other goal is to create some estrangement between the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Tai, of course, Li Zhen did not expect the eldest grandson Wuji to blame Li Tai for the madness of the eldest grandson Chengliang, but well, it is enough to create a situation in the melon field and Li Xia, at least so that the eldest grandson Wuji will not completely fall to Li Tai, once this is the case, Li Tai, who feels that he has no hope of gaining the support of the eldest grandson Wuji in a short period of time, is bound to take the lead and force his shot, so that The contradiction will be intensified first, it is better than letting the old man calmly deploy and wipe out all the princes' forces to be strong - Li Tai makes trouble, Li Ke will inevitably be forced to follow, and at this time, the affairs of the harem have not yet been settled, even if the old man can finally help the incompetent Li Zhi on the horse, it can only be a compromise result, and it will never be able to uproot the power of the princes, and Li Zhen wants this kind of result, as long as he can take the opportunity to install people in the court, Li Zhen is not afraid that Li Zhi can sit firmly in the East Palace, Everything can be planned slowly.
Hearing such news, although Li Zhen was excited in her heart, her face was very calm, and she just smiled and said, "It's okay, then go back to the house, lead the horse!" ”
Li Zhen gave an order, and his own guards led the jujube red horse over, Li Zhen turned over, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, this king will send you back to the post station first." As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his hand and hugged Pei Yan into his arms, and without waiting for Pei Yan's exclamation, he let out a long laugh, and rushed down the hill bag and rushed straight to the direction of the post station......
"How's it going, gentlemen?" As soon as Li Zhen returned to his palace, he didn't take a breath of anger, and went straight to the study.
Na Long is the actual person in charge of this plan, and he took the lead in speaking: "Back to His Royal Highness, it is now clear that the eldest grandson Chengliang is crazy, and after His Royal Highness the King of Wei personally sent him back to the house, now it is already out of the door, and the matter of contacting the important ministers has been in full swing, and in addition, it is reported that His Royal Highness the King of Wu has also begun to make corresponding preparations after learning that the King of Wei has moved. ”
"Hmm." Li Zhen nodded noncommittally, strode to the top and sat down, frowned and said: "It seems that there will be a good show in the morning of the day after tomorrow, heh, this king is looking forward to it, oh, by the way, the order will go down, immediately cut off all contact with Cui Ze, all those who have contacted Cui Ze will be transferred to other branches, in addition, inform Cui Ze to continue to lurk, it is best to take the opportunity to break into the eldest grandson's family, if not, but there is no need to be reluctant, from now on, unless this king personally orders, no one is allowed to contact him again, This matter must not be delayed, Eighteen Lang, and you will do it immediately. Yan Shiba, who was standing silently on the side, flashed out, replied respectfully, and walked out of the study, not mentioning this matter.
Although the current things are all going according to the plan step by step, Li Zhen is still not very down-to-earth in his heart - Li Zhen can guess what the King of Wei, King Wu and even the eldest grandson family will do, but he can't see through how the old man will deal with it, this alone is a headache for Li Zhen - he doesn't want to dig the pit he worked so hard to dig, but in the end, it is himself who jumps down, such a "happy thing", just thinking about it makes Li Zhen feel upset, not to mention that Concubine Yan is now also involved in the whirlpool, once she loses, Li Zhen is afraid that it will be too late to cry, and Li Zhen can't help but act imprudently.
"How will the Emperor deal with it?" Li Zhen frowned, her fingers unconsciously tapped on the armrest, and asked as if talking to herself.
This is not the first time Li Zhen has raised this question, he has asked it as early as when the plan was formulated, and the two major strategists have also answered it more than once, at this time, I heard Li Zhen bring up this matter again, and I understand that Li Zhen's intentions are not asking this question, it is just a manifestation of no confidence in my heart, but I understand that as a strategist, I already have the responsibility of a strategist, and the two strategists are not bothered, and Mo Li, who has never spoken, smiled and said: "Your Highness, why should you worry so much, now the ministers are in chaos, Each has its own master, how can Your Majesty have any other choice than to make a compromise, isn't this the result that His Highness wants? ”
"Yes, what Brother Mo said is reasonable, and let the two kings of Wei and Wu make trouble, His Royal Highness can make a false shot, once the Holy Lord takes a compromise, he will definitely adjust the court situation, and at that time, His Royal Highness can take advantage of the situation to place people in the future!" Nalong said with a smile.
Hehe, too, what do you want to do so much, the left and right have reached such a point, then let's see! Li Zhen smiled to herself, and didn't say anything more on this topic, just thinking about letting people pass the meal and solve the stomach problem, but saw the housekeeper Liu Dequan walking in with a hunched body and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived, and he is waiting outside the door at this time." ”
Well? How did this kid pop up again! When Li Zhen heard this, he was stunned - when Hou Junji rebelled, Li Su, the king of Shu, was also one of the participants, although it was anyway, but after all, he was still involved, but Li Shimin did not punish him, but he did not let him participate in the government again, but he just issued an edict, so that he thought about it behind closed doors at home. Even Li Zhen forgot that there was such an ambitious brother here, and when he heard Li Zhen's visit at this time, he really made Li Zhen a little confused.
"Let's just say that this king is resting, let him come back another day." At this delicate moment, more things are better than less, Li Zhenshi didn't want to have anything to do with the sixth child who had participated in the rebellion, frowned and thought for a while, and waved his hand.
"Yes." Liu Dequan bowed down and answered, and was about to retreat, but he heard Mo leave his mouth and say: "Wait, it's better for the prince to meet His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”
"Oh? What does Mr. Mok mean by this? Li Zhen was at a loss and didn't know what Mo Li's intention was by saying this, and asked suspiciously.
Mo Li shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and said with a smile: "Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is not a lonely lord after all, and he is just here to take refuge in His Highness." ”
"Take refuge in this king? Where does this begin? Li Zhen really didn't expect this possibility - that's right, Li Zhen is kind to Li Su, but Li Zhen doesn't think that Li Zhen is a grateful master, in Li Zhen's view, the battle for imperial power is the road of naked blood, during which all the grievances and grievances are false, and there is no father-son love on the road to the heir, where is the kindness at all, besides, Li Zhen is scheming, not a good bird, plus guilty, Li Zhen really doesn't want to catch up with him.
Mo Li didn't explain further, just smiled and said: "Your Highness will know when you see it, I'm afraid it's not good to make people wait for a long time, Your Highness just go, there is no harm in it." ”
Seeing that Mo Li said so surely, Li Zhen didn't say anything more, buried all the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, this king will meet this sixth brother." As soon as the words fell, he got up, walked out of the study, and walked out of the palace surrounded by guards holding lanterns.
It was already a little dark, and it was meal time, there were no pedestrians on the street outside the Yue Wang's Mansion, and there was only a non-luxurious carriage parked in the wall, and Li Su, the king of Shu, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood silently beside the car, and his tall and burly figure in the past had become a little more rickety at this time, and a pair of eyes looked blankly at a few dead wind lamps hanging outside the Xia Gate, and there was no trace of expression on his cold face, no matter how the gatekeepers of the Yue Wangfu flattered, he did not react until he saw Li Zhen walking out of the gate of the palace, Li Su's face showed a hint of a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Sixth brother, what kind of wind blew you here? Hehe, the little brother can't meet him, and he asks Haihan to be one. Li Zhen greeted with a sincere smile on her face.
"Haha, the eighth brother is still so funny, this wind, there is, hehe, there is a yin wind blowing in the summer, and this blow will blow my brother, what? The eighth brother doesn't know? Seeing Li Zhen smiling and joking, Li Zhen replied with a smile.
Hehe, the big summer wind? Is there anything else in this kid's words, interesting! Li Zhen's heart moved, and when she remembered what Mo Li said in front of her head, she didn't hesitate any longer, waved her hand with a smile, and made a gesture of please: "Little brother really doesn't know, I have to mention more from the sixth brother, please inside the sixth brother, you and my brother haven't been together for a long time, just have a good time together." ”
"Well said! Haha, eighth brother please! Li Su didn't be polite, waved his hand with a smile, stepped forward, and walked side by side with Li Zhen, and the two brothers talked and laughed all the way to the back garden.
The back garden of the Yue Wang's Mansion is not too big, the area is the same as other princes' mansions are the general court customization, but Li Zhen has money, and knows how to enjoy, since he has made great efforts to arrange, the inside is full of flowers, the green grass is green, the rockery, the small pavilion is scattered, the bamboo forest is quiet, the lotus flowers are fragrant, but there is also a special interest, in the early summer, in the waterside pavilion to burn a pillar of anti-mosquito fragrance, light a few red candles, and then put a table of wine and food, accompanied by insects singing frogs, drinking to the moon, since it is a rare enjoyment, It's just that Li Zhen and his brothers have never been intoxicated, although they are each using wine and food, gossiping, but no one has brought up the topic first, and they are all thinking about it.
Li Zhen can endure it, that's because he has the bottom in his heart, but Li Zhen can't bear it anymore, after all, he didn't come to Li Zhen to drink and talk about Fengyue, seeing that Li Zhen didn't open his mouth to ask about the meaning, Li Zhen had no choice but to take the lead in provoking the conversation, put the wine bottle in his hand on a few pieces, and looked at Li Zhen with a smile: "With the talent of the eighth brother, how to know how to deal with today's court situation should be in your heart, and my brother won't hide it from you, hehe, my brother is here to take refuge in the eighth brother." ”
Damn, so straightforward? Hah,, really? Li Zhen was not paying attention, she was almost choked by the wine in her mouth, she hurriedly turned her head sideways, squirted out all the wine in her throat with a "plop", coughed a few times, and glanced at Li Zhen in disbelief, but did not ask questions.
"Eighth brother, don't you believe it?" Seeing Li Zhen behaving so unexpectedly, Li Zhen was very proud and laughed.
Unbelief? Ha, that's a natural thing, damn, you kid is running around to say such things, if I believe it, there will be a ghost! Li Zhen didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, she just smiled and said: "The sixth brother said that he was laughing, and the younger brother was just an idle person, and he didn't even pay much attention to the situation." ”
"Hey, my brother knows that the eighth brother doesn't believe it, of course, if my brother is in your position, I'm afraid he won't believe it either." Li Zhen smiled, ignored Li Zhen's prevarications, took out a fold from his big sleeve, handed it to Li Zhen, and said to himself: "Brother is now a guilty body, there is no hope for it in this life, hey, if the eighth brother can come to power, it would be easy to say, until the bad brother can still have a long life, maybe he can mix a county king, if that gang of bastards goes up, heh, brother is afraid that it will be difficult to think of a whole corpse, no, the courtiers on this fold are secretly cultivated by my brother for more than ten years, although it is not much, But in general, it can still be of some use, and the eighth brother can just do it. At this point, Li Su didn't say anything more, just picked up the wine bottle, drank the wine leisurely, and waited for Li Zhen's reply.
The excerpt is not long, and there is only one content, that is, Li Zhen is publicly recommended as the prince, and the number of courtiers who signed the back is quite a lot, and there are more than 30 of them in total, although there are no important ministers except for Xiao Miao, the left servant of the household department (the nephew of Xiao Yu in the middle book), but according to Li Zhen's understanding of Li Su, the courtiers on this excerpt are already all Li Su's family background, Li Su can put all the old bottoms out, which shows that his sincerity is undoubted, and then think about Li Su's current situation, Li Zhen is more and more sure that Li Ke is really going to take refuge in himself - Li Su and Li Ke, the king of Wu, are the same mother, and they have been together since they were children, but when they came to the back, Li Su secretly hooked up with Hou Junji behind Li Ke's back, which almost made Li Ke carry a big black cauldron, don't look at Li Ke's magnanimous appearance as an old man, in fact, he is a very grudgeful person, Li Ke wants to turn back and slap Li Ke is almost impossible, besides, now Li Ke's strength is weak, and there is almost no hope of winning in this battle for succession, How could Li Su be stupid enough to follow Li Ke again, as for the fourth brother, he is a domineering person, if he is on the throne, don't think about having a good life with his brothers, all the brothers can see this clearly, since no one will help him, in this way, Li Su's choice is actually only Li Zhen and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but well, as far as Li Su and other people who are very self-assured, they will never put Li Zhi in their eyes, just like that, Li Zhen has become Li Su's only choice.
"The sixth brother needs the younger brother to do something, please make it clear." Although Li Zhen figured out Li Su's choice, he didn't believe that Li Su would help him unconditionally.
"Haha......" Li Su laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it's refreshing to do things with the eighth brother, and the elder brother doesn't fight the ambush eye, then let's put it bluntly, since ancient times, the battle for imperial power is the winner wins, and the loser is the end of nothing, even if the father is wise, but it is inevitable, hey, the fifth is dead, the eldest prisoner, hey, I think a certain person has had the dream of flying since he was a child, and now he is defeated, although the father has no intention of severe punishment, but what will happen in the future, who can know, if the sixth brother wins the throne, it will be fine, others, hum, I'm afraid that my brother will be the material of the thief, that is, my brother should do his best to arch the sixth brother to the throne, not asking for anything else, but it is enough to survive for a long time! When Li Zhen said this, his face was full of despair and sadness, and the look of sadness was that Li Zhen saw it, and he couldn't bear it.
I can't bear it, but Li Zhen is still very sober in her heart - as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Zhen thinks that she has no chance to enter the East Palace, even if she adds Li Su's support, it is the same, besides, even if the old man agrees, Li Zhen thinks that she has no grasp of the position of the East Palace in the siege of the brothers, and when the time comes, he will be coaxed to step down and end up with Li Chengqian, it is better to lay a solid foundation in a down-to-earth manner, but this is not enough to be humane to the outside world, even if it is Li Su who is bent on defecting to himself, he can't be exempt. Facing Li Su's sad look, Li Zhen really didn't know how to explain it for a while......
