Chapter 869: Plans Change
After Li Jiancheng made up his mind, he summoned the subordinate officials of the East Palace, as well as Li Yuanji and Wang Yu.
He said to everyone: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to set up an ambush when the Praetorian Guard changes guards, and after the court meeting is dispersed, I will lead Li Shimin into the ambush circle."
"In the last move, he killed Li Shimin and disposed of the body, and he didn't know it."
The crowd felt that there was no problem with the plan.
But Wei Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Who is Your Highness going to let lead King Qin into the ambush circle?" ”
This link is crucial, and if this person does not succeed in leading the King of Qin into the ambush circle, it will be a failure.
Li Jiancheng set his eyes on a person: "Xiao Yu'er, you go." ”
"Me?" Wang Yu was surprised, could Li Jiancheng still be suspicious of her and want to test her?
Li Jiancheng nodded: "That's right, Li Shimin trusts you, and he won't doubt your words."
"And I believe that with your ingenuity, you will be able to successfully lead Li Shimin into the trap."
As he spoke, he looked at the crowd again: "What do you think?" ”
Wei Zheng took the lead in saying: "If Princess Jinyang goes, then there is no problem." ”
Li Yuanji showed a malicious gaze: "I also agree, this task must be Xiao Yu'er." ”
Although the eldest brother trusted Wang Yu, he always remained suspicious of Wang Yu because Wang Yu and Princess Qin were too close.
Others agreed.
Wang Yu immediately said: "Okay, leave this task to me, eldest brother, don't worry, I will definitely lead King Qin into the ambush circle." ”
"Okay." Li Jiancheng was very happy and took out a map.
This is a map of the Imperial Palace, which is very simple and marks some important palaces.
Li Jiancheng pointed to a certain place on the map and said to Wang Yu: "Tomorrow, you introduce Li Shimin to this place, Ningyun Pavilion." ”
Wang Yu made a note of the location: "Okay." ”
Then, Li Jiancheng's finger swiped on the map and told everyone about the detailed deployment.
After the deployment, Li Jiancheng's face was full of high morale: "This time, we must eradicate Li Shimin." ”
After everyone left, only Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were left in the hall.
At this time, Li Yuanji said to Li Jiancheng: "Eldest brother, I still can't trust Wang Yu. ”
"Why?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Yuanji replied: "Wang Yu has been raised by the eldest grandson since she was a child, and her relationship with the eldest grandson is not ordinary, and now that we want to kill Li Shimin, she may be unbearable and tell Li Shimin our plan."
"If she tells Li Shimin about our plan, then Li Shimin denounces us to his father, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Li Jiancheng frowned: "Wang Yu is a smart person, although she attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but it is a matter of the future, and she knows how to make trade-offs."
"What's more, I promised Wang Yu that I would leave the lives of the eldest grandson and her child, and Wang Yu will not betray me for this.
"Think about it, this can not only save the life of the eldest grandson, but also fulfill her affection for the eldest grandson's nurturing, and also get the power of the dragon, killing two birds with one stone, how could she betray me?"
Li Yuanji immediately retorted: "If Wang Yu helps Li Shimin get rid of us, he can also preserve her affection for the eldest grandson and get the merit of the dragon."
"And if she helps Li Shimin, she won't have to worry about the eldest grandson clan turning against her after knowing the truth."
Li Jiancheng froze, and Shiro's words made sense.
But after Wang Yu put forward this condition at that time, he was really relieved, at least Wang Yu had a weakness, and he could use the eldest grandson clan to control Wang Yu in the future.
If Wang Yu had no weaknesses at a young age, he would not trust Wang Yu.
After a moment of silence, Li Jiancheng spoke up again: "You are wrong, the reason why Wang Yu took such a big risk to help me is because I am the crown prince, and my father supports me."
In Wang Yu's heart, whoever gets the support of his father will win.
"Therefore, she will definitely not choose to help Li Shimin."
Looking at the confidence on Li Jiancheng's face, Li Yuanji was a little anxious: "Eldest brother, what if you believe her wrong?" ”
Li Jiancheng suddenly looked at him with a strange gaze: "Just now when I said that I wanted Wang Yu to lead Li Shimin into the ambush circle, you were in favor of it, why are you against it now?" ”
"I don't object to her leading Li Shimin into the trap, but we should take this situation into account, in case Wang Yu rebels, we have to have a countermeasure." Li Yuanji said.
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is your plan?" ”
Li Yuanji immediately said his plan: "...... If we do this, we can not only know whether Wang Yu is really helping you or pretending to take refuge, but also kill Li Shimin. ”
After listening, Li Jiancheng was silent for a while, and then ordered someone to summon Shan Xiongxin.
"The plan has changed, and I'll tell you again about the deployment."
In the end, Li Jiancheng specially instructed Shan Xiongxin: "This matter must not be known to others, but only the three of us, understand?" ”
Shan Xiongxin glanced at Li Yuanji next to him, and solemnly responded: "The last general understands." ”
......
Qin Wangfu.
Wang Yu quickly drew a map of the palace, and while swiping his fingers, he said, "The prince asked me to lead the second brother to Ningyun Pavilion, which is here."
"In addition to Ningyun Pavilion, the prince also ambushed people outside the Yuchang Pavilion, the Thousand Step Corridor and the Zhaoqing Palace.
"Also, the prince will arrange for someone to drag his father and prevent the news of Lingyun Pavilion from reaching his father's ears."
Li Shimin stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
After looking at the map for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji showed concern on his face: "The prince not only ambushed people in Ningyun Pavilion, but also ambushed people outside, surrounding Ningyun Pavilion on three sides.
"And the two palace gates closest to Ningyun Pavilion, Anli Gate and Rihua Gate, one is guarded by the prince's people, and the other is guarded by His Majesty's people, which is very unfavorable to the king.
"It seems that the prince's assassination plan for tomorrow is bound to succeed."
Zhang Shigui was also worried: "The king will enter the palace tomorrow, and he can't bring too many people, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the prince and His Majesty."
"So, the king, you can only take two people in."
The prince has lived in the palace for a long time, and there is naturally no shortage of manpower, not to mention such a major event as the assassination of King Qin, the people arranged by the prince must all be elite.
And there are only two people around King Qin, and they can't bring weapons when they enter the palace, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, and it is difficult to ensure that King Qin can get out of Ningyun Pavilion alive.
At this time, Zhang Liang persuaded: "King, why don't we tell Your Majesty about this matter directly, as long as Your Majesty searches for the prince's person from the Ningyun Pavilion, you can convict the prince." ”
"Nope." Li Shimin immediately vetoed: "It's just that those killers are caught, and the prince can't be convicted." And if they insist that they are not here to assassinate me, what can we do?
"At that time, it will not only startle the snake, but also expose the identity of Xiao Yu'er."
That's right.
Wang Yu nodded silently, if she directly denounced Li Jiancheng like this, Li Jiancheng would inevitably suspect her, and when she lost Li Jiancheng's trust, she would not be able to help Li Shimin find out the news.
Zhang Liang sighed and couldn't help asking: "If the plan is calculated, is the king sure that he will hold out until His Majesty arrives?" ”
