Chapter 41: The Comer Is Not Good
Li Chengqian felt that Yang Huai was even ready to wait for this moment, the so-called everything is ready only to owe Dongfeng is probably the case, Yang Huai planned the time, prepared the manpower, just waiting for such an opportunity to make a move when their father and son were not in harmony, and even from the beginning Yang Huai was close to him, it was for an opportunity like today to pave the way, but Li Chengqian didn't know that there was a more cunning person behind Yang Huai who was manipulating all this, secretly playing a bigger game of chess.
Li Chengqian nodded, but he had such ambition and hope, and shook his head blankly, it seemed completely impossible for him to betray his father, Li Chengqian only felt that his mind was in chaos, and asked Yang Huai uncertainly: "What is the purpose of you approaching me." ”
"Because you're the crown prince." Yang Huai's eyes were unwavering, but they hurt Li Chengqian's eyes, Yang Huai did not hide his purpose and ** at all, Li Chengqian seemed to have a needle in his heart, really, only to use.
Li Chengqian looked directly at Yang Huai, and unconsciously, he was able to make the same indifferent expression as Yang Huai: "I won't betray my father, if I don't do it, what will you do to me." Are you going to kill me. ”
Yang Huai shook his head calmly and sneered: "I don't have that much ability yet, and I am also controlled by others." ”
Today is the first time Li Chengqian has seen Yang Huai's smile, but it is so cold and without the slightest warmth: "We have been together for so long, you have never only wanted to use me, and you have never thought of treating me as a brother." ”
Yang Huai was stunned, he had never considered these questions, his heart was very confused, he didn't understand why he would agree to Li Junzhi's ridiculous requests in a daze, maybe he was still unwilling to do it in his heart.
In the days when he was close to the prince, Yang Huai had never put the prince in the position of a friend, even if the prince was so obsessed with and worshiped the Turkic culture, even if they were so happy when they hunted and talked together, Yang Huai never thought of treating him as a friend, maybe his atrium had long been closed, or maybe his atrium had already been filled by others.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, the prince is really good to himself, and even openly quarrels with the emperor in the court for himself, Yang Huai seems to be able to faintly feel the feelings that the prince himself is not aware of, Yang Huai suddenly has some sympathy for the prince, if he was not born in the royal family, maybe they will make true friends, maybe the prince's fate will not be so miserable.
Yang Huai thought for a long time, his indifferent eyes revealed a trace of pity, and he shook his head: "Prince, I am also thinking about you, only if you have the power, you can control your destiny, instead of being a useless prince now, being spurned and despised everywhere." ”
Li Chengqian waved his hand: "You go, I won't pursue you in the past, and I won't report you to my father." ”
Yang Huai turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Prince, I live in Chang'an Station, when you change your mind, you can come to me at any time." ”
After Yang Huai returned to the post station, Li Junzhi soon heard the wind and rushed over, Yang Huai knew that he had been targeted for a long time, and Li Junzhi's eyeliner had already been ambushed in this post station, but now he realized that it was no longer possible to leave and get out, Yang Huai used to be a victorious general who won a hundred battles, and under Li Junzhi's cunning and cunning, he first felt the feeling of being a man for a knife and a fish for meat, waiting to be at the mercy of Li Junzhi, a powerless literati.
Li Junzhi was really full of anger as he imagined, and when he entered the door, he asked Yang Huai with a slashed face: "Why did you let go of such a good opportunity." , The prince's current ambition, as long as you force him a little, he will compromise, why can't you bear it, is it true that you Yang Huaizhen is like a rumor in the outside world, and he is moved by a man. ,”
After all, Yang Huai is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he is indifferent to Li Junzhi's threat, but he replied calmly: "How could I, Yang Huai, do such a disgusting thing, I am retreating as advance, I always have a way to make him compromise." ”
However, in a few days, the crown prince was on the verge of a mental collapse under the pressure of the advisers who were inclined to other princes and his own father, Li Chengqian finally clearly felt his father's will, and for the first time in his lofty life, there was such a strong sense of crisis, Li Chengqian felt that his position was crumbling, and Yang Huai was the only life-saving straw he could grasp.
Li Chengqian had to admire Yang Huai's patience in casting a long line to catch a big fish at this time, Yang Huai must have expected that he would have such a day early in the morning, and there was no other way out except to force the palace to rebel, no wonder he would be so calm when he drove Yang Huai away that day, because he expected that there would be today, Yang Huai was really cruel.
This time and again, digging deep into the truth, made Li Chengqian's heart cold again and again, can he really trust Yang Huai again. Does Yang Huai really want to help him? He had long forgotten that Yang Huai was from the rough grassland, they were the descendants of the wolf clan, and greed and cruelty were in their nature, which was completely different from him, the prince who had always been pampered.
Yang Huai forced Li Chengqian to the point where there was no way out, Li Chengqian still found Chang'an Post Station with a very complicated mood, Yang Huai was leisurely drinking tea in the house, and when he saw Li Chengqian coming to the door, he looked expected, without any surprise or surprise, but as usual plain.
Neither of the two mentioned the suspicion and unhappiness of that day, and directly talked openly about the plan to force the palace to rebel, Li Junzhi had already made all plans, as long as an order was given, the five hundred dead soldiers would rush to the palace desperately.
After Li Chengqian and Yang Huai conspired, the mood did not seem to be as happy and relaxed as imagined, but more heavy, this bloody day is approaching day by day, Li Chengqian's mind has been echoing Yang Huai once said: "Don't forget, your father is stepping on his brother's flesh and blood to go to a high position, the stable society under your feet, how many generals and soldiers have exchanged their flesh and blood, don't be afraid of bloodshed and injury, the ending is written by the victor." ”
Li Chengqian never thought that one day he would face such a brutal killing, he seemed to think that Yang Huai's words were very reasonable, but he couldn't accept this theory, he only knew that he had no way out, either to be deposed or to ascend to the throne, but he didn't know that Yang Huai, like him, was at the mercy of others and had no way out.
Tang Changyu, Liuning and Yun Qing were already approaching Yumen Pass, and there was light snow in the sky, and the three of them decided not to continue to move forward, and one more stop tomorrow was Yumen Pass, although it was two days late from the previously agreed time, fortunately, everything went well, and the three of them stayed at the inn, and Tang Changyu began to plan how to carry out his plan.
But at this critical moment of victory, accidents will occur.
As soon as Tang Changyu and the three of them stayed in the hotel, they met an acquaintance, Princess Huajin. , the three of them were stunned, how could she be here.
Princess Huajin dusted off the wind and snow on her body, and looked at the three of them with surprised expressions very proudly: "How about it, this princess has quietly followed you all the way without being discovered by you, amazing." ”
Tang Changyu is in a mess now, he really killed a trip to bite the gold halfway, as soon as Princess Huajin came, all his plans were disrupted, maybe it was difficult to move an inch at all, and tomorrow it was time for the plan to be officially implemented, what should he do to drive Princess Huajin away in this night.
Just when Tang Changyu was upset, he heard Princess Huajin say with great interest: "Husband, you brought your sister back to worship your ancestors, how can you quietly leave and forget me." We're family. ”
Without waiting for Tang Changyu and Liuning to answer, Princess Huajin seemed to have found a stranger, and just bumped into Princess Huajin who walked in, Yun Qing was not easy to hide, and found that Princess Huajin was full of attention to Tang Changyu, Yun Qing originally planned to sneak away quietly while Princess Huajin was not paying attention, but she didn't expect to be discovered by her first.
"Sister, who is she." Princess Huajin curiously pointed at Yun Qing and asked Liuning.
Liu Ning was asked by this suddenly, his brain was a little blank in an instant, and he tried to shock himself, trying hard to fulfill this lie, not to let Yun Qing's identity be exposed: "This is the Turkic woman that Chang Yu and I rescued from human traffickers on the road, we saw that she was lonely and pitiful, and she took her with us on the way." ”
Yun Qing was originally very nervous, but when she heard Liuning's words, she quickly nodded in agreement. Princess Huajin sighed thoughtfully, and didn't pay attention to Yun Qing anymore.
Liuning hurriedly gave Tang Changyu a look, asked Tang Changyu to drag Princess Huajin, and let herself get out to send Yun Qing away first, her identity could not be exposed, Yun Qing could not stay any longer, fortunately, it was not too far from Yumen Pass here, after Yun Qing arrived at Yumen Pass, someone would pick her up completely safe, and Liu Ning was also relieved.
Yun Qing couldn't stay any longer, and Liuning couldn't leave for too long, so he was in a hurry to return not long after sending Yun Qing out, but fortunately, the snow didn't fall too much, and Yun Qing arrived at Yumen Pass safely, but he was always worried about Liuning and Tang Changyu.
When Liuning returned to the inn, Tang Changyu was eating with Princess Huajin, Princess Huajin was full of happiness, and from time to time she picked up vegetables for Tang Changyu, and when she saw Liuning coming back, she hurriedly beckoned her to sit down and eat together, Liuning looked at Tang Changyu who didn't know the taste of food, and looked a little worried, he had successfully sent Yun Qing away, and he was still worried about something.
Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's relaxed face after he came back, and seemed to be even more worried, Liuning didn't know his plan, did he have to give up like this.
Hurriedly ended this dinner, the night has come, the wind is rolling the snow, getting bigger and bigger, Princess Huajin stayed in the house alone, thinking about why Wanyan must come with her, Princess Huajin can't figure it out, seeing Tang Changyu and Liuning today, there seems to be nothing wrong and abnormal.
This is also what Tang Changyu is happy about, fortunately, he didn't tell Liuning about the plan in advance, so that she wouldn't panic with him, so that at least on the surface, they didn't have flaws.
The wind was howling, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and Princess Huajin seemed to hear something strange outside the door.
