Chapter 126: Minister
Before he died, the emperor allowed Li Yunze to visit Gu Nanxiang's grave.
Li Yunze lay in front of Gu Nanxiang's grave, but his face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Nanxiang, I'm here to accompany you." The corners of Li Yunze's mouth suddenly rose slightly, revealing a weird and affectionate smile, "We can finally be together, and no one can separate us anymore." ”
And after the guards reacted, Li Yunze had already committed suicide by biting his tongue and died in front of Gu Nanxiang's grave.
Li Yunze died, and all the people related to Li Yunze were also trembling, for fear that Li Yuankang would attack him.
Because these people were very targeted at Li Yuankang at the beginning, and even tried every means to frame Li Yuankang.
But until Li Yunze was buried, Li Yuankang did not take specific action.
At this time, the emperor also knew more about Li Yuankang and knew that Li Yuankang was a kind-hearted person.
However, there are still voices of opposition to the release in the court, and the leader of them is Gu Nanxiang's father, Gu Chengxiang.
If Li Yuankang wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, he must get rid of Prime Minister Gu, but Prime Minister Gu has a deep relationship, and there are Prime Minister Gu's eyeliner and henchmen almost everywhere in the court.
On the surface, these people don't seem to have anything to do with Prime Minister Gu. But as long as it is an extraordinary moment, he will be Prime Minister Gu's right-hand man.
Li Yuankang also clearly knows that Prime Minister Gu Cheng is his biggest opponent now.
Zhu Ajiao supported Li Yuankang to become the emperor, so Zhu Ajiao also helped Li Yuankang find a way to deal with Prime Minister Gu.
But Prime Minister Gu is very cunning and sets up protection for himself everywhere.
Because Prime Minister Gu Cheng has military power in his hands, although the emperor has the heart, he has no real way to make Prime Minister Gu Cheng tie his hands.
And Prime Minister Gu Cheng was clearly aware of his threatening situation, although on the surface everything seemed to be calm, but behind the scenes, he began to plan a rebellion.
Because without Li Yunze's help, it would not be easy for Prime Minister Gu Cheng to rebel.
This person who is not righteous, there will definitely not be many people who support Prime Minister Gu.
As a result, a big plan for rebellion was formed in Prime Minister Gu's mind.
Because there are soldiers stationed at the border all year round. Prime Minister Gu actually has contact with the foreign clans around the border, and this time in order to force the emperor to abdicate, Prime Minister Gu Cheng tried to unite these people.
Soon the emperor received a letter from the border pass.
The emperor didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately ordered Prime Minister Gu Cheng to lead his troops to the battle.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is old, I'm afraid he can't do it." Gu Chengxiang relied on his military power and began to shirk with the emperor.
"In that case, then you hand over the military power, and I will let the others go up." The emperor knew that the border matter was very urgent, and he could not hesitate at all.
"Does the emperor want to take away my military power?" Prime Minister Gu Cheng no longer concealed it at this time, and looked at the emperor with an angry face.
The emperor knew that Prime Minister Gu Cheng's power was huge, and if he really fell out, maybe the palace would be surrounded by soldiers immediately, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"There is no room for hesitation in border matters, this military power is naturally yours." The emperor tried his best to appease.
"The emperor is too worried, it's not impossible for me to hand over the military power, it's just that this leading troops to fight is really not a joke, if you don't have the determination to die, it is not suitable to lead troops to fight." Gu Cheng said slowly in front of everyone.
The implication of this is that the court is full of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. More importantly, it is to scare everyone.
At this time, everyone's focus was on Li Yuankang.
If Li Yuankang can't stand up at this time, then he won't be able to convince the public when he inherits the throne.
"Father, the child is willing to go." Li Yuankang took it over, full of momentum.
"Good, good!" The emperor shouted happily.
"Can the prince think clearly, this is a long way to go to the border, and there is more than luck." Prime Minister Gu wanted to scare Li Yuankang.
"Thank you Prime Minister Gu for reminding me, it's just a major event in this country, if I don't go, who can take responsibility?" Li Yuankang retorted with a righteous face.
Soon, Prime Minister Gu Cheng handed over the military power in his hand, and the emperor also deliberately gave Li Yuankang a wine to practice.
"Yuankang, you must be careful on the way here, I am afraid that Prime Minister Gu will set up an ambush on the road, so that you will not be able to reach the border normally." Zhu Ajiao said to Li Yuankang with a worried face.
"Madam, please rest assured, I have my own measure in this matter, and I will definitely come back well." Li Yuankang held Zhu Ajiao's hand and said affectionately.
When the autumn wind rose and Wanmu was depressed, Li Yuankang wore a golden armor and rode on a jujube red horse, leaving the capital from Xizhimen, and gradually blended with the sunset.
Late at night. Prime Minister Gu Cheng sat in the room, with a map on the table.
From Xizhimen to the border pass, Prime Minister Gu set up eighteen bayonets along the way.
Each bayonet has Prime Minister Gu's henchmen, and there is only one purpose, which is to kill Li Yuankang.
Li Yuankang went all the way to the west, because the border was urgent, and the road was very fast.
When he came to the first bayonet, it was still early, so Li Yuankang ordered a night march.
Seeing that Li Yuankang did not stop, Prime Minister Gu Cheng's henchmen who had a bayonet on the handle hurriedly led his men and horses to assassinate Li Yuankang.
But soon these people revealed their whereabouts and were discovered by Li Yuankang.
So Li Yuankang waited for work and set a trap, and when these people arrived, they were all surrounded.
Say. Who is behind you? ”
Li Yuankang wanted to get conclusive evidence of Gu Chengxiang's rebellion from the mouths of these people.
But these people suddenly committed suicide without saying a word.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I think these people are all prepared, we really have to be careful along the way." The lieutenant on the side reminded with a worried face.
"Everybody's on their guard." Li Yuankang's brows furrowed.
For the sake of safety, Li Yuankang adopted Zhu Ajiao's suggestion and selected a few soldiers of similar shape to himself in the army and asked them to pretend to be himself.
But Li Yuankang took off his armor and put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier.
Keep moving forward while passing through a few levels. Every time, a killer will come and assassinate him.
A few times he escaped, and a few times he encountered a powerful one, and these soldiers who imitated Li Yuankang were stabbed to death.
Because of the proper precautions, Li Yuankang was never harmed and arrived at the border safely.
Seeing the army coming to the border, the barbarians who tried to harass quickly retreated.
Li Yuankang returned triumphantly without sending a single soldier.
And along the way, Li Yuankang was also ambushed and murdered.
But in the end, Li Yuankang returned to the palace safely and stood in front of the emperor and Prime Minister Gu Cheng.
