"Your brother-in-law - Yang Siqiao?"

"Exactly."

"I actually saw him. He is not as majestic as when the first emperor was there, and he rarely comes to the queen mother when he hears it, and he only trains his own little eunuchs, and the position of permanent attendant is no longer in name. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "...... That's good. ”

Li Longye was puzzled: "Is this okay?" ”

“…… It's good to be alive. Before Xiao Jiangyuan came out of the palace, Yang Siqiao also said such things to her. At that time, he didn't ask anything, he just silently did everything he could do for his virtuous brother, and when he said goodbye, he also smiled heartily as usual, as if Xiao Jiangyuan was just going out on an ordinary trip.

They are brothers, they are family, and where they are together, they are home. He waited at home, and one day he would come home and be reunited with him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was calm for a while, Xue Chong said with a smile: "Wulang, where is your fruit pulp?" ”

Li Longye understood this time, and hurriedly chuckled a few times, and said, "I'll send someone to get it." ”

"Wait." Seeing Li Longye's action of getting up, Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't the king just say that he wanted the slave and maid to go with you?" The slave maid is happy, after all, the king sent someone to fetch it, the amount will not be too much, if the slave and maid go directly, but drink as much as you want, the king will not be stingy with the slave and maid. ”

"That's nature!" Li Longye said, "Ah Yuan, if you like it, don't say give it to you, as long as you want to drink it in the future, I will go directly to you, and it is okay to make it for you......"

Xue Chongjian shook his head: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with me." Anyway, I have to go back to the princess's mansion and tell A-Niang about the things here, so I have to reassure her. After a pause, he said, "Ah Yuan, what is your business in the Five Kings' Mansion ......?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiao Jiangyuan said, "Princess Zhenguo will only be more relieved if she knows." ”

As Xiao Jiangyuan expected, when Princess Taiping heard her son mention that Xiao Jiangyuan was in the Five Princes' Mansion, she was only slightly stunned, and after her eyes flowed, she smiled slightly: "Her vision is not bad, and she has finally gained some insight when she follows Ah Niang's side." ”

Xue Chongjian said: "Now it depends on how many soldiers and horses Liu Gong can recruit, and then he can formulate a specific plan for the coup." ”

"What more plans do you need?" Princess Taiping chuckled, "If it weren't for the fact that I was also under the nose of Empress Wei, I couldn't act rashly, and Li Sanlang would still be needed for this matter?" He was too young and too immature. ”

"A-Niang already has an idea in her heart?"

Princess Taiping didn't answer and asked: "Tell me, why did the coup d'état of the abolished prince Li Chongjun fail?" ”

"There are many reasons for this......

"In my opinion, he shouldn't have killed Wu Sansi's family first, and then entered the Daming Palace from the south. The soldier is very fast, if he enters the palace from the north, he will enter the inner court directly, who has time to inform the first emperor to escape, even if there is that time, Li Chongjun came from the north, and naturally occupied the Xuanwu Gate, where else can the first emperor go to hide, and he can only be captured? ”

"So, what A-Niang means is that this coup d'état should also start from the north of Daming Palace and go straight to the inner court, and it is best to set the overall situation with lightning speed?"

"After all, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and we can't hold out for long, and the longer we delay, the more unfavorable it will be for us. When Wei Hou reacts, we will only lose. Bluffing, just fast, you can tell Li Sanlang these eight words, he will understand. After a pause, Princess Taiping said again, "There is one more sentence to tell Xiao Jiangyuan for me." ”

"A-Niang doesn't want to scold A-Yuan, right?"

"She deserves it too?" Princess Taiping said proudly, "You tell her that one day is a teacher, a lifetime of grace, and I will never spare those who are ungrateful." ”

That night, after Xue Chongjian returned to the Five Princes' Mansion, he told Li Longji what Princess Taiping said, but it was not until the next day that he finally notified Xiao Jiangyuan of this last sentence.

Thinking that there were so many opportunities last night, Xue Chongjian never mentioned it, even when he told her today, his expression was quite unnatural, Xiao Jiangyuan smiled comfortably: "Guogong doesn't have to be like this, the teachings of Princess Zhenguo are not available to everyone, and slaves and maids must abide by them." ”

Xue Chongjian relaxed at this time, thought of Liu Youqiu's words today, and said with a smile: "I still remember what you said yesterday, maybe you really have a destiny, but today, there is no one else except my cousin." ”

However, in one day, Liu Youqiu recruited more than 3,000 people, although it was still incomparable with the strength of Empress Wei, but it was enough to attack the Daming Palace. As for how long it can hold out after the attack, it depends on the situation that night - coups are generally carried out at night, after all, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is suitable for chaos, and it is easy to achieve the "fast" that Princess Taiping said and the "suddenness" advocated by Li Longji.

It was June 18, and Li Longji, Liu Youqiu, and others were discussing the distribution of troops and the route of the coup. His expression was a little heavy, and he stopped talking a few times. Li Longji saw that he couldn't say anything, so he smiled and beckoned him to sit down, and then continued to talk to Liu Youqiu and the others. While turning his head, he glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan immediately walked to Purun's side, greeted him with a smile, and finally let Purun say what he meant. Pu Run's voice was extremely quiet, and he seemed to only want Xiao Jiangyuan to know. Xiao Jiangyuan listened very carefully, and couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard it, and his eyes sank slightly. Pu Run couldn't help but feel a sense of murder just now.

"Where are the others?" Xiao Jiangyuan's smile was very standard, and his tone was unusually gentle.

Purun said: "Just wait outside the Five Kings' Mansion." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "This person is quite courageous. ”

"Raven slave......" Purun said seriously, "I can assure you that he is sincere." He won't lie to me, and since he has such a mind, he will definitely not deceive and hide the slightest bit from King Linzi. It's just that...... I really don't know how to say to the king of Linzi, I really didn't leak this matter to him, and I don't understand, how did he know, I ...... There is also a crow slave in this matter. ”

"Such a handsome man, it's really not something that can be met by a mere crow slave, so Ah Lang must come in person." Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said, "Master, please feel at ease to taste tea, this matter will be handled by the crow slave." ”

At this time, Li Longji had already determined the distribution of troops, and had just set the main camp that night at Zhong Shaojing's mansion. Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan coming, Li Longji immediately said: "Director Zhong is not here today, you remember to send someone, please ask Director Zhong to come over tomorrow evening at the latest." ”

"Yes." Xiao Jiangyuan walked up to Li Longji as he spoke, and whispered, "Cui Ri, the squire of the military department, told Ah Lang what he wanted to do, do it as soon as possible, and he could do it internally. At this moment, people are outside the mansion of the five kings, and Ah Lang must see it. ”

Seeing Li Longji's smile slowly disappearing, Liu Youqiu and the others fell silent. Xiao Jiangyuan said: "If Ah Lang has any questions, you can know when you see it, just remember one thing, and you must not doubt it." ”

Li Longji nodded, and said with a smile: "Wait for me, San Lang will come back immediately." After speaking, Li Longji got up and saluted Liu Youqiu and the others before turning around and leaving. In just half an hour, not only did Li Longji come back by himself, but he also brought one more person. When they saw the man's appearance, everyone was shocked.

"Cui Shilang?" Liu Youqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Cui Ri saluted with a smile: "I didn't expect to see you here, it's polite." ”

Ge Fushun stood up and exclaimed, "What does this mean, king?" He...... He and Zong Chuke are a gang ......" Before he finished speaking, he had already covered his mouth by Chen Xuanli and forcibly buckled back to the mat.

Wang Chongye frowned and said, "Is it possible...... Cui Shilang and we are the same group? ”

Cui Riyong said: "Cui has long been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's intention to usurp the throne, although the Zong Xianggong is Cui's brother with a different surname, but the Tao is not the same. Cui didn't want to go along with them, and he also wanted to do something for Kuang Fu Datang. In recent days, Cui has observed that the Five Kings' Mansion is very unusual, and there are often civil officials, military generals and even monks and monks who come and go, just like a small court, and Cui Mou's friendship with Master Purun is also good. ”

To put it bluntly, compared to the coup d'état of King Linzi, he felt that Empress Wei's usurpation of the throne was more unreliable - she had neither the talent of Empress Zetian, nor the opportunity of Empress Zetian, and the most inappropriate idea of maneuvering at the most inappropriate time, she had already lost half of it, and the reason why the remaining half could still hold on was because she was the queen mother, even if she coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was justified and would never be poked in the back, and second, after all, she still had the strength to control Chang'an, these two points were enough to make her invincible, at least a tie, It's just up to her to take advantage of it.

Didn't Zong Chuke take a fancy to this point, so he felt that it was feasible for Empress Wei to be the emperor? People want to fight once and be the founder of the country, but he doesn't dare to joke with his life and future. He couldn't stop Zong Chuke's pace, let alone Empress Wei, he could only take care of himself. Since this is the case, this matter must not be said, he still has to help the king of Linzi, so that Empress Wei and Zong Chuke are not aware of their existence and actions at all-this is also the conclusion he came to after thinking about it for a long night.

Chen Xuanli said lightly: "The king believes it like this? ”

Li Longji smiled silently, and turned his eyes to look at Cui Riyong. Cui Riyong said: "If what Cui said is false, how can he stand here at this moment, and how can you be so safe and sound?" There is no need for the Queen Mother to use the trick of luring the snake out of the hole, she has to take a risk, just to let your charges fall on your head and do it again. At this moment, the country is not stable, unless it is a last resort, the queen mother will not blatantly move the clan, and the gains outweigh the losses. And the whole Chang'an is in the hands of the Queen Mother, if I tell the Queen Mother about this, the Queen Mother will only silently let the soldiers come around, catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed - to put it mildly, the life and death of you, no one will put it in the eyes, as for the King of Linzi, it is just a glass of poisonous wine, and then it is said that the King of Linzi died of a sudden illness, and the matter is solved. Think about it, is that so? ”
