Chapter 1418: Soldiers and Horses Surrounded
Today, the prince wants to meet Sun Housheng in person, will he agree?
Fools don't agree!
Sun Housheng is stuck in the quagmire, it is difficult to get out, in the final analysis, this popular uprising, he is just a puppet figure who was forcibly pushed out, in fact, everything is done by an unknown mysterious person behind it.
What's wrong with Sun Housheng?
He just has a relatively low IQ, and he was just taken advantage of.
As the leader of the popular uprising, it would have been a very dangerous thing for the prince to see him today, after all, he was the first evil in name for rebellion.
But Sun Housheng felt that this was his turning point.
Since the development of the situation, he has completely lost control and must find another way to escape and save his life.
And the prince's summons was an opportunity for him.
It is still on the shore of Taihu Lake, about ten miles away from the people's rebellion team, a temporary camp was built, and Li Sujie, the king of Xun, temporarily settled in the camp.
Two hours later, Sun Housheng came to the camp, and saw more than 1,000 armored soldiers outside the camp waiting in formation, the black armor, the sturdy horses, the swords and halberds that exuded cold light, and the cold and indifferent eyes of the soldiers......
Sun Housheng had not yet carried out the camp, and his legs and feet were already weak.
What the hell did you do, how dare you provoke the court!
Just the more than 1,000 soldiers in front of him gave him a sense of powerlessness in the face of the towering mountains.
Li Sujie met Sun Housheng in the tent.
Sun Housheng didn't come alone, he was followed by several burly men.
As soon as these people entered the tent, Li Sujie sensitively noticed that something was wrong.
After Sun Housheng entered the account, he bowed to the ground with a frightened face, and did not even dare to raise his head.
The burly men behind him were expressionless, and although they also bowed down, they didn't see much awe.
Li Sujie stared at Sun Housheng silently, he was observing Sun Housheng's expression.
The more he observed, the more strange he felt, at this moment Sun Housheng looked frightened, his slightly chubby body trembled, and his kneeling posture was also very religious.
How could such a person who was extremely reverent of imperial power incite the people to revolt?
Very unreasonable!
After a long time, Li Sujie said indifferently: "You instigated the Jiangning civil change?" ”
Sun Housheng trembled, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead: "I...... Villain, I ......"
As he spoke, Sun Housheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at the faces of several burly men behind him.
Turning his head, Li Sujie already understood a lot.
Bang!
Li Sujie slapped the table and shouted, "Someone! ”
Several members of the Li family rushed into the account.
Li Sujie pointed to several big men behind Sun Housheng and shouted: "Take down these people and behead them!" ”
Several big men were shocked, and before they could resist, the Li family rushed up and knocked them down, tied them up after three times and divided them by two, and escorted them out of the tent.
Only Li Sujie and Sun Housheng were left in the tent, and Sun Housheng's body trembled more and more violently, and his face was terrifyingly pale.
Li Sujie put on a pleasant smile and said, "Don't be afraid, the damned person is dead, now you and I might as well be honest with each other......"
After a pause, Li Sujie said again: "Of course, if you still don't want to be honest, I don't care, even if the imperial court doesn't send troops and horses to suppress it, just these more than 1,000 people outside the camp can quickly wipe out the people, presumably you should know this very well, right?" ”
Sun Housheng couldn't bear it anymore, his fat head slammed on the ground, and he cried: "The villain is innocent, he was coerced by someone!" Please save me, Your Highness! ”
Li Sujie showed a warm smile, and that smile was exactly the same as Li Qinzai.
"Come, let's have a good talk, what's going on."
Half an hour later, Li Sujie had a clear understanding of the causes and consequences of this popular uprising and all the inside stories.
Sun Housheng still knelt in front of him, looking at him uneasily.
Li Sujie was pondering.
This is the task given to him by Mr., and he must not only complete it smoothly, but also complete it simply and beautifully, so as to live up to his trust.
While he was thinking about it, a member of the Li family reported that General Xue Rengui had led the army to arrive, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses had been assembled under his command, and they were camping five miles away, and civilians could change at any time.
Li Sujie was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and walked out of the tent.
"Please General Xue immediately lead the troops and form a joint encirclement of the people, but don't use the sword soldiers, Mr. said, only investigate the first evil, and let the rest go."
…………
A large camp outside the city of Gusu.
Li Qinzai was chatting warmly with the heads of the family.
It is related to the vital interests of the imperial court and the major noble families, and it is impossible to negotiate in a short period of time.
From the tax policy of the land in the south of the Yangtze River to the number of troops in the New World, etc., after round after round of talks, Li Qinzai became more and more impatient and wanted to flip the table.
miscalculated, this kind of specific and trivial matter should be discussed with a courtier and subordinate official, my dignified county prince is like a vegetable seller and calculates with people, it is too cheap.
Unseemly!
The heads of the families present did not feel that they knew their value very well, that the land and interests given to them by the imperial court were not given away in vain, and that the imperial court also needed them to develop the new continent, so that the territory of the Tang Dynasty could expand at the same time, but also make the newly acquired land prosperous.
This can only be done by the noble families, the power of the imperial court is limited, and the landlords and merchants of the people are the backbone of development and prosperity.
Therefore, while the heads of the family understand their own value, they also have the confidence to compete with Li Qinzai.
Since everyone sits together to talk about cooperation, there is no reason to take the initiative to give up interests because of awe and fear.
You can kill me, but you have to give the benefits.
This is the state of mind of all heads of the family at this time.
The negotiations lasted a whole day from morning to evening, and the general direction of the talks was almost the same, but there were still many details that were not clearly discussed.
At this time, Li Qinzai's patience was almost at the limit.
Bearing the anger in his belly, Li Qinzai knocked on the table with his fingers and said, "Today's banquet, I can see that everyone is very happy......
All eyes were on him, their eyes full of doubt.
From what angle did you find that everyone was having fun?
Even elimination, intimidation and deterrence, all kinds of means take turns, we have the courage to chat with you all day, this is what you call "fun"?
Well, maybe you're the only one who has the most fun......
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's not early today, and we will ......talk about it tomorrow if we don't finish talking."
Then Li Qinzai paused, and then said: "But tomorrow we better have a good chat, don't bring some trivial things to the table, the price is not decent!" ”
"My mother-in-law still has a big belly, this is the case, I am in a hurry to rush back to Chang'an, if you delay my mother-in-law to give birth to a baby, I may be mad." Li Qinzai's smile was already a little cold.
King Teng, who was also a little impatient on the side, nodded when he heard this: "That's right, this king is not polite!" ”
The crowd looked at him in bewilderment.
King Teng pointed at Li Qinzai and said, "This king is not talented, his mother-in-law with a big belly happens to be the daughter of this king." ”
So everyone was hypocritical and unwilling, and said hello to King Teng.
King Teng laughed and returned the salute: "Tongxi ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai quickly covered the old father-in-law's mouth, stared at him and said slowly: "Father-in-law is cautious, I can't be happy with this matter, I did it alone, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”
