Chapter Thirty-Six: Convening the Centaur (3K Chapter Seeking Reading)
"Uncle! You make it clear! What do you mean that my father has died?! β
Li Chengqian grabbed the arm of the eldest grandson Wuji, his eyes widened, and he asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" Didn't Father Emperor ascend to the sky well before and accept the auspicious rui descended by the dragon? He, how can he ......"
After speaking, Li Chengqian turned his head sharply and roared loudly at the monks who were silently chanting on the side: "Shut up in the palace!" It's noisy!! Get lost!! β
The monks who were originally chanting sutras to Master Chen saw Li Chengqian's appearance of wanting to eat people, and they all got up from the futon tremblingly, and escaped from the temple in a puff of smoke, and even didn't bother to bring many altar-opening weapons that they had brought with them.
"Why His Majesty died suddenly, I don't know the specific reason."
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "I only learned about this matter after I was summoned into the palace by King Wei. β
"Why did King Wei find out so quickly?!"
Li Chengqian's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Also, why is he alone in the Manna Hall now?" There must be some ulterior secret to be so secretive! Could it be that the father was given ...... by him?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cautious!"
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly interrupted Li Chengqian's words and said: "King Wei can know so quickly, I think someone in the palace should have reported to him as soon as possible, as for covering up, King Wei just asked the old ministers to appease the ministers, for the harem concubines, and the prince, he has no intention of concealing it!" β
"Uncle, even you are towards him."
Li Chengqian said dissatisfiedly: "Someone is coming! The main palace is going to go to the Ganlu Hall now to see what happened to Li Tai to his father!! β
"Good! The old minister happened to go back to have a look, and he happened to be walking with His Royal Highness the Prince. β
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly nodded happily.
But at this moment, Yuan Tiangang in the shadows suddenly said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister still has secrets to report to you, you better let the eldest grandson take the first step." β
"This ......"
Li Chengqian hesitated.
Although he has been angry with Tang Taizong, and hates that Tang Taizong favors Li Tai and treats him harshly, he still has a respect for his father and Li Chengqian's heart.
At this moment, when he heard that Tang Taizong had an accident, he had no intention of caring about him, and only wanted to hurry to the Ganlu Hall to see what was going on.
But Chen Ji on the side also gently tugged Li Chengqian's sleeve and secretly glanced at him.
"Uncle, you should go to the Ganlu Hall and wait for the palace first, so that you can see what King Wei is doing alone."
The prince pursed his lips, out of his doting and trust in Chen Ji, as well as his preference for Yuan Tiangang, who had just defected to his command, he finally chose not to go with the eldest grandson Wuji.
"This ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, but when he saw that Li Chengqian had turned his head, he obviously didn't want to hear more from him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to flick his sleeve robe and walk out of the hall with his head shaken.
"Okay, Mr. Yuan, if you have any business, let's make a long story short."
Li Chengqian looked at Yuan Tiangang, who was slowly coming out of the shadows, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"Your Highness is in such a hurry to go over at this moment, aren't you afraid of sheep falling into the tiger's mouth?"
Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Chengqian calmly, and asked lightly: "You are so confident, Eldest Sun Wuji came to tell you the news at this moment, didn't King Wei instruct him to do this deliberately?" β
"What do you mean?"
Li Chengqian's face changed suddenly, and he said, "You mean that my uncle will help King Wei to harm me?!" β
"Why not?"
Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth lightly and asked: "Your Highness, just imagine, since Your Majesty has died in such a big matter, since King Wei knew about it one step in advance, entered the palace first, and dispersed everyone, and was alone with His Majesty's body in the Ganlu Hall for so long, what do you think he did this for?" β
"He, he ......"
Li Chengqian hesitated: "He wants to show that he is the most filial to his father, and then let the courtiers favor him?" β
"My prince! Why are you so naΓ―ve? β
Chen Ji on the side patted his thigh and said urgently: "Most of the courtiers are now biased towards King Wei, but Your Majesty has not issued an order, even if he King Wei wins the hearts of the people, he will not be able to replace the position of your crown prince, filial piety?" That's his duty as a prince! He stayed alone by His Majesty's side, and what he wanted was definitely more than that! β
"Has Your Highness ever thought that this morning, in the Ganlu Palace, where Your Majesty usually reads and governs, will the King of Wei have enough time to forge a fake edict?"
Yuan Tiangang said faintly: "If you go to the Ganlu Hall rashly at this time, if you are captured by the King of Wei at that time, and then he takes the forged edict and says that His Majesty has decreed the abolition of you before he breathes, and chooses to pass it on to him, do you think you will have a chance to turn the tables at that time?" β
"yes!"
Chen Ji on the side also immediately said, "Your Highness! You're just so simple and kind! But this matter involves the battle for the throne, and it is indispensable to guard against people! β
"Do you think, this King of Wei has coveted the throne for a long time, and now that the first emperor has died, will he be willing to let you ascend the throne smoothly? In this way, isn't it suspicious that Prime Minister Changsun came to invite you into the palace just now? If you really go with him, we'll be passive! β
Chen Ji continued: "But if you are outside, it will be different, you can use the crime of disloyalty and unfilial piety of the King of Wei to occupy the body of the first emperor to gather people and horses, and send troops to the side of the Qing monarch in the name of the orthodox prince, and then accumulate enough strength to force the palace, then you will win?" β
"King Wei hurriedly entered the palace, and he didn't dare to act rashly in the Ganlu Palace, so the people he can mobilize now must be extremely limited, and after this commander comes out, he can not only extract the bad people in the palace now, but also use the bad people outside the palace to block the news, so that King Wei will not have the opportunity to ask for help."
Yuan Tiangang said coldly: "At that time, the isolated King of Wei, he locked himself and the body of the first emperor in the Manna Hall and planned it, then it would become a cocoon and self-restraint!" β
"When the time comes, when Your Highness leads your troops to capture the Ganlu Hall and capture or kill the King of Wei, then even if he has ten fake edicts in his hand, won't they all become useless waste paper?"
Chen Ji said excitedly to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness! The day of your enthronement has come! From now on, you will no longer be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the real Son of Heaven! It's His Majesty the Emperor!! β
"Enthronement? Emperor? β
Li Chengqian's breathing was slightly short, and under Chen Ji's bewitchment, his eyes gradually became hot, and his tone gradually muttered excitedly: "Bengong, is Bengong finally going to ascend the throne?" β
Yuan Tiangang glanced at Chen Ji silently on the side, and said secretly in his heart: "This little servant, this time he helped His Royal Highness King Wei to promote the plan, well, when the liquidation is in the future, you can torture him for a quarter of an hour." β
"That's right! Congratulations to Your Majesty in advance! β
Chen Ji bowed directly to Li Chengqian and said, "As long as we hurry up and prepare, we will be able to make thorough preparations in less than a day!" β
"Good, good!"
Li Chengqian nodded excitedly, and muttered in the direction of the Ganlu Palace: "Father, when the sons are ready, they will go into the Ganlu Hall to save you, and when the time comes, the sons of King Wei will definitely teach him a hard lesson for you!" β
"Your Highness, you have to let people surround the Wei Palace."
Chen Ji got up from the ground, smiled gloomily, and said, "A rare beauty like Princess Wei, it would be a pity if she was allowed to run away." β
Looking at Chen Ji, Yuan Tiangang on the side clenched his fists, and said again in his heart: "Forget it, Ben Shuai retracts the decision just now, and when he concocts him in the future, he will add another set of torture." β
"In that case, let's take action!"
Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Yuan, you immediately go and gather all the bad people in Chang'an, all the inside and outside the palace are transferred out, and let them closely monitor the Wei Wangfu and those cronies in the Wei Wangfu and the Wei Wang's daily life, especially the young generals like Xue Rengui in the army, you must cut off their contact, understand?" β
"Obey."
Yuan Tiangang clenched his fists to receive the order, and then his figure flashed, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared into the palace of the East Palace again.
"Chen Ji, let people prepare the post."
Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Chen Ji beside him.
"Good!"
Chen Ji nodded, and then said with some concern: "But this matter is very important, non-confidants cannot participate, His Royal Highness has been negligent in the court for many years, who are you going to find in this matter......
"Hahaha! You don't understand this, do you? β
After Li Chengqian heard this, he laughed confidently and spoke.
"Although the palace has been silent in the court for many years, it is not without like-minded friends, you go and send the post to the emperor's uncle Han Wang, he has a good relationship with the palace, and he will definitely support me to ascend the throne!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian muttered: "In addition to the friends of the palace, there are also Li Tai's enemies, hum, Hou Junji, the general of Jiaohe Road, who led his troops to destroy Gaochang and secretly hid the spoils of war, was severely punished by the King of Wei, his son-in-law served in the East Palace, and once told the palace that Hou Junji has always hated the King of Wei, if he knew about this matter, for his own revenge and the future of his son-in-law, he would also participate." β
"Your Highness Shengming!!"
After Chen Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
King Han is the seventh son of Li Yuan, and because of the love of Emperor Li Yuan, he has never gone to the fiefdom, but stayed in Kyoto.
He has always been a gentleman, he does not like the court and yearns for the rivers and lakes, and his subordinates have cultivated a large number of people, often letting them pretend to be the forces of the rivers and lakes to fight each other, and he himself has joined them, and has lived a life in the palace The addiction of the martial arts alliance leader.
Now at this critical moment, those doormen are also a great force.
Not to mention General Hou Junji, he ranked seventeenth among the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion, and he even had a brave record of leading the troops to destroy the Gaochang country!
If there is their full support, a sudden mutiny is launched, and the isolated Wei King Li Tai is captured.
In the lively city of Chang'an, everything seems to be the same.
But in the deep palace, everything has become different from yesterday.
And just when this undercurrent was surging, in addition to the eldest grandson Wuji, another person slowly came to the outside of the Manna Hall with the gate closed.
"Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, ask to see Your Majesty!"
