Chapter 655: Wait
Knowing that the prince wanted to rebel, Li Er just wanted to drink sadly, but he didn't reveal what he was going to do, so should he arrest Hou Selei for interrogation or directly question the prince? Li Yong groaned.
"Sage, the sudden disappearance of Song Degang is likely to arouse the alarm of Hou Selei, and if the prince really has the intention of rebellion, it may be launched in advance."
Li Er said in a deep voice.
"So-and-so waits, so-and-so still doesn't want to believe that the prince will rebel, maybe he was just temporarily bewitched by others, Song Degang's disappearance may make him wake up!"
Li Yong couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, to this point, Li Er still wanted to give Li Chengqian a chance to rein in the precipice, this is really a loving father's heart, in fact, Li Yong also understands Li Er's psychology, in history, it is because of the change in Xuanwumen that Li Er made a very bad start, which caused the descendants of the Tang Dynasty to learn from him and rebel at every turn, so he wanted to pass the throne to Li Chengqian smoothly, and it can be regarded as setting a good example for future generations, so Li Er can be regarded as well-intentioned, but unfortunately, Li Chengqian is extreme, I don't know such good intentions at all, in this matter, Li Er is more like a father than an emperor, until the last moment, he still doesn't want to believe it, and he doesn't want to accept it, it should be said that Li Er's tutoring problem, it's just that Li Yong didn't dare to say it, Li Yong nodded slightly.
"That's right, I hope he can stop the precipice and wake up! However, the saint cannot be left unguarded. ”
Li Er shook his head and said.
"Even if the prince rebels, he can't make any waves!"
Li Yong groaned.
"Hou Junji and the prince are quite close, maybe ......"
Hearing these three words Hou Junji, Li Er's eyes couldn't help but stare again, just now he had been sad because of his son's matter, but he didn't expect Hou Junji, of course he knew that Hou Junji and the prince were close, he didn't care about this, and even felt relieved, Hou Junji was snubbed because he was taught a lesson, if he was grateful because of the prince's knowledge, in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and Hou Junji's support will be smoother and more stable, and now he thinks that the prince is going to rebel, then Hou Junji is likely to be involved. And it is likely that Hou Junji instigated the prince to rebel, thinking of this, Li Er's heart was even more colic, because Hou Junji was his confidant and favorite general, and he was the first to follow him, so as the emperor, in order to cultivate Hou Junji, he even did not hesitate to let Li Jing teach Hou Junji the art of war regardless of the identity of the emperor, although Hou Junji made a mistake and was deposed, but he didn't want to completely knock Hou Junji into the dust, and he would reuse Hou Junji in the future, he also knew that Hou Junji actually had some inferiority complex in his heart, wanted to prove himself, and wanted to be rich and noble. So he also understands the approach of Hou Junji and the prince, because he believes in Hou Junji's loyalty, but he didn't expect that Hou Junji would rebel, one is his confidant and favorite general, and the other is his most important son, Li Er felt like two knives pierced in his heart, Li Er took a sip of wine, put down the wine bowl and said in a deep voice.
"Hou Junji can't make any waves!"
This Li Yong believes that although Hou Junji has repeatedly made great contributions in recent years, it is because the emperor praises him, and it is really far worse than Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others! He just gave Li Er a wake-up call, afraid that Li Erwan would forget Hou Junji, Li Er is so confident, of course, he has the strength to be confident, if he can't even control the palace ban, then how can he still have the face to plot Goguryeo? Where is the face to covet the Western Regions? Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but pause, because he suddenly thought of firearms, because firearms were beyond his expectations, if there were no firearms, then he could be sure that no one would be able to make waves, but if the prince and Hou Junji had firearms, it would make him a little worried, Li Er groaned.
"Li Yong, how many muskets and artillery can you think Hussere can make? I'm a little worried about the artillery, the power of the cannon is too strong! ”
The power of artillery is so strong, Li Er saw it with his own eyes when he was on the Eastern Crusade, if more than a dozen or even dozens of artillery pieces were fired at the Ganlu Palace, he would not be able to withstand it even if he was a real dragon! Li Yong groaned.
"Chen thinks, the last thing to worry about is artillery, first, it is not easy to make artillery, muskets they can still test, but artillery, they can't test it near Chang'an, because the movement is too big, second, even if they succeed in building artillery, the number can't be too much, otherwise it can't be transported to the city, and third, it is impossible for artillery to hit the palace."
Li Er groaned.
"Are you sure the artillery can't be in the palace?"
Li Yong nodded with certainty.
"The minister is sure, because of the problem of elevation angle, the elevation angle is high, the elevation angle is too far, the elevation angle is low, there are too many cities in the city, and they were stopped by the city before they hit the palace, and if they bombard outside the city, they will not be accurate, not to mention, and they will not have such a long range."
Li Yong said while gesturing, Li Er also understood artillery after the Eastern Crusade, so he immediately understood, what Li Yong said was indeed reasonable, artillery did not threaten him, which made Li Er feel at ease, as for the musket, it should not be possible for Hou Sailei to make tens of thousands of muskets, right?
"The musketeers of the Shenji Battalion haven't returned yet!"
Li Er groaned, and Li Yong listened to it.
"Although the musketeers have not yet returned, the cavalry battalion has returned, and many of the soldiers are also proficient in firearms, and the soldiers of the firearms supervisor are also proficient in firearms, and the firearms supervisor also has a stock of muskets, so it is no problem to pull out a thousand people!"
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion have been fighting in the Shenji camp all day long, and many soldiers are naturally very interested in magical muskets and artillery, so the muskets are playing thieves, not to mention the soldiers who are guarding the firearms, just testing the guns is enough for them to practice guns, Li Er nodded.
"More than a thousand musketeers, enough, you gather all the people and stand by at any time! A certain will leave you a secret edict to protect the palace forbidden, even at night, you can bring troops into the city! ”
Li Yong arched his hand.
"Minister, obey!"
Li Er waved his hand and sighed.
"So-and-so, I really don't want that day! If, there really is such a day, the most worried is the queen! ”
The eldest grandson queen? Li Yong couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, could it be that Li Er even doubted the eldest grandson? But then again, if Empress Changsun really supports the prince's mutiny, it is indeed a very big threat, although Empress Changsun is graceful and gentle on weekdays, but she is very majestic, no one knows how much energy Empress Changsun can burst out, but, how can Empress Changsun support the prince's rebellion? Li Yong hurriedly asked.
"Could it be that the saint suspects that the queen mother is also ......?"
Li Er listened and looked at Li Yong with a look of disdain.
"Who said that a certain suspect the queen? No one will doubt the queen, because the most trusted person is the queen! What I'm worried about is that the queen will not be able to stand the blow when she suddenly hears the news, how sad she should be! Gao Ming, even if you don't want to think about me, the emperor, why don't you want to think about the queen mother who has always loved him! ”
It turned out that Li Er didn't suspect the Empress of the Eldest Sun, Li Yong was relieved when he heard it, if Li Er even doubted the Empress of the Eldest Sun, it would be too disappointing, after all, in Li Yong's opinion, Li Er and Empress Changsun were the most loving pair of these emperors and queens in ancient times, if even Li Er and Empress Changsun were full of suspicion, then Li Er was really tired, however, Li Er's worries also made sense, Li Chengqian rebelled, and it was the Empress Eldest Sun who made Li Yong feel distressed the most, Li Yong groaned.
"It's better to branch the queen mother for the time being, and then tell the queen mother slowly after Chang'an is stable."
Li Er couldn't help but be very moved when he heard this, and nodded.
"What you said is also reasonable, you can't let the queen face the rebellion, it's just that the queen has always been smart, and it's not so easy to get rid of the queen quietly."
Li Yong thought for a while and groaned.
"It's not that there is no way, you can let Changle accompany the queen to Lishan Palace to recuperate, Changle has always wanted children, so he said that Sun Daochang said that Changle needs to go to Lishan to cultivate his body, and then let Yuan Tiangang's god stick say a few words about needing nobles to accompany him or something."
Li Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, this method is really reliable, Changle has never been pregnant, and the queen is also very anxious, if Yuan Tiangang is allowed to say, saying that Changle needs the queen to accompany him to Lishan to recuperate or something, the queen must be happy to accompany Changle to Lishan to recuperate, Li Er nodded.
"Your method is good, for the time being, let the queen leave the palace and go to Lishan to stay for a few days."
Li Yong nodded.
"Since the saint also thinks so, the minister went to Yuan Daochang and said."
Yuan Tiangang may not give other people's face, but Yuan Tiangang will definitely give Li Yong's face, after all, Yuan Tiangang has always wanted to pull Li Yong into the Taoist camp.
"It's good!"
Li Er couldn't help but nod when he heard this, it was better not to have him come forward, and he didn't have to worry about the queen being suspicious, Li Er suddenly asked sideways.
"Speaking of which, it's been two or three years since Changle got married, why haven't you been pregnant yet?"
Li Yong almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, he didn't expect that Li Er, a generation of wise and martial artists, would also care about this, and he didn't expect Li Er to ask out of his mouth, Li Yong really wanted to ask Li Er, why are you embarrassed to ask? And I can't catch your jumping thinking! Li Yong asked suspiciously.
"How long did it take for the queen mother and the saint to marry and give birth to the crown prince?"
"That's because I've been fighting outside!"
Li Er didn't have a good air, thinking about the eldest grandson queen marrying Li Er at the age of thirteen, Li Yong really wanted to scold Li Er for a beast, but when he thought of Wu Jue, Li Yong felt that he didn't seem to have a position to scold Li Er's beast, after listening to Li Yong's words, Li Er's heart was flooded with memories, he and the queen were married for five years before giving birth to Gao Ming, at that time, what a joy he and the queen were! How happy it was at that time, how sad it was at this time, Li Er sighed, picked up the wine and took a big sip of wine, Li Yong persuaded.
"Don't drink too much, saints, otherwise if you drink too much, you will be in trouble if you accidentally show your mouth when you go back!"
Although he poured a lot of wine, Li Er's face was still very clear, and he nodded.
"If you don't drink it, you will go back to the palace, so you don't need to ask Changle to send it off."
"Gather the musketeers and wait for the secret decree of so-and-so! I still hope you don't receive the secret decree. ”
After saying that, Li Er got up and strode out of the hall, Li Yong kept watching Li Er leave with the guards before returning, Li Lizhi took the maids to carry the food box and fished in, but found that the cups and plates in the hall were already empty, Li Yong happened to walk in and said with a smile.
"The saint has returned to the palace."
"I've prepared so many dishes, and I'll go back to the palace before I eat them."
Li Lizhi muttered, in fact, she also understood her father's mood, but she was just borrowing wine to kill her sorrows, how could she really enjoy the food, the two went back to the Xishan Courtyard together, and said nothing all the way, until they returned to the Xishan Courtyard and entered the upper room, Li Lizhi waved her hand to let the maids retreat, and asked urgently.
"What did Lang Jun find?"
Since he didn't hide it from Li Liqing at the beginning, it was even more impossible for Li Yong to hide it from her at this time, and nodded.
"Yes, I found out, it was a firearms supervisor named Song Degang who returned to the prince, Chen Shan found out that he had secret dealings with Hou Selei, so I went straight to the firearms supervisor and arrested him, and then went straight to the palace to report to the saint, I originally thought that the saint would take people away, and it was none of my business, but I didn't expect the saint to come directly to the firearms supervisor with the guards."
Since Hou Selei was involved, the prince's rebellion seemed to be undoubted, and Li Li sighed.
"That guy was recruited?"
Li Yong nodded.
"Well, in fact, he doesn't know much, Hussere first wooed him, and then forced him to get gunpowder and firearms."
Li Lizhen was stunned when she heard this.
"And firearms?"
Nowadays, the power of firearms, the entire Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know who doesn't know? Especially artillery, even the city wall can be blasted, not to mention the palace, Li Yong said with relief.
"Song Degang was able to get gunpowder out of the loophole, it was already a fluke, the control of firearms is more strict, he can't get it, he only got the original firearm drawings and gave them to Hou Selei, don't worry, even if the prince has the drawings, he may not be able to make firearms, even if he can make them, there will not be a lot, and the power is not very good, and he can't make any waves."
Since it was discovered in advance, the rebellion could not be made, Li Lizhi muttered.
"Hussere is a close confidant of the crown prince, since Hussere is involved, as long as Hussere is arrested for the first trial."
Li Yong shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"The saint doesn't want to be judged."
Li Lizhi was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Huh? What is the father going to do? ”
"Wait!"
Li Yong slowly spit out a word, and Li Lizhi was a little puzzled.
"Wait?"
Li Yong nodded.
"Yes, wait, although the sage knew that the prince intended to rebel, it was still difficult to accept it in his heart, so the sage planned to wait, wanting to wait for the prince to wake up and rein in the precipice."
Li Lizhen's eyes were red when she heard this, her father knew that the prince's brother was going to rebel, but he didn't want to pursue it, and he thought that the prince's brother could wake up from the precipice, which shows how kind his father is to their children, but the prince's brother wants to rebel, it's really infuriating!
