Chapter 656: Half-truths
It's just that in this way, it will be a little dangerous, Li Lizhen is already full of resentment towards the prince at this time, and it is natural to think on the side of his father.
"Although I hope that the prince's brother can wake up from the precipice, my father should also make some preparations."
Li Lizhi pondered, and Li Yong smiled.
"Don't worry! In fact, the sage had already noticed that in the year when the sage went on the expedition, the prince recruited many private soldiers, although he did it secretly, he couldn't hide it from the sage, and the sage also had a premonition, so he used the king of Wei to beat the prince. ”
Li Lizhi listened to it and then understood why his father did not reward the prince after returning to the dynasty, not as the courtiers thought, but there was another hidden secret, Li Yong continued.
"Therefore, the saint must have been well prepared, the prince wants to emulate the changes in the Xuanwu Gate, but he doesn't want to think about it, compared with the saints of the past, he is still a few Li Jiancheng!"
Li Lizhi couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.
"Lang Jun is talking nonsense again, Lang Jun doesn't know how dangerous it was back then."
Li Yong pinched her little nose and said with a smile.
"You were still in your infancy, what else can you know that is dangerous and not dangerous?"
Li Li said angrily.
"I have heard the queen mother say in detail, when the queen mother went into battle with her father, she was also born after death, but I don't want to say what the world says today, but my father Wen Taowu is slightly comparable to the Qin Emperor Han Wu, and Lang Jun is a capable minister who governs the world, since my father and Lang Jun feel that it is okay, then I am also worried in vain, in fact, I just felt a little frightened when I heard the firearms, but the firearms battalion is still on the way back to the division!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Although the firearms battalion is still on the way, I can still gather more than a thousand musketeers, which is enough to deal with it, the saint gave me a secret decree to be on call at any time, not to mention that the Xishan battalion is in the dark, it will be fine."
Li Lizhi was finally relieved when she heard this, and she snuggled up to Li Yong's side and instructed.
"Then Lang Jun should be vigilant, and you must pay attention to protecting yourself."
Li Yong was also very pleased that Changle could talk about this, and said with a smile.
"You, just put your heart in your stomach, even the saint in your heart, the only thing the saint is worried about is that the queen mother is too sad to see the prince rebelling."
Li Lizhi couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said worriedly.
"Yes! If the queen mother suddenly knew that the prince's brother was rebelling, she didn't know how sad and sad she would be, the queen mother's health has always been bad, if she fell ill because of this, what should she do? ”
Li Yong nodded.
"The saint is also worried, so I came up with an idea to let you accompany the queen mother to Lishan for a few days."
Li Lizhi shook her head slightly after hearing this.
"My father has just returned to the palace, how can my mother agree to go to Lishan to live? I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"So if you want to find a suitable reason, let's just say that Sun Daochang said that you need to go to Lishan Hot Spring to recuperate, and let Yuan Tiangang find an excuse, saying that you need the queen mother to accompany you to benefit the heirs or something, and the queen mother has always been anxious for you, so she will definitely go happily."
Li Lizhi couldn't help but pout when she heard this, and said angrily.
"You also know that the queen mother is in a hurry, right? Then you are deliberately contraceptive! ”
The corners of Li Yong's mouth twitched and he hurriedly said.
"Don't talk about this today, this is talking about a big thing, why are you involved in this again?"
Li Li said with a smile.
"Okay, even Daochang Sun and Daochang Yuan have moved out, and the queen mother will definitely agree to accompany me to live in Lishan."
Li Yong nodded.
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll go to Yuan Tiangang tomorrow and ask him to think of a statement, and besides, the queen mother is already smart and has experienced so much, you can be careful, don't show anything in front of her."
Li Lizhi also felt a little pressured, but still nodded.
"Don't worry, Lang Jun, I'll save it."
It was already dark, but the emperor was not in the palace, Empress Changsun had some shouts in her heart, only knowing that Li Yong had entered the palace, and then the saint went out of the palace with Li Yong, obviously there was an emergency, which made Empress Changsun a little worried, Li Er entered the hall wrapped in wine, and Empress Changsun hurriedly greeted her and said angrily.
"The emotional saint just went to drink with Li Yong? Why didn't the saint bring his concubine, and the concubine also went to taste the son-in-law's wine! ”
Li Er explained with a smile.
"I didn't make a special trip to drink, but there was also something important, there was an explosion in the firearms supervisor last year, and after Li Yong came back, he found out that there was another hidden situation, and some people in the firearms supervisor ate inside and out, not only reselling gunpowder, but also getting out the drawings of muskets and artillery."
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but gasp when she heard this.
"Who is so bold? Firearms are the most important weapons of the country, what if they fall into the hands of the country? ”
Li Er nodded.
"This matter is indeed a bit serious, Li Yong is also very frightened, I haven't seen Li Yong so panicked in the past few years!"
No wonder the emperor immediately went to the firearms prison with Li Yong, it turned out that because the firearms were leaked, Empress Changsun hurriedly said.
"Speaking of which, Li Yong can't be blamed for this, he went on the expedition with the driver last year, and the whip is beyond his reach!"
Li Er hugged the queen and said with relief.
"The queen can rest assured, a certain is not so confused, this matter is indeed no wonder Li Yong, so a certain person specially stayed in Lijiazhuang to accompany him to drink a few glasses, and calmed his heart."
Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"Li Yong too, he is dedicated to the country and has made many meritorious deeds, not to mention that he is not in Chang'an, even if he is negligent in Chang'an, the saint will reprimand him two sentences to make him vigilant, will he really be punished?"
Li Er nodded.
"I didn't reprimand him, and I accompanied him to drink and comfort him, but this is not a trivial matter, fortunately, the firearm drawings that have been scattered are all backward test samples at the beginning, and someone has been strictly investigated, no matter who handles the firearms drawings, they will be killed, and the drawings must be recovered."
The two are very familiar with each other day and night, Empress Changsun can feel that the emperor's mood is very low and angry, and she can also understand, after all, the power of firearms is so great, if it falls into the hands of Yiguo, it will also be a threat to the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun held the emperor's hand and comforted.
"The saint doesn't have to worry too much, he will definitely be able to recover the firearm drawings, even if he can't recover them, Li Yong will definitely be able to make more powerful firearms."
Li Er said with a smile.
"I know that this matter is not suitable for publicity, it is best to investigate it secretly, and find out first before talking about it, so the queen should not mention this matter to others for the time being."
Empress Changsun nodded happily when she heard this, if this matter was spread, Li Yong's face would be gloomy, although he was not in Chang'an at the beginning, but after all, he was in charge of the firearms prison, and he was not aware of anyone, seeing that the queen did not suspect him, Li Er was also relieved, he knew that his emotions were difficult to hide from the queen, so he directly said it half-truthfully. Since the emperor returned to Chang'an, Hou Sailei has been very concerned about the firearms supervisor, because Li Yong also returned to Chang'an, although he thinks that everything is arranged without leakage, no one can detect anything, after all, it is Li Yong who controls the firearms supervisor, in the face of Li Yong, no one can relax their vigilance, because Li Yong has already become an important minister in the court that cannot be ignored, at the beginning, Hou Sailei also thought about killing Song Dejin, but then he was still not reluctant, first, it is not easy to win over a firearms supervisor, Although Song Dejin is a small supervisor, it can also play a big role, maybe it can be used later, and secondly, it is easy to extinguish Song Dejin. After all, those things happened last year, when Li Yong was on the way to the expedition, can he still predict whether he will be able to predict it? In his mind, after Li Yong came back, as long as he reduced his dealings with Song Dejin, it would be impossible for Li Yong to discover their conspiracy, and then he suddenly discovered that Song Dejin was missing, and he couldn't see anyone dead or dead, not only that, before Song Dejin disappeared, Li Yong also made a special trip to the palace, and then the emperor took the guards to the firearms prison, all of which were strung together, making Hou Sailei frightened, could it be that Li Yong had discovered their conspiracy? Even the emperor knows? The frightened Hou Sailei went straight to the East Palace, and Li Chengqian was equally shocked when he heard it.
"What? You say Song Dekin is missing? How did he go missing? ”
Hussere hurriedly said.
"Not only that, Li Yong also made a special trip to the palace."
Li Chengqian's face changed several times, and he groaned.
"What's so strange about Li Yong entering the palace?"
Hussere said repeatedly.
"After Li Yong entered the palace, the sage followed Li Yong to the firearms prison!"
Li Yong went to the palace, and then his father and Li Yong went to the firearms prison together, and then Song Dejin disappeared, these things were connected, Li Chengqian couldn't help but gasp, and Li Chengqian said urgently.
"Isn't it Song Dejin who has been exposed? Didn't you say that Li Yong couldn't detect it? ”
Hussere smiled bitterly.
"The movement of Chen and Song Dejin is last year, and it is very secretive, since Li Yong came back, Chen has not met Song Dejin again, how can Li Yong find out? The minister didn't know what was wrong. ”
Li Chengqian knew all this, and he didn't think that Li Yong would notice it at the beginning, after all, Li Yong couldn't really pinch it, Li Chengqian's face was pale, and he said hatefully.
"Song Dejin should have been wiped out at the beginning, and he wouldn't have today's worries."
Hou Sailei only smiled bitterly when he heard it, if Song Dejin was killed, he might be exposed faster, Li Chengqian paced a little anxiously, and asked with the last trace of luck in his heart.
"Do you think it could be that Song Dejin committed something else or offended Li Yong?"
Hussere smiled bitterly.
"Song Dejin is just a small prisoner, what can he do to alarm the saint? Even let the saint himself go to the firearms prison? ”
Li Chengqian groaned.
"Perhaps, Song Dejin is greedy for money, maybe he was detained because of corruption, his father went to the firearms prison, maybe because of the progress made in the development of firearms, Li Yong is the most welcome, and he must go to the palace to ask his father to check it out as soon as possible."
Hou Sailei couldn't help nodding when he heard this, but it was not impossible, at this time, a little eunuch walked in, Li Chengqian glanced at it, and said very unhappily.
"Didn't you see that the palace is discussing something important with Hussere?"
The little eunuch was startled and hurriedly said.
"Didn't His Highness tell the slaves and maids to report any movement in the palace immediately?"
Li Chengqian asked anxiously after hearing this.
"What's going on in the palace?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said.
"The queen is leaving the palace and heading to the Lishan Palace."
Li Chengqian asked with concern.
"Where's my father? Did the father accompany the queen mother to the Lishan Palace? ”
Hou Sailei couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, if the emperor and empress still had the leisure to go to Lishan Palace to play, it means that their plot was not leaked, which is a good thing! Moreover, if the emperor went to the Lishan Palace, it would be more beneficial to them, after all, Lishan was just a palace, not as impregnable as the palace, the little eunuch hurriedly said.
"I only saw the queen's phoenix drive, but I didn't see the saint's royal drive, I heard that only Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, His Royal Highness King Jin, and Princess Jinyang accompanied the queen to Lishan Palace."
Li Chengqian asked with a look of surprise when he heard this.
"Not long after my father returned to Chang'an, why did the queen mother suddenly go to Lishan Palace?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said.
"I heard that Li Lizhen entered the palace and pestered the queen to go to Lishan Palace to recuperate, saying that Sun Daochang said that Li Lizhen needed to go to Lishan to recuperate, and Yuan Daochang said that the queen mother would accompany him to have an heir, and the queen mother readily agreed, and the saint also said yes."
The more he listened, the more ugly Li Chengqian's face became, because he smelled the smell of conspiracy in it, Sun Simiao has been living in Lijiazhuang, and it's not what Li Yong says? Yuan Tiangang needless to say, what is said everywhere Li Yong is his junior brother, I wish Li Yong had a request for him, so Li Chengqian felt that this was a conspiracy planned by Li Yong, using Changle to deliberately transfer the queen mother away from Chang'an, and even this is very likely that the father acquiesced to Li Yong's doing, so why did Li Yong go to great lengths to let the queen mother leave Chang'an? My father has just returned to Chang'an, how can he be reluctant to let his mother leave the Lishan Palace in Chang'an District? The string of several previous events made him wonder if his father and Li Yong had discovered his intention to rebel, and now with this incident, this made him even more certain, the reason why his father and Li Yong took great pains to transfer their mother and left Chang'an was because they were aware of his intention to rebel, and they wanted to take action and were afraid that their mother would make it clear for him, this was to kill him! Li Chengqian waved his hand and pondered.
"This palace knows, let's go down first!"
The little eunuch bowed and withdrew from the main hall, and Hussere immediately said urgently.
"Your Highness, looking at this situation, it is very likely that the saint and Li Yong are really aware of our plan."
Li Chengqian said quietly.
"Of course, otherwise how could Li Yong go to great lengths to invite his mother to leave Chang'an? My father had just returned to Chang'an, so how could he be willing to let his mother leave Chang'an? This is not only aware of our plan, this is clearly not wanting the queen mother to intercede for the palace, this is clearly wanting the palace to die! The situation is critical, it has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, and now His Highness has only two choices, either go to the palace immediately to confess everything to the saint and kowtow and admit his mistakes! As the saying goes, the tiger poison does not eat the child, and the saint will definitely forgive His Highness, but His Royal Highness, the crown prince, will definitely be abolished, and may even leave Chang'an and live a life of being monitored. ”
Hussere muttered.
