Chapter 657: The Road Ahead
In fact, even if Hou Sailei didn't remind him, Li Chengqian also understood what the fate of the conspiracy was exposed, in fact, he felt that Hu Sailei was still thinking too lightly, if it was just to depose him from Chang'an, there would be no need to go to great lengths to separate his mother, he felt that his father and Li Yong took great pains to separate his mother, just to execute him, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
"This palace is either the crown prince, or ascends the throne as the emperor, or dies, and will never be a waster!"
"Then there is only a second way, mutiny!"
Hou Sailei listened excitedly and said, if the prince chooses the first path and enters the palace to cry to the emperor and ask for forgiveness, the emperor may let the prince go and demote the prince from Chang'an, then the prince can also be an idle prince for the rest of his life, but those of them who follow the prince's rebellion will not have such a good end, they must all die, and none of them can live, so the prince has two ways to go, and they only have one way to go, and now he heard the prince say that he chose the second way to go, he was very excited, Because there is still hope to rise up, which is much better than sitting still, and they have been preparing for so long! Originally, their plan was to wait for the army to return to the division, and the emperor would launch a mutiny in one fell swoop when he set up a celebration banquet in the palace, and he would definitely succeed if he was caught off guard by the emperor and his ministers, but now they could only launch it in a hurry, but they had been preparing for a long time, and he felt that the probability of success should not be low, Hou Sailei said in a deep voice.
"What Your Highness said is that we have been preparing for this for more than a year, even if the saint knows about it? We've got firearms! And the Shenji Battalion is still on its way back to the division! ”
Li Chengqian paced the trail.
"You're right, this palace has been preparing for this for more than a year, and everything is already ready, only the east wind is owed, and now the east wind can't wait, so it can only be launched in advance."
Hussere muttered.
"Your Highness, since Li Yong has already confirmed it from Song Degang, then he has no reason not to know that it was me, but why didn't the sage let people come to arrest me? Why didn't anyone come to trial me? ”
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, yes! Why didn't he come to interrogate Hussere? Just interrogating Song Degang can only confirm that Hou Selei has a problem, but he can't be sure that he has a problem, because he is a dignified prince, and Song Degang is only a small supervisor, he has nothing to do with Song Degang, so just because Song Degang has not legally prescribed the major crime of rebellion against him, the prince, unless he is convicted through Hou Selei, so it stands to reason that his father should arrest Hu Selei and interrogate him strictly, but why is there no movement? Hussere muttered.
"I think! It must be that the saint and Li Yong are afraid, because they are not well prepared, because they have no chance of winning yet. ”
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded.
"Hussere, what you said is very reasonable, my father did not let people detain you for interrogation, he must be preparing, waiting, so we have a great chance of winning!"
Hussere nodded excitedly.
"Yes, Your Highness, I think so too."
Li Chengqian was also excited and said excitedly.
"So our sudden mutiny at this time is to catch them off guard, if we mutiny as soon as possible, the more beneficial it will be for us, because we have been preparing for more than a year, and we have already prepared for it!"
Hussere nodded excitedly.
"Yes, what Your Highness said is very true, Your Highness, it's time to make a decision!"
Li Chengqian stopped, Huo Ran turned around, and said in a deep voice.
"Go, find them all, let's discuss it together, and mutiny as soon as possible!"
Empress Changsun left Chang'an with the prince and princess, but Li Yong was busy, he picked out all the soldiers who knew how to musket in the cavalry camp, and then sent a team of cavalry up the mountain to replace the soldiers of the firearms supervisor, not only replaced, Li Yong also began to rectify them, although they are all proficient in firearms, and they are also familiar with the array of firearms, but after all, they have not been assembled together, Li Yong has just returned from the Shenji battalion, Li Jingheng, Zhang Zhilong and others are roaring.
"Li Yong, what have you been doing lately? Why can't you see people all day? ”
Li Jingheng said very strangely.
"I've been busy lately!"
Li Yong smiled, Zhang Zhilong scratched his head, and said with a look of surprise.
"I heard that you have been going to the barracks recently, not the musket battalion and the artillery battalion, what are you doing in the barracks? The cavalry battalion has just come back from a long journey, so you can't let people rest for a while? ”
"That's it, that's it, just rushed back, the celebration banquet hasn't been held yet, the rewards are still being handed out, and the people haven't stopped yet, so you continue to train the soldiers?"
Li Chongyi also felt strange, because Li Yong was not such a diligent person! Why are you suddenly diligent now? This is not right, this is very wrong, there must be something wrong Several people looked Li Yong up and down, their faces were full of exploration and curiosity, Li Yong said speechlessly.
"Why are you just looking at me like that? You're idle, aren't you? ”
Li Jingheng scratched his head and said.
"No, there must be something wrong, yes! The princess suddenly accompanied the queen to the Lishan Palace, but you ran to the barracks every day, according to my intuition, there must be something going on! ”
Fang Yiai nodded again and again.
"A few people are right, there must be a ghost here, Li Yong, you must have something to hide from us!"
Li Yong looked around and said in surprise.
"It's really a year since I've seen anything impressive! Can you even tell that something is wrong? ”
Zhang Zhilong shouted.
"Nonsense, are you stupid for us?"
Aren't you stupid? Li Yong patted Zhang Zhilong and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm a little busy, but for the time being, keep it secret, don't ask around!"
Sure enough, something happened! Li Jingheng listened and hurriedly said.
"What's the matter?"
Fang Yiai also hurriedly asked.
"yes, what's the matter? How can we help? ”
A few of them are in Chang'an City all day long, they are afraid that they will be idle all day long and have nothing to do, and they all know that what Li Yong does must be amazing, and they must be right to follow Li Yong.
"Okay, it's all a secret, so don't ask around!"
Li Yong smiled, and Li Chongyi nodded.
"Well, since you don't let us inquire, then we won't inquire, we will follow you, follow you all the time!"
Fang Yiai and Li Jingheng nodded again and again, what Li Chongyi said made sense, just do it, Li Yong said helplessly.
"Okay, let me tell you, I'm training, and while the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion haven't come back yet, I've pulled out more than a thousand musketeers, ready to do a big thing!"
Do a big thing? While the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion have not returned? Pulled out more than a thousand musketeers? Li Jingheng and Zhang Zhilong couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, what does this mean, it sounds a little scary! Li Yongmo didn't want to rebel, right? You can't watch Li Yong go astray and kill yourself! Li Jingheng took a step forward, pulled Li Yong, and whispered nervously.
"What do you want to do? You are crazy? You don't want to die? ”
Fang Yiai pulled Li Yong and said nervously.
"The saint is so kind to you, or your father-in-law, can't you think about it?"
Li Chongyi nodded like pounding garlic.
"That's it, that's it, that's it, if you don't look at other people's faces, you should also look at the princess's face."
Li Yong couldn't help but stroke his forehead when he heard this, these goods were pulling him and holding him, and he persuaded him bitterly, he thought he was going to rebel, but he would rebel if his head was caught by the door panel! However, Li Yong was also a little moved in his heart, this product did not turn around and run, which can be regarded as righteousness.
"What? Think I'm going to rebel? Do you think my head looks like it's been caught in the door panel? ”
Li Yong didn't have a good air, Li Jingheng, Fang Yiai and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it, and said with a smile.
"Scared us to death, I thought you couldn't open it!"
Zhang Zhilong scratched his head and said.
"And what the hell are you going to do?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Do you really want to know? But this matter is top secret, if you know, you can't leave, I will prepare armor and spears for you, you have to do it with me! ”
"What for?"
Fang Yiai said suspiciously, and Li Yong said mysteriously.
"Big things, of course!"
What is a big deal that can be considered a big deal by Li Yong? Li Jingheng's heart was like a cat's paw scratching, and he suddenly shouted: "No matter what it is, as long as it is not a rebellion, we will do it with you!" ”
"That's right, you don't want to sell it!"
"Say it!"
"As long as it's not a rebellion, we'll do it!"
Li Yong explained with a smile.
"Two days ago, I went to the firearms monitor and found that a batch of gunpowder had been stolen by someone across the world, and finally found out that Hussere was on his body, so I reported to the saint, and finally found out that the prince had the intention of rebellion."
It turned out to be a rebellion, but it was not Li Yong's rebellion, but the prince's rebellion! Although Li Jingheng and the others were shocked, they were not surprised.
"The prince has indeed been a little abnormal in the past two years, and there were rumors that the prince recruited private soldiers last year, but I didn't expect the prince to rebel!"
Li Jingheng said with emotion, and Fang Yiai said in a low voice.
"Now that the prince has found out that the prince intends to rebel, what are the saints waiting for?"
Li Jingheng and the others also looked at Li Yong with some doubts, they didn't understand, since they all knew that the prince was going to rebel, why not just arrest Hou Selei and the others, why wait for Li Yong to be so busy with military training? Li Yong sighed.
"The saint can't bear it! I still wanted the prince to come to his senses, but the sage still made some preparations, because the prince would probably have firearms, so I gathered more than a thousand musketeers on standby. ”
After speaking, Li Yong also took out the secret decree of Li Shimin's imperial pen, Li Jingheng and they all came up, this is indeed the emperor's secret decree, Li Yong must lead troops into the city to guard the palace ban, after the shock, Li Jingheng They felt heartfelt surprise, what a surprise, this is simply a credit at your fingertips! It's not that they look down on Li Chengqian, well, they just look down on Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian still wants to rebel? I don't want to think about how this Tang Dynasty came about! I don't want to think about how he came to be the crown prince! Li Chengqian's rebellion is simply self-defeating, this is simply a low-hanging fruit for them, not to mention themselves, they are also very sure that the old men in the family will properly stand on the emperor's side at any time, it is a fateful friendship tempered on the battlefield, Li Jingheng slapped Li Yong on the shoulder, and said excitedly.
"Wow, enough brother!"
"It's too much for a brother!"
Zhang Zhilong and the others were all excited, because they knew that this was the emperor's secret decree to Li Yong, and Li Yong should not tell them, but Li Yong still told them, and telling them meant taking risks, what if any of them leaked it? The reason why Li Yong told them a few was not to help them make a few meritorious contributions? How many of them don't know? Li Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, now that you know, you can't leave, stay here, I'll prepare armor spears for you, and follow me to do great things!"
Walk? Are you kidding? Now it's Li Yong's whip that drives them away, and they won't leave! Li Jingheng shouted.
"Don't worry, we're not ignorant, even if you drive us away, we won't leave!"
Zhang Zhilong nodded again and again.
"Even if you drive us away, you won't leave!"
Li Chongyi was even more simply, and directly summoned the entourage standing in the distance and ordered.
"Go back and tell the old man, I will live in Lijiazhuang for a few days, study martial arts with Li Yong, by the way, bring my usual spears, armor, bows and arrows!"
Li Jingheng and Zhang Zhilong also summoned their entourage over and ordered, and the instructions were reasonable, if they said that they would live in someone else's place, then the family would definitely not agree, but if they lived in Li Yong's mansion, hey, it is estimated that the family would like them not to go back! Therefore, you only need to send your entourage back to say it, and this matter will be settled, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll let you clean up the guest room and come out, you can stay for the time being!"
Li Jingheng and the others were all gearing up for a while, and hurriedly asked.
"Li Yong, then what should we do next?"
Li Yong spread his hands and smiled.
"What? If you don't do anything, just wait, wait for the news, if the prince really launches a mutiny, you will follow me into the city and do great things! ”
At this moment, they are very much looking forward to Li Chengqian being able to go to the dark with a dead end, and go to the end to wake up, they have been in Chang'an City for more than ten years, and they have done a lot of big things before, but with this matter, those things are not, so it is better to follow Li Yong to have fun!
"When did this prince rebel? Can you look like a man, neatly! ”
Li Chongyi rubbed his hands and said, Li Yong smiled.
"I guess! It's only been these two days! Be on your guard, especially at night. ”
Li Jingheng, Zhang Zhilong and others patted their chests and said.
"Don't worry! Awake! Let's definitely wait for you, and if there is any movement, we will immediately enter the city with you! ”
"Okay, don't drink for the past two days, don't run around, if you really have nothing to do, you will wrestle and compete."
Li Yong said with a smile, Li Jingheng and the others all agreed happily, Li Yong ordered the people to clean up the guest rooms, and then walked to the inner courtyard.
