Chapter 189: Beating the Reservoir Dogs
Zhang Lingxin is not a fool, although he is not moving, but he is not pretending to be deaf and dumb and doing nothing.
For example, Fang Chongyong proposed that it would be better to send a few scouts to Shengye Fang to have a look. At that time, what the loyal king Li Heng said, the truth and falsehood are clear at a glance. Zhang Lingxin sent people to Shengyefang to take a turn, and came back to report that Wu Zhiyi was searching from house to house with the remnants of the soldiers and King Xue's men and horses, as if he was looking for someone.
At this moment, Zhang Lingxin was completely convinced that this time it was indeed a rebellion of King Zhong, Wu Zhiyi as an internal response, and King Xue as a foreign aid, using the Nanya forbidden army to go outside the city, and the main force of the Longwu army was ordered by the sage not to be allowed to go out of the camp.
Although Zhang Lingxin couldn't believe it, King Zhong, who had always been as steady as a turtle on weekdays, would be so reckless. But the facts are in front of us, and what Zhongwang Li Heng said about "King Shou conspired to rebel and make trouble" has no evidence, and it is basically a lie.
On the contrary, it is evidence that this prince is making waves behind his back, which is stubble after stubble, more than the weeds on the outskirts of Chang'an!
So now, there is a new question: since the situation has been ascertained, should Long Wujun go to the rescue?
In the signing room of the Xuanwu Gate Tower, Zhang Lingxin and Li Linfu, who didn't dare to rest at all, stared at each other and fell into extreme entanglement. On the contrary, Fang Chongyong was like a transparent person, sitting in the corner of the wall with his eyes closed.
In many cases, standing still represents one's own attitude and is a conservative statement.
When there is a struggle for the throne, the forbidden army does not take a stand, and many times it is a good thing rather than a bad thing.
After all, Li Linfu, the right minister, and Zhang Lingxin, the right general of the Longwu Army, did not side with Li Heng and provide resources for Li Heng's rebellion.
Isn't this a statement?
But the problem is: it is right for the forbidden army and the prime minister to keep to themselves, and it is also appropriate for the king to be active. These two very different attitudes are essentially "rules". What everyone is worried about is just what Li Longji will think!
Li Linfu couldn't eat it, and Zhang Lingxin couldn't eat it either.
"Do you think that the right minister will transfer the first part of the Long Wujun to go to Shengyefang to clear the field?"
Zhang Lingxin asked with some uncertainty, he felt his neck flutter, and it seemed that he might move at any time. And not one person died, but the whole family went on the road together. His hands trembled as he said this.
"This matter, the real picture is also hesitating."
Li Linfu sighed and said.
Compared with the members of the clan, Brother Ji actually trusts the old ministers of the Qianlong period more. As long as they weren't fools who died on their own, those people were basically saints now.
It is indeed true that Li Linfu has the trust of Brother Ji, but it also depends on the situation and the occasion. In this kind of rebellion, Brother Ji doesn't necessarily trust Li Linfu very much.
Before Li Linfu came to the Longwu Army to "take refuge" to prevent Li Heng from using the name of a foreign dynasty to control the army, this is really no problem, it is a self-preservation policy.
But it would be very inappropriate to participate in the next action of the Long Wu Army. If Zhang Lingxin sent Long Wujun's soldiers and horses to Shengyefang to clear the field, then no matter whether Li Linfu opened his mouth or not, in the eyes of outsiders who didn't know, of course they would think that this was Li Linfu's decision!
Afterwards, Li Longji found out that Li Linfu could actually mobilize the Long Wu Army to rescue him, whether he was grateful or afraid, then he said two things!
"Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, Jin Wuwei of Nanya has been mobilized to go to Shengyefang to quell the rebellion, I believe they can do it."
Li Linfu shook his head a little helplessly and said, rejecting Zhang Lingxin's suggestion. At this time, it's better not to move than to move.
This time he was really scared, there were dozens of people in his family. Judging from the people Li Linfu has offended over the years as an official, once he loses power, the end will never be very good.
Li Linfu believed that Fang Chongyong was also afraid, but Fang Chongyong had already offended Li Heng to death before, so now he could only stand opposite Li Heng's family, and he had no choice at all.
Otherwise, no fool would take the initiative to participate in such a thing, jumping up and down.
"If it is peaceful today, why should King Zhong rebel?"
Undecided, Zhang Lingxin changed the topic and asked with some doubts.
In his opinion, Li Longji's ruling foundation has not been shaken at all, and no one around the Tang Dynasty has won the Tang army except for Tubo, not to mention that it is now in a period of relative peace with Tubo.
At this time, it is outrageous to stand up and rebel.
In fact, in Zhang Lingxin's impression, among the princes, Li Heng is more responsible.
"General Zhang, you might as well call him Li Heng directly. The title of loyal king, Li Heng is no longer worthy, and if he is called like this, it seems that he is suspected of sympathizing with the rebellion. ”
Li Linfu suggested quietly.
"Haha, yes, that's true. Li Heng rebelled, but he really damned it. ”
Zhang Lingxin laughed dryly and said, he and Li Linfu both had their own concerns, and they couldn't fully trust each other. Now it is not so much that they are discussing important matters together, but that they are supervising each other and proving each other's innocence.
At this moment, a general of the Longwu Army hurriedly walked in outside, and this person happened to be Zhang Lingxin's eldest son, Zhang Jun.
Before the other party could speak, Zhang Lingxin smiled heartily: "If there is anything, just say it in front of the right minister." ”
"Father, Jin Wuwei and other Nanya forbidden troops have entered the city and started to clear the field in Shengyefang! Look at the number of people is no less than 2,000!
They are now fighting with Wu Zhiyi and King Xue's people, and their momentum is like a rainbow. King Xue, their defeat is only a matter of time. ”
Zhang Jun said excitedly.
It's not okay not to be excited, because the situation has become clear, and they can finally do not have to do multiple-choice questions.
Zhang Lingxin and Li Linfu also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Right Xiang, don't hesitate now. It is urgent to dispose of the loyal king. ”
Zhang Lingxin said to Li Linfu with a solemn face.
Even if the dust settles, they still have to do the work! For example, show off your skills in line!
"You personally lead the team to tie up Li Heng and tie him to the flagpole in the Xiyuan school field."
Zhang Lingxin ordered in a calmer tone as much as possible.
There was no winner before, Li Heng still had a little chance to win, for example, Wu Zhiyi They found Li Longji in the shortest possible time and killed him, and then pushed it to Shouwang Li Xuan.
Then Long Wujun can support Li Heng to take the throne with the support of the donkey. So at that time, I couldn't be too mean to this "new gentleman" who still had a chance to take the throne in theory.
As for now, the overall situation has been decided, so of course you can't be polite to Li Heng.
At this time, be polite to Li Heng, that is "shielding" the prisoner! It's serious!
"That's right."
Zhang Lingxin stopped Zhang Jun and whispered in his ear: "Send a few people who know how to measure and beat Li Heng well, at least to beat his nose and face to swelling, as long as he doesn't kill him." ”
Is this a horse-riding thing okay?
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his father explained like this. If you rebel, you will rebel, and when the time comes, you can cut it all together, so what's the point of beating Li Heng?
"Go ahead, just do what I tell you to do."
Zhang Lingxin waved his hand impatiently and said.
After Zhang Jun left, he has been pretending to be transparent here. Fang Chongyong, who could obviously make suggestions, but had to pretend that he couldn't speak, suddenly said:
"General Zhang, now you can send a team of men and horses to the Ten Princes' Mansion to arrest Li Heng's heirs and their families.
It's also a great achievement.
However, it is inconvenient for General Zhang and the right minister to go in person, and you still have to sit in Xuanwumen. ”
That's right!
Zhang Lingxin and Li Linfu both "suddenly realized" and almost applauded.
Beat the water dogs, this trick is really wonderful! And Fang Chongyong has also hinted very explicitly that it would be more appropriate for someone to lead the team.
It's him, a fake monk who ran errands back and forth and broke off!
"If you are in a hurry, I will let you temporarily act as the commander of the Longwu Army, and lead five hundred soldiers to the Ten Kings' Mansion to arrest people."
Zhang Lingxin looked at Fang Chongyong and said.
In fact, he and Li Linfu, until now, have to "monitor each other", and they can't let each other out of their sight, otherwise it will be difficult for Brother Ji to prove his innocence if he is investigated later.
Saving the driver is a credit; It is also a credit not to let Li Heng's plan succeed, it cannot be said that Zhang Lingxin and Li Linfu did not send someone to save Brother Ji, just say that they did nothing in the process of quelling the rebellion this time!
"Please General Zhang seal a letter to Long Wujun, and ask the right minister to write a decree and seal it. With the seal and warrant, a certain person went to the Ten Kings' Mansion and persuaded the defenders of the Ten Kings' Mansion to help search for him. ”
Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted.
He asked for a double insurance.
It is appropriate for Zhang Lingxin to seal the letter to Long Wujun, after all, this is something to prove his identity. But with the essence of Li Heng's old coin, I think that the officials and defenders of the Ten Kings' Mansion have been bribed! It is even very likely that the Ten Kings Mansion Envoy has already taken refuge in Li Heng! Relying on Long Wujun's seal letter alone may not make some red-eyed people put down their resistance.
If there was no decree written by Li Linfu, Fang Chongyong felt that this trip was really a bit of a "lack of confidence".
"Will this minister be too lenient in managing the affairs of the Ten Princes' Mansion?"
Li Linfu asked meaningfully with a smile on his face.
"I think that most saints will still like the prime minister who can make a difference after an accident. Sending Long Wujun to rescue the driver is easy to injure the saint by mistake, so it is naturally better to use other methods.
But going to the Ten Kings' Mansion to raid the house will not make the saint embarrassed at all.
The right minister should still make his attitude clear.
The left phase doesn't care about things, but the right phase is in charge, so the weight of the left and right phases in the hearts of the saints is naturally different. ”
Fang Chongyong said unhurriedly.
Of course, Li Linfu can't manage the Ten Princes' Mansions, but he represents the attitude of the Central Foreign Dynasty! This warrant is enough to influence the attitude of many neutral wait-and-see.
The Ten Princes' Mansion is very large, and each prince has five hundred palace people and palace maids, and there are many guards. With these people taking the initiative to cooperate, things will be much easier.
Without Li Linfu's endorsement, Fang Chongyong went to "raid the house", and he really couldn't let go.
"Well, it does make sense. The Prime Minister then wrote a decree and stamped it with the seal of the center. ”
Li Linfu nodded slightly, asked for a pen and paper, and in the name of the central foreign court, he directly wrote a decree to seize the residence of King Zhong and arrest the family of Prince Zhong's heirs in the whole city, and handed it over to Fang Chongyong.
"Then so-and-so will go to work."
Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted, then turned around and left.
After he left, Li Linfu said to Zhang Lingxin with a smile: "Let's also prepare, maybe we will meet the saint later." ”
"Yes, I hope the saint doesn't blame."
Zhang Lingxin said with a sigh.
The number of this dragon martial army, I'm afraid I can't keep it anymore.
There are still today
