Chapter Twenty-Four: Why Did the Painstaking Plan Come About?

The Xiangwang Mansion was brightly lit, and the people in the mansion all went out to help find people, and there were few people waiting in the entire mansion.

"How are you over there?" At the door of the main hall, Li Bing watched the two of them come in, hurriedly greeted them, and asked Wei Ze first. Seeing that Yinglan'er was also there, she nodded slightly and asked, "Lan'er, why are you here too?"

"I sent Sister Qianyi out of the city today, and as soon as I returned to Chang'an, I met Ma Xuewen and they were looking for people everywhere, and when I asked, I knew that Anzi had an accident, so I followed over to take a look. What the hell is going on? Okay, how can people disappear?"

Li Bing was very anxious, first looked at Wei Ze's expression, knowing that he still hadn't found anyone, and was even more uneasy. replied: "Today, Anzi went to Song's house alone, and he hasn't come back for a long time after dinner." I thought he had stayed at Song's house for dinner, so I didn't go to him. Until just now, I felt that something was wrong, so I sent someone to Song's house to ask.

When I asked, I found out that Anzi had left three hours ago, but she never returned. Then I went to Wei Ze and Xuewenjia, and he was not there. The people Anzi knew in Chang'an were very limited, and he had searched for all the places he could find, but he was nowhere to be found.

After that, I sent people along the road from Songjia to the palace and inquired around. Someone saw Anzi follow two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, into an alley at the beginning of Shen Shi, and never came out again. At that time, I knew that Anzi had an accident. ”

After Li Bing finished speaking, Wei Ze said again: "The personal soldiers and subordinates of the palace, as well as the guys of Yongdatang, searched that alley, along with several alleys next to it, from house to house, and I couldn't find any news. It seems that the people who took away the Anzi brothers came prepared. ”

"But, who will work hard to deal with Anzi?" Yinglan'er pondered: "Isn't Anzi with you all this time?

"I don't know. He has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, maybe it is not necessarily a former enemy. Li Bing said this, but he had another thought in his heart: Isn't it that the matter of Fengzhou was exposed, and the people of Rongjiao came to find these two black silk books, it is not easy to arrest me, and I arrested Anzi first? If this is really the case, things will be in trouble.

Ying Lan'er was secretly shocked when she heard this, and asked again: "Have you reported to the official? Have you asked the city guards to help you find it? You are the prince of the world, it should be easy for the government to deal with it." ”

Wei Ze poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip of the cow: "Over there of the city guards, Brother Bing'er has already informed him, and the city gate guards have a portrait of Anzi." Not only the white road, but also the underworld. It is estimated that there will be news in a while. ”

As he spoke, a sturdy figure like an ox stepped on the stairs in three or two steps and rushed into the main hall, and the whole person was also in a hurry.

"The news is here!" This person is Ma Xuewen: "My brothers on the road, I have searched for the entire place in Chang'an where people can be hidden." Several big underworld gangs in Chang'an have also said hello, but they don't know it, and it doesn't look like it was done by the underworld. The one who took Anzi away should still be a person from the rivers and lakes. ”

After speaking, he comforted Li Bingdao again: "Boss, don't worry, fortunately, it's already night, and the gates of Chang'an have been keyed, and they can't get out." The soldiers of your palace, my brothers, and the guys of Yongdatang, such a big force, if you want to find someone in Chang'an, can you still find it?"

After speaking, he looked around the hall and suddenly asked Li Bing: "Eh, are His Royal Highness King Xiang and Uncle Mi Xin here?"

"Father and Uncle Mi went to the palace today to investigate King Mu's case, counting the time, they should be about to come back. What's wrong?

Li Yu went to the palace, ostensibly to investigate the case, but actually to ask for the news of the "Qin Palace". In order to understand Li Bing's strange internal skills, Mi Xin had already found the contact person of the Qin Palace's palace in the palace, but Li Xin still felt uneasy, and he had to come forward to make a trip himself. But this is a later story, not a table.

"It's something. I want to inform His Royal Highness King Xiang. Ma Xuewen's expression suddenly became more serious: "When we were looking for Anzi this time, Anzi didn't find it, but found something else. In Chang'an, there were actually more than ten sects of people, and they were all dressed in disguise, and they lived very scattered, as if they were afraid that others would find out.

At the beginning, I found two or three people from the sect, and after confirming that they had nothing to do with Anzi's affairs, I didn't pay much attention to them. But later, the more I checked, the more people I found, roughly calculated, there were almost a thousand people, all of them in disguise, which is very unusual. I sent someone to check down again, and it turned out that many of them were related to King Mu or Zheng Guogong (Yu Chaoen). ”

When Li Bing heard this, his expression was strange, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Ma Xuewen's eyes: "You mean ......?"

"I think the same thing as you......! There may be movements, maybe...... I really want to rebel!"

The palace wall is circled, five steps and a sentry, and ten steps and a post. In extraordinary times, there should be extraordinary precautions.

King Xiang and Mi Xin rode horses and walked out of Yanxi Gate slowly.

"You heard what I said. What does he mean, isn't Bing'er's meridians not very easy to treat?"

"Your Highness, be relieved. He was just a liaison, and he didn't expect him to be an 'outer disciple' who could treat the world. As long as he can pass the word back to the 'Qin King Palace' and ask the masters sitting inside to come forward, this matter should be done. ”

Li Xuan shook his head: "It's that I'm worried about it." ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly reined in his horse and looked up at the sky violently.

"What's wrong?" Mi Xin also looked up, except for one day when the stars and the moon were in the sky, he didn't see anything unusual.

Li Xuan turned his head, looked at the forbidden army on the upper floor of the palace city, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe I'm dazzled." Just now, it felt as if someone had flown overhead and entered the palace. ”

"It's impossible, there are forbidden troops guarding the top of the city gate and the palace wall, if someone can enter under such a strict guard, isn't this light feat the best in the world?"

"Yes. Let's go, now we can only wait quietly for the news from the Qin Wang Palace. ”

At the same time as the two of them stepped away, the black shadow that passed above Li Yan's head just now, and the toes lightly clicked on the roof of Yanxi Gate, and jumped dozens of feet high, disappearing into the night. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at a remote corner of the palace, the Linzhao Hall.

The window of the dormitory was still open, and Li Xuan looked at the moonlight outside the window, leisurely flipping through a book manuscript. This book is "Lu Wuyang Collection", a collection of poems by a lesser-known poet of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, the rise of engraving printing was not long ago, and most of the books were still manuscripts, especially this kind of cold bibliography.

On a calm night, a sudden wind passed, and the corner of the page was messy, and the wind stopped in an instant.

A figure appeared behind Li Xuan, but he didn't care.

The black shadow walked behind Li Xuan: "You rarely read this kind of poetry collection idle book." "It's Chen Qingniu.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just flip through it. He put down the book in his hand. "You're here, have you found it all out?"

"Everything is exactly as you might expect. First of all, the book "The Art of Stargazing" is indeed in the hands of Meng Meng. After Benmon's death, the book should have been left to his only grandson, Ben Zhicha. But I haven't seen him take it out yet. Do you want us to go and find it?"

"Not yet. Li Xuan finally put down the book in his hand and looked at Chen Qingniu: "Xiangwangfu has been very close to the Rong family recently, and now it's too easy to expose us." When the matter of Beamon's death calms down, it's not too late to do it.

Fang Zheng will be on duty in the palace from next month, and I will send someone to keep an eye on him. I'm not afraid that he's gone. ”

"Good. Chen Qingniu replied, and said: "This second thing is Yu Chaoen." He really took the bait, and in just a few days, he had already gathered more than a dozen sects, as well as the forbidden army team he had led, all of which had been integrated. After all, there must be more than 5,000 people, but it is a lot of force. ”

Li Xuan was not surprised by this news at all, flipped through the poetry book in his hand again, and asked simply: "Among these people, are there any powerful characters?"

"There are many sects, the most important ones are: Luoyingmen, Bizhen Pavilion, Sanwen Sanshou. The heads of these three factions are all masters of fame. Especially Sanwen Sanshou, his head and the left and right elders are all famous Jianghu people for a long time, and their strength is almost on par with me, and they will vote under the Muwang Sect, which is also beyond my expectations.

Oh yes. In addition, Yu Linghui also went to find a person - it is a little unbelievable, it is actually the successor of the 'Carved Snow Rainbow'. ”

"Is it the 'carved snow and rainbow' in the Nine Gates of Shan Chuan?" Li Xuan was stunned: "That single pass is good at assassination?"

"Exactly. ”

"That's good. With him, I can make some movement out. Maybe as soon as my father was in a hurry, he really opened a big array and hid in it?"

This so-called big array is the purpose of Li Xuan's plan for more than a year. It is also the intention of Rongjiao to set up this move in the palace - to find the entrance to the "Golden Array Plate".

Rongjiao discovered early on that the "Golden Array", one of the "Seven Arrays", was under the palace, but it couldn't find the entrance for a long time.

This matter has to start with the Sui Dynasty: before Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty became emperor, he knew the location of the Chang'an Golden Array and knew its wonderful use. After being proclaimed emperor, with the help of "Yang Su" and "Yu Wenhua", the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty was established on this "Ancient Golden Array". I want to use the power of the Golden Array to defend the Imperial Palace.

However, until the fall of the Sui Dynasty, this large array was never activated. Later, Tang Gaozu entered Chang'an, and originally wanted to abandon the Daxing Palace and build it again, but Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng saw the mystery of this "Golden Array Plate", and the Daxing Palace was retained, and the formation was modified to become the Taiji Palace.

It's just that the entrance to this formation has always been regarded as a secret, and only a few people know about it. Li Xuan's biological mother also entered the palace for this matter, lurked in the court, and found out the news.

Speaking of this formation, although it is subtle, its effect is very weak. If the army is pressing, it is like the Anshi Rebellion, and the emperor will abandon the palace and flee early, and he will not hide in the formation and wait for death. Thinking about it, only this kind of forced confession and rebellion, a temporary crisis, can make it possible for the emperor to activate the big array. Therefore, Rongjiao took a lot of effort to arrange for King Mu or Zheng Guogong to rebel.

After Chen Qingniu reported the situation, he saw that Li Xuan was thinking about things, and he didn't bother. Who knows, Li Xuan asked him first: "Is there anything else?"

"No more. I'm just wondering if I need to stay here to protect you, in case it really ...... tomorrow."

Li Xuan knew his intentions, shook his head and said: "Even if Yu Chaoen forces the palace, who cares about a prince who is completely unfavorable? ”

"Then ......" Chen Qingniu's words stopped, and finally held back: "How careful you are." ”

After speaking, he took up the light skill of "stepping on the gang", went out of the Linzhao Palace, and escaped into the night.

Not long after he left, Xiang Zhen pushed the door in with a piece of soup, looked at Li Xuan in a daze, and said softly: "I see that Your Highness is restless today, so I cooked a bowl of Ningshen soup, Your Highness can take a sip." ”

Li Xuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he saw that the soup had been handed to him, and took a sip of the bowl. Rao is decoction was too bitter, but he still put it down and only said thank you.

"Your Highness, I'm thinking about Li Bing's affairs. Yan Zhen said: "Actually, I can also see that His Highness has laid out such a big game. Not only to measure the entrance of the Golden Array Plate, but also to take it along the way, to fulfill King Xiang and Li Bing. ”

Li Xuan was still silent, and he acquiesced to Yu Zhen's idea.

"From the beginning of His Royal Highness's secret help King Mu to become a big force and match him in the gangs in the rivers and lakes, I feel that His Royal Highness hopes that Yu Chaoen's rebellion will succeed. Once there is a big change in the palace, King Xiang will definitely not sit idly by and watch the world fall into the hands of the Yu family, and will definitely enter the palace to quell the rebellion.

By then, the crown prince has already died, and there is no one available among the adult princes, and it is not certain that King Xiang will take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne. And his only son, Li Bingshizi, is naturally the crown prince. ”

"Even if he doesn't want to be emperor, I have a way to force him. Li Xuan sighed: "Even if the crown prince and the king are both defeated, I will not have a chance, and the Tang Dynasty will not allow a lame prince to inherit the throne." What I can't do, if he can do it. ”

Yan Zhen said: "But Li Bingshizi may not want to be the emperor, why does His Royal Highness work so hard to arrange so much." What's more, His Royal Highness can also see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a good emperor in the future. ”

"What if he is a good emperor, he is not Li Bing after all!"

————————

After changing it for a long time, I feel that this chapter still seems to be a little thin, but I don't know how to change it.

Do you have any thoughts?
