Chapter 3762 The kings are panic
This captain was young, with a tall and straight figure in armor. He came to Changsun Wuji and stood at attention and saluted: "The last general Zuo Yi is guarding the captain Sun Renshi..."
Changsun Wuji didn't have the patience to listen to his self-registered number. He waved his hands impatiently and said displeased: "But a lieutenant colonel in the First Army, what qualifications do you have to protect your name in front of me? Please tell me clearly what happened to the two princes." No matter what, don’t hide it.”
"...here."
Sun Renshi took a breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said quickly: "At three o'clock tonight, someone discovered that both the Bohai Palace and the Longxi Palace were on fire. The troops stationed outside the square immediately broke into the square to put out the fire. Later, they discovered that the Bohai Palace was on fire. Junwang, Longxi Both the king and the county were assassinated in the bedroom. They were already dead. Their bodies were burned to varying degrees, but they could still be identified. Although the scene was burned by fire, it could still be seen that they had been rummaged and searched before... …”
He was eloquent and told what happened in detail. They were all based on what was discovered at the scene and did not include his own subjective speculations.
Feeling Changsun Wuji's contempt for him, he would not humiliate himself...
Changsun Wuji frowned and listened. When Master Sun Ren finished speaking, he grasped the key and asked: "Who ordered the troops stationed outside the square to enter the square to put out the fire?"
The purpose of raising troops this time was to depose the prince and bring order to the chaos. He repeatedly emphasized that it was just "military remonstrance" and was by no means a rebellion. Therefore, although the Guanlong army entered Chang'an City and stationed in Chang'an City, and fought successive battles with the sixth leader of the East Palace, Changsun Wuji strictly restrained the army from disturbing the people. Without military orders, soldiers are not allowed to enter any place without permission.
Otherwise, there would already be refugees everywhere in Chang'an, and the people would drag their families and families into exile...
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there is a fire in the inner square, the troops outside the square are not allowed to enter the square without clear orders.
Master Sun Ren shook his head and said: "The general asked several military commanders and did not receive an order. He only entered the square to put out the fire because he saw that the fire was quite large and was afraid that it would spread to the entire square."
After a pause, he added: "The two palaces are divided into two inner squares. The two armies were stationed outside the square. After the fire broke out, they entered the square almost at the same time... The two military commanders have been controlled by the Military Justice Department. One of them is a child of the Changsun family, and the other is a child of the Hou Mochen family. ”
Changsun Wuji rubbed his brows and felt his head swelling.
This captain is a smart man, and his last words are the most important beginning of the whole thing...
He casually waved his hand and dismissed the captain. The deterioration of the situation made him feel so bad that he didn't even bother to say a word of praise.
It’s not like he is a descendant of Guanlong. It doesn’t matter whether he has ability or not. He has been in the army for more than ten years, even if he has no meritorious service, it is just a prejudice...
At this moment, there was no sleep at all. The deaths of Li Fengci and Li Boyi were obviously caused by "Baiqisi". Such a ruthless approach does not agree with the prince's character and style, but the effect on the East Palace is unexpectedly good - the entire royal family can feel this deterrent effect. Anyone who continues to flirt with Guan Long will have to consider the East Palace. Will they take action against them?
The old servant knew that he was not sleepy, so he made a pot of tea and brought two plates of snacks.
Changsun Wuji just took a sip of tea and wanted to think about how to reduce the impact of the assassination of the two princes as much as possible. Then he saw the clerk on duty knocking on the door and saying respectfully. : "Informing the Duke of Zhao, Duke Ying and the Prince of Huaiyang came together to seek an audience."
"Let them in."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand, and when the clerk retreated, he asked the old servant to make another pot of tea and placed two teacups. Yu Wenshiji and Li Daoming had already entered hand in hand.
The two of them greeted each other and sat down respectively. Yu Wenshi and his expressions were solemn: "Presumably the auxiliary officers already know the news of the assassination of King Bohai and King Longxi, right?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "I just found out."
Yu Wenshi asked: "Have you arranged for someone to investigate the scene and track down the murderer?"
Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Li Daoming on the side said impatiently: "Why is there any need to investigate? The prince must have instigated the 'Baiqisi' to carry out this murder! In the evening, King Han summoned us to Zongzheng Temple. After giving a warning, the two brothers, the King of Longxi and the King of Bohai, behaved disrespectfully and spoke rudely. As a result, they were assassinated to death in the evening...Who else could be there besides the prince? "
Changsun Wuji glanced at the prince who had no palace, and slowly took a sip of tea. However, he also admitted that there was no need to investigate the matter at all, and it must have been the East Palace. Moreover, "Hundred Qisi" was able to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer when he carried out such an assassination. His hands and tail were naturally clean, and no clues could be found in the investigation.
Yu Wenshiji picked up the tea cup and said: "The princes do not need to be impatient. If it is true that the 'Baiqisi' is responsible for the attack, the news about the two princes' conspiracy to commit treason and collaborating with the enemy will be released by tomorrow at the latest. At the same time, there will be news There is evidence that Dong Gong wants to use this method to scare the kings. But we can refute it tit for tat. Why should we accuse it? The evidence produced by Dong Gong may not be true."
Although the method of secretly assassinating people is not common, it is not technically difficult, and you can see through it at a glance.
Moreover, in the evening the King of Han summoned all the kings to Zongzheng Temple and gave them a lecture. In the middle of the night, the King of Longxi and the King of Bohai were assassinated. The motive of the East Palace to "kill the chickens to scare the monkeys" was too obvious and too direct, and they had no intention of hiding it. The purpose is to frighten the kings and prevent them from taking refuge in Guanlong unscrupulously, causing the prince's reputation and righteousness to be affected.
After all, as a prince, without the support of the clan, he really lacks confidence and it is easy to follow the truth.
The same sentence "depose the prince" is one thing for the Guanlong clan to shout, but it is another thing for the clan kings to shout it. The meaning and impact are absolutely different...
However, Li Daoming had already fallen into anxiety and fear, and he did not care about etiquette at this moment. As soon as Yu Wenshi finished speaking, he said quickly: "Is the key point about the evidence? No one cares about the bullshit evidence! The key point is that people are dead. Assassinated by 'Hundred Cavalry' in his own mansion Inside, on the bed! There are tens of thousands of troops in the city, they come and go without a trace, they retreat calmly after the assassination! What does this mean that when I get up tomorrow morning, my head may have been killed? Hanging on the Chengtian Gate!”
He vented his anger to Yu Wenshiji, then turned to Changsun Wuji, with an extremely serious look on his face: "We all took refuge in you, Duke Zhao, and that's why we were hated by the prince, and then we encountered vicious hands. The dignified prince was treated like a dolphin or a dog. Killing! Mr. Zhao, how do you plan to give us an explanation?"
The prince has always shown himself to be "kind" and "cowardly" in front of others. He is very civil and military among the kings of the clan and the court. He is like a "little sheep" who can be bullied at will. Of course, if he goes too far, he will offend the prince. I was unhappy, but I didn't take it seriously.
What can you do to us if we are unhappy?
The weak Crown Prince may not even dare to kill a chicken...
However, the prince's fierce reaction was completely unexpected. This soft "little sheep" suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a pair of fangs...
This is a bit scary.
Everyone loves to bully honest people, because the consequences are really pitiful. But everyone also knows that honest people can also get angry. Once the limit is exceeded, the anger that an honest person bursts out is enough to destroy the world, without considering the consequences at all!
Obviously, the prince is now in a hurry.
Before the prince could act impatiently, the kings of the clan pressed forward step by step, fully intending to depose the prince and replace him with King Qi. From now on, everyone would have their support, and his power and status would be different from before. Now the prince is anxious, and the kings of the clan have found that the sheep have turned into tigers, and they all have numb claws...
Changsun Wuji was not angry because of Li Daoming's bossing. The Huaiyang King was famous for being reckless, violent and brainless in the clan. He was now frightened out of his mind by the assassination methods of the East Palace. It is understandable that there was some disrespect in his words.
He held the tea cup and drank tea, and said calmly: "It's simple. I will send the elite of the army to garrison the princes' palaces and be on duty day and night to ensure the safety of the princes. No matter how powerful the 'Hundred Qisi' is, it is impossible for him to Countless soldiers act recklessly with low eyelids.”
No matter how stupid Li Daoming was, he was a little dumbfounded at the moment.
Guanlong troops stationed in the palace, is this to protect security or to provide full house arrest?
Even though he has never been on the battlefield, it has not been long since his family conquered the world and founded the country, so he still has some experience. He understands that the reason why Guan Long is tolerant to the kings of the clan and has promised countless benefits is because the kings of the clan still have some use. value. But once Guanlong is defeated, the value of this use will be instantly wiped out, and then the clan kings will be transformed from allies into hostages.
That's the difference between one step to heaven and one step to earth...(End of Chapter)
