Chapter 4125 Everyone has their own agenda

Li Chengqian was naturally overjoyed to be able to put the important place of Xuanwumen under his control. With Cheng Yaojin ensuring the safety of the capital, he was already in an invincible position no matter how the situation developed.

Li Chengqian took Li Daozong's hand and said with emotion: "My father's death is like the sky falling apart. I have a weak character and cannot control the overall situation. I need a loyal person like the prince to assist me to stabilize the government and suppress evil. If we continue the prosperous Zhenguan era created by our father, we will ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and we will be able to achieve great things for a long time to come.”

He is not considered an extremely talented person, and his ability to be an emperor is far inferior to that of his father, but he also has his own opinions. He does not need to be better than his father, he only needs to "follow the rules and regulations" after he ascends the throne, and continue his father's rule of the country. The program will naturally continue the prosperous age of Zhenguan.

I am not as ambitious and ambitious as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. As long as I work steadily, I will be able to make no mistakes.

As long as he has a good life and appoints Fang Jun, Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Ma Zhou and other virtuous ministers, it will be enough to create a grand and beautiful era. His father's industry will naturally be outstanding, but he may not be unable to become a generation in history. Ming Lord.

Being an emperor is not easy, but it is not difficult either. It is enough to restrain the desire brought by the supreme power in the world, and then "close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from the villains"...

*****

Wang Shoushi has been with His Majesty Li Er for many years, always hiding in the darkness and acting as a shadow, training dead soldiers and placing spies for His Majesty, doing more secretive things than "dying in vain". After so many years of hard work to cultivate strength, how can it be Can the prince and Baiqisi catch them all in one fell swoop?

Even though the loss was huge, he was still able to lead King Jin and others to escape from the palace along the secret passage without anyone noticing in Tai Chi Palace, and reached the outside of the palace...

Emerging from the dense bushes at the foot of a hill more than ten miles outside the city wall, Li Zhi felt the rain falling on his head, giving him a feeling of escaping from the dead and suddenly enlightened, regardless of the smell of mud and sweat all over his body. , wiped his face hard, and exhaled a long breath.

This secret passage leads directly from Taiji Palace to here, and is nearly twenty miles long. For such a large secret passage, you can imagine how much manpower and material resources were spent on digging it, and you can also understand why the interior is so rough and crude. In many places, there are even Kneel down Crawling on the ground, there is a thick layer of soil above your head, under your feet, and on both sides. In front of you is a dark tunnel. The extreme sense of oppression makes you feel that this secret tunnel can collapse at any time and bury you in it. Anyone with weak endurance Almost going crazy at one point.

Fortunately, I finally came out.

Standing up in the bushes, Li Zhi discovered that not far away to the east was an abandoned earth temple, while to the west was the majestic city tower with bright spots still visible despite the wind and rain.

Behind him, Wang Shoushi, Xiao Yu, Yu Chigong, Chu Suiliang and others filed out. Xiao Yu was old and weak. At this moment, he was drenched by the rain again. He shivered and his face was pale. He was usually well-maintained. His snow-white beard was covered with mud and water, and he was in a miserable state.

Yuchi Gong looked around and said in a deep voice: "This place is not far from the Youhouwei camp. Please follow me, Your Highness. When we get to the camp, we will make long-term plans."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "The phoenix dances in the sky and the flying dragon flies in the sky. Since I have escaped from the prison, it must be the blessing of my father's spirit in heaven. What other long-term plans are there? Please follow my king to raise troops and fight back to Chang'an to purge the court. Cut off the traitors, bring the heads of the villains who poisoned my father to the public, and restore the Tang Dynasty to a bright future!”

Chu Suiliang on the side pursed his lips, describing himself as embarrassed and said nothing.

He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. If he failed, his whole family would suffer and the whole family would be exterminated... But since his family had been kidnapped, the result of his rejection of King Jin would be no different, so he could only risk his life and fight for a fight. Yeah, there's still a glimmer of hope.

It's just that when he looked at the handsome side face of King Jin at the moment, he felt chilled in his heart. Imperial power is indeed the most extreme poison in the world. This young man who was harmless to humans and animals and as gentle as the wind in the west has become ruthless and ruthless. play hard.

It's a pity that I have no choice but to retreat...

At that moment, Yu Chigong took the lead, with dozens of dead soldiers guarding the two wings. The group walked through this inaccessible bush in the rain and rushed straight to the Youhouwei camp in the direction of Chunmingmen.

At about midnight, we finally arrived.

After hearing the soldiers' report, General Su Jia of the Right Houwei hurriedly ran out of the camp gate to greet them. When he saw the ragged clothes and embarrassed expressions of this group of people, he opened his mouth in surprise.

……

Entering the Central Army, everyone let out a long breath. Although they escaped from the secret passage of Taiji Palace, the prince's side will surely find out soon that the pursuit is inevitable. If they encounter it along the way, it will definitely be dangerous. Test.

Now that we have arrived at the Youhouwei camp, we can make plans calmly.

Not long after, Yuwen Shiji, who was already in the army, hurried over and sat in the Chinese army tent to discuss...

Since Yuchi Gong entered the palace, Yu Wenshiji stayed in the army to monitor Su Jia. Although Su Jia is from the family of Yuchi Gong's wife and is also from the Guanlong lineage, the affiliation of Youhou Wei is too important to allow any mistakes. Therefore, in order to prevent the prince from sending people to bribe Su Jia, Yu Wenshi cannot wait until Not taking charge personally.

The people sent by the prince had just left, and Su Jia stood firm and did not waver in the face of the temptation of high-ranking officials and generous salaries. This made Yu Wenshiji quite satisfied with Yu Chigong's skills in controlling his subordinates, and he also had feelings about this mutiny. Plenty of confidence.

Sitting in the tent, he was faintly excited.

He was a noble nobleman of Guanlong, with a transcendent status above the Tang Dynasty. However, he was suppressed by Changsun Wuji throughout his life. The powerful Yuwen family was never able to rise to the top of the Guanlong family because of him. Changsun Wuji never actually became the number one person in Guanlong before his death.

At the beginning, Changsun Wuji took advantage of His Majesty Li Er's "death" to raise his troops in the Liaodong Army, intending to overthrow the East Palace and depose the prince in one fell swoop, so that Guan Long could completely control the court. However, he failed and had to die to apologize... Even so, He Yuwenshiji who stepped forward to clean up such a mess is still considered insufficient by many people, which is far different from Changsun Wuji...

It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?

Now he wants to show those people that what Changsun Wuji failed to accomplish at the beginning will be accomplished by his Yu Wenshi and his hands!

The originally dying clan of Guanlong will also return to the court under his leadership, and they will share the leadership with the clans of Shandong, Jiangnan and other places. Soon, the glory of Guanlong will be rebuilt and they will reach the pinnacle of power of the Tang Dynasty...

The emotions in his heart were agitated, so his opinion was extremely radical: "Tomorrow morning, when the funeral is held, the prince will recite the sacrificial inscriptions, and then the civil and military ministers will bow down. The status of the monarch and his ministers has been determined from the beginning... Therefore, Your Highness should get up before dawn. matter, read out The prince’s various crimes were revealed to the world, so that those who still thought the prince was benevolent could see his true face, respond to his highness, and support his highness, and then mobilized troops to attack the city and enter the Taiji Palace to help his highness ascend the throne!”

Nowadays, the Guanlong clan has collapsed and dispersed, and its power is no longer at its peak. If you want to return to the court step by step and take charge of the power, it will take thirty years of hard work. This will also require someone with amazing talents in the clan. The younger generation takes the lead.

He is now nearly 70 years old, how can he wait so long?

Life and death, success or failure, are accomplished in one battle.

Xiao Yu was shocked and said hurriedly: "How can this be so? You can start an uprising, but you must not attack Chang'an City rashly. Although we have the right guard of the Duke of E, the prince also has the sixth command of the East Palace. The previous Guanlong army was dozens of times Yudong Palace The army is still severely defeated. If we fight to the death with the Sixth Army of the East Palace at this time, the outcome is uncertain. Once defeated, the situation is over and there will be no chance of regaining the throne of the emperor. "

Since the decline of Guanlong, the powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan have become the best in the world. Each family has sufficient money and food and numerous children. They have tried their best to support the King of Jin. The power of the King of Jin is far greater than that of the prince. After all, when the "edict" comes Making it known to the world, and even "exposing" the prince's evil deeds of poisoning and killing His Majesty, will inevitably cause the prince's reputation to plummet, and many forces that were originally inclined to support the prince will choose to wait and see what happens.

Under such a situation, what would happen even if the prince ascended the throne? As long as he fights steadily, King Jin will definitely be the final winner, so why take risks and fight to the death with the powerful Liu Sui of the East Palace?

Even if they are defeated in the end, they can take the King of Jin and retreat to Jiangnan or Shandong, forming a tripartite force with the central government, either dividing the east and west, or dividing the river to rule. With the support of the Shandong and Jiangnan clans, they can accumulate enough strength to hope for a comeback. There is absolutely no way. The truth of life or death is to rush and fight fiercely.

How stupid...

Yuchi Gong reminded: "And don't forget the Youtun Guards. That is Fang Er's army. Although it is under the control of Jiangxia County Prince, the morale of the army will definitely not be willing to surrender. If Fang Er raises his arms, I don't know how many people will respond... …The combat power of Youtun Guard cannot be ignored.”

Now the Youhou Wei under his command is the main force in King Jin's camp, and the armed forces put together by other families are not worth mentioning. This is a good opportunity for him, Yuchi Gong, to establish his merit as a follower of the dragon, but he cannot be reckless and think nothing of it. Go up there and pretend to be badly beaten.

This is his family fortune, and if he spends it all, it will be less. If he has not captured Chang'an after all his efforts, when the reinforcements from Shandong and Jiangnan arrive, what else will he have to do?

It was necessary to seize the opportunity to establish a position under the command of the King of Jin, and at the same time preserve as much strength as possible. The difficulty of balancing this made Yuchi Gong a little crazy...

Yu Wenshiji was displeased: "You keep talking about long-term planning, aren't you thinking of preserving your strength? The throne of the emperor is occupied by the virtuous. No matter what kind of handle we have in our hands, as long as the prince sits on the throne more One day, the throne became more and more stable... After a year and a half, It has become an established fact. How many people will still remember His Royal Highness King Jin? Who cares whether the prince poisoned the late emperor, persecuted his brothers, and usurped the imperial power? I am afraid that everyone will recognize the prince's throne and think that we are the emperor? The rebellious ministers and traitors who bring harm to the country and the people should be punished by everyone! ”

Li Zhi was so noisy that he felt dizzy and sighed helplessly.

Everyone has their own agenda, human nature is what it is, how difficult it is to be a leader with unparalleled prestige and make all parties surrender...(End of Chapter)
