Chapter 382: Family, Country, World (1)

"Your Majesty, I have discovered the defense replacement rules of the Yulin Army!" An eunuch rushed into the imperial study excitedly. His name was Lu Taiyi, and he was a personal eunuch promoted by Li Yuxin to replace the original Ma Yingjun. As for the original eunuch Ma Yingjun, he had already gone to the place he should go.

Lu Taiyi was about thirty years old, thin and tall, and looked smart and capable. He had served Li Yu in Baisun Court. Because he was about the same age, he became Li Yu's accompanying school. However, he would be jealous of his master. One day, he found a gold bracelet lost by Princess Pearl in his room and was sentenced to death. Fortunately, Shen Zhenzhu spoke for him and was finally punished for hard labor. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he gradually rose up and is now promoted to the chief eunuch.

He walked into the room and found that the emperor was writing at his desk. His movements were so scared that he calmed down and he whispered: "Your Majesty, I have discovered the rules of changing defenses in the Yulin Army!"

"Oh! Tell me quickly."

Li Yu put down his pen and waited for Lu Taiyi's answer with a smile on his face. The thing he longed for now was to leave the palace and go to Fengtian to see his new army, but it was not easy for the emperor to leave the palace. Since the last time he heard Bian Lingcheng talk about the loopholes in the defense of the Daming Palace, he began to pay attention.

Originally, there were two thousand Yulin Army, divided into two teams, one team led by Li Fei Yuanli, and the other team led by Xin Yunjing, but the Xin Yunjing team disappeared unexpectedly. Later, I learned that it was transferred to guard the Sining King's mansion. Li Yu was not surprised. Didn't Li Qing's family all live in the Sining King's Mansion?

If there are fewer soldiers and no defenses can be replaced, there will naturally be loopholes. Those who are emperors cannot find them. This will become the business of a confidant eunuch. Otherwise, what is the word "confidant".

"There are two shifts in total. At night, this shift is about 600. Most of them go to guard the inner palace, and some go to guard the Taiji Palace. Therefore, there are only more than 40 people patrolling the outer hall of the Daming Palace. Not only does the number of people decrease, the inspection is not strict. Ordinary iron cards need to be searched and interrogated. If there are signs issued by His Majesty, you can enter at will, and there is no need to investigate again."

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then hesitated: "I want to go out of the palace, do you think it's feasible?"

Lu Taiyi was shocked. It turned out that the emperor asked him to investigate the loopholes in the Yulin Army for this. If the queen knew about it, she had to peel him off. He waved his hands in panic and said, "How can the emperor be safe when leaving the palace tonight? Never!"

"Don't I consider safety?"

Seeing his objection, Li Yu's face suddenly became gloomy. He restrained his anger and said slowly: "Can my guards go out during the day and wait for them first. I will go out to meet them at night. Isn't that right?"

"This..." Seeing that the emperor's face had sunk, Lu Taiyi wanted to ask the queen for instructions, but when he spoke to his lips, he bit his tongue and did not dare to say more. He had to say no, "If Your Majesty must leave the palace, you must be prepared first. There must be no trouble on the road."

"I know all these!" Li Yu turned around and looked at the sky. It was still afternoon, but it was already cloudy outside, as if it was a sign of snow again. Although the weather was not good, he could no longer control his desire to see his army, so he said without hesitation: "Let's leave the palace tonight and come back tomorrow morning!"

As soon as night fell, dozens of horses rushed out of Mingde Gate like lightning and galloped straight outside Chang'an City. Li Yu often rode like this when he was a teenager. Once he met Li Qing, who had just returned from Nanzhao. Now he was thirty years old, and he had long passed the age of young and crazy. But more importantly, his current identity is the king of a country and could no longer act spontaneously. Although he was very excited and exciting, Li Yu's mind was no longer on the pleasure of riding a horse. Fengtian, which had flew away early, was a county of Chang'an, which was very close to Chang'an, and could arrive in half an hour. During the day, he had ordered the guards to arrive in Fengtian first and notified Bian Lingcheng that he should pick him up on the way.

A group of horses rushed up a hill, and there was a large pine forest on the hill. The strong wind blew the pine forest back and forth. Most of the clouds during the day had disappeared, revealing half of the full moon that was looming. The night was clear and bright, smearing the entire earth with a thin layer of silver.

It was the middle of winter and the weather was very cold. Li Yu ran out of sweat. He stood on the hill and looked into the distance and could see the black city of Fengtian County. A river was completely frozen, white and bright, as if a jade belt was surrounding the county town.

After waiting for a while, he heard a mess of horse hooves. Bian Lingcheng and hundreds of troops were hurriedly coming from the hills. Li Yu laughed at the sky, rode his horse and greeted the brigade.

Li Yu's team gradually disappeared. After a while, several horses suddenly emerged from the pine forest. A burly man stared at the direction where Li Yu's team's back disappeared. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he waved his hand and led several subordinates to gallop towards Chang'an.

Li Longji has been going to bed late recently. As the plan is completed step by step, the time for action is getting closer and closer. Like Li Yu, he also discovered a loophole in the Yulin Army guarding the Danfeng Sect, but he was not moved, but observed it patiently, whether it was a small negligence or a bigger loophole hidden behind this negligence.

For ten days, Li Longji asked Luo Fengxian to send eunuchs to the Daming Palace to check the situation every day, and finally he discovered a bigger loophole. Perhaps because the East Palace was vacant for many years, it was the entire hour of Hai (9:00-11:00 pm), and the Xuande Gate connecting the East Palace and the Daming Palace was not guarded by soldiers, but just closed the door tightly.

Li Longji was finally moved. Since he formulated the plan, he had been guarding the Daming Palace with soldiers guarding it, so he had to revolve all plans around Xingqing Palace. He re-summoned all officials in Xingqing Palace, announced the abolition of Li Yu, and ascended the throne himself. However, Li Longji also knew that Li Yu was justified in the ascension and had no morals. If he could not find a suitable reason to abolish him, he would not be able to explain to the people of the world. It can be said that he indulged in powerful officials, which offended Li Qing again, which has always been a problem that made him very troubled.

After thinking about it, the best way is to force him to abdicate himself and return the throne to the Supreme Emperor. Li Qing can do nothing about it even if he makes a mature rice.

Therefore, discovering the loopholes in the defense of the Yulin Army made Li Longji extremely excited. He could personally bring people into the Daming Palace to force the palace, and even invite Li Yu to Xingqing Palace to discuss the plan of abdication.

The dark clouds dissipated, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the silver color penetrated through the window paper made the quiet room look half-light and half-dark. Li Longji's face was also translucent. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on a silk futon, like an old monk who had entered into meditation. However, the old monk was thinking about Buddhist principles, while Li Longji was considering major events that had been related to the Tang Dynasty for generations.

"Sanlang, you have to pay attention to your health!" At some point, Yang Yuhuan had already appeared behind Li Longji. She knelt beside Li Longji with a bowl of ginseng tea, and gently placed the tea bowl on the small table. She smiled gently and said, "In the past, Sanlang had no time to go to the imperial study when he was in power. Now that he has rested, he stays in the quiet room every day. When he meets this and that, I am the concubine, Sanlang should take a break and let the younger generations do it!"

Li Longji did not speak, and Yang Yuhuan's words made him a little unhappy. After a long time, Li Longji glanced at her and said coldly: "If he could protect his ancestors' foundation, would he still use my old bone to make his life here? His throne was passed on by me. Now that the imperial power is undermined, I have no choice but to be a little tired and hard."

Speaking of this, Li Longji coughed gently, and said to Yang Yuhuan in a lengthened tone: "Don't come to my quiet room in the future. I will award many ministers to the tokens that can directly enter my quiet room to show grace. It would be bad if you were touched by them here."

Yang Yuhuan's beautiful eyes drooped gently. She was a woman with a very sensitive heart. How could she not feel Sanlang's coldness towards her recently? Although he never said why, Yang Yuhuan knew that Sanlang was pushing the blame for losing the throne to her, and even the Yang family became the root cause of An Lushan's rebellion.

She had endured all this silently. She had been intoxicated by singing and dancing for years, which really made Sanlang delay state affairs. Yang Yuhuan stood up slowly, lowered her head and walked out quickly. A crystal tears rolled down from her flawless face. Li Longji saw everything in his eyes. His lips moved, and in the end he said nothing, letting her leave the quiet room alone.

At this time, a rapid footsteps approached from afar. Li Longji immediately put Yang Yuhuan's tears aside, and his mind returned to the destruction and establishment of a plan. Soon, Luo Fengxian ran in quickly and said anxiously: "Grand Emperor, Chen Sangui has a big event to ask for a meeting!"

Chen Sangui is Li Longji's personal bodyguard and one of the old guards who has been following him after the Maweipo Incident. Now he is sent by Li Longji to monitor the minister who visits Li Yu every day. This person has always been known for his steadiness. Since he has something big, it must be a big thing.

"Let him come in!" Li Longji immediately stood up and walked to the door with his hands behind his back.

A burly man walked over quickly and half-kneeled to Li Longji and said, "Report to the Supreme Emperor, I discovered something big today!"

"speak!"

"I found out that the emperor had secretly left the palace. My subordinates followed him all the way and found that he had actually gone to Fengtian!"

"What!"

Li Longji was shocked. Li Yu actually secretly left the palace. What's going on? A thought flashed through Li Longji's mind and took this opportunity to kill him. But after standing for a long time, he finally suppressed this idea. He acted hastily and would ruin the big thing. He calmed down and asked again: "What did Li Yu do when he went to Fengtian?"

"I don't know the specific subordinates, but when my subordinates saw Bian Lingcheng leading hundreds of soldiers to welcome the emperor, they all bowed to the ground and shouted long live!"

Li Longji suddenly took a breath of air. He understood that it must be Bian Lingcheng hiding his soldiers in Fengtian. If these soldiers were not brought from Hedong, they would be newly recruited.

He lowered his head and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, "Bian Lingcheng!" Li Longji read the name several times. This was his confidant eunuch promoted by him. Now he was loyal to Li Yu. He suddenly felt sorrow and hatred in his heart. A resentment surged into the sky. How could Bian Lingcheng betray him!

He gradually stopped and quickly wrote a letter, turned around and called Chen Sangui to him, handed the letter to him and whispered to him: "You go to Fengtian tomorrow, and be sure to bring Bian Lingcheng to see me!"

After a night of hard work, Bian Lingcheng finally sent Li Yu away. At this time, dawn had arrived. The weather was cold and clear. There were a few light clouds floating in the sky. The wind was turning into a southwest wind, with a slightly moist atmosphere.

The camp was silent. The soldiers who had been practicing all night had slept exhausted. Only Bian Lingcheng could not sleep. He walked slowly along the military camp path. He was named General of the Cavalry last night, just like Gao Lishi back then, but his heart was still empty and without any joy. It was no wonder, how could a piece of empty handed down him to be happy? There was a lonely stone in front of him.

He simply sat up, pulled a piece of grass into his mouth and chewed it carefully, staring at the sky and thinking about his thoughts.

Last night, the emperor implicitly proposed that he would expand his army to 10,000 more people, and he would bear all the money and food required. Ten thousand people. Bian Lingcheng understood his meaning. Ten thousand people were enough to control Chang'an, but Li Qing still had 30,000 people stationed in various parts of Guanzhong?

Besides, if the army returns, can Li Qing still tolerate him?

Bian Lingcheng shook his head. The emperor was obviously talking about it on paper. Now he has worked hard to recruit 3,000 troops and 7,000 more people. Camps, training, and food are all major issues. More importantly, how to keep it confidential. It is too simple to think about it!

"General Bian!" A soldier ran from afar, breathlessly saying: "There is someone outside the camp who has urgent matters to look for General Bian, saying that he is your old friend!"
