Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth: Your Royal Highness, you must not rebel
"The saint actually sent Princess Pingyang to temporarily take over the military power of the twelve guards on the left and right, and use her body as a woman to supervise the country? He also asked you to go to Renzhi Palace quickly, otherwise, Princess Pingyang will arrest you and send you to Renzhi Palace..."
Wearing a high crown and looking like a scholar, Xu Shimu stood in the Jiade Hall of the East Palace, waving his hands and baring his teeth.
"Your Highness, this is a rebellion! You must not obey it. From this order of the saint, it can be seen that he has completely believed that you, the prince, are going to rebel. If you go to Renzhi Palace now, something unpredictable may happen.
ah!"
"Xu Qing, what you said is too much!"
After hearing Xu Shimu's words, Li Jiancheng's face suddenly turned pale.
"Gu just delayed it for a few days and didn't do anything else. How could Aye really think that Gu was going to rebel?"
"What His Highness said is absolutely true..."
Prince Zhongyun and Wang Gui also said in a tactful tone.
"The reason why the saint gave this secret edict to Princess Pingyang is because the saint discovered that the twelve guards were ordered to block the capital. In addition, the saint had given armor to Yang Wenqian before, which made the saint have feelings for your highness.
Just some misunderstandings."
"That's why I said at the beginning that Jingzhao should not be blocked!"
As soon as Wang Gui finished speaking, he heard Xu Shimu's strange words from the side.
"It turns out that incompetent guy Wei Zheng insisted on saying that by blocking Jingzhao, he could find evidence that the King of Qin was stationing troops in Jingzhao and spying on Renzhi Palace, and then he could directly overthrow the King of Qin. But what happens now? He has been in Binxiang for so many days.
Have you found a black armor rider?"
"Xu Shimu, you villain!"
As soon as Xu Shimu finished speaking, a thin official of the East Palace stood up, pointed at him, and cursed loudly.
"Wei Xima clearly said at that time that after the Beijing seal was sealed, His Highness should immediately go to Renzhi Palace to decompose it, so that the saint would not doubt His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness had listened to Wei Xima's wishes, the matter would have been resolved long ago.
As a result, you stood up to bewitch Your Majesty at that time, using the excuse that the saint was in a rage and His Highness would inevitably suffer as a result, and tried your best to persuade His Highness to delay and cause the situation in front of you. Now you actually want to shirk your responsibility?"
"Zhao Hongzhi, don't talk nonsense! At that time, I did persuade His Royal Highness to delay, but at that time, didn't Wei Zheng say that as long as there were those thousand mysterious armors riding in Binxiang, he would definitely be able to find the other party?"
After hearing what this official said, Xu Shimu's face suddenly became a little confused.
"If he had found those black armor cavalry before, wouldn't everything have been fine? But he couldn't find them after all the hard work. This is clearly because Wei Zheng is arrogant and lacks self-awareness, which is why His Highness the Crown Prince is in this unfavorable position.
Yes, can you blame me?"
"What Wei Xima said at the time was, 'If the King of Qin really has a thousand mysterious knights in Binxiang, he will definitely find them.' But who really knows whether there are really a thousand mysterious knights?"
"
Zhao Hongzhi did not hesitate and started spraying directly.
"After all, no one has seen that Thousand Mysterious Armor except the monks of the Fahua Sect. What if that monk was bribed by King Qin or someone else and deliberately lied to deceive His Highness.
It is precisely in view of this that Wei Xima hopes that when the capital is blocked, His Highness will go to Renzhi Palace at the same time. The former is to attack and the latter is to defend. At least we can be in an invincible position..."
With that said, Zhao Hongzhi pointed at Xu Shimu again.
"But just because you, a villain, threatened His Highness, His Highness felt timid and did not dare to go to Renzhi Palace to defend himself. As a result..."
"alright!"
Hearing that the two of them were talking about his own head, Li Jiancheng, with a livid face, immediately interrupted Zhao Hongzhi's words.
"Let's not pursue things in the past. What should I do now?"
"Your Highness! Originally, the Saint was in a dilemma over whether to appoint His Highness or the King of Qin as the East Palace. If Wei Zheng really finds Xuan Jiaqi next, it will be easy to say, but if he cannot find it, it will inevitably be a trade-off."
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Xu Shimu immediately clasped his hands and fell to the ground.
"I would like to say something disrespectful. In the eyes of the saint, King Qin is still fighting for the country in the south, but His Highness is so ignorant of the overall situation. Even if the saint finally believes that His Highness does not want to rebel, I am afraid he will also want Yi Chu..."
After hearing the word "Yi Chu", Li Jiancheng's already ugly face turned even uglier!
"Don't ramble, just get to the point!"
"yes!"
Xu Shimu agreed respectfully and then said.
"For the current plan, I feel that Your Highness can only immediately use the Sixth Army of the East Palace to blockade Chang'an, control the court and the Twelve Guards Generals, and then use the name of the Political Hall to cleanse the Twelve Guards Army and remove the Twelve Guards
With the army in hand, and then let Yang Wenqian, the general manager of Gyeongju, raise troops to surround Inji Palace in the name of Qingjun, forcing the saint to abdicate, then the big thing is certain!"
"His!"
After hearing Xu Shimu's plan, Li Jiancheng took a deep breath instantly.
"But if you do this, wouldn't you be rebelling?"
"The issue is……"
Xu Shimu raised his head and said sincerely.
"Your Highness, if you don't do this now, the saint will already think that you are rebelling!"
"..."
After hearing Xu Shimu's words, Li Jiancheng was speechless and his face became uncertain.
"Xu Shimu, you have no king and no father!"
At this moment, Zhao Hongzhi jumped out decisively, pointed at him and cursed.
"What you did has not only brought injustice to the king, but also brought the king to death. His Highness the Crown Prince has no grudge against you. He has always treated you well. Why do you want to harm him like this?"
"nonsense!"
Xu Shimu also raised his head and retorted decisively.
"I am doing this all for the sake of His Highness. If Your Highness cannot take a risk now, why don't you go to Renzhi Palace and let yourself fall into disgrace? Even if Your Highness is not dead by then, if the position of the Crown Prince is replaced, given the tiger and wolf nature of King Qin,
, can we still expect that His Highness the Crown Prince will end up well in the future?"
"I won't say anything about trapping you in injustice..."
Zhao Hongzhi continued to point his finger at Xu Shimu and shouted sternly.
"I would like to ask you, how can the prince occupy Chang'an and control the court when Princess Pingyang has already controlled the Twelve Guards?"
"It is now the hot summer season, and all the Twelve Guards have dispersed to the Twelve Roads in Jingzhao to work on farming. There are less than eleven who are actually on board."
Xu Shimu seemed to have thought carefully and answered without hesitation.
"As long as His Highness and the Crown Prince suddenly launch an attack and win with more, they will definitely be able to occupy Chang'an!"
"Pooh!"
Zhao Hongzhi spat at the other party without hesitation,
"The Twelve Guards are all engaged in farming, so don't the people of the Sixth Army of the East Palace need to go to farming, right? Now, except for the left and right internal rates, the rest of the East Palace rates are also less than eleven. How can there be more?
To win?”
"Well……"
Xu Shimu was suddenly a little stunned.
Because the guards of the East Palace were usually left and right, he had always assumed that the number of the Sixth Guards in the East Palace would be full. However, he did not expect that only two Guards were full.
Zhao Hongzhi was unreasonable and continued.
"Even if we take Chang'an City by surprise, how will we control the Twelve Guards? Don't you think we can just send people out with orders and take over the guard posts everywhere?"
"Isn't Luo Yi, one of the Twelve Guards Generals, very friendly to His Highness?"
Xu Shimu also followed suit.
"Your Highness can appoint Luo Yi as the general of the Twelve Guards, and then Luo Yi will send people to take over the Twelve Guards..."
"Pooh!"
Zhao Hongzhi spat on Xu Shimu again without hesitation.
"Luo Yi is unruly and very ambitious. If all the twelve guards are handed over to him, I am afraid that Luo Yi will take the throne before the crown prince ascends the throne. In other words, you, Xu Shimu, dare to guarantee that Luo Yi Isn’t it true that Yi has absolutely no objection?”
"..."
Xu Shimu was immediately speechless.
"When we can't control the Twelve Guards and just rely on the Sixth Army of the East Palace, how can we cooperate with Yang Wenqianqingjun of Gyeongju? Have you been to Inji Palace? Do you know what it looks like there? Do you know what the saint brought when he left? Did the 30,000 elite Yuan Cong Imperial Army leave?"
"..."
"If we can't control the saint, how many of the governors in the world do you think will be on our side? If the King of Qin declares His Royal Highness a traitor at this time and launches an attack from the south, what do you think we should do? ?”
"..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After a series of questions that left Xu Shimu speechless, Zhao Hongzhi turned around again, looked at Li Jiancheng with an ugly face, and answered sincerely.
"What this villain Xu Shimu said is absolutely unacceptable. If His Highness really listens to his words, I am afraid that within ten months, not to mention the position of the Crown Prince, even His Highness's life will be at risk!"
call……
Li Jiancheng exhaled a long breath. He was still a little excited about trying, but was instantly doused by a basin of water.
"Then according to Zhao Qing's wishes, what should I do?"
"I thought..."
Zhao Hongzhi clasped his fists with both hands and fell to the ground.
"Your Highness should quickly go to Renzhi Palace, see the saint, and apologize in person!"
After hearing Zhao Hongzhi's words, Li Jiancheng's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
To be honest, he is still very resistant to going to Renzhi Palace. After all, when he hasn't found the Xuanjia Cavalry left by Erlang, there will definitely be no good results if he just goes to see Aye like this.
After seeing Li Jiancheng's face, Xu Shimu jumped out immediately.
"Zhao Hongzhi, you still said that I trapped the emperor to death. If you ask your highness to go to Renzhi Palace now, isn't it to trap the emperor to death? Now the saint has even written the word "capture and deliver". When the time comes, the prince will go to Renzhi Palace. If Zhi Gong is harmed, can you bear it?"
"I ask Your Highness to think carefully..."
Zhao Hongzhi ignored Xu Shimu and then kowtowed to Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, how many cronies do you have in the army? How many people in East Palace Six are willing to follow His Highness in raising an army? With His Highness's current strength, what are the chances of winning against Princess Pingyang in Chang'an? After occupying Chang'an, what can Your Highness do? How much money and food are needed to recruit an army? After His Highness's rebellion, how many state and county governors in the world will openly side with His Highness?
And... and the most important thing is that once Your Highness raises an army, it means giving up your righteousness to others. When the King of Qin raises an army from the south of the Yangtze River and calls on King Qin, the general manager of the world, how many people will be on the other side?"
Every time a question was asked, Li Jiancheng's face became paler. By the time Zhao Hongzhi finished speaking, Li Jiancheng's body had become shaky.
"Your Highness..."
Prince Zhongyun and Wang Gui tried to persuade him from the side.
"What Zhao Sheren said is right. Your Highness is launching an army at this time. It is absolutely impossible to succeed if you don't take advantage of the right time, place and people. In my opinion, Your Highness should go to Renzhi Palace to apologize. After all, His Highness has never thought about it.
I want to rebel, so I feel that as long as Your Highness tells the truth, the saint will probably forgive His Highness."
Li Jiancheng sighed silently again, with a look of helplessness on his face.
