Chapter 632: Your Royal Highness, you need the help of Zuo Youxian, the poor Daoist
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A series of cheerful laughter flew out from the hall of Prince Qin's Mansion.
"Feng Deyi, this old dog, is just like what Qingwei said. After becoming the minister's right servant, he regretted it. It really brought out the bad breath in Gu's heart!"
At this time, King Qin Li Shimin, who was sitting at the head of the hall, had a bright smile on his face, and he was in a very happy mood.
"But this matter is not over yet, Yi Zhen, you give me... Yi Zhen..."
After shouting twice but no one answered, Li Shimin turned his head and stared at a certain demon king sitting on the side, as if he was wandering in the sky.
"Cheng Yaojin, didn't you hear Gu calling you?"
"ah!"
Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting in his seat, stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Seeing the confused look on the other person's face, Li Shimin helplessly wiped his face with his hand.
"Yaojin, Gu plans to ask you to find Sanniangzi... Forget it, this matter is not too urgent. You should go to Qingdu to find Qingwei. Let's just say that Gu plans to recommend Feng Deyi as a broom star and ask him to replace Gu. Give Laojun a watch..."
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin cupped his fists and agreed without hesitation.
"I'll be there in a moment."
After arranging Cheng Yaojin's affairs, Li Shimin continued with a serious face.
"Since I have decided to work together with you to achieve great things and become the emperor of Tianping, military power is naturally indispensable. And the most elite troops in our Datang Dynasty are the Twelve Guards Army stationed in Jingzhao. As long as these troops can be collected, If you put it in your pocket, great things will happen."
As he spoke, Li Shimin looked around the hall.
"Some time ago, Gu arranged for Junji to secretly inquire about some information about the Twelve Guards Generals to determine who are our own, who are enemies, and who can be fought for. Junji, please tell us about the situation. Let others tell me!"
"yes!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Hou Junji, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall, immediately stood up.
"First of all, General Dou Dan, who is stationed at Wannian Road, seems to be on the side of the prince. According to his servants..."
"Dou's birthday is nothing to worry about!"
Before Hou Junji could finish his first sentence, he was interrupted by Changsun Wuji, who was in charge.
"It's hard to say whether the Banner Army will listen to him or to Princess Pingyang now. You'd better say someone else!"
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Hou Junji was at a loss for a moment. He didn't know whether he should follow his own plan and continue talking about Dou Dan's matters, or follow Changsun Wuji's words and skip Dou Dan and talk about other people's matters.
"Auxiliary engine!"
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Hou Junji below, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said to Changsun Wuji in an angry tone.
"Jun Ji is talking about Dou Dan. Why are you talking about Sanniangzi? And if you have anything to say, can't you wait until Jun Ji finishes his sentence before interrupting?"
Although Changsun Wuji dared to show off to Hou Junji, he was still very respectful when facing Li Shimin.
"Yes, I know!"
"Junji..."
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji with approval and continued.
"You can continue talking, but there is no need to talk about Dou Dan. There is no use trying to fight for that guy."
"yes!"
Hou Junji glanced at Li Shimin with grateful eyes, and then continued.
"The Drum Flag General stationed on Chang'an Road is Yang Gongren, the Minister of Civil Affairs. According to the words of some of his subordinates, even in private, Yang Shangshu praises His Highness the King of Qin very much and can be regarded as one of ours."
"Is not this nonsensical?"
Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting at the top, muttered quietly.
"Even if you don't ask, we know that Yang Shangshu is one of our own!"
Hou Junji pretended not to hear what Cheng Yaojin said and continued to introduce.
"The general of the Xuange Army stationed on Fuping Road is Li Shentong, King of Huai'an. He is extremely cautious in his palace. He doesn't talk about anything about the prince and the King of Qin except for his sensuality. So it is not yet sure which direction he is leaning towards.
side……"
"Don't worry about this!"
Li Shimin waved his hand confidently.
"The reporter in Shentong Mansion is Linghu Defen, so Gu knows him very well, and he will definitely be on Gu's side. You can tell me what's next!"
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Hou Junji skipped Li Shentong and started talking about the next one.
"General Jingyue Liu Hongji..."
"What can Liu Hongji say? Isn't he a die-hard one of our own?"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand above and said to Hou Junji.
"There is no need to mention Sun Shunde, General Qiguan, just talk about the others directly!"
After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Hou Junji stopped again and looked at Qin King Li Shimin with tentative eyes. Li Shimin nodded at him and motioned for him to continue.
Hou Junji nodded silently, raised the document in his hand, and read aloud.
"General Yulin Zhang Jin was one of the seven nobles of the former Sui Dynasty. Because of his old relationship with the saint, he was able to serve in our court. When he talked about His Highness in private, he used many disrespectful words and could not be won over. Although General Fan Shixing of Tianjie made a show of speaking to me
It seems that they are not in contact with each other, but his title and merits are obtained from His Highness and can be fought for;
General Zhewei Yang Mao is a confidant of the saint, but he has great wealth and can be fought for; General Wang Changxie of Tianji is also a confidant of the saint. Although he has been sent by the saint many times to protect Prince Jiancheng, he is never far or close to the East Palace, so he can
strive for; strive for;
Although General Qian Jiulong of Yuanyou was only granted the title of Duke during the Prince's Peace in Hebei last year, he had been following His Highness the King of Qin before and could be fought for; General Luo Yi of Tianjie appeared to be neutral on the surface.
, but in fact he has quietly surrendered to the prince and cannot be fought for."
Having said this, Hou Junji paused for a moment and then continued.
"Apart from the people above, the most troublesome one right now is actually General Pingdao and Huo Guogong Chai Shao. Originally he should be from our side, but now it's hard to tell which side he is from!"
After hearing Hou Junji's words, the faces of the people present in Tiance Mansion suddenly showed expressions of embarrassment.
Although from a rational point of view, their Tiance Mansion is now tied to Qingwei, from an emotional point of view, they are still unwilling to push Chai Shao, who has always been very close to them, into the position of their enemy.
"Indeed, Chai Shao is indeed a problem now!"
…
Just when the group of civil servants and generals in Tiance Mansion were sitting together, plotting how to win over these powerful military ministers, an old man wearing clothes made of bird feathers, a black hat, and a frosty beard held in his hand
A pear stick, swaggeringly led by the Yufeng Mountain God, walked into the gate of the East Palace.
Behind the Yufeng Mountain God and the old man, there was also a Taoist priest and two Taoist boys wearing a green Taoist robe, carrying a sword on his back, with three long beards, and an air of immortality.
Just when they arrived at Jiade Gate, they saw Li Jiancheng, who had a cheerful expression on his face and put on the Corporal Li Xian emoji again, already standing in front of the door waiting for him.
"This must be the great sage of the late Han Dynasty that Mr. Yufeng mentioned to Gu, Yu Ji, right..."
When he saw this old man who was dressed in a strange way and looked like a worldly expert at first glance, Li Jiancheng burst into laughter and bowed his hands.
"It's so polite!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this..."
For Li Jiancheng to greet him directly in front of the door so respectfully, the old man's face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.
"The old and decayed body is nothing more than a dead body. How dare you be the Crown Prince and come to greet him in person?"
"Respect the sages, it should be... it should be!"
Facing the old man's humility, Li Jiancheng was even more enthusiastic. After the two sides gave in for a while, Li Jiancheng finally set his sights on the Taoist priest behind them with immortal style and Taoism.
"May I ask who this immortal is?"
"Your Highness!"
After hearing what Li Jiancheng said, the Yufeng Mountain God on the side quietly tugged on his sleeves and winked at him.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's chat somewhere else later!"
"good!"
Although he didn't know why the Yufeng Mountain God said this, Li Jiancheng got off the slope and enthusiastically moved these people towards the side hall next to the Jiade Hall behind him.
"Taoist Master Yu Ji, please come this way!"
A few minutes later, a group of people entered the side hall at Li Jiancheng's invitation. After the guests and hosts took their seats, Li Jiancheng waved to the maids and maids on the side.
"There is nothing for you to do here, go down!"
"yes!"
After all the maids and maids around him had left, Li Jiancheng turned his attention to the Yufeng Mountain God aside, asking him to explain the situation just now.
"Let Pindao explain this matter himself!"
After seeing Li Jiancheng's inquiring gaze, the Taoist priest with three locks of beard and an immortal spirit stood up, clasped his hands in his fists, and bowed to Li Jiancheng again.
"The reason why Brother Yufeng stopped His Highness the Crown Prince just now was because Pindao's identity was somewhat shady and could not be disclosed in public. And when they met for the first time, Pindao did not want to deceive him with lies.
That’s all!”
"oh……"
Li Jiancheng looked at the Taoist priest in front of him with some doubts and asked.
"Then may I ask, Master Immortal, who are you? Why do you say you can't see the light?"
"The poor Taoist's surname is Zuo and his given name is Youxian!"
The Taoist priest raised his head and said proudly.
"As for why he can't be seen in the light, it's naturally because Pindao once helped Fugong Er with some small things, so he was wanted by Li Shentong!"
"What!"
After hearing what the Taoist priest said, Li Jiancheng was so frightened that he stood up from his seat.
"Are you the Zuo Youxian who was the right-hand man of Fu Gong'er's rebellion?"
"good!"
The Taoist priest nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Pindao is the Zuo Youxian who assisted Fu Gong'er to unify Jianghuai..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness!"
After seeing Li Jiancheng's actions, the Yufeng Mountain God on the side quickly stood up and stood between him and Zuo Youxian, and then whispered to Li Jiancheng.
"Zhenren Zuo came to the East Palace this time with the intention of defecting to you, the Crown Prince!"
After hearing these words from Yufeng Mountain God, Li Jiancheng finally calmed down, but he looked in the direction of Zuo Youxian and still said to Yufeng Mountain God with some doubts.
"Mr. Yufeng, although this Zuo... real person is powerful, he is after all the instigator of Fugong's surrender and rebellion. Wouldn't it be bad if he was kept alone?"
"Actually, it's nothing..."
Yufeng Mountain God replied to Li Jiancheng in a low voice.
"On the battlefield, everyone is just his own master. He could do his best to help Fu Gong'er in the past, and now he can also do his best to help you, Your Highness. Besides..."
As he spoke, Yufeng Mountain God lowered his voice.
"Now, Your Highness, you still have something to ask him for!"
"Ask him if you have anything to do."
Li Jiancheng asked back with a puzzled look.
"whats the matter?"
"Of course it's a matter of Divine Sword Shuang Mourning..."
Zuo Youxian straightened up and pointed at his face with a proud expression.
"Your Highness, to be honest, Pindao had already obtained the whereabouts of the Divine Sword Shuangwei from the Divine Lord Yu Ji more than ten years ago, and he personally came to Zhongnan Mountain to search for more than a year. So, Your Highness, if you
It’s okay if you don’t want to get that divine sword. If you want to get it, you will definitely need Pindao’s help.”
