When it was nearly midnight, Zuo Tunwei lit up the night sky outside the Xuanwu Gate of Chang'an City with a fire. The entire Chang'an was under martial law and the soldiers were at war with each other, as if a powerful enemy had invaded. However, Li Yuanjing was relieved, laughed, high-fived and praised: "
What a risk, what a risk! Fortunately, I laid such a chess piece back then, otherwise what happened today would have been difficult to end."
Dong Mingyue's beautiful eyes sparkled, full of admiration: "Your Majesty is the wisest man in the world!"
"Eh!"
Even Li Yuanjing blushed a little at the praise of "the wisest man in the world" and said humbly and contentedly: "It's just a matter of saying this at home. If outsiders heard it, wouldn't it make them laugh out loud? Not to mention.
The humerus of these two majesties is that they are rare wise men in the world. They are the Song Dynasty Duke who has been in the imperial family for three dynasties and the British Duke who is cautious and capable. Which one is not an outstanding person in the world? I am not only
Incomparable to them, even Cheng Yaojin, who looks like a demon king, is also a genius..."
Dong Mingyue covered her lips and smiled, her eyes as charming as silk: "Your Majesty is really very generous and humble."
Li Yuanjing was humble again, and finally dissipated the anxiety in his heart, and sighed: "It's not that the royal palace is insufficient, but that the Zuo Tun Guards are really important. Now there are only two left and right Tun Guards left in Guanzhong to guard Xuanwu Gate.
The military guards of the imperial palace are all full. If we can hold the Zuotun guards in our hands, our chances of winning will be greatly increased. But if we fail to control them, one will wax and wane, and our troops will be too weak.
To achieve something, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky... But fortunately, God has paid off, and a chess piece buried in the early years has now played a role that is enough to reverse Qian Kun. It can be seen that this king is also blessed by God, and is somewhat gifted by God.
True destiny!"
At this moment, anxiety and sorrow are gone, replaced by unparalleled ambition!
It was as if the throne of the emperor was already vacant, and he only had to wait for him to overcome all obstacles and seize it, so that he could become the destined emperor of the world...
Dong Mingyue poured tea with bare hands and reminded softly: "If nothing happens, there will be a lot of embarrassment in the political hall tomorrow morning. Duke Qiao has become a target, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape. If the prince wants to take full advantage of him,
Tomorrow is a good opportunity."
Li Yuanjing suddenly woke up, raised his forehead, and said: "Thanks to my beloved concubine for reminding me, otherwise I almost missed the big event!"
It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when it's time.
Chai Zhewei has always been a relative of the emperor and a general in charge of the army. How many benefits can he promise for a mere prince to impress Chai Zhewei? Now is a good opportunity. When Chai Zhewei is surrounded by enemies and has no choice, if he can give him enough support
, how could Chai Zhewei not shed tears of gratitude and submit it to his disciples with sincerity, willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses?
"Haha, my beloved concubine is indeed my king's virtuous wife! My beloved concubine's assistance to my king is nothing less than the 'house planner' beside His Majesty!"
Dong Mingyue's pretty face turned red, she was embarrassed, and she refused: "Why would the prince take pleasure in the slave family? Both Fang and Du are outstanding among people, geniuses that have not been seen in a century. The slave family is just a generation of women with a wandering life, how dare they be compared with them? What if?
If outsiders knew about it, they would probably laugh out loud. Moreover, the slave family is favored by the prince, and after wandering for many years, she finally met her beloved husband. I only hope to serve the prince with a spoon in my hands, and I will have no regrets in this life."
Li Yuanjing was filled with emotions.
No matter how hard-hearted a man is, when such a charming woman speaks such words so tenderly in front of you, how can he not turn into a soft-spoken woman?
What's more, the "secret spy" power behind Dong Mingyue plays a great role in his great cause...
*****
After Pei Xingjian, General Xin Mao and others left, Chai Zhewei commanded a group of soldiers to finally put out the fire. The collapsed beams had been burned black, and everything in the house was turned into black ashes.
Chai Zhewei's worries were slightly relieved, but he could not relax his eyebrows.
After all, it is a serious crime to find loopholes in the account books, but burning the account books to resist inspection in such a violent way cannot escape the sanction of the law. Although Guanzhong is in urgent need of stability at the moment, the imperial court will also treat a general like him a lot.
You Rong, but who knows if his actions have aroused the alarm of some people, so they pursue and beat him fiercely, in order to deprive him of his military power and seize his title?
You Wenzhi was on the side directing the soldiers to clean up the mess. When he saw Chai Zhewei frowning, he stepped forward to comfort him and said: "The matter has come to this, why should the commander be worried and anxious? As the saying goes, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, the commander has military power in his hands, and
He is a relative of the emperor. Is it possible that he can throw the general into a prison and take away his military power and title? If this is really the case, there is no need for others to object, and the royal family alone will not agree. "
Chai Zhewei was puzzled for a moment: "Where are my allies among the royal family?"
As he spoke, he thought of King Jing Li Yuanjing.
But strictly speaking, Li Yuanjing just wants to use himself. At best, the two of them can be said to each get what they need. If things go well for him, Li Yuanjing will naturally not hesitate to support him in various ways. But now that he is facing a huge crisis, Li Yuanjing still
Will you stand up to support yourself?
You Wenzhi said: "The commander-in-chief must not understand the character of King Jing... Everyone knows that Emperor Gaozu's direct sons are as good as Prince Yin, Prince Yuanji of Qi is brave and good at fighting, and His Majesty is a man of martial virtue who is unparalleled in the world...
However, King Jing has always been hidden under the light of his brother, but he can still achieve great prestige. Everyone knows that he relies on his unparalleled loyalty. At this moment, King Jing is relying on the commander-in-chief, and they have friendship with each other. How can he
Seeing the commander-in-chief being framed and suppressed by the prince's group, but doing nothing? As long as the commander-in-chief can delay for a moment, the royal family will speak out for the commander-in-chief."
Chai Zhewei said suspiciously: "King Jing's loyalty is unparalleled? Although I have no prejudice against King Jing and even admire him quite a lot, I have never known that there is such a comment."
You Wenzhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. As the prince whose status is second only to your Majesty in the royal family, how can Prince Jing dare to show his true nature? That is a recipe for trouble. But the role of the commander-in-chief is extremely important to Prince Jing.
I’m sure I won’t stand idly by.”
Chai Zhewei felt that what he said had some truth, but he was still worried: "But Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the royal family's children, and the current Dazongzheng is King Han. His Highness is Fang Jun's brother-in-law. How can we allow King Jing to object?"
No sound?"
"Haha, King Han is naturally Fang Jun's brother-in-law, but he has never been a supporter of the prince. So once there is strong dissatisfaction within the royal family, King Han may not deliberately suppress the commander-in-chief in order to cooperate with the prince's line, which will cause his own prestige
Damaged.”
You Wenzhi is confident and talks eloquently.
Chai Zhewei frowned and remained silent.
Although I feel unsure, at this point, apart from hoping that King Jing can really work hard to protect himself, who else can I place my hope in?
Just as Fang Jun once said, "Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit." It is the eternal law of officialdom to favor the popular and suppress the unfavorable. No one will get into great trouble for one person.
At the risk of being deprived of military power, those who seize the title are desperate to speak up regardless of the cost.
In addition, I can only hope that the prince really has some kind of womanly kindness, that he can remember the brother-sister relationship with Princess Baling, and even remember his mother's love and protection for him in the past, and that he can overcome all opinions and open up to himself.
one side……
A burst of noise and panic behind him woke Chai Zhewei out of his deep thoughts. Just as he was about to scold him, he turned around and saw Li Junxian, the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", with his helmet on and a group of "Hundred Cavalry Division" masters rushing in majestically.
In the camp, the Zuotun guards did not dare to stop him, so they could only stand around and yell at him.
The status of "Hundred Knights" is too special. They are His Majesty's minions. Where else in the world can they go except the harem?
Chai Zhewei, with a face like the bottom of a pot, looked at Li Junxian who had come out of the crowd, and asked in a cold voice: "General, what are you doing here?"
Li Junxian had no expression on his face, slightly cupped his hands, and then said loudly: "Your Highness has decreed that due to the fire in Zuotunwei, which caused shock to the capital, he ordered Dali Temple, Punishment Department, Weiwei Temple, Zongzheng Temple and other yamen to conduct a strict investigation and find out the original reason.
.In order to prevent anyone from destroying evidence and colluding with each other to confess, the Duke of Qingqiao immediately returned to the city and lived in his mansion. He will wait until early tomorrow morning to go to the political hall to defend himself."
The surrounding soldiers were all shocked. Although they all knew that the fire had caused the entire city of Chang'an to be on tenterhooks, the four yamen of Dali Temple, Punishment Department, Weiwei Temple, and Zongzheng Temple were jointly investigating. This was simply a major case.
!
The treatment is not much worse than the treatment in the treason case...
