Changsun Wen was still worried and said: "But my brother came to visit us so openly and told us everything about our plan. What if Chai Zhewei leaks it?"
Planning to depose the East Palace is an earth-shattering event. Once the secret is leaked in advance and the East Palace learns about it in advance, it will be a big deal.
Although the East Palace does not directly control much force, and the Sixth Army of the East Palace was hastily established, there is still half of the Youtun Guards outside the Xuanwu Gate!
With only half of the Youtun Guards, Fang Jun defeated Tuyuhun, annihilated two elite groups of Xiongnu and Arab cavalry, and defeated Ye Zide's 200,000 troops in Gongyue City. This shows that the Youtun Guards are powerful and good at fighting. Although Gao Kan is not as good as Fang
Jun's military talent is also a famous general, and the half of the Youtun Guards under his command are enough to annihilate the Guanlong clan in one fell swoop.
Changsun Chong asked back: "Who did he leak it to? When the prince ordered him to lead the army westward to guard Hexi, he refused because he was ill, so Fang Jun had to take extraordinary risks and lead half of the Youtun Guards to go on an expedition at any time and anywhere.
The misfortune of destruction has already separated from the East Palace. Once the East Palace successfully ascends the throne, the Duke of Qiao will definitely be one of the first waves of nobles to be purged. At least on the matter of deposing the East Palace, our interests are the same
of."
Changsun Wen was still worried: "I heard that Duke Qiao has a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness King Jing. What if..."
"Will King Jing go to the East Palace?"
"Uh...that's not possible."
King Jing did not support anyone. He had been stirring up trouble within the clan and was entangled with the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong. He was quite ambitious.
"Isn't it over then?"
Changsun Chong said firmly: "Our primary goal is to depose the East Palace, and supporting the King of Jin is the next step. Chai Zhewei is not a fool. He naturally understands the benefits of deposing the East Palace for him. Regardless of whether he joins us or not, on this point he
They must be happy to see the success. And whether King Jing or others, let them sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and even enjoy the success, as long as the East Palace is deposed, our eldest grandson family will be safe."
Changsun Wen was confused and very puzzled.
So what if the East Palace is deposed?
And where is His Majesty Li Er...
Changsun Chong glanced at Changsun Wen and said calmly: "Don't ask too much about this matter. In fact, I have the same doubts as you. However, this is what my father ordered. He is naturally fully prepared. We just obey orders."
That’s it.”
The eldest son Wen said hurriedly: "This is natural! My father is strategizing and calculating every plan. As sons of men, we admire him deeply and we will never dare to ruin our father's important affairs!"
Changsun Chong nodded and said: "That's right. Although I don't know what kind of plans my father has to ensure that the family will be safe and sound after deposing the East Palace, but just looking at my father's methods, I can tell that this time he put all his efforts into it and will not tolerate it.
There is a failure! If it fails, no one in the whole clan will be spared; if it succeeds, the sky will be brighter and the sea will be brighter, and the glory of the past will be repeated!"
However, Changsun Wen is not actually concerned about these things.
Previously, Changsun Chong was in exile, and Changsun Huan and Changsun Jun died successively. Changsun Yan became the natural heir of the family head. All he had to do was frame him, and then the position of the family head heir would naturally be his.
But now Changsun Chong suddenly returns to Chang'an. If his plan with his father is completely successful, he can be completely clean from now on.
Can he still be qualified as the heir to the family head?
The most important thing is, do you still have hope?
*****
Night, Prince Jing's Mansion.
In the study, Li Yuanjing secretly met with You Wenzhi. When he heard that Changsun Chong went to visit Chai Zhewei today, he exclaimed: "Is Changsun Chong back?"
"Exactly."
Li Yuanjing stroked his beard under his chin, frowning in thought.
After a long time, he asked: "Chang Sun Chong only mentioned that he had big plans, and didn't talk about anything else, nor did he lobby Chai Zhewei?"
You Wenzhi nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, Changsun Chong only mentioned planning major events, and did not even say that he wanted to depose the East Palace."
"That's fine. What's the difference between speaking out or not?"
Li Yuanjing shook his head, but he was still puzzled: "Even if the East Palace is deposed, how can Changsun Wuji avoid His Majesty's thunderous wrath?"
You Wenzhi shut up and said nothing.
Previously at the Zuotunwei camp, he and Chai Zhewei also had an analysis. They also failed to guess how Changsun Wuji would deal with the aftermath after deposing the East Palace. Simply supporting the King of Jin was obviously not enough. His Majesty Li Er would only dote on the King of Jin.
The status of the King of Jin will be recognized, but the eldest grandson family who deposed the East Palace without authorization must use thunderous means. Otherwise, how can the power of God exist?
If the Changsun family was unscathed after deposing the East Palace, and everyone will follow suit in the future, then what is the point of the emperor appointing a prince?
The emperor appointed a prince, but the ministers felt that he could not get along with him, so they staged a mutiny to depose him...
That would lead to chaos in the world.
Chai Zhewei didn't understand this problem, Li Yuanjing didn't understand it, and even brother Changsun Chong didn't understand it...
After pondering for a long time, Li Yuanjing said: "You have to follow Chai Zhewei during these days and control his every move. Although this person is timid and afraid of the enemy, he is extremely cunning. If he secretly plans to attach himself to Guanlong
We should be well aware of the situation and make preparations in advance."
You Wenzhi hesitated and asked: "When the Sun family was growing up..."
Li Yuanjing waved his hand and said: "Let them run around, it doesn't matter. I have been patient for many years, waiting for the opportunity. I thought that this opportunity would have to wait until after His Majesty's death, but now it seems that once the Changsun family gets involved in Chang'an City,
This situation may be the opportunity that I have been waiting for for many years! The more they make trouble, the more favorable the situation will be for us. Otherwise, how can we take advantage of the fire?"
Faintly, he always felt that Changsun Wuji was planning a conspiracy that would shake the world, and the purpose was definitely not just to depose the East Palace. Otherwise, with Changsun Wuji's wisdom and strategy, how could he not see what His Majesty would face after deposing the East Palace?
Thunder's Fury?
Since Changsun Wuji is confident that His Majesty's thunderous wrath will not fall on him, it means that there are still many keys hidden in the dark that others cannot see.
"Here!"
You Wenzhi agreed and discussed some details with Li Yuanjing before saying goodbye and leaving, taking advantage of the night to return to his residence and wait until dawn before returning to the Zuotunwei barracks outside Xuanwu Gate.
Although there is no curfew tonight, all city gates in Chang'an are sealed and entry and exit are strictly restricted.
After You Wenzhi left, Dong Mingyue, who was dressed in a crimson palace dress and had a graceful figure and beautiful face, walked out of the back hall, holding a cup of ginseng tea in her hand, swaying lightly with a lotus step.
Xiangfeng came to Li Yuanjing, placed the ginseng tea on the coffee table aside, and said softly: "It's getting late. Your Majesty, please take a bath and rest after drinking the ginseng tea."
Li Yuanjing laughed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the ginseng tea, then took Dong Mingyue's slender hand, pulled her petite and light body across his lap, and hugged Yingying as Dong Mingyue whispered softly.
Holding her slender waist, she said excitedly: "It's a long night, how can I go to bed early? Madam, you might as well accompany me to take a bath, so that we can be honest with each other and enjoy some fun."
"Ouch!"
Dong Mingyue's pretty face was blushing like rouge, her beautiful eyes were turning, and she couldn't hold back her shame. She took up her pink fist and lightly hammered Li Yuanjing's chest twice, and said coquettishly: "My lord! You have a noble status and high aspirations, so you should take it for granted."
If you are strict with yourself, how can you indulge in beauty? If the prince's will is weakened, I will really become a sinner for the ages!"
"Ha ha!"
Li Yuanjing climbed the mountain with a big hand in search of victory and said, "Did you hear what You Wenzhi said just now?"
Speaking of business, Dong Mingyue held down the big hand that was trying to get into her lapel, struggled to do it, supported Li Yuanjing's shoulder with one hand, and said softly: "The prince does not shy away from me, so naturally I heard it true. The prince thinks that the eldest grandson
Is it possible that the family will be successful?"
Li Yuanjing withdrew his hand and instead hugged the beauty's slender waist, and said slowly: "It is extremely possible. At present, the garrisons in various places in Guanzhong are not full. During the Eastern Expedition, they were mobilized from various places, so their combat power will inevitably be weak. And the Guanlong clan has always supported them.
Private soldiers have broken out. It is not difficult to raise an army of more than 10,000 people. Moreover, many of these garrison troops are entangled with the Guanlong clan. No one can say how many people will be attached to the Guanlong clan.
, and entered Chang'an City."
The beauty handed the tea cup to her mouth, and Li Yuanjing took another sip of ginseng tea from the beauty's hand, and continued: "The only army that the East Palace can fully control is the Sixth Army of the East Palace, but the Sixth Army of the East Palace was in the hands of the prince not long ago. After reorganization
, I'm afraid they don't have much combat power. The right guard is loyal to the prince, but there is only half of the army left, less than 20,000 people. Chai Zhewei's left guard only needs to stand still, how can the right guard dare to leave the Xuanwu Gate without authorization? So only Chai Zhewei is determined.
If you go to Guanlong, this will definitely happen."
