After the servant left, Princess Changle said in surprise: "Brother Prince, why is this?"
If you come to report and expose yourself, you only need to send someone to Changsun's house to pick up someone. Why is it so solemn and nervous, and also requires "Hundred Cavalry Division" to take action?
Li Chengqian waved his hand, with a gloomy and solemn expression, and said slowly: "This matter is very involved. Changsun Chong had killed thousands of elite soldiers in Pingrang City before, but there was no news after that. At this time, they all suddenly sneaked back to Chang'an. There must be something secretly there.
The picture cannot be taken lightly."
"Hundred Qisi" is responsible for maintaining the imperial power. His Majesty Li Er has always suppressed it, making its development extremely limited. Therefore, once it leaves Chang'an City, "Hundred Qisi" will not be of much use. This is Li Er
Your Majesty cannot impose restrictions on this violent institution, and cannot let it go unchecked, otherwise it will suffer backlash.
Recently, the "Hundred Cavalry Division" has repeatedly reported that the secret whereabouts of the Guanlong families in Chang'an City seem to be planning something big, and they are constantly connected with each other...
Previously, I was just worried that the Guanlong clan might plan a mutiny, so I took multiple precautions and took extra precautions.
However, now that it is known that Chang Sun Chong secretly sneaked back to Chang'an, it is almost certain that the Guanlong clan planned a mutiny, and the person who planned and organized it must be Chang Sun Chong.
Only the eldest son of the Changsun family can command the Guanlong families with such weight...
The situation in Guanzhong is about to turn into a storm and the flames of war are rising!
Princess Changle was at a loss for a moment. She was just reporting and exposing Changsun Chong. How could she be involved in something bigger?
Li Chengqian saw that she was a little uneasy, so he comforted her with gentle words: "Don't worry, sister, no matter what, I will deal with this traitor severely this time, and I will never let him go unpunished again. It's cold today, and it's already late.
You are about to return to the palace, so stay overnight in Xingqing Palace and let the Crown Princess accompany you."
He had always felt sorry for this sister, and knowing that she had been harassed by Changsun Chong today, he must have felt uneasy, so he thought of keeping her so that Crown Princess Su could find some relief.
Princess Changle was about to speak when she saw Li Junxian, who was wearing a full armor, already striding inside. He came to the palace and bowed in greeting, saying: "I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "General, please take a seat."
"Here."
Li Junxian responded and sat on a chair beside him. Because he was wearing armor, he just sat there in vain.
Princess Changle then stood up and said to Li Chengqian: "Then I will go to the back hall to chat with my sister-in-law first. The prince and brother are busy with other matters."
Li Chengqian had a doting look on his face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, just don't worry."
Li Junxian stood up and saluted: "Best farewell to Your Highness!"
Princess Changle nodded slightly at him and moved lightly towards the back hall.
Li Junxian waited until Princess Changle disappeared at the door of the apse, and then she straightened up and took her seat. Unexpectedly, just as she took her seat, she heard Li Chengqian say slowly: "Changsun Chong has sneaked back to Guanzhong, and is now in Chang'an City.
Did the general know?"
Li Junxian's butt had just touched the chair when he heard the words and was so frightened that he stood up like a spring with a look of surprise on his face: "Where did your highness get the news? The general has no idea at all!"
If this was true, it would be really hard for him to explain it.
He was in charge of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" and monitored the entire city to protect the imperial power, but he didn't even know that Chang Sun Chong had sneaked back. This was an extremely serious dereliction of duty.
What's more, if His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that he is incompetent, that's all. But if it is believed that he knew the matter but deliberately concealed it, then he is not far away from death...
Li Chengqian waved his hands and said calmly: "Earlier, Changsun Chong actually ran to Zhongnan Mountain to meet Changle, and his words were extremely disrespectful, which is really hateful."
Li Junxian knew that this matter must be true, and quickly knelt down on one knee, pleading guilty and saying: "The general neglected his duty, and the thief sneaked back into the pass without knowing it. It is really a crime worthy of death. I sincerely ask Your Highness to remove the general from his post. , willing to be punished without any complaints."
In fact, speaking of it, he himself was very frustrated.
The title of "Hundred Cavalry Division" sounds very majestic, and its duty is to "protect the imperial power." He is the number one eagle dog lackey under the emperor's command. He is supposed to run rampant and make everyone in the government and the public look bad.
In fact, this is absolutely not the case.
His Majesty Li Er took the throne unfairly. Even today, there are still many people in the government and the public who are dissatisfied with the rule and are against His Majesty openly or covertly. Therefore, Your Majesty needs the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to monitor hundreds of officials, find out information, and eliminate all dangers that may subvert the imperial power. In the bud.
However, His Majesty Li Er also understands that once the power of "Hundred Qisi" is too great, it is easy to become a tiger and wolf that chooses and devours people. While helping himself to consolidate imperial power, he can also disrupt the court and do evil, so for "Hundred Qisi" One of the precautions was to repeatedly restrict the power of the "Hundred Qisi" and not allow it to penetrate beyond Guanzhong.
In this way, it is like a ferocious beast being put in a bit. While it cannot arbitrarily choose people to devour, it also limits the ability of "Hundred Knights".
However, since His Majesty personally conquered the country and the Crown Prince took charge of the country, the court situation has been ups and downs, and great changes have occurred frequently. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regarded "Hundred Cavalry Si" as a capable assistant and entrusted him with important tasks. However, "Hundred Cavalry Si" had limited abilities and was in a hurry. How can time penetrate into those sects in Guanlong that have been passed down for hundreds or even hundreds of years?
But failing to play a role at the critical moment, failing to relieve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's worries, and making no contribution to the stability of the country, is undoubtedly a crime of dereliction of duty.
To be honest, if it were a cruel and violent prince, it would be ordinary to behead Li Junxian to vent his anger at this moment...
Fortunately, Li Chengqian was kind and kind. When he saw Li Junxian's panicked look, he quickly comforted him: "General, there is no need to be like this. Guanlong has a long heritage and deep-rooted power. How can the 'Baiqisi' want to fight in a hurry? Guqing The general is here to discuss how to act, not to ask for guilt. I would like to ask the general to rest assured and take a seat quickly."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness!"
Li Junxian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and took his seat, and said, "Do I need the general to immediately lead his troops to blockade Zhao Guogong's mansion and enter to capture Changsun Chong?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "This is inevitable. This beast committed the crime of treason first, and the Seven Star Gate of Pingrang City caused thousands of soldiers to be buried in a sea of fire. His crime should be punished and cannot be forgiven! But more importantly, it is What is Changsun Chong planning to sneak back to Chang'an this time? How many people are involved, and by what means will he achieve his goal?"
A series of questions made Li Junxian silent.
The Guanlong Clan has been making frequent moves recently, and its intention to launch a mutiny has been revealed, but there is no conclusive evidence yet. Under such a situation, the prince can only strengthen precautions, but cannot preemptively strike before there is conclusive evidence.
After all, the prince is not the emperor, and he cannot "kill without teaching", let alone send troops to kill the other party without any sign of resistance. If that is the case, it is justifiable for the Guanlong clan to launch a mutiny later, and Li Chengqian will have to bear the "merit of massacre"
"The crime of "troubling the imperial court" will even lead to chaos in the world and war, and it will lead to eternal infamy!
It is easy to capture Changsun Chong. Since we know that this person is in Zhao Guogong's mansion, we can just break in and capture him. The question is what position does Changsun Chong occupy in this plan of Guan Long Clan? Once Changsun Chong is captured, what will happen to him?
Did all the plans of the Guanlong Clan come to an abrupt end, or did it actually make them frightened and start in advance?
Li Junxian thought about it for a long time and then said: "It's not that the general is unwilling to die for His Highness, but this matter is really of great importance. From the general's point of view, it is safe to summon all the important officials from the East Palace to work together."
This was indeed a prudent move, but Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "But once the news leaks out and Changsun Chong absconds in fear of crime, wouldn't things be even worse?"
Don't say "Since you are in Chang'an, there is no way to escape." Chang'an City is not only the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Chang'an City of Guanlong. Guanlong's ancestors have been here for dozens of hundreds of years.
The power has already penetrated into all aspects of Chang'an City. Li Chengqian dared to pat his chest and guarantee that even if he sent troops to surround Zhao Guogong's mansion at this moment, Changsun Chong would definitely go to heaven and earth and disappear without a trace in less than half an hour.
Guanlongmen Valve has such ability...
The important ministers of the East Palace seem to be willing to die for the East Palace, but their backgrounds are complicated and their interests are deeply entangled. It would not be surprising if the East Palace falls and they suddenly become Guan Long's guests, or even become the hawks and lackeys of the Jin Palace.
People's hearts are unpredictable. Except for Fang Jun and other ministers who helped him when he was at the end of his rope, who else can be completely trusted?
If you foolishly treat everyone as a loyal minister who can take care of your wife and children, then you will die without a burial...
Therefore, it seems that the situation is clear, and the hidden dangers can be eliminated by arresting Chang Sun Chong. In fact, it is quite dangerous and dangerous. The so-called one-touch move can affect the whole body. The most important thing is that Chang Sun Chong will occupy the position in this Guanlong plan.
What kind of status is it? Is it to be a liaison in the middle, or is it to command the heroes?
