Sun Renshi's plan to attack Jinguang Gate is similar to the one when Cao Cao burned Wuchao. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had great favor and trust in Xu You, and he received many favors and rewards, making him a confidant under Cao Cao's account.
Fang Jun also used this metaphor to say that he would not treat Sun Renshi lightly.
Master Sun Ren was in high spirits, and before he could speak, Cen Changqian on the side had already put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "This incident will definitely become a good story in the future, but General Sun is not the arrogant and ignorant Xu Ziyuan, and the commander is not Cao Mengde, the traitor in troubled times!
"
Fang Jun was startled and realized that he had said the wrong thing and glanced at Cen Changqian, who was thinking quickly.
Xu You did help Cao Cao achieve great achievements, and Cao Cao treated him well. However, Xu You later relied on his military achievements and expanded his interests. He repeatedly made fun of Cao Cao. Every time he attended, regardless of the occasion, he called Cao Cao by his nickname, saying: "Ah
Hi, without me, you can't get Jizhou." Cao Cao smiled on the surface and said, "You're right." But he naturally had a secret grudge in his heart.
In the end, Xu Chu figured out Cao Cao's thoughts and found a reason to kill Xu You...
However, Cao Cao "held the emperor hostage to order the princes" and was regarded as a traitor in troubled times. The situation at that time was somewhat similar to the current situation - once the East Palace reversed defeat and won, Fang Jun was the most important contributor to the East Palace, and the prince also helped him
Listening to what is said may not necessarily breed the desire of a powerful minister.
Although the prince may not believe it, as long as someone tells the story of today's events in an exaggerated and jealous manner, and mentions that Fang Jun relies on his military achievements and compares himself to Cao Cao, it is difficult to guarantee that the prince will not become wary.
After all, the profession of human emperor is inherently insecure and cannot fully trust anyone...
Therefore, Fang Jun nodded to Cen Changqian with great approval and affirmed his actions: Young man, the road is broad and there is a bright future.
The action that was originally a narrow escape was now able to not only ensure that the mission was completed more perfectly, but also add a bit of insurance for the dead soldiers to escape. Everyone was in high spirits.
Fang Jun waved his hand: "Without further delay, Cheng Wuting and Sun Renshi will lead the team and start tonight!"
"Here!"
All the generals in the tent responded with a roar.
*****
In Chang'an City, Prince Qi's Mansion.
Two county princes' mansions in Qunxianfang caught fire at the same time, and after the news that the two princes, King Bohai and King Longxi, were assassinated on their beds, reached the Prince of Qi's mansion, King Li You of Qi felt bad...
In the flower hall, the rain was gurgling outside the window, and Li You's mood was even more messy than the rain.
"It's over, it's over, it's over this time..."
He kept walking back and forth in the hall, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Yin Hongzhi sat aside, frowning, and said comfortingly: "Things may not have reached that level. We just need to strengthen the security in the mansion. I don't think there will be anything wrong."
"Not that far yet?!"
Li You stopped, glared at his uncle, and said in a sharp voice: "Don't you know what kind of temper the prince is? He is the most benevolent of a woman. He is so weak that he would not even dare to kill a chicken, but now he is right
The two princes were obviously forced to kill each other! Those two idiots were just colluding with the Guanlong clan to steal the inside and outside. I clearly issued the edict and planned to usurp the throne. This is a life-or-death feud.
!The next one is my turn. With the ability of 'Hundred Qisi', I will have to keep one eye open when I sleep tonight."
Yin Hongzhi remained silent.
Li You was furious and complained: "I should not have agreed to Changsun Wuji's position in the first place. Is it so easy to take the position of crown prince? As a result, my uncle tried to persuade him again and again, saying that it was the right time for a man to make contributions, but what about now? What about Changsun Wuji?
He aggressively gathered an army of more than 100,000 people with the intention of overthrowing the East Palace, but was beaten by the second house and lost his armor and troops. Now we are seeing the two sides are about to succeed in peace talks... Do you know what will happen to me once the peace talks are achieved? "
Yin Hongzhi let out a long sigh, feeling ashamed and not daring to say anything.
If the East Palace is destroyed, Li You will naturally be the successor prince. In the future, with the support of Guan Long, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor. He will be the supreme in the world and have boundless prestige. His uncle can also ascend to heaven, become a Duke of the country, and stand on the Tai Chi Palace. At the forefront of the class.
But if Guanlong is defeated, or even just peace talks, then Qi Wang Li You, who once issued an edict to replace the crown prince, will become the biggest villain, the kind who must die...
Although the prince wanted to crush him to ashes, Guan Long also wanted to give an explanation to the East Palace. How could Li You still have any chance of survival? In order to shirk responsibility, Guan Long simply put all the charges on Li You, saying that he conspired to tamper. , raising an army to fight for the reserve... That is no longer a matter of death or death. Even the Yin concubine in the palace will be implicated. Sending people to the cold palace as slaves is considered a prince's kindness. A glass of poisonous wine, three feet of white silk, is Ordinary.
It was clear that the situation was very good, and he was about to assist King Qi to ascend to the throne. How could it suddenly take a turn for the worse and reach such a stage in the blink of an eye?
Li You vented his complaints and knew that even killing Yin Hongzhi would not help at this moment, so he paced back and forth with an anxious expression: "No, no, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must come up with a way to escape. I, the king I don’t want to die…”
The impending disaster made his already frivolous character even more anxious.
Yin Hongzhi stroked his beard and said: "It's not completely helpless. Two county kings were assassinated. The Guanlong army in the city was constantly mobilized to round up the murderers. Although the security was tighter than before, in fact there were more opportunities, not necessarily There will be no loopholes to be found.”
Li You was stunned for a moment, then cheered up. He sat next to Yin Hongzhi and was about to speak. Suddenly his mind changed and he shook his head and said: "If you just run away like this, you will inevitably be charged with 'conspiracy to usurp the throne.' , isn’t this king just an imperial prisoner?”
Yin Hongzhi was speechless: "Life is more important or what's next to you? Your Highness, it's time to cut it off! Right now, the Guanlongmen clan is mobilizing grain and fodder from all over the country to the capital, and they are all hoarding it outside the Jinguang Gate. These days, ships are constantly entering the city to provide supplies to everyone. I am here to transport grain and fodder. I have some friendship with the water transport agency. If I spend some money to buy a few water boats, I will be able to sneak out of the city at night. There are countless financial reports in the house, so we will bring more than ten close guards with us, and no one else will care. The world is so big, where can I go? If I can't be a prince, I can just hide my name and become a rich man."
Li You pulled his hair and said angrily: "How big is the world? Haha, come on, come on, uncle, tell me, how big is the world? Mobei is under the rule of the Hanhai Protectorate, and the Western Region is under the Western Region Protectorate. Under the rule, all the countries in Nanyang and East are under the control of the navy. Now even Goguryeo has been destroyed by the navy... Is it possible that I want to go all the way west to Dashi? Even in Dashi, there are many Han people now. Merchant, where did the king go? Did he really go into the ravines without seeing anyone? As long as it is known, the Anxi army will array at the border, and then the court will write a document to eat the country. Do you think the caliph of the food country will risk the risk of war? Are you trying to protect me? I’m afraid you won’t kidnap me immediately and give it to the Anxi Army!”
Yin Hongzhi was stunned.
Counting with his fingers, it is indeed as Li You said. The world is so big, but the military power of the Tang Dynasty has already conquered the world. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to find a place that is difficult for the Tang army to reach...
There is nowhere to run.
Li You added: "What's more, I am self-aware and a person who is used to enjoying things. If I were to really go into a ravine and never see anyone for the rest of my life, it would be better to just die happily."
Thinking of him, Li You is a noble prince, a noble man in the sky, with rich clothes and fine food, delicacies since childhood, servants like rain, and beautiful maids like clouds. How can he endure the pain of anonymity?
That would be worse than killing him.
Yin Hongzhi is completely helpless. He has no place to run and can sit still and wait for death. What should he do?
The two nephews and uncles sat in the flower hall, helpless. For a long time, Li You slapped his hands suddenly and said with joy: "Yes!"
Yin Hongzhi perked up: "Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"
Li You stood up excitedly, walked around the hall, thought about it, and said firmly: "I, the king, can ask Fang Er! Now Fang Er has made great achievements in front of the prince, and he is the first-class trusted minister. , and I think that I still have some friendship with Fang Er, so as long as Fang Er is willing to say a few nice words in front of the prince, I can at least save my life, right?"
Either escape from Chang'an and find a remote place in a poor country, where you will never see anyone for the rest of your life, living in a miserable and miserable state. Or you can simply admit your mistake to the prince and plead guilty, and you can probably save your life.
Since he won't be killed, what can he do even if he is imprisoned for life? The dignity of being a prince is always there, the same fine clothes and food, the same beauties, which is much better than escaping from Chang'an...
To this day, he has admitted it. Who told him that he was so obsessed at the beginning that he thought about adding insult to injury to compete for the position of crown prince?
As long as I can save my life, there will be no injustice.
Yin Hongzhi's eyes also lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "That's very good! Without further ado, I will buy a few cannon boats. Let's escape overnight and go to Xuanwu Gate to see Fang Jun!"
