After walking out of the Tai Chi Palace, Eunuch Gao came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "The Marquis is your majesty's good medicine. Since the accident, your majesty has not eaten or drank for many days. When he saw the marquis coming back, your majesty -
—”
"Oh, okay, we are all old acquaintances, why are you talking about such useless things?" Li Mu sat down on the steps. Eunuch Gao looked around and saw no one who needed attention, so he also sat down with Li Mu.
.
"I didn't have the nerve to ask Your Majesty just now, why did you do the opposite? Although that guy Li You is a bit dandy, he wouldn't do such a death-related thing, right? The investigations under your control have not revealed anything.
?" Seeing Eunuch Gao hesitating, Li Mu lowered his face and said, "Don't tell me you don't know. Those tricks under your hands have already stretched out their tentacles. In front of me, don't
You're just trying to fool someone! His Majesty asked me to suppress the rebellion, so I have to get some information."
"Actually, that's what happened." The interests of Eunuch Gao and Li Mu have long been tied together. As long as it is not against Li Shimin, Eunuch Gao will not hide anything. The hesitation just now was because of this matter
It was embarrassing for Li Shimin, so he didn't want to talk about it. But Li Mu said that Li Shimin wanted him to suppress the rebellion, so he had to tell him the news.
Eunuch Gao sighed and said: "Actually, this rebellion was a matter of time." Eunuch Gao seemed to be lost in memories and said: "What Master Yinshi did back then would not be regretted if he died. But the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty are kind,
Letting go of the young and old of the Yin family, I originally thought this was a matter of repaying evil with kindness, but who would have thought that Yin Hongzhi, who appeared to be obedient on the surface, was actually a very deep man in the city. He perfectly hid his hatred and let Your Majesty
He neglected to guard against him. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he gave him many blessings, and he took advantage of the situation and offered to personally discipline King Qi. But from the beginning, he regarded King Qi as a bargaining chip!
"
"Due to His Majesty's majesty, Yin Hongzhi did not dare to directly instill the disobedient heart of King Qi. He took a detour and taught King Qi on the surface, but in fact he led King Qi astray. Otherwise, a ten-year-old boy
How could a child be so arrogant and extravagant? When he was in Beijing, he was more restrained, but after he was granted the title of King of Qi, he went to Qizhou, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Without His Majesty's deterrence, all his faults were exposed.
"
"After my people were deployed in Qizhou, the news about King Qi bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil has not stopped. I did not dare to hide it from Your Majesty, so I told the truth. Your Majesty also asked Concubine Yin to write a letter to dissuade King Qi
, but with little effect. The reply was very well written, but in fact, according to the feedback from my subordinates, not only was there no improvement at all, but it became even worse. His Majesty had no choice but to issue an edict to reprimand, but the King of Qi remained the same. Even
Say it in front of the envoy - "Eunuch Gao glanced at Li Mu and said, "He said that he is not His Majesty's biological son, but His Majesty's biological son is you. Your Majesty only needs a son of yours. For a son like him who goes out to the outside world, with or without
It makes no difference, please leave him alone."
Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Why is this kid still jealous?
Eunuch Gao continued: "Quan Wanji, the chief historian of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, is an upright and upright man. He is the eyes and ears sent by His Majesty to supervise the behavior of the Prince of Qi. It was he who exposed this incident."
"The King of Qi has two warriors, named Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao. These two men are good at martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting. They can be regarded as the masters of the King of Qi. However, these two men have bad character. After gaining the favor of the King of Qi, they often pretend to be powerful and bully.
Even if the local people don't tell them, even the officials must pay them filial piety. Quan Wanji reprimanded them many times to no avail, and finally drove them out of Prince Qi's Mansion."
"This incident annoyed King Qi. Quan Wanji drove them away from the front door. King Qi called them back from the back door. He also rewarded them with gold and silver in public and called them 'Tijiren', saying that they had offended them.
Both of them are tantamount to disrespecting him and ridiculing Quan Wanji."
Li Mu was completely speechless. Children in the rebellious stage can indeed be childish.
"Quan Wanji is a man with a fiery personality. After being humiliated, he fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he ran back to Chang'an to complain to the emperor and revealed the matter. His Majesty was furious and issued an edict to severely reprimand the King of Qi.
, praised Quan Wanji. Wei Wenzhen was also appointed as the official officer of the Qi Palace, with both civil and military skills to assist the King of Qi. To put it bluntly, it is to supervise and punish. With this civil and military force, the real power of the King of Qi will be taken away. "
Li Mu could understand why Li Shimin didn't change people. With a person of Quan Wanji's temper beside Li You, he could still grasp some of the real situation. If he had been replaced by someone who was complicit in the crime, he might not know anything at all.
Eunuch Gao sighed: "Your Majesty's original intention is to give King Qi a beating. It's not that he wants to deprive him of his power. If King Qi can behave better, after March or May, your Majesty's anger will subside, and this matter will be over."
That's all. But King Qi seemed to have misunderstood. Not only did he hate Quan Wanji deeply, but he also hated His Majesty. Instead of persuading Yin Hongzhi, he started to fan the flames. After all, King Qi was young and had a hot head.
Did something wrong."
Li Mu curled his lips and thought to himself, after all, he is Li Shimin's old slave, and he really understands his intentions, but the whitewashing is a bit too harsh, bad review.
Li Mu was too lazy to listen to this and asked: "Stop talking about whether there is something or not. Tell me quickly. I have been traveling all the way and am exhausted. If I leave the palace early, I can find a place to take a bath."
"Don't we have to talk about it bit by bit," Eunuch Gao muttered, but he also sped up the progress: "King Qi is young after all, and the rebellion is a hot-headed thing. There is no preparation at all. Suddenly, he can not show his flaws.
Huh? He listened to Yin Hongzhi's suggestion and asked Quan Wanji for the records of the people of Qizhou, and also asked about money and food. Quan Wanji was naturally confused. King Qi had never been too lazy to ask about the military and political affairs of the prefectures and counties. It was really abnormal to ask him suddenly.
Then he became wary and consulted with Wei Wenzhen, but Wei Wenzhen was a Dianjun, and the King of Qi wanted to rebel. No matter how stupid he was, he knew how to avoid him, so he didn't know anything about it. The two of them discussed it over and over again.
I can’t think of a reason——”
Li Mu interjected: "These two people are quite stupid, but it doesn't seem like they are going to rebel?"
Eunuch Gao smiled bitterly and said: "Master Marquis, how could you have imagined that? Think about it carefully, how big the difference is between the King of Qi and His Majesty? Is there any chance of winning in rebellion? Moreover, there is a father on one side and a son on the other. How could they think of rebellion?
Go up."
When Li Mu thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case. He thought so because he knew what happened in history, and was not surprised by Li You's rebellion. They were people of this era, so it was understandable that they would not expect it.
"The two of them had to go separate ways to investigate. In this investigation, they immediately found out everything." Eunuch Gao smiled bitterly and said: "If the two of them hadn't thought that King Qi would rebel, there would be no need to investigate.
Because it is too easy to investigate. If you want to rebel, you need weapons, food and grass, and you have to recruit troops and horses. How can you hide this from others? What's more, the King of Qi doesn't have anyone who can be called a counselor. He doesn't do things carefully at all, and all preparations are full of loopholes.
, within a few days, even the people of Qizhou knew that King Qi had evil intentions. Is there any need for any investigation?
"Quan Wanji and Wei Wenzhen were so frightened that they knew the whole story. They were about to write a letter to the court to inform King Qi of the rebellion. Before the memorial could be sent out, King Qi finally remembered them and sent Yan Hongliang to lead his people.
Catch them."
"Quan Wanji knew that the person King Qi hated the most was him. When he learned that King Qi had sent people to arrest him, he immediately ran out of the city. Yan Hongliang was afraid that he would run away, so he led his people to pursue him, but he diverted Wei Wenzhen.
"
"So Wei Wenzhen was spared and escaped by chance. He changed his clothes, changed transportation, and changed his escape route along the way. He struggled all the way to Dezhou, where he bought a new horse to cross the river. When he arrived in Chang'an, he was like a beggar.
That’s it.”
After listening to Eunuch Gao talk about these things, Li Mu was speechless. What is this? The word absurd is not enough to describe it. He remembered that when he watched "The Long Song of Zhenguan", he was speechless.
I thought this was ridiculous, and even thought it was written by the screenwriter. I didn't expect that the real history was even more ridiculous than the screenwriter's imagination. This was almost a rebellion. I couldn't even think of strangling the eyeliner to death. I had been preparing for several days.
I just remembered it, and it was because I was chasing one that I forgot about the other——
Li Mu was a little suspicious that the person named Yan was also an undercover agent sent by Li Shimin. Otherwise, how could he have made such a big omission?
"Your Majesty, Qi Wang, should not be able to bear the murder." Eunuch Gao knew about Li Mu and Li You's feud, and reminded: "After all, it is father and son who are connected. We outsiders should not be confused. Mr. Hou is a smart man, and our family
Can you understand what I mean?"
"I understand that one more thing is worse than one less thing." Li Mu stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Okay, let's go, have a good sleep, and we will quell the rebellion tomorrow."
"I wish you a great victory, Lord Marquis." Eunuch Gao said nonsense. Li Mu raised his hand and waved, but he had already walked away.
Eunuch Gao called a young eunuch, whispered a few words, and the young eunuch ran wildly to the harem.
…
Li Mu mounted his horse and as soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw a female official waiting at the palace gate. Seeing Li Mu coming on horseback, she came over and blocked her. Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Who are you blocking me from?"
There is no way out and you don’t want to live anymore?”
"On the order of Concubine Yin, I am here to wait for the Marquis." The female official saluted and said, "Concubine Yin would like to invite Master Hou to come over."
Li Mu was silent for a moment and said: "This is really inconvenient. If I go to see Concubine Yin at this time, I'm afraid Your Majesty will know immediately. When the time comes, I will not be able to bear the responsibility for angering Concubine Yin."
"The empress said, "Quan Wanji and Wei Wenzhen knew the whole story and were frightened out of their wits. They were about to write a letter to the court to inform King Qi of the rebellion. Before the memorial could be sent out, King Qi finally remembered them and sent Yanhong
Lead the people to catch them."
"Quan Wanji knew that the person King Qi hated the most was him. When he learned that King Qi had sent people to arrest him, he immediately ran out of the city. Yan Hongliang was afraid that he would run away, so he led his people to pursue him, but he diverted Wei Wenzhen.
