There were many things that he didn't think of, but he didn't think about them. Now that Mrs. Lu reminded him, Li Mu instantly realized that Li Ji was not here to help him. There was no need for Li Ji to suppress the rebellion, so there was no point in killing the chicken.
Bullshit? He came here not to guard against Li You, but to guard against himself. But why did he let Li Chengqian come with him? Isn't this sending hostages?
Also, if you were wary of yourself, why did you choose Li Ji?
Li Shimin should understand that given Li Ji's relationship with him, wouldn't using him be a deliberate attempt to let him go?
Or maybe, he just let things slip on purpose?
No, Li Mu frowned. Suddenly, he turned to look at Mrs. Lu next to him. He understood that Li Shimin should have known for a long time that the person behind Li You's rebellion this time was Mrs. Lu and the successor hall. What Li Shimin really wanted
The target of the attack is Ji Si Tang! This is his biggest enemy!
He had long known that he was Li Jiancheng's son!
He really had the intention to kill himself! But for some reason, he gave up in the end!
He asked Li Chengqian to come with him to express his attitude. Exchange hostages! Li Chengqian was serving as a hostage for himself, and his wife, children, and children in Luoyang also became his hostages at this time! If they break up, it will be a severance of friendship!
In the whole thing, Li You was just a bait, an introduction, and an opportunity! Using his own son as a pawn, Li Shimin's ruthlessness and scheming made Li Mu shudder!
Li Mu didn't know why, but a sentence suddenly popped into his mind, "You will drink from the golden cup together, but you will not be spared with a bare sword!"
Mrs. Lu saw Li Mu's changing expression and served him a bowl of soup: "Do you understand?"
"Um."
"Son," Mrs. Lu patted the back of Li Mu's hand and said, "Mom has been dead since your father cruelly abandoned me in this life. The only reason that keeps me alive is you. Mom, in this half of my life,
Just looking for you."
"I thought you might have died, and we would never see each other again in this life." Mrs. Lu choked up a little as she spoke, "I didn't expect that you still let us see each other. In my heart, my mother is so confused.
It’s pretty solid.”
"You don't have to be embarrassed, mother——"
Li Mu heard what Mrs. Lu meant and said flatly: "No! I will not allow you to do this."
Mrs. Lu smiled happily and said: "My son is thinking about your mother, and my mother is happy. But if not, Li Shimin will not let you go. In this life, my mother has experienced everything she should have experienced, and now I see you again."
When it comes to you, there is nothing to regret."
"I'm not doing it for you." Li Mu said coldly: "You don't need to be sentimental. I have no intention of identifying with you. I don't care whether you live or die. It's up to you now. You can do whatever you want. But
Now, you can't die. And I won't let anyone flatten or round you! The emperor has his own plans, but I don't want to let him go!"
Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with excitement and she said: "My son has a plan? Li Shimin has been planning for a long time, I'm afraid he is not that easy to fool."
"Since he doesn't know what he's talking about, then everyone must be confused. Keep your heart in your stomach, it'll be fine!" Li Mu finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let's go, I want to go tonight
Eat chicken wings!”
After that, she left in a hurry. Mrs. Lu looked at Li Mu's back, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
Aunt Rong came over and asked, "Miss, Li Shimin is coming with bad intentions. Let's make preparations early."
"What are you preparing for?" Mrs. Lu looked at Grandma Rong and said, "Didn't you hear what my son said?"
Aunt Rong was stunned: "Miss, what are you—"
"My son said he wanted to eat chicken wings, go and prepare chicken wings!" Mrs. Lu looked at Aunt Rong and said seriously: "Also, from now on, you will call me old lady and my son young master. Don't miss Miss.
My son is already eighteen years old, so he should be called Madam."
It suddenly dawned on Aunt Rong that the Jisi Hall had changed owners unknowingly, and Li Mu would be the owner of the Jisi Hall from now on.
Aunt Rong responded respectfully, then remembered another thing and asked: "Old madam, there is one more thing, please give me your permission so that I can answer you."
"Um?"
"Boling Cui's side, Qinghe Cui's side——"
"Ha!" Mrs. Lu laughed and said: "A group of young people have become blind after eating lard! Are they going against my son? Okay, let them come over, and I, the mother-in-law, will take it for my son.
that is."
After hearing this, Grandma Rong didn't know why. She vaguely remembered that in Luoyang twenty-two years ago, her own lady also said similar words. With the talents of the world at her fingertips, the Fan Yang Lu family
It was also after that time that she jumped from the bottom of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects to the top family after the Wang family in Taiyuan. However, in these years, the young lady missed her son, was in a trance, and had no intention of doing anything, so her style of doing things became much more mellow.
Now that she has found her son, the knot in her heart has been resolved. If she lets go and does something, she will still be the same female Zhuge she was back then!
"Isn't it just that a son died in a family? Shouldn't their sons die?" Mrs. Lu snorted coldly: "One has died a long time ago, and the other has died a long time ago. What's wrong with me sending them down together?"
?They don’t thank my son, but they come to ask for an explanation? Okay! Then tell them that they died well and deserved it! This is the explanation I gave them. If you are not convinced, get out of the Successor Hall. From now on, everyone will be the enemy.
Let’s see who begs for mercy first!”
"Old madam, don't be angry - in fact, the two families didn't say anything. They just asked. They don't know that the young master is your son. If they knew, they wouldn't dare to ask."
"Hmph!" Mrs. Lu suddenly thought of something and said: "Also, tell the old men at home that although I am the daughter of the Lu family, I will obey my husband when I get married and my son after my husband dies. Don't hold anything against me in the future.
What kind of family righteousness? How much I have paid for the family can be seen by a blind person. If there is a decent descendant in the mortal clan these years, I, a female, will not need to stand up for me. If you talk nonsense to me, I will not be responsible for the Lu family's affairs in the future.
Don’t care! When you don’t have anything to eat or drink, just figure it out on your own!”
"Miss, please calm down," said Grandma Rong, who was from the Lu family. When she heard this, she broke into a cold sweat.
Almost all the business of the Lu family is taken care of by Mrs. Lu. If she really gives up, the Lu family will not only plummet, but the second position in the family will definitely be lost. No matter how many people are involved, she will not dare to
Think carefully.
Moreover, Mrs. Lu must have left the Lu family to help her son. Li Mu has always been at odds with the family, and he also had a quarrel with Louvre, a great scholar of the Lu family. If Mrs. Lu is stubborn and ignores friendship, how can the Lu family resist?
Can mother and son work together?
"I told you to call me the old lady. Okay, I'm too lazy to say it. Go and prepare chicken wings for my son."
"promise--"
Grandma Rong was very tired. She suddenly began to miss the young lady who had not found her son. Although she cried every now and then, she was at least easy to serve and could feel her connections. Why did she feel like she couldn't serve her now? Why did her personality change?
have to--
Grandma Rong's eyes suddenly widened. She thought about how her young lady's personality looked a bit like Li Mu!
No, no mother is like a son, a son should follow his mother - yes, wasn't the young lady so arrogant when she defeated the world's talented people when she was young!
…
In the afternoon, the city gate was opened, and Qizhou's troops and horses had completed changing flags. They were stationed outside the city gate. Those people Li Mu brought also entered the city, handed over the weapons of Qizhou's original troops and horses, and asked them to go home to listen to the news.
At this point, the hidden danger is completely gone.
The prince's three guards each led a sergeant from the Zhechong Mansion to handle one city gate. The remaining gate was held by General Wang, who had followed Li Mu into the Prince of Qi's Mansion and made great contributions to betraying the secrets. He was able to hand over the city gate to a former rebel general.
Taking care of him showed his trust. General Wang was so excited that in front of Li Mu, he slapped his chest so hard that he felt like breaking his bones.
There was nothing else to do next. Li Mu only needed to straighten out the order in Qizhou and wait for Li Ji to come. He was too lazy to do these things, so he sent a letter to nearby Qingzhou and asked Qingzhou to send some capable officials to act on it, waiting for the court to come again.
When officials are sent over, just do the handover.
Calculating it carefully..., the biggest loss for the court during this time of King Qi's rebellion was the loss of money and food caused by the recruitment of soldiers and horses from various states. Apart from that, it was nothing, because King Qi basically did nothing, just changed the title of the prince to
He defeated the emperor and allowed his officers and soldiers to harm the people of Qizhou for a while. No battle was fought and no great corruption was caused.
As for the rebellious soldiers, such as bandits, looting and committing crimes, we can only wait for the new governor to take office and then slowly liquidate them. The commander-in-chief must first transfer, disrupt and mix the existing officers and soldiers, and only then can the heinous criminals be liquidated.
, I won’t even mention it at this time to avoid triggering a mutiny.
The most depressed person is none other than Li Chengqian.
The massive rebellion ended in such a weird way. Li Chengqian felt that he was just confused and had no sense of participation at all. It was like buying a game in excitement and finishing it within half an hour of playing.
What's the point?
Angry Li Chengqian came to the prison and found Li You.
Although Li You rebelled, he was a prince after all. Only the emperor could punish him. No one else, including Li Chengqian, could impose punishment on him. So although he was imprisoned, his treatment was not good.
It's quite nice. Single room, satin quilt, three meals and four dishes, and wine. It's quite moist.
When Li Chengqian came, Li You was drinking. Seeing Li Chengqian, Li You's face changed several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, but turned his back to him.
In fact, he didn't have any hatred towards Li Chengqian and Li You. Even before this rebellion, he wasn't even jealous. Because as long as he could remember, Li Chengqian had been the prince. In Li You's original thoughts, this country was a matter of course.
He didn't even think about robbing Li Chengqian's. It was just that he was subtly brainwashed by Yin Hongzhi and his original intention changed. Now that he knew that Yin Hongzhi was using him, he also reflected a lot on the past. Although he said that to Li Chengqian
I don't respect him as a brother, but I don't hate him that much either.
"You said you! If you rebel, you will rebel. It's the same thing! Isn't this a riot? It's only been a few days! We haven't even fought a decent battle. It's so disappointing!"
"Stop talking sarcastically!" Li You turned around angrily: "Do you think I want to rebel? I just can't get angry! I am my father's son, Li Mu is nothing, but you saw how my father treated me
How should I treat him? Do you think it is fair?"
"What's unfair?" Li Chengqian admired Li Mu quite a lot. He felt uncomfortable when he heard this and said, "My eldest brother is a person with real abilities. My father is a person who cherishes talents. Is there anything wrong with being nice to him?"
?Look at you and me, what contribution have we made to the country? If our father treats us better than our elder brother, that would be stupid. Besides, my father treats you well. Think about it, how many monthly visits do you have and how many monthly visits do I have?
?I get fifty guan a month! What about you? I know there is a thousand guan, not counting what your mother and concubine secretly gave you. My mother-in-law gave me three to five guan, and that was all in time for the New Year!"
"You said this, you actually said this -" Li You was angry, but he couldn't find the words to retort, so he gritted his teeth angrily: "Why didn't you say you were the prince? Sooner or later, the world will be yours, and you still have to fight with each other.
Got it!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Li Chengqian spread his hands and said, "I'm not robbing you of this. Who asked me to be born earlier than you? My mother is the queen. You have to go to your mother's concubine. If she is the queen
, you are the prince!"
"you!"
Li You had to admit that Li Chengqian was telling the truth. But when he said this at this time, he was undoubtedly irritating.
Not to mention the bickering between the two brothers, but in a courtyard across the street from the prison, more than ten people gathered here. They gathered around and placed a sketch in the middle.
On the ground, there was a topographical map drawn, and a smart-looking young man in fine clothes used stones to place positions on the map.
Someone asked in a deep voice: "Where is His Highness being detained?"
"Here..."
A person pointed on the map: "This is the deepest part of the prison. The security is divided into three levels. There are secret sentries outside the prison..."
This person inquired about the situation very clearly and immediately explained it in detail.
"Li Mu successfully took over Qizhou. Our people are standing still, and His Highness's prison must be loose. As long as we can successfully lurk nearby, rescue His Highness, seize their horses, and use the night to escape successfully. With Wang Yue's help,
There is a school captain who belongs to us at the east city gate, and he will open the gate and let us out when the time comes!"
"The purpose of infiltrating is to save people. You don't need too many people. If you have more people, you will be exposed easily. Just a few good people are enough. I got the jailer's clothes here. You take people outside the prison and wait for opportunities to create chaos and attract their attention. I
Take the opportunity to bring someone in! Save His Highness, don’t mess around, just turn around and leave!”
After everyone considered it, they felt that there was no problem, and said in a deep voice: "Let's set off now and find a place to hide. After dark, your side will start the attack first. When I see some movement on your side, I will take action to save people!"
"yes!"
Everyone nodded vigorously, waved their hands, and each led someone into the dusk.
They are all soldiers raised by Yin Hongzhi, and they are carrying out Yin Hongzhi's final arrangements. Over the years, Yin Hongzhi has made more than one preparation for the great cause of revenge. If he had not died, he might still have a chance to fight to the death.
However, before he could do anything, he was killed by Quan Wanji's disciples. Somehow, it was God's will.
