Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3388 Ambitious
The eldest grandson Wen was still worried, and said: "But my brother came to the door in such a grandiose way, and told us all about our plan, what if Chai Zhewei leaked it?"

Preparing to dethrone the Eastern Palace is an earth-shattering event. Once the secret is leaked in advance and the Eastern Palace learns about it in advance, it will be hard to bear it.

Although the Eastern Palace does not have much force directly in its hands, and the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace were hastily formed, but there are still half of the Right Guards outside the Xuanwu Gate!
With only half of the Youtunwei, Fang Jun defeated Tuyuhun, annihilated the two elite cavalry of the Huns and Arabs, and defeated Ye Qide's 20 army in Gongyue City, which shows that the Youtunwei is strong and good at fighting.Although Gao Kan was inferior to Fang Junzhi in terms of military ability, he was also a famous general. The half of the right guards under his command were enough to wipe out the Guanlongmen Clan in one fell swoop when they were caught off guard.

Chang Sun Chong asked, "Who did he leak it to? At the beginning, the prince ordered him to lead the army westward to guard Hexi, but he refused because he was sick, so Fang Jun had to take the risk and lead half of the right guards to go out, anytime, anywhere. The disaster of destruction has already separated Liangzi from the East Palace. Once the East Palace is successfully enthroned, Qiao Guogong’s mansion must be one of the first wave of nobles to be purged. At least in the matter of deposing the East Palace, our interests are the same of."

The eldest grandson Wen was still worried: "I heard that Qiao Guogong and His Royal Highness King Jing have a very good personal relationship, just in case..."

"Will King Jing face the East Palace?"

"Uh... that's not going to happen."

King Jing is not interested in anyone. This man has been fanning the flames in the clan, and has been entangled with the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong. He is quite ambitious.

"Isn't it over?"

Changsun Chong said firmly: "Our primary goal is to dethrone the Eastern Palace, and supporting Jin Wang is the next step. Chai Zhewei is not an idiot, he naturally understands the benefits of deposing the Eastern Palace, whether he joins us or not, on this point he It must be happy to see the success. And King Jing, or others, just let them sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight or even sit back and enjoy the success, as long as the East Palace is deposed, our eldest grandson's family will be safe."

Changsun Wen was at a loss and was very puzzled.

So what if Donggong is deposed?

And 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. But this is what my father ordered. He is naturally fully prepared, and we will only obey orders. That's it."

The eldest grandson said hurriedly: "It's natural! My father has strategized and has no plans left. As sons of man, we admire him very much in our hearts, and we dare not spoil the great affairs of our father!"

The eldest grandson Chong nodded and said: "That should be the case. Although I don't know what plans my father has to ensure that the family will be safe and sound after the East Palace is abolished, but only by looking at the means of my father, I can tell that this time I will do everything I can. There is a mistake! If the matter fails, no one in the whole family will be spared; if the matter is successful, the sky and the sea will naturally be widened from now on, and the glory of the past will be repeated!"

However, Changsun Wen didn't pay attention to these things.

Before Changsun Chong was in exile, and Changsun Huan and Changsun Jun passed away successively, Changsun Yan became the natural heir of the Patriarch. As long as he designed and framed him, the position of Patriarch's heir would naturally be his own.

But now that Changsun Chong suddenly returned to Chang'an, if his plan with his father was completely successful, he would be able to completely clear his name from now on.

Is it still eligible to be the heir of the head of the family?
The most important thing is, do you still have hope?
*****
At night, King Jing's Mansion.

In the study, Li Yuanjing met You Wenzhi in secret. Hearing that Changsun Chong went to visit Chai Zhewei today, he exclaimed: "Changsun Chong is back?"

"Exactly."

Li Yuanjing stroked his beard under his jaw, frowning in thought.

After a long time, he asked: "Elder Sun Chong just mentioned that there is a big plan, and he didn't talk about other things, and he didn't lobby Chai Zhewei?"

You Wenzhi nodded and said: "That's right, in fact, Chang Sun Chong only mentioned planning major events, and he didn't even speak out about deposing the Eastern Palace."

"It doesn't matter. What difference does it make if you say it bluntly or not?"

Li Yuanjing shook his head, but still puzzled: "Even if the East Palace is deposed, how can Changsun Wuji avoid His Majesty's thunderous wrath?"

You Wenzhi kept his mouth shut.

He and Chai Zhewei also had some analysis in the Zuo Tunwei camp before, and they also failed to guess how Changsun Wuji would deal with the aftermath after deposing the East Palace. It is obviously not enough to support the King of Jin.His Majesty Li Er dotes on King Jin, and will only follow suit to recognize King Jin's status, but he must use thunderous means against the eldest grandson's family who deposed the East Palace without authorization, otherwise, what is the power of heaven?

If the eldest grandson's family was unscathed after dethroning the East Palace, everyone would follow suit in the future, so what's the point of the emperor appointing the crown prince?

The emperor appointed a prince, but the ministers felt that they could not get along with him, and then carried out a mutiny to depose him...

That would cause chaos in the world.

Chai Zhewei couldn't understand this question, Li Yuanjing couldn't understand it, even Brother Chang Sun Chong couldn't understand it...

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanjing said: "In these days, you have to follow Chai Zhewei 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 Guan Long We are well aware of the fact that we are powerful, so we should prepare early."

You Wenzhi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "When the eldest grandson's family..."

Li Yuanjing waved his hand and said, "It's okay to let them go. I have been patient for many years and waited for the opportunity. I thought that this opportunity would have to wait until His Majesty's death, but now it seems that once the Changsun family is rolled up in Chang'an City Fengyun, maybe it is a good opportunity that I have been waiting for for many years! The more violent they are, the more favorable the situation will be for us, otherwise why would we take the millet out of the fire?"

Faintly, he always felt that Changsun Wuji was plotting a huge conspiracy, the purpose was definitely not just to dethrone the East Palace, otherwise, with the wisdom and strategy of Changsun Wuji, how could he not see that he would face His Majesty after dethroning the East Palace? Thunder Fury?
Since Changsun Wuji is sure that His Majesty's thunderous wrath will not fall on him, it means that there are still many key points hidden in the dark that others cannot see.

"Here!"

You Wenzhi agreed, and discussed some details with Li Yuanjing, then took his leave and left, returning to his residence in the dark, and returning to the Zuo Tunwei barracks outside Xuanwu Gate until dawn.

Although there is no curfew tonight, all the city gates in Chang'an are closed, and entry and exit are strictly controlled.

When You Wenzhi left, Dong Mingyue, dressed in crimson palace attire, with a slender figure and beautiful face, walked out of the back hall, holding a cup of ginseng tea in her hand, shaking her lotus steps lightly, with a breath of Xiangfeng came to Li Yuanjing's side, put the ginseng tea on the coffee table beside him, and said softly: "It's getting late, the prince should take a bath and rest after drinking the ginseng tea."

Li Yuanjing laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of ginseng tea, then took Dong Mingyue's slender hand, pulled her petite and light body across his lap, and embraced Yingying while Dong Mingyue whispered softly. Holding her slender waist, she said excitedly: "The night is long, how can I go to bed early? My lady might as well take a bath with the king, and you can also meet each other frankly and enjoy the joy of fish and water."

"Ouch!"

Dong Mingyue's pretty face was blush like rouge, her beautiful eyes flowed, she couldn't help being ashamed, she clenched her pink fist and lightly hammered Li Yuanjing's chest twice, and said coquettishly: "My lord! You have a precious status, you have lofty aspirations, and you should be yourself." Strict self-discipline, how can you sink into beauty? If you wear down the will of the prince, the concubine will really become a sinner through the ages!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Yuanjing climbed the mountain with one big hand in search of victory, and said, "Did you hear what You Wenzhi said just now?"

Speaking of business, Dong Mingyue held down her big hand that was about to get into her skirt, struggled to get started, supported Li Yuanjing's shoulder with one hand, panted softly and said: "The prince does not shy away from being a concubine, so naturally he heard it clearly. The prince thinks that the eldest grandson Home is likely to be successful?"

Li Yuanjing withdrew his hand, wrapped his arms around the beauty's slender waist, and said slowly: "It's very possible. Right now, the garrisons in various parts of the Guanzhong are not full. During the Eastern Expedition, they will be drawn from various places, and their combat power will inevitably be weak. The Guanlongmen Clan has always supported them." Private soldiers have already exploded, and it is not difficult to pull up an army of more than ten thousand people. Moreover, many of these garrisons are entangled with the Guanlongmen Clan. No one knows how many people will be attached to the Guanlongmen Clan by then. , into Chang'an City."

The beauty handed the teacup to his mouth, and Li Yuanjing took another sip of ginseng tea in the hand of the beauty, and continued: "The only army that the East Palace can fully control is the Six Commander of the East Palace, but the Six Commander of the East Palace has only entered the hands of the prince not long ago, and has undergone rectification. , I’m afraid they don’t have much combat power. You Tunwei is loyal to the prince, but there are only half of them left with less than 2 people. Chai Zhewei’s Zuo Tunwei only needs to stand still, how dare the right Tunwei leave the Xuanwu Gate? So as long as Chai Zhewei has the heart Xiang Guanlong, then this will happen."
