Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3443 Who is the core
As the saying goes, "if the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his status, and if he does not keep a few things secret, he will suffer." The king must always be vigilant about his surroundings, even in the face of those ministers who are helping.

You can't use your wealth and life to test the loyalty of your subjects. Once you make a mistake, you will be forever...

Of course Li Junxian understood this truth, so he kept silent and did not dare to give even the slightest suggestion.This idea can only be taken by Li Chengqian himself, and no matter what the consequences are afterwards, he can only bear it by himself.

Li Chengqian deliberated for a long time before slowly saying: "Take people to Zhao Guogong's mansion to capture Changsun Chong. At the same time, send people to notify Song Guogong, Wei Guogong, Jiangxia County King, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin to come to the East Palace to discuss matters."

Arresting people is definitely necessary. The Changsun family has obviously planned this plan for a long time. Changsun Wuji is still in Liaodong at the moment, and Changsun Chong must be in charge of the overall situation in the family.As long as he is arrested, the eldest grandson's family can be paralyzed at the bottom line.

Without the leadership of the Changsun family, the "leader of Guanlong", the combined power of the other Guanlong clan would be offset by more than half.

But being the crown prince, he can't do things privately. He completely conceals it from his close ministers. While arresting people, he informs his ministers to come to discuss follow-up matters. It's just right...

Li Junxian was overwhelmed in his heart, stood up and said: "The last general's order!"

Li Chengqian warned again: "The eldest grandson must be arrested and brought to justice, and he must not be allowed to escape."

It can be foreseen that once the "Baiqisi" rushes into Zhao Guogong's mansion to take people, it indicates that his secret plan has been exposed, or he will honestly hand over Changsun Chong, and then die down, and all plans will be scrapped.Or take the risk and launch it immediately.

Even if there is a mutiny, the power of the Guanlongmen Clan with the eldest grandson family and without the eldest grandson family is completely different.

Li Junxian nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if the final general dies, he will arrest the eldest grandson!"

Right now is the time of life and death for the Eastern Palace, and it is also the time for the civil and military officials under the Eastern Palace to serve.If this hurdle is passed in one step, the position of the crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai from now on. Those who serve today will be the confidantes of the Eastern Palace.

Naturally, if he fails to do his best right now, or lacks ability, or even has ulterior motives, he will immediately fade out of the power core of the Eastern Palace...

When Li Junxian took the order to leave, Li Chengqian sat alone in the empty Nanxun Hall, looked up at the carved and painted beams, and took a deep breath.

It can be said that right now is the most dangerous moment in his life. If he can defend the Xingqing Palace and Chang'an City, he will be able to leap over the Dragon Gate and fly thousands of miles. When the army from the Eastern Expedition returned, he would naturally ascend to the throne and rule the world.

However, if he failed, his body would be smashed to pieces, and his family members would all die without a place to bury him.Even those civil and military officials who had always supported the Eastern Palace did not know how many of them would be purged, or demoted and dispatched thousands of miles away from Beijing, or ransacked their homes and imprisoned.

Success or failure, life or death, is on the verge of breaking out in this city of Chang'an.

A person stayed alone in the hall for a while, feeling all sorts of feelings in his heart, including excitement, emotion and bewilderment, but the strange thing is that he never felt the panic that should be the most...

After a while, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong, Li Jing, Ma Zhou and others quickly entered the hall under the guidance of the servants.

"The minister waits to see His Highness!"

Everyone bowed in unison, and Li Chengqian sat quietly behind the desk and raised his hand: "My dear friends, there is no need to be too polite, please take your seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone is seated, and tea is served inside.

Xiao Yu looked at Li Chengqian, and asked, "Your Highness called me at night, I don't know what's the matter?"

In the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep, but upon hearing the order from the prince, they quickly got up from the bed, put on a suit of clothes, and went out to take the car to the East Palace without any delay.

Being able to summon the ministers at this time is obviously a great event...

Li Chengqian explained Changsun Chong's sneaking back to Chang'an in detail, and then said: "It is conceivable that when the 'Baiqisi' enters Zhao Guogong's mansion to take people, the Guanlong clan will definitely respond immediately. Either give up completely, or start ahead of time, and start immediately. You are Donggong Humerus, and I am urgently called here, and I hope you can help me, help Gu to resist the small, and cut off the disobedient ministers!"

Everyone's complexion changed immediately, they got up quickly, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will die for Your Highness!"

Everyone knew that His Majesty Li Er had passed away. Although the news was suppressed and never leaked, it was already a consensus that the day when the Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to Guanzhong was when Li Chengqian ascended the throne as emperor.

Of course, the premise is that you can wait for the day when Li Ji leads his army back to Guanzhong...

Li Chengqian asked everyone to take their seats again, and asked Li Jing, "What is Wei Gong's opinion on the current situation?"

Seeing Li Jing pondering without saying a word, he knew the taboo in his heart, so he said softly: "Wei Gong does not need to be taboo, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a time of life and death, you are all outstanding people in the world, and you should help the lonely and stable society, Cut off traitors, create a great feat, and leave a name in history. Looking at the government and the public, Wei Gong's military skills are second to none, no one can match him, but please speak bluntly, and be taught with an open mind."

Then Li Jing stroked his snow-white beard and said slowly: "In this way, the old minister said bluntly. From the old minister's point of view, there is no need to think about luck. No matter whether His Highness sends the 'Baiqi Division' to Zhao Guogong's mansion to arrest Changsun Chong, it doesn't matter what happens." If Changsun Chong can be arrested on the spot, the Guanlongmen faction will also be activated. If the arrow is on the string, how can it not be launched? Besides, His Highness thinks that Changsun Chong may be the core of the major event planned by the Guanlongmen clan, but the old minister thinks it is a bit hasty. Although Changsun Chong He is the eldest son and grandson of the eldest grandson's family, but he committed the crime of treason first, and then went into exile. He has lost both public and private morals. How can such a reckless and vain person be the candidate for the leader of Guan Long? You know, even if In recent years, due to His Majesty's suppression, the Guanlongmen faction has gradually disappeared, but most of the old foxes of each family are still alive. These people are the best at planning schemes and reversing the situation. He will obey the orders of the eldest grandson Chong, a yellow-mouthed child."

His meaning is very simple. Chang Sun Chong's identity and virtue are hard to convince the public. Even if he is arrested and imprisoned or even sentenced to death, it will not affect the plan of the Guanlongmen Clan. Donggong already knew the details of their plan, so they just launched it in advance.

As for Guan Long giving up his plan because of Changsun Chong's arrest, it is basically impossible.

Xiao Yu on the side nodded and echoed, "The old man agrees with what the pharmacist said. Changsun Chong may only connect the various families in name, but in fact there is one or more people behind him. This person or people may not be involved in the details. But at the end of the day, it must be a character who can be echoed by everyone, is highly respected, and won the admiration of all Guanlong families."

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Who is this person?"

Xiao Yu and Li Jing looked at each other, and the latter said: "Of course Mr. Zhao is the most suitable one. As the leader of Guan Long for so many years, he has devoted himself to planning for the benefit of Guan Long, even at the expense of fighting with His Majesty. Inside the Guan Long Gate, Who doesn't admire? It's just that Zhao Guogong is in Liaodong now, even if he sneaks back to Chang'an in a hurry, he can't arrive so soon. As long as it takes a day or two at night, the overall situation will be settled by then, and even Zhao Guogong will not be able to turn the tide. Since it is not Zhao Guogong, then There's only one other person left..."

Xiao Yu saw that Li Jing was thinking of the same place with him, so she nodded and said, "That's right, it must be Hou Mo and Chen Qian's meeting!"

Hou Mo and Chen Qian will...

Not only Li Daozong and Ma Zhou were a little puzzled, but Li Chengqian also looked bewildered and asked subconsciously, "Who?"

This surname is not considered a common surname among Xianbei people, but because Hou Mochen's family has always been in the army since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is famous all over the world.

But Hou Mo Chen Qianhui is really an unfamiliar name...

Xiao Yu sighed, and said: "Your Highness doesn't remember him, it's no wonder, after all, this person has lived in seclusion in Dazhuangyan Temple for decades... But when the Great Sui Dynasty was first established, this person was famous and well-versed in both civil and military affairs. Hou Mo and Chen Ying were the generals under the command of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and were highly trusted. Hou Mo Chen Qianhui was his father's youngest son. He was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. The best candidate for a generation of Patriarchs."

Li Daozong wondered: "Such a hero, why haven't I even heard of this name?"
