Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3928 Prevention
Xiao Yu's face was not good-looking.

In the final analysis, whether it is the prince or Fang Jun, they are still guarding against the fact that if the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River enter the court aggressively at this moment, they will inevitably occupy all the power vacancies left by Guan Long, and the tail will not be lost.So I thought to wait until Li Ji returned to Beijing, and after the three-party negotiation, I would leave Guan Long with a sigh of relief to defend against the powerful families in Jiangnan and Shandong.

Xiao Yu was very depressed, but he also understood that the power vacancy vacated by the Guanlong clan was too great, and the Jiangnan clan couldn't bear it at all. Even if they insisted on eating it, they would become another powerful clan that the emperor feared after Guan Long. Facing the joint killing of the emperor, the Shandong clan and the Guanlong participating forces, where will there be a good end?

Then he nodded and said: "The old man is a little impatient, or the Duke of Yue is stable and mature."

Everyone has weird expressions. You, a veteran of several dynasties who are in their seventies and eighties, praise a junior who has just passed the weak crown as "stable and mature".

Fang Jun laughed, and said: "Speaking of stability, who can compare with you Song Guogong in the court? The so-called family has an old man, like a treasure. You have stood on the court for so many years, and you have protected yourself from the turmoil of Guanlong. Despite the wind and rain, we still stand still, this skill of nourishing Qi, we really admire."

Xiao Yu frowned, and gave Fang Jun a puzzled look.

It sounds like he's praising him for his calmness and solidity, but it sounds like he's like a bastard...

The atmosphere in the tent was very strange, and everyone was looking at Fang Jun, wanting to confirm whether there was any metaphor in his words.

Ma Zhou coughed and said, "There is one more tricky thing. Now that the rebels in Chang'an City have been wiped out, and the Guanlongmen clan have been arrested and detained one by one, the Wei Palace and Jin Palace should send more troops to guard them, so as not to accident."

Li Junxian also said: "The final general has dispatched 'Baiqisi' masters to set up defenses around the two mansions, but to ensure safety, they must enter the mansion to take over the defense. After all, the two mansions were under the supervision of Guanlong before, so it is inevitable Without Guan Long's backhand, it would be impossible to guard against malicious intentions. But if you want to enter the mansion to take over the defense, you need a warrant from His Highness."

Nowadays, the identities of King Wei and King Jin are extremely sensitive.

Previously, Changsun Wuji successively wooed the King of Wei and the King of Jin, intending to choose one of them to support him as the new crown prince, so as to achieve the intention of holding the political priority tightly in his hands after deposing the prince. , all categorically rejected the solicitation of the eldest grandson Wuji, showed extremely firm will and courage in the face of danger, and reaped praise from the government and the opposition.

This is a good thing.

But Changsun Wuji's move also clearly placed Wei Wang and Jin Wang in the position of contending for the crown prince. If there is any accident to the two princes during the East Palace Sixth rate takes over Chang'an defense, the biggest suspect is naturally Prince...

The Guanlongmen Clan rebelled in Guanzhong for more than a hundred years, and the city of Chang'an was even more intertwined and intertwined with interests. Almost no one could get rid of the relationship with the Guanlongmen Clan, let alone know who would serve as the dead soldiers of the Guanlongmen Clan and whether they would assassinate Wei. Wang, Jin Wang in order to achieve the purpose of disrupting the situation.

Obviously, Li Ji also agreed to depose the prince on the surface. Once Wei Wang and Jin Wang have accidents at this time, it is equivalent to giving Li Ji a handle and an excuse...

This matter is not trivial, Li Chengqian pondered for a while, and said: "I will issue an edict to order the 'Baiqisi' to take over the defense of the two prefectures...Since the day of the Guanlong Mutiny, Gu Ye has not seen the two younger brothers for more than half a year Now, the soldiers in Chang'an City are fierce and dangerous, presumably the two of them are also trembling and frightened, why don't you just come here and get close to your brothers alone."

Cen Wenwen immediately nodded in agreement: "That's very good."

And where is the safest place than with the two princes close by?

Right now, the power of the Guan Longmen Clan in the entire Guanzhong has been wiped out, and panic is inevitable. When the news of His Majesty's death spreads, the officials and the people will become more and more at a loss. If at that time, there happens to be any accidents with the King of Wei or the King of Jin... I'm afraid that the whole Guanzhong will be fried.

In particular, the slander and questioning of the prince will surge up like a tide, and it will be difficult to stop. No one can guarantee whether the current situation will change unpredictablely due to this.

We can only compress all possibilities to the minimum and take precautions before they happen.

……

The next day, the prince signed an edict in person, ordering the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to deploy experts to enter Weiwangfu and Jinwangfu to take over the defense of the two palaces. I miss you so much because I haven't seen you for a long time, so I invite the two princes to stay in the Youtunwei camp outside the Xuanwu Gate for a while...

After receiving the prince's hand letter, the two princes had different thoughts.

Wei Wang Li Tai's heart is selfless and magnanimous, and there is nothing wrong with it. He just told the captain of the "Baiqisi" who settled in the mansion: "Everyone in the mansion, please take care of me." Set foot outside the mansion and stay in the mansion honestly.

Then he took the things the princess had prepared to salute, left the mansion in a carriage, left the city from Jingyaomen, and rushed to Youtunwei Camp.

In contrast, Jin Wang Li Zhi was worried...

……

In Prince Jin's mansion, seeing Li Chongzhen standing upright like a javelin, with an expressionless face completely different from that of his father Hejian County King, King Jin Li Zhi's eyelids twitched twice, and hesitantly said: "It stands to reason that the elder brother of the prince is calling. The king should obey...it's just that the soldiers in the city are fighting fiercely these days, and the king has been frightened a lot. Recently, there has been a lot of rain and wind and cold, and he is not feeling refreshed. Do you think it is possible to postpone it for a few days?"

Wei Wang Li Tai was selfless in his heart, naturally open and carefree, and went to the prince's residence with ease, but he, Li Zhi, had always been entangled with the Guanlongmen Clan, and he was not clear about it. It was not a day or two to seek a reserve position. Although it collapsed suddenly, the East Palace was beaten to dilapidation and suffered heavy losses. How could the prince have no resentment in his heart?

After all, I am indeed the one who threatens the reserve more than King Wei. Now the city is arresting the remnants of the rebels and arresting the children of Guanlong. ...that would be in vain.

However, Li Chongzhen didn't listen to his reason at all, and just repeated the order he received with a blank face: "His Royal Highness has an order, please come and meet His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

His attitude is extremely tough, and if Li Zhi dares to say "no", he will be tied up immediately and taken to the Youtunwei camp forcibly...

Li Zhi was very angry, and said in a bad mood: "We are also clan brothers after all, why are we so aggressive?"

Li Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, but his tone was blunt: "Duty is on your shoulders, don't dare or forget it."

Since the day he entered the "Baiqisi", he has kept in mind the rules of the "Baiqisi", honestly and conscientiously being an emperor's "hawk dog", not to mention that he will not show favor in front of Jin Wang Li Zhi at this moment. He was ordered to "invite" his father, and he did as well.

In fact, on the day when Li Xiaogong sent his youngest son to the "Hundred Knights", he was cautious, thinking that if one day he, the king of Hejian County, was suspected by His Majesty, he would close the house. At the time of extinction, there is still a bloodline left.

Therefore, Li Chongzhen's task is definitely not to manage contacts and make contributions. These have nothing to do with him. He just needs to live on the errand, make no mistakes, and just live steadily...

Li Zhi was quite my own in the face of Li Chongzhen, who was not willing to give in. He had no choice but to say to the concubine who was standing aside and glaring at Li Chongzhen: "This king has not seen the prince's brother, and I just went to meet him, and also see King Qi... "

At the beginning, King Qi disappeared in the mansion for no reason, and later it was confirmed that he ran to Fang Jun to ask him to intercede in front of the prince, but after Fang Jun sent King Qi to Xuanwu Gate, there was no news. Li Zhi was always worried whether King Qi was still alive .

King Qi and his eldest grandson Wuji conspired in an attempt to compete for the reserve position, and even published an article denouncing the prince for being "unsuitable for virtue". Righteously and sternly rejected Changsun Wuji.

But if King Qi had already been executed by the crown prince in silence, then his situation might not be safe...

Although Jin Wangfei is a bit willful, she obeys Jin Wang's words, and she is a lady, she still has some knowledge, knowing that the current situation will never make the prince dissatisfied, so even though she is worried about Jin Wang's trip, she still has nothing to do. With tears in his eyes, he prepared his luggage, and sent Li Zhi to the carriage with tears streaming down his face.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Zhi saw his wife's beautiful face covered with tears, feeling a little distressed, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I just went to meet the prince's brother. There are Donggong troops inside and outside the city, so don't worry about safety. Go stay for a few days and then return. You don’t go out at home, no matter who comes, don’t meet each other, everything will be discussed when I come back.”

He has a cautious temperament, and he is afraid that the natal family of the Taiyuan Wang family will come to the door in the past few days. Apart from being a bit willful, this princess's care for her natal family also makes him quite a headache. , I am in trouble.

Concubine Jin nodded repeatedly, tears rolled down her cheeks, and said softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this concubine will not take care of her mother's affairs at this time."

Li Zhi felt relieved, nodded, and said to Li Chongzhen who was driving: "Let's go!"

"Here!"

Li Chongzhen was driving, surrounded by "Hundred Cavalry Division" master guards, and went straight to the Youtunwei camp.

Li Zhi was sitting in the carriage, his mood fluctuated and he couldn't calm down, so he lifted the window and looked out. The carriage happened to be between Yanshoufang and Taipingfang. After the war, there was a mess. The city was even more ruined, almost in ruins, which made him feel gloomy and sighed heavily.

This mutiny almost completely destroyed the construction of Guanzhong since Zhenguan, and it took ten years to rebuild it.

It took 20 years to build Guanzhong, where all industries are thriving and the people live in peace, but it only takes one mutiny to destroy it...
