Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4125 The Lobbyist
In the palace, there is such energy to escape people under heavy supervision, presumably there is no one else except Wang Shoushi... In the end, I still underestimated this eunuch, as His Majesty's chief executive who secretly controls the dead, on the bright side It may not be able to make any waves, but such secret and sneaky tricks are hard to guard against.

Moreover, purely for the understanding of Taiji Palace, there is indeed no one in the world comparable to Wang Shoushi...

He must rush to the prince's side and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

……

"what?!"

After hearing the news, Li Ji and Li Xiaogong, who came to the prince's residence, looked at each other in astonishment. They were a little surprised and shocked by the sudden disappearance of King Jin. Immediately thinking of the consequences that would happen next, they felt helpless. , so King Jin was put under house arrest, and Yu Chigong was summoned into the palace, but the two escaped.

The Taiji Palace is heavily guarded and well-guarded, yet there is still such a big loophole, making such an unforgivable mistake...

Li Xiaogong had a bitter expression on his face, he hesitated for a while, got up and prostrated himself on the ground again, and said in a low voice: "The dog is negligent in his duty, he deserves death, the old minister pleads guilty, I hope His Highness will punish him, there is absolutely no complaint."

After all, take the first pause.

This is the etiquette for courtiers to meet the king on formal occasions...

Before, he had some hesitation about which prince to support for the throne, and he wanted to wait until His Majesty's will appeared before making a decision. He was not afraid of offending the prince or one of the kings of Jin because of it. Prestige is the second person under His Majesty, and anyone who ascends the throne needs to rely on him to control the clan to avoid chaos.

But now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

King Jin absconds, war is almost inevitable, and once the battle for succession breaks out, Li Chongzhen is the most direct person responsible... The most critical question is, what will the crown prince think about King Jin absconding under Li Chongzhen's nose?

How will the ruling and opposition parties view Li Xiaogong's position?

On the surface, the words are burning to obey His Majesty's will, and try their best to avoid the occurrence of war, but in the end, the war was born from the hands of their father and son...

King Jin will not treat Hejian County Prince's Mansion kindly, because Li Chongzhen was ordered by the crown prince to put him under house arrest and supervise King Jin. Holding a grudge and launching revenge?

The Crown Prince will not tolerate Hejian County Prince's Mansion, Jin Wang fled under Li Chongzhen's nose, even if Li Chongzhen really didn't release the water...who would believe it?
Standing in line and leading to failure is not the worst result, but eating inside and outside is...

Li Chengqian got up quickly, stepped forward two steps, leaned over and held Li Xiaogong's shoulders with both hands, and said sincerely, "Uncle Wang is a pillar of the royal family and a stone of the empire. He has made great achievements and prestige. Every time the father is here, the stability of the royal family depends on Uncle Wang's contribution, so the country can be safe. Gu, and repeatedly taught Gu to rely more on Uncle Wang, and to consult with him on internal and external affairs, so that he can be careful and carefree about the military and government... In today's matter, although Li Chongzhen made mistakes in omissions, he was not guilty of dereliction of duty, and even more Not to mention that Uncle Wang has absolutely nothing to do with this? Uncle Wang, rest assured, although Gu dare not claim to be wise, he is not a fool, and he will definitely not get involved indiscriminately, creating something out of nothing."

Li Xiaogong looked ashamed, was lifted up by Li Chengqian, and suggested: "Now you should go to Jin Wang's mansion quickly, while searching the whole mansion to see if there is any trace of Jin Wang, and at the same time send people to the Youhouwei barracks outside the city to try to gather the right people. Houwei General Su Jia can promise to grant him the position of succeeding Youhouwei as the Great General, and grant him a title of one rank, no matter what conditions he pays, he must appease Youhouwei."

Once Yu Chigong escaped from the city and returned to Youhouwei, coupled with the prestige of King Jin, it is very likely that he will raise his troops tonight.

Of course, the top and bottom of Youhouwei has been managed by Yuchigong for many years. Before relying on the favor of His Majesty Li Er, the lieutenants and generals of the army all placed private individuals. The entire army was deployed loyally, and Su Jia was Yuchigong's wife. My son, it is as difficult as climbing the sky to win over...

Fang Jun added: "We must summon Lu Guogong immediately and ask him about the details of the capital's defense to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Li Ji, who had been silent all this time, looked up at Fang Jun, but he still didn't speak.

The so-called inquiring about the defense of the capital...is nonsense at all. It is to call Cheng Yaojin into the palace and put him under house arrest. On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin will be placed under house arrest and deprived of military power, and then find a way to divide Zuo Wuwei into them. At worst, he can threaten Cheng Yaojin to command Zuo Wuwei to fight.

Otherwise, once Cheng Yaojin turns against the water and besieges Taiji Palace, the situation will be bad for the East Palace.

There is nothing better than this...

Li Chengqian was refreshed, and hurriedly said to the officials of the Eastern Palace outside: "Immediately take the token of Gu and rush to the army, and call Duke Lu to the palace to discuss important matters."

Yu Zhining answered outside and turned around to make arrangements.He and many civil servants in the East Palace have long supported the crown prince's initiative to defend the reserve position, but the crown prince has been passively facing it under the instigation of Fang Jun, which makes them quite disappointed. As the name is justified, he can take the initiative to deal with the Jin Palace, but there is not much excitement in his expression.

When he came to the outside, he sent someone to deliver the prince's order to Cheng Yaojin, and then found Lu Deming by himself, and the two of them gathered at a corner, quite speechless.

Who would have expected things to develop to the present?
If I knew this earlier, why bother...

After a long while, Lu Deming said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, where is there any room for returning to the world? It is still wrong now, if we turn towards Qin Muchu again and have two hearts, I am afraid that it will be difficult for any party to tolerate us."

Yu Zhining shook his head repeatedly and sighed, but he also knew that Lu Deming's words were correct.

After a long time, he sighed heavily: "That's it."

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, how can they be allowed to change again and again?
Lu Deming said: "I will go to find Lu Guogong personally, and tell him the pros and cons, hoping to make him understand the righteousness and not make a wrong move."

Yu Zhining shook his head, and said: "What's the use of you going? Cheng Yaojin looks rough, but in fact he is the most slippery. It is hard to persuade him with simple words. Someone has already persuaded him and offered him an irresistible condition. "

Lu Deming's face darkened instantly, he didn't know that Yu Zhining was still hiding such a trick, obviously to guard against him.

From this point of view, it is really hard to call it a wise move for me to choose to associate with these remnants of the Guanlong Clan...

*****
Zuowuwei camps are set up in various places in the city, and once something happens, the key points in the city can be quickly controlled in order to control the whole city, and the Chinese military tents are set up not far from Dongshi.

At that time, the night was as dark as ink, and there was a light rain. Cheng Yaojin drank tea and chatted with an old man who was nearly seventy years old and had white beard and hair in the tent of the Chinese army.

Cheng Yaojin poured tea for the other party with his own hands, and asked with a smile: "It's raining heavily tonight, father-in-law is not resting in the mansion, why did you come here in the rain? If there is an assignment, just let someone know, and my son-in-law will definitely do it with all his strength. Why do you need me?" Take the trip yourself."

The old man is Cheng Yaojin's father-in-law, Cui Xin, who lived in Qizhou in the Sui Dynasty, did not serve as an official in the Tang Dynasty, but lived in the mansion to spend the rest of his life, and would not have foreigners in his spare time. Today, he rushed to the house or came to the army in person, obviously there must be a reason...

Cui Xin finished the teacup, took a shallow sip, as if he hadn't heard Cheng Yaojin's words, and said casually: "This tea has endless sweetness and saliva in the mouth. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, and my Qinghe Cui family is known as a family of hairpins and Confucianism, but they are not blessed to enjoy it."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "This kind of tea is indeed rare in the market, but I sent someone to deliver some to my home during Qingming. Although it is not much, it is enough for my father-in-law to enjoy, right? I will send someone to send you some of the tea stored at home later. Go, there is no need to say such bitter words."

He still respects the father-in-law in front of him.

When the original wife died of illness, I heard that Qinghe Cui's eldest daughter was widowed and widowed, so my lover went to make a matchmaker. I thought it was just wishful thinking, but unexpectedly it came true, which made this marriage a sensation.

As the head of the "five surnames and seven clans", the Cui family of Qinghe is a noble family with hairpin tassels. It is famous all over the world as the head of the Shandong family. I don't know how many, more popular than the royal princess.Logically speaking, Cheng Yaojin would definitely not be his turn. It was this father-in-law who overcame all arguments and persuaded the opponents in the clan to marry his prostitute daughter to him.

This is getting married, a proper kindness of knowing you.

What's more, Cheng Yaojin was assisted by the Cui family of Qinghe when he was not married, so he was able to make some achievements in the troubled Shandong land at the end of the Sui Dynasty...

It's just that I have grown up in recent years, and I don't want to get too close to the Shandong aristocratic family whose desires are hard to fill, so I am far away from virtue and drift away. Therefore, I also feel sorry for this father-in-law.

Cui Xin raised his eyelids to look at him, and said calmly: "How can you ask for yourself? This tea business is not only making money every day, but also can be passed down to the family. It's a pity that the best tea gardens in the Jiangnan generation are now under the name of Fang Jun. In just a few generations, the Fang family will become an aristocratic family comparable to the Cui family, the Lu family and other prominent families."

Cheng bit Jin's mouth and fell silent.
