Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 800 The Eastern Capital Is Moving (4)

"You should already know what happened today, huh?"

In the side room, Empress Wu lowered her head and sat silently for a while, then raised her head, squinted her eyes, and said calmly.

"Also please mourn for the mother's day."

Gar Yingong is a smart person, so he naturally knew that lying or pretending to be stupid would be difficult to hide from Empress Wu's mind, and he didn't want to play tricks on this matter, so he bowed and answered with a sad face One sentence.

"Forget it, let's talk about it, the matter has come to this, what should I do?"

As soon as he heard the word "sorry", Empress Wu's eyes immediately flashed a trace of sadness, but she soon calmed down, waved her hand expressionlessly, and asked in a calm voice.

"If you go back to your mother, you will think that the matter is in danger, and you should use extraordinary measures. If you don't do it, the consequences may be unpredictable!"

Gaozong is dead, and Empress Wu has lost her greatest support, which also means that the only chance for Gaer to take revenge is the last blow. If things fail, no matter how big the world is, there is absolutely no place for him Yes, in view of this, Gar Yingong dared not hide any more, and hit the vital point with one mouth.

"Well, to be specific."

Now that Empress Wu has no way out, even knowing that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, she can only bite the bullet and go down. On this point, the interests of Gar Yingong are undoubtedly the same , I will not have any different opinions on what I said.

"Your Majesty, as far as the general knows, the Prince's servant has never ceased to make appointments every morning and evening. Even if he cannot enter the palace gate, he will definitely worship His Majesty outside this Lishui Pavilion. This is an opportunity. You only need to make use of it a little. Don't worry about anything happening!"

In order to deal with Li Xian, Gar Yingong had already been planning for a long time, but at this moment, he responded very simply and neatly, and his confidence was beyond words.

"What if he doesn't come suddenly?"

Empress Wu is a shrewd person, even though Gar Yingong hasn't explained the specific arrangement in detail, she has already guessed a general idea, and she has made a decision in her heart, but she didn't say it explicitly, but took it easy asked.

"Your Majesty, you can send someone to make an announcement, and say that His Majesty has something important to call for an audience. I don't think he would dare not to come. Otherwise, there is no need to ambush. A crime of disobedience and disobedience is enough to kill him!"

Empress Wu's worry was not unreasonable, but Gar Yingong didn't take it seriously, and explained a sentence with great confidence.

"Well, in your opinion, who can take on this important task?"

Empress Wu was obviously not too satisfied with Gar Yingong's somewhat taken-for-granted answer, but she couldn't come up with a better solution, so she could only say noncommittal and put the matter aside in advance , and turned to ask who can preside over the overall situation.

"The general thinks that this matter must be Cheng Wuting and General Cheng, and the general is willing to assist from the side, so as to ensure everything is done!"

Empress Wu's words seemed plain at first glance, but in fact there was a lot of mystery inside, and it was difficult for ordinary people to understand the meaning, but Gar Yingong understood it immediately, nothing more, nothing more It's because Empress Wu didn't intend to hand over the overall situation to him, Gar Yingong, otherwise, there would be no need to ask this question, but Gar Yingong didn't care, because he wanted it. It's not the glory of Tang Dynasty, what he wants is revenge. As for things like reputation, he doesn't care at all, and he answers the question of Empress Wu very frankly.

"Oh? Ai Qing thinks General Li Duozuo is unreliable, huh?"

Empress Wu had a lot of contact with the two newly promoted generals of the Habayashi Army, and the kindness was roughly the same. However, deep down in her heart, she preferred Li Duozuo more, not for anything else, because Li Duozuo was not a Han. , the mind is also relatively simple, at least in Empress Wu's opinion, it is easier to control, but Cheng Wuting is very scheming, not ordinary, and empress Wu is more optimistic about Li Duozuo when he does such a big assassination. The person recommended by Er Yingong was Cheng Wuting, so he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty understands that General Li is from Mohe, and now the governor of Liaodong is a loyal servant of the crown prince. Even though General Li is very loyal, it is inevitable that Li will go down the melon field. Therefore, the final general thinks that it is better for General Cheng to be in charge of this matter." .”

Although he could hear the dissatisfaction in Empress Wu's words, Gar Yingong didn't care, and expressed his worries clearly and honestly.

"Well, then it's settled, go, and invite General Cheng to this palace."

From Empress Wu's point of view, Gar Yingong's explanation was a bit far-fetched, but at this critical juncture, Empress Wu did not dare to take the risk of making mistakes. .

"No, the general will obey the order!"

Gar Yingong has been planning for many years, and he has been waiting for this day. Hearing that Empress Wu had agreed to his proposal, he was very excited in his heart, and he responded neatly, turned around, and walked out quickly room to go.

"Um……"

Empress Wu didn't pay attention to Gar Yingong's departure. She lowered her head and sat silently for a long time. Finally, she let out a heavy sigh. There were so many worries and worries in her, but the matter had come to an end. , no matter how much anxiety there is, Empress Wu has no choice but to bet everything on the gambling table. As for the outcome, she can only do her best and obey the destiny... The end time has passed, and the sun has gradually set to the west, but the sun is still shining brightly. Not only that, because the rare sunny day dispelled the coldness of the past few days, it actually gave people a bright feeling like a spring in March. Tempted by this, the number of people flocking to the streets was a bit more than that at noon, the streets and alleys were overcrowded, the sound of hawking kept coming and going, it was extremely lively, but this kind of excitement had nothing to do with the Yue Palace, and people who said they were sick at home Li Zhen has already closed the door to thank guests, so she can't show up casually, so naturally she can't go anywhere, so she can only hold a rocking chair, and the cat is in the back garden of her home, basking in the sun while holding an idle book Looking at it, I didn't see it turning a page for a long time. There is no doubt that Li Zhen's mind is not on the book.

Li Zhen was very annoyed, not ordinary annoyance, not for other reasons, but because more than half a month had passed, and the chaos in the court he expected had not appeared, and he had not even seen a single sign of chaos approaching. But now, his Xiangzhou army has already been dispatched. As the saying goes, there is no turning back. At this time, it is impossible to withdraw the troops. If there is no change in the court situation, what awaits him may not be a good result. How could Li Zhen not be distracted, but now that the situation was out of his control, Li Zhen had no other way to think about it except to sit and wait.

"My lord, my lord!"

Li Zhen was so engrossed in her thoughts that she never noticed Pei Shoude's arrival, until Pei Shoude called out twice in a low voice, and then raised her head as if waking up from a dream.

"Oh, it's Shoude, why, there's news?"

Seeing that it was Pei Shoude who came, Li Zhen's spirit was lifted immediately, she turned over and sat up straight, and asked with a look of expectation on her face.

"Returning to the lord, there is movement in the palace today. According to the news from the inside, His Majesty woke up in the afternoon. After hearing the news, the empress rushed to Lishuixuan, but she has not seen it yet. Instead, she summoned General Cheng Wuting of the Yulin Army. Going in, I don't know what they are talking about. In addition, all the hidden stakes arranged by my son-in-law in Chang'an and Lantian have lost contact. It has been three days since the report, but there is no relevant news back. See The situation, I am afraid there is something strange, the prince has to guard against it!"

Pei Shoude originally came to report the news, but when he saw that Li Zhen was in a hurry, he dared not neglect it, so he hurriedly bowed and reported the news he had received one by one.

"Huh? This..."

If Li Zhen wants to plan big things, he must guard against not only Empress Wu, but also dare not ignore Li Xian's military power. For this reason, Li Zhen made a lot of deployments in secret, from Longguan to Xiaoshanguan. The manpower was small, and it was agreed to report every three days by carrier pigeons. What worried me was that Li Xian transferred the Hexi army to enter the customs. A few days ago, everything was normal. Transferred to Luoyang, but as soon as the current situation came out, Li Zhen couldn't feel complacent immediately. It's just that it was hard to tell that it was Li Xian who made the move, but the doubts in her heart had already grown.

"My lord, my son-in-law thinks that there may be drastic changes in the palace, and the court will be in chaos. Luoyang is already a dangerous city. The lord must not stay for long, and it is better to leave early."

Seeing that Li Zhen's expression was not right, Pei Shoude hurriedly persuaded him from the side.

"Well, Shoude, you immediately send an urgent letter to Chong'er, ordering him to lead his army to Luoyang at full speed without delay! Also, hurry up and contact the people in the Xiaoshan Pass area to see if there is anything unusual, go ahead. "

Although Li Zhen is a bit courageous, she is not the type who regards death as home. The reason why she stayed in Luoyang was that she wanted to use herself as a bait to confuse both Empress Wu and the crown prince, so as to cover Li Chong and others' army transfer operation. Although it is not completely clear yet, Li Zhen has a premonition that his deceptive actions are bankrupt, and he doesn't want to stay in Luoyang City anymore. Even if Pei Shoude doesn't say anything, he still plans to leave quickly. On the way, it was a good thing to go to join the army early, and he would not reject Pei Shoude's proposal, but before leaving, he had to make arrangements for the matter.

"Don't worry, my lord, my son-in-law will do it right away, please don't delay, lest things change."

Hearing what Li Zhen said, Pei Shoude was relieved a lot, and hurriedly agreed.

"It doesn't matter, those two can't seem to be able to take care of the king now, so let's go and get busy, and make up our own minds."

Although Li Zhen had made up her mind to go, she didn't intend to go into details with Pei Shoude, so she said vaguely and perfunctorily.

"No, my son-in-law will leave."

Pei Shoude opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade him a few more words, but seeing that Li Zhen frowned displeasedly, he didn't dare to say any more, he respectfully responded, and then exited the back garden , Since I went to Zhangluo all kinds of matters, I didn't mention it.

"Squeaky..."

After Pei Shoude left, Li Zhen did not go back to her room, but turned her head to look around, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she quickly walked to a rockery, and after reaching out her hand to grope for a few times, there was a piercing sound. There was a sudden sound of rubbing, and the originally rugged rockery burst open, revealing a dark door. Li Zhen jumped into it without hesitation, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. After a while, there was another sound of rubbing During the rise, the open door slowly closed, like that jagged rockery again, with no door to be seen anymore.
