Chapter 22 twenty one

As soon as this remark came out, Chang He's face changed, and he scolded: "Reward, reward a piece of shit. During the war, the prince said himself, 'Chang He is brave, and he will be promoted to three levels after the war'. Forget about it completely." Changsun Wuji showed a flustered look on purpose, and said, "Well, General Chang, you can't say this outside, walls have ears!" Chang He breathed alcohol Said: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, I'm just a small gatekeeper. I don't want to do it a long time ago. Let them hear it and fall down."

At this point, Changsun Wuji had a thorough understanding of Chang He's temperament, and also understood that he actually harbored dissatisfaction with Jiancheng in his heart.Before coming here, Changsun Wuji's plan to deal with Chang He was to bribe him with a lot of money. Now, he decided to change his mind.Changsun Wuji pretended to be aggrieved for Chang He, sighed and said: "I didn't expect the general to still hold such resentment in his heart. I pointed out a way for the general to be promoted to five ranks in a row, and to wear a red robe. Is the general interested in hearing it?" Chang He didn't even think about it: "I'm a straightforward person, if you have anything to say, please speak up!"

Changsun Wuji said bluntly: "General, please do King Qin a big favor, and bring a few people to the Xuanwu Gate tomorrow morning." Chang He's face changed, and he was half sober, rolling his tongue: "You, what do you want to do? Changsun Wuji stood up: "What are you doing? I want to rebel!" Hearing this, Chang He was startled into a cold sweat: "Rebellion?" Changsun Wuji said slowly, "Just now I saw that the general was so refreshing when drinking. It has been concluded that you are a bold person. I want to ask the general a question, why did you join the army?" Chang He replied: "Of course you want to earn a decent reputation, honor your ancestors." Changsun Wuji's speech speed was obvious: "According to my opinion You know, your generals are often illiterate, you don't know much about military strategy, your martial arts can only be regarded as above-average, and you have a master who doesn't believe in you, how will you earn a decent reputation if you keep messing around like this?"

Changsun Wuji's tone was aggressive, and Chang He was speechless when asked.Changsun Wuji went on to say: "You can't use your ability to earn a decent fame, the only way is to earn it with courage! Now that the King of Qin is about to become a big event, God has placed an opportunity in front of you. Here's the opportunity." Chang He looked at Changsun Wuji, who was completely sober from the wine, and suddenly laughed: "King Qin wants to achieve great things, why should he achieve great things? Now there are tens of thousands of princes in Chang'an City, and he, King Qin How many people are there? Only a fool will go with you, Jun Hong, let's go back and report their plot to the prince."

Changsun Wuji laughed loudly: "General Chang! You have been fighting in the Tang army for ten years, don't you know the methods of King Qin? King Qin has led soldiers for so many years, and he has fought few battles where the weak defeated the strong. Back then, you must have heard about the story of him leading a hundred cavalry to rescue Emperor Yang from a million troops. What is it to take a prince and Yuanji in Chang'an city? The prince has long wanted to put King Qin to death. You It doesn’t matter to him whether to report or not, he won’t get much red reward, besides, haven’t you learned how the crown prince treats heroes? But King Qin is different. Daddy, if you help him, what kind of honor will it be, General Chang, think about it, not everyone can meet such an opportunity!"

Jing Junhong gave Chang He a hand: "Brother Chang He, Master Changsun is right. How many people in the East Palace want to ask the crown prince for a stutter? Does the crown prince take care of you? The king of Qin can watch them all." What about you, if you bet on this treasure, you can make a lot of money!" Chang He stopped, and Changsun Wuji's words really moved him.He is an out-and-out vulgar man who has never read a day. Of course, he is not like those scholars who are full of knowledge. Before doing things, he always thinks of the teachings of some saints. which way to go.It seems a bit risky to follow King Qin, but if King Qin succeeds, then he has made a great achievement, and it can be said that he will never have to worry about it for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, he couldn't help jumping wildly in his heart. Changsun Wuji said that after the matter is completed, he can wear a red robe, which means he will be among the ranks of the fifth-rank officials. Temptation again.Under the temptation of the vermilion color, his defenses began to collapse, and he slowly returned to the table and sat down again.

A stone in Changsun Wuji's heart fell to the ground, and he understood that he was done.He has captured Chang He's heart, and the capture of Chang He's heart is equivalent to the generals of the Qin family having captured the Xuanwu Gate.And taking control of the Xuanwu Gate, the coup was actually half successful. After Changsun Wuji brought the news that Chang He had been bought, the Qin family began to prepare for it. Li Shimin first sent people to secretly send some family members out of the city and hid them with some reliable relatives and friends, so as not to fall into the East Palace or Qi Dynasty in an emergency. The power of the government is controlled by others.Then, according to the plan in advance, Li Shimin went to the palace alone to kowtow to Li Yuan at night, and told him about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's fornication in the harem, adultery with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu.

At Li Yuan's age, guarding a bunch of beautiful concubines, he already didn't have enough confidence in himself, so after hearing Li Shimin's presentation, Li Yuan was of course furious.Incest between concubine and prince, this is no ordinary scandal!Furious, he ordered the imperial guards to strengthen the defense of Miyagi, and at the same time ordered Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu to be imprisoned in their respective palaces, and then passed an order to let Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji enter the palace to face the saint the next day.Because the two have heavy soldiers in their hands, in order to prevent accidents, he set the place to meet the two sons on a painting boat in Taiye Pond, creating the illusion that the father and son were enjoying the garden together, so as to avoid accidents between them. Mr. Doubt.

Until dawn, Li Yuan didn't close his eyes.Early in the morning, he got up from the dragon bed and walked to the painting boat in Taiye Pond in a depressed mood.The weather was a bit sweltering, and there was a cloud floating low in the sky, looking like it was going to rain, but it didn't rain anyway.After getting on the boat and sitting down, a gust of wind came from the lake, bringing a bit of coolness, which calmed Li Yuan's erupting mood like a volcano.He looked at the low-hanging cloud, and for some reason suddenly felt ominous, so he ordered Taishi Ling Fu Yi to ask about the latest celestial phenomena.

The emperor regarded himself as the son of heaven, and the only thing he admired in his heart was heaven, so almost all the feudal emperors in ancient China had the same habit. When they were in a trance, they would ask the sky. official.In the Tang Dynasty, Taishi Ling was in charge of this matter, and they were usually oily "old Jianghu" who were good at figuring out the emperor's mind. The emperor himself went to confirm his own thoughts.Sure enough, after telling a lot of weird celestial phenomena in the past two days, the sentence "Taibai sees Qin Fen" caught Li Yuan's attention. He felt a little bit in his heart, and thought, this Taibai star is not an ordinary star, "Taibai see "Qin Fen", does it indicate that something will happen to King Qin?Li Yuan began to turn his mind from his resentment towards Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji's incest to Li Shimin who reported the incident.

Although Li Yuan didn't know that Crown Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji had already conspired to murder Qin Wang Li Shimin in Kunming Lake, and he didn't know that Li Shimin would take the lead in countering the other party in the palace today, but he is a man who has been competing for power all his life after all. Man, decades of ups and downs, has cultivated in him a special sensitivity to discern conspiracy.He asked himself secretly, why did Li Shimin suddenly enter the palace late at night and tell him such an important matter?Thinking of this, he changed his original plan of seers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to reprimand them for being unworthy, and decided to summon three of his most trusted ministers, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu, to learn from them some of the recent events in the East Palace and the Qi Mansion. and the movement between the Qin family.The fast horses in the palace quickly summoned the three important ministers to the boat.
