Chapter 64 Soldiers besiege the Duke's Mansion
When Li Longji heard this short sentence, his heart couldn't help but beat.
For a moment, he did not consider the truth or falsehood of this sentence, but felt an inexplicable fear.
He has reached this point today through a coup, otherwise with his embarrassing position, he would never be able to ascend the throne.
During the Tanglong coup, he supported his father to ascend the throne, and under the righteous resignation of King Ning Li Xian, he became the crown prince.
In the innate coup, he eliminated Princess Taiping's huge and terrifying power and forced his father to hand over real power, thus making him who he is today.
Therefore, Li Longji was more afraid of this issue than anyone else. If the mother of the country, the crown prince, and the general of the border were really gathered together, it would be a huge disaster.
In just a moment, Li Longji calmed down. He had a lot of experience in this area and was not confused. The poem that made him throbbed.
The black clouds are pressing against the city and are about to destroy it, and the armor light opens toward the sun and golden scales.
The sound of horns is everywhere in the autumn scenery, and the swallow's fat is filled with purple night.
Half a roll of red flag is approaching Yishui, and the frost is heavy and the chill sounds cannot rise.
I will repay you on the golden platform and support Jade Dragon to die for you.
Thinking of Pei Min, who was young and frivolous, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty over the years, he said with a grim face: "Cui Di, do you know what your words mean? Anyone must be responsible for every word he has said."
When Cui Cheng heard Li Longji call him "Cui Di", he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Cui Di is his original name, and it is in line with his brother Cui Shi.
Cui Xi was Princess Taiping's confidant and sentenced Li Longji to death.
Li Longji specially changed Cui Di's "di" to "clean" to mean that impurities precipitate and muddy waters become clear, which is a great favor.
Now Li Longji called his original name directly, which shows that he was extremely angry.
Cui Cheng said solemnly: "I dare not hide anything about such a big deal... This is a letter intercepted by Qinglong." He said, taking out the secret letter of cloth and raising it high above his head.
Gao Lishi wanted to go forward to get it.
Li Longji had already taken the cloth to his hands first and spread it out and looked carefully. The cloth clearly stated that once a major event was successful, he would be appointed as the prince of Pei Min, whether to enter the court or to become prime minister in the border areas of Yongzhen, he would choose his own choice.
He clasped his hands tightly, and the cloth left and right had already been grabbed and twisted together, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if this cloth is true, it can only represent the prince to win over Duke Pei, rather than the Duke's conspiracy with the prince, let alone involve the queen."
"Your Majesty!" Cui Cheng said sincerely: "Your Majesty respects Duke Pei and does not want to believe all this. I was like you at first, and always thought that Duke Gong is a genius pillar of our dynasty. But I know people and face but not the heart... Your Majesty, do you think if Duke Pei was not associated with Queen Wang, why would the Qingyu Alliance rob the Mingxiong Monk?"
Li Longji paused and frowned and said, "Is it the Qingyu Alliance done it?"
Cui Cheng said: "Eight out of ten! And Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can immediately send troops to the Duke's Mansion. The thieves have taken action. Just before, they gathered in Pei's Mansion, and there was also a wizard master from Miao Village in western Xiangxi. Your Majesty can immediately send people to surround the Duke's Mansion, and all the people will be captured."
Wizard!
Seeing Cui Cheng doing everything in this way, Li Longji's confidence would inevitably be shaken even if he believed Pei Min in his heart.
What's more, any emperor is the product of suspicion.
"His Majesty!"
Cui Hong, who had not spoken on the side, said: "Qinglong has been in the dark, watching the stability of the temple for His Majesty. He also discovered the Mingxiong Monk, step by step, peeled off his silk and pulled the cocoon, and then discovered this huge conspiracy. Now my father has found the Qingyu Alliance, and has already alarmed the snake, forcing them to find it. If he doesn't take action, it will be too late! Please make a decision quickly, and the people can guarantee that everything is true and there is no falsehood."
Li Longji glanced at Cui Hong and frowned.
Cui Cheng immediately said: "Your Majesty forgives the crime. This is the dog son Cui Hong. Qinglong is secretly hidden. I dare not trust others and specially invite the dog son to help. This conspiracy was discovered by the dog son..."
Li Longji took a deep breath and looked cautiously and solemnly: "If there is any accident in today's affairs, you must bear all the responsibility."
As he said, he said to Gao Lishi: "Tell the order of Wang Maozhong, Chen Xuanli immediately mobilized the imperial guards to surround Pei..." As he spoke, he immediately changed his words: "Tell Wang Maozhong, Chen Xuanli each to lead 500 soldiers and follow me to the Duke Pei's mansion. I want to go and investigate the truth in person!" He said suddenly, thinking of Pei Min's unparalleled swordsmanship and the heroic deeds of the Uighurs' tent alone in the center of tens of thousands of Uighur military and civilians, and added another sentence, "Call Yang Sixu and ask him to summon twenty, fifty...one hundred good players to go together."
Gao Lishi took the order solemnly.
Yang Sixu was also an eunuch, but this eunuch was different. He was burly and powerful, and had the ability to be invincible to thousands of men. As early as the past year, he had made contributions to the rebel general Li Duozuo. Later, the leader of Annan Mei Xuancheng rebelled and called himself the "Black Emperor". He conspired with Linyi and Zhenla Kingdom to capture Annan Prefecture.
Yang Sixu led 100,000 troops to take the old way of Ma Yuan, the General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and unexpectedly, he personally killed the thief heads to quell the rebellion in the south.
Compared with Wang Maozhong's incompetence and Chen Xuanli's meanness, Yang Sixu is the most important general who Li Longji can truly respect in Chang'an.
Cui Cheng's face changed slightly and he advised: "The thief is so powerful, your majesty must not take risks."
Li Longji shouted with a green face: "The Duke of the Kingdom has made contributions to the country and the country. Before the matter is clear, Cui Qing is cautious. I want to check the truth about this matter in person..."
Soon, Wang Maozhong, Chen Xuanli, Yang Sixu and his troops gathered together.
Li Longji did not pay attention to the show, but directly rode his dragon horse and rushed towards Pei Min's Duke's Mansion.
Cui Cheng and Cui Hong naturally followed.
Cui Cheng saw that Li Longji was half-believing and half-doubted, and felt a little nervous.
Cui Hong looked proud. As long as Li Longji arrived at Pei's mansion and found the evidence that he had hidden in advance from Pei's mansion, Pei Min would not argue.
The palace is not far from Pei Mansion, only a distance from a city.
Soon Li Longji's army arrived near Pei Mansion.
Wang Maozhong and Chen Xuanli cleared the streets and surrounded Pei's mansion tightly.
As for Yang Sixu, he naturally followed Li Longji.
When he learned that Li Longji was coming, Ning Ze, the manager of Pei's mansion, hurried out to greet him.
I thought the prince was already the number one big shot, but I didn’t want to see Li Longji’s true face today.
Ning Ze followed the salute with awe and said, "The Caomin Pei Mansion is in charge of Ning Ze, and has met the saint!"
Seeing that Pei Min did not come out to greet him, Li Longji looked a little angry, and the remaining persistence in his heart became loose.
Gao Lishi stepped forward and shouted, "Your Majesty is here, why don't the Duke come to greet him?"
Ning Ze raised his head blankly and said, "The Duke went out early in the morning and is not in the mansion."
