A knife in love

Chapter 3241

Murong Danyan was stunned when he heard Li Zongyang's half-literal words, thinking to himself that this guy dropped his book bag in front of us, and he didn't know what his intentions were.Li Qiufeng had another thought, thinking to himself that Li Zongyang must have read the history books that recorded this matter when he quoted Zhang Jiuling's words from the scriptures.Since he has read history books, why the stories he tells are so different from the history books is really puzzling.

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were thinking about it, they only heard Li Zongyang continue to say: "Although Li Longji no longer appoints virtuous ministers and strives hard to govern as he did when he was in his prime, he is surrounded by gangsters who are greedy for women. He wanted to drink and have fun, but he respected Zhang Jiuling very much. Seeing that Zhang Jiuling was admonishing him not to depose Prince Li Ying, he thought twice, and finally kept Li Ying's crown prince.

"Concubine Wu Hui has painstakingly planned for many years, and she is about to accomplish it. In the end, Zhang Jiuling spoiled her good deeds. She was angry and anxious. She wished she could kill Zhang Jiuling immediately. It's just that she knew that Li Longji relied heavily on Zhang Jiuling. If she did something to Zhang Jiuling, Li Longji will never let himself go. Concubine Wu Hui thought over and over again, thinking that it would be beneficial to fight against Zhang Jiuling, and it would be more appropriate to find a way to buy Zhang Jiuling. Concubine Wu Hui made up her mind and sent her confidant Niu Guier to carry a lot of gold and silver Jewelry went to see Zhang Jiuling, claiming that as long as Zhang Jiuling did not stop Li Longji from making Li Mao the crown prince, besides giving all the gold, silver and jewelry to Zhang Jiuling, he also swore in front of Zhang Jiuling that if Li Mao became emperor, he would give it to Zhang Jiuling Wang Jue, in return.

"If you change to other ministers, seeing so many gold, silver and jewels in front of you, and you can also be promoted to the title of king, you must be ecstatic and agree. It should be noted that since the founding of Tang Dynasty by the great ancestor Li Yuan, until the reign of Li Longji , only Zhang Jianzhi and other five people were promoted to king by Zhongzong Li Xian because of their meritorious service in revitalizing the Tang Dynasty. In addition, no ministers with different surnames were awarded kings. If Zhang Jiuling can be crowned king, he will definitely be able to leave his name in history and influence his descendants .

"Unexpectedly, after Niu Guier finished speaking, Zhang Jiuling not only refused to agree to the matter, but became furious. He immediately tied Niu Guier with a rope, rewrapped the gold, silver and jewelry he brought, and brought them to Li In front of Longji, he told Concubine Wu Hui that Niu Guier had come to bribe him. Li Longji was furious, but he loved Concubine Wu Hui so much that he was reluctant to impose a heavy punishment, so he could only blame Niu Guier for his crimes. Zhang Jiuling saw that Li Longji was so protective of Concubine Wu Hui, although he was dissatisfied, but it was not good for the emperor's face, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and stopped talking. But after this Li Longji knew that the prince Li Ying was quite prestigious among the court officials, and many ministers were unwilling to abolish Li Ying's position as the prince, so they had to give up this idea.

"Although Li Longji didn't want to dethrone Li Ying for the time being, the vile concubine Wu Hui was unwilling to be reconciled. She just held back temporarily to wait for the opportunity. Later, Zhang Jiuling was framed by treacherous ministers such as Li Linfu and had to leave the capital. Concubine Wu Hui was overjoyed and came up with On a dark and stormy night, Concubine Wu Hui found a trusted eunuch who had already been bought by Li Longji with a lot of money, and asked him to go to the Prince's Mansion to deliver an order, saying that the Habayashi Army guarding the palace rebelled, The emperor summoned the three brothers Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, King Guang Li Ju and the eldest son-in-law Xue Ruo of the princess to enter the palace immediately to protect the emperor.

"Prince Li Ying is not easy to deal with, and the two kings E and Guang are also very smart, logically speaking, they shouldn't be fooled easily. It's just that the eunuch sent by Concubine Wu Hui to the Prince's residence is Li Longji's cronies, so the prince and the two kings don't believe it. And they knew that Li Longji was very suspicious. It was false to call four people into the palace for protection, and it was true to worry that the four people would participate in the rebellion. If they didn't rush to the palace immediately to protect the emperor, the emperor might suspect that the four people were related to the rebellion of the Habayashi army. Severe punishment came. So after the eunuchs left the Prince's Mansion, the three Li Ying brothers and Xue Ruo put on their armor and led more than a hundred guards to attack the palace.

"When Concubine Wu Hui heard the news that Li Ying and others were coming to the palace with their armor on, she immediately pretended to be in a panic and ran to see Li Longji. Ruo colluded with the Habayashi army, rebelled, and was attacking the palace. Li Longji was asked to escape from the palace as soon as possible, and summoned the king's division outside the city to deal with the rebels.

"After Li Longji heard what Concubine Wu Hui said, he didn't believe that the prince and the two kings dared to rebel. This is because Li Longji killed Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er, and Wei's mother and daughter, and later raided Princess Taiping's mansion, forcing him to death. His aunt, Princess Taiping, relied on the Habayashi Army guarding the palace. Therefore, after he ascended the throne and became emperor, he greatly recruited the generals and soldiers of the Habayashi Army. Chen Xuanli, the general who commanded the Yulin Army, was known as Li Longji's minister of arms together with Gao Lishi, and he was a close friend of Li Longji's cronies. Chen Xuanli defected to Li Longji and followed Li Longji to kill Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er and Wei The mother and daughter made great contributions. When Li Longji attacked Princess Taiping, Chen Xuanli presided over the matter. After Li Longji sat firmly on the throne of the emperor, Chen Xuanli was ordered to lead the Yulin Army to guard the palace and the capital. As long as With Chen Xuanli around, the Yubayashi Army would definitely not rebel. So Li Longji didn't believe it at all when he heard Concubine Wu Hui say that Li Ying and the Yubayashi Army were colluding to attack the imperial city.

"Although Concubine Wu Hui is cunning, she is a woman after all. She may be able to use some sinister and vicious methods to harm people, but it is still far from causing a big storm in the court and taking the opportunity to depose the crown prince Li Ying. Seeing that what she said was not believed by Li Longji at all, Concubine Wu Hui panicked and almost showed her flaws. At this time, her son-in-law Yang Hui ran to the palace and lied that the prince brothers and Xue Ruo led the servants to rebel, claiming that To avenge Concubine Zhao Li, Huangfu Deyi and Liu Cairen, they will go to Xuanwumen now.

"Li Longji didn't believe that the Li Ying brothers could bribe the Habayashi army to rebel, but he heard from Yang Hui that the three of them were avenging their respective mothers, so they launched a rebellion, but he couldn't help but not believe it. Thinking of the time when Emperor Taizong ambushed and killed the crown prince at the Xuanwu Gate Li Longji was terrified about the past with Qi Wang Li Yuanji, fearing that he would end up in the same fate as Prince Jiancheng, so he had to find ways to quell the rebellion.

"Yang Hui is treacherous and cunning. In terms of wisdom, he is far superior to Concubine Wu Hui. He knows Li Longji's temperament well, and knows that he is ashamed of the death of Concubine Zhao Li and others, but the more guilty Li Longji feels, the more The more I was afraid that someone would bring up this matter. Therefore, Yang Hui didn't say that the three Li Ying brothers had bribed the Habayashi Army to rebel in order to fight for the throne, but only said that they wanted to avenge Concubine Zhao Li and others. As a result, Li Longji became furious and had to punish Li Ying severely. The three brothers are not allowed!"
