The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 660
The wind was cold and the snow was full, and there was no one to put the fishing rod in melancholy.

From time to time, the official ship bridge passed, and the white gull flew to the front beach.

——"Fishing Snow Pavilion" Jiang Kui (Song Dynasty)
……

After Bai Fu resigned, Suzong's heart was hard to calm down, and it had passed the third watch, but he still didn't feel sleepy.

As an emperor, he has said too much today.

If it hadn't been for the guarantee from Qing Wang Li Cong and Li Mi, no matter how much he admired Bai Fu, he would not have dared to confide his true thoughts to Bai Fu.

As an emperor, he must never allow others to spy on his hobbies, emotions, sorrows and joys.

This is an iron law!
At this point, his lessons of blood and tears have been too many:

His favorite concubine, the biological mother of Princess Qingluan, was demoted to a commoner and became a nun;
Qingluan, her beloved princess, was abducted at Yuan Xiye;
General Wang Zhongsi, who he loved as a brother, was secretly arrested and died in a deep prison——'Li Hen Tian';
……

I thought that these things would never happen again when I sat on the dragon chair and ruled the world. However, the bad luck continued and worsened:
Li Tan, the prince of Jianning who he relied on the most, was set up to alienate him and died in his own hands;

The emperor Yongwang Li Lin, whom he cared about the most, was instigated by others to rebel in the south of the Yangtze River;

Li Mi, an important minister who is also a teacher and a friend, dare not stay by his side, retreating to avoid disaster;

My favorite princess, Qingluan, was 'kidnapped' again;
Empress Zhang had just discussed with her about the replacement of the crown prince when the five-year-old King Xing Li Bi died unexpectedly;

……

How many enemies are hidden beside me, and what dangers are there that I am completely unaware of?Thinking of these, Suzong shuddered, looking at the deep, dark, empty and silent palace, unable to sleep at night.

Sitting on this dragon chair is like being alone!

……

Suzong recalled the scene when he first became the prince:
At that time, I was still young, and it was the sweet time when my father was kind and my son was filial.

On that day, Concubine Wu Hui, the biological mother of Shouwang Li Mao, was murdered by a ghost and died of a sudden illness.I accompanied my father to Concubine Wu Hui's bedroom, seeing Concubine Wu Hui's death, I was terrified, curled up beside my father and sobbed softly.

With a livid face, the father said to himself: "Heng'er, never let people know who your favorite is. Otherwise, they will leave you one by one..."

As an emperor, the one he loves is his door and his weakness. Once the opponent finds out, he will definitely attack from here.

Thinking of this, Suzong's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought: "My father has seen this a long time ago, why do you still love Yang Yuhuan so much?
'Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and spring breeze blows Revlon. '

Although Yang Yuhuan was beautiful and affectionate, all of the three thousand beauties in the harem were as beautiful as flowers.What's more, after getting along for so many years, even if they are not annoying, they are also tired.

In order to let the noble lady eat the fresh lychees from her hometown, she spared no effort to mobilize the meteor scouts to send the lychees to Chang'an in an urgent manner.

This move is comparable to King Zhou You's feudal lords.

Yang Yuhuan is loved by three thousand people, and everyone in the world knows and knows.

Why did the emperor want to let the world know his love for the imperial concubine?

Why did the father deliberately create a public opinion that he doesn't love the country and loves the beauties?
……

The biggest cause of the Anlushan Rebellion was not Yang Guozhong, but his father.It was the father who tolerated and raised traitors that raised An Lushan, an ungrateful Zhongshan wolf.

The rebel army invaded Chang'an, burned, killed and looted, but the forbidden army could not take care of their families, so they could only flee in embarrassment with the emperor's relatives.

Maweipo mutinied, and the enmity between the soldiers of the Forbidden Army was not only against Yang Guozhong, but also against his father.

The original intention of the generals of the Forbidden Army was to remove treacherous officials such as the father emperor and Yang Guozhong in the name of "Qingjun side", taking advantage of the chaos, and supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The reason why the purpose of the mutiny has changed is that the problem lies in this: all the generals of the Imperial Army firmly believe that the father loves Yang Yuhuan more than his own life.

Taking advantage of this point, Chen Xuanli, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, proposed to exchange his life for his life.Killing Concubine Yang is the greatest punishment for the father, and it will make him wake up and regret the rest of his life.

When Yang Yuhuan's hanged body was placed in front of the three armies, the generals finally let go of their resentment towards their father, and the three armies were dissipated and their suspicions were resolved.

It's a good trick to lose the car to protect the handsome, and Li Daitao's plan is to freeze!

Chen Xuanli's trick is so clever, he diverted his attention, misled the generals, and instantly settled such a dangerous matter of mutiny by the imperial army.

No wonder the father didn't blame him afterwards. To this day, Gao Lishi and Zuo Longwu General Chen Xuanli are still by his side, as close as ever...

The truth of this matter has long been dusty, and I am afraid that only these three people in this world know.

It's a pity that the noble lady is a concubine, and she really believed her father's words, thinking that she just faked her death by taking medicine to deceive the Imperial Army.It is estimated that Yang Yuhuan still thought in his heart underground: "I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and I wish to be Lian Lizhi in the ground." '

Ginger is still old and spicy! "

Thinking of this, Suzong looked at the Xingqing Palace where Xuanzong lived, with an indescribably complicated expression in his eyes...

……

On the way back to Bashu Guild Hall from Daming Palace, Bai Fu's head was like a precision-made armillary sphere, repeatedly calculating every detail:
Who is the biggest beneficiary after getting rid of Sukjong?
Judging from the clear cards, once Suzong died, the candidates who had the opportunity to ascend to the throne of God were, in order: Prince Li Chu (Li Yu), Supreme Emperor Li Longji, and Yue King Li Xi.

Of course, this is only a superficial relationship of interest. Whether there are hidden people behind it still needs to be further explored.

Although the current situation is complicated and chaotic, the order of the court is orderly.Suzong held great power, and most of the important officials in the court and the leaders of the army took orders from Suzong.Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to rely on ordinary means to seize power.

Taking Xuanzong, Prince Li Chu, and Yue Wang Li Xi as examples, if they wanted to usurp the throne, they could only use extraordinary means, such as poisoning, assassination, and launching a palace coup.

Regarding diet, the emperors of all dynasties have strict verification procedures.It's almost impossible to poison your diet.

In the same way, if you want to assassinate the king, you have almost no chance of winning.After Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Dynasty, it rarely happened.

Moreover, through poisoning, assassination, etc., if successful, the position of king must fall on the crown prince.The beneficiary is too obvious, so once it is implemented, the prince is the first suspect.Unless someone intentionally framed the prince, they would not adopt such means.

Because of this reason, if Xuanzong and Yue Wang Li Xi wanted to usurp the throne, they would not choose methods such as poisoning or assassination. The best solution was to launch a palace coup and seize power in one fell swoop while taking advantage of the chaos.

When it comes to launching a coup, Xuanzong is familiar with the road and is an expert. Back then, he relied on the "Tang Long Coup" to rise to power in one fell swoop and become the ultimate winner.

So, will history repeat itself? "

……

Back at the Bashu Guild Hall, Bai Fu asked Huang Zhen to discuss the matter secretly.

At this time, Huang Zhen was already the head of the Chang'an sub-helm of the Sichuan Gang, and he acted more alertly and wisely.After Bai Fu returned to Chang'an this time, he quickly integrated into the capital, which was not unrelated to Huang Zhen's plan.

Bai Fu asked: "Brother Zhen, Xuanzong was only an ordinary son of the royal family back then, hiding in the dark, so he was able to secretly plan and finally launch the 'Tang Long Coup'.

Now that Xuanzong has no soldiers and no power, and is under strict surveillance by Suzong, if he wants to usurp the throne, he will be as powerful as the sky.But for some reason, I just doubt him? "

Huang Zhen thought for a while, and said: "'Li Hentian' has imprisoned you for three years, Xuanzong has a deep hatred with you, could it be your preconception?"

Bai Fu frowned, and said: "It's also possible. I even suspect that it is precisely because of this that His Majesty chose me to be the leader of Qianniuwei.

But if Xuanzong really wanted to launch a coup, who would he use to accomplish it? "

Huang Zhen took out some letterheads from the secret box, handed them to Bai Fu, and said, "I can't tell. I recently received information that the Maitreya Sect has revived in Chang'an. Is there some kind of connection between the two?"

After reading the secret letter, Bai Fu said, "Master Fang is still in Chang'an, right? 'Catching God' has sharp eyes, and all of this probably cannot escape his eyes."
