Great Tang princess

Chapter 779 Detailed Plan
In Jixian Temple, following Wu Zetian's voice, fell into silence.

Li Yuechen picked up the teacup, thinking about how to do this matter.

In fact, she could understand what her mother meant, and to choose this time for her brother to launch a coup d'état, it had to be when she was not around.

After all, for many years, Li Yuechen's external personality has been neutral, and he will not participate in the internal struggle of the royal family.

In addition, everyone knows that she has always been very filial. In this case, the coup was definitely on the mother's side.

However, she is recognized as the current God of War and has great prestige in the army. With her around, this coup would not be possible.

So this time, it is better to take advantage of Li Jinzhong's rebellion, let her go to suppress the rebellion, and then act while she is away.

In this way, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the princess was not in Dongdu at that time, and everything was settled after she came back.

Li Xian also understood this truth, but he frowned after hearing it: "But this is a temporary decision, let me choose the right person at this moment, isn't it..."

After all, this is a coup d'état, a forced palace.

Even if it's for acting, it has to be a little bit like it.But for such a big event, who can agree to you immediately after hearing you say it?

It is absolutely impossible for someone who can get into court to be a fool, and it is impossible for him to immediately agree to what you say.

"You can ask the princess to help you with this matter, she must have a solution." Wu Zetian took a sip of tea, "Although her ability is not top-notch, at least she is better than ordinary people."

"But even so, she alone is not enough..." Li Xian frowned and replied, suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head, "By the way, Shangguan Wan'er..."

"It's best not to let her get involved!" Li Yuechen shook his head. "Everyone knows that she has an unusual relationship with me. If she is involved, people will suspect that I am involved behind this matter..."

Wu Zetian raised her hand suddenly and interrupted her: "She should participate. She is your appointment as the next chief minister of the cabinet. She doesn't have enough credit for such a position. Why should she sit?"

This is true. Generally speaking, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he must put the heroes in various important positions.

This is the so-called meritorious deed reward.

If it is a normal succession emperor, there is actually no need to do this, and he can take over the courtiers left by the previous emperor.

But the coup is different. After all, so many people followed you to kill your head. If you don’t give anything afterwards, something will definitely go wrong.

This is the so-called meritorious service of the dragon. After the work is done, it must be rewarded according to the merits!

Therefore, if Shangguan Wan'er is to be appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future, then she must assume a sufficiently important role in this coup d'état!

"Actually not."

Li Xian frowned and thought for a while: "Now that Shangguan Wan'er is Fengge Sheren, there is no need to win her over in advance, as long as she plays an important role at that time, right? Outsiders feel that Yuechen is involved behind the scenes..."

Hearing what my brother said, Li Yuechen was taken aback for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up: "I never thought that brother would come up with such a method."

"Are you praising your brother?" Li Xian asked with drooping eyelids.

"Okay, don't play around!"

Wu Zetian interrupted the cheerful atmosphere: "Tomorrow I will ask Chen'er to suppress the rebellion in the court hall. This matter must be fully settled within a few days!"

"It's not easy, the coup needs the army, where can I go..."

"Don't worry, I'm leaving, you go to Wu Sansi, he will definitely help you!"

Now Wu Sansi is the minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Yuechen, the minister, is not around, so he can command the army.

At that time, as long as you tell Geng Yunqiang to cooperate well here, there will be no problem at all.

Besides, Qianniuwei didn't have to dispatch all of them. This was essentially just an exercise, as long as Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi brothers led the team to complete it.

This coup is essentially an attitude, and it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.

Therefore, it is impossible to keep secrets from members of the royal family. You must tell them the cause and effect, tell them that this is a drama, not a real coup, and that the royal family did not kill each other.

The significance of this coup is to make an attitude for outsiders, let them know that Li Xian's throne was earned by himself, and he is also a powerful emperor, so don't make trouble for him in the future.

At the same time, it is also for the purpose of changing the country name back in the future, and preparing for the rehabilitation of some people who were killed by my mother back then.

Although there is a saying that a secret that is known by a third person is not a secret, but some things are like this, true or false is not important, what is important is the matter itself.

It's like the whole world knows that a certain country has a mysterious special forces, but he himself just doesn't admit it.

There is no need to keep this matter secret at all, as long as most people can't react before the operation is over.

"Wu Sansi? Will he help me?" Li Xian asked in disbelief.

Wu Zetian smiled: "Although my nephew is just an ordinary man, he is not stupid either. How long have you been a prince now? If he still has thoughts that he shouldn't have, he deserves his death..."

At least she thinks that she is worthy of the Wu family.

It has been many years since Li Xian became the crown prince. If these Wu family's children still have unreasonable thoughts at this time, it is purely out of their minds.

This kind of IQ, if you want to live, go home and farm as soon as possible, it is simply impatient to live in the court.

"That's good, we have an army. But after all, the coup d'état, if no one dies..." Li Xian still frowned.

After all, a coup d'état is also a military conflict. If no one is killed, it is too false to be true.

Although this matter itself is false, you can't make people foolish, can you?
"Isn't that hard to say? During the time I'm going on an expedition, just ask Dali Temple to secretly send dozens of death-row prisoners over here."

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Anyway, let them see that there is indeed a dead body in the imperial city the next day..."

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yuechen to let the soldiers he trained with a lot of money die in such things.

So just find a substitute for the dead ghost, it's not too simple.

In Chang'an, the eastern capital, and nearby counties, it is no problem to gather dozens of death-row prisoners to come out.

"Okay, listen to you!"

Li Xian nodded: "I'll explain it to Lian Er when I get back tonight."

……

Today's Jixian Temple was closed for a whole day, and no outsider knew what the people inside were talking about.

Including Zhang Chengxin, the old eunuch who served the two emperors, could only stand outside the door and wait.

In the evening, Li Yuechen returned to the Princess Mansion, and directly called Shangguan Wan'er to his room.

After brewing a cup of tea, he drove all the servants out, and told her alone what happened in Jixian Temple today.

Shangguan Wan'er listened quietly while drinking tea, but did not speak.

Because what Li Yuechen said, she would do what she did.

After she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er asked: "Your Highness, what should I say then?"

"Just adapt to the situation!" Li Yuechen smiled, "As long as it's not too fake, I believe in your ability!"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand!"

At the same time, on the other side, after Li Xian returned to the Prince's mansion, he found that the Crown Princess Wei Lianer was playing mahjong with several other concubines.

Today's Li Xian only has three concubines, plus Wei Lian'er, the four of them can just make a mahjong table.

Seeing Li Xian's return, several people stood up and saluted.

However, Li Xian just waved his hands: "Let's all go back today, Gu and Lian'er have something to say."

After the three concubines saluted and got up to leave, Wei Lian'er noticed that his expression was not right, and was about to ask.

Li Xian waved his hands to the other servants: "You too, go out and guard!"

The servants agreed to leave one after another, and Sun Jingbang wanted to go out, but was stopped by Li Xian.

After all, he is the personal eunuch who has been taken care of since he was a child, and the future chief executive, if even he cannot be trusted, then it will be a big problem.

Wei Lian'er made a cup of tea herself and put it in front of him, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Aniang is about to abdicate..." Li Xian sighed slightly, "Let me prepare to ascend the throne."

Wei Lianer was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Sun Jingbang who was also bewildered beside her, and then asked, "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you frowning?"

"It's not a formal pass on the throne to me, Auntie wants me to launch a coup and ascend the throne in the form of forced palace!" Li Xian replied.

"Ah?" Wei Lian'er opened her mouth wide all of a sudden, but she didn't seem to be able to react.

Sun Jingbang next to him also looked confused, what's going on?How many years has it been since the crown prince was established, but now he does not intend to pass on the throne, but let his own son launch a coup?What is this operation?
Of course, a eunuch like him would never dare to speak such words, and just listened quietly.

"Aniang said that after I ascended the throne, I must rehabilitate many people before me and change the country name back, so I have to do this, and she will fully cooperate..." Li Xian explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Wei Lian'er nodded slightly after listening, and after thinking for a few seconds, she replied softly: "I understand, but do you need the help of the hidden guard?"

Li Xian nodded, explained the matter to her, and asked her to find someone.

After all, a play is performed for the audience, without an audience, how can the play continue?
After thinking about it carefully: "In terms of candidates, Your Highness, Concubine Rong, think about it carefully, and I should be able to find a suitable candidate before tomorrow night..."

Li Xian nodded: "Lian'er, this is all up to you!"

"Your Highness, don't want to see others. Husband and wife are one, why are you so polite?" Wei Lian'er said with a light smile.

Today, when Li Xian spoke so clearly, Wei Lian'er also figured out many things in the past.

But she decided not to bother, because it didn't make sense.

All these years, Li Xian treated her well, and everyone knew that having such a husband was already the greatest happiness.

So those other things, just go with the wind, no matter how entangled it is, it doesn't make any sense.

Maybe it also has something to do with getting older, now Wei Lian'er just wants to help her husband and raise her children.

As for other things... I really don't have the energy to think about it.

……

The next day is the day of the court.

In the court, Wu Zetian announced the rebellion of the Khitan people, and announced on the spot that Li Jinzhong was renamed Li Jinmie, and Sun Wanrong was renamed Sun Wanzhan.

Sitting below, Li Yuechen couldn't help but want to raise his hands to cover his face. Unexpectedly, at such an advanced age, his mother's secondary school problems have not diminished at all.

But the other ministers looked calm, as if they were used to it.

Then it was announced that Li Yuechen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, would go out to take these two people down!

Li Yuechen also stood up and accepted the order seriously, saying that he would leave within three days.

Although I can understand the actions of these two people in my heart, but in any case, it is a fact that the army rebelled.

To rebel is to slap the court in the face, so even if you can't bear it, this battle must be fought.

In order to protect Li Yuechen's victory in this battle, he specially changed the year name: Desheng.

Detongde means to return from victory.

The ministers were not at all worried about the outcome of this war.

You must know that this is Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, recognized as number one in the world.

After coming down to court, many ministers instead smiled and bet how long the Khitans could last this time.

……

After Li Yuechen went to court, he did not go back directly to the Princess Mansion, but came to the Ministry of War.

First, write a letter to Li Chongrun and ask Hang Glider to deliver it.

The content is also very simple, let him try his best to find a way to bring Zhao Wenhong back alive.

It doesn't matter whether it's negotiating, or you can just take people there to grab it. In short, we must try our best to ensure that Zhao Wenhui comes back alive.

She also said that she would pass when she was ready, so that he could prepare for war.

Then he called his second brother Li Xian over and explained the coup to him.

After the explanation, Li Xian didn't show any special expression, he just took a sip from his teacup calmly: "What do I need to do?"

"Brother, you don't need to participate in anything, just watch quietly." Li Yuechen replied, "The only job is to pay more attention when transporting the death row prisoners."

Li Xian nodded to show that he understood: "Forget it, once this matter is over, my royal family should be completely changed. Grandpa's last wish has been fulfilled."

"I hope so, but I can't relax, I still have to educate the juniors well." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for this expedition. You don't even need to bring people. It is enough to directly use the people and equipment from Li Chongrun's side.

And the reason why Li Yuechen said it would take three days was to arrange things here.

This matter must be explained to the children of the royal family, especially the brothers Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi, who are the direct participants in this matter.

At the same time, all soldiers participating in this exercise must sign a non-disclosure agreement. If the secret is leaked in the future, they will be court-martialed!
The reason why Li Yuechen said to leave in three days was to arrange these things.

There is no need to worry about the others. It is very easy to go there now. It takes at most two days to reach the northern border by airship.

Coupled with today's various weapons and equipment, she is not worried about war at all.

Instead, I was afraid that there would be accidents and mistakes in things here after I set off.

And Shangguan Wan'er didn't need to worry about her anymore, she tried her best to follow her arrangement and make preparations for this coup d'état.
