Chapter 904 Despicable Whistleblowing

The condemnation group in Chang'an has become a joke between the government and the public. A group of clan dignitaries who had been robbed of all their property by An Lushan were unwilling to lose. They kept gathering together to write letters and request compensation from the emperor. Li Heng himself was extremely poor, so how could he have the money to compensate them?

Emperor Li Heng simply ignored them and let them go about their business.

That afternoon, several key members of the denunciation group once again gathered secretly in the palace of Wei Wang Li Zhen.

Li Zhen, the king of Wei, was originally the king of Si Qi. Li Ye was granted the title of Queen Qi, so he changed the title of king of Wei.

Li Zhen was actually the son of King Xue Li Ye, nicknamed Jiulang. When he was four years old, he was adopted by his uncle, King Qi Li Fan.

Li Zhen is in her forties. She has a plump body and a tall figure. In today's terms, she is tall, fat and huge. Not only is he tall and powerful, but he is also ambitious. He dreams of ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

He followed the Supreme Emperor to Chengdu and has been serving the Supreme Emperor Li Longji. Li Longji also saw his thoughts and decided to take advantage of his ambition.

At this time, Xue King Li Can also hurried over and said to Li Zhen with a smile: "Old Jiu, I heard that Li Ye changed his title to King Qi, and the emperor is going to give you the title of King Qi again. Is it true?"

Li Zhen snorted, "I don't care about King Qi, he will give it to whoever he likes!"

The prince-in-law Xue Luqian next to him said impatiently: "It's getting late, let's get down to business!"

There are more than 20 people in their denunciation group, but there are only six people in the decision-making circle. The leader is Wei Wang Li Zhen, followed by Xue Wang Li Can, then the Prince Consort Xue Luqian, another Prince Consort Yang Hui, and the third is Right Guard General Dou Ru Ping, and finally there was Prince Liu who led the government to join the army, Li Yu. The others contacted each other individually to avoid leaks from too many people.

Li Zhen nodded and said to everyone: "There are two important things today. The first thing is that Yang Hui met the Supreme Emperor and got the Emperor's decree and appointment certificate we wanted. He is on his way back to Chang'an. The second important thing is The thing is that I have contacted an important foreign aid with a strong army. He supports the restoration of the Supreme Emperor and is willing to send troops to help us."

"Lao Jiu, who is the foreign aid?"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "I can't say it yet. The other party asked me to keep it secret. I will tell everyone when I am completely sure!"

"Lao Jiu, this is not kind. We are all doing great things together. What else can we hide?"

Li Zhen said apologetically: "This is the other party's condition. If the other party finds out that I leaked it, I'm afraid the consequences will be serious. Please be considerate!"

Everyone was helpless, and Li Chen asked again: "The key is how many troops the other side can send to help us?"

"At least ten thousand troops!"

Everyone became excited. Although they had many military generals, none of them controlled the army. Like General Dou Rubing of Youwei, Youwei was just an empty yamen, and actually did not have any soldiers. Now he suddenly got an army of 10,000 people. Strong support gave them hope.

"Please keep it secret when you go back. We won't have gatherings for the past two months. Let's all stay down and wait until Yang Hui comes to Chang'an!"

It took Yang Hui at least a month and a half to travel from Chengdu to Chang'an.

Prince Liu led his government to join the army. Li Yu was Li Linfu's second son. When An Lushan's army came to kill him, Li Yu took his family and fled to Chengdu. He had a good relationship with Li Zhen. After being introduced by Li Zhen, he joined the army loyal to the Supreme Emperor Li Yu. Longi’s small group.

After returning to Chang'an, he became one of the six-person core team. In fact, Li Yu had no role. He wanted money but no money, power but no authority, and connections but no connections. Everyone kept him because he was Li Linfu's Son, he has a brother who is the Prime Minister, that is, Li Dai, and more importantly, his nephew Li Ye is awesome.

In fact, Li Zhen and others did not know much about the grievances between Li Linfu's many sons, so they vaguely believed that Li Yu could become a bridge between them and Li Ye.

Li Yu returned to his home. He also lived in the mansion left by his father. He and his wife and concubine lived in the east courtyard, which was quite spacious. Two sons worked in the family shop and one daughter was married. ,

Li Yu put down his horse bag and went directly to the backyard. His wife chased him out and shouted, "Master, you haven't eaten yet!"

"I have something to do, I'll eat when I get back!"

Li Yu hurried to the back house and found his brother Li Xiu who was having dinner.

Li Xiu was also a member of the condemnation group. He was dragged into it by his brother Li Yu. At first, he really thought it was to ask for the property robbed by An Lushan, so he actively participated.

Later, when he finally found out that the denunciation group turned out to be supporters of the Supreme Emperor, he became even more excited. Once the Supreme Emperor was restored to power, he would be able to support him.

In the organization chart of the denunciation group, Li Xiu belongs to the periphery, and some important secrets will not be known to him.

However, Li Yu did not comply with Li Zhen's confidentiality requirements and still told his brother some important secrets.

In the study, after Li Xiu listened to Li Yu's story, he blinked and asked, "Who is this general leading the army? Didn't Li Zhen tell you?"

Li Yu shook his head, "He wanted to keep it a secret and refused to tell us who he was. He just said that he would send 10,000 troops to assist us."

"This is a big fish!"

Li Xiu walked a few steps and asked again: "What other news?" "Also, Yang Hui met the Supreme Emperor in Chengdu and received the imperial edict, as well as our official titles. The specific situation will have to wait until Yang Hui comes back from Chengdu. It was only later that I realized, brother, please don’t talk about these things, because once the court finds out, we will lose our heads.”

"Hey! I'm not a three-year-old child. I won't tell anyone, not even your sister-in-law, let alone within the family."

The two brothers talked for a while, and then Li Yu returned to the east courtyard.

It was just dark when Li Xiu came to Cheng Yuanzhen's house. Li Yu still looked up to his brother. Li Xiu had no bottom line. When he found out that he could profit from this matter, he did not hesitate to denounce his brother Li Yu and The group was betrayed.

After Cheng Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes and listened to Li Xiu's story, he warned him: "You must not act in a hurry, otherwise they will be suspicious of you. You should also lurk. Once there is the latest news, you can tell me immediately."

Li Xiu nodded, hesitated and said, "I wonder if there is any news about my son?"

Cheng Yuanzhen said with a smile: "Don't worry! Once there is a suitable position, I will arrange it immediately."

Li Xiu didn't dare to stay long, so he got up and left.

Cheng Yuanzhen immediately got on the carriage and went to the palace to find Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo was on duty in the palace today. He invited Cheng Yuanzhen to sit down in his official room and said with a smile: "You must have something important to come to me so late. Tell me!"

"Aweng, the denunciation group gathered again this afternoon."

Of course, Li Fuguo knew that the so-called denunciation group was actually a group of supporters of the Supreme Emperor, headed by Li Zhen, who attempted to support the restoration of the Supreme Emperor through a coup.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Li Xiu tell you again?"

"Exactly!"

"What's the important news this time?"

"He said that a general will join them this time and will send 10,000 troops to support them. But who this general is, Li Zhen refused to say."

Li Fuguo's expression suddenly became serious. He had not taken these people to heart before because they did not have the support of the army. A coup without the support of the army would be a farce. But now it is different. There are actually generals who have joined the army. , the problem immediately became serious.

"Who is this general who is commanding the army? No clue at all?"

Cheng Yuanzhen shook his head, "He really doesn't know. Li Zhen is very tight-lipped."

"Then what? What other news?" Li Fuguo asked again.

Cheng Yuanzhen said: "The other thing is that Yang Hui met the Emperor in Chengdu and got the Emperor's decree and appointment letter. It is probably the imperial edict appointing Li Zhen as the temporary supervisor of the country."

Li Fuguo walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "It will be at least more than a month before Yang Hui comes back from Chengdu. Nothing will happen during this period. Li Xiu is asked to pay close attention and report any news immediately."

"Aweng, you have to give Li Xiu a little sweetness, otherwise he will not work hard."

"What does he want?"

"He wants to find a county magistrate for his son."

Li Fuguo frowned, "Isn't his son an official in Hexi?"

"The one in Hexi is the eldest son, and he has a second son named Li Chi."

Li Fuguo nodded, "There is a vacancy for the county captain in Yixian County. I will arrange for his son."

Cheng Yuanzhen asked again: "Aweng, do you want to tell the emperor about this?"

Li Fuguo was silent for a moment and said: "I won't tell him for the time being. I will make full use of this major case and bring some dazzling people into the net!"
