Chapter 84 Sifang Yundong
Chapter 092

Li Heng hurried back to the East Palace, dressed neatly, bit his finger in the study alone and wrote a blood book, swearing to recognize Yang Yuhuan as his mother and never leave him for life.

Knowing the urgency of the matter, Li Heng didn't dare to waste any more time, and immediately rushed to Yang Yuhuan's bedroom with a few court ladies and eunuchs.Obviously, the news that Li Heng publicly left the East Palace to Yang Yuhuan's bedroom soon reached the emperor's desk.

With a sullen face, Li Longji glanced back at Gao Lishi, and said indifferently, "Old man, did Li Heng go to Yuhuan?"

"Yes, everyone." Gao Lishi replied respectfully, without saying a word.

Li Longji's mood today was particularly bad, so bad that Gao Lishi, an absolute confidant, had to deal with it carefully.

Li Longji sneered, "Is this to ask Yuhuan to come to me to intercede? This bastard just doesn't let me worry. I just felt that he has grown a little bit, so I just helped him a little bit, but it started Get carried away..."

"A good concubine in the Eastern Palace dares to take advantage of the imperial concubine's ceremonial guards. His crime should be punished." Li Longji waved his hands angrily and said, "If it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Dou's face, I would have abolished this shameless and ignorant person." woman."

Gao Lishi was silent.

Li Longji talked to himself, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is Zhang Xuan's whereabouts?"

"Back to everyone, not yet. Habayashi Wei and Jingzhao Mansion almost turned Chang'an upside down, and they didn't find any trace of Zhang Xuan. They don't know if they are dead or alive."

Gao Lishi tentatively said softly, "In the afternoon, Prime Minister Yang sent someone to send some melodies, do you want to read them?"

"This boy, did he really die young? I don't think he died prematurely... Hey, what a pity!" Li Longji sighed softly, then waved his hands angrily, "I won't watch it. I don't need to look at it." , I can also guess that these people must write a letter to ask me to abolish the East Palace and make Li Wan the new crown prince. Old man, tell me, who is here?"

"Gao Xianzhi, Pei Dunfu, Xue Dewang, Dong Zhihe; there are also 11 princes and children including Princess Xianyi, King Sheng..." Gao Lishi said lightly, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

For this sake, although Gao Lishi asked himself that he knew Li Longji's temperament very well, he still couldn't figure out the emperor's true thoughts at this moment—is Li Heng to be abolished or not to be abolished?It seems that the emperor has made a claim a long time ago, but he seems unable to make up his mind.

"These bastards have all grown up and know that they are united to threaten me. Old man, this is forcing the palace, threatening me!" Li Longji snorted coldly, "I want to see if they will What are you doing?"

Gao Lishi hesitated to speak.

But the emperor said again, "Old man, tell me, should I abolish Li Heng and Li Wan?"

Gao Lishi was stunned, and smiled softly, "This is His Majesty's family matter, and His Majesty should take it for granted no matter what, this old servant dare not ask."

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi, pointed at Gao Lishi and suddenly smiled, "You old bastard, you are cunning. Back then, Li Linfu also said like you - that's why I abolished Li Ying and established Li Heng." , looking at the current situation, do I still have to follow the old path?"

Gao Lishi's heart was agitated, thinking that Li Heng is over, the emperor has already moved to give up.

……

……

Li Heng didn't hide it, and entered Yang Yuhuan's bedroom under the guise of asking Yang Yuhuan for help.

Yang Yuhuan didn't want to see him at first, but because she was anxious about Zhang Xuan's whereabouts, she couldn't ask for it in person, so she wanted to find out about Zhang Xuan through Li Heng.

"Let the prince come in." Yang Yuhuan sat up with a solemn expression.

Li Heng entered the door in a hurry, bowed down on the ground with a sad expression, and said in a sad voice, "My son, Li Heng, please help me!"

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, just get up and talk." Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Heng, and said calmly, "Since the prince is straight to the point, then I will speak the truth. If your majesty really wants to depose you, it will be useless for me to plead. "

"I beg your mother to help me. Li Heng swears to the heavens that if Li Heng escapes, he will tell the world and worship his mother as his mother... This is a blood letter written by my minister, please read it."

Li Heng knew that Yang Yuhuan was soft-hearted, so instead of talking nonsense, he should get straight to the point and beg to tell her, maybe she can show some sympathy.

After receiving Li Heng's blood book, Yang Yuhuan was very moved after reading it.It's just that she hesitated and agreed to Li Heng to go to the emperor to intercede, but she also felt that there was almost no chance of winning the fight between Li Heng and Li Wan. If she helped Li Heng in this way, Li Wan would definitely be jealous.

You know, just now when Li Wan went to the palace to ask for an audience, she claimed to be sick and didn't see her.

Seeing Yang Yuhuan's expression of hesitation, Li Heng couldn't take care of much in his panic. He knelt forward and took a few steps, took out Zhang Xuan's letter and handed it up, "Madam, here is a letter from Zhang Xuan. .”

Yang Yuhuan's eyes lit up when she heard the words, her plump shoulders trembled instantly, and a trace of excitement flushed quietly on her indifferent face.

But she quickly regained her composure, took the letter as if nothing had happened, and opened it in front of Li Heng to read it. After pondering for a long time, she looked at Li Heng and said softly, "Heng'er... you should step back first, Rong Ben Gong think about it carefully. Don't worry, even if His Majesty wants to abolish your crown prince, I will definitely protect your wealth and life and your glory and wealth for the rest of your life."

……

……

Gao Lishi bowed to Li Longji as a salute, "Everyone, my mother sent someone to report that she was unwell, missed her relatives, and wanted to go out of the palace to stay at Mrs. Guo's residence for a few days."

"Oh?" Li Longji was crouching over his desk to review the memorandum, and he raised his head and smiled softly when he heard the words, "Old man, it seems that Li Heng talked about Yuhuan, and Yuhuan is going out of the palace to win Yang Guozhong's support for him. However, in my opinion, this bastard Yang Guozhong is the most able to follow the trend and play the rudder, and now that King Rong is full of energy, how can he abandon King Rong and help Li Heng?"

"Yang Guozhong is keeping silent at the moment, just waiting for my attitude. Anyway, I will give Li Heng another chance to see what kind of drama he can sing. According to my oral order, the imperial concubine is not feeling well, so let her come out. The palace went to Mrs. Guo's residence to recuperate, and sent several imperial doctors to accompany her."

"Yes." Gao Lishi quickly took the order, and ordered a young eunuch to go to Yang Yuhuan to announce the emperor's oral order.

"Is there any change on Li Wan's side?" Li Longji pushed away the memorabilia on the table, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of blank rice paper the four words of Dou Da: mainstay.

Gao Lishi replied respectfully from the side, "It is reported that the Palace of Rong Wang is holding a banquet, and the guests are nothing more than Gao Xianzhi, Pei Dunfu and others."

"Yang Guozhong didn't go? Hehe, this guy is getting older and more cunning..."

"Old man, what happened to those two beards of An Sishun in An Lushan?"

Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment, "It is said that Anlu Mountain recently had a big banquet for guests, and visited His Highness Yuzhen three times, and gave His Highness Yuzhen a pearl and more than a hundred orchids."

Li Longji sneered, dropped the brush, and clapped his hands, "The city of Chang'an is getting more and more lively, all kinds of ghosts and snakes are showing up to make trouble, I want to see, I'm still here, who dares to be presumptuous?! "

***********************************************
Prince Rong's mansion was brightly lit, and servants and maids came and went like weaving.

The living room was full of guests and friends, all of whom were unswerving followers and supporters of King Rong Li Wan. In addition to Gao Xianzhi, Pei Dunfu, Xue Dewang and other courtiers and generals, many members of the royal family also came.

Li Wan raised his glass with a smile and said loudly, "Everyone, Li Wan thanked you all for your great help. It is not a respect to prepare a little wine... So, I will do it first!"

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses together in response.

Sheng Wang Li Qi drank a toast, put down the glass and said loudly, "Sixth Brother, why don't you just keep doing it, let's write the letter again tomorrow, let's see what else Father has to say?"

Li Wan shook his head with a smile, "Brother Qi, it's not right. Our joint letter has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the father. If we make further progress, I'm afraid the father will blame the king."

"There is no need to rush this matter, take your time. This king has better character and talent than the crown prince. Thinking about it, father will think about it." Li Wan said calmly, his eyes projected a strong light of confidence.

He believes that Li Longji will make a wise choice, because their father has always been very "wise" - the reason why Li Longji did not abolish Li Heng before was because a strong emperor needs a puppet prince, but now that the emperor is getting old, he must The eternal inheritance of Datang Sheji will be considered.Li Wan believed that he would be more suitable to be emperor than Li Heng, and this point was also agreed by the emperor in private.

As a matter of fact, if Li Wan hadn't received the hint from the emperor, how could Li Wan have been planning in secret for many years calmly and launched it today.

"The crown prince is cowardly and incompetent. He only occupies the position of the heir of the Eastern Palace, and his morals are terrible. It is really difficult to be the master of the world." Gao Xianzhi, who has a beautiful appearance and three beards under his jaw, glanced at the Sheng Wang Li Qi with a smile, and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?" At present, His Highness should hurry to win Yang Guozhong's support, as long as Yang Xiang nods, even if His Majesty intends to protect the crown prince, he will eventually change His Highness as the heir apparent."

"That's why, when we are here, we must fight steadily and not rush into it easily—His Royal Highness, I will visit Anlu Mountain tomorrow to see what Hu'er's plan is. No matter what, we must force him to express his position!"

"That's it, thank you for being handsome." Li Wan bowed his hands in salute and thanked him.

Because of his outstanding military exploits, Gao Xianzhi is second to none among Tianbao's famous generals, and his prestige in the Western Regions is especially high.The two had known each other for many years, and Gao Xianzhi, who had high prestige in the army and commanded a large army, was Li Wan's greatest reliance outside.Therefore, Li Wan has always respected Gao Xianzhi very much.

Gao Xianzhi readily agreed, but a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

Although he has been friends with Li Wan for many years, he can be regarded as the mainstay of King Rong's faction.But he didn't want to take part in Li Wan's battle for succession so hastily.Persevering in the Battle of Talas, he was defeated by the Black Clothes Dashi on the western front, and the loss of troops will cause criticism from the ruling and opposition parties.

Before he entered Beijing, he heard that the emperor had intentionally dismissed him from his post as Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi, and entered Beijing as General Youjinwu.Sensing that the military power was in danger of being released, Gao Xianzhi thought over and over again and decided to take the risk and take a gamble with King Rong Li Wan.If King Rong rises up, his position will naturally only become more stable, and for the sake of consolidating his own faction, Li Wan will definitely encourage the emperor to continue to increase troops in the Western Regions and strengthen Gao Xianzhi's military power.
