Chapter 476 is on the verge of breaking out
Cheng Qianli was removed from the position of commander-in-chief of the Beiting Protectorate by the emperor and sent back to the capital to await disposal. Chen Xilie saw that Cheng Qianli was also a veteran of three dynasties, so he didn't make it too difficult for him. He just imprisoned him in the house and was not allowed to go out, let alone make friends with foreign ministers.
This is a dispensable sentiment. Otherwise, Chen Xilie could have taken advantage of the situation and imprisoned Cheng Qianli in the Ministry of Punishment Prison.
Although Cheng Qianli could not leave the house, the movements inside and outside the city and in the government and the public could not be hidden from his ears.
Li Tan came to see his son Cheng Huoer, and he knew it well.
And it was Li Tan who slowly opened the door to ambition deep in Cheng Qianli's heart.
People¡¯s ambitions are like this. If there is no suitable opportunity, suitable occasion, and suitable external environment, it may not even come to the fore in a lifetime. But once various conditions are mature, sprouting and growth are inevitable.
The news of the emperor's death was like rain from heaven to Cheng Qianli. If the emperor's teacher returns to the court, he will definitely be punished. Although he did not commit a capital crime, he failed in his duties in controlling Beiting, which led to Tu Qishi's invasion of Beiting. He also concealed the truth. It can be said that he lost his power and humiliated the country. It was a foreseeable result that he was dismissed from office and exiled for three thousand miles.
Even if the emperor is more ruthless, he can be killed and even bring disaster to the nine clans.
Cheng Huoer sent Li Tan away and hurriedly came to see his father.
"Father, Li Tan is gone." Cheng Huoer said in a low voice.
"What did he say?" Cheng Qianli raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"He said that if great things come true, and Li Tang restores the country, he will confer on his father the title of the head of hundreds of officials and the title of king of the county." Cheng Huo'er said, glanced at his father, and said, "Father, my son thinks that now is an opportunity. . The emperor passed away, and the whole court was in chaos. Now everyone in the court is ready to make a move. If Guo Ziyi and others return to the court, I am afraid no one in the court can suppress him"
"Father, the news from the army is absolutely true. My son believes that the reason why Guo Ziyi did not write about the imperial court and tried his best to conceal the news of the emperor's death is just to cover up the sky and control the entire imperial court. He is one of the six prime ministers and the The Minister of War, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, with great military achievements, if he returns to the court, who in the world can compete with him?"
"It's even possible to replace him and proclaim himself emperor!" Cheng Huo'er said anxiously, "Time waits for no one, please think twice, father!"
"Guo Ziyi is not this kind of person. He may become a powerful minister, but he will never arrogantly proclaim himself emperor. When the emperor dies and there is still a prince, Guo Ziyi must support the little prince in the palace to ascend the throne and then take power on his own. However, he is certainly powerful. It¡¯s extremely difficult to cover the sky with one hand. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not that easy. Can someone named Yang agree?¡±
Cheng Qianli sneered, "Rogues like Yang Guozhong are not easy to mess with."
Cheng Huoer rubbed his hands. In fact, he didn't care who came to power, Yang Guozhong or Guo Ziyi. What he cared about was how the Cheng family stood out from this sudden turmoil, turned danger into safety, and reached the pinnacle of power.
Cheng Qianli fell silent. He is a veteran in politics. Supporting Li Tan to restore the country is treason. Once he fails, his whole family will die without a burial place, so he cannot be careless. It's just that he is also on the edge of a cliff now. If he doesn't advance, he will retreat. Behind him is an abyss.
"Father, Li Tan is still waiting for his son's reply" Cheng Huo'er lowered his voice.
Cheng Qianli suddenly raised his head and said, "Don't worry yet. Li Tan is also a character. It will not be so easy for him to restore the country. It is not enough to just rely on us. My father guessed that he would definitely go to Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong I definitely won¡¯t go with him. Maybe Yang Guozhong won¡¯t even see him.¡±
"The Li family and his son hate Yang Guozhong to the core. How could Yang Guozhong come back to help the Li family and his son restore the country? When Li Tan is rejected by the Yang family, he will definitely come back."
"At that time, my father can come forward to help Li Tan win over the old friends of Li and Tang, choose the opportunity, control Zhongjing in one fell swoop, and change the dynasty. Most of the people in this court are old officials of Li and Tang, even Guo Ziyi is no exception. As long as Li Tang recovers, Guo Ziyi There is nothing we can do.¡±
"It's just that we have to move quickly. We must finish it before Guo Ziyi's army returns to the Central Plains. Otherwise, it will all be a fleeting moment" Cheng Qianli sighed with emotion, "Our move is to burn the boat. If we don't succeed, we will be successful. There can't be any mistakes. ah!"
"Father, please don't worry!" Cheng Huo'er got the answer from Cheng Qianli, turned around and left happily, and followed Cheng Qianli's instructions to stay at home and wait for Li Tan to come again.

Chen Mansion.
Chen Xilie paced back and forth in the main hall, fidgeting. The situation in Zhongjing City was about to break out, and a major chaos was imminent. As the first and assistant minister of the dynasty, one can imagine his anxiety.
Chen An, the eldest son of the imperial censor, stood aside and remained silent.
Chen Xilie suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Chen An, and said in a deep voice, "No news has come from Tong'er yet?"
Chen An shook his head. Chen Tong was in the Western Expedition army and by the emperor's side, so he should be able to grasp the specific situation. But Chen Tong has not sent any message back to his family so far, and there is no trace of the person sent by the Chen family to contact Chen Tong.
"What's going on with the Cheng family?" Chen Xilie asked again.
Chen An sighed softly, "Father, Li Tan recently made a secret visit to Li Tang's old home, and today he went to Cheng Qianli's house again. There is no doubt that the Li family has the intention of restoring the country."
Chen Xilie raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Idiots are just dreaming!"
"Li Tang's old past is spread all over the world, but it was suppressed by His Majesty Long Wei. Now something unexpected happened to His Majesty Li Tan ascended and shouted, I'm afraid" Chen An said worriedly, "Father, otherwise contact Guo Ziyi and ask Guo Ziyi to quickly Enter Beijing quickly? As long as Guo Ziyi leads his army back, the storm will be over!"
"Li and Tang are old and old" Chen Xilie sighed with emotion. With the new Chinese dynasty, there are naturally many old and new Li and Tang Dynasties. This is not only a problem of the royal family, but also many scholars and subjects who have illusions about the Li and Tang court. They had no thoughts about the emperor, but the death of this wise and mighty emperor made these people's thoughts come alive.
It is not impossible to support Li Tang's restoration despite taking desperate measures.
"It can't be that easy. Li Tang Gujiu is just a mob, without soldiers and power, it is difficult to achieve great things. By the way, where is Yan Zhenqing at the moment?" Chen Xilie gritted his teeth.
"Replying to my father, Yan Zhenqing mobilized soldiers and horses from the capital in the name of training troops to protect the capital. At the same time, he sent troops to strengthen the defense in the direction of Tongguan, probably to guard against Zhang Tong of Fan Yang."
Chen Xilie was silent.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Among the many ministers of your Majesty, Yan Zhenqing is probably the most loyal. In the important place of the capital, Yan Zhenqing controls the civil and military power, with a hundred thousand troops under his command. If Yan Zhenqing does not move, the capital will not be in chaos and the foundation will not be hurt." ! Moreover, I am worried"
Chen Xilie's eyes shone with a strange light, "His Majesty suddenly passed away and died in battle. This is weird no matter how you look at it. If there is a lie, Guo Ziyi's failure to refute the rumor immediately will be a capital crime; but if there is no lie, Wouldn¡¯t it be outrageous to have the emperor collapse in battle during a great victory?¡±
"What does father mean" Chen An asked hesitantly.
Chen Xilie shook his head, "A storm is about to arise. I have ordered everyone in the Chen family to stay behind closed doors. No one is allowed to cause trouble outside. My father is recuperating in the house. If there is any movement in the court, An'er, you must remember that my Chen family is deeply involved." You must not have any disobedience after receiving the great favor from the Emperor! Even though His Majesty is not here, the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Prince are still here! Remember your father¡¯s words.¡±
Chen An nodded, "My son has taken note of it."
"Half of the people in this court are unreliable. They may follow Li Tan and Cheng Qianli to cause trouble, or they may follow Yang Guozhong to cause trouble, but there is only one thing. As long as Yan Zhenqing does not move, they are all fooling around."
"Besides, Fan Yang's Zhang Tong I am not sure whether this person is reliable or not." Chen Xilie's eyes flashed and he waved suddenly, "Go to Yan Zhenqing's place and tell Yan Zhenqing that if Zhang Tong is If there is something wrong with him, someone should deal with him and let him concentrate on stabilizing the capital."
¡¡
¡¡
"Compared with the chaotic situation outside the palace, the situation inside the palace is extremely calm.
After giving birth, Su Hudong and Li Tengkong, as well as the emperor's concubine Zhuoma in Tubo, have just returned to the palace. Now, among the women around the emperor, except Hua Nuer and Wanchun, all have given birth to the emperor. child. Of course, there were several concubines in the palace that the emperor had not favored, such as Pugu Huaien's daughter, General Zhang Tong's daughter, etc.
Queen Mother Liu has been grinning from ear to ear recently with great satisfaction. She is extremely happy that so many daughter-in-laws have given birth to children one after another. Although the news of the emperor's death had already spread throughout the capital, it was kept secret from the empress dowager.
The child of Empress Cui Ying and Third Sister Yang is already two or three years old. She has already started talking and running around everywhere, and has become a pistachio child doubly loved by everyone in the palace.
Of course, facing the commotion outside the palace, the palace was not unprepared at all. In order to be on the safe side, Yan Zhenqing secretly replaced all the palace guards and replaced them with his absolute confidants, and then the emperor's sworn brother Xiao ShisanlangServe as the general of the imperial guard and control the security of the palace.
And all the girls gathered in Queen Cui Ying's palace to live. Outside the palace, the security was tight. Xiao Shisanlang was on duty day and night, not daring to show any neglect. This palace is inhabited by the relatives of his brother, His Majesty the Emperor, so nothing can go wrong.
Queen Cui Ying's face looked a little gloomy. Although she didn't believe that something had really happened to her emperor husband, it was true that her whereabouts were unknown and no news had come back, and it was even more true that those people outside the palace who were ready to make trouble were trying to cause trouble.
Wan Chun¡¯s face was even more ugly. How could someone as smart as her not guess what Li Tan and his son wanted and were doing under this situation.
A guard hurriedly came to report and said respectfully, "Empress, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Xiaohou has come to report that Yang Guozhong, the Minister of Rites, and Yang Qi, the Minister of Industry, have come to the palace to ask for an audience."
For the sake of safety, Xiao Shisanlang replaced most of the eunuchs in the palace and replaced them with his own trusted imperial guards.
