The two old princes had made a good calculation in advance. According to the method that their two families had used to save their lives for many years, no one could be offended. No matter whose team they were on, they would not take sides. As long as they could keep the throne left by their ancestors, then That's enough. Even if they are scolded as a coward and a loser of the Li family royal family, they don't care. ¡û???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? all all all the people in the Li family¡¯s royal family who are not idlers are dead. Even Li Yan, who is now the emperor, was also a famous useless emperor back then. He was a waste who was sent to the frontier. In terms of how to live, they The two princes lived a much more prosperous life than Li Yan. But it¡¯s different now. The two families have been misunderstood. This is tantamount to offending the prince. There is no good fruit to eat. They are afraid of King Yan Yang Ze. They are afraid that Yang Ze is not a vegetarian. Who dares to offend King Yan? The king will kill anyone, this idea is correct. But the prince Li Chongjiu is not a vegetarian. Anyone who offends the prince may not live a happy life again, and may die a glorious death soon. The Prince of Jingde County stamped his feet and said: "What can we do? We need to chase the person back quickly and explain the matter clearly. This needs to be explained, otherwise we will be in big trouble! Also, where is the missing messenger? We also need to find out whether he was killed or buried, could it be King Yan" At this point, he stopped talking as if on reflex, looked around, and remembered that he This was at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Then he said again: "Could it be that King Yan sent people to do this just to cause us to misunderstand the prince, and then borrow the prince's hand to get rid of us?" "Prince Cheng looked extremely ugly. After thinking for a long time, he said: "It's not impossible, but I guess he didn't want to get rid of us through the hands of the prince." "Yes. What are we doing? We are not angry enough!" The person who said this was a dandy middle-aged prince. Of course, he meant that in fact he didn't care at all whether he was angry or not. He only cared about whether he could live comfortably and nourished. . Prince Cheng said: "No matter what, the prince and we are both members of the Li clan. Even if we don't help the prince, we won't oppose him. I don't think King Yan doesn't know this, so he just I want to use this matter to cause the prince to be dissatisfied with us." Prince Jingde said. Said: "I understand. In fact, King Yan wants to get rid of us personally, because we will definitely not help him. It is impossible for us to help outsiders. No matter what King Yan says, he is just a prince-in-law, and If your surname is not Li, you are still an outsider!" Prince Cheng nodded slowly, based on his analysis. It feels like this is what happened! The prince was a little anxious, because everything was said so clearly. If he didn't understand it anymore, he would be a pig. The prince said: "It turns out that King Yan sent people to do this. He killed and buried one of the messengers, and then let another messenger misunderstand us. Then the prince refused to pay attention to us. It is impossible for the emperor to We take it seriously, so he can kill us all because he knows that we will never help him, so he wants to get rid of us as soon as possible. Is this called attacking first?" Prince Jingde? He glanced at his son and said: "You have indeed become more alert recently. Is it because you drank less wine?" The prince said with a sad face: "I drank less wine, and my body and bones can't bear it. But let's forget it. If you don¡¯t help King Yan, you don¡¯t dare to oppose him. Why would he do such a cruel thing?¡± Prince Cheng frowned and said, ¡°Because His Royal Highness is coming to Taiyuan, and he has to stay in Taiyuan. Because we are also in Taiyuan, King Yan is afraid that we will become the help of His Highness, so of course he has to take action first. " He looked at Prince Jingde, meaning what do you think we should do about this? But Prince Jingde has no idea. He always follows Prince Cheng. Whatever Prince Cheng does, he will follow him. If Prince Cheng is a coward, then he will follow him. If Prince Cheng is a coward one day, he will be a coward. Cramps, suddenly hardened, and his waist will straighten up. He is Prince Cheng's absolute younger brother. The Prince of Jingde County said: "This still needs to be determined. If it is not the secret instigation of King Yan, then then we can continue to pretend to be deaf and mute and not help each other. If there is any danger in the future, it will not matter. It's not on our heads." Prince Cheng is not willing to change his current life. It would be best if he could continue to live peacefully. After thinking for a moment, he said: "How about this? Let's send two groups, one group to chase the messenger who returned to Chang'an, and then send another group to find the missing messenger. We have to make things clear. Let's Only then can we make a decision, but let¡¯s plan for the worst first!¡± Prince Jingde had no choice but to nod. He really couldn¡¯t think of a good idea. He looked at his son and said, ¡°You are the one chasing people.¡±To be successful, we can only send people with good riding skills. However, you should have no problem finding people. You just need to find people around Taiyuan. You are still familiar with the local people. Prince Cheng sighed and said: "Let my blog help find someone, after all, he has seen the messenger!" " In the past, he and Prince Jingde did not allow their children and grandchildren to have skills, but now that they are facing a disaster, they feel that if their children and grandchildren are incompetent, they will not even have any helpers. He even thought about whether to recruit all his sons back to deal with it. There may be a big event coming. The prince of Jingde County said: "Then let my family's Bozhi also find someone. One more person means one more helper. "The two old princes nodded together and sighed together. This is all they can do. I hope their worries are unnecessary! Outside Chang'an City. Yang Ze quickly settled all the matters for sending troops. This time There are not many troops sent, only 30,000 people. It is enough to send out two imperial guards. It is not too troublesome. However, this is the first time the new dynasty uses troops externally, so it must be done to save face and let Chang'an's The common people could feel the power of the Celestial Army and gain face for Emperor Li Yan. On this day, Yang Ze had taken care of all the matters regarding the expedition, so he came to Wang Peilun and asked, "How is the situation in Taiyuan? What kind of news did the spies sent out get? " Wang Pilun was originally assigned by him to be responsible for the investigation work in the Gyeonggi area. He would accuse anyone he didn't like of being a rebel and remove him from office, and then arrange for Yang Ze's confidants to work like this. After a period of "investigation" ". It's basically over, so Wang Peilun was assigned by Yang Ze to collect intelligence on Taiyuan. Wang Peilun said: "If I go back to Taiwei, my subordinates have already sent people to Taiyuan, but they haven't heard anything. What news? The two palaces in Taiyuan are so inaccessible that our people really can't get any valuable news from them. " Yang Ze smiled and said: "As expected, they are really two old foxes. Judging from the fact that their palace does not leak the news, they cannot really be cowards. I guess that the two of them must not help each other, but it is useless. I still want to send them to the Paradise. " Wang Peilun nodded and said: "But the entire royal family in Taiyuan is watching them. If they really have any ideas, it is estimated that many soldiers and generals in the Taiyuan army will listen to them. Yang Zedao: "That's natural. Otherwise, why should I make things difficult for these two old princes? Do I really think that I am very free?" Send someone to investigate again. We will be going on an expedition soon. We must find out the situation in Taiyuan as soon as possible. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be victorious in every battle! Wang Peilun agreed and said: "I will do it now. I will definitely not delay the Taiwei's affairs." "With that said, he left the tent. But before he had half a cup of tea, Wang Beilun came back again. He lifted the tent curtain and said, "Captain, there is news from Taiyuan! Yang Ze let out a loud noise and said, "It's so fast. You just walked out and came in again. What's the news?" "Wang Peilun said with a smile: "It's the news that someone just sent back, saying that Prince Cheng's Mansion in Taiyuan and Prince Jingde's Mansion were investigating a Chang'an man together, which caused a lot of chaos around Taiyuan. It turned out that he was in a small village. I found the Chang'an man, and after I found him, I respectfully carried the messenger back to Prince Jingde's Mansion, which was treated as a joke by the people of Taiyuan. " He paused and then said: "However, we can't find out who sent the messenger, when he arrived, and what news he sent. There is no way, our people can't break into these two palaces. Go inside. " Yang Ze leaned back on his chair and said with a smile: "You don't need to check these things. You can guess them just by guessing. They must be the people sent by Wu Youren. They probably want to contact the two old princes in Taiyuan and wait for Li Chongjiu. After arriving in Taiyuan, they could unite to deal with the king, but it was not easy to guess what happened to the messenger and where he was in the village. I couldn't figure out why. ¡± In this era, the methods of spying on intelligence are too primitive, and transportation is inconvenient. The information obtained is often from a few days ago, and it is impossible to obtain very accurate information, so a lot of information is based on guesswork. And he often guesses wrong. Wang Peilun asked tentatively: "Lieutenant, what should I do with my subordinates?" Our spies have already put both palaces under surveillance. Now as soon as the messenger leaves Taiyuan, we can follow him immediately. Are we going to kill the messenger on the way back to Chang'an, and then see what he brings? What letter? " Yang Ze shook his head. He felt that there was no need to let the prince Li Chongjiu and the two princes of Taiyuan quarrel. This situation was the best. If he got involved, he might scare them, which would be bad. " He Said: "Don't alert the snake, just keep an eye on it."That's good. On the contrary, if the messenger encounters any danger on the way back to Chang'an, then we have to help Wan Zhong so that he can see Wu Youren as soon as possible! "Wang Peilun smiled and said: "Wu Yuanwailang is really helpful sometimes and solves a lot of problems for us. Li Chongjiu's Golden Crow Army can be established so quickly. We must thank him for his help. Yang Ze laughed loudly and shook his head slightly. He did not expect that Wu Youren could be so helpful. Sometimes he even had the illusion that Wu Youren was the biggest one he had placed next to Li Chongjiu! Taiyuan, Jingde The Prince's Palace. Outside the best guest room in the palace, Li Bowen and Li Bozhi kept walking around with their hands behind their backs. In the guest room, the injured knight lived. In fact, the knight was found. No matter what the problem is, both Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde are local gangsters in Taiyuan. Although they appear to be cowards on the surface, they are actually very powerful secretly. All the nobles and nobles in Taiyuan listen to them. Isn't it easy to find someone? The prince of Jingde County took people out to search, and found the injured knight in a small village that night. After it was confirmed that he was the messenger from Chang'an, the prince immediately asked someone to carry him. The knight returned to Taiyuan and entered the city at dawn. After the knight was arranged into the Jingde County Prince's Mansion, he was served like an uncle. The Jingde County Prince actually asked the two princes and grandchildren. They stood guard outside the door together, like servants. As long as the knight had something to do, they would immediately go in and take care of things. Fortunately, the knight had nothing to do and didn't bother the two princes and grandsons. When they were tired, they stayed in the yard. Standing next to a tree inside and talking, Li Bowen said: "The messenger who escaped was not chased back, right? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible to catch him back. I¡¯ve wasted half a day and tried to catch him. How could I possibly catch him? Li Bozhi said: "Then you still have to chase. You have to make a gesture." However, in my opinion, my grandfathers will have to side with the prince this time. Otherwise, the prince will have to repair our family, and a group of relatives here in Taiyuan will all be unlucky. The first unlucky person is You, who caused you to cause this trouble? " Li Bowen shook his head and said: "You are looking at things too superficially. I heard that is not the case. This matter is basically a trap set up by King Yan, in order to make the prince hate our family, but the prince will not do anything to us, but it is King Yan who does it, because King Yan knows that we will definitely not help him , King Yan has a very bad temper. If anyone dares not to surrender to him, he will do everything possible to get revenge. " "But if we don't help King Yan, we won't help the prince. We haven't offended King Yan, so why should he take revenge? "Li Bowen sighed and said: "Let's not even think about having a stable life in the future. "Immediately, he felt happy again and said: "But, this is also an opportunity for us. As long as we seize this opportunity, maybe we can do something, and we don't have to hang around like this anymore. " Li Bozhi also had this idea. He looked around and said, "Tell me what you want. You are the elder brother and I will listen to you. " Li Bowen said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to Taiyuan. I heard that he will stay in Taiyuan to transport food and grass for King Yan to go on an expedition. Think about it, if we can be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't the future be bright? " Li Bozhi agreed and nodded: "Brother is right, but you and I are both princes and grandsons. The future must be bright in the future. It is also appropriate to be loyal to the prince, but you don't have to risk following him. Following him is just a matter of course. After confronting King Yan, things in the court are changing rapidly, but who may have the last laugh! " "As kings and grandsons, it is true that we have a future, but it is not necessarily bright. Li Bowen sighed and said, "I just don't want to live idle like my grandfather and father." " These words sounded very much like those of an aspiring young man. Li Bozhi's blood boiled when he heard them. He made a fist with one hand, stretched out his palm with the other, and slapped his palm with his fist, saying: "Then what do you want? Is there a charter? "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
