The group of people entered Taiyuan City. When the Taiyuan city gate guards saw that Li Bowen had returned, they were all surprised. Li Bowen looked like he was extremely tired. I wonder what happened to make the pampered young prince become like this. Li Bowen took Du Daqia and others into the city, and went directly to Prince Cheng's Mansion. On the way, he also sent a royal guard to inform Prince Jingde. The guard did not need to say anything else to Prince Jingde. , it is enough to tell Prince Jingde that Li Bowen is back, and Prince Jingde will definitely come to Prince Cheng¡¯s Mansion to discuss matters. After entering Prince Cheng's palace, Li Bowen asked Du Dachin to wait in the side hall. He went to see his grandfather Prince Cheng first. There were some things he couldn't say in front of Du Dachin. Du Dachin was now the representative of Prince Li Chongjiu. , and he was originally going to seek refuge with King Yang Ze of Yan. In fact, Prince Cheng knew the news before Li Bowen entered the palace. Other palace guards informed him. Prince Cheng was shocked. Why did his eldest grandson come back so soon? In terms of the schedule, it was impossible anyway. How could he come back so quickly unless something went wrong? Something must have happened! Prince Cheng felt dizzy. Is his branch of the royal family about to decline like other branches? I'm not afraid of being destroyed, at least my life is still there, but I'm afraid of being completely destroyed! No matter what, Prince Cheng is still sophisticated. He was just shocked. Even after he regained his composure, it was a blessing, not a curse. Disasters cannot be avoided. Soldiers can stop them, water can cover them. Even in the era of Queen Dugu, it was so dangerous that he survived it. , he did not believe that he would not be able to survive the crisis in the new dynasty. Prince Cheng went directly to the study and told the housekeeper in the palace to bring Li Bowen to see him as soon as he came back. The housekeeper naturally did not dare to neglect and waited at the door early. The housekeeper was very reliable in his work. When he saw that Li Bowen had brought back a stranger, he didn't ask anything. He just asked the servants to entertain Du Dachin and the others, while he took Li Bowen to see Prince Cheng. On the way to the study, the housekeeper asked: "Little prince, why are you in such a mess, but things haven't been settled, and the person who came back with you doesn't look like a person from King Yan. King Yan will not let you go so quickly." "He's back." The steward's guess was very accurate, and Li Bowen didn't intend to hide it. He said, "It's from His Royal Highness, a general. His Highness has recruited a group of soldiers, and this man is the leader." The steward was shocked. He is an old man in the palace and loyal to Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng did not hide anything from him. When he heard what Li Bowen said, he was surprised: "Little prince, how come you have contact with His Highness the Crown Prince's people. Is it possible that the plan has changed? Oh, don't waste time, hurry up Go see the prince!" The housekeeper walked faster as he became anxious. But after walking a long way, he saw that Li Bowen was still walking slowly. He took a look at Li Bowen's walking posture. Then I realized that I had injured my thigh while riding a horse! He didn¡¯t want to wait for Li Bowen to walk away slowly, and he had no intention of helping Li Bowen. Instead, he said: "Little prince, please go quickly!" With that, the housekeeper started running and ran to the study. As soon as he arrived at the study, he went straight in without knocking and said to Prince Cheng: "Your Majesty, something big has happened. The person the young prince brought back is from His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard he is a general of the new army!" There is no need to say too much. If so, the amount of information in just this sentence is enough. After hearing this, Prince Cheng jumped up from the chair in shock. He was old. Leng Ding was frightened and felt dizzy. He swayed and sat back in the chair! The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, nothing can happen to you. If something happens to you, our palace will be doomed!" "What's the end, don't say such unlucky words!" Prince Cheng He scolded the housekeeper and calmed down. Thoughts were racing in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out when his eldest grandson had such an idea and dared to change the original plan without permission. This was not the normal way for his eldest grandson to behave. ah! Just when they were talking, Li Bowen came to the door of the study. He said: "Grandpa, my grandson is back. There is something big to report to my grandfather." "Come in, you go to Chang'an, what happened, hurry up Come in and explain it clearly." Prince Cheng finally became anxious again after finally calming down. Li Bowen entered the study, glanced at the butler first, then knelt down to Prince Cheng, and said: "Grandpa, the plan has changed. My grandson can no longer go to King Yan. He can only switch to His Highness the Crown Prince. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince appreciates it very much." Grandson, he also sent his confidant to follow him back to Taiyuan. The man is waiting in the side hall and can invite him in at any time. "The housekeeper sighed slightly, let go of Prince Cheng's hand, he left the study and opened the door. Take it with you and guard it outside the door, not allowing anyone to approach the study. Prince ChengHe waved his hands and said: "Get up, sit down and talk. If you encounter something that can be solved by just kneeling down, then just keep kneeling. But you are not young anymore. You should know how to just kneel down." It won't solve the problem." Li Bowen stood up slowly and said, "My grandson knows that kneeling is useless, and kowtowing is useless, so he didn't dare to act as planned!" He sat on the chair! He came down and told what happened. Of course, although it was generally correct, the details had been modified a lot. It sounded like he had no choice, so he turned to Prince Li Chongjiu. When Li Bowen was speaking, Prince Cheng remained silent until Li Bowen finished speaking. He thought for a while and then asked: "Are you sure that person is Wang Peilun, the Minister of Justice? How can you prove that he is Wang Peilun?" Is it someone else who is pretending to be someone else? Is this possible? Did he produce any evidence to prove that he is the Minister of Justice? " Li Bowen was stunned immediately. He did not expect this, and in the past two days, I have never thought about this issue during my time. He murmured: "Well, it seems that he didn't produce the voucher from the beginning to the end. Instead, he looked at his grandson's voucher. But he has so many subordinates, this should be correct, and the boss named Liu Zhiyu Bo" Having said this, his face turned pale, and he remembered that the Lord Liu who framed him did not wear the official uniform of Lord Bo, but the uniform of a minor official, and that the Ministry of Punishment Although the minister is wearing an official uniform, since he can mobilize so many strong men, he wears a fake official uniform. What¡¯s so difficult again! Seeing the eldest grandson's expression, Prince Cheng sighed, but said nothing more. He said: "Maybe my grandfather is too careful, but you have to pay attention to this kind of thing in the future. Then tell me, you met the prince After His Highness, who else did you meet? Did you meet Wu Youren? " Li Bowen was no longer confident this time. He nodded and said, "Yes, my grandson met Wu Youren. He was the one who asked his grandson to bring that General Du back. , I want to see my grandfather." He then told the mission that Wu Youren had given him. In fact, he had just said it, but just now he wanted to show off his ability and brag about his ability to get such attention from His Highness the Crown Prince, but he didn't. After being asked by Prince Cheng, he lost his confidence and Guanzi did not dare to sell it. After Prince Cheng heard this. After being silent for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Close the city gate tightly and do not allow King Yan's army to enter the city. This is not difficult to do. You only need to use the reason to prevent the army from gathering the people, and just say hello to those who stay behind. Anyway, the next one will be the Crown Prince. This is not difficult, but we cannot allow King Yan to come to the city. If King Yan says that he wants to come to the city for a look, then we are openly betraying him. "Li Bowen whispered: "If that person is really the Minister of Justice, then he humiliates his grandson in this way, isn't it a shame?" Prince Cheng shook his head and said: "Grandson, it's not your grandfather who told you, you just need to think about it carefully. Think about it, if that person is really Wang Peilun, then he is not a humiliation to you, but King Yan feels humiliated." Li Bowen said curiously: "How is this possible? How dare we? "Insult him?" "Wang Peilun keeps calling you a commoner. He actually wants to tell me that if I want to take refuge with him, I have to go to him personally and send a grandson. He will not accept it. He is the King of Yan, one of the two major forces in the court, and the dominant force. How can he receive you and send you? Of course he will think it is humiliating. Alas, it is a pity that I will not send you here. There is no one left to send, not even your father or uncle!" Li Bowen's face was red, but he was indeed without an official or title. It was normal for Yang Ze to look down on him, unless his grandfather died now. Only when he inherits the throne and becomes Prince Cheng will Yang Ze look at him seriously. At this moment, the housekeeper said outside: "Your Majesty, Old Prince Jingde is here. He entered the house through the back door. Where do you want to meet him, Your Majesty?" Prince Cheng stood up and said, "Please come here, my old brother." Come here!" With that, he went out to greet him personally, followed by Li Bowen. After a while, Prince Jingde arrived in the study. He saw Li Bowen. Although he had been surprised in his own palace, there was still an unbelievable look on his face. As soon as he entered the study, Prince Jingde asked He said: "Bowen, has something big happened?" Prince Cheng sighed, he told the matter, and finally said: "The dilemma now is, if King Yan arrives, should he be allowed to enter the city? Old man Brother, do you have a plan for this matter?" Prince Jingde was silent for a long time and said, "At this point, our two families have no way out, so don't blame the children at this time. As for King Yan, let's break up. Let's tear it apart. If we want to support the prince, then we will support him to the end. This is worse than a rat at both ends.Much stronger! Prince Cheng sighed and said, "That's all we have to do!" " In the side hall, Du Dachin waited anxiously, thinking: "Why haven't you seen me yet? What are they discussing? "He was impatient to wait and didn't want to sit down anymore, so he stood up and walked around in the hall. He walked around for a long time until he felt dizzy. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps outside and Li Bowen was back. " Du Daqin is impatient, so he rushed forward After leaving the side hall, he said: "Little prince, why did it take so long to come back? Do you want to see me, old prince?" Li Bowen said: "See you, of course, my grandfather is waiting to see General Du in the study. General Du, please come with me." " Du followed Li Bowen with a big chin, and asked: "What does the old prince mean? " "Of course my grandfather is on the side of His Royal Highness. He will fight against the traitors and will never tolerate the evildoers in the court. "Li Bowen answered very simply. Du chin trembled and finally felt relieved. He said: "Then the young general can also feel relieved. " Prince Taiyuan's attitude is a crucial link in Yang Ze's ability to kill Li Chongjiu. It is also the most crucial link in clearing away the last forces of the Li family. As long as this link is completed, everything will be settled in the future. It¡¯s easy to handle. The first step was about intelligence, and after this step was about strength. Although Yang Ze wouldn¡¯t tell his subordinates this, who among them wouldn¡¯t guess that after entering the study room, Du Da! Chin met Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde. This time, the two old princes no longer hid and tucked in. Since they had made a decision, they would resolutely implement it. Naturally, they said they would be loyal to the prince Li Chongjiu. After hearing this, Du Dachin raised his hands to the two old princes and said: "The two princes are so righteous and devoted themselves to the sake of the Li family even to the death. The young general admires them!" "Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde both expressed their expressions when they heard this. Why are these words so awkward? If you don't know how to speak idioms, then don't say them, so as not to make people feel disgusted. Although this guy is the prince's confidant, you can see that He looked like a show-off scoundrel. He must have slapped others in the past. Du said with a big chin: "Since the two princes are righteous, the young general must also be righteous. If he offends others, let the young general do it." Let's do it. When King Yan leads the army, the young general will block the city gate and prevent King Yan from entering the city. If King Yan dares to force his way in, the young general will shoot him with an arrow. All the blame will be attributed to the young general, and he will be with the two princes. Nothing to do. " After hearing this, Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde cursed in their hearts at the same time. What a low meaning and random use of words. If you really dare to shoot Yang Ze, King of Yan, with an arrow, then you are not calling it righteousness, you are calling it harming others. When King Yan is angry, he will definitely attack the city. It doesn't matter if you die, but we are still living in the city! Prince Cheng said hurriedly: "General Du, you can't" "My lord, just call General Du Dachin." Yes, so kind. " "Uh, okay, General Du Dachin, you must not shoot the King of Yan with arrows. This will cause trouble to His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness the Crown Prince can arrive in Taiyuan in advance, His Highness the Crown Prince will be in charge, and everything will be listened to by the Crown Prince. Your Highness, that is all well and good, but if His Highness the Crown Prince fails to arrive in time, then we must not try to intimidate King Yan, but we must persuade him with kind words, but we must not use violence! " Du chuckled with his big chin and said, "That's okay. We are rough people and don't have any ideas. We listen to the two princes on everything. The young general sent someone back to report the matter to His Highness the Crown Prince. It was estimated that he would meet His Highness the Crown Prince on the way. " After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the study, asking his heroes to notify Li Chongjiu. Of course, he also had to send someone to notify Yang Ze. After he left, Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde looked at each other, Prince Cheng said: "Old brother, I have an ominous premonition that we are about to be in disaster. " Prince Jingde said: "Brother, you are too worried. Although King Yan is powerful in Chang'an, this is Taiyuan. We only need to use the strength we have secretly accumulated in the army over the years and recruit our own children. Then the military strength is definitely better than that of King Yan, and it is still unclear who will win. We have been cowardly for many years, and it is time to fight, not for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren! "Prince Cheng sighed and said: "That's all it can do.
