Chapter 491 Before the Night Banquet

"What, Li Junxian rebelled?" Lu Chenglie's expression suddenly changed. Who is Li Junxian? He is stationed at Xuanwu Gate. That place is the only way for the East Palace to enter and leave the harem. Lu Chenglie passes Xuanwu Gate to and from the East Palace almost every day.

and the palace. It is conceivable that if Li Junxian had any evil intentions against him, the first thing he would do is kill him at Xuanwu Gate, and then take advantage of the situation to capture the palace, just like Li Shimin did back then.

"Your Highness, today the Jin Yiwei people from the Wulian County Government came to report that Li Junxian's three sons killed all the Jin Yiwei hidden stakes in the mansion. If she hadn't been just a servant who cooked food, and if there were no major events on weekdays, she wouldn't have done anything.

She had hidden contacts with other Jin Yiwei, and she was also a low-key person, so no one noticed. Otherwise, she would have been killed too. Today she risked her life to sneak out and send the news out.

Your Highness, you'd better go to the military camp outside the city as soon as possible," Cen Wenwen said with a panicked look. You must know that Xuanwu Gate is very close. If you dispatch the Zuo Yiwei army or the army from outside the city at this time, it will attract the attention of others, not to mention

, even the Duke of Wulian County is close to rebelling, who will not rebel? They can only hide in the camp outside the city. Cui Yixuan and Liang Jianfang are both generals promoted by Lu Chenglie personally, and they are loyal to Lu Chenglie. These two people

Protecting Lu Chenglie is of course absolutely foolproof.

"No, if Gu leaves, Chang'an City will definitely suffer." Lu Chenglie thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if Li Junxian rebels at this time, I'm afraid you and I will have to face each other's army soon. Hum,

Although he has some prestige in the Zuojianmen army, don't forget that some of them are trained in martial arts. The lower-ranking soldiers are grateful for their father's kindness and will not follow him in rebellion, even if they will follow him.

Rebellion requires a certain amount of time to convince them, but it doesn't matter now. Mr. Cen, the hidden stakes of the Jin Yiwei he killed were just the first step in the rebellion. We still have time."

"However, we are not afraid of 10,000, but just in case." Cen Wenwen said with a look of panic on his face: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country. How can he be here? It is better to leave here as soon as possible." Cen Wenwen had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Nervous, Xuanwu Gate is nearby, and the guards in charge of the palace, if Li Junxian comes out at this time, even if General Zuo Yiwei outside the palace comes to rescue him, it will be too late. What's more important is that Zuo Yiwei's army keeps moving.

They are all elite soldiers, and their numbers are simply not comparable to the army of Zuojian guards. Cen Wenwen has to worry about this.

"Don't be anxious, don't worry." Lu Chenglie was calm and said to the chamberlain next to him: "Send Di Renjie to come."

"Di Renjie?" Cen Wenwen's expression changed when he heard this. He had already heard reports from Jin Yiwei about this Di Renjie. A man who almost became a walker in Xuande Hall would naturally attract Cen Wenwen's attention. But what surprised him more was not Di Renjie.

The wisdom of this person is that Di Renjie is well-founded in his advancement and retreat. He is not moved by short-term benefits and instead wants to be a county magistrate. Such young people are rare nowadays.

"Your Highness, Di Renjie, pays homage to the First Assistant." After a while, Di Renjie was seen walking slowly, wearing a dark green robe, which gave him a somewhat dignified appearance as an official.

"Huaiying, please tell me." Without thinking, Lu Chenglie told the news that Li Junxian was about to rebel, and finally said: "This is the information from the Jinyi Guards. Please tell me, when will this Li Junxian

We are going to rebel, when will we rebel, and how should we deal with it?" Lu Chenglie was obviously extremely anxious. Where was the calmness just now? Cen Wenwen's expression changed when he saw this, and he sighed softly in his heart. This prince also knew how to cultivate his own foundation.

However, whether it is himself, Changsun Wuji, or Wang Gui, they have lost their greatest use value to the prince. Because these people all follow the emperor, not just follow Lu Chenglie. And Di Renjie is like this

The young talents are the ones Lu Chenglie trusts.

When Di Renjie heard this, he glanced at Cen Wenwen secretly. Why didn't Cen Wenwen understand his thoughts? While secretly approving, he nodded and said, "Huaiying, please analyze it. I'll also come and listen."

"Yes." Di Renjie secretly sighed in his heart that the other man was indeed the wisest man in the world. He could see what he was thinking at a glance. More importantly, he was broad-minded and did not feel jealous of himself at all because of the prince's thoughts. Such

Talent is the real chief minister. He bowed his hands to Cen Wenwen respectfully. Then he stood up and said: "Your Highness, this Li Junxian will not rebel in the short term, at least not today.

On the contrary."

"How do you say this?" Even Cen Wenwen looked at Di Renjie in surprise. His views were the same as his own, but there were some differences. He couldn't wait to ask.

"Your Highness, if I guess correctly, it has been an hour since Your Highness got the news. One hour is enough for many things to happen. For example, the soldiers of Xuanwu Gate and the palace guards will rush towards the south study from everywhere.

Come and capture His Highness the Crown Prince. I don’t know what I said is right.” Di Renjie’s eyes showed confidence and he said: “Then Li Junxian is a famous general in the army. He is decisive in killing and I don’t know how many times he has been beaten.

After fighting, of course he understands the importance of time, and also understands that an hour can decide many things. If he wants to rebel, he will definitely attack quickly. How can His Highness be given an hour to prepare? He has killed all the Jinyiwei insiders here.

, then the other side will raise troops to attack the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, capture His Highness alive, or kill His Highness and capture several princes alive. But now an hour is about to pass, and there is still no movement in the direction of Xuanwu Gate. This shows that the other side

There will be no attack today."

"Then why did he kill Jin Yiwei's insider?" Cen Wenwen asked again.

"If I am not wrong in my guess, the person who killed Jin Yiwei must not be Li Junxian, but someone else." Di Renjie smiled confidently: "Maybe Li Junxian is hesitating, but once someone kills him for him,

Jinyiwei, then he will definitely rebel. If I guess correctly, this person must be Li Junxian's three sons."

"Huaiying, I didn't introduce you to His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible. It's my fault as the chief minister." Cen Wenwen's eyes lit up and he cupped his hands and said, "When I saw Huaiying today, I realized that I am really old. I will be pregnant in the future."

I feel relieved now that Ying is with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty, the First Assistant, is ridiculous." Di Renjie said quickly: "My Lord, I have followed Your Majesty for many years. He is loyal and serves the country. This is what makes students and others admire him. Not only is he extremely intelligent and resourceful, but most importantly, he has a big heart.

It is broad and makes the students admire it. Mr. Ge is a role model for the students."

"Okay, okay, you two should stop praising each other." Lu Chenglie's face returned to a relaxed look, he waved his hand, found a place to sit down, and said: "Huaiying, since Mr. Ge also agrees.

Your inference, then tell me, what should we do now? We can't send troops into the city now. This way, the other side will definitely find out. When the time comes, they will definitely raise their troops immediately. Under the attack of Zuo Yiwei's army,

Naturally, the palace guards will not have much resistance, but if this happens, there will inevitably be fighting in the palace, which will alarm the imperial concubines in the palace, as well as the lonely mother-in-law. This will harm the Tang Dynasty.

The state system is also not good. It would be best if we could capture Li Junxian alive without losing any blood. I don’t know what plan you two have. Haha, one is an old minister who follows his father, and the other is

As a rising star, I don't believe that the two of you don't have a good strategy to prevent the other party from launching an attack."

"Haha, one guest does not bother two hosts, Huaiying, please continue talking." Cen Wenwen and Di Renjie looked at each other, and Cen Wenwen said with a smile.

"Students accept the order." Di Renjie said quickly: "Your Highness, Your Highness can hold a banquet in the palace, summon all the adults, and require the generals in the army to attend in the future, so as to select the outstanding ones as the commanders of the Sixth Army of the East Palace. Hehe, since

Li Junxian is not ready yet, he will definitely come tonight, and it will be a matter of time for His Highness to establish the East Palace Sixth Rate, and no one will doubt it. Perhaps after His Majesty knows about this, he will also issue an order to allow His Highness to restore the East Palace.

Where’s the six rates?”

When Lu Chenglie heard this, he glanced at Cen Wenwen. Cen Wenwen nodded and said, "Huaiying's words are feasible. Then he ordered Zuo Yiwei's army to take the opportunity to enter the palace and replace the Zuojianmen army. Secondly, he ordered Cui Yixuan of Ba Shangxing camp to lead the army to garrison.

At various city gates in Chang'an, Liang Jianfang was ordered to go to the Lantian camp and prepare for contingency. With this..., it is enough to ensure the safety of Chang'an."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Lu Chenglie showed a look of determination on his face and said coldly: "These guys are really hateful. When my father was here, none of them dared to come forward. But when my father was away on an expedition, everyone took the risk.

Come out, do you think Gu is a soft persimmon, easy to pinch? Let these guys see today, Gu is the descendant of the father, with the blood of dragon and phoenix, some things are innate, and his ability to kill people is not much worse than that of his father."

Cen Wenwen and Di Renjie looked at each other, with a smile on their faces. Cen Wenwen cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness still needs to practice in order to inherit the throne. The more training you have, the greater the benefits will be to Your Highness in the future."

, Your Highness, I think that the appearance of these guys may not be a bad thing."

"Hmph, I would rather not have such a good thing." Lu Chenglie sighed deeply and said, "I really don't understand. Even Li Junxian rebelled. Isn't my father good enough to him?"

"Your Highness, people's hearts are weak and snakes swallow elephants. This has been the case since ancient times." Di Renjie comforted in a low voice: "Guanzhong has insufficient troops. His Royal Highness Prince Liang has left Guanzhong, and some interested people will naturally take advantage of it. What's more, Li Junxian

He is the Duke of Wulian County. If he follows His Majesty in the Eastern Expedition this time, he will definitely be promoted to another level after returning to the court. However, His Majesty will leave him in Guanzhong, which will inevitably make him feel a little uncomfortable. After being used by others, it is not impossible to start an army and cause chaos.

What's more, isn't there a lesson learned from the past?" Di Renjie said at the end, and looked at Lu Chenglie cautiously. The lesson he mentioned was that when Lu Zhaoci took control of Zuo Yiwei's army, he took advantage of the generals of the Li family to lead the troops outside.

At that time, he occupied the capital in one fell swoop and finally became the emperor. Obviously, this Li Junxian was also preparing to follow the path that Lu Zhaoci took back then.

"Just him?" Lu Chenglie sneered: "Li Tang's country was conquered by his father. When his father rode into Guanzhong alone, Li Yuan could easily enter Guanzhong. General Li Jing got help from his father to pacify it.

In the south of the Yangtze River, my father has a high prestige in the army. All the generals are sincerely loyal to my father. Therefore, my father can win the hearts of the army and win the world. Who is he? He is just a rebel general from Wagangzhai. Without his father, he can also

If he was made a county prince, he would probably have his head chopped off a long time ago. Such an ungrateful person dares to stay in this world. I will kill him tonight."

"Haha, Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go to the main hall in this mood." Hearing this, Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "People who have ghosts in their hearts will definitely doubt when they see His Highness's appearance. I think His Highness is still

Just relax."

"Yes, your highness, our army has not occupied the entire palace yet, so your highness should be careful." Di Renjie also said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll just follow you two." Lu Chenglie nodded and said: "After catching Li Junxian tonight, I want to ask him why he rebelled. Huh, it's so easy to get the position of emperor. That morning

The changes have been frequent, and I, the Tang Dynasty, have long been in the hands of others, how can it be his turn to be a traitorous general?"

"Your Highness Shengming." The two nodded.

"Huaiying, go outside the city and pass on the orphan's instructions. After Cui Yixuan enters the dark, he will immediately accept the defense of Chang'an City and allocate part of his troops to protect the East Palace." Lu Chenglie took out a jade pendant from his waist.

He handed it to Di Renjie and said: "You are unfamiliar with me. Even if there are people outside watching me, they won't care about you, a small official. After you go, you will stay in Bashang camp and act with Cui Yixuan."

"I'll do it now." Di Renjie nodded. He was the only one to go at this time. If any of Cen Wen and the others went to the military camp outside the city, it would arouse others' suspicion. Only a small official like himself would not

Arouse other people's ideas. And only he can cooperate with Lu Chenglie's plan at this time to capture various city gates and finally control Chang'an City. More importantly, at this time, I am afraid that Lu Chenglie does not believe anyone except Lu Chenglie.

He only believed in himself, the subject he had just conquered. If he didn't go, who could go? More importantly, he understood that this was also an opportunity given to him by Lu Chenglie to make meritorious deeds. So he took the jade pendant without hesitation and faced the two

The man bowed and then withdrew.

"Your Highness, your Highness can win over Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu and others." After Cen Wenwen waited for Di Renjie to leave, he said cautiously: "These people are after Qin Qiong and other generals, and their titles are

It was given by His Majesty. His wealth and splendor are closely related to the royal family. His Highness wants to form the East Palace team at this moment, and these people are the most suitable candidates."

"I know, thank you, sir." Lu Chenglie nodded. Originally, it was impossible to form the Sixth Army of the East Palace without Lu Zhaoci's permission, but regardless of whether it can be formed, we can put this frame together. These merits

After the aristocratic family, it is also an interest group. There are countless connections in the military. If you connect them well, you can further stabilize your position. By then, even if something happens, countless people will stand up for you.

..

"Well, in that case, I will go down and prepare for the banquet." Cen Wenwen nodded, cupped his hands towards Lu Chenglie, and then left.

In Zhongcui Palace, Lu Chenglie stood respectfully in front of Changsun Wugou. Beside her, the little princess was playing happily, and the face of Changsun Wugou shone with the brilliance of motherhood.

"You are not handling state affairs in the East Palace, why did you come to your mother's concubine?" Changsun Wugou flashed a soft light, then lowered his head and stroked his daughter's head.

"I heard that the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain is very good, and I would like to invite my mother and concubine to drive to Zhongnan Mountain." Lu Chenglie said with a smile, but there was no sign of any strangeness on his face.

"Going to Zhongnan Mountain? Going to Zhongnan Mountain at this time?" Changsun Wugao looked outside the palace, frowned, and withdrew his jade hand from the little princess's head, asking: "You really want your mother to go to Zhongnan Mountain at this time?

You can figure it out.”

"This mother-in-law, is it a good thing to go at this time? Zhongnan Mountain at night..."

"Okay, tell me, did something happen?" Changsun Wugou frowned. Before Lu Chenglie could finish his words, he interrupted him and snorted: "If nothing happened, how could you let your mother and concubine die?"

Nanshan, tell me, what is it that makes you so nervous?" The eldest grandson Wugao is extremely intelligent, and Lu Chenglie is her son, so she knows her son Mo Ruomu. When I saw Lu Chenglie looking like this, I immediately knew that he must have encountered something difficult, otherwise,

I won’t let myself go to Zhongnan Mountain to play in the afternoon.

"Concubine, this, this?" Lu Chengliejun blushed slightly and didn't know how to say it well.

"Is there anyone who rebelled?" Changsun Wugua's eyes were filled with power. He stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Chenglie and said.

"Yes, according to the news from the Jin Yiwei, Xuanwu Gate guard Li Junxian may have rebelled recently. His three sons have already killed the Jin Yiwei spies in the mansion." Lu Chenglie said quickly.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Changsun Wugou took a breath of air. Then she realized why Lu Chenglie wanted her to go to Zhongnan Mountain. It turned out to be for this reason, but she quickly calmed down and looked at Lu Chenglie and said.

"My ministers will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to entertain the nobles and nobles from all the armies. The winner of the contest will enter the East Palace to be the commander of the Sixth Army. By then, most of the army generals will come here, including him, Li Junxian." Lu Chenglie thought about it.

Want to say.
