Chapter 74: Fooling Wu Yuanqing
Li Tai's invitation couldn't help but make Wu Shi Tong feel embarrassed. If Li Tai is rejected, he is afraid that Li Tai will have a grudge against him in his heart. If you follow Li Tainanshan to hunt, I am afraid that I will delay the business because of this.
Wu Shi Tong didn't come to Chang'an City to see Li Shimin for no reason. Instead, they got accurate information that someone was preparing to use the forbidden army to rebel. And the person who is preparing to rebel is none other than Li Xiaochang, the king of Ngee An.
If the samurai had agreed to Li Tai's request, he would have caused a delay in his trip. If it is really because of your own delay, things have developed to the point that it is uncontrollable. Then he is really a sinner for the ages.
Seeing Wu Shitong's hesitant expression, Li Tai said with a smile: "Since Ying Guogong has something to do to meet his father, it is better to let Ling Gongzi stay and pay for the hunting of this king Nanshan." ”
Hearing Li Tai's words, Samurai Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. So he saluted Li Tai and said, "Originally, I was supposed to accompany His Royal Highness King Wei to hunt in Nanshan." But because there is really an urgent matter to meet the emperor, I can only replace the dog for me. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to the Wei Palace's Mansion to apologize. After Wu Shi Tong finished speaking, he told Wu Yuanqing to follow Li Tai and go to Nanshan to hunt.
He himself boarded it again and rushed to the road of Chang'an City. Looking at the samurai Tong who was gradually leaving, Li Tai said to Wu Yuanqing beside him: "This king originally wanted to leave Ying Guogong behind to ensure his safety. It's a pity that the prince of the country should be loyal to the country, and he has long put life and death aside. ”
Hearing Li Tai's words, Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but feel anxious. Hurriedly opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "How can King Wei see that someone will be unfavorable to his father." ”
Li Tai had already thought of the reason why Wu Shi Tong was in a hurry to meet Li Shimin at this time. That was a rebellion that was about to take place at the end of the first year of Zhenguan. The rebel was none other than the king of Ngee An, Lee Hyo-chang.
And even his own uncle is involved. However, this uncle is not the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Queen Wuji, the half-brother eldest grandson Anye.
In the end, their conspiracy was known to Li Shimin in advance. As a result, they failed in the end, and they also risked their own lives. Of the people involved in this rebellion, only the eldest grandson Anye survived. None of the others were spared.
And in the end, the person who benefited the most in this matter was none other than Samurai Tong. Li Shimin appointed Wu Shitong as the military governor of Li, Long, Shi, Jing, Xi, and Long, as well as the governor of Lizhou. If the samurai didn't make any contribution in this matter. How could he get such a high official?
Therefore, Li Tai already knew the real purpose of the samurai Tong's entry into Beijing this time. And whether someone robbed and killed the samurai in front of him, Li Taike didn't know very well. There is only one reason why he said this, that is, he was ready to let the other party write down his life-saving grace.
Sure enough, as Li Tai expected, when Wu Yuanqing heard that someone was going to be unfavorable to his father. With a nervous look, he began to ask Li Tai.
"The news that Ying Guogong brought to his father this time is too important for Datang and his father. At the same time, for some people, they are also willing to tie to their net worth. Therefore, it is very normal to intercept halfway. Li Tai said to Wu Yuanqing with a sigh.
"Please also ask King Wei to save my father, I, Wu Yuanqing, am willing to use this life to repay King Wei." Wu Yuanqing knelt in front of Li Tai and begged sincerely.
"Since this matter has been encountered by this king, this king has to take care of it. Who wants to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Li Tai looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he had made a big decision, and said to himself.
"Luo Huan obeyed the order, and this king ordered you to take the armor-breaking army and set off immediately. secretly protect the safety of Ying Guogong, and at the same time send a fast horse back to Chang'an first. Ordered Luo Tong to lead the Thunder Green Dragon Army, and Qin Huaiyu to lead the Flame Vermilion Bird Army. At the same time, he went out of the city to meet the Duke of Yingguo. No matter what happens, you must send Ying Guogong safely to his father. Li Tai said to Luo Huan.
"King Wei, if the last general leads the armor-breaking army to leave. Then King Wei, who will protect your safety? Why should the king of Wei put himself in danger for the sake of others. "If you want to say that this Luo Huan is really not an ordinary person. I understand Li Tai's intentions so clearly.
Li Tai also didn't expect that Luo Huan would be able to cooperate with him so much. I couldn't help but glance at Luo Huan in my heart, and then said to Luo Huan: "This king is not a powerless person, not everyone can do it, and this king is embarrassed." ”
"The king of Wei is the father of the family, and he puts himself in danger. This kindness, I, Wu Yuanqing, will always remember in my heart. Please also rest assured that General Luo will be disrespectful if anyone dares to be disrespectful to the King of Wei. Then he can only step over my Wu Yuanqing's corpse. As long as I, Wu Yuanqing, am here, no one will want to hurt King Wei. Wu Yuanqing said after hugging his fist at Luo Huan.
"In that case, the safety of King Wei will be handed over to your brothers." Luo Huan hugged his fists and said to Gao Kan and Li Tianming, Li Tai's bodyguards. Then he turned around and took the war horse and led the broken army to follow the samurai.
"With Luo Huan leading the armor-breaking army to protect, it is estimated that no one can hurt Ying Guogong. So Brother Wu can rest assured. Li Tai patted Wu Yuanqing and said.
In fact, it was Wu Yuanqing who was in a hurry for a while, so he would have more worries. After all, it is now close to Chang'an City, even if Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an, wants to be unfavorable to the warriors. I didn't dare to blatantly send troops to intercept and kill, after all, this Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Besides, if the king of Ngee An, Lee Hyo-chang, had known that Wu Shi Tong would have gone to Beijing to report him. How could he let him come to the foot of this Chang'an City. It is estimated that someone would have been sent to kill his entire family a long time ago.
No matter what the truth of the matter is, all in all, now Li Tai is a lifesaver in the eyes of Wu Yuanqing. Even if no one robbed and killed his father, Li Tai was willing to send his own guards to protect his father. It is worth making him himself loyal to Li Tai for life.
"Your Majesty, for some reason, the Thunder Blue Dragon Army of the Wei King's Forbidden Army, and the Flame Vermilion Bird Army, suddenly left Chang'an City. And it's still ready to go, as if it's going to be a war with someone. At this time, the person in charge of the city gate, the right guard Zhonglang General, came to the palace and said to Li Shimin.
"I heard that today Li Tai took Lizhi and went to Nanshan again to hunt. Could it be that they are in some danger. When the forbidden army of King Wei got the news, he would suddenly go out of the city to rescue him. Li Shimin said to himself.
"Your Majesty, it can be seen from the expressions of the two generals. Although they set out as a whole army, they did not show any anxiousness. Therefore, the probability that His Royal Highness King Wei will encounter danger should be ruled out. Li Shimin, the right guard of the guard, said.
Just when Li Shimin was puzzled, someone suddenly came to report. said that the warrior of the Duke of Yingguo asked to see Li Shimin. At the same time, it was also said that Ying Guogong was forbidden by the King of Wei and personally protected the city. After entering the city, I came directly to the palace, and I didn't even go to the post house. It seems like there is something urgent, and it is the kind of urgent matter that cannot be delayed.
