Osmanthus flowers are fragrant in August. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

July is a fire, August is gold. On the outskirts of Hanjing, the paddy fields in the Nanyang Basin began to turn yellow, as brilliant as gold.

This is the joy of the imminent harvest.

On the road in the middle of a large area of golden rice, a fast horse galloped past, heading towards the tall and majestic Hanjing City.

The gate of the Chai Shao Mansion of the Duke of Chenguo.

An ordinary carriage stopped at the back door, it was a very ordinary old carriage with a canopy made of bamboo strips, and it contained a basket of vegetables and vegetables.

It was dusk, the door opened, and the subordinates of Chai Mansion began to unload the car.

Half of the car was unloaded, and an old man came out of the carriage, with half-gray hair, cloth clothes, and cloth towels. However, he couldn't hide an unusual momentum on his body, and several servants of the Chai family looked at him unexpectedly, but then the housekeeper came over.

"This is from the village to do things." After speaking, he nodded to the old man and motioned for him to follow him in.

The two bypassed the carriage and went straight into the house.

Several servants continued to unload the cart and move vegetables, and said curiously, "What is this old man doing, is he the doorman?" ”

"I haven't heard of someone left in the house, and I need to replace it."

Fuchu.

The housekeeper led the old man but did not go to the backyard miscellaneous office, but went directly to the front yard and went to Chai Shao's study.

"Has Feng Deyi arrived?" The old man asked, where did he look like a countryman when he spoke.

The housekeeper lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Gong Feng arrived two days earlier than Gong Pei, and he is currently in my Ah Lang's study." ”

The old man nodded, he was none other than the prime minister of the Wude Dynasty, the most trusted confidant of the **** dynasty, and after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he was demoted from the capital.

No one would have expected that the former third duke, who was supposed to stay in his hometown, would secretly arrive in Hanjing at this time and appear in Chai Mansion.

Den.

Pei Lin came in, and several people in the room stood up together.

Feng Deyi came over excitedly, "Gong Pei, it's finally here, just waiting for you to preside over the overall situation." ”

Pei Lin greeted several people in the room in turn.

The former Situ and the right servant shot Feng Deyi, the former Hanlin Academy Chengzhi Bachelor Wen Daya, as well as the former Yan King Luo Yi, and the former Hejian King Li Xiaogong, and the former Zong Zhengqing, the eldest princess of Xiangyang.

plus the former concubine Chai Shao, the eldest princess of Pingyang, and he, the former Sikong and the left servant, shot Pei Lone.

Each of the seven people in this room is not simple.

There are clans, horses, former prime ministers, and former kings with different surnames.

Pei Lin walked to the side and sat down, looked at everyone, and laughed a few times.

"The old man pretended to be sick at home, he was dying of illness, he was bedridden every day, and the people who stayed in my house to monitor me must have thought that I was really dying, and I couldn't even see anyone. They didn't expect that the old lady had already arrived in Hanjing. Pei Lin said.

Feng Deyi said a little proudly, "I have long found out who is the eyeliner sent to me by the emperor, and I directly smashed it with money and smashed it until he did things for me." I came out of the house directly, but the eyeliner was still reported to the government and the court every day, and I was still studying and reflecting behind closed doors in my hometown. ”

Seven people laughed together.

After laughing, the tension was much less.

Pei Lin asked, "Didn't you say to contact Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, why didn't these two come?" ”

"I have tested the attitude of the two, and they are also very disappointed in the present, and after I showed them the secret edict of the Emperor Taishang, the two of them expressed their willingness to obey the edict." Chai Shao explained, "But we also have to be careful, not to slack off, in case of a little negligence, the matter is over." Therefore, every time we meet, we have to do it in secret, and not too many people. ”

"The public statement of the state is reasonable, the king does not lose the country, and the minister does not lose his body. Be cautious in this matter. Since Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda are willing to be together, then we have been a little more successful in this matter. ”

Chai Shao smiled and said to Pei Lian, "I have another good news to tell you here, I just got the news that the tyrant Li Shimin has led his army from Chang'an to the Western Regions. Our victory is getting closer and closer, and the time is coming. ”

This restoration plan has been planned for more than a month.

Li Yuan first found Chai Shao, and then found Li Xiaogong, Wen Daya and others, and then handwritten a number of secret edicts to these people, asking them to go around to contact his henchmen and old departments.

A large net is slowly taking shape.

More and more people are getting involved in this project.

The prime ministers and ministers of the Wude Dynasty, as well as the prime ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, as well as the clan, the honorable relatives, the generals of the forbidden army, the generals of the Nanya, and a large group of nobles, nobles, civil officials, and military generals who were unhappy in the new dynasty, slowly focused together under the order of the secret edict.

The mansion of Chai Shao and several people has become the base camp of the restoration.

Li Shimin is now in their mouths, and the word tyrant has been replaced.

The tyrant Li Shimin left Chang'an and went to the Western Regions, which was naturally a great thing. In their plan, it was precisely to wait for Li Shimin to take his army to the Western Regions, and at that time, it was the time of the incident.

"As soon as the tyrant enters the Western Regions, our side will launch at the right time to control Hanjing in one fell swoop and welcome His Majesty's restoration. At that time, the edict will be issued to the world and Li Shimin will be abolished. Pei Lin said with a fist.

This is a special coup d'état.

Three years ago, during the Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuan was caught off guard by his son Li Shimin, allowing Li Shimin to enter the palace directly, control the emperor, and then seize control of the center.

This time, they also decided to take control of the capital first.

Although Li Shimin is still in command of the army and will fight back at any time, this is both a disadvantage and an advantage. The disadvantage is that you can't capture the thief and capture the king, and catch Li Shimin directly. If Li Shimin can be caught, everything will be fine.

However, there are also advantages, if Li Shimin is in Beijing, there are tens of thousands of Beiya forbidden troops loyal to him, and it is too difficult to mutiny, control the palace, control the emperor, and then control the central court.

Now that the tyrant is not there, and the capital is empty, this is the opportunity to take advantage of.

Pei Lin believes that when the emperor is restored and the edict is decreed to the world, a situation of confrontation between Li Yuan's father and son will be formed.

This situation is an excellent success for them now.

In the end, it is unclear who will win and who will lose, but he believes that their side is more likely to win.

The change of Xuanwumen back then, the truth to this day, the tyrant has not dared to announce the world, and has always publicized the completion of the prince and the change of Yuanji Palace, and he is the rescuer.

But if the emperor is restored and father and son are opposed, the whole world will know what the facts of that year were. And the son rebelled against his father, and now that the father is restored, and the father and son are opposed, I believe that the people of the world will definitely be more willing to stand on the side of the emperor.

"Once we seize the center, we can immediately control the capital, and then Your Majesty will immediately edict the world to announce the truth about the Xuanwumen Incident back then, and to order the world to abolish the demon law of the tyrant Li Shimin ** minister Li Chao. At that time, the people of the world will inevitably respond in groups and support Your Majesty together. ”

Chai Shao nodded.

"The tyrant Shimin took away a large number of forbidden troops in Beijing, and took away many soldiers from the Southern Yafu from nearby. Now is the time when the defense is empty, and we have contacted many generals and colonels in the north and south, and they have all expressed their willingness to support His Majesty's restoration. ”

"How many people are there now?" Pei Lin asked.

"Now there are about 3,000 soldiers from the north and south."

"Too little." Pei Lin shook his head.

"The family members of each family can also make up two or three thousand."

Pei Lin pointed out the most critical place, "On the day of the palace change, we have three things that are the most important, first, enter the Daming Palace and welcome His Majesty. Second, attack the East Palace and control the prince of the prison country. Third, control the Zhongshu Gate, the Hanlin Academy, and the Privy Council, and control the center of the imperial court. Only when these three things are completed can we talk about controlling the center and controlling Hanjing. ”
