Chapter 711: Persuade the prince to ascend to the throne early
Although Wu Youren did not discuss with Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun, he came to a unanimous conclusion, that is, let Li Chongjiu ascend the throne as much as possible, so that the raw rice can be cooked into rice, then Li Yan, the emperor of Chang'an, will have no way to take Li Chongjiu, and Wu Youren's glory and wealth, as well as the ideal of wanting the first minister in the world, can still continue.
Li Chongjiu was thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't think that his special hobbies would be regarded as sins and reported to his father, and his father had the idea of abolishing himself, and also sent a secret decree to Yang Ze, fortunately, Yang Ze was killed by mistake because of this!
Hearing Wu Youren say this, he wanted to persuade him to ascend the throne in Taiyuan, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't think so far, after all, he was not a person with a good brain.
Li Chongjiu was stunned, and then said, "But, shouldn't we win over Gui Baohua first?" He killed Yang Ze, and he had a heavy army, if he could turn to support Gu, wouldn't Gu's position be more stable, and it would seem more appropriate to ascend the throne at that time, right? β
If he wants to ascend the throne, it is better to ascend the throne in Chang'an, return to Chang'an with a large number of soldiers, and then force his father to abdicate and become the emperor.
Wu Youren shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, that Gui Baohua doesn't need to be wooed, because the minister estimates that he won't live long at all, as long as Yang Ze's death is announced, then Gui Baohua will definitely be cut down by Yang Ze's subordinates, and it is impossible for Yang Ze's subordinates to let him live too long, the infighting of the Yan army is inevitable, and it will definitely be in these few days, infighting together, and the army will definitely collapse." β
"However, among Yang Ze's henchmen, isn't there anyone who helps Gui Baohua, what is that Wang Peilun? Didn't he want to cover up the news like Gui Baohua? So even if there is infighting, it won't be too big, right? Li Chongjiu was still a little hesitant, he wanted to win over Gui Baohua, and then get Yan Jun into his hands, so of course he hoped that Gui Baohua would not have an accident.
Wu Youren sighed, only feeling that Li Chongjiu's brain was too bad, but the more brainless Li Chongjiu was, the better, the more he would value him. The more you listen to him!
Wu Youren said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you think, the reason why Yang Ze's henchmen said that in the big tent is because he is afraid that Gui Baohua will kill them all if he doesn't do anything, but if they get out of the big tent and join up with King Yan's hardcore henchmen, then they won't be so polite to Gui Baohua anymore." β
After a pause, Wu Youren thought for a moment. He also said: "Wang Peilun will first contact Shen Deyin of Chang'an to ensure that even if Yang Ze dies, their glory and wealth will not disappear, because the princess is still alive." It is very likely that she will become the empress, so they don't have to worry too much about anything, and when they discuss this, they will meet Gui Baohua again. Discuss what to do next. At this time, Gui Baohua will also calm down, and he will think about whether to support the Princess Banzai, or support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please think, what will Gui Baohua decide? β
Li Chongjiu didn't think about it at all, and said directly: "Of course I want to support Gu, if he kills Yang Ze, he kills Caicai's husband, how can Caicai let him live again, even if he stammers Caicai again, it is useless, the revenge of killing his husband, do you still expect Caicai not to revenge!" β
Wu Youren slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's what happened!" In that case, is it possible for Yang Ze's subordinates to keep Gui Baohua alive? That's bound to kill him, there is no second possibility, what cooperation, what everyone will blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, these are all casual words, Yang Ze's subordinates can't hide the truth from Princess Banzai, and as long as Princess Banzai knows, Gui Baohua must die, it's as simple as that, Gui Baohua himself will definitely be able to figure this out, so he is very likely to strike first, but whether he can win or not is not necessarily! β
It's a pity that Li Chongjiu's mind still didn't turn around, he said: "Then we just happened to secretly contact Gui Baohua and help him get rid of Yang Ze's subordinates, isn't this okay, Gui Baohua will definitely bring the army to surrender!" β
Wu Youren really wanted to slap Li Chongjiu twice, do you have a little brain, is the thing said by just your mouth, you can't think about how to implement it! He said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you want to help Gui Baohua and let him win in the infighting, so how can you help?" Your Highness, are you going to send the Jinwu Army or the Taiyuan Army, and who will lead the troops? If you don't send troops, you just rely on your mouth to help him, will it be good? β
Uh, Li Chongjiu then remembered that he didn't have a strong general, let alone a strong army, and he really couldn't give Gui Baohua practical help!
Li Chongjiu had no choice but to rub his temples and said, "Then, it can only be like Brother Wu said, Lone ascended the throne in Taiyuan." It's just that I can't go back to Chang'an to ascend the throne, which is really a pity for Lone! β
"After returning to Chang'an, if His Royal Highness wants to make up for it, then it will be reissued, as long as he wins the world, even if His Highness wants to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, it is a trivial matter!" Wu Youren comforted casually.
Li Chongjiu nodded, he suddenly became excited, and said with a smile: "If Lone can succeed in getting the world, then Brother Wu is the first hero, and in the future, Lone will draw a portrait on the Lingyan Pavilion, and he will paint a portrait of Brother Wu!" β
Wu Youren was overjoyed, quickly got up and saluted, and said: "Thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is grateful, and he is willing to die for His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
The two Jin Crow soldiers, who had been listening to the side, thought to themselves: "This is going to be called the emperor, what kind of portrait do you want to paint, what is that?" β
The two golden crow soldiers hurriedly seized the opportunity and knelt down for Li Chongjiu together, they were not like Wu Youren, they were still calling Li Chongjiu His Royal Highness the Prince, they directly shouted: "Thank you Lord Longen, the last general is also willing to die for the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" β
Wu Youren glared at the two of them, he was too good at sycophancy, he didn't even want to be cheeky, I was embarrassed to call the emperor, and as a result, the two of you took the lead.
Li Chongjiu was happy for a moment, and then asked Wu Youren: "Then are we going to call Prince Cheng and King Jingde County and discuss with them?" β
Wu Youren said: "Yes, yes, the minister almost forgot, if you want to do something in Taiyuan, these two old princes will definitely not be able to get over, and they have to help!" β
He directly sent out the two golden crow soldiers, and asked them to call Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun, Li Chongjiu wanted to ascend the throne in Taiyuan, and promoted Emperor Li Yan to Emperor Taishang. Without the help of the two princes, it would definitely not be possible, so they had to come.
Wu Youren took advantage of the time to call the two old princes, and he discussed with Li Chongjiu to see how to achieve the goal of ascending the throne, whether to take the initiative to guide or hint, however, it is estimated that with the wisdom of the two old princes, as long as they can understand that Yang Ze is dead. Li Chongjiu will win, so what they let them do, they will do, about this, Wu Youren and Li Chongjiu are confident.
After a long time, when Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren were hungry, Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun came, neither of them came by themselves, they both brought their children and grandchildren. Prince Cheng brought Li Bowen, while King Jingdejun brought his son, as well as Li Bozhi and several other grandsons.
Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun brought their children and grandchildren in, and after the ceremony. Prince Cheng said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that it is now the last moment of the decisive battle with King Yan, so the minister wants to recall all the children and grandchildren who are scattered abroad for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drive." Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your permission. β
King Jingde also said this, and it was obvious that the attitude of the two of them was to bet all the treasures on Li Chongjiu's side. Before being told the news that "Yang Ze is dead", this can be regarded as the ultimate way to show loyalty.
Li Chongjiu was quite happy, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that the two old princes could contribute all their children and grandchildren, which meant that they would fully support themselves, and there should be no problems with the enthronement in Taiyuan.
But Wu Youren thought about it a lot, and as soon as he saw the attitude of the two old princes, he immediately wondered if Li Mofeng leaked the news of Yang Ze's death? If this is the case, Li Mofeng is not worth any great use, a person who can't even do basic secrecy work well, how much profit can he have, and he doesn't dare to hand over important things to him!
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Okay, as the saying goes, brothers in war, fathers and sons in battle, if you want to say that you can do your best to support the lonely, it is still you relatives of your own family!" β
Saying that, he was very emotional, of course, in addition to Wu Youren now, he is a hundred golden crow soldiers, if there is no support from the royal family members in Taiyuan, then he will really become the prince of Guangjiaoer.
Wu Youren said: "Two old princes, since you have sent your children and grandchildren, and you want to let the children and grandchildren who are displaced return to their ancestral family, this is a good thing, under the rule of the empress before, the life of the Li family and the royal family were not easy, but now it can be regarded as turning back, and it is the world of the Li family again, so the position of the emperor has to be a man to sit on!" β
To imply, the future emperor can never be a woman, so if anyone wants to make the princess banzai the empress, then everyone will oppose it to the end!
Wu Youren looked at Li Bowen and them, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, let a few people go outside and talk to the Golden Crow soldiers, let's talk about the art of war or something, everyone is familiar with it, and it will be easy to work together in the future." "Actually, I just want to send the idle people and wait out.
Of course, Prince Cheng and King Jingde County understood, and hurriedly waved their hands to Li Bowen and they went outside to wait, and King Jingde County personally closed the door and waited for Li Chongjiu to say something.
Li Chongjiu coughed, he really couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said: "Tell everyone a good news, Yang Ze was killed by Gui Baohua, this news is true, it is estimated that the Yan army will be in chaos in these few days." β
Li Chongjiu's words were very sudden, and there was no beginning or end, if ordinary people heard the news, they would immediately be shocked, and then doubted, they couldn't believe that it was true, just like all of them reacted when they heard the news!
Prince Kecheng and King Jingde were both surprised and delighted, they both got up at the same time and said to Li Chongjiu: "Yan thief is dead, this is God's favor for His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
That's not right!
Wu Youren thought to himself: "It seems that they already knew about Yang Ze's killing!" Forget it, you know, they know about it, and they saved me a lot of words, but that Li Mofeng can't be reused, although the news was brought back by him, but who dares to use it with such a fast mouth, a little bit of everything is said! β
Wu Youren glanced at Li Chongjiu, then turned his head to the two old princes and said, "This news was brought back by Li Mofeng, the two princes should have already seen him!" β
Prince Cheng and King Jingde paused slightly, it seemed that they had to betray Li Mofeng, because Wu Youren could see that they had gotten the news in advance, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to, and why hide it, Li Mofeng is an old man, but he is just a distant relative, as long as their children and grandchildren come back, they can replace Li Mofeng in an instant.
Prince Cheng nodded and said: "I've seen it, Li Mofeng's child is quite good, after seeing this king, he said that this king can rest assured, he can sleep peacefully in the future, the danger has passed, this king is puzzled, he said the cause and effect, this child is good, if you say anything that should not be said, please forgive Lord Wu." β
This sounds like he is praising Li Mofeng, but in fact he is telling Wu Youren that Li Mofeng said about Yang Ze's death, but he didn't take the initiative to ask, it was Li Mofeng who took the initiative to say, even if you want to find trouble, go to Li Mofeng, don't trouble him.
Li Chongjiu's face changed at that time, he was not a person who would hide his inner thoughts, and he was of course unhappy when he heard that the news was leaked by Li Mofeng. Although this news has to be known to the two old princes sooner or later, the difference between what comes out of the mouth of him, the prince, or someone else's mouth, is too big.
Wu Youren said with a smile: "Li Mofeng is still very capable, he is a good seedling, let's not talk about him first, let's talk about how to use Yang Ze's death!" By the way, do you know that the emperor wants to make the princess Banzai the crown princess? β
How can you not know this, isn't the reason why Yang Ze was "mistakenly killed" by Gui Baohua because of this, if you don't know this, how can you be sure that Yang Ze is dead!
The two old princes looked at Li Chongjiu in unison, but after only one glance, they felt that something was wrong at the same time, why did Li Yan, the emperor of Chang'an, set up a long-lived princess as the imperial princess? Isn't that because they know Li Chongjiu's hobbies, the emperor can know it, they can know it, but they must not let Li Chongjiu know about itβthey already know it!
Prince Cheng shook his head and said: "This, this king doesn't know, Li Mofeng didn't say it, we are all in the dark, and I hope Lord Wu will tell you!" β
Li Chongjiu was very unhappy, he just didn't turn his brain fast, and he wasn't a fool, how could he not see the expressions of the two old princes just now, that is, he couldn't help it, so he glanced at himself, which means that they know the truth, these two old bastards, know too much!
Wu Youren said: "It's nothing, it's just all kinds of rumors, the reasons are naΓ―ve and ridiculous, don't say it!" After a pause, he said again: "Since the two of you already know what happened, what is the way to deal with it, please tell the two princes." β
Prince Cheng and King Jingde glanced at each other, they were both a little hesitant, they didn't expect Wu Youren to ask them so directly, and they thought they wanted to hint!
Actually, Wu Youren had the intention to hint at it, but both of them knew that they had passed it, and what else did they need to hint at, so it was better to say it directly.
Prince Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and got up from the chair, as did King Jingdejun, the two of them knelt down in front of Li Chongjiu together, and said in unison: "The minister thinks that the top priority is to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne in Taiyuan and ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to eliminate the ambition of the princess Banzai!"
