The main reason why the royal family of Taiyuan was able to survive in the era of Empress Dugu and did not suffer much loss is that they are very aware of current affairs, as long as they can survive, even if they pretend to be grandchildren, they will not hesitate, so they can not only survive at the dangerous moment when the royal family members across the country are swept away by Empress Dugu, but also live a very nourishing life.

Although they lived a little hard, they boiled Empress Dugu to death, the former ruler of the empire died, but they are still alive, this is considered a victory, whoever lives is the winner, they all understand this very well.

And from the side, it also reflects one of their advantages, that is, they will stand in line, although others think that they have not stood in line, including themselves who also think so, but in fact they are not, bending their knees to the Dugu Empress and begging for mercy, saying that it is better to call forbearance and humiliation and stealing life, in fact, this is also a way to stand in line, but the performance is not so obvious, people do not feel that they are standing on the side of the Dugu Queen, and no one feels that they are actually betraying the royal family, which is actually the practice of smart people.

But because they are too good at doing this obscure way of standing in line, Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun invariably made the idea of betraying Li Chongjiu at the moment when they found out that Li Chongjiu was very likely to be finished, and they not only planned to implement it, but also planned to blame others, such as Li Mofeng, in their words, this is called losing the car and protecting the handsome, in order to let most of the Taiyuan royal family survive, they can only sacrifice someone who is also in the royal family.

For the current situation, Prince Cheng and King Jingde are very clear, if they have been following Li Chongjiu's side and following him to the end, then Yang Ze will enter the city, and they must be killed, just say that they died in the chaos, this is the path they will never choose.

The other path is for them to surrender to Yang Ze. hand over Li Chongjiu, but if Li Chongjiu does not die, of course, Li Chongjiu is not dead, which means that he was alive when he handed it over, Yang Ze will definitely kill Li Chongjiu, then the emperor of Chang'an will hate their relatives to death, after all, the emperor can do anything to his son, but he was betrayed and died, then the emperor will not be able to stand it. Revenge will be taken against these relatives, and their family will still be killed and uprooted.

This is still not the path they will choose!

The third option is that the Li Chongjiu they handed over is a dead man, and this road cannot be chosen, because Yang Ze will use the excuse that they killed the crown prince Li Chongjiu, so they want to avenge Li Chongjiu, and they will kill them all, which can be regarded as revenge for Li Chongjiu, and they can also sell a good thing to the emperor of Chang'an. said that Li Chongjiu was not killed by him, but by the Taiyuan royal family, only stupid people would choose this path, they are not stupid. So they won't choose.

The last way is to hand over a dead Li Chongjiu, but Li Chongjiu did not die at their hands, but at the hands of a person who hated Li Chongjiu, and then they killed this person. It can be regarded as avenging Li Chongjiu, and then surrendering to Yang Ze.

This means that they have not betrayed Li Chongjiu and will not offend the emperor of Chang'an. It will also be because the person who handed over is a dead person, and there is no need for Yang Ze to do it himself, which saves him trouble, so Yang Ze can't find a reason to kill them, but uses them as witnesses to prove that Li Chongjiu really didn't die in his hands, so as to give an explanation to the emperor of Chang'an, so that no one can find their fault.

Their family can continue to live a prosperous and prosperous life, and it is still safe, so this is the path they want to choose.

This choice is perfect, at least they think so, so that an important person in the plan appears, that is, Li Mofeng, who made Li Chongjiu want to kill him, and until now, no one has carried out this order, so as long as Li Mofeng "escapes", then there is no sufficient reason to seek revenge on Li Chongjiu, and then, they will avenge Li Chongjiu!

What a perfect plan, only a scheming person like Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun would come up with it, these two old princes themselves have to admire themselves!

Prince Cheng and King Jingde deliberately fell to the back of the crowd, and it was not until everyone entered the left-behind mansion that they went in slowly, but when they walked into the courtyard, they were reluctant to go anymore, and they watched Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren enter the lobby.

But they are the heads of the Taiyuan royal family, and the other lords and grandfathers all take their heads as horses, and when they refuse to enter the lobby, they all stop, and some of the lords have a better relationship with them, so they come over and ask in a low voice what to do next?

Prince Cheng and King Jingdejun will not say their true thoughts, in case there are people here who are unreliable and have too loose mouths, isn't it going to be a big deal, and besides, they can be regarded as a long-term plan for all the relatives in the entire Taiyuan, so that everyone can follow and borrow light, and there is no need to tell them why.

Prince Cheng said: "That Li Mofeng hasn't been cut yet, you have to take care of him, this person now hates His Royal Highness the Prince, if he is allowed to escape, it will be bad, this person is extreme, who knows what he will do!" ”

In his words, a little bit of attitude is revealed, if you are a person with a heart, you will definitely hear this attitude, if you are the kind of person who has no heart and lungs...... If you can't hear it, you can't hear it, who cares what they think!

There were a few lords around who heard this, and they were all slightly stunned, His Royal Highness the Prince? At this time, why didn't you call the emperor, but even called His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that these two old princes have ideas, and this idea must be unfavorable to Li Chongjiu.

The situation outside the city is so crisis, there are not many lords who still want to support Li Chongjiu anymore, they even regret it, why did they support him in the first place, if they were still neutral and did not help each other, then the current crisis, wouldn't it have nothing to do with them, everyone is still living a comfortable life, why be so anxious as now!

Those who didn't understand Prince Cheng's attitude were still so stupid, but those who understood this attitude were silent, and at this time they didn't speak out against it, in fact, it was tantamount to acquiescence, some things, just understand, there is no need to say it.

At this time, Li Bozhi came back, he walked up to King Jingdejun, whispered a few words, King Jingde County nodded, and then whispered a few words to Li Bozhi. Li Bozhi was about to turn around and leave, but Prince Kecheng stopped him at this time and told him a few more words, and Li Bozhi left, not knowing what to do.

What they whispered, the other lords didn't hear it, but they could all estimate how to deal with Li Chongjiu, and none of the lords squeaked and didn't ask anything. It's just that they all gathered around the two old princes, dozens of people, but they didn't make a sound at all, just standing silently in the dark.

At this time, Li Chongjiu, who entered the lobby, sat heavily on the chair and said to Wu Youren: "Wu Aiqing, it seems that the situation is not very favorable to us. Then you deduce that the brocade book that Li Mofeng got last time is the brocade book that says that my father wants to abolish me. Is it true or fake? ”

Now that his consciousness has returned to normal, he can finally think about the problem objectively, and when he thinks about it, he realizes it. If that brocade book is really a fake edict, then what will Yang Ze do?

Wu Youren sighed and said, "In the humble opinion of the ministers, the so-called edict. It must be fake, it is a trick made by Yang Ze to deal with the emperor, but it's a pity. We've really been fooled! ”

Li Chongjiu heard that the edict was fake, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good if it's fake, and the fake one proves that the father and the queen mother didn't want to abolish me, and they didn't want to be the queen daughter, so it's okay!" ”

Wu Youren frowned and said: "However, the emperor, you have ascended the throne, and you have also issued an edict, and now the officials, the army, and the people in Taiyuan know about it, this is a rebellion, is the emperor sure that the emperor and the queen mother will not be held accountable?" ”

Li Chongjiu lowered his head and thought about things, and was silent for a moment, he raised his head and said, "I am very sure, my father and mother will not pursue it." They have lost the throne in Zhenxi for so long, although they are now regaining the throne, but some time ago I found that they are not interested in the governance of the previous dynasty at all, for them, spending their old age in peace is the most important, so even if they know that I have ascended the throne and serve them as the emperor and the queen mother, at most they will be angry, but they will not take my life. ”

Wu Youren listened and nodded slightly, Emperor Li Yan is not the kind of tough lord who says everything, and although the queen is tougher, but for her only son to ascend the throne, even if she is angry, she will not kill her son, and she is not the Dugu Empress, as long as she can continue to live her good life, it is estimated that she will not make much trouble.

Wu Youren said: "Your Majesty, do you think that the Emperor and the Queen Mother will lose their temper after hearing about your accession to the throne at the beginning, but after calming down, maybe they are afraid of more trouble, so they have to admit it, really abdicate, and become the Emperor and the Queen Mother!" Your Majesty, do you think this is possible? ”

Li Chongjiu closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he opened his eyes and said, "Very likely." Wu Aiqing, you think, if the father and mother don't admit this matter, they must punish me, but in this way, they will be afraid that Yang Ze will use this opportunity to seize power, if something happens that they can't control, it will be worse, so in order to be more stable and not let the imperial power fall, they are really likely to admit this matter, according to me, this is almost ninety percent sure! ”

He has never analyzed things so clearly, but when he analyzes his father and mother, he is still a little brainy, and even Wu Youren thinks that his analysis is very reasonable.

Wu Youren said: "The minister also thinks so, and it is estimated that Yang Ze outside the city will also think of this, so if he enters the city, then the emperor will really be in danger, and he will definitely do the evil thing of killing the king!" ”

Of course Li Chongjiu understands this, he doesn't understand other things, but he doesn't need to understand anything more about his own life.

Li Chongjiu said: "I have to hurry up and tell Prince Cheng about this, let them help me defend the city, it is estimated that as long as I hold it for a few days, the messenger of Chang'an will arrive, and even if Yang Ze wants to take advantage of the chaos to harm me, he will not dare, unless he really wants to pull the flag and rebel, so ......"

He suddenly sighed, just now he was patronizing and analyzing his father and mother with Wu Youren, but he forgot Prince Cheng's group, and now he thinks of them, but he finds that there is no one in the lobby!

Wu Youren also reacted at this time, he jumped up with a snort, and exclaimed: "Oops, they have different intentions, these wall grasses, why don't they have a little brain!" ”

This is also his negligence, but, when he was anxious, he also let him think about everything, he really doesn't have that ability, after all, his ability can only be regarded as a central person, not a prime minister who can control the overall situation, thinking about the first minister in the world, that's just a good wish of him!

If Wu Youren was not negligent, after entering the lobby with Li Chongjiu, he asked Prince Cheng and them to come in together, then if it was analyzed, Prince Cheng and the others would naturally be able to hear it, so that there would be no misunderstanding, but now it is too late, even if it is analyzed again, Prince Cheng They will not believe it, they will think that Li Chongjiu is trying to survive, and deliberately analyzing it like that, he is lying!

Li Chongjiu also stood up, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and said, "You said they want to surrender to Yang Ze?" These bastards! Let them in, and I will reprimand them!" ”

At this time, suddenly the back door of the lobby was kicked open, and a man dressed in black broke in, his face covered with a black cloth, and he held a long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Li Chongjiu!

When Li Chongjiu heard the voice, he turned his head suddenly, and saw the man in black rushing over, and he immediately shouted: "There is an assassin, come quickly, Du Dachin, come quickly!" ”

At this time, he finally thought of Du Da chin, but he forgot one thing, that is, Prince Cheng did not enter the lobby, and Du Da chin also did not enter, what does this mean?

Wu Youren was standing beside Li Chongjiu, and he was also panicked at this time, he picked up a chair and blocked Li Chongjiu, and he also shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins!" ”

But this person with a sword in his hand is quite good, of course, he is not a martial arts master, but it is more than enough to deal with Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren!

The man in black didn't say a word, raised his leg and swept it, kicked the chair in Wu Youren's hand, took a step forward, raised his sword and stabbed, only to hear a bang, this long sword stabbed into Wu Youren's chest, and the man in black twisted his hand, stirring Wu Youren's chest to shreds, and then pulled out the long sword!

Wu Youren screamed loudly, fell to the ground, kicked his leg twice, and died instantly, and he died so neatly that he didn't even suffer for a while!

Li Chongjiu was so frightened that his whole body was numb, and the huge fear made him unable to even move, and in an instant, his whole body became stiff, and he could only watch the man in black swing his sword and slash at him!

I only felt that my neck was cold, Li Chongjiu felt his head fly into the air, he saw his body, and the last consciousness was: I'm over?

There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, Du Da's chin was late, he clearly saw that Li Chongjiu's head was cut off, and he thought: "Li Chongjiu, he can be regarded as dead!" ”

Prince Cheng and King Jingde also saw what was happening in the hall, and they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and thought in their hearts at the same time: "Finally, I can give King Yan outside the city a reasonable explanation!" (To be continued......)
