Chapter 250

Therefore, the emperor could not let Li Chengye return to Chang'an with the hope of great achievements. He had to make a mistake, a mistake lighter than rebellion but heavier than mutiny.

Only in such a degree can he calmly arrange the Li family, not only make it possible for the Li family to become power ministers, but also prepare for the new emperor.

The emperor knew this degree very well, but he couldn't guarantee whether the Li family and his son knew it. In order to prevent the Li family and their son from doing some ridiculous stupid things, he must arrange things skillfully enough, so we need to accurately grasp the hearts of the people here.

After thinking for a period of time, the emperor kept turning over several brochures in front of him, including Baiqi's detailed description of many bureaucratic characters in the eastern capital Luoyang, Princess Shouning's analysis of the Li family, and some letters from other espionage.

At first, he wanted to find a way for Li Chengye, but after so many years of cooperation between monarchs and officials, he knew that Li Chengye was honest, smart and brave, but he lacked some political sense of smell. He was very similar to Li Jing, the Duke of Wei.

If you start with him, you may be clumsy. Therefore, the emperor set his eyes on his two sons. First of all, it was Li Dingguo, who was rated as a general by Princess Shouning.

After some record analysis, this man seems to have some sympathy for the anti thief and the people. He is extremely self-discipline and has a straight personality. Although brave and resolute, he is still kind-hearted and can be called the hero of the world.

The Emperor didn't think much of his personality. He didn't like heroes very much. A person with self-discipline and straight personality is often not conducive to the control of power, and has his own set of human standards as a creed of life. Such a person is not under any control.

It is only the Tang Dynasty, not the Li Tang royal family, who wants to be loyal to this person. Thinking of this, the Emperor gave a slight sneer, but glanced at Li Dingguo's deeds of sympathizing with the refugees and anti thieves several times, and gradually raised a plan in his heart to take this person as a breakthrough.

Later, he turned over a booklet of fan Heng left in the east capital, which recorded fan Heng's greedy and treacherous personality and the story of his family being slaughtered by anti thieves. Then he saw that this person seemed to have a political alliance with Zhang Zhen.

The corner of the emperor's mouth slightly stirred up and planned a fold for personnel transfer.

In doing so, I don't worry that Li Dingguo won't take the bait. I'm only seventeen, but I haven't reached the crown yet. It's just a time of vigorous vitality. Young man, it's good——

After putting down the fold, he closed his eyes and thought of Zhang Zhen, a close attendant who grew up with him from the prince's hidden residence.

Thinking of him, the emperor clenched his fist, raised an anger of hatred that he was not steel, and then there was nothing to do. He can't kill Zhang Zhen because he is the only one in the inner court who can fight against Li Chengye. He has a lot of use value and can be used as a corner of power checks and balances. He can't give up easily.

After Zhang Zhen's defeat, relying on his strong martial arts, he left the battlefield alone. He thought about it for three days and nights above the evil array in the suburbs of Xingyang. He also tangled in his heart for three days and nights. Finally, he chose to return to Chang'an.

At that time, he knew the possible consequences of his return to Chang'an, but he also made relevant preparations to ensure that he could escape alive no matter what happened.

At that time, he thought that the left Shence army must be over. He didn't know how many soldiers Wang Xianzhi had. He mistakenly thought it was 300000 people and surrounded a small area of more than 20000 Shence soldiers. Even if Li Chengye is the reincarnation of the military God, such a huge strength gap must be unable to return to heaven.

Therefore, it is very likely that after the anti thief, even the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasty will act like their ancestors to escape to Bashu and give up Chang'an.

So he thought that with his control over the right Shence army on weekdays, no one in the court could handle them like himself. Maybe the emperor needed to control the right Shence army as a guard to escape all the way.

Therefore, returning to Chang'an may not die.

In addition, Zhang Zhen knows that the national master has returned to Zhongnanshan Chunyang palace and seems to want to take action against the magic gate. The whole Chang'an City has no martial arts comparable to his own, and a mysterious organization has been established behind him.

Even if the emperor wanted to kill himself in a rage, Zhang Zhen was sure to escape all over the body. It was a big deal to escape to the western region of the border town. At that time, the anti thief will win the world. Is he still afraid of Li Tang's royal family chasing him all over the world?

With these backroads, Zhang Zhen was unwilling to give up his power, so he planned to return to Beijing to gamble.

Sure enough, although the emperor was angry, even the ministers shouted to kill themselves. But the emperor kept him, only removed his position and put him in prison.

He knew that the emperor was still reluctant to kill himself, because the emperor's life was close. How could a greedy, lecherous and weak young emperor hold down the courtiers of these aristocratic families. He has to rely on himself. Only himself, a close attendant who has followed him from the hidden residence, is really worthy of trust.

Zhang Zhen won the bet. He didn't even have a bad life in the prison. He couldn't be picky except where he lived. No one dared to make trouble with him, and even the prison guards had to butter him up.

Zhang Zhen had a natural and unrestrained life, but when he heard that Li Chengye broke Wang Xianzhi, cut his head and sent his armor, body and flag back to Beijing to show the power of divine strategy.

Zhang Zhencai was not natural and unrestrained. When he heard the news, he didn't believe it. Even excited, he almost strangled the jailer.

Later, inside the prison, we could hear the celebration voice of the guards and maids outside. It seemed that the voice also included the voice from the people outside the Daming Palace. The whole Chang'an was boiling.

Zhang Zhen finally had to believe it and sat down in bed. Li Chengye's success fully shows his stupidity and failure. He had even imagined that those goddamn envoys like crows would write impeachment memorials overnight and cut themselves in half for various reasons!

In addition to defeating Wu Junxi, he made great contributions in this war. What he did all the way, but he offended many gentry and powerful forces. It is conceivable that civil servants wanted to kill him.

But the emperor is still alive. They can only complain. You literati can't do anything! Zhang Zhen thought of this scene and felt a little better.

Then he thought of something and listened to the jailer: "since the good news has been spread to the capital, the siege of the martial prison must have been solved?"

"Return to father-in-law, the day before the good news came, the siege of Wu prison had been solved. The Marquis of the county has captured 100000 bandits and left them in wulaoguan. He is leading Shence officers and men to pursue the north. "

"Oh? 100000 prisoners of war! " Zhang Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Do you know who is stationed in wulaoguan or Xingyang?"

"Well, it's said that Li Dingguo, the eldest son of the county Marquis, seems to be the thief chieftain Wang Xianzhi who killed him alone. Oh, by the way, it's said that your majesty has issued a will. It seems that you have asked the east capital to stay and fan Heng to go to the main business of Wulao. "

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen's eyes lit up. Fan Heng is my lackey. Although I was in trouble, if I could send a letter to him in the prison, he would see the situation clearly and dare not betray me.

I didn't get anything since the Li family and their son took the military merit. The array aura in the suburbs of Xingyang can't be let out anymore. Hum, there are just 100000 thieves captured. It must be the thieves who escaped from Xuzhou. I let fan Heng sacrifice blood to them and avenge their defeat that day!

Then Zhang Zhen asked the jailer for a piece of stationery, wrote a letter, asked the jailer to help him deliver the letter, and promised many benefits at the same time. Some of the prison guards did not dare to agree. Finally, under the coercion and inducement of Zhang Zhen, they had to agree.

After he got out of the prison, the jailer turned left and right, connected with a man from a hundred riding division, and handed the letter to him.

The people of the Baiqi division tossed and turned and brought the letter to the emperor. The emperor looked at the letter, smiled and said to himself, "the last short board has been made up."

After reading it, he handed the letter to the Baiqi division and asked them to send it to fan Heng according to Zhang Zhenfen's instructions.
