Since Li Jingye is so confident, it is naturally because of his 100000 troops outside Yangzhou City and Li Hong's unwillingness to let the south of the Yangtze River ignite a fire of war. Therefore, this makes him dare to ask for a price.
"Your Highness, now I have 100000 soldiers and horses in my hand. Even when the Tang Dynasty was established, the 100000 troops and horses are enough to make a king under Emperor Gaozu. Therefore, if your highness is sincere, please immediately report to the imperial court and ask your majesty to grant me the title of King. Then I, Li Jingye, promise to retire immediately from Jinling, Runzhou and Changzhou." Li Jingye saw that Li Hong looked at him with a smile but did not speak. He seemed to be thinking about his own conditions, so he said his requirements again.
"Do you worship the king? At that time, Li Ji, the Duke of England, was only granted the title of Duke of the state by the late Emperor Taizong. Moreover, since the establishment of the country in Tang Dynasty, there has never been a king of different surnames. Xu Jingye, your ambition is too big? But it's ok... " Li Hong's tone and expression were relaxed and natural. After looking at Li Jingye and the king of Yue, he said: "now at least I know your ambition. At least I know that you don't pay attention to the imperial court. Even if you honor the king and worship you, in the end, both the court and the emperor will lose face."
"So your highness does not agree? Seeing that the people of the four cities in the south of the Yangtze River are in the midst of war and chaos, their wives and children are separated, their families are broken, and their families are destroyed and people are killed? " Li Jingye's face sank and asked coldly.
Li Hong ignored him again. Instead, he continued to stare at the king of Yue and asked, "who's looking for Lao Liu's double? Did Lao Liu know when you went down to the south of the Yangtze River? What is your purpose? How much is Lao Liu involved? If I recruit them truthfully, maybe I will see if I want to send you back to Chang'an to see my father and Emperor. "
"Li Hong, don't bully people too much. Even if your majesty comes to the south of the Yangtze River, you won't talk to my father like this. We are not subjects, we are royal relatives..." Li Chong, the king of Langya, stood up and said angrily.
"So what?" Li Hong looked at Li Chong, who was angry and stood up. After finishing his spare time, Li Hong said: "help Lao Liu fight for the crown prince, and go south to the south of the Yangtze River to prevent me from returning to Chang'an. I'm afraid it's your purpose to ask me to stay here or disappear from this world?"
"You It's just your own guess. Can't we have fun when we come to Jiangnan? " The king of Langya looked at Li Chong, who was smiling and felt that this excuse was too lame. Where did you put a Zhechong mansion in the mansion?
So he took a look at Li Jingye, relaxed his tone and said, "it's really wrong for me and my father to send troops privately, but it's also because we didn't expect Yangzhou city to be so chaotic. In order to protect myself, I had to do this. My father was still saying, let me inform you."
Li Zhen patted Li Chong's arm and motioned him to sit down. She said quietly, "yes, it's really about fighting for the crown prince's position for Li Xian, and has indeed found a substitute for Li Xian. Your highness is requested to punish him."
Li Chong was surprised and looked at Li Zhen, the king of Yue. How could he tell the truth to the prince?
"What's the purpose of finding a substitute for Li Xian? Do you want to attract my attention, or do you come out to clean up the mess and accumulate prestige for Lao Liu after I and Li Jingye are both defeated? " Li Hong continues to ask lightly.
Li Jingye didn't want to interrupt at this time. He also wanted to know what role he played in their plans after Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and others went to the south of the Yangtze River. He wanted to know whether he was highly valued and not despised by them.
Li Zhen, the king of Yue, lowered her eyes and, despite Li Chong's obstruction, continued to say calmly: "yes, Li Hong, you have not guessed wrong. You have to find a substitute for Li Xian because if Li Xian leaves Chang'an without permission, his majesty and the empress will surely pay attention to it. In this way, our plan to stop you in the south of the Yangtze River will not succeed, but in order to stop your plan in the south of the Yangtze River can succeed, We can also accumulate the chips for Li Xian to become prince with his majesty and the queen, as well as his popularity among the people. So we came up with a strategy to find a substitute to go down to the south of the Yangtze River instead of Li Xian. "
When talking about this, Li Zhen controlled her eyes from looking at Li Chong, because he put forward this strategy.
But to his horror, Li Hong's eyes moved slowly from him to Li Chong at the end of his speech.
"And then?" Li Hong asked with a playful tone.
"Then you are lured to Yangzhou to help Li Jingye when you suppress Li Jingye's war Then he shifted the blame to Jiangdong and put the blame on Li Jingye
"Then, when his royal highness disappears, you will attack me again to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone. That is to say, Li Xian, the prince of Pei, has won the crown prince's throne for Li Xian, the rebellious Minister of Pei, and has established a reputation for Li Xian in the imperial court, his majesty and the queen. His highness is killed by Li Jingye, and you are trying to rescue the prince Your highness, if you are a little late, you can only bring Li Jingye, the rebellious minister, to justice, or I am afraid of sin and commit suicide, so that all the facts can be proved by death! " Li Jingye stood up, looked at Li Zhen, king of Yue, and Li Chong, the king of Langya, with a gloomy face.
"Yes, that's right. I think you already know this from King Cao. You asked me just to prove whether there is any other conflict between us, right? If you have any questions, I'll let you know. " Li Zhen sighed, the hero said lonely."No, I just want to confirm how far my guess is from the fact. It seems that it is almost the same as my guess. Bring it up." Li Hong turned his head and called out.
Then, two simple black coffins were carried to the outside of the hall by several soldiers and placed in the sun soundlessly.
"Is this The king of Yue looked at the coffins, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't know whether it was for himself, or that the two coffins had already been owned?
"One is uncle Cao and the other is Wei Siwen. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look." Li Hong sat still in the hall.
Just as soon as the words fell, whether Li Zhen, king of Yue, Li Chong, king of Langya, or Li Jingye, they rushed out and rushed to the two coffins.
In the open window of the hall, with a sound of flapping wings, from far to near, a huge bird, with wings larger than that window, slowly flew over. When it was close to the window, the wings on both sides began to be recovered.
Finally, haidongqing is alert to a pair of ruthless eyes and stands at the windowsill, twisting his neck, looking for Li Hong.
He took out the paper and looked at it. The smile on Li Hong's face was more and more prosperous, and his look was more relaxed.
Haidongqing looks at the smile on Li Hong's face. Goodbye, after Li Hong patted his left shoulder, he felt his wings and jumped onto Li Hong's shoulder. He looks at several people outside the hall excitedly.
Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and the king of Langya walked quickly to a coffin. They reached out and pushed the coffin. They found that the coffin had not been nailed to death. So they pushed the coffin board to one side. When they looked down, they saw Wei Siwen lying in the coffin. When their eyes glanced over their necks, they felt that their feet were soft and almost fell to the ground at the same time.
After all, the king of Langya was a little younger. After looking at Wei Siwen, who was very calm, he turned his head and saw Li Jingjing looking at him. So they changed places silently.
"Li Ming!" Li Zhen, the king of Yue, looked at Li Ming, who was lying in the coffin quietly with her eyes closed. Suddenly, a sadness of rabbit death rose in her heart.
Looking at Li Ming, king of Cao, lying in the coffin, the simple suture wound on his neck shows that Li Hong cut off his head and sew it up again and put it into the coffin.
Li Zhen and Li Chong live on both sides of the house. They have no time to think about these details. They reach into the coffin and want to take Li Ming out of the coffin and give him a better coffin that matches his identity.
As the body of King Cao Li Ming was slowly lifted out of the coffin, Li Hong's faint voice rang out after Li Chong was about to carry out with one hand on his head and one hand on his shoulder: "Li Jingye, here you are. Let's have a look at this. Let's talk about revenge for Wei Siwen."
A piece of paper was thrown by Li Hong to Li Jingye, who was looking at Wei Siwen's coffin. When Li Chong heard Li Hong's words, he was suddenly distracted. The hand holding King Cao's head unconsciously loosened. Suddenly, Cao Wang's skull, which had only a layer of skin, seemed to be broken at once, and completely drooped down, even shaking there.
"In Yangzhou City, there were few killers (coffin shops) in the early days of Yangzhou city. So we had to first aggrieve uncle Cao Wang. When I arrived, Wei Chao had already beheaded him. As you know, Wei Chao's father committed a crime for uncle Cao in Prince Cao's mansion. After he was exiled to Puzhou, King Cao did not take care of others, so That's it. " Li Hong slowly came out of the hall and looked at them.
Li Zhen and Li Chong turn back at the same time. They see a huge bird standing on Li Hong's shoulder. A pair of cold eyes are staring at him. The white and rotting skin is at the suture between Cao Wang's broken head and neck.
"Put it back. I've sent Bai chun to buy it. If you two carry his body like this again, I can't guarantee that the flat haired beast on my shoulder will not be moved by the skin of Uncle Cao's neck." Li Hong stood two steps forward again, lowered his head and said.
As if in line with Li Hong's words, haidongqing's cold and merciless eyes have never left the white neck. Just after Li Hong's voice fell behind, he seemed to be impatient to step on Li Hong's shoulder, eager to try rotten meat.
King Li Zhen of Yue and King Langya looked at each other and looked at the drooping head of King Cao. It was only good to listen to Li Hong and put the body of King Cao back into the coffin again.
