Chapter 348 The dragon and snake come out of the mountain, and the wind and rain are coming

The emperor was in an emergency and was in a coma; the emperor's son-in-law was in chaos in the harem, and his life and death were uncertain; the prime minister Fang Xuanling also fell into a coma and lay on the side of the emperor's sickbed.

The court of the Tang Dynasty was in chaos.

Chang'an, it's messy.

Only Li Yuanchang was very excited to hear the news. However, it may not be really peaceful in his house.

This day, I was full of wine and food. I was about to call the twin sisters who were about to pass the door to bed, but the whole house couldn't find anyone. At the beginning, he didn't mean it. He thought that maybe they would go out of the house for a while, or go back to the Qinxian Pavilion for something. But when I woke up in the middle of the night, I still couldn't see anyone. At this time, the wine also woke up, and Li Yuanchang couldn't help but be alert.

So he ran to the secret room he cared most about and checked it. It was over!

Things are lost!

Immediately, Li Yuanchang's first reaction was to rush into the East Palace!

Prince Li Chengqian is still not sleeping. Seeing Li Yuanchang's heartbroken intrusion, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with your uncle?"

"It's not a big deal!" Li Yuanchang was out of breath and his hair was about to be scattered.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "You killed me this time!"

Li Yuanchang was stunned: "Does the prince already know?"

"Everyone in the city knows, can I not know?" Li Chengqian said with hatred, "Look at the good things you have done, it's so earth-shaking! It's enough to kill Qin Mubai with a knife. You have to be involved in the harem and arrange the two waitresses of the former emperor. Now it's good. My father is so angry that he can't afford to be seriously ill, and even Fang Xuanling fainted! Have you ever thought about how many people want to abolish my prince now? Can I still live for a few days without my father's suppression of the table and Fang Xuanling's support?!"

Li Yuanchang turned his eyes and didn't dare to say anything to his mouth.

Li Chengqian looked up and down at Li Yuanchang for a while and frowned: "You haven't said what's going on yet?"

Li Yuanchang opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Say it! What time is it?" Li Chengqian said angrily.

"That thing... is lost!" Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and burst out this sentence.

"What is it?" Li Chengqian didn't react for a moment.

Li Yuanchang slapped angrily: "The imperial edict!"

"Ah? Ah, ah, ah!" Li Chengqian suddenly had two heads and two big, staring at Li Yuanchang like a copper bell, and muttered, "When, where and how did you lose it?"

"I don't know..." Li Yuanchang turned white and shook his head blankly, "But I doubt..."

"What do you doubt! If you lose it, you will definitely not be found. It is obvious that someone deliberately stole it!" Li Chengqian shouted in pain and almost fell to the ground.

Li Yuanchang hurriedly held him down and poured tea for him.

Li Chengqian trembled all over and took the tea cup. He didn't take a sip. His eyes were straight and said, "What should I do? What to do? The last amulet is gone!"

"Prince, don't worry. Isn't this here to discuss countermeasures with you?" Li Yuanchang said.

"What else is there to discuss? If this thing falls into the hands of my father, I..." Li Chengqian rubbed a few times with his hands and said desperately, "Although I have never known why the decree of the late late emperor can have such a strong binding force on my father, but... it's better than nothing!"

Li Yuanchang frowned and meditated for a while, and snorted, "It must be those twin bitches!"

"You mean the Tai sisters?" Li Chengqian immediately shouted, "I have already said that something is wrong with the sisters!" They appeared in the air and came from the Qinxian Pavilion. Can they be clean? Maybe it's the person sent by Qin Mubai!"

"But...but Xiao Wang has been observing them for a long time, and they don't show any interest in Xiao Wang! On the contrary, he also prevaricates and blames Xiao Wang. How can he be Qin Mubai's person? Xiao Wang tried his best to put them in the house. I was about to enjoy it, but why did this happen?" Li Yuanchang said with remorse.

"This is called eagerness. You underestimate the surname Qin too much. He has touched your pulse and spleen and put the right medicine on you!" Li Chengqian patted his thigh and cried, "It's over, it's over!" From the beginning, you were tricked by the surname Qin. In this way, this is already a huge trap, just waiting for us to drill! What's going on now? The imperial edict was lost, and my father and Fang Xuanling fell ill together. Lao Si will definitely take action. Take this opportunity to kill me and seize the East Palace! In the early morning today, many ministers gathered together to discuss. During this period when my father was seriously ill, the country could not be without a king, and he wanted to recommend a prince. At least more than half of the people support Lao Si!"

"Prince, what are you panicking about! Your Majesty, if you don't waste you for a day, you will be the prince for a day! If you want to supervise the country, it's not his turn to be the King of Wei!" Li Yuanchang snorted coldly, "Now that the emperor and Fang Xuanling are seriously ill, and there is no master in the court. It is his opportunity for the king of Wei. Why is it not the opportunity for your prince?"

Li Chengqian was stunned: "What's the opportunity?"

"Take this opportunity to bring down the king of Wei and sit firmly in the East Palace!" Li Yuanchang whispered, "Fang Xuanling fell down, and the chief in charge of the court was Changsun Wuji. The emperor's side can't be spread inside or outside, only Chu Suiliang is close to the sick bed. Changsun Wuji is an old stubborn man, and it may not be easy to fight for. But no matter how you say it, you are also his own nephew, and he has always been at peace with Lao Si. In case of argument, I guess he is still mostly towards you. Now, as long as you fight for Chu Suiliang, you can achieve great things!"

"What's the big deal? How to make it?" Li Chengqian asked in shock.

"Don't worry." Li Yuanchang's eyes turned around and thought for a while and said, "It's better to do it first. Since I've even cleaned up such a tricky role as Qin Mubai, are you afraid of his fourth brother? Let's repeat the old tricks and give Lao Si a charge of taking the opportunity to plot a rebellion. Although there are many people who support Lao Si in the court, how many people dare to stand up for him in the face of such a big event? Changsun Wuji didn't like Lao Si, and he would definitely push the boat along the water. In the past, the emperor's eyes were there; now, the emperor is seriously ill, isn't it a good opportunity for us to get rid of Lao Si?

"You, are you here again?" Li Chengqian sifted up all over his body and pointed to Li Yuanchang and said, "Uncle Seven, in order to repay Qin Mubai, you have killed the second concubines of the former emperor and several eunuchs, which is all right. The royal sister Gao Yang has also been cut off in her life, and the Qin family has also been cut off. Now, the life and death of my father and Fang Xuanling are also unknown! You still have to do it! This chess is much more dangerous than against Qin Mubai. If it's not done well, my whole East Palace will be overthrown!"

"Prince, when is it? You are still thinking about the consequences?" Li Yuanchang grabbed Li Chengqian and shouted, "The imperial edict has been lost. It's hard to say who the bitch is instructed, and it's better to say who will eventually fall into the hands of the thing. In case we return to the emperor and we lose our restraint on him, he remembers all kinds of past, new hatred and old hatred together, can you stop it? It has long been known that your majesty wants to abolish the crown prince. The reason why I haven't done it for a long time is that it takes into account the old wishes of the late Empress Changsun, and secondly, it is because Fang Xuanling's hard persuasion and restraint. Third, isn't it because we have this imperial edict in our hands? Now, all three are going to be gone. Aren't you still a dead end?!"

Li Chengqian's face was like ashes. He looked at Li Yuanchang blankly and muttered, "I have always wanted to know what kind of imperial edict has such a restraining effect on his father? When and where did you get it?

"Well, what's the use of saying this now?"

"I just want to know."

"Okay..." Li Yuanchang sighed and said, "A few years ago, I lived in the harem of the imperial city to accompany the late emperor. One day, after getting drunk, the former emperor suddenly cried bitterly and talked about the Xuanwu Gate a few years ago..."

"Xuanwu Gate?"

"Everyone knows this person, so I don't need to repeat it." Li Yuanchang said, "In fact, before the Xuanwu Gate incident, the former emperor had already prepared an imperial edict and was ready to issue it. But before it could be promulgated, the Xuanwumen incident happened, and my father ascended the throne, and this imperial edict became empty words.

"It's already an empty word, and how can it be restrained?" Li Chengqian was confused.

"You are wrong. In our opinion, this is empty words; but in the eyes of the emperor, this is to tie him to a rebellious torture frame and whip him!" Li Yuanchang said, "When your father ascended the throne, the former emperor issued an edict to change your father as the crown prince. It didn't take long to issue an edict to give up the throne. In this way, your father barely ascended the throne. Over the years, the matter of Xuanwumen has been a forbidden place for the emperor, and no one dares to mention it in front of him. An important reason is not that his brother's blood is flowing there, but the hidden danger that his throne is not right. What is the most important thing about being an emperor? Of course, it is just right, so that people's hearts can be abound. Otherwise, no matter how wise he is, he will not escape the criticism of Qingshi Danshu and his descendants.

"It's like this..." Li Chengqian nodded blankly and said, "But... It's been so many years. Is it necessary for my father to care so much?"

Of course it is necessary. It's not only necessary, but you have to care!" Li Yuanchang said, "First of all, I, the Tang Dynasty, ruled the country with filial piety, and the emperor first set an example and treated the former emperor well. As soon as this imperial edict comes out, he will become a completely unfilial person. What else can he set an example? Don't you make people all over the world curse and whip? First of all, second, now, you and the king of Wei are fighting for the East Palace, and the emperor vaguely thinks of himself in those years. If he turns out the old account at this time, he is still an unscrupulous force to rebel against the throne and win the throne. How can he not be afraid of you sons to follow? At that time, it really wants to happen. What face does he have to accuse you? Isn't it because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the father and the son are effective? At that time, all sin will be pushed on his head; the third is also the most important. Now, the older the emperor is, the more he cares about the evaluation of him by the Qingshi Danshu and the wild history. He even interferes with Chu Suiliang, the historian who records his words and deeds, and the historian in the palace, especially the compilation of the history book of Xuanwumen. Tell me, if this edict is made public..."

"Ok, don't talk about me, I understand." Li Chengqian waved his hand repeatedly and nodded and said, "Is that imperial edict to condemn my father and support the uncle of the hidden prince of Qi?"

Li Yuanchang didn't say anything, but turned his back and said for a long time, "Don't ask again. The late emperor has gone, the imperial edict has been lost, and there is no evidence.

"Are you afraid of evil coming out of your mouth, or is there no such decree in the world? You made it up from the beginning?" Li Chengqian suddenly shouted hysterically.

"What's the use of just saying these bullshit now?" Li Yuanchang suddenly turned around and stared at Li Chengqian angrily, "Prince, can you not be so soft? You have been repeatedly forced to retreat step by step and even avoid it today. Are you ready to let Lao Si succeed? I remove Qin Mubai, half of it is for personal resentment, and the other half is not for you?"

"For me? You sound good!" Li Chengqian snorted coldly.

"Then listen!" Li Yuanchang said coldly, "After coming from Xiangzhou, isn't Qin Mubai disgusted and hates you? He didn't want to stand in your camp at all?"

"He didn't stand on the fourth side either!" Li Chengqian argued.

"At the court, it is either a friend or an enemy! An ambiguous attitude like Qin Mubai is even more dangerous! No one knows when he will suddenly stab you, and you will be done!" Li Yuanchang said, "Everyone knows that he and Li Ke are friends. Although Li Ke is now in Goguryeo, as long as Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang successfully get married and return to Lanzhou to support half of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely become a military chief with Li. Li Xi is a tactful and old-fashioned man, and he has never expressed his attitude to support which prince. However, Qin Mubai and Li Xun have a personal relationship. Both of them are military leaders and come from the door of self-defense Gong Li Yaoshi. Can they not form a group firmly? At that time, Qin Mubai's attitude will inevitably affect Li Xun's position. At that time, my highness! Even if you sit firmly in the East Palace or even ascend the throne, can you control Qin Mubai and Li Xun? Even if you destroy Lao Si, the opponent of Congwen, can you deal with Li Ke, the king of Wu, who has made great achievements in both literature and martial arts?

Li Chengqian was instantly petrified and stunned like a wooden chicken.

"Your Highness, do you know why you have retreated to this point? It's just too weak and too short-sighted!" Li Yuanchang was unforgiving and bombarded, "Political game, there is no eternal opponent, no eternal enemy, only eternal interests!" As early as the beginning, I strongly suggested that you should try your best to tie Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling firmly by your side. You are at a bad date with your own uncle. If it hadn't been for Fang Xuanling's gratitude and loyalty to the late Empress Changsun, she would have left you. Later, I asked you to unite with the king of Wu to deal with the king of Wei, and unite with the weak to resist the strong. This is the way of war. Originally, Qin Mubai secretly helped you in the Jiangzhou case. Even if he didn't have a good impression on you, he was at least not malicious! But what about you? Xiangzhou and his party, your behavior is not frugal and arrogant, which makes Qin Mubai and Li Ke disappointed in you! Prince, prince, today, you still have the face to blame Xiao Wang for his inability to do things! Have you ever thought about your gains and losses?

"Hit!" Li Chengqian was ashamed and angry, and jumped his feet and scolded, "You will only play back and come up with some bad ideas. When did you come up with a really useful plan?" Among other things, you openly broke into Qin Mubai's house with the intention of cheating on his adoptive sister. As a result, you were caught by Qin Mubai and beaten into a pig's head. What do you say? If it weren't for this matter, how could Qin Mubai completely break up with you and my East Palace?!"

"Okay, we don't have to talk about the past. At this time, you can't rebel. You have to think of a complete plan first!" Li Yuanchang knew that he was wrong and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "In a word, it has happened. There are two things we have to do now. One is, one is to completely kill Qin Mubai; the other is to take the opportunity to pull down Lao Si and cook rice for raw rice, it's better for you to ascend the throne!"

"Ghost!" Li Chengqian said angrily, "My father is still alive and still sick. How can I ascend the throne?"

"In those years, didn't the former Emperor Wude live in the harem for several years? What's more, your majesty is seriously ill in bed and unconscious now? Li Yuanchang smiled coldly and said, "Your Highness, if you have half of your father's scheming and decisiveness, you won't be today. For big things, the heart should be cruel, the hands should be hot, and the action should be faster! Otherwise, it is you who suffer. Now, if you don't do it, Lao Si will do it; if you don't protect yourself, there are a lot of people who want to kill you. Whether it's dead or alive, you can choose by yourself, and I won't say more.

Li Chengqian sat down in a chair with his eyes straight.

"Why, why on earth, you have to force me like this... Uncle Seven, do I really have no choice?"

"Yes." Li Yuanchang gently picked the corners of his mouth. On his originally handsome face, a trace of evil that was close to the demon appeared. He whispered, "Kill me, lift my head to see your father, and push everything on my head. In this way, you may be able to survive for a few days. However, everyone knows that you and I have always been in the same spirit. Everything I do has your share. Now in order to protect yourself, you have killed and betrayed me first... This virtue alone is enough to make the world spit on you. At that time, not to mention the emperor, even the people of the world, I don't want to recognize you as a shallow and ungrateful prince again.

"You...you're also forcing me!!!" Li Chengqian covered his face with both hands and shouted loudly.

"Prince! If you don't do it for yourself, you will be killed by heaven and earth. I'm confessing to you, because I won't die!" Li Yuanchang suddenly shouted, "If you don't stop, you will suffer from the chaos!" Let's do it! No matter how strong Lao Si is, he is still a literati after all! How to harm him and commit a rebellion? Leave it to me! All you have to do is find a way to control Chu Suiliang and completely isolate the emperor from the outside world, so that we can act conveniently. At that time, as soon as the conspiracy of the king of Wei broke out, we would cut the chaos with a quick knife in the court and nailed the king of Wei on the grounds that the emperor fainted and could not take over. Then, you can be a well-known director of the country. Without the great enemy of Lao Si, Li Ke, who is far away in Goguryeo and without Qin Mubai's arm, what else can I worry about? In addition, Jin Wangzhi, who is only a few years old and has no opinion and is cowardly, is not a threat to you. Prince, if this happens, your East Palace will be as solid as an iron fight, and no one can shake it. At that time, even if the emperor is sober, he has no choice but to take painstakingly to make you, the prince, take over. Well, everything can be done!"

Li Chengqian closed his eyes and listened. After listening, there was no movement for a long time.

Li Yuanchang was not in a hurry, leaving him a room for thinking.

After a long time, Li Chengqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, licked his dry lips, and said hoarsely, "As you said, after defeating Lao Si and killing Qin Mubai, do you want me to force me to meditate like my father, and even kill your father?"

"Prince Renxiao Huaide, I'm sure he won't do such a thing."

"But you can definitely do it!" Li Chengqian jumped up violently, stared at Li Yuanchang angrily, and trembled all over.

"Your Highness, at this moment, what do you want to do so far-reaching? The scene in front of you is that if you don't save yourself, you will die. After that, how you kneel down and ask your father's forgiveness is all a word. I know that it is also a poisonous tiger that does not eat children, and your father will forgive you. Isn't it?" Li Yuanchang was not angry and persuaded patiently.

"Oh!--" Li Chengqian shouted and sighed several times, and sat down deregically, "I, do you have a choice?"

"Don't worry, the prince, everything will be handled by Xiao Wang. I hate that the eldest grandson is as timid as a mouse, and he actually avoids me at this time. The man who loves the house is even more hateful. He doesn't see people, people die, and doesn't see the corpse! But it doesn't matter. Xiao Wang has a lot of manpower and means! - The prince will take a break, and Xiao Wang will arrange it immediately!"

On the other side, Wei Wangfu.

Li Tai was surrounded by a group of people and had been discussing for a long time.

"Your Highness, at this moment, you have to stay in the palace and accompany the seriously ill emperor, and you can't leave. First, you can keep the name of benevolence and filial piety, and secondly, you can avoid giving people a handle. I'll wait to take care of the rest.

"Good." Li Tai nodded, "That's how it was agreed. Now, we must try our best to save Qin Mubai! If the prince and the king of Han want to harm him, we will save him. In fact, everyone knows that Qin Mubai must have been framed by the King of Han. Although the King of Han is bold, he can't do such a thing without the consent and support of the prince. Brother Fang..."

Fang's parents, the man's legacy, bowed his hand and answered softly: "Mr. Fang is here."

Li Tai patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said gratefully, "Thanks to you this time. If it hadn't been for you providing such important information, I would have kept the world in the dark. Oh, I didn't expect that your brother was so stubborn that he did such a thing with the King of Han, which made your father faint with anger. Such unworthy people should clean up the door and eliminate harm for the country. Don't worry, after it's done, you will only punish the house, and the rest will not ask. Xiao Wang, I want you to keep your house sound.

"King Xie Wei..." Fang Yuzhi bowed his hand and said with tears, "Unfortunately, this scum has come out! Originally, my father had tied him up and sacrificed him to the emperor, but he was released by my doting mother in private, which made my father angry and became seriously ill. At this time, what if this animal is harmed outside again? Therefore, Mr. Fang came to kill his relatives and reported this matter to the king of Wei. I hope that the king of Wei will uphold justice. On the one hand, he will help me clean up the door and protect the door, and on the other hand, he can also return the truth and Qin Mubai's innocence!"

"Brother Fang, don't worry. Xiao Wang has always been upright and fair, and he also admires your father, Qin Mubai and other figures. He will definitely be measured. Li Tai is a little proud of the spring breeze.

No wonder that even the eldest son of the Fang family came to him for help. As soon as the emperor fell, the court was already the king of Wei who was in charge. If you can take the opportunity to attract the house, save Qin Mubai and do a great favor to him, won't you be as stable as Mount Tai in the court, and enter the East Palace is just around the corner?!

This is really watching tiger fights and making a lot of profits!

"That's all for the time being." Li Tai stood up, and his fat body was particularly eye-catching among a group of people sitting. He said, "In the early morning tomorrow, I will avoid it. You jointly wrote to protect Qin Mubai and impeach the king of Han.

"Do you want to mention the prince?" Someone asked.

"No." Li Tai said decisively, "Don't mention the prince. If it is aimed at the prince at this time, everyone knows that I instigated you. If it comes to my father's ear, even if the prince is knocked down, I won't have a long life. However, as long as the king of Han is impeached and exposed, is the prince still far away? Therefore, my prince, who has always been unable to calm down, will definitely jump out and do something out of style. This is called want to be captured and startle the snake. In addition, the government of Chang'an County, Yushitai and Dali Temple must arrest the fugitive house as soon as possible, and see people and corpses!"

"Yes!" Everyone was ordered to promise.

Li Tai smiled, shook his wide robe sleeves and walked out: "You take a break with tea. Xiao Wang entered the palace by himself and did his filial piety before his father was sick."

"Congratulations to the King of Wei..."

In the Baiqi camp prison, Qin Mubai sat under the tree, with a small wooden table, a pot of wine and two dishes, and raised his glass and looked at the top of his head.

The wind blows and the leaves move, and the woman dances.

"It's cloudy, it's windy..." Qin Mubai's face, with an inexplicable smile, said to himself, "I've only heard spring thunder in the past few days. Is the first storm of this year finally coming down? The dragon and snake come out of the mountain, and the wind and rain are coming. It's interesting..."

A hundred horsemen nearby said, "General, how about moving to the house for a drink?"

"No." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "The beauty of this wine is to see more and less. No more drinks, I'm going to bed. When you wake up, the wind and clouds must change color, and the thunder will shake the world!"

Several hundred riders looked at Qin Mubai inexplicably, let him walk into the room, and really fell asleep with their heads covered.

"What is the change of wind and clouds and the vibration of the universe? Is he implying something, or is he full of unscrupulous words?

"Who knows! He is a mystery. Have you ever seen a repeat offender who has entered here and is still thinking about tasting wine and enjoying the scenery?

"It's quite mysterious... I don't understand."

"If you understand, you won't be here to watch the prison and serve the prisoners. The handsome chair that has been empty in the main room of the Baiqi Office will also let you sit on it.

"..."
