Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

After Li Yuanchang finished his orders, he looked at Li Chengqian:
"Your Highness, is this king's arrangement appropriate?"

"Ok!"

Li Chengqian couldn't think of any other way, but listened to Li Yuanchang's arrangement.

"I have no objection, then follow the arrangement of Uncle Seventh King!"

Li Yuanchang promised, saying:
"Your Highness, please order!"

"As for Hegan Chengji, what do you think should be done?"

Li Chengqian did not rush to order, but asked everyone.

"Find someone to kill him!"

Zhao Jie didn't think much, and answered the conversation first.

"Don't kill him!"

Li Yuanchang immediately objected.

"If you assassinate Hegan Chengji at this time, it is tantamount to admitting that what Hegan Chengji said is true."

"But keeping Hegan Chengji is not good for us."

Li Chengqian said worriedly.

"I'm afraid His Majesty has already set up a trap for us to jump into.

His Majesty has not taken any action against the prince so far, which shows that His Majesty is still skeptical of Hegan Chengji's words. "

Li Yuanchang analyzed.

"If we take action to kill Hegan Chengji's mouth, we will not call ourselves."

"What the King of Han said is absolutely true!"

Du He, Li Anyan, and He Lan Chushi agreed with Li Yuanchang.

After listening to Li Yuanchang's analysis, Li Chengqian also felt that it made sense.

Li Chengqian straightened his body, glanced at everyone, with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice:

"Helan Chushi, pass on the order of my palace, Hou Junji is responsible for seizing the military power and controlling the military department!"

"Promise!" Helan Chushi promised, "The lower official will convey His Highness's order to father-in-law!"

"Helan Chushi obeys!"

Li Chengqian continued to talk to Helan Chushi.

"The subordinate is here!"

Helan Chushi said solemnly.

"After His Majesty enters the Eastern Palace, you will lead the guards of the Eastern Palace to control His Majesty."

"promise!"

"Li Anyan!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Anyan.

"The subordinate is here!"

Li Anyan immediately stood up and handed over.

"You will assist Hou Junji to control the imperial city and guard the gate leading to the East Palace!"

"promise!"

"The king of Han obeys the order, and you lead the dead to capture Li Tai!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Yuanchang, his tone was not so harsh.

"promise!"

Li Yuanchang cupped his hands casually.

"Du He, Zhao Jie listen to the order!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He, then at Zhao Jie.

"The subordinate is here!"

Du He and Zhao Jie came out and clasped hands at the same time.

"The two of you are responsible for leading the dead men to guard the main entrance and exit of the palace, preventing the guards from the Southern Yamen from trying to rescue His Majesty!"

"promise!"

"Whether the great cause is successful or not depends on it!
I hope you will work together to create a great cause! "

Li Chengqian stood up, looking smug.

"promise!"

Everyone bowed and clasped their hands together.

……

Helan Chushi left the East Palace and rushed to Hou Junji's house.

Hou Junji was discussing with several confidants about Hegan Chengji.

"General, Hegan Chengji, who used to be the crown prince, now falls into His Majesty's hands, does it mean that the crown prince is in danger?"

A middle-aged civil servant said thoughtfully.

"It's possible."

Hou Junji said with an unusually serious expression.

"So it seems that we have to start the incident early? Otherwise, we will be dragged down by the prince."

A middle-aged general said.

"That's right!"

Hou Junji nodded slightly.

"We have to prepare."

At this time, Helan Chushi walked in.

Seeing Helan Chushi come in, Hou Junji did not let his confidant leave.

"Li Yuanchang asked us to go to the East Palace, what should we discuss?" Hou Junji asked first.

Helan Chushi did not respond, but glanced at the people present.

Seeing this, Hou Junji understood his worry, and said lightly:

"These are my own people, so speak up!"

"Father-in-law, the prince has already made a decision to start the incident in advance."

Helan Chushi said in a quiet voice, cautiously.

"Why?"

Hou Junji stared at Helan Chushi closely.

"Someone leaked the secret, and we must start an incident in advance."

Helan Chushi said without thinking.

"Someone leaked the secret? Hegan Chengji?"

Hou Junji asked.

"It is this man."

Helan Chushi nodded.

"It seems that the prince is aware of the danger."

Hou Junji's tone sank.

"Forget it, now that things are up to now, we can only follow ahead."

"The crown prince accepts the King of Han's suggestion to trick His Majesty into going to the East Palace, imitating the practice of the Xuanwumen Incident, and put His Majesty under house arrest."

Helan Chushi's voice became lower, appearing more cautious.

"At the same time, I must order my father-in-law to go to the Ministry of War to seize military power and control the imperial city."

"Ah."

Hou Junji nodded while thinking.

"This is indeed a good way!"

"but……"

Helan Chushi hesitated to speak.

"But what?"

Hou Junji was a little impatient.

"The prince listens to the king of Han in everything. It seems that the king of Han wants to control the prince to become the second Duke of Zhou."

Helan Chushi said thoughtfully.

"My son-in-law is worried that if the crown prince wins the throne, the King of Han will find an opportunity to get rid of us."

"Is Li Yuanchang the second Duke of Zhou? He is not qualified enough! After the uprising is successful, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will change his surname to Hou!"

Hou Junji said disdainfully.

"When the crown prince seizes the throne, Li Yuanchang will be the first to be chopped off by this general!"

"Yes! Datang's national surname will be changed to Hou!" Helan Chushi said with a flattering smile.

After a pause, he continued to ask:

"Father-in-law, what should we do? Do we cooperate with the prince?"

"Cooperate? Use! Since the crown prince wants to make trouble, we will use him."

"Ok!"

"You go back and tell the prince that I will cooperate with him in the incident."

"promise!"

"Also, ask the prince exactly when the incident occurred?"

"promise!"

After Helan Chushi left, Hou Junji said to his confidant:
"Everyone, the opportunity to achieve great things has come!
As long as we grasp this opportunity well, you can all become kings! "

There was excitement in his tone.

"We are willing to follow the general and achieve great things!"

All the people present stood up together, clasped their hands and said boldly.

"Hurry back to your respective posts and get ready!"

"promise!"

……

Three days have passed.

Hegan Chengji, who was imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, was safe and sound.

Wei Hao ordered Dongfang Ze, Lei Wu, Feng Shiyi and others to dress up as prisoners and lie in ambush in Dali Temple early on, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Why didn't Li Chengqian send anyone to assassinate Hegan Chengji?

Wei Hao thought to himself.

It seems that the prince and his henchmen have already realized that this is a trap?
but it does not matter.

The real purpose of my asking His Majesty to spread the news about Hegan Chengji is not to attract the assassins from the Eastern Palace, but to deliberately stimulate the Crown Prince and his henchmen to make them take action.

The crown prince and his followers knew that Hegan Chengji had fallen into His Majesty's hands and wanted to inform them, so they would definitely take action.

Assassinating Hegan Chengji, if they had brains, they would definitely not do it.

If He Gan Chengji is assassinated, it is tantamount to having no silver 300 taels here, which further proves that they want to rebel.

Regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, it is a bad thing for the prince.

Although the prince has no brains, there should still be wise people among his party members.

They knew that Hegan Chengji would tell the truth, and maybe there would be a dead end.

I just want them not to hold back, and want them to tear themselves apart with His Majesty ahead of time.
