I really can't control myself

All Li Jinglong's plans went smoothly, but something unexpected happened today.

He wanted to ask Liu Wenxu to invite other ministers to discuss the city dedication after the morning court, but he did not expect to hear that the emperor was about to run away.

Li Jinglong never thought that such a situation would occur. Is the emperor planning to abandon the capital? This is too nonsense. What does his stupid nephew Li Qing think?

Because he didn't expect it at all, this incident caught him a little off guard.

Of course he didn't want the emperor to run away. If the emperor ran away, wouldn't his contribution to the dedication of the city be less? A capital with an emperor attached, or a capital without an emperor, which one do you think has more merit?

And he also knew what the emperor thought of him now, and he didn't want the emperor to really escape and ascend to heaven. Later, when the emperor knew that he had donated the city by the way, he would probably hate him more than Li Ying.

If the emperor really escapes, he may not even be able to sleep well in the future.

Of course, this matter was discussed with several ministers nearby, and it was unanimously approved immediately. Everyone knew that the emperor would retaliate, and if he ran away, there would be endless troubles, so he must stop the other party from running away.

However, when asked how to prevent this matter, a minister suddenly said: "Why not inform King Cheng of this matter first and let him make a decision?"

As he spoke, everyone looked directly at Li Jinglong, which made Li Jinglong feel dizzy. Obviously everyone wanted him to contact Li Ying. After all, he claimed to be the middleman and someone from Li Ying's side. But the problem is that he has no way to contact Li Ying. Now Li Ying doesn't even know that he is from his side.

"Asshole! With the current situation, how can you contact the prince at will? What if something happens to scare the snake?" Li Jinglong said quickly.

Seeing the obviously inquiring eyes of everyone, Li Jinglong was of course a little panicked, but he quickly thought of an explanation: "This matter is actually not a big deal, and it does not hinder our original plan."

"Oh? The general already has a solution?" asked a minister next to him.

"That's natural." Li Jinglong said confidently. He actually found a way, and the way was very simple, that is, procrastination.

Li Jinglong naturally knows where Li Ying's army is. The other party's troops were almost here, so he could at least hold off for a while and wait for the army to surround the capital. Naturally, the emperor would not be able to escape.

As for how to delay, he really has a way. Moreover, this method can not only delay Li Qing, but also make the other party so anxious that they have no time to take care of them. It can also make their next step smoother. It is simply a way to kill three birds with one stone.

In the final analysis, this method is very simple, that is, to directly announce the emperor's escape.

The emperor's escape was naturally carried out in secret. Of course, the only people who knew about it now were the ministers who attended the morning court. Moreover, the emperor didn't decide to run away on the spot. He didn't just say it and think about it later, he didn't agree to it on the spot at all.

This is also certain. Even if the emperor really wanted to run away, he would not be able to announce it on the spot. He would definitely make preparations first, and then suddenly run away after making a sudden announcement, which would only inform some people.

What Li Jinglong has to do now is to announce this matter. If all the dignitaries and ordinary people in the capital know about it, the entire capital will be in chaos immediately.

When the time comes, so many people are watching, if the emperor really starts to prepare, how can everyone stop talking. By then, the emperor would probably be overwhelmed trying to deal with this matter.

If the emperor is too busy to take care of himself, will he still have time to care about what they are preparing? I don’t have the energy to take care of it even if I want to.

More importantly, their next plan is to open the city gate. The city gate is now guarded by guards, and it is not easy to persuade them to defect.

The natural reason why Li Jinglong was worried about so many ministers was because of this, because these ministers were somewhat related. Although the emperor was always on the lookout for civil servants to have relations with military generals, the problem was that they were officials in the same dynasty, so it was irrelevant. Does it matter?

Everyone was just avoiding suspicion on the surface. If it really didn't matter, how did Li Jinglong bribe civil servants to speak to him?

Originally, Li Jinglong wanted to rely on the connections of this group of people to convince some people, and then they would also send some people here to control the city gate in a cooperative manner. After all, as long as one city gate is controlled, it can still be done, and Li Jinglong is somewhat confident.

But now, this matter has become easier to handle.

Because the emperor is running away. You said that if the emperor insisted on defending the city, the soldiers would naturally be inclined to obey the orders. But now that the emperor himself is about to run away, will these soldiers continue to work desperately?

So this undoubtedly made Li Jinglong's persuasion easier.

This matter was done as soon as it was said to be done, because it could not be delayed. Since the ministers had already discussed it, they started to act immediately. So immediately some people began to spread rumors in the capital, saying that the emperor was going to run away.

Normally no one would believe this kind of message, but this is not the case now. Everyone knows that King Cheng Li Ying's hundreds of thousands of troops have now come towards the capital, and it is coming soon. In this case, of course, the emperor may run away.

This is also an important matter related to the interests of all the people, so the rumors spread at an incredible speed. In less than a day, the entire capital, including officials, businessmen and people, knew that the emperor was running away. Someone who is serious and discerning has already made up his mind on this matter.

Li Qing was stunned when he heard this. He was still hesitating. Why did the people below decide this matter?

He knew this because a group of students from Taiyuan College started a riot. A group of students went directly to the palace and expressed their indignation, making the emperor promise not to run away.

This matter really made Li Qing explode. Whoever helped him decide, he didn't even say he wanted to run away. Besides, what does it have to do with these students whether I can run or not?

Although he does want to run away now, these people are holding him back, making him seem to be a sinner and a coward if he runs away. It seemed that running away was like voluntarily giving up the throne and not worthy of continuing to be emperor. This made Li Qing so sick that he didn't know how to speak.

And just when the capital was already in a commotion, Linton and his troops, who had no idea that the arrangements ahead had been made, had also appeared near the capital.
