Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

When Guo Ye stopped in his tracks, Hou Junji came to him and muttered softly: "Mr. Guo, the crown prince and King Lu asked someone to pass on a message that we will meet at the Palace of King Lu for a secret discussion tonight at three o'clock in the unitary hour. Let's go first." .”

After Hou Junji finished muttering these words in Guo Ye's ear, he hurried away as if nothing had happened.

Guo Ye paused for a moment, and hummed in his heart, these people are really impatient, and they can't hold their breath at all, well, I guess I'm going to act with them again tonight.

Chapter 1015 Small conflicts in acting

Late at night, Prince Lu's Mansion.

This is the second time that Guo Ye has been invited to Lu Wang's mansion, but this time the place is not in the stone pavilion in the garden last time, but in the study of Lu Wang Li Yuanqing.

Although the study is small, it excels in concealment and confidentiality.

In addition to Guo Ye, Lu Wang Li Yuanqing, Dao Xiao Wang Li Yuanfang, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Lu Guogong Hou Junji and others all came together, and the small study room was packed to the brim.

The King of Lu did not summon Li Yuanxiang, the King of Jing, who was always hot-tempered and brave. He was too aware of his younger brother's temper and temperament, and this occasion was not suitable for him at all.Of course, this was also specifically ordered by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

After everyone gathered in the study room, Lu Wangping retreated all the servants outside the study room, and only arranged a few sporadic confidant palace guards to guard outside the study room as a warning.

In the study room, Li Chengqian, who is the prince, sat in the middle, King Lu and King Daoxiao sat in the top seats on the left and right, while Hou Junji and Guo Ye sat on the left and right below the two princes.

Now that everyone has arrived, Li Chengqian, the prince, will naturally speak up.

Just when he was about to open his mouth with excitement, Li Yuanfang, the filial king, suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, Your Royal Highness, before discussing important matters, I have a few words to ask Duke Guo."

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, and felt a little disgusted at Li Yuanfang's rashness, but he still nodded and stretched out his hand to signal: "Uncle Daoxiao, please go ahead."

When Li Yuanfang looked at Guo Ye, Guo Ye found that the other party had a serious face, his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, judging by his posture, he was not a good person.Could it be that Li Yuanfang saw some clues?

"Mr. Guo!"

Li Yuanfang asked directly: "Yesterday afternoon, Kong Yingda and Li Jing came to your residence to meet with you. Is there such a thing?"

When Guo Ye heard it, he immediately thought of those who were watching at his door, and then he nodded and admitted without hesitation: "That's right, Li Weigong and Kong Shangshu looked for me yesterday."

Li Yuanfang sneered when he heard the words, and continued to be aggressive: "What are they looking for you for? Has Mr. Guo disclosed to them our cooperation? Could it be that Mr. Guo is not sincerely cooperating with us? Or, what else is Mr. Guo hiding from us?" ?”

With four questions in one breath, Li Yuanfang clattered and asked, without giving Guo Ye any room for consideration.

However, this didn't bother Guo Ye. Guo Ye looked at Li Yuanfang with contempt, and pretended to be angry and scolded: "King Dao Xiao, you actually sent someone to watch me? Can we do things with some embarrassment?"

Faced with Guo Ye's ridicule, Li Yuanfang was not angry, but instead sneered and said, "Surveillance or not, it's a matter of opinion. If Guo Jungong has no ghosts in his heart, then why are you afraid of me sending someone to watch?"

"Haha, you're still confident after doing something wrong."

Guo Ye laughed angrily, and said, "Okay, since you want to know, I'll answer you. Yes, yesterday afternoon, Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, and Kong Yingda, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came to my house together to look for me. represents what?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian's face froze, while King Lu and Hou Junji looked at Guo Ye with wary faces. Obviously, like Li Yuanfang, they knew about this matter early on.

Guo Ye took the expressions of the people present into his eyes, and continued to think about himself: "Manchurian and military, in the city of Chang'an, who doesn't know that I, Guo Ye, belong to the Qingliu School of Shilin, why is it strange that Kong Yingda came to my house to look for me? As for the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, we have a very close personal relationship, so what if he comes to me? How can I keep the two of them out, saying that I am going to be an unfaithful person, plotting against you and preparing to change the world? ? Dao Xiao Wang, Li Yuanfang, thanks to your reputation for resourcefulness, why are you pretending to be so muddled?"

"you……"

After Guo Yeyi's blunt but reasonable explanation, Li Yuanfang felt a little uneasy, and asked with little confidence: "It's that simple? You didn't say anything you shouldn't say to them?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Do you think I'm as brainless as you? You asked me just now if I sincerely cooperate with you, right? Well, I'll tell you now——

I'm not fucking willing, a hundred out of a thousand! "

"what?"

"Guo Ye, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Guo, what do you mean by that?"

For a while, several people present couldn't sit still, they all stood up and surrounded Guo Ye cautiously.

Even Li Yuanfang was about to throw a cup as a warning and summon the guards outside the study.

At this critical juncture, when Guo Ye stepped forward and approached Li Yuanfang, the conversation turned and he cursed fiercely: "If the Supreme Emperor hadn't detained my brother and threatened me with our brother, what do you think? Will I share your muddy waters? If I had a choice, I would kill myself for such a rebellious and unscrupulous thing. I will tell the truth today. After this matter is over, you will release my brother, my Guo I will disarm and return to the fields and stay away from Chang'an. From now on, you will never have anything to do with each other. From now on, you will follow your sunny path, and I will take my single-plank bridge. Well, King Daoxiao, if you have any questions, please let me know. And ask. Save you from being suspicious all day long, and doing ghost tricks to spy on me all day long."

Guo Ye's words were full of anger and resentment, and several people present looked at me and I looked at you, each with their own thoughts.

And Li Yuanfang also bowed his head and fell silent, thinking about what Guo Ye said, yes, he was forced to be coerced by his father, otherwise, how could he easily submit to such a big event of beheading? ?

At this time, Li Chengqian's thoughts were different from Li Yuanfang's. He didn't want Guo Ye to disarm and return to the farmland to stay away from Chang'an after his success.

If Guo Ye is gone, he really doesn't know who to count on, maybe he will really be the puppet prince and puppet emperor for the rest of his life.

Immediately, he hurriedly waved his hands and persuaded: "Okay, it's all a misunderstanding, it's obviously a misunderstanding. Uncle Daoxiao Wang, this is your fault, you are so good, why did you send someone to monitor Guo Jungong?" What? I don’t need to be suspicious, and I believe that Guo Ye is sincerely cooperating with us. Otherwise, grandfather would not value him so much.”

As he said that, he personally stepped forward and pulled Guo Ye away from Li Yuanfang, please return to his seat, then quickly changed the subject, and asked Lu Wang Li Yuanqing: "Lu Wang, I announced to my father and emperor this morning that the next year will be Then I will choose to go to Jiangnan, for us, this is a great opportunity."

When Li Chengqian said this, Hou Junji quickly echoed, "What His Royal Highness said is very true. Although King Lu and King Daoxiao did not attend the early court, they should have heard about it, right?"

King Lu glanced at King Dao Xiao, and happened to meet Li Yuanfang's eyes slightly.King Lu shook his head slightly and blinked his eyes, as if reminding Li Yuanfang that Guo Ye's matter should be over here.

Afterwards, King Lu and Li Yuanfang returned to their seats.

King Lu nodded and said: "Yes, this is also the reason why everyone was called to gather in the mansion of the king today. Of course, this is also the meaning of the father. Although he is in the palace, he is planning strategies and knowing the world's affairs. His old man said , Li Shimin left Chang'an and went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the prince supervised the country to temporarily handle the government affairs, which is definitely an opportunity for us. Once Li Shimin leaves Chang'an and arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, we can make trouble."

"Okay!"

Hou Junji clapped his hands excitedly and praised, "The day is finally here!"

"Cough, cough, cough, calm down, everyone."

Li Yuanfang spoke again, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "It's gratifying that Li Shimin decided to go to Jiangnan when we were preparing to make trouble this time, but I still have to talk about the specific action plan again. The greater the probability of success, the better we will go." Be careful every step of the way, next, I will briefly talk about our plan this time, what is wrong or wrong, everyone can work together to testify."

Hou Junji still couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I would like to hear the details, please tell me, King Daoxiao!"

Li Chengqian also urged: "Uncle Dao Xiao Wang, hurry up and talk!"

King Lu glanced at Guo Ye, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Guo, the misunderstanding just now has passed, so you don't have to bear any grudges in your heart."

Guo Ye sneered secretly, a bunch of lifeless things, you just die!

Afterwards, he still bowed his hands to Li Yuanfang with an expression of displeasure, and said in a low voice: "Since I, Guo Ye, have agreed, even if I don't like your villainous face, King Daoxiao, I won't disregard my brother's life and death. Code. Daoxiao King, please tell me..."

Chapter 1016 New plan

"According to the original plan, the three of us wanted to launch a coup in Chang'an. The [-] Jinwu guards who guarded Chang'an outside the city would swing into the city. The palace immediately cleared up the situation with lightning speed and took advantage of the chaos to kill Li Shimin."

Li Yuanfang's face was calm, and he said the original plan slightly without any ups and downs in his mood: "At that time, the Supreme Emperor will stand up and announce that Li Shimin got malaria at night, and the dragon controls the sky. Then he will use the excuse of 'a country cannot live without a king'" , calling on the ministers to support His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the throne."

King Lu added in time: "His Royal Highness is not only Li Shimin's direct heir, but also Li Shimin's crown prince, and with the approval and support of the Supreme Emperor, then his succession to the throne is justified and legal, and no one can say for sure. Not a word. Immediately afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will, as the new king, send an imperial decree to the ten and hundreds of prefectures of the Tang Dynasty to amnesty the world. Within half a year, the whole world of the Tang Dynasty will definitely return."

"Well, the plan didn't change quickly."
