The sudden attack of the Donglu people really caught the emperor by surprise.
He never dreamed that these Tatars would have the guts to take advantage of the fire.
Before this, the emperor had firmly believed that the game he had laid was absolutely perfect, almost so perfect that no one could detect the clues. However, unexpectedly, the Donglu people messed up the plot.
Speaking of this game, we have to start talking about it when Li Qiongbei returned.
At that time, the emperor was attacked at sea. For safety reasons, he accelerated his return to Beijing. However, to his surprise, due to the impact of the Qi Xiao case, Dagu Port was closed.
The waterway was impassable, so he had to land secretly from the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong, and then turned northward by land.
In this way, he passed by the former fiefdom of King Yan.
Since we are passing by, why not make some inquiries to see if the prince Li Liangqi holds any grudge against him.
This inquiry is not a big deal, he actually inquired about something happening!
The returning internal guard who was investigating told him with certainty that the prince had treacherous intentions and must be on guard against it.
real or fake?
It’s true!
According to a bribed domestic slave in the mansion, Li Liangqi is currently nervously recruiting troops, hoarding strength, and preparing for an opportunistic move in the near future.
So the emperor wrote this down in a small notebook.
After returning to Beijing, he immediately launched a series of erotic operations to resolve this issue.
He first deliberately released gossip about the construction of the mausoleum, and then, in a small area, used the method of "military leak" to release the huge inside story of his intention to increase the Imperial Forest Army.
In order to make the whole thing more realistic, he also asked the chief physician to announce that he was about to die.
The purpose of this operation was naturally a strong hint to Li Liangqi: If you want to succeed in the rebellion, you must rush in before the reinforcements are added, otherwise, you will lose a golden opportunity.
This so-called ‘machine’ is obvious.
The current court is at the time when the monarch is changing and the courtiers are changing. It is the most unstable and weak stage. It can be said that as long as he controls the only option of the prince, Li Liangqi can legitimately inherit the throne as a member of the Li family.
.If the little emperor has a firm foothold, it will be difficult to shake him.
Don't miss this opportunity!
In order to intensify Prince Li's anger to a greater extent, the emperor also deliberately left out Li Shizi's branch when rewarding the vassals, in order to make him lose face in front of other vassals.
Li Liangqi, who was brave but resourceful, was indeed fooled, and soon he led his troops to force him over. What is quite surprising is that he was lucky enough to win over people like Liang Yingzhong as his secretaries.
Due to the participation of these civil servants, Li Liangqi's insight has been greatly improved and he has become more cautious in dealing with things. After they arrived fifty miles south of the capital, they set up camp and quietly observed.
Nothing rash at all.
As a last resort, the emperor had to try to lure the snake out of its hole.
He first made a symbolic gesture of trusting Yin Jun, and then pretended that his condition suddenly worsened, and used this to lure them to attack with confidence.
Haha, as long as you enter my city, you can catch turtles in the jar!
Want to run?
There are no doors!
There are many benefits to annihilating the enemy in the imperial city. Not only can you wait for work in leisure, but you can also test Li Liangqi's rebellion. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Even if the clan members question him in the future, he will still have something to say.
In this way, the emperor successfully deceived everyone except Meng Lanshan with his extraordinary method of concealing the truth. Even the self-proclaimed wise Empress Su was tricked by him.
In order to clear the way for the prince, the father really worked hard.
The progress of things is basically under the control of the emperor.
And in the end, the fruit of victory was indeed picked in the manner of a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
But now, Cheng Yaojin - Donglu suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
Tell me, is this uncomfortable?
There is nothing you can do about it if you feel uncomfortable, you have to face what you have to face.
"Please report the military situation in detail!"
"yes!"
"According to the detailed investigation sent out, the Donglu people have good relations with the King of Yan. They not only cooperate closely in business and trade, but also exchange information. In view of their relationship, the crown prince Li Liangqi invited Donglu to
Khan joined the expedition, but the latter politely refused because he did not dare to move lightly. In fact, Donglu Khan said one thing with his mouth and did another behind his back. On the surface, he
Lurking and motionless, in fact, he secretly followed Li Liangqi's army and advanced quietly. His intention was naturally to wait until the rebels and our army were both in danger of losing, so as to reap the benefits of the fishermen. The Khan also had a beautiful name,
This is the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole stalking the cicada that Chinese people talk about so much.”
What?
After working for a long time, Donglu is the real oriole?
So, what happened to me?
After hesitating for a while, the emperor sighed, a look of disappointment appearing on his face.
This is not to say that the Donglu people are very smart, but that the Holy Emperor is a little careless.
As early as when Qi Yuzhi was fighting against Princess Chuan, he reported that the relationship between King Donglu and King Yan was so close that they could be called grasshoppers on the same line.
But later on, he forced the Tatar Khan to lower his head by using both soft and hard tactics, as well as kindness and power. At this point, the matter was considered to have come to an end.
In addition, since then, the Donglu people have always kept to themselves and have never been different. Over time, they have forgotten this matter. But who would have thought that their wolfish ambitions are still the same as before.
The emperor regretted very much. He had already noticed Li Liangqi's different intentions, so why not follow the clues and find out the position of Donglu Khan?
Too careless!
I remember back then, Qi Yu had repeatedly warned me that we must pay close attention to the movements of the Donglu people and never be careless, but as for myself, I just ignored him.
I really regret it!
Let him let the past go, the present is more important.
At present, our own forces are almost exhausted. What can we do to resist the Donglu people's cavalry?
This time, the emperor was really a little panicked.
However, he suppressed the panic in his heart and remained calm on the surface.
At this moment, Qi Yu also furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought: Donglu's ambitions are wolfish, and his desire to kill me is undying. This time, we must make sure that they never come back!
In the long run, we also plan to send troops to Korea and use sharp means to destroy their old nest.
After expressing his hatred, he looked at the emperor with hope: Your Majesty, do you have any backup plans this time?
Perhaps out of the consideration of stabilizing the morale of the army, the Holy Emperor suddenly laughed and said with a relaxed face: "It's just a Tatar, what are you afraid of? I can make them disappear with a snap of my finger!"
Um??
oh……
Probably because of the shocking act the emperor had just displayed, the ministers all showed expressions of conviction. They all agreed that the Holy Emperor must have other back-ups and everything was safe.
The emperor's words had a very obvious effect, and the morale of the army, which was about to weaken, was immediately stabilized.
Not to mention the ministers, even Qi Yu was stunned by his move. Likewise, he also chose to believe it unconditionally.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly called Yin Jun mysteriously and whispered to him.
