Chapter 3 Husband and wife snuggle with each other
Li Zhiyun thought over and over again about such a dangerous matter and decided not to hide it from his mother and wife. Although he was well prepared, he was 100% sure that he was not. Any slightest surprise might lead to changes in the final matter.
In other words, this time he will fight tooth and nail with the determination to survive.
More importantly, Prince!
"Haven't you ever thought about it? The prince has murderous intentions for this king, and he also has murderous intentions for King Qi. Since King Qi will send dead soldiers to attack the East Palace, Prince Qin's Mansion, and Prince Chu's Mansion, then will the prince send dead men to attack Prince Qi's Mansion?
The Prince of Chu's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion will never have any future troubles?
In the important area of Gyeonggi, it is impossible for us to dispatch a large number of troops and horses to protect the palace in a short period of time. In particular, we may face simultaneous attacks from the East Palace and Qi Palace.
For tens of thousands of years, I and the princes have been fighting with the intention of death. How can we leave more manpower to guard the palace?
My family will go to the palace and be protected by the guards, so they can save their lives in a short time, what do you think?"
The three of them thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "You don't have to worry. King Huaiyang and King Rencheng are my servants. Before setting off, I will ask them to protect the palace."
Du Ruhui said: "The King of Huaiyang is the general who leads the army on the right. It is appropriate for him to protect the palace. Your Highness has thought carefully and I have no objections."
After discussing the funeral, Xue said: "The king of Qi has 20,000 troops and 3,000 dead soldiers. I have inquired about their specific situation. The only thing to worry about now is the hidden troops in the East Palace. Among the six leaders in the East Palace
, the left and right prison gates will lead the mansion, and the left and right inner gates will lead the mansion. They will not be in charge of the army. They will be under the direct control of the prince. The number of soldiers and horses should be no less than two thousand."
In the early Tang Dynasty, the Sixth Command of the East Palace had jurisdiction over three to five Zhechong mansions, with an upper limit of 1,200 people and a lower limit of 800 people in each mansion. This system was equivalent to each Zhechong mansion under the jurisdiction of the Sixteenth Guards.
Du Ruhui said: "These are the troops and horses that the prince displays openly. It cannot be the troops and horses that he hides."
"Do you think the prince will be like the King of Qi and let his troops and horses hide in advance to ambush around the tomb of the King of Qin?" Xue Fang asked.
Because of Xue Deyin's existence, King Qi's military arrangements were useless in their eyes.
Wei Zheng shook his head, "Impossible. According to the results of your investigation, King Qi doesn't know where the soldiers and horses hidden in the East Palace are. The tomb of King Qin is only so big. It already hides 20,000 King Qi's troops. How can it hide more
Where are the soldiers and horses?"
He didn't know that Xue Deyin was an undercover agent. Li Zhiyun's internal statements about all the news about Prince Qi's Mansion were obtained through careful investigation.
Li Zhiyun pondered for a while and said: "We seem to have forgotten something. The prince has been confined in the East Palace, and his power in the army is weak, and he is closely watched by the king. So where do his troops come from?
?”
At this critical moment, naturally no one would say nonsense like the prince was deceiving King Qi.
Du Ruhui had an idea and said: "What your Highness means is that the Prince's troops are not necessarily outside."
Li Zhiyun nodded solemnly, "According to King Qi, the prince seems to be very confident that he can send the hidden troops to ten thousand years, and the saint has always forbidden the prince to contact the army. When he conquered the capital of Liang and supported Shuozhou,
The prince has come into contact with soldiers and horses, but after returning to the capital, I have already dismantled all these soldiers and horses. Therefore, if the prince has hidden soldiers and horses, they must not be outside."
Xue Shou thought for a while, then his expression changed, "Sixteenth Guards!"
"That's right." Li Zhiyun slowly exhaled, "If the prince wants to send his soldiers and horses to ten thousand years without anyone noticing, he can only achieve it by burying a secret in the Sixteenth Guard."
Du Ruhui analyzed: "When the saint travels, according to the rules, the left and right Jinwu guards patrol and guard, the left and right Wei guards are in charge of the palace guards. The left and right guards accompany the guards. Could it be said that the prince's hidden troops are among them?"
"It is entirely possible." Wei Zheng said: "Otherwise, how can we explain the prince's hiding of his troops and horses?"
As a strategic general, Li Zhiyun was in charge of the troops of the Tang Dynasty. He knew the specific situation of the Sixteenth Guards best, and he also knew the troops stationed in various places in the capital. Judging from the current situation, if the prince had
The hidden troops and horses must undoubtedly be among the Sixteen Guards.
According to the saint's travel system, these soldiers and horses are likely to be among the left and right Jinwu guards and the left and right Wei guards. Because the left and right guards are his own generals, it is naturally impossible to hide them under his command.
"General Zuo Jinwuwei is the King of Rencheng, which can be ruled out. General Right Jinwuwei is Dou Cong, General Zuo Weiwei is Shi Wanbao, and General Right Weiwei is Sheng Yanshi. After excluding King Rencheng, the other three
Everyone is suspect."
Shi Wanbao and Sheng Yanshi had made a lot of achievements following the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars in the past few years. In addition, they were also among the older batch of heroes who followed Li Yuan in the army, so they were recalled to the capital and served as the chief minister of the Wei Mansion.
General.
Li Zhiyun's voice fell, and Du Ruhui said: "Dou Cong is the most suspicious. The Dou family has been leaning towards the prince. If Dou Cong and the prince collude, it is entirely possible."
Xue Shou thought: "Master Sheng Yan and Shi Wanbao have remained unknown since they returned to the capital. It is not impossible that they were secretly attracted by the prince."
Li Zhiyun took a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "The three of them are not trustworthy. There is no need to worry about who is the prince's man. Among the sixteen guards, after my previous integration, most of their lieutenants are my king's people. Regardless of whether they are
If anyone who is the crown prince makes any move at that time, he will be killed directly!"
Instead of guessing, it is better to list all three of them as suspects, and whoever touches them will die!
Du Ruhui said: "That's good, it will avoid any accidents. In addition, there may be dead soldiers hiding in the East Palace, so we must be on guard."
Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry, it is difficult for dead soldiers to mix in when a saint travels. The East Palace may have the same plan as the Qi Palace, and is preparing to use dead soldiers to attack us in Chang'an."
Xue Shou thought for a while and said: "Looking at it from this point of view, the Prince of Qin's Palace will not be spared this time."
The East Palace, Prince Qi's Mansion, and Prince Chu's Mansion are all prepared, but Prince Qin's Mansion knows nothing. When the dead men of the East Palace and the dead men of King Qi attack the unprepared Prince Qin's Mansion at the same time, one can imagine the outcome.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's eyes flashed in front of his second sister-in-law's pretty and compassionate appearance.
"Second brother's family is my king's family, and I..."
"No!" Before Li Zhiyun could finish speaking, Du Ruhui and three others interrupted at the same time.
Li Zhiyun looked at them in astonishment.
Only then did Du Ruhui and others realize their gaffe. They looked at each other, and for a moment no one could explain.
Li Zhiyun had some guesses in his mind, but still asked: "Why not?"
"Your Highness, if the people from Prince Qin's Palace are transferred in advance, it will alert the East Palace and Prince Qi's Palace, and the gains outweigh the losses!" Xue Shouyan said insincerely.
Li Zhiyun was slightly amused, "This is not the reason for your refusal."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Qin's Mansion is a future trouble. Since the Crown Prince and Prince Qi are on guard, why should Your Highness bother to save it."
"Keming, you don't match your words with your words. This is not what you mean." Li Zhiyun said.
My Highness, what kind of trouble are you trying to make!
The heirs of King Qin are inherently unstable, and now someone is helping to get rid of them. This is a great thing!
Du Ruhui really wants to ask His Highness: Have you forgotten whose hands King Qin died at?
Although everyone now suspects that the Crown Prince did it, in the future when the Crown Prince and King Qi die and King Chu ascends the throne, interested people will start to speculate again.
If Prince Qin’s heir is killed by the soldiers of the East Palace or the soldiers of King Qi, wouldn’t it be a matter of course that everything will be over?
