Li Junxian's face was gloomy. He never calculated that Hou Jun would gather to do this.
However, the Hou Junji in front of him had a higher official rank than him. Without the emperor's intervention, this guy would not listen to him.
After thinking about it, Li Junxian had to say: "The imperial doctor is treating His Majesty, and it is not appropriate for anyone to disturb him. Since General Hou cares about His Majesty's safety, General Hou will be stationed outside the Lishan Palace, but he must not get close to the Lishan Palace.
.”
Hou Junji waved his hands with an unhappy look on his face: "General Li, I don't need you to arrange what I will do. In addition to protecting His Majesty's safety, I am here to help His Majesty the Crown Prince check on His Majesty's condition. General Li, please go first."
Take someone to see His Majesty."
Unexpectedly, his retreat brought Hou Jun closer. Li Junxian had a sullen face and refused to retreat: "General Hou, the last general has already said that your majesty has issued an imperial order. Without your majesty's permission, no one can do anything."
See you, didn’t you hear me?”
Hou Junji said carelessly: "Your Majesty is bedridden, so you are giving random orders, right?"
Li Junxian's face changed, as if he was a little frightened, and he said sternly: "General Hou, your Majesty is in good health, how can you talk nonsense? As for whether I am giving orders randomly, I will make a decision when your Majesty's condition improves, someone is coming.
, if anyone dares to break into the Lishan Palace without permission, he will be killed without mercy!"
With that said, Li Junxian stepped on the snow on the ground and walked directly to Lishan Palace.
Zhang San and the other guards looked at each other, but they could only stand up and block the avenue entering the Lishan Palace.
Hou Junji felt angry and looked angrily at Li Junxian's retreating back, his expression gloomy and uncertain.
However, he did not get angry immediately, after all, it was still early before the agreed time.
The reason why I deliberately angered Li Junxian just now was because I wanted to test His Majesty Li Er's physical condition from his mouth.
Judging from Li Junxian's hysterical expression of wanting to deny it, His Majesty Li Er must have had a serious health problem as they suspected.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji waved his hand towards the left guards, and the soldiers neatly occupied all the traffic thoroughfares outside the palace.
It is undeniable that Hou Junji's military training methods are still very good. No wonder he became one of the top famous generals in Zhenguan Dynasty.
Looking at the mighty left guard soldiers, Hou Junji proudly stroked his short beard under his chin.
Now, as long as the time is right and chaos breaks out, he can take the opportunity to rise up.
As long as His Majesty Li Er is in our hands, whether he is dead or alive, we can naturally allow Prince Li Chengqian to ascend the throne.
As for Li Junxian, he went straight to the palace where His Majesty Li Er was.
After telling His Majesty Li Er the news of the arrival of Hou Junji and the left guard army, the palace became silent.
His Majesty Li Er did not expect that the Hou Jun Assembly would be involved in this incident, and he secretly wondered, could his son Li Chengqian also be involved?
Seeing His Majesty Li Er not speaking for a long time, Li Junxian asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon Hou Junji, or issue an imperial order to have him withdraw from Lishan territory? If the prince is also involved, then..."
Before he finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "No, let him stay. Since we have reached this point, of course we cannot give up halfway. I hope he will not disappoint me, otherwise..."
Having said this, His Majesty Li Er stopped, and Yingwu's face became extremely gloomy.
I just don’t know whether the “he” in Li Er’s mouth refers to Prince Li Chengqian or Hou Junji.
Li Junxian felt a chill down his back. It seemed that the emperor really had murderous intentions.
Seeing Li Junxian's nervous look, His Majesty Li Er smiled and asked: "Is that boy Yang Fan still in the beautiful palace? How many guards do they have there? Send a team over, but don't let them be frightened.
."
Li Junxian quickly replied: "Because there are not many imperial guards in Lishan, there are only some guards brought by Wannian County Duke at Princess Changle's palace, and no imperial guards are arranged."
"Moreover, our number is limited. If we divide it into a group, we may be short of manpower."
His Majesty Li Er frowned, a little puzzled: "Why don't you send more guards?"
Li Junxian replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty has declared to the outside world that he is bedridden. Without your personal orders, it would be impossible to mobilize many guards. General Cheng's Zuowu Guards were mobilized because of Your Majesty's eloquence.
No... I will secretly escort His Majesty out first."
That's what he said, but Li Junxian really knew the emperor's character very well.
It is simply impossible for this emperor to give up halfway.
But it was too dangerous, and Li Junxian couldn't help but persuade him.
His Majesty Li Er naturally knew Li Junxian's concerns, but the pride in his heart did not allow him to bow his head.
But he also knew very well that if Hou Junji really led troops to cause chaos, it might be uncontrollable.
But His Majesty Li Er is His Majesty Li Er, even if there is danger, so what?
Although he has been pampered in recent years and has lost the enthusiasm of charging into battle in the past, after all, Li Er has been fighting for many years, so how can Li Er give in easily?
Think back to when Hulao Pass led 3,000 cavalry to defeat Dou Jiande's 100,000-strong army, and that was how the Tang Dynasty became today.
Now of course Li Er cannot tolerate being intimidated by someone he personally promoted!
If he had no blood, then he, Li Er, would not be able to become the emperor of the ages.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er said: "Go and bring Li Zhi and the others here. I want to see what tricks those people can do!"
"No!" Li Junxian responded and slowly stepped back.
Soon, Yang Fan brought Chang Le, Gao Yang, Xiao Sizi and a group of guards to Li Er's palace.
On the way, Li Junxian only told Yang Fan about Hou Junji's arrival, but Yang Fan didn't know the reason why Li Er asked them to come.
As soon as he saw His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan ignored any etiquette and complained wildly:
"Your Majesty, you are worth a lot of money, so you can't take risks easily. If you are just a small person, your Majesty will naturally kill you with just a few hands."
"Hou Junji's attitude is unclear. If he really has different intentions, it would be too dangerous for you to stay here!"
In Yang Fan's view, His Majesty Li Er's move was too reckless. If there was an eventuality, wouldn't he be involved?
Besides, the Left Guards are equipped with pistols. Although the number is small, their lethality cannot be underestimated.
If Hou Junji really got involved and killed His Majesty Li Er with one shot, then the matter would be a big deal.
In response to Yang Fan's complaints, His Majesty Li Er was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "Are you afraid?"
Although he knew that his actions were inappropriate, it was still a bit satisfying to see Yang Fan's panicked expression.
Rolling his eyes, Yang Fan said angrily: "Wei Chen's life was picked up in the first place, so what is there to be afraid of? I'm just worried about His Majesty's health."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and nodded: "Since you are not afraid, then you can stay with me and don't go back to the beautiful palace!"
"Why?" Yang Fan was a little confused.
From Yang Fan's point of view, even though we can't have sex with Chang Le, Gao Yang and the others, it's still better than being with a grown man like you, right?
Seeing Yang Fan's somewhat disgusted expression, His Majesty Li Er really wanted to beat this guy up and said displeasedly:
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just listen to what I tell you to do. How can there be so many reasons?"
After speaking, His Majesty Li Er closed his eyes slightly and said no more words.
Yang Fan's heart suddenly jumped, and a crazy idea came to him uncontrollably.
Could it be that Hou Junji really dared to rebel?
Asking Chang Le and Gao Yang to come over, Li Er obviously wanted to protect them.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't calm down anymore!
Hou Junji really dares to commit rebellion in the Lishan Palace?
Historically, Hou Junji was beheaded because of his rebellion, but it seemed that it would take more than ten years.
Did his arrival change the course of history?
Isn’t this guy Li Er harmful to others?
Knowing that others may rebel, not quickly shaking them off, but still pretending to be cool, is simply a fool's errand.
Even if you die, don't hold us back!
Yang Fan was upset and weighed in his mind repeatedly. Li Er was not dead after all. Did Hou Junji really have the courage to rebel?
You must know that the Lishan Palace not only has hundreds of horses, but also Cheng Yaojin's Zuo Wuwei. Is Hou Junji really sure of victory?
He actually dared to carry out such a heinous act under such tight protection. He obviously believed that His Majesty Li Er was terminally ill.
Yang Fan then thought that those monks who made alchemy contacted Li Yuanchang. That guy was from the royal family, and there must be a lot of forces following him.
If the two of them join forces...
Hey! Yang Fan suddenly took a breath of cold air.
If Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang and some like-minded people get together, the power will be considerable.
It seems like something big is really going to happen this time!
In the next two days, Yang Fan, Princess Changle and others stayed in Li Er's palace.
However, Yang Fan was not relaxed at all, but instead felt in a mess.
Since His Majesty Li Er has not shown up for about half a month, dozens of officials come to see him every day.
In the past two days, these officials seemed to have reached an agreement and almost all came together, crowding the entire road to the Lishan Palace.
Li Junxian, who maintained order, was extremely busy.
After all, these people are officials of the imperial court and cannot be beaten, so they can only bear the abuse from these people every day.
Words like "rebellious ministers and traitors" were also used to describe Li Junxian.
Seeing the momentum of these officials getting louder and louder, Yang Fan continued to feel nervous.
Don't think that these weak scholars have little power, but every change in society is initiated by these scholars.
Every social unrest seems to be caused by ordinary people being instigated to resist because they cannot survive, but in the final analysis it is organized by some educated and knowledgeable people.
This is because most of these officials have their own ideas and are not as easy to fool as the illiterate common people.
It is conceivable that once the development continues, these people will become a huge unstable factor!
Even though these people are unarmed, the prestige of these people is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
If there are some more people behind them who are making trouble with them, then the chaos will be out of control.
Just thinking about the people being incited to riot, Yang Fan is frightened!
The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er had no intention of stopping it, but instead allowed this situation to happen.
So Yang Fan came to see His Majesty Li Er again: "Your Majesty, there are already hundreds of officials gathered at the Lishan Palace now, and together with the common people they are inciting, there are thousands of people. If there is trouble, it will be troublesome."
But it’s serious, Your Majesty really won’t step in to stop it?”
From Yang Fan's point of view, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty Li Er wanting to find out the person behind the scenes, but it would be too unkind to involve ordinary people.
His Majesty Li Er was there and glanced at Yang Fan, as if he wanted to see Yang Fan's frightened look.
In order to show his superiority, Li Er snorted softly and said domineeringly: "I have been fighting for decades and climbed out of the sea of blood from the corpse mountain to sit in this position. Along the way, I have defeated all the rebel kings in the world. Now it is only a few
What does an official have to be afraid of?"
"Since these people have been encouraged to come here, they must be prepared to be attacked. These people think that the law does not punish everyone, so well, I will let them come and see how long they can dance. Now that the time is ripe, I'm afraid
They won’t come!”
What's more, in Li Er's view, only by continuing to endure can he know who the enemy is that will finally jump out.
These officials and people who came to the Lishan Palace were just poor people being taken advantage of.
If he goes out now, everyone knows that the emperor is still fine, and the people behind the scenes will definitely not dare to take action again. Wouldn't this plan be in vain?
His Majesty Li Er has a character that knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel in the mountains with tigers.
The purpose of using my body as bait this time is to lure out all those monsters and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Yang Fan was speechless.
Facing this self-confident emperor, he really wanted to ask, who gave you such confidence?
Did you know that just a small oversight can lead to unpredictable results?
God is not as good as man, who knows what will happen next moment?
The most important thing is that it is now equipped with some muskets, and these muskets are not very eye-catching.
Yang Fan really regrets bringing these thermal weapons onto the stage of history. They are really too dangerous!
The most important thing is that once something unexpected happens to His Majesty Li Er, we don’t know how many heads will fall to the ground.
If the new emperor ascends the throne and cannot suppress all forces, the powerful Tang Dynasty will fall into turmoil and even fall apart. This is definitely not what Yang Fan wants to see.
There could have been a safer approach, but Li Er was willing to take risks because of his arrogance, which was really not worth it.
Yang Fan disagreed with this radical approach.
In Yang Fan's view, nothing is as important as his own life.
If all lives are lost, what is the use of this calculation?
Seeing Yang Fan's gloomy face and saying nothing, thinking that he was frightened, His Majesty Li Er was very proud:
"Don't worry, as long as you stay close to me, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. Do you think Baiqi and Zuowuwei are just showing up?"
Although His Majesty Li Er made these words sound, Yang Fan didn't take it seriously. Nothing in this world is absolute.
But the emperor has said so, what else can Yang Fan do?
This is a feudal society where the monarch's power is supreme. The emperor always sticks to his word. Even if the emperor trusts him again, he cannot listen to Yang Fan in everything.
Knowing that the exhortation was fruitless, Yang Fan had no choice but to say nothing.
Walking out of the main hall of Li Erxing's palace, there were guards who took three steps, one person and five steps to one post.
These people were all holding muskets, and they looked like a storm was about to come.
Looking at the deadly weapons in the hands of these soldiers, Yang Fan felt a little hesitant.
These weapons were obviously used to conquer foreign races and to keep the Tang Dynasty at the top of the world. But now they are used against our own people, which is really uncomfortable.
The use of firearms was originally a good thing, but how did it end up like this?
Arriving outside the palace, Yang Fan felt heavy in his heart when he looked at the endless stream of officials in the distance and at the people blocked by the imperial army.
Once a riot actually breaks out, I don't know how many of these people will be able to get out of Lishan alive.
Seeing Hou Junji's groups of forbidden troops occupying various intersections and surrounding the entire Lishan Palace, Yang Fan became increasingly uneasy.
He waved his hand to Xi Junmai who was following him: "You and the two guards secretly sneak back to Chang'an City and tell Mrs. Wu the situation here. She will know what to do. Follow her arrangements and ask her to pay attention to Jun Yangyang.
and the safety of your home.”
"promise!"
As Xi Junmai left, Yang Fan became even more worried.
The mountain was originally blocked by heavy snow, and there was only one main road to get out. Now all the main roads out are occupied by Hou Junji. Once he rebels, it will be enough to cause a disaster.
Yang Fan has seen too many coups in some countries in later generations. Once the emperor is controlled, the consequences will be disastrous.
But now Yang Fan does not have the ability to control Hou Junji, nor can he replace his left guard soldiers with his own.
The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er will not allow him to do that.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan still refused to give up and wanted to try to persuade His Majesty Li Er again, so he turned back and went to His Majesty Li Er's room.
Seeing Yang Fan coming to persuade him again, His Majesty Li Er looked at Yang Fan displeased and said, "Didn't I say it? You just need to watch, no need to say anything."
Generally capable, but also stubborn and proud!
This is the confidence that His Majesty Li Er has in becoming an emperor, but overconfidence is often a person's most fatal flaw!
Yang Fan argued rationally: "Your Majesty, firearms are very powerful. If you are not careful, they may cause catastrophe."
"Besides, many officials and people are innocent, and they are being taken advantage of. As long as Your Majesty comes forward, these people will disperse automatically, and Your Majesty will not have to bear the risk!"
His Majesty Li Er glared at Yang Fan angrily and shouted: "I have already made up my mind. How can I change it easily? My patience is limited. Don't be arrogant and push yourself too far!"
Yang Fan stood up from his seat and bowed to dissuade him again: "Your Majesty holds the Qiankun in your hand. Since you already know that some people want to do evil to Your Majesty, you can just arrest them and interrogate them. Why bother to involve these officials and people? If the situation gets out of control, there will be a pile of corpses."
Like a mountain, the consequences are disastrous!"
His Majesty Li Er kicked Yang Fan over and said angrily: "Don't confuse the public with your evil words. As long as I am here, I can control the situation!"
Yang Fan was about to argue again, but suddenly he heard someone outside the palace asking for instructions: "Your Majesty, the officials and people who came to see you threatened that if they cannot see your Majesty, they will not come down the mountain. What should we do?"
The voice was rough and deep, it was Li Junxian.
His Majesty Li Er ignored Yang Fan and said to Li Junxian: "It seems they can't bear it anymore. You should pay close attention!"
promise!
As Li Junxian's footsteps faded away, Yang Fan could only walk out with a heavy heart.
When he came outside, Yang Fan looked up at the sky. The sky was a little gloomy at this time, and it looked like a storm was coming!
