The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 18: Yong Emperor Huiluan

The ancestor returned to Taizong to encourage him. Taizong invited him to visit the side, but the emperor did not allow him.

——”Yong Shi·The Book of Emperor Taizong”

At the end of June 16th, Princess Changle returned to the palace under the protection of the imperial army and the imperial guard. She was sitting in the bus, her beautiful face with a touch of worry, just now, Xiahou Yuanfeng Seeking through Lu’e, she originally wanted to refuse, but after another thought, Xiahou Yuanfeng used to have the intention of seeking phoenix, but since she refused, she has not come to entangle him. Now when I think of it, Xiahou Yuanfeng is better than the gentle and elegant Wei With more knowledge and interest, he was allowed to see him.

Xiahou Yuanfeng did not say anything special here, but said in a tactful way: “Recently, the minister has received news that some people want to try their best to promote the marriage between His Highness and Master Wei. In the past, His Majesty gave the marriage. Although His Highness refused, His Majesty always There was no withdrawal of the will, so some people wanted to force the princess to fulfill the marriage contract, because for more than a year, His Royal Highness and Yongwang Mansion have been very close. Although His Highness does not want to intervene in disputes, in the eyes of some people, His Highness still supports King Yong, so some people I want the princess to get married quickly. In this way, the position of the Wei family is neutral. The princess is a person who excels in morality and performance, and will never make her husband embarrassed. Those people also want to draw a salary from the bottom. Who doesn’t know that your Highness and Yong The royal family had a good relationship, and the emperor was very kind to the princess. They did not want the princess to affect the emperor’s perception. Moreover, the crown prince’s position is in precarious position at a time when they dare not to neglect, so the marriage of his highness is very important to them. , But they don’t dare to use it. I’m afraid they will use some methods. The princess must be careful. Although Master Wei has a good character, but he is obsessed with the princess, I’m afraid he will be used by others.”

Princess Changle looked out through the veiled curtains on the car windows. Chang’an Street was awe-inspiring. The forbidden army was densely packed with cars and horses. She couldn’t help feeling very sad, remembering that when Jianye was in crisis, she was The Spy of Yong’s Secret rescued the palace. It was also in the car to see the panicked crowds on the bustling streets of Germany. Now the atmosphere of rattling outside the car is actually no different from then.

On June 18th, Emperor Yong Emperor Li Yuan returned to Chang’an. This time Li Yuan was obviously in a bad mood. Even when the hundred officials were kneeling to welcome him, he was still green. Before he came back, he faced the driver. King Yong reluctantly praised a few words, then hurried back to the palace, and then immediately summoned Wei Guan, Li Zhi and Qin Qing into the palace. However, the accompanying Fuyuan generals Qin Yi, Wei Guogong Cheng Shu, and Qi Wang Li Xian were all ordered to return to the palace to rest.

In front of the three of them, Li Yuan broke the tea cup angrily and said: “You are really good at it. In just a few days, my Chang’an has become like this. Zheng Shizhong was assassinated, the East Market Incident, Chang’an The fire is on, okay, you say, what should I do with you.”

The three men hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. Wei Guancheng said with trepidation: “The minister was ordered to be in charge of government affairs. It was the minister neglecting his duty. Only when this happened, please your Majesty to repudiate the crime.” Qin Qing said with shame. There was a saintly grace and failed to maintain the tranquility of the imperial capital. Zheng Shizhong was assassinated first, and the East City fire broke out. If His Royal Highness King Yong had come to the East City to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that the situation would expand. Please, your Majesty, please remove the minister from office.” Li Zhi also apologized: “It’s all the children’s oversight. A few days ago, the children’s officials had received the military report of insecurities at the border, but they didn’t look at it. Now it has been found out that the North Han spy took the opportunity to cause chaos. He is the marshal of Tiance who was appointed by his father and the emperor.

Li Yuan looked at the three people scrambling to commit crimes, but he felt very tired. He fell on the dragon chair and thought, if you weren’t fighting for power, how could Chang’an be like an undefended market? Let enemy spies come and go. However, Li Yuan knew very well that this situation was caused by himself. He set up his eldest son as the prince. Although it was due to the system, he was not without selfish intentions. Li Zhi’s savvy and strong actions made him always feel jealous, so he always wanted to suppress him. With him, Li Yuan knew well that among his heirs, only this son could be born in the blue, but because of various circumstances, he still decided to support Li Ang. Could it be that I was wrong? Li Yuan remembered that after getting the urgent memorial in Huangling, he was angrily trying to kill, but he didn’t know who could be blamed.

Wei Guan is a civil official, and it is useless to blame. Although Qin Qing is deficient in his duties, but think about it, now Chang’an is not for him to be the master, besides, it is because Qin Qing is easier to use that he made him a forbidden army Commander? There is also Yong Wang Li Zhi, who can blame him. In the past few years, he has been in danger almost every day and had to hide his powers. When this incident happened, he had just come out of the palace, and if he hadn’t been disregarded Life and death can turn the tide, I’m afraid that this Chang’an is either a ruin or an abattoir, and it is almost assassinated. It should be commended, but if you praise him, then what will the prince do? Is it really necessary to abolish him? Even though Li Yuan thought of the prince Very disappointed, but still reluctant to depose the prince easily. He knew very well in his heart that writing such a thing in the history books would discredit himself, not to mention that there was still a high-sounding excuse, but how can the current crime of the prince be? Let outsiders know.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand wearily: “No matter, Wei Guan will be fined for one year. Qin Qingguan will be demoted to one level, and he will still be the leader temporarily, in the hope of guilt and meritorious service. You should be rewarded again for the work of pacifying the chaos, but now that you are unqualified, I will give you three thousand taels of gold.”

Li Zhi kowtows and said: “The sons and ministers thank the father for the rewards, but the sons and ministers are not short of gold and silver. In this Chang’an Incident, there are many innocent victims among the civilians. May the father use these rewards as relief, and the sons and ministers will feel the same. .”

Li Yuan took a deep look at Li Zhi, with joy and worry in his heart, and smiled: “Zhi’er, you really deserve the reputation of a virtuous king. Okay, I’m allowed. You are assassinated and frightened. You have to rest a lot when you go back.”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: “Father, judging from this incident and the border military report, I am afraid that the Northern Han Dynasty will be ready to move. If the father allows him, my son would like to inspect the border.”

Li Yuan’s eyes flashed, and said: “I will think about this matter again. You can go down and make some preparations.”

Li Zhi was overjoyed. Before coming, Jiang Zhe once said that if the emperor agrees immediately, then his highness may not have the opportunity to board the reserve in an open manner. Although it is said that the Dragon Abyss, the tiger roars in the mountains and the forest, free, but that It means that the emperor has no intention of appointing you as the prince, otherwise you will never be allowed to stay away from the center of government at this time. If that happens, the minister may only use force to seize the throne, which is definitely not what your highness and ministers expected . If the emperor insists on keeping you down, then there is a 50% chance that your majesty will be appointed as the crown prince, because there is still a 50% chance that the emperor has deep suspicion of you and will never want you to return to the army. But if the emperor hesitates, congratulations to your highness. The emperor has been disappointed with the prince. As long as your highness handles it properly, it is not difficult to obtain a reserve.

The point that Li Zhi admires Jiang Zhe most is that he can see through the minds of others at a glance, but does not include the people around him, such as Xiao Shunzi, such as Roulan. This is probably the end of what can be seen, but not seen. Tarzan’s truth. Li Zhi, who was full of joy but did not dare to make a statement, hurriedly returned to the house.

Li Zhi went back to the Yongwang Mansion and he was naturally full of joy. No one in Wei Guan dared to blame him when he returned to the mansion. Only Qin Qing was full of anxiety and wondered how his father would punish him. After thinking about it, I’d better go to Qin Yong first, let him accompany him to see his father, so that his father can punish him lightly. Thinking of this, Qin Qing, who had left the palace, did not go back to her husband’s house or visit his father, but went to Qin Yong’s house first. Although Qin Yong was adopted by Qin Yi in the mansion, Qin Yong moved out of Qin Mansion ten years ago. It is said that his mother was not used to the majesty of the General Mansion. Qin Qing often went there before getting married. Qin Yong’s family is actually not far apart. Mother Qin came from a poor background. Although she was a few years old, she was healthy and still liked to grow vegetables and chickens. Qin Yong hired several servants to take care of her mother. People are very comfortable. Qin Qing likes to eat the small dishes made by Qin’s mother. He always feels that it is better than the famous chef at home, but after he got married, he gradually moved away from this life.

Thinking about it, while riding the horse, it didn’t take long before Qin Qing arrived at Qin Yong’s residence. Jumping off the horse, he knocked **** the door, and a vigorous voice came from the door: “Come on, is your eldest brother back?” Qin Qing was taken aback. What happened? Did Brother Yong move? Before he could think about it clearly, the door was opened. A handsome boy of 16 or 17 years old poked his head out and was taken aback when he saw Qin Qing. He asked, “This official, who are you looking for?”

Qin Qing asked hesitantly: “Is Qin Yong there? I am his cousin.”

The boy’s eyes lit up and said, “Godniang always talks about generals, and you also say that you like her food the most.” After that, he turned his head and shouted, “Godniang, Ganniang, General Qin Qingqin is here. Up.”

From inside the door came a laughing voice: “What General Qin, he is also your cousin here, Hua’er, don’t let Qing’er come in yet.”

The young man laughed and opened the door. Qin Qing led the horse in confusedly, tied the horse to the big locust tree in the courtyard, and said to the smiling old woman standing on the steps: “Auntie , I haven’t visited you these days, how good is your old health?”

The old woman said: “Well, it’s your brother Yong, who is always too busy at home. Fortunately, Huaer is with me.”

Qin Qing asked suspiciously: “This little brother is your son?”

The old woman laughed and said: “He was named Liu Hua, originally from Jiangnan. He had no father and no mother since he was a child. He wandered outside. A few years ago, he worked with a big businessman for a few years, and he read some books. After gaining some insights, and then wandering to Chang’an, but unfortunately fell ill. Fortunately, your brother Yong found that he was ill on the side of the road one day, so he picked him back. I think this kid is smart and sensible, so he simply accepted this. Godson, he has no other benefits. He knows the pain and the heat. He is hardworking and hardworking. Now he is a clerk in a silk and satin shop and has been promoted to the foreman. Unlike your brother Yong, he knew that he was fighting in the barracks. Find me a daughter-in-law and let me hug my grandson.”

Qin Qing came to understand and looked at Liu Hua. He saw that this young man had clear eyebrows, eyebrows crooked like a moon, eyes bright like stars, and a smile at the corners of his mouth. Said: “Since I am auntie’s son, you should also call me the fourth brother. In our generation, Yong brother is the oldest. I am the fourth.”

Liu Hua obediently said: “Little brother presents to the fourth brother, did the fourth brother come to find the righteous brother? The general just now has called the righteous brother away.”

Qin Qing panicked, and asked: “Look at Brother Yong’s look, are you worried about my father’s punishment?”

Liu Hua almost laughed out loud and said hurriedly: “Brother Yong is nothing unusual, so he said that he might not be back tonight, so I don’t have to wait for him.”

Qin Qing muttered in her heart, of course she didn’t have to wait for him. It seems that someone will accompany me while kneeling at the ancestral hall tonight. Thinking of this, he didn’t dare to delay any more time, and said: “Auntie, you are busy, I have to go back and please my father.”

The old woman smiled and said: “That’s true. Your brothers are all the same. Today, Yong’er was about to see the general and was called by someone sent by the general.”

Qin Qing was even more flustered, and hurriedly bid farewell to the horse. He drove to the general’s mansion. He did not see the young Liu Hua who sent him out with a strange and funny look in his eyes.

Qin Qing was full of worries, and wanted to get home soon, lest his father become more angry, and he was afraid that after seeing his father, he would just get down with a club and let himself go into the ancestral hall and kneel. He hesitated and returned home in this way. As soon as he entered the door, he was informed by the family general. The master gave the order, and the son went to the study to see him as soon as he came back.

Qin Qing was stunned. His father’s study was the place he feared the most. Every time he made a mistake, the first thing he did was to be called to the study, but now he can’t slip away, so he has to pretend to be calm. Came to the door of the study. When Qin Qing finally plucked up the courage to push the door in, he was taken aback. Qin Yi was dressed in civilian clothes and was pointing to the map with Qin Yong and saying something. Seeing Qin Qing coming in, he just gave him a faint look and continued. Talking to Qin Yong, Qin Qing listened carefully, but it was his father who was discussing with Qin Yong how to rearrange the defenses of Chang’an to prevent this time from happening again. Qin Qing couldn’t help but feel ashamed and didn’t dare to interject. He only listened to his father and Qin Yong discussing how to deploy defenses. In the past, the main responsibility of the Forbidden Army was to maintain the imperial city, and Jing Zhaoyin was mainly responsible for the public order in Chang’an, so this happened. The accident was a little unprepared for the Forbidden Army. Although Qin Yi, the actual leader of the Forbidden Army, was absent, there were still some shortcomings in response. Therefore, Qin Yi re-planned the forbidden army’s defense and training plan.

When the two people were about to discuss, Qin Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly: “Qing’er, what do you want to say to my father?”

Qin Qing’s heart jumped, and hurriedly said: “Father, all Qinger is incompetent. Please father to punish me.”

Qin Yi smiled slightly, and said: “Now you are Jingjiang trotter, I can’t control you anymore. I don’t blame you for this matter. You are still young and lacking in prestige. You can handle it this time, too. I’m barely qualified. What I want to ask you is, a few days ago, why did you block Jiang Sima’s driving in the Yongwang Mansion? These days, I have been waiting for you to explain this to me, but you have never come.”

Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: “It turns out that it was this matter. My father didn’t mention it. I almost forgot. I am still a little annoyed when I say that. There was obviously a rebellion hiding in the car that day, but Jiang Zhe I used the gold medal to force me to not be able to search. If it weren’t for Hanyou who said it shouldn’t be troublesome, I would like to confide your majesty…”

As soon as I said this, Qin Yi was already full of anger, fingers trembling, almost unable to hold the teacup, and it took a long time to say: “I don’t know you have such a talent, ok, ok, I really have a good son. “

Qin Qing was frightened now. He had been afraid of his father for a long time. He knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: “Father calms down.” But he looked confused and obviously didn’t know where he was wrong.

Qin Yi felt sad and desolate in his heart. There is no other relative in this world than his father and son. Why doesn’t he want his son to excel and be a leader, but Qin Qing is so stupid and always unable to see the facts. With such a qualification, he is an officer. That’s all, but he is at the center of the imperial court. Now he has his own care and can still be safe and sound. If he goes by himself in the future, who else can take care of him is the princess of Jingjiang, Li Hanyou, who pointed to him for the love of husband and wife. I am afraid I can only become a pawn. I knew today that I would not agree to transfer him back to the capital. He resisted his anger and said: “You rebellious son, is the Emperor Yong’s mansion something you can afford? Not to mention that the people in Jiang Si’s carriage may not be rebellious, but there is a real matter, and it is not your turn to intervene.”

Qin Qing whistled: “But that’s true. Didn’t my father say that he must be in charge of the imperial army to be upright and not afraid of power?”

Qin Yi said angrily: “I want you to be fair and upright~ IndoMTL.com~ I want you not to be a tiger and protect the innocent, but it is not for you to embarrass the King Yong. Now who doesn’t know that King Yong’s merits are superior to the world. But the prince was jealous. Between them were brothers reading the wall. We as courtiers could only stand by with folded arms. Since ancient times, there is nothing good and evil in fighting for reserve. As long as they don’t hurt the innocent civilians, what can I do for you kid. You. If you want to hold the injustice for Princess Jingjiang’s close friend, it’s all about embarrassing Pei Yun. Although Pei Yun did nothing wrong, he should not openly embarrass the Yongwang Mansion, not to mention that there may be people in the car that are inconvenient for you to see. Just no, if they let you search the car obediently, wouldn’t it mean that the Emperor Yong’s mansion has no face, and then even the magnanimous Emperor Yong will not forgive your rudeness.”

Qin Qing is not a stupid person. When he heard this, his face was flushed, and he didn’t know what to say. Qin Yi sighed and said, “Besides, some things are not as simple as they seem. You think that person is rebellious, but But forgot that he and the emperor are blood relatives, if you report up, but let the emperor take care of it, how can you intervene in these things casually, nothing else, I won’t say much about you, go to the shrine to reflect on it, woman People’s words, how can you be obedient, hum.”

At this time, someone outside the door reported: “Big Brother Qin, the emperor has issued an order.”

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said: “What’s the purpose?”

The man opened the door and came in, but it was Wei Guogong Cheng Shu, who solemnly said: “The emperor’s imperial edict, the prince was in the convalescent palace a few days ago, and now he has recovered from the illness, he can return to the mansion and continue recuperating. The King Yong made a great contribution this time and should have been rewarded, but he allowed his request to use the reward to help the victimized people. Also, the king of Qi will come to Beijing tomorrow to inspect the border on behalf of the emperor to guard against the Northern Han Dynasty attack.”

Qin Yi has a long taste and said: “Your Majesty’s decision this time is really intriguing.”
