Everything was agreed upon, and four men, Feng Li, Shi Danai, Duan Zhixuan, and Hou Junji, joined the Lingzhou Army, and Pang Yu, the Korean public servant, was assigned to guard Daizhou and assist Qin Wutong, the general manager of Daizhou.
Li Shimin and Li Shan went to the palace to have an audience, but Chai Shao used his foot illness as an excuse not to leave, but sat there quietly and waited.
A quarter of an hour later, Princess Pingyang appeared again.
Chai Shao smiled and said, "Huairen has already said it, so don't worry."
"Who do you think Huairen is?"
"Although he was crowned only last year, his skills, military skills, and scheming are far beyond those of ordinary people. There are very few people in the world who can compare with him. Could it be that he couldn't think of what you want?"
Princess Pingyang's face was as dark as water, "What exactly does Huairen want to do?"
"Didn't you say that?" Chai Shao said with a smile: "My husband, please be happy with your grudges!"
Seeing his wife's unkind look, Chai Shao quickly explained in a low voice: "If Pei Shiju is deposed at this time and King Qin comes to the East Palace in the future, can Huairen kill Pei Hongda, a famous official in the four dynasties and the prime minister in the former Sui Dynasty and the present? "
"Your Majesty will not allow it, but it is possible for His Majesty the King of Qin, but the world must be talking about it. You must know that it was Pei Shiju who recommended Huairen as the acting county magistrate, and he was able to rise to the world's attention and make numerous achievements..."
"That was Pei Shiju who drove Huairen to death!" Princess Pingyang's brows stood up.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chai Shao couldn't laugh or cry, "But who outsider knows?"
"It's just you and me so far. Li Keshi and Li Kai should know about it, but the King of Qin doesn't know much about it... Outsiders don't know about the grudge between Pei Shiju and Huairen."
Princess Pingyang felt a little numb, feeling that she was doing absolutely useless work today, "Then..."
"If Pei Shiju becomes an official, then Huairen cannot be justified." Chai Shao sighed: "Only if Pei Shiju stays, Huairen can be justified in his grudges and grudges. Even if his life experience is revealed to the world, it will be justified!"
"Otherwise, even if His Highness the King of Qin agrees to it after he ascends the throne, Huairen will kill Pei Shiju regardless of his will... But by that time, I am afraid that Pei Shiju has already gone to the west."
Princess Pingyang was silent for a long time and said quietly: "So the second brother and Huairen should have discussed it."
"Yeah." Chai Shao thought that there should be other reasons for this. Once Pei Shiju was forced to become an official, some accidents might happen, but there was no need to tell his wife about these things.
After looking at his wife who was still a little worried, Chai Shao added: "You and I are in control of the Beiya Imperial Army, and we must be careful of the Jinwu Guards on the left and right. If there is any change in the East Palace, we must attack Tiance Mansion first."
"What about Huairen?"
Chai Shao was speechless and could only explain the matter in detail, "As long as King Qin is still there, the East Palace will not take action against His Majesty, and Pei Shiju will not dare to touch Huairen. The price of failure is something they cannot bear, even if the prince , Pei Shiju forced his orders, and the generals under his command did not dare to obey them!"
"While Huairen lives in seclusion, Sun Moon Lake seems to be just an ordinary village, but it is well-defended, with brave guards, young men willing to die for it, and generals such as Liu Heier, Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, and even Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang may be there. If Pei Shiju does not mobilize more than two thousand elites, it will be difficult to defeat the village."
"If the dust settles, it is possible for Pei Shiju. If King Qin is fine, how can Pei Shiju mobilize heavy troops to attack Sun Moon Lake?"
Princess Pingyang suddenly realized in her husband's speechless eyes, "So...not bad, good, right and left Jinwu Guards!"
The Beiya Forbidden Army is responsible for the defense of the imperial city and the palace city. The Chang'an square and city gates are all responsible for the Jinwu Guards. If there is any movement in the East Palace, the Changlin Army will most likely enter Chang'an through the Fanglin Gate, which is the closest to the Forbidden Garden and also the distance from Tianjin. The nearest city gate to Jinchengfang, where Ce Mansion is located.
Princess Pingyang thought for a while, "The left and right generals of the Jinwu Guard are all empty-handed. Even the generals may find it difficult to do so. They may be at the level of Zhonglang General and Left and Right Lang Generals."
Chai Shao nodded in agreement, but advised: "There is no need to check, King Qin and Huairen must have made arrangements."
After a pause, Chai Shao added: "The key is still Huairen."
"What?" Princess Pingyang was a little surprised, "Shouldn't it be the second brother?"
"Isn't it him who installed Qiao Gongshan in the East Palace?"
"It is said that he admitted it in front of his father."
Chai Shao deeply felt that his wife really knew nothing about this. Of course, this was not a bad thing... But even if she knew nothing, she couldn't have such a bad memory!
"In this incident at Renzhi Palace, Yang Wenqian conspired to attack Renzhi Palace. His Majesty's officials were trapped in Cuiwei Palace. Fortunately, Huairen happened to arrive to rescue them and they survived." Chai Shao whispered: "Huairen is really Did you arrive by chance?"
She didn't expect her husband to say such a thing. Princess Pingyang's face changed drastically. She was stunned for a while and stammered, "This...that...couldn't...isn't it just a coincidence?"
"It was such a coincidence that he sent his bodyguard to visit his father-in-law at Renzhi Palace. The bodyguard was intercepted and killed at Juyuan Bridge. He rushed back to report the letter. Huairen immediately summoned his bodyguard and set off overnight..." Chai Shao shook his head and said, "It can't be such a coincidence. of."
After a pause, Chai Shao added: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin and others will only think it is a coincidence, but you and I are different."
"different?"
Chai Shao sighed quietly: "Have you forgotten?"
"Back then, you suspected that Huairen had joined the King of Qin. You asked him carefully, and you even asked Ling Gong as an official of Tiance Mansion. How did Huairen respond?"
Princess Pingyang's expression changed again, "He said...it is based on the stories of Li's Danyang House and Xue's brothers in Longxi."
In the Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi, Li Keshi was an official of Tiance Mansion, Li Qianyou was an official of Prince Qi Mansion, and Li Yaoshi was a direct descendant of Li Yuan... For a long time, Li Yuan maintained the same position as the prince Li Jiancheng.
After brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun entered the court, one entered the East Palace and the other entered Tiance Mansion very neatly.
"At that time, I thought Huairen was just prevaricating. After all, Ling Gong's status in the Tiance Mansion is not low, and he has the trust of King Qin." Chai Shao clicked his tongue: "Now I know that Huairen is probably not lying."
"In other words, Huairen did arrive to the rescue by chance, but he got the news... After learning about it, he immediately summoned his bodyguards and rushed to Renzhi Palace overnight, and finally arrived before Cuiwei Palace was breached."
"Huairen also has an informant in the East Palace?" Princess Pingyang suddenly realized, "No, this time King Qi and Feng Lun jointly conspired to rebel, and the prince did not interfere."
"It's hard to guess the mystery, but Huairen must have someone in place, and his status is not low. He's not just an informant." Chai Shao shook his head slightly, with a look of confusion on his face, "Who is this person?"
"I originally thought it was Wei Xuancheng, but he has been exiled to Lingnan. It is unlikely to be Wang Gui. Could it be Wei Ting?"
"But no matter who it is, it must be the prince's confidant. If Pei Shiju is planning it... I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape from Huairen's grasp."
Looking at his wife, Chai Shao asserted: "So, don't worry, Huairen will win."
Well, Er Zhuhuan's report to the prince directly led to his current status in the East Palace soaring, and also led to him gaining more trust.
Therefore, Chai Shao really didn't expect to go to Er Zhuhuan.
