"The incident hasn't happened yet. Chai Shao has controlled the Bei Ya forbidden army. Is it possible for Gu's men to enter Tai Chi Palace and sneak into the vicinity of Liang Yi Palace?"
Facing Li Jiancheng's words, Wei Ting was speechless. Indeed, the Qianniu Guards on the left and right were not as tightly guarded as before. That was because King Qin had moved out of the palace, but the East Palace guards would not be allowed to enter the Taiji Palace.
"That……"
"It's impossible to intercept and kill him on the way." Pei Shiju shook his head and said: "Sun Moon Lake is not far from Chang'an, and when Li Huairen travels, he must be protected by personal guards, and there are fierce generals like Wang Junhao and Liu Heier. How many people need to be sent to succeed? "
"A wise man will not take advantage of him. Once Li Shan suddenly disappears or is assassinated, the King of Qin will be vigilant." Li Jiancheng took a deep breath, "Let him live a little longer, wait until the day before the incident, and then call him into the palace, alone." , nothing more than a few swordsmen!"
After all, it was because Li Shimin had joined the army now, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, which was helpless. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng regretted not making up his mind earlier, but then he thought about it, if Li Shimin hadn't invited him to go to the army, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through Li Huairen. 's true face.
Pei Shiju continued: "The second is timing."
"We must take action when King Qin is in Beijing, and kill King Qin quickly... As long as King Qin dies, everything can be solved!"
Wang Gui silently nodded in agreement. Now that King Qi has been deposed as a commoner, once King Qin dies, the prince will be the only adult prince. The oldest of the other princes, King Zhao Li Yuanjing, is only nine years old.
No matter how angry you are, His Majesty cannot abandon the prince...Who knows whether those underage princes will die?
What's more, if the King of Qin can be killed, the prince is more likely to take advantage of the palace changes and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
"This time the King of Qin went to Hebei, and when he returns to Beijing someday, I'm afraid he will return with a large army." Wei Ting said worriedly: "It will be more difficult to take action then, right?"
Li Jiancheng had a sullen face and said nothing. He had learned from the mistakes of Yang Yong, the former Sui prince. How could he be willing to be deposed? He had made a lot of preparations in the past few months and gained a lot. Unfortunately, an accident suddenly occurred.
The sudden turn of the battle in Hedong was an accident. What surprised Li Jiancheng even more was that Li Shimin actually asked to go on the expedition, which caused most of his previous preparations to fail... Just now, Pei Shiju had guessed that this was Li Huairen's plan.
This is also a major reason why Li Jiancheng hates Li Shan to the core.
"There is still a chance." Pei Shiju spied on Li Jiancheng's face and brought up the topic. He already had a plan in this regard, but he still had to think about how to implement it.
It seems that the last time the soldiers went out with the King of Qin, and Yuchi Gong has not yet arrived in Chang'an, it is a window period, but Pei Shiju knew well that this must be the moment when Li Shan and Chai Shao are most vigilant...otherwise, why would Li Shan be the most vigilant today? Going to visit Princess Pingyang?
Wang Gui said: "Pei Gong just mentioned that there are internal and external differences."
"Inside is the Changlin Army, and outside is the Prince of Yan County." Pei Shiju said directly: "Since the Renzhi Palace incident, His Highness has gradually disbanded the Changlin Army, but now it is still stationed in the Forbidden Garden."
"Eliminate the weak and preserve the strong. Although it was reduced from more than 3,000 to 5,000, the combat power has not decreased but increased, and there are quite a few warriors of the Tianjie Army among them." Li Jiancheng also did not shy away, "I have received frequent letters from Prince Yan, willing to die for Gu Shi. "
Wei Ting grinned, "He has no other choice."
Luo Yi has been at odds with Tiance Mansion over the years. Not to mention other things, the whip marks on the faces of Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, and Cheng Yaojin were all due to him, and Fang Xuanling's broken finger was also his handiwork. We also need to add Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, who caused many quarrels and fights.
Li Jiancheng ignored Wei Ting and whispered: "Luo Yi sent his confidants to lurk in Yunyang County, his hometown. It is not far from Chang'an and can be transferred to the capital at any time."
"how many people?"
"At least five hundred people."
Pei Shiju felt relieved. The situation was much better than he imagined. Fortunately, he had been thinking about how to force the prince to raise an army over the years... everyone was already prepared.
Xu Shimo suddenly said: "If you want to kill King Qin, your Majesty..."
"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, father, don't blame your son, you are unkind, I can only be unjust!
Wang Gui glanced at Pei Shiju and whispered: "Your Highness, Mr. Pei, if there are changes in Hedong and Lingzhou..."
Li Daozong on the other side of Hedong is easier to deal with, so it may not be the case, but Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, is a die-hard supporter of the King of Qin, and he was at odds with the East Palace because of the Shi Wanbao incident, not to mention that the relationship between Daidi and Li Shan is too deep.
Zhang Zhongjian of Lingzhou was a personal guard of Li Huairen, the successor king of Wei, and also had Hou Junji, Hou Hongtao, Guo Xiaoke, Tang Jian, etc. under his command.
Li Jiancheng obviously had some considerations, "Liu Shirang and Li Shiji are isolated in Shuozhou, and I am afraid they will not be spared. The King of Huaiyang is helpless, so he can make Duke Xuanzhen gallop to Jiangzhou and Jinzhou to persuade various places to surrender."
The so-called Duke Xuanzhen refers to Pei Ji. Although Pei Ji has deliberately distanced himself from the East Palace since the incident at Renzhi Palace, Li Jiancheng specifically discussed with Pei Shiju a few days ago whether to drag Pei Ji into the water, but Pei Shiju vetoed it... Clearly I told Li Jiancheng that I had a grudge against Li Shan, so I could only stand on His Highness's side, but that was not necessarily the case for Pei Ji.
However, Li Jiancheng believed that if he could really succeed, Pei Ji would not refuse.
"As for Lingzhou, Zhang Zhongjian was promoted to the title of Duke, and he transferred the Prince of Yan County to lead the Tianjie Army to defend Chang'an, and then transferred Wei Yunqi, the governor of Ningzhou, to garrison Jingzhou."
On the one hand, Zhang Zhongjian was favored, and on the other hand, Wei Yunqi was stationed in Jingzhou, blocking the way for Zhang Shigui, the governor of Yuanzhou, to quickly go south.
Li Jiancheng believed that as long as Li Shimin could be killed, everything would be solved... Could it be that the generals who were loyal to the King of Qin rebelled in revenge for him?
Even if he had not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his father would not have allowed Zhang Shigui, Guo Xiaoke, and Hou Junji to cause chaos.
After going through all aspects in his mind, Li Jiancheng looked at Pei Shiju, "The key is timing."
Pei Shiju nodded slightly, "The King of Qin has the appearance of taking over the East Palace. I predict that if the King of Qin can regain Bingzhou, he will return to the capital."
"Then wait until he returns to Beijing!" Li Jiancheng said with a fierce look in his eyes, "This matter will not be leaked for now. Think about that guy from Qiao Gongshan... The second brother doesn't know how many nails he buried in the East Palace. Wait until something happens. Inform everyone."
Li Jiancheng and Pei Shiju secretly compiled a list of the so-called people. In addition to the generals of the Changlin Army, there were also Li Gaoqian, the Duke of Jiangxia, Li Shenfu, the King of Xiangyi, and Zhu Yichen, the Boer of Xiurong County who stayed in Beijing. , Duan Lun, Prince Consort Ji Guogong, and Er Zhuhuan, who was promoted to the prince's left guard a few months ago.
Wang Gui calculated in his mind that the chance of success was really low, but now there was no way out.
