"So I hope to summon the three generals here, hoping to conspire with the three generals to kill the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong!"
Speaking of this, Li Wang also looked directly at Chen Xuanli and said.
Of course, for Li Wang, killing Yang Guozhong was actually just an excuse. His real purpose was to take this opportunity to seize power.
However, Li Wang did not say this directly, nor did he need to say it, because Yang Guozhong was a person promoted and trusted by Li Longji. No matter what Yang Guozhong was like, he was still Li Longji's person. As long as Chen Xuanli and the other three were with him. If you kill Yang Guozhong, you will definitely offend Li Longji.
At that time, there is no need for Li Wang to say anything. In order to protect themselves from being liquidated by Li Longji in the future, Chen Xuanli, the three of them, and the army will definitely support his prince Li Wang instead of the emperor Li Longji.
And it would be best to kill the Yang sisters, especially Yang Yuhuan.
In this case, Chen Xuanli and others involved in this matter would have no way out.
Because Li Longji's love for Yang Yuhuan is known to the world. If Yang Yuhuan is also killed, you can imagine how angry Li Longji will be. By then, no one in the army will think of supporting Li Longji.
"What do you think, General Chen?"
Li Wang looked at Chen Xuanli and asked.
Chen Xuanli was greatly shocked. How could he not know what it meant to kill Yang Guozhong? It meant offending the emperor. Once they killed Yang Guozhong, the emperor would be furious and there was no guarantee that they would not be punished. This was what Chen Xuanli felt in his heart. The reason why Yang Guozhong had the intention to kill but did not dare to take action.
But now Li Wang wants to take action against Yang Guozhong.
wrong.
Maybe killing Yang Guozhong was just an appearance.
The real purpose is that Li Wang wants to seize power.
Chen Xuanli has been a general for so many years and has been able to reach the position of General Longwu today, so his political acumen is naturally not low.
After a short period of contemplation, he suddenly understood Li Wang's true intention.
If he agrees, then he may have no choice but to follow Prince Li Wang into trouble. He must support Li Wang in seizing power. Otherwise, if he kills Yang Guozhong, Li Longji will definitely be furious, and there is no guarantee that he will not settle accounts with them later.
But if you don't agree.
Chen Xuanli found that not only Prince Li Wang, but also Wu Siwen and Li Shengkai were looking at him at this time, and they looked at their calm expressions.
Chen Xuanli immediately understood that Wu Siwen and Li Shengkai had probably been convinced by Li Wang a long time ago, and now he was the only one left.
If he doesn't agree at this time, it's hard to say whether he can leave safely.
Think about it.
"Okay, Yang Guozhong is a man who has brought trouble to the imperial court. If he is not eliminated, he will continue to bring trouble to the Tang Dynasty. In the end, the general is willing to support His Highness the Crown Prince and kill the traitorous ministers."
Chen Xuanli finally made the decision and handed it over.
"We are also willing to support His Highness the Crown Prince in killing Yang Guozhong."
Seeing Chen Xuanli's statement, Wu Siwen and Li Shengkai immediately followed suit.
"Okay, okay! With three generals helping us, why worry about the traitor not being eliminated?"
Seeing that Chen Xuanli agreed, Li Wang was immediately overjoyed. After another discussion, the four of them quickly summoned their cronies to make arrangements and then started taking action.
"Kill Yang Guozhong first, and the Yang sisters, and we can't let them go."
"Since we want to kill, we must eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles."
Li Wang said with fierce eyes.
Soon, where Yang Guozhong's chariots and horses were, a group of army officers and soldiers surrounded them with unkind expressions.
"Stop, this is where the Prime Minister's carriage is, what are you going to do?"
When the guards under Yang Guozhong saw these people, they immediately stepped forward and scolded them, but he had just finished speaking.
puff!
A bright sword energy passed by, and the leader of the guards did not even react for a moment, and was beheaded in a different place.
Then, before waiting for the other guards under Yang Guozhong to react, these army officers swarmed in and killed all the other guards under Yang Guozhong.
Then the leading general looked at Yang Guozhong's carriage and shouted.
"Execute the treacherous minister, Qing Jun, all the soldiers will follow me to kill the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong!"
At this time, Yang Guozhong just heard the noise and came out of the carriage. Seeing this situation, he was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to escape, but it was too late and he was directly caught up by these soldiers.
"What are you going to do? I am the Prime Minister. You dare to kill me. Do you want to rebel?"
Yang Guozhong scolded him quickly, but his immediate response was a knife.
Yang Guozhong was instantly killed by the army, and then his body was directly cut into eight pieces.
At the same time, the carriages and horses of the three sisters Yang Yuzhu, Yang Yuzhen, and Yang Yuqing on the other side were quickly surrounded and killed by the army.
Some officials shouted loudly when they saw this, but they were directly regarded as Yang Guozhong's accomplices and killed with random swords.
The entire Maweipo was in turmoil in an instant.
Tiance's army.
Feng Changqing's expression also changed.
Just when Prince Li Wang recruited several of his cronies from the Tiance Army, he had a hunch that something might happen.
Now that he heard such noise, Feng Changqing knew that something big must have happened. He quickly found the two brothers Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu, gathered other Bai family's children in the Tiance Army and the former generals of the Tiance Army, and summoned the Tiance Army to gather together. .
Feng Changqing knew clearly that no matter what turmoil occurred, it would not be wrong to gather the army first at this time, so that when the time comes, he would remain unchanged in response to any changes.
As long as the army is at hand, there is nothing to worry about.
After gathering the army, Feng Changqing sent people to inquire about the news.
Soon the news inquired.
"General, we have found out the news. Some soldiers rioted and killed Prime Minister Yang, Mrs. Han Guo, Mrs. Guo Guo, and Mrs. Qin Guo. They said they wanted to clean up the emperor and kill the treacherous ministers. They also said they wanted to kill Concubine Yang as well."
After hearing the news, Feng Changqing and Bai Haowen, Bai Haowu and other Tiance Army generals behind him all changed their expressions.
There's big trouble.
Now everyone knew that something was definitely going to happen.
Just then.
"General, the Crown Prince has issued an order to assemble the army in front of the inn."
The edict from Prince Li Wang came again, and immediately a trusted general under Prince Li Wang also came to look at Feng Changqingdao.
"General Feng, the Crown Prince has issued an edict, ordering you to immediately lead the army to gather in front of the inn and wait for orders."
"Feng Changqing takes the order."
When Feng Changqing heard this, he immediately raised his hands in response, but then turned around and gave instructions to Bai Haowu, Bai Haowu and other generals of the Tiance Army behind him.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the prince may take the opportunity to seize power. Later, the generals and the army will all obey my orders. Without my orders, no one should listen to anything."
"promise."
Immediately, Feng Changqing led the Tiance army to the inn.
When Feng Changqing led the Tiance Army to the inn, he discovered that not only the Tiance Army, but also other armies such as the Longwu Army, the Yulin Army, and the Yulin Army had arrived, and they were so densely packed that they almost surrounded the entire inn. It was all over the place.
The head of Yang Guozhong at the front was hung high, dripping with blood.
Prince Li Wang, Wu Siwen, Li Shengkai, Chen Xuanli and others stood at the front of the team.
At this time, Li Longji, who was resting in the inn, had already been alerted. He also knew the situation outside through Gao Lishi, and he felt angry and afraid.
What makes him angry is that these soldiers dared to kill Yang Guozhong and the Yang sisters. You must know that the Yang sisters are also his favorites. Although their status is not as high as that of Yang Yuhuan, they are also deeply loved by him. But now they are all killed by these soldiers. .
What he was afraid of was the mutiny of the army. From the fact that the army killed Yang Guozhong and the Yang sisters, he knew that the whole army was not only dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong, but also probably dissatisfied with him. Killing Yang Guozhong would vent their anger and serve as a warning to him. If he satisfies the army at this time, I am afraid that the army will mutiny.
And once the army rebels, what use will he have as an emperor?
"What should we do? Hurry, go and summon Xuan Li."
Li Longji hurriedly gave an order to Gao Lishi. At this time, he could only think of Chen Xuanli as the one he could rely on. After all, Chen Xuanli had always been his confidant general and had been following him since he started his army and ascended the throne.
But what Li Longji didn't know was that Chen Xuanli had already rebelled.
"See Your Majesty!"
Soon Chen Xuanli came to Li Longji.
"What's going on outside?"
"Because the escape was too hasty, the army was prepared to provide food, grass and clothing subsidies. Now the soldiers are hungry, so they are filled with resentment. They all think that Yang Guozhong has harmed the country, so the soldiers of the army just killed Yang Guozhong and Yang Shi in anger. Sisters, we have to punish the treacherous minister Qing Jun. The situation is critical now, and your Majesty must handle it carefully, otherwise I am worried that the army will mutiny."
Chen Xuanli cupped his hands and said.
"Mutiny!"
Li Longji's face changed drastically when he heard this, and a look of shock and anger flashed in his eyes.
What he was most worried about now was mutiny, so he immediately looked at Chen Xuanli and asked.
"So I don't know what I should do at this time."
"Now that the matter has come to this, His Majesty should come forward to appease the army, affirm the action of the officers and soldiers, and determine that Yang Guozhong has harmed the country. In this way, Yang Guozhong can be used to calm the anger of the officers and soldiers of the army."
Chen Xuanli offered advice.
Hearing this, Li Longji thought it made sense, and immediately adopted Chen Xuanli's suggestion and walked out of the inn accompanied by Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi.
