Chapter 689 Then do it
The group entered Taiyuan City. When the guards at Taiyuan gate saw that Li Bowen was back, they were all surprised. Seeing Li Bowen seemed very tired, she didn't know what happened, which would make the young prince who had always been pampered and live in such a state of fatigue.
Li Bowen took Du Dazhai and others into the city and went directly to Prince Cheng's mansion. On the way, he also sent a guard of the royal palace to inform Prince Jingde. The guards of the royal palace did not have to say anything to Prince Jingde. He just needed to tell Prince Jingde that Li Bowen was back, and that Prince Jingde would definitely come to Prince Cheng's mansion to discuss matters.
After entering Prince Cheng's mansion, Li Bowen asked Du Dazhao to wait in the side hall. He went in to see his grandfather Prince Cheng first. He couldn't say something in front of Du Dazhao that Du Dazhao's current representative of Prince Li Chongjiu, and he was originally going to surrender to Yan King Yang Ze.
In fact, before Li Bowen could enter the palace, Prince Cheng knew the news. Other guards from the palace told him that Prince Cheng was shocked. Why did Dasun come back so soon? In terms of the itinerary, it would not be so fast. Unless the matter was done, how could he come back so soon? Something must be an accident!
Prince Cheng felt dizzy. Could it be that his royal family, like other branches, would also decline? He was not afraid of falling down, at least his life was still there, but he was afraid it would be a disaster!
No matter what, Prince Cheng is still so worldly. He was just shocked, and then he returned to peace. It was a blessing or not a disaster, but a disaster that could not escape. The soldiers came to prevent the generals, and the water came to cover the earth. The time of the Dugu Queen was so dangerous that he survived. He didn't believe that he would not be able to survive the crisis of the new dynasty.
Prince Cheng went directly to the study and told the butler in the palace that as soon as Li Bowen came back, he would immediately bring him to see him. The butler naturally did not dare to neglect and waited at the door early.
The housekeeper was still very reliable in doing business. When he saw Li Bowen bringing back a stranger, he didn't ask anything, but asked the servants to entertain Du Dazhi and others, and he took Li Bowen to see Prince Cheng.
On the way to the study, the housekeeper asked, "Little Prince, why are you so embarrassed? But things are not done well. The person who came back with you is not like the one from the King of Yan, the King of Yan will not let you come back so soon."
The housekeeper guessed very accurately, and Li Bowen did not intend to hide it. He said, "It is His Highness the Crown Prince's man, a general. His Highness the Crown Prince recruited a criticism of his personal army, and this person is the leader."
The housekeeper was shocked. He was an old man in the palace and was loyal to Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng didn't hide anything from him. He heard Li Bowen say this and said in surprise: "Little Prince, how could you have contact with His Highness the Prince? Could it be that the plan has changed? Oh, don't waste time, go and see the prince quickly!"
The housekeeper was anxious and walked faster. But when he walked a long way, he saw Li Bowen walking slowly. When he saw Li Bowen walking, he understood that riding a horse hurt his thigh!
He didn't want to wait for Li Bowen to leave slowly, nor did he think of helping Li Bowen, but said, "Little Prince, please leave quickly!"
As he said that, the housekeeper ran up and ran to the study. As soon as he arrived at the study, he did not knock on the door, and went in directly and said to Prince Cheng: "Prince, something big happened. The person brought back by the little prince is His Highness of the Crown Prince. I heard that it is still the general of the new army!"
Needless to say too much, the amount of information in just this sentence was enough. Prince Cheng jumped up from the chair in horror when he heard this. He was old, and Leng Ding was frightened by this, and felt dizzy, shaking his body, and sat back on the chair!
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said in a crying voice: "Prince, you can't have any trouble. If something happens to you, our palace will be over!"
"What's over? Don't say these unlucky words!" Prince Cheng rebuked the housekeeper, calming his mind, his mind turned sharply, but he still couldn't understand when his eldest grandson had such an idea and dared to change the original plan privately. This is not Dasun's usual way of being a human being!
But while they were talking, Li Bowen went outside the study door and said, "Grandfather, grandson is back. If you have any major issues, you must report to your grandfather."
"Come in, go to Chang'an, what happened? Come in and explain clearly." Prince Cheng finally calmed down and began to get angry again.
Li Bowen entered the study room, first glanced at the housekeeper, and then knelt down to Prince Cheng, saying, "Grandfather, the plan has changed. The grandson cannot surrender to the King of Yan, so he can only turn to the prince. Fortunately, the prince admires his grandson very much and sent his confidant to follow his grandson back to Taiyuan. The man was waiting in the side hall and could call him in at any time."
The butler sighed slightly, let go of Prince Cheng's hand, he left the study room, took the door, guarded outside the door, and did not allow anyone to approach the study room.
Prince Cheng waved his hand and said, "Get up, sit down and talk. If something happens, just kneel down and kneel down, then keep kneeling, but you are not young anymore, you should know that kneeling alone cannot solve the problem."
Li Bowen slowly stood up and said, "Sun's grandson knew that kneeling was useless and kowtowed was useless, so he didn't dare to act according to the original plan!"
He sat down on the chair and told the story. Of course, although it was generally correct, he had made a lot of modifications in the details. It sounded like he had no choice, so he turned to Prince Li Chongjiu.
When Li Bowen was speaking, Prince Cheng didn't say a word. Until Li Bowen finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then asked: "Is that person sure that he is Wang Peilun, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? How can you prove that he is Wang Peilun himself? Could it be someone else pretended to be? Is there such a possibility? What certificate did he come up with to prove that he is Wang Peilun?"
Li Bowen was stunned. He didn't expect this, and he had never thought about it in the past two days. He murmured: "This, he didn't seem to have taken out the certificate from beginning to end. Instead, he looked at his grandson's certificate. But he had so many subordinates, this should be right. He could still have the master named Liu Zhiyu..."
Speaking of this, his face turned pale. He remembered that the Liu Zhubo who framed him did not wear Zhubo's official uniform, but the soap clothes of a minor official. Although the Minister of Justice was wearing official uniforms, since he could mobilize so many burly men, it would be difficult to make a fake official uniform!
Seeing that Dasun had this expression, Prince Cheng sighed, but did not say anything else. He said, "Maybe grandfather was too careful, but you should pay attention to this kind of thing in the future. Then tell me, who else did you meet after seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Are you seeing Wu Youren?"
Li Bowen was no longer confident this time, and he nodded and said, "Yes, my grandson met Wu Youren. It was he who asked my grandson to come back with General Du and wanted to see his grandfather."
He then told him about the task assigned by Wu Youren. In fact, he said it just now, but he wanted to keep it a secret just now, and then boasted about his ability to get the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, after being asked by Prince Cheng, his confidence was lost and he dared not sell it.
After hearing this, Prince Cheng was silent for a while, but shook his head and said, "Close the city gates tightly and do not allow the King of Yan's army to enter the city. This is not difficult. It only needs to be on the grounds of preventing the army from gathering the people. It only needs to say hello to the left. Anyway, the next Liu Ding is His Royal Highness. This is not difficult, but it cannot be allowed to enter the city. If the King of Yan said he wanted to come to the city and take a look, we would not allow it, it would be a blatant tear."
Li Bowen whispered: "If that person is really the Minister of Justice, then wouldn't he betray his grandson so humiliating? "
Prince Cheng shook his head and said, "Da Sun, it's not that grandfather said to you, you just need to think about it carefully. If that person is really a king, then he will not be humiliated to you, but the King of Yan feels humiliated."
Li Bowenqi said: "The King of Yan was humiliated? How could this be possible? How dare we humiliate him?"
"Wang Peilun kept calling you a commoner. This is actually to tell me that if I wanted to surrender to him, I would go to see him in person and send a grandson. He would not accept it. He is the King of Yan, one of the two major forces in the court, or the upper-class force. How could he receive you? He would of course think that it was a humiliation. Alas, it's a pity that if I don't send you here, there is no one to send you. Your father and uncle are not good!"
Li Bowen's face was flushed, but he was indeed without an official or a title. It was normal for Yang Ze to look down on him. Unless his grandfather passed away and he inherited the throne and became Prince Cheng, then Yang Ze would look at him in person.
At this moment, the housekeeper said outside: "Prince, Old Prince Jingde is here. The mansion that entered from the back door, where are you going to see him?"
Prince Cheng stood up and said, "Please come here, my old brother!" As he said that, he went out to greet him in person, and Li Bowen followed behind.
After a moment, Prince Jingde arrived at the study room. He saw Li Bowen. Although he had been surprised in his own palace, he still showed an unbelievable look on his face. As soon as he entered the study room, Prince Jingde asked, "Bowen, has something big happened?"
Prince Cheng sighed, he told the matter, and finally said, "The thing that is difficult now is, if King Yan arrives, then will he let him enter the city? Old man, do you have a constitution for this matter?"
Prince Jingde was silent for a long time and said, "At this point, our two families have no way out. Don't blame the child at this time. As for King Yan, if you want to tear apart, then tear it apart. If we want to support the prince, then support it to the end, this is much better than the two ends of the head rat!"
Prince Cheng sighed and said, "I have to do this!"
In the side hall, Du Da's chin was anxious and thought to himself, "Why haven't you seen me yet? What are they discussing?" He was impatient and didn't want to sit anymore, so he stood up and circled around the hall. After a long time, he turned dizzy. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Li Bowen came back.
Du Da's chin was impatient, so he snatched out of the side hall and said, "Little Prince, why did you come back so long? Should the old prince see me?"
Li Bowen said: "See, of course, see. Grandfather is waiting in the study to see General Du. General Du, please follow me."
Du Daqin followed Li Bowen, and he asked, "What does the old prince mean?"
"Of course, Grandfather is on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince. He wants to fight against the traitors and never tolerate the evil people in the court." Li Bowen answered very simply.
Du Da's chin said, and finally felt relieved. He said, "That young man can also feel relieved."
The attitude of the prince of Taiyuan is a crucial link in whether Yang Ze can kill Li Chongjiu, and it is also the most important link in the final power of the Li royal family. As long as this link is done, everything will be easier to deal with. This link was wise before, and this link is more powerful afterwards. Although Yang Ze would not tell these things to his subordinates, who would not guess it!
After entering the study, Du Daqi met Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde on his chin. This time the two old princes no longer hid. Since they had decided, they had to continue to implement it firmly. They naturally told them about their loyalty to Prince Li Chongjiu.
After hearing this, Du Dazhao bowed to the two old princes and said, "The two princes Gao Yi, who devoted their efforts to the Li family's country, will die. The young general admires it!"
Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde were both looking at this. Why are they so awkward? If you can't speak idioms, don't say it, so as not to make people disgusting. Although this guy is the prince's confidant, he looks like a scoundrel who likes to show off. He must have knocked others on the slap before.
Du Daqin said, "Since the two princes are high and the young generals must be humble. If you offend others, let the young generals do it. When the King of Yan leads his troops, the young generals will block the city gate and prevent the King of Yan from entering the city. If the King of Yan dares to break through, the young generals will shoot him with arrows. All the blame is considered to be the young generals and has nothing to do with the two princes."
When Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde heard this, they cursed in their hearts, "What kind of bad righteousness or what kind of words are used randomly. If you really dare to shoot King Yan Yang Ze with an arrow, then you are not called righteousness, you are called harming people. When King Yan is angry, he will definitely attack the city. It doesn't matter if your life is ruined, but we are still living in the city!"
Prince Cheng hurriedly said, "General Du cannot..."
"Your Majesty, just call the young general Du Da's chin, so kind."
"Well, okay, General Du's chin, you must not shoot the King of Yan with arrows. This will cause trouble for the Prince of the Crown Prince. If the Prince of the Crown Prince can arrive in Taiyuan in advance and the Prince of the Crown Prince is in charge, everything will be followed by the Prince of the Crown Prince. That would be great. But if the Prince of the Crown Prince fails to arrive in time, then we must not try to scare the King of Yan, but persuade them with kind words, but we must not be too rude!"
Du Daqin chuckled and said, "That's fine. We are a rough man, and we have no idea. We will listen to the two princes in everything. The young general sent someone back to report this to His Highness the Prince. I guess he would meet His Highness the Prince halfway."
After saying that, he turned around and left, left the study, and asked his heroes to inform Li Chongjiu. Of course, he would also send someone to notify Yang Ze.
When he left, Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde looked at each other, and Prince Cheng said, "Old brother, I have an ominous premonition, it seems that we are about to have a disaster."
Prince Jingde said, "Brother, I'm worried too much. Although the King of Yan is powerful in Chang'an, this is Taiyuan. As long as we take out the strength accumulated in the army over the years and recruit our own children, the military strength will definitely be better than King of Yan. It's still unknown who will win. We have been cowardly for so many years, and we should fight, not for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren!"
Prince Cheng sighed and said, "That's all." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
