Chapter 905

Che Zhengxian said: "Although Li Ke usually treats the young general very badly, but the young general doesn't want him to be hurt by the rebels. The young general is quite brave. If Mr. Wang doesn't dislike him, if the young general is willing to go out to help, even if he can't help much, But you can also fight and do something!"

Wang Pingan said: "The matter is not serious enough, let's wait for the news first!"

However, Shi Aiguo sighed and said: "Wu Wang Qiansui's subordinates are like wolves, tigers, snakes and scorpions. If Wu Wang Qiansui falls into their hands, it will be very dangerous! Bah, bah, look at our family. This stinking mouth is full of unlucky words!"

As soon as he thought about it, Li Ke was most likely killed, so he naturally understood what to say. He restored Li Ke to the old address, and even called King Wu Qiansui.

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and thought: "You have a bad mouth, which is usually annoying, but this time, this old man is very happy. The more smelly the better, I can bear it!"

After a long time, the sky brightened outside, but the shouting and killing still did not stop for a while, instead it became more and more louder. Not only that, but also because of the fire outside, the black smoke was blown all over the city by the wind , Even the lobby was filled with black ash, the smoke was so smoky that it was almost impossible to treat people!

At this time, an officer ran in and said, "Report! Eldest Sun Xiangye, the brothers have found Li Ke. He was held hostage by a small group of rebels, and he is running towards the south gate!"

Changsun Wuji stood up and asked in a very surprised tone: "What's the matter, isn't Li Ke with our generals, why was he captured by the rebels? You didn't protect him well, what should you do?"

This officer was Ouyang Yi. He was ordered by Ouyang Li to secretly transport Li Ke's body to Yingzhou, and then ran in to report the letter. He wanted Changsun Wuji, Shi Aiguo and Che Zhengxian to see it. Li Ke He is not dead yet, even if he were to die, he would be killed by the rebels.

Ouyang Yi said: "Back to the elder grandson, it's not that the last generals didn't protect him well, but Li Kefei wanted to find his subordinates. The last generals couldn't persuade him, so they could only force him to stay in the army. It's impossible to start a war. Afterwards, he actually ran to the rebels secretly, for some reason. When the generals found him again, he was walking towards the south gate with a small group of rebels, so he probably was kidnapped!"

Changsun Wuji said with a sad face: "This child, why do you trust your subordinates so much? If the old man's predictions are correct, he must have wanted to dissuade his subordinates from rebelling, but his subordinates refused to listen, and took him as a hostage. He wants to leave Yingzhou and join the rebels in Goguryeo, the rebels and the rebels are indeed connected!"

Che Zhengxian thought to himself: "Why do you involve us?" He hurriedly said: "Master Changsun, don't worry, the young general will definitely deal with the rebels in the young general's country, and even if they escape into Goguryeo, the young general will send troops to chase them , will definitely be able to rescue King Wu from the hands of the rebels."

Changsun Wuji knew well that the officer came to report this way because he wanted them to go out and see how Li Ke was held hostage.He said: "Come on, let's go out and have a look. There is a turret in this mansion. When I came in last night, the old man saw it. It is relatively high there, and you should be able to see the south gate."

With a group of people waiting, Changsun Wuji went out of the lobby, went up to the turret first, and looked towards the south gate.I saw thick smoke billowing in the entire Yingzhou city, and smoke was everywhere.In the three directions of east, west and north, there is more dense smoke, but less smoke in the south. Yingzhou City is not too big. From the turret, you can barely see the south gate, but the distance is still not close, and you can only faintly see it. Yueyue saw that there were soldiers fighting over there, but it was impossible to tell who was fighting who. The soldiers on both sides were wearing Tang's armor, and it was impossible to tell who was far away. Who will come.

Changsun Wuji guided the door with his hand, and said: "There is a war going on there, I wonder if Li Ke's rebels have been held hostage?"

Wang Pingan said: "In addition to the rebels in the city now, our generals can't fight anyone else. It's probably the rebels, but it's hard to tell whether King Wu is holding Qiansui hostage."

Che Zhengxian didn't say anything, it was inconvenient for him to express his views on such matters, Shi Aiguo's mouth moved, but he thought of his "principles", so he didn't make a sound, lest he say something wrong and be picked on by Zhangsun Wuji, In case you send yourself to check it out, there is a lot of fun playing there, and you "accidentally injure" yourself, but there is no reason to go.

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Ping'an and asked, "Why don't we go down and make sure, Li Ke, as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, is in danger, and we should do our best to help him!"

Wang Pingan glanced at Ouyang Yi, seeing Ouyang Yi nodded slightly, he knew that the matter had been arranged, and said: "My uncle's words are very true, we should immediately go down to support Wu Wang Qiansui!"

Changsun Wuji rushed to Cha Zhengxian and Shi Aiguo and said, "Go together, let's go together!"

Che Zhengxian hurriedly said: "Yes, the young general is willing to follow the elder grandson and the king to rescue the king of Wu Qiansui!"

Shi Aiguo thought to himself: "This is to get witnesses. Don't think about it. Li Ke has already been killed at this time, and in all likelihood, it was Changsun Wuji who killed him. Changsun Wuji hated Li Ke for so many years, and finally found him. The opportunity has come. It's a pity that Li Ke tried his best to toss, but in the end he was murdered by Changsun Wuji!"

Shi Aiguo said: "Our family will also go with the eldest grandson Xiangye. If King Wu Qiansui is injured, our family can bandage his wound!"

Under the leadership of Changsun Wuji, everyone went down the turret together, left the mansion, got on their horses and ran towards the south gate. A team of guards led by Ouyang Yi opened the way ahead.While running, the guards yelled loudly to build up their momentum!

Ouyang Yi rode on the horse, and ran and shouted: "You are rebellious, let the king of Wu thousand years old quickly, and don't kill him!" He yelled and ran towards the south gate.

Not long after, when Changsun Wuji and others rushed to the south gate, they saw that the battle here had ended, and there were corpses and blood everywhere!
Everyone reined in their horses, Changsun Wuji asked loudly: "How, have you rescued Li Ke?"

Several school lieutenants surrounded him, and the leading school lieutenant said: "If you go back to the grandson Xiangye, the last general is incompetent, and he didn't save Wu Wang Qiansui. He, he was killed by the rebels!"

After finishing speaking, the captain waved his hand to the back, and several soldiers brought over a corpse, which belonged to Li Ke!
Changsun Wuji was "surprised" and shouted: "This, this, what can I do, how can I ask the old man to explain to the court, how could Li Ke die like this!" He didn't get off his horse, and didn't go to check Li Ke's body corpse.

Wang Pingan didn't get off his horse either. He wasn't active in this matter, and he wasn't acting for big shots. One was Cha Zhengxian, the other was Shi Aiguo. Li Ke was dead, and the body was right in front of them.

Che Zhengxian didn't bother to look, and of course he didn't move. Only Shi Aiguo was left, so he had no choice but to brace himself, get off his horse, and shouted, "Wu Wang Qiansui, is this really Wu Wang Qiansui?"

Shi Aiguo ran to Li Ke's corpse, and seeing that it was really Li Ke's corpse, he gritted his teeth, let out a howl, and burst into tears. Although the cry was loud, he did not shed a single tear.

Changsun Wuji said: "The matter is of great importance. My King Wu of the Tang Dynasty was killed by the rebels. This matter must be reported to the imperial court immediately. The memorial will be written by the old man. No illness, Ambassador Che, and Director Shi. Let's make a joint name too!" With that said, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the mansion again.

Wang Ping'an and Che Zhengxian were about to follow, when Changsun Wuji ran a few zhang away, stopped his horse again, and said, "Yingzhou has been burned down, it's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go to the barracks!" Turn the horse's head around and run out of the city gate.

Anyway, wherever Changsun Wuji went, Wang Ping'an and Che Zhengxian followed. They also turned their horses around and ran towards the city gate together.Shi Aiguo didn't care about Li Ke's body anymore. No one watched his performance, so why was he crying? He got on his horse and followed behind, leaving the city together.

After entering the barracks of the Turkic army, Changsun Wuji went to the sweat tent. The inside of the sweat tent had been cleaned up long ago, and the blood left when Li Ke was killed was no longer visible, as if this incident had never happened.

Changsun Wuji wrote a memorial in the account, writing down the "what happened" in detail, and reported the matter to Emperor Li Zhi. After the memorial, Wang Ping'an first signed it, and then Che Zhengxian and Shi Aiguo also signed it. name, counted as a joint memorial.

After sealing the memorial, Changsun Wuji sent someone back to the capital.In the next few days, Wang Pingan let the Turkic army move towards Goguryeo, while waiting for news from Chang'an.

According to his estimation, it is a foregone conclusion that the Turkic army will temporarily take over Goguryeo, and there will be no change. However, after Ashina Qiboer brought the Turkic army to Goguryeo, many city lords in Goguryeo are still in the state. The opposite of Cha Zhengxian can be regarded as a rebel army, so the Turkic soldiers will get enough benefits to suppress the rebellion, so there is no need to worry about Goguryeo.

What he cared about was Wu Meiniang's reaction. The death of Li Ke would definitely shock Wu Meiniang greatly. He had to be on guard against what Wu Meiniang would do.But there is one thing, as long as he has Cha Zhengxian in his hands, he will definitely be able to return to Chang'an with Changsun Wuji. After all, Goguryeo officially surrendered and entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way to stop it.

As long as Wang Pingan and Changsun Wuji return to Beijing, many things will be easy to handle. As long as they can see the emperor, as far as the ministers are concerned, they are afraid that they will not see the emperor. Without the support of the emperor, they can do everything no.

After more than half a month, there was news from the direction of Chang'an, and this news frightened Wang Pingan and Changsun Wuji into stupidity.

The news from Chang'an turned out to be that Empress Wang was abolished and Wu Meiniang was crowned empress!With the help of Li Yifu and Mi Xiaomiao, Wu Meiniang successfully overthrew the Queen!
Because the Queen has been taking care of the crown prince Li Zhong, and Li Zhong has been getting sick for some reason during this time, and each illness is more serious than the last, and he never gets better. The imperial doctors are helpless.Wu Meiniang blew a strong pillow wind into the emperor's ear, which made Emperor Li Zhi think that Queen Wang was not a good queen, and all the things that happened in the palace before were all caused by the queen's incompetence!
Originally, the crown prince Li Zhong got sick, even if the queen was to be blamed, it would not be so serious that she would be abolished, but Wu Meiniang couldn't help but always speak ill of her, and Mi Xiaomiao went to "check" and "prove" every day "Queen Wang is indeed not good, and she also said that she complained about the emperor behind his back and spoke ill of the emperor.

Not afraid of bad things, but afraid of bad people, after a long time, Li Zhi believed what Wu Meiniang and Mi Xiaomiao said, and was extremely dissatisfied with the queen.And in the court, Li Yifu took advantage of his status as the supervisory censor to win over the officials of the subordinate provinces. If anyone followed his wishes and said that Wu Meiniang was virtuous, then he would speak well of that official. If anyone refused to submit, He didn't want to stand in Wu Meiniang's team, so he tried his best to speak ill of someone.

In this way, the officials of the lower provinces were dealt with so badly that many people had no choice but to curry favor with Li Yifu, and even went to the people to find some so-called auspicious signs, saying that the auspicious signs from the sky indicated that the Tang Dynasty would change the queen, etc. , and so on, with illusory evidence, to make Wu Meiniang a queen and wave the flag.

In the palace and court, there were voices of praise for Wu Meiniang.Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang received a letter from their eldest grandson Wuji, saying that they wanted to raise thieves to get rid of them, so they ignored Li Yifu's troubles and allowed him to develop his power.

But no one thought that Wu Meiniang tossed and tossed, and even tossed the queen to be abolished.And when Li Zhi said that he wanted to make Wu Meiniang the queen, more than half of the court ministers opposed it, especially Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang who opposed it the most.Li Zhi couldn't make up his mind, so he asked General Li Ji.

Li Ji refused to get involved, so he told Li Zhi that this was the emperor's family matter, and that the emperor should decide for himself, and there was no need to ask the ministers.He did not take a position.

But there is no position, in fact, it is a position.Li Zhi was very happy, so he said to the ministers, who is the queen is my family business, I don't need to ask you, I have made up my mind, so I will make "Yang Chunhua" the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial edict to confer Wu Meiniang was issued very soon, as soon as she tells the heavens, Wu Meiniang will officially become the empress!

After Li Zhi received Changsun Wuji's memorial, he ordered Changsun Wuji to come back, saying that he not only inspected the entire Grand Canal, but also went to Youzhou, which is very creditable, and accepted Goguryeo's surrender. He has made great contributions to the country, so he was asked to return to Beijing to hand over the decree, and Wang Ping'an also came back to participate in the canonization ceremony of the new queen.

After reading the imperial decree, both Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji were shocked.Wang Pingan said: "Uncle, what should we do? If Wu Meiniang becomes the queen, we will all be gone!"

Changsun Wuji held the imperial decree in his hand, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he said: "Yes, that's a big deal. According to the old man's estimate, the letter from Chu Suiliang and the others will arrive in a few days, let's see what they say Let’s make a decision on this matter.”
