Chapter 553: A coincidence

Changsun Wuji was still very irritated when he took Chu Suiliang. He could see that Li Chengqian did not dare or could not publicly treat Li Shimin, so he was going to attack him first.

Humph, let you father and son fight first.

Changsun Wuji thought resentfully, so he walked into the main hall of Shangshu Province and sat down. A servant had already brought tea and official documents.

Changsun Wuji naturally picked up the warm tea and took a sip, and was looking down at the official document handed over today.

Suddenly, he heard a mess of footsteps from far to near. Changsun Wuji raised his head unhappily, and saw his second son Changsun Huan and Gao Luxing's fourth brother Gao Shenxing hurried into the lobby.

Changsun Wuji felt that both of them were both old and that they were so ignoring Fengyi at this sensitive time that they really lost their family style.

If you have a calm face, you will teach the two of them a lesson.

"Father, something happened. Something happened." Changsun Huan shouted loudly without waiting for Changsun Wuji to speak.

"What happened? You company Changsun's Fengyi from the Changsun family ignored him?" Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Seeing this, Changsun Huan was afraid and dared not speak anymore, but he was secretly angry. Changsun Chong was incompetent and was killed by Li Chengqian, so why did he always take his anger on me?

"Cousin, something really happened." Gao Shenxing had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Changsun Wuji turned his head and looked at the servant who was serving him. The servant turned around and went out when he saw the opportunity.

Seeing this, Changsun Huan became more impatient on his face and said to himself: Now everyone in Chang'an City knows it.

Changsun Wuji still maintained the prime minister's demeanor and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"

"A drama is singing everywhere in Chang'an City." Gao Shenxing said solemnly.

Changsun Wuji didn't care after hearing this, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "They were the salaries from the East Palace?"

“That’s right.”

Changsun Wuji nodded after hearing this and said, "Actually, Li Chengqian's scheming methods are not very clever, but this ability to bewitch people is indeed quite good. Unfortunately, he took the wrong path and could only bewitch some common people. How big a storm can he cause?"

When he said this, he looked up and saw that Changsun Huan and Gao Shenxing were still anxious, so he asked, "What kind of play is he doing?"

The two of them answered at the same time.

"Hmm?" Just listening to a name, Changsun Wuji didn't know what it meant.

"What I said is that Li Chengqian was surrounded by the Turkic Helu tribe in Fuyu City." Gao Shenxing quickly explained.

Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied and said, "It's just Li Chengqian sings praises to himself, and it's worth your fuss?"

Gao Shenxing quickly explained again: "It is said that this drama has been performed in Kanto, but this time it was performed in Chang'an, mainly because there were spies in the court who informed He Lu."

"And they pointed the finger at our family." Changsun Huan added.

Changsun Wuji's face immediately became very ugly after hearing this, but he still said, "No one will believe his nonsense."

Gao Shenxing lamented, "But the people of Chang'an have already heard of the news. Many people are making a fuss for Li Chengqian and will leave the city to greet him tomorrow."

"What?" Changsun Wuji stood up suddenly when he heard this.

He glanced at Changsun Huan and Gao Shenxing, and when they saw that they all lowered their heads, he turned his head to look at the door, narrowed his eyes and showed his murderous intent.

"It seems that Li Chengqian really wants to fight me first." After a while, Changsun Wuji squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.

He wanted to prepare to wait until Li Shimin dealt with Li Chengqian and take action before he could take action. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian refused to let him go.

Changsun Wuji turned around and sat back on the desk, picked up his pen and started writing orders. Changsun Huan hurriedly walked to his desk to grind the ink for Changsun Wuji, while grinding the ink while peeking at the orders written by Changsun Wuji.

After Changsun Wuji finished writing, he threw it to Changsun Huan in anger, and then he calmly shouted: "Come."

Changsun Huan took the order and dried the ink traces while watching. Gao Shenxing saw that Changsun Wuji had no intention of hiding him, so he walked behind Changsun Huan and followed him to watch.

"Your Majesty has an order. The prince is unfaithful, filial, unkind and unrighteous, and cannot enter Chang'an City. These people intend to welcome the prince into Chang'an City, which is to disobey Your Majesty's will. They ordered the Ministry of Justice to reunite with Chang'an and the county governments of Daxing and the street patrols on both sides to capture these troublemakers and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice for trial."

"Father, relying solely on these yamen, we cannot arrest all the troublemakers who support Li Chengqian, right?" Changsun Huan asked after reading it.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Changsun Huan helplessly and said, "When you go back, tell the people in our mansion that if you want Li Chengqian to kill their nine clans when he comes back, call out all the people in the clan who can be used."

The so-called people in the mansion are all people who come to mourn Changsun.

Changsun Chong's mourning hall is still in Changsun Wuji's mansion. Because the body has not been transported back so far, Changsun Wuji has not officially mourned. It is just that some relatives and gentry involved in increasing the rent in the Changsun family recently, called mourning, but in fact they have made ill-gotten plans.

"Punish the Nine Clans?" Gao Shenxing was shocked.

Changsun Wuji looked at him disdainfully and said, "Don't you see the ending of the gentry of Hedong?"

Gao Shenxing thought that five years ago, when Li Chengqian arrived in Youzhou, he killed the Qinghe Cui family and Fanyang Lu family, among the five surnames and seven hopes, and all the ancestral tombs were dug.

His face was pale, he nodded and murmured: "It's time to fight to the death."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he felt under great pressure. He fought with Li Chengqian several times, but he was defeated. The reason why he dared to stand opposite Li Chengqian again was mainly because Li Shimin was completely disappointed with Li Chengqian and had already lost his plan to let Li Chengqian succeed the throne.

The protagonists of the decisive battle are Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

But, can Li Shimin really win?

Li Shimin defeated Li Chengqian and could not kill Li Shimin. What would happen to their Changsun family and Gao family?

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji slowly stood up and stared at Changsun Huan up and down to look carefully. Changsun Huan felt uncomfortable all over when he was seen, and said with a confused look on his face: "Father, father..."

Changsun Wuji seems to have never heard of it.

After a while, Changsun Wuji turned to look at Gao Shenxing again. This was his cousin. Because he was raised by his uncle Gao Shilian since childhood, their cousins ​​were the same as their own brothers.

Finally, Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "You go back and arrange it quickly, and then you can prepare..."

After hearing this, the two nodded first, but finally their expressions became very serious. They were not in their minds and left the Shangshu Province in a dizzy manner.

...

...

As Changsun Wuji's order was passed down, a great turmoil occurred in Chang'an City. The Ministry of Justice, the street patrols on both sides, and the soldiers from the two county governments rushed towards the southwest of Chang'an, such as Shengdao, Lizheng, Dunhua, etc.

These workshops were all places where Li Chengqian rescued the disaster seven years ago.

A large part of the victims in Chang'an City and later from counties around Chang'an City were placed here to teach them craftsmanship and support their families.

These are the most loyal to Li Chengqian. When King Jing rebelled, they were the first to come out to help Li Chengqian quell the rebellion.

Welcoming Li Chengqian into the city is also the most active they have shown, so they have become Changsun Wuji's number one target of attack.

However, there are tens of thousands of people living in these workshops and thousands of young and strong people. These people are trained by the East Palace guards on weekdays. During this period, under the secret dispatch of Liu Shi, they have long been allocated weapons.

Without Li Shimin's military talisman, only relying on these yamen runners arranged by Changsun Wuji, they were killed back as soon as they walked to the gate of the yard.

When Changsun Wuji received the news, he quickly wrote a memorial and personally brought the memorial to Xianchi Hall.

In Xianchi Hall, Li Shimin leaned against the soft pillow, squinted his eyes, looked at Changsun Wuji's memorial, and handed it to Li Ke casually.

"Brother has ambush in Chang'an City?"

Li Ke saw it and couldn't help but say in shock.

Li Shimin said disdainfully: "Hmph, the rebellious son is accustomed to being tricky."

Li Ke lowered his head and asked directly: "What should I do now? Should I send troops to suppress the rebellion?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "The soldiers who are stationed on the left and right guards cannot be used to deal with these people."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin waiting for him.

Li Shimin looked at the eunuch in front of him and ordered: "Go to pass the message. The troops stationed in Chang'an cannot be mobilized now. I ordered Changsun Pushe to invite the troops of the honorary relatives and nobles in Chang'an City to quell the rebellion."

"Abide by the order!"

The eunuch bowed and then left.

"Will Chang'an be in chaos like this?"

When the eunuch went out, Li Ke said worriedly.

"well--"

Li Shimin sighed very tiredly, and Li Ke didn't dare to ask more questions after hearing this.

After a while, Li Shimin said quietly: "In recent years, I have relaxed the government and have been in charge of the government. I have offended almost all the honors and relatives in Chang'an City.

A few months ago, the power of the rebellious son withdrew from Chang'an City, and these people had no idea. My health was getting worse and worse, and it was difficult to suppress these people again. It was just right to take this opportunity to fight against the untouchables left by the rebellious son to the death."

After hearing this, Li Ke thought that the purpose of Li Chengqian letting him come to Chang'an City was to make Li Shimin give up Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji, so that he could capture all his forces.

Now it seems that the father and elder brother have made a coincidence.
