Chapter 1040 Killing the King
"Your Majesty hopes that we can rescue the Empress and the Crown Prince as soon as possible." Wang Chengen sat there wearing that set of armor, which always made Li feel very funny.
Li just nodded, "Your Majesty has any explanation?" He felt that things would not be so simple. If Li Shimin just asked them to attack Hanjing, why not issue an order early? They would have been resting in Xiangyang for a long time.
The two sat in the Li family's living room, and the maids gave them refreshments.
Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, a special tribute tea from the Thousand Years Tea King Tree. Because Li likes to eat, the Li family’s tea and snacks have always been rich, and even the variety and styles can always lead the fashion.
“Try refreshments.”
Wang Chengen looked at the exquisite teasers brought up and smiled, "I heard that the teasers at the Li family on the Bashang are awesome. It is said that different teas are also accompanied by different teas?"
"Yes, different types of refreshments and different styles of refreshments should be matched with tea, so that their unique matching art can be shown. The refreshments in our house pay more attention to adapting to tea. For example, when drinking tea during leisure, black tea should be matched with sour food, green tea should be matched with sweets. Oolong tea should be matched with melon seeds, these are very particular."
Speaking of refreshments, Li is the master. The Li family not only pays attention to the combination of tea and refreshments, but also pays attention to the color and shape of refreshments, and pays attention to the ornamentality of refreshments.
Drinking tea is not only a drink, but also a kind of leisure and comfort.
"This thing tastes good, sour and sweet."
Eunuch Wang grabbed a small cup of food in front of him and was very happy to eat.
"This is called ice cream, made with fresh sweet juice and frozen milk."
"Eating this in the middle of winter is a bit cool, but it feels very good with cold and sweetness." He pinched the beard on his chin, "There are always so many fresh things in the king's mansion. Please give up your words."
Seeing that he was finally willing to talk about the serious business, Li waved his hand and the maids bowed and left.
"It will not be easy to enter Hanjing this time, and I believe the king knows it too. Your Highness asked me to tell Your Highness that we will not only rescue the queen and the prince and the others this time, but also have an important task."
Wang Chengen took the spoon and dug up another spoon of ice cream, and he was very happy to eat.
"Please say it."
Wang Chengen came over and whispered, "Your Majesty hopes that when he returns to Hanjing, not only will the Hanjing city be recovered, but the queen and the prince are also well, but he also hopes that he will not have to see the Supreme Emperor and the deposed prince again when he comes back."
"This is a secret decree. It can be heard from me and you should not have a third person to know."
Li nodded.
A troublesome thing, very troublesome.
The emperor didn't want to keep Li Yuan and Jiancheng and others anymore to avoid any future troubles. But he didn't want to do it himself, so he wanted Li Lai to kill people.
Li was not willing to take the blame for such a broken thing, but since the emperor passed the imperial edict, it was not the point of whether he was willing or not.
Li picked up a frozen pear and took a bite. The fresh pear was not particularly cold now, at least it had not snowed yet. The pear was picked and put in the ice warehouse for freezing.
Ordinary white pears are frozen black. When they want to eat them, take them out and put them in cold water to thaw. After they are melted thoroughly, they can be eaten. The frozen pears taste extremely crisp. "Now, there are tens of thousands of rebels in Hanjing. It is not a problem to attack them for a strong attack, but the trouble is that the emperor and the queen and the prince are there. We are afraid of the mouse."
"So I'm looking for the king in this matter. Your Majesty means that we are in the capital of Han. While negotiating with the Supreme Emperor, we find ways to assassinate the Supreme Emperor, rescue the Queen and His Highness, and then seize the city."
"Assassination?"
"When the assassination is successful, the rebels in Hanjing will be much easier. At that time, we will be much more relaxed when we attack the city."
"Is this your Majesty's plan?" Li asked.
Wang Chengen smiled, "This is Your Majesty's request. What should be done depends on the king's arrangement. In short, there is not much time left. Luoyang will conquer at any time, and we will have at most one month. Within one month, we must take down Hanjing, and to ensure the safety of the queen and the prince, we must also ensure that when His Majesty comes back, we will not see the Supreme Emperor and the deposed prince."
"The task is a bit arduous." Li Dao.
"It is precisely because of the difficulty that Your Majesty gave this task to the King. Others can't do it, but Your Majesty believes that the King will definitely do it." Wang Chengen twisted his body, and the navy blue plate armor on his body made a clanging sound.
If possible, Li would never be willing to take on this task.
But this is the emperor's secret decree and cannot be refused.
Wang Chengen wanted to know Li’s plan immediately, but there was no ready-made plan for such a thing. Even if there was, Li didn’t want to tell it out immediately.
After Wang Chengen finished the ice cream, he drank a few more cups of black tea, and finally had to say goodbye and leave.
After he left, Li sat alone in the living room for a long time.
A dilemma task.
If you don’t mention the difficulty of completing this task, the key is that after completing it, it will be a big trouble for Li.
No matter what, the Supreme Emperor was the emperor's father and the founding emperor. If Li killed him, he would become a monarch-killing minister. The most important point is that Li Shimin issued a secret decree to him, and it was an oral order.
At that time, the emperor will definitely not admit that he asked Li to kill Li Yuan, and in the end, Li will only take the blame.
This will be a hidden danger. If you really have a fall in love with Li Shimin one day, it will be his own life-threatening disaster at any time.
Li asked someone to call Ke Qing over.
"I hope you can go to Beijing."
Ke Qing stood there calmly and said, "What's the task?" It may be extremely difficult for others to enter and exit the capital, but it is not a problem for him.
Because he had a secret passage in his hand, this passage was a large-scale underground drainage and sewage system built by Li when he built Hanjing City.
The sewers in Hanjing City are very well connected, ensuring that there will be no flooding when it rainstorms in Hanjing, and it can also ensure that domestic sewage is discharged in time. When Yang Jian proclaimed himself emperor, he built the new capital Daxing City because the original Chang'an City was not good for underground sewage. Not only did it flood, it even polluted the groundwater in Chang'an, and there was no clean drinking water. In the end, he had to build a new Chang'an city.
When Li designed Hanjing City, he designed the sewer system from the beginning, and it was very well designed. A sewer system is of course also a hidden underground passage.
The court also had management of sewer networks, but such passages were very convenient for experts like Ke Qing to enter and exit.
Li picked up the teacup and sipped a small sip.
