Chapter 790 Li Xian's plan begins
"You don't know?"
Wu Zetian frowned.
"Huh, how could you not know?"
"King Qin Li Cunxi!" she suddenly shouted.
"I'm here!" Li Cunxi quickly bowed.
"I appoint you as the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangnan Road Army, and General Zhang Renyuan of the Left Guards as the Deputy Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangnan Road Army. The two of you will lead the Left Dragon Guard, the Left Jade Guard, and the Right Jade Guard, totaling 200,000 troops, to the 19 prefectures of Jiangdong!"
"I accept your order!"
Li Cunxi accepted the order and knew that this was just a chance for him to get some experience.
Zhang Renyuan, the General of the Left Guard, was no small figure. His influence in the military during the Wu Zhou Dynasty was second only to that of the Minister of War Wang Xiaojie, and he was as famous as the General of the Left Guard Guo Yuanzhen.
He was also a famous general during the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
With people like this following, it is actually not difficult to defeat a cowardly good-for-nothing like Wu Sansi.
"General Song Wuji of the Left Jade Guard has been promoted to Grand General of the Left Jade Guard. General Li Kaigu of the Right Jade Guard has been promoted to Grand General of the Right Jade Guard. Upon receipt of the military order, reorganize your armaments and prepare to follow the King of Qin's army to the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong!"
"Jianzhi, send a fast horse out of Luoyang with a letter to Zhang Renyuan, asking him to gather his troops and wait in Ruzhou."
"Mobilize the Left and Right Dragon Guards to the vicinity of Luoyang and secure its strict defense. As long as the war in the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong is not over, martial law will continue throughout Luozhou!"
……
Not long after the emperor's order was passed down, Luoyang was indeed different from usual.
To put it bluntly, everyone is in danger.
Li Cunxi's expedition is imminent. According to the emperor's intention, Li Cunxi will have to go on the expedition tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, he will not be able to sleep well tonight.
After returning home, Li Cunxi asked Ma Rong and Qiao Tai to go out and find Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui. After explaining the current problem, he asked the two to help and go with him.
The emperor also gave him a team of 500 Qianniu Guard cavalry, but he did not assign him a general to lead the cavalry. Presumably, he wanted him to ask Hu Jinghui to help lead the team.
As for the people at home, Li Cunxi currently has no plans to take them out to fight, not to mention that he has enough bodyguards.
Li Cunxi had arranged most of the things. The sky was already gloomy. He ate something casually and went to the bathroom to shower for about quarter of an hour. Then he prepared to go back to the room and hold Xiao Mei in his arms to have a good rest.
He was very tired these days, and when he thought that he might not be able to get a good night's sleep, he decided to sleep until tomorrow morning.
On the other side, in the study of the East Palace.
Li Xian asked calmly, "Is everything done?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman burst into tears: "It's done, Your Highness!"
At one o'clock in the morning in autumn, it was already dark outside.
As the saying goes, a dark and windy night is the time for murder and arson. The middle-aged beautiful woman and her men have poisoned everyone in the East Palace, leaving only a few people who escaped.
And she should have gone to hell with her master Li Dan.
"Please accompany me on this journey."
Li Xian put down the book, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Take your poisoned wine with you."
"Zai Si, you should also follow me and send that unfaithful bitch off on her last journey!"
In the study, the prince's guest, who was also the only close minister accompanying Li Xian tonight, nodded heavily.
He knew that Li Xian had decided to start a rebellion. At this moment, he was just like Hou Junji who had been by Li Chengqian's side in the past, and he vowed to follow the deposed crown prince until his death!
"Think again, do you think that my decision to raise an army tonight to kill Zhu Wu would make me seem a little indecisive?"
"Your Highness's actions tonight are no less remarkable than the actions of the Liu clan kings in the early Han Dynasty who rose up to exterminate the Lü clan. This will surely be remembered for eternity! How can this be considered an act of indecision?"
"Well, you're right. It's hard for me and Dandi to have made so many sacrifices just for tonight. If we can anger Mother to death, we will also leave a strong mark in history books."
"Your Highness is absolutely right. For the sake of the Li Tang dynasty and the heirs of the Li clan, I will follow Your Highness, through fire and water, without regret, until the final moment arrives!"
Yang Zaisi was passionate.
His tone was firm and his eyes were fiery.
"Zai Siyuan is willing to die before Your Highness. On the road to the underworld, Zai Siyuan will pave the way for Your Highness!"
Li Xian felt Yang Zaisi's intentions and nodded with satisfaction.
"You are truly my wise and kind person!"
The two looked at each other, laughed, and then walked into the bedroom of the deposed Crown Princess Wei together.
The deposed Crown Princess Wei, with a defeated look on her face, sat on the couch, looking at the two people who came in and the silent middle-aged beautiful woman behind them with an expression of disbelief.
What Wei could not accept the most was that the middle-aged beautiful woman was holding a small wine glass filled with poisoned wine in her hand.
"Wei, you and I are husband and wife. Drink this glass of wine and you can go on your way."
As Li Xian spoke, he motioned for the beautiful middle-aged woman to come forward and serve the poisoned wine to the deposed Crown Princess Wei.
The deposed Crown Princess Wei was already pale, and when she saw the poisoned wine, she became even more terrified and would not touch it no matter what.
"You'd better save some dignity for yourself, otherwise, when I have someone take action, you won't even have that much dignity left."
Li Xian opened his mouth to remind him, but he did not point it out clearly.
"I don't know what I have done wrong that His Royal Highness wants to kill me."
Wei struggled to speak, not knowing what was wrong.
Of course, she was very impressed by the little things she had done, and she knew very well what kind of person she was.
Apart from anything else, just having an affair with Wu Sansi several times is enough to send her to hell ten times.
But she didn't want to die. Her brother Wei Anshi was a guest of the prince and had a close relationship with him. She had made a huge mistake, and someone should have taken the blame for her. The prince had to let her go for the sake of her brother Wei Anshi.
"At this point, do you still want to deny it?"
"Have you forgotten how many times you and Liang Wang Wu Sansi have had secret affairs over the past year?"
"The reason I didn't tell you is that I wanted to save your face, and also to save your brother Wei Anshi's face."
"If you don't want this face, I can spread it everywhere, making you lose all your face, and your brother Wei Anshi won't gain any benefit at all."
Li Xian's tone was calm, and even though he was wearing a green hat, it could not conceal his kingly demeanor.
"I hope you die peacefully, rather than hanging yourself after your reputation is ruined. If you die now, the history books will still record you as the Crown Princess Wei. But if your reputation is ruined, you will only be known as the Slut Wei."
Wei's heart was shocked, and the lustful woman regretted her behavior at this moment.
She looked at Li Xian with trembling eyes, then picked up the poisoned wine.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she put down the poisoned wine and looked at Li Xian with pitiful eyes.
"Your Highness, can you please let me see my child again?"
"You have no right to look at them, you slut! I have done my best for you, don't be ungrateful!"
