Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 36: Rebellion Plan Guide [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"You said that Zhang Huli is planning to restore the emperor to his position?"

Inside the secret room of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, Prince Changle Li Youliang looked at Changsun Anye in disbelief and asked, "What ability does she have to restore the Emperor Emeritus?"

Zhang Sun Anye smiled, then said meaningfully, "In terms of her family background and connections in the imperial court, Concubine Zhang really doesn't have much ability, but in terms of social skills, I'm afraid no one in the entire harem can match her!"

"Oh I see."

Li Youliang nodded suddenly and said, "Zhang Huli has recruited a group of people to help her, right?"

"Yes! Didn't I mention Yi'an Prince Li Xiaochang before? I heard that Yi'an Prince is very concerned about this matter!"

"Ah!"

Li Youliang sneered, staring at Changsun Anye with a burning gaze, and said in a deep voice, "You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to His Majesty?"

"If Prince Changle is determined, I can't stop you. But I have two questions that I would like to ask Prince Changle first." Changsun Anye said without fear.

Li Youliang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Which two questions?"

"Haha, the first question is, do you remember the death of Prince Changping?"

"Is not this nonsensical?"

Upon hearing this, Li Youliang angrily said, "Prince Changping was my elder brother. He was shot to death by a Turkic arrow! I saw it with my own eyes, how could I not remember it?!"

"Does Prince Changle still remember how Prince Changping's descendants are doing now?"

"This"

Li Youliang was speechless.

Now even he, the Prince of Changle, is living a worse life, let alone those orphans and widows whose fathers and husbands have died.

"Oh! I don't know what Li Shimin is thinking! We are all family, why make things difficult for one family!"

Li Youliang couldn't help but complain, then turned to look at Changsun Anye and asked, "What's your other question?"

"this one"

Changsun Anye deliberately dragged out a long tone before continuing, "When did Prince Changle achieve this achievement?"

"Ok?"

Li Youliang was slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "It's the merits of the ninth year of Wude! What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to remind Prince Changle that it's already the first year of the Zhenguan era!"

"Hmph! What exactly do you want to say? Can you please speak clearly?"

"Haha, Prince Changle, calm down!"

Seeing that Li Youliang was already getting impatient, Changsun Anye immediately got straight to the point with a smile, saying, "What I mean is, while your martial virtues have not yet been exhausted and His Majesty still cares about your contributions, why not do something to let His Majesty know your attitude!"

"You want me to help Concubine Zhang?"

"Even if I don't help Concubine Zhang, it's better than waiting to die. After all, waiting to die is worse than getting into trouble!"

"This"

Li Youliang was somewhat tempted, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Report to King Changle, an envoy from the Ministry of War is here and is waiting in the hall!"

"Ok?"

Li Youliang frowned and turned to look at Changsun Anye.

But then Changsun Anye said with a half-smile, "It seems that Prince Changle no longer has the trust of His Majesty. The Ministry of War would never dare to rashly send anyone to Liangzhou without His Majesty's order!"

"Oh, stop exaggerating here. I am your majesty's grandfather. Even if I rebel, your majesty won't do anything to me. The Ministry of War is nothing to worry about!"

Li Youliang sneered very confidently, then walked out of the secret room.

Changsun Anye carefully took out a piece of paper and slowly unfolded it. There were a few big words written on it: "Guide to Rebellion Plan".

This "Guide to Rebellion Plan" suddenly appeared in his home before he came to Liangzhou.

When he first saw it, he thought he was seeing things.

Later, he traced the address in the "Guide to the Rebellion Plan" and found the fire mines buried outside the city. Only then did he believe the contents of the "Guide to the Rebellion Plan".

Even though he still didn't know who wrote this 'Rebellion Plan Guide', he achieved twice the result with half the effort by following the plan in it, and he felt like everything in the world was under his control.

For example, Li Youliang, although he is only a small part in the whole plan, he can be controlled firmly by relying on the two questions in the plan.

This feeling is really amazing.

"Perhaps, there is an expert helping us, just like Yang Guang back then. If it weren't for the expert's secret advice, he wouldn't have been able to successfully kill Yang Yong and ascend the throne."

Changsun Anye thought so, and carefully put away the paper in his hand, put it in his arms, and waited quietly for Li Youliang's reply.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Youliang walked in with an embarrassed look on his face, cursing, "I have risked my life for Your Majesty in Liang Province, and he actually believed what outsiders said, saying that I was plotting a rebellion and even sent people to investigate me! This is outrageous!"

"hehe."

Changsun Anye smiled noncommittally and said, "As the saying goes, a kind horse is ridden by others, and a kind person is bullied by others. Prince Changle is just too kind!"

"Humph! If it weren't for the Emperor's honor, I would have gone to Chang'an to cause trouble with Li Shimin!"

"But if the retired emperor also wants to be reinstated, what does Prince Changle want to do?"

"What did you say?"

Li Youliang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he asked, "You're saying the retired emperor also wants to be reinstated?"

Changsun Anye smiled and said, "If the Emperor is unwilling to cooperate, even if we try our best, it will be in vain! So, Prince Changle, don't you understand?"

"This"

Li Youliang was suddenly speechless.

If Li Yuan was behind this, he would understand why. So after a moment of silence, he decisively expressed his loyalty to Li Yuan: "If the retired emperor really wants to restore the throne, I will do my utmost to serve him!"

"it is good!"

Changsun Anye clapped his hands and smiled: "With Prince Changle's words, our great cause is halfway to success! When the time comes, Prince Changle will take the initiative to attack, attracting the attention of Chang'an, and Prince Yi'an will then kill Li Shimin by surprise! Then our great cause will be accomplished!"

"Prince Yi'an's Yuzhou has only a little over ten thousand soldiers and horses, while Chang'an has tens of thousands of troops. How can he be a match for Li Shimin?"

"Hehe, Prince Changle doesn't need to worry about this. With the arrangements made by the Supreme Emperor, how can anything be accomplished without confidence?"

Changsun Anye smiled cunningly, obviously not wanting to reveal all his plans.

Upon hearing this, Li Youliang nodded silently and said nothing more.

And the other side.

After Li Chengqian tricked Li Tai into compiling the "Zhenguan Encyclopedia", he began to trick him with the palace order sign in his hand.

Li Chengqian then laughed and said, "Hasn't Qingque always wanted to know how I mastered those skills? It's actually very simple. Besides reading more, you also need to watch. The more you watch, the more you will understand!"

"But, isn't my royal brother the same as me? You have never left the palace, so how can you see so much and understand so much?" Li Tai asked back with a frown.

Li Chengqian continued with a cheerful smile, "Although my brother has never left the palace, he knows more people than you do! Remember the Prince of Hedong and his friends? Back then, my brother often played with them, and they introduced him to many people outside the palace!"

"The King of Hedong and the others? My brother still remembers them? Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm scared! But they have helped me a lot, so I can't be ungrateful."

"This"

The little fat boy was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he and Li Chengqian were less than two years older, Li Chengqian loved playing with the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but he did not like that because he knew that his father would sooner or later fall out with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. It is clearly stated in the book, but the emperor's brother is confused and is still getting along well with them.

No wonder he was almost scared to death after learning about the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

However, what my royal brother said about reading more and watching more does make some sense.

"So according to your Majesty, do we have to leave the palace?" the little fat man asked tentatively.

Li Chengqian said without hesitation: "That's right! Go outside the palace and see the world outside, so that we can integrate knowledge and action. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles!"

Good guy!
Unity of knowledge and action!

read more, walk more!
How come every random word my royal brother says is like the words of a sage?
The little fat man was shocked by Li Chengqian again.

He couldn't remember how many times he had been shocked, but Li Chengqian's talent was really making him look increasingly inferior.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian gave up the position of crown prince, otherwise, he felt that he would have no chance at all.

However, with the achievement of compiling the "Zhenguan Encyclopedia", he can also be compared with the saints.

Thinking of this, Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian deeply and nodded, "Okay, next time my brother wants to go somewhere, take Qingque with you!"

"Hahaha, Qingque really deserves to be my good brother. No wonder my father always said that my brother is not like me. Qingque encourages him."

"Ah? This"

The little fat man was so shocked by Li Chengqian's words that he was speechless.

At the same time, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin asked Wushe to call Xiao Yu over. One reason was that Feng Deyi had a good relationship with Xiao Yu during his lifetime, and he wanted to ask some questions about Feng Deyi and the kings. The other reason was to remind Xiao Yu not to be ignorant of the current situation.

After all, Xiao Yu is now the Left Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Xiao Yu had not intervened in many of Li Shimin's policies, he was, after all, a veteran minister of martial virtue and a stubborn, old-fashioned person. If something major happened in the future, there was no guarantee he would oppose Li Shimin.

Therefore, arranging Zhangsun Wuji into the Secretariat was like driving a nail into the ground, and he was no longer completely under the control of others.

"Left Pushe, I heard that the last person Feng Deyi saw before his death was you. I wonder what you two talked about?" Li Shimin asked casually.

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, then hesitantly said: "Well, we didn't say much, just some Buddhist things about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!"

"From what I understand, Feng Deyi doesn't seem to believe in Buddhism. Why are you discussing this?"

"This"

"Why, Zuo Pushe still intends to hide this from me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly bowed and said, "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I am truly baffled. That day, Feng Deyi suddenly invited me into his palace. He and I had a long conversation. During that conversation, I mentioned the distress the retired emperor had felt over the disputes between the crown princes!"

"He said he deeply regretted the incident and shouldn't have advised the Emperor to kill His Majesty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous consequence."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked with an expression that was neither happy nor angry: "Is there such a thing?"

"Has your Majesty not heard of it?"

"Ah!"

Li Shimin snorted, then said expressionlessly, "I know he has repeatedly told the Supreme Emperor about my faults, but I have never heard of this incident."

"what?"

Xiao Yu instantly realized that he had been tricked by Li Shimin and could not help but say, "I thought Your Majesty was magnanimous and forgave him!"

Li Shimin said noncommittally, "There are many people who want to kill me, but as long as they are beneficial to the new policy, I will forgive them!"

"Including Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, and Li Sixing"

Having said that, he looked at Xiao Yu meaningfully and continued, "And you!"

Xiao Yu's heart was shocked.

But then Li Shimin said calmly, "Left Sergeant, since the Zhenguan New Deal, there have been many decrees, especially the reduction of the number of kings, which have caused a lot of discussion and rebellion. I estimate that there will be more chaos, and I don't know who will be the next one. Therefore, I hope that Left Sergeant, for the sake of the peace of the court and the tranquility of the country, must clearly distinguish between right and wrong!"

"This"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "I understand."

"Okay, you go first."

Just as Li Shimin was about to order Xiao Yu to leave, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Chu Liang, a scholar from the Hongwen Academy, has an urgent matter to ask to see Your Majesty!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned and looked at Xiao Yu.

Then, he frowned and said, "He's just a Bachelor of Literature. What urgent matter could he have? Let him in!"

"promise!"

The palace attendant agreed and immediately brought Chu Liang to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I, Chu Liang, pay my respects to you!"

As soon as Chu Liang came in, he respectfully bowed to Li Shimin.

But Li Shimin went straight to the point and said, "Tell me, what's the urgent matter?"

"Your Majesty." Chu Liang called Li Shimin softly, and then without saying a word, he handed the records of the two brothers' words to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the thing in his hand with a puzzled look, looked at Xiao Yu, then looked at him again, and then slowly unfolded it.

It only recorded in detail the discussion between the two brothers on the "Zhenguan Encyclopedia". Li Shimin was stunned by it, and finally looked at Chu Liang in disbelief.

"Is this really what they discussed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes. I would never dare to lie to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can go to the Hongwenguan in person. The two princes should still be there!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Great, great, what a great book! If the Tang Dynasty compiled this book, there would be no books in the world!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a major literary event!" Chu Liang also echoed excitedly.

Xiao Yu, standing by, was completely bewildered. "Your Majesty, may I ask what could have caused you to lose your composure like this?"

"This is a major event that benefits both the country and the people!"

Li Shimin smiled and stood up, saying proudly, "If I can accomplish this, my name will go down in history!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go! Set up the Hongwen Academy! Wait! Call my eighteen scholars as well! I want to discuss the book revision with them!"

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Just when Li Shimin was about to leave, Xiao Yu immediately spoke out to stop him.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What else does Zuo Pushe want to say?"

"If Your Majesty were to revise the book, there would be chaos throughout the world!"

Xiao Yu said angrily.

Li Shimin's face darkened, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.
