Chapter 2 Hegan Chengji

But before that, he must do everything he can to stop the impending crisis.

But... what should he do to resolve the impending crisis?

Now he is like standing on the edge of a cliff. With just a slight push, he will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

To escape from the current danger, he must take a step forward first, so that he can win time to breathe and have enough time to turn the tables.

To take this crucial step forward, he must start with two people. The two of them are the key to Li Chengqian's turnaround.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at the west wall. On the other side of the wall was the imperial palace, also known as the inner palace.

At this time, Li Chengqian could even hear the light footsteps of the imperial guards patrolling the other side of the wall.

"My dear!" Wang Quan trotted to Li Chengqian's side and called softly.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked without turning his head.

"Report, Qi Wangyou raised an army in Qizhou to rebel, and His Majesty was furious when he learned about it." Wang Quan said.

"Have the Duke of Ying and the Minister of Justice entered the palace?" Li Chengqian asked.

To quell Li You's rebellion, Li Er asked the Duke of Ying Li Yu, who was actually the Minister of War, and the Minister of Justice Liu Dewei to send the Kyushu Prefecture troops to attack Li You.

Wang Quan stood there in a daze. He hadn't said anything yet. How did the prince know that these two had entered the palace?

"My dear, just now His Majesty sent someone to invite Lord Li and Minister Liu to the palace. Now they should discuss the rebellion with His Majesty." Wang Quan said.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and exhaled gently. In his previous life, he had just traveled through time and happened to encounter the rebellion of Prince Qi Li You.

In March of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Prince Qi Li You, under the deception of his trusted confidants Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang, first shot and killed the chief historian Quan Wanji assigned to him by Li Er.

In this way, he could only go down one road, so he rose up and started a rebellion.

Upon learning that Li You was plotting a rebellion, Li Er was naturally furious. He not only wrote an imperial edict to accuse Li You, but also asked the Minister of War Li Ji to mobilize the soldiers of Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, and Hai Prefectures to suppress the rebellion together with the Minister of Punishment Liu Dewei.

Li You had been the King of Qi for so many years, but he was not popular at all. Not only did his subordinates not listen to him, but even his military officer Du Xingmin and others were plotting to capture Li You alive.

Li You and others were drinking and having fun every day. When they were drunk, they talked about the imperial army. Yan Hongliang boasted to Li You: "Don't worry! Drink with your right hand and flick it with your left hand."

Such nonsense would definitely not be believed by ordinary people, but Li You, a fool, believed it to be true.

It's no wonder that his men were unwilling to rebel with him. Who would be willing to risk their lives to follow such an idiot to die?

Before Li Yan's army arrived in Qizhou, Li You was captured alive by Du Xingmin and others and escorted to Chang'an to await Li Er's decision. A rebellion was easily resolved.

In fact, all this was done by Li You's uncle Yin Hongzhi behind the scenes.

Yin Hongzhi was willing to sacrifice his own nephew Li You, in fact, to avenge the Li family.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the grievances and hatreds between the Yin and Li families!

At that time, Li Chengqian's grandfather, Gaozu Li Yuan, started an army in Taiyuan, and the Sui Dynasty general who stayed in Chang'an at that time was Yin Hongzhi's father Yin Shishi.

Yin Shishi not only killed Li Yuan's fifth son Li Zhiyun, but also dug up Li Yuan's ancestral tomb and demolished the family temple. After

Chang'an City was captured, Li Yuan was furious and ordered the extermination of Yin Shishi and his accomplices. In order to show his kindness, Li Yuan spared the young Yin Hongzhi and Yin's siblings.

At the same time, Li Yuan even gave Yin Hongzhi's sister Yin to Li Er, who was still the King of Qin at the time, as a concubine.

The reason why they were not killed was that they were still young and might not remember the hatred between the two families.

Secondly, they hoped to dispel the hatred between the two families through marriage. Thirdly

, it could also show the magnanimity of the old Li family and take the opportunity to win people's hearts. Even the children of the enemy could be spared, so who else could not be tolerated?

Who knew that Yin Hongzhi, this guy, didn't buy it at all, and kept this grudge in his heart.

Confucius said: "The hatred of my father is irreconcilable."

Even Confucius said that the hatred of my father is irreconcilable, so how could Yin Hongzhi forget the hatred of his father's murder?

However, all Yin Hongzhi's plans were destined to go down the drain.

Li Chengqian was a little upset at this time! There was not much time left for him. It would take no more than one month from the rebellion of Li You, the Prince of Qi, to his execution.

If he could not find a solution within this period of time, history would return to its original track.

The case of Li You, the Prince of Qi, would definitely involve his loyalist Hegan Chengji, and he would eventually be exiled to Qianzhou and die in depression.

A man came to Li Chengqian not far away and saluted, saying, "Hegan Chengji has met the prince."

Li Chengqian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned around and stared at the man in front of him. He was one of the key figures in Li Chengqian's turnaround.

A familiar face appeared in his mind.

The reason why Chang'an City was breached so quickly by the army of the princes in the previous life was that this man in front of him opened the city gate and led the army of the princes into the city.

Hegan Chengji, you traitor!

Li Chengqian wanted to tear him into pieces right now, but now was not the time.

In the dark, there were countless eyes staring at him, Li Chengqian, wanting to catch his mistake and send him to hell, so that he would never have a chance to turn the tables.

If Hegan Chengji is killed now, if someone stands up and reports him for brutal murder in front of Li Er,

Li Er might make up his mind to abolish his position as the crown prince. After all, a country cannot be handed over to a cruel person.

It is not worth it to put yourself in an irretrievable situation for a traitor.

Speaking of Hegan Chengji, he was the leader of Li Chengqian's death squad and secretly colluded with Yin Hongzhi.

Later, Qi Wang Li You was escorted to Beijing, and under severe torture, he confessed that Hegan Chengji was a traitor.

In order to keep his glory and wealth, he sold the crown prince without hesitation and reported Li Chengqian's rebellion to Li Er.

This made Li Chengqian fail! Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, Zhao Jie and others were executed, and Li Chengqian was exiled to Qianzhou.

Because Hegan Chengji had made meritorious contributions in reporting the prince's rebellion, he was appointed as the commander of Youchuan Prefecture by Li Er and was granted the title of Duke of Pingji County.

It can be said that Hegan Chengji rose to prominence by stepping on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian calmed down his anger, pointed at the Da'nei and said to Hegan Chengji: "Chengji, the west wall of my East Palace is exactly twenty steps away from the Da'nei. How can the King of Qi compare with me in planning major events?

" "Your Highness is absolutely right! "Hegan Chengji said.

Li Chengqian secretly observed Hegan Chengji's expression. Hegan Chengji had no expression on his face, and Li Chengqian could not read his inner thoughts from his face.

But this did not prevent him from wanting to kill Hegan Chengji. As long as Hegan Chengji was alive, he still could not escape the cycle of fate.
