Chapter 288 Action
Chai Lingwu suddenly realized what Fang Yiai said. He also felt that what Fang Yiai said made sense.
But how should they show this achievement to let King Jin know their ability and believe that they can help him inherit the throne.
"What should we do next?" Chai Lingwu said.
In the past few days, they not only pulled other generals, but also tried to test Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. However, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang would not stand on their side.
At that time, they were scolded by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. Changsun Wuji was okay, but Chu Suiliang seemed more radical.
Should we take down Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other old ministers first, or should we get rid of Li Anyan and other members of the prince's party first?
"Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are both civil officials and do not have military power. In Cuiwei Palace, the only ones who pose a threat to our major events are Li Anyan and others."
"Only after we get rid of Li Anyan and other members of the prince's party and control the imperial guards here, the remaining ministers such as Changsun Wuji will not be a concern."
"By then, even if they are unwilling and unwilling, they will be powerless and can only watch us support King Jin to become emperor." Fang Yiai said.
Chai Lingwu's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and asked: "Do you have any ideas? What should we do? Just tell me, I, Chai Lingwu, will be at your disposal at any time."
"Okay!" Fang Yiai smiled and said, "But this is not the place to talk. After we go back, we will make a detailed plan."
Fang Yiai glanced at Hanfeng Palace with a hint of meaning, and turned back to discuss with Chai Lingwu how to deal with Li Anyan and others, and seize the military power in his hands.
"Tell me quickly, what should we do specifically?" After returning to his residence, Chai Lingwu couldn't wait to know Fang Yiai's plan.
"No hurry, let me drink some water to moisten my throat first, I'm really thirsty." Fang Yiai waved his hand, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a glass of water for him and Chai Lingwu.
After drinking the water, Fang Yiai said, "You should contact Cheng Huailiang, the General of the Right Guard, and ask him to find a reason to gather together Li Anyan and other members of the Crown Prince's party."
"When the time comes, we will set up an ambush in secret, and take them all down in one fell swoop when they are not paying attention."
"Okay! There is no problem with Cheng Huailiang. I am quite familiar with him. I will go and tell him that there is no problem at all." Chai Lingwu said generously. "
Okay! There is no time to waste. You should act immediately. After confirming the location, come to me so that I can arrange the ambush and start tonight." Fang Yiai said.
Chai Lingwu nodded, got up and left to find Cheng Huailiang.
At night, Cheng Huailiang invited Li Anyan and others to drink and came to a side hall of Cuiwei Palace. On weekdays, they would usually come to this place to drink after changing shifts. When
the food and wine were served, Cheng Huailiang kept toasting Li Anyan and others. In the dark, there were ambushes lying in wait for the opportunity to strike.
The leader was the Lieutenant General of the Right Army. He was ordered by Fang Yiai to wait for an opportunity to take action, get rid of Li Anyan and others, and help Chai Lingwu control the imperial army.
To be on the safe side, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu did not show up, fearing that things would be exposed, and leaving a way out for themselves.
They waited for good news in their residence.
The Lieutenant General of the Right Army led the ambushes and quietly approached the side hall. As soon as he approached, he heard the sound of cups breaking from inside.
At first he thought there was a fight going on inside, and when he was about to lead his men in to kill, he heard shouts of killing from behind.
Countless torches appeared in the darkness, illuminating the night. As soon as the Right Army Lieutenant General reacted, countless arrows were shot at them.
"Oh no! We've been tricked!" The Right Army Lieutenant General was shocked! He knew he would probably be trapped here tonight.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, and I'll spare your lives!" Li Anyan strode out, holding a precious sword and roaring.
The Right Army Lieutenant General and his men saw that they were surrounded, and if they didn't surrender, they would only die. When they saw Cheng Huailiang and others standing beside Li Anyan, they realized that they had been betrayed.
The right lieutenant general threw down his weapons first, and the rest of the people threw down their weapons and surrendered, and the situation was completely under control.
"Cheng Huailiang, you are treacherous, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? Your father Cheng Yaojin's fame will be ruined by you." The left lieutenant general said dissatisfiedly.
If Cheng Huailiang hadn't betrayed, it should be Li Anyan and others who would become prisoners now, not them.
"My Cheng family is loyal to His Majesty, how could we be in cahoots with you, a bunch of traitors and villains, and how could we be treacherous." Cheng Huailiang said.
From the beginning, Cheng Huailiang and these people were not the same kind of people.
"I remember that you seemed to follow Prince Pu Li Tai. How come after so many years, Prince Pu still doesn't forget to seize the throne? You want to take the opportunity to establish Prince Pu." Li Anyan looked at the left general and said.
"Don't frame Prince Pu. What we did today has nothing to do with Prince Pu. It's all our own decision." The left general said.
This matter really has nothing to do with Li Tai. It was all planned by Fang Yuai and them. The person they want to establish is not Prince Pu Li Tai, but Prince Jin Li Zhi.
"Take them all away, keep them well, and torture them to find out who is the mastermind behind the tomb!" Li Anyan said.
The imperial guards took these people away for interrogation, but no matter how they interrogated, they insisted that there was no mastermind behind the tomb, and took all the blame on themselves.
Fang Yaoai and Chai Lingwu saw the flames rising to the sky in the distance from their respective residences, and thought that they had succeeded there and Li Anyan and others had been executed.
...
"General, what should we do now? They refuse to confess, so we don't have enough evidence to arrest Fang Yaoai and others. I'm afraid they will find us later." The interrogation was fruitless, so Cheng Huailiang went to ask Li Anyan.
"Now we can only find the assassins. To ensure the safety of Cuiwei Palace, we will temporarily imprison them and not allow them to leave their residences." Li Anyan said.
In order to prevent further chaos, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu had to be detained. After all, these two were the emperor's sons-in-law and the consorts of the Tang Dynasty. They could not be touched casually.
Without sufficient evidence to prove that they were plotting treason, Li Anyan could not do anything to them and could only put them under house arrest.
"I understand! I'll take people to take care of them." Cheng Huailiang said.
"You don't have to go in person! I'll let someone else go. I've already notified His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Cuiwei Palace to preside over the situation." "
It should be about time. You take people to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Anyan said.
"I obey your orders!" Cheng Huailiang withdrew and led a team of imperial guards out of Cuiwei Palace to meet Li Chengqian.
Li Anyan immediately ordered the Cuiwei Palace to be sealed off and the assassin to be captured. At the same time, he prohibited Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and others from leaving their residences. He went to Hanfeng Palace to ask Li Er for instructions.
