Chapter 4 Body in Cao Ying and Heart in Han Dynasty
Cheng Chumo said with red eyes, "Sanlang, the two of us have known each other since we were in Wagang. At that time we rode bamboo horses and carried wooden spears to pretend to be generals and played wars. Later, we went to Luoyang with our parents, and then to Chang'an. Once , I admire Uncle Qin the most. He is the number one hero in my heart. Unexpectedly, now..."
Qin Lang knew that Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were both the confidantes of King Qin Li Shimin, and also the most staunch followers of King Qin during the Xuanwumen Incident, and they were also very active and desperate on the day of the Palace Incident.
Looking at Cheng Chumo's appearance now, they are undoubtedly on the same side as their father, which is very good, and finally found an organization.
"Actually, you all misunderstood me, Aye." Qin Lang whispered.
"What? Misunderstanding? Can there be any misunderstanding? Do you think the crown prince has never bribed our father? The crown prince sent a large cart of gold and silver to General Yuchi, and also to my father, and returned it to General Duan and General Yin. I sent it, but who received it?" Cheng Chumo asked loudly.
Yichi Erhei also followed, "The prince failed to bribe my father, and even sent someone to assassinate him. If the assassination failed, he falsely framed my father and sent him to prison, where he was tortured, but he never said a word."
Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth and stared at Qin Lang, "My father was also framed by the crown prince, and was released by the emperor to be the governor of Kangzhou, but my father was still unmoved and tried his best to stay in the capital, why?" Cheng Chumo was angry Dao, the relationship between the Qin and Cheng families is excellent. Since the Wagang era, Cheng Yaojin has been serving as Qin Qiong's deputy general partner. General Xiang. Back in the Tang Dynasty, when Qin Qiong was the general manager of the horse army, Cheng Yaojin was also his deputy, and they also commanded the Xuanjia army together.
The relationship between the two is really iron and cannot be more iron. But now Qin Qiong wants to turn his back on a group of brothers in Prince Qin's mansion and vote for the prince, how can this not make people angry.
"How can you doubt my father's loyalty to King Qin!" Qin Lang asked in a low voice. Although Qin Qiong really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the prince and King Qin, Qin Lang didn't allow it.
I can only find a way to do something by myself.
"Do you know that the king of Qin is in danger now, as the general of the Qin family, it is natural to continue to stay in the mansion of the king of Qin and fight with the king of Qin, but this is not the fundamental solution to the problem. Besides, the Turkic invasion is now a foreign enemy. , the emperor issued an edict to appoint my father as the marching commander, and it is impossible for my father to refuse in public or private."
"Don't talk, listen to me." Qin Lang didn't let Cheng Chumo interrupt him.
"Furthermore, if we just remain passive as we are now, it's no different from sitting still. We must take the initiative to look for opportunities. My father also took the initiative to look for opportunities for the sake of King Qin and the old brothers in the Qin Palace. The opportunity for the crown prince to win over, pretending to invest in the East Palace, is actually in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han."
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baoqi were dubious about what he said.
"Don't believe me, my father has successfully gained the trust of the prince during this period of time. He took the opportunity to communicate with the East Palace and obtained a very important piece of information, an important piece of information that is related to the life and death of the Qin Palace."
"What information?" Yuchi Baoqi and Cheng Chumo asked anxiously together.
Qin Yong sat on the side, his eyes showed doubts, he was a little confused about the situation in front of him, he was Qin Qiong's adoptive son and family general, he could be called Qin Qiong's confidant, but he didn't know what Qin Lang said.
Qin Lang stopped talking.
"This information is very important. I can't tell it here, and I can't tell you. If I want to tell it, I can only tell it to Uncle Yuchi or Uncle Cheng!"
Cheng Chu was in a hurry, "You tell me, and I'll tell my dad what's different!"
"Of course not."
"Then don't eat it, I'll take you to my house right away, and you tell my father in person." Cheng Chumo was impatient, and his beard stood on end.
Everyone has put all their wealth and lives on the king of Qin, but now the situation is getting worse. My father said more than once that the king of Qin has taken everyone to flee to Luoyang when he is thinking about the crisis, and raised the flag there to raise the flag.
However, the King of Qin is trapped in Chang'an now, so it is not so easy to get out. The Turkic invasion was originally an opportunity. On behalf of the army, he also took the opportunity to transfer the last few generals and some soldiers from the Qin Palace.
"Don't worry, the hump and leg of lamb will be roasted soon, let's eat before leaving." Qin Lang laughed.
Cheng Chumo stood up directly, "You're still eating farts. When I turn around, I'll give you ten camels and one hundred sheep. You can eat as much as you want. It's important to get down to business first."
"Okay, remember what you promised me just now, you owe me ten camels and one hundred sheep." Seeing that he had succeeded, Qin Lang stood up with a smile.
As a time traveler, he is a history buff. He actually knows a little about the famous incident of the Xuanwu Gate in history. He even watched a CCTV documentary, so there are many important and key information in it. There are quite a few of them, and it would be shocking to take out any one.
Originally, he planned to tell Qin Qiong, but seeing Qin Qiong's attitude before, this made Qin Lang not confident, so he might as well act on his own, as long as he used Qin Qiong's name.
After leaving Yuelai Restaurant, Qin Lang deliberately took the impatient Cheng Chumo to visit several shops, and finally bought some clothes and hats, and made some simple disguises.
"We have to play it safe."
Riding a donkey rented by Dongshi, several guys who turned into delivery men from Dongshi shops walked across the street to Cheng Yaojin's mansion.
The Cheng family lives in Huaidefang, which belongs to Chang'an County, close to Xishi Market, and close to Jinguangmen.
Cheng Chumo led Qin Lang and others directly to the side door and entered.
"Is Ah Lang at home?" Cheng Chumo asked as soon as he entered the door.
"A Lang went out to Daxingshan Temple today to burn incense for his wife and just returned. Now he is practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena."
Cheng Chu nodded silently, then hurriedly dragged Qin Lang there.
As soon as he entered the martial arts arena, he saw a sturdy man wielding a Xuanhua axe. The ax was estimated to weigh one hundred and eighty catties. Qin Lang probably used such a heavy axe for strength training rather than actual combat. After all, Cheng Yaojin's best weapon is Zhangba Maqiang, and he is a master of Maqiang.
"Aye, I brought Qin Sanlang here, and he said that there is an important piece of information related to the life and death of the Qin Palace."
Cheng Yaojin slashed down with a fierce axe, and the long-handled heavy ax directly split a round wooden pile in half. He raised his eyelids and saw three people standing behind his son. Although they were wearing short clothes, they were all juniors he knew. Qin Qiong's righteous son Qin Yong, concubine Qin Lang, and Yuchi Jingde's second son Yuchi Baoqi.
"Should Qin Sanlang go to the Zheng family in Pingkangfang to pay respects to the future father-in-law? Why did I come here and still dress like this?" In the words, it revealed that he already knew about the marriage between Qin and Zheng. Even with a bit of dissatisfaction.
Qin Lang knew that this was an expression of his dissatisfaction with his old brother Qin Qiong, but it was hard to explain, so he crossed his hands in salute.
"Uncle Cheng, I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han. I have never forgotten or betrayed those brothers who share life and death. He just found out an important piece of information, so he asked me to come and tell Uncle."
Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and put the heavy ax on his shoulder, "What news?"
Cheng Yaojin is nearly two meters tall, definitely a big guy, especially at this time when he is practicing an ax shirtless, his muscles are bulging, and he has an explosive vision.
Facing this person, Qin Lang didn't hold back, and directly revealed an explosive news.
"The crown prince and the king of Qi conspired. Three days later, the king of Qi swore to set off at Kunming Lake. The crown prince and the king of Qin will go to see him off. At that time, they will take the opportunity to ambush the king of Qin and bury alive all the generals in the palace of the king of Qin. General Yuchi, Uncle Cheng, and Duan Zhixuan and other generals."
Cheng Yaojin was shocked, "How dare they?"
"After they succeed, they will lie to His Majesty that His Highness died suddenly."
"It is impossible to deceive Your Majesty."
"Uncle Cheng, what if His Majesty knows the truth by then? He is already dead!"
Cheng Yaojin was sluggish on the spot.
For a long time, "Your father found out this? Is it reliable?"
"It is absolutely true and absolutely reliable, Uncle Cheng, it is of great importance. Please tell King Qin this news immediately, and ask him to take countermeasures immediately."
Cheng Yaojin clenched his teeth, trembling with anger.
He lifted the heavy axe and smashed it at the martial arts arena, and the place where the hundred-pound Xuanhua ax passed was shattered. , but just refused to listen, if your grandpa hadn’t found out the news, three days later, all of us would have been buried alive.”
"No, I have to see the King of Qin right away, Sanlang, you go with me." Cheng Yaojin also knew that the situation was urgent, and when he went to the swearing-in meeting, there would be a large number of soldiers and horses, and they were all under the control of King Qi. Arranging for one or two groups of cronies to rise up and directly kill King Qin and all the people in Prince Qin's residence, it is really unacceptable every day, the earth is not working, and death is an unjust death.
"Okay, I will go with my uncle to see the King of Qin." Qin Lang felt excited. He had already participated in the important historical event of the Xuanwumen Incident, and might even play an important role.
The most important thing is that as long as he sees Qin Wang Li Shimin, he will tell Li Shimin what he said to Cheng Yaojin just now, and then say that Qin Qiong endured the humiliation and sneaked into the Eastern Palace camp with the scolding of his brothers, trying his best to find out If the important news is not received, then Qin Qiong will naturally return to the King Qin's camp again.
Time is running out, and it is too late to persuade Qin Qiong to join King Qin's camp, so he has no choice but to make a bad move.
"Can Uncle Cheng still meet the King of Qin directly?" Qin Lang asked, Cheng Yaojin had also been transferred out a long time ago. He was originally transferred to the governor of Kangzhou, but Cheng Yaojin found a reason not to go, and then was transferred to his Northern Expedition Army by Li Yuanji Went in, and he will leave Beijing with the army to go north in a few days. He is no longer a member of the staff of Prince Qin's mansion, so there is no reason to see King Qin now, otherwise, it would be a felony to make friends with the vassal.
Cheng Yaojin didn't explain too much, but asked Cheng Chu to silently ask the housekeeper to prepare a lot of sesame oil, candles and money.
"Daxingshan Temple is indeed the largest Buddhist temple in Chang'an. I just burned incense and made a wish in the morning, and my wife's condition has improved in the afternoon. I must send incense candles and money to fulfill my wish."
Qin Lang suddenly understood that Cheng Yaojin probably used the name of burning incense and making a wish to go to Daxingshan Temple to meet with people from Qin Wangfu.
After changing his clothes, Qin Lang pretended to be a servant of Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin's mansion. He followed Cheng Yaojin's horse and walked out of Cheng's mansion to Daxingshan Temple.
Looking up, the Taibaijin star in the sky is still conspicuous, but at this time his heart has changed from worry to excitement, he has taken an important step, the next step is bad or good, it depends on Qin Wang Li Shimin, but he believes that Li Shimin will is the final winner.
Qin Yong, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baoqi all stayed in the Cheng residence, they stood behind the door and watched Qin Lang go away with Cheng Yaojin.
