Chapter 599: Li Er made a mistake and went straight to Huanglong
Wei Ting's bow to Tang Jiahui gave Tang Jiahui the greatest encouragement of his vanity, so Tang Jiahui went to find Li Menglong the next day. Originally, Li Menglong didn't want to pay attention to Tang Jiahui.
Because for the Lotus Society, Tang Jiahui is just a small fish, that is, it is a use of it.
However, because Tang Jiahui was too anxious, Li Menglong replied, "This reply is not important, and he actually caught Wei Ting, the big fish.
................
"Young Master...Wei Ting wants our strength."
"What did you say..." Changsun Minsheng, who was sitting in the study, suddenly stood up from the chair: "Wei family, Wei Ting, Minister of Justice Wei Ting?"
Looking at the excited Changsun Minsheng, Li Menglong nodded with a smile and said, "It's him... Just yesterday Wei Ting found Tang Jiahui and wanted to contact us through Tang Jiahui."
"Oh...is it reliable? How did he know that Tang Jia would have something to do with us?" Changsun Minsheng asked cautiously.
"That's right... Wei Ting didn't know that we were behind Tang Jiahui. He just knew that there was a force behind Tang Jiahui. This was because the last time we wanted to use Tang Jiahui to cheat Li Zhan, Tang Jiahui found Wei Ting.
But unfortunately, Wei Ting did not agree."
Finally, Changsun Minsheng smiled and said, "Now the Wei family is in trouble... Li Shimin wants to cut off the Wei family's military power, although the military power has long been held tightly in Li Shimin's hands.
However, there are still many people in the Wei family who are stationed in the Tang army. If they are all cleared this time.
Then the Wei family will inevitably be in trouble, so the Wei family is anxious, and Wei Ting is also anxious. They need allies, so they are so anxious to find us."
"What does that young master mean..." Li Menglong asked at Changsun Minsheng.
"Go to form an alliance... Now the Wei family is in a hurry to seek medical treatment. We want to give the Wei family some ruthless suggestions and send them to Li Shimin directly...!" At this point, Changsun Minsheng laughed.
...................................................................
Soon, according to Changsun Minsheng's request, Li Menglong came to Chang'an again to join Wei Ting. You must know that Wei Ting is also an old man, and his control over people's hearts is really stronger than Li Zhan.
After Wei Ting and Li Menglong met, they fell in love with each other. Both of them thought they met too late.
At the beginning, the two of them didn't say anything about them at all, but instead kept talking about the love and love.
On the third day of meeting, the two of them played polo intimately together, and Wei Ting also introduced Li Menglong to many people from aristocratic families, because polo was considered a noble game in the Tang Dynasty.
This hit Li Menglong's heart, because the biggest dream of the Lotus Club is to enter the aristocratic family.
In this way, Wei Ting and Li Menglong began to be inseparable, but what both sides didn't know was that both sides were actually acting, and Li Menglong's acting skills were a little worse because he had completely believed Wei Ting, but Wei Ting did not believe him.
On the other hand, Li Shimin was not idle either. After all, he had to do a full set of acting. Li Shimin began to attack the Wei family. First, he prohibited the Wei family from participating in the imperial examination within three years, and secondly, he was transferred one by one by one by the generals who had a relationship with the Wei family.
The biggest signal is that the major nobles began to sever their ties with the Wei family. Although this time it was fake, the Wei family had enough favors, and this also made them understand that no matter how powerful their family was, they could not fight against the royal family and Li Shimin.
Today is a rainy day. The rainy day in Chang'an City was originally muddy, but now the cement roads are covered with all over the city, so there is no mud in Chang'an City now.
A carriage was parked in front of a restaurant. This restaurant is very famous, most famous for its tail-burning banquet.
It was mainly a banquet for ministers in the Tang Dynasty to present food to the emperor in order to thank and win favor with the emperor when they were first promoted to officials or promoted.
There are several dishes that are very famous, and the first one is called Huaruannii.
Judging from the name of the dish, this dish seems to have nothing to do with sheep, but according to records, it is made of sheep bone marrow and other auxiliary ingredients as raw materials, blended into filling and then put into beef intestines, similar to foods like our sausages today.
There is also a recipe for sheep lung soup... It is a tonic made of sheep lungs. It is cut into a sheep lungs and then cooked with a handful of scallion and bean sauce. It should be a tonic made of sheep internal organs that were popular at that time.
Some of these dishes are exquisite dishes that royal nobles usually enjoy, some are eaten by literati when they are entertained by guests, and some are eaten by ordinary people during sacrifices and festivals.
When he walked into the restaurant's private room, Wei Ting saw Li Menglong. When he saw Wei Ting, Li Menglong warmly greeted him. But what surprised Li Menglong was that Wei Ting looked unhappy today.
After both sides sat down, Li Menglong asked Wei Ting with some concern what happened. Wei Ting sighed slightly and told Li Menglong: "Menglong... I'm leaving Chang'an. The Wei family was killed by His Majesty to warn the monkey. I was implicated because I had something to do with this matter... and now the family is already in a mess and there is no way to reverse it, so I can only choose to leave."
After Wei Ting finished speaking, Li Menglong's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Wei, Fang is not convenient to tell me, what is the situation of the Wei family now?"
"It's a mess..." Wei Ting looked at Li Menglong and said, "Menglong, you and I don't hide it. In fact, when we were able to meet you, the Wei family was at the end of their strength and wanted to find foreign aid, but I'm sorry, you guys, I'm sorry.
Now, needless to say, the Wei family failed and was about to withdraw. Li Shimin was too cruel and directly blocked the relationship between the Wei family and the Wei family in the army. At this time, the Wei family was worried that Li Shimin would soon use the army to deal with us and give us a crime that was to be accused of, which was something that the Wei family could not afford."
"This Li Shimin...!" Li Menglong on the side also showed an angry expression.
"Hey...!" Wei Ting sighed and said again: "Who told him to be the emperor...come...come...eat food. After this meal, I'm leaving. Menglong, there will be a period in the future. Take care of me."
Following Wei Ting, he wanted to reach out to eat with chopsticks.
But at this moment, Li Menglong blocked Wei Ting's chopsticks and said, "Mr. Wei, wait a moment..."
"Ah..." Wei Ting looked at Li Menglong beside him in a slight daze.
Li Menglong said: "Actually, there is another idea."
"Do you have an idea?" Wei Ting looked at Li Menglong excitedly and said, "Then you tell me quickly, I really want to know."
At this time, Li Menglong smiled and said, "It's very simple. Li Shimin did not remove someone from the Wei family from military relations. He wants to undermine the Wei family, okay... I can do something near the garrison of the Wei family's related people.
In this way, Li Shimin cannot give Wei's generals a one-size-fits-all approach...!"
"Hiss..." Li Menglong's words made Wei Ting excitedly: "This is awesome, but Brother Menglong, do you really have so many people to help us?"
Li Menglong smiled and said, "Don't worry... No problem, Mr. Wei, I'm going to tell you, my backstage is actually quite tough, you don't need to worry about everything, but you also have to communicate with your own family and don't really fight with us."
"Okay...!" Wei Ting nodded repeatedly, then raised a glass of wine and smiled: "Brother, if the Wei family can escape this disaster this time, it depends on the performance of my Wei family. Without further ado, let's do it first."
As he raised his head, Wei Ting drank the wine completely, and then the two men who were acting showed a knowing smile.
But two men who originally had a sympathy left the restaurant, each got on the carriage and ran towards their boss. Wei Ting went to find Li Shimin and Li Menglong went to find Changsun Minsheng.
Soon, the two sides began to fight wits.
Changsun Minsheng thought that he could use the opportunity to stand up for the Wei family and use a large number of auxiliary soldiers to restrain all the war soldiers related to the Wei family in the Tang Dynasty. This business is very cost-effective.
And more importantly, it can also gain the trust of the Wei family.
So the next day, the Lotus Society started to cause trouble, and this trouble would inevitably reveal the existence of the Lotus Society. It was just that because the benefits of this incident outweighed the disadvantages, Changsun Minsheng did not take it into consideration.
But what Changsun Minsheng didn't expect was that this incident happened.
That is, Li Shimin did not stop depriving power from the Wei family. Although the Wei family's place was not only in chaos, but also in chaos, if a normal person, he would basically stop depriving power, so in this way, he would seek stability.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin did not seek stability, but directly drew troops from Chang'an City to quell the rebellion.
Li Menglong was in chaos at this moment, and asked immediately if the matter was settled, because the army Li Shimin drew would really kill the auxiliary soldiers and members of the Lotus Society.
But after Li Menglong finished speaking, Changsun Minsheng on the side laughed and said, "So what..."
"Ah..." Li Menglong didn't know what Changsun Minsheng meant, so he listened to Changsun Minsheng's words: "Aren't those Lotus Clubs just used to die... There is nothing wrong with it, it's okay to die, as long as it's valuable.
I want to use these Lotus Club members to drag Li Shimin's war soldiers.
Follow me and go straight to Huanglong... Chang'an is mine...!"
Finally, Li Menglong knew what Changsun Minsheng meant. Li Shimin made a loophole for himself, that is, if Li Shimin sent troops out of the city, the city general would be empty for a while.
At this time, it was Changsun Minsheng's chance. Originally, 50,000 elite soldiers were going to attack Chang'an, which was actually a little less. However, if Li Shimin called out his Chang'an generals and then Changsun Minsheng and Yang Sizhe were combined into one, it would be really troublesome.
But was it really Li Shimin's mistake to mobilize troops out of the city this time? You know, an emperor like Li Shimin, has never made such a low-level mistake.
