Chapter 2486 The Second Xuanwu Gate Incident (Part 1)
Chapter 2483: The Second Xuanwu Gate Incident (Part 1)
Hearing Ban Chao''s words, Li Si nodded calmly. After all, Li Shimin realized that if he didn''t do anything in advance, he would be the one who was dangerous.
Unconsciously, Ban Chao, who entered Chang''an alone and had no power and power, became the dominant leader among the three with the help of the Qin envoy.
Of course, this is the result of Li Si intentionally doing it, after all, his current identity is a bit embarrassing.
As a member of the Li Tang royal family, he was preparing to rebel against Tang and join Qin. If he couldn''t handle it well, Li Si was in a situation where people disliked the dogs, so it was not suitable to be too high-profile.
Pushing Ban Chao to be the chief officer of the Qin army in Chang''an is a good thing for Li Si and Ban Chao, and it is a win-win situation.
Ban Chao obviously knew this, so he didn''t feel embarrassed to seize power.
"Brother Li, how are you doing? Can you ensure that you have another uprising, knocking down Li Tang and occupying Chang''an?" Ban Chao asked.
After contemplating, Li Siluo smiled and said, "There were too many people who died in suppressing the Chang''an family before.
Li Shimin thought that the hidden dangers in the city had been completely eliminated, but he didn''t know that what was exposed was our abandoned son, and his real backhand would only be revealed at the moment he killed him.
This time, Li Shimin''s defeat in Haojing caused many generals and schoolmen who were still swaying to decide to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. As long as this force is gathered together, Li Shimin will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop. ”
"good."
Ban Chao''s eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "When the heroes attacked Dong, Li Shimin was defeated and captured, he was released by His Majesty, but the huge Guanzhong had no place to live. He relied on rebellion to take away Chang''an City from Yang Jian.
Now that we use the same trick again, Li Shimin can also experience what Yang Jian felt at the beginning. ”
Hearing this, Li Si was shocked. The Qin Dynasty was about to re-enact the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which was simply killing people.
"Brother Ban, if we can get another support from someone, our plan will have no future troubles." Li Si said seriously.
"Oh? Who is this person? He has such great energy?" Ban Chao asked in surprise.
Li Si said: "Dong Xiaowan."
"Dong Zhuo''s daughter?"
Ban Chao was even more surprised when he heard this, and said with confusion: "Does this woman have such great influence?"
“Yes, although Dong Zhuo was dead, the generals from the Xiliang group were still there, and they all took great care of Dong Xiaowan.
After Yang Jian became the lord of Guanzhong, in order to win over the Xiliang tribe, he was preparing to forcibly marry Dong Xiaowan to Yang Guang, but was opposed by the former Xiliang tribe generals, so he gave up.
Later, it was also under Dong Xiaowan''s lobbying that the generals of the Xiliang group turned to Li Shimin, otherwise Li Shimin would not have been able to successfully raise an army. ”
"In that case, this woman is an extremely critical figure. Why haven''t you mentioned it before, but you have only mentioned it now?" Ban Chao asked in confusion.
When Li Si heard this, he couldn''t help but smile bitterly: "That''s because Dong Xiaowan has had a past event with His Majesty Qin."
Ban Chao was stunned. He didn''t expect that Dong Xiaowan would be involved in his own emperor, which really surprised him.
Ban Chao is not a gossiper, but he still couldn''t help but eat his own majesty. After listening to Li Si''s speech, he had only one way in his mind, that is, His Majesty the Emperor is so tall.
How did His Majesty the Emperor do it if he could make such a peerless beauty fall in love with her, and even turn against her biological father Dong Zhuo foolishly?
"What a wonderful woman who dares to love and hate."
Ban Chao couldn''t help but sigh, but his own Majesty was obviously sorry for Dong Xiaowan''s kindness in terms of relationships.
But Ban Chao can understand Ying Hao, who made Dong Xiaowan the daughter of Dong Zhuo? If he really married Dong Xiaowan, not to mention the civil and military officials in the court, at least half of the officials would object.
"Li Shimin started his family with the Xiliang army. The Xiliang clan was deeply rooted in the Li Tang Dynasty, and those veterans of the Xiliang clan regarded Dong Xiaowan as their son and nephew." Li Si said.
"In that case, if Dong Xiaowan could stand on our side, the veterans of the Tang army and Xiliang would also stand on our side?" Ban Chao asked.
"That''s right, Dong Xiaowan can influence them." Li Si nodded.
"Since that''s the case, let''s go and contact Dong Xiaowan in person to show my sincerity in Daqin."
Hearing Ban Chao''s words, Yu Huatian said, "Sir Ban, why should you take the risk yourself? Li Shimin already knows that you have escaped from prison and are being arrested in the whole city. Let a spy come into contact with you."
Ban Chao smiled and asked, "No matter how risky you are to contact Dong Xiaowan, is there any risk of going on a mission to Chang''an?
Even Chao dared to break in Chang''an''s dragon and tiger den, so why should he be afraid to contact a woman? ”
Yu Huatian was speechless. He forgot that Ban Chao was a ruthless man who dared to enter Chang''an alone. This little thing should not be considered a risk in the other party''s eyes.
—————
Dong’s Mansion.
Dong Xiaowan dragged her tired body, and the first thing she did after returning home was to fall down on the bed and sleep. After all, there were too many facts that happened during this period.
After witnessing the Chang''an riot with his own eyes, Dong Xiaowan was completely disappointed with Li Shimin. The once wise and powerful brother-in-law finally embarked on the same old path as her father.
He became a slave of power, regarded the people as ants, and turned into Shura, slaughtered all living beings, and eventually became enemies of the world and left a devil for thousands of years.
"Forget it, since Xiuning''s incident, I have not had much expectations for Shimin."
Dong Xiaowan said to herself, then pushed open the door and entered her bedroom.
Just as he stepped into the room, Dong Xiaowan''s face changed instantly. His right hand subconsciously reached behind him, touched the dagger on his waist, and shouted coldly in the corner, "Who?"
"Miss, don''t panic, I have no malice."
Ban Chao walked out of the corner with a gentle smile on his face, but he failed to dispel Dong Xiaowan''s vigilance.
"Stop, don''t get closer, who are you?"
Dong Xiaowan said in a cold voice, her eyes full of murderous intent. If Ban Chao didn''t tell the truth, he would kill him with one sword.
After seeing Dong Xiaowan''s appearance clearly, Ban Chao''s eyes were full of stunning expressions.
This is too beautiful, much more beautiful than his sister. His Majesty can refuse such a stunning emperor. How could he bear it?
Ban Chao''s sister Ban Zhao is a famous beauty in Liangzhou and is also on the list of famous talented women. She is a peerless beauty with both talent and beauty.
Ban Chao thinks that Dong Xiaowan is more beautiful than her sister. It’s not that Ban Chao is really ugly than Dong Xiaowan, but that Ban Chao has grown up with his sister since he was a child and has long been aesthetically fatigued, so he will be amazed when he sees Dong Xiaowan.
No matter how beautiful the elder sister and the younger sister are, most of the brothers still dislike each other. After all, no matter how beautiful they are, it has nothing to do with them.
Ban Chao was not a lustful person, so he quickly calmed down and asked calmly: "Miss, why not guess?" "Are you from Daqin?"
"Miss is indeed smart. Ban Chao, the envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty, has met Miss Dong."
As he said that, Ban Chao bowed and bowed to Dong Xiaowan.
"Ban Chao? It''s you."
Dong Xiaowan inserted the dagger back into the sheath and said coldly: "Sir, you are so brave. You have entered Chang''an alone, which is a tiger den, and you have been imprisoned but can still stir up the storm. There should be a merit for you, Mr., in the Chang''an tragedy."
When saying this, Dong Xiaowan was still resentful. She felt that it was because of Ban Chao''s poor ability, and she was not strict in planning and leaked news. This led to the failure of the aristocratic family to raise an army and one-seventh of the population in Chang''an was slaughtered.
If Daqin sent someone with strong abilities, he might be able to directly take over Chang''an City in the last rebellion, so naturally there would be no need to die so many people.
What about this top scorer? The candid is almost the same. Dong Xiaowan said in her heart.
Ban Chao didn''t know what Dong Xiaowan was thinking. After hearing this, he thought the other party had seen something and decisively denied:
"Miss, I''m wrongly accusing Ban Chao. Ban Chao is just a literati. How could he have such great skills? Who would have thought..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dong Xiaowan.
"If you have a little more skill, you won''t have to die. What did Li Jing think? He sent you like a fool to Chang''an?"
Dong Xiaowan was straightforward and did not give Ban Chao any face. She said in front of her that Ban Chao was a "scam" and stunned Ban Chao.
He thought Dong Xiaowan had seen something. After all, the Chang''an tragedy had too much impact, and he didn''t want to have any connection, but he didn''t expect that he had thought too much after a long time.
Yes, Dong Xiaowan is just a woman, so how could she see the inside story of the Chang''an tragedy?
"I''m ashamed."
Ban Chao bowed again.
"Tell me, why are you here to come and do it?"
As he said that, Dong Xiaowan pulled a chair and sat down, stared at Ban Chao with a scrutiny look on his face, and said, "Li Shimin is wanting you in the whole city. If you just want to hide from me, I can barely take you in."
For his sake. Dong Xiaowan said in her heart.
"Well, I came not to avoid wanting, but to save the lives of the Miss and the generals of Xiliang."
"hehe."
Dong Xiaowan sneered immediately after hearing this.
What a familiar word. Li Shimin fooled her like this, but after he really got the matter, he did not fulfill any promises to her, but instead led the Xiliang army to a dead end.
Ying Hao''s unfaithful man fooled her, Li Shimin, a hypocrite fooled her, but now a small Ban Chao wants to fool her with the same reason.
After so much, she is no longer the foolish Bai Tian who was deceived by others. If she was deceived by the same reason, her name would be written reversely.
"I am very good. I don''t need you to save you, let alone you can''t protect yourself now." Dong Xiaowan said lightly.
"It seems that Miss Dong, you know nothing about the situation in Chang''an."
After saying that, Ban Chao asked, "Do you know why Li Shimin defended the lonely city of Chang''an when all four levels were broken?"
"Of course, we are waiting for reinforcements from the three kingdoms of Shu, Chu, Sui," said Dong Xiaowan.
"When the reinforcements of the Three Kingdoms arrive, can we regain the fourth pass and support Chang''an?" Ban Chao asked again.
Dong Xiaowan couldn''t help but be stunned.
Yes, even if the reinforcements from the Three Kingdoms arrived, they might not be able to regain Sanguan and Xiaoguan. Chang''an is still an isolated city. So why did Li Shimin defend Chang''an to the death?
Dong Xiaowan was puzzled by this.
Ban Chao sneered and explained to him: "That''s because as long as Chang''an is not broken, the Qin army will definitely attack until the city is broken.
Li Shimin wanted to use Chang''an City Defense to weaken the Qin army''s troops, but in order to achieve this goal, he had completely used any means.
In order to eliminate the hidden dangers in Chang''an City, he forced the aristocratic families to rebel and thus slaughtered all the aristocratic families in the city gate.
All Tang troops in Chang''an City, including the former Xiliang Army, will be Li Shimin''s abandoned sons.
After Li Shimin''s goal was achieved, he could escape under Li Yuanba''s escort, but the soldiers had turned into dead bones. ”
“Hiss…”
Dong Xiaowan immediately took a breath when she heard this. She was obviously scared by Ban Chao''s words, and she never expected Li Shimin to do this.
Seeing Dong Xiaowan''s expression, Ban Chao knew that the other party had believed it, so he rang the railway while it was hot:
"There are still many veterans of the former Xiliang Army in the Tang army in Chang''an City. They regard you as your son and nephew, and you are also them as their uncles. Do you really have the heart to watch them die?
Hearing this, Dong Xiaowan suddenly became a little anxious.
She naturally knew that Chang''an was captured by the Qin army, but it was just a matter of time.
After the Qin army broke through the city, the former general of the Xiliang army could naturally surrender to Qin, and she would also surrender to Qin Yinghao.
But she didn''t expect that Li Shimin was preparing to sacrifice the Tang army in Guanzhong to weaken the Qin army from the beginning.
If this is true, then Li Shimin is already crazy, even more crazy than her father Dong Zhuo.
Although her father Dong Zhuo was also crazy, he still treated his own people very well. Otherwise, there would not be so many Xiliang generals who took care of her for so many years after Dong Zhuo''s death.
But Li Shimin now doesn''t even let go of his own people, which is completely crazy.
Dong Xiaowan looked back at Li Shimin’s actions over the years, imprisoning his own sister, using his nephew in exchange for peace... slaughtering 100,000 civilians from Chang''an families and so on.
Which of these things can be done by humans? But Li Shimin just did it all.
He can even do these things, and what else is there that he dare not do?
As soon as he thought about this, Dong Xiaowan couldn''t sit still for a moment. After pondering for a long time, he spoke, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Ban Chao was immediately ecstatic because he knew that Dong Xiaowan had been persuaded by him.
Ban Chao smiled slightly and replied, "I don''t want to do anything, I just let Li Shimin experience Yang Jian''s feelings."
"you…"
Dong Xiaowan showed surprise. She had always regarded Ban Chao as a fool before, but now judging from the other party''s performance, she seems to be an incompetent person.
