Chapter 1573 The Three Kings Rebellion!

? Chapter 1573

"I made a slip of the tongue! No matter, no matter, this is all my guessing..."

Li Heng also reacted, his face was pale, and there was a trace of deep fear in his eyes.

He has been familiar with "Historical Remonstrance" and the emperor's mind since he was a child, and he understands the taboo of this matter better than Wang Chong.

It is said that the big emperor brother will rebel, even he himself does not believe it, let alone other people. But there are some words that cannot be said indiscriminately.

"...But I always feel that the atmosphere in the palace is not right, very wrong."

Li Heng's lips trembled, and his whole body showed deep anxiety.

"Wang Chong, you must trust me, this time is really different, you must help me!"

In the last sentence, Li Heng looked up at Wang Chong, his eyes were full of hope, and he pinned all his hopes on it. Every time, when he encountered a huge crisis, it was Wang Chong who appeared in time to help him solve it.

In this world, there seems to be no problem that he cannot solve. So when this happened, the first thing he thought of was Wang Chong.

For Wang Chong, he respects and trusts him extremely!

The room was very quiet, and a needle could be heard. Wang Chong didn't speak, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

He has no doubts about what the fifth prince Li Heng said, but he needs to think about this matter carefully. There are too many unreasonable things in this matter.

"It doesn't make sense. According to memory, the current period of time should be a relatively peaceful period, and nothing happened at all. Moreover, the Holy Emperor is still alive, and the First Prince is also in charge of state affairs. Under normal circumstances, there are no accidents. The next monarch will be He's gone. There's absolutely no need for him to do these things and give people a handle. With his heart, it's completely unreasonable!"

Wang Chong's brows were tightly furrowed, and he couldn't understand it.

After leaving the capital for more than a month, too many things happened. Originally, he thought that what he had to deal with was only the powerful and powerful, just like Li Junxian, who was in full swing, and the Confucianism behind him.

Unexpectedly, now there is another eldest prince.

Moreover, although Li Heng said that the one who did this must be the First Prince, but so far,

There is still no piece of evidence that can prove that the eldest prince Li Ying really did it.

It's useless for Li Heng to stab the court about this matter.

Moreover, Li Heng himself is not convinced that the First Prince imprisoned the Holy Emperor and wanted to rebel, let alone other people.

—He has absolutely no reason to do it!

"wrong!"

In the dark, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and Wang Chong's face suddenly changed as he seemed to think of something. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, a major event that was almost forgotten by him, but almost changed the political map of Datang!

Li Ying is not incapable of rebellion, on the contrary, he is more ambitious than anyone else. It's just that his usual calmness, or the city government, concealed all this.

It made people feel that even if he had such ambition, he would never do it!

Li Heng's reaction, and his own intuitive reaction, are enough to explain everything.

In fact, this thing actually happened in history.

Rebellion of the Three Kings!

At the end of the Sage Emperor period, the Wang family had already fallen, and while fleeing, Wang Chong heard about a major event that shocked the world. The eldest prince Li Ying, the second prince Li Yao, and the third prince Li Ju joined forces to rebel. The failure of the Holy Martial Realm, the later stage of coma, and the chance of the spirit getting worse and worse, launched a coup, intending to replace the Holy Emperor.

In that turmoil, the entire imperial palace was bleeding, and countless ministers were killed and injured. After the coup, almost 100% of the ministers in the court were empty.

This is the last major event that happened at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Although the number of casualties in this event was far less than that of the Battle of the Southwest and the Battle of Talas, its impact was greater than that of the two Great Wars.

The national power of the entire Tang Dynasty was drastically consumed in this coup.

Countless civil and military ministers were killed and injured, and countless aristocratic families were implicated.

The two great wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty had already made the Great Tang Empire extremely weak, and the Rebellion of the Three Kings completely hollowed out this giant.

It was this turmoil that caused no one in the court to take charge of the overall situation, and finally allowed Kang Zhamoushan to take advantage of the vacancy and deal the final blow to this glorious empire.

And after Wang Chong became the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, what he took over was a devastated mess. Even if he tried his best, he could not change the fate of this declining continent.

But in Wang Chong's memory, that incident didn't happen now at all, and the time difference between the two was huge.

So when Wang Chong first heard what Li Heng said, he didn't think about it at all.

"Could it be that because I changed the history of this world, even the Rebellion of the Three Kings will be brought forward?"

Wang Chong's face gradually became extremely dignified.

When the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous, there were more than 100,000 big families in the capital, but the civil strife involved a lot, and almost all the big families were implicated in it.

Li Ying used various means to coerce and lure these aristocratic families one by one, so that after that incident, among the 100,000 aristocratic families in the entire capital, none of them survived.

One can imagine the magnitude of the impact.

The 100,000 aristocratic family not only represented themselves, but also indirectly represented the national strength of the country.

If it was in the past, it would be fine. At that time, I didn’t have enough to eat, and I couldn’t even manage myself well, so I still had the ability to care about these things.

But now, most of the aristocratic families in the capital are tied up with him. In the Southwest War and the Talas War, these aristocratic families made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for Wang Chong to ignore them at all.

They shouldn't have ended up like this anyway.

More importantly, Wang Chong would never allow the Rebellion of the Three Kings to happen again under his nose, so as to completely consume the vitality that the empire had gathered with great difficulty.

"It's just... if it's really that matter, it's a big deal. I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

History has changed, time has changed, Datang's national strength has also changed, and everything has changed. Whether the Rebellion of the Three Kings will continue to develop as it did in history is still unknown.

Past experience is of no help here.

Moreover, the Rebellion of the Three Kings is different from the Battle of the Southwest and the Battle of Talas. There are a lot of news about these two wars in later generations. But the Rebellion of the Three Kings involved the turmoil in the royal family, fratricide, and many secret things that were not understood by outsiders at all.

In fact, no one knew the specific details except the parties involved, and after the incident, Li Heng, who succeeded him, sealed up all the files of the whole matter out of various taboos.

In addition, many participants were slaughtered, so in future generations, apart from the words "Rebellion of the Three Kings", there are only a few of that rebellion that had a great influence. This is why Wang Chong didn't think about it in the first place. .

This is not the only thing that makes Wang Chong hesitate. The Rebellion of the Three Kings is different from the border wars. There are not so many open swords and guns, and there are not so many smokes of war. Many dangers are hidden in places that cannot be seen.

The contest of wisdom, the contest of city government, and the contest of means are far more dangerous than tangible swords.

But without conclusive evidence, without knowing the detailed time node, rashly launching, not only will not solve the problem, but will be thrown into prison and given to others.

At that time, it was probably not just Wang Chong who died, but the entire Wang family and all the people behind it.

The matter is so serious that even Wang Chong has to act cautiously.

"My lord, what did you think of?"

Li Heng had been staring at Wang Chong, and suddenly said.

"Nothing! Leave this matter to me, and I will find a way to deal with it!"

Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses and said.

"In addition, you don't have enough people around you now, and you are in danger at any time. I will send a few people by your side. They are proficient in medicine, divination, and martial arts. If you call them into the palace in the name of guards, they should be able to temporarily protect you. Safety."

The masters Wang Chong talked about were not the guards of the Wang family, but the masters that Wang Chong had gathered in the sect circle before. During the trip to the northwest, apart from meeting the Great Luo Immortal Lord and obtaining the Great Luo Immortal Art, the most important thing for Wang Chong was to gain the followers and approval of many sect warriors.

Although there were not many people who responded to Wang Chong in the sect circle at that time, there were still very few who were willing to follow.

"Um!"

Li Heng nodded heavily, and his mind became much more stable. As long as Wang Chong opened his mouth and intervened in this matter, no matter what kind of danger there was, he would not be too worried.

"The rules in the palace are strict. Brother Dahuang is sending people to watch me at any time. Time is running out. I'm afraid I have to go back quickly."

Li Heng spoke at this moment.

And when Wang Chong left the Chaoge Tower, the power center of the entire Tang Dynasty, in the magnificent Tang Palace, a magnificent hall with golden walls stood majestically, and there were bursts of orchestral sounds from inside.

And at the entrance of the main hall, there are a few large characters on the golden plaque with black background:

Calyx Xianghuilou!

Most of the buildings in the imperial palace are named after the hall, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Taiji, and the Hall of Xingqing... In detail, only this place is named after the word "lou".

This is where the Tang Empire feasted on foreign envoys and guests.

Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, only the Holy Emperor has been using troops abroad to actively expand, and finally expanded the borders of the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented level, and finally made the world become a vassal, and all nations came to the court. Huilou.

But at this moment, the orchestra in Huae Xianghui Building bursts, and the sound of banquets can be heard endlessly.

"Come on, cheers!"

"Respect the eldest prince!"

In the main hall, the palace servants were standing there, chimes were ringing, and the First Prince Li Ying was standing above, raising the wine bottle in his hand. The next moment, in the main hall, bursts of humming sounded. A barbarian with thick body hair, eagle nose and deep eyes immediately stood up one after another, with red faces, toasted to the First Prince Li Ying above the main hall.

Most of the guests who came to this banquet were envoys from various countries, as well as the princes of Dajue, Western Turkic, Western Regions, Dashi, Tiaozhi, and even the princes of Uzang and Mengshezhao.

Such a banquet is already a state banquet according to the identity of the person hosting the banquet.

But in the surrounding area, apart from the maid serving wine and the dancing girl, there was no other ministers, and the door was closed, not even a eunuch in charge of recording.

And as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is not appropriate to come to the Huae Xianghui Building, this is not the place for the prince to come. Even as the regent, he should be accompanied by ministers, which is already against the rules of etiquette.

This is no longer a state banquet, but a private banquet.

"Come on! Let's toast the future emperor of Tang Dynasty together!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Regent is generous and benevolent. In the future, our countries will surely coexist peacefully and prosper each other!"
