The hot wind outside Xingqing Palace was continuous, but Chen Xuanli was blown and shivered. The attitude of the Son of Heaven is very strange, it is said that this kind of thing has its own precedent and can be used, but he even excluded the forbidden army of Yu Linwei, and the situation may be much more serious than he imagined before.

Chen Xuanli has been up and down in the sea for fifty years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, he has already keenly smelled that the emotions and reactions of the Son of Heaven are very abnormal. But what can he do, it can only be to have a life and serve death. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xuanli has been able to stand in officialdom for more than 40 years without falling.

An hour later, the edict of the Son of Heaven left the Xingqing Palace, and the Shenwu Army and Yulinwei both handed over their respective defenses, and all returned to the Forbidden Garden, and sent them after listening. The Longwu Army, which had always been very low-key among the three armies of the Northern Ya, took over the city defense of the Nannei and Chang'an gates at this time.

This series of unusual actions caught the vast majority of people in Chang'an City off guard.

In Yanxing Gate, Hu Shang's horse team was blocked into a long slip.

All kinds of Hu merchants kept complaining that if the date of leaving the city was delayed, how much money would be lost for this trip.

However, the forbidden army that took over the city's defenses did not accept this set, and whoever was within a foot of the city gate would face each other with their swords.

"It's not a curfew now, how can I close the door?"

Seeing that the sun in the sky is still very bright, even if the afternoon passes quickly, it will not be time for the curfew to close the door.

Faced with the questions of the merchants, the brigade leader who was responsible for guarding the city gate had to take the trouble to explain, "The military order issued from above, the city gate will not be opened today, it will be scattered, disperse!"

The people in Chang'an City couldn't get out, and the people outside the city couldn't get in, and there were complaints everywhere. But unlike the common people, the officials found a hint of unusual taste in this unusual disposition.

At that time, the Son of Heaven did not announce the news that he was here during the nap in Xingqing Palace, and the officials could only speculate from the fact that both Shenwu Jun and Yulinwei were deprived of the right to defend themselves, and there must have been a big incident in the palace ban.

Although Li Longji deliberately blocked the news, paper can never contain the fire, and someone always found out the real reason for today's change through layers of relationships.

The Son of Heaven is assassinated!

This news spread quickly like a spark in the prairie fire, and it only took half a day and a night from the court to the market, and it was already known to everyone.

When Du Fu and Wei Ji learned the news, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. But then, they thought of the fact that Princess Huo and Princess Changshan entered Xingqing Palace at noon yesterday.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the time of the assassination of the Son of Heaven and the time when the two princesses entered the palace should also be in front of the feet and behind the feet.

"Mo Huchai, the two princesses, one is the same sister of the Son of Heaven and the other is the biological daughter of the Son of Heaven, how can they sit down for such a rebellious thing?"

Wei Ji denied some of Du Fu's unrealistic speculations, but he also felt that some of the coincidences were suspicious.

Du Fu sighed and said: "Brother Wei is not wrong to be cautious, I just said that the real trouble, Zhonglang will be seized of power!"

The errand of the Shenwu Army in charge of the defense of each gate was taken over by the Long Wu Army, and it seemed that it was deliberately targeting Qin Jin.

Wei Ji felt that this was just a routine.

"Isn't Yu Linwei's errand also taken over by Long Wujun? Besides, General Zhonglang is still sitting firmly on the construction site, and I don't see him in the slightest hurry?"

But even Wei Ji felt that this was a bit far-fetched, and he was in a hurry? Is it useful to be in a hurry? If he is in a hurry, he will be in trouble! But what can he do? Now that things are in a hurry, everything can only wait and see.

It has been rumored that the Son of Heaven was assassinated since Tianming, and Du Fu and Wei Ji have also heard this statement, but both of them will be suspicious, after all, the official news in the palace has not yet come out, and it is understandable that all kinds of fake news are rampant. But the two of them unanimously hoped that this was false news, and if it was confirmed to be true, they were afraid that the Son of Heaven would not give up if he didn't kill a few people.

Chen Xuanli was in Chang'an City for three days and found nothing. Li Longji was furious and scolded Chen Xuanli to a bloody end.

The Son of Heaven was so angry, which had not been seen in more than 40 years, and the Son of Heaven had always tried to show the world his generous and benevolent side, let alone give the minister a face-to-face appearance. Now that the Son of Heaven has blatantly violated his habits, it shows how angry he must have been, or rather to hide his fear with anger.

"Sage, the slave maid saw Li Zhenren today, and I heard him say that there seems to be something strange in the west of the south, maybe, maybe ......"

Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he suddenly glared at Cheng Yuanzhen, who was speaking cautiously.

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe it's because I'm tired of shooting couples...... I don't know......"

When Cheng Yuanzhen spoke, the beads of sweat on his sideburns could not be suppressed, and they rolled down crackling. At this time, in the hall, even if a needle fell on the ground, it could be heard clearly.

Li Longji was stunned suddenly, his face was gloomy as if the black clouds were dense before a thunderstorm, and after a long time, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:

"Spread Li Xuanren!"

This Li Xuanren is a Taoist priest from Shuzhong, who is said to have a lot of magic power and is quite capable of arguing, and he is deeply favored by Li Longji.

Soon, Li Longji retired from everyone in the hall, including Cheng Yuanzhen, and there were only two people in the entire hall, the Son of Heaven and Li Xuanren.

After standing for a long time, Li Longji slowly spoke: "Li Zhenren, now there are only you and me, you might as well say it directly, I was assassinated a few days ago, who caused it?" As soon as the words came out, Li Longji felt that it was extremely ridiculous, did he actually ask God to ask for divination about such things? But he was getting older and older, and in order to be able to live forever, he had to let go of the solipsism of the Son of Heaven and submit to the gods and monsters.

Li Xuanren stared at the Son of Heaven for a while, then stepped forward and took two steps forward, and asked with concern: "Can the saint have the slightest symptom of being unable to move his body when he is about to wake up?"

After hearing this, Li Longji was shocked, and there was a sense of crisis that his privacy was being watched, which was just a little embarrassing for ordinary people, and for a heavenly son who was extremely powerful, it brought an unspeakable fear.

Li Xuanren didn't wait for the Son of Heaven to answer, so he said to himself, speaking quickly and strangely: "If the saint has such symptoms, it may be caused by disgust with victory. From the time he entered the palace, Xiaodao felt that there seemed to be a faint black cloud in the south and west of the sky, but once he got close, there was no trace, and he originally wanted to investigate for a few days, and then report to the saint after the results, but he didn't want to have such an evil thing......"

Li Longji clenched his fists, and Li Xuanren couldn't listen to what he said later. Today's reminder from Li Xuanren also made the old Son of Heaven aware of the strange place, there were eunuchs guarding the door around the palace that day, even if the assassin had the ability to escape from heaven and earth, he would not disappear without a trace immediately.

He had also wondered if it was a hallucination in his sleep, but there was a real blood mark on the palm of his hand, which was cut by a sharp weapon.

In the past few days, Li Longji has been puzzled, and after listening to Li Xuanren's words today, he immediately suddenly opened up, yes, except for being tired of shooting couples, there can be no such strange effect.

However, this thought made Li Longji even break out in a cold sweat.

Li Longji was an emperor who had studied poetry and books and was proficient in history, and the situation he was facing at this time reminded him of the tragedy in the second year of Emperor Wu's expedition to the Han Dynasty.

In the past, when he read that passage, he didn't think that Liu Che had listened to the instigation of Jiang Chong and others to kill the prince's party. The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ruthless and ruthless was that the Wei family had already had the intention of coercing the prince to rebel, and if he did not kill the killer, he would definitely suffer from it.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, those who are the Son of Heaven have only great benevolence and righteousness, and never small benevolence and small righteousness. The so-called great benevolence is not benevolent, this is the principle.

"Saints, saints......"

Cheng Yuanzhen's voice called him in his ear several times, and Li Longji came back to his senses.

Looking at the hall again, there were only two people, him and Cheng Yuanzhen, and Li Xuanren had left without knowing when

"What about Li Zhenren?"

Cheng Yuanzhen replied: "Back to the sage's words, Li Zhenren said that the sage has an unresolved matter in his heart, and he, he is inconvenient to disturb from the side. ”

A trace of killing intent suddenly appeared in Li Longji's eyes, Cheng Yuanzhen keenly captured this, and couldn't help but shudder, but when he looked at it again, that trace of killing intent was gone, and he thought that he had an illusion again.

"Got it, let's go down!"

Cheng Yuanzhen had no choice but to walk out of the hall in disgrace.

Li Longji stood still for a long time, and suddenly dressed lightly, quietly went out of Nannei, and went straight to Yongjiafang, where the house he gave to Gao Lishi was in the fang.

Gao Lishi's condition has gradually improved after a period of recuperation, and he suddenly saw the Son of Heaven coming to visit, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The old slave was blessed by the saint and did not abandon ......"

Before he could say a word, tears rolled down like beads with broken threads.

After whimpering for a while, Gao Lishi's mood was calmed down, of course, there was the touching of Li Longji's trust, and there was also the mourning for the tragic death of his nephew.

Li Longji retreated from everyone, waited for Gao Lishi to calm down, and suddenly said, "I plan to kill someone!"

"Who?"

Colliers was taken aback for no reason, although the Son of Heaven was willful, he had never acted in such a conspiracy.

I only heard Li Longji squeeze out three words from between his teeth.

"Li Xuanren!"

When Gao Lishi heard that it was this person, he couldn't help but feel relieved, he was afraid that he would hear the name of a certain important minister and border general from the mouth of the Son of Heaven.

"A warlock in the rivers and lakes, if the saint is annoyed, he will blast out of the palace, why ......"

Halfway through his words, Gao Lishi found that Li Longji's face suddenly became dark and terrifying, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. With his understanding of the Son of Heaven, he is afraid that Li Xuanren will not be able to escape.

But if you think about it, you deserve it, it's just that these people pretend to be ghosts in the people, and they just run to the palace to fool the Son of Heaven, even if they are separated, they are to blame.

But I heard Li Longji's voice sounding gloomily:

"This thief is able to discern people's hearts by sorcery, and if they are used by unscrupulous people...... I can't keep him. ”
