"If there is anything to say directly, there are no outsiders here!"

Li Kuan glanced at Wang Xuance and knew that something important must have happened somewhere.

However, today's Li Kuan is no longer the time when he just came to Datang, and he is very anxious about anything.

To put it mildly, there are not many things that Datang can do to make Li Kuan anxious.

"Lord Wang, King Qi is reversed!"

As soon as Wang Xuance said this, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Bang dang!"

The glass cup that Li Zhi held in his hand fell to the floor, and the red wine was scattered everywhere, looking like a pool of blood.

"Five...... Fifth brother is reversed? ”

Although Li Zhi is not very familiar with Li You, he is also his brother anyway.

Now it's the other way around?

What is it that needs to be solved by rebellion?

Li Zhi's heart was a little confused for a while.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has reversed! It is estimated that the news will be received in the Daming Palace soon! ”

Wang Xuance sighed in his heart, and answered Li Zhi's question clearly.

"Although my father arranged for Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to go to Qizhou to investigate the impeachment of Quan Changshi, even if the content of Quan Changshi's impeachment is true, he will be demoted at most, and there is no need for the fifth brother to rebel."

At this time, although Li Zhi already had some thoughts, his grasp of people's hearts was still not sufficient.

In his opinion, the Tang Dynasty is now a strong country, and there is no possibility of success in the rebellion.

Now it is no longer the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a dignified prince, as long as he does not do things that are hated by heaven and people, he will not go to the road of rebellion.

Where could he have thought that Li Shimin relied on the Xuanwumen Revolution to come to power and made a bad start for everyone.

The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.

Why can you come to power through a coup d'état, but I can't?

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Quan Wanji has been dismembered by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and his head is hanging at the door of the King of Qi's mansion to show the public. Coupled with the fact that His Royal Highness King Qi has Yin Hongzhi by his side to fan the flames, many things are no longer what we can imagine. ”

Although Wang Xuance is not the person directly in charge of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, he has the authority to know all the relevant information, so he is relatively clear about Li You's situation.

"Pheasant slave! Let's go into the palace! ”

Hearing this, Li Kuan already understood.

The general trend of history is still moving forward according to its inherent trajectory.

Although some places have changed, they continue to develop according to history in places that are not so affected by themselves.

It seems that it is very likely that Li You's rebellion is just an appetizer for Zhenguan's seventeenth year.

Li Kuan felt that he needed to make some preparations in advance.

……

"Bang!"

"Bang dang!"

"Son! It's all a bunch of gangsters! ”

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shimin knocked down all the four treasures of the study on the throne, and threw a purple clay pot that he had always loved directly on the floor.

Li Zhong is in charge of the Baiqi Division, with the abundant financial support of the internal fund, the development has also been very rapid in recent years.

Even Li Zhong had already sensed that there was a mysterious force operating behind the Chu Palace.

So if such a big thing happened in Qizhou, Li Shimin could naturally get it as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it, or it is possible that His Royal Highness King Qi was held hostage."

Li Zhong said something he didn't believe on the side.

A dignified prince, if he himself does not have this mind, who can rebel more than him?

It's a head-scratching thing!

"Huh! Holding? I hate, I hated that I was soft-hearted at the beginning, and let Yin Hongzhi, a beast, stay in the world! ”

is as smart as Li Shimin, and at this time he naturally knows very well that behind Li You's rebellion, there must be the shadow of Yin Hongzhi in it.

Even this matter, from beginning to end, Yin Hongzhi was planning.

After all, Yin Hongzhi has been assisting Li You, who is only in his twenties, for many years.

To put it mildly, Li You and Yin Hongzhi had a much greater influence on him than Li Shimin, who was a father.

Originally, Li Shimin thought that Yin Hongzhi had completely let go of his hatred, after all, after he ascended the throne, he was still very good to the Yin family, Yin Hongzhi was in the limelight in Chang'an City, and even chased after Changsun Wuji for a time.

Unexpectedly, I actually raised a white-eyed wolf.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Qizhou, even if Yin Hongzhi is completely prepared, it is impossible to gather too many soldiers and horses. As long as the imperial court arranged for the government soldiers from the surrounding states to go to quell the rebellion, it could instantly defeat the stragglers organized by Yin Hongzhi. ”

Li Zhong's words are true.

However, it was not the rebellion that distressed Li Shimin.

As the emperor who is about to win the world, what war has Li Shimin not experienced?

I just destroyed Goguryeo last year.

What made Li Shimin's heart ache was Li You's rebellion, and Li You was his own son.

What he feared the most had happened now!

Thinking about the fight between Li Chengqian and Li Tai now, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his heart was desolate.

Since the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin has felt that his state has dropped to a new level.

Although it is not dizzy from old age, the spirit is obviously not as good as before.

"Your Majesty, please mourn!"

At this time, Li Kuan and Li Zhi came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Other ministers who got the news were also daring to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Obviously, the news that the Chu Wangfu got was still a little earlier than that of the Daming Palace.

Otherwise, the ministers working on both sides of the Xuanzheng Hall would definitely arrive earlier than Li Kuan.

"Father, the fifth brother must have been bewitched by something, and the son is willing to go to Qizhou in person to persuade the fifth brother to come to Chang'an City to ask his father for his guilt!"

At the critical moment, Li Zhi's performance made Li Shimin's eyes shine.

This ninth son, although he has always liked it very much, but from childhood to adulthood, Li Shimin has not seen his shadow in him.

Do things only and are not decisive at all.

In addition, Li Zhi doesn't like to dance knives and guns very much, and even riding horses is not as good as ordinary soldiers.

In addition to his father's love for his son, Li Shimin really can't think of anything else.

"Pheasant slave, you listen carefully on the sidelines and see what the ministers of the DPRK and China are talking about."

Li Shimin did not answer Li Zhi's words, but gave an order with ulterior motives.

However, just such a simple sentence made Li Kuan's heart skip a beat.

Li Zhi has obviously refreshed his image in Li Shimin's heart today.

Although Li Shimin should not have any other special thoughts in his heart, there are already some different things in the subtle way.

Soon, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others also came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, the development situation of Datang is very good now, and we can't let a rebellion destroy the situation in Henan Province, or even affect the development of the entire Datang. Although Qizhou is not so conspicuous in ordinary times, it is located in the center of Henan Road, which is the only place for Dengzhou to Chang'an City, and you can also quickly go to Youzhou, and you can also coerce Xuzhou and destroy the operation of the Grand Canal when you go south. ”

Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

No matter who the Qizhou rebellion is, it must be suppressed, and it will be suppressed as quickly as possible.

"Xuan Ling is right, the rebellion in Qizhou has too bad an impact. Although the news has not spread yet, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, and everyone in Chang'an City will know about it. The most important thing is that Datang did not deploy any soldiers and horses near Qizhou, if the rebels were dispatched quickly, it was likely to cause the nearby states and counties to miss in a short period of time, and even Dengzhou may face the situation of troops coming to the city. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also had a clear attitude at this time and stood up to support the counterinsurgency.

At this time, there is no point in appeasement.

If pacification is useful, people will not go down the road to rebellion.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead an army of 30,000 and quickly go to Qizhou to quell the chaos!"

Qin Qiong, who had been recuperating for several years, took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to quell the chaos.

On the contrary, Li Jing is very low-key, and he has not taken the initiative to lead troops in the past few years.

"Uncle Bao's body and bones are not completely well, I can just go for a trip! Three months, three months at most, will definitely give Your Majesty a stable Qizhou! ”

No matter what time it is, Cheng Yanjin always likes to compete for the opportunity to lead the troops.

Li Shimin did not let Cheng bite Jin and them to fight for it this time, but gave an order decisively and directly.

"The edict ordered the soldiers of the military department to send Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, and Hai Kyushu to fight and counter-rebellion together with Liu Dewei!"

Cut the Gordian knot!

This is what Li Shimin thinks now!

In fact, Li Kuan really wanted to stand up and say that as long as there were a few thousand soldiers and horses to make a meaningful trip, the rebellion in Qizhou would be put down.

However, when it comes to Li You, if he takes the initiative to lead troops to quell the chaos, it is easy for people to be jealous.

How?

Are you Li Kuan so active in suppressing your younger brother?

So Li Kuan didn't say anything more!

After arranging the counterinsurgency generals, Li Shimin was not in the mood to continue to discuss things, but asked everyone to step back and write straight by himself.

"Son! That's why I once warned you not to get close to villains, not to be seduced. Thou hast been perverse and imvirtuous, and thou hast been deceived by flattery, and now thou hast brought about misfortune and brought about thy destruction. It's sad, it's stupid to the extreme. ”

When Li Shimin wrote such a paragraph, tears couldn't help but drip down.

For more than a decade, he had been trying to avoid this from happening, but in the end, it came.

"Son! You have become a person like a deer, forgetting the loyalty and filial piety of the world, and disturbing the ...... of Qizhou"

"Son! Thou hast violated propriety and righteousness, and thou hast not tolerated it by heaven and earth; Thou hast abandoned thy father and brother and betrayed the king, and thou hast been wrath of man and God......"

The more Li Shimin wrote, the more angry he became, afraid that all the dissatisfaction he had with his sons over the years would be vented.

"You used to be my son, but now you are the enemy of the Tang Dynasty......"

Slowly, the snow-white paper was covered with ink.

Some of the handwriting was wet with Li Shimin's tears before it was completely dry.

In the middle of the term, Li Shimin choked up several times and stopped writing!

The heart is like a knife!

Although he is not a qualified father, his love for his children is sincere!

But in the Emperor's House, how many silver coins is this thing worth?

……

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, here's your chance!"

In the East Palace, Helan Chushi happily came to Li Chengqian's side.

"What chance?"

Li Chengqian drunkenly took a sip of Qili incense, and there was not much joy on his face.

During this time, it was quite difficult for him, because the ministers of the DPRK and China impeached him every once in a while, and Li Shimin favored Li Tai, which could not help but make him feel huge pressure.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is the opposite!"

"The fifth is reversed?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't particularly care.

In his opinion, the soldiers of Chang'an City are well fed, and Li You is doomed to fail if he makes trouble in Qizhou.

"Yes! Your Majesty has ordered Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, to lead the troops to quell the rebellion! ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Yes! Absolutely! King Qi's rebellion can happen, which shows that he has been planning for a long time. At this time, isn't it normal for several assassinations to occur in Chang'an City? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, haven't you been worried that you can't find the right time to attack His Royal Highness King Wei? There's never been a better time! ”

Helan Chushi looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes, and felt that he was one step closer to the position of the prince of the country.

"Are you saying that we arranged for someone to assassinate Li Tai, and then blame Li You?"

Li Chengqian was not stupid, and immediately understood what Helan Chushi meant.

In the past two years, in order to deal with Li Tai, Li Chengqian can be said to have exhausted all means, and even specially arranged for someone to enter the Wei Palace, and then report the illegal matters in the Wei Palace, but it did not work.

So Li Chengqian simply began to prepare to physically eliminate Li Tai.

It's just that Li Tai also knows what kind of situation he is in now, and his entry and exit are very tightly guarded, and Li Chengqian has never found a chance.

"That's right! Let Su Gan Chengji lead a few elite dead soldiers, and there is no need for many people, holding a delicate hand crossbow to ambush His Royal Highness King Wei on the road to and from the palace, and he will shoot in these two days! Of course, it is the best, even if it is not successful, it can be regarded as a bad breath. ”

"Those ministers in the court, especially those who were arranged by my father to teach me, for the sake of their own false name, admonished me on the spot at every turn, impeached me in front of my father and emperor at every turn, and brought out all kinds of trivial things, as if I would not be able to show their loyalty if I did not do so, I have long had enough!

Since Li You even dared to rebel, it was normal to arrange for someone to come to Chang'an City to assassinate a few princes, and it was a big deal that I would arrange a group of people to assassinate myself! ”

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment before making a decision.

In fact, Li Chengqian is not as good as some people boast, but he is not as unbearable as many people think.

The guest officer said that he was just an ordinary person in the emperor's house.

It's just that there is an atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty that is not very good, that is, under the leadership of Wei Zheng, the style of exhortation is very prevalent.

Not to mention Li Chengqian, the crown prince, even in front of Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and these ministers dared to speak out.

This is because they regard it as a kind of exhortation that is loyal to the king and the Tang Dynasty.

If you find a problem but don't raise it, it's disloyalty and a servant.

Therefore, in order to have a resounding reputation and be known, many ministers have all kinds of fancy "touching porcelain".

In particular, some of the teachers arranged by Li Shimin for Li Chengqian regarded picking Li Chengqian's faults as their main business every day.

In this way, Li Chengqian didn't have so many problems, as if he was very bad.

Li Chengqian, who couldn't bear the pressure, also made a stupid move, which ultimately confirmed the impeachment of those ministers.

Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't look like a human king!

……

Shengye Fang is a workshop that Li Tai often passes by, and from here you can get out of Chang'an City through Chunming Gate as soon as possible.

Li Tai, who has already realized something, has recently gone out of the city to Zhaoling every three or five days to pay respects.

This kind of behavior was naturally reported to Li Chengqian, and Li Tai could be regarded as having a wave of goodwill on purpose.

"Shanbin, you said that the fifth brother was once such a clever person, how could he do such a stupid thing? As long as the brain is not flooded, we all know that it is impossible to succeed in rebellion. The Tang Dynasty now has boundless national strength, whether it is the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun, or the Goguryeo and Tubo States, none of them are our opponents. He thought that with the little soldiers and horses in Qizhou, he would be able to ascend to the throne? Then this throne is too easy to get! ”

In the luxury Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage, the fat Li Tai sat on the shark skin sofa and talked to Du Chuke on the side.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, after all, also retains a part of the blood of the Yin family. That Yin Hongzhi has been by His Royal Highness King Qi's side all the year round, and he must have instilled a lot of hatred in him, maybe His Royal Highness the King of Qi has regarded His Majesty and the princes of the Tang Dynasty as his enemies of life and death. ”

As the governor of the Wei Palace, Du Chuke naturally has a deep understanding of the affairs of the various princes' mansions.

As Li Shimin's fifth son, Li You is almost the same age as Li Tai, and his aunt is a very favored concubine, so it is normal for Du Chuke to pay more attention.

"Humph! Don't you say that I forgot, the Yin family and our Li family have a deep blood feud. ”

As Li Shimin's son, Li Tai still hates the Yin family who dug up his ancestral grave.

But if the hatred has not accumulated to a certain point, it will not be able to do such a thing as digging up ancestral graves.

"After the death of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has changed a lot. Now that the rebellion of His Royal Highness King Qi has occurred, it is estimated that the blow to His Majesty will be very big. Lord, I think as long as you continue to maintain your current image, this throne will be yours sooner or later! ”

"Well, my father has been admiring me a lot lately, and has rewarded me with a lot of money. And my eldest brother has frequently done despicable things, and at the end of last year, he even arranged for someone to assassinate his teacher, although there is no evidence, but it completely ruined his reputation. As long as you work harder, it will not be impossible to abolish the prince. ”

Li Tai thought that he would one day be able to sit on the throne of Hanyuan Hall and discuss state affairs with his ministers, and his heart was excited.

"That's right! The more this time, the more we must let His Majesty see the good of the prince and the bad of His Royal Highness the Prince. I'm afraid of comparison. ”

As soon as Du Chuke's words landed, there was a sudden exclamation, "There are assassins!" Protect the king! ”

"Whoosh!"

Soon, a powerful crossbow was fired into the carriage.

Li Tai's chubby body suddenly became flexible.

I saw him quickly get up from the couch and press a button.

Immediately, an iron plate sealed the window.

As for the crossbow bolts that were constantly fired at the carriages, he was not worried.

This was the highest version of the Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled luxury carriage, and the entire carriage used a lot of stainless steel, and it was impossible for a crossbow arrow to shoot through it.

Soon, the movement outside was quiet.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, six assassins died, and one escaped! The subordinates have already arranged for someone to chase them. ”

When the voice of the chief guard of the Wei Palace, Li Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, Li Tai has attracted a group of people, and he is deeply loved by Li Shimin, many people are willing to fight for the future, so there is no shortage of strategists and masters around Li Tai.

"Lord Wang, the news of His Royal Highness King Qi's rebellion just came yesterday, and someone will assassinate him today, it seems that some people can't wait!"

Du Chuke reopened the windows and doors of the carriage with the same expression, allowing the sunlight to shine into the carriage again.

Neither he nor Li Tai had the idea of going out to have a look.

There was no need to investigate, they all knew who sent these assassins.

Even if it's not, it's true!

Political struggles, you don't need so much evidence!

The battle for the throne, everything happens is normal.

"It's a good thing, someone assassinates the king, this is a good thing, it means that some people have run out of donkey skills. Let's go, we'll go to Daming Palace in a while, and I'll let Your Majesty see my miserable condition. ”

Li Tai gently touched the clothes on his body with his hand and wiped the cold sweat away.

Although he looked very calm on his face, he was actually very nervous in his heart.

Assassination!

Who isn't afraid?

Although I have made a lot of preparations, in case ...... What if it happens?

"If you want to go to Daming Palace, my subordinates suggest that you make a mess of it, and the effect may be better!"

After hearing this, Li Tai poked his head out of the car window and stretched out his hand to pull out a crossbow arrow from the side.

"Poof!"

"Uh-huh!"

I saw Li Tai insert the crossbow arrow into his arm, and a pool of blood immediately appeared on his clothes.

Fortunately, his flesh is very thick, and there are no muscles and bones in the selected parts, so the injury is not serious at all.

"Lord Wang?"

Du Chuke was taken aback, but quickly reacted.

"Subordinates help you bandage it, and then we will go directly to Daming Palace!"

The carriage was equipped with some first-aid medicines and gauze, as well as the disinfectant alcohol that was popular in the medical school of Guanshishan Academy, and Du Chuke himself was a talent who was proficient in civil and military affairs, so he immediately treated Li Tai's wound briefly.

Then by the way, he helped Li Tai mess his hair a little bit before he instructed the coachman to go to Daming Palace.

As for whether people outside will leak about Li Tai's self-harm, he is not worried at all.

The people who can be chosen to be placed by Li Tai's side are naturally cronies who have been tested.

Besides, the assassination was real, and it was true that crossbow arrows were fired at the carriage.

Don't you see that there are still dozens of crossbow arrows stuck in the carriage?

At this time, Li Tai was injured by a crossbow arrow in his hand, isn't it a normal thing?

And when Li Tai went to Daming Palace, the scene just now was also seen by many people.

His Royal Highness King Wei encountered an assassin on the street, and this news was immediately taken by the "Chang'an Evening News" as the front page headline of the day!

Combined with the Qizhou rebellion briefly reported in the "Datang Daily" this morning, all of a sudden, there was a storm in Chang'an City.
