Li Yuanji had colic in his abdomen, and he covered his stomach and wanted to stand up, but he seemed to have no strength.

The nose was moist, something was flowing out, Li Yuanji wiped it with his hand, and looked at it, the bright red dazzling, fear breeded, and spread wildly.

Li Yuanji's eyes slowly widened, and he looked up at his father violently.

It was almost evening, there were no lights in the hall, and a large shadow fell on Li Yuan's body, and a grim and terrifying scene formed on his face.

He tried to say something, but blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain and losing his movement in the horrible convulsions.

Looking at all this, Li Yuan didn't move.

The palace people had already been driven away from Zuo Jin, and several big men in armor quietly came in, held the lamp, and came close to silently lift Li Yuanji's body, preparing to move out and bury it according to Li Yuan's edict before.

"Put it down...... All go out...... Don't come in and disturb. ”

These guards who only listened to Li Yuan's orders quietly withdrew from the Ganlu Hall as when they came, but the two generals who led them were a little anxious.

At this critical juncture, they had only one duty, that is, to escort the emperor out of Chang'an when the enemy army entered the city, all the way to Shuzhong.

Time is running out, and there is still a lot to prepare...... As for whether Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was dead or alive, or even why he died, it was not within their consideration.

Li Yuan in the hall finally moved, he suddenly bent down and coughed, coughing very badly, mixed with the sound of crying or laughing, ugly and harsh, and the emotions contained in it were even more chilling.

"You were born naughty...... Temperament is cool...... and if they are captured by the enemy, they will be disgraced...... Being a father is also a last resort, a last resort......"

…………………………………………

When the enemy attacked, Li Shimin led the army to go alone, and he took away not only more than 100,000 troops, but also a glimmer of life in Chang'an and even Tongguan by the way.

In this regard alone, Li Shimin is much more ruthless than his father and brothers.

When the army besieged the city, but after a few days, Li Yuan already knew that nothing could be done, there were no reinforcements outside, and there was no food and grass inside.

Li Yuan and his courtiers talked and discussed countless times, but they could only feel deep despair, and everyone had their own thoughts, and they couldn't work together at all.

And since he ascended the throne, he has never trusted the children of the Kansai Shilord, so to this day, how can Kansai Erlang hand over his net worth and life to the Li family?

This is a mutual cause and effect, no one can blame it, just like when he Li Yuan went south to Chang'an, it is a truth that the children of Guanxi did not hesitate to abandon the Yang family.

So Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was poisoned to death by his father in the Manna Temple, which was the last effort an emperor made to preserve his family at the end of his life.

Just like Li Yuan himself said, Li Yuanji is the most unsuccessful of his four sons, and he has a cold nature, once he is obsessed, he almost doesn't have to think about it, and he will definitely humiliate the lintel.

There are not many such examples, but there are definitely a lot, such as Chen Shubao, the queen of Chen, and Liu Chan, the queen of Shu, these are all jokes left by the emperor himself when he was captured.

The matter of the prince's capture has been more in the past, especially in the war at the end of the Jin Dynasty, one by one, groveling, aggrieved and begging for life, it is simply worse than death, Li Yuan himself has seen some of it.

Others are just fine, but the Li family's son-in-law must not fall into that field, and if he doesn't say anything to his ancestors, he will definitely disgrace the Li clan.

He Li Yuan I is a hero and can die, but he must not become a laughing stock in the mouths of everyone.

……………………………………

Li Yuan finally calmed down, he silently recalled his life, the moment he ascended the throne, it was undoubtedly the most glorious time in his life, and it also stayed the longest in his imagination.

At that time, he was proud of the spring breeze and radiant, as if the whole world was already in his hands...... A smile appeared on Li Yuan's face, but even such a beautiful time of memory was so short, and the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall woke him up.

Yu Wenxiu, the supervisor of the palace, strode in and said hurriedly: "I heard that the hussar general Zhang Pinggao, the general of Zuotun Guard, Xu Shixu, and others led troops into chaos, and the outer city is ...... The eldest grandson Shunde, Dou Cong and others did not listen to the dispatch, and Jiang Baoyi was about to lead troops to ...... with him"

"Supreme, it's urgent now, if you hurry up, we will fight for our lives, and we will definitely protect the supreme and kill it, so that we can ......wait for the next day."

Li Yuan stood up, his face was still stained with tears, but his waist was already straightened.

"When Yang Er became the emperor, we were outcast, running around as officials, and occasionally we could come back for a few days, and at that time I always thought that one day we could return to Chang'an to stay in ......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanha sneered, "Since you have fulfilled your wish now, why do you want to leave the other side...... What do you get in the end by toiling...... You see, I can't even protect my own son......"

…………………………………………

The Jin army camp outside the city.

It was getting late, smoke wafted from the barracks, and everyone was preparing to have some dinner.

It has been stationed under the city of Chang'an for seven or eight days, and in addition to the cavalry army joining in one after another, some have been ordered to leave, but the scale of the large battalion that comes and goes is getting bigger and bigger.

The king of Han said that he would rest for ten days, and then he would attack the city.

The tall city wall has never been seen by many Jin soldiers in their lives, and many people from Henan are very dizzy, and the camp is banging every day to make all kinds of siege equipment, anyway, the atmosphere of the decisive battle is getting stronger and stronger, and the Jin army is also nervous.

The large battalion of the Chinese army, and the generals of the various guards were all summoned here.

As the 10-day deadline approached, there were fewer questions to discuss how to end the battle, and how to siege the city became the main issue.

"The last general feels that it doesn't hurt to try, if you really can't take it, just surround it for a few days, there are so many people in Chang'an City, what do they eat when the days go by?

Although Xijing is important, according to the current situation, the time and place are all up to me, and the last general thinks that there is no need to be too anxious, first subdue the county, and stabilize the hearts of the people of Kansai. ”

This is the idea of Zhang Lun, the general of Zuo Yiwei, Zhang Lun fulfilled his promise to gather with the King of Han under the city of Chang'an, and the tactical use and achievements of the first battle by the river are remarkable, and there is a tendency to be above the generals.

His vision and grasp of the overall situation are indeed above the generals, he doesn't pay much attention to the gains and losses of one city and one place, so he thinks that Xijing is already in the bag, and there is no need to increase casualties in order to seize it, otherwise take advantage of this little effort to do something else, Xijing is there, and he can't fly to the sky.

Contradicting him is now the big butler in logistics, Wang Qing, the squire of the military department, who later escorted the grain and grass to the river, and followed the army all the way to Chang'an City.

Because he was born in the governor's mansion back then, he can naturally suppress many people in terms of identity.

"What General Zhang said may be reasonable, but the minister thinks that if Xijing can't drag on for a long time, I am afraid that something will happen...... General Zhang also said that if the time and place are favorable today, only the people's hearts still need to be appeased.

Xijing Chang'an, Tokyo Luoyang, are the world's luck, get it to win the hearts of the people, Li Mi, Wang Shichong's generation for Luoyang years after year, the lives of the miserable, but once Wang Shichong wins, although everyone knows that it is treacherous and cruel, but still swarm up, why not? Tokyo is in hand, and luck is added.

Therefore, the minister thinks that as long as Xijing is certain, it is a matter of time before the hearts of the people in Kansai are attached......"

Obviously, unlike Zhang Lun's opinion, he felt that Xijing was very important and should not care about any casualties.

Wang Qing's opinion was agreed by Wang Ze, Pei Shiqing and others and some generals, Xijing is too tempting, it makes people feel very excited, and there is Qu Tutong in the northwest, Tongguan is still in the hands of the Tang army, and the Turkic Khanate in the north has no movement now, but once it is known that Xijing is about to be taken, maybe it will be necessary to send troops to stir it up.

That's right, most people feel that Xijing is not down for a day, and they are like a fish in their throats, lest they change.

And Zhang Lun is not alone, Wei Chigong, Buqun is outside, and what he, a "rising star", says is a few points heavier than before.

Wei Chixin, Yu Wenwu, and Li Nian felt that it was better to wait first, first clean up Li Jiancheng in Tongguan, and then look at Qu Tutong's movements, and then maybe the people in Chang'an City would open the city gate themselves?

That is to say, the time is approaching, and the Jin army has not yet agreed here, because everyone is more excited, and it is difficult to be persuaded by the other party because everyone has their own opinions.

Fortunately, no one advocated retreating first like Yang Guang did when he led the troops to fight, and then give Li Tang a chance, so that he could win more openly.

Well, at this time, in fact, it is useless for everyone to quarrel fiercely, His Royal Highness the King of Han has always been true to his word, as long as he is in the army, it will not be anyone else who takes the idea.

Until the lights were lit in the account, and plates of deer breasts and badly boiled bones and sticks were brought up on plates, Li Pocai waved his hand, "Let's eat first and then talk about it." ”

Everyone smelled the aroma and their stomachs grunted, it was rare to be able to eat so much meat in the barracks, if Wen Yanbo was here, he would have to say a few more words to affect Li Po's appetite.

"These wild things are hunted in the beast garden not far away, hey, I heard that Li Yuan's family likes to put on a hundred beast feast, and I don't know if I can eat it now."

Most of the people in the account laughed, after all, it was a joke told by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and it was impossible not to laugh.

Like Wang Ze, Pei Shiqing and others, they eat slowly and reasonably, and they laugh very reservedly, but they have poetry and books in their stomachs, and they have fun, and the generals only have the share of the back.

"As the minister knows, there are three beast gardens outside Beijing, all of which were expanded when Emperor Wen was in the past, and most of the wild animals were stocked at that time, and so Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and lived in Luoyang, so the Xijing Beast Garden was scarce, and others did not dare to hunt, but the beasts were blessed.

Now Li Yuan has stolen the throne, the world is in turmoil, and the people are waiting to be fed, but he is still setting up a feast of a hundred beasts, which is a feast, just like a hundred beasts walking in the world, only this one, far from my lord......"
