The morning light is faint, and the horizon will be bright.

With a few rooster crows, the city gate of Chang'an, which had been closed all night, slowly opened again.

Carrying out the rejection horse and setting up the table, a few city gate officials wrapped in thick clothes stood in front of the city gate, waiting for the sun to come out, so as to bask in the sun and warm up their bodies, after all, the winter morning is still very cold!

"Driving...... Drive! ”

The sun had not yet peeked out of the clouds, but on the road in front of the door, there were a few swift horses' hooves galloping wildly.

"Hey, dismount!" When a servant heard the voice, he yawned and stood in the middle of the road, trying to stop the man.

However, he soon found that the horses that rushed over did not stop at all, and ran straight towards him!

"Oops! Phew! The Messenger is great? It's early in the morning, and I'm in a hurry to mourn! ”

Realizing that something was wrong, the little official hurriedly held his head and hid to the side, but he was still blown in the face by the fast horse that passed by his side, raising dust! He was so angry that he couldn't help but cross his waist and curse at the knights who were running away.

However, by the city gate, another small official scratched his head as he looked at the cavalry that was moving away, and said with some uncertainty: "The one that just passed, why do I feel so much like King Qin?" ”

"Gah?"

As soon as the little official, who was still pointing at the distance and scolding angrily, heard this, he immediately stopped scolding like a duck with his beak pinched!

Only barely squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Qin... King?! Don't scare me! He's not in Gyeongju? ”

The other servant nodded, and said more and more affirmatively: "It must be him, I know his appearance!" It must be King Qin who has just passed! ”

"Oops!" When the scolding guy heard this, he immediately slapped him on the head, and said with a sad face: "It's over, I just ...... Bah! Did you just hear what I said?! ”

The little official who recognized Li Shimin looked at him with a serious face and said, "I heard it!" ”

"Hear something!"

"I heard you say that please drink in Fujulou tonight!"

“…… Count you ruthless! ”

What happened at the gate of the city was just a trivial matter, and now Li Shimin is afraid that he has no time or mood to pay attention to such a trivial matter.

Just two days ago, he was busy dealing with various things in Gyeongju, and by the way, he collected evidence that might point to the prince.

But with the arrival of a letter from Chang'an, all his arrangements were immediately disrupted! made him have to travel day and night, rushing to Chang'an.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

On the other side of Chang'an City, a deep bell rang, and the gate of the palace, which had been out of power for several days, finally opened again.

Walking into the palace along the crowded flow of people, Xiao Han took one last look at the palace gate behind him after walking through the corridor.

Li Shimin's figure never appeared there.

"Hey, maybe not. But what if you catch up? ”

Thinking of the news delivered by the eldest grandson Wuji yesterday, Xiao Han could only smile bitterly now.

Although he could already guess this outcome in his heart, and he had made a lot of preparations for it, when it actually came, it still made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

I've been busy for so long, and I've planned so much! In the end, not to mention the shortcomings, there will be a lot of losses!

This kind of thing, no matter who it is, will have a feeling of wanting to cry.

The imperial city in winter was still clean, Xiao Han followed the crowd, walking through the wide square and high stone steps.

Suddenly, I had a feeling that this road, which I hadn't walked for half a month, was a little strange today.

"Hey, I don't know when the next time I'll be here after today. Damn Erjuhuan! Damn Qiaogong Mountain! dared to rebel twice, did he even care about his wife and children at home?! ”

There was some ruthlessness in his heart, but Xiao Han couldn't get down to the heart of the old and young women and children, and finally he could only sigh and walked into the end of the journey, in the Daxing Palace!

At this time, the Daxing Hall was already a bustling scene.

The ministers who had just walked in were either greeting each other or looking for their place, all trying to make themselves look relaxed.

It's just that Xiao Han can clearly see the anxiety they hide in their eyes!

Slowly following the people forward, Xiao Han did not blend into the group of five- or six-grade officials this time, but stood honestly in his position.

Maybe it was because he hadn't stood up for a long time, and around him, the few colleagues who couldn't name him would turn their heads from time to time and throw a strange look at him.

"Ding......

Soon, a crisp golden bell rang in the main hall.

Hearing this voice, the originally buzzing court immediately fell silent! Everyone's eyes were on the figure that was not too tall.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan! Step by step, I walked to the dragon chair.

He glanced down flatly, and then sat down slowly, although he didn't say a word, but the momentum that belonged to the superior still made people's hearts tremble.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

Soon, the shrill voice of the eunuch pierced the silence, and the aftermath lingered in the hall for a long time.

Silence, silence.

Different from usual, in the huge court, even the most talkative imperial histories, at this time, they all held the eyes and noses, noses and hearts, and did not say a word!

"What, nothing?"

Li Yuan looked at His Royal Highness's Gong Gong Zhugong, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others.

"Could it be that my Datang has now risen to the level of singing and dancing?"

Li Yuan's words fell, and there were whispers in the court, but still no one came out to start playing, or to answer his words.

"Na Du Yan, you come and talk about it! What the hell is going on in Gyeongju! ”

Suddenly, Li Yuan's low shout broke the silence in the hall, and at the same time, it was like a sledgehammer, shattering many people's illusions!

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Yuan shout Du Yan's name, his legs immediately weakened and he almost fell to the ground!

He went up to the front, and there was some luck! But this bit of luck, as Li Yuan pointed out Du Yan's name, everything came to naught!

"Minister, minister doesn't know ......"

Under the gaze of almost everyone, Du Yan trembled out of the team and fell to the ground.

"I don't know? Hehe? What about Xiao Han? ”

Li Yuan glanced at Du Yan in disgust, turned his head to look at the others, and at the same time coldly called out Xiao Han's name.

"Hey, it's finally here......"

When Xiao Han heard Li Yuan shouting at him, he was somehow relieved in his heart!

Perhaps, only when you are extremely nervous will you have such an abnormal feeling.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided."

Reciting these words silently, Xiao Han slowly walked out of the queue in the eyes of the plague gods around him, and then walked to Du Yan's side little by little.

"Minister......

"Father!"

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously at this moment!

And with this voice, Li Shimin's weather-covered figure finally appeared at the door of Daxing Palace!
