Chapter 1177: The rebels fled
"It is a capital crime for the sons to visit their fathers, but the sons missed the deadline and were used by the rebels, so that the father and the queen mother were frightened." Li Zhi rushed into the Nine-Fold Palace and saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun kneeling on the ground, with tears on their faces.
He hurried overnight, and just arrived at the Jiucheng Palace when he saw the flames, and he learned that the rebels were assassinating His Majesty under his banner, and his heart was suddenly terrified.
Everyone looked at Li Zhi and couldn't help sighing, they didn't know whether His Royal Highness the King of Jin was lucky or unlucky, unlucky was that he suffered an unwarranted disaster, fortunately because of a strong wind, he miraculously escaped this catastrophe.
"Get up! It's none of your business. Li Shimin naturally did not doubt Li Zhi, and he was relieved to see that Li Zhi was safe.
"Thank you, Father!" Li Zhi got up gratefully and said.
Empress Eldest Sun pulled Li Zhi into her arms, carefully examined it, and confirmed that everything was fine, and then she cried with joy.
"Your Majesty, the mastermind behind the scenes has been identified!" Xi Junmai came in a hurry from outside and reported.
"Who is it?" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.
"Ashina association rate is the mastermind, its entanglement Turkic rebels support He Luohu as khan, and the Western Turks are vainly trying to restore the Turks, and now Ashina association rate has fled north, Qin Huaiyu and others have gone to hunt down." Xi Junmai said loudly.
After the pursuit of the guards of Jiucheng Palace, naturally some rebels were captured alive, and after interrogation, someone confessed soon.
"Turkic restoration?" Li Shimin's heart was cold, he thought that he had been very good to the Turks, moved the Turkic tribes to the south of the warm Yellow River, no longer afraid of snowstorms, more than half of the officials in the middle of the five grades were Turks, and every year just the money was a large amount of expenses, as long as Li Shimin enveloped these Turkic leaders well, the Turks would naturally be obedient, but the reality gave him a hard slap.
In reality, there are still many Turks who are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty and want to return to the steppe, which makes his title of the most smug Tian Khan a joke.
"Check, give me a thorough investigation, and immediately send someone to Chang'an City to arrest He Luohu." Li Shimin's face was pale.
Naturally, one Ashina association rate could not stir up much turmoil, but Heluo Hu inherited the position of Turkic Khan, and was the nominal Turkic co-master, and if it was not thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that the Turkic tribes that had been quiet for ten years would make waves again, and there would be no more stability on the northern border.
"Yes!" Xi Junmai shouted, stretched out his hand, and immediately a guard immediately led the troops towards Chang'an City.
Li Shimin stared at the fire of the Nine Palaces gradually being extinguished, but the flames in his heart were still burning, he Li Shimin, the dignified Khan had also suffered assassination and rebellion, which made him proud of how he couldn't accept it.
"The autumn night was cold, and my father was frightened all night, so I asked my father to rest early." Li Zhi stepped forward and said intimately.
Li Shimin said angrily: "What else to rest, after dawn, go back to Chang'an City immediately." ”
Such a big thing happened in Jiucheng Palace, and it implicated the Turks, the biggest unstable force in the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Shimin sleep peacefully, and naturally wanted to return to the court as soon as possible.
Li Zhi suddenly looked stunned, he slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg this time.
Merton sighed and stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is naturally healthy, but the queen mother may not be able to hold up and rush back to Chang'an City for several days, and as long as Your Majesty is fine, Datang will not be able to mess up." ”
Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, he was thinking about state affairs just now, but he ignored the weak Empress Changsun, only to see that Empress Changsun was already shivering from the cold under the autumn phoenix, but she still supported Li Shimin's side.
"Quick, help the queen enter the palace." Li Shimin hurriedly accompanied Empress Changsun into the house, so he didn't insist on rushing back to Chang'an City.
Seeing Li Shimin and Empress Changsun enter the house, Merton immediately turned around and rushed back to the Yae Palace, I am afraid that Princess Changle is also in a hurry.
When Merton rushed back to the Yae Palace, he happened to see Princess Changle watching anxiously outside the palace, and when he saw Merton appear, he immediately cried with joy.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Merton hugged Princess Changle into his arms and comforted him again and again, but Princess Changle still grabbed Merton's shirt and was unwilling to let go.
Merton's words were in the past, but Merton knew that the real storm had just begun, and this assassination had officially ended the ten-year honeymoon period between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and from then on there would be an insurmountable gap between the two races.
"Drive! Drive! ”
On the south bank of the Wei River, the Ashina Association that had buried a rift between the Han and the Turks was running wildly, and he took the lead in obtaining war horses and leading several loyal men to flee northward, all of whom rushed to the Wei River without stopping on horseback, once they crossed the Wei River, then they would fish into the sea and completely get rid of the pursuers.
"The Wei River ahead?" A Turkic rebel cheered.
Ashina Association took a look and saw the wide embankment in front of him, and the Wei River had finally arrived, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Find the boatman quickly, and hurry up to cross the Wei River." Ashina hurriedly ordered.
However, what made Ashina crazy was that he searched for more than ten miles in a row but did not find a single boatman.
"How is this possible?" Ashina's association rate is simply crazy, now time is life, and he wastes his time looking for boats, there is no shortage of boatmen in Weihe on weekdays, why is there no trace of any today.
"The Weishui Bridge is about to open, and those boatmen are about to lose their livelihoods, so they are all looking for a way to survive in advance." It wasn't until a farmer was found that Ashina understood the reason.
The benefits of the Weishui Bridge, which has been built for five years, are self-evident, but not for everyone, especially for the ferries along the coast, it is a devastating blow, once the Weishui Bridge is opened, who will take the ferry.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Ashina gritted his teeth with hatred, and he suddenly found that the Weishui Bridge was also the handiwork of the Mo family, and he met the Mo family, which was simply unfavorable for the past few years, and he was repeatedly deflated.
"By the way, the Weishui Bridge can be passed." Ashina's association was moved, the Weishui Bridge was about to open to traffic, presumably it had been roughly completed, and there must be no problem passing through the horses, otherwise those boatmen would not leave.
Ashina took the opportunity to make a decision and led his subordinates to the Weishui Bridge.
Soon, the magnificent Weishui Bridge was far away in the eyes of Ashina's association, and everyone couldn't help but hurry up, and now the Weishui Bridge will be their last hope.
"Don't run!"
Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves from behind, and Ashina looked back, and was suddenly shocked, only to see that Qin Huaiyu and the three of them had chased after him.
Ashina had a lot of hatred in his heart, if he hadn't delayed too much time on the ferry, how would the Tang army catch up with him.
"General, you go quickly, we will block the Tang Army!"
Seeing this, he immediately turned his horse's head and headed towards Qin Huaiyu and the others, trying to win time for Ashina to escape.
Qin Huaiyu and the three of them were in a hurry, seeing that Ashina Association led the horses to gallop towards the Weishui Bridge, they had already overdrawn their horsepower in order to catch up with Ashina's association rate, if they let Ashina Association lead across the Weishui Bridge, they might no longer be able to pursue.
It's a pity that they are now entangled by the Turkic rebels, and they can only watch Ashina lead the way to the Weishui Bridge.
Ashina is about to escape.
