Chang'an City Zhaoguofang.

Dou Fengjie, the general of the Right Tun Guard, rode alone and was led by an old servant to walk among the dilapidated alleys to attend the secret banquet of Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing.

Dou Fengjie was born in the Dou clan in Henan, and his great-grandfather Dou Chi was the uncle of Li Shimin's grandfather, and simply put, he was the nephew of Li Shimin's mother, Empress Taimu.

Dou Fengjie's father, Dou Liang, followed Li Yuan, Li Shimin's father and son uprising, made great contributions, and was named the Duke of Yuguo.

Dou Liang finally died in Luozhou, and Dou Fengjie was named the princess of Yongjia, the sister of Li Shimin, who was still (married).

Dou Fengjie was born in a famous family and was a meritorious queen, a lieutenant of a horse, and a general of the right tunwei who lived in the third rank in his twenties, and was the top of the top among the children of the Tang Dynasty scholars.

It stands to reason that there is no need for him to come out and participate in King Jing's rebellion, but I don't know what happened, since Li Chengqian dealt with Princess Gaoyang, Princess Yongjia scolded Li Chengqian every day for being cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel.

Yesterday, Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling came to his mansion and mentioned King Jing's secret entry into Beijing, and Princess Yongjia urged him to come here today to participate in the banquet.

Originally, in order to keep it secret, Chai Lingwu wanted Dou Fengjie to go by car, but Dou Fengjie felt that he was from a martial arts family, and he insisted on riding a horse to lose his ancestors.

Zhaoguofang is in the southern city of Chang'an, and the people living in it are all poor people, which are slums in today's words.

Dou Fengjie walked around it for a long time, and the more he walked inside, the dirtier it became, there was sewage and feces everywhere, and flies fluttered on people's faces like black clouds.

The old servant who walked in front turned around from time to time and used his sleeve to chase flies for Dou Fengjie, Dou Fengjie had a calm black face and waved a horsewhip to bombard the flies, and said irritably: "Take me to see your master." ”

When the old servant heard this, he turned around and continued to walk, and after a while the two walked through a vegetable field, and at the end of the vegetable field was a bamboo forest.

Dou Fengjie looked at the neat courtyard that there were already a few carriages parked in front of the gate, guessing that there must be other roads leading here, looking at the old servant in front of him with a cold light in his eyes and said coldly: "Is there any other road leading here?"

Hearing this, the old servant turned around and saluted Dou Fengjie and said, "Yes, today's special ——! ”

Dou Fengjie raised his hand to give the old servant a whip without waiting for the old servant to finish speaking, and scolded: "The old dog, who is not in trouble, actually looks down on me and takes me on the dirtiest road." As he spoke, he whipped the old servant a few times before he struck the horse forward with hatred.

Chai Lingwu, who was in charge of receiving people at the door of Dou Fengjie's beating people, had already seen it, and when he saw Dou Fengjie walking to the door, he sneered and said, "Dou Dalang has a good prestige?"

Dou Fengjie rolled his eyes up when he heard this, and said coldly: "That old dog looks down on me, shouldn't he take me to the dirtiest and most remote road?"

Chai Lingwu's face turned blue when he heard the words, and he was about to grab Dou Fengjie's horse reins, and Helan Chushi behind him saw that he was about to fight, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Discuss big things today, don't lose your peace because of small things." ”

Helan Chushi said that he stepped forward to catch Dou Fengjie's horse reins and asked him to dismount, Dou Fengjie jumped off the horse angrily, but he still rolled his eyes and nostrils to the sky and did not look at the people in front of the door.

Helan Chushi didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the coming, Dou Gong doesn't care, it's the idea to let the old servant take Dou Gong to take a detour." ”

Hearing this, Dou Fengjie glared at Helan Chushi with his eyes, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

Seeing this, Helan Chushi hurriedly arched his hand again and said: "Duke Dou has a noble status, and now he is guarding the Xuanwu Gate with Zhang Shigui, it is too easy to attract attention, and if you don't go around from there, you will inevitably not be targeted by people with intentions." ”

When Dou Fengjie heard this, he thought that he was indeed more noble than these people, and they should be cautious.

wanted to make a haha, but when he saw Chai Lingwu's face, he said angrily: "Be careful!" Who in Chang'an City dares to keep an eye on Bengong?"

Ignoring Helan Chushi, he walked directly past Chai Lingwu and walked towards the courtyard.

"You!" Chai Lingwu was about to chase in when he saw another carriage coming over, and knew that it was Xue Wanche who arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Dou Fengjie was led into the main hall by the servants in the house, and when he saw that there were already several people sitting in the main hall drinking tea and chatting, these people Dou Fengjie knew, they were all officials from the major scholar clans in Guanzhong.

When the people inside saw Dou Fengjie coming in, they all got up to salute him, Dou Fengjie relied on his noble birth, and he didn't care that these people just casually bowed their hands to a few elders and sat down.

These people are all old and mature people, and they know that Dou Fengjie is being used for today's discussion, so they don't see him in general, and everyone sits down to continue the conversation just now.

Dou Fengjie sat in the hall for a while, and a servant invited him to go to the back garden to enjoy the lotus flowers.

Hearing this, Dou Fengjie stood up and glanced at the smug expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall, and then followed the servant through the back door with a proud look.

Dou Fengjie followed the servant to a green pavilion on a rockery by a pond in the back garden.

This pavilion was built at the highest point of the garden, and several tall willow trees were planted around it, which just blocked the pavilion tightly, and people could see the outside through the wicker inside, and only a lush willow bush could be seen when they looked inside.

At this time, there were Jing Wang and his son and Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu sitting in the pavilion, and when they saw Dou Fengjie coming in, King Jing and his son hurriedly got up and bowed to him.

"The foolish brother has not been in Chang'an for many years, and the demeanor of the virtuous brother is still the same!" King Jing said with a smile.

"I've seen my aunt!" King Jing's son, Li Ze, respectfully saluted him.

Dou Fengjie was very happy to see this, and hurriedly returned the salute to Jing: "My brother should have set up a banquet for my younger brother when he returned to Beijing, but I am ashamed to come to disturb him. ”

When King Jing heard this, his face bloomed and he hurriedly said, "Why don't the family say this, sit down quickly." ”

Saying that, the three of them sat down, and King Jing saw that Dou Fengjie had no scheming, so he brewed his emotions and said slowly: "This king has not returned to Chang'an for many years, and many old ones are unfamiliar, so he should have held a banquet and drank a few times with you." It's a pity that this time I secretly went back to Chang'an, if it is known, I will be severely punished, and I can only invite a few confidants to come here for a small gathering, which is really ashamed! He sighed.

Everyone else sighed.

Dou Fengjie heard that King Jing regarded him as a confidant, and then remembered what Princess Yongjia had said to scold Li Chengqian in the past few days, so he said directly: "If you want to say that Li Chengqian is also cold-blooded and ruthless, even his own sister is willing to be imprisoned." ”

When King Jing heard this, he looked at him and said with a sad face: "We are all courtiers, and we deserve to be killed by Li Chengqian, but Your Majesty is now imprisoned in the palace by Li Chengqian, which is really worrying!" ”

Dou Fengjie was shocked when he heard this: "Ah! Your Majesty has been imprisoned by Li Chengqian?"

Xue Wanche rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Don't you know that the Duke of Yuguo is on duty at the Xuanwu Gate. ”

"This ......"

Dou Fengjie looked thoughtful when he heard this, but he really didn't know about it, and muttered for a while: "I am on duty at the Xuanwu Gate and only know that His Majesty is seriously ill and the crown prince is in charge of the country, and General Zhang only said that His Majesty is recuperating in the Liangyi Palace......"

"Your Majesty has always been physically strong, although he is sick, but he will not be messed around with by Li Chengqian, just imagine, if His Majesty is not imprisoned by Li Chengqian, will His Majesty issue an edict to degrade Cheng Zhijie?

Will Your Majesty decree the old man?

Will His Majesty decree the confinement of Gao Yang?

No, how could His Majesty's kindness do such a thing?"

Xue Wanche always thought that he was a person valued by Li Shimin, and he didn't believe that he just wanted to enter the palace to see Li Shimin, and Li Shimin would order him to be beaten with a cane, which was the reason why he firmly believed that Li Shimin was imprisoned by Li Chengqian.

Dou Fengjie was stupid by Xue Wanche's series of questions directly, and only after a while did he widen his eyes and said, "Then how can we save Your Majesty?"

"Brother Xian really wants to save His Majesty?" King Jing looked at Dou Fengjie seriously.

"Of course, in the past few days, I have also heard that Li Chengqian has acted perversely, and the hearts of the people in the world are fluctuating, if you don't save Your Majesty from the Tang Dynasty, won't the Tang Dynasty be in chaos?" Dou Fengjie is naturally authentic.

When King Jing heard this, he got up and bowed to Dou Fengjie and said, "The virtuous brother is really from a big family, and he is loyal and righteous, and the foolish brother admires him!" ”

Dou Fengjie couldn't find the north by him, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "This is my business!" ”

Saying that, the two sat down, Dou Fengjie thought that there were Li Chengqian's people inside and outside the Taiji Palace now, and he was a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to rescue Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Xue Wanche followed him and said, "Yes! The Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace is guarded by Qiu Xinggong, the Xuanwu Gate is guarded by Zhang Shigui, and the Liangyi Hall is guarded by Li Anyan, these people are Li Chengqian's dogs.

With them, even if there are people in us, we can't enter the palace to rescue Your Majesty! ”

Dou Fengjie couldn't help but say loudly when he heard this: "If it's another door, isn't there still me in Xuanwu Gate?"

In the past, when His Majesty killed Prince Yin in Xuanwu Gate, Chang He was just a Zhonglang general, and he was able to help His Majesty kill Prince Yin by guarding Xuanwu Gate. I'm now the general of the Right Guard, and I'm much stronger than Chang He Ke. ”

King Jing and the others were all happy when they saw Dou Fengjie say this sentence by himself, if they could enter the Xuanwu Gate smoothly, then the matter would be sixty percent successful.
