The Sixteen Princes' Mansion, as the gathering place of the Tang Dynasty, is now extremely desolate.

When Li Keyong had not yet attacked Chang'an, most of the princes and grandsons who lived here ran away, and even if there were those who didn't run away, there were two or three kittens, which had no use value at all.

In this case, the Xiangwang Mansion located in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion is very different, inside and outside the mansion, there are many soldiers who are strictly defended.

Early in the morning, a group of cavalry suddenly came to the Xiangwang Mansion, and the soldiers in front of the mansion saw the person coming and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"How is King Xiang now? Are you still making a lot of noise? Zhu Mei, who was in her thirties, turned over and dismounted, and asked the officer who came forward.

"Back to the festival handsome, King Xiang is not noisy for the time being, and after breakfast, he is practicing calligraphy in the study." The officer in charge of guarding the Xiangwang Mansion hurriedly replied.

"Practicing calligraphy in the study? This King Xiang is quite good at pretending. Zhu Mei smiled and nodded, and then let people open the door of the Xiangwang Mansion and enter the palace with a group of personal soldiers.

This officer is not a soldier of the Shence Army, nor is he a personal soldier of the Xiangwang Mansion, but a personal soldier under Zhu Mei, the envoy of the Suining Jiedu, and his responsibility is to be responsible for watching the captured prince of the clan inside.

Seeing the soldiers who suddenly broke in, the people inside were also shocked, but Zhu Mei didn't care about these people, but went straight to the study of the palace.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a purple brocade robe was writing in the study, and he was startled when he saw Zhu Mei and others who pushed the door in directly, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Xiao Wang has seen Zhu Shuai."

The man in the brocade robe was about the same age as Zhu Mei in his thirties, and he looked polite. This person was Li Xuan, the king of Xiang, because he was captured by Wang Xingyu on the way to escape from Fengxiang, and then he was escorted to Chang'an.

This King Xiang's seniority is also quite high, he is the great-great-grandson of Tang Suzong, and according to his seniority, he is the same generation as Li Yi and Li Ye's grandfather Xianzong Li Chun.

In addition to having some status within the clan, there is not much difference for a local feudal general like Zhu Mei. There are many princes and grandsons who lived before the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and Li Xuan is not the highest among them.

There were many princes who were captured by Zhu Mei, but he still chose Li Xuan. The reason is very simple, although Li Xuan is of high seniority, he doesn't have much talent, don't look at the other party's politeness, he is still practicing calligraphy there, but he is vassally and elegant, and there is actually no ink in his stomach.

This means that this Xiangwang Li Xuan can't threaten Zhu Mei's status, so he chose the other party.

Looking at the difficult King Xiang in front of her, Zhu Mei returned the salute and said with a smile, "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Xiang has thought it through?" ”

What Zhu Mei asked him to consider in his words, Li Xuan naturally knew that although he was very excited, he was also a little unconfident, so he couldn't do it, "Zhu Shuai, this matter is really a bit rebellious, and Xiao Wang is a little afraid to agree." ”

Promise what? Naturally, he promised to be the emperor.

Originally, Zhu Mei's idea was to recapture Li Yi, the emperor, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but she didn't expect Tian Lingzi to run away with Li Yi first.

Zhu Mei, who had no choice, thought of another way to select one person from the captured clan to be the new emperor. And he had to choose one that was easy to control, so Li Xuan appeared in his sight.

Who doesn't want to be an emperor? But Li Xuan is also afraid that the emperor's life will be lost every time, after all, Li Yu is still there, even if he ascends to the throne of the emperor, it is not justifiable.

"King Xiang is too worried. Since ancient times, the position of the emperor is capable, and now His Majesty is mediocre and unreasonable, sitting back and watching Tian Lingzi as a disaster for the court, causing chaos in the world, which is a big mistake.

His Royal Highness, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is he willing to see the Tang Dynasty decline like this? Zhu is also dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, hoping that His Royal Highness can understand Zhu's painstaking efforts. Zhu Mei persuaded.

That being said, it is unclear whether the local feudal towns will support it or whether the ministers will agree with it. Although the emperor's position is good, the little prince is worried that he will pay his net worth because of this. ”

"Father, the child thinks what Zhu Shuai said makes sense. Since today's son is mediocre and incompetent, his father, as the prince of the clan, should stand up and save Datang from danger. ”

Just before Li Xuan could finish speaking, a young man suddenly ran in and persuaded Li Xuan to accept Zhu Mei's suggestion.

"What's the matter with you? Get out! Seeing the eldest son who was smoked by the desire for power, Li Xuan said sharply.

The person who came was his eldest son, and persuading him to be the emperor was nothing more than that the other party wanted to be the prince, so he persuaded him so actively.

The young man retreated unwillingly, and Li Xuan hurriedly apologized to Zhu Mei, "Don't be surprised by Zhu Shuai, Xiao Wang's godson has no way, and Zhu Shuai is shocked." ”

Zhu Mei glanced at the person who withdrew, and smiled faintly, "Your Highness is serious, Zhu thinks that what the county prince said is quite reasonable, and His Highness should think about it more." After all, this opportunity doesn't come around very often. ”

Zhu Mei wanted to persuade King Xiang to agree, but after persuading him for a long time, there was no result, which made him a little unhappy.

"Jieshuai is angry, there is a plan that may be able to help Jieshuai." Wang Xingyu persuaded.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Zhu Mei, who was in a bad mood, didn't have a good airway.

"Yes, Shuai Shuai. The reason why King Xiang refused was nothing more than worrying too much. In ancient times, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, why didn't the marshal follow Liu Bei's example to persuade the king of Xiang.

As long as the commander shows his determination, he believes that those ministers will be happy to persuade King Xiang to ascend the throne as emperor. Wang Xingyu said in a low voice.

Zhu Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, patted Wang Xingyu's shoulder heavily, and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, this idea is okay." Since King Xiang wants to save face, then Ben Shuai gives him enough face, and he is willing to cooperate well. ”

"Jie Shuai, what about Li Changfu's side?" Wang Xingyu reminded.

Zhu Mei touched her chin, this Li Changfu is a troublesome matter. At this time, Chang'an was occupied by the two of them, and although Feng Xiang's army was not as many as him, he now needed this ally to strengthen his momentum.

Thinking of this, he said, "Ben Shuai personally went to talk to him, and I believe that the other party will see the situation clearly." ”

Zhu Mei's speed was very fast, and Li Changfu also agreed when he learned that he planned to establish King Xiang as the new emperor, and the premise was naturally that Zhu Mei agreed to some conditions for him.

With the support of Li Changfu, Zhu Mei was full of confidence, and then asked the courtiers to persuade Li Xuan.

For the canonization of the new emperor, the ministers of the court and some people in the clan agreed, who did not want to make a contribution to the dragon. Moreover, Li Yi is now in exile in Baoji, his prestige has plummeted, and Zhu Mei's combination of soft and hard has made many people choose to support it.

Among them, there are prime ministers Pei Che and Zheng Changtu, and the clan has the concubine Liu Zhi, the princess of Xuchang Zhuangsu (Xuanzong Li Chennu).

Although she received support, Zhu Mei did not immediately support the new emperor, but let Li Xuan, the king of Xiang, supervise the country in the name of the imperial court, and then spread the word to the world.

Chang'an and Shannan West Road are just separated from Qinling, and Jinyiwei has a shadow in Chang'an, so as soon as the news of Li Xuan, the heir of the king, was in charge of the country, Li Ye learned the news.

。。。。。。

"There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. Li Xuan is just an heir to the king of Xiang, and he still wants to be the emperor? Is he too long? ”

Li Ye threw the information aside and sneered.

The prison country is a disguise, everyone knows that the next step must be to be the emperor, but the poor brother is only in his 20s and will be respected as the emperor, and the emperor should be to the point of Li Yi, which can be regarded as the ultimate bag.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Immediate troops? Still is? Pei Rong hurriedly asked.

"How is Your Majesty doing now?"

"Your Majesty was taken captive by Tian Lingzi to Baoji, and the next step should be to go to Fengzhou. At present, His Majesty has enabled the Flying Dragon to make Yang Fugong replace Tian Lingzi, and wants to use the relationship between Yang Fugong and Li Keyong to win over Li Keyong.

However, Tian Lingzi is currently in control of His Majesty, and the news of our defeat of the Dongxichuan coalition army may also reach Tian Lingzi's ears. In this case, Tian Lingzi will not give up His Majesty, in his eyes, His Majesty is a talisman. Lee Young-wook explained.

"Li Hong, how is the army assembled?" Li Ye said in a deep voice.

Li Hong immediately got up, hugged his fists and said, "Back to Your Highness, the Zuo Tiance army has been assembled. ”

"Now that the assembly has been completed, he ordered Zhao Xiong to lead the soldiers and horses along Chencang Road and Lianyun Road respectively to take Xingfeng Erzhou and block the road where Tian Lingzi could not escape.

The main force of Zuo Tiance's army was responsible for occupying the valley, and then standing still, and it was not allowed to take a step in the valley without the order of the king.

The situation is not suitable for sending troops, and this king needs a suitable time. Li Ye said seriously.

Although Zuo Tiance's army has completed the assembly, the Jinyi Guard and the Shenji Battalion are not ready. Once he sent troops, he faced many enemies.

The nearest ones are Tian Lingzi of Baoji, followed by the armies of Zhu Mei and Li Changfu, and even the armies of Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong.

Tian Lingzi didn't have many troops around him, but it was okay to say; Li Keyong retreated to the river, and he would not attack Guanzhong again in a short time.

Only Zhu Mei and Li Changfu's army is more troublesome, which is also a hurdle that Li Ye must face when sending troops.

If you want to enter Chang'an, it is difficult to achieve without defeating the armies of Zhu Mei and Li Changfu.

For Niu Miao, who occupies Xingfeng Erzhou, Li Ye has long wanted to clean up the other party, but he didn't have time to deal with him before, and now he takes advantage of this time to take Xingfeng Erzhou, and it is not difficult to think about it.

"Your Royal Highness, if Zhu Mei really supports the enthronement of King Xiang, will we directly enter Chang'an, or will we go to Baoji to escort first?" Pei Rong asked.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty thought it should be done at the same time. The safety of His Majesty's side must be guaranteed, and it is also necessary to defeat Zhu Mei and other rebels and recover Chang'an, only in this way can His Highness be justified in Chang'an. ”

Soon everyone began to fight again, but none of them said that they would not send troops, but on some specific matters, these people had different opinions.

If it was in normal times, Li Ye would have been furious. However, Li Ye has been in a good mood in the past two days, because he not only has a son, but also a daughter.

Sun Mei also gave birth, compared to Liu Chenyan who only gave birth to a son, Sun Mei gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

After this one after another, Li Ye was happy to have two sons and a daughter, and he was naturally very happy.

It's just that some people are worried about this, Li Ye's eldest son and second son are only a month apart, and they don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
