The fire of the Shangyuan Festival burned all night, and it was not until a heavy rain in the early morning of the second day that the raging fire of the Shendu was completely extinguished, and many places in the Shendu City became scorched earth, and this thousand-year-old capital experienced a huge catastrophe, but compared with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang was a great luck.

Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli, Zhang Jiuling and others led tens of thousands of soldiers to fight all night, at dawn, most of the desert marching ants have all been buried in the sea of fire, a few remnants were also forced into the Luoshui River by the sergeants with fire, this war with Kule Duotina is a victory, but Li Sanlang and several people looked at the corpses all over the field and the people who died innocently in the fire, but their hearts were really not happy. Later, according to statistics, tens of thousands of people were killed by Kuldotina, burned by fire, and trampled by crowds, and when the corpses were cleaned, the bones and corpses were piled up like a small mountain, and countless other wounded were innumerable; In the end, the court blamed the Zhang brothers for all the culprits, but did not mention the fault of the others; However, after this catastrophe, Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli, and Zhang Jiuling became famous, like saviors, on the contrary, Li Ke and Pei Min seemed to be forgotten by people.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Ke went to Long'an Division to prepare to resign from the post of Shenlong Captain, Li Sanlang looked at Li Ke, and without saying a word, Li Ke took his wife and children to the East Palace to bid farewell to the prince, and then left Shendu in a hurry, and rushed out of the city gate to Bashu without stopping.

Pei Min was already unofficial and untitled, after Li Ke left, he returned to his small thatched hut, fortunately last night's fire did not affect his thatched hut, Pei Min once again hid in it, and lived a life like a wild crane.

After Zhang Yizhi's brother was brought back to the palace by His Majesty, for some reason, he was not interrogated, but was imprisoned in a side room not far from the Jixian Palace.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, the seventh day after the Shangyuan Festival, the first moment of the Mao hour.

The female emperor's illness has worsened, and he has not been in the court in recent days, and the crown prince Li Xian is busy with the aftermath of the Shendu.

At this time, the prince was using the morning food, planning to inspect all parts of the Shendu today, when suddenly the eunuch ran in in a panic and anxiously, and said in a trembling voice: "Huh... Reported to the prince, a large number of sergeants came from outside the East Palace, wanting to see the prince... Your Highness! ”

"What?" The prince was immediately startled, his face changed greatly, and the soup spoon in his hand fell directly on the table, and he asked in a trembling voice: "A large number... Sergeant! Who is in the lead? WANT TO DO ... What's the matter? ”

The eunuch replied in a trembling voice: "The leaders are Li Duozuo, Li Zhan and Wang Tongjiao, who only said that they wanted to see His Royal Highness the Prince, but they did not say what they were talking about. ”

When the prince heard the name of the person, he was even more shocked, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation, these people are all friends of Zhang Cambodia, and they have close contacts, although Wang Tongjiao is his own concubine, but he doesn't have much contact, and at this moment he suddenly brought a large number of sergeants here, what do you want? On the night of Shangyuan, Zhang Cambodia's figure disappeared from the beginning of the sudden change in things, and in recent days, he couldn't get sick, and today he suddenly ordered a few people to bring the sergeant here, is it difficult...

Thinking of this, the prince hurriedly asked the eunuch

He said: "Go and tell them that this palace is not feeling well today, see you again at another day, and let them retire with the sergeant as soon as possible!" ”

"Whoa!" The eunuch was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by the prince, who continued: "Send someone out the back door quickly, tell Li Sanlang what happened here, and let him try to deal with it!" The eunuch listened, nodded, and hurriedly ran out.

But after a while, the eunuch turned back and said with a panicked expression: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, they said that they would not leave if they didn't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today!" ”

When the prince heard this, he was even more shocked, and secretly thought in his heart, what did this group of people want? The prince couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Did the people who looked for Li Sanlang send out?" ”

The eunuch nodded hurriedly and replied, "It has been sent out!" ”

At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door from a distance, and the eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly knocked his head to the ground, and said nervously: "Yi villain... In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go out and deal with them, even if Li Sicheng rushes here, it will take time, avoid it, in case... ”

The prince pointed to the eunuch with trembling hands and said, "You... Useless! With that, he sighed and walked out helplessly.

The gate of the East Palace was still slammed loudly, the prince walked behind the door tremblingly, the prince looked around, the eunuchs and maidservants in the East Palace had already been frightened and hid in the corner, trembling, and the prince couldn't point to these people, so he mustered up his courage and finally made up his mind, and shouted outside the door: "I am the prince Li Xian, who is making noise outside?" ”

The people outside the door heard the prince's voice clearly, immediately stopped knocking on the door, and replied loudly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am the prince of the horses, and I am here to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince replied, "What is the matter with the comer?" ”

Wang Tongjiao said loudly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the first emperor passed the throne to His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness was deposed for no reason, and he has been confined in this East Palace for more than 20 years. Zhang Yizhi's brother committed a heinous crime, but he has not been punished so far, we feel deeply unfair, we have united the Yulin army and the courtiers today, vowing to seek justice for His Royal Highness the Prince, and kill the sinister villain! Restore the Li family's Jiangshan Sheji, everyone pushed each other, and sent me to greet His Majesty. ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion, this is to mutiny and rebellion! But how dare he easily believe the people outside the door, for a while, the prince could only be stunned in place, not knowing what to say; Wang Tongjiao saw that the prince did not answer, so he knocked on the door loudly and asked, "Your Royal Highness the prince, are you listening?" ”

The prince hurriedly replied, "Yes... Listening! ”

Wang Tongjiao said loudly again: "Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open the door, and wait with me to lead everyone to the Xuanwu Gate to comfort the people!" ”

The prince hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "Zhang Yizhi and other treacherous villains have indeed been punished, but now that His Majesty is seriously ill, our rash attack will definitely frighten the Son of Heaven, how can you rest easy?" According to the opinion of this palace, it is not too late to wait for this matter to be tried in the future! ”

The prince's words obviously angered everyone outside the door, and Li Chen took over the words and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the prince's words are different! All the courtiers, generals, and soldiers for the sake of the country's society, regardless of their personal safety, gave up their own lives, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disturb His Majesty for fear of disturbing His Majesty

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

What about giving up on this? If it doesn't work out today, all those caught up in this matter will be subjected to the most severe torture. Even if you really want everyone to give up, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stop it in person, my generation is incompetent, and I really can't handle this matter on my behalf! ”

Li Chen's words could not be clearer, everyone had already risked their lives at this time, like an arrow on the string, had to be, if he insisted on not complying, he expected that the disaster would come to his head, the prince hurriedly whispered to the eunuch on the side: "Has Li Sanlang arrived?" ”

The eunuch shook his head, and at this time there was a loud banging sound at the gate, and the prince was extremely anxious, and finally he sighed, and secretly thought in his heart that Li Sanlang was afraid that he would not be able to wait, and if he continued to stalemate, he was afraid that the sergeant outside was afraid that he was ready to break into the door, and then he was afraid that it would become another result. So, the prince said loudly: "All the soldiers are loyal, this palace will open the door!" With that, he glanced at the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch ran over and slowly opened the door.

Seeing the gate open, Li Duozuo, Li Zhan and Wang Tongjiao immediately led the troops to pour in, the prince looked at the soldiers pouring in, and his heart suddenly became nervous, at this moment he was still not sure what the people in front of him were doing. Fortunately, the three of them did not make a move, but came straight to the prince, immediately knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang Khanzhi, General Cui Xuanwei, General Huan Yanfan and others have led more than 500 Yulin soldiers to the Xuanwu Gate of Ziwei City, and the last general and others have come to greet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The prince sighed secretly in his heart, this matter is really from the hand of Zhang Khan, no wonder he has been closed for a few days, it turned out that he was all planning for today's affairs, the prince looked out of the door again, and still did not see Li Sanlang and others, so he could only sigh and said: "There are many soldiers!" ”

As soon as the prince's voice fell, Wang Tongjiao got up and stepped forward to pick up the prince directly, the prince was shocked, but at this moment he could only be at his mercy, Wang Tongjiao slowly walked out of the East Palace with the prince in his arms, and directly hugged the prince on a tall horse, the prince looked left and right, at this time at least hundreds of soldiers gathered outside the East Palace, Li Duozuo gave an order, and the soldiers began to set off.

After a while, the prince followed everyone to the Xuanwu Gate, a large number of soldiers had already gathered in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and the leaders were Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan and others, everyone saw that the prince had arrived, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted, the prince looked at everyone, smiled coldly, and said loudly: "Zhang Ge Lao, you and you have worked hard!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Cambodia was unmoved, turned around and said loudly to the sergeants: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, attack!" With that, he rushed out of several people, cut off the bolt of the Xuanwu Gate, pushed open the gate, and the soldiers followed into the palace.

Hundreds of sergeants are well-trained, the goal is clear, as soon as they enter the Xuanwu Gate, they no longer care about him, and rush towards the Jixian Palace, the prince Li Xian secretly sighed in his heart, Zhang Cambodia's actions must have gone through many days of planning, before this result can be achieved, it seems that it is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, Huang Que is behind, Wu Sansi, Taiping, Zhang Yizhi and others have been planning for a long time and can not do it, today's scheming Zhang Cambodia is probably going to be.

The prince didn't say much on the horse, but he just followed the sergeant towards the Jixian Palace, and he didn't need to say much at this moment, everything was already in Zhang Cambodia's plan.
