The guard was wearing iron armor with a thousand oxen sword at his waist, and stopped in front of him with an expressionless face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the Legislative Palace."

"Get out of the way, I'm going to go in." Li Jiancheng's face was like frost, and he scolded coldly. "Lone is the prince, get out of the way."

The guards still stood in front of the door and refused to give in, "Your Majesty has a special explanation, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not allowed to enter." ”

Such a rigid guard made Li Jiancheng's face full of anger, he had just come from the East Palace. Originally, the emperor promised to give him enough soldiers and horses to attack the East Palace, but as soon as the soldiers and horses were pulled out of his hands, they were transferred again. With more than 20,000 people in his hands, how to build an East Palace defended by 10,000 people?

Although Li Jiancheng was bent on attacking, he attacked many times in a row, but the result was still in vain.

Yangzhou fell, Hongzhou was defeated, Jiangxia was abandoned, and Xiangyang fell again.

Now Li Chao has fought all the way, only two hundred miles away from Hanjing, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses who rushed to reinforce Xiangyang are gone before they arrive in Xiangyang.

Now in Hanjing City, people are panicking, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.

The vast majority of people already know that the emperor was not killed in the Western Regions, and the emperor has returned, has arrived in Chang'an, and returned with thousands of troops and horses.

And the news that Li Chao, Li Ji, Li Jingwei, Chi Gong, Qin Qiong and other generals who were attached to the new dynasty and were crowned kings by the emperor publicized by the imperial court are actually all false.

Li Chao has already hit Xiangyang, Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin are also fighting Wujiaoguan, and Li Ji is fighting Taiyuan.

Even Li Jing, the only person they saw, was sent back to Hanjing and imprisoned on the charge of fornicating with the rebels.

In fact, there are many people in Hanjing City who originally knew the truth, those nobles, nobles, officials and scholars, they originally supported the restoration of Emperor Taishang, but now they are beginning to waver and plot.

Li Jiancheng believes that the more this time, the more necessary it is to take the East Palace to stabilize the morale of the army.

If you can't attack by force, then you can only outwit.

Pull the eldest grandson and Cheng Qian, as well as Li Shimin's concubines and children to the door of the East Palace, and cut them down if they don't surrender.

Cut them one by one in public, and they will always surrender.

The Qianniu guards in the palace, including the original relatives Xunyi, Sanwei and Wufu, these internal guards used to be the children of Xunqi officials. But after the emperor's restoration, although a large number of children of honorable officials were also awarded as pro-Xunyi guards, he did not trust them, and named them as rewards, giving them a way to enter the body, which was actually a hostage of the emperor.

What the emperor really reuses now is Qianniuwei, and the guards in Qianniuwei are all personally selected by the emperor.

These guys are only afraid of the emperor's words, and they don't even listen to his dignified prince's words.

Jiancheng gritted his teeth, and his eyes narrowed.

"What's your name? Who's from? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister Wang Junya, the son of the Taiyuan Wang family."

"Oh, Taiyuan Wang, no wonder. There are several rooms in Taiyuan Wang's family, which room are you? ”

"Taiyuan Wang's Qi County Branch."

"Well, from the Wang Jue family, who are you?" Built asked. Wang Qi was his henchman in the East Palace back then, but later he also joined Li Shimin's disciples. I'm still in the East Palace, and I won't come out.

"Yes, Your Highness, that's my uncle."

Li Jiancheng nodded, "You open the door for Gu, and when you turn around, Gu will transfer you to the East Palace to add an official." ”

The guards were indifferent.

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, he drew his sword and pointed the tip of the sword directly in front of the guard's throat.

"Open the door!"

The guard's hand pressed on the hilt of the Thousand Cow Knife, but he didn't dare to draw it. In front of him was the crown prince, and he didn't dare.

Eventually, the guards stepped aside and let their men open the door.

Lizheng Palace.

It's been more than three months, but the queen's injuries haven't healed yet. Especially if the cough is severe, taking medicine every day will not help. However, what worries the queen the most is that she will never see the prince, and the prince will be locked up in this palace, but their mother and son will not be able to see each other.

Built a sudden break-in.

He was holding a sword in his hand, and the palace people screamed in surprise and fled in all directions.

The eldest grandson stepped forward.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiancheng looked at the eldest grandson with a gloomy face, "Kill." ”

······

Wudeden.

Li Yuan was discussing with Chai Shao.

"Xiangyang is lost, Li Chao is only two hundred miles away from us, what should I do now?"

Chai Shao looked at the map and didn't know how to answer.

Xiangyang has better defense performance than Hanjing. But Xiangyang City was lost so easily, it really shouldn't be.

Feng Deyi said, "Your Majesty, it's better to hunt west for the time being." ”

"Nishikari?"

West hunting, it sounds good, it seems that the emperor went west to hunt, but in fact, he fled west.

"Follow the Han River into Hanzhong, and then into Shu. Shu is rich and has natural risks. Hunting Chengdu in the west, and then summoning King Qin's soldiers and horses, there is still a chance. ”

Li Yuan didn't speak.

There's a chance to fart, he said to himself. Once he flees westward, then Yuanji and Li Xiaogong Luo Yi's 100,000 army will be defeated by the enemy.

And if this main force is defeated, then Luoyang and Taiyuan will not be able to hold it.

In the Central Plains, there is no longer the power of the Wude Dynasty.

Go to Shu through Hanzhong.

said how easy it is, Li Chaoke is in Xiangyang. Even if they could bypass Xiangyang and go to Hanzhong, it would be easy for Li Chao to chase them.

"If I don't escape, I'm going to fight them here to the end!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth. Now, it seems that he can only hope that the army of Qi Wang Yuanji can stop Li Shimin.

But everyone knows in their hearts that this is almost impossible.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Tongguan!"

The guards hurriedly came to report.

"Bring it on!"

There was also a small box that came with the letter.

Li Yuan read the letter first, and after reading it, his face turned pale, and he personally opened the box, and it was indeed Yuanji's head.

"My son!"

Li Yuan was almost unsteady on his feet.

Chai Shao, Feng Lun and the others were also shocked when they saw Yuanji's head in the box.

I just sent my last hope to Yuanji, but now Yuanji's head is already in this box.

"Your Majesty, what about the 100,000 army?"

"The whole army was scattered, defeated and lost, and Li Shimin has captured Yuzhou."

After capturing Yuzhou, Li Shimin's next step was either to go straight to Hanjing or to go east to Luoyang. But no matter what, the Hanjing Wude Imperial Court is over.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Lizheng Palace.

Li Jiancheng's men drove out the eldest grandson queen and other concubines, princes and princesses.

After a few months, the eldest grandson queen finally got to see the crown prince Chengqian. After such a long time, the prince's face became even paler, but his eyes revealed a more mature light.

Mother and son hugged each other and cried.

It was built, but a child had been pulled directly out of the crowd.

But it is Li Shimin's second son, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, this is Li Shimin's concubine, and when Li Shimin has not succeeded to the throne, he has been succeeded to Li Shimin's younger brother Li Zhiyun, the king of Chuai.

Li Jiancheng dragged the young Li Kuan out of the crowd, and then stabbed him in the chest in front of the eldest grandson empress and the crown prince Chengqian.

"Who's next?"
