However, there are exceptions to everything.

The atmosphere in the Yangchuan Royal Mansion was a little different at the moment, and this difference made the two Zuo Shence Army guards squatting outside the palace also aware of it.

"They're not going to rush out." The pawn rubbed his ears and jumped to his feet and asked.

"What are you doing rushing out, are you rebelling, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, only fools do that." The old pawn was a little careless.

"So if they really want to rush out, should we shoot arrows?"

"I said you're stupid, you're really stupid, don't kiss your family, shoot him, you just wait for your life."

"However, without a will, it is a crime of deception, and it is to be killed."

"Kill your head?! That's my brother. ”

"Brother? The royal family talks about rules, what is a brother. ”

As soon as the two soldiers talked about this, the door of the Yangchuan Palace's mansion creaked open, but the door opened but there was no one inside, and the two were stretching their necks in surprise, and suddenly the six horsemen jumped out and castrated into the dragon.

"Knock, knock, knock the gong."

The old pawn came back to his senses first, snatched the gong from the pawn's hand, and prepared to strike the warning.

A feathered arrow slashed through the air and stuck in front of his toes, and the white feathers trembled in the night sky.

"Bang", the gong fell to the ground, but only made a muffled sound. Two days ago, there was a snow in Chang'an City, and Li Wei, the king of Yangchuan, said that he was afraid that he would slip in and out, so he laid a meadow in the open space in front of the door. This meadow is soft and soft when stepped on, like a thick carpet, and the gong falls on the ground naturally without sounding.

"Don't scream, whoever calls kills whom."

The two guards of the palace pounced like two black panthers, and the snowy horizontal knives pressed against the necks of the two pawns, and the pawns knelt down obediently. The atmosphere did not dare to say a word.

The six horsemen walked not far and were found by the soldiers patrolling the streets, the gong of warning sounded loudly, the soldiers jumped, shouted, formed a human wall to intercept, how could the six horsemen come like a tiger, and did not treat people as people, the soldiers scattered and fled, and the siege failed.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the kings moved to their fiefs after opening their mansions. Since the time of Wu Zetian, the newly feudal kings no longer go to the fiefdom, but stay in the capital to live in a concentrated manner. Tang Xuanzong built ten princes' mansions in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, for the princes to live, sent eunuchs to supervise, and built a city to connect Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, in order to prepare for the palace to see.

The Ten Princes' Mansion was later expanded to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and there were not only sixteen princes living there, but it was retained as a customary place name. In order to protect the safety of the kings and to isolate the kings from the commoners, the south two sides of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion were rebuilt with city walls, forming a four-sided encirclement with the Chang'an City Wall in the northeast.

Now that the four gates are closed, the birds can still enter and exit freely, but the horses that do not have wings cannot fly through.

When the pursuers arrived, their hearts were relieved, and they slowly pressed in, not wanting to anger the people who violated the ban.

When the six horsemen came to the door, the leader shouted, "Obey the order to beg the thief, and wait for them to disperse." ”

The guards discarded their weapons and ran away with their heads in their hands.

The four of them flew off their horses and walked quickly to the gate, two of them pushed the latch of the door, and the two of them pushed the door hard, and the strength of the four of them pushed the heavy gate open, and in the creaking sound, the door revealed a gap.

The other two horsemen saw the door open, and each of them grabbed his horse's belly, and scurried out of the crack in the door with a thud.

The four men who opened the door were busy closing the gate again, and the pursuers swarmed forward, knocked down the four of them, pressed them with the barrel of their guns, and when they opened the door and went to chase the two horsemen, how could there be any human figures on the street at night?

When it was a watch, on the empty street outside the mansion of the sixteen kings, there were more than 20 riders. They were lined with soft armor, covered with gorgeous clothes, girded with a palm-wide leather belt, and carried broken blades, but they had no bows and crossbows.

"They're not going to stop."

Qingmo whispered in Li Mao's ear, they had been waiting here for half an hour, but there was still no movement in the direction of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion.

"Hold your breath."

Li Mao only replied with three words, and then stopped talking. The twenty horsemen behind him are all Li Chun and Li Wei's people, and it is the first time they have met each other, and on such a sensitive occasion, they can't be misunderstood because of words.

"Here, King Guangling and King Yangchuan are here."

Seeing the two horses coming from the direction of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, everyone suddenly became excited.

"The courtier Ju Wenzhen and the fifth Shouliang want to murder the prince, and you will follow me into the palace to beg for thieves."

Li Chun, the king of Guangling, shouted the order, and Li Wei, the king of Yangchuan, took out a golden ribbon from his arms and distributed it to everyone.

The crowd wrapped the ribbon around their left arm as a token. Li Chun's gaze slid over everyone's faces in turn, these more than 20 people, except for Li Mao, Qin Mo, and Mo Qishentong, were all ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, they had passion, drive and courage, but they lacked a little experience in doing big things.

This defect Li Mao and the three of them were just able to make up.

Li Chun nodded to Li Mao, motioned for him to follow his right hand, and turned his horse to run in the direction of Daming Palace.

……

In the Huining Hall of Daming Palace, sixty-four-year-old Li Shi came to the end of his life, he lay there, looking at the crying concubines and the hurried eunuchs, these are the people he trusts the most, he is the closest, their number is in the thousands, but now, when the darkness of the netherworld beckons to him, he finds that he is still a lonely person, and none of the thousands of people he favors can share the loneliness of the last moment of his life.

"Alone, I ended up alone."

A tear quietly slipped down Li Shi's cheeks, and none of the crying palace concubines and busy eunuchs noticed it.

Li ...... Li ......"

Li Shi's throat squirmed hard, and the privy envoy Ju Wenzhen hurriedly whispered to him, but only heard the word "Li".

"Everyone summoned Shu King Li Yi, where is Li Yi?"

"Summoning the king of Shu to meet him."

Several eunuchs shouted at the top of their voices.

Li Shi couldn't speak with his mouth open, what he actually wanted to call was Li Yu.

In the palace of the sixteen kings, Li Yi, the king of Shu, walked around anxiously, the news in the palace came every other tea, and in the courtyard of the palace, three horses were ready to go, ready to bring him to the critically ill Tang Dynasty Emperor at any time, and accept the ancestral Sheji, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers entrusted by his most favored uncle before his death.

"Xuan, King Xuanshu, Li, Li Yi to meet you."

Two Qing guests rushed to the place with a eunuch proclaiming the decree, and the eunuch was out of breath and panting. Li Yi frowned, and hurried out: "You mean, everyone summoned me to the palace, me?" Hahaha......"

Outside the Huining Palace, Li Yixing rushed inside, and the privy envoy Ju Wenzhen came out, hugged him, and shouted: "My good king, everyone's lives are hanging by a thread, how can you still laugh?" ”

"Laugh? Yes, yes, I have to cry, I ...... What happened to my majesty, what happened to your majesty. Li Yi asked wiping his tears.

Seeing that Li Yi's comprehension was so high, Ju Wenzhen was deeply pleased, and said with a sad face: "Dawang Hugh wants to ask again, everyone is speechless, you see him, don't speak, just cry, cry, understand." ”

Li Yi nodded again and again, stretched out his hand to grab his hair, stumbled inside, and as soon as he entered the Huining Palace, he fell to the ground and cried loudly. ”

Li Shi's mouth was open, and he was weakly holding Ju Wenzhen's robe with one hand, but he couldn't get anything. (Dissertation College)
