Although Li Chengqian's crown prince was abolished, Li Shimin still let him live in the East Palace temporarily, to be precise, let Li Chengqian pack up his things, and the imperial court should also prepare to escort Li Chengqian to Quzhou, which will take time, so Li Chengqian does not have to move out before he is ready.

Li Xiu came to the East Palace in a carriage and found that it seemed to be no different from before on the surface, but in fact, the guards had doubled, after all, Li Chengqian was still under strict guard, and the East Palace was actually more like a big prison for him, and ordinary people could not easily enter and exit.

Li Xiu got out of the carriage and stepped forward, but the guards of the East Palace stopped him and said, "The forbidden place of the East Palace is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach!" ”

This is the second time that Li Xiu has been blocked out of the door today, these guards of the East Palace are all rearranged by Li Shimin, and they don't know him at all, and even if they know him, with Li Chengqian's current situation, I'm afraid they won't let him in easily.

"In Xiayan Guogong Li Xiu, I want to visit ......the prince" Li Xiu reported his identity, and originally wanted to say that he was visiting the prince, but suddenly thought that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince had been abolished, which made him smile bitterly and change his words, "I want to visit my student Li Chengqian!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's identity, the guard was also startled, and then his face softened and said again: "Guogong, wait a minute, we can't be the master of this matter, we need to ask the general!" ”

Li Xiu also understood the other party, nodded at the moment, and then the guards rushed away, but after a while, he saw a tall and burly general coming quickly, when he was far away, Li Xiu thought that the other party was Xue Rengui, but when the other party approached him, he found that this general was even taller than Xue Rengui, with a big face and a beard in the four directions, which looked like the legendary Zhang Fei.

"The last general, Xi Jun, buy to see Yan Guogong!" I saw the other party striding forward, and saluted Li Xiu in a voice like Hong Chuan, but even if he bent over, others had to look up at him, and this head was estimated to be at least two meters up.

"Xi Jun buys! Are you the Xi Junmai who has broken through 100 armies? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the other party's name.

At the beginning, Li Shimin went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, but he encountered the Tubo army to invade the Tang Dynasty, and Xi Junmai shined in this battle, Li Xiu had already heard the name of this fierce general, and originally planned to see him when he returned to Chang'an, but when he came back, Li Shimin lived in Luoyang for a long time, and then too many things happened, causing Li Xiu to forget about seeing Xi Junmai.

"Hey, hey~, I didn't expect you to hear the name of the last general." Hearing Li Xiu mention his most proud achievements, Xi Junmai couldn't help scratching his head and laughing, Li Xiu didn't expect that this fierce general on the battlefield usually looked very honest.

"General Xi is polite, speaking of which, thanks to your ability to defeat Tubo in a short period of time, this allows Your Majesty to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen with peace of mind, originally I planned to meet you as a fierce general when I came back, but I didn't expect that too many things happened later, and I haven't been able to find time, are you now being sent to the East Palace on duty?" When Li Xiu said the end, he also asked curiously.

"Yes, after returning from Tubo last time, His Majesty rewarded us for meritorious deeds, my original position was not high, but His Majesty liked me very much, so he sent me to be the guard of Tonghua Gate, some time ago there was an accident in the East Palace, and I was transferred to the East Palace to garrison, and no one was allowed to enter or leave." Xi Junmai also replied very honestly at this time, he was tall and loud, even if he spoke in an ordinary voice, he still felt deafening.

Hearing that Li Shimin actually transferred Xi Junmai to guard the city gate, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that Li Shimin also plans to keep Xi Junmai for his son, just like Xue Rengui, but Xi Junmai looks very honest, and I don't know how accomplished he is in the art of war? However, it should not be able to compare with a general like Xue Rengui, who is both civil and military.

"General Xi, I want to go into the East Palace to visit Cheng Qian, I wonder if you can be accommodating?" Li Xiu exchanged a few words with Xi Junmai at the moment, and then opened his mouth to ask.

"This ......" Xi Junmai couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment when he heard Li Xiu's request, because the order he received from guarding the East Palace was to strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, even if Li Xiu's identity was not ordinary, it still made him feel very embarrassed.

"The Duke of the Kingdom forgives the sin, Your Majesty trusts the last general, so he transferred the last general to the East Palace to garrison, and His Majesty's order is to strictly prohibit anyone's entry and exit, so without His Majesty's permission, the last general will not dare to let anyone in!" In the end, I saw that Xi Junmai still opened his mouth and refused, he had already heard of Li Xiu's name, and he admired Li Xiu very much, but he only had orders in his head, and he was only loyal to Li Shimin, so without Li Shimin's consent, he would not let anyone enter or leave the East Palace.

Seeing that Xi Junmai did not agree to go in by himself, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he also knew that Xi Junmai's duty was, and it was normal not to let himself in, after all, loyalty is a virtue.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I won't embarrass General Xi, but I brought some things for Cheng Qian, I wonder if General Xi can transfer them to him?" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, when he came, he bought some of Li Chengqian's favorite dishes in Zhengnan Building, and he wanted to accompany him for a few drinks, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get in at all.

"That's fine!" Xi Junmai immediately agreed, he still has this right.

Seeing Xi Junmai agree, Li Xiu immediately turned around and took off the food box in the car, and then handed it to Xi Junmai and asked him to hand it over to Li Chengqian, and then turned around and prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard a surprised voice from the gate of the East Palace behind him: "Mr. is really you!" ”

Li Xiu immediately turned around again when he heard the sound, only to find that Li Zhi was actually standing in the palace gate, which made him surprise and said, "Pheasant slave, why are you here?" ”

Li Zhi also ran out of the palace gate in surprise at this time and came to Li Xiu and said: "I asked my father to visit my eldest brother, and my father agreed, but I came directly to the East Palace from Taiji Palace, and I just said a few words to my eldest brother, and I heard that Mr. was coming, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be really Mr., but why didn't Mr. go in?" ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect the East Palace to be so tightly guarded in advance, so I didn't get your father's permission, so I couldn't enter." Li Xiu said with a wry smile at this time.

"So that's the case, but don't go, sir, I have a warrant from my father, let's go visit my eldest brother together!" After Li Zhi finished speaking, he pulled Li Xiu and walked to the East Palace, and also showed Li Shimin's warrant to Xi Junmai, so Xi Junmai naturally let him go immediately.
