Yang Lian walked out of the imperial study, Chen Keyan was pacing outside, and when he saw him coming out, he hurriedly walked up and told him about the matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were fires in many places in the city, and there were even rangers who took the opportunity to make trouble and disturb the people, Yang Lian listened to it and frowned, which was originally expected by him, but the chaotic situation in Jinling City was beyond his imagination. This day will be one of the most nightmare days in Jinling City.

"General Chen, you immediately lead the troops out of the palace, maintain law and order, everyone goes home, if anyone does not obey the order, there will be no mercy. In addition, manpower was mobilized to arrange fire extinguishing. Yang Lian said.

Chen Keyan nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Yang Lian groaned slightly, and walked quickly to the other side.

Zhou Ye presided over the overall situation on one side, and with the efforts of his and the generals, Chen Dongshen, Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi and other civil and military officers of the Yan King and the party were captured and are being imprisoned in the house. Yang Lian asked about the situation, and walked over with Zhou Ye.

In the house, there were many courtiers imprisoned, most of whom were arrested by Li Hongji on duty in the imperial city today. King Yan's rebellion made them panic, and then, Chang Mengxi, Han Xizai and others were also imprisoned, which surprised them very much.

Li Ping, the head of the household department, was the first to ask: "Changsheren, why are you also imprisoned?" ”

Chang Mengxi was also very puzzled, he was imprisoned by Chen Keyan, but wasn't Chen Keyan a member of King Yan? Chang Mengxi didn't understand, Han Xizai didn't understand, and many of Yan Wang's party didn't understand either. In the face of Li Ping's inquiry, Chang Mengxi remained silent.

The room was crowded with people, the air was very dirty, the atmosphere gradually became restless, in the crowd, Chai Kehong's eyes flickered, he knew that today's things were not simple, but what could he do? Although he knows King Yan, he has a general relationship, Chai Kehong is pondering, if King Yan really seizes power, the Tang Dynasty will change the sky, I don't know how many people will die in this coup.

Li Ping saw that Chang Mengxi didn't speak, and asked Han Xizai instead.

Fang Jinzhao, the secretary of the military department, slowly stood up, he knew that he had a good relationship with Yang Lian, and now that King Yan had successfully rebelled, he was afraid that his life would have to be explained here. At this point, Fang Jinzhao decided to let it go, he looked at Han Xizai coldly, and said, "Han Sheren, didn't you say it?" ”

Han Xizai smiled bitterly and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" Just now, Chen Keyan suddenly sent us here. ”

"Hmph, I think the drunkard doesn't mean to be in the bar?" Fang Jinzhao sneered and said, "Today, Li Hongji rebelled and has already invaded the imperial city, and it is already a fact that he is holding the Son of Heaven hostage. Could it be that you still want to clear his name? Things have come to this point, and we are not from the Yan Wang family, I'm afraid they will all be more auspicious, right? ”

Li Pingdao: "Fang Shangshu is right, Li Hongji's rebellion is a matter of national security, and we must not sit idly by." ”

"King Yan is rebellious, be punished!" Someone shouted.

Several generals stood up and forced Chang Mengxi, Han Xizai and the others with fierce intent in their eyes, if they could kill them, they could at least pull a few backs.

"Be punished!" A few more people said, surrounding the civil and military ministers of the Yan Wang party in the core.

Just as everyone was shouting and shouting to kill, at this time, Chen Keyan walked in, his eyes swept away, and he shouted coldly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"King Yan rebelled, we will be on the side of the Qing monarch!" Someone shouted.

Fang Jinzhao looked at Chen Keyan, gritted his teeth, and said, "You ......" The words just came out, but he stopped abruptly, because he saw a very familiar face.

Yang Lian walked in, saw the appearance in the room, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Everyone, be quiet, listen to Benhou!" ”

When Li Ping saw Yang Lian, he was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Wu Hou, you, aren't you?" ”

"Do you think I'm dead?" Yang Lian laughed, waved his hand, and said, "I can't hide it, when Ben Hou received His Majesty's holy decree, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his outfit and did not have the tricks of King Zhongyan." ”

Fang Jinzhao saw far-reaching, and what surprised him was that Chen Keyan came in with Yang Lian, so wasn't Chen Keyan a person from Yan King Li Hongji? What's going on?

Yang Lian glanced at the ministers in the room, they had their own expressions, Yang Lian snorted coldly, and said, "Where are the people of King Yan's party?" ”

Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping and others hurriedly stood up and walked to the side, Chai Kehong, Zhang Yi and others also walked to the other side, leaving only Chang Mengxi, Han Xizai, Gao Yue, Xiao Yan and others.

Yang Lian walked over slowly, there were still traces of blood on his body, and the smell of blood was very strong, and he had killed a lot of people at a glance.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said, "Wu Hou, it's really unthinkable that you are still alive." ”

"You really can't imagine that if you give me that list, I will believe it? No, you are wrong, believe that it is really Your Majesty. It can be said that Your Majesty was killed by you and Li Hongji, the king of Yan. Yang Lian said lightly.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, he shouted, and said, "You, you are using me." ”

"I'm using you, but aren't you using me?" Yang Lian laughed, but there was cruelty in this smile.

Xiao Yan pinned his neck and snorted coldly.

Chang Mengxi didn't react and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Han Xizai understood, when he saw Chen Keyan and Yang Lian coming in together, he knew that King Yan was planted this time, but he didn't know how King Yan was alive and died now, and how was His Majesty?

"Although you and others are all from the Yan King family, some people instigated Li Hongji to rebel, these people are extremely evil, and some people don't know about it, and Ben Hou is not an unreasonable person, and he will definitely deal with it according to the facts." Yang Lian said.

Xiao Yan suddenly became excited and said, "Yang Lian, why should you deal with it?" I—I want to meet Your Majesty! ”

"Meet Your Majesty? Can you say that too? Do you know that the Son of Heaven has been killed by Li Hongji, a traitor! Yang Lian looked at him coldly and scolded him sharply.

"This, this can't be!" Han Xizai jumped up, looking incredulous, he knew that King Yan wanted to clear the monarch's side, or to seize power, so for him, killing political enemies was victory, and then controlling the Son of Heaven and imitating Li Shimin, he could smoothly inherit the throne, and there was no need to kill the monarch at all, such an act was too stupid.

"Impossible? Do you mean that Benhou is lying? Yang Lian asked, staring at him.

Han Xizai was a literati after all, and he unconsciously lowered his head under Yang Lian's eagle-like gaze.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Hongji rebelled, and now he has killed the Son of Heaven, and he has been ambushed, and the king of Hubei has fled, and he will be caught soon. Datang can't be without a king for a day, what do you think? Yang Lian asked.

"What?" Seeing that Yang Lian was so sure that the Son of Heaven was dead, the ministers reacted differently. Some were surprised, some were frightened, and some sneered.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Jinzhao knelt on the ground suddenly, kowtowed to the side of the house, rubbed his eyes with tears, kowtowed a few times, and then said: "Your Majesty was assassinated today, King Yan, no, Li Hongji deserves to die, but now he has been ambushed, as Wu Hou said, the Tang Dynasty cannot be without a king for a day, I think that when you are in the clan, choose the right person to inherit the throne." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "What Fang Shangshu said is not wrong, Wu Hou's opinion is to support the King of Qi, the King of Qi is originally the emperor's younger brother, and it is reasonable to inherit the throne, what do you think?" ”

"Wu Hou's words, we will second!" Li Ping said.

Immediately, Zhang Yi, Fang Jinzhao and others also agreed, Han Xizai and Chang Mengxi glanced at each other, and they both felt that the general trend had gone.

At this time, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, and Princess Huairou were placed in a room, and there were soldiers guarding the door. Princess Huairou's heart was very anxious, she didn't want to sit still, but what could she do? Although Zhou Ye has revealed his identity, the situation in the imperial city may not be able to settle down for a while.

Li Jingsui sighed slightly, things have developed to this point, and while he is surprised, he doesn't know what to do, is the imperial brother still safe? But at this time, he couldn't take care of himself, how could he take care of the safety of the imperial brother?

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded again, listening to the footsteps There were many people, Li Jing was awakened, he turned his head, took a deep breath, looked out of the door, and hesitated in his heart, who is coming?

The door finally opened, and the room lit up, Li Hongji first closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them, and at the door, a familiar voice spoke.

"The ministers respectfully invite King Qi!"

"It's Wu Hou!" Li Jingsui was surprised that Yang Lian was still alive, but soon, a trace of warmth surged in his heart.

Princess Huairou reacted faster than him, and had already walked out, and outside the door, Yang Lian led Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping, Zhou Ye, Chen Keyan and other ministers outside the door. Princess Huairou cheered and hurriedly rushed towards Yang Lian.

Li Jing walked out slowly, and when she saw Princess Huairou like this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Huairou can't be like this!" ”

Princess Huairou stuck out her tongue and cautiously stepped aside.

Li Jingsui looked at Yang Lian and said, "Wu Hou, you are safe and sound, and this king will be relieved." ”

Yang Lian was wearing armor and still had blood stains on his body, so he clenched his fists and said: "King Qi, Li Hongji rebelled, causing countless waves in the palace, and now Your Majesty and the queen have been killed by traitors, the country cannot be without a king for a day, we are willing to support King Qi as the emperor and stabilize the situation in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Jingsui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears, and said, "The emperor, the emperor, brother, did he really die?" ”

Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping and others knelt down one after another, and said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, please King Qi to succeed to the throne and inherit the unification!" ”

"Please King Qi to succeed to the throne and inherit the unification!" There were about thirty ministers in the group, and they shouted in unison.

Li Jingsui looked at Yang Lian, waved his hand, and said, "Take me to see the imperial brother first." ”

"King Qi, Weichen thinks it's better not to watch it." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui shook his head and said, "Brother Huang treats me like a father and son, I must watch it." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, King Qi is here, please." As he spoke, Yang Lian led the way in front.

Li Jingsui walked behind, and Princess Huairou pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes, and followed.

In the imperial study, it was still full of blood, the corpses of Li Jing, Empress Zhong, Li Congjia, and Li Hongji had been neatly placed on the ground, Li Congjia's face was full of consternation, while Empress Zhong and Li Jing's were full of anger and fear. Li Hongji's face was unwilling.

Li Jingsui glanced at everyone's expressions, and suddenly felt extremely sad in his heart, the same family, why is it too anxious to fry each other? If it weren't for Li Hongji's aggressiveness, he would have removed the position of the emperor's younger brother a long time ago, and the throne would not be of much interest to him. Li Jingsui looked at the dormant and painful scene, and sighed and was speechless for a long time.

"Marquis Wu, the imperial brother treats you well, and now that he has died, his funeral must be well prepared." Li Jingsui said.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "King Qi, this is natural, Your Majesty has the grace of knowing Weichen." ”

Li Jingsui was silent, and was silent for a long time, and said, "Li Hongji is dead, what happened to his subordinates?" ”

"King Qi, Weichen has asked people to quell the rebellion in the city and clear the remnants of King Yan. If you want to come today, you can deal with it. Yang Lian asked.

"This is the sorrow of the Tang Dynasty, the sorrow of Jinling, and the sorrow of the Li family. Li Jingsui said.

Yang Lian promised and said, "King Qi, no, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, which is a blessing for the country." ”

Li Jingsui waved his hand and said, "The affairs of Jinling City will be handed over to you to deal with with with it all, I, I am here, I want to be quiet." ”

"Whoa!" Yang Lian slowly retreated, and before leaving, let Chen Keyan guard this place, while he took Zhou Ye and the others to prepare to leave the imperial city.

At this time, the situation in Jinling City was still very chaotic, and the rangers formed gangs, burning and looting everywhere to seize wealth. Several of Li Jing's sons, such as Li Congshan, King of Zheng, Li Congyi, King of Deng, Li Congqian, King Ji and others, were all attacked by rangers, Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi, and even the dead Zhou Situ's mansion, there were also many rangers robbing everywhere, making people panic.

At this time, the subordinates sent by Chen Keyan had already stabilized the situation in the city, but due to the lack of troops, the situation could not be completely stabilized for a while, so Yang Lian had to rush to the Praetorian Guard camp in person and mobilized Liu Yanzhen's subordinates with military talismans.

Liu Yanzhen knew what was happening today, but he didn't choose who to support, but silently observed, if King Yan wins, with his status, he can at least get a place in the new dynasty, and if King Qi wins, he can also serve King Qi.
