Li Xiu rode on his horse and galloped to Chang'an, but when he came to the Mingde Gate, he found that the city gate was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, which made Li Xiu also feel very surprised, after all, the rumors about Li Chengqian had also spread outside the city, and the Su family could also come out of the city, which showed that the city gate was allowed to enter and exit before, why is the city gate closed now?

At that moment, Li Xiu personally stepped forward to call the door, and the general guarding the gate naturally recognized him, and hurriedly went down to the city to open the city gate in person, at this time Li Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why is the city gate closed, what happened in the city?" ”

The guard of the city gate was nervous at this time, and he clasped his hands into fists and said: "The prince doesn't know, the last general has just received an order, saying that the city wants to arrest the prince's remnants, and in order to prevent these people from escaping from the city, the city gate is closed!" ”

When he passed by Suzaku Street, he found that although the people in the city were living as usual, because of the news of Li Chengqian's rebellion, and the city gate was closed, the atmosphere in the city was a little more tense, and even the pedestrians on the street were much less.

When Li Xiu came to the imperial city, he felt that the atmosphere in the imperial city was even more tense, and there were patrolling guards everywhere, even he was closely interrogated, and finally came to the Liangyi Palace, and finally found that the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers were here, and even Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and others, who had just been promoted to prime minister some time ago, were also here, but Li Shimin was the only one who was missing.

Li Xiu's arrival also attracted the attention of the ministers in the palace, and some people saluted him at the moment, but Li Xiu didn't care about returning the salute at this time, but walked quickly to the front of the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "Brother eldest grandson, where is Your Majesty?" ”

"After Your Majesty imprisoned the crown prince, he locked himself in the Manna Hall and saw no one, but only sent a decree for us to deal with the prince's rebellion together!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji also replied with a wry smile at this time, Li Shimin refused to come forward, and now most of the burden fell on him, but for such a big matter, it was impossible for him to make the decision for Li Shimin, so he could only interrogate the party henchmen involved in the case first, and then arrest these people first.

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji's answer, Li Xiu knew that the original order to close the city gate was given by the eldest grandson Wuji, but now that Li Shimin locked himself in the Ganlu Hall and saw no one, it was impossible for him to break in, and it seemed that it was difficult to see Li Shimin today.

"By the way, how is the prince now, have the rebel accomplices been interrogated clearly?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of Li Chengqian at this time, and asked again at the moment.

"Prince...... The crown prince has been imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and his henchmen have also been interrogated clearly, in addition to Du He, Zhao Jiedong's ministers, there are also Li Anyan and other forbidden army generals, and more seriously, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, and Hou Junji, the general, are also involved in this rebellion, at least they are also insiders, so now I have sent people to arrest these people. Eldest Sun Wuji sighed at this time and said.

Among these Li Chengqian's comrades, the most surprising to the eldest grandson Wuji was Hou Junji, he never thought that Hou Junji would actually participate in Li Chengqian's rebellion, and he was also a very key figure in it, as for Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, he was not surprised, but before Li Shimin demoted Li Yuanchang to other places, but did not sever the contact between Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang, they had already searched the East Palace for Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang's correspondence, and determined that Li Yuanchang had also instigated Li Chengqian to rebel.

Li Xiu did not feel any surprise when he heard these people involved in the rebellion, even if his crossing changed the direction of history, but the fate of many people still did not change, because their own character is Li Xiu can not change, and character determines a person's fate, and Li Chengqian is the most significant example, although Li Xiu has cultivated him since childhood, his inner character has not changed much, which led to today's end.

"By the way, I heard that the crown princess escaped from the East Palace and went straight out of the city, it won't be you, right?" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji also thought of something, and quietly asked Li Xiu at the moment, although the crown princess is a woman, but after all, she is Li Chengqian's wife, and now Li Chengqian is rebelling, it is said that the crown princess will also be implicated, and even be imprisoned together.

"The princess is a loving and righteous woman, after seeing me and the princess, she knelt down and begged us to save the prince's life without saying a word, and the princess was afraid that she would not be able to think about it for a while, so she was left to comfort her in the house." Li Xiu said with a wry smile at this time, the crown princess is with Princess Pingyang, and I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will not dare to arrest anyone if he has a few guts.

"Hehe, it seems that the crown princess is really a smart woman, and she knows that you are the most soft-hearted, so she was the first to run to you for help." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled again at this time, but there was a little dissatisfaction in the smile.

Li Xiu also found the dissatisfaction on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, and after a little thought, he understood that if in terms of kinship, the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be closer than his uncle, but the crown princess went to him for help instead of the eldest grandson Wuji, such an obvious contrast naturally made the eldest grandson Wuji a little unhappy.

Of course, if the crown princess really goes to ask the eldest grandson Wuji, I'm afraid he won't agree to anything, and even only start from his own interests, in contrast, Li Xiu is more emotional, and it is estimated that the crown princess also saw this, so she ran to Li Xiu outside the city to ask for help.

"Except for people like Zhao Jie and Hou Junji who did participate in the rebellion, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will be implicated, such as the subordinate officials of the East Palace, I'm afraid none of them will be able to escape." Li Xiu was reluctant to discuss the matter of the crown princess with the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with some emotion again at the moment, there are many subordinate officials in the East Palace, even if these people are not involved in the rebellion, they also have the responsibility of teaching unfavorably and supervising laxly, I am afraid that at least they are a degraded official.

"There is no way to do this, and the prince has ended up like this, and the subordinate officials of the East Palace are indeed responsible, but one person escaped because of this." The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed with emotion when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"Brother Eldest Sun is talking about the King of Qi?" Li Xiu also reacted immediately when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Originally, in the original history, Li You's rebellion was suppressed, and then escorted to Chang'an for interrogation, and after the interrogation was clear, Li Shimin directly killed him, and as soon as Li You died, Li Chengqian's rebellion broke out, but Li Shimin was willing to kill Li You, but he was not willing to kill Li Chengqian, which shows Li Shimin's partiality.

"Yes, with my understanding of Your Majesty, I'm afraid Your Majesty should be reluctant to kill the crown prince, if the prince doesn't die, King Qi, who also rebelled, will naturally escape." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded at this time, and when he said this, he also sighed a little at Li You's shit luck, and he could still save his life in this situation.

Regarding the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu also nodded in agreement, but at this moment, he suddenly saw an inner attendant rushing from outside the palace and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Zhao Guogong and Yan Guogong will meet you!" ”

Hearing that Li Shimin let himself and the eldest grandson Wuji meet, Li Xiu was also overjoyed immediately, and then went out of the Liangyi Hall with the eldest grandson Wuji, and went straight to Li Shimin's dormitory Ganlu Palace, the Ganlu Hall already belongs to the forbidden land of the inner palace, and foreign ministers are never allowed to enter at ordinary times, but today's situation is special, and Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji are also unimpeded along the way.

When the two entered the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin met the two in his private study, but when Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin, they couldn't help but be stunned, because in just one night, Li Shimin's originally gray hair was all white, and his face was also blue and white, looking extremely haggard.

"Your Majesty must weigh your body, and you must not hurt your body because of this!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately stepped forward to persuade him, the expression on his face was also very sincere, although he was very selfish, but he was very loyal to Li Shimin, especially the two were friends who grew up together, and now seeing Li Shimin's appearance, he didn't feel very good in his heart.

"It's okay, I can hold on!" I saw Li Shimin raise his hand at this time, but his voice was very dry, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"How is the investigation going, and who is involved in this matter?" Li Shimin asked again at this time, he had been locked in the Ganlu Hall without seeing outsiders, and naturally he didn't know the results of the investigation outside.

"This is the list of all those who participated in the rebellion, please look at it!" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji took out the fold that had been prepared from his arms and sent it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin immediately took it and opened it, but when he saw the name of Hou Junji on the list, his face suddenly flushed, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood with a "wow", which made the eldest grandson Wuji also frightened, and immediately shouted: "Come on, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

At this time, Li Xiu also stepped forward to support Li Shimin and helped rub his chest, but at this time he found that Li Shimin's whole person had been put in the chair, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, which made Li Xiu extremely anxious, but there was no way, after all, like Li Shimin, it was an internal injury that was angry, and it may be in the lungs, and he couldn't do anything about it.

After a while, the imperial doctor also hurried over, and gave Li Shimin some first aid at the moment, fortunately, although Li Shimin vomited blood angrily, but his life was not in danger, but the imperial doctor said that Li Shimin had been injured and it was best to recuperate with peace of mind, which made Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji also look at each other and smile bitterly, now in this case, how can Li Shimin be able to recuperate with peace of mind?
