"What's going on?" Seeing the flames in the northwest direction, Li Shimin's face couldn't help but sink, and he immediately asked, this is the southeast corner of the palace, and there are no other buildings in the northwest except the palace, if the palace is on fire during Li Yuan's funeral, this is not a good sign.

The people in the Stopping Spirit Hall also didn't know what was going on, and immediately someone rushed to the northwest, ready to check and report again, but the fire had also alarmed the palace, and at this time, many people rushed to the Stopping Spirit Hall to escort, after all, compared to the fire, Li Shimin's safety was the most important.

The people guarding the spirit in the hall were also alarmed at this time, Li Xiu took the lead to come outside the hall, and saw the fire in the northwest direction at a glance, which made him stunned, and then he saw many people swarming from outside the hall, including the palace guards, and many officials, such as Li Xiu, who saw Pei Lin in the crowd at a glance.

When he saw Pei Lin in the crowd, Li Xiu was stunned, and immediately understood what was going on, it seemed that Pei Lin was already planning to do it, but Li Xiu didn't expect him to be so bold that he actually burned the palace, but he didn't know which palace was burned, and how did Pei Lin plan to transfer Li Shimin away?

"Your Majesty, there are many people in the Stopping Spirit Palace, it is really not suitable for you to stay longer, please move to the Liangyi Palace!" At this moment, I saw Pei Lin lining up everyone to salute Li Shimin.

The Stopping Spirit Hall is next to the Taimiao, also in the southeast corner of the imperial city, here to explain, the imperial city is divided into two parts, the second half is where Li Shimin lives and works, that is, the Taiji Palace, and the first half of the imperial city is the core of some administrative institutions of the imperial court, as well as some important palace buildings, such as Shangshu Province, Jiang Zuojian, Honglu Temple, Taimiao, etc., are in the first half of the imperial city.

Taiji Palace is the place where the emperor lives and works, equivalent to the emperor's private place, so it is naturally heavily guarded, in contrast, the first half of the imperial city because of the large number of institutions, the identities of the people who enter and exit are different, some important ministers can even take people into the imperial city at will, and there are many people who need to go to Shangshu Province or will be a supervisor to do things, so that the defense is naturally much looser, even if the Soul Stopping Temple has strengthened the guard, but it still cannot be compared with the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, please move!" When the other ministers heard Pei Yuan's words, they all stepped forward to agree at this time, it is now Li Yuan's mourning period, which can be said to be very special, but at this time, the palace is on fire, which makes many people smell a sense of conspiracy, but in any case, it is definitely not wrong to ensure Li Shimin's safety now.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, although he knew that Pei Lin and these people were also thinking about the society of the Tang Dynasty, after all, in this unclear situation, the wisest thing to do was to protect his safety, but he was an emperor immediately, and the sword mountains and blood seas on the battlefield had broken through, so he was naturally not afraid of any danger.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw the people sent out rushing to report: "Your Majesty, it is Da'an Palace that is on fire!" ”

"What?" Hearing that it was Da'an Palace that caught fire, Li Shimin's eyebrows also stood up suddenly, and the ministers below were even more discussed, after all, Da'an Palace was Li Yuan's bedroom over the years, but now as soon as Li Yuan died, Da'an Palace caught fire, if someone did it on purpose, then this person must be ill-intentioned, if it was just an unintentional fire, it would only be worse, because it is likely that someone will use the theory of ghosts and gods to cause rumors that are unfavorable to Li Shimin.

"Swing, I want to go to Da'an Palace in person!" Li Shimin immediately ordered, as soon as Li Yuan died, there was a fire in Da'an Palace, if there were no ghosts in it, I'm afraid no one would believe it, at least Li Shimin believed that there must be someone making trouble, so he must find out the people behind this matter, so that he understands that the majesty of the Son of Heaven cannot be violated!

Although Li Shimin was calm on the surface, everyone could see that Li Shimin was also angry at this time, so no one dared to say anything, and the guards in the Stopping Spirit Hall immediately gathered and escorted Li Shimin to Da'an Palace, and even Empress Changsun was sent back to Taiji Palace by Li Shimin, after all, he was also worried that there was really some conspiracy in it.

Li Shimin left, some of the ministers, such as Fang Xuanling and others also followed to Da'an Palace, Pei Lin was responsible for presiding over Li Yuan's funeral, and now that Li Shimin was not there, he naturally took on the task of guarding the Stopping Spirit Palace, because Li Shimin's guards were taken away, and the guards of the Stopping Spirit Hall were also a little insufficient, so Pei Lin gathered the remaining guards, and then redistributed them for them, don't look at Pei Lin as a civil official, but when Li Yuan raised the army, he also followed the army to fight, so he was also very familiar with military affairs.

Li Xiu had been quietly watching Pei Lian's performance, but he doubted that Pei Lian had taken this opportunity to send that fake Li Yuan in, after all, the entire Soul Stopping Hall was now under his control, and it was not difficult to secretly let someone in.

However, after Pei Lin finished dealing with other affairs of the Stopping Spirit Palace, he suddenly walked in front of Li Xiu and said, "Horse, such a big change has happened in the palace, I am worried about the body of the Emperor Taishang, why don't we go in and visit it together?" ”

The mourning hall is divided into two parts, the front and back, Li Yuan's coffin is parked behind, and only on the first seven days, other people will be allowed to pay homage to Li Yuan's remains, usually no one is allowed to enter, of course, occasionally someone has to go in to sort out Li Yuan's remains, to prevent any insects and ants from hurting Li Yuan's body, after all, even if it is the palace, it can't prevent termites, rats and the like.

"This ...... All right! Li Xiu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded and said, in fact, he was also very curious about Pei Lian's methods, even if the Stopping Spirit Hall had been controlled by Pei Lian, but it was not an easy task to exchange the real and fake Li Yuan, and to send Li Yuan out of the palace under so many guards.

Seeing Li Xiu agree, Pei Lin also showed a smile that you know and I know at the moment, at this time it was getting late, and there were not many people guarding the spirit, Li Xiu was Li Shimin's most trusted person, and Pei Lin was Li Yuan's most trusted person, so it was normal for the two of them to go in to check Li Yuan's body, and it didn't attract too many people's attention.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Pei Lin lifted the heavy curtains, and finally came to the position where Li Yuan's coffin was placed, the lid of the coffin was not covered, and before the burial, the coffin was forbidden to land, so the entire coffin was placed on a high platform, and if you want to see the situation in the coffin, you must walk up the steps.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Pei Lin climbed the high platform together, and then looked into the coffin, but what Li Xiu never expected was that the coffin where the body was originally placed was empty, which scared him so much that Li Yuan's body could be gone?
