Chapter 726: Emperor Daxing

Wang Ping'an's horses are good, and they run extremely fast, and Ouyang Li's horses are also good, although they can't keep up, but the distance they pull is not far.

But those Beiya soldiers who reported the news were not good, they galloped day and night, and the horses they brought were already exhausted, and now they are running continuously, where can they stand it?

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Ping'an and the others disappeared into the night, and the leading general was in a hurry, shouting from behind: "Wang Tingshi, please go slowly, you wait for the general to speak clearly, wait for us!" ”

The distance was widened, it was almost a mile, and it was the middle of the night, in the middle of the run, the sound of horses' hooves, where could Wang Ping'an hear his shouting? What's more, what is there to say clearly, as soon as Wang Ping'an received the letter, he knew what was going on!

The soldiers and generals of the Northern Ya couldn't, so they had to follow behind, hurrying slowly, just begging not to pull too far. However, when their mounts ran to Gyeongju, they were already dead, and returning to Chang'an from Gyeongju was simply unsupportable. After only half an hour of running, the horses were all gone!

The soldiers and generals of Beiya were the best soldiers, and when they saw that the war horses could not run, they all knew in their hearts that it was useless to let these war horses rest, and it was impossible to recover at all, so they had to go to the side of the road to find villages and towns, and wanted to buy horses. But if you delay like this, you will never be able to catch up with Wang Ping'an!

Wang Ping'an's crotch white dragon horse, is one of the best horses, the four hooves flying, just like the arrow from the string, flying also like running along the road, after a short time, it came to the fork in the road, Wang Ping'an did not know the road, had to stop, waiting for Ouyang Li to catch up.

Ouyang Li and the other brothers followed in a blink of an eye, pointing out the way, and everyone then ran forward!

All the way non-stop, when the sky dawned, came to a small town, Wang Ping'an reined in the horse to rest, Ouyang Li and other brothers went to find food, and found fine materials for the mount. But they also all understand that after this trip, except for the white dragon horse, the rest of the war horses are afraid that they will all be scrapped, even if they can't even pull the cart, they will be crippled!

The town is too small to have any horses. After Wang Ping'an rested, when he returned to the road, Ouyang Li only bought two horses, and he rode instead, only he could keep up with Wang Ping'an, and the rest of the brothers could only follow from afar!

Taking a shortcut, although it is not as far away as taking the official road, but if you don't change horses, if you want to run the whole distance in one go, it is also very difficult! When the white dragon horse galloped into the afternoon, its speed began to slow down, and even if it was a masterful horse, it couldn't help running like this.

Wang Ping'an had to let the white dragon horse trot for a while, and then gallop, alternately, but even so, it was much faster than ordinary horses, and when it was dark, he galloped into the Gyeonggi area, almost breaking the horse running record of this era, and Ouyang Li They had long since disappeared, and no one followed!

The speed can no longer be raised, but always run to the city wall outside the city wall, Wang Ping'an across the moat, looking at the city, you can see the city gate is full of black flags, the lanterns hung are also white, and there is no trace of bright color!

Wang Ping'an reined in the white dragon horse, standing on the other side of the moat in a daze, by the moonlight, he looked at the quiet city wall, and his heart was cold!

It's over, I came back one step late, and the emperor died!

Wang Ping'an slowly slid off the horse, he had been running for so long, the thighs of both legs were worn to the skin, if he hadn't held it in one breath, he would have fallen off the horse a long time ago, and now the breath in his chest was released, and naturally he couldn't sit still anymore!

If you want to say sad, he is really sad, Li Shimin is a good emperor, and he is really good to him, people are gone, it is strange that he is not sad!

Wang Ping'an sat on the ground, crying loudly, his crying, the white dragon horse was also frightened, the white dragon horse kept neighing, I don't know what was wrong with the master, circled around him, and even lay down, wanting Wang Ping'an to ride up again. But the white dragon horse was also too tired, and he couldn't stand up when he lay down, but he couldn't stop hissing!

Holding the neck of the white dragon horse, Wang Ping'an howled and cried bitterly, and the cry was heard far away in the middle of the night, alarming the defenders of the city!

The guards are afraid at this time, the old emperor has died, and the political situation in the DPRK and China will definitely change.

It was when people's hearts were unstable, and they suddenly heard someone below making a loud cry of sorrow, and the guards picked up lanterns and looked down, but the city was bright and the city was dark, but they couldn't see who was crying down there!

The captain who led the troops shouted below: "Who, who is crying below, please report your name?" He said politely, because during the day today, the officials in the Gyeonggi area have already returned one after another to mourn, and the following person may have been late and waited until it was dark. But those who can get the news so quickly are naturally not petty officials, how dare they offend!

Wang Ping'an hoarsely shouted: "I am Wang Ping'an, the assassin of Gyeongju, you quickly pick me up, I want to enter the palace!" Then he began to cry again.

The lieutenant was taken aback, Wang Ping'an came back from Gyeongju? How can it be so fast! However, there is no need to doubt this, even if you want to pretend, no one can pretend to be Wang Ping'an. The lieutenant hurriedly gave the order, first down two soldiers, then down a large bathtub, and finally down a large basket.

The two soldiers, carrying the large bath, went to the moat, pushed the bath into the river, and they sat down together, paddling with their scabbards, and crossed the moat. There is no way, the moat in Chang'an is too wide, and the suspension bridge cannot be placed, so you can only use this stupid method.

On the other side of the river, the soldiers helped Wang Ping'an into the bathtub, one person stayed behind to take care of the white dragon horse, while the other person paddled the bathtub and carried Wang Ping'an back, and then put Wang Ping'an into a big basket and pulled up the city wall.

Wang Ping'an entered Chang'an City, rode on the horse again, and rushed to the palace gate, at this time the palace gate closed early, Wang Ping'an had to wait outside, the guards flew to report Li Zhi, and then opened the small door and took Wang Ping'an into the palace.

After a long toss, Wang Ping'an arrived at the main hall of the palace and met Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi was wearing linen and filial piety, and was sitting in the main hall to keep a watch, and Li Shimin's coffin was stopped in the hall, and almost all the three-grade members in the outer hall were here, and everywhere was white filial piety, and the ministers were guarding the spirit of Emperor Daxing.

Li Zhi learned that Wang Ping'an had returned, and before he saw Wang Ping'an, he shouted in the hall: "No disease, no disease, why did you come back!" As he spoke, he began to cry.

As soon as the prince cried, although the ministers were exhausted from crying, they could only cry along, and in the blink of an eye, inside and outside the main hall, there were all crying.

Before Wang Ping'an entered the courtyard, he knelt down, walked in on his knees, cried as he went, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you just leave, throwing down this Tang Dynasty, but what should you do if you want your ministers to wait......

Li Zhi stood up, stumbled out, and when he ran to the outer hall, he saw Wang Ping'an, he fell down, sat on the ground and cried, Wang Ping'an crawled to him, and the two hugged each other, both crying loudly!

The two brothers and sisters hugged their heads and cried like this, looking at the eyes of other ministers, they didn't have a good taste in their hearts. It is really a son of heaven and a courtier, this saying is really true, although the prince has not yet ascended the throne, it can be seen from the current scene that his most trusted confidant is Wang Ping'an, and the Tang Dynasty is about to enter the era of Wang Ping'an!

The eldest grandson Wuji also shook his head and sighed, he would not be jealous of Wang Ping'an, Li Zhi is his nephew, and he will be the emperor, and in a few years, Wang Ping'an is his nephew and son-in-law, no matter how you say it, it is a family, but he is the eldest elder, and there is nothing to be jealous of, anyway, he will listen to him!

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi supported each other, entered the inner hall together, knelt in front of the emperor's coffin, and wept bitterly again. At this time, the little eunuch sent Wang Ping'an a filial piety dress and a filial piety hat, Wang Ping'an put it on, knelt with Li Zhi, and kept a vigil for the emperor.

The hall is full of ever-bright lights, the lights are brilliant, but they are full of smoke, and it is very uncomfortable to wait in the hall, but at this time they want to go out to breathe, which is a big disrespectful behavior, so Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi can only kneel in front of the brazier, while burning paper, while whispering.

Li Zhi wiped away his tears, he cried for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and whispered to Wang Ping'an: "It's all to blame Li Ke for that wicked man, if it weren't for his collusion with the Goguryeo people, betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, and betrayal of his father, then his father would not have been angry with him, his sins were too deep, and a hundred deaths were not enough to forgive him!" ”

Wang Ping'an whispered: "Inform King Wu of this...... Did you notify Li Ke? "Since Li Ke has been convicted of rebellion, there is no need to use honorific titles, and it is enough to call him by name.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No." Uncle said that if the news is spread to Yingzhou now, I am afraid that those Goguryeo people will take action immediately, so it can be delayed for a while, and when we are ready, we will send a large army over to destroy this country of dung! ”

Wang Ping'an was speechless for a long time, he reminded Li Ke, but Li Ke didn't listen to the advice, and the eldest grandson Wuji had to play the trick of "wanting to catch and indulge", which made such a big deal. But now the eldest grandson Wuji cannot be held accountable for his faults, and all the responsibility can only be put on Li Ke's head, so as to ensure the stability of the situation in the Tang Dynasty and punish the betrayed prince.

Wang Ping'an asked: "The reason why the emperor is so good, what is the situation, and please ask His Royal Highness to talk about it for the minister, and the minister can think of an idea for you." ”

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, looked back at the outer hall, turned his head, and then whispered: "It was my uncle who showed the letter of the governor of Youzhou to my father, and only then did my father vomit blood so angrily that he died before a day passed!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, and his heart was gloomy. In real history, Li Shimin was angry to death by Princess Gaoyang. And he can solve Princess Gaoyang, but he can't solve Li Ke, no matter what he thinks, he can't think of Li Ke, a loser, being able to poke out such a big mistake and make Li Shimin angry to death!

However, thinking about Li Shimin, he is really unlucky, he was either angry with his daughter or angry with his son, it is really called housework!
