Calm has returned to Chang'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At least on the surface, there was no confusion. But if you look closely, you will find that the inventory of the various city gates in Chang'an is much stricter than usual. On the road between Fang City, Jin Wuwei patrols were added, and the atmosphere was severe.

Li Xuanba's control of Chang'an is not too bad.

This was due to his prestige in the army, and he controlled the Northern Ya for many years, which made him more or less arranged for soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi region of Chang'an. This point can be seen from the change of Suzaku Gate to the fire in Chang'an, and the delay in the movement of the forbidden army.

The affairs of the heavenly family are handled by the heavenly family.

What the people should do, it will still be the same as usual.

It's just that under this calm, how many murderous and undercurrents are hidden? No one knows...... Pei Lin picked up a chess piece and landed lightly on the chessboard.

And picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, which seemed to be extremely relaxed.

Across from him sat an old man. Judging from his appearance, he is about forty or fifty years old. The body is slightly thin, but it exudes a murderous aura. The long hair under his jaw shook without wind, showing that his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Finally, with a long sigh, he threw the pieces on the board.

"Pei Gong, at this time, what are your plans?"

Pei Lin put down the teacup, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the victory or defeat has not yet been decided, why are you in a hurry to admit defeat?" ”

"You know I'm not talking about this game!"

"But what I'm talking about now is this game of chess......"

The old man is none other than Li Shentong, the king of the river.

He looked at Pei Lin in a daze, and said softly: "Pei Gong, something so big happened, King Zhao even closed the imperial city, why aren't you in a hurry?"

The crown prince died, and so did the king of Qin...... Now that the hearts of the people in Chang'an City are floating, how should the road go in the future? You and I need to plan ahead...... If it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the situation will become more serious. This foundation that has been laid down with great difficulty will not disappear in vain. ”

"So what?"

Pei Lin straightened up and said in a low voice: "You and I, can I interfere?" ”

"This ......"

Li Shentong couldn't help but close his mouth and was silent for a long time.

"Nowadays, the people who play chess are not you and me, and you and I can't be the masters.

You don't have soldiers and horses in your hands, even if you are in a hurry, what is the use? Now the situation is very clear, and His Majesty will definitely come forward to support King Zhao in the end...... In my opinion, this matter will be settled in two or three days at most, and a clear will be seen. ”

Li Shentong's cheeks twitched slightly, still remaining silent.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many courtiers, the change of Suzaku Gate was nothing more than a dispute between princes and princes.

But for Li Shentong, he saw it very clearly...... This is no longer a simple battle between the prince and the prince, but a battle for the emperor.

The participants, not only Li Yuan's seventeen heirs, but the entire Li Valve, have been covered.

Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, has many heirs under his knees.

This is the battle of the Zongfang, and it is a battle within the Li Valve...... And the two sides of the fight, with the addition of Li Xuanba, have become a battle between Li Yuan and Li Xiaoji. One is the current emperor, and the other has long since returned to the underworld. On the surface, there is nothing comparable between the two, but Li Shentong knows that this battle is more dangerous and cruel than the fight of real swords and guns...... If Li Yanqing hadn't been involved in this matter, it wouldn't have been Li Yanqing!

Although this child is young, his mind is more meticulous and deeper than that of many old people...... Over the years, Li Yanqing has been adrift, and it seems that he is in Chang'an City, and he has no foundation. But Li Shentong knew that Li Yanqing knew more about Chang'an than him. And the chess pieces he hid in Chang'an were even more unguardable.

The fire of Taiji Palace, the rebellion of Chang'an...... Faintly in this, Li Yanqing's shadow can be seen.

If you compare the strength, Li Yanqing is undoubtedly at a disadvantage now. After all, this Li Tang Jiangshan was defeated by Li Yuan, and although Li Yanqing is a clan, he is a courtier after all. Even if Li Xuanba killed Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers, he was Li Yuan's biological son after all. Li Yuan's seventeen sons are now only seven, and in addition to Li Xuanba, the eldest is only seven or eight years old. If Li Yuan doesn't hand over this country to Li Xuanba, will it be handed over to those children who haven't grown up yet?

The answer is obvious!

Therefore, Li Yanqing will be defeated...... This is the view of many, including many clansmen.

But Li Shentong has learned Li Yanqing's methods, and he knows better that since Li Yanqing has already made a move, it is impossible to stop easily.

In that year, Li Yanqing turned his hands into clouds and rained in Xingyang County.

Now he definitely won't do just that...... Li Shentong can be sure that Li Yanqing still has a lot of backhands that have not been used, at least for now, the outcome is not clear. Li Xuanba can become the only heir of the Tang Empire overnight...... Then Li Yanqing is not impossible, he will become the final victor!

Li Shentong doesn't know, how should he choose?

"What does the prince think, how is the Dou family?"

"Dou Clan?"

"I mean, which side will the Dou clan be on?"

Li Shentong frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The Dou family and my Li family are from generation to generation Qin and Jin...... Although Empress Taimu has passed away, there are still Xiangyang horses and Fangling horses, and the relationship is not less than back then. Pei Gong, what do you mean by asking? ”

"Then what is the reaction of the Dou family now?"

"Dou Family ......"

Li Shentong closed his mouth.

The Dou family's reaction was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Yes, Dou Dan and Dou Fengjie are both Li Yuan's sons-in-law, but Dou Fengjie and Li Yanqing are small and have a deeper friendship.

The Dou family has a close relationship with Li Yuan, and they also have deep contacts with Li Yanqing.

In addition, there are Hedong Xue represented by Xue Shixiong, and Fanyang Lu represented by Lu Zushang...... These people are all very calm, drinking when they should be drinking, and they are going to work. There was such a big change in Suzaku Gate, and these people didn't seem to know.

Pei Lin said: "Everyone is waiting! ”

"Wait?"

Pei Lin nodded and said, "Wait for the final result." ”

"So what should we do?"

"You don't have to do anything, what you should have done in normal times, and what you still have now.

Anyway, no matter how much Chang'an City changes, it can't change the brand of 'Eighteen Sons'. Although the prince is a Zongzheng, at this time, it is best not to say anything. Anyway, in the end, it won't have much impact on you and me, you and I just have to wait. ”

Pei Lin said this, if Li Shentong doesn't understand anymore, he will be a fool.

"In that case, let's wait for it."

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Someone whispered outside, "Master, master...... Just got the news that Li Yanqing, the king of Zheng, attacked in Luoyang last night, Qu Tutong was captured, and General Dou Cong was attached. After King Zheng obtained the tiger talisman, he immediately ordered Yao Yi, the governor of Xiongzhou, to lead his troops to attack and occupy Tongguan this morning...... After the Tongguan guard Sheng Shiyan led his troops to attach, and after joining forces with Yao Yi to break through Huayin, the troops divided into two routes and attacked Weinan and Feng Yi. ”

So fast!

Pei Lin and Li Shentong got up almost at the same time and looked at each other in shock.

They all knew that Li Yanqing would make a move, but they didn't expect that it would be so fast, ...... "King Zheng, in what name will you raise troops?" ”

"King Zheng said that King Zhao was brutal and killed his brother and imprisoned his father, so he sent troops to King Qin."

Pei Lin heard this, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

It seems that Li Yanqing is not a reckless person and has not set himself up as a king.

King Qin, that's a good excuse. After all, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are indeed dead, and although Li Jiancheng died in the hands of Li Shimin, at this time, who will take it to heart? In short, before Li Yuan stood up, Li Xuanba's charge of killing his brother and father could not be cleared. Now it only depends on when Li Yuan can stand up and how Li Xuanba will respond.

Chang'an's game of chess has reached the top place.

Whether it is Li Yanqing or Li Xuanba, at this time, there will be no more back-ups.

Pei Lin looked at Li Shentong, sighed and said, "Lord Wang, King Zheng has made a move...... It looks like this game won't last long.

At this time, I also have to ask the prince to come forward and try my best to ensure that everything is normal in Chang'an.

I think that regardless of whether it is King Zheng or King Zhao, what is needed is a complete and undestroyed Chang'an, not a ruined capital. ”

Li Shentong pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then got up to leave.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― have to say that Li Xuanba's reaction was very fast.

When he learned that Li Yanqing sent troops in Luoyang Jiaozhao and broke through Tongguan, he immediately ordered Hou Junji to lead his troops to rush to the aid of Feng Yi, and at the same time ordered Xue Rengao, the general of Zuojianmen, to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and rush to Weinan overnight.

Li Xuanba knew very well that even if Li Yanqing broke through Tongguan, he could not have too many soldiers and horses in his hands.

After all, everything happened very hastily. Even if Li Yanqing had made arrangements many years ago, it would be impossible to take Heluo's soldiers and horses into control overnight...... Li Xuanba knew that Sheng Shiyan was Li Shimin's person. killed Li Shimin himself, Sheng Shiyan for self-protection, and also attached himself to Li Yanqing. In fact, the soldiers and horses available in Li Yanqing's hands will not exceed 10,000.

Among them, Luoyang's soldiers and horses, Li Yanqing may not be able to control them quickly.

Therefore, the only people who are really loyal to Li Yanqing may only be the part of the soldiers and horses in Yao Yi's hands.

Occupy Tongguan and capture Huayin...... To put it bluntly, Li Yanqing is just using such a way to stabilize the morale of the army! After Li Yanqing completes the integration of the soldiers and horses in his hands, it will take at least four or five days.

Li Xuanba's order to Hou Junji was to defend Feng Yi.

The order given to Xue Rengao was to send Yao Yi's department back to Tongguan.

In a few days, Lingwu's 100,000 troops will arrive in Chang'an...... At that time, even if Li Yanqing integrates the soldiers and horses, he will not be Li Xuanba's opponent.

Because Li Xuanba knew very well that it would be impossible for his father to hand over this country to Li Yanqing.

As long as Li Yuan can stand up and speak, then Li Yanqing is a chaotic minister and thief, and Li Xuanba can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses to exterminate him!

The key is, when will Li Yuan stand up?

Time is not much of a problem for Li Xuanba.

But for Li Yanqing, it has become extremely urgent......
