Chapter 11 One Night in Chang'an One

readx;

Maybe Li Yanqing has long forgotten, or he deliberately ignored it!

His rebirth has brought many variables to this era, so that many things have changed with it...... There is no need to dwell on other things. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as far as the matter of Pingyang Princess Li Yunxiu is concerned, due to Liu Heimin's attachment to Li Yanqing, the Hebei Rebellion that broke out in the early years of Wude disappeared. Liu Heimin did not rebel, Li Yunxiu did not garrison Shanxi, and Niangziguan was impossible to talk about. But it is precisely because Liu Heimin did not rebel that Li Yunxiu lived two years longer than in history.

In history, Li Yunxiu died in February of the sixth year of Wude.

And in this time and space, she still died, but in October of the eighth year of Wude.

Two years is enough time to generate many variables!

Li Mi did not belong to Li Tang, causing the conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to break out early; And Li Yunxiu also played a negative role in this conflict. At least, the Chai family, which was loyal to Li Shimin in history, has now remained neutral!

Although Li Shimin has the support of the Taiyuan Wen family and the Taiyuan Wang family, the halo on his head is much bleaker than the original history.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these variables that with Li Yanqing's high-profile arrival in Xiangzhou, Li Shimin's sense of crisis has become more and more serious......———————————————————————— for Li Yuan, Li Yunxiu is undoubtedly his favorite daughter.

The reason why the word 'most' is used is that among Li Yuan's many children, only Li Yunxiu is the most like her mother, Queen Dou. It's a pity that Queen Dou died early, which made Li Yuan's heart ache. Over the years, the situation in the Central Plains has been calm, and Li Yuan has left Li Yunxiu in Chang'an, and the degree of his favor can be seen.

Li Yuan had nineteen daughters, nine of whom were married.

The eldest daughter, Princess Changsha, married Young Master Feng and stayed in Shanxi; The second daughter, Princess Xiangyang, married Dou Dan, went to Lanzhou with Dou Dan to take up her post, and was not in Chang'an; The fourth daughter, Princess Gaomi, married the eldest grandson Xiaozheng, a member of the eldest grandson clan, and now lives in Luoyang...... The rest of the daughters, except for the seventh daughter Yongjia, stayed in Chang'an because of Dou Fengjie's relationship, and most of them stayed away.

It stands to reason that Chai Shao is stationed in the Hexi Corridor, and Li Yunxiu should also go with him.

However, Li Yuan did not agree and insisted on keeping Li Yunxiu in Chang'an, which also caused a serious problem between Chai Shao and Li Yunxiu.

However, Li Yunxiu is the emperor's daughter, even if Chai Shao is dissatisfied, what can he do?

Li Yunxiu's death from illness was undoubtedly a huge blow to Li Yuan...... He ordered Li Yunxiu's funeral during the march, and posthumously gave Li Yunxiu the nickname Zhao, that is, Princess Zhao of Pingyang, and was buried on the side of the tomb. And Xianling, that is, the imperial tomb prepared by Li Yuan for himself.

At the end of November of the eighth year of Wude, Li Yuan fell ill.

It was precisely because of her physical discomfort that Li Yuan did not participate in the funeral ceremony of Princess Pingyang, but handed it over to the crown prince Li Jiancheng to preside.

On the one hand, Li Yuan is really unable to participate.

On the other hand, he also hopes to use such a way to consolidate Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince and completely dispel Li Shimin's thoughts. Li Shimin was indeed excellent, but Li Yuan insisted that a generous emperor was more suitable for the current situation.

Therefore, Li Shimin could only back down...... However, Li Yuan also thought about it, and after the funeral, he sent Li Shimin to Bashu.

The country of Bashu Tianfu, and it did not suffer much in the turmoil at the turn of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, enough to protect itself. Similarly, after occupying Bashu, it is not easy for Li Shimin to kill again...... What Li Yuan needs is this result, to save Li Shimin's surname, and at the same time, to make Li Shimin unable to threaten Li Jiancheng's position.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin can also form a moderation against Tubo in Bashu and become the southwest barrier of the Tang Empire...... Li Jiancheng has no objection to this arrangement.

It's just that this edict was not issued, and Li Yuan hoped to find a suitable reason to send Li Shimin to Bashu at the right time, instead of letting others think that Li Shimin was sent to Bashu...... Exile is easy for ordinary people, but if you want to exile a prince, it becomes a little complicated. At least judging from Li Yanqing's trip to Lingnan back then, Li Yuan can't help but regret it now.

"Lao Tian!"

"Slaves and maids are ......"

From behind the curtain, a black-clad attendant stepped out.

At that time, Li Yuan's confidant, General Anda, died of illness when he was six years old.

Tian Feng immediately became the head of the palace, in charge of the affairs of the inner court, and outsiders often called: General Tian.

Li Yuan opened his cloudy old eyes and asked softly, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it has just been decided."

It is also known as the time of the day, that is, between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Yunxiu's funeral should almost be over."

"According to the regulations, Princess Zhao should be buried in the corner, probably before the end of the day. When the time comes, it should be completed...... If nothing goes wrong, the prince and they are already on their way back, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Chang'an in the future. ”

Li Yuan nodded and lay down again.

However, he immediately sat up and said softly, "When the prince returns, let him come to me immediately." ”

Tian Feng bowed down and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Li Yuan lay down tired again, although he closed his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy.

It shouldn't be a bad deal!

Although Li Yuan did not attend the funeral, everything was done according to his wishes...... What else could be missing?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan opened his eyes and sat up again.

Pick up a notebook from your pillow and open it gently. Since he is not in good health, some important official documents are placed beside him.

The recital was sent from Xiangzhou, and it was said that it was four days ago.

Li Daoxuan: Li Yanqing, the king of Zheng, stayed in Xiangzhou for six days, and did not have too many unusual actions. Except for meeting a few local literati, he did not have any contact with anyone...... Four days ago, Li Yanqing left Xiangzhou with Qin's men!

According to the calculation of the distance, Li Yanqing should have arrived in Luoyang at this time.

If nothing else, Li Yanqing will stay in Luoyang for a few days. After all, Luoyang is Li Yanqing's foundation, and since he has arrived in Luoyang, he will inevitably have some contact with the local gentry and wealthy families. Calculating the time, he has not returned to Luoyang for four or five years, where there is still his palace and his subordinates...... It's just that Li Yuan can't tell what the reason is, and there is a faint feeling of unease.

He thought for a while, picked up the red pen and drew a circle on the fold, and then wrote the word 'quick return'.

"Someone!"

In the main hall, there are attendants waiting by the side.

Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Send it to Xitai immediately, and tell Feng Lun to send someone to Luoyang immediately, and Zhao Zheng Wang will return to Beijing."

Li Yanqing can't be allowed to stay in Luoyang!

Li Yuan couldn't say what the reason was.

He intuitively thought that Li Yanqing's stay in Luoyang for one more day seemed to be a little more dangerous. It was already a huge mistake to exile him to Lingnan in the first place. Now, Li Yanqing should be stared at Chang'an, and he must no longer let it go.

Speaking from the heart, Li Yuan still loves Li Yanqing very much.

Being lovable doesn't mean he's indulgent...... After all, Li Yanqing is not his flesh and blood. A person who is capable, talented, and can break out of the world no matter where he goes, the greatest care for him is to let him live under his nose for the rest of his life.

Li Yuan didn't think about killing Li Yanqing, on the contrary, he hoped that Li Yanqing could become the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty.

However, it can only be a 'minister', and it is a 'courtier' who can control it in his hands!

After dealing with this matter, Li Yuan was in a trance again. The death of his daughter hit him really hard. It's just that after reading a letter, I feel inexplicably tired.

So, Li Yuan lay down again and closed his eyes!

———————————————————————— night was thick, and Chang'an City was shrouded in darkness.

On the streets between the markets, there will be a crisp sound of horses' hooves and neat footsteps from time to time...... Since the early years of Wude, the night ban has never been lifted. In the early years, although there was a night ban, for various reasons, the eastern and western cities did not strictly enforce it. However, after Princess Pingyang Zhao died of illness, the night ban was strengthened. Before the end of the day, the east and west cities closed their doors and ceased to operate. And the rest of the people's squares are even more closed, and even those powerful people don't dare to break the ban easily at this time.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji walked side by side, talking and laughing along the way, very relaxed.

The funeral of Princess Pingyang Zhao can be regarded as a very success...... From all signs after the funeral, Li Jiancheng's position as crown prince has become more stable. When many courtiers communicated with Li Jiancheng, their attitudes also changed dramatically.

The ministers who seemed to waver in the past seem to have favored Li Jiancheng.

"Brother Huang, I heard from the people in the palace that my father has decided to celebrate the spring ceremony in the coming year, and you will also preside over it...... Hehe, in this way, the second brother is afraid that he will have to die again! ”

Li Yuanji smiled and whispered congratulations to Li Jiancheng.

And although Li Jiancheng was overjoyed in his heart, he still had to show a serious attitude on his face, "Sanhu Xiu has to listen to that nonsense, my father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can I preside over such a thing as the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?" If these words reach the ears of my father, I am afraid that they will cause unnecessary trouble...... You're going to have someone check tomorrow to see who's chewing their tongues in private. ”

Li Yuanji is also in his twenties!

Not to mention the things when he was a child, since the Taiyuan incident, he has followed Li Jiancheng, and ten years of time are enough for him to know Li Jiancheng's thoughts.

He knew very well that Li Jiancheng was happy in his heart.

By saying these words, it is just a gesture.

Brothers should show posture, and brothers should naturally cooperate.

So Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "My brother didn't think it through, and I hope that the emperor's brother will forgive him...... Rest assured, brother, I will investigate this matter thoroughly tomorrow. ”

Seeing Li Jiancheng's satisfied nod, Li Yuanji immediately asked, "Brother Huang, King Zheng is coming back, what arrangements do you have?" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Xuanzhen wrote that Yangzhen has expressed his willingness to belong to me.

It's just that his reputation is too loud, and he has a lot of strength in his hands...... Xuan Zhen thought that King Zheng could be reused, but not too much. I'm going to let him enter Shangshu Province, starting with the military department. You also know that although Qu Tutong obeys my dispatch on the surface, he is actually closer to Erlang. Whenever I arrange things for him, he always pushes back...... Although Li Yi can replace him, his qualifications and reputation are slightly insufficient. Only Yangzhen, although he is young, is enough to suppress Qu Tutong.

When the time comes, Yang Zhen will take over the military department, and the generals in the army will not have any objections...... As long as I don't let Yangzhen take charge of the soldiers, after a few years, I will slowly fully accept the power in his hands, and it is not impossible to give him another Zhongshu order. ”

Between words, it seems that the future has been decided.

Li Jiancheng also knows that he can't use Li Yanqing, but he can't use it too much.

Li Yuanji was also very happy in his heart, originally he was still a little worried, after Li Yanqing returned to Chang'an, his brother would be close to Li Yanqing and alienate himself. Now it seems that Li Jiancheng still trusts him more...... After all, he and Li Jiancheng are brothers.

The two brothers talked as they walked.

Before you know it, the Suzaku Gate is about to arrive...... Li Jiancheng waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to knock on the door, but after shouting outside the Suzaku Gate for a long time, the palace was silent, as if no one was on duty.

Li Yuanji frowned, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

"Brother Huang, I'll go over and see what's going on."

After that, he urged him to step forward, and came to the Suzaku Gate, shouting loudly: "I am the king of Qi, return to the palace with the prince, and open the door quickly." ”

On Miyagi, there was still no response.

Just when Li Yuanji couldn't help but go crazy, the two heavy palace doors slowly opened with a creak...... The door opened, but it didn't mean that Li Yuanji would let the matter go. The dignified King of Qi ...... and the current prince, who was actually blocked from the palace gate, and it was a shame to spread it. The guards of this Suzaku Gate cannot be forgiven, and the sergeants of this Suzaku Gate should all be killed...... Thinking of this, Li Yuanji urged the horse and rushed over.

"Damn ......"

He cursed as he walked towards the palace gate. At this moment, the lights on the Suzaku Gate Palace City suddenly brightened, Li Yuanji was stunned, and just about to look up, he heard a loud roar from behind the palace gate: "Yuanji Xiaoer, take your life!" ”

A fast horse rushed out from behind the Suzaku Gate, and on the back of the horse sat a general, with a cold and shining horse lance in his palm.

Li Yuanji was startled, and his head was confused...... It happened so suddenly, so strangely, that he didn't even have time to react before the general arrived. The horse's lance stabbed out at once, and a sharp wind struck. Li Yuanji's eyes widened, and his mind went blank!

He was scared stupid!

This is Chang'an!

This is Suzaku Gate...... Someone is trying to kill me?

Rebellion does not succeed...... only heard a snort, and the horse lance fiercely sank into Li Yuanji's chest. And Li Yuanji didn't even make a dodge move, just watched the horse lance stab himself. At the same time, he also saw clearly that the general on the horse was the general of Tiance Mansion, Cheng Zhijie.

Second brother, do you want to rebel?

This was also the last thought that came to Li Yuanji's mind, Cheng Yanjin had a hideous smile on his face, and with a strong hand, he twisted the horse lance and threw Li Yuanji's body out of the horse.

"Li Jiancheng, you are jealous and jealous, and you kill your siblings, what kind of face do you have to occupy the position of the crown prince?"

With Cheng Biting Jin shouting, two teams of people suddenly came out on both sides of the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Li Shimin was dressed in gold armor, with a long sword in his palm, like a fierce god, and he bowed towards Li Jiancheng.

On the other side, a hammer general slaughtered the prince's guard of honor like a tiger into a flock of sheep. The twin hammers flew over, only killing the Donggong guards without the power to fight back.

Li Jiancheng saw it very clearly on the horse, and the hammer general was the fierce general under the command of the third brother Li Xuanba, Liang Shitai...... It happened so quickly, and so suddenly, that there wasn't even the slightest movement. Li Jiancheng considered various possibilities, including Li Shimin's design to frame himself. But he only didn't expect that Li Shimin would use such a decisive way to deal with him.

When Li Shimin led his troops to kill, Li Jiancheng had only one thought in his mind: Erlang, crazy?
