The atmosphere on the streets of Chang'an suddenly became extremely strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ.

Li Shentong sat in the sedan chair, and although he was separated by the thick sedan curtain, he could feel the unusual atmosphere on the street...... It's deserted!

But there was a strong smell of gunpowder.

At dawn, what happened in the Imperial City was unknown, but everyone knew that something had happened in the Imperial City.

In the streets and alleys of Chang'an, martial law continues.

The eastern and western cities remain closed.

The gates of Chang'an were only opened at dawn, and a large-scale change of defense was carried out.

The forbidden army originally stationed in Chang'an City withdrew from Chang'an and was stationed in the Baqiao camp; The soldiers and horses stationed outside the city earlier marched into Chang'an one after another...... The hidden meaning in it, even Li Shentong, can't guess it.

What an eventful end to the year!

Li Shentong sat in the sedan chair and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At the same time, a strange thought vaguely rose in my heart: Maybe from today onwards, Chang'an will change the sky...... got off the sedan chair outside the Suzaku Gate, and met Pei Lin and Dou Kang who came out of the imperial city.

Since Li Yuanding Guanzhong, Dou Kang has been addicted to wine and rarely participates in state affairs. He is an old minister of the Taiyuan Army, and at the same time he is in-law with Li Yuan. Li Yuan's second daughter is married to Dou Kang's eldest son, Dou Dan. In addition, the Dou family now controls the real power, and there is a bit of a big smell. Therefore, after Dou Kang settled in Chang'an, he was like a different person, drunk and dreaming of death.

However, at this time, Dou Kang looked relaxed, with a smile on his face.

As for Pei Lian, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy, anger or sorrow. But from his slightly light steps, Li Shentong still sensed a hint of happiness. You must know that since the rebellion of Yang Wengan in the seventh year of Wude, Pei Lian, as the first auxiliary minister, has been under tremendous pressure. At the beginning, he was ordered to escort Li Jiancheng to Yuhua Mountain, and later killed Qiaogongshan, Er Wenhuan, and Du Fengju, whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, they didn't have much good impression of Pei Lian...... This also made Pei Lin very silent in the past year.

At this time, Pei Lin gave Li Shentong the feeling that the heavy mountains that were pressing on him seemed to be gone!

"Pei Gong! Dou Gong! ”

Li Shentong said hello and wanted to inquire about it.

"Lord Wang, you're here too...... Hehe, let's get inside. The old man is busy with official business, and he really can't spare time to forgive his sins! ”

After that, Pei Lin left in a hurry.

And Dou Kang glanced at Li Shentong with a smile, and said softly: "Lord Wang, it's okay, you can rest assured." ”

All right?

Feel relieved?

The more Li Shentong thought about it, the more strange he felt, and when he was puzzled, he saw a black-clothed attendant hurrying from the direction of Chengtianmen.

"Has Prince Li arrived?

Has Prince Li arrived? ”

As he ran, the black-clothed attendant shouted.

Li Shentong frowned and stepped forward.

"Lord Li, come with our family......"

The black-clothed waiter was not polite, and stepped forward and grabbed Li Shentong's arm.

Li Shentong was stunned, subconsciously shook his hand and shook the hand of the waiter, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Where do you want this king to go? ”

There are four black-clothed attendants and six black-clothed attendants in Da Nei, and most of them are recognized by Li Shentong.

But the waiter in front of him, he felt very angry...... "Lord, this is the palace, where can our family take you?" Hurry up, there's a lot going on today, and it's going to be delayed if it's late! ”

The waiter didn't feel any embarrassment, and turned around and left.

Li Shentong frowned, but finally decided to follow. Anyway, this is the imperial city, and all the way down from the Vermilion Bird Gate to the Chengtian Gate, there are government offices on both sides. In broad daylight, it is impossible to make any trouble, so Li Shentong will not be afraid.

But as he walked, Li Shentong felt that something was wrong!

The imperial city of Chang'an has a total of five miles and one hundred and fifteen steps from east to west, and three miles and one hundred and forty steps from north to south.

Between the Imperial City and the Imperial City, there is a side street. Walk across the street, and you will be Miyagi...... In the entire imperial city, there are seven north-south streets and five east-west streets. Six provinces, nine temples, one four-prison and eighteen guards and the East Palace official office are all arranged in this imperial city.

In addition, there is a temple on the left side of the imperial city and a shrine on the right.

The path led by the black-clothed chamberlain was not to go to Miyagi, but to turn left on Hengjie and go in the direction of Jongmyo.

Li Shentong, as Li Valve Zongzheng, is naturally no stranger to the path of Zongmiao. However, he couldn't understand what this black-clothed attendant meant by taking him to the temple?

When Li Shentong came to the temple, he found that there were already many people standing outside.

And most of these people are from the Li Tang clan...... As soon as Li Shentong arrived, a cadre of the clan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Why are you here?"

"Back to the sixth uncle, as soon as it dawns this day, the palace will send someone to deliver the decree and order me to wait in the temple."

"What about the emperor?"

"Didn't see ......"

At this moment, the black-clothed chamberlain spoke again, "Lord Wang, please enter the Zongmiao." ”

"Huh?"

"Hehe, you'll know when you go in."

After the black-clothed chamberlain finished speaking, he bowed and retreated to the side.

Outside the Jongmyo Temple, a group of sergeants stands. Looking at the outfit, it looks like the Northern Yayuan Cong...... But Li Shentong found that these people were wearing a white silk scarf around their necks, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Let's see what's going on!

Li Shentong motioned for the clan to be quiet and walked up the steps.

At the same time, the closed gate of the temple slowly opened. Li Shentong held his head high and walked into the temple...... The temple is divided into two entrances: inside and outside.

Outside is a hall, and it is also the place where the clans usually meet to discuss things; The inner room is used for sacrificial offerings, and will not be opened except for specific reasons.

This temple is said to be cared for by a special person.

It's just that when Li Shentong came in, he found that the hall of the temple was empty...... Li Shentong saw at a glance that on the floor of the hall, there was a dead body lying on his stomach. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, squatted down after taking a few steps forward, turned the corpse over, and suddenly let out an exclamation of 'ah', and my face immediately turned pale.

Li Xuanba!

This turned out to be Li Xuanba's corpse...... However, at this time, Li Xuanba no longer has the vigor of the past.

There are three shocking blood holes in the chest and abdomen, about the size of a child's arm. The blood had dried up, and the clothes were soaked with blood, and because of the low temperature, they became hard like armor. So much so that when Li Shentong turned Li Xuanba's body over, there was a clicking sound. In addition, Li Xuanba still has more than a dozen arrow wounds on his body, but compared with those three blood holes, the past can basically be ignored. Obviously, these three blood holes are fatal wounds.

Li Shentong is also a battle-hardened general.

At a glance, it can be seen that the three blood holes on Li Xuanba's body are the unique wounds of the bed crossbow.

And this crossbow arrow should have been specially treated, once the arrow is hit, the bleeding will not stop...... The wound is in a three-edged shape, and in the entire Tang Army, there is currently only one that uses a three-edged crossbow, and that is under Li Yanqing. It's not that others are unwilling, but this three-edged crossbow is a weapon invented by Li Yanqing when he was in Lingnan, and its strength is amazing, reaching a range of 1,200 steps. When a triangular arrow enters the body, it will speed up the flow of blood from the wounded...... At the end of the seventh year of Wude, Li Yanqing made this crossbow arrow public. Although the Chang'an army wanted to replace it, due to various reasons, it has not been mass-produced.

"Since King Zheng is back, why should he hide?"

Li Shentong stood up and shouted.

Before the words fell, I saw the door of the inner hall slowly open, and Li Yanqing was dressed in plain clothes and slowly came out of the inside.

Counting up, the last time Li Shentong and Li Yanqing met was in Xingyang...... In the blink of an eye, it is six years of time, Li Yanqing looks a lot more mature, although he is still delicate, but there is not much change between his eyebrows.

If you talk about change, the biggest change is that Li Yanqing has begun to grow a beard!

The short beard under his chin made him feel a little more calm and capable, and his gestures made Li Shentong feel a nameless pressure.

"King Zheng!"

"Sixth uncle, don't come unharmed."

"You ......"

Li Yanqing waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Sixth uncle, listen to me."

In the early hours of this morning, King Zhao killed His Majesty and tried to seize the throne. Sixth Uncle Ran, you are well aware of the righteousness, and arrived in time to kill King Zhao in Xuanwu Gate......"

"What did you say?"

"Sixth uncle, don't worry...... This was seen by many people.

Including Zhongshu Ling Pei Lian Pei Gong, Chen Guogong Dou Kang Dou General, Shangshu Province Zuo Servant Feng Lun Feng Lord, can all be proven. ”

Li Shentong's face was as white as paper.

He looked at Li Yanqing in a daze, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Lu Yin!"

"The old slave is here!"

With Li Yanqing's soft drink, from the shadow at the door of the temple, a black-clothed attendant walked out, who was the person who had guided Li Shentong just now.

He held a book in his hand and stood beside Li Shentong.

Li Yanqing said: "Your Majesty has long been aware of King Zhao's wolf ambitions, but he has no chance to tell the world.

He left this secret edict and handed it over to the sixth uncle, and ordered the sixth uncle to recruit his little nephew to return to Chang'an as soon as possible...... This is written by His Majesty himself. ”

On the fold, the words 'quick return' were written.

The content of the recital is Li Daoxuan's report on Li Yanqing's actions when he was in Xiangzhou.

Looking at the period, it is the day when Li Shimin launched the Suzaku Gate Change...... Li Shentong couldn't help but smile bitterly!

It seems that Li Yanqing has already made a plan, and he has no other choice now.

"Yangzhen, what do you want?"

"Me?"

Li Yanqing smiled, "Sixth uncle, you will recruit your little nephew to return to Beijing to quell the rebellion, and then report the crimes of King Zhao to the world, and support Li Chengdao, the king of Anlu, to ascend the throne." The sixth uncle and the younger nephew will be the regent together, and after His Majesty Chengren, he will return to power...... What does Uncle Sixth think? ”

Li Shentong couldn't help but gasp, stared at Li Yanqing, and was speechless for a long time.

Regent?

This is a huge temptation, even Li Shentong is a little shaken!

Li Yanqing said: "Today's decision is not suitable for another war.

King Anlu is the prince's concubine, and his name is justified in his great treasure. Only in this way can we continue to stabilize the country. Whether the prince belongs or the generals of the Qin king, there will not be too many complaints...... And after that, outside the little nephew and the sixth uncle, I will be able to come from generation to generation.

If the sixth uncle has other ideas, the little nephew is willing to listen.

It's just that the Northern Turks are raging, and the Western Regions are rising, and the big food is about to move. And the Liaodong region, as well as the Silla Baekje, should not be taken lightly. The little nephew is worried that if the Central Plains soldiers rise again, it will inevitably cause greater turmoil, which will be unfavorable to me.

Where to go, the little nephew is only the sixth uncle, the head of the horse is the ......"

Li Shentong looked at Li Yanqing and suddenly smiled!

"Brother Jiu is so blessed!"

The ninth brother he is talking about is Li Yanqing's father, Li Xiaoji.

Li Shentong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao is brutal, killing his father and killing his brother.

The king was ordered to kill the thief, but in the end he was still a step too late...... Now it should be announced to the ancestors, and the imperial decree Li Yanqing, the king of Zheng, immediately led his troops back to Chang'an, and the prime minister of state affairs.

Seven days later, Li Chengdao, King of Anlu, succeeded to the throne, and Li Shentong, King of Jin, and Li Yanqing, King of Zheng, assisted the government, and regent the world! ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the Zongmiao, without looking at Li Yanqing again.

As the gate of the temple slowly opened, Li Shentong walked out of the temple.

Li Yanqing also slowly stood up, and the smile on his face disappeared...... "Lu Yin, pass on my order and order Xue Rengao to be the central protector and the prime minister of the Gyeonggi military affairs."

Dou Fengjie is the left protector, assisting Xue Rengao and Xue Wanche as the right protector, and taking charge of the Baqiao battalion! No one shall mobilize troops or horses without my warrant...... Ordered Yao Yi to march quickly, and be sure to arrive in Xinfeng before dark. Xue Renyue immediately followed me out of the city. ”

Lu Yin immediately responded to the order and bowed to leave.

Li Yanqing turned around and walked into the inner hall, looking at the spiritual seat enshrined on the altar of the ancestral temple, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled, walked to an incense table, opened a box, took out a token from it, and placed it in the center of the altar.

Dad, it won't be long before you're rightfully on the list!

Then, Li Yanqing knelt down in front of the altar and kowtowed three times.

Standing up again, he stepped out of the inner hall, his chest held high, and a big smile appeared on his face...... Since ancient times, this history has been written by the victors!

Thousands of years later, when people talk about this period of history, they don't know what kind of evaluation they will give themselves?

But no matter what, now that this first step has been taken, Li Yanqing has no way out!

Walking out of the side gate of the temple, under the escort of the two people of the majestic sea Kan Ling, Li Yanqing walked into the Zuoye Gate...... This time, it's just the beginning!

And next time, I will rightfully enter through the Chengtian Gate!

I will enter the Taiji Palace!

I believe that I will be able to create a great era that is not inferior to the rule of Sadakan......
