Xingqing Palace's calyx Xianghui Building, this was originally Li Longji's favorite place. I think that the five brothers lived here in groups and spent the most difficult time in their lives, so after he ascended the throne, he had the intention of transforming this place into a palace. King Ning and other brothers knew his thoughts, so they gave up the mansion one by one, and then he moved out of all the households in Xingqing Fang, and carved out nearly half of the land from the adjacent two Li Fang, after more than ten years of construction at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there was finally Nannei Xingqing Palace.

Although this place is not as beautiful as the Xuan Chang of Daming Palace, he doesn't like the palace city that is engraved with too many grandmother Empress Wu's imprints, and he has almost settled in this Xingqing Palace since the late Kaiyuan Dynasty.

His brothers and sisters left him one by one, and even his children and grandchildren, many of whom died before him, and he became indifferent after seeing too many of these lives and deaths. But An Lushan, who he had always trusted very much, suddenly raised the blow of the rebel flag, but he who had always been determined to stand side by side with Emperor Taizong Li Shimin only felt that he had been stabbed in the back. What he didn't expect was that Yang Guozhong or other courtiers initially swore that the soldiers and horses under An Lushan's command must only be coerced into rebellion and would soon be dispersed, but the result was that all the twenty-four counties of Hebei fell except for Pingyuan County, and Henan followed in his footsteps.

And then Ge Shuhan was defeated and fled back to Tongguan, and Luoyang was obviously difficult to protect. And with only a little bit of soldiers and horses guarding Yutong Pass, won't Chang'an be the next to fall?

"陛xià."

Hearing this voice, Li Longji, who was standing upstairs in the gale, didn't look back, and asked astringently after a while: "It's done?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's done."

Even though Yuan Siyi is extremely arrogant with civil and military officials on weekdays, his popularity is very bad, and he ignores the kings and princesses, his eyes are on the top of his head, but he can come out to do such a thing as giving the prince to death, he really can't have any arrogant feelings. If he could suppress Gao Lishi in the past, he would definitely be triumphant, but now when the rebels are in high spirits, what is the use of him being the first person among the inner servants? Thinking that King Jianning and King Guangping fell unconscious after eating a meal adulterated with medicine, and were hanged in their sleep, while Li Heng committed suicide by laughing miserably, he still felt a little breathless until now.

Li Longji also did not have the slightest sense of pleasure after removing the threat, he clenched his fists tightly, and told himself over and over again, since An Lushan is under the banner of supporting the prince, maybe he will use this as an excuse to fight Tongguan, if Li Heng is kept, there will only be a puppet emperor who will be supported by the rebel generals on another day, as for the two imperial grandsons of King Guangping and King Jianning, they dare to connect ministers when the situation is unclear, and they will definitely not do anything good on another day! But even so, deep down in his heart, he knew that the one qiē was just that he had never believed in his children and grandchildren!

The Son of Heaven didn't open his mouth, but Yuan Siyi didn't dare to leave like this. After a long while, he heard Li Longji in front of him say lightly: "You go to see King Rong and let him prepare." Since Ge Shuhan, the deputy marshal, was defeated, and since he was quite popular, everyone hoped that he would succeed. At this time, the prince is violent, if he doesn't come forward to clean up people's hearts, when will he stay? ”

Since Li Longji insisted that the prince was a tyrant and not committed suicide, Yuan Siyi could naturally understand the mystery. Li Heng died, Li Cong, who was older than him among the princes, died of illness last year, and the abolished prince Ying and Li Yao, the king of Hubei, died in Lingnan, and Li Yan, the king of Di, died of a crime, so Li Wan, the king of Rong, was already the eldest among the princes. Moreover, this King Rong has a handsome character and elegant demeanor, and he has already been expected to lead the marshal before, if it is logical to be the crown prince this time, it is simply too lucky!

But when Yuan Siyi, who thought so in his heart, rushed to the mansion of King Rong in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, he didn't see the virtuous king in the eyes of the officials and gentry for the first time. King Rong Li Wan has many wives and concubines, and like other kings, he is under house arrest in the sixteen kings' mansions, in addition to reading and writing, poetry and songs, he drinks and has children with his wives and concubines, and there are more than half a hundred sons and daughters under his knees! At this moment, those who came forward to greet Yuan Siyi were the two sons of the king of the county, Li Qian, the king of Jiyin, and Li Kai, the king of Beiping.

When he greeted people inside, Li Chuan, who was the eldest son, said cautiously: "Grandpa suddenly felt a cold two days ago, and he has not been well yet. ”

Yuan Siyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, secretly thinking that he would not get sick sooner or later, but he was sick at this time. Thinking so, he came by holy order, and of course said that he wanted to meet Li Wan in person. Although Li Zhuo and Li Kai are the emperor's grandsons, they don't dare to offend such a royal celebrity, so they can only lead them in helplessly. When Yuan Siyi saw Li Wan's half-dead appearance, he immediately understood that this King Rong was by no means pretending to be sick, but was really sick!

But now, what the Son of Heaven wants him to convey is the most important thing. As soon as he sat on the edge of Li Wan's bed, Yuan Siyi bluntly told the prince Li Heng about his violence. However, the next moment, he saw Rong Wang Li Wan's eyes widen all of a sudden, staring at him in disbelief, as if he had completely understood the mystery of this. Under this strange gaze, Yuan Siyi was a little angry, and immediately lowered his face and said: "The king, please cherish your body, you must know that the prince is gone, and the king is what everyone wants, don't let His Majesty and the civil and military officials, the military and the people of the world disappointed!" ”

If you listen to it right, you will be encouraged, but if you listen to it the other way around...... At least Li Zhuo and Li Kai glanced at each other, and they all felt that it was clearly a warning, or even a threat! Both of them are empty grandsons who have no ability, and they don't even have the only advantage of their father's love of reading and handsomeness, let alone any supreme throne. Therefore, when they endured the panic and insisted that Yuan Siyi had conveyed all the words of the Son of Heaven to the left and right, when they sent people out, they thought that Li Heng, who was the prince, would die if he said that he would die, and even his legs and stomach cramped.

Therefore, as soon as the two of them turned around, they hurriedly rushed to the sickbed of Rongwang Li Wan, and knelt down directly with weak knees. Li Kai asked even more mournfully: "Grandpa, what should be done now?" ”

Rong Wang Li Wan looked at the two eldest sons and couldn't help but tremble with anger. Now these princes are multiplying one by one, and there are a lot of sons and daughters under them, including the crown prince Li Heng, among the many emperors and grandsons, who can be crowned the king of the county, either they are older, or their mothers are from noble backgrounds. However, the crown prince Li Heng was left in the palace before and was under house arrest, but the two sons of King Guangping and King Jianning were still willing to take the risk and run out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion to run for him.

Seeing that the souls of the two people were not possessed, thinking of his so-called position as a marshal, and thinking of Li Heng, who died an unknown death, Li Wan did not think that Li Longji would rest assured that he would give power to himself. What's more, his illness this time was menacing, and he suddenly felt unprepared, and at this moment, he couldn't help but rely on those conspiracies for this serious illness. So, in the face of his two panicked sons, he finally spit out a sentence softly.

"Don't worry."

In these four short words, Li Zhuo and Li Kai didn't understand what it meant, and of course it was impossible to put their minds at ease. However, by the early hours of the next morning, they immediately understood. Because their father, the sixth son of the Son of Heaven, Rongwang Li Wan, suddenly died of such an illness last night! Unbelievable, when the two people knelt down on their knees in front of the sickbed, and then fell to the ground and cried bitterly, they involuntarily secretly exchanged a look with each other, and quickly moved away as soon as their eyes met.

When the official in the prison of King Rong's mansion angrily reported Li Wan's death to Yuan Siyi, the inner eunuch only felt as if his head had exploded. He didn't know if Li Wan was really sick or because of what he said yesterday was misunderstood. He only knew that it was irretrievable now, and he could never hide it from the Son of Heaven. At this time, he thought about Gao Lishi's existence very much, because if Gao Lishi was still there, someone would be able to top it, but at this time, no one could help him, so he could only report to the Son of Heaven.

But to his surprise, after Li Longji learned such news, he was not furious, and some were just three simple words.

Got it.

And when the news of the crown prince Li Heng and the king of Rong, Li Wan, both broke out, the officials and people in Chang'an City were all stunned. Li Longji has been uneasy about the prince for a long time, and An Lushan's ulterior motives shouted to support the prince, which suddenly made Li Heng's situation more difficult, so everyone has high hopes for Li Wan, who has the name of the marshal. Everyone didn't expect this prince to be both civil and military, but hoped that the royal family could launch a person to call on the subjects of the world, but such a meager hope came to naught. What's even more outrageous is that soon there was news that the crown prince Li Heng was also violent at such a time!

It is said that the two sons of the crown prince, the brothers of King Jianning of Guangping, also died!

Even Yang Guozhong, who had already privately planned to take refuge in Shuzhong, was unexpectedly surprised after learning such news. Li Heng and Li Wan's brothers can't fight with him, it doesn't matter when they die, but why is Li Longji dizzy and wants to let them die at such a time? Doesn't that add fuel to the fire?

Thinking so in his heart, Yang Guozhong never dared to persuade the Son of Heaven like this, after all, the lessons of Gaolishi are still there. Therefore, after receiving the battle report from Li Chengguang in Tongguan, saying that Ge Shuhan was recruiting warriors to assist in the defense of Tongguan, and maybe it could be delayed for a day or two, he immediately decided to go to Xingqing Palace to ask for the Son of Heaven, knocked his head on the ground, and straightforwardly took out his own construction.

"Now that Chang'an is in danger, I implore Your Majesty to take refuge in Shuzhong first! The people of Shu are simple, grateful for His Majesty's kindness, as long as His Majesty raises his arms and exhales, there are thousands of people who are willing to follow His Majesty to rebel! Before leaving, he ordered someone to urgently send an order for 600 miles to Shuo Fang Jiedu to make Guo Ziyi go south to Guanzhong and fight to the death with the rebels! ”
