In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, at the end of July, the emperor was very ill, and the princes were very anxious to return to Beijing. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

It seems that the heavens are crying with the sorrow, and the torrential rain poured down, watering on the Guanzhong Plain that was hot and dry for a summer, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust, Rao is so, and did not stop the rolling army on the road, after repeated bargaining, Li You, the king of Qi, and Li Chengqian, the king of Juli County, finally gave in, and passed through Tongguan with the army within the limit.

Since then, there are 60,000 foreign troops living under the city of Chang'an, in addition to the king of Wu, the king of Shu, the king of Yue, the king of Han, the king of Zhou, more than a dozen princes have been blocked outside the city, Gaozu Li Yuan has twenty-two sons, Emperor Taizong himself has fifteen, in addition to the early death of the underage, a large group of princes in the fief arrogant, stirring up a mess in Chang'an, annoyed by the eldest grandson Wuji simply drove out the kings.

Of course, there is one exception, Li Jie, the king of Fujian.

In addition to poisoning the Tianzhu national teacher Na Luo Er that night, Li Jie shrank in the Min Wang's Mansion for the rest of the few days, not only him, but also five hundred guards were all nested in the mansion, except for going to the Changsun Mansion every day to ask to see the driver, even if the visitor arrived, it was closed, and even Princess Gaoyang and his wife, who had returned to Chang'an earlier due to Fang Xuanling's illness, had not been contacted.

Chang'an City is rare to settle down for a few days, but secretly there are all kinds of undercurrents surging, the first confrontation is rumors, for their own interests, the rumors of Chang'an City have been flying all over the sky, there are rumors that His Majesty is dead, was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji, this trip to wipe out the kings of the Li family, there are also rumors that the kings led troops into the city for the purpose of forcing the palace to rebel, as for who rebelled, from the boss Li Chengqian to Cao Wangming, who had just learned to walk, none of them were on the list, and all kinds of rumors made people panic.

On this day, just after returning from the next dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji got out of the car and entered the house tiredly, and the old housekeeper Sun Fu immediately greeted him nervously, bent down and bowed his head to send a box, took it suspiciously, his eyes jumped, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately stroked his beard happily: "It seems that they have arrived before rushing." ”

Although the emperor is critically ill, the prince guards the emperor all day long to show benevolence and filial piety, but the court still has to operate, although there is no court meeting, the three provinces and six ministries are presided over by the eldest grandson Wuji himself these days, even if the power * is like him, after returning to the study, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and touched it like a box of exquisite golden silk nan wood boxes on the desk, but it was empty, and the eldest grandson Wuji remembered that the tobacco with the characteristics of Fujian had been smoked out half a month ago, and as for the other tobacco leaves, it was not to his liking at all.

"Forget it, just bear with it for a while anyway." Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, the eldest grandson Wuji paid attention to the box from afar, but before he could open it, he was once again disturbed by an uninvited guest.

"King Min, the master is in the office, you can't break in, King Min, King Min!" Changsun Fu's panicked voice sounded outside, frowning, Changsun Wuji put the box aside casually, this effort, the study was pushed away suddenly, and Li Jie walked in with an unswerving face under the entanglement of Changsun Fu.

"Tsk, Lord Min, after breaking into the East Palace and creating my eldest grandson's mansion, who are you going to poison this time? Old man? ”

seemed to be in a good mood, the eldest grandson Wuji actually made a mocking joke, looking at the old guy sitting in a chubby and wrapped in the purple prime minister's official uniform, Li Jie didn't have the heart to fight with him Haha, he directly smashed his annoyed fist on his table, and roared angrily: "Eldest grandson, Your Majesty is critically ill, and the kings of Zhongshu Province have entered the customs, but the kings are here, but the court has not allowed them to visit the palace since then, what does the eldest grandson Sikong mean?" Could it be that it is really like the legend outside, the eldest grandson Sikong wants to rebel and kill all the kings of the Li family in one go? ”

This was a bit heavy, frowning, and the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled sinisterly and kicked the ball back: "Foreign soldiers are not allowed to enter Chang'an, this is the ancestral system, the iron law left by Emperor Gaozu, but now the King of Qi, the King of Liao, the King of Guli and even more than a dozen other kings are coming in crowds, and the old man is also very tight, what is the best way for the King of Min?" ”

Obviously, he was agitated and stiffened, Li Jie once again hugged his arms and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has been an important minister of the court for more than a month, who knows what kind of calculation the eldest grandson Sikong plays?" My good father-in-law, how do kings believe in you? ”

"King Min, you can eat medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" This is a bit heavy, even the eldest grandson Wuji can't afford it, he also stood up with a gloomy face, and the eldest grandson Wuji stared at Li Jie and said fiercely: "Your Majesty chose the old man as the auxiliary minister in danger, it is because of the loyalty of the eldest grandson's family, and the major families in Guanzhong will not allow any more turmoil in Chang'an, and the old man will take this as a guarantee." ”

After pausing again, Li Jie finally compromised, and slammed his face on the table again: "Then ask my selfless father-in-law to open a pass, since entering Chang'an, Gu has not been allowed to leave the city." ”

Even though Li Jie's tone was full of sarcasm, the eldest grandson Wuji still showed a victorious smile, and touched it in his arms, and a purple gold fish talisman that was exactly the same as that year came into his chubby hand, stretched out his hand and handed it to Li Jie, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and invited: "I'm tired of King Min." ”

"Humph!" Flicked his sleeves disdainfully, Li Jie strode out, looking at Li Jie's figure, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly had a trace of feelings.

"King Min, I don't know if Luo'er is okay?"

was also stunned, turned his head with complicated eyes, and Li Jie arched his hand in a sullen voice: "With the care of Father-in-law Lao, Luo'er is very good." ”

This time Li Jie really went out, but for a while, Sun Wuji lost the mood to look at the box, sat back in the chair melancholy, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Hehe, my father is indeed a little worse." ”

Outside the city, by the Baqiao, the huge military camp is connected, and in the dense tents, the sergeants who come and go patrol are not stopped, and in front of them is the imperial capital Chang'an, but it shows a tension about the battle.

Not only the three kings of Haidong, but also the distant king of Shu, the king of Wu, the king of Changsha, etc., also brought two thousand to three thousand guards, and the profit of 200 percent is enough to make people take risks, not to mention an emperor's throne, Chang'an closed the gate, during this period, the kings themselves were also connected together, divided into several major forces, the largest force is now sitting together, but everyone looks at the three kings of Haidong.

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li You squatted together with big eyes and stared at each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no way to drag it out, my father is critically ill, and I don't know what the situation is now, in case of an accident, the charge of unfilial piety will also crush us to death, what is it, you come up with a charter." Li Tai couldn't sit still at first, and stood up irritably, he had been squatting under the city for more than half a month, and he had the lowest patience.

"What do you say about the fourth child? Raise troops to go in? Tsk, it really deserves to be the emperor's favorite green sparrow. ”

As soon as Li Tai's words fell, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes impatiently. Listening to Li Chengqian's ridicule and ridicule, Li Tai immediately angrily retorted: "Yes, big brother doesn't have to worry, anyway, the eldest brother is already a person who has been the opposite, so he is naturally not afraid of the tongue of the world." ”

"That's also stronger than some people's honey-bellied swords, besides, this king is just following the example of the prince back then and fighting against the villain."

"Tsk, I'm afraid someone is learning from Prince Yin."

Prince Er is the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Ju, in the disaster of witch Gu was framed by Jiang Yun for plotting rebellion and rebellion and was killed after failure, everyone was until the grievances of Prince Er, Emperor Wu of Han regretted it in his later years, the hidden prince was Li Tai and their uncle Li Jiancheng, the quarrels between the princes were all like this all kinds of metaphors and irony, Li Chengqian and Li Tai quarreled happily, and Li You listened to one head and two big.

"Okay, don't argue, this king doesn't have time to listen to you!"

"Then what do you say!" The two sisters-in-law of the eldest grandson queen who were arguing turned around in unison at the same time, but they were really asked, Li You immediately opened his mouth, and only after a moment did he retort unwillingly: "The old nine people are in Chang'an, he has always had the most ideas, you can find him to find a way." ”

"Forget it, that idiot himself has fallen into it, and he can be unscrupulous when he is the son-in-law of the eldest grandson Wuji? After so many years, this king has seen it through, and the old guy doesn't recognize his six relatives at all! Shaking his fat body hidden in the armor, Li Tai hummed disdainfully, and this time, it was rare for Li Chengqian to nod in agreement.

"Indeed, this time the eldest grandson Wuji summoned the kings back to Beijing, it is likely that he wants to disintegrate the power of the kings, and he must think of a perfect strategy!"

"Then you will unite and rebel again, and see if you can capture this Chang'an City?"

The voice of mockery suddenly came from outside the tent, and the three kings of Haidong immediately glared at him in annoyance, but after a while, Li You greeted him happily: "Haha, Lao Jiu, you really have a way to get out." ”

"This king didn't get out, Your Majesty is really going to die, I'm here to find you to enter the city." Stopping at the door, Li Jie said lightly, Li You's smile stiffened, and Li Tai immediately roared angrily: "Li Jie, if your head is broken, it doesn't mean that this king's head is broken, and entering Chang'an at this time is equivalent to throwing yourself into the net!" ”

"Then the fourth, you can raise an army or return to Liaodong, no one will stop you." Yawned, Li Jie said lightly, Li Tai, who was listening, was also stuck, if they could leave, they would have left a long time ago, and they would not be unable to retreat in this position.

"Lao Jiu, then what do you say? I believe you are not reconciled, Fujian is a corner of the country, but this king knows that there is more potential than my Juli, for that position, you really don't want to surrender so easily? ”

The former crown prince Li Chengqian was much calmer than before, listening to his question, Li You's eyes lit up obviously, although Li Tai snorted disdainfully, but he also pasted more people, but he didn't want Li Jie to hum so lightly: "This king didn't think so much, and when he entered the city, he just came to block the water and cover the earth, but the two elder brothers, once you entered Chang'an City, will you really be captured?" Then you guys are embarrassed to get up and compete for that position, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth! ”

After speaking, Li Jie actually turned around and left the tent, so panicked that Li You hurriedly followed, and shouted while running: "Hey, Lao Jiu, wait for me!" ”

Helplessly and blankly glancing at each other, Li Tai and Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and they turned around and followed out of the tent, returning to their camp and arranging it tightly.

In the afternoon, Chang'an Baqiao, for a time it was really a gathering of dragons, Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Su, the king of Shu, had been waiting there for a long time, and the four foreign feudal lords with the largest head all followed Li Jie and boarded the Baqiao, each of them carried dozens of entourages, and most of the rest of the Gaozu kings who had ghosts or stayed out of the excitement also followed.

A large group of princes strolling on the Baqiao, it is really a scene, at this time, if you drop a brick quickly, you can hit three or four princes, all kinds of more complex mentality, the kings rode to the Chang'an Tonghua Gate, which had been closed for many days, and the heavy city gate finally opened with a bang, and an old eunuch led many palace guards to greet where.

"Xiao Ergou, the head of the slave and maid palace, visited the princes, and guided the princes to enter the palace to see the driver, and asked the kings to come with the old slaves."

"Where is the dog minion talking so much nonsense, let's lead the way." Li Hun, the bad-tempered king of Jiang, was the first to shout, and the other kings were also speechless, but the old eunuch didn't care at all, smiled and bowed, and then turned around to lead the way, but the moment he raised his head, he looked at Li Jie, and Gonggong Xiao's eyes swept slightly to the left.

Looking to the left knowingly, among the more than a hundred guards by the door, the delicate figure wearing wide armor was the first to come into view, and the solemn face was full of solemnity, but Wu Meiniang gave Li Jie a reassuring expression, nodded imperceptibly, Li Jie followed in the queue as usual, and went away.

Spanning half of Chang'an, the Taiji Palace Palace, which is the eye of the storm, also opened its doors to the kings .......
