In the middle of the night, the shouts and screams of the left servant shooting Pei Lian's mansion suddenly sounded in the silent sky of Chang'an, the silent imperial capital, and resounded throughout the entire imperial capital.

The original henchmen of Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji were all pale, bloodless, and panicked. They originally thought that the crown prince Li Shimin had pardoned Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche who attacked Xuanwumen, and that the crown prince should be a magnanimous person, but they didn't expect that in just one afternoon, the crown prince seemed to be a completely changed person, and he waved a butcher's knife and killed the prince Jiancheng, Qi Wang Yuanji, and Zuo Servant Pei Lin one after another.

The residence of the crown prince and the prince Wang Jue. In the hall, the crown prince Wang Qi was wearing the official uniform of the prince and the prince from the Tang Dynasty, and sat on a high-backed chair in the middle of the hall, his face sinking like water. Wang Jue's sons sat upright on the chairs on either side of Wang Jue's lower head, with a good attitude.

Wang Jue slowly spoke: "The crown prince and the king of Qi were defeated, and he Li Shimin, the king of Qin, launched a massacre. Neither you nor I will be spared. After a while, Zhang Liang arrives, and you each go back, kill your wives and children first, and then cut yourself. The father will also cut himself in order to follow the prince. The stewards and servants of the household are innocent, and we hope that our death will be exchanged for their safety. ”

Wang Qi's sons got up one after another, saluted Wang Qi, and said, "Follow your father's teachings. ”

After that, sit down slowly, sit upright, close your eyes and recuperate, and wait for Zhang Liang, the killing god, to arrive.

The mansion of the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng. In the hall, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng sat on a high-backed chair and said to his butler and student Bian Sigo, who was standing behind him: "Sigo, you can go." The crown prince and the king of Qi are defeated, Zhang Liang is coming soon, you can go. ”

As if he hadn't heard, Bian Siwen still stood behind Wei Zheng without saying a word.

Wei Zheng looked at Bian Si and sighed: "You kid, I Wei Zheng has other skills, you haven't learned much." As far as my Wei Zheng's stubbornness is concerned, you have learned a lot. Don't you know that if you stay, you will die? You're still young. ”

Bian Si showed stubbornness on his face, still standing behind Wei Zheng, not moving a single step or saying a word.

Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly.

Wei Zheng's wife slowly walked to the hall and walked to Wei Zheng's approach.

Wei Zheng looked at his wife in surprise and asked, "Madam, you didn't leave?" You should go back to your mother's home, Hedong Pei's house. The Pei family in Hedong belongs to the Shandong Hao clan, and the Shandong Hao clan is huge, and they will protect you well. ”

Pei Shi took Wei Zheng's hand and said with a chuckle: "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and when I am in danger, I will fly alone?" Are you left alone and waiting here to die? ”

After that, she looked at Bian Siwen, who was standing motionless behind Wei Zheng, and asked Wei Zheng, "Sigo, you don't want to go, do you?" That's good, if you want to die, let's die together, okay. ”

Wei Zheng stood up angrily, pointed at Pei Shi and Bian Si and said, "Are you all stupid? One, one doesn't listen to persuasion, staying is death, you know? I'm really angry, the prince doesn't listen to persuasion, and you don't listen to persuasion. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could have listened to my plan early and ruthlessly got rid of him Li Shimin, the king of Qin, why would he be like this now? Why is that? ”

Pei Shi pressed the emotional Wei Zheng back into the chair and comforted: "The matter has come to this, just go to death with peace of mind." What's the use of repentance? ”

Wei Zheng looked at Pei's family, and then at Bian Siwen, the student standing behind him, and said with emotion: "That's it, that's it." With a good wife and a good apprentice to accompany each other, go to death together, how fortunate Wei Zheng is, what a blessing! ”

Zhongshu Ling, the mansion of Zheng Renji, the head of the wealthy family in Shandong. Zheng Renji said to the heads of the wealthy families in Shandong: "The crown prince and the king of Qi were defeated, and the incident happened suddenly, and the heads of all the families of the wealthy family in Shandong were trapped in the imperial capital Chang'an, and now he and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, have launched a massacre. If he, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, dares to kill all of us here, my Shandong wealthy family will fully support Luo Yi, the king of Yan, to control the land of Henan and Hebei, and fight with him Li Shimin to the end. ”

The heads of the wealthy families in Shandong echoed one after another: "Yes, if he Li Shimin dares to kill us, my Shandong Hao clan will support Luo Yi to occupy Henan and Hebei, and make his Li Tang country unstable." ”

Princess Xiangyang Mansion, Princess Xiangyang and her ninth sister, the ninth princess Li Qing, sat opposite each other. Princess Xiangyang, the second daughter of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, her mother is Empress Dou of the Tang Dynasty, and she is married to Dou Dan, the nephew of Empress Dou, and is the sister of Prince Jiancheng, King Li Shimin of Qin, and King Yuanji of Qi. Princess Xiangyang's housekeeper reported to Princess Xiangyang and Ninth Princess Li Qingyu: "Zhang Liang has slaughtered the crown prince and the king of Qi, and is now slaughtering Pei Lian's mansion. ”

Princess Xiangyang couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Second brother, what's wrong?" killed the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and now even their families and followers are not spared. How could he do that? ”

The ninth princess, Li Qing, stood up and said goodbye to Princess Xiangyang: "I'm here, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to my sister, so Qing'er will say goodbye to my sister." ”

"Disaster?" Princess Xiangyang was surprised. Soon, Xiangyang understood and said, "You mean Zhang Liang?" How dare he touch you? You have always supported and defended the second brother, and your sweetheart, Li Xuan, is also the first strategist by the second brother's side, and you are in my mansion. Did he Zhang Liang eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts? Dare to come to my mansion and hurt you? ”

Li Qing explained: "Zhang Liang and Li Xuan have a personal vendetta, and it was because of Li Xuan that Li Xiaogong, the king of Huainan, was removed from his post as the county guard of Shangyong. If he had known that I was here, he would have come to the door to avenge his personal revenge. He is a dog released by his second brother, but he is a dog that will bite people indiscriminately. I understand the kindness of the second sister. The family of the prince's brother and the brother of King Qi, he Zhang Liang dared to kill, and the second sister's Xiangyang Princess Mansion, why didn't he dare to kill him? ”

Princess Xiangyang couldn't help but look pale and had nothing to say. She understood that Li Qing's analysis was right, and her Xiangyang Princess Mansion could not stop Zhang Liang, a mad dog.

She asked Li Qing with a concerned face, "What are you going to do after leaving the mansion?" It's much more dangerous out there than it is in this house. ”

Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "Now in the entire imperial capital of Chang'an, there are only two people who can stop Zhang Liang. One is the second brother, and the other is Li Xuan. The second brother is in the palace, and at this time, it may not be easy for me to see him. Li Xuan told me that if there was danger, I would go to Zhongnan Mountain. Whether he's there or not, he'll take care of me. ”

Princess Xiangyang looked at Li Qing, who was blushing, and said, "Okay, since you believe in Li Xuan so much, you can go to your sweetheart." I will order the guards of Princess Xiangyang's Mansion to escort you. ”

Li Qing bowed slightly to Princess Xiangyang, then turned around and left.
