Chapter 106 sighed The funerals of Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin were personally presided over by Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. In the imperial capital of Chang'an, all the important ministers of the imperial court and the heads of various wealthy families participated in the mourning.

After the funeral, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, ordered: "Qin Qiong, the general of the left Xiaowei, and Chi Jingde, the general of the right Xiaowei, withdrew the siege of Feng Li's mansion led by Wang Yuanji, the crown prince Taifu Wang Qi, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the six guards of the prince's east palace. ”

Outside the gate of the Qi Palace, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde received an order from Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Qin Qiong jumped like thunder and cried bitterly: "King Qin is confused, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he actually missed it, Dao Xuan and Shixin died unjustly." The deaths of Daoxuan and Shixin were in exchange for the recognition of the imperial court, and the funeral was glorious? They are also willing to assist King Qin in achieving great things, how can they treat King Qi and these people so easily, and let them go? King Qin has an absolute advantage. ”

Wei Chi Jingde comforted: "Shubao, King Qin has given an order. King Qin must have his considerations when he does this, and we can't disobey King Qin's orders. Order the soldiers to withdraw. We have been around for more than ten days, and not a single grain of grain or water has entered the mansions of Yuan Ji, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, and Feng Li, and the people in the mansion should all be dead. It can be regarded as avenging some revenge for Shixin, and if you kill Yuanji in the future, you can completely avenge Shixin. ”

After listening to Wei Chi Jingde's persuasion, Qin Qiong picked up his weapon, a cooked copper mace, and walked to a stone lion in front of the mansion of King Yuanji of Qi, and smashed the stone lion into powder with a hammer, and shouted at King Qi's mansion: "King Yuanji of Qi, I swear to kill you", and then, Qin Qiong turned his head and ordered with reluctance: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw." ”

Under the command of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, the left and right Xiaowei armies withdrew from the encirclement of Feng Li's mansion led by Wang Yuanji, the crown prince, Wang Qi, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the six guards of the East Palace.

Soon, a military general pushed open the gate of the Qi Wangfu and entered the Qi Wangfu. The palace of the king of Qi was dead silent, which was completely different from the bustling and lively before it was surrounded. The military general walked into the hall of the Qi Palace, and there was a bed on the floor of the hall, and on the cover lay a person, who was unkempt, squinting, pale, chapped lips, and haggard. The military general took a closer look and found that the person turned out to be the chief butler of the mansion of King Yuanji of Qi.

The military general shouted to the butler of the Qi Palace: "The big butler, the big butler, I am the confidant of the King of Qi, Uncle Xie, wake up quickly." ”

The housekeeper of the Qi Palace's mansion opened his eyes weakly, looked at Uncle Xie and said, "General Xie, how can you ...... Here, huh? They ....... ...... you too Did you get it in? ”

Xie Shufang replied: "No, the army outside the gate of the mansion has withdrawn, so I will immediately rush over to take a look." Why is this happening in this house? ”

The housekeeper of the Qi Palace's dry crying: "Qin Qiong...... Vicious, since he ...... After besieging the mansion, there was no more ...... A grain of grain, a drop of water...... Entered the mansion, three days ago, the food and water storage ....... the Qi Palace's mansion were all cut off. ”

As he spoke, the housekeeper of King Qi's Mansion took Uncle Xie's hand and said, "General Xie, tell Your Majesty, tell King Qi that the little master is dead, the little master is dead." ”

Xie Shufang felt as if a thunderbolt was exploding above his head.

The little master is the youngest son of King Yuanji of Qi - Li Chengdu, who is the only one born by Princess Qi, favored by King Qi and Princess Qi, and is also the only heir of King Qi's mansion. The little master is dead, and King Yuanji of Qi will fight hard with Qin Qiong.

Xie Shufang hurriedly asked, "Little master? The little master is dead? How did he die? ”

The housekeeper of the Qi Palace's Mansion said unusually weakly: "When Qin Qiong and the others surrounded the Qi Palace, it happened that the little master was sick, Qin Qiong didn't let a grain or a drop of water enter the Qi Palace, how could he allow the imperial doctor to enter the mansion?" Two days ago, the little master died of illness in the house because no one was treated. ”

Hearing this, Xie Shufang left the Qi Mansion quickly, and while arranging for the servants in his palace to provide drinking water and food for the Qi Palace, the Prince Taifu's Mansion, the Prince Xian Ma Mansion, and the East Palace Liuwei Commander's Mansion, he entered the palace to see the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

In Taiji Palace, Uncle Xie reported to Emperor Li Yuanyu: "During Qin Qiong's siege of the palace led by King Qi, Crown Prince Taifu, Prince Xian Ma, and the Six Guards of the East Palace, not a single grain of grain or drop of water was allowed to enter the mansion, causing many people to die of hunger and thirst in the mansion. King Qi's youngest son, Li Chengdu, also died of a serious illness because he could not be treated. When the siege was withdrawn, Qin Qiong also smashed the stone lion outside the palace of the king of Qi into powder, threatening to kill the king of Qi. ”

Emperor Li Yuan said sadly: "The youngest son of King Qi - Chengdu? My own grandson. Qin Qiong is so vicious, he threatens to kill the King of Qi, he is so daring. Come on, remove Qin Qiong from all his duties, and put him in prison for me. I want him to live, but he can't, and he can't. ”

The right servant shot Feng Deyi and hurriedly admonished: "Your Majesty, by all means, although the King of Qin has withdrawn the siege, the attitude of the Li clan and the nobles of Guanlong is unclear at the moment, if Qin Qiong is severely punished at this time, which angers the King of Qin, and the King of Qin is supported by the Eight Guards Army, the situation will really be difficult to control." ”

Emperor Li Yuan fell into deep thought, his face pained.

Feng Deyi continued to persuade: "Qin Qiong, a martial artist, Your Majesty wants to get rid of it, it's as easy as a snap." Weichen knew that His Majesty was eager to immediately break Qin Qiong's body into ten thousand pieces and raid the family, but this was indeed not a good time. Weichen advised His Majesty to forbear for the time being, and when His Majesty fully controlled the situation in the imperial capital, it would not be too late to get rid of Qin Qiong. ”

Emperor Li Yuan said angrily: "Shimin is no longer my obedient son, his generals are too arrogant and domineering, I have retreated a lot, and they are still aggressive." killed my own grandson, and when I control the situation in the entire Chang'an, I must get rid of these hidden dangers, and I can't let them act recklessly and damage the foundation of my Tang Dynasty. ”

After that, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan ordered: "Remove Qin Qiong from the post of general of Zuo Xiaowei, and let him go to Jincheng as the governor (Jincheng, now Lanzhou, Gansu)." ”

Feng Deyi echoed: "Your Majesty's treatment of Qin Qiong in this way is extremely appropriate, which not only weakens the strength of King Qin, but also makes King Qin have nothing to say. Qin Qiong killed His Majesty's own grandson, did not kill him, only demoted, His Majesty has already made a big concession. ”

Li Yuan said: "Qin Qiong, if there is a chance in the future, I will kill him, let him jump for a few more days." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, evacuated the siege of Feng Li's mansion led by Wang Yuanji, the crown prince Wang Qi, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the prince Donggong Liuwei, and this news soon spread throughout the imperial capital Chang'an. The officials all breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly said in their hearts: "Great, everything has calmed down, King Qin has finally stopped, the Eight Guards Army, this movement is too scary." ”

Zongzheng Temple, Zong Zhengqing Li Xiong sighed: "It's a pity. Since you can't reconcile, it's you who I choose to support, and I believe you're more suitable than him. It's a shame that you have created such a great opportunity for you, and you don't cherish it so much. ”

In the mansions of the heads of the various families of the Guanlong aristocracy, the heads of the families also let out the same sigh.
