Li Shimin, the king of Qin, fell into thought. After a long time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, looked at all his henchmen and said, "Find out why the royal family of the Li clan and the nobles of Guanlong in Longyou responded to me?" The left and right guards, the left and right leading guards are on guard, and wait and see what happens. ”

Everyone had the heart to persuade Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to plan for great things as soon as possible, but this order of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also made some sense. The left and right Weiwei armies controlled by the Li clan of Longyou, and the left and right Wuwei armies controlled by the Guanlong nobles, although they responded to the order of the Qin king's Tiance generals, their motives have not been clarified. Now the King of Qin can directly control only the Four Guards Army, and His Majesty directly controls the Four Guards Army, so the Four Guards Army in the hands of the Longyou Li clan and the Guanlong nobles is too important, no matter who they fall towards, the other side is doomed to defeat. They are the biggest variable in this game, and their motives really need to be investigated and understood.

After everyone made a promise to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, they turned around and left.

And Li Xuan stayed, and he said to Li Shimin, the king of Qin: "Your Highness, can't you pass that hurdle?" The Longyou Li clan and the Guanlong nobles have already supported His Royal Highness with actions, they are all important ministers of the imperial court, big political forces, they must all know what the consequences will be after responding to His Highness's Tiance General's order, but they all resolutely chose to support His Highness. As long as His Royal Highness orders the army to attack the army controlled by His Majesty, they will support and respond, His Royal Highness ascends the throne and captures the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, everything is logical, but why did His Highness choose to retreat? Does His Royal Highness really want to give up this Tang Dynasty to the crown prince and the king of Qi? Will they govern Datang well? ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said with tears in his eyes: "They are the brothers of my father and a fellow mother." I can't kill them. ”

Li Xuan sighed and left the Qin Palace. He secretly said in his heart: "King Qin still cares about the relationship between father and son, what a good opportunity, it's a pity that he was given up like this." What a pity. Maybe one day, when King Qin's desire for the throne is far greater than his scruples about the affection between father and son, maybe he will go through hardships and no longer have any scruples and become a real dragon.

The officials of the imperial capital of Chang'an suddenly found that the soldiers stationed in the imperial capital of Chang'an were all dressed in white clothes, and they were very surprised, and they all gathered in the Qianyuan Palace. I hope His Majesty the Tang Emperor can explain it to them.

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a crown of nine dragons on his head, walked to the dragon chair with a sad face, and sat down slowly.

The ministers shouted three times long live, and after saluting, they stood in their positions.

Li Yuan asked: "Hebei, the king of Henan, the eastern capital stayed behind Li Daoxuan, the Duke of Tanguo, the governor of Jiangzhou, Luo Shixin, died in battle, the king of Qin issued a general order of Tiance, ordering all the troops stationed in Chang'an, all dressed in white, mourning the two generals Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”

The ministers who supported the crown prince were suddenly in turmoil.

The head of the Wang family of the wealthy clan in Shandong said: "Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is trying to rebel, how can he order the army without authorization?" The ministers asked His Majesty to severely punish Li Shimin, the king of Qin. ”

Emperor Li Yuan felt very surprised, and wanted to look at the head of the Wang family of the wealthy clan in Shandong like an idiot. He secretly said in his heart: "Now that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is the strongest in the imperial capital Chang'an, it is a great luck that he does not come to attack the palace." You let me take the initiative to provoke him, isn't this looking for death? This, is this your political sensitivity? ”

Lu Hai, a disciple of the Lu clan in the imperial history, echoed: "What the head of the Wang family said is extremely true. Today, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, actually ordered Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde to surround the mansion of Qi Wang Yuanji, the crown prince Taifu Wang Qi, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the prince Donggong Liuwei led the mansion of Feng Li, and ordered the army to surround the palace of the imperial court ministers without authorization. The ministers asked His Majesty to severely punish Li Shimin, the king of Qin. ”

Emperor Li Yuan suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "Good, good, good, punish King Qin severely?" Okay, you, Lu Hai go, go immediately, and let Qin Qiong, the general of the left Xiaowei, and Wei Chi Jingde, the general of the right Xiaowei, withdraw the siege of the mansions of Wang Yuanji and other ministers of the imperial court. ”

Lu Hai immediately replied happily: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Li Yuan hurriedly interrupted: "There is no need to obey the order. You are not going to proclaim the decree, but to deliver the message, and you go. ”

Lu Hai left the Qianyuan Hall happily.

The crown prince Zheng Jibo, the right servant shot Feng Deyi, the Zhongshu Ling Zheng Renji, and the imperial historian Xiao Yu looked overjoyed, and Lu Hai, who left the Qianyuan Hall with high spirits, said secretly in his heart: "Fool, the emperor is asking you to die." ”

Outside the mansion of King Yuanji of Qi, Lu Hai ordered Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde to be extremely arrogant: "The army of Xiaowei on the left and right immediately withdrew the mansion of Wang Yuanji and other ministers of the imperial court. ”

This order greatly surprised Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde's expectations.

At this time, the king of Qin is powerful and the emperor is weak, the emperor should take the initiative to be soft and cautious, how can such an arrogant person take the initiative to find trouble? This is not in line with His Majesty the Emperor's style of doing things.

Qin Qiong looked at Lu Hai with his eyes in the sky and asked cautiously, "Is this His Majesty's will of the Emperor?" ”

Lu Hai didn't look at Qin Qiong and said, "This is not a decree, but a message." I will give you a warning first, and then it will be a severe punishment by holy decree. ”

Qin Qiong suddenly realized: "I see, I see." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, and with one sword, he saw Lu Hai in two sections.

Wei Chi Jingde asked in surprise: "Shubao, what are you doing here?" Killing the envoy of the Son of Heaven is a great crime to kill the head. ”

Qin Qiong said: "Kill the head? Does Your Majesty dare to kill me now? If he kills me, King Qin will inevitably be enraged, and King Qin's strength is far above His Majesty. Now that Your Majesty is avoiding the collision with King Qin, he is still afraid that it will be too late, how can he kill me and provoke King Qin. What's more, Lu Hai is an envoy, he is just a messenger. He did not proclaim a decree, but a messenger. His Majesty asked him to come over, and he sent him to death. Holy decree, I may be jealous of Your Majesty, after all, he is the father of His Royal Highness King Qin. But Lu Hai is just a messenger, so what do I have to fear, and what does it matter if I kill him? ”
