Chapter 332: The Secret Passage
In the silent night, after a few lightning bolts, he suddenly woke up, followed by a heavy snowfall, and the entire Chang'an City soon became covered in snow.
Tonight's Chang'an City seems to be particularly loved by heavy snow, since Chinese New Year's Eve has only been two months, there have been two heavy snowfalls, the scene of snow drifting, really happy the children of Chang'an City.
In this silent snowy night, Li Yuanba didn't know how long this sleep had passed, because he didn't seem to sleep for long during this night, except for going to Wushan with his wife all night, he kept dreaming.
He dreamed that he seemed to have returned to Xue Yantuo's hinterland, fighting with Xue Yantuo's army again, and suddenly, the battlefield suddenly changed, and every qiē seemed to have returned to the beginning, blood, white bones, and minced meat...... Roaring, howling, hideous countenance......
All the qiē gradually kneaded together, and then turned into a roar that shook the heavens and the earth after the victory, thousands of Tang soldiers dressed in Sensen armor, marching neatly.
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
Li Yuanba couldn't help but be immersed in it, and subconsciously yelled in his mouth.
"Husband...... Husband......"
A call sounded in his ears, Li Yuanba opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a slender figure sitting beside him, and the voice naturally came from the mouth of this slender figure.
"Shun'er, what time is it now?" Li Yuanba looked at Wu Shun and laughed silently.
"Husband, it's already noon!" Wu Shun picked up a porcelain pot on the side, poured some hot water into the cup, and smiled briskly on his ruddy face:
"His Majesty sent Gonggong Liu to take a look in the early morning, and he told the concubine that His Majesty had sent a decree ordering the Shenwuwei army to return to the Xuanwumen Shenwuwei station...... The Emperor Taishang also sent someone to come, and he asked the concubine to tell the husband that he must go to the Cuihua Hall after the husband wakes up. ”
Wu Shun fed the water in the teacup into Li Yuanba's mouth. The voice continued softly: "By the way, Princess Gaoyang has also come, and she has come to cry to her husband!" ”
"Hahaha, this girl is probably going crazy by the royal brother! Yesterday, I deliberately pretended not to care, and today I am still in a hurry to get into the room? ”
Li Yuanba laughed, as if he had seen Princess Gaoyang's anxious appearance.
"Hehe......" Wu Shun also covered his mouth and chuckled.
……
"Ruixue Trillion Year!"
Li Yuanba wore a mink coat, walked in the snow road that was half a foot deep, and said to Wang Huaiyuan, who was closely following him.
Wang Huaiyuan is an old eunuch who looks to be over seventy years old, he has been serving the Emperor Li Yuan for many years, and he can be described as the number one dog leg under Li Yuan.
Besides. This Wang Huaiyuan also has another layer of identity, that is, the deputy commander of the Shenhuang Guard, some small things, if Li Yuan is not there, Wang Huaiyuan can deal with it.
"The fourth prince is right!"
Wang Huaiyuan's two long eyebrows twitched slightly, and his slightly pale cheeks seemed to have not smiled for many years.
The old people in Taiyuan Wangfu are used to calling Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanba their sons, as for Li Shimin, because he became the emperor. So that's another story.
"It's boring, it's boring, can't you say something else?" Regarding Wang Huaiyuan's words, Li Yuanba was a little speechless.
"What does the fourth prince want to tell the slave to say?"
Wang Huaiyuan forced a smile on his face, it was even more ugly than crying.
"Yes. This king doesn't tell you to say anything, so you should hurry up and take this king to see your father! ”
Li Yuanba also has nothing to say to Wang Huaiyuan, and staying with such a guy who is almost like a dead man, if you have something to say, you can become speechless.
I went on for a while. When Wang Huaiyuan led Li Yuanba to appear in Cuihua Palace, Li Yuan was already waiting there in a plain robe.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
For Li Yuan, Li Yuanba always has a sense of respect. Therefore, the number of courtesies that must be there every time we meet, there will be no less.
"De'er, hurry up and excuse yourself!"
Li Yuan helped Li Yuanba up, looked at him with a smile on his face, and said, "De'er, do you know where your father is going to take you today?" ”
Seeing Li Yuan's outfit, Li Yuanba knew what he was going to do, it seemed that he was going to leave the palace, but was it possible? Li Shimin has been under house arrest for so many years, but he can't get out if he wants to.
"Father, are you still going out of the palace?" Li Yuanba's voice was full of doubts.
Li Yuan bowed slightly; "Not bad."
"But ......" Li Yuanba hesitated: "Father, this is not the will of the imperial brother, how can you get out of the palace gate?" ”
"I have my own way!" Li Yuan said confidently.
"Father, shall we leave now?"
Li Yuanba naturally would not tell Li Shimin, because in his opinion, there was nothing in the entire palace and even Chang'an City that was a secret to Li Shimin.
If Li Yuan can get out of the palace gate, it will naturally be Li Shimin's acquiescence.
"Let's go, when we get there, I still have a lot to explain to you!"
Li Yuan bowed slightly, and led Li Yuanba to walk towards the inner hall of Cuihua Hall first.
Li Yuanba followed closely behind Li Yuan, not knowing how he would get out of the palace.
Walking to the depths of the inner hall of the Cuihua Palace, Li Yuan stopped in front of a huge bookshelf.
Li Yuanba has seen this bookshelf, and there are bamboo slips on every Duobao lattice on it, these bamboo slips are copied ancient books, and the original version has already been put away by Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty xià ......" Wang Huaiyuan asked Li Yuan for instructions.
Li Yuan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
The actions of the master and servant completely stunned Li Yuanba, why did he nod?
In the next scene, Li Yuanba was shocked!
saw Wang Huaiyuan walk to the bookshelf, and then in a specific order, he picked up a few bamboo slips and changed their positions, and finally slammed them on a certain position on the side of the bookshelf.
"Lalala......"
There was a crashing sound, and the huge bookshelf parted from the middle, revealing a wall nine feet long and nine feet high, with a handsome phoenix carved on it.
"This ...... When was this built? ”
Li Yuanba's eyes were about to pop out, is there any mistake, this kind of mechanism is not a small project, what a clever craftsman must be used?
Li Yuan was not surprised by Li Yuanba's question, he said a little lonely:
"Back then, before your eldest brother and third brother were shot dead in Xuanwu Gate, I had already begun to order people to secretly rebuild this place. When I abdicated, it was almost finished! ”
"Brother Huang doesn't know?" Li Yuanba said curiously.
Li Yuan nodded and shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Maybe you know, you may not know, but with the character of the second child, even if he knows, he will hold it in his heart and not say it!" ”
Li Yuanba bowed his head silently, Li Yuan still knew his son very well.
Just as Li Yuan and his son were talking, Wang Huaiyuan had already come to the wall full of carved phoenix patterns, and pressed down on the phoenix's eyes.
"Qiang Qiang ......"
With another crash, the phoenix wall parted from it, revealing a passage to the underground, through which the lights could be seen.
It was evident that the passage was well designed, and there was even an oxygen hole leading to the outside, otherwise the lights would not have been ignited at all.
"Let's go, go early and come back early!"
While speaking, Li Yuan led Li Yuanba into this seemingly long, never-ending passage.
……
In the palace, there is still a mysterious palace, a mysterious study.
Li Shimin held a few thin pieces of paper in his hand, on which were recorded several copies of the recitals that Li Jing hurriedly sent back.
"Master!"
Just when Li Shimin was looking at it, a dull and hoarse voice sounded.
"What?" Li Shimin asked without raising his head.
"His Royal Highness King Wu was called by Wang Huaiyuan to go to Cuihua Palace, and His Majesty the Emperor Taishang took His Royal Highness King Wu into the secret passage, and now he is out of the palace!"
Tang Zhong, who was dressed in black, respectfully saluted Li Yuanba.
Tang Zhong, who has been controlling this dark force for Li Shimin since the beginning of the construction of the Shadow Guard, is well aware of any disturbances that occur in this palace and even in the entire Chang'an City.
"Are you out of the palace again?" Li Shimin put down a few pages of tissue paper in his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, do you need to keep an eye on them?" Tang Zhongdao.
Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and said, "No need, it's nothing more than handing over the Divine Phoenix Guard to Yuanba." For so many years, Shenhuangwei has been wandering inside and outside my Datang, although I am somewhat unaccustomed to their form and style, but they have done a lot of things for my Datang after all, rather than letting him hand over Shenhuangwei to people I am not worried about, it is better to hand it over to Yuanba! ”
"So...... Do we want our people to withdraw from the Divine Phoenix Guard? Tang Zhong continued to ask.
"Let's wait!" Li Shimin said: "This Divine Phoenix Guard is not as good as the Shadow Guard and the Heavenly Machine Guard, you are all loyal to me and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, I will divide you and belong to the management of Yuanba, and you can also do your best!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically and continued:
"As for this Divine Phoenix Guard, they are only loyal to my father, if my father directly hands them over to Yuanba, Yuanba will need to spend some effort to completely control it. Therefore, our people can't withdraw yet, if there is a rebellion in the Divine Phoenix Guard......"
"Kill?" Tang Zhong's words were full of cold-bloodedness.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with blood, and he said coldly: "No matter what credit they have made for my Datang, if they dare to hurt Yuanba and dare to do something that harms the interests of my Datang, I will destroy his nine clans!" ”
"Tang Zhong!" Li Shimin continued.
"Slave here!" Tang Zhong said respectfully.
Li Shimin's voice was cold: "Chuan I've ordered the people of the Heavenly Guards and the Shadow Guards to closely monitor the four guards of the Divine Phoenix Guard, such as the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, if they dare to rebel, they will be killed together with their relatives!" ”
Tang Zhong's eyes flashed, and he said, "No! (To be continued......)
