Chapter 100 Chang'an has a restless night

After cleaning up the mess in the Furong Garden, the eldest grandson and his wife were about to leave, not wanting to have Pegasus report that the prince had been assassinated.

Hearing this, Princess Changle suddenly lost her complexion, and the eldest grandson Chong also changed color instantly.

"Husband, hurry up and save the imperial brother."

The eldest grandson shouted: "Quick, gather all the trilogy guards, Qu Chi guards, leave some protection for the princess, and the others will follow me to rescue the driver!" ”

"Yes!"

"Lizhen, you stay here, I'll save the prince." The eldest grandson Chong commanded, and led his troops to gallop out of the Hibiscus Garden.

The distance was not very far, and they arrived in time, or Wang Yongan and several others arrived in time to help, stopping or delaying the Assassins' intentions and progress......

Li Chengqian was not worried about his life, but when the guards covered his escape, he fell off his horse, seriously injured his leg, and was lying in the snow wailing!

When Xie Yi rushed back from Qixiamen, he happened to see this scene from a distance.

His request for help was not smooth, although he was famous all over the world, but the soldiers defending the city did not know Master Xie, so he did not dare to leave his post without permission. Fortunately, Zheng Liwan accompanied her, and the guard knew the beautiful Zheng Niangzi, so she didn't dare to slack off and led her troops to come.

"Thank you, Bachelor!"

"Horse, how is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I went to Qixiamen to ask for help, the distance was long, and it was too late. Xie Yi appropriately looked anxious.

The eldest grandson said: "The guards of the East Palace are fully escorting, and a few of your guards are rescued, and they are reported to me in time, and they came in time." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not worried about his life, but his leg was badly injured. ”

"Let me see!" Xie Yi immediately recommended himself.

The eldest grandson nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Master Xie has excellent medical skills, hurry up and give first aid to His Highness!" ”

The guards took the blanket from the carriage, Li Chengqian lay on it, and in the cold winter, there were beads of sweat the size of beans falling on his forehead, which showed that the pain was very great.

"Master Xie, Lone's Legs ......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, Rong Chen will take a look." Xie Yi leaned over to check his eyes, and his face was suddenly very solemn.

"How?" The eldest grandson Chong also looked anxious, anyway, today was the invitation he sent, the prince was assassinated, and he was held responsible......

Xie Yi said in a low voice: "The fracture is very serious, I will fix it slightly to avoid the aggravation of the injury, and send His Highness back to the East Palace quickly, and ask the imperial doctor who is good at bone grafting to treat His Highness." ”

"Good!" The eldest grandson Chong immediately ordered someone to carry Li Chengqian into the carriage and rushed back to the East Palace with strict guards.

At the same time, the news has been reported to the Taiji Palace, and the Duke of Qian Guo, the eldest princess of Pingyang, and the county commander of Wannian have arrived.

Chai Shao's face was gloomy, today he was in charge of the defense of Chang'an City, but he let the assassins infiltrate the city, and he assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince, the blame is inescapable!

The place of the incident is in the southeast of Chang'an City, under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, east of Zhuque Street, and Wannian County will almost cry.

As the saying goes: Three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

The county order at the foot of the Son of Heaven is already difficult, and while managing the territory well, it is necessary to deal with the powerful, to be meticulous, and to be sleek and clever. I finally survived for more than two years, and I saw that I could be promoted after the beginning of spring next year, but something like this happened in the last month.

The prince was assassinated and injured in Wannian County, and his own county order is considered to be the end, and he may have to be imprisoned for the crime, thinking about it, it is really eight lifetimes of blood mold......

"Gong Guo, Wannian County, hurry up and hunt down the assassins!"

Chai Shao said: "The city gate has been blocked, the Zuotun Guards have been dispatched to search for assassins in Leyouyuan, and all the cities have been related in advance, and there are Wuhou patrolling the streets to check suspicious people. As for whether it is necessary to search the whole city, I have asked His Majesty for a decree, and I think there will be a decree in the palace soon. ”

"Okay, there is Lao Chenguogong!" The eldest grandson said: "The nephew will lead someone to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace first, and Master Xie will also accompany him, His Royal Highness is injured, and it is more reassuring to have a doctor with him." ”

Xie Yi didn't want to go, but Changsun Chong's proposal was reasonable, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and say: "Okay, but I bother to send someone to escort Zheng Niangzi back to the house, her carriage was damaged, and if she went with the next one, it would still stay in Qixiamen." ”

The eldest grandson Chong was slightly surprised, and without waiting to speak, the Wannian county magistrate over there said happily: "Okay, the lower official will immediately send someone to escort you." ”

The chariot of the East Palace was started, Li Chengqian still screamed in pain from time to time, Xie Yi raised his head and the lead cloud was low, as if pressing on the top of Chang'an City, the north wind was howling, and the heavy snow was blowing more and more......

In the cold wind, the noisy sound of horses' hooves has been faintly heard, and tonight's Chang'an City is destined not to be peaceful, and it is destined that many people will not be able to sleep peacefully......

……

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin received an urgent report from the eldest grandson Chong Pegasus and was shocked.

In Chang'an City, at the foot of the world, someone actually assassinated his eldest son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"How's the prince doing?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not worried about his life, but his leg bone is fractured, Huaiyang County Bo has carried out preliminary diagnosis and treatment, and is being sent back to the East Palace, and the imperial doctor is already on standby."

Hearing that his son's life was worry-free, Li Shimin was slightly relieved, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever caught the assassin?" ”

"Except for those who were killed on the spot, there is no living mouth, and the Duke of Qian has sent troops to track down in Leyouyuan, and asked whether the whole city will hunt down."

"Find, dig three feet into the ground and find the assassin for me!"

"Yes!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "Order Sun Fujia, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to go to the place of the incident quickly, follow up the clues, interrogate all the people involved, and there must be a result, arrest the assassin." In addition, Ling Wei Chigong strengthened the defense of Chang'an City. ”

"Yes!"

"Summoning Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji to enter the palace immediately."

"Yes!"

"Drive the East Palace, I will go and see the prince!" Li Shimin loves his son very much, and he is really anxious.

……

When Xie Yi and Eldest Sun Chong escorted Li Chengqian to the East Palace, Li Shimin was already waiting here, and a group of imperial doctors were even more waiting.

Seeing Li Chengqian, who was full of pain, being carried in, Li Shimin's face suddenly became cold as frost.

"Father's ......"

"Don't be afraid, let the royal doctor be injured quickly!" Li Shimin comforted him, and with a wave of his hand, Li Chengqian was carried into the dormitory, and the imperial doctor hurriedly followed.

Li Shimin glanced at the dormitory very uneasily, turned around and asked coldly, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"The ministers are not effective in escorting, and it is difficult to escape the blame for all deaths, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." Su Gan Chengji took the lead, and all the East Palace guards fell to their knees in unison!

Li Shimin said coldly: "Desperately escorting and saving the prince's life can be regarded as meritorious; However, the guards were not effective, and the prince was seriously injured, and the blame could not be escaped, so each of them received sixty military sticks to set an example. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" It is not a capital crime, and the guards are pardoned.

"Your Majesty, the sons should not have invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the banquet today, and they did not strengthen their defenses, and they were negligent, and the sons and daughters are guilty." As soon as the guards left, Changsun Chong knelt in front of Li Shimin, and his sudden move embarrassed Xie Yi.

Li Shimin's cold eyes stayed on this son-in-law and nephew for a moment, shook his head and said, "You didn't expect this, what's wrong?" Get up! What about Changle? She's okay! ”

"The princess is in the Hibiscus Garden, she is protected, she is safe, and she will come to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later."

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded and asked in a deep voice, "What happened at that time?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong said in a low voice: "Erchen arrived in Furong Garden after receiving a report from Bachelor Xie's bodyguard, and I have to ask Scholar Xie about the situation ahead." ”

Only then did Li Shimin raise his head and swept his deep gaze over Xie Yi, as if he was thoughtful.

Xie Yi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was invited to a banquet by Princess Changle and the concubine today, and on the way back, because he was talking about poetry and papers with others, he left late, and he didn't want to go to Leyouyuan, and he heard the sound of weapons intersecting, and the guards investigated and learned that His Royal Highness the Prince had been assassinated.

The minister sent all the guards arranged by Lu Guogong on the minister's mansion to escort him, and reported to the horses, and then went to Qixiamen to ask the defenders for help. The defenders did not know the minister, and thanks to the testimony of Zheng Niangzi, when the minister and the defenders arrived, the horse was already ......"

"Erchen still went a step too late, and although he forced the assassin to flee, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still injured......"

"The assassins are going for the prince?"

When Li Shimin asked this, Xie Yi suddenly chuckled in his heart, and when he thought about this issue at this moment, I am afraid it would not be so simple.

Thinking of the two people who chased and killed him, Xie Yi had a bold idea in his heart, could it be that Li Chengqian helped him prevent the disaster?

Fortunately, Changsun Chong said in time: "At this moment, I am well-trained, and I am fully prepared for the attack and evacuation, and it seems that I have a deliberate purpose......

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded, and asked again, "Xie Yi, what clues have you found?" Or any ideas? ”

"Shicai panicked, and didn't find any abnormal ......" Xie Yi muttered: "The minister guesses, could it be the same group of people as the assassination in Shaanzhou?" ”

"I have already sent Sun Fujia to investigate, and I must not let go of these Xiaoxiao this time."

Li Shimin's voice landed, and the imperial doctor over there hurriedly came, and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince's leg bone has been reset, and it will heal in a few days, but it's just ......."

"Just what?"

The imperial doctor only promised: "After the injury is recovered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have symptoms of lameness......"

"Can't you be cured?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured, and the ministers have done their best, fortunately, Master Xie has had a preliminary fixation first, otherwise it may be more serious."

Hearing this, Li Shimin closed his eyes in pain, and sighed after a long time: "Good life to take care of the prince." ”

"Yes!"

Xie Yi was suddenly shocked in his heart, Li Chengqian had a foot disease in history, and he had an inferiority complex because of this, and he made inappropriate moves, could it be caused by this time?

When he was groaning, he heard that Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji were meeting each other, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You ...... Let's go down first! ”
