The four-rank civil official hurriedly stepped forward and called out repeatedly: "Fang Xiang, Lord Fang, what's wrong with you?" Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said weakly: "Quick, help me to the Lizheng Palace, I have something important to meet the queen." ”

After that, Fang Xuanling was almost carried by someone before he walked to the Lizheng Palace. Outside the door of the Lizheng Palace, Fang Xuanling settled down and came to the door of the main hall with heavy steps.

As soon as the palace people in the Lizheng Hall saw that it was Fang Xuanling, they did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately went to report to Empress Changsun.

In a few moments, the heavy wooden door of the Lizheng Hall creaked open. Fang Xuanling raised his feet and stepped in, and a cold wind blew from the deep palace, picking up Fang Xuanling's slightly messy hair.

Empress Eldest Sun was sitting upright on the Huanghuali high-backed chair in the middle of the main hall, Fang Xuanling's slightly flustered and exhausted expression made her think of something at once, and she slowly stood up.

Fang Xuanling walked a few steps tremblingly, fell to his knees suddenly, and reported to the eldest grandson Empress in a painful tone: "Queen Mother, Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, has just sent an urgent report that Mayi City has been broken by the Turkic army led by Tuli and Qibi Heli. ”

In the sky, suddenly remembered a burst of thunder, Empress Eldest Sun was completely stunned, although she had been prepared for the worst, but when the news of the destruction of Mayi City came today, she found that she couldn't accept this extremely cruel fact at all. Her body crumbled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Tang Xuanling let out a long sigh and comforted the eldest grandson: "Queen Mother, don't be too sad. The emperor is a good man, and the old minister believes that he will be fine. ”

Empress Eldest Sun did not speak, but stood dumbfounded.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but raise her voice again and shouted, "Queen Mother? The old minister thinks that His Majesty will be fine. ”

Empress Changsun knew that at this time, she suddenly woke up, and she almost fell down. The palace maids standing behind Empress Changsun hurriedly supported her. Empress Eldest Sun stabilized her mind, and asked Fang Xuanling without a master: "Fang Xiang, what do you think I should do in the Tang Dynasty now?" ”

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the old minister thinks that the news of the destruction of Mayi City should be blocked now, and other ministers should not be known; On the one hand, it is necessary to order Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to give up the attack on the Dingxiang Khan of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and make every effort to find out the whereabouts of His Majesty, so as to welcome the smooth return of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, "Then let's do what Fang Xiang said." Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain, and my Datang can't mess up no matter what, I just hope that my Datang Emperor His Majesty will be auspicious. It's good to be able to come back safely. ”

"Obey the order!" Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted.

On the second day, although Fang Xuanling closed the news, many ministers of the imperial court ordered Fang Xuanling to let Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, give up the attack on the Turkic Dingxiang Khan's tent and patrol the border of the Tang Dynasty and the state, and guessed that there may be a major change in the city of Mayi, and it is very likely that the city of Mayi was broken by the Turks, and the general of the auxiliary state Li Jing again attacked the Khan of the Turkic Jieli Khan in Dingxiang There is no longer any meaning, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is most likely to be missing. Therefore, Fang Xuanling and Fang Xiang ordered Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to lead the army to patrol and annex the state border.

Prince East Palace. Inside the study. Prince Chengqian sat on a high-backed chair facing north and south, facing north, and sat opposite Hou Junji across the bookcase.

Hou Junji whispered to Prince Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Fang Xiang suddenly ordered Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to lead the left and right Xiaowei armies to give up the Dingxiang Khan tent attacking the Turks, and instead patrol the border of the state. The minister speculated that there must have been a major change in Mayi, and it is likely that Mayi City has fallen, and the life and death of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are unknown, so the prime minister will make this arrangement. ”

Hear the news of the fall of Mayi. Prince Chengqian burst into tears at that time.

Hou Junji comforted the prince with grief on his face and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the supervisor of the Tang Dynasty and the only legitimate successor of the Tang Dynasty. Now. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is gone, and you are the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty. The minister thinks that His Highness should eradicate those who can threaten your superiority at this time. Inheriting the unification as soon as possible, ascending to the throne as soon as possible is the most important thing, and cutting through the mess quickly is what should be done now, otherwise, it will change later. ”

The crown prince Chengqian asked without a master: "Then what should the Duke of Lu Guo say?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Now Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, only has two guards, left and right, many of them are the minister's old department, and the minister is willing to lead the old department for His Highness to eradicate those who block His Highness's smooth ascension to the throne, and assist His Highness to ascend to the throne as soon as possible." ”

Prince Chengqian said in horror: "Lu Guogong wants to kill someone? Who are you going to kill? ”

Hou Junji replied with a cruel face: "Of course, the people who prevent His Highness from ascending the throne." The King of Wei, the King of Shu, the Hao clan of Shandong, the Southern Shi clan, and of course some other courtiers who are not open to the eyes of His Highness from ascending to the throne, in short, those who prevent His Highness from ascending the throne will have to be blocked and killed, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha. ”

The crown prince Chengqian asked again: "Duke Luguo, what if we go on a killing spree, I have just ascended the throne and my father has returned?" ”

Hou Junji said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what should I do? Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords for the people. When the time comes, will you be willing to hand over the throne you have worked so hard to win to your father? Naturally, it will be ......."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came out, "What is nature?" ”

The door of Prince Chengqian's study was suddenly pushed open, and it was the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty Empress who came in.

Seeing Empress Changsun, Prince Chengqian hurriedly stood up, bowed to Empress Changsun and said, "Sons and daughters meet the queen mother!" ”

Seeing the crown prince saluting, Hou Junji reluctantly stood up, bowed to the eldest grandson and said, "The minister greets the queen!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Hou Junji coldly and reprimanded loudly: "Hou Junji, what is nature? Naturally, it is to get rid of my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, right? Hou Junji is such a big dog guts, don't you dare to kill the king? On weekdays, you are around His Majesty the Tang Emperor, showing loyalty to show loyalty, and now His Majesty the Tang Emperor is not in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, for a few days, you dare to say such a rebellious remark? The hypocrisy seems to be loyal, the treachery seems to be sincere, and it is a person like you. If it weren't for today's events, who would have thought that you Hou Junji would be such a shameless villain? (To be continued......)
