In the middle of the night, the earth was asleep, and the breeze blew softly, and there was no sound except for the occasional bark or two of dogs. The deserted streets are silent. Black enveloped all the houses, the moonlight was hazy, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the wind was soft, blowing the shining faces of the stars. The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the fragrance of the night, permeating the air, formed a soft net, covering all the scenery inside. None of the plants or trees seem so real in the daytime, they all have vague and ethereal colors, each of which hides its subtleties and keeps its secrets, giving people a dreamlike feeling. Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the residence of Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army.

There was a narrow secret door on the southeast side of the mansion, but there was a knock on it. The secret door is connected to a mechanism, and at the end of the mechanism, there is a string of bells, and the location of the bells is actually the bedroom of Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army.

Hearing the ringing of the bell, Zhai Changsun suddenly woke up, Huo Ran sat up, dressed and came to the secret door.

The knock on the door was a middle-aged man with a burly figure, blazing eyes, and high temples.

After the middle-aged man saw Zhai Changsun, he took out a token and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Huang, please take the commander out of the city!" ”

Seeing the token and hearing what the middle-aged man said, Zhai Changsun suddenly showed joy on his face. He knew that the middle-aged man was talking about the Huang shopkeeper, who was His Majesty the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Shopkeeper Huang asked himself to go out of the city, doesn't that mean that His Majesty the Tang Emperor has returned safely, and is now outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?

Fifteen miles outside Chang'an City, in an inn, Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, who arrived with the middle-aged man, saw Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, dressed as a wealthy merchant.

Zhai Changsun hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and said, "Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, greets Your Majesty. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin helped Zhai Changsun up, and asked eagerly: "Commander Zhai, what is the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" Is it still stable? ”

Zhai Changsun looked embarrassed.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin's face suddenly turned gloomy. After the safe evacuation from Mayi, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin deliberately did not contact the Tang court. He wanted to test the loyalty of his courtiers.

And Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, advised the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the most unbearable thing in this world is the human heart. If His Majesty really wants to test the loyalty of his courtiers, I am afraid that His Majesty will be disappointed. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin didn't think so at the time, he still believed in his courtiers very much. Unexpectedly, today, as expected, from the embarrassed expression on Zhai Changsun's face, Tang Emperor Li Shimin deduced that Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, may not be stable, and some people, some courtiers who had shown great loyalty to themselves in front of them before, had jumped out impatiently. It's already starting to make trouble.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty said to Zhai Changsun with a serious face: "Commander Zhai, say it, tell everything you know!" I want to see, who can't bear it anymore and jump out? ”

Zhai Changsun could only bite the bullet and tell Li Shimin everything that happened in the past few days after the Tang Emperor Li Shimin left Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Great Hall, no matter how big or small.

When Li Shimin heard that Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei who he trusted the most, actually ordered Zuo Qianniuwei's army to conduct military drills in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and arranged heavy troops at the gate of the mansions of his sons Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Ke, the king of Shu. Tang Emperor Li Shimin couldn't help but regret and said: "I don't know my heart if I know people!" How could I entrust the important task of guarding the palace, the left and right Qianniuwei armies, to Hou Junji, a bold man, at that time? Didn't he add fuel to the fire in that situation? When I was in Chang'an. He has repeatedly shown his loyalty, a loyal minister, and he dared to threaten my two sons just a few days after I left Chang'an. also used the Zuo Qianniuwei army that I personally handed over to him, and used the state's public weapons to do his Hou Junji's personal trivialities, he Hou Junji is really a big dog. ”

When Li Shimin heard that the eldest grandson, Empress Xuanling, in order to invite Xuanling out of the house, helped the crown prince Chengqian. When he married his daughter Princess Gaoyang to Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Xuanling's second son, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "This woman with a gentle personality and obedient to herself, at this time, she has shown her vision and means." According to the situation at that time, only Fang Xuanling could control the situation in the entire Tang Dynasty, and his own queen, a princess, who was married, not only invited Fang Xuanling out, but also pulled Fang Xuanling under the command of Prince Chengqian at once, and sincerely worked for Prince Chengqian. What a woman. ”

When Li Shimin heard that Concubine Yang married the two princesses of Baling and Qinghe for the sake of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and pulled Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and Cheng Yanjin, the general of Zuo Jinwuwei, to the side of Li Ke, the king of Shu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, even more wry, he couldn't understand how his two most beloved women could choose the princess to marry at the same time? And the two of them are usually inconspicuous, one has a gentle personality and is obedient; A Buddha who is single-minded and does not ask about miscellaneous matters. But in the dozens of days since they left Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, they seemed to have changed as if they had all changed into people, and they all burst out with powerful energy. Tang Emperor Li Shimin only smiled bitterly, these two, one is for his son Prince Chengqian, and also for the Tang Dynasty Sheji; One is for his son Li Ke, the king of Shu. The two of them did the right thing, but the energy that the two of them burst out this time surprised the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin could only sigh secretly: "The people around me don't seem to have fuel-efficient lamps!" The women in the harem can achieve such a high position, and they are not lucky, they also need extraordinary strategies and means, and they are also soaked in power and scheming. ”

When the Tang Emperor Li Shimin heard that Hou Junji had secretly summoned the old troops in the left and right Qianniuwei army, Li Shimin couldn't help but be furious. Li Shimin knew in his heart that now in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there are only two guards on the left and right, and once they are manipulated by Hou Junji, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire Tang Sheji may be subverted at any time.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, to secretly return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and pay close attention to the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued......)
