Chapter 332: Li Tai is assassinated
PS: Three watches, come before ten o'clock......
Of course, this is just Li Su's idea, and he has not taken action for the time being, but he is not so heartless, letting the north fight lively, while he lives a leisurely life with his wife and visiting the garden.
"Your Highness, something is wrong!"
After Li Su returned to Yizhou, he had been paying attention to the war situation in the north, and on this day, Su Mo'er came in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" From Su Mo'er's face, Li Su saw a hint of unusualness.
Su Mo'er walked quickly to Li Su and said: "Zhi Zhi Sili led the old troops to rebel, and now he is fighting with Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin's army outside Huaiyuan City, but Jieli is surrounding Huaiyuan City with 200,000 troops, and is attacking the city with all his might, and now, there are only 30,000 defenders in Huaiyuan City, which will not last long." ”
Li Su was a little surprised, but it seems that this qiē is reasonable, since ancient times, the heart of the non-my race must be different, the reason why the stubborn thinking force returned to the Tang Dynasty is not because Jieli was defeated, and now seeing the return of the old master, it is strange that his heart is not shaken, coupled with some rhetoric from Jieli, this stubborn thinking force will inevitably betray the Tang Dynasty, just like An Lushan, in order to paralyze the Tang Dynasty, recognize Yang Guifei as his mother, there is no shame, and the result is not the same betrayal of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, why aren't you in a hurry at all!" After Su Mo'er said this, he only saw a trace of surprise on Li Su's face, but he didn't see a trace of worry.
Li Su smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about the safety of your father, there will be no problems, it's just the lives of these 30,000 soldiers, hey, the war is really cruel." ”
Su Mo'er was stunned, and she said strangely: "How does Your Highness know that the emperor will be fine." ”
"Because the idea of letting my father stay in Huaiyuan, attracting the main Turkic force to come, and then attacking the Turks with ambushes was originally mine, but I didn't expect that the stubbornness would rebel. Now I can only hope that Xue Rengui can arrive soon. Li frowned and said, "Since I dare to let my father take this risk, then I am naturally prepared." ”
"Could it be that His Highness gave that thing to the emperor?" Su Mo'er is so smart, there is only that kind of thing that can make Li Shimin safe and sound and be able to escape.
Nodding, the corners of Li Su's mouth rose, "By the way, does Chang'an know the news now?" ”
"Got it, the shadow guard got the news from the palace and came back!" Su Mo'er said.
"Then maybe we'll have a good show." Li Su's smile was meaningful.
Chang'an, at this time, the Taiji Palace has become a mess, and the eunuchs and palace maids are in a hurry. With anxious faces, many concubines arrived at Yanxi Hall at this time, and they all expected Empress Changsun to come up with an idea.
"Queen Mother, you should say something, how is it now?" Concubine Yin is the six gods and no master at this time, and the status and glory of these concubines all come from Li Shimin, if something happens to Li Shimin, they will be sad in the future.
Empress Changsun is not anxious, but as the master of the harem. She must not mess up at this time, she said: "What are you all panicking about, when the emperor first ascended the throne in the past, you didn't have experience it when Jieli hit Chang'an City." If the emperor goes and Jieli's army enters Chang'an City, I will definitely not survive. I'll keep this bottle of poison here. Empress Changsun picked up a small porcelain bottle, "The day Chang'an City is broken, it will be the time when I take this poison." ”
Concubine Yang stood beside Empress Changsun and said, "I mean the same thing as the Empress Empress. ”。 If Chang'an City is broken, their concubines will be humiliated, and it is better to break it off like this.
When the other concubines heard this, their faces were pale, and one of the concubines said: "Queen Mother, why are you like this, we might as well go to Yizhou for the time being to avoid trouble, since His Royal Highness the King of Shu can defeat Tubo, he may not be able to defeat the Turks." ”
"Hmph, Yizhou is the fief of the King of Shu, Chang'an is the emperor's capital, and now it's not clear, but you want to run to Yizhou for refuge, let me ask you, can you be at ease?" Empress Eldest Sun said sharply.
The reprimanded concubine suddenly lost her voice, and the entire Yanxi Hall fell into a dead silence, and at this time, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Wei has been assassinated!" ”
"What!" Empress Eldest Sun's whole heart lifted up, and she was shocked: "What the hell is going on? ”
"When the King of Wei returned to the Wei Palace, he was suddenly attacked by assassins and was shot in the leg, if it weren't for his guards desperately guarding him, I'm afraid his life would not have been saved." The eunuch said.
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, at least King Wei's life was still there, she secretly said that it was really a blessing and a disaster, and at the same time, her brows were locked, and a bad thought rose in her heart, "Where is the prince?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still handling government affairs in the East Palace." The eunuch said.
Nodding slightly, Empress Changsun said to the many concubines, "You are all scattered, and now I won't stop you, but the ugly words are ahead, when the emperor returns to Chang'an, he finds that you have all escaped, and you have to think clearly about the consequences." ”
When all the concubines heard this, they dispersed, and Concubine Yang also wanted to leave, but at this time, Queen Changsun grabbed her and said, "Sister, you wait a minute." ”
Concubine Yang froze, looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said, "What else is the matter with Niangniang?" ”
Empress Changsun sighed and said: "The emperor is besieged in Huaiyuan, it is almost impossible to break through, if the emperor has an accident, I will go with the emperor, but sister, Datang can't die like this, right now in my opinion, if Chang'an City is broken, only Su'er can retain the royal bloodline, and he will recover the Tang Dynasty one day, so, sister, you will take the young in the palace and the prince and princess to leave Chang'an to go to Yizhou for a while, if the emperor is safe and sound, you will naturally be able to come back, if it is ......", speaking of this, the eldest grandson queen still cried, the strength in front of the concubine just disappeared.
"Queen Mother, it should be you who wants to take the princess and princess away, how can you let me go!" Yang Fei said.
Empress Changsun has her own ideas about doing this, firstly, Concubine Yang is Li Su's biological mother, although she is the mother of a country, but she may not be as good as Concubine Yang, and there is another question that he is most worried about, "What the eunuch said just now, my sister also heard it, I am still in Chang'an, they have already begun to fight for the throne, if I leave, this Chang'an does not know what will become of it, so I have to stay." ”
Concubine Yang was born in the emperor's house, so she naturally understood the meaning of Empress Changsun, the news of Li Shimin's siege had just come, and some people had begun to be restless, and when she heard the news, her intuition was the same as that of Empress Changsun, and she thought that it was the crown prince, because now only King Wei can compete with him for the throne in Chang'an City, and once Huaiyuan City is broken, the ministers will definitely support a new monarch, after all, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day.
In the Wei Palace, Li Tai was lying on the bed, with a cold sweat on his forehead, and the two imperial doctors were treating him with arrow wounds, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I expected that this must be done by the prince, and now the emperor's life is difficult to protect at any time, and there are already ministers secretly planning to let the prince ascend the throne, just waiting for the day when Huaiyuan City is broken, and now only His Royal Highness can compete with him in Chang'an City." ”
"What's the use of saying this, why don't you go and transfer all the dead soldiers into the city, if you continue like this, my life will be gone." Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, if it weren't for his skill in bowing and horses, this arrow would probably pass through his chest.
Zhang Liang sneered and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already prepared, this group of dead soldiers has already entered the city, and they can listen to His Highness's dispatch at any time." ”
Because of the pain, Li Tai gasped, and he said to Chai Lingwu: "You go back to the army now, control the army, and wait for my dispatch at any time, Li Chengqian, you are too ruthless, you forced me." At this time, Li Tai understood that he and Li Chengqian could no longer be good, either you died or I died.
Zhang Liang showed a smile on his face when he heard this, what he was waiting for was this day, if he could put Li Tai on the throne, then he would be the first person under Li Tai, where did he need to go to see the face of the eldest grandson Wuji every day, when he was thinking, a voice sounded outside the door, "The queen mother has arrived!"
