On March 12, the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, although the sky was very cloudy, it was rare that there was no rain, Li Zhen got up early in the morning, hurriedly freshened up, opened a posture in the backyard, practiced fists and feet, and relieved the tense muscles and bones for many days. ”

Well? Message? Make no mistake, it's not too late at this hour, which sect's purpose is preached? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and was full of doubts - as a prince, Li Zhen has received orders many times, but he has never received the old man's will at such a time, and then thinking of the recent court situation, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious, but the problem is that the holy decree has arrived, but Li Zhen can't be allowed not to greet it, right?

"Open the middle door, the king will go immediately, and in addition, send someone to invite the two gentlemen to the study immediately" Li Zhen frowned and thought about it, but still couldn't think of the old man's intention for this edict, hurriedly explained, inserted the bright silver gun he had just carried in his hand back into the weapon rack, and waited by the maids to change his clothes and freshen up, and then rushed to the gate. "Father-in-law Hu is early." Although Li Zhen and Hu Youde have never been on the opposite path, they are still passable on a big face, just out of the gate, as soon as they saw Hu Youde standing at the door with four or five little eunuchs, he immediately smiled and said hello, but he never thought that Hu Youde didn't hear it, but just said with a straight face: "The emperor has a decree to announce His Royal Highness." ”

Shit, damn gelding! Li Zhen's hot face was pasted with a cold **, and his heart was suddenly crooked, but he couldn't do it again, so he had no choice but to straighten his clothes, kneel on the ground, and wait for the edict of the old man Hu Youde Xuanming.

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Li Zhen, the king of Yue, will immediately enter the palace to see him, and there must be no mistake, so I admire this!" Hu Youde didn't even look at Li Zhen, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and announced it loudly.

Instant Audience? Damn, what is this going on, old man? Isn't it planning to attack Lao Tzu? Li Zhen chuckled in her heart, and a bad premonition came to her heart, and she forgot to kowtow and thank you for a while, just kneeling there with a frown.

"Ahem, ahem, His Royal Highness King Yue, please take the order." Seeing that Li Zhen didn't move, Hu Youde coughed a few times with a cold face and reminded him.

"Erchen is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Zhen came back to her senses, kowtowed, thanked her, stretched out her hand to take the holy decree in Hu Youde's hand, smiled, and asked tentatively: "Father-in-law Hu, what is this ...... father?"

"The old slave doesn't know, Your Majesty has an order, His Royal Highness will enter the palace immediately after receiving the order, Your Highness please stop." Hu Youde said a word without leaking, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Damn, there must be a problem! Seeing that Hu Youde didn't say a word, blindly urging himself to enter the palace, Li Zhen's suspicion in his heart became a little more intense, he didn't want to enter the palace like this without knowing anything, and said with a smile: "Since his father has a call, Xiao Wang will go on a trip, but Xiao Wang has just practiced martial arts before, and he has not yet bathed and changed his clothes, and he is afraid that it is not good to go to see his father with the stinky sweat of this body, and he also asks his father-in-law to be accommodating for a while, and Xiao Wang will come after a little freshening, so it can be done?" ”

Li Zhen said very politely, and the reasons were very sufficient, but he never thought that Hu Youde would not eat Li Zhen's set at all, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, the old slave acted on the orders of the emperor, and please don't embarrass the old slave, if Your Highness wants to freshen up, after arriving in the palace, Your Majesty will have your own arrangements, Your Highness will ask for it." ”

Bitter smile, in addition to a bitter smile, Li Zhen really didn't have any law with this old eunuch who didn't eat soft and hard, and in desperation, he could only order the guards to prepare the horses, and after a long toss, he led the guards together, followed by Hu Youde and others and walked towards the palace in the morning mist.

The palace is still the palace, Li Zhen grew up in this Taiji Palace since he was small, although he moved out after the opening of the mansion, but he also has to go back to the palace every once in a while, he is very familiar, he can walk through with his eyes closed, the palace at this time is not much different from weekdays, and the number of palace guards has not changed much, but Li Zhen is still keenly aware of the taste - the number of palace guards has not changed, but the momentum is different, which sturdy men are warriors of a hundred battles at a glance, At all, it is not comparable to the previous Yulin officers and soldiers who are like waste, and the evil aura on his body is so great that even Li Zhen, who has experienced the sea of corpses and blood, can't help frowning.

Damn, where did the strong soldiers come from? Damn, which play is the old man singing? Hongmen Banquet? Li Zhen observed around as he walked, but suddenly found that this group of officers and soldiers in the uniform of the Yulin Army were all fresh faces, and his heart couldn't help but sink for a while, but it was a pity that he had arrived at the ground at this time, and he couldn't help Li Zhen if he wanted to leave, so he had no choice but to follow Hu Youde silently and rush to the Ganlu Palace.

The huge manna hall was quiet, except for Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair and waving a quick book, there was no one else, even the waiting eunuchs did not see a single one, Li Zhen entered the hall, and did not dare to take a closer look, so he hurriedly strode forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The son knocks on his father." ”

"Hmm." The old man didn't raise his head, he just buried his head in the book, and he didn't shout, so he let Li Zhen kneel there, which made Li Zhen's heart feel uneasy to the extreme, but he didn't dare to ask, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Most likely, Li Shimin finally put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and swept towards Li Zhen with a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife, his face was cold, and he was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Zhen'er, do you know why I am Xuan'er?" ”

"If you go back to your father's words, your sons don't know, please ask your father to give me instructions." Li Zhen saw that the old man's face was not good, how dare he be presumptuous, so he hurriedly kowtowed and replied respectfully.

"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "I don't know, I ask you, if someone intends to rebel, what should he be guilty of?" ”

"Kill!" Although Li Zhen was shocked in her heart, she did not show the slightest hesitation on her face, and answered loudly.

"Hey, what if that person is your closest relative?" Li Shimin continued to ask after him.

Dearest? Who? Mother? No way! Children of the Yan family? No way? Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, but he couldn't think of the old man's intention in asking this question, but at this moment, Li Zhen really couldn't think about it, and he couldn't help it, Li Zhen could only pretend to be full of righteous indignation and said: "Whoever dares to do a great act of rebellion is a person who deserves to be beheaded!" ”

"When chop? Hahaha......" Li Shimin suddenly laughed loudly, the laughter was full of desolation, after laughing wildly for a while, he glanced at Li Zhen, sighed and said: "I dominate the world, invincible, respect the way of the saint and educate the world, but I can't teach my own son well, every time I think about it, I can't help but toss and turn, heartache, hey, the son is not filial to the sorrow of the father, I ......" Li Shimin said this, his eyes were red, two bean-sized tears slipped down, and he choked and couldn't speak.

The old man's words were emotional, and Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a sense of concern - the fifth child outside was making a fuss about pulling the flag to rebel, and a group of princes in the Beijing division were not idle, everyone was worried about playing yin, busy mutiny, busy mutiny, busy taking advantage of the fire robbery is also preparing to take advantage of the guy, that is, Li Zhen himself is not the same heart as the old man, if Li Zhen is in the position of the old man, I am afraid that he may not be able to be as calm as the old man, when he thinks of this, Li Zhen can't help but feel a little sad, but he doesn't know how to persuade, I had to kneel there honestly, with my head down and not daring to say anything.

After all, Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, and he will not make a mistake because of his feelings, but after being hurt for a while, he has stabilized his mind and said coldly: "The prince rebelled, do you know?" ”

What? When Li Zhen heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded-the prince is about to rebel, this article is only afraid that the people of insight in the Tang Dynasty will already know it, but no one has put this on the table to say, in Li Zhen's opinion, the old man has long known in his heart that the reason why he has not endured it is nothing more than to plan to sweep away the power of all the princes in Beijing, of course, to achieve this goal, the old man is bound to not be able to startle the snake, he has to wait for the big guys to make trouble, and then come to the bottom, but now the old man has exposed this matter in person, That means that the old man doesn't plan to wait, either he has already done it, that is, he is about to do it, so that he will call himself at this time, and his intentions are only afraid that it will not be much better!

Oh no, it looks like the old man is going to stab Lao Tzu first, this time it's a big trouble! Li Zhen's heart tightened for a while, her brain turned quickly, and her face was full of pain: "Father Mingjian, the child has heard about this matter, but there is no empirical evidence, the matter is big, the child really does not dare to report to his father for no reason, this is the child's fault, please punish the father." At this juncture, Li Zhen didn't dare to say much, so she had to tell the truth, although the words were tactful, but it was also the truth, after all, Li Zhen has always been on the wrong path with the prince, and it seems impossible to break into the prince's henchmen circle on the surface, of course, it is impossible to have real evidence, but these are all on the surface, as for private, it is difficult to say.

"Hmph, what a rumor!" Li Shimin sneered and said, "I ask you, when did Wang Ji fall into Er's hands?" Say! ”

Yesterday, Li Zhen transferred Wang Ji to the hands of the third child, and it was only one night, and the old man knew that if Li Zhen had gone wrong, or the third child had a hidden pile of the old man - if it was the former, it would mean that all Li Zhen's actions would fall into the hands of the old man, and if he didn't die, he would have to shed his skin, if it was the latter, then it was okay to say, the big deal was to be reprimanded, but what was the problem, it was difficult to judge at the moment, Li Zhen could only gamble, gritted his teeth and said: "Father Mingjian, It's been a while since Erchen captured this thief, but it's just ......"

"Huh?" Seeing Li Zhen's spitting appearance, the old man's face sank and he snorted coldly.

Damn, fight! Li Zhen bit the tip of her tongue, and tears flowed out of her eyes, and she made a look of crying and crying: "My father forgives my sins, and my son's ministers are not on good terms with the prince's brother, but after all, my son's minister is a minister, and he really doesn't dare to put the prince's brother on charge. ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with a calm face for a while, and suddenly sighed, his face was full of exhaustion, as if he was more than ten years old, and waved his hand and said, "That's it, I don't sin it." ”

"Father, the son is not good, please punish the father heavily." Li Zhen kowtowed a few times and said with a sad face.

"Every man has his own life, and it is especially possible to live if it is evil in heaven, but it is impossible to live if it is evil in itself, so it is necessary to do whatever it wants." When Li Shimin said this, his words changed sharply, and he suddenly raised his voice and said: "I have taken down Li Chengqian, what do you say?" ”

What the? Taken? Depend on! The old man is so fast, damn, what's going on! Li Zhen was really dumbfounded this time, he never imagined that the old man would suddenly make a move, and he would take down the prince silently, so that the calculations of all the forces were afraid that all of them would fall into the void, that is, Li Zhen himself was also busy in vain, all the calculations were all in vain, not to mention, and he had to eat and hang up if he didn't make a good fuss.

"What? Are you dissatisfied? Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen coldly and asked with a cold face.

Dissatisfied? At this time, even if Li Zhen was dissatisfied, he didn't show it, so he hurriedly gathered up a mess of thoughts, kowtowed and said: "Father Mingjian, this news is too shocking, Erchen lost his mind for a while, I hope my father will forgive me, Erchen thinks that although the prince's brother is wrong, but after all, he is the prince, and it is easy to hurt the country if he moves lightly, please think twice." ”

"Oh? So you plan to intercede for Li Chengqian? Li Shimin showed a strange look, looked at Li Zhen for a while, and then asked slowly.

"Erchen doesn't dare, but the prince's brother is the emperor's brother after all, although he has never been on good terms with the son, but the brotherhood is indelible, the son's minister has the courage to implore his father to open the net, spare the prince's brother's life, and moreover, the prince's brother is the prince after all, even if he is guilty, he should be tried by the three divisions, and then tell the world, so that he can be justified. Li Zhen was not moved by the chill on the old man's face at all, and said freely.

"Hmph, presumptuous!" When Li Shimin heard this, he was furious, slammed the dragon table, stood up, pointed at Li Zhen and scolded: "You are so bold, you dare to despise me, I can't take you down!" ”

Whew, it's finally passed! Seeing that the old man was angry, Li Zhen was not only not afraid, but secretly rejoiced - Li Zhen's intention in saying this was to test the old man's mind, if the old man did not attack, but comforted him, it would prove that the old man was planning to take Li Zhen down together, don't look at the old man angry at this time, but it means that the old man still has Li Zhen's place in his heart, and he is angry that Li Zhen will tell the truth, and he will not leave the old man a little room for maneuver - according to the Tang system, abolishing the prince is not a trivial matter, Not only do you have to take the prince's shortcomings, but you also have to discuss the ministers, and the three divisions will be tried, and then you must tell the world that it is not up to the old man to have the final say.

"Father's anger, father's anger." Li Zhen just blindly kowtowed, but never changed his words, and at the end, Li Shimin obviously couldn't do anything about Li Zhen, so he sighed and said: "That's it, your words are also the way to seek the country, I don't sin you, get up." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Li Zhen had a bottom in her heart, she was no longer flustered, kowtowed, stood up, and stood with her head bowed respectfully, with a posture of obeying the old man's instructions.

"I called you to come, not to ask you to teach me how to do it, hmph, although the first evil has been captured, the remnants are still many, I will give you a thousand elite soldiers, and you will go and capture Hou Junji to me, do you dare?" Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and then said suddenly.

What? Take the old monkey? Damn, this old boy has a lot of cronies, it's not easy to take him, damn it, a thousand centaurs is enough for a fart! Li Zhen has already sent people to monitor Hou Junji's every move, knowing that Hou Junji has now mobilized most of his manpower to several secret villages outside the capital, those Zhuangzi are all the old nests that Comrade Hou has secretly operated for many years, if you want to break through, how can it be so easy, only a thousand people and horses are used for a fart, if you want to annihilate Hou Junji's people and horses, there are no five or six thousand elite soldiers who don't even have to think about it, but the old man has already spoken, and it seems that it is not possible to admit it, Li Zhen hesitated slightly: "If you go back to your father's words, your son is willing to lead his troops to capture this thief." ”

"Okay, I will give you a holy decree, and then immediately go to Xuanwu Gate to transfer troops, and then go." Li Shimin casually picked up a yellow silk masked holy decree from the dragon table and handed it to Li Zhen.

"Yes, Your Son." Although Li Zhen still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, so he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, received the holy decree, withdrew from the hall, and hurriedly rushed to the Xuanwu Gate where the Northern Yajun was located.

Xuanwu Gate is the palace guard, at this time it has already been three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, the security is very strict, Rao is Li Zhen has a holy decree in his hands, and he has also gone through several checks, only then did he see Li Hezong, the general of the Yulin Army.

Li Hezong, Li clan, Ningnan Hou, early fifties, in the early Tang Dynasty famous generals such as the era of clouds, no fame, no military exploits, but always loyal, is Li Shimin Longqian Qin Wangfu old man, deeply trusted by Li Shimin, from the Yulin military general, the right general step by step to the position of the general, has never been smiling, although Li Zhen acquaintance, but no deep friendship, at this time to see Li Zhen come by order, not much, just a little greeting, then assigned a famous man to point a thousand military horses to Li Zhen, may not even be aware of the purpose of Li Zhen's trip.

It is said that when the men and horses are in hand, it is time to send troops, but Li Zhen looked at the group of Yulin troops under him, and he was angry - these soldiers were not the strong soldiers that Li Zhen saw at the south gate of the palace in front of him, but the officers and soldiers of Yulin - it was purely the work of the honor guard, and it was no different from sending Hou Junji to death with such soldiers. Li Zhen glanced at the group of tofu soldiers with a headache, sighed, called Chen Liang, the captain of the personal guard, to his side, and whispered a few words......
