Chapter 453: The Capital
On the ninth day of the first month of March, with the first rain in the capital, the defenses of the capital were broken through.
The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the horse's hooves are light and fast.
When the army of King Qi rushed in, every household locked the doors and windows, for fear that the people outside would come in to burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil, who knew that the team was neat and orderly, and the army of King Qi did not stop in other places except for the rapid completion of the handover on the head of the city, but ran directly to the target - the palace.
It came too quickly, and it seemed like it should have been.
Changshou has thought of thousands of possibilities, and naturally includes this one possibility. It turned out that every time she thought of this kind of scene, she couldn't sleep well, but when it came to the end, she calmed down: "It's still coming when it's time to come, and it's a wrong step." "Failed to kill Li Qian before he was fledgling, which caused the current result.
She commanded, "Lian'er? β
"The slave is here."
"Command the dining room to prepare one hundred and eight meals."
"Whoa!" Mama Lian softly retired, and the room fell silent for a long time.
Changshou looked at herself in the mirror, the smile on her face, even if it was a sneer, she lay on the dressing table, and when there was no one, tears rolled down.
Why, she has been planning for most of her life, but she still makes mistakes?
Why, she didn't strangle Li Qi's little cub earlier!
Anger and hatred brought her mind back to her senses, and she wiped away her tears and began to choose clothes. Suddenlyβ
"Princess, no! The thieves broke into Zhengyangmen, and further on is Chengtianmen! β
"Princess, princess, King Qi led his troops into the Shenwu Gate......"
"Princess! β¦β¦β
Three messengers came in succession.
Changshou shouted: "Shut up for me!" "She didn't want to hear that at all!
She wanted to finish her breakfast, she wanted to choose a suitable outfit, and then ......
"Stand down!"
The guards retreated, Wei Chun did not dare to approach, the sound of swords and soldiers meeting was getting closer and closer, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter.
Between day and night, it is extraordinarily long and tiring.
Waiting for the door to open from the inside, Wei Chun saw that the eldest princess of Changshou had changed into a gown.
The Son of Heaven Emperor can admire the twelve chapters of the red and black big qiugon, with a jade crown of one hundred and twenty.
Dignified and majestic, the well-dressed eldest princess of Changshou asked Wei Chun, "How?"
What else? Wei Chun hurriedly knelt down and shouted "Long live".
The eldest princess of Changshou has finally come to this point. She was afraid that she had gone crazy and knelt late, and he was worried that his head would not be safe. Even if the King of Qi came, his head might not be saved.
"Prepare and prepare, gather the ministers, let's go to the Taiji Hall and wait." King Qi is about to come in, and she didn't let the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu out of the palace at all yesterday.
Some of these people are grass on the wall, and they see the wind and steer the rudder, but even if they are going to die, they have to be buried with someone, right? What's more, it is not yet known who will die on the road.
Wei Chun bent down: "Huh." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Xuan entered the Taiji Palace from the Shenwu Gate, and he did not burn, kill and loot everywhere he went.
The soldier moves quickly, and if the other party surrenders voluntarily, a life can still be saved.
When all the dust settled, Li Qi walked up the stone steps of the Taiji Hall with his clothes neat.
With a creak, the door of the temple opened.
Li Qian raised his feet and stepped in: "Auntie, grandmother." β
"Well, here?"
"Here we are."
Neither of them seemed surprised by this meeting.
"It's good to come, your father was seriously ill in the early years, and he should come back when he called you back to serve the sick." Changshou even had a hint of a smile on his lips, and as he spoke, the crown of one hundred and twenty beads on his head shook slightly.
"I came back then, I'm afraid I won't be able to live now, my aunt said, yes or no?"
"Who said that?" Changshou didn't admit it, and said with a smile: "Come and see your nephews, they are all back to serve the sick, aren't they also alive and well?" β
After saying that, three children no more than ten years old were brought up. The eldest is called Li Qian, the eldest son of the King of Chu; The second largest is today's son, Li Yao, who was originally from Zhao Wangfu; The youngest one is named Li Zhen, and he is the sister-in-law of the king of Chu.
I heard that the palace wanted the king of Chu to return to Beijing to serve the sick, and the king of Chu was unwell and sent his eldest son, but the eldest son was a concubine, which caused dissatisfaction in the palace, and the king of Chu was helpless, so he sent his son-in-law to the capital, which made the palace slightly satisfied.
Chubby and Zhuang followed Li Xuan's side, looking at their older brothers.
Li Yao took the lead in smiling and said, "Say hello to the Sixth Emperor Uncle." β
Li Xuan waved his hand, as if he didn't see that Changshou had been crowned emperor by himself: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so you don't have to make such a big gift." β
Li Yao's face burned all of a sudden, he looked a little helpless, he didn't know anything when he was a child, but when he grew up, he knew what kind of son of heaven he was? How can the Son of Heaven make such a wretch? And...... Now the robes and jade crowns are worn on other people's bodies.
He is cramped and uncomfortable now, where is he still half of the cleverness that he was famous for?
"Etiquette should not be abolished." Changshou said: "The young and the old are orderly, there is a way to respect the inferior, the elders are the elders, Qi'er said, is this the truth?" β
"What my aunt said is very true, but I don't know how you became yourself now in the high hall as a dragon chair?" Li Qi asked rhetorically.
"Why not? What's wrong? This Daning foundation was laid down by the ancestors of the Li family, your surname is Li, and my surname is Li, why can't I sit on this dragon chair? β
Li Xuan shook his head: "It is true that the Daning Foundation was laid down by the ancestors of the Li family, but now it has been lost in the hands of my aunt and grandmother, and my aunt and grandmother are not ashamed at all, is it not shameful?" β
"You are presumptuous!" The beads shook violently, Changshou almost couldn't hold back, pointed at Li Xuan and said: "You set off the war first, and you have no respect for the last, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, I don't know how many people have been harmed along the way, you should be ashamed!" β
"These words are a bit out of thin air, and there is no basis for empty words." Li Qian was still wearing battle armor, and his tone was very relaxed: "Daning has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, either a major drought or a flood bursting the embankment, if my aunt and grandmother should take the people of the world as their own responsibility, even if they become the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it, but aunt and grandmother, what have you done?" Regardless of the long river bursting the embankment, you quietly increased your troops and went to Beichuan to Guning to beat me a vassal king? Not to mention how many loyal generals you slaughtered before and after you took the throne by unscrupulous means? β
Changshou opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't interject, even if he opened his mouth, Li Qian didn't care what she said, he only said quickly: "Besides, after you took the position, you were nepotistic and harsh, and anyone who did not obey you, or even remained neutral and did not express his position, I don't know how many were driven out by you."
If I burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil all the way, it is better to say that my aunt and grandmother are willful and reckless, and she only has power in her heart, and there are no people and the world to speak of.
Today's situation is full of natural disasters and man-made disasters caused by my aunt and grandmother. β
"You...... You're the opposite! β
"Yes, I'm the other way around. But I'm not the first to rebel, if I don't rebel, can An have a way to live? β
"It's the other way around, where are so many excuses?"
Li Qian smiled bitterly: "It's not an excuse. Auntie, at this time, do you still think that everything is someone else's fault? β
