(New Year's Chapter)

Pingyang appeased Li Tai, sent someone to invite the prince, and waited with the soldiers in the city for half an hour, so he saw Li Chengqian with a black face, slowly climbing the city wall, and appeared in front of her, the dark fire in Pingyang's heart was probably much less than Li Tai.

"Auntie." Li Chengqian called out in a muffled voice and stopped there.

"Li Chengqian," in front of many forbidden troops on the wall, Pingyang called him by name, his face was very ugly, "No matter what anger you have in your heart, you can send people to Li Tai now, and when your father recovers from his illness, he will be investigated, and this palace can also help you say a few words, otherwise, it will cause a big disaster, and this palace will be the first to lift your position in the East Palace."

Hearing this merciless reprimand, Li Chengqian raised his head sharply, unbelievable that Pingyang would threaten himself with the position of the East Palace in a grand manner.

"Okay, good, you all know that you are helping him and pampering him, it was before, and it is now," Li Chengqian lowered his head, muttered twice to himself, clamped his arm hanging by his side, and sneered at Pingyang, saying:

"What my aunt said, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Pingyang's eyebrows froze, "Why is this?" ”

"I have already killed the man, what will I give him."

Pingyang was stunned for a moment, the anger in his eyes swelled, and he pulled Li Chengqian's clothes, pressed his neck, and vigorously pressed him towards the city.

"Look, look what's down there, brute"

Li Chengqian was forced to look at the city, only to see a sea of people, where the fire was lit, there were soldiers and horses, spears and spears, wanting to overthrow the mountain city, and after an hour, the soldiers and horses under the city gathered more and more, and there were already more than 5,000.

There are people in the city with sharp eyes, and when they see the figure on the city, I don't know who shouted "The prince is here", and they catered to each other, one after another, and became a wave in a moment.

"The prince came out, and the Great Overseer did justice to me"

"The Prince Comes Out"

"Give the Grand Overseer justice to me"

"See?" Pingyang pulled the pale-faced Li Chengqian back from the city, "If Li Tai knows that you killed his people, if the army attacks the city and is in a panic, who can save your life?" ”

"He, they don't dare, this is a rebellion, this is a rebellion, this palace is the prince, they are a capital crime"

Pingyang's eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said: "The most fearless soldier who conquers the battlefield is death." ”

She looked at Li Chengqian's trance-like expression, and her heart was full of bitterness, and the last thing she wanted to see was a battle between brothers.

"Li Tai's ambition is high, he has been accumulating momentum for a long time, your father and emperor have long expected that he is unwilling to forbear, so he promised an expedition to stabilize the army's heart as his prince, if he is unfavorable this time, he will frustrate his spirit, if he has to make meritorious contributions, then he just uses his sharp blade to open the frontier and protect the country, sure enough, he solved the Turkic Western trouble, and broke the passage of the Western Regions, and made great contributions."

"Earlier, your father was afraid that if he won, returning to the court would be detrimental to the court, so he issued an edict to recall his wife and daughter from Hebei, firstly, for fear that someone would make a fuss about her with ill intentions, and secondly, he wanted to use this to contain Li Tai, so that he would not dare to act rashly, and only wait for the expeditionary force to return to the various military mansions, and he would be safe."

"The imperial brother felt unwell early, so at the beginning of the illness, he handed over the responsibility of supervising the country to you, and wanted you, the prince, to sit in the court and cultivate prestige, and then his health deteriorated, and he had to move to Daming Palace to recuperate, for fear that you would take the opportunity to embarrass the Wei Palace, and wait for Li Tai to come back and not end well, so he sent someone to send a letter to Luoyang in advance, asking me to return to Beijing in time to stabilize the situation."

"Princess Chana Wei came to me for help, I learned that you were said by the imperial brother, and it really embarrassed the Wei Palace, so I took advantage of the situation to escort her back to Beijing, and protected her family under the door of my Princess's Mansion, and when Li Tai came back, I wouldn't make a big deal because you sealed his Wei Palace, unexpectedly——"

Pingyang took a deep breath and couldn't suppress his indignation at hating iron and steel:

"Unexpectedly, your father was critically ill the day before yesterday, I rushed to Daming Palace to serve the sick, but I didn't have time to explain to the house, but I was caught by you bastard and got his concubine into the palace. When he returned victorious, there must have been plenty of grain and grass in the spoils of war to last for many days. It is now the winter season, and it coincides with the dispatch of troops from the north and south military governments, and it is the weakest time in Beijing, but there are only 10,000 people, how do you call them to defeat Li Tai's triumphant army? ”

"Occupy the right time, place and people, only one justifiable reason, if he learns that his beloved wife has died, this fire is added, he has the support of a large army, without your father and emperor to preside over the overall situation, do you really dare not oppose him?"

Li Chengqian listened to Pingyang's antecedents and consequences, his face was bloodless, he would detain the jade in the palace, just to get a bad breath, but he never thought that it would be because of a woman, but gave Li Tai an excuse to rebel, and in a panic, he grabbed Pingyang's sleeve and said:

"Auntie, aren't you still a soldier in your hands?"

"It's hard to quench your thirst from far water," Pingyang frowned, turned his gaze to the city, took a breath, and said: "Now we can only use a delaying tactic, persuade Li Tai to retreat first, and let him know that Princess Wei is dead." ”

For her own sake, Pingyang hated to slap the prince who killed the daughter of her old friend, but for the sake of her family and country, she must stabilize the situation and not let Chang'an be in chaos.

"I will personally take you out of the city to talk to Li Tai now, and you will tell him that Princess Wei has been sent elsewhere and is not in the palace, and then allow him to recover the three-day covenant, promise to return the person, and drag him first, there is a place where the soldiers are hidden in Jingzhao Nanshan, and only I and your father and uncle know that the talisman is in the hands of your uncle, and I will discuss with him and send troops."

Li Chengqian had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard Pingyang say this, he had a contest in his heart, and he was even more afraid that Pingyang would find out that he lied that the Yu Yu was dead, so he decided to go back and kill the Yu Yu, and he must not let her live.

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt's arrangement."

So, accompanied by Pingyang, the forbidden army took the risk of opening the city gate and sending her and the prince outside the city to meet Li Tai.

The wind outside the city was trembling, and the figures were crowded, Li Tai looked at Pingyang, who was the first to appear, and moved his gaze from Pingyang, who was the first to appear, to Li Chengqian, who was behind her, and his sharp gaze was a little more full in a flash.

"Li Tai, this palace knows your intention to come tonight," in front of many people, Pingyang knew that it was not easy to explain his words, "Your imperial brother has something to say to you, you just listen to it, and it's not too late to make plans." ”

After that, she pushed Li Chengqian forward, and the latter heard her instructions on the city tower, so she waved her hands at Li Tai in a sullen voice and said:

"Fourth brother, it was because my brother was not thoughtful, wronged you for collaborating with the enemy, and took a thing from your house privately, you came to the door to ask for it, and it should be returned, but she has now been sent elsewhere by me, not in the palace, you should not be impatient, give a three-day period for your brother, and will find the original and return it."

Pingyang saw that Li Tai only frowned slightly, obviously half-convinced, knowing that he had to speak himself, so he said:

"There is this palace here, are you still afraid that he will trick you, you take someone back to your Wei Wangfu first, the seal is torn, whoever dares to say half a word of gossip about you, let him come to this palace." In front of the army, the palace will give you a word, after three days, if your imperial brother does not return the 'lost property' and give you an explanation, the palace will let you ask him to collect the debt, and then ignore the matter. ”

Seeing that Li Tai was still not moving, she was anxious, straightened her face, and added another fire, "Which is more important, you have to think clearly, there will be gains and losses, it depends on whether you know whether you advance and retreat." ”

Pingyang knew that he was gambling, betting on Li Tai's heart, what the weight of the left jade was, as long as he missed this affection, for the safety of the left jade, he would wait for these three more days, if he insisted on going his own way tonight, then only the will of heaven would be like this.

"According to my aunt's words, three days later, before sunset."

Li Tai put down the deadline, pursed his lips, turned the reins of his horse, turned back into the road where the troops were consciously scattered, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"The generals will listen to the order, camp outside the Golden Light Gate, and wait for three days."

After solving the crisis of Anfumen and bidding farewell to Pingyang, who went to ask for troops with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian hurried back to the East Palace and ran to Yan Wan's residence first.

"Wan'er, take this palace to see the woman."

Yan Wan looked at Li Chengqian, who looked embarrassed, and shook her head with low eyebrows and said:

"Your Highness, it's late, an hour ago, Wan'er had already let her go."

"What?" Li Chengqian was shocked, "You let her go?" Where to put it? ”

"She should have been out of the palace a long time ago, as for where she went after leaving the palace, Wan'er doesn't know."

"Jian Cargo Palace asked you to teach her a lesson, but you dared to let her go"

Li Chengqian slapped Yan Wan with a flick of his hand, and kicked over the flower stand on the side again, the flower pot fell, shattered in response, and sprinkled soil on the ground.

Yan Wan lay on the ground silently, and Li Chengqian lost his temper for a long time before sitting on the soft couch with his head down, thinking about countermeasures.

If Yu Yu was let go like this, he must have gone to find Li Tai, and when Li Tai found someone, wouldn't his concealment of Pingyang be exposed?

Or, Li Tai pretended that he couldn't find anyone, and deliberately waited until three days later to lead troops to force the palace

The more Li Chengqian thought that this was possible, and because Pingyang threatened him on the city wall to abolish his position as the crown prince, he was jealous, so he thought about it a thousand times, gritted his teeth, and felt that he couldn't sit still, so he immediately left Yan Wan, got up and went to the study to write a secret letter, and asked the personal guards to send him out of the palace overnight.

At the time of the third watch, the two armies confronted each other outside the Anfu Gate, but the remnants were sent out of the palace gate by the truck pulling the feed and unloaded in an alley on Suzaku East Street.

Yi Yu squatted in the car for a long time, dizzy from the smell, and his legs and feet were numb and pulled out of the wooden box.

"Ahem, you, you, where are you taking me?"

The two servants who were carrying her did not answer, and the eunuch who pulled the cart bowed his head and followed, and sent her directly into a small door at the end of the alley, and dragged her into a room in the courtyard.

Yi Yu was pushed coldly, staggered to the ground, clutched his chest and coughed twice, suddenly heard someone in the room chuckling, looked up, and was surprised to see the face of an acquaintance.

"Giggles," Changsun Xi sat on a Xiangfei couch that did not match this simple room, holding the hand stove, looking at the Yi Yu sitting on the ground with a stunned face, and the beautiful eyes that were flowing with waves were indescribably proud:

"That stupid woman, she really sent you to me without telling the prince, she thought I couldn't see through her little tricks, and the trouble led to the east, but I don't know, what I want is your trouble."

When Yi Yu saw the eldest grandson, he thought about it before and after, and there was something he didn't understand.

"Ahem, it turns out that from beginning to end, you are doing the ghost, no wonder"

No wonder the prince took advantage of Pingyang's absence to summon her into the palace, among them, the eldest grandson Xi was indispensable to fan the flames, if it was about killing people with a knife, among the women she had seen, the most powerful one was the one in front of her.

As if knowing what Yi Yu was thinking, the eldest grandson Xi squinted at her and teased in a good mood:

"Yes, it is true that I said that I moved the prince's cousin to vent your anger, and then coaxed Yan Wan to take the opportunity to send you out behind my cousin's back, how about it, is it comfortable to live in the palace for a few days, the prince is gentle to you? Giggles"

obviously gave birth to such a beautiful face, but her character is bad to the bones, and Yu Yu has never been able to understand how the relationship between her and the eldest grandson Xi has deteriorated to this point, so that she wants to entangle herself like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

"I don't understand, if you just want to harm me, why do you go around in such a big circle and send me in and out, what is the purpose?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know yet," Changsun Xi took a sip of tea slowly and methodically, and said, "Li Tai has returned to Beijing." ”

Hearing the news, Yu Yu was stunned, and her heart jumped up in disobedience, but her face was mixed, as if she didn't know whether this was good news or bad news.

"Let me tell you again, Li Tai won the battle, Hou Jun gathered to destroy Gaochang, he expelled the Turks entrenched in the south of the Broken Leaf River, and opened up the northwest road. He has made such a great achievement, and after returning to Beijing, he should have enjoyed all the honors, but because of you, all this is ruined. ”

Changsun Xi put away his smile, stared at Yi Yu with cold eyes, and said: "I just said that you are a broom star, and sooner or later his future will be affected. ”

Yi Yu was suddenly dumbfounded, and when she heard Li Tai's siege of the city for her, she felt like a drum, and she couldn't answer for a while.

"My cousin is also a fool who has no prospects, the emperor is seriously ill, and he handed over the responsibility of supervising the country to him, he doesn't want to forge ahead, and he just takes the opportunity to plot a great cause, but thinks that he is sitting firmly in the East Palace, narrow-minded, and only wants to get rid of Li Tai, and misses the good opportunity to force the palace."

"It's good now, Li Tai mobilized troops, the emperor can't get sick, and now it's Pingyang who is doing peace outside the palace gate, she will definitely guess that the problem is you, my cousin can't hand over people, Li Tai won't give up, the troops in Beijing are insufficient, Pingyang will drag on for two or three days at most, and in the end they still have to fight, and when the war is together, Li Tai is rebelling."

Changsun Xi deliberately bit the word "rebellion", and was satisfied to see that Yu Yu's face changed:

"My father still has a secret army in his hands, and he will come from Nanshan for a maximum of three days, Pingyang will definitely use this army to suppress Li Tai, and when the war starts, if Li Tai is weak, if he is strong, I will hand you over to Pingyang, she will definitely threaten Li Tai with you to protect Chang'an, do you want to know, will he choose to fight, or will he surrender for you?"

Yu Yu shuddered, and couldn't hide the turmoil in her heart, this woman actually wanted to use her to play with the three armies

She originally thought that Changsun Xi only hated herself, and she didn't want her to hurt Li Tai now.

"I finally know why Your Highness doesn't like you," Yi Yu scoffed, "a woman like you, insidious and vicious, crazy like a dog, who wants to bite anyone when he sees it, and His Highness likes a gentle and caring woman like me, so he will be bored with you, and even frown when I occasionally mention you." ”

Seeing the undisguised disgust in Yi Yu's eyes, Changsun Xi squinted his eyes, hated in his heart, walked down, squatted in front of Yi Yu, grabbed the hair on the back of her neck, and pulled back, making her look up in pain, look at herself, and sneer:

"Don't try to provoke me, you want to die, it's not that easy, I'll let you see with your own eyes, how he was ruined by you, if you want to blame, you can only blame why you want to come back."

After speaking, the eldest grandson Xi let go of the hair of the relict jade, rubbed the palm of her shoulder on her shoulder, stood up, led the two stout servants towards the door, and instructed the eunuch who sent the relict jade out of the palace:

"Ah Wu, keep an eye on her, don't let her seek death."

The supervisor closed the door with his backhand, locked it, and stood upright outside the door.

Inside the house, Yi Yu coughed for a while, and when the numbness in her legs and feet subsided, she slowly stood up, glanced at the oil lamp that was about to go out in the room, and staggered to the door with a light on her chest and sat down.

"Alas"

On the third day of the first month of November, the prince said that he was ill and could not go to court early, and many of the ministers heard about what happened outside the Fu'an Gate last night, and the people were flustered, and they gathered outside the Chengtian Gate to inquire about each other.

Only when Li Tai was in one breath did he challenge the prince, who knows what the inside story is.

The army of 10,000 people stationed outside the Jinguang Gate was too conspicuous, and before noon, there was a storm in the city.

The Wei Wangfu was opened, Li Tai returned to the house, and closed the door to thank the guests, even Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, came to the door, but he didn't see him.

In the study room that had been washed out of the Jade Courtyard, Li Tai sat behind the cleaned desk, looking through a stack of letters that had been backlogged for many days, Ah Sheng walked in from outside and disturbed softly:

"Lord Wang, the little county lord has been sent over from the princess's mansion, do you want your subordinates to let Aunt Qin bring it to you to see?"

Li Tai paused for a moment as he turned the page, and said lightly, "No." ”

Ah Sheng raised his head, glanced at him cautiously, stepped forward, took out a crumpled note from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

Li Tai took it, swept it into his eyes, his lips pursed slightly, and the fingers holding the note made a force, but after all, it was not torn, but collected in his sleeve.

"Send me an order out of the city"

Pingyang successfully borrowed the talisman from the eldest grandson Wuji, and after the two discussed, they were fully prepared, as long as three days later, Li Tai dared to rebel, how to arrange the troops, how to outflank the encirclement and suppression, and calculate them one by one.

Without further ado, on the morning of the third day of the new year, Pingyang sent his henchmen out of the city to Nanshan with a military talisman to transfer troops, while she was in Beijing.

She has everything arranged carefully, and she only needs to wait for two days to stabilize the situation in Chang'an City again, but who knows, on this night, when she was busy all day and was about to go to bed, she suddenly got a bad news -

"Princess Qiyu, there are suddenly a large number of warriors gathered in the west of the city."

Pingyang's sleepiness disappeared and he said nervously: "Where are they going?" ”

"It seems to be the direction of Yankang Fang."

Pingyang thought about it, and slammed the bed, "It's broken"

"Princess?"

"Quickly go and mobilize the guards in the house, and receive the order in the front yard after half a cup of tea, quickly"

The matter was urgent, Pingyang didn't care about changing his clothes, so he casually pulled a cloak and tied it, took off the sword that had been used to decorate the wall, and strode out of the door.

Rushing from the east of the city to the west of the city, the fast horse also needs half a pillar of incense, it is such a big effort, and when Pingyang feels it, it is still a step too late.

Outside the gate of the Wei Palace, the lights were dim, the gate was open, the blood in front of the door was surging to the sky, and the blood-stained swords fell on the ground, and people kept carrying mutilated corpses out of the mansion and throwing them to the side of the road, as well as the living mouths, all of which were tied up and pushed to the corner.

Li Tai stood outside the door, wearing a thin silk shirt, his hair was scattered, and he held an arm that was hastily tied, and looked at the scene in front of the door with a calm face.

Hearing the sound of horses, he turned his head and saw Pingyang, who was running towards the horse angrily, lifted his eyelids, and said:

"Auntie, the prince sent someone to attack me at night."

Pingyang stared at his left arm, which was still oozing blood, and forced himself to calm down:

"Is there a misunderstanding?"

Li Tai turned his head, Ah Sheng understood, so he asked the guards to carry out two martial artists with big ties from the corner of the wall, throw them in front of Pingyang, lift their chins, and let them raise their heads and show their faces.

When Pingyang looked at these two people, her face turned green, even if she was not often in Beijing, she also recognized one of them as a guard by Li Chengqian's side.

Ah Sheng raised his toes and kicked one person in the lower abdomen, and the painful person knelt on the ground, "said"

As soon as Pingyang closed his eyes, he needed to say more in this situation.

On the night of the third day of the first month of November, the prince sent 50 strong men to attack the palace of the king of Wei at night, which was observed by the king of Wei and was defeated.

That night, outside the Daming Palace, hundreds of assassins broke in, the guards were killed and wounded, blocked outside the Wangxian Gate, and then were ambushed by the expeditionary force in the east of the city early.

The incident, after overnight interrogation, was found to be the work of the crown prince Chengqian, including the former Chengyang princess Ma Duhe, the Han king Li Yuanchang, and the son of the princess Changguang, Zhao Jie.

The king of Wei supported his troops and broke into the East Palace, the Chengyang Princess's Mansion, and the Han Wang's Mansion in the early morning of the second day, and arrested the prince and his people.

In the morning, Yu Yu was curled up in the corner of the wall, draped in a broken blanket and falling asleep, when the locked door was suddenly opened, and the cold wind poured in, waking her up at once.

Looking up, Changsun Xi was standing at the door, looking out of the door, waving his hand, and signaling to the eunuch guarding the door:

"Take it away."

The prisoner stepped forward, carried the tired and defenseless Yu on his shoulder, followed Changsun Xi out of the small courtyard quickly, and got into a carriage waiting outside the door.

Sitting in the car, Yi Yu had the opportunity to take a good look at Changsun Xi, and saw that her hair was slightly messy, wearing a very indecent gray skirt and brown shirt, dressed as a folk woman, and couldn't help but mock:

"Is the imperial aunt going down to the field to do farm work? Don't bring a hoe with you. ”

The eunuch Ah Wu sat at the door of the car, listened to her jokes, and lowered his head.

"Shut up," Changsun Xi rubbed the corners of his aching forehead and sneered, "Don't worry, you're about to come in handy." ”

"I've always been curious." Yi Yu was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

The eldest grandson Xi stared at her as if he were looking at a dead man, "What." ”

"On Princess Pingyang's birthday that year, did you regret making that bet with me?"

A glass of wine, walking towards a dangerous banquet, a glass of wine, walking towards the marriage of the second half of her life, she chose forward, for the impulse of love, and shared the danger with Li Tai, while Changsun Xi chose backward, for the sake of fame and fortune, ruined the second half of her life.

Changsun Xi stiffened his face, did not answer, turned his head, and lifted the curtain to see the movement outside.

"If you don't want to answer, forget it," Yi Yu rubbed his sore neck, and said softly to the gloomy eldest grandson:

"Shall I tell you a secret?"

didn't care that she leaned forward, and the eldest grandson didn't look back, and said impatiently: "What? ”

"I went back to Chang'an, in fact, to help His Royal Highness bring down the prince."

Breathing to his ears, Changsun Xi snorted, turned his head, and looked at Yi Yu's face in front of him, her body smelled bad, her cheeks were dirty, and her lips were full of dry skin, but her eyes were very clear.

"What did you just say?"

Yi Yu didn't say it a second time, smiled, and sat back.

The uneasiness in Changsun Xi's heart gradually expanded, as if he finally realized something, and said in a panic: "Ah Wu, tie her up, tie her up"

The eunuch Ah Wu didn't move, and turned his head to look at Yi Yu.

"Shut her mouth."

"Yes."

Changsun Xi didn't have time to adapt to this mutation, so he looked at the guard who had been with her for four years in horror, quickly reached out and pointed at her acupoint, took out a ball of soft cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.

The carriage rolled and went, until it reached the gate of the Dali Temple, and before she was thrown off the car with a stiff body, she only heard the last whisper of Yu Yu:

"There is one sentence you should not forget, my luck has always been better than yours."

Lying on the cold street, Changsun Xi, who was dressed as a folk woman and was about to escape from the city, stared at a pair of eyes, not understanding where she lost this time.

I'm afraid there are some secrets that she won't understand until she dies.

Yi Yu sat in the carriage, took the cloak handed by Ah Wu, wrapped the frozen body, relaxed his body and leaned against the wall of the car, let out a sigh, turned his head to look at Ah Wu who was making tea for her, recalled the adventure of these few days, and couldn't help sighing:

"Thanks to her involvement, the prince will lose his breath so quickly. But do they all think I'm stupid? The 100,000 army returned to the DPRK such a big movement, how could there be no rumor at all in Chang'an City, either it was intercepted halfway, or no one came back at all, I smelled the conspiracy from then on, I was afraid that I was in prison, self-defeating, and specially sent an inconspicuous servant to send the Tibetan letter to ask for help, I was sent out of the palace by Yan Shuren that night, and I didn't report any hope, fortunately, fortunately, the letter was delivered, Ah Wu, thank you. ”

"The little ones don't dare to be."

"If you can see my eldest brother and tell him on my behalf, I miss him very much, and soon, soon our family will be reunited."

(Thank you for the pink of the past two days, send more points today, solve it once, the pros in the province have a headache and brain fever, and the remaining doubts will be disclosed tomorrow, and you can also guess at will.) Thank you to the relatives who have sent him recently, condensing Bingqing, Xia Qin, PDX, they are all acquaintances, next time call the nickname, haha. The convention is still to strike first, and then find bugs. ）。
