Early the next morning, not long after Li Tai got up, before he had time to wash and eat, a messenger from Chang'an City asked to see him, it was Shen Hui who had returned to the dynasty to serve as the secretary of the five soldiers.

While Li Tai invited people in, he quickly washed up in the inner room, and when he entered the hall, Shen Hui was already waiting at the table.

"It's rude for Shangshu to arrive but not be able to meet him from afar!"

Li Tai stepped forward and said with a smile to Shen Hui.

Seeing this, Shen Hui also hurriedly stood up from the banquet, and replied: "The Duke of Taiyuan must be very tired after coming from a long distance, and he is already deeply sorry for coming early in the morning, how dare he work to welcome him again."

When Li Tai entered the Overlord Mansion in the early days, Shen Hui and the others were already old men in the Overlord Mansion for a long time, but in recent years, they have experienced different experiences with each other, and now Li Tai has far surpassed these Overlord predecessors in terms of power. When they meet again, no matter what these people think in their hearts, they must maintain a respectful attitude towards Li Tai.

After a brief exchange of greetings with each other, Shen Hui then clarified his intentions: "I was ordered by the Great Sima to invite the Duke of Taiyuan to the south of the city to discuss military affairs, I don't know if the Duke of Taiyuan is feasible at the moment?"

It was only after Li Tai arrived in Chang'an that he learned that his father-in-law, Dugu Xin, was also in charge of specific affairs, and as the Grand Sima, he was responsible for coordinating and dispatching all the people around Gyeonggi to prevent accidents.

At present, inside and outside Chang'an City, in addition to the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Chinese and foreign governments brought by Yuwentai, there are also the original forbidden army, city guards and state and county people. For example, some of the powerful troops around Gyeonggi, although they also belong to the government military system, are not currently within the recruitment and transfer of Chinese and foreign governments, and are recuperating in the countryside, and this part of the people also needs to be monitored and controlled.

The previous forbidden army had already planned against Yuwentai, and now at such a sensitive moment, of course, all parties also need a big man of sufficient weight to coordinate and communicate in order to reduce friction and avoid misunderstandings.

Dugu Xin is not necessarily the highest in military talent among the pillar countries, but he is definitely the widest in terms of popularity. When Taishi Yuwentai needed to sit firmly in the center of the imperial city and didn't have time to take care of these miscellaneous matters, Dugu Xin undoubtedly became the most suitable person for this matter.

Hearing Shen Hui say this, Li Tai also nodded, signaled Shen Hui to wait for a while, and first turned into the inner room to change into a hakama pleated robe and then put on a half-body soft armor, and then returned to the hall, explaining that Gao Le and others stayed in this military city, and he led Zhang Shinu, several Feng and other cronies in the tent to leave the military city, and entered the southern city of Chang'an under the leadership of Shen Hui.

Dugu Xin's office was set up in the south of the city not far from the city gate, it was a huge tent, surrounded by many armor soldiers, and several Dugu family generals saw Li Taixing coming, and they all entered the front fork to salute.

After hearing the voice, the people in the tent also came out one after another, including the big Sima Duguxin who was surrounded by everyone.

Dugu Xin is also dressed in military clothes and light armor, and when he saw Li Tai walking towards him, he showed a look of relief, walked forward and didn't care about the feelings of others, and said to Li Tai with a smile: "Erlang can return to Beijing in time, most of my worries have been relieved, and I can finally rest assured."

While speaking, he pulled Li Tai back to the tent, and after a little inquiry, he knew that Li Tai had not had time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly ordered the military officers in the tent to put away the military registration affairs for the time being, and asked people to hurry up to serve the meal, and then sat in the banquet and watched Li Tai enter the breakfast with a smile.

As for the other people in the tent, they naturally didn't dare to urge, so they sat in the middle of the table and watched Dugu Xin's meticulous care for this son-in-law. A few generals who had also joined the proceedings early in the morning and had not yet had time to eat breakfast could not help but feel hungry when they saw the steaming meal, but they did not dare to speak out.

Under the warm greeting of his father-in-law, Li Tai had no choice but to eat and broadcast for a while, gobbling up the food such as Hu Biscuits and prison pills served by the guards, and then wiped his mouth and signaled that he could continue the discussion.

Duguxin is mainly responsible for the dispatch of people and horses outside Chang'an City, mainly around the city south of Weishui, the core of which is the southern suburbs. Since the new emperor needs to go to the southern suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens after ascending the throne, this ceremonial venue must focus on martial law.

Li Tai, who had just returned to Beijing, accepted this important task, and his men and horses were responsible for stationing near the mound, as for other areas and passes

At the intersection of the road, the other centaurs are responsible.

Li Tai has no objection to this arrangement, since he has been called back to participate in this matter, of course, he must stand in the most conspicuous position in order to show his sense of existence and gain the admiration of the masses.

Originally, he also planned to carefully discuss this matter with the Chinese and foreign governments, but he didn't want his father-in-law to be in charge of this matter, which would save trouble.

When Duguxin asked if he wanted to raise some ceremonial equipment, Li Tai waved his hand confidently, saying that in addition to the cultural relics and so on needed for ceremonies, the armor of the soldiers did not need to be allocated separately.

He returned to Beijing this time to show off his might, so all kinds of light and heavy armor were readily available in his baggage, which guaranteed that he would be able to amaze the audience at that time, and buried an impression of Jingzhou people and horses in the minds of those courtiers.

At present, there are still three days before the official date of abolition, which is a major national event after all, so we also pay attention to a date and process. In addition to the headquarters stationed in Yuanqiu, Li Tai is also responsible for other work.

After Yuwentai learned that Dugu Xin had arranged Li Tai's work, he did not express any objections, but turned his head and arranged another task for him, that is, to be responsible for leading the men and horses into the city to garrison the palace of the King of Qi to protect the King of Qi Yuankuo before he entered the palace.

So Li Tai led another 1,000 elite soldiers into the city and went to the palace of the king of Qi to settle down.

The mansion of King Yuan Kuo of Qi is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city of Chang'an, originally the king of Qi was mourned here, and after the subordination, he built a house here.

When Li Tai led his troops here, Yuan Kuo had already led a group of retainers and servants to wait in the door of the house, seeing this scene, Li Tai hurriedly dismounted and entered the house, bowed to the king of Qi, and said: "The ministers are ordered by the Anhua Gongyu Wen Taishi to enter this guard, His Royal Highness can just treat each other in the mansion, just a small minister, how dare you be here!"

Qi Wang Yuankuo is the fourth son of the first emperor Yuan Bao Ju, and now he is seventeen or eighteen years old, seeing Li Tai saluting him, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his forearm with both hands, and said with a smile: "The Duke of Taiyuan is too modest, if the Duke is still a minister, then who dares to be a big man in the Manchu Dynasty?" Those who are fortunate are alone, but they are born at this portal, and in the face of important ministers such as Taiyuan Gong, they dare to treat each other arrogantly!"

Li Tai raised his head and looked at this polite and soon-to-be-new king, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thinking that when he got married, Yuan Kuo used to be a welcome gift, and at that time he was just a child who knew what was going on, but now he has become a quiet and polite young man.

But today's Western Wei royal family is already in decline, whether it is Yuan Kuo, who is about to ascend the throne, or the brother Yuan Qin, who is about to be abolished, they are just tools for powerful ministers to control the power of the country. As Yuan Kuo said, it is actually the greatest misfortune to be born. If you are born at another door, you can still have hope for the future glory and disgrace, but the young king in front of him is destined to have no future.

Yuan Kuo is not a man born in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of women, although he is not very old, but his resume is also rich, not only in the country, Yuwentai even replaced Yuwen to export the town of Qinzhou when he went east, so he is not ignorant of personnel outside the palace.

It is worth noting that today's Yuan Kuo is not the sister-in-law of several Feng. Before the death of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, he also married his son Zhang Luo, and several Hui families were also among the alternatives. Although some Hui has been dead for several years, his subordinates and connections are still there, and it is probably in the opinion of Yuan Bao Ju that if he can marry, his influence on the royal family can also be strengthened.

But at that time, a number of Feng had already taken off and followed Li Tai to Jingzhou, and Li Tai felt that a number of Hui took care of him, so he persuaded a number of Feng to refuse the matter at that time. Although it is said that after getting married, the sisters of several phoenixes can barely mix the name of the queen, but compared with a lonely life, this flashy vanity is really nothing.

Even if you don't consider the influence of some of your own connections, under Li Tai's care, the little lady doesn't have to worry about having no good match to choose from, at least she can avoid the impact of the change of dynasty and personnel disputes on her fate.

This marriage failed, and now the princess of Yuan Kuo has been replaced by the daughter of Yu Wentai's cousin Wang Mao.

Now this princess is also standing behind the gate to greet Li Tai under the arrangement of King Qi, it can be seen that King Qi also knows that the fact that he is going to ascend the throne is by no means a good thing, so he is not

did not get carried away with joy, but both husband and wife showed enough respect for Li Tai, the general of the town.

When Li Tai learned of this, he hurriedly led his subordinates to return the salute to the princess outside the gate, and when he caught a glimpse of a number of phoenixes following behind him in a daze, he couldn't help but be happy. When you can't become a relative of the emperor, I don't know if this kid is disappointed or not.

When Li Tai arrived, all the forbidden troops stationed in the Qi Palace's palace withdrew. In addition to Li Tai and his subordinates, there was also a Chinese and foreign government officer named Xin Yanzhi who temporarily lived here, responsible for teaching the King of Qi various etiquette after the enthronement ceremony.

Li Tai occasionally watched King Qi study various etiquette carefully outside the middle hall, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of thing of controlling the king and doing abolition was originally the most rude thing in feudal society, but it turned out to be packaged with many etiquettes, which was really a bit of black humor.

It's just that I don't know if when Yuwentai sent the ceremonial officer to teach the etiquette of King Qi, did he think that his children and grandchildren would also suffer this in the future?

He was thinking here that Yuwen Hu would also be sent here soon, and on the day of the abolition, he would be responsible for leading King Qi into the palace. The two exchanged a few brief pleasantries outside the porch, and then stopped talking.

Li Tai turned around and went to another place for a short inspection, and when he returned, he found that Yuwen Hu was still standing in place, and his posture had not even changed much, and his eyes were directly looking at Qi Wang Yuankuo, who was learning etiquette in the hall, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai couldn't help but be stunned, is this scene so beautiful? Or maybe the dragon slayer's bloodline is beginning to awaken at this time?

In the early morning of two days later, when Taishi Yuwentai led a group of important ministers of the Pillar State and the Yuan Wei clan to the Zongmiao to cry and inform the Wei clan of the decision to abolish the emperor, the leading general Wei Chi Gang also led the elite of the forbidden army into the inner garden of the palace.

At this time, the night is extremely deep, the entire imperial city is shrouded in night, only the inner garden palace where the emperor Yuanqin lives is brightly lit, and there are many palace eunuchs inside and outside the palace to clean up the utensils, and the scene is very messy.

The angry roars and the screams of women in the palace added a bit of irritability to the chaotic environment.

When Yu Chi Gang led all the armor guards to arrive here, the originally noisy environment suddenly became silent, seeing that the palace had not yet been cleaned up, Yu Chi Gang suddenly frowned, looked at an inner chamberlain and scolded angrily in a low voice: "The order has already been conveyed here, why are you still acting so casually!"

The chief attendant hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, slaves are not allowed to clean up the palace utensils, and those who dare to move them without permission will be severely punished......

After hearing this, Wei Chigang's face sank again, and he raised his hand and pointed to the scattered utensils and ordered: "Since you are not allowed to clean up, then don't clean it up again, throw them all out, don't miss the time!"

When the entourage sergeants rudely threw out those utensils before entering, Wei Chi Gang signaled a car with a green cloth curtain to drive to the front of the palace, and he stood outside the hall and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the hour is coming, and the minister is ordered to ask Your Majesty to board the car and leave the palace!"

There was silence in the palace for a moment, but soon there was a crackling noise, mixed with the emperor's angry roar: "I am the Son of Heaven, when I live in Chenju, who dares to drive me out of the palace? Who dares to offend the Son of Heaven!"

The palace was full of messy artifact fragments, and Emperor Yuanqin stood in the debris with his hair scattered and unkempt, still holding a long sword in his hand, his bloodshot eyes were open angrily, and the whole person revealed a color of madness that could not be concealed.

The other palace people in the room were far away in the corner, and the only woman in a plain skirt was kneeling not far from the emperor's feet with a dejected expression, it was the Empress Yuwen, whose voice had become quite hoarse, and hissed while worshipping: "Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself, please put down the blade......

"Shut up! Thou art full of criminals, and you want to take my world, and I hate to kill all the black otters, and I will not be fooled by you thief again!"

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became even more furious, and swung his sword and slashed at the queen, but when he was about to reach his body, he saw that the queen just looked at him with a stunned face, and did nothing to dodge, he retracted his sword and said angrily, "Why don't the thief women hide? It's you

Also think I don't dare to kill you? Don't you dare to kill your father?"

"A concubine is a sinner, full of evil blood, but her loyalty surpasses human morality! If you want your concubine to die, how dare your concubine give birth?"

With tears on his face, Yuwen looked up at the emperor and said sadly.

When the emperor heard this, his body trembled again, and after a moment he laughed again: "I am not a single husband, the black otter is a traitor who violates the heavens and the way!" The queen knows me, the queen understands me, in vain I have the ambition of Zhongxing, and I hate to destroy the thief! If it weren't for the ancestors' self-abandonment of power and inability to keep their karma, how could I be subject to thieves today?"

At this time, Wei Chi Gang, who had been outside the hall for a long time and had not seen him, had already walked in impatiently, and after hearing the emperor's words, he immediately sneered: "The national industry of Guanxi was created by the first emperor and the virtuous ministers of the Taishi Communists, and those who cannot keep the business are Your Majesty, Your Majesty abandoned the family and the country, disregarded the wishes of the people, and was finally abandoned by the heavens, what is to blame!"

When the emperor heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to fight back, but the queen, who was originally sad and weak, suddenly got up, glared at Wei Chigang and scolded: "You are just a slave of my family, how dare you insult the king!" The Yuwen family is just a family of soldiers, if it weren't for the emperor's relatives, how could there be today's Weihe? My father was deceived by you and other greedy slaves, so he dared to do this!"

Wei Chi Gang dared to disobey the dying emperor in person, but when facing this cousin who was full of voice, he didn't know how to deal with it, and he was silent for a moment before bowing his head and saying, "The queen, please calm your anger, the duty of the minister is not to be offended. Before the Taishi left, he ordered the ministers to ensure the safety of His Majesty and the queen, and the Yongzhou Prefecture Mansion did not build a mansion, which was gorgeous and comfortable, and it was better than the imperial city. This matter is now a foregone conclusion, and if Your Majesty is stubborn, it will be difficult to change the common resolution of all the princes of the court, and it will only be humiliating yourself!"

When the emperor heard this, his face became even more angry, and the empress also became excited, and even picked up the sword that the emperor fell to the ground and stabbed it directly at Wei Chigang, and scolded loudly: "The dog thief is fierce, if he doesn't die today, he will bring disaster to my family in the coming year!"

Yu Chigang was also a little annoyed at this time, watching the queen stab with her sword, sideways to avoid the blade, raised her hand and cut it on the queen's wrist, and after knocking the sword in her hand down, he raised his hand to clasp the queen's shoulder so that she could not move.

"The thief let go of my wife!"

After the emperor saw this scene, his red eyes suddenly widened, and he swung his fist and smashed straight into Wei Chigang's face.

But Wei Chi Gang is also a battle-hardened brave general, how could he be afraid of the emperor's fist embroidered legs, did not wait for the fist to attack the face, raised his leg and kicked the emperor to the ground, grabbed the queen with one hand, but stepped on the emperor's waist with one foot, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a strange smile.

"When the time comes, please let the two nobles out and board the car, don't be rude!"

With the arrival of the appointed hour, presumably Yuwen Taishi has also announced the news of the abolition of the emperor in the temple, so Wei Chigang no longer calls the emperor His Majesty, but it is inconvenient to humiliate him directly, retracts his hands and feet and retreats to the door, raises his hand to summon the entourage soldiers into the palace, and sends the couple out of the palace with a frame.

When all the people in the palace withdrew, Wei Chigang did not leave in a hurry, but walked slowly to the place where the emperor was kicked down and lying on his stomach just now, raised his legs and stomped on the ground a few times, and sneered disdainfully in his mouth: "Son of heaven? The Son of Heaven under his feet!"
