Chapter 662: A Sleepless Night

Li Yongqi took two steps forward and said in a low voice.

"Because you're so stupid!"

Li Chengqian, a prince who is really not very smart in Li Yong's opinion, Li Er and Empress Changsun are both human spirits and don't know why Li Chengqian was born, Li Chengqian is really smart when he is smart, and he is really stupid when he is stupid. It's not that the first time Empress Changsun gave birth to a child was too tight...... Ahem, it seems a bit disrespectful to Li Er to think so...... Li Yong turned around and drove his horse to Xuanwu Gate, leaving Li Chengqian to stay there, his face turned purple, he felt that he was humiliated, although he failed in the mutiny, but he still felt that he was a hero with outstanding intelligence, courage and resourcefulness, but Li Yong said that he was too stupid! This is simply humiliating him, how can this be endured?

"Li Yong! You are presumptuous! Could it be that Li Tai's dead fat man is smart? Look at him, he looks like a pig, can he be a prince? Can you inherit the unification? ”

Li Chengqian looked like a crazy roar, thinking of Li Tai, Li Chengqian was very unwilling, the mutiny failed and failed, he admitted that the king was defeated, but when he thought that the crown prince's position was going to fall on Li Tai's body, he was very unwilling in his heart, he knew that this was the case, before coming to Xuanwu Gate, he should have gone to the Wei Palace's mansion to kill Li Tai, the palace gate of Xuanwu Gate suddenly opened, Li Yong and Chai Shao soldiers and horses walked in, everyone else stayed outside Xuanwu Gate, the palace lights were brilliant as day, Li Er has been standing quietly in front of the Ganlu Palace, He actually knows the situation in front of the Xuanwu Gate well, in his opinion, this mutiny is like a joke, the prince's artillery blew up by itself, the array of musketeers was in a mess, and the guns were fired indiscriminately, even if there was no Li Yong's musketeers, it was easy to defeat the prince's musket array, and this rebellion was so simple and smooth to put down, however, Li Er had no joy at all in his heart, but his mood was very heavy, and the original taste of being betrayed was uncomfortable, What's more, they were betrayed by the generals who had always been very trusted and the most important son, Chai Shao and Li Yong strode over, and Li Er, who was standing behind his back under the moonlight and lights, looked very desolate.

"Qiqi sage, the rebels have been defeated, most of the rebels have been killed, a small number of rebels have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, a few rebels have fled, the minister has sent cavalry to search along the road, the prince and Hou Junji, Hou Selei, Helan Chushi and others have been taken, and now they are being held in front of the Xuanwu Gate, please show the saint!"

Chai Shao hugged his fists.

"Si Chang, Li Yong, you two have worked hard!"

Li Er bowed slightly

"This is the duty of the minister!"

Chai Shao and Li Yong hurriedly said.

"Let's put them all in jail for now! I'm tired and the night is late, so you two can stay in the palace for the time being! ”

Li Er sighed, it was only two hours from the early dynasty, Li Yong and Chai Shao would not go back to the house to toss back and forth, saying that it was rest, I am afraid that this night, whether it is Li Er, Chai Shao or Li Yong, they are all sleepless, in fact, this night, it is inevitable to toss and turn, not to mention them, the major princes are not far from the palace, and the sound of artillery is so loud, half of Chang'an City can hear it clearly, maybe most of the people of Chang'an who are sleeping hear the roaring sound but think it is spring thunder, But how could those who had participated in the Crusade not be familiar with the sound of artillery? Cheng Yanjin, who was lying on the kang and falling asleep, suddenly sat up and shouted.

"Rush! Hurry up! ”

The Duchess next to her was startled and hurriedly said.

"The old man is sleepy? What are you rushing and killing, and the lord should still be fighting? ”

Cheng Yanjin jumped up from the kang and said loudly.

"No, no, I just heard the sound of artillery!"

The Duchess was speechless when she heard this.

"Master, that's the sound of spring thunder, what kind of artillery is it? This is in Chang'an, who will set off artillery in the middle of the night, don't die? ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head with a very solemn face.

"No, it's definitely the sound of artillery, I can't hear it wrong!"

"Someone, change my clothes and put on my armor! And gather all the soldiers and generals! ”

The Duchess was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Master, you, don't scare me, what's wrong?"

The maids held their clothes and carried the armored fish in, and Cheng Yanjin said in a deep voice while changing his clothes.

"Madame don't have to worry, just stay in the room with peace of mind."

Peace? How could she be at ease now, Duchess Guo hurriedly said.

"Someone can't be rebelling, right?"

In fact, Cheng Yanjin thought of this problem as soon as he woke up, because when he woke up, he not only heard the sound of artillery, but also felt that this silent night was a little noisy, Cheng Yanjin, who had fought all his life, was very familiar with this, Cheng Yanjin was very irritable, because he thought of a question, now everyone in Chang'an has artillery in his hand? Li Yong! Therefore, he immediately thought of a question, could it be Li Yong who was plotting rebellion? But he couldn't understand why Li Yong rebelled, it didn't make sense, the emperor and the empress were so good to Li Yong, and Li Yong and Princess Changle were very affectionate, Li Yong, this kid has always been very lazy, there is no reason to rebel! But the sound of this artillery can't be faked, Cheng Yanjin strode out of the back house with a horse lance in his hand, and a group of soldiers and generals in the front yard had already gathered together in armor.

"Grandpa!"

Cheng Biting Jin said in a deep voice.

"Did you hear that?"

"Back to Grandpa, I heard it, it seems to be the sound of artillery!"

They all participated in the Eastern Crusade with Guogong, and they were also very familiar with the sound of artillery, Cheng Yanjin nodded.

"It does sound like the sound of artillery, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion has not returned to Chang'an, how can there be the sound of artillery in the middle of the night? Wake up, everyone! ”

"Yes, Grandpa! Grandpa, do you want to send someone out to check it out? ”

Cheng Yanjin listened to the groan for a moment and nodded.

"It's good to send a few people out to check it out."

Not only Cheng Yanjin Armor Zhirui and his family soldiers and generals were waiting for him, but Zhang Shigui, Xu Shiji and other generals who had participated in the Eastern Expedition were also all ready to fight, although they guessed that someone mutinied, but they did not take the soldiers and generals out of the house, because they did not receive the will, so they did not dare to leave the house without permission at such a sensitive time. And they have confidence in today's saints, of course, what makes them a little relieved is that the artillery only sounded twice and did not sound again, they all thought silently in their hearts, this matter must not have anything to do with Li Yong, Chang'an City has already restored calm, hundreds of people are still asleep, but the defenders of the city gates are in good spirits, to be precise, they are nervous, although the city has returned to calm, but the previous movements are too scary, although I have not seen what happened in the palace with my own eyes, They can also imagine, after all, the change of Xuanwumen is not too long, especially everyone in Chang'an City knows, however, what makes them breathe a sigh of relief is that the sky is about to dawn, and they will know the result when the day dawns.

"General, there is the sound of horses' hooves!"

Zhang Quanzhao also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and he couldn't help but be shocked, how could there be the sound of horses' hooves at this time? The emperor had given him a secret decree before, but he only said that the Rongfu County Guild led the troops into the city to protect the palace ban, but now the Rongfu County Guild has already entered the city, but who is the person who is coming now? Isn't this embarrassing for me Zhang Quanzhao? Zhang Quanzhao's heart was raised, and the only thing that gave him some comfort was that there were not many people who listened to the sound of horses' hooves.

"There are only more than 100 riders, don't let the arrows go first, let them get close and ask clearly!"

Zhang Quanzhao said in a deep voice, and the soldiers agreed loudly, but Zhang Quanzhao was worried in his heart, no matter who came to him, he couldn't rest assured directly, but if he wanted to send someone to the palace to report, who knew what the situation in the palace was now?

"Who's coming? The gates are closed, so please wait until the door opens before entering the city! ”

Zhang Quanzhao shouted towards the city.

"Presumptuous, the queen wants to enter the city, why don't you open the city gate quickly!"

A eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, Zhang Quanzhao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, he never thought that the person who came turned out to be the queen's mother! The question is, didn't the queen go to Lishan Palace with Princess Changle? Why did you rush back to Chang'an late at night? And not even a phoenix? Zhang Quanzhao squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and found that half of the more than 100 horsemen under the city were dressed as women, and there were eunuchs accompanying him, which immediately made him believe that it was possible that the person who came was really the queen mother and stopped the queen mother outside the city? Send someone to the palace gate to report? There is no doubt that there was a palace mutiny in the imperial palace, was it the crown prince or the king of Wei who launched a mutiny? Zhang Quanzhao didn't know, but no matter what, the queen mother would always be the most noble woman in the world, and a few thoughts quickly turned in his heart, Zhang Quanzhao shouted.

"Why don't you open the city gate and welcome the queen into the city!"

The city gate opened suddenly, and Zhang Quanzhao was already bowing down and waiting at the city gate, but he was slightly tilting his head to face the firelight and peeking at it, it was really the queen mother who had returned! Although he had never seen the dignity of the queen's mother, but he saw a beautiful face like a fairy in the firelight, as glamorous as a peach and plum but graceful and luxurious, he was sure, that must be the queen's mother, in addition to the queen mother of the world, can she have such beauty and graceful bearing? Empress Changsun rode a horse with a maid and eunuch along the Vermilion Bird Avenue and went straight to Xuanwu Gate, she once went straight to Xuanwu Gate with the emperor with cavalry, her mind memories rolled, originally she thought that it was all in the past, the Tang Dynasty ushered in the prosperous era, and the past would be all buried, the front of the Xuanwu Gate was empty, only the flames on the Xuanwu Gate were burning, and there were archers with shadows, Empress Changsun lowered the speed of the horse, her face was very solemn, because she smelled blood, more than that, In the light of the fire, she saw patches of blood on the ground.

"When the queen goes back to the palace, why don't you open the palace door soon?"

The eunuch jumped forward and said sharply, Du Junhui has been guarding the Xuanwu Gate in person, and he saw the face of the queen mother clearly by the firelight, he was suddenly startled, the sage took great pains to send the queen mother to the Lishan Palace, why did the queen mother come back? I didn't dare to stop it, Du Junqiu hurriedly said.

"The minister doesn't know that the queen mother is back to the palace, so the minister will open the palace door!"

Hearing Du Junqiu's voice, Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that since Du Junsui was still in Xuanwu Gate, it meant that Xuanwu Gate had not been breached, although she was relieved in her heart, but Empress Changsun was not happy in her heart, the palace gate of Xuanwu Gate opened again, Empress Changsun urged the horse to enter the palace, Du Junsui was dressed in armor and bowed down to greet her.

"Welcome the queen back to the palace!"

Empress Changsun reined in her horse and asked.

"What about the saints?"

"The saint is unharmed, still in the Manna Temple!"

Du Jun said respectfully.

"What about the prince?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked very calmly.

"The crown prince has been imprisoned by the Duke of Qian Guo!"

Du Junsui hesitated for a moment and immediately said respectfully, they, the old ministers who followed the saint, know best how deep the relationship between the saint and the queen is, the saint is safe, and the prince is also unharmed, this seems to be the best result, the eldest grandson queen breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly, the prince is not dead now, but since ancient times, rebellion is a dead end, there is no other way and way, how can the prince survive? Although Empress Changsun also knew that Li Chengqian was rebellious, had no king and no father, and it was not a pity to die, but after all, it was her son, the lights in the manna hall were brilliant but silent, Li Er sat on the throne in a daze, and overnight he seemed to be ten years old, the little eunuch hurriedly walked into the main hall, Li Er raised his head with some displeasure when he heard the movement and glanced at the little eunuch who walked in, the little eunuch was excited by this gaze, and his heart was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his chest.

"What's the matter?"

Li Er asked coldly.

"Enlightened saint, the queen has returned to the palace!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, and Li Er was surprised.

"What? The queen has returned to the palace? How could the queen suddenly return to the palace? Where is the Queen? ”

"The queen mother has entered the Xuanwu Gate and is coming to the Ganlu Palace!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, Li Er quickly stood up when he heard it, and strode out, he was very worried, seeing that the queen must have known the news and rushed back overnight, at the beginning, the reason why he asked Li Yong to find a way to send the queen to Lishan Palace was that he was afraid that the queen would suddenly face the prince's rebellion, and she couldn't stand it, after all, the queen's body has not been good, if it wasn't for Li Yong's medicine in Jiucheng Palace last time, the consequences would ...... The queen's mood must be frightened and sad, and she hurried all night, and she didn't know if her body could stand it? If the queen is seriously ill because of this, then the prince will really die and cannot be redeemed.
