Xiangwangfu, an army of more than 2,000 people has been closely guarded by Li Duozuo, the general of the right guard, the situation is not good, everyone feels it, Li Dan is also worried, as a son, he is more worried about his mother's situation in the palace,

Just now, the eunuch in the palace rushed to announce the decree, saying that the saint was seriously ill and missed him very much, hoping that he could enter the palace to greet him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Dan sighed with his hand: "As a son of man, how can I sit back and watch my mother fall seriously ill and ignore it, and do unfilial acts in order to avoid trouble, even if I ascend the throne, I will be laughed at by the world, I still have to go to the palace to visit my mother." ”

Li Longji was anxious, "Why is my father so pedantic?"

"Shut up!"

Li Dan turned around and scolded angrily, "When your mother was killed by Wei Tuan'er, didn't you rush into the palace to save your mother? Why didn't you think about the danger at that time, your life was given by your parents, and seeing that your mother was seriously ill, maybe this was the last side, you dared to say that I was pedantic?"

Li Longji was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and at this time, Li Chengqi stepped forward and said: "It's better for the child to go into the palace for his father to visit his grandmother, if there is no problem in the palace, the child will let his father visit the palace again." ”

Li Dan thought about it, and he could only do this, so he instructed his son: "I ask General Li to send someone to escort you into the palace, you have to be careful, if you find that the situation is not right, you can withdraw immediately." ”

"The child understands, please rest assured father!"

Li Chengqi changed his clothes, wore fine armor, and under the escort of a hundred soldiers, he rode a carriage to the palace.

Li Chengqi was not hindered in any way, all the way into the palace, but his entourage also gradually decreased, this is also the palace rule, no one dared to bring more than 100 people to break into the Taichu Palace, that is the great crime of rebellion, when Li Chengqi came to the Palace of Eternal Life, there were only two of his entourage left.

Wu Yizong stepped forward to stop him, "Stop!"

Li Chengqi arched his hand and said unhurriedly: "I came to visit the emperor's grandmother, why did General Wu stop me?"

Wu Yizong said coldly: "The holy decree is to let His Royal Highness King Xiang come to see him, and he didn't let you come, you go back and let your father come to see you." ”

Li Chengqi was furious, "Wu Yizong, don't deceive people too much!"

At this moment, a little eunuch ran out of the palace and shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xuanshouchun has come in!"

Li Chengqi glared at Wu Yizong fiercely, and walked quickly towards the hall, Wu Yizong had no choice but to stop the two entourages and not allow them to follow.

Li Chengqi's arrival did disrupt the Zhang brothers' plans, just now, Zhang Yizhi changed his mind, since Li Chengqi came, he couldn't let him leave again, imprisoned him in the palace, and forced Li Dan to leave Beijing.

Li Chengqi walked into the Hall of Eternal Life quickly, at this time, Zhang Yizhi surrounded him with dozens of eunuchs, Li Chengqi said coldly: "I'm going to see the emperor's grandmother, get out of the way for me!"

"The saint has just fallen asleep, no one can disturb her, His Royal Highness will go to the side hall to wait first, and when the saint wakes up, he will naturally let you in. ”

Li Chengqi saw that the eunuchs around him were about to move, he turned around and ran, Zhang Yizhi shouted: "Catch him!"

Dozens of eunuchs rushed up and pushed Li Chengqi to the ground, Li Chengqi scolded, Zhang Yizhi snorted coldly, "Take him down and lock him up." ”

The eunuchs pushed Li Chengqi down, and at this time, Zhang Changzong stepped forward and said, "It seems that Li Dan is already prepared, do you want to drive him out of Beijing next?"

Zhang Yizhi said coldly: "His son is in my hands, so I will tell him clearly, either his son will die, or he will get out of the capital for me." ”。

In the lobby, Li Dan paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, anxiously waiting for his son to get news, although he was anxious to visit his mother's condition, but his son was also his heart, and he also didn't want anything to happen.

Li Longji stood aside, not daring to say anything, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with his father in his heart, indecisive, and too affectionate, how could this kind of character seize the throne and ascend the throne, knowing that the Zhang brothers controlled the palace, and they had to visit their mother, wasn't this sending him to death?

Li Longji lamented in his heart that the situation had reached this point, and his father could not launch a coup d'état, so he couldn't help but say: "Please ask your father to let the child go to Li Zhen, you can't hesitate any longer." ”

Li Dan turned his head and glared at him, "What are you looking for Li Zhen, are you trying to launch a coup d'état?"

"Yes!"

Li Longji gritted his teeth, "The further back we go, the more unfavorable the shape will be......

"You're thinking too simply. ”

Li Dan restrained the anger in his heart and said to his son: "Do you think I am not in a hurry? Now I don't know the situation of your imperial grandmother, if she is conscious, only a little uncomfortable, you will rashly launch a coup d'état, you know how serious the consequences are, as long as she stands up, the soldiers will immediately defect, do you think that everyone else is a fool, why didn't Wu Sansi launch a coup d'état, why didn't your imperial aunt launch a coup d'état, no one wants to be the first to come out, the first to come out is to rebel, and the back is to save the driver, do you understand?"

"But my father can kill Erzhang in the name of Qingjun's side, and welcome the emperor's grandmother to re-ascend the throne, at that time, my father was in power, and the imperial grandmother could only hand over the throne to my father. ”

"Although your idea is good, you don't have any preparations, the minister has no contact, the royal family has no strategy, and we don't have any army, so we can only rely on Li Zhen completely, do you know what Li Zhen's true identity is?"

Li Dan sighed, "He is actually a royal family, if he supports the army and stands on his own, the first person to kill us will be, besides, he has never promised to be loyal to us, maybe he supports your imperial aunt." ”

Li Longji was stunned, he never thought that Li Zhen's identity was still hidden behind the scenes, Li Dan shook his head and said: "Now we can only wait, wait for the situation to change, and then we can decide what we can do?"

Li Longji sighed secretly, lowered his head, lost the opportunity, and became more and more passive in the future.

At this time, a guard reported to the hall: "Your Highness, the holy decree has arrived!"

Li Dan hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and set up the incense case to welcome the order!"

In front of the lobby, Li Dan knelt in front of the incense case, and the eunuch Xia Zhong unfolded his will and said loudly: "Li Dan, the prime minister, has lived alone in a secluded mansion for several years, but he is gentle and obedient, loyal and filial piety and self-discipline, I am deeply gratified, and he is specially appointed as the pastor of the state, Taiyuan stayed, and the hussar general, set off immediately, and there is no need to enter the palace to thank you, Qin this!"

Li Dan's heart was half cold, and he put himself down and merged with the state at a critical time, this is not to give himself a chance to take the throne, he kowtowed three times, "Weichen obeys the order!"

As soon as Xia Zhong received the holy decree, handed it to Li Dan and said with a smile: "Zhang Shenwang has entered Beijing, and there is no one in Taiyuan, so the Holy Lord hopes that His Highness will set off immediately, not until tomorrow." ”

Li Dan took the holy decree and asked, "How is my mother?"

Xia Zhong said in a low voice: "The saint has aged dozens of years all of a sudden, her physical condition is not very good, she can't get out of bed and walk around, she can't be in good spirits, she sits on the bed and makes a decree." ”

Li Dan was suspicious in his heart, and he asked again: "My son has entered the palace, hasn't Manager Xia met it?"

Xia Zhong said earnestly: "His Royal Highness King Shouchun is indeed in the palace, but General Zhang hopes that he will stay in the palace for a few more days, if His Royal Highness leaves Beijing tonight, maybe your father and son will have a goodbye day." ”

Li Longji next to him was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhong's clothes, and shouted, "What do you want to do with my eldest brother?"

"San Lang, don't be rude!"

Li Dan scolded angrily, drank Li Longji, and said to Xia Zhong: "Please tell General Zhang, I will leave Beijing now, if the Zhang family wants to die well, please let them release my son within three days, otherwise I, Li Dan, will never spare the Zhang family!"

Xia Zhong laughed dryly, and hurriedly left the Xiangwang Mansion to return to the palace, Li Longji hurriedly said: "How can my father believe his words, this is a false holy decree, it is not the meaning of the imperial grandmother at all, the imperial grandmother must be terminally ill now." ”

"Enough!"

Li Dan drank his son and said coldly: "I know much better than you in my heart, it's okay, let them establish the Wu clan, I will raise troops in Taiyuan, and call on the people of the world to respond to the revival of Li Tang!"

He took out the golden arrow talisman from his bosom and handed it to Li Longji, "You quickly go to the various mountain villas in Hanoi, gather the 10,000 troops I have trained, and rush to Taiyuan to join me." ”

"But what about big brother?"

Li Dan sneered, "Forgive them for not daring to touch a single hair of my son!"

"Son, let's go!"

Li Longji took the talisman and led more than 100 people to leave Luoyang City first, rushing towards the north of the river.

Li Dan immediately simply packed his bags, took his wife and daughter, and went to Taiyuan under the escort of the general Li Duozuo and more than 1,000 soldiers.

Jiuzhi hugged his fists on the horse and said: "See His Royal Highness King Xiang!"

Li Dan smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is changing too quickly, it is too late to inform your general, please forgive me." ”

Jiuzhi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The situation in the palace is unknown, the general said that he can't leave for the time being, and he asked the humble post to send something to His Highness!"

Jiu Zhi took out the arrow and tiger talisman from his arms, and said to Li Dan: "There are 5,000 cavalry battalions and cavalry stationed in Taiyuan, and they can be mobilized with this arrow and tiger talisman, please put it away!"

Li Dan was overjoyed in his heart, with five thousand cavalry, he didn't have to worry, he was grateful for Li Zhen's support, took the arrow and tiger talisman, and said to Jiu Zhi: "Please tell your general that his great kindness is remembered by Li Dan." ”

Jiu Zhi retreated, and shouted to the five hundred cavalry: "You escort His Royal Highness to Taiyuan, and everything is under the command of His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, and there must be no mistakes!"

Five hundred people agreed in unison, "Obey!"

Li Dan nodded, although Li Zhen never promised to be loyal to him, it can also be seen that he is still a person who values love and righteousness, Li Dan is actually afraid that someone will do it to him halfway, and now there are five hundred cavalry guards, and he has completely let go of his heart.

In a forest in the distance, Li Zhen was guarded by hundreds of cavalry, watching Li Dan's convoy leave from a distance, his eyes were deep, but calm as water, for a long time, he turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction of the western camp, hundreds of cavalry followed closely, and it was not long before he was gone.
