Chapter 012: Assemble
Feng Li and his people were about to leave, and just went out to the Xuande Gate, when they heard the news, like all the troops, they cheered loudly and beat their horses to meet Li Yuanji. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Jiancheng died, they were like motherless children, they had the feeling of being abandoned by the world, and when they heard that King Qi was back, they once again had a backbone.
Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was covered in blood, his face was bruised, and his clothes were also tattered, and he was surrounded by dozens of soldiers.
Feng Li couldn't believe his eyes, King Qi was really not dead, and hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands: "King Qi, how did you run out?"
"Alas, gossip Huti, the matter is urgent, you quickly send your cronies to the mansion of Lonely, let all the guards of the Qi Palace, protect my family, and immediately gather at Anlimen, I want to see the crown princess and give me a horse!"
Feng Li hurriedly responded: "The crown princess is in Xuande Gate!"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Quick, gather all the soldiers, gallop to the aid of Anlimen, I have the help of General Ding, take the Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate, go quickly, we have to compete with Li Shimin for time! Don't wait for me!" After speaking, Li Yuanji strode towards Xuande Gate.
Feng Li hurriedly ordered two cronies to go to the Qi Palace's palace to send a message to transfer people, leaving a few horses, shouting, and running towards Anlimen with two Turkic generals, Dazhi and Geshu Jitong, and the remnants of more than 600 Changlin troops under him. He didn't know who General Ding was, how many people King Qi had arranged to guard Anlimen, the situation was critical, since Xuanwu Gate and Anlimen had been taken, they couldn't lose it again, and they dared to delay there, so they had to go to the defense immediately, and they would ask King Qi for details.
Inside the Xuande Gate, Zheng Guanyin heard the cheers of the soldiers and hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing Zheng Guanyin, Li Yuanji shouted: "Don't say more, Li Shimin killed the king, quickly go to Taiji Palace with Gu, this person has a wolf heart and dog lungs, he will come to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the East Palace can't stay!"
Zheng Guanyin was shocked, if Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng as she expected, then the murder of the monarch was really appalling, and even forgot the death of the heartbroken Jiancheng, and stared at Li Yuanji in a daze: "Shimin killed the monarch, is there any evidence?"
Li Yuanji had time to deal with them one by one, and shouted: "What evidence do you need, Li Shimin has already entered the center, go quickly, go quickly, it's too late!" Ignoring etiquette, he stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Guanyin, stuffed it into the carriage, and shouted to go, Li Yuanji brought the people, one of them hugged a prince, jumped on the horse, and drove the carriage away quickly.
Zheng Guanyin lifted the curtain of the car, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, she held back her grief and said to Li Yuanji: "King Qi, the prince's children are still young, and the palace is a woman, please also ask the king of Qi to be the master, protect everyone, the East Palace is below itself, and obey the order of the king of Qi!"
Li Yuanji bowed down and thanked him with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, the crown princess, but as long as there is a lonely breath, you will keep the East Palace safe!
Zheng Guanyin was looking at his forehead: "King Qi has worked hard!" put down the curtain, looked at the head of the car and wept secretly.
Li Yuanji clenched his fists and sighed, competing with Li Shimin, he was not sure.
Wang Qi joined the army for the consultation and the prince, and he was known for his resourcefulness, so he ran a few steps, and suddenly grabbed Li Yuanji: "This is not good, you need to notify the ministers, Li Shimin is in the center, whether it is true or not, we must mourn for the Son of Heaven, wear filial piety, sit on his charges, let his government orders and military orders not be accessible, and strive to be invincible!"
Li Yuanji motioned for the others to leave quickly, and pulled Wang Qi to stand aside: "How to do it?"
Wang Qi said: "Inform the ministers, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province are the key, these places must be notified, and then persuade the princes to give an order, order the twelve guards to return to their own camps, and not to go out of the camp, and order the old and steady military ministers such as Li Jing and others to inspect the streets, and prohibit travel during the day; order Qin Qiong and others, who are kind to the King of Qin, to go out of the city and station, stay away from the land of right and wrong, and reduce the responders of the King of Qin; order Chai Shaochai, who is kind to the prince, to surround the palace of the Qin king! Contact the forces of the prince's kindness. ā
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Chai Shao can't do it, the prince is dead, Chai Shao is likely to fall to the King of Qin, among the other guards, there are military horses and princes who are kind to each other, you watch and do it, this matter is handed over to you." ā
Wang Jue nodded and said: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, if the death of the prince can be kept secret, if others don't know, we can mobilize more power." Many people in the East Palace have been dispersed, and this matter is difficult to handle, so I will do my best! Do it as soon as possible for the funeral of the Son of Heaven!" Wang Qi took a few civil servants, rode on horses, bypassed the East Palace, surrounded the imperial city, and explained how everyone wanted to do things while running.
At this time, many of the prince's subordinate officials were not there, such as Wei Zheng and Wei Ting, who were both civil and military, and they were all working in front of the imperial city. There are also some cronies who have been sent by the prince to take power in various places, and they are not needed.
Li Yuanji ran to Zheng Guanyin's carriage in a few steps and asked Zheng Guanyin: "Is the prince's seal letter available?"
Zheng Guanyin took out a package from his side and handed it to Li Yuanji: "Take it with you in this palace, you can use it!"
After receiving the letter, Li Yuanji ordered Pei Longqian, Ma Sanbao and others: "You escort the crown princess and nephews to come over quickly, go and arrange it first, there are still many things to do!" After speaking, Li Yuanji rode his horse and ran forward, Li Chengdao chased after him, and shouted: "Fourth uncle wait for me!"
A large group of men hurried behind.
Li Yuanji didn't know what Ding Yi wanted the prince's seal to do, but this was Ding Yi's special explanation, of course he had to do it.
Xue Wanjun had just passed the Anli Gate not far away, ran into Feng Li, heard that the King of Qi was not dead, he was overjoyed, there was no need to run, he and Feng Li together, entered the Anli Gate, and ordered Da Zhi and Geshu Jitong to take the horses to rest, and the two of them strode up to the city tower.
At the entrance of the city ladder, the two sides met.
Ding Yi took Meng Guanyu and Bao Xuesong to receive the two at the city ladder, and before they could greet each other, Ding Yi ordered someone to bring a pile of white cloth cut into strips and send it to the two.
"The two generals, but the subordinates of the East Palace, time is pressing, I rushed to make some white cloths, let everyone wrap their heads, wrap their arms, and gird their waists, and mourn for the Son of Heaven and the Prince!"
"I dare to ask, but General Ding? I am Feng Li, he is Xue Wanjun, and the two of us are the commanders of the East Palace Changlin Army! I also want to thank General Ding for saving King Qi. Feng Li asked. Xue Wanjun took the strip of white cloth, tied it to his body as Ding Yi said, and ran to the city with the soldiers holding the strip of cloth, so that the whole army could be vegetarian.
"You're welcome, I have ordered the body of the prince to be carried into the city tower, I don't know where the head is?" Ding Yi responded with a fist.
"At the crown princess!" Feng Li replied as he entered the city tower under the leadership of Ding Yi, saluted the body of the crown prince, cut his face with a knife, and vowed to avenge the crown prince.
Ding Yi confessed to Feng Li: "General Feng, you first arrange for everyone to prepare their weapons and get ready, and there will be a fierce battle later, unite as one, and kill Li Shimin!"
