Entering the General's Mansion, Xuan Qi asked about the current form, and after listening to Xiong Hanqing's words, Xuan Qi couldn't help but lock his eyebrows. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Sheng personally led a large army and was confronting the Xiongnu; Li Xing was temporarily ordered to conquer the anti-king in various places, and now he is in Henan, and has already repelled the army of King Yu, and is now holding each other a hundred miles east of Luoyang; the armies of Bohai and Silla have approached Yingzhou; the army of Li Han, the king of Wu, has now captured Pengzhou, and the number of troops has exceeded 100,000; the 100,000 army of Li Min, the king of Hong, has arrived in Jiangcheng, and Li Su, the king of Han, has opened the city gate and welcomed Li Min into the city, and the two sides have a combined army of 170,000; Li Ding, the king of Yue, has occupied Dangtu, and the number of soldiers and horses has increased to 80,000.

What Xuan Qi feared finally happened, and even Li Su, the king of Han, was involved in the rebellious kings. In order to ensure the safety of the capital, Li Zhe has already issued the will of King Qin to various places, Li Cheng, the king of Fujian, Li Xian, the king of Gui, and Li Gan, the king of Shu, are all immovable, and only Li Chengye, the prince of Cheng, led an army of 100,000 troops, has arrived in the capital and fully taken over the defense of the capital. Li Gan, the king of Qi, temporarily sent 30,000 troops to Jizhou to assist in the attack of the combined forces of Bohai and Silla; Li Qing, the king of Xiang, forced Yuezhou with 50,000 troops, and the army of Li Min, the king of Yanfang, and Li Su, the king of Han, invaded Hunan.

Hearing so much news, especially the news that Prince Cheng Li Chengye had entered Beijing, Xuan Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't care about staying in Jiayuguan at the moment, so he immediately left Jiayuguan and traveled all the way to the east. Xuanqi let the horses gallop, and every time he arrived at a post station, he would change horses, and finally returned to the palace after ten days. Xia Chongxiao and his party really arrived at the palace, and the disciples of Blue Flame Valley directly arranged to live in the residence of Xuanmen.

Xuan Qi was anxious, but fortunately, nothing abnormal happened in the capital. 600,000 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp, of which 200,000 were taken away by Li Xing, after Li Zhe took back the military power of Li Hao, the king of Jin, he transferred 100,000 troops from Shanxi, plus the 100,000 army of Li Chengye, the prince of Cheng, to make up the number of 600,000 officers and soldiers in the military camp, led by Li Chengye, to maintain the defense of the capital.

When Li Zhe heard that Xuanqi had returned to the capital, he originally wanted to invite Xuanqi out of the mountain, but he was stopped by a group of ministers, saying that the former emperor Li Rui had decreed that Xuanqi should not enter the court as an official again. Li Zhe was quite helpless, and he could only stop there. Xuan Qi heard the news, but he was also noncommittal.

In the absence of Li Xing and Li Sheng, Xuan Qi summoned the old princess, Qin Yingying, Xia Chongxiao, Xia Xuejing, Xia Lingshuang, Yuqing, and Fan Ye, who did not travel with the army, to express their worries. After deliberation, everyone felt the need to take precautions to avoid accidents.

Everyone discussed how to prevent trouble, and Yuqing mentioned that he could send the family of the royal palace to Yunnan. First, the southwest region is the only region that has not been war-torn today; second, the Yunnan general Luo Lie is the son-in-law of the royal palace, and there is also the South Vietnamese general Qian Chaoxian stationed in South Vietnam behind him; and third, the mountains and forests of Yunnan are high, and there is no need to fear that the rebels will easily attack Yunnan.

Everyone thought that what Yuqing said was reasonable, and the old princess was also a reasonable person, so she immediately sent a letter to her two sons to explain the situation. At the same time, the palace also began to prepare for a long trip to avoid disaster.

At the beginning of July, except for the old princess, who was reluctant to leave the capital and Fan Ye volunteered to stay, the rest of the people were divided into two ways. One route was led by Xia Chongxiao, including Xia Xuejing, Xia Lingshuang, Yuqing, Qin Yingying, and Qin Yingying's beloved son Li Feng, Qiqi and Qingqing, who were escorted by hundreds of disciples from the Blue Flame Valley of the Tianshan Mountains, all the way to Yunnan;

As a result, the palace suddenly became deserted, and the old princess often sat quietly in the garden, sighing at the life and death of this life. Xuan Qi has persuaded him many times, but the old princess said that she is already eighty years old, and she is unwilling to leave the capital where she has lived for eighty years, and she is unwilling to even go to the Zhongnanshan Courtyard to live temporarily, so Xuan Qi has no choice but to give up.

On the third day of Xia Chongxiao's trip to Yunnan, a group of ministers learned that they couldn't help but be furious, thinking that the palace's move was tantamount to fleeing without a fight, insulting the prestige of the old prince Li Hu, and also setting a bad example for the officials and people in the capital. Li Zhe had no choice but to call Xuan Qi into the palace and question him in person.

"This is a family affair of my royal palace, and I don't know what it has to do with your lords? Do you also need your consent to visit relatives in Yunnan? It seems that there is no provision in the laws of the Celestial Empire that the royal family cannot leave Beijing? My uncle and father are both fighting on the front line, and your lords are not afraid of chilling the meritorious heroes by treating the families of meritorious heroes in this way? I advise all of you to sweep the snow in front of your own door and take care of the frost on the tiles of others, and if you have time, you might as well care more about national affairs and the soldiers and generals who are fighting on the front line, and don't be so excited about these trivial things here. ”

Xuan Qi's words made all the Wenchen not know how to answer for a while, and they didn't expect Xuan Qi, who was born in the rivers and lakes, to speak so sharply. The Wenchen thought for a long time, and when they were about to open their mouths to refute, Xuan Qi continued: "My lords, Li still has something unclear, I wonder if you can solve the trouble for Li?"

Before the ministers could speak, Xuan Qi had already opened his mouth and asked, "My lords, I don't know who is willing to stand up and take responsibility for the rebellion against the king in various parts of the Celestial Empire?"

"Li Ning, what do you mean?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Don't spew blood!"

Above the court, there was a noisy sound, which made Li Zhe, who was sitting on the dragon chair, very annoyed. Li Chengye, who stood at the top of the generals, did not say a word, and the generals of the Beijing camp behind him were unwilling to participate in it. Xuan Qi stood in place, stunned and waited for nearly a cup of tea before the ministers' voices calmed down slightly.

"Li wants to ask your lords, who is this suggestion to take back the military power of Li Hao, the king of Jin, from whom?"

All the ministers were stunned for a while, because this matter was the suggestion made by the ministers to Li Zhe in order to consolidate Li Zhe's imperial power, and this matter was the fuse that caused the kings to rebel.

"For the sake of the emperor, I don't want the kings to take advantage of the new emperor's first ascension to the throne and become bigger, I don't know what's wrong?"

Xuan Qi clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "When the emperor was alive, why didn't Lord Zhang bring it up?"

Prime Minister Zhang Chu was speechless for a while, in fact, when the former emperor Li Rui was alive, a group of ministers also proposed it, but Li Rui vetoed it on the spot, and the ministers knew Li Rui's temper, so they naturally did not dare to mention it again. Since Li Zhe ascended the throne, he has always revealed his thoughts on suppressing martial arts and promoting literature, which suddenly made the ministers excited. thinks that the Celestial Empire, which has always advocated martial arts first, has begun to change the direction of the wind, and he and others will be able to make great achievements, and from then on they will be above the generals.

So a group of civil servants, led by Zhang, discussed overnight and came up with a plan that they thought was appropriate, and then wrote to Li Zhe, asking Li Zhe to take back the military power of the vassal kings in various places. This matter naturally hit Li Zhe's mind, and he immediately took the always cautious Jin King Li Hao to attack. But he didn't expect that this move would attract the opposition of the vassal kings from all over the world, resulting in the current situation.
