Chapter 573: Chen Yuanxuan enters Beijing
573.
Chen Yuanxuan entered Beijing
Although some generals were reluctant and wanted to rest for a while, they would definitely not be able to resist at this time, so they got up and gathered the soldiers according to their words.
Here, the Yixian army went to the direction of Jintai with a little luck for the rest of his life, Li Pojun also led the Shence army to Cangzhou with trembling legs, and the reinforcements of the imperial court here also rushed to Yizhou under the leadership of Chai Shao. The three parties were all marching in a hurry, only the non-stop fighting was only Wei Chigong and the Turks, Li Jing and Luo Yi were on both sides, and for a while, the war horses in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty neighed, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
Outside Chang'an City, dozens of horses escorted a carriage and hurried towards Qixiamen.
It was just dawn, and there was already a long queue outside the city gate waiting for the city gate to enter the city, and at this time, Chang'an City had a little style of being the first city in the world.
A few bells rang, and the heavy city gate creaked open under the joint efforts of dozens of city gate guards, and the long queue of people suddenly burst into an uproar.
Just as the city gate was about to make a noise to check, he heard only the neighing of war horses and the creaking of carriages.
After a while, they lined up the crowd and rushed to the city gate, and everyone dared to be angry when they saw it, could there be dozens of guards in armor and knives who could be ordinary people?
Coming to the city gate, the city gate man was about to frown and come forward to ask, the carriage was opened, and a scribe with his hair in a slightly disheveled bun and a few long beards on his chin was meticulous.
I saw that the scribe handed out a document and a waist card, and said with a cold face and arrogance: "I am Sima Chen Yuanxuan of Yi County, and I have an urgent military report and a saint, so let me go quickly."
Chengmenlang was shocked when he heard this, and he was busy taking a look, confirming that it was correct, and he was released, seeing that the carriage was hurrying towards the palace, Chengmenlang was also muttering in his heart, Yizhou, didn't you say that it was captured by the rebels......
Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin is angry at the moment, "Jieli, I will kill you." His voice was fierce, containing the anger of an emperor, and the ministers in the hall trembled when they heard it.
The important ministers who were trembling and kneeling in the hall were also angry, and there were stacks of letterheads scattered on the ground, looking at it intently, it turned out that the Turkic Jieli Khan cooperated with Li Ying and issued a letter to the world, saying that he Li Shimin was disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, how to kill his brother and force his father, how to get the wrong position, this is equivalent to tearing his face in public, or to expose his Li Shimin's scars thoroughly, this is Li Shimin's rebellion, how can he not be angry.
At this time, the ministers, including Li Shimin, were also glad that the prince had made a statement a few days ago that he had built the prince, otherwise the prestige of the court would have been more passive at this time.
Li Shimin was sitting sulking, and the hall, including the eldest grandson Wuji, did not dare to touch Li Shimin's moldy head at this time, and the scene couldn't help but freeze.
At this moment, the small yellow door outside hurriedly entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Shi Chen Yuanxuan, the governor of Yi outside the palace, asks to see you."
…………
Xiao Huangmen said, and suddenly the scene was weird, all the ministers raised their heads in disbelief, and Li Shimin also raised his head violently, with surprise in his eyes.
All the ministers are important ministers, and they all know that yesterday evening there was news that Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, rebelled and officially raised the anti-flag, and Sima Chen Yuanxuan recorded the matter of joining the army, Lu Asi and other Yizhou officials also responded, and became a righteous thief, and this Chen Yuanxuan is still the culprit who forced Yan Minghong to death, which is ...... How could Chen Yuanxuan still throw himself into the net and take the initiative to enter Beijing to face the saint.
Yizhou is not less than a thousand miles away from the capital, and it is difficult to transmit news, if the latest news is to reach the capital, it will take a day at the earliest, which is still the speed of Li Shimin's secret spy, so at this time, the imperial court only knows the news that Li Xiaochang announced the rebellion in the early hours of yesterday morning, and what he doesn't know is that only a few hours after the rebellion was announced, Chen Yuanxuan designed to cut off Li Xiaochang's head. As everyone knows, this rebellion, which has a very bad impact in the hearts of Li Shimin and others, is like a joke.
And knowing the news of the rebellion in Yizhou is only Li Shimin and this important minister, Li Shimin and others still wish that the news could not be spread, once it spreads, there will be a rebellion by the prince of the clan, which is not a little bit of a blow to the prestige of Li Shimin and the imperial court, so middle and lower class people such as Chengmenlang do not know the news of the rebellion of Li Xiaochang and others in Yizhou.
Li Shimin thought about it, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked directly: "What do you guess this Chen Yuanxuan means?" ”
Ministers, look at me, I see you Gu is shaking his head, and the eldest grandson Wuji also frowned and was puzzled, but simply said: "You might as well see it."
Li Shimin also nodded, waved his hand and said, "Xuan."
After a while, only a rush of footsteps was heard, and the ministers looked at it, only to see Chen Yuanxuan's hair messy, his face was full of dust and dirt and he looked very tired, and a round-necked robe also looked ruined, and he hurried in with a very delicate box at the moment, and when he saw Li Shimin, he ran over and knelt down from afar: "The criminal minister Yizhou Sima Chen Yuanxuan visited Your Majesty, woo, Your Majesty Wan'an, woo."
Chen Yuanxuan, a scribe in his forties, was actually weeping at the moment, crying tears, and with the down-and-out decoration, he looked very sad.
Li Shimin frowned, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Chen Yuanxuan without saying a word.
Li Shimin didn't speak, but Chen Yuanxuan was unambiguous, and bowed solemnly: "Woo, Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, seeing that the king of Yi'an is not a minister, the criminal minister is a subordinate official, he can't be dissuaded, and the guilty minister will die."
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said directly: "Chen Yuanxuan, Li Xiaochang is both opposed, and you also respond, why do you dare to come back now?" ”
Chen Yuanxuan heard Li Shimin's words, and he was not surprised but happy. Zhi said angrily: "Your Majesty, Li Xiaochang is disloyal and unfilial, has no king and no father, and the criminal minister will never respond to him, Your Majesty, Li Xiaochang is against the criminal minister and risked his life to find an opportunity to assassinate him, Li Xiaochang has been ambushed, his head is here, Your Majesty, please see." With that, he held the box above his head with both hands.
Li Shimin, including the ministers, was shocked when they heard this, and Li Shimin was not calm, and stretched out his hand and said, "Submit it."
Wang Jingzhong trembled and put the box on Li Shimin's desk, for fear that it would be a little more, but he understood that it should be filled with human heads.
The old eunuch Wang Jingzhong was afraid, Li Shimin, a battlefield general, would not be afraid, and he didn't know how many heads he had cut off. As soon as I took the box and opened it, I saw a foul smell coming to my face.
Li Shimin's eyes must be clear, a bloody human head in the box, his face is covered with blood, after a day and a night of stuffiness in this box, even if it is intense in late autumn, it has been slightly deformed and rotted.
But Li Shimin's eyes showed excitement, and then he pointed to the box and laughed, "Haha, thief, this is the end." After that, he pushed the box violently, and the box rolled down the desk, and a human head rolled down the steps and into the hall.
The ministers fixed their eyes and saw that it was Li Xiaochang, Li Xiaochang was not an ordinary person, but the prince of the clan, the history of the Yizhou Thorn, the eldest grandson Fang Du and other ministers recognized it, and this head was Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an.
