Luoyang.

The emperor, who returned to Luoyang City from Hebei, sighed after reading the emergency report.

"Go and invite Concubine Li Guifei to come, and then summon Tang Guogong to come, and also, summon Li Shimin and Chai Shao."

The chamberlain was a little surprised when he heard this will, and he didn't know what had happened, and the emperor actually wanted to gather this family.

Concubine Li Xiuning was the first to come, she was still holding a son and a daughter, holding a bulging belly, and the third child had been more than six months old.

Wu Wang Luo Zhewei was six years old, tiger-headed, and when he saw his father, he smiled and opened his hands and pounced.

Luo Cheng picked him up with a smile and raised it in the air, the child giggled.

"Your Majesty, don't scare King Wu." Li Xiuning took her three-year-old daughter, Princess Changping, and said.

The higher Luo Cheng tossed, the happier King Wu smiled, but he had a lot of fun, and he didn't look scared at all.

"Okay, take my sister to the side to play, my father and your mother have something to say."

Luo Cheng brought a piece of pastry to Zhewei and Princess Shuning of Changping and asked them to play aside.

Li Xiuning was a little surprised to see Luo Cheng like this.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to let the two children go aside?"

Luo Cheng took her hand, "There is a big thing to tell you, I was going to hide it from you first, but think about it, let's tell you, bad news, I hope you are mentally prepared." ”

"Is it a matter from Chang'an? About my father? ”

"Hmm."

The smile on Li Xiuning's face gradually disappeared, and when her father killed Heiye's son before, she was also shocked when this news reached Luoyang.

The emperor was originally besieging Dou Jiande in Hebei, and after hearing that Li Yuan had killed Siye's son, and Siye was also angry and summoned the Helong army to the east, he also hurried back to Luoyang from Hebei.

"Your Majesty, please say, I'm ready."

Luo Cheng sighed.

He also did not expect that the situation in Guanzhong would change like this, and the change was even greater than he expected. After all, in the initial strategy, it was north first, then south, east and then west.

The first Daibei defeated Jieli, and then went east to destroy Dou Jiande in Hebei, and then entered Guanping Li Yuan.

It's just that no one could have imagined that Li Yuan's act of death would make him lose so long in advance.

He couldn't have imagined that Heiye did not wait for his consent, nor did he need the slightest cooperation and support from the imperial court, and it took more than a month to fight from Xiaoguan to Chang'an, and captured Chang'an City in one fell swoop, and forced Li Xiaogong and others to capture Guanzhong.

"Let's wait until your brother and they arrive."

Li Xuanba and Li Shimin were successively edicted to enter the palace.

They thought something had happened to their pregnant sister Li Xiuning, but when they saw Li Xiuning sitting there well, they were puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Jiro Shiro and they have all arrived, please announce it."

Luo Cheng patted Xuanba on the shoulder, "The news just came from Chang'an, Heiye has broken through Chang'an City, your father Li Yuan refused to surrender and died by fire in Taiji Palace, and your brother Jiancheng Yuanji died in the war." Li Zhiyun, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang and several others also died in the chaos. ”

Silent.

Quiescence.

Long.

Li Xiuning finally held back her soft crying.

Li Xuanba stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

Li Shimin glared angrily at Luo Cheng, "Isn't it enough for you to take Chang'an, why don't you even let go of my father and brothers, Zhiyun Yuanchang and their children who are only a few years old, you don't let go, are you human?" ”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Shimin coldly.

"Take your finger away, first of all, I persuaded Li Yuan to join him several times, and I also gave him preferential treatment promises, but Li Yuan just wanted to resist stubbornly. He also gave you the wife of the heir as a concubine, insulting the heir and insulting me. Not to mention, he also killed the eldest son of Heiye, which is even more deceitful. ”

"I had already decided to send you and Li Shuliang and the others back to Guanzhong in exchange for their heirs' wives and daughters, but who would have thought that Li Yuan would be so unconscionable and commit such evil deeds. Even if the city is broken, he still has to drag his wife and daughter to burn to death together, such evil deeds, after the city is broken, kill his son to take revenge, I don't think there is anything wrong. It's Li Yuan who is wrong, not Heiye. ”

Li Shimin said angrily, "It's a lie, how could my father commit suicide, it must be that Luo Siye burned my father to death after breaking the city, and then killed my brother!" ”

"Think whatever you want, I called you here to tell you the news. You can keep a funeral for Li Yuan and bring filial piety, but in view of Li Yuan's madness, I will not give him any posthumous mourning. ”

Li Xiuning got up and bowed, "The concubine will retire first." ”

Luo Chengdao, "Don't think too much, take a good rest." ”

Li Shimin still glared at Luo Cheng, "Don't you do it yet, aren't your brothers going to kill our Li family, come on!" ”

Luo Cheng waved his hand in disgust, "You can step back." ”

Li Shimin still refused to leave, still roaring at the emperor, and several guards came in and dragged him out, who was still chattering.

Li Shuliang and the others also retreated with gloomy faces, before this, although they were prisoners, they still had a trace of illusions, hoping that Guanzhong Datang could show Luo Qin to contend with them, and hoped that there would still be a day to go back.

But now, it's all shattered.

The emperor died, and the Tang Dynasty fell.

Only Xuanba was still standing in the hall, standing dumbfounded.

Luo Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "Mourning!" ”

Xuanba smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Luo Cheng nodded.

Later, the emperor summoned the prime ministers to the Zichen Hall to discuss matters.

Wei Zheng arrived first, and after learning of the great changes in Guanzhong, he whispered to the emperor, "The ministers Guan Li Shimin is unruly, and it will be a scourge to keep it sooner or later, it is better to get rid of it, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and simply eradicate all the brothers, nieces, nieces and sons-in-law of Li Yuan such as Chai Shao, Li Shuliang, etc., and eliminate the future troubles forever." ”

That's a good piece of advice.

Today, Li Shimin's attitude is very bad.

But the emperor only thought about it like this, and finally shook his head.

"Could it be that I want to kill even Xuanba, even Concubine Li Guifei will die, and even King Wu and Princess Changping will not let go?"

Wei Zheng stopped talking.

"In this way, first deprive Li Shimin, Chai Shao and other Li Yuanzi's nieces and sons-in-law of all official titles, remove them from the people, and move to Liaodong outside the Guanxi to monitor and live, and observe for a period of time."

Wei Zheng nodded and praised, "This is good, it can not only reassure people's hearts, promote His Majesty's leniency, but also avoid hidden dangers." ”

The prime ministers arrived one after another.

After hearing the news of the capture of Chang'an and the capture of Guanzhong, they were all excited.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Guanzhong is established, the north is about to be pacified, and no one in the world can stop me from ruling the world."

Luo Cheng nodded.

"It's an accident that Heiye took Guanzhong, but it's an unexpected joy, now that Guanzhong is pacified, the imperial court can fully focus on pacifying Hebei. Ordered the generals of Hebei to prepare for the final decisive battle and destroy Xia! ”
