Li Yuan felt a lot of pain in his heart all day today, and always felt that something would happen, so he went to bed very early, after Li Jiancheng came to Li Yuan's bedroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Father-in-law Wanyue saw Li Jiancheng coming. And he was wearing armor and carrying a large number of soldiers, and he was a little surprised in his heart:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has not summoned you, isn't your purpose in Princess Pingyang Zhao to guard the spirit of Princess Pingyang Zhao? How did you get here, still wearing armor and carrying soldiers. Li Jiancheng said to the waning moon:
"Father-in-law of the waning moon, please report to your father, there is something important in this palace to ask to see!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is a little unwell today, you are in such a hurry, is there anything wrong?" Li Jiancheng carried up the heads of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji and the corpses of Li Yuanba.
"Please tell my father, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, wanted to rebel and attack the palace, the fourth brother was killed on the spot by Li Shimin in order to save his son, and the third brother wanted to profit from the chaos, and died in the chaos......" Li Jiancheng had not finished speaking, Li Yuan said in a low voice:
"Get out."
"Father!"
"Get me out." Li Jiancheng knew that what Li Yuan needed now was calm, not persecution, Li Jiancheng turned around and walked out the door, and Di Zhixun, Di Renjie and his son, as well as Xiong Kuohai, Xu Kuoling, Xu Jingzong, Song Lingwen, Feng Yi and others around Li Jiancheng came to Li Jiancheng's side:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what did Your Majesty say?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan's bedroom.
"Let my father be quiet for a while!" At this time, the father-in-law of the waning moon ran over with a nervous expression.
"Father-in-law of the waning moon! Why are you so flustered! ā
"Your Royal Highness, Chang'an is in chaos now, just now Jing Zhaoyin and the defenders of the capital came to report that King Qin Tiance's Mansion is attacking the Prince's East Palace and the Qi Palace, and His Royal Highness King Zhao's Longxi Army is robbing everywhere in the name of counterinsurgency, and Pei Xiangguo, as well as two Shangshu servants - Chen Shuda and Lord Xiao Yu are here together."
"Oh! Pei Xiangguo, Lord Chen, and Lord Xiao came. Bring the three of them in. When Pei Lone, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu were brought in by Father-in-law Wanyue, Li Jiancheng found that Pei Lone, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu were dressed one after another like rags, covered with dust, and there were some scars on their faces. When Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu saw Li Jiancheng, they immediately ran to Li Jiancheng's side and cried like children meeting their long-lost parents.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are His Royal Highness the Prince, are you His Royal Highness the Prince?" Li Jiancheng blushed, because he was looked at and touched like this by three old men, as a man, Li Jiancheng looked at and touched three old men who could be his father and grandfather, and he didn't know how awkward it was. Li Jiancheng coughed, Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu realized that they were rude, and immediately stopped their movements in embarrassment. Pei Lin spoke first:
"Your Highness, the ministers are rude. Please don't be surprised, Your Highness! Li Jiancheng looked at Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu's depressed appearances, and felt strange in his heart.
"Three adults, what the hell is going on!?" Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu explained to Li Jiancheng in a gossipy manner, so that Li Jiancheng slowly understood what was going on. It turned out that Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin and others stormed Li Jiancheng's East Palace and Li Yuanji's Qi Palace. Li Jiancheng's Prince East Palace is well defended, and there are Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Feng Li and others are confronting the Tiance army of the Qin Palace, the Qi Palace, because Li Yuanji is not in the palace, Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche in the military camp outside the city to rectify the soldiers and horses, build barracks, mobilize materials, ready to help the King of Qi Li Yuanji command the army, crusade against the Turks, so the Qi Palace, was immediately breached, the Qi Palace's blood flowed into a river, the treasures in the entire Qi Palace, gold and silver were plundered by the Tiance Army under the command of the Qin King Li Shimin, and the entire Qi Palace's Mansion was in flames, Immediately afterwards, some of the Tiance troops of the Qin Wangfu tasted the sweetness, and began to attack the houses near the Qi Wangfu and the mansions of some officials, and then, the Longxi army under the command of King Zhao began to appear:
"Bold, he actually robbed people's property."
"Forget it! Isn't everyone working hard outside just for some money? Anyway, our King Qin is about to ascend the throne, you know each other and go to the side. It's none of your business! ā
"Bastard, King Qin is a fart, and our King Zhao is the real man."
"Bastard, it's our King Qin!"
"It's our King Zhao." Immediately afterwards, the Longxi Army under the command of Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, in the name of quelling the rebels, also did the same thing as the Tiance Army of the Qin Palace. The entire city of Chang'an fell into chaos. Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu came to Pei Lian's mansion together because they heard the news that Li Jiancheng was confined by Li Yuan to the cemetery of Princess Zhao in Pingyang.
"Pei Xiangguo, now that the Turkic army has appeared in the Huayin area, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been grounded by His Majesty, the situation has begun to be chaotic and complicated." Chen Shuda said to Pei Lin worriedly, Xiao Yu was a little optimistic:
"Brother Chen, the court situation is a little complicated, but this time, His Royal Highness King Qin didn't gain power?" Pei Lin bowed his head and was silent, Pei Lone, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu were drinking in Pei Lone's house, at this time, Pei Kuan ran over in a panic, and accidentally fell down, Pei Lone looked at it and said angrily:
"What's the hurry, didn't you see that the father was seeing a distinguished guest? What a faux pas! Pei Kuan explained to Pei Lin in a panic:
"Father, father, it's all mess up outside. It's all messed up. ā
"It's all messed up."
"Father, it's all chaos outside, many soldiers are robbing, and some rebels are attacking the residences of some low-level officials, and there are ......" Pei Kuan looked at Xiao Yu and didn't speak:
"What else? Say! Pei Lin yelled at Pei Kuan, Pei Kuan was frightened by Pei Lone, and immediately stopped his words and immediately said:
"Father, there is also the fact that the rebels are shouting everywhere that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi have rebelled and have been killed by the King of Qin."
"Light machine!" The cup in Xiao Yu's hand immediately fell to the ground and shattered.
"This, how is this good!? How can this be good!? Xiao Yu was very nervous, because Xiao Yu's niece Yang Yan was Li Jiancheng's side concubine, and Xiao Yu was still worried that through this relationship, she would see if she could help Yang Yan's son, Li Chengdao, to the position of prince. There is also a nervous person - Pei Kuan, although Pei Lin recognized Pei Kuan, but Pei Kuan knew in his heart that Pei Lone's importance to himself mainly came from the status of a subordinate official of the Prince's East Palace, if once his status as a subordinate of the Prince's East Palace was lost, would he still have a status in the Pei family? Pei Kuan didn't dare to imagine. Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Pei Kuan were all looking at Pei Lian. Pei Lin picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all.
"What else is the news!"
"There are still some rebels on the street who said that King Qin killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi to rebel and went to Renshou Palace to force the palace to the emperor, and His Royal Highness King Zhao was ordered to quell the rebellion and has killed His Royal Highness the King of Qin. In short, now the entire Chang'an City is full of gossip. Pei Lin put down the wine glass and instructed Pei Kuan:
"Pei Kuan'er! You stay in the house, tell your family, pick up arms, don't let the rebels attack in, Lord Chen, Lord Xiao, the old man is about to enter the palace to face the saint, escort, I don't know if the two adults are willing to go with him. ā
"Father, it's going on the streets right now!"
"It's none of your business!" Pei Lin glanced at Pei Kuanhun and said, and then glanced at Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda glanced at each other:
"Pei Xiangguo, the two of us are willing to face the saint and escort with the adults!" Pei Lian, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu rode in the same carriage, and through the curtains, Pei Lin saw that both sides of the road were full of chaotic soldiers who were slashing and robbing each other, chasing the voices of women and finances. Pei Lin looked at it, and his heart was depressed. confided in Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda:
"Two adults, now that there is a Turkic army outside the Huayin area, we should have clenched our fists and been ready to meet the enemy at any time, but now it has become like this, if it continues like this, I am afraid that our Li Tang will be in danger of losing the country." Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda nodded. Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
"What's going on!?" The coachman did not speak. Pei Lin opened the door curtain, only to see a bright steel knife shining under the illumination of the torches, flashing the eyes of Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda. And the coachman drove a bright steel knife around his neck.
"Who are you? Do you know whose carriage this is? ā
"Labor and management don't know who you are, and they don't want to know whose carriage it is. Labor and management only know that you are the big officials of the dynasty, and now this road has been bravely managed by us, and if you want to pass, you have to pay for the road! ā
"What? Buying road money!? Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda couldn't believe their ears, as the Zaifu of the Tang Dynasty, they went to Renshou Palace to see the emperor and even gave money to buy the road. Pei Lin was furious and directly reprimanded those sergeants:
"Bold, the old man is the first assistant of the dynasty, and the current prime minister - Pei Lian. Bae Hyun Zhen! How dare you ......" Suddenly, Pei Lin stopped his words, because the coachman's blood had already splashed on the faces of Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda. A steel knife had already pierced the coachman's body.
"Labor and management don't care what you are true or false, and if you dare to talk nonsense with labor and management, this is the end. Brothers, it seems that these three old things are the officials of the imperial court, and they must have money on them, so grab them! With the leader's order, the rebels present immediately rushed forward and snatched the jade accessories on Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, and even the jade belts that Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda tied their waists were torn off by the rebels. And probably because Pei Lian's voice was louder at that time, and he was punched a few times in the face. Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda finally picked up a life, stumbled to Renshou Palace, and saw Hou Junji, Liang Shidu, and Xue Renyue. Liang Shidu and Xue Renyue had never seen Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, and were about to scold Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda for leaving, Hou Junji often came and went to Chang'an and recognized Pei Lian.
"Master Pei, why did you become like this?"
"General Hou, what are you doing here? Now that the whole Chang'an is in chaos, please lead the troops to suppress it immediately! ā
"No! King Zhao faced the saint in Renshou Palace, and without the order of His Royal Highness King Zhao, he would not have been able to obey his fate. Pei Lin got permission from the gate guard of Renshou Palace and entered Renshou Palace. After Li Jiancheng listened to the narration of Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, he immediately had a bottom in his heart. Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda asked Li Jiancheng:
"Your Highness, now that the entire Chang'an is in chaos, please preside over the overall situation quickly." Li Jiancheng said to Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda:
"Three adults, now that my father doesn't make a will, this palace can't act without permission!" Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda seemed to understand what Li Jiancheng meant. Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda all nodded.
"Your Highness, we understand."
