Urgent! Li Zhen was really anxious, just because he thought of a possibility - Hou Junji's support was not the prince at all, but someone else, although he couldn't guess who the person behind Hou Junji was for a while, but he was sure that that person must be from the royal family, and then thought of the huge number of lost blades in the arsenal case and the fourth force that mysteriously appeared when the post station assassinated Pei Yan, Li Zhen was really anxious, and desperately rode forward, rushing all the way to Chang'an City, regardless of whether the troops behind him could catch up, ignoring the shouting of pedestrians on the street, just caring about letting go of the horses and rushing wildly, until he saw the majestic Taiji Palace from a distance, Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and ignored the officers and soldiers of Yulin who came to curry favor, got off the horse, and ran straight to the Ganlu Palace.

"Your Highness, the Holy One is deliberating, please stop." Li Zhen had just walked to the front of the Ganlu Hall and was about to walk up the steps of the main hall, but he saw that Hu Youde, the inner chamberlain, was leading a group of small eunuchs to block the way, and said something without a smile.

Day, damn old gelding! As soon as Li Zhen saw Hu Youde come out, although she was angry and anxious, she was helpless, so she had to stop, forced herself to squeeze out a smile and said: "Father-in-law Hu, Xiao Wang is on an errand, and he has come to pay the order, and he asks his father-in-law to report on his behalf." ”

Li Zhen had already spoken very politely, but he didn't think that Hu Youde was indifferent at all, he just stood there and said with a smirk: "Your Highness, forgive me, Your Majesty has a will, and no one will see it before the matter is finished." ”

Procedure? Damn, it's all burning eyebrows, and the old man is still talking about what the fuck is going on! Li Zhen's heart was on fire, how could she pay so much attention, waved her big hand, and shouted: "Get out!" He lifted Hu Youde and the others aside, raised his feet and rushed to the steps.

"Someone, stop him!" Hu Youde didn't expect Li Zhen to forcibly break into the Ganlu Hall in spite of the holy decree, and was caught off guard by a big heel, and suddenly his face turned blue with anger, and he jumped up and roared angrily, and the door of the Ganlu Hall suddenly became a mess, and the little eunuchs roared and screamed together, making a lot of noise, but no one dared to rush forward to block Li Zhen, without him, Li Zhen's brave name was known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty, at this time Li Zhen was already furious, who dared to stand in his way, his own life was important, right? Not only did the little eunuchs dare not block Li Zhen's way, but even the dozen or so Yulin Army warriors who were on duty outside the Ganlu Hall were also busy dodging to both sides.

"Your Highness, please stay!" At the moment when Li Zhen was about to break into the main hall, a figure suddenly flashed out, blocking Li Zhen's way.

Oh, what a quick move! Li Zhen's heart froze, stood still, looked at it, and already recognized the comer, it was the most skillful figure who appeared next to the old man when Li Zhen and the eldest grandson Chengliang fought for Pei Yan, although Li Zhen didn't know the details of this person, but he knew that this person's martial arts were amazingly high, not easy to match, and he was so anxious, but he could only stop and look at the person who came vigilantly: "This king has something important to do and must face the saint immediately, Your Excellency, please get out of the way, so as not to make a mistake!" ”

The person who came was white-haired and white-bearded, looked not young, but his complexion was very ruddy, his eyes were even brighter, and he was dressed in a moon-white robe, neither a eunuch's uniform nor a Yulin army uniform, although he was not burly, but standing there was Yue Liyuanzhi, a sect of grandmasters, seeing that Li Zhen was not good, but he was not angry, but he said lightly: "Your Highness Shao'an is not impatient, the Holy Lord has an order, in this extraordinary period, no one is allowed to disturb, please forgive Your Highness." ”

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, with Li Zhen's eyes, he could see that the person in front of him had extremely high martial arts, and he might not be under him, if it was a weekday, Li Zhen might have a heart of friendship and learn from each other, but at this time, Li Zhen was worried about the situation in Beijing, how could he be in the mood to play with martial arts to meet friends, seeing that this person refused to give way, he snorted coldly and said: "Get out!" As soon as he turned his palm, he was about to break in, but at this moment, the old man's voice came out of the hall: "Wuyin, let him in!" ”

Enlightenment? Well, how does that name sound like a monk's name? Could it be that this old boy is really a Shaolin bald donkey? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and it could be seen that the old man got out of the way, but he didn't think much about it, nodded to the other party, said hello, flicked his sleeves, and strode into the manna hall.

There are not many people in the spacious manna hall, except for the old man, only Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Daozong, Cheng Yanjin and other four people, all surrounded by a large sand table placed in the center of the hall, it seems that the military is being discussed, Li Zhen did not dare to take a closer look, hurriedly strode forward, knelt on the ground, and reported loudly: "The son knocked on his father, the son was incompetent, failed to catch the anti-thief Hou Junji, please punish the father." ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin didn't seem to be strange at all, snorted expressionlessly, looked at Li Zhen and said, "You are so anxious to see me, just for this matter?" ”

Well? No, the old man seems to have known that Hou Junji had escaped, damn, then he sent Lao Tzu to get people, play with some demon moths, and play monkeys! Li Zhen is a shrewd person, as soon as he saw the old man's expression, he saw some clues, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, but in front of the old man, he didn't dare to attack, so he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, kowtowed, took the opportunity to adjust his mentality, and respectfully reported: "When the emperor and the sons rushed to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was empty, and more than a thousand mouths were all gone, only more than a dozen corpses were found in the Hou Mansion, and in addition, the tenants of the Hou Mansion did not move, according to investigation, The old and young of the Hou family fled from the tunnel, and the sons thought that there was something strange in it, and Hou Junji was afraid that he would rebel, and it should not be the prince, but another person, the matter was important, and the sons did not dare to delay, and they rushed to return the letter, if there was a faux pas, please also ask the father Emperor Haihan. ”

Although Li Zhen's words were speculative, they were really amazing, but Li Shimin was not moved, he just nodded flatly, glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, waved his hand and said, "Just be even." After a pause, he pointed to the sand table and asked with a casual look: "In Yi'er's opinion, what is the intention of the thief?" ”

Chang'an city defense? Hey, it seems that the old man has already counted it in his heart, damn, it hurts Lao Tzu to worry for a long time, and it is a blind man who lights the lamp in vain. Li Zhen glanced at the sand table, and immediately recognized that this sand table was the model of Chang'an City, and his heart suddenly became clear, but he didn't break it, got up, walked to the sand table, pointed to the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace on the sand table, and said: "Father, the son of the minister thought that the Hou thief must be coming for the Xuanwu Gate, and its purpose was to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"Why?" Li Shimin's face was still flat, but a hint of relief quickly flashed in his eyes, glanced at Li Zhen, and asked lightly.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, Chang'an City originally had more than 25,000 people in the Northern Ya Army, and the Southern Ya Army was under the jurisdiction of more than 108,000 people, but the main force of the Southern Ya Army was currently going to Qizhou with General Li Ji, and the remaining 40,000 Southern Ya Army was transferred to Qizhou 10,000 people, and then counting the 20,000 of them The time limit for taking turns has arrived, and they have left the Beijing Division a few days ago, and now there are only less than 10,000 left in the South Ya Army of the Beijing Division, deducting the officers and soldiers who defend the city and the camp, the number of the Southern Ya Army that can be used is less than 3,000, and according to the regulations of the Southern Ya Army, it will take a few days for the last government soldiers to arrive in Beijing, Even if the 10,000 horses of General Xue Wanche of Qizhou have set off from Qizhou, they will have to arrive in Beijing at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and the defense of the capital is already empty to the extreme, if there is a disturbance in the city, it must be to take care of one or the other, and be at a loss, Hou Lao Thief has been planning for a long time, I am afraid that he is waiting for this gap, and furthermore, considering that there are still Hou Lao Thief's people in the city, there may not be no possibility of success in one fell swoop, if it is waiting for General Xue Wanche's army to come back, the difficulty of its success will increase dramatically, so Erchen thinks that tonight will be the key. Li Zhen said this, paused, peeked at the old man's face, and continued: "Father, the Xuanwu Gate has a bird's-eye view of the inner court, and it is also the location of the headquarters of the Yulin Army. ”

Li Zhen is a squire of the military department, since he is very familiar with the defense of the Beijing Division, he spoke freely, and elaborated on the military configuration in the Beijing Division, although he has not commented on the strength of the Northern Ya Army, but it clearly shows that he looks down on the Northern Ya Army, this article cannot be hidden from everyone present, of course, the more than 20,000 Yulin Army who have not achieved enough things and more than enough to lose, everyone knows what is going on, and they can be ignored at all. Only more than 3,000 Nanya troops and more than 3,000 Longzhou soldiers who have just been transferred to the imperial city can be used by the huge Beijing division, so it is not easy for such a few people to stick to the palace, let alone go to the city to search for Hou Junji's men and horses, moreover, who Hou Junji's inner should be is still unknown, God knows what hole cards are still in the hands of those internal Ying, once the chaos arises, the situation may not be able to control Li Shimin's hands.

In fact, before Li Zhen broke into the hall, what everyone was discussing was this matter, but they had not yet discussed a result, at this time, listening to Li Zhen's words, although everyone present did not make a sound, but they all showed a deep expression, after a long period of silence, Cheng Yanjin took the lead and couldn't help but speak: "Saint, a certain general is willing to lead the troops to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and he will not let the thief go!" ”

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Cheng Yanjin's words, just frowned and looked at Li Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, in your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?" ”

Old man, old man, at this time, you still can't trust us, hey, you are always called Li Daozong, Cheng Yanjin, the two great futures, it's not clear that you want these two to guard the palace, no matter how much we fight, you can't hand over the responsibility of guarding the palace to us at this time, so why bother asking! Although Li Zhen had already seen the old man's intentions, he didn't dare to break it, pretending to be contemplative, and thought about it: "Father, the son thinks that the palace must not be lost, especially when the Hou Lao thief is very likely to be a member of the royal family, and he can't let the Hou Lao thief attack the palace, so the palace guarded by Li Shangshu and Cheng Lao General can ensure that it is correct. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he looked at Li Zhen silently for a while, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will hand over the 1,000 men and horses today to the commander of Yuer, and go down to prepare." ”

Hey, the old man still can't rest assured after all, the thousand garbage soldiers said that it was to strengthen Lao Tzu, it is better to say that they are here to monitor Lao Tzu, cut, if Lao Tzu really wants to take advantage of the chaos, then a thousand garbage soldiers are not enough for Lao Tzu to stuff his teeth. As soon as Li Zhen heard the old man's eviction order, he immediately guessed the old man's distrust, but he didn't dare to say anything, knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, answered loudly, and withdrew from the hall.

"Holy Lord, although His Royal Highness King Yue is brave, it seems that there are too few people to bring a thousand men and horses." After Li Zhen withdrew from the main hall, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.

The eldest grandson Wuji's words are obviously for Li Zhen, but in fact he is saying the opposite, which means to remind Li Shimin - Li Zhen is a brave man, with many subordinates, how can a thousand Lin troops can watch Li Zhen, if Li Zhen has the intention to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, I am afraid that the situation will inevitably get out of control. Although the eldest grandson Wuji's words were vague, everyone present was human spirits, how could they not hear the meaning, but considering the contradiction between Li Zhen and the eldest grandson Wuji, no one came forward to say for Li Zhen, even Cheng Yanjin, who had a good relationship with Li Zhen, only moved his mouth, but never made a sound. Li Shimin didn't have a connection, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, his face changed uncertainly, and after pondering for a while, he sighed and said: "That's it, it's better to listen to the will of heaven, I have my own opinions, I don't need to mention this matter again, let's talk about tonight's arrangements." Now that Li Shimin has opened the golden mouth, everyone no longer talks about this matter, and they discuss it again around the sand table......

Li Zhen is rich, the Yue Wangfu is splendidly arranged, but because of the system, the area of the palace is not larger than other brothers, originally more than 2,000 people in the whole mansion live in a relaxed manner, but there are an additional 1,000 old soldiers of the forest army, the whole mansion is immediately crowded a lot, partial to the old soldiers of the old soldiers are not good at fighting, but enjoy it one by one, although in front of Li Zhen dare not be too presumptuous, but there are still a lot of complaints, but Li Zhen has something in his heart at this time, How could he have the strength to pay attention to the gang of garbage, and after handing over this gang of Ziyu Linjun to the housekeeper Liu Dequan to take care of, he hurried to the study in the backyard.

"Your Highness."

"Lord Wang."

Mo Li and Na Long, the two strategists who had been waiting in the study for a long time, saw Li Zhen leading Yan 18 and Chen Liang into a hurry, and hurriedly got up to give Li Zhen a salute.

"Sir, please be seated." Li Zhen nodded, returned the salute, strode to the top and sat down, stabilized his mind, and described in detail the various situations after today's face to the saint, and finally asked: "Two gentlemen, this is the case, and at this time, what should I do, and ask the two gentlemen to plan one or two for this king." ”

Na Long is in charge of the "Rising Sun", and he has the source of information, so he opened his mouth first: "Your Highness, there is news from Gyeonggi, all the palaces in Beijing are now on alert, and it seems that they have all received the news, but it is not yet possible to determine who the person behind the Ming Hou Junji is, and in addition, His Royal Highness the King of Shu came to visit His Royal Highness in the morning, but he came and went in a hurry, and he did not stay for a long time, only said that he would come again in the afternoon, saying that he had something important to tell." ”

Sixth? Damn, could it be that the person behind Hou Junji is the sixth child? It's impossible, how can characters like the sixth be able to control the old monkey, unless the old monkey plans to use the old six as a disguise, but with the treacherous nature of the old six, I'm afraid that it may not be used by the old monkey, well, maybe there is an article here. Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while: "Two gentlemen, will the sixth guy get involved with the old monkey, if so, I have to guard against it." ”

"It's possible." Na Long frowned and did not say: "Your Royal Highness, now the situation in Chang'an City is weird, all forces are ready to move, things are just afraid that they can't be speculated according to common sense, I think that even if His Royal Highness the King of Shu has something to do with Hou Junji, it will definitely not be Hou Junji's ultimate reliance, the reason is very simple, His Royal Highness the King of Shu does not have much power in his hands, and does not have the qualifications to cooperate with Hou Junji on an equal footing, Hou Junji dares to rebel at this time, in addition to seeing the air defense of Chang'an City, there must be other reliance, although His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a prince, but there is no power, In addition, if the son seeks the father, the name is not right, even if he takes the palace, he may not be able to edict the world, according to a certain opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is at most just a pawn, but it will definitely not be Hou Junji's ultimate reliance! ”

"What Brother Na said is very true." Mo Li said: "Although the throne today also depends on the mutiny, in terms of the power of the dragon diving today, as long as the palace is controlled, everything can be decided, but the king of Shu does not have such ability, looking at the princes in Beijing, the slightest possibility is actually only His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but even His Royal Highness the King of Wei is not qualified to raise the anti-flag, and now it is useless to guess these things, but how the prince behaves here is the main point." ”

"What Mr. Mo said is very true, no matter who is behind the ghost, there will definitely be something to do tonight, and now that time is pressing, this king intends to mobilize the people outside the city into the city to prepare for contingencies, so can it be done?" Li Zhen nodded and said.

"No!" As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Mo Li and Na Long shouted at the same time.

"Huh?" Li Zhen looked at the two strategists with a puzzled expression, and really didn't understand what to say about this move.

Na Long smiled bitterly and explained: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the Holy Lord sent this thousand soldiers and horses is not here to help His Highness, and now the defense of the Beijing Division is empty, if His Highness has the intention to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, even if the Holy Lord can withstand the strong attack of Hou Junji and others, he may not be able to prevent the attack of His Highness after hard fighting, how can this Holy Lord be countless in his heart, if His Highness does not move, it is good, once His Highness begins to mobilize people and horses, I am afraid that the first one to be taken by the Holy Lord is His Highness." ”

Li Zhen recalled the scene of today's face saint, and knew that what Na Long said was true, so he no longer insisted, nodded and said: "Okay, Chen Liang, pass the order, the pro-guard team will immediately enter the combat state, people do not take off their armor, horses do not take off their saddles, and you are going to inspect all parts of the city with this king." ”

"Yes." Chen Liang answered, and was about to go out, but saw the housekeeper Liu Dequan running over sweating, and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived." ”
