Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Nine: Going through fire and water

Pei Ji and Xiao Yu and his ministers rushed into Da'an Palace.

When Li Yuan heard that these old ministers came, he was filled with mixed feelings.

In fact, as the Supreme Emperor, Li Yuan had already taken power indifferently, but he missed these close ministers who were in his hands all the time. These people were his confidants. Li Yuan knew very well that he should not have too much contact with them, otherwise, they might be killed.

In short, they have not met for five or six years.

Over the past five or six years, whenever Li Yuan thinks of these people, he can't help but sigh and sigh.

The bad news about Li Shimin has actually been heard, and Li Yuan’s mind is very complicated.

He had many sons, but the most important three were two dead, and the other son who killed these two beloved sons and ascended the throne. This was a very complicated mood, so complicated that Li Yuan didn't even know whether he should cry or laugh at this time.

When the king and his ministers met, they hugged each other and cried. Li Yuan was old and missed many things in the past every day. He knew that he had not had much time and was almost under house arrest in this Da'an Palace. When people were old, they could not help but recall more. So, because they had no son and because they saw these old ministers, Li Yuan couldn't help but cry and came forward to hold Pei Ji and Xiao Yu, and said with tears in his eyes: "I thought it would be difficult to see this life, but I would never see you before I die. You... are old, I... are old too... are old..."

"Your Majesty..." Pei Ji couldn't help but choke.

Li Yuan was shocked: "Don't call him Your Majesty, I am the Supreme Emperor."

"Oh..." Xiao Yu stamped his feet: "Your Majesty, what are you doing when you have reached this point?"

Li Yuan suddenly stopped his tears. He realized something and his face changed: "What are you... going to do?"

"The matter is urgent." Pei Ji wiped his tears: "It's time that the country has no lord. Does Your Majesty hope that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed? Is Your Majesty still not understand the current situation? Your Majesty, the Turks suddenly surrounded the emperor. This is obviously a premeditation. Now, the emperor was robbed by the Hu people. The Turks must have a great influence. At this time, the prince is still young, who can take charge of the overall situation? Although Your Majesty is old, he is the father of the current emperor and the founding lord. Now the world is talking about it, and people with ulterior motives are ready to move. If Your Majesty cannot make the decision, wouldn't this mean to lay down the foundation of Your Majesty and give up someone?"

These words scared Li Yuan very much.

Li Yuan has become so cold that he has long since reached this age.

But Pei Ji's words are not unreasonable.

The emperor is gone, where is the prince? At this age, can the prince take on a great responsibility at this critical moment?

Xiao Yu was beside him, lowering his voice: "Changsun Wuji and others seemed to want to ask the prince to regent immediately. But... Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji is the prince's uncle, his legitimate sister, and the queen. In the future, he may even become the queen mother. In the end, he will be at the mercy of their Changsun family. Has Your Majesty forgotten the deeds of Empress Lu?"

After hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly calmed down, Empress Lu...

Seeing Li Yuan moving, Pei Ji said, "Let's not talk about the Changsun family, just those who killed the Prince Jiancheng outside Xuanwu Gate, these people... are all meritorious ministers, all of whom are of great meritorious power. When the emperor was there, they could still control them. How could they control them at this age of the prince? It would be fine if they were Huo Guang, but what if it was Cao Cao? Even Huo Guang, wouldn't he have deeds of deposing the emperor to the Marquis of Haihun? There are so many such things in these dynasties. The Tang Dynasty has only been stable for many years and has just settled. Now such a thing happened. At this time, does Your Majesty still want to live in the palace and regard himself as the emperor?

And will you abandon the people of the world? Even if Your Majesty can ignore the people, can the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, the brothers of Your Majesty, and the children and grandchildren also ignore them? At this time, the most important thing is to control the situation immediately, and you must not. As long as Your Majesty stands out, the Tang Dynasty will not interfere in politics and the powerful ministers and the country. The crown prince is still young and his grandson. Sooner or later, the world will still be his. Why should you care about this time? As long as Your Majesty stands out at this time, even if someone wants to instigate the crown prince, will this crown prince still dare to be rude to Your Majesty?"

Li Yuan was shocked and scared when he heard this, but he still shook his head: "Don't say too much, don't say too much, I'm old, I'm old."

Everyone wanted to persuade them.

Li Yuan just refused. Of course he thought these people's words made sense, but now... the wine and beauty have wiped out his body. The accident at Xuanwu Gate made him reluctant to commit suicide. He just shook his head and cried, "Leave it to fate."

"It's too late." Pei Ji stared at Li Yuan, then said seriously: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't want to do it at this time, it's impossible."

"What do you mean by this?" Li Yuan shivered and couldn't help looking at Pei Ji.

Pei Ji said seriously: "I heard that the people from the Eastern Palace have begun to advise you to transfer troops to Da'an Palace. I dare to ask Your Majesty, once the troops are sent, Your Majesty will become a fish that can be slaughtered. If someone incites the prince to prevent it before it happens, then what should Your Majesty do if you are going to harm Your Majesty at that time?"

"No." Li Yuan shook his head and said in pain: "Chengqian is my grandson, he... decisively..."

"Your Majesty, don't forget, the emperor is still your Majesty's son!" Pei Ji shouted.

Li Yuan shuddered.

"What's more,..." Pei Ji said seriously: "What's more,... In fact, it's impossible to do so. Your Majesty knows that the two princes, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, have gone to the army in the name of Your Majesty, to restrain Qianniu Guards and left and right Wu Guards."

"What." Li Yuan was shocked and angry: "How dare they do this?"

Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong were all Li Yuan's nephews, and they were brave and good at fighting, and had great prestige in the army. These two were called wise kings, but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, they were a little prepared for them, so they had to drink and have fun every day to prevent Li Shimin from being suspicious. After all, they were not old ministers of the Qin Palace, and it was difficult for Li Shimin to gain the full trust of Li Shimin. Moreover, they also had the identity of a royal family, and Li Shimin dared to kill his brothers, and their distant relatives dared not make any difference.

Unexpectedly, these two people were so decisive after a huge change in things.

After all, they are relatives of the Li clan and have prestige in the army. In the name of the Supreme Emperor, they may really control some of the imperial guards when the dragons are headless.

"In addition..." Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan: "His Royal Highness Zhao has also begun to issue an order to ban Chang'an and order the Right Guard to stand by."

King Zhao...

Li Yuanjing.

This is Li Yuan's own son. In order to show his tolerance to his brothers, Li Shimin asked King Zhao Li Yuanjing to be the governor of Yongzhou. This Yongzhou is the foot of the emperor, equivalent to the later governor of Zhili, and governed the civil affairs and public security of Yongzhou. Not only that, he also has a right guard and an imperial guard in his hand.

Li Yuan looked tragic. There was only one of his adult sons. Most of the others were young and ignorant.

"Your Highness of the King of Zhao... I also hope that Your Majesty can take charge of the overall situation. Once the prince is regent, the people in the people who are in charge will be afraid that they will slander the prince because of King Zhao's actions today. At that time... what should Your Majesty do? Will Your Majesty ignore his own son?"

Right Guard, Qianniu Guard, Left Guard...

These four guards are the backbone of the imperial guards, obviously... the royal family has taken action.

After all... when Li Shimin was there, most of the old ministers of the Qin Palace were valued, and the royal family had already become embellishments.

But if Li Yuan comes out again, it will be completely different. Those nephews will be relied on. His Highness, King Zhao, will become the prince again, or even the eldest son, have unlimited potential in the future.

Li Yuan was extremely scared and was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, at this time, you should immediately rush to Tai Chi Palace. Only by summoning all officials in Tai Chi Palace can you take the initiative."

"Yes, please think twice. By this time, the arrow was on the string and I had to fire it."

Li Yuan closed his eyes: "You... caused trouble for me."

In fact... when the two brought their ministers here, Li Yuan actually knew in his heart that the root of disaster had been laid. What would he think if the prince ascended the throne? Even if the prince thought he had no other intentions, would he be relieved with such a huge appeal?

Li Yuan said: "Are the car ready?"

After all, he was the founding lord. Once he realized that he had no other way out, he still showed his decisive side.

Pei Ji and others were excited: "It's already prepared."

"Let's go."

…………

After Li Chengqian was extremely sad, Empress Changsun seemed to realize something, endured the grief and comforted him. Li Chengqian then stood up and still cried.

Outside, Fang Xuanling and others realized that they had been delaying for too long, so they winked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji understood, so he rushed into the bedroom recklessly and shouted: "Empress, Your Highness, now is not a time for sadness. Millions of soldiers and civilians are waiting for the Empress's order and wait for Your Highness to take charge of the overall situation."

Empress Changsun had already cried and looked dignified: "Can Fang Qing's family and Du Qing's family be there?"

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling and others did not hesitate and hurried into the hall and bowed.

Empress Changsun stared at Fang Xuanling and others: "What should you think about it now?"

"In case of precaution, we must stabilize the situation in Chang'an immediately." Fang Xuanling said without hesitation: "The guards of the gate, Xiaowei, Weiwei and other guards must immediately send their trusted people to the situation to calm the situation. I have been thinking that even the ministers and others don't know about your whereabouts. So who leaked the whereabouts? This person... is extraordinary. What is he for colluding with the Turks? What did he plan and plan here in Chang'an? Therefore, I suggest that the prince immediately rushed to Taiji Hall, summoned all officials, presided over the overall situation, stabilize Chang'an first, and then stabilize the world. As for other matters, we can slowly plan. Now Your Majesty is not sure about life and death, and there is no bad news yet, so... the most urgent thing at the moment is to stabilize the position first and not give someone an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Empress Changsun nodded: "Is it just that?"

"I hope to transfer a military horse to Ma Zhou and ask Ma Zhou to rush to Da'an Palace immediately."

Fang Xuanling seemed to have made up his mind, looked solemn, and made a quick decision: "Just just now, I have discussed with Mr. Du, and I think... it is better to be careful. The Supreme Emperor is the crown prince's grandfather, and the crown prince should be filial. At this time, who can guarantee that no one will harm the Supreme Emperor? For the sake of the safety of the Supreme Emperor, it should be like this."

Queen Changsun immediately understood something. She glanced at Fang Xuanling deeply: "Ma Zhou... can you entrust a big deal?"

"Yes." Fang Xuanling said loudly: "Ma Zhou is a decisive person and a civil servant. He will never let the Supreme Emperor be suspicious, and he will not disturb the Supreme Emperor's holy decree. He is the most suitable candidate."

Empress Changsun nodded: "Then, the prince will entrust it to all the ministers. I hope that all the ministers will ensure the safety of the prince in view of the emperor's past favor."

"I... obey the order." Fang Xuanling had no doubts anymore.

With the imperial edict of Empress Changsun, he could act legitimately. He turned around and walked out of the hall quickly, and issued orders one by one: "Ma Zhou, take Jinwu Guard to Da'an Palace, Da'an Palace, no fly is allowed to enter and exit. Those who violate it will be punished. Cheng Yaojin immediately took the guards to defend the city gates everywhere, and did not have my orders, and no one was allowed to enter and exit. Your Highness, please go to Taiji Palace immediately. Mr. Changsun, you go gather all the officials."

"General Qin, General Li, General Zhang, and General Yuchi, you guard the palace gate. Remember... no one is allowed to enter and exit. Now... whenever someone dares to disobey the ban, he will be killed without mercy. If anyone in the army is transferred without authorization, he will be punished. Also, monitor all the envoys in the city. Don't let them inform them at will. As for the military situation in the north, regarding the movements of the Turks, I am afraid that General Li Ji will work. General Li Ji will immediately go to the border town. If I don't transfer a soldier and a soldier, I will not be able to move any soldiers in Chang'an. So... you can take the order from the Secretariat and control the border army. You must find a way to find out your whereabouts."

Everyone said no, and they dispersed.

Fang Xuanling looked back at Li Chengqian and said solemnly: "Crown Prince, please feel sorry for me. The more this time, the crown prince should take on the heavy responsibility, so he asked the crown prince to move to Tai Chi Palace immediately."

Fang Xuanling actually came with a sword. He pressed the sword around his waist and said sternly: "When I was in Xuanwu Gate, we shared good fortune and misfortune with Your Majesty. Today, we should have difficulties together. I wish to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go through fire and water!"
