The Prime Minister's Mansion, an army of more than 2,000 people have tightly guarded the Prime Minister's Mansion, led by the Right Guard General Li Duozuo. The situation is not good, and everyone felt it. Li Dan was also worried. As a son, he was even more worried about his mother's situation in the palace.

Just now, the eunuch in the palace came to promulgate the imperial edict, saying that the emperor was seriously ill and missed him very much, hoping that he could enter the palace to greet him. Li Dan was wandering around the lobby, his heart was burning. At this time, the third son Li Longji said: "Father, this must be Er Zhang's trick to deceive his father into the palace. If his father enters the palace, he will inevitably be harmed by them."

Li Dan sighed with his hands behind his back: "As a son, how can you sit down and see your mother seriously ill and ignore her, and do unfilial behavior to avoid disaster. Even if you ascend the throne, you will be ridiculed by the people of the world. I still want to go to the palace to visit my mother."

Li Longji was very anxious, "Why is my father so pedantic?"

"shut up!"

Li Dan turned around and scolded, "When your mother was killed by Wei Tuaner, didn't you rush into the palace to save her mother? Why didn't you think about danger at that time? Your life was given by your parents. Seeing that your mother was seriously ill, maybe this was the last side, how dare you say I was pedantic?"

Li Longji was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. At this time, Li Chengqi stepped forward and said, "It's better for the child to come to the palace to visit his grandmother. If there is no problem in the palace, let his father enter the palace to visit him."

Li Dan thought about it and had no choice but to do so. He instructed his son: "I ask General Li to send someone to protect you into the palace. You must be careful. If you find that the situation is wrong, you can withdraw immediately."

"Children understand, please don't worry, father!"

Li Chengqi changed into clothes and wore fine armor inside. Under the escort of a hundred soldiers, he took a carriage to the palace.

Li Chengqi was not blocked and entered the palace all the way, but his entourage gradually decreased. This is also the palace rule. No one dared to lead more than a hundred people into the Taichu Palace, which was a serious crime of regulating rebellion. When Li Chengqi came to the Palace of Changsheng, only two of his entourage were left.

But Emperor Wu Yizong stepped forward and stopped him, "Stop!"

Li Chengqi bowed his hands and said calmly: "I came to visit the emperor's grandmother, why did General Wu stop me?"

Emperor Wu Yizong said coldly: "The emperor's will be to let His Highness the Prime Minister meet, but he did not let you come. You go back and let your father come to see you."

Li Chengqi was furious, "Zong Wu Yizong, don't bully people too much!"

At this moment, a little eunuch ran out of the palace and shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Xuan Shouchun, came in to see you!"

Li Chengqi glared at Wu Yizong and walked quickly into the hall. Wu Yizong had no choice but to stop the two followers and prevent them from following.

Li Chengqi's arrival did disrupt the plans of the Zhang brothers. Just now, Zhang Yizhi changed his mind. Since Li Chengqi came, he could not let him leave again, imprison him in the palace and force Li Dan to leave Beijing.

Li Chengqi quickly walked into the Hall of Eternity. At this time, Zhang Yizhi surrounded him with dozens of eunuchs. Li Chengqi said coldly: "I want to see the emperor's grandmother and dodge me!"

"The Lord of the Lord just fell asleep, and no one could disturb her. Your Highness went to the side hall to wait first. When the Lord of the Lord wakes up, you will naturally come in and see you."

Seeing that the eunuchs around him were ready to move, Li Chengqi turned around and ran away. Zhang Yizhi shouted: "Catch him!"

Dozens of eunuchs rushed over and pushed Li Chengqi to the ground. Li Chengqi cursed, and Zhang Yizhi snorted coldly, "Take him down and lock him up."

The eunuchs pushed Li Chengqi down. At this time, Zhang Changzong walked forward and said, "It seems that Li Dan is ready. Will he drive him out of the capital next?"

Zhang Yizhi said coldly: "His son is in my hands, so I told him openly that either his son will die or he will get out of the capital."

In the lobby, Li Dan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, anxiously waiting for his son to receive news. Although he was eager to visit his mother's condition, his son was also his heartfelt, and he also did not want something to happen.

Li Longji stood aside and didn't dare to say anything more, but he felt a little dissatisfied with his father, indecisive and too concerned about love. How could this kind of personality be able to seize the throne? He knew that the Zhang brothers controlled the palace and had to visit his mother. Isn't this a death sentence?

Li Longji lamented in his heart that the situation was so serious that his father could not launch a coup. He could no longer help saying, "Please ask the father to ask the child to find Li Zhen, so you can't hesitate anymore."

Li Dan turned around and glared at him, "What are you doing with Li Zhen? Do you want to launch a coup?"

"yes!"

Li Longji gritted his teeth, "The more he dragged backwards, the more he was in a shape, it was becoming more and more unfavorable to us..."

"You've thought things too simple."

Li Dan restrained the anger in his heart and said to his son: "Do you think I'm not anxious? Now I don't know the situation of your emperor's grandmother. If she is sober and is just a little sick, you will launch a coup rashly. You know how serious the consequences are. As long as she stands up, the soldiers will turn against each other immediately. You think others are fools, why don't Wu Sansi launch a coup? Why don't your emperor aunt launch a coup? No one wants to be the first to stand up. The first to stand up is rebellion, and the later to stand up is to save the horse. Do you understand?"

"But my father could kill Er Zhang in the name of Qingjun and welcome the emperor's grandmother to ascend the throne again. At that time, my father was in power, and the emperor's grandmother could only hand over the throne to his father."

"Although your idea is good, there is no preparation. The ministers have no contact, the royal family has no support, and we don't have any army. We can only rely entirely on Li Zhen. Do you know what Li Zhen's true identity is?"

Li Dan sighed, "He is actually a royal family. If he has troops to stand up, we will be the first one to kill. Besides, he has never agreed to be loyal to us. Perhaps he is supporting your princess."

Li Longji was stunned. He never expected that Li Zhen's identity would have a secret behind the scenes. Li Dan shook his head and said, "Now we can only wait until the situation changes before we can decide what we can do?"

Li Longji sighed secretly, lowered his head, lost the initiative, and became more and more passive later.

At this time, a guard reported in the hall: "Your Highness, the imperial edict has arrived!"

Li Dan hurriedly ordered: "Set up the incense table to welcome the order!"

A incense table was placed in front of the lobby, and Li Dan knelt in front of the incense table. The eunuch Xia Zhong expressed his order and said loudly: "Prince Li Dan has lived alone in You Mansion for several years. He is gentle, kind, obedient, loyal, filial and self-disciplined. I am deeply pleased that I specially appointed the governor of Bingzhou, stayed in Taiyuan, and was appointed as the General of the Cavalry. I set off immediately without going to the palace to thank me. I admire this!"

Li Dan's heart was half cold. He demoted himself to Bingzhou at a critical moment, which means he would not give himself a chance to the throne. He kowtowed three times, "I obey the order!"

Xia Zhongyi received the imperial edict and handed it to Li Dan and said with a smile: "Zhang Shenwang has entered Beijing, and no one is in charge in Taiyuan. The emperor hopes that Your Highness will set off immediately and not until tomorrow."

Li Dan took the imperial edict and asked, "How is my mother's situation?"

Xia Zhong whispered: "The emperor has aged for decades. He is not in good health. He cannot get out of bed and walk around, and is in good spirits. She is sitting on the bed and ordering her to summon her."

Li Dan was suspicious and asked again: "My son has become a weapon and entered the palace. Didn't General Manager Xia meet it?"

Xia Zhong said earnestly: "His Highness Shouchun is indeed in the palace, but General Zhang hopes that he will stay in the palace for a few more days. If Your Highness leaves the capital tonight, maybe you father and son have a day to meet again."

Li Longji next to him was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhong's clothes, shouting, "How do you want to do to my elder brother?"

"Sanlang, don't be rude!"

Li Dan angrily shouted, and shouted Li Longji. He bowed to Xia Zhong and said, "Please tell General Zhang that I will leave Beijing now. If Zhang wants to have a good end, please let them go to let my son go within three days, otherwise I, Li Dan, will never spare the Zhang family!"

Xia Zhong laughed dryly and hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the palace in shame. Li Longji said anxiously: "How can my father believe his words? This is a false imperial edict. It is not the emperor's grandmother's intention at all. The emperor's grandmother must be terminally ill now."

"Enough!"

Li Dan stopped his son and said coldly: "I know much more clearly than you, so let them establish the Wu clan. I will raise an army in Taiyuan and call on the people of the world to respond and revive Li Tang!"

He took out the golden arrow soldiers' talisman from his arms and handed it to Li Longji, "Go and hurry to various villas in Hanoi, call on the 10,000 troops I trained, and come to Taiyuan to meet me."

"But what should I do with my brother?"

Li Dan sneered, "I wish they wouldn't dare to touch a hair of my son!"

"You're going to set out now!"

Li Longji took the military talisman and led more than a hundred people to leave Luoyang City first and run towards Hebei.

Li Dan then packed his luggage, took his wife and daughter with him, and headed towards Taiyuan under the escort of General Li Duozuo and more than a thousand soldiers. As soon as he left Luoyang City, he saw more than 500 cavalrymen running from the west, dust was flying, and the cavalry rushed towards him for a moment. The person in charge was Li Zhen's confidant, Jiu Zhi.

Jiu Zhizai immediately clasped his fists and said, "See Your Highness, Prince of the Prime Minister!"

Li Dan smiled bitterly and said, "The situation has changed too fast, so I don't have time to notify you General, please forgive me."

Jiuzhi stepped forward and whispered: "The situation in the palace is unclear. The general said he could not leave for the time being. He asked Bei Zhi to give him something to His Highness!"

Jiu Zhi took out the command arrows and tiger talismans from his arms, and said to Li Dan: "There are 5,000 cavalry soldiers stationed in Taiyuan. With these command arrows and tiger talismans, you can be mobilized. Please keep them!"

Li Dan was overjoyed. With five thousand cavalry, he didn't have to worry. He was grateful to Li Zhen for his support, took the arrow and the tiger talisman, and said to Jiuzhi: "Please tell you General Jiu that Li Dan will remember his great kindness in his heart."

Jiuzhi retreated and ordered the five hundred cavalry again, saying, "You should protect His Highness Prime Minister and go to Taiyuan. Everything should be followed by His Highness Prime Minister and you must not be wrong!"

Five hundred people agreed in unison, "Abide by the order!" The momentum was spectacular.

Li Dan nodded. Although Li Zhen never agreed to be loyal to him, it can be seen from this that he is still a person who values ​​love and friendship. Li Dan was actually afraid that someone would attack him halfway through. Now there are 500 more cavalry guards, and he completely let go of his heart.
