Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

At this time, it was about four or five o'clock in the morning. Even in the hot summer, the sky was only slightly bright, but with the sharp bamboo whistle before, the whole Zhuangzi was already alarmed.

Zhou Yilang, who was staying at Li's house, was asking Fan Shiyi at the door, forgetting that he was only wearing a pair of shorts, but was reprimanded by Liu Bai'er who rushed over.

Liu Heier's style of leading the army is similar to Su Dingfang's, and he pays close attention to terms and conditions... Zhou Zhoulang replaced Wang Junhao to guard Li's house, and even at night, he must keep his weapons close to his body.

Not long after, a large group of people gathered at the gate of Li's house. Fan Shiyi didn't know what was going on, but Zhu Wei knew it well. After driving everyone back, he pulled Fan Shiyi and asked in a low voice about the situation in Renzhi Palace. .

At this moment, in the backyard, the mother and son were sitting in the house, and Li Shan's first words surprised Zhu.

"I sent Zhu Ba and Zhao Da to deliver the letter yesterday, does Eleven Niang know?"

Mrs. Zhu was stunned before saying, "I don't know."

"Then let's say later that the baby came back temporarily..."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zhu shook her head greatly, "Going back to the village in the middle of the night, people are tired and horses are exhausted. If it's not a major event, why did it come to this?"

The front yard of Li's house is not necessarily the same, but there are many maids and maids who have been with Shi Niang for many years in the back yard. Li Shan came home early in the morning, and Shi Niang should have known about it by this time, and she might have rushed over.

Li Shan was at a loss for words for a while, and he only thought about working with his counterpart, but although Eleven Niang was young, she was smart since she was a child, and those reasons might not be hidden.

Mrs. Zhu frowned and looked at her son, got up and went out to summon a maid, who came in a moment later with a bowl of mung bean porridge. At this time, Cui Shiniang also came, followed by Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman.

"My family." Cui Shiniang bowed and looked at Li Shan asking, "Your Majesty?"

After driving all night, it happened to be a hot summer, and even at night it was quite sultry. Li Shan took a few mouthfuls of mung bean porridge, and his spirit was slightly shaken, and he said with a smile: "It was just a misunderstanding."

Mrs. Zhu nodded, "It is indeed a misunderstanding. I thought that something happened to Zhuangzi, so Alang came back overnight."

Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman were also there, and Cui Shiniang couldn't ask too many details, so she just answered and ordered Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman to fetch water to help Li Shan wash up.

On such a hot day, Li Shan was full of anxiety, his face was covered with dust, and he was even wearing armor now.

"Go back and rest first, and I'll talk to you later." Li Shan whispered after washing up, "Don't worry, nothing happened."

Before Li Shan set off for the Palace of Renzhi, she secretly talked about some preparations... Cui Shiniang didn’t know much, but at least she was sure that there might be danger in the Palace of Renzhi. Now that Li Shan said so, she also I feel a little more at ease.

After Cui Shiniang and the others left, Mrs. Zhu said softly: "Have you calmed down?"

Over the years, no matter what happened, no matter what kind of accidents, Mrs. Zhu always saw a calm and composed son, but tonight surprised her greatly, but at the same time felt relieved.

Li Shan took a deep breath and nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "My child always wins over himself, and he is always calm when it comes to major events, but unexpectedly he lost his composure this time."

"My son used to be calm when it came to major events, and this time he is worried about his family." Zhu's family can see it quite clearly, "Yesterday, Zhu Wei sent a letter to leave Beijing before July [-]th and go to Qizhou to take refuge. Dodge."

"Before July [-]th?" Li Shan's eyes flickered, and he murmured, "Qizhou?"

"Avoid it?"

"Avoid what?"

Knowing that her son was not asking herself, Zhu remained silent.

Li Shan got up involuntarily, and paced back and forth in the small room, "Is the East Palace going to raise troops?"

"Impossible...Pei Hongda wouldn't be that stupid!"

"Your Majesty took away Pei Ji, Feng Li, Zheng Shanguo and other Eastern Palace lineages. He just hoped that the prince would raise his troops so that he could speak clearly and honestly. There must be arrangements in the dark. Even if the prince can't see through it, Pei Shiju must be able to see through it." !"

"What's more, Luo Yi is still in Renzhi Palace, Luo Yang, Luo Shou, and the generals of the Tianjie Army are willing to raise troops to rebel with the prince?"

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense..."

Li Shan picked up the towel and rubbed it in the cold water, and applied it on his face vigorously, and did not put it down for a long time. First of all, it can be concluded that it must be aimed at Renzhi Palace, otherwise Er Zhuhuan would not specifically mention Qi From Qizhou, they can quickly go north. Qian Jiulong in Jingzhou and Zhang Shigui in Yuanzhou are all his old troops, and Zhang Zhongjian who is actually in charge of the Lingzhou army goes north.

But is the prince really going to attack Renzhi Palace?

Are you going to use Yang Wen?
Li Shan had to admit this, if Yang Wengan fought desperately, he might pose a threat to Renzhi Palace...but this possibility is too low.

Because Yang Wengan was not sure of killing Li Yuan and Li Shimin at all, as long as one of these two survived, Li Jiancheng had no chance of winning.

Li Shan had some bad guesses in his heart. He put down the towel and said in a low voice, "Mother should know that the child will not back away."

"It's been a bumpy journey so far, my son has always moved forward bravely, and never retreated." Mrs. Zhu nodded in agreement, "What's more, Duke Ling and Duke Zhao Guo are still in Renzhi Palace, and by the way, there is also the Duke of Qinghe County."

"That's right." Li Shan sighed, "Because of emotion and reason, you can't retreat."

Although Zhu's temperament is strong and decisive, this aspect is obviously not her strong point. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice: "It's all up to you, Zhu Wei can rest assured."

"Can you really rest assured?" Li Shan smiled hesitantly, "Since uncle mentioned July 22th, today is June [-]nd, then wait in Zhuangzi..."

"Wait until the fifteenth of July?"

"It's not just waiting for the fifteenth day of July." Li Shan said quietly, "I must meet my uncle...and I should meet."

Mrs. Zhu was not surprised by this, she had this plan in the first place, now that her elder brother and son are each serving the East Palace and the King of Qin, and the day after day they seize the throne, they will have to rely on another person to get away.

"Your uncle is the prince's confidant, and he is usually in the East Palace, so you can't contact him often. Zhu Wei has set a date with him, and you may have to wait."

"Let Seventh Uncle hurry up." Li Shan rubbed his nose, thinking that there was already a sign of food shortage in Renzhi Palace, and there was also a hidden fluctuation in Chang'an City. Is it really a coincidence?

Li Shan always felt that something was right in front of him, but he couldn't see it through only a layer of hazy fog, but he hadn't slept for nearly twelve hours, and he hadn't had much rest for six or seven hours from noon to now. , I was sore all over, and I couldn't hold it any longer.

Back in the small courtyard, as soon as Li Shan entered the main room, he saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table with a sad face.

"Don't sleep?"

Cui Shiniang rubbed the center of her brows, forced a smile and said, "I'm sleepy, but..."

"Don't worry, it's safe for the time being." Li Shan smiled, and turned to greet the maid by the door, "Bring some breakfast first, I've been hungry all night, and a bowl of mung bean porridge won't hold me back."

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Cui Shiniang pulled her husband to sit down, "Father, are Ling Gong okay in Renzhi Palace?"

"It's all fine, don't worry." Li Shan repeated again, thinking that he only needs to make the crown prince unable to turn the tables. Even if Li Shimin is defeated and King Qi takes the throne, he dare not say that he will still be rich and powerful, but at least his life will be safe.

The maid had already delivered the breakfast, which may have been ordered by Cui Shiniang. In addition to the usual breakfast, there was also a bowl of fragrant mutton noodle soup. Li Shan knew it was Zhou's craftsmanship as soon as he heard it.

Li Shan sat down and hadn't eaten two bites when Cui Shiniang who was sitting beside her suddenly bent over and vomited...

"This is..." Li Shan was stunned. Is this a prophecy?
