Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1143 This Night
Facing Li Daoxuan's threat with a knife, Wang Gui and Wei Ting were not surprised at all. Although they were confused and did not know what happened, after all, Li Daoxuan was once so famous by Shi Wanbaokeng, who was known as holding the emperor's edict. Miserable... makes sense.

But Su, the supervisor in the palace, bent his bow and set his arrow... Wang Gui and Wei Ting felt a little thumping in their hearts.

The supervisor in the palace is the chief officer of the province in the palace. From the three ranks, he is in charge of the etiquette of the court, the emperor dresses the chariots and horses, and the commander-in-chief of the six bureaus of Shangshi, Shangyao, Shangyi, Shangshe, Shangshe, and Shangchariot. They are almost the former Sui servants The status of the province cannot be assumed by non-emperor cronies.

It is said that the system of three provinces and six ministries began in the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, actually set up five provinces and six ministries. The Ministry of Internal Affairs can stand shoulder to shoulder with the three provinces of Menxia, ​​Zhongshu, and Shangshu, and its status can be imagined.

The previous supervisor, Chen Fu, died in the Renshou Palace last year, and Su Zhi succeeded him, but he immediately bent his bow and set up an arrow when he saw two officials of the East Palace, which largely represented Li Yuan's thoughts.

"His Royal Highness King Huaiyang." Wang Gui didn't seem to see the long knife reflected cold by the moonlight, and stepped forward two steps: "The prince is here."

Li Daoxuan felt his hands slightly wet... To Wang Gui's surprise, Li Daoxuan backed away slowly, his eyes full of vigilance.

Wang Gui couldn't help but look back at Wei Ting, both of them looked confused... They both sensed that Li Daoxuan and Su Zhi who were opposite seemed to be a little scared.

What are you afraid of?
Of course he was afraid. Yang Wenqian led more than a thousand rebels to attack Renzhi Palace for two days. Today, he escaped from death and was sent back to Jingzhao, but he bumped into the people of Donggong in Huayuan County.

The first reaction of Li Daoxuan and Su Zhi was, could it be possible that he ran to the rebel lair?

After a long time of repeated inspections, until the middle of the night, the scouts sent out to investigate the surrounding area came back one after another, and after careful interrogation of the Huayuan county magistrate, Li Daoxuan and Su Zhi were relieved.

"His Royal Highness Wei Si Wang stopped here last night, it should be fine." Su Zhi glanced at the post station from a distance, "The county magistrate said that the crown prince arrived in Huayuan County at dusk, with only a dozen or so entourages."

Li Daoxuan muttered in dissatisfaction: "Didn't Huairen say that the third sister restrained the Beiya imperial army and was in charge of the imperial city?"

"Why would you let the prince out of Beijing?!"

Su Zhi didn't dare to answer this question. King Huaiyang lost his father since he was a child, and was raised by His Majesty. Princess Pingyang taught him how to ride and shoot, and King Wei Si and King Huaiyang were life-and-death friends...you can complain , I don't have the courage.

"There is no difference within ten miles, Your Highness, don't worry." Su Zhi scratched his head, "But His Royal Highness is going to Renzhi Palace?"

"It should be." Li Daoxuan had some vague guesses. He was also present when Li Shan mentioned everything to His Majesty at dusk today.

"That……"

"Go." Li Daoxuan pouted, "After dawn, ten people will be left behind to escort the prince to Renzhi Palace to have an audience."

Su Chi thought and thought, and he had no choice but to go to Chang'an by himself. In addition to ordering the prince to see him, he also had to formally order Princess Pingyang to control Chang'an's troops so that there would be no chaos in the country. Li Daoxuan wanted to go to Xinfeng, Li In Quanzhou and Quanzhou, Liu Hongji and Zhang Pinggao were summoned to lead Shangfan government soldiers to escort them.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Jiancheng listened to the brief edict of the Soviet Union with a pale face. He could not guess what happened in Renzhi Palace, but he was sure that something must have happened.

At this time, my father summoned...it would definitely not be good news.

In just three days, first Er Zhuhuan found out that Qiao Gongshan had suddenly transported armaments out of Beijing, and then Li Huairen, the heir king of Wei, suddenly left for the north. Pei Shiju persuaded the prince to go to Renzhi Palace for an audience, but Li Jiancheng still wanted to wait.

Until yesterday, Princess Pingyang suddenly brought three treasures of horses, summoned all the old troops of the forbidden army, detained Li Gaoqian, the general of Jiangxia County, the right prison guard, and controlled the Beiya forbidden army and controlled the imperial city. Li Jiancheng felt bad.

Among the staff of the East Palace, Prince Sheren Xu Shimo urged Li Jiancheng to raise troops, call Changlin Army into Taiji Palace, control Chang'an, and then ordered Yang Wenqian, Wei Yunqi and Luo Yiyuan's Tianjie Army in Longxi.

But Zhan Shizhu Zhao Hongzhi persuaded Li Jiancheng to rush to Renzhi Palace immediately...Princess Pingyang suddenly took control of the imperial city and restrained the Beiya Imperial Army, she must have obtained His Majesty's permission. He was also convicted of treason.

Both Wang Gui and Pei Shiju agreed, and since Wei Zheng's reply was not received, Li Jiancheng finally made up his mind to set off from Chang'an today, that is, in the afternoon of July [-]th. , arrived in Huayuan County at dusk... Calculating the distance, it was basically a gallop all the way.

Although Princess Pingyang restrained the forbidden army, she couldn't stop it... She knew it well. Both Xinfeng and Liquan had soldiers from the Shangfan government. Li Jiancheng went out of Beijing to see Renzhi Palace. reason.

Seeing that Su Zhi was about to turn around and leave, Wang Gui couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the other's sleeve... As a result, the old man was thrown backwards.

"Yesterday Huairen led his guards to go north, but something happened to Renzhi Palace?" Wei Ting simply blocked the door.

Su Zhi didn't say a word, partly because if it wasn't for King Wei Si, he would have died in Cuiwei Hall today, those officials from aristocratic families might escape their lives, but he would never escape.

On the other hand, Su Zhi didn't know what kind of plan His Majesty had, but no matter what kind of plan he had, if he leaked the news in advance, it would only cause trouble for him if it spread out.

Despite Wang Gui and Wei Ting's repeated questioning, Su Zhi remained silent until Li Daoxuan came to pick him up.

After leaving the post station, Li Daoxuan didn't say a word after hearing Su Zhi's explanation, but his suspicions became more and more serious... If Yang Wengan was ordered by the prince to launch an army to rebel, the prince would not have just brought a dozen entourages to the When they came from Huayuan County, Wang Gui and Wei Ting would not ask what happened in Renzhi Palace?
Considering that Wei Zheng's unlucky ghost rushed to Renzhi Palace the day before the incident, Li Daoxuan had to ponder another possibility... At dusk today, Li Shan mentioned Yu Wenbao after hearing the name Yu Wenying, and everyone was shocked. Whether it was said or not but the common judgment, it is likely that the prince and King Qi joined forces, but now it seems that it is hard to say.

At this moment, it was already late at night, but Li Yuan in the Palace of Renzhi and Cuiwei Hall woke up. After all, he had been asleep since dusk, and he had slept enough until this time.

"Where's Huairen?"

The supportive palace servant asked in a low voice: "Call Wei Siwang?"

Li Yuan looked at the night outside the window, hesitated for a while, "Go and have a look, Huairen is asleep."

After all, there are no clocks in this era, and Li Yuan doesn't know what time it is.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shan, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, hurried over.
