Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

However, it was never confirmed.

Now, hearing what Empress Changsun said, my heart suddenly began to lift.

A little nervous.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also began breathing slightly heavily.

Young Master Qin is in danger?
Duan Tianya was very calm.

Shake his head.

"Don't worry, Queen."

"No one in this world can be your opponent."

"Just take a rest, eat well, drink well and sleep well. By the way, don't go back to Chang'an in the next few days."

"Let's wait until the Master comes to pick you up. I guess he should be back soon."

Duan Tianya said with a smile.

After hearing what he said, Empress Changsun's worries were completely dispelled.

Li Shimin's stiff gaze softened slightly.

That's good, that's good...
He breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I guessed, Qin Changye would never put himself in danger.

Li Shimin even felt that Qin Changye would know the news earlier than he did.

"it is good!"

Li Shimin nodded.

He looked at the boiling hot pot and put a piece of beef into it with his chopsticks.

"That's good. Li Tai, you are not worthy of the name of the Li Tang royal family after all. Humph! Not only are you short-sighted, but you are also so self-righteous!"

"I guess he doesn't even know that he is just like the beef. Everything about him is controlled by others. Humph! What a joke!!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, rinsed the beef, and put it into his mouth comfortably.

"Eat, don't worry about anything else, Master Qin will take care of it."

Li Shimin said slowly.

However, his voice contained an extremely terrifying confidence in Qin Changye.

This confidence reached its peak at this moment.

He felt that nothing in the world could escape Qin Changye's control.

It seemed that this aristocratic family's rebellion was also under Qin Changye's control.

Otherwise, why didn't Qin Changye return to Chang'an? Instead, why did he stay in Luoyang? .
………….…….
snow!
It's not just in Chang'an, but also outside Luoyang city, it's still very deep.

The arrival of the snowstorm had eliminated all signs of human presence between Chang'an and Luoyang, the two richest towns in the Tang Dynasty.

But today, a group of people were walking arduously on the official road in the snow.

The official road between Chang'an and Luoyang can be said to be the best in the world.

Absolutely no other!

However, it is still very difficult for this large group of people to move forward today.

Naturally, these two teams were none other than Li Tai, Wei Ting, and the head of the Longxi Li family, who were leading all the aristocratic people in the imperial court and Chang'an.

Bring your family with you.

Everyone is here.

As for stuff?
The thing that the noble families have the most is things.

In other words, the thing that the nobles have the most is money.

As long as the person is alive, they have everything, but if the person is gone, everything is gone.

The noble families have passed this down for thousands of years, and they understand it very well, better than anyone else.

Li Tai was sitting in the carriage.

Looking at the scenery outside the window nervously.

The carriage was moving very slowly.

However, even so, Chang'an City was getting farther and farther away, and an inexplicable sense of security rose from Li Tai's heart.

Just get out of there!

He believed that once he returned to Chang'an, based on the family's background, even if his father returned to Chang'an, everything would be over.

Without the support of the nobles, Chang'an will have no chance of fighting against me at all!

Almost all of the ten regions in the world are controlled by the aristocratic families.

How many officials in the ten provinces of the world are descendants of aristocratic families?

He couldn't figure it out, and no one could figure it out.

But one thing is for sure, a lot!

This is the confidence of the aristocratic family!

This is also the profound heritage of the aristocratic family!

Li Tai looked at the dragon robe on his body.

Um…….
Very fitted and sophisticated.

He had prepared this dragon robe long ago.

I didn't expect that today, I would actually wear it?
Li Tai was still a little dazed.

Besides him, there was another person in the carriage.

Li Yuan!

However, Li Yuan seemed to be asleep, wrapped in a woolen blanket, with a pillow behind his head. He was snoring softly and looked very peaceful.

Li Tai took a deep breath.

He didn't dare to disturb.

"Your Majesty, take a rest first. It will be soon. Don't worry. The road ahead has been cleared. Spies are also rushing to Luoyang to report the news."

"Eighty percent of the officials in the court have come here. Chang'an has become a deserted city."

"We have already started preparing in Luoyang. We will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow morning and there will be a grand ceremony to welcome your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you just need to be a good emperor. Don't worry about anything else. Don't worry!"

Wei Ting spoke in a deep voice outside the window, reporting the situation.

Li Tai nodded vigorously.

"Thanks a lot."

"Tell the others that once you reach Luoyang and eliminate the rebels in Chang'an, I will definitely reward you greatly!"

Li Tai said a little excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Ting bowed and continued, "Your Majesty, you should take a rest as well."

"I'm afraid you didn't get enough rest last night. Old Chen should go to the carriage at the back and take a nap."

Li Tai lowered the car curtain.

Closed his eyes.

The tense nerves relaxed a little.

All of a sudden, I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In a carriage behind the carriage.

Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu, the head of the Longxi Li family, the head of the Qinghe Cui family and others were all sitting there, holding maps in their hands with serious expressions.

"It's almost there. Maybe we can reach Luoyang in advance before tomorrow morning."

"Humph! Li Shimin... Even if he didn't die, this world would still be ours!"

The head of the Longxi Li family snorted coldly.

"That's right, we can take action in Chang'an now!"

"Kill all the officials who didn't come with us. Also, kill Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Jing and the rest of them!"

"It's difficult to mobilize the army now. The snow has blocked the horses' steps. In the heavy snow, it's difficult for the Sixteen Guards to display their strength."

"Once we return to Luoyang, we can mobilize the army and attack the Sixteen Guards directly!"

"By the way, keep in touch with the people in the Sixteen Guards. If anyone wants to join the light, have them rush to Luoyang immediately to protect the new master!"

Wei Ting said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded.

Sixteen Guards!
This is Li Shimin's last resort, but does he really think that these sixteen guards belong to him?
Little did they know that many of them had already been lured in by their aristocratic families.

In addition, under the Tang Dynasty's military system, the army is still composed of civilians, and it will take some time for them to regroup.

But the army of the aristocratic families has always been there.

No matter how you look at it, they are sure to win.

"Oh, and all the granaries in Chang'an have been burned!"

"Not a single one left!!" "Even if Li Shimin didn't die, how could he fight us?"

The head of Qinghe Cui family added.

"That's right, everything belongs to us. If it's not ours, no one else can have it!"

"Huh... We spent so much time preparing the salt. What should be destroyed has been destroyed, and what should be shipped away has already been shipped away. There is no salt left in Chang'an."

"They will surely die!"

The head of the Longxi Li family took a deep breath and laughed cruelly.

Orders were given one by one.

Chang'an seems to be in chaos.

The convoy, like a swimming dragon, seemed to connect the two cities of Luoyang and Chang'an.

….……….…….
north.

It's snowing heavily.

The back hall of a courtyard.

A guard dressed in a black coat slowly walked into the yard.

"Master, Chang'an City is in chaos."

"The five surnames and seven clans, except for our Fanyang Lu clan, have all risen up and supported Li Tai to ascend the throne. They have left Chang'an City and headed for Luoyang."

The family guard reported everything that happened in Chang'an City yesterday.

They were clearly in the north, a month away from Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, but they were able to know what happened in Chang'an City just yesterday.

In front of this family guard was the head of the Fanyang Lu family, who was completely shrouded in a black robe and could not be seen clearly.

"How is Lu Yuntian?"

He did not care about the major events in Chang'an City, but asked his second-in-command instead.

"Deputy Patriarch Lu led all members of the Lu family to leave Chang'an City as soon as the incident happened."

"But they are not heading to Luoyang, but heading towards us."

Jiawei said.

The head of the Fanyang Lu family narrowed his eyes and said, "Well done. If Chang'an City is in chaos, let them be in chaos. This will also prevent Li Kuan from having so much free time."

"We should take this opportunity to reunite."

Upon hearing this, Jiawei nodded.

Then he thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Master, this is such a big event in Chang'an City, and our family is just standing by and watching?"

"These noble families have finally rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. If we unite, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Wouldn't it be easier to deal with the King of Chu, Li Kuan?"

The head of the Fanyang Lu family shook his head and said, "No, this will expose us."

"If the Big Dipper didn't exist, it would be a good thing to unite together, but the reality is that it does exist."

"If we were to step out into the open like Li Kuan did, then... no one would know what the Big Dipper would do in the dark. This would be extremely terrifying."

"Any single star in the Big Dipper cannot be underestimated. The seven stars together are even more terrifying."

"Let Li Kuan fight with those noble families, and buy some time for us!"

"It will take more than a few months to travel north from Chang'an City. We will eliminate tens of thousands of Li Kuan's people and let them continue to pester Li Kuan. We and the Big Dipper can also continue to eliminate Li Kuan's wings."

"And....haha, the aristocratic families, they are too much of an eyesore. It would be best to use Li Kuan to get rid of them."

A cold laugh sounded in the room.

Then everything calmed down.
.
……….………….….
Luoyang.

In the back hall of a courtyard.

There was thick snow outside the room.

Every room is like spring with flowers blooming.

Lu Lingqi held a cup of hot tea in her hand and gently placed it next to Li Kuan.

Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Haitang were playing hopscotch and were not having fun.

"Sir, there is news from outside."

"Wei Wang Li Tai, they are heading towards Luoyang."

"Very bad news. Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, has proclaimed himself emperor and wants to bring his noble family with him to make Luoyang the imperial capital."

Qin Changye sat in the rocking chair, looking at the snow outside the door, listening to Lu Lingqi's words with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Li Tai proclaimed himself emperor? He really dared to do that."

"This matter... Xiao Sizi, are they all okay?"

Qin Changye couldn't help but ask.

At this moment.

When Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Haitang heard this, they also realized what was happening and stopped playing the hopscotch games in their hands.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't even proclaimed himself emperor, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has?" Shangguan Wan'er widened her eyes.

Shangguan Haitang rubbed the chessboard lightly with his fingers, and said with some emotion: "I never thought of it, but, Master, our chance has come."

"We have too many enemies, including the Big Dipper, the head of the Fanyang Lu family, and these noble families. If Li Tai becomes emperor, the Five Surnames and Seven Families will surely follow him."

"If we act now, it will be legitimate. Only the young master and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be left to compete for the throne."

"Young Master..."

Shangguan Haitang was thoughtful and spoke in a deep voice.

Qin Changye glanced at her and shook his head.

"Sir... His Majesty and the Queen are all fine. They are now at the Wangyun Inn at the foot of Mount Li, accompanied by Commander Duan."

"And His Highness Xiao Sizi is in Chang'an City. During the coup, some nobles came to attack and kill him, but they were all dealt with by Jing Ke, so there is no problem."

Lu Lingqi reported again.

Qin Changye nodded slightly.

"Okay, but Haitang, don't talk about the emperor's affairs next time."

"As for other matters, go ahead and make arrangements. Once Luoyang is under our control, Li Tai and the other five surnames and seven families of the Longxi Li family will not have to enter the city."

"If you rebel, you have to pay the price."

"After all, rebellion is not that easy."

Qin Changye gave the order casually.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingqi immediately bowed and hurried away.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Shangguan Haitang stuck out her tongue, with a devilish smile on her face: “Hehehe…”

"I guess the King of Wei and his men didn't expect that by then, Luoyang City would already be ours."

"They were locked up outside, and no one could get any help from them."

"We can't go to Luoyang, and we can't go to Chang'an. When the time comes, we'll have to see what they're going to do."

"Sir, when the time comes, should we go to the city wall to greet them?"

Shangguan Haitang was a little excited.

Rubbing his little hands.

Looking at Qin Changye with great anticipation.

"Then the young master will surely have arrangements."

"You, you should just look at the chessboard. I won."

"Hahaha……."

Shangguan Wan'er placed the chess piece again and laughed heartily.

"Help me wash my clothes for a month, best of three, no cheating, I've already won twice!"

Shangguan Wan'er was extremely happy.

Shangguan Haitang's originally excited and yearning face suddenly fell.

She said nothing, just stared at the chessboard, her whole body dazed.

what happened?

Lost again?
Another month of laundry?!
What about Wei Wang Li Tai, what about rebellion, what about going to the city wall to welcome him, all of them were thrown behind her mind! !
The little face looks miserable.

Her little mouth is pouting.

"Wow... Sir, please help me win this."

"Master, I have been helping Wan'er wash for three months."

Shangguan Haitang suddenly pounced on Qin Changye.

Qin Changye smiled helplessly.

He rubbed her head.
