Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1324: Plea (Part )

In the side hall, Li Yuan looked inexplicably at Li Shan, who was prostrating on the ground and asking for forgiveness. He glanced at Princess Pingyang, whose face was not so good-looking, and signaled Chai Shao to quickly pick up Li Shan.

"What is Huairen doing?" Li Yuan blinked, "I have told Erlang about entering the Xuanwu Gate from the Forbidden Garden, but Erlang doesn't take it seriously, and the Beiya Imperial Army will be stationed at the Forbidden Garden in the future."

Li Shan's face looked a little bitter, "I apologize because Er Zhuhuan..."

"Er Zhuhuan?" Princess Pingyang was confused and glanced at her father and husband, "Who is this?"

Chai Shao whispered: "The prince's confidant, the official and the general."

"I was just about to ask Er Zhuhuan who he was." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Er Zhuhuan's cousin Erzhu Yichen made a counterattack in Changlin's army, and even killed Luo Yang..."

Li Shan led his personal guards into the Xuanwu Gate to stage a great reversal. Such a legend that turned the tide cannot be separated from two people. One is Ma Zhou who can control Chang He at the critical moment, otherwise the three or four people around Er Zhu Huan may not be able to open the door. Xuanwu Gate, the other one is Er Zhuhuan.

Li Shan had also admitted before that it was Er Zhuhuan, the prince's confidant, who sent him out of the palace. All the reversals began at this time.

However, Li Shan did not expect that Er Zhu Yichen actually killed Luo Yang. After thinking about it, he whispered: "Chen Wude went north to Chang'an to visit relatives in the fourth year of his life because of Er Zhu Huan, who is Chen's cousin."

"What?" Li Yuan was shocked. He and Li Shimin had speculated repeatedly, but they didn't expect it to be this reason.

Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang on the side looked at each other, the former winked, and the latter curled her lips slightly... They both knew that Li Shan came to Chang'an to seek relatives, but it was his biological father Li Dewu.

Li Yuan rubbed his hands together, "The Erzhu clan... after the Battle of Hanling... there was only the Erzhu Chang clan. Is your mother Zhu's Erzhu clan?"

"It's all a hundred years ago." Li Shan explained: "In the Battle of Hanling, the Erzhu clan was almost wiped out by Gao Huan, and the few clans were also destroyed one after another. In the North, only the former Sui Border City County Duke was killed. There are many branches, but there is still one that escaped to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Oh, I remembered it!" Li Yuan suddenly said: "Pengcheng Prince Zhu Zhongyuan's branch."

"Yes." Li Shan nodded, "But this branch gradually disappeared after escaping to the south of the Yangtze River, and its descendants changed their surname to Zhu."

"My mother is the only one left. There are no males in the clan, so she went north. In the early Sui Dynasty, Er Zhuxiu, the son of the Duke of Jincheng County, served in the south of the Yangtze River. It was at that time that my mother met Er Zhuhuan."

Obviously Li Shan had already prepared the draft, and it was impossible for Er Zhuhuan to get around this point. "However, when I first arrived in Chang'an, I was hard to find for a while. I suffered from a serious illness, and the following year he went to Hebei with the army..."

"It wasn't until a few years ago that I took charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office with a long history, and His Majesty sent officials to enrich it. Daizhou Secretary Mar Zhu Yichen... did I know that my uncle Er Zhuhuan was an official of the East Palace."

"So that's it." Li Yuan stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, and they all seemed right. It should be that after the battle between Jingzhou and Yuanzhou, Huairen and Erlang had a good relationship, so Huairen secretly urged Er Zhuhuan to switch to Erlang.

It is true that Erlang may not know the truth. Huairen has always been very lenient to the people around him. Er Zhuhuan is his uncle. Huairen will not tell Erlang... lest Er Zhuhuan be in danger.

The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more he felt it was right, but Princess Pingyang on the side stared at Li Shan with doubt. Even if it was the truth, it was not all the truth... Not to mention, Princess Pingyang still remembered Li Shan's vows in front of her. He said that he was not involved in seizing his direct descendants, but he was telling endless lies!

Chai Shao on the other side grinned. He also remembered Li Shanxin's promise, but he remembered another thing Li Shan said that day... He was just following the example of the Xue brothers.

Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun threw themselves into the East Palace and the Tiance Mansion to ensure that the lintel would not fall. Chai Shao was surprised at that time. Indeed, Ling Jing invested in Tiance Mansion and became King Qin's confidant. If you want to compare, then you, Li Shan, who is in the East Palace, must not be an ordinary person.

Chai Shao had guessed many people, but now he knew that person was Er Zhuhuan.

Although the status of General Lang is slightly lower, he is also the senior general in the Sixteenth Guards system after the General and the General, and he is also the confidant of the Crown Prince... In addition, he is Li Shan's uncle, so overall he is barely equal. .

Everything is reasonable. Although there is an ambush in the East Palace, the problem is that Er Zhuhuan is an old man from Jinyang. He has already invested in the East Palace when Li Jiancheng appointed the crown prince. It was not Li Shan who tried every means to insert him.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Erlang was able to turn the crisis into safety this time. The first credit was Huairen, and the second credit was Er Zhuhuan."

"This one……"

"If Er Zhu Huan hadn't taken the risk to send you out of the palace, without me and Erlang... the country would have been difficult to survive." Li Yuan sighed.

This is true. Even if Li Jiancheng kills Li Shimin and his heirs, even if Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing are won over by Li Jiancheng, chaos will definitely spread throughout the pass, Longyou, and Hedong.

Just in Guanzhong, will Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Shigui, Li Mengchang and a large number of Qin Wang's generals in the Lingzhou army be loyal to Li Jiancheng?

Not to mention that the leaders of the tens of thousands of troops in the southeast of Henan are all from the lineage of the King of Qin. Will they stick out their necks and let Li Jiancheng chop them down?

Chaos is almost inevitable, and the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is in full swing. If one thing goes wrong, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed.

Princess Pingyang asked curiously: "Huairen, Er Zhuhuan will send you out of the Taiji Palace...but at night the keys to the Zhuque Gate and Chengtian Gate are all dropped."

"Indeed." Li Yuan also became curious, "Huairen also said that he would report privately before. How did he get out of the palace?"

Li Shan grinned and whispered: "Actually, Er Zhuhuan took his ministers through the Tongxun Gate to the East Palace..."

"Uh...East Palace?" Chai Shao looked a little weird. Although thinking about it, this is indeed the only way, but the East Palace conspired to rebel, and Er Zhuhuan hid Li Shan in the East Palace, which is really unexpected.

"When did you leave the East Palace?" Li Yuan asked with a smile: "I remember Huairen mentioned that it was not dark when we left the Jinguang Gate, so the Changlin Gate must not have been opened yet, right?"

Li Shan's voice became softer, "Uncle, under the curfew at night, only the Golden Gate will be open..."

Li Yuan was confused and turned around to see that Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao were equally confused.

"Speak clearly!" Princess Pingyang said angrily: "What's the point?"

"Uh..." Li Shan chuckled and said, "It's Ye Xiang... Er Zhuhuan found Ye Xianglang and took his ministers out of the city."

Li Yuan's eyes widened and he pointed at Li Shan. He felt a little sympathy for the traitor. If he knew that he was overturned in this way, he would be angry to death again if he were alive.
