Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 417
The news of the rebellion in the Wannian Palace shocked the government and the public in an instant.Some people were amazed that the crown prince and King Qi dared to rebel and kill the king, while others wept and sighed secretly.

Because the crown prince died and the king of Qi went crazy, then the only remaining prince in Chang'an, the only adult prince, the only prince who has military merits and made great contributions to the chaos, is the king of Chu!
Although the king of Chu is not a son of a son, but a son of a concubine, but now two sons of his son have died, and the remaining one has also participated in the rebellion. Who will be the crown prince in the future can be seen with the naked eye.

No one would have thought that the king of Chu, who was looked down upon by others at the beginning of the founding of the country, and even ridiculed for being ignorant of world affairs, would one day be very likely to become a prince, and even ascend the throne in the future!
This is not impossible. All the ministers knew that Emperor Li Yuan had been hit hard by the rebellion between the crown prince and the King of Qi. In addition, the emperor was already old. How many more years could he last?
Even if the emperor survived and lived for another ten years, it would be useless when the other concubine princes grew up.

Because the king of Chu is now the number one person in the Tang military, and he has a deep foundation in the court.How can those princes who will grow up in the future be the opponents of King Chu?

More importantly, with the prince's lessons learned, who knows whether the king of Chu will follow the example of his elder brother?
Now in Chang'an, who can check and balance the king of Chu?

The answer is no!
Not a single one can beat!
A few days later, after Li Yuan's condition gradually stabilized, Li Zhiyun ordered to return to Chang'an.

On the way, the soldiers of the left and right guards escorted the staff of the Eastern Palace.One prison car after another, the people sitting inside were all the prince's confidantes.

Wei Ting, Wang Gui, Lu Chisong, Zheng Shanguo and so on.

The reason why these people are alive is because they are civilian officials, and rebellion can only be done by military commanders, so they will not be slaughtered in the rear.

But living is sometimes more painful than dying.

Like Wei Ting, who had been close to Li Jiancheng since childhood, now that Li Jiancheng failed in his rebellion, how could he deal with it calmly.

The rest of Wang Gui and Lu Chisong felt desolate.

Supporting the prince's ascension, they undoubtedly made a wrong bet this time.

Needless to say, Zheng Shanguo, the crown princess was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, and they were already tied to the East Palace.

Now that the crown prince has failed, can the King of Chu not liquidate him?
Wei Siqi steered the horse beside him, his eyes fell on Wei Ting.They were both from Jingzhao Webster's background. Although they were a generation behind and from different branches, they were still of the same clan after all.

Seeing that Wei Ting was disheartened, Wei Siqi said softly: "His Royal Highness Chu Wang has always been kind, as long as you confess everything, he will not take your life."

Hearing this, Wei Ting cast a glance at him and ignored this nephew.

Wei Siqi just mentioned it kindly, seeing that Wei Ting didn't accept his kindness, he didn't care, and just walked away indifferently.

Wei Ting was also an unlucky old man in history. His younger sister married the former king of Sui and Qi Dynasties, Yang Hao, and died without a place to bury her.His own eldest daughter married Li You, King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, but Li You was later murdered for rebellion.It was his old man Li Shimin who ordered Li You to be killed.

But Li You can only say that he shouldn't have been born in this world, because in history, this buddy's grandfather was a master of the underworld. He not only killed 'Li Zhiyun', but also ordered people to dig the grave of the old Li family ancestor.

As for Li You in this world, he has already received a lunch box with his mother.

Throughout the beginning of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, none of the princes named King Qi was a normal person.This is true of Yang Hao in the former Sui Dynasty, Li Yuanji and Li You in the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps, this is the curse left by those psychopaths in Beiqi.

On the other side, Pei Ju looked at Wang Gui in the prison car with a smile on his lips, and then slowly lowered the curtains.

He has reason to be happy now, because he is happy with his old-fashioned vision.

If he had really followed Wang Gui's persuasion and turned to Li Jiancheng, he would have no place to cry now.

Thinking of this, he smiled, like an old victorious fox.

All living beings have different attitudes, if the prisoners of the Eastern Palace are disheartened and panicked, then the civil and military officials of the Shence Mansion are elated.

Although, they shouldn't be happy that the crown prince and King Qi rebelled, but thinking about the future, they couldn't help being happy.

"Shubao, we can really lie down and eat in the future." Cheng Yaojin held the rein in one hand and clenched his fist in the other, looking quite happy.

"Restrain yourself." Qin Qiong reminded: "You have never closed your mouth during this journey. Be careful not to offend the saint."

Although he is also very happy, he can't show it on the outside.

After all, it was the crown prince and King Qi who rebelled. These are the sons of saints. As a general under the command of King Chu, it is not appropriate for you to be so happy.

"Hmm." Cheng Yaojin closed his mouth and said in a low voice, "Shubao, are you not happy? When His Highness ascends the throne in the future, we will also be heroes from the dragon!"

Who can climb the fastest in the court, it must be Conglong hero!
They are also old brothers who were born and died together with the King of Chu. This time, they have made great contributions to the trick. In the future, they will be rewarded for their merits. At least they must be the Duke of the founding county!
Qin Qiong said: "Don't be careless, the big thing is still undecided."

As long as the king of Chu is not on the throne, he will not relax his vigilance for a day.However, now that there are no more princes who can threaten the status of King Chu, it is also a good thing that he will not have to make such dangerous moves in the future.

Thinking that when he went to Wannian, he had the belief that he would die.

Cheng Yaojin said: "You are right, we must not be careless at this last moment."

In front of the team, Li Yuanji, who was insane, was detained in solitary confinement.

Li Zhiyun rode on the horse, side by side with him, carefully observing Li Yuanji, wanting to see if he was pretending to be crazy or not.

After watching it for a while, I still can't see anything unusual.

He asked Yu Chigong next to him, "Is King Qi living normally these few days?"

Yu Chigong shook his head, "Reporting to Your Highness, I have never been normal, either yelling to kill someone, or talking nonsense like crazy."

"En." Li Zhiyun nodded slightly, without words.

In his opinion, if Lao Li hadn't been present that night, he would have ordered Li Yuanji to be shot dead.

The eldest brother is dead, what do you want to do if you don't die?

Speaking of Li Jiancheng, Li Zhiyun glanced back at the coffin pulled by the carriage, and shook his head slightly.Li Jiancheng also died a miserable death, being chopped to death by his dear brother.

The outline of Chang'an City has gradually appeared. Li Zhiyun looked at the majestic city with a smile unconsciously on his face.

He has kept a low profile for several years, and finally he is about to take over this thousand-year-old capital.

After returning to Beijing, the ministers had no time to rest, and their eyes were shattered by another piece of news.

The prince and the king of Qi sent dead soldiers to attack each other.

The masters and servants of the East Palace, the Qin Palace, the Qi Palace, and the three palaces are all dead!
Only the Chu Palace, because Princess Chu brought her family into the palace to accompany Concubine Wan Gui that day, escaped a catastrophe.

Of course, in addition to this, King Qin also had a daughter who was rescued by King Huaiyang and survived by luck.

Upon hearing the news, Princess Qin fainted on the spot.

Not long after, Lao Li also found out what had happened, and he vomited blood and fainted again.His body was already extremely bad, and he was hit one after another, and he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Inside the hall.

Li Zhiyun and Concubine Wan Gui knelt on the side of the couch.

Li Yuan managed to cheer up a little bit, and instructed Li Zhiyun.

"You have to investigate carefully, don't let anyone go, all the dead men in prison, all five horses, all!"

He spoke slowly, but full of murderous intent.

Not long after returning to the palace, he learned about the dead men and interrogated those people overnight, and the results he got were as expected.

One was sent by the prince, and the other was sent by the king of Qi.

They have the same purpose, to kill all the people in other palaces, so as to avoid future troubles.

If Concubine Wan Gui hadn't asked him for an order because she was not feeling well and asked Princess Chu and others to enter the palace to fulfill their filial piety, Li Yuan might not have had a grandson.

"Baby obey!" Li Zhiyun cupped his fists.
