Liuli sighed Youyou, she is very intelligent and intelligent, how could she not know that the prince already had the answer in his heart, and sighed Youyou: "Your Highness, none of this is your fault, you...!"

The crown prince shook his head and said, "As the heir of the empire, I have seen the empire fall, but I have been silent all the time, Liuli, do you really think that there is nothing wrong with this palace?"

"Your Highness...!" Liuli hesitated for a while with a beautiful face of worry, and finally said: "My concubine dares to say that the Holy Majesty is obsessed with cultivating Taoism and doesn't care about political affairs. This... this is not something His Highness can persuade. .”

The prince smiled bitterly and said: "When I was studying, I heard the teacher say a lot of truths. There is one sentence that I still remember deeply. I knew that I could do it... Throughout the ages, there are many such righteous people. I admire them in my heart, but When the matter came to an end, I kept my mouth shut. If I had persuaded him earlier, it might not have resulted in today's results."

"Your Highness, you understand in your heart that no one can stop His Majesty's desire to seek Tao...!" Liu Li said softly, "The Empress is a person who understands righteousness. It's useless. The Holy One wants to live forever, and if he falls in love with it, no one can make him turn back."

"Yes." The crown prince sighed: "Ninth Five-Year Lord, the power is all over the world, who is willing to let go, and who doesn't want to live forever?" His eyes deepened, and seeing Liuli hesitate to speak, he said: "Liuli, You have something to say, but it’s okay to say it, you have no taboos in front of me.”

"Your Highness, the Holy One is on a tour of the north, and now he is in Hexi, and political affairs are hard to deal with. The great Qin country must rely on His Highness to turn the world around." Liuli pondered for a while, and finally said: "Now that the southeast is lost, the Tianmen Road is just a stone's throw away from the capital. Yao, Your Highness...Does Your Highness want to stick to the capital, or...or leave the capital and temporarily avoid the sharp edge?"

"Leaving the capital?" A smile appeared on the prince's lips, shaking his head and said: "I will never leave the capital. General Lei will guard the southeast until his death. How can I escape in embarrassment? Although my legs It has been abolished, but this heart has now recovered. The world of Daqin is not owned by him alone. This Daqin country was fought down by countless soldiers with their blood and lives. At least I have also contributed. The country will be destroyed." Shen Sheng said: "Where is Zhao Quan?"

Zhao Quan, the commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, was guarding outside. When he heard the call from the Prince, he immediately came in and respectfully said, "Your Highness, I am here!"

"Prepare to drive. I want to go to Qinshui and sit in front of the town." The prince looked stern, "Back then, my palace traveled north and south, killed countless people, and encountered countless enemies. Now the mere Tianmen Dao wants to destroy my Daqin. Really! Fantastic...!"

"Your Highness...!" Liuli hurriedly said: "You...you are not in good health, how can you rush to the front line at this time? And the imperial doctor has already said that you need to recuperate in the mansion...!"

"The country is almost in danger, what's the use of this body?"

Zhao Quan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, once you leave the capital, what will happen to the capital? General Miao sits on the front line and leads elite soldiers, and he will certainly be able to defend against the Heavenly Gate. This important place in the capital is even more important. Your Highness, you must not leave. Only you...Only you can restrain the capital, in case of accidents...!"

The prince frowned upon hearing this.

Of course he understood what Zhao Quan meant. Although he was the supervisor of the country and the princelings controlled the capital, this did not mean that the capital was very stable.

He is very clear that there are quite a few enemies of the princelings. Although he has eliminated most of them with lightning methods, there are always fish that slip through the net, and it is impossible for him to wipe out all the enemies in a short period of time. These people are lurking in the capital. , Just like a poisonous snake, once there is a loophole in the princelings, he believes that these people will not let go of the opportunity.

What the capital is facing is not only external troubles, but also internal troubles. Tianmen Dao can face off head-on, but the enemies hiding in the dark in the capital are hard to guard against.

Now that he is in the capital, Wujing guards the entire city under martial law, he can still restrain the capital, so that there will be no major disturbances, but once he leaves the capital, he is afraid that all the forces hiding in the dark will take the opportunity to show up, and he naturally does not Forget, outside the capital city, the cries of countless refugees can be heard in the city every day, and many people who come from the southeast have already entered the capital city and are distributed in various places in the capital city. Who can guarantee that among them? There is no internal response from Tianmen Dao.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice from outside, "His Royal Highness, there is turmoil in the west city...!"

The man didn't dare to enter the hall and only reported outside, but his voice was very loud.

The crown prince was stunned, Zhao Quan immediately turned around and went out, not long after, he came back with a dignified expression, and said: "Your Highness, a fire broke out in the Qing'an Taoist Temple in the west city, and someone took the opportunity to make trouble."

"Qing'an Taoist Temple?" The prince frowned.

The emperor believed in the Tao of Longevity, and built a large number of Taoist temples in various parts of the empire. Luo'an, the heart of the capital city, naturally built many Taoist temples. There are more than a dozen Taoist temples in the large capital city. In various parts of the capital, although the scale is far smaller than that of Tongtian Daoist Temple, they are also very magnificently built, and a large number of Taoist priests of longevity are filled in many Taoist temples.

Although the crown prince didn't have the slightest affection for these Taoist priests, and even had a heart of disgust, he didn't dare to attack the Taoist temples lightly. After all, each of these Taoist temples had a plaque inscribed by the emperor's imperial pen. The emperor made trouble, and the emperor was still the emperor of Daqin, so the prince naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Your Highness, just before dawn, a fire broke out in Qing'an Taoist Temple. It is said that fires broke out in more than a dozen places in the entire Taoist temple at the same time. The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were trying to save their lives. Fighting the fire, we rushed to the Taoist temple, and killed everyone we saw. When Wu Jingwei rushed there, he also clashed with that group of people. Now there is chaos there, and Wu Jingwei also killed and injured many people."

There was a stern look in the prince's eyes.

Of course he already understood that the fire in Qing'an Taoist Temple did not happen by accident, it must have been carefully planned by someone. There were more than a dozen fire sources in the Taoist Temple at the same time. If it hadn't been planned in advance, such a situation would never have happened.

"Pass down the order of my palace to mobilize the Wujing Guard in Xicheng and rush to Qing'an Taoist Temple, but there is no mercy for those who make trouble, and they will be killed without forgiveness." , Immediately arrest, and anyone who resists will be killed immediately."

Just as Zhao Quan was about to retreat, another voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness, a fire broke out in Nancheng Changle Taoist Temple just now, and someone took the opportunity to rush into the Taoist temple and kill wantonly."

The prince's eyes began to twitch.

He knows that there are hostile forces in the capital, and he has always been careful. Today, he was planning to go to the front line to sit in the town, but what Zhao Quan said made him realize that the capital might be more dangerous than the front line. He had already decided to stay in the capital to prevent the capital from happening. There was turmoil, but people didn't leave, and this turmoil turned out to be as soon as it was mentioned.

The Qing'an Taoist temple in Xicheng and the Changle Taoist temple in Nancheng were on fire almost at the same time, and at the same time someone rushed to the Taoist temple to commit murder. At this time, he had already confirmed that there was a terrifying opponent in the capital who was secretly manipulating all of this.

"How is the situation in the imperial city?" The prince asked in a deep voice, "Is there any movement in the imperial city?"

The imperial city is located in the center of the Luoan capital, and it is a city within the city. It has always been guarded by Xuanyuan Shao's royal guards. Patrol, with guards on the side, [-] guards, most of which were transferred away, and now the entire imperial city, but nearly [-] guards are left to garrison.

Although the emperor and empress had left, there were many nobles in the palace, and they all stayed in the palace. Once there was chaos in the palace, the entire capital would be completely in chaos.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is no movement in the imperial city, and the four doors are still closed."

The prince nodded slightly. When Xuanyuan Shao left, he left behind his most trusted Xiaowei Zhanyi to lead the guards to guard the imperial city. The prince had already sent an order to Zhanyi. , are not allowed to enter or leave at will, anyone who wants to enter or exit the imperial city must first obtain the permission of the crown prince.

"Send someone to send an order to Zhan Yi immediately. The four gates are strictly guarded. No one can come in or out. Tell Zhan Yi to let him pass the word to all parts of the palace. No matter who he is, stay in his own palace and not leave the palace. Anyone who disobeys, no matter what. identity, arrest them immediately, and send them to this palace." The prince looked stern, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me not to say anything, the whole city is banned, and from now on, everyone will go home. Anyone who walks on the street will be punished as treason." .”

Chi Buyan was the commander of Wu Jingwei. After Huang Tiandu followed An Guogong's clan, Ma Zhongheng succeeded as the commander of Wu Jingwei. Control is in your hands.

The crown prince is very clear that the confinement at this time is likely to arouse the resentment of the people in the city, but the opponent has already made a move, and it is obvious that he wants to cause chaos in the capital. Be decisive and react quickly.

……

……

A fire broke out in a Taoist temple in the capital, and some people took the opportunity to make trouble. The news was naturally sent to Xu Congyang immediately. As the head of the Zhongshu Provincial Committee, Xu Congyang had not replied for a long time, and he lived and boarded in the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen.

Not far from the imperial city, there is a big street, spacious but dense. This is an important place for military aircraft, and it is also where the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen is located. In the spacious courtyard, Xu Congyang has toiled a lot every day, and now he looks more and more old.

King Qi disappeared from the capital, and of course Xu Congyang also knew the news. He knew that King Qi was involved in a lawsuit that falsely accused Qiu Junyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Insufficient strength, although King Qi was under house arrest, Xu Congyang also knew that instead of letting King Qi compete with the prince in the capital, at this time, being under house arrest in the palace may not be a bad thing, but then it was reported that King Qi had absconded. This surprised Xu Congyang.

There is no news about King Qi, but he doesn't have much energy to continue looking for news about King Qi. The empire is at stake, so he can only focus all his energy on political affairs.

The crown prince supervises the country, but because of his disability, Xu Congyang has to take care of many specific affairs.

Knowing that there was a fire in the Taoist temple in the capital and someone was murdering, Xu Congyang also keenly knew that the matter was serious at the first time. At this time of crisis, he could only try his best to assist the prince and help the prince to overcome the current predicament. When other provincial officials heard the news, they were all the elites of the empire, and of course they understood what was going on, and many of them had already changed their colors.
