First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 412 Li Yuanji Blocked

...

The matter was so important, Gao Chong didn't dare to delay, he immediately led Qiao Gongshan downstairs, when he got to the door, when he looked up, his footsteps stopped.

I saw Qi Wang Li Yuanji walking over with a playful face, followed by dozens of personal guards.

"Where is Gao Shaoqing in a hurry to go?" Li Yuanji raised his head with his hands behind his back, and looked at Gao Chong with interest, with a proper demeanor.

"I'm on official business, so I can't accompany you, King Qi please." Gao Chong was very rational, and naturally he would not go into conflict with Li Yuanji.

But Li Yuanji was obviously here to find fault. He stretched out his hand to stop him, and then looked at Qiao Gongshan, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Isn't this the Qiaogong Mountain in the East Palace? Why are you here? Come, come, His Royal Highness is in the palace today." Host a banquet, and we will go together."

As he spoke, he went forward to grab Qiao Gongshan's sleeve.

Gao Chong stepped forward to block it, "Lieutenant Qiao has now reported a major case, and I need to go back to Dali Temple with me, and I can't accompany His Royal Highness King Qi to a banquet."

"Gao Youzhi, get out of here." Li Yuanji had an unruly temper and never had a city mansion, but now seeing Gao Chong in the middle, he immediately became angry.

Gao Chong's smile restrained, "It is related to the serious case of Dali Temple, forgive me for being difficult to obey."

"Say it again, my king, I want him to follow me to see the prince," Li Yuanji said with a stern look in his eyes.

"The official said it again, it's hard to obey." Gao Chong was still expressionless, calm and calm, "Qi King has no right to intervene in the serious case of Dali Temple, please go back."

After Xuanwumen, there is only one dead person, since it is destined to be hostile, why save face for him.

For Li Jiancheng, Gao Chong somewhat respected him. After all, Li Jiancheng was gentle, sincere, and had some real skills.

But Li Yuanji has no ability, no character, no character, if it wasn't for Li Yuan's status as the first son of Li Yuan to make him flaunt his might, with his appearance, he wouldn't be able to find any old women in the village.

Li Yuanji's monkey-cheeked face twisted instantly, and he yelled angrily, "Gao Youzhi, you are looking for death", after he said that, he drew his knife and slashed at him, everyone was shocked.

"Your Highness can't."

"Lang Jun be careful."

Gao Chong's eyes were fixed, and he turned sideways, and he quickly struck out with his hand as a palm, hitting Li Yuanji's wrist, and Li Yuanji fell to the ground under the pain.

"King Qi, do you know what kind of behavior you are doing?" Gao Chong Dayi sternly reprimanded: "Draw your sword against the court officials in the street, do you want to rebel?"

Li Yuanji was just like mania, his eyes were red, "Gao Youzhi, this king is going to kill you, no one dares to disobey this king."

Gao Chong sneered, ignored him, looked at the guards behind him, and said in a deep voice: "King Qi is in charge, you'd better keep an eye on him, otherwise you will be blamed for what he did out of line." .

"Captain Qiao, let's go," Gao Chong lifted his legs and left.

"Bold..." Seeing Gao Chong ignoring him so much, Li Yuanji was furious. Just as he was about to pick up the saber, the guards behind him tried to protect it.

"Your Highness, calm down."

"Your Highness, don't make a big mistake."

When Gao Chong looked back, he couldn't hold back his laughter, but Li Yuanji was stopped by his personal guards.

Li Yuanji is impulsive and irritable, but his bodyguards are clear-headed. If Li Yuanji is allowed to do something outrageous in the street, Li Yuan will be held accountable, and it will be their "improper bodyguards" who will be dealt with.

When he came to the Qin Palace, Gao Chong met Qin Wangfei's eldest grandson Wuqi, and told the whole story of the cause and effect. It happened that Qiu Xinggong, a hussar from the left side of the Qin Palace, and Li Junxian, the Zhonglang of the Zuofu, were on duty.

Both of these two are Li Shimin's confidantes, and they know their roots and backgrounds well. After discussing with Changsun Wuqi, Gao Chong asked them to dispatch troops, raise their vigilance, and strengthen the defense of Prince Qin's mansion, so as to ensure the safety of Prince Qin's mansion.

Unless Li Jiancheng jumped the wall in a hurry, completely tore his face, and rebelled, it was unlikely to directly attack the Qin Palace.

After setting up the defense of King Qin's Mansion, Gao Chong ordered his personal guards to go to the Imperial City Political Hall to inform his father of the matter. On the one hand, he sent people back to the mansion to bring his grandmother, mother, wife and children to King Qin's Mansion, just in case. With the strength of the Qin Palace, even if Li Jiancheng raised his troops, it would be enough to last for a period of time.

Before Li Jiancheng could react, Gao Chong returned to Dali Temple and briefly explained the situation to Sun Fujia. Sun Fujia was shocked and angrily accused Li Jiancheng of being an accomplice.

Seeing Sun Fujia's reaction like this, Gao Chong knew that he had read the right person, and hurriedly asked Sun Fujia to lead the servants of the Dali Temple out of the city together, and went straight to Binzhou Station to guard the evidence.

Just as they were about to leave the city, suddenly a cavalry force of thousands of men rushed towards them from the street behind them at high speed. Gao Chong's face changed suddenly, and Sun Fujia's face was also pale. They thought Li Jiancheng had put all his eggs in one basket.

"Yuzhi wait a moment, wait for a certain family", I saw Yiqi rushing out of the battle, his voice was rough and very loud.

Gao Chong took a closer look, and his face immediately became happy, "Don't worry about Sun Shaoqing, it's Cheng Zhijie from the Qin Palace."

The person who came was Cheng Zhijie, the head of the horse army in the first left house of the King of Qin's mansion, followed by Gongsun Wuda, the hussar of the third right mansion of the Qin King's mansion, and the two led an army of one thousand horses.

"Yizhen, Wu Da, who are you?" Gao Chong asked suspiciously, if he didn't know that Cheng Zhijie was Li Shimin's loyal confidant, Gao Chong might turn around and run away.

"The princess is worried that you don't have any soldiers, so Xuanling just went to the palace to be on duty. After some discussion, I asked someone and Wu Da to lead the troops to support me." Cheng Zhijie grinned and said, "We will listen to you as you say."

Gao Chong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "How dare you send troops out of the city without a transfer order?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhijie waved his hand indifferently, and said loudly: "This is a trivial matter. The princess has ordered Xuanling to write the transfer order. Just ask the King of Qin to stamp the letter later."

Gao Chong's jaw almost dropped when he heard the words. This group of people acted in a wild way. It's hard to see that Changsun Wuqi and Fang Xuanling had such courage at the critical moment.

"Okay, without further ado, follow me to Binzhou post, be sure to intercept this batch of ordnance and keep the physical evidence."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Gao Chong will naturally not be indecisive, the sky has fallen and there is a tall man to support him, anyway, the military strength of the Qin Palace is like Li Shimin's private soldiers, and he is at Li Shimin's disposal.

The crowd rushed out of Chang'an City at full speed, and went straight to Binzhou Post a hundred miles away.

As the news spread, there was an undercurrent in Chang'an City.

In the imperial city, in the political affairs hall, Gao Junya, Chen Shuda and other on-duty prime ministers were shocked when they heard the news, and immediately took measures to strictly order the three provinces, six ministries and twelve guards to handle their own affairs and not act rashly.

When the news that Gao Chong and others led the army out of the city reached the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and others were even more flustered.

"Why didn't you stop him? Didn't you know that batch of ordnance was invisible?" Li Jiancheng changed his usual gentle image and roared at the terrified Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji lowered his head and clenched his fists, his eyes were stern. He was actually intimidated by Gao Chong just now. Thinking of this, Li Yuanji was ashamed and indignant.

"As long as Gao Chong is stopped and the armor is transported back first, there is no evidence, and everything is still in time," Prince Zuo Shuzi Pei Ju sighed.
