Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 154 Your Majesty, get on your way!

Only then did Li Qing remember that his sister was not the kind of person who could talk on paper, but a woman who had proven her strength in history.

After all, she was a woman buried with military honors. Looking at the feudal dynasty for thousands of years, she could not find such a woman.

"Okay, very good. I have a female general at home, and I actually forgot about it." Li Qing sat up excitedly, "My wife Xiuning has the appearance of a great emperor..."

"Poor talk." Li Xiuning rolled her eyes at him.

Speaking of this, Li Qing suddenly had an idea: "Hey sister, do you want to be the queen?"

"Not interested." Li Xiuning smiled, "You won't have freedom after becoming the emperor. I would rather be with you every day than working with documents every day."

"Really?" Li Qing looked at Li Xiuning suspiciously. Is there anyone really not interested in being the queen?

"If you don't believe me, touch my heart." Li Xiuning took Li Qing's hand and placed it on his heart.

"How about it, can you feel my sincerity?"

"I don't know if you are sincere or not," Li Qing sniffed, "but it is really big."

"Begging for a beating!" Li Xiuning raised her fist, but she didn't actually hit him.

Li Qing immediately begged for mercy with a playful smile.

"That's true. You see, your Erlang was busy dealing with government affairs all day long. He had to spend some time with his wives and children..." Li Qing spread his hands, "What do you need?" I would say that Si Zi has completely inherited the Queen’s strengths, otherwise it would be nice if he doesn’t grow up like Shu’er because of his caring attitude.”

"I think you prefer Sizi." Li Xiuning smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, who doesn't like cute little girls? I also want to have such a cute daughter." When Li Qing said this, his back molars were almost broken.

I hope Lao Li can meet his own will-o'-the-wisp boy-in-law!

"Why do you keep worrying about other people's babies? You want..." Li Xiuning turned over and sat on Li Qing's body, leaned down and breathed Rulan into Li Qing's ear: "If you want, my sister will give birth to you."

"I want ten!" Li Qing immediately became energetic.

Li Xiuning reached out and pulled out the golden hairpin on his head and put it aside. Black hair fell like a waterfall on Li Qing's face.

"Okay, as long as you want, you can have twenty or thirty."

……

In the first year of Tianyou, August [-]th, Luoyang Palace.

In the Jiaodian courtyard, Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty Li Ye was leaning melancholy on the edge of the bed. He looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance melancholy, with an unstoppable desolation in his eyes.

More than half a year has passed since Tianyou was forced to come to Luoyang from Chang'an by Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong in the fourth year. During the past six months, he spent every day in fear.

His life has been full of wanderings. From being full of ambition after taking the throne to being full of panic now, fourteen years have passed since he was full of plans.

Of course Li Ye knew that after Zhu Quanzhong forced him to come to Luoyang, he had hinted or explicitly stated his Zen status more than once. However, Li Ye also had his own pride. Based on the principle that he was a descendant of Taizong and could not embarrass his old man, he ignored Zhu Quanzhong's hints several times.

This led to Zhu Quanzhong gradually losing patience with him. In addition, when he visited Fuxian Temple one day, he complained to Privy Councilor Jiang Xuanhui, why did Zhu Quanzhong, his beloved son of King De, have to depose him and put him to death? He kills.

After saying that, he not only shed tears of sadness, but also bit his middle finger until it was covered in blood.

Jiang Xuanhui, who was a close confidant of Zhu Quanzhong, of course told Zhu Quanzhong about this incident, and after Zhu Quanzhong knew about it, he gradually began to resent Li Ye.

Zhu Quanzhong's resentment was undisguised. Li Ye was certainly not stupid, but he did not want to bow to Zhu Quanzhong, a traitor.

At least the foundation of the Tang Dynasty cannot be lost to others in his hands.

"When will this day end..." He picked up the wine cup next to him and spoke in a low tone.

"Your Majesty..." Queen He couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at her husband, who was less than forty years old but already full of gray hair.

Influenced by Queen He, Li Ye couldn't help but shed tears. The two were silent for a long time, just sitting facing each other and crying.

"Stop talking, let's have a drink." Li Yeqiang persuaded Queen He with a smile and poured her a glass of wine with his own hands.

Queen He wiped her tears, raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

She knew there was no point in saying anything now. And all she can do is drink a few glasses of wine with her husband to relieve her depression.

In this situation, I simply don’t know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident. All that can be done now is to pray that Zhu Quanzhong can save some face and give them both a happy time when he kills the king.

With the depression in his heart, Li Ye also felt bored after drinking a few glasses of wine, so he went to bed early and fell asleep.

Living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming every day, I really can't live enough of this kind of life.

But he didn't know that Zhu Quanzhong, who could not bear his "ignorance of current affairs" at this time, had completely bared his fangs and sent Zhu Yougong of the Zuolong Wutong Army, Uncle Cong of the Youlong Wutong Army, and Jiang Xuanhui, the envoy of the Privy Council, into the palace to prepare for the murder. Jun.

However, Zuo Longwu Commander Zhu Yougong and Youlong Wu Commander Shi Shucong were more thieves than each other. They both knew that regicide would have no good consequences, especially if they rushed into the palace to kill the king, so they handed over this difficult matter to Jiang Xuanhui. , the two of them chose to lead their troops to "raid the formation" from behind.

Late at night, there was a knock on the door outside the palace.

"Open the door quickly. I am the Privy Councilor Jiang Xuanhui. I have something urgent to report to the emperor!"

Hearing the urgent sounds outside, the guard guarding the door couldn't help but wonder.

Is there anything I can urgently report to Your Majesty in the middle of the night? Who doesn't know now that His Majesty is just a puppet, and that the real power of life and death lies in the hands of Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong. If there is an emergency, you don't tell King Liang, but instead come to the emperor. Isn't this nonsense?

They were puzzled, but they didn't dare to neglect. It sounded like there were a lot of people outside, and there was probably something urgent going on.

Thinking of this, the guards discussed and decided to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, the people outside rushed in and forced the door open.

"What are you going to do?" the guard shouted in horror.

However, the only answer he received was a long knife.

After killing all the guards in the palace, Jiang Xuanhui ordered: "Mrs. Shi, go and lead people to seize all the palace gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Shi ordered, leading nearly half of the people to the various palace gates.

Hearing that something was not right outside, Li Ye's concubine Hedong Lady Pei Zhen opened the door and planned to check the situation. Seeing Jiang Xuanhui rushing over with a group of people, she couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why are you so busy coming to the palace in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know where your Majesty is now. I will report urgent military information to your Majesty!" Jiang Xuanhui's tone was not very polite.

After hearing Jiang Xuanhui's words, Pei Zhen looked back and saw that these people all had knives in their hands, and the knives were still stained with blood, and she couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart.

With such a big battle at this time, I am afraid that they will take action against the emperor.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhenyi also knew that he was determined not to survive, so he suppressed his fear and said to Jiang Xuanhui very seriously: "Even if there is something important that I want to report to Your Majesty, it won't require such a big battle." ? The report should be reported according to normal procedures instead of bringing a group of soldiers into the palace! The harem is full of women, so why would the envoy of the Chiang Academy make such a big fuss? "

"What nonsense are you talking to her about?"

At this time, Shi Tai, the tooth officer of the Longwu Army who had assigned guards, also rushed back. When he saw Pei Zhen blocking the group of people at the door, he raised his hand and struck with a sword.

"You..." Pei Zhenyi's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that they really did it like this.

Shi Tai drew out his long sword, and Pei Zhenyi fell to the ground softly. She covered the part where the sword hit her, blood foam gushing out of her mouth, and she stared at Jiang Xuanhui and Shi Tai.

"Bah, bad luck." Shi Tai spat harshly.

"Hurry up and leave." Jiang Xuanhui immediately picked up Shi Tai, who still wanted to make up for it: "Don't waste time on a dead man, remember the purpose of our trip, and hurry up to find the emperor!"

Shi Tai glanced fiercely at Pei Zhenyi, who was still staring at him, turned around and rushed towards Jiaodian Courtyard with his men.

When they rushed into Jiaodian Courtyard, they happened to see Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong opening the window to check the situation. Seeing this group of soldiers with fierce faces, they immediately understood what was going on.

She turned back to the chamberlain and the maids and shouted: "Let's go together and tell the emperor that these thieves have evil intentions and want to kill the emperor!"

"Where is the emperor? We have urgent military information and report it to the Holy One!" Jiang Xuanhui asked loudly.

Li Zhaoyi pointed at him and cursed loudly: "You traitor, I would rather die than let you kill the emperor!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the place where Li Ye was resting, hoping to tip off the news so that Li Ye could seize the opportunity and leave as soon as possible.

Jiang Xuanhui held down Shi Tai who wanted to pursue him. He was now looking at Li Zhaoyi's back with a cat-and-mouse mentality. No matter what happens today, everyone in the inner court will not see the sun tomorrow, so... let Li Zhaoyi run for a while, report the news to the emperor with hope, and then let her die with the emperor with despair, it would feel right How wonderful is it?

At this time, Li Ye was sleeping.

He dreamed of his time in Shaoyang Yuan. At that time, in order to prevent him from escaping, the eunuchs had the windows poured with molten iron. For daily meals, they dug a hole in the wall and stuck vegetables in.

Suddenly, he was no longer in that small and dark environment. The environment in front of him changed and turned into the days when Li Maozhen was stationed in Chang'an.

He made a small mill in the palace and grinded the beans and wheat by himself every day to drink porridge. He drank until he had no energy...

Suddenly, Zhu Quanzhong broke in and came to him.

Just when he thought he was about to be saved, Zhu Quanzhong suddenly raised the butcher's knife.

"Ah -" Li Ye was startled awake. He stretched out his hand and felt cold sweat on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Queen He was also awakened from her sleep. When she saw Li Ye breathing heavily, she reached out and stroked his back and asked with concern.

"No...it's okay..." Li Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, still in shock from the dream just now.

As the saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about every night. Now, Li Ye had no idea when Zhu Quanzhong would raise the butcher's knife to him and chop him down severely.

He regrets it now. He regrets it very much. The two things he did wrong in his life were mistaking two people.

One is Li Keyong, King of Jin, and the other is Zhu Quanzhong, King of Liang.

I thought that Li Keyong was the biggest traitor, but I never expected that in comparison, Li Keyong turned out to be the most loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Even though he led the Shence Army to fight with him and both sides suffered losses, he still remained loyal regardless of past grudges. The imperial court; and Zhu Quanzhong...Zhu Quanzhong was too capricious, and he was simply ambitious.

If it were possible to do it all over again, he would definitely not choose to fight to the death between Shence Jun and Li Keyong using his last possessions. Instead, he would choose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and provoke Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong, who already had their differences, to fight with each other. , while he sat on the sidelines and profited from the chaos.

But history cannot be repeated after all, and even if Li Ye regrets it again, there is nothing he can do about it.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Frightened shouts suddenly came from outside, interrupting Li Ye's thinking, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

He had an ominous premonition that tonight would be the day when Zhu Quanzhong would kill the king.

"What's going on?" he shouted.

Li Zhaoyi's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, run away! That traitor Zhu Quanzhong ordered people into the palace to plot against you! Pei Zhenyi has been killed..."

"What?" Li Ye couldn't help being shocked.

Although he had known that this day would come, he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Zhu Quanzhong couldn't help it.

He immediately fumbled for a piece of clothing from the bed. Regardless of whether he could put it on, he threw it on his body and ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes.

But at this critical moment, Shi Tai, who was running fast, also rushed into the hall, and the two of them bumped into each other.

Shi Tai was hit. He was about to get angry, but he saw that the person in front of him was Li Ye, who had been thinking about him day and night. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Isn't this just a credit to the person who brought him to his door?

"Your Majesty! Where are you going!" He shouted loudly and ran forward, intending to chop down Li Ye with a knife.

However, under the human instinct of survival, how could Li Ye sit still and wait for death? He also knew that his life was not very good all year round and he neglected to exercise, so he could not outrun Shi Tai, so he used the pillars in the temple as a cover and escaped around the pillars.

But how could he be Shi Tai's opponent when he was in panic? In his haste, he slipped and fell to the ground.

Seeing Shi Tai walking over with a ferocious expression and carrying a knife, Li Zhaoyi suddenly rushed in front of Li Ye outside, stretched out his thin arms, and used his body to buy Li Ye time to escape.

Mrs. Shi, who was eager to do meritorious deeds, didn't know how to show mercy, so she chopped Li Zhaoyi to the ground with one sword.

Li Zhaoyi fell heavily to the ground, one hand stretched out towards Li Ye with all her strength, her mouth opened and closed, and she could not make a sound, but Li Ye could see that what she said was clearly "Your Majesty, run..."

Shi Taijie sneered, stepped on Li Zhaoyi's back, and looked at Li Ye with a twisted face.

"Your Majesty, let's hit the road! The road to Huangquan is very bumpy. I will send you a few women to accompany you, so you won't be alone!"

As he spoke, he raised his sword high and pointed it at Li Ye, who was lying on the ground.
