Chapter 620 Three Places in the Palace

The founding father Nayan Pei Ji, Dr. Zuo Guanglu Huangmen servant Liu Zhenghui led dozens of civil and military ministers to wait at the gate of Xi Neiyuan City, waiting for the arrival of Yan Wang Li Xian.This situation can't help but remind people that not long ago, at the gate of this city, all civil and military officials greeted the coffins of King Qin and King Qi, and then a massacre started, and blood flowed like a river outside Xuanwu Gate.Not many days have passed, and another king is going back to the capital.

Xiao excused that the funerals of the Prince and King Qi were not ready yet so he did not come. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, from Shangshu to Yuanwailang, were all killed on the day of blood retention. The list of people prepared by the Ministry of Officials was submitted to the emperor, but it has not been confirmed yet Coming down, in order to appear grand, seven or eight of Li Yuan's concubine children came and stood at the gate of the city wearing royal clothes, which looked a little shocking.

Those who came to welcome Li Xian at the gate of the city today, among Li Yuan's concubine sons, the oldest one was 24 or [-] years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old.Their identities seem noble, but they are destined to be idle princes for the rest of their lives, not to mention touching power, as long as they can live out their lives in peace, everything will be fine.For the children of concubines, Li Yuan doesn't seem to have any sense of trust at all. Except for the dozen or so children who were killed by the acting king Yang You in Chang'an before the rebellion, there are more than twenty children of concubines. Powerful in hand.

Not trusting his son but trusting his courtiers, Li Yuan's thoughts are always difficult to torture.

Liu Zhenghui glanced at the kings standing in front and couldn't help but sigh.He has a very good personal relationship with Pei Ji, and now among the important officials in the court, there is nothing more powerful than him, Pei Ji and Xiao.But the impression given is that he is a person who doesn't have any opinions of his own, and he agrees with whatever Pei Ji says.Whatever Xiao said, he objected to it.But for such a person, the emperor has a very good impression of him. He has said more than once that there are few civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty who are as smart as Liu Zhenghui, and few are better at being an official than him.

He gently tugged on Pei Ji's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "The group of princes in front, but all of them together don't seem to weigh as much as the one who will come. You said that you will see Yan Wang Li Xian in a while, what are these princes doing?" greet?"

His voice was extremely low, so naturally he couldn't let others listen to such presumptuous words.

Pei Jibai rolled his eyes at him and said in a low voice: "Why don't you have a moment of peace in your mind? It's all a mess."

That being said, he was obviously also interested in Liu Zhenghui's boring idea of ​​waiting for King Yan to come.He thought for a while and said: "According to the identities on the surface, these kings in front are all nobles, so there is no need to salute King Yan, but there are obviously very few people who don't know about it until now. How can there be any of His Majesty's children?" Clumsy-minded? Thinking about it, it must be judged according to brothers, is King Yan nineteen or twenty this year? Speaking of which, most of them would call him elder brother."

"I think you are confused!"

Liu Zhenghui curled his lips and said: "Because none of His Majesty's children is stupid, they all know that they must not appear to have any restless thoughts at this time. They are destined to be idle princes for the rest of their lives. In this extraordinary period If you are too close and enthusiastic towards King Yan, are you not afraid of being suspected? In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, this is standing in line ahead of time if you want to get acquainted with King Yan who has a lot of soldiers in his hands!"

Pei Ji was startled, then nodded.Only then did he understand what Liu Zhenghui meant, and wondered why he hadn't thought of such an important matter.

"I see. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of this level."

"We must be considerate in terms of etiquette, but we must not be too enthusiastic in attitude."

Liu Zhenghui sighed and said, "Let's work hard and do things for His Majesty for a few more years. As for who His Majesty will pass on the throne to in the future, this is a private matter of the Heavenly Family. It's too late for us to hide. Don't rush forward by yourself. Right now." Among these people standing outside the door, which one do you know is His Majesty's eyeliner? I'm afraid His Majesty will already know clearly what kind of attitude we people have towards King Yan."

"Yeah... hide as long as you can."

Pei Ji nodded, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty has loosened his attitude towards King Qin, which gave some people hope. In fact, they are not to blame. Dao ideal is extremely simple when you think about it. Now besides King Qin, you can Who is it? It can't be the princes in front... Naturally, it can't be the one who will come."

"Don't Xiao Heizi think he has figured out the holy will?"

Liu Zhenghui chuckled: "But from the beginning to the end, who really guessed through the holy will?"

Li Yuan's attitude towards his concubine children was extremely indifferent, it was a bit too cold for outsiders to see.But he is the emperor, and no one dares to accuse the emperor of his fault.For example, Qin Wang Li Shimin led his troops to besiege the Xuanwu Gate to rebel not long ago. If such a serious crime were committed to those bastards, perhaps a hundred of them would be killed.But a few days ago, the emperor used the empress' serious illness as an excuse to loosen his tone. How can this difference as big as the sky not make people sigh with emotion.

"coming?"

At this time, Liu Zhenghui pouted forward in disbelief, looked towards the distance of the official road and said, "Really?"

The reason why he was so uncertain was because the people who came really made him unsure.A group of knights on the official road slowed down after being far away. Liu Zhenghui couldn't count the number of people after counting several times.

"Why... there are so few people here?"

"As expected of King Yan!"

Pei Ju let out a heartfelt admiration: "Dare to enter Chang'an City with only about [-] entourages in green shirts... This is beautifully done!"

……

……

The number of people is indeed too small, there are only eighteen swordsmen in blue shirts with thick backs and ring-headed swords tied behind their backs, one armored soldier carrying a huge machete like a door panel, and one Confucian shirt with an iron spear hanging from a victory hook. youth.Followed by two girls with red makeup, one with an umbrella and the other with a gun.This is all the entourage of Yan Wang Li Xian who entered Chang'an City, so few people can't believe that what they see is the truth.

The emperor himself promised that he would bring five hundred soldiers into the city because of the great contribution of King Yan.This can be regarded as a rare respected treatment since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that even when the King of Qin returns with his troops, unless His Majesty wants to see the prisoners, he can only bring a few personal soldiers into the city.When the emperor said these words that day, which of the important officials in the imperial study didn't feel overwhelmed?

But seeing that King Yan came with only 22 entourages strolling in the courtyard, the turmoil in their hearts became even more violent.

Xiong Jun is a big black horse that makes people feel palpitating, wearing a black shirt, followed by two delicate and beautiful girls, one carrying an umbrella and holding a knife, the other holding a gun and a sword, this is the iconic costume of King Yan.Seeing that big black horse, those two girls, those legendary stories jumped out of my mind.

Eighteen riders broke through the Goguryeo barracks on the east bank of the Liaoshui River, and the boy with the black knife led more than 2 soldiers from the government and traveled thousands of miles to fight back to the Central Plains. Zhi Shilang was disabled in the two wars, and Zhang Jincheng was slaughtered in the two wars. Wagang Xiongbing attacked Dou Jiande in the north and Du Fuwei in the south. With only [-] swordsmen in green shirts, they dared to enter Jiangdu at night to kidnap the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and even blackmailed a guard of elite soldiers and [-] warships.Even the relationship with the Turkic people on the grassland is difficult to guess, and some people even speculate that the Turkic saint on the grassland is his other confidante.

How wonderful and magnificent such a life is!

This is the king of Yan, and this is the king of Yan that the emperor said that the three Dou Jiande and ten Du Fuwei can't stand up to one.

23 cavalry come slowly, the speed is very slow, the entourage is so thin, no matter how you look at it, it is not in line with the current status of King Yan, but it is just these 23 cavalry, it seems that there is an momentum of thousands of cavalry walking on the ground .These 23 riders actually give people the illusion that they are invincible.

With a stone's throw away, Yan Wang Li Xian dismounted and walked.The 22 attendants behind him also dismounted. He didn't walk fast, but every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the people.With this simple action, I don't know how many people at the gate of the city got their palms wet and their heartbeats fluttered.

As expected by Liu Zhenghui, the princes standing in front did not show too much enthusiasm.It wasn't until Li Xian was only twenty steps away from the city gate that he greeted him slowly under the leadership of the oldest prince.

Pei Ji smiled knowingly, and said to Liu Zhenghui in a low voice, "I don't know how many people are beating their hearts, and how many people are sweating profusely."

Liu Zhenghui laughed at himself and said, "Others don't know, but my heart is beating."

"Why are you upset?"

Pei Ji asked.

Liu Zhenghui laughed at himself and said in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong, but I saw that King Yan seemed to be carrying thousands of troops behind him. I know that today is different from the past, but I can't help but think... ...Thirty thousand people died when the King of Qin entered the city, and more than a hundred people were beheaded by the courtiers...What happened when the King of Yan entered the city?"

Pei Ji was startled, sighed and said, "I hope everything is safe."

……

……

In the imperial study room, Li Yuan put down a memorial in his hand and raised his head to look at the person standing in front of him. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, then he shook his head and sighed: "It's beyond my expectation."

The person standing in front of him was Duguxue, the general of the prison guard, bowing his body and said: "The king of Yan only brought 22 followers and 300 guards. The elite of the sword guard camp. There are two sword guard battalions around King Yan, each battalion has [-] people. It is said that they are all masters in the Jianghu, and they brought one of the battalions when they entered Jiangdu City at night."

"There is also a young man with a huge sword on his back, who should be Leng Yi, the commander of the sword guard. It is said that this talent is 19 years old, and he is the king of Yan.
