Chapter 660 Layout

The two troops who broke out and asked for help were wiped out. Li Yuan didn't even change his face when he learned about this. He didn't know what happened to the emperor today, but he was not angry at all.He just ordered the Minister of the Ministry of War to double the pension with an expression on his face. Whether it was someone who fled back and was shot dead by Zhang Gongjin's order, or who surrendered to the Yanyun Army, the pension must be issued to those who died in battle within two days. Soldiers home.

After finishing his orders, he got up and walked out of the imperial study room, walked out of the Taiji Palace slowly all the way, out of the Xuanwu Gate, and went directly to the gate of the West Neiyuan City. Liu Hongji, who hadn't stepped down the city wall for three or four days, rushed to greet him.Li Yuan was obviously taken aback when he saw Liu Hongji with disheveled hair and dirty clothes, then patted Liu Hongji on the shoulder and walked to the edge of the city wall.

He looked at the endless tents of the Yanyun Army outside the city, and was silent for a long time without speaking.

Liu Hongji didn't know what the emperor meant, so he just stood aside and said nothing.I don't know how long it took, Li Yuan let out a long breath, looked back at Liu Hongji and asked, "Hongji, if you want to see, when will Li Xian start to attack the city?"

"It won't be long, I guess, within three to five days."

Liu Hongji thought for a while and replied.

"yes……"

Li Yuan said with some emotion: "He always has to endure for a few days, and he has to make a show for the people in the city, for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even for the subjects of the world... He came to the side of the Qing emperor, not to rebel and seize the throne. Yes. He made a condition, although he knew that I would not agree, but he still had to wait for a few days, because he wanted to show that he was famous as a teacher."

"I heard..."

Li Yuan paused for a moment and continued: "There is a powerful firearm in the Yanyun Army, which can kill dozens of people in an instant if it is thrown into a crowd. Burning. I have never seen it, Hongji...you have seen it?"

"The minister has never seen it."

Liu Hongji replied truthfully.

"I don't know what kind of thing it is, and who came up with this heaven-defying method."

"It is said that Li Xian came up with it himself."

Hearing this answer, Li Yuan was obviously taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have 23 sons."

Before he could say the following words, Liu Hongji's heart was already trembling.The emperor said that he had 23 sons, but everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor had only 22 sons.

"His Majesty!"

He tried to stop the emperor from talking, but Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is no outsider here, Hongji, when you came to join me in Huaiyuan Town, Liaoxi, I treated you as my own family. You have a relationship with Jiancheng Shimin They are all very good, even Ning'er treats you like a big brother. I am only telling you what I said today, even Pei Ji and Liu Zhenghui have no chance to hear me chattering about this."

He looked at the Yanyun Army Company outside and continued, "I have 23 sons, four sons."

After saying this, he paused for a while, giving Liu Hongji a period of time to react.Liu Hongji is not an idiot, he is even much smarter than ordinary people.When the emperor finished saying this sentence, he immediately reacted, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.His face turned pale instantly, his hands couldn't help shaking violently, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"King Yan... King Yan... isn't it?"

Liu Hongji asked subconsciously, his voice trembling.

He didn't know why he asked this sentence, and for a moment he felt a chill on his back.

"He is not."

The emperor nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was particularly bitter: "At this moment, I hope he is! I have 23 sons, and the eldest son is mature and prudent. He handles everything carefully and smoothly. I let him lead the army again. Although he is a little green in front of the battle, it still satisfies me. I intend to train him so that he can inherit my family business. "

"The second son, Shimin, grew up alone in an old house in Longxi. Although he was neglected in discipline, he learned martial arts to passable. He is a self-disciplined person. But now I understand that this self-discipline is just an appearance. The time he lived alone After a long time, it is inevitable that he will become rough-tempered, and he will want to grab what he wants but can't get, and try his best to grab it, in fact, this temperament... is very suitable for being an emperor."

"The third son Xuanba has been sick since he was a child. The queen prayed to the Buddha for many years and the Buddha did not take care of him. Only after his health improved, he thought that when the disaster was over, he fell off his horse and died."

"Old Si Yuanji has a wilder temper than the people of the world. I remember that when he was young in Huaiyuan Town, Liaoxi, he would say that people should be killed if they are not used by me. I was very angry and asked him where he was. He also plausibly said the words he learned from the Book of Later Han Dynasty. He has such a temperament and is not only self-disciplined. I said that he will suffer from this sooner or later, but he did not expect to suffer such a big loss. He even lost his life. It's..."

Li Yuan said in a calm tone: "But speaking of it, the four of them are not as good as Li Xian. If Li Xian is the same... I really thought about passing the throne to him. But the first time I saw him At that time, I knew that he was not... All the servants in the old house in Longxi died. According to the news from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they were killed by Liu Wuzhou's remnant soldiers. Before entering Chang'an City, he knew that he was not. So after entering the city, all his performances were acting."

Regardless of whether it was Liu Hongji or the emperor, neither of them named Li Xian from the beginning to the end.

But this was not the case, which shocked Liu Hongji even more.

……

……

"I really regret the wrong thing I did back then, but since it has already been done, it is useless to regret it. When I just found out that Li Xian is the child I lost back then, I was really happy. Said Let the queen know that she was crying happily, and even her illness has improved a little. I have been looking forward to his return, and the queen is also looking forward to his return. When I finally came back, I realized that all this was just a trick. What a dumb joke!"

"Xuanba, Yuanji, and Jiancheng left me one after another. I, a white-haired man, actually sent away three black-haired men one after another. There is only one Shimin left. There is still a big mistake. I really moved my mind at that time." , if there is no one among the heirs of Jiancheng who is suitable to take over this burden, I will give him the throne!"

"That's why I recalled him to Chang'an City. I really wanted to see him. When I saw it, my heart became cold. He's not...he's not..."

Li Yuan laughed nervously, revealing endless desolation and sorrow.

"I know how the queen died. She was already dying of illness and only hoped that she would have a chance to see her own flesh and blood again before she died. I wanted to satisfy her, but I didn't expect that I would kill her."

"It's so similar...Even if the queen is confused, how can she not see it? Seeing the return of the son I had been looking forward to for a long time, I found that it was not at all...The queen suffocated her breath and died. "

"He's just a villain!"

Li Yuan's tone suddenly rose, and even became sharp: "When I first met him, I told him that what I can give him will not be without him, but what I can't give him should not be given to him." .But he was not satisfied, and kept staring at my seat. Such a person... why should I think about the family relationship?"

After saying this, Li Yuan looked back at Liu Hongji fiercely and said word by word: "So... Hongji, don't have any scruples, if you have a chance to kill him, don't be merciful. It's useless for me to want such a rebellious son, If the people of the world do not come back, I will pass the throne to Jiancheng's heir!"

Liu Hongji swallowed hard and swallowed the bitterness in his mouth.

"I understand!"

He finally understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

Now people inside and outside the city, not only civil and military officials, but also the common people almost know that King Yan is the emperor's son.Therefore, no matter who they are, the generals who lead the troops to defend the city will have scruples.Even if King Yan was rebelling, even if such a serious crime was enough to be executed quickly, he still didn't dare anyone to kill him, because he was the emperor's son, and no one except the emperor dared and couldn't have this idea!

After Li Yuan said these words, Liu Hongji understood.

The emperor now wants King Yan to die.He could even imagine that the emperor's intestines must be green with regret now.When King Yan was invited back, he would never have imagined that it would be like this.

The emperor would never tell himself such secret and shocking things for no reason, so Liu Hongji was careful from the beginning.He understood that if King Yan hadn't rebelled, the matter would have rotted in the emperor's stomach, and he wouldn't tell anyone about it. If King Yan didn't know about it, the emperor would undoubtedly hide it from him, so that King Yan lived in the beautiful fantasy that he was the emperor's son all day long.But now, it's time for this secret to be revealed.

"Li Xian came from a reckless background. He likes to stand at the front in every battle. If the Yanyun bandits attack the city, he will definitely command in person. If there is a chance, you will find a way to lead the army to fight back and kill me at all costs. he."

Li Yuan left a word, turned around and walked down the city wall.

Liu Hongji bowed his body to send him down, and when he was about to go down the city, the emperor suddenly stopped, without turning his head, and said in a cold voice: "I heard that you have said a lot of nonsense in the past two days, and there are many disrespectful and untrue things. But I don't want to argue with you about this, you can do it yourself."

If the emperor was showing his sincerity before, then now he is showing his prestige.

Liu Hongji knew that the emperor wanted his absolute allegiance.

"I understand!"

He bowed his head, in his heart
