Chapter 375 Endgame

"Your Majesty—" A melancholy and sharp female voice pierced the tranquility of the Hanqing Hall.Ever since Fenglu went crazy in Lenggong, this place has become Wei'er's residence.

Li Longji, who was reading in the warm pavilion, was disturbed by the long call, and immediately put on his coat and went out of the warm pavilion. Even Wei Er, who was sick under the heavy curtains, frowned. Shoes, want to come out and see what's going on.

In the past few days, Wei'er was seriously ill, and it was almost difficult to get out of bed. Li Longji came to Hanqing Hall from Jiaofang Hall to visit, but he didn't know it was so non-stop.

"Your Majesty—" Looking at the panic-stricken woman with disheveled hair, Li Longji felt great pain in his heart. He hugged her and said softly, "Chang Xi, what's wrong with you!"

"Ah!" Wei'er was also taken aback when she saw Chang Xi in such a mess!Not only was her hair loose around her waist, but she also lost a single shoe on her feet, and she was only wearing pajamas next to her body, and she hurriedly put on a big dress worn by a servant.

Chang Xi supported Li Longji's arm and cried: "Your Majesty! The prince forced the palace to rebel! Come to Jiaofang Palace...he wants to kill his concubines! He also wants to kill His Majesty!!"

"What!" In an instant, Li Longji's eyes were filled with red blood, his canthus burst and he said: "Lishi, go out and have a look!"

"No!" Gao Lishi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ran out tremblingly.

Wei'er hurriedly took one of her cloaks and put it on for Chang Xi, and ordered the maid to serve a cup of hot tea to calm Concubine Hui, and Chang Xi shivered in Li Longji's arms.

"What's going on?" Li Longji asked anxiously, gradually tightening his arms around her, hoping to stop her fear.

Chang Xi was speechless with trembling lips, Li Longji patted her on the back comfortingly, pointed at Xiao Zhao Zi who was also in a mess on the ground and shouted: "Come on!"

"Report to Your Majesty!" Little Zhao Zi choked up and said, "Tonight at [-] o'clock in the morning, the servant suddenly heard the loud shouts outside the palace gate, so he went out to take a look! Who would have thought... Who would have thought that it was the prince His Highness brought his [-] Yulin army to force the palace to rebel! The crown prince threatened to let the servants hand over the concubine Hui, who was disrupting the government, and said yes. He said that he wanted to clear the side of the king for His Majesty? Kill the treacherous concubine and the courtiers! The slaves were frightened Hurry up and close the palace door tightly, and let Qiongyu stay in the palace in the disguise of Concubine Hui, while he escorts her to come here from the back door to ask His Majesty for help!"

"It's so unreasonable! You bastard!" Li Longji gritted his teeth in hatred!If the crown prince brought troops to kill him, he still had a little doubt!After all, he had promised to pass on the throne to him, so he should also know his true meaning from Zhang Jiuling!Will not take the risk and force the palace to rebel!But what Xiao Zhaozi said was that he wants to clear the king's side!What is the side of the Qing emperor?Isn't it just to kill Chang Xi and Li Linfu!This is so in line with his current state of mind!

Gao Lishi ran all the way from outside the palace into the palace, clutching his crooked hat, panting non-stop.

Li Longji hurriedly asked: "How is the situation?"

Gao Lishi said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty! The whole palace is full of shouts of killing, and the words 'The prince forced the palace to rebel!' can be heard everywhere. There, also...E King Li Yao and Guang Wang Li Ju also led their troops into the palace, and then inspected the palaces one by one, as if... Seems to be looking for His Majesty's whereabouts!"

Chang Xi grabbed Li Longji's sleeve in horror, and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty! They are so inferior to beasts that they want to attack you!"

Ever since Li Longji heard Gao Lishi's last sentence, there was a buzzing sound in his head as if it exploded. After a while, he roared like a wounded lion: "These bastards! These bastards! I'm going to go out and kill them with my own hands. !"

"Your Majesty! You must not take the risk yourself!" Gao Lishi knelt on the ground and blocked Li Longji's way, begging.

Chang Xi also wept: "Your Majesty, please don't leave your concubine! Don't leave!"

"Your Majesty, General Hengyue will take care of it outside. Now the three princes are ambitious, you have to be careful of your own safety!" Wei Er also knelt on the ground and grabbed Li Longji's sleeve begging.

Li Longji staggered a few steps dejectedly, and sat on the mahogany chair behind him. He was not afraid!I'm tired!After so many years, he was forced to rebel again and again, and he was really tired!From my aunt Webster, to my aunt Princess Taiping, to my younger brother Xue Wang Li Ye, all came to force the palace and rebel!I thought I could take a rest, but my favorite son actually rebelled!Being an emperor is really tiring!
Seeing that Li Longji didn't speak, everyone naturally didn't dare to say anything. Chang Xi lay in his arms, tears rolling down like broken beads. After an unknown amount of time, he said calmly, "I'm sorry for you. It made you frightened!" Looking at the delicate woman in his arms, he felt very guilty, he said that he would protect her.

Chang Xi shook his head miserably, just as he was about to speak, Heng Yue had already entered the Hanqing Hall clutching his bleeding left arm.

"Report to Your Majesty! The traitors and ministers have all been taken down!" Heng Yue's voice cheered up the terrified maids in the palace, and Gao Lishi and Wei Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Longji didn't appear overly happy, but just asked, "Is your left arm okay?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The general is fine!" Although the armor on Heng Yue's body was stained with a lot of blood, it seemed that only his left arm was injured. He actually held His Majesty's Qingfeng sword! This is what made him cheap!"

"Qingfeng Sword?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Longji's mouth. He knew that King Shou gave the Qingfeng Sword to Crown Prince Li Ying. His pupils shrank slowly, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly: "Prince? From now on, there will be no more princes!"

This upheaval in the palace has affected everyone's emotions. It seems that everyone in Chang'an City knows an unspeakable secret: the prince forced the palace to rebel last night!Immediately, all kinds of conjectures and rumors slowly grew in the crowd, what happened to the prince rebelling against His Majesty?Will there be a change of dynasty?Is Concubine Wu Hui dead?Others said, Your Majesty is so heroic and has shattered so many coups, the crown prince is just a little green dragon, how can he beat the real dragon emperor?Those ministers who were usually very punctual stayed at home without any notification, and did not go to court. Everyone was waiting for the latest news from the palace.

In the Hanyuan Hall, Li Longji, dressed in bright yellow court clothes and wearing a crown that reaches the sky, sat majestically on the throne, looking down at the three sons kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

"Father! Father! We were wronged!" Li Yao and Li Ju screamed loudly, the crowns on their heads were all cut off, and half of their blood-stained faces were hidden by their loose hair, making them look more ferocious. .

Only Li Ying didn't speak. At this moment, what else can I say?He is confident that his enemies have blocked all retreats!But he is the only one who dares to look directly into Li Longji's cold eyes, he is not guilty!He really came to rescue him!
Li Longji's cold and heavy voice sounded in the empty hall, "Where are you wronged?" Today there are no civil and military officials, only him and his three biological sons!
Li Yao repeatedly said: "Father, we are really wronged! It was Princess Xianyi who came to the Prince's Mansion to tell the second brother that there were refugees forcing the palace to rebel, and begged the second brother to bring troops into the palace to escort him! We started the Habayashi army to enter the palace. Palace, father! We are really here to escort you!"

"Xianyi, come out!" Li Longji shouted, and the gorgeously dressed princess Xianyi Shi Shi came from the back of the palace, and the golden step rocker on her head made a pleasant dingdong sound following her small steps.

Li Ju pointed at her face in surprise, and stammered: "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Prince's Mansion?"

"Prince's Mansion?" Princess Xianyi looked puzzled, and said coldly: "Why am I in the Prince's Mansion? Myna, what do you mean by that! Do you imply that Gu also participated in this rebellion!"

Li Yao said angrily: "It was you who came to tell our father that the emperor was in danger, so the second elder brother would not hesitate to lead troops to rescue him!"

"Ridiculous!" Princess Xianyi sneered at first, then grabbed Li Longji's sleeve and cried: "I stayed at Huameiren's place all night last night! I was so scared by the rioting soldiers outside that I cried. The beauties and the palace servants of Wenchun Palace can testify that I have never left there!" After saying this, Princess Xianyi stood up again, pointed at the three kings on the ground and cursed: "You were so scared last night that you returned home alone!" Isn’t it enough! Today I’m going to scare Gu again! When did Gu rebel with you!”

Li Longji said coldly: "Xianyi back down!" Then Princess Xianyi returned to the inner hall along the jade steps with a low eyebrow.

"Is there anything else to say!" Looking at Li Yao's dejected face, Li Longji slowly uttered a word.

Li Ju did not give up and said: "Even if this is the case, what about the refugees who died outside the door! They are dressed in rags, and they are obviously thieves who entered the palace to commit crimes! What is wrong with the second brother leading troops to wipe out these thieves!"

"Thief?" Li Longji's pupils gradually shrank, and Gao Lishi finished the rest of the sentence for him, "General Hengyue inspected the dead bodies in various places in the palace today, and found that they were all Jinwu Guards and Habayashi Army wearing armor. What kind of refugees His Royal Highness is talking about!"

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Li Ju hissed wildly, "My second brother, my fifth brother and I saw it with our own eyes!"

Gao Lishi sneered and said, "His Royal Highness Guang Wang is probably dazzled, he may regard His Majesty's Jin Wuwei as a refugee!"

"You!" Li Ju stretched the heavy chain in his hand, made a rustling sound, pointed at Gao Lishi's face and cursed angrily: "You eunuch! Like that treacherous concubine and courtier, you are used to sowing right and wrong in front of your father. , Turn black and white! You will not end well!"

"Shut up!" Li Longji shouted, "I still don't want to repent even now! Someone told me this morning that you were the one who persuaded the prince to hold me hostage and become emperor last night in front of the Qinzheng building!"

Li Ju was startled, and then the bones of his whole body rattled, as if his soul had been taken away by someone, and he fell to the ground.

Li Ying smiled slightly, shocking everyone present, why would he laugh on such an occasion?Li Ying had a calm expression, and first kowtowed respectfully, "Father! You have always been the most admired person by my ministers!" A childish smile hung on Li Ying's face, as if this was not a father-son relationship Life and death are duels, but the prodigal son who has been traveling for several years finally returns home and embraces his long-lost father.

"I have always regarded you as my father in my heart!" Two lines of tears fell into the dust, "But I want to ask, have you always regarded me as a son in my father's heart?"

Gao Lishi clearly saw the man on the throne twitch suddenly, "Your Majesty!" He panicked and wanted to support him.

silence. .Endless silence.

After a while, he opened his eyes and slowly made his final decision.

"Abolish Crown Prince Li Ying, E King Li Yao, and Guang Wang Li Ju as ordinary people! Expel them from Beijing!"

Finally, Li Ying laughed, he still couldn't bear to part with his son!
