Chapter 804
Li Shimin continued to practice calligraphy peacefully in the hot spring palace.

Li Jiancheng, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief, a bit confused in the palace.

As the father of the two, Li Yuan, who is also Emperor Li Tang, felt very heartbroken because of the two sons' mutual criticism.

But just when Li Yuan was worried, Pei Ji, who was guarding Chang'an, sent someone to tell Li Yuan urgently.

As soon as the news came out, Li Yuan couldn't believe it. As far as he knew, Li Chongjiu had just finished his expedition to the Turks for only two months, and his vitality had not recovered.Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were exhausted, but the northern part of the grassland was uncertain, Goguryeo Ulji's culture and morals were unstable, and Song Jingang was fighting Lin Shihong in the south.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Chongjiu to send troops to attack Li Tang at this time.Based on Li Yuan's understanding of Li Chongjiu, he would not suddenly send troops to a decisive battle with him before he was ready, which was quite different from his usual cautious and prudent style.

Therefore, judging rationally, Li Yuan did not believe that Li Chongjiu sent troops to attack Tang, but on his desk, the letter from Li Shentong was convincing.Li Yuan has always trusted Li Shentong very much, even though he has repeatedly lost soldiers and generals, so Li Yuan has no doubts about what he said in his letter.

In March, Chang'an City has come to the time when the rain is falling.

The morning rain drenched the yellow dust on the street.

The morning drum in Chang'an City seemed to sound a little late today, and the people in the various workshops who were about to go out urged them for a long time before the Fang Ding slowly opened the gates of the workshops.The people were surprised to find that the streets of Chang'an today seem to be somewhat different from those in the past.

Marquis Wu, who got up early in the past, had already been patrolling the streets on horseback at this point, but today it was Chang'an's Nanya imperial guards who patrolled the streets.All the streets are heavily guarded, facing Zhuque Street, the gates of several princes' mansions are tightly closed at this moment, and an unusual undercurrent is surging in Chang'an City.

A carriage drove out from Tiance Mansion, followed by a few guards from Prince Qin's Mansion, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Hou Junji were all in the carriage.

Fang Xuanling said slowly: "Yesterday's assassination of Yang Wengan was already a failure, and it was saved by others."

After hearing this, Hou Junji sneered and said, "Gongsun Wuda, it's really surprising that the slain soldiers of the Qin Palace who Liu Shili trained for many years still missed."

Fang Xuanling said: "Things are indeed strange. This should have been a foolproof assassination, and Qiao Gongshan was able to survive from the Jingshui boat. I guess the two are not coincidences."

Du Ruhui said: "That's right, Chang'an is not just about the King of Qin and the Prince's two families singing opposite roles."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Yes, I understand, but these are not important to the overall situation."

"Yes, since yesterday, the rumors we fabricated have spread in Chang'an. Li Chongjiu led an army of 20 Hu and Han troops to dispatch from Youjing, cross the Taihang Mountains and head towards Pujin. Now all the civil and military ministers have believed this News, we have an imperial decree invited by the King of Qin from the Son of Heaven, the forbidden troops inside and outside Chang'an, and the defenders are all controlled by us, and now we have firmly controlled the inside and outside of Chang'an." Du Ruhui said slowly from the side.

"Right now, Chang'an belongs to King Qin, and no one can change the sky."

After hearing this, Hou Junji's tiger eyes flickered and said: "Then the two military advisers, we have already controlled Chang'an, what should we do next, is it to besiege the Hot Spring Palace?"

"No," Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "This is the worst policy. There are five thousand Beiya imperial guards on duty in the Hot Spring Palace. After all, the emperor is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If we directly point the finger at the emperor, it may cause soldiers to panic." Fluctuations, even the confidantes of Prince Qin's Mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to stabilize."

Du Ruhui said: "Jun Ji, don't you know? The King of Qin is also in the Hot Spring Palace, attacking the Hot Spring Palace, what if it is not good for the King of Qin?"

Hou Junji said angrily: "If I had known it earlier, the King of Qin would have taken the emperor's edict and directly reversed it. Why listen to the emperor's call and go directly to the hot spring palace. Now it is a hostage, and we will move our hands, but we will be timid."

Fang Xuanling said: "Jun Ji, you don't understand King Qin's painstaking efforts. King Qin won't get a tiger cub if he doesn't enter the tiger's den. If King Qin didn't go to the Hot Spring Palace, His Majesty would have doubted all our arrangements. On the contrary, now King Qin One day in the Hot Spring Palace, His Majesty will not suspect us for one day, and we have enough time to arrange it secretly."

Hou Junji said: "You two military advisers, anyway, you have a reason. I'm a rough man, so I can't say anything about you, but if the King of Qin has any troubles, I, Lao Hou, will be the first to let you go. Next, what should you say? ? Enter the hot spring palace to find a way to ask Qin Wang for instructions?"

Fang Xuanling said: "No, the King of Qin is under heavy surveillance now, and he will not send any news from the Hot Spring Palace. As for the next step, we will kill the prince and King Qi, and we will succeed."

Du Ruhui said: "Yes, we must directly kill the Crown Prince and King Qi without alarming the Holy Majesty and the King of Qin, and then remonstrate with the Son of Heaven, in order to succeed."

Hou Junji said: "You two stop singing and playing charades. How can you not disturb the Holy Majesty and the King of Qin, and kill the Prince and King Qi? If we are in the Hot Spring Palace, we have nothing to do. Once the soldiers and horses leave Chang'an City, Then the Hot Spring Palace will know."

Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "Of course, so we can't do it in the hot spring palace, we have to do it in Chang'an. We want to invite your majesty and the prince, King Qin back."

Du Ruhui said: "Junji, that's why we asked Li Shentong to spread rumors that Li Chongjiu led an army to attack Chang'an. What do you say His Majesty will do next after hearing the news?"

"Of course, Your Majesty is returning to Chang'an immediately from the Hot Spring Palace to sit in town," Hou Junji asked with a shock at this point, "Are you planning to intercept and kill the prince on the way?"

Du Ruhui said: "It's not halfway, it's no different from being in the hot spring palace. The place where we want to do it is to choose this Chang'an City. We have already selected the place."

"Where?" Hou Junji asked nervously.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both laughed and said nothing, at this time the carriage outside stopped slowly and someone outside said: "Fang Chang Shi, Xuanwu Gate has arrived."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Okay, let's get out of the car!"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the majestic tower in front of him.

The bells in Chang'an City echoed leisurely.

On the hot spring palace in Mount Li, night had already fallen, and Li Yuan paced in the palace and meditated for a long time before saying, "Preach my will!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhongshu Sheren began to plan a move on the shore.

Li Yuandao: "I will return to Chang'an tomorrow and call Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and Feng Deyi into the palace. I have something important to announce!"
