    Chapter 89 The War between Sui and Tang Dynasties (19)

    Chang'an City has a curfew, and there are teams of Jinwu Guards soldiers holding copper sticks everywhere. No pedestrians are allowed to appear on the streets, but there is no prohibition in the square and they can pass at will.  w w w . . c o m

    Yang Jun left Yanshoufang on horseback and headed towards the palace, but not far out of the gate, a group of Jinwu Guards soldiers stopped him.

    Because Yang Jun was wearing official uniform, the Jinwu Guards soldiers did not capture him immediately. The first captain said coldly: "No matter who he is, anyone who violates the curfew order will be arrested. That means the Prime Minister must return home."

    Yang Jun took out the silver medal and handed it to the captain, "I have this, can I pass?"

    The school captain took the "Qi Wang Ling" and rushed to ask for instructions. He came back soon, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

    The soldiers moved out of the way, and Yang Jun urged his horse to run north. He went through three interrogations in a row, and had to confirm each time. It took him nearly an hour before he arrived at the East Palace.

    The front of the East Palace is also heavily guarded. Three thousand Yulin troops guard the East Palace extremely tightly. Inside the East Palace, Xue Wanjun and Luo Cheng each lead 300 guards to protect the Xiande Hall where Li Jiancheng is.

    Yang Jun had a special token to enter the East Palace, and the journey was smooth. He soon arrived at the steps of the Xiande Hall, but was blocked by Luo Cheng.

    Although Luo Yi surrendered to the Sui army in Hanzhong, Luo Cheng was not implicated by his father. Li Jiancheng still trusted him and appointed him as a guard general. Together with Xue Wanjun, he became the two generals guarding Li Jiancheng.

    "Does Yang Xima want to see the prince?"

    Luo Cheng cupped his hands and said sincerely: "These are extraordinary times and we cannot meet the prince casually."

    Yang Jun hurriedly said: "The matter is of great importance. I must see the prince. I have urgent matters to report to His Highness the prince."

    "Please wait!"

    Luo Cheng went in to report. After a while, he came out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please invite Yang Xima in."

    Yang Jun hurriedly walked into the Xiande Hall. At this time, the Xiande Hall was brightly lit. Not only was Prince Li Jiancheng there, there were also more than thirty important ministers loyal to Li Jiancheng, including Pei Ji, who originally had a feud with Li Jiancheng. Because of the King Qi incident,  He also came together with Li Jiancheng.

    The ministers were taken to the East Palace by Li Jiancheng to avoid possible disasters. Li Jiancheng finally reached a compromise with Yulin General Sun Shunde. Although Changsun Shunde did not obey Li Jiancheng's orders, out of duty, Changsun Shunde still agreed to send 3,000 troops to protect them.  East Palace, this shows Changsun Shunde's neutral stance and does not support the mutiny.

    In this way, the East Palace became relatively safe, and Li Jiancheng brought his close ministers to the East Palace for protection.

    In the study, Chai Shao, Wang Gui and other ministers were discussing countermeasures with Li Jiancheng. The final annihilation of King Qin's army made their hearts extremely heavy. However, King Li Yuanji of Qi still wanted to go against the grain at this time and frantically wanted to usurp the throne.  , also aroused the anger of the ministers. Now they are not trying to defend the Tang Dynasty, but to maintain the final dignity of the Tang Dynasty.

    Li Jiancheng also had an intuition that since the Tang army had been defeated, King Qi would no longer wait for King Qin to enter the city. He would most likely take action today and tomorrow, which made Li Jiancheng very nervous.

    At this time, a eunuch reported at the door: "Your Highness, Yang Xima is here!"

    "Let him in!"

    Among the thirty or so ministers that Li Jiancheng brought into the East Palace, there was no Yang Jun. This actually shows that Li Jiancheng's attitude towards Yang Jun has excluded him from his circle of confidants, and it also shows that Li Jiancheng has deep distrust of Yang Jun.  .

    But Yang Jun didn¡¯t know that more than thirty ministers were in the back hall. He came in from the front hall and didn¡¯t see these ministers. If he had seen them, his mood would have been extremely complicated.

    Yang Jun quickly walked into the study, bowed and saluted: "My humble minister, Yang Jun, is here to see Your Highness!"

    "Yang Xima is exempt from courtesy."

    "Thank you, Your Highness!"

    Yang Jun had just straightened up when Chai Shao next to him interjected strangely and asked: "There are strict military patrols outside, how can Yang Xima come here?"

    This sentence reminded Li Jiancheng, and he looked at Yang Jun strangely. He also wanted to know the reason, how could Yang Jun come here?

    Yang Jun sighed and told the story of his brother Yang Rong's visit to him, but he concealed the news that Li Yuan had passed away. Yang Jun didn't know whether this was true or not, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

    After saying that, he took out the silver medal and presented it with both hands, "Your Highness, this is why I was able to pass through the Jinwu Guards all the way. Please take a look at it."

    Li Jiancheng took the token and took a look at it, his expression suddenly changed, heChai Shao looked at each other, and both of them had nervousness in their eyes. If King Qi ordered a curfew and Duan Decao carried out the order, there would be no problem, but the problem is that King Qi has the privilege of passing, so he can take a King of Qi Ling.  If they can travel unimpeded, wouldn't the King of Qi's brave private army also be able to travel smoothly in Chang'an?

    This shows that Duan Decao has begun to lose his bottom line and has gradually become the lackey of King Qi. Li Jiancheng asked again: "Your brother said that King Qi will take action tonight. Does that mean he is going to attack the East Palace?"

    "Brother Weichen doesn't know the specific plan. He is not a core figure, but according to the order he received, all three thousand brave men will be dispatched at three o'clock tonight, and it should be to attack the East Palace."

    Li Jiancheng nodded, "You have done a good job on this matter, go down and rest first!"

    "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I will take my leave now!"

    As soon as Yang Jun went down, Wang Gui, who had been silent all the time, said: "Your Highness, what this person said is a bit strange."

    "What's weird?"

    Wang Gui sneered, "Does Your Highness think that people like Yang Rong could see the secret list of King Qi's murders? And this 'King of Qi's Order' is actually made of silver. It is distributed according to levels. The gold medal is held by King Qi. How much should the silver medal be?"  For a core figure, a character like Yang Rong can only get one bronze medal at most, but he actually took out two silver medals and generously gave one to his brother, doesn't His Highness find it strange?"

    Li Jiancheng nodded. What Wang Gui said did make sense. He stared at Wang Gui and said, "What do you mean?"

    "We can speculate that this is actually King Qi's plan to use Yang Jun's mouth to tell His Highness something."

    Li Jiancheng frowned and asked in confusion: "But what did he say? It doesn't make any sense! Of course I know that King Qi will take action either tonight or tomorrow night."

    Chai Shao next to him clapped his hands, "I understand!"

    Li Jiancheng and Wang Gui looked at him together. Chai Shao snorted loudly, "The King of Qi deliberately used Yang Rong's unimpeded access to misunderstand us, making us think that Duan Decao had surrendered to the King of Qi."

    Chai Shao picked up the Qi Wang Ling and said coldly: "If I'm not wrong, this side of the Qi Wang Ling is conditional. Maybe only two sides can pass. As for bravely taking to the streets, it is definitely not allowed.  ."

    "General Chai is right."

    Next to him, Wang Gui also added: "It is not easy for King Qi to attack His Highness. The East Palace is tightly guarded by Yu Lin's army, and he can't get in at all. If he leads a brave attack, it will attract more Yu Lin."  Jun, then how can he attack His Highness? There is only one way to lure His Highness out, such as into the palace."

    Li Jiancheng understood. He nodded and said: "So the King of Qi used Yang Jun to send me a message that Duan Decao had surrendered to the King of Qi. This made me believe that the King of Qi would use Duan Decao's army to launch a mutiny. Perhaps his bravery  We can attack the East Palace unimpeded, right?"

    "exactly!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a guard outside the door reported urgently, "Inside the palace, someone from the palace is coming with an urgent message!"

    Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao looked at each other, they seemed to be working together in perfect harmony!

    Li Jiancheng walked out of the hall quickly. A eunuch was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Li Jiancheng coming out, he jumped on his knees and cried, "Your Highness! The Holy One has collapsed."

    Although Li Jiancheng knew there was fraud, the sudden news still made him extremely sad. Tears fell and he collapsed on the steps. He suddenly covered his face and burst into tears. At this time, in the back hall,  Dozens of officials also came out after hearing the news. When they heard that the Holy Emperor had passed away, they burst into tears together, and the entire Xiande Hall was filled with mourning.

    The eunuch cried again: "Your Majesty has passed away, and there is no one in charge of the harem. Your Majesty's body is cold on the bed. I beg you, Your Highness, to go down and take care of His Majesty's funeral affairs."

    Chai Shao nodded, "Go back, His Highness will be here soon."

    The eunuch wiped away his tears and went back to the palace to report. Chai Shao and Wang Gui quickly picked up Li Jiancheng and helped him back to the study. At this time, Chai Shao whispered: "Your Highness, please don't be sad. This must be a false letter to deceive Your Highness into entering."  Palace, the Holy One is probably still here.¡±

    Li Jiancheng sighed, "Although I know it is King Qi's plan, hearing this news still makes me sad."

    "Your Highness, this is human nature, but we can't be sad now. We must discuss countermeasures. I suggest you use the plan."

    Li Jiancheng walked quickly to the map and studied the route to the palace. He wanted to know where King Qi would ambush to deal with him.

    At this time, Wang Gui pointed at the Xuanwu Gate with his finger, "Your Highness, it must be at the Xuanwu Gate!"

    "Why?"

    "The reasons are very simple. First, the shortest way from the East Palace to the Inner Palace is through Xuanwu Gate. His Highness is very anxious."?The Xuanwu Gate is the most likely, and secondly, the Forbidden Garden outside the Xuanwu Gate is where the Yulin Army is stationed. Since His Highness has received partial support from the Yulin Army, it is more likely that His Highness will go to the Xuanwu Gate, so Wei Chen almost dares to assert that  , the ambush was hidden inside the Xuanwu Gate, waiting for His Highness to enter the palace. As soon as His Highness entered the Xuanwu Gate, they would immediately close the palace gate and isolate the Yulin Army.  "

    "But Xuanwumen is also guarded by the Yulin Army, so what do you mean?"

    Wang Gui sighed, "Have you forgotten, Your Highness? Princess Qi's brother Yang Yanqing is also a general in the Yulin Army. Even within the Yulin Army, the King of Qi can be bribed."

    Li Jiancheng put his hands behind his hands and thought for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is because he is crazy. If he doesn't give his father a good death, don't blame me for being cruel."

    Having said this, Li Jiancheng turned around and told Chai Shao, "Immediately go to the Yulin Army Camp in Forbidden Garden, find the eldest grandson Shunde, and tell him that my father has passed away and I need his support."

    [The book will end next week, and Lao Gao is also very emotional. I hope everyone can continue to support the Three Kingdoms written by Lao Gao. I recently read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and discovered that Lao Luo has hidden a lot of things in it. It is really not easy to understand the Three Kingdoms.  ¡¿
