In the Daming Palace, Li Heng looked at the clock next to him with a gloomy face. Because he didn¡¯t want to stay in Xingqing Palace and think of his father, Li Heng moved to Daming Palace after he officially ascended the throne. Although Daming Palace is more dilapidated than Xingqing Palace, and the last major renovation was more than forty years ago, at least there are fewer traces of Li Longji here. However, although he did not want to recall Li Longji and did not like Ye Chang, he did not hate the desk clocks that Ye Chang presided over the invention and Li Longji purchased in large quantities. The craftsmanship of Chinese craftsmen is far superior to that of any other country in this era. In the more than four years since the official release of the table clock, although its style has not changed significantly, it has become more sophisticated and even has a mechanical time reporting function. Half an hour has passed since the agreed time, which is commonly known as one hour among the people. After the desk clock became popular, the people called the original hour one hour, and the half-hour marked by the desk clock was called one hour. This can make timekeeping more accurate. An Lushan made Li Heng wait for an extra hour, and also made his heart hang for an hour. "Your Majesty, here we are, here we are, An Lushan's chariot has arrived in front of the palace." Just when the depression in Li Heng's heart was getting deeper and deeper, Cheng Yuanzhen ran over quickly and said. Li Heng sighed slightly and began to miss Li Jingzhong. Cheng Yuanzhen has been following him for a long time. After Wei Jian and others were eliminated by Li Linfu, Cheng Yuanzhen became his main confidant. But Cheng Yuanzhen's intelligence was limited, and he couldn't help him much at that time. He just did some tricks secretly. Later, Li Jingzhong was brought to his side by Gao Lishi. Originally, Gao Lishi wanted to place an informant around him, but he underestimated Li Jingzhong's ambition, so Li Heng finally got a capable conspiracy figure. Perhaps it was because there were few such figures around him before that Li Heng relied heavily on Li Jingzhong. However, during the New Year's Eve coup, Li Jingzhong was stabbed to death by Shou'an with a dagger. "It would be great if Li Mi were here. Li Mi is resourceful and he will definitely have a way to solve the current problem. Li Heng felt a little regretful and did not reuse Li Mi. When Li Mi resigned, he was so proud that he did not even try to persuade him to stay. So when it comes time to hire people, there is no one available. "It doesn't matter. Previously, it was because An Lushan, a Hu slave, was in charge, so I couldn't arrange the manpower well. After today, Quan will come out from me and send someone to ask Li Mi again. Coming out of the mountain is" Thinking of this, he said to Cheng Yuanzhen: "Go and greet me, be careful. " "Yes, the slaves are doing things, the saints just don't worry. "Cheng Yuanzhen grinned and walked out quickly. His words not only did not reassure Li Heng, but made his heart beat even harder. As soon as Cheng Yuanzhen left, Guangping Wang Li and Jianning Wang Li appeared on the side , Li Heng smiled slightly when he saw his two brothers. "What he was most proud of was having these two sons. If the situation hadn't been turbulent after he ascended the throne, he would have wanted to change the title to the second king and choose his eldest son. In fact, Li Heng clearly remembered that when King Guangping was young, Li Longji went to the East Palace to see him, and King Guangping was by his side. At that time, Li Longji smiled and said, "There are three sons in one room." Obviously, , Li Longji also favored King Guangping. His position as crown prince has been shaky in recent years, but he has never been defeated. To some extent, it is also because he has an outstanding son. The "father" King Guangping looked at Li Heng with a worried look. He saluted and said, "Li Bi wants to see his father. " "Li Mi? Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard the name: "I was just thinking about him, and he came Please entertain him for me. After I finish my business, I will see him in person." " "Father, Li Mi please see me now. Seeing that his brother was hesitant in speaking with a bit of timidity, King Jianning could only say: "He said that if my father meets An Lushan, then such a big thing will be over." " "Why does this mountain man say dangerous things again? "Li Heng was very unhappy. At this time, An Lushan had already arrived in front of the palace. It was impossible for Li Heng to find another time, so he said: "I am busy here, so you can treat him politely on my behalf. "My son is brave and has already brought him to the palace. My father only needs to call him into the palace." "King Jianning said again, "You two." Li Heng was slightly angry, but thinking that Li Mi had always been very loyal to him and that he was very resourceful, he finally sighed: "Okay, call him quickly, I He could only be given a quarter of an hour. " After a while, Li Mi came in. Li Heng looked at the time on the clock and said to Li Mi with a smile: "I am not deliberately neglecting it. It is really a matter of state. Please keep the story short. " "I am stupid, but I know that An Lushan will have a disloyal heart when he returns to Beijing this time. Your Majesty, instead of taking responsibility, ordered Zhang Jun to welcome him, which must also mean to get rid of him. With An Lushan surrounded by Yan Zhuang and cunning, Liu Luogu well-informed, and Ji Wen and others helping him, how could An not know His Majesty's plans? "Li Bi did not delay and went straight to the topic: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, we should leave the capital." When Li Heng heard that he wanted to get rid of An Lushan, he had already stood up with a look on his face.Li: "Where did you get the news?" As he spoke, he looked at the two kings Guangping and Jianning. The two kings looked surprised. Obviously, the news was not spread by them. In fact, Li Heng also knew that An Lushan was well-informed, so he did not reveal the plan to eliminate An Lushan from the two kings. Only his true confidants knew about it. "I guessed it, but no one told me. If I can guess it, Anlu Mountain must be able to do it, so I have prepared for the thieves to be safe. Your Majesty, it is not too late to leave the capital for a while while he is in the palace." Li Heng's expression It's dismal. If it's true as Li Mi said, aren't his plans and plans all a joke? "Where can I go? Where can I go without Chang'an?" He murmured. Unlike Li Longji, when he left Chang'an, he was afraid that a county magistrate would arrest him and send him to Li Longji, and there would be no place to receive him and shelter him. Li Bi also understood this, so he said: "Your Majesty, you can go and surrender to the Emperor." "What? Your Majesty Your Majesty you are asking me to die." "The Emperor and Your Majesty are father and son after all. The Emperor has always loved Guangping and Jianping. Ning Erwang, even for the sake of the two kings, the Emperor will not embarrass His Majesty too much. Your Majesty only needs to admit his mistake and apologize, and the Emperor does not want to cause trouble in the past, Yang Guozhong and King Yong. Both of them are dead, so why should Your Majesty worry so much? "Even if your Majesty spares my life, I will not be imprisoned in the cold palace until death You need not say any more, I have made up my mind, and my life must ultimately be in my hands." . " What Li Mi said is indeed the most likely. In fact, after this coup, there are not many surviving heirs of Li Longji. The most he can do is depose Li Heng as crown prince and then imprison him. But Li Longji After all, Heng was not desperate yet. Although Li Mi said that An Lushan must know his plan, people always have luck in their hearts. "Your Majesty" "It's getting late. In order not to make An Lushan suspicious, I will do it now." go out. "Li Heng shook his sleeves and stepped away. When the two kings of Guangping and Jianning saw this, they knelt down, hugged Li Heng's feet and cried: "Father, just listen to what you said." "I'm here. Now, the arrow is on the string and must be fired. "Li Heng signaled the warrior inner prisoner to pull the two away, and then walked to the door, where he stopped again: "Mr. Li, what you said is not unreasonable, but Ican't turn back. "Your Majesty," Li Bi said in a trembling voice, "You can still turn back" "I have something to ask of you. You can take the two kings Guangping and Jianning out of the palace immediately. If everything goes well with me, you can come back and see me again." I, if if there is any accident, you can take them to surrender to the emperor. Although I am guilty and the two kings are innocent, if I come to the emperor I will make them rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives. " "My son is willing to follow your majesty." King Jianning saw this situation, stood up, wiped his tears and shouted. "My son is brave and brave, quite like Taizong and the emperor, but I don't need you for this matter. "At this time, Li Heng didn't know whether he was reflecting on himself or having wisdom in his heart. He smiled slightly and said: "You guys, escort the second king out of the palace." The few Forbidden Army warriors who were lit by him responded and came to The two kings Guangping and Jianning and Li Mi were still waiting for further persuasion, but Li Heng turned around and said: "If we continue to delay, there is still a glimmer of hope, but even this last glimmer of hope is gonethat's you. It hurt me. " At this point, there is no point in persuading. Li Biqing knew that the matter was irreversible, so he could only reduce the losses as much as possible. He held the hands of the two kings: "The matter has come to this, and we can only follow His Majesty's arrangements ¡The two kings quickly follow me out of the palace.¡± They left the Daming Palace through the north gate. Outside the north gate, there were dozens of cavalry to meet them, but it was the manpower arranged by Li Mi - he was originally ordered to raise Li Heng to death outside Chang'an City. Although most of the soldiers were taken away by Ye Chang and Yang Guozhong, some were left behind. They had just mounted their horses and heard the sound of horns and the sound of horse hooves behind them. Li Bi's expression changed drastically: "Quickly go" and everyone whipped their horses and whipped them. Not long after leaving, they saw a group of people chasing them out from the north gate. However, they were prepared and ran on horseback. The people chasing them were infantry, and only a few of them had horses, so they did not dare to continue. Seeing this situation, no one knew that Li Heng's "big plan" had failed after all. Li Bi sighed and burst into tears. The two kings Guangping and Jianning next to him burst into tears. Did the king escape? "In the Daming Palace, An Lushan sits high on the throne. His body is too fat, and the huge throne seems to be a little too crowded. "Yes, he was taken away by Li Mi a step too late. They were prepared for it. " An Lushan chuckled and glanced at Li Heng who was kneeling next to him: "Li Heng, you are a bit clever, but where can they go? " Li Heng remained silent. He ambushed the swordsman in the palace. He originally wanted to control An Lushan and seize his military power. Then he appointed his close confidants as generals and negotiated with Li Longji to see if he could All charges against coup d'¨¦tatGo to An Lushan. But what he didn't expect was that An Lushan directly led his troops into the palace and killed Yu Jingjing, his swordsman and axe-hand, and even he was ordered to kneel in front of An Lushan. This was a great shame and humiliation, but Li Heng had to endure it silently. He didn¡¯t want to die. Although he knew An Lushan would not let him go, he still had a sense of luck: at least now, An Lushan still needed his name to do something. ¡°Before, he hoped that An Lushan could defeat Ye Chang, but now he hopes that Ye Chang could defeat An Lushan¡ªbeing imprisoned by Li Longji is better than being tortured and killed by An Lushan. "Going north, we must be going to Jingyang. If someone comes, send cavalry to chase them. Don't let them escape. If you don't catch them, use your own head to count." After giving the order, An Lushan looked at it again Li Heng's face became more sarcastic: "Your Majesty, do you want to rebel?" Li Heng heard these words very familiarly. "You are nothing more than a prince, and your life in the palace is precarious. If it weren't for me, not to mention the throne, or even your life, Yang Guozhong would have killed you a long time ago. I supported you to ascend the throne. Not only are you not grateful, but you colluded with the traitors. You want to harm me Sure enough, you are such a wolf-hearted person. No wonder you want to usurp your father's throne. "You" Li Heng was furious and wanted to retort, but when he met An Lushan's eyes, his momentum suddenly disappeared. Just give him another chance. He was so brave that he didn't dare to scold An Lushan at this time. He looked around, hoping that someone among the officials could come out, but what disappointed him was that whether it was Zhang Pei, his consort who had already taken refuge with him, or someone else. Chen Xilie, who was promoted to serve as an official after he ascended the throne, remained silent. As for Wang Wei, Wang Jin, etc., who were originally forced to take official positions in his court because they did not escape Chang'an, they all bowed their heads now. , as if he knew nothing. But he didn¡¯t expect that most of the officials who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and had backbone were killed on his own orders. The remaining ones here were either half-hearted or arrogant. ¡°Why. , are you also waiting for a loyal minister to come out? "An Lushan smiled ferociously again: "Just give up on this idea. Zhang Jun has told you all your plans. Even I think you are shameless." "General An ordered me to be killed when he wanted to kill the king. Why should he insult me ??too much?" "Li Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore and said. "Is it too much to humiliate you? Zhang Jun, crawl over here and tell me what the emperor is going to do and what he is going to do after he seizes my military power." Zhang Jun's face was pale and trembling. He really crawled over and said, "I want to I want to replace King Yan with Wang Zhong. "What's more, if I just replace me with Wang Zhongsi, how is he going to deal with the old emperor and Ye Chang?" Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to say anything, and the warrior beside An Lushan immediately glared with his sword. He hurriedly said: "I want to cede Anxi to Quanrong, Longyou to Huihe, Liaodong to Bohai and Xinluo, Jiannan to Liuzhao, and borrow troops from various tribes to besiege Ye Chang" "Bah, Also, the children of these places, the gold, silk mountains, rivers and fields, all belong to the various tribes. The Tang Dynasty is willing to become a brotherly state with all the countries I bah bah bah." An Lushan saw that Zhang Jun did not say anything, so he said it for him: "This is your plan." At this time, the officials around him, although many of them were shameless people, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard this. If it weren't for Zhang Jun's confession, everyone would hardly believe that Li Heng could come up with such shameless conditions for losing power and humiliating the country. An Lushan was originally a shameless person, but now he saw a shameless person who could be compared with him. He couldn't help but despise Li Heng.
