    Chapter 16 The decisive battle with Xuanwu Gate (3) Li Yuan took a long breath and woke up leisurely.  His body seemed to have lost consciousness, making his whole body seem to be floating in mid-air.  The sudden change in the Suzaku Sect was beyond Li Yuan's expectation.  In one night, he lost his two best sons and even the heir to the Tang Empire.  This is a result he never thought of!  So the moment he heard the news from Li Xuanba, his whole body seemed to collapse and he fainted on the spot.  Opening his eyes and looking at the curtain floating in the air, Li Yuan's mind went blank.  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A familiar voice rang in his ears. Li Yuan turned around and saw the familiar face of Tian Feng.  However, this face is not as rosy as before, and is as pale as a piece of white paper.  "Tian Feng, you" "Your Majesty, you finally woke up." "How long have I slept?" "Your Majesty, you have slept for two whole days." For a frail old man, it is painful.  The blow of losing his beloved son was simply unbearable for Li Yuan.  In fact, in the past two days, Li Yuan had woken up several times intermittently.  But due to the trance, the whole person was in extreme weakness.  The imperial doctor had no choice but to use medicine to make Li Yuan fall asleep completely.  At least this will help restore Li Yuan's energy.  Two days?  Li Yuan struggled to sit up, and Tian Feng quickly stepped forward to help him.  "Old Tian, ??what time is it now?" "To answer your Majesty, it has just passed Yin Shi By the way, King Zhao and Master Yuwen came several times, but they were afraid of disturbing Your Majesty, so they only stood for a while and then left. Your Majesty, would you like to  Is this old slave going to inform King Zhao? "The prince has told me that as soon as his Majesty wakes up, he must inform him as soon as possible that he has urgent matters" Perhaps because he had slept for two days, Li Yuan seemed particularly awake at this time.  He waved his hand and looked around, "Where is this?" "Your Majesty, this is the Ganlu Palace." The Ganlu Palace is located on the central axis of Chang'an Palace.  The layout of the palace city forms a unique central axis from Chengtian Gate to Jiade Gate, Taiji Gate, Taiji Hall, Mingmen, Liangyi Gate, Ganlu Gate, Ganlu Hall, Yanjia Hall, Chongxuan Gate and Xuanwu Gate.  Among them, Taiji Hall is the main building of the palace, while Ganlu Hall is no longer so important.  Exiting Ganlu Hall, to the north is Yanjia Hall, Chongxuan Gate.  Exiting Chongxuan Gate, where Xuanwu Gate is located, and exiting the palace city from there, you can reach Xiyuan.  Logically speaking, even if Li Yuan is resting, he should be in the Tai Chi Hall.  Now he is placed in the Ganlu Hall, the meaning of it Li Yuan is not a fool, how can he not understand the mystery of this?  He closed his eyes, and the soaring flames of Tai Chi Palace kept appearing in his mind.  "Father, the second brother suddenly rebelled and killed the prince and Sanhu outside the Suzaku Gate" "What?" "Father, the second brother was about to attack Chengtian Gate, but he was stopped by his ministers. Just in  In the chaos of the battle, he accidentally missed, and the second brother" Li Yuan still remembers Li Xuanba's words. ? If it is said that at that time, he was so angry that he did not realize the strangeness in it.  So now calm down and think about it carefully, and you will find many problems.  Li Yuan thought he knew Li Shimin fairly well.  Li Shimin¡¯s staunch temperament would never admit defeat easily.  Therefore, Li Shimin's sudden attack was unexpected, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be reasonable But Li Yuan couldn't understand why Li Xuanba suddenly appeared in Chengtianmen.  Logically speaking, Li Xuanba and Li Shimin are one and the same. With Erlang's current strength, it is not easy to launch a coup.  After all, the Imperial City Forbidden Army was in the hands of Li Xuanba If Li Shimin had not notified Li Xuanba, he would not have dared to launch a sneak attack on Li Jiancheng.  Once you figure this out, all the doubts seem to become clear at once.  Queen Taimu left him five sons!  Except for his youngest son Li Zhiyun who was killed as early as the Yining period, Li Yuan always thought that Xuanba was good at military affairs and Yuanji was a playboy.  The truly ambitious ones are Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.  So all this time, Li Yuan's attention has been focused on these two sons.  But now it seems that he seemed to have thought wrong None of his sons are easy-going. Li Xuanba looks straightforward, but if it comes to deep scheming, I'm afraidOn the other hand, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were a bit smarter.  This son is the real careerist Li Xuanba arranged for Li Yuan to recuperate in Ganlu Palace, which seemed considerate, but actually revealed a message.  Dad, it¡¯s time for you to quit!  Tai Chi Palace is no longer suitable for you But I still need you to support me from behind. What to do, you decide for yourself!  What a good means and a good plan!  Li Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly sneered.  "How is the situation in Chang'an now?" "Your Majesty, it's quite peaceful But I've been serving you here, so I don't know much about it." "Youwere injured?" "It's just a flesh wound, it's nothing.  I was afraid that someone would disturb His Majesty's rest, so I kicked everyone else out. If Your Majesty needs someone, I'll go right now" "Forget it, I guess it's not convenient for you now." Li Yuan smiled.  , raised his head and glanced at the empty hall.  "Where is Sanlang now?" "King Zhao still lives in the palace" "This treacherous son still knows the importance." Li Xuanba's current identity has not been established, so naturally he cannot live in Taiji Palace, and it is impossible to live there.  In the East Palace.  From this point of view, Li Xuanba is quite self-aware.  Li Yuan said that he knew the importance, and it was precisely for this point.  His hands were clenched into fists.  Li Yuan stood up and wanted to take two steps.  But a feeling of dizziness hit him, causing him to stagger a little. Tian Feng quickly supported him.  "Masters, what's going on?" After Li Yuan asked this question, he immediately realized that he had asked the wrong person.  Tian Feng has been staying in Ganlu Hall, and I am afraid it is difficult to move So if you want to inquire about information, Tian Feng is definitely not the right person.  "Your Majesty, I have heard some news from other people." "Oh?" "Chang'an City is relatively calm. It is said that the elders are doing their own duties, but there is not much reaction." "Those  Old fox, you are just waiting for me to express my position" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid it won't be long before they ask for support for the traitor. By the way, you just said that the city is calm. Could it be that something happened outside the city.  What's going on?" Tian Feng seemed to hesitate, and then replied after a while: "Lao Nu heard some news that night when King Qin acted, King Zheng seized military power in Luoyang and captured Weinan yesterday.  I heard people say that King Zheng has issued an imperial edict to attack King Zhao, and it seems that he will attack Chang'an soon. " "What did you say?" Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this.  "How could Yangzhen react so quickly?" "This the old slave is not very clear either. But yesterday Master Yuwen let it slip, saying that King Qin Qiansui seemed to have secretly ordered Master Qu Tutong, Minister of War, in Luoyang  Assassination of King Zheng. It is estimated that King Zheng saw the flaw, so I don¡¯t know what happened specifically. " Li Shimin secretly ordered Qu Tutong to assassinate Li Yanqing?  This does not seem to be impossible It's just that Yang Zhen's reaction was too quick.  ¡°Under normal circumstances, he should first determine the situation in the DPRK and China before making a decision.  If this is the case, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yanqing to capture Tongguan so quicklyunless Yangzhen is also involved?  In other words, he should know something!  But he didn't notify him immediately, but waited for Li Shimin to take action before reacting!  Li Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years, and when it comes to being cunning and calculating, he is definitely the best.  From the information disclosed by Tian Feng, Li Yuan keenly caught the flaw He was silent for a long time, raised his head and stared at Tian Feng for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "How did Sanlang respond?" "I heard that Zhao Wang Qiantai got Zheng yesterday.  After the news that Wang Qiansui sent troops, he divided his troops into two groups, one to support Feng Yi, and the other to support Weinan. There seemed to be no problem. However, it was said that the troops supporting Weinan were ambushed by King Zheng.  He retreated in defeat at noon today. King Zhao Qiansui has ordered to prepare for a showdown with King Zheng in Chang'an City Otherwise, King Zhao Qiansui might come to visit His Majesty at this time. " Li Yuan gently rubbed his temples, thinking.  Various thoughts emerged.    He hated Li Xuanba with all his heart!  I hate Li Xuanba for being ruthless and cruel But no matter what, Li Xuanba is his biological son, and he is also the legitimate son left to him by Empress Taimu.  Bishamon, Erlang and Sanhu are all dead now!  Regardless of how they died, of Li Yuan's five legitimate sons, only Li Xuanba is left.  The fire in Taiji Palace will kill the heirs who are suitable to inherit the throne of Li Yuan.  In other words, besides Li Xuanba, Li Yuan seems to have no other choice unless he is willing to hand over the country "Tian Feng, please immediately notify King Zhao and order him to come to see me as soon as possible!  "
