Chapter six hundred and eighty first palace secret play

Full of grief and anger, it is hard to write.

Lu Dongzan is still confused, not sure what happened in this world-renowned capital of the Tang Dynasty. Why did all the people and things go wrong overnight? He, a foreigner, really doesn't understand the world of the Tang Dynasty...

Looking back, I thought about the book of the Central Plains sages who were still devoutly reading the books of the Central Plains, and was amazed at every sentence in the book. Then, looking at the houses that are now smoked and burning everywhere in the Sifang Pavilion, the three views that Lu Dongzan just established collapsed.

What about the promised inaction without fighting? What about the promised etiquette country? I learned your culture in the house and envied the wisdom of your ancestors, but you set fire outside the house...

At this moment, Lu Dongzan was full of confusion about life.

The Tubo entourage was busy shooting water to put out the fire. Lu Dongzan stood in the yard without saying a word. I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly came to his senses and grabbed a Tubo passerby.

"What did you shout outside just now?"

The Tubo entourage said uncertainly: "The prince of Tang...rebellion?"

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath: "The prince rebelled? Tonight? At this time?"

The follower hurriedly should be.

Countless unpredictable light flashed in his eyes, and then Lu Dongzan slapped heavily, feeling the excitement of **** Xiang Shengju.

"Rebel! Rebel hard! It should have been rebel long ago! The more chaotic the Tang Kingdom, the better..." Lu Dongzan was very happy, paused, and added gloatingly: "...It's better to burn the Tai Chi Palace!"

Seeing that the entourages were still busy pumping water in the well to put out the fire, Lu Dongzan frowned and shouted, "Come back to me! The houses of Tang State are not our business, what do you want to save! I will go to Tai Chi Palace to meet the Emperor of Tang State. Tonight, the thieves burned the Sifang Pavilion. The emperor must give Tubo an explanation, otherwise he will not be willing to give up!"

The followers hurriedly threw away the buckets and basins and stood honestly in the yard.

"Also, after dawn, I will send people out of the city and go to Tubo to tell us Zanpu that the Tang Dynasty was in chaos and the prince rebelled, and our Tubo army could gather at the border and wait for an opportunity to set off."

The follower's salute should be. As soon as he turned around, Lu Dongzan called him again.

A cold smile flashed in his eyes, and Lu Dong praised: "I ordered someone to write another letter of nationality, and I will hand it to the Emperor of Tang after my Tubo army gathered on the border. I might as well be humble. I would say that Tubo asked the Tang Dynasty to give more gifts to Princess Wencheng's dowry, money, porcelain, silk, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, or craftsmen who built bridges, roads and houses. In short, the more is better. I would like to ask the Emperor of Tang to give gifts to the sake of the friendship between the two countries."

The follower was stunned and looked up at Lu Dongzan in shock: "Da Xiang, this is not, this is not..."

Lu Dong praised and said with a smile: "You want to take advantage of the situation and robbery, right?"

The follower dared not respond and bowed his head to blame him for his crime.

Lu Dongzan laughed: "The prince rebelled and the Tang Dynasty was in chaos. No matter who won or lost tonight, the Emperor of Tang would be caught off guard. Even if he wiped out the treason, he would have to clean up the court and eliminate the remnants for a long time in the future. Everyone of civil and military officials and generals was in danger. This is the time for the emptiness and chaos in the Tang Dynasty. God gave him a good opportunity. If he didn't take it, wouldn't he missed the opportunity in vain?"

******************************************************************

But after burning a few houses, the one who paid for the bill was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Su did not expect that it triggered the Tubo army to be ready. This incident fulfilled the butterfly effect and it really existed.

If God gave Li Su a chance to do it again, Li Su... would still choose to burn the house.

Your son rebelled, and I burned a few houses to warn him that it was just a drizzle.

Anyway, there is no evidence to die, and it is not him who loses money. As for the gathering of the Tubo army on the border... this is not controlled by Li Suneng. I believe Songzan Ganbu and Lu Dongzan dare not act rashly, for no other reason, because the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and a group of old killers under him are typical of violent tempers, especially the Tang Dynasty still has the thunder that scares neighboring countries. When in a bad mood, throw a few people over and listen to the sound. The one who makes me angry is in danger. It is your business to assemble a large army on the border. If you dare to cross the border, you will know the power of the Tang army.

Tai Chi Palace.

On a rainy night, at midnight, everything is quiet.

Li Shimin sat in Ganlu Hall, listening to the drizzle outside the hall, and lowered his head to review the memorials.

An old figure walked silently outside the hall, often wearing a crimson official robe, standing quietly outside the hall gate, with a hesitation and hesitation.

Chang Tu had long heard from the news of the rebellion of the prince, but Chang Tu had never dared to believe it easily. After all, the prince and the King of Wei are mortal enemies, and whether the dirty water poured by the mortal enemies can win the trust is a matter of opinion.

So in the past few days, Chang Tu has been suppressing this matter and did not dare to report to Li Shimin. However, he has activated all the forces that can be activated to investigate and confirm it with all his strength.

Rebellion is extraordinary, especially the prince's rebellion. Chang Tu followed Li Shimin for many years and knew his nature. The Xuanwu Sect's change was a tyrant, whether it was forced by the situation or ambition, but in the deepest part of Li Shimin's heart, he was also very self-reproaching and regretting the brothers' brothers. However, this kind of self-reproach and regret cannot be told to outsiders that he must be hardened to count his brothers' sins and express how much he compromised, how cruel and unkind his brothers are, and how different the contradictory feelings of others have been tormenting Li Shimin's heart over the years.

Therefore, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he attached great importance to the harmonious relationship between his children. However, he often ignored it in his actions. When the emperor was too busy, he was so busy that he even needed to arrange a trip to maintain the relationship between his father and his children in the family. Because the children lacked direct teaching from their fathers, their personalities gradually changed as they grew older, and their power, money, land, and so many temptations in the world did not make people moved. They were originally young men with unstable will. A little induced induced ambitions. The ambition grew bigger and bigger, and they could not be curbed, and eventually became a disaster.

For example, Prince Li Chengqian.

Until today before sunset, Chang Tu finally got real news from the eyes and ears of the East Palace.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian is indeed planning a rebellion and is already on the verge of arrows!

Chang Tu didn't dare to hide it anymore. After the news was confirmed, he immediately came to Ganlu Hall. However, standing outside the Ganlu Hall gate, Chang Tu stopped, and a dark look flashed in his wooden and cold eyes like a dead fish.

When his own son rebelled, Chang Tu could imagine how shocked and heartbroken Li Shimin's expression would be. This pain was the same as the moment when he personally posed a bow to kill his brother Li Jiancheng.

Father and son, brothers and feet should be the most intimate relationship in the world, but they ended up killing each other. After seventeen years, his own son actually followed him and raised his butcher knife to him...

What kind of pain should this be? Isn’t it like this if thousands of arrows pierce the heart?

Chang Tu, who was as hard as a stone, was standing outside the hall gate at this moment, and felt unbearable and pitiful in his heart for a moment. For the Majesty of the Heavenly Khan who was so arrogant in the hall, and for this father who was doomed to fail.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke kindly in his mind, Chang Tu sighed silently, and finally walked into the Ganlu Palace.

I will leave the grief and take a closer look at it, but the current rebellion must be extinguished quickly, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Xiao Zaizhu quietly stepped forward, looking at Li Shimin behind the table holding his forehead with one hand and the pen with the other, and reviewing the memorials with a focused expression. He always looked sad, but he had to interrupt Li Shimin's thinking.

"Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter."

Li Shimin raised his head from the pile of memorial papers on the hill, and his expression was already very tired.

"Tell me quickly if you have something to do." Li Shimin said lightly.

Chang Tu paused for a moment and finally said cruelly: "Your Majesty, the prince is suspected of treason, and the old slave has already verified it."

Li Shimin was stunned, and his tired and unconscious eyes suddenly burst into light, but his face quickly became gloomy.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Chang Tu repeated expressionlessly: "The prince's affairs are involved in treason, and the old slave has verified it."

"Crown Prince? Chengqian? Are you talking about Chengqian's rebellion?" Li Shimin widened his eyes, then slapped the table hard, and said furiously: "You dog is so old and confused? Everyone in the world can make my rebellion, but Chengqian cannot! The world is his, what reason does he have to rebel? Why does he rebel?"

I often do not make any sound, but still have no expression on my face and my head stands with respect.

Li Shimin's tone was gradually becoming a little uncertain when he spoke this.

Before this year, the future Tang Dynasty might be Li Chengqian, but this year he was increasingly dissatisfied with Li Chengqian and even openly summoned important officials to discuss the matter of Yi Chu. Although the discussion was unresolved, the news had already spread. Li Chengqian's ears could not feel resentful? The position of the Eastern Palace was in danger and the resentment became stronger in his heart. So he secretly planned to rebel. What's impossible?

Li Shimin's face changed a few moments, and finally sat down in a daze, looking up at Chang Tu.

"Have you really checked it out? Tell me in detail."

Chang Tu said calmly: "The old slave has already found out. After His Majesty summoned important officials to discuss the matter of Yi Chu, the prince secretly summoned King Li Yuanchang of Han, Du He of Xiangyang County, Zhao Jie, son of Prince Changguang Princess Changguang, and Li Anyan, the general of the Zuotun Guard, to enter the Eastern Palace. The four people were the leaders of the plot."

Li Shimin said gloomyly: "Can we know the details of the rebellion? When will it be launched, who will plan, and how many troops of the twelve guards in Chang'an go against each other?"

Chang Tu said: "I guess... the launch may be in the past few days, even tonight. Among the 12 guards of Chang'an, Li Anyan, the Zuo Tun Guard, has been in operation for many years, and is afraid that it will be unstable. The prince left leads the General of the Central Guard Liu Sichun to be dismissed for private fights by soldiers. The General of the Right Lang Chang Yingwang takes over his post. Lao Nu thinks about it. This is probably a trap set by the prince. Those who always welcome the prince must be the prince. It is unknown whether there are generals in the other guards to rebel."

Li Shimin's expression became more and more gloomy, and he was silent for a moment, and asked slowly: "...Is there anyone involved in the court's general?"

Chang Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "The Qianniu Helan Chushi of the East Palace has been frequently in and out of his father-in-law Hou Junji's mansion recently, and he didn't know what he meant."

Li Shimin's body shook and his heart became more and more painful.

"The parents and children and the virtuous ministers are against me! What's wrong with me?" (To be continued.)
