To say how loyal Kan Leng was to Li Yuan and Li Tang... I wouldn't believe it. In fact, Kan Leng had a collision.
But Kan Leng could choose to escape and watch the rebels attack the door, but in the end he chose to kill the thieves with his bare hands... Whether it was for himself or for Du Fuwei, Li Yuan could not turn a blind eye.
However, Li Yuan suppressed the matter first. Today, hundreds of thieves attacked the Suzaku Gate... They were planning to rebel!
Unless this matter comes to light, Li Yuan dare not close his eyes at night.
But before Li Yuan could speak, the two big men opposite him turned around, and many people's eyes fell on Li Shimin.
One is Hou Junji, the second deputy guard on the left of Tiance Mansion, and the other is Zhang Shigui, the general manager of the horse army of Tiance Mansion.
Both men were injured, one was stabbed in the shoulder and the other was stabbed in the calf.
To the surprise of many people, Li Yuan turned slightly sideways and his eyes did not fall on Li Shimin, but first on Luo Yi and then on Prince Li Jiancheng.
After all, he is an old man who has been in officialdom for decades, and he is also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His own safety is involved... Li Yuan's mind turned faster than anyone else. He reacted immediately, Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji. A few months ago, he was whipped on the cheek by Luo Yi in the Forbidden Garden.
This matter was probably caused by Erlang!
But this matter was probably Dalang's fault, or he could only blame Luo Yi.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at first. He didn't believe it, and couldn't believe that his two sons had the idea of revolting to seize the palace. This time, it was probably just a matter of legitimate affairs.
Luo Yi's thoughts also moved quickly. It was already autumn, and big drops of sweat were secreted on his forehead. He lay low and didn't dare to move.
Over there, Princess Pingyang interrogated the thief, and then asked Kan Leng, Zhang Shigui, Hou Junji, and then the soldiers guarding the Suzaku Gate. Although the details still need to be delved into, the whole story is generally clear.
"Tell me." Li Yuan took a few steps forward, obviously not wanting his daughter to make a big deal about it.
Princess Pingyang whispered: "About three hundred thieves were hiding in Wubenfang. Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji met them. Suddenly it was reported that King Yan had been killed in the imperial city. The thieves pursued Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji and arrived at Zhuque Gate."
"Kan Leng, a man from Linji County, fought head-on. Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji turned around and killed the thieves. When their daughter came out of Zhuque Gate, the thieves were already defeated..."
Li Yuan snorted, "The guards guarding the Zhuque Gate are the guards of the left prison, so they won't take the initiative to attack."
"yes."
"Three or two people faced each other, and three hundred thieves were defeated?" Li Yuan pulled his cheek. It was obvious that the three hundred thieves were completely fooled by Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji.
When they heard that Luo Yi had been murdered in the imperial city, they were panicked and led outside the Suzaku Gate by Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji... Obviously, these were Luo Yi's men.
Luo Yi took charge of the Youzhou Army and was conferred the title of King of Yan County. When he entered the capital this time, Li Yuan allowed him to bring more than a thousand soldiers...but he actually hid 300 elite soldiers secretly. What is he trying to do?
And it was hidden in Wubenfang. Obviously, Dalang must have known about it...because Anshangmen is opposite Wubenfang, and the East Palace is to the north from the entrance.
After a long silence, Li Yuan, with a cold face, waved to brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and asked directly: "What did Erlang say?"
Li Shimin secretly slandered that what happened today was probably because Changsun Wuji saw Luo Yi and Kan Leng fighting and changed his mind temporarily. In the original plan, Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji did not need to show up, and there would not be three hundred thieves to attack the Suzaku Gate. A farce... All he needs to do is let his father know that there are three hundred elites hidden in the East Palace outside the palace wall. If everything goes well, Luo Yi can be expelled and a heavy blow can be given to the East Palace.
It's okay now. Although things have become a big deal, my tail has also been exposed.
After scolding his brother-in-law a few times in his heart, Li Shimin simply replied: "The child's fault cannot be adequately punished."
"Wu'an and Junji are not angry with the king of Yan County. They feel deeply humiliated and deliberately seek provocation."
Princess Pingyang couldn't help but glanced over. She didn't expect that her second brother was quite bachelor at the critical moment. She first admitted that this was her own work and a means to seize the heir, and secondly pointed out Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji's resentment towards Luo Yi. , also, the whip marks on the face have not completely faded.
The most important thing is that Li Shimin pointed out... Although today's incident was the work of my Prince Qin's Palace, it was the prince who did it.
I couldn't be the one who asked Luo Yi to hide three hundred elite soldiers outside the palace wall, right?
Li Yuan's cold gaze turned to Li Jiancheng's face, "Do you think the Changlin Army has shortcomings?"
"Father, father!" Li Jiancheng turned pale and reluctantly explained: "The Changlin Army is full of new recruits, and it is difficult to resist a strong enemy..."
Naturally, this powerful enemy refers to Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion... Li Shimin listened indifferently. If today's incident comes out and it makes such a big fuss, he will also suffer a loss. But in the end, the East Palace will suffer more than he will definitely suffer. After all, Still made money.
"Are there new recruits at the end?" Li Yuan sneered twice.
Li Yuan also found out about the commotion in the Forbidden Garden a few months ago. At least half of the soldiers Luo Yi brought into the capital were sent to Changlin's army in the East Palace. Li Yuan vaguely acquiesced to this, but he did not expect his eldest son to be like this. Unsatisfied, he secretly summoned Youzhou's elite soldiers to Beijing again.
What do you want to do?
Li Yuan's low laughter sounded, and he said quietly: "The Youzhou Army has been defending the border all year round, and there are many elite soldiers and fierce generals. Does Dalang want to use this to replace the Beiya Forbidden Army?"
The Beiya Imperial Guards were responsible for the left and right prison guards, and the left and right Qianniu Guards. The former guarded the imperial city, and the latter served the emperor... In other words, Li Yuan's wealth and life were entrusted to this. The weight of this sentence can be imagined.
Li Jiancheng's body was trembling, but he no longer dared to defend himself.
These three hundred elite soldiers were carefully selected by Luo Yi on Li Jiancheng's order. After all, Luo Yi had already brought more than a thousand soldiers into the army before. Li Yuan would be suspicious of him if he mobilized his troops again, so Li Jiancheng hid them in Wubenfang. Prepare to be transferred to the Changlin Army within a month or two to serve as a middle- and lower-level general.
There were rumors in the past that he wanted to move the capital... Li Jiancheng did have such an intention, but he also knew that his father Li Yuan had different opinions.
In the future, the Turks are likely to invade Hedong Road again. Li Jiancheng is preparing to build an elite army based on the Changlin Army... He has long been eyeing the Xuanjia soldiers of Tiance Mansion, so he asked Luo Yi to mobilize troops to Beijing.
Li Jiancheng's mind was dizzy, and he was just wondering, how did his second brother know such secrets? !
Li Yuan looked at the confused eldest son and the seemingly calm second son with disappointment, and suddenly asked: "Pingyang, how should we deal with this matter?"
Princess Pingyang did not directly say that she was the Holy Magistrate. Instead, she thought for a while and then said: "The prince and King Qin are both his father's legitimate sons, and they are also his daughter's brothers."
Li Yuan let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said: "Three hundred thieves will be sentenced and sentenced to death without mercy."
"Luo Yi, the king of Yanjun, is the governor of Jingzhou."
"Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji were both dismissed from their posts."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both bowed to respond. This treatment seemed to be a big deal for each, but in fact, the East Palace suffered a heavy blow. Although Luo Yi was definitely still attached to the East Palace, he went to Longxi Road to take up a post. It is difficult to directly confront Tiance Mansion, and the prince's plan to form an elite cavalry with the Changlin Army will also be wiped out.
The dismissal of Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji is not painful at all. At worst, they can just transfer to the Prince of Qin's Palace. They will still be Li Shimin's confidants.
Li Yuan felt a little sad and was about to return to the palace. Princess Pingyang beside him reminded her in a low voice, "Father, a man from Linji County..."
"Yes." Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, turning his head to glance at Kan Leng who was standing far outside the Suzaku Gate, feeling hesitant in his heart.
He had just been demoted and dismissed, so he couldn't slap himself in the face so quickly, right?
"Father, since he is dismissed from his post, why not let him go north and be promoted through meritorious service in the future?"
Li Yuan's heart moved, he tilted his head and said, "Yanmen?"
"Kan Leng is extremely brave and powerful. King Wu Du Fuwei is in Beijing, and the Jianghuai army is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Huairen is kind to him, so he can be put to use."
Li Yuan didn't care about this anymore, he waved his hand and said: "That's it, we'll just arrange it in Pingyang."
A jaw-dropping accident ended in this way. After relying on Luo Yi for several months, Dong Gong received a heavy blow. Li Shimin did not get much benefit, but instead exposed him...well, at least It proves that King Qin must have buried nails inside the East Palace!
Perhaps the only one who benefited was Li Shan who was far away in Yanmen. Without Su Dingfang, there was Kan Leng who was brave and unyielding.
