Li Shimin didn't know how he returned to his palace after hearing the news that Li Chengqian might have an accident or die, and just sat on his throne in a daze.
Beside him, she received news that of course something was wrong with Li Shimin. Empress Changsun, who hurried over, looked at Li Shimin in front of her with great confusion.
"Your Majesty, what happened? What happened? Why is Your Majesty, your Majesty, so peaceful in the Tang Dynasty?"
Queen Changsun's words finally made Li Shimin react, and he turned to look at Queen Changsun.
"Queen, you are here. Nothing happened to me. It's just that there are people in the southwest who are preparing to cause chaos, and there are enemy countries that are about to invade the border. I am thinking about what kind of method to use to completely solve these things."
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Queen Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see, aren't General Hou and Qian'er both in the Southwest? Aren't they still unable to completely solve the Southwest?"
When Queen Changsun asked this question, Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun and pulled out a smile with difficulty.
"Don't worry, Queen, General Hou is in charge, and some of Qian'er's Tiance Guard troops are in the southwest. I will soon arrange for the Prince Guards of the East Palace to rush to the southwest to mobilize troops along the way. We will definitely be able to keep the southwest safe. Queen, don’t worry.”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun who was still asking questions in front of him and said suddenly.
"Queen, please do your business first. I suddenly realized that I still have some things to do and I need to leave for a while. I won't be accompanying the Queen to dispatch Cheng Qian's troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin flew away from the palace to do what he nominally wanted to do, arranging the mobilization of troops.
It's just that no one knows what he is going to do, and Li Shimin is just wandering helplessly in the imperial city. This lonely scene is a bit heart-breaking for anyone who sees it.
Finally, Li Shimin stood still, looking to the southwest and murmuring.
"Your Majesty, please don't let anything happen to you. You are the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty that I have chosen, and you are the hope of the future Tang Dynasty. King Anbei is coming back. If something happens to you again, how will I deal with you?" How do you explain it to the people of the world? How do you explain it to your master?"
Although Li Shimin was a little tangled, he finally gritted his teeth and marched towards the palace where his father, Emperor Li Yuan, was. At the same time, he issued an order. The Prince's Guards were led by Li Zhong and immediately went to Nanping, obeying the orders of General Hou and His Royal Highness. , As for the troops and horses along the way, those that General Hou can control and those that can be called upon should follow General Hou's instructions.
The current situation must not only ensure that nothing else goes wrong, but also ensure that the prince can be found. Of course, in Li Shimin's heart, he is the living prince.
Li Shimin made a series of arrangements. Many officials in the court were waiting for Li Shimin's inquiries at the court meeting. What surprised them was that Li Shimin did not appear during the court meeting. This made them talk a lot, and those who knew It made me laugh out loud.
Of course, the laughter was in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh at Li Shimin openly, because Li Shimin couldn't even protect his son, the current prince Li Chengqian? Isn't that seeking death?
Li Shimin did not appear in the palace. As Li Shimin's closest confidant, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were a little anxious.
How is this going? His Majesty has never been absent from court meetings. His sudden absence made them unable to react for a moment. What happened?
A few people had no choice but to temporarily recommend one person to go to the imperial city to inquire about what was going on.
Why hasn't Li Shimin appeared yet? But we can't let all the princes and ministers stop handling their affairs and just wait here for Li Shimin to appear out of nowhere. Read the book
However, Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Sun Wuji, arranged for someone to go to the imperial city to inquire about Li Shimin's situation. Before they could enter the imperial city, they were stopped by the eunuch.
"My lords, Your Majesty feels suddenly unwell. Today's court meeting is cancelled. We will discuss it tomorrow."
This suddenly changed the time of going to court, which surprised everyone, and Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun
Wuji couldn't help but bow at the same time after hearing the eunuch's answer.
"I would also like to ask this lord to reply to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling, and your eldest son, Sun Wuji, request an interview with Your Majesty."
After the two said this, the patient shook his head.
"You two adults, please don't make things difficult for me. If Your Majesty sees you, I will go and talk to Your Majesty. But since Your Majesty doesn't see you, we have no way to report any matters. I hope you two adults will forgive me."
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling never thought that they would come to see Li Shimin. When Li Shimin still missed seeing them, he felt that this matter was not trivial and couldn't help but pull the eunuch when he was about to turn around and tell him to leave.
"Tell us what's going on with His Majesty?"
"this……"
The eunuch didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally looked around at the two right-hand men of Li Shimin.
"I can only tell the two adults. It's just that the two adults cannot make it public in any case, let alone others. If others find out, this is a serious crime of decapitation. No, it may lead to the death of all nine tribes. .”
After the eunuch said these words, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and then solemnly expressed their feelings in front of the eunuch.
"What kind of people are we? Do we still need to doubt this?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't doubt the two adults. Let's talk to the two adults."
The eunuch looked at Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji again and said.
"My lords, Your Majesty has received news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an accident in the Southwest and is now missing. His life or death is uncertain."
What!
This moment frightened Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. Prince Li Chengqian was favored by courtiers like them, and the generals also valued Li Chengqian. He suddenly said such a sentence, but It scared them all.
How could this be?
Why isn't that the case?
The eunuch wanted to say something like this, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it, so he could only say it weakly.
"You two adults, please don't make it difficult for me. This is really the case. This has happened. Please allow me to leave."
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji also became dumbfounded for a moment. After letting the eunuch leave, they stood dumbly at the gate of the imperial city.
But in the end, the two of them looked at each other as if they had thought of something.
The situation in the court cannot be disrupted. The prince is just missing. It is not yet known what happened. Although they are not leading generals, they still have some soldiers and guards at home, and there are also some close friends who can arrange to go to the southwest. For His Royal Highness, the prince wants to see him alive. People want to see their corpses when they die.
Looking at Li Shimin who did not go to court today, King Li You of Qi and King Li Min of Shu laughed heartily after returning to their palaces.
"Great, it seems that the news of Li Chengqian's accident has deeply stimulated his father. Under such circumstances, we will have a chance to rise and sit on the supreme throne."
Li You and Li Min were quite happy and couldn't help but imagine how they would look like sitting on the supreme throne. However, what they didn't notice was that while they were laughing so heartily, some people were actually staring at them.
After getting conclusive evidence that they were celebrating Li Chengqian's accident, those watching them were even more happy.
"Under such circumstances, they can only choose us, and our aristocratic family will rise again and dominate the world again."
But what no one knew was that while these guys with ulterior motives were thinking about these things, the current champion of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Li Zhong, got Li Shimin's order and immediately gathered the crown prince's guards to go to the southwest to obey His Highness the Prince and Hou Li. The general dispatched.
Looking at this order, a dangerous light flashed in Li Zhong's eyes.
"You ask me to leave at this time? Well, since I have made my choice, it is not good for me in Chang'an City. If I go to the southwest, maybe the entire southwest will be my world after Hou Junji evacuates."
Li Zhong played well. After receiving the order, he immediately gathered his men and started to move to the southwest. As the guards of the East Palace, the Tiance Guards left, and the Prince Guards also left. This surprised Hou Junji's daughter Hou Xiaomei in the East Palace. .
Why did all the troops leave? What happened? Even if something really happened, everyone shouldn't be transferred, right?
Although Hou Xiaomei was very confused, it still didn't stop her from going to Wanghuang City every day to visit his imperial grandfather, Li Chengqian's biological grandfather Li Yuan, and she also brought his daughter and son with her.
Although the two little guys couldn't say anything or recognize anything, their babbling always made people feel happy.
It's just that this time, when Li Chengqian's daughter-in-law Hou Xiaomei, as the most precious crown prince in the Tang Dynasty, came to visit Li Yuan with the prince and eldest princess who might be the most powerful in the future, she saw Li Yuan sitting there with a gloomy face. Li Shimin was next to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan also had a gloomy and terrifying expression. Seeing this scene, the younger sister hurriedly saluted.
"I've met my father, I've met my grandpa."
The two little dolls next to her were also in the maid's arms, giggling at the two of them.
Although the person in front of him was very troubled, but suddenly looking at the children in front of him, Li Yuan seemed to have thought of something unexpected, stood up with difficulty, and patted Li Shimin on the shoulder.
"You must persevere in order to prevent chaos in the Tang Dynasty. At least you have to live longer than me. You also have a good grandson. Others are not suitable, so let's see if this grandson is suitable."
Li Yuan's unreasonable words flashed through Li Shimin's mind like a bright light, and Li Shimin nodded hurriedly.
"What my father said is very important. There are still grandchildren, and there are still grandchildren who can inherit the throne."
what's the situation?
Hou Xiaomei was stunned for a while, but thinking about the current situation, Hou Xiaomei felt that her heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
Your son hasn't sat on the throne yet, so you want your grandson to take the throne. What do you think? Do you want your son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, to lead troops all the time and wander around the country?
This is not a bad thing, but why do you look so gloomy? Could it be that something happened to my husband?
Hou Xiaomei was direct, without the obsequious nagging of others. She was completely in line with the military style of General Hou. When she had doubts, she hurriedly asked.
It's just that Hou Xiaomei regretted asking her this question. How could she ignore etiquette and ask about her father-in-law, her husband's grandfather, and her husband?
