Suzhou, Jiuquan.
The largest city at the west end of the Hexi Corridor, in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo to march into Hexi, defeated the Xiongnu, drove its remnants to outside the Yumen Pass, and later moved hundreds of thousands of people to live and cultivate, so there is a spring under the underground city, its water is like wine, and it is named Jiuquan.
Afternoon.
Suzhou Prefecture Yazhong in Jiuquan City.
Li Shimin buried his head in looking at the Central Plains intelligence that had just arrived.
After withdrawing from Gaochang City, Li Shimin led the army all the way east, passing through Yumen Pass to Dunhuang, from Dunhuang to Yumen Pass, and then to Jiuquan.
The army marched day and night, all the way in a hurry, and had already traveled 1,200 miles.
But the Central Plains is still far away, and more and more Central Plains intelligence is being delivered along the way, but the situation has not improved in the expected direction, but is getting worse and worse.
"The Emperor Taishang seized Ziwei Palace, the queen was surrounded, and she committed suicide by snatching Luo Yi's sword, the sword penetrated her chest and abdomen, and she was almost seriously injured, and she had to return the first aid."
"The Emperor Taishang forced the Empress of Changsun to write a letter to the prince to open the door of the East Palace, but the queen refused, and the Emperor Taishang fell to death the emperor's ninth son, Li Ming."
"The ninth son and mother of the emperor, the Yang family, went crazy and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well."
"The prince went out of the East Palace alone."
"Ma Zhou and others were ordered by the prince to continue to stick to the East Palace."
"Before the prince left the palace, he enshrined Li Chao as the generalissimo of the world's Qinwang to rebel against the soldiers and horses, commanding the world's Qinwang soldiers and horses, the king of Jin Zhaojun, the Taifu, and the Jiangnan Jiedu envoy to control Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Zhejiang East Road, Zhejiang West Road, Fujian Road, and Hunan Road."
Li Shimin quietly made the guards next to him scared.
The Emperor had been in this position for most of the day.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling rushed over when they heard the news, "Your Majesty, is there any news from Hanjing again?"
The Emperor finally raised his head.
"Xuanling, Wuji, these pieces of information should have arrived a long time ago, and the news above has obviously been delayed for a long time, why did they arrive late today, and they were sent to you together to give me an explanation" The two prime ministers stood there silent.
Li Shimin slapped his palm heavily on the table, "When do you still want to hide from me?"
"If there's anything else I don't know, let's talk about it."
The eldest grandson Wuji had long expected that the emperor would be so angry when he saw the news.
"Your Majesty, we are just worried that Your Majesty will be too angry and sad after seeing the news, so we temporarily suppressed it and didn't dare to send it."
"Well, I know you mean well.
But I'm not so fragile that I don't even dare to face reality, I'm not Yang, even if the sky falls, I'll be the first to know. ” Fang Xuanling said to the emperor, "For the time being, I have only received these news, the queen has been seriously injured, but she has been rescued at present, and there is no major problem for the time being."
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the East Palace, he was placed under house arrest by the Emperor Taishang in a side hall.
Ma Zhou and others in the East Palace are still holding on, and they have not yet been breached. ” "There is also the fact that before the prince left the East Palace, he issued an edict to Li Chao and others as the prince of the prison country, asking them to raise troops and give them the right to transfer troops."
"I know all of this."
Li Shimin sighed.
's father was restored, his queen concubines and princesses, none of them ran away and all fell into the hands of the emperor.
He thought that the crown prince had taken the queen and all of them to the East Palace, but now, it was a bolt from the blue.
The ninth son of the emperor was killed by the emperor, and he was furious.
Although he knew that it was not his own son, when the Emperor Taishang fell, it was his son who fell.
If you fall one Li Ming, who will fall next Li Shimin can't wait to fly back to Hanjing now, angry, angry.
"The prince is too soft-hearted."
Li Shimin said angrily.
Originally, when he was in Gaochang, he also praised the prince for seeing the opportunity quickly and handling it well.
But now, the prince actually took the initiative to leave the East Palace "It's just stupid" The eldest grandson Wuji defended his nephew, "The prince is benevolent and filial, and he is pure-hearted, and he can't bear to put the queen and his brothers and sisters in danger. ” "Stupid" Li Shimin continued to scold, anyway, he is now on fire in his heart.
How do you think the prince is stupid, he is the most ruthless emperor, he shouldn't be soft-hearted after the change of Xuanwumen, otherwise there would be no change today.
Cheng Qian is his crown prince and his prince, and he will inherit the throne and inherit the Tang Empire in the future.
But he is so soft-hearted, how will he inherit this huge empire in the future.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is only ten years old after all.
How does he choose, does His Majesty want him to ignore the safety of the Empress and the princes and princesses?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "Yes, he should stick to the East Palace and not come out." ” Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji were speechless, they felt that the current emperor was a little paranoid and was angry.
Maybe after calming down, it's another thought.

If the prince does not come out of the East Palace, perhaps the emperor will feel that the prince is ruthless, ruthless, unfilial, and so on.
"Your Majesty, the arrangements before the prince left the palace were still very good, and he stayed in the court and guarded the East Palace.
The crown prince also issued an edict to Li Chao and others, granting them the right to deal with the camera, at least there will be no more big chaos in the local area. ” Li Shimin thought of these arrangements of the prince, and he was also a little admired in his heart, but he felt that the prince was too casual and indiscriminate, and actually gave Li Chao and other nine generals the title of king.
He set the rule that no one with a different surname could be crowned a king There are also these eight festival envoys and a Gyeonggi defense envoy, these powers are too great.
However, the edict of the prince has been issued, Cheng Qian is the prince of the prison country, and the edict he issued has passed through the Zhongshu Gate and the Hanlin Academy, and the jade seal and the seal of the Zhongshu Gate are available, so to speak, the edict is a legitimate edict.
Even if he is the emperor, he cannot take it back without a valid reason.
"There are still more than 2,000 miles from here to Chang'an, and there are still 800 miles from Chang'an to Hanjing.
There are still 3,000 miles to go, and the army is marching too slowly.
Li Shimin can't wait, he wants to go back to Hanjing immediately.
"I have decided to lead the cavalry first, and the other soldiers and horses will follow."
Fang Xuanling objected, "Your Majesty, the current situation is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable, I would rather slow down than take risks easily."
Three thousand miles, no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as Li Chao and their Qinwang army. ” Li Shimin has made up his mind, and no matter how much he persuades, he is not moved.
"I picked 20,000 cavalry to go first, traveled 200 miles a day, and it only took ten days to reach Chang'an.
There is Guo Xiaoke in Hexi, and Qin Qiong in Chang'an, there is no problem with supplies along the way, and there is no need to worry about safety.
When I arrived in Chang'an, I would join Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses and go out to Hanjing together. ” The eldest grandson Wuji saw that the emperor had already made a decision and no longer persuaded him.
He asked, "Your Majesty, now the queen and the crown prince and the princesses and concubines are all in the hands of the Emperor Taishang, and Your Majesty has arrived in Hanjing, if the Emperor Taishang threatens them at that time, what does Your Majesty plan to do?"
"We'll talk about it then."
Li Shimin only replied with four words. t1706231537:
