"Presumably, there is something hidden in this matter."
"I believe it won't take long for Dai Zhou to find out."
"When the time comes, the truth will be revealed."
"However, judging from the current situation, and the anomaly in the East Palace before."
"Qiu'er's identity must have been known."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also took a deep breath.
Then he hesitated to make a conclusion.
"Tomorrow morning, announce Li Qiu to enter the palace."
"At the same time, we will make a decree to announce Li Qiu's identity as the eldest son of the emperor to the world."
"Canonize Li Qiu as the king of Chu, recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and let the world know."
"As for the prince, if this is true, I will never forgive him!"
"If he really did these things, then he is no longer worthy to be the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, my prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
……
Just when the night in Chang'an City was turned upside down, it also led to countless people's mansions, and suspicion continued.
Sleepless.
In the Beiping Palace, Li Qiu was already fully dressed.
Sit upright on a chair.
The more than 100 elite guards in the entire Peking Palace were even after hearing the big movement outside.
Waiting for the battle, not daring to relax in the slightest.
As for Wu Jue, who was several months pregnant, Li Qiu forced her to stay on the bed.
But naturally he didn't feel sleepy at all, he leaned against the head of the bed, frowning slightly, feeling the shouts of the army mobilizing outside, and the sound of horseshoes.
Soon, the figure in the cloud descended from the roof, pushed the door open and entered the room.
Explained to Li Qiu and Wu Jue.
"Outside is the large-scale mobilization of the forbidden army."
"At the same time, there are officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment searching and arresting people."
Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning.
"Dali Temple?"
"At this time, what big things can happen to them?"
"I think back then, during the Xuanwumen Incident, the curfew and raids in the entire Chang'an city were built to the size of the remaining party, I'm afraid that's all there is to it."
While saying these words, Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Since I came to this Great Tang, the original historical track has become more and more biased.
So much so that now, he himself is deeply involved in the situation.
Gradually lost the kind of foresight like a magic stick.
Chapter 1023 Chaos and Tranquility
Because now the residence of Wei Wang Li Tai is Wude Hall.
Therefore, I have a deeper understanding of the big movement in the palace tonight.
As long as you climb up to the top of the wall, you can see the imperial guards in the brigade gathering and operating.
The light of the torch also formed countless long dragons, spreading everywhere as far as the eyes could see.
Like the general's rapid scolding, military orders, and the neighing of war horses, the chaotic sound of horseshoes, and the sound of footsteps.
It is endless.
"Your Highness, if there is such a commotion outside tonight, there must be something serious going on somewhere."
"This is not a place to stay forever."
"You'd better wait with the minister and hide in the Hall of Wude."
"If there is any danger, at least there is a buffer."
Hearing the anxious persuasion of the people around him, Li Tai also woke up.
While quickly evacuating towards the center with the crowd, he said with a nonchalant smile on the surface: "My Wude Palace is right between the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace."
"It's only a wall away from father and mother, so what's there to care about?"
"It's you guys who are so nervous about trivial matters."
"It's a joke to spread it out."
Seeing what Li Tai said, the people around him repeatedly bowed and said yes.
But in his mouth, he continued to persuade seriously.
"Your Highness."
"If we talk about the literati recruited by our Prince Wei's Mansion, there are hundreds of them at the Literary Museum."
"But when it comes to guards, there are only a hundred or so."
"Most of them are assigned by the Imperial Army, and we have never carefully selected them."
"If there is any danger, how can these people be trusted?"
"After today, it's time for you, Your Highness, to select some available personnel."
Hearing this, King Wei shook his head.
"A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is long-standing."
"This king has a heart of benevolence and filial piety. As long as my father is around, I will have nothing to fear in my heart."
"It's my poor third brother who is sneaky and timid all day long."
"As for the little Jiujiu in his mansion, as for the discerning people in Chang'an City, who doesn't know?"
"Oh, it's really ridiculous!"
Just when he was mocking Li Ke.
Far away in Wu Wang's mansion, Li Ke was sitting upright, listening to the movement outside with a blank expression.
In front of him, there was a jug of turbid wine, less than half of it had gone down.
At this moment, he was like most of the city.
They all knew that such a big battle must have happened somewhere.
It's just that there is no information about the content of the matter.
For Li Ke, no matter what happened outside.
As long as things are big enough, he likes them very much.
Considering his current situation, he is not afraid of chaos, only of silence.
Jing, he can only waste this life and be an aggrieved, useless and useless prince.
And chaos, he may be able to find a glimmer of life from it.
Therefore, not only did he not have the slightest worry about the huge commotion outside tonight.
On the contrary, I felt faintly excited in my heart.
He even hopes that the Great Tang will collapse at this moment, and it will return to the chaotic era of warlords fighting for hegemony.
At that time, with his "majestic talent and great strategy" and his status as a prince, he will not have to worry about failure.
Of course, this kind of illusion is extremely illusory, and it often just passes by in a flash.
At this moment, in the mansion of King Han.
Han Wang Li Yuanchang was already pale with fright.
Be ready at any time, once a large number of forbidden troops rush in.
He took all the people in the mansion to fight to the death.
If the prince's rebellion is exposed, he would rather die now.
I also don't want to be caught in prison by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
After suffering a series of tortures and pains, he could not escape death in the end.
So whenever there are horseshoes and teams of the imperial army passing quickly in front of his house.
The sound of the drums seemed to be stepping on his heart.
Nervous, uncomfortable, and even difficult to breathe.
In this way, after more than half an hour of being extremely nervous.
The number of imperial troops passing by the gate of his mansion became less and less.
It was only then that Han Wang Li Yuanchang finally felt relieved.
It seems that it is not what I imagined before, the prince's treason has been exposed.
Afterwards, with a weary sigh, he sheathed the sword at his waist, and sat directly on the stone steps next to him with a heavy buttocks.
At this moment, his entire clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
……
At this moment, in the Prince's East Palace.
Li Chengqian, who had a trace of cowardice in his bones, was about to collapse there.
I kept thinking about it at that time, what happened outside?
Did the emperor find out about us?
What are we going to do?
Will the Imperial Army rush into our East Palace in a while and take us away?
At this time, where are the six rates in the Eastern Palace?
Compared to his flustered mess, the satisfaction on the side was as steady as an iceberg.
There was no expression on his face, and he could not see the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Indifferent, calm, powerful.
Finally, listening to the commotion outside gradually subsided, Xin Xin came back to his senses.
"Your Highness, if the movement of this matter is really exposed because of what His Highness planned."
"Then we won't have any, not even the slightest chance."
"At this time, Li Anyan, Hou Junji, Zheng Guang, and His Highness's East Palace Six Leaders are all useless."
"So, Xinxin has been persuading His Highness."
"If you really want to do it, you should do it first."
"Once it's too late, like tonight, it's too late for His Highness to regret it."
"But fortunately, these movements outside should not come from our East Palace."
"Believe in the King of Han, the Six Commanders of the East Palace, and Hou Junji's side, nothing major happened."
"Otherwise, Chang'an City at this moment will be another scene."
"Maybe by tomorrow morning, His Highness will know what happened outside tonight..."
……
This night, it is doomed that too many people will not sleep.
