Chapter 323: Crisis Deepening

As night fell, a carriage ran towards Xingqing Palace as if crazy. In the carriage, Yang Guozhong's voice kept urging, "Quick! Speed ​​up!"

The more than 200 guards who protected him around were surprised. In their memory, Yang Xiangguo had never been so in a panic. All of this was related to Fu Meng Lingcha's sudden visit.

Yang Guozhong was both nervous and excited in the carriage. He was shocked by the news that Li Qing'an was actually Li Jiancheng's descendant. He felt a sense of fear of Li Qing'an for the first time. No wonder Li Qing'an's identity has always been a mystery. It turned out that he was actually a descendant of Prince Yin, and excitement was his biggest handle to capture Li Qing'an. He knew that this time, the emperor would not let Li Qing'an go no matter what.

The seriousness of this incident made Yang Guozhong give up the plan to convene a family meeting tonight, and their family also encountered a serious crisis. He just learned today that the night before yesterday, the concubine actually cut her hair and moved back into Taizhen Temple in Daming Palace. Although it was not clear whether the concubine had become a monk, this incident was enough to shake the foundation of the Yang family.

Yang Guozhong didn't care about such a serious matter because he was the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He knew that Li Qing'an was a serious consequence after the completion of the construction, which was a serious threat to Li Longji's country. Yang Guozhong weighed the pros and cons. Instead of being sad with his family, it was better to go and secretly discuss major affairs with the emperor. The latter could instead protect his position as Yang Guozhong.

While anxiously urging the driver to drive quickly, Yang Guozhong turned around and asked Fu Meng Lingcha with concern, "Emeng Fu Meng, are you really sure to confirm that what that person said is true?"

Yang Guozhong had asked this sentence three times, but it was of great importance, so he was still not relieved. Hu Meng Lingcha sat behind him and entered the palace with him. He was also very nervous. He also knew that he had revealed a shocking secret. He had no idea what impact this shocking secret would have on him, but Hu Meng Lingcha had a faint expectation in his heart. He longed to return to Anxi and replace Li Qing'an again. From the day he left Anxi, he swore that he must come back.

Seeing Yang Guozhong nervous, Meng Lingcha also said a little nervously: "It should be true. I know that there is a Han and Tang dynasty Association in the Han and Tang dynasty Association. I know some leaders of the Han and Tang dynasty Association, but I didn't expect that there is a Hidden Dragon Society in the Han and Tang dynasty Association. There is also a legend in Anxi that the eighteen families will escort the Concubine Chang to the Sai Ye. He even talked about the dragon-patterned jade pendant, which is indeed reasonable and well-founded. More importantly, Li Qing'an's life experience has always been a mystery. Didn't the emperor force everyone to not talk about this matter?"

Yang Guozhong also sighed: "He did not investigate Li Qing'an's life experience at that time because he wanted to use him. Now, he actually tied himself up in a cocoon. I guess the emperor regretted it too."

Speaking of this, he instructed Humeng Lingcha again, "Go to see the Lord later, don't speak, I will answer everything, do you know?"

"Don't worry, the prime minister has a good job, and he will never overestimate his authority."

"Yeah!" Yang Guozhong nodded with satisfaction. This husband Meng Lingcha could tell the difference.

"Hurry up! Give me a little faster!"

The coachman tried his best to whip and pull the horse, and the carriage ran towards the Daming Palace like lightning.

Li Longji was in a very bad mood these two days. His concubine actually cut her hair into the sight, which made him both angry and distressed. Angry, Concubine Yang refused to admit her mistake and had a very stubborn temper. He must ask him to withdraw the disposal of Li Qing'an. Even for the sake of Li Qing'an, this made Li Longji even more jealous. Did the concubine fall in love with that Li Qing'an?

But I feel sorry for him that he might have lost the imperial concubine. After all, he has been pampering for nearly ten years, and he also has a certain relationship with the imperial concubine. It is a pity that such a beautiful beauty has become a monk like this. But what makes Li Longji feel a little relieved is that the imperial concubine did not really become a monk, but just moved into Taizhen Temple. Perhaps she would wait for her to cancel the execution of Li Qing'an.

Li Longji is also in his sixties this year, and he is extremely stubborn at this age. This is more obvious to Li Longji. He is paranoid. It is difficult for anyone to persuade him about what he decided. Yang Guifei tried to threaten him by becoming a monk. How could he give in!

Li Longji was also a little angry and embarrassed. Did Yang Yuhuan think that she was the only beautiful woman in the world? For the sake of a young general, he threatened him by becoming a monk. It would be better if such a woman wanted it! It was better for his Wu Xianyi to say that as long as a woman knows how to serve men, nothing else matters.

The stubbornness of one Yang Guifei and the gentleness and consideration of the other Wu Xianyi made Li Longji start to consider whether to establish another wise concubine.

"Your Majesty! Yang Xiangguo has an urgent matter to ask for a meeting." Yu Chaoen's urgent report interrupted Li Longji's thoughts.

"An urgent matter?"

Li Longji was stunned for a moment and ordered: "Call him to meet him!"

Although Li Longji and Yang Guifei had a deep conflict, he did not take his anger to Yang Guozhong because of this. Yang Guozhong, the prime minister, was attracted by many years ago. He did not need Yang Guozhong's ability to govern the country. He only needed Yang Guozhong to understand one thing, that is, the prime minister always obeys the monarch's power, which is also the best thing Li Linfu did.

At present, Yang Guozhong is completely qualified. Li Longji wants monarchy not because he wants to ask about state affairs. On the contrary, he doesn't want to ask about any state affairs anymore, but what he needs is Yang Guozhong's attitude, and he needs to be unobstructed and no longer have the confrontation of the minister's power. In short, Li Longji wants to do whatever he wants, and whether or not he does it is another matter.

After a moment, Yang Guozhong rushed into the room like a gust of wind, knelt on the ground, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I know a shocking secret."

"What's the matter? Calm down, the sky won't fall."

Li Longji said a little displeased. He just didn't like Yang Guozhong. He was almost fifty years old and could not calm down and did not calm down at all.

Yang Guozhong kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not calm, it's really shocking me. I know the mystery of Li Qing'an's life experience."

"What kind of life is he? Tell me!"

During this period, Li Longji had a conflict with the imperial concubine. Although Wu Xianyi's gentleness and considerateness and Mei Fei's beauty and refined beauty, they could not replace Yang Guifei's rich beauty and charm, but Li Longji was unwilling to give in to Yang Guifei. In this case, only Dugu Mingyue could replace Yang Guifei. Since he had this heart, Li Longji's desire for Dugu Mingyue has been stronger day by day, and getting rid of Li Qing'an's anxiousness is better than one day. He thought about how to get rid of Li Qing'an smoothly. Now Yang Guozhong suddenly revealed Li Qing'an's life experience, and Li Longji was a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, Li Qing'an has always concealed his true identity. He is actually a royal family. He is the one who has been the one who has built the prince."

Yang Guozhong's last words seemed to have a thunder thunder on the ground, shocking Li Longji. His mind was blank. I don't know how long he sat there, but Li Longji seemed to be returning to his soul. He stared at Yang Guozhong and asked, "What you said is true?"

"I will never dare to deceive Your Majesty. Meng Lingcha received a secret report from the Sai Ye people. Li Qing'an was indeed the descendant of the son born after Jiancheng Changfei fled to Sai Ye. In order to realize the unfulfilled wish of Jiancheng, the descendants of the Eighteen Generals also established the Yinlong Society. Their purpose was to promote Li Qing'an to the throne..."

Yang Guozhong described the situation reported by his husband Meng Lingcha in its entirety. After talking about it, he no longer dared to say it again. He found that Li Longji's face became darker and darker, and his eyes began to become congested.

A wave of anger that had never been before rushed towards Li Longji. He had been the emperor for forty years. He heard for the first time that someone wanted to seize his throne. Moreover, this man was a descendant of the prince who built the crown prince a hundred years ago. He had been hiding it from him. He was step by step to the high position and the frontier with a 200,000 army. This man wanted to seize his throne. This deceived anger almost burned his heart. At this moment, Dugu Mingyue was no longer important. What mattered was his throne. The throne he regarded as heavier than life was like a sledgehammer, hitting heavily on his old chest.

"Click!"

The white jade pen in his hand was folded into two pieces by him. His throat became sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His eyes turned black and he fainted softly on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Master!"

Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen seemed to be crazy and rushed towards Li Longji at the same time.

Chang Jin was a little uneasy these two days. He had been feeling uneasy about Li Yan's affairs. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not taking the matter properly. He shouldn't have let Li Yan go. Even if he didn't implement Li Qing'an's order, he should have sent someone to send them away. He had thought this way at the time, but in the end he gave up. It was still a kind of selfishness. Li Huichun was unwilling to ask about Li Yan's affairs, so he pushed him out, but he was also afraid of being Li Qing.

What do you know? It was because of the fear that Li Qing'an knew about this concern that made him regard Li Qi as a hot pebble, and sent him away in panic, and did not dare to contact him too much. Now that he thought, he was indeed a little careless. Li Qi and his son were not beasts, so he sent them away well. I believe that with Li Qing'an's spirit, he could understand their nostalgia. On the contrary, their hasty handling of Li Qi would leave a hidden danger. Chang Jin regretted it, but he could not find Li Qi's whereabouts, so he had to hope that their mother and son would really leave.

At night, Changjin was alone in the room to drink wine. At this time, a friend said to the outsider: "Master, there is a wife named Luo looking for you outside the door, and it seems that there is something urgent."

"Mrs. Luo!"

Chang Jinteng stood up and knocked the small table in front of him over. The wine, food and dishes rolled on the ground. He didn't care about these things, and he didn't even wear shoes, so he ran downstairs. Mrs. Luo had an urgent matter to find him. It must be something that Li Qi had. He was anxious and ran out of the door in one breath. He saw the anxious Mrs. Luo from a distance.

Li Qi only knew about the Huichun tea house, but Mrs. Luo knew that Rehaiju in West Chang'an was also an industry of the Han and Tang dynasties. She asked around and finally found Changjin. As soon as she saw Changjin, she cried, "Second Brother Chang, something happened to Shi'er, so save him!"

"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! Go into the house and say."

Chang Jin was panicked. When he saw that there was a young woman behind Mrs. Luo, he hurriedly asked, "Who is this?"

"She is Yan'er's wife and my daughter-in-law."

"Then let's go in together!"

Chang Jin led the two of them to the second floor, found a secluded house, and sat down and asked, "What happened to Shi'er?"

"Yi'er is missing!" Mrs. Luo cried.

"No! He went to find Fu Meng Lingzha, the former Anxi Jiedushi."

Mrs. Ning Qingyibiluo was rational. She held her mother-in-law's hand and persuaded: "Mom, it's already this time, we must tell the truth!"

Chang Jin was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he stuttered: "Girl, can you be sure?"

Ning Qingyi nodded and said, "Mr. I went home yesterday afternoon, and he got five hundred taels of gold from somewhere. My mother guessed that he must have asked you what you wanted, so she was in a hurry to leave Chang'an, but the man refused. He said that five hundred taels of gold was too little, and he had a way to get five thousand taels of gold. He slipped out early this morning. Until now, he has not come back yet. We asked around and heard the shopkeeper of a wine shop that the man went to find Fu Meng Lingcha, the former Anxi Jiedushi. We rushed to Fu Meng Lingcha Mansion again and learned that the man had indeed come, but was taken away by the government."

"Stupid!" Chang Jin punched the table hard and roared angrily.

Mrs. Luo was so scared that she dared not cry anymore. She looked at Chang Jin timidly, and was extremely scared.

Chang Jin was confused and regretful. He hated that he shouldn't have ruined major events yesterday for selfishness. Needless to say, Li Yan must have reported it. In this way, Yinlong would be in danger and Li Qing's safety! Chang Jin's heart was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Ning Qingyi deserves to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty, calm and rational. She immediately said: "In order to prevent the government from arresting people, Uncle Chang Si should immediately notify members of the Yinlong Association."

A word reminded Chang Jin. He looked at Ning Qingyi gratefully and said to them: "I guess the government has already arrested you. You can hide here and don't go back. I don't know Rehaiju yet. I want to go to Dongshi immediately and come back soon."

After saying that, he ordered his friend to close the store, and asked his confidant to hide the two of them in the backyard, rode his horse and headed straight to the east city.

But Chang Jin was still one step late. When he rushed to the gate of Dongshi, he saw that there were knives and yamen runners everywhere in Dongshi. They were on high alert and were not allowed to enter and exit. Everyone had torches, which made the gate of Dongshi brightly lit.

Chang Jin's heart suddenly fell into the abyss. He hid in a tavern. The second floor of the tavern was facing the gate of Dongshi. After watching for a moment, there was a chaos in the gate of Dongshi. Countless yamen runners came out of it. They caught a large group of people, basically all of them were friends from Huichun Tea House. They were tied up first. It was Li Huichun. His hair was disheveled, his robe was torn, and there were blood on the corners of his mouth. It was obviously beaten. Chang Jin's heart was cut and he slapped his big mouth hard. Tears surged out of his eyes. It was him who harmed Brother Li.

At this time, two closed carriages stepped forward and took their father and son on. Just as Li Huichun was escorted in the carriage, he suddenly turned his head and shouted, "If you have the ability, go and capture Li Qing'an, don't take us innocent people..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked and he pushed into the carriage. Chang Jin suddenly realized that Li Huichun was asking them to escape back to Anxi to report the news. Li Huichun looked at Juhaixing again. It was very quiet and not hit. Li Yunfeng, the shopkeeper of Juhaixing, was Li Huichun's second son. He was calling for his second son to escape. It was probably a sudden incident. The government had not thought of Juhaixing's cabinet. Thinking of this, Chang Jin quietly slipped downstairs and ran to the back door of Juhaixing. He happened to see Li Yunfeng coming out of the back door with a bag. When he saw Chang Jin, his eyes turned red and said, "Uncle Chang Si, I was about to find you."

"Stop talking, follow me quickly and we will leave Chang'an immediately."

"But what should I do if the money from the cabinet shop?"

"How much is our money?"

"There are about 50,000 jins. The general's new silver cake has not been delivered yet. The others are all the money stored by merchants. I guess they will flock to withdraw money tomorrow."

"Don't worry about so much, it's important to inform everyone to leave Chang'an."

Chang Jin pulled Li Yunfeng and the two quickly disappeared into the darkness. Of course, at night, Chang Jin and his group left Chang'an. They didn't dare to go to Anxi, so they hid in the suburbs near Chang'an.

Although the mystery of Li Qing'an's life experience was kept very closely, the news was leaked. After dawn the next day, a tense atmosphere was filled with the imperial city and various provincial and provincial court rooms in the Daming Palace. No one dared to discuss it publicly, but a wink and a note were quietly conveying this message. Li Qing'an was actually a descendant of the Prince Jiancheng, which was beyond the expectations of many people and was extremely exciting. Although Li Jiancheng's sons were killed, many people knew a legend. Back then, the Eighteen families would protect Concubine Chang and fled Chang'an, but they didn't know where to end. This news has always been a secret of unofficial history. A hundred years have passed, and it is meaningless whether it is true or not. But today, Li Qing'an's true life experience suddenly broke out, which made people involuntarily think of the legend a hundred years ago. It turned out to be true.

This dramatic decryption brought endless imagination to the officials. They also heard that Li Longji was so angry that he was so angry that it was equivalent to adding seasonings to the story, making the story more bizarre and exciting. Some people who are rich in imagination are already beginning to look forward to it. If Li Jiancheng's descendants replaced Li Shimin's descendants a hundred years later, what a irony would this be for the Xuanwu Gate Incident a hundred years ago.

Is it possible? No one knows it, but no one says it is impossible. Li Qing'an controls Anxi and holds 200,000 elite troops. How many troops are there in Guanzhong and how many troops are there in the heart of the Tang Dynasty?

At dawn, Li Longji finally woke up with the efforts of several imperial doctors. His awakening brought joy to the palace, but the joy was soon banned by Yu Chaoen. The emperor needed quietness, and Li Longji really needed quietness. From the moment he opened his eyes, he stared blankly at the ceiling. He had never been as clear as he was at this time, and many forgotten things were suddenly vivid in his mind.

That year, he was twenty-eight years old, with a heroic figure and a broad mind. His father pointed at him and said to his brothers: "Did you see it? This is the second son of Taizong."

It was at that moment that he established his status as the Lord of Nine Five. His elder brother was even more intimidated by his majesty and took the initiative to give up the throne, causing his father to shout: "Jiancheng is dead, Xuanwu Gate is not here!"

Forty years passed in a flash. When he entered his twilight years, Li Jiancheng was resurrected again, resurrected on his descendants, and was so close to him, and his arrows were so sharp that Li Longji couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "Father, Li Jiancheng is not dead!"

"Your Majesty, I advise you to remember it."

The chief imperial physician Sun Siyi, who was standing beside the dragon bed, whispered: "Your Majesty can no longer take the fragrance of the helping flower, it has seriously deteriorated His Majesty's body."

"I understand, you go back!"

Li Longji was a little angry with the imperial physician who interrupted his memories of the past. His tone was extremely impatient. Sun Siyi sighed, not knowing what to say, but he dared not say something. He didn't dare to say that if there was another time, he would be powerless. He just discovered that the fragrance of flowers that helped love was actually a very strange and strong aphrodisiac. It induced a little vitality from the internal organs and would lay a hidden danger. However, this hidden danger would not be released immediately, but would accumulate slowly and accumulate to a certain extent. Under the inducement of external factors, it would collapse in the body, causing the body to be destroyed.

The reason why this love-assisting fragrance is more powerful than the previous one is because of its concealment, which makes the takers feel only the benefits but cannot detect the consequences. They cannot do without it without knowing it. Despite discovering this serious problem, Sun Siyi still dared not say it explicitly, because he personally inspected and agreed to the emperor to take it. If he said it, wouldn’t he be guilty of deceiving the emperor?

At this time, Yu Chaoen stepped forward and advised: "Doctor Sun, the emperor has important matters to deal with, so you can go down first!"

Sun Siyi nodded and went out with the medicine box. As soon as he left, Li Longji said to Wu Xianyi who was sitting beside him: "Give me a pill, the kind I take every day."

Wu Xianyi knew what Li Longji wanted, and she also said worriedly: "Your Majesty, didn't the imperial doctor just now say that the medicine can't be taken anymore?"

"Do you dare not listen to my words?"
To be continued...
