Chapter 628 Betting is yourself

Li Yuan, who returned to the imperial study room, sat down on the chair, looked at the memorial that had not been processed on the table and frowned slightly. He picked up a copy and looked at it, but he didn't know why it was a little confused and didn't care what was written on the memorial. He just watched the memorial for a while and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf and searched for a while, and found a memorial in a corner. The memorial was presented two months ago. After reading it, Li Yuan put it in the corner on the bookshelf. At that time, he thought this was a bit strange, but the person sent to investigate did not find anything wrong. The person who went to investigate was a careful and very good at handling cases. With his ability, if there was any hidden information, he would definitely find it out.

Sitting down and reading the memorial carefully again, Li Yuan's brows gradually twisted into a bump.

"Come on, go and find Dugu Xue, now!"

"Here!"

Gao Liansheng, the chief eunuch guarding outside the door of the imperial study, quickly agreed and turned around and instructed the eunuch on duty to find the guard general Dugu Xue. Although he had not been with Li Yuan for a long time, if he had not heard the sound, he could guess how the emperor could have achieved this position.

Dugu Xue, who had already fallen asleep, heard that the emperor was summoning urgently, quickly got up and changed his clothes and trotted outside the door of the imperial study room. Gao Liansheng whispered to him: "Your Majesty has told you to go in directly if you arrive... Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood, so Lord Dugu should be careful."

Dugu Xue nodded and thanked him in a low voice, pushed the door and walked in.

"His Majesty"

After Dugu Xue entered the door, he bent over and saluted. When he bent down, he secretly swept over the corner of his eyes and found that Li Yuan's face was indeed not very good. The thing he was holding in his hand was a while ago. He had a very good memory and had the ability to remember everything he had seen. When he was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, he could remember almost the same case files for almost a whole year. As long as someone asked, he could tell them.

Speaking of which, when he first arrived in Chang'an, Li Yuan intended to be the Minister of Justice, but he did not hesitate to offend the emperor and did not accept it. But now he, the general of the prison guard, is almost no different from the official of the Ministry of Justice. The emperor asked him to investigate many things. The more things he found, the more secrets he knew, so much that he was a little uneasy when he was sleeping.

"The matter about the old house in Longyou...you tell me again."

"yes!"

Dugu Xue responded, but his heart suddenly tightened: "According to the fact that Liu Wuzhou was defeated by His Highness of Qin, most of his troops were taken over by the King of Qin, but thousands of remaining soldiers fled, the largest of which was about a thousand people. The leader was Zhou Xunke, the general under Liu Wuzhou. In order to avenge Liu Wuzhou, he pretended to be the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty to deceive the city gate, and then... After killing people, he set a fire. The people in the city were burned to death. Even the county magistrate was burned to death at his home. The fire took three days to be extinguished, and most of the houses in the city were destroyed."

"You have checked the corpse"

"I have checked all the bodies that I can find, but some of them have burned only half of their bodies, and some have burned into charcoal, which is really difficult to determine their identity."

"It's true that there are only one person?"

"Not many."

"Are you sure Lao Zhen, the official in the old house, is dead?"

"The body was found in his small yard, and it was killed by someone's throat. Because the body was sank in the yard, it was not burned by fire, so it was still vaguely recognizable."

Li Yuan nodded, put down the memorial and pondered for a while, saying, "You are sending people to check the number of people and bring the people guarding the city. At that time, I saw the people who were remnants who came back from the city. I want to ask in person. Zhou Xun ran away after killing people, but there is no news yet... Although there are only some servants left in the old house, they are all my people. A remnants dare to be so arrogant. Do I have no one under my command to arrest the murderer?"

"General Yunhui Chu Huo is already chasing him with his men."

Dugu Xue answered.

"But after chasing for more than two months, I didn't even see Zhou Xunke's shadow!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You put aside all the other things on hand first. This matter is important. Send someone to tell Chu Huo that if you can't find Zhou Xunke's trace within a month, then he won't come back to see me. My subordinates will not only raise some useless waste!"

"minister……"

Dugu Xue knew that the emperor was in a very bad mood now, but he couldn't help but remind him: "I am just a general in charge of the gate and guard the palace."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I know that these things should not be left to you, but would you be so embarrassed if you took over the errands of the Ministry of Justice honestly? There are many candidates for the general of the prison guard, but I still keep the position of Minister of Justice for you."

"I am really afraid of the errands of the Ministry of Justice."

Dugu learns Taoism.

"Go first, I want to be quiet."

Li Yuan seemed a little tired and waved his hand and said, "After the prince's affairs are over, you will go to the Ministry of Justice to serve. If you dare to say no, I will let you and Gao Liansheng take turns to the imperial study."

Dugu Xue smiled bitterly and bowed to leave.

“It’s so similar…”

Li Yuan looked at the memorial on the table, and there was a gloomy gap between his eyebrows. He was about to calm down and deal with the matter at hand, when suddenly someone outside hurried over, and his voice was crying and anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is wrong... The Queen... The Queen has returned to heaven!"

...

...

In less than two months, Li Yuan lost three close relatives in succession. King Li Yuanji of Qi died in the Dongdu camp. It is said that he was suddenly killed by Li Jing when he ordered the execution of Li Jing. Is the truth like this? Li Yuan didn't want to find out, because he really didn't want to believe it or admit the truth.

The prince was killed on the wall of Xuanwu Gate more than ten days ago. Because of various reasons, the tomb that Li Yuan ordered to build was not yet completed when he ascended the throne. He gave the tomb to the prince. Unexpectedly, the prince's coffin was still parked in Fengnian Hall, and the queen actually left.

In an instant, Li Yuan felt as if he was beaten hard by a heavy hammer. He had been holding on for such a long time and finally could not hold on anymore. When he heard the words "The Queen's Return to Heaven", he suddenly stood up and looked at the eunuch who reported the news, opened his mouth and dizzy in front of him. The emperor's body fell softly to the ground, frightening the eunuch who reported the news and the eunuch who reported the news Gao Liansheng.

The on-duty imperial doctor who had just run to the Queen's bedroom had to run to the Imperial Study room in a hurry. Li Xian, who had been watching the busy people in the Queen's bedroom, heard that Li Yuan had fallen into a coma, and had a vague premonition in his heart. When he followed the Imperial Doctor to the Imperial Doctor, Li Yuan had not woken up yet. The Imperial Doctor rushed over to the Imperial Doctor and rolled his eyelids and looked at the nose. Li Xian took advantage of the chaos and walked into the Imperial Doctor and stood aside and watched.

He suddenly saw a memorial on the table, because it was not far from the table, and Li Xian could see some familiar words on it, Longxi... the old house...

The general of the guard guard Dugu Xue looked at Li Yuan nervously, and suddenly saw that the King of Yan seemed to be interested in the memorials on the table. Others were all focused on the emperor, but he found that the King of Yan seemed to have moved a few steps towards the desk unintentionally. His eyes changed, and he coughed and asked, "Your Highness... Do you want to invite Lord Na Yan and other important officials in the court?"

Li Xian paused and a trace of doubt flashed in his sight when he looked at Dugu Xue.

"You're asking me?"

He asked.

Dugu Xue nodded and said, "The official now... can only ask you."

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Then please."

"Here"

Dugu Xue responded and subconsciously glanced at the memorial on the desk. Li Xian looked at him, slowly moved away and walked to the imperial doctor, looking at the anxious imperial doctor and whispered: "Let me do it."

After Dugu Xue walked out of the room, he couldn't help but look back at King Yan who was taking his pulse for His Majesty. He always felt that his behavior had been a little abnormal before. He seemed to have found something in his mind for a moment, but it was very blurry. He shook his head and walked out quickly. What he didn't know was that a pair of eyes were staring at his back until it disappeared.

Gao Liansheng woke up after seeing the King of Yan massage, and quickly handed over a cup of hot tea. Li Xian took it and handed it to Li Yuan. Li Yuan gasped and shook his head slowly, his face was so pale. He looked at Li Xian's eyes and asked word by word: "How could the queen suddenly return to heaven?"

Li Xian did not answer, but glanced at the imperial doctor and the servants in the room.

"You all go out, all go out!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered.

Gao Liansheng hurriedly took the people out of the imperial study room. After only the two of them were left in the room, Li Xian said: "The queen was very emotional. She cried and laughed. She asked me closer, so I sat by the bed and lit up the lights. The queen asked me where I had been in the past few years. I said... on the way to kill people and avoid being killed."

He raised his head and looked at Li Yuan and continued, "The Queen cried loudly, and a mouthful of phlegm didn't come up and got stuck in her throat. I asked someone to hurry to find the imperial doctor. Because I was very skilled in medicine, I massaged the queen first, but it didn't work... Her body was really weak. Before the imperial doctor arrived, the queen had already cut off her breath."

"you……"

I don’t know what Li Yuan was going to say, but he took back the words afterwards.

...

...

Not long after returning to his mansion, Liu Zhenghui and Pei Ji, who had just lie down and were about to go to bed, were startled by the news brought by the people sent by the palace. They almost jumped out of their beds. They quickly changed their court uniforms and got on the carriage toward Tai Chi Palace. Pei Ji's carriage met Xiao Yu's carriage halfway. The two of them pulled the curtain up and looked at each other. Pei Ji found that Xiao Yu's face looked extremely ugly, but he also knew that his face was not far away.

"I just said that person cannot enter Chang'an City!"

Two carriages were walking side by side, Xiao Yu looked at Pei Ji and said in anger.

"It was his Majesty's intention that he entered the city. Do you think you could decide such a big deal?"

Xiao Yu was choked by Pei Ji's words, shook his head and put the curtain down with a cold expression. He ordered, and the carriage accelerated over Pei Ju's car. Pei Ji also put down the curtains of the car. Thinking of what Liu Zhenghui said not long ago when King Yan came in, he felt as uncomfortable as if he was so icy that he was in a big piece of ice.

"More than 30,000 people died on the day when the King of Qin entered the city... I hope that King of Yan would not die if he entered the city."

"I hope you'll be safe."

These words were still in my ears. I didn't expect that someone would die in such a short time, and the Queen was the one who died... The weight was indeed too heavy. The more Pei Ji thought about it, the more desolate and sad it felt in his heart, and he couldn't help sighing... What's wrong with the Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with His Majesty?

King Qi, prince, queen...

Hirozawa

Zhang Zhongjian and Da Xi Changru sat on the chair and looked at Xu Shiji in front of him. Both of them looked very solemn and solemn. In front of them was a huge sand table, which was ten meters in radius. The mountains, rivers and rivers of the whole world were almost clearly presented. Xu Shiji stood next to this huge sand table, staring at a certain place to ponder.

I don’t know how long it took, but he breathed a sigh of relief: “No matter what, the lord’s plan is really too dangerous. He put himself in Chang’an City’s heart, but how long can we hide the matter here? Once the news reaches Chang’an City, the lord’s situation will be too dangerous!”

"He should know the danger better."

Daxi Changru stood up and walked to Xu Shiji, and said solemnly and seriously: "But he went anyway, and then handed over this big thing to you. I know this may be too difficult and heavy, but he said he could trust you, and he also said that he was not as good as you in the military strategy and formation, so he said that he would do other things... and leave the things on the battlefield to you."

Xu Shiji was silent for a moment and said, "What makes people feel a little more at ease is that the lord took advantage of Li Huining's opportunity to bring tens of thousands of troops by his side. As long as he does not live in Chang'an City, there will be no danger when he boards the ship and sails."

I don’t know, if Li Huining heard this, he would be so heartbroken. Only by escorting her, only when Li Shimin rebelled, could Li Xian take the navy and tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Chang'an. Before leaving, Li Xian once said that if you want to bet, you should be bigger. Who would have thought that the bet he put on this time was himself?
