Looking at the thin Wei Zheng in front of him and listening to his words that were cold to the bone, Li Jiancheng's panicked heart finally calmed down little by little.
Although he is not as calm as usual, at least he is not like a frightened bird at the beginning.
He exchanged a few words with Wei Zheng in a low voice, and then Li Jiancheng called his confidants to explain a few words.
When he saw his confidants leaving in a hurry with the tokens, Li Jiancheng took a deep breath. Amid Wei Zheng's advice, he combed his clothes again and walked towards the gate of the East Palace.
The name East Palace, as its name suggests, comes from the fact that it is located on the east side of the Imperial Palace.
Although it is close to the Royal Palace, strictly speaking, it is not part of the Royal Palace, but calls itself a place!
It occupies a huge area and has its own palace gates, city walls, guards, etc. It is just like a miniature royal palace!
When Li Jiancheng wants to go to the palace on weekdays, he usually does not go through the gate of the East Palace, but through the small door connected to the palace.
But now that the situation was unclear, Li Jiancheng decisively gave up the idea of passing through the small gate, and instead entered through the main gate via the Zhuque Gate.
Soon, the vermilion-red gate of the East Palace slowly opened.
The moment the door opened, countless soldiers with weapons outside looked over!
Inside the door, facing countless soldiers surrounding the door, Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and took a step forward!
"His Royal Highness, please return to your palace and wait for His Majesty's call!"
The moment he stepped out of the door, before Li Jiancheng could even stand upright, a fifth-grade military attaché suddenly stood in front of him and spoke to him in a cold voice.
Li Jiancheng stopped when he heard this, slowly raised his head, and his blood-red eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line!
"Snapped……"
Unprepared, a crisp slap suddenly sounded at the door of the East Palace!
"I'm going to see His Majesty. Do you want to stop me?"
What sounded at the same time as the slap was Li Jiancheng's low roar!
The general standing in front of him tilted his head, a clear fingerprint of his fingers was reflected on his face, and his arms were trembling slightly.
"I, I'm just following orders!" the general turned his head mechanically and said, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Li Jiancheng waved his hands and did not make another move. Instead, he just looked at him and sneered: "By order, by whose order?! I am the prince, who ordered you to imprison me!"
"I serve General Zuo Qianniuwei..."
The military commander was only halfway through saying this when he felt a sudden darkness in front of him.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a huge figure that looked like an ancient ferocious beast appeared behind the prince, with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes staring closely at him. His look was like a hungry wolf looking at fat meat!
"I don't care what general I am. If your Majesty's orders are not issued for a while, I am the prince of this world! Who dares to stop me except Your Majesty?!"
Waving his sleeves, Li Jiancheng seemed to be speaking to the generals, but also seemed to be talking to himself! When the surroundings were silent, he clapped his hands lightly: "Yinnu, lead the way! Go to see your father.
!”
Hearing this, Yin Nu opened his mouth and smiled silently. His frightening expression made the general stagger subconsciously and step back, making way for Li Jiancheng.
The other soldiers surrounding the East Palace looked at each other in shock!
Even their superiors retreated. They could not and did not dare to step forward to stop Li Jiancheng. They could only watch as Li Jiancheng walked out among them little by little with that huge figure!
"Bah! What are you looking at! Why don't you follow him!" I don't know how long it took, but the general finally came to his senses, roared, and followed him first, but this time he did not dare to stand in front of Li Jiancheng.
It's just decorated at the back not too far but not too far away.
At this time, at the gate of the palace.
Xiao Han was mingling among a group of officials, yawning and listening to the whispers of the people around him.
Although the whole city of Chang'an has been under martial law since the morning, seeing that something big happened in the city, those officials who lived in Chang'an and were preparing to attend today's Yuan Day ceremony rushed to the palace gate as soon as possible to wait for the emperor's summons.
It's still early now, and the news that the prince is involved in the rebellion has not yet fully spread.
Except for a very small number of insiders, the officials of the Tang Dynasty who were crowded here were still confused and asked each other why such a battle was being staged today.
"Rumble..."
I don’t know how long everyone had been waiting. In front of them, the closed Suzaku Door finally opened a gap, and then, a young eunuch quickly ran out from inside.
"Your Majesty has issued a decree to announce that King Qin will come to the palace!" the young eunuch's shrill voice sounded from the palace door, causing quite a commotion.
"Hey, my father-in-law is so polite. Can you tell us what happened in Chang'an today?"
"Yes, why are there so many people from the Sixteenth Guards on the street? Are there any gangsters entering the city?"
Seeing that the young eunuch had finished reading the oral instructions, some of the officials blocking the door showed their identity and immediately came forward to inquire with the young eunuch.
However, the little eunuch just turned red and shook his head. Finally, when Li Shimin came over, he immediately ducked into the palace gate and disappeared.
Li Shimin paused for a moment, and then followed him into the palace. However, before closing the door, he seemed to have accidentally glanced at Xiao Han outside.
"My son, Li Shimin, has met my father!"
After walking quickly, the young eunuch led him to a side hall. Li Shimin pushed the door open and saw Li Yuan. He quickly took a few steps, lowered his head and bowed his hands in salute.
In the room, Li Yuanbo was sitting behind a desk, wondering what he was thinking. When he heard some movement, he slowly raised his head.
"Shimin is here? No courtesy." Li Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, with indescribable tiredness in his tone.
"Here!" Li Shimin's heart moved when he heard this and he agreed.
When he straightened up and looked forward, he saw that his father, who had been so energetic a few days ago, suddenly looked ten years older, and even had gray hair on his head!
"Do you know what happened outside?" In the room, Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.
Li Shimin, who was standing in front of him, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and replied: "I only heard a little bit about it, but I don't know much about the matter."
"Haha, I don't know, it doesn't matter! After all, it is a scandal!"
As he spoke, Li Yuan's voice seemed to be full of endless depression!
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the papers on the desk in front of him. Then, without any warning, he suddenly stood up and swept everything on the desk to the ground!
For a moment, the sound of the stove breaking, the brush breaking, and the ink splashing echoed in this small side hall!
