Li Yuan, who was furious, personally left the Taiji Palace, walked out of Chengtianmen, and stood on Chengtianmen Street, between Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. When he saw Zuo Yiwei General Yanjun Wang Luo Yi, Wu Wu's anger suddenly disappeared.
No trace.
Seeing Li Yuan and the prince coming, Luo Yi tried his best to get up from the ground, limping, and looked like he had suffered a big loss.
What a big loss indeed!
Her bun was messy, and her hat fell to the ground and was crushed.
The nose was bruised and the face was swollen, the cheeks were swollen, the bridge of the nose was depressed, and there was blood on the nose and mouth.
One eye was blue and swollen, looking quite funny.
Li Yuan was speechless for a moment. Luo Yi had been quite domineering for half a year since he came to Beijing. Part of the reason was the tacit approval of him as the emperor. Although he was very angry with Luo Yi for fighting in the imperial city, now it seems that... it's really
It's not a fight, it's a beating.
Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy. He turned around and looked at Li Shimin. The latter's face was calm and he took a step back... It was obvious that I would not take the blame.
Princess Pingyang, who was ordered to take charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, summoned the soldiers guarding Chengtianmen to inquire in a low voice, then stepped forward to narrate the whole story of the incident in Li Yuan's ear. At the same time, she couldn't help but take a few glances at the short and muscular man standing next to Luo Yi.
That person was Kan Leng, who made great achievements in the western expedition to Tuyuhun and was awarded the title of Marquis of Linji County.
Chai Shao once secretly marveled at Su Dingfang's proficiency in the art of war and his lightning speed, but he also lamented that Kan Leng fought bravely in battle and could not defeat the enemy.
On that day, Chai Shao led Kan Leng to defend the front line, but Tugu Hun continued to attack fiercely. Kan Leng held Mo Dao and not only defended like a rock, he could even move forward steadily, forcing Tugu Hun into chaos. Chai Shao then used his cavalry to attack from the side and won the victory.
When it comes to fighting on foot, Kan Leng's bravery is unparalleled by few in the world... Today is an example. Luo Yi was beaten so badly that Kan Leng's clothes were not even messed up.
Kan Leng entered the city today to ask for a battle... Please accompany the army to the south to put down the chaos in the Jianghuai River.
In fact, there was such an incident in history. Kan Leng had a high prestige among the Jianghuai army and had great achievements in quelling the chaos. Unfortunately, he was unjustly killed by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and it was not until the Zhenguan period that the verdict was overturned.
Luo Yi, who happened to be here today, was sarcastic. On the one hand, there was a rift between the two parties. Although Du Fuwei suffered a big loss a few months ago, two of Luo Yi's personal guards were maimed by Kan Leng. On the other hand, he heard that
It is said that Li Shan recommended Kan Leng to join the army in the Western Expedition... but this is not true!
Kan Leng seemed rough and arrogant, but he was not a rude person. He still wanted to swallow his anger, but Luo Yi became more aggressive... He pointed out that Kan Leng went south to join forces with Fu Gong'er, and that he wanted to rebel!
Others can tolerate it, but this kind of accusation really can't be tolerated. It was just a quarrel at the beginning, and after a few words, they started to fight... Princess Pingyang asked several people in detail, and told Li Yuan with certainty that it was Luo Yixian, the king of Yan County.
Moving hands.
Li Yuan's eyes flickered back and forth between Luo Yi and Kan Leng. In terms of status, one belonged to the clan and was conferred the title of King of Yan County, while the other was just a county prince, which was a lot different. The other was appointed as General Zuo Yiwei, and his position was
One of the Twelve Guards, another left-leading general, this one is only one level behind.
In terms of strength, the Youzhou Army and the Jianghuai Army are the strongest armies in the world.
However, Luo Yi attached to the East Palace and was the prince's strong support, while the Jianghuai army of Kan Leng's adoptive father Du Fuwei was in rebellion.
In addition, Luo Yi was beaten so badly in public, in front of hundreds of officials... Was Kan Leng slapping Luo Yi?
No, it's almost like slapping the prince!
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, Li Yuan could only be gentle with Luo Yi and severely punish Kan Leng... even though he had just made great achievements in the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun.
Li Jiancheng said softly with a cold face: "The Marquis of Linji County is so majestic. The beating of the clan officials in the imperial city shows the power of the Jianghuai Army."
This sentence has a vague tendency to regard Du Fuwei, Kan Leng and the rebellious Jianghuai Army as one. Kan Leng knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times, "I am not angry at the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army, and I am willing to do it for you."
The country has been suppressed by rebellion, and I am even more dissatisfied with the King of Yan for taking advantage of me at will, so I ask the sage to make the decision."
After all, everyone knew very well that it was Luo Yi who was provoking trouble today, and Kan Leng was just protecting himself. It was not until the other party faintly brought Du Fuwei in that he had no choice but to fight back.
But there is never true fairness and justice in this world.
Li Yuan snorted, "Call the Imperial Medical Office to diagnose Luo Qing's injuries. The Marquis of Linji County has acted carelessly and wantonly. I will demote the Linji County Male and remove the general who leads the army from the left."
Several prime ministers and assistants who came around did not say a word. It seemed like it was just a fight between two outsiders, but in fact it involved a fight between the court and the court... Luo Yi was attached to the East Palace, and the prince would never tolerate this. Although the saint had recently been to
The prince often criticized him harshly, but he obviously still wanted to protect him.
It's a pity that Kan Leng is in trouble... If it weren't for the Jianghuai Army's rebellion and Du Fuwei was still in Chang'an, I'm afraid the end would be even more worrying.
Looking at Kan Leng's slowly leaving back, Princess Pingyang was speechless. From Chai Shao's point of view, she and Kan Leng had a connection, but now that she was in charge of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, she naturally would not interrupt at will.
After deliberately expressing condolences to Luo Yi, Li Yuan was about to return to the palace when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, and several soldiers rushed towards him, looking quite flustered.
Princess Pingyang shouted: "Stop those who come!"
"Your Highness." The soldier stopped suddenly, "Hundreds of people wearing armor and holding weapons arrived at the Suzaku Gate!"
In the Imperial City of Chang'an, the Taiji Palace is the northernmost. To the south are the Yamen of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries. Further to the south is the Zhuque Gate, which is directly opposite the Zhuque Street in the center of Chang'an City.
In other words, it only took half a stick of incense to rush from the Zhuque Gate to the Chengtian Gate of the Taiji Palace. Li Yuan was furious at first. After entering the Zhuque Gate, it was the Twelve Guards Yamen. He was not worried, but then he became suspicious.
Turning sideways, he first glanced at Li Shimin, then at Li Jiancheng.
Li Shimin looked directly at him without dodge.
Li Jiancheng seemed calm, but his eyes flickered.
Princess Pingyang has already rushed over with her soldiers. Li Yuan's face was as dark as water, and he was pacing back and forth without saying a word. Several ministers around him did not dare to speak. Suspicious eyes were also on Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng's face was wandering back and forth.
.
Pei Shiju was also a little strange in his heart. What happened today was a bit weird. If there was a palace change, it would not be at this time... No matter whether it was the prince or the king of Qin, it was impossible. It couldn't be the king of Qi, right?
After all, people become wiser with age. Pei Shiju observed something for a moment and saw something... King Qin didn't seem surprised, or maybe he had a hand in this matter, but the prince's eyes flickered, as if he was afraid.
A quarter of an hour later, Princess Pingyang sent someone to report back, and Li Yuan suddenly walked forward until he reached the Zhuque Gate.
In the large open space outside the door, scattered weapons were scattered everywhere, and purple-black bloodstains could be seen everywhere. Hundreds of thieves were forced into a corner by the Beiya Imperial Army. Two majestic men and a short man were dressing their wounds.
The two big men had their backs facing each other, and Li Yuan couldn't tell who it was yet, but that stout man... was Kan Leng, who had just been dismissed from office.
"Um?"
Hearing her father's snort, Princess Pingyang said expressionlessly: "The Marquis of Linji County... The man from Linji County had just left the palace and ran into her head on. He was unarmed and fought to the death. When his daughter came out of the Zhuque Gate, she was seeing Linji.
A man from Ji County bravely killed a thief."
Li Yuan was a little embarrassed. He had just acted unfairly and was demoted and removed from his post. In the blink of an eye, someone was killing the thief outside the Zhuque Gate.
