Li Shimin continued to practice calligraphy in Anzhiruosu in the hot spring palace.

Li Jiancheng sighed and felt a little confused in the palace.

As the father of the two, Li Yuan, who was also Emperor Li Tang, was very heartbroken because of his two sons' attacks on each other.

But just when Li Yuan was worried, Pei Ji, who was guarding Chang'an, urgently sent someone to inform Li Yuan. The general Li Shentong, who was guarding Hanoi, urgently reported that Li Chongjiu led an army of 200,000 from Youjing to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the news came out, Li Yuan couldn't believe it. As far as he knew, Li Chongjiu had just completed his expedition to the Turks for only two months, and his vitality had not yet recovered. Hundreds of thousands of troops were exhausted, but the north of the grassland was not determined, and the literary virtues of Goguryeo's Yizhi were unstable, and Song Jingang was fighting against Lin Shihong in the south.

Li Chongjiu would never be able to send troops to attack Li Tang at this time. With Li Yuan's understanding of Li Chongjiu, he would not suddenly send troops to fight him before he was ready, which is very different from his usual cautious and polite style.

Therefore, it is reasonable to judge that Li Yuan did not believe that Li Chongjiu sent troops to attack Tang, but on his desk, the letter from Li Shentong was very convincing. Li Yuan always trusted Li Shentong very much, although he repeatedly lost troops and generals, so Li Yuan had no doubt about what he said in his letter.

In March, it was already raining in Chang'an City.

The morning rain wet the yellow dust on the street.

The morning drums in Chang'an City seem to be a little late today. The people who were about to go out of each house urged them for a long time before Fangding slowly opened the door. The people were surprised to find that the streets of Chang'an today seemed to be a little different from the past.

Wuhou, who had gotten up early in the past, had already been patrolling the streets at this point, but today it was Chang'an's southern imperial guards patrolling the streets. All streets were on high alert. Facing Zhuque Street, the doors of several dukes and marquis were closed tightly at this moment, and an unusual undercurrent surged in the city of Chang'an.

A carriage was driven out of Tiance Mansion, followed by several guards from the Qin King's Mansion, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Hou Junji, were all in the carriage.

Fang Xuanling said slowly: "The assassination of Yang Wengan yesterday was a failure and was saved by others."

After hearing this, Hou Junji sneered: "Gongsun Wuda, Liu Shili, the dead soldiers of the Qin Palace who had been trained for many years, failed. It's really surprising."

Fang Xuanling said: "There is indeed something strange. This should have been a foolproof assassination. Qiao Gongshan was able to survive from the Jingshui boat. I guess these two are not coincidentals."

Du Ruhui said: "Yes, Chang'an is not the two families of King Qin and Prince who are singing a diagonal show."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Yes, I understand, but these are irrelevant to the overall situation."

"Yes. Since yesterday, the rumors we made up have spread in Chang'an. Li Chongjiu led a army of 200,000 from Youjing to cross the Taihang Mountains to Pujin. Now all the civil and military ministers have believed the news. We have received the imperial edict invited by the King of Qin from the Emperor, and the guards inside and outside Chang'an. We are all controlled by our orders, and we are now firmly controlling the inside and outside Chang'an." Du Ruhui said slowly.

"Chang'an is the King of Qin at present. No one can make the world come true."

After hearing this, Hou Junji flashed in his eyes: "Then two military advisors. We have already controlled Chang'an. What should we do next? Will we besiege the Hot Spring Palace?"

"No," Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "This is the worst strategy. There are still five thousand Northern Yai imperial guards on duty in the Hot Spring Palace. After all, the emperor is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If we directly point the finger at the emperor, it is likely to cause fluctuations among the soldiers. Even the confidant of the Qin Palace will probably be difficult to stabilize."

Du Ruhui said: "Junji, don't you know? The King of Qin is also in the Hot Spring Palace now, attacking the Hot Spring Palace. What if it is unfavorable to the King of Qin?"

Hou Junji said angrily: "I knew it if I had known that the King of Qin took the emperor's edict and directly rebelled. Why should I listen to the emperor's summons and go directly to the Hot Spring Palace. Now, we are timid when we act."

Fang Xuanling said: "Jun Ji, you don't understand the painstaking efforts of the King of Qin. If the King of Qin did not enter the tiger's den, how could he get a tiger's son? If the King of Qin did not go to the Hot Spring Palace, Your Majesty would have been suspicious of all our arrangements. On the contrary, the King of Qin is in the Hot Spring Palace for one day, Your Majesty would not be suspicious of us for one day, so we have enough time to make arrangements in secret."

Hou Junji said, "You two military advisors, anyway, they make sense. I am a rough man, and I can't tell you, but if the King of Qin has many shortcomings, I, the old Hou, will not let you go. What should you do now? Go to the Hot Spring Palace to find a way to ask the King of Qin?"

Fang Xuanling said: "No, the King of Qin is under heavy surveillance now and will not send messages from the Hot Spring Palace. As for the next step, it is to war to kill the prince and the two of Qi, and we will succeed."

Du Ruhui said: "Yes, we must kill the prince and the king of Qi directly without disturbing the emperor and the king of Qin, and then warn the emperor to succeed."

Hou Junji said: "Don't sing and playing puzzles again. How can you not disturb the emperor and the King of Qin and kill the prince and the King of Qi? If we were in the Hot Spring Palace, we would have no way. Once the troops left Chang'an City, the Hot Spring Palace would know."

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "That's of course, so we can't do it in the Hot Spring Palace, so we have to do it in Chang'an. We want to invite His Majesty and the Crown Prince, the King of Qin, back."

Du Ruhui said: "Jun Ji, that's why we want to ask Li Shentong to spread rumors that Li Chongjiu led his army to attack Chang'an. What will happen next after hearing this news?"

"Of course your Majesty will return to Chang'an from the Hot Spring Palace immediately," said Hou Junji's body and asked, "Are you planning to intercept the prince halfway?"

Du Ruhui said: "It's not halfway, it's no different from being in the Hot Spring Palace. The place we have to take action is to choose this Chang'an City, and we have chosen all the places."

"Where?" Hou Junji asked nervously.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both smiled but said nothing. At this time, the carriage outside slowly stopped and someone said outside: "Chief Fang, Xuanwu Gate has arrived."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Okay, let's get off the car!"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling picked up the curtain of the car and looked at the towering city tower in front of him.

The bells in Chang'an City echo leisurely.

At the hot spring palace in Mount Li, night was already falling. Li Yuan walked in the hall for a long time and said, "Tell me my will!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Secretariat began to plan a call on the shore.
