I really can't control myself

When Linton and his troops arrived, the capital had just experienced a huge wave of chaos.

After careful consideration, Emperor Li Qing decided to run away. This was probably because news from the front came. He knew that Li Ying now had about hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were only a few thousand regular troops left in the capital.

Although the capital city is very strong, Li Qing must be panicking due to such a gap.

Fortunately, orders had been given to the Wang Sect to make advance preparations, so it was still too late to run away at this time.

It's just that the emperor here just gave the order secretly, and immediately the news spread to everyone. I have said before that it is generally impossible for people to know such an order. Even though Li Jinglong and his gang have been keeping an eye on the movements in the palace in private, it is impossible to receive the news so quickly.

So who spread the news? Of course she is the emperor's good daughter, the sixth princess who has always played an important role in this incident.

Although the matter of running away was very secretive, and the emperor basically told no one, he did not abandon his wife and children, not even telling his own family.

More importantly, he even wanted to choose someone to stay here and take charge of the overall situation.

Li Qing had a good idea. He ran away and left a son or the like here to continue the confrontation, just to buy him time. After all, if the news of his escape spreads, the capital will probably fall immediately. If Li Ying chooses to pursue him desperately, he will certainly be in danger.

Therefore, the best situation is that the capital can continue to hold off, preferably for another ten days and a half. By the time Li Ying and the others find out, it is already too late to continue the pursuit.

Of course, if you want to facilitate this, you must leave a person in charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, all the royal family would be gone and everyone would know that the emperor ran away.

Just as he was about to talk about it, he told his family that he was going to run away.

Unexpectedly, there was a prince who was willing to stay, and Prince Li Chengjing was willing to stay. He was an honest prince, and he wanted to share the worries of his father. He had no selfish motives at all, he just really wanted to stay and help Li Qing buy time.

There are also several princes who were not favored in the past, such as the fifth prince Li Chengyu and the sixth prince Li Chenghou. The main reason why they liked the one who stayed was that they had never been favored, and now they just wanted more attention from Emperor Li Qing.

In other words, they were probably still young and did not expect what kind of situation they would face. In their opinion, the person facing them was their imperial uncle after all, and even if they fell into his hands in the end, they probably wouldn't be ruthless.

Li Qing definitely didn't want Prince Li Chengjing to stay at first. He preferred the second prince Li Chengfeng. But the prince Li Chengjing was very insistent, saying that it would be easier for him to control the situation as the prince was present.

If the emperor is not here, he can say that the emperor is angry and sick, etc. When seeing the prince, there should not be many people who doubt that the emperor has run away. But the prince was not here either. They couldn't be said to have fallen ill at the same time. This would be too suspicious.

Li Qing was a little convinced. After all, the fifth and sixth princes were still too young and had not yet reached the crown. The second prince Li Chengfeng is completely silent now, pretending to be dead. It's not easy for Li Qing to hold the opponent's head.

However, before Li Qing here could make the final decision, someone had already made the decision for him.

While the emperor and the princes were still discussing, the sixth princess here actually took the time to leave the palace. Yes, the current situation is a bit chaotic even on the palace side.

Just now, students from the Imperial College were causing trouble at the entrance of the palace, and there were not enough guards in the palace. Now most of them were watching the group of Tai students in front of the main hall. No one actually cared about the Sixth Princess going out.

Naturally, the Sixth Princess overheard the discussion between the emperor and the princes and found out what was about to run away. The emperor didn't really call her about this, he just told the queen, the queen mother, and several other princes. Princesses, concubines and the like are out of the question at this time.

But the Sixth Princess had a habit of eavesdropping, and now she knew about it, so she hurried out of the palace and went directly to the residence of the Prime Minister Qi Yan.

The reason why I came here had nothing to do with the Prime Minister, mainly because Chu Chengwen was living in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. Yes, she came to Chu Chengwen right now to ask him to go with her.

As for why Chu Chengwen lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was of course because he knew the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yes, he and Qi Xinyao, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, were neighbors when they were children. Because the Prime Minister Qi Yan had not yet taken office at that time, he was just a scholar with a certain family background. Qi Yan's father happened to be an official in Ningzhou City, and the two could be said to have been childhood sweethearts since they were young.

But later, Qi Yan's father was transferred back to the capital, and Qi Yan was promoted to an official position. So the Qi family moved to the capital, and the two parties lost contact. More than ten years have passed, but Chu Chengwen has never forgotten that he still has a sister like this.

In fact, the most important purpose of his coming to the capital this time was to see this sister again. As for the sixth princess, the daughter of the Wang family, etc., they were all provoked after arriving in the capital.

The Sixth Princess started making trouble as soon as she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, because when she arrived, she saw her brother Chu having sex with Qi Xinyao, and she felt so sweet that she exploded on the spot.

She had no brains and was angry, so she directly told Chu Chengwen to let him go with her and ignore Qi Xinyao. After all, she couldn't run away and the emperor would not take their family with her. And Chu Chengwen had to run away because he had a grudge against Li Ying. Didn't everyone know that Chu Chengwen went to rescue someone and injured Li Ying's daughter Li Xiaoyue before? It would be dangerous to stay here, so the Sixth Princess was anxious. He hurriedly came to inform him.

This time it exploded. With her making such a fuss, Prime Minister Qi Yan of course also knew that the emperor was running away.

Qi Yan originally disagreed with the emperor running away. Of course, he was doing it for the sake of his family and country. How could the emperor run away? So he decided to remonstrate immediately to prevent the emperor from running away.

But when he thought about it, he might not be enough to stop the emperor. Why not contact some people to go together?

He didn't expect that this matter would be responded to by hundreds of people. For such a dangerous matter as a deadly remonstrance, most of the officials he contacted said they would go with him. Even Liu Wenxue, who he usually looked down upon at all and had already been branded as a traitor in his heart. He expressed that he wanted to die together to remonstrate.

Before Li Qing could finish the discussion, he was blocked by a large number of ministers again.
