Tang Dynasty Never Night

At this time, Li Chongyi and Zheng Jin had already fallen asleep early, but the torches outside and various noises woke them up abruptly.

After Zheng Jin woke up, he sent someone to find out what happened. If there was nothing serious, he would not join in the fun, but what he found out surprised him.

Even if he was always young and mature, he couldn't help but said at this moment: "Is Mr. Huainan crazy?"

Although the people who followed Zheng Jin had expressions of approval on their faces, they didn't dare to say anything more. After a momentary gaffe, Zheng Jin quickly calmed down: "Go, follow me to see the county king."

With such a big commotion, Li Chongyi must have woken up, and Zheng Jin happened to drag him to the front hall to find Li Xian and the others.At this moment, Li Chongyi hadn't come to his senses yet. Li Fan was considered his cousin in terms of seniority. Although he was senior, he had a high title, so these people are more polite when they meet each other.

I also know that even if these people are angry, they can't take it out on their children. What's more, although Li Chongyi is Li Xian's nephew in name, everyone knows that Li Xian basically raised him as his son. Who would dare to offend him?Isn't it easy to coax a child?

Li Chongyi really regarded them as good people, but in the blink of an eye, the good people in his eyes made such a big noise, Li Fan made it clear that the chariots and horses were planning to rebel.

When Li Chongyi came to his senses, he was furious. After all, Zheng Jin was older than him and could stand still. When he came over, Li Chongyi was about to copy the guys out and cut down the group of people who came to threaten his uncle.

Zheng Jin was taken aback when she saw Li Chongyi like this: "What are you going to do?"

Li Chongyi raised his serious bun face and said forcefully, "I'm going to kill these gangsters!"

Zheng Jin was taken aback by the strong murderous intent in his words, and quickly stopped him and said, "Why are you so impulsive?"

Li Chongyi turned to look at him, his black eyes became brighter and brighter against the light: "They've all been killed, do I want to catch them without a fight? A bunch of bastards! How did uncle ever feel sorry for them? I didn't expect them to be so ambitious! "

Seeing that Li Chongyi would not be able to calm down for a while, Zheng Jin had no choice but to go over and snatch the dagger in his hand and said with a grimace: "Even if you are angry, you must have confidence in the king! The defense of Chang'an is in the hands of the king. There must be a reason why they surrounded the palace so easily."

To put it simply, Zheng Jin didn't believe that those gangsters were able to gather so many people under the noses of Li Xian and Zheng Qi. If they really had this ability, then they should have turned back a long time ago instead of waiting until now!

The so-called coercion of the emperor to order the princes is just an idea. What Li Fan aimed at was actually the money, food, soldiers and horses in Li Xian's hands.There is also a reason why he chose to start the incident in the middle of the night. One is because everyone is asleep in the middle of the night. At this time, it is easiest to catch the opponent by surprise. The second is that it is not easy for the opponent to mobilize troops!

There are only a small number of guards stationed in the city. If you count the number of people alone, Li Xian must have quite a few as the regent, but there are so many people on Li Fan's side. It was such a joy, it really made him find a lot of clans, and these clans were a little further away.

The Li family was originally a family before ascending to the throne, and the family was very large. Many descendants and grandchildren were actually no different from ordinary people except for one surname.

These people also have ambitions, and they also want to make their family prosperous. Before, they wanted to persuade the regent to rebel, but now Li Fan has really convinced them——Li Xian and Li Fan are far away from their blood relationship. But Li Xian has orthodoxy, and no one except the Emperor would dare to overthrow it easily, and Li Fan... his name is not right, and his family is not strong enough.

Cooperate with him first, if it really works, find a chance to kill him, take a step back and say, even if you don’t kill him, their family’s reputation is not good, and it will be easy to suppress him when Li Fan takes over, 30 years in Hedong 30 years Hexi, let him take the lead now!

So such a rebel group that helped each other was formed with their own ulterior motives. Of course, their goal at this stage is relatively consistent, that is to take down the regent first, and then rebel in the name of the regent!

Li Xian and Zheng Qi encountered a disturbance before finishing their game of chess, Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi with a smile on his face and said, "Go quickly, I won't go."

Zheng Qi glanced at him, knowing that the reason Li Xian was happy was because he was going to lose - Li Xian had never won a game of chess with Zheng Qi.

When Li Chongyi and Zheng Jin came over, they happened to see Li Xian picking up the chess pieces with a smile on his lips. Li Chongyi felt at ease when he saw Li Xian like this.

As soon as Li Xian packed up the chess pieces, he looked up and saw Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi slowly approaching. He couldn't help waving to them and said, "Are you woken up by them? Are you scared?"

Li Chongyi was already very familiar with this movement of Li Xian, and after seeing it, he trotted all the way to be held in his arms by Li Xian, rubbing his face and touching his head in various ways.

Li Chongyi said vaguely while contributing his steamed bun face: "No!"

"Really? Da Lang is so brave?" Li Xian was clearly coaxing the child.

Li Chongyi looked at Li Xian seriously and said, "Well, I was a little anxious at first, but when I saw my uncle, I thought it was nothing serious."

Li Chongyi has always had a kind of blind admiration for Li Xian. At first, it was only because Li Xian was the closest older man around him as long as he could remember. Later, he adored Li Xian even more after learning about Li Xian's various inventions, creations, and various miraculous experiences. up.

Li Xian couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard what Li Chongyi said. Although Li Chongyi was a child, being watched by a child so admiringly made Li Xian unconsciously start thinking about whether he had brought any bad influence.

Li Chongyi's existence can be regarded as a good incentive for Li Xian, so now basically he will try his best to prevent things that he doesn't want to happen, instead of thinking that he can't do it or don't care about it like before, he wants to do something for Li Chongyi What a role model.

What's more, in the past, he was full and the whole family was not hungry. Now he always plans to leave a way for Li Chongyi.

Li Xian pampered Li Chongyi's head, looked up at Zheng Jin and said softly, "Your elder brother has already gone to deal with those gangsters. If you are sleepy, go back to sleep."

Zheng Jin shook her head and said, "If you wake up, you won't be able to sleep."

How heartless would it be to fall asleep after such a big thing happened?Li Chongyi didn't want to go to bed either, so Li Xian had to ask someone to make some warm supper for the two of them.

At the same time, Zheng Qi was showing the gap between IQ and force to those gangsters with limited IQ.When he went out, the people outside were still crying and howling. To be honest, Li Fan really wanted to lead people to attack directly, but he knew in his heart that doing so would ruin his reputation.

Although he didn't care about his reputation when he rebelled, but he had to get by. After all, he was born in the royal family, how could he be like a bandit?He also made up his mind to salute first and then soldiers, and then lead the soldiers to fight in after shouting about the same. He calculated that from the beginning of the shouting, it would be almost time for a cup of tea. This time is not short, and the inside is estimated to be When you're not ready, it's time to clean up.

As a result, he instructed his men to call the second round, and the gate of the Regent's Palace opened.Li Fan was sitting on the horse with a look of covetous eyes. He was startled when the gate opened, and even the horse took two steps back. Preemptively shouted: "Who is coming?"

Zheng Qi was dressed in a purple official uniform, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, his appearance was indescribably leisurely and content, and under the background of the moonlight, he became more and more beautiful like jade, even if Li Fan saw Zheng Qi like this I can't help but praise: good manners.

It's just... Zheng Qi's reaction is not right, is it?How can a family be so calm when surrounded by soldiers and horses?Although the Prince Regent's Mansion is not Zheng Qi's Minister's Mansion, it's just that Zheng Qi and Li Xian have basically been very unscrupulous in Chang'an. Everyone knows what happened to these two people, and the Prince Regent's Mansion is more like home to Zheng Qi.

People in Chang'an City don't mind if they are so lawless. This couple is really eye-catching, and they seem to be very equal in status, and there is no intention of favoring the other. Of course, there are naturally people who don't like it, but Li Xian He and Zheng Qi didn't care too much.

"Huainan Duke doesn't even recognize me?" Zheng Qi stood at the door without any guards.

But don't look at him alone in Li Fan's eyes, there is a sense of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi. Li Fan couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the rein, but he still asked calmly: "Where is the regent?" ?”

"Why did Duke Huainan come late at night?" Zheng Qi didn't seem to see the guards with weapons, but just looked at Li Fan fixedly and asked.

Li Fan became more nervous and couldn't help swallowing, but at this time he couldn't retreat, so he straightened his back and said: "Now the Wu family is in trouble, I want to ask the regent to come out and uphold justice anyway! "

"Please?" Zheng Qi raised his voice at the end and looked around for a week: "Is this how you invited me?"

Li Fan said loudly: "The Prince Regent was threatened by the Wu family, and lacked the power to make a decision. We had no choice but to ask the Prince Regent to follow the people's will!"

Zheng Qi asked, "How is this different from rebellion?"

Li Fan didn't answer but asked rhetorically: "What's the difference between Wu's rebellion and rebellion?"Too long to live?

Zheng Qi still said in a good voice: "Duke Huainan has the whole world in his heart and admires him, but this kind of behavior is in line with the rebels. I ask you to think twice before you act. If you just withdraw the army, why don't you just pretend that this has never happened?"

How could Li Fan retreat?This kind of thing is that there is no turning back. No matter who is led by others to surround his house, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely take revenge. At least Li Fan felt that he could not let it go, let alone Zheng Qi. Personality These people know in their hearts that compared to Li Xian's softness, Zheng Qi is much stronger. Now that even the strong Zheng Qi has said such words, it can be seen that he is about to be subdued.

"Why does the Shangshu help the tyrant? Get out of the way quickly, and let me meet the regent!"

Zheng Qi's face turned cold: "Is the Regent the one you can see as soon as you want? Huainan Gong and you are determined to do this?"

Li Fan resolutely said: "We have made up our minds, if the Shang Shu continues to block us, don't blame us for disregarding the old feelings!

Who has any sympathy with you, Zheng Qi sneered in his heart, and said decisively: "Since you are obsessed with obsession, there is nothing to say, and everyone will be punished for rebellious officials and thieves!"

As soon as Zheng Qi's words fell, Li Fan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but before he could think about what was going on with this premonition, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps.

Li Fan's complexion changed at that time, and when he realized it, he found that the group of people who surrounded the Prince Regent's Palace had been surrounded by counterattacks!

This is an ambush!This was Li Fan's first reaction, and his second reaction was that someone leaked the news?At this time, the people he brought were already in a panic. The soldiers who surrounded them in the dark were all wearing black clothes and they didn't see clearly. When they saw clearly now, many people were going to be scared to pee—the soldiers were artillery, Not only that, but they also have the smallest size firecrackers in their hands!

The so-called artillery is actually the army established after Li Xian "invented" firecrackers and cannons. Special training is to use these firearms. Affected by craftsmanship and Li Xian's personal skill points, the firecrackers have only been slightly reduced after so many years Looking at the size, the accuracy of the head is still a mystery, so it can only fire shotguns, and it is still close range.

It's just that there is a limit to how close the firecrackers can be. Li Fan and the others do have crossbowmen, but these crossbowmen were caught off guard before they had time to play their role and were knocked out by a round of scattering from the opposite side.

In the chaos, Li Fan's first reaction was to rush into the Regent's Palace, but would Zheng Qi give them this chance?After saying those words, when Li Fan and the others were startled by the artillerymen who suddenly appeared, Zheng Qi retreated directly into the door and closed the door tightly.

Not only that, but he also let some artillerymen directly climb up to the top of the wall and start double-sided strikes - at this time, the limited shooting range of the firecrackers is also quite good, at least the artillerymen on the top of the wall don't have to worry about being accidentally injured by friendly troops.

For a moment, ghosts and wolves were howling outside the door, and at this time Zheng Qi had already walked back slowly, and the rest of the matter could be handed over to others.

When he went back, he happened to see Li Xian sitting behind Li Chongyi watching Li Chongyi and Zheng Jin play chess, shaking his head and sighing from time to time. After hearing the footsteps, Li Xian looked up at Zheng Qi and asked with a smile. Said: "It's all done?"

Zheng Qi nodded, Li Xian asked someone to serve him some snacks, "So easy?"

Zheng Qi was a little disapproving: "What do you think? It's just a bunch of mobs."

It's not that Zheng Qi looks down on them, but that these people's brains are really not very easy to use. Ambitious people must have matching abilities to climb up. These people are purely daydreaming, and even dreaming is unreliable which type.

Both Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi couldn't go on anymore. They were almost dying of curiosity. They were very worried when there was a sound of crying and howling outside the door. It was only because Li Xian was very calm that they held back their worries. Now the voices outside are getting louder and louder. The bigger it is, but if Zheng Qi dares to come back, it means that the situation is under control, and the two of them really want to know what's going on.

It's a pity that neither Li Xian nor Zheng Qi told them, Li Xian just said: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly, and be careful if you can't get up tomorrow."

Li Chongyi nestled in Li Xian's arms and acted like a baby: "Uncle, what happened? Tell your nephew."

Li Xian nodded his nose and said, "The matter is not yet settled, I will tell you tomorrow."

Seeing him like this, Li Chongyi knew that he couldn't make it out, so he could only leave with Zheng Jin with a sad face - how could they sleep like this?Curious, okay?

After the two little guys left, Li Xian couldn't help but stretched his waist and yawned and said, "Okay, it's almost done, leave it to the people below, I'm sleepy."

Seeing his hazy eyes, Zheng Qi knew that Li Xian was not lying, so he got up and took his hand to go to sleep, but he kept the people working all night, he was really an evil capitalist.

But the wicked capitalists are still appreciated by their subordinates. The two of them don't intervene much in this matter, and the subordinates can get some credit to some extent, and there will always be rewards at that time.

Li Xian and Zheng Qi fell asleep without any psychological burden, and when they woke up the next morning, they met Li Huang and Li Xun who came to plead guilty.They don't live in this workshop, so they only found out about this incident this morning.

When Li Huang knew about it, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that the sky was going to kill him, so he wanted to go to Li Xun to discuss countermeasures.

It so happened that Li Xun came to him at this time, and the first thing Li Xun said when he saw Li Huang was: "Let's go and apologize."

Li Huang hesitated and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, why should it?"

This apology might be really troublesome, so Li Huang was a little reluctant. Indeed, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't know. If he knew, he would have reported it earlier?

Li Xun was sweating anxiously: "That's not what you said. Is it true that Li Fan has been in and out of your mansion many times? And I heard that Li Fan has been captured alive. Bite, how about you and me?"

Li Huang's expression changed immediately, and he said quickly, "Let's go, let's go to the Prince Regent's Mansion to plead guilty!" While talking, he urged his family to prepare the horses, and he didn't even make the carriage, for fear that he would be implicated if it was too late. Misfortune comes from heaven at home.

When Li Huang and Li Xun arrived at the Prince Regent's Mansion, Li Xian and Zheng Qi had just woken up. It wasn't that they were lazy, but when they woke up in the morning, Li Xian wanted to tease Zheng Qi and ran away, but he miscalculated and was executed on the spot. A little late.Fortunately, after washing and dressing, the marks on Li Xian's body were not so obvious, and his expression and breath were normal, so he could see people.

When Li Huang and Li Xun saw Li Xian coming out of the room, they knelt down and said, "The guilty minister is late, please punish him, Your Highness."

The two of them didn't ask for mercy, they just asked Li Xian to punish them for their crimes.Li Xian's movements today were relatively slow, he walked slowly and sat down slowly, it was true that there was still a certain part of the feeling after the passion just passed, and he couldn't go faster.

It's just that Li Huang and Li Xun saw his behavior as calm and unhurried. After sitting down, in order to cooperate with his actions, Li Xian deliberately spoke slowly: "What's your fault for coming here to make an apology?"

Although Li Huang was embarrassed, he still told the story. Although he also had a connection behind Li Xian's back, what he wanted at that time was to push Li Xian to the top, and he didn't want to betray Li Xian. He was different from Li Fan. Moreover, he is more knowledgeable about current affairs and has not acted aggressively, even if he is punished, it will not be too much, at most it will be a little salary or thinking behind closed doors.

After Li Huang finished speaking, it was Li Xun. The two of them were similar. After Li Xun finished speaking, Li Huang said with shame: "Although we knew that Li Fan had a different intention, we never thought that he was really daring to commit treason and commit crimes. Please punish him, Your Highness." .”

After Li Xian heard this, he was quite helpless. He didn't want to go up, but he couldn't bear the heart of others who wanted to follow the dragon. Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Apart from you, is there anyone else who doesn't know about this matter?" love?"

He needs to combine the statements of Li Huang and Li Xun with Li Fan's confession, and then he will know who is safe and who is not, and he will keep the quiet ones, and he doesn't bother to care about the restless ones. Throw it out and fend for yourself.

In the past, Li Xian would have hesitated, thinking that he shouldn't be so ruthless, but now that he has Li Chongyi, he dare not be careless. If he hadn't noticed Li Fan's changes a few days ago, how could he have brought Li Chongyi to the Prince Regent's Palace?What he was worried about was that some people would use any means to hold Li Chongyi hostage to threaten him, and they even killed Li Chongyi during the turmoil.

You can't leave these troubles for your nephew!It's rare for Li Xian to harden his heart once. Fortunately, there are not many people involved in this matter. There are still few dishonest people like Li Fan. Many clans have seen Wu Zhao's brutality, and they have been beaten by her. It is best to have a place where you can live in peace and stability. Many people hope that the regent will not conflict with the emperor.

As soon as the matter of Li Fan here was almost resolved, the gods over there came with a decree: send the regent to lead 20 soldiers and horses to quell the chaos of the Liuzhao in the South of the Five Ridges!

Li Xian: Huh?
