Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Li Xi didn't learn many strategies for governing the country, and he didn't know how to balance interests, but he knew good and bad, right and wrong.

He imagined Wei Yu standing in front of him, helping him out.

Wei Yu thought he would pat his head and said with a smile, "Choose according to your own will."

Li Xi closed her eyes and asked her heart.

Does he care about the eldest prince's life?

Can you just watch those officials' family members and common people die in vain?

The answer is, care, can't.

However, if Haoyue is let in, can the forbidden army in the city deal with it?

Taking a step back, if force is used against each other, what are the chances of winning?

Looking at the generals, large and small, is there anyone who can use them?

Li Xi thought it through in a short time, and then made a choice: "Then let him come."

"If he wants to talk, let's talk."

"He wants to fight, and I have no fear."

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, "Cecchi, have you made up your mind?"

Li Xi looked firmly, "Grandmother, don't be afraid, I am the future prince of Daye, and I have the responsibility of supervising the country promised by my father. No matter what, I will protect the people of Chang'an, protect you and your mother."

"Okay!" The queen mother took Zheng Jiarou's hand and said, "Your mother and I are here, watching you."

Li Xi said loudly: "Open the city gate!"

"Bless the king's order—open the city gate!"

Li Xi sent someone to send a message to Haoyue, willing to see him, but had to go out of the city to meet him.

In this way, Haoyue will not be able to blame him, and in the future, he will be famous in history, and he will be praised as "high righteousness".

The people will still feel sorry for him——

"Look, for the sake of the eldest prince and a few ordinary people, Xiao Fu did not hesitate to risk his life, how righteous it is!"

"Hey, it's not just for the people outside the city, but also for the hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people in the city!"

The people were so moved that tears filled their eyes, so when Feilongwei sneaked into the courtyards of each household, the old and young in the city cooperated exceptionally.

Haoyue's mood is not so beautiful.

He never expected that Li Xi would be so courageous; what made him even more unexpected was that Chang'an City was about to be breached, and he was still in the mood to change clothes!

"Stupid." Li Xi scolded the street from the air, "Let's live a good life, but he is a moth, let the north wind blowing from Longshouyuan wake him up!"

"This body is not good, it's too red."

"This body is not good either, it can't show the bearing of my future prince."

Li Xi changed her body after another, and each time she changed her body, she would send someone out to report to Haoyue.

Haoyue collapsed, and picked out a little lady, "Go back and tell him, if it's a moment later, there will be one less person here!"

The little lady stared at him blankly, she didn't know whether it was fear or shock, "Hao, Mr. Haoyue, I once admired you..."

Haoyue pursed her lips, and her voice was gentle, just like in Haoyuexuan before, "Isn't it the little lady of the household servant's family? I remember you."

Then the voice changed, and the smile changed from tenderness to cruelty, "Did I tell you that the second disgusting thing I did in my life was to lie to you stupid and self-willed ladies!"

"Did the first disgusting person have sex with me?" The First Prince said suddenly.

Haoyue frowned, "Don't make any trouble."

"You kill me." The eldest prince suddenly became very calm, "Even if you don't kill me, my father will demote me to Anxi when he comes back. Why don't you give me a good time now, it's considered..."

Did not insult the prestige of the Li family.

Haoyue ignored him, and left the little lady irritably, and asked someone to urge Li Xi.

"Can't wait? Then go!"

The time was almost delayed, and everything that should be arranged was arranged, so Li Xi put on an apricot-yellow robe and wandered out of the city.

Old and new grudges mixed together, Haoyue hated so much that she didn't even give him a chance to speak, and directly ordered someone to shoot an arrow.

The eldest prince was frightened, "Are you crazy? Do you think you can be the prince if you kill him?"

Haoyue smiled, "Even if I can't do it, wouldn't there be you?"

"You're crazy, you're just a lunatic, you've been using me, even the day we first met you were the one who planned it out, weren't you? I was really blind, I wanted to spend my whole life with you back then..." Big The prince stepped back while shaking his head.

He was about to retreat to the edge of the chariot, but was pulled back by Haoyue, "As long as today's matter is done, I will live with you for the rest of my life."

"I won't, I don't want to, I feel disgusted when I see you!" The eldest prince pushed him away with red eyes.

As if she had been greatly stimulated, Haoyue vented her anger on Li Xi.

Hu Jiao and Spider Spider were protecting Li Xi from left to right, dancing with a long whip and a tasseled spear so that only afterimages could be seen.

Fig held a large shield as tall as a person in front of Li Xi, only to hear a clanging sound, and all the arrows shot were bounced to the ground.

Haoyue was not in a hurry, as if she was waiting for something.

Li Xi was not in a hurry, and was also delaying time.

When the Anhua army arrived at Kaiyuanmen, before setting up a ladder to attack the city, General Xu Ji led [-] Qingqi to outflank and cut off his vanguard.

Before the leader of the traitor could see Xu Ji's face clearly, his head rolled to the ground.

Another lieutenant took advantage of the chaos and led his troops into the Golden Light Gate, and went straight to Miyagi, trying to kidnap the Queen Mother and Zheng Jiarou.

However, just as the soldiers rushed up Zhuque Street, they heard a shout: "The richest families in Chang'an City live here, brothers, go in and kill!"

One person took the lead, and countless people followed. The soldiers behind didn't know why, and thought it was an order from the chief, and rushed into various workshops one after another, beating and smashing.

However, they never expected that what awaited them was not gold, silver and jewels, but the swords, guns, swords and halberds of the Imperial City Guards.

The deputy general who led the team was shot to death with a sword.

The person who first shouted also took off the Anhua army's armor while taking advantage of the chaos, turned around three times, and disappeared without a trace.

Haoyue waited for a long time, but there was no sign of success.Li Xi, on the other hand, received two pieces of good news one after another.

Haoyue became anxious, gritted her teeth, and let out a falcon to send a message.

Li Xi was not idle either, he had already dispatched elites to rush into Haoyue's private soldiers to save people.

A private soldier is a private soldier, how can they defeat a well-trained imperial army?

The soldiers led the people, protected Li Xi and retreated while fighting, and returned to the palace unscathed.

However, what greeted Li Xi was not praise or admiration, but accusations.

Baiguan heard the sound of rushing outside the palace and thought that the city was broken. When they saw Li Xi, they thought he had fled back.

"As I said earlier, King Fu is young and ignorant, so he can't be allowed to act blindly. It's a good thing now, the city gate is broken, the people suffer, and you and I have become sinners through the ages!"

"I knew he was unreliable. It's okay to act coquettishly and play tricks on weekdays. How can he bear the responsibility of protecting the city?"

"In order to show the limelight, you lose the big because of the small, it really is a youthful heart!"

"Even if it's for the sake of fame, you shouldn't use the lives of the people as bargaining chips, let alone King Rui!"

"Prince Ruijun is also the blood of a saint. If he really died at the hands of an enemy today, King Fu will be the one to blame!"

"..."

All the ministers shook their heads and sighed, their faces full of disappointment.

Li Xi suddenly felt very funny, but couldn't laugh again.

Of course, there are also people who are devoted to him.

Cui Yuan said angrily: "The little prince racked his brains to plan, and the soldiers desperately killed the enemy. You are comfortably roasting the fire, eating steamed pears, and you have the face to say 'I knew it' and 'I can't rely on it'?"

In a word, those hindsight gunners were silenced.

While speaking, Concubine Chai had already approached Li Xi to check if he was injured.

The king of Weinan County directly announced the imperial doctor.

Several Shangshu, Siqing, and Sizheng stepped forward one after another, expressing the same concern.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that he was safe and sound that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chai Yang, Xiao Sanlang and others also gathered around, showing concern, "What's the problem? Just say, the little prince, let's go run errands."

Li Xi shook his head, and asked instead: "Where are grandmother and mother?"

The inner eunuch hurriedly bowed back: "The two ladies have gone back to the back hall to rest, do you want to report a letter?"

"Don't disturb." Li Xi waved his hand, originally excitedly came to report the good news, but now he doesn't want to say anything.

All the ministers thought he was discouraged after losing the battle, some comforted him, and some complained in a low voice.

The spider couldn't see the eyes, and the tassel slammed on the ground, making a muffled sound.

"For King Fu, the main force of the Anhua Army has been stopped outside the city by General Xu, Xiaobo who sneaked into the imperial city was also captured by the Feilong Guard who had ambushed in advance, two rebel generals were strangled on the spot, and all generals above the school lieutenant were tied up. , wait for the little prince to deal with it."

Fig went on to say: "The captive people and the family members of the officials have also been rescued. Thanks to the little prince's strategy, we didn't lose a single soldier here."

"Oh, by the way, the Ruijun King was closely watched by the thief Haoyue, and he couldn't be saved. Little Pepper, no, the Lord Fukang has already turned back to save him. It's not difficult to save him with skill."

Baiguan was stunned when he heard this.

This means... the city was not broken, but still won?

Did you use all of Xiao Fu Wang's arrangements?

People are also rescued?

Everyone looked at Li Xi at the same time, some were surprised, some were suspicious, and some were guilty.

Really wonderful.

But not very relieved.

Only today did Li Xi understand what Wei Yu would have to change in his future.

The arrogance of the powerful, the solidified prejudice, the siege of the single-handedly poor official in the court...

Those in power are busy intriguing and suppressing dissidents, while those who really care about the cause and plead for the people cannot use their fists.

He also saw that it is not so easy to be the king of a country.

Today, they dared to ridicule him like this before things were cleared up. One can imagine what Li Hong was facing every day.

A real monarch is really not someone who can chop off people's heads if they disagree with each other, especially someone who wants to be a good emperor.

On the contrary, it is not as happy as a tyrant.

To put it bluntly, some people are just shameless.

Li Xi didn't want to spoil them, he had to scold them back to feel comfortable.

"Xu Junhou just said that I was 'young and ignorant', right? I think you are quite old. You must know a lot and have great skills. It just so happens that the thief is still holding the elder brother hostage. Why don't you ask Xu Junhou to go outside the city and rescue him. Bar?"

"Oh, and Elder Ji Ge, are you saying that you don't want to be a sinner through the ages? Hurry up, there are still Turkic people making trouble in the city, and the whole Feilongwei mobilized to catch half of them. Why don't you let Elder Ji Ge come forward and persuade the culprits to surrender?" How are you?"

"Don't worry, if you accidentally die, I will make an exception and let the historian make a big mark on you, leaving your name in history."

"Oh, by the way, did Wang Shilang and Liu Shilang imply that I have a disagreement with my elder brother? If I don't say anything, I have forgotten that I shouldn't risk my life to leave the city when my elder brother hurt me like that."

"..."

The veterans whose names were called all bowed their heads, speechless.

Li Xi hadn't enjoyed the game yet, and was about to say something, when Hu Jiao suddenly flew into the hall, bringing someone with her.

Ashina Duoduo was dressed in men's clothes, with a disheveled face, and when she saw Li Xi couldn't hold back for a moment, she burst into tears.

"Brother Xi, I'm here to report to you—"

"The imperial court has taken advantage of the Eastern Turks' plan. Their goal is not Yuguan, but to bypass our territory and invade Chang'an!"

As soon as the words fell, a flying dragon guard rushed in and said anxiously: "My lord, a Turkic iron cavalry broke into the Chongxuan Gate and approached the Taiji Palace!"

Li Xi got up suddenly, "Who is the guard of the Chongxuan Gate? Why didn't you stop him?"

"It's Xia Qing." Chai Yang said in a deep voice, clenching his fists.

The king of Weinan was taken aback. Xia Qing was once the deputy general of Princess Jinyang. Although he was dull, he was very loyal.

When the late emperor was there, he was handpicked to be the guard of the Chongxuan Gate. He also said that with Xia Qing guarding the gate, I can sleep in peace.

Xia Qing let the Turkic people in, does it mean that Princess Jinyang...is wrong?

"Let me go!"

"Please allow me to lead the army to defend against the enemy!"

"I will definitely kill the traitor with my own hands!"

Chai Yang knelt on one knee with a sincere expression on his face.

Someone cleared his throat, and said sarcastic words: "Now that Jinyang Chief is involved, no, Mrs. Jinyang, General Chai Lang should avoid suspicion."

Chai Consort's face is not very good-looking.

Chai Yang was young and vigorous, and even more angry.

However, they knew in their hearts that this was the truth, not to mention Li Xi, even they themselves did not dare to trust Princess Jinyang [-]%.

But Li Xi said: "Then Cousin Chai has worked hard, pay attention to safety."

Chai Yang suddenly raised his head, "Xiaobao, you—"

Li Xi stuffed the Tiger Talisman into his hand, and said with a smile, "You have to take the An Ding Army left by my eldest sister."

Chai Yang's eyes flickered, and he clasped his fists heavily, "I will not disgrace my life!"

In times of crisis, there is no time for hypocrisy.

Chai Yang rushed out of the palace gate, and Li Xi also made arrangements without stopping.

He was most worried about the Empress Dowager and Zheng Jiarou, and he sent Spider Spider and Hu Jiao to protect the two empresses.

Then there was the Daming Palace closest to the Chongxuan Gate, and it was inconvenient for foreign ministers to go there. The King of Weinan County volunteered to guard the gate of the palace.

There are also Guangzhai and Yongchang Shufang, which are also protected by General Gu An with troops.

There are not many forbidden troops in the city, so it is bound to be a fierce battle.

In order to boost morale, Li Xi resolutely boarded the city gate despite the dissuasion of his ministers.

Inside and outside the city gate, Daye Forbidden Army and Turkic soldiers fought together.

Haoyue and the eldest prince also came over, and the two clashed and were arguing.

"Haoyue, you can lie to me or use me, but you actually colluded with the Turks to destroy my cause!"

"I'm afraid of death, but I'd rather die than be a traitor!"

The eldest prince suddenly jumped up and slammed into the spear next to him.

Haoyue's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously pulled him.

Unexpectedly, the first prince suddenly turned around, pulled out the dagger from his waist, turned around and stabbed Haoyue.

In fact, he was reluctant to strike at first, but Haoyue bumped into him just in time, and the point of the knife happened to be stuck in his left chest.

In an instant, blood splattered, Haoyue's eyes widened, she looked at the First Prince, and then at the dagger on her chest, as if she couldn't accept this fact.

He firmly believed that the eldest prince was soft-hearted and incompetent, otherwise he wouldn't be so defenseless against him.

The eldest prince let go of his hand, stared blankly at the blood on his palm, and was frightened.

……

Princess Jinyang didn't fully trust Haoyue from the very beginning, she calculated that Haoyue would do something on New Year's Eve, and escaped from Yueling across the sea.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Haoyue and Li Xi to lose both, and to reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, Haoyue actually recruited the Turkic army, and even used the handwritten letter she wrote to Xia Qing to open the sect of Chongxuan!

Chai Yang rushed to Chongxuanmen with his troops, and directly confronted the Turkic main force, led by the arrogant flat-faced prince.

In terms of skill, Chai Yang is no worse than him, however, this man kills people like chopping cabbage, without blinking his eyes.

Chai Yang was born in an aristocratic family. Although he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he had never been on the battlefield with real swords and guns. He was strong enough not to vomit when he saw the heads of familiar soldiers rolling down and the red blood of the enemy splashing on his face.

Ashina Duoduo stood beside Li Xi, her eyes blushing.

Li Xi's face was not good-looking, and she couldn't help but want to go down to help several times, but was persuaded by Cui Yuan.

At this time, he must not have an accident.

Once Li Xi had an emergency, Daye's military morale would be completely shattered.At that time, it will not be as simple as Haoyue forcing the palace, and it is possible for the Turks to occupy Chang'an.

Chai Yang relied on perseverance to survive the sword of the Turkic prince.

The Turkic prince seemed to see something, and deliberately cut down the soldiers next to him to provoke Chai Yang.

Chai Yang didn't suppress his anger and became angry.

The Turkic prince seized this opening, made a false move, and then quickly raised the knife and slashed at the back of Chai Yang's neck.

If the knife was cut well, Chai Yang's head would fly out like the young soldiers in front, fall to the ground, roll under the horse, and be kicked away by the Turkic iron jumper like a ball.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xi took the risk of revealing his position, opened his crossbow and shot at the Turkic prince.

At the same time, a tasseled gun swept across and slapped the Turkic prince heavily on the waist, sweeping him off his horse.

The Turkic prince was like a war madman, regardless of his own life and death, excitedly pointing at Li Xi.

"there!"

"Daye's future prince is on the tower!"

"Quick! Crossbowman, kill him!"

Li Xi did not sit still, but quickly hid behind the door, letting them shoot in vain.

His arrow not only saved Chai Yang, but also hooked the position of the opponent's archers, making it easier for Daye's archers to take down one by one.

Downstairs, Chai Yang looked at Princess Jinyang who suddenly appeared, with a complicated expression.

Princess Jinyang fought all the way, the tassels on the tasseled spear were soaked in the enemy's blood, and her body and face were covered with blood.

But it didn't stop.

The Turkic prince seems to be a lunatic, the more he kills, the more excited he becomes.

Princess Jinyang is very stable, no matter how provocative he is, she will not get angry, on the contrary, she will look for opportunities to fight back.

Chai Yang wasn't surprised for too long, and quickly realized that he would deal with the Turkic prince together with her.

The grandfather and grandson joined forces and forced the Turkic prince into the alleyway. Chai Yang swept his spear and hit the opponent's vitals.

At the same time, Princess Jinyang was also shot by a crossbow attacking behind her...

The arrow was originally aimed at Chai Yang, but at the critical moment, Princess Jinyang quickly moved behind him and blocked it for him.

"grandmother!"

Chai Yang yelled loudly, quickly kicked the Turkic prince away, and supported the eldest princess Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang was hit in the back of the heart, and a big mouthful of blood was vomited out of her mouth, and it seemed that she would die.

Chai Yang was dumbfounded, hugged her hard, and ran to the city.Immediately, soldiers rushed over to protect them.

Princess Jinyang's face was covered with blood, both from her enemies and her own.Chai Yang wiped it for her desperately, shouting while wiping: "Military doctor! Call the military doctor!"

Princess Jinyang shook her head vigorously.

As the Queen Mother said, in her life, she succeeded because of her strong and decisive character, and she lost because of her overly strong and stubborn character.

It was not until she died that she admitted that she had indeed done something wrong.

However, no matter how wrong she was, she never thought of treason.

It was her luck to die on the battlefield.

Nothing to regret.

She has a clear conscience towards the Li family and the Chai family.

The only one who feels guilty is Chai Fuma, her husband.

With the last of her strength, Princess Jinyang took out a bronze buckle from her bosom, which was used by Prince Chai to tie her cloak when she first met Jiang Shang.

"Here you...grandfather..."

"Tell him...in this life, I am ashamed of him...in the next life, I will no longer be a husband and wife..."

Chai Yang took the bronze buckle and held it together with her hand, "Grandmother, hold on, the military doctor will be here soon, and when you are well, hand it over to grandfather..."

Princess Jinyang pulled out a smile, took one last look at Chai Yang, and lowered her head weakly.

"Grandmother!!!" Chai Yang hugged her hoarsely.

Li Xi rushed down the tower and flew onto his horse, "My sons and daughters, whoever violates our country, kill them!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The inspiring roar resounded throughout the imperial city.
