Chapter 232 The Great King's Banner
Facts have proved that it is not unreasonable for emperors in history to like to use eunuchs.
Li Yanghuan asked the young eunuch Xi'er to send someone to fetch some medicines such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to save Li Qiande's life. However, the young eunuch Xi'er was able to think one step ahead and not only knew how to prepare the imperial doctor, but also used The rag blocked Li Qiande's mouth to prevent Li Qiande from biting his tongue and committing suicide. If you look at Xi'er's respectful attitude towards Li Yanghuan again, it is a treatment that Li Yanghuan has never enjoyed before.
After nodding reservedly, Li Yanghuan followed the guidance of the young eunuch Xi'er and came to sit in front of a chair. The young eunuch Xi'er bowed and said with a flattering smile: "It's not that I don't want the prince to sit on the dragon chair. But now this dragon chair is really taboo, please forgive me, Your Majesty?"
Li Yanghuan hummed and said, "I know what I am doing, so it doesn't matter."
The dragon chair in the main hall now is such a death-inducing thing that whoever sits on it will die, even if I don't even sit on it!
Well, I am just a clan prince in Dai Viet. If I can become a prince with Quan Viet, I should be able to become a prince by then, right? Even if it doesn't work, I have to get over the addiction of prince for at least two days, and then I can call myself a prince when the official comes. The sinner is healed.
But Li Qiande, a bad old man, is actually thinking of coaxing himself to become the unlucky Emperor of Dai Viet. He is really not a son of man!
Thinking about these messy things in his mind, Li Yanghuan's face became a little uncertain. The little eunuch Xi'er saw it in his eyes, but felt anxious in his heart.
"What the hell are you doing here? Why don't you go out and guard?"
Two steps away from Li Yanghuan, the young eunuch Xi'er showed the authority of the chief eunuch again and shouted at the guards and eunuchs: "Hurry, the guards divided into two groups and went to close the palace gate together. You must not let the traitor Li Changjie enter the palace; go to the harem on the other hand and tie up all the concubines of the old traitor.
As for you guys, our family now takes the final decision on behalf of the prince, appointing you as the eunuchs in charge of the palace, and leading people to sweep the palace carefully in preparation for welcoming the official family into the palace."
After the instructions were given, the young eunuch Xi'er hurried back to Li Yanghuan, bowed and asked with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, do you think there are any omissions in this slave's arrangement?"
When the young eunuch Xi'er asked this question, Li Yanghuan suddenly came back to his senses and secretly thought he was lucky -
They were so focused on catching that old guy Li Qiande that they forgot to send people to guard the palace gate and capture Li Qiande's concubine.
Damn it, if the young eunuch Xi'er hadn't thought of these things for me, I'm afraid that when that old man Li Changjie enters the palace again, it will be the time when my king's head falls to the ground.
"You're fine."
The more Li Yanghuan looked at Xi'er, the more he liked him. After a few words of praise, he even smiled and said: "When you meet the official and become an old thief, I will strongly recommend you to serve the current official. If With the saint’s permission, I’m afraid this king will have to rely more on Eunuch Xi in the future.”
"I don't dare!"
The little eunuch Xi'er was immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed to Li Yanghuan and said: "No matter where I am, I will always remember the great kindness of the prince. I will never dare to show it in front of the prince. If I violate it, I am willing to be pierced by thousands of arrows." Punishment: After death, you will enter the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated!"
Seeing the little eunuch Xi'er's statement, Li Yanghuan was even more satisfied. He took off a jade pendant from his body and threw it to Xi'er, smiling and saying: "I'll reward you."
"My slave, thank you for the reward!"
After thanking Li Yanghuan with a smile, the young eunuch Xi'er then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since we have decided to welcome the official family into the city, should we erect a Song-character flag on the imperial city?"
…
There was a happy scene in the Monkey Palace, but Li Changjie did not dare to delay at all when he left the palace. As soon as he left the palace, he went straight to the Taiwei's Mansion.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Song army has seized the warship and crossed the river, and now it has gone straight to Shenglong."
"I am reporting to the commander-in-chief that the Ruan family, Li family and other traitors are in rebellion in the city. Many of the defenders have also defected and joined the bandits. Many yamen have fallen into the hands of the rebels."
"Commander Qi, someone set fire to the east city!"
"Commander, there are rebels attacking the city gate in the north city!"
"..."
Pieces of military information came from all over the place to the Taiwei Mansion.
Li Changjie no longer cares about the more than 100,000 Song troops led by Zhao Huan - if the rebellion in Shenglong City cannot be put down as soon as possible, there may be no need for the Song Emperor to lead troops!
"What's going on with these rebels?"
Li Changjie rubbed his forehead and asked, but without waiting for the people below to answer, he continued: "Forget it, I don't want to know why. I will mobilize the army immediately and kill all these rebels without leaving a single one behind!"
After several generals from Taiwei's Mansion took their orders and left, the chief historian of Taiwei's Mansion tentatively said: "Commander-in-Chief, since the Commander-in-Chief entered the palace, there have been rebellions in the city.
I once sent someone to inquire about it, and I heard that it was the Ruan family in the east of the city who started the trouble. I heard..."
After hesitating for a while, Chang Shi continued: "Some people are spreading rumors in the city, saying that the reason why the Emperor of the Song Dynasty sent troops to massacre the city is because His Majesty attacked the Song Dynasty without considering his own strength, and then massacred the people during the attack.
The three states of Lian, Qin, and Yong of the Song Dynasty are now coming back with revenge, and our Dai Viet garrison is hard to defeat. I am afraid that after the defeat of Shenglong City, it will inevitably be massacred by the officials of the Song Dynasty."
Li Changjie hummed and said, "Go on."
The Changshi bowed in agreement, and then continued: "The rumor also said that if you want to survive, the only solution now is to capture His Majesty first, open the city gate, and welcome the officials of the Song Dynasty into the city. This is the only way.
Maybe we can have a chance of survival."
Li Changjie suddenly sighed, rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and asked, "Have you ever found out the source of the rumors?"
But Chang Shi shook his head and replied: "The lower official is incompetent and has never found out the source of the rumor. It must be made up by the Ruan family and the Li family thieves in order to survive?"
Li Changjie did not ask any more questions, but just waved his hand, indicating to Chang Shi to do whatever he needed to do——
Since the source of the rumor cannot be found clearly, it doesn't matter where the rumor originated.
After all, the Ruan family and the Li family in the city alone would not be able to stage such a massive rebellion in just a moment. If you want to know the specific situation, you have to wait until the rebellion subsides.
However, the scale of this rebellion far exceeded Li Changjie's imagination.
"The government office of Thang Long Mansion was set on fire by the rebels. Li Yu asked the commander-in-chief to send troops for support!"
"The Hubu Taipingcang was set on fire by the rebels!"
"The east gate is in emergency, please send troops to support us!"
"Ximen has fallen into the hands of the rebels! Commander, please quickly mobilize your troops to quell the chaos!"
"..."
One piece of bad news came one after another, especially when the palace suddenly closed its doors and a large banner with Song characters was erected on the wall.
Li Changjie also changed his expression.
