Hanjing, the south gate. .

This is the south gate of the outer city of Hanjing, and it is also the gate with the largest flow of people coming and going between business and travelers. However, today, outside the city gate, there are a large group of ministers with purple and red officials standing outside.

The leaders were the Minister of the Secretariat Changsun Wuji, the Shizhong Fang Xuanling and the Secretary of the Secretariat Ling Yuwen, and the Hanlin Academy's Bachelor's Imperial Prisoners and other prime ministers.

Behind them are the prime ministers of the other three courts, as well as the six ministries and nine ministers and other ministers. Basically, all the senior officials in the court came.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you so big?"

"What kind of ritual is there?"

"Can King Zhao return to Beijing?"

Royal Palace.

Li Shimin had also received a report from Wang Chengen, and a group of prime ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others ran to the south gate with their ministers. He suddenly understood what the ministers were going to do, and this was blocking Li Tai.

Li Tai will enter Beijing today.

"What do they want to do?" Li Shimin roared.

This is simply that all the ministers are doing the right thing to him.

Isn't that purge a few months ago enough? Why are there so many people going against him now? Even the ministers like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling who he relied heavily on trust have gone against him today.

Is it so serious that he took King Tai of Qin back to Beijing?

He just wanted to put some pressure on the prince so that he knew that he didn't have to establish Chengqian. If Chengqian didn't repent, he would still have Li Tai.

But now, before Li Tai entered Beijing, all the prime ministers jumped out.

"Who is not the prince's party in this Hanjing court?"

"Where is my confidant?"

Li Shimin was both shocked and angry.

"Summoning the Great General of Beiya, the Great General of Yulin, the Great General of Shence, and the Great General of Shenji entered the palace and let the Imperial Army of Beiya gather and standby!"

"Your Majesty, you must not."

Wang Chengen was simply scared.

What is the emperor going to do? At this time, do you want to arrest all the prime ministers and ministers at the South City Gate?

"Your Majesty is angry, your Majesty thinks twice, you must not force yourself at this time."

"Are I going to be forced by them?"

"Your Majesty, what the prime ministers are worried about is that the King of Qin will change the crown prince when he enters the capital. Although the crown prince has made a small mistake, it has no major mistakes. He has been appointed as the crown prince for thirteen years and has been deeply supported by the government and the opposition. If Your Majesty deposed the crown prince at this time, all officials will not agree."

"I didn't say I wanted to change the prince!"

"Then Your Majesty, please do not take King Tai of Wei into the capital for the time being, so as not to irritate the ministers."

Li Shimin was furious and his eyes were red.

He calmed down a little, and at this time he used the imperial guards. Under the witness of the people of Hanjing, he was afraid that this conflict would really make everyone know.

"Wang Cheng'en, go and meet Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, and let them come back."

"Since they have gone, I'm afraid they won't compromise easily."

"Let's talk first."

South of Hanjing City.

Only ten miles from the capital of Han, the convoy of King Tai of Qin stopped here.

"Why did you stop?"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted and a fat face appeared.

The sixteen-year-old Qin King Li Tai muttered dissatisfied that he was eager to return to the capital and to enter the palace early to meet the emperor. Since he met the emperor's envoy in Yili City in June, he learned about the purge in Hanjing, he became excited.

After traveling starry night, I finally arrived in the capital.

The one who led troops to escort Li Tai back along the way was Gongsun Wuda, the governor of Suzhou.

At that time, Xuanwu Gate followed one of the nine generals around the King of Qin, and was also the emperor's confidant general. This time, after receiving the emperor's order, he personally ordered a thousand soldiers to protect King Tai of Qin and returned to Hanjing.

However, Gongsun Wuda's face was a little helpless at this time.

"Your Highness, something happened, we were intercepted."

Li Tai seemed to hear a funny joke.

"This is already outside the suburbs of Hanjing, and it is only about ten miles away from the south gate of Hanjing, right? I have only been away from Hanjing alone for more than a year and have returned at the end of last year. Who has the courage to block the road and rob here?"

"Your Highness, you are not a bandit, but a hundred officials of the court."

"Officials?" Li Tai was stunned. Why did the officials stop him? He always respected the officials, why did they intercept him?

"The heads of Duke of Wei, Prime Minister Sun, Prime Minister Fang of Liang, Prime Minister Fang of Zheng, Prime Minister Wei and other Prime Minister Wei, are almost all officials in the court. They are now outside the south gate, aiming at the people who are descending from the palace. They refuse to let Your Highness enter the city, and even sent someone to tell him that His Highness will do his own thing and return to the vassal state immediately."

Li Tai's face suddenly became ugly, very ugly.

The fat face, cheeks bulging, and eyes staring.

"Why do they want this?"

Gongsun Wuda couldn't speak, but the pressure from the officials led by the prime minister was huge. Although he had a thousand soldiers, he did not dare to rush forward.

"General, we enter the city through another gate."

Gongsun Wuda shook his head helplessly.

Although the officials only guard the south gate, do you think there are no one in other city gates?

These are the hundreds of officials in the court led by the prime minister. The army in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two major systems: the Southern Yafu soldiers and the Northern Yafu soldiers, which were divided into two major systems. Among them, the twelve guards and four prefectures of the Southern Yafu, many soldiers took turns to the Beijing guards and were stationed around the capital.

Although both the North and South Yas are under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, the North Yas are directly led by the emperor, while the South Yas are controlled by the central prime ministers.

Although this central prime minister is dedicated to the military prime ministers who have the same military commandership, they are also prime ministers.

Today, the Privy Council did not dare to dispatch many soldiers to guard the city gate, but there were only a few soldiers on each city gate. Do Li Tai dare to rush forward?

Even if there is only one soldier who forcibly breaks into the city gate without permission, this is of great nature.

Li Tai was very angry and unwilling to accept it.

"Where is Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know if I am alone arrives in the capital today?"

Gongsun Wuda didn't say anything. Even if His Majesty knew, what's the use of it? All the officials were blocking them in front of the city gate.

After thinking about it, Li Tai was helpless.

He didn't have the courage to intercept the officials, but he was unwilling to let him go back.

"Let's camp here first." Li Tai finally had no choice but to make a decision. He was still counting on the emperor's father to help him solve his problems.

Outside the south gate.

"Qin Wang Tai stopped the team ten miles away and had already set up camp on the spot."

"Well, he's still a little rational, so he didn't come to rush to the door."

"He dares!"

The news about Hanjing City was always unhidden, and soon the reason why all officials came to the South Gate to have a collective gathering came out.

It turned out that all the officials came to stop King Tai of Qin.

‘I heard that Your Majesty wants to take King Tai of Qin into the capital and then make him the crown prince.’

"Qin Wang Tai? What ability does he have to be the crown prince?" Someone said bluntly.

"That is, His Highness the Crown Prince is kind and wise."

Wang Chengen brought a lot of tea and snacks to comfort the prime ministers who blocked the door.

"Thank you all the ministers, please have some tea and some snacks." Wang Chengen smiled and asked someone to raise the table and hold up the cool umbrella.

Changsun Wuji pointed to a carriage on the side without hesitation, "I brought tea and snacks by myself, so I won't bother with the hard work of eunuch Wang."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "This autumn is clear and the weather is not hot, so it is rare to breathe here. Looking at the business travelers coming and going, it's very lively, it's great."

Wang Chengen hit a few nails in a row and had to say, "Your Majesty asked our family to spread a message. Forget it, let's forget about the matter. All the prime ministers will also give His Majesty and the court a little face. Don't make things too ugly and let the people laugh at it."

Changsun Wuji burst out angry, "Look at the joke? Who is the joke? Who is the joke? His Majesty is doing things too casually recently. Has Your Majesty thought twice before doing things? Have you ever thought about the color of the court, and the face of the prime minister? The one day the signing of the removal of twelve prime ministers is an unprecedented thing."

"Duke of Wei, don't mention the past? Today's matter will end here."

Changsun Wuji didn't give him face.

"As long as your Majesty sends a decree, the King of Qin will immediately return to the vassal state as usual, and some people will naturally leave immediately."

"This is a matter of King Qin who has come back from afar. It is better to let King Qin enter the city first, let him go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty, and let them meet with him."

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything. It would be normal for him to just meet him.

Wei Zheng stood up all of a sudden.
