Chapter 333: Shou Wang Breaking Formation Song
inside the house.
Yang Yuhuan sat in the main seat, Shi Shouyi stood beside her, and Zhang Mujin, Aqisi, He Jin, and Wei Xianyi sat on both sides.
Zhang Mujin said, "Sister, you must not enter the palace at this time! Since we entered Chang'an, poison has often been found in our food. Mujin is afraid that sister..."
Shi Shouyi followed and said, "I am following your Highness' orders. If there is any danger, please escort the princess out of the city immediately. Princess, please follow me out of the city!"
Yang Yuhuan asked, "Does Your Highness still ask you to obey my orders?"
Shi Shouyi had no choice but to say, "Yes."
Yang Yuhuan said: "Then you just listen to me."
"Yes." Shi Shouyi had no choice but to obey.
Yang Yuhuan said, "I will go into the palace. If I am not out in an hour, please ask General Shi to escort my sisters and the prince out of the city."
Shi Shouyi asked: "Princess, you...why are you doing this?"
Yang Yuhuan said: "Your Highness will understand, just listen to me."
Shi Shouyi had followed Li Heng for so long and had learned a lot. In an instant he understood Yang Yuhuan's intention and knelt on one knee.
When the other guards saw this, they also knelt down.
Shi Shouyi and the guards said, "See you, Princess!"
After saying that, he kowtowed.
Yang Yuhuan helped Shi Shouyi up and said, "I hope the general will assist His Highness more in the future."
Shi Shouyi's eyes were filled with tears as he said, "I will obey your orders!"
Yang Yuhuan turned around, took off the jade hairpin, replaced it with a golden hairpin, and said secretly: "This hairpin is enough to take my life."
Zhang Mujin saw Yang Yuhuan's actions and cried, "Sister, please enter the palace with me!"
"Why are you going with me? The Saint didn't summon you." Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, "I will feel more at ease with you accompanying my husband in the future."
Wei Xianyi said: "I am the most useless and I am the most sorry to Your Highness. I will follow you."
Aqisi said: "If anyone wants to go, I will go. I have fought on the battlefield before. If anything happens, I will lead my sister out of Xingqing Palace."
He Jin said: "I am most afraid of losing money in business, but I am afraid that I will lose a lot this time. Why don't we all go together and lose everything!"
Yang Yuhuan smiled with tears in her eyes and said to Shi Shouyi, "General Shi, if you can't save any of them, His Highness will probably blame you. Listen to me and send them out of the city."
"Yes." Shi Shouyi took the order and ordered the soldiers to step forward and block Zhang Mujin and the others.
Yang Yuhuan picked up the pipa on the table, and recalled the scene when Li Ying gave her the pipa, and couldn't help but smile.
She remained silent for a while, then went out under the gaze of Zhang Mujin and others, walked all the way to the side hall, and said to Shen Zhongjian, "Shen Zhongjian, please lead the way."
Shen Zhongjian quickly followed and said, "Princess, please."
Yang Yuhuan and Shen Zhongjian entered the palace together at night and came to Hua'e Tower.
In Hua'e Tower, Li Longji was stunned when he saw Yang Yuhuan walking towards him with graceful steps, holding a pipa.
Li Longji thought to himself: "She is truly the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Yang Yuhuan came before Li Longji, bowed, and said respectfully: "The daughter-in-law pays homage to the saint!"
Li Longji came back to his senses and asked, "What are you doing holding the pipa?"
Yang Yuhuan said: "My daughter-in-law wants to play one last song before she dies."
"Eh?" Li Longji smiled, "Do you know I want to kill you?"
Yang Yuhuan said: "My daughter-in-law deceived the emperor and should be put to death."
"It was Prince Shou who deceived the emperor, and you..." Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan and felt that since Li Heng regarded him as an "adulterer", he did it, so he said: "If you are willing to stay in the palace, I will spare your death!"
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing. She turned around, sat down, and put the pipa on the table.
Seeing Yang Yuhuan being so rude, Gao Lishi shouted, "How dare you! How dare you disrespect the emperor..."
Li Longji raised his hand to interrupt Gao Lishi and said with a smile: "I have never seen such a strange woman, it doesn't matter."
Yang Yuhuan smiled because she felt that Li Longji was just as Li Heng expected. She said, "A saint can kill even his own son, so why would he let his daughter-in-law, an outsider, go?" "What a sharp tongue!" Li Longji was furious, but only for a moment, then he turned his anger into laughter and said, "I know you want me to kill you so that Li Heng can lead his troops back from Tongguan, but I tell you, he doesn't have that chance anymore."
Yang Yuhuan trusted Li Heng very much and said, "If that's the case, what else does the saint have to worry about?"
Li Longji said: "I control the life and death of everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Since it is life and death, there is life and death. Killing you is nothing. It is more meaningful to make you surrender."
Yang Yuhuan said: "I'm afraid that will disappoint the Saint."
Li Longji said: "You haven't replied to me yet."
"What?" Yang Yuhuan was slightly stunned.
Li Longji allowed her to stay in the palace in exchange for being spared the death penalty, but she didn't consider this at all and even forgot about it.
However, she remembered it on second thought and said with a smile, “The saint should ask his daughter-in-law what piece she plays.”
"Oh?" Li Longji frowned, "Then what piece are you going to play?"
Yang Yuhuan took off the golden hairpin, placed it in front of her, and said slowly: "Song of the Prince of Shou Pozhen."
When Li Longji saw Yang Yuhuan taking the golden hairpin, he sneered, but when he heard what Yang Yuhuan said, he was shocked and stood up.
Yang Yuhuan continued, "Emperor Taizong had a song called 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Music', but it was banned by the sage. I, your humble daughter-in-law, combined 'Lanling Wang Entering the Battle Song' and 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Music' to create a song called 'Shou Wang Po Zhen Music'."
Li Longji asked, "Do you think Prince Shou will be the next Emperor Taizong?"
"No." Yang Yuhuan shook her head and said with a smile: "Taizong is Taizong, and Langjun is Langjun. In my heart, no one can compare to Langjun."
Li Longji said: "You will be able to meet him later, you can ask him if he dares to compete with Taizong."
"Really?" Yang Yuhuan seemed to have expected this. "My dear, he is always punctual. If the sage says he will arrive later, he will definitely arrive."
Li Longji said: "Whether he is on time or not is up to me."
Yang Yuhuan asked, "Will the Saint still listen?"
"Now I understand. The music and dance that Prince Shou presented to the palace were all your work." Li Longji sat down.
Yang Yuhuan said, "I am not a talented daughter-in-law, but I would like to ask the Saint to listen to this song "Shou Wang Po Zhen Qu" to see if it has the meaning of 'iron horses and silver spears reflecting the cold moon, a lifetime of fighting and the heart of an emperor'."
"Okay!" Li Longji waved his embroidered robe, "Not only will I listen, I will also let the palace maids perform music and dance to accompany you."
After saying that, he gave Gao Lishi a wink, and Gao Lishi called the music and dance troupe in.
When the music and dance troupe entered, Li Longji said, "Just play, my imperial music and dance troupe can keep up with you."
Yang Yuhuan glanced at the music and dance troupe, and saw Li Guinian and other talented people who were famous all over the world, and said, "Thank you so much, Saint!"
After saying this, he gently stroked the strings of the pipa, and the drummer beside him followed with thunderous drum beats.
A solemn and heroic atmosphere spread throughout Xingqing Palace and echoed throughout the entire Chang'an City.
……
Outside the city of Chang'an, Bian Lingcheng led the way and took Li Ying and others all the way to Chang'an.
When they were almost at Chang'an, they heard the earth-shaking sound of swords and horses in the night. Bian Lingcheng thought it was the Longwu Army and the Feilong Guards who had arrived. He was afraid that Li Heng would see through him, so he rode his horse forward quickly.
When he ran closer to the army, Bian Lingcheng was dumbfounded.
I saw thousands of troops lined up in front of me. The soldiers were all wearing armor and were as agile as dragons. The horses were tall and strong, and as powerful as tigers.
At the front of the army was Feng Changqing, and on both sides of Feng Changqing were Lai Zhen, Cen Shen, Li Chengguang, Bai Xiaode and An Zhongzhang.
Feng Changqing dismounted, completely ignoring Bian Lingcheng, and knelt down and said, "When I was crossing the Wei River, I encountered some resistance, so I was late in defeating the rebellion. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The rest of the generals followed Feng Changqing and knelt on the ground.
Li Heng rode forward, dismounted, helped Feng Changqing up, and asked the generals to stand up. He said, "This is just the right time. General Feng never misses a moment."
Feng Changqing said: "Your Highness, please give the orders!"
Li Heng nodded, stepped forward and pulled Bian Lingcheng off his horse, brought him in front of the Anxi Beiting Army and his personal guards, and said loudly: "The Crown Prince, together with Yang Guozhong and Yong Wang Li Lin, is plotting rebellion and holding the Holy Lord hostage. I have ordered the Central Supervisor Bian Lingcheng to pass on the order to this king, summoning you to the palace to fight against the rebellion. I hope you will work together with this king to fight against the rebellion and will not return until victory is achieved!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Punish the rebels! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Li Heng threw Bian Lingcheng to Cen Shen, mounted his horse, and led his troops straight to Chang'an City.
