Chapter 726 The Emperor

Wang Ping'an's horse is good and runs very fast, while Ouyang Li and his team are also good. Although they can't keep up, they are not far away.

But the soldiers and generals from the Beiya who reported the message were no longer able to do it. They ran for days and nights, and the horses they brought had been exhausted. How could they bear it now?

After running for less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Ping'an and the others disappeared into the night. The leading general was anxious and shouted from behind: "Governor Wang, please go slowly. You can wait for the last time and make it clear, and wait for us!"

The distance was almost one mile away, and it was midnight again. While running, there were horse hooves. How could Wang Ping'an hear his voice? What's more, what's there to say clearly? Wang Ping'an knew what was going on when he received the letter!

The soldiers and generals of the North Yaya were unable to follow, so they had to hurry up and rush, just asking not to pull too far. However, when their mounts arrived in Qingzhou, they were no longer able to do so. They could not support them when they returned to Chang'an from Qingzhou. After only half an hour of running, the horses were exhausted!

The soldiers and generals of the North Yaya were the best soldiers. Seeing that the war horses could not run, they all understood in their hearts that it was useless to let these war horses rest for a while, and it was impossible to recover. They had to go to Daobian to find villages and towns to buy horses. But after such delays, they could never catch up with Wang Ping'an!

The white dragon horse under Wang Ping'an's crotch was a good horse that was picked out of thousands. The four hooves were flying like arrows, running along the road like flying. After a while, they arrived at the fork in the road. Wang Ping'an did not know the road, so he had to stop and wait for Ouyang Li and the others to catch up.

Ouyang Li and his brothers followed in a blink of an eye, pointed out the way, and everyone continued to run forward!

They kept going all the way, and when it was dawn, they came to a small town. Wang Ping'an only stopped the horse and rested. Ouyang Li and his brothers went to find food and found fine materials for the pedals. But they all understood that after this trip, except for the White Dragon Horse, the rest of the war horses were probably ruined. Even if they couldn't even pull the cart, they were disabled!

This town is too small and there are no extra horses. After Wang Ping'an rested and set off again, Ouyang Li only bought two horses and changed to ride. Only he could keep up with Wang Ping'an, and the other brothers could only follow him from afar!

Although taking a shortcut is not as far as walking on the official road, it is difficult to run the entire journey without changing a horse in one go! The white dragon horse will start to slow down until the afternoon, and even if it is so majestic, it will not help but run like this.

Wang Ping'an had to let the White Dragon Horse trot for a while, then ran a lot, alternately, but even so, it was much faster than ordinary horses. When it was dark, he galloped into the Jingji area, almost breaking the horse racing record of this era. Ouyang Li and the others had long disappeared, and no one followed!

He could no longer raise his speed, but he always ran outside the walls of Chang'an City. Wang Ping'an looked up at the top of the city through the moat and saw that the city gate was full of black flags, and the lanterns hung were all white, without any bright colors!

Wang Ping'an held the white dragon horse and stood blankly on the other side of the moat. With the moonlight, he looked at the quiet city wall and felt cold in his heart!

It's over, I'm one step late and the emperor has passed away!

When the prince cried, although the ministers were exhausted from crying, they could only cry. In the blink of an eye, there were crying inside and outside the main hall.

Before Wang Ping'an could enter the yard, he had already kneeled down and walked in. He cried while walking, shouting: "Emperor, Your Majesty, why did you leave like this? I'll leave this Tang Dynasty, but what should I do if I want to wait..."

Li Zhi stood up and stumbled out. When he ran to the outer hall, he saw Wang Ping'an. He fell down and sat on the ground and cried. Wang Ping'an climbed in front of him. The two hugged each other, both burst into tears!

The two brothers and brothers hugged their heads and cried so hard, and they felt bad in their hearts. They really were the emperor and the ministers. This common saying is true. Although the prince has not ascended the throne yet, it can be seen from the current situation that his most trusted minister is Wang Ping'an, and the Tang Dynasty court is about to enter the era of Wang Ping'an!

Changsun Wuji also shook his head and sighed. He would not be jealous of Wang Ping'an. Li Zhi was his nephew and would be the emperor. In a few years, Wang Ping'an was his nephew's son-in-law. No matter how you say it was, they were all a family, but he was the biggest elder and there was nothing to be jealous of. Anyway, he would listen to him!

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi supported each other, entered the inner hall together, knelt in front of the emperor's coffin, and cried again. At this time, the little eunuch brought Wang Ping'an a filial piety dress and hat. Wang Ping'an put it on, knelt with Li Zhi, and guarded the emperor.

The hall was full of eternal lights, brightly lit but smoke filled the air. It was uncomfortable to wait in the hall, but at this time, it was a very disrespectful act, so Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi could only kneel in front of the brazier, burning paper and talking in a low voice.

Li Zhi wiped away his tears. He cried for a long time, his voice had already been hoarse. He whispered to Wang Ping'an: "It's all because of the evil man Li Ke. If he hadn't colluded with the Goguryeo, betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and betrayed his father, then his father would not have been angry to death. His sins were too serious, and a hundred deaths would not be enough to forgive me!"

Wang Ping'an whispered: "Did you notify the King of Wu... to Li Ke?" Since Li Ke has been convicted of rebellion, there is no need to use respectful titles anymore, and it is enough to call your name directly.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No. My uncle said that if the news is spread to Yingzhou now, I am afraid that the Goguryeo people will take action immediately, so they can delay it for a while. When we are ready, we will send a large army to destroy this country of dung!"

Wang Ping'an was speechless for a while. He reminded Li Ke, but Li Ke did not listen to the advice, and Changsun Wuji insisted on playing the "playing hard to get" strategy, which led to such a big thing. But now, Changsun Wuji's fault cannot be pursued. He can only put all the responsibility on Li Ke's head, so that the situation in the Tang Dynasty can be stable and the betrayed princes are punished.

Wang Ping'an asked, "What is the situation when the emperor is doing so? Please tell me about it. I can also think of an idea for you."

Li Zhi was silent for a while, looked back at the outer hall, turned around, and then whispered: "It was my uncle who showed the letter from the governor of Youzhou to his father, and he made his father so angry that he vomited blood. He passed away before he passed away!"

Wang Ping'an said a word, feeling sad. In real history, Li Shimin was angry to death by Princess Gaoyang. But he could solve Princess Gaoyang, but he couldn't solve Li Ke. No matter how he thought, he could not think that Li Ke, a loser, could make such a big mistake and make Li Shimin angry to death!
