"Does Li Chao want us to help him open the Hanjing gate?" asked Li Shentong's eldest son, Prince Jiaodong. "If it's just like this, I think I can agree. But we have to promise us that we will help us speak well to His Majesty in the future."

Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shentong was inclined to Shimin when he fought against Jiancheng. But after all, this time, they were also working in the restoration of the court.

Jiaodong King Li Daoyan was named Duke Yixing County after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and later became the King of Jiaodong. During Zhenguan, he was demoted to Duke Jiaodong, and the Supreme Emperor was restored, and he was named King of Jiaodong. If the Supreme Emperor could truly control the world, Li Daoyan actually thought this was not bad.

But now no one knows that the Supreme Emperor is finished.

"Things can't be that simple." Li Shentong said to his eldest son, he had always liked this eldest son. When Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan, the news came to Chang'an. The court sent troops to chase them. Li Shentong and his family fled into the mountains. At that time, they could not eat the food, but his son went down the mountain to beg for food to pick wild fruits. After picking the wild fruits, he refused to eat some of the food he had asked for, but he wanted to bring them all back for him to eat first.

Li Chao's letter only said that he would persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and did not ask him to do anything. But Li Shentong believed that Li Chao would definitely have many requests to send someone to deliver the letter.

It's too simple to open the Hanjing gate. At this moment, everyone knows that the Supreme Emperor is over. I guess many people are thinking about how to redeem their merits and re-submission to Li Shimin. Li Chao wrote any letter to any one, and they are willing to cooperate.

Besides, he had heard that since Li Chao raised his troops to help the king, he had been unstoppable all the way, and no one could stop him. Now Li Chao has an army of 100,000. No matter how tall Hanjing is, he might be able to stop Li Chao?

"What are Li Chao's requirements?"

"I don't know yet, but he said he wanted me to see him."

"Go to see him? Go out of the city? How is this possible? Now there are people everywhere in the city, so we can't go out of the city silently to see him."

"No need to leave the city, the sender asked me to go to this location in Shangdongcheng, which is a warehouse." Li Shentong said an address.

"Li Chao is in the city? Impossible, this may be a trap." Li Shenfu didn't believe that Li Chao was in the city at this time. Even if Li Chao had the ability to come in, how dare he take the risk to come in?"

"Maybe, but since this is the condition proposed by Li Chao, if we want to escape from the current situation, we have to take a risk and give it a try." Li Shentong thought very clearly. If he didn't do anything, even if the emperor could not hold them accountable after the Hanjing was defeated, their team would be over.

Li Daoyan stood up and said, "Father, let me go. If it is really a trap, I will take it alone and not drag the family down."

"It's time now, so you don't have to push me. Since you are taking risks, how can you be without risks? I'll go there myself and show my sincerity."

"Father, I'll go with you." Li Daoyan said.

Li Shentong nodded with relief, "Okay."

It was early in the morning, it was not yet dawn.

The street drums rang as usual.

But the drums sounded, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The gates of Hanjing were closed and there was no sign of opening them. Through the high walls, people in the city could even hear the sound of drills coming from outside the city.

Although the situation worsened, the morning court did not stop.

Li Shentong took a shower and changed his clothes, changed into court clothes, and rode a horse into the palace.

In the Golden Palace, the emperor looked haggard, with dark circles and a gray complexion.

The morning court was also lifeless.

Someone once again made the suggestion of Xizhou, but the emperor refused to listen. Everyone saw that the emperor had already admitted the failure, but no one knew where the emperor wanted to take everyone.

After going down the court, Li Shentong hurried back and met his cousin Li Daozong in front of the palace gate.

He seemed to be in a hurry to go home, and the two looked at each other and greeted each other, but they were a little embarrassed. Everyone had a good relationship with Li Shimin before, but at this time they came out of Li Yuan's Golden Palace. Especially in this special period, everyone was avoiding something.

After returning home, Li Shentong changed his clothes and dressed up as a servant in the mansion, and then hid in the shopping cart at home. His son Li Daoyan pretended to be a servant who followed the car and followed behind the car.

I tried my best to defend myself, and rushed to the warehouse carefully.

But when I got inside, I found that there was no one.

After a while, footsteps came, the door was pushed open, and someone came in.

Li Shentong thought it was Li Chao who came, but as soon as the person came in, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The one who came was his nephew, Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia.

Li Daozong seemed to have never expected to see his cousin here. The two of them had just attended the morning court in the Golden Palace not long ago.

The two looked at each other, and no one knew how to explain why they appeared here.

"Haha, it seems that both of them are indeed trustworthy people." A voice sounded, and Li Shentong and Li Daozong both turned their heads over.

"Teacher Ke?"

Both of them recognized this. I don’t know if this man who just came in or had been hiding here. Now the man who suddenly appeared was Ke Qing, the coach next to Li Chao. Many people know that this person next to Li Chao is said to be a guard with great martial arts skills and is deeply trusted by Li Chao.

"It's down." Ke Qing walked out of the darkness. He was wearing a black cloak and a black cloak. If he was hidden, it would be difficult to find out.

"Is Wen Yuan here?"

Ke Qing smiled and said, "My husband has indeed entered the city, but he is not here. He is waiting for two of you in another place, please follow me!"

Only then did Li Shentong and Li Daozong realize that the other party was also here to see Li Chao.

After thinking it through, the two of them relaxed for a moment.

"Let's go together."

There are some things that everyone knows very well, but don’t need to be explained.

"Let's go together." Li Daozong smiled. Li Daozong is also a relatively powerful member of the royal family, but he is younger. The four recognized masters in the royal family are Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan. Among them, Li Shentong is from Li Yuan's generation, and he is Li Hu's grandson.

Li Xiaogong, Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong are all cousins ​​of the same generation, and they are also from Li Shimin's generation.

Li Shentong is the oldest, and Li Xiaogong is much older than Li Shimin, but Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan's cousins ​​are very young. Li Daoxuan died in battle when he was conquering Liu Heita a few years ago and was only a teenager.

Li Daozong was only twenty-four years old at this time. Like Li Daoxuan, he had been following Li Shimin to fight. However, this time, he was also invited away by Li Yuan first, and was forced to join the restoration of the imperial court.

"Why did King Yue enter the city? Is this too risky, right?" Li Daozong asked, but he was a little excited.
