Dugu Kaiyuan found Wei Qi, hoping that he could transfer a few artillery pieces into the city, and with artillery he could easily blast through the city wall, not to mention the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace wall of Xingqing Palace.

But Wei Wei was a little embarrassed, Gao Changhe and Tian Chengsi were the generals who directly controlled the Shenwu Army, and Gao Changhe killed the messenger he sent, obviously opposing Li Xi's succession. Tian Chengsi only accepted the order, but did not accept the order, so he should be waiting and hesitating.

Therefore, Wei Wei judged that Tian Chengsi should be able to win it, so he issued an edict to Tian Chengsi in the name of Li Xi, asking him to bring the firearms battalion and artillery battalion into the city.

In the camp north of the city, Lu Qi was fully armed, and all the generals under his command sat in two rows.

"Where is Tian Chenghei?"

"The last general!"

"The treacherous people in the city took advantage of the prime minister's expedition to the west, intending to cause chaos and seek to usurp the throne, and today is the time to completely eradicate the rebellion!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

In the middle of the order, a military official came to report:

"Shangshu's right servant shoots the fifth Qi!"

Fifth Qi was invited by Lu Qi, and last night he almost scolded this straight-tempered minister, in fact, in order to confuse those troublesome thieves in Chengli.

After a while, the fifth Qi entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and Lu Qi gave it up to the main position. Fifth Qi was also interested in not sitting, and finally sat down next to Lu Qi's hand.

Although he is the governor of Zhongshu Province, he is now in the barracks, and it is Lu Qi who has full command of the army, so naturally Lu Qi should be in charge.

"Last night's incident was to confuse the thieves, so I had to do it, and please don't be surprised!"

Fifth Qi laughed to himself.

"It's all for the safety of the court, so where does the blame come from?"

But he had some unpleasant feelings in his heart, it turned out that the Shenwu Army had long been obsessed with this rebellion, and he was the only one who was obsessed with political affairs, and he knew everything in hindsight. Now thinking about the reactions of Xia Yuanji, Wei Jiansu and others, it is logical.

These old foxes in officialdom may have seen through the Shenwu Army for a long time, so they have been pretending to be confused.

However, Xia Yuanji was also trapped in Chang'an City, and he didn't know if he would mess with the poisonous hands of the rebels.

Lu Qi saw what Fifth Qi was worried about, so he said:

"There are some Shenwu troops in the imperial city, the treasury and important documents will not be destroyed, and the vast majority of the attention of the rebels is concentrated on the Xiangfu and Xingqing Palace, as long as these two places are not breached, they will not have the spare energy to loot elsewhere. ”

Fifth, Qi is also very curious about one more thing.

"Dare to ask the general, prime minister, is the prime minister really defeated?"

Lu Qi laughed.

"Is it true that the prime minister has no confidence in the Shenwu Army? Last night, Lu had already received a secret report that the prime minister's entourage had passed through Qinzhou three days ago, and he thought that he would arrive in Chang'an in the next day or two. The thieves should have also gotten the news, knowing that if nothing happens, they will never have a chance, so they took the risk!"

"Really?"

Fifth Qi was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that Qin Jin had kept the itinerary so successful, and the subordinates of Zhongshu didn't know anything about it.

Suddenly, he figured it out a little, maybe all this was to promote the hasty rebellion of Li Xi and others, only in this way could he have the opportunity to justifiably wipe out these capable people.

The thought only flashed through his mind, and whether the truth was true or not, no one would probably ever know.

Fifth Qi doesn't want to know either!

Lu Qi said:

"That's true, the prime minister's army is triumphant, and the small chaos is not worth mentioning at all, let's win with one blow, and we can't let them block the prime minister. ”

"Since everything has been prepared for a long time, the general will give the order to send troops, and the thieves will be suppressed!"

Gao Changhe's firearms battalion was all sent out, lined up outside the Gwanghwamen Gate to Jingyao Gate, hundreds of cannons were ready to fire, and the cannons were holding torches and waiting for the order to ignite.

Suddenly, the mountains shook, as if the whole earth was trembling, and one after another muffled thunder exploded in the dawn sky.

Most of the defenders on the city wall had never seen such a formation, and many were so frightened that their hands and feet went limp, and some even peed their pants.

These defenders were not soldiers who specialized in defending the city under the rule of the general of the prison gate, but the Nanya forbidden army responsible for maintaining law and order, and most of them had not received training to defend the city.

Fifth Qi had never seen such a battle, and even if he had been reminded in advance and covered his ears, he was shocked by the volley of hundreds of artillery pieces.

Five or six volleys were fired in succession, and there were hardly any living soldiers on the city walls, and those who were lucky enough to be alive all fled to nowhere.

As soon as Tian Chenghei waved the flag, the infantry carried a long ladder and began to attack the city.

Everything went extremely smoothly, and the infantry in charge of the siege met with little decent resistance. The Nanya forbidden army guarding the city gate had no training to defend the city, and they went into battle in a hurry, and they looked vulnerable in front of the well-trained Shenwu army.

Xingqing Palace, Li Xi finally stood on the Qinzheng Building, which is where his grandfather governed the government, and from now on he will also follow in the footsteps of his grandfather to push the Tang Dynasty to another prosperous era, but all this must start from the elimination of the rebel party.

Emperor Daxing's Zigong was carried to the Qinzheng Palace, and he wanted to officially sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty in front of his father, so that his father would leave this chaotic and dirty world with relief.

Faintly, there seemed to be a sound of thunder, and then the entire Qinzheng Building was shaking, just like the earth moving.

"The ground moves, the ground moves, hurry up and escort Your Majesty away!"

Ground movement will cause houses to collapse, and many people's first reaction is to protect Li Xi to open land.

But Cui Lian is well-informed.

"What are you panicking about? This is the artillery of the Shenwu Army, it should be His Majesty's edict to transfer the artillery into the city, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is just around the corner!"

Everyone believed Cui Lian's words, and there were bursts of cheers inside and outside the Qinzheng Building.

Including Li Xi, he was also convinced of this, only Wei Wei was puzzled, he had just received the report, and Tian Chengsi also cut off the messenger's head, indicating that people would not obey the order of the new emperor at all, why did Cui Xianggong say that the artillery was transferred into the city?

Just as he was confused, a small yellow door suddenly ran into the Qinzheng Building in a panic.

"No, it's not good, the Shenwu Army has come in...... Ah......h

Before he finished speaking, Dugu Kaiyuan pulled out his knife and cut off the head of this unlucky eunuch.

"Those who disturb the morale of the army will not be forgiven!"

However, this practice is to cover up the ears and steal the bell, and the news of the Shenwu army entering the city spread like wings, and those thieves who robbed were also frightened, for fear of being caught by the Shenwu army and cutting off their heads.

The situation took a turn for the worse after the capture of Xingqing Palace, Wei Kui's heart was shocked, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.

He secretly glanced at Li Xi who was standing on a high place and Cui Lian who was holding his dog around him, and suddenly the picture in front of him was extremely unreal, as if he was in a dream.

Li Xi's voice was already hoarse, but he still used all his strength to roar loudly:

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the father and the emperor, the Li family, kill the thief!

Kill the thief! Kill the thief!

The response was sparse and scarce.

Suddenly, Wei Wei woke up, and he realized that he had pulled the entire family into the abyss from which he could never recover.

Li Xi's promise, Cui Lian's quietness, who can guarantee that it is not carefully designed, just to pull him, a servant, into the water?

Of course, the main reason why he was willing to help Li Xi ascend the throne and seize the throne was to get the definite news from Li Xi that Qin Jin had been defeated in the Western Regions, which he also verified several times, and even sent someone to Hexi and Longyou.

But the expected situation did not appear, the Shenwu army still seemed to be united, and Li Xi's ascension to the throne was like child's play, and he was about to die without a place to be buried.

Wei Wei suddenly had the idea of going outside, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death to come, even if he failed, he had to fight until the last moment.

"I am willing to go to the city to command and fight against the traitors!"

"Wei Qing is loyal and brave, quasi-play!"

Wei Wei took Dugu Kaiyuan and 5,000 Nanya forbidden troops out of Xingqing Palace from the south gate, and went straight to Jinguang Gate along Suzaku Street.

Dugu Kaiyuan felt strange.

"The Shenwu Army broke the city in the north, why did we go to the Jinguang Gate in the west?"

Wei Wei sneered a few times.

"Can't you see it? The move has failed, let's escape now, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, and there will only be one end if we stay!"

Dugu Kaiyuan shuddered, he knew that Wei Wei was right, but there were still family members and children in the city, so he couldn't escape alone to survive, and he had to take them with him.

"I'm going to Yongxingfang to pick up my family and children first!"

Wei Wei reprimanded:

"It's too late now, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance again, while the defenders of the Golden Light Gate haven't ...... yet"

The word surrender, he really didn't want to say it, the Nanya Forbidden Army was a good hand at arresting people, which could be used to defend the city, and it was really a duck to the shelf.

Arriving at the Jinguang Gate, Wei Wei was shocked to find that the city gate had been blocked by earth and rocks. When the defenders learned that the Son of Heaven had sent his servants to help defend the city, they cheered and applauded, and another swarm flocked to him to climb the city wall.

Wei Wei was helpless, half pushed and half went to the city, and looked around, there was no Shenwu army attacking the city here, which was also a blessing in misfortune.

Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and shouted:

"Look there, look there, is there a troop?"

Wei Qi followed the prestige, outside the golden light gate is an open field, almost at a glance, at the end of the official road there is a cavalry galloping, the wind hunting the banner is very familiar.

In Chang'an City, there is no one who does not know this flag.

"Cheng, Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister's banner!"

Someone finally blurted out.

Wei Wei rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at it carefully, although the flag was slightly old, it was indeed the flag of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm back, the prime minister is back!"

Subconsciously blurted out, Wei Wei only felt that his feet were weak and he sat on the ground.

Qin Jin finally returned, and finally returned to Chang'an, which had been absent for two years.

What greets him here is a brand-new Chang'an!
