Chapter 234: Re-enter the Taiji Palace
Yanzheng Gate, the garrison of the Longwu Army. General Chen Xuanli has all kinds of tastes in his heart. The prince came in person, and in a few words, he couldn't resist the pressure and completely gave up wait-and-see. And at the moment of giving up the last wait-and-see, it is equivalent to him giving up his military power. Of course, there is also an element of his own suffering.
The commander of the Longwu Army, Shi Chen Qianli, was picked up by him, but who could have expected that it was this Chen Qianli, who seemed to be loyal and honest, who turned against himself first, and then against Qin Jin. I heard that Chen Qianli himself was also seriously injured in the battle of ambushing Qin and Jin, which cannot but be said to be a reciprocal way of heaven.
It wasn't until Chen Qianli appeared in the Dragon Martial Army in a martial uniform that he couldn't help but be secretly disappointed. Obviously, there is no one who knows the soldiers around the prince, although Li Mi is famous, he can only be helpful in terms of power and trickery, and if there is anyone who can be relied on in military affairs, there is only Chen Qianli.
Although Chen Qianli is now a long history, the limelight and the power in his hands have already had the momentum to faintly overshadow him as a general. There is no way to do this, Chen Qianli stood in the prince's team at a critical moment, and it just so happened that there was no one around the prince who could rely on enough soldiers, so it could only be said that this person was used to judging the situation. After a complete break with Qin Jin, who else could threaten his position?
In Chen Xuanli's heart, Chen Qianli naturally did all this for the sake of wealth and danger, from betraying himself to betraying Qin Jin, maybe one day, as long as the chips are big enough, he will not blink even if he is afraid of betraying the prince.
Chen Xuanli knew that once the crown prince successfully ascended the throne, his officialdom career would come to an end, and Chen Qianli, who was in the limelight, might replace him. But he doesn't seem to continue to resist, what he is doing now is enough to just hope for a good death in the future and not affect his relatives and family.
Therefore, Chen Xuanli did not do what he did openly and secretly, but fully cooperated with Li Mi to deploy troops. But what made him a little strange was why Chen Qianli didn't appear again after he only showed up in the army?
This kind of thinking is only passing in his heart, Chen Qianli's situation has nothing to do with him anymore, now he only wants the word peace, and it is better to have more than one thing.
……
"Sir, what is the condition of Chen Changshi's injury, can he come forward to see the situation in a short period of time?"
The crown prince Li Heng had undisguised worry on his face. Now, the only person he can rely on is Chen Qianli.
"Chen Changshi's life is safe, but he must recuperate in peace. Your Highness rest assured that there are ministers in foreign affairs. ”
"It's good that my life is safe, I wonder what Mr. will do next?"
On this day, the kung fu changed too much for Li Heng, first Qin Jin's intentions were wrong, and Chen Qianli saw through it, and he was seriously injured after sniping and reflexively. This infighting has frightened him a lot, and if there is a case, everything that has been achieved so far will be in vain.
"Storm Nannei and coerce the Zen position of the Son of Heaven!"
Li Heng's face changed slightly.
"Didn't Chen Changshi say that if he did this, he would inevitably become a wide enemy...... Besides, forcing the father with the son, thousands of years later, how will the historian arrange it for me?"
Li Heng's worries came from many aspects, one was Chen Changshi's earnest instructions before he was recuperating from his injuries, and the other was that he was afraid of having a bad reputation for killing his father. If once the Xingqing Palace is stormed, who can guarantee that the Son of Heaven will give up resistance peacefully under the war?
Li Mi sneered: "Chen Changshi is thinking of the old love of the Son of Heaven, and he is unwilling to be too resolute. However, did His Royal Highness ever think that if Emperor Taizongwen had not made a decision, shot his brother in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and persecuted Gaozu to the throne, how could there be a later Zhenguan Dazhi? If today's son had not decisively swept away all political enemies with two coups, killed Princess Taiping, imprisoned Emperor Ruizong, and had the Tang Dynasty of Kaiyuan Tianbao?
Li Heng was silent, but Li Mi spoke faster.
"History books are never written only by the victors, and historians only write for the victors. As long as His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he can clear the situation, pacify the chaos and thieves in Anshi, and revive the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Thousands of years later, people will only remember the generation of heroes of Zhongxing Datang!"
The words of enthronement made Li Heng's heart pound, he trembled and became the prince for more than ten years, waiting for this moment. However, this moment seemed to be within reach for him.
"Your Highness, what are you still hesitating about?
"Okay! Just follow Mr.'s words! Storm Nannei!"
Li Mi's face was happy, before that, he was afraid that the prince would look forward and backward and dare not make a decision, but now it seems that he underestimated the prince.
"Your Highness is wise!"
After bowing, Li Mi was about to leave to arrange the siege. Li Heng summoned him again.
"Sir, what does General Qin think is the intention of making a sudden plot and breaking out?"
Li Heng still refused to believe that Qin Jin would sit down for such a stupid thing, and he didn't want to believe that Qin Jin would turn his back on him.
Li Mi sneered in his heart, knowing that the prince had made another soft-hearted mistake.
"Your Highness is so confused! The powerful generals and ministers are all in one person, and for His Highness, how is it different from a tiger living on the side of the couch?"
Li Heng was terrified, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Mi didn't say anything more, bowed deeply again, brushed his sleeves and turned to leave.
The crown prince Li Heng rubbed his temples and forced himself to calm down, the time for the storming of Xingqing Palace was set for tonight, if everything went well, when the sun rose tomorrow, he would sit on the throne of his dreams. He had been looking forward to this moment for more than ten years, but when he really waited for this day, he couldn't give birth to half of the joy and excitement, he only felt that his heart was heavy and he was lost.
……
It was getting late, and the Tongyang Gate of Xingqing Palace slowly opened a crack, and a group of five people walked out of the dark door hole like thieves. Outside the palace gate, someone had already prepared a war horse, and the five people saddled on the horse, one of them moved a little slowly, and the moment he got on the horse, a strand of gray hair scattered out of the tightly wrapped big gun.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, like muffled thunder.
"The rebels are coming, let's go!"
Five people and five horsemen, beating horses and speeding up, and dozens of horses on the way, all the way to the imperial city to settle down.
The lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army was among these dozens of horsemen, and the brigade had been sent by him to the Jinming Gate in Xiyuan to go in the direction of Xingqing Gate in Yongjiafang to confuse the prince's people. And he escorted the Son of Heaven and quietly went out of Xingqing Palace and rushed to Taiji Palace.
After all, Taiji Palace is different from Xingqing Palace, Xuanwu Gate can go directly to the West Inner Garden outside Chang'an City, out of the West Inner Garden is a frank Wei Plain, even if the situation is unfavorable, who can stop the Son of Heaven?
Qin Jin urged the war horse under his crotch to speed up, before arriving at the imperial city and arriving at the Taiji Palace, he still couldn't relax his vigilance, the most difficult ninety-nine steps in front of him had been passed, and he must not be stumped in this last step. He glanced at Li Longji, the son of heaven who was riding a horse and galloping, and the seemingly old son of heaven was undiminished and skillfully controlled the good horse under his crotch.
Although he was old, Li Longji still ran steadily ahead of most people with his amazing perseverance and skilled equestrianism.
Seeing this scene, Qin Jin sighed secretly and had to admit that for the Son of Heaven, Li Longji was indeed too much better than his son Li Heng. It's a pity that the hero is in the twilight, and it is difficult to do anything again, although Li Heng is not as good as his father, he is the most outstanding among Li Longji's many sons.
However, after this battle, as long as Li Longji returns to power, Li Heng's fate can be predicted. And Datang may be about to usher in a younger and more shallow prince. Is this a blessing or a curse for the stormy Tang Dynasty?
In the past, Qin Jin still felt that Li Longji was actually difficult to deputy of his fame, but just through today's decisive choice, he understood that the old Son of Heaven was not actually a difficult deputy, and how could ordinary people be able to make such a bold decision? Even if he himself was in transposition with Li Longji, would he dare to leave Xingqing Palace with only four chamberlains and follow the rebel generals who had mutinied and rebelled a day ago?
Qin Jin didn't know the answer, even if he dared to gamble, he was a person who would be excited and scared after all.
The group wore stars and moons, and they could enter the imperial city to settle down, but they saw that the inner supervisor Jingyou had already led a group of eunuchs to wait in the door.
At present, the imperial city is still under the control of the Shenwu Army, although it is still safe, but as long as the Longwu Army blows with all its strength, the little men and horses of the Shenwu Army will also fall into a dangerous situation, so it is imperative that after receiving the Son of Heaven, it should be fully contracted and defend the Taiji Palace. And the prince's people didn't know that the Son of Heaven had left Xingqing Palace, so let them fight outside Xingqing Palace, all signs have shown that after the prince took over the Longwu Army, he already had a plan to storm Xingqing Palace. It's just that they don't know that the only people waiting in Xingqing Palace are Gao Xianzhi and the palace guards who are the last resistance!
"Slaves and maids are too late to welcome the saints, and the escort is not good, and it is a capital crime!"
"What kind of sin are you, look up!"
By the light of the blazing torches, Li Longji saw clearly the face of the eunuch kneeling in front of the horse. This is Bian Lingcheng's fake son, the inner supervisor Jingyou. Jing Youqi gave him a good impression, but he didn't expect that he would also be connected with Qin Jin.
"Jingyou, is that you?"
"It's the slave maid! The slave maid was sent to the Taiji Palace because of her sin, thinking that she would never see the saint's face again, she couldn't think of it, she couldn't think of it, she couldn't think of it......"
As he spoke, Jingyou's voice choked up.
Li Longji did not get off the horse, but only urged: "Get up, this is not a place to stay for a long time!"
In his heart, he was a little relieved, Jingyou's pretentiousness could be regarded as his self-justification, he did not collude with Qin Jin, but offended people and was sent to Taiji Palace.
From Anmen to the Changle Gate in the south wall of Taiji Palace, it was only a blink of an eye, and the group rushed into the door at a gallop, Qin Jin's hanging heart only settled down slightly, the big battle was imminent, success or failure was in this move, even if he had experienced dozens of battles, he was rarely nervous.
"Qin Qing, where is Gao Lishi?"
As soon as the Son of Heaven got off the horse, he suddenly asked about Gao Lishi.
