Chapter 219: Coup d'état
Linzi Palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
During the state funeral, occasionally there were soldiers in the army secretly entering and leaving the Linzi Palace.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Linzi palace has been lit up almost all night.
It stands to reason that now is the best time to do so. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Wei had not yet sat down, but she was afraid that in the back, the Empress Dowager's power would become stronger and stronger, and the Li Tang royal family would usher in another catastrophe.
It's a pity that Li Longji was indecisive and hesitated left and right, his strength was not enough, and he was not enough to confront Empress Dowager Wei.
Until that night, Cui Lu knocked on the door of the Linzi Palace, bringing urgent news, Zong Chuke and Wu Yanxiu, the husband of Princess Anle, were planning to get rid of the new emperor, but their only concern was King Xiang and Princess Taiping, and it was estimated that the next step was to try their best to get rid of these two.
Li Longji was shocked and decided to fight against the water.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the two generals who had a friendship with Li Longji in the Ten Thousand Cavalry came to the door and muttered and complained dissatisfiedly that the soldiers were arbitrarily bullied under the control of Wei's children, so that the morale of the army was broken.
Li Longji then seized the opportunity to show his determination to the two generals, who looked at each other and immediately declared that they would go all out to support the king of Linzi.
A dark war has finally officially begun......
For the next period of time, Cui Lu continued to stay in the palace, and Jing Ci and Xue Chongjian also retreated to the second line to inquire about all parties for Li Longji. Li Longji led the generals who supported him and began to plan day and night.
…………
Li Longji used his contacts and in-laws to constantly win over and persuade the people who held the army, coupled with his own resourcefulness and luck, and finally ......
A.D. 710, June. At night, Li Longji charged the Empress Dowager with poisoning the first emperor, and assigned generals to attack various palace gates, gathered people from all sides, and successfully attacked the palace.
The Queen Mother and Li Longji confronted each other, and the palace once again flowed blood.
Xiao Ping led the army to defend the palace desperately, but unfortunately the strength of the two armies was very different, and the men and horses led by Xiao Ping were defeated one after another, and he held a sharp sword and constantly defended himself......
Xiao Ping looked at the palace that was bleeding all night, and not far behind him were the Queen Mother and the new emperor. The front was violent, his well-defined face was splashed with a little blood, and even though his hands and feet were tired, he still resisted stubbornly...... Gradually, the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier...... He was stabbed with a sword, followed by an arrow in the shoulder......
The injuries were not critical, but Xiao Ping couldn't exert the slightest strength, his ears were filled with the sound of fighting, and the new emperor behind him was shouting in panic...... Looking at the black armor and dead corpses in front of him, his heart suddenly emptied...... The strength of his body no longer has a source, and An An, Jing Ci, and Huan'er have all left him...... What is he fighting for? A war without comrades-in-arms is meaningless at all.
Everyone he cared about was not with him now.
In the darkness of the night, the sword slowly slipped from his wide palm...... The tall and thick body was shot by an arrow again, and he finally fell down after losing his strength, looking at the sword light and blood shadow with a pair of empty eyes, he had already lost consciousness.
Kill –
Kill –
The opposing generals fell, and the morale of the soldiers and horses led by Li Longji rose greatly, and in a blink of an eye, they had been killed in front of the Queen Mother and the new emperor, and the Queen Mother was finally frightened.
Not long after, Princess An Le, Wu Yanxiu and others were killed one after another by the soldiers who followed Li Longji.
In just a few hours, Li Longji won a big victory.
The dawn broke in the east, and overnight, a sharp sword hanging over Li Tang's head was finally removed.
No matter what the current situation is, Li Tang Jiangshan will eventually return to stability.
This time the troops were sent in the name of killing Wei sinners, and Li Longji did not touch the new emperor at all.
Xiangwang's Mansion.
Li Longji, who was wearing armor, strode into the palace, saw his father, and immediately knelt down and buckled his head at the king in front of him and said, "Please forgive my father, the child has concealed your unauthorized actions!" ”
King Xiang looked at his beloved son, who was bloodied in battle and dressed in military uniform, and couldn't help but burst into tears, he stepped forward and hugged his son in his arms, "Okay! Well done son! is worthy of being a disciple of the Li family, and the Li Tang Sect Temple has been preserved, and the credit is all due to you! Good! ”
A few good things in a row are not enough to express the mood of King Xiang, his father is ashamed of himself, this son is worthy of being the grandson she liked the most when the queen mother was alive, this Li flesh and blood, will open up a prosperous era in the future!
In this coup, the most shocking was Princess Taiping.
She couldn't have imagined that it was the low-key Li Longji who personally solved the Empress Dowager Wei, and if you look closely, her father is the king of the prime minister, and he must be inseparable from the instructions of the king of the prime minister.
Princess Taiping came to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day.
"The Fourth Emperor Brother is really hidden, and the little sister is so hidden." Princess Taiping smiled and sat down opposite King Xiang.
King Xiang personally poured a cup of tea for her and put it in front of her, "I really don't know about this, it's all done by this kid." ”
Princess Taiping picked up the teacup and said with a spring breeze on her face, "Come on, Brother Sihuang, you will admit it, little sister, I won't say anything about you, I will only say that you have done a good job." ”
"Alas, anyway, I haven't won a quarrel with you for my brother in my life, so whatever Taiping says, it's what it is."
"Hehe, Taiping has the best relationship with you since I was a child, and it has always been the Fourth Emperor Brother who let me." Princess Taiping's graceful and luxurious face rarely showed a hint of softness.
"You are our little sister, the most beloved little princess of my father and queen mother, I won't let you let anyone."
"Then again, what is the imperial brother going to do next?" Princess Taiping stared at King Xiang with a smile.
King Xiang looked calm, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, so naturally he will vigorously support the new emperor, alas, speaking of which, the third emperor brother is really wronged, and he died in the hands of Wei, who has been a close confidant all his life." ”
"The young emperor is young, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on this country, right?" Princess Taiping grasped the point she wanted to talk about.
King Xiang raised his eyebrows, and chuckled at the end, Taiping's thoughts, how could he not know, "The young emperor is rightly inherited from the unification, and whoever overthrows him is not right." ”
"Could it be that the royal brother is really willing to watch a child reap the benefits of a fisherman? Besides, the young emperor is a coward at first glance, so the imperial brother is not afraid that there will be a second Empress Wei in the future? ”
"Then according to the peace, what should I do?"
Princess Taiping looked directly at King Xiang, "The imperial brother has no interest in the throne at all?" ”
King Xiang shook his head with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said: "What's so good about being an emperor, it's not like I haven't done it for my brother, it's hard to describe the taste." Look at the first emperor, it didn't end up like this in the end. Whoever wants to do it, if you like it, you can take it. ”
Princess Taiping stared at King Xiang with a smile for a moment, and finally put down the delicate teacup in her hand, "What did the imperial brother say, how dare Taiping covet the throne." In my opinion, the throne belongs to the royal brother, and I also ask the imperial brother to compromise for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. ”
King Xiang looked surprised, "Taiping ......"
"Brother Huang, don't worry, Taiping has his own way to make the young emperor abdicate by himself."
Princess Taiping is very smart, and she knows the current situation very well. Wei has just been killed, if she really takes over the throne, she will definitely provoke the court to disagree, then I am afraid that public opinion will be out of control, and she has no military power in her hands, in case she is forced to abdicate, there will be no day to turn over.
It's better to let the imperial brother succeed to the throne first, and who the imperial brother will pass on the throne to in the future, that's another story. At least, she still has a long time to go for her chance.
