The old slippery head is still the same as before, and he can't see anything from his expression. But Xie Yunxuan was different, his face was flushed, as if he had just drunk wine, his chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be out of breath.

"Needless to say, isn't it my second bet with Senior Brother Xie?" Lu Xiaoxian preconceived, "You are all good at face-to-face, I'm afraid you can also see it, Zhongzong will have a lifespan of three or five years." Not to mention that the Li Emperor family is all short-lived, Gaozu, Taizong, Empress Changsun, and Gaozong all suffer from qi and wind diseases, and Zhongzong is no exception. Just the current government is also turbulent, and a coup d'état will occur one day. In short, someone must inherit the throne after Zhongzong. I also understand your thoughts, and I will definitely make a bet on who will inherit the next president. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian said to Xie Yunxuan: "Senior brother, just say it directly, who do you value?" ”

A pool of beautiful water meanders between the two banks of various scenery, can you be comfortable and comfortable fishing in such a wonderful scenery?

I thought of everything that should have been thought of, and said everything that should have been said, Lu Xiaoxian's words directly blocked the mouths of the immoral ghost and the old slippery head, and he didn't even have a chance to explain.

The two glanced at each other, couldn't help shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, and Qi Qi looked at Xie Yunxuan.

Lu Xiaoxian's trickiness, Xie Yunxuan has understood it more than once, and knowing that now is not the time to be polite, he said bluntly: "I choose Li Chongfu, the king of the Emperor!" ”

As soon as Xie Yunxuan's words fell, Lu Xiaoxian said: "Then I will choose Li Longji, the king of Linzi County." ”

Lu Xiaoxian's words not only stunned Xie Yunxuan, but even the immoral ghost and the old slippery head were a little unexpected.

Li Xian has four sons, in addition to Li Chongrun, who is dead, the remaining three sons Li Chongfu, Li Chongjun and Li Chongmao, although Li Chongjun is now the crown prince, but Li Chongfu and Li Chongmao are not without a chance to inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, Xie Yunxuan's choice of Li Chongfu is also reasonable.

But Lu Xiaoxian's choice of Li Longji, the king of Linzi County, is too outrageous.

Putting aside the fact that Li Dan is Li Xian's younger brother, he will not have the opportunity to be the emperor. Even if Li Dan became the emperor, it would be impossible to pass on the throne to Li Longji.

Li Dan has five sons, namely Li Chengqi, Li Chengyi, Li Longji, Li Longfan, and Li Ye. Li Chengqi's mother, Concubine Liu, is the concubine, and Li Chengqi is the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and he can only pass on the throne to his eldest son Li Chengqi.

In the first year of the reign of the Emperor, Wu Zetian abolished Emperor Li Xian as the king of Luling, renamed Li Dan as the emperor, and ruled on all political affairs. At that time, the main concubine Liu was canonized as the queen, and the eldest son Li Chengqi was canonized as the crown prince.

Therefore, as long as Li Chengqi is there, there will be nothing to do with Li Longji.

Taking a step back, even if Li Chengqi can't be the emperor, there is still the second son Li Chengyi, Li Longji is only the third son of Li Dan, no matter how he counts, he has no hope of apex.

The immoral ghost couldn't see any clues from Lu Xiaoxian's expression, but he was not dead hearted, and was about to ask, but he heard Lu Xiaoxian speak first: "To bet or not to gamble?" ”

These words are not only asking Xie Yunxuan, but also asking about the lack of virtue ghosts and old slippery heads.

Xie Yunxuan said without hesitation: "Bet!" ”

Now that Xie Yunxuan has responded, the ghost who lacks virtue and the old slippery head have nothing to say.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and looked at the immoral ghost: "I agreed to your conditions, it's time to talk about us!" ”

……

In the early morning of the eighth day of the seventh month of the first year of Jinglong, when the first drum of Yingtianmen in Chang'an City sounded, hundreds of heavily armed Yulin soldiers rushed to Xuanwu Gate.

Many people who had just come out of the village did not know what to do, and they stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. And there are some who know the severity, look at the direction in which the soldiers are going, and immediately understand that something big is about to happen.

The Xuanwu Gate is so important, it is the throat of the palace and the outside world, and it is also the most critical gateway to the palace city and even the entire Chang'an City. The Xuanwu Gate is built on the Dragon Head Plain, and the terrain is high, so that you can clearly overlook the entire palace city. Ascend the tower, and you can see the movement of troops and generals anywhere in the city

In order to ensure the safety of the palace, the Xuanwu Gate was built very strong and heavy, and it would not be easily opened, and it would be difficult to succeed if there was no internal response to attack the city gate. But there are always exceptions, in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin launched a bloody coup d'état in Xuanwumen, killed the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and seized the throne.

And today's scene is so similar to the ninth year of Wude.

"Quick! Fast! Quickly capture the Xuanwu Gate! Zuo Yulin's general Li Duozuo kept urging his subordinates.

The soldiers only knew that the general was acting on orders, how dare they disobey the order, and quickly approached the Xuanwu Gate.

Right Yulin General Li Sichong and Li Chengjing were sweating in their palms, and they knew very well in their hearts that where there was any holy decree, Li Duozuo was just an edict. Both of them are children of the clan, and they have never seen any big scenes, but they are just hot-headed and participated in the coup d'état. At this time, the sword soldiers really want to see it, how can they not be nervous.

Compared with Li Sichong and Li Chengqing, Sha Zha Zhongyi and Ye Huli are much calmer. Sha Zha Zhongyi was originally born in Hu, and as Li Duozuo's subordinate, he followed Li Duozuo to fight for many years, and was a rare member of Li Duozuo's command. Ye Huli is Li Duozuo's son-in-law, and he has always been the only one who obeys Li Duozuo's orders, as long as Li Duozuo gives an order, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, he will dare to break through.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the soldiers guarding the gate were caught off guard and were rushed by the soldiers brought by Yehuli to cut down a piece. 67

Seeing this, Chen Xuanli, the general of Zuo Yulin, who was guarding the gate, shouted while leading the crowd to rush to the death: "Close the city gate!" ”

After rushing to kill the sergeant, Li Duozuo rode on his war horse and shouted: "Chen Xuanli, you give me a quick dodge!" ”

Hearing Li Duozuo's shout, Chen Xuanli's subordinates couldn't help but stagnate.

Li Duozuo had absolute authority in the Yulin Army, and he was a general for twenty years starting with Emperor Gaozong. When Chen Xuanli entered the Yulin Army as an ordinary soldier, Li Duozuo was a general, and now he has become a Yulin general, and Li Duozuo is still a general. During the Shenlong coup, it was Li Duozuo who led the Yulin army to attack the palace and forced Wu Zetian to locate in Li Xian.

Now that Li Duozuo has given an order to Chen Xuanli, how can he be indifferent?

But in just a moment, Chen Xuanli returned to normal, and made a conclusion in his heart: Li Duozuo rebelled, and he must not be allowed to attack Xuanwu Gate.

Speaking of this, it has something to do with Lu Xiaoxian.

Not long ago, Chen Xuanli received a letter from Lu Xiaoxian. In addition to greetings and reminiscences of the past, there was an inexplicable sentence at the end of the letter: The Xuanwu Gate is of great importance, and it is His Majesty's Xuanwu Gate, not anyone else's.

Chen Xuanli knew something about Lu Xiaoxian and knew that he must mean something, but he couldn't understand the reason. Today, Li Duozuo led his troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, and Chen Xuanli immediately understood the meaning of Lu Xiaoxian's letter.

The Xuanwu Gate must not be lost, this is related to the safety of His Majesty.

Chen Xuanli did not stop, and with the encouragement of his leading soldiers, the soldiers guarding the gate gradually stabilized their positions.

For a coup d'état to succeed, it is important to have suddenness, and the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the coup.

Li Duozuo ordered his soldiers to intensify the attack, while looking backwards, anxiously waiting for Li Chongjun's arrival.

Li Chongjun and Li Qianli led their troops to the Liang Palace, and according to the plan, they would come to meet Li Duozuo after they killed Wu Sansi.

In fact, Li Duozuo did not agree with Li Chongjun to go to the Liang Palace, killing a Wu Sansi didn't need him to go at all, it was enough to have Li Qianli, and the place where he should appear most should be Xuanwumen. However, Li Chongjun insisted on going to Liang Wangfu, and Li Duozuo had no choice but to agree. Now, he can only count on Lee Chongjun to come and join him as soon as possible.

The sound of the battle in Xuanwu Gate soon reached the palace, and Li Xian was not only not panicked when he heard the report.

"Yang Si, let's go, follow me to the Xuanwu Gate!" Li Xianyi waved his hand.

"Your Majesty! Cannot! Yang Si became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty should hide first, and wait until the incident subsides, it is too dangerous to go to Xuanwu Gate now!" ”

"Hide? Where to hide? Li Xian said lightly, "The palace is so big, if the Xuanwu Gate is really lost, it won't help if you hide anywhere!" The only plan now is to firmly hold the Xuanwu Gate and wait for reinforcements, there is still a glimmer of life! ”

In the past, the country belonged to the mother emperor, and Li Xian had to shrink back. But now that he is the emperor, can he still shrink?

Seeing that Yang Si was going to persuade again, Li Xian snorted coldly and said: "If you are afraid, stay here, I will go to Xuanwumen alone, I will not believe it, the Yulin soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will kill their emperor?" ”

After that, Li Xian no longer paid attention to Yang Si and walked towards the outside of the hall.

His Majesty wants to go to danger alone, this is worth it, Yang Si hurriedly beckoned the subordinates of Tianji Pavilion and accompanied Li Xianhao towards the Xuanwu Gate.

In the court, Empress Wei heard that Li Xian had gone to Xuanwu Gate, she thought for a moment and beckoned the maid to go to Xuanwu Gate as well.

Under the Xuanwu Sect, Sha Zha Zhongyi, who was beside Li Duozuo, suddenly shouted loudly: "General, look, they are coming!" ”

Li Duozuo hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Li Qianli leading a hundred and ten Yulin sergeants to arrive.

When he got closer, Li Duozuo only saw Li Qianli, but he didn't see Li Chongjun, and hurriedly asked, "Is it going well?" What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"It's going well, Wu Sansi's father and son and dozens of subordinates have been ambushed!" Li Qianli replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are still important matters, let me come first, and he will arrive later!" ”

"What could be more important than taking the Xuanwu Gate! It's nonsense! Li Duozuo couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Li Xian, Yang Si and others appeared on the tower of Xuanwu Gate.

Li Duozuo knew that now was not the time to complain, so he shouted at the city tower: "Your Majesty, on the orders of the crown prince, Wu Sansi and his son have been killed, please hand over Wei and Shangguan Wan'er!" ”

The killing of Wu Sansi's father and son was like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding above the heads of a group of people in the city tower.
