In fact, whether it is Li Xian or Li Dan, once you sit on the dragon chair, you will inevitably lose some things that can never be recovered, such as family affection, such as friendship

……

Xuanwumen Square was silent.

Xuanwumen Square, outside the forbidden area, there are three sentry camps, each battalion, stationed more than 20 soldiers of the Yulin Army.

On the roof of the sentry camp, there is a small tower on each side, which is guarded by a sentry.

In addition, each outpost often sent four cavalrymen to patrol the square. If something unexpected happens, they will release rockets to inform the defenders of the Xuanwu Gate.

The distance between the castle and the outpost is about 3,000 feet. The guards of the city view received the report and had time to prepare for the situation.

Now, two Praetorian wagons passed through the outpost without incident.

The rumbling sound of cars broke through the silence of Xuanwumen Square.

So, the soldiers of the left sentry battalion waved a wind lantern to inform the guards of the city.

As a result, the outer gate of the second gate on the left of the Xuanwu Gate opened, and the four guards of the Yulin Army saluted the two wagons with tents, and then the inner city gate was also opened.

So, the two carriages drove straight into the military palace.

The general Li Duozuo had already received the report, the main door of the secret room was opened, and the general Li Zhan wore a waist knife and stood at the door to welcome the visitors.

The general's expression was serious, and he exchanged a look with Zhang Cambodia, then turned to Li Zhan and said in a low voice: "You are passing on the guards of the prison to the left and right!" Go ahead and do what you want, the sooner the better. ”

General Li Zhan responded in a low voice and immediately turned around and went out.

"Elder Zhang Ge!" Li Duozuo respectfully bowed to Zhang Khan Zhi, "The preparations for this place have been completed, please rest for a while, we can act at any time." ”

"The merits of the great general will forever be recorded in the annals of history." Zhang Cambodia said solemnly.

At the end of the day, the wind rose, the wind lanterns on the Xuanwu Gate City View were shaking, and the iron horse made a tinkling sound in the wind.

Behind them, the first and auxiliary prime minister Zhang Khan Zhi and the general Li Duozuo and others, led 500 soldiers of the Yulin army to the east from the north gate inner road, passed through the city, and went straight to the palace.

The Hall of Eternal Life of Tongtian Palace is Wu Zetian's residence.

After her illness, Wu Zetian's sleep was very bad, and she went to bed at the beginning of the year, but she couldn't sleep. Usually, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong took turns reciting poems to her, and it was not until she entered a hazy state that the brothers retreated to the outer room, and four maids waited for Wu Zetian in a smoked cage.

Shangguan Wan'er was not able to sleep immediately, she entered the smoking cage from the locker room and looked at Wu Zetian who was sleeping inside. Every night, before going to bed, she would go to Wu Zetian's house to see it once as usual.

Although she walked to the bed gently, Wu Zetian opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty is not asleep yet?" Wan'er asked in a low voice.

"I fell asleep, but somehow woke up again." Wu Zetian frowned, "People can't get old, when they get old, there will be a lot of tricks." ”

"Perhaps, it's because I'm tired from watching the rain today."

Wu Zetian didn't seem to agree with Wan'er's opinion, she turned her body with difficulty, as if to say to herself: "I don't know why, the muscles in my right cheek are also trembling, there won't be an accident, right?" ”

"Naturally, there will be no accidents."

"Hmm." She yawned, "Wan'er, you've worked hard, go to sleep." She finished and closed her eyelids.

Wan'er still walked out of the locker room from the smoker cage and went back to her room.

That's right.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound came in, and she listened to the sound from far and near, which made Wan'er stunned, in Tongtian Palace, it was impossible for anyone to make noise at night.

At this time, Zhang Yizhi's brothers also returned to the sleeping place of the right hall, and they were equally startled by the noisy sound.

"Gorou, go and watch!" Zhang Changzong said.

Before Zhang Yi could say a word, a grand cracking sound suddenly came out. The window lattice was shattered, the door was opened, the curtain was lifted, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Yulin Army entered through the broken windows and doors and rushed to Zhang Yizhi's brother.

"You guys!" Zhang Yizhi was shocked and asked, "What for?" ”

The group did not answer, but went forward and seized their brother. Zhang Changzong saw that the person was wearing the uniform of the Yulin Army, and knew that a great change had taken place in the court, and when he saw his brother struggling, he said heavily: "Yi Zhi, don't move!" ”

Zhang Yizhi had also seen the person's costumes, he turned his head sideways and shouted out in panic: "Liulang, they are the Yulin Army ......"

The soldiers of the Yulin Army had already pushed their brothers out.

Outside, Li Zhan and Chen Xuanli, the generals of the Yulin Army, stood by their swords, and many soldiers of the Yulin Army were waiting, and when the Zhang brothers were escorted out of the inner room, the two captains put the lanterns in their hands in front of the two, and at the same time, reported in a deep voice: "It is verified that there is no error." ”

Li Zhan waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

"Wait!" Chen Xuanli hurriedly said, "According to the prince's order, the Zhang brothers must stay alive!" ”

"Prince's order, how come I don't know?" Li Zhanhu doubted.

Chen Xuanli didn't answer, and threw away a token, which was indeed the East Palace token.

Li Zhan glanced at Chen Xuanli coldly, ignored him anymore, and led his troops to His Majesty's bedroom.

Although Yao Chong is a courtier, he is in his own mansion no matter what, and when he saw Li Xian and Li Dan being silent like this, he was a little embarrassed, so he had no choice but to say nothing: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, please drink tea!" ”

Yao Chong said this as if he didn't say it, the two of them have been drinking tea since they entered this room, and no one has stopped.

Seeing that Li Xian and Li Dan didn't answer, Yao Chong closed his mouth with interest.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to say to himself: "None of the main masters of the coup are here, I really don't know how they ended!" ”

……

"Why hasn't Huan Yanfan brought the prince here yet?" Zhang Cambodia frowned and muttered.

The East Palace was not far from Wu Zetian's dormitory, and it stands to reason that they should have come a long time ago.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

Zhang Cambodia, Li Duozuo and others entered one after another, and ordered the prison of Tongtian Palace to enter the inner bed to inform Wu Zetian.

In the inner bed, Wu Zetian was already alarmed, and Shangguan Wan'er had also entered the inner bed.

The main gate of Wu Zetian's bed, there are heavy doors, and the sound outside is not easy to come in, but the sound outside is too loud, and the maid on duty at night has reported the change to Wu Zetian.

Now, the Tongtian Palace Eunuch came in tremblingly and fell to his knees.

Wu Zetian was supported by Wan'er, sat up from the bed, and asked solemnly: "Who is making trouble?" ”

The eunuch of the Tongtian Palace lay on the ground and kept kowtowing.

At this time, the door curtain on the front of the inner bed was completely opened, and Zhang Cambodia, Li Duozuo, and Li Zhan entered and saluted Wu Zetian solemnly.

"Are you the ones who are causing the trouble?" Wu Zetian asked solemnly, she had already seen behind the three people, outside the heavy curtain, there were figures and buildings, and the sound of Ge Jia colliding, which naturally meant that the situation was bad and irreparable. However, she was unruly in the face of danger and ignored the prevailing crowds.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Cambodia bowed down and said, "Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong rebelled, and the ministers were ordered by the prince to be punished for two rebellions, for fear of leakage, so they did not dare to predict it. ”

Wu Zetian shuddered from the bottom of his heart, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to adjust his breathing secretly. At this time, from the front portal, another group of people entered.

Zhang Cambodia looked back and saw that it was Huan Yanfan.

I saw Huan Yanfan with an anxious look on his face, and whispered something in Zhang Cambodia's ear.

Zhang Cambodia's face changed greatly when he heard this.

Li Xian was not in the East Palace, Huan Yanfan and his soldiers searched the entire East Palace, but Li Xian was not found. Huan Yanfan asked everyone in the East Palace, and no one knew where Li Xian had gone.

If Lee Hsien doesn't show up, then what is this coup?

The sweat on Zhang Cambodia's head came out, and everything was considered, but he didn't think that Li Xian would suddenly disappear.

At this moment, Princess Taiping appeared in front of Zhang Cambodia.

She said with a solemn expression: "I have already sent Jinghui to invite the Prime Minister!" ”

Zhang Cambodia seemed to suddenly understand that this should be a ghost done by Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping has always wanted to support Li Dan, the prime minister, to ascend the throne, but Zhang Cambodia refused. Li Xian is the crown prince, and he is older than Li Dan, and only Li Xian succeeds to the throne.

Zhang Cambodia glared at Princess Taiping and asked coldly, "Where did you get the prince?" ”

Princess Taiping looked aggrieved: "I really don't know where he went!" ”

Princess Taiping did not tell a lie, according to her plan, she sent someone to take Li Xian away from the East Palace, and then invited Li Dan, the prime minister, to come and preside over the overall situation. Of course, it depends on whether the king cooperates or not, if Li Dan does not cooperate, Princess Taiping has already instructed Jinghui to tie Li Dan up.

Wu Zetian glared at Princess Taiping angrily: "You are also involved in it, such a filial daughter!" ”

Princess Taiping didn't dare to look at Wu Zetian, so she had to turn her head to Zhang Cambodia: "No matter what, you have to solve the matter in front of you first!" ”

Princess Taiping is right, if Li Xian is not there, if Li Dan can come, he can control the scene, at least not like now, it seems that Zhang Cambodia himself is rebelling.

……

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Li Xian and Li Dan, and asked lightly: "It's time for us to end now!" Two Highnesses, have you thought about it? Who will come forward? ”

Who will come forward?

It sounds simple, but it's not. Whoever comes forward will be the future emperor, which means that the two of them have to decide for themselves who will be the emperor.

Li Dan finally spoke, and said very succinctly: "Third brother, go ahead!" ”

Although Li Xian thought that Li Dan would say this, he was still a little surprised, and he sighed in his heart: Maybe I have too much resentment against my fourth brother, and he doesn't want to be the emperor after all.

was going to push back, but when the words came to his mouth, he said another meaning: "I can go, I won't let those people go in the future, you have to think about it!" ”

Li Dan said indifferently: "Third brother, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you have to do, I won't ask!" ”

Li Xian took a deep breath and stood up: "Let's go!" ”

"Your Highness!" Lu Xiaoxian gave Li Xian a deep salute, "The grass people beg you, you must protect them!" ”

Li Xian nodded: "Don't worry, the Zhang brothers are also kind to me, I will leave them alive!" ”
