In the past few days, there have been rumors outside, saying that Erzhang is rebelling. It is also rumored that His Majesty is seriously ill, and there are only two Zhang waiting by his side, and the two Zhang will take advantage of His Majesty's impulse to coma and make an edict to pass on Zhang Changzong......

The Zhang brothers simply said that it was true that the two brothers lived in luxury, but they had no ambition to usurp the throne.

The two of them are very self-aware, and the usurpation of the throne requires the cooperation of the Yulin Army, not to mention that they have nothing to do with the Yulin Army at all. Even if the usurpation succeeded, they would not be able to secure the position of emperor.

Princess Taiping, Zhang Cambodia, Li Duozuo and others had frequent activities, which made the Zhang brothers very frightened. Although Wu Zetian covers them, Wu Zetian's body is not as good as day by day, if Wu Zetian dies one day, where will they go?

What to do, I can only discuss with Lu Xiaoxian.

"What? Leave Luoyang and go to Fanyang to be a rich man? Zhang Changzong asked unwillingly, "Why?" ”

"To save your life!" Lu Xiaoxian persuaded a wise man, "The two masters have offended too many people, if Your Majesty dies one day, those people want your lives!" When the crown prince ascends the throne, I will try to get you to leave. ”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yizhi nodded and said, "The two of us listen to you, you won't harm us!" ”

There are some things, once you figure it out, your heart will be at ease. Just like now, the brothers have obeyed Lu Xiaoxian's arrangement, at least they are no longer as panicked as before.

……

In the past, when Princess Taiping went out, whether she was in a car, a sedan chair, or a horse, she was always slow and leisurely, not in a hurry, and lingered all the way, looking east and west.

But today, after she got in the car, she kept shouting. The sound of hurried horses' hooves shattered Luoyang's quiet early morning.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the residence of Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia.

Zhang Cambodia, who had just gotten up, heard that Princess Taiping was visiting, so he hurriedly opened the middle door and went out to greet him in person.

Princess Taiping and Zhang Cambodia entered the middle hall, sat down and said: "I came to the door early in the morning, disturbed the dream of the old man, it is very disrespectful, just because the matter is urgent, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Cambodia said very enthusiastically: "Her Royal Highness the princess came to our mansion and failed to greet her, which is very rude, and I still ask the princess to forgive her sins." I don't know what to teach today? ”

When he saw that Princess Taiping wanted to speak and stopped, he immediately retreated.

Princess Taiping and Zhang Cambodia had a secret conversation for half an hour, and then Princess Taiping said goodbye to Zhang Cambodia and strode out of the living room.

Zhang Cambodia looked at the back of Princess Taiping and said loudly: "Please let go of Your Highness, for the foundation of the imperial court and the safety of the society, Zhang Mou will never give up." ”

Princess Taiping just nodded, but turned around, walked out of the gate quickly, got into the car and left.

Coming out of Zhang Cambodia's place, Princess Taiping came to the second stop: Xiangwang's Mansion.

The trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion was very unsmooth, and no matter how Princess Taiping persuaded her, the Prime Minister did not agree to participate in the coup d'état, and was not even willing to cooperate. Although Princess Taiping was annoyed, she didn't care too much.

Since Princess Taiping can launch a mutiny to force the palace, she has a way to make King Xiang compromise. When it really comes to that moment, it is not a question of whether King Xiang is willing or not.

……

In the spring rain, the Xuanwu Gate was deserted, and the guards in oilcloth canopies stood numbly on the city walls.

The rain caused a white mist to evaporate in the square outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Duozuo, the general of the right feather forest, rode out of the Xuanwu Gate, the canopy hung down, and the guards only recognized the chief from the emblem in front of the car, and they cheered up and saluted the car.

The vehicle did not stop, quickly disappearing into the rain of the square.

Soon, Zuo Yulin's general Li Zhan's car also left Xuanwu Gate.

However, in the Great General's Mansion of the Forbidden Army in the Xuanwu Gate, Li Duozuo, the general of the right Yulin, and Li Zhan, the general of the left Yulin Wei, were together! Although their car hung the official badge and officially left the city gate, their people kept it.

The heavy rain made it easy for them to hide their whereabouts.

Among the two cars that left Xuanwu Gate, one carried the first and auxiliary prime minister Zhang Cambodia, and the other carried another prime minister, Cui Xuanwei.

The two of them entered privately in the rain in the vehicle of Yulin General Jinghui, and now, they borrowed the general and general of the Yulin Army to go out privately.

In the military palace, there was silence, and the guards in front of the door hung signs according to the rules, which meant that the general had come out, and no one was allowed to trespass.

In the secret room, Li Duozuo and Li Zhan faced each other silently, they seemed to be waiting for something!

Soon, Li Zhan asked in a low voice: "Approximately, I left the forbidden area safely." ”

Li Duozuo nodded, but did not speak.

"It's been quiet these days, and I don't think anything will happen." Li Zhan's palms were sweaty, and it was obvious that he was nervous about the current situation.

"I think so." Li Duozuo sighed slightly, glanced at the copper kettle, and said, "According to the time calculation, it should be out of the outer forbidden area, and it may have turned from North Straight Road to East Street." ”

So, Li Zhan also moved his eyes to the copper kettle dripping.

At that moment, there was a knock on the inner door. Li Duozuo stood up and went to open the door himself.

It was Yulin General Jinghui who entered, and although it was a cold day in early spring, he still had sweat on his forehead.

"Are you alright?" Li Duozuo asked, but his voice trembled slightly. 14

"Get out of the forbidden area safely, I saw them enter the North Straight Road with two cars." Jing Hui sighed, "When I was delayed a little, Wu Youyi suddenly came to the city and gave him a few perfunctory words. ”

Now, the three people in the military government feel relieved that Zhang Khan Zhi and Cui Xuanwei went out safely. Naturally, this is only a temporary ease, and their real hardships are still in the future......

"We're going to get everything ready." Li Duozuo said in a low voice, "Elder Zhang Ge has already made all the arrangements outside, the opportunity is fleeting, Your Majesty's body is better today than yesterday, it seems that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will officially govern things." ”

"General!" Li Zhan asked in a dark voice, "Is it tonight?" ”

"I don't know, but we'll be dispatched at any time to get there in half an hour."

"Hmm!" Li Zhan's palms were sweating more and more, and he asked sneeringly, "In the palace, there is no news yet?" ”

"Inner palace news, we don't have to wait." Li Duozuo smiled faintly, "Chen Xuanli is on duty at the right yamen, turn around, you go and tell him about the matter here, ask him to prepare, and ask him to come here at dusk."

Chen Xuanli is General Yulin, and he is a subordinate who has been with Li Duozuo for a long time, and Li Duozuo certainly trusts him.

"General, how long will it take for our car to return? If the rain stops......" Li Zhan is still nervous.

"Don't be afraid," Li Duozuo said with a smile, "I estimate that Wu Youyi will also go back, and he will also leave when he learns that the two of us are in the same house." ”

"Have we been hiding here? Besides, when the rain stops, you can't ride......"

"It's okay if the rain stops, who will check our car, and after dusk, our car will be back." Li Duozuo smiled, "You're too nervous. ”

Li Duozuo and Li Zhan didn't expect that while they were talking, Chen Xuanli's carriage also drove out of the imperial city from the East Palace.

……

It was dusk, and the heavy rain stopped.

In Zhang Cambodia's mansion, Yuan Shuji and others were together, they drank and talked, waiting for time.

Dusk in the rain came especially early, and their room was lit up.

Zhang Cambodia half closed his eyes and sat against the wall, as if he was recuperating and imagining something.

Time seems to have frozen.

Soon, Cui Xuanhui sent Zhu Jingze, a member of the treasury department, to arrive and report directly, he reported: "Cui Ge Lao has set off for Nanya, and his order is to report to the minister." ”

Zhang Cambodia's eyes widened and he stood up awkwardly.

"Jing Ze, are you here in General Yulin's car?"

"Yes, Elder Cui Ge ordered so."

"That's it!" Zhang Cambodia threw his hand to everyone, "I hope that the first emperor will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, and the emperor will be restored tonight." ”

Everyone in the room stood up and bowed their hands in silent prayer.

"Now, we're in two cars, and we're all huddled together, and we can't make a sound." When Zhang Cambodia said, he took the lead out of the door.

Two carriages of the forbidden army were parked in the courtyard, and the royal drivers were the two captains of the Yulin Army.

The group squeezed into the carriage and lowered the tarpaulin curtain.

So, the courtyard gate opened, and the two cars slowly galloped out, passing through the gate of Dongfang, and galloped towards Xuanwu Gate.

……

Yao Chong's mansion has a new look, in order to renovate Yao Chong's mansion, Lu Xiaoxian personally did it, and it took three months to finally complete it.

At the beginning, Yao Chong didn't understand why Lu Xiaoxian wanted to build a dark room, but it wasn't until today that the dark room came in handy, and he suddenly realized.

At this moment, the four people in the dark room sat facing each other, but no one spoke.

No one knew that the crown prince Li Xian had secretly left the East Palace and hid in the dark room of the Yao Mansion. Thanks to Chen Xuanli, without his carriage, Li Xian would not have been able to come out of the East Palace at all.

It is relatively easy for Xiangwang Li Dan to leave the house, but it is really not easy for people to know it, and it took Lu Xiaoxian a lot of thought.

Li Xian and Li Dan are obviously real brothers-in-law, but their feelings are very alienated and indifferent.

What kind of brother is this, what kind of relatives is this?

In fact, this is also to blame them, who let them be born in the emperor's family!

If it is in an ordinary family, no matter how big the disagreement, it will not be a brother.

What Li Dan wants in his life is nothing more than freedom and tranquility, and he has no ambition for the throne at all, if it weren't for this, he would not take the initiative to give up the position of crown prince to Li Xian.

It's a pity that Li Dan's thoughts are his own after all. Li Xian was at the center of the power struggle, and he was very worried that if he could not be the emperor in the future, he would be liquidated by his younger brother Li Dan.

From ancient times to the present, such cruel realities have been played out constantly. For example, the young King Yingzheng of Qin threw his half-brother to death, and Qin II forced Fusu to kill and then slaughtered his brothers and sisters. A generation of Ming monarch Tang Taizong could not escape this law, and the Xuanwumen Revolution killed his own brother and forced his father to cede the throne to himself in advance.

Even if Li Dan doesn't want to be the emperor, but those court ministers will also stand in advance in order to win the trust of the future emperor in the future, so Li Dan may be coerced by these people to fight with Li Xian, the coup d'état that is happening in the palace at the moment, isn't it a living example?
