Three thousand soldiers of the Shence Army surrounded the Sanqing Palace, and two hundred guards withdrew to the hall one after another.

Shouting for the leading general: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

No one responded, and the guards found that the Son of Heaven was gone, and the soldiers of the Shence Army shouted and entered the Sanqing Palace, the guards were outnumbered, and the more they fought, the fewer they fought, and the shouting and killing in the Sanqing Hall gradually disappeared.

Without Dou Xianlai, three of the remaining five guards suddenly rebelled, killed the other two, and kidnapped Li Shi, the son of heaven, to the apse, and Li Shi immediately fainted.

When Li Shi woke up, he found himself lying in a large wooden cage, and several eunuchs led by Song Chaofeng were looking at him coldly.

"It's you!"

Li Shi was furious, he sat up, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his back, he was hit by an arrow during the Jingyuan mutiny, and he injured his muscles and bones, and he never recovered, and when he was taken away, he pulled strongly, and internal injuries burst out.

Li Shi screamed in pain, "Hurry.... Go to the Imperial Doctor! ”

The eunuchs were indifferent, Li Shi's face turned pale with pain, and when he eased up a little, he gasped and said, "I treat you well, why do you ..... Why do you want to hurt me? ”

"Humph! Tell me, why did you go last night? ”

Song Chaofeng's thin voice was extremely cold, Li Shi was speechless, and said in a low voice for a while: "I know it's wrong!" ”

Song Chaofeng chattered and laughed dryly, "Now that it's over, do you think it's possible to turn back?" If we don't strike today, we won't survive tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Song Chaofeng and several other eunuchs glanced at each other, and everyone nodded together.

"Send him on his way!"

Song Chaofeng and the other eunuchs turned around and left expressionlessly, Li Shi got up and grabbed Mu Zha and begged: "I am willing to abdicate, Duke Song, let me go!" ”

"You've already quit once, and no one believes you anymore." Song Chaofeng dropped the last sentence and disappeared.

A dozen strong eunuchs came over with spears in their hands, and only a few screams were heard, and then there was no movement.......

The palace change that occurred in the Sanqing Palace was tightly sealed, the palace was calm as usual, and the six eunuchs had reached a consensus that Li Chun, the son of the former crown prince Li Xu, was the new emperor, he was still a child, and it was relatively easy to control, so Li Yu had to be killed.

At this time, Ju Wenzhen hurriedly ran over and said, "I searched all over the palace, but I didn't find them!" ”

They were Ying Caihe and her more than 200 men, who disappeared from the palace after killing Dou Xianlai.

Everyone looked at each other, what did this female devil want to do?

Song Chaofeng suddenly remembered something, Ying Caihe told himself that he wanted to kill the abolished emperor Li Yi, could it be that she was out of the palace?

"I know, Ying Caihe must have killed Emperor Li Yi."

Huo Xianming frowned, "Will this startle the snake and make the other sect disciples notice something?" ”

Huo Xianming's worries were very reasonable, they planned to frame Ying Cai and assassinate the Son of Heaven, and then gather the children of the clan to collectively agree to make Li Chun the Son of Heaven, which was an extremely crucial part, and they must not let Ying Cai and destroy their plans.

The fifth Shouliang suggested: "Last year, the clan was also notified to enter the palace in advance, so it is better to let them enter the palace now!" ”

Everyone agreed to this method, and Song Chaofeng immediately issued a decree ordering all the children of the clan to enter the palace one hour in advance to prepare.

Chengdu Imperial Palace imitates Taiji Palace and built, next to Sanqing Hall is Taimiao, Taimiao is facing the Xuanwu Gate of the back gate of the Imperial Palace, Xuanwu Gate is located on the central axis of the Imperial Palace, along the central axis to the north is Qingcheng Mountain, there is a mountain in the north for Xuanwu, so the back gate of the Imperial Palace is also named Xuanwu Gate, and the east is Xuanying Gate.

The temple is a group of buildings, in addition to the main hall of worship, there are also bathing and changing clothes, as well as a place to eat and rest.

Originally, it was Shen Shi who opened the Xuanwu Gate and let the children of the sacrificial clan enter the Taimiao, but the Son of Heaven had a decree to change the time of entering the palace to Wei Shizheng, that is, at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The children of the clan received the latest notice from the Son of Heaven, and they all rushed to the Xuanwu Gate from the various squares in the city one after another, all the men of the clan over the age of 14 had to participate in the sacrifice, except for the guilty, at present, only the abolished emperor Li Yi and the former prince Li Yu could not participate in the sacrifice, and the remaining more than 140 children of the clan over the age of 14 gathered outside the Xuanwu Gate, led by Zongzheng Siqing and Xiangwang Li Xu.

There were two emperors in the Tang Dynasty before, one was Li Wei, the king of Peng, and the other was Li Xu, the king of Xiang, Li Zhichan gave the throne to Zhu Zhu, and was named the king of wealth, but he died of illness in less than half a year, and the emperor's uncle is now only left with Li Xu, the king of Xiang. Although the crown prince Li Qian was also in the ranks, the sacrifice to the Taimiao was to respect the elders, and Li Qian must also obey the arrangement of the emperor's uncle Li Xuan.

"When the time comes, open the Xuanwu Gate!"

Li Xuan shouted, and the Xuanwu Gate slowly opened.

"Queue into the palace!"

Li Yu shouted again, and he led more than 140 sect disciples to enter the Xuanwu Gate, pass through the Taimiao Square, and walk towards the Taimiao Temple hundreds of steps away.

At this time, countless guards suddenly appeared on both sides, and Li Yan glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, the accident happened, and two hundred and fifty guards raised their crossbows at the same time, and the dense crossbow arrows shot towards the children of the clan.

The screams in the square suddenly rose, and a large number of people fell to the ground in an instant, and there was no need to shoot the second round, Ying Caihe shouted, "Kill them all!" ”

The guards threw away their crossbows and raised their spears to kill them from both sides, and the children of the clan cried and screamed, and there was no way to escape, and they were killed in droves.......

Prince Li Qian was hit by an arrow in the back, he struggled to get up, but was rushed forward by a guard, the sharp tip of the spear pierced the back of his heart, Prince Li Qian screamed, and died instantly.

This is the second secret mission that Guo Song gave to Ying Caihe, the slaughter of the Li Tang clan in Chengdu, God knows, only the two of them know, the soldiers all thought that the eunuch group launched a coup d'état and issued an order, and their task was to help the eunuch group succeed in the coup.

The soldiers guarding the Xuanwu Gate were all stunned, and none of the twenty soldiers dared to step forward, watching as all the children of the clan were killed.

In less than a tea time, more than 140 sect disciples were all killed, Ying Caihe led everyone to evacuate from Xuanying Gate, and left the palace along the original path through the forbidden garden.

The soldiers of Xuanwumen reacted at this time, and ran to report in panic, when Song Chaofeng's group of eunuchs heard the news and rushed over, the square was full of corpses, rivers of blood, and there was no one alive.

A group of eunuchs looked at each other, so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

"Chao Weng, this.... How is this good? The fifth Shouliang asked in a trembling voice.

Song Chaofeng gritted his teeth and said: "That damn female devil, you must cut her with a thousand knives if you catch her!" ”

Huo Xianming was quite calm, he pondered for a moment and said: "Chao Weng, no matter what, we must first block the news and relieve the trouble, otherwise we will all have no place to die." ”

Song Chaofeng nodded, the enemy's army is the big problem.

..........

Chengdu currently has a total of four armies, including 30,000 Shence troops, 5,000 palace guards, 10,000 city gate troops, and 20,000 Jiannan troops.

The five thousand palace guards are led by the general of Qianniuwei, Dugu Dashi, this is the least worrying army, most of these guards are the children of powerful and wealthy families, pampered, and look majestic on the surface, but in fact, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are vulnerable.

When the 10,000 Shence army entered the palace, the guards fled or surrendered one after another, and Dugu Dashi was also captured and detained by the Shence army.

Huo Xianming personally led 2,000 Shence troops to surround the Dou Mansion, brought more than 200 people from the Dou family back to the palace, and threatened the lives of the Dou family, forcing Dou Wen, the general of the prison guards, to cooperate.

Although there was only a small-scale operation in the city, the atmosphere was still tense, and the mansions of Prime Minister Jang Yeon-sun and Choi Zao also entered the Shence Army, monitoring the two prime ministers, and no one in the mansion was allowed to go out.

As soon as the sky was dark, the eunuch Ju Wenzhen led the three hundred divine troops to the Abolished King's Mansion, but heard a cry in the mansion, Ju Wenzhen was shocked and led the army to rush into the mansion, but saw more than a dozen guards in charge of monitoring the abolished King Li Yi standing in front of the gate in panic, at a loss.

"What's going on?" Ju Wenzhen asked sharply.

One of the guards trembled and said, "Half an hour ago, the deposed king was pierced through the chest by a poisonous arrow, and he has ..... Already dead, who does not know who the murderer is? ”

Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a while, they still wanted to let the abolished king Li Yi come forward to appease the situation, but they didn't expect to be a step slower, and they were preemptively attacked by Ying Caihe, Ju Wenzhen was so angry that he scolded Ying Caihe for being ruthless, but he had no choice but to go back to the palace to report.

At this time, news also came from the mansion of the deposed prince Li Yu that Li Yu had been shot by the assassin with a poisoned arrow.
