Chapter 351: Breaking the East Palace

Taiji Palace, on the upper floor of Changle Gate City.

In front of you is the Imperial City Hengjie, a street that connects the Taiji Palace and the East Palace in parallel. Qin Mubai took off his flat clothes under the service of the two pawns, and was fully clothed, at this time, he had just coiled his hair and was putting on his helmet and tying the unicorn robe and cape.

Li Daozong stood beside him with a solemn expression with his hands on his back, squinting slightly at the vast Chang'an Lifang Market and the rows of majestic and glorious palaces, and said, "Zhennai, eventful. ”

Qin Mubai handed over the sword of the Son of Heaven to the guards and hundred horsemen on the side, hung up the Guiyi knife that Li Daozong had given him before, stepped forward and stood beside Li Daozong, and said, "Your Majesty has a premeditated plan? ”

Li Daozong did not answer, but said: "There are two things that I want to remind you. ”

"Lord Wang, please speak."

"First, no matter who it is, you must not kill in vain." Li Daozong said, "Including, Li Yuanchang." ”

"I know that." Qin Mubai nodded. This was not an ordinary, simple military mutiny, but an armed rebellion forced out after the political struggle had become irreconcilable. In the end, such incidents must be resolved through political means. Light kills, but does not solve the root problem. Moreover, killing too many people at this time is not good for anyone.

Especially, Qin Mubai.

If this hand is stained with the blood of the royal family, no matter who it is, it will be a stain and a hidden danger after all. Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian are already dogs in the water, and sooner or later they will die. Qin Mubai is also very calm, why should he be a vain hero at such a time and beat this water dog in front of the dog's owner?

Just let it drown alive in the torrent of politics.

"Second, there is one person you should pay special attention to." Li Daozong said.

"Who?"

"The city gate lang who is stationed in the Nanya to mention the nine gates, the eldest grandson." Li Daozong's voice was quite small, but his expression was very serious, and he said, "Originally, he should have been in the same group as the crown prince and Li Yuanchang. However, in recent days, perhaps the eldest grandson Wuji found out, and almost tied up the eldest grandson, isolated him from the prince and others, and ordered him not to get too close to the prince and others. However, at this moment, Changsun Jian is still stationed at the nine gates of Chang'an. If he responds to Li Yuanchang's mutiny at this time and closes the nine gates of Chang'an, we will all be turtles in the urn. ”

Qin Mubai's heart tightened, he wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and said, "Since the prince has expected it, he should have been prepared." ”

Li Daozong pondered for a moment and said, "You don't ask about this. Although the eldest grandson is the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, at this time, it is a matter of life and death, and it is normal for father and son to fight. So, you have to be careful. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. If the eldest grandson really jumped over the wall in a hurry to break the net and close the nine gates of Chang'an in response to Li Yuanchang's rebellion, it would be a disaster that would affect the entire Chang'an! ”

After listening to this, Qin Mubai nodded quietly and said nothing.

Although Li Daozong's words were scary enough, Qin Mubai was not stupid at all. is as smart as Li Daozong, and he holds the emperor's sword of heaven in his hand, and it is obvious that all these things are planned by the "sick" Li Shimin.

The reason why Li Daozong has not touched the eldest grandson at all until now is because it is for the sake of the eldest grandson Wuji's face. In other words, it was Li Shimin who looked at the face of the eldest grandson Wuji and had a special advice.

Of course, thinking about it the other way, Li Shimin and Li Daozong are both old and stable politicians, and they will not regard the safety of Chang'an and the empire as lighter than someone's face. It is not hard to imagine that they must have been prepared. Even if the eldest grandson is looking for a dead end and follows Li Yuanchang to jump into the fire kang and rebel, it will be a dead end.

The loaches in the gutter, in front of the two old dragon kings, Li Shimin and Li Daozong, can't make waves.

Inside the Changle Gate, the soldiers and horses of the Zhuwei Imperial Forest Army are nervously assembling and mobilizing. It won't take long to get it straight. Whether it was Li Yuanchang who came to kill him, or Qin Mubai who led the army into the East Palace to capture the thief and capture the king, at most, it only took an hour to work, and everything was settled.

At this time, three women walked up to the city gate, and walked among a group of men in gold armor and red robes.

"Is that you?" Qin Mubai glanced at them sideways, it was Su Lianqing and the sisters of Lantai, so he said to them, "What are you doing here?" ”、

"I've seen General Qin." Many bystanders were present, and Su Lianqing didn't dare to lose her courtesy, the three girls gave a salute together, and said, "The three of us were employed by the general, and the previous affairs have been settled, and now of course we can only return to the general's side and wait for the reprimand." ”

"Go home and protect my family." Qin Mubai said.

"The imperial city has been closed, and there is no way out at this time." Su Lianqing said.

"Alright then, stay with me for now." Qin Mubai raised his hand, "Give them the blade." ”

"The two sisters use swords, and the old lady uses the blade." Su Lianqing still smiled hippie.

Qin Mubai glared at her: "The Imperial City, among the military, Zhuang Focus!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Su Lian straightened her face, followed the appearance of those soldiers, and stood up straight. If you have a hundred cavalry soldiers, you can't help but want to laugh.

At this time, a horse rushed from the side street, stopped in front of Changle Gate, and shouted upstairs: "Report to the prince, General Qin!" There is something wrong with the Suzaku Gate! ”

"What?" Qin Mubai asked, "Could it be that the rebels killed it?" ”

"It's not." The messenger replied loudly, "It's the Wei Guogong Li Yaoshi, and the Zhonglang general Su Dingfang, the two of them sat down in front of the closed Suzaku Gate with a chessboard, and played a game of tea. I didn't dare to ask more, and Wei Guogong didn't say much, just sat there and played chess, attracting many onlookers from the people of Chang'an. ”

"Oh?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised and amused, "My old teacher, what does this mean?" Did he want to sit there and scare off the rebels? ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Li Daozong laughed, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "That stinky eldest grandson, if he hears that the military god Li Yaoshi is blocking the Suzaku Gate, he still dares to rebel?" That's not self-defeating! No matter how tightly he closed the gate of Chang'an City and how many soldiers and horses he brought to come, when those people saw Pharmacist Li, they didn't recognize his eldest grandson in an instant, but would cut his eldest grandson into meat paste and present it to Wei Guogong as a greeting gift. ”

"Who, Li Jing?" Su Lianqing said in surprise, "This old man, so powerful?" ”

"You're tired of living!" Qin Mubai snorted, "Dare to be disrespectful to my teacher? ”

Su Lianqing stuck out her tongue in surprise, and the Lantai sisters hurriedly pulled her to the back and whispered: "Sister Su, this kind of occasion is not more than usual, you can live a little longer if you say a few words, think about it yourself!" ”

"Don't worry about Wei Guogong. Open the gates of Suzaku Castle and evacuate the crowd to serve tea. Qin Mubai ordered the messenger downstairs, "Wei Guogong and Su Dingfang will play chess for a moment, and you will serve for a moment, and there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes!"

"Huh!" Li Daozong laughed heartily and said, "I still have these old bones of the founding of the Tang Dynasty that have not died, and there are also sons and daughters of the founding fathers like you, rising stars who can be used as pillars, how can those clowns who jump off the beam turn the sky?" Pity that prince, ridiculous Li Yuanchang, hey ......"

"Report to the prince, general, the hundred cavalry horses have been assembled, please give an order!" Cheng Huaibi, the deputy envoy of the hundred horses, came forward to report.

Li Daozong still cut his hands behind his back and said to Qin Mubai: "Go!" Things have to be worked out. Just block Li Yuanchang in the East Palace, strike first, and if you can reduce the disaster, it will be counted as one point. ”

"Okay, Qin will go first." Qin Mubai arched his hand to Li Daozong, instructed Cheng Huaibi to stay here to guard the palace gate, and took Su Lianqing's three daughters down the platform and rode on a war horse.

The Guiyi knife was unsheathed, and Qin Mubai rode his horse and shouted: "Hundred horsemen listen to orders!" Target, East Palace! Capture Li Yuanchang alive and pacify the rebellious party! Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will be killed! ”

"No!"

Three hundred horsemen, mighty and majestic.

Above the city tower, Li Daozong stared at it and sighed: "Three hundred horsemen, not losing thirty thousand lions!" How many rebels are there in Rauna East Palace? At most, it is two or three thousand people at the sixth rate of the East Palace. Although it is several times that of Qin Mubai, it will be vulnerable! ”

At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the training gate in the far west direction, and the battle began.

"Li Yuanchang, he is really stubborn and doesn't know death, he really dares to take the lead." Li Daozong gritted his teeth and yelled at the downstairs of the city: "Mu Bai, the bottom of the kettle will be attacked before and after, and it will go straight to the East Palace!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Mubai shouted, "Baiqi, come with me!" ”

The gate of Changle Palace was opened, the iron horse galloped, and Qin Mubai rode out. Behind him, three hundred horsemen followed closely. Iron hooves trampled on the brick roads of the imperial city, and it sounded.

Li Daozong squinted his eyes at the soldiers at the two city gates, listened to the sound of people shouting and fighting horses, and said angrily: "At the last moment, the crown prince Chengqian still had a trace of conscience to discover, and took the initiative to tell the detailed steps of his conspiration with Li Yuanchang to rebel against the party. At this time, he picked up a life for himself. Hey, he's the prince, it's the end. How will you spend the next half of your life? ”

Cheng Huaibi next to him said: "Lord Wang, in fact, the last general thinks that the prince may not be really bad. The really bad one is Li Yuanchang! Many bad things were done by the prince under the hoodwink and instigation of Li Yuanchang. Previously, the crown prince was also a benevolent and capable prince. It was only after being with Li Yuanchang for a long time that it gradually became like this. Li Yuanchang should be killed! ”

Li Daozong didn't speak for a long time, sighed, and said, "Then have you ever thought about why Li Yuanchang didn't go to harm other princes?" His body is upright, and he does not give orders; His body is not right, although he does not obey orders. On the other hand, if it weren't for the prince's loss of morality and dishonesty, how could Li Yuanchang dare to drag him into the water? The so-called smelly like-minded, flies do not stare at seamless eggs. ”

"Hey, that's right......" Cheng Huaibi also shook his head and sighed.

"However, the crown prince is indeed not a great evil person. The reason why he has come to this day is mostly because he was forced. When Li Daozong said this, he quietly stopped and stopped talking.

Cheng Huaibi didn't dare to ask again.

Is it difficult to ask clearly, who forced it?

Half is the emperor, half is the king of Wei, everyone knows this. As the prince of the country, Li Chengqian, the eldest son, has a long way to go, and has shouldered the mission and burden entrusted to him by the imperial family and the empire from the beginning. His childhood, adolescence, and youth were spent under such pressure.

In addition, he has an extremely strong and excellent father. At all times, people can't help but compare him to his father.

Under the fame, it is actually difficult to match.

Li Chengqian, who grew up in this environment, will only go to extremes. Either they are very virtuous and brilliant, or geniuses will also degenerate into waste under pressure.

Li Chengqian turned the latter into a thing.

He is a tragedy, perhaps destined for this fate from the time he was born. As Cheng Huaibi said, Li Chengqian in the past was also very good and outstanding. It's just that as he grew older, the pressure increased day by day, and with the stubbornness of the fourth Wei king, he finally couldn't bear the heavy pressure, and began to go to the extremes and decadence of the sword, breaking the jar and breaking it, and went to this extreme.

Li Yuanchang is just a "help" for him to perish, a kick at the door, not a decisive factor.

These things are clear to many people. But Li Chengqian may not think clearly.

So above the court today, Li Zhi, who is only half the eldest son, shed tears because of Li Chengqian; The eldest grandson Wuji lamented his misfortune and was angry, and Li Daozong's reprimand was also half pity and sympathy.

and Li Shimin, who has been hiding in the ward, he doesn't want to come forward and see such a situation with his own eyes. Isn't his heart like a knife?

……

Qin Mubai raised his knife and went straight to the Chongming Gate of the East Palace.

The gate of Chongming Gate actually opened, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the inside.

One of the leading generals, Qin Mubai recognized. Li Anyan, the general of Zuotun Wei, once served briefly in the Hundred Cavalry, but was later transferred out of the position and settled in Zuo Tunwei. This matter was handled by Qin Mubai himself. It is not difficult to imagine that Li Anyan hated Qin Mubai at that time. Today, he rebelled against Li Yuanchang as the general of Zuotun Wei Zhonglang, and the first person to look at him was the former enemy Qin Mubai, who was extremely red-eyed.

"Kill! - "Li Anyan is a real battlefield general, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been transferred to the hundred cavalry. He didn't say hello either, and stabbed Qin Mubai head-on with a roar.

Qin Mubai's eyes narrowed, his skills that had not been active for a long time were still vigorous and sharp, and he opened Li Anyan's stabbing spear head-on, and stepped out of his waist ribs as he crossed the horse.

In such a moment of lightning, a judgment is made!

Li Anyan was hit by a kick and fell unsteadily on the galloping horse, and the hundred cavalry who followed up shot him through the throat. The gun was quickly pulled out without blood, and Li Anyan's eyes were the size of copper bells, and he watched countless horses' hooves trample past him, his eyes exploded, and his body instantly blurred with flesh and blood.

The main general was killed in a moment, and the rebels in the East Palace were suddenly scattered. Originally, they weren't elite divisions. These soldiers and horses are at most only the honor guard driven by the prince on weekdays, and few of them have actually been on the battlefield and killed people and seen blood. Facing the hundred cavalry troops of the king of soldiers, it is tantamount to a group of lambs facing hungry tigers descending from the mountain.

Qin Mubai led a hundred horsemen, like a bamboo, like entering a no-man's land!

In the blink of an eye, the Chongming Gate was broken, and the corpses were all over the field along the way, and more than 100 corpses had been added to the ground, but none of them were 100 horses.

The rebels in the East Palace, their souls were scattered, and they no longer had the intention of fighting, and fled in all directions as birds and beasts.

Qin Mubai led his army into the East Palace until the main hall of the East Palace, Mingde Hall, and never encountered any strong resistance. He left dozens of people to search the palace to arrest the rebels, and then personally led the rest of the people to the Tongxun Gate where the East Palace and the Taiji Palace are connected.

There are quite a few soldiers and horses here.

Just now, Li Anyan led about seven or eight hundred soldiers and horses to kill out of the Mingzhong Gate, intending to attack Changle Gate and respond to the Tongxun Gate from afar. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Qin Mubai, a big evil star, and was instantly killed, lost his armor and collapsed. The soldiers and horses who responded and responded along the way were defeated, and the rebels of the East Palace here in Tongxunmen were turned into turtles in the urn by the enemy.

The chief general of the Tongxunmen rebels is none other than Li Yuanchang, the king of Han.

He is just a gentleman, not to mention killing the enemy in battle, or he has never done anything like blood on his head. At present, seeing the soldiers and horses led by the six Donggong who attacked the Mingxun Gate, and the many casualties were caused by the attack of the Imperial Forest Army who were struggling to defend the city, Li Yuanchang's heart was shocked.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of shouting and killing behind him, and a biao iron horse rushed like a torrent of steel, Li Yuanchang was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground from his horse, and exclaimed loudly: "Who, whose soldiers and horses are that!" ”

"Lord Wang, that's a hundred horses! Hundred Rides! ”

"What, Hundred Riders?!" Li Yuanchang's eyes suddenly cracked!

The might and power of the hundred horses are terrifying for one reason, and the other reason is precisely because of ...... Since the emperor's relatives and guards have all come to participate in the war, it shows that the emperor is suppressing this rebellion!

"It's over, it's over...... Li Shimin, a treacherous villain, will definitely deceive! Li Yuanchang's face was white, his whole body trembled, and his eyes were straight.

"King, lord! It's Qin Mubai, a hundred horsemen led by Qin Mubai! The sixth general of the East Palace beside him shouted in panic.

"Whoever he is, kill me, kill me! Rush up and kill him! Li Yuanchang was already about to collapse in despair, evil was born from the side of his guts, but he had no fear, he actually pulled out his knife and danced like crazy, letting the generals around him rush back to fight against Qin Mubai and Baiqi.

There were many generals in the East Palace, and as soon as they gritted their teeth, they really roared and rushed over.

Qin Mubai sighed in a deep voice: "Capture the thief and capture the king!" ”

The knife fell in his hand, and a person flew into the sky, the horse neighed, and the blood spurted like a pillar!

"Give it to the old lady!" With a coquettish reprimand, a strange glow flashed in mid-air, and Su Lianqing flew up from the mount like a ghost, stepping on the mounts and armor of the hundred horsemen and rebels, and actually ran towards Li Yuanchang.

"Enchantress! Sure enough, it's you! Li Yuanchang shouted angrily and anxiously, and the horizontal knife in his hand flew wildly.

"Thief, don't be bound yet!" Su Lianqing was as light as nothing, and jumped up with a volley, and with a wave of hands, a large ball of fan powder sprinkled on Li Yuanchang's face.

Li Yuanchang suddenly became like a singing face-dresser, Hua Dan looked drugged, turned over without half a struggle, dismounted and fell to the ground.

At this time, the rebels around Li Yuanchang reacted and rushed up to rob Li Yuanchang to kill Su Lianqing.

Su Lianqing shouted: "Ouch, it's not good, the old lady is finished!" ”

Just run and jump around!

Qin Mubai was fighting in the battle, and saw Su Lianqing being chased and killed by a group of soldiers from a distance, he was angry and funny, he rushed forward with a shout, killed a bloody path in the enemy army of the other party, and shouted: "Sister Lantai, save her!" ”

"Yes!" The two sisters obeyed the order and rose from their horses. The two swords made the body cold, and with the tacit cooperation of the twins, they quickly killed a way in the chaotic army and rescued Su Lianqing from the encirclement.

Li Yuanchang was sprinkled with drugs on his face, and the left and right generals slapped his face swollen and couldn't wake people up, and they complained bitterly.

At this time, the door of the training gate was suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers and horses fought fiercely, and the general headed by was another deputy envoy of the hundred horses, Wei Chi Baoyun. He rode a big black horse, wielding the same iron whip as his father, and his tall and majestic body was unusually eye-catching. One horse is the first to kill into the enemy, like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

He was followed by a team of 100 horsemen and nearly 1,000 Jinwuwei Imperial Forest Army.

The momentum of the front and rear attacks was lost, Li Yuanchang's defeated army was like a mountain, and there was no suspense in the battle.

An hour later, the shouts that shook Chang'an returned to silence.

A strong smell of blood wafted from the East Palace, and corpses could be seen everywhere. Many of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs and others were all enclosed together and guarded by the hundred horsemen, all of them were silent, and occasionally some people cried in fear.

Qin Mubai rode a horse and slowly walked between the hundred cavalry soldiers and the corpses of the captives. The Tantai sisters walked over together, bowed to their arched swords, and said, "General, our sisters have captured Li Yuanchang." He was unconscious, but there was not a single scar on his body. Although our sisters hated this thief, they did not get the general's order and did not touch a single hair of him. ”

"Very good, hard work." Qin Mubai blinked his eyes and glanced around, and asked, "What about Su Lianqing?" ”

The two sisters couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice: "Sister Su fought for a while and shouted hot, and hid on the roof of the Mingde Hall to enjoy the coolness." ”

"How can it be?" Qin Mubai was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted in a low voice, "Tell her to come down, otherwise she will be killed!" ”

The sisters hurried away. Yu Chi Baoyun patted his horse and bowed his hand, and said, "General Qin, everything is over, and the last general is sending someone to count the battlefield." The thief chief Li Yuanchang was captured alive and sent by General Qin. ”

"Good. The matter here is handled by the Lao Weichi brothers. Li Yuanchang, handed it over to Ben to take back. Qin Mubai said.

Yu Chi Baoyun hugged a fist, raised his hand, and the pawn led a horse over, and the unconscious Li Yuanchang was tied up firmly and pressed on the saddle like a sack.

Qin Mubai glanced at him, called a few henchmen to accompany him with Li Yuanchang, and entered the Taiji Palace from the Tongxun Gate. At this time, Su Lianqing and the other three daughters also followed. The group avoided the many soldiers and turned into a secluded palace alley.

"Su Lianqing, how did you wake him up?" Qin Mubai asked.

Su Lianqing smiled: "It's simple, use a big bucket of water to pour him, and pour him to drink a lot of water, and he will wake up in less than an hour." ”

"Is there anything faster?"

"Give him pee." Su Lianqing crossed her hands and hugged her chest, smiling evilly.

Everyone laughed, but Qin Mubai didn't laugh, but said with a straight face: "In the future, I will only say good ways, and the rotten methods that waste time will be mentioned-you guys, what are you waiting for?" ”

The hundreds of cavalry soldiers couldn't help but pout their faces with laughter, and muttered: "General, I just fought for a while, but there was sweat, urine, really no." ”

"If you don't have it, you have to have it, and don't talk nonsense." Qin Mubai shouted, "Drag him to a quiet place and wake him up." Otherwise, it's not fun at all. ”

"Yes......" The pawns had no choice but to comply, lifted Li Yuanchang and moved him to a quiet place, and argued in a whisper.

"it, haven't you been on fire lately?"

"Phew! Yours is still a child's pee! You're on! ”

"I didn't!"

"Didn't the general say it, if you don't have it, you have to have it! You don't need a woman and you can't pee, so what's the use of that thing? This little thing can't be done, just castrate! ”
