On the seventh day of the first month of the second year of Yonglong, the heavy snow finally stopped completely, the dense dark clouds dispersed, the sun that had not been seen for many days hung high in the sky, sprinkled the warm sunlight to the earth, how could people who had been holding back in the house for more than half a month be able to withstand the temptation of such warmth, and they took to the streets, and the Luoyang City, which was originally a little dead and silent, was revived, full of singing and laughter, a harmonious atmosphere, and the East Palace was no exception, not only the princes and concubines were playing with their children under the sun, A group of eunuchs and palace ladies who have been idle are also enjoying the rare warmth in this winter, but in the study there is a depressing dead silence, Zhang and Di The two strategists sit opposite each other, but they have no words, and the expressions on their faces are the same solemnity and worry.

"See Your Highness!"

In a burst of footsteps from far and near, Li Xian, who was solemn, had already walked into the room, and Zhang and Di, who were sitting upright, did not dare to slack off, so they got up and paid their respects.

"Excuse me, please sit down."

Li Xian's spirit was obviously not very good, and after he walked straight to the top and sat down, he gave a flat command.

"Your Highness, but you haven't been able to see Your Majesty?"

After Di Renjie thanked him, he sat down expressionlessly, but Zhang Cambodia didn't, glanced at Li Xian with a frown, and asked tentatively.

"Hmm."

This is the eighth day in a row that Li Xian has been closed, whether it is morning and dusk, or on official grounds, they have all been blocked without exception, which makes Li Xian, who wants to see his old father for the last time, extremely annoyed, but he can't have a seizure, so he can only be secretly sad.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and everything must be done in a serious matter,"

Zhang Cambodia knows Li Xian's psychology very well, but it is really difficult for others to enlighten about this matter, no matter how high Zhang Cambodia's intelligence is, in the face of this situation, he can only say a few words of comfort that are not very nutritious.

"Well, is there any update from the 'Ming Di'?"

Li Xianyuan is an extremely rational person, he will not be emotional, and after a light word, he immediately changed the topic.

"If you go back to Your Highness, there is only a routine report that the forward of the Hexi Army has passed Chang'an and is rushing to Luoyang, half a day ahead of the scheduled plan."

Seeing that Li Xian was no longer deeply sad, Zhang Cambodia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.

"Hmm......"

The Hexi Army is Li Xian's biggest reliance, although Li Xian's game with the imperial court did not focus on the arrival of the Hexi Army, but with the Hexi Army, Li Xian has been able to be invincible, and can hear the news that the Hexi Army is speeding up, Li Xian is very relieved, and is thinking of a few words of praise for the generals of Hexi, when he suddenly saw Luo Tong striding out from behind the screen, and stopped when he reached the mouth.

"Your Highness, Tangzhou, Xiangzhou urgent!"

Luo Tong walked a few steps, grabbed the front, bowed down, handed the two small copper pipes in his hand forward, and hurriedly said a word.

"Oh?"

Li Xian had been waiting for the news from these two states, and when he saw the letter, his spirit was immediately lifted, and he didn't talk nonsense, he reached out and took the small copper pipe, unscrewed the hidden button on it skillfully, and read it carefully.

"Your Highness, what's the situation?"

Zhang and Di are both meticulous people, even if Li Xian's expression did not change too much when he read the letter, but the few traces of worry flashed in his eyes could not hide the observation of the two, but neither of them was a reckless person, and did not interrupt Li Xian's contemplation, until Li Xian raised his head, and then Zhang Cambodia took the lead in asking.

"Tangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Yue Wangfu, the Xiangzhou army has moved, and it is marching towards Tangzhou, this news will be detected by the queen mother at the latest!"

After Li Xian explained calmly, he casually handed the two letters to Zhang Cambodia.

"The wolf's ambition has been revealed, and the matter has reached the last moment, Your Highness, the old minister thinks that now that the matter is over, the final plan must be activated!"

Zhang Cambodia saw it quickly, and after going through the two secret letters at a glance, he did not rush to speak, but waited for Di Renjie to finish reading the letter, and then he arched his hand towards Li Xianyi, and said in an impassioned tone.

"Well, what does Di Gong think?"

Li Xian was not in a hurry to make a decision, but threw the question to Di Renjie.

"Your Highness Mingjian, Weichen thinks that what Brother Meng said is very true, and it is indeed the time to do it!"

As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Di Renjie did not hesitate to support Zhang Cambodia's proposal.

"Okay, that's it!"

The so-called final plan is not the "Xuanwumen Change", but the forced palace, which not only needs to have enough military strength as a guarantee, but also needs the cooperation of the righteous name, in other words, it is necessary to cooperate with the guidance of public opinion, only to mobilize the majority of the courtiers to act together, in order to have the banner of righteousness in hand, this is obviously much more complicated than a simple military coup, although a lot of preparations have been made, but when it comes to the absolute certainty of success, it is not easy to assert, but now, Li Xian can only gamble, Of course, even if this matter cannot be completely successful, it does not matter, if nothing else, just because in terms of military strength, Li Xian's side has an absolute advantage, but there is no possibility of complete defeat.

"Your Highness Shengming!"

For today's decision, Zhang and Di don't know how much thought they have spent, what they are afraid of is that Li Xian relies on his strong military strength to act vigorously, and now, everything is finally about to begin, and under the high spirits of the two, Ying Nuo's voice is crisp and neat.

"Well, let's get busy."

Although things are basically going according to the plan, at least on the surface, there is nothing wrong, but Li Xian can't get excited, not for anything else, just because there are too many variables in the whole plan, even if the plan is thorough, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents, and it may not be possible to achieve the most rational state, of course, it will not be a complete failure, even so, let the two strategists toss, there is nothing to say.

"No!"

The plan was set by the two strategists, and the two of them knew very well how to operate it, and after each bowed down and agreed to it, they immediately withdrew from the study together, and went to be busy with various matters without mentioning it.

"Luo Tong, is there any movement at the other end of the Yue Wangfu?"

After the two strategists went, Li Xian did not get up, but pondered silently for a while, and then his eyes fell on Luo Tong, who was waiting on the side, and asked in a deep voice.

"Everything is normal, the old fox has been sick at home since the first day of the new year, and he will not be a guest, his subordinates have been closely monitored, if there is any movement, it will be difficult to hide the observation of his subordinates."

Li Xianyou asked, Luo Tong didn't dare to slack off a little, bowed down hurriedly, and hurriedly answered.

"Well, keep watching, don't let this guy slip away!"

Li Xian still trusted Luo Tong's ability to do things, and he didn't ask any more, just casually ordered, and then picked up the book, and looked at it without a glance......

Noon is approaching, the sun is a little more colorful, suddenly, there is already a bit of spring charming, but the heart of the Empress Wu is very dim, no intention to correct those folds that can never be finished, twisted his brows, standing in front of the windowsill of the study, stunned looking at the direction of Lishui Xuan, and did not move for a long time.

This is the ninth day, since the establishment of Fu Li Shui Xuan, the heart of the martial arts has never really been at peace, from the beginning of the deep expectation, to the present fear, but stunned is not to see a trace of hope for success, not only the ambush is empty, the matter at the end of Tangzhou has not seen an echo, such a situation that does not fall at both ends, even if the martial arts queen is mentally tough, but can not help but fall into a deep panic, have to start thinking about the final solution, the problem is that she does not have a full grasp of success, and once missed, That is the end of the catastrophe, and freedom cannot be used without care.

Strength, in the final analysis, is still strength, don't look at the face of the martial arts to grasp the entire Yulin army, sitting on nearly 15,000 troops, compared to Li Xian's 3,000 Donggong Guards led by the army, it seems to be more than five times more, but in addition to Cheng Wuting and Li Duozuo, the rest of the Yulin Army is just some old soldiers with little combat power, and it is useless at all, and how high the loyalty of Cheng and Li Erbu is, it is still difficult to say, even if these two armies are willing to do their best, they really met the Donggong Guards who are armed to the teeth. I'm afraid that I don't necessarily have much chance of winning, once I can't quickly take the East Palace, there will be more variables in things, and the Empress Wu does not dare to guarantee that the direction of things will definitely develop in his favor, this risk, until the last moment, the Empress Wu does not want to take the risk.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, something happened, something was wrong......"

Just when Empress Wu was worried, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Cheng Denggao, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly rushed in from outside, shouting in panic as he walked.

"Bastard, what's the hell, did you lose your soul, huh?"

Empress Wu was very upset at this time, and when she saw Cheng Denggao screaming like this, she was angry, her eyes widened, and she scolded mercilessly.

"Ah, slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should be damned!"

As soon as he heard that Empress Wu's voice was wrong, Cheng Denggao could still hold it, and he fell to his knees in a hurry, kowtowing like a pound.

"That's enough, what's the matter? Say! ”

Empress Wu just had a seizure, and when she got to the bottom, she still cared about what happened, and she would not worry much about Cheng Denggao, her eyebrows raised, and she asked impatiently.

"Back to Niangniang's words, it is rare to have a sunny day today, and the slave maid also arranged for people to go to the top of each hall to clear the snow, but I never thought that under this clearing, there was a big incident, a few days earlier the missing Langming Immortal and a palace maid both lay on the top of the Lishui Xuan Palace, there must be something strange in it, the slave did not dare to slack off, and hurried to come to the Niangniang, anxious for a while, unorthodox, and please Niangniang Haihan."

Cheng Denggao kowtowed while babbling about what happened.

"What?"

As soon as she heard Cheng Denggao say this, Empress Wu's heart suddenly sank, and she exclaimed in shock......
