The entire palace is divided into two parts, north and south. To the south is the official office, and to the north is where the royals live. Among them, the East Palace where the prince lives, the Wude Hall where the King of Qi lives is east of the Taiji Palace, and the Chengqian Hall where Li Shimin lives is west of the Taiji Palace. If Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji want to go to Taiji Palace to meet the emperor, they must start from the north, walk west for a while, and pass the Xuanwu Gate in the south, so as to reach Taiji Palace.

However, the Xuanwu Gate is the hub for controlling the imperial palace. As long as the Xuanwu Gate is occupied, it can go directly to the Taiji Palace to the south, and the East Palace and the Wude Hall can be attacked to the east. This is also the reason why Li Shimin staged a coup d'état in Xuanwumen.

The first half of the night passed, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who had rested for a long time woke up one after another, looked at the guards who couldn't stop drowsy and nodded, and pushed them twice: "Well, brothers, you go to sleep first, and we will help you guard for a while!" ”

When the guards heard these words in a trance, they immediately gave away the weapons in their hands, squinted into the rest room of the city tower, and fell asleep.

Zhang Yunwen was blowing a little cold night breeze, looking at the little sparks in the south of Xuanwu Gate, and he was stupid for a while.

Those sparks are the campfires in the camp of the cantonment soldiers stationed in Xuanwu Gate.

"Bang - Bang Bang Bang!" There was a sound of beating in the distance, Zhang Yunwen heard it, four watches! He faced the Taiji Palace in the south, looked at the longing black shadow at the corner of the palace, and sighed slightly!

I guess they should do it!

At this moment, when the sound of the fourth watch came, the palace guards lying in the manna hall were still asleep. However, on the long couch that was originally a 20-person bunk, there were several places where the bedding was folded well and empty.

Outside the Ganlu Palace, Liu Cheng and Lei Wu were looking at the forty-eight soldiers in front of them. They stood neatly and straight, their faces full of a sense of death.

"Everyone has been in for so long, and they must have a clear understanding of the guards around Your Majesty! I won't talk about the specific arrangement, in short, today's task is to control all the personal guards around His Majesty, so that they can't make any moves at noon tomorrow! When I say control, I mainly mean those children with deep backgrounds, just look at the information in your hands and have the bottom in your heart! Stun them, tie them up, and strip them naked, leaving no underwear behind! And other personal guards other than the information can be dealt with as appropriate! Liu Cheng said softly.

These soldiers looked at Liu Cheng speechlessly, and after a long while, they nodded in unison with a wry smile.

I saw fifty figures quickly return to the Manna Palace, enter room by room, and then knock the sleeping guards unconscious, tie them up, strip them naked, and finally stuff their underwear into their mouths.

"Wow, look at this guy, he's so small!" One of the soldiers exclaimed in surprise.

"Stupid, we're on a mission, be quiet!"

The soldier was dumbfounded for a moment, but he still muttered quietly, "It's really small! ”

No matter how fast these reconnaissance battalion soldiers moved, after all, there were nearly 300 guards, plus those who encountered resistance on the way, it took more than an hour to get these guards, and finally threw them all in a room and tied them together. As soon as the door was closed, General Tie locked, and the work was completed.

At this time, the sound of the fifth watch has been knocked for a long time.

The early risers in the palace have already started their day's work. For example, pour night incense.

The sky was slightly bright, the Ganlu Gate slowly opened, and Liu Cheng and the others entered the Taiji Palace from the Ganlu Gate as usual.

At this time, Li Yuan had just reluctantly gotten up from the arms of a group of beauties, and he was dressed up.

"Someone's coming!"

A chamberlain entered.

Li Yuan ordered: "You immediately send someone out of the palace and invite Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Pei Ju to come over!" ”

The chamberlain lowered his head, turned and hurried out the door.

Li Yuan walked out of the palace and stood on the steps of the main hall.

Under the eaves of the main hall, a row of guards stood up.

Li Yuan looked at the guards, and suddenly found that none of them were familiar, and he was suddenly a little puzzled, secretly vigilant in his heart, and asked, "Are you the guards?" ”

Liu Cheng stood in the position closest to Li Yuan, and when he heard this, he replied, "Your Majesty, we are all guards selected by the Qin Palace!" ”

Li Yuan was shocked, "oh", turned around, and wanted to slowly walk into the hall.

Who knew that Liu Cheng moved faster, stopped in front of Li Yuan, and arched his hand: "Please Your Majesty boating on the lake!" ”

Li Yuan froze for a moment, and then said angrily: "Do you have to force me to do it?" ”

Liu Cheng still arched his hand and said: "Please Your Majesty boating on the lake!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Siye, and saw that none of the guards in the distance were unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He stared at Liu Cheng in front of him, and paused word by word: "Wait, are you trying to rebel?" ”

Liu Cheng raised his head, and in his eyes, the cold light was pressing. A fierce momentum emanated from him: "Your Majesty, please go boating on the lake!" ”

Such momentum, Li Yuan had seen it a long time ago, it was after fighting one after another on the battlefield, and it was slowly sharpened by the murderous aura that rushed to the sky on the battlefield. In other words, a person with this kind of momentum must be a veteran who has died for a lifetime.

Suddenly thinking of Li Shimin, Li Yuan couldn't help but show a smile, Erlang is still the most powerful, it seems that he is going to do it.

"Okay, I'll be boating on the lake!"

Several soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were the first to open the way, followed by Li Yuan, accompanied by Liu Cheng, and finally a few more soldiers.

When I came to the lake, I saw a colorful dragon boat moored on the shore. As soon as the eunuchs guarding the dragon boat saw Li Yuan, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Yuan said lightly: "You go and inform Wang Fu, the eunuch in the palace, and say that I am interested in it, and I am now boating on the lake." Wait a minute, the ministers will come, let him bring it here!" ”

The eunuch took the order and departed.

Li Yuan and more than 20 soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion boarded the dragon boat.

Looking at the weeping willows by the lake, the lake is like a mirror, and Li Yuan does not have half of the wine in his heart. Turning his head, he looked at the expressionless scout battalion soldiers. I saw that they were wearing armor that was no different from ordinary guards, but their chests and abdomen were swollen, and they didn't know what they were.

However, he soon found out.

After a while, I saw a eunuch leading a group of officials dressed in purple and red clothes to the dragon boat. The soldiers immediately took out a crossbow from their shirts between their chests and abdomen, and felt for two bags of arrows between their calves. The crossbow bolt was wound, and it was pointed at the official who was slowly coming.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion standing by the lake greeted the ministers as they approached, and sent the unprepared ministers onto the dragon boats.

Then, the cable is slowly untied and the dragon boat slowly shores the shore.

At this time, the ministers who got on the ship realized that there was a team of people with crossbows and indifferent expressions standing in front of them.

(Finally a chapter came out!) When I returned to my hometown today, I finally saw what a new countryside is, and it turned out that the new countryside in my hometown is to paint the black or gray houses on both sides of the highway white, and add a few beautiful wooden fences to surround the outside. Driving all the way, it's so beautiful, it's really a new countryside! ）
