The Li royal family has always had the "custom" of mutiny.

Li Yuan started by rebelling, and Taizong Li Shimin single-handedly directed the Xuanwumen Incident and shot his brother to ascend to the throne. And Li Longji himself personally ran the two mutinies, from which he became the biggest beneficiary.

Li Longji never dreamed that the same mutiny would happen to him Now, he is the emperor, but he is also a person who has been coerced and forced into the palace.

Thinking of this son, his heart is no less ruthless than he was back then.

Since he raised troops to control Chang'an City and came to Xingqing Palace, how could he give up if he didn't achieve his goal?

Li Longji knew very well in his heart that Li Wan's proposal to kill Yang Guozhong and depose the crown prince Li Heng was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to force himself to abdicate so that he could rightfully ascend to the throne.

Li Longji's reaction from getting the news to responding hastily was not unpleasant, but he didn't expect that Li Wan's actions were faster than him. In other words, this son's methods are more ruthless than him, of course, this also shows that the emperor is dying, whether he admits it or not, he gradually shows a corresponding decline in power and wisdom.

Li Longji stood on the palace gate tower like this, staring condescendingly at the black and oppressive Yulin Guard horse in front of the palace, and the Rong King Li Wan standing in front of the team.

Of course, he was extremely angry in his heart, but at this moment, his mind gradually calmed down.

Only the crown prince Li Heng beside him had a pale face and his shoulders trembled slightly. If it weren't for the fear that the emperor would have promised Li Wan the slope and abolished him on the spot, he would not have had the courage to follow him; And Yang Guozhong was even more anxious.

After knowing that there was no hope of exiting the city, he immediately made a decision and gathered hundreds of Ding guards to protect a family of relatives and fled into the Xingqing Palace where the emperor lived. At this moment, for Yang Guozhong, the safest place in Chang'an City is Xingqing Palace.

Li Longji glared angrily at Li Wan in front of the palace, and suddenly raised his hand and reprimanded with all his strength, "Li Wan, you lead the troops to force the palace, there is no father and no king, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"If you put down your weapons and help me capture King Rong's traitorous thief, I will not only forgive you and others for the crime of conspiring against the thief, but also reward you."

Li Longji immediately shouted at the Yulin guards with his throat pulled his throat again.

Li Wan sneered indifferently and was indifferent.

Since he raised his army, he was absolutely sure.

This Lin Wei's thousands of soldiers and horses are in his hands for not a day, they have all come to this point, if the emperor's words alone will collapse the good situation, Li Wan might as well go and find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Thousands of Lin Wei were silent.

To be honest, not all the Yulin guards have their hearts set on King Rong, and they are all willing to rebel against the thieves. It's just that almost all the middle- and upper-level officers in Yulinwei are controlled by Huo Qing, and as ordinary soldiers, they can only obey military orders. If there is any disturbance, I am afraid that it will be eliminated immediately.

The prince forced the emperor to the palace, and the son asked his father for power, which in the eyes of many soldiers, the guilt of rebellion was actually greatly reduced.

"Li Wan, evil obstacles! Dog thief! I want to put you to death! ”

Li Longji's old voice echoed in front of the palace gate for a long time, but it suddenly caused a violent cough.

"The son of the king of Rong, Li Wan, has seen his father."

Li Wan stepped forward immediately, waving his horsewhip, and his voice was clear and calm, "In today's imperial court, traitors are in charge, and the prince is incompetent. Erchen led this Yu Lin Wei 8,000 sons, and implored his father and emperor to punish the adulterer, the Qing monarch, and the abolition of the prince, so as to correct the dynasty. ”

"Punish the traitor, the Qing monarch's side, the abolished prince, and the Zheng Dynasty!"

Thousands of Lin Wei raised their arms in response, roaring in unison, and the sound was like shaking the sky.

The faces of the crown princes Li Heng and Yang Guozhong on the upper floor of the palace gate changed suddenly, and they subconsciously took a step back.

Li Longji's face twitched, and he turned around and glanced at Yang Guozhong and Li Heng.

Yang Guozhong secretly shouted that it was not good, this old emperor had already had the idea of abandoning his pawn to protect the car under the coercion of Li Wan, and he had the opportunity to kill!

Yang Guozhong immediately took a step forward, bowed down and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the rebels are forcing the palace and it is unstoppable, so why not let the minister and the prince gather the subordinates and the palace forbidden guards, fight a bloody way from the back gate of Xingqing Palace, desperately break through the Yanxing Gate, and withdraw from Chang'an City to protect everything." ”

"As long as Your Majesty ascends to the heights and shouts, the king of the world's feudal towns will come and kill the rebellious party, what is the way?"

Li Heng also stepped forward and whispered, "What Yang Xiang said is extremely true, father, we can't sit idly by......"

Li Longji smiled coldly and did not respond.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong took a step back in disappointment, and slowly retreated to the palace gate, leaving only Li Longji and Gao Lishi, surrounded by a few trembling eunuchs and palace maids, and Li Wan's thousands of forest guards and horses under the palace gate.

"Fetch the arrows!" Li Wan shook his wrist and exhaled.

The soldiers behind him hurriedly sent bows and arrows.

Li Wan tied the letter he had already written to his bow and arrow, and then took the bow and arrow, aiming at the banner of the palace gate next to the emperor and shooting it.

"Your Majesty beware!" Gao Lishi's color changed suddenly, and an arrow stepped in front of the emperor.

Sou!

With a crisp sound, Li Wan's flying arrow hit the flagpole of the gatehouse of the palace, and a letter swayed tremblingly in the cold wind.

"Take it." Li Longji's voice was hoarse, and he slowly sat down on the palace gate.

He didn't worry about his own safety, if Li Wan really wanted to lead troops into the palace, he would have done it a long time ago, and he wouldn't have to stick to Chen Bing outside the palace to form a force outside the palace. He 'understands his son' very well, he will not take that last step - if he can force himself to abdicate voluntarily, for Li Wan, that is the result of thinking.

Colliers took the letter and handed it over.

Li Longji took it and glanced at it, his face changed greatly, his shoulders trembled, and his eyes suddenly filled with endless killing intent and madness.

Li Wan did not ask him to abdicate, but only wanted to coerce him to immediately release Concubine Mei from the palace safely. Otherwise, he would lead his troops into the palace. Or, send troops out of the city, capture Yang Guifei of Yuzhenguan, and kill her in front of the emperor.

Li Longji angrily tore up the letter, and as soon as he raised it, the confetti was boiling and fluttering in the sky, and the scene was very strange.

Li Wan was indifferent, he expected that Li Longji would not dare to disobey.

Having said that, if he got the news that Li Longji was suddenly going to give Concubine Mei to death, he would not have acted a day earlier.

"Your Highness, why don't I attack Xingqing Palace......" Gao Xianzhi stepped forward and said softly.

Li Wan shook his head, "No." The king will give his father two days, and I believe that with these two days, my father will arrange everything...... This king's move is to kill the monarch rather than kill the king and kill the father, you need to keep it in mind! ”

"This king will go back to the house for the time being and wait, and tell Li Qi, the king of Sheng, that if the courtiers do not give advice and support this king as the prince, this king will not be merciful. Early tomorrow morning at the latest...... This is the deadline given by this king. ”

Li Wan turned around and coldly swept Li Longji and the others on the palace gate, turned the horse's head and left calmly.

"Everybody......" Colliers said with a trembling bow.

"Let Concubine Mei out of the palace. But Concubine Mei is alone, and there are many minions around Concubine Mei, all of them are killed, put in a box, and sent out together! Li Longji said miserably, got up angrily, but couldn't help but stumble. If it weren't for the quick eyes of the eunuch beside him, he might have fallen to the ground.

Supported by the eunuchs, Li Longji stared out of the imperial city with his feet crossed, and secretly prayed in his heart for the blessing of his ancestors: I hope that Zhang Xuan will go well, come back in time, and save me from danger!

Under the city gate, Li Longji didn't know that the crown prince Li Heng and Yang Guozhong began to separate from him.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong knew in their hearts that once Li Wan's rebels stormed the Xingqing Palace, the emperor might not be in danger, but the two of them would definitely die.

"Your Highness, looking at this situation, the emperor has the intention of abandoning us. ，！ Yang Guozhong sneered and lowered his voice, "We can't sit still and become meat on someone else's board!" ”

"Yang Xiang, is there a way back?" Li Heng also looked around anxiously, and when he saw that no one was following, he said softly.

"Prince, it's better for us to gather the palace guards and Guozhong's house slaves, there are more than 1,500 people together, we suddenly killed from the back door and rushed straight to Yanxing Gate. From Guozhong's point of view, Yanxing Gate is short and difficult to defend and easy to attack, as long as we rush out of Chang'an, we will be able to save the lives of the whole family! ”

"Father's ......"

"The emperor will give up your crown prince ...... at any time," Yang Guozhong sneered, "Your Highness, why don't we take a gamble and fight our way to the death." We rushed out of Chang'an, killed Jiannan, and the ministers should support the prince as the emperor, accumulate strength in the future, and then call on the world's feudal towns, kill back to Chang'an, and destroy the traitors of King Rong! ”

"Good! Hongu is also out this time...... Yang Xiang, when will we act......"

Yang Guozhong raised his head with a gloomy face and glanced at the palace gate, and smiled coldly, "Your Highness, at night, please gather the attendants of the East Palace and listen to Guozhong's signal!" ”

……

An army was stationed at the foot of Mount Li. It is not Yulinwei, but a Jinwuwei in the twelve guards of the Nanya Forbidden Army, 5,000 people, which is actually equivalent to the palace forbidden guards, and the main task is to guard the Huaqing Palace in Lishan. Because the emperor has to stay in Huaqing Palace for a few months every year over the years, the area around Lishan is also a place of heavy defense.

At the end of the day, Zhang Xuan led one hundred Lin Wei and one hundred palace forbidden guards to the foot of Lishan Mountain, which was about less than a mile away from the Jinwuwei military camp.

The Jinwuwei military camp is spread around the foot of the mountain, and the general's mansion is located on the left side of the official road leading to the Zhonghua Qing Palace at the foot of the mountain.

The 200 sergeants were disciplined and lined up on the side of the official road, and Zhang Xuan straddled the horse and stared at the lit Jin Wuwei General's Mansion for a long time, silent, without saying a word.

Li Jingzhong took a few steps forward and whispered respectfully under the horse, "My lord, time is urgent, why don't you go straight to He Jinliang's general's mansion, announce His Majesty's secret decree, and then lead the 5,000 army back to Chang'an......"

Zhang Xuan shook his head indifferently, "He Jinliang is not as powerful as Jia Yong, this person is in a high position, he has been in the army for seven years, and he has been guarding here, we only have His Majesty's secret decree and no edict to transfer troops, I am afraid that He Jinliang will not listen to the call." ”

Li Jingzhong hesitated, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated silently.

Xiao Shisanlang urged him to step forward and whispered in Zhang Xuan's ear, "Brother, I'll go with you for my brother." If this guy doesn't listen to the summons, there's no need to be polite to him

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said softly, "Brother, this Jin Wuwei's 5,000 army is not comparable to the 500 people in Yuzhenguan's outer Yulin Wei...... He Jinliang is a general of Zheng Sanpin, who is highly respected by His Majesty and has a very high prestige in the army...... Even if we use coercive means, we can't mobilize the 5,000 military horses under him! "To be continued."
