The morning dawn, the fresh morning breeze swept the dawn of Chang'an City, this is an ordinary day, there are pedestrians coming and going on the street, the imperial city has been on the court, the imperial city is very quiet, only occasionally there is a messenger engaged in horseback riding galloping on the street, crisp horses' hooves hit the stone slab, xt starts

More than a dozen errand officers in front of Chengtian Gate are sweeping up fallen leaves and dead branches, several soldiers guarding the door are talking and laughing, making preparations before opening the door, today's captain on duty surnamed Liu, is a tall man, early in the morning he came to the duty room on Chengtian Gate, signed and approved the application for leaving the palace that day.

Every day, dozens of eunuchs want to go out of the palace to do business, in fact, there is no need, many eunuchs are privately hidden in the palace, and when they return to the palace, they will stuff some money to the soldiers who defend the city, and there is an order not to interfere, so everyone will turn a blind eye and follow them in and out.

But today Liu Xiaowei is extra cautious when approving it, and there are a lot of people who apply to leave the palace today, there are hundreds of applications, he looks at the list and reasons for the palace one by one, what to visit his family, purchase supplies, he doesn't care, he doesn't care, he looks at the sign, suddenly, his eyes stop on the last application, go to the East City to repair the palace carriage, there are as many as fourteen, generally speaking, the damage to the utensils and supplies in the palace are repaired by the craftsmen of Shaofu Temple, but due to the decline of imperial power, the imperial court finances are relatively tight, in the tenth year of QingzhiMost of the craftsmen of the temple, including Shaofu Temple, have been disbanded, and if necessary, they will be transferred to the craftsmen in the East City for repair.

Therefore, it is indeed normal for the palace to send the carriage to Dongshi for repair, but in any case, it is too much to send fourteen carriages for repair at a time, and Captain Liu knows that this is what the above has repeatedly told him to pay attention to.

He didn't dare to slack off, put away the approval form and went to Li Dingfang to ask for instructions, but before he went out, he saw Li Dingfang walking in head-on, "What, did you find something abnormal?" Li Dingfang asked with a smile.

"Report to the General. There is indeed an anomaly. Captain Liu handed him the last endorsement.

"Going to East City to repair the carriage?" Li Dingfang sneered, "I thought they were going to plant trees or repair the palace room today." It seems that she can't even endure this hardship. ”

Li Dingfang handed the approval slip to Captain Liu and said, "You can let it go!" But you're going to see for yourself what carriage she's in. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "This matter is very important, don't really slack off." ”

"Please rest assured, the subordinates will do their best to check."

Officials are looking up and down. There was a brief silence in the Imperial City. At this time, in the southeast corner of the imperial city, the Taimiao Temple was lively. Some of the people of Zongzheng Temple are simply setting up the venue. Due to manpower and time constraints. The so-called floor arrangement is to put up a long table in the square. It is topped with yellow satin. Some essential offerings are placed on the table.

Half an hour later. Beginning to have clans and royal families arriving at the temple one after another. But Li Mian never showed up. He was making the final dispatch in his dungeon at the moment. Nearly 1,000 soldiers in full armor have been prepared. You can go at any time. This is Duan Xiu's personal guard. All of them are loyal and strong in martial arts. Extremely combative. They will escort the Empress Dowager and Li Li to the Daming Palace to ascend the throne.

Follow the deployment. There will be about 5,000 people from various prefectures, and the garrisons from all over Chang'an City will be obstructed from rushing to the Daming Palace. Time is of the essence. They had to enter the Daming Palace in a very short time. Otherwise, it will end in failure. Li Mian also knows that success is unlikely.xt The first start can only be used to make the last bet with the prestige of the Queen Mother.

Everything is in place. Just wait for news from the Imperial City. About half an hour later. A fast horse galloped in. Report to Li Mian. "The princes, the princes, the princes, the princes, and other royal families have reached sixty-four. The king of Xingyang County, please come over. ”

Sixty-four. Li Mian sighed slightly. Ninety-seven people should have come. It seems that some people have already reversed themselves. But it's good to be here for sixty-four.

The hour is near. Li Mian finally tidied up his court clothes. But he didn't go out. Instead, he walked to the inner house. Through a small door in his premises, he entered a secret room. There are no windows in the secret room. The light is dim. Li Mian lit a candle and walked into the secret room. He carefully closed the door. dimly lit. The room turned out to be a coffin. In front of the coffin, there is a tablet on the ground. If anyone comes, they will be surprised. The inscription on this tablet turned out to be Li Mian himself. In other words, this coffin and this tablet were all prepared by Li Mian for himself.

Li Mian put down the candle, bowed to the tablet, and muttered: "Li Miangong, I'm leaving, maybe we will meet soon, please bless me with success!" ”

Standing still for a long time, Li Mianhu! Di blew out the candles, resolutely walked out of the mansion gate, got into a carriage and drove towards the imperial city.

There are a total of seven gates in the imperial city, due south is the Suzaku Gate, Hanguang Gate, and Anmen Gate, the west is Shunyi Gate, Anfu Gate, and the east is Jingfeng Gate and Yanxi Gate, of which the three city gates in the south are heavily guarded, and Shunyi Gate and Jingfeng Gate are generally closed, and there is no garrison, according to Li Mian's deployment in advance, he will control Jingfeng Gate for sergeants to enter and exit, of course, the time can not be too long.

Li Mian's carriage entered the imperial city from Anmenmen, and went directly to the Taimiao, the gate of the Taimiao was closed, only a few young clan disciples stood at the door, seeing Li Mian coming, Li Shen's son Li Shun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle Mian, there are sixty-six clansmen, all in the Taimiao." ”

Li Mian nodded, and then asked, "What about your father?" But went to Jingfengmen? ”

"Yes! My father took more than 800 guards from the princes to Jingfengmen. ”

"Has the Queen Mother arrived?"

"Not yet."

Li Mian looked up at the sky and said to Li Shun: "You go to Chengtianmen to have a look, don't have any accidents." ”

Li Shun agreed, and led a person to ride a horse in the direction of Chengtianmen.

The side door of Chengtianmen has been opened at this time, groups of eunuchs have swarmed out, and the soldiers guarding the city don't even look at the approval order, and with a wave of their hands, they are all released from the palace. A soldier points to the distance.

Sure enough, a team of carriages drove slowly, and more than a dozen eunuchs beside the carriage looked nervous. Nervous that he didn't even seem to be able to ride a horse, the convoy soon arrived in front of Chengtianmen. Feng Endao saw Captain Liu from afar, he didn't expect that Captain Liu was actually by the palace gate, and a trace of panic flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Father-in-law Feng, do you still have to repair the car yourself?" Captain Liu smiled quietly.

Feng Endao hurriedly bowed his hand and smiled: "Yes! There are a few Jingen cars that the Queen Mother often sits, and others don't know the Queen Mother's habits, so they ordered me to go to the scene to keep an eye on. ”

He was even more nervous when he saw the soldiers rushing up to check on him. "What! Does Captain Liu still have to inspect the carriage? ”

"Just take a look." Captain Liu smiled and walked to the Jingen car next to Feng Endao, and quickly glanced inside, although the curtain was not closed, but there was a thick curtain inside the carriage, and there was a little eunuch sitting next to it.

He knew it in his heart, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Let go!" ”

Fourteen carriages galloped out of the Taiji Palace in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Gate. As soon as the carriage left, Li Dingyi appeared, and he stared at the carriage and walked away. There was murder in his eyes, and he turned around and ordered without hesitation: "Order all the brothers to gather at the Chengtian Gate and prepare for battle!" ”

The atmosphere of Taiji Palace and Daming Palace immediately became tense, and three thousand soldiers were fully armed, and a group of murderous people ran in the direction of Chengtianmen, and many courtiers looked out of the window in surprise. I don't know what happened.

But outside the towering underground palace walls, the atmosphere is still quiet and peaceful, Cui Xiaofu's carriage stopped in front of the Taimiao, several eunuchs helped her out of the carriage, Cui Xiaofu's face was pale, but her eyes were full of rare fortitude and determination among women, and then accompanied by her towering cheekbones, the image of an iron woman with great power was fully expressed, and she had been carefully dressed up. He wears an embroidered crown on his head, a silk robe, and black leather shoes on his feet. This is already the emperor's attire, in order to disguise it. Cui Xiaofu put another collar on her shoulders and strode into the Taimiao.

In the empty Taimiao Square stood a group of elderly clan members, their background was the tall and majestic landlord's hall and the vast boundless square, which seemed to be extremely small.

Li Mian took the lead and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Is the Queen Mother well?" ”

Cui Xiaofu looked at this loyal minister, she sighed slightly, "Don't say anything, let's start!" ”

A crisp bell rang, today's master of ceremonies Guangwu King Li Chenghong trembled out, he walked to a big ding, unfolded a volume written by Cui Xiaofu himself, signed by the princes of the Tang Dynasty, the voice of the old said: "Since the founding of Wude, the Li family has been passed down in a lineage, and it has been one hundred and sixty-nine years

Not far from him, four eunuchs held gold plates, with countries, jade seals, imperial swords, and red pens in the plates, and behind the eunuchs on all sides, there were two eunuchs supporting Li Li, who had changed into a dragon robe, and he was wearing a three-beam crown on his head, and there was a circle of pearls and emeralds drooping along the crown, covering his face, but a pair of excited eyes could be faintly seen from the gaps in the pearls.

"Promoted by the Queen Mother and the clan, Emperor Xuanzong's grandson is virtuous, virtuous, virtuous, and unparalleled, and can inherit the unification

Thinking of this, Li Chenghong had no strength, he suddenly choked, then bent over and coughed violently, almost shaking, seeing that all the clans frowned, Li Mian immediately stepped forward, and then announced loudly: "Respectfully ask the Queen Mother to grant the new emperor the national weapon!" ”

Li Li was already impatient, and when he heard Li Miandi's announcement, he immediately stepped out of the figure-eight and tried his best to put on a majestic posture and walked towards the Juding of his dreams

Jingfeng Gate, more than 800 guards led by Li Shen finally opened the city gate that was almost rusty, outside the Jingfeng Gate is the avenue between Yongxingfang and Chongrenfang, all the way to Xingqing Palace, Tianbao years, Li Longji and Yang Guifei lived in Xingqing Palace for a long time, the ministers reported to the emperor that everything had to come out of Jingfeng Gate and go to Xingqing Palace, but at this time Xingqing Palace has been sealed and not used, and the ministers of the imperial city go to Daming Palace to generally take a convenient road between the East Palace and Taiji Palace, enter Daming Palace from Xuande Gate, almost no one takes Jingfeng Gate anymore, Therefore, the gate here was locked and there was no garrison to guard it, so Li Mian discovered this defensive loophole and formulated his plan.

With a piercing creak, the rusty gate opened, and a thousand soldiers who had been waiting outside poured in, led by Duan Xiushi's general, called Wang Ziyi, who rode on a tall horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and arched his hand to Li Shenyi: "My handsome family ordered me to obey the dispatch, please give the order!" ”

At this moment, Li Shen's son Pegasus came running and said loudly: "Father, the Taimiao business is over, and Li Shang and the Queen Mother have come here and ordered the army to go to protect it." ”

Without waiting for Li Shen to give an order, the general Wang Ziyi waved his hand and shouted in an extremely majestic voice: "Brothers, come with me!" ”

A thousand soldiers immediately followed Wang Ziyi in the direction of the Taimiao.

Close to the Taimiao Di Anshang Street, nearly a hundred carriages drove to Jingfeng Gate, here is the most concentrated place of the various departments, the right is the Shaofu Temple, the left is the Taifu Temple and the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and then go forward is the Shang Province and the capital of the water supervisor, Guanglu Temple and other places, at this time it is the busiest time of the court, the street is empty, occasionally there are low-grade petty officials passing by, seeing such a huge group of carriages coming, the petty officials hurriedly stood aside, looking at this strange clan team in amazement.

The carriage of the new emperor Li Li is in the middle, next to the carriage of the queen mother Cui Xiaofu, the stars are holding the moon and are generally surrounded by hundreds of carriages, at this moment the new emperor Li Li is lying in the carriage with satisfaction, he is still immersed in the feeling of being bowed down by the emperor of the clans, he finally became the emperor, as for whether he can finally be recognized by the hundred officials, he is not worried, that is Li Mian's business, he needs to consider a lot of things, such as the arrangement of seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, there are too few palace maids in the palace, and it is time to draft in the people, The queen is naturally his princess Luo, but he has a headache about the selection of the concubine, who should let his two most beloved concubines be in front, just let them draw lots, and the one who gets the draw will be the concubine, and if you can't draw it, you will be the concubine.

He also considered the pomp of his daily diet, the emperor must get something, and nothing is missing, when Zhang Huan negotiated, these were the bottom lines to be adhered to.

And Li Mian was in an extremely nervous mood, so far, Zhang Huan's army still has no movement at all, it is a little strange, although it feels bad, but the matter has come to this, and the road behind can only go hard.

At this time, an army turned out at the fork in the road fifty steps ahead, and Li Mian's heart was so shocked that he was about to jump out, but soon he recognized that the army was playing a white flag, which was Duan Xiushi's personal army, and before his heart returned, just when they and the army were about to converge, suddenly, a fierce sound of horses' hooves rang out, and I saw a cavalry at the front of Anmen Street, raising their swords and spears, and rushing towards this side with murderous spirit.

"Back!" A clan shouted, only to see a large force of troops pouring out from behind, and a general waved his halberd and shouted: "The thieves who want to rebel have kidnapped the Queen Mother!" Brothers, save the Queen Mother. ”

At this moment, Li Mian suddenly thought of the lonely tablet in the secret room.

(Thanks brothers!) Lao Gao has surpassed the great god and returned to the sixth, but until the last moment, Lao Gao will never dare to win, brothers, continue to support it! ）
