Chapter 415: The Prince's Change (2)

At half of the night of April 19 in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (not the first year of the Shenlong in history), less than a month before returning to Chang'an, Princess Taiping gathered her henchmen and came to the princess's mansion to discuss matters, and decided to send troops to the palace to unite with the crown prince Li Chongjun to abolish Li Xian and seize power.

At this time, Empress Wu also quietly left the "Vientiane Divine Palace" that had not yet been fully completed, and the reprimanded henchmen under her command were also secretly called back, forming a force, and after the "recommendation" of Princess Taiping, she quietly joined the side of the crown prince Li Chongjun.

Princess Taiping also mobilized the forces of the six rates of the East Palace in the hands of the generals under her command and the Prime Minister Li Dan, forming a countercurrent, which corresponded with Li Chongjun's strength and quietly launched an attack on the palace.

In fact, since Li Xian ascended the throne, for various reasons, Li Dan has been in control of the six rates of the East Palace, and although Li Chongjun is the crown prince, he has no right to mobilize the troops that should belong to him, which is also a reason for Princess Taiping to stimulate Li Chongjun to rebel, but now, Li Chongjun no longer thinks about these things, he is young and frivolous, he only thinks that with the help of his aunt Princess Taiping, who loves him, he will definitely be able to control the power and become the most famous young son of heaven in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He must have named his mother the queen mother, so that his mother, who died unjustly, would get the greatest beauty.

It's just that Li Chongjun didn't know that even if he really succeeded this time, he was actually just seeking skin with the tiger, with the strength of Princess Taiping, he was lucky to be a puppet emperor peacefully.

At this time, Li Chongjun was in high spirits, leading a group of young generals and thousands of soldiers to come to the Xuanwu Gate, and wanted to deceive the guards of the Xuanwu Gate in the name of entering the palace under his order.

The guard of the Xuanwu Gate is Li Duozuo, the general of the left prison guard, this person can be regarded as Li Xian's descendant, when Li Xian launched the coup d'état that was later called the "Heir Sage Coup", Li Duozuo made a great contribution in it, defeated the power of Gar Gongren, and won the battle to seize the door.

Now Li Xian is even more entrusted with the important task of letting Li Duozuo garrison the Xuanwu Gate, which is also the northernmost gateway of the Daming Palace, through this portal, you will arrive at the location of the harem, it can be said that Li Xian handed over all the safety of his body to Li Duozuo.

Li Duozuo did not disappoint Li Xian, although it was the prince who called the door, he did not open it, because he knew deeply that the prince, as the lord of the East Palace, should not lead thousands of people to enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate at this time anyway, there can only be one possibility, that is, the prince wants to rebel!

Although he was deeply shocked by this thought, Li Duozuo could only take the most conservative means, persuading the prince with kind words and perfunctory reproaches, and refused to open the Xuanwu Gate no matter what.

Li Chongjun saw that Li Duozuo refused to open the door, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing what to do, at this moment, he saw the general Li Qianli next to him and said: "Your Highness, until now, there is no room for hesitation, because Li Duozuo must also see that we have raised troops to rebel, if we flee like this now, Your Majesty will investigate it in the future, and Your Highness will also bear the responsibility, and at that time, we will be the meat on the chopping board, and we will be slaughtered." ”

This Li Qianli is the eldest son of Wu Wang Ke, older than Li Xian, is Li Xian's cousin, although this person is a Tang Dynasty clan, but the royal family is not very loyal, this is mainly because his father Li Ke was framed for rebellion, and then killed, so he has always hoped that Empress Wu can overthrow Gaozong's country, which can be regarded as an indirect avenging for his father, so when Empress Wu killed the Li Tang clan, he survived because he was respectful enough to Empress Wu, and later Li Xian's coup was successful, because he remembered that he was the Li Tang clan, didn't care too much about him, but he didn't expect him to be obsessed, and he was bewitched by the Empress Wu again, just because the Empress Wu promised to make him a lieutenant after the matter was completed, and inherited the title of King Wu, he immediately agreed.

After Li Qianli finished speaking, Li Chongjun's side Shazha Zhongyi, Dugu Yizhi and others also echoed one after another, Li Chongjun didn't have any ideas because of his youth, but now that everyone said so, he immediately made a decision and ordered to attack Xuanwu Gate.

There were only a few hundred people around Li Duozuo, and when he saw that the prince really ordered an attack, he hurriedly ordered to defend the palace, and then immediately ordered someone to go to the palace to report to Li Xian.

Li Xian was reviewing the folds in the palace at this time, because he had just grasped the power for a long time, he had to make a diligent appearance, and he had to bow down to everything, so he was not like the emperor he imagined before, he could turn over the cards and spoil the concubines every night, and his life was so bitter and lonely. Therefore, Li Xian was sighing with emotion while reviewing the folds: "It's really not easy to be a Mingjun." ”

However, at this moment, a burst of noise from outside the palace interrupted Li Xian's thoughts, Li Xian couldn't help frowning, and just wanted to drink and ask what was wrong, he saw the chamberlain Gao Cheng walk in and report that the prince had rebelled and was gathering people to attack Xuanwu Gate.

"What?" Li Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, because he knew that the prince was now eleven or twelve years old, and he dared to rebel, if no one was bewitched by such a thing, then he would never believe it, and as for who was bewitching, Li Xian could also guess it.

Although with the disclosure of Dou Xiantong's identity, the Infernal Affairs organization has been disbanded, but there is some news Li Xian still has his own news channels, and he is still clear about some small actions of Princess Taiping and Empress Wu, but he didn't expect that this mother and daughter would bewitch their son and the prince of the dynasty to rebel together, how old is this little guy? How can you tell the difference between right and wrong? The reason why he is now participating in the rebellion is definitely being bewitched by ulterior motives.

However, Li Xian's reaction was not slow, and he immediately ordered the most elite thousand horsemen around him to go with him to quell the rebellion, but Li Xian did not go directly to Xuanwumen, but went to Zhongshu Province, and only ordered to send the hundred monks and soldiers from the palace to Xuanwumen for reinforcements.

Previously, after the coup d'état, the hundred monks did not return to the Shaolin Temple, but have been silently protecting Li Xian's side, and dispatched a part of the people to help Li Xian train the "Thousand Cavalry" soldiers who had just been selected, originally they decided to wait until Li Xian moved back to Chang'an, and the situation stabilized and returned immediately, but because Li Xian missed them very much, he did not agree to let them leave, which led to the fact that he had not left until now, but this left a strong force for Li Xian's counterinsurgency today.
