Chapter 374: The Night of the Coup

"Uncle, why are you depressed?" Li Tao stared at Li Dan in front of him and asked strangely.

Li Dan sighed and said, "Twenty-six years ago, I was the emperor, but I didn't expect to sit in that position now." Except for you, I'm afraid no one in this world believes me anymore and doesn't want to be an emperor at all. ”

Li Tao smiled and said, "Uncle, for the sake of the third uncle, you have to work hard again!" ”

"I'm afraid even Saburo doesn't believe that I don't want to be the emperor, otherwise he won't keep his mouth shut about me for such a big thing." Li Dan smiled bitterly.

"The third uncle is afraid that you are in danger, and he will tell you only after he thinks of success."

"You don't have to cover it up for him, he alone took the credit of this coup d'Γ©tat to earn some capital for his future position. He is my son, how can I not know his mind? ”

Li Tao said with a smile: "If the third uncle doesn't even have this bit of resourcefulness, it will be in vain for me to help him for so long." ”

"Tao'er, how about a drink with me?" Li Dan asked suddenly.

"Uncle, aren't you not drunk?" Li Tao said strangely.

"It's been a long night, and it's too tiring to just wait for the news, so it's better to have a drink or two, and the time will pass faster!"

"Tao'er obeys!" Li Tao readily agreed.

……

Li Longji, the king of Linzi, has stopped all aspects of the arrangement, and agreed to start an incident tonight, set off cannons, and work together inside and outside the palace walls to kill Wei and his henchmen.

In the camp of the right Yulin army, Chen Xuanli killed Wei's henchmen with lightning speed, and announced in public: Wei's poisoned the first emperor and endangered Sheji. The king of Lixiang is the emperor to settle the world. Those who dare to oppose will be guilty of the three tribes. So there was an order. The soldiers of Yulin were happy to obey. In fact, they were originally Li Tang's army, but they were ruled by Wei for more than ten days, and their hearts still belonged to Li Tang.

At this time, Webster could only walk around to dispel the fear in his heart. She was in a particularly bad mood in the past two days, in a trance, upset, unpleasant to eat, and unable to sleep. She did not dare to meet anyone's gaze, and she seemed to see in anyone's gaze the contempt for her, the spitting for her. Anger at her.

The only way Webster tried to calm himself down was to think more about his mother-in-law, the Emperor Zetian, how could she be so calm then? Strangled his daughter with his own hands and poisoned his son. Her sister and niece. The mother and daughter both died at her hands, and they were at ease, not surprised, and without any guilt. The emperor deserves to have a taste. I haven't killed a single person with my own hands. It's just that unstable. What am I worse than her? By the way, Wei Shi realized it, and the Emperor of Heaven was tall and majestic, standing there like a mountain, of course, he was not afraid of anything.

Webster immediately changed into high-soled shoes and put on a robe like that of Emperor Zetian. The robe was too long. Access thresholds, up and down stairs. There are inevitably two little gong'e holding behind. Webster walked around the palace like this, and his mood seemed to be much calmer.

But you can't sleep at night, but Merriam-Webster can't sleep peacefully.

"Your Majesty, I'll personally make you a bowl of fresh ginseng soup, and you will feel comfortable after drinking it." Wei's favorite Yang Jun said that he went out and served a bowl of hot ginseng soup after a while. But she only tasted two tablespoons and pushed it aside.

"Your Majesty, I'll go and get you a tranquilizer, just take three or five pills, make sure your mind is happy, and you will fall asleep." Yang Jun took the medicine, and Webster grabbed a handful and ate it, but he still couldn't sleep.

In the end, Yang Jun had no choice but to let Wei lie down, go up and down, and massage the acupuncture points one by one. Gradually, she closed her eyes, and a slight snoring could be heard.

But in the dream, Wei Shi was even more uneasy, she dreamed that countless people were holding knives to kill her, and then she dreamed that she was sitting on the throne of the emperor and accepting the worship of civil and military officials.

On the contrary to Wei's, Princess Taiping showed extraordinary serenity in the palace, she calculated the time, there was still an hour before the time of the incident discussed with Li Longji, she waited in front of the window, quietly looking in the direction of the palace.

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, the cool breeze was blowing, Wei Bo, the general of the Yulin Army, and Wei Xuan, Wei Weiqing, were drinking on the door of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and there were four courtesans to accompany them. Because of the hard work of the day, A does not leave his body, and it is rare to have a free night tonight, and he can drink freely. When he was half drunk, he suddenly heard a cannon in the distance, Wei Bo was startled, and hurriedly said to the captain Ge Fushun, who was watching outside the door: "Go and see where the cannon was fired, and arrest him to correct the law on the spot." ”

I only heard Ge Fu comply, and led more than ten soldiers to push the door in, without waiting for Wei Bo. Wei Xuan came back to his senses, and both of them became ghosts under the knife. Ge Fu obediently cut off two heads, picked them up on the city tower and shouted down:

"Listen, brothers, Webster poisoned the emperor and killed the king. The Websters formed a gang to mess with my Datang. We are waiting for the order of the king and the general, and we have already broadcast Wei. Wei Xuan's two thieves were executed, and their heads were hung here, hoping that all the brothers would work together to kill Wei Dang, serve the Tang family, and build a meritorious cause; If there is any help, those who are willing to rebel will be punished by the nine clans. ”

Most of the sergeants hated the Wei party, and now that they were in the lead, and on the orders of the prime minister, they rushed to join Fu Wei's ranks. Ge Fushun went down the city tower, reorganized the soldiers and horses, gathered more than 1,000 people, and went to Chengtianmen to kill.

Li Xianyan, the lieutenant general of the Zuo Yulin Army, had already been rebelled by Chen Xuanli, heard the sound of cannons in the tent, and led hundreds of soldiers and horses to attack Anfumen. Kill all the way, invincible, and Ge Fushun's soldiers and horses are at Chengtianmen.

Chen Xuanli's troops and horses led by Li Longji led the Yulin army out of the south gate of the Forbidden Garden and began to attack the palace. And the people's desire in the palace is still the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. So the defense of Miyagi was self-defeating. Like a collapsed broken wall, it collapses and collapses. In an instant, the harem was full of horses' hooves, fires, and murders. Li Longji rendezvoused with Li Xianyan and Ge Fushun in the Taiji Palace, and killed Dongguan, Wei's lair.

Empress Wei in the harem was still immersed in her dynastic dreams, she was awakened by a sound in the entanglement of the five-colored auspicious clouds in her dreams, and she was not familiar with the sound that kept approaching her.

It was already the third watch, and the silence of midnight was suddenly broken. Empress Wei was frightened, and she immediately realized that she was in danger and could not become an empress.

So, Empress Wei fled from the palace in a panic, she had only one thought at this time, that is, to escape, in the opposite direction of the incoming soldiers. Surrounded and intercepted by the cavalry behind her, Webster didn't know where to flee, let alone where to hide, she was really frightened, and could only run desperately in the shouting and killing behind her.

At this critical moment, there was no one around Queen Wei, no one could help her, save her, and protect her. Empress Wei's feet were worn by the stone pavement, her body stumbled, and her face was covered with blood and tears, but she still ran desperately and desperately. (To be continued......)
