The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and they soon arrived in front of the palace gate, where they saw that on the high courtyard wall of the palace, Ouchi guards were firing arrows downward, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Imperial Forest Army who had set up a ladder to rush up to the city.

Seeing the arrival of a large number of plum blossom guards under the pressure of black, the Ouchi guards couldn't help but lift their spirits and said loudly: "Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, desperately protect Niangniang." ”

Lu Jinping took the lead and rushed to the head of the city, and the escort behind him followed closely, for fear that the prince would be injured by the flying arrows, so he held a shield in front of him.

Lu Jinping went to the city and said loudly: "The queen mother is here, stop, don't kill, don't let go of the arrows, don't do the people below first, the queen has something to say!" ”

But his voice had been drowned out by the shouting of killing, only people nearby heard it, and saw that Lu Jinping was really the queen mother behind him who was supported by two plum blossom guards, so he quickly stopped.

Lu Jinping saw that the shouting was too loud, so he said to the guards behind him: "You all shouted in unison: 'Stop, everyone, the queen has arrived, and you have something to say.'" ’”

So, the captains behind him shouted in unison.

Then, the other plum blossom guards also shouted loudly, and thousands of people shouted together, and the sound was so loud that it immediately overshadowed all the shouts of killing.

As soon as they heard that the queen mother was coming, and let her stop, the guards on the city tower stopped firing arrows. And Li Longji, who was directing the siege below, immediately issued an order to stop the attack, he wanted to see what was going on, so the two sides temporarily ceased fighting, and they all looked at Lu Jinping's side together.

Lu Jinping said loudly: "The queen has an order, all the guards put down their blades and retreat from the city tower!" ”

Those guards didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the queen mother following behind Lu Jinping, they didn't have any objections, and thought it was really her order. But I didn't expect that at this moment, the queen mother was so frightened that she almost fainted, where could she still speak. At this moment, he was controlled by the guards, and she didn't dare to order someone to save him, which would only hasten his death.

Although those guards heard Lu Jinping's words, they also believed that it was the queen's decree. However, at this moment, the two sides are fighting to the death on the battlefield, and putting down their blades is equivalent to giving up their lives, so they are a little at a loss, not to mention that some guards who are far away can't hear Lu Jinping's words, and they don't know what happened.

Lu Jinping immediately turned around and said to the leader and captain of the guards behind him: "Follow me and say loudly: the order of the queen mother, all the guards immediately put down their swords and retreat from the city tower." The disobedient slash. ”

Lu Jinping's order was immediately repeated by the plum blossom guards behind, the voice was very neat, it came out from afar, and the guards above the entire imperial city heard it, so some of the guards who didn't want to defend the imperial city desperately at all and cost their lives in vain took the lead in throwing down their swords.

If someone takes the lead, someone will naturally follow. Soon the clanging sound was incessant, and the blades were thrown onto the walls. And then. The guards of the brigade retreated down the stairs to the tower.

Then, Lu Jinping walked to the side of the city tower and said in a loud voice: "Brother Longji, please come forward and speak, I have something to tell you." ”

In a moment, the two sides of the Imperial Forest Army separated, and Li Longji, dressed in military uniform, rode his horse to the city tower. He said loudly: "Brother Huang, please have something to say." ”

"My mother asked me to lead the plum blossom internal guard as the internal response to the imperial brother, he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he originally wanted to form an alliance with the imperial brother, and he was afraid that speaking out would cause the queen mother to be alert, so he has not discussed it directly with you. And I want to tell you with practical actions. Now, on my mother's orders, I have taken down the Queen Mother and disarmed all the guards, and then I have opened the gates of the city and respectfully invited the Imperial Brother to enter the palace and preside over the affairs of the government. ”

Li Longji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, although he was sure to enter the palace, but it was the best to be able to take over directly without blood. After all, the leader rushed into the inner courtyard of the palace, many of which were his relatives and daughters, and if he hurt them, he was unwilling.

Although the necessary sacrifices to seize the imperial power must be paid, it is best to reduce casualties, so Shangguan Wan'er, who he thought was the queen mother's strong ally, actually helped him control the queen mother, opened the city gate, and invited him to lead into the palace. ”

Lu Jinping turned back to the captain of the plum blossom internal guard and said, "Open the gate of the palace and respectfully invite my Longji royal brother to enter the palace." ”

Soon, the plum blossom guards opened the heavy palace gate, and a pair of royal guards rushed in first, controlling all parts of the city gate first.

Most of Ouchi's guards did not want to participate in the palace coup at all. As long as he can save his life, when he saw Li Longji's army coming in, he immediately knelt on the ground, and a large area of black pressure was pressed.

When Li Longji rode into the city in military uniform, Lu Jinping was already standing behind the city gate and waiting.

Li Longji turned over and dismounted, walked over quickly, grabbed Lu Jinping's hands, shook them vigorously and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your great achievement, I will definitely repay my father for rewarding you heavily." ”

Lu Jinping held his hand and shook it and said: "Then thank you brother Huang, my mother is a little unwell, she is resting in my palace, and I am assigned to be responsible for commanding the plum blossom internal guards, obey your dispatch, do you want to let them put down their swords too?" ”

Li Longji laughed and said: "I can't even trust the imperial brother, so who else can I trust, the plum blossom internal guard is still dispatched by you." After that, Li Longji walked in front of Empress Wei, who was like chaff, and without saying a word, he suddenly drew his sword, only to see a flash of cold light, which had already cut off Empress Wei's neck, and the big head flew into the air, fell to the ground again, and rolled out of the long distance with a grunt.

The corpse that had lost its head collapsed limply on the ground, and the blood gushed out like a spring of blood from the fracture.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw Li Longji quietly cut off Empress Wei's head with a knife.

Li Longji is really a generation of heroes, decisive in killing, and never drags mud and water.

In history, Li Longji not only killed Empress Wei, but also killed Shangguan Wan'er. And this time, Lu Jinping rewrote history.

Li Longji's face did not change, he handed over the blood-stained sword to his left hand, patted Lu Jinping on the shoulder and said, "You are in charge of the plum blossom internal guard and responsible for the security of the inner courtyard of the palace. Now, go and kill Princess Anle and bring me her head. At the same time, the cronies of Empress Wei and Princess An Le in the palace were beheaded together, and I will now go to arrest the other henchmen. ”

Li Longji patted him on the shoulder again, then turned around and came to the war horse with great strides, flew on the horse, and ordered all the palace guards who surrendered to Cheng to be taken out of the imperial city and follow him to the battle first.

Then with a flick of the horse's reins, the horse left the internal strength, and the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi guards also withdrew.

Soon, calm was restored in the inner courtyard of the palace, and only a group of plum blossom guards stood waiting for Jinping to give an order.

Thousands of plum blossom guards saw that Li Longji's army was brave, if it wasn't for Lu Jinping's defection, they were afraid that Li Longji's army would come in, and they would all be spared, and they couldn't help but be afraid, and at the same time, their hearts were full of gratitude and reverence for this young prince, and the eyes that looked at him became more awe and gratitude than before.

Lu Jinping ordered two teams of people to rush to Princess Anle's bedroom and bring her head.

Princess An Le is known as the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty, the daughter of Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong and the daughter of Empress Wei. Together with Empress Wei, she poisoned her father Tang Zhongzong and prepared to launch a coup d'état, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Li Longji.

Counting up, he is Lu Jinping's cousin, but Lu Jinping is just attached to this corpse to resurrect the soul, and the whole thought is already the forensic doctor in modern society, so he has no concept of family affection for Princess Anle, and he will not have anything to say.

Then Lu Jinping instructed several other teams of men to search for the henchmen of Empress Wei and Princess An Le in the palace, but they were not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, and there must be sufficient evidence to prove it.

After Lu Jinping finished his order, he rushed to Empress Wei's palace with a few teams of people, and found that Ning Yan was still asleep on the bed, he was worried that others would kill her as Empress Wei's cronies, so he rushed first and was relieved to see her sleeping. instructed the plum blossom guard, wrapped her in a quilt, carried her back to the courtyard where she lived with a soft collapse, and then placed it next to her mother, Shangguan Wan'er's bed.

He wasn't in a hurry to wake them both up, he had to wait for things to settle down before making a decision.

The battle continued until the next morning.

Li Longji carried out a city-wide search, killed Empress Wei's henchmen, and executed all the men who participated in the rebellion's family that were taller than the horsewhip.

The inner courtyard of the palace, which was guarded by the plum blossom guards controlled by Lu Jinping, was not directly affected by this mutiny. Of course, according to Li Longji's instructions, Lu Jinping killed Empress Wei's sworn friends in the palace, including Princess An Le. But the other concubines and princesses were all fine.

In the afternoon of the next day, news came that the emperor's younger brother Li Chongmao Chan had given the throne to Li Longji's father, Li Dan. Li Dan established Li Longji as the crown prince and changed the yuan to Jingyun.

It was only at this moment that Lu Jinping breathed a sigh of relief, and after inviting everyone out of his dormitory, he first hugged Ning Yan to the small room where the palace maid lived outside, put it on the bed, and then returned to the bed, snapped his fingers, and called "Wake up!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er woke up, immediately sat up, looked at Lu Jinping and said, "What's wrong?" How could I be lying here. ”

Lu Jinping said: "Mother, you asked me to take the Meihua Internal Guard to assist Li Longji's coup d'état to control the entire palace, and I have done it. The emperor's brother, Li Longji, has staged a coup d'état, personally killed Empress Wei, and ordered me to kill Princess An Le and their henchmen. The entire palace has been controlled by me, and just this afternoon, the emperor has passed the throne to Li Longji's father, canonized Li Longji as the crown prince, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. - Mother, don't worry, we have made a great contribution to this coup d'état, and as an internal response, we did not cause a bloody massacre in the inner courtyard of our palace, so we will definitely be honored with respect. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was so smart, when she heard her son's words, her face couldn't help but change color, but she bit her red lip lightly, and was silent for a while, and after a while, she sighed and said, "Son, you helped your mother survive this catastrophe." ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said: "Mother, why did you say this, we were originally Li Longji's internal response, you told me so before, gave me your sword, and asked me to command the plum blossom internal guard to do the internal response, because you worked hard day after day, so I lay on the bed and fell asleep, I have completed my mother's instructions, don't worry."
