There are two personal guards of the Tang Emperor: "100 dragoons, 80 golden swords". "Hundred dragoons" was born from the "hundred horses" created by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, one hundred and twenty-five people, one person from the five products of the Lang general, one person from the five products of the military envoy (the inner servant of the young eunuch Pang Huaijian), one person from the six products of the army, two people from the seventh grade of the school captain, divided into five teams, each team set up a team of one person, one deputy of the team, and ten people. Select the sturdy soldiers in the forbidden army who are innocent, skilled in bows and horses, and brave and loyal.

The "Eighty Golden Sword" is an infantry guard, which is forbidden to drive with the palace, and after leaving the palace, it shares the camp guard with the dragoon guard. In fact, there are one hundred and two people in the Golden Sword Guard, one general from the fourth grade, one military envoy from the fourth grade, one person from the sixth rank to join the army, and nine military captains from the sixth grade, with nine teams, ten people in each team, and one team officer.

Different from the dragoon guards, in addition to the main generals, the commanders and captains of the supervising army are all eunuchs, and four of the officers of the ten teams are eunuchs, of which all the soldiers of the three teams of heaven, earth and man are eunuchs. In this way, it is ensured that wherever the emperor is, the golden sword guard can follow. Even if the emperor and his favorite concubine talk about life and ideals in bed, there will be a golden sword guard standing outside the three zhangs.

Liao Guang, the general of the dragoon guard, and Ding Tong, the general of the Golden Sword Guard, are all Wang Shoucheng's confidants and favorite generals.

Wang Shoucheng didn't expect that the inconspicuous polo match in front of Hanguang Hall would be a well-laid trap, and what was even worse was that he fell into it unconsciously.

The moment Li Ang fell, Wang Shoucheng was extremely nervous, the emperor fell and injured him, naturally he could not escape the involvement, and the chaos on the court was an excellent opportunity for the conspirators to carry out their conspiracy. Therefore, after a period of time after Li Ang's fall, Wang Shoucheng did not rush forward, he watched coldly under the stands, and standing beside him were the three most trusted eunuchs in the Golden Sword Guard.

It turned out to be a false alarm! When the emperor returned to play, Wang Shoucheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He began to wonder what kind of program to arrange after the competition, the orchid dance? I'm tired of watching it; A feather coat? It's too much of a toss; Watching the palace maids bow, they have already played this morning......

It's really hard to get an entertainment program that is both novel and chic, and that suits the emperor's heart.

"Silla juggling." At the moment when the competition was suspended, Wang Shoucheng suddenly thought of this program: it has been a month since the jugglers of Silla Kingdom arrived in the capital, and they have not been summoned, although the remote and small country cannot come up with anything decent, it is a new thing. I'm tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so I can change my mouth by eating wild vegetables.

Wang Shoucheng excitedly reported his thoughts to Li Ang, who was resting on the intermission, and before he could say a word, a shout came from outside the tent: "There are assassins!" ”。 Yingwang Li Yan snatched a long knife from the guard's hand and escorted Li Ang to retreat to Hanguang Palace, his movements were decisive and fast, and he was one step faster than Ding Tong, the general of the Golden Sword Guard.

Wang Shoucheng still doesn't think it's anything strange, King Li Yan can be literate and martial, and his talent is far above Ding Tong.

The court was in a mess, and in addition to the two guards of Jindao and Jinwu, there were also 28 players from Shenlong and Feiying (in the official game, seven people from each team, and the rest were substitutes).

As for King Ying's choice to retreat to the Hanguang Palace, Wang Shoucheng didn't think it was strange, the assassin was mixed in the crowd and the situation was unknown, and it was necessary to isolate the emperor. Hanguang Hall is the closest to the stadium, and the main hall is surrounded by open space with a wide view, where there are forty guards stationed at the prison gate, equipped with bows and arrows, which is convenient for defense.

Because the emperor wanted to be fortunate at the stadium, Wang Shoucheng temporarily transferred another 120 Jinwu soldiers to garrison. The commander Zuo Zhonghou Yu Yang is his confidant.

Everyone escorted the emperor and hurried to the high platform of the main hall, but no one came out to greet him, and the door of the Hanguang Hall was strangely opened and closed.

Li Ang asked in horror: "Wang Shoucheng, where are the soldiers you are talking about?" Wang Shoucheng was confused, the two guards together were more than 160 people, could it be that all of them died at the hands of the assassins?

"Ding Tong, quickly send someone to investigate."

Before Ding Tong could answer, Li Yan, the king of Ying, shouted: "Ding Tong, you go in person!" ”

Ding Tong didn't know who to listen to, Wang Shoucheng weighed it and nodded at Ding Tong: Which of the Golden Dao Guards is not his cronies? What is one less buty?

Ding Tong led the "herringbone team" into the main hall, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response for a long time.

Li Yan was anxious and shouted, "What a stupid person! Your Majesty, my brother is willing to explore the road again. Li Ang was about to agree, but Wang Shoucheng hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you be in danger?" After that, he gave Lin Wudong, the envoy of the prison army, a look, and said, "You go to explore the road again." Lin Wudong led the "Dizi Team" to quietly approach the temple gate, but he was not in a hurry to enter the palace.

A soldier struck the door of the temple with the hilt of his sword, only to hear a pop, sawdust flew wildly, and a feathered arrow broke through the door, piercing the soldier's body, without diminishing its force, and piercing through the pillars. Lin Wudong roared: "There is an ambush, go quickly!" After saying that, he ran down, and as soon as his right foot was raised, he was hit by three arrows in the back of his heart, and fell to the ground and died.

"Escort! Come on. Wang Shoucheng screamed, dragging Li Ang away. Leon wanted to shake off his hand, but he was too nervous to succeed. shouted: "Emperor brother save me!" Hearing this, Li Yan swung a knife and chopped Wang Shoucheng's arm, Wang Shoucheng was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his hand, turned around and ran, but was pulled by the polo method Yuming and Qi Mo left and right, and the two worked together to set him up and slammed him to the ground. Wang Shoucheng is old and in poor health, and he only feels dizzy and dizzy after being beaten by this, and he can't slow down for a long time.

Duan Yuming and Qi Mo took the lead, and all the polo players drew their swords one after another to surround the soldiers of the "Tianzi Team". The other six teams of the Golden Sword Guard and Cao Haogu, who joined the army, stood by and watched, not only did not save them, but persuaded them: "Wang Shoucheng misled the country with power, and today he has received retribution." Don't be obsessed. When they heard this, they had no choice but to abandon their weapons and join them.

Wang Shoucheng wept bitterly and wept in a wailing voice: "What's wrong with the old slave, Your Majesty wants to kill the old slave?" Li Ang sneered, "You're right? You plotted to assassinate me, don't think I don't know. ”

Wang Shoucheng was still waiting to be defended, only to see a group of people rushing out of the hall, led by Zheng Zhu, the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry, holding the head of Ding Tong, throwing it to the ground, shouting: "The traitor Ding Tong has confessed his guilt and ambushed him, this is his confession, General Wang, do you want to see for yourself?" "Wang Shoucheng used to be a general of the Hussars from the first rank, and some sycophants of foreign dynasties called him a general.

Wang Shoucheng sighed and said, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add. Zheng Note villain, you can't die well. "Shut your eyes and say nothing.

Li Ang was in a good mood and asked Zheng Note: "Aiqing, what should be the next step?" ”

"Please Your Majesty quickly summon hundreds of civil and military officials to the Xuanzheng Palace to discuss matters."

"What's the matter?"

"Wang Shou clarified that he had a meritorious role in eliminating adversity, and promoted the left and right gods to observe the army and the army."

Li Ang was stunned when he heard this, thought about it, and understood that this was a plan to rise and fall secretly and stabilize people's hearts. So he laughed and said: "The internal minister has made great contributions to the society, although there are small mistakes, the flaws are not hidden, and they should be promoted." ”

Li Yanzuo asked: "Brother Chen has something to say. ”

"The emperor's brother has something to say."

"Although Wang Shoucheng has bowed his head, the situation in Daming Palace is still unclear. The younger brother thought that it was not appropriate to return to the palace for the time being. ”

"Daming Palace is the foundation of the dynasty, how can the divine dragon be separated from the water?" Zheng Zhu sneered, he and Li Yan have always been at odds.

"How can Your Majesty's golden body be in danger?" Li Yan said quietly.

"Okay, don't fight, I will stay in Hanguang Palace, and wait for Qiu Shiliang to have news, and then go back to Daming Palace."

"Brother Huang, it seems to be Princess Yichun." Li Yan saw two people running towards this side and recognized one of them as Li Qing, the princess of Yichun.

"It's her, alas, who is that person next to her......" Li Ang also recognized Li Qing, but he didn't know Yang Hao.

"Not good! Dragoon! Wang Chun, the eunuch who was with him, suddenly screamed.

In the northwest corner of Hanguang Palace, a team of cavalry suddenly killed, freshly dressed and angry horses, brocade clothes and golden helmets, which were the famous dragoon guards.

"Escort!" Li Yan guarded Li Ang with a knife. Everyone hurriedly withdrew to the main hall. Li Ang's forehead was full of cold sweat: if he followed Zheng Zhu's advice, wouldn't he be on the way back to the palace at this time, facing the powerful dragoon guards, how could these people around him keep themselves safe?
