Xue Chongxun is now staying in the grove, and can only wait for the result in the midst of all kinds of emotional troubles. In the past, he was thinking of various ways to put Li Long to death, including assassin assassination, release bombs, etc., but now he can only use people and horses to fight, which is relatively convenient, fast and effective.

When training the Flying Tiger Regiment in Luoyang, he tried to ask craftsmen to make muskets, preferably sniper rifles with a range of several hundred meters, but unfortunately they were all illusions, and the flaming stick-like things made could only hit a few meters away, and the sound was quite loud, and it was estimated that it could only play a role in intimidation. Then he tried to make bombs and mines, but the practical efficiency was still low. Without the assistance of heavy weapons such as catapults, the distance is short, and if you are shot to death if you ignite a bomb and don't throw it, you will have to blow yourself up...... The power of low-grade gunpowder is not much greater than the Tang Army's conventional fire attack method, after all, it is not TNT.

Compared with the Tang Army's sophisticated various bows, swords, ballistae, and catapults, thermal weapons are stronger than them, and it is really not possible to do it in a short time.

At this time, Xue Chongxun sent two more guards into the city to contact Fang Yuzhong, who stayed in the Weiguo Mansion, to learn about the current situation in Chang'an.

Unexpectedly, the guards brought back a piece of news, which surprised Xue Chongxun: Li Longji left the mansion with the guards not long ago and went to the palace!

Xue Chongxun looked up at the sunset in the west, it was almost time for him to paint the unitary, what did he suddenly go to the palace to do? Could it be that our plans have been leaked?

Xue Chongxun led the Flying Tiger Regiment out of the Eastern Capital, with no whereabouts, everyone was very sensitive at the juncture, after this news was reported to the Prince's Mansion, it immediately attracted the attention of the strategist Wang Ju, and he advised Li Longji: I am afraid that something will happen!

More than 80 years ago, Li Er and Li Jiancheng fought for power, and at the beginning there were no more than 50 people involved in the decapitation operation, and now the enemy has 300 people out of sight...... Three hundred people is not much, but in the moment of saber rattling, a small pebble is a weight, let alone a full three hundred arms?

Since the formation of the Flying Tigers last year, there has been a clear stipulation that they are not allowed to enter Beijing, otherwise they will be punished for plotting rebellion. However, most of the guards of the southern ya, including the guards guarding the outer city, were outside Li Longji's control, and they were afraid that they would sneak into the capital division.

"How many days has that group of people been out of the East?" Li Longji asked.

Wang Ju said: "It has been four days now. We were scheduled to act early tomorrow morning...... Will it be known by the people of Taiping? ”

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said: "There are only a few of us who participated in the plot, and even my brothers didn't tell us, how to leak it...... If the Taiping had been alert and had guessed our intentions, would they have guessed that we had chosen the day of the Great Dynasty to act? ”

Choosing the time when Emperor Taishang came to the Taiji Palace, he could quickly control the situation, because the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the palace was in the hands of Li Longji; If the Emperor Taishang was in the Taiji Palace, the Xuanwu Gate that led directly to the inner court was equivalent to choking the throat of the entire center. In the past, there have been several successful palace coups in Xuanwumen...... So the timing is guessable.

Li Longji paced and said a little nervously: "If there is something in the near future, anyone will choose to ...... tomorrow" After a while, his face suddenly froze: "Let's do it now!" ”

Wang Ju hurriedly said: "If you can't take the flying cavalry camp of Qianhuamen, you can only transfer troops from Xuanwu Gate to the south." At that time, the Emperor Taishang will still be far away in Daming Palace, and we will take care of both things and things, and things will be more troublesome. ”

Considering Wang Ju's construction, Li Longji thought about it again, and finally said categorically: "I can't hesitate anymore!" Wang Maozhong, you immediately gather the cavalry of the East Palace and follow me into the palace! ”

At this time, the eunuch Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty's two younger brothers are the generals of ten thousand cavalry, and they must be notified in advance to be in case of any mistakes." ”

Anyway, it was about to be started, and Li Longji no longer worried about the leakage of the news, so he called someone to inform King Qi and King Xue, and led his army south to respond as soon as there was a rumor.

All parties were ready, Li Longji put on the soft armor and led a group of people to the palace, usually the place where he dealt with the government was the Wude Palace, so he could naturally enter at will without pressure. From the yamen of the outer dynasties to the outer court of the palace, Yiqiē still seemed calm and orderly. The sun rises and the sun sets, now the sun has set in the west, everyone has been busy for a day, are ready to wait for the next duty to go home to play with their wives and concubines, as long as the drum sounds, they will go, and they are in a good mood......

Li Longji and the others came straight to the Qianhua Gate, and Gao Lishi immediately shouted: "The emperor has arrived, where is Chang Yuankai?" Come forward and listen! ”

The general Chang Yuankai was not on duty in the camp, and when he heard the shouting, he watched it on the city tower, and saw that it was the emperor's honor guard and guards. Because he had just conspired with Princess Taiping a few days ago, he had all kinds of worries in his heart, and he was naturally puzzled, but the emperor's summoning could also be official business, so would he have to resist the decree?

Just as he was hesitating, another accomplice, Zhiyulin Li Ci, also walked up and admonished: "I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

At this moment, the burly Gao Lishi stepped forward and shouted with anger on his face: "Now that you are rich from all over the world, you want to take three hundred idle horses, and you will also obstruct and disobey the order?" Come out and face the saint! ”

Chang Yuankai was flustered when he heard this, and he replied without thinking too much: "The city gate is open, and I respectfully invite Your Majesty to enter the gate and choose a horse." ”

When Li Longji heard this, he let out a "chuckle" in his heart, knowing that the other party had already taken precautions.

Hearing this, Gao Lishi said angrily: "Bold! How dare you be so disobedient to the present day! At this time, Li Longji said: "Okay! Let's go in the door and see, how big is this General Chang? ”

Li Longji only had more than 300 horsemen around him, but there were thousands of Yulin troops in the camp, and he had the courage to make a judgment: Li Longji calmly wanted to enter the city gate; Chang Yuankai's heart was full of fear: I accidentally disobeyed the holy face just now, what if the emperor used this as an excuse to cut me when he met?

He said depressedly: "Maybe I'm really here to fetch the horse, what should I do if I offend him now?" ”

Li Ci stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I have already planned to do something big tomorrow, and now I have the opportunity, so it's better to do it in advance!" Let him in, and then we will give an order, close the city gate, order the left and right personal soldiers in front, and all the troops will gather to attack him, and cut off his head, the first credit will not be allowed! ”

General Chang Yuankai said: "The soldiers don't know, they are unprepared for a sudden change, and they are under the authority of the emperor, what should I do if I wait for an order to command and not move?" At that time, before they were in formation, their cavalry rushed over, and the victory or defeat was unknown. ”

Li Ci scolded with a look of hatred: "Guo Yi and the lieutenant are mostly people we promoted, who will listen to you if they don't listen to you?" More than 300 horsemen can still defeat us left and right Yu Linwei together? When it comes to the end, decisively! They looked down, and the emperor and his guards were really coming this way.

At this time, on the side of the city, Wang Ju couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, these people obviously have ghosts in their hearts, you can't take risks in person." ”

Li Longji said: "They don't have the courage, they will close the city gate immediately, and they are convicted of resisting the decree and plotting rebellion; There is no preparation, we can immediately turn around and leave the palace and rush to Xuanwu Gate. ”

As Li Longji expected, Chang Yuankai was in a cold sweat, turned around and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!" ”

Li Ci was stunned: "It's better to wait for them to take nearly a hundred steps and try to shoot them, why miss the opportunity?" ”

Chang Yuankai said: "How strict is it to shoot the emperor with an arrow......" and then said in a low voice, "People's hearts are unpredictable, do such a thing, aren't you afraid that there will be a general to kill us to invite merit?" ”

He insisted on ordering the gates to be closed. Li Longji immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Chang Yuankai Li Ci resists the decree and does not respect the great rebellion, and plots to rebel, and the one who is the leader is a great achievement!" ”

Chang Yuankai hurriedly summoned the generals and said: "If you want to kill me today, he doesn't have the power, he is a rebel!" There is the Emperor Taishang and Princess Taiping behind us, and the brothers will be glorious and rich if they follow me; If the rebels don't please each other, they will never end well, and there will be no place to die! ”

Zhiyulin Li Ci said: "Prepare for battle immediately!" Immediately report to the foreign dynasty and the Taiping Princess Mansion of Zhenguo! ”

When Li Longji led the crowd to turn around and run to the Chengtian Gate, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses like natives approaching him. The current few people are Xue Chongxun, as well as Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and other prime ministers.

It turned out that Xue Chongxun wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to kill Li Longji on the road, but he had a premonition that Li Longji might strike first, and he couldn't take care of everything under fear, so he immediately led his army into the city from Tonghuamen in a brazen manner.

As a result, there was no secrecy at all, and the situation in Chang'an City immediately became tense. The news spread quickly, and many shops in the East Market closed one after another, and the streets became more and more deserted. And those people who ate the imperial grain, officials and generals, most of them were just preparing, and they didn't act rashly, they were watching the fire from the other side, and they looked at the shape first.

And the Emperor Li Dan once again proved that he was not balancing, and he was powerless to control the situation at all!

...... "Flying Tigers!" Wang Ju saw the appearance of those people opposite, and immediately concluded, and then said: "The left and right ten thousand horsemen will soon be able to go south, even if they can't take the Qianhua Gate for a while, they will come from several other palace gates in the inner court to meet His Majesty, and we will wait in the palace as well." ”

Although the way out of the Taiji Palace was blocked, everyone was still relatively calm, and Gao Lishi also said: "Look at it like this, they can't effectively control the Nanya soldiers, and they can't mobilize in a short time, so we can stop this group of people practicing soil buns first...... Even if the battle is unfavorable, you can retreat to the Wude Hall and wait for reinforcements. ”

Li Longji listened to their gossip and analyzed, and he didn't say much, and he was currently riding the horse: "Xue Dalang, are you trying to rebel?" ”

Xue Chongxun said loudly: "Li San, you unfaithful and unfilial son! Relying on the left and right thousands of horsemen to force the palace, and the force of force to suppress His Majesty to pass on the throne, the emperor is already lawless, and now he wants to kill the minister of civil and military affairs beyond his authority, and the palace changes to eradicate dissidents...... Such a rebellious person, no one in the world will recognize your name! ”

Hearing that he actually called the emperor "Li San" to his face, Xiao Zhizhong and others admired his courage...... For a long time, the hierarchy has been strict and the upper and lower levels are clearly distinguished, and even the ancients who have antipathy in their hearts have few who can maintain their momentum in front of the emperor.

Li Longji was furious and shouted: "Traitor, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!" Come on, take it! ”

"Huo!" Wang Maozhong shouted, pulled out his waist knife, and all the riders raised the Mo knife in their hands. G
