Chapter 1230: Tang Palace Coup (2)
As soon as the sky was bright, outside the palace of the Son of Heaven, Li Xuanba was pacing back and forth with a heavy heart, he was so depressed that he was about to explode, he was like a tiger in captivity in a cage all these years, he has been living in the deep palace, and has never had the opportunity to send troops to fight, seeing the Zhou army advancing step by step, while the Tang army was losing and retreating, he was very anxious in his heart, he expressed to his father several times that he wanted to go to the battlefield to fight, although his father did not object, but let him wait patiently for the opportunity.

Just like that, year after year, month after month, day by day, the time that my father said never came, I heard that the Great Dispersion Pass was lost, and the emperor's uncle Li Shentong led the army to fight, but there was still no chance for him, Li Xuanba asked his father again, this time his father agreed, but he fell ill before he made a decision, which made Li Xuanba jump to his feet in a hurry.
Li Xuanba has been the general of the Imperial Forest Army since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and is actually his father's bodyguard, but in fact he does not have the ability to command the army, and the Royal Forest Army has made a mess under his command, and there have been several major defensive loopholes.
Li Yuan had no choice but to appoint Li Shenfu as the general of the Left Imperial Forest Army, although Li Shenfu was not good at fighting, but the power struggle was very good, in just a few months, he packed up several Royal Forest Army generals into obedience, he became a real general, and Li Xuanba's general existed in name only.
Li Xuanba didn't care about the gain or loss of power, he looked forward to being able to go to the battlefield and win the world, seeing that his father finally agreed to let him out, but he fell ill at this juncture, so why didn't he jump to his feet in a hurry.
The reason why Li Xuanba was anxious was that there was another secret hidden in his pocket, he received a letter from his brother Li Shimin yesterday, asking him to leave for Anding County immediately, even if his father did not agree, he could cut it first and then play, but Li Xuanba still wanted to tell his father that he did not want to act on his own like a few brothers.
Just when Li Xuanba was so anxious that he was spinning back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, a eunuch ran from the steps, it was the eunuch who had just reported to Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, does my father want to see me?" ”
"As His Highness wishes, the Holy One will let His Highness come to see him, but the Holy One is seriously ill and bedridden, so he can only say a few words and leave, and he can't disturb the Holy One's rest."
"I see."
Li Xuanba pushed the eunuch away and walked quickly towards the palace, he couldn't wait to see his father.
Li Yuan woke up before dawn, he lay calmly on the sickbed, his body looked very weak, he was originally very simple to get cold, but the imperial doctor told him that this illness caused a hidden disease in his body, so it led to the aggravation of the condition, although it caused a hidden disease, but the whole condition was not very serious, as long as he recuperated for a few days, he could recover.
Li Yuan doesn't care about the government now, there is nothing to do with his government, he only cares about Dasanguan and Longyou, Li Shentong may be able to recapture Dasanguan, but whether the people can withstand the attack of the 100,000 troops of the Zhou Dynasty makes Li Yuan worried, if the people are defeated again, then Longyou will be completely finished.
At this time, Li Yuan was very remorseful in his heart that he should not deduct the money and food of the Tang army on the right side of Longyou, although he was very dissatisfied with his second son, but he was his son after all, the army was the Tang army after all, the Tang army was not elite and strong enough, how could it resist the incomparably powerful Zhou army?
At this time, the third son, Li Xuanba, quietly walked into his room, knelt in front of him, and held his father's hand, "Father, the son is here." ”
Li Yuan slowly raised his hand and stroked his son's hair, he has so many sons who are ambitious, and the fourth son, Yuanji, shot Li Gaoqian in order to take over Jin Wuwei, when he didn't know?
Only the stupid son in front of him is loyal to himself, but unfortunately he is not smart, and sooner or later he will be played with by his brothers in the palm of his hand, and letting him leave the capital is also a kind of protection for him.
"Xuanba, you want to go to the battlefield!" Li Yuan smiled slightly.
"Erchen dreams of it, father, please believe that Erchen will turn the tide and defeat the Zhou army."
"Father has wronged you by putting you in a cage all these years."
"Father, sons and daughters are not aggrieved."
Li Yuan nodded, "Where do you want to go?" ”
"Erchen wants to go to Longyou, Pei Yuanqing attacks Xiaoguan, no one is invincible, very arrogant, Erchen wants to meet him."
"You're number one, he's number four, and you have no problem."
At this time, an imperial doctor stepped forward and whispered to Li Xuan: "Your Highness, let the Holy Lord rest!" ”
"Father, can the sons and daughters go?"
Li Yuan touched his head and said with a smile: "Go ahead!"
Li Xuanba's tears welled up all of a sudden, and he kowtowed to his father three times and turned around.
When his son walked away, Li Yuan said in a low voice: "Let the proclamator come in!" ”
Standing at the door was Zhang Qu, who was in charge of drafting the decree, and when he heard the call, Zhang Qu hurriedly walked into the hospital bed, and Li Yuan said slowly: "Spread my will, and make Li Daozong the general of the right imperial forest army." ”
........
Half an hour later, Li Xuanba was like a tiger rushing out of the cage, with an unstoppable momentum to lead three hundred cavalry out of Chang'an City, galloping in the direction of Anding County, he was afraid that his father would change his fortune, and he didn't even have time to go back to Zhao Wangfu to pack his things, so he fled from Chang'an.
However, Li Xuanba is not married at this time, and he is not dragged down by his wife and children, which is his biggest advantage and an important reason why he can go so fast.
As soon as Li Xuanba left Chang'an, someone immediately informed Li Yuanji, and at the same time, news also spread in the palace that the Son of Heaven had appointed Li Daozong as the general of the Right Imperial Forest Army.
These two successive news undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Li Yuanji, if the father appointed He Miao as the general of Jin Wuwei just to install his own people, then it is not an accident that Li Xuanba and Li Daozong came out and went in, which shows that the father emperor has been vigilant.
Li Yuanji was scared and disappointed in his heart, and he yelled at Cui Wenxiang angrily: "This is your judgment!" Now that Xuanba is coming, Li Daozong is here again, how do you explain it! ”
Cui Wenxiang's face was extremely ugly, he knew that he underestimated Li Yuan, but things were not so bad, he calmly said to Li Yuanji: "Li Xuanba couldn't control the Imperial Forest Army, so Li Shenfu seized the opportunity, the Son of Heaven just didn't want Li Shenfu to monopolize the power, so he brought Li Daozong in, but things didn't deteriorate, if the Son of Heaven was wary of His Highness, the situation would not be like this, Weichen felt that this was just the fall of the Great Dispersion Pass, and the Son of Heaven was instinctively nervous." ”
Li Yuanji's anger subsided slightly, and he asked again: "What will happen if my father is wary of me?" ”
"His Royal Highness will definitely be summoned into the palace, and then take the opportunity to imprison."
"Maybe the military advisor is right, but I've been terrified, when will it start?"
Cui Wenxiang persuaded him: "Your Highness, you must come according to the plan, calm down, and don't be impatient." ”
"But now that there has been a change, so should our plans." Li Yuanji was impatient in his heart, and finally lost his breath.
Cui Wenxiang pondered for a moment and said: "Li Daozong is not a big problem, he has just taken office, and he has not had time to control the military power, so Li Shenfu can not allow him to enter the military camp under the pretext of incomplete procedures, the key is He Miao, once His Highness acts rashly, he will inevitably report to the Son of Heaven, His Highness will be in danger, and we can't fall short." ”
Li Yuanji finally calmed down, "In the end, you have to wait for your father's disease, right?" ”
Cui Wenxiang nodded slowly, "According to the dosage of the imperial physician, the Son of Heaven will fall into a coma tonight, our chance is tonight, if His Royal Highness is anxious, you might as well change your armor first, wait patiently for a few hours, once the news comes from the palace, we can act." ”
