Chapter 805: Xuanwu Gate
Li Tang's imperial palace is called Da Nei, that is, the Daxing Palace originally built by the former Sui.
After Li Yuan became the master, it was renamed Taiji Palace, and the people and Chang'an officials also called it Jingda.
There are a total of ten gates on the four sides of the palace wall of Taiji Palace. There are five gates in the south, and the middle is the Chengtian gate. One gate on the east side. West Gate 2.
There are two gates in the north, of which the middle is slightly west is the Xuanwu Gate, and the east is the Anli Gate. Since Taiji Palace is located in the northernmost part of Chang'an City, the north wall of the palace city is the outer Guo of Chang'an City.
Because the Xuanwu Gate in the north, Anli Gate, is also the north gate of Chang'an City, its place is located in the original slope of Longshouyuan, the terrain is higher, and you can overlook the entire Taiji Palace from the Xuanwu Gate.
Therefore, according to the Xuanwu Gate, it is like having the Taiji Palace. The guarding of Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate is the top priority in the protection of the palace.
Li Yuan's royal drive returned to Chang'an from Lishan Hot Spring Palace. The royal driving party did not return to Chang'an, but entered the palace through the West Inner Garden and the Xuanwu Gate. First enter the dormitory, and then go to the Taiji Hall to convene the ministers to discuss the matter.
The 5,000 men and horses accompanying the car were led by Jing Junhong, the general of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and Lu Shiheng.
Although he did not take special precautions, Li Tang made the most thorough arrangements for the travel work of the Son of Heaven, such as the West Inner Garden, which was Li Yuan's most trusted garrison of the Beiya Forbidden Army, and this force was the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army that followed him when he started his army from Taiyuan, and belonged to Li Tang's most loyal and highest combat effectiveness.
The Northern Ya Forbidden Army was stationed near the Xuanwu Gate, and after arriving at the Daxing Palace, after being safe, Li Yuan then mobilized the Southern Ya Forbidden Army stationed in the south of the palace, which was selected from the elite of the twelve guards, and the two forbidden armies, one south and one north, ensured Li Yuan's absolute safety.
However, not all of the Nanya forbidden army are outside the palace, and it is also the Nanya forbidden army who is responsible for guarding the palace gates everywhere. And the palace guards are the left and right Qianniu guards in the Nanya Forbidden Army.
And those stationed in Xuanwu Gate today are in the Nanya Forbidden Army. Chang He, who was appointed as the general of Zuotun Weizhonglang. Chang He was originally born in the Wagang Army, and defeated Zhang Xutuo with Li Mi. Near the Xuanwu Gate, there is a garrison of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. The Xuanwu Gate guard is the Nanya Forbidden Army, and the two sides supervise each other to ensure that the Xuanwu Gate is foolproof.
Li Yuan had a little understanding of these things, and he didn't care very much, in his mind, how to deal with the conflict between the prince and the prince of Qin was the big thing, not the safety of his way back to the Taiji Palace. Since the news of Yang Wengan's incident, the prince and the king of Qin in the capital have attacked each other, and the recital of impeachment against each other has flown like snowflakes.
The prince's party attacked the king of Qin and raised his own dignity. plotted against him, this time he followed what Yang Wen did, bribing the guards of the East Palace to frame the prince.
Those who aided the prince's faction included Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Li Yuan's harem concubines took turns to intercede for Li Jiancheng, and the foreign ministers of the court had Pei Lian, and Feng Deyi tried every means to rescue Li Jiancheng. Led by Pei Lian, many Chinese courtiers spoke for Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan understood why Li Jiancheng had so many people to support him, he had been the crown prince for many years, and he had the right to supervise the country. What's more, although this son is a little cautious, he is still a good person, and he will not use the power in his hands to suppress others.
Therefore, the civil officials still hope that Li Jiancheng will inherit the throne.
As for the concerto that attacked Li Jiancheng, most of them were obviously hit by the party of King Qin who had hit Tiance Mansion. Needless to say, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and so on.
They all persuaded Li Yuan to take advantage of Yang Wengan's rebellion and abolish the crown prince. The king of Qin was renamed the prince. Even Taishi Ling Fu Yi took advantage of today's celestial phenomena to offer a message to Li Yuan. said that Taibai saw Qin, and the king of Qin should have the world.
Even Li Shimin himself went to the table to attack the prince's harem of fornication. He was not a brother and persecuted himself many times.
Li Yuan kept all these pieces in the middle, and he also knew a lot of clues through the intelligence network in his hands.
First of all, Wang Hui, who held the position of the leader in the East Palace, was taken to Dali Temple half a month ago, and under torture, he learned that the other party had been bought by King Qin, became King Qin's eyeliner in the East Palace, and sent countless news of the East Palace to King Qin.
In addition, according to the other party's confession, King Qin's eyeliner in the East Palace is far more than him.
After the defeat of Yang Wen, Wei Ting and Xu Shimo, the crown prince, persuaded Li Jiancheng to occupy the capital and send troops to start an incident. Zhao Hongzhi, the chief secretary of Zhan Shi, persuaded him to dispense with the prince's car driving uniform, remove the entourage, and go to himself to confess his guilt.
In the end, Qiao Gongshan turned himself in, so Li Jiancheng chose the latter approach.
Li Yuan is a clear-eyed person, and he can see that someone is obviously setting up a situation to make Li Jiancheng jump into it.
Who is Wei Ting, the Wei family, as a prominent family in the Guanlongmen valve, has actually already taken refuge in Li Shimin.
Li Shimin married two women from the Wei family as concubines, and the news was known all over Chang'an, and Li Jiancheng still trusted Wei Ting so much.
What kind of temper the two sons have, Li Yuan is clear, judging from Li Jiancheng's personality, as well as the wolf bรจi when he entered the Hot Spring Palace, Li Yuan judged that Li Jiancheng would definitely not rebel.
So someone definitely framed him in this matter, as for who it was, Li Yuan didn't want to think about it, he would rather blame Yang Wengan than think about it.
Regarding Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju who was in the limelight in this matter, Li Yuan had sent Qian Jiulong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Yang Shidao, the governor of Lingzhou, to lead an army to approach Yang Wengan on two roads.
If Yang Wengan knows each other, he will surrender, and if he doesn't, he will only be destroyed.
After dealing with these foreign affairs, he was exhausted, he went back to Taiji Palace this time, and summoned Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu and others, just to clarify the matter in front of the minister, on the one hand, to warn the King of Qin, what I give you, you can only ask for it, I don't give it to you, you can't rob it, you can't think about it, and on the other hand, he appeases the prince, he must have suffered if he was forced so tightly by King Qin in the past few years.
Li Yuan thought to himself, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the way of the world has been made by the most powerful people in the world, and the rules have been formulated and the latitude and longitude have been demarcated. And the order of the young and the young is the rule, this can't be messed up, even if the king of Qin is ten times more outstanding than the prince, but he can't change this rule, this is an iron law.
If everyone has the strength and wants to reformulate the rules, then there must be no chaos in the world. Yang Guang of the previous dynasty didn't think that he was ten times smarter than Yang Yong, but so what, Da Sui was ruined by his cleverness.
Li Yuan thought so, the carriage and horse had already entered the West Garden, and under the protection of the Beiya Forbidden Army, his carriage slowly drove to the Xuanwu Gate.
The door of the palace has already been opened, waiting for the Tang Dynasty and his party.
The long Son of Heaven drove in ceremony, and the tiger soldiers opened the road in front, and a general on the side of the road shouted loudly: 'The last general, Zuotun Wei Zhonglang, will Chang He pay a visit to the Son of Heaven! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! โ
Li Yuan knows the name Chang He in his heart, but he is just an insignificant little person, Taiji Palace has ten gates, and each gate has a guard on duty, it is rare for Li Yuan to hear the name.
Therefore, the name Chang He just passed by Li Yuan's ears.
