The Xuanwu Gate was able to enter smoothly, all the way to the Yingxian Palace, and then crashed open the gate of the Yingxian Palace, which was like a pine tower being smashed open the hard shell of the scales, peeling off the layers of difficult to peel flesh containing pine oil, zuihou revealed the crispy pine seeds, just waiting to be enjoyed by others.

The people who were entrapped by the two snares controlled the court in a pretending manner on weekdays, and even the prime minister and the princes and princesses had to go through their approval to see the empress, but at this time, when people met with swords, they were vulnerable.

Zhang Cambodia and Cui Xuanhui hugged Li Xian, Li Duozuo stood in front of them with a horizontal sword, Jinghui, Huan Yanfan and others showed their swords and rushed to the front, just break into the harem, as for those weak resistance, just clean up the soldiers they brought, they will never entangle, there is no other reason, just because the key to the success of the mutiny is to control Wu Zetian.

Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were sleeping, when there was a sudden sharp knock on the door, and a fast cronie came to their accommodation in a panic, banged on the door desperately, and shouted hoarsely: "Zhang Fengchen, something happened, someone rebelled, Zhang Fengchen!" ”

Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were awakened by the shouting, Zhang Changzong took away two slices of cucumbers from his eyes, and said in a daze: "What? Someone rebelled? ”

Zhang Yizhi reacted faster than him, he jumped off the ground, grabbed a robe and hurriedly wrapped it around his body, and didn't care about putting on his boots, so he bypassed the screen, grabbed the front and opened the door, and asked urgently: "What did you say?" Who rebelled, and where are the thieves now? ”

Zhang Yizhi's face was white and red with a layer of honey puree, which was dry at the moment, and the chapped face of the puree looked like a ghost, although the henchman who reported the news knew that his brothers had the habit of applying face beauty, and occasionally saw their face dressing, he was still startled.

The man subconsciously took two steps back. Only then did he shout: "Zhang Fengchen, it's the prince who is opposed, the prime minister is also opposed, and the forbidden army is also opposed, he ...... They ......"

Before the words were finished, a burst of exclamations and shouts came, Zhang Cambodia and the henchmen who reported the news hurriedly followed the sound, and saw several palace eunuchs fleeing into the courtyard gate in a panic, followed by a group of soldiers who were fighting with open fire, all dressed in armor. Armed with steel knives, several of them held torches, reflecting their murderous faces, some of which were splashed with blood.

Seeing that the souls of the dead were rising, Zhang Yiyi screamed: "Rebellion!" There are anti-thieves! Sage. There are anti-thieves! He pulled out his legs and fled to the residence of Wu Zetian in the main hall. The cronie shouted while chasing: "Zhang Fengchen, wait for me......"

"The thief is gone!"

Li Zhan, the regular attendant of the right scattered horse, heard the words "Zhang Fengchen". I couldn't help but move. He took off his hand and threw out the steel knife, turning the knife into a long rainbow, and penetrated from the back of Zhang Yizhi's heart with a "poof", Zhang Yizhi ran forward three more steps, and stumbled on the ground, his henchman saw this. The monster screamed and turned around and fled, but he hit his head against the wall, dizzy, and was grabbed by Xue Sixing. The knife fell in his hand, and he was neatly split in half.

At this time, Zhang Changzong put on his clothes, came out of the door in a panic, and shouted all the way: "Who is reversed, who is reversed?" Gorou, who is the opposite...... Yes! ”

Zhang Changzong ran to the courtyard, and when he saw the soldiers in the courtyard, all holding steel knives, he screamed in fright. Zhang Yizhi fled quickly, and everyone didn't see his face, but under the light of the torches, they saw this grimace monster clearly, and everyone was startled, and then they reacted.

Xue Sixing and Huan Yanfan rushed forward in unison, wanting to kill Zhang Changzong, these two people had a thought in their hearts, although this support for the crown prince to ascend the throne has the merit of the dragon, but this merit from the dragon is also big and small, whose hands the Zhang brothers died in, whose merit is naturally greater.

As a result, Zhang Changzong saw the two sharp swords coming, and his legs were so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and the two of them fell short of swords, and looked at each other for a moment.

Zhang Changzong's body was like a sifting chaff, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Generals, what crime should Changzong be punished?" But if you want to live, Changzong is willing to repay his family, and the general will spare his life! Spare your life! ”

Huan Yanfan sneered and shouted in a deep voice: "You thief bewitched the king and brought disaster to the country and the people, don't you deserve to die?" Huan is the law of the country today and the way for heaven! ”

As he spoke, he raised his sword high, Huan Yanfan's official position was higher than Xue Sixing's, and these beautiful words were also spoken, Xue Sixing couldn't fight with him anymore, so he could only watch Huan Yanfan slash down with a sword and cut Zhang Changzong's head to the ground.

Among these people, regardless of civil officials and military generals, most of them are proficient in bow and horse, but when it comes to foot combat skills, none of them can compare to Yang Fan, if Yang Fan wants to compete for merit, with his skills, none of these people can rob him, but Yang Fan followed behind the prince Li Xian, and he didn't even pull out a knife.

Today is to protect the prince and punish the two zhang, if the prince has a good character, then the fun will be great. It is a matter of life and death, Yang Fan naturally can't let the prince have any mistakes, so he always follows the prince and protects him.

As for grabbing merit, one is that he wants the interests of the entire heir hall, and the interests of the heir hall are his interests, as for his personal power and fame, if he suddenly rises, there is a danger that he will not be able to overcome the cold. Second, although he and Erzhang used each other, after all, they had never torn their faces, and asked him to do it himself, but he couldn't do it.

Inside the emperor's bedroom, Wu Zetian was old and light, and the voices outside were mixed, which had already woken her up, and Zhang Yizhi's scream before his death was heard by her clearly, Wu Zetian's heart tightened, and he stood up and shouted: "Hurry up and hold the lamp!" Who is in trouble? ”

There are palace ladies in the dormitory who wait all night, and the lights are also left behind, and those palace ladies hear the sound outside, and they are also panicked like ants on a hot pot, just waiting by the side of the Son of Heaven, they have long been accustomed to doing things according to the rules, and they dare not act without orders, at this time, when they heard Wu Zetian's orders, they hurriedly lit several lamps in the hall one by one, and then quickly retreated to Wu Zetian's side.

Although the Son of Heaven is weak, he is still like a mountain and an abyss in their hearts, and he is still a powerful and invincible existence.

At this time, the eunuch of Yingxian Palace ran in tremblingly, and as soon as he came in, he fell to the ground, although Wu Zetian was wearing a sparse pale hair and a small white coat, not like he was usually dressed in a grand and majestic manner, but he was still not angry: "Who is making trouble." Say! ”

The Yingxian Palace supervisor knelt on the ground and just kowtowed, his forehead hit the ground and thumped, and he didn't even dare to answer a word.

Wu Zetian was furious, and he was waiting to ask again, as soon as the door curtain was lifted, Li Duozuo, Li Zhan, and Xue Sixing had already broken in with bloody knives, and their eyes swept around sharply, seeing that there was no threat in the palace, only then did they flash left and right, and Zhang Cambodia and Cui Xuanhui helped the prince to break in. He was followed by a large number of Yulin generals such as Jing Hui, Xue Sixing, and Yang Fan.

As soon as they saw that there was no danger in the room, Li Duozuo and others took away the knife and saluted Wu Zetian solemnly with Zhang Cambodia and others. When he boarded, he was numb, and when he saw the crowd saluting. That's when I came to my senses. The hurry also followed, but although the reaction was fast, it was half a beat slower after all.

Wu Zetian saw it, a trace of contempt flashed in a pair of old eyes, and he said, "Are you making trouble?" ”

“bixia！”

Zhang Cambodia solemnly waved at Wu Zetian and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong rebelled. The ministers were ordered by the prince to be punished for two rebellions, for fear of leakage, so they did not dare to predict it. Now it depends on the spirit of our ancestors. The second reverse ambush, the ministers and others know that they are forbidden by the military palace, and the crime deserves death, and they apologize to Bixia! ”

Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel miserable when she heard the words "two reverses and ambushes", and her breathing suddenly became short, she took a few breaths, suppressed the excitement in her heart, cast her sharp gaze on Li Xian, and said coldly: "Xian'er, hello!" You've really grown up, and your wings are stiff! ”

Li Xian's body trembled, and as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The child is guilty!" ”

Wu Zetian snorted coldly and shouted, "Since the Zhang brothers have been ambushed, what are you still standing here for?" Don't go back to the East Palace soon! ”

Li Xian hurriedly said: "Yes! Child, this is ......"

"Wait!"

Zhang Cambodia shouted loudly, interrupted Li Xian's words, and arched his hand: "Bixia! The prince can't return to the East Palace again! Emperor Bixia has entrusted his beloved son to Bixia for more than 20 years. The ministers do not forget the kindness of Taizong and the emperor, and sacrifice themselves to forget their homes to serve the prince to beg for thieves. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. The so-called everyone was stunned, and even Cui Xuanhui, Li Duozuo, Jinghui, Wang Tongjiao, Yang Fan and others were stunned, because this was not what they originally agreed on. Yang Fan said in his heart: "Zhang Cambodia is really an old fox, and I am also in his way!" ”

Huan Yanfan said loudly: "What Zhang Xianggong said is reasonable, the prince is now old, and the hearts of the people of heaven have been returned to the prince for a long time. Please Bixia pass on the crown prince, the upper should be the world, and the lower will be in line with the people's will! ”

Fang Cai Zhang Khan said, everyone was stunned, only Huan Yanfan was calm, his face did not change, at this time it was he who responded first, Yang Fan's heart flashed: "This decision should have been planned by the two of them in advance!" ”

At this time, everyone suddenly understood: Zhang Cambodia is to let this group of ministers who support the prince and break into the palace occupy the lion's share of the dragon's work!

According to their prior plan, the emperor will be put under house arrest tonight, and the soldiers who participated in the mutiny tonight will be closely guarded, and tomorrow they will publicly announce that they will be punished by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and then use the name of the Son of Heaven to purge Erzhang's dead friends. After a month or two, let the Son of Heaven Zen be in the prince.

In this way, shocks in the court can be avoided to the greatest extent, and the various factions can also use this time to fully coordinate their relations with each other, to put it bluntly, to distribute political interests. But right now, Zhang Cambodia suddenly forced Wu Zetian to hand over power, so that the biggest credit would naturally be enjoyed by their group of people.

King Xiang, who maintained law and order in Jiucheng, and Princess Taiping, who was working with Shangguan Wan'er to maintain and pacify the order in the palace, naturally also had credit, but compared to those of them who directly supported the crown prince's ascension to the throne, after all, they were one layer worse, not to mention the Wu family, this is to squeeze out relatives, imperial relatives, and establish vassal power!

As soon as they figured out this, all the civil and military forces immediately rushed forward and said in unison: "May Bixia pass on the crown prince, the upper should be the heart of heaven, and the lower will be in line with the will of the people!" ”

Wu Zetian looked at them coldly, and when he saw Li Zhan, Wu Zetian was a little surprised: "Li Zhan, I don't treat your father and son well, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." ”

Li Zhan lowered his head in shame, Wu Zetian looked at Cui Xuanhui again, and said: "The prime ministers next to him are all promoted by me, only you are selected by me personally, I didn't expect you to appear here today." ”

The prime minister is the prime minister, whether it is adaptability or psychological quality, it is not comparable to Li Zhan, Cui Xuanhui replied with righteousness and awe: "It is precisely because Bixia has the grace of appreciating and promoting the minister that the minister will not hesitate to repay the son of heaven with his life!" The minister thinks that punishing the traitor and protecting the prince is the best way to repay the Son of Heaven and serve the court! ”

Wu Zetian was so angry with him that he was a little dizzy, and hurriedly supported the bed with one hand and his forehead with the other, so that he could calm his mind and avoid fainting. Seeing this, Zhang Khan immediately leaned down and knelt down, and said loudly: "Thank you Bixia Enzhun!" ”

"You ......, cough cough cough ......"

Wu Zetian pointed at Zhang Cambodia angrily, coughed violently, his face was swollen red, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Cui Xuanhui, Li Duozuo and others immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Xie Bixia Enzhun!" ”

Yang Fan also knelt down with everyone, looking at the angry, helpless, haggard, and desperate Wu Zetian, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw the empress, that year, that day, that time ......, like a dream! (To be continued......)
