Chapter 194: A Long Day (6)
Li Zhanqiang suppressed his anger and said to Li Xian: "The generals ignore the family to protect the society, why should Your Highness put it to death?" At this point, it is like an arrow on the string, and it has to be sent. The ministers are powerless to dissuade the soldiers, if His Highness is unwilling to make the trip, please ask His Highness to persuade the soldiers himself! ”
Although Li Zhan was angry, he also understood that once the great success was done, this prince would be the emperor, and once he became the emperor, he might not be so cowardly, if he was too offended at this time, his own dragon skills did not need to be mentioned, maybe when the new emperor remembered his rudeness today, he would give him a pair of small shoes, so although the tone was indignant, the words were tactful.
At this time, the guards guarding the palace gate all heard Li Xian's words, and they all suddenly snorted, their eyes were red, and they could go crazy. But isn't it, Li Xian dropped the chain at this time, obviously to push everyone to death!
Seeing those eyes that were both sad and angry, Li Xian immediately understood that the matter had come to this point, and it was really irreparable, if he dared to retreat, he was afraid that these angry soldiers would be able to eat him alive. Li Xian let go of his hands and muttered, "Lonely...... I am willing to go with you, and I invite you to ...... Don't disturb the mother. ”
At this time, it was the time to race against time, Li Zhan didn't care about listening to his nonsense, and immediately waved his hand, and the two soldiers set up Li Xian and grabbed the door, and immediately a soldier brought a Taiping horse that had already been prepared, and everyone helped Li Xian to the horse, and rushed to Xuanwu Gate.
The second change in the history of the Tang Dynasty in Xuanwumen, because of the arrival of Li Xian, the indispensable protagonist, officially began!
Under the Xuanwu Gate, Yang Yuanyan, the general of the right Yulin, Xue Sixing, the general of the left Weiwei, and others and Yang Fan's thousand horsemen guarded the city, and the city gate was hidden, leaving a gap wide of one person, Yang Yuanyan and Xue Sixing were like ants on a hot pot. poked his head out from time to time to take a look, but Yang Fan was still calm.
Suddenly, a group of people and horses in the distance hurriedly came, Yang Yuanyan immediately pulled out his sword from the sheath, lowered his voice and asked for the password, Li Zhan answered the password, and said hurriedly: "The prince is here!" Under the Xuanwu Sect, all the soldiers immediately had a commotion, although no one dared to shout, but the excitement was overflowing.
Li Xian couldn't turn back at this time. Once he calmed down, he also understood that it was time to calm people's hearts, and when he saw everyone coming forward to pay respects, he stammered: "People...... All the soldiers have worked hard, and you are waiting for the country's social work today. Desperate for yourself, alone in mind! ”
Yang Yuanyan said: "Prince." Zhang Xianggong and Cui Xianggong have already led people to Yingxian Palace first. Please set off quickly, with righteousness! At that moment, he personally led the horse for Li Xian, pulled him and ran to the palace, Zuo Weiwei's general Xue Sixing said to Yang Fan: "Brother Yang, let's go quickly!" ”
Yang Fan said to Ma Qiao: "Immediately close the Xuanwu Gate, no matter who comes." Rely on the strong and never open the door! ”
"Yes!"
Ma Qiao agreed and shouted, "Close the door!" ”
The heavy Xuanwu door slammed shut and the thick latch fell. Ma Qiao and the others immediately landed in the city with weapons, and Yang Fan also carried a knife in his hand, and chased after the prince with Xue Sixing and Li Zhan......

"Open the door!"
Li Chengqi stood in front of the Taiji Palace, shouting angrily.
Accompanied by Sima Yuan Shuji and his five fully clothed sons, Li Dan, the prime minister, launched at the second and third quarters, and at this time he had rushed to the Suzaku Gate in front of the Taiji Palace, which was the base camp of the guards of the Southern Ya.
The forbidden army guarding the capital is divided into two ya, north and south, and the six guards of the forbidden army in the north are actually the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they do not need the imperial court to formally issue a transfer order, nor do they obey the imperial court's transfer order, they are directly subordinate to the Son of Heaven. The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya are the real national army, and they need to be issued by the Son of Heaven, the prime minister with seals, and the military department to survey before they can be mobilized.
Most of the guards guarding the gates of the capital are the forbidden army of the Southern Ya, mainly including the Xun Guard, Ling Guard, Strategy, Left and Right Guard, Left and Right Guard, Left and Right Xiao Guard, Prince Sanfu and Three Guards, etc., the guards and horses take turns to stay on duty, the garrison and the duty are staggered, and even the generals are interpenetrating and staggered, and the emperor is through this means of mutual inspection to avoid a certain general monopolizing power.
Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi held the golema and shouted to the guards of the Taiji Palace: "Open the door!" ”
The palace gate guards couldn't help but be shocked when they saw them fighting with open fire, and hurriedly held their guns on guard, and said in a loud voice: "Who is coming, but there is an edict from the emperor, where are the leading officials and the prison officials?"
Not everyone can enter the important military defense area rashly, to enter this important military place, you must have the emperor's edict, and use the guide officer and the prison officer to lead, those soldiers also do things according to the rules.
Li Chengqi drank "aggressively", raised his spear, and shouted: "And the state pastor, the general of the left guard, the prince of the guard, the capital of Anbei, and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister are coming, who dares to block the way." ”
The Tang Dynasty continued the Sui system, the left and right guards were the heads of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, and Li Dan, the general of the left guard, was also the supreme commander of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya, but don't look at Li Dan's series of official titles It sounds very scary, but most of the guards and horses in the capital are presided over by the general, and the position of the general is a false title, and Li Dan, the general, is even more imaginary.
But the generals understood the truth in this, and these little soldiers did not understand the reason, that is, they did not have the courage to resist the general. After just a stunned effort, Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi had already rushed to the door, probed their spears, fought with their arms, shouted "hey", picked up the two rejected horses and flew more than a foot away, and then picked up the horses and left.
Yuan Shuji, Li Longji and others took the military and military ministers of the Xiangwang Mansion, the Dianjun and dozens of the prince's personal soldiers, and escorted the Xiangwang straight into the Taiji Palace.
The generals of the guards in the Taiji Palace were awakened by the sudden sound of the drums of the generals, quickly got up, and hurried to the main hall of the Taiji Palace, and saw that the hall was brightly lit, dozens of soldiers with bright armor, holding sharp blades, arranged around the main hall, the first five young generals were wearing gold armor, and a middle-aged man in a royal robe stood solemnly behind the handsome case, and looked at it, it was the king of Xiang.
Prime Minister Li Dan stood behind the Shuai case, surveyed the commanders of the two prime ministers of the political affairs hall into one light, and said in a deep voice: "The two Zhang rebelled and held the emperor hostage. Now the north gate and the south ya, one to eliminate the traitor! Zhang Xianggong and Cui Xianggong have already escorted the prince and led Yulinwei into the palace to capture the thief, and the king was ordered by the prince to preside over the southern ya! ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. King Xiang said it well, who doesn't know that this is the emperor's opposite, but since King Xiang appears here, it should be true that the prince enters the palace, and the prince enters the palace, without Yu Linwei and Qianqi, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven in the North Gate Forbidden Army to cooperate. So......
Thinking that the Son of Heaven is old, and he is seriously ill, and his body is so weak that he can't even preside over the Spring Festival celebration, and the new monarch is inevitable, who wants to resist? What's more, the Son of Heaven has always relied on the North Gate Forbidden Army. For the Nanya Zhuwei and the queen mother, the supplies, military funds, and military salaries are far inferior to the Beiya, and the Beiya is all reversed, what loyal ministers are they filling?
These thoughts are only one aspect, and more importantly. His Royal Highness King Xiang dared to lead such a few people to receive Nanya, who knows who among these generals in the palace is already the person who has taken refuge in King Xiang? If you have any doubts. Will someone pull out a knife and cut themselves off right away?
Therefore. After King Xiang said this, the hall was silent, and none of the generals questioned it for a long time. Of course, this move has the reason why the Son of Heaven favored the forbidden army of the Northern Ya and treated the Southern Ya slowly, which made the generals of the Southern Ya resentful, but there were so many generals, and none of them came forward. It would have been impossible just a few years ago.
Wu Zetian's old age has indeed become her biggest fatal injury, and her influence, appeal, and control are all losing rapidly.
King Xiang's eyes swept left and right, and he shouted: "The ten guards of the East Palace." Dequeue! ”
The rate of the ten guards of the East Palace, that is, the rate of the prince's left and right guards (military number "superride"), the prince's left and right Siyu rate (military number "brigade ben"), the prince's left and right Qingdao rate (military number "Zhidang"), the prince's left and right prison rate and the prince's left and right internal rate. Among them, the first six rates each received three to five Zhichong Prefectures, and the last four rates only received the Inner Prefecture soldiers.
The tenth rate of the East Palace was originally the prince's pro-army, but since Wu Zetian was the queen mother, the prince's military power over the ten rates of the East Palace has been deprived. However, Wu Zetian could only deprive the prince of the military power of the East Palace Ten Rate, but he could not cancel the establishment of the East Palace Ten Rate, so the East Palace Ten Rate still retained.
But because of this, the empress's precautions against the ten rates of the East Palace are also the strictest, the treatment of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army is lower than that of the North Ya Forbidden Army, and the treatment of the East Palace Ten Rates is lower than that of other Southern Ya Forbidden Army, and the mood of the generals of the East Palace Ten Rates can be imagined, and their loyalty to the Son of Heaven is even more indisputable.
Therefore, Li Dan, the prime minister, had already ordered Sima Yuan Shuji to contact the generals of the East Palace, and Yuan Shuji did not tell them the great secret of the military advice, but only made a test to understand them and had a certain degree of certainty. At this moment, the situation is critical, and King Xiang is already a bit of a fox and a fake tiger, and only by starting with the ten rates of the East Palace can he make the fake come true.
The generals of the East Palace hesitated, and then stepped forward one after another, and when they walked out, they still looked left and right, hesitated, and once they stood in front of Li Dan, they knew that since they had this attitude, there was no way out, and they were all in line with Li Dan's movements.
"See the General!"
Li Dan said in a loud voice: "Super Ride Army, quickly follow this royal room to join the army Qiu Yue to increase the defense of the east and west cities, remember not to get close to the palace city!" ”
The general of the Chaocheng Army didn't want to retreat at this time, and among the people, he was the most inclined to Li Tang, so he agreed loudly, and saw a person walking out of Li Dan's side, and arched his hand to him: "General, please come with me!" ”
Li Dan said again: "Lu Benjun, quickly follow this Wang Gongcao to join the army, Dou Xiying assists Jin Wuwei in controlling Suzaku Street, and all parts of the capital, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach!" ”
There is a super army to agree first, and the commander of the brigade army has no scruples, and besides, the ten rates of the East Palace should have been led by the prince, and they have the strongest sense of belonging, so they readily agreed and left in a hurry with Dou Xixuan.
Li Dan said again: "Straight army, quickly follow the army of this king, control the main roads from the south city to the north city, and prohibit all weapons and men from entering and leaving!" ”
The general of the Zhidang Army respectfully agreed, and Li Dan said: "Where is the left rate of the East Palace?" ”
"The last general!"
"Quickly follow the king of Linzi, go and get Zhang Tongxiu Mansion and wait for a cadre!"
"Where is the right rate of the East Palace?"
"Quickly follow King Shouchun, go and get Wei Chengqing's people and others!"
With Li Dan's orders, the soldiers and horses of all walks of life in Nanya were mobilized, and once these people accepted the transfer, the soldiers and horses of all walks of life did not know the movements of the other horses, and the generals of the soldiers and horses could not communicate with each other, and it was even more impossible to regret and defect.
At the same time, once these people receive the order, even if they just follow the orders of King Xiang and close the camp, it is equivalent to making his position clear, Nanya, stabilize! (To be continued......)
