226. Palace Change (II)
As we all know, the eldest grandson Anye is the half-brother of the eldest grandson Empress and the court servant who shot the eldest grandson Wuji.
When Empress Changsun was a child, he was extremely mean and unsympathetic to Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun Wuji, and stepmother Gao.
Soon after the death of his father, Changsun Sheng, he disregarded filial piety and blood affection, and brutally and rudely drove them out of the house.
It stands to reason that in the face of such a mean and unkind brother, even if the eldest grandson queen brother and the eldest grandson Wuji do not retaliate after gaining power, it is impossible to have any brotherly affection for him.
In fact, with the rise of Li Tang, Empress Changsun and Empress Changsun Wuji became prominent celebrities in Kyoto, but instead of embarrassing the former brother, they let him follow a lot of light.
After the eldest grandson was sealed, after the eldest grandson Wuji became a scholar, Li Shimin loved the house and Wu, and in order to prevent outsiders from talking about the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji, he named the eldest grandson Anye as the general of the prison gate.
But the heart of the eldest grandson Anye can never be put down, the evil has always liked to treat people with evil, he doesn't believe that the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji can really treat him wholeheartedly regardless of the past suspicions.
He couldn't forget the destruction of Luoyang City, Li Shimin's murderous eyes when he entered the city, and he couldn't forget the indifference in the eyes of Changsun Wuji at that time, he was always worried that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun would suddenly find some reason to kill him.
For this reason, after listening to the temptation of the people sent by Li Xiaochang, he agreed almost without thinking about it.
In the eyes of the eldest grandson Anye, only when Li Shimin falls and the eldest grandson Empress and the eldest grandson Wuji are dead, can the sharp blade hanging above his head be truly eliminated.
Don't talk about the heart of the eldest grandson Anye, but after Li Xiaochang contacted the Li clan, Liu Deyu, the general of the right Xiaowei, and the general of the prison gate, Changsun Anye, he originally wanted to test the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji, who had close relations with him.
Later, after thinking about it again, I felt that these two people were Li Shimin's hardcore subordinates, and they couldn't be tempted casually, otherwise it was likely that he would be reported before the matter started.
However, although he never tried it, it was impossible for the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji not to notice his various abnormalities, but the strange thing is that these two people chose to treat themselves as if they didn't know anything.
Li Xiaochang repeatedly discussed with those he contacted, and finally decided to set the time of the uprising on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
On this day, the palace defense was the most lax, all the officials were on vacation, and the palace was busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
At this time, it is very likely to succeed if the palace change is launched suddenly. Thinking of the various benefits that everyone will get after the deed is completed, these people's hearts are boiling with blood and grinding their fists......
At this time, they all selectively forgot, and after the matter was completed, who they wanted to serve as the master, they also selectively forgot about their competitive relationship with each other, and only thought about pulling Li Er down first.
As for what to do after pulling Li Er down? Well, when the time comes, everyone will rely on their own means!
It is such a motley army formed by various interests and various careful things, plotting to pull Li Shimin down on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
At this time, the general in charge of the Left Armed Forces was Wei Chi Jingde, although Wei Chi Jingde's tactical level could not be compared with Li Jing and Li Shimin, but he was by no means an idle person, especially since he had fought for half his life, and his sensitivity to danger and troop movements was far beyond ordinary people.
If Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu and others want to launch a palace mutiny, they must have soldiers.
They are different from the King of Qin back then, Li Shimin is not the crown prince now, Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu want to kill Li Shimin with a few or a dozen people, but they will definitely not work.
Li Shimin, as the emperor, has not only personal guards but also secret guards around him, Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu want to force the palace, they must start a small-scale war, so that the need for manpower will not be a minority.
There are a lot of people needed, no matter how cautious they are, it is impossible not to show half of their feet, and with Wei Chi Jingde's sharpness and sophistication, he quickly noticed the abnormality.
However, this reckless man seems to be brave and unscrupulous, but in fact, he is coarse and detailed, after he discovered the abnormality, he did not act without authorization, but quietly informed Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, and he didn't say much, only asked Wei Chi Jingde to be careful, and at the same time, Hou Junji and Zhang Gongjin were also transferred to the palace by him and secretly deployed defenses.
However, Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Changsun Anye and others, who were conspirators, did not know anything about this, this kind of asymmetry of information, and the fact that the two sides were not at all in the same level of force ratio, Li Xiaochang's move had not yet begun, and the defeat was already doomed.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Changsun Anye and others, who knew nothing about it, got together again after breakfast and secretly discussed their departures.
Time slipped forward minute by minute, and it was nearly noon, when the nobles in the palace were having lunch, a group of about 2,000 soldiers and horses quietly sneaked into the Xuanwu Gate.
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will invite a banquet for hundreds of officials, and all officials above the fourth rank and the Li clan relatives in Beijing will enter the palace for the banquet.
For this reason, at noon, Li Shimin took his wife, Empress Changsun, and several children under his knees to Taiji Palace to dine with Li Yuan.
Entering the main hall of Taiji Palace from outside the palace, it is naturally the closest to Chengtianmen, but Chengtianmen is heavily defended, and Li Xiaochang and others dare not go here if they have the courage to do so.
And the generals of Xuanwu Gate who are on duty today have been bought by them, and for this reason, Li Xiaochang and others chose Xuanwu Gate.
But what they never expected was that as soon as the people entered the Xuanwu Gate, the gate of the Xuanwu Gate was slammed shut, and then a dense crowd of Praetorian Guards appeared around the city wall and the gate that communicated with the Linhu Palace.
The commander is none other than Zuo Wuwei General Wei Chi Jingde, and the soldiers around him are holding strong bows in their hands, and they are coldly facing these people below, just waiting for the main general to give an order, and they will shoot these people below into hedgehogs.
The people who followed Li Xiaochang in were frightened, and they almost didn't let Wei Chide make a move before they laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Wei Chi Jingde glanced at everyone coldly, walked down from the city wall, strode in front of Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu, looked them up and down a few times, and said with a smile on his face: "Just like you bears, you still want to force the palace?" It's you, Liu Deyu, you've been following Your Majesty for a long time, right? ”
"From the Qin Wangfu all the way to the present, with your merits, Your Majesty let you do the position of General of the Right Guard, I really didn't treat you badly, you actually got together with this guy, tsk, tsk, I was really surprised." Wei Chi Jingde shook more than once.
As for the eldest grandson Anye, who was already crying bitterly in fright, he didn't even look at it, in Wei Chi Jingde's opinion, the eldest grandson Anye simply lost the face of the eldest grandson family.
When my father died, he did such a rebellious and unfilial thing. When he was in Luoyang, he followed Wang Shichong to do nonsense, and when he arrived in Chang'an, His Majesty didn't treat him well in the face of the queen and the eldest grandson, and kept letting him be an official in the court, but this guy ran all the way on the road to death, and refused to turn back.
Such a person, he has been talking to him for a long time, how to deal with it is His Majesty's business, he solved this small-scale chaos, let people detain a number of major generals, and then went to report to Li Shimin.
