******
As soon as Gao Xu's words came out, everyone understood why he, who had always been silent in battle, would ask and answer so much with his concubine.
In all fairness, although because of Gao Xu's rewriting of the plot in the Luoyang and Shibi incidents, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not have the senses in the original plot for Shi Fei Xuan, but it was still impossible for them to be ruthless and destroy the flowers.
And because of Shuanglong's personality, feelings are far greater than rationality, although they are of the same mind as Gao Xu, but these days, some of Gao Xu's methods have also been criticized, and they feel that they are not above board enough.
It's good now, compared with Concubine Xuan's extremely strange point of view, Gao Xu is as pure as a little sheep, as mentioned before, when Concubine Xuan puts her own ideals above everything else, takes sacrificing others for granted, and uses ideas to assimilate each other as a necessary means, she has actually fallen into the devil...... Demons!
This is the most disgusting place of Shi Fei Xuan, when the young marshal's army wanted to take Bashu, Shi Fei Xuan first brought out Fan Qinghui, used Xie Hui to say to Li Shimin, and then forced Kou Zhong by force, and the soldiers made Bashu neutral, and said these words to Xu Ziling: "No matter how many reasons there were to help your brother Kou Zhong in the past, all these reasons have become the past, and the world has become a two-way situation, Ziling Please do not intervene in the dispute between Concubine Xuan and the young marshal." ”
You must know that Concubine Xuan had vowed to return to Cihang Jingzhai before. No longer asks about the world, as soon as he saw that the young marshal army wanted to subdue Li Tang, he immediately went out of the mountain, and even used the love between men and women, and the sprinkling of women, and he was embarrassed to let Xu Ziling not intervene in the dispute between her and Kou Zhong, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Ziling, who grew up with Kou Zhong, became an outsider? Slippery world!
It's useless to just have a good skin. Being brainwashed by religious beliefs when I was a child can be described as a misfortune from birth, but I don't know it. When you don't have a preconceived feeling, see how others react!
Sure enough, after a few breaths, Kou Zhong, Ba Fenghan, and even Xu Ziling, who had been taught the nine-character mantra by the master of Buddhism, all looked away and dealt with the enemy wholeheartedly, obviously seeing through the face of the master concubine and completely giving up on it.
The concubine sighed sadly, revealing a gloomy look, and then returned to tranquility.
Note. She is not ashamed of this gloom. But she didn't convince Gao Xu to feel extremely disappointed, as for life and death, she had already put it out of the way, if she could exchange her life for Li Shimin to ascend the throne and save all the people in the world from fire and water, she would not hesitate to commit suicide!
Who expected that after a breath, Gao Xu's voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart, and he said a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Is Hou Xibai okay?" ”
The concubine was stunned for a moment, and the thought in her mind turned. His face changed irrepressibly, and he only heard Gao Xu continue: "These days, the Yin Sect and Anlong's Heavenly Lotus Sect have been searching for Hou Xibai's whereabouts in Chang'an City, but they have found nothing, so I speculate whether he was arranged as Shi Zhixuan's pawn to ...... Went to the palace?? ”
"Hou Xibai respects you as a goddess, how will you react when you hear that I am going to kill you???
"Not good!" As soon as Gao Xu's words fell, the faces of Shi Fei Xuan and Shi Zhixuan changed suddenly, the former was reminded to know Gao Xu's plan to count birds with one stone, and the latter was swept away from the corner of his eye, witnessing the white figure leading the team to rush out, so angry that he almost scolded!
"Demon, Hugh has to hurt Concubine Xuan!!"
The amorous son Hou Xibai, Yu Yan appeared to protect the flowers, followed by hundreds of Li Tang masters such as You Chuhong and Dugu Injury, named the Evil Team!
The best hole card for the Buddha and Demon Alliance to deal with the Holy Son!!
Such an untimely appearance completely disrupted the original Jihua!!
Although Shi Zhixuan himself has planted a heel on a woman, and it is a big heel, his heart at the moment is still full of hatred for iron and steel, and he secretly hates how to cultivate such a thing that cannot be forgotten~~
At the same time, Shi Zhixuan also understood that the general trend had gone - Gao Xu had already known about the existence of the evil team!
The composition of the evil team sounds very awesome, and five hundred Li Tang masters are selected, led by the first masters of the two valves of Dugu Valve and Yuwen Valve, to practice the art of joint attack, and vow to kill the evil demons!
In fact, except for You Chuhong and Dugu Injury, the two second-difficulty elementary plot characters, the rest of the members of the evil team are all at the first difficulty level, and even the peak of the first difficulty is very rare, fortunately, the upper limit of the difficulty of Datang Shijie is there, and there is no one who is against the third difficulty characters of the first army, and they are still a force that cannot be ignored!
In the original Jihua, the two sects of Buddha and Demon joined forces to fight against the Holy Son Gao Xu, and when the strength of both sides was exhausted, and both sides were defeated, it was the time when the evil team appeared.
Not to mention, if Hou Xibai, the new commander of the evil team, can calm down and reach the most critical moment to attack, it is really unknown who will kill the deer!!
It's a pity that Gao Xu found Hou Xibai's death hole, and the conversation not only strengthened the decision of Shuanglong and Bafenghan, but also successfully led Hou Xibai out!!
As for killing Shi Feixuan, it was a complete false shot......
Just kidding, the concubine Xuan is annoying again, and she is also the protagonist of the plot, with the protagonist's luck and body, if there is no specific plot guidance, once you die shijie will collapse, and the fool will destroy his home shijie in order to have a refreshing heart!
Gao Xu's acting skills are too exquisite, and even the guilt and the progress of martial arts are involved, which makes everyone convinced, in fact, I don't want to let the concubine Xuan stir up trouble between the shili, it's very simple, subvert the Tang Dynasty, let her go back to Cihang Jingzhai to eat and pray for the Buddha, Gao Xu doesn't believe it, when Li Shimin is finished, and the shocking scandal comes out, what kind of face does Buddhism have to continue to support other shili!
It's just that often things don't develop as expected, Gao Xu feels that after a few years, letting Concubine Xuan see with her own eyes that the people without Li Shimin can still live a healthy life is the loudest mouth. Killing with a sword is only a strategy, but ...... Concubine Xuan's persistence, will she let go of herself?
Getting back to the point, as soon as Hou Xibai and the evil team came into view, Gao Xu was also slightly relieved, knowing that the situation was completely under control, and the evil team was dispatched. It represents a drastic reduction in the protection of Liliang by Li Yuan's side!
Thinking of this, Gao Xu looked back into the distance......
Li Tang Palace, shout to kill the heavens!!
The soldiers are murderous. Soar into the sky!!
******
Yu Chi Jingde, who was lying on the ground, slowly closed his eyes and swallowed a breath of zuihou, but his face was full of relief.
Able to support the eldest grandson Wuji to lead troops to come to the aid and protect Li Shimin from rushing in the direction of Taiji Palace, he ...... Death is also blind.
I have to say that in addition to the eldest grandson Wuji, who is overly scheming and wants his sister to become the queen, all the civil servants and fierce generals in Tiance Mansion can be called heroes and heroes, and they died in the civil strife in the palace. It's a pity!
However, it was a period of change of dynasty. There are so many heroes and heroes, any person in the world, the advantages and disadvantages of his body, the broadness and narrowness of his heart, the generosity and filth of his affairs all coexist, then some of them can become the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and some of them will bear the infamy of the ages, and they will be spurned by future generations, everything ...... It's up to you to see if you're on the right side!
The one who becomes is king. The loser is the loser!
Throughout the ages, this has been the case!
For example, Li Jingtong, who was mythologized as the king of Tota by the people in the late Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that in this time and space, he will not be one of the four great heavenly kings of Buddhism in the future, the king of the north Duowen Heavenly King, but the incarnation or subordinate of the demon king Bo Xun......
Li Jing didn't care so much, he was already discouraged, and his self-blame filled his mind, thinking that he had harmed Li Shimin by advocating for his own actions, until the signal of the eldest grandson Wuji came!
In this coup, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion were divided into two routes, one way to intercept the crown prince Li Jiancheng at Xuanwu Gate, to exterminate the Changlin army, and all the way to break into the deep palace, control Li Yuan as much as possible, and obtain the dragon and tiger talismans.
Since discovering that even the Xuanjia elite soldiers of Tiance Mansion are difficult to mobilize, Li Jing actually does not have much hope for the actions in the palace, more than eighty percent of the elites of Tiance Mansion are gathered in Xuanwu Gate, and only the eldest grandson Wuji and Duan Zhixuan, two famous ones who are responsible for sneaking up on Taiji Palace...... It's not so much about breaking in, it's about stealing!
Dead horses should be live horse doctors!!
Who knows that to this day, what saved their lives, and maybe even played a role in turning things around, was the battle of the palace ban!!
"Mowgli!" In view of this, Li Jingfu, who has always had some complaints about the unscrupulous methods of the eldest grandson Wuji, shouted in a gaffe as soon as he saw him, especially looking at the tiger talisman in the palm of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was even more surprised.
On the contrary, Li Shimin, who stared at the tiger talisman that was crucial and could command the foreign garrison system, the despair in his eyes was a little stronger.
"Tiger Talisman? Hey, a group of rebels, they dare to even touch their father's tiger talisman! Soon, Li Yuanji approached proudly surrounded by a group of subordinates and generals, glanced at the tiger talisman, and mocked disdainfully, "It's really stupid, if you want to steal it, you should also steal the dragon talisman, and then command the forbidden army in the palace, maybe you can die and struggle for a while......
"Who said Bixia didn't give the dragon talisman?" Unexpectedly, before Li Yuanji's victorious nonsense was finished, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly took out a talisman engraved with the shape of a dragon from his arms, and raised it high alongside the tiger talisman.
Li Yuanji and the others were stunned for an instant, especially Lu Shiheng.
You must know that the dragon talisman can command the forbidden army in the palace, and the tiger talisman can command the foreign military system, and the two talismans are co-executed, so if they control the two major military systems inside and outside the palace in Chang'an Palace, how important is it?
Due to the frequent transfer of the tiger talisman, if the Tiance Mansion plays conspiracy, it can still steal, but the dragon talisman has always been carried by Li Yuan, even if it is a lucky concubine, it is within sight, it can be seen that it is cautious, it should be impossible for the Tiance Mansion to get, it is completely impossible!
"Unless, Li Shi...... What His Royal Highness King Qin did in Xuanwu Gate was acquiesced by Bixia? With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Lu Shiheng only felt that his scalp was numb, and his hands and feet were cold.
Lu Shiheng was not Li Yuanji's person, if it were, Tiance Mansion would not be defenseless against him, the reason why he suddenly threw himself at Li Yuanji was that he was extremely disgusted and repulsed by Tiance Mansion's despicable behavior of blackmailing his family, and secondly, Li Yuanji coincidentally came to visit secretly last night and rescued his family quickly!
After all, Chang'an is the nest that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have worked hard to manage, and Tiance Mansion is not used to using inferior means. Lu Shiheng naturally will not miss the great opportunity to quell the rebellion and get promoted to make a fortune!
It's a pity that he didn't have insight into Li Yuanji's thoughts, and it wasn't until Li Yuanji waited for Li Jiancheng to die in the hands of Li Shimin that he was "late", and Lu Shiheng realized that he was used by Li Yuanji, but as soon as Li Jiancheng died, he was already difficult to ride a tiger. Only go to the black with Li Yuanji!
Lu Shiheng, who was deceived twice, was quite a little ungodly in his heart, and he was afraid that Li Yuanji would not succeed for a while, and he would be unlucky. After a while, he was afraid that Li Yuanji would succeed in killing him, an insider, so that at this time he actually came up with such a ridiculous idea.
In fact, as long as you calm down, calm down, and think about it carefully, you will know that it is impossible for Li Shimin to get Li Yuan's approval, otherwise there is no need for Tiance Mansion to play those tricks that cannot be put on the table, but Lu Shiheng is indeed in a big mess, plus Li Shimin's previous reputation is really good, choose between Li Shimin and Li Yuanji. He still prefers the former.
The next moment. An incident that even the eldest grandson Wuji did not expect made Lu Shiheng make up his mind:
Dozens of nearly 100 palace guards, armed with crossbows, poured out from all sides like a tide, forming three horizontal rows of kneeling, half-squatting, and standing upright, and the arrows were aimed at Li Yuanji and others, and at the same time, there were guards on the left and right sides of the wall, all holding arrows and crossbows, blocking the way to escape!
The situation changed in an instant. Li Yuanji's men and horses were surrounded by many people, Li Yuanji was shocked and angry, and pointed at Li Shimin and said: "You are so daring, Li Shimin, you killed your eldest brother, you are crazy, and now you dare to falsely spread the will of your father, it is simply a thousand deaths!" ”
This is really a bit contradictory, because the responsibility for killing the prince is obviously much greater than the false transmission of the holy decree, it can be seen that Li Yuanji is also panicked, but he doesn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji is also inexplicable, because after he obtained the dragon talisman by chance, he still hasn't had time to give the order, how can the guards arrive, and quickly occupy the favorable terrain?
However, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that on the occasion of the life-and-death duel between the two sides, he must make a confident appearance and boost morale, so he shook the jade flute gently, that dusty posture, without half a point of tension, free and easy as if he had come to a meeting of literary friends, but the words in his mouth were aggressive and unmatched: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi should know that the overall situation has been decided, why bother to make senseless resistance, abandon the weapon and surrender, you are not the prince, you have not conspired with the demon Gao Xu, and you want to subvert my Li Tang Qianqiu, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will not treat you badly!" ”
"Joke, since the moment he shot my eldest brother with his own hands, he is no longer my brother!" Li Yuanji sneered, squinted at the defeated remnants of the Tiance Mansion, regained his lofty style, pointed at the sky from afar, and shouted, "Kill the enemy with Gu and rescue my father!! ”
Qin Wutong, Diao Ang and other masters of the rivers and lakes suddenly agreed, followed by the archers who rushed up and used light skills to clean up the wall, however, Lu Shiheng, who was bluffed by the eldest grandson Wuji's pretended calm posture, did not move, and after a complicated struggle, he suddenly ordered, turned the head of the gun, and rushed towards the dazed Li Yuanji and his party!
As soon as Lu Shiheng's decision to make meritorious service was made, coupled with the encirclement of the forbidden army, the direction of the wind on the field changed again, and it became evenly matched, and whichever side wanted to win, it had to pay an extremely tragic price!!
The same is true of the ending, this is the follow-up stage of the Xuanwu Gate Change-the bloody battle of Taiji Palace!!
******
"Hmm! Not! Not! ”
The sound of fierce fighting outside the palace vaguely drifted into his ears, and Li Yuan, whose face was so pale that it was terrifying, leaned on the dragon chair, and looked at the hunched back and respectful figure in front of him with anger mixed with pleading.
This man was a eunuch, of medium stature, in his fifties, not outstanding in countenance, and his eyes were even more listless and dull, as if he could not arouse the slightest interest in what he saw, and was completely indifferent.
However, those who know the deeds of this Duke Wei know that this is an extremely clever disguise, because he served Yang Jian in the old Sui Dynasty, and then followed Yang Guang, and was the head of the eunuch with the strongest martial arts in the Sui Palace.
It's a pity that Li Yuan is old and dizzy after all, and he doesn't know anyone, Wei's father-in-law's real name is Wei Lianxiang, and he is a veteran of the Yin Sect, and he is only under Zhu Yuyan in terms of strength, when it comes to patience, he can hide in the Forbidden Garden of the Deep Palace for so many years. It's terrifying!
Just like the original plot, as soon as Gongfu Wei made a move, Li Yuan fell into the way, and was controlled without accident, and then the dragon and tiger talisman fell into the hands of Gonggong Wei, and after mobilizing the guards, he found an opportunity to "reward" the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji, who didn't know the truth, really thought that his brother-in-law Li Shimin was the true dragon of the Mandate of Heaven and had the protection of God the moment he got the two talismans!
At this moment, the two brothers, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, are fighting to the death outside. In the hall, Gonggong Wei looked at Li Yuan with a smile and waited quietly.
After a long time, Elder Xia, who was pretending to be a palace maid, swept in and reported: "The entire army of Tiance Mansion has been annihilated, Li Yuanji has been killed by my sneak attack, and Li Shimin has surrendered...... It's over! It's over!! We did it!!! ”
Li Yuan's body trembled violently when he heard this, he looked up at the roof beam, tears rolled in his eyes, and his face suddenly seemed to be countless years old. Pathos to the extreme.
At this moment, Gonggong Wei stepped forward to unlock Li Yuan's acupoint. Let this Tang Emperor be able to speak, his demeanor is still so humble and respectful, and he said: "Bixia has thought about it, promised the kindness of the Holy Son, recruited generals from all over the country to return to Beijing, and ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to gather outside the Taiji Palace, in order to deal with the Turkic army that is eyeing the Central Plains, and hold an alliance ceremony with the young marshal army?" ”
"Knot...... The Great Ceremony of Alliance? Do you want me to give up the Li family's inheritance to Kou Zhong?! You designed me to kill my parents and my son, and the blood stained the palace forbidden. also wants to take down Li Tang without blood??? It's a pipe dream!! Li Yuan was so angry that he wanted to go crazy, and roared in a hoarse voice.
"Bixia is excited, with your understanding of the palace struggle, you shouldn't know that in order to dominate the world, father and son turn against each other, and brothers are the norm! Lord Holy Son didn't force your three sons to do anything, everything was their own decision......" Father-in-law Wei lowered his eyebrows, quietly waited for Li Yuan to finish venting, and then ruthlessly exposed the cruel truth in a slow and logical voice, which stimulated Li Yuan to be even more sad, and suddenly changed his words, "The dead are gone, the living are like this, Bixia has been through ups and downs for a long time, and he is not a person who can't be seen, go to Li Jiancheng's three sons-in-law, you still have eighteen concubines, and you also have Princess Pingyang (Li Xiuning), You also have Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu, the Holy Son promised that when the world is unified and the world is peaceful, you and your family will go overseas and spend your old age in peace! ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, and after half a sound, he said in a low tone: "He let me go, aren't you afraid of fighting again?" ”
Gonggong Wei took Li Yuan's reaction into his eyes, a touch of pride flashed in his eyes, smiled, and didn't answer.
After Li Yuan asked, his face also turned red, and he understood that he had said something stupid, now that Li Tang is strong, he has also been played by the Holy Son Gao Xu without spending a single soldier, not to mention that in the future, Li Tang will collapse and Li Valve will fall, and he really doesn't even have the capital to be feared by having no appeal......
This discovery made Li Yuan sad and happy, it turned out that it was also good for people to be frustrated, if it was replaced by the wise and martial Li Shimin or the ambitious Li Yuanji, it would be absolutely impossible to let him live, and anyone with a little brain knew that it was impossible!
Yes, my son is dead, grief is grief, but he can't be blinded by hatred and die in vain, he still has a lot of family, and he has to live strongly!!
In view of this, Li Yuan actually nodded and agreed to the conditions conveyed by Gonggong Wei on behalf of Gao Xu, this speed, even Gonggong Wei, who has served Li Yuan for many years and thinks that he knows enough about him, is a little unexpected, it can be seen that there is no lower limit to people's shamelessness, and the same is true for spinelessness......
"Bixia rest assured, the old slave will help you lift the restrictions immediately, and there will be no sequelae for safekeeping!" Father-in-law Wei, who was calm on the surface, but was actually apprehensive in his heart, finally showed an irrepressible excitement, and pulled out a silver needle to prepare to remove Li Yuan's magic comparable to Yin Zuwen's seven-needle god.
Li Yuan was frightened and suspicious, for fear that Gonggong Wei would secretly do something, so that he would die without illness in a few years, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said with a stammer: "You Yin Gui has made great contributions this time, and he is the son of the Holy Son...... My Son, I guess I'm going to make you a national faction, right? ”
Gonggong Wei was stunned for a moment, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he gained insight into Li Yuan's thoughts, and on the one hand, he felt that he was shameless, and on the other hand, he felt that this statement sounded really comfortable, and said with a rare smile: "The national faction is unrealistic, but the Holy Son promises that as long as our faction abolishes some unreasonable regulations, reforms the evil and returns to the right, and no longer harms innocents in the future, it will make Young Marshal Kou recognize the status of the Holy Gate, and let us become a regular sect, without having to hide!" ”
"That's already good!" Seeing that Li Yuan seemed to be a little unconvinced, Father-in-law Wei looked at him with a look of remembrance and sighed, "Hey, if you have a choice, who doesn't want to be upright and respected?" It's just that since the Han Dynasty, our holy gate has been squeezed out and persecuted by the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and if there are no extraordinary means, we can't survive at all. ”
Li Yuan closed his mouth and was speechless, but at this moment, Elder Xia, who had been listening, suddenly stepped forward and said with internal force: "Li Shimin wants to see Li Yuan's side, so he also asked the eldest grandson Wuji, who was like a mad tiger, to surrender together with Li Jing, and was killed by me effortlessly, saving a lot of trouble!" Isn't it ......"
"What are you kidding?!" Father-in-law Wei waved his hand impatiently and said: "Li Shimin must die, he must be decisive, don't listen to his nonsense, be careful and change later!" ”
Elder Xia paused, seemed to hesitate a little, and stopped talking, and finally said again: "Li Shimin seems to see what we want to do, he said that as long as he spares his life, he will personally persuade Li Tang's soldiers to sincerely obey the young marshal's army!" ”
"Oh? Is this true? "Father-in-law Wei's attitude changed immediately, the people in the Demon Gate are the head, what is the zuihou side between father and son, they are not the slightest interest, but Li Shimin is the most prestigious in the Tang Army, even Li Yuan can't reach it, Li Yuan is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but if he really leads the people to surrender the young marshal army, it is estimated that there are still many Li Tang generals who are not convinced, and they will be separated, even if the name is not right, it is not difficult to exterminate, but after all, it is troublesome, if Li Yuan and Li Shimin come together, it will be completely different......
"Since Li Shimin is eager to survive, why don't we make good use of it, this hairy boy thinks he can play tricks, but he doesn't know how extensive my Holy Gate secret skills are, and then he can make him obediently obey orders! When the matter is completed...... "Elder Xia's eyebrows were full of viciousness, and he made a gesture of raising his hand and falling with a knife in a gloomy manner, "With this great merit, the Holy Son will definitely reward us!" ”
Gonggong Wei's breathing became slightly heavy, don't listen to what he said just now, why don't you covet the state religion, just be an ordinary sect, in fact, with the appetite of the people in the demon sect, how can you be satisfied?
To put it bluntly, it is because Gao Xu is too powerful, so powerful that the Yin Sect does not even dare to put forward conditions, so he can only obey it, and the above promise is still fought for by Wan Wan for the master, which can be regarded as an opportunity to reform himself......
However, if the Yin Sect completes the task super perfectly and does it better than Gao Xu's original arrangement, then I think Gao Xu will also give the Yin Sect a higher status and more right to speak!
In view of this, Gonggong Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision, the stupidest decision in his life, nodded at Elder Xia and said:
"Bring Li Shimin in!" (To be continued.) )
