Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Guards Rebelled

On the twenty-third Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Zhenguan, Chang'an City suspended its curfew because the New Year Festival was approaching, so at night, the streets of Chang'an City were still bustling with people.

But this day is destined to be not an ordinary day, at midnight at the third watch, the Wuhou and the guards who are responsible for the night patrol in Chang'an City actually gradually gathered towards the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Outside the Suzaku Gate, four people in armor were the leader, followed by five hundred elite soldiers, and there were Wuhou soldiers and horses who gathered one after another.

These four people include Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, Du Gancai, the governor of Huazhou, Liu Deyu, the general of the Right Military Guard, and his subordinate commander Yuan Hongshan.

The general on duty at the Vermilion Bird Gate today is Sun Anye, the general of the Right Prison Gate, who was standing at the head of the city at this time, looking at the more and more soldiers and horses gathering below. Around him and inside and outside the palace gate, he is full of confidants of the eldest grandson Anye, so today he should rebel and be foolproof.

"Uncle, this is the information that came back from the secret pile in Chang'an County." Commander Yuan Hongshan sent a piece of information, and at the same time glanced at Li Xiaochang.

Liu Deyu opened it and took a cursory look, then handed it to Li Xiaochang next to him, and said in a sad tone: "Lord Wang, the murder of Ling Lang has eyebrows, Chang'an County has found out the murderer, but he didn't dare to report it, and our people risked death to send back the news." ”

Oh? Li Xiaochang said that it was false that he didn't care, but he just forbears it for the sake of big things.

He reached out and took the information.

"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xiao Rui's evil star! Good, good, good! I heard that he is known as the nemesis of Chang'an, but my son has been in Lizhou with me all the year round, and he has only been back in Chang'an for a few days, and he does not know him at all, and he has no grievances. He's so hot. Erlang, after today, my father will definitely kill the enemy and avenge you with his own hands. Li Xiaochang held the information in his hands, and his clenched fists creaked with anger.

Liu Deyu took the opportunity to say: "Lord Wang, that Xiao Rui, a yellow-mouthed child, relying on the favor of the faint king, actually rode on our heads to and pee, and the officials of Chang'an City have long looked at him unpleasantly." When we do something big and kill him to vent everyone's anger, presumably, the hidden danger of instability in the court can be eliminated. ”

Li Xiaochang was pleasantly surprised: "Oh? How can there be such a beautiful thing? In this way, no matter what, Xiao Rui deserves to die. ”

Turning his head to take a look, about 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered behind him, Li Xiaochang confidently shouted at the city head: "Brother Anye, if you don't open the palace gate at this time, when will you stay?" ”

The eldest grandson of the city, Anye, laughed and waved his hand: "Open the door, after today, you will wait for the official to enter the knighthood, and the marquis is hopeful!" ”

A group of henchmen instantly turned red-eyed, and the palace door opened faster. Who doesn't look forward to being crowned a prince? Glorious ancestors?

"There is no way to be a faint king, abuse the traitor, we will kill it, eradicate the wayless, and help the world! Rush with me! ”

When the horse's hooves sounded, Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Du Gancai and others took the lead in riding their horses and rushing into the Suzaku Gate.

So, the shouting and killing sounded, the Chang'an City, which was gradually quiet under the night, became lively in an instant, hundreds of people moved when they heard the sound, and the candles were gradually lit up, and after a while, the entire Chang'an City was lit up with thousands of lights, and many people walked out of their homes and looked at the direction of the palace city suspiciously.

Rampage all the way, not long after running through the yamen of the three provinces and six departments, seeing that the Taiji Palace is in front of them, Li Xiaochang and others are gradually showing joy in their eyes, and they are one step closer to success, and if they win the Taiji Palace, they will be able to change the dynasty and master the world!

"Kill into the Taiji Hall and capture Li Shimin alive!"

Thousands of soldiers and horses were like sharks that had seen blood, and they quickly fell into a frenzy, and a sinister aura filled the air, which looked quite bluffing.

At this moment, the candles in the Taiji Palace were lit in turn, and at the same time, there were three palace gates of the Taiji Palace - Yong'an Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Changle Gate.

It was only at this time that Li Xiaochang and others gradually saw that the wide road in front of the entire Taiji Palace was full of forbidden troops with swords and armor.

At just one glance, the momentum of the entire thousands of Su Guard rebels instantly became half shorter.

"Eldest grandson Anye ......" Li Xiaochang shouted, thinking that it was eldest grandson Anye who betrayed everyone.

"What are you shouting, I've been staring at it for the past few days, there are no soldiers and horses in the palace, it must be Li Shimin's bluff and let the eunuchs in the palace disguise. Don't forget, he is the best at playing this, and outside Chang'an City last year, Jieli was deceived by him. The eldest grandson Anye, who followed the horse to kill, gave a lame explanation, barely boosting his confidence.

"Good! The matter has come to this point, you will know if you kill it, and rush with me! ”

Rush? What to take?

The Yamen area of the three provinces and six departments, which was originally dark and silent, was lit up at the same time, which instantly startled the rebels, and thousands of people were in a mess, no longer with the momentum of the charge just now, but crowded and trampled like frightened rabbits.

A general with a knife drove the horse to appear on the left side, "Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, wait for the incident, Zhang Shigui has been waiting here for a long time." ”

On the right side, a group of soldiers and horses in dark cyan armor slowly appeared, led by a general with an iron halberd and a mighty tiger's head armor, "The eldest grandson of the Xuanjia army Zhai is here, the rebels are listening, and pass on the message of Your Majesty, surrender and avoid death!" ”

Swish!

All the rebels turned their heads to look to the right side in unison, Xuanjia Army? Is it the world-famous Xuanjia Army, known as the Xuanjia Army with 3,000 and 100,000?

They didn't have to do anything, just listening to the head and seeing the dark blue armor, these thousands of rebels were frightened and weak. The shadow of a person's famous tree, even at night, is not easy to distinguish between the real and the fake, but no one dares to gamble their own lives.

"Don't panic, General Anye, the eldest grandson, proves that they are all fake, bluffing, and they are temporarily disguised by eunuchs and palace maids, and there are not so many soldiers ......and horses in Taiji Palace at all," Liu Deyu, Li Xiaochang and others spoke out to appease their subordinates.

The eldest grandson Anye's face was as ugly as his own mother who died, who said that I had to prove it? How do I prove it?

A kind of rebel subordinate is not a fool, a palace maid and eunuch pretended? Not to mention the murderous aura, as well as the neat team, such as Lin's knives and guns, the number of people alone is not right, surrounded on all sides, there must be tens of thousands of people, right? There are so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace?

Zhang Shigui, the leader of the forbidden army, raised his long knife and shouted angrily: "Wait for three breaths, those who hold armor, die!" ”

Bang Dang!

I don't know whose knife fell to the ground, as if it had unscrewed the floodgates, and only listened to the clang, clang...... The weapon landed, and the sound of smashing on the bluestone was endless, and it rang for a minute, and the rebels of thousands of people squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, and there were ninety percent of them. There are even more than 200 people who are the personal guards and henchmen of several generals.

was so angry that Li Xiaochang and the others turned pale, and the grumpy eldest grandson Anye directly drew a knife and hacked to death the two henchmen who surrendered beside him. But what's the use? Obviously, the general trend has gone, and people are on guard.

The Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace slowly opened, and Li Er, who was dressed in gold armor and hung the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, walked out with a long step, followed by several generals who were watching the show.

Liu Deyu's nephew, Yuan Hongshan, the commander of the army, was so frightened that he accidentally fell off his horse and collapsed on the ground like a mess of mud.

The two armies faced each other, and the victory and defeat had been divided, and Li Xiaochang, who was unwilling to go to the emperor, asked: "The winner is the king and the loser Kou, Your Majesty, can you tell the ministers, what is wrong with us?" ”

Li Er laughed and said, "Just a few of you? Dare to be ambitious? I knew about your plan half a month ago, do you know why you waited until now? ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all eyes are full of distrust, who of your special mothers is not good and has been discovered?
