As the general of the prison guard, Wu Yizong controlled 10,000 palace city defenders and controlled all the gates of the palace city and the imperial city, so he was a crucial figure in the palace battle, and his importance exceeded that of Li Zhen, the general of the thousand cavalry battalion, to some extent.
"The time is set for tomorrow night, we will enter the East Palace from the Chongguang Gate, and then enter the Taichu Palace from the East Palace Mingde Gate, as long as the general opens the Mingde Gate at that time, I should call you His Royal Highness King Long." ”
Wu Yizong's expression was very solemn, and he nodded slowly, "Then it's a word!"
Cao Wen got up to say goodbye, Wu Yizong kept sending Cao Wen out of the palace, looking at him and walking away, Wu Yizong returned to his official room with a heavy heart, just walked into the official room, but unexpectedly found that Zhang Yizhi was sitting in his official room, looking at him with a smile, behind Zhang Yizhi, standing humbly Wu Yizong's little tea boy.
Wu Yizong was so frightened that he retreated, knelt at Zhang Yizhi's feet, Zhang Yizhi grinned and said: "The general is very great now! What should the villain call you, His Royal Highness King Long, right? His Royal Highness the King of Long, please bow to the villain." ”
Zhang Yizhi smiled and slapped the table heavily, "Wu Yizong, you are such a big dog!"
Wu Yizong was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and kowtowed repeatedly, Zhang Yizhi snorted heavily, "Say it! Wu Sansi wants you to do something, recruit me from the truth, otherwise, see how I slaughtered your dog's head." ”
The next day was another day off, but almost half of the ministers did not come to the court, and the whole court was panicked, and no one knew what was going to happen.
King Xiang was deposed, King Luling fell into Buddhism, many people are pessimistic, maybe the Tang Dynasty has not been long.
Zhang Cambodia was still as usual, coming to his official room before dawn, as if everything that was about to happen in the palace had nothing to do with him, he was very calm and dealt with the mountains of papers, sent from all states and counties in the world, piled up on his desk every day.
Of course, it wasn't that there were officials who came to talk to him about the current situation, everyone was worried, and the Cambodian capital laughed at it, neither drove others away, nor stopped the pen in his hand, until Shangguan Wan'er sent a confidant maid to send him a note sealed in a wax pill, which made Zhang Cambodia's attitude change suddenly.
He closed the door, locked the door, returned to his seat and took out a knife to cut the wax pill, inside was a crumpled note, he opened the note and read it hurriedly, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
Zhang Cambodia walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hand, he sat down again, and took out more than a dozen small notes, each of which had a sentence written on it, 'The night will rain, open the umbrella to avoid it'.
Zhang Cambodia walked out of the room, called two of his henchmen up, gave them the note, and repeatedly instructed them a few words, the two attendants nodded again and again, and they each picked up a large volume of approved documents and went to the ministers' official rooms to distribute them.
In the afternoon, Zhang Cambodia left the imperial city and left Luoyang City, but he did not go far, but rode around the West Garden under the protection of more than a dozen henchmen, entered the West Garden through the outer gate of the West Garden, and ran directly to the tent of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion.
The big tent of the Chinese army in the thousand cavalry camp, here is the place where the general Li Zhen usually handles official business, at this time thousands of soldiers are deployed around the big tent, wearing armor and knives, and the guard is tight, and no one is allowed to approach the big tent.
At this time, Zhang Cambodia hurried to the Chinese army's tent under the leadership of a wine zhi, and after waiting for a while, a personal guard came out and said: "Zhang Xiangguo, please come in!"
Zhang Cambodia walked into the big tent, only to see that there were more than a dozen officials sitting in two rows in the big tent, the general Li Zhen wore a golden helmet, wore silver armor, and carried a general's sword at his waist, sitting on the seat headed by the right, his lower head was the general Zhang Li, and then below was the general Li Zhan of the Yulin Army, the first seat on the left was vacant, it should be Zhang Cambodia's seat, and below was Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan.
Everyone looked serious, no one spoke, Zhang Cambodia quickly came to his seat and sat down, he glanced at the seat in the middle, the owner of the seat had not yet come, he asked Yao Chongdao in a low voice: "Who else hasn't come?"
"It's all here. ”
At this time, Li Zhen said slowly: "Zhang Xiangguo, let's talk about it! What kind of rain will it rain tonight?"
Zhang Cambodia looked at everyone and said loudly: "The exact news in the palace, tonight Wu Sansi will lead the army into the palace, the time is one watch, they will first enter the East Palace from the Chongguang Gate, and then enter the Taichu Palace from the Mingde Gate, if nothing else, Wu Sansi will ascend the throne in the Taichu Palace tonight." ”
At this time, someone suddenly snorted heavily on the inside of the big tent, and everyone quieted down, only to see a middle-aged man about fifty years old coming out of the inner tent, wearing a purple robe, with a jade belt around his waist, he was of medium stature, his eyes were clear, and he had a foot-long black beard under his chin, this person was none other than Li Xian, the king of Luling.
Everyone stood up and bowed: "See Your Highness!"
Only Yao Chong sat there in a daze, his eyes full of shock and doubt, as if he had been immobilized, Li Xian waved his hand, "Everyone, please take a seat!"
Li Xian looked at Yao Chong and said with a smile: "I completely understand Yao Xiangguo's feelings, when other people saw Lone, they were the same as you, and they were even more shocked than you." ”
Yao Chong reacted after a while and asked, "Isn't Your Highness under house arrest?"
Li Xian smiled slightly, "That's just a stand-in, everyone thinks that Lone Luofa is a monk, so Lone found a monk as a stand-in, these days Lone lives in the General's Baique Villa, thanks to the general's careful care, and sent Chongjun to reunite with Lone." ”
Li Zhen bowed and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, this is for the courtiers' duty." ”
Li Xian looked at Yao Chong again, "If Yao Xiangguo wants to return the account, it's still too late." ”
Yao Chong shook his head and said firmly: "Weichen is willing to go to the soup for His Highness, and he will never give up!"
Li Xian's eyes burst out with complex emotions, "Over the years, I have endured all humiliations and experienced many ups and downs and blows, just for today, tonight will be the moment for us to rebuild the Tang Dynasty, let us all the gentlemen here witness history together!"
The station of the Yulin army is located in the round wall city in the north of the palace, which is also the warehouse city of Luoyang, which stores a large amount of grain, and the Yulin army has about 20,000 people, the largest number in each army, well-equipped, well-trained, and is the backbone of the palace guard.
At present, the general of the Yulin Army is Wu Youyi, and there are four generals Wu Yanji, Wu Chongxun, Li Zhan and Yang Yuanyan, and the situation has developed to this day, although Wu Youyi is loyal to the Zhang brothers, it does not mean that the Zhang brothers can control the Yulin Army.
In fact, the Yulin Army has been divided and controlled by the major forces, and at the beginning of the night, a Yulin military academy captain rushed to Wu Youyi's official room like a gust of wind, knelt down on one knee, and excitedly reported: "General Qiyu, Li Zhen has been captured!"
Wu Youyi was upset and waiting for Erzhang's order, and when he heard the news, he was immediately surprised and happy, stood up quickly, and asked urgently, "Where are the people now?"
"Returning to the general, in his mansion, he returned to the mansion at night, and was captured by the brothers who were lying in ambush outside the mansion. ”
Wu Youyi was very excited in his heart, he knew what it meant to catch Li Zhen, as long as he handed over Li Zhen's head to the Zhang brothers, he would have endless glory and wealth in his life, he was about to report to Er Zhang, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again, thought about it, and immediately shouted: "Go to Li Zhen's mansion!"
Wu Youyi decided not to tell the Zhang brothers for the time being, lest the Zhang brothers let others take this credit, he had to get this credit, although the Zhang brothers repeatedly instructed him not to leave the Yulin Army garrison, but he was carried away by the news of the capture of Li Zhen, and led a hundred guards to rush to Li Zhen's mansion in Anrenfang.
At this time, Li Zhen's mansion had been surrounded by three thousand Yulin Army soldiers, led by Li Zhan, the general of the Yulin Army.
Wu Youyi turned over and dismounted and asked, "Where are the people?"
"He is currently under house arrest in the inner house, waiting for the general to deal with it. ”
"Good!"
Wu Youyi smiled approvingly: "Well done!"
Li Zhan didn't take Li Zhen to take it himself, which made Wu Youyi very satisfied, and he smiled: "Go and enjoy General Li's demeanor!"
He walked quickly to the mansion with his subordinates, Li Zhan saw that the big fish had entered the net, so he immediately glanced at his generals, and several of his generals understood the idea, and took more than a thousand Yulin soldiers into the mansion, only to hear a miserable scream from the mansion, and it was quiet after a while.
Li Zhan walked out with a human head, held it high and shouted: "Wu Youyi is good to help the abuse, there is more than enough to die, the soldiers of the three armies will follow me into the palace to eliminate the traitor!"
Thousands of Yulin soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "Kill Erzhang!" ......
Although Li Zhen's mansion was the first to change, the palace was still silent, as if nothing had happened, still in the Yuanbi City Yulin Army station, Wu Yanji and Yang Yuanyan led 1,500 soldiers to quietly surround Wu Chongxun's official room, they were patiently waiting for the change in the official room.
Wu Yanji is the eldest son of Wu Chenghe, in this fierce power struggle, they have become the focus of various factions, although Wu Furong has reached an agreement with Princess Taiping on behalf of their family, and seems to have thrown herself into Princess Taiping, but Princess Taiping does not know that something happened many years ago, that is, Li Zhen once saved Wu Chenghe's life.
"General Yang, can you really be sure that His Royal Highness the King of Luling is in the camp of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion?" Wu Yanji asked in a deep voice.
Yang Yuanyan smiled slightly, "The general can not believe me, but you should believe in General Li, it is his promise to you." ”
Wu Yanji nodded silently, it was not easy to make this decision, but he remembered his father's last words, 'If there is a court coup in the future, they will choose to follow Li Zhen', which is not only his father's gratitude to Li Zhen before his death, but also his father's realization before his death, as the eldest son, he has to bear the fate of the entire family.
