Chapter 129: Life is like a play

On this day, Li Longji, the king of Linzi County, invited hundreds of officials from the court to listen to the opera in Liyuan, which is said to be written by Li Longji himself, and the finale was Li Longji himself on the stage.

If it is invited by other princes, this civil and military official will have to think twice, maybe he can't shirk it under the pretext of something, because the prince's private meeting with hundreds of officials is a taboo for the way of ministers. There is no need to arouse Merriam-Webster's suspicions.

But Li Longji is different, he is a famous prodigal prince in the capital, he loves to listen to opera and sing music, it is said that he also opened a special teaching workshop in the pear orchard, and he actually personally hooked his face to teach those actors to sing.

What can such a person do? Therefore, Wei is very relieved of him, and the civil and military officials are also willing to go, so why not not be happy to have fun while praising the prince's scene?

After the three rounds of drinking, the sky has darkened, Li Longji ordered people to light lanterns, and the pear orchard was brightly lit.

During the period, there are also Hu people in the Western Regions to perform fire-breathing acrobatics, the program is extremely exciting, dizzying, and everyone is amazed.

When the time came, Li Longji came to the stage, and first waved at the audience, who dared to accept him as the king of the court, and everyone hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

Li Longji said with a smile: "I am really flattered that you can come here today. Everyone said in unison: "The prince is very loving, how dare the lower officials not come?"

Li Longji waved his hand and said: "Don't talk, let's listen to how this song is sung, although this song is not to be said to be the last, it is absolutely unprecedented." Please sit back and enjoy. "After that, Li Longji stepped down,

A few eunuchs came up and extinguished the lanterns on the stage, and the stage was pitch black, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and say: "It's so dark, how can people watch the play?"

Someone whispered: "This prince often does things unexpectedly, maybe there will be another wonderful thing when the lights are bright." As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone on the stage crying sharply: "The slave is sorry for the first emperor." Slaves deserve death. ”

Everyone wondered: "What kind of play is this singing? Why have you never heard such a play?" In confusion, the man on the stage continued to cry: "The slave was ordered by Princess Anle to find the Yin Bone Lily from the Western Regions,

I also found peacock gall bladder and crane top red, and also got wonderful fragrance powder from Miaojiang, and entrusted the incense master to make soul-breaking incense. That day, Princess Anle took advantage of the first emperor's bathing and offered the soul-breaking incense to the first emperor, and the first emperor only smelled it and returned to heaven.

I was afraid of being killed by Anle, so I escaped from the palace that night, until a few days ago, I was arrested by the prince and brought here, and the slave deserved to die!" Kneeling on the stage was Princess Anle's former personal eunuch Liu Bin, and the civil and military officials were all shocked.

Li Longji stepped up to the stage quickly, and said with a cold smile: "Wei, An Le killed the king and usurped the throne, and the human and material evidence is there, who dares to deny it!" Among the officials in the audience, there are also Wei's henchmen and descendants, who see that the signs are not good,

wanted to escape, but found that there were already surrounded by the Royal Forest Army. A large number of men in black came over with knives and took the list directly to take people. These black-clothed men were extremely fierce, and those who resisted immediately slashed them to death, and after a while, Webster's henchmen had all taken them down.

Li Longji shouted: "Everyone, kill Wei's rebellion, and reply to Li Tang Sheji tonight, I want to raise troops into the palace." Who wants to start with?!" The officials in the audience all raised their arms and shouted: "I wish to look forward to the head of the king!"

Xue Chongjian had already reined in his horse and waited near Zuo, and immediately ordered the Imperial Forest Army to march into the Daming Palace.

Ma Sizong, the general of Suzhangmen Yulin, was outside Suzhangmen, pacing back and forth anxiously, he had already received Li Longji's secret order to start an incident tonight. Therefore, I waited here early, because the palace was doing things,

Monks often come and go, so Webster specially ordered to set aside the Suzhang Gate and the Xuanwu Gate for the monks to enter and exit, and these two palace gates can not be closed and locked until the time of the child. From the layout point of view, the Suzhang Gate is in the front, and the Xuanwu Gate is in the back.

After the Suzhang Gate, it is only three miles to the Xuanwu Gate, and after the Xuanwu Gate, it will lead directly to the palace. The city wall of Xuanwu Gate is extremely high, once the door is closed and locked, with the strong wall of the city, there are thousands of troops and horses outside who can't rush in.

Back then, Li Chongjun was hindered by the failure of the Xuanwu Sect. Therefore, the key to the success or failure of this uprising lies in whether the Xuanwu Gate can be cleared, and the key to customs clearance lies in the grasp of the timing.

The gatekeepers of the Xuanwu Gate are Wei Bo and Gao Song, these two are Wei's henchmen and skilled in bowing and horses, and they are not easy to deal with. Therefore, Li Longji strictly limited the timing of customs clearance to the intersection of Hai Shi and Zi Shi - the moment when the door was about to close, because this time was the time when the guards were most lax.

But if they slackened a little, they missed the opportunity, and when they closed the palace door, the general trend was gone. All those involved in the uprising will be condemned as rebels.

As time passed, Ma Sizong's heart was about to stop beating. At this moment, there was a muffled thunderous roar in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves wrapped in thick cotton cloth on the stone pavement.

Li Longji's cronies, Xue Chongjian and Liu Youqiu, led their own soldiers to arrive on time, and Ma Sizong's hanging heart was put down, he hurriedly greeted his soldiers, and immediately marched towards Xuanwu Gate.

Xue Chongjian and Liu Youqiu led the cavalry to march slowly, and horses were not allowed to gallop in the imperial city, in case the sound of horses' hooves was heard by Wei Bo, they would definitely close the door first.

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the foot soldiers of the Ma Si Sect in front to open the way. When the time was approaching, Ma Sizong was anxious, but he didn't dare to throw off the stride for fear of arousing the suspicion of others, so he could only stride in.

Fortunately, Sanli Road is not too far, and when they arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, Wei Bo and Gao Song rode out to do the last inspection, and after they rode around the circle, they were about to close the door and lock it.

Ma Sizong shouted in his heart: "God bless!" Wei Bo saw Ma Sizong leading the crowd to come, and immediately became suspicious, and shouted: "General Ma, why are you here when you are not on duty at Suzhangmen?!"

Ma Sizong shouted: "By the order of the Empress Dowager, I will invite the Buddha bone relics from Baochang Temple!" Wei Bo turned his head to look at Gao Song and said, "Brother, why don't I know about this? Have you heard of it?"

Gao Song was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the foot soldiers on both sides like a tide, Xue Chongjian and Liu Youqiu slapped their horses and danced knives, rushing to the front like lightning, Gao Song shouted: "Not good! they want to ......",

Before the words fell, Liu Youqiu had already been stabbed off the horse with a shot, and another shot resulted in his life. Wei Bo was shocked, and immediately swung a gilded axe to slash at Liu Youqiu, but was blocked by Xue Chongjian's horizontal knife.

Liu Youqiu knew that this person was proficient in martial arts, and once he unleashed a big axe, it would be difficult to defeat this person in a hurry, so he hurriedly grabbed a gun and stabbed him in the chest. (To be continued......)
