Li Shan has visited frequently in recent years, so he knows Taiji Palace relatively well. Moreover, he once controlled the Beiya Imperial Guards and inspected various palace gates, so he knew very well that the Yongchun Gate in front of him was one of the outer gates of the palace city.
To the west of Yongchun Gate is Changle Gate, to the west is Chengtian Gate, the main entrance of Taiji Palace, and to the east are Jiafu Gate and Changlin Gate of East Palace.
Yongchun Gate is an outer gate, and the key needs to be dropped at night. It is impossible for Er Zhuhuan to open it. Even if it is opened, there should be guards from the right prison guard of the Beiya Imperial Army stationed outside.
At this time, Wang Junkuo should have controlled the Beiya Imperial Army... No, perhaps it should be said that he controlled Chai Shao, Qu Silang, Ma Sanbao, and possibly Wang Junhao and others, ensuring the palace change even if the key to the palace gate was lost. success.
The Beiya Imperial Guards outside may not have followed Wang Junkuo in their rebellion, and may have been kept in the dark, but the soldiers stationed at the outer gate are hard to say...Wang Junkuo himself serves as the general guard of the right prison.
Therefore, let alone the Yongchun Gate cannot be opened, even if it is opened, Li Shan may not be able to escape... Even if he escapes, he cannot escape the imperial city. There are still more than a dozen gates outside, Wang Junkuo You won't be on guard.
"Walk."
Er Zhuhuan's reminder came from beside him. He did not go to Yongchun Gate, but turned to the east.
Li Shan felt his throat was a little dry and grabbed Er Zhuhuan's sleeve, "Going to the East Palace?"
To the east is the East Palace, where there is a Tongxun Gate, which is the only passage between the East Palace and Taiji Palace.
Er Zhuhuan stopped, turned around and said, "We can only go to the East Palace."
"Besides the East Palace, there is only Tongming Gate to enter the Yeting Palace, but that way must first go through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Su Zhi, the supervisor in the palace, is from Pei Shiju. Who knows if he will still have people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Besides, there are many people close to His Majesty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they are likely to recognize you. The head guards and counselors in the East Palace are all in Linhu Hall and Shujing Hall, so not many people will recognize you."
Li Shan's expression changed, he looked deeply at Er Zhuhuan, and let go of his hand... Indeed, this is the best choice and the only choice.
The East Palace is very large, covering about half of the Taiji Palace. With Er Zhuhuan, the prince's confidant, it would be difficult to find someone hiding in the East Palace.
The most important thing is that now is the most critical moment of the palace change. From Li Jiancheng to Pei Shiju, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others, their attention will not be on the East Palace, which makes the East Palace the safest place.
Li Shan had to admit that there would never be a fool who could leave his name in history. He would die and live... It is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do. Er Zhuhuan, the uncle, is indeed Some skills.
But Li Shan was not content with this, and there were other things...did he really do nothing?
In the years since I came to this era, I have done so much and changed so much. Do I have to stand still at the most critical moment?
Li Shan thought about it for a while, and suddenly grabbed Er Zhuhuan again before approaching the Tongxun Gate.
"My nephew is leaving the East Palace."
"Impossible." Er Zhuhuan shook his head and said, "Chongming Gate and Jiafu Gate cannot be opened. Even if they are opened, they cannot get out of Changlin Gate."
"Once chaos breaks out, Taiji Palace will be in chaos. Only the East Palace will not be in chaos."
"It's safest for you to hide in the East Palace."
"You hide in the East Palace. I will find another opportunity to send you out tomorrow."
"Sun Moon Lake is guarded by Su Dingfang and Liu Hei'er, as well as hundreds of your personal guards, all of whom are elite. Your Highness the Crown Prince will not let Pei Shiju attack Zhuangzi with Changlin's army. There will be no problem for at least two or three days."
"When the sun rises in Chang'an tomorrow, you immediately take your mother and fly away. To the north, you can go to Yuanzhou and Longzhou. Both places are guarded by generals from the lineage of King Qin. To the north is Zhang Zhongjian. To the south, you can go to Hanzhong via Jinniu Road. …”
At this point, Er Zhuhuan, who noticed something strange, slowly stopped talking and stared at his nephew whose expression was changing, "What do you want to do?"
Li Shan was also sizing up Er Zhuhuan. This uncle took the risk to take him out of the Tai Chi Palace. Whether it was because of friendship or because of hedging, this proved that the other party was trustworthy.
But next, can it still be trusted?
Er Zhuhuan felt that his choice was the best one. Everything would be settled tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If King Qin were defeated, then as a confidant of the prince, it would not be difficult for him to send someone out of the city. For a while, they couldn't mobilize any troops to attack the insignificant village of Sun Moon Lake. There was a good chance that my nephew and sister could escape.
If King Qin wins and the prince loses, there will be no problem, and he may even have to rely on Li Shan to survive... But in that case, his relationship with Li Shan is likely to be exposed.
But now it seems that his nephew wants more than just saving his life.
After a pause, Er Zhuhuan whispered: "You...you have a way to get out of the East Palace?"
After a moment, Li Shan asked, "Can uncle stay in the East Palace?"
This time it was Er Zhuhuan's turn to be hesitant, and after a while he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Choose thirty guards to enter the Tai Chi Palace, and find an excuse to return to the East Palace to take charge. The prince may give permission."
This possibility does exist. As a confidant of the prince, Er Zhuhuan is in charge of the East Palace, deploying the guards of the East Palace, and may also deploy the Changlin Army in the Forbidden Garden outside Xuande Gate.
Er Zhuhuan couldn't help but ask again: "Do you really have a way to get out of the East Palace?"
"Yes." Li Shan took a deep breath and whispered softly into Er Zhuhuan's ear.
A quarter of an hour later, Er Zhuhuan, whose heart was fluctuating, took Li Shan through the Tongxun Gate smoothly, then passed through the Youyongfu Gate and Zuoyongfu Gate, and stopped on the side of the Chongming Gate.
"Be careful."
"Uncle is also careful. If the prince doesn't allow it... uncle must force it."
Er Zhuhuan nodded silently, took a deep look at this nephew who seemed to never be able to see through it, and then hurried away... Were these trump cards left to him by the King of Qin, or were they a foreshadowing left behind by himself?
If it is the King of Qin, it proves that the King of Qin trusts him. If it is the nephew himself... what does it prove?
Er Zhuhuan strode through the Zuo Jiashan Gate and entered the Jiade Hall. He saw several palace officials around Li Jiancheng. He was still thinking about a conspiracy some time ago. Pei Shiju repeatedly emphasized that Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, was a man with deep scheming intentions. , like to leave behind the scenes, must be cut off first.
Li Shan hid silently in the corner, waiting silently, counting the time in his mind... When it comes to understanding the entire palace, there are two places he is most familiar with.
One is the Xuanwu Gate, which is the result of his time traveler's search for the historical truth.
The second is the East Palace, to be precise, it is a small part of the East Palace... Li Shan looked around, and this is it.
The next step can only depend on luck. If you are lucky, you may still have a chance. If you are not lucky... you can only hide here and wait for the father and son Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to decide the outcome.
