On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Zhenguan, Chang'an City suspended the curfew due to the approaching New Year's Day. Therefore, at night, the streets of Chang'an City were still bustling with people coming and going.
But this day was destined to be no ordinary day. At midnight, the Wuhou and guards responsible for night patrols in Chang'an City gradually gathered towards the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Outside the Suzaku Gate, four men in armor were headed, followed by five hundred elite soldiers, and the troops of Marquis Wu were gathering in the rear.
These four people include Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An, Du Gancai, the governor of Huazhou, Liu Deyu, the general of the Youwu Guard, and his subordinate Yuan Hongshan, the commander of the army.
The general on duty at Zhuque Gate today is Sun Anye, the general of the Right Prison Gate. At this time, he is standing at the top of the city, looking at the growing number of soldiers and horses below with a smile. There are all Changsun Anye's confidants around him and inside and outside the palace gate, so today we should cooperate with each other inside and outside to rebel, and nothing will go wrong.
"Uncle, this is the information returned from our hidden stakes 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 looked at it briefly, then handed it to Li Xiaochang who was next to him, and said in a sad tone: "Your Majesty, there are clues about the murder of your son. The murderer was found in Chang'an County, but he did not dare to report it. Our people risked their lives to send back the news. .”
oh? Li Xiaochang was lying when he said he didn't care, he was just holding back for important reasons.
He reached out and took the information.
"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the evil star Xiao Rui! Good, good, very good! I heard that he is known as the Dandy Nemesis of Chang'an, but my son has been with me in Lizhou all year round, and only returned to Chang'an for a few days. I don't know him at all. He has no grievances. He is so ruthless. Erlang, after today, my father will definitely kill his enemies and avenge you with his own hands." Li Xiaochang held the information in his hand, and his clenched fists creaked with anger.
Liu Deyu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, that little kid Xiao Rui, relying on the favor of the emperor, actually sat on our heads and pooped and peed. The officials of Chang'an City have long disliked him. Wait until we accomplish great things. , kill him to let everyone vent their anger, and presumably the hidden danger of instability in the government can be eliminated."
Li Xiaochang said in surprise: "Oh? There is such a beautiful thing? So, no matter what, Xiao Rui should die."
Turning his head and taking a look, he saw about three thousand soldiers and horses gathered behind him. Li Xiaochang confidently shouted to the top of the city: "Brother An Ye, if we don't open the palace gate now, when will we wait?"
Sun Anye, the head of the city, laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Open the door. After today, you will be promoted to an official position, and you will be granted the title of Marquis!"
A group of confidants instantly became red-eyed, and the palace door opened faster. Who doesn’t look forward to being granted the title of Duke or Marquis? Honor your ancestors?
"The ignorant ruler is ignorant and abuses traitors. Let's go in, eradicate the unrighteousness, and help the world! Follow me and charge forward!"
The sound of horse hooves sounded. Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Du Gancai and others took the lead in riding their horses and rushed into the Zhuque Gate. The commander Yuan Hongshan called on his subordinates, the infantrymen Wuhou, to follow.
Then, the shouts of killing started, and Chang'an City, which was gradually quiet under the night, suddenly became lively. Countless people moved when they heard the sound, and candles gradually lit up. After a while, the entire Chang'an City was lit up with thousands of lights, and many people Walking out of the house, he looked in the direction of Miyagi suspiciously.
Rushing all the way, they passed the yamen of three provinces and six departments in a short time. When they saw the Tai Chi Palace right in front of them, Li Xiaochang and others gradually became happy. They were one step closer to success. If they win the Tai Chi Palace, they can change the dynasty and control the world!
"Surge into Tai Chi Hall and capture Li Shimin alive!"
Thousands of soldiers and horses were like sharks after seeing blood, and they quickly fell into a frenzy. An evil aura filled the air, which looked quite intimidating.
At this moment, the candles in the Tai Chi Palace were lit one after another. Also illuminated at the same time were the three gates of the Tai Chi Palace - Yong'an Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Changle Gate.
It was only then that Li Xiaochang and others gradually saw clearly that the entire wide road in front of the Tai Chi Palace was filled with Forbidden Army soldiers with swords and swords.
With just one glance, the momentum of the entire Suwei rebel army, consisting of several thousand people, was instantly reduced by half.
"Changsun Anye..." Li Xiaochang shouted, thinking that it was Zhangsun Anye who betrayed everyone.
"Why are you shouting? I have been watching for the past few days. There are no more troops in the palace. It must be Li Shimin's bluff and let the eunuchs in the palace pretend. Don't forget, he is the best at this. Last year outside Chang'an City, Jie Li was deceived by him." Changsun Anye, who followed him to charge, gave a lame explanation, which barely boosted his confidence.
"Okay! That's it for now. Just kill him and you'll find out. Follow me and charge!"
rush? What to use?
The originally dark and silent areas of the three provinces and six yamen suddenly turned on lights at the same time. This moment shocked the rebels. Thousands of people were in a mess. They no longer had the momentum of the charge just now, but looked like frightened rabbits. , crowded and stampeded.
A general appeared on the left with a sword and a horse, "Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, something has happened. Zhang Shigui has been waiting here for a long time."
On the right, a group of soldiers and horses in dark green armor slowly appeared, led by a general with an iron halberd and a mighty tiger-headed armor. "Zhai Changsun of the Xuanjia Army is here. The rebels are listening. Your Majesty's instructions are handed down. Surrender is free." die!"
Uh-huh!
All the rebels turned their heads to the right in unison, Xuan Jia Army? Is it the world-famous Xuanjia Army, the Xuanjia Army that claims to have more than 3,000 soldiers?
No need to do anything, just hearing the name and seeing the dark blue armor made the thousands of rebels weak in fear. Even at night, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false shadows of famous trees, but no one dares to bet their own lives.
"Don't panic, everyone. General Changsun Anye has proved that they are all fake and bluff. They are temporary disguises by the eunuchs and maids. There are not so many soldiers and horses in the Taiji Palace..." Liu Deyu, Li Xiaochang and others all spoke to appease their subordinates.
The eldest grandson Anye's face looked as ugly as his own mother's death. Who said I wanted to prove it? How can I prove it?
A kind of rebel subordinate is not a fool, dressed as a palace maid or eunuch? Not to mention the murderous aura, the neat team, and the forest of swords and guns, the number of people alone is wrong. Surrounded from all sides, there must be tens of thousands of people, right? Are there so many maids and eunuchs in the palace?
Zhang Shigui, the leader of the Forbidden Army, raised his sword and shouted angrily: "Give you three breaths, anyone holding a weapon will die!"
Bang!
The knife in someone's hand fell to the ground, as if the flood gate had been opened, and there was just a bang, a bang... The weapon fell to the ground, and the sound of hitting the bluestone was endless. It rang for a full minute, and thousands of people rebelled. Ninety percent of the soldiers were squatting on the ground and holding their heads. There are even more than 200 people who are the personal guards and confidants of several generals.
Li Xiaochang and others were so angry that their faces were livid, and the grumpy eldest grandson Anye directly slashed to death the two surrendered henchmen around him. But what's the use? Obviously the situation is over and people are prepared.
The Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace slowly opened, and Li Er, dressed in golden armor and with the Emperor's Sword hanging on his waist, walked out, followed by several generals who were watching the show.
Liu Deyu's nephew, Commander-in-Chief Yuan Hongshan, was so frightened that he accidentally fell off his horse and collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud.
The two armies faced each other, and the victory was decided. Li Xiaochang asked Emperor Li Er unwillingly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Your Majesty, can you tell me where we made the mistake?"
Li Er laughed loudly and said: "How dare you dare to aspire to the top with just a few of you losers? I knew your plan half a month ago. Do you know why you waited until now?"
You guys look at me, I look at you, their eyes are all full of distrust, which one of you special girls has been caught doing things poorly?
