"ah?"
Li Xuan was a little panicked.
"Chang'an is your home court now. When Li Xiu's soldiers arrive, you will be finished!"
Han Cangshui encouraged: "Kill them tonight!"
"That... that's my aunt!"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Han Cangshui.
"Throughout the ages, whoever can be an emperor is not a ruthless person?"
Han Cangshui hated the iron, and slapped him again: "And you think I don't know? What you said is just an excuse. What you are really afraid of is that you don't dare to take responsibility!"
To put it bluntly, Li Xuan is a coward. He doesn't dare to do such a big thing.
Li Xuan covered his face and did not dare to refute.
"The most powerful force in Chang'an now is the Chang'an Guard. As long as we control it, we will win!"
Analysis by Han Cangshui.
The Chang'an Guard is used to garrison Chang'an and guard the capital. Troops from other places are not allowed to enter the capital without His Majesty's order, otherwise they will be treated as rebels.
"Li Sheng was loyal to me before, but when my aunt comes, I'm afraid things will change!"
Li Xuan is worried.
Li Sheng, whose original name was Niu Sheng, was given the national surname because of his outstanding military exploits. He was the highest officer of the capital's armed forces.
"What aunt? It's Li Xiu!"
Han Cangshui cursed: "I will deal with Li Sheng's situation, but you must handle the encirclement and suppression of Li Xiu and Li Ziqi!"
"good!"
Li Xuan understood that without him in charge, who would dare to kill the two princesses
Han Cangshui moved, while Li Xuan asked the men and horses in the Prince's Mansion to stand still and paralyze the enemy.
At this time, Li Xiu would definitely send someone to monitor the Prince's Mansion. They would never have imagined that Chang'an Guard would take action and become a decisive force.
Late at night, a house.
"Teacher, why don't you meet the senior brothers and sisters?"
Li Xuan was still a little worried. At this time, the more force the better, otherwise how could he deal with the masters around Li Xiu
"They are all under surveillance. Their sudden appearance will attract Li Xiu's attention."
Han Cangshui explained.
In fact, this was Han Cangshui's preparation.
If the coup failed, he could say that Li Xuan was determined to have his own way and his persuasion was useless, but once his disciples took action, there was no way to clear his name.
"It's getting late, let's go!"
Han Cangshui urged.
"General Li, please do everything!"
Li Xuan clasped his fists, but he found that Li Sheng was too dull tonight and didn't even bother to say anything.
boom! boom!
Flares shot up into the sky.
The Chang'an guards stationed in the city were suddenly awakened by their respective centurions, then left the camp and ran towards the eldest princess' mansion.
Only twenty minutes later, the fastest troops arrived and surrounded the huge mansion. Soon, more and more troops gathered.
"Li Sheng, what are you going to do? Rebellion?"
The door of the mansion opened and Li Xiu walked out, shouting loudly.
But no one answered.
"The person has confirmed it, why are you still dazed? Give the order!"
Han Cangshui was a little dissatisfied when he saw that Li Xuan had not given the order for a long time.
"Gudu!"
Li Xuan was a little nervous, and his palms were all sweaty.
"Do you think you can retreat now?"
Han Cangshui shouted: "Order!"
"Want... to stop negotiating?"
Li Xuan asked.
Snapped!
Han Cangshui raised his hand and slapped him, "Trash, how can you guarantee that there is no secret passage inside?" If we delay any longer, everyone will run away.
Li Xuan was in tangle, and suddenly his mind was confused, as if he said something. When he came back to his senses, he found that the soldiers began to attack, and countless rockets were fired at the eldest princess's mansion.
"ah?"
Li Xuan hugged his head.
Taking advantage of the suppression of the rocket, the soldiers rushed in. If they did not want to confirm Li Xiu's death with their own eyes, setting fire would be the most efficient way.
The resistance was very weak, which made Han Cangshui feel bad.
"Tell the prince that there are only a few servants in the mansion!"
The cronies came to report.
"Failed...failed?"
Li Xuan's face was as pale as wax, and he looked at Li Xuan for help.
"Damn it, you were fooled, let's go to the palace!"
Han Cangshui was anxious: "I've given the order, why are you panicking?"
It's really mud that can't hold up the wall.
And that Li Xiu must be fake! It was done by Sun Mo using plastic surgery.
The Chang'an Guard's horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the night, and thousands of soldiers and horses rushed towards the palace.
The guards of the palace feel like they are facing a powerful enemy!
Seeing the palace door closed, Han Cangshui urged: "Let them open the door!"
"I... I am Prince Li Xuan, open the door quickly!"
Li Xuan rode a horse and rode out from the crowd.
The guards did not dare to neglect and quickly opened the door.
Looking at the city gate illuminated by torches, I felt a little nervous for some reason.
"No matter what, we've come this far, we have to fight!"
Han Cangshui looked at Li Xuan. He didn't want to put himself in danger, so he had no choice but to let the prince go: "Prince, the winner is the king or the loser, tonight, let's go!"
Li Xuan's expression calmed down, and when he spoke again, he was already full of anger: "Erlangs, follow me, kill the thief and save the driver!"
Boom!
Horse hooves roared, and everyone rushed in.
The imperial palace also had an urn city, that is, a second gate. When Li Xuan approached, he found that the guards on the top of the city remained motionless despite being called several times.
"Sure enough, I fell into the trap!"
Li Xuan turned around and found that the city gate had been closed.
Okay, I've been caught in a trap.
The cavalry were a little panicked. This was a place of death. Once an arrow was fired from the top of the city, the people here would definitely die.
"Li Xiu blatantly murdered the Tang Crown Prince in order to commit rebellion!"
Li Xuan roared: "You abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, open the city gate, and I will spare your life!"
The soldiers on top of the city remained unmoved.
"No need to shout, these are all my people!"
Li Xiu walked out wearing a set of dark red leather armor and a scarlet cloak. Next to her was Li Ziqi, who was also in military uniform.
"How can it be?"
Li Xuan was shocked. Even after Li Yingqi suffered a stroke, he had already replaced these people with his confidants.
"Because I prepared earlier than you. These people are pretending to seek refuge with you!"
Li Xiu sneered: "Also, Han Cangshui, stop pretending, I know it's you!"
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
Li Xuan snorted coldly: "I am the Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Tsk, do you think that you are the only one who knows the forbidden art of using elixirs to create puppets? Unfortunately, Master Sun doesn't know how to do it, but he is a puppet master and is involved in these forbidden arts."
Li Xiu sneered.
"What? His Royal Highness is a puppet?"
"impossible?"
"I said, how come the prince, who has always been indecisive, suddenly became so decisive? Was he being controlled?"
The prince's guards were whispering.
Some people were really worried about Li Xuan, and some people deliberately followed Li Xiu's words and wanted to clear themselves.
In this situation, the prince clearly wanted to lose, so he naturally had to cut off the relationship with him.
"Master Han, bewitched and manipulated the prince with the intention of treason. This is a serious crime!"
Sun Mo appeared at the top of the city. Looking at the people below, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as Li Shimin's Xuanwu Sect killed his brothers.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Li Xuan accused.
"As early as when I participated in the Five Kingdoms Debate in Xijing, I saw that you are not a good person. The eldest princess has no intention of supporting Ziqi to ascend the throne. She did this just to force you to take action and expose your flaws!"
Sun Mo explained.
Of course, I say this to uphold justice, and it sounds nice in name. In fact, Li Xiu really wants to seize power.
"Winner or loser, there's nothing to say. I admit defeat, but don't involve my teacher!"
Li Xuan roared.
"What should I do if this guy doesn't admit his guilt?"
Li Ziqi asked in a low voice.
