The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 118: Palace changes (2)

Views:

After Li Ye returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned Song Jiao, Shangguan Qingcheng, Li Zhen and others to discuss with them the plan to launch the Palace Change in seven days, and the most important thing was to assign tasks.

Liu Dazheng, Mo Dongli and others, represented by Song Jiao, are all real masters. Their cultivation base is at the eighth level of Qi training. Although they are not the opponents of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue fighting alone, they should not be underestimated when they are united.

The second is the eight hundred soldiers of the palace under the command of Shangguan Qingcheng. These elite soldiers are all good at charging and fighting. When Li Ye wants to control the palace, he can't rely on the Divine Strategy Army. He must have his own strength to control the city gate. And important passages to ensure his way of advancing and retreating.

Li Zhen is Li Ye's think tank, and Li Ye has to discuss with him the entire plan of Gongbian, as well as the details of related actions, so as not to leave any loopholes.

Song Jiao and the others were very shocked when they heard Li Ye's decision to initiate the palace change. After all, it happened too suddenly. It was to kill the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, but it was indeed very similar to a rebellion. This was a big test for everyone's psychological endurance.

Song Jiao knew about Li Ye's attack. There were dark men in the Tsingyi yamen who followed and protected Li Ye in secret. At that time, it was Li Ye who did not send out a signal. Shocked less than others.

Moreover, after experiencing the Battle of Bagong Mountain, Song Jiao's ability to endure is the strongest. She took the lead in answering: "Within three days, the masters of Tsingyi Yamen will be able to gather together, seven people in the middle stage of Qi training, and those who are above the third level of Qi training." , a total of twenty people."

Ever since she came to Chang'an, under Li Ye's instruction, Song Jiao has been constantly recruiting troops to expand the power of Tsingyi Yamen, in order to prepare for emergencies. It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers, and now it's time to go to the battlefield. The strength of Tsingyi Yamen is naturally extraordinary.

"As long as they are Qi training monks, call them all!" Li Ye understood Song Jiao's meaning. From her point of view, only those who have trained Qi training at the third level or above can be regarded as having combat effectiveness, but Gongbian is not a vendetta. Role and momentum are also important factors in success.

"Then there are more than one hundred and twenty people." Song Jiao replied. There are not only many magicians in the first and second levels of Qi training, but also easy to recruit, so the number is huge.

There will never be more than a hundred magicians for ordinary dignitaries. Even Wang Duo and Lu Yan's disciples can have twenty or thirty people, which is not bad. The key point, and raising too much, the cost is not small, and it is easy to be criticized.

But Li Ye secretly raised the Tsingyi Yamen, which was the method of raising soldiers. He knew early on that he might tear his face against the Shence Army in the future, so he recruited soldiers without leaving any room.

Li Ye looked at Shangguan Qingcheng: "How about the soldiers of the palace?"

"Soldiers of the royal family, swear to be loyal to His Highness!" Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes were firm, "After His Highness became the noble, he bought a lot of Peiyuan Pills and distributed them to the army, so now there are eight Qi practitioners in the army!"

Li Ye was not worried about the loyalty of the soldiers of the royal family. These were his loyal loyalties. Even if Li Ye raised the flag to rebel, not many people would betray him.

There are eight qi trainers in the army, which may not seem like many, but they are in the army, and with the battle formation, the power they can display is incomparable. If the fifty monks on the first and second floors of Qi training in Tsingyi Yamen were to fight head-on in an open place with eight army masters sitting in command and fully equipped 800 soldiers from the palace, it would be hard to say who would win.

Li Ye nodded, and finally looked at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen asked Li Ye about his plan.

He is a bachelor, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, there is no reason to drop the chain at this time.

Li Ye said: "Although the Chang'an city defense is in the hands of the Shence Army, the management of Chang'an City is in the charge of the Chang'an Mansion. With the cooperation of the Chang'an Mansion, I can take the soldiers and masters out of the palace in batches and hide them outside the imperial city." In the square area, just wait for the time to come, and you can enter the imperial city!"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Why don't you go to the Xuanwu Gate?"

Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of the palace city. If you enter from the south of the imperial city, you have to pass through the entire imperial city before you can knock on the palace gate. But if you attack from Xuanwu gate, you can go straight into the palace city and quickly reach the emperor's bedroom.

When Li Shimin launched the palace change, it was not unreasonable to choose Xuanwumen.

Li Ye's eyes lit up: "This is my negligence..."

Next, everyone discussed the details of the incident all night.

In the middle of the night, Li Yan and Tian Lingzi also rushed over - they had gone back to Prince Pu's Mansion before, and made some emergency arrangements such as sealing off the Palace and summoning experts.

...

Wang Jian was sitting at the door of the barracks, eating a bag of pastries.

It's midnight now, if you don't sleep at this time, you will feel hungry, and he never treats his stomach badly, he eats very attentively, his mouth is full of crumbs, and his eyes are shining, he thinks eating is a good thing It's a serious matter that requires your full attention.

The door opened with a creak, and Li Maozhen, who had just finished treating her injuries, came out of the room, saw Wang Jian sitting on the stone steps at the door, frowned slightly, and kicked him: "Fatty, you didn't Wo or something, sitting at my door eating in the middle of the night?"

Wang Jian didn't turn his head back, because the pastry hadn't been finished yet, so he didn't have time to turn around, and said vaguely: "Sitting at your door in the middle of the night, of course I have something to do."

"What do you have to say at this time?" Li Maozhen had some ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"About tonight's assassination." Wang Jian still buried his head in his mouth.

Li Maozhen didn't answer, and squatted down beside him. As a commander, he commanded five hundred soldiers, and he still had a separate battalion. There was no one else here at this time, and the guards were all outside the small courtyard.

"Have you ever wondered why the lieutenant asked us to assassinate King An?" Wang Jian's voice gradually became quieter, only two people could hear it, with a sense of austerity.

"I only care about missions, and don't care about the struggles of those big men." Li Maozhen said habitually, and wanted to evade it, but because of the ominous premonition in his heart, he asked one more question: "Did you think of it?"

"Lieutenant of the Shence Army murdered King An..." Wang Jian finally finished his pastry, clapped his hands, turned his head, stared at Li Maozhen with bright eyes, "Haven't you heard of the eight The Battle of Gongshan?"

Li Maozhen spread her hands: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Do you think King An will sit and wait for death?" Wang Jian looked at Li Maozhen and asked.

"I said, I don't care! After the task is over, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Li Maozhen said in a deep voice.

Wang Jian smiled, with a strange smile: "It's related."

"What do you mean?"

"No other meaning. Just remembering the agreement we had."

"Agreement?"

"If you are rich, don't forget each other!"

Li Maozhen was startled, his eyes became sharper, and he was ready to strike at any time: "Where does the wealth come from?"

"King An." Wang Jian said.

Li Maozhen's eyes were low: "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything. All I know is that King An will not sit still, and that King An and King Pu, who is now the most hopeful crown prince, have an inseparable relationship!" Speaking of this, Wang Jian laughed at himself. It is a joke to put it on ordinary dignitaries, but to King Pu, it is more important than Mount Tai."

"You know Prince Pu very well?"

"I only know people who need to know."

Li Maozhen's tense expression relaxed, and he smiled wryly: "It seems that you know something."

"I have no idea."

"you do not know?"

"Just a little intuition."

"intuition?"

"I don't want to let go of any opportunity to climb up. But my intuition tells me that there is such an opportunity in front of me!"

Li Maozhen stood up, looked at Wang Jian, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you think King An will win?"

Wang Jian also stood up. Compared with his hill-like body, Li Maozhen was as thin as a weak woman. He said: "Let's fight, life and death are up to you, wealth and honor are heaven. If you don't fight, you will be rich and honor in your life, and go to heaven." I don't know how to give you."

...

Six days passed quickly.

With the cooperation of Chang'an Mansion, more than one hundred monks in Tsing Yi Yamen successively entered the predetermined positions and hid in the houses in the square.

Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org

Tomorrow, the 800 soldiers from Prince An's Mansion will also be dispatched, moving covertly outside Xuanwu Gate and Changle Gate to stand by.

Li Ye's final plan was to attack from the north and the south at the same time.

The reason why the eight hundred armored soldiers didn't move out immediately was because the target was too big. Once they all disappeared in the palace, they might attract attention, so they acted on the last day, trying to achieve the effect of surprise with lightning speed.

The timing of the palace change is set at midnight on the seventh day.

On the night of the sixth day, Li Ye went to Yipin Building.

Next to the stairs in the lobby on the first floor, there is an old storyteller with an erhu at his hand, still spitting.

Huang Chao didn't come.

Li Ye didn't come to see Huang Chao.

On the second floor, on the table in front of Nangong First, there were five wine jugs, but he didn't drink any of them.

Li Ye sat down opposite Nangong No.1.

"You are very punctual today." Nangong No. 1 sat upright, looked at Li Ye and said slowly.

"Actually, I've always been punctual." Li Ye smiled, "It's just that the chief comes early every time."

"If someone invites you to drink, if you don't come early, then this person must not be a good person." Nangong No. 1 said seriously.

Li Ye nodded and said, "What the chief said has always made sense. If that's the case, why doesn't the chief drink?"

Nangong No.1 shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that after drinking this meal, there will be no next meal."

Li Ye was silent, for a while, he looked at Nangong No.1: "The chief may not necessarily make a move."

"I will definitely make a move!" Nangong Yi patted the table, his voice was not loud, but his tone was very serious, and his expression was solemn.

"Why?" Li Ye asked.

"Because I'm free." Nangong No.1 suddenly smiled.

"The chief doesn't seem like a person who is content with leisure." Li Ye said.

"Qin Tianjian is getting more and more leisurely, so idle that he can hardly do anything." Nangong Yi's eyes lit up, "So I want to make some noise to help people in the world remember that there is such a thing as Qin Tianjian in the Tang Dynasty." existence!"

"It's not difficult to torment, but the difficult thing is to choose the object of torment. A person like the chief will not attack people for no reason." Li Ye said.

"Of course." Nangong said first, "If I want to torment, I have to torment that person who makes Qin Tianjian idle and has no authority!"

The rise and fall of Qin Tianjian is directly linked to the strength of the dynasty, so the people who harm Chao Gang are the ones who make Qin Tianjian dispensable.

"This person" is of course the eunuch Sigui.

...

the seventh day.

The last rays of the setting sun poured through the window.

Liu Sanniang is dressing up.

Not for yourself, but for others.

In front of her, the man in green robe sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror. She held up a strand of gray hair and combed it gently, her eyes were full of pity.

"This is the first time for my family to dress up for my husband. This honor, I only dared to think about it in my dreams." Liu Sanniang, a mid-mature woman, said with a smile, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were filled with deep love. meaning and happiness.

"This may also be the last time." The man's voice remained steady.

Liu Sanniang's hands trembled, and the jade comb almost fell off.

She didn't lose her face. At her age, after the world has settled down, even if there is a big thing, she won't have the attitude of a little girl begging for mercy.

Liu Sanniang didn't speak again, she didn't ask any more, because she knew that no matter what the man in front of her did, there was his reason, if he didn't want to say it, she didn't have to ask.

After dressing up, the green-robed man stood up and went straight out without saying a word, telling him where to go, or even thanking him.

Liu Sanniang looked at the back of the man sadly, holding the hand of Yushu, her blood was gone due to too much force, she clenched her teeth tightly, as if she also bit the tears that were about to fill her eyes.

She said nothing.

When he reached the door, the footsteps of the green-robed man paused.

"If I can come back alive, I will eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made yourself."

His figure disappeared at the door.

Looking at the empty door, Liu Sanniang finally couldn't help but burst into tears. She squatted down and tried her best to keep from crying, which made her look extraordinarily hard.

But she stood up quickly and wiped away her tears.

She is going to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

He believes he will come back.

She is not afraid to wait.

She has been waiting for three years.

She has waited many times.
