then the gate of heaven. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Also known as the Heavenly Gate, Hankyo is located at the main gate of Miyagi in the northwest.
Then Tianmen is an important place for the imperial court to hold major state affairs, the emperor ascends the throne of the imperial pole, the first day, the winter solstice dynasty, the amnesty of the world, when all countries come to the court, the emperor is here.
Hanjing is the Gate of Heaven, which is similar to the Beijing Gate in later times.
At the gate of Daming Palace, there was a small episode, but the little rebels were quickly annihilated by the other forbidden troops who rushed to Li Yuan.
Chai Shao took the lead and led them to the south gate of Ziwei Palace, the gate of heaven.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!"
Then Tianmen has been taken over by the forbidden army loyal to Li Yuan, and the guards of Tianmen will welcome out with their soldiers.
"Greetings!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Countless people knelt down and worshipped, and the mountains shouted long live.
Li Yuan rode on a golden sweaty horse, looking at the scene of everyone kneeling, with a smile on his face, he rode out of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, be flat!"
Looking at the open gate of heaven, Li Yuan sighed, he finally came back. Although this is not Chang'an, this is not Xuanwu Gate, it is a little regrettable.
Behind him, Pei Lian, Feng Lun, Xiao Yu, Chen Shu, Da Wen, Daya, Li Xiaogong, Luo Yi, Chai Shao, Dou Dan, ······ A large group of important ministers were there.
He urged him to step off his horse and slowly enter the Heavenly Gate.
Enter Ziwei Palace, outside the Zhenguan Hall of the Golden Palace.
A group of guards were standing there, fully armed, spreading out like goose wings to protect the Golden Temple.
From head to toe, they were surrounded by dazzling plate armor, long red cloaks hung behind them, and each had a holster strap on their bodies, and several flintlock pistols hung from their bodies.
Behind them, at the door of the Zhenguan Palace, the Empress Changsun was standing there with a group of imperial concubines and princesses.
Empress Changsun was covered with a bright light armor and held a crossbow in her hand, and the concubines behind her were also holding swords.
There are not many guards guarding here, and many of them have turned their allegiance to the emperor. Others wavered, and when they saw that the tide was gone, they all laid down their swords.
The prince sent someone to the palace as soon as possible to take the queen and them to the East Palace, but they were still a step late. The people on the Emperor's side quickly blocked the palace.
About 500 of the guards, who were still loyal to the emperor, gathered in the Zhenguan Hall and protected the queen here.
But at this time, the soldiers and horses brought by Li Yuan were more than ten times that of the queen's guards.
Li Yuan walked to the front of the hall, he looked at his second daughter-in-law, who had been filial to him before, and his other daughters-in-law and grandchildren, holding a sword at him like a great enemy, and sighed.
"Changsun Clan, you don't have to do this, put down your weapons, I won't hurt you."
Empress Eldest Sun, who was wearing a steel helmet, raised the crossbow machine a little, "Father, why do you want to be like this?" ”
Li Yuan laughed, "You ask me why I'm like this?" How so? You say in front of these grandchildren of mine, why do you say so? Haven't you experienced the changes in Xuanwumen three years ago? When your husband, my good son, suddenly led his troops into the Xuanwu Gate and rushed to Jinghai, don't you know what happened? ”
"Three years ago, the people of the world usurped my throne, and today, I am just taking back what belongs to me."
Empress Eldest Sun was silent.
Then she still didn't let go of the crossbow in her hand.
"Father, the events of the year have passed, and the scars have healed, so why tear them up again?"
Li Yuan sneered.
"I order you to put down your swords and guns immediately." He shouted at the guards.
Li Yuan turned to Empress Changsun, "Eldest Sun, you are a smart person, you know, the general situation has changed, and now Hanjing is under my control. You're a mere 500 people, but you're just a mantis arm blocking the car. Do you really want to make it so ugly in the end, you don't want to think about your children, think about Erlang's other children? They are also my grandchildren, but if it is because of your stubborn resistance, the final result may not be the end. ”
"They are also His Majesty's family!" Empress Eldest Sun said in horror.
"Yes, I'm still Shimin's father, Yuanji is still Shimin's brother, and Jiancheng is still Shimin's brother-in-law. But have the people remembered our father-son affection, or our brotherhood with them? He took the throne of me, robbed Yuanji's wife, and his brother, does he still have any family affection? If you resist, I won't be polite. ”
Li Yuan said, "Eldest grandson, now you immediately put down the weapon in your hand, and then kneel, I can not hurt you." ”
The eldest grandson looked at these people around him, and his eyes were full of pain.
"Your Majesty, please assure me that when they lay down their arms, you will not hurt any of them."
"I promise!" Li Yuan nodded.
Empress Changsun pulled her sons Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Liqing, the princess of Changle, behind her, and the two young children were already sensible and understood what these meant in front of them.
"Don't be afraid, that's your imperial grandfather, go over."
She pushed the two children, and Li Tai and Li Lizhen turned back one step at a time.
A smile appeared on Li Yuan's face.
The eldest grandson asked the other concubines to also put down their swords, "The sword in your hand can't protect you, take your children and go over." ”
The concubines hesitated.
"Go ahead."
Li Lizhi turned around and ran back, "Queen Mother, I don't want to be separated from you." The princess asked the queen with a sad face, "Where is my father, why didn't he come?" ”
"Lizhen, go to your imperial grandfather, don't be afraid, don't worry, everything will be fine."
The other concubines had gone, but the Yang family had stayed. In the emperor's harem, there are large and small Yang concubines, as well as this Yang family, she was once the princess of Qi, and later entered the palace, but she was also criticized. But Empress Eldest Sun treated her well, and she knew that she couldn't go back.
Emperor Taishang's restoration is successful, and King Yuanji of Qi will definitely come back, how did she face Yuanji at that time.
"The eldest grandson, the Yang family, you two also come over." Li Yuan said to the two daughters-in-law who were still standing there.
"Father, we won't go. I'm not going to let myself be a bargaining chip for you to blackmail Jiro. ”
"Eldest grandson, don't come nonsense." Li Yuan shouted angrily, "Luo Yi, discard these guards." ”
Luo Yi, who was wearing iron armor, drew his sword without hesitation and stepped forward.
A large number of forbidden troops followed one after another.
"I'm not going to surrender." The eldest grandson said that she had been thinking about the current situation for a long time. The son is in the East Palace, and the central ministers of the court have also retreated into the East Palace, where there are still thousands of East Palace guards, and for a while, the East Palace is relatively safe.
The husband is far away in the Western Regions, but after knowing the news here, he will definitely rush back.
If she lays down her arms, the Emperor will definitely use her to threaten the crown prince and the emperor.
I'd rather die, she wouldn't let him be complacent.
The consequences of revolting would be severe, but she had thought about it clearly.
"Up!" Luo Yi shouted loudly.
The forbidden army hesitated, but still approached step by step.
The eldest grandson held the crossbow and detained the sheet metal machine against Luo Yi.
The bolt flew out, but it hit a man next to him, and was blocked by the shield.
Li Yuan ordered in a cold voice, "Kill all these rebellious ministers and thieves, but don't hurt the Changsun clan and the Yang clan." ”
Luo Yi had a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and personally rushed to the front.
In front of the Zhenguan Palace, the two teams immediately fought together.
The queen's guards fought bravely, slashing swords and shields, slashing swords, stabbing spears, and shooting with handcuffs, killing and wounding many people, but the opponents were more numerous.
Luo Yi picked up the knife in the hand of the eldest grandson queen with a sword, and the sword was directly in front of the queen.
He sneered proudly, "Li Shimin would never have thought of today." ”
