In the sixth year of Tang Wude, February 25, morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Inside the Xuanwu Gate.

It wasn't early, but the sun was still covered in thick clouds.

The sturdy Xuanwu Gate isolated the outside from the killing, making the inside of the Xuanwu Gate a little quiet. The spring is cold, but the people standing there are all sweating.

The footsteps came from top to bottom, and Li Shimin walked down quickly with a crossbow.

Li Chao and the other nine generals hurriedly saluted.

"Hahaha, I knew you were coming, I knew it!" Li Shimin's face was flushed, and he patted Li Chao's shoulder excitedly, "I knew that just like when I was in Longxi City, I knew you would come." ”

"The last general promised that His Highness would come, even if he climbed, he would climb here!"

Li Chao's sycophant Li Shimin is very comfortable, how loyal and protective his subordinates are.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Shimin swept the eight generals behind Li Chao.

Eight generals inside the Xuanwu Gate and nine generals outside the Gate, these two groups of people can be said to have laid the foundation for today's success.

"Your Highness, this is not the time to relax, Yang Mao and other six generals are leading 30,000 forbidden troops to come, and General Liu Hongji outside is still desperately tearing and killing. Please give your Royal Highness the order to let me go to the sea pool to escort me! Li Chao surrendered his hand to the order.

Li Shimin originally wanted to go to Haichi to see the emperor in person, but now when he heard Li Chaoyi, he also felt that his idea was a little inappropriate, and it was really not good for him to force the palace directly.

"Okay, this king personally guards the Xuanwu Gate to prevent the prince from rebelling against the party and entering the palace. San Lang, you and the generals immediately go to Jinghai to escort you, and you must protect Your Majesty's safety. ”

Li Chao nodded at Li Shimin, "The last general must protect Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty for an edict!" ”

Controlling Li Yuan, and then forcing Li Yuan to make an edict, this was all their plan after discussing before. Gyeonggi not only has thousands of people in the palace, but also has 60,000 forbidden troops of the emperor.

They took a risk, which amounted to a surprise decapitation operation. Attacked the palace, and still hasn't won, it can only be said that it has won more than half. It is necessary to control the emperor in his hands, let the emperor issue an edict, and order the forbidden army of all provinces in Gyeonggi to accept the control of Li Shimin, and then the people of the Qin Wangfu will take over the military power one by one, then it will be really safe.

Time is precious now, and every minute and every second can make or break it.

Li Chao didn't let Li Shimin go to Haichi, as soon as he came to Xuanwu Gate, he needed someone to guard it in person to prevent people from outside from rushing in. Second, Li Shimin personally went to force the palace, and his reputation was not good. In case Li Yuan presses Li Shimin with righteousness, and Li Shimin does not comply, it will be disloyal and unfilial, and if he obeys, then he will be finished.

At this time, it is better to let Li Chao and other ministers go down to force the palace, and there is no family affection to talk about, and the emperor should have more scruples.

They have discussed the worst possibility, and if they really get to that point, they can only use force in the end, even at the expense of overbearing. If the emperor does not agree, there will always be a prime minister who agrees.

"San Lang, I'm waiting for your good news!" Li Shimin held Li Chao's arm and said.

"Your Highness, please wait for good news!"

Li Chao threw off his cloak, took Wei Chi Gong Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Biting the Golden Bull into Daluo Shixin and other eight generals to get on the horse again, and led more than 100 personal soldiers to kill directly to Haichi.

Xuanwu Gate enters, not far away is the lake hall, after the lake hall is the sea pool.

There are several large lakes here, one of which is called Haichi, and at this time, Li Yuan is boating in the lake.

Several people are racing against time.

General Li Chaojiu led his troops to gallop in, and the palace attendants in the palace jumped and avoided everywhere.

"Who dares to gallop on a horse in the palace, and don't get off the horse quickly!"

A Qianniu guard shouted loudly, and stopped on the road with his hand on the Qianniu knife.

Wei Chigong shouted, and directly urged the horse to step forward, raised the horse lance, and directly pierced the chest of the Qianniu guard. That Qianniuwei didn't understand what was going on until he died.

"Dare to stand in the way, die!" Wei Chigong spurted a lot of blood on his body, and his black face was matched with blood, like a black god!

Murder!

The results are immediate.

There are still a lot of Qianniu guards in the Taiji Palace, Qianniu, Qianniu are prepared, and there are also internal guards. But these people are also on duty in shifts, and some of them are also responsible for guarding the palace gate of the Great Interior, and there are not many people who really accompany the emperor's guards, and these guards are basically the sons of nobles.

Among them, there are also the children of the Qin Wangfu, and there are quite a few of them.

Therefore, Li Chao rushed in with a group of killing gods, and followed the tiger into the flock.

Before the fight began, many guards came to recognize their relatives.

The rest of the Prince Qi Palace, there are still some children of neutral ministers, they still can't figure out the situation, they are already in a weak position, Yu Chi Lao Hei is even more red-eyed, and those who dare to hesitate to block the way will immediately be stabbed.

It doesn't matter if your father is a prince of the country or your grandfather is a scholar!

Li Chao didn't bother to care at this time, he had only one purpose, to rush to Haichi as soon as possible, control the emperor as soon as possible, and get the emperor's edict as soon as possible.

For every minute of delay, I don't know how many people will die.

If the time is delayed in the end and Li Yuan's forbidden army arrives to escort the car, it is not a question of how many people die, but it will be Li Chao and them who die.

It's better to be a friend of the dead than to be poor!

Haichi, on the dragon boat, Li Yuan just received an urgent report, and his face turned white.

"Chang'an is in chaos!"

Pei Lin and a group of prime ministers and ministers who were waiting to judge Li Shimin were stunned, "Chang'an is in chaos? ”

In fact, the urgent report sent over has not yet clarified the situation, they don't know that Li Shimin has entered the palace, let alone that Li Jiancheng's brother has been arrested by Li Shimin.

"The East Palace guards and the Xuanwu Gate Tun Camp Yulin Army fought, and the Yulin Army was defeated. Li Chao, the general of Zuo Yiwei, led more than 2,000 soldiers to Xuanwu Gate and engaged the East Palace, the soldiers of the Qi Wangfu and the North Gate Forbidden Army, and they are still fighting. ”

"Pan Shixing, Yang Mao and other six generals intercepted the soldiers of the Qin Wangfu on Zhuque Street, as well as a team of more than 3,000 people led by many generals. The people of the Qin Wangfu claimed that the prince was in rebellion, and they rushed to escort them, and at present, General Fan Shixing and the people on both sides of the Qin Wangfu are rushing to Xuanwumen together......"

After reading the emergency report, Pei Lin was also stunned.

What is this, who rebelled?

Judging from just a few pieces of information above, it should be the East Palace and the King of Qi who rebelled, because their palace soldiers were the first to attack the Yulin Army stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate.

But the North Gate Forbidden Army that arrived later was the Son of Heaven Yuancong, but it turned out to unite with the palace soldiers, and fought with the army led by Li San, who claimed to have come to escort him.

Several other generals of the forbidden army intercepted thousands of people from the Qin Palace's mansion on Vermilion Bird Street.

It's a complete mess, but they still don't figure out the situation.

"Your Majesty, immediately order the palace gate to be closed, locked, and strictly forbidden to enter or exit. Twelve guards were ordered, and Chang'an was immediately under martial law. ”

Several prime ministers hurriedly discussed countermeasures, and the countermeasures were undoubtedly to keep the palace safe first, and then take the time to clean up the turmoil in the city.

Li Yuan's face was very ugly, and he already had a clear understanding in his heart, his sons had finally killed, and they came directly to the palace, this was the rhythm of cleaning him up first.

"Dock, go back to the Taiji Palace!" Li Yuan ordered.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and as soon as Li Yuan and his party landed ashore, Li Chao arrived with his men and horses in a murderous manner.

Li Chao directly surrounded Li Yuan and his party.

Li Yuan's heart was trembling, but he still had to pretend to be extremely calm on the surface and ask, "Wenyuan, what's wrong?" ”

Li Chao dismounted, took a few steps forward, and saluted Li Yuan.

"Report to Your Majesty, the crown prince and the king of Qi rebelled and led the palace soldiers to attack Xuanwu Gate, and after the king of Qin heard the news, he immediately sent an order to the generals in Beijing, King Qin. The last general is late, please punish Your Majesty! ”

"The crown prince and the king of Qi rebelled?"

"Exactly."

"Where are the crown prince and the king of Qi? Where is the King of Qin? Li Yuan asked.

"The crown prince and the king of Qi have been captured by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is currently guarding the Xuanwu Gate to defend against the attacks of the rebellious palace soldiers and the rebellious North Gate Forbidden Army."

Li Yuan's face was as white as paper, "Da Lang Shiro, are they still alive?" ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, although the crown prince and the king of Qi led the troops to rebel, after the king of Qin captured them, they were only temporarily tied up, and when they turned back, they would be handed over to your majesty to dispose of."

Li Yuan looked at Li Chao, and then at the team behind him, many of them were familiar faces, and there were even many palace guards who were originally on duty.

He saw through everything.

It was not the crown prince who rebelled, but the king of Qin who rebelled.

At this time, Wei Chigong directly took a few steps forward with a horse lance and came to Li Yuan, with blood all over his body, exuding a thick bloody gas.

"The palace soldiers are still in turmoil, please Your Majesty immediately lower the edict and order all troops to accept the disposal of the King of Qin, so that the rebellion can be put down soon."

Li Yuan ignored Wei Chi Gong.

He looked at his ministers, "What do you say you should do when the matter has come to this point?" ”

Pei Lian, like Li Yuan, understood the truth of the incident and became the king and defeated the king. The king of Qin, who launched the rebellion, had already succeeded, he captured the crown prince alive, and also controlled the emperor, and it was too late.

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, the two prime ministers, were originally more inclined to Li Shimin, how could the two of them not understand the situation at this time, so they took advantage of the situation and said, "Jiancheng and Yuanji are jealous of King Qin's exploits and plot a conspiracy together, and now that King Qin has captured them, if Your Majesty can make King Qin the crown prince, it will be fine." ”

Qin Qiong walked out at this time and said to Li Yuan, "Please Your Majesty make the King of Qin the crown prince, and please Your Majesty order all the armies in Chang'an to obey the King of Qin's moderation!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Qin Qiong, still hesitating.

Qin Qiong said again, "Please abolish the construction of Your Majesty and establish the King of Qin!" ”

Li Yuan also knew that he had now become the meat on the chopping block, and he could only know the Tao of current affairs at the moment, "I already had such thoughts!" ”

Wei Chi Gong saw Li Yuan's confession, and said unceremoniously at the moment, "Please Your Majesty immediately issue an edict!" ”

This edict can only be written regardless of whether Li Yuan wants to write it or not.

In a hurry, people took pen and ink, and hurriedly wrote an edict.

Li Chao took the holy decree and said to Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, "Now that there is turmoil outside, please return to the dragon boat for a while, and wait for good news there." Please two generals to keep Your Majesty safe! ”

Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong nodded together.

Li Chao left the soldiers and horses behind, and then took Cheng Biting Jinniu Jinda, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, and Su Dingfang, five generals, received Li Yuan's edict, and brought Xiao Yu and Yu Wenshi and two with them, and rushed to Xuanwu Gate first.

Li Chao rushed to Xuanwu Gate, and Li Shimin immediately greeted him.

"How?"

"Your Majesty has written an edict, and all soldiers and horses in Chang'an obey the orders of King Qin!"

With this edict, Li Shimin knew that the big thing had been accomplished, and happily patted Li Chao's shoulder.

The right servant shot Xiao Yu on the Xuanwu Gate, holding the emperor's edict, and personally reading the edict.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Several of the troops stopped.

Feng Li, Xie Shufang and others couldn't believe it, and at this time, Yu Wenshi pushed Li Jiancheng to the city tower.

The first to stop their weapons was the North Gate Guard.

They were convinced that it was the rebellion of the King of Qin, but now that the prime minister brought the emperor's edict, saying that it was the prince's rebellion, they naturally obeyed the emperor's edict.

"Don't believe them, Your Majesty has been controlled by King Qin, everyone join us to enter the palace and rescue Your Majesty!"

However, at this time, the soldiers were no longer willing to fight.

Even if King Qin rebels, King Qin controls His Majesty, what else is there to fight?

Li Shimin took the opportunity to shout from the city gate, "The crime is only related to Jiancheng and Yuanji, as long as the rest of the people lay down their weapons, they will not be blamed for the past!" If there are those who continue to resist and rebel, they will be killed without mercy, and the whole clan will be exiled! ”

"Lay down your arms and don't blame the past!"

"Resist stubbornly, and you will not be forgiven!"
