Chapter 559: The Queen's Fall

The subordinates in Chang'an City soon came with the news that the matter was indeed over, and it seemed that Li Shimin's side should have won, because Cheng Yanjin and the two major gate gods had already begun to personally lead the team out to appease people's hearts.

However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Shi Lei still asked people to go to these houses to find out the wind first, in case the new emperor successfully ascends the throne, and wins them all over? After all, they also have a large family to support, if the conditions given by the rebels are suitable, they may not necessarily fight with others to the end.

In the final analysis, Shi Lei's discipline to all the nobles. There are still reservations, especially if the rebels are really people within the royal family, this is more like a less friendly transfer of power, and everyone's resistance is generally not too strong.

The news of his return once again proved that Shi Lei's worries were a bit redundant, and it was indeed Li Shimin who led everyone to repel the joint offensive of the rebels and regain the throne.

And several veterans dispatched at this time, in addition to appeasing the residents of Chang'an City and giving everyone a reassurance, they also had the intention of recruiting those soldiers who participated in the rebellion before. Li Shimin has pardoned their crimes, and he also wants to put down the bad influence of this rebellion as soon as possible through this form.

Since the most feared situation no longer exists, Shi Lei hurriedly took a small number of people and ran to the city in a hurry, preparing to find Cheng Yanjin and other witnesses to understand what the situation was. If you can't figure out the details, Shi Lei will still feel bottomless.

However, Shi Lei was not in a hurry to let Cheng Chuyue and them come back, so he had better wait outside for two days first, and wait until everything was really settled.

After all, the rebel forces had the intention of using their own knives before, and if they retaliated against themselves again and again after defeat, it is difficult to say what they can do.

"What the hell is going on?" As soon as he saw Cheng Biting Jin, Shi Lei couldn't care about being polite, and asked his doubts very simply.

"Alas...... This time the matter is very wide-ranging, and some things did happen as you said, but I didn't expect them to start together. Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said with some sighs.

Seeing Shi Lei's anxious scratching of his ears and cheeks, he simply told Shi Lei the whole process he knew, as Li Er's confidant, Cheng Yanjin was able to know a lot of details, especially when Li Shimin didn't plan to hide it.

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's rare and patient narration, Shi Lei knew that this process would be so complicated, and it was no wonder that his intelligence channels were fully mobilized, and there were still no high-definition twists and turns.

The first to launch this rebellion was indeed the power of the East Palace, but it was not under the command of the crown prince Li Chengqian, but by one of his henchmen, the chief Ananda, who led the forces that originally belonged to him, and some of the East Palace guards who obeyed his orders to do so.

I heard that Li Chengqian was a little caught off guard at that time, and he could only protect himself under the protection of the East Palace guards led by Xue Rengui, but he couldn't stop Ananda's gang from making trouble. Now some ministers are attacking the crown prince for this matter, which is why there are so many rumors that Li Chengqian started this turmoil.

At the same time that the East Palace took the lead in attacking, there were also some guards in the palace, and many brave eunuchs and palace maids also participated.

And Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, the two key figures who have always had prestige, failed to stand up in time to prevent the situation from continuing to spread, but under the escort of the hundred horsemen, they have been resisting in the deep palace.

At this time, there were also many forces from the Sixteen Guards outside the Imperial City, which gradually took over the city defense of Chang'an City, and at the same time declared a state of martial law.

Seeing that the rebellious forces had the upper hand, and they were about to really occupy the palace and force the emperor to abdicate, Zhang Shigui, who had been serving as the governor of Youzhou, unexpectedly appeared outside the Xuanwu Gate with a strong Liaoyuan army.

In the face of this beloved old superior, who had successfully taken over part of the rebel forces of Xuanwumen, he did not resist fiercely, but was pulled over by Zhang Shigui with a few words and a guarantee, and simply rushed into the palace with Zhang Shigui to quell the rebellion.

With Zhang Shigui's backbone, as well as the strong border troops he brought, the defenders of the imperial city who were still loyal to Li Shimin quickly gathered around him, and the guards who were originally rebellious also chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and turned to Zhang Shigui's side one after another, and followed to help quell the rebellion.

In this way, in addition to the manpower lost at the beginning of the war, most of the defenders of the imperial city returned to Li Shimin's side, and began to ruthlessly strangle those eunuchs and palace maids, as well as those forces from the East Palace, and finally simply surrounded the East Palace.

While the threat inside the Imperial City was gradually lifted, the situation outside also underwent a major reversal.

The reason why the rebels were able to take over several gates of Chang'an City smoothly without much effort was also due to the fact that the guards of the other sixteen guards did not put up fierce resistance. Moreover, these guards who are still loyal to Li Shimin did not directly surrender to the enemy, but were assembled in an orderly manner.

When the rebels were almost jumping, and those who should appear on the stage had already appeared on the stage, Cheng Yanjin and their veteran generals of the Sixteen Guards appeared in their respective teams, leading their forces to easily subdue those rebellious troops.

Especially when the crisis in the imperial city was quickly resolved, Li Shimin, who had just experienced a change, appeared in front of everyone with a heavy heart, scolded the rebel sergeants fiercely, and showed his attitude of not being guilty in the past, even if it was not very strong, it disappeared almost instantly.

Those rebels consciously laid down their weapons, and under the supervision of their original top bosses, they honestly squatted in their original barracks, waiting for the verdict of fate.

At this time, this seemingly huge rebellion, even if it is temporarily over, but this is only a temporary end, and all the people involved in it must still give an explanation, because there are really a lot of people involved in the rebellion this time, and there are several heavyweights.

How to deal with them is not immediately conclusive. More importantly, Li Shimin has entered the imperial city since he completed the pacification of the rebels and has not yet appeared.

However, I believe that when he reappears, it will not be too good to wait for the ending of those conspirators who provoked this rebellion, because Li Shimin's favorite, the eldest grandson queen of the Tang Dynasty, unfortunately fell in this rebellion!
