The rain fell overnight and stopped the next morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the rain stopped, Li Shimin's funeral began.

Because it is the emperor's funeral, the procedures are cumbersome, and there are three bows and nine knocks.

And everyone went directly from Cuiwei Palace to Zhaoling.

Empress Changsun was buried in Zhaoling, and Li Shimin had instructions before he died, he wanted to be buried with Empress Changsun.

When Li Shimin entered the soil for peace, he was already the king of heaven, and the ministers knelt down around Zhaoling, and they wept bitterly, and Li Zhi was even more so, he not only had to cry bitterly, but also made it clear to Li Shimin that he had changed the edict.

And when they were crying bitterly in Zhaoling, the capital Chang'an was a different scene.

The night is getting deeper, because Li Shimin died, and the new emperor is not in the capital, so there are a little more people patrolling the night than usual, but Chang'an is very large, Li Zhi went to Cuiwei Palace to take away a large number of people, and the garrison of the capital is much less than before, so even if there are many people patrolling the night, the strength of the capital is not strong.

And at this time, in different places in the capital, waves of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, and these black-clothed people rushed directly to the Xuanwu Gate after they emerged, and finally turned in front of the Xuanwu Gate.

There were quite a few of them, always about a thousand.

After their turn, without warning, they suddenly launched an attack on the Xuanwu Gate.

And just when these people attacked, the guards of Xuanwu Gate had already noticed something unusual, and hurriedly reported to Xue Rengui, the general guarding Xuanwu Gate, Xue Rengui heard that there were men in black attacking Xuanwu Gate, and his heart was suddenly shocked, or he was overjoyed.

Li Zhi asked him to guard the Xuanwu Gate, if nothing happened, he, the general who guarded the Xuanwu Gate, would have no merit, but if someone attacked the Xuanwu Gate and was suppressed by him, then he would have made a meritorious service.

If you want to realize your value, you have to fight.

Xue Rengui is not only a fierce general, but also very skilled in the art of war, he led people to the city tower, saw that there were about a thousand black-clothed people below, and his brows were slightly condensed, Xuanwu Gate here, there were about 500 soldiers guarding the town, and there were more than 800 people in the other imperial gates, and the four city gates of Chang'an, the capital, each had 1,000 soldiers and horses.

The rest were patrolling in different places, which was already the only regular army strength in the entire Chang'an City, and the others were taken away by Li Zhi.

Originally, he thought that Chang'an City was impregnable, and it was impossible for any traitors to rush in, and even if they rushed in, they should attack the city gate first, but Xue Rengui did not expect that the enemy had already lurked in Chang'an City.

The enemy is attacking the city, they don't have any heavy siege tools, they can only use ladders and some things to climb the wall, but these things are also very powerful.

The gates of the palace were not necessary, there were logs and stones, there was nothing here, and all they could do to suppress these people was to shoot with sharp arrows.

And just when the soldiers of the Xuanwu Gate suppressed these black-clothed men with sharp arrows, one of the soldiers said to Xue Rengui: "General, send someone to ask for help from the soldiers of the North Gate, so that the two of them will attack, and we will win." ”

Xue Rengui frowned slightly, if a group of people could attack these enemies from behind, they would naturally be easy to win, but if the soldiers from the north gate were transferred over, what if someone attacked the city, the north gate was empty, the enemy attacked in a big way, and the entire Chang'an City was finished.

Therefore, Xue Rengui did not consider this suggestion.

He looked at the enemy, took the bow and arrow from the hand of one of the soldiers, and then shot out a few with a brush, and the sharp arrows attacked, and someone was killed immediately under the city, but the men in black are not stupid, they will definitely use sharp arrows to suppress the people on the city tower and cover for their people.

The fight continued, and the strength of the two sides was comparable.

After the siege lasted for a stick of incense, the patrolling soldiers had already heard the movement and rushed to the Xuanwu Gate, there were not many people patrolling the streets, after several groups of people turned to one place, there were only more than a hundred people, although the others also had them, but they were patrolling in other places, those places were far away from the Xuanwu Gate, they couldn't hear it at all.

Xue Rengui saw the people patrolling the street coming from behind, took out his blade, and said to his soldiers: "The Holy Lord handed over this palace gate to us to guard, that is to trust us absolutely, what should we do?" ”

"People are at the door, and people are dead at the door."

"Okay, brothers, go out with me and break the net with the enemy."

When the people who patrol the streets come, they will inevitably hurt their own people by shooting arrows, and if they don't rush out, all those who patrol the streets will die, so the only thing they can do now is to fight with these people.

Xue Rengui was already a fierce general, and after shouting, he rushed out with his blade: "Kill ......"

Xue Rengui took the lead, everywhere he went, the enemy fell to the ground one after another, and all the soldiers saw that their general was so powerful, and there was still cowardice, and they all rushed up with weapons, and the fight was carried out in front of the palace gate, and the entire Chang'an was stained with blood, and many people hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

People who had just been quiet for a few days suddenly lost confidence in the future again.

Who is this throne, and who will be their son of heaven?

In fact, for many people, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they can live a stable life.

Kill, kill.

And just when the killing in front of the Xuanwu Gate was not stopping, a black-clothed enemy of more than a hundred people quietly came to the royal manor.

They can all come in Chang'an City, let alone outside Chang'an City.

These people quickly surrounded the Tang family's manor, and they wanted to control Tang Zhou's family, which was also the order of Li Ke, the king of Wu.

In fact, for Tang Zhou, Li Ke, the king of Wu, couldn't say that he was particularly angry, but he just felt lost because he didn't choose himself, and he even thought that even if he became the emperor one day, he would still be important to Tang Zhou, because he had this strength.

But when fighting for the throne, he must first control Tang Zhou.

Among so many courtiers, Tang Zhou is the most feared by Li Ke, the king of Wu, and if he wants Tang Zhou to obey his orders, the only way is to control Tang Zhou's family, he doesn't believe that Tang Zhou's family is in his hands, what else does he dare to do?

If there is no Tang Zhou's family, with Tang Zhou's ingenuity, Wu Wang Li Ke really has no confidence.

More than a hundred black-clothed people came to the gate of the Tang family manor, and then they began to attack, although the wall of the Tang family manor was higher and thicker than that of ordinary people, but it was not comparable to the city wall, so if they wanted to attack it, it was still very easy.

And just when they started to attack, in the Tang family manor, there were many anxious people standing outside Princess Danyang's house, because later today, Princess Danyang suddenly felt very painful, Lin Qingsu saw it, and knew that it was a sign that she was about to give birth, so she had been in the house to help with the stable woman who had been arranged by Tang Zhou.

Princess Danyang screamed in pain, the people outside the house were very anxious, Qin Shu was even more anxious to walk around, and at this time, a subordinate hurriedly came to report: "Madam, someone is attacking our Tang family manor." ”
