Chapter 107 Sudden Change

Xue Chongxun is now staying in the woods and can only wait for the result under various emotional troubles. In the past, he was thinking about various ways to kill Li Long, including assassin assassination, bombings, etc., but now he can only fight hard with people, which is relatively convenient, fast and effective.

When training the Flying Tiger Regiment in Luoyang, he tried to ask craftsmen to make muskets, which would be best to make sniper rifles with a range of hundreds of meters. Unfortunately, they were all hallucinations. The fire stick-like things made can only hit a few meters away. The sound was quite loud, and it probably could only serve as intimidation. Then he tried to make bombs and mines, but the practical efficiency was still very low. Without the assistance of heavy weapons such as a throwing car, the distance was short, and the bomb was fired without throwing it out... If you die, you could only blow yourself... The power of low-level gunpowder is not much greater than the conventional tinder oil fire attack method of the Tang army, after all, it is not Tien Ti.

Compared with the Tang army's excellent crossbows, swords, crossbows, catapults, and thermal weapons are stronger than them, which is really not something that can be done in a short time.

At this time, Xue Chongxun sent two more guards to the city to contact Fang Yuzhong who was staying in the Duke of Wei's Mansion to learn about the recent situation in Chang'an.

Unexpectedly, the guard brought back a piece of news, which made Xue Chongxun’s expectation: Li Longji took the guard away from the mansion and went to the palace not long ago!

Xue Chongxun looked up at the sunset in the western border. It was almost time for the time being, and what did he do suddenly in the palace? Could it be that our plan had been leaked?

Xue Chongxun led the Flying Tigers out of the Eastern Capital, and there was nowhere to go. Everyone was very sensitive at the critical moment. After reporting to the Prince's Mansion, this news immediately attracted the attention of his counselor Wang Ju. He advised Li Longji: Is there a chance of something going on!

More than 80 years ago, Li Er and Li Jiancheng fought for power. At the beginning, there were no more than fifty people involved in the beheading operation. Now 300 people from the enemy are out of sight... Three hundred people said that there are not many, but at the moment of tension, a small stone is all weight, let alone the 300 armed forces?

Since its establishment last year, the Flying Tiger Regiment has explicitly stipulated that it is not allowed to enter the capital, otherwise it will be punished for rebellion. However, most of the soldiers in the southern yamen, including guards guarding the outer city, were outside the control of Li Longji, and were afraid that they would sneak into the capital quietly.

"How many days have the group of people left Dongdu?" Li Longji asked.

Wang Ju said: "It has been four days now. What we originally planned to do tomorrow morning... will the Taiping people know about it?"

Li Longji thought for a moment and said, "We are the only ones involved in the plan, and even my brothers didn't tell me how to leak it... If Taiping was alert and guessed our intentions, would he guess the day when we chose the Great Dynasty to take action?"

When choosing the Emperor to come to the Taiji Palace, you can quickly control the situation, because the Xuanwu Gate on the north side of the palace is in the hands of Li Longji; if the Emperor is in the Taiji Palace, controlling the Xuanwu Gate that goes directly to the inner court is equivalent to shaking the throat of the entire center. In the past, several successful palace coups occurred at the Xuanwu Gate... so time can be guessed.

Li Longji paced and said nervously: "If something happens in the near future, anyone will choose tomorrow..." After a while, his face suddenly condensed: "Let's do it now!"

Wang Ju hurriedly said: "If we fail to successfully capture the Flying Cavalry Camp of Qianhua Gate, we can only transfer troops from Xuanwu Gate to the south. At that time, the Supreme Emperor is still far away in the Daming Palace. If we take care of both the east and west, things will be troublesome."

Considering Wang Ju's suggestion, Li Longji thought about it again and finally said flatly: "Can't hesitate anymore! Wang Maozhong, you gather the cavalry of the Eastern Palace immediately and follow me into the palace!"

At this time, the eunuch Gao Lishi said, "Your Majesty's two younger brothers are Generals of Ten Thousand Cavalry, and you must notify them in advance to be sure of any accidents."

Anyway, he was about to take action, so Li Longji was no longer worried about the leak of the news, so he asked someone to notify King Qi and King Xue, and when there was a rumor, he led his army south to respond.

All parties were ready, and Li Longji put on his soft armor and led a group of people to the palace city. The place where he handled the government affairs was the Wude Hall, so he could enter at will without any pressure. From the outside government offices to the outside court of the palace city, everything seemed to be calm and orderly. It was sunrise and sunset. Now the sun was setting. Everyone was busy for a day and was ready to wait for the time being to go home to play with their wives and concubines. As long as the drum sounded, they left, and they were in a good mood...

Li Longji and his men came straight to Qianhua Gate, and Gao Lishi immediately shouted: "The emperor is here, where is Chang Yuankai? Come forward and listen to the order!"

The general Chang Yuankai was in the camp before he could finish his duties, and he heard the shouts and watched it on the city tower. It turned out that it was the emperor's ceremonial guard and guard. Because he had just conspired with Princess Taiping a few days ago, he had various worries and natural doubts. However, the emperor's summoning may also be a official business. Should he resist the order in this way?

Just as hesitating, another accomplice, knowing that Yulin Li Ci, also came up and advised: "I'm afraid something is wrong."

At this moment, the burly Gao Lishi rushed forward and shouted with anger: "I am rich in all over the world today. I want to get three hundred free horses. Do you also want to block the opposition and disobey the order? Come out and meet the saint!"

After hearing this, Chang Yuankai was frustrated and didn't bother to think too much and replied: "The city gate is open, please ask Your Majesty to come in and choose a horse."

When Li Longji heard this, he felt a "knock" in his heart, and he knew that the other party was already prepared for it.

Hearing Gao Lishi, he said angrily, "Bold! How dare you disobey the current emperor so much!" At this time, Li Longji said, "Okay! Let's go in and see, how arrogant is this General Chang?"

Li Longji had only more than 300 cavalry around him, but there were thousands of Yulin troops in the camp. He had a courage to judge the situation: Li Longji calmly wanted to enter the city gate; Chang Yuankai was full of fear: he accidentally disobeyed the sage just now. What should I do if the emperor used this as a verbal slaughter when he met me?

He said depressedly: "Maybe the one who really came to pick up the horse today. What should I do if I offend him now?"

Li Ci came forward and whispered: "Anyway, I have planned a big plan for tomorrow. Now I have the chance, so why not take action in advance! Let him come in, and then we will close the city gate with an order, and let the left and right soldiers be in front of us. The troops gather to attack him and cut off his head. The first contribution is to be taken without permission!"

General Chang Yuankai said: "The soldiers were unaware of the situation, and suddenly had an accident and were unprepared. They were taken under the authority of the emperor. What should I do if I can't command it later? Before the formation was still there, their cavalry rushed over and the outcome was unknown."

Li Ci cursed with a look of regret, "Guoyi, most of the lieutenants are promoted by us. Who will not listen to you if you don't listen to you? Can more than 300 cavalry defeat our Yulin Guards? When things are about to come, be decisive!" When they looked down, the emperor led the guards to come here.

At this time, Wang Ju couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, these people obviously have a ghost in their hearts, you can't take risks in person."

Li Longji said: "They don't have the courage to close the city gate immediately and confirm the crime of resisting the order and pursuing rebellion. They are not prepared, so we can immediately turn our heads out of the palace and rush to Xuanwu Gate."

As Li Longji expected, Chang Yuankai was sweating coldly and turned around and shouted, "Close the city gate!"

Li Ci was stunned: "It's better to wait for them to shoot and kill them after nearly a hundred steps. Why miss the opportunity?"

Chang Yuankai said: "How serious is shooting the emperor with an arrow..." and then whispered, "People's hearts are unpredictable. If you do such a thing, aren't you afraid of a general killing us and seeking credit?"

He insisted on ordering the city gate to be closed. Li Longji immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Chang Yuankai, Li Ci, disrespectful and rebellious, has ulterior motives to rebel, and those who beheaded have great achievements!"

Chang Yuankai hurriedly summoned the generals and said, "I want to kill me today. He doesn't have that power. He is a rebellion! We have the Supreme Emperor and Princess Taiping behind us. Brothers will definitely be prosperous and wealthy. If the rebels don't please both sides, they will never end up in a good way, and there will be no burial place to die!"

Zhiyulin Li Ci said: "Let the formation prepare for war immediately! Immediately report to the foreign court, Princess Taiping's Mansion in Zhenguo!"

When Li Longji led his men to turn around and run to Chengtian Gate, he suddenly saw a group of indigenous people coming towards him. The current few people are Xue Chongxun, Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and other prime ministers.

It turned out that Xue Chongxun wanted to kill Li Longji on the road until tomorrow morning, but he had a premonition that Li Longji might take the initiative first. He was worried and didn't care about Jingquan, so he immediately led his army from Tonghuamen to the city blatantly.

As a result, there was no secret at all, and the situation in Chang'an City immediately became tense. The rumor spread quickly, and many shops in Dongcheng City were closed one after another, and the streets became more and more deserted. Most of the people, officials and generals who were eating imperial grain were just preparing and did not act rashly. They were watching the fire from the other side of the river and checking the situation first.

And the Supreme Emperor Li Dan once again proved that he was not balancing and was unable to control the situation at all!

"Flying Tiger Group!" Wang Ju immediately concluded when he saw the appearance of the people opposite him, and then said, "The ten thousand cavalry on both sides will be able to go south soon. Even if he can't take the Qianhua Sect for a while, he will come to pick up His Majesty from several other palace gates in the inner court. The same is true for us to wait in the palace."

Although the way out of Tai Chi Palace was blocked, everyone was still calm. Gao Lishi also said: "Looking at this, the Nanya soldiers and others cannot control them effectively, and they cannot mobilize in a short time. We can stop this group of people training local buns first... Even if the battle is unfavorable, we can retreat to the Wude Hall to wait for reinforcements."

Li Longji heard them analyze it all over the place, but without saying much, he rode his horse and said: "Xue Dalang, are you going to rebel?"

Xue Chongxun shouted: "Li San, you are unfaithful and unfilial son! You rely on thousands of cavalry to force the palace and forcefully suppress Your Majesty to pass the throne. The throne is illegal. Now you have to kill civil and military ministers without power. The palace transforms to eliminate dissidents... Such a traitor is not recognized by people in the world!"

He heard that he called the emperor "Li San" in person, Xiao Zhizhong and others admired his courage... For a long time, the hierarchy was very strict and the distance was clear. Even the ancients who had the opposite intentions were rarely able to maintain their momentum in front of the emperor.

Li Longji was furious and shouted: "Thief, I will tear you into pieces! Come and take it down!"

"Huo!" Wang Maozhong shouted loudly, and he stepped forward, pulled out his waist knife, and all the cyclists raised the Mo knife in his hands.
