Zhang Jianzhi, whose temples were a little white, was shocked. He slowly raised his head, then stood up slowly, bowed slightly and turned around respectfully.
During this process, he still maintained his courtesy to the emperor.
Even though the female emperor is the one they are trying to force into the palace today, as long as she does not issue an edict to abdicate, she will still be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
His eyesight has declined over the years, but fortunately his vision in distance has not deteriorated much, so he quickly saw the chariot and vaguely saw two people in the chariot wearing very strange clothes.
As Zhang Jianzhi stood up and looked back, the other courtiers who were prostrate on the ground also stood up. They frowned deeply as they looked at the chariot speeding along the avenue towards the palace.
.
"I don't know how much you know about Gongsun Lan."
The empress's majestic and deep voice then sounded, "But I definitely know her better than you. She will not do anything impossible. If she feels that things cannot be changed, she will not come to die at all."
Zhang Jianzhi took a deep breath, walked a few more steps towards the front steps, walked on the edge of the platform, and then looked at the fireworks in the city and said,
"Perhaps what you said is right. If she can come here, it means that the situation has indeed developed in a direction beyond our control. But this is the country and the country, and it is about the emperor's surname. Since we have come here, we can't do anything because
These few words of yours will change your original intention."

The empress nodded, laughed, and said: "Yes, I always have to try. But you feel unwilling to do so? Now you think it's just me giving up a throne, it's just a matter of my nodding. Do you think you can continue?"
I have devoted myself to the Tang Dynasty and died for this city, but how did I ascend to this throne? Don’t you know? You feel that you have paid a lot, so how much do you think I have paid? Then think about it, this
Is it about an edict from me?"
Zhang Jianzhi was silent for a breath, then he saluted the empress seriously again, and then said: "Your Majesty, since no one can change their decision, then..."
His words were directly interrupted by the voice of the empress, "There is no such thing as this and that. I don't want our heroic sergeants of the Tang Dynasty to die here because of your stupid decisions. Don't think about doing stupid things anymore, I
I said I can let go of the past, but if you do stupid things again, all that awaits you is exile for three thousand miles."
"At this point, it doesn't matter if we are exiled for three thousand miles." Zhang Jianzhi's face suddenly became determined. He looked at the chariot and said: "Then if the people in that chariot can't get here at all, Your Majesty,
The decision must be changed."
"Very good." Uncontrollable anger finally welled up in the eyes of the empress. She looked at Zhang Jianzhi and sneered, "You are just civil servants, but you can still collude with the military at this time to make these loyal people
You can make a bet with me that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went to die for you, but from now on, the lives of all the soldiers who died because of your driving will be counted on your head."
"If fifty heavy armors, three hundred powerful crossbows, and the swordsmen from Baishui Sword Sect can't stop these people, then it's fate." A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jianzhi's mouth, but the determination on his face was still there.
Without any change, he raised his head
Come on, straighten your spine, "If it is destiny, then let us see that if we fail today, there will be no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who will question you like us. Then please take good care of Datang and let it move towards
Let’s go to a more glorious place.”
"Gamble with their lives?" The empress sneered and said, "In this case, you will gamble with your lives. If you lose, your family will be exiled for you for three thousand miles, and your heads will...
It will be hung on the heavenly stone."
"What a waste of life." Zhang Jianzhi nodded, and the other ministers, all with solemn faces, lined up on both sides of the empress.
"General Li, the matter has come to an end, but please send someone to send me back." On the gate tower of Xuanwu Gate in Ziwei City, a young man with a sad face begged a general wearing chain mail next to him.
"Look at this robe on you." The general's skin was extremely dark. His face was gloomy at this time, as if there was iron dust emerging on his face. He looked at the young man and said, "Is this robe
Once the robe is on, can it be taken off at will?"
The young man lowered his head subconsciously.
He was wearing a dragon robe.
He is Prince Li Xian.
This dragon robe is only qualified for the emperor to wear after he ascends the throne.
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good." Li Xian's body trembled slightly and said: "General Li, you are also familiar with Your Majesty. Do you know that if we give up at this time?
, she will definitely not hold us accountable, especially General Li, she might reward you for your efforts in quelling the rebellion."
The black-faced general whom he called General Li suddenly sneered, "There is no turning back when I shoot my bow. If I regret your words today, then even if I have succeeded in quelling the rebellion, I don't know how many people will be implicated in this."
There will definitely be no good fruit to eat later. And
You must understand that if you succeed in ascending the throne today, then you will be the emperor of our Tang Dynasty. No matter what you order me, I must obey your orders. But you are only the prince now. Although you are wearing a dragon robe, you have not ascended the throne. The prince cannot do it without the military talisman.
Drive the troops, so you can't order me now."
Li Xian suddenly burst into tears after hearing these words. He knew clearly that what the black-faced general said was the truth, but the annoyance in his heart was beyond words. He could only stamp his feet and said: "How can you be so rigid?"
The general and everyone else on the city gate tower did not respond.
They should have great expectations for the heir to the Li throne, but at this time they really couldn't respect him.
Compared with the woman on the throne at this time, this timid prince is indeed too weak.
But that doesn't mean they will change their decision.
Military orders have been passed down from level to level.
Their attitude was completely consistent with Zhang Jianzhi's.
If even that kind of power can't stop the few people on the chariot, then this is destiny.
If destiny wants to continue to hand over the throne to that woman, then this woman will be the destined emperor.
…
The chariot was still not at full speed, but at this time the entire city's attention was far away on the streets behind them. Li Dan's previous order ordered all the sergeants on the road to stay away from this chariot, so this chariot
Driving on the central axis of Shendu was extremely smooth.
When the empress looked at the chariot in front of the Jixian Hall, Lu Shenliang and Wang Li raised their heads slightly. When they saw the reflection of her clothes, they both felt something, as if they felt her gaze.
"ban!"
When the walls of the imperial city appeared at the end of the avenue, and when the cold reflection of the ordnance on the walls of the imperial city danced down like crystal snow flakes, the chariot's speed suddenly slowed down, and at the moment it slowed down, the city wall
A cold voice sounded from above.
"There are changes in the imperial city."
The chariot slowly stopped, and heat surged from the horse's mouth and nose. The driver calmed the restless horse and said quietly at the same time.
"Don't follow us anymore." Lu Shenliang nodded, then turned to look at Gongsun Lan. Although she knew that the other party was one of the strongest swordsmen of this era, she still said: "Follow us later."
.”
"Okay." Gongsun Lan didn't mean to force himself at all.
The driver stood at the front of the car.
At this moment, there were several soft sounds that made him breathe suddenly.
The war horse lost contact with the chariot.
The drag ropes on their bodies were directly cut off by Lu Shenliang.
Those ropes made of tough leather broke easily in her hands like rotten straw ropes.
"how?"
Wang Li didn't understand what she meant.
"Shield." Lu Shenliang spat out two words directly, and then said: "Big enough."
Wang Li was startled for a moment, then he suddenly figured it out, and said with a wry smile: "??????????????? is big enough."
After saying this, his hand fell on the chariot, and the heavy chariot moved with him as if it had no weight.
Gongsun Lan's eyes welled up, and she realized what Lu Shenliang and Wang Li wanted to do. She took a deep breath, tried her best to calm down, and said: "You still have to be careful about the fire attack."
Lu Shenliang nodded and said: "You follow us, you don't need to take action, just dodge."
"ban!"
Before she finished speaking, a second sharp shout sounded from the towers of the imperial city.
"You are banned!"
Lu Shenliang raised her head and shouted loudly.
"ban!"
A third warning sounded from the city wall.
"Fire the arrow!"
As the third warning sound sounded, a military order that seemed to have been impatient for a long time was sounded.
"Buzz..."
An unusually weird low-pitched roar suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, like many huge leather ropes shaking in an instant.
The moment her voice sounded, hundreds of shadows appeared above the imperial city.
At this moment, it was like there were many soldiers on the city wall, and they threw many thick bamboos down at the same time.
But that's not bamboo, that's a crossbow arrow that starts to accelerate crazily!
Crossbow arrows as thick as an adult's arm, like bamboos thrown out by a giant, began to roar through the air. Their parabolas seemed to be different, and they seemed chaotic at first, but when they fell, they all behaved abnormally.
With great precision, they all fell towards where Wang Li and Lu Shenliang were.
Shendu is the largest imperial city in the world at this time, and these troops in the imperial city are not vegetarians.
These crossbows were originally used to deal with siege weapons, but under their training, these crossbow arrows became extremely accurate.
Under the thick shadows all over the sky, Wang Li and Lu Shenliang didn't feel any nervousness. The two even had time to look at each other, and then they lifted the chariot behind them as if they were lifting.
