Li Daozong was sitting in the tower, with all the windows open, letting in a gentle breeze mixed with raindrops, and it was refreshing.
There were no candles lit in the tower. The light from the torches and lanterns outside shone in through the windows and fell on Li Daozong's face. Half of it was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was illuminated ruddy and bright. However, his eyebrows were tightly locked together, and his palms were pressed together.
He is holding a tea cup tightly, his eyes are a little loose, obviously he is not focused enough, he has some difficult questions in his mind and cannot make a decision...
The sound of footsteps woke him up from his thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Yu Wenshiji walking in quickly from the outside. Before he could reach him, hearty laughter could already be heard: "The plan has been implemented smoothly. Li Daliang has instigated most of the Youtun Guards to rebel.
As soon as he takes action, Chai Zhewei will lead the reinforcements of the Zuen Guards and wipe out the remnants of the Right Guards in one fell swoop. There will no longer be any threatening force outside the Xuanwu Gate... Your Majesty, let’s take action!”
The left and right guards were stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. They not only guarded the Xuanwu Gate to increase the defensive strength, but also suppressed the Xuanwu Gate. Once the guards of the Xuanwu Gate changed, they would immediately face the imperial guards in the palace, Baiqisi and the left and right officers outside the city.
The front and rear flanking attacks by the garrison guards will be completely extinguished in an instant.
Now that the Right Guard has been abolished and the Left Guard has taken refuge, it can even withstand the troops rescued by King Qin from all over Guanzhong. Even if the navy gallops from Tongguan and sets off to land in an attempt to attack Xuanwu Gate and regain control of this strategically important place, it will still be impossible.
You will encounter a head-on attack from Zuotunwei.
Li Daozong can lead his elite troops to enter the Tai Chi Palace calmly, kill the emperor in one fell swoop, and determine the fate of the world...
However, Li Daozong was sitting motionless inside the tower, with no expression on his face. There was no light from the fire outside that made his face uncertain.
Life is about choices. Every day, every moment, every step, you are faced with trade-offs and choices. No matter how decisive a person is, they cannot guarantee that every choice is correct. Everyone will make a wrong decision.
However, you can afford to make mistakes in some choices, and you will have to start all over again, but you cannot make mistakes in some choices because the consequences are unbearable. If you make one mistake, you will be doomed. Where is the chance to start over again?
Yu Wenshiji walked into the tower, sat on the side of Li Daozong, and said slowly: "I know that you are hesitant in your heart, but have you forgotten the kindness of the late emperor? You have been following the late emperor since you were a child, and the two cousins have feelings for each other.
You are very sincere, and you are no less generous than your compatriots. Now that the late emperor has passed away, he is still thinking about Yi Chu when he is dying. As ministers and brothers, we should do our best to fulfill the last wish of the late emperor!"
It takes skill to convince someone. For someone like Li Daozong, it is impossible to impress him with fame and wealth. Only with the kindness and friendship of the late emperor can it be possible to make him firm in his resolve.
Of course, what I say now is just a step up and an excuse for Li Daozong. Having reached this point, how can we allow him to change his mind?
Li Daozong was silent for a long time, until a thundering sound of killing came from the north window, then he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said solemnly: "After entering the palace, everything will be under my command. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to interfere, overtly or covertly.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you."
The struggle for imperial power means bloodshed, and it is by no means a simple war. It is inevitable to eradicate the roots. But he is only willing to assist the King of Jin in completing the struggle for imperial power, and is not willing to go too far and wash the entire Tai Chi Palace with blood.
In the final analysis, he just wanted to fulfill Emperor Taizong's last wish, but Li Chengqian was not wrong...
Yu Wenshiji's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, nodded and said: "I can only guarantee that the Guanlong clan will not interfere. I don't know what the other forces will do. However, the King of Jin has a kind heart and always pays attention to brotherhood, so he will not oppose the prince.
Your approach.”
Even if he breaks into the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian cannot die at this time, otherwise it will become a real mutiny. Everyone is a traitor and will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history and be reviled for eternity.
History books can be tampered with, but people's hearts cannot.
Even if they have done everything to usurp the throne, who would be willing to admit it?
Therefore, Li Chengqian must be alive, and then he "comes to his senses", "abdicates the throne" and gives the "zen position" to the King of Jin. After that, the King of Jin is "tolerant and magnanimous" and "cares about family ties" and bestows Li Chengqian with the title of king, and allows him to go to the fiefdom to be raised. Finally,
He accidentally contracted a serious disease and died suddenly...
This is a complete set of scripts, and there must be no mistakes at all. Otherwise, even if the King of Jin ascends to the throne, he will still be a usurper. His name is not legitimate and his words are not smooth. People with lofty ideals in the world will definitely attack him in groups, and the consequences will be endless.
Therefore, Yu Wenshiji dared to agree to come down on behalf of the King of Jin...
Li Daozong stood up and went to the north window. He pushed the window open completely and could overlook the two garrison camps north of the city gate. The two garrison camps were already in flames. The right guard side was completely in chaos. The tents were lit by torches and flames were rising into the sky. Countless soldiers were surrounding them screaming.
There was a scuffle in the Chinese army's tent, and the lights were brightly lit on the left guard side. Countless troops were organized into several columns, holding torches and filing out of the camp like fire dragons, pressing towards the right guard camp separated by a wall.
The breeze is blowing and the rain is falling, but it cannot annihilate the battlefield that is like a fire.
As the armed force that defended the Xuanwu Gate, it also had the responsibility of supervision. At this moment, it has disappeared...
Li Daozong's face was as sinking as water.
Furthermore, you can lead the army from Xuanwu Gate to annihilate the rebellion of the Right Tun Guard, and then work with Gao Kan and others to defeat Chai Zhewei's Zuo Tun Guard, defend the Xuanwu Gate to ensure the safety of Taiji Palace; take a step back, and allow the Zuo Tun Guard to completely annihilate the Left Tun Guard.
The garrison guards eliminated the threat, and he led his troops from Zizhong Xuanmen to rush into the Taiji Palace to end the chaos in Ding and help the King of Jin ascend the throne.
Between advance and retreat, there is a world of difference between gains and losses.
Yu Wenshiji stood behind, not daring to say anything to urge him. At this time, any thought might affect Li Daozong's decision. All he could do was wait.
He believed that with Li Daozong's loyalty to Emperor Taizong, he would definitely make a decision that was in line with Emperor Taizong's last wishes...
After a long time, Li Daozong suddenly turned around, his eyes burning, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Outside the city tower, a school captain strode in immediately: "At the end of the day, I will wait for the general's orders."
Li Daozong: "I'm sending you an order. There are traitors who have sneaked into the palace to subvert the imperial power and murder Your Majesty. I will immediately assemble the entire army. Although I respect Xuanmen, I will rush into the Taiji Palace to save King Qin and help the country!"
"Here!"
The captain was shocked. Although this order was like a thunderstorm that shook his head and made him panic and surprised, he did not dare to disobey the military order and hurriedly turned around and went out to convey the order.
After a moment, the sound of shouting and neighing came from under the Xuanwu Gate. Groups of soldiers ran out of the barracks and quickly gathered under the command of their respective corps commanders, brigade commanders, and school lieutenants. Less than half an hour later, the Xuanwu Gate had already gathered in darkness.
More than ten thousand soldiers were killed.
Li Daozong stood on the edge of the city tower, holding an arrow butt and looking down at the black troops. He let the rain fall on his head and body, feeling hot and trembling in his chest. He said loudly: "The traitor sneaked into Taiji Palace to subvert the imperial power and murder your Majesty. I
As the emperor's own soldiers guarding the palace, you should do your best to protect His Majesty. Upon hearing the order, all the troops will immediately enter the Taiji Palace through the inner gate to protect the palace. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
More than ten thousand people agreed with a loud voice, and the sound shook the sky.
Li Daozong waved his hand, and the troops under the city gate rushed towards the inner gate like a tide.
Behind the inner gate is the Tai Chi Palace.
Standing behind Li Daozong, Yu Wenshiji witnessed with his own eyes more than ten thousand soldiers and horses rushing towards the inner gate. His tense mind instantly relaxed, and his legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Since the mutiny of the Guanlong clan failed and Changsun Wuji committed suicide, he has shouldered the life, death and future of the entire Guanlong clan. It was his long-cherished wish to replace Changsun Wuji and become the number one person in Guanlong, but now his long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled.
There is too much joy, but instead there is hesitation and anxiety about shouldering heavy responsibilities.
Along the way, he worked hard to assist King Zuo Jin in changing his destiny. There were many risks and dangers during the process. A slight mistake would be enough to make him a sinner in Guanlong forever. Fortunately, until now, everything he had planned for was in sight.
Taiji Palace has a strong defense, two thousand regular forbidden troops, more than a thousand elite cavalry, plus Fang Jun's troops outside Xuande Gate who can enter the palace at any time to support, this is a force that cannot be ignored. But Yu Wenshi and
I believe that with Li Daozong's ability, he can command his troops to march straight into the Tai Chi Palace without any worries, crushing all these defensive forces and completely subverting the imperial power.
The sky is like ink, and the rain is falling.
Dawn will be here soon, and the light of dawn will shine all over the earth at the moment when the dark clouds in the sky clear away, and everything will be renewed.
*****
When Li Daozong ordered to assemble the army, the news had already reached the inner gate. Such a sudden change naturally made everyone in Taiji Palace stunned and in disbelief. Who would have thought that a minister with such meritorious service as Li Daozong would be highly valued by His Majesty and appointed as a guard.
The generals of the Xuanwu Sect would actually join the rebels and conspire to cause rebellion?
But the time was tight, and there was no time to pursue the cause. The defense system of the entire Tai Chi Palace instantly reached its limit. Groups of forbidden troops occupied strategic points in the palace, and the elites of the Hundred Knights rushed to the Zhaoqing Palace in groups.
, Ziwei Palace is on the front line. If you enter, you can support the inner gate. If you retreat, you can stick to the Ganlu Palace.
Li Junxian sat in the Zhaoqing Palace and commanded nearby. At the same time, he collected intelligence and submitted it to Wude Palace for His Majesty to make overall decisions...
Although the defenders at Neizhongmen were well prepared, the guard strength of more than a thousand people seemed to be stretched thin. More than ten thousand "Yuancong Forbidden Army" and "Beiya Forbidden Army" came in overwhelming numbers under the command of Li Daozong, launching a wave of attacks without any hesitation.
With the offensive, the solid and thick inner gate is like a small boat in the vast ocean, teetering on the edge of being destroyed at any time.
…
News of the Xuanwumen rebellion spread to Wude Hall like crazy. Li Chengqian got up from the bed and asked Queen Su to dress up. Seeing that the Queen's face turned pale, he reluctantly calmed down. He smiled and patted her on the shoulder, saying warmly.
: "Don't worry, a mere rebellious person who wants to change his destiny against nature is tantamount to turning things upside down and wishful thinking. Just take good care of our children in the palace and wait for me to punish the rebellious one!"
