Sure enough, as soon as Li Lin asked this question, except for a few personal guards standing next to the captain, the other soldiers all looked at each other in confusion.
The Huben Army is the emperor's personal army!
No one can get involved!
However, the prince joined forces with Colonel Huben late at night to blockade the palace.
In fact, everyone can guess what the intention is.
"This discussion was summoned by His Majesty on his own initiative! Your Highness, King of Qin, don't talk nonsense!" the captain explained in a stern voice, and then used his eyes to suppress the thoughts in the hearts of all the soldiers.
"For such a big thing as sealing off the palace, there must be an imperial decree, right?" Li Lin stretched out his hand and asked.
"There is no imperial edict." The captain replied coldly.
"Hahahaha, do you think this king is easy to deceive, or do you think these soldiers are easy to deceive?" Li Lin laughed out loud, knowing that there would be no imperial edict, but he didn't expect the captain's answer to be so straightforward.
Without any cover-up, wouldn’t that amplify the seeds of doubt in Hu Benjun’s heart?
"How could such a big thing not have an imperial edict?"
"I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that our tiger troops are guarding all entrances to the imperial city, and the imperial army is guarding outside the Yangxin Hall. The entire palace is besieged. It seems that something big is about to happen!"
"The Yangxin Palace is His Majesty's residence. What do they want to do?"
Everyone in the Huben army whispered, and the tight formation suddenly fell into chaos.
If you leave without a name, the battle will be defeated!
If you go out with a good reputation, you will win the battle!
It’s not that the Crown Prince and Concubine Dong don’t understand such a simple truth, it’s just that they don’t have much time left, so they have to take a risk!
"Shut up, everyone! Is this something you can discuss?" The captain's face was gloomy, and he clearly felt that the situation was about to be beyond his control.
The Huben Army and the Forbidden Army are all the emperor's personal soldiers. From the moment they join the army, they are instilled with the idea of defending the imperial power.
Their loyalty is not to a certain general, but to the emperor!
Seeing that his strategy was effective, Li Lin immediately said loudly: "Just now, Concubine Dong Guifei and the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army led troops to surround the king's palace. Now the prince has joined forces with the Huben Army and the Forbidden Army to surround the Yangxin Palace! So blatant
You dare to say that you are not treasonous when you commit rebellion?"
"I did see Concubine Dong Gui and the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army leading their troops out of the palace just now. The direction was indeed towards the Palace of Prince Qin."
"Actually, I have long sensed that something is wrong. There are no assassins in the palace. How could Your Majesty let the Forbidden Army and the Tiger Guard Army completely surround the palace?"
"Is His Royal Highness really planning to rebel?"
Everyone in the Huben Army was talking a lot.
Suspicion quickly spread among the army and was out of control.
Some soldiers even put down their weapons and silently retreated to the side.
There is the first one, there is the second one, there is the third one...
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the captain immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Li Lin, "Your Majesty has a decree! Anyone who breaks into the palace gate without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill me? Are you worthy?" Li Lin glanced at the shadow guard.
The shadow guard immediately understood, and in three strokes, five divided by two, the captain and the personal guards beside him were eliminated.
The rest of the Huben Army stood on the same spot, not knowing whether to take action or not.
Immediately afterwards, the shadow guard took out a token from his arms, with the eye-catching word Qin engraved on it.
As soon as this order was issued, about half of the Huben army knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "See His Majesty the King of Qin!"
"Get up! Follow me to the palace to rescue him!"
Li Lin raised his arms and ran towards the Yangxin Hall first.
These old emperors have always used Li Lin as a tool to check and balance the prince, but Li Lin did not completely accept his fate, but secretly developed his own power.
Like the prince, he directly wooed the ministers and got involved in the imperial army. It was too ostentatious and could easily offend Long Yan.
Therefore, Li Lin's first targets have always been grassroots soldiers.
The Xiaoqi camp, the Tiger Guards, the Forbidden Army, the Jinyi Guards, including the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, etc., basically all had close followers of the King of Qin.
One or two people really can't make any waves, but what if there are a hundred or two hundred people?
These cronies are all buried so deeply that they cannot be found under normal circumstances.
Just now, the military morale of the Huben Army was disintegrated so quickly. In addition to the namelessness of the troops, another reason was that someone deliberately incited emotions to disintegrate so quickly.
The remaining Tiger and Ben troops have not yet come to their senses.
All this happened so fast. The comrades who were friends in life and death before became the confidants of King Qin in the next second.
After weighing it again and again, they finally followed.
If you don't follow, no matter whether the prince wins or the King of Qin wins, there will be no good outcome.
If you follow him, you are betting on King Qin!
Li Lin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a proud smile.
From this moment on, the Huben Army was basically under his control.
No one was seen on the way to the Yangxin Hall. It was as if even the mice were aware that something big was about to happen and were hiding in their caves without showing their heads.
Outside the Yangxin Hall, a general with a sword and armor could not help but frowned when he saw Li Lin coming with the mighty Tiger and Ben troops.
Isn’t the Huben Army under the control of His Highness the Crown Prince?
What's going on?
"Your Highness, King of Qin, please stay. The Prince is discussing important matters with His Majesty in the palace! No one is allowed to disturb you!" the Forbidden Army general said with a cold face.
"The same rhetoric again!" Li Lin smiled mysteriously, and then looked at the shadow guard.
Click!
The shadow guard understood this and directly drew his sword to kill the general in front of him, then showed his token again.
After seeing the token, nearly a thousand Imperial Guards all knelt on the ground, "See His Highness King Qin!"
In an instant, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
When some of the Imperial Guard saw their generals being killed, they subconsciously drew their swords to fight.
As a result, before the sword was even pulled out of its scabbard, a third of the Imperial Guards were kneeling on the ground, and the action of drawing the sword stopped abruptly.
"This rebellion! I will only kill the first culprit! The rest will not be held accountable!" Li Lin's rich voice sounded outside the palace, and the rest of the imperial army threw away their weapons.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Lin smiled.
Previously, at the gate of the palace, there was no absolute certainty, so we could only defeat the Tiger Army by attacking the heart.
Now with the Huben Army behind them and one-third of the Forbidden Army, they have an absolute advantage in numbers!
In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to continue to attack the mind, just win it directly!
Many Imperial Guards wisely moved out of the way, and Li Lin led many Shadow Guards directly into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
As soon as I opened the door, an extremely pungent smell of blood hit my face.
The first thing that caught the eye was the corpses all over the ground, and the blue bricks on the ground were dyed red with blood.
Following Li Lin's gaze, he saw Prince Li Yi wearing armor and holding a sword, sitting next to the dragon couch.
Beside him, there were dozens of the prince's personal guards standing.
"There are tiger troops guarding the gate of the palace! There are forbidden troops guarding outside the Yangxin Palace! Why do you appear here?" Li Yi was shocked when he saw Li Lin.
