After Li Xian came out of the political hall, he led his trusted generals Gao Sheji, Zhang Deyu and others to lead a thousand elites and a hundred monk soldiers, as well as all the close officials, both overt and covert, to enter through the palace gate guarded by Li Duozuo.
, and went directly to Empress Wu's palace.
When Li Xian's army walked to the gate of Empress Wu's palace, they saw a man shouting loudly: "Who is it? How dare you break into the palace at night and live impatiently?"
I saw Li Xian shouting loudly: "Wu Youji, my good brother-in-law, how have you always been?"
It turned out that that person turned out to be the newly appointed Prince Consort, Wu Youji, the husband of Princess Taiping. Now he has been appointed as the general of the Zuojian Gate Guard. In terms of authority, he is still superior to Li Duozuo. However, because he and Empress Wu planned to depose Li Xian tomorrow.
, so ten thousand troops were gathered in Empress Wu's palace. He heard the commotion outside and didn't know what was going on. He was hesitant in his heart, but saw Li Xian leading his army to break in. He asked, but
Unexpectedly, the visitor turned out to be Li Xian.
Although Wu Youji was unwilling to salute Li Xian, he could only bow his hands slightly, then frowned and said: "It is late at night now, and the Queen Mother has already rested. Your Majesty, please come back."
But Li Xian said loudly: "My good brother-in-law, since I came to see my mother all night, I naturally have something to do. In this late night, Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianxu and Gal Gongren secretly mobilized their troops and planned a rebellion. Fortunately, I
Decisive decision-making, captured Cheng Wuting, killed Zhang Qianxu, but allowed Gal Gongren to escape. I was concerned about the safety of my mother and came here to visit. In addition, after careful investigation, I discovered that Pei Yan was ordered by Zhongshu Ling.
Tampering with the late emperor's edict is really not a trivial matter, I want to discuss it with my mother."
"Ah? Pei Yan tampered with the imperial edict? This, how is this possible? Is your Majesty kidding?" Wu Youji couldn't help but laughed bitterly after hearing this, and then continued: "Your Majesty also said that Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu were conspiring to rebel. This matter is even more ridiculous.
It's possible. They are still on the front lines resisting the rebels. How could they suddenly lead their troops to rebel? Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Li Xian laughed and said: "With all the witnesses and material evidence, there must be no misunderstanding. General Wu, please get out of the way. I want to lead the ministers to see my mother."
Wu Youji yawned and said slowly: "It's too late. The Queen Mother has already rested. If your Majesty has something to do, let's do it tomorrow."
Li Xian heard this and said flatly: "No, the matter is urgent. I must see my mother tonight, and then you can tell me if you don't worry about it."
Wu Youji said coldly: "I'm sorry, I can't do it tonight. It's my responsibility as a humble minister. Please forgive me."
Suddenly I heard a shout: "Wu Youji, you are just my royal son-in-law. If it weren't for me, how could you have achieved such a position as the general of the left prison guard? How dare you confront me here?"
My imperial brother is showing off his power, you are really brave, get out of here!"
Wu Youji's face froze, and then he saw Princess Taiping coming in front of him, and he said in a hateful voice: "Bitch, don't think that just because you are a princess, you can treat me like this. No matter how high your status is, you are still from my Wu family.
Wife, you dare to insult your husband like this in front of others. When you return home, I will definitely treat you as a family. Get out of the way quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not respecting the relationship between husband and wife. I will kill you for violating military discipline.
kill!"
It turned out that Wu Youji was very angry with Princess Taiping because his first wife was poisoned before she got married. In addition, Princess Taiping believed that she was the queen mother, so she didn't treat him with any pretentious words. Instead, she blatantly searched for lovers.
Therefore, there is no real relationship between the two of them as husband and wife. They have always lived their own lives without interfering with each other. Now that he saw Princess Taiping helping Li Xian, he suddenly felt that he had found an excuse, so he wanted to make an excuse to kill her.
Princess Taiping beheaded her in order to avenge her original wife and relieve the bad breath in her chest.
At this time, Li Xian sneered and said: "You insulted the eldest princess in this way. It seems that you are also a rebel. Tonight, your two brothers Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi have been killed because of rebellion. I originally thought that
Regarding your relationship with my little sister, I wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Now it seems that I have no choice but to end the relationship out of justice."
As Li Xian spoke, he threw a baggage towards Wu Youji.
When Wu Youji heard what Li Xian had just said, his expression suddenly changed. He opened the baggage with trembling hands, and immediately saw two bloody human heads there. When he looked closer to the fire, he found that they were indeed Wu Chengsi and Wu
After thinking twice, his face suddenly turned pale. He pointed at Li Xian and stammered: "Li, Li Xian, you are so cruel. After all, they are also your cousins. They are so cruel. Seriously?"
They were killed!"
Li Xian said leisurely: "Don't blame me for this. When I led the army to Nanya, I originally wanted to ask them to help me investigate Pei Yan's forgery of the imperial edict, but I didn't expect these two brothers.
They actually insulted each other. I am the majestic king of the Tang Dynasty and represent the face of the Tang Dynasty. They even dared to insult me and committed the crime of bullying the emperor. I asked them to apologize. Not only did they not obey, but they wanted to assassinate me.
In this case, I have no choice but to order people to kill them. General Wu, please tell me, if I don’t severely punish these rebels, how can we stabilize the Tang Dynasty?"
What Li Xian said is basically the truth, but Li Xian concealed something. Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi made rude remarks at the time, but they only wanted to take action after being deliberately provoked by Li Xian. Li Xian used the topic to criticize them.
He conspired to rebel, and was beheaded on the spot by Gao Sheji, the general beside Li Xian.
In fact, although the two Wu Chengsi brothers now have high status, Li Xian killed them like killing chickens. If it were not for strategic purposes, they would not even be qualified to be mentioned in front of Li Xian.
When Wu Youji heard this, he was furious and immediately ordered: "All officers and men in the army, send me an order to kill all the rebels here. No one will be spared. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Unexpectedly, Li Xian immediately sneered and said: "Now you can't help but show your true colors? Since you are stubborn and rebelled, I will naturally not be polite to you. Come, Wu Youji rebelled,
The crime is unpardonable, kill me!"
"Yes." Then he saw Gao Sheji leading a thousand men under his command, and started killing Wu Youji's army.
But at this moment, loud shouts were heard, and then the hundred monk soldiers beside Li Xian moved together. In just a moment, they came to Wu Youji's side, and then after his reaction
Before he came over, he put the horizontal knife on his neck, and before the other party could react, he cut off Wu Youji's head with one blow. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
