In his later years, Li Sanlang lived a very comfortable life.
In the evening, I watched the wonderful performances of the children of the Liyuan, and then took the elixir to become a dragon and a tiger, and went to Wushan to fish for loaches with the beauties from the palace.
Get up at three o'clock in the morning and have a sumptuous lunch. In the afternoon, you devote yourself to practicing Taoism to seek immortality. Ask the gods to grant you the magic of immortality, so that you can be the emperor of this world for thousands of years and enjoy the wealth and glory of the world.
On the afternoon of April 17th, Li Sanlang, wearing a Taoist robe, was practicing in the Taoist temple in the palace, and he asked the heaven for help to live forever.
But Gao Lishi's urgent call came from outside the palace door.
"Your Majesty~Your Majesty~~"
Li Sanlang slowly opened his eyes, with a look of displeasure on his face: "I am just about to touch the heavenly beings, but you don't know what to do to disturb me."
"Your Majesty~~~"
Gao Lishi outside the door said anxiously, "Urgent report from the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince has led the armored soldiers into the palace!"
The sound of someone falling to the ground suddenly sounded in the hall.
Gao Lishi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to push the door open and enter.
But it suddenly occurred to him that he could not see the king in such a state of embarrassment, otherwise he would be in serious trouble.
Before hesitating, the door was opened.
The dark-faced Li Sanlang strode out, "Where is that traitor?!"
"The prince has been stopped by the imperial edict." Gao Lishi quickly reported, "The prince does not have an imperial edict and a tiger talisman, so the eunuch does not dare to let him into the palace. At this time, there is a confrontation at the palace gate."
After a pause, Gao Lishi said hesitantly, "The prince said, the prince said."
"say what?"
"The prince said that Concubine Shu sent someone to tell her that there were bandits in the palace and ordered her to come and arrest the bandits."
"fart!"
Li Sanlang suddenly yelled, "Where did the bandit come from in the palace? Even if there is a bandit, when will it be his turn to catch him! Bringing a soldier into the palace is clearly planning something evil!"
Gao Lishi didn't dare to say a word about this kind of thing, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.
The angry Li Sanlang waved his hand and said, "Take them all!"
After finishing speaking, the dark-faced Li Sanlang lowered his voice and asked, "Send someone to Concubine Yang Shu to ask if it is the prince she sent for!"
At the entrance of the palace, Prince Consort Xue Xiu was dancing.
"My good prince!"
Xue Xiu was going crazy with anxiety. He grabbed Li Ying's arm and tried to persuade him, "What are we here for? What are we here for? They are all here, and they don't even dare to go in. This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, by this, this, by this with this one."
Next to him, King E Li Yao also repeatedly persuaded, "Brother Prince, we are bringing Jia into the palace. What's the point in talking about it at this time? Just rush in quickly!"
"We are here to catch the bandits." Li Ying's voice was slightly trembling. "How can we make a mistake?"
When he was in the East Palace, he was still very arrogant, but when he really brought a large number of soldiers to the gate of the palace, he was blown by the wind and his head, which had been dizzy after drinking, gradually sobered up, which also made him sober.
My calves are shaking.
When we got to the door, we were still hesitant and hesitant to face the imperial guards who were blocking us.
Xue Xiu's scalp was numb with anxiety, and he screamed in Li Ying's ear, "My good prince! Don't be stupid! Let's lead troops into the palace, and the whole world will know what this means. What are you talking about about arresting me here?"
Bandit? Do you want to take the big guy to death with you?"
The King of Light Li Ju, who was trembling before and was almost forced to join, gritted his teeth and persuaded Li Ying, "Prince, we have no other way out, let's go! When the garrison is transferred, then everyone here,
And our family is all gone."
Faced with repeated persuasion, Li Ying, who was hesitant, finally made up his mind.
He took a deep breath, pulled out his sword, pointed it at the many palace guards in front of him, and yelled, "I have been ordered to come here to capture the bandits, please disperse as soon as possible! If you don't listen, you will be punished as a bandit!"
Naturally, the imperial guards would not pay attention to him, and formed a shield wall to look at the prince and others silently.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Ying swung the sword in her hand and said, "Charge in!!"
The soldiers of the East Palace, the personal guards of the two palaces, and the men and horses brought by the prince-in-law Xue Xiu all roared and rushed towards the palace with guns and swords raised.
There were soldiers wearing iron armor on both sides. When they collided, it was like the collision of the Great Wall of Steel, and the clanging sound echoed throughout the palace.
Li Ying's troops numbered more than a thousand, far exceeding the several hundred palace guards stationed at the city gate.
Relying on their numerical advantage, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Before Xue Xiu and others could breathe a sigh of relief, the dull and dense sound of footsteps quickly came, and soldiers and horses urgently deployed from other places rushed over from all directions.
At the same time, the sullen Gao Lishi strode to the Dan steps with the imperial edict in his hand, shouting, "Your Majesty has an edict, the prince is plotting to rebel. Those who coerce you and those who don't know what to do will ignore the crime and quickly put down your weapons and surrender!"
"This is a rebellion, this is a rebellion!"
Xue Xiu and others raised their arms and shouted, "Soldiers, please don't be deceived. Fight in, fight in!"
The effect of the imperial edict was not great. After all, for the soldiers in the East Palace and the Royal Palace, their allegiance was to their masters. After all, whoever ate, drank, and took what they had had to sacrifice their lives for them.
Even if Li Sanlang came here in person, not many people would surrender.
"Prince~~~" Gao Lishi, who was hiding behind the group of soldiers, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't make a mistake~~"
"spit!"
Li Ying, whose eyes were red, spat heavily, "Why are you talking about this at this time? You and Yu Gu will shoot him to death!"
Several sharp arrows flew towards him, and Gao Lishi was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and hid behind the soldier.
There was nothing more to say next, both sides started fighting desperately.
The fierce and fierce battle lasted from the afternoon until the sky was filled with red clouds.
Originally, Li Ying's side had the upper hand. After all, they had more people and the quality was not much worse than Gong Quan's.
But the problem is that the prince's stamina is insufficient, there are only so many people.
However, here in the imperial palace, there is an endless stream of reinforcements mobilized from all over the place to rush over to reinforce. They are fighting more and more.
By evening, most of the people on the prince's side had been killed and dispersed, leaving only about a hundred people around Li Ying.
Countless palace guards surrounded them.
After waiting until this moment, Li Sanlang, who was guarded by many soldiers, slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"You guys, do you know the crime?"
The prince, who faced Li Sanlang and fought hard all afternoon, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
‘Clang!’
The sword in his hand fell to the ground. Li Ying slowly knelt down and said, "My son, I admit my guilt."
The princes all surrendered, and the soldiers, who were already in despair, naturally dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"Hmph~~~"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Sanlang was very proud.
He believes that his prestige is still enough to overwhelm the world. He can make the rebels surrender just by showing up. This prestige is enough to control the world at the palm of his hand.
Li Sanlang, who thinks very highly of himself, or rather thinks too highly of himself, overestimates himself too much.
The prince had no choice but to surrender simply because he was completely desperate, and if he continued to fight, he would be killed on the spot.
If the prince's side gains the upper hand, who will give him face?
Li Sanlang didn't think so, he just thought that his face was big enough, and simply brushing his face was enough to overwhelm the world.
All the people were taken away and imprisoned, and the servants carried buckets and rags and began to clean up the battlefield.
Gao Lishi came to Li Sanlang's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu said that no one was sent out of the palace today."
"Um?"
Li Sanlang narrowed his eyes, "Arrange people to interrogate and find out who asked them to enter the palace to capture the bandits. Also, ask Li Linfu to enter the palace."
Putting aside the turmoil in Chang'an City, Li Yunze in the manor outside the city also met Li Siye after dark, who hurried out of the city to report the news.
Li Siye reported to Li Yunze the news of the prince's rebellion and the brutal fighting in the palace.
"What a bunch of rubbish."
After hearing the news, Li Yunze said very calmly, "Since I have made up my mind to rebel, of course I will rush straight to His Majesty regardless of everything. There is something wrong with my brain to fight with the imperial guards at the gate of the palace."
When Li Siye heard this, he nodded repeatedly. To capture the thief, capture the king first. Everyone knows this truth.
"Before taking action, we must first investigate the traces of His Majesty. It is best to bribe the guards of a certain palace gate, just like how Taizong bribed Chang He who guarded the Xuanwu Gate."
Li Yunze continued to comment, "Detailed plans must be made in advance, and manpower must be arranged to block all passages and seal the palace gates. After entering the palace, fires must be set everywhere to destroy and cause chaos, and internal and external information must be blocked."
"Then he ran straight towards His Majesty without any hesitation, demolishing houses and smashing walls. Whoever dared to stop him, no matter who he was, he would just kill him in one go."
"As long as we can capture His Majesty, great things can be accomplished. Your Majesty does not have the courage to sacrifice himself for the country. He used his body to coerce the imperial concubine to withdraw from the palace and force him to write an abdication edict."
"Of course, before that, we have to contact a group of people in the DPRK and China first. After the matter is completed, they will wave the flag and shout to create a trend and seal the coffin of the matter."
Sighing out his breath, Li Yunze shook his head, "Firstly, the prince has no internal support in the palace, secondly, there is no external aid in the court, and thirdly, he cannot figure out the main contradiction. Instead of arresting His Majesty, he is having a lively fight with the palace guards."
. Putting the cart before the horse is extremely stupid. If this could have happened, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago."
Li Siye looked at Li Yunze blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Listening to what King Shou said, this is simply a complete process of rebellion.
"I just said it casually." Looking at Li Siye who was in a daze, Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Don't take it to heart."
"Yes, I didn't hear anything."
"Okay." Li Yunze patted Li Siye on the shoulder, "Go drink."
"Your Majesty."
Li Siye was puzzled, "With such a big thing happening in the city, shouldn't we go back to the city first?"
"What are you going back for?" Li Yunze waved his hand with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and the city gate is now closed. If I rush back in a hurry, I will fall into the eyes of someone who is interested. Don't say this, drink.
go."
The most miserable thing in the world is to be taken advantage of without knowing it.
When she was imprisoned, Li Ying had not yet figured out why she ended up in prison in such a confused way.
But these are no longer important, his fate has already been determined at this time.
