In the Hanyuan Hall, Li Sanlang, who was impatient to wait, was enjoying the graceful singing and dancing.
Vaguely, Li Sanlang, who was already a little tipsy, heard loud noises coming from far outside the palace, and asked Bian Lingcheng beside him to go out and see what was going on.
"His Majesty."
After a short meeting, Bian Lingcheng, with a smile on his face, trotted back and reported, "A few little Huangmen are ignorant and have offended the Kitchen God. I have arranged for people to deal with it."
"oh."
Li Sanlang, who was holding the wine glass, looked slightly drunk and didn't think much about it at all.
It is unbelievable to say that Li Yunze had already broken through the Xuanwu Gate with his armored soldiers, but Li Sanlang didn't even know that the city was in chaos at this time.
The reason is actually very simple. It is because the manpower arranged by Bian Lingcheng isolated the inside and outside and drove away all those who came to report the news.
At this moment, Li Sanlang thought that Gao Lishi was trying to persuade the prince sincerely.
Countless expensive candles were lit in the main hall, which reflected the splendor of the main hall, which was filled with gold and silver and various bright colors.
In this era, the band that only the top few can afford is playing, percussing, caressing or rubbing to the nobles in the palace, providing wonderful and beautiful music that can be called lingering.
Beautiful girls in palace attire were arranged in rows or columns, waving their sleeves and showing off their white faces, which was a feast for the eyes of the nobles.
After all, it is the palace costume of the Tang Dynasty, so anyone who understands it will understand it.
There is delicious food in front of you and fine wine in your hands.
Li Sanlang was slightly drunk, and everything he saw was smiling.
At this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of relief. This feeling was so wonderful that he could not help but narrow his eyes and experience this feeling that fascinated him deeply.
When he was full of ambition, he unexpectedly saw the loyal prince Li Yu, the next prince he had planned to be, and he was going to change his name to Li Heng.
At this time, the loyal king ran into the palace from the outside with frightened expression and staggering steps.
Looking at the lavish atmosphere in the palace, he took a breath, opened his mouth and screamed like a woman with all his strength, "No! There are soldiers entering the palace~~~"
The Hanyuan Hall was very large, and the music was loud at this time. In addition, Li Yu did not raise his voice in fear. His screams did not cause any waves, but were suppressed by the music.
Seeing that most of the people had no reaction, Li Yu suddenly turned around and looked outside.
Under the dark night, countless torches were swaying like stars, approaching Hanyuan Hall at the fastest speed.
The Imperial Army guarding the Hanyuan Hall were fighting extremely fiercely with the soldiers who came to kill them.
The soldiers with white towels wrapped around their arms were very violent in their attack, and they rushed towards Hanyuan Hall desperately.
Li Yu, who had drank a few more bottles of wine because he was too happy and excited before, went out to change clothes and drink water. Unexpectedly, he saw such a tragic scene.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xing was so scared that he held back his urine.
Looking out at the brutal fighting in the square in front of the palace under the Dan steps.
Turning around and looking at the revelers in the hall, Li Yu suddenly felt that everything was so unreal, as if he was having a nightmare.
Looking at Gong E who was still dancing in front of him, Li Yu took a deep breath.
He suddenly rushed into the palace and kicked the dancing girls away.
This incident finally attracted the attention of everyone who had drunk too much wine, and even the musicians stopped involuntarily.
The music that can make people fall into a certain artistic conception stopped, and the sounds of screams and wails outside the palace, as well as the clashing sounds of weapons and armor, were finally able to be heard.
Li Sanlang asked with trembling hands, "What happened?"
Li Yu stood in the middle of the hall and gasped for air. He took a deep breath and roared, "It's the prince! The prince is coming with the rebels!"
As soon as these words came out, they became the best sobering medicine, and everyone in the hall suddenly sobered up.
"How can it be?"
Li Sanlang, who was obviously at a loss, was still making excuses for himself, "It's impossible, I have an army of one hundred thousand! Where is my army of one hundred thousand? Even if one hundred thousand pigs block the palace, it's impossible for the traitor to do so."
You can kill them all so quickly!"
All the confusion and disbelief were shattered into powder by the increasingly loud noise outside the hall.
The reality is that one hundred thousand pigs can carry them to the front line tomorrow, but at this time they have been killed outside the palace.
The reason is actually very simple. Most of the Imperial Guards sided with Li Yunze.
The rest were either routed or killed.
Li Sanlang, who was in panic, suddenly stood up and wanted to leave Hanyuan Hall.
But at this time, Bian Lingcheng, who was serving on the side, stopped him in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the fighting outside is too dangerous, so it is best for you to stay in the palace."
It was okay to fool the idiot emperor with such words, but even though Li Sanlang was flustered at this moment, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"The prince has been killed outside, why has no one come to report before?"
Li Sanlang, furious, pointed at Bian Lingcheng and yelled, "Is it you, is it you!?"
Bian Lingcheng lowered his eyelids and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, "Your Majesty, I am doing this for Your Majesty's benefit. There is a war and chaos outside. If you go out at this time, you won't be hit by cold arrows. That would be hard to say."
Li Sanlang sat back on the dragon chair slumped, feeling flustered and not knowing what to do.
He had no idea that the situation would develop to this extent. How could his army of one hundred thousand be defeated like this?
Therefore, Li Sanlang's knowledge is still not enough.
If he could witness with his own eyes the difficulties of peace hundreds of years later, and see the tens of thousands of Song Dynasty imperial troops being frightened to the point of collapse by dozens of Jin cavalry riding across the river for reconnaissance, he would probably be able to understand.
After being frightened, Li Sanlang looked at Bian Lingcheng in confusion, "What benefit has he given you?"
Bian Lingcheng's head dropped lower, but he couldn't suppress his smile and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and promised me the post of Minister of Internal Affairs."
In addition to gold and silver, the main benefit Li Yunze promised to Bian Lingcheng was the province of internal servants.
As for the reason why Bian Lingcheng was willing to betray Li Sanlang, the most fundamental reason was that he was very jealous of Gao Lishi.
Everyone is an eunuch, so why are you called the internal minister because you have a part-time job, you are also a feudal lord, and you have all the power in the government?
The courtiers will greet you as prime minister, and the princes will call you "Lord" when they see you.
And I can only rely on your breath?
Could it be that you have more stuff in your crotch than me?
Bian Lingcheng was extremely jealous. Historically, it was because of this that he tricked Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to death. Later, he urged Ge Shuhan to go out to fight at Tongguan, which ultimately led to a crushing defeat. Anlushan's rebels easily conquered Tongguan and entered
Guanzhong.
This person's skill is comparable to that of Guo Kai, the fifth most famous general in the Warring States Period.
Guo Kai single-handedly killed Li Mu and drove away Lian Po. He accomplished what neither Bai Qi nor Wang Jian could do.
He knew very well that Gao Lishi was deeply favored by the emperor, and it was basically a dream to compete for Li Sanlang's favor.
So when Li Yunze reached out to him and gave him too much, he naturally chose to betray.
Never expect any loyalty from eunuchs.
These guys don't even care about their own lives, how can they care about the emperor?
While he was talking, the sound of fighting was approaching the entrance of the hall. At this time, Li Sanlang couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
The defeated imperial army swarmed into the palace, and saw the many nobles inside living in a state of intoxication, with very wonderful expressions.
Immediately, amid the clanging sound of armor leaves, a large number of soldiers with white towels tied on their arms poured into the hall like a tide.
The hall was suddenly filled with screams and chaos.
The nobles who used to be domineering inside and outside Chang'an City now looked at the soldiers in front of them, their armor was scarlet, their bodies were covered in blood, they were holding weapons in their hands but their eyes were red, they were gathered together like quails in fear.
The fleeing Imperial Army kept retreating, and finally retreated to the foot of the throne pill level.
The soldiers who poured into the hall did not pursue them, but expanded from both sides to surround the entire hall.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, knowing that the big shot was about to appear.
Sure enough, after a short while, dense footsteps sounded.
Immediately, Li Yunze's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Li Yunze's armor has also been dyed red. When the battle was fierce, he personally wielded the Modao into battle.
Li Yunze, who held his head high and his chest high, looked around the people in the hall, and finally landed on Li Sanlang on the throne.
With a smile on his face, Li Yunze stepped forward and reached the center of the hall.
With cold eyes, he looked at Li Sanlang with amusement and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to come to the banquet, and here I am."
He came, he just came with an army of soldiers.
Li Sanlang, whose hands and feet were trembling, tried his best to stabilize his figure and did not want to lose his composure in front of Li Yunze.
Li Yunze took a step forward and looked closely at him, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is going to announce that the crown prince will be deposed at today's banquet. Is this possible?"
Li Sanlang, who was holding on to his appearance, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The army was defeated like a mountain. It was already at this time. What else could he say?
He didn't want to talk, but Li Yunze had something to say.
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask your Majesty to clarify it."
Li Yunze said slowly, "How did Concubine Hui die?"
Li Sanlang, who looked gloomy and defeated, lowered his head and still did not speak.
But Bian Lingcheng, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I know this. Concubine Hui was sent to death by your Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the hall.
When the noise gradually subsided, Li Yunze lowered his eyelids and asked softly, "How big of a crime did you commit to do this?"
"It was Concubine Mei who took the initiative to provoke Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui got so angry that she slapped her in the face. Your Majesty had Concubine Hui die because of this."
Bian Lingcheng's explanation caused another stir in the hall.
It can be said that this kind of thing happens in the palace, which is very normal.
It's a pity that the real owner has come to visit now.
"In that case." Li Yunze sighed softly, "Then please go down and apologize to Concubine Hui."
There was silence in the hall, and Li Sanlang remained silent.
This is asking him to die!
Li Yunze stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to abdicate?"
Li Sanlang suddenly raised his head, the anger in his eyes seemed to ignite Li Yunze.
After waiting for a while and not hearing Li Sanlang's response, Li Yunze spread his hands helplessly, "Your Majesty, you are unwilling to abdicate and die, which makes it very difficult for me to handle."
"Your Highness!"
Behind him, Li Siye strode forward with a scarlet sword in both hands and shouted, "I am willing to relieve your highness' worries!"
