Chapter six hundred and ninety first disaster caused Xiao Qiang
The jade fight of Liu Lang is thrown to the ground, and the sail is hung on the small boat of Xizi. The romance of the past is here now, and the fame and achievements of thousands of miles will not rest. The king has three hundred states.
Little sparrows know that swans and cicadas are out of their pockets. But they laugh at Luxi as if it is as big as a bucket. Are you willing to try your hand at a bull's knife? Shoujun Shuangyu Ou.
——"Broken Array·Throwing Liu Lang and Yu Dou" Xin Qiji [Song Dynasty]
…
Bai Fu's judgment was correct. Dr. Yinqing Guanglu and Siqi Wang Lizhen were the leaders of this coup.
Li Zhenyi, the king of Siqi, watched Fengwei and was a member of the Zhengqing of Wai Zong. He always had a good relationship with Zhu Rong, the general of Weizhou Town. Li Zhen's appearance was very similar to that of Xuanzong, and he always boasted of being extraordinary.
Zhu Rongnai, the general of Yuzhou, was a devout believer in Maitreya.
When the Maitreya sect's pope, Zuoyu Lin Zhonglang General Liu Huan, hinted to Zhu Rong that Su Zong's strength was exhausted and destiny was on Li Zhen, Zhu Rong was overjoyed.
Liu Huan cast a spell, and Zhu Rong saw from the Xuantian Mirror that there was purple energy on the top of the head of Li Zhen, the king of Siqi, which was exactly the appearance of the Nine-Five Lord.
Because he resembled Xuanzong, Siqi King Li Zhen always thought highly of himself and believed Liu Huan's deceptive words. From then on, he had ulterior motives and secretly made friends with party members.
After several years of operation, Li Zhen's party has formed a force that cannot be underestimated in both the military and political circles, both inside and outside the government. The core party members include: General Liu Congjian of the Youyu Lin Army, General Dou Ruping of the Youwei Guard, and General Youwei.
Hu Lie, Youwu Guard Cao Canjun Jiao Zirong, Yuzhou Town General Zhu Rong;
Gao Baosu of Tiantai Tongxuan Academy of Zhisi, Zhang Huan, Guangwen Jinshi of the Imperial Academy, Cui Chang, the envoy of the imperial capital;
Chen Hong, the governor of King Chen (Li Gui), Zhang Ang, the Sima of Chuzhou, and Li Qi (the clan member) of the former Fengxiang Prefecture and Xi County...
In addition to the civil and military officials of the imperial court, even in the imperial palace, there were also members of Li Zhen, the king of Siqi, in the East Palace, such as the prisoner Wang Daocheng who served as a visitor to the province; the prince Yousi Yu led the palace to lead Wei Zhao, and the prince Xima and knew Si Tiantai for internal examination
Zhao Feixiong, director of the Ministry of Industry, and others.
…
At that time, Wu Zhao's dynasty massacred the Li Tang clan. As the sons of Ruizong Li Dan, the five brothers Li Xian, Li Longji and others were in danger and extremely dangerous.
After Ruizong Li Dan was demoted to the rank of emperor's heir, Wu Zhao granted Li Xian the title of emperor's grandson. On the same day, he sent his five brothers to the fiefdom as vassal kings, started building government offices, and setting up staff.
Just in case, Li Xian, who was proficient in music, created a music code to transmit information and exchange news with his brothers.
Li Fan was not to be outdone. Based on Li Xian's musical code, he encrypted the code and created a set of calligraphy and painting codes to connect and correspond with it.
With the help of this combination code, the five brothers exchanged information and pretended to be crazy, so they were able to save their lives during the Wu Zhao Dynasty.
After Li Longji ascended the throne, he used thunderous means to eradicate Princess Taiping's party, opening a glorious page for the Tang Empire. In the prosperous age of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, all nations came to the dynasty.
The world was peaceful, Li Xian and the other four brothers were crowned kings and lived a life of idleness and wealth. This set of music, calligraphy and painting codes, which were only circulated among the five brothers, were never used again.
It wasn't until Li Longji decided to launch another coup that this set of long-sealed codes was revealed again!
…
Li Zhen was trembling all over after receiving "The Picture of Streams, Mountains and Qingyuan", and she couldn't tell whether it was excitement or nervousness.
The coup plan deduced by Bai Fu and Fang Shuliu is slightly different. The strategy of Xuanzong and Li Zhen's party is more thorough:
In the first step, Siqi King Li Zhen entered the Forbidden Garden under the support of Liu Congjian, the general of Youyu Lin Army, and used the official office of Youyu Lin Army as the main tent of the Chinese army, waiting for an opportunity to control the Nine Immortals Gate (the northwest gate of Daming Palace).
In the second step, Chen Xuanli, the general of Zuo Longwu Army, led his soldiers, together with Gao Lishi, through Feilong Corridor, through Chongxuan Gate, entered Xuanwu Gate, and waited for an opportunity to control Xuanwu Gate (the north gate of Daming Palace).
In the third step, after obtaining the command of Yulin Army and Longwu Army, Siqi King Li Zhen was in charge of Jiuxianmen, and Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi were in charge of Xuanwumen.
In the fourth step, Zuo Yu Lin's general Liu Huan led his close men to break into Zuo Yu Lin's military office at Taihe Gate, kill Zuo Yu Lin's general Guo Yingyi and others, and seize the command of Zuo Yu Lin's army. Then, from Taihe Gate, Zuo Yu Lin's army was commanded.
Hemen (southeast gate of Daming Palace) enters the inner palace.
In the fifth step, Liu Congjian and Liu Huan led the Right Yu Lin Army and Zuo Yu Lin Army respectively. The troops were divided into two groups. They attacked the inner court from the northwest corner and the southeast corner and met at Zichen Hall (in the middle of Daming Palace).
.
The reason for attacking from two directions and launching a pincer offensive was, firstly, to support each other and form an encirclement to prevent Suzong and others from choosing a way to escape; secondly, in case of encountering Ouchi's Feilong Army, Qianniuwei's strong counterattack, the two
The army can split up to avoid being wiped out.
The sixth step was to wait for Liu Congjian and Liu Huan to send the signal of successful rendezvous, and then Siqi King Li Zhen led the imperial army into the Daming Palace to fully control the situation in the palace and hunt down Queen Zhang, Li Fuguo and their party members.
The seventh step is to close all the palace gates and all the city gates of the capital. The right guard general Dou Ruping, the right guard general Hu Lie, the right guard general Cao Shenjun and Jiao Zirong will divide their forces to search for Su Zong's pro-partisans and completely eliminate those loyal to Su Zong in Chang'an City.
of power.
In the eighth step, Xuanzong returned to the Jinluan Palace, announced to the world, and sat on the dragon throne again.
After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he established Siqi Wang Li Zhen as the crown prince. After the Shi Siming rebels were wiped out, Xuanzong passed the throne to Siqi Wang Li Zhen.
…
The east and west gates of Daming Palace are guarded by Shenwu Army and Yulin Army in turns.
At the turn of spring and summer, the Beiya Forbidden Army was stationed in two groups: from Mao hour to You hour every day (Mao hour 5-7 o'clock, You hour 17-19 o'clock), the left and right Shenwu troops were on duty;
From Xu Shi to Yin Shi (Xu Shi 19 to 21 o'clock, Yin Shi 3 to 5 o'clock), the left and right Yulin troops will guard the place.
Xuanwu Gate, as the north gate of the Daming Palace, was built on the remaining slope of Longshouyuan. It has a relatively high terrain. Standing on the tower, you can overlook most of the palace city. Its importance is self-evident.
Since Emperor Taizong, the Longwu Army has been stationed here to guard this gate.
Every day from Mao hour to You hour (Mao hour 5 to 7 o'clock, You hour 17 to 19 o'clock), youlongwujun will be on duty;
From Xu Shi to Yin Shi (Xu Shi 19 to 21 o'clock, Yin Shi 3 to 5 o'clock), Zuo Longwu Army will guard the place.
…
Three days later, at Shen Shi (15 to 17 o'clock Shen Shi), the sun's shadow tilted to the west.
Liu Congjian, the general of the Youyu Forest Army, led dozens of Yulin Army generals into the Youyu Forest Military Officer Office, which is only a hundred steps away from the Nine Immortals Gate in the northwest corner of the Daming Palace.
Different from the lazy Yulin army formations in the past, this team has vigorous steps, hurried expressions and murderous intent.
The person walking next to the general Liu Congjian, with a majestic appearance and a tall body, vaguely exuding a domineering air that is not angry and self-powerful, is none other than Li Zhen, the King of Siqi.
As the red sun set in the west and the sun set in the west, the Youyu Lin Army began to switch defenses with the You Shenwu Army. Liu Congjian, the general of the Youyu Lin Army, stepped out of the official office and led his soldiers into the Nine Immortals Gate.
Dusk falls, the moon first appears, and the dark night is like a silk satin covering the Daming Palace with double eaves on the mountain ridge.
The Forbidden Garden to the north of the palace was dark and could not be discerned. Only the towers of Nine Immortals Gate and Xuanwu Gate were brightly lit. Under the light of the lights, Xuanwu Gate looked even more magnificent and magnificent.
Around the first watch (19-21 o'clock in the morning), a group of flying cavalry galloped out from the Xuanwu Gate, passed through Jiacheng, and flew straight towards the Nine Immortals Gate.
Feiqi was Chen Xuanli's confidant general, and secretly reported to Li Zhen and Liu Congjian: Zuo Longwu Army General Chen Xuanli, Gao Lishi and others passed through Feilong Corridor, passed through Chongxuan Gate, entered Xuanwu Gate, and had already controlled Xuanwu Gate. .
But Siqi King Li Zhen was not in a hurry to give the order, because according to the plan, the time to launch the coup was set at Haishi, that is, when the second watch drum was beaten (22-24 Haishi).
At this time, most people in the Daming Palace have fallen asleep. It is the time when sleep is deepest, and it is the best time to launch a sudden attack and catch the opponent by surprise.
The timing hourglass is passing bit by bit...
Chen Xuanli, Gao Lishi and others sat quietly in the tower of Xuanwu Gate, anxiously waiting for that moment to arrive.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the intermittent singing of crickets in the grass makes the Daming Palace seem even more silent.
On the lotus leaves in the pond, a few toads were making noisy noises, making the waiting soldiers extremely irritable.
Gao Lishi felt bored in his chest, walked to the tower, and looked at the Daming Palace through the tooth-shaped battlements.
The scorching heat wave during the day has subsided, the breeze is blowing, the night scent is scented, everything is so peaceful and quiet.
The scenery in front of me is so familiar, and the music of colorful feathers lingers in my ears, as if yesterday happened again...
In the Daming Palace back then, Xuanzong and his concubines did not go to bed so early. This time was the climax of the palace banquet, which was joyful and peaceful, and the event was unprecedented:
Xuanzong played Jiegu, King Ning played the jade flute, the imperial concubine played the pipa, Ma Xianqi played the fangxiang, Li Guinian played the 筚篯, Zhang Yehu played the harp, and He Huaizhi made the final decision. The song "Neon Dress and Feather Clothes Song" is magnificent and shocking...
Li Bai, with Kunlun's death in his throat, wandered around, completely forgetting himself: "The clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face, the spring breeze blows on the threshold, and the dew is rich. If I hadn't seen it on the top of the jade mountain, I would have seen it under the moon on Yaotai." The imperial concubine heard it and felt like thousands of pear trees and warm spring flowers. open……
Zhang Xu was very drunk, and wrote quickly, like a sudden rain and whirlwind, flying and turning, with thousands of words at his fingertips...
Wu Daozi drank several cups of wine until he was very happy. He stood up from his clothes and dropped paper like clouds of smoke. A dragon was painted on the palace, and he finished it in a matter of seconds, as if with the help of a god...
Pei Min performed a sword dance to add to the fun. Outside the palace, the horses were running like flying, turning left and right, and throwing the sword into the clouds. It was dozens of feet high, spinning in the air, like lightning shooting down. When the song ended, Pei Min held the sheath in his hand and carried the sword in the air. Then, the sword penetrated into the sheath...
Yan Zhenqing immediately wrote a poem for General Pei: "The great monarch controls Liuhe, and the powerful general clears the Jiugai. The war horse is like a dragon and tiger, how powerful it is to soar. The general is in the eight wilderness, and he is illustrious. His sword dances like lightning, following the wind. Linger and return. Climb high and look at the Tianshan Mountains. The white clouds are facing Cui Wei. They enter the battle and defeat the arrogant captives, and their majesty is thunderous. A hundred horses are knocked down with one shot, and ten thousand men are driven away by another shot. The Huns do not dare to fight, and call each other to return. Success will be rewarded to the emperor. , you can draw Lintai.”
What an atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
…
"Dongdongdong" the second watch drum sounds, awakening Gao Lishi from his memories.
Gao Lishi looked downstairs and saw hundreds of Longwu Army soldiers wearing helmets and holding sharp swords, rushing out of the Tibetan Army Cave...
Chen Xuanli drew his sword out of its sheath, his eyes suddenly shot out with blazing light, and he shouted: "Kill!"
