As more and more officials and people came up the mountain, and seeing a conflict with Zuo Wuwei, His Majesty Li Er withdrew to a high place and looked down at the whole situation.
Under the guise of meeting the emperor, these people forced their way into the Lishan Palace and caused a riot. From the main road of Lishan to the palace, the riot spread like a tide.
Since the Zuowu guards did not dare to kill these officials and people, the people who went up the mountain quickly poured into the Lishan palace complex.
There were originally several hundred Zuowu guards stationed at the Lishan Palace, but thousands of officials and civilians came up the mountain.
Soon, the entire Lishan Palace was in complete chaos.
Although His Majesty Li Er had guessed that someone might take advantage of his "terminal illness" to commit such treasonous acts.
But when he saw the rebellion happening right in front of his eyes, His Majesty Li Er still couldn't help but feel angry.
I really didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was so crazy and actually encouraged these ignorant officials and people to take the lead. He really deserves to die.
What's more, His Majesty Li Er boasts of his martial virtues and has built the Tang Dynasty into a powerful empire, with everything under control.
But now that he is not dead yet, some people can't help but jump out and jump around, simply not taking him as the emperor seriously.
Just when His Majesty Li Er hated the rebels to the core, an earth-shaking explosion shook the world.
A palace collapsed in front of his eyes, and black smoke rose into the sky, making Li Erbi tremble with fear!
This is the explosive effect of thunder.
Seeing the soldiers crawling out of the ruins and the screams, His Majesty Li Er was in shock.
This sky-shattering thunder is the firearms supervisor's most secret object. In the world, only Yang Fan, who invented this thing, and the firearms supervisor can make it.
Besides, His Majesty Li Er is not equipped with this kind of mass destruction weapon in the army. How did these people get the thunder?
Could it be that Yang Fan or Li Xiaogong, who was in charge of the firearms inspection department, rebelled?
At this point, His Majesty Li Er is not willing to draw conclusions easily.
He knew very well that since these people had started to take action, who the treasonous person was would soon surface.
However, Li Er was really lucky. Fortunately, the palace was just a smoke bomb set by him.
If he was really in that palace, he might be blown up to the sky!
This scene made His Majesty Li Er so angry that he gritted his teeth.
These people are so lawless that they dare to kill the king.
Don't these people know that once Li Er dies, the entire empire will immediately fall into pieces?
Whether it is aristocratic families, tribes on the grasslands, or small countries that are watching eagerly around them, they will all drag the Tang Dynasty into the abyss of war for their own benefit.
Li Er couldn't believe that these initiators of rebellion actually ignored the interests of the empire. Damn it!
Although His Majesty Li Er had thought that treasonous people would force him into the palace, he never dared to imagine that these people would be so crazy!
Li Junxian followed His Majesty Li Er, and several teams of "Hundred Cavalry" elites behind him guarded the surroundings, fearing that there would also be an explosion nearby.
Because the palace was blown down by thunder from the sky, the entire Lishan palace complex appeared in chaos.
The Zuowu guards who were still maintaining order also became confused and fled in all directions with the officials and people who went up the mountain.
Li Junxian was a little helpless, so he had to take two steps forward, approached His Majesty Li Er and asked softly: "Your Majesty, Duke Lu just came down the mountain. Now the Zuowu Guards are leaderless, and there may be a big mess. How about I go and take over the Zuowu Guards?"
?”
At this time, Li Junxian was indeed a little scared, of course not afraid of death, but afraid that Li Er would be hurt.
Once Zuowu Wei became a piece of loose sand, Li Junxian had no confidence in ensuring Li Er's safety with only a hundred cavalry. Obviously, these people who caused the chaos were well prepared.
His Majesty Li Er looked serious and did not answer immediately. After a while, he said: "Wait a moment. As a veteran general in the army, I don't believe that the troops he leads will be so vulnerable."
Li Junxian didn't say anything else. He could only muster up his energy a hundred times and follow His Majesty Li Er closely, not daring to be careless. Cold sweat had already soaked through the clothes inside the armor.
As the chaos intensified, His Majesty Li Er's eyes were attracted by the scene on the main road.
Although they were far apart and their vision was blurry, His Majesty Li Er still recognized a group of soldiers besieging the two of them.
And these two people are Yang Fan and Cheng Yaojin!
Seeing this scene, Li Junxian's eyes widened and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, those who are besieging Duke Lu and the Prince Consort are soldiers from the left guard. General Mo will go to meet them right now."
His Majesty Li Er, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly became furious when he saw that the Zuo Wei soldiers actually participated in the rebellion!
"Go and bring them to me. Haha, Hou Junji... is really my beloved general!"
His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and took the seat while gritting his teeth.
If the princes gathered in front of him, they might want to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
If ordinary people rebelled, His Majesty Li Er would certainly not have such a big reaction.
But the soldiers were in turmoil, and they were the left guards who had been defending the palace, so he couldn't help but make him angry.
Of course, Li Er also knew that Hou Junji was responsible for everything.
But he didn't expect to single-handedly support Hou Junji from his humble beginnings. He was given the title of Duke of the State, the title of General, and even allowed him to take charge of the left-guard imperial army. It was a great blessing.
Even if he sent troops to plunder and treat the country's laws as nothing in Tubo, it only made him shut up and think about his mistakes.
But I didn't expect that this guy would be resentful because of this, and now he wants to rebel!
It's really ungrateful, inferior to a beast, and simply a wolf's ambition.
In fact, it is no wonder that His Majesty Li Er is so angry.
In his opinion, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey is cooked, the slingshot is hidden... This is the melody of history.
Throughout the dynasties, after all the founding emperors ascended the throne, they would raise their butcher's knives against their old brothers who followed them to conquer the world and kill them all.
Although Li Shimin was not the founding emperor, he was better than the founding emperor.
After all, these people under his command are all brothers who followed him in the north and south, and they are all heroes of the founding of the country.
But he, Li Shimin, had never killed a hero indiscriminately because of suspicion.
Since ancient times, has any emperor been as broad-minded as Li Shimin?
Unexpectedly, my kindness would be rewarded with betrayal!
Of course, Li Er also knew that it was impossible for Hou Junji to rebel on his own.
Now is not a time when the world is in chaos and when you can become king with soldiers, there must be some prince or royal family member involved.
After all, Hou Junji was just a foreign minister, with an unfair reputation and an unjust reputation, so it was impossible for him to establish himself as emperor.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family was the orthodox one.
His Majesty Li Er really wants to see how many members of the royal family are involved.
Soon, Yang Fan and Cheng Yaojin were taken to His Majesty Li Er by Li Junxian.
As soon as he saw His Majesty Li Er, Cheng Yaojin ignored his injuries and quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, my general is incompetent and has put you in danger. I deserve death for my crime."
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was covered in blood and had a wound on his back, His Majesty Li Er comforted him and said: "Please get up quickly, Yaojin. It's all because I don't know the person well and mistrusted the villain. Now I'm doing this randomly."
As a group, you still need to regroup and eliminate the rebels!"
Cheng Yaojin was moved and said: "I am willing to die for your majesty. If the rebels are not eliminated, I am willing to raise my head to see you."
Yang Fan on the side held his tongue, somewhat disapproving.
Sure enough, leaders like to think better after the fact.
If His Majesty Li Er had listened to him earlier, there would never have been such a riot.
However, Yang Fan did not dare to cause trouble, so he could only lower his head and count the ants on the ground, pretending not to hear.
Of course, although Yang Fan looked calm and calm, he felt uneasy in his heart.
I didn't expect people like Hou Junji to be able to bring about thunder.
If the thunderous thunder exploded around him, Yang Fan wouldn't dare say he would be able to escape unscathed. This was the power of thermal weapons.
What's more, the left guard soldiers were equipped with muskets. Once Hou Junji used these sharp weapons, Yang Fan would not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation.
Fortunately, the soldiers gathered by Hou Jun just now were not equipped with muskets, otherwise they might not be able to escape unscathed.
At this time Yang Fan really regretted it!
If you are killed by the thunder or musket you invented, it will really become the biggest joke in the world!
Therefore, Yang Fan was very anxious now, his nerves were tense, and he was constantly thinking about how to escape.
It's not that his mental quality is poor, it's that only those who have died once know the value of life.
Now his happy life has just begun, and he doesn't want to be killed because of a rebellion!
The last time we went to fight against Tibet, although we faced more enemies, they did not have hot weapons after all!
At that time, he was nothing, and at least he could be a deserter. But now the enemy has thunder and muskets. If he hits the vital part, wouldn't it be easy to kill himself?
In the face of death, who can say to face it calmly?
More importantly, because of His Majesty Li Er's arrogance, he got himself involved in it in a daze, which of course made Yang Fan extremely depressed!
Although Yang Fan disliked Hou Junji very much, Hou Junji's ability to transform from a gangster to a general was definitely not just due to luck.
As a time traveler, apart from being more knowledgeable than him, Yang Fan really doesn't dare to say that he is much better than Hou Junji!
Now that Hou Junji dares to rebel blatantly, he must still have some backup plans. It is the unknown things that worry Yang Fan.
Although I was familiar with history and knew that Hou Junji's rebellion would definitely not succeed, that was when history had not changed.
Now that the trajectory of history has changed beyond recognition, and firearms have also appeared on the stage of history, who knows what changes will happen?
What's more, they don't even know who is participating in this rebellion...
All these factors made Yang Fan confused about His Majesty Li Er's decision.
This emperor is really, even if he wants to die, he should not use himself as a backstop!
While Yang Fan was thinking, His Majesty Li Er and Cheng Yaojin exchanged commercial compliments for a while, then asked the imperial doctor to bandage the wound, and Cheng Yaojin left in a hurry.
His Majesty Li Er also knew that something had gone wrong this time, and only if Cheng Yaojin rectified Zuo Wuwei could the chaos be rectified!
After Cheng Yaojin left, His Majesty Li Er glanced at Yang Fan, who had a heavy look on his face, and said displeasedly: "Are you scared? Where did the courage to face the Tubo wolf cavalry go? I remember, facing the Tubo 100,000 wolves
The cavalry charged with no change of expression, could it be that they were concealing their military achievements?"
Although he knew that His Majesty Li Er was a fierce general, Yang Fan still smiled bitterly.
Looking around, everyone except Li Junxian was far away, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is different. At that time, the enemy did not have firearms and did not know the power of firearms. In the face of us, he blasted the sky with thunder.
Of course I was caught off guard."
"If the Tubo wolf cavalry had not been burned to death and more than half of them were stamped to death by the shock of Hongtianlei, the ministers would have been loyal to the empire at that time."
"But it's completely different now. The opponent not only has thunder, but also muskets. More importantly, there are countless people with ulterior motives. Do you think I can not be afraid?"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er fell silent!
I had seen the power of thunderbolts and pistols on the testing ground, but after all, I had never seen the cruelty of using them on the battlefield.
Just now, a palace was blown up by thunder from the sky, and countless people wailed everywhere. This also gave His Majesty Li Er a clearer understanding.
At this time, Li Er knew that his decision was indeed a bit reckless.
If I had been more cautious at the beginning, I would not have been so passive.
However, although he knew that he was a little careless, Li Er would not give in.
He began to conquer the world when he was just a teenager. In terms of military affairs, Li Erke never gave up.
The more powerful the firearm, the greater the risk, but also the greater the chance of a comeback.
Because almost all of the Zuowu Guards brought by Cheng Yaojin were equipped with firearms.
This is why Li Er asked Cheng Yaojin to go immediately to rectify the Zuowu guards.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Li Junxian on the side also nodded in agreement.
Now that the enemy is unknown, this is the most troublesome thing.
His Majesty Li Er did not take it seriously and said firmly: "Don't worry, the real master should be on the stage soon! Since they dare to rebel, they must have a good reputation, otherwise how can the soldiers work with them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was indeed movement in the direction of Hou Jun's camp. Yang Fan collected his attention and looked from a distance.
But I saw the flags flying over there and the crowds surging. It was obvious that many more people had arrived.
Although it was difficult to tell what was happening from a distance, the faint bursts of cheers made the entire Lishan Mountain seem to be detonated.
Yang Fan was a little unbelievable.
Although I have heard about some coups in later generations, but now that something like this is happening under my nose, my senses are too strong!
No wonder it is said that every coup is actually accompanied by blood and fire.
This situation was even more prevalent in ancient times, and it was a fight to the death.
His Majesty Li Er obviously noticed it, his face was uncertain, and his expression suddenly became condensed.
I saw a banner engraved with dragon patterns beginning to float in front of me, with a large Chinese character embroidered on it.
Obviously, this is the arrival of the Han King Li Yuanchang.
What His Majesty Li Er didn't expect was how his seventh brother could persuade Hou Junji to rebel.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was a little confused and did not know whether his son was involved.
You know, if the influence of King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty was alone, he would not be able to make such a big move.
"Crunt against the rebels..."
"Qingjun side..."
"Rescue His Majesty..."
Along with the deafening slogans came.
Everyone knows that Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others have already made excuses.
At the same time, the commotion at Lishan Palace did not stop, filling Lishan with screaming and chaos.
Looking at the left guard soldiers marching up the mountain, they numbered at least nearly two thousand.
What he saw in front of him made His Majesty Li Er a little stunned.
The Tang Dynasty had laws and regulations, but without the emperor's military symbols, the general's authority to mobilize troops was limited to 500 troops at most. This was still the authority to defend the imperial city.
Ordinary generals cannot mobilize even a single soldier if there is no war.
How did Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji mobilize so many soldiers?
Of course Li Er didn't know that most of these soldiers wearing Zuobian uniforms were actually dead soldiers of the Jiangnan gentry and Li Yuanchang's retainers.
Yang Fan also sighed secretly: "Is it finally here?"
Before he could think more, the sound of a gunshot rang in his ears.
It turned out that the Zuowuwei forward who went to block it had already met the enemy.
The intensive gunfire made Yang Fan's heart tingle.
Only then did he remember that because the soldiers were not familiar with the fighting method of muskets, as soon as the two sides came face to face, they would shoot directly at each other. Didn't they also shoot their own people?
This kind of melee is really too dangerous!
Yang Fan decided not to care about anything else but to ensure the safety of his wife first.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan asked: "Your Majesty, where are your highnesses? It's too dangerous here, and I want to escort them to a safe place."
His Majesty Li Er turned his head and said displeasedly: "Aren't they with you?"
"Didn't they come back just now?" Yang Fan frowned, feeling worried.
Looking at the turbulent scene, Yang Fan seemed to have thought of something.
There was a riot here, so the girls from Changle did not return from the main road just now.
Since they have not returned to His Majesty Li Er, the only place they can go is Changle's palace.
Changle's palace is nearly one kilometer away from His Majesty Li Er, so it seems that we need to find them first.
Once these girls are caught by Hou Junji, he will definitely be at his wits end!
With Hou Junji's resentment towards him, I really don't know what will happen.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan became anxious.
After expressing his thoughts to His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan left in a hurry.
Not far out, he encountered a group of left guard soldiers spreading out holding horizontal knives.
He cuts down and kills everyone he meets, regardless of whether they are Zuowu guards, officials or civilians. He is like a madman.
Yang Fan frowned. These people were obviously deliberately causing chaos, and they didn't look like soldiers at all.
Of course Yang Fan would not let go of these things that were inferior to animals. The most important thing was that these people did not have muskets in their hands, at least they could not threaten him.
Yang Fan raised his horizontal sword like a tiger on watch, and he would kill all such human beings directly.
But as Yang Fan killed more and more people, he also attracted the attention of other enemies.
More and more "Left Guard" soldiers were holding weapons, blocking Yang Fan and charging forward without fear of death!
Of course, Yang Fan didn't want to get entangled with these people, so he fought and retreated, and quickly retreated towards Changle's palace through the chaos.
For a time, the entire Lishan Mountain became chaotic and chaotic, like purgatory.
