Chapter 801 The decisive battle at Luoyang Palace! (1)
"Oh oh oh..."
As soon as the rooster sings, the sky is gradually getting brighter. Li Xian, who has been up all night, is not only not sleepy, but also more energetic, because the moment of decisive battle is coming. After more than ten years of hard work,
, Now is the time when the fruit is ripe, victory or defeat depends on today's blow. At this moment, Li Xian's heart is full of high fighting spirit!
"Change!"
What needs to be discussed has already been discussed, what needs to be deployed has been deployed, and the decisive battle is imminent. Li Xianzi did not intend to talk any more nonsense. He suddenly stood up, looked around Di Renjie and other courtiers, looked solemn, and drank calmly.
A voice.
"promise!"
Li Xian gave the order, and Gao Miao, who had been waiting for him for a long time, did not dare to neglect. With a wave of his hand, he led dozens of eunuchs to come in from outside the screen, waiting for Li Xian and others to change into white clothes and white robes.
, all the ministers in the room were wearing filial piety.
"Show off at the Xuanwu Gate!"
Looking at the ministers in the hall, Li Xian felt pride surging in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just waved his hand and gave the order.
"promise!"
Dozens of officials present had worked hard all night, not only running back and forth to contact the courtiers, but also discussing matters for most of the night. They were naturally a little tired, but their energy was extremely good, because everyone knew
This battle is a battle between the winner and the loser. No one is willing to miss this great opportunity to fight from the dragon. The voice of response is particularly loud, and a tragic and heroic spirit suddenly rises...
Although the East Palace and Xuanwu Gate are both part of the imperial palace, the East Palace is located in the South Palace of Luoyang, and the Xuanwu Gate is at the northernmost edge of the North Palace. The straight-line distance is not that far, but when you get up, you have to go around the entire imperial city, which is enough.
Nearly four miles away, Li Xian and his party were waiting under the escort of two thousand East Palace Guards in white clothes and armor. Although they marched quickly, it took them nearly half an hour to arrive at the small square in front of Xuanwu Gate.
At that time, although the sun had not yet risen, it was already bright, and many courtiers had already gathered in the square. Seeing Li Xian and others wearing their mourning, there was inevitably a little commotion, not for anything else, but because of their high spirits.
Zong's life or death has not been determined yet, but Li Xian and others have already adopted such a posture, undoubtedly intending to fight against the odds. It may be difficult to find a solution to what happened today.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
When they saw Li Xian coming, the courtiers were either surprised or regretful, but no one dared to lose etiquette in front of Li Xian, so they had to bow respectfully and pay homage.
"Everyone loves you!"
Li Xian's eyes were very good. With just a glance, he had caught the expressions of all the courtiers present. However, he did not comment, he just shouted with an indifferent expression.
"I would like to thank His Highness for your kindness."
Except for the four prime ministers and assistants, all the courtiers present were originally neutral. But since they dared to come here to participate in the event of forcing the palace, they have already shown their attitude of siding with Li Xian. Regardless of their true thoughts, things will evolve
In such a situation, everyone naturally hopes that Li Xian can win the final victory. Once this happens, a Conglong Gong will be easily obtained. Because of this, the voice of gratitude will appear particularly sincere and passionate.
"Your Highness, the safety of your Majesty's dragon body has not yet been determined. You, this..., hey, why are you doing this!"
When the ministers nearby saw Li Xian getting ready for a decisive battle, most of them felt excited and relieved. A few of them regretted entering this muddy water of life and death, but Pei Xingjian was heartbroken. As the chief minister, he finally
What he didn't want to see was the emergence of such a decisive battle that could completely overturn the government. Even though he knew that it was now difficult to stop Li Xian's actions, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but stand up and complain.
.
"Prime Minister Pei, it's not me, Meng Lang, but I have to do this because of circumstances. Now that my father has passed away, my mother has not mourned her in secret, and has even arranged a killing to kill me. This is intolerable.
, I also ask Pei Xiong to lend a helping hand to me and restore the purity of the Tang Dynasty to me!"
Yesterday, when Li Xian sent Liu Rengui to lobby Pei Xingjian, he did not tell him the overall arrangement. He only mentioned that he would meet with Emperor Gaozong together. This was suspected of deception. At this time, facing Pei Xingjian's dismissal, Li Xian couldn't help but feel guilty.
There was a trace of guilt, but definitely not much, but what Li Xian showed was a deep sense of grievance and anger.
"Ah, this, how is this possible?"
Pei Xingjian couldn't help being shocked when he heard the word "killing the situation" and hurriedly asked.
"I dare not deceive Prime Minister Pei. Now, the Xuanwu Sect has been filled with soldiers and masters. They are all here to gain me entry into the palace. If Prime Minister Pei doesn't believe in the following vicious tricks, just wait and see."
When it came to the showdown, Li Xian no longer needed to conceal anything, so he loudly announced the ambush set up by Empress Wu and others.
"You are a treacherous and arrogant person. How dare you act so arrogantly? I will defend His Highness to the death. We will never allow a villain to steal the throne!"
As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, before Pei Xingjian could say anything, Liu Rengui started to shout loudly.
"Liu Xiang's words are reasonable. Your Highness is the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
"How can the country of the Tang Dynasty allow roosters to disrupt the government? This is intolerable. We must punish all the traitors and restore the purity of our country in the Tang Dynasty!"
"How can the great weapon of the country allow rats to run rampant? We are willing to fight to the death for His Highness, enter the palace, and wipe out all the traitors!"
…
With Liu Rengui taking the lead, all the officials from the prince's line started shouting. Immediately, many courtiers who were close to Li Xian also followed suit. For a time, the square was full of voices supporting Li Xianzhi, and as the
The battle horns of the two thousand East Palace Guards led the army sounded, and their fighting spirit instantly soared into the sky, overwhelming the sky for nine days!
"Your Highness, you can't do it. You absolutely can't do it. Now His Majesty's dragon body is unknown. He dares to break into the palace. It's not what a minister should do. And if there is really an ambush, His Majesty, with his body of ten thousand chariots, is in danger. I think
It’s inappropriate, please come to your Highness’s discretion!”
Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but become a little anxious. He was afraid that the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" would happen again, so he hurriedly grabbed him from the side and hurriedly spoke out to give advice.
"Yes, Your Highness, please think twice, think twice!"
Although Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian had always been at odds with each other, at this time, they were equally unwilling to see bloodshed in the palace, so they immediately echoed the words.
"Boss, Prime Minister Pei, please relax. I am not a reckless person, I will be measured."
Li Xian knew what the two chief ministers were thinking, but he didn't take it seriously, for no other reason than that if Li Xian wanted to pull off a military coup, he would have done it long ago. How could he hold back until now? Of course,
Well, the matter has not yet been fully launched. Li Xian did not intend to reveal all his trump cards at once, so he just answered vaguely.
"Your Highness, is there any evidence for what you say?"
Hearing that Li Xian didn't seem to have any intention of storming the palace, the two Prime Ministers Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't completely settle down. They looked at each other, and when they were about to say something more, they saw
Hao Chujun had already stood up and asked with a solemn expression.
Although Hao Chujun always presented a neutral face in the court and was capable of taking action, he always favored Li Xian. In the eyes of some rear party members, Hao Chujun was actually not much different from the officials of the prince's line.
All the officials present were aware of this. Because of this, when they saw Hao Chujun standing up to hold him accountable at such a time, the courtiers were a little confused and there was a lot of commotion.
There was complete silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xian, and they all wanted to know how Li Xian would explain this accountability.
"That's a good question, Mr. Hao. Those gang of thieves who stole the country thought they were doing well. Not only did they set up an ambush to kill His Highness the Crown Prince, they also forged the late emperor's edict in an attempt to do evil. However, they forgot the old saying that the sky has eyes. Such devious activities, and
How could we hide it from His Majesty the Crown Prince’s Holy Inspector? Loyal ministers had already hurriedly reported to His Majesty, and that’s why all the princes gathered here today to promote great righteousness. Whether it was right or not, we will see later!
"
Hao Chujun's question is extremely sensitive. If you really want to answer it, it will inevitably involve a lot of dark and secret activities. Even though Li Xian is not afraid of exposing the truth to the public, he has no intention of doing so and will not answer Hao Chujun.
Li Xian didn't answer the question, so naturally someone would help. However, Di Renjie stepped forward and sternly condemned the rear party members, and by the way, all the ministers and workers present were brought to the side of justice.
"Lord Di, you are right. Your Highness, just give me the order. Even if I fight to my death, I will bring these gang of thieves who are causing trouble to the country to justice!"
"That's right, everyone can find the rebellious ministers and traitors and punish them!"
"Please give orders from Your Highness, and I will obey them all!"
…
Since ancient times, Conglong's meritorious service has been the greatest achievement, even higher than military merit. Most of the courtiers present came with this idea in mind. After being encouraged by Di Renjie, they naturally believed that Li
Li Xian's side was already confident of victory, so there was no reason not to express his loyalty immediately. The calls for Li Xian's support kept ringing out one after another.
"Xiang Hao, please wait a moment. It won't take long, at most half an hour, and everything will be in broad daylight."
Li Xian did not stop the courtiers from expressing their loyalty, but listened with a smile. It was not until the courtiers gradually quieted down that he gave Hao Chujun a clear answer with a calm expression.
"Your Highness is wise, I will wait and see."
Hearing that Li Xian had already said this, Hao Chujun, although he still had doubts in his heart, couldn't keep asking any more, so he could only answer with his hands and stepped aside.
"Well, Hao Xiang will see it."
Li Xian knew very well that Hao Chujun was a straight minister, and he always acted from the word "reason", so he would not care about his mistakes in speaking out. He smiled indifferently, said casually, and put the matter behind him.
, turned around and faced the closed Xuanwu Gate, standing silently, quietly waiting for the show to unfold...
