Chapter 4953 The war is coming


Chapter 4953 The war is coming

A guard rushed over and knelt down on one knee after entering the door: "General Qi, there is a message from the arsenal!"

The chirping of birds is the signal agreed upon in advance. As long as the signal is transmitted, it means that everything in Tai Chi Palace is going according to plan and action can be taken here.

Before he finished speaking, the entire clan suddenly stood up and looked at Li Anyan.

Although he had been waiting for this opportunity for so long, and Li Anyan thought that he was calm and calm, he was still trembling at this moment. He turned back to look at Li Shenfu: "Let your people enter from Zhidemen immediately. Palace!”

Li Shenfu nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Immediately let people leave the palace and summon the dead men hiding in Xineiyuan into the palace.

Li Anyan took a deep breath, strode out of the door, stood in the corridor and ordered the hundreds of dead men who had been lurking in the back hall to assemble here.

Soon, more than a hundred dead soldiers arrived, the queue was neat and silent.

Facing the heavy snowfall, Li Anyan raised his arms and pointed in the direction of Li Zhengdian: "Follow me and recover the blood debt!"

"Here!"

More than a hundred people answered the promise in unison, with high morale and murderous intent. More than a hundred people answered the promise at one place, and it sounded like thunder in the wind and snow, shaking all directions.

Li Anyan took the lead and led the dead soldiers forward quickly, followed by the clan members.

"Stop! Who are you? Making noise in the forbidden palace in the middle of the night is a capital crime. Aren't you afraid of death?"

A group of patrolling soldiers happened to be passing by here, and when they saw this, they shouted and stopped.

Li Anyan strode forward, drew his sword out of its sheath, and when the other party was stunned, he put the steel sword on his neck and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty has been murdered by a traitor. He is already in control of Bintian. His Royal Highness is also under the control of the traitor. This general Go and rescue the prince and send him to Taiji Palace to correct his position! If you dare to stop me, don’t blame me for being unkind!”

This group of soldiers looked confused. His Majesty died? The prince is trapped?

How is that possible!

It can be seen that Li Anyan was so aggressive that he was half-convinced and had to say: "We are willing to follow the general to rescue the prince!"

Whether it’s true or not, let’s wait until we meet the prince at Li Zheng Palace, otherwise we will lose our lives now...

Along the way, they encountered several groups of patrolling guards. They were either killed on the spot or trapped among them. Li Anyan was a founding general with outstanding achievements and seniority. He always loved his subordinates and knew rewards and punishments clearly, so he was very prestigious. More and more people followed him, braving the heavy snow and approaching Li Zhengdian.

Li Shenfu followed behind, feeling excited and secretly thinking that instigating Li Anyan's rebellion was truly a stroke of genius. With such prestige, he could actually instigate rebellion against the Imperial Guards of the East Palace. It was true that "every time comes, heaven and earth turn together"!

It’s up to me to achieve great things!

From the Buddhist Hall to Yiqiu Palace, more than a hundred dead soldiers have gathered into a team of hundreds of people. Their armor leaves are clanging and their steel knives are like forests. Dozens of guards are waiting in front of Yiqiu Gate to block the way.

The rules of the East Palace are the same as those of the Taiji Palace, with a front hall, a middle bedroom and a backyard. The prince studies laws, handles government affairs and receives ministers in the front hall to the south of Chongjiao Gate. The place where he sleeps with his concubines is between Chongjiao Gate and Yiqiu Gate. a vast complex of palaces, including Li Zheng Hall, Guangtian Hall, Chongjiao Hall, etc. Therefore, Yiqiu Palace Gate on the west side and Yichun Palace Gate on the east side are the key points of the East Palace. Once you pass this gate, you can go directly to Li Zheng Palace. Although there are continuous palaces and pavilions in between, But there are no palace gates or city walls to block it.

"You guys stop now! You're breaking into the ban at night, Li Anyan, are you going to rebel?"

Although the guard guarding the gate was worried and uneasy, his duty was to not give in even half a step in the face of the aggressive enemy.

Li Anyan still said the same thing, but this time it didn't work. He didn't dare to delay. He didn't waste any more words and waved his hand. The hundreds of dead soldiers behind him rushed up like a tide without saying a word, and in an instant they were in contact with the Yiqiu Palace Gate. The imperial guards fought in one place.

Although the imperial guards are powerful, how can they be compared with the soldiers who have been trained for a long time and are not afraid of death?

They were scattered in a single charge, their formation was scattered and their numbers were at a disadvantage, and they were killed in pieces in less than half a cup of tea...

"Break open the palace door and go to rescue the prince!"

"Here!"

Seeing this situation, the imperial guards who came with them knew that they had no way to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and rush forward with Li Anyan. After receiving the order, they found a few big stones from the garden, and several people rushed into the palace holding the stones. Door.

In just a few blows, the door latch was broken, the palace door opened, and a crowd of rebels poured into the Yichun Palace gate like a tide, rushing straight towards Li Zhengdian.

……

In Lizheng Hall, news kept coming. It was heard that the rebels had captured the gate of Yichun Palace and were close at hand, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Cen Changqian looked around and said in a deep voice: "We have been favored by the emperor and are disciples of the emperor. Now that the royal family is in disaster and the country is shaken, we should work hard to safeguard the orthodoxy and use our flesh and blood to stop the cruelty of the thieves. Even if we cannot Fortunately, death is also a sign of sacrifice! Taishi Gong said that death is inevitable, and it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. We have noble aspirations and regard death as home. We should fight bravely and make our name in history!"

These words completely aroused the emotions of a group of passionate young people. Everyone was full of high morale and fighting spirit. They all raised their arms and shouted: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

It is certainly an unshirkable responsibility to protect the country, but once this battle is won, the political resources that can be obtained are enough to be enjoyed in a lifetime. No matter where you are promoted in the future, today's achievements will be an incomparable qualification.

Whoever enters the academy or studies in the academy is not a proud man with high aspirations?

While being loyal to the king and serving the country, you can also make immortal achievements, enough to risk your life!

Cen Changqian nodded: "We entered the palace to assist and protect the prince. The commander named our team 'Shenji Camp'. This battle is the battle for the formation of the 'Shenji Camp'. From now on, millions of people in the Tang Dynasty will We have a place in the army, we respect the glory and are the disciples of the emperor!”

"Get to your positions and prepare to fight!"

"Here!"

More than a hundred students had already taken up defensive positions made of wood, tables, chairs, etc. at the entrance to the main hall. The musketeers stood behind the bunkers. There were people on the left who were responsible for supplying ammunition, and people on the right who were responsible for carrying boxes of Zhentian. The mines were ready to be thrown at any time, and there were people responsible for carrying ammunition from the apse. Even though they were about to face a fierce battle, they all performed their duties in an orderly manner.

It can be said that this is the most educated army among all the armies that have been born so far...

As the chief officer, although Cen Changqian could not charge on the front line to avoid the failure of the command system after being killed, he was not willing to be left behind. He personally launched an artillery piece from the back hall, pointed the muzzle at the main hall door, rolled up his sleeves and put the medicine bag, Insert a kerosene bomb and shake the turntable to adjust the muzzle angle to the lowest level, which is almost the same as shooting straight...

Then he took out the fire seal, held it in his hand, and shouted: "Lights out!"

Following the order, there was a sound of blowing in the hall, "Puff", "Puff", "Puff". Immediately all the lights were extinguished, and the hall fell into darkness, with only a little light coming from the windows.

The arrow is on the string, ready to go!

……

The movement in the main hall reached the back hall. First there was a burst of impassioned speeches to boost morale, then chaotic sounds of preparations for battle, and then there was complete silence... In the back hall, several nobles and maids looked at each other in shock.

The prince Li Xiang broke away from the queen's arms and crept forward, leaning against the crack in the door to look out. However, it was completely dark and he couldn't see anything. He had to retreat and sit on the floor at the queen's feet, looking excited.

Princess Changle hugged Lu'er and asked curiously: "Isn't the prince afraid?"

Li Xiang curled his lips and said: "What is there to be afraid of? Since the master has arranged the 'Shenji Camp' here, he must have concluded that the rebels can be stopped. We just need to sit here and wait for victory. , there is no need to worry unfoundedly.”

Princess Changle clicked her tongue and smiled at the queen: "The prince has never been brave enough to fight, but he has the air of not changing his expression even if the mountain collapses in front of him. Congratulations to the queen."

The queen touched her son's head, feeling both relieved and worried: "As the prince said, it seems like there is no danger here, but actually there is no danger. After all, so many firearms were transported into the palace early, which makes people feel sad just to see it. An... On the contrary, I don’t know what the situation is on His Majesty’s side.”

There are some words that it is not convenient for a queen to say.

In recent times, she could clearly feel the changes in Li Chengqian's personality. He was anxious, headstrong, frivolous... He was becoming more and more aggressive, and his patience was getting less and less. The humility, broad and loving emperor's mind in the past gradually faded away, and instead became more and more... He is eager for quick success and stubborn, and he not only refuses to listen to unfavorable advice, but even insists on going his own way.

For example, when the "Zhaoling Case" broke out, according to the advice of Fang Jun and other important ministers, the impact should be eliminated as much as possible and the scope should be narrowed. After all, this matter is not only related to the reputation of Emperor Taizong, but will also shake the stability of the clan. There is no need to make a big fanfare and It caused the world to be surprised.

As a result, His Majesty not only refused to listen, but even did the opposite. He wanted to involve the "Three Law Divisions" wantonly, and countless clan members were imprisoned, causing three shocks a day in the clan and putting everyone in danger.

It's understandable that they don't want to bear the charge of "slaughtering the clan" and use silence to prevent others from attacking later. But wouldn't using such harsh methods force those clans that had no intention of resisting to take a risk?

It’s hard to say that this is “precaution in the bud”, it’s more like venting the resentment generated by the clan’s disapproval of him as the emperor...

Princess Jinyang pulled Li Xiang into her arms and said with a smile: "The prince is a good man. I will let my aunt take advantage of him when he grows up! My father dotes on me, my brother the emperor dotes on me, and my nephew will also dote on me in the future. What a blessing!”

Li Xiang frowned, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Princess Jinyang feigned anger: "What do you mean? You don't favor your aunt, do you?"

Li Xiang swallowed and said sheepishly: "My aunt loves me now, and I will definitely love my aunt in the future. It's okay to have many rewards and titles, but..."

"But what?"

"But if my aunt refuses to marry, I'm afraid I can't agree."

"..."

The Queen and Princess Changle looked at Princess Jinyang's beautiful face full of embarrassment and couldn't help laughing.

Princess Jinyang became angry with embarrassment, stretched out two delicate jade fingers, pinched Li Xiang's ears and turned half a circle, gritting her teeth: "Okay, you dare to tease my aunt at a young age, I can't spare you today!"

"Oh, it hurts. Auntie, please spare your life. I was wrong. You can marry whoever you want. I will give you a marriage in the future, right?"

"Hmph, you have no words to joke about. The Crown Prince is also a king, so you can't break your promise!"

"Ah? I seem to have fallen into my aunt's trap. Woohoo, what should I do!"

"If you dare not admit it in the future, I will never end it with you!" The battle is about to begin, but the Li Zheng Palace is very relaxed.
