Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4376
In the Lizheng Hall, news from all parties came, making the royal family members who gathered here panic. After all, there are only a few people who are as confident in their lord as Princess Gaoyang. Today's Wude Hall and the Lizheng Hall are composed of palaces. The group has almost become the center of the storm, and the rebels and defenders are engaged in a desperate bloody battle...

In a clean room in the side hall, Jin Shengman looked at his sister who was sitting still and looked sad, and said helplessly: "Now Silla has long since perished, and the children of the royal family are scattered and withered. Even if my sister has the power to go back to heaven, she can't help it." , Jin Famin seeks benevolence by himself, why is my sister so sad? After all, you and I are just a generation of women, and it is best to live on a man. If you are incomprehensible, it will only cause trouble."

Jin Famin led the "Three Thousand Flowers" to fight out from the East Palace to stop the rebels, but then took this opportunity to enter the Hall of Wude to assassinate His Majesty and failed. After the news came, Kinderman was very sad and heartbroken.

Hearing her sister's persuasion at this moment, she just shook her head, bit her lip and said nothing.

As the former lord of Silla, it was a last resort to attach to the Tang Dynasty. Although we know that the Jin royal family may have no hope of returning to the country, as long as they survive under the powerful military power of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a glimmer of hope after all.

The reason why she committed herself to Fang Jun was that apart from being a woman wandering in Chang'an and looking for a partner in a lonely and helpless situation, she might not have the idea of ​​using Fang Jun's power to protect the Jin family's royal family...

In fact, Fang Jun is also affectionate and righteous. He didn't treat her as a toy and kicked her away after getting tired of playing with her. The land carried out reforms on a large scale, cut off the old forces, and shaped a new ruling order, and the royal family of Jin also had a lot of grace.

Otherwise, as the biggest obstacle to ruling the Silla regime, how could the Kim royal family be spared?
However, all her efforts were wasted by Jin Famin. Not only did she bury the last armed force of the Jin family, "Sanqianhualang", in this Taiji Palace, but she was also imprisoned for assassinating the Tang emperor. Within the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, the "royal family" is "imperial criminals". Unless they hide their names and linger on like wild dogs, no one will be able to survive...

Feeling the slight trembling of her sister's plump and tender body under her gorgeous brocade robe, and her dignified and beautiful face gradually turning pale, Jin Shengman felt fear in her heart, and quickly held Jin Deman's slender hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, please don't worry!" Don't be stupid. Throughout the ages, how can there be a country that lasts forever without a dynasty? Now the Tang Dynasty is strong and has been destroyed countless times. Silla is just one of them. When the Tang Dynasty flourished and declined , will repeat the mistakes of today's Silla... How can we compete with the general trend of history for more than ten years? Our sister's family is ruined and exiled here in Chang'an. If something happens to you, how can my sister survive alone? ?”

Leaning on her elder sister's body, she was about to cry.

Kinderman wiped away his tears, let out a sigh of relief, held his sister behind his back, and forced a smile: "Don't worry, sister, she's not that stupid... As you said, since the day that was attached, Silla has The country is already subjugated, and my mission as the king of Silla has also come to an abrupt end. After that, whether the Kim royal family lives or dies is a matter for the men in the clan. Since Kim Famin has chosen this path, it will matter whether he wins or loses He has to bear it himself, and I don’t think I can control it.”

Jin Shengman breathed out, and said softly: "It's best for my sister to think like this. We live in Chang'an now, and we are protected by the Lord, safe and wealthy. After my sister gives birth to an heir, even if she doesn't enter Fang's house, she can still accompany her." The child lives a good life, watching him marry a wife and have children, looking forward to his achievements, we support each other and love each other for a long time, this is life."

Regarding this remark, Kinderman was noncommittal, but changed the subject: "What's the situation outside now?"

"I heard that Li Daozong has divided his troops. Some of them continued to besiege Wude Palace, and some were taken by him to attack Chengtianmen. Mr. Lang has defeated tens of thousands of left guards who tried to attack. Now he has also captured Xuanwumen and entered Taiji Palace. On the way to help... King Jin also started to storm Mingde Gate, and I heard from Mei Niang that the garrison in the south of the city is not strong enough to stop the rebels, and it will only be a matter of time before King Jin enters the city..."

The Lizheng Hall is not closed, and the servants and maids travel between the Lizheng Hall and the Wude Hall, and they keep sending news back. There is also a heroine like Mei Niang who has a beautiful heart and a strategy that is as good as a man's. To help analyze the current situation, so Be very clear about the current situation.

Of course, such a difficult situation has also caused the royal family members gathered in the Lizheng Hall to become more panicked and worried...

……

At this moment, the news that Yu Chigong had just captured Chengtianmen had spread to Wude Hall, and everyone in the hall lost their voices.

As the gate of the Taiji Palace, Chengtianmen had already suffered a heavy blow during the Guanlong Mutiny. Many city gates including Chengtianmen were destroyed. Now that they have just been rebuilt, they once again endured the attack of the rebels, and so quickly the fall of...

In the hall, Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, could hardly suppress the panic in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Li Daozong rebelled and invaded Taiji Palace, and now he is besieging Wude Palace. Entering Chang'an City, even the Chengtian Gate fell, but Duke Wei's mercenaries stationed outside the Chunming Gate without moving, turning a blind eye, what exactly is he trying to do?"

Aside from the fact that the Six Commanders of the East Palace had sent Li Siwen and Qu Tuquan to intercept them when King Jin led his troops into the pass but failed miserably, Li Jing had been standing guard outside the Chunming Gate and watched the rebels enter the pass all the way until they broke through. The soldiers outside the Mingde gate approached the city, and they never made any moves.

Even when the rebels invaded Taiji Palace and captured Mingde Gate, and now even Chengtian Gate was lost, Li Jing still remained motionless and did not even move his nest. What was his intention?

Not only Zhang Liang was puzzled, but many civil servants and generals were also puzzled...

Li Chengqian's chubby body sat on the main seat, as stable as a mountain, and he ignored Zhang Liang's question, but just glanced at Li Ji who was on the side.

Li Ji said: "To this day, how many generals of the Sixteen Guards are present in this hall, can Duke Yun not see it?"

Everyone was shocked, could it be that all the generals of the sixteen guards had already stood by King Jin's side?
If this is the case, it can explain the reason why Li Jing has been standing still. It's not that he doesn't want to move, but he doesn't dare to move.

After the Eastern Expedition returned to the court, first there was a mutiny in Guanlong, and then Emperor Taizong died. The sixteen guards had not disarmed and were still in a wartime state. They were stationed in various places in Guanzhong. They were eyeing the changes in Chang'an. They can raise troops to attack Chang'an.

Under such a situation, Li Jing could only rely on his own prestige and the Six Rates of the East Palace under his account to frighten the world, how could he dare to act rashly?

If he dared to enter the city to rescue him, one of the sixteen guards would take the opportunity to attack Chang'an and trap him in Chang'an...

But Zhang Liang didn't believe it: "The Duke of England is No. 1 in the military of the Tang Dynasty. You and Duke Wei are enough to be called the 'Twin Walls of the Empire'. With you assisting Your Majesty, how can the rest dare to rebel and violate the rules? Even if someone is confused, But the generals of the sixteen guards can’t all stand on the side of the rebels, can they?”

Li Ji asked indifferently: "So what is your advice?"

Zhang Liang turned to Li Chengqian and said: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you that I believe that at this moment, Duke Wei should issue an order to lead the army into the city to serve the king. After all, the rebel army is close at hand, and we can't wait any longer. As for the other sixteen guards who are loyal and who are traitors, Whoever supports His Majesty wholeheartedly and who disregards righteousness and adheres to rebellion can take this opportunity to see clearly."

Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Liang and shook his head.

Ordinarily, this was the strategy he and Fang Jun had set up before, to take some risks, but they could see clearly from the top and bottom of the court. It is no longer feasible.

Without him, the risk has been extremely high, and once it fails, the consequences cannot be borne.

If Zhang Liang had given such a remonstrance before, Li Chengqian might have looked up to him, but now that he has made such a suggestion at this time, it is hard to say whether this person is lack of vision and strategically dull, or deliberately induced ulterior motives...

After a pause, Li Chengqian said: "You don't need to be alarmed, His Highness Wude has a secret road leading to the outside of the city. When the situation really collapses, everyone and I can leave the city through this, and our lives will be safe."

The officials in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.

Life is naturally safe, and even if they open the door to surrender at this moment, the rebels may not necessarily treat them as important officials of the court. The emperor takes turns to sit, and anyone can be replaced, but they cannot be ruled without these high-ranking ministers. nation……

But everyone also understands that once the secret road leaves the city, it means that the power center of the Tang Dynasty has changed hands. His Majesty has completely failed in this battle for the throne, and has to hand over the center of the Tang Dynasty. The empire Zhengshuo became a "rebel" of the separatist side.

Xu Jingzong got up abruptly, and expressed his attitude: "Your Majesty is the Zhengshuo of the Empire. Where righteousness and fame lie, he must be blessed by God. How can a traitor steal a great treasure if he is unfaithful and disregarding human relations? My minister is willing to mention it bravely with all his blood." The three-foot sword protects His Majesty to fight to the death, thwarts rebellion, and clarifies the universe!"

His words were really sonorous and filled with righteous indignation, but this short and fat appearance really reduced his righteousness a bit...

The rest of the people came to their senses, and secretly scolded Xu Jingzong for slandering the shameless You, unexpectedly they preempted them, and hurriedly expressed their opinions.

They have already accompanied His Majesty to this step, the outcome will be decided, how can they give up halfway?What's more, even if he switched to King Jin's sect at this moment, he would probably be regarded as a shameless person who had nowhere to turn and changed his course, and they would definitely not pay attention to it.

When the hall was full of noise, a guard entered quickly from outside the hall: "My Majesty, the Duke of Yue has led his army into the Taiji Palace and is attacking the rear of Li Daozong's rebel army!"

All the ministers lifted their spirits.
