Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 290 Upheaval in the Palace (2)

"Who are you? An dare to block the king's way!"

Li Xian glanced at the general, seeing that he was extremely unfamiliar, he had never seen him face to face, he couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart, but he didn't rush to act, but snorted coldly.

"The last general, Xue Tao, is Zuo Yulin Junlang General. He was just transferred back from Liaodong a few days ago, and now he is ordered to come to Suwei Wuyun Hall. Please don't make things difficult for the last general, Your Highness."

Xue Tao was from the frontier army, and being transferred to the Yulin Army this time was considered a big promotion, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as being ordered to put Li Xian under house arrest just after he took office. Even if Li Xian's bravery has become a myth in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Tao is not afraid of a battle, but he is not a fool. From the previous conversation between Li Xian and Sun Quanfu He could hear that the situation seemed strange, and when he thought that he might be involved in the palace conspiracy, Xue Tao's heart was completely confused. Although he was still calm in his words, his body was uncontrollable. trembling slightly.

"It turned out to be General Xue, and I came just in time. Gu decided that Sun Quanfu's move was a false imperial decree, and was about to take it to see his father, and asked General Xue to help Gu!"

As soon as Li Xian heard that this person was just transferred from the frontier army, he immediately knew that this person was being used. With a slight movement in his heart, his expression softened instantly, and he returned the salute with his hands in an unquestionable tone. gave an order.

"Ah, this, this..."

Xue Tao had just arrived, so he didn't know the activities in the court at all. Seeing Li Xian's words were so sure, his already confused mind became even more confused. He looked at Li Xian, then at Sun Quanfu, I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"General Xue, His Majesty the King of England is acting recklessly. Your Majesty has an order here. Do you dare to resist the order?"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Sun Quanfu couldn't care less about anything, and screamed in spite of himself, which can be said to be extremely harsh.

"His Royal Highness, Haihan, the last general has been ordered to guard the Wuyun Palace, and until he receives new orders, the last general can only stick to his post. All the troops obey the order and set up the formation!"

Xue Tao is not stupid, just looking at Sun Quanfu's appearance, he knew that there must be a fraud, but the order he received was not from Sun Quanfu, but from his superior, Yulin Army General Wang Sheng. He didn't dare to let Li Xian leave before his superior gave instructions. He had no choice but to grit his teeth, apologized, waved the three-foot green peak in his hand, and shouted loudly to order his troops to form an army formation.

what to do?To rush or not to rush?Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army had already started to form formation, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little troubled - as far as the combat power of the Habayashi Army was concerned, Li Xian didn't take it seriously at all, regardless of the officers and soldiers surrounding here There are as many as four hundred, but in Li Xian's eyes, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs. It is not too difficult to break out of the encirclement. Even if he is justified, as long as he fights with the Yulin Army, he will become unreasonable. Besides, Princess Mingyue and Zhao Qiong are still in the palace, if something goes wrong, Li Xian will regret it to death But if you don't rush, it's hard to say what the consequences will be once Empress Wu's conspiracy is launched.

"Since General Xue insists on doing this, I will have no choice but to offend him, so let's take you down and go face the saint together with Bandit Sun!"

Li Xian didn't hesitate for too long, he had already made a decision in his heart. In his opinion, if he didn't advance at this time, he would die. It was obvious that he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he sneered, and with his palms up, he was about to break out of the encirclement by force.

As the so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, all the Habayashi soldiers have been guarding the palace all year round, and they have heard too much of Li Xian's reputation. The sound of unsheathing was heard, and hundreds of people were tensely on guard, as if they were facing a big enemy.

"stop!"

Just when the battle was about to break out, a shout suddenly sounded in the darkness, and immediately after a commotion in the rear of the Habayashi Army, the general Xue Rengui in golden armor had already lined up to the front of the formation.

"The last general, Xue Rengui, sees His Highness the King of England."

Xue Rengui ignored Xue Tao who came forward to meet him, and Sun Quanfu who approached with twinkling eyes, just strode up to Li Xian, saluted respectfully and greeted him.

"General Xue, you don't need to be too polite. I'm going to meet my father. Does General Xue have any advice?"

Li Xian didn't know what the purpose of Xue Rengui's visit was, so he didn't want to be too polite, so he nodded calmly and asked in a calm tone.

"Your Highness, please help yourself!"

The reason why Xue Rengui returned to his post so quickly after the defeat in Dafeichuan was that apart from Gaozong's favor, he also relied on Li Xian's help, but this was not the reason for Xue Rengui's release. The real reason was that As soon as this disturbance started, Xue Rengui had already received the news, and immediately went to report to Emperor Gaozong who was weeping unceasingly, but he did not explain the truth of the disturbance here, but only said that King Li Xian of England asked to see him. Since weeping drowsily, without thinking carefully, Xue Rengui agreed casually, and Xue Rengui led the people to rush to the Wuyun Palace. Fortunately, the distance between Wuyun Palace and Qianyuan Palace is not too far Xue Rengui was able to arrive before the chaos broke out. At this time, when he heard that Li Xian was going to face the saint, he would naturally not stop him.

"Thank you General Xue."

Li Xian really didn't want to fight Xue Rengui with 12 points. Hearing Xue Rengui's attitude, he immediately let go of his heartstrings, and bowed his hands very politely.

"Your Highness, please!"

Xue Rengui didn't say any more nonsense, but just gave Li Xian a meaningful look, and waved his hand to signal Li Xian to take it easy.

Ok?That bastard Sun Quanfu actually slipped away, so nimble!Li Xian was not in a hurry to leave, but glanced at the surrounding situation, only to realize that Sun Quanfu had escaped at some point, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. , there were four eunuchs attacking the king before, but now they are all lying in the palace, and I asked General Xue to take down the four thieves. The general sent people to guard this hall, I am grateful."

"Yes, the last will obey!"

When Xue Rengui heard that someone was attacking Li Xian, he was startled immediately, and he didn't ask any more details, he hastily responded, and directed all his subordinates to enter the hall to catch people.

Old villain, since we are going to do something, let's see for ourselves, just wait and see!Li Xian didn't care about Xue Rengui's formation of troops, adjusted his clothes a bit, and strode towards the Qianyuan Hall. Although his face was calm as usual, the hatred for Empress Wu was extremely strong in his heart.

"My son, why did you go so hard, Hong'er, my Hong'er..."

Li Xian just arrived in front of the Qianyuan Hall, and before entering the hall, he heard crying from inside. Obviously, Gaozong was extremely saddened by Li Hong's death, Li Xian couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the sound, but He didn't dare to delay, just shook his head slightly, then walked over to the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who were guarding in front of the hall, handed over their waist cards, and one of the generals came forward and respectfully received them. After passing Li Xian's waist card, he hurriedly walked towards the hall without counting breaths, then turned back again, conveyed Gaozong's oral order, and asked Li Xian to have an audience immediately.

"Son, my Hong'er, I'm going to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man, Hong'er, why do you have the heart to leave me and leave like this, Hong'er..."

As soon as Li Xianfang entered the hall, he saw Gao Zong sitting on the dragon bed and weeping loudly, while Empress Wu accompanied him with a sad face and shed tears silently. The couple seemed to be immersed in endless grief. So much so that they didn't even see Li Xian coming.

"The sons and ministers kowtow to the father and the queen, and kowtow to the mother."

Li Xian didn't dare to look any further, so he quickly rushed to the front of the gate, and greeted him with a trembling voice.

"Ah, it's Xian'er who's here, alas, you know Hong'er has gone, alas, my heart is in a mess, woohoo, my Hong'er..."

Gaozong raised his head with tears in his eyes. Seeing that it was Li Xian who had arrived, he wept slightly, but after saying a few words, he couldn't help crying again. It was obvious that Li Hong's death had completely hurt him. heart of.

"Father, how did the elder brother of the crown prince go? At the dinner party yesterday, the elder brother of the crown prince was still doing well. How could he go just as he said? If the child doesn't believe it, there must be something wrong!"

After going through the danger of being under house arrest like before, Li Xian didn't intend to pretend to be confused. After kowtowing, he didn't get up, knelt up straight, and reported the report in a passionate tone.

"Huh? Why did Xian'er say that?"

Hearing Li Xian's words with such certainty, Gao Zong immediately stopped crying, opened his hazy eyes, and questioned suspiciously.

"If you go back to the father, the minister will almost not be able to see the father. Earlier, Sun Quanfu falsely passed on the father's will and led his troops to surround the Wuyun Palace, intending to put the son to death. Fortunately, General Xue arrived in time. I was lucky enough to get out of the catastrophe. Although Sun Quanfu and the thief were gone, my son took down four survivors, and now they are under the control of General Xue. Let me judge others. I think that the death of the prince's brother must be the cause of death. There are thieves working in secret, I beg your father to issue an order to investigate clearly immediately, and don't let the thieves go unpunished!" Li Xian replied impassionedly, utterly throwing his weight behind him.

"What? There is such a thing? Come, come, come!"

As soon as Gaozong heard Li Xian's words, he immediately became angry. He jumped up, slammed the dragon case, and roared emotionally, like an angry lion, but his thin body obviously couldn't bear it. After waiting for the passion, he yelled a few times, unable to catch his breath, he was already dizzy and fell limply on the dragon bed.
