Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 801 The Eastern Capital Is Moving (5)

At the end of the day, the sun has already set in the west, and the sky is full of colorful clouds, which are extremely enchanting. It is definitely a rare beauty in winter, but Li Xian has no intention of admiring it. Even if he is standing by the window sill at this moment, his mind is Not above the scenery, from time to time there is a flash of light in his squinted eyes, the meaning of which is really hard to understand.

Good news came back one after another. Among the seven prime ministers, except for Jia Chaoyin and Yue Wang Li Zhen, all of them have agreed to the proposal of going to see Emperor Gaozong together tomorrow. Of course, among the five prime ministers, there is only Liu Rengui They stood by Li Xian's side sincerely, while the other four held a wait-and-see attitude. They did not fully support Li Xian's forced palace operation. Entering the palace early in the morning has two meanings. First, it is naturally concerned about Gaozong's life and death. After all, Gaozong has not had any news for more than a month. The ministers can't help but suspect that there may be something wrong. He also constrained Li Xianzhi's intentions. If Gaozong was still alive, the four prime ministers would definitely turn around and impeach Li Xian mercilessly.

Li Xian was aware of the intentions of the ministers, but he didn't take them seriously. The reason was simple. Since he was going to do something tomorrow, Li Xian had no intention of doing good. Even if Gaozong was still alive, Li Xian didn't care, the big deal It's better to play the drama of forcing the palace into Xuanwumen. Li Xian still has no lack of confidence. Li Xian has already arranged the specific arrangements, but he is not afraid that the queen's party will turn the world upside down.

The situation seems to be good, but Li Xian is not excited. He faintly feels that he seems to have missed something, but under the complexity of everything, he can't think of what is wrong, even if he has gone through the overall plan carefully in his heart I repeated it several times, but I didn't find anything wrong, and I couldn't help but feel a little impetuous.

"Your Highness."

Just as Li Xian was meditating silently, amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, the sweaty Luo Tong strode in from outside. After a few quick steps, he grabbed Li Xian's back and called out in a hasty tone.

"Ok?"

Li Xian turned around and saw that it was Luo Tong who had come. His brows that were slightly frowning suddenly deepened, but he didn't speak.

"His Royal Highness, according to an urgent report from the inside of the Yue Palace, around the end of the year, the Yue King suddenly disappeared, and his current whereabouts are unknown. It is said that before the disappearance, the Yue King was always in the back garden. Discussed in the garden for a while, and after Pei Shoude left, the King of Yue disappeared, and his subordinates have asked people to inquire, but there is no definite news yet."

Seeing Li Xian's gaze swept over him, Luo Tong didn't dare to be negligent, bowed his body hastily, and hastened to report the news in detail.

Actually escaped?This old fox is really cunning enough!
Hearing what Luo Tong said, Li Xian couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that the place where he had been restless before was right here—although Li Xian didn't take Li Zhen very seriously, But knowing that this person is not an idler, he didn't intend to let him go. The original plan was to take him down when the matter of the palace was revealed, so as not to completely disrupt the morale of the Xiangzhou army, but Li Chong and others can be counted on to be a little bit jealous, and there are many wonderful uses in it. For this reason, Li Xian not only deployed a lot of people to keep a close watch on the surroundings of the Yue Palace, but also ordered the full use of the Yue Palace. He wanted to catch the old fox, the king of Yue, in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect the old thief to be so slippery that he ran away after hearing the news.

"Take back the manpower, that guy should have escaped from the city, well, he left in such a hurry, there must not be many guards around him, let Wang Bandao's team go after him and watch."

After Li Xianlue thought about it, he concluded that Li Zhen was going to join the army of Xiangzhou, so he decided to send more people to capture him back, but tomorrow's matter is more important, so he can't be easily ignored. In view of this, although Li Xian If he is unwilling, he can only send a small team of people to do some personnel work.

"No, the last general will do it."

Now that Li Xian had made his decision, Luo Tong didn't dare to delay a little bit, he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly left the study, not mentioning related matters since he went to collect money... "Put money and food, be careful of candles!"

At the time of Xushi, there was a melodious sound of bells on the corner tower of Luoyang Palace, accompanied by the shrill voice of the eunuch in charge, the two extremely thick Xuanwu gates were suddenly closed, and the inside and outside of the palace were completely cut off into two worlds From the outside of the palace, all of this seems to be the same as in the past, but the palace is not as quiet and peaceful as in the past. Groups of armored warriors wrapped their feet in cotton cloth and walked quickly with their swords in their mouths. There are many old and young Taoist priests with sharp swords on their shoulders, and the entire North Palace of Luoyang Palace has a chilling atmosphere, especially the Tongxun Gate, which connects with the East Palace, is full of soldiers, coming one after another A total of three thousand officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army gathered in the square under the city gate. Although they were speechless, there was a strong murderous aura rising into the sky.

On the tall city wall of Tongxun Gate, Wu Yizong with five short statures wandered back and forth like a big horse monkey. His face was full of impatience and worry. All the Qixia audience masters who were originally arranged at the general training gate have been transferred away. Now, apart from his two thousand Yulin soldiers, there are only two third-generation disciples of Qixia Temple left, and what he has to face is He is the master of the three thousand tigers in the East Palace. Even if he knows that the tigers in the East Palace will not attack easily, but Wu Yizong has a ghost in his heart, so how can he be at ease, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements all the time, but Zuo waited. Wait, wait, there is no sign of the reinforcements assembled on the city wall showing signs of defending. This made Wu Yizong very anxious. Hearing the sound of armor rubbing against the stairs in the upper city, his heart skipped a beat and he trotted over.

"The last general will see General Li!"

Seeing that the person walking up to the top of the city was Li Duozuo, the general of the Zuo Yulin Army surrounded by a group of armored warriors, Wu Yizong was secretly relieved, and did not dare to lose his manners in front of his immediate superior. , hastily went up to greet him, and respectfully performed a military salute.

"Ah."

Li Duozuo was obviously in a bad mood, he didn't pay attention to Wu Yizong's courteous greeting at all, he just let out a soft snort from his nostrils, and without even looking at Wu Yizong, he led a group of personal guards and walked in without looking sideways. After entering the city gate tower, he walked to the back of the first few sons, and sat down with a sullen face.

"Savage!"

Relying on Empress Wu's power, Emperor Wu Yizong had always been unscrupulous in the imperial guards. This time he was neglected by Li Duozuo, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart. Just venting his grievances about being assigned to Tongxunmen, Wu Yizong couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, but he never dared to forget the business. After stomping his feet resentfully, he could only turn around and walk forward boringly In the city gate tower.

"General, it's getting late, look at the defense..."

Although Wu Yizong was extremely arrogant, he didn't dare to behave too presumptuously in front of the barbarian Li Duozuo, so he approached cautiously and spoke with a smile on his face.

Li Duozuo was obviously still sulking, he ignored Wu Yizong's advice at all, and just sat still on his own.

"General, the Tongxun School is an important place, so don't neglect it. If there is a slight mistake, in case the empress will blame you one day later, then..."

Seeing that Li Duozuo didn't respond for a while, Wu Yizong became anxious. In this panic, he carried out Empress Wu's big signboard regardless, intending to use it to suppress Li Duozuo.

"Humph!"

It's fine if Wu Yizong doesn't mention Empress Wu. Li Duozuo's complexion instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot when he mentioned it. , but in the end, he didn't dare to say anything disrespectful to Empress Wu, so he just snorted heavily.

"The general calms down, the last general has no other intentions, just worried about the loss of defense, and it is better to ask the general to make arrangements early."

Li Duozuo's army has always been extremely strict, and they are often served by military sticks. Although Wu Yizong has never been beaten, he often sees his colleagues being tortured on weekdays, so he does not want to experience it for himself. Seeing Li Duozuo's expression was wrong, he hastily softened the conversation.

"Um……"

I don't know whether Wu Yizong's constant reminders played a role, or because he was afraid of Empress Wu, but Li Duozuo didn't show Wu Yizong's rudeness. After he got angry, he waved his hand and ordered Said: "General Wu, the people who brought you all retreated from the top of the city, this place will take over!"

"Ah, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? The last general..."

Upon hearing Li Duozuo's order, Wu Yizong was shocked immediately, and hurriedly tried to explain it.

"Hmph, as for those trash under your command, once something happens, what else can they be used for besides messing up the general's position, what? Are you going to disobey the military order, huh?"

Li Duozuo didn't give Wu Yizong a chance to finish his speech at all, and asked without any politeness.

"Well... well, since the general said so, the last general will obey."

Seeing that Li Duozuo was about to lose his temper, Wu Yizong didn't dare to push himself any further, and reluctantly agreed, and went to the city to summon all the troops to change defenses. Of course, during the process of changing defenses, he did not forget to send People reported the matter to Empress Wu.

"Report to the general, the last general's troops have been assembled, please give instructions from the general."

Wu Yizong's ability to govern the army is average, but his efficiency is not bad. After a while, he gathered all the [-] officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army deployed on the city under the city, but he himself did not leave. Instead, he walked into the gate tower, bowed to Li Duozuo with a smile on his face, and reported something.

"Ah."

Li Duozuo ignored Wu Yizong's report, closed his eyes slightly, waved his hands lazily, and made a soft sound, a personal guard stood up from the side, hurriedly responded, and rushed down the city The gate tower did not turn around, and three thousand tiger and wolf divisions had already lined up to the top of the city, and quickly occupied various key passes.
