Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 803 Decisive Battle at Luoyang Palace (1)

"Oh oh oh..."

As soon as the rooster sang, the sky gradually brightened up. Li Xian, who had not slept all night, was not only not sleepy, but even more energetic, because the time for the decisive battle was coming, and after more than ten years of hard work , and now it's time for the fruit to fall, whether it's victory or defeat depends on today's strike. At this moment, Li Xian's heart is full of fighting spirit!

"Change!"

What should be discussed has already been discussed, what should be deployed has already been deployed, and the decisive battle is imminent. Li Xian didn't intend to talk any more nonsense, so he stood up abruptly, looked around Di Renjie and other courtiers, his face became serious, and he stopped drinking in a calm voice a voice.

"promise!"

Li Xian gave an order, Gao Miao, who had already been waiting by his side, did not dare to neglect. With a wave of his hand, he led dozens of eunuchs to come in from outside the screen, and waited for Li Xian and others to change into white clothes and white robes. , For a while, the house was full of ministers wearing mourning.

"Show off the Xuanwu Gate!"

Looking at the ministers who were helping each other in the hall, Li Xian also had a lot of pride in his heart, but he didn't say much, he just waved his hand and gave the order incessantly.

"promise!"

Dozens of officials present have worked hard all night, not only running back and forth to contact the courtiers, but also discussing matters in the middle of the night, they are inevitably a little tired, but their spirits are amazing, because everyone knows This battle is a battle of winners and losers. No one will miss this great opportunity of the battle of dragons. The voice of the response is extraordinarily loud, and a sense of solemnity and heroism suddenly rises... Donggong and Xuanwu Although the gates are all part of the imperial palace, the East Palace is located in the South Palace of Luoyang, while the Xuanwu Gate is in the northernmost part of the North Palace. Four miles away, Li Xian and his party were waiting under the escort of two thousand white-clothed and white-armored Dong Gongwei. Although they marched quickly, it took 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, the sky had already brightened, and quite a few courtiers had gathered in the square. Seeing Li Xian and the others wearing mourning clothes, they couldn't help being a little confused, not because of anything else, but because of Gaozong's life and death It has not been confirmed yet, but Li Xian and others have already put on such a posture, which is undoubtedly the intention of fighting the last ditch, and today's matter may not be good.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Li Xian was about to come, all the courtiers were surprised or regretted, but no one dared to lose courtesy in front of Li Xian, so they had to pay respectful salutes incessantly.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Li Xian had a good look in his eyes, and with just a quick glance, he could see all the expressions of the courtiers present, but he didn't comment, he just yelled indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Long En."

Except for the four prime ministers, all the courtiers present were originally neutral factions, but since they dared to come here to participate in the grand event of forcing the palace, it has already shown their attitude of standing by Li Xian's side. When they came to such a field, they naturally hoped that Li Xian would win the final victory. Once this happened, he would be able to easily obtain the Conglong Gong. Because of this, the voice of Xie En seemed extraordinarily sincere and passionate.

"Your Highness, it is still uncertain whether your majesty's dragon body will be safe or not, you, this... hey, why did you do this!"

Most of the other ministers felt excited and gratified when they saw Li Xian put on a decisive battle stance, while a few regretted that they had plunged into the muddy water of life and death, but Pei Xingjian was heartbroken. What I don't want to see is such a decisive battle that may lead to a complete overturn of the court. Even though he knows that it is difficult to stop Li Xian's actions, Pei Xingjian still can't help but stand up and complain. .

"Pei Xiang, it wasn't my palace Meng Lang, but the situation forced me to do so. Now that my father and emperor are dead, my mother and empress have kept the funeral in secret, and even arranged for a murder to kill my palace. This is really intolerable. , and ask Pei Xiang to help me and give me back the Qingming of the Tang Dynasty!"

When Li Xian sent Liu Rengui to lobby Pei Xingjian yesterday, he didn't tell the whole arrangement, he just said that he wanted to meet Emperor Gaozong together, which is really suspected of deception. Facing Pei Xingjian's dismissal at this moment, Li Xian couldn't help it There was a tinge of guilt, but definitely not much, but what Li Xian showed was a deep sense of grievance and indignation.

"Ah, this, how is this possible?"

Hearing the word "kill the bureau", Pei Xingjian couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly asked questions.

"I don't dare to lie to Prime Minister Pei. Now, the Xuanwu Sect is full of soldiers and masters are gathered here to make money for me to enter the palace. If Xiang Pei doesn't believe it, let's wait and see."

When it was time for the showdown, Li Xian didn't need to hide any more, so he loudly announced the ambush of Empress Wu and others.

"Crafting and rebellious, dare to be arrogant like this, the veteran will defend His Highness to the death, and we must not allow the villain to steal the big position!"

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, before Pei Xingjian could express anything, Liu Rengui shouted loudly.

"Xiang Liu is justified, His Highness is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers are willing to die for His Highness!"

"How can the country of the Tang Dynasty allow the rooster to mess with the government? It is tolerable or unbearable. When all the traitors are punished, return the clarity of my country in the Tang Dynasty!"

"How can a country's great weapon 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 of the Prince's line shouted, and immediately, many courtiers who were close to Li Xian also followed up. The battle horns of the two thousand Eastern Palace Guards led the army sounded, and the fighting spirit soared to the sky in an instant, and the coercion was nine days!
"Your Highness, you can't, you absolutely can't. Now that your majesty's dragon body is especially unknown, it's not something a minister should do if he breaks the palace. If not, your Highness, please enlighten me!"

Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, Pei Xingjian couldn't help feeling a little anxious, fearing that the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" would happen again, so he hurriedly snatched it from the side, and hurriedly spoke out to remonstrate.

"Yes, Your Highness, please think twice, think twice!"

Although Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian had always been at odds with each other, they also did not want to see the bloodshed in the palace ban at this time, so they immediately agreed with each other.

"You two, Prime Minister Pei, please rest assured. I am not a reckless person, so I will have my own measure."

Li Xian knew the thoughts of the two chief ministers, but he didn't take it seriously, not for anything else, because if Li Xian wanted to play a military coup, he would have done it a long time ago, so how could he hold back until now? Of course Yes, especially before the matter was completely launched, Li Xian didn't intend to reveal all the cards in his hole, so he just replied vaguely.

"Your Highness, is there any evidence for what you said?"

Hearing that Li Xian didn't seem to have the intention of forcibly attacking the palace, the two Xiangzi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but they were not completely at ease. They looked at each other, and when they were about to speak again, they saw Hao Chujun had already stood up and asked with a solemn expression.

Although Hao Chujun has always presented a neutral face in the court, and it is feasible to start things, but he tends to help Li Xian every time. In the eyes of some queens, Hao Chujun is actually not much different from the officials of the crown prince. All the officials present were aware of this point, and because of this, seeing Hao Chujun stepping up to hold him accountable at such a moment, all the courtiers were unavoidably confused, and the voices of confusion naturally arose. There was complete silence at this point, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xian, wanting to know how Li Xian would explain this accountability.

"Hao Xiang asked well. The gang of thieves who steal the country thought they were careful. They not only set up an ambush to kill His Highness the Crown Prince, but also forged the last emperor's edict to try to do something wrong. They forgot the old saying that the sky has eyes. How could it be possible to hide the truth from His Royal Highness's holy inspector, a loyal minister has already reported to His Highness, and that's why all the princes gathered here today to share the grand act of righteousness, whether it is true or not, we will see later! "

Hao Chujun's question is extremely sensitive, and if he really wants to answer it, it will inevitably involve many 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 he will not answer Hao Chujun Li Xian didn't answer the question, so naturally someone would help, but seeing Di Renjie step forward, he justly condemned the rear party members, and by the way, pulled all the ministers and workers present to the righteous side.

"Lord Di is right, Your Highness, just give your order. Even if I fight to the death, I will bring these thieves to justice!"

"That's right, traitors and ministers, everyone gets to punish them!"

"Your Highness, please give an order, and I will obey everything!"

Since ancient times, the merit of the dragon has been the greatest contribution, and it is much higher than the military merit. Most of the courtiers present came here with such thoughts, and then they were encouraged by Di Renjie. Xian's side already had the chance to win, so there was no reason not to express his loyalty quickly, the calls to support Li Xian kept ringing out one after another.

"Hao Xiang, please wait a moment, it won't be too long, at most half an hour, everything will be in broad daylight."

Li Xian did not stop the loyal words and deeds of the courtiers, but listened with a smile until the courtiers gradually calmed down, then he gave Hao Chujun a clear answer with a calm expression.

"Your Highness is wise, the veteran will wait and see."

Hearing that Li Xian had already reached this point, even though Hao Chujun still had doubts in his heart, he couldn't keep asking, so he could only answer with his hands clasped, and stepped back to the side.

"Well, Hao Xianghui will see it."

Li Xian is very clear that Hao Chujun is a straight minister, and he always starts from the word "reasonable" in his actions, and he will not care about his words and accountability, so he smiled calmly, said something casually, and put the matter on the back of his mind , turned around, and faced the tightly closed Xuanwu Gate, stood silently, quietly waiting for the scene of the good show to be staged.
