Wentang

Chapter 124
After Yu Chigong left, Yue Shan and Li Shimin didn't talk anymore, but rested separately.

But Chang'an City is too big, it is simply not realistic to gather people together in one night.Moreover, with so many people gathered in the Prince Qin's mansion at night, it would be difficult to hide it from others, even if the emperor didn't want to be extravagant.

So even though Li Shimin didn't say the exact time of the meeting, everyone knew that the meeting was scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Those who can and are willing to come tomorrow morning are all core members who can be trusted.

Yue Shan was not stupid enough to say that I couldn't help the coup, so he went home first, and I will come back when your coup is successful.

From the moment he left home with Yuchi Baolin, he had officially stepped into this quagmire, and he would never be able to leave.

This time Li Shimin's coup can be said to be promoted by him alone.

Since last year when he said that Li Chengqian was unspeakable about the Scarlet Xuanwu Gate, the root of rebellion had already been planted in Li Shimin's heart.

Although he didn't say that much when he said it at the beginning, he was just influenced by history, and by the way, he said it casually for the sake of playing tricks.

But listening to Li Shimin, who was unwilling to admit it, did play a catalytic role.And today he said more bluntly that only your wife and children can live long when you are the emperor, which drove him to a dead end.

In the original history, there is no need to think too much about why Li Shimin launched a coup, but in this world, Yue Shan is definitely the main promoter. He catalyzed Li Shimin's ambition.

One word best describes his role in it: behind the scenes.

Such an important person, on the eve of the coup, how could Li Shimin let him go.It can be said that if he dared to take a step outside the Qin Palace, Li Shimin would definitely kill him.

Yue Shan also understood this, so he took the initiative to ask Li Shimin for a room to rest.

Lying on the bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind was full of information about the Xuanwu Gate Change.

In history, the objective conditions for Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwumen Incident were actually similar to the present, or even worse than the present.

In the original history, Li Yuan's suspicion of him has reached an undisguised level, and he has made up his mind to seize his military power and drive him out of the center.

Before that, almost all the important generals under him were driven out of Chang'an City, so that only a dozen or so generals could be used when the coup was launched.

It can be seen how embarrassing the situation was.

Every time he saw the episode of Xuanwumen Change, Yue Shan felt that Li Shimin's victory was too lucky.

Li Shimin also recruited many people, especially the generals in the army, including the twelve guards, the left and right guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards. There are Li Shimin's people in the ranks of the forbidden army.

It's just that these people can't be used for coups.

At this time Li Yuan is the real emperor, these troops are loyal to him, and most of the generals of the forbidden army are loyal to Li Yuan.

The people Li Shimin wooed could only do one thing, and that was to help him take over these troops smoothly after he took control of the emperor.

Therefore, the number of people he can use is pitifully small, only a dozen generals and eight hundred soldiers, and counting the generals and servants of each family, there are less than a thousand people.So much so that even the Qin Palace, the old nest, was empty, and the eldest grandson Wugou personally put on armor and took a knife to protect his children.

Even so, the strength is still not enough, thanks to Gao Shilian.He went to the prison to find the death row prisoners, and told them that the prince's rebellion against the emperor was at stake, and that anyone who went to make contributions with him would be pardoned for all death crimes and be rewarded.

In order to survive, these condemned prisoners burst out with powerful combat power. Although they failed to reach the Xuanwu Gate, they also held back a large number of forbidden troops.

It's just that there are too many unknown factors on death row, and any accident may fail.Yue Shan didn't want to include this power unless he had to.

He began to figure out what other powers he could use without being discovered in advance.

Not to mention, it really reminded him that there is a team that can be used.In history, it was this army that pulled Li Shimin back from the brink of failure at a critical moment.

It is the two thousand camps of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army stationed at Xuanwu Gate.

This army is very unfamiliar to everyone, but many people know their leaders, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng.

In history, Li Shimin's coup was not notified to them, and they only learned the news in a hurry.Facing the counterattack of the two thousand Changlin army, the two had no time to organize an army, so they brought their personal guards forward to stop them, and both of them died.

But they used their own deaths to buy time for Li Shimin. By the time Chang Lin's army attacked Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin had already grasped the overall situation.

If they used their power well in this life, the coup would not be so dangerous.

I don't know why Li Shimin didn't inform them in the original history. Maybe it was because he didn't trust them, or maybe he was afraid that too many people who knew would cause trouble.

But since Yueshan has passed through, he will definitely not let such a new force go unused.But he didn't make his own claim, and told Li Shimin this idea tomorrow, and let him judge whether he can use this power.

In addition to this army, what other forces can be used?
It's a pity that he knows too little about the court situation, and he can't think of anything else except the servants of the generals.

Forget it, wait until tomorrow when all the people are called.

Knowing oneself and the enemy, that's about all Li Shimin can use, so who are the enemies he will face?

However, just thinking about Yue Shan made me feel deeply hopeless.

The left and right Marquis Guards, the left and right prison gate guards, the left and right Qianniu Guards, the guards at the gates of the palaces, the guards patrolling the city... There are at least 6 or [-] people in total.

This is not counting the two thousand Changlin Army directly under the East Palace.

With 800 people against 6 to [-], I really don't know who gave Li Shimin the courage to rebel. Anyway, just thinking about Yue Shan makes his scalp numb and his limbs feel weak, and he feels incontinent.

Forget it, forget it.There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and it is useless to be afraid after getting to this point.It's better to have a good sleep, and wait until tomorrow those big shots get together to see how they discuss it.

I thought like this in my heart, but my brain was out of control at all, and my mind was full of eight hundred VS fifty thousand.The little drowsiness has long since disappeared.

Just like that, I lay down with my eyes closed until dawn without falling asleep.

The next day, after washing up under the service of the maid, I went to Li Shimin's room to have breakfast with him.

What surprised Yue Shan was that Li Shimin was able to go to the ground.

You must know that this is the third day of his poisoning, and even three days in the medically advanced world of later generations are not enough to recover, let alone Chu Tang, who has poor medical conditions.

Yue Shan can only sigh with emotion that will can really create miracles.

But soon he discovered that things seemed to be developing in a strange direction.Both Changsun Wugou and Li Shimin looked at him with grateful...trusting expressions, which made him a little puzzled.

Did something happen that I don't know about?What's going on with these two?
It wasn't until Changsun Wugou thanked him for curing Li Shimin's injury that he knew that another misunderstanding had occurred.

Thinking about it, I was still lying on the bed yesterday, looking like a dying person, I just chatted with him for a while without taking medicine, and today I can eat by myself...

No wonder they think crooked.

Regarding this misunderstanding, Yue Shan can only say... as many as there are, I don't think there are too many.

Not long after breakfast, the first member of the core team entered Qin Palace...
