Chapter 105 Bloody Rong Palace

Chapter 113 Bloody Rong Palace

Early in the morning of the second day, the rising sun had just risen above the clouds, cutting through the gloom and coldness of the night.

The gate of the palace was opened, and the majestic Concubine Yang's ceremonial car drove out of the Zhuque Gate, and walked slowly southward along the wide and empty Zhuque Street until it reached the Mingde Gate.

Sure enough, there were Habayashi guards at the gate of the city, which were heavily guarded.

The eunuch in charge stepped forward to show the gold medal, and the imperial concubine went out. Habayashi Wei didn't get the order from the peak, so he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only let him go.

Zhang Xuan disguised himself as the leader of the palace guards, and led a hundred brave guards to guard Yang Yuhuan's chariot.

Inside the chariot, Yang Yuhuan sat in full dress, surrounded by light gauze.From the outside, it is difficult to really see her face and figure, only her noble and youthful beauty can be seen faintly through the gauze curtain.

At this moment, Yang Yuhuan gently opened the gauze curtain, and cast a glance at Zhang Xuan who was riding in awkward posture on the horse with a slightly painful look, and couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling.

In Zhang Xuan's previous life, he only rode a horse in a horse farm, which was purely for entertainment.But that kind of horse is no better than the galloping war horses of this era. It took him a full cup of tea this morning, with the help of the guards and eunuchs, to get on the horse and barely sit still, and circle around Yang Yuhuan's bedroom .

For Zhang Xuan, this journey was simply a torment.

If it wasn't for Zhang Defu and a bodyguard who then "protected" him by his side, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he would have almost got off his horse and followed him on foot.

Fortunately, there is not much technical content in riding a horse. After traveling for several miles from Xingqing Palace to the Imperial City, and then from the Imperial City to Suzaku Gate, he has mastered some skills. Although the posture is still awkward, at least he can Barely rode alone.

Hearing Yang Yuhuan's inaudible chuckle, Zhang Xuan glared at her pretending to be ashamed, then took out a piece of paper from his cuff, crumpled it up, and then quietly lifted Yang Yuhuan's hand. The gauze curtain was thrown in.

A paper ball rolled in, and Yang Yuhuan froze for a moment, then picked it up and opened it, her face turned red immediately.

"A ball of red jade is under the mandarin duck's curtain, sleepy eyes are dim and the wine is weak; the wrists are raised high and the body is turned, the ecstasy breasts are stretched out."

"This little enemy...wrote such erotic poems to tease my family!" Yang Yuhuan clenched her fists bitterly, and muttered to herself, "I can't spare you!"

Yang Yuhuan's mouth was furious, but involuntarily the lingering scene with Zhang Xuan Hanyuan Temple last night appeared in front of his eyes, recalling the almost soul-stirring long kiss, his whole body was hot, his face was glowing, so red that water could be squeezed out.

……

……

Rongwang Mansion, the main hall.

Li Wan walked into the hall slowly, except for An Lushan and An Sishun who were not there, everyone who attended the banquet at Prince Rong's Mansion last night was present.The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing and dull, except for Gao Xianzhi, Pei Dunfu, Xue Dewang who were relatively close party members who knew what Li Wan wanted to do and what he was about to do, the others were still at a loss.

Of course, no one is a fool. At this extremely delicate moment, it is not difficult to guess what it means for Li Wan to summon them to discuss matters again.

Sheng Wang Li Qi, Princess Xianyi and other royal families were secretly warned by the emperor, and they were not willing to meddle in Li Wan's affairs, but Li Wan sent people to be soft and hard, and they dared not come out of consideration for their own safety.

It is said that getting on a pirate ship is easy and getting off a pirate ship is difficult, and this is probably the reason.

Li Qi raised his head and glanced at Li Wan, hesitant to speak.Princess Xianyi was about to speak, but Li Qi pulled the skirt of her clothes, signaling her not to make fun of herself.

From Li Qi's point of view, the current King Rong has gone crazy, and he can't listen to any objections, let alone betrayal.

General Huo Qing of the Habayashi Guard, dressed in armor and with a sword across his waist, hurried into the hall, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.It can be seen that he seems to have just come from the army.

Huo Qing raised his head and bowed to Li Wan, "Huo Qing has met His Highness!..."

Having said that, Huo Qing strode over and whispered a few words in Li Wan's ear.Li Wan was startled, pondered for a while and said indifferently, "Don't worry about Concubine Yang for now, we have a major event coming up, and the deployment of all parties has not yet been in place, so don't make any troubles for the time being."

Li Wan looked deeply at Huo Qing, their eyes met, and they got a certain kind of assurance and affirmation from Huo Qing's gaze, then Li Wan smiled loudly and said, "Everyone, please sit down. I invite you to come today, there is an important matter to discuss. "

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions."

"Sixth brother, let's talk, sister Xianyi and I are listening."

Li Wan nodded, his smile faded, his eyes became gloomy in an instant, he stood up slowly and said loudly, "This king was granted Jing Zhaomu in Kaiyuan 15, and he also led the Longyou Jiedu ambassador. In the June of the first year of Tianbao, Shanyu was granted the title of Protector of Dadu... All along, he has devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty, shared his Majesty's worries, and never dared to slack off."

"Among dozens of princes and princesses, this king is confident that his talents, virtues, and merits are not inferior to anyone else, and he can be a model for princes and children. However, Li Heng, the current prince of the East Palace, is not talented enough to govern the country, his virtue is not enough to cultivate himself and his family, and his ability is not enough. Rectify the world... If the Tang Dynasty is handed over to him, the ancestors will be ruined."

"This king is not talented, and he wrote a letter to recommend himself. And His Majesty also mentioned something in person, saying that the throne can be passed on to this king in a hundred years."

"However, the crown prince Li Heng colluded with the traitor Yang Guozhong, conspired with the imperial concubine and empress, and deceived the saint..." Li Wan's voice suddenly increased by an octave, and he said sharply, "This king and the crown prince are close relatives, but the safety of the country and society is at stake, brothers What is the meaning of love?"

"Your Majesty is old and fatuous. He listens to slanderous rumors and blocks the way of words. He connives at the Crown Prince and the treacherous party for personal gain, endangering the country of the Tang Dynasty... In view of this, this king decides to follow the example of the former sages and implement military remonstrance! I demand that Your Majesty abolish the Crown Prince, punish traitors, and sideline the Qing Dynasty..."

When Li Wan said this, his tone became more impassioned.

Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, especially the princes and princesses like Sheng Wang Li Qi and Princess Xianyi never thought that Li Wan would rebel!What kind of military remonstrance is nothing more than gathering people to plot rebellion and forcing the emperor to abdicate.If one fails, maybe there will be a human tragedy of patricide and power seizure!
Among the people present, at least a small half were shocked with trepidation, trepidation with regret.

Although they joined Li Wan's family, they never thought that Li Wan would lead troops to rebel one day.This matter of rebellion and rebellion, the winner and the loser, once the matter is defeated, Li Wan will die without a place to bury him, and they, the followers of the bandits, will not have a good end.

Feng Tao, the censor doctor, was shocked, stood up and said tremblingly, "His Royal Highness, absolutely not, absolutely not! Your Highness is His Majesty's own son, and you can take it easy in the fight for the crown prince, and you can't take risks and do those treasonous forced palaces." Things!"

Li Wan smiled indifferently, and looked at Feng Tao coldly, "This king has made up his mind, and everything has been basically arranged properly. There is no reason to give up halfway when you open the bow and there is no turning back?"

"Since His Royal Highness insists on going his own way, please forgive me for not following Feng. Feng is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he dare not follow such a rebellious thing! Farewell!" Feng Tao's face changed, and he was about to hand over leave.

Li Wan laughed wildly, pointed at Feng Tao and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for not talking about the past. Come here, behead!"

As soon as Li Wan finished speaking, dozens of murderous men in black with Mo Dao poured in from outside the hall. All of them had black scarves wrapped around their heads.

And one of the men took a few steps forward, and when he waved the Mo knife in his hand, a burst of blood burst out. Feng Tao had no time to react, a big head flew into the air, and then fell heavily, splashing blood all over the ground with a puff .

******************************************
Zhang Xuan sent Yang Yuhuan to Yuzhen Temple.

There is a barracks of Habayashi Guard next to Yuzhen Temple, which is a small army of 500 people stationed here to guard Yuzhen Temple. Generally, the Habayashi Guard General's Mansion cannot be transferred, and directly obeys the emperor's orders.And because he has been stationed outside Yuzhen Temple these years, he has actually evolved into Princess Yuzhen's confidant and private soldier long ago.

With the army guards and the influence of Princess Yuzhen, Yuzhen Temple is basically the safest place outside Chang'an City.Li Wan had limited troops, so he could only concentrate his troops to control the Chang'an Palace, and the possibility of going out of the city to occupy Yuzhen Temple was extremely low.

The reason is very simple, as long as he forces the emperor to abdicate and succeed him as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even a small Yuzhen Temple will not be able to cause any trouble.But on the other hand, even if he tried his best to control Princess Yuzhen, it would not help the matter. Instead, he would fail due to the dispersion of power.

Compared with the undercurrents and murderous intentions in Chang'an City, Yuzhen Temple is still full of singing and dancing.

But when Zhang Xuan walked into the flower hall wearing armor and holding a sword with a dozen sturdy guards, the banquet held by Princess Yuzhen for Yang Yuhuan had to be interrupted halfway.

Princess Yuzhen glanced at Zhang Xuan in surprise, seeing that he was dressed like a general, she couldn't help but wonder, "Zizhan, this is..."

Zhang Xuan bowed his hands to Yang Yuhuan and Yuzhen, "Your Majesty, please forgive Zhang Xuan for not being able to fully salute because of his armor."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xuan turned his head to look at Habayashi Wei Zuoro General Jia Yong who was sitting with him at the last seat, and cupped his hands, "General Jia Lang!"

Although Zhang Xuan is a popular person next to the prince and the godson-in-law of Princess Yuzhen, Jia Yong is also the upper-rank of the fifth rank, and because his subordinates have military power and are deeply trusted by Princess Yuzhen, they even surpass Yubayashi. General Wei's mansion is directly under the emperor's orders, so this Jia Yong is quite airy.

Jia Yong didn't get up, he just sat there and casually bowed his hands and said, "Master Zhang is dressed like this, which surprised me a lot. Could it be that Master Zhang has abandoned his literature and joined the army now?"

Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "I am the Crown Prince Zuo Zanshan, Doctor Zuo Zanshan, and the Crown Prince's relative General Yubayashi, who was conferred by His Majesty. I also have a military position, so why should I abandon my education and join the army?"

Jia Yong let out a groan, and smiled indifferently, thinking that even if he has a military position, so what, he is just a polished general, without a single soldier under his command, and his reputation as a general is nothing more than nothing.

Jia Yong's attitude was lukewarm, but Zhang Xuan didn't care about his attitude.But what he wanted was not Jia Yong's respect, but his soldiers.

Based on overall consideration, he felt that he had to control these 500 people.Although the number of these 500 forest guards is small, they are also a force that should not be underestimated, and they can play a key role at critical moments.
