Tiantang

Chapter 107
Chapter 115

Li Wan's face suddenly became so ferocious and terrifying that everyone present was so frightened that they didn't dare to fart.

From Li Wan's body, Prince Sheng Li Qi and Princess Xianyi, the prince's children, seem to have seen the shadow of their father Li Longji back then, domineering, authoritarian, cruel, ruthless, decisive, and never procrastinating.

Li Wan raised his head slowly, and suddenly smiled softly, but the smile was very cold.

"Everyone, our uprising is about to start early."

Li Wan's gloomy voice echoed in the hall, Li Qi trembled in his heart, lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and became short of breath.

"It's not too late, it will be launched on time at noon today."

Li Wan smiled coldly, and said sharply, "Huo Qing!"

"The last general is here." Huo Qing was already ready, Nuo Ran responded, bowed and saluted, waiting for Li Wan to issue orders.

Among these people, perhaps Huo Qing is Li Wan's real confidant.Both Li Qi and Princess Xianyi felt a little confused. Huo Qing was in charge of the Yulin Guard and had always been the emperor's confidant. When did he join Li Wan's family, and he was so determined... This shows Li Wan's methods.

"Huo Qing, you immediately send troops to block the gates of Chang'an City. The gates are closed, and officials, businessmen, and common people are not allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed without mercy!"

"At the same time, you bring 2000 feather guards with you to control the imperial city, palace city, and the north of Xuanwu Gate, all of which will be sealed off. All the government offices in the imperial city will be immediately sealed. The king is a great event for the prince."

"Regardless of the royal family, courtiers, regardless of official rank, anyone who does not obey the king's orders will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, the general will be ordered." Huo Qing replied generously, and then walked away proudly with a sword in hand.

"Brother Sheng, you should hurry to Daming Palace and help me persuade those stubborn things. If I don't succeed this time, I will be benevolent. Anyone who blocks my progress will be killed without mercy!"

Li Wan said several cold words of "kill without pardon", Sheng Wang Li Qi trembled, stood up trembling and said with trembling hands, "Yes, my brother obeys."

Li Qi and others left in a hurry.

Li Wan turned his head to look at Pei Dunfu, Xue Dewang and the others, waved his hands calmly and said, "Lord Pei, I have something to ask."

Pei Dunfu hurriedly cupped his hands and said in a respectful voice, "Your Highness, please order, I dare not refuse."

Li Wan twisted his somewhat stiff neck in satisfaction, and smiled slightly, "Lord Pei, please take 500 forest guards and surround Yang Guozhong's mansion with this king, don't let one go! Capture Yang Guozhong alive, this king still has big use."

"Yes." Pei Dunfu hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Your Highness, what about the other members of the Yang family?"

"The king of Chang'an City has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and even an ant can't escape. Except for Yang Guozhong, the people of the Yang family should not be taken into account, so let's ignore it for now." A confident and cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Wan's mouth, " This king's handling of these lackeys of the Yang family is like crushing an ant."

"Gao Shuai, you and I followed the king to raise 6000 troops, entered from the East City, and surrounded the Xingqing Palace. The banner was raised, and the king wanted to punish traitors, the side of the Qing emperor, and the abolition of the prince."

Gao Xianzhi's heart trembled, and he bowed and replied, "Here. The general will obey orders."

"Gao Shuai is a talented general in the world. This king will rely on Gao Shuai a lot when he ascends the throne in the future. You and my monarch and ministers are of the same mind, so why worry about the world being under your control!" Li Wan patted Gao Xianzhi on the shoulder lightly, " Everyone, act with this king!"

……

……

The cold wind howled in Chang'an City, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and it was a mess.

There was a mutiny.King Rong turned his back.Datang is about to change.

People, merchants, and bureaucrats rushed to tell each other, and they all hid at home and dared not go out, for fear of becoming innocent pond fish that would be caught in a fire at the city gate.

The guards under Huo Qing's bid ran like tigers and wolves in the city of Chang'an, sweeping away all obstacles against King Rong Li Wan. The gates of Chang'an City were closed tightly. The bloody and cold side.

But outside the city, everything was calm and calm.

On the official road leading to Lishan Mountain outside Yuzhen Temple, a hundred feathered forest guard cavalry and a hundred palace forbidden guards lined up on both sides, with bows and horses ready, swords shining, and ready to go.

Yang Yuhuan, Princess Yuzhen and others came out slowly, and the person who sent them off was none other than Zhang Xuan.

It was noon, but the sky was cloudy, and the sky and the earth were dark.It was just a cold wind blowing all morning, and it gradually died down.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Zhang Xuan with some concern, but he couldn't utter a word even though he had a thousand words in his stomach.And in front of everyone, she had no choice but to hold back the high airs and reservedness of the imperial concubine, and could only express her inner anxiety with eye contact.

Princess Yuzhen sighed, looked forward for a while, then stared back at the direction of Chang'an City, and said softly, "Zizhan, the gate of Chang'an City is closed... Maybe King Rong has already started to move. Ru Su Go back quickly, the safety of the emperor and the crown prince is in your hands..."

Zhang Xuan also turned his head and stared in the direction of Chang'an City, and smiled indifferently, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Zhang Xuan will definitely do his best to go through fire and water!"

"Zhang Xuan is not here, please Your Highness lead the crowd to close the door and wait in full force. If—"

Before Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Yu Zhen waved his hand a little bit indignantly, "I forgive that King Rong dare not come to this palace to play wild! If he comes to persecute me, I will rather smash the jade than keep the tiles intact." !"

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else.

A beautiful shadow came in a hurry, passing through the crowd and rushing towards Zhang Xuan, with a slight trembling in her gentle voice: "Husband!"

"Yinger!" Zhang Xuan wanted to open his arms and hug Cui Yinglai goodbye, but the armor on his body was too heavy and it was not convenient to move around.

……

……

Zhang Xuan bid farewell to the crowd and got on his horse. Next to him was Xiao Shisanlang who was riding lightly on the white horse.Zhang Xuan originally wanted to keep Shisanlang Xiao in Yuzhen Temple to protect everyone, but on second thought, he needed more attention from Shisanlang Xiao for his actions, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to let Shisanlang follow him.

And Yuzhen originally prepared a carriage for Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan thought that troubled times were approaching, and if he couldn't adapt to this life of galloping and riding, there would be something wrong in the future, so he gritted his teeth and rejected Yuzhen's kindness, insisting on horse riding.

Since Li Jingzhong, a frail eunuch, can gallop on horseback, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Xuan.

"Everyone, let's go!" Zhang Xuan raised his sword high on the horse and pointed forward.

"promise!"

One hundred murderous Habayashi Guards and one hundred sturdy Palace Guards took the order, roared loudly, clamped their horses' bellies one after another, and galloped forward, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Zhang Xuan silently turned his head and stared at the dark shadow of Chang'an city again, feeling a little emotional in his heart.At this point in time, the situation has gradually exceeded his control as a traverser. All he can do is adapt to the situation to protect himself in the chaos, and try to push the situation in a direction that is beneficial to him.

At this moment, he was a little worried about Third Sister Yang's mother and son in the city.But something happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to bring Sanjie Yang's mother and son out of the city, so he could only silently pray that they were all well.

"Brother, let's go." Xiao Shisanlang smiled lightly, "Don't worry, you have brother by your side... The worst thing is, brother protects you to leave Chang'an, hide in the mountains and forests, and wait for the opportunity to recover. It is also feasible."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly at Xiao Shisanlang, a resolute smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He waved his sword, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch galloped away like an arrow leaving the string.

Xiao Shisanlang was startled, shook his head and followed after him.He felt a little surprised that his brother was originally a frail scholar, but within two days of contact with the army, a chilling and stern aura began to grow in his body.

At this time, all the government offices in the imperial city, such as Sisifang, have been controlled and closed by the Habayashi guards under Huo Qing, and all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, except for King Rong's party, have been "drive out" by the Habayashi guards The main hall of Daming Palace was imprisoned and accepted the "teaching" of Sheng Wang Li Qi, asking them to collectively write a letter, asking the emperor to abolish the crown prince, punish traitors, and Qing emperors, and change King Rong as the heir.

Meanwhile, King Rong Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi personally led thousands of forest guards into the outskirts of Xingqing Palace, and surrounded the Xingqing Palace where the emperor lived in the shortest possible time.However, the palace gate was not attacked.

Although the walls of Xingqing Palace are high and deep, if thousands of soldiers and horses try their best to attack and kill them, they will not be able to hold on.What's more, there are only more than a thousand forbidden palace guards in the palace for the emperor to drive, and they can't resist if they want to.

On the square in front of the main gate of Xingqing Palace, the dark habayashi guards stood silently with their guns.

Rong Wang Li Wan put on a brand-new royal costume, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, holding a flowing gold whip, straddling his horse vigorously, looking at the beige cornices of the Xingqing Palace in the distance.

"Gao Shuai, has this king's letter ever been sent to the palace?" Li Wan turned around and asked with a calm smile.

"I have already ordered people to shoot arrows into the palace, I think His Majesty has already heard about it." Gao Xianzhi respectfully lowered her voice.

Li Wan nodded, and was about to say something, when Pei Dunfu came up on his horse suddenly, panting and anxiously said, "Your Highness, I am ashamed to have humiliated my mission!"

Li Wan frowned, "How?"

"Your Highness, I led people to besiege the Yang Mansion, but the Yang Mansion was already empty. It is said that Yang Guozhong had gathered hundreds of house slaves and retreated into Xingqing Palace with his family members ahead of time..." Pei Dunfu replied with a wry smile.

Li Wan smiled in surprise, "Oh? There is such a thing? Well, Mr. Pei, don't take it to heart. Yang Guozhong hid in the Xingqing Palace, and this king happened to catch a turtle in the urn together. How can you be afraid that he will fly to the sky?"

While Li Wan was talking, he suddenly heard a lot of commotion from the guards of the Habayashi forest behind him, frowning, but he heard Gao Xianzhi next to him raised his hand and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has climbed up to the gate tower of the palace."

Li Wan raised his head suddenly, and saw Li Longji in a dragon robe, standing high above the palace gate, facing the wind.Standing beside him are Prince Li Heng, Yang Guozhong, and Gao Lishi.

The distance was not too far, and Li Wan could even clearly recognize the old and angry and distorted expression on Li Longji's face.
