Chapter 351 Breaking the East Palace
Taiji Palace, on the tower of Changlemen City.
In front of you is the Huangcheng Heng Street, a street parallel to the Taiji Palace and the East Palace. Qin Mubai took off his flat clothes under the service of two pawns and put them on. At this time, he had just coiled his hair and put on his helmet and put on the Kirin robe cloak.
Li Daozong cut his hands behind his back and stood beside him with a solemn expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast streets of Chang'an Lifang and rows of towering and glorious palaces, and said, "It's really an eventful autumn."
Qin Mubai handed over the sword of the emperor to the guard hundred horsemen beside him, hung up the Guiyi knife that Li Daozong gave him before, stepped forward and stood beside Li Daozong and said, "Your Majesty has been premeditated?"
Li Daozong did not answer, but said, "There are two things. I want to remind you."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"One, no matter who it is, don't kill it indiscrely." Li Daozong said, "Including Li Yuanchang."
"I know that." Qin Mubai nodded. This is not an ordinary and simple military mutiny, but an armed rebellion forced by the political | struggle to an irreconcilable extent. In the end, such a matter will be solved by political means. Killing alone will not solve the fundamental problem. Moreover, killing too many people at this time is not good for anyone.
Especially, Qin Mubai.
If this hand is stained with the blood of the royal family, no matter who it is, it is a stain and a hidden danger after all. Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian are already dogs that have fallen into the water. Sooner or later, they will die. Qin Mubai was also very calm. Why did he suffer from pretending to be a hero at this time and beat the drumping dog in front of the dog's owner?
Let it be in the political torrent and drown alive.
"Second, there is someone you should pay special attention to." Li Daozong said.
"Who?"
"The city gate man stationed in the southern government, the nine-door guard, Changsun Huan." Li Daozong spoke in a low voice, but his expression was very serious. He said, "Originally, he should have been with the prince and Li Yuanchang. However, in recent days, perhaps the eldest grandson Wuji has found that he almost tied up the eldest grandson, isolated him from the prince and others, and ordered him not to get too close to the prince and others. However, at this moment, Changsun is still stationed at the nine gates of Chang'an. If he responds to Li Yuanchang's mutiny at this time and closes the nine gates of Chang'an, we will all be turtles in the urn.
Qin Mubai's heart tightened, frowned for a while, and said, "Since the prince had expected it, he should have been prepared for it."
Li Daozong pondered for a moment and said, "Don't ask about these. Although Changsun is the son of Changsun Wuji, at this time, it is a matter of life and death, and it is normal for father and son to fight. Therefore, you must be careful. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If Changsun Fu jumps over the wall and closes the nine gates of Chang'an in response to Li Yuanchang's rebellion, it must be a disaster for the whole Chang'an!"
After listening to this, Qin Mubai nodded quietly and said nothing.
Although Li Daozong's words were scary enough, Qin Mubai was not stupid at all. He was as smart as Li Daozong, and he gave it to him with the emperor's sword. Obviously, all this was planned by the "sleeping" Li Shimin.
The reason why Li Daozong hasn't touched Changsun Feng at all now is that it is for the face of Changsun Wuji. In other words, it was Li Shimin who had a special advice for the face of Changsun Wuji.
Of course, on the other hand, Li Shimin and Li Daozong are both old and safe politicians. They will not regard the safety of Chang'an and the empire as less than someone's face. It is not difficult to imagine that they must have been prepared. Even if Changsun Xun finds his own way to die and follows Li Yuanchang to jump into the fire and plots against the fire, it is still a dead end.
The loach in the gutter can't turn over in front of the two old dragon kings, Li Shimin and Li Daozong.
In the Changle Gate, the soldiers and horses of the guards are gathering and mobilizing nervously. It must not take long before the rectification can be completed. Whether it's Li Yuanchang who kills to die, or Qin Mubai who leads the army into the East Palace to capture the thief and capture the king. At most, it only takes one hour, and all the dust is settled.
At this time, the three women walked to the gate and walked among a group of men in golden armor and red robes.
"Is it you?" Qin Mubai looked sideways at them. It was Su Lianqing and the Taitai sisters, so he said to them, "What are you doing here?"
"I've met General Qin." There were many people present, and Su Lianqing did not dare to lose his courtesy. The three women saluted together and said, "The three of us are employed by the general. The past has been over. Now, of course, we can only return to the general and listen to the waiting."
"Go home and protect my family." Qin Mubai said.
"The imperial city has been closed, and I can't get out at this time." Su Lianqing said.
"Well, follow me for the time being." Qin Mubai raised his hand and said, "Thou them the blade."
"The two sisters use swords, and I use the blade." Su Lianqing still smiled with a hippie smile.
Qin Mubai stared at her: "In the imperial city, in the army, Zhuang key points!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Su Lianqing straightened his face, learned from the appearance of those soldiers, and stood straight. If the soldiers can't help laughing, they can't help laughing.
At this time, a horseman ran from the horizontal street, stopped in front of Changle Gate, and shouted to the upstairs, "Lord, General Qin!" There is something strange in the Rosefinch Gate!"
"What's the matter?" Qin Mubai asked, "Is it the rebels who killed it?"
"No." The pawn replied loudly, "It's Li Yaoshi, the Duke of Wei, and Su Dingfang, the general of Zhonglang. The two of them held a chessboard and sat down in front of the closed rosefinch door to play the game. I didn't dare to ask too much, and the Duke of Wei didn't say much. He just sat there and played chess, attracting many people from Chang'an.
"Oh?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised and funny, "My old teacher, what does this mean? Does he want to sit there and scare off the rebels?
"Who said no?" Li Daozong smiled and said half jokingly and half seriously, "If you hear that the military god Li Yaoshi is blocking in front of the rosefinch door, will he still dare to rebel against the rebellion? That's not a desperate life! No matter how tightly he closes the gate of Chang'an and how many soldiers and horses he brings, when those people see Li Yaoshi, they don't recognize his eldest grandson in an instant. On the contrary, they will cut his eldest grandson as meat mud and give it to the Duke of Wei as a gift.
"Who is it, Li Jing?" Su Lianqing said in surprise, "Is this old man so powerful?"
"You're tired of living!" Qin Mubai shouted, "How dare you disrespect my teacher?"
Su Lianqing spit out her tongue in surprise. The Tantai sisters hurriedly pulled her back and whispered, "Sister Su, this kind of occasion is no better than usual. You can live one more moment by saying one word less. Just think about it yourself!"
"Don't worry about the Duke of Wei. Open the gate of Suzaku City and evacuate the crowd to serve tea. Qin Mubai issued an order to the pawn downstairs, "The Duke of Wei and Su Dingfang will play chess for the next moment. You just wait for a moment. Don't make a mistake!"
"Yes!"
"Ha ha!" Li Daozong laughed cheerfully and said, "I still have these old bones of the founding of the country in the Tang Dynasty that have not been finished, and the descendants of a father and a rising star like you can be a pillar. How can those jumping clowns turn over the sky? Poor prince, ridiculous Li Yuanchang, hey..."
"The prince, the general, the hundred cavalry and horses have been assembled, please order!" Cheng Huaibi, the deputy envoy of Baiqi, came forward to report.
Li Daozong still cut his hands behind his back and pouted to Qin Mubai: "Go! Things always need to be solved. Just block Li Yuanchang in the East Palace. It's better to do it first. If it can reduce the disaster by one point, it will be counted as one point.
"Okay, Qin went first." Qin Mubai arched his hand to Li Daozong and ordered Cheng Huaibi to stay here to guard the palace gate. He took Su Lianqing's three daughters downstairs and rode on the war horse.
Guiyi's knife came out of the sheath, and Qin Mubai waved the knife and shouted: "A hundred riders obey the order! Target, Donggong! Capture Li Yuanchang alive and pact the chaotic party! Those who surrender will avoid death, and those who resist will be killed!"
"No!"
Three hundred riders, majestic and majestic.
Above the tower, Li Daozong frowned and sighed, "Three hundred riders, no less than 30,000 lions!" How many rebels are there in Rauna East Palace? At most, there are two or three thousand people in the East Palace. Although it is several times more than Qin Mubai, it will be vulnerable!"
At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the training gate in the west in the distance, and the battle began.
"Li Yuanchang, he really stubbornly resists and doesn't know death. He really dares to take the lead." Li Daozong gritted his teeth and shouted at the downstairs of the city, "Mu Bai, hit the front and back of the bottom of the pot, and hit the East Palace directly!"
"Yes!" Qin Mubai shouted, "Baiqi, come with me!"
The gate of Changle Palace was opened, the iron horse galloped, and Qin Mubai galloped out. Behind him, 300 riders followed closely. The iron hooves stepped on the brick road of the imperial city, making a sonorous sound.
Li Daozong squinted his eyes and looked at the soldiers at the two gates of the city. He listened to the sound of people shouting Ma's fight, and said with emotion, "Thanks to Taizi Chengqian, there was a trace of conscience at the last moment, and he took the initiative to tell the detailed steps of his conspiracy to rebel against the party with Li Yuanchang. At this point, he picked up a life for himself. Well, his prince is the end. How to spend the next half of your life?
Cheng Huaibi next to him said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the last general feels that the prince may not be really bad. What's really bad is Li Yuanchang! Many bad things were done by the prince under the deception and instigation of Li Yuanchang. Previously, the prince was also a benevolent and capable crown prince. It was only after hanging out with Li Yuanchang for a long time that it gradually became like this. Li Yuanchang should be killed!"
After listening to it, Li Daozong didn't say anything for a long time. He sighed and said, "Have you ever thought about why Li Yuanchang didn't harm other princes?" His body is upright, and he doesn't obey; his body is not upright, although he doesn't obey. On the other hand, if the prince hadn't lost his virtue and credibility first, how would Li Yuanchang dare to pull him into the water? The so-called smell is similar, and the flies do not stare at the seamless eggs.
"Oh, that's right..." Cheng Huaibi also shook his head and sighed.
"However, Prince Chengqian is indeed not a great evil person. The reason why he has come to this day is mostly forced. When Li Daozong said this, he quietly stopped and didn't go on.
Cheng Huaibi didn't dare to ask again.
Do you still have to ask, who forced you to do it?
Half is the emperor and the other is the king of Wei. Everyone knows this. As the crown prince of the country, his eldest son, Li Chengqian, has a long way to go. From his birth, he shouldered the mission and burden entrusted to him by the royal family and the empire. His childhood, adolescence and youth all passed under such pressure.
In addition, he also has an extremely strong and excellent father. Every moment, people can't help comparing him with his father.
Under the reputation, it is actually difficult to match.
Li Chengqian, who grew up in this environment, will only go to extremes. Either very wise and excellent, or genius will also degenerate into waste under pressure.
Li Chengqian turned the latter into a thing.
He is a tragedy. Maybe he has been doomed to such a fate since he was born. As Cheng Huaibi said, Li Chengqian in the past was also very excellent and excellent. However, as he grew older, the pressure increased day by day, and with the stubbornness of the fourth king of Wei, he finally couldn't stand the heavy pressure. He began to go to the extreme and decadence of the sword. He broke the jar and went to this extreme.
Li Yuanchang is just a "help" for him to go to extinction, and it is not a decisive factor.
Many people know these things. But Li Chengqian may not think clearly.
So in today's court, only half-sized Li Zhi shed tears because of Li Chengqian; Changsun Wuji mourned his misfortune and anger, and Li Daozong's scolding also carried half of pity and sympathy.
And Li Shimin, who had been hiding in the ward, did not want to face up and saw such a situation with his own eyes. Why didn't he cut his heart like a knife?
......
Qin Mubai raised his knife and went straight to the Chongming Gate of the East Palace.
The gate of Chongming Gate unexpectedly opened, and a soldier rushed out of the inside.
Qin Mubai recognized the leading general. Zuo Tunwei Zhonglang, Li Anyan, once briefly took office in Baiqi. Later, he was transferred out of the unbearable appointment and settled in Zuo Tunwei. This matter was handled by Qin Mubai himself. It is not difficult to imagine that Li Anyan hated Qin Mubai at that time. Today, as a general of Zuotun Wei Zhonglang, he rebelled against Li Yuanchang. The first one he met was Qin Mubai, his former enemy, who was particularly jealous.
"Kill!" Li Anyan is a solid battlefield general. If not, he will not be transferred to Baiqi. He didn't say hello. He roared and stabbed Qin Mubai in the face.
Qin Mubai narrowed his eyes, and his long-moving skills were still vigorous and fierce. He cut Li Anyan's stabbing gun head-on, and stepped out of his waist and ribs when he passed by.
In such an electric moment, the judgment is made!
Li An was hit by a kick and fell down unsteadily on the fast-running horse. The follow-up hundred cavalry shot him through his throat. The gun was pulled out quickly without blood. Li Anyan's eyes stared to the size of a copper bell, watching countless horseshoes step on him, his eyes burst, and his body was instantly blurred.
The main general was killed, and the rebels in the East Palace suddenly lost their souls. Originally, they were not elite teachers. These soldiers and horses are at most only the honor guard of the prince's driving, and few people have really been to the battlefield and have seen blood. Facing the hundred cavalry troops of the king of the soldiers, it is no different from a group of lambs facing the hungry tigers down the mountain.
Qin Mubai led hundreds of riders, like a broken bamboo into the realm of no man!
In a blink of an eye, the Chongming Gate was broken, and the corpses along the way flowed into a river. More than a hundred corpses had been added to the ground, and none of them were horses.
The rebels in the East Palace lost their soul and had no intention of fighting, and fled around as birds and beasts.
Qin Mubai led his army into the East Palace until he was in front of the Mingde Hall of the main hall of the East Palace, and never encountered any strong resistance. He left dozens of people to search for the rebels in the palace, and then personally led the rest of the people to the training gate at the junction of the East Palace and the Taiji Palace.
There are a lot of soldiers and horses here.
Just now, Li Anyan led about seven or eight hundred soldiers and horses out of the Mingzhong Gate, intending to attack the Changle Gate and respond to the Tongxun Gate. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Qin Mubai, the big evil star, and was killed in an instant. The soldiers who responded and responded all the way were defeated, and the rebels in the East Palace here in Tongxunmen became turtles in the urn.
The rebel general of Tongxunmen is Li Yuanchang, the king of Han.
He is just a play boy. Not to mention killing the enemy, he has never personally done anything about the blood splashed from the knife head. At present, Li Yuanchang was frightened to see that Donggong Liu led the soldiers and horses who attacked the Mingxunmen, and were killed and injured under the attack of the imperial army, which was struggling to defend the city.
Suddenly, he heard a shout of killing behind him. An iron horse rushed like a torrent of steel. Li Yuanchang was so scared that he almost fell to the ground from the horse and exclaimed loudly, "Who, whose soldier and horse is that!"
"Your Majesty, that's a hundred horses! Hundreds of riders!"
"What, Baiqi?!" Li Yuanchang's eyes suddenly cracked!
The power and power of Baiqi is one reason that makes people afraid, and another reason is precisely because... Since the emperor's personal guard Baiqi has come to participate in the war, it shows that the emperor is suppressing this rebellion!
"It's over, it's over... Li Shimin, a treacherous villain, must cheat!" Li Yuanchang's face was white and trembling all over, and his eyes were straight.
"King, my lord! It's Qin Mubai, the hundred riders led by Qin Mubai!" The six generals of the East Palace beside him shouted in horror.
"Who he is, kill him, kill him! Go up and kill him!" Li Yuanchang was about to collapse in despair. Evil came from his courage, but he was not afraid. He actually pulled out the knife and danced like crazy, making the generals around him rush back against Qin Mubai and Baiqi.
The generals of the East Palace relied on the large number of people. As soon as they gritted their teeth, they really roared and rushed over.
Qin Mubai shouted, "Fly capture the thief and capture the king!"
The hand raised the knife fell, and a population flew up to the sky. The horse's voice was long, and the blood spewed like a pillar!
"Give it to me!" With a coquettish rebuke, Su Lianqing flew up from the mount like a demon ghost, stepping on the mount and armor of the hundred horses and the rebels, and ran to Li Yuanchang.
"The witch! It's really you!" Li Yuanchang shouted angrily and anxiously, and the horizontal knife in his hand flew around.
"Thieves, still not bound!" Su Lianqing turned over and jumped up like nothing in the air, and sprinkled a large group of fragrant powder on Li Yuanchang's face.
Li Yuanchang suddenly became like a singer with a eclipse on his face. He didn't struggle to turn over and get off the horse and fall to the ground.
At this time, the rebels around Li Yuanchang reacted and rushed up to rob Li Yuanchang to kill Su Lianqing.
Su Lianqing shouted, "Oh, it's not good. I'm going to finish it!"
Just run away and jump around!
Qin Mubai fought in the battle. From afar, he saw Su Lianqing being chased and killed by a group of soldiers crazily. He was angry and funny. He shouted and rushed forward, killed a bloody road in the enemy, and shouted, "Sisters, save her!"
"Yes!" The two sisters listened to the order and got up from the horse. Two swords made the whole body cold light, and with the tacit cooperation between the twins, they quickly killed a road in the chaos and rescued Su Lianqing from the siege.
Li Yuanchang was sprayed with ecze on his face, and the left and right generals patted his face and couldn't wake up, and they complained one after another.
At this time, the door of Tongxun Gate suddenly opened, and a soldier and horse were killed fiercely. The first general was another Baiqi deputy envoy, Yu Chi Baoyun. He rode a big black horse with the same iron whip as his father, and his tall and majestic body was extremely eye-catching. A horse is the first to enter the enemy, like a tiger entering a sheep.
Immediately after him was a team of hundred riders and nearly a thousand Jinwuwei Yulin army.
The front and back attack was full of momentum, Li Yuanchang's defeated army was defeated like a mountain, and there was no suspense in the battle.
An hour later, the shouts that shook Chang'an returned to tranquility.
There is a strong smell of blood in the East Palace, and corpses can be seen everywhere. Many officials of the East Palace and eunuchs of the palace and others were circled together and taken care of by Baiqi. They were all like cicadas, and sometimes someone cried in panic.
Qin Mubai rode a horse and slowly walked between the soldiers and the corpses of the prisoners. The Xingtai sisters came over together and bowed and said, "General, our sisters captured Li Yuanchang. He was unconscious, but there was no scar on his body. Although our sisters hated this thief, they didn't get the general's order and didn't touch him at all.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work." Qin Mubai blinked his eyes and looked around and asked, "Where's Su Lianqing?"
The two sisters couldn't help laughing and whispered, "Sister Su shouted for a while and hid on the roof of the Mingde Hall to cool down."
"How can it be?" Qin Mubai was so happy that he couldn't laugh or cry. He shouted in a low voice, "Call her down, or kill her head!"
The two sisters left in a hurry. Yu Chi Baoyun patted his horse and bowed his hand and said, "General Qin, it's all over. The last general will send people to count the battlefield. Li Yuanchang, the thief chieftain, was captured alive and let General Qin fall.
"Good. Brother Lao Yuchi will take care of the things here. Li Yuanchang, give it to Ben and take it back. Qin Mubai said.
Yu Chi Baoyun held a fist and raised his hand. The pawn brought a horse over. Li Yuanchang, who was in a coma, was tied tightly and pressed on the saddle like a sack.
Qin Mubai glanced at him, called several confidant Baiqi to accompany him to escort Li Yuanchang and entered the Taiji Palace from the Tongxun Gate. At this time, Su Lianqing and other three women also followed. The group avoided many soldiers' ears and eyes and turned into a secluded palace alley.
"Su Lianqing, how did you wake him up?" Qin Mubai asked.
Su Lianqing smiled and said, "It's simple. Drench him with a large bucket of water and pour him to drink a lot of water. You can wake up in less than an hour."
"Is there anything faster?"
"Give him a pee." Su Lianqing crossed her hands to her chest and smiled evilly.
Everyone laughed, but Qin Mubai did not smile, but said with a straight face, "In the future, I will only say good ways, and the bad way of wasting time will be mentioned - what are you waiting for?"
Those hundred-rider soldiers turned their faces and muttered, "General, I just killed each other for a while, but I sweated and peed. I really didn't."
"If you don't have it, you have to have it. Don't talk nonsense." Qin Mubai shouted, "Drag him to the quiet place and wake him up. Otherwise, it won't be fun at all.
"Yes..." The pawns had to agree, lifted Li Yuanchang to a quiet place, and whispered and argued.
"Do it. Haven't you been angry recently?"
"Bah! Yours is still a boy's pee! You go!"
"I didn't have it!"
"The general didn't say it, if you don't have it, you have to have it! You don't need a woman or pee. What's the use of that? This little thing can't be done. Forget it!"
