——"Broken Array·Throwing the Ground Liu Lang Yudou" Xin Qiji (Song Dynasty)

……

Bai Fu's judgment was not wrong. Dr. Yinqing Guanglu and Siqi Wang Li Zhen were the leaders of this coup d'état.

Li Zhenyi, the king of Siqi, Guan Fengwei, was a member of the Zong Zhengqing, and had a good relationship with Zhu Rong, the general of Weizhou Town.Li Zhen's appearance is very similar to Xuanzong's, and she always prides herself on being extraordinary.

Zhu Rong, general of Weizhou Town, is a devout follower of Maitreya.

When Pope Maitreya and Zuo Yulin Zhonglang Liu Huan hinted to Zhu Rong that Su Zong's spirit was exhausted and Li Zhen's fate was on Li Zhen, Zhu Rong was overjoyed.

When Liu Huan cast the spell, Zhu Rong saw from the Xuantian mirror that Siqi King Li Zhen's head was full of purple air, which was exactly the appearance of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Because of his resemblance to Xuanzong, Siqi King Li Zhen has always regarded himself very highly, and he firmly believed in Liu Huan's bewitching words.From then on, he harbored ulterior motives and secretly made friends with his party members.

After several years of operation, Li Zhen's party has formed a force that cannot be underestimated in both the military and political circles, both inside and outside the government and the opposition. The core party members include: General Liu Congjian of the Right Yulin Army, General Dou Rubing of the Right Military Guard, and General Youwei Hu Lie, Youwu Guard Cao Canjun Jiao Zirong, Weizhou Township General Zhu Rong;
Zhisi Tiantai Tongxuan Yuan Gao Baosu, Guozijian Guangwen Jinshi Zhang Huan, Shidu Water Envoy Cui Chang;
Shi Chenhong, governor of King Chen (Li Gui), Zhang Ang, Sima of Chuzhou, and Li Qi (clan), the former head of Mei County in Fengxiang Prefecture...

In addition to the civil and military officials of the imperial court, even the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace also have the henchmen of Siqi King Li Zhen, such as Wang Daocheng, the inspector who served in the province; Zhao Feixiong, director of the Ministry of Industry, and others.

……

Back then, during Wu Zhao's reign, Li Tang's clan was massacred.As the sons of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan, the five brothers including Li Xian and Li Longji were precarious and extremely dangerous.

After Emperor Ruizong Li Dan was demoted to the heir of the emperor, Wu Zhao designated Li Xian as the emperor's grandson. On the same day, he sent his five brothers to the fief as vassal kings, opened a government office, and set up staff.

Just in case, Li Xian, who is proficient in temperament, created a set of rhythm codes to transmit information and exchange news with his brothers.

Not to be outdone, Li Fan created a set of calligraphy and painting codes to connect and correspond to Li Xian's rhythm code.

With the help of this combination code, the five brothers communicated with each other, pretended to be crazy, and were able to save their lives during Wu Zhao's reign.

After Li Longji ascended the throne, he eradicated Princess Taiping's party by means of thunder, opening a glorious page of the Tang Empire.In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, all nations came to court.

The world is stable, Li Xian and other four brothers become kings, and live a life of luxury and luxury.This set of rhythm, calligraphy and painting codes, which were only circulated among the five brothers, has been left unused since then.

It wasn't until Li Longji decided to launch a coup again that this long-sealed code never came to light again!
……

Li Zhen trembled all over after receiving "A Picture of Qingyuan Streams and Mountains", and couldn't tell whether it was excitement or nervousness.

Slightly different from the coup plans deduced by Bai Fu and Fang Shuliu, Xuanzong and Li Zhen's one-party strategy is more careful:

In the first step, Siqi Wang Li Zhen entered the Forbidden Garden under the support of General Liu Congjian of the Youbalin Army, and used the official office of the Youbalin Army as the main account of the Chinese army, waiting for an opportunity to control Jiuxianmen (the northwest gate of Daming Palace).

In the second step, Chen Xuanli, the general of the Zuolongwu Army, led his soldiers, together with Gao Lishi, through the Feilong Corridor, through the Chongxuan Gate, and entered the Xuanwu Gate, waiting for an opportunity to control the Xuanwu Gate (the north gate of Daming Palace).

In the third step, after obtaining the command of the Habayashi Army and the Longwu Army, Siqi King Li Zhen sat in the Nine Immortals Gate, and Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi sat in the Xuanwu Gate.

In the fourth step, Liu Huan, the general of Zuo Yulin Zhonglang, led his confidants to break into the Zuo Yulin Military Office at the Taihe Gate, beheaded Zuo Yulin General Guo Yingyi and others, and seized the command of Zuo Yulin Army.Then, enter the inner palace from Taihe Gate (the southeast gate of Daming Palace).

In the fifth step, Liu Congjian and Liu Huan led the Right Yulin Army and the Left Yulin Army respectively, divided into two groups, attacked the inner court from the northwest corner and the southeast corner, and joined in the Zichen Palace (the middle of the Daming Palace).

The reason why they attacked from two directions and launched a pincer-shaped offensive was that they supported each other and formed a siege to prevent Suzong and others from choosing a way to escape; Lu Dajun can act separately to avoid annihilation of the whole army.

In the sixth step, after Liu Congjian and Liu Huan sent the signal of a successful reunion, Siqi Wang Li Zhen led the forbidden army into the Daming Palace, fully controlled the situation in the palace, and hunted down Empress Zhang, Li Fuguo and their party members.

The seventh step is to close all the gates of the palaces and all the gates of the capital, and the Youwuwei General Dou Rufeng, the Youwei General Hu Lie, and the Youwu Guard Cao Canjun Jiao Zirong will divide troops to search and arrest Suzong's relatives, and completely eliminate the loyalty to Suzong in Chang'an City. power.

In the eighth step, Xuanzong returned to the Golden Luan Hall, announced it to the world, and sat on the dragon chair again.

After Xuanzong ascended the throne, Li Zhen, king of Siqi, was established as the crown prince.After Shi Siming's rebel army was wiped out, Xuanzong passed on the throne to Siqi Wang Li Zhen.

……

The east and west gates of Daming Palace are guarded by the Shenwu Army and the Habayashi Army in turn.

At the turn of spring and summer, the Beiya Forbidden Army is stationed in two shifts: every day from Maoshi to Youshi (Maoshi 5-7 o'clock, Youshi 17-19 o'clock) is guarded by the left and right Shenwu troops;

From Xu time to Yin time (Xu time 19-21 o'clock, Yin time 3-5 o'clock), the left and right Habayashi troops will be guarded.

As the north gate of Daming Palace, Xuanwu Gate was built on the remaining slope of Longshouyuan. The terrain is relatively high. Standing on the tower, you can overlook most of the palace city. Its importance is self-evident.

Since Emperor Taizong, the Longwu Army has been stationed here to guard the gate.

From Mao hour to You hour (Mao hour 5-7 o'clock, You hour 17-19 o'clock) is guarded by Youlongwu Army;

From Xu time to Yin time (Xu time 19-21 o'clock, Yin time 3-5 o'clock), the Zuolongwu army will be guarded.

……

Three days later, at Shen time (15-17 o'clock Shen time), the shadow of the sun slanted to the west.

General Liu Congjian of the Youbalin Army led dozens of Habayashi Army generals into the Youbalin Military Office, which is only a hundred steps away from the Nine Immortals Gate in the northwest corner of Daming Palace.

Different from the lazy Habayashi army in the past, this team walked vigorously, looked hurried and murderous.

The person walking beside the general Liu Congjian, with a majestic appearance and a burly figure, exuding a faint domineering arrogance, was none other than Siqi King Li Zhen.

The red sun was setting and the sun was setting, and the Youbayashi Army began to switch defenses with the Youshinwu Army.General Liu Congjian of You Yulin Army stepped out of the official office and led his soldiers into the Nine Immortals Gate.

As twilight falls, the moon hook appears, and the night is like a silk and satin covering the Daming Palace with double eaves on the ridge.

The Forbidden Garden to the north of the imperial palace was pitch black, and it was impossible to distinguish at a distance, only the towers of Jiuxian Gate and Xuanwu Gate were brightly lit.Under the radiance of the lights, the Xuanwu Gate looks even more splendid and resplendent.

At about one watch (19-21 o'clock in Xu time), a group of flying cavalry galloped out from Xuanwu Gate, passed through Jiacheng, and flew straight towards Jiuxian Gate.

Feiqi is Chen Xuanli's confidant general, and he secretly reported to Li Zhen and Liu Congjian: Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi, the generals of the Zuolongwu Army, passed through the Feilong corridor, passed through the Chongxuan Gate, entered the Xuanwu Gate, and have controlled the Xuanwu Gate. .

But Siqi Wang Li Zhen was not in a hurry to order.Because according to the plan, the time for launching the coup was set at Haishi, that is, when the second watch drum was beating (22-24 o'clock in Haishi).

At this time, most people in Daming Palace have fallen asleep, and it is the time when the deepest sleep is the most suitable for a sudden attack, catching the opponent by surprise.

The hourglass is ticking away bit by bit...

Chen Xuanli, Gao Lishi and others sat quietly in the tower of Xuanwu Gate, anxiously waiting for that moment to come.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the intermittent singing of crickets in the grass made the Daming Palace even more silent.

On the lotus leaves in the pond, several toads croaked recklessly, making the waiting soldiers extremely irritable.

Gao Lishi only felt that his chest was troubled, so he went to the top of the city tower and looked at the Daming Palace through the crenelated battlements.

The scorching heat wave of the day has subsided, the breeze is blowing, and the evening scent is fragrant, everything is so peaceful and quiet.

The scenery in front of me is so familiar, the neon clothes and feathers are lingering in my ears, as if it happened yesterday...

In the Daming Palace back then, Xuanzong and the imperial concubine did not go to bed so early.At this time, it was the climax of the palace banquet, joyous and peaceful, unprecedentedly grand:
Xuanzong played the jiegu, King Ning played the jade flute, the imperial concubine played the pipa, Ma Xianqi played Fangxiang, Li Guinian played the harp, Zhang Yehu played the harp, and He Huaizhi made the final decision.A "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", magnificent and shocking...

Li Bai's Kunlun's sorrow was in his throat, and he was in the waves, completely forgetting himself: "The clouds think about the clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the Revlon. If you don't see it on the top of the jade hills, you will meet at Yaotai under the moon." open……

Zhang Xu was so drunk that he started to write quickly, like a whirlwind in a shower, flying and turning, doing everything at his fingertips...

Wu Daozi drank several buckets, and when he got to the point of pleasure, he shook his clothes and swished the paper like a cloud of smoke.Draw a dragon on the temple, and it will be done in a second, if there is a god's help...

Pei Min danced his sword to add to the fun, outside the hall, Wuping, galloping like flying horses, turning left and right, throwing the sword into the clouds.It is tens of feet high, flying in the air, shooting down like lightning.At the end of the song, Pei Min held the sheath in his hand, and carried it in the air, and the sword penetrated into the sheath...

Yan Zhenqing immediately composed a poem for General Pei: "The great monarch ruled Liuhe, and the fierce general cleared Jiugai. War horses are like dragons and tigers, how strong they are. The general is facing the eight wastes, and he is brilliant. The sword dance is like electricity, and it is blown by the wind. Let’s go back. Ascend to look at the Tianshan Mountains, and the white clouds are in front of Cui Wei. Entering the battle will break the arrogant captives, and the reputation will shake the thunder. One shot will bring down a hundred horses, and then shoot ten thousand men. You can draw Lintai."

What a prosperous Tang Dynasty!
……

"Dong dong dong" the second watch drum sounded, awakening Gao Lishi from his memories.

Gao Lishi overlooked the downstairs, and saw hundreds of soldiers of the Longwu Army rushing out of the hiding cave...

Chen Xuanli drew his sword out of its sheath, his eyes suddenly shot a fiery light, and he shouted: "Kill!"
