Great Tang princess

Chapter 790 Action

Hearing Li Xian's question, Wu Sansi began to ponder in his mind whether to tell the truth or not.

But this is related to the question of whether to help him in the end.

Li Xian was right, if it was just to mobilize a battalion, there was no need for a military talisman, nor did the Minister of the Ministry of War need to sign and seal it. This was indeed within the purview of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

But the problem is that there are only about 500 people in a battalion. If you want to use this number of people to launch a coup, do you really think that the inner guards are all just eating?
Today's Qianniuwei, as the most elite army of the Great Zhou, has a total of three parts.

They are dark guards, internal guards and powerful guards.

The prestige guards have the largest number and are mainly responsible for foreign wars; the dark guards are in charge of intelligence and national security, and have the right to investigate and interrogate anyone; and the internal guards are responsible for the personal protection of the imperial palace and all members of the royal family.

Now the troops patrolling and defending the imperial city, as well as many maids in the palace, belong to the inner guards.

And among them, the number of court ladies who are responsible for personal protection of the emperor has reached a company.

The most terrifying thing is that the number of shotguns in this company exactly matches the number of people, one for each!
Not to mention other weapons such as grenades, it is simply impossible to control the palace and hijack the emperor with only 500 people!

Wu Sansi slowly told what he knew, not daring to hide anything at all.

At the same time, his voice was kept very low, for fear that Li Xian, who was opposite him, would shoot him suddenly.

During his explanation, Li Xian didn't show any expression, just sat there and listened to him quietly.

At the same time, he seemingly casually took a piece of silk and kept wiping the body of the gun, as if he didn't care what he said.

"So...the subordinates think...His Royal Highness can't succeed with only 500 people..." Wu Sansi said cautiously.

Even his voice trembled a little, for fear of irritating him.

After all, it's time to propose a coup d'etat. People at this stage are often extremely crazy.

Wu Sansi didn't want to die under Li Xian's gun for no apparent reason.

"Neiwei, you don't have to worry." After hearing what he said, Li Xian still wiped the gun with silk, and said while wiping, "Since Gu proposed to use 500 people to solve this problem, the inner guard naturally has other ways..."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Sansi was slightly taken aback, and then thought of a possibility.

Now the dark guard is in charge of the crown princess, and this is the most mysterious department.

Except for the commander of the secret guards, only the emperor himself and the Minister of the Ministry of War have the right to view the list of personnel.

With the ability of the hidden guard, it is not impossible to infiltrate the inner guard.

After all, these two institutions come from the same school, so to speak, they are related to the same school, and it is perfectly normal for them to be able to hook up.

If there was help from the hidden guards, it would be quite normal for the prince to propose a coup d'état today.

After all, the emperor is seriously ill now, and he doesn't see anyone every day.

Under such circumstances, with the help of the princess, the commander of the hidden guards, it is not impossible to quietly control the inner guards.

Thinking of this, Wu Sansi felt that this favor could still be done.

After all, under the current circumstances, the chances of the prince's coup succeeding are obviously much higher.

As long as it succeeds, it is the merit of the dragon, and there is no need to worry about being liquidated in the future. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he can still occupy a high position.

Anyway, the emperor is indeed old now, coupled with his serious illness, if he takes this opportunity to stand in line, it is indeed a good choice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, can you really let the inner guard not interfere?"

"Since this matter has been brought up, it means that Gu is willing to go all out, how can he do something he is not sure about?" Li Xian asked back.

Seeing his confident face, Wu Sansi felt a little relieved.

That's right, after all, this is a matter of losing one's head, and the prince would not dare to do it lightly without certainty.

"Since this is the case, thanks to Your Highness, I am willing to do my best for His Highness!" Wu Sansi replied with a respectful salute.

"Oh, what a waste of time, it would be great if my cousin could help!" Li Xian put down the shotgun in his hand with a smile, got up with a smile, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he opened the door and asked Sun Jingbang to come in and make him a cup of tea, so we can have a good chat today.

Now that he decided to join, Wu Sansi naturally wanted to ask some details.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Princess will definitely not like this private mobilization of soldiers to take part in the operation. When the time comes..." Wu Sansi asked pretending to be hesitant.

"Don't worry! When Yuechen comes back, go and explain to her alone." Li Xian patted his chest and said it was okay.

With these words, Wu Sansi was completely relieved.

Princess Taiping has always disliked the military's participation in government affairs, and she talks about performing her duties all day long.

Not to mention that this time it was not a matter of the government at all, but a coup d'état.

So after this matter is over, it is absolutely impossible for him to stay in the Ministry of War.

Naturally, Li Xian had discussed this with Li Yuechen in advance, and had already prepared corresponding countermeasures.

"Cousin, to be honest, there is no time to plan this operation slowly, it must be done quickly."

"Dare to ask Your Highness, why are you so eager?"

Li Xian shook his head lightly: "Today Zhang Wulang came to deliver the sage's oral order that he will dismiss the post of commander of the princess's secret guard and let him take over..."

"Ah? This..." Wu Sansi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think in his mind, is his aunt mentally ill?

The commander of the hidden guards does not let his family take up such an important position, but has to hand it over to outsiders?

What's more, is Zhang Goro a human being?That's just a pet.

It seems that he is seriously ill, and his brain is starting to go wrong, right?

At this moment Wu Sansi felt that it was the right choice for him to help the prince, otherwise if this continues, who knows what kind of madness the emperor will have.

So Wu Sansi immediately asked for a pen and paper, wrote an order to mobilize a battalion, signed and stamped it and handed it to Li Xian.

With this order, a battalion of soldiers can be mobilized.

Of course, the team that had to be mobilized was the team of the two Li Chengqi brothers. As for the reason, it was a military exercise.

After handing over this order to Li Xian, Wu Sansi couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

This means that he has no room for repentance, and can only go one way to the dark.

Li Xian chatted with him for a while with a smile on his face, and then sent him out of the East Palace himself.

Then he sent a letter to Shangguan Wan'er non-stop.

Because the emperor is now pretending to be sick and seeing no one, the only middleman who can be contacted is Shangguan Wan'er.

Although the emperor didn't even see her during this period of time, but after all, she is a member of Fengge She, so it doesn't matter if he sees her once in a while.

What's more, they have reached this point, and there is no chance for them to think carefully.

That night, Li Xian called his second brother Li Xian and Li Chengqi to the East Palace, and began to agree on a plan.

"Are the previous condemned prisoners ready?" Li Xian asked.

"Don't worry, uncle! It was secretly transported to the palace a few days ago, and temporarily placed in Yeting, where the inner guards will imprison him."

The emperor's personal bodyguards all knew about this plan, so this plan also had their cooperation.

"Well, if there is no problem, let's act tomorrow night." Li Xian nodded.

"Tomorrow night?" Li Xian raised his head, "Are you in a hurry?"

"I just need to be in a hurry, and I can't give them time to react!" Li Xian said, "After the dust settles, even if you notice some omissions, it will be too late."

Li Xian thought about it too, so he nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Anyway, it's not a real coup. With the help of my mother, I have nothing to fear.

So this matter was settled like this, and it was decided to act tomorrow night.

Then he asked Sun Jingbang to send a letter to Shangguan Wan'er, asking her to pass it on to the emperor.

……

Early the next morning, Shangguan Wan'er went to the palace to see the emperor.

When I came to Jixian Temple, I happened to meet Zhang Yizhi who came over at the same time.

"I've met Shangguan Sheren!"

Zhang Yizhi saluted slightly, and then smiled: "Here again today? Your Majesty may not be summoned..."

In the recent period, Shangguan Wan'er asked to see her many times, but was unable to meet.

And Wu Zetian also complained that she belonged to her daughter, and her heart was not on her side.

So Zhang Yizhi's attitude towards her recently is not very respectful.

"You don't have to worry about that." Shangguan Wan'er replied blankly.

"I don't know what Shangguan Sheren has to report, why don't you tell me, maybe..." Zhang Yizhi couldn't help but started chatting.

It has to be said that Shangguan Wan'er is a beautiful woman, and naturally has the most intuitive attraction to men.

Although he is already in his 30s, he is about to turn four.

But there is a very obvious gap between her and her peers. There is almost no gray hair on her head, and there are no obvious wrinkles on her face.

And tall and straight, not bloated at all.

Coupled with her quiet personality, she always has the temperament of a big sister next door, which can naturally attract men's attention.

And although Zhang Yizhi said that he was the emperor's male favorite in the eyes of outsiders, he actually didn't have to serve the emperor. He was essentially a normal man, and it was normal to like beautiful women.

But Shangguan Wan'er was obviously not interested in talking to him, she was just a pet dog.

So there was no answer, and he just waited for Zhang Chengxin, who went in to report, to come out.

Seeing her attitude of obviously ignoring him, Zhang Yizhi felt uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to say anything more, just stood by the same side, waiting for Zhang Chengxin to come out.

After all, he is from Fenggeshe, and there is Princess Taiping behind him. If he really dares to show off in front of Shangguan Wan'er, if Princess Taiping comes back to cause trouble, he will not be able to stand it.

After all, Zhang Yizhi still has some psychological shadows on Princess Taiping because of that incident back then.

After a while, Zhang Chengxin came out and saluted Shangguan Wan'er respectfully: "Shangguan Sheren, please come in."

"Thank you!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly, raised her legs and walked in.

Zhang Yizhi didn't seem to expect that His Majesty would meet her today, he was a little dazed for a moment, then he raised his head and asked blankly, "What about me?"

"Wait obediently!" Zhang Chengxin cast a glance at him, showing no good looks at all.

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Yizhi just glanced at him in displeasure, and didn't say much.

He doesn't like this old eunuch very much, every time he sees him, he doesn't give a good face.

Everyone else tried their best to curry favor when they saw each other, but Zhang Chengxin seemed to be very upset every time he saw him.

After all, as the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhang Chengxin knew very well what role this guy played in this incident, so of course he would not talk to him.

He is arrogant, let him be arrogant, anyway, he won't live long.

……

After Shangguan Wan'er entered the hall, she saw Wu Zetian lying on a rocking chair drinking tea.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"No, what's the matter? Is it done?" Wu Zetian waved his hand slightly and asked casually.

"Return to Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter from His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday." Shangguan Wan'er handed over the letter with both hands.

After taking it and looking at it casually, Wu Zetian nodded slightly: "It seems that Sanlang, this kid, can still be serious if he is serious."

Then he smiled again: "Since it's tonight, it's time for me to make some preparations."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to make special preparations, just do as usual."

"Well, you should also prepare, don't let people see it when the time comes."

"Yes, Wan'er understands!"

In this plan, Shangguan Wan'er naturally played an important role in it.

Since Princess Taiping couldn't be seen as involved in this matter, she had to take on a role that seemed unintentionally involved.

……

The day passed peacefully, and nothing seemed to happen.

But in fact, within the Qianniuwei barracks, a considerable number of soldiers have gathered outside the training ground.

Each soldier has issued a non-disclosure agreement, and they are watching carefully.

The content of the agreement is also very simple. Tonight, they will participate in a military exercise on the defense of the palace. After the completion, they cannot disclose it to anyone, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.

Now after these soldiers have been educated, they can basically realize that they must be doing something, but no one has made it clear, but they all signed their names.

Anyway, soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, as long as they are not asked to attack Princess Taiping, then there is no problem.

Moreover, the equipment sent out also included things like blood packs, just to prepare for tonight's exercise.

……

The day passed quickly, and night fell in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Jianzhi, who was having dinner at home and was going to rest, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Then the butler came in: "Ah Lang, someone asked to see me, and the person here called himself Sun Jingbang..."

"Huh?" Zhang Jianzhi frowned all of a sudden, but he still said: "Please!"

After seeing each other, Zhang Jianzhi was about to ask, but was interrupted directly: "Mr. Zhang quickly follow us into the palace, the plan has changed, and we will act tonight!"

"Huh? Tonight?" Zhang Jianzhi frowned suddenly, "This..."

"Oh, it's too late, Mr. Zhang, follow us. The others are already waiting outside." Sun Jingbang said without any explanation, and pulled him away.

After getting out, he got into the carriage, only to find that Yan Yanfan, Pei Tan and others were already waiting in the carriage.

"Everyone, dare to ask this is..."

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know. I just received an order from His Highness the Crown Prince saying that the plan has changed..."

Before Zhang Jianzhi could speak, the carriage was already galloping away.
