Great Tang princess

Chapter 792 End
Pei Tan and the others nodded, and followed Li Xian to the Jixian Hall.

After all, this is already a critical time, from the perspective of Long Zhigong, not to mention that Li Xian still holds a shotgun in his hand, even if there is an ambush inside, there is no way to deal with it.

So several people followed Li Xian up the steps, and entered the hall under the watchful eyes of more than 20 gun-wielding maids.

After entering the hall, the emperor was not seen, but only a Shangguan Wan'er was sitting at the table drinking tea.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, feeling a little confused for a moment.

The main reason is that it is almost summer at this time, but Shangguan Wan'er is wearing a winter cloak, and her whole body is tightly wrapped.

For a moment, no one realized what kind of crazy she was.

Seeing them coming in, Shangguan Wan'er saluted and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xian nodded slightly: "I don't know if Shangguan Sheren is here, is he planning to stop Gu?"

"The sage is wise, and he had some premonitions about today's events, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. But anyway, since Wan'er is here today, His Highness cannot be allowed to see the sage at will," Shangguan Wan'er replied.

"Heh..." Li Xian sneered, looked left and right, "You are the only one here, can you stop me from waiting? Don't tell Gu that you are just like Yuechen?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head slightly: "Wan'er doesn't know martial arts, so she can't stop His Highness on her own, but..."

Having said that, she grabbed her cloak and pulled it down. The scene under the clothes made everyone stunned.

Under the cloak was an ordinary piece of clothing, but the difference was that a whole bamboo tube was wrapped around her waist, and the outside was wrapped with cracked iron sheets.

Everyone present knew what it was, a grenade!
With a "click", Shangguan Wan'er lit the lighter in her hand, and the orange flame danced lightly in her hand.

"I just don't know, His Royal Highness, are you planning to force your way there?" Shangguan Wan'er asked softly with a lighter in one hand and a lead wire in the other.

The tone was very light, the voice was not loud, and there was no sense of questioning at all.

However, it made everyone hold their breath and concentrate, not even daring to take a big breath.

She never expected that Shangguan Wan'er would have such courage.

You know, once she ignites the fuse, there will be absolutely no living people in Jixian Temple.

At that time, everyone will be together on Huangquan Road.

Although this was a script that had been set long ago, Li Xianming knew it was a drill, but when he saw Shangguan Wan'er's firm expression that was not negotiable at all, he still couldn't help but subconsciously took a step back.

But as soon as he took a step back, his shoulder was supported by a hand.

Looking back, it was Zhang Jianzhi.

He pushed Li Xian's shoulder with one hand, and said softly, "Your Highness, you can't retreat!"

For Zhang Jianzhi, today's coup is already a fact.

If the crown prince is cowardly at this time, maybe he himself will not die, but the others who participated in this matter today will not survive.

Things have reached this point, it can only succeed but not fail!

So even if Shangguan Wan'er is full of gunpowder now, she must find a way to talk.

Since she didn't ignite it the moment the person on her side came in, it meant that she didn't want to die either, which meant that there was still something to talk about.

After looking back, Li Xian also understood what he meant.

Then he took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Shangguan Wan'er, it's meaningless for you to stop Gu here, even if you blow up everyone here, what will happen in the end?"

"Your Highness, you might as well say it directly." Shangguan Wan'er replied blankly.

Li Xian raised his hand, handed the shotgun in his hand to Wei Lianer who was beside him, and took a step forward empty-handed: "Even if you and I die together in this Immortal Palace at this moment, it will be meaningless in the end. Things Now that you have reached this point, why don't you let Gu meet your mother and talk about the matter."

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at the few people behind, and continued: "Now you are a member of Fenggeshe, and now you let Gumian meet the saint. After a few years, Mr. Zhang will retire when he is old, and you can be the next one. Chief Minister of the Cabinet!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone was slightly taken aback, as if they didn't understand why they made such a promise.

Yan Yanfan and Pei wanted to object when they opened their mouths, but after thinking about it carefully, they immediately calmed down.

To be honest, it is no problem for Shangguan Wan'er to be the chief assistant of the cabinet.

When she was the commander of the secret guard, she managed things in an orderly manner, not to mention that she is still a generation leader in the literary world.

It can be said that Shangguan Wan'er needs talent and talent, ability and ability, qualifications and qualifications!

With her own reputation, it is no problem to be the chief minister of the cabinet.

The only problem now is that he is still too young, and it is easy to make people feel unreliable.

But this is not a problem, now Zhang Jianzhi is still there.

In a few years, Shangguan Wan'er will be 40 years old. At that time, she can indeed be considered as the new chief assistant of the cabinet.

As for Yan Yanfan and Pei Tan, they didn't consider this position.

The position of chief assistant of the cabinet is not something that everyone can get. Without the diamond, it is best not to take the job of porcelain.

So the two of them are not interested in this position. In this way, Shangguan Wan'er has no conflict with them, so Li Xian gave her the position of the future chief assistant of the cabinet, which does not conflict with their interests.

After hearing Li Xian's words, Shangguan Wan'er didn't speak for a moment.

Li Xian continued: "I only have one request, just meet and talk with A Niang."

"Only the Crown Prince?" Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and asked.

"Yes, I'm alone!" Li Xian nodded firmly.

"Your Highness, no!" The people behind him immediately advised.

However, Li Xian just shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "That's the only way to go, otherwise, if the inner guard from the previous dynasty came over a while later, the success would be in vain."

When everyone thinks about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

After all, they were able to come to Jixian Temple smoothly this time only because of a time difference.

Now the initiative is in the hands of Shangguan Wan'er, and now she can only listen to her.

After thinking for a while, Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "In this case, His Highness should enter the inner hall, and no one else is allowed to enter."

Li Xian nodded: "No problem!"

After agreeing, he raised his legs and walked forward, passed Shangguan Wan'er, and went straight to the inner hall.

Shangguan Wan'er still maintained the posture just now, holding the lighter in one hand and the fuse in the other to prevent them from making any sudden moves.

Pei Tan and the others looked at Wei Lian'er who was beside her from time to time. Now that the gun was in her hand, she could kill Shangguan Wan'er with just raising her hand.

But the question is, does she dare?

You know, Princess Taiping is standing behind Shangguan Wan'er. If she dies, it's hard to say what the princess will do when she comes back.

Of course Wei Lian'er would not do this, after all she is also one of the participants in the plan.

……

On the other side, after Li Xian entered the inner hall, he immediately came to his mother and said, "I have seen my mother."

"Forget it, you're going to be the emperor, why are you so frizzy?" Wu Zetian laughed.

"It's been a long time since I saw A Niang, and I miss you so much." Li Xian replied with a smile.

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "In the past few years, your flattery skills have improved a lot..."

Speaking of this, he immediately changed the subject: "How? Didn't there be any other incidents?"

"Don't worry, mother, everything is in plan!" Li Xian nodded.

In any case, things went smoothly this time, without any trouble.

Wu Zetian nodded: "That's good. I'll take the edict and announce it later. I will be the emperor in the future, so don't be as frizzy as before."

"That's what I said, it's not that she doesn't care about me after she abdicates."

"Of course I don't care. After Wei Niang abdicates, she will go to various places and have fun. Is it possible that Wei Niang will continue to control the government for you?" Wu Zetian laughed.

In fact, Li Xian really thought so, but of course he didn't dare to say this, so he had no choice but to agree.

The mother and son chatted about something in the inner hall, no one knew, and everyone outside looked at Shangguan Wan'er nervously.

After this weird silence lasted for a while, Wei Lian'er suddenly said, "Aren't Shangguan Sheren tired from holding it all the time? Why don't you take a break?"

"exactly……"

Yan Yanfan also advised: "Anyway, this is the end of the matter, I will not do unnecessary things, why not..."

After all, gunpowder is really scary. If she loses her hands, all these people here will be blown away.

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while, took a few steps back, and put down the lighter in her hand.

This is also to keep a distance from them and prevent them from rushing over suddenly.

It's not that they haven't thought about it, but it's unnecessary to think about it.

After all, no one knows if the inner palace where the emperor is now is still there. According to the character of the emperor, maybe there is.

At that time, they would rush directly into the inner hall, which might cause unnecessary accidents.

The two sides maintained a strange silence and temporarily stopped the confrontation.

Just when Pei Tan was thinking about whether to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere with the future chief minister of the cabinet, there was another burst of messy footsteps outside.

Immediately there was a loud shout, and the voice seemed to be the court lady who just rejected Li Xian: "Who is it? Everyone back down!"

Accompanied by a "bang", they had heard this sound just now, it was a gunshot.

Hearing this voice, Shangguan Wan'er raised her hand again and lit the lighter.

Yan Yanfan advised: "Shangguan Sheren don't panic, go out and have a look first."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Chengxin's unique voice sounded outside: "Okay, let's all go back. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now facing the Holy Spirit, and the rest of you should step back."

As soon as he spoke, the outside became quiet.

Then he walked in, with a calm expression on his face: "You don't need to panic, it's just that the inner guard from the front came in."

This is a simple statement, but it is definitely not good news for Zhang Jianzhi and others.

You must know that there are only about 500 people on their side this time, but they don't know how many people there are in the entire inner guard, but it must be more than 500.

If the mother and son didn't agree on this, they might all be doomed.

But now I don't know what's going on inside, so I can only wait slowly.

No one knows what the mother and son talked about in the inner hall, so they can only wait.

And after such a wait, it took almost half an hour to wait.

After a while, Li Xian came out.

When he came out, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had cried a lot.

But Zhang Jianzhi and others saw that he was holding an edict in his hand, and they were relieved immediately.

……

On the way back to the East Palace, Zhang Jianzhi and others couldn't help sighing when they saw the corpses all over the place.

But no matter what, they won this time, and Li Xian will be the emperor, which is considered to be in the hands of Long Zhigong.

It was already midnight at this time, Li Xian asked them to go back and change their clothes and prepare to go to court.

And a large number of internal guards also slowly carried away the corpses scattered on the ground on stretchers.

After leaving Xuanwu Gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Tan couldn't help but asked softly: "This matter... feels a bit..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to describe it, and he always felt that this matter was a bit weird.

But I can't tell you the specifics, but I just feel that something is not right.

But Zhang Jianzhi just waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway, the goal has been achieved, and there are some things, it's better not to delve into it."

……

Before dawn, many ministers got up early to prepare for the court meeting.

However, just after waking up, I heard a shocking news: last night there was a coup in the palace!

Many ministers who received the news were stunned. What's going on?I haven't received any news before, and I haven't felt any signs of trouble. Why is there a coup all of a sudden?

But no matter what, the court still has to go, so I can only put on clothes and go to the palace first.

After going out, I met many colleagues along the way, and after meeting, they were all discussing what happened last night in a low voice.

However, everyone was in a state of bewilderment, without any warning before!
The most important thing is, no one would have thought that the prince would dare to do such a thing!
It was so unexpected that people couldn't even imagine it.

After coming to the palace amidst the crowd's bewilderment, I feel that nothing else has changed here, and it's still the same as usual.

After going to court, the ministers entered the hall amidst Zhang Chengxin's loud announcement.

Then the emperor was seen coming out from the side, slowly walking towards the dragon chair.

She hunched her back, walked very slowly, and even coughed twice from time to time, looking completely terminally ill.

She was already an old lady, but looking at it this way, she seemed to be several years older.

The ministers couldn't help thinking, it seems that the rumor that the emperor was seriously ill some time ago was true, so the prince seized this opportunity to act?
Wu Zetian sat on the dragon chair with some difficulty, and after the ministers saluted, she waved her hand slightly and asked Zhang Chengxin to call.

"Crown Prince Xian, honest and gentle..." Zhang Chengxin began to announce loudly.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple, that is, the crown prince is a good man, with no choice in terms of character, character and ability, and he is the best candidate to succeed the emperor. I am also old, and now the crown prince is passed on...

Although the ministers were curious about what happened last night, this was not the time to be entangled, so it was right to salute first.
