Chapter 702
Xue Wanche is definitely a stupid person, a fool, especially in the court, Xue Wanche has no importance in his actions, does not care about priorities, and is also arrogant in dealing with others, showing his anger and joy, otherwise he would not have such credit. But he was impeached again and again.

But although Xue Wanche always acted inappropriately and often offended people, he was not useless.

Xue Wanche's father was Xue Shixiong, a former famous general of the Sui Dynasty. As the son of a general and a descendant of a famous family, his ability to use soldiers was even praised by Li Shimin, calling him a famous general. This is why Chai Lingwu wanted to win him over.

Cheng Zhijie is a veteran general of the Forbidden Army, and Chai Lingwu knew that he was invincible, so he always had to find someone who could rival Cheng Zhijie. Moreover, Xue Wanche, as a general of Youwuwei, still had [-] Forbidden Army under his command to dispatch, plus Chai Lingwu's two Thousands of Zuo Tunwei will make things happen.

The matter of rebellion will change if it is delayed, and it should not be delayed. Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang are also afraid that Xue Wanche will come back and repeat it again.

So that night, Chai Lingwu, Li Yuanchang, and Xue Wanche conspired to attack Cheng Zhijie's Lu Guogong's mansion with a thousand troops led by Shi Yinzhou, the governor of the Han Dynasty, and disrupted Chang'an, making Cheng Zhijie too busy to take care of himself, and the imperial army without a leader.However, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang led a group of [-] people to storm the Xuanwu Gate and seize the imperial city.

The imperial city is where the Taiji Palace is located, and Xuanwu Gate is an important place for the north gate of Taiji Palace. If you win Xuanwu Gate, you will get half of Taiji Palace. As long as you control Taiji Palace, seize the seal of the emperor, welcome back Li Chengqian, and then guard Tongguan to block the entire Taiji Palace. The Kwantung army, in this way, can also draw a pass with Li Ke to rule, and the world will be divided into two.

Li Yuanchang has a good idea, but Xuanwumen is not easy to win. Since the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin has attached great importance to the defense of Xuanwumen. Although it is night, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Zhijie are not in the palace, but Wulian County However, Li Junxian, the general of the public and Zuojian gate guards, was stationed at Xuanwu Gate.

When Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang led a group of 3000 people to break through the West Inner Court and head towards the Xuanwu Gate, Li Junxian of the Xuanwu Gate had already found out the news and ordered people to take precautions.

"This is the important place of Xuanwu Gate, come and stop." Li Junxian stood on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, looked at the crowd of horses coming not far away, and shouted to stop.

After Li Junxian gave an order, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, slowly came out, raised his head and said loudly to Li Junxian on the city: "General Li, I am Li Yuanchang, the king of Han. The prince Li Ke raised troops in Luoyang to rebel and prevent your majesty from returning to the capital." On the way, this king is ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing, to take the crown prince and the king of Wugong County to Luoyang, and hope that General Li will let him go."

Li Junxian was shocked when he heard Li Yuanchang's words. Li Junxian was so surprised not because of Li Yuanchang's words, but because of Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang is a prince who has been released to the outside world. It is a big taboo in the court to return to Beijing quietly this time. It is not an exaggeration to label him a deliberate rebellion. Envy is not much.

Li Yuanchang has always acted in disgrace, and Li Shimin disliked it. If Li Ke rebelled, such a big event, Li Shimin didn't pass on Fang Xuanling or Cheng Zhijie, so would he just tell him about Li Yuanchang?

Moreover, Li Ke was born in the army, he was a famous commander in the court, and he had always been very close to the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Li Junxian also knew Li Ke quite well. How could Li Junxian believe that Li Ke was rebelling just because of Li Yuanchang's words? The Xuanwu Gate was opened.

On the one hand, Li Junxian ordered people to go to the East Palace and the Inner Palace to inform Empress Yang and Wu Meiniang about the matter, and asked them to be careful, but on the other hand, he wanted to stabilize Li Yuanchang first.

Li Junxian said to Li Yuanchang: "Since the king of Han came here by the emperor's order, he should have an imperial edict. Please also ask the king of Han to show the imperial edict, so we can follow his orders."

In fact, what Li Junxian said was just prevarication, and the imperial decree may also be a coercion. The emperor himself conscripted outside, and the imperial decree in Li Yuanchang's hand alone cannot open the Xuanwu Gate after nightfall.

Li Shimin had explained to Li Junxian long before he left Beijing that there are only two people in the world who can open the Xuanwu Gate at night. One is Li Shimin himself, and the other is the prince Li Ke who holds the Double Dragon Talisman. Apart from them, Even if Fang Xuanling came, he would not be able to open the Xuanwu Gate.

Of course, Li Yuanchang did not have the imperial decree. Li Yuanchang saw that he could not be deceived to open the city gate, so he said to the officers and men of the imperial army behind him: "Li Junxian colluded with the prince and intends to rebel. Please take the Xuanwu gate with me. The king personally rewards you all in front of His Majesty."

--------------

Under the Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuanchang led a group of forbidden troops to storm the Xuanwu Gate, and soon the news of Li Yuanchang's intention to rebel was sent to the East Palace.

"Little girl, little girl, little girl."

Outside the bedroom door of Cheng En Hall, Jin'er, who is in charge of the affairs of the inner garden of the East Palace and Wu Meiniang's confidant, knocked on the door quickly, calling for Wu Meiniang, and said eagerly to Wu Meiniang in the hall.

Wu Meiniang, who was still asleep, was awakened by Jin'er's calling, and hearing Jin'er's urgent cry, she knew that there must be something important, so she hurriedly passed Jin'er into the palace and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

Jin'er replied: "General Li Junxian, who is guarding the Xuanwu Gate, ordered someone to send a letter saying that Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, together with Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu, intends to rebel and is attacking Xuanwu Gate. General Li is worried that there are spies from them in the palace. The letter tells my lady to be very careful. , Take a good look at the two little county kings."

The prince rebelled and wanted to force the palace. If an ordinary woman heard about it, her heart would be flustered. She would only know that from what Li Junxian said, she would be restless in the palace, and Wu Meiniang was not ordinary. Wu Meiniang listened to Jin'er's words, and she didn't see the slightest thing on her face. Feeling flustered, he first asked Jin'er, "Where are Yan'er and Wei'er?"

Jin'er replied: "The side hall is resting now, do you want the maid to wake them up?"

Wu Meiniang didn't reply to Jin'er's words, but frowned for a moment.

At this very moment, what Wu Meiniang was worried about was not the safety of their mother and child, but another point, that is, now is the perfect opportunity for the crown prince, Li Cong, to grow up.

The military power in Chang'an City is in the hands of Fang Xuanling and Cheng Zhijie. It is impossible for Fang Xuanling and Cheng Zhijie to rebel. It may not be possible to break the door in a short period of time. When the news of Li Yuanchang's rebellion spreads and Cheng Zhijie leads the troops here, Li Yuanchang will definitely be defeated.

Wu Meiniang said: "Wei'er is still young, let him fall asleep. You wake up Huan'er and call him over. Also, Chuan Nei led the mansion Gao Kan to lead the troops here quickly."

Jin'er heard the words and said to Wu Meiniang: "My little lady wants to send Gao Kan into the inner court to guard."

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "No, I want to take Yun'er to the Xuanwu Gate to put an end to the chaos. Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu are all led by the Forbidden Army in the palace. If the Crown Prince's eldest son comes forward, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army will surely surrender."
