The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 256
In the bustling Chang'an, the people are running in panic, iron hooves churning, and the sound of "rumbling" spreads past. Pedestrians and vendors around panic to avoid, stalls, cargo loads, small stoves, and charcoal fires are scattered all over the street in disorder. From the side, I watched in horror groups of cavalry running, followed by a carriage, heading for the majestic imperial city in the distance.

The guard of the Zhuque Gate tower had just been sent to a team of privy envoys. He had just climbed the tower when he felt a slight tremor on the ground. In a hurry, he only had time to shout: "Close the city gate—"

The sound of iron hooves spreading across the ground swept across.

At this time, walking straight through the palace road, Chengtian Gate, and Taiji Gate, Jiang Xuanhui led a 500-man team from the Ministry of War to quickly rush to the Taiji Hall to join the soldiers of the Thousand-Su guard who stayed there.

In the main hall, Li Ye was asking the officials of Zhongshu Province to draft an edict, and when Li Shunjie led the Longxiang Army to enter the various gates of Chang'an, he would issue an edict to the left and right Longwu Army and Yulin Army, and let their generals enter the palace to face the saints.

While he was thinking about his choice of words, Cui Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, and a group of ministers and generals, and fifty palace guards were confronting the soldiers from Suweidu outside, probably trying to persuade this army of more than a thousand soldiers to come to Rongwei Taiji temple.

"You are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and you should respect the emperor. How can you follow Zhu Youlun in such a rebellious act, insulting the emperor, and despising the court. You eat the country's food and wages, and should protect the country and the emperor."

"The thief who deceived the emperor fell off his horse and died now, it is karma. You turn to the emperor at this time to protect Chang'an. Your Majesty will no longer pursue your crimes and forgive the crimes of your family members."

A lot of official accents, famous sayings, and sage's words, understand them with reason, and move them with emotion. More than a thousand soldiers on the opposite side just watched these ministers turn their lips and take turns to go into battle. '嗤' issued a disdainful sneer.

Tai Chi Temple.

After Li Ye finished speaking the last word, he asked Liu Wenwei, the servant who wrote the book, to show it to him, and returned it to the other party with satisfaction, and asked him to prepare the seal. As long as the Longxiang army entered the city, he would dispatch horses to the various army garrisons.

"Such a golden opportunity, if I don't seize the opportunity, I will be extremely stupid. Fortunately, Qin Qing reminded me in time, and Chang'an will return to my hands after that, and I will be a big reward!"

Sitting behind the dragon table, the emperor leaned back slightly, and the feeling of regaining power returned.

"Zhu Wen is not in Chang'an, Zhu Youlun is dead again, and all the armies in Chang'an have no leader. If you still can't take it back to Chang'an, then I am really incompetent." '

He thought, the voices outside were still going on, and a group of more than a thousand soldiers from the old guard had arrived and hadn't persuaded him yet, making Li Ye slightly frown.

With a sharp tongue and citing scriptures, how could he not be able to convince a bunch of rough men? I should give them some time.

The thought disappeared in a flash, and there was a sudden commotion outside. The guard soldiers who were holding the stone steps separated left and right, and a group of hundreds of people filed up the stone steps. Waiting for some courtiers who know martial arts to guard him, he went straight to the gate of the palace.

Now that Zhu Youlun is dead, Li Ye is a little more courageous than before. He brushed off the dragon sleeves and went behind his back, took a breath, looked at the figure of the leader, and shouted loudly: "The privy envoy is not an important position in the palace. He leads the soldiers. What is the purpose of entering the palace?!"

This statement has obvious meaning.

The commander of the Suweidu guards the emperor and can bring troops into the palace, but the privy envoy cannot. If they do this, they will be suspected of forcing the palace to rebel.

When Li Ye asked these words, he directly pushed the other party to the wrong position.

Over there, Jiang Xuanhui was dumbstruck for a moment, but he quickly realized that he let the 500 people who followed him occupy the main road, and at the same time made the etiquette of meeting the emperor comprehensive, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will command you when I hear it." Zhu Youlun fell off his horse and died, worrying about the safety of His Majesty, and someone secretly making trouble, so he brought troops into the palace to escort him."

"The privy envoy has seen it now, I'm fine, you can take your troops back, and just leave the soldiers of the thousand-odd guards."

Counting the time, the Longxiang army was already on the road to the imperial city. Li Ye calmed down a lot and waved his hand with a smile: "As for the commanders who fell off their horses, we still need to check the corpses. This is still for the Ministry of Punishment to investigate. If you are familiar with the matter, don't bother the privy envoy to intervene."

"The commander is the nephew of the king of Liang. If the minister leaves like this, it will be difficult for the minister to explain to the king of Liang."

Jiang Xuanhui knew that the emperor had been suppressing him with reason, and after he calmed down, he ignored the emperor's words, and passed them after hearing them. While speaking, he sent someone to carry Zhu Youlun's body over to the pasture on the other side of Taiye Lake.

"Okay, get the body and find out if you fell to your death. If you fell to your death, the privy envoy will lead troops into the Tai Chi Hall today. You can decide how it will end!" Li Ye stood in front of Wen Wu and shouted loudly.

For a while, both sides refused to give an inch in front of the Tai Chi Hall. Jiang Xuanhui saw that the emperor was so courageous, and he knew in his heart that the other party had confidence, and the only way to have confidence was to have an army. He began to feel a little worried.

He still wanted to speak and push back, but suddenly there was a slight vibration from the stone steps under his feet. This kind of movement was not caused by the ground dragon turning over, but by many horseshoes trampling the ground. .

Straight in front of the Taiji Gate, figures on horseback and long soldiers swarmed in. Seeing this scene, Li Ye's anger faded away, and a smile appeared on his face, laughing loudly.

"Privy envoy, do you know who this soldier is?!"

Over there, Jiang Xuanhui's heart skipped a beat, and his body trembled a little. There were thousands of cavalry rushing to this side after entering the Taiji Gate, and it was not at all that his 500 men could resist, even if the 1000 men in Suweidu were counted. , can't shake this cavalry at all.

Longchamp.

He knew that the leader of the army has always been Li Shunjie, and he has always been the son of the emperor. When King Liang was still in Chang'an, he often wanted to transfer him away. If you are in a hurry, if you lead the cavalry to join other Jiedu envoys, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Wanting to win him over, the other party didn't have any good feelings for Liang Wang. Now, the hidden dangers finally came to the fore, which caught Jiang Xuanhui a little off guard.

Boom.
Countless churning iron hooves spread over, sweeping across the square like a wave, reining in their horses and stopping, in a blustery movement, they raised their long soldiers with 'wow', or pulled out their bows and arrows and pointed them at the stone steps.

The soldiers of Yiqiansu Guards turned pale, holding their weapons, they didn't know what to do next, if they moved, they would only die.

The expressions of the civil and military officials around were similar to those of Li Ye, and they laughed with relief. With the dragon army entering the city, everything was under control.

In the crowd, Qin Huaimian didn't smile, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zhu Youlun's death was too coincidental and strange. Long Xiang's army entered the city unimpeded. Behind these intertwined things, there was an invisible hand that was twisting the chess pieces and dropping them off the chessboard. .
