Man Tanghong

Chapter 520 Xuanwu Gate ([-])
The distance from Anli Gate to Ganlu Hall is similar to that from Xuanwu Gate to Anli Gate.

Li Yuanji rode a horse and ran very fast. Li Shimin led his men to pursue him, but they did not catch up. Li Jiancheng did not know where he got a horse.

The rest of the people suffered, they had no horses, Li Shimin caught up with them easily, and began to kill and kill.

When passing the Hongwen Palace, Li Jiancheng didn't know whether he became smart again, or after being instructed by an expert, he actually remembered the broken queen.

He left a thousand long forest soldiers to stop Li Shimin, and continued to flee with the rest.

It was this thousand long forest soldiers who successfully stopped Li Shimin for a quarter of an hour and saved the lives of others.

When fleeing to Ganlu Hall, Li Yuanji saw Li Xiaogong wearing a very flamboyant armor at the gate of the hall, looking forward to it from a long distance away.

Li Xiaogong didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually wore a shiny bright light armor, as if he was afraid that the bright light armor would not be conspicuous enough to reveal his identity, so he specially put on a red cloak.

Then his figure became as conspicuous as a little red in a green bush.

"Cousin!"

"Yuanji!"

When Li Yuanji rode his horse to the front of Ganlu Hall, Li Xiaogong hurried down the stone steps to meet him.

After seeing Li Yuanji with thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, and everyone in a panic, Li Xiaogong swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief: "Erlang really dares to do something in the palace?"

Li Yuanji nodded solemnly and said, "If he doesn't do anything, my elder brother will."

"Li Yuanji! Don't slander me! I'm not that traitor Li Shimin!"

Li Jiancheng caught up at this time, and after hearing Li Yuanji's words, he scolded with a gloomy face.

Li Yuanji frowned, and looked at Li Jiancheng with cold eyes.

Before Li Jiancheng could speak again, Li Yuanji said coldly, "Shut up, don't you know what you did?"

"what did I do?!"

Li Jiancheng asked angrily.

Although he had the same idea as Li Shimin and made some preparations, he hadn't had time to do it yet, so he felt that he was still on the side of justice.

Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Jiancheng, raised the big knife in his hand without hesitation, and said coldly: "If you dare to say one more nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you first!"

Li Jiancheng widened his eyes and scolded angrily, "I'm your big brother!"

Li Yuanji sneered, and threw the big knife in his hand without the slightest hesitation.

The broadsword drew an arc in the air, pierced through the guards standing in front of Li Jiancheng, and whizzed past Li Jiancheng's shoulder.

Li Jiancheng clearly felt the pain from his shoulder, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with resentment on his face, and didn't dare to say another word.

"Protect Your Highness!"

Zhao Chengyong shouted with a solemn expression, and led people to surround Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji ignored Li Jiancheng, but looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Gather the soldiers and horses of Zuojianmen Mansion quickly!"

Li Xiaogong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said in horror: "You want me to help you rebel?!"

Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "What kind of rebellion am I creating? I want to save our lives!"

Li Xiaogong said tremblingly: "That's not what you told me yesterday! It's enough for you to let me guard all the gates in the palace, and I don't need to intervene in other things!"

Li Yuanji said: "At this time and at that time, my second brother has already bought the top and bottom of You Tunwei, and now he is leading the 1 people of You Tunwei to chase and kill us. , can you stop them?"

"Erlang bought You Tunwei up and down? How is this possible?"

Li Xiaogong shouted subconsciously, with disbelief written all over his face.

You Tunwei, that is Li Yuan's personal soldier, how could he betray Li Yuan?
He couldn't believe it.

"I can testify to this. Erlang indeed bought the upper and lower members of the Youtunwei, and now he is leading the Youtunwei people to chase us down."

Li Jiancheng more or less realized his current situation and saw what Li Yuanji was doing, so he hesitated to say something.

Li Xiaogong was dumbfounded and said: "Is it really like this?"

Before Li Yuanji could speak again, Li Xiaogong said in a panic: "Then I have to send someone to report this matter to the sage, and ask the sage to make a decision."

You Tunwei betrayed Li Yuan, how to deal with it, how to deal with it, is no longer his decision.

To be precise, among all the people present, no one could make the decision, including Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

This kind of matter can only be decided by Li Yuan, and only Li Yuan can make a decision.

"Don't be in a hurry to report, let's gather the people from Zuojianmen's mansion first."

Li Yuanji stopped Li Xiaogong who was going to sue, and urged him.

Li Xiaogong blew his beard and stared and shouted: "I can decide this kind of thing?"

Although he is the General of the Zuojianmen Mansion, he does not have the authority to assemble the army of the Zuojianmen Mansion in the palace.

Not only him, but none of the generals who served as the generals of the four prefectures had the authority to assemble the army of the four prefectures.

Only one person has this authority, and that is Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji said: "You just do as I tell you."

Li Xiaogong stiffened his neck and said: "That can't be done, I have to tell the saint first."

Seeing this, Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Xiaogong. He grabbed Li Xiaogong and lifted Li Xiaogong up amid Li Xiaogong's exclamation. The seal, and the half-faced soldier amulet of the general of the Zuojianmen Mansion.

"Call the army of the Zuojianmen Mansion to gather here!"

Li Yuanji held up the seal and military amulet and shouted.

The soldiers of the Zuojianmen Mansion who followed Li Xiaogong looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Yuanji's face darkened, and he shouted again: "Here is the seal of the soldier's talisman, and those who do not follow will be punished as treason!"

All the soldiers of the Zuojianmen Mansion looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all bowed and agreed.

"Here!"

"Quickly pass the order!"

Li Yuanji ordered in a deep voice.

A group of soldiers from the Zuojianmen Mansion quickly dispersed and rushed to various places in the palace to deliver orders.

This is the role of the soldiers seal letter, and this is also the reason why Li Yuan put Li Xiaogong and other capable and prestigious people who threatened the Tang Dynasty in the palace as the palace guards and the guards in charge.

Li Yuan was not afraid of what they would do with the power in their hands, because without the seal of the soldier talisman, they would not be able to mobilize even one person.

Among the twelve guards and four mansions of the Tang Dynasty, except for the left and right Beishen mansions and the left and right guards, the rest only recognize soldiers and do not recognize people.

This is also the meaning of the existence of soldiers.

However, most of the great generals of the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions only had half of the soldier talisman, and the remaining half was in Li Yuan's hands.

Only when the soldier talismans are assembled and matched, can the soldiers and horses be mobilized to do anything.

Li Yuanji mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Zuojianmen Mansion with only half-faced military talismans. many people.

At the beginning, he sought positions in the palace for Xie Shufang, the Xue brothers and others, saying that he wanted to place them where he needed them, but in fact he used them to place his own people.

Now, like Li Shimin's, his people are all over the Tai Chi Palace.

The only difference is that Li Shimin has the power and power, the ability to seek better positions for the people under him, and the ability to make many people officials and make wishes, so Li Shimin took the route of the upper class, and all the bribes were in the palace. The generals and schools with important positions are also those who can hold important positions in the palace.

He is not as powerful and powerful as Li Shimin, and he can't make wishes for many generals and schools like Li Shimin, so he took the middle and lower route, and all he bought were some basic officers in the palace and some prestigious soldiers.

One or two of these people can't do anything, but ten or eight of them can get together to overtake the Shangguan and control the army they are in.

"Li Yuanji, do you know what you are doing? You are conspiring against me!"

In Li Yuanji's hands, Li Xiaogong didn't struggle at all, but roared angrily at Li Yuanji.

According to Tang law, to privately steal the seal letter of any general in the Twelve Guards and Four Houses is treason.

Li Yuanji put down Li Xiaogong, and in Li Xiaogong's angry expression, said seriously: "Cousin, my second elder brother is leading the people from Youtunwei to chase and kill me. If I don't do this, I will only die."

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute, so he simply shouted indignantly: "I will definitely report this matter to the saint!"

Li Yuanji patted Li Xiaogong on the shoulder, and didn't say anything more on this topic.

If you love to report, you can report.

After Li Yuan knew everything that happened in the palace, he was still thinking about it, so he took off his head and gave it to Li Xiaogong to kick.

"Cousin, after the people from Zuojianmen Mansion are gathered, you leave 3000 people behind for me, and you take the rest of them around from the East Palace to the Anli Gate, and seal the Anli Gate for me."

Li Yuanji patted Li Xiaogong on the shoulder again after the officers and men of the Ganlu Gate, which was the closest to the Ganlu Hall, arrived, and gave orders in a negotiating tone.

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Li Xiaogong yelled bluffing, "You took my soldier's talisman seal and caused me to commit a great crime, and you want to kill me?"

Li Yuanji withdrew his hand and threatened: "If you don't help me, I will give up resistance. When my second brother kills me, I will tell him that you taught me everything I did in the palace."

Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuanji dumbfounded, not only frightened by Li Yuanji's threat, but also stunned by Li Yuanji's shamelessness.

Why didn't he realize that Li Yuanji was such a shameless person before? !

"Will you help? In a word, my second brother is about to arrive. When he arrives, you will have no chance to leave."

When Li Yuanji heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes, he knew that Li Shimin was coming, so he immediately stared at Li Xiaogong and asked.
