People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1127 The hidden man in the East Palace is secretly sent to Changzhou

"Bang" a white porcelain tea cup was thrown to the ground and smashed into pieces.

Li Xian gasped for air, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

He stared at the guest Murong who was standing in the palace, gritted his teeth and said: "What do you mean you can't find him? When he left alone, he was still staying in the East Palace well. Why can't he be found? Are you all trash?"

"Your Highness, please calm down." Murong Jianjin raised his hands with an ugly expression and said, "Your Highness, it is not just one person who is missing this time. There are three household slaves who are missing. Two of them are probably members of the Secret Guard, and only... "

"Okay." Li Xian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then said with a sneer: "He is also a member of the secret guard. He was inserted by Ming Chongyan last year."

Murong Jingbin immediately shut up. One and a half years have passed since the matter of Master Shiyin Ming Chongyan, but there has still been no solution.

Even if the King of Nanchang personally investigated the case, nothing substantial was found.

But now, it gives people an inexplicable feeling.

Ming Chongyan's death was like a rope tightening around everyone's neck.

If you are not careful, you may strangle someone directly.

Li Xian sat down behind the desk and sighed softly and said: "It was the secret guards who took him away. Although he didn't understand Gu Chen more clearly, he said everything he could."

Li Xian's expression was a little dazed, as if he had thought of something, and then his face became fierce again, clenching his fists, and said fiercely: "If they can take away this person from the East Palace today, they can naturally take away other people from the East Palace as well." This person, this person, is also very likely to be alone..."

"Your Highness!" Murong Jianjin interrupted Li Xian directly, and then said: "How can a household slave compare with me, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, if a household slave like that is lost, it will be lost. What should be done now is Seize the opportunity to clean up the East Palace from top to bottom."

Li Xian's eyes became cold instantly. He stared at Murong Guest, took a deep breath, and then said with a calm expression: "Okay, you go ahead and remove all the secret guards found in the East Palace. Not even one of them will be killed." Not allowed to stay.”

Murong Jianbin's brows instantly raised.

The secret guards have placed people in the East Palace. It’s not that the East Palace doesn’t know about it, but what can they do? If they are eliminated today, new people will be brought in tomorrow, and all the work done before will be in vain.

It’s not that the prince doesn’t understand the truth behind this, but...

Thinking of the recent news in the East Palace, Murong Jianjin sighed softly, cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

As soon as Li Xian waved his hand, Murong Jianbin retreated.

Walking out of the hall, Murong Feijia's face darkened.

At this moment, there was a "bang" behind him, and a white porcelain tea cup was smashed in the hall again.

Murong Jinbin shook his head helplessly and walked outside.

……

Li Xian sat behind the desk, stretched his right hand forward, and was about to throw out the paperweight on the desk. At this time, a familiar voice sounded: "Your Highness."

"Gao Qi!" Li Xian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He placed the paperweight on the table and looked toward the side door. Gao Qi was already standing there, holding a bowl of soup in his hand.

Waving his hand, Li Xian said: "Come in."

"Yes!" Gao Qi came in, placed the soup in front of Li Xian, and stood with his hands tied without saying a word.

"Do you know everything?" Li Xian raised his head.

"Yes!" Gao Qi bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Luoyang is not as good as Chang'an. We only have a few months here every year and our operations are not enough. Naturally, it is easy for others to infiltrate..."

"What I'm talking about is about Daosheng. I want to know where he is now?" Li Xian looked at Gao Qi worriedly and said, "He was taken away by the secret guards. I don't know what's going on?"

Gao Qi fell silent, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Your Highness, how much does he know about our affairs?"

Li Xian thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Gu didn't say anything to him. Instead, he said a lot. They were all things that the secret guards already knew, such as the Turks in Luoyang, Chang'an, and Yuchi, the guard of the right prison. These are things that the secret guards have been watching for a long time and have nothing to do with the East Palace...

The only time he made a mistake was when he was drunk, which shows that it doesn't matter if Chongyan kills alone. "

Gao Qi's breath suddenly sank, then he shook his head and said: "These words will make the Queen hate His Highness even more, but it is impossible to do anything to His Highness, let alone a household slave."

"Yes, Gu is the prince after all. It's delusional to think of something to do to Gu based on the nonsense of a servant." Li Xian calmed down, with a sneer on his lips.

"Then how much do the secret guards know about what's going on over there?" Gao Qi stared at Li Xian. The things in that place were really fatal.

"Gu has never told him, and there are no such things in what he said to Gu." Li Xian was a little emotional and said: "Although he is a member of the Secret Guard, he was only chosen by Ming Chongyan because of his outstanding appearance. He was picked out and sent to the East Palace. It was only the latest thing that he came to Gu's side. It was only that time when he was drunk and made a mistake that he came to Gu's side."

After a slight pause, Li Xian continued: "But at that time, in Luoyang, even Gu didn't know much about the things over there."

"That means he doesn't know anything anymore." Gao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

East Palace Stables.

Gao Qi didn't even dare to speak these four words in front of Li Xian here, for fear that someone might overhear them by accident.

……

"But do the secret guards really know nothing?" Li Xian looked at Gao Qi nervously.

"If you say that the secret guards have no suspicions, even I don't believe it. But the East Palace is so big, it's not easy to be sure, and the place is not a small place." Takasaki's voice lowered subconsciously.

Li Xian nodded lightly, the East Palace Stables was not a small place.

There are hundreds of horses of various sizes in the East Palace Stables. In addition to the horses parked by the officials of the East Palace, there are also horses that Li Xian and the Crown Princess ride. There are hundreds of horses of all kinds.

In addition, there were servants from the East Palace, crossbows purchased through the palace gate, and horses for transporting things. There were hundreds of them.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the prince's six cavalry troops guarding the East Palace, with hundreds of horses.

All added up to already more than three hundred. Three hundred, this number is the most important.

However, Li Xian had no idea that the secret guard had already known about the stables, and Li Xian was absolutely certain that Zhao Daosheng did not know about the stables.

Therefore, it was Zhao Gongqu who finally succeeded in the matter of the stables.

It’s true anyway.

There are armors, horses, and weapons.

Plus, someone has to be there.

"Those you contacted secretly...are there no problems?" Li Xian said carefully.

Gao Qi smiled softly, and then said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the secret guards are watching the Turks, the right guard cavalry, and the home guards under them. They have no idea that we use other manpower."

Donggong did a lot where the secret guards couldn't see.

Armor, weapons, and people.

All have channels that the secret guards don't know about.

……

"Tell me, if they are allowed to enter the palace now, can they help Gu rescue people?" Li Xian suddenly looked up at Gao Qi.

Gao Qi's breathing suddenly became heavier. He looked at Li Xian, lowered his head, and said seriously: "Your Highness, they can't enter the palace now, and even if they enter the palace, they may not be able to find anyone. The palace is strictly forbidden. It’s difficult for people to save him.”

Li Xian was dejected, waved his hand and said, "Gu just said it so casually."

Sighing softly, Li Xian said: "Actually, I have always been under a lot of pressure. It is not easy to have a place where I can relax."

"Your Highness, we can only wait now. Maybe we can rescue him properly in the future when we are done." After a slight pause, Gao Qi said: "If there is really any misfortune, I promise that I will help Your Highness find it in the future." Others are better.”

Li Xian raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

In the final analysis, Zhao Daosheng is just a plaything. Li Xian's understanding of the world is enough to fully control him.

Li Xian even believed that Zhao Daosheng could even die for him if necessary.

But it was just that. There was no owner in the backyard of the East Palace, which made Li Xian a little more arrogant. If it were in Chang'an, I'm afraid the courtiers in the palace would have already reported it.

"Stop talking about this." Li Xian turned his head, looked in the direction of Qianyang Palace, and said softly: "We only have one chance."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is going on in an orderly manner. As long as you are careful enough, I promise that Your Highness will not be disappointed." Gao Qi handed over his hand seriously.

Now that things have come to this point, Li Xian has no way out, and Gao Qi also has no way out.

After the East Palace Stables, three hundred armors will be delivered step by step by transporting official documents.

At the same time, on that critical day, someone will have the opportunity to sneak into the East Palace, go to the stables, and take out the armor.

As for weapons, Chang Chang, the treasurer of the East Palace, didn't have many, but Li Xian had a lot of swords and guns in his private collection.

But, even so, it is not easy for 300 people to capture the palace that is heavily guarded by thousands of people.

"The key is timing." Li Xian looked at Gao Qi and said softly: "If something is wrong, everything will be suspended and all personnel will be sent out of Luoyang. Luoyang has no chance of winning, so we will go to Chang'an."

"Yes!" Gao Qi nodded seriously.

Li Xian spoke again and said: "Go ahead and start preparing. July 21st is my father's birthday, so we must prepare the gifts properly."

"Yes!" Gao Qi's eyes flashed, he handed over his hand again, then turned around and left.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, the time he was going to take action was July 21st, the emperor's birthday.

It was either late August when we negotiated with the Turks, or July 21, less than two months ago.

On that day, it was much easier for Li Xian's men to enter the palace, and other weapons could be easily arranged. The key was that it was easy for him to go to Penglai Palace.

Compared with Chang'an Palace, Luoyang Palace is accessible from the East Palace to Xuanwu Gate, and from Xuanwu Gate to Penglai Hall.

As long as he can clear the level, Li Xian can reach Penglai Palace.

……

Under the night, Guanshi Xu inspected the palace and nodded from time to time when meeting other guards.

Manager Xu is not the core of Li Xiandong Palace, although it is because he is an old man who respected the emperor.

Li Xian respects him a lot, but doesn't trust him enough.

However, he was very familiar with the guards in the East Palace, and many of them were old men who had honored Emperor Li Hong when he was still alive.

A guard who passed by Manager Xu suddenly felt something in his hand.

Silently, the guard clenched his fists.

Soon, the night passed, and the guards left the palace, had breakfast in Beishi, and then went home to rest.

An hour later, outside the west gate, a fast horse rushed straight to Chang'an.

Then they rode out from Chang'an quickly, passing through Taozhou and Hezhou, and took a secret route to Changzhou.

Finally, we arrived at the foot of Tanggula Mountain.
