Chapter 112: Calling the Emperor?(1/2)
"Okay, let's do it." Lu Zhaoci thought for a moment and nodded. Thousands of people from Xuanbichuan and Qi Palace have gathered in the East Palace and are attacking Xuanwu Gate non-stop. Lu Zhaoci soldiers
There are only five hundred horses, and there are only more than a thousand guards at Xuanwu Gate. It is impossible to gather more people and horses to protect themselves in a short period of time.
At this time, Li Yuan, who was waiting for the Li Jiancheng brothers and the three brothers in the Taiye Pond, did not know that the Xiao Qiang disaster was happening to the three brothers in the Xuanwu Gate at this moment. He was accompanied by Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda in Taiye.
Playing in the liquid pool, suddenly a man and horse flew from a distance, led by a military general, covered in blood, holding a long spear in his hand, and came straight towards the royal boat.
"It's Yuchi Gong." Li Yuan immediately recognized that it was Yuchi Gong, the reckless man.
"Your Majesty, Yu Chi, respectfully pays homage to Your Majesty." Yu Chi said in an angry voice, cupping his hands.
"General Yuchi is not in the General's Mansion, why are you here?" Li Yuan felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
"The King of Qin set up an ambush at the Xuanwu Gate and beheaded the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. After hearing the news, the general raised troops to protect him. He had already killed the King of Qin Li Shimin at the Xuanwu Gate. This is his head." Yuchi Gong snorted and took the sword from behind.
Li Shimin's head was thrown out. Li Shimin's head rolled to Li Yuan's feet.
"What, the people of the world are rebelling?" Li Yuan groaned and fell backwards. Fortunately, Chen Shuda and Pei Ji held him up.
"General Yuchi, you just said that King Qin ambushed the prince and King Qi at Xuanwu Gate? Where is the prince?" Xiao Yu asked nervously from the side.
"The general came late to escort him. When he arrived at Xuanwu Gate, His Royal Highness the Prince had been shot to death by an arrow from King Qin, and King Qi was also killed by his general Qin Qiong." Yu Chigong showed a trace of anxiety on his face and said:
"Now outside the Xuanwu Gate, the prince and King Qi's gang members don't know the truth. They think that King Qin and the general killed His Royal Highness the prince and King Qi and are attacking Xuanwu Gate. The general only has 500 guards around him, so he may not be their opponent. Still.
Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict as soon as possible to order the palace."
"Okay, what a great general." Li Yuan was comforted by Pei Ji and Chen Shuda. Li Yuan finally came back to his senses. The people sitting here were all mature people. At this moment, he understood the mystery.
.Emotionally, it is true that Li Shimin ambushed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji at Xuanwu Gate, but it is false that Lu Zhaoci later rescued them. I am afraid that he had been waiting aside for a long time, and finally reaped the benefits. But even if he understands, he can
So what? Lu Zhaoci took control of Zuo Lingwei's army, and seeing how Yuchi Gong walked around the palace unimpeded, it was obvious that Lu Zhaoci also had control of the Imperial Forest Army and Horses. In this way, the entire capital was under his control.
, the so-called deciding the situation early is just to get a reputation. Even if you, Li Yuan, don't give it to him, he will still find a way.
Li Yuan is so regretful! He guessed all Lu Zhaoci's actions, but he didn't guess that Lu Zhaoci would rebel, and he still used this method. Li Yuan is so hateful! He not only hates himself, but also hates his three sons.
.I hate myself for not getting rid of Lu Zhaoci earlier, which led to today's disaster. I also hate his three sons. If the three of you fight, it is also a fight between brothers. I didn't expect that the fight would reach the point of using knives and guns.
, a fight between life and death! In an instant, someone else made dumplings for you, and by the time you died, you still had not gained a good reputation.
"Publish the decree. King Qin Li Shimin conspired to rebel and killed the prince and the king of Qi. He jointly ordered the general Lu Zhaoci to clean up the rest of the party. All civil and military officials in the capital are under his jurisdiction. It is your honor. Shuda, you go and declare the decree!" Li Yuan's face turned gray.
, his eyes were tightly closed, and he said coldly. Chen Shuda who was beside him quickly drafted the imperial edict, and after ordering someone to use Yu Wang, he followed Yuchi Gong to declare the edict without mentioning it.
"The traitor, the traitor, the Tang Dynasty was defeated by his hands." Behind Yuchi Gong, Li Yuan hit him hard on the thigh, but he was filled with hatred. Obviously, he attributed all the sins to him.
As for Li Shimin, he thought that if Li Shimin hadn't raised troops to ambush Xuanwu Gate, Lu Zhaoci would not have been able to seize this opportunity and wipe out all the Li clan's direct descendants.
Indeed, as Chang He said, after Chen Shuda arrived with the imperial edict, the guards of the Prince's Palace immediately stopped attacking Xuanwu Gate. Just when Lu Zhaoci was about to breathe a sigh of relief, someone suddenly shouted from the city: "King Qin, kill me."
Prince, the palace must be empty, so I went to take the palace of Prince Qin to avenge His Highness." There was a roar, and suddenly thousands of soldiers and horses rushed towards Prince Qin's palace to kill.
Chen Shuda's expression changed, and he pulled Lu Zhaoci's sleeve and prayed: "General, although this King of Qin is seeking his own destruction, he is still a nobleman of the royal family. If these ruffians captured the Qin King's Mansion, they will definitely kill the imperial family.
You are a noble man, and it is disgraceful to the royal family. Please ask the general to stop you.
"General, you win this time." At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was captured on the side, also said: "As long as the general can save a trace of King Qin's blood, I, Cheng Yaojin, am willing to surrender. Cheng Yaojin is also a rough and talented person."
As a fine person, when Wang Gang saw that Lu Zhaoci only killed Li Shimin and not himself and others, he naturally knew what Lu Zhaoci was thinking, so he had no choice but to speak out himself.
"As long as the general can guarantee the bloodline of the King of Qin, Qin Qiong is also willing to surrender." Then Qin Qiong, Zhang Gongjin and other generals of the Qin Palace also spoke out. These people felt Li Shimin's feelings and had to surrender in order to save a trace of Li Shimin's bloodline.
"Okay." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile on his face: "It is my blessing, Lu Zhaoci, and the court's fortune to be able to win the submission of all the generals. Respect your virtue, and take the generals to Xiuxian County first. Zhaoying, order
Zuo Yaowei's army closed all the city gates of Chang'an, Chang'an, and the army marched towards the palace of the Prince of Qin to suppress the rebellion. Anyone who resisted was killed."
"Yes." Lu Zhaoying's black face turned red. I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. He killed all three people here in one fell swoop. You can see that from now on, the Lu family will come to the forefront of history. Isn't Lu Zhaoying feeling proud?
When Qin Qiong and others saw this, they sighed deeply and followed Yuchi Gong to the Linhu Palace not far away to rest.
Chen Shuda on the side was clear-minded, seeing that Lu Zhaoci had taken the generals in Prince Qin's palace as his own again. His expression changed slightly, and his mouth opened. But he didn't speak. He just looked back gently and stood, Li Lu
There is still one step left to follow. He knows that from today on, this young general will no longer be a general. Maybe he will be able to move towards a position that everyone in the world aspires to. Maybe he can get to where he is today.
to this point. Wearing the royal robe is not only because of his talent and family background, but also because he understands the ups and downs of the officialdom.
"How is your father feeling?" Chen Shuda was in a daze when suddenly Lu Zhaoci's question came softly to his ears.
"Father?" Chen Shuda was stunned. Then he remembered that Lu Zhaoci had another identity, that is, he was Li Yuan's son-in-law. When he thought of this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty is in good health and should return to Tai Chi Palace at this time. General
Want to see His Majesty?"
"Forget it for now, Chang'an City has not stabilized yet. It will not be too late to go see you after it stabilizes." Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let Lu Zhaoci come to see me. Suddenly
A cold voice came over. Chen Shuda glanced secretly and saw who it was if it wasn't Princess Pingyang. He complained secretly and was about to leave.
"It would be best for Mr. Chen to be here. I would like to trouble you to tell Princess Pingyang about King Qin's rebellion." Lu Zhaoci's slightly cold voice suddenly came to my ears again.
"This?" Chen Shuda's old face froze, with a trace of embarrassment on his face. Everyone knew why Li Xiuning came to see Lu Zhaoci at this time. But there was nothing he could do. At this time, who knew what Lu Zhaoci was thinking
Whether it was forcing Li Yuan to abdicate or doing Cao Cao's deeds. No matter what it was, there was no escaping the fact that the Tang Dynasty had entered the Lu Zhaoci era. All major and minor affairs in the court were in charge of Lu Zhaoci.
Zhang. Chen Shuda cannot offend this person. Once the emperor and his courtiers, Chen Shuda still understands this truth very well.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chen Shuda had no choice but to walk towards Princess Pingyang and bowed respectfully.
"Master Chen, are you also involved in this matter?" Princess Pingyang's almond-shaped eyes were red. She lived in the palace. When she heard the cry of killing, she was ready to dispatch the imperial army. However, she found that Ma Sanbao and Ma Sanbao, who were usually very respectful to her,
He and Panren turned a blind eye to their orders, and instead placed themselves under house arrest in the palace. They released themselves only when the overall situation was decided. She was alert and casually ordered a palace guard to roughly figure out the matter.
Even if I beat him to death, she wouldn't believe that it was her lover who caused this situation.
"Princess, Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict. The King of Qin has rebelled and killed his brother, deposing the King of Qin. At the same time, he ordered the general to take charge of everything in the capital." Chen Shuda said cautiously: "Your Highness, the overall situation has been decided."
Li Xiuning listened to Chen Shuda's words that were half persuasion and half threat, and her delicate body trembled with anger. No longer caring about Chen Shuda's face, she pushed Chen Shuda away. She walked to Lu Zhaoci and sneered: "What should the general do now?
? Kill all the members of my Li family, and then ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor. Or, perhaps, let the father give you a blessing. Humph, Lu Zhaoci. If it weren't for the father, how could you be in today's situation. The current general of the dynasty. Linfen
Prince, my father will marry his daughter to you, tell me how I, the Tang Dynasty, have failed you, Lu Zhaoci."
"Princess, if I don't resist, I will be the one who will die." Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "Have you seen the situation today? That's not what I want. It was your brother Li Shimin who personally controlled it. He wanted to kill
Brother forced father, but I just got an advantage from behind. Humph, even your father hates me at this time, but his son, and even himself. If King Qin comes to power, he will not let go
The one who lost me as a general, in his heart, his subordinate Hou Junji is far more valuable than me as a general. If King Qin loses, King Qi will also kill me.
Even if King Qi won't kill me, your father will kill me because he has wanted to kill me for a long time. Your Royal Highness, if this were you, what would you do?
"You, you just made an excuse to make excuses for your ambitions." Li Xiuning's face was cold and cold, and she sneered: "All heroes have been like this since ancient times. They made excuses for their ambitions. Humph, I'm lucky to be like that.
I believe you. Even the Royal Forest Army was bribed without knowing it. Ma Sanbao and He Panren are now your subordinates. You don't even come to report such a big thing to me. It's really good, Lu Zhaoci, you hide it so deeply.
I guess I misjudged you and ignored Lu Zhaoci as he said this, and walked slowly down the tower.
"Hey!" Lu Zhaoci looked at the retreating figure and sighed deeply. He would not have reached this point if he had not been forced to play, but who can blame him? This is what Li Yuan asked for.
, if I hadn’t wanted to kill myself many times, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have done this.
"General, the city of Chang'an is about to be pacified. General, when do you think you will ascend the throne?" Chen Shuda asked cautiously.
"Ascend the throne? Become the emperor?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with confusion. Does this mean he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor? Lu Zhaoci felt confused for the first time since he came to this world. Chen Shuda on the side also looked at this. The young man
The general is not only well-versed in strategy, but also in scheming. Look, in this situation, he actually plotted all four of Li Yuan and his son. He defeated more than a dozen counselors in one fell swoop and won the final victory. He was simply not a human being, but a general.
A monster.
"What do Mr. Chen think?" Lu Zhaoci suddenly asked.
"General, although Chang'an is stable, it has not yet stabilized outside of Chang'an. I think it is better not to proclaim the emperor for the time being." Chen Shuda looked at Lu Zhaoci cautiously and said.
"This matter will be dealt with after Chang'an is stabilized!" Lu Zhaoci did not object, but he also did not agree, and there was no strange look on his face. Chen Shuda felt uneasy, but not good.
Asked again, only to stand behind Lu Zhaoci honestly.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Shuda only felt a numbness in his thighs and a soreness in his waist. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the tower, and he saw Lu Zhaoying and Yuchi Gong leading a young captain over. His expression at the moment
I was shocked. Knowing that the overall situation in Chang'an City had been decided, Lu Zhaoci really became the final winner.
"I've met my brother, teacher, and general." Lu Zhaoying and the other three said to Lu Zhaoci.
"How is the situation?" Lu Zhaoci asked calmly.
"Replying to my brother, Chang'an City has initially stabilized, and Zuo Huwei's army is patrolling various important roads. I don't think there will be any big problems. Is it just the Prince of Qin's Palace?" Lu Zhaoying's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"What's wrong with King Qin?" Chen Shuda asked seriously.
"The Prince of Qin's Mansion was captured by Feng Li and others. Hou Junji died in battle, and not a single Xuanjia cavalry was left. Even Prince Chengqian, Prince of Qin's son, was killed by the rebels. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise even Li Ke would have died.
They were about to be killed. In this way, Changsun Kaiji and others, who had barely saved one of Qin Wang Qiuji's blood, were shocked by Guan Lu Zhaoyu and said with a face.
"Where are Feng Liang, Feng Li and the others?" Chen Shuda said with a look of resentment on his face.
"They escaped in the chaos of the army." Yuchi Gong snorted coldly: "These guys are really good at escaping."
"Forget it, I'm tired, let's go back home first!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "Master Chen has been standing for a long time, so go back and rest first! In the future, I will have to bother an important minister like you with the government affairs in the future.
!”
"Old minister, thank you for your kindness. I will take my leave first." Chen Shuda finally felt relieved after hearing this. In front of the powerful Lu Zhaoci, Chen Shuda did not dare to show any slightness. Before leaving, he actually used the courtesy of paying homage to the emperor.
He knelt down and then slowly retreated.
"Brother, when are you going to proclaim yourself emperor?" Lu Zhaoci got on the carriage, and Lu Zhaoying asked impatiently. Qin Yong and Yu Chigong on the other side showed a hint of excitement on their faces. They had never thought about rebellion.
