Chapter 008 Blocking the entry into the city

At this time, when I was inquiring about the guard and the eunuch, Ding Yi and Li Yuanji realized that when Li Shimin was ambushing, the emperor spread the word that he ordered the imperial guards and eunuchs to be on duty. The battles near the Linhu Hall of Xuanwu Gate were not allowed to be watched. Those who violated the orders were killed immediately, so everyone had to pretend not to see them.

Li Yuanji was furious and sad. He shook his hand a few times before he stood still again. He knelt on the ground and held his head with his hands in his voice. His voice was sad: "The father is dead, the father is dead, the father is dead, the father must have been assassinated by the thief Li Shimin, otherwise he would not have such an order!" He became tired and pitiful. He suddenly looked up and his eyes were bleeding and tears: "Emperor Queen Tu, you can kill this evil seed by divine thunder. Why did my Li family make such a thing?"

Several eunuchs knelt in front of the door, trembling and pale. When they shouted and shouted from Xuanwu Gate and ranting horses, they knew that something big had happened in the imperial city. When they heard Li Yuanji's crying, they felt even more dangerous and felt like they could never recover. They could not hear the bloody battle for the throne of the royal family.

"Pick up, blood feud should be washed with blood, not the time for sadness!"

"Yes, the imperial city has been lost. Let's kill all the Qin Wang family!" Li Yuanji stood up and gritted his teeth.

Several eunuchs guards were shaking like sieve, and they were even more afraid. There were several palace maids and eunuchs in the distance watching from afar and did not dare to step forward.

Li Shimin is so young, killing all the family is useless, and it is useless. Ding Yi secretly regrets that if he had separated Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, the wolf-toothed spear was slightly subdued, and now the other party has already had corpses. He asked about the situation in the imperial city of the guards, and then after the explanation of Li Yuanji and the gatekeeper, he realized that the imperial city was vast. The north was the Taiji Palace, the Yeting Palace, and the East Palace, and the south was the official office, including the Taimiao, the general was the supervisor, the Honglu Temple, the Taichang Temple, the Shangshu Province, etc., and the emperor's residence

Tai Chi Palace, on the west side is the Yeting Palace where the palace maids and the eunuchs are located, and on the east side is the East Palace where the prince lives. The three palaces are connected by courtyard gates. Of course, there are many courtyards in the palace, and the gates are all slightly farther from the north and south sides. The prince and others come to see the emperor most of the time they walk around and enter from the north gate Xuanwu Gate. The current Yeting Palace is located in the north and the eunuchs province in the south. Ding Yi asked: "How many troops are there between Taicang and the eunuchs province?" He wondered if he could use the power to fight, and take advantage of Li Shimin's busy with internal affairs to gather some troops.

Li Yuanji said: "The eunuchs are all eunuchs, and Taicang is full of big rats. These people are still able to maintain order, and they are useless to be useful and cannot win the battle." The three Li brothers are all people of both civil and military affairs. They have all been commanders and have been on the battlefield. Their judgment of the quality of the army should be convincing.

Since these people were useless, Ding Yi ordered several guards: "When you go and inform the provincial and various departments that the Qin King Li Shimin killed the throne, please let the department decide to stop by themselves!" Ding Yi thought clearly that Li Shimin would immediately obtain the jade seal and could declare the imperial edict. Emperor Li Yuan and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng were all dead, and the side had nowhere to leverage the power. The situation was so bad that it could not be broken. Then add fire and make the situation more complicated, at least add some variables to Li Shimin's seizure of power.

The guards kept kowtowing to the eunuch: "If a young man was ordered to guard the gate, he would be punished with a beheading, and he would not leave for a moment." The heads were bleeding, and they didn't want to and dared not participate. They would push if they could, and would drag if they could.

Li Yuanji stepped forward and drew a horizontal knife from the waist of his guard and wiped it. A bloodline appeared in the throat of the guard, and a slight bleeding bead oozed. Li Yuanji shouted: "You don't go quickly, I dare to refuse again, and all of them will be killed!" The guard's face turned pale, touching his neck was incredible: "I'm not dead yet?" Then he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and fainted.

The few people jumped up and ran away in fear. Ding Yi shouted, "Come back, carry this person away!" The few people looked at the faces of the two of them carefully, and came back to carry the faint guard, and ran away.

Li Yuanji smiled bitterly at Ding Yi: "I can only bully a few young men. Let's go to the Qin Palace. With the strength of the general, I will definitely kill all the Qin King's wife and young men." Li Yuanji was obsessed with Li Shimin told him that he wanted to kill all the male members of his and Li Jiancheng family. If he failed to seize power, he would kill people to vent his anger. He didn't want to ask about Ding Yi's origin. He thought Ding Yi was the man of his elder brother Li Jiancheng. Now Jiancheng is dead, and this person is fighting to the death. Nothing can better prove the loyalty of this person.

How can we escape from the center in a coup? That is the way to die! Ding Yi said in a cold voice: "The King of Qi is not afraid of death, how dare you seize the Xuanwu Gate with me?" Yuchi Jingde led a large group of people to the south. Xuanwu Gate was on the north side, so the troops should be empty at this time.

Li Yuanji's eyes were lit in front of him: "There are more than 2,800 Changlin Army soldiers in the Eastern Palace, all of which are selected as soldiers. It can be of great use. If you seize the Xuanwu Gate and lead the army to confront Li Shimin, there is still a chance!" Li Yuanji didn't know that most of the Changlin Army had dispersed, and there was still a chance at this time. He was very happy at the moment. Taiji Palace City, only four miles east and west, and it was definitely time to lead troops to attack, but Li Yuanji was a little worried about gains and losses: "There are nearly a thousand soldiers guarding Xuanwu Gate, and I'm afraid I can't take them down!"

"How can I know if I don't try it? With your identity and my martial arts, I just need to kill the defenders and seize the military power and snatch the door!" Ding yi knew nothing about the situation of Xuanwu Gate, but if he didn't fight at this time, there would be no chance of victory. Li Shimin was not in Xuanwu Gate, and Li Yuanji's identity as King of Qi could be borrowed, and there was a high chance of success.

Li Yuanji shouted happily: "General Ding, if he can seize the Xuanwu Gate and kill Li Shimin, the Lone King will share wealth and honor with you, and his descendants will live with the country!" At this moment, Li Yuanji finally knew that he would make a wish. Ding Yi smiled and said nothing, he would go home. If he wanted to be an official, he would do it in the Han Dynasty.

When they said that, they used their light skills and headed straight for Xuanwu Gate.

The sound of killing in the Tai Chi Palace shook the sky, which spreads inside the Tai Chi Palace, causing fear in the palace. The south of the Tai Chi Palace is still quiet and peaceful.

Early in the morning, outside the Zhuque Gate on the south side of the imperial city, several ministers bowed to each other and prepared to enter the city together.

These ministers are Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Lun, Dou Dan, and Yan Shigu. They had questions in their hearts. There was no court meeting today, but they were said to have entered the Tai Chi Palace, saying that there was something to discuss, and they were confused. You must know that Li Yuan had few ministers in the inner court. Even if he was summoned, he would only have two trusted ministers talking about some private matters. Today, he suddenly asked everyone to get up. This matter was a bit unusual.

These people have special identities. Pei Ji was the Sikong of the Three Dukes, Lun and Deyi were the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Prime Minister, Chen Shuda was the Minister of Rites, Xiao Yu was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dou Dan was the Minister of Taichang, Yan Shigu was the Minister of Living, and a famous Confucian scholar. Just look at this list and you will know that there are major events.

"Let's go!" Two people walked gracefully on the avenue. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were fluttering in their sleeves, with a superb appearance and a floating appearance, as if they were among gods.

Several ministers stopped and stared at the two of them cautiously to see what they had to say.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng bowed slightly, with a serious expression and said, "Listen to me. I watched the sky at night, and the purple stars were dark, and a guest star was in conflict, which was very unfavorable to the emperor! This morning, in the palace, the blood was full of blood and murderous aura soared into the sky. I counted on my fingers, and the emperor was in the Yuan Dynasty and the prince were built, all of which were harmed by the King of Qin! Listen to my words, it is not appropriate to enter the palace at this time."

"Yi Sect nonsense, I don't say anything about strange powers and magic!" Yan Shigu didn't believe it at all, and hummed, entered the Zhuque Sect first, strode forward without hesitation at all!

Dou Dan is the son-in-law of the Emperor Li Yuan. The Li family are all relatives. They pondered a little. Taichangqing was in charge of the etiquette of heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts, and good or bad luck. He believed in Yuan Tiangang. Because of his faith, he was worried about the chaos in the inner court and bowed to everyone, and gave Yuan Tiangang's eyes blank: "I'll take the first step!" He followed Yan Shigu and left.

Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda have always had a good impression of Li Shimin, and Xiang also felt that Li Shimin might have a very good move. He would not be a minister of the dragon at this time. When did it happen? The two looked at each other and said to Yuan Tiangang: "No matter whether what you said is true or false, as ministers of the Tang Dynasty, we should do a loyalty to the emperor. The Lord ordered us to enter the court today, and we must appear in time and say goodbye!" The two walked into the Zhuque Gate together.

The palace wars started, Pei Ji and Feng Lun and Deyi, the two of them believed that Li Shimin's sinisterness and courage, would inevitably start a massacre of killing in the palace. The emperor and the prince were safe and unspeakable. They didn't know who was more trustworthy about the twelve guards in Chang'an City, and they even spoke in unison: "I'll go back and make some preparations!" They turned around and got on their horses, ran home, and the followers ran up.

Li Chunfeng asked Yuan Tiangang in surprise: "Is this useful?"
