MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 32 Go to **** together
Chapter 32 Going to the Underworld Together
At midnight, Hongyi Palace Qin Wangfu.
Princess Qin's eldest grandson put on armor for her husband, put on a bow and knife, and watched her husband step out of the palace gate.
In front of the hall, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan and other generals of the Qin Palace had been waiting for a long time. Cheng Yaojin even began to scold his mother impatiently. The door of the palace opened slowly, and King Qin Li Shimin walked out slowly.
"King!"
Cheng Yaojin and a dozen other generals shouted together, all of them excited.
In an instant, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel his nose sour and his eyes hot. Looking at these strong men, Li Shimin immediately swept away all his worries, as if he had returned to the battlefield with thousands of troops.
Forcibly suppressing the emotional ups and downs in his heart, he quickly walked in front of the generals, and personally helped Yuchi Gongcheng Yaojin and the others up one by one, "Don't do this, everyone."
The impatient Cheng Yaojin said, "Your Majesty, please give me an order!"
Li Shimin stood up straight, swept across the generals with the posture of a king, and trembled with enthusiasm, "Whoever wants to live and die with me, Li Shimin, come with me!"
·······
"Aren't Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui here yet?"
In front of the hall, Li Shimin glanced over the generals, and frowned when he saw the two absent advisors.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was in charge of summoning Fang and Du, replied, "Fang and Du said that His Majesty's edict forbids them to serve the King of Qin any more, so they dare not come to visit the King in private, for fear of being convicted and die, so they don't Dare to follow the orders of the king."
Li Shimin froze for a moment.
"It was said earlier that Shu Bao betrayed the Lord and asked for glory, but in fact Shu Bao was loyal and went deep into the East Palace to find out important information for me. On the contrary, Fang Du and I have always relied on my confidants, but now they are betraying the Lord? Respect!"
The thick, black and burly Yuchi Jingde strode forward, "The end is here!"
Li Shimin took off his saber and handed it to him, "Take my sword and go to see the two of them. If they really don't want to come back, you can cut off their heads and come to me!"
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "I'll go with Jingde!"
At Fang Xuanling's mansion, Yuchi Jingde showed Li Shimin's saber.
Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "Actually, what I said to Ruhui, I just wanted to provoke King Qin. I was worried that King Qin's matter would come to an end, but I was hesitant. Now it seems that King Qin has made up his mind, which is just right."
They went to see Du Ruhui together, then changed into Taoist robes, and quietly returned to Prince Qin's mansion.
······
To the north of Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, the Forbidden Army Garrison Office.
Zuo Yiwei, the gate guard of the left prison, and the general of the Fuzhong Lang, Chang He, waved his hands, and the guards held a red lacquer plate covered with a piece of red cloth.
Chang He lifted the red cloth, revealing the forty golden knives inside.
The Forbidden Army Zuotunying Zhonglang General and Qianchang County Hou Jingjunhong asked with a smile, "Brother Chang, what do you mean?"
The dozens of generals and school staff in the hall were all staring at the golden knives.
Chang He said with a smile, "All of you here today are brothers from Tunshu. Many of you are old brothers of me and Brother Jing for many years. It is really not easy for us to fight north and south with us since Shandong. In the early years, I Brother Jing and I used to follow Duke Mi to fight side by side in Wagang, and later returned to the imperial court, and we both attacked Luoyang and fought against Hulao and Pingshan in Shandong under the command of King Qin, this is a friendship between life and death."
"Qin Wang is our old boss. He knows that we people have always been able to live overnight with a little money. We are used to spending money lavishly and don't know how to save money. But now we live in the capital, which is no different than before, and everyone is With a family, wife and children, the expenses are also high, and it is not easy to live on that little salary. Therefore, the King of Qin specially rewarded the gold to subsidize your family. You should not shirk today. Of course, if His Highness is useful in the future, brother Your place, you also can't prevaricate."
"Who dares to be ungrateful? Not only do I refuse to obey, but can all the brothers forgive me?"
The people in this hall today are actually the old subordinates of Chang He and Jing Junhong, most of them started in the grass, they have been under Chang Jing for many years, and they have all become school lieutenants. Regardless of the current position and official position, of course, these arrangements and transfers in secret are actually secretly arranged by King Qin Li Shimin, and everything is just for today.
All the captains smiled and stepped forward to take the golden knife.
Jing Junhong asked Chang He in a low voice, "Would you like to say hello to Lu Shiheng?"
Lu Shiheng is the general of the Youtun camp, and Chang He said, "He is timid, and it is better not to tell the secret things in advance, otherwise if he is too worried, it will be troublesome if he makes a mistake. When the time comes, I will pull him to do it together." that is."
"Brothers are betting the lives of the whole family this time." Jingjun Hong said.
"We will not fail, we are following King Qin, the Great Tang King Qin!" Chang He encouraged him.
·······
Hongyi Palace Qin Wangfu.
Gao Shilian said to Li Shimin, "Qin Shubao asked Qin Lang to tell him that he found out the details of the other party's arrangement. King Qi led a guard of soldiers and horses, and Yu Yifu was led by Xie Shufang to guard Qi Wangfu. Brother Feng Xu and Feng Li served as the supervisor of the Changlin Gate. He commanded two thousand Changlin soldiers. Xue Wanche led the East Palace and led three thousand soldiers to set up police camps at Kunming Lake."
"Also, Zhang Jieyu in the palace has already sent someone to secretly report to the Crown Prince about His Highness's visit to the palace today to report her filthy harem, but Qin Lang said that there is no need to worry, the Crown Prince and King Qi will enter the palace through the Xuanwu Gate as scheduled. "
Li Shimin nodded, "The information from Shubao and Ye is very timely."
"Your Majesty, Qin Lang also said that Shubao has agreed to let the soldiers and horses of the Qin Palace who were transferred to the Weishui camp to prepare for the Northern Expedition secretly dispatch a group of elites to sneak back to the vicinity of Chang'an."
"How much can the Xuanjia cavalry come back?" Li Shimin asked. The Xuanjia cavalry was once the most elite cavalry built by him.
"Qin Qiong can only mobilize so many of the 1,000-day plan army and 500 Xuanjia cavalry. These people's footholds are near the Xuanwu Gate, and they can come quickly when something happens."
"The time is too hasty. If it is the fifth day of the first lunar month, we can mobilize about 3,000 more soldiers and horses."
Li Shimin shook his head, "Time waits for no one. It is thanks to Shubao that we can add 1,500 new troops."
The discussion lasted until Haishi (21-23 o'clock).
The lights in Hongyi Palace are still brightly lit, and the eight hundred soldiers of Prince Qin’s Mansion have already put on their helmets. Princess Qin has tied red foreheads on each soldier’s helmet, and tied red scarves on their arms. .
The entire Hongyi Palace has been closed with three floors inside and three floors outside. The servants in the palace are not allowed to move around at will, only allowed to enter but not to exit.
Everyone knew what was going to happen, but they didn't even dare to take a breath.
In the hall, Li Shimin took out a pair of tortoise shells, ready to make a final fortune-telling.
The tall and burly Zhang Gongjin stepped forward, grabbed the tortoise shell and threw it on the ground, "Your Majesty, since you have already made up your mind, why do you still need to divination? If you find out the big culprit, don't you have to change your mind? Even if the king has changed his mind." , but will the Crown Prince and the King of Qi let the King go? Now that the momentum has come, please stop hesitating, Your Majesty!"
All the generals nodded in unison.
Li Shimin stood up, "Good or bad is uncertain, are you willing to take this risk with me, Li Shimin?"
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, "I have been following the king for so many years, can we share wealth, but now we cannot share adversity?" He turned around and looked at the generals, "Your Highness should treat us and these rough people, everyone should know , the soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, no matter how dangerous the situation is on the battlefield, has the King of Qin ever abandoned his brothers?"
All the generals said in unison, "Never!"
Yu Chigong laughed and said, "If any shameless person dares to betray the king at this time, a certain family will immediately take a sword and cut off his head to sacrifice the flag!"
"Okay, since everyone is willing to take the risk to advance and retreat with me, there is nothing to say. After the event is completed, wealth and honor will be shared. The people present today, regardless of literature and martial arts, no less than a prince, no less than 500 households."
All the generals shouted Long live King Qin.
Li Shimin took out the Tiance Bing Talisman and Order Talisman.
"Collselen!"
"The key tonight is all in the Xuanwu Gate. Inside the Xuanwu Gate is Chang He, and outside there is Jing Junhong. You and Qin Lang will control the Fanglin Gate and isolate the soldiers in the city. If the Xuanwu Gate is in a hurry, you will immediately reinforce it. If you are fine, you will guard Fanglin Gate, and I will send Wu Heita and Li Anyuan as your assistants, and I will listen to your restraint."
Grey-haired Gao Shilian accepted the command, Li Shimin said, "Uncle, you are old, and you shouldn't be troubled by such a charge, but now I am alone in Chang'an City, and there are not enough people, so I have to work hard for you."
Gao Shilian laughed and said, "I am indeed old, but Qin Lang Qin Sanlang, the son of Qin Qiong arranged by His Highness earlier, is young and promising, a formidable younger generation, and has the air of a general like Shubao. Tonight, he is at the front of the battle, and we It's good to be in the back. In fact, His Highness doesn't need to send Wu and Li Erjiang over, and now everyone is short of manpower, Qin Lang is enough for me!"
Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he agreed and withdrew the second general Wu Li.
"Fang Xuanling, this is the document authorizing you to take over the three provinces of the inner court and the twelve guards of the Southern Yamen. It has been stamped with the Shang Shuling and the seal of the twelve guards. I will send Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui, Zhou Xiaofan, and Pang Qing and Yun Si You, I will give you 200 troops, to go out of Yongan Gate at the second watch tonight, at the latest at the third watch, you must disarm the guards in the three provinces, cut off the inner court and the outside world, and control the seals of the three provinces, understand?"
Fang Xuanling, dressed in Taoist robes, stepped forward to receive the order.
"I will do it myself in the palace, and the imperial city will be handed over to you, Xuanling."
"Niu Jinda and An Yuanshou, each of you will lead 200 troops to monitor the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion. If they reinforce the Xuanwu Gate, you will immediately attack the East Palace. You must take down all the princes. To see the corpse."
"Du Ruhui, you are in charge of staying at Hongyi Palace Qin Wangfu. I will send Yuan Zhongwen and Qin Xingshi to lead a hundred people to assist you."
Du Ruhui said worriedly, "In this way, there will only be a hundred people around His Highness, and there are too few soldiers and horses."
"It doesn't matter, at the Xuanwu Gate, there are thousands of troops from Chang He Jingjunhong. In addition, Shubao also transferred back 1,500 Tiance soldiers and Xuanjiaqi for me."
Li Shimin glanced over the generals.
"Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili, Changsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junchuo, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengchang!"
Eleven people came out in response.
"You follow the king and lead a hundred warriors, and enter the imperial city through the Xuanwu Gate at the second watch tonight."
"Tomorrow, whether the brothers will go to the underworld together or share the wealth, depends on our success or failure tonight!"
All the generals went to prepare.
Li Shimin summoned Hou Junji to come forward alone, "After entering the palace tonight, Jingde and I ambushed the crown prince and King Qi at the Xuanwu Gate. Your Majesty will go to bed not far away in the Hall of Longevity. Just in case, you will take a hundred brothers and go straight to the palace." Palace of Eternal Life, you need to control that side immediately, do you understand?"
Hou Junji saw the determination in King Qin's eyes, and understood that this was the most critical step. If he couldn't control it, even if he killed the crown prince and King Qi, his success would still fall short.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, with someone here, I will guarantee that there will be no worries."
Brothers, please give some recommendation tickets, the new book seedlings need more care!
