The fifth update is to give qixiaoyege a 20,000 yuan bonus! Thank you brothers for your subscription, thank you for your monthly ticket! There is another update tonight!

February 25, the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty.

Inside Xuanwu Gate.

It was not early, but the sun was still stuck by thick clouds.

The solid Xuanwu Gate isolates the outside, making the Xuanwu Gate a little quiet. The spring is chilly, but the people standing there are all sweating.

The footsteps sounded from top to bottom, and Li Shimin walked down quickly with a crossbow.

Li Chao and nine generals hurriedly saluted.

"Hahaha, I knew you would come, I knew!" Li Shimin's face was flushed and he patted Li Chao's shoulder excitedly, "I knew that it was just like when I was in Longxi City, I knew you would come."

"The last general promised that Your Highness would come, even if he climbed, he would climb here!"

Li Chao, this flatterer, made Li Shimin feel very comfortable. Such a subordinate is so loyal to protect his master.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Shimin swept over the eight generals behind Li Chao.

The eight generals inside the Xuanwu Sect and nine generals outside the Sect, these two groups of people can be said to have laid the foundation for today's success.

"Your Highness, it's not the time to relax. Yang Mao and six generals were leading 30,000 imperial guards to come. General Liu Hongji was still fighting to the death. Please give me an order to go to the Haichi to protect the enemy!" Li Chao bowed and asked for the order.

Li Shimin originally wanted to go to Haichi to meet the emperor in person, but now when Li Chao said that, he felt that his thoughts were a bit inappropriate, and it was really not good to force the palace directly.

"Okay, I personally guard the Xuanwu Gate to prevent the prince from robbing the gate and entering the palace. Sanlang, you and the generals immediately go to Jinghai to protect the guards, and you must protect His Majesty's safety."

Li Chao nodded to Li Shimin, "I will protect Your Majesty completely and ask Your Majesty for a decree!"

Controlling Li Yuan and then forcing Li Yuan to issue an imperial edict were all their plans after discussing. Not only were there thousands of people in the palace, but there were also the emperor's 60,000 imperial guards.

They took risks, which was equivalent to a sudden beheading operation. After attacking the palace, they had not won yet, so they could only say that they had won more than half of it. They had to control the emperor, let the emperor issue an edict, and order the imperial guards of the capital to accept the control of Li Shimin, and then the people from the Qin Palace took over the military power one by one. That was the real safety.

Time is very precious now, and every minute and every second determines success or failure.

Li Chao refused to let Li Shimin go to Haichi. First, when Xuanwu Gate came, someone needed to guard himself to prevent people from rushing in. Second, Li Shimin went to force the palace himself, and his reputation was not good. If Li Yuan used great justice to suppress Li Shimin and Li Shimin refused to follow, it would be unfaithful and unfilial. If he followed, he would be finished.

At this time, it is better to let Li Chao and other ministers go down to force the palace. There is no family affection to talk about, and the emperor should be more concerned.

They have discussed the worst possibility. If they really reach that point, they can only use the strong in the end, and even do not hesitate to forge an edict. If the emperor does not agree, there will always be a prime minister who agrees.

"Sanlang, I'll wait for good news!" Li Shimin said, holding Li Chao's arm.

"Please calm down and Jiayin!"

Li Chao shook his cloak, took Yuchi Gong Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin Jindao and Daluo Shixin and other eight generals boarded again, and led a hundred personal soldiers directly to the sea pool.

When you enter Xuanwu Gate, you will see Linhu Hall not far away. After passing Linhu Hall, you will see Haichi.

There are several large lakes here, one of which is called Haichi. At this time, Li Yuan was rafting in the lake.

Several groups of people were racing against time.

General Li Chaojiu led his troops to speed in, and the eunuchs in the palace were in chaos and avoided everywhere.

"Who dares to ride a horse in the palace and get off the horse quickly!"

A Qianniuwei shouted loudly and pressed his hand to block the road with his Qianniu knife.

Yuchi Gong shouted loudly, urged his horse to step forward, raised his horse's spear, and directly pierced the Qianniu Guard through his chest with the spear. The Qianniu Guard didn't understand until his death, what happened to all this.

"If anyone dares to block the way, die!" Yuchi Gong sprayed a lot of blood on his body. His black face and blood were even more like a black evil god!

Kill people to establish authority!

The effect is immediate.

There are still quite a lot of Qianniu Guards in Tai Chi Palace, including Qianniu, Qianniu, and Qinxunyi Inner Guards. But these people are also divided into shifts, and some are also responsible for guarding the palace gates of Daniuli. There are not many guards who are really with the emperor, and these guards are basically the children of nobles.

Among them are the children on the Qin Palace, and there are still many.

Therefore, Li Chao rushed in with a group of killing gods and entered the flock of sheep with tigers.

Before the fight started, many guards came to recognize their relatives first.

The remaining prince Qi's house and some of the children of neutral ministers were still not sure about the situation and were already at a disadvantage. Yuchi Laohei was even more furious. He dared to hesitate to block the road, and he immediately stabbed him with a spear.

No matter whether your father is a Duke or your grandfather is a Shangshu!

Li Chao was too lazy to care about it at this time. He had only one goal. He rushed to Haichi as soon as possible, control the emperor as soon as possible, and get the emperor's edict as soon as possible.

Every time I delay a minute, I don’t know how many people will die.

If the time is delayed in the end and Li Yuan's imperial guards arrive to protect the enemy, it will not be a matter of how many people die, but Li Chao and the others will die.

A dead fellow Taoist is better than a dead friend!

On the sea pond and above the dragon boat, Li Yuan's face turned pale just after receiving the urgent report.

"Chang'an is in chaos!"

Pei Ji and a group of prime ministers and officials who were waiting to judge Li Shimin were stunned, "Is Chang'an in chaos?"

In fact, the urgent report sent here has not yet been clarified. They do not know that Li Shimin has entered the palace, nor do they know that Li Jiancheng's brothers were arrested by Li Shimin.

"The East Palace Guards fought with the Yulin Army in the Tunying Camp of Xuanwumen, and the Yulin Army was defeated. The Zuoyi Guard General Li Chao led more than 2,000 foreign soldiers to Xuanwu Gate and fought with the East Palace, the Qi Prince's Mansion and the North Gate Imperial Guard, and are still in the battle."

"There are about 3,000 people, including Panshixing, Yang Mao and six generals, intercepted the Qinwang Mansion soldiers and servants led by many generals on Zhuque Street. The people of the Qinwang Mansion claimed to be the prince's rebellion, and they came to protect the emperor. At present, General Fan Shixing and the two sides of the Qinwang Mansion were rushing to Xuanwu Gate together..."

After reading the urgent report, Pei Ji was also stunned.

What do you mean by what? Who rebels?

If we only look at the information above, the rebels should be the Eastern Palace and King Qi, because their palace soldiers first attacked the Yulin Army stationed outside Xuanwu Gate.

But the Northern Gate Imperial Guard who arrived later was Emperor Yuan Cong, but in the end he joined forces with the palace soldiers and fought with the foreign army led by Li San who claimed to have come to protect the enemy.

Several other imperial guards intercepted thousands of people from the Qin Prince's Mansion on Zhuque Street.

It was completely messed up, but they still couldn't figure out the situation.

"Your Majesty, immediately order the palace gate to be closed, locked, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. The twelve guards will be ordered to be warned immediately by Chang'an."

Several prime ministers quickly discussed countermeasures, and the countermeasures were undoubtedly to keep the palace safe first, and then slowly clean up the turmoil in the city.

Li Yuan's face looked very ugly. He had already had a clear understanding in his heart. His sons finally started to kill, and they came directly at the palace. This was the rhythm of trying to clean up him first.

"Dang, go back to Tai Chi Hall!" Li Yuan ordered.

The ship slowly leaned towards the shore. As soon as Li Yuan and his party got ashore, Li Chao led his men and horses to arrive with murderous aura.

Li Chao directly surrounded Li Yuan and his party.

Li Yuan's heart was trembling, but he still had to pretend to be extremely calm on the surface and asked, "Wen Yuan, what happened?"

Li Chao dismounted, stepped forward a few steps, and saluted Li Yuan.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince and the King of Qi are plotting rebellion and lead the palace troops to attack Xuanwu Gate. After hearing the news, the King of Qin immediately ordered the generals in the capital to serve the king. The last generals came late to protect the emperor, so please punish him!"

"The prince and the king of Qi rebelled?"

“That’s right.”

"Where are the crown prince and the King of Qi? Where are the King of Qin?" Li Yuan asked.

"The prince and the King of Qi have been captured by His Highness of Qin. His Highness of Qin are currently guarding Xuanwu Gate to defend against the attacks of the rebellious palace soldiers and the rebellious Northern Gate Guards."

Li Yuan's face was as white as paper, "Dalang Silang and the others are still alive?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although the prince and the King of Qi led the troops to rebel, the King of Qin only temporarily tied them up after capturing them. Looking back, he will leave them to His Majesty for disposal."

Li Yuan looked at Li Chao, then at the group of people behind him, many of which were familiar faces, and even many palace guards who were on duty.

He saw through everything.

It was not the prince's rebellion, but the King of Qin.

At this time, Yuchi Gong directly took a horse spear and walked forward a few steps to Li Yuan. He was still covered in blood, emitting a strong smell of blood.

"The soldiers of the palace are still in chaos. Please ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict and order all troops to accept the Qin King's handling, so that the rebellion can be pacified soon."

Li Yuan ignored Yuchi Gong.

He looked at his important officials, "What do you think you should do when things have come to this point?"

Pei Ji, like Li Yuan, understood the truth of the incident, and succeeded and defeated the enemy. The King of Qin, who initiated the rebellion, had already succeeded. He captured the crown prince alive and controlled the emperor, and it was too late.

The two prime ministers, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, were quite biased towards Li Shimin. At this time, they could not understand the truth of the situation. They followed the trend and said, "Jiancheng and Yuanji were jealous of the Qin King's merits and planned a conspiracy together. Now the Qin King has captured them. If Your Majesty can make the Qin King the crown prince, it will be fine."

Qin Qiong walked out at this time and said to Li Yuan, "Please ask Your Majesty to make the King of Qin the crown prince, and ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to the army in Chang'an to wait for the King of Qin to control it!"

Li Yuan looked at Qin Qiong and was still hesitating.

Qin Qiong said again, "Please abolish and build the King of Qin!"

Li Yuan also knew that he had become the meat on the chopping board now, and he could only tell the current affairs, "I have had this idea!"

Seeing Li Yuan admitting his defeat, Yuchi Gong said bluntly, "Please issue an edict immediately!"

No matter whether Li Yuan wants to write this edict or not, he can only write it.

In a hurry, someone asked someone to take a pen and ink, and wrote a handwritten edict in a hurry.
