At this time, the Xuanwu Gate gathered 3,000 Chang'an soldiers, which filled the northern yamen. Xuanwu Gate was different from other city gates. It defended the important place, and it could accommodate more than a thousand elite soldiers between the outer city gate and the inner palace gate. However, even though the place was large and accommodated 3,000 soldiers, it was still a little smaller.

The leaders of these Chang'an soldiers were all General Lang, with more than a dozen of them belonging to the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess was extremely powerful, she might be the generals she could control and listen to her orders at critical moments. Other general-level generals could support her verbally. If the army was really mobilized, a general would not want to get on her ship in the court, and she would not drag an important figure into the water.

A large group of people rushed out of the city, and the generals saw it all very clearly. They were all panicked. In the original plan, there was no army outside the city to enter the city. Whose army belonged to, no matter who belonged to, it was definitely not the eldest princess, it might be from the King of Xiang or the King of Linzi. Anyway, these two princes were father and son, and no matter who they belonged to, they were the same.

A general of the Lang said, "Everyone, everyone, whose soldiers are? I think it shouldn't be the Second Prince, right?"

The generals were silent for a moment, but no answer. Everyone was still thinking about whose soldiers it was. In fact, there was nothing to think about. The eldest prince mainly had such a cavalry, so he must tell them in advance. Although the King of Xiang and the King of Linzi were not from the same faction as the generals of Lang, they had to tell them in advance if there was such a big change. After all, those more than a thousand cavalry were such a powerful force. If they did not attack the city gate, they could sweep away the Chang'an soldiers, whether they were fighting in the wild or entering the city to fight.

After a while, another general said, "Didn't the guards outside the city refuse His Highness the Princess? Why would he send people into the city and open the city gate? What's going on?"

One of the Lang Generals who was a little older said, "As long as our princess guards Xuanwu Gate well and don't care about the rest, we can just keep it in good condition. It's better to take care of other things less."

"Well, wouldn't it be bad if this cavalry is not ours? They have entered the city now. If they attacked from the city wall, we can't defend Xuanwu Gate. Those people are all cavalrymen. The city wall is so wide that they can run away!" A general immediately questioned.

The other generals looked ugly. The city walls in Chang'an can be said to be unique in the world. The city walls are high and thick, and it doesn't matter how high they are. They have entered the city, so what's the use of whether they are high or not, but now they are very fatal. If the cavalry entering the city were sent by their opponents, then such a wide city wall, the cavalry would definitely rush over, and twelve horses ran over side by side!

The older Lang general said, "Send someone to notify His Highness the Princess immediately, and send a few people to ask... Well, who is the team of those cavalrymen entering the city?"

The generals immediately took action and sent soldiers, but they did not dare to act without permission, so they could only wait for the princess' order, fearing that they would disturb the princess' original plan.

Yang Ze looked at Xuanwu Gate in the distance and thought to himself: "Even if you are fools over there, you know that the cavalry entering the city will not be theirs. However, the military officers in Chang'an City are too bureaucratic and do not react quickly enough. They still have to ask for instructions on what to do, which will waste a lot of time, but they will come after all. At least they will definitely come at dawn!"

Yang Ze called Gao Niuli too much and said, "Call a group of people to lead the horses to the city, and then ride the horses around the city, making some noises. If someone comes from Xuanwu Gate, then rush up and kill them. You don't have to be polite, and you should not show mercy!"

Gao Niuli hurriedly said, "I understand, so I will send someone to do this."

He immediately called a team of Bohai warriors and led their horses to the city wall. Then these Bohai warriors rode on their horses and ran around towards Xuanwu Gate, deliberately making noise. Although there was only one team of people, they made such a fuss, and the Chang'an soldiers in the entire Xuanwu Gate did not dare to move, which was equivalent to tying the main team of Chang'an soldiers.

Yang Ze lowered his head and asked Naicai: "Where did you say just now? Are you taking care of the emperor in the palace?"

Cai Cai said, "No, you didn't listen to me well just now. I have been taking care of the emperor's grandmother in the palace. What's there to say? I mean, my father returned to Chang'an and brought hundreds of soldiers from the west of the town back. Before he could enter the capital, he was ordered by the emperor's grandmother to not let him lead troops into the city, but only allowed him and my mother to enter the city by themselves."

Yang Ze said: "When the emperor issued an order, why don't you persuade him... Well, it's hard for you to persuade him to lead troops into the city. However, this should not be the emperor's intention, but... Let me guess, it should be the Wu Youren's intention, that is, the second prince's intention!"

The eldest princess and the prime minister Wang Linzi king did not care that Li Yan led his troops into the city. There were only a few hundred soldiers in the west of the town and could not enter the palace to live, so he could only find a place outside the palace. The eldest princess and the prime minister both had soldiers in their hands, so it was not difficult to deal with hundreds of soldiers in the west of the town. It just so happened that they would be easier to catch them all in one go. But Wu Youren was different. He had no soldiers in his hands, and the second prince had no soldiers. If Li Yan brought his troops into the city, he would not be able to defeat the eldest princess and the prime minister, but it would be enough to overwhelm him.

"The guess is accurate!" Cai Cai smiled and said, "It was Wu Youren's meaning. He slandered in front of the emperor's grandmother, saying that my father was like this. I was so angry that the emperor's grandmother listened to him, so I only let my father and mother enter the city. But Wu Youren didn't expect that because only my father and mother entered the city, they hid in the event of an accident tonight, and no one could find them, but they were safe."

Yang Ze said: "What happened tonight. It should be that the emperor was seriously ill. He wanted to write a will to pass on the throne, but people from all sides couldn't bear it. Well, let me guess, this will either not be written or it was burned. Anyway, there must be no real will in the palace now!"

Caicai's face turned dark at first. After all, he had been with Queen Dugu for a long time, and the two grandparents and grandchildren had already had a relationship. Queen Dugu was critically ill. It would be fake to say that she was not sad. If someone hadn't wanted to kill her, Caicai would definitely not have left Queen Dugu's side.

Cai Cai nodded and said, "Before the will was written, it was in chaos outside. Wu Youren was originally recruited into the palace, but I don't know where he ran to it. The eldest princess and my second uncle seemed to have started fighting. However, it was probably the eldest princess and his aunt who beat the second uncle. I have seen the second uncle. He looks like a fairy-like appearance and can fool people with his appearance."

She said that what happened tonight during this period was something Yang Ze could predict.

After the Second Prince returned to the capital, he presented the so-called immortal pill to Queen Dugu through Wu Youren. After Queen Dugu used it, she felt very good and could make her energetic. She knew that she would not be long before, so she would take the immortal pill. If it were in the past, the Second Prince would have to be blamed for her behavior. Even if she was her own son, she would not be lenient.

Moreover, the eldest princess and the Linzi King Li Zhenglong both knew what the elixir was, but they did not say that the King of Xiang was a filial son. He wanted to persuade him, but was dissuaded by the Princess and Li Zhenglong. He was not allowed to tell the Queen Dugu that the elixir was not good. The reason was very simple. With Queen Dugu's wisdom, can it still be seen that the elixir was poisonous? So the King of Xiang was not troublesome.

The Prince of Xiang understood in his heart that the eldest princess and Li Zhenglong wanted to wait for the toxicity of the immortal pill to be done, and then he would take this as a charge to kill the second prince and Wu Youren together. The second prince of some forces was killed, and the eldest prince had no power. Then the throne would fall on him in every possible way. He himself did not want to be the emperor, otherwise he would not have given up the throne to Queen Dugu at the beginning, but his son wanted to be the emperor. If he didn't become the emperor, how could Li Zhenglong become the crown prince? So he had to keep silent and let Queen Dugu take the immortal pill.

The second prince now believes that becoming an immortal is a devil, and no one listens to it. Wu Youren is a smart person. How could he not know the harm of immortal pills? He firmly believes that Empress Dugu himself also knows it, but before he is about to die, people often do some incredible things and want to use all means to extend their lifespan. This is one of them, so he offered immortal pills.

Wu Youren could also guess what the eldest princess and Linzi King Li Zhenglong were thinking. They must be thinking about using the excuse of using the immortal pill to liquidate themselves after the death of Queen Dugu, but he was not afraid because he obtained the privilege of entering the palace to report the right way. It was more convenient for entering the palace to see Queen Dugu than the eldest princess and Linzi King Li Zhenglong, which would make him know about Queen Dugu before Princess and Li Zhenglong.

In this way, as long as the Queen Dugu is unable to do it, there will be a great opportunity for him to draft the will. He can do anything when drafting the will and let the Queen Dugu make the second prince the emperor. As long as the second prince can become the emperor, no one will pursue the immortal elixir or not. With the will in hand, the eldest princess and Li Zhenglong can do anything else, and they can only accept their fate.

Of course, doing this is risky, but what you do is not dangerous? There is no good thing in this world that you can enjoy huge benefits without taking risks, so Wu Youren is willing to take this risk.

However, Wu Youren was a literati after all, which was different from Yang Ze’s work. Yang Ze was also taking risks to do things. When he was in Bohai, he would rather waste time and risked that Empress Dugu had passed away when he returned to Beijing and formed a team of dead soldiers who belonged entirely to him.

But Wu Youren did not do this. He had a complete literary mindset, believing that as long as the will is in hand, all problems can be solved. He did not consider the risk of the enemy using violence and launching a palace coup too thoroughly. He thought that the era of the palace coup was over!
