Chapter 119 Leave no one behind
Li Shimin listened to Changsun Wuji's suggestion and issued twelve imperial edicts in one day to summon Li Zhen back to Chang'an.
On the surface, Li Zhen was allowed to discuss matters, but in fact, it was just to deprive Li Zhen of his military power and control Li Zhen.
Although some military generals are a little dissatisfied, military generals are high officials in wartime but do not have any real power in peacetime, and they are powerless in this regard.
Li Jing was seriously ill again, and Yuchi Jingde and Li Ji led their troops to station outside. Therefore, in a short period of time, there was no objection from the court.
For the sake of power, Li Shimin, instigated by Changsun Wuji, prepared to control Li Zhen.
This also creates a deadlock. If Li Zhen resists the order, he will rebel. If he returns to Chang'an according to the order, he will lose all power. From now on, he may have to stay in the high wall for the rest of his life.
And with Li Zhen¡¯s achievements, the next emperor may not be able to tolerate him, and Li Zhen¡¯s end will be tragic.
So far, Li Zhen has not thought of a way to break the situation. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all under the control of Changsun Wuji. Li Zhen's idea of ??breaking the situation is simply a fantasy.
Li Zhen was well aware of this, but he had no choice.
A month later, Li Zhen returned to Chang'an. At this time, it was already June of the 18th year of Zhenguan.
In the middle of summer, the temperature in Chang'an was surprisingly hot. There was no wind in the sky. The weeping willows on the roadside were drooping their heads listlessly. Li Zhen felt that every time she took a breath, her body was burning. She was sweating and the heat was uncomfortable. .
Such a hot day, unless it rains, is really unbearable.
Arriving outside Chang'an City, Li Zhen saw a large eunuch leading a group of people running over.
The eunuch said in a high-pitched voice: "The emperor has decreed that Li Zhen enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor. In order not to alarm the people, the accompanying soldiers stayed in the barracks outside Chang'an City to wait."
Li Zhen's heart moved and she said, "Father-in-law, I will only bring a few followers in."
"The emperor has said that Xue Rengui and other generals and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry are not allowed to enter Chang'an and immediately enter the barracks outside the city. Yue King Li Zhen is only allowed to bring a hundred-man guard into the city."
Li Zhen knew in her heart that Li Shiyou had a purpose and could not violate it, so she immediately asked brothers Xue Rengui and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry to lead soldiers to the military camp outside the city.
Li Zhen took Nina, Dou Xixian and a hundred musketeers into Chang'an City.
"However, these one hundred musketeers have enhanced equipment. Not only do they wear armor, they also carry hand-thrown grenades, and each gun has more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.
It was already late at night when a group of people entered Chang'an City, and the bustling Chang'an City was still brightly lit.
The great eunuch took Li Zhen towards the Xuanwu Gate. When they passed by an alley, the great eunuch said, "The prince is waiting here. I'm in a hurry. I'll go back as soon as I can."
Li Zhen nodded. Li Zhen had seen this eunuch before. He was indeed a eunuch from the palace. He thought there would be nothing wrong with him, so he didn't take it to heart.
As soon as the eunuch left, Li Zhen felt her heart skip a beat, and a bad premonition came to her.
In the prosperous place of Chang'an, this alley is so secluded. Why does it feel like something is wrong?
Li Zhen immediately sent people to find the eunuch. At the same time, he ordered everyone to load their bullets and prepare for battle.
Within a moment, the two men who were looking for the eunuch ran back and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the eunuch is missing."
"What?"
Li Zhen was startled and said: "Exit the alley immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless footsteps came from all around, and countless strong men were seen rushing over from all directions with bows, arrows and swords and guns, completely blocking Li Zhen's retreat.
"Hurry into the hospital!"
Nina yelled and rushed to a small courtyard next to her while protecting Li Zhen.
The next moment, thousands of arrows were fired from all around, shooting down more than twenty musketeers at once, and most of the remaining musketeers were wounded.
"If they hadn't been wearing armor today, none of them would have been able to escape.
Li Zhen led the remaining musketeers into the compound.
There were four or five corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard, but they had been silenced long ago.
Li Zhen gritted her teeth and immediately ordered the musketeers to climb up the courtyard wall, preparing to fight tooth and nail.
Li Zhen did not expect that in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he would encounter an assassination. Who had the courage to kill himself?
Nina whispered: "Your Majesty, could it be from the emperor"
Li Zhen shook her head and said: "No, if the emperor wants to kill me, he only needs an imperial edict, or he can kill me after I enter the Xuanwu Sect. There is no need to do anything extra."
"Then who wants to kill you?" Nina asked.
Li Zhen was silent, but she was thinking in her heart that it was just those few people who were planning behind her assassination. The biggest suspect was Changsun Wuji. However, how could Changsun Wuji be so bold and dare to send troops to assassinate him in Chang'an? Isn't he afraid that not being able to kill him will be detrimental to him?
"kill!"
Li Zhen was just thinking when there were sounds of killing all around. Thousands of men with swords and guns rushed towards the compound, trying to break through the compound. The situation was extremely critical.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
Outside the hospital, a high-pitched voice said.
In the courtyard, Nina led more than 80 soldiers into three teams. Seeing the dead soldiers outside rushing towards the small courtyard in dense formation, the soldiers took out the hand-throwing mines from their waists and threw them outside the courtyard.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of explosions sounded, and the fragments of the hand-grenade explosion knocked down hundreds of dead soldiers in an instant, and the remaining dead soldiers were in a mess.
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
At this moment, the musket fired.
With the sound of muskets, the dead soldiers fell to the ground one by one, unable to rush forward for a while.
At this moment, a burst of shouting suddenly erupted from the back door of the courtyard, but dozens of dead soldiers came around to the back of the courtyard, climbed the wall and rushed over. One dead soldier drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Li Zhen
At the same time, in the palace, Li Shimin was playing chess with Changsun Wuji.
Today, Changsun Wuji seems to be a little distracted. He usually plays chess with Li Shimin. Although he cannot win, he can still draw two out of three games.
But today, he lost three games in a row, which made Li Shimin laugh.
"Auxiliary Machine (Chang Sun Wuji), what happened to you today? But what are you thinking about?"
Li Shimin was very happy to win three games in a row, but he was also a little confused and asked Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji forced out a smile and said: "The emperor's chess skills have greatly improved, and the auxiliary players are willing to lose."
"Hahaha This is not your style, Changsun Wuji. Tell me, what is on your mind?"
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hide anything from your Majesty. I'm thinking about how your Majesty will arrange for Li Zhen, the King of Yue."
After hearing this, Li Shimin pushed the chessboard and said calmly: "Zhen'er has made great contributions in Liaodong over the past year and relieved the Tang Dynasty from its border troubles. From now on, the Tang Dynasty no longer has to fight on two fronts. However, this The credit is indeed great (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
