Chapter 196: A Long Day (8)


Yang Fan flew over, and when he saw that it was the palace patrol led by Xiao Qianyue who was blocking the way, he put down his heart.

Just now, he was still wondering, where a detachment of men suddenly appeared Even if this is just an armed force that Wu Zetian has temporarily gathered, it proves that the matter of the military admonition has been known to her, and it will definitely cause great trouble.

Wu Zetian is still the emperor now, she still has the right to rule the entire empire, don't look at their military advice, they claim to be supported by the north gate and the south government, but as long as Wu Zetian can escape this catastrophe, she can still reverse the situation.

At that time, the best result of these people who carried out military advice was to help the prince run south, set up another court in southern Xinjiang, and fight against Wu Zetian.

But in that case, will the Turks and Tibetans miss the good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob?

Yang Fan secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Yuke, immediately lead the team to retreat to the side" Xiao Qianyue was stunned for a moment, then she saw Yang Fan clearly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "General Yang" Yang Fan said sharply: "The north gate and the south ya, the two prime ministers, jointly support the prince to destroy the prince and the Qingjun side, you wait for the speed to retreat to the side" "We, the Thousand Horsemen, also participated in the mutiny" Xiao Qianyue couldn't digest such a terrifying news for a while, but obeying orders almost became an instinct for him, Yang Fan shouted, Xiao Qianyue subconsciously replied: "Obey" As soon as the officers and soldiers of Xiao Qianyue's department saw that the lord of Lian Ben was coming, they had no will to fight, and when they saw that Xiao was signaling to avoid, they immediately put away their swords and guns and retreated to the side.

Tian Guidao suddenly panicked, he was already swaying, he didn't know how to choose, and now he didn't even have the right to choose, he was alone, what big things could he do At this time, Li Duozuo, Xue Sixing and others escorted the prince cautiously and leaned over, Tian Guidao saw that the prince was really in the team, took the opportunity to find his own steps, and said respectfully: "Since the prince is here, the minister can't disobey the order" After saying that, his hands were arched high, and he retreated to the side of the road step by step.

This time, the participants of the military admonition included almost all the factions except Erzhang, and many of these factions have something to do with Erzhang's faction, and if they are all liquidated, it will inevitably cause chaos and serious turmoil, and the crown prince's throne is only afraid and not easy to sit on.

So from the very beginning, the policy they formulated was to narrow the scope of the attack, and those who would never forgive were limited to the scope of Erzhang's henchmen.

Now that Tian Guidao is soft, there is no need to cut him with a knife, Yang Fan instructed Xiao Qianyue: "You, escort Tian Zhongjian to the Xuanwu Palace, without my order, you must not act rashly."

Xiao Qianyue hugged her fists and said: "The last general will obey the order" Tian Guidao felt relieved when he heard this, and knew that he had no worries about his surname.

If the prince's mutiny is successful, there is no doubt that he will have to settle the crime of blocking the road with him, but at most, he will be dismissed from office and go home to recuperate.

But on the other hand, if the prince's mutiny fails, then he will not be beheaded as a rebel when he is detained, and maybe there will be a chance to be promoted to the rank of knight.

As the saying goes, how big the risk is, how big the benefit is, this result is still acceptable to him, so Tian Guidao didn't need Xiao Qianyue to escort the soldiers, so he consciously walked towards the Xuanwu Palace, Xiao Qianyue immediately led the soldiers and horses to catch up, and there was a dream-like feeling while walking: "Our thousand horses are really reversed" Yang Fan arrived in time and repelled Xiao Qianyue's men and horses, and finally avoided a vicious battle halfway.

There are eunuchs and eunuchs who keep vigil in all palaces, and once there is a fight here, it will be difficult not to alarm Wu Zetian.

The group immediately quickened their pace and rushed in the direction of Yingxian Palace.

A short distance forward, Gao Lishi led two little eunuchs to hurriedly greet him, and when he saw Yang Fan walking in the head, he happily called: "Brother Yang" There are not many people who even come to Yang Fan in the inner garden, and the road is not very familiar, but Gao Lishi is used to it, with him as the internal response, everyone is more agile, and soon they came to the front of the Yingxian Palace.

Everyone stood still, looked at the majestic palace and the tall palace gate, and thought that the empress was staying inside, and a kind of coercion came to their hearts.

However, if they are willing to cut their bodies and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, they all dare to mutiny, so what scruples can they have at this time.

That kind of strong psychological pressure only made their hearts sink, and they immediately regained their courage, and a kind of heroic spirit surged up, who can be so vigorous in a person's life, this is the great achievement of Emperor Yili "Brother Yang" Gao Lishi, who had just disappeared for a moment, commanded a few little eunuchs again, and ran back with a thick log with difficulty.

I don't know where they got the logs, and where they hid them in advance, Yang Fan saw it, slapped him on the shoulder, and praised: "It's so fast, let's hit the door."

The emperor's dormitory will never be opened after nightfall, there is only one way to get in, and the gate is fortunately that although the palace wall is extremely high, this is the palace gate of the inner court after all, and it is not as thick as the gate of the palace city, and there is such a thick log that can definitely be knocked open.

Wang Tongjiao and Jinghui took the lead in grabbing it, taking the log from the hands of the little eunuch, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers with big shoulders and round waists volunteered to rush forward, and together with them, they picked up the giant tree, trotted to help, and slammed into the palace gate.

There was a loud bang on the ground of "tom", the palace gate shook violently, everyone held the log and retreated, ran again, and there was a huge earthquake, only three times in a row, the palace gate was a little loose, and every time it was hit, it opened a fist-wide mouth.

Huan Yanfan carried the knife and said happily: "Come a few more times and crash away" As soon as he arrived at Yingxian Palace, Li Xian dismounted with a weak heart, and saw that the frightened look on his face had not yet dissipated.

The rhythm of the log hitting the palace gate was not fast, because after each impact, he had to take more than ten steps back before he could slam again, Rao was like this, and every loud bang still seemed to knock on his heart, which made his heart tremble.

Yingxian Palace is a separate palace complex, inside the heavy doors stacked on the winding path is deep, if you simply distinguish it, it should also be divided into three courtyards before and after, and there are spacious courtyards and tall buildings in each courtyard, so such a huge sound of knocking on the door has become very slight when it reaches the second courtyard, and the people who stay in the third courtyard can't hear it at all.

But the person who stayed in the first courtyard was awakened at the first time.

Since the emperor was seriously ill and moved to Yingxian Palace by Erzhang, it was completely controlled by Erzhang's people, and in addition to some cronies and eunuchs and palace ladies who lived in Yingxian Palace, they also arranged many people who were guarded by Fengchen in violation of regulations.

As soon as they knocked on the door outside, they knew that something was wrong, and a group of people immediately panicked.

These people ran out like headless flies, disheveled, shouting for heaven and earth, some went straight to the harem to report the news, some shouted for help, and some people saw that the palace door was more and more dangerous, and the door bar was in danger of breaking, and shouted to bring tables and chairs against the door, and it was a mess for a while.

The eunuchs of Gong'e, who were staying in several small palace rooms on the left and right of Yingxian Palace, were naturally awakened at this time, but at this time they found out that it was too late, they didn't dare to come over, they just stood far away, and a group of people who were eager to break into the palace didn't bother to pay attention to them, but just accelerated the speed of hitting the door.

"Boom Karala" The log hit again, the door bar was broken, only a small half of the void remained, everyone was overjoyed, and they couldn't care about retreating anymore, so they borrowed the power of swinging their arms in the same place, and hit the door twice in a row, and finally hit the palace door wide, Li Duozuo raised his eyebrows, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Kill in" Everyone pulled out their swords, rushed in, the courtyard had already been chaotic, the two leaning on the arm to help those wolf wolf rush all over the courtyard chaos, Li Duozuo, Huan Yanfan and others but saw the rush up, immediately raised the knife and fell, at this time who can still care about the soft-hearted, resist to kill, get in the way of the way also want to kill, they are like a red-hot knife cut into butter, directly rushed to the second gate, all the way, many of the palace attendants who know the opportunity are kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

The warning news of the attack on the Yingxian Hall reached the internal guard as soon as possible.

The internal guard moves with the Son of Heaven, where the Son of Heaven sleeps, the internal guard will choose a place to live near the dormitory, and set up a secret warning channel between the dormitory and the internal guard, which is absolutely secret, and even Shangguan Wan'er can't understand it.

And in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the internal guards, she did not dare to inquire.

Over the years, Wan'er has also infiltrated and developed some people who belong to her in the internal guard, but as the empress's most personal and last defense force, all its appointments and transfers are the responsibility of the Son of Heaven himself, and there are really not many things that Wan'er can interfere in and influence.

Especially after Wan'er became pregnant, although she avoided Wu Zetian's vigilance against her by means of self-defilement, although Wu Zetian still relied on her in government affairs, she still had a dislike for her, and some affairs involving the inner court began to be transferred to others.

In fact, this is normal, Wu Zetian has always paid attention to checks and balances and containment, how can he allow Wan'er to dominate the inner court At the beginning, Wei Tuan'er was Wan'er's restraining force in the inner court, but in order to give an explanation to the prince and side concubine who were falsely accused, and the prince who almost committed suicide, Wu Zetian executed Wei Tuan'er, and then Wan'er was once in charge of the inner palace.

Wan'er's influence on the plum blossom internal guard also began at that time.

But the emperor would not allow this situation to last long, and it was precisely for this consideration that Wan'er instructed her good sister Fu Qingqing to play the evil man who told her when she was pregnant and could not hide it.

However, although their tricks successfully deceived Wu Zetian, Fu Qingqing did not become the one who replaced Wei Tuan'er, because Wu Zetian had Erzhang, and Erzhang was very keen to control the power of the Inner Palace.

This time, not only did many affairs of the inner court fall into the hands of Erzhang, but because of Wu Zetian's favor and trust in them, even the internal guards also fell into their hands.

If the internal guard can arrive in time, the success or failure is still unknown:
