Chapter 440: Choice 2 Night is falling.
The eaves of countless palaces in the inner palace overlap and overlap, cross and horizontally in the field of vision, and the bright palace lights are lit up one after another, this is another hazy night, the moon is blocked by dark clouds, adding a bit of gloomy atmosphere to the deep palace.
The Xuanzheng Courtyard is brightly lit.
Emperor Li Longji took his own group of female eunuchs to sit on one side of the Xuanzheng Palace, and opposite was Emperor Li Heng and several of his eunuchs.
As for the members of the Shadow Guard who secretly guarded the Emperor at any time, after the fierce battle before, they had been killed by Yu Chaoen's people, and their bodies were hiding in the garden at this moment.
Of course, the eunuch team also paid a terrible price for this, killing and wounding dozens of people.
Shadow Guard's combat power and will to sacrifice his life are stronger than Yu Chaoen imagined, and he originally thought that it would be easy to take, but it turned out to be a difficult battle.
If it weren't for Yu Chaoen's strong crossbows set up around the palace in advance, these shadow guard members might have escaped and passed on the news that the emperor had been kidnapped by Yu Chaoen and others.
The eunuch who was still angry held a knife and split the body of one of the shadow guards who had injured several people, and blood splattered on the spot, and his condition was so tragic that people couldn't bear to look at it.
And the madness of this group of eunuchs is close to the limit.
Hundreds of eunuchs controlled the Xuanzheng Yuan in their hands and waited for it.
Because it is related to personal worth and life, no eunuch dares to slack off, and they all follow the arrangement of Yu Chaoen and Zhang Yue, each of them stays at their posts, their eyes wide, and they are on call at any time.
The emperor's face was very ugly.
He stared at the old emperor coldly, but the old emperor looked calm, no matter how much Li Heng looked at him with anger, he was also indifferent.
The father and son looked at each other like this, but there was no spark.
Yu Chaoen commanded the eunuchs to pour flammable oil on the inside and outside of the Xuanzheng Palace, including inside and outside the palace.
There was a strong smell of fire oil in his nose, and the emperor's face became even more gloomy.
The emperor was remorseful at the moment.
He has been cautious all his life, but he didn't think that today, he was careless and fell into the trap set by Yu Chaoen and the old emperor.
Yu Chaoen and Zhang Yue firmly blocked the entrance of the hall with dozens of armed eunuchs, still holding torches in their hands.
Yu Chaoen walked over with a crazy face, and even ignored the emperor, and bowed directly to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been prepared, everything is waiting for Your Majesty to announce the edict of restoration to the courtiers."
Li Heng was furious and took the case: "Yu Chaoen, you bold dog thief, you dare to commit a crime and plot to rebel and coerce me in the Xuanzheng Palace, aren't you afraid that I will kill your nine clans?"
Yu Chaoen was not afraid, and said coldly: "The slave is loyal to Your Majesty, the slave and maid are only Majesty alone in their eyes, and the slave and maid are willing to go to the soup for the restoration of Your Majesty, what are you afraid of, without further ado, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Yu Chaoen bowed to the old emperor, then got up and retreated.
The old emperor smiled awkwardly, looked at Emperor Li Heng and said softly: "Emperor, things have come to this point, why don't you temporarily make an abdication edict, and then I will restore the throne, or canonize you as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, as in the past, how" The old emperor's heart was originally like this, I am the emperor, you are the prince, as long as I don't die for a day, you will always be the prince.
Li Heng sneered: "Father, it's not that the son is greedy for the throne and refuses to let it, but that you think that with these thieves and eunuchs like Yu Chaoen, you can take away my country."
The old emperor smiled coldly: "Emperor, this is not your country, it is me, you are my son, everything you have is given by me, what else do you have to say?"
Yu Chaoen sneered on the side: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are ready to die."
If Your Majesty is going to go to Huangquan with the slaves and maids, then the slaves and maids are still afraid of someone, so prepare bows and crossbows and torches."
Dozens of armed eunuchs suddenly agreed, prepared the bows and crossbows in their hands, and aimed them at the emperor and others.
Yu Chaoen laughed wildly: "Please abdicate the emperor" The emperor's face changed suddenly, and he reprimanded angrily in a trembling voice: "Yu Chaoen, you dare to kill the king and rebel" Yu Chaoen sneered and was silent.
He said in his heart, Lao Tzu has done everything, and he is afraid of killing the monarch and rebelling against you, Didn't the throne of the Li Tang Dynasty be snatched from the former Sui Emperor, and the people of your old Li family are not good birds.
The old emperor sighed and said: "Emperor, it's not that I expect these eunuchs to cause trouble, but I feel that I am still alive, and this throne is originally mine, and there is nothing wrong with me reinstating the throne."
You have also seen that Yu Chaoen and these people have already taken the risk to this point, if you insist on not complying, you and my father and son can go to Jiuquan to quarrel again. ” The old emperor waved his hand and sat there without moving.
Li Heng was angry, angry, and terrified, and his body trembled a little as he stood there.
Gao Lishi stood in front of the old emperor, looked indifferent and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave has a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."
Li Heng glared at Gao Lishi angrily, and his heart was that you, the old minion, had tricked me into the trap Gao Lishi knew that the emperor had a grudge against him, but he had no choice, for the safety of the old emperor, he had to give up.
Colliers slowly closed his eyes, restless.
He didn't know if Zheng Kun had already transmitted his distress signal out of the palace to Kong Sheng's hands, and whether Kong Sheng would enter the palace in time to rescue the emperor and the emperor.
But for the sake of today's plan, it can only be delayed for a while.
Gao Lishi slowly opened his eyes, but his old eyes, which were originally cloudy, were also shining: "Your Majesty, you are in a hurry, it is better to return the throne to the Emperor Taishang first, and then calmly think about it, how about it" "You presumptuous old thing, you are really bold and reckless, you have deceived me so far, you have committed a great rebellious crime of bullying the king, and you still dare to twitter in front of me" Li Heng roared angrily.
Gao Lishi sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that after this time, no matter what the result was, he would offend the emperor miserably, and I was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe.
Gao Lishi said softly with a smile: "Then Your Majesty thinks that how to deal with the current situation and how to resolve the slave and maid said something rebellious, but Your Majesty insisted on not complying, and the final result was that the jade was burned."
However, the Tang Dynasty cannot be without a monarch for a day, His Majesty and His Majesty the Emperor Bin Tianhou, there is a prince of the East Palace who ascends the throne and becomes the emperor."
Li Heng's expression was gloomy, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he sat back with a puff.

The old emperor's face also became extremely ugly.
Father and son finally realized the crux of the matter.
In fact, Yu Chaoen, these bold eunuchs are not important, even if they are holding the emperor hostage, they are not afraid, what really worries people is the crown prince Li Yu outside the palace.
This matter has dragged on for a long time, so that Li Yu can get the news with Li Yu's strong character, Li Yu's coveting of the throne, and Li Yu's ability to control the overall situation, the consequences are simply unimaginable Colliers was right.
The old emperor was reinstated, and at least the two of them could save their lives.
And if the emperor resists, then the most beneficial is the crown prince Li Yu.
Once Li Yu came forward, the father and son emperors would definitely die. oshow7 t1706231537:
