Chapter 454: Turning the Tide 9 In the panic, Li Mi also cut his left arm, and Du Hongjian sprained his ankle while running, but he didn't care about the pain and ran for his life.
At this juncture, all the reserved, graceful and luxurious of the Chang'an magnates were thrown out of the clouds, and their lives mattered, and they cared about what decency Some people lost their boots, some people scattered their crowns and belts on the ground, and some of them spread out their clothes and did not cover their bodies, and so on.
Of course, there were only a few who could keep up, and most of the courtiers were trembling around the pillars of the main hall, praying that the two groups would not be affected by the battle.
In the panic, a eunuch leader saw that Kong Sheng was going to rescue the emperor and the emperor, and he was furious, and he couldn't wait for the support of Yu Chaoen and others outside the hall, gritted his teeth, and put the torch in his hand on the curtain in the main hall.
The hall was already sprinkled with fire oil, but now it's just a little bit.
The fire ignited instantly, and the flames soared into the sky.
The courtiers in the palace panicked, called for help repeatedly, and no longer cared about whether they would be affected, risking the danger of being hacked to death by this group of tiger and wolf eunuchs, they ran to the entrance of the palace in a panic.
Kong Sheng saw that the Xuanzheng Hall was on fire, his face changed, and he immediately roared angrily: "Rush out at all costs, rush out and avoid entering the side hall."
Yu Chaoen and the others outside the hall had realized that something was wrong in the hall, but at this moment, he had no chance to mobilize people to reinforce his subordinates in the palace, because Li Yu's East Palace guards were full of murderous momentum, shouting and scolding outside the Xuanzheng Yuan, and they were about to rush into the Xuanzheng Yuan.
Yu Chaoen took advantage of the ladder to go up the palace wall with a gloomy face, and looked out on the top of the wall, and couldn't help but gasp, and his face changed suddenly.
Outside the Xuanzheng Courtyard, the torches soared into the sky, and the blades stood like rain.
Three thousand East Palace guards led the armor to be distinct, the flag was displayed, the crown prince Li Yu was dressed in gold armor, holding a spear, sitting on a sweaty and bloody horse, raising his finger and pointing at this box and angrily reprimanded: "Yu Chaoen, you and other thieves gather in the palace, plotting to make trouble, the palace leads the East Palace guards to enter the palace to quell the rebellion, and you don't open the door quickly to surrender, but when" Li Yu deliberately avoided Yu Chaoen's hijacking of the emperor and the emperor, and only accused Yu Chaoen of controlling the palace and plotting against him.
Yu Chaoen looked back at the Xuanzheng Hall where the fire was rising, his heart was anxious, he turned his head to look at Li Yu and sneered loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the miscellaneous family is ordered by the Emperor and His Majesty to protect the safety of the two Majesties here, how did it become a plot to make trouble Your Majesty is discussing with the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace, and His Royal Highness is bringing troops into the palace without authorization, is this to usurp the throne and seize power?"
The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, and he was angry: "Yu Chaoen, you dog thief, you deserve to die This palace orders you to open the door immediately to accept the guilt, otherwise, once the iron armor of this palace rushes into the Xuanzheng Courtyard, you will die without a place to be buried."
Li Yu still deliberately avoided the words emperor and old emperor.
Yu Chaoen saw that Li Yu didn't seem to understand the "hint", and in a panic, he had to directly threaten his words in a clear place: "Your Highness, if you dare to use troops without authorization, if you hurt the Emperor and Your Majesty, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Yu Chaoen pulled his thin throat and used all his strength to make noise.
But his threat was nothing at all for Li Yu, who came prepared.
If Li Yu was really worried about the safety of the emperor and the old emperor, he would not have hurriedly summoned the East Palace guards into the palace.
Li Yu still pretended to be confused, and pretended to be angry and said: "You dog thief, the eunuch palace will take you down, and you will be broken into ten thousand pieces."
Li Shi came over, leaned in Li Yu's ear and said softly: "Father, we can't delay any longer, my son seems to be on fire in the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace, looking at the current situation, even if we don't do it, I'm afraid the emperor and the emperor will be in the capital."
Li Yu nodded slowly, and a trace of determination and murder flashed in his eyes.
He raised his spear high, and his voice was clear and high-pitched: "The Donggong guards belong to the gate, break the door and rush to the palace to destroy the thieves."
As soon as Li Yu gave an order, the East Palace Guard, who had long been unable to hold back, led three thousand soldiers to rush over with shouts, smashed the main entrance of the palace with instruments, braved the rain of arrows from the palace wall, and sacrificed his life to kill in the Xuanzheng Courtyard.
Three thousand iron horsemen stormed such a palace, and hundreds of eunuchs in this area, although there were strong crossbows and masters, they were not the opponents of the regular army after all.
After an impact, the eunuchs' defense line was broken through by the Donggong guards, and some of the hundreds of eunuchs fled over the wall, and some fought desperately with the guards, of course, most of them fell in a pool of blood and collapsed.
Yu Chaoen's face was gloomy, knowing that the general trend had gone.
With a loud noise, he led dozens of sword-wielding eunuchs to rush out of the encirclement and fled to the depths of the inner palace in the night.
Li Shi shouted, and was about to order the Donggong Guard to lead the troops to chase after him, but Li Yu grabbed his arm and shook his head.
Li Shi was taken aback and immediately understood.
The direction in which Yu Chaoen and the others fled was the direction in which Kong Sheng's forbidden army lined up, and Yu Chaoen and these eunuchs panicked and blindly rushed over like this, which was to send them to death.
But despite this, in Li Shi's opinion, the East Palace should still take Yu Chaoen down in time and control it in his own hands, as the best proof of the rationality and legitimacy of the East Palace Guards to bring armor into the palace this time.
However, Li Yu did not do this.
Li Shi was a little stunned.
Or, Li Yu deliberately wanted to let Yu Chaoen go He saw Li Yu's gloomy and complicated eyes looking at the flaming Xuanzheng Palace, and his heart moved.
There were constantly courtiers screaming and escaping from the palace, and eunuchs were constantly chasing them out with knives, and in the blink of an eye, the besieged Donggong guards were killed on the spot.
Many Donggong guards subconsciously shouted for firefighting, but there was no movement on Li Yu's side.
Many courtiers who escaped from the Xuanzheng Hall and survived by luck collapsed to the ground in fright, the corners of their mouths trembling, unable to say a word.
No one knows how many people are still in the burning Xuanzheng Palace, and no one knows whether the emperor and the old emperor can escape with their lives The eyes in the corners of Li Yu's eyes skimmed over, there were about fifty or sixty people who came to the Xuanzheng Palace to meet the emperor and were pitted in by Yu Chaoen's group, and those who escaped with their lives are currently in front of them, and there are at least twenty people who are missing, and their lives are uncertain.
The flames soared into the sky, reflecting the night sky of Daming Palace.
In the deep palace, the various palaces were alarmed, and the voices of many palace maids and eunuchs running and calling for help were heard from afar.
Li Yu stared at the Xuanzheng Hall bathed in the firelight, and saw that the plaques on the main hall were half burned and fell to the ground, but he did not give the order to put out the fire.
Many Donggong guards looked at their masters with blank expressions.
Li Yu looked around again, and the corpse on the ground, except for the corpse of the eunuch, was the Donggong guard.
This battle came quickly and ended quickly, and the Donggong guards, who had no scruples and strong combat effectiveness, led the annihilation of this group of eunuchs without much effort, but they also paid a heavy price of dozens of casualties.

Because the Xuanzheng Hall was poured a lot of fire oil by Yu Chaoen and others, the fire became more violent by the wind, and many Donggong guards sighed in their hearts, it was a little too late to put out the fire at this moment, and it was too late to rescue at all.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at the side where the courtiers who had escaped by luck, and said indifferently: "You only care about running for your own life, Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang are now safe."
The ministers were stunned and looked at each other, Li Yu accused him like this, but they didn't react at all.
"Fighting fires" Li Yu finally gave the order to put out the fire.
But the fire in the main hall burned more violently, crackling in the wind, and there was a faint posture of the collapse of the main hall.
Three thousand Donggong guards rushed forward, holding buckets, and began a futile fire-fighting operation.
Li Yu took a deep breath, and a trace of wordless indifference flashed in his eyes.
He looked up at the gloomy sky, turned around and walked slowly, leaving only one sentence: "Block the palace gate, no one is allowed to leave the ministers of the Daming Palace, and go to the Linde Hall with the palace to discuss matters."
Li Yu's voice did not fall, but it gradually spread to the side hall of the fire, and from a closed arch, a graceful figure slowly walked out, it was Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng and Nanyong Tang Genshui Mu Changfeng led the forbidden army masters to desperately rescue the emperor and the old emperor from the burning Xuanzheng Palace, and more than a dozen ministers followed them all the way out of the main hall, and when Yu Chaoen led the thieves and prisoners to confront Li Yu's East Palace Guards, they quietly avoided the side hall.
As for the other courtiers in the palace, Kong Sheng could only hope that they would escape for their lives.
Whether they can save their lives or not, each has a destiny.
"Your Highness, where is Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang here" Kong Sheng's clear and powerful voice pierced the night sky and reached Li Yu's ears, Li Yu's face changed greatly, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the way he came.
Kong Sheng slowly dodged his figure, the embarrassed and disheveled emperor walked out of the arch with the support of the two forbidden soldiers, and the old emperor was even more embarrassed, he was covered in blood, and he didn't know whether he was injured and bleeding or stained with other people's blood, the old emperor was also disheveled and walked out of the arch slowly, his face was pale without a trace of blood.
Li Yu's expression was shocked, and a trace of disappointment quietly passed through the depths of his eyes.
But his face immediately turned grim, and he took the lead in bowing to the ground: "The son's escort is late, and I ask my father and the emperor to forgive me."
The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched, but he reluctantly smiled and said: "Emperor, thanks to you leading the army into the palace in time, otherwise, although I was rescued by Kong Sheng from the Xuanzheng Palace, I would not be able to escape from the palm of Yu Chaoen's gang of traitors."
Speaking of Yu Chaoen, Li Heng immediately became angry: "Emperor, if you have ever taken down that dog thief or killed me, you must break this thief into ten thousand pieces, so as to vent the hatred in your heart."
Li Yu said in a deep voice: "Erchen got the news, after discussing with General Kong, specially transferred the East Palace Guard to enter the palace to escort him, the matter is urgent, Erchen had to lead the army to rush into the Xuanzheng Yuan As for the eunuch Yu Chaoen, although he fled with people, but Erchen has been handed over to the forbidden army to pursue and suppress, please rest assured that it will not be long before the head of this thief will be offered."
Li Yu made a few words of understatement, and he made it clear that he was transferred to the East Palace Guard, and he also dragged Kong Sheng on board.
Kong Sheng secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't reveal this layer.
Li Yu led the army into the palace Xuanzheng Yuan's scruples, and delayed the time to fight the fire, in fact, Kong Sheng saw it in his eyes and knew it, but there were some words in his heart, and there was no need to pierce this layer of window paper. oshow7 t1706231537:
