Chapter 31
The number of refugees is increasing, and the Jinwu Guard led by General Yang is gradually outnumbered by the number of refugees. It is already at the end of its strength to guard outside the Taiji Palace.
As time went by, General Yang and others discovered something even worse—the refugees had weapons, and they were no longer limited to shouting outside the palace walls, but began to rush into the palace gates.
At the same time, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple took a servant and found Dali Siqing, Li Zhi, Huang Sanpao and others who were investigating the cause of General Cen's death on the east side of Taiji Palace.Everyone in Dali Temple obviously didn't care about the noise outside.
"A servant found suspicious traces at Xuanfu Gate and Xuanwu Gate. It seems to be left by weapons. Do you want to send someone to check?" Taichang Temple Shaoqing said this to Dali Temple Secretary.
Today, the murderer who killed General Cen may still be in the court. Since the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple said so, the Dali Temple Minister naturally asked Li Zhi to check.
"How about we divide our troops into two groups. The situation is tense now. The sooner the murderer is found, the safer it will be for His Majesty." Li Zhi and Huang Sanpao followed Shaoqing of Taichang Temple all the way to the West Inner Garden. Suggested by Changji Shaoqing.
This Taichang Temple Shaoqing's suggestion sounded reasonable, so Li Zhi and Huang Sanpao separated, Sanpao followed the servant to Xuanfu Gate, and Li Zhi followed Taichang Temple Shaoqing to Xuanwu Gate.
To Li Zhi, this Xuanwu Gate was somewhat sensitive, so he would not come here easily when he went to the palace to face the saints.
Now if the young minister of Taichang Temple hadn't come to invite him, Li Zhi would probably find an excuse to shirk.But this young minister of Taichang Temple is very talkative in front of His Majesty. If Li Zhi still finds an excuse not to go after the other party has suggested, it will leave a knot in the Emperor's heart.
At the same time, Ge Changshi, who led people to guard the emperor's bedroom, received news from his subordinates that the refugees had weapons, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved. The Jinwu guards at Guangyun Gate and Changle Gate were about to lose their hold It seems that someone is breaking through the palace wall from Anfumen to Fanglinmen.
Ge Changshi ordered the soldiers to continue to search for the news ahead, and he entered the emperor's bedroom with a serious face to report the news.
Entering the bedroom, all the important ministers were waiting outside. It seems that although His Majesty has been treated in time, but because of lack of energy, he has been discussing important matters with the ministers. After taking the medicine, he couldn't hold on anymore and took a nap for a quarter of an hour .
"My lords, the situation outside the palace is not good. Our troops are limited. Your Majesty is here—" Ge Changshi did not continue, but the several adults naturally knew that Ge Changshi hoped that His Majesty could stay away temporarily.
"The goal of this bedroom is too obvious. Ge Changshi, Your Majesty is about to wake up, take someone to escort His Majesty to Concubine Wei, Mr. Gu, please help." Dai Zhou discussed with Lord Shangguan and Lord Xiao in a low voice, and came out Sound arrives.
His Majesty was handed over to Ge Changshi. In order to avoid leaking the news from too many people, several adults stayed in the emperor's bedroom.
On the other side, Li Zhi, who was going to Xuanwumen, saw a few familiar faces along the way, including the adults from the Ministry of Industry and the former Taifu Temple. They heard from the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple that Xuanwumen had The traces of the real murderer of General Cen also followed one by one, wanting to see what happened.This one with the other, Li Zhi was followed by quite a few court officials.
After the emperor woke up, Lord Shangguan reported the news of Ge Changshi's report to the emperor, and tried to persuade him.Li Shimin had a rare expression of displeasure on his face, but for the sake of long-term consideration, he finally agreed to go to Concubine Wei's palace temporarily.
In order not to attract attention, Ge Changshi recruited several Jinwu guards from his confidantes, escorted His Majesty out of the bedroom, and Gu Mingzhang, Minister of the Ministry of War, followed him.As for His Majesty's original servants, they pretended that nothing had happened, and stayed at the bedroom side, pretending to serve them.
In front of Chengtian Gate, suddenly a cold arrow shot out from among the refugees, directly piercing the throat of General Yang who was unprepared.There are two arrow feathers. The Jinwu guards who were guarding were suddenly attacked by bows and arrows. At the same time, the refugees who were close to them also drew their long knives and long swords and attacked the guards.
For a moment, the sound of shouting, beating and killing extended from Chengtianmen all the way, along Zhuque Street, and reached the ears of Chang'an people in Fangshi.
"What to do, Si Niang, it looks like something is really going to happen! Where did these people come from?" In Fanshe, Tan Shuangye was a little anxious.
"It seems that they are all well-trained, so I don't know which one is behind them." Si Niang stood on the upper floor of Fanshe with her arms folded, looking in the direction of Taiji Palace. In her hand was the metal pole. bong.
The blood of the Jinwu guards was sprinkled under the palace wall in front of Chengtian Gate.Just when the living Jinwu guards were still struggling to resist even though they were outnumbered, the Chengtian Gate, Changle Gate, and Jiafu Gate were slowly opened from the inside at the same time.The refugees passed through the gate and stepped on the bluestone bricks of Tai Chi Palace.
