The person in Li Yan's eyes was none other than Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites.
If he hadn't urged the marriage before, he wouldn't have known that this person was still a relative of his mother's family. Although the blood relationship was extremely weak, according to the family tree, they were really relatives, and they had a lot of contacts in recent days.
Fortunately, Li Gefei's participation in the coup is still a coup that is bound to fail.
At this time, Jian Wang Zhaosi, under the persuasion of the eunuch Jia Xiang, expressed a firm look on his eyebrows: "'The likes and dislikes of the superiors are the expression of the people.' The Queen Mother was generous, benevolent and filial, but she died in vain. Now the official family is unethical.
How can you set an example for all people? My dear friends, I have made up my mind!"
Everyone was waiting, and upon hearing the words, they were overjoyed. Zhong Shihao was the first to salute: "I shall follow Your Highness, through fire and water, even to the death!"
All the civil servants also bowed down one after another: "The virtuous kings of the past generations have governed the world with benevolence and filial piety. Officials who violate etiquette and abandon the rules should be corrected and punished. They cannot be tolerated. We should do what Yin Huo did, help His Highness to ascend to the throne, and clean up the court!"
Li Yan couldn't help but frown as he saw one after another speak out, all speaking of Confucian ethics.
There is no need to listen to the specific plan or military arrangements for the coup. Just look at the ministers who participated. They all have upright faces and look like they are filled with grief and indignation from the bottom of their hearts. They are obviously stimulated by the official matricide, and they firmly believe that this is the case.
A man who is a man must never be a king.
Unfortunately, relying solely on justice will never succeed. The most important thing in a coup is force. The so-called righteousness is more about ending the coup after success and pacifying the situation. The process relies on soldiers to capture it.
Whether it was the Xuanwu Gate Incident or the subsequent Jinglong Coup and Tang Long Coup, this was a top priority, and this group of people was obviously putting the cart before the horse, thinking that by focusing on Zhao Ji's mother-killing, they could expel him naturally.
Step down.
Seeing that his morale was ready, King Jian Zhao couldn't help but feel excited. He raised his hands majestically: "Everyone, please stand up!"
On the other hand, the old eunuch beside Zhao Si frowned a little when he saw it, and came to him and whispered: "Your Highness, I'd better ask about the commanding guards first..."
Zhao Si looked at Zhong Shihao and said with a pleasant expression: "Commander Zhong, have the Banzhi guards been arranged?"
Zhong Shihao said: "Reporting to Your Highness, because the Imperial City Division has been arresting innocent people recently because of the evil cult traitors, Ban Zhi, who is guarding the palace city, has seven commanders who understand the righteousness and have gathered two thousand elites to join us.
Rise up."
"The outer gates of the palace include the left and right Yemen, Donghua Gate, Tianbo Gate and Chenhui Gate. The inner gates include the left and right Changqing Gates, the left and right Yintai Gates and the left and right Jiasu Gates. We have made a plan to combine the inside and the outside and pass through Donghua
The gate goes straight into the palace city, breaks through the Jiasu Gate on the left and right, and reaches the forbidden area..."
Zhong Shihao began to describe the specific plan. After listening to it, Li Yan still shook his head.
The commander's eyes were full of loyalty and his heart was full of passion. Unfortunately, the plan he proposed seemed to be feasible, but the hope of success was slim.
The key has two fatal flaws.
The first is that the strength of two thousand troops is so small that the imperial troops led by these commanders must be the best of the best. Not only do they need to defeat more with less, but they also have to defend the major city gates after repeated battles.
Prevent the Imperial Guards from returning to defend and counterattack.
The second is that this plan relies too much on those commanders, and those people did not even appear in this secret room. Perhaps because they were on duty in the palace and could not escape, but since they did not participate in such key discussions, they would hesitate to regret at any time.
possibility, and even report it in advance.
Obviously, with the current manpower under King Jian, once the commanders of the Forbidden Army defect, they will be helpless and have no other option.
Although coups are carried out without leaving any room for error, if they are not strong enough and they are so hasty and desperate, they are too risky.
Zhao Si was quite excited when he heard this, but the mature and prudent eunuch looked even more worried.
But this time, before he could raise any objections, Jia Xiang introduced him: "This Taoist Ling comes from Jinjing Mountain, and he has many weapons and skills to help the general succeed!"
Wen Chen frowned slightly, obviously not trusting such outsiders, but Zhong Shihao asked: "How can I help you, sir?"
Taoist Ling stroked his beard and came out: "The poor Taoist has thunder and fire, which can roar like thunder from the sky, and can produce boundless flames. When the time comes, the forbidden army will be in chaos, and the force will be like a broken bamboo, going straight into the forbidden area!"
Zhong Shihao frowned slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Then we will wait and see!"
Taoist Ling snorted softly and said proudly: "It's okay if you don't believe it, general. I'll go to a demonstration outside the city in the next few days to see for sure!"
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Zhong Shihao also showed a look of expectation. He is a man who knows the tactics, and of course he knows how risky this time is. It would be a good thing if there is some kind of help at this time.
Discussions continued in the court, and most of them were civil servants discussing how to declare the official's guilt and emphasize the justice of their actions. It was basically like opening champagne at half time. Li Yan originally wanted to give guidance so that this coup would at least have an impact on Zhao Ji.
Some threats have now given up.
I can't carry it, I can't carry it at all!
Not only did he give up, Li Yan's eyes returned to Jia Xiang, his eyes flickering slightly.
After thinking for a while, he felt that the time limit for using the remote armor seemed to have expired, and his body rose upwards and returned to the ground.
The effect of the remote armor is absolutely powerful, but it cannot last indefinitely. Since it was used successively in Jinmingchi and Prince Jian's Mansion tonight, the light on the armor has dimmed at this time, and it must wait for the infusion of heaven and earth energy before it can continue to be used.
Li Yan put away the magic weapon, and with the cultivation of the sixth sense, he shuttled through the palace and returned to the wall. He saw Ling Zhen nervously sticking out half of his head, and Xiao Hei, the old god, was writing on the ground.
She was looking for something, and when she saw him coming back, she used her paw to erase the writing on the ground.
Without waiting for Ling Zhen to ask, Li Yan said directly: "Can your uncle's Leihuozi break through the inner palace gate?"
Ling Zhen's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he leaned back, almost pulling away. Fortunately, Xiao Hei was prepared, and slapped his paw on the back, holding him back, and said tremblingly: "My uncle is... going to rebel.
?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yandao: "The behavior is similar, but he may think it is justice for heaven."
Ling Zhen opened his mouth and let out a long sigh: "My uncle wants to be strong in his life. He firmly believes that the thunder fire son he created can determine the outcome of the war. He had many arguments with other brothers on the mountain. This time he went down the mountain to prove that
I didn’t expect to be involved in this kind of thing... Oh!"
Li Yan asked again: "So in your opinion, can Lei Huozi break through the inner palace gate?"
Ling Zhen said: "Single firing of a few thunderbolts only makes a roaring sound, like firecrackers, and is not very powerful. However, thunderbolts can be fired in succession. Once the number is accumulated, a continuous fire can be formed, and the lethality will be very terrifying."
Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then how many Leihuozi does your uncle have?"
Ling Zhen said sadly: "As far as I know, my uncle has at least hundreds of thunder fire seeds in reserve. If he uses them all at once, it will be easy to break through one door. If he really breaks through the palace gate, wouldn't it be a serious crime to kill everyone in the palace?"
Li Yan knew something in his mind: "I have good news and bad news here. The good news is that you don't have to worry about your uncle breaking through the palace gate and affecting his family and even his master. But the bad news is that he himself is very likely to have
Life is in danger.”
Ling Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "I...I don't understand!"
"I don't have any evidence yet, and it's hard to believe me even if I explain it..."
Li Yan paused and asked: "What conditions are required for the tracking compass you just used to lock the target?"
Ling Zhendao: "You need the other person's personal belongings, and you have to wear them with you for at least three days before my compass can track them."
Li Yan took out a piece of paper, it was Jiaozi who was used by Xixia spies to trade evidence of the crimes of a family of generals. He took it from Boss Jia and used it as a personal item: "Can I use this to trace its original owner?
"
Ling Zhen took the Jiaozi and put it on the compass: "If the original owner kept this object close to his body in the recent period, he can trace it. If he just passed it and his aura was covered, he can't trace it...
…”
Just as he was talking, a light spot appeared in the corner. Ling Zhen judged the direction: "It seems that this person is not in the capital, probably in the western suburbs."
The person in that position must be the Xixia spy. Li Yan was somewhat impressed by him: "Your magical weapon is very easy to use. How long can the tracking effect of this object last?"
Ling Zhendao: "In the same three days, Lin Erlang, my uncle..."
Li Yan said: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter, but now you have to follow us to the Imperial City Division."
"Gene Era"
Ling Zhen knew that the matter was of great importance, and the other party would obviously not trust him running around, but when he heard the Imperial City Secretary, his expression changed again: "Why are you going there?"
Li Yan pointed at the compass and said: "The target of your magic weapon is the Xixia spy. It is the duty of the Imperial City Division to capture the spy. Don't worry, the current Chief of the Imperial City Division, Gao Tiju, is a very upright person.
, who hates evil as much as he hates it and is not afraid of power. He is about to come forward to arrest the Xixia traitors!"
Ling Zhen looked slightly relaxed and gritted his teeth: "I know Gao Qingtian's name... Anyway, I'll go with you!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Yan nodded, thinking of Li Gefei who was plotting inside, and said to Xiao Hei: "Write a letter, send it to Li Gefei's home, and give it to the most capable person, asking Li Gefei to pretend to be sick and ask for leave.
In the next five days, no matter what happens, you will not go out again..."
"If his family can't do it, then we have to do it ourselves!"
There is no need to write the last sentence in the letter, and Li Yan will not write the letter himself to avoid leaving evidence. Xiao Hei understood this and jumped up the high wall lightly.
It knew that the matter was of great importance, so this time it did not summon the Five Tiger Generals, but instead marched directly to Li Gefei's house.
It was dark at night, and when he arrived at the house, most of the houses were dark. Xiao Hei bypassed the maids and servants, and as soon as he came to the study, ready to write a letter, he was greeted by the faint smell of alcohol.
