His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defied all opinions and went out of the city to Baqiao to "welcome the Holy Emperor" regardless of being threatened by various forces. Naturally, all parties in the DPRK and China paid close attention to every move that took place outside Chunming Gate. Countless scouts came and went constantly, and any slightest sign of trouble came. It will be sent back as soon as possible.
Although most people think that Li Ji will not risk the disapproval of the world and brazenly go to war with the East Palace and imitate Guan Long to carry out another mutiny, but after all, Li Ji has taken various measures since he withdrew his troops from Liaodong. Even if the East Palace is in danger, it may overthrow at any time. But he was indifferent and kept on his way unhurriedly. Even though he led his army back to Tongguan, he still couldn't retreat. He even blocked the pass and watched the Chang'an war raging. Who knows what he had in mind?
It is not impossible for him to sacrifice his heroic reputation and swear to destroy the East Palace and establish a new crown prince...
When the news that Li Ji dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground, shouting "Welcome to the Holy Master" was sent back to Chang'an, all forces thought that this was reasonable. After all, the so-called "edict" could only be heard but not seen. The earth was just a certain People deliberately released rumors in order to mislead others. Of course, this news made some people happy and others worried. The interests and demands were different, and the expected situation was also different. If Li Ji returned to the East Palace, the power and interests of many people would be greatly reduced.
Power is intoxicating and can sometimes make people lose their minds. Therefore, even though Li Ji returned to the East Palace, some people are still making small calculations, planning whether they can provoke all parties and then profit from it, such as those trapped in Dayun Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. The remnants of Guanlong...
This is not impossible. After all, Li Ji's various actions showed his rebelliousness towards the prince. Even if he chose to surrender and cease the war due to the situation, how could he be willing to do so?
However, when His Majesty Li Er "resurrected from the dead" and the news came that the Yu family was about to arrive in Chang'an, all the plans hidden in the dark melted away in an instant like boiling soup and pouring snow.
Inside and outside Chang'an, both the government and the public were speechless.
Relatives, royal relatives, and dignitaries were the first to receive the news. They were immediately shocked and speechless. They were all stunned, dumbfounded and in disbelief...
How can it be?
After repeated speculations and screenings, all the family members and military forces came up with such an unconfirmed but almost certain truth - otherwise, how could the Guanlong family dare to raise their troops to destroy the East Palace, and would not hesitate to kill them? Chang'an was destroyed in the war; how could Li Ji dare to let Guan Long attack the East Palace violently, but sit with a large army watching the fire from the other side?
After being shocked and stunned, everyone realized that since His Majesty Li Er released the news of his death and avoided seeing anyone, and Li Ji knew the inside story but cooperated and turned a blind eye to the Chang'an mutiny, wouldn't it encourage those who participated in the mutiny but had bad intentions? Acting recklessly?
What this means is no longer clear...
The high-ranking family members and dignitaries only care about their immediate interests. Once their interests are damaged, father and son will turn against each other, and brothers will fight against each other. It is not uncommon. The admiration for His Majesty Li Er cannot cover up the gains and losses of his own interests, so His Majesty Li Er " When the news came, the first thing I thought about was the gain and loss of my own interests, and how to operate in the upcoming drastic changes in the court to gain more benefits and avoid more losses.
On the contrary, for ordinary soldiers and civilians, traffickers and lackeys, the interests and gains and losses of the empire's top officials are too far away from them, not only unable to participate, but even unable to feel, so when the news of His Majesty Li Er's "resurrection from the dead" began in Chang'an City Diffusion, the performance of these people is more direct and purer!
As the news spread, all the streets in Chang'an City began to boil. Countless people walked out of their homes and wanted to go to the streets or even go out of the city to greet the Holy Emperor. However, all the towns had already received orders to prevent people from taking to the streets, and there were even soldiers and horses led by the Sixth Army of the East Palace to give them.
Suppression was imposed, so the people could only be trapped in their own villages, and this excitement could not be vented.
Government offices and yamen at all levels in Chang'an City are keenly aware that something is wrong. The suppressed ecstasy and excitement of the soldiers and civilians is like ignited gunpowder in a barrel. Now it is ignited by the excitement of His Majesty's return, and will be released violently.
There are sparks and heat, but if the lid of the barrel is closed, the passionate emotions cannot be released, and it is very likely to burst completely.
However, there is no problem with the disposal of the East Palace. Once the hundreds of thousands of people living in various places flood the streets, they will lose all restraints. The excited crowd will trigger any unpredictable situation, and then turn into a riot that sweeps the entire Chang'an.
At this time, the most fearful thing is that someone secretly instigates and encourages the excited people, and even thinks of creating any emergencies to guide the people and completely detonate this emotion...
…
Li Junxian stood in Hongde Square, looking at the neat courtyard wall in front of him and the towering ancient trees of the Jiduni Temple. He raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Behind him, the "Hundred Cavalry Division" had already joined forces with the Jingzhao Mansion officials to surround the entire Hongdefang, three floors outside and three floors outside. A "commando team" composed of hundreds of elites had also been assembled, just waiting for him to say
After receiving the order, he broke into the Jiduni Temple and captured the "human trafficker"...
Chamberlain Liu in Princess Fangling's residence fell into the hands of the "Baiqisi", and he quickly explained the whole story clearly under torture. However, these people were well organized and performed their own duties. Chamberlain Liu did not know about these people.
The lair in Chang'an City and the identity of the main envoy.
"Baiqisi" could only arrest the accomplices on the confession list one by one, and then interrogate them on the spot. They followed the pictures bit by bit and followed the clues, and finally determined that Jiduni Temple was the lair where those people were hiding in Chang'an City.
Behind Gu/span, a captain walked quickly and whispered: "General, everyone is ready and can enter and arrest at any time."
Li Junxian opened his mouth, but did not immediately issue an order to attack.
He indeed has the prince's order and can arrest anyone anywhere in Chang'an City at all costs, but the Jiduni Temple in front of him, which was rebuilt from the former residence of Yang Jun, King of Sui and Qin, is a very special existence——
Who would have thought that the chamberlains who betrayed Emperor Gaozu were now hiding in one of the temples where Emperor Gaozu's concubines who had never given birth to children were led to practice?
It should be noted that these people are not only the chamberlains in the palace, but also an extremely large number of dead soldiers. These dead soldiers are hiding in the Jiduni Temple. They will inevitably come into contact with the concubines all day long, and some love affairs between men and women will occur.
Things are almost certain. Once he completely overthrows this place and exposes many unspeakable things to the public, what kind of public reaction will it trigger?
You must know that although Emperor Gaozu is dead, he gave birth to more than twenty sons in total. Most of these princes and royal highnesses are still alive and trusted by His Majesty Li Er. They all hold great power. It is conceivable that he destroyed the Jiduni Temple.
Afterwards, the public opinion was in an uproar, and his father's affairs with countless concubines were spread, and he was afraid that he would be torn apart...
The school captain seemed to be aware of his parents' concerns, and reminded him in a low voice: "Everything that has advantages has disadvantages. How can we not fire an arrow when it is on the string?"
No one wants to offend those arrogant and domineering princes, but this order was given by the prince. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, how can he back down?
Li Junxian understood this truth, so he immediately gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Come in and remove all the nuns in the temple. If anyone resists, we will kill them without mercy!"
He is now completely on the side of the East Palace, but he really doesn’t have much to offer, so why not use the monastery in front of him to make a pledge? Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, and he, as the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", seems to be quite good.
Some people sit down, even if the emperor changes, they are still the emperor's confidants, so why should they be afraid of those princes and highnesses?
Furthermore, this group of people has been hiding in Chang'an City for I don't know how many years. The lurking is too deep. Once they make any move, it will be difficult to prevent it. If something big happens while the situation between the DPRK and China is unstable, I, a "hundred-year-old man", will not be able to prevent it.
"Qisi" commander is a crime of negligence, and the crime will not be forgiven.
Hundreds of elites behind him were ready to go. After the order was given, they immediately rushed out. The people in front squatted under the wall, and the people behind stepped on the shoulders of their comrades to rush up the wall. Then the soldiers at the wall stepped back and ran up, stepping on the wall.
, was pulled up by the hand of Pao Ze on the wall, and then they turned into the courtyard together.
Hundreds of well-trained elites served as the vanguard of the troops and climbed into the temple from the top of the wall. In a moment, the door opened, and more soldiers trotted neatly into the door. Spears, horizontal knives, shields, and crossbows were arranged layer by layer.
They moved forward, cooperating with each other and pulling away from each other, rushing towards the pavilions and palaces in the temple like mercury pouring down the ground, just like a siege war taking place in a small area.
The opponent's dead soldiers are indeed brave, but they are used for assassinations and assassinations during training. The quality of individual soldiers may be better, but in this kind of coordinated army fighting scene, one is equal to ten and it is versatile.
In a moment, exclamations, shouts, and screams erupted in the temple, and the fighting became fierce.
Li Junxian stood outside the temple gate with a knife on his waist. There were soldiers holding umbrellas behind him. He took out the drawings of Jiduni Temple in his arms and unfolded them. He kept listening to the messages from the soldiers from inside the temple and directed the battle according to the drawings.
"Report! There was a nun in the front hall who tried to stop him. He was knocked unconscious and put aside. The troops have already rushed into various Buddhist temples."
"Suspicious servants were found in several Buddhist temples and fought with knives. They have been beheaded!"
"There are a large number of dead soldiers in several monasteries in the backyard, and they are fighting fiercely!"
Li Junxian knew that soldiers were valuable and quick. These people had been operating here for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be secret passages to escape. Now that he was launching a surprise attack, the enemy was in a hurry to fight. What if the battle was delayed and gave the enemy a chance to breathe?
You have to escape part of it.
"When necessary, use thunder to bombard us and achieve quick victory!"
Li Junxian gritted his teeth and ordered, even if he accidentally injured the nun in the temple, he would not care much.
At this moment, the news of His Majesty Li Er's return to the capital has gradually spread in Chang'an City. The people in several villages near Hongde Fang cannot suppress their ecstasy and are trying to attack the soldiers and go out of the city to meet His Majesty...
