The Human Emperor - zChapter 37

Li Chengyi got what he wanted, and quickly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, and several hidden figures had already greeted him outside the hall.

“how is it?”

Li Chengyi asked.

“His Royal Highness has received the new news and will come soon. No accident, he should have done it immediately when he received the news of His Majesty’s death. In addition, the third prince has been staring at the palace as long as the Taiji Hall is here. There is a change, he should get news soon.”

A hoarse voice said.

“it is good!”

Li Chengyi smiled yin and yin, and his expression was full of self-satisfaction.

“The father died, the eldest brother has no scruples, and the third brother, the mother and concubine are detained and rushed to the crown. There is no room for the slightest change between the two. A big drama is about to be staged. Come on! Big brother. , Third brother, in this big show, see who of us can have the last laugh, the highest laugh!”

The mad voice was still floating, but Li Chengyi led the several figures, disappearing like a ghost in the Tai Chi Hall.

…

“boom!”

The night was low, and a thunderbolt swept across the sky. Before many people could react, the sky above the capital was already covered with dark clouds.

Tai Chi Hall is brightly lit.

Tang Huang’s body had already been taken away. At this time, in the hall, replaced by a heroic figure, dressed in armor and a fierce cloak, sitting here.

The closed door of the Taiji Hall was already open. The eldest prince Li Xuantu had a long sword on his waist, standing like a mountain, but his heart was like the surging air current in the hall, ups and downs.

The father died, the old and the new were changed, the day he had imagined many years ago has really come.

Li Xuantu could not tell whether he was happy or sad, or both.

A huge empire opened its arms to him, but Li Xuantu knew that there were still many things left unfinished, and some things had to be completed before he became the throne.

“did you find it?”

Li Xuan said.

“I have looked for it. There is no jade seal in the Taiji Hall, and no edict of your majesty.”

A voice came from behind, and soon a heavy court minister walked out of the hall.

Li Xuantu frowned and looked solemn when he heard the words.

Although he is the prince and the heir to the throne, without a jade seal or edict, there will be great variables. More importantly, Emperor Tang had personally said that he wanted to make the third prince a prince. This was known to many courtiers.

“What did our spies in Jade Dragon Palace say? Is Yuxi there?”

Li Xuantu said again.

“Our detective level is not high enough, but this possibility is not ruled out. After all, Empress Dou De has been serving her Majesty. It is difficult to say whether her Majesty has passed the Yuxi and the edict to the third prince before this.”

Li Xuantu’s confidant said again.

“Have you found Empress Dou De?”

Li Xuantu suddenly said.

“I found it. The second prince found her in a secret passage southeast of the palace. It seems that his majesty specially arranged a passage for him during his lifetime to send her away, and from the perspective of the direction, she should be sent to the third prince, but unfortunately It was a miss and was discovered by the second prince who had been staring.”

“We have already asked the second prince to send Empress Dou De over according to the instructions of His Highness. However, the second prince said that Empress Dou De seemed to have fainted too much. He has already found an imperial physician to diagnose and treat Empress Dou De. It will be delivered later.”

The confidant behind him said.

“Humph.”

Li Xuantu sneered, how could he not know the cautious thinking of this second brother, but there were some things that he couldn’t help it.

“Tell Chengyi that I am going to see Empress Dou De now, and he does not need to intervene in these things.

“His Royal Highness, although Empress Dou De’s place is important, but the minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to solve the three princes as soon as possible. Your Majesty’s death and the changes in the palace, even if it is late, the third princes should get news at this time.”

“If he really has an edict and a jade seal there, I am afraid that it will be launched soon. The soldiers are very fast. At the moment, Empress Dou De is in the hands of His Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness should take this opportunity to make a quick fight and resolve all uneasy factors as soon as possible. Inherit the ruling, and secure the world!”

The confidant behind him bowed and said solemnly.

Li Xuantu just smiled, how could he not understand these truths.

“Don’t worry, he can’t escape. Everything has been arranged.”

Li Xuantu no longer called himself at this time, but changed his name to Zhen. When the first emperor died, the prince was the next emperor, and everything was justified.

“Third brother, I am the king and the loser now!”

Li Xuantu’s eyes turned, and his last glance passed through the void, looking in the direction of Jade Dragon Palace outside the hall.

…

The Jade Dragon Palace is brightly lit.

“His Royal Highness, the Forbidden Army has moved. In addition, the spies are here to report that the eldest prince has arrived at the Taiji Hall, I am afraid that the hands are tonight, and the safety of your Highness is tied to this battle!”

In the hall, Wang Haibin was dressed in uniform, bowed, and said in a deep voice.

There was a lot of tension in the hall.

Emperor Tang died, although the Jade Dragon Palace was a little late, he also got news. From the moment the news came out, the entire Jade Dragon Palace was full of soldiers and nervous.

Everyone understands the battle for the throne, and tonight has reached the most critical time. When the sun rises tomorrow, Datang will usher in what he thinks is the real king.

Only one of the princes can ascend the Ninth-Five Supreme Position in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and before that, the palace tonight is doomed to bloodshed.

Li Taiyi stood there, motionless.

“His Royal Highness is sorrowful and obedient, and everything is in power, so we must act as soon as possible.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling on one side also stepped forward and spoke. Although he was wearing a Confucian robes, he was obviously wearing a piece of armor under the robe.

It is a matter of life and death, success and failure, including the three princes, everyone’s net worth and lives are determined by the battle tonight.

Li Taiyi took a deep breath and quickly recovered.

The father really left like this. Although Li Taiyi had expected today from the moment that Emperor Tang was in a coma, but when that moment came, Li Taiyi still couldn’t help feeling sad.

But Li Taiyi also knew that it was not a sad time now.

“Has everything been arranged?”

Li Taiyi spoke quickly.

His voice was vigorous and calm, revealing a powerful momentum, and all the negative emotions were constrained by him at this moment.

“His Royal Highness, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong and Zhang Shougui have already rushed to the starry night, but they are bound by military orders, and they don’t have many soldiers and horses. They add up to a total of about 10,000. You should be able to reach the city gate in half an hour.”

In the hall, Albus spoke.

This time, Zhang Shougui and Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, as side generals, were unable to easily mobilize soldiers and horses, nor could they be recruited to the Jade Dragon Palace. Only Albus, because they were Turkic, was relatively easy.

“enough.”

Li Taiyi said lightly.

Although 10,000 soldiers and horses are insignificant compared to the Forbidden Army in the city, this is not the real battlefield, and it is not the strength of both sides that ultimately determines the victory.

“How about the guard outside the palace?”

Li Taiyi spoke again soon.

“Going back to your Highness, we currently have only 7,000 soldiers and horses in our hands among the hundred thousand forbidden troops. I have ordered that everyone is fully on guard to protect the safety of His Royal Highness. However, the eldest prince is in charge of the prince, and the forbidden troops in the palace are in his control. In, just with our current forces, it is probably… difficult to resist the prince.”

Wang Haibin bowed and said, speaking with a solemn expression at the end.

The 100,000 elite Datang Forbidden Army, the Three Princes relying on the previous Longxi military exploits and the help of Empress Dou De only managed to control the 7,000 people around the Yulong Palace. This was still with the help of Wang Haibin, and A friend he met before in the Forbidden Army.

Only with this little force, it is obviously impossible to fight the prince.

“Now that the emperor is dying, the prince wants to use the Forbidden Army to deal with His Royal Highness, but for the time being, he can’t find a legitimate reason, but I am afraid it will not be long.

Wang Haibin paused, then continued.

The eldest prince has always had a very good reputation in the courts and in the field, and his reputation is extremely high. If there is no valid reason, the use of the imperial army against the three princes will be a huge stain in the future. This is the only reason for the palace to remain quiet at present.

But everyone knows that this is just the peace before the storm.

Li Taiyi stood with his hand in his hand, silent, wise rays of light flashed in his eyes.

“almost.”

Li Taiyi said suddenly.

Wow!

As soon as the sound fell, accompanied by bursts of wings breaking through the air, in the blink of an eye, a homing pigeon flew in from the window and landed in Li Taiyi’s palm.

Li Taiyi opened the letterhead, just glanced at it, and his heart sank immediately.

“Report!”

And almost at the same time, a rush of footsteps came from outside the temple, and a palace guard rushed in panic:

“His Majesty, Your Majesty has an order to make your Royal Highness see you immediately.”

“Om!”

As soon as the sound fell, like a thunder, the hall was buzzing.

The Emperor Tang dies, everyone knows where the Tang Emperor’s orders come from without a leader.

“It’s the eldest prince, he is borrowing his life!”

Wang Haibin’s expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly looked at Li Taiyi ahead.

This is Yangmou. The first emperor is dead, but all news is blocked. Only the eldest prince, the third prince, and the second prince know the news.

In the current situation, if the third prince refuses to enter the urn, he is defying the emperor’s order, and the eldest prince has sufficient reasons to attack everyone in Jade Dragon Palace.

And if you see him now, the three princes can only enter the palace alone, which is tantamount to throwing themselves into the trap.

The prince is finally about to do it!

“His Royal Highness, what does the letter say.”

At this moment, Wang Jiuling suddenly spoke, and his eyes fell on the letter paper in Li Taiyi’s hand.

“A letter from our spies in the East Palace that Empress Dou De was imprisoned in the East Palace. Besides, this letter… Although it is ours, it is not our secret sign.”

Li Taiyi said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuling suddenly understood that the person who really wrote this letter was not their spy, but the prince Li Xuantu. He was telling Li Taiyi by Chi Guoguo that Empress Dou De was in his hands. Li Taiyi would probably think twice before making up his mind.

To enter the palace is to die, and to die if you do not enter the palace, and to catch up with Empress Dou De, there are not many choices in front of Li Taiyi.

“Your Highness.”

Wang Jiuling looked at Li Taiyi in front of him with a heavy heart. In any case, this is by no means good news.

“I have my own opinion on this matter, so let’s discuss the Taiji Palace matter for now.”

Li Taiyi said.

His eyes were calm, as if the whole thing had already been calculated.

Snapped!

With a flick of Li Taiyi’s finger, two strands of purple gas ejected one after another, shattering the two silk ropes that were tied to the reels, and the silk rope broke. The next moment, opposite the gate of Jade Dragon Palace, a rolled up map of the Capital of Tang Dynasty unfolded.

The entire defense of the capital, including the 100,000 imperial troops, was clearly marked on this huge map. And there are many marks on the map with Chinese pen.

——This is a complete attack and defense map, and only the people of Yulong Palace understand its specific meaning.

As the map unfolded, as if possessing some kind of magic power, everyone’s eyes were attracted to the past.

“Wang Jiuling, Wang Haibin, Albus…, the next thing is up to you.”

Li Taiyi said solemnly.

“Yes!”

Everyone bowed.

…
