The Human Emperor Chapter 37: The respective layout!
Li Chengyi got what he wanted, and quickly walked out of Taiji Hall, and several secret figures had already greeted him outside the palace.
"How?"
Li Chengyi asked.
"Your Majesty Crown Prince has received new news and will come soon. There is no accident. He should have done it immediately after receiving the news of His Majesty’s death. In addition, Third Imperial Prince has been staring at the palace as long as Taiji Hall There is a change, he should get news soon."
A hoarse voice said.
"Good!"
Li Chengyi smiled yin and yin, and his expression was full of pride and pride.
"The death of Father Emperor, 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. Big brother, third brother, this big show, see who of us can have the last laugh, the top laugh!"
The frenzied voice is still floating, but Li Chengyi led the several figures, disappearing like a ghost in Taiji Hall.
……
"Boom!"
The night was low, and a thunderstorm swept across the sky. Before many people could react, the sky over the entire capital was already covered with clouds.
Taiji Hall, brightly lit.
The corpse of Emperor Tang had already been taken away. At this time, in the hall, a heroic figure, dressed in armor and a fierce cloak, was sitting here.
The closed door of Taiji Hall has long been opened. First Imperial Prince Li Xuantu has a long knife at his waist, standing like a mountain, but his heart is like the surging air current in the hall, ups and downs.
Father Emperor died, the old and the new changed, the day he envisioned many years ago really arrived.
Li Xuantu couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, or both.
A huge Empire opened his arms to him, but Li Xuantu knew that there were still many things left unfinished, and some things had to be done before he took the throne.
"Did you find it?"
Li Xuan figured.
"I have looked for it, there is no Jade Ruler Seal in Taiji Hall, and no edict of your majesty was found."
A voice came from behind, and soon a in-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 Jade Ruler Seal, without the edict, there will be great variables. More importantly, Emperor Tang had personally said that he wanted to change Third Imperial Prince as the prince, which was known to many courtiers.
"What did our spies in Yulong Palace say? Is Jade Ruler Seal there?"
Li Xuantu said again.
"Our spy 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 Jade Ruler Seal and the edict to Third Imperial Prince before this."
Li Xuantu's confidant said again.
"Have you found Empress Dou De?"
Li Xuantu suddenly spoke.
"I found it. Second Imperial Prince found her in a secret passage southeast of Imperial Palace. It seems that your Majesty arranged a passage for him to send her away. From the perspective of the direction, she should be sent to Third Imperial Prince. It's a pity that it was a bad move and was discovered by Second Imperial Prince who had been staring at it."
"We have asked Second Imperial Prince to send Empress Dou De over according to His Highness’s intentions. However, Second Imperial Prince said, Empress Dou De appeared to have fainted too much. He has already found an imperial physician to treat Empress Dou De. Maybe It will be delivered later."
The confidant behind him said.
"Huh."
Li Xuantu sneered, how could he not know the careful thoughts of this second brother, but there are some things that he can't help it.
"Tell Chengyi, I am going to see Empress Dou De now, he does not need meddle for these things."
"His Majesty, although Dou De's place is important, humble official believes that the most important thing at the moment is to solve Third Imperial Prince as soon as possible. Your Majesty's death and a change in the palace, Third Imperial Prince should get news at this time even if it is late."
"If he really has the edict and Jade Ruler Seal there, I'm afraid 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 battle and resolve all concerns as soon as possible. Factors, inherit Great Lineage as soon as possible to secure the world!"
The confidant behind him bowed and said solemnly.
Li Xuantu just smiled, how can he not understand these Intrisic Principle.
"Don't worry, he can't escape. Everything has been arranged."
Li Xuantu no longer claimed to be himself at this time, but changed his name to Zhen. The first emperor died, the prince is the next Emperor, everything is justified.
"Third brother, winner is the king, loser is the villain, don't blame me now!"
Li Xuantu's eyes turned, and his last glance flicked through the void, looking towards the Jade Dragon Palace outside the hall.
……
The Jade Dragon Palace is brightly lit.
"His Royal Highness, Imperial Guard has moved. In addition, the spies have reported that First Imperial Prince has arrived at Taiji Hall. I am afraid that it will be done tonight. Your Highness's safety is tied to this battle!"
In the hall, Wang Haibin is dressed in military uniform, bowed, gravely says.
There was a lot of tension in the hall.
Emperor Tang died. Although the Jade Dragon Palace was a little late, he also received 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, Great Tang will usher in the real king.
Only one of the princes can ascend to the ninety-five-fifth place in Hall of Supreme Harmony, and before that, tonight's Imperial Palace is destined to bleed.
Li Taiyi stood there, motionless.
"His Royal Highness is sorrowful and obedient, and everything is in power, now we must act as soon as possible."
At this moment, the Wang Jiuling on one side also stepped forward to speak. Although he was wearing a Confucian clothing, but under robe was obviously wearing a armor.
It's a matter of life and death, winner is the king, loser is the villain, including Third Imperial Prince, everyone's net worth and lives are determined by the battle tonight.
Li Taiyi took a deep breath and quickly recovered.
Father Emperor really left like this. Although Li Taiyi had expected today from the moment that Emperor Tang was in a coma, Li Taiyi still couldn't help feeling sad when that moment came.
But Li Taiyi also knows that this is not a sad time.
"Has everything been arranged?"
Li Taiyi spoke quickly.
His voice is vigorous and calm, revealing a powerful momentum, and all the negative emotions have been reduced by him at this moment.
"His Royal Highness, Zhangchou Jianqiong and Zhang Shougui have already rushed to the stars, but the two people military order have not many military force(s), and they add up to a total of about 10,000. one hour should be able to reach the city gate."
In the hall, Albus said.
This time military force(s) is transferred, Zhang Shougui and Zhangchou Jianqiong will be difficult to transfer easily, nor can they be recruited to Yulong Palace. Only Albus, because it is Turkic People, is relatively easier.
"Enough."
Li Taiyi indifferently said.
Although the ten thousand military force(s) is insignificant compared to the Imperial Guard in the city, this is not the real battlefield, and the final decision is not the strength of both sides.
"How about the guards outside the palace?"
Li Taiyi spoke again soon.
"Going back to Your Highness, in hundred thousand Imperial Guard, we currently have only seven thousand military force(s). I have ordered that everyone is fully on guard and guards your Royal Highness. But First Imperial Prince is in charge of the crown prince, and the Imperial Guard in the palace is in his control. , If we want to resist First Imperial Prince only with our current team, I’m afraid...it’s difficult."
Wang Haibin bowed, and at the end, his expression was extremely solemn.
hundred thousand's elite Great Tang Imperial Guard and Third Imperial Prince rely on the previous Longxi battle exploits and the help of Empress Dou De, and they only controlled the 7,000 people around the Yulong Palace. This is still with the help of Wang Haibin and his Friends you met before in Imperial Guard.
Only with this little force, it is obviously impossible to fight First Imperial Prince.
"Now that the emperor is dying, the prince wants to use Imperial Guard to deal with His Royal Highness. For the time being, I can't find a legitimate reason, but I am afraid it will not be long."
Wang Haibin paused, then continued.
First Imperial Prince has always had a very good reputation both inside and outside the country and has a very high reputation. If there is no valid reason, using Imperial Guard against Third Imperial Prince will be a huge stain in the future. This is the only reason for Imperial Palace to keep 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, with wise lights shining in his eyes.
"It's coming soon."
Li Taiyi spoke suddenly.
Wow!
As soon as the sound fell, accompanied by bursts of feathers 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!"
Almost at the same time, a rush of footsteps came from outside the hall, and an Imperial Palace guard rushed in with a panic expression:
"His Majesty, Your Majesty has an order, so that His Highness will see you immediately."
"wēng!"
When the sound fell, like a thunder, the hall was buzzing.
Emperor Tang died. Everyone knows where the Great Tang group of dragons is headless, and where the Emperor Tang came from.
"It's First Imperial 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, and the only ones who really know the news are First Imperial Prince, Third Imperial Prince, and Second Imperial Prince.
In the current situation, if Third Imperial Prince refuses to enter the urn, it is against the emperor's order. First Imperial Prince has sufficient reasons to attack the people in Jade Dragon Palace.
If you see it now, Third Imperial Prince can only enter the temple alone, which is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net.
First Imperial Prince is finally about to do it!
"His Royal Highness, what does the letter say."
At this moment, Wang Jiuling suddenly spoke, and his gaze 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. In addition, this letter... Although it is ours, it is not our secret sign."
Li Taiyi said.
Wang Jiuling heard this and immediately understood that the person who really wrote this letter was not their spy, but First Imperial 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 don’t 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 opinions on this matter. Let's discuss Taiji Hall matters now."
Li Taiyi said.
His eyes are calm, it seems that the whole thing has already been calculated.
Slap!
Li Taiyi flicked his finger, and two strands of purple gas ejected one after another, breaking the two silk ropes that were tied to the scrolls. The silk rope broke, the next moment, opposite the Jade Dragon Palace gate, and a rolled up Great Tang Jingshi map unfolded .
The defense of the entire Jingshi, including hundred thousand Imperial Guard, is 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, 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 gravely says.
"Yes!"
Everyone bowed.
