Chapter 791 Li Xian sets out, Li Bin enters the city
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the deposed Crown Prince Li Xian left the Eastern Palace.
Among his sons, Li Chongfu, Li Chongjun and Li Chongmao all decided to go to the underworld with him. They had already drunk the poisonous wine and fell to the ground.
Among all the princesses, only Princess Yongtai Li Xianhui was left alive by him, and the rest all died in the Eastern Palace.
Li Xian held his fourteen-year-old eldest son Li Chongrun in one hand and his eleven-year-old daughter Li Xianhui in the other. Li Chongrun also held his Princess Shao Wu Yuanmo's hand. This year, Wu Yuanmo was only twelve years old.
Looking at the three children, Li Xian lowered his head, rubbed Li Chongrun's face, and then touched the little heads of Li Xianhui and Wu Yuanmo.
"My dears, tonight, Daddy will find you a new home. Don't ever think of me again. I'm incompetent and have made you live in fear with me for so many years."
"Dad, I love you too."
He bent down and held all three children in his arms.
At this moment, outside the East Palace, the soldiers who walked as fast as dragons and tigers were ready.
Li Duozuo, the general of the Left Winged Guard, Jing Hui, the general of the Right Winged Guard, Huan Yanfan, the commander of the guards of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, and Yang Zaisi, the guest of the Crown Prince, were waiting for orders from Li Xian.
"My dears, when you get to your new home, you must obey your new father and behave well. After this nightmare is over, your uncle, Li Cunxi, the Prince of Qin, will find a good home for you."
"Remember, you must live a good life, don't get involved in politics, and don't serve as an official in the court."
"Zhongrun, Daddy is not able to protect you. From now on, you three must help each other. Do you hear me?"
Li Xian repeatedly expressed his hope that the three children could live well.
He looked at his eldest son Li Chongrun very seriously. This son was his only hope in this life.
He depends on this son to continue his offspring.
"Dad, I understand."
Li Chongrun tried hard not to cry, but his eyes were still red.
"A real man should stand tall and proud. A child who never cries is my good son, Li Xian!"
"Follow me, I will take you to find your new father."
……
Luoyang was peaceful that night.
Outside the Changchun Gate, tens of thousands of Youwuwei troops who had gathered there at some point in time held their breath, waiting for the city gate to be opened.
After a full half hour, hundreds of bad people quietly took over the city gate. The bad leader Xu Ji sent people to open the city gate and let the Right Guard Army enter the city.
Li Jing, the general of the Right Guard, rode into Luoyang and immediately sent people to take over the city defenses.
Finally, he looked at the deputy general who had followed him for eight years and asked:
"I have something very important that I need you to do, but you might lose your head if you do it. Do you dare to go?"
The deputy general was so grateful for Li Yan's kindness that he would not hesitate to risk his life, let alone go through fire and water.
So, he clasped his fists and said loudly, "Your Highness, please speak. I will not refuse even if I die!"
"Good!" Li Yan's eyes lit up. "Gao Sheji, you lead an army of 10,000 and storm the Zuo Jianmen Guard camp. If you can defeat them, attack and kill them all. If you can't defeat them, don't retreat even a single step until my new orders arrive!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Gao Sheji turned around and left, led 10,000 soldiers, and headed straight for the left guard camp.
He knew that Wu Youning, the General of the Left Guard, was the last prince of the Wu family who held military power. As long as Wu Youning was killed, no matter what happened in the Taichu Palace, the emperor would not be able to wait for the support of the Wu family.
With this thought in mind, Gao Sheji didn't think any more and soon blocked the way outside the Zuojianmenwei military camp.
He held a spear in his hand and shouted:
"Within an hour, I want to see the head of General Wu Youning, the Left Guard. Whoever kills Wu Youning will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
In the camp of the Zuojianmen Guard army, Wu Youning woke up from his sleep and heard terrifying shouts and cries of killing in Luoyang city.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Turks have invaded?"
He quickly stood up, put on his armor, and hurried out.
At this moment, the general under his command ran over and hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"Oh no, General! Something's happened! The Right Guard has entered the city and launched a sudden attack on us. They're threatening to take your head within an hour! Run!"
"Run?" Wu Youning remained calm at this moment. "I can't go anywhere now. Li Yan of the Right Guard wants my life, so let him take it. I want to see what Li Yan will do when His Majesty reacts and mobilizes the army to destroy them!"
……
After assigning the generals to guard the gates, Li Bin took the bad commander Xu Ji to the agreed location to meet Li Jiao, the successor to Prince Pu.
At the Prince Pu's Mansion, Li Jiao had already changed into new clothes, said goodbye to his mother, and comforted his wife and children. Then he went to the street under the protection of the guards.
Not far away, he saw Li Bin, the general of the Right Guard. After the two looked at each other from a distance, Li Bin walked forward with a sword in his hand, sitting on his horse and looking down at Li Jiao.
"I didn't expect you to be so brave as to follow me down a path of no return. Okay!"
"Li Jiao, after this operation to punish Wu is over, the decades-long feud between our two families will be written off. How about that?"
Li Jiao threw his head back and laughed, then he took a horse from Xu Ji and mounted it.
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you!"
"Cousin, from now on, the feud between the Crown Prince and Prince Pu ends between you and me. From now on, our two families will be as close as a family!"
Li Yan nodded heavily.
"From today on, our two families will be as close as a family!"
Li Jing, who had beaten Li Jiao for many years, recognized him at this moment. Just because he was willing to risk his life and property to participate in the battle of Zhu Wu, he recognized him as a man.
The other party is much stronger than the King of Wei Li Tai back then, and he can recognize such a person.
The two rode side by side, preparing to head to Taichu Palace.
It takes a while to get to Taichu Palace from here. They must rush there as quickly as possible, block the entrances and exits of Taichu Palace, and trap the emperor in Taichu Palace.
On the other side, the deposed Crown Prince Li Xian, who wanted to find a new home for his son, daughter and daughter-in-law, came to the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion with a large group of soldiers.
Li Duozuo, the general of the Left Yulin Guard, arrived at the scene first and immediately sent people to block the entrance of the Prince of Wei's mansion.
The doorman and the servants were so frightened that they trembled with fear and immediately informed King Wei Wu Chengsi.
King Wu Chengsi of Wei, who had been restless, woke up from his sleep, comforted Gong Zhao, and then got up and left.
Lao Bai stood outside his door with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, the Left Imperial Guards have surrounded us."
"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. I will go meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."
In the backyard, Lao Hei didn't care about the difference between master and servant. After knocking down a servant, he ran to Wu Yanhao's house and knocked on the door.
Wu Yanhao and Cui Luo next to him woke up in shock. Cui Luo wanted to get up and open the door, but was hugged by Wu Yanhao.
"Be good, take a good rest, I'll go check on you."
