Published at 27th of October 2023 05:36:00 AM

Chang'an City was in chaos. The news of Li Yin's assassination quickly spread to various places through the already popular communication system in Datang. Every force had to make a choice that would affect the future at this time.

Li Yin was in the shadow guard's secret base at this time, and Li Rui intercepted a lot of information in just this short period of time. From this information, they analyzed that these people reacted in embarrassment, and at the same time, they identified who was the loyal minister. , who is a traitor.

"Let's start to act." The chaos in Chang'an has already given Li Yin the information he wants, and there is no need to continue the chaos. At this time, the troops organized by various local clans have begun to besiege the local government offices in an attempt to To control Datang's regime, what he wants is to let all these hidden forces jump out, so that he can get rid of the hidden cancer once and for all.

After receiving Li Yin's order, the clone army deployed in various places immediately took action to attack the rebels who appeared. At the same time, Li Rui sent all the information of these rebel leaders to Li Ran, asking them to arrest them all. At the same time, Li Yin ordered the Tang army to control dissident generals in the army, and control the situation to further expand. After all, he didn't want his good country to be beaten into a mess. In the Daming Palace, Shangguanyi and Changsun Wuji are both in the Daming Palace at this time, and other officials are also gathered here for refuge. At the same time, the most important thing is that they have disagreements on the succession of the throne.

"Shangguanyi, what is your intention? Li Ren is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the eldest son of the emperor. He should have inherited the throne. Li Yun is only the third prince. How can he be qualified to inherit the throne?" Changsun Wuji pointed at Shangguan Yi scolded.

Cui Yingying's face was pale at this time, and she pointed to Shangguanyi and said: "Hmph, I told the emperor to be wary of you back then, but the emperor just didn't listen. Today you really showed your wolfish ambitions. Among the three princes, only Li Yun has no one behind her." Power. As long as he becomes the emperor, you can safely control the Tang government, right?"

Shangguanyi smiled softly when he heard the words, he knew that Cui Yingying had always been wary of him, if Li Ren was allowed to ascend the throne, he would have a worse life in the future, so it is better to fight hard now, Liu Yanyu's son Li Yun will succeed him, Liu Yanyu has always been timid and docile, the mother and son are still at his mercy, while Cui Yingying is strong. Prince Li Ren was also taught to be quite like Li Min, and he was indeed difficult to control, "Empress, to tell you the truth, now the commander of the Central Army outside the city is my nephew, who commanded the artillery under the pseudonym Dong Hao 15 years ago. , Only he can mobilize the 100,000 central army, in order to cut out the rebels and get rid of the traitors. I hope the empress will think about it." Said, Shangguanyi deliberately took a look at Changsun Wuji. "You!" Cui Yingying's chest heaved violently. She didn't expect that Shangguanyi had been planning for so long, and now Cheng Huailiang's new army and the rebel army were fighting fiercely. The two sides fought on equal footing, and the only way to stabilize the situation was to dispatch the Central Army. After all, it would take several hours for the troops of Xue Rengui, Qin Huaiyu and others to arrive. Among many armies, the Central Army's combat power is the first. If the 100,000 Central Army is really what Shangguanyi said. Obedience to that Dong Hao's order will be really troublesome.

Sit down dejectedly, Cui Yingying felt powerless like never before, at this moment she had to weigh the seriousness of this matter.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the faces of the Chang'an officials were dark. Shangguanyi's hole card made them lose completely. The new army could not fight against the central army. When he was frustrated, suddenly dozens of imperial guards went straight into the main hall, and a lieutenant at the head took out a roster and read: "Shangguanyi, Du Yuren..., arrest them all."

The officials were frightened out of their wits when the group of guards with live ammunition broke in. When the roster was read out, Shangguanyi could no longer describe it in shock. She stood still, because these people were all It took him a while to point to the school captain of the Imperial Guard who he had cultivated over the years: "Who are you? Talking nonsense here."...

The school lieutenant glanced at Shangguanyi, ignored him, and said to Cui Yingying: "I would like to report to the empress, the emperor is well, let me bring a message to the ministers and stay in Daming Palace for now, and wait until he puts down the rebellion. Explain this to the ministers."

"What? Isn't the emperor?" Cui Yingying immediately stood up and asked in disbelief.

The captain said: "Your Majesty, everything is fine. He is currently in charge of the Central Army. The generals of the major military regions have been ordered to suppress the rebellion in various states. Please rest assured, Empress."

This time, Cui Yingying heard the truth, and she was relieved. At this time, she found the backbone again, as long as Li Yin is still alive, and some ministers are also crying with joy. Over the years, they have watched Datang grow day by day. Well, I just hope that Datang can continue like this for a long time, and never want to see Datang in chaos again. This news undoubtedly made them extremely excited.

But Shangguanyi and some officials were all ashamed, and Li Yin was still alive, and everything they carefully arranged would be vulnerable, because no one knew that Li Yin was still alive, and would continue to fight.

"Suppress them all." Cui Yingying pointed at Shangguan Yi, and then said to the other ministers: "Since this is the emperor's words, you should stay in Daming Palace and wait for the emperor."

"Yes, empress!" A group of officials shouted loudly. Like Cui Yingying, they found the backbone again, and immediately settled down, without the panic they had before.

As soon as this was said, there was a fierce exchange of fire outside the Daming Palace. The imperial guards guarding the Daming Palace and the rebels had already started exchanging fire. Judging from the sound of the guns, it was obvious that the firepower of the Imperial Guards was even fiercer. , which reassured officials even more.

In the camp of the Central Army, the army commanded by Li Yin has already attacked Chang'an City from three directions: east, west, and south. Only the north gate was left for the rebels. According to news, there are 20,000 rebels in the city. It will take a while, and this will cause great damage to Chang'an. If Li Yin occupies four city gates, the rebels will definitely resist desperately. If one gate is left behind, the rebels will definitely flee along the north gate. From time to time, the central military base ambushing outside the north gate can wipe out these rebels.

In the barracks, Li Yin issued an order to Dong Hao. Shangguan Yi was too confident. This Dong Hao had been checked out by Su Mo'er long ago. In order to follow the plan, Li Yin pardoned Dong Hao's capital crime and let him wait for him. Contributing to the crime, Dong Hao has been working for Li Yin all these years, and told him some things that Shangguanyi had secretly talked with him, so in these years, Li Yin will release him in this way, and even support the Changan faction to constrain him, just hope that Shangguanyi can wake up, All in all, he has been with him for so many years, and he doesn't want to meet with each other one day, but desire is terrible, not everyone can escape it.

The Central Army was ordered to quickly assemble and attack Chang'an. These Central Army soldiers rode in Humvees equipped with heavy machine guns and carried grenades on their bodies. Both the equipment and combat experience were not comparable to the rebels equipped with rifles from World War I. In just half an hour, the soldiers in the center had captured three city gates, and then they began to enter Chang'an to clear the rest of the rebels.

The battle at the gate of the Daming Palace was extremely fierce at this time. Chai Lingwu led five thousand dead soldiers from the new army to continuously attack the Daming Palace, but the fierce firepower made his attacks fail again and again, leaving only a place in front of the gate of the Daming Palace. The corpses of five thousand soldiers were broken in half in just half an hour.

"General, it's not good. The Central Army is coming. All the three city gates in the east, west and south have been lost. Now the Central Army is rushing here." A blood-stained soldier ran over and shouted.

"What!" Chai Lingwu was stunned. He suddenly realized that all their plans had failed. Holding the emperor to order the princes was just empty talk. He thought that the five thousand new troops would deal with the five hundred guards stationed at the Daming Palace. The army is very easy, but he didn't expect that the number of the Imperial Guards here is quite a few, two thousand, and the Central Army came to fight again at this time, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind-"They hit Li What a trap!"
