At this time, we were located high on a mountain peak due east of Chang'an, and we could clearly see the scene to the west. A large number of soldiers gathered outside Chang'an City, surrounding the huge Chang'an City. Visual estimation showed that there were at least 50,000 soldiers.

Unlike the torches outside the city, the city was pitch black, and even the bustling East City had little light.

Seeing this situation, I immediately knew that something was going on, and it was something serious. The soldiers outside the city were in an offensive formation, and they were not wearing garrison uniforms. This showed that these soldiers came from other places besides Chang'an.

After a short observation, he used Chasing Wind Ghost Step to quickly approach the city under the cover of night. As the distance approached, he quickly saw clearly the words on the military flags in the formation. There were more than one military flags, and the words on them were different.

, respectively "Li" and "King of Longxi County".

When I saw the military flag, I immediately understood that the person coming was Fengxiang, Li Maozhen, the military governor of Longyou and Longyou. Li Maozhen, like Wang Jian, Li Keyong, Zhu Quanzhong and others, were all vassal towns that respected their troops, and this man had a lot of troops under his command.

There are fifteen to two hundred thousand.

Seeing that the person coming was Li Maozhen, I felt a sudden shock in my heart. Although Li Maozhen did not openly rebel against the imperial court, he had long been estranged from the imperial court, and he usually stationed troops in Fengxiang. His army marched thousands of miles eastward and besieged Chang'an. Naturally, he came with bad intentions.

No matter how many soldiers there are outside the city, there will never be any loopholes. Approach the city wall from the sparsely populated area and avoid the defenders on the wall to climb over the wall and enter the city.

At this time, there were no passers-by on the streets in the city, and there were no even watchmen. Only the garrison responsible for the defense of the outer city was patrolling back and forth. This was a situation that only occurred during the curfew. In addition, there were no traces of war in the city, which shows that although Li Maozhen

They surrounded Chang'an but did not attack by force.

After a brief pause, he evaded the patrolling soldiers and rushed to his mansion. After a while, he arrived in front of the palace and found that the plaque on the palace had not been removed and the logo on the lantern had not been changed.

The palace is located not far to the west of the palace. From here, you can see many sedans, carriages and horses parked in the square outside the palace. At this time, it was only five o'clock, and all the civil and military officials had already entered the palace. This shows that today's morning call was

It is Daqi. The so-called Daqi means that the time to go to court is earlier than usual. Usually, the court will only call Daqi when discussing military and state affairs.

He didn't go through the gate, but climbed over the wall into the courtyard and went to his room. The palace's stables were not far from his room. Apart from the palace's own horses, there were no black masters or sweaty horses inside. From this, it can be seen that Datou and others

Not in Chang'an.

When I returned to my room, everything was as before, without any changes. There was a set of bedding on the wooden couch in the inner room. It was the same set I had brought with me before. There was also a quilt placed on my waist in a conspicuous position at the head of the bed.

bag.

He thought he was going to die that day, so he asked Huang Silang to transfer his waist bag to Yang Kai and others. Now that the waist bag appears here, it means that Datou and others have returned.

He took the waist pouch and found that there was only a Dharma seal and a hairpin inside. The hairpin was the aura token given to him by Zhang Mo previously, and the Dharma seal was the Taoist seal given to him by himself.

In addition to the hairpin and Dharma seal, there were originally Ni Lin and other things in the waist pouch, but now only the hairpin and Dharma seal are left here, indicating that these two things were left here intentionally by Zhang Mo. The reason why Zhang Mo left the hairpin

Next, so that if one day he returns to the palace, he can notify her as soon as possible. As for leaving the seal, it is also to confirm whether he is alive, because he is a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. As long as he uses the seal, Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo will

There is a way to make sure he is still alive.

The reason why Zhang Mo did this was not because he knew he was still alive, but because he was lucky and hoped for a miracle.

Although he was reluctant to destroy the hairpin, he still broke it in the middle. He didn't like to show off, nor did he like to make false claims. Zhang Mo must be in an extremely bad mood at this time, and he must tell Zhang Mo that he was back as soon as possible.

There was more than one set of court uniforms, and he only took one set with him when he left. After breaking off his hairpin, he immediately put on the official uniform. He then took out the talisman, drew an invisibility talisman, concealed his figure, and hurried to the palace.

I have been to the Royal Palace many times, but in order to rush to the main hall where the Emperor was present as soon as possible, I did not go through the main entrance, but directly climbed over the west city wall, passed through the outer city, and entered the inner city of the Royal Palace.

The guards in the imperial city were extremely tight, and there was a rare situation where the Yulin Army and the Shence Army took turns at the same time. Seeing this, I immediately guessed that something had happened to the court. The Yulin Army and the Shence Army took turns at the same time not to strengthen defense.

, but to blackmail each other.

After a while, I came to the courtyard on the west side of the main hall, climbed the wall to observe, and found that the square outside the main hall was filled with military generals wearing armor. These generals were divided into two camps. The more than 20 people on the east side were led by Liu Tianlin, the commander of the imperial guards.

The generals of the Yulin Army, and those on the west side are mostly the generals of the Shence Army, including military commanders of the feudal lords.

The Shence Army and the Yulin Army both belong to the Forbidden Army, but when Yang Fugong took control of the government, the Shence Army obeyed his orders. After Yang Fugong was brought to justice, the emperor exchanged the fifth-rank and above generals of the Shence Army with the generals of the garrison. Now those who have been transferred

The general of the Shence Army appeared in the square outside the palace again, which shows that the Shence Army has been controlled by traitors.

At this time, the door of the main hall was open, and the generals in the square were staring at the main hall, while the civil and military ministers in the main hall were arguing loudly and debating fiercely.

Since everyone's eyes were focused on the main hall, they did not dare to act rashly, because there were many masters of purple energy in the square. The invisibility charm could only hide one's figure, but could not hide the sound of the wind and footsteps.

His eyes and ears were clear, and he could clearly hear the quarrels among the officials in the palace. What he didn't expect was that the officials who were usually respectful to the emperor were loudly reprimanding the emperor. At this time, everyone was talking about the emperor's emphasis on military power and neglect of civility and condoning national traitors.

He assassinated Qian Zhonglin, a loyal minister of Qing Dynasty.

Qian Zhonglin was the provincial minister who was killed by Yu Yi. Some people criticized the emperor, and naturally some people responded to protect the emperor. Shi Linyun, the official minister, retorted loudly, saying that he was loyal to the country and was not a national thief, and Qian Zhonglin

There is no evidence to prove that he was the one responsible for the assassination.

Although he doesn't like the court, he used to be in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai, and he can still hear the voices of important officials in the court. Yang Shuyun, the Minister of Dali Temple, and Wu Yusheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are all die-hard royalists, but for some reason

, there were far more officials who complained about the emperor's faults than those who defended him, and their words were extremely fierce. They only said that the emperor favored traitors, suppressed virtuous ministers, acted perversely, abused criminal laws, and had no moral integrity, making it difficult to control the country.

Hearing everyone's words, I felt very confused. These ministers were crazy. They dared to deceive and slander the emperor like this. You must know that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime among the nine tribes.

In addition, although this group of elite civil servants ruined the country with empty talk and were pedantic and infighting, they still valued respect and ethics. Although Li Maozhen was suppressing the country with a large army, he was only a county prince and not of royal blood. Even if he really had disobedient intentions and planned to usurp the throne

It is also not in line with the rules of etiquette and law. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct, which will definitely stain the painting and be infamy for thousands of years. These civil servants should understand this simple truth. Even if their loyalty is gone, why don't they even lose their face?

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked from the west courtyard carrying a tray. Seeing that the tray contained the emperor's cups, he knew that the little eunuch was going to the main hall. Knowing that the opportunity was not to be missed, he hurriedly followed him.

The little eunuch followed suit every step of the way.

Because the footsteps overlapped, no one in the square noticed that he had sneaked into the hall.

After entering the main hall, the first thing I saw was the noisy civil and military ministers with red faces, and then the livid-faced emperor. Then I noticed that there were two men sitting on the left and right, and the one on the right was very young.

, is wearing the prince's five-python vermilion court dress, while the person on the left, about forty years old, is wearing the county prince's large purple single-python court dress.

> Seeing these two people, he finally understood why the officials who disobeyed the emperor were so confident, because he recognized this young prince as none other than the Prince of Ji, Li Bao, whom he had beaten up that day, and the middle-aged man was undoubtedly the Prince of Longxi County, Li Maozhen

, this person had a very close personal relationship with King Ji, and it was known to both the government and the public.

By this time, things had become clear. Li Bao, with the support of Li Maozhen, sent troops to besiege the capital, instigated rebellion against the ministers, and forced the palace to usurp the throne.

Entering the main hall, he had no worries, because no one in the hall had spiritual energy cultivation, and even if they did, their cultivation level was not high. However, he was not in a hurry to take action, but walked behind Li Bao and watched the changes. At the moment, Li Bao had not understood

Because of the rebellion, some of the troops who killed him at this time came out of nowhere.

What the young eunuch brought was not tea, but medicine. So many ministers disobeyed and slandered him in public. The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The civil servants were not good at fighting and fighting internal conflicts, and they were very good at talking, changing things over and confusing right and wrong. They were so excited that they salivated and attacked the emperor in all directions. The emperor asked him to rectify the government, which was said by the civil servants.

In order to appoint cruel officials and persecute loyal ministers. The emperor doted on Concubine Li for a while, but the civil servants described this as arrogance, extravagance and indulgence in wine and sex.

During the period when the emperor was transferred to the Japanese pirates, the fake emperor did a lot of ridiculous things. In order to protect the emperor's face, the matter was not disclosed to the public. In fact, this matter could not be covered up. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that the emperor was transferred to the Japanese pirates. But since the emperor

Without making an announcement to the outside world, they pretended to be confused and blamed all the false emperor's actions on the emperor, saying that they imposed exorbitant taxes and expropriated money without caring about the people's livelihood.

And when the emperor formed a new army and conquered the feudal towns, they also said that he was being militaristic and fighting against the same clan.

Where there are treacherous ministers, there will naturally be loyal ministers. Faced with the unwarranted slander, everyone led by the Liubu Hall officials spoke out to refute it, but their number was small, and the other party was speaking out of conscience. They knew better than the emperor himself how wronged he was.

, in the face of reasonable refutations from Wu Yusheng and others, they will always avoid the important points and ignore the light ones, and make nonsense.

Before arriving, the forced labor had already begun. Seeing that the fuss was almost over, Li Maozhen said in a dark voice, "Your Majesty, what do you have to say?"

The emperor's face was livid with anger and he was panting rapidly. Hearing Li Maozhen's words, he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this situation, Li Bao thought that he was bound to win, and said proudly, "Old Qi, you have seen the situation. The situation is over. It is useless to talk more. Please abdicate."

What Li Bao was waiting for was these words. As soon as such rebellious words were spoken, the evidence of the crime was already conclusive.
