Wu Sansi and others had made up their plans. When they were full of confidence, they suddenly heard that the government troops had entered the inner palace and were approaching. They were immediately shocked and blurted out without thinking, "How did they come in?"

"It's from Deyou's Sect"

Hearing this, Wu Sansi immediately looked at Yuan Wenbo, who stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling guilty and regretful, "I was negligent, I was really negligent."

Luoyang Palace City covers a wide area, and there are ten portals in the outer palace city alone. Deyou Gate is the most inconspicuous one. (Baidu search c

e.c

m,) The door is Hanjia Cang City, which is the palace city. Simply put, it is a large warehouse. If it weren't for the rare famine, no one would have noticed this corner of the palace city. Those who have always guarded here are the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the inner palace who are the least insignificant in the inner palace.

This is a place that has been neglected for many years and has become accustomed to being neglected. As the gateway to the outside world, Deyou Gate is locked all year round and there is basically no time to open the door. Over time, since no one has passed here, the guards have been saved. They have always been inspected by the Longguang Gate nearest. Unless the war breaks out and Luoyang is besieged, this situation may not be changed.

But who would have thought that the government army would enter the palace from now on? In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not a big mistake for Yuan Wenbo. The Luoyang Palace City is too big, but his subordinates are too few. How could it be possible to block the huge palace city with limited personnel?

At this time, Wu Sansi's subordinates suddenly spoke up: "There is a traitor in the palace."

Wu Sansi stared at the official fiercely. Isn’t this nonsense? Without internal support, can the Deyou Sect, which has not been opened for many years, be able to open it by itself? But now he no longer cares about scolding this mediocre official, and he has only one idea in mind - to fight or not to fight?

"How many people are coming from the government army?"

"The Song lieutenant has just climbed up to see the enemy's situation, and there are no less than 5,000 people entering the palace."

Hearing this number, Yuan Wenbo's face changed again. Although his subordinates were less than 2,000, and the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards was far superior to that of the government troops, his two thousand people had to guard the important links of the inner palace. At most, more than 500 people could be drawn out to participate in the war. How could he fight this battle?

It’s just that the time these government troops came was so deadly. The timing was too good. If he got the military talisman later, he only needed to transfer two thousand imperial guards to him. What’s the fear of these five thousand government troops?

Yuan Wenbo briefly explained the current situation. Waiting for Wu Sansi to make a decision.

Suddenly he fell from the sky and fell into a deep pool with human-eating beasts hidden. This is how Wu Sansi felt at this moment, but for him, there was no choice between fighting or not fighting.

"Why don't you fight?" Wu Sansi said hatefully: "The terrain of the inner palace is complicated. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can immediately draw people from one palace and one palace to resist the enemy. After the matter is arranged, you will immediately go to the Jian'an Palace to collect military talismans and dispatch troops to support."

Yuan Wenbo is worthy of being an imperial guard. Although the gap between the enemy and us is so great, he is not afraid of difficulties. After receiving the order, he immediately turned around and left. Wu Sansi watched him leave. He deliberately and warmly comforted his subordinates. However, no matter how he spoke, many of the subordinates had an unconcealed panic on their faces. This was a world of difference from the excitement of the public just now, and he thought that the world was at hand.

Witnessing this situation, a trace of ominous premonition quietly came to Wu Sansi's heart, but he forced his face to disperse all his followers. They all acted as planned. For a moment, everyone scattered their birds and beasts. Only Zong Chuke never left.

Before Wu Sansi asked, Zong Chuke had already come over, "If God bless my king tonight, the Wu clan clan has no other choice except to support the prince. It would be okay to contact the clan clan one step later. Instead, this inner palace is more important."

Wu Sansi, who was restless, also needed someone to be by his side at this time, so he did not urge him to leave after hearing this, and the two of them listened silently to the movement outside.

They didn't ask them to wait for a long time, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside. When they heard the sound was still far away from here, Wu Sansi felt a little calmer.

The situation after that was as expected, the inner palace was complex in terrain. Although the palace army was large, it was difficult to deploy and the superior forces were difficult to exert. Moreover, the imperial guards were really sharp, so the shouts of killing were stalemate in the first place.

After listening silently for a long time, Wu Sansi was relieved and turned around and laughed at Zong Chuke and said, "With this entry, if the government army wants to rush to the emperor's bedroom, it will be dawn. By then, Wenbo has already led his troops to help."

At this point, Wu Sansi smiled arrogantly, "Besides, he has a wonderful plan to stop the enemy. He just thinks that the towering palace city is not easy to build, and the people of the palace are not willing to live."

Zong Chuke was clearly thinking about him, but his face was pretending to be confused, "Will King Liang come out?"

Wu Sansi laughed three times at the sky, showing his mighty posture, and then he popped up a word in a tone that was like a biting gold and breaking iron. "Fire"

Zong Chuke suddenly realized and strode his palm and praised: "As long as the emperor's bedroom is kept safe, the fire outside will be in trouble, and those rebellious soldiers will definitely be unable to move forward! King Liang is good at making plans and King Liang is kind."

Wu Sansi laughed again, but he didn't expect that his laughter had not stopped, but the shouts of killing outside suddenly became smaller, and he disappeared quietly after just a moment.

This sudden change made Wu Sansi's heart suddenly "shock" and the long laughter stopped abruptly. After coughing several times, he waved his hand and said, "Shu Ao, go and see why the war stopped suddenly?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zong Chuke went there. Wu Sansi could no longer stay there. He followed Zong Chuke to the place where the sound of killing was still loud. However, before he could approach, he hesitated and refused to go forward again, and finally stopped there.

Not long after, Zong Chuke returned quickly, looking very frightened. Wu Sansi came out of the shadow and called him to stop him only to realize that Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong were added to the five thousand palace troops fighting the King's army.

Then, Shangguan Wan'er shouted to the guards who were fighting to the death with his territorial power, saying that King Liang had killed the king and plotted against him. He didn't know what method they used to let Zhang Changzong admit that he was ordered to kill the emperor in front of the formation.

As soon as Zhang Changzong's self-confession came out, the imperial guards were in an uproar, and the morale of the army was difficult to stabilize. Now let alone resist, I am afraid that it is very likely that the general will come back later.

After hearing this, Wu Sansi's face turned gray, and it was difficult to stand even if he stood up. The current Ten Thousand Cavalry Imperial Guards are elite troops selected from thousands of selected ones from the northeastern frontier before Wu Zetian ascended the throne. This elite cavalry was formed by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian gave them unprecedented glory and trust, as well as favorable treatment in materials, money and food. Therefore, the loyalty of this army to Wu Zetian is beyond doubt.

Tonight, even Wu Sansi didn't expect that he would have the idea and actions to kill Wu Zetian, so the guards naturally didn't know about it. They just followed the orders of their superior Yuan Wenbo to block the inner palace, and they were involuntarily joining the plot. This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Sansi did not dare to let the guards outside come in together when he broke into Wu Zetian's bedroom.

In short, Wu Sansi, from the moment he decided to kill Wu Zetian, everything he did was hidden from the Imperial Guard.

Now that this layer has been provoked, I am afraid that the first person to kill him will be the Wanqi Imperial Guard.

As things have developed, Wu Sansi, who is confused and helpless, regrets why he has not set fire just now. He is already completely disappointed and can't stand firmly.

Just as he was about to silence the earth, Zong Chuke snatched him a step forward and helped him, "Don't worry, King Liang, the situation is here. Although the destiny of heaven is no longer available, his life can be protected without any worries."

A fire suddenly burst out from Wu Sansi's eyes. Before he could stand firm, he had already grasped Zong Chuke's arms tightly with both hands, "Is there a turning point? Is it a plan? Is it a sir?"

Zong Chuke took out something from his sleeve and showed it to Wu Sansi. After whispering a few more words in his ear, Wu Sansi came back alive and "Go quickly. Go quickly." As they spoke, they walked away quickly towards the way they came.

After a while, the two arrived at the side hall where the King of Luling Li Xian was imprisoned. Wu Sansi suddenly pushed the door in a hurry, and only let Li Xian, who looked more pale under the dim candlelight in the hall, shivering so much that he hurriedly, and immediately hid behind a beautiful woman about 40 years old.

At this time, the guard guards at the door came to speak. When he was ordered to invite Prince Li Xian of Luling, Princess Luling insisted on accompanying him. Li Xian also cried and said that the princess would not get on the car if she did not accompany him. In desperation, she welcomed the two of them together.

Wu Sansi was still worried about these things at this time. He nodded and ordered the guard to go out, and then turned around and closed the door of the side hall.

After closing the door, Wu Sansi turned around. Although Li Xian could barely sit steadily, his body trembling could not be covered. On the contrary, the Princess of Luling, next to her, sat upright without expression, at least there was no sign of panic on her face.

The leaking liquid was summoned, and as soon as he entered the palace, he was locked up in such a dim side hall. There was an imperial guard outside, and he was suddenly pushed into the door by himself. Anyone who had such an experience was afraid that he would be panicked, but this woman could not speak out.

Even though Wu Sansi is now like a stray dog ​​entering the poor alley, he is still unable to help but be defeated by Princess Luling's calmness and courage, and said in his heart: "This woman is not simple!"

After quietly looking at the two of them for a while, Wu Sansi suddenly bowed to the ground and meticulously started a great gift that he would only use when he worshiped the emperor.

This time, Li Xian, the King of Luling, was completely stupid. The Princess of Luling pulled him to the side to show that he did not dare to overthrow the gift. "Does the in-laws want to play with me and my wife?"

The voice of Princess Luling is crisp and pleasant that is not very matched by her age.

It was not until this time that Wu Sansi remembered that he and King Luling were still relatives. Wu Zetian had personally ordered that the youngest daughter of King Luling Princess Anle to his eldest son Wu Chongxun.

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Sansi's mind became more and more calm. After respectfully performing the three kowtows and nine bows, he said in a deep voice: "Last night, the saint appointed Wu Yanji, the son of the former Liang King Wu Chengsi, as the emperor. This matter is for the King of Jian'an Wu Youyi, the chief political affairs assistant Di Renjie and the ministers can both witness it."

Li Xian looked confused, obviously not understanding what Wu Sansi said had to do with his great gift. A bright light flashed in Princess Luling's eyes, "Oh?"

Wu Sansi continued with a straight body and said, "Later, Zhang Changzong, the attendant of the inner palace, was crazy and suddenly acted rebellious. After failing to poison, he suddenly killed the Holy Emperor with an incense burner on the imperial bed of the bedroom."

"ah?"

"ah!"

As soon as Wu Sansi said this, it was like a sound of Nine Heavens thunder roaring in the dim side hall. Li Xian was shaking, and Princess Luling could no longer control herself. Her pair of watery eyes suddenly opened to the extreme. "Your in-laws' words... take this seriously! Your Majesty... has passed away!"

Wu Sansi didn't have much time to digest the shocking news for them and continued: "I know very well about my nephew Wu Yanji, and this son is not a good talent for the emperor. I heard the bad news of the death of the Holy Emperor, and immediately rushed to the emperor's bedroom and found this edict in the bedroom."

While speaking, Wu Sansi took out a Minghuang edict from his left sleeve and held it up with both hands.

Before Li Xian could come back from the shocking news just now, Princess Luling reached out to take the edict. After a brief look, her qi and blood rushed forward, and the cheeks on her face were white and had a layer of pink. People said that the beauty should be under the moon, under the lights, under the flowers, and under the dim lights of the hall. Princess Luling, whose pink face was really beautiful.

The content of the edict was very simple. After praising Li Xian, the King of Luling, he stated that he was the candidate for the successor and would take over the world in the future.

From the materials used to the seal of the emperor stamped on this edict, it is genuine. It really can't be true anymore!

After reading the edict that she had been dreaming of for more than ten years, her mood slowly calmed down. At this time, she naturally thought of the mystery behind the edict.

Wu Sansi just said before that Wu Zetian had established Wu Yanji as the lord, and Di Renjie and King Jian'an were witnesses in this matter. In a blink of an eye, he took out the edict of Li Xian as the lord, and Wu Zetian had already passed away at this time. This means that Li Xian could immediately call the emperor the lord.

It’s so contradictory, how can you say the tricks inside? All of this falls on Wu Sansi in front of you.

At this moment, Wu Sansi bowed down again and said loudly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. The holy emperor died suddenly. When this is extraordinary, it is advisable to do extraordinary things. My minister Wu Sansi respectfully asks our emperor to obey the will of the late emperor. Follow the heavens and respond to the people. Ascend the throne and ascend to the throne."

Wu Sansi's voice echoed in the dim side hall. Li Xian's face was excited, but Princess Luling threw the edict back to the ground in front of Wu Sansi, "What's the virtue of my prince? I think it's better to sit in these nine five thrones."

Wu Sansi, who was still bowing to the ground, buried his head deeply to show that he did not dare to hear this. "There are guards and soldiers in the inner palace who believe the rumors. I think that Zhang Changzong's killing of the monarch was due to the instructor of his ministers, and his full duty was still unavailable. How dare he covet the throne? I only ask my emperor to understand thousands of miles and know that his true and loyalty is true. If the life of the minister is at the hands of the chaotic army, then he will always remember the kindness of heaven and will never forget it forever."

As soon as this said, Li Xian pointed his finger at Wu Sansi and said in horror: "Is the Queen Mother lost to you?"

Wu Sansi's head, which had just raised, buried deeper again, "I dare not!"

Princess Luling glanced at Li Xian and forced him back to his later words before she said lightly: "Although the prince swears that this edict is from the saint's order, where is it based on Wuyan? The government affairs of Duke Di, and the imperial guards, Prince Wu, all knew that other people were the candidates for the successor."

"Wu Yanji is so virtuous and capable, how dare you be the king and father?" Wu Sansi stood up, gritted his teeth and shouted outside the hall: "Take Wu Yanji"

After only a moment, the wealthy and handsome Wu Yanji was escorted in by two imperial guards. Wu Sansi pulled out a standard waist knife from the imperial guards and ordered them to close the palace gate and leave.

Wu Yanji was completely unaware of Wu Sansi's actions behind him. At this time, he was gentle and gentle to the Luling King Li Xian and his wife, saying "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law"

It was also at this time that Wu Sansi remembered that it was not only his son Wu Chongxun who had been engaged to Li Xian's daughter Princess Anle. The daughter-in-law who had not yet passed by the nephew Wu Yanji in front of him was Li Xian's other older daughter Princess Yongtai.

However, his daughter-in-law, Princess Anle, who has not passed the family, is the biological daughter-in-law of Luling in front of him, while Princess Yongtai is not.

Because the candle wick was not cut for a long time, the candle fire in the side hall became darker and swayed quietly. Such candle fire made Wu Sansi's slightly distorted face look even more ferocious. Just as Wu Yanji bowed and was about to stand up, a cold light penetrated his chest and abdomen from behind. Because of the force that was too strong, the blood-flowing blade penetrated Wu Yanji's entire young and thin body.

Wu Yanji turned around in shock, his innocent eyes full of endless confusion and pain, "Uncle Wang...you..."

At this moment, even Wu Sansi could not look directly at his nephew's eyes, and he turned his head and tried hard to return the knife. When the long blade was completely pulled out, the blood in Wu Yanji's body shot out under pressure and splashed on Wu Sansi's body. The blood was stained with blood under his feet, which was unbearable to witness it.

The question was finally not finished, and Wu Yanji disappeared quietly in the gloomy and dark side hall of the palace like a branch, with a full of innocence and doubt.

Stimulated by this bloody scene, Li Xian's terror attack broke out again with her face, and her whole body shook like a sieve. However, Princess Luling looked at the assassination in the side hall without blinking. Perhaps she had known that there would be this assassination, and she was just waiting for this assassination, so she could be so calm at this moment.

With a "dang", Wu Sansi put away the blood-stained sword in his hand. He bowed to the ground again and fell beside his nephew's body in the pool of blood. "Just now Wu Yanji has died at the hands of the chaos. King Wu Youyi of Jian'an and his subordinates are relatives. His affairs will be handled by his ministers, and he will guarantee that there will be no rumor that is not conducive to the new dynasty. Even after Your Majesty ascended the throne, the Wu clan and the Wu party of the court and the Wu party can be comforted. As for the political affairs of Di Gong, isn't your Majesty's long-cherished wish for many years?"

Since Wu Zetian took office as the queen during the previous dynasty, he has been constantly cultivating the Wu clan relatives as help. After years of accumulation, the Wu clan's strength in the court and the opposition cannot be underestimated, and the Wu clan party in the court is a huge political force that no one can ignore. Tonight, Wu Zetian and Wu Yanji died so bizarrely that if there is no effective candidate to appease him, the Wu clan relatives and the Wu clan party in the court will have to make a big fuss even if they are just for self-safety.

And if we talk about appeaseing these two groups of people, can there be more appropriate comparisons with Wu Sansi after Wu Chengsi's death?

These thoughts flashed through Princess Luling's mind, and finally she pulled Li Xian to Wu Sansi and helped him up intimately, "We were a family, and there were many places to borrow money in the future. Why should the in-laws be so polite?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Sansi's long-suffered breath finally spit out a long time. Princess Luling looked down at the paper edict on her feet, then looked at Wu Yanji's blood, and a smile appeared silently on her lips.

The bright yellow and bloody color reflected in the edict, Princess Luling's laughter in the dim light was thrilling, and the whole country was fascinating!
