Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

At night, the palace.

In the quiet night, the Yulin Army was stationed on the city wall as usual. Suddenly, there was a vibration in the ground, and a group of cavalry rushed towards the city gate.

The momentum is so huge that it is still frightening even if it is several miles away.

Call!

The cavalry came closer, and the leader jerked the reins and looked up.

"Open the city gate quickly and let me in!"

The defenders on the city wall obviously recognized Li Ying's identity and wiped their cold sweat and said loudly.

"The entrance to His Royal Highness's palace has been closed. No one is allowed to enter the palace without His Majesty's will. You'd better come back tomorrow."

Li Ying's face darkened: "How presumptuous, the lonely prince has entered the palace to garrison on the orders of his father. Open your dog eyes and see what this is!" He then showed the forged summons.

Seeing that the prince had the emperor's edict in his hand, the gatekeeper general hesitated for a moment, then personally came down from the city wall, opened the city gate and prepared to check the authenticity.

There was no other way. The prince led an army to enter the palace late at night, which was not a good thing at first glance. He could not bear the responsibility in case of a coup.

Arriving in front of Li Ying, the garrison general hugged his fists with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the army has never entered the palace late at night. Can you show your Majesty's edict to the general?"

"Okay, take it and read it yourself." Li Ying sneered and handed over the edict, while quietly touching the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." The defender general breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take the edict when his face changed and Li Ying said angrily.

"You bastard, how dare you attack Gu!"

Ah!

After killing the defending general with one sword, Li Ying raised her sword high and said to his subordinates.

"Brothers, the eternal hegemony is at this moment, rush into the palace and capture the faint king alive!"

"kill!"

Nearly ten thousand troops raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and the next moment they poured like a flood into the palace gate that had not yet been closed.

Soon the deafening sound of fighting was heard in the palace.

Since there were only 5,000 Yulin guards stationed at the palace, far inferior in number to Li Ying's army, they retreated to the vicinity of the Wanxiang Shrine not long after the fight.

"Your Majesty, the Yulin Guards are already less than two thousand. It won't be long before we can catch that foolish king Li Longji!" Right Minister Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Hearing these words, Li Ying showed a look of pride on his face. For a long time, he had not been taken seriously because of his mother, and was bullied like a dog by Concubine Wu Hui.

Now that he is fine, he can finally use his own strength to teach Li Longji a lesson.

"Zhao Aiqing, since Li Longji has been living in the palace for a long time, it is inevitable that there are some hidden dead men. You will bring two thousand soldiers and horses to search them one by one, and eradicate all those who are related to them!"

"I want to show these people in the palace who look down on me who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying this, he whipped his horse whip and led the army to kill the Wanxiang Shrine.

He mercilessly killed all the chamberlains who dared to stop him along the way.

Seeing this scene, Liuzi said with confusion on a tall building in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Li Ying has occupied 70% of the palace. According to this trend, it won't be long before he invades the Wanxiang Palace and captures Li Longji alive."

"Why haven't we seen bad people come out to protect the emperor?"

Hearing this, Fan Xin looked towards the Vientiane Palace in the night with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Don't be anxious. If my prediction is correct, the bad guys will come out soon."

This time, the reason why Fan Xin used Li Ying as a chess piece was to see how powerful the bad guy hiding in the dark was.

Only by forcing the opponent into the open can he have a chance to eliminate him.

Soon a cheer came from Nuo Da's palace.

Then Li Ying, carrying a sword, walked up the steps surrounded by soldiers and opened the door of the palace.

Surprisingly, Li Longji didn't look panicked at all, and slowly raised his head to look at his son.

"I thought it would be Fan Xin or even Princess Taiping who led the troops into the palace, but I never thought it would be you, a traitor like you!"

"Why, are you so anxious to become emperor?"

Faced with Li Longji's questioning, Li Ying laughed three times disapprovingly.

Finally, he said with a twisted expression of hatred.

"Li Longji, don't stay here with me alone. If you hadn't been so cold and ruthless, how could my mother and concubine have died of illness on the bed!"

"If it weren't for you, how could a lonely prince live worse than a dog?"

"Aren't you going to pass on the position of Crown Prince to Li Heng? Come on, let's see how you pass it on!"

Looking at his resentful son, Li Longji looked up to the sky and sighed melancholy.

"I didn't expect you to hate me so much. If I had known you were like this, I should have killed you in the first place! Save yourself the trouble of raising a tiger!"

Hearing these words, Li Ying snorted disdainfully.

"It's too late for you to say anything now. My people are everywhere in the palace. If I want to kill you, I will kill you."

After saying this, Li Ju and Li Yao rushed into the hall with a team of Jinwu guards, pointed their weapons at Li Longji, and prepared to cut him into pieces at the command.

Li Longji raised his glass and took a sip, looking at Li Ying with a trace of pity.

"Li Ying, do you think you can kill me?"

Sensing the tone of Li Longji's words, Li Ying felt uneasy for no reason, and spoke while holding back her fear.

"Hmph, stop pretending here, come here, kill Hunjun for me!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted loudly and were about to raise their weapons and charge towards Li Longji.

A group of masked men holding sharp knives suddenly rushed out from behind the curtains on both sides of the hall.

As soon as these people met each other, without saying a word, they quickly inserted the knife into the soldier's chest, and wiped out all the rebels in the palace in the blink of an eye.

By the time Li Ying and the others reacted, several cold blades were already on their necks.

What frightened Li Ying even more was what the masked man said next.

"Your Majesty, the rebels who broke into the palace are being eliminated and normalcy will be restored within an hour."

"Okay, you did a good job!" Nodding to the masked man, Li Longji got up and walked to Li Ying.

"Your Majesty, I said you can't kill me just by yourself. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Li Ying's legs were shaking non-stop. He had grown up in a deep palace. He had never seen such a scene before, and his courage had long been frightened.

"Father...Father, please spare my life. I was just temporarily deceived by a villain and made a big mistake. Please don't kill me!"

After saying that, he knelt on the ground with a bang, holding Li Longji's thigh and wailing.

Li Longji was startled, the smile on his face froze, and he narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"Oh? Who can confuse a prince like you?"

"This..." Li Ying looked embarrassed.

"Ok?"

Noticing that her father's brows were frowning, Li Ying quickly put her head on the ground.

"Go back to my father, my son said! It was King Fan Xin of Yan who seduced my son to rebel."

"If you don't believe it, go and look at the corpses of those soldiers outside. They are all cavalry he borrowed from the Khitan!"
