Tang's dining table

Li Yifu thought for a moment and then said to Li Zhi: "Wei Chen thinks that thunderous means must be used."

At this time, Xu Jingzong raised his hands to the emperor and said, "I second my proposal."

Li Zhi looked at Li Yifu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing."

Li Yifu raised his injured right arm and said: "Wei Chen escaped from death now, and there is no room for maneuver with those evil thieves. Therefore, this is a life-and-death fight, unlike Xu Xiangzai's siege by countless assassins." I'm still unscathed."

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Jingzong and said: "Yun Chu killed one hundred and sixteen assassins and captured three assassins alive. I am not surprised that he has such ability. But I wonder if Aiqing will give me a reasonable answer?" explanation of?"

Xu Jingzong sighed, took off his hat and placed it respectfully in front of the emperor. He knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "I'm so faint that I can no longer bear your majesty's demands. Please consider that I have made little effort over the years." For my sake, I am allowed to beg for the bones."

After that, he said to Li Yifu: "Mr. Li County, I will resign now. For the sake of my colleagues, please don't torture me too much..."

The location Yunchu chose to stand outside the palace was very good. In addition to having a good location, the most important thing was a wind outlet.

At this time, the sun had begun to shift to the west. In a moment, the cornices of Hanyuan Hall would be able to block him from the harsh sunlight.

The action of the three of them this time was not so much for the people who died unjustly as it was to prepare for their upcoming action in Chang'an.

If the emperor starts to settle with those people, they will have very few means at their disposal in Chang'an.

Only when the emperor launches a campaign in Luoyang and leaves them with no place to stay in Luoyang, will Chang'an become more important to those wealthy families, and people like Yun Chu can truly reap a wave of wealth and accumulate a wave of wealth in Luoyang. By the way, a new wave of wealth is created again.

All the time has been calculated, and Yunchu's launch at the governor's office marked the beginning of the overall operation.

Di Renjie sent people to use a large amount of gunpowder at the tomb of Emperor Xiaowen in Mangshan to eliminate the murderer who had harmed the lives of the people in Luoyang. This was just the beginning of this matter.

Next, the assassination of Cui, Lu, Liu and other wealthy families in Luoyang City was the middle part of this matter.

The terrain of Hanyuan Hall is very high. Whenever there is an explosion in Luoyang City, you can definitely see clearly from here.

The distant wind brought seven or eight dull explosions.

In a short time, black smoke billowed out from the city outside Luoyang City.

Di Renjie used a larger amount of gunpowder, so the explosion was loud. Not only Yun Chu heard and saw it, but also the emperor and his ministers who hurriedly left the Hanyuan Hall.

When the emperor came out, he did not immediately look for the explosion point. Instead, he glanced at Yunchu, who was standing motionless outside Hanyuan Hall.

Then, he started to patrol around the explosion point.

Eight strands of black smoke soared upward...

Yun Chu remained motionless, but turned his body to face Li Zhi.

After seeing the explosion point, Li Zhi turned back to General Su Dingfang of the Youwu Guard and said, "Go."

Su Dingfang took the order and walked down the steps. When he passed by Yun Chu, he stopped and said, "It's as you wished, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Things are developing in my favor."

Su Dingfang said: "I hope these people can escape this disaster."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If there is an explosion in the capital, there will be no escape."

Su Dingfang said: "Does it have nothing to do with you?"

Yun Chu said: “My strength is not enough to launch an attack of this scale, especially in Luoyang.

I am also very interested in these people, and hope that Mr. Su will allow me to see them when he catches them. "

Su Dingfang nodded and left.

Su Dingfang left, and a flower bear staggered out of Hanyuan Hall. There was no doubt that the explosion that had just occurred scared the giant bear. At this moment, he just wanted to find Li Zhi as soon as possible and accept his offer. Protect.

Looking at the giant bear running over, Li Zhi's eyes showed a rare trace of tenderness. The giant bear howled and hugged his legs. Li Zhi reached out and stroked the giant bear's head and whispered: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... "

When Li Zhi took his eyes away from the giant bear and looked at the people present, his expression was calm, neither happy nor sad.

Some Zhenguan veterans had an illusion when they saw the emperor's appearance.

I felt that the ghost of Emperor Taizong was possessing the emperor.

Orders were issued from the emperor's mouth one after another, and the ministers hurriedly left after accepting the orders.

Although his voice when issuing orders was very low, everyone understood that Luoyang City was about to face a bloody purge.

After the emperor issued the order, Li Zhi brought the giant bear to Yun Chu, looked Yun Chu in the eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Yun Chu said calmly: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to return the capital to Chang'an."

Li Zhi said: "Do you think these things won't happen when I return to Chang'an?"

Yun Chu said: "They don't dare!"

Li Zhi said: "Chang'an and Luoyang are both my lands. Is there anything different between them?"

Yun Chu said: "Guanzhong's soldiers are elite, while Luozhou's soldiers are rotten. In Chang'an, His Majesty can sweep everything with his peerless magic weapon. In Luozhou, His Majesty's long sword is not good enough and is not enough to intimidate."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "You think too highly of Chang'an. I can do the same in Luozhou if it's not about the reform of the army."

The proud Li Zhi did not think it was a good idea for Yunchu to ask him to return to Chang'an, and his pride did not allow him to change his order day and night.

"Go back. I already know your good intentions. No one dares to do anything against me. You don't have to show off here."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I always feel that what is happening now is just the beginning, not the end."

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu with amusement and said: "Li Ji said that no one is your opponent in the army assault. Tell me, if you did these things, what will you do next? "

Yun Chu said without hesitation: "The raid on the governor's office made your majesty's previous plan to settle the matter a failure.

An explosion was made in Mang Mountain, attracting everyone's attention outside the city, and then a series of explosions were made in the city, allowing His Majesty to disperse the power of the imperial city.

If Wei Chen is the leader of the rebels, the next thing to do is to attack the palace city. "

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said, "Miyagi? Here?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Although I don't know what the enemy will do, Wei Chen feels that it is imperative to raid the palace city.

This is why Wei Chen volunteered to guard His Majesty in armor. "

Yunchu's words were actually not meant for the emperor to hear, but for the guy behind the emperor who was as strong as a mountain.

Although the guy's face was covered with a mask, Yun Chu still felt the beast-like aggressive aura emanating from him.

"You mean, someone will launch a surprise attack on me in the palace?"

Yun Chu leaned over and saluted: "If Your Majesty still believes in Wei Chen, please allow Wei Chen to stay within a hundred steps of Your Majesty."

"Why within a hundred steps and not at my left and right?"

Yun Chu looked at the guard general behind Li Zhi and said, "When it comes to adapting to the situation, no one in the Tang army can surpass Wei Chen."

Li Zhi turned around and looked at the soldier who was as strong as a mountain and said, "Menghu, people look down on you."

The strong man slowly turned his head to look at Yun Chu, and said angrily: "Just give him a beating."

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Meng Hu's answer and said to Yun Chu: "No one can hurt me in my palace."

Yun Chu bowed and said: "In this case, please allow me to serve as the bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean if something goes wrong with me, the prince will still be there? Yunchu, you are so brave."

Yun Chu said: "Wei Chen is not only your Majesty's minister, but also my Tang Dynasty minister."

Li Zhi pointed in the direction of the palace gate and said: "Get out, get out as soon as possible while I can suppress my anger at this time, don't wait for my anger to rise, and do something that you and I will regret."

Yunchu naturally followed what was good, turned around and left after giving the gift. This level of admonishment was the best he could do, and desperately admonishing was inconsistent with his philosophy.

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu's back and asked Meng Hu.

"Can you kill this man?"

Meng Hu shook his head and said: "We can't kill him. If he doesn't run, we will both be injured at most. If he wants to run, I won't be able to catch up."

Although what Yun Chu said was very rude, Li Zhi was still willing to listen to the advice given by Yun Chu, a true warrior.

Whether in actual combat or listening to the evaluations of veterans like Li Ji, Yunchu's ranking has never fallen below the top three among the Tang Dynasty generals.

Since he said there would be a raid in the palace city, Li Zhi wanted to ask Wu Mei, the manager of the harem, for her opinion.

Luoyang Imperial City is an imperial palace built on the basis of the Ziwei Palace City built in the former Sui Dynasty. It covers an area far larger than the Taiji Palace City in Chang'an.

"There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God. The king builds the palace and the elephants build it."

In order to highlight the formality of the palace, the legitimacy of the political power and the supremacy of imperial power, and achieve the "unity of heaven and man\

,"The Sui people matched the stars in the sky with the capital city plan. The human emperor claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and his residence should symbolize the Ziwei Palace, the residence of the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang City "the palace city is called Ziwei City, and its city resembles Ziwei Palace, so it is named after it."

Wu Mei's residence is Shangyang Palace.

Wu Mei has been living in Shangyang Palace since she was scolded by the emperor for her last advice.

When Li Zhi arrived at Shangyang Palace, he found that there were many people in Shangyang Palace, and there were many soldiers guarding around.

Li Zhi stopped the eunuch who went to inform the queen of the news, and walked directly into Shangyang Palace with Meng Hu.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a room full of people waving their hands with worried expressions: "Everyone, get out."

In a short time, everyone in Shangyang Palace disappeared completely.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei who was sitting at the top, and then he lay down on a brocade couch and said to Wu Mei, "What do you want to do?"

Wu Mei said: "Reorganize the palace ban."

Li Zhi remembered what Yun Chu said and said coldly: "I don't see any need to rectify the palace ban."

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "Ziwei Palace is too big, and the people serving here are not people we are familiar with.

Since the thieves can attack the governor's office in daylight and create explosions in Luoyang City, does Your Majesty think it's inappropriate that I want to tighten the defense of the palace? "
