The north of Chang'an is the garrison of the imperial guards. Among the guards, the left and right Yulin is closest to Xuanwu Gate. Before them, there is a Thousand Cavalry Camp.

It was dark in the night. The Yulin Guard Sima Min Yongbo came back from the camp. He took off his sword and threw it on the table. He slowly walked up with his hands in his arms, as if he was a little uneasy. General Wang Dagang, who came back with his patrol, yawned and was about to go back to bed when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Sima Min, do you have any worries?"

Min Yongbo nodded, shook his head again, and said, "The night is already deep, but the general has not returned to the camp yet."

Wang Dagang smiled and said, "Didn't it mean that the King of Hanoi invited him to go to Jinwu Guard? Maybe the two brothers are sitting and drinking and having a long talk at the moment. Even if they don't come back tonight, what are you worried about?"

Min Yongbo said: "It is impossible, the general never greedy for the cup.

Moreover, you also know the general's character. In military affairs, the general never slacked off. How could he not even explain to us? Even if he doesn't come back, he should send a personal soldier back to report a letter."

Wang Dagang still disagreed and said, "You, who can be detrimental to the general? Besides, the general went to Jinwu Guard, which was all the territory of the Wu family."

Min Yongbo snorted and said, "Is it rare to have sex with the same family?"

He also felt that it was inappropriate when he said this. This statement seemed to imply that the Wu family was incompatible, so he coughed and waved to Wang Dagang.

Wang Dagang came to him, and Min Yongbo lowered his voice and said, "A few days ago, Your Majesty gave the general a secret edict, instructing him to strengthen the guards in the palace, especially during the period before the Qianniu Guard changed the defense city. Otherwise, why would you think the general have to go to the palace city to inspect these days?"

Wang Dagang was shocked and said in a lost voice: "What happened?"

Wang Dagang was also Wu Youyi's confidant. After saying this, Min Yongbo did not hide it from him and said, "That is, the general has always been loyal to Your Majesty and never discounts his orders. How could he leave suddenly and give up his official duties of patrolling the city without giving up his explanation to us? I feel uneasy."

Wang Dagang is a pure military general. Although there is no problem in fighting, he is no longer able to do such intrigue. He scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Then...what should we do?"

Min Yongbo thought for a moment and said, "The General has received a secret edict. I have only told me that he has said that the general said. It seems that the Beijing area is not peaceful recently. I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid that if it is. I think so, I will take a team of men to patrol the palace for the General. You will go to the Jinwu Guard. The General will not blame us for being troubled even if he is fine."

Although Wang Dagang was already trapped, Min Yongbo said so, so he had to agree. The two immediately reorganized their personal soldiers. Wang Dagang brought more than 20 subordinates, and Min Yongbo brought a team of 100 people, all riding on horses and rushing out of the gate.

The two teams rushed out of the gate and walked two miles forward. Before they could part ways, they acted one in the south and one in the north. A shrill roar suddenly sounded in the night. It was clearly a sound arrow. The two of them held the war horse together, and they were full of surprise and suspicion.

At this time, a group of people suddenly appeared in the snow field. Because of the reflection of snow, it was not so dark that they could not see the objects at night. They could see the figures clearly, and they could not count them clearly.

Since the other party used Mingdi, he was obviously not afraid of revealing his whereabouts. Min Yongbo and Wang Dagang could not think of what would happen at the gate of the camp. Min Yongbo whispered to a guard to return to the camp to report the news, and he led the cavalry to stand there, hoping to understand.

A rough and bold voice came from the night: "Haha, all the good brothers from Zuo Yulin, it's midnight, where are you going?"

When Min Yongbo heard the man's voice sound familiar, he couldn't remember who he was for a moment, so he asked sternly: "Who are you?"

The man laughed loudly, and a muffled groan suddenly came from behind Min Yongbo's laughter. Min Yongbo turned his head and saw that the guard who was ordered to return to the camp to report the news had just left the group of people and fell from the horse. There was no one around him, and it was clearly attacked by weapons such as crossbow arrows.

Immediately, in the snow behind them, a row of figures suddenly stood up and approached them step by step. Min Yongbo's men became uneasy. Min Yongbo's horse turned around twice in anger. Min Yongbo patted the horse's mane lightly, sootheed the war horse under his crotch, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be confused, calm!"

Min Yongbo knew something was wrong - but he was clearly surrounded. The group of people approaching from the front were all spears and halberds, lined up in neat rows, and those who were surrounded by weapons were all flat. Although they could not see clearly, from their movements and figures, they were clearly military crossbows.

At this distance, Min Yongbo's men only had one time to accelerate the charge, but now there are too many unfavorable conditions for them. First, it was late at night, and it was snowing everywhere, and the speed of sprinting at all was not fast; second, they were wearing short weapons, and the opponent was either long spear, halberd or strong bows and crossbows. Even if he launched the charge, he would definitely not be able to get it.

Moreover, although these people were hostile, they obviously didn't think that the other party would kill him without asking any questions! Therefore, they could not have the courage to fight to the death. As a result, the two sides got closer and closer. When the other party's spear soldiers approached, they had lost the effective distance for the horse to accelerate, and they had no idea of ​​taking action.

The other party's troops stopped, and only one general with a sword came forward alone. When he walked closer, Min Yongbo saw clearly that the person was the son-in-law of Yehuli, the Right Yulin General, Li Duozuo. Min Yongbo thought of the secret order received by General Wu, and his face began to turn blue and said, "General Yehuli, what are you doing?"

Ye Huli slapped the scabbard as if nothing had happened and said loudly: "The two Zhangs bewitched the emperor and scoundrel the court. The imperial guards from all over the north gate and the south yamen have entered the palace to kill the treacherous slander, under the leadership of the prince, the prime minister and the prime ministers. Min Sima, you can't get through this mess."

Wang Dagang's angry face turned purple and he said angrily: "Where is our general?"

Yehuli smiled sly and said, "He is here to be a guest at the King of Hanoi. Don't worry, General Wu Youyi is safe and sound, and His Highness King Liang is accompanying him to have a drink."

When Min Yongbo and Wang Dagang heard this, they were even more shocked. Wu Sansi and Wu Yizong were also involved. No wonder Ye Huli dared to boast that the Northern Gate Imperial Guards and the Southern Gate Guards all responded to the prince's mutiny. There was the crown prince, the prime ministers and the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang, and the Wu family responded secretly. Didn't it just that the court had rebelled?

Wang Dagang said nervously to Min Yongbo: "Sima, what should we do?"

Min Yongbo looked at the soldiers of the Right Yulin who were looking at Dandan around and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yehuli, what do you want?"

Yehuli said, "Please rest in our army. You will be free at dawn. I wonder what you two mean?"

Min Yongbo held Ma Jiang tightly, and he was unsure of making choices for a while, and he felt that his palm was covered with sweat.

Yehuli raised his hand, and the spearmen and halberd soldiers from all over immediately took three steps forward, stepping on the thick snow with neat steps, making a chilling sound. At the same time, the crossbowmen who had always kept a certain distance from them in the rear also moved at the same time, posing as an offensive posture.

Wang Dagang held the knife and shouted anxiously: "Sima!"

Min Yongbo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Give up your weapons! Dismount!"

Li Xian was dressed in disheveled and didn't even wear his boots well. Naturally, he didn't wear his thick and warm outer robe. He was held without touching the ground and was about to reach the palace gate. A cold wind blew in front of him. Li Xian had a cold war cleverly, and his confused mind suddenly woke up.

He thought of his mother's iron-blooded skills and his strong control: "Can the mutiny really succeed tonight? Although the power of the two Zhangs is as strong as a day, they can still be emperors. I am the crown prince, and my position as a crown prince has not changed! My mother is terminally ill, and the throne is within reach, why should I take this risk?"

Li Xian looked around and saw Li Duozuo, Li Zhan and others all looked excited. Li Xian thought to himself: "These people took advantage of the critical illness of the emperor to launch a mutiny. The so-called killing of the two Zhangs to protect the Tang Dynasty was just to seek the merits of following the dragon. Their reputation was decided long ago. As long as they were settled, the throne must be mine. Why should they take risks with them?"

Thinking of this, Li Xian suddenly struggled, threw away the two men who were serving him, grabbed the palace gate tightly, and refused to go out any further. Wang Tongjiao said in surprise: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you..."

Li Xian trembled and said, "The country's plan has its own mother's plan. The so-called military advice is tantamount to infringing on the superiors and causing trouble. It is not done by the ministers, so I am alone... I am alone cannot go!"

When Wang Tongjiao heard this, the blue veins on his forehead jumped up. If the prince didn't go, wouldn't they really rebel? Without the prince, how could they convince the public? The news came out, I'm afraid that the five hundred heroes who sacrificed their lives would disperse and run away. Aren't everyone going to be doomed?

Wang Tongjiao was not polite, and blushed and said to his father-in-law with a thick neck: "Your Highness, the late emperor gave His Highness a divine weapon, but His Highness was deposed by You. People and Gods were both angry. It has been twenty-three years since then. Today, there is a spirit, the North Gate Imperial Guard and the South Gate Prime Minister, working together to kill the two passes and restore the Li family. Please ask Your Highness to go to Xuanwu Gate immediately to be the most popular."

Li Xian kicked the ground with his feet, fell back, hugged the door tightly with both hands, and said in panic: "The treacherous villain should be killed, but the saint's dragon body is ill. What if we raise troops in the inner palace and scare her? Isn't I going to take the name of unfilial piety? In my opinion, you should disperse for the time being. Let's make a long-term plan."

When Li Zhan heard this, his eyes turned red. What nonsense is this? Now he told us to disperse? There has been such a lot of noise. Do you think others are dead pigs? Dispersing now is like committing suicide! If this timid idiot who is as timid as a mouse is the current prince, Li Zhan would have kicked him to death.
